Chapter 346: Extra: Consummation
Pei Jue's last hour or two was static.
He couldn't feel anything around him, neither could he feel the heat and cold.
There is no joy or sorrow, just a blankness. He didn't know that he was dying, and it seemed that his consciousness had become a fluttering mess.
Then, he saw the East Palace.
The East Palace in the Imperial Palace of Shengjing City. The tent he was most familiar with.
Footsteps rang out, and soon a woman in a yellow shirt entered.
It's Kim's. With such a face, Pei Jue could already see it clearly. Except for a hint of doubt in my heart, everything seems to be normal.
Jin came over and smiled with him: "It's all at this time, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince up yet?" It's time for lunch. ”
Jin's smile was good-looking, and Pei Jue thought blankly, Jin's appearance didn't seem to be so beautiful.
Where did he seem to have seen something more beautiful? But at this time, it seems that Kim's is very good.
As soon as the picture turned, the Kim family was still the Kim family, but the hair accessories and clothes had changed, and a cute child was held in his arms. The lips are red and the teeth are white, which is likable.
"Your Highness, look, Heng'er is making trouble. Can you hold him? ”
Then, in Pei Jue's arms, there was an extra child. He was busy hugging and seemed very familiar.
When the child was held by him, he stretched out his fleshy little hand and touched his chin.
Then, he and Kim sat in the octagonal pavilion in the garden of the East Palace, watching the children on one side read.
The kid was already seven or eight years old, and he was really good-looking. He shook his head and read a book, and his voice was crisp and beautiful.
The Jin family filled Pei Jue with the tea in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of tea it was, but he felt that it smelled good.
"Your Highness, look, Heng'er has studied very hard. You don't have to worry about it later. ”
Pei Jue nodded, as if he was really not too worried.
The child looked up, smiled at him, and then lowered his head and went back to reading.
Then, it was a sunny day. It's still him and the Kim family, but it's not just the three of them with children.
And a lot of people. Looking closely, it was his brothers, his sisters. There are even a lot of children, all nephews and nephews.
Gathered together, it is a festival.
Jin peeled off a red bean paste zongzi and put it in front of him: "Your Highness's favorite red bean zongzi, you can eat several, but don't eat too much, it's easy to accumulate food." ”
Pei Jue nodded, and really started eating, but he always felt that it was a long time ago that he could eat several.
The brothers laughed and raised their glasses to drink, and the sisters laughed and talked.
Pei Jue didn't think it was strange at all, why did they just laugh at each other, but no one talked to him?
He didn't even feel uncomfortable, as if it was enough for the brothers to be here and the sisters to be here.
It doesn't matter if you ignore him.
Then, he saw the children who practiced martial arts. The boy had grown much taller. The appearance is becoming more and more likeable. His posture is upright, and the posture of his sword is elegant and tight.
It's still Kim who accompanies him, and it's still good weather.
"You see, Heng'er's martial arts are excellent. There are few people in this Shengjing City who have learned more than him. Isn't Your Highness still at ease? In the future, he will be able to protect himself. ”
Then, Pei Jue watched the kid wield his long sword, and then withdrew his hand and came over to talk to him.
said the same: "Look, I am very good at martial arts, I can protect myself, and there will be no accidents, are you relieved?" ”
Then Pei Jue smiled, touched the child's head, and nodded.
The family sits under the moonlight and admires the moon. This is the moon viewing platform in the Imperial Palace of Shengjing City. The moon is best seen here.
Jin poured wine with him and chattered: "Let's have a drink as a family, it's rare to be reunited." ”
Then, the children who have grown up also raise their glasses: "Look, I drink a lot of alcohol, are you relieved?" ”
The moonlight is clear, but not cold. Pei Jue looked up at the round moonlight, and only felt very satisfied.
In the last scene, he was already dying, lying on the couch, still the tent he was familiar with. It's still a familiar room. It's just that there hasn't been a single slave from the beginning to the end. He didn't care.
Kim also has white hair and is still an elegant old lady.
"Your Highness is relieved, are you relieved?"
Pei Jue looked at the couch, Heng'er, who was already a young man, was wearing a dragon robe and holding a woman and a child.
It's just that the faces of the woman and the child can't be seen clearly. But I also know that they are all beautiful.
"Are you relieved? I've had a very good life, and I'll keep what you give me. I also have a wife and children. Are you relieved? ”
Jin also smiled: "Don't worry, Heng'er is older." He's most blessed, isn't he? Without so many people, our Pei family shouldn't be extinct. If she is the last one, how can Heng'er be born? Heng'er is the darling of heaven and a blessed child. ”
Pei Jue on the couch never said a word from beginning to end. But at this moment, he looked at Heng'er with a handsome face and the kind Jin, and finally felt relieved.
So, he slowly closed his eyes.
In the last consciousness I was left behind, I heard the child say, "May you have such simple happiness in the next life." ”
Prince Pei Jue's life was a tragedy.
But in the last short time, he called himself no regrets.
A gentle and lovely wife, a sensible child. Even the weather in the dream was good. There is no bad moment. Kim is always smiling, and brothers and sisters are also smiling.
Isn't that what he's always wanted? Even in his last dream, he didn't want the throne. He gave everything he could to his children.
He didn't know that that child was the younger brother he grew up with.
Actually, it's good not to know, I don't know, I don't have any regrets when I can really leave.
In this dream, he seems to have really returned to the time when the Jin family was still there, back to the time when his brothers and sisters were still there, and back to the Shengjing City, which may have been destroyed a long time ago.
also returned to Pei Heng's childhood.
The former is all the ties of the first half of his life. The obsession and guilt he couldn't forget.
The latter is the only solace and hope for the rest of his life. He couldn't rest assured.
In the end, he had such a dream, coaxing himself.
Pretend that the obsession of the first half of life has been eliminated, and the guilt has been made up.
The solace of the second half of the dowry has really been solace, and hope has really become hope.
And this dream, who knows that it is not what he wants in this life?
It's a pity that he was born in the royal family, and he can't ask for such a day.
can only deceive yourself when you are dying, and no one can know how to deceive yourself.
But it's okay, I finally deceived myself. No longer feel guilty, and finally feel at ease.
Well, who knows if there will be an afterlife after death? At the end of this life, if there are no more regrets, it will be considered complete.
After all, human beings are the best at deceiving themselves......
