Autumn is getting stronger in the city of Jingzhou, and the scenery is still infinite on the green lake outside the city. The gilded and colorful gorgeous cloud boat slowed down slowly, and was ordered by Nie Peixiao to prepare to turn around and return home. The scenery of the place where the boat traveled was wonderful, the jungle on both sides of the river, I don't know what kind of tree species can remain verdant in this season, and the winding ups and downs reflect the blue and clear surface of the lake.

The name of Green Lake is not false. If it weren't for Nie Peixiao's insistent confession, Izumi would actually be willing to stay here for a while, take a look at this beautiful scenery, and enjoy this scenery again.

There was a moment of silence before Nie Peixiao proposed to play a song. His slender fingers rise and fall, the sound of the flute and the breeze of the lake sound softly, the timbre is low and lingering, and the sound lingers and sighs, which is a courtship song "Guan Ju" that has been handed down since ancient times:

"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman.

Jagged wattles, left and right flowing. My Fair Lady, I covet it.

I can't ask for it, but I can't think about it. Leisurely, tossing and turning.

Jagged wattles, picked left and right. My Fair Lady, Friends of the Piano.

Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums. ”

I have to say that Nie Peixiao is very good at choosing tunes. This "Guan Ju" is not only popular, but also happens to be about the situation of men pursuing women, and the poem also mentions "Qin Se Youzhi" and "Zhong Drum Music", just like what he is doing, blowing a flute song.

Each other is a person who is well versed in music theory, how can I not know what it means? Hearing half of it quietly, it happened that the hull of the boat turned around sharply, and he stood unsteadily at the feet of Xiu, and almost fell into Nie Peixiao's arms. The latter hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

The slightly cool soft wattle of Chuxiu was attached to Nie Peixiao's warm palm, and her face burned in an instant. She smelled the scent of ambergris on his body, immediately took two steps back to separate the distance, supported the carved railing with both hands, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, thank you, Your Highness." ”

This small episode interrupted Nie Peixiao's flute, and he had no intention of playing, and asked the guards about the situation, and learned that Fang had just almost hit a reef, and the boatman would urgently turn around.

From then on, the two of them were silent again, and finally, Izuku simply left the bow of the ship and walked around under the escort of Bamboo Shadow, which avoided this embarrassment.

The time is not short, it is not long, the ship is not big, and it is not small. Chuxiu deliberately avoided Nie Peixiao, and actually returned to the voyage and never saw him again. Seeing that the white jade arch bridge on the Green Lake reappeared, Jingzhou City was also faintly imminent, and only then did he turn back to the bow of the boat, not wanting Nie Peixiao to still be here and look away from the wind.

"There are a lot of affairs in our house, and the concubine will return tomorrow, so I will say goodbye to His Highness first." Out of Xiu's timbre is slow, without half of the emotion.

The song "Guan Ju" played by Nie Peixiao was ignored, and she was left to dry for a while, and she didn't come back until the boat was supposed to stop. finally waited for her to take the initiative to say something, but it was still a word of farewell. Even if Nie Peixiao's temper is good, he can't restrain himself at the moment, not to mention that he has been a noble man since he was a child, where does anyone dare to disobey him so much, and ignore him.

Nie Peixiao's face was forbearant and restrained, as if she was hurt and angry, her chest rose and fell for a long time, and she finally couldn't help but ask Chuxiu: "Why don't you want to?" Is it really because of the Yun family's identity as the head of the house? Or do you have someone in your heart? Only these two reasons can make a woman so determined to fall in love.

Hearing this, Izumi lowered her eyes and smiled, pretending not to see the pain of the person in front of her, and replied: "The first husband is in the body and mind of the concubine, and there is no substitute. ”

"Irreplaceable? Why? Nie Peixiao was even more puzzled: "Just because of the surprise of the letter marquis, it is unparalleled in the world?" Or is it because he brought you back to Yanlan City and taught you to read and write? But what did he do to you? Don't think I don't know, you look like Xia Yanran. You slipped for him and kept the Yun family alone...... Haven't you figured it out after all these years? If he hadn't died, you would never have become a Lady of Lixin! He's just a tool for your succession! ”

"Shut up!" Tears welled up in Xiu's eyes, and the lake breeze was ruthless, and this time it couldn't blow away the wetness in her eyes. Outsiders don't know what Yun Ci has done for her, and she never needs to explain when she asks herself, but when she hears that Nie Peixiao is so contemptuous and slanderous of Yun Ci, she can't be indifferent.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the king of the county, if it weren't for the fact that there were many people on Yunzhou, if it weren't for the fact that she still had the last trace of reason, she would have waved her hand up and slapped Nie Peixiao! Out of Xiu's eyes were blurred by tears, and her heart was full of anger and self-blame: "The deceased is gone, and the concubine will never allow anyone to slander her former husband." Please leave some virtue in your Highness! ”

When the words fell, Yunzhou had slowly landed, and Izu's body leaned forward by inertia, and he also felt a burst of discomfort in his chest, and the pain was unbearable.

Nie Peixiao saw that her face suddenly changed, and her heart was anxious: "It's me who lost my words, what's wrong with you?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help her.

Out of Xiu dodged back, avoiding the hand handed over by Nie Peixiao, and his face was indifferent. She raised her hand to caress her heart, closed her eyes vigorously, and when she opened them again, her eyes were already clear, and there were no more tears: "A merry person like His Royal Highness will never understand what his ancestor has done, never!" ”

The last two words, Izumi said it resolutely and angrily, flicked her sleeves and walked to the shore, but Nie Peixiao grabbed her sleeve and pulled her into her arms in public.

"Am I a merry man? If I am romantic, why should I not forget to humble your prayers and let you trample on this! He was so angry that his arms trembled, he hugged the beautiful woman to death, and his eyes were even more stormy, and he bowed his head and asked.

"Your Highness is self-respecting!" Without waiting for Xiu to struggle, Zhuying had already stepped forward and shouted in a deep voice, almost wanting to make a move.

Nie Peixiao's mind was relieved, and Chuxiu had already broken free from his embrace, panting and sighing with shame and anger, and her heart was depressed and depressed.

Nie Peixiao is not romantic? He's the most amorous! If you are not romantic, why do you linger in the Qinglou at the age of sixteen or seventeen? If you are not romantic, why do you go to Yanlan City and take your concubine with you? If she is not romantic, why do you repeatedly do things to her, words and deeds?

A year ago, the concubine's appearance became extremely clear at this moment, and Izuku smiled coldly and blurted out Nie Peixiao: "You are a supporter of the separation of spirit and flesh, but I am not. I'm sorry. ”

The dark incense floats, surging with alienation and indifference. When Nie Peixiao came back to his senses, the Yiren had gone, leaving his back in vain.

Separation of Soul and Flesh...... These four words are like a sharp blade, slashing at Nie Peixiao's heart. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or hurt, he just felt that even the jade flute in his hand was laughing at his self-inflicted amorousness!

In Izuxiu's heart, he is not as good as a cripple! A dead man! This realization made him unbearable anymore, his arm seemed to be controlled by others, and with a "plop" he threw the jade flute in his hand into the green lake.

The next moment, he came to his senses, and what he threw out was the flute that Chuxiu gave him! A punch slammed into the carved railing of the cloud boat, Nie Peixiao looked at the slender figure on the shore that was gradually moving away, and was very annoyed.

"Your Highness!" Feng Fei saw that the joints of Nie Peixiao's left hand were covered with blood, and hurriedly said, "Please calm your anger and pass on the imperial doctor first." ”

Nie Peixiao lowered her eyes and looked at the back of her hand, but what she saw was not the bloody wound, but the shallow scar that had been bitten by Chuxiu. It was his hand that was bitten, but it left a deep rut mark on his heart.

Nie Peixiao's hands clenched into fists, allowing the blood stains on his hands to drip on the purple robe jade belt, turning into a thick shadow, no matter what, no question.

"Your Highness, your hand ......" Feng Fei couldn't help but remind again.

Nie Peixiao still didn't hear it, he looked straight at the Xiu on the shore, and saw that she didn't look back and got on the chariot, he suddenly came back to his senses and said to Feng Fei: "Jump into the green lake!" I can't get out of this king's jade flute today, and they are all soaked here! ”

With that, he strode up to the embankment, and the attendants on the side had already led their horses to greet each other. Nie Peixiao took the reins and turned over on the horse, galloping all the way along the carriage of the dexiu.

At this time, Chuxiu only felt uncomfortable in her heart, and when she thought of Nie Peixiao's slander of Yunci, she felt unbearable. Sitting in the carriage and no one around, she finally dared to cry unscrupulously, how long has it been since she cried, last time it was for Shen Yu.

Bamboo Shadow rode outside the chariot and heard the crying inside the chariot. His eyes sank, and he felt that it was not easy to stay alone, and suddenly a thought came to him, knowing that he shouldn't say it, but he still said to the woman in the car: "Madam, if the master is alive, he will definitely not want to see you widow for him." ”

The crying in the car was not low but high, and it also involved Zhuying's emotion: "When the master was dying, I always guarded it. At that time, he had already explained, let the little marquis take you away......"

At this point, Takekage didn't know how to continue. This is not what it used to be, with today's situation, Shen Yu is afraid that he will not be able to take Xiu out. Let's not mention how Nie Peixiao is infatuated, it is the identity of the two now, and there is an eldest lady Yun Xiangrong in the middle......

Sister-in-law and sister-in-law have selfishness, do they want to ignore the Yun family's foundation and the gossip of the world? Zhuying was dumbfounded, not knowing how to persuade again. However, at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves gradually sounded behind him.

The bamboo shadow looked back, but saw Nie Peixiao riding on a horse in purple clothes, galloping upright. Although they were far away, Takekage could already feel the murderous aura in him, or rather, eagerness.

"Madam, King Chengjun is chasing after you." Takekage said worriedly towards the car.

Out of Xiu changed to a faint sob, and only two words came out of the carriage: "Block." ”

Before long, Nie Peixiao's mount caught up, he reined in his horse and walked slowly, looking into the carriage, his face sinking like water without saying a word.

Zhuying got the order of Izuxiu, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "What else does Your Highness command?" My wife was seasick and unwell, so it was inconvenient to see guests. ”

Nie Peixiao naturally knew that this was a pretext, but she didn't do much reluctance, and asked the concubine in the carriage: "Do you believe me if I dismiss the concubines in the house?" ”

In the car, Xiu lowered her eyes and stopped crying, but did not reply.

Nie Peixiao stared at the curtain on the side of the carriage, and then said: "I am not a supporter of the separation of soul and body, I used to be a person who did not find a spiritual fit...... And Lin Shan, it's not what you think...... In short, I will dismiss the concubines in Fuchu. ”

Seeing that there was still no movement in the car, Nie Peixiao stared at the bamboo shadow and sighed: "Good life to take care of your wife." After finishing speaking, he rode away from the dust.
