Not a proponent of the separation of soul and body? How did this come so suddenly? Izumi obviously didn't react, and looked at Nie Peixiao in confusion: "Huh? ”

It's only been more than half a year, and it turns out that she has forgotten...... Nie Peixiao's heart swelled with a sense of incomprehension, both glad that she had forgotten and distressed by her neglect of herself, so she lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, explaining, "I want to say...... I have scattered all the concubines in the house. ”

Only then did Izuku understand: "Why are you ......?"

"You still don't believe me." Nie Peixiao had a look of disappointment on her face.

"No, I do." A smile poured out from the bottom of her eyes: "I believe and appreciate your kindness." ”

"You finally believed......" Nie Peixiao sighed as if relieved. Knowing that some people and some things should not be mentioned, he still pierced: "Although Zifeng is very good...... But I'm not going to give up, I'm pretty sure I want to. ”

"I'm pretty sure of mine, too." Out of Xiu seems to have a deep meaning, such as a reply.

Nie Peixiao didn't understand the meaning of this for a while, thinking that she had annoyed her again by mentioning Shen Yu, so she cautiously asked, "Madam is angry?" ”

"How could it be?" Izuku smiled in return: "In the past, I was too presumptuous, thanks to your love...... But if there is, listen to it and it will pass. ”

Nie Peixiao obviously didn't expect that Chuxiu's attitude was much gentler, and she was not more resistant to herself than before, so she smiled and said: "After being sick, Madame's temperament has softened. ”

"Yes! After a serious illness, I also realized that there was nothing to care about in this world except life and death. Out of Xiu looked at the spring everywhere and sighed deeply. Her current state of mind is like the sudden redemption of a heinous sinner, and the feeling of regaining her conscience after annihilation almost makes her escape into the empty door and become a Buddha.

She couldn't tell if she was freed or more imprisoned. In short, what should have been attached to and what should not have been attached to in the past have all dissipated with this serious illness. Now in her eyes, there is nothing important other than life and death.

"It's not too early, it's time to go back." Izuku brought it up at the right time.

"So fast!" Nie Peixiao blurted out, and remembered that Chuxiu's body had just healed, and it was not suitable to blow the wind, so she had to compromise: "Okay." ”

Izuku took the opportunity to look at the three big characters "Yanlan City" on the city gate not far away, and suddenly said: "Your Highness will walk in with me." ”

"Okay." Nie Peixiao didn't think much about it, and accompanied Chuxiu all the way into the city. His guard Feng Fei, Zhu Ying, and the horses and chariots of the two families all followed slowly. Walking silently like this, Nie Peixiao suddenly felt comfortable, as if even the spring breeze on her face was refreshing and pleasant.

A purple and gold brocade robe, handsome and noble, a white-clothed Shengxue, stunning city, the two walking side by side is the most eye-catching scenery, which forces the spring color of March to be a little bleak. The passers-by who entered and exited the city gate were distracted, and they were curious not to know which family they met, they were really like fairy couples.

Both of them paid no attention to the attention of others, and walked silently into the city gate. Nie Peixiao faintly felt that there was no end to this road, and it was better to walk side by side with Izumi all the time.

However, as he walked, his face suddenly sank, and he suddenly realized that Xiu invited him to go with him. The sun in the twilight of spring is extraordinarily brilliant, shining on the four white marble arches standing in front of the city gate, the flashing luster is crystal clear, like the white snow muscles out of Xiu, but also stinging his eyes.

Out of Xiu but did not turn a blind eye to everything around him, only the lotus step moved slowly forward, without squinting through the four arches belonging to the Yun family, one by one, step by step, as if there was some belief in the bottom of the heart more firm.

After walking a long way like this, seeing that the former Muwang Mansion and the current Chengwang Mansion were about to be located, Chuxiu stopped and smiled: "Unknowingly, I will send you to the door." ”

Nie Peixiao remembered Fang Chuxiu's explicit hint, and didn't want her to get her wish, so she pretended not to understand, and asked with a smile: "Madame hasn't been here for a long time, what's wrong?" In the past, it was Mu Wangfu, but now it has become Cheng Wangfu, and it can't come? Don't go in and sit? He knows that he is a little shameless, but he also knows that there is a saying called "shame and courage".

When these words came out, Izuku asked without a beginning or an end: "Is there a piano in His Highness's house?" ”

Nie Peixiao was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, and there are a few good pianos in my collection." ”

Out of Xiuwaner: "It just so happens that I also have itchy hands, I wonder if there is a blessing to touch the good piano in your house?" ”

Nie Peixiao was overjoyed by these words, and in an instant forgot about Fang Xianxiu's refusal, and hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it!" ”

Out of Xiu didn't say anything more, and followed Nie Peixiao into King Cheng's mansion. This mansion is roughly the same as when King Mu lived in the past, and the layout has hardly changed, only there are more flowers and plants than before, and it looks a little more angry.

Nie Peixiao instructed the housekeeper to open the small storeroom, which was full of antiques and curiosities he had collected over the years, including a few good pianos. Out of Xiu carefully selected the next handful, carefully held it in his arms and walked out of the small warehouse, jokingly: "You have so many good things here, I am dazzled by it, and I am reluctant to come out." ”

"Madame can come here at any time, and you don't need to be polite if you like anything." Nie Peixiao glanced at the small treasury and sighed bluntly: "Don't say it's the warehouse, I also lack a hostess in this house." ”

There was no trace of waves in Xiu's calm gaze, and she answered the question: "In the past, you invited me to play a song with the piano and flute ensemble, but I refused at that time, and now if you want to atone for your previous sins, I don't know if it's too late?" ”

"It's not too late!" Nie Peixiao replied, only to feel that Chuxiu was extremely strange today, and wanted to refuse to welcome her, if she was about to leave. In the past, she refused to be thousands of miles away, and her words and deeds would never leave him a trace of thought; Now that I am seriously ill, my attitude is much better, but it is faintly strange.

But in any case, it is a long-standing thought for him to be able to play a song with Izumi in an upright ensemble, and he is also confident that he can convey affection through music and let her understand their compatibility.

Nie Peixiao took out the jade flute he carried with him, remembering the situation of salvaging this thing from Cuihu, when this jade flute was soaked in the lake water for a long time, he couldn't blow a tune, he regretted not falling, and found a lot of experts to repair it on his behalf, only to barely restore it to the previous eighth-minute timbre. After the restoration, the sound of the flute is still whimpering and tactful, but it is not as good as before.

It's not that I don't regret it, but it was because I missed it once and threw it into the lake that I knew that this jade flute was rare and couldn't put it down. Just like he did to Han Chu, because of the previous concession, he only knew fate after the reunion.

Nie Peixiao held the jade flute and put it to her lips, signaling Chuxiu to start the tone. The latter understood, put the piano on the table and played with it a few times, and tried the tune before playing it with his hands.

The melody is melodious and melodious, elegant like a quiet orchid, and the melody is noble. After only listening to a few notes, Nie Peixiao caught up with the tune, and the sound of the flute coincided with the sound of the piano. Gradually, but listening to the melodious music rises and falls, lingering endlessly with the breeze of late spring. It seems that there are no foreign objects in all directions, and there is only one piano and one flute left in this world, as well as two people playing the piano and blowing the flute.

When the song ended, Nie Peixiao was still immersed in this seamless cooperation, only to feel that she was still unfinished, and her body and mind were washed, making her whole body clean and comfortable, and abandoning all red dust and distractions.

Wait, get rid of all the red dust and distractions? Nie Peixiao was shocked by the idea he suddenly had, but the moment he finished the song, he really left all the seven emotions and six desires out of his heart! Even the beloved woman is forgotten for the time being.

Can a piano song make him feel this way? And that's not his original intention to play with the Izuku Qin Xiao ensemble! He hoped that they would get closer and closer through the rhythm, not farther and farther!

Nie Peixiao looked down at the Xiu who was still sitting on the stone case, and the stunning woman in white clothes reflected a dazzling luster, which seemed to be real and illusory. He saw a meaningful smile on her face, and that smile meant......

"In the Sutra of Amitayus, it is said, 'In the world, in love, only life and death, alone to come and go, should be the most interesting, the place of bitterness and happiness, the body deserves it, there is no generation'." Out of Xiu Yingying stroked every string, and smiled at Nie Peixiao: "I don't know if Your Highness has nothing to do to study Buddhist scriptures, but I think this is extremely reasonable." If you know the way to liberation, why bother with things that don't come to fruition? ”

The other party's words have come to this, and Nie Peixiao can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. Fang just walked through the chastity archway side by side, and now he plays this Buddhist song, saying that this scripture is a rejection! Nie Peixiao couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: This trick is much more clever than before, it seems to be gentle and tender, but it is to overcome rigidity with softness, which makes him speechless.

"His Royal Highness's Xiao Sheng is really the pinnacle, at least the first person I have ever heard. You value my accomplishments in the sound of the piano, and I also cherish the tacit understanding of each other's rhythm. So why destroy it? Out of Xiu got up from the front of the case and sighed faintly: "Once everything is stained with the word 'love', it will change its taste." Just like between me and my late husband, if we hadn't been emotional, maybe he wouldn't have died......"

"You're completely rejecting me." Nie Peixiao's heart was bitter, and she didn't want to lose her demeanor: "I'd rather you be angry and scold me, it's better than taking me to see the archway of chastity and talking to me about Buddhist scriptures." ”

Out of Xiu smiled lightly, her voice was tactful and pleasant, but the words she said were tantamount to sentencing Nie Peixiao to death: "If you look up to me, you are willing to talk to me about music and rhythm, and I am very happy to talk about my heart." As for the side things...... On the contrary, it is a kind of damage to the love of bosom friends. ”

"A kind of hurt......" Nie Peixiao muttered, she couldn't tell whether it was sour or painful in her heart, but there was a strange tranquility, which should have been influenced by Fang Cai's song.

He knew that the meaning of Izumi's words could not be more obvious: they could be bosom friends, but if they wanted to take a step forward, they were afraid that they would not even have to be bosom friends.

Thinking of this, Nie Peixiao couldn't hide the frustration on her face, she looked away and didn't know where to look, her body was full of glory and luxury, and she was only lonely and lonely.

After a serious illness, he understood Nie Peixiao's temper of "the more frustrated he became", and he felt his deep friendship, so he came up with this euphemistic way to refuse. Now it seems that it is effective, at least much more effective than his own harsh words.

She knew that Nie Peixiao needed time to calm down, so she smiled and said, "It's not too early, I'll go back to the house first, and Your Highness will stay." ”

Chuxiu said that she had already bowed and said goodbye, and was about to turn around, but she heard Nie Peixiao's voice sounding in a deep voice, and asked, "What about Shen Yu?" ”

After a pause, a lonely look flashed in his feet, only for a moment, as fast as if he had never appeared: "He is only my sister-in-law now." ”

Nie Peixiao was dumbfounded in the frank retrospective gaze of Izumi. He wanted to question, want to refute, or he believed it, but the words stuck in his throat had not yet come out, but he saw Feng Fei hurriedly barging in, and said, "Your Highness, Jiang Di sent General Shen's report." ”
