Because I would lose my mind because of a person, even when I was entangled with Bai Lianyu at the beginning, I didn't fall into it completely.No matter how much I dote on her and him, no matter how much I tolerate his character and his rudeness, there is still a sense of reason deep in my heart.And the facts also proved that I was only interested in him for a while, and when the interest disappeared, that kind of flamboyant and scheming stuff would no longer be able to catch my eyes.
I will not touch such a thing as love.
When I got older, I went so far for a while.In the past few years, I especially like to recall the past, recalling the days when I was studying in the palace, recalling the indignant past when I first entered the south of the Yangtze River, recalling the scene when my mother was buried, and what I think about the most is traveling with Shen Qingyi back then Interesting things about Jiangnan.
At that time, Qing Ai was innocent and ignorant of the world, just a young man who had just entered the world.The little guy is smart and knowledgeable and always a pleasure to swim with.
But that carefree life is far away from me.
Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other since Qingai left Chang'an ten years ago.It is said that he has been living in seclusion in Xiaozhu Mountain, guarding that side of the pure land for his master.
I also watched him grow up gradually.When she just came down from the mountain, Qing Ai was lively and agile. She was a well-known witty ghost in the palace. The child was free and easy, but gentle and reasonable. The 15-year-old boy is the most fresh and tender, with a sunny and cute smile, which is very affectionate.On the battlefield, Qing Ai has gradually become mature and calm. With his youthful vitality restrained, he is like a sharp blade with a hidden edge, which can always deal a fatal blow to the enemy.After growing up, he is even more gentle and kind, with a sweet smile, which is a dazzling scenery.
Even though it was the same young man, it was only five years, but this lively young man became a calm and gentle young man. Two completely different personalities appeared in one person one after another, but they were both so magnificent.
Just this guy.Also too far away from me.
Recently I am planning to abdicate.Wronging myself has never been something I would do. I am already tired of the intriguing life and want to pursue the relaxed days in my memory.The crown prince is already able to take charge of his own affairs, and I don't need my suggestions. There is nothing in this court that I am worried about.
It's just that those old pedants still don't want to let me go, and they talk to me all day long about things that are inconsistent with the rules and regulations, which makes me burnt out, and I wish I could order them to be killed.
emperor.
At this time, only the queen can freely enter and leave the imperial study.I looked up at her, not knowing what she was doing.There is no relationship between me and her, and the so-called marriage is just an agreement.She betrayed her love and needed a home, and I needed a wife.Our combination is nothing more than what we need.
The queen is three years older than me, and she is a wise and broad-minded woman.She never competes for favor, nor does she do anything out of line, she is more like an older sister to me, always helping me when I am confused.
We have been together for nearly 20 years. Although she and I have no love, we are the closest relatives.
Is the emperor still worrying about recent events?The queen came forward and poured me a cup of tea leisurely.In the past few days, seeing that I refused to change my mind, the group of ministers asked their wife to go to the palace to ask the queen for help.It's just that the queen is unpredictable, so she didn't look for me immediately, but endured these days, and didn't mention it until now.
What is the Queen going to say?I looked up at her.Could it be that you want to be a lobbyist for those old guys?
The emperor laughed.The queen smiled and sat beside me.Your plan is not harmful to me, why should I block it.The concubine is just curious, you have endured in this deep palace for so long, why can't you bear it now?
Bored to the extreme, naturally intolerable.I heard there was something in her words, but I couldn't figure out the deep meaning, so I could only answer along the way.
Chen Qie means that you want to abandon everything here so much, but because of someone?For example, the youngest son of the Bai family?
Why did the queen mention him?I waved my hand impatiently.Why should I give up my rights for that person.It's just a plaything, I've lost interest long ago.
Then why is the emperor so urgent?The concubine thinks that if you want to abdicate, you will do it slowly, so that there will be less criticism from the court.And now you suddenly raise the matter of abdicating, not to mention the court ministers, even the courtiers and concubines are surprised.Therefore, the concubine thought, there must be some special reason for the emperor to make up his mind temporarily.
Where is there any special reason?I said so, but my heart was a little confused.Thinking about it carefully, I did suddenly propose to abdicate, without giving the courtiers any room for buffering.And what made me ignore it and just want to leave here seemed to be a dream.
The dream that recalls the things about traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.
I don't understand why I lost my composure because of a dream, and I don't understand why I miss the old things so much.I have always been insensitive emotionally, so I told the Queen about these feelings one by one.The queen just covered her lips and smiled, and then asked me a word.
Your majesty, do you miss the freedom you had when you traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, or do you miss the people who accompanied you through the various places in the south of the Yangtze River?
I was taken aback when I heard the words, and I didn't understand what the queen was implying.
emperor.The queen stood up, walked in front of me, and saluted.The courtier's matter, the concubine will ask my brother to come forward to settle it.My concubine just wants to ask you to say hello to my old friend in Zhushan for me, for the sake of being a husband and wife for more than ten years.
The queen was born in a famous family, and the uncle of the country is a first-rank official in the court, and has great prestige among civil servants.With him coming forward, the group of old pedants should restrain themselves a bit.
Queen.I got up and called the queen who was about to leave.Why do you want to help me? To be honest, I don't think this matter will do you any good.
Say something disrespectful.The queen turned around slowly, smiling peacefully and kindly.The concubines have always regarded the emperor as their own younger brother, so they naturally hope that you can get what you want.This palace has trapped me all my life, so don't let you be a prisoner in this cage again.You are a free and unrestrained person, you should be free in the world, and this concubine can't bear to see you wasted here.Since I have this opportunity, I want to help you.
The concubine resigned.
I watched the Queen's leaving figure, silently chewing on what she just said.I have never been able to guess her mind, I just feel that she imprisoned herself in this situation, without joy or sorrow, without desire or desire.But what she said today made me feel a lot, and I admire her open-mindedness and wisdom even more.
Fortunately, this is the case.
The author has something to say: I'm in so much pain that I don't want to live. . . .
I feel that my preface is out of line. . .
It can be considered that there is only one extra episode left and it is over. . . .

Without the obstruction of the courtiers, things would not go well.Two months later, when the autumn wind began to rise, I was the emperor who had nothing to do, and the crown prince had already ascended the throne, and I was in charge of the court.
I finally have time to have a drink with Lu Hengzhou in the back garden of the prime minister's mansion.
What are your plans for the future?After drinking for three rounds, Lu Hengzhou squinted and asked.
No plans either.I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.Prepare to rush to Jiangnan before winter.Haven't been there for a long time, thinking about revisiting the old place.
Rarely do you still want to go there.Lu Hengzhou said.At that time, I didn't know who it was, but I felt that the land in the south of the Yangtze River was full of paper, gold and smoke, and wished that the place could be flattened.Why, now I think it's a good place.
The south of the Yangtze River has beautiful scenery, so it is a good place.I countered.At the beginning, it was just words of venting anger, and there were countless things to do.Besides, during this period of time, I often dreamed about the scene of traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, and I also miss the beautiful water and green mountains there.
I was just talking casually, but Lu Hengzhou came alive.He sat up straight, squinted those fox eyes and looked at me, his eyes flickering, he didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he said quietly.
Coincidentally, I only have a place in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful and unusual scenery, and I plan to visit it after a while.How about you and me?
Lu Hengzhou has never behaved properly in front of acquaintances, and he always speaks out when he says it.By the time I realized it, we had already left Beijing Baili.
Forget it, I comforted myself helplessly.I was ready to go, so I thought it was a plan ahead of schedule.
but
Is this the place with the beautiful scenery you mentioned?I stood at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain and squinted at Lu Hengzhou.
Isn't it beautiful here?Lu Hengzhou smiled maliciously.It's all here, let's go up and have a look.
I nodded helplessly and let him go.
I happened to go to see Qing Ai, and I don't know how he has been doing these years.
I have not been to this small bamboo mountain for more than ten years.There are green bamboos everywhere on the mountain, and there is a coolness in my life.Shen Qingai and his master live in Qingzhuju on the hillside, and they can walk there soon.
Because of the sudden incident, we didn't post the greeting card. As a result, just as Shen Qingai was going out, only an aunt in her 50s came to entertain us.This aunt called herself Li Gu, she was the housekeeper here, and she was also an elder whom Shen Qingai respected very much.She is a kind woman, she has no impatience in the face of us coming uninvited, but she smiled and led us to Qinghai's study.
Qing Ai went to practice medicine in the village at the foot of the mountain.Li Gu explained.A few days ago, there was an acute patient in the village, and he went there in a hurry.It's really a coincidence for you, Qing Mi is usually on the mountain.
Does he not go out?Lu Hengzhou asked.
not out.Li Gu said.Ever since she came back from Chang'an ten years ago, Qing Ai didn't like to go down the mountain.The farthest place he has been to in recent years is the village at the foot of the mountain.He doesn't like walking around very much, and he always stays in the study on weekdays, and occasionally goes around the back mountain.
When can he come back?I couldn't help asking.
Not sure.Maybe he will be back in a while, or it may take another three to five days to come back.If you are in a hurry, I will send him a letter and ask him to come back quickly.
no, I'm fine.Lu Hengzhou refuted Li Gu's words with a playful smile.We'll just wait for him in the study.If he hasn't come back at night, don't forget to prepare a guest room for us.
good.Li Gu pampered Lu Hengzhou's forehead.
You guys wait here for a while.Li Gu pushed open the door of the study and led us in.Qingai usually cleans up here by herself, but that day he walked in a hurry and didn't have time to tidy up, it might be a bit messy, don't take it for granted.I'm going to the kitchen first, you can do what you want.
After Li Gu finished speaking, she went out, leaving only the two of us in the study.Lu Hengzhou didn't see the outside, and really looked through the bookshelves on his stomach.I looked around and went behind the desk.
The desk is very messy, there are a lot of rice papers spread out randomly on it, and ink is still stained on the hair on the side. It can be seen at a glance that the owner of this room left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up the desk.
I wanted to go to the bookshelf to see what happened, but an unfinished letter on the desk caught my attention.
The title of the letter is Chaoyang.
Chaoyang is the crown prince's name, but now it appears on Qinghai's letterhead.I didn't know that the relationship between their master and apprentice was so good that they could exchange letters.
Under the unfinished letter was Chaoyang's letter. I picked it up and glanced at it, and found that it was full of Chaoyang's ideas and questions about governing the country, and at the end he wrote a few words about his own recent situation.And Shen Qingyu's reply was just to answer Chaoyang's doubts, because he hadn't finished writing it yet, so I don't know if he wanted to add something.
This is a very common clerical letter. In the past few years, there should be many such letters.
On the other side of the bookshelf, Lu Hengzhou threw a few books casually, he didn't speak, but just motioned me to read them.
It was the prince's teaching plan, and I came to this conclusion after flipping through a few pages.Lu Hengzhou has been using these books to teach the prince.I've read one of them, and it's really well written.
But how did these books appear on Qing Mi's bookshelf?Aren't these books written by Lu Hengzhou himself?
Don't look at me.Lu Hengzhou shook his head, with an expression that I knew it was.I said earlier that I don't have that much ability, but you just don't believe me, you are dumbfounded now.These books are all written by Qing Ai, for this, he has spent a lot of effort.
I was taken aback when I heard the words, and looked down at the book in my hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In the past ten years, whenever I recalled the old things, I always felt that Shen Qingai had a cruel character in her character.When he was practicing marksmanship and swordsmanship, he was not ruthless to himself; when he entered the battlefield, he was not ruthless to the enemy; when Daye became famous, he was not ruthless to his old friends.For ten years, I have never heard anything about him.I thought he was used to living a clean life and didn't want to have too much contact with the world. I thought he was high-minded and self-reliant and didn't want to have more contact with these old friends who were entangled in power. I thought he devoted himself to Buddha and medicine and didn't want to recall the old years past.I made a lot of assumptions, and I kept making excuses for his cruelty and his heartlessness in my heart.But now, the facts in front of me tell me that he doesn't mean to cut off from the past, nor does he want to cut off contact with his old friends.From beginning to end, there was only one person he didn't want to contact.
it's me.
At this moment, I can no longer tell whether I am angry or disappointed.My heart was sore and swollen, and the pain was severe. This feeling was very novel, and filled my letters, making me panic and confused.
It really is here.When I was in a daze, Lu Hengzhou went to the desk again, bent down and tossed for a long time, and moved out a nanmu box from under the ground at the foot of the desk.This kid, who has hidden things all these years and doesn't know where to change, really finds one right.
It was only then that I discovered that there was a mechanism next to one of the legs of the desk, and when opened, a dark hole would appear, and the nanmu box was moved out of the dark hole.
I found this box, but I can't open it.Lu Hengzhou half leaned against the small wooden box, winking at me.It's full of Qing Ai's treasures, how about it, do you want to open it and have a look?
I stared at him and didn't speak, I really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
I said, don't just watch!Seeing that I didn't do anything, Lu Hengzhou became anxious, rushed over in three steps at a time, and dragged me to the box.I can't open it, but you can!Hurry up, I really want to know what makes my junior brother so precious.
How could I know how to open Shen Qingai's box.I was cursing, but I couldn't bear my curiosity, I lowered my head to look at the box.To be honest, other people's treasures are always very attractive.
But when I saw the whole picture of the box, I was stunned again.
This box is very special, there is no keyhole, and the mechanism to open the box is on the lid.The box can only be opened by pressing the 18 yuan relief on the surface of the box cover in the correct order.
And the order of unpacking, I do know.
In the second year after Shen Qingai went down the mountain, we visited a master of ingenuity who lived in seclusion in the suburbs of Hangzhou.At that time, Qing Ai was lively and cheerful, and the old man liked her very much.The itinerary that time became extremely smooth because of his participation.The master complied with my request and invited us to stay for a few days in his secluded village.
That's where the case is done.
I still remember that day when Qing Ai came to me excitedly with a box in her hand, and told me about the ingenuity of this box with joy.When he was excited, he would still dance, his eyes were bright like stars.That's right, he was so happy that even I was infected by him, and at his request, I learned the method of opening the box.
Later, he was probably overjoyed, he didn't pay attention to his feet while holding the box, and when he stumbled, he threw the box out, and he also fell badly.
With just one drop, one corner of the box was broken, and it looked pitted and shabby.
I vaguely remembered that the box with the broken horn had been kept in Prince Sheng's mansion, because it was not easy to carry it when marching and fighting, so Qing Ai didn't take him with her.The one in front of him was probably made by him later.
I touched the box, but when I touched the missing corner, I was completely panicked.
This is clearly the box from back then.
I don't know why Qingqi insists on finding this broken box, and I don't know why he still uses this defective product to carry his treasure.Ever since I entered Xiaozhu Mountain, my composure and calmness seemed to have left me. The facts beyond my imagination were turbulent again and again, and I started to panic.
I always feel that when I open this box, some things will become different.
I'm a very controlling person and I've always hated things getting out of control.But this time, the development of the matter has completely exceeded my expectations, and I am not displeased, not angry, and even have the slightest expectation in my heart.
I pressed the mechanism on the lid of the box according to my memory, and with a click, the box opened.
There are no rare treasures in the box, just some books and letters neatly stacked.I was a little surprised, picked up the two books on the top shelf, looked through them a bit, and found that they were my collection of poems.
No one is perfect, no matter how capable people are, they will inevitably have weaknesses.I thought that I was well-read and talented, and proficient in governing the country and the world, but I stumbled on poetry.I'm not good at writing, and occasionally I get excited, and what I write is only at the level of doggerel.However, I am in a high position, and there are always situations where I have to compose a few poems.Every time at that time, those people who like to flatter and flatter will unconscionably praise my extremely simple rhyme so that there is nothing in the sky or on the earth.
That made me feel embarrassed.
It may be that there are too many things that have surprised me today. When I see these two collections of poems again, I no longer feel surprised.
These two books are very old, but they have been well maintained, so they are not worn out. There are heavy traces of flipping through the books, and there are annotations by the owner's ink pen next to each poem.Shen Qingai seemed to read these two books frequently, and the handwriting on the books was different, which was obviously the result of multiple annotations.I suddenly became interested, and wanted to see how Shen Qingai viewed my clumsy poem.
After all, he is a rare person who does not need to flatter me.
It has always been my regret that I cannot express my enthusiasm and ambition on paper. Whenever I am full of pride, my verses are always unsatisfactory.People in the world have always praised my rhetoric and pen and ink without conscience. No one has ever been able to understand my ambitions and expectations from those simple and straightforward sentences.
This is also difficult for me.
But, until today, I discovered that there is really someone who can read my heart.The vermilion annotation written by Shen Qingai on the book fully reveals my ambition, my ambition, my emotion, and my heart one by one.His layers of criticism described my inner world bit by bit.I'm amazed at how well he understands me, and amazed that he can read my thoughts.At the same time, I also resent myself a little, why I didn't find this bosom friend sooner.
Maybe it's already been discovered.I recalled how comfortable I was with Shen Qingai back then, and for the first time I resented myself for being slow.
The author has something to say: I'm going to throw up what I wrote in the last episode. . . .
As a result, I haven't written the part where the protagonist pretends to be aggressive. . .
Heart tired. . . . .
sleepy. . . .
Broken. . .

I put down the collection of poems in my hand, calmed down, and picked up the letters in the box.
The letters were stacked one upon another in the box, taking up almost all the space inside.I glanced roughly, and there were about a hundred letters.The letter I hold in my hand is a letter from a year ago, and the addressee is my son, Fang Chaoyang.
It seems that these letters are Qing Ai's correspondence with Chao Yang in the past ten years.Qing Ai is a careful and gentle person. He put these letters away according to the year, and put a piece of paper between the years as a boundary.I took a rough look at the letters from the past two years, and found that there was not much difference from the one on the desk, but there were some questions and a simple message of safety.
I took out all the letters on the upper level and wanted to see if there was anything else underneath.As a result, there were more letters than I had imagined, and when I opened them, another stack of yellowed letters was revealed.
Looking at the date on the letter, this pile should be eight years ago.That year when I expelled Bai Lianyu from Beijing, Chaoyang was happy for a while, but the good times didn't last long, and within two months, he became that unsmiling little adult again, even a little depressed and sad.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with Shen Qingai.
I read each letter hastily, but didn't see any clues.These letters are no different from the previous ones, except that the style of writing is more childish, and one can tell that it is written by a child.
I was a little irritable, but I still had the patience to read on.Finally, after seeing the tenth letter, I found what I was looking for.
Most of Chaoyang's letters were for his studies.But the letter in my hand has nothing to do with learning or anything like that.Chaoyang's joy was revealed between the lines in the letter, and it was the first time I knew that my son hated Bai Lianyu so much.Chaoyang used a lot of space to describe the scene when Bai Lianyu was expelled from Beijing, and counted down the number of people as if to vent his anger.At the end of the letter, he excitedly persuaded Shen Qingai to return to Beijing, saying that Bai Lianyu had already left Beijing, so there was nothing to worry about, sir.
It turned out that there was an affair between Qing Ai and Bai Lianyu, I put away the letter paper and felt puzzled.
I picked up the next letter, opened it and read it carefully.Chaoyang's handwriting on this letter was messy and sharp, as if he was in a bad mood.When I looked carefully, I found that the child was furious because of Qingai's refusal to go to Beijing.The words in the letter were fierce, and I changed my respect from the past. I couldn’t help shaking my head and sighing. I felt that I was a child after all, with a weak mind and easy willfulness.
I turned to the next page, and before I finished reading it, I was stunned by the book on the paper.
The student knows that Mr. admires his father, and now that Bai has left the capital, and there is no one else around his father, why does the husband still guard the empty mountain alone, why he refuses to go to Beijing to express his heart to his father.
The husband admires his father...to show his heart...
It turns out that Qing Ai has always reported such thoughts?Then why did he refuse to speak out, and insisted on guarding this empty mountain, alone and lonely for the rest of his life.
I don't understand something, my brain has become a mess.
I removed all the letters from the box to reveal what was buried at the bottom of the box.Those are not valuable things, but the most common folding fans in the market. They are not expensive, but they have been stored in good condition until now.
These are the things that I handily gave to Qinghai to relieve boredom when I was traveling in those years.
At the bottom of the box, there is also a piece of rice paper sprinkled with gold.The paper was also old and slightly yellowed.I already guessed what it was.
It was the set of characters that I gave Qing Ai to him before he left Beijing, and it said that I obtained the characters for him.
In this box, apart from those letters, all the items Shen Qingai treasured were related to me.
At this moment, I have no time to scold myself for being slow.I am clearly a fool!
We all know.Lu Hengzhou stood there idly, holding a book of miscellaneous essays in his hand, and said without raising his head.
What do you mean.If I still don't know that Lu Hengzhou did it on purpose, then I'm really stupid.I just don't understand why he did it.Could it be that if you let me know Qingai's thoughts, will I immediately fall in love with him?
It's just that I feel sorry for my little brother.Lu Hengzhou threw the miscellaneous talk on the table, picked up a paperweight, and held it in his hand to play with.By the way, I will find you a second spring.
I frowned and didn't speak, just stared at him, waiting for his next words.
Qing Ai is so stupid, Lu Hengzhou said.He kept this relationship for nearly 15 years.The master has persuaded him, I have persuaded him, Chaoyang has persuaded him, and even the empress has persuaded him, but this child is very stubborn, he doesn't listen to anyone's words, and just sticks to it.Sometimes, I really don't know what to say about him.
Why didn't he tell me.
How do you let him speak.Lu Hengzhou gave me a blank look and said.Don't look at this kid as weird, in fact, he couldn't be more conservative in his heart.When he first found out, he was terrified. He felt that he had broken etiquette and ethics, and he blamed himself and was ashamed.You are a married man, this alone makes him hesitate, not to mention that you have never shown that you are as good as Long Yang, so he is even more afraid to express his true feelings.For you, he broke the precept of killing and learned military law, intrigues and fights all over, and he is still struggling with self-blame.What kind of life he lived during that time, have you ever thought about it!Qing Ai doesn't want to be the villain of that broken family.He even felt that he was evil if he had such feelings. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he tortured himself all day in his heart. How could he, how dare he speak!Later, I managed to enlighten him and gave him a little bit of confidence, but what about you, you got entangled with that Bai Lianyu again.After a few times, Qing Ai stopped complaining and only wanted to live on memories.
It is my fault.I recalled that after the war that year, Qing Ai was really in a bad mood for a period of time, and after Bai Lianyu appeared, he became even more taciturn.When I thought about his perseverance in these years and his self-condemnation in those years, I couldn't help feeling guilty for a while, and after the guilt, there was still an unstoppable heartache.
I have lived for more than thirty years, but this is the first time I have had so many emotional changes.I was a little flustered, not knowing why I was like this.
You look like a normal person today.Lu Hengzhou probably saw my flustered expression, and teased me.Knowing you all these years, you have always been like a stone without emotion, seeing you like this today is not a waste of time for me, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely have a good talk with Chaoyang.
roll!I scolded, but I had no time to think about anything else.This feeling of surging emotions in my heart is too strange, not pleasant, but not annoying.
I will not say anything else.Lu Hengzhou said with a smile.I lured you here this time, just to show you Qing Mi's thoughts, so that he won't regret it in the future.As for whether you can succeed or not, I don't force it.But I see the current posture, he may not be unrequited love after all these years.
As friends, I still want you to be together.Qing Ai is very suitable for you, if you really can't tell what's on your mind, it's better to meet him and have a detailed talk, so that you can tell the difference.
Shen Qingyu's voice sounded outside the study.He seemed to have arrived in a hurry after getting the news, his breath was unsteady when he spoke, and he was a little anxious.
Hengzhou came back and brought some for the guests.The man looked imposing, but he didn't look like an ordinary person.Li Gu was chattering outside the house.They are in the study now, you should go and have a look quickly.I will remember to come out for dinner later, we have guests today, Ligu will show you off!
The footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, but my heart became more and more peaceful.It was as if the chaos and haste just now had never happened before.
The door of the study room was pushed open abruptly, Shen Qingai with a hasty look stood at the door against the light, frowning at us inside the room.
Time is fair, but it is eccentric.He took away our age, physical strength, health, and ability, but he didn't take away the face of some people.Shen Qingai, who is already in his thirties, has the same appearance as ten years ago. Time has stolen his immaturity and given him maturity, but has not taken back his beautiful and elegant appearance.Compared to ten years ago when she was still childish, Shen Qingai is now a completely mature man.He has the spirit of an adult man, and because he has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, he has developed a calm and calm temperament.He is like this, wearing a light green bachelor's shirt, with high hair, just standing there quietly, it is a sight.
He is still the magnificent little Zhushan son, but I am already an abdicated emperor who is physically and mentally exhausted.
Qing Ai seemed startled by my presence.He looked at me quietly for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that it was me standing in the study.Then he shifted his gaze to Lu Hengzhou, and the brothers exchanged eye contact for a while, he finally regained his composure, walked into the room a few steps away from the halo caused by the backlight.
It was only then that I discovered his unusualness.
Shen Qingyu is the youngest among us.When he was in the army, because of his age, the generals often quarreled with him.But it is the youngest person, whose hair is full of silver hair now, no longer black and blue.
What has he experienced all these years?
The three of us stood in the room staring at each other for a long time.Shen Qingai remained silent, I was shocked by his current appearance, and I didn't know how to speak, but Lu Hengzhou, who was afraid of chaos in the world, looked left and right, his face full of interest.
You two.It was the unreliable guy who finally broke the silence.He walked to Shen Qingai's side in two steps in three steps, patted Shen Qingai's shoulder with one hand, pointed in the direction of me with the other, and said in a serious manner.One is a fool with a low EQ, and the other is an infatuated little stubborn donkey. They are both interesting, but it took so long. They really are a perfect match.
After saying that, Lu Hengzhou walked out of the study shaking his head, and closed the door behind him very thoughtfully.
Although I didn't quite understand what he meant, but this brother is quite reliable at certain times.
When there were only the two of us left in the room, the atmosphere became subtle and ambiguous.Shen Qingai kept silent, just staring at me, and I didn't know how to speak, but I didn't want to just stand still, so I walked around the desk and walked in front of him.It may be because I have received a lot of stimulation during this period, and my mind is really a little stupid. I came here, but I didn't put down the letter in my hand.When Shen Qingai saw the heart in my hand and then the opened box on the desk, she panicked.He gave me a flustered look, then lowered his head.His body trembled slightly, he looked like a child who was caught doing bad things, waiting to be judged by an adult.
Seeing his trembling look, I felt relieved and thought about it.
I am not an indecisive person. After the initial confusion calmed down, I calmed down and gave an answer in my heart, and Shen Qingyu's cautious appearance made me firm in this belief.
An ancient poem says, you must be happy to be happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon.I have been ruthless and cold-hearted for 35 years. No one has ever shaken and warmed me. Now someone understands me and loves me, making me feel at ease and warming my heart. Why don’t I seize this warmth, true and willful, flesh-and-blood life once?
It thrills me just to think that this person will be all mine.At this moment, I am as excited and enthusiastic as a traveler who has been walking in the desert for a long time and saw a spring. I, who has never been loved, finally found a sincere emotion that belongs only to me, so how could I let it go.
What's the matter with your hair?I reached out to stroke the hair on the side of his ear, but like a frightened rabbit, he stepped back in a panic and looked at me with a little surprise.
I had an illness a few years ago, and when I recovered, my hair became like this.After a few more years of raising it, maybe it will be able to return to its original appearance.He said it lightly, but I knew in my heart that things were never as simple as he said.Shen Qingyi used to be as strong as a calf, never getting sick all year round, full of vigor and energy.When did he start to grow quiet and weak, to need more time to rest inside the house instead of running around and patrolling the barracks?
That's right, from the first time he struck me with a deadly sword.
After all, it's all my debt.
sorry.I was powerless to say this most useless word, but it was just three light words, how could it make up for the suffering he had suffered in these years.
Why are you apologizing.Shen Qingai showed surprise.Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, so what does my illness have to do with you?Don't think too much about it.
Yeah?I looked at him and read his seriousness from his eyes.Shen Qingai is really a wonderful person, the more you get in touch with him, the more you can feel his strength and charm.
We fell into silence again, but this time we met each other without words, just like the embarrassment just now.I had some bad thoughts and stepped forward step by step, trying to get in front of Shen Qingai.As for him, he lived up to my expectations and was forced to retreat step by step, finally leaning against the wall, with no way out.
i succeeded
I will not touch such a thing as love.
When I got older, I went so far for a while.In the past few years, I especially like to recall the past, recalling the days when I was studying in the palace, recalling the indignant past when I first entered the south of the Yangtze River, recalling the scene when my mother was buried, and what I think about the most is traveling with Shen Qingyi back then Interesting things about Jiangnan.
At that time, Qing Ai was innocent and ignorant of the world, just a young man who had just entered the world.The little guy is smart and knowledgeable and always a pleasure to swim with.
But that carefree life is far away from me.
Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other since Qingai left Chang'an ten years ago.It is said that he has been living in seclusion in Xiaozhu Mountain, guarding that side of the pure land for his master.
I also watched him grow up gradually.When she just came down from the mountain, Qing Ai was lively and agile. She was a well-known witty ghost in the palace. The child was free and easy, but gentle and reasonable. The 15-year-old boy is the most fresh and tender, with a sunny and cute smile, which is very affectionate.On the battlefield, Qing Ai has gradually become mature and calm. With his youthful vitality restrained, he is like a sharp blade with a hidden edge, which can always deal a fatal blow to the enemy.After growing up, he is even more gentle and kind, with a sweet smile, which is a dazzling scenery.
Even though it was the same young man, it was only five years, but this lively young man became a calm and gentle young man. Two completely different personalities appeared in one person one after another, but they were both so magnificent.
Just this guy.Also too far away from me.
Recently I am planning to abdicate.Wronging myself has never been something I would do. I am already tired of the intriguing life and want to pursue the relaxed days in my memory.The crown prince is already able to take charge of his own affairs, and I don't need my suggestions. There is nothing in this court that I am worried about.
It's just that those old pedants still don't want to let me go, and they talk to me all day long about things that are inconsistent with the rules and regulations, which makes me burnt out, and I wish I could order them to be killed.
emperor.
At this time, only the queen can freely enter and leave the imperial study.I looked up at her, not knowing what she was doing.There is no relationship between me and her, and the so-called marriage is just an agreement.She betrayed her love and needed a home, and I needed a wife.Our combination is nothing more than what we need.
The queen is three years older than me, and she is a wise and broad-minded woman.She never competes for favor, nor does she do anything out of line, she is more like an older sister to me, always helping me when I am confused.
We have been together for nearly 20 years. Although she and I have no love, we are the closest relatives.
Is the emperor still worrying about recent events?The queen came forward and poured me a cup of tea leisurely.In the past few days, seeing that I refused to change my mind, the group of ministers asked their wife to go to the palace to ask the queen for help.It's just that the queen is unpredictable, so she didn't look for me immediately, but endured these days, and didn't mention it until now.
What is the Queen going to say?I looked up at her.Could it be that you want to be a lobbyist for those old guys?
The emperor laughed.The queen smiled and sat beside me.Your plan is not harmful to me, why should I block it.The concubine is just curious, you have endured in this deep palace for so long, why can't you bear it now?
Bored to the extreme, naturally intolerable.I heard there was something in her words, but I couldn't figure out the deep meaning, so I could only answer along the way.
Chen Qie means that you want to abandon everything here so much, but because of someone?For example, the youngest son of the Bai family?
Why did the queen mention him?I waved my hand impatiently.Why should I give up my rights for that person.It's just a plaything, I've lost interest long ago.
Then why is the emperor so urgent?The concubine thinks that if you want to abdicate, you will do it slowly, so that there will be less criticism from the court.And now you suddenly raise the matter of abdicating, not to mention the court ministers, even the courtiers and concubines are surprised.Therefore, the concubine thought, there must be some special reason for the emperor to make up his mind temporarily.
Where is there any special reason?I said so, but my heart was a little confused.Thinking about it carefully, I did suddenly propose to abdicate, without giving the courtiers any room for buffering.And what made me ignore it and just want to leave here seemed to be a dream.
The dream that recalls the things about traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.
I don't understand why I lost my composure because of a dream, and I don't understand why I miss the old things so much.I have always been insensitive emotionally, so I told the Queen about these feelings one by one.The queen just covered her lips and smiled, and then asked me a word.
Your majesty, do you miss the freedom you had when you traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, or do you miss the people who accompanied you through the various places in the south of the Yangtze River?
I was taken aback when I heard the words, and I didn't understand what the queen was implying.
emperor.The queen stood up, walked in front of me, and saluted.The courtier's matter, the concubine will ask my brother to come forward to settle it.My concubine just wants to ask you to say hello to my old friend in Zhushan for me, for the sake of being a husband and wife for more than ten years.
The queen was born in a famous family, and the uncle of the country is a first-rank official in the court, and has great prestige among civil servants.With him coming forward, the group of old pedants should restrain themselves a bit.
Queen.I got up and called the queen who was about to leave.Why do you want to help me? To be honest, I don't think this matter will do you any good.
Say something disrespectful.The queen turned around slowly, smiling peacefully and kindly.The concubines have always regarded the emperor as their own younger brother, so they naturally hope that you can get what you want.This palace has trapped me all my life, so don't let you be a prisoner in this cage again.You are a free and unrestrained person, you should be free in the world, and this concubine can't bear to see you wasted here.Since I have this opportunity, I want to help you.
The concubine resigned.
I watched the Queen's leaving figure, silently chewing on what she just said.I have never been able to guess her mind, I just feel that she imprisoned herself in this situation, without joy or sorrow, without desire or desire.But what she said today made me feel a lot, and I admire her open-mindedness and wisdom even more.
Fortunately, this is the case.
The author has something to say: I'm in so much pain that I don't want to live. . . .
I feel that my preface is out of line. . .
It can be considered that there is only one extra episode left and it is over. . . .

Without the obstruction of the courtiers, things would not go well.Two months later, when the autumn wind began to rise, I was the emperor who had nothing to do, and the crown prince had already ascended the throne, and I was in charge of the court.
I finally have time to have a drink with Lu Hengzhou in the back garden of the prime minister's mansion.
What are your plans for the future?After drinking for three rounds, Lu Hengzhou squinted and asked.
No plans either.I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.Prepare to rush to Jiangnan before winter.Haven't been there for a long time, thinking about revisiting the old place.
Rarely do you still want to go there.Lu Hengzhou said.At that time, I didn't know who it was, but I felt that the land in the south of the Yangtze River was full of paper, gold and smoke, and wished that the place could be flattened.Why, now I think it's a good place.
The south of the Yangtze River has beautiful scenery, so it is a good place.I countered.At the beginning, it was just words of venting anger, and there were countless things to do.Besides, during this period of time, I often dreamed about the scene of traveling in the south of the Yangtze River, and I also miss the beautiful water and green mountains there.
I was just talking casually, but Lu Hengzhou came alive.He sat up straight, squinted those fox eyes and looked at me, his eyes flickering, he didn't know what he was thinking.After a while, he said quietly.
Coincidentally, I only have a place in the south of the Yangtze River with beautiful and unusual scenery, and I plan to visit it after a while.How about you and me?
Lu Hengzhou has never behaved properly in front of acquaintances, and he always speaks out when he says it.By the time I realized it, we had already left Beijing Baili.
Forget it, I comforted myself helplessly.I was ready to go, so I thought it was a plan ahead of schedule.
but
Is this the place with the beautiful scenery you mentioned?I stood at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain and squinted at Lu Hengzhou.
Isn't it beautiful here?Lu Hengzhou smiled maliciously.It's all here, let's go up and have a look.
I nodded helplessly and let him go.
I happened to go to see Qing Ai, and I don't know how he has been doing these years.
I have not been to this small bamboo mountain for more than ten years.There are green bamboos everywhere on the mountain, and there is a coolness in my life.Shen Qingai and his master live in Qingzhuju on the hillside, and they can walk there soon.
Because of the sudden incident, we didn't post the greeting card. As a result, just as Shen Qingai was going out, only an aunt in her 50s came to entertain us.This aunt called herself Li Gu, she was the housekeeper here, and she was also an elder whom Shen Qingai respected very much.She is a kind woman, she has no impatience in the face of us coming uninvited, but she smiled and led us to Qinghai's study.
Qing Ai went to practice medicine in the village at the foot of the mountain.Li Gu explained.A few days ago, there was an acute patient in the village, and he went there in a hurry.It's really a coincidence for you, Qing Mi is usually on the mountain.
Does he not go out?Lu Hengzhou asked.
not out.Li Gu said.Ever since she came back from Chang'an ten years ago, Qing Ai didn't like to go down the mountain.The farthest place he has been to in recent years is the village at the foot of the mountain.He doesn't like walking around very much, and he always stays in the study on weekdays, and occasionally goes around the back mountain.
When can he come back?I couldn't help asking.
Not sure.Maybe he will be back in a while, or it may take another three to five days to come back.If you are in a hurry, I will send him a letter and ask him to come back quickly.
no, I'm fine.Lu Hengzhou refuted Li Gu's words with a playful smile.We'll just wait for him in the study.If he hasn't come back at night, don't forget to prepare a guest room for us.
good.Li Gu pampered Lu Hengzhou's forehead.
You guys wait here for a while.Li Gu pushed open the door of the study and led us in.Qingai usually cleans up here by herself, but that day he walked in a hurry and didn't have time to tidy up, it might be a bit messy, don't take it for granted.I'm going to the kitchen first, you can do what you want.
After Li Gu finished speaking, she went out, leaving only the two of us in the study.Lu Hengzhou didn't see the outside, and really looked through the bookshelves on his stomach.I looked around and went behind the desk.
The desk is very messy, there are a lot of rice papers spread out randomly on it, and ink is still stained on the hair on the side. It can be seen at a glance that the owner of this room left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up the desk.
I wanted to go to the bookshelf to see what happened, but an unfinished letter on the desk caught my attention.
The title of the letter is Chaoyang.
Chaoyang is the crown prince's name, but now it appears on Qinghai's letterhead.I didn't know that the relationship between their master and apprentice was so good that they could exchange letters.
Under the unfinished letter was Chaoyang's letter. I picked it up and glanced at it, and found that it was full of Chaoyang's ideas and questions about governing the country, and at the end he wrote a few words about his own recent situation.And Shen Qingyu's reply was just to answer Chaoyang's doubts, because he hadn't finished writing it yet, so I don't know if he wanted to add something.
This is a very common clerical letter. In the past few years, there should be many such letters.
On the other side of the bookshelf, Lu Hengzhou threw a few books casually, he didn't speak, but just motioned me to read them.
It was the prince's teaching plan, and I came to this conclusion after flipping through a few pages.Lu Hengzhou has been using these books to teach the prince.I've read one of them, and it's really well written.
But how did these books appear on Qing Mi's bookshelf?Aren't these books written by Lu Hengzhou himself?
Don't look at me.Lu Hengzhou shook his head, with an expression that I knew it was.I said earlier that I don't have that much ability, but you just don't believe me, you are dumbfounded now.These books are all written by Qing Ai, for this, he has spent a lot of effort.
I was taken aback when I heard the words, and looked down at the book in my hand, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In the past ten years, whenever I recalled the old things, I always felt that Shen Qingai had a cruel character in her character.When he was practicing marksmanship and swordsmanship, he was not ruthless to himself; when he entered the battlefield, he was not ruthless to the enemy; when Daye became famous, he was not ruthless to his old friends.For ten years, I have never heard anything about him.I thought he was used to living a clean life and didn't want to have too much contact with the world. I thought he was high-minded and self-reliant and didn't want to have more contact with these old friends who were entangled in power. I thought he devoted himself to Buddha and medicine and didn't want to recall the old years past.I made a lot of assumptions, and I kept making excuses for his cruelty and his heartlessness in my heart.But now, the facts in front of me tell me that he doesn't mean to cut off from the past, nor does he want to cut off contact with his old friends.From beginning to end, there was only one person he didn't want to contact.
it's me.
At this moment, I can no longer tell whether I am angry or disappointed.My heart was sore and swollen, and the pain was severe. This feeling was very novel, and filled my letters, making me panic and confused.
It really is here.When I was in a daze, Lu Hengzhou went to the desk again, bent down and tossed for a long time, and moved out a nanmu box from under the ground at the foot of the desk.This kid, who has hidden things all these years and doesn't know where to change, really finds one right.
It was only then that I discovered that there was a mechanism next to one of the legs of the desk, and when opened, a dark hole would appear, and the nanmu box was moved out of the dark hole.
I found this box, but I can't open it.Lu Hengzhou half leaned against the small wooden box, winking at me.It's full of Qing Ai's treasures, how about it, do you want to open it and have a look?
I stared at him and didn't speak, I really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.
I said, don't just watch!Seeing that I didn't do anything, Lu Hengzhou became anxious, rushed over in three steps at a time, and dragged me to the box.I can't open it, but you can!Hurry up, I really want to know what makes my junior brother so precious.
How could I know how to open Shen Qingai's box.I was cursing, but I couldn't bear my curiosity, I lowered my head to look at the box.To be honest, other people's treasures are always very attractive.
But when I saw the whole picture of the box, I was stunned again.
This box is very special, there is no keyhole, and the mechanism to open the box is on the lid.The box can only be opened by pressing the 18 yuan relief on the surface of the box cover in the correct order.
And the order of unpacking, I do know.
In the second year after Shen Qingai went down the mountain, we visited a master of ingenuity who lived in seclusion in the suburbs of Hangzhou.At that time, Qing Ai was lively and cheerful, and the old man liked her very much.The itinerary that time became extremely smooth because of his participation.The master complied with my request and invited us to stay for a few days in his secluded village.
That's where the case is done.
I still remember that day when Qing Ai came to me excitedly with a box in her hand, and told me about the ingenuity of this box with joy.When he was excited, he would still dance, his eyes were bright like stars.That's right, he was so happy that even I was infected by him, and at his request, I learned the method of opening the box.
Later, he was probably overjoyed, he didn't pay attention to his feet while holding the box, and when he stumbled, he threw the box out, and he also fell badly.
With just one drop, one corner of the box was broken, and it looked pitted and shabby.
I vaguely remembered that the box with the broken horn had been kept in Prince Sheng's mansion, because it was not easy to carry it when marching and fighting, so Qing Ai didn't take him with her.The one in front of him was probably made by him later.
I touched the box, but when I touched the missing corner, I was completely panicked.
This is clearly the box from back then.
I don't know why Qingqi insists on finding this broken box, and I don't know why he still uses this defective product to carry his treasure.Ever since I entered Xiaozhu Mountain, my composure and calmness seemed to have left me. The facts beyond my imagination were turbulent again and again, and I started to panic.
I always feel that when I open this box, some things will become different.
I'm a very controlling person and I've always hated things getting out of control.But this time, the development of the matter has completely exceeded my expectations, and I am not displeased, not angry, and even have the slightest expectation in my heart.
I pressed the mechanism on the lid of the box according to my memory, and with a click, the box opened.
There are no rare treasures in the box, just some books and letters neatly stacked.I was a little surprised, picked up the two books on the top shelf, looked through them a bit, and found that they were my collection of poems.
No one is perfect, no matter how capable people are, they will inevitably have weaknesses.I thought that I was well-read and talented, and proficient in governing the country and the world, but I stumbled on poetry.I'm not good at writing, and occasionally I get excited, and what I write is only at the level of doggerel.However, I am in a high position, and there are always situations where I have to compose a few poems.Every time at that time, those people who like to flatter and flatter will unconscionably praise my extremely simple rhyme so that there is nothing in the sky or on the earth.
That made me feel embarrassed.
It may be that there are too many things that have surprised me today. When I see these two collections of poems again, I no longer feel surprised.
These two books are very old, but they have been well maintained, so they are not worn out. There are heavy traces of flipping through the books, and there are annotations by the owner's ink pen next to each poem.Shen Qingai seemed to read these two books frequently, and the handwriting on the books was different, which was obviously the result of multiple annotations.I suddenly became interested, and wanted to see how Shen Qingai viewed my clumsy poem.
After all, he is a rare person who does not need to flatter me.
It has always been my regret that I cannot express my enthusiasm and ambition on paper. Whenever I am full of pride, my verses are always unsatisfactory.People in the world have always praised my rhetoric and pen and ink without conscience. No one has ever been able to understand my ambitions and expectations from those simple and straightforward sentences.
This is also difficult for me.
But, until today, I discovered that there is really someone who can read my heart.The vermilion annotation written by Shen Qingai on the book fully reveals my ambition, my ambition, my emotion, and my heart one by one.His layers of criticism described my inner world bit by bit.I'm amazed at how well he understands me, and amazed that he can read my thoughts.At the same time, I also resent myself a little, why I didn't find this bosom friend sooner.
Maybe it's already been discovered.I recalled how comfortable I was with Shen Qingai back then, and for the first time I resented myself for being slow.
The author has something to say: I'm going to throw up what I wrote in the last episode. . . .
As a result, I haven't written the part where the protagonist pretends to be aggressive. . .
Heart tired. . . . .
sleepy. . . .
Broken. . .

I put down the collection of poems in my hand, calmed down, and picked up the letters in the box.
The letters were stacked one upon another in the box, taking up almost all the space inside.I glanced roughly, and there were about a hundred letters.The letter I hold in my hand is a letter from a year ago, and the addressee is my son, Fang Chaoyang.
It seems that these letters are Qing Ai's correspondence with Chao Yang in the past ten years.Qing Ai is a careful and gentle person. He put these letters away according to the year, and put a piece of paper between the years as a boundary.I took a rough look at the letters from the past two years, and found that there was not much difference from the one on the desk, but there were some questions and a simple message of safety.
I took out all the letters on the upper level and wanted to see if there was anything else underneath.As a result, there were more letters than I had imagined, and when I opened them, another stack of yellowed letters was revealed.
Looking at the date on the letter, this pile should be eight years ago.That year when I expelled Bai Lianyu from Beijing, Chaoyang was happy for a while, but the good times didn't last long, and within two months, he became that unsmiling little adult again, even a little depressed and sad.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it has something to do with Shen Qingai.
I read each letter hastily, but didn't see any clues.These letters are no different from the previous ones, except that the style of writing is more childish, and one can tell that it is written by a child.
I was a little irritable, but I still had the patience to read on.Finally, after seeing the tenth letter, I found what I was looking for.
Most of Chaoyang's letters were for his studies.But the letter in my hand has nothing to do with learning or anything like that.Chaoyang's joy was revealed between the lines in the letter, and it was the first time I knew that my son hated Bai Lianyu so much.Chaoyang used a lot of space to describe the scene when Bai Lianyu was expelled from Beijing, and counted down the number of people as if to vent his anger.At the end of the letter, he excitedly persuaded Shen Qingai to return to Beijing, saying that Bai Lianyu had already left Beijing, so there was nothing to worry about, sir.
It turned out that there was an affair between Qing Ai and Bai Lianyu, I put away the letter paper and felt puzzled.
I picked up the next letter, opened it and read it carefully.Chaoyang's handwriting on this letter was messy and sharp, as if he was in a bad mood.When I looked carefully, I found that the child was furious because of Qingai's refusal to go to Beijing.The words in the letter were fierce, and I changed my respect from the past. I couldn’t help shaking my head and sighing. I felt that I was a child after all, with a weak mind and easy willfulness.
I turned to the next page, and before I finished reading it, I was stunned by the book on the paper.
The student knows that Mr. admires his father, and now that Bai has left the capital, and there is no one else around his father, why does the husband still guard the empty mountain alone, why he refuses to go to Beijing to express his heart to his father.
The husband admires his father...to show his heart...
It turns out that Qing Ai has always reported such thoughts?Then why did he refuse to speak out, and insisted on guarding this empty mountain, alone and lonely for the rest of his life.
I don't understand something, my brain has become a mess.
I removed all the letters from the box to reveal what was buried at the bottom of the box.Those are not valuable things, but the most common folding fans in the market. They are not expensive, but they have been stored in good condition until now.
These are the things that I handily gave to Qinghai to relieve boredom when I was traveling in those years.
At the bottom of the box, there is also a piece of rice paper sprinkled with gold.The paper was also old and slightly yellowed.I already guessed what it was.
It was the set of characters that I gave Qing Ai to him before he left Beijing, and it said that I obtained the characters for him.
In this box, apart from those letters, all the items Shen Qingai treasured were related to me.
At this moment, I have no time to scold myself for being slow.I am clearly a fool!
We all know.Lu Hengzhou stood there idly, holding a book of miscellaneous essays in his hand, and said without raising his head.
What do you mean.If I still don't know that Lu Hengzhou did it on purpose, then I'm really stupid.I just don't understand why he did it.Could it be that if you let me know Qingai's thoughts, will I immediately fall in love with him?
It's just that I feel sorry for my little brother.Lu Hengzhou threw the miscellaneous talk on the table, picked up a paperweight, and held it in his hand to play with.By the way, I will find you a second spring.
I frowned and didn't speak, just stared at him, waiting for his next words.
Qing Ai is so stupid, Lu Hengzhou said.He kept this relationship for nearly 15 years.The master has persuaded him, I have persuaded him, Chaoyang has persuaded him, and even the empress has persuaded him, but this child is very stubborn, he doesn't listen to anyone's words, and just sticks to it.Sometimes, I really don't know what to say about him.
Why didn't he tell me.
How do you let him speak.Lu Hengzhou gave me a blank look and said.Don't look at this kid as weird, in fact, he couldn't be more conservative in his heart.When he first found out, he was terrified. He felt that he had broken etiquette and ethics, and he blamed himself and was ashamed.You are a married man, this alone makes him hesitate, not to mention that you have never shown that you are as good as Long Yang, so he is even more afraid to express his true feelings.For you, he broke the precept of killing and learned military law, intrigues and fights all over, and he is still struggling with self-blame.What kind of life he lived during that time, have you ever thought about it!Qing Ai doesn't want to be the villain of that broken family.He even felt that he was evil if he had such feelings. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he tortured himself all day in his heart. How could he, how dare he speak!Later, I managed to enlighten him and gave him a little bit of confidence, but what about you, you got entangled with that Bai Lianyu again.After a few times, Qing Ai stopped complaining and only wanted to live on memories.
It is my fault.I recalled that after the war that year, Qing Ai was really in a bad mood for a period of time, and after Bai Lianyu appeared, he became even more taciturn.When I thought about his perseverance in these years and his self-condemnation in those years, I couldn't help feeling guilty for a while, and after the guilt, there was still an unstoppable heartache.
I have lived for more than thirty years, but this is the first time I have had so many emotional changes.I was a little flustered, not knowing why I was like this.
You look like a normal person today.Lu Hengzhou probably saw my flustered expression, and teased me.Knowing you all these years, you have always been like a stone without emotion, seeing you like this today is not a waste of time for me, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely have a good talk with Chaoyang.
roll!I scolded, but I had no time to think about anything else.This feeling of surging emotions in my heart is too strange, not pleasant, but not annoying.
I will not say anything else.Lu Hengzhou said with a smile.I lured you here this time, just to show you Qing Mi's thoughts, so that he won't regret it in the future.As for whether you can succeed or not, I don't force it.But I see the current posture, he may not be unrequited love after all these years.
As friends, I still want you to be together.Qing Ai is very suitable for you, if you really can't tell what's on your mind, it's better to meet him and have a detailed talk, so that you can tell the difference.
Shen Qingyu's voice sounded outside the study.He seemed to have arrived in a hurry after getting the news, his breath was unsteady when he spoke, and he was a little anxious.
Hengzhou came back and brought some for the guests.The man looked imposing, but he didn't look like an ordinary person.Li Gu was chattering outside the house.They are in the study now, you should go and have a look quickly.I will remember to come out for dinner later, we have guests today, Ligu will show you off!
The footsteps outside the house were getting closer and closer, but my heart became more and more peaceful.It was as if the chaos and haste just now had never happened before.
The door of the study room was pushed open abruptly, Shen Qingai with a hasty look stood at the door against the light, frowning at us inside the room.
Time is fair, but it is eccentric.He took away our age, physical strength, health, and ability, but he didn't take away the face of some people.Shen Qingai, who is already in his thirties, has the same appearance as ten years ago. Time has stolen his immaturity and given him maturity, but has not taken back his beautiful and elegant appearance.Compared to ten years ago when she was still childish, Shen Qingai is now a completely mature man.He has the spirit of an adult man, and because he has lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, he has developed a calm and calm temperament.He is like this, wearing a light green bachelor's shirt, with high hair, just standing there quietly, it is a sight.
He is still the magnificent little Zhushan son, but I am already an abdicated emperor who is physically and mentally exhausted.
Qing Ai seemed startled by my presence.He looked at me quietly for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that it was me standing in the study.Then he shifted his gaze to Lu Hengzhou, and the brothers exchanged eye contact for a while, he finally regained his composure, walked into the room a few steps away from the halo caused by the backlight.
It was only then that I discovered his unusualness.
Shen Qingyu is the youngest among us.When he was in the army, because of his age, the generals often quarreled with him.But it is the youngest person, whose hair is full of silver hair now, no longer black and blue.
What has he experienced all these years?
The three of us stood in the room staring at each other for a long time.Shen Qingai remained silent, I was shocked by his current appearance, and I didn't know how to speak, but Lu Hengzhou, who was afraid of chaos in the world, looked left and right, his face full of interest.
You two.It was the unreliable guy who finally broke the silence.He walked to Shen Qingai's side in two steps in three steps, patted Shen Qingai's shoulder with one hand, pointed in the direction of me with the other, and said in a serious manner.One is a fool with a low EQ, and the other is an infatuated little stubborn donkey. They are both interesting, but it took so long. They really are a perfect match.
After saying that, Lu Hengzhou walked out of the study shaking his head, and closed the door behind him very thoughtfully.
Although I didn't quite understand what he meant, but this brother is quite reliable at certain times.
When there were only the two of us left in the room, the atmosphere became subtle and ambiguous.Shen Qingai kept silent, just staring at me, and I didn't know how to speak, but I didn't want to just stand still, so I walked around the desk and walked in front of him.It may be because I have received a lot of stimulation during this period, and my mind is really a little stupid. I came here, but I didn't put down the letter in my hand.When Shen Qingai saw the heart in my hand and then the opened box on the desk, she panicked.He gave me a flustered look, then lowered his head.His body trembled slightly, he looked like a child who was caught doing bad things, waiting to be judged by an adult.
Seeing his trembling look, I felt relieved and thought about it.
I am not an indecisive person. After the initial confusion calmed down, I calmed down and gave an answer in my heart, and Shen Qingyu's cautious appearance made me firm in this belief.
An ancient poem says, you must be happy to be happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon.I have been ruthless and cold-hearted for 35 years. No one has ever shaken and warmed me. Now someone understands me and loves me, making me feel at ease and warming my heart. Why don’t I seize this warmth, true and willful, flesh-and-blood life once?
It thrills me just to think that this person will be all mine.At this moment, I am as excited and enthusiastic as a traveler who has been walking in the desert for a long time and saw a spring. I, who has never been loved, finally found a sincere emotion that belongs only to me, so how could I let it go.
What's the matter with your hair?I reached out to stroke the hair on the side of his ear, but like a frightened rabbit, he stepped back in a panic and looked at me with a little surprise.
I had an illness a few years ago, and when I recovered, my hair became like this.After a few more years of raising it, maybe it will be able to return to its original appearance.He said it lightly, but I knew in my heart that things were never as simple as he said.Shen Qingyi used to be as strong as a calf, never getting sick all year round, full of vigor and energy.When did he start to grow quiet and weak, to need more time to rest inside the house instead of running around and patrolling the barracks?
That's right, from the first time he struck me with a deadly sword.
After all, it's all my debt.
sorry.I was powerless to say this most useless word, but it was just three light words, how could it make up for the suffering he had suffered in these years.
Why are you apologizing.Shen Qingai showed surprise.Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, so what does my illness have to do with you?Don't think too much about it.
Yeah?I looked at him and read his seriousness from his eyes.Shen Qingai is really a wonderful person, the more you get in touch with him, the more you can feel his strength and charm.
We fell into silence again, but this time we met each other without words, just like the embarrassment just now.I had some bad thoughts and stepped forward step by step, trying to get in front of Shen Qingai.As for him, he lived up to my expectations and was forced to retreat step by step, finally leaning against the wall, with no way out.
i succeeded
