She will suffer if she goes out!That's why you dare to step on my sincerity for you again and again, don't you? "
Bai Qian, who has always been gentle, uttered such words to herself almost hysterically at this moment, Cangwu Jingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "So I am so unbearable in your heart?"
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan showing such an expression for the first time, Bai Qian felt a pain in her heart, knowing that what she said was serious.
She and Cangwu Jingyuan have been together day and night since childhood, how could she not know what kind of character she is?It's just that Bai Qian hates the way she hides everything from herself and wants to bear it all by herself, so she forces her, and wants to hear her reveal everything to herself.
But after a few days, she seemed to be convinced of herself, and she had no intention of coming to her for reconciliation at all. Today, she saw that she was worried about her, and she confidently pulled herself to go to the Hongmen Banquet with her. Damn tight!
Thinking of this, Bai Qian was annoyed for a while, she stepped on Cangwu Jingyuan's foot very childishly, then turned and left quickly.
Cangwu Jingyuan is wearing white Shu Jinxiu shoes freshly released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, and Bai Qian left a light gray footprint on her feet before they were warmed up, which really made Cangwu Jingyuan dumbfounded.
Seeing Bai Qian's figure coaxing him away, Cangwu Jingyuan knelt down and rubbed her feet with grinning teeth, realizing that when Bai Qian was really angry, it actually hurts to step on someone...
When you returned to Chaoyang Palace, your lord was playing the qin in the pavilion. The music of the qin was the famous "Lisi".
According to legend, "Lisi" was made by a musician in this dynasty. This musician worked in a music workshop, and her wife was a singer in the music workshop, with a beautiful singing voice like a lark.The two of them compose the music, and the other writes the lyrics, and then the singer sings it. The kind of love is so deep that others are really envious.
However, the good times didn't last long. The singer fell ill later and died soon after. So the musician also died of depression not long after composing the only piece in his life that had no lyrics.
This song is very sad and lingering, Cangwu Jingyuan listened to it, and for some reason, she was fascinated, and there was a rare sadness on her face.
Ever since Cangwu Jingyuan stepped into the courtyard, Shen Chen had noticed it. Seeing her sad face and vacant eyes, he said, "It's rare to see you have such an emotional side, but do you have someone in mind?"
When she regained her senses, Cangwu Jingyuan was a little surprised that she would be dragged out of all kinds of past memories by the sound of the piano. Hearing Shen Chen's ridicule, her face returned to normal again, deliberately avoiding his favorite person, and said with a smile: "It can only be said that your qin art is so superb that it is difficult for people not to indulge in it."
"You are the only one who can talk." Shen Chen glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, patted the seat beside him and said, "Didn't you clamor to learn the piano last night? Come and sit down!"
After Cangwu Jingyuan sat down, the noble gentleman stroked the strings with his ten fingers, and the simple and clear sounds of the piano were played.
As soon as the piano score was finished, Shen Chen pushed the piano in front of Jing Yuan and said, "You are young, it's time for you to be full of vigor, and you should not listen to this kind of mourning song in the future. You should see clearly, come and try."
"It's not that you talk about this kind of song that hurts spring and autumn all day long." Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips, thinking that Shen Chen's fingering just now was very clumsy and unfamiliar with plucking the strings, and refused to admit that the song caused her mind.
Your lord didn't point it out, just said: "I have experienced love and hate, and I am not so attached to these things, so I played this song with a normal heart, but I didn't expect you, the fourth princess, to have such an emotional look."
"You think everyone is as hard-hearted as you." Cangwu Jingyuan retorted, but Shen Chen continued to make fun of himself, so he changed the subject and told him about Cangwu Lingxue's invitation to dinner.
"With Bachelor Bai here, I'm afraid Cangwu Lingxue won't be able to come up with anything. By the way, I heard that the food in Zuixianlou is good." After finishing speaking, Shen Chen rolled up his sleeves and stood up, pointing to the table The exquisite golden nanmuqin said: "The queen gave it to me. I don't need it, so I will give it to you! Practice this piece of piano music today, and play it to me tomorrow." After explaining a word, Shen Chen turned and left up.
Looking at Shen Chen's back, the corners of Cangwu Jingyuan's lips couldn't help twitching. This man looks gentle and refined, but he's really ruthless!Zuixianlou, tsk tsk!Although the food there is famous in the whole Cangwu Kingdom, but the price can make many dignitaries discouraged.

Chapter 29
After the morning class on the second day, Cangwu Lingxue and Bai Qian went directly to the gate of the palace.
Although Cangwu Lingxue, who is responsible for paying the money this time, has already booked a restaurant in Beijing, she still wants to ask Cangwu Jingyuan for their opinions and asks: "I heard that the food in Yuhua Pavilion in Beijing is delicious. Very good, what do you think of the fourth sister of Bachelor Bai, where do you want to go?"
Hearing the words Yuhua Pavilion, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help but slander in her heart. Now the palace side and servants only have so much money every month, and it's gone when they usually take care of the servants and buy some things, so they Many of them do some business with some spare money on hand, and they will be able to have a lot of money after a month.
Others don't know whose business is behind the Yuhua Pavilion, but Cangwu Jingyuan, who has been reborn once, knows very well that the Yuhua Pavilion was opened by Cangwu Lingxue's father, Chen Lurong, outside the palace. Treating yourself to a meal is a cliché, and you are not willing to spend money. You are really shrewd.
Thinking of this, Cangwu Jingyuan said: "Although the food in Yuhua Pavilion is pretty good, it's a long way from the palace! Jing Yuan's health has never been very good, how about choosing a nearby restaurant for a light meal?"
The corners of Cangwu Lingxue's lips couldn't help twitching, Yuhua Pavilion is only a joss stick drive from here in a carriage, how can it be that far, but since she said so, Cangwu Lingxue can't refute her meaning , said with a smile: "Then, do the four princesses have something they like?"
Cangwu Jingyuan pondered for a moment and smiled, "I've heard that the dishes in Zuixianlou are very delicious, why don't we go there and have a taste?"
This time, the corners of Cangwu Lingxue's lips twitched even more, but she had already let out a treat to thank Cangwu Jingyuan, and now that Bai Qian couldn't lose face by being by the side, she could only nod and let the coachman take her. Follow them all the way to the direction of Zuixianlou.
Although Cangwu Jingyuan is not extremely intelligent, she has lived two lifetimes anyway, and it is not difficult to deal with Cangwu Lingxue, and all kinds of doubts and clichés about her are evaded completely in circles.
Although there were constant conversations on the table, the movements of Cangwu Jingyuan's subordinates picking up vegetables were not slow at all.
Speaking of which, Zuixianlou can be regarded as the top restaurant listed in Beijing. The top-notch daughter red, hot and sour southern milk squirrel fish, delicious casserole glutinous rice crab, and pearl tofu soup that melt in the mouth have always been very good for food. The enthusiastic Cangwu Jingyuan tasted plates of top-notch food, and it was a feast for her.
Cangwu Jingyuan patted her chubby belly contentedly after eating a meal in the morning until the sun was in the sky, smiled and waved to the elegantly dressed waitress: "I'll take another four-treasure platter away with me."
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan turned her head to look at Cangwu Lingxue, who didn't seem to have a very good face, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Third Sister, for your kind hospitality today. If there is nothing else, I'll go back with Xueshi Bai first. It’s too full to digest.” He burped vividly as he spoke.
Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan looked like a rascal, even Cangwu Lingxue, who had always been reserved in front of outsiders, couldn't help but turn pale, and bowed to them without saying a word, as if she was seeing off the guests.
Walking side by side with Bai Qian and just stepped out of the Zuixian Building, Cangwu Jingyuan was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to invite Bai Qian to go shopping to ease the conflict between the two, but Bai Qian still cared about everything yesterday and directly shirked the palace. If there was something else to do, he turned around and left first.
In the next few days, because Cangwu Jinxiu was still in confinement, Cangwu Lingxue spent a lot of money to invite Cangwu Jingyuan to eat and drink, and her face was dark all day long, so she didn't find Cangwujing for the time being. Yuan discusses poetry, so Cangwu Jingyuan rarely spends a few days of leisurely life. Of course, it would be better if Bai Qian could not keep a look of retreating three feet with her...
Early this morning, after the morning class, Cangwu Jingyuan practiced sword in the courtyard as usual, and when she was getting excited, Luhe came over with a food box.
Lu He put a bowl of lily and white fungus porridge on the table with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Princess." Let's have some breakfast. "
Putting away the long sword, Cangwu Jingyuan looked at Luhe's joyful eyes, took a sip of the porridge she handed her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you so happy?"
"Princess, don't you know yet? The second prince is back!" Lu He said with an unconcealable excitement on her face. For all the maids in the palace, she is extremely handsome, gentle and elegant, with superb medical skills, and treats servants well. The second prince, who is not the slightest bit of airs, is like the lover in their dreams. Now that the second prince has returned from a trip outside the womb, they must be very happy.
Cangwu Lingyu, Cangwu Jingyuan fell into the memory, her second elder brother always liked freedom and acted informally. She had been traveling outside before, and thought that he would never return to the palace for the rest of her life.It's just that there is an undercurrent in this palace now, and I don't know whether he will be able to help him after he returns, or will become a stumbling block.
"Princess, are you unhappy?" Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan hadn't spoken, Lu He asked with some concern. Recently, her master often showed such an expression when no one was around, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. Miss Bai Qian came over to chat and laugh with her, but she hadn't been seen for a few days.
"I don't know what Miss Bai is doing, and she doesn't come to look for the princess anymore." Thinking of this, Lu He couldn't help but say.
"Of course she doesn't have time to come to your princess."
Lu He looked at Cangwu Jingrui who was coming from outside the courtyard, and was slightly taken aback, then blessed her body and said: "See the fifth prince."
Cangwu Jingrui waved his hand, and said in a sour tone: "Cangwu Lingyu went to look for Bai Qian as soon as he came back. I heard that they didn't go back to his palace all night. They are lonely men and widows, and they don't know... "
"Cangwu Jingrui!" Cangwu Jingyuan frowned and interrupted him: "You don't know who Bai Qian is. The two of them have always had a good relationship. So what if we haven't seen each other for many years? Don't you want to?" Belly sinister heart of a gentleman."
"What day do you need to talk by candlelight?"
After the blunt words were finished, Cangwu Jingrui suddenly noticed that Cangwu Jingyuan's face darkened, and she curled her lips and said, "Yes, yes, you are a gentleman, and we are all villains."
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan who was clearly worried but still pretending to be disapproving, Cangwu Jingrui couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart, just pretend, when Bai Qian runs off with others, you won't even have time to cry.
Cangwu Jingyuan cast a glance at Cangwu Jingrui and didn't make another sound. After drinking the porridge, she continued to practice sword as if she didn't care.
Seeing that Cangwu Jingrui came here and failed to pull Cangwu Jingyuan into the water to deal with Cangwu Lingyu with his own enemy, he suddenly felt bored and left sullenly.
The author has something to say: Should the title of this chapter be called The Return of the Rival in Love? 233333
Chapter 30
Seeing Cangwu Jingrui's leaving back, Cangwu Jingyuan stopped swinging the sword and frowned slightly.
Even though she said that to Cangwu Jingrui just now, she was still uneasy in her heart, and after some hesitation, she decided to go to Bai Qian's place to have a look.
As a result, as soon as I walked all the way to Beigong Garden, I heard a faint cry from behind the rockery.
Hearing some familiar voices, Cangwu Jingyuan walked over to find out what happened, although she was concerned about Bai Qian, but when she probed, she saw Lu He was squatting behind Jiashan, covering her face, crying very aggrieved.
"Lvhe?" Cangwu Jingyuan walked forward in three steps and two steps, pulled up Lvhe who was squatting on the ground, looked at her face wet with tears, and said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Lu He didn't expect Cangwu Jingyuan to appear here, so she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and forced a smile, "No, it's nothing, the servant accidentally fell, and it hurt so much that I cried. "
Looking at the half of Lu He's cheek that was intentionally hidden, I saw several bright fingerprints on the originally fair face, and the whole half of the face was swollen, Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and said coldly: "You fell Can you still get a slap on the face with a fall? Who hit it?"
Anger rose in Cangwu Jingyuan's heart. Lvhe has always been loyal to her side. When she was left out in the past, she even took her to endure hardships. Others entered the palace for the pursuit of glory and wealth. Only Lvhe was with her. After her biological father passed away and all the maids were gone, they still stayed by her side wholeheartedly.
For Cangwu Jingyuan, Luhe's identity is no longer as simple as a maid, but more inclined to her relatives. Now that she is being beaten, how can she bear this tone?
Seeing that Luhe was holding tears and did not speak, Cangwu Jingyuan sneered. After she was the daughter of a noble, the only one who dared to blatantly move the people around her was Cangwu Jinxiu. Thinking of Cangwujing Yuan took Lu He to the direction of Cangwu Jinxiu bedroom.
Sensing Cangwu Jingyuan's intentions, Luhe's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly grabbed Cangwu Jingyuan's sleeve and said, "Princess, princess, the slaves are rough and fleshy, it doesn't matter if you get hit twice, princess please Don't start a dispute with the eldest princess because of the slave, and the one who beat the slave is the maid next to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess did not beat the slave herself."
Even at this time, Luhe still thought of her, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart softened, and after reassuring Luhe and telling her that she would not mess around, she took Luhe straight to Cangwu Jinxiu's dormitory.
In the Jinxiu Pavilion of Fenghua Palace, Cangwu Jinxiu was leaning on the beauty couch, asking the little maid to paint her nails with Impatiens juice.
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan pull Luhe in, Cangwu Jinxiu didn't get up, looked at the two with a strange look, and said, "What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually brought fourth sister here."
Cangwu Jingyuan sneered and said, "Cangwu Jinxiu, it seems that you haven't been locked up enough yet! Did you instruct the maid to beat Luhe?"
Cangwu Jinxiu sneered when she heard the words: "So what if it is, so what if it's not, as a dignified princess, can I teach this servant a lesson and still need to report to you?"
"Of course it's not necessary." Cangwu Jingyuan sneered, walked up to Lanqin, a close maid who was standing beside Cangwu Jinxiu with a face full of pride and disdain, and slapped her twice with her hands raised.
Cangwu Jingyuan has been practicing martial arts for some time, and the strength in her hands is naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary court lady. With two slaps, Lan Qin's body was unstable and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, her face swelled instantly, her lips The horn also overflowed with some blood, and immediately covered his face and pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan and cried, "How dare you hit me?"
Looking coldly at the court lady who was sitting on the ground without realizing the status quo at all, Cangwu Jingyuan sneered and said, "Your master doesn't seem to have taught you what it means to be a slave! How dare you offend me!" Another two slaps.
This time, Cangwu Jingyuan's attack was so powerful that the maid couldn't bear it and passed out directly.
Seeing this, Cangwu Jinxiu threw the porcelain bowl containing Impatiens flower juice to the ground, stood up and pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan's nose and screamed, "Cangwu Jingyuan, don't bully people too much!"
Cangwu Jingyuan waved away Cangwu Jinxiu and pointed at her hand, approached a few steps with dark eyes, and spoke in an extremely cold tone, "What? You weren't the emperor just now, you personally said that it is only natural for the master to teach the servants a lesson. Is it something? The Royal Sister, the personal maid, dares to commit disrespect to the princess, and she can be killed with a stick!"
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan showing such an expression to her for the first time, Cangwu Jinxiu felt a chill in his heart, and he froze on the spot, unable to say a word.
Seeing Cangwu Jinxiu's dazed look, Cangwu Jingyuan moved closer, reached out and patted Cangwu Jinxiu's stiff shoulder, and said in a cold and sullen voice: "I, Cangwu Jingyuan, have no other great skills, but I like to protect my weaknesses. , and always do things without considering the consequences, if a similar thing happens next time and annoys me, Jing Yuan can't guarantee that she will do something out of the ordinary, the eldest princess should do it for herself."
After saying a word, Cangwu Jingyuan took Lu He and turned around and left Cangwu Jinxiu's bedroom.
Following Cangwu Jingyuan out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, Lu He was both moved and worried, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Cangwu Jingyuan, crying, "Your maidservant is not worthy of a princess."
Cangwu Jingyuan helped Luhe up, and said solemnly: "You are the person by my side, and I won't let you be wronged for a day when I'm here. Besides, if I can't even protect you, why don't you How do you protect others?"
Luhe's face was injured, Cangwu Jingyuan naturally couldn't leave her alone.He took her back to the palace and applied medicine on her face, and was caught by Shen Chen to practice swordsmanship all afternoon, and was busy until the evening when Cangwu Jingyuan finally got away, so the idea of going to see Bai Qian came up again.
Arriving at Xueyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan deliberately didn't let anyone inform her, and went straight in, but before reaching the inner courtyard, she heard the crisp sound of swords and swords intersecting, as well as white and shallow laughter.
Cangwu Jingyuan paused, then walked a few minutes closer, and saw Bai Qian and Cangwu Lingyu fighting swords under the shade of green bamboo in the courtyard.
Cangwu Lingyu was defeated by a small margin in a competition, but there was no trace of annoyance on his face. Instead, he said something to Bai Qian with warm eyes and a clear smile. When Bai Qian heard it, he bent down with a sword Waisted.Cangwu Lingyu also smiled, stretching out his hand to help Bai Qian brush away the leaves that fell in her hair.
The man was extremely handsome and gentle as jade, while the woman's black hair was like ink and her smile was like a flower. In the originally harmonious scene, Cangwu Jingyuan found it extremely dazzling.
Pulling the corner of her lips with difficulty, Cangwu Jingyuan turned and left the courtyard.
Chapter 31
Looking at the shadows cast by the cold moonlight on the ground, the smile that Cangwu Jingyuan maintained on her lips finally turned into a wry smile.
She should be happy, shouldn't she?Cangwu Lingyu and Bai Qian are both talented and beautiful ladies. Cangwu Lingyu is free and easy, and Bai Qian is full of talent and shocking talent. If two people like this stand together, no one will be afraid when they see each other. I can't help but say "golden boy and jade girl".
What's more, her second brother is free and easy by nature, he is not like himself, he has too many secrets and shackles that cannot be revealed to others.He will not make Bai Qian worry, let her think wildly, and will not make her wait, he is fully capable of protecting her for the rest of her life, taking her away from right and wrong, and enjoying a lifetime of happiness.
And what about myself?It will only make her sad, make her get hurt again and again in order to protect herself, and even die in front of him suffering from the pain of gouging out her heart.She just wants her to wait hopelessly for herself and trust herself.
"Why, Cangwu Jingyuan, why are you?" Cangwu Jingyuan murmured to herself, feeling sad in her heart.
Sure enough, the second brother is more suitable for her. If Bai Qian really changes his mind in the future, maybe he should really let go.
But why, thinking that Bai Qian will be with others in the future, thinking that she will look at other people affectionately with her eyes, and whisper the other person's name over and over again, my heart hurts so much?Even if he wins the throne and avenges himself in the end, but if Bai Qian is not around at that time, then what's the point of all this?
Cangwu Jingyuan gave a wry smile and suddenly felt very tired, not only physically, but also emotionally.
Since her rebirth, she has been thinking about how to deal with the conspiracies and tricks around her every day, and how to implement her plan without being discovered.
She wants to be nice to Bai Qian, because she remembers how Bai Qian stayed by her side affectionately and forbearingly in her previous life, how she still cared about herself after being disfigured, and how she blocked that sword for herself dripping with blood, but Bai Qian now Qian has no such memories.
Bai Qian doesn't have those unbearable memories, and she doesn't have those long nights of crying and cursing grief. She should have been like this, proud of her youth, admired by thousands of people, with a bright future, advising the country in her best years, and then Looking for a handsome young man to live a warm and beautiful life.
Maybe she was the unnecessary accident!
Cangwu Jingyuan returned to Chaoyang Palace with chaotic thoughts all the way, and was stopped by Cangwu Jingrui as soon as she stepped into the palace gate. But Cangwu Jingrui grabbed the sleeve.
Cangwu Jingrui looked at Cangwu Jingyuan's pale face, and asked in surprise, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you, you look so ugly?"
"I'm fine, why are you looking for me?" Cangwu Jingyuan restrained her emotions a bit, looked at Cangwu Jingrui and said indifferently.
Cangwu Jingrui hesitated and said: "Isn't Cangwu Lingyu at Sister Bai's? I'm sure I can't beat him alone. I don't want to ask you to drive that apprentice back to my palace."
Cangwu Jingyuan smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Don't go, let's not bother her anymore, let her go."
When he returned to his dormitory, Cangwu Jingyuan only felt very tired, but when he closed his eyes, all the beautiful pictures of Bai Qian and Cangwu Lingyu getting along appeared in his mind. The originally beautiful picture is like an annoying mosquito at this moment, making her very irritable.
Cangwu Jingyuan closed her eyes forcefully, then stood up and practiced her sword.
However, she was not the only one who was lonely and frustrated. When Cangwu Jingyuan passed by the pavilion, she saw Shen Chen sitting in the pavilion drinking alone, with white clothes and black hair, bare feet, like an exile.
"It's no wonder the empress always wants to keep you in the palace." Cangwu Jingyuan put away her sword and sat down beside Shen Chen consciously. She reached out to pick up a jade wine glass, picked up the jug and poured a glass for herself liquor.
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her head and poured down the wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling refreshed all over the body. The wine was clear and bitter, and after swallowing, the fragrance remained on her lips and teeth, "Your gentleman, this wine is really good."
"Can I make it well?" Shen Chen also took a sip of the drink, with a few strands of loose black hair hanging down on his chest, he was even more charming than a woman.
"Does this wine have a name?" Cangwu Jingyuan poured another glass.
Shen Chen played with the wine glass lazily, unable to tell whether it was joking or serious, and said: "This wine is called 'Love does not know where it starts, and it goes deep.'"
"You lied to me again, how could anyone give such a long name to a jar of wine?" Cangwu Jingyuan shook her head, signaling that she didn't believe him.
"What did I lie to you for?" Shen Chen sat up slightly, and said with nostalgia and emotion in his eyes: "Your father married this name."
"Father..." Thinking of him, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help feeling a little sad. To cover up, she raised her head to look at Shen Chen: "My lord, tell me the story between you and my father."
I thought that Shen Chen would refuse, but he seemed to be in a very good mood tonight, he gave a low laugh and did not refuse.
He raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in the cup, Shen Chen said slowly: "Your father and I met in this palace, I never thought that in this cage-like deep palace, there are still people who can Comfort my heart, relieve my lovesickness. If making a deal with the empress is the first thing I do not regret in my life, then meeting and getting to know your father is the second thing."
When did you fall in love with He Qi?Love at first sight or love over time?
I still remember that when he first entered the palace, he was still thinking about the chic and happy outside the palace walls, and he had trouble sleeping and eating almost every day, until one day he wandered to a separate hall, which was dilapidated and deserted, but a peach tree in the courtyard was in full bloom. It was so romantic, he couldn't hold it back for a while, and danced his sword amidst the falling flowers.
After the dance, he turned around and saw a man in a fine attire standing behind him, as if fascinated by it.
"Your sword dance is so good!" The man was half envious and half admiring. This was the first person in the palace who showed his favor to him without making him feel disgusted. Chen actually stayed to talk with him, and that day he knew the name of this person——He Qi.
The relationship that followed went smoothly. They used to sneak around the lake in private, visit temple fairs, and also went on night tours with candles and fell asleep on their feet.
He Qi is a very gentle person, perhaps because of his humble status, he is not favored by the queen, he always has a very humble smile on his face, which makes people want to protect him, but after getting in touch with him, he is found to be a A person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside looks weak, but is actually very tough on the inside.
In the beginning, the two were just dancing swords and playing the piano, and they gradually turned into bedtime conversations together. Later, at some point, Shen Chen gradually fell in love with each other. Every time he faced He Qi, he had to work hard to restrain himself. He found love.
Chapter 32 (includes v notice)
One night, when the moon was as dim and ambiguous as tonight, Shen Chen dug out the wine he had brewed from under the osmanthus tree, and the two of them drank while discussing poems.
While drinking, He Qi also asked Shen Chen the same question. He said, such a good wine has a name. Shen Chen shook his head. I don’t know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.”
Shen Chen only felt his heart beat a little faster at that time, he said, how could anyone give such a long name to wine.He Qi suddenly leaned over, he should be drunk, his face was as red as a peach blossom in the spring breeze in March, but he was clearly awake again, because his eyes were sparkling with stars, he lightly Exhaling lightly, speaking hot words of love, he said, can't you hear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink?
Shen Chen turned his head, He Qi's face was close at hand, there was a smile on his lips, but there was a kind of sad bravery and determination in his eyes, Shen Chen was moved, and he slowly moved closer, as his lips When they met, the two were like each other's last piece of driftwood, lingering to death.At this moment, he is not a noble man, and He Qi is not a person in this deep palace. The two of them are just two poor people who want to find a little love and warmth in this world.Even if you know you will be shameless, even if you know you will be spurned and punished, you still have to enjoy this moment of love.
However, the time of falling in love is always so fast and short. Not long after, He Qi was raped by several court ladies and sentenced to death by the queen for adultery. He knew that all this was a conspiracy, but when He Qi suffered all this, he felt that Not by his side.
Having said this, Shen Chen's hands trembled slightly. He tried to take a sip of wine, but all the wine disappeared into the night.He still remembered that before He Qi died, he still didn't complain, but just asked himself to take care of his child.
The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to ask, not being able to let go.Shen Chen has already endured five of these eight kinds of suffering. He doesn't understand why he is punished even if he loves each other, why such a passionate love and such a desperate sincerity can't grow old in the end.
Shen Chen didn't tell Cangwu Jingyuan about these things, he saw that her eyes were stained with sadness, so he stopped, and took her wine glass by the way: "Although the wine is delicious, don't be greedy."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to love someone like you in my life." Cangwu Jingyuan looked at her empty hands, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.
"It's my fault." Shen Chen sat up slightly, "But you are so young, why do you keep saying such frustrating words, is it because you are in conflict with your Bai Qian again?"
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her head in astonishment: "You..."
Shen Chen pursed his lips and smiled, raised his head and downed a glass of wine and said, "You are so obvious, even a blind person can see it."
Cangwu Jingyuan smiled wryly: "In your eyes, what is the relationship between the two of us?"
Shen Chen didn't speak, Cang Wu Jingyuan continued: "In the beginning, I just regarded Bai Qian as a good friend, but gradually, I found that I would miss her when I couldn't see her, and couldn't bear to be with her when I was with her." I always want to make her happy, and when I see her hurt, I want to bear the pain for her. Sometimes, even I don’t know whether I like her more or get used to her more.”
"You..." Shen Chen reached out and tapped Cangwu Jingyuan on the forehead, and sighed: "I just ask you, do you subconsciously want to get close to Bai Qian, and you have a lot to say when you don't meet?" I want to tell her, but I can't say a word when we meet again."
Cangwu Jingyuan nodded.
Shen Chen understood, and then said: "Did you feel very uncomfortable when you saw her being intimate with others, wishing to snatch her over, hide her, and only smile at you from now on, yes Are you gentle alone?"
Cangwu Jingyuan coughed lightly in embarrassment, but still nodded.
Shen Chen pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Cang Wu and Jing Yuan with a very firm tone: "Jing Yuan, through your performance, don't you understand that you have fallen in love with Bai Qian?"
"Is this liking?" Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes slightly, rubbing the white jade jug in front of her with her slender fingers, as if she wasn't quite sure about the answer.
Seeing her like this, Shen Chen shook his head and said: "If you really like someone, you must take the initiative to fight for it. Time flies. Don't wait until you lose it before you know regret. In the face of true feelings, secular ethics are actually fundamental. It's nothing."
Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan still had hesitation on her face, Shen Chen put on an unteachable expression, raised his hand and slapped her hard on the head and said: "A firm relationship requires two people to work together. Blindly evading the problem will only deepen the misunderstanding and make the other party farther and farther away from you. I’m done with this, and you decide how to choose.”
Listening to your noble lord's words, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart once again fell into chaos and struggle. This feeling was different from the past. She felt as if there was a seed that was taking root and growing in her heart, which was uncontrollable and uncontrollable. Choice, sweet and bitter.
Cangwu Jingyuan didn't speak any more, she took the jug from Shen Chen and drank it cup by cup, this time Shen Chen didn't stop her.
Cangwu Jingyuan got drunk quickly, shaking the empty jug and pouring the wine into her mouth with her head raised.
Finally, Shen Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and snatched the jug over with his hands, "You've drunk the wine today, heard the story, and told your thoughts, it's time to go back to sleep." Shen Chen said, intending to help her go back to rest, but Pushed away gently by her.
"Your Majesty." Cangwu Jingyuan's cheeks were flushed, with a hint of foolishness, but she said her words very solemnly. She said, "Your Majesty, do you know? I want to be a queen, I really want to... ..."
Shen Chen looked up at her without any surprise on his face.
Before waiting for Shen Chen's response, Cangwu Jingyuan grinned and continued: "But I don't want to be a queen because of the so-called power, I want to be a queen because I have enough strength to protect the people around me. Sometimes, I don't want to be a queen." I know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune to be born in the royal family. Although I live in a high position and enjoy the glory and wealth that the world cannot match, I have to face the fate of sisters fighting each other and mother and daughter turning against each other."
As she said that, Cangwu Jingyuan pulled a bitter smile on her lips and said, "I'm tired of living like this, and I'm also afraid! Your lord, do you know? I'm afraid that one day that person with the power of life and death will come If I am not happy, I will kill the person I care about, but I can do nothing. So I would rather fight with my back, even though this road is dangerous, I will try it."
Shen Chen didn't expect Cangwu Jingyuan to be able to say such a thing at a seemingly young age, and he didn't know how to continue for a while.
"Your Majesty, I know that your mind is not in this palace. You are different from us. We are already in deep trouble, but your heart is at least clear. I know that you yearn for a chic and happy life in the world. I promise you, If one day I become the empress, I will definitely let you out of the palace."
Shen Chen's heart trembled, he looked at Cangwu Jingyuan, who was drunk but looked very serious, couldn't help reaching out to stroke her hair, and said solemnly in a hoarse voice: "I will help you, Even if it's just He Qi, I will help you get what you want."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips again, because Cangwu Jingyuan had already fallen asleep on the table.
Shen Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and dragged her away to send her to another palace, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Bai Qian was not saying a word
Bai Qian, who has always been gentle, uttered such words to herself almost hysterically at this moment, Cangwu Jingyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "So I am so unbearable in your heart?"
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan showing such an expression for the first time, Bai Qian felt a pain in her heart, knowing that what she said was serious.
She and Cangwu Jingyuan have been together day and night since childhood, how could she not know what kind of character she is?It's just that Bai Qian hates the way she hides everything from herself and wants to bear it all by herself, so she forces her, and wants to hear her reveal everything to herself.
But after a few days, she seemed to be convinced of herself, and she had no intention of coming to her for reconciliation at all. Today, she saw that she was worried about her, and she confidently pulled herself to go to the Hongmen Banquet with her. Damn tight!
Thinking of this, Bai Qian was annoyed for a while, she stepped on Cangwu Jingyuan's foot very childishly, then turned and left quickly.
Cangwu Jingyuan is wearing white Shu Jinxiu shoes freshly released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, and Bai Qian left a light gray footprint on her feet before they were warmed up, which really made Cangwu Jingyuan dumbfounded.
Seeing Bai Qian's figure coaxing him away, Cangwu Jingyuan knelt down and rubbed her feet with grinning teeth, realizing that when Bai Qian was really angry, it actually hurts to step on someone...
When you returned to Chaoyang Palace, your lord was playing the qin in the pavilion. The music of the qin was the famous "Lisi".
According to legend, "Lisi" was made by a musician in this dynasty. This musician worked in a music workshop, and her wife was a singer in the music workshop, with a beautiful singing voice like a lark.The two of them compose the music, and the other writes the lyrics, and then the singer sings it. The kind of love is so deep that others are really envious.
However, the good times didn't last long. The singer fell ill later and died soon after. So the musician also died of depression not long after composing the only piece in his life that had no lyrics.
This song is very sad and lingering, Cangwu Jingyuan listened to it, and for some reason, she was fascinated, and there was a rare sadness on her face.
Ever since Cangwu Jingyuan stepped into the courtyard, Shen Chen had noticed it. Seeing her sad face and vacant eyes, he said, "It's rare to see you have such an emotional side, but do you have someone in mind?"
When she regained her senses, Cangwu Jingyuan was a little surprised that she would be dragged out of all kinds of past memories by the sound of the piano. Hearing Shen Chen's ridicule, her face returned to normal again, deliberately avoiding his favorite person, and said with a smile: "It can only be said that your qin art is so superb that it is difficult for people not to indulge in it."
"You are the only one who can talk." Shen Chen glanced at Cangwu Jingyuan, patted the seat beside him and said, "Didn't you clamor to learn the piano last night? Come and sit down!"
After Cangwu Jingyuan sat down, the noble gentleman stroked the strings with his ten fingers, and the simple and clear sounds of the piano were played.
As soon as the piano score was finished, Shen Chen pushed the piano in front of Jing Yuan and said, "You are young, it's time for you to be full of vigor, and you should not listen to this kind of mourning song in the future. You should see clearly, come and try."
"It's not that you talk about this kind of song that hurts spring and autumn all day long." Cangwu Jingyuan curled her lips, thinking that Shen Chen's fingering just now was very clumsy and unfamiliar with plucking the strings, and refused to admit that the song caused her mind.
Your lord didn't point it out, just said: "I have experienced love and hate, and I am not so attached to these things, so I played this song with a normal heart, but I didn't expect you, the fourth princess, to have such an emotional look."
"You think everyone is as hard-hearted as you." Cangwu Jingyuan retorted, but Shen Chen continued to make fun of himself, so he changed the subject and told him about Cangwu Lingxue's invitation to dinner.
"With Bachelor Bai here, I'm afraid Cangwu Lingxue won't be able to come up with anything. By the way, I heard that the food in Zuixianlou is good." After finishing speaking, Shen Chen rolled up his sleeves and stood up, pointing to the table The exquisite golden nanmuqin said: "The queen gave it to me. I don't need it, so I will give it to you! Practice this piece of piano music today, and play it to me tomorrow." After explaining a word, Shen Chen turned and left up.
Looking at Shen Chen's back, the corners of Cangwu Jingyuan's lips couldn't help twitching. This man looks gentle and refined, but he's really ruthless!Zuixianlou, tsk tsk!Although the food there is famous in the whole Cangwu Kingdom, but the price can make many dignitaries discouraged.

Chapter 29
After the morning class on the second day, Cangwu Lingxue and Bai Qian went directly to the gate of the palace.
Although Cangwu Lingxue, who is responsible for paying the money this time, has already booked a restaurant in Beijing, she still wants to ask Cangwu Jingyuan for their opinions and asks: "I heard that the food in Yuhua Pavilion in Beijing is delicious. Very good, what do you think of the fourth sister of Bachelor Bai, where do you want to go?"
Hearing the words Yuhua Pavilion, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help but slander in her heart. Now the palace side and servants only have so much money every month, and it's gone when they usually take care of the servants and buy some things, so they Many of them do some business with some spare money on hand, and they will be able to have a lot of money after a month.
Others don't know whose business is behind the Yuhua Pavilion, but Cangwu Jingyuan, who has been reborn once, knows very well that the Yuhua Pavilion was opened by Cangwu Lingxue's father, Chen Lurong, outside the palace. Treating yourself to a meal is a cliché, and you are not willing to spend money. You are really shrewd.
Thinking of this, Cangwu Jingyuan said: "Although the food in Yuhua Pavilion is pretty good, it's a long way from the palace! Jing Yuan's health has never been very good, how about choosing a nearby restaurant for a light meal?"
The corners of Cangwu Lingxue's lips couldn't help twitching, Yuhua Pavilion is only a joss stick drive from here in a carriage, how can it be that far, but since she said so, Cangwu Lingxue can't refute her meaning , said with a smile: "Then, do the four princesses have something they like?"
Cangwu Jingyuan pondered for a moment and smiled, "I've heard that the dishes in Zuixianlou are very delicious, why don't we go there and have a taste?"
This time, the corners of Cangwu Lingxue's lips twitched even more, but she had already let out a treat to thank Cangwu Jingyuan, and now that Bai Qian couldn't lose face by being by the side, she could only nod and let the coachman take her. Follow them all the way to the direction of Zuixianlou.
Although Cangwu Jingyuan is not extremely intelligent, she has lived two lifetimes anyway, and it is not difficult to deal with Cangwu Lingxue, and all kinds of doubts and clichés about her are evaded completely in circles.
Although there were constant conversations on the table, the movements of Cangwu Jingyuan's subordinates picking up vegetables were not slow at all.
Speaking of which, Zuixianlou can be regarded as the top restaurant listed in Beijing. The top-notch daughter red, hot and sour southern milk squirrel fish, delicious casserole glutinous rice crab, and pearl tofu soup that melt in the mouth have always been very good for food. The enthusiastic Cangwu Jingyuan tasted plates of top-notch food, and it was a feast for her.
Cangwu Jingyuan patted her chubby belly contentedly after eating a meal in the morning until the sun was in the sky, smiled and waved to the elegantly dressed waitress: "I'll take another four-treasure platter away with me."
After finishing speaking, Cangwu Jingyuan turned her head to look at Cangwu Lingxue, who didn't seem to have a very good face, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Third Sister, for your kind hospitality today. If there is nothing else, I'll go back with Xueshi Bai first. It’s too full to digest.” He burped vividly as he spoke.
Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan looked like a rascal, even Cangwu Lingxue, who had always been reserved in front of outsiders, couldn't help but turn pale, and bowed to them without saying a word, as if she was seeing off the guests.
Walking side by side with Bai Qian and just stepped out of the Zuixian Building, Cangwu Jingyuan was thinking about whether to take this opportunity to invite Bai Qian to go shopping to ease the conflict between the two, but Bai Qian still cared about everything yesterday and directly shirked the palace. If there was something else to do, he turned around and left first.
In the next few days, because Cangwu Jinxiu was still in confinement, Cangwu Lingxue spent a lot of money to invite Cangwu Jingyuan to eat and drink, and her face was dark all day long, so she didn't find Cangwujing for the time being. Yuan discusses poetry, so Cangwu Jingyuan rarely spends a few days of leisurely life. Of course, it would be better if Bai Qian could not keep a look of retreating three feet with her...
Early this morning, after the morning class, Cangwu Jingyuan practiced sword in the courtyard as usual, and when she was getting excited, Luhe came over with a food box.
Lu He put a bowl of lily and white fungus porridge on the table with a happy face, and said with a smile: "Princess." Let's have some breakfast. "
Putting away the long sword, Cangwu Jingyuan looked at Luhe's joyful eyes, took a sip of the porridge she handed her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you so happy?"
"Princess, don't you know yet? The second prince is back!" Lu He said with an unconcealable excitement on her face. For all the maids in the palace, she is extremely handsome, gentle and elegant, with superb medical skills, and treats servants well. The second prince, who is not the slightest bit of airs, is like the lover in their dreams. Now that the second prince has returned from a trip outside the womb, they must be very happy.
Cangwu Lingyu, Cangwu Jingyuan fell into the memory, her second elder brother always liked freedom and acted informally. She had been traveling outside before, and thought that he would never return to the palace for the rest of her life.It's just that there is an undercurrent in this palace now, and I don't know whether he will be able to help him after he returns, or will become a stumbling block.
"Princess, are you unhappy?" Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan hadn't spoken, Lu He asked with some concern. Recently, her master often showed such an expression when no one was around, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. Miss Bai Qian came over to chat and laugh with her, but she hadn't been seen for a few days.
"I don't know what Miss Bai is doing, and she doesn't come to look for the princess anymore." Thinking of this, Lu He couldn't help but say.
"Of course she doesn't have time to come to your princess."
Lu He looked at Cangwu Jingrui who was coming from outside the courtyard, and was slightly taken aback, then blessed her body and said: "See the fifth prince."
Cangwu Jingrui waved his hand, and said in a sour tone: "Cangwu Lingyu went to look for Bai Qian as soon as he came back. I heard that they didn't go back to his palace all night. They are lonely men and widows, and they don't know... "
"Cangwu Jingrui!" Cangwu Jingyuan frowned and interrupted him: "You don't know who Bai Qian is. The two of them have always had a good relationship. So what if we haven't seen each other for many years? Don't you want to?" Belly sinister heart of a gentleman."
"What day do you need to talk by candlelight?"
After the blunt words were finished, Cangwu Jingrui suddenly noticed that Cangwu Jingyuan's face darkened, and she curled her lips and said, "Yes, yes, you are a gentleman, and we are all villains."
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan who was clearly worried but still pretending to be disapproving, Cangwu Jingrui couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart, just pretend, when Bai Qian runs off with others, you won't even have time to cry.
Cangwu Jingyuan cast a glance at Cangwu Jingrui and didn't make another sound. After drinking the porridge, she continued to practice sword as if she didn't care.
Seeing that Cangwu Jingrui came here and failed to pull Cangwu Jingyuan into the water to deal with Cangwu Lingyu with his own enemy, he suddenly felt bored and left sullenly.
The author has something to say: Should the title of this chapter be called The Return of the Rival in Love? 233333
Chapter 30
Seeing Cangwu Jingrui's leaving back, Cangwu Jingyuan stopped swinging the sword and frowned slightly.
Even though she said that to Cangwu Jingrui just now, she was still uneasy in her heart, and after some hesitation, she decided to go to Bai Qian's place to have a look.
As a result, as soon as I walked all the way to Beigong Garden, I heard a faint cry from behind the rockery.
Hearing some familiar voices, Cangwu Jingyuan walked over to find out what happened, although she was concerned about Bai Qian, but when she probed, she saw Lu He was squatting behind Jiashan, covering her face, crying very aggrieved.
"Lvhe?" Cangwu Jingyuan walked forward in three steps and two steps, pulled up Lvhe who was squatting on the ground, looked at her face wet with tears, and said in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Lu He didn't expect Cangwu Jingyuan to appear here, so she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and forced a smile, "No, it's nothing, the servant accidentally fell, and it hurt so much that I cried. "
Looking at the half of Lu He's cheek that was intentionally hidden, I saw several bright fingerprints on the originally fair face, and the whole half of the face was swollen, Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes and said coldly: "You fell Can you still get a slap on the face with a fall? Who hit it?"
Anger rose in Cangwu Jingyuan's heart. Lvhe has always been loyal to her side. When she was left out in the past, she even took her to endure hardships. Others entered the palace for the pursuit of glory and wealth. Only Lvhe was with her. After her biological father passed away and all the maids were gone, they still stayed by her side wholeheartedly.
For Cangwu Jingyuan, Luhe's identity is no longer as simple as a maid, but more inclined to her relatives. Now that she is being beaten, how can she bear this tone?
Seeing that Luhe was holding tears and did not speak, Cangwu Jingyuan sneered. After she was the daughter of a noble, the only one who dared to blatantly move the people around her was Cangwu Jinxiu. Thinking of Cangwujing Yuan took Lu He to the direction of Cangwu Jinxiu bedroom.
Sensing Cangwu Jingyuan's intentions, Luhe's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly grabbed Cangwu Jingyuan's sleeve and said, "Princess, princess, the slaves are rough and fleshy, it doesn't matter if you get hit twice, princess please Don't start a dispute with the eldest princess because of the slave, and the one who beat the slave is the maid next to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess did not beat the slave herself."
Even at this time, Luhe still thought of her, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart softened, and after reassuring Luhe and telling her that she would not mess around, she took Luhe straight to Cangwu Jinxiu's dormitory.
In the Jinxiu Pavilion of Fenghua Palace, Cangwu Jinxiu was leaning on the beauty couch, asking the little maid to paint her nails with Impatiens juice.
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan pull Luhe in, Cangwu Jinxiu didn't get up, looked at the two with a strange look, and said, "What kind of wind is blowing today, it actually brought fourth sister here."
Cangwu Jingyuan sneered and said, "Cangwu Jinxiu, it seems that you haven't been locked up enough yet! Did you instruct the maid to beat Luhe?"
Cangwu Jinxiu sneered when she heard the words: "So what if it is, so what if it's not, as a dignified princess, can I teach this servant a lesson and still need to report to you?"
"Of course it's not necessary." Cangwu Jingyuan sneered, walked up to Lanqin, a close maid who was standing beside Cangwu Jinxiu with a face full of pride and disdain, and slapped her twice with her hands raised.
Cangwu Jingyuan has been practicing martial arts for some time, and the strength in her hands is naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary court lady. With two slaps, Lan Qin's body was unstable and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, her face swelled instantly, her lips The horn also overflowed with some blood, and immediately covered his face and pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan and cried, "How dare you hit me?"
Looking coldly at the court lady who was sitting on the ground without realizing the status quo at all, Cangwu Jingyuan sneered and said, "Your master doesn't seem to have taught you what it means to be a slave! How dare you offend me!" Another two slaps.
This time, Cangwu Jingyuan's attack was so powerful that the maid couldn't bear it and passed out directly.
Seeing this, Cangwu Jinxiu threw the porcelain bowl containing Impatiens flower juice to the ground, stood up and pointed at Cangwu Jingyuan's nose and screamed, "Cangwu Jingyuan, don't bully people too much!"
Cangwu Jingyuan waved away Cangwu Jinxiu and pointed at her hand, approached a few steps with dark eyes, and spoke in an extremely cold tone, "What? You weren't the emperor just now, you personally said that it is only natural for the master to teach the servants a lesson. Is it something? The Royal Sister, the personal maid, dares to commit disrespect to the princess, and she can be killed with a stick!"
Seeing Cangwu Jingyuan showing such an expression to her for the first time, Cangwu Jinxiu felt a chill in his heart, and he froze on the spot, unable to say a word.
Seeing Cangwu Jinxiu's dazed look, Cangwu Jingyuan moved closer, reached out and patted Cangwu Jinxiu's stiff shoulder, and said in a cold and sullen voice: "I, Cangwu Jingyuan, have no other great skills, but I like to protect my weaknesses. , and always do things without considering the consequences, if a similar thing happens next time and annoys me, Jing Yuan can't guarantee that she will do something out of the ordinary, the eldest princess should do it for herself."
After saying a word, Cangwu Jingyuan took Lu He and turned around and left Cangwu Jinxiu's bedroom.
Following Cangwu Jingyuan out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, Lu He was both moved and worried, stepped forward and knelt down in front of Cangwu Jingyuan, crying, "Your maidservant is not worthy of a princess."
Cangwu Jingyuan helped Luhe up, and said solemnly: "You are the person by my side, and I won't let you be wronged for a day when I'm here. Besides, if I can't even protect you, why don't you How do you protect others?"
Luhe's face was injured, Cangwu Jingyuan naturally couldn't leave her alone.He took her back to the palace and applied medicine on her face, and was caught by Shen Chen to practice swordsmanship all afternoon, and was busy until the evening when Cangwu Jingyuan finally got away, so the idea of going to see Bai Qian came up again.
Arriving at Xueyang Palace, Cangwu Jingyuan deliberately didn't let anyone inform her, and went straight in, but before reaching the inner courtyard, she heard the crisp sound of swords and swords intersecting, as well as white and shallow laughter.
Cangwu Jingyuan paused, then walked a few minutes closer, and saw Bai Qian and Cangwu Lingyu fighting swords under the shade of green bamboo in the courtyard.
Cangwu Lingyu was defeated by a small margin in a competition, but there was no trace of annoyance on his face. Instead, he said something to Bai Qian with warm eyes and a clear smile. When Bai Qian heard it, he bent down with a sword Waisted.Cangwu Lingyu also smiled, stretching out his hand to help Bai Qian brush away the leaves that fell in her hair.
The man was extremely handsome and gentle as jade, while the woman's black hair was like ink and her smile was like a flower. In the originally harmonious scene, Cangwu Jingyuan found it extremely dazzling.
Pulling the corner of her lips with difficulty, Cangwu Jingyuan turned and left the courtyard.
Chapter 31
Looking at the shadows cast by the cold moonlight on the ground, the smile that Cangwu Jingyuan maintained on her lips finally turned into a wry smile.
She should be happy, shouldn't she?Cangwu Lingyu and Bai Qian are both talented and beautiful ladies. Cangwu Lingyu is free and easy, and Bai Qian is full of talent and shocking talent. If two people like this stand together, no one will be afraid when they see each other. I can't help but say "golden boy and jade girl".
What's more, her second brother is free and easy by nature, he is not like himself, he has too many secrets and shackles that cannot be revealed to others.He will not make Bai Qian worry, let her think wildly, and will not make her wait, he is fully capable of protecting her for the rest of her life, taking her away from right and wrong, and enjoying a lifetime of happiness.
And what about myself?It will only make her sad, make her get hurt again and again in order to protect herself, and even die in front of him suffering from the pain of gouging out her heart.She just wants her to wait hopelessly for herself and trust herself.
"Why, Cangwu Jingyuan, why are you?" Cangwu Jingyuan murmured to herself, feeling sad in her heart.
Sure enough, the second brother is more suitable for her. If Bai Qian really changes his mind in the future, maybe he should really let go.
But why, thinking that Bai Qian will be with others in the future, thinking that she will look at other people affectionately with her eyes, and whisper the other person's name over and over again, my heart hurts so much?Even if he wins the throne and avenges himself in the end, but if Bai Qian is not around at that time, then what's the point of all this?
Cangwu Jingyuan gave a wry smile and suddenly felt very tired, not only physically, but also emotionally.
Since her rebirth, she has been thinking about how to deal with the conspiracies and tricks around her every day, and how to implement her plan without being discovered.
She wants to be nice to Bai Qian, because she remembers how Bai Qian stayed by her side affectionately and forbearingly in her previous life, how she still cared about herself after being disfigured, and how she blocked that sword for herself dripping with blood, but Bai Qian now Qian has no such memories.
Bai Qian doesn't have those unbearable memories, and she doesn't have those long nights of crying and cursing grief. She should have been like this, proud of her youth, admired by thousands of people, with a bright future, advising the country in her best years, and then Looking for a handsome young man to live a warm and beautiful life.
Maybe she was the unnecessary accident!
Cangwu Jingyuan returned to Chaoyang Palace with chaotic thoughts all the way, and was stopped by Cangwu Jingrui as soon as she stepped into the palace gate. But Cangwu Jingrui grabbed the sleeve.
Cangwu Jingrui looked at Cangwu Jingyuan's pale face, and asked in surprise, "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you, you look so ugly?"
"I'm fine, why are you looking for me?" Cangwu Jingyuan restrained her emotions a bit, looked at Cangwu Jingrui and said indifferently.
Cangwu Jingrui hesitated and said: "Isn't Cangwu Lingyu at Sister Bai's? I'm sure I can't beat him alone. I don't want to ask you to drive that apprentice back to my palace."
Cangwu Jingyuan smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Don't go, let's not bother her anymore, let her go."
When he returned to his dormitory, Cangwu Jingyuan only felt very tired, but when he closed his eyes, all the beautiful pictures of Bai Qian and Cangwu Lingyu getting along appeared in his mind. The originally beautiful picture is like an annoying mosquito at this moment, making her very irritable.
Cangwu Jingyuan closed her eyes forcefully, then stood up and practiced her sword.
However, she was not the only one who was lonely and frustrated. When Cangwu Jingyuan passed by the pavilion, she saw Shen Chen sitting in the pavilion drinking alone, with white clothes and black hair, bare feet, like an exile.
"It's no wonder the empress always wants to keep you in the palace." Cangwu Jingyuan put away her sword and sat down beside Shen Chen consciously. She reached out to pick up a jade wine glass, picked up the jug and poured a glass for herself liquor.
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her head and poured down the wine in the glass in one gulp, feeling refreshed all over the body. The wine was clear and bitter, and after swallowing, the fragrance remained on her lips and teeth, "Your gentleman, this wine is really good."
"Can I make it well?" Shen Chen also took a sip of the drink, with a few strands of loose black hair hanging down on his chest, he was even more charming than a woman.
"Does this wine have a name?" Cangwu Jingyuan poured another glass.
Shen Chen played with the wine glass lazily, unable to tell whether it was joking or serious, and said: "This wine is called 'Love does not know where it starts, and it goes deep.'"
"You lied to me again, how could anyone give such a long name to a jar of wine?" Cangwu Jingyuan shook her head, signaling that she didn't believe him.
"What did I lie to you for?" Shen Chen sat up slightly, and said with nostalgia and emotion in his eyes: "Your father married this name."
"Father..." Thinking of him, Cangwu Jingyuan couldn't help feeling a little sad. To cover up, she raised her head to look at Shen Chen: "My lord, tell me the story between you and my father."
I thought that Shen Chen would refuse, but he seemed to be in a very good mood tonight, he gave a low laugh and did not refuse.
He raised his head and drank the rest of the wine in the cup, Shen Chen said slowly: "Your father and I met in this palace, I never thought that in this cage-like deep palace, there are still people who can Comfort my heart, relieve my lovesickness. If making a deal with the empress is the first thing I do not regret in my life, then meeting and getting to know your father is the second thing."
When did you fall in love with He Qi?Love at first sight or love over time?
I still remember that when he first entered the palace, he was still thinking about the chic and happy outside the palace walls, and he had trouble sleeping and eating almost every day, until one day he wandered to a separate hall, which was dilapidated and deserted, but a peach tree in the courtyard was in full bloom. It was so romantic, he couldn't hold it back for a while, and danced his sword amidst the falling flowers.
After the dance, he turned around and saw a man in a fine attire standing behind him, as if fascinated by it.
"Your sword dance is so good!" The man was half envious and half admiring. This was the first person in the palace who showed his favor to him without making him feel disgusted. Chen actually stayed to talk with him, and that day he knew the name of this person——He Qi.
The relationship that followed went smoothly. They used to sneak around the lake in private, visit temple fairs, and also went on night tours with candles and fell asleep on their feet.
He Qi is a very gentle person, perhaps because of his humble status, he is not favored by the queen, he always has a very humble smile on his face, which makes people want to protect him, but after getting in touch with him, he is found to be a A person who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside looks weak, but is actually very tough on the inside.
In the beginning, the two were just dancing swords and playing the piano, and they gradually turned into bedtime conversations together. Later, at some point, Shen Chen gradually fell in love with each other. Every time he faced He Qi, he had to work hard to restrain himself. He found love.
Chapter 32 (includes v notice)
One night, when the moon was as dim and ambiguous as tonight, Shen Chen dug out the wine he had brewed from under the osmanthus tree, and the two of them drank while discussing poems.
While drinking, He Qi also asked Shen Chen the same question. He said, such a good wine has a name. Shen Chen shook his head. I don’t know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.”
Shen Chen only felt his heart beat a little faster at that time, he said, how could anyone give such a long name to wine.He Qi suddenly leaned over, he should be drunk, his face was as red as a peach blossom in the spring breeze in March, but he was clearly awake again, because his eyes were sparkling with stars, he lightly Exhaling lightly, speaking hot words of love, he said, can't you hear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink?
Shen Chen turned his head, He Qi's face was close at hand, there was a smile on his lips, but there was a kind of sad bravery and determination in his eyes, Shen Chen was moved, and he slowly moved closer, as his lips When they met, the two were like each other's last piece of driftwood, lingering to death.At this moment, he is not a noble man, and He Qi is not a person in this deep palace. The two of them are just two poor people who want to find a little love and warmth in this world.Even if you know you will be shameless, even if you know you will be spurned and punished, you still have to enjoy this moment of love.
However, the time of falling in love is always so fast and short. Not long after, He Qi was raped by several court ladies and sentenced to death by the queen for adultery. He knew that all this was a conspiracy, but when He Qi suffered all this, he felt that Not by his side.
Having said this, Shen Chen's hands trembled slightly. He tried to take a sip of wine, but all the wine disappeared into the night.He still remembered that before He Qi died, he still didn't complain, but just asked himself to take care of his child.
The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to ask, not being able to let go.Shen Chen has already endured five of these eight kinds of suffering. He doesn't understand why he is punished even if he loves each other, why such a passionate love and such a desperate sincerity can't grow old in the end.
Shen Chen didn't tell Cangwu Jingyuan about these things, he saw that her eyes were stained with sadness, so he stopped, and took her wine glass by the way: "Although the wine is delicious, don't be greedy."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to love someone like you in my life." Cangwu Jingyuan looked at her empty hands, and suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.
"It's my fault." Shen Chen sat up slightly, "But you are so young, why do you keep saying such frustrating words, is it because you are in conflict with your Bai Qian again?"
Cangwu Jingyuan raised her head in astonishment: "You..."
Shen Chen pursed his lips and smiled, raised his head and downed a glass of wine and said, "You are so obvious, even a blind person can see it."
Cangwu Jingyuan smiled wryly: "In your eyes, what is the relationship between the two of us?"
Shen Chen didn't speak, Cang Wu Jingyuan continued: "In the beginning, I just regarded Bai Qian as a good friend, but gradually, I found that I would miss her when I couldn't see her, and couldn't bear to be with her when I was with her." I always want to make her happy, and when I see her hurt, I want to bear the pain for her. Sometimes, even I don’t know whether I like her more or get used to her more.”
"You..." Shen Chen reached out and tapped Cangwu Jingyuan on the forehead, and sighed: "I just ask you, do you subconsciously want to get close to Bai Qian, and you have a lot to say when you don't meet?" I want to tell her, but I can't say a word when we meet again."
Cangwu Jingyuan nodded.
Shen Chen understood, and then said: "Did you feel very uncomfortable when you saw her being intimate with others, wishing to snatch her over, hide her, and only smile at you from now on, yes Are you gentle alone?"
Cangwu Jingyuan coughed lightly in embarrassment, but still nodded.
Shen Chen pursed his lips and smiled, looked at Cang Wu and Jing Yuan with a very firm tone: "Jing Yuan, through your performance, don't you understand that you have fallen in love with Bai Qian?"
"Is this liking?" Cangwu Jingyuan lowered her eyes slightly, rubbing the white jade jug in front of her with her slender fingers, as if she wasn't quite sure about the answer.
Seeing her like this, Shen Chen shook his head and said: "If you really like someone, you must take the initiative to fight for it. Time flies. Don't wait until you lose it before you know regret. In the face of true feelings, secular ethics are actually fundamental. It's nothing."
Seeing that Cangwu Jingyuan still had hesitation on her face, Shen Chen put on an unteachable expression, raised his hand and slapped her hard on the head and said: "A firm relationship requires two people to work together. Blindly evading the problem will only deepen the misunderstanding and make the other party farther and farther away from you. I’m done with this, and you decide how to choose.”
Listening to your noble lord's words, Cangwu Jingyuan's heart once again fell into chaos and struggle. This feeling was different from the past. She felt as if there was a seed that was taking root and growing in her heart, which was uncontrollable and uncontrollable. Choice, sweet and bitter.
Cangwu Jingyuan didn't speak any more, she took the jug from Shen Chen and drank it cup by cup, this time Shen Chen didn't stop her.
Cangwu Jingyuan got drunk quickly, shaking the empty jug and pouring the wine into her mouth with her head raised.
Finally, Shen Chen couldn't stand it anymore, and snatched the jug over with his hands, "You've drunk the wine today, heard the story, and told your thoughts, it's time to go back to sleep." Shen Chen said, intending to help her go back to rest, but Pushed away gently by her.
"Your Majesty." Cangwu Jingyuan's cheeks were flushed, with a hint of foolishness, but she said her words very solemnly. She said, "Your Majesty, do you know? I want to be a queen, I really want to... ..."
Shen Chen looked up at her without any surprise on his face.
Before waiting for Shen Chen's response, Cangwu Jingyuan grinned and continued: "But I don't want to be a queen because of the so-called power, I want to be a queen because I have enough strength to protect the people around me. Sometimes, I don't want to be a queen." I know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune to be born in the royal family. Although I live in a high position and enjoy the glory and wealth that the world cannot match, I have to face the fate of sisters fighting each other and mother and daughter turning against each other."
As she said that, Cangwu Jingyuan pulled a bitter smile on her lips and said, "I'm tired of living like this, and I'm also afraid! Your lord, do you know? I'm afraid that one day that person with the power of life and death will come If I am not happy, I will kill the person I care about, but I can do nothing. So I would rather fight with my back, even though this road is dangerous, I will try it."
Shen Chen didn't expect Cangwu Jingyuan to be able to say such a thing at a seemingly young age, and he didn't know how to continue for a while.
"Your Majesty, I know that your mind is not in this palace. You are different from us. We are already in deep trouble, but your heart is at least clear. I know that you yearn for a chic and happy life in the world. I promise you, If one day I become the empress, I will definitely let you out of the palace."
Shen Chen's heart trembled, he looked at Cangwu Jingyuan, who was drunk but looked very serious, couldn't help reaching out to stroke her hair, and said solemnly in a hoarse voice: "I will help you, Even if it's just He Qi, I will help you get what you want."
After finishing speaking, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips again, because Cangwu Jingyuan had already fallen asleep on the table.
Shen Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and dragged her away to send her to another palace, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Bai Qian was not saying a word
