"People have different destinies, but we want to stand tall in the world..."
A fold of ink marks was broken in the middle of the way, a little muddy and stagnant, Qing Chen stopped writing, slowly picked up the paper, and kneaded it into a ball.
Before the case, she had lost a few scraps of writing, but she still couldn't calm down. She held the pen and frowned tightly. She had never been so depressed and embarrassed as she was now in her memory. Either she was dazed or impetuous. , Every time you close your eyes, there will be bursts of fluttering flute sounds in your heart, as real as it is illusory, like a shadow.
She dropped the pen with some resentment, stood up and walked to the corridor but stopped suddenly, turned around and returned to the desk, stared at the pen and ink for a while, flung her long skirt and sat on the mat without manners, and rubbed the ink vigorously with her hand.
A round carved jade belt and inkstone made a "chichi" sound as it was being ground, the ink marks were as deep as one, and the circles overflowed a cup, but her movements became slower and slower, and gradually calmed down.
Just as she let out a sigh of relief, Jin Fei's voice came from outside: "Is Qing Chen there?"
Qing Chen hurriedly brushed the skirt and changed into a correct kneeling posture, and Concubine Jin had already stepped in.
Concubine Jin is wearing a yunying light purple dress with folded breasts and a long pleated fairy skirt. Seeing the pen and ink on the case, she smiled and said, "I see you practicing calligraphy every day, and your calligraphy is getting better and better."
Qing Chen said: "I need to practice because I can't write well, and there is nothing to do left and right."
Concubine Jin said: "It seems that I am a person who has nothing to do. A few days ago, you asked me if I could help, but now I really need you to help me with something."
"What's the matter?" Qing Chen asked.
"Come with me." Concubine Jin took her hand and headed towards Xianyu Lake.
Crossing the white jade arch bridge along the lake and turning out of the shade of willows, there is a water pavilion along the shore and Yibo. It is so continuous when you look at it, every branch and every leaf are graceful, embellishing the summer sky thousands of miles away.
Stepping into the waterside pavilion, the wide corridor of fragrant wood is hung with a green gauze curtain. With the breeze, the light patterns walk among the fragrance of lotus, carrying the freshness of the lake water. The collection of books that are not easy to see outside, I don’t feel relieved to hand it over to others, if you are willing, I will entrust this place to you.”
"Is it the study in the mansion?" Qing Chen happily asked: "Can I read the books in it?"
"Of course." Concubine Jin led her across the terrace, walking softly, "I've left it to you to take care of it, so what's wrong with it, just don't mess it up, I wonder if you'd like to do these complicated things? "
"Why don't you want to," Qing Chen said, "I have things to do and books to read. I really want to thank the princess."
Concubine Jin turned her head to look at her: "Why do you still sound so unfamiliar? I am a few years older than you, if you don't mind, just call me sister, and then I will see you."
Qing Chen was silent for a while, then smiled beautifully: "Sister said so."
"That's right." Concubine Jin smiled and said, "You might as well look around here first, and then ask me if you have anything."
Qing Chen waited for Concubine Jin to leave, and walked lightly into the depths of the waterside pavilion. The long skirt was like a cloud behind her, floating in the breeze with the light green gauze curtain, and her sleepy mood just now dissipated Mostly.
Passing the Windward Corridor, the main body of the water pavilion is actually built on the shore. There are books of various colors in the previous few steps. The collection is rich and it takes a long time just to browse the bibliography. After stepping inside, it is the real study.
There are few books in the study room, but obviously people often look through them. She picked out a few to read, and found that they were "National Policies", "Congjian", "Zhiyu", "Six Secret Teachings", "Martial Arts", etc., which were not easy to understand. On the red sandalwood tiger carving wide table in the center, Duan inkstone, topaz pen, and Xuetao paper are spotlessly swept everywhere, and a copy of "Yi Shi Shu Hua" is scattered, and there are stacks of chapters next to it.
Behind the case is a black screen sprinkled with gold, and beside it are planted with purple stamen narcissus, white stone and green leaves, and light jade petals, quietly blooming with nobility and elegance. The decorations in the room are casual and elegant. Qing Chen's eyes fell on a emerald jade sculpture. She vaguely guessed that this is not the study of ordinary people. There is probably only one person in Prince Zhan's mansion who would be in such a quiet place. , read some of these books.
The interest she just mentioned suddenly lost a bit. She stood in front of the case and picked up something casually and flipped through it. When she saw it was the chapter of Ye Tianzhan Chen Zuotianwu Zuifang case, she hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help it. Want to know the case and browse down.
After reading it once, I didn’t understand it very well. I just felt that the words in this chapter are suave and suave, with a clear and gentle style, and the almost perfect match between the writing and writing trends. What is written. Seeing the last few strokes of red ink, with the words "cautious, strict handling", she thought about it silently, and looked back again. It turns out that for such a simple case, if it is small, it can only handle a Tianwu Zuifang; Judging from this playbook, it leads to various situations where the ministers of the DPRK and China take advantage of the situation to pervert the law for personal gain. The point of the finger is a deep black and corrupt quagmire, especially the collusion between officials and businessmen in the profit-making industries such as song and dance workshops, which seems to have been caught off guard. severe blow.
In addition to Wei Weiqing and Guo Qi who have heard of it, there are a series of important officials involved in it. Qing Chen even doubts whether this is Ye Tianzhan's memorabilia. The sharpness and ruthlessness of his language are far from his usual gentleness. It is hard to believe that it came from his handwriting.
However, there are more than a thousand words, but she has to carefully scrutinize them with all her heart and eight senses. She put the memorial book back to its original place, only then did she realize that after staying for so long, it was almost dusk. The light in the room gradually dimmed, she got up and lit two glass and silver lamps, tidied up the desk a little, and walked out of Yanbo to send Shuangzhai. As I walked, I thought, now that I have agreed to Concubine Jin, it is not easy to say no. It seems that Ye Tianzhan is not often in the mansion during the day. If I pay attention to the time, I should not meet them. She's attractive and she doesn't want to miss out.
As soon as she walked into the willow shade of the long embankment, a man in black suddenly came to her side and led her into the depths of the tree shadow. When she blurted out in surprise, the man pressed his fingers between his lips and took off the veil.
"Nightmare?" Qing Chen asked in amazement, "Why are you here?"
Mingyan still had the same indifferent look: "It took a few days to find out that you were imprisoned in solitary confinement in Prince Zhan's Mansion, come with me."
"where to?"
"Do you want to stay here?" Mingyan said and put the veil back on and asked back.
Qing Chen raised her phoenix eyes helplessly, and looked at Mingyan's indifferent eyebrows exposed outside the veil: "To be honest, I don't want to, but no one imprisons me, and I'm not used to walking with others in a daze."
Ming Yan frowned slightly when he heard the words: "My elder brother wants to see you."
"Who is your elder brother and why does he want to see me?" Qing Chen asked again.
"Of course you'll know when you see it."
Qing Chen said: "Even if I go out with you, I should tell His Highness the Seventh Highness or the princess that I can't leave without saying goodbye."
Ming Yan said: "No need." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to hold her by the waist, and then shot a black rope from his sleeve to hit the vermilion high wall, lightly tapped his toes, and his body floated lightly to the outside of the wall.
"This can't be done..." Before Qing Chen could finish his sentence, the two of them were still in mid-air, when they suddenly saw a white light, like lightning, hitting Mingyan's vest.
Amidst the whistling sound, Mingyan was slightly startled by the force of the incoming force. With a flicker of scarlet color, the Xiudao swung out with a wave of his hand. He fought the incoming person in the air, but his body did not slow down, instead he took advantage of the momentum to rise up.
The white light did not stagnate, passed through the thin knife and turned into thousands of shadows, approaching head-on, almost blocking all the exits of the nightmare.
Ming Yan had nowhere to borrow strength in mid-air, and his figure quickly retreated and floated to the ground.
Under the twilight of the willows, Ye Tianzhan was wearing a clear aqua blue gown, holding the jade flute calmly, with a slight smile on his lips: "The girl is very skilled, but you should say hello to the master when you go in and out of this place, let alone Take away the people in my mansion."
Mingyan sized him up and said coldly, "I'm offended, I'm going to take her away today."
Qing Chen was unexpectedly met by Ye Tianzhan, and just as he was thinking about how to explain this, the thin knife in Ming Yan's hand had already attacked Ye Tianzhan again, and took the opportunity to turn around and take her away.
A smile filled Ye Tianzhan's eyes, reflecting the light, the jade flute in his hand pierced obliquely into the attack of the thin knife, a cold light flew through like a shadow, and Qing Chen felt his body lighten amid the endless "ding dong" sound of gold and jade intersecting , had already been grabbed by him, and then a red light flew up in front of her eyes, and one of the thin knives of Mingyan came out of her hand, while the jade flute continued to attack, and pointed at her throat with a sharp light and shadow.
Qing Chen blurted out: "Stop!"
Hearing the sound, Yudi closed her momentum, graceful and unrestrained, the sharpness just now disappeared instantly, and Ye Tianzhan looked down at her, his brows slightly raised.
"She is my friend." Qing Chen said hastily.
"If you're a friend, you can come in through the gate in the future." Ye Tianzhan said with a slight smile, "Otherwise the guards might feel very embarrassed." be punished.
"She misunderstood that I was imprisoned in the palace, and it was not intentional." Qing Chen said, shaking his head slightly at Ming Yan.
Ye Tianzhan's eyes fell on her eyes, and his expression was elegant: "Oh? I was reckless just now." He leaned over and picked up the flying knife, and looked at Ming Yao: "The color is peachy, the light is like flowing water, Presumably the girl is as beautiful as this knife." After saying that, he held the knife in his palm and handed it back.
Mingyan's eyes flashed with alertness, and he looked at him coldly.
Ye Tianzhan stood with a smile on his face, as if he had never fought against anyone just now, and the shadows of swords and swords were all invisible in his graceful smile. In this world, there are only willows and warm wind, and the new moon is twilight.
Qing Chen said: "Sorry for disturbing the palace, can you let her go?"
Ye Tianzhan lowered his head slightly: "You want to go with her?"
Qing Chen's eyes lowered quietly, Ming Yan entered Prince Zhan's mansion today, either to find a friend, or to trespass, conspire against others, or even commit an assassination. If Ye Tianzhan insists on pursuing the matter, he can make it difficult for the Nagato Gang to gain a foothold in Yige in two days, and Mingyan will be very troublesome. She raised her head to meet the inquiry in Ye Tianzhan's eyes, and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I don't have to go with her." While speaking, she looked at Ming Yao, and took the thin knife in Ye Tianzhan's hand and handed it to her.
The handsome brightness flashed across Ye Tianzhan's eyes, he turned his head and said, "Then what does this girl think?"
Ming Yan was silent for a while, and said to Qing Chen: "I will look for you again." After saying that, he glanced at Ye Tianzhan, and then disappeared outside the red wall and blue tiles.
Ye Tianzhan shook his head and laughed: "This is really much more convenient than going through the main entrance."
The dusk is heavy and far away, leading to the long embankment, a row of smoked willows on the embankment, and the moonlight quietly hangs on the branches, like a quiet picture. In the warm dusk, Qing Chen couldn't see Ye Tianzhan's expression clearly, but could only feel the refreshing, loose and soothing touch of the lake water brought about by him.
"Been there?" Ye Tianzhan walked towards Yanbo to send Shuangzhai, and asked her.
Qing Chen stood still and said, "I won't bother Your Highness anymore."
Ye Tianzhan stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled and said, "Why are you avoiding me, will I eat people?"
Qing Chen was taken aback, and said, "Probably not."
Ye Tianzhan couldn't help but look at her with a smile. These words made Qing Chen feel a little funny, she raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but also raised the corners of her lips.
The atmosphere between the two relaxed, Ye Tianzhan's brows and eyes were warmly covered by the twilight, with a gentle and clear, "I will take you to see the scenery of Yanbo Sending Shuang Zhai at night, which is different from that in the daytime and in the Ningcui Pavilion. Very different too."
Walking along the willow embankment, when the breeze was blowing on the lake, Qing Chen turned his head and asked, "Is this your study?"
Ye Tianzhan nodded: "If you practice calligraphy and read books on weekdays, you can come here. The servants will not disturb you without order. It is quiet and convenient. If you want to read a lot of medical books, you can find them yourself."
Qing Chen said: "The collection of books here is all-encompassing, have you read them all?"
Ye Tianzhan clasped his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Most of them have read it, but the collection of books in Tiandu is undoubtedly the most in the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace. The Prince's Royal Highness, Hua Gaojue, loves books like his life. The books here are not as good as they are in case."
Qing Chen pursed his lips suddenly, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qing Chen said: "I think of the poem inscribed in your painting."
Ye Tianzhan looked at the lake and smiled lightly. There was something vaguely indifferent in the smile, but it seemed to carry a hint of nostalgia: "They are really willing to ruin a good painting that I am most proud of."
During Yanbo's delivery to Shuangzhai, there were a few more attendants because of Ye Tianzhan's return, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, dinner has been prepared ahead."
"Move over here." Ye Tianzhan ordered, "Look at what I eat on weekdays since I don't eat people." He turned his head and said a laugh, and blocked Qing Chen's excuse to leave.
Bi Shaying sat facing the Shui Bu table, and the attendants quickly served a few exquisite dishes, and then they all retreated.
Qing Chen sat quietly opposite Ye Tianzhan, there was wine during the banquet, and she suddenly had the urge to get drunk.
The wine had the fragrance of lotus leaves. She took a small sip, poured in another half cup, and poured it into her throat as she tilted her head up.
Ye Tianzhan had two drinks with her at first, but suddenly he noticed that she was drinking very quickly, so he put a vegetable cloth in front of her: "Drink slowly."
Qing Chen raised his phoenix eyes and looked at him, his cheeks flushed with wine, and the faint clear waves in his eyes made him a little distracted.
She ignored him, and drank the wine directly. The feeling of being restrained and hesitant for the past few days came to her heart with the temptation of the wine. If she couldn't vent it, she would suffocate in this depression. If toasting can relieve her sorrow, she would like to drink it for a long time, or she would wake up and find that it was just a dream, who made a big joke on herself.
Adding more wine, half of the glass went into the stomach, but half of the glass was spilled into the lake. Qing Chen bit his lip and narrowed his eyes slightly, and let go of his hand, the white jade cup fell into the water with a "poof", and sank quietly. She leaned against the railing and looked down at the ripples of the Xianyu Lake. The moonlight was very pale, falling on her side face hazyly, but it couldn't catch the streamer like jade.
"Qing Chen," Ye Tianzhan looked at her for a while and asked, "Can you drink?"
Qing Chen stood up, leaning on the wooden railing to stand gracefully, the breeze held his wide sleeves flowing, and the moonlight seemed to float in her smile, she didn't answer, just looked at him and asked slowly: "Who are you?"
His expression was blurred, but Jianshui's eyes were deeply clear, determined to see through him, "Tell me who you are?" she asked again.
Ye Tianzhan put down the silver chopsticks, supported her with a smile, and replied, "Ye Tianzhan."
"Ye Tianzhan." Qing Chen repeated: "You are Ye Tianzhan." She suddenly raised her head and smiled brightly, the moonlight, lake waves, and night lights were all caught in the clarity of her eyes, turning into Deep and light luster, slowly rising through the clear mist. She was very clear in her heart, staring at herself step by step out of a whirlpool, walking on the moonlight in the lake without looking back, until she coincided with another self, standing alone under the brilliance of the moon shadow, looking towards the endless front.
Ye Tianzhan stopped her hand holding the pot, and said softly: "The wine is gone, don't drink it, okay?"
"Yes." Qing Chen obediently handed him the wine: "I want to hear you play the flute."
"Okay." Ye Tianzhan agreed, and Qing Chen sat in front of the desk with his hands resting on his forehead, waiting quietly.
Ye Tianzhan caressed the jade flute gently, and the water waves under the pavilion patted the railing quietly. He looked at Qing Chen for a while, and smiled warmly at her.
The slender fingers moved up and down, and the flute sounded softly, the tone was not clear, it was low and wandering, only between the two of them, only they could hear it. The melody is clear and elegant, and the pulse is sighed, as if the prosperous and bright lights have emerged from the ancient world of mortals, falling on the softest place in the heart, illuminating the bleak side.
There was always a smile on the corner of Qing Chen's lips, the smile was clean and clear, Bi Sha's flying shadow became hazy in front of his eyes, peacefully turning into another world. There was nothing, only the soft flute sound lingering and lingering, accompanying her tenderly.
She looked at Ye Tianzhan with a drunken gleam in her eyes, her words were also erratic, and she leaned over the desk and asked in a low voice, "Are you the compensation that fate gave me?" Without expecting any answer, she closed her eyes deeply. eyes.
Ye Tianzhan put the jade flute aside, leaned over and gently hugged Qing Chen, her whole body was weak and soft as if she had no bones, she only stared at him with half-open eyes, closed them again, and leaned against him quietly In the crook of the arm.
He smiled and shook his head, the wine didn't seem very strong today, he didn't expect her to be so strong.
Sending her back to her residence, he stood in front of the couch and looked at her for a while. In my impression, her face was often a little pale, but at this time, the faint blush seemed to be a touch of enchanting peach, which was charming to the icy muscles and bones, which was extraordinarily moving. The eyebrows are as delicate as a cage of smoke, and the bright eyes of Gu Pansheng are covered by the light shadow of the eyelashes, making her face soft and peaceful. The slightly pursed cherry lips are thin and indistinct, as if hiding a secret under the night, and the corners of her lips are like jade. A gentle smile is an inadvertent temptation, which makes people sink a little bit.
He looked at the drunk woman lying on the jade pillow with a smile, and suddenly leaned over slightly. The orchid-like fresh air with the warm aroma of wine almost made him fall into a trance, but he stopped within a short distance, and just stretched out his hands to close her Her hair, sighed silently.
He straightened up, the corners of his lips curled into a soothing arc, and he traced the Qingjun in her charm with his eyes, and his mood suddenly became cheerful. This woman, he was strangely attracted to her from the first moment he saw her, he wanted to get close to her with his heart, instead of acting abruptly on the spot.
He turned around and walked slowly to the front of the case, thought for a while, and wrote down the pen and ink:
Looking at each other lingeringly, looking at each other lingeringly. Wanyi Qingxi, Qian Ruochun clusters.
There is a phoenix seeking a phoenix, which sounds up and down. If I wash my feathers, I have to live in a good tree.
Looking at each other lingeringly, looking at each other lingeringly. Thinking of a gentleman, it is difficult to adjust the machine.
There are flowers and pedicles, and the branches are connected. It suits my wish, and I am in harmony every year.
Looking at each other lingeringly, looking at each other lingeringly. Emotionally tender, said in the morning and evening.
There is a qin to invite a harp, which is full of ears. To my heart, I have to bring mandarin herons.
Looking at each other lingeringly, looking at each other lingeringly. Thinking upside down, it's rare to talk.
Langui Qifang, Guiling Crane Shou. Express my feelings, and stay with you forever.
This ancient song "Bimu", I hope she wakes up and sees it, and she can smile.
