Fifty Strings (1)

Extra: Jinse Fifty Strings (1)

On September 12, the moon was misty.

I walked through the high city walls and jumped up the low eaves, and the Liao patrolling soldiers passed under my feet, and my leaping shadows shrouded them, and the vigilant soldiers raised their heads, but only saw a bright moon, shining in the sky.

Even if they saw me, in their eyes, they would only see me as a bird flying across the sky.

I hurried as fast as I could to the easternmost part of the majestic palace, where the walls were as low as she had described.

I smiled softly and leaned over the palace walls.

In my memory, I have stepped on the roof of the Great Qi Palace more than once, but every time I feel different.

Climbing over the palace walls, I stood on the roof of a palace room and looked down.

The far-reaching nine-fold palace stretched endlessly under my feet, one after another pavilions, halls and corridors, constantly extending into the distance, until at the end of my sight, intertwined with the layers of darkness, inseparable from each other.

Under the quiet moonlight, it seems to have stood for thousands of years, and it seems to continue to stand for thousands of years.

In the shadows, the grandeur and prosperity of the past are still outlined, and the splendor is still outlined. It's just that the bead rings that once filled it are green, and the figures of the warblers and swallows are replaced by rows of black armor.

The brilliance of beauty is easy to fall, and it seems that the passage of time has also made this flashy place lose its proudest brilliance.

I stepped through a roof, following the memories of my childhood. Come to that place.

This is the most lonely place in the harem of Daqi, and it is called the Cold Palace. The palace here is like a dreary cage, with a sense of suffocation that borders on death. At this point, it is silent like a tomb.

In fact, this is a tomb, which buries the splendid years of countless women.

The burial ground is not only those who live in the cold palace of the disgraced concubines, but also those who are inferior to the disgraced concubines.

The wind in September was already so cold. Maybe in this closed and narrow palace road, the wind will also go extra eagerly.

I walked forward nonchalantly. The dusk moonlight wandered in front of my steps. Cast a bleak shadow.

The long palace road is flanked by mottled and faded palace walls, and further on is the low and gloomy small room, presumably the concubines who live in the rich and luxurious palace in the palace can never dream that here, in this prosperous and extravagant, gold-inlaid palace inlaid with jade, there will be such dilapidated palaces.

Separated by a wall, there is prosperity like a dream. On this side are broken ruins.

This is part of the land of the Servitude Division, including the servants who serve the concubines of the cold palace, and the inner prisoners who transport and clean up the filth in the palace...... Those who live here are the lowest-level minions in the entire Great Qi harem, and they naturally live in the most humble houses.

No one knows, but this is also the place where I spent my entire childhood.

I haven't been back since I left here when I was seven years old. Although later, my martial arts have allowed me to easily climb over the low palace walls here. Come and go freely, but never feel in the mood to come back here.

My steps stopped in front of a low house. It's still the way it looks in my memory, but after more than ten years of separation, it's become a little more dilapidated. In this world, I am afraid that no one in this world knows anymore except myself. I've spent seven years in this dilapidated room.

A gust of wind passed, and the broken door "creaked", pushed by the wind, and shook open, as if welcoming the return of a long-lost guest.

I walked in.

The room was still the same as before, only a little more dilapidated. The light from the low windows shone on the uneven ground. The only furniture inside is a tattered bed, which seems to have been uninhabited for a long time. The dirt and garbage that have long been old are almost invisible.

I still remember it vividly. In countless cold, sleepless nights, I tried to hold her tight on this humble bed. Trying to absorb the faint warmth, and the food that is so rough that it is hard to swallow, every time I hold it in my hand, it seems like a treasure.

Immediately, a "tufty" sound came out, interrupting my thoughts, and when I looked down, I saw that it was a thin mouse, probing its head out of the corner.

I would smile and remember that in those days, my only childhood pleasures were them. I bent down, but the little mouse was frightened by the shadow I was close to, squeaked twice in panic, turned around, and ran away.

I sighed, it really was all different.

After all, it's been a full eighteen years.

I used to be the most noble prince of Daliang, Caizhu told me this, and in my short childhood, she repeated this sentence in my ears countless times, deeply engraved in my young heart before I understood the truth.

Caizhu is my mother's personal maid, and she is the henchman of the peerless beauty Shen Luyi who once made people all over the world yearn for her amazing appearance. On the eve of the destruction of the city of Liang, in order to preserve the last royal bloodline, the palace secretly replaced me with a child of the same age early, and then prepared to send me out of the palace. But the Qi army came too quickly, and all the actions failed before they could begin. After that, the Qi army entered the city and entered the palace. In the chaotic situation, no one cared about me, a baby of less than a month, only Caizhu took me, changed into inconspicuous clothes, and tried to leave the palace in a confused way, but fell into the hands of the Qi army halfway through.

After that, she had to declare that I was her son, and that she was just a rough maid.

I don't know what method she used, maybe it was the "prince" who was searched out of the palace and was used as my stand-in to dispel Qi Jun's doubts. Maybe she was too unobtrusive in her rough dress, but anyway, they believed her words, and she was taken back to the capital of Daqi as an ordinary captive.

Then, as the most inconspicuous of the trophies, they were enslaved in the palace and distributed to this most humble place.

How a young woman took my pre-term baby along the long road with the Qi army, and I had no way of knowing the exact process when I was less than a year old. All I know is that when I can remember. It was in this low, dilapidated hut, on this old and decaying bed.

I remember when I was a child, the longest time I spent was sitting on the bed, and then looking up, looking at the window that was so high as I was at that time, and the golden thread that came through the gap in the window was the brightest light that shone on my childhood, and I could only count the number of golden spots on those gaps and the ground to pass the time.

Of course. In the cold of winter, there will also be cold winds that pour in through those cracks mercilessly, which makes me distressed. My lips turned purple from the cold. At that time, I would look forward to the return of the colored beads with the greatest eagerness and bring back the only warmth that belonged to my childhood.

Caizhu was here to wash the clothes of the minions who were higher than her, and every day, her hands were pale and swollen with blisters, but they were the only source of warmth for my childhood. The truest guarantee of happiness.

From time to time, rats would pass by in the house, and whenever these little animals appeared, it was a rare joy of my childhood, and I was always happy as if I had eaten the best food. Unfortunately, they don't usually stay here for long, because they can't find anything to eat and then move out.

Caizhu doesn't like to let me out of this house. It was as if as long as I was exposed to the sun, my secret lineage and identity would be exposed to everyone. So, almost every day she would leave the door tightly locked when she left early in the morning, and then she would come back tired after dark and bring me food for the next day.

When no one was there at night, she would take me out of this low house, on the long empty palace road, and under the silver-white moonlight. At that time, she would talk about the past in a dreamlike tone, and talk about the Great Liang Kingdom that she would call in her dreams. Speaking of the carved fence jade masonry in the past. Zhu Yan is like a flower......

The days are like a stagnant and rotten wooden bed under your feet, flowing unconsciously.

When I was five years old. I began to be able to follow the chores piled up indoors, climb up to the window, and look out through the cracks in the rotten wood.

The palace road under the sun is a completely different scenery from the palace road under the moonlight. It is the difference between the noisy and the sharp and the cold and silent.

I saw people in gray and dirty clothes running around, like the occasional rat scurrying on the ground, and pale and haggard people like thin shadows passing by the door, their beautiful faces, but strangely like ghosts in the stories that Rainbow Beads had told me. I can also often see people in green robes, and they have strange high-pitched voices that make me very uncomfortable to hear.

And sometimes, people with more beautiful and clean clothes will come over, and their expressions will be full of disdain and disdain, and their eyes will look like Caizhu looking at the rats in the house. They would call out to others in a high-pitched voice and say things in a tone of instruction that I didn't understand. Sometimes they would roll up the sleeves of their shiny and shiny clothes and wave them down......

This continued until I was seven years old.

One day, after I turned seven, Caizhu got up early in the morning, locked the door tightly, and left to wash the clothes that would never be washed. But on this day, she didn't know that the lock that had been used for an unknown number of years had broken down, and the door could be opened with a gentle push.

When I found out the secret, I didn't tell the beads, but waited for the opportunity I had been waiting for for a long time.

Afterwards, I recalled countless times what had happened that day, and then I asked myself, if I had known the outcome of this outing, would I have walked out of that door with such determination, such perseverance, and with such ecstasy and hope?

After thinking about it for a long time, I realized. The answer is yes. I longed so much to get out of the rotten cage that had imprisoned me for seven long years, to isolate me in a cold corner, and the longer I stayed in such a corner, the more I longed for the warm sunshine outside, the fresh air outside, and the madness of longing.

When I finally got the chance to leave the house where I had been imprisoned for seven years, I immersed myself in the magical freshness of the outside sun. Feel the feeling of the sun shining all over your body, and feel the special warmth.

I ran along the long palace road. The feeling of running on the road makes me happy and satisfied, and I have the pleasure of flying. Even after the martial arts were successful, when I was really able to fly anywhere, I never felt such a refreshing and direct happiness again.

I kept moving along the long road, and the more I went, the more beautiful and new the scenery became. My heart was filled with joy and wonder and I forgot when I could go back.

When someone walks by, I instinctively bend down and bury myself deep in the grass, behind the trees. Like a sensitive little beast, vigilantly watching the movement around it.

I walked all the way, farther and farther.

My stomach was starting to get hungry, but I still didn't want to go back to that room. I don't want to give up the beautiful scenery in front of me. Just as I was hesitating, I had already walked into a beautiful garden.

I've never seen so many beautiful flowers. Clusters of bushes crowded every corner around me.

The sight was so beautiful that I forgot for a moment that I was hungry and tired, and I walked into the depths of the garden, and then I saw him.

At that time, he was wearing a golden dress. There are many other places above that shimmer with different lights, like small stars in the night.

I've never seen such a shining color, so bright that my eyes can't help but shine brighter than the sunlight that peeks through the crack in the window.

"Who are you?" He spotted me, and then his red apple-like face looked puzzled. He jumped down from a log hanging in the air and ran towards me.

He looked about my size, maybe even smaller.

He ran up to me and stared at me with interest. His white and tender face turned red from the brief run, like the peach steamed buns that the colored beads would bring back to the house once in a while.

"I ...... I'm ......" Suddenly I didn't know how to answer, it was the first time I had spoken to someone other than Caizhu.

"Ahh You're so dirty. A look of surprise appeared on his face. "I've never seen a girl as dirty as you. ”

At that time, of course, I didn't know exactly what a girl was. If I had known at the time, I guess I would have pounced on him and taught him a hard lesson, letting him know that he was the kind of guy who cried at every turn.

At the time, I just looked down at myself. There is not the slightest trace of dust, why does he say dirty? Colored beads always wash my clothes cleanly, even though they are shabby.

Then I looked up at him. Looking at the shiny clothes on his body, perhaps, compared to such clothes, all the clothes in the world can only be regarded as dirty.

All of a sudden, I was very angry, very angry.

His pink face had already come closer, and with a look of surprise, he asked, "Which palace are you from?" Your host must be stingy and stingy. Tell me, I'll go ......"

I didn't hear his nagging clearly, because I was so close to him, I suddenly saw clearly what was in his arms.

It was a shiny orbular object, with indescribable patterns on it, and the strangest thing was that it seemed to be made up of many balls, one layer after another, each of which seemed to shimmer with a different light, and there were long tassels falling underneath, shaking and shaking with his movements, making people want to reach out and touch it. My whole spirit was captivated by it.

He saw my gaze and looked down, and then he smiled smugly at me: "This is called the Nine Turns Linglong Ball, which is a foreign tribute, and it was given to me by the Queen Mother, envy, right?" This one is very rare and fun. He said as he lifted the ball in front of me.

I think there must have been a frenzy in my eyes that he was so frightened by my gaze that he took a step back, but he couldn't back back after that.

For I had grabbed the long tassel that was swaying and swaying in front of me, tempting me. Then he dragged it towards him.

But he held the ball tightly and didn't let go, and as a result, without defense, he was dragged forward by me and almost fell.

I just want this glittering orb, not you.

Seeing his body pounce on me with the ball, I raised my hand and pushed him, trying to push him far away.

But he still stubbornly refused to let go.

Then I remembered what I had seen through the cracks in the window......

Naturally, I raised my hand and waved it down hard.
