Li Huang - Chapter 237
Xi He’s voice seemed to be forbearing, and his smile was slightly distant: “The emperor had a new will last night, plus the frontline battle report, and it was too late to discuss with several ministers, so I had to stay here overnight.”
I nodded: “The prince is working hard for the affairs of the country. It is really hard!” He said and looked at the sky: “It’s just so early, the prince should sleep a little longer.”
He smiled to himself, and said to me: “The mother is also very early.”
“The chrysanthemum is blooming in the imperial garden, I want to take a look.” I explained.
“The chrysanthemum in the palace is the most beautiful, Xiao Wang wants to take advantage of no one to watch it in the early morning.” He said at the same time with me.
When the words fell, we looked at each other in astonishment, and then couldn’t help but smile at each other, being moved by such a coincidence or ingenuity.
“Who would the prince accompany this palace?” After a moment’s pause, I finally spoke. For some reason, I have a feeling that this is the last chance God has given us to be alone.
He pondered for a moment, seemingly hesitant, and finally nodded.
In the imperial garden, golden chrysanthemums are everywhere, and one piece of light muscles and weak bones is seen, and Jinrui Liuxia. Walking casually, I came to the Jiuqu Promenade without knowing it. I left Huiju guarding at the entrance, and walked up the corridor alone with him.
The gentle wind blows slowly, and there is a bit of residual lotus in the pool. The bright pink of the past has now withered, but along the promenade, there are beautiful chrysanthemums, or ten-zhang hanging curtains, or the sunrise and the sky, and there are also pink flowers. It’s so smiley mixed in.
I stared at the brightest Huang Ju and said, “The golden dress with charms and the slim white jade skin. I know that the time is different, and it seems to be the same as the age. You can’t bear to fall from the ground, and you will rather die with skill.”
“I can’t bear to fall from the ground, I would rather die with my skills.” He repeated it lowly, as if something was worrying between his brows.
“Unexpectedly, there are so many chrysanthemums here.” I admired: “They are all famous species, it’s really rare.”
Xihe looked at me with a gentle look in his eyes. Maybe it was only me at this time. He no longer concealed his deep feelings, but he wouldn’t get over the thunder pool.
“My mother and concubine like chrysanthemums very much. I heard from the old people in the palace that she planted these by herself.” Xi He said, looking at the bright flowers trembling in the wind.
I smiled and said: “Quan Guifei, she must be a wonderful woman who combines beauty and elegance in the world.”
Xihe didn’t answer, but said to himself: “At that time, the patronage of the emperor’s father to her was extremely strong, and the harem was unmatched. Maybe it was this kind of pampering that made her frustrated.”
I was stunned: “Xihe, you??”
“I sometimes wonder what my biological mother looks like.”
“It’s rare that there are no portraits in the palace?” I asked in surprise.
Xi He shook his head: “There are, but I was raised by the Queen Mother since I was born. I didn’t know that I was not the Queen Mother until the death of my father. In order to repay the Queen Mother for nurturing, whatever I think would make her sad, I can’t do it.”
He paused, and suddenly laughed at himself: “Sometimes I think, if my biological mother hadn’t passed away prematurely, and I had been growing up by her side, maybe this world would not be like this.”
I looked at him and said indifferently: “Why do you feel so emotional.”
He looked at me weirdly: “Vil, you were born as a queen, don’t you think it would be better if I were the emperor?”
I was taken aback: “You are crazy! How can you say such a thing?”
He “haha” laughed: “Yeah! How could I have such an idea?” He talked about the imperial five-element dragon robe, and suddenly stared at me: “Before I met you, I learned from No, such an idea. But after that, this idea reverberated in my mind all the time, especially when we parted from Huangjiacun. This idea became stronger and harder for me, for fear of what I would do. I was sitting on top of Dan Chi, and suddenly I realized that the feeling of supreme turned out to be like this!”
His tender gaze wrapped me layer by layer like silk, “Vil, it turns out that the supreme can’t do what he wants. It turns out that the supreme is even more involuntary. I don’t like that feeling. But I think, as long as you can be with me By my side, I am willing to do anything.” His tone was full of sorrow and sorrow.
I was horrified by him, and I didn’t wait for him to finish saying: “Xihe, you can’t!”
“I can’t?” He smiled desolately, and Xiao Suo said, “I can’t. King Yu was born as the emperor’s most trusted prince, the most loyal courtier, how can he have the heart of disobedience? That is just a dream of Shen Xihe That’s it.”
I lowered my head, not knowing what to say. He didn’t want to say any more, so he was silent. The wind blew the five-colored ribbons on my body, softly hitting his autumn-scented python robe. There are also long strands of hair, a few strands passing before his eyes, like floating clouds, none of us can hold on.
“It seems to be back to the beginning.” He suddenly smiled and said: “At that time, I was reckless to take you away.”
I looked at him, his handsome face and posture had been stained with a desolation like autumn leaves.
“That was the first time I saw you, and I was attracted by the sound of the flute. The tune was like a natural sound, and when I saw you, I thought it was a fairy who had gone down to earth, and couldn’t breathe for a while. After that, I wishful thinking that you are just a harem. One of thousands of beauties, willing to be indifferent and not competing for favors. As long as I have done a great job, I can ask the emperor to marry you.”
His eyes stayed for a long time on the only flower in the pool that was still open. I followed his gaze, thinking about how many winds and rains this lotus has gone through, how much time it has gone through, it can still stand tall and straight here, even though the bright colors have gradually faded, but it is still so touching.
“I will never forget that summer, I shared a pool of spring water with you. I often relive that wonderful time in my dreams. From then on, in my heart, lotus leaves and fields are the most moving scenery in the world.”
“When I faced dozens of enemies alone on the battlefield, my only thought was, fortunately, I found the purse you gave me. But I died like this, I can’t fulfill my promise to you, and I can’t see you again. , I really can’t be reconciled, only then can I fight it out.”
“You know, on the night you told me your identity, I was drunk for the first time, because I knew that it was an insurmountable chasm. But I still secretly swear, no matter what, I will protect you silently, as long as you are safe Joy, I am happy too.”
“The healing medicine is really bitter, it’s too bitter to swallow. But you boiled it out with your own hands. I could drink it all in one breath, and think it’s sweeter than honey.”
Xi He Xuxu said, without any pause, but his voice gradually became sad. Perhaps, like me, he regards such an early morning as the last moment of being alone. All the emotions, all the deep feelings in my heart, there is only this one moment to talk.
Perhaps, if you confess, you will not be in vain of the deep love, two lovesickness.
“After you were injured and had a miscarriage, everything was like a steel knife pierced on my body. I couldn’t do anything. I could only watch you in danger in this vicious harem. I hated that time. Brother Huang, as an emperor, why can’t he protect his beloved?”
“Until the queen sent you out of the palace secretly, I didn’t know that my heart that I thought was dead for a long time was actually beating. I thought, even if I rummaged through the rivers and mountains, I will find you. Fortunately, I found about you.”
He laughed, his smile was so good-looking, like the warm sunshine on the lake in early spring, and like the sun halo projected through the green leaves in summer, bright but not dazzling.
“Huangjiacun, I think that will be the place I have been longing for all my life. Just because there are the warmest memories, the most moving scenery, and the most memorable feelings. If everything can stay where you and I are. For a moment, I am willing to die immediately.”
His voice gradually lowered: “It’s just that all the good things fade away too fast. For me, it’s already satisfied.” He laughed sadly, and his eyes were shining brightly.
During his confession, all the past events appeared before my eyes one by one, my throat was tight and unable to speak, and his frank words tore my heart to pieces. I know, this is our farewell to the past. I also faintly felt that what he would say later would be difficult for me to accept.
“Xihe??” I interrupted him gently: “What’s the matter?”
His gaze stayed on me for a long time, and the morning light sprinkled on his handsome face, adding a touch of softness to the firm edges and corners. I saw him slowly blooming with a smile, as if a flower was gradually blooming, it was intoxicating. But in that smile, I saw the sadness and unwillingness in my heart, and the helpless compromise.
“Ruoran wants to make friends with Daxi, and offer her a princess. The emperor?” He stopped suddenly, his mouth opened, but didn’t say anything.
Something crashed in my heart. Finally there is such a day. After all, he is the prince of Qinggui, and he must be matched by a beautiful family. Even though there are four side concubines, the princess of one country is the best candidate for the concubine.
“When will the princess arrive?” I looked at him and finally realized that in such an early morning, among the chrysanthemums all over the floor, this may be the most important man in my life, leaving the deepest mark on my heart. The man, finally, is inevitable, is going to leave me.
“Rooran has a long journey, the fastest, and it will take half a year. The emperor meant to wait for the victory to return before setting auspicious time.”
His voice was low, but a pair of warm hands stretched out and grabbed my hand gently, carefully and tenderly. I trembled, but did not escape. The temperature in his hand gradually came, and my heart gradually calmed down in this warmth.
“It’s finally over, isn’t it?” I asked in a low voice: “Actually, it should be over long ago. It’s time to cut off this love thread. Whether it is you or me.” I turned my head away, letting tears flow down my cheeks.
Xihe’s voice choked with determination: “In my heart, there is only you!”
I closed my eyes and shook my head gently: “No, you should have forgotten me. Be your prince and enjoy your power. I hope you will have a wonderful wife and concubine, harmony and beauty, children and grandchildren full of happiness.”
I held back the tears in my eyes and looked at the high blue sky. The morning sun is so dazzling and moving, this is the most beautiful scenery in the world, at this time in my eyes, everything is dim.
He was silent for a long while, but he chanted a poem: “Bie Pu moved to Guibijin, a hint of lightness and a deep clump. Xiao Shuli sat on his head and hugged his knees in the cold fragrance.”
I waited for a while and saw that he stopped speaking, and couldn’t help but say, “Where is the second half?”
Xihe shook his head and pointed to the sky in front of him and said, “Look at it together, okay?” He suddenly said, “This cloud is so beautiful, I don’t think we will see such a wonderful scenery again in the future.”
I looked up, and the sun rose from a golden morning glow, with boundless golden glow, broke through the clouds, and finally showed a magnificent body color in the high sky.
After a while of silence, the sound of a flute sounded like a natural sound, and it came into my body little by little. The moving “Flowing Water and Floating Lantern”, with a little sadness, with a little boundlessness, and its own softness and grace. , Echoing in the sky above Yanboting. The sun is so warm that it spills on my body, as if the warmest palm embraces me, and like the softest quilt. Inside, there is infinite warmth.
If all this is just a spring dream of a boudoir girl, how good would it be? I close my eyes, hoping to go to sleep. When I woke up, I was still the carefree young lady from Ling’s family. In my boudoir, my life was so simple that I only had my cousin Gao, only Qinqi, calligraphy and painting, and female red embroidery. I didn’t even understand love or love. The word is a disaster.
