Red plums reflect youth

At the end of the year, a state banquet.

The lights in the Wuji Hall are brilliant, as bright as day.

The emperor and his ministers, the imperial concubine and his family members exchanged cups and cups.King Kashiwu was respected as the most honored guest, and he was seated on the left of the emperor, accompanied by Daqing's Minister of Foreign Affairs—Dianqing Shen Luoshu.

The magnificent song, dance and drama were brilliant, and the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its peak.

The King of Daqing smiled and raised his glass to King Kashiwu, "To thank the King for his respect for the unremitting efforts of the alliance between the two countries, Daqing specially offered a gift to the King."

King Kashiwu also raised the jade carving wine glass and put his left hand in his arms as a gesture of thanks.

The King of Daqing flicked his dragon sleeves and signaled Feng He to present a gift.

At this time, the magnificent and lively silk and bamboo orchestra in the Wuji Hall suddenly muted.

In a corner of the hall, Langya palace lanterns are as bright as snow, and the breeze blows the curtains, dancing layer upon layer.

There is a rare treasure - Wuxuanqin in the curtain of Qian's gauze, and a handsome figure is looming in the flying curtain.

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly, as if waiting for a miracle.

"Ding ding dong dong~"

The person inside the curtain paused for a while and finally plucked the strings lightly, and the wonderful sound of the piano rang out in the Wuji Hall instantly.

Everyone only felt that it was pleasing to the ear, and they were in the air.

Listening to the qin music, King Kashiwu expressed his gratitude to Emperor Daqing with a smile on his face.On the side, Shen Luoshu's glazed eyes flashed a trace of worry.

The person playing the piano inside the curtain is Ziqing, but he hasn't played the "One-Character Song" yet, but the tune of Qingshang.He is still hesitating...

He had already figured out how to play his mother's one-character piece, and he also knew that he only needed to play a similar, but lower-quality tune.

However, when he was about to leave, he suddenly hesitated.Playing it like that...is a form of blasphemy.

Under the fingertips is the black stringed instrument that my mother used to use.He sat where his mother used to sit and wanted to play the piano music that his mother used to play.

in a trance,

Ziqing seemed to have traveled through time to that banquet more than 20 years ago.

The Qiang gauze curtain was raised, and the one sitting among the guests was the mother's obsession.

The two looked at each other from a distance, but they couldn't touch or embrace each other.Only the strings flowing under the fingertips tell the mother's feelings.

"I spend my whole life writing a song,"

It turns out... at that time, my mother had already planned to end her own life, to end all of this~ She had already chosen the ending~

Manjusawa, the red Bana flower.

Weak mercury snow, white rootless leaves.

flowers without leaves,

Leaves without flowers,

Flowers and leaves never meet,

Life and death are wrong.

Meeting is the reflection of prosperity, a faint dream~

Three thousand days of longing in the world of mortals,

Not as heroic as despair.

Manzhushahua spreads the road to the underworld, and the fiery red brilliance ignites the color of the dead country.

Styx Ferry,

Looking from the other side.

As long as I have no regrets in this life,

No regrets, that one-night meeting of flowers and leaves in the dream,

No regrets.

……

A deep sadness suddenly occupied Ziqing's heart. His hand seemed to be controlled by the ghost. His fingers slid across the strings, and manjusawa bloomed like flames on his white fingertips. His life finally despaired. struggle~

The tone of the piano suddenly changed, and everyone was shocked.They have never heard such a song, it is as pure as the rootless white lotus in Tianchi, and as coquettish as the life-threatening poppy in hell.The tune seems to be full of violent accusations, greedy plunder, and cruel sins. However, upon listening carefully, it seems that there is no life, no death, no sorrow, no desire, no desire~

As soon as this song comes out, the world seals the piano.

But at this time, while everyone was admiring it dumbfounded, King Kashwu's complexion became darker and darker.

Shen Luoshu, who was on the side, looked at King Kashiwu, and his heart couldn't help but hang up.

……

After playing the qin, Ziqing was so tired that he was out of breath, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

At the end of the song, the nightmare was extinguished, and Ziqing regained her senses. Thinking of what happened just now, she was suddenly startled...

I actually played my mother's one-character song in its entirety.

Big mistake! ! !

……

Sure enough, as soon as the banquet was over, the emperor sent an order to Ziqing.

When Ziqing was brought to the Hall of Zhaoyi by Eunuch Feng, Emperor Guangwu and King Kashiwu both had serious expressions on their faces, and Shen Luoshu, who had always been calm and leisurely, also had deep eyes.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive.

Ziqing walked into the hall apprehensively, knelt down, and then stood up in despair, as if waiting for the doomsday judgment.

"Are you Liu Ziqing?" King Kashwu asked first.

Ziqing nodded quickly: "Exactly."

"The widow thank you."? !

When Ziqing heard a sentence that was completely inconsistent with expectations, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide, and looked up at King Kashiwu. Seeing that he didn't seem to be talking ironically, he couldn't help but look at Shen Luoshu in a daze.

Shen Luoshu smiled and nodded to Ziqing.

But I heard Kashwu King continue to say: "I have always had a wish, which is to listen to the song played by Princess Modi again. Today, it was really fulfilled by you. I sincerely thank you for fulfilling my long-cherished wish. "

Ziqing nodded slightly, and the stone in his heart was finally let go... It turned out that King Kashwu did not doubt his own life experience, but was grateful that he played his mother's song again.

Just when Ziqing was thinking this way, King Kashiwu said, "You are the heir of Princess Modi, right?"? !

Ziqing was surprised again, raised his head uneasily, looked at King Kashiwu, and then at Emperor Guangwu, only to see Emperor Guangwu's eagle-like eyes were sizing him up.

Ziqing panicked for a moment, not knowing how to answer: "I...I..."

"It's so similar. You and your mother really look alike... oh..." As he spoke, King Kashwu sighed, "If you can understand the meaning your mother put in the song when you hear it for the first time, I will not propose marriage to the first emperor of Daqing, so there will be no more." Then, King Kashiwu paid a state salute to Ziqing, and said solemnly: "Thank you, thank your mother, Princess Modi, she belongs to her I belong to the true God, Allah, not to the mundane."

After sincerely paying the national salute, Kashiwu saluted Emperor Guangwu again, expressing his heartfelt thanks for the banquet. After the salute, the warriors escorted him back to the palace.

After King Kashiwu left, Emperor Guangwu gave Shen Luoshu a meaningful look.And Shen Luoshu stood upright by the side, always cold and aloof, like a solitary ice orchid blooming on a cliff.

Emperor Guangwu sighed slightly, and turned to look at Ziqing's face, which had become kind.

But Ziqing was still looking at him anxiously, because his background had been completely revealed, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

Emperor Guangwu smiled kindly: "There are no monarchs and ministers tonight, only family members. Ziqing, I am your uncle."

"Uncle~uncle~" Ziqing murmured in disbelief.

Emperor Guangwu sighed with emotion: "I didn't even know that my sister had an heir. Moreover, she made great contributions to me. After knowing the cause and effect, King Kashwu has decided not to pursue Yin Cixin's matter. Ziqing, you How can I reward you?"

Ziqing shook her head quickly: "Ziqing dare not ask for any reward."

Emperor Guangwu smiled kindly: "Are you still being polite to uncle? How about this, you are the son of the princess, so how about I posthumously confer your title?"

When Ziqing heard the words, he suddenly knelt down, and Emperor Guangwu pleaded: "If the emperor really wants to reward him, please ask the emperor to grant Ziqing to be a commoner forever."

"Hmph! What kind of reward is this!" Emperor Guangwu suddenly had a sullen look on his face: "Are you distrusting the royal family?"

"The grassroots don't dare." Ziqing said frankly: "This is my mother's last wish. Mother hopes that Ziqing will be a commoner in this life and never enter the palace. I hope the emperor will make it happen."

Emperor Guangwu was suffocated when he heard the words, and looked at Shen Luoshu who was at the side, Shen Luoshu said politely: "What Ziqing said is true, there is indeed such a thing."

After hearing the words, Emperor Guangwu looked at Shen Luoshu, and then at Ziqing who was kneeling on the ground. After a long while, he sighed and said, "That's all, that's all. Let Liu Ziqing be a commoner forever."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

A major event was finally understood, and he was free. When he left Zhaoyi Hall, Ziqing was in a particularly relaxed mood. He couldn't help smiling and said to Shen Luoshu who escorted him out: "Luo Shu, I didn't expect..."

At this moment, a group of courtiers came from the opposite side. They were ordered by Emperor Guangwu to pass the edict. At this time, they were rushing to Zhaoyi's shop to meet the Holy One. When they saw Shen Luoshu, they greeted each other as courtiers.

And when they walked past Ziqing, Ziqing had just finished speaking to Luo Shu when he suddenly became frightened and tremblingly looked at the courtier who was walking away from him.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luoshu asked.

"I heard it again, I heard it again..." Ziqing seemed to be frightened by something terrible.

"what?"

"That time when the gangster hijacked me into my mother's room, the voice of the person behind the bamboo curtain..." Ziqing said tremblingly, "I heard it again just now..."

What? !Shen Luoshu's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the group of important officials who were gradually going away.

It turns out...the mastermind of all the conspiracies is in that team!

……

When Ziqing had just stepped out of the palace gate, suddenly, a guard accompanying him ran up and hugged him from behind.

Feeling his embrace, a warm current surged in Ziqing's heart, and she no longer had any fear.

He knew this man would protect him.

And just now, he has been pretending to be a guard, protecting around him.

Ziqing smiled warmly and said softly, "Qiao Yang, shall we go home?"

"Okay, let's go home." He replied.

……

The whole book is finished.
