CHAPTER XXXIV

He put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "It's been so many years, I like the word, it's the first time I've heard someone say something like this." ”

Li Bin lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he still had that gentle and noble look, but the words he said had a hint of ridicule.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a person who has lived to this age, but I never know what to like. Since I was a child, although my mother was indifferent to me, she always installed her henchmen by my side, saying that she was taking care of me, but she monitored me and restrained me in an almost extreme way. Perhaps, as you said, I have always had an inexplicable good impression of Su Rong. But I know that neither the person I like nor the things I care about have ever really belonged to me. ”

Mo Shuoyue listened, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, and she was speechless for a while, and glanced at Li Yunmin silently.

And he seemed to feel a little surprised, and said, "It's the first time in so many years that I've heard my brother say these things. ”

Li Bin leaned back on the soft pillow, glanced at him, then turned his head to look out the window, and said in a calm and indifferent voice: "After all, you and I are nearly ten years apart, and after you remember, I have gradually gotten rid of the surveillance of the queen mother." And, we are all born different. You have been extremely loved by your father and Concubine Rong Shu since you were a child, and there are many things that you have never experienced and cannot empathize. Besides, you are a younger brother after all, and I don't want you to share this kind of sorrow that does not belong to you. ”

Born different, one just doesn't want to compete for the throne, while the other, because of physical defects, doesn't even have such qualifications.

The same father, the same people who were both born at the top of the prosperity, but because of different mothers, the life trajectory is not the same.

Li Yunmin may have been born as the pride of his parents, and Li Bin, a woman like Empress Xiao, who has been strong and proud all her life, is afraid that she will regard him as a shameful existence.

"But the prince also has his own way of protesting injustice, doesn't he?" Mo Shuoyue said.

Li Bin looked back at her, there was a touch of imperceptible surprise in his eyes, and his voice also had a hint of appreciation that he hadn't found himself: "You are the first to feel that in addition to Mu Zhi, my unwillingness is not to seek trouble." ”

The corners of his lips finally had a real smile, and he said: "I remember when I was a child, the queen mother forced me to cultivate in order to make me pure-hearted. At that time, I was just a ten-year-old child, where to live. At that time, Mu Zhi was only three years old, right? Seeing Aunt Jinxi's painstaking admonition to me to meditate, I kept asking her, would my aunt be willing to accompany the ancient Buddha for the rest of her life? My aunt can't do it, so why force the eldest brother to do what he doesn't want to do? ”

Li Bin said, laughing unconsciously, "Seriously, when I watched Jinxi being dumbfounded, I felt extremely happy for the first time in my heart. It was then that I realized that I could say no. ”

"I didn't expect that Prince Gongjing was such a foolish child when he was a child, and he didn't give up until he reached his goal, and he really couldn't imagine seeing him look like gold now." Mo Shuoyue smiled lightly and teased.

"After all, I was only a three- or four-year-old kid at that time, and it was inevitable that I would be able to talk."

Li Yunmin, who had been silent on the side, adding tea to everyone, finally spoke up slowly, and his words were reasonable, but Mo Shuoyue clearly saw a touch of crimson behind his ears, which was the color of today's glow dyeing the sky.

Mo Shuoyue looked sideways, and she couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

Li Yunmin sipped the tea and said: "Brother Huang didn't say that the new confidante in your house is also from Lishui County, Mingyue Dangui, if there is another piano, it will be ten percent poetic." ”

"Mu Zhi is right." Li Bin smiled and nodded, and immediately ordered someone to invite Chun Dan.

Li Bin said again: "It just so happens that dinner has been prepared, why don't we just eat and listen to the piano in this courtyard." ”

Today, it is rare that Li Yunmin will eat with him, and sooner or later, the matter of choosing a concubine will have to be yellow, Li Bin is obviously in a good mood.

The three of them moved into the courtyard, and after a while, Chundan came over with the qin, and when he saw Mo Shuoyue when he saluted, his face suddenly showed a happy expression, and he nodded at her slightly: "Don't catch quickly." ”

"Do you really know each other?" Li Bin's voice was slightly surprised.

Mo Shuoyue nodded in return, and unconsciously moved her right hand that was shrunk in her sleeve. There was a thin piece of white cloth wrapped in a sleeve pocket.

She was slightly touched in her heart, looked at Chundan and thought, fortunately, before leaving, she brought this silver ticket with her. Otherwise, according to Chundan's temperament, knowing that he was going to enter Beijing, Bao Buqi would send her a special trip.

She and Chundan had an agreement early in the morning, if they met outside, they would just treat them as just nodding friends and calling her "don't catch fast".

She was so nervous that she forgot about it. Fortunately, Chundan was calm, and after saying hello, his fingertips crossed the surface of the piano, attracting everyone to listen to the piano.

A song of ten thousand ravines, the Guijian Spring resounds, which is forgettable. Several people were intoxicated by the lingering sound, and no one replied to Li Bin's words.

Mo Shuoyue praised: "I haven't seen her for a year, and the Chundan girl's piano skills have reached a higher level. It's just that I remember, your lute should be better, right? When you were in Lishui County, you were a well-known pipa saint. ”

Li Bin nodded in agreement and said, "This title is well deserved in Chundan. There are many pipa players in the workshop, and none of them can compare to Chundan. ”

At the end, he remembered the previous question and said: "You and Chundan didn't expect to really know each other, it seems that when you were in Lishui County, you also occupied the name of catching fast, and you took the opportunity to visit Hualou." ”

"Everyone has a love for beauty. This kind of place, with wine and fun, can be called a fairyland on earth. ”

Mo Shuoyue smiled lightly, and was also relieved in her heart, seeing that the topic was leading, she took the opportunity to climb up the pole, "It's a pity that I can only go over on business every time, there is not much time, and after so many years, it is a bad song of Chundan." Here tonight, thanks to the arrangement of the prince, I was able to fulfill the regrets of Shuoyue for many years, and I was really happy in my heart. ”

Li Bin laughed loudly, "Xiao Mo and I are really like-minded." It's like Mu Zhi, I always feel that this kind of place is boring, not only do I not go, but I also want to stop me, which is really disappointing. ”

Mo Shuoyue was surprised that she and Li Yunmin met for the first time...... It's in Hualou, is it possible, that is the first time he has gone?

Her hand tightened unconsciously, and she tried her best to use a relaxed voice to say in a relaxed voice: "I didn't expect that Prince Gongjing never set foot in Fireworks Willow Lane. ”

When Li Yunmin heard this, he just looked at Chundan and said: "The trip was in a hurry a year ago, and the girl Wen Chundan was famous, but she didn't have the opportunity to listen to a song, which is a pity." ”
