Yijuan cloud

Chapter 27 Meeting old love by chance
The march was rapid and they arrived at Yehuling at noon.

The [-] soldiers who have been supporting us all the way are separated because they will be stationed here.

Such a mighty team has extremely strict military discipline.

Only the sound of boots and cries could be heard, and there were thousands of troops and horses, but not a single human voice could be heard.

The grass was plentiful and soon only a dark shadow remained.

I looked between the curtains of the car, and for some reason I felt that the dark figure was just Mr. Fan.

The sky was vast and the wilderness was vast, and he rushed forward without fear of life or death, but he stepped into the battlefield with his flesh and blood.

Looking at the vast and magnificent scenery of the grassland, I feel indescribably lonely and tragic.There is a famous saying: Huangsha wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken!What a passion!
Only a man like Mr. Fan in this world can be called a good man who is upright and upright.

The wheels were rolling and bumping constantly, and in my ears I could hear the laughing and jostling sounds of the other three little maids. I thought to myself that I would treat Mr. Fan well when I see him again one day.

He also thought that he didn't know when they would fight, so he just hoped that he would return safely.

Since he was separated from the soldiers, Prince Yi probably lost his courage and stopped riding on horseback. He got into the carriage and was guarded by guards.

The journey was quiet and quiet until we reached Xuanfu Town.

Previously, I thought that this place must be full of tragedy and the people were in dire straits, but after a quick look, I realized that these days of worry were really in vain.

The streets and markets in the town are still bustling with activity, and there are no signs of war.

The previous Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief was killed by the Tatars, so the new Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief led the infantry to clear the way, and the people were all within ten feet of each other.

Occasionally looking at them, their expressions were as usual, without the slightest hint of panic as they had just been kidnapped.

While marveling, I then thought about how many times this border town is invaded every year.

The tribes on the grassland live in pursuit of water and grass, rely on the sky for food, and are short of supplies. They are like the wind in the depths of the grassland. A gust of wind will cause a robbery.The people may have been calm for a long time.

Once the cavalry left, everything continued as usual.Or, start over.

After turning onto a street, I saw a majestic large house with gray walls and green tiles, and it was endless as far as the eye could see.

Everyone got off the carriage and were shocked by the mansion in front of them.

This is the residence of the former vassal king Jing Wang in Xuanhua. It is so large that it stretches for three miles. After the death of Jing Wang, it was abandoned.

Prince Yi was a temporary official and could not find a suitable residence in a hurry, so the emperor allowed him to stay temporarily and ordered people to take care of it in advance.

Tang Shou smiled and said slowly: "Prince Yi, are you satisfied?"

Prince Yi held a folding fan in his hand, with an unstoppable smile in his eyes. He praised him repeatedly and said, "Brother, you are not deceiving me. You said there is a good house here. I was still puzzled. Now that I see it, I know Absolutely true.”

"Hahahaha." Tang Shou laughed, cupped his fists and bowed to the south, saying, "Long live the Lord treats the prince really well, how can he be vain?"

Prince Yi looked at the mansion, shook his folding fan, and smiled more and more proudly.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Tang Shou took his leave and took his people to the town guard office.

The mansion is very big.

Even though the governor of Xuanfu Town had sent more than a hundred people to take care of it, except for the courtyard where King Yi lived, the other places had not been taken care of.

In particular, the orchards, flowers and trees, rivers and lakes in the mansion are somewhat barbaric.

After two or three busy days, I finally settled in.

I am not the prince's personal maid. Every day before the prince enters the study and after he leaves the study, I place the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and then I am free.

Moreover, the residence has newly sold more than a dozen rough servants, and Xianggui is busy setting rules for the new arrivals, and also has to take charge of the prince's affairs. Naturally, his eyes are not focused on the few of us who came with the prince.

It was a very sunny day. After finishing my chores, it was getting late, and I thought I had nothing to do before going to bed, so I walked out of the house and wandered in the garden.

There is a small river running through the garden, and the water waves are clear, reflecting the sunset on the horizon, which is really beautiful.

That day was blue and green, as translucent as a jade pendant. The wind was already a little chilly, but it was full of the fragrance of green grass and flowers.

I just walked along the river, and unknowingly I had gone very far. At this time, dusk was falling, the stars were rising one after another, and a lake not far away seemed to be shining like a mirror.

The grass grows wildly here, it is quiet and peaceful, and obviously there are few people around.

The evening breeze ruffled the trees, and the pale white moon gradually rose, illuminating the dark blue lake.

I carried my skirt and walked to the lake in one breath and sat down on the bluestone by the lake.

Next to him is a large field of reeds.I saw mist curling up from the lake, like mercury under the moonlight, and there was no other sound except the rustling of reed leaves.

I haven't been so relaxed for a long time, and I really wanted to sing a few lines of music, but I didn't dare to open my mouth to sing, so I just let out a long sigh.

Suddenly my heart moved, and I quickly took out the jade flute Cao Yingshan gave me from my sleeve, put it to my lips, tried it, and then started playing it seriously.After playing it several times in a row, Fang put away the flute happily and stood up. He was about to get up and leave when he heard the soft rustling of reed leaves.

I was so frightened that I looked over there and saw a man standing among the reeds, with a strong posture. I don't know how long he had been standing there.

If they were servants or patrolling guards, how could they hide here?He must have greeted me early in the morning.

Thinking of this, my heart tightened and I blurted out, "Who is it?"

The man pushed aside the reed and came out. As soon as he moved, I walked away in a hurry, but I forgot about the bluestone beside me. My feet slipped and I fell straight down.

Fortunately, the grass beside the lake was soft, but even so, the fall was still heavy.

When I stood up in embarrassment, the man had already walked to my side. His expression was indifferent and his eyes were extremely cold. I only heard him say: "You play the flute well."

I didn't expect that it was Prince Yi. In my panic and embarrassment, I forgot to salute. I just nodded in secret while adjusting my clothes.

"You are playing the qin music "Youhuang" from the previous dynasty. I didn't expect it to be elegant when played on a flute."

I had regained my composure and hurriedly lowered my head and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary."

Prince Yi said calmly, "Get up."

After getting up, he was speechless for a moment.

I took a sneak peek at him, and under the moonlight I saw him hidden in black clothes in the twilight night. The silver crown on his black hair was shimmering, revealing his pure white jade cheeks. His long and narrow eyelids were slightly drooped. The image is very different.

Suddenly the wind seemed to start to feel chilly.

I shrank my shoulders, as if I was startled, and said hurriedly: "I have disturbed the prince's purity. Please forgive me, and I will leave now."

After saying that, he turned around, but he asked in a deep voice: "Where are you from Yangzhou?"

The moonlight shines brightly and the river water splashes.

I was in a trance in a small alley near my hometown. The sky was blue and the wind was soft. I was anxiously waiting for Xing'er to ask the doctor to come over.

At that time I had everything, and at that time his life was in danger...how did he end up in this situation?
I said: "He is from Baoying County."

He turned to look at me, his eyes were gentle, then he lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I know a person who is also from there."

Hearing what he said, my heart was pounding and I thought to myself: "Could it be that the person he is talking about is me?"

Then I thought again: "His life is hanging by a thread. He really doesn't know me. He must have known me in Baoying County."

I was lost in thought when I heard him calmly say: "Back off."

I hurriedly responded and left quietly.

Back in the room, the three people living in the same room were having a great time playing dominoes.

Linghua and I have always been good friends, so she turned around and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been? There are new local grapes on the table. I left them for you. You can clean your hands and taste them. They are delicious." "

I smiled and thanked her, fetched some water and washed up, then took a plate of grapes and sat next to Linghua watching her play cards.

Linghua's hand is not a good one, and her chances of winning are not great, but she cannot give up until the last step.

As a military advisor, I, together with Linghua, turned a bad card into something good.

The other two people were not angry and said, "Watching chess without speaking is a true gentleman," but I was acting like a villain.

I ate the grapes to myself and said with a smile: "Then you should be careful. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Be careful that I grab your pigtails behind your back!"

As I said that, I stood up suddenly, stretched out my hands and grabbed her two tender faces.

My fingers were covered with grape juice. They were so frightened that they stood up and dodged. I chased one of them with a smile, but I heard another maid behind me call out urgently, "Sister Xianggui."

In a hurry, I stopped, turned around and stood with my head bowed.

I originally thought that Xianggui came here to say a few words, but unexpectedly, she walked directly in front of me, stretched out her hand and said, "Take out the flute."

I suddenly raised my head and looked at her doubtfully.

She just stared at me coldly with a straight face. When I looked at her, she sneered and said, "Don't look at me carelessly. Baba is quite capable when he is in front of the prince. Why are you pretending to be innocent at this time?"

After a few thoughts, I guessed that what she was talking about must be related to me playing the flute by the lake in the evening. However, only I and the prince were there at that time. Even if there were guards and boys guarding in the dark, it was the same as the prince. They were together, how come she also knew about it?
But no matter how she found out, I just played the flute for a while by the lake, so I didn't break any rules.

I calmed down and said: "Sister, are you talking about the incident where I accidentally bumped into the prince while playing the flute by the lake? Then what sister said does not make sense. I just got up occasionally and played the flute for a while. By chance, the prince was there. Yes, it is definitely not what my sister said, just go over and stand out."

Xianggui snorted coldly and said: "This house is so big, there is nothing you can't do, but you go to the lakeside where the prince has been going every day. You think this place is not as good as Beijing. I have one pair of eyes and one pair of ears, can I hide the truth from the sea? Me?" I can tell you today that you have made the wrong decision! Don’t say that I have the princess’s order not to let you go crazy. Even if I want my life here to go smoothly, I will never tolerate such coquettish behavior of yours!”
