Chapter 399: Gain and Loss (2)
yes, none of them can afford to lose it anymore. Fortunately, he still has loyal subordinates, and he can stay away from the temple. And what about yourself? The only living relatives, the only deep friends, are all far, far away from themselves, living on that island, a place called "Momen".
In contrast, she seemed to be more barren and lonely than he was. But we can only accept the reality and be willing to do it.
Thinking about it, her eyes burned slightly, she remembered the desperate words she had said to Yunchen on Cangshan, her throat choked slightly, so she filled the wine glasses of the two again, raised her glass to him and said: "I apologize for what I said on Cangshan, now, I understand you and bless you." ”
"No need to apologize," Yunchen sighed and raised his glass, "I should ask for your forgiveness." Wei Nong, I am worthy of anyone in this life, only you, I am sorry for you. ”
Hearing this, tears of relief finally burst out of his eyes, and he turned his head away slightly, hiding his expression in the shadow of the lamplight. However, her eyes were so crystal clear, and they were exceptionally bright in the moonlight, which was a different kind of dazzling.
Yunchen looked at her intently, wanting to say something more, but in the end he could only remain silent. A gust of autumn breeze blew through, slowly waking up his slightly drunk wine, and also drying the tears on his slightly thick cheeks.
Her hand holding the cup was trembling slightly, and she was speechless about her thoughts, but she immediately turned around and smiled at him: "Don't talk about this, let's all look forward." ”
With a "ding" sound, the two white jade cups touched each other again, and the fingertips of the two also inadvertently touched each other, and quickly separated.
This glass of wine entered their throats, and they both felt bitter. Wei Nong hurriedly diverted the topic and asked casually, "What are your plans for the future?" ”
Yunchen also cooperated with her and said, "I told you when I was in Cangshan that I planned to do business. ”
Wei Nong pretended to suddenly realize: "Oh yes, you have bought out the right to transport the new dynasty." ”
"Well," Yunchen smiled again, "Since there is no hope of recovering the country in this life, then let yourself be rich and rival the country." Once he grasps the economic lifeline of the world, he can be regarded as an uncrowned emperor. ”
Master the economic lifeline and be the uncrowned emperor...... Wei Nong was worried about him: "This road is not easy to follow, if you are not careful, you will lose everything, and future generations will be put into it." ”
"No matter how difficult it is, it's better than recovering from the country, I'm confident." Yunchen smiled slightly: "As for future generations...... Dynasties also rise and fall, if you become an emperor, wouldn't your descendants be more dangerous? ”
Indeed it is. Wei Nong knew in his heart that Yunchen had the courage to kill and decide, the calmness of dormant bending and stretching, and the mind to look down on the world. In this way, he is destined not to be unknown, no matter where he goes or what he does in the future, he will definitely do the ultimate and will shine.
The rich can rival the country, and the uncrowned emperor should not be difficult for him.
"It seems that you really have figured it out," Wei Nong was also quite relieved when he thought of this, "I originally thought that you would be a little unwilling, after all, not everyone can make up their minds to give up their honorable surname and royal status." ”
"You were also a princess and a queen...... When you put down these identities and went to become a monk and travel, were you half unwilling? Yunchen replied with a question.
Wei Nong was speechless for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that I am also so amazing." ”
"It's amazing, and it's going to be even greater." Yunchen praised from the bottom of his heart.
"After you say this, I want to be the queen of this new dynasty, and I can't live up to your expectations." Wei Nong said the joke again.
However, Yunchen didn't smile, but looked solemn and was silent for a long time: "Do you know why I persuaded you to be the queen?" ”
"You're thinking about the big picture, and you're thinking about me." Wei Nong experienced Momen and his party, and really understood his intentions.
Unexpectedly, Yunchen was silent for a longer time: "Actually, I also have selfish intentions. ”
"What selfishness?"
Yunchen clenched the empty cup in his hand, and seemed to have made great determination before he spoke: "Because you have feelings for the Chu State, only if you become the queen of the new dynasty, will you treat the people of the Chu State well." Because it is you, I can willingly give up the restoration of the country. ”
Because it is you, I can willingly give up the restoration of the country.
Weinong's heart tightened suddenly, and he felt his throat choke for the second time tonight, but he couldn't say anything.
Under the moonlight, Yunchen's starry eyes seemed to have lost all their brilliance, replaced by full trust. He took the initiative to pick up the wine jug, filled each other's wine glasses, and solemnly saluted Wei Nong: "Wei Nong, I have entrusted the people of Chu to you." ”
The hatred of losing the country, the loss of love, the pain of giving up, and the regret of being alone...... Because it's you, it's all worth it.
At this moment, Wei Nong only felt extremely moved and emotional, she wanted to open her mouth to promise something, but she felt that she was short of words. Only the glass of wine in her hand seemed to carry thousands of words, she held it in her bare hands, and drank it wordlessly under Yunchen's gaze.
Then, they looked at each other and smiled.
Time flies, and creation has ruthlessly crushed the fate of the two into mud, so low that it can never be found back.
But fortunately, the trust is still there.
Gain and loss, loss and gain, go around and around, time is still preferential in the end, leaving them with the most precious thing. This is the legacy of the past years, from now on, no matter the end of the world, no matter when and where, thinking of that period of the past, they have never failed each other, and can give each other a satisfactory explanation.
This is also the sublimation of a relationship, another kind of fulfillment, which can draw a perfect end between them.
On this night, the wine is greeted to the moon, and the guests and hosts are happy.
Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet tonight, King Ning authorized the palace gate to postpone the key for two hours, and at the end of the day, the small banquet in Penglai Pavilion ended, and Wei Nong personally sent Yunchen out of the palace gate.
The autumn breeze was light, comfortable and cool, and the two walked on foot, sobering up and drinking. Wei Nong asked as he walked, "When do you plan to resign from King Ning?" ”
"Wait until the dust settles!" Yunchen replied with a negative hand: "I'm not in a hurry. ”
"So where do you plan to make your home in the future? Go back to Chudi? Wei Nong asked again.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I want to develop Caoyun, and I should settle in a place where the waterway is developed," Yunchen was saying, a place name suddenly popped up in his heart, and he couldn't help asking, "Yanguo Qingcheng, is it your Tang Muyi?" ”
"Well, yes, but now it's not called Qingcheng, it's called 'Yanlan City'." Slightly thick words corrected.
Yunchen smiled: "Fangzhou has staggered rivers, developed waterways, and Yanlan City is the capital, so it should be good." Why don't I settle there, at least I can make sure that your Tang Muyi is richer than anywhere else, and you receive more taxes than everyone else. ”
Fangzhou is Nie Xingji's former fiefdom. This sentence was almost blurted out by Wei Nong, but she was not drunk yet, so she endured it after all. Everything that has happened over the years, who is right and who is wrong, and who can tell the difference?
She didn't have the strength to hate anymore, and it didn't mean anything to hate.
So she nodded slightly towards Yunchen: "This is the best, I must ask for Yanlan City to be given to me as a dowry." ”
"It was originally your Tang Muyi, and it is natural to marry you. I'm afraid there is only one Yanlan City, and King Ning can't look down on it. Yunchen smiled back.
Wei Nong also laughed, but her heart was filled with sadness: "Will you come to my wedding?" ”
"No, it won't." Yunchen refused without thinking, but without a superfluous explanation, his voice stopped abruptly.
Wei Nong didn't know whether he was happy or relieved, and was thinking about what to say, but when he saw Yunchen's footsteps, he suddenly stopped and said to her: "Wei Nong, you set the wedding date later, at least a year later." ”
Wei Nong was stunned for a moment, and shook his head helplessly: "This is not something I can say." ”
"Don't mention it to King Ning, you mention it to the eldest princess and Nie Xingyi, let them go and negotiate with King Ning." Yunchen confessed to her.
"Why do you have to set it late? Isn't it true that the sooner it is settled, the more conducive it will be to the stability of the new DPRK? Wei Nong was puzzled.
"I have my own reasons," Yunchen replied ambiguously, "it's for your own good, you just have to remember that." ”
Wei Nong wanted to ask, but seeing that Yunchen didn't want to say much, he had to nod: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”
Yunchen took another step, Wei Nong only felt that there were still words to ask him, and this road was almost coming to an end. Maybe it was because of the feeling of parting imminently, and she also ignored it a little, and asked again through the wine: "Will you marry again in the future?" ”。
"Yes," he said extremely frankly and casually, "I am the only one left in the Chu royal family, and even if I change my surname, I can't cut off the incense." ”
is a very straightforward reason, and very honest, nodding slightly: "If you marry a wife, remember to give me the next post, and I will prepare a generous gift." ”
"Okay." Yunchen agreed, but he didn't seem to smile.
Neither of them suddenly knew what to say again, and they were both gloomy. Life is like a play, although the love and hatred of the past have been erased, but the roles are reversed, and they still can't immediately jump out of the past to adapt to each other's new relationship.
Seeing that the palace gate was in sight, both of them involuntarily slowed down, wanting to let this moment of parting come later, a little later. Because this may be the last side, she will live in the deep palace forever in the future, and he will live at the end of the world, and from then on across the height of the temple and the distance of the rivers and lakes, goodbye is indefinite!
The night breeze mixed with the fragrance of cinnamon in the distance wafted intoxicatingly, and I felt that my wine was not only not awakened, but slowly surged, becoming more and more intense. She was a little drunk, a little drunk, and she felt that she had experienced this situation in front of her. It seems that a long time ago, this person was also beside him, also dressed in white, and he also experienced this picture with her on a breezy night.
The night was dappled and the moon was shadowy, and they walked together on the quiet palace road, with his hands behind him, and her hands in her sleeves, even the movements were exactly the same as then.
It's just that, thirteen years ago and thirteen years later, the road under their feet has led to two completely different directions.
Yunchen didn't speak again, and seemed to be stuck in a memory. Wei Nong didn't know if he thought the same as her, so he mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you feel familiar with this scene now?" ”
Yunchen didn't answer, his expression under the moonlight seemed to have a faint abruptness and loneliness, it was a look that he rarely revealed, he just said softly: "The palace gate is in front, you go back." ”
"Okay." Slightly thickened his head: "I see you go out." ”
Yunchen said "um", just looked at her deeply, as if he was extremely nostalgic and extremely sad, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his mind forever, as if he wanted to see her for ten thousand years.
In the end, he smiled slightly, just as she had in her impression, with a beautiful and outstanding temperament, and confided in her four words, simple and full of thousands of deep meanings: "Take care, slightly thick." ”
"So are you." She smiled back.
(Don't doubt it, 22 o'clock is the finale, everyone will come to see the text at half past 22!) All the suspense is in these last 6,000 words. )
