Chapter 171: The Old Man Meets
"You're Miss Cheng, aren't you?" Su Xin looked down at me with a smile on her face, I never knew that this would be the first thing Su Xin said to me after many years.
"Yes." I stood up leisurely, my tone was gentle, and my expression was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.
"Miss Cheng, can we invite you to take a step?" Su Xin's eyebrows were crooked, and through the light of her eyes, I seemed to realize something, so I nodded without thinking, "Please also ask Mrs. Yun to lead the way." ”
"Miss Cheng, please." After Su Xin made a gesture of please, Xue Ke and Du Xinruo couldn't help but speak at the same time.
"Pouring snow."
"Sister Cheng."
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon?" After the corners of my lips pulled out a faint arc, I walked out of my seat, and with the footsteps of Su Xin and Ziluo, I left everyone's sight.
Time flies, it is the spring of the year in a blink of an eye, and the peach blossoms in Shanglin Garden are not as prosperous as the peach orchard, but along the way, a few peach blossoms scattered here and there, there is a looming hazy beauty.
Along the way, I walked side by side with Su Xin and Ziluo, they were silent, and I didn't know what to say for a while?
Walking aimlessly, for a long time, finally, I took a quick step in front of them, stared at the two of them with blazing eyes, and said in a light and gentle tone: "Su Xin, Ziluo, long time no see?" ”
Su Xin, when Zi Luo heard my greeting, his originally depressed and dull face instantly bloomed like a stamen.
"Niangniang, Su Xin still thinks that when you come back this time, you don't want to recognize us?" Su Xin's eyes were filled with a faint tear.
"This dead girl, if she doesn't recognize the two of us again, I'm going to take her to a place where no one is around, beat her hard, look at her, when the time comes, will she still have a long memory?" Violet glanced at me, her tone was fierce, but there was an indescribable joy in her crystal eyes.
"Suxin, Ziluo, excuse me?" I bowed solemnly to them, and my tone gradually became slow, but I said with ease:
"Three years ago, I shouldn't have said goodbye, but I don't regret it, because, if I hadn't left three years ago, I would never have recovered my memory, and if I hadn't been able to recover my memory, I would never have been able to see my heart clearly?"
"Recover your memory." Su Xin's eyes widened, she looked at me very confused, and said, "Niangniang, you mean to say that you, who have recovered your memory, have always found that your love has always been Your Majesty, so when you come back this time, you will never leave, right?" ”
Uh-
I have to admit that Su Xin's imagination is very rich, but I also have to admire her, what she said is exactly what I think.
"That's right." I nodded heavily, and said with a torch-like gaze: "Don't go again?" If he dares to dislike me, I will stick to him like a dog's skin plaster until he is willing to accept me. ”
"Well done." Violet stood aside, facing me, giving me a thumbs up, and his bright face was emitting a thick scorching light.
"But ——?" Thinking of Dongfang Yu, he deliberately avoided me, and my heart suddenly became desolate.
"But what?" Ziluo looked at me with puzzled eyes, and in the light of Su Xin's eyes, he was thoughtful, but after all, he still looked at me silently, waiting for my next step.
"I don't know if it's because I care too much and become sharp, or if it's really as I think, in short, I always feel that Dongfang is deliberately avoiding me."
I pursed my lips, paused, sighed, and continued: "Whenever I fall asleep in the dead of night, I always feel a faint cold fragrance, lingering on the tip of my nose, I think he has been here, but I don't understand, why? Why is that? ”
In my eyes, a faint desolation gradually emerged, yes, now, my heart, like the frost and snow in winter, cold to the bone.
I longed for the warm sun of spring, but that warmth was looming, and when it gave me a glimmer of hope, it was inadvertently and ruthlessly extinguished.
Su Xin stretched out her hand and patted me on the shoulder, the corners of her eyes showed a touch of firmness, and she said softly: "Niangniang, Su Xin believes in your feelings, but Su Xin believes even more, Your Majesty's love for you, if Niangniang's feelings are not wrong, then, Your Majesty must have a bitterness that you can't say, and this hardship requires Niangniang to peep with her heart, just like before, Your Majesty was so careful, tolerant, and so careful with Niangniang." ”
"Xiaoyu, do you see this peach blossom in front of you?" After Zi Luo finished speaking, she called me, and I followed her line of sight, and my eyes fell on the peach tree that was blooming.
When Zi Luo saw my eyes, she fell thoughtfully on the peach tree, she blinked, and said in a light and clever tone: "The reason why the peach blossoms are bright is because of the early stage, continuous cultivation, because of cultivation, because of brightness, so there are fruitful fruits in the future." ”
"Thank you, I understand, the twists and turns of love are even more so, now I, the most important thing is to let go of the scruples in my heart and follow my heart indomitable."
Looking at the peach tree, turning my head, my eyes turned around on Su Xin and Ziluo's faces, and my tone was full of relief: "Once, it was he who was guarding me regardless of the return, but now, what about me?" ”
Dongfang Yu, once upon a time, I will no longer have the slightest doubt about your heart, I believe in you, more than I believe in myself.
"Okay, seeing that the mother is relieved, Su Xin will be relieved?" Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his eyes were crooked, like a crescent moon.
"Su Xin, Zi Luo, with a good sister like you, if I can't let go, then, I can only say that I deserve it?" I pursed my lips with a smile on my face.
"Okay, it's not too early, it's time for us to go back to the Hundred Flowers Banquet?" Zi Luo looked at me and Su Xin, happily seemed to have forgotten the important Hundred Flowers Banquet, and couldn't help but remind.
"Okay, shall we go back?"
When the three of us came back again, the aristocratic sons of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the famous ladies, and the noblewomen with children had already sat down.
At this moment, it is no longer the same as before.
I think, those concubines with status in the harem should appear one after another, right?
"Sister Cheng, are you back?" When Du Xinruo saw me coming back, she stood up from a distance, and Xue Ke, although she didn't speak, her eager gaze made me feel warm and comfortable.
"Hmm." I nodded slightly, then pulled Du Xinruo and sat down together.
"Concubine Xiao is about to enter the table." Du Xinruo leaned sideways and whispered close to my ear: "Later, the famous ladies with status and status will go up to show their talents." ”
"Oh." I pursed my lips and answered, and suddenly remembered Tuoba Zi, according to the past practice, if there is any banquet in the palace, it should be presided over by the highest-ranking concubine.
And, in my impression, in addition to me, there is also the dead Wei Rongyi, and now, in the harem, the highest grade should be Tuoba Zi, right?
"Xinruo, do you know how Mrs. Tuoba of the Phi Xiang Hall is doing now?" For this woman, I am sympathetic to this woman, as a princess, she is just a political victim.
Of course, the most important thing is that since I entered the palace, although she has not been close to me, she has not done anything to hurt me.
"Mrs. Tuoba, how come I haven't heard of it." Du Xinruo glanced at me suspiciously.
At this time, Xue Ke's gaze fell on my face, and he said in a light tone: "I heard that Tuoba Xiu of Beirong Kingdom, after taking poison and dying, Mrs. Tuoba as his younger sister, asked His Majesty for the decree that he would live in the Phixiang Hall for the rest of his life, eat fasting and recite Buddha, and atone for his brother's sins." ”
"I see." I nodded knowingly, it seems that this Tuoba Zi is really much wiser than Tuoba Xiu, knows current affairs, and knows how to advance and retreat.
It's a pity that it's just a daughter.
Otherwise, Beirong State would have her, and it would not have ended up today.
Of course, where Dongfang Yu exists, she may only choose the survival rules that suit them in the end, just like Nanzhaoguo.
"Concubine Xiao is here, Concubine Yang is here, Zhuo Zhaoyi is here." My leisurely reverie came to my senses at the sound of the eunuch's sharp shout.
Raising his eyes, he saw the three peerless beauties, silk and satin, Jin Que swaying, walking in steps, each of them has its own unique temperament.
"Ladies, sons, and young ladies, it is a great honor to be able to come to the palace to hold a hundred flowers banquet as scheduled." After Concubine Xiao sat down in her main seat, she slightly outlined the corners of her lips, and her tone was polite but very majestic.
"Being invited by the mother is a blessing for the concubines." A representative lady stood up calmly and replied to Concubine Xiao with a smile, her tone respectful but dignified.
That lady, I know, she is the wife of the Imperial Doctor, Zheng Li.
I knew her, of course, because of her poor son.
I have heard her story before, and I have deep sympathy for what happened to her, but I have to deeply admire her perseverance as a woman.
Such a good woman should have had a happy marriage, but unfortunately, one wrong step, one wrong step.
"Mrs. Liu, you're welcome, please take a seat." Concubine Xiao waved her hand and spoke softly.
The reason why Concubine Xiao is respectful to her is naturally not in the face of her husband's Liu Chengde, the Zheng Mansion is a century-old family in the Eastern Qin Kingdom, and now, although it does not have the honor of the year, its heritage is still there.
Just by virtue of this heritage, it is enough for the Zheng family's status to last for a hundred years.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that no matter how much Liu Chengde dotes on his concubines, he does not dare to really make a move to divorce his wife.
At the beginning, the interest of me, Xue Ke, and Du Xinruo was still quite high, but after watching it for a long time, I didn't feel tired from it.
Because, I have to say, their performances are all similar,
It's nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Today, although I have prepared a dance, Dongfang Yu has not bubbled up until now, so if he is not there, my dance will not have the slightest meaning of existence.
