Chapter 38: The Uniqueness of a Life
There was a sound of criticism in the hall, even Duan Zhixuan didn't expect Li Yuan to be rewarded like this, so he was stunned, but I slowly got up and walked to the middle of the hall, kneeling down and saluting.
Then he looked up at Li Yuan and said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, Yue'er is immoral and incompetent, and she dare not accept Your Majesty's kindness." ”
Everyone present took a breath of cool air, and Duan Zhixuan immediately stepped forward and knelt down, arching his hand and saying, "Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted: "Your Majesty, Yue'er is free by nature and does not like to be restrained, since Your Majesty said that I am deeply liked by Your Majesty, then why does Your Majesty let what you like become disgusting?" Just keep it like! Yue'er soon sought to be rich and noble, and did not seek to be above ten thousand people, but only to be free and unrestrained. ”
The hall suddenly fell silent, some people looked at me nervously, some people looked at me with an unknown gaze, and another person looked at me with appreciation.
It's been a long time, so long that everyone is probably thinking in their hearts, how will I die?
Everyone looked at Li Yuan on the high seat, waiting for him to give an order, and even I felt that there were already guards ready outside the hall, and as long as Li Yuan gave the order to execute me, they would rush in immediately.
But the next moment, Li Yuan's reaction surprised everyone. Li Yuan laughed and said, "Okay! Sure enough, as rumored to be bold! Good! I've got! ”
There was no trace of dodging and fear in my eyes, I smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, for Your Majesty's love, Yue'er is willing to dedicate a song." ”
Li Yuan smiled: "Yes! ”
Duan Zhixuan looked at me, a little worried. I smiled at him and signaled to him to be reassured. He returned to his position, I walked up to the stage, and a girl brought me a guqin, which I looked at a little familiar, but I really couldn't remember where I had seen it.
For two years, I either read books or practiced the piano, because Duan Jing used to play the piano well, I had to practice harder, but in the end I couldn't reach her level. Later, I came up with a way to make up for the shortcomings by adapting some of the songs I had heard before.
After I sat down, I raised my hand and plucked the strings, from top to bottom, and then raised my eyes to look at Li Yuanji, and then lowered my eyes and never looked at him again. Fingernails plucked slightly, and gently hummed:
I said I couldn't write poetry, I just
In the poem, your shadow is portrayed
I still remember that year in the cold winter and heavy snow
You promised me a lifetime
A city of smoke and rain, a platform
A flower blooms for a tree
A smile, a confidant
Little by little, a feeling
Ahh Ahh Ahh
I would say that all my life I just want to use
Your name to form sentences to write words
Tell you about the poetry that is unique in this world
Tell me my only story about you
A song is separated from a play
A leaf gives birth to only one bodhi
Word by word, sentence by sentence
A lifetime of reminiscence
……
A moist touch came from the fingertips.
(Li Yuanji looked intently at the person playing the piano on the stage, and his cherry-like red lips opened slightly.) Every word he spoke, every word turned into a sharp dagger and pierced into his heart. The person in front of him blurred, his eyes began to moisten, and he raised his hand to pick up the wine glass on the table. Not even noticing another drop of warm stuff slipping down his cheek and falling into the glass, he tilted his head and drank the wine from the glass.
He knew that he and the person in front of him would be strangers from then on. )
In an instant, I smiled and raised my head, stood up and saluted, and the whole hall was so quiet that I could hear a pin drop on the ground.
Li Yuan came back to his senses and looked at me for a while, then took the lead in clapping his hands and said, "Okay!" I remember that you also composed a song on the day of your birthday, and I didn't have a good time on that day, but today I have fulfilled a wish. ”
I smiled politely and said, "Your Majesty has won the prize." ”
When Li Yuan opened his mouth, His Royal Highness resounded with an endless stream of praises, and I returned to Duan Zhixuan's side, and finally didn't look at Li Yuanji again.
After Li Yuan married everything that should be married, and rewarded everything that should be rewarded, the banquet ended.
As soon as I got into the carriage, I heard the voice of a eunuch outside the carriage: "Miss Duan, please stay." ”
Duan Zhixuan asked me to sit in the carriage and wait for me to get out of the carriage and talk to the eunuch. After a while, Duan Zhixuan got into the car with a wrapped guqin, and I frowned slightly and asked, "This is?" ”
Duan Zhixuan looked at the piano in his hand, put the piano on the side of the seat, and then sat back beside me and asked the coachman to get up before replying: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent it, saying that this piano can only play its role in your hands." ”
I looked at it and stopped talking, no wonder I thought this piano was so familiar, it turned out that I had seen it in Li Jiancheng's study.
I leaned on Duan Zhixuan's shoulder, looking at the front with a dull gaze, but I couldn't stop Li Yuanji's face from appearing in my mind.
I wanted to cry, but I couldn't, and Duan Zhixuan didn't know how to comfort me, so he could only silently let me lean on and accompany me.
…
At night, I was lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, when suddenly there was a strange sound on the roof, I turned over and got up, opened the door, and saw an orange mass in the courtyard.
When the thing saw me, it ran over, and I bent down and touched it, "Kirin, where have you been?" Long time no see? Where have you gone? How did you find this place? ”
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he turned around and threw a small stone that he picked up when he squatted down just now and threw it to the roof, only to see which figure on the roof instantly caught the stone.
I stood there and looked up at the man on the roof in amazement, and the man looked at me in equal amazement. He looked at me from above, and I looked up at him, looking at each other.
I frowned slightly and said to the man: "His Royal Highness King Qin! Why are you standing on my roof in the middle of the night? ”
Li Shimin didn't speak, jumped off the roof, and fell in front of me, I looked at him who was still paralyzed, and felt even more strange.
I saw him take out a jar of "osmanthus brew" from behind him and put it in my arms and said, "Drink with me." ”
Hey! My temper, you haven't fallen out of love, it's me who has fallen out of love! I haven't even said I'm looking for someone to drink, but he's...
I looked at the wine in my arms, thought about it, and finally opened the lid, picked up the wine jar and poured a few sips, drank a little anxiously, and was choked until I coughed, "Ahem, cough..."
Li Shimin sat at the stone table, looking at me, I handed him the wine, to be honest, I didn't expect that I would drink with Tang Taizong under such circumstances one day.
I looked at the unicorn on the side and wanted to reach out to touch it, but it suddenly jumped into Li Shimin's arms and rubbed it meekly, I was so frightened that I couldn't close my mouth and watched this scene.
After a while, he asked, "Is this your cat?" ”
Li Shimin looked at the fat cat in his arms, touched the head of the unicorn, looked at me and said coldly: "No." After speaking, he took the wine on the table and drank two sips.
I walked over to him and sat down, in fact, although I didn't see him much, but for some reason I didn't feel restrained at all.
I also reached out and touched the fat cat in his arms and said: "The unicorn is the name I gave it, it is a cat that fell from the sky, I don't know who sent it, and it met on a rainy day, it is small and very cute." Later, I somehow grew like this, but I found that it always disappeared, and then I couldn't find it again, but I didn't expect it to appear at this time today. ”
I let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky, and said starry, "Hey... So what is yours is yours, if not, it's best not to force it, let it be! "I was talking to him, and I was talking to myself.
Li Shimin didn't speak, I shook my head and took a few sips from the wine jar, I found that when people want to get drunk, they always drink more and more soberly.
After being silent for a while, I turned my head to look at his side face and asked, "By the way, aren't you also with Miss Changsun today..."
Li Shimin turned his head to look at me, then raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Wushuang should have married me when she was thirteen, but on the day of the wedding, the border war was urgent, so it has been delayed until now. ”
I looked at him in amazement, this was probably the longest thing he had ever said, right? But I was also very curious, it turned out that the full name of Empress Changsun was Changsun Wushuang.
I smiled and said, "Well, don't worry, she will be your sweetheart." ”
He suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, but said with some self-deprecation: "It's a pity that I'm not her lover." ”
The wind of the summer night was a little cool, and the wind blew the broken hair on my cheeks and dazzled my eyes, giving me the illusion that I seemed to see Li Shimin He had just smiled?
I also raised the corners of my mouth slightly, yes! You can see clearly, she is your warm spring sun, but you are her winter ice. I think if you really loved her so much in history, she wouldn't be bored enough to write "The Female Rule"!
