Reign of the Phoenix - Chapter 588
Murong Zhining sighed: “since experiencing a series of changes, my mood has never been better! Even if you dance on the railing, it’s hard to have fun! Thank you, Yuanzhi! It is you who in my darkest years, let me feel warm, let me believe again, there is sincerity between people
Yuan Dong lowered his head in shame: “the Emperor We both lost our dear relatives not long ago, but I took out all my dissatisfaction on you regardless of your feelings. I feel very ashamed that you have suffered double pain! Emperor, since the pain can’t change the reality and the lost relatives will never come back, why should we sink into endless grief? ”
Murong Zhining shook his head leniently: “you have made such a great sacrifice for me. How can I care about your attitude? Yuanzhi, I’m more and more dependent on you. I’m afraid you’ll leave me alone… ”
Yuan Dong gently said: “we are interdependent, in fact, I am more afraid of losing you! Ning’er, we don’t want to be angry in the future. If we get along well, I will stay by your side and be your strong backing. When you are sad, my shoulder lets you rely on, you are happy, I accompany you to smile together
Murong Zhining gently scattered Jiao: “then you play a song for me, I haven’t heard you play for a long time!”
Yuan Zhi exclaimed, “manager Fei, let someone bring me my piano. I will play a song for the emperor myself.”
In the backyard under the terrace, there is a small table with square sides. Cheng Yanqing and Liu Mengqin sit on the ground on a bamboo mat. They listen to the laughter on the terrace and taste the food and wine that Murong Zhining has sent.
Liu Mengqin looked up at the bright candlelight on the terrace and sighed: “this pair of men and women really enjoy it! Xiaoqing, don’t be depressed. People are talking about love on the top, but we are drinking under the table Xiaoqing, that Yuanda talent is a master of love, he can really please women. I’m a little envious of him. He aroused eunuchs and maids. It seems that he is the emperor. ”
Cheng Yanqing looked up and drank up the wine in the cup, and put the cup on the table heavily: “what’s the use of envy? Like you, you can only look up to others all your life. Look, one day, I can make the emperor fall in love with me. I want to change my position with Lord yuan. Then, I will arrange him to live in the side hall of the backyard, and let him look up to me and have a love affair with the emperor on the terrace… ”
Liu Mengqin covered Cheng Yanqing’s back with his hand: “be quiet! Xiaoqing, you have greed, happiness will be far away from you! Didn’t we have a good time before? We don’t lack money. We are pursued everywhere. Why do you have to stay in the palace and find your own anger? ”
Cheng Yanqing’s lips sparked a smile: “I’m fed up with the days when there are silver flowers but no status. Those who pursue me are just having ulterior motives and want to get my body! Besides, we can’t sing for a lifetime. When I taught the emperor sword dance today, she and I looked at each other. She even avoided my eyes. Do you know what it means? ”
Liu Mengqin’s curiosity was aroused and asked, “what does it mean?”
Cheng Yanqing was full of complacency: “it shows that she is not good at dealing with people. In other words, she is still very shy and lacks experience between men and women, even though she has high status. I am sure that this kind of woman can make her crazy! Besides, there is still nothing between her and Mr. Yuan. Since Mr. Yuan refuses to attack her, let me do it! ”
Liu Mengqin lowered his voice: “Shhh hush. Xiao Qing, you are so brave. I dare not even look at the emperor. I only dare to look at her secretly. However, you dare to take advantage of the opportunity to teach her sword dance to hold her waist and face to face with her. Xiaoqing, I always thought you were a woman in your heart… ”
Cheng Yanqing sneered: “it doesn’t matter whether I am a man or a woman. Who can give me glory and wealth, I will flatter who! I’m a man of seven feet, but I’m going to dress up as a woman on the stage and be humiliated by those men with ulterior motives. I’ve had enough of this kind of life without dignity. One day, I’ll let those who don’t treat me as a person will know that I’m Cheng Yanqing, not a common person, but a superior person! ”
Liu Mengqin covered his mouth and exclaimed: “I’m scared by your ambition! Xiaoqing, wake up, there is no man in history who can make a great success in the end! Besides, how do you know that Lord yuan and the emperor are innocent? They are so intimate, I’m afraid they have been Alas, the emperor will marry Lord yuan sooner or later, according to manager Fei
Cheng Yanqing complacent smile: “I have confidence, sooner or later I will be the emperor’s person! Go and go You can’t even be a famous character, let alone please the emperor! Elder martial brother, not everyone can get close to the emperor. If I don’t seize this opportunity, I will live in regret all my life! ”
On the terrace, Yuan Zhi arranged his sleeves gracefully, raised his hand to touch the strings, and a piece of “Danfeng Chaoyang” slowly melted into the night.
Murong Zhining sat at the table, staring at Yuanzhi with appreciative eyes. Her heart seemed to fly back to the night of the Mid Autumn Festival three years ago. The handsome and elegant young man, dressed in a white robe, was swinging a folding fan with high spirits, leading her through the noisy night market in Shang and summer.
Murong Zhining was intoxicated with her apricot eyes half closed and immersed in the wonderful sound of the piano. The time seemed to go back to that year and everything seemed to have never changed. She was as green and beautiful as she was then, and the youth who played the piano for her was as pure and gentle as she was then.Yuan Zhi finished playing a song, went to Murong Zhining, and put her hand on her shoulder: “Ning’er, my piano sound has made you bored to sleep?”
Murong Zhining came back to God and looked forward to the way: “no! The sound of your piano brought me back to the night of the Mid Autumn Festival three years ago. I just had a vague illusion and dreamt back to the other courtyard in the northern suburb of your home. I seem to have seen the situation when you played “Fengyin”. Lan’er and Mr. Lian were tasting tea and listening to you playing “snow in spring” Unconsciously, things have changed. If everything had not changed, what would have happened to us now? ”
Yuan Zhi moved a chair and sat side by side with Murong Zhining. He stretched out his hand and held Murong Zhining’s hand: “Ning’er, the past experience, whether it is happiness or pain, has witnessed our growth and become a valuable asset in our life. You do not have to deliberately avoid those dark past, when you can be indifferent to the pain will no longer haunt you! Think about happy things and forget the people who have hurt you, otherwise, you will never get out of the past, and you will not get happy! ”
Murong Zhining looked sideways at Yuanzhi: “I always hope that time can be reversed, so as to change that nightmare like past! Misfortune seems to be closely linked, step by step changed the trajectory of my life, but also quietly changed the fate of all around me! I’m deeply concerned about my past, and I can never take it lightly! ”
Yuan Zhi frowned tightly: “in fact, I don’t care about your past. What I do mind is that you can’t let go of the past. You have to choose to forget the past for our future?”
Murong Zhining reached out and stroked shangyuanzhi’s cheek: “I am willing to try Yuanzhi, if “Linglong Xixin pill” can make me lose my memory all my life! I know you care about my past, but I can’t change all this! ”
Yuan Zhi poured a glass of wine and handed it to Murong Zhining: “at least you are willing to try to forget the past for me! Whatever the outcome, I’ll take it easy. Don’t say that. You see, the moon is full tonight. I’d like to propose a toast to the queen
Murong Zhining picked up the glass and drank it up: “drink it again, I will be drunk! As soon as I’m drunk, I’ll go crazy. Then you’ll scold me… ”
Yuan Zhi said with a smile, “why do you hold grudges so much? When did I scold you? Last time it was because you were dancing on the railing. It was too dangerous. Ning’er, you mentioned Lian Kun just now. I happened to see him outside the palace a few days ago. ”
Murong Zhining said happily, “why don’t you invite him into the palace and talk about the past with me? Although Mr. Lian’s behavior is not elegant enough, he is still worthy of friendship
Yuan Zhi burst out laughing boldly: “he is a businessman, all over the smell of copper! He wanted to see you when he fell down. I didn’t take him into the palace because I was afraid you would annoy him
Murong Zhining coquettishly tilted her head: “you used to run on people even childe. Fortunately, they don’t care about you! When did I bother Mr. Lian? If you don’t take him into the palace, he thinks it’s my old love! ”
Yuan Zhi laughed and said, “good, you are broad-minded, I am careful of my eyes! Next time I see him, I will bring him into the palace. It’s strange, Lan’er said. You hate vulgar people most. Lian Kun is so vulgar, but you say he is worth meeting! ”
Murong Zhining said with affectation: “at the beginning, I also felt that he was too vulgar to bear. However, he was your best friend, and I reluctantly accepted it. After getting along with him for a long time, I felt that he was very kind to his friends and didn’t care about his gains and losses, so I gradually changed my attitude towards him. By the way, he was there when he opened the treasure of Beiyan. Did the emperor forget to reward him when he rewarded you? ”
Yuan Zhi pondered for a moment: “Lian Kun usually looks like a little bit of a family. At the critical time, it’s really impressive! Your father asked him to escape from the treasure. He chose only one painting and calligraphy and sent it to me, saying thanks for opening his eyes. ”
Just at this time, the backyard of sangrou palace sounded a burst of mournful flute. Murong Zhining follows the sound of the flute and goes to the edge of the terrace. He sees Cheng Yanqing sitting alone on the rockery in the backyard. He holds a flute in his hand. His lonely figure is shrouded in the moonlight. A string of beautiful and desolate melody slowly drifts around.
Murong Zhining was fascinated. She supported her cheek with her elbow and tried to think back where she had heard this song? What’s the name of the song?
Yuan Zhi went to Murong Zhining and covered her with a thin cloak: “who is playing flute there? It’s not easy for you to feel better. Who is playing such a sad tune there
Murong Zhining held her forehead with her hand: “I seem to have heard this song, but I can’t name it for a while, and I can’t remember who blew it? Since taking “Linglong Xixin pill”, although I haven’t lost my memory forever, my memory is getting worse and worse
Yuan Zhi comforted him: “in one’s life, you have to experience countless scenes and listen to songs with different melodies. You are not a fairy. How can you remember them one by one? I want people to see, who is there to affect your mood? Let someone take it down and hit him on a few boards. “
