Chapter 63: Painstaking but Eternal Winter
"When you were in the woods that day, you didn't even have a weapon on you. If there is a weapon with you, it is not like that. This seven-star knife is so good that it is also a treasure knife. But whoever knows, as long as he sees this sword, he will not act rashly. Of course, with your skills, coupled with this knife, I'm afraid that ordinary people can't help you. ”
Cao Pi spoke lightly, and didn't say anything more to Chai Xuan's words. On the contrary, it made Chai Xuan feel a little awkward.
Although Cao Pi is very polite to himself, Cao Cao is his father after all. In line with the good virtues of the old and the old, what's the matter, you should also call Uncle Cao the first king, isn't it.
"This knife is so precious, you are really willing to let me carry it." Chai Xuan puffed out her cheeks and raised her eyes to look at Cao Pi.
Looking at Chai Xuan, who obviously wanted to, but forced out a modest and lovely appearance, Cao Pi was slightly happy, "Since it is so precious, you have to take it with you." It's a bit heavier, but it's not too difficult for you! ”
"Really, give it to me." Chai Xuan looked at Cao Pi excitedly, and couldn't hide the joy in her glass-like ink pupils.
Staring at Chai Xuan, whose mind was sucked away by the treasure knife, Cao Pi smiled faintly. What he expects is that Chai Xuan can be safe and secure in this palace. No matter who wants to trouble Chai Xuan in the future, as long as this knife is there, it can protect her for a while.
"Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty once set up Xu Pingjun as the queen of 'the deep love of the sword', and I will give you this knife today. It is also the heart that will never change. "The warm language turns into the wind, and the heart of the complainant is as warm as the sun.
Chai Xuan stared with clear eyes, and her heart had already melted into the starry eyes that looked at her. Put your feet together and kiss the hot thin lips. No matter what the outcome is, he has decided to gamble for him, even if he is wiped out, he must keep his original promise and never let go.
He said affectionately, full of infatuation and listen......
The cool breeze crossed, rolling layers of dead leaves, falling slowly. Looking at the scene in front of her, Pan Xue's heart was as cold as winter, and there was no trace of happiness in her eyes.
Although Li Xiang let herself go so easily, she never complained or complained. But Cao Pi's attitude towards himself plummeted, and the threshold of Changxuan Palace was about to be broken by him, but her Changshu Palace was about to become a cold palace.
Pan Xue frowned and sighed to herself, and suddenly heard the master and servant slowly walking opposite Xiao Tan, raising her eyes to look, but the frowning between her eyebrows was tighter.
"Nobleman, we haven't been out for a few days, why is this garden depressed like this." Xiao Man looked at the deserted garden with a displeased face and complained.
"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring; As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky. In this way, do you still feel lonely? Chai Xuan stalked her neck, put her hands behind her back, and shook her head to chant Liu Yuxi's "Autumn Words". Looking back and smiling, he looked at Xiao Man who was following behind him.
Looking at Chai Xuan shaking her head and shaking her head like a merry and talented person, Xiao Man couldn't help but cover her mouth, "Yes, yes, the noble man is full of poetry and knowledge, so naturally he can be poetic when he sees anything." It's a pity that Xiaoman is a rough man, and such a good poem has to be appreciated by His Majesty. ”
Since the grounding, Chai Xuan's attitude towards Cao Pi has also changed. I used to always hide and never say much and never ask much. But now, Chai Xuan and Cao Pi are just like the newlywed couple, and the dog food in Changxuan Palace is about to overflow.
However, in front of Chai Xuan, Cao Pi is completely like a warm man, which is called a considerate and caring person. It's just that I pity Xiaoman and their group of single dogs, not only do they have to listen to the sweet love words from time to time, but they also have to watch the two show their affection day and night.
Chai Xuan pursed her lips and squinted at her Xiaoman, and grimaced speechlessly, but she didn't refute it. Anyway, his return date is not far away, so he naturally has to cherish the bits and pieces with Cao Pi, even if he goes back in the future, he will not regret it.
"Sister Xuan, it's really talented." Pan Xue Yingying stepped forward and bowed.
Seeing each other, Pan Xue was very calm, but Chai Xuan didn't have such a good temperament.
Chai Xuan smiled and said calmly, "Pan Shuyuan has said it, I'm just a person who can't recognize many words, how can you be so exquisite." I'm sorry, Qiu Zhaoyi asked me to enjoy the piano, but it's always bad to miss the appointment, so I'll take the first step. After that, he hurriedly passed by Xiaoman, and said nothing more.
Pan Xue, who was cold in place, did not have any waves in her heart. Even if you don't have to think about it, you know that Chai Xuan will never forgive herself anymore. But Chai Xuan is still Chai Xuan, even if she hates herself very much in her heart, she will only be cold to herself in the face. No, there is any substantial harm.
"Shuyuan, are you okay?" He Yue, who was following behind Pan Xue, was also worried that Pan Xue would be sad because of Chai Xuan's ignorance.
Pan Xue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly, "It's okay, at least I feel better if she does this." ”
Qi raised her eyes lightly and swept through Chai Xuan's devastated garden, Pan Xue only felt the frost in her heart, and no one would help her cover the heat anymore. Maybe in this life, dying alone is the doomed end for me.
The long path is deep and the heart is cold, who pities the lonely shadow and cries alone; Although the frost is cold and the sun is warm, the painstaking heart is eternal winter.
Outside Changyi Palace, the pines and cypresses are verdant, quiet and far away, but it is very commensurate with Qiu Ling's character.
As soon as I stepped into the door, I could hear the sound of the piano in the palace, and the tone was quiet, comfortable, tactful and melodious, and it was very tight.
Speaking of the sound of the piano, Chai Xuan has heard a lot. Zhen Mi's weeping and complaining, and Li Guiren's tactfulness and continuity, are not as good as Qiu Ling's and his own mind today, like the tinkling of spring water and the soft sound of a ring.
"But the nobleman is here?" The sound of the piano ended, but a question came.
Chai Xuan snapped her head and followed the sound to find it, but saw a cyan figure bending out of the corridor, reflecting the green pines around her, which was so elegant and refreshing.
Cao Pi does not lack a lot of people in this palace who look like they are all over the country, and along the way, they are quite standard when they meet a palace maid at random. However, after seeing so many concubines, they all scratched their heads and made gestures. is either pretending to be cute, or pretending to be weak, and everyone treats themselves as sick Xi Shi, which is really eye-catching.
But this Qiu Ling is different, it is a rare kind of extremely pure. Even if she knew it, she was also delicate in her heart, but she still couldn't help but feel that she was different from others and was a friend she could make.
"Friend Ling, how did you find me?" Chai Xuan raised her chin slightly and walked over to her with a smile. Xiao Man stood under the porch with Lu Fu.
Qiu Ling smiled faintly, her eyes were curved like two crescents, "The footsteps of nobles have always been lighter than others. I have learned the rhythm of music since I was a child, and I still have the ability to distinguish and recognize people. ”
"I see." Chai Xuan nodded with an approving gaze.
Looking sideways at Qiu Ling's long piano placed in the center of the pavilion, the piano wood is ancient, and a few lotus flowers are simply carved, which is simple and elegant.
"What do you want to hear today, noble?" Qiu Ling turned around and sat down, and the cyan dress really swayed slightly like a green lotus.
"Hmmm......"
Chai Xuan sat in her place, twisted her eyebrows and thought about it for a while, but she didn't think of any good opinions. After all, I really don't understand such an elegant thing.
Seeing Chai Xuan's dilemma, Qiu Ling chuckled and said, "That's it, how about I play a song of Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix". ”
"Sima Xiangru is the one who seduced Zhuo Wenjun."
Chai Xuan frowned, and didn't seem to like this person very much. What do you say that you only love Zhuo Wenjun wholeheartedly, but in the end, you don't want to take a concubine. If it weren't for Sister Wenjun's wit, she would have been abandoned.
"What "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", I think, is seeking excitement. The beautiful woman Wenjun who harmed him in vain followed him to live a hard life, but as a result, she had to take a concubine, which was really lacking in people's hearts. Chai Xuan said with a look of disdain.
Looking at Chai Xuan's cynical appearance, Qiu Ling's crispy hand that had been put on the string injury was slowly retracted, and said with a smile: "Three wives and four concubines are already ordinary, why should a noble person be like this." Isn't the three palaces and six courtyards seen at this eye the best proof? At this point, Qiu Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.
Qiu Ling's words couldn't help but make Chai Xuan's heart cold. Raising her eyes to look at Qiu Ling who was sad in front of her, Chai Xuan was thoughtful.
No matter how much he deceives himself, Cao Pi is still the emperor of the Wei State, as long as the emperor, there is no way for him to compare with this Yingying Yanyan, who is constantly being sent to the palace. No matter how good Cao Pi is to himself, he is sincere. He still wants to stay in the queen's palace on the fifteenth day of the new year, and he has to spoil the other concubines every once in a while.
What is in order to balance the harem and stabilize the former dynasty. In the final analysis, it's for your own desires, the gentle township that is warm and soft.
The more she thought about it, the more angry Chai Xuan became, and got up angrily. pursed his lips in a huff, but his two fists were clenched tightly.
"What's the matter, noble?" Qiu Ling looked at Chai Xuan with a gloomy face with some puzzlement, why did she get angry when she was so good.
"Qiu Ling, who did you say Your Majesty liked?"
Chai Xuan Ninja was angry and asked a little aggrieved. Although it is a little inappropriate to ask such a question in front of Qiu Ling, if he doesn't ask it, he will be uncomfortable.
"Before I saw the nobles, I heard that His Majesty had built an eternal platform for the current queen, saying that 'treat each other sincerely, live and die together, forever as before, and this platform is the proof'. Wherever she is, His Majesty will take her with him. Everyone said that His Majesty would execute Zhen Mi for the sake of Queen Guo and help her become the queen. Qiu Ling said lightly.
"But the queen's seat is ......," Chai Xuan said.
Qing's eyes sank slightly, and Qiu Ling interrupted Chai Xuan's words, "I know, it's the result of your efforts." But Yongshitai is really there, His Majesty's feelings for the queen, is it true or false for the nobles? ”
Looking at Chai Xuan's uncomfortable expression, Qiu Ling shook her head helplessly. She didn't want to do anything to Chai Xuan, but wanted to puncture her illusions of being in love with the emperor. Perhaps, in this way, when she encounters a situation like this in the future, she will be able to think openly.
