Chapter 11 Prequel
Chapter 11 Prequel
When Qin Chuan was 13 years old, his name was not Qin Chuan.According to the customs of the Great Yan Kingdom, the daughter of a nobleman is given a character by her parents' blood relatives after she is 15 years old, and this character is also her name.So at that time she was still called Di Ji, at most she was called "Yan Ji".After father and queen mother, the eldest brother went up to the fifth brother, who privately called her Yanyan.
At that time, no one knew that Emperor Bao'an would be the last emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.Dayan has many fine craftsmen, strong national strength, and all the surrounding princes surrendered. Although it has been in the period of Emperor Bao'an, there are signs of decline, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. There are no tens of 100 years. This country will not fall so easily .
Emperor Bao'an and the empress had been married for more than twenty years. The empress and his wife had a deep love and had three sons and a daughter. Although there were many concubines in the harem, the fate of the empress was weak, and only two concubines were born.Xiao Diji is the youngest concubine daughter, she is born very well, and has a pleasant temper, so everyone in the palace will inevitably pamper her.
At that time, Dayan's national customs were open, women were raised as men, they practiced martial arts and literature, and they were proud of being elegant and good at singing and dancing.If someone's daughter is outstanding in singing and dancing, everyone is envious and jealous, which is completely different from Western countries where folk customs are conservative and women are not allowed to show their faces.
Diji has studied martial arts with her elder brothers since she was a child, and because the blood of the royal family of Dayan is different from ordinary people, when she was 13 years old, she was taught rare fairy arts by her husband.It is said that the royal family of Dayan was originally very good at immortal arts, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the past hundreds of thousands of years.In Emperor Bao'an's generation, there was only white paper spiritism left to learn.
At that time, Diji had just turned 13 years old, and she had just learned this nasty fairy art with her husband. In order to summon spirit beasts through the medium of white paper, she had to prick her fingers dozens of times a day. A good piece of skin hurts to the touch.
Just a few days ago, I heard from the Queen that next month my aunt would bring my cousin Xuanzhu to live in the palace for a short stay, and Di Ji felt as unhappy as if she had eaten a fly.Xuanzhu is two years older than her, and she just turned fifteen last month. Her uncle gave her the name Xuanzhu. Before that, she had no name like Diji.Of course, Di Ji never wanted to know her name.
She felt that she had never offended Xuanzhu, but Xuanzhu seemed to dislike her by nature, and would oppose her in every big and small matter.Hearing that Diji practiced handwriting well, she specially drew hairpin lowercase script, showing off everywhere; when she heard that Diji had memorized a few poems, she simply memorized the entire vocabulary of famous masters.It was only when they hadn't met, and it was even worse when they met. Di Ji insisted on saying something, anyway, she seemed to be wrong all over in front of Xuanzhu, and Xuanzhu looked down upon her from head to toe.
In the morning, the task assigned by my husband to transform ten cranes out of ten pieces of white paper could not be done well. If blood dripped on it, it would either jump out of a frog or turn into a crappy sparrow. Throw it on the ground, and go to the Royal Garden to relax in a fit of anger.
Just when the second prince came back from the palace, he saw her angrily sitting alone in the gazebo folding white paper, and Aman looked at her with a bitter face from behind, so he walked over to touch Di Ji's head with a smile: "Why, Mr. punished?"
Diji has always liked the second brother the most. Although she has five brothers, the eldest is stable, the third is gloomy, and the fourth and fifth are concubines, so she dare not get too close to her. Only this second brother is cheerful and loves to play. Ai went out of the palace to play on the grounds of "observing people's sentiments", and brought her many interesting things every time she came back.Diji's eyes lit up when she saw him.
"It's nothing, I just heard that Xuanzhu is coming, and I feel annoyed, and I can't call out the crane." She tore the folded white paper into many small strips, squeezed out a drop of blood from the wound on her fingertip, and applied it. With a bang, the piece of white paper turned into a stupid turtle, crawling and crawling on the table.She became so angry that she threw the turtle into the pond.
The second prince laughed loudly: "Come on, what excuse do you use Xuanzhu. If you can't do it, you can't do it, just admit it!"
Seeing that Diji was frowning, he couldn't help but smiled, and mysteriously took out two scrolls from his arms and put them on the table: "Seeing you are so angry, Second Brother will show you something good. You can spend 1000 yuan if you are outside." Two golds may not be able to buy one of them."
Di Ji was very curious at the time, seeing him so mysterious, she thought it was a erotic picture, she blushed and heartbeated and unfolded it, but the picture was just a plum with bright red petals, the plum branch was written in a chic and graceful manner without losing strength.
She curled her lips: "The painting is very good, but it's not worth a thousand taels of gold, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt the cold wind blowing towards my face. It seemed that there was a light snowfall in the originally beautiful spring pavilion, and a branch of red plum blossomed in the white snow.
Di Ji gasped, and quickly rubbed her eyes, the branch of red plum was still there, and the delicate petals even swayed in the wind.She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but it was empty—it turned out to be an illusion.
The second prince proudly rolled up the scroll, and all the illusions disappeared immediately.He said, "How? Is it worth a thousand taels of gold?"
Di Ji nodded in a daze, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get it? Who drew it?"
"A few days ago when I was out of the palace, I saw a painting stall on the side of the road. There were many people shouting and screaming around. I couldn't help but take a look curiously. It turned out that someone was painting on the spot. This person's name is Gongzi Qi, who is already a famous figure among the people. He has a great reputation, but his temper is eccentric, and he claims that he only paints and does not sell paintings. I have been grinding these two paintings for several days and borrowed them for appreciation. I have to return them in a few days."
Di Ji hurriedly unfolded another scroll, but this time there were no flowers, birds, fish and insects on the paper, but a gorgeous palace, in front of which there were more than a dozen beautiful dancers dancing with golden lutes in their arms.Gradually, those dancers seemed to appear in front of their eyes, with light and charming figures, slender waists, and a very enchanting posture of bouncing off the pipa. Although there is no music, it is inevitable, but no matter who sees these wonderful movements, they can't help admiring asphyxia.
The second prince smiled and said: "This person is young, although he has shocking talents, he is very arrogant. He claims to be proud of his life, and he ranks first in music, third in painting, and fourth in immortal art. Because he wrote half of the "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", he lamented that all dancers in the world have no talent to dance out, so he simply painted it in the painting, and he still refuses to make the remaining half of the que, claiming that no one in the world is worthy of him to complete a que "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song". This is really extremely arrogant."
Di Ji was engrossed in watching it, and then casually said, "Music rhythm comes first, painting comes third, so what's the second favorite?"
The second prince was in a bit of a dilemma, he hesitated and said: "There is nothing to say... just a country madman."
It turns out that what Young Master Qi said was that there are four things to be proud of in one's life.The first is the melody, which can lead to the phoenix and the song, and the white crane dances together; the third is the painting, which can still be fake.The fourth is fairy art, which is just for self-protection.The second one is romantic and affectionate, no matter how indifferent and stubborn women in the world, he has the ability to make them blush and heartbeat before smiling, he is a figure like a fish in water among women.
Of course, it was not easy for Xiao Di Ji to hear such words, so he could only deal with them casually.
Di Ji didn't care, and only waited for those dancers to finish dancing, then slowly rolled up the scroll, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "He really said that no one in the world can finish "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song"? "
The second prince teased her: "What? Could it be that my little sister wants to challenge her?"
Diji raised her chin and said proudly: "Second brother, go out of the palace and tell him to finish "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" quickly, and someone will be able to dance soon!"
The second prince smiled and said: "You really want to dance, right? If you make a fool of yourself, the second brother won't help you, and let the civilians outside laugh at you for the rest of your life."
"I dare say, I will definitely dare to finish the dance." Di Ji smiled lightly, two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Over there the second prince went out of the palace again to look for Young Master Qi, but here a major incident happened in the court.Zuo Xiang has been the prime minister of Yan for more than 20 years. A few days ago, he suddenly wrote an account, saying that he was old and sick, and could no longer serve the king, so he asked to resign.As soon as the book was published, there was an uproar all over the court.Zuo Xiang has been an official for many years, and the official camp is even more intricate, so complicated that he can't explain it clearly. He didn't have any warning to resign suddenly, and the scope of the involvement is so deep and wide that it is unimaginable.
Emperor Bao'an failed to comfort him several times, and he was also worried.Recently, the surrounding area of Great Yan Kingdom has not been peaceful. Tianyuan Kingdom, a large country in the northwest, has been eager to move. Five years ago, it annexed several small countries around the northwest. With a clever strategy, the four countries were destroyed in just two years, and the territory was included in its own territory.
Recently, Tianyuan Kingdom has frequently harassed the border of Dayan. Although it is only a minor disturbance, if one day strong troops come, the whole country will inevitably be in chaos.At such a time, Prime Minister Zuo actually wanted to resign, which was equivalent to cutting off an arm of Emperor Bao'an. How could he not be troubled?
Di Ji still didn't understand the affairs in the court, she was still a naive little girl at that time, but seeing her father was frowning recently, she thought of a way to make him smile.Exactly half a month later, the second prince came back again, this time bringing the complete score of "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song".
"Be clear in advance, if you can't jump out, the second brother really can't help you." The second prince smiled wryly, "That young master Qi agreed very readily, but he said that the song is for you, and if you can dance out, he will give you the song." I am willing to devote my whole life to painting the two best paintings for you. If you can’t jump out, don’t blame him for helping you spread the bad reputation of being overconfident.”
Di Ji lowered her head to study the score carefully, and smiled indifferently: "Then just wait for him to give me two paintings!"
Xuanzhu and his aunt Mrs. Qiuhua came to Dayan Palace three days before the queen's birthday.This Mrs. Qiuhua heard that she was a gentle woman before she got married. As the eldest daughter of the famous family of Dayan, she fully thought that her parents would arrange for her to marry into the harem and become the mother of a country.Who would have thought that Emperor Bao'an was so in love with her younger sister that he directly proposed marriage to her home.So the younger sister married first and became the queen, and this elder sister had to marry into the princes dejectedly and became a wife.
Since then, her personality has changed a lot, and she doesn't like everything. When she heard that Diji was going to dance to the balcony on the Queen's birthday, she said in a toneless way: "As expected of the royal family's first daughter, and those who are petty The style is different, but to perform a dance in public, the common people outside don’t know what to say.”
Diji hated this aunt just as much as she hated Xuanzhu, so she simply found an excuse to escape.Out of royal etiquette, the queen insisted on bringing Xuanzhu to speak together, and the process was simply miserable.Seeing her boredly tearing up white paper and practicing psychic skills, Xuan Zhu was full of disdain: "I thought the celestial arts of Dayan's direct royal family were something powerful, but it turned out to be just a child's plaything."
It's not easy for Diji to turn his face, otherwise the queen will be scolded at night, so she can only laugh dryly: "It's really nothing special, sister Xuanzhu, can you show me anything more powerful?"
Xuanzhu walked away on the spot, crying in front of the queen, saying that she had humiliated her and that she was a prince's princess.Mrs. Qiuhua not only didn't comfort her, but scolded her severely. Xuanzhu was so angry that she locked herself in the room for two days, which made the queen very worried. She really scolded Diji that night.
Every time the mother and daughter came, there was a mess of smoke.Di Ji was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she simply begged her second brother to change clothes and take her sneak out of the palace to relax.Because he heard that young master Qi often drinks and paints by the Huandai River, Di Ji wanted to meet this stranger, so she waited all morning by the Huandai River.
Who knew that this person would come every day, but he wouldn't come today.Di Ji waited until she was hungry, and the second elder brother saw her stern face, so he smiled and comforted her: "I don't understand the affairs of your girls' family, but Xuanzhu has no reason, why are you messing around with me? If the emperor knows that I brought you If you come out, even I will be scolded, not to mention that if you come out, you will have a private meeting with a private man. Just go back today. If you have something to say in the future, let the second brother help you pass it on to him. You are just childish, and you can say it when you let others know What sounds good?"
Diji had no choice but to go back to the palace obediently. Ye Lai slept until the third watch when she suddenly woke up thirsty. When she opened her eyes, she found a dark figure standing in front of the desk by the window. She looked like a man.
She was so frightened that she jumped up, her whole body was so weak that she couldn't even cry out.The man seemed to realize that she was awake, and after a slight sway, it turned into light smoke and dissipated, leaving only a small lilac-colored note floating in the air, before landing beside her bed.A line of words was written on the note: Qing Ben is beautiful, but she disguises herself as a man, ugly and ugly!Don't forget the promise of singing and dancing.Young Master Qi.
Diji couldn't laugh or cry.It turned out that this person had been hiding in the dark watching her during the day, knowing that she was disguised as a man.At one moment, I was frightened by his daring to sneak into the palace alone in the middle of the night, at the same time, I was annoyed at his arrogant attitude of disrespecting the royal family, and at the same time, I felt that it was really interesting and proud to bet with such a person.
She was always daring, but now she had no fear at all, she put the note neatly on the bedside table, and said loudly, "Young master! I'm sure I'll win! Just wait!"
No one answered her, but Aman was awakened, and she came over to serve in her clothes.
Two days later, on the fortieth birthday of the Empress, the ministers were entertained on the balcony, but Prime Minister Zuo was still sick and huddled at home, and only sent his youngest son to present a congratulatory gift.
When Zuo Zichen climbed onto the facing balcony, there was a sudden silence from the chatter and laughter on the stage.He was wearing a long purple dress, with a slender and tall figure, and his Zhilan-like handsome appearance made people afraid to look at him more, and always felt that he seemed to be shrouded in mist and morning light.
Di Ji was originally changing clothes for dancing at the back, but suddenly there was no sound on the stage, so she couldn't help but poked her head to look, and happened to meet him face to face.Zuo Zichen was slightly taken aback, nodded his head as a gesture, walked around politely but indifferently, and knelt in front of the emperor's throne neither humble nor overbearing.
Because he was very good-looking and had a completely different taste from many noble men in the imperial city, Di Ji couldn't help but take a second look and asked Aman: "Who is he?"
Aman has always been the most well-informed on the gossip about these noble children, and immediately smiled: "It's the youngest son of Zuo Xiang, who is usually not in the imperial city. I heard that when I was a child, I met a fairy and said he had a fairy Yuan, I took Xiuxian away early, and I only come back once or twice a year. Is this the first time seeing the princess?"
It turned out that he was a cultivator of immortals, no wonder he was so immortal, he didn't look like a son of a nobleman.
Zuo Zichen sent a congratulatory gift, and resigned on the pretext of worrying about Zuo Xiang's illness.Di Ji watched him walking towards this side, and looked at her with two eyes, as if she was a little shy, she lowered her eyes and dared not look any more.She didn't want to be troublesome at first, but Xuanzhu was sitting on the table and glared at herself.Originally Xuan Zhu blushed when she saw Zuo Zichen, but now seeing Di Ji always looking around, her face turned blue with anger.
Diji's heart was joking, and she waved at Zuo Zichen. He was really surprised, and asked her what was the matter with his eyes.She giggled and asked casually, "What's your name?"
There was a suspicious blush on Zuo Zichen's face.Seeing how high his noble frame is, he must be looked up to and feared by women, who dare not approach him.Right now, a girl suddenly asked him what his name was without paying attention, and he was actually a little shy.
"My... Zuo Zichen. The girl is..." He hesitated for a while, but still whispered his name in a low and gentle voice, which was very nice.
Di Ji nodded: "Zuo Zichen, don't rush away, let me dance for you?"
He blushed again, looking very imposing, why did he blush so easily?Di Ji smiled at him, turned and left.
She didn't worry about such a trivial matter at all, and even forgot about it after changing her clothes.Because she is an imperial concubine and has not yet reached the age of hair, it is not easy to show her face on the balcony, so that the common people outside the palace can see her appearance, so they simply put a layer of veil on her face, only showing a pair of bright eyes.
The actresses all wore ivory-white gauze dresses, and she was the only one wearing a red dress. She had black hair and slender waist, and long sleeves. Eyes are attracted to the past.
At that time, there was a "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" on the balcony of Emperor Jichao, which amazed everyone.Speaking of reasons, firstly, it was to amuse the empress, and secondly, it was just to make a bet with the arrogant young master.Who would have thought that many messy things would be involved later, it was really unexpected.
Xuanzhu's complexion has never been better since she came on stage, and when she finishes dancing, her face is comparable to that of a green carrot.Mrs. Qiuhua was expressionless, she turned her head and didn't know what to say to her. She bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and she lowered her head in shame.
Diji's good mood was ruined in an instant, and she hurriedly offered two glasses of wine to her father and queen before leaving in a hurry.Going all the way back to the original place, Zuo Zichen was still there, looking at him quietly.She smiled again and asked, "Do you like it?" Before he could answer, she was surrounded by a group of actors and went down the steps.
That night, Emperor Bao'an was full of praise for "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", and even asked who composed the song.The second prince mentioned Young Master Qi with a smile, but just to avoid suspicion, he didn't mention the ridiculous bet between Di Ji and Young Master Qi.Emperor Bao'an was thirsty for talent, and since then he sent people around several times to inquire about Young Master Qi, but they found nothing.After Diji sang "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", he seemed to have left Dayan Kingdom, and never appeared again until the kingdom fell.
Emperor Bao'an was deeply moved by this, and wrote the number "Da Yan Musician Gongzi Qi" in his own handwriting, gave him a title out of thin air, and allowed the folk music workshop to privately copy the score of "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" and rehearse it by itself.Since then, the name of Gongzi Qi has been passed down among the people of Dayan, and it has become a synonym for the mysterious master.
When Di Ji woke up the next day, she found that there were two extra scrolls on the desk, and on it was another piece of lilac-colored paper, which read: willing to bet and admit defeat.Young Master Qi.It seems that he sneaked into the palace again last night and didn't wake her up. He must have lost the bet and was embarrassed to see her.
Her curiosity about Young Master Qi swelled to an unbearable level, and she disguised herself as a man to go out of the palace again, hoping to meet him by the Huandai River.Unexpectedly, the second elder brother took her with her last time, he knew the way, Diji seldom left the palace, lost her way after walking for a while, wandered around the streets all day in vain, finally found the palace, it was already dark.
I wanted to find a shortcut from the facing balcony to return to the bedroom before dinner, but suddenly I saw Zuo Zichen standing alone on the stage with his hands behind his back, as if in a daze.Diji became curious and called him: "Hey, the palace gate is about to close! Are you still going out?"
He was shocked, and turned around quickly, with surprise on his face at first, but he was stunned when he saw her man's attire.
Di Ji walked over, the terrain here is high, as far as the eye can see, the imperial city is at the bottom of her feet.The sunset glow filled the sky with big flowers, dyed the city wall red, and also dyed the cheeks of the young man Ruyu in front of him red.He didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, Diji's heart skipped a beat for no reason, touched the hat on her head, and explained: "I...I just dress up occasionally...go out...go out to observe the people's sentiments."
She used the excuse her second brother used.
Zuo Zichen smiled slightly, and saw that she was holding a long willow in her hand, which was emerald green and flexible, and could move without wind. Take it and hold it in your hand to enjoy it.
Di Ji's face was a little hot, and she muttered and couldn't speak.
Zuo Zichen also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, turned his head and coughed twice, and said a very lame excuse to strike up a conversation: "I think the girl is very familiar, did you meet yesterday?"
Di Ji couldn't help but let out a chuckle, her face was covered with rouge, and she was so clear and intoxicating.She said: "I asked for your name yesterday, and I should return your name and mine today. But I don't have a name yet, what should I do?"
His smile gradually became quiet, only the daughter of a nobleman would not have a name before the age of 15.Yesterday, he thought she was just a little actress.
Di Ji said slowly: "You can call me Di Ji, I will live in the palace."
The light in Zuo Zichen's eyes dimmed.
After a long time, Diji couldn't help but smile when she remembered how she and Zuo Zichen got together.Thinking about it later, it was really naive, but the two of them had a great time at the beginning.
When Zuo Zichen was still a teenager, he was old-fashioned and stubborn. He didn't look like a cultivator at all. He firmly believed that she was the emperor's concubine and he was the gift of the courtier. He didn't take another step or say a word.If it hadn't been for that time when she sacrificed one of her feet and specially wore new shoes that didn't fit her feet, causing her heels to be worn out, she might never have heard him say a word of her heart until she died.
Di Ji despised him for being so rigid, a fool could tell that he liked her, but he thought everyone didn't know.Sometimes Xuanzhu, who was unwilling to give up, ran to talk to him, but he lost his mind while talking, and Xuanzhu was so wronged that he could only hide in bed and cry.
If Di Ji was at that time, she would have tried every means to seduce him, hook him up, and capture him. Unfortunately, she was just a 13-year-old girl who had never suffered any hardships at that time, so she could only grit her teeth secretly against this stubbornness. Sullenly refusing to take a step forward, like a flower that has bloomed for a long time, waiting for him to pick it, but he just doesn't pick it, wasting a period of lonely beauty.
When people are young, they pretend to have few things in their hearts, and if there are too many things, they can't pretend.With Zuo Zichen, she just pretended to be him all day long, not worrying about his evasive words yesterday, or because he came a moment late today, and it was these trivial things that came with Xuanzhu.
Young Master Qi has long been thrown behind her head by her. If someone asks her who Young Master Qi is now, she will be foolishly unable to tell.
The second brother is a fine person, and he saw some clues early on, and reminded her cautiously: "Although Zuo Zichen is the son of Prime Minister Zuo, and his status is high enough, he is not the eldest son. You are a daughter of the emperor, no matter how you marry, you will not be able to marry him." What's more, he is a cultivator of immortality? It's better to clear up your mind as soon as possible."
This is simply nonsense. There is no way to take back the water poured out. Can feelings be taken as soon as they are said?
Di Ji had been troubled for a long time, and seeing that he was about to go back to continue cultivating immortals, she finally made up her mind.Aman was very busy that night, because she chose clothes all night. She wore red and thought green was elegant; she wore peony and felt that peony was beautiful. She painted her face with rouge in front of the mirror like a monkey's butt. Dissatisfied, I can't wait to cry.
The weather was not perfect, and it began to rain heavily in the middle of the night. The spider plants hanging outside the window were forgotten to be brought in. When I woke up in the morning, I almost drowned.Di Ji sat in front of the window in a sullen mood for a whole day. Aman thought she wanted to go out to play, so he comforted her: "Maybe the rain will stop in the evening, shall I accompany the princess to the Imperial Garden for a walk?"
But what she wanted to go to was actually facing the balcony, where a young man was always waiting for her alone, rain or shine.He was very kind to her, but he just didn't want to get close to her; he looked at her so tenderly, but he just didn't want to say he liked her. The 13-year-old Di Ji couldn't understand this kind of behavior, and while Aman was not paying attention, she secretly wiped away the tears that hurt the spring and autumn.
At dusk, the heavy rain gradually turned into a drizzle. Diji was so anxious that she couldn't wait for the rain to stop, so she hurried to the balcony without an umbrella.The facing balcony was wrapped in a rain curtain, and the mist was heavy.Zuo Zichen didn't know how long he had been waiting on it, his hair and clothes were wet, he held an umbrella in his hand but didn't open it, his purple figure looked lonely.
Di Ji couldn't help crying again, not knowing whether she was wronged for herself or for him.Walking slowly, he seemed to have heard footsteps a long time ago, and turned around with a smile. There was a warm, moist smile in his beautiful eyes.
"It's raining, does Di Ji still want to come out to play?" Maybe it was because there were only the two of them on the balcony, so it was rare that Xuan Zhu didn't come out to interrupt, his voice seemed much gentler than usual.
Di Ji bit her lip, hating him for being dull and blind, she couldn't see that she had changed into new clothes today, and she didn't react at all, wooden man!She grabbed her belt and said coldly on purpose: "I just like to come out to play, you don't mind me! Don't you always come to the balcony in a daze?"
Sure enough, he was so blocked that he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he opened the purple bamboo umbrella in his hand, covered her head, and said in a low voice: "Be careful of getting cold with wet clothes."
Diji suddenly felt an indescribable grievance.He refused to say anything, he just treated her so inexplicably, and when she became addicted and liked her, he would talk about being humble and keep her away.How could there be such a hateful person in the world?
She shook off his hand holding the umbrella and shouted, "Zuo Zichen! Do you like me or not?"
He froze, unable to speak for a long time.
Di Ji was furious again: "Or is it Xuanzhu that you like?"
He finally came to his senses, his face flushed red all of a sudden, and he explained: "How come... I never..."
"Then who do you like?" She almost yelled out her mighty overlord strength, "I've had enough! Zuo Zichen, I... Anyway, I like you! If you make trouble, it's your family If you dare to say no, I will... kill your nine clans!"
In desperation, she couldn't think of any way to threaten him, so she had to bring out the most ruthless one to scare him.
The purple bamboo umbrella rolled to the ground, and the drizzle fell on the heads of the two of them.Gold stars fluttered in front of Di Ji's eyes, she buried her head and refused to look at him, her legs were also a little weak, if she hadn't supported herself all at once, she would probably be as soft as noodles soon.After a long time, he still didn't make a sound, but Di Ji became more and more flustered, her mind went blank, she vaguely felt that she had just said too much, and tremblingly said: "Zhu Jiu Clan or something... I... I just Just kidding..."
He still didn't speak, standing opposite him like a silent statue.Di Ji's heart sank gradually, she twisted her clothes in embarrassment, and reluctantly nodded: "Okay... I see..."
She turned around and left, suddenly her shoulders tightened, and she was held tightly by a pair of warm hands.The next moment, her whole body fell into his wet embrace, and she almost died of being strangled.She groaned in pain, her wet, immature body, desperately approaching him, raised her arms, and hugged his neck tightly without showing any weakness.
Zuo Zichen held her head down to prevent her from looking up, with a tremor in her voice: "You are not joking, are you serious?"
Diji was so excited that she burst into tears, nodded vigorously, but couldn't say anything.
Her eyes were swollen from crying that day, and her image was completely lost. Obviously, it was the first time she knew that when people are too happy, they will also cry unspeakably.
After that day, the two should be together.When children first talk about love, it is inevitable that they will take it as funny, but Zuo Zichen is a wooden man, who doesn't understand sex at all, he will leave if he is asked to go, and stop if he is asked to stop. In the private meeting, he always sat on the chair well-behaved, and he blushed as soon as she leaned over her, which made Di Ji deeply ashamed of her wolf-like tiger.
Diji remembered that the second brother once liked a little maid beside the queen, she had red lips and white teeth, and the second brother copied some touching poems from somewhere, and wrote them on pink paper specially, folded a plum blossom and entrusted Diji with it To that maid of honor.
She flipped through it secretly, and there were nothing but desolate sentences such as "a fair lady, a gentleman loves her", "lovesickness is like the depth of the sea, and the heart is broken at the end of the world".It's a pity that the maid was illiterate, and she took the beautiful letter paper to light the brazier.
At that time she felt nasty, but now she secretly resented that Zuo Zichen wasn't nasty enough, so she couldn't help but hint at it from time to time.
"Have you read "The Book of Songs"? Can you recite "Guanju"?" When he came to the private meeting at night, Diji asked him pretending to be serious.
Zuo Zichen didn't understand for a while, and nodded honestly: "I have seen it. Why do you want me to recite this?"
Di Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth and twisted her body into a mess: "What are you asking? Are you memorizing it!"
He felt that the little princess was getting more and more unruly, but also more and more cute.Although he always couldn't understand her sudden whimsy, he still didn't refuse - he was unwilling to refuse any request from her from the bottom of his heart.
"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. Fair lady, gentleman...so good..." After reciting four sentences, Zuo Zichen suddenly understood what she meant, and couldn't help pursing his lips into a half-smile looking at her.
Di Ji blushed, and deliberately made an appearance of "you are not allowed to think about it", pretending to be angry: "Why don't you recite it?"
Zuo Zichen looked at her tenderly, held her hand, and whispered: "Yanyan."
Di Ji also felt embarrassed, she seems too much for a girl's family, is it the same for girls from other families?Zuo Zichen must have been frightened, right?
"I'm leaving tomorrow." His sudden words woke up Diji, who was intoxicated in her little daughter's dream, and looked at him incredulously, muttering: "Going?"
Zuo Zichen embraced her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "I'm going to find Master, and marrying you is much more difficult than cultivating immortality."
Di Ji wondered, "What's the problem? Is your master not letting you get married?"
He didn't speak, just smiled faintly, and after a while, he said again: "Wait until you reach Ji. I can wait, but can't you?"
Di Ji's face turned red again: "Who said I can't wait? Just go! If you don't come, I'll marry someone else!"
Zuo Zichen's arms tightened twice, he wrapped her in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead.Although the lips were as soft as before, they became a little hot today for some reason.Di Ji looked up at him in a daze.
Zuo Zichen whispered: "You are not allowed to marry others."
Before she finished speaking, those fiery lips touched her slightly parted lips lightly.
A kiss, light and tender, even a little jerky.Di Ji never drank alcohol, but she was already drunk at this moment.She has never been so eager to hope that she will grow up soon, and reach Ji soon.She loves him so much, and only him.For him, with jewels and emeralds on his head and a wedding gown, he will be happy for the rest of his life.
However, Diji still couldn't wait until Jiji's day.
When Diji was 14 years old, many things happened.
Zuo Zichen never came back, no matter how many letters she wrote, from the first miss to the last question, he never heard from him again; He threatened to cut off the heads of the royal family and hang them on the city wall to demonstrate; several elder brothers died on the battlefield one by one, the queen couldn't get sick because of this, and Emperor Bao'an died in despair and panic.
When she learned that the traitor was the Prime Minister of the Left, Di Ji suddenly understood.He must have known all this.So he never came back, so he deliberately disappeared.
What kind of man can hold you in his arms, kiss you gently, say he wants to marry you, but stab you hard in the back?What kind of cruel heart is it that can safely sit back and watch the country be destroyed and the demons rampant?Waiting for him until Jiji, with pearls and green hair, and wearing a wedding dress—what a silly joke.He will leave knowing that this promise will never be fulfilled.Her dream of being pregnant was just a play he watched coldly.
In a rage, Emperor Ji went to Katori Mountain alone.In fact, it is not difficult to find him, it is much simpler than imagined.It's just because of her wishful love that she would rather turn this long waiting into lingering lovesickness.She could never forget the cold and unfamiliar expression on Zuo Zichen's face when she stood in front of him.Xuan Zhu, who had been missing for a long time, held his arm, and the two of them leaned together like a pair of golden boys and jade girls.He said, "Girl, who are you?"
Di Ji didn't say anything. Before coming, she thought for ten days and ten nights, what to say and what to ask when she saw him.However, there is no need to ask anything now.Amid Xuan Zhu's screams, she stabbed Zuo Zichen blind in the eyes. In fact, she aimed at the neck at that time, trying to cut off his cruel head, but he blocked it instinctively and only stabbed him blind. eyes.
Punishing the national traitor was originally a joyful thing, but she didn't want to think about it for a long time afterwards.She felt as if she had never known Zuo Zichen before.Why should he smile at her, be kind to her, be gentle to her?Why blush?Why stand alone on the balcony facing her forever, waiting for her?Why is Fianlian as vicious as a snake and scorpion?
She really doesn't understand.
The human heart is so treacherous and fickle, it is more terrifying than any natural danger.What the monsters eat is the human body, but what people kill is the human heart.
When Tianyuan Kingdom set fire to the Dayan Palace, she quietly left with Aman.Both of them grew up in the imperial palace and had never experienced hardship. They wandered in the mountains and forests for several days. Due to panic and unwell diet, Aman fell ill.She had a high fever for three days and three nights. Fortunately, she met an old man who taught him the art of white paper psychics.He has a whole body of skills, but it is impossible for him to deal with a large number of monsters alone, so he also escaped from the palace.
The old gentleman checked Aman's condition carefully, shook his head and sighed: "The body is already weak to the extreme, and coupled with excessive worry and fear, I'm afraid it won't get better."
Di Ji has suffered so much in the past year, and her spirit has long been broken, she just wished she could cry aloud.But she couldn't cry yet, so she could only hold back, forced a smile and said, "I heard the tone of the gentleman, there should be help? Just say, no matter how difficult it is, I can do it."
The old gentleman glanced at her, a little embarrassed: "The old man once heard that the owner of Katori Mountain was good at refining all kinds of elixir pills when he was young. Among them, there is a purple elixir that can cure all kinds of diseases. But the princess and that Zuo Zi Chen... I'm afraid..."
Diji got up and ran out, leaving only one sentence: "Sir, wait for me!"
But in the end she still didn't get the elixir, she threw away all her self-esteem and knelt in front of Zuo Zichen's room for a day and a night, all she got was Zuo Zichen's avoidance.Xuanzhu looked very embarrassed, and sighed: "Diji is trying to save someone, so I should have given it to you. But you seriously injured Zichen last time, and he has already taken the purple spirit pill, and there is no second spirit pill in the mountains." Why don't you ask Diji elsewhere? You have a lot of friends, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a panacea."
Diji's face was ashen and dead, and for the first time she begged her in a low voice: "Even if there is no purple spirit pill, other similar ones are fine. Xuanzhu, please help me."
Xuanzhu smiled and was about to speak when Zuo Zichen suddenly called softly in the room: "Xuanzhu? Where are you?" She hurriedly turned and went in, and it took a long time before she came out with a pack of medicine and threw it on the In front of her: "Shanzhu only has these medicines for bruises left. If you need them, you can take them all."
Injuries from bruises... Di Ji slowly picked up the package of medicine, and then slowly opened it.The bread inside is just some things that can be bought in ordinary pharmacies, and when added together, the price is only one tael of silver.
She was stunned for a long time, Xuanzhu said with a smile: "Look, it's not that I won't help you. In fact, Zichen hates you so much, he's just afraid that you won't die fast enough."
Di Ji threw the package of medicine into the Xuanzhu all over her head and face, and walked away in a huff.
When he returned to the forest, Aman was already dead, lying stiffly on the rough thatched grass, as if he had fallen asleep.
She pressed Aman's hand tightly to her face, feeling her heart beating extremely fast, as if a sword had poked holes in her body one after another, the pain was severe, but her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed a single tear.
There are no tools and no bricks.Aman's tomb was dug out bit by bit by Di Ji with her hands. She split a piece of wood and carved the words "Aman's Tomb" on it with a hairpin.Di Ji sat blankly in front of the tomb with her knees hugged for several days.
The old gentleman comforted her: "People cannot be resurrected after death, Di Ji should not be too sad. You are not yet the time to be discouraged."
Di Ji whispered: "Sir, I can't live anymore..." Before she could say a word, she already fainted.
She was seriously ill in pain and anxiety, and almost died. At the moment of dying, she suddenly realized that the degree of trauma that the human heart can endure is limited, and some pains will be remembered for a lifetime. Warn yourself not to make the same mistake again in the future.But some pain, it is better to forget it.
The song "Dongfeng Peach Blossom" on the balcony, the intoxicating eyes of the young man in the dusk, the almost suffocating jerky kiss under the moonlight - it seems to be something from the previous life. Di Ji wondered if she really loved a man, really I thought about marrying him and growing old hand in hand.
By the way... what's that man's name?She seems to have forgotten.
It's good to forget like that.
Although there are still many people in this world, every heart is cold.Love is born from nothing, hate is born from love; love is lingering at dawn, and love is dead at night.The love and hate that many people regard as so heavy, in the end, they can't withstand the changes in the cold hearts.
Everything has a cause and effect, and there is a reason for it. This is her retribution for being too naive.
The old man said that there is a kind of artifact called the soul lamp in the world, which was searched and taken away by the owner of Mount Katori, and hidden deep in the treasure house.If you can get that treasure, you can avenge your country's revenge.
After recovering from her illness, Diji left Dayan with her husband and came to a small country in the west, where she started to study with him.She has more important things to do, and she can't let her life be wasted in the boundless void.
Jiji was 15 years old, and her husband named her Qin Chuan.
The Emperor Ji of the Great Yan Kingdom has truly disappeared from the world since then.
One day in September, Fu Jiuyun, who had been looking for rare treasures for the mountain master, came back, and Zuo Zichen took Xuanzhu to see him.
Xuanzhu has just become a disciple of the Mountain Lord, and other people can be missed, but the eight disciples around the Mountain Lord must know each other, and Fu Jiuyun is one of them.It is said that he started very early, his strength is unfathomable, he is just romantic, he always likes to hang out with women, he does not have close contacts with other disciples, so his reputation is not as good as other senior disciples.But the owner of the mountain obviously relies on him very much, and all the most precious treasures are entrusted to him to take care of, which shows his trust.
Xuanzhu held Zuo Zichen's arm as she walked slowly among the flying red leaves, she was truly satisfied now.
I remember that when Tianyuan Kingdom drove demons to invade Dayan, the first to suffer were these vassal states.Emperor Bao'an was cowardly and despicable, and he only cared about protecting himself. No matter how many requests from the princes, begging Dayan to send a national teacher to calm the war, he ignored it.In the confusion, she escaped alone, groped for an unknown amount of time, and finally fainted outside Katori Mountain.
It was Zuo Zichen who saved her, but he had already forgotten everything about the Great Yan Kingdom, and even Di Ji couldn't remember who it was.This way of forgetting is extremely strange, as if a memory was forcibly sealed away by someone.The tampered person seemed unwilling to remember that he had a lingering love with Dayan.
Naturally, she was quite pleased with this fact.
He forgot everything, and from now on, she would be the only one in his heart.He will always understand that she is the only one in this world who treats him the most sincerely, without reservation, and with everything.It doesn't matter if the Zuo family is treasonous, or Dayan is destroyed, and everyone in the world is dead, as long as he is still around, she doesn't care about anything.
It is impossible for Di Ji to love him like this.
Since childhood, Xuan Zhu has been looking for a way to completely defeat Di Ji, and now she has finally found it.No other woman would love Zuo Zichen like her. In this almost desperate and terrifying love, Diji finally lost to her.
Xuanzhu felt supremely happy.
Finally meeting the legendary and suave Fu Jiuyun, he is quite different from the playboy he imagined.He didn't look like a teenager, but he wasn't old either, so people couldn't guess his age.There is a tear mole in his eye, and he has a unique and heart-pounding innocence when he smiles, but when he is not smiling, he looks a little gloomy, as if he is hiding endless thoughts.
He was drinking alone by the window, and there were already a dozen wine jugs piled up under his feet.Xuan Zhu frowned when she smelled the smell of alcohol in the room.
Fu Jiuyun didn't look back, he was looking at the eastern sky, lost in thought.Xuanzhu moved a little bit, a little impatient, the next moment he suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked her up from head to toe in an instant.Xuanzhu even had the illusion that she was naked in front of him, and her face flushed immediately.
Fu Jiuyun only glanced at her, then turned to look at Zuo Zichen, seeing his tightly closed eyes, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "What's wrong with the eyes?"
Zuo Zichen didn't want to answer this question, because he couldn't tell or remember.Walking over to take the jug, he poured himself a glass of wine. Seeing that Fu Jiuyun was unhappy and not talking and laughing like before, he said softly, "You seem to be having a bad time when you go out these days."
Fu Jiuyun smiled mockingly, looked at Xuan Zhu again, and said, "Leave me alone, I know you are doing well. Throw away the old one and embrace the new one."
Zuo Zichen was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Fu Jiuyun didn't answer, but slowly drank the wine in the glass, keeping his eyes on the eastern sky.The clouds there were rolling like silk, and it was clear, and the cool wind was blowing towards his face, making his eyes slightly narrowed.
He remembered that day, the rain had been falling intermittently, and the crystal clear drops of water rolled down from the leaves of the willow tree, and he counted each drop in his heart.He used the painting as bait, hoping that she would take the bait. She was a little fish in the sea of his heart, swimming around, not knowing when to bite the bait.And a little afraid of her coming, she is still young and innocent, how can she understand?
He was on the bank of the ring belt river, watching the drizzle turn into sunset glow, watching the willow leaves being washed green and tender, watching many people coming and going, he was happy and anxious in his heart, happy because the person he was waiting for was the one and only her, Anxious for her delay in coming.
He also thought of the destroyed Great Yan, the once exquisite imperial palace was burned on the flames, leaving only the dark and decadent ruins.The remnants of the tall and magnificent facing balcony are still there, and a large part of it collapsed, leaving behind a piece of charred white stone railing, on which she once danced a song "East Wind Peach Blossom Song", and her fiery red dress brushed over it .
Now, together with Dayan, she perishes in the ever-changing world.
He has been waiting for someone, but he knows that she will never come.
(End of this chapter)
When Qin Chuan was 13 years old, his name was not Qin Chuan.According to the customs of the Great Yan Kingdom, the daughter of a nobleman is given a character by her parents' blood relatives after she is 15 years old, and this character is also her name.So at that time she was still called Di Ji, at most she was called "Yan Ji".After father and queen mother, the eldest brother went up to the fifth brother, who privately called her Yanyan.
At that time, no one knew that Emperor Bao'an would be the last emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.Dayan has many fine craftsmen, strong national strength, and all the surrounding princes surrendered. Although it has been in the period of Emperor Bao'an, there are signs of decline, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses. There are no tens of 100 years. This country will not fall so easily .
Emperor Bao'an and the empress had been married for more than twenty years. The empress and his wife had a deep love and had three sons and a daughter. Although there were many concubines in the harem, the fate of the empress was weak, and only two concubines were born.Xiao Diji is the youngest concubine daughter, she is born very well, and has a pleasant temper, so everyone in the palace will inevitably pamper her.
At that time, Dayan's national customs were open, women were raised as men, they practiced martial arts and literature, and they were proud of being elegant and good at singing and dancing.If someone's daughter is outstanding in singing and dancing, everyone is envious and jealous, which is completely different from Western countries where folk customs are conservative and women are not allowed to show their faces.
Diji has studied martial arts with her elder brothers since she was a child, and because the blood of the royal family of Dayan is different from ordinary people, when she was 13 years old, she was taught rare fairy arts by her husband.It is said that the royal family of Dayan was originally very good at immortal arts, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions in the past hundreds of thousands of years.In Emperor Bao'an's generation, there was only white paper spiritism left to learn.
At that time, Diji had just turned 13 years old, and she had just learned this nasty fairy art with her husband. In order to summon spirit beasts through the medium of white paper, she had to prick her fingers dozens of times a day. A good piece of skin hurts to the touch.
Just a few days ago, I heard from the Queen that next month my aunt would bring my cousin Xuanzhu to live in the palace for a short stay, and Di Ji felt as unhappy as if she had eaten a fly.Xuanzhu is two years older than her, and she just turned fifteen last month. Her uncle gave her the name Xuanzhu. Before that, she had no name like Diji.Of course, Di Ji never wanted to know her name.
She felt that she had never offended Xuanzhu, but Xuanzhu seemed to dislike her by nature, and would oppose her in every big and small matter.Hearing that Diji practiced handwriting well, she specially drew hairpin lowercase script, showing off everywhere; when she heard that Diji had memorized a few poems, she simply memorized the entire vocabulary of famous masters.It was only when they hadn't met, and it was even worse when they met. Di Ji insisted on saying something, anyway, she seemed to be wrong all over in front of Xuanzhu, and Xuanzhu looked down upon her from head to toe.
In the morning, the task assigned by my husband to transform ten cranes out of ten pieces of white paper could not be done well. If blood dripped on it, it would either jump out of a frog or turn into a crappy sparrow. Throw it on the ground, and go to the Royal Garden to relax in a fit of anger.
Just when the second prince came back from the palace, he saw her angrily sitting alone in the gazebo folding white paper, and Aman looked at her with a bitter face from behind, so he walked over to touch Di Ji's head with a smile: "Why, Mr. punished?"
Diji has always liked the second brother the most. Although she has five brothers, the eldest is stable, the third is gloomy, and the fourth and fifth are concubines, so she dare not get too close to her. Only this second brother is cheerful and loves to play. Ai went out of the palace to play on the grounds of "observing people's sentiments", and brought her many interesting things every time she came back.Diji's eyes lit up when she saw him.
"It's nothing, I just heard that Xuanzhu is coming, and I feel annoyed, and I can't call out the crane." She tore the folded white paper into many small strips, squeezed out a drop of blood from the wound on her fingertip, and applied it. With a bang, the piece of white paper turned into a stupid turtle, crawling and crawling on the table.She became so angry that she threw the turtle into the pond.
The second prince laughed loudly: "Come on, what excuse do you use Xuanzhu. If you can't do it, you can't do it, just admit it!"
Seeing that Diji was frowning, he couldn't help but smiled, and mysteriously took out two scrolls from his arms and put them on the table: "Seeing you are so angry, Second Brother will show you something good. You can spend 1000 yuan if you are outside." Two golds may not be able to buy one of them."
Di Ji was very curious at the time, seeing him so mysterious, she thought it was a erotic picture, she blushed and heartbeated and unfolded it, but the picture was just a plum with bright red petals, the plum branch was written in a chic and graceful manner without losing strength.
She curled her lips: "The painting is very good, but it's not worth a thousand taels of gold, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt the cold wind blowing towards my face. It seemed that there was a light snowfall in the originally beautiful spring pavilion, and a branch of red plum blossomed in the white snow.
Di Ji gasped, and quickly rubbed her eyes, the branch of red plum was still there, and the delicate petals even swayed in the wind.She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but it was empty—it turned out to be an illusion.
The second prince proudly rolled up the scroll, and all the illusions disappeared immediately.He said, "How? Is it worth a thousand taels of gold?"
Di Ji nodded in a daze, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get it? Who drew it?"
"A few days ago when I was out of the palace, I saw a painting stall on the side of the road. There were many people shouting and screaming around. I couldn't help but take a look curiously. It turned out that someone was painting on the spot. This person's name is Gongzi Qi, who is already a famous figure among the people. He has a great reputation, but his temper is eccentric, and he claims that he only paints and does not sell paintings. I have been grinding these two paintings for several days and borrowed them for appreciation. I have to return them in a few days."
Di Ji hurriedly unfolded another scroll, but this time there were no flowers, birds, fish and insects on the paper, but a gorgeous palace, in front of which there were more than a dozen beautiful dancers dancing with golden lutes in their arms.Gradually, those dancers seemed to appear in front of their eyes, with light and charming figures, slender waists, and a very enchanting posture of bouncing off the pipa. Although there is no music, it is inevitable, but no matter who sees these wonderful movements, they can't help admiring asphyxia.
The second prince smiled and said: "This person is young, although he has shocking talents, he is very arrogant. He claims to be proud of his life, and he ranks first in music, third in painting, and fourth in immortal art. Because he wrote half of the "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", he lamented that all dancers in the world have no talent to dance out, so he simply painted it in the painting, and he still refuses to make the remaining half of the que, claiming that no one in the world is worthy of him to complete a que "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song". This is really extremely arrogant."
Di Ji was engrossed in watching it, and then casually said, "Music rhythm comes first, painting comes third, so what's the second favorite?"
The second prince was in a bit of a dilemma, he hesitated and said: "There is nothing to say... just a country madman."
It turns out that what Young Master Qi said was that there are four things to be proud of in one's life.The first is the melody, which can lead to the phoenix and the song, and the white crane dances together; the third is the painting, which can still be fake.The fourth is fairy art, which is just for self-protection.The second one is romantic and affectionate, no matter how indifferent and stubborn women in the world, he has the ability to make them blush and heartbeat before smiling, he is a figure like a fish in water among women.
Of course, it was not easy for Xiao Di Ji to hear such words, so he could only deal with them casually.
Di Ji didn't care, and only waited for those dancers to finish dancing, then slowly rolled up the scroll, pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said with a smile: "He really said that no one in the world can finish "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song"? "
The second prince teased her: "What? Could it be that my little sister wants to challenge her?"
Diji raised her chin and said proudly: "Second brother, go out of the palace and tell him to finish "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" quickly, and someone will be able to dance soon!"
The second prince smiled and said: "You really want to dance, right? If you make a fool of yourself, the second brother won't help you, and let the civilians outside laugh at you for the rest of your life."
"I dare say, I will definitely dare to finish the dance." Di Ji smiled lightly, two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
Over there the second prince went out of the palace again to look for Young Master Qi, but here a major incident happened in the court.Zuo Xiang has been the prime minister of Yan for more than 20 years. A few days ago, he suddenly wrote an account, saying that he was old and sick, and could no longer serve the king, so he asked to resign.As soon as the book was published, there was an uproar all over the court.Zuo Xiang has been an official for many years, and the official camp is even more intricate, so complicated that he can't explain it clearly. He didn't have any warning to resign suddenly, and the scope of the involvement is so deep and wide that it is unimaginable.
Emperor Bao'an failed to comfort him several times, and he was also worried.Recently, the surrounding area of Great Yan Kingdom has not been peaceful. Tianyuan Kingdom, a large country in the northwest, has been eager to move. Five years ago, it annexed several small countries around the northwest. With a clever strategy, the four countries were destroyed in just two years, and the territory was included in its own territory.
Recently, Tianyuan Kingdom has frequently harassed the border of Dayan. Although it is only a minor disturbance, if one day strong troops come, the whole country will inevitably be in chaos.At such a time, Prime Minister Zuo actually wanted to resign, which was equivalent to cutting off an arm of Emperor Bao'an. How could he not be troubled?
Di Ji still didn't understand the affairs in the court, she was still a naive little girl at that time, but seeing her father was frowning recently, she thought of a way to make him smile.Exactly half a month later, the second prince came back again, this time bringing the complete score of "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song".
"Be clear in advance, if you can't jump out, the second brother really can't help you." The second prince smiled wryly, "That young master Qi agreed very readily, but he said that the song is for you, and if you can dance out, he will give you the song." I am willing to devote my whole life to painting the two best paintings for you. If you can’t jump out, don’t blame him for helping you spread the bad reputation of being overconfident.”
Di Ji lowered her head to study the score carefully, and smiled indifferently: "Then just wait for him to give me two paintings!"
Xuanzhu and his aunt Mrs. Qiuhua came to Dayan Palace three days before the queen's birthday.This Mrs. Qiuhua heard that she was a gentle woman before she got married. As the eldest daughter of the famous family of Dayan, she fully thought that her parents would arrange for her to marry into the harem and become the mother of a country.Who would have thought that Emperor Bao'an was so in love with her younger sister that he directly proposed marriage to her home.So the younger sister married first and became the queen, and this elder sister had to marry into the princes dejectedly and became a wife.
Since then, her personality has changed a lot, and she doesn't like everything. When she heard that Diji was going to dance to the balcony on the Queen's birthday, she said in a toneless way: "As expected of the royal family's first daughter, and those who are petty The style is different, but to perform a dance in public, the common people outside don’t know what to say.”
Diji hated this aunt just as much as she hated Xuanzhu, so she simply found an excuse to escape.Out of royal etiquette, the queen insisted on bringing Xuanzhu to speak together, and the process was simply miserable.Seeing her boredly tearing up white paper and practicing psychic skills, Xuan Zhu was full of disdain: "I thought the celestial arts of Dayan's direct royal family were something powerful, but it turned out to be just a child's plaything."
It's not easy for Diji to turn his face, otherwise the queen will be scolded at night, so she can only laugh dryly: "It's really nothing special, sister Xuanzhu, can you show me anything more powerful?"
Xuanzhu walked away on the spot, crying in front of the queen, saying that she had humiliated her and that she was a prince's princess.Mrs. Qiuhua not only didn't comfort her, but scolded her severely. Xuanzhu was so angry that she locked herself in the room for two days, which made the queen very worried. She really scolded Diji that night.
Every time the mother and daughter came, there was a mess of smoke.Di Ji was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, so she simply begged her second brother to change clothes and take her sneak out of the palace to relax.Because he heard that young master Qi often drinks and paints by the Huandai River, Di Ji wanted to meet this stranger, so she waited all morning by the Huandai River.
Who knew that this person would come every day, but he wouldn't come today.Di Ji waited until she was hungry, and the second elder brother saw her stern face, so he smiled and comforted her: "I don't understand the affairs of your girls' family, but Xuanzhu has no reason, why are you messing around with me? If the emperor knows that I brought you If you come out, even I will be scolded, not to mention that if you come out, you will have a private meeting with a private man. Just go back today. If you have something to say in the future, let the second brother help you pass it on to him. You are just childish, and you can say it when you let others know What sounds good?"
Diji had no choice but to go back to the palace obediently. Ye Lai slept until the third watch when she suddenly woke up thirsty. When she opened her eyes, she found a dark figure standing in front of the desk by the window. She looked like a man.
She was so frightened that she jumped up, her whole body was so weak that she couldn't even cry out.The man seemed to realize that she was awake, and after a slight sway, it turned into light smoke and dissipated, leaving only a small lilac-colored note floating in the air, before landing beside her bed.A line of words was written on the note: Qing Ben is beautiful, but she disguises herself as a man, ugly and ugly!Don't forget the promise of singing and dancing.Young Master Qi.
Diji couldn't laugh or cry.It turned out that this person had been hiding in the dark watching her during the day, knowing that she was disguised as a man.At one moment, I was frightened by his daring to sneak into the palace alone in the middle of the night, at the same time, I was annoyed at his arrogant attitude of disrespecting the royal family, and at the same time, I felt that it was really interesting and proud to bet with such a person.
She was always daring, but now she had no fear at all, she put the note neatly on the bedside table, and said loudly, "Young master! I'm sure I'll win! Just wait!"
No one answered her, but Aman was awakened, and she came over to serve in her clothes.
Two days later, on the fortieth birthday of the Empress, the ministers were entertained on the balcony, but Prime Minister Zuo was still sick and huddled at home, and only sent his youngest son to present a congratulatory gift.
When Zuo Zichen climbed onto the facing balcony, there was a sudden silence from the chatter and laughter on the stage.He was wearing a long purple dress, with a slender and tall figure, and his Zhilan-like handsome appearance made people afraid to look at him more, and always felt that he seemed to be shrouded in mist and morning light.
Di Ji was originally changing clothes for dancing at the back, but suddenly there was no sound on the stage, so she couldn't help but poked her head to look, and happened to meet him face to face.Zuo Zichen was slightly taken aback, nodded his head as a gesture, walked around politely but indifferently, and knelt in front of the emperor's throne neither humble nor overbearing.
Because he was very good-looking and had a completely different taste from many noble men in the imperial city, Di Ji couldn't help but take a second look and asked Aman: "Who is he?"
Aman has always been the most well-informed on the gossip about these noble children, and immediately smiled: "It's the youngest son of Zuo Xiang, who is usually not in the imperial city. I heard that when I was a child, I met a fairy and said he had a fairy Yuan, I took Xiuxian away early, and I only come back once or twice a year. Is this the first time seeing the princess?"
It turned out that he was a cultivator of immortals, no wonder he was so immortal, he didn't look like a son of a nobleman.
Zuo Zichen sent a congratulatory gift, and resigned on the pretext of worrying about Zuo Xiang's illness.Di Ji watched him walking towards this side, and looked at her with two eyes, as if she was a little shy, she lowered her eyes and dared not look any more.She didn't want to be troublesome at first, but Xuanzhu was sitting on the table and glared at herself.Originally Xuan Zhu blushed when she saw Zuo Zichen, but now seeing Di Ji always looking around, her face turned blue with anger.
Diji's heart was joking, and she waved at Zuo Zichen. He was really surprised, and asked her what was the matter with his eyes.She giggled and asked casually, "What's your name?"
There was a suspicious blush on Zuo Zichen's face.Seeing how high his noble frame is, he must be looked up to and feared by women, who dare not approach him.Right now, a girl suddenly asked him what his name was without paying attention, and he was actually a little shy.
"My... Zuo Zichen. The girl is..." He hesitated for a while, but still whispered his name in a low and gentle voice, which was very nice.
Di Ji nodded: "Zuo Zichen, don't rush away, let me dance for you?"
He blushed again, looking very imposing, why did he blush so easily?Di Ji smiled at him, turned and left.
She didn't worry about such a trivial matter at all, and even forgot about it after changing her clothes.Because she is an imperial concubine and has not yet reached the age of hair, it is not easy to show her face on the balcony, so that the common people outside the palace can see her appearance, so they simply put a layer of veil on her face, only showing a pair of bright eyes.
The actresses all wore ivory-white gauze dresses, and she was the only one wearing a red dress. She had black hair and slender waist, and long sleeves. Eyes are attracted to the past.
At that time, there was a "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" on the balcony of Emperor Jichao, which amazed everyone.Speaking of reasons, firstly, it was to amuse the empress, and secondly, it was just to make a bet with the arrogant young master.Who would have thought that many messy things would be involved later, it was really unexpected.
Xuanzhu's complexion has never been better since she came on stage, and when she finishes dancing, her face is comparable to that of a green carrot.Mrs. Qiuhua was expressionless, she turned her head and didn't know what to say to her. She bit her lip tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and she lowered her head in shame.
Diji's good mood was ruined in an instant, and she hurriedly offered two glasses of wine to her father and queen before leaving in a hurry.Going all the way back to the original place, Zuo Zichen was still there, looking at him quietly.She smiled again and asked, "Do you like it?" Before he could answer, she was surrounded by a group of actors and went down the steps.
That night, Emperor Bao'an was full of praise for "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", and even asked who composed the song.The second prince mentioned Young Master Qi with a smile, but just to avoid suspicion, he didn't mention the ridiculous bet between Di Ji and Young Master Qi.Emperor Bao'an was thirsty for talent, and since then he sent people around several times to inquire about Young Master Qi, but they found nothing.After Diji sang "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song", he seemed to have left Dayan Kingdom, and never appeared again until the kingdom fell.
Emperor Bao'an was deeply moved by this, and wrote the number "Da Yan Musician Gongzi Qi" in his own handwriting, gave him a title out of thin air, and allowed the folk music workshop to privately copy the score of "Dongfeng Peach Blossom Song" and rehearse it by itself.Since then, the name of Gongzi Qi has been passed down among the people of Dayan, and it has become a synonym for the mysterious master.
When Di Ji woke up the next day, she found that there were two extra scrolls on the desk, and on it was another piece of lilac-colored paper, which read: willing to bet and admit defeat.Young Master Qi.It seems that he sneaked into the palace again last night and didn't wake her up. He must have lost the bet and was embarrassed to see her.
Her curiosity about Young Master Qi swelled to an unbearable level, and she disguised herself as a man to go out of the palace again, hoping to meet him by the Huandai River.Unexpectedly, the second elder brother took her with her last time, he knew the way, Diji seldom left the palace, lost her way after walking for a while, wandered around the streets all day in vain, finally found the palace, it was already dark.
I wanted to find a shortcut from the facing balcony to return to the bedroom before dinner, but suddenly I saw Zuo Zichen standing alone on the stage with his hands behind his back, as if in a daze.Diji became curious and called him: "Hey, the palace gate is about to close! Are you still going out?"
He was shocked, and turned around quickly, with surprise on his face at first, but he was stunned when he saw her man's attire.
Di Ji walked over, the terrain here is high, as far as the eye can see, the imperial city is at the bottom of her feet.The sunset glow filled the sky with big flowers, dyed the city wall red, and also dyed the cheeks of the young man Ruyu in front of him red.He didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, Diji's heart skipped a beat for no reason, touched the hat on her head, and explained: "I...I just dress up occasionally...go out...go out to observe the people's sentiments."
She used the excuse her second brother used.
Zuo Zichen smiled slightly, and saw that she was holding a long willow in her hand, which was emerald green and flexible, and could move without wind. Take it and hold it in your hand to enjoy it.
Di Ji's face was a little hot, and she muttered and couldn't speak.
Zuo Zichen also seemed to feel a little embarrassed, turned his head and coughed twice, and said a very lame excuse to strike up a conversation: "I think the girl is very familiar, did you meet yesterday?"
Di Ji couldn't help but let out a chuckle, her face was covered with rouge, and she was so clear and intoxicating.She said: "I asked for your name yesterday, and I should return your name and mine today. But I don't have a name yet, what should I do?"
His smile gradually became quiet, only the daughter of a nobleman would not have a name before the age of 15.Yesterday, he thought she was just a little actress.
Di Ji said slowly: "You can call me Di Ji, I will live in the palace."
The light in Zuo Zichen's eyes dimmed.
After a long time, Diji couldn't help but smile when she remembered how she and Zuo Zichen got together.Thinking about it later, it was really naive, but the two of them had a great time at the beginning.
When Zuo Zichen was still a teenager, he was old-fashioned and stubborn. He didn't look like a cultivator at all. He firmly believed that she was the emperor's concubine and he was the gift of the courtier. He didn't take another step or say a word.If it hadn't been for that time when she sacrificed one of her feet and specially wore new shoes that didn't fit her feet, causing her heels to be worn out, she might never have heard him say a word of her heart until she died.
Di Ji despised him for being so rigid, a fool could tell that he liked her, but he thought everyone didn't know.Sometimes Xuanzhu, who was unwilling to give up, ran to talk to him, but he lost his mind while talking, and Xuanzhu was so wronged that he could only hide in bed and cry.
If Di Ji was at that time, she would have tried every means to seduce him, hook him up, and capture him. Unfortunately, she was just a 13-year-old girl who had never suffered any hardships at that time, so she could only grit her teeth secretly against this stubbornness. Sullenly refusing to take a step forward, like a flower that has bloomed for a long time, waiting for him to pick it, but he just doesn't pick it, wasting a period of lonely beauty.
When people are young, they pretend to have few things in their hearts, and if there are too many things, they can't pretend.With Zuo Zichen, she just pretended to be him all day long, not worrying about his evasive words yesterday, or because he came a moment late today, and it was these trivial things that came with Xuanzhu.
Young Master Qi has long been thrown behind her head by her. If someone asks her who Young Master Qi is now, she will be foolishly unable to tell.
The second brother is a fine person, and he saw some clues early on, and reminded her cautiously: "Although Zuo Zichen is the son of Prime Minister Zuo, and his status is high enough, he is not the eldest son. You are a daughter of the emperor, no matter how you marry, you will not be able to marry him." What's more, he is a cultivator of immortality? It's better to clear up your mind as soon as possible."
This is simply nonsense. There is no way to take back the water poured out. Can feelings be taken as soon as they are said?
Di Ji had been troubled for a long time, and seeing that he was about to go back to continue cultivating immortals, she finally made up her mind.Aman was very busy that night, because she chose clothes all night. She wore red and thought green was elegant; she wore peony and felt that peony was beautiful. She painted her face with rouge in front of the mirror like a monkey's butt. Dissatisfied, I can't wait to cry.
The weather was not perfect, and it began to rain heavily in the middle of the night. The spider plants hanging outside the window were forgotten to be brought in. When I woke up in the morning, I almost drowned.Di Ji sat in front of the window in a sullen mood for a whole day. Aman thought she wanted to go out to play, so he comforted her: "Maybe the rain will stop in the evening, shall I accompany the princess to the Imperial Garden for a walk?"
But what she wanted to go to was actually facing the balcony, where a young man was always waiting for her alone, rain or shine.He was very kind to her, but he just didn't want to get close to her; he looked at her so tenderly, but he just didn't want to say he liked her. The 13-year-old Di Ji couldn't understand this kind of behavior, and while Aman was not paying attention, she secretly wiped away the tears that hurt the spring and autumn.
At dusk, the heavy rain gradually turned into a drizzle. Diji was so anxious that she couldn't wait for the rain to stop, so she hurried to the balcony without an umbrella.The facing balcony was wrapped in a rain curtain, and the mist was heavy.Zuo Zichen didn't know how long he had been waiting on it, his hair and clothes were wet, he held an umbrella in his hand but didn't open it, his purple figure looked lonely.
Di Ji couldn't help crying again, not knowing whether she was wronged for herself or for him.Walking slowly, he seemed to have heard footsteps a long time ago, and turned around with a smile. There was a warm, moist smile in his beautiful eyes.
"It's raining, does Di Ji still want to come out to play?" Maybe it was because there were only the two of them on the balcony, so it was rare that Xuan Zhu didn't come out to interrupt, his voice seemed much gentler than usual.
Di Ji bit her lip, hating him for being dull and blind, she couldn't see that she had changed into new clothes today, and she didn't react at all, wooden man!She grabbed her belt and said coldly on purpose: "I just like to come out to play, you don't mind me! Don't you always come to the balcony in a daze?"
Sure enough, he was so blocked that he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he opened the purple bamboo umbrella in his hand, covered her head, and said in a low voice: "Be careful of getting cold with wet clothes."
Diji suddenly felt an indescribable grievance.He refused to say anything, he just treated her so inexplicably, and when she became addicted and liked her, he would talk about being humble and keep her away.How could there be such a hateful person in the world?
She shook off his hand holding the umbrella and shouted, "Zuo Zichen! Do you like me or not?"
He froze, unable to speak for a long time.
Di Ji was furious again: "Or is it Xuanzhu that you like?"
He finally came to his senses, his face flushed red all of a sudden, and he explained: "How come... I never..."
"Then who do you like?" She almost yelled out her mighty overlord strength, "I've had enough! Zuo Zichen, I... Anyway, I like you! If you make trouble, it's your family If you dare to say no, I will... kill your nine clans!"
In desperation, she couldn't think of any way to threaten him, so she had to bring out the most ruthless one to scare him.
The purple bamboo umbrella rolled to the ground, and the drizzle fell on the heads of the two of them.Gold stars fluttered in front of Di Ji's eyes, she buried her head and refused to look at him, her legs were also a little weak, if she hadn't supported herself all at once, she would probably be as soft as noodles soon.After a long time, he still didn't make a sound, but Di Ji became more and more flustered, her mind went blank, she vaguely felt that she had just said too much, and tremblingly said: "Zhu Jiu Clan or something... I... I just Just kidding..."
He still didn't speak, standing opposite him like a silent statue.Di Ji's heart sank gradually, she twisted her clothes in embarrassment, and reluctantly nodded: "Okay... I see..."
She turned around and left, suddenly her shoulders tightened, and she was held tightly by a pair of warm hands.The next moment, her whole body fell into his wet embrace, and she almost died of being strangled.She groaned in pain, her wet, immature body, desperately approaching him, raised her arms, and hugged his neck tightly without showing any weakness.
Zuo Zichen held her head down to prevent her from looking up, with a tremor in her voice: "You are not joking, are you serious?"
Diji was so excited that she burst into tears, nodded vigorously, but couldn't say anything.
Her eyes were swollen from crying that day, and her image was completely lost. Obviously, it was the first time she knew that when people are too happy, they will also cry unspeakably.
After that day, the two should be together.When children first talk about love, it is inevitable that they will take it as funny, but Zuo Zichen is a wooden man, who doesn't understand sex at all, he will leave if he is asked to go, and stop if he is asked to stop. In the private meeting, he always sat on the chair well-behaved, and he blushed as soon as she leaned over her, which made Di Ji deeply ashamed of her wolf-like tiger.
Diji remembered that the second brother once liked a little maid beside the queen, she had red lips and white teeth, and the second brother copied some touching poems from somewhere, and wrote them on pink paper specially, folded a plum blossom and entrusted Diji with it To that maid of honor.
She flipped through it secretly, and there were nothing but desolate sentences such as "a fair lady, a gentleman loves her", "lovesickness is like the depth of the sea, and the heart is broken at the end of the world".It's a pity that the maid was illiterate, and she took the beautiful letter paper to light the brazier.
At that time she felt nasty, but now she secretly resented that Zuo Zichen wasn't nasty enough, so she couldn't help but hint at it from time to time.
"Have you read "The Book of Songs"? Can you recite "Guanju"?" When he came to the private meeting at night, Diji asked him pretending to be serious.
Zuo Zichen didn't understand for a while, and nodded honestly: "I have seen it. Why do you want me to recite this?"
Di Ji was so angry that she gritted her teeth and twisted her body into a mess: "What are you asking? Are you memorizing it!"
He felt that the little princess was getting more and more unruly, but also more and more cute.Although he always couldn't understand her sudden whimsy, he still didn't refuse - he was unwilling to refuse any request from her from the bottom of his heart.
"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. Fair lady, gentleman...so good..." After reciting four sentences, Zuo Zichen suddenly understood what she meant, and couldn't help pursing his lips into a half-smile looking at her.
Di Ji blushed, and deliberately made an appearance of "you are not allowed to think about it", pretending to be angry: "Why don't you recite it?"
Zuo Zichen looked at her tenderly, held her hand, and whispered: "Yanyan."
Di Ji also felt embarrassed, she seems too much for a girl's family, is it the same for girls from other families?Zuo Zichen must have been frightened, right?
"I'm leaving tomorrow." His sudden words woke up Diji, who was intoxicated in her little daughter's dream, and looked at him incredulously, muttering: "Going?"
Zuo Zichen embraced her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "I'm going to find Master, and marrying you is much more difficult than cultivating immortality."
Di Ji wondered, "What's the problem? Is your master not letting you get married?"
He didn't speak, just smiled faintly, and after a while, he said again: "Wait until you reach Ji. I can wait, but can't you?"
Di Ji's face turned red again: "Who said I can't wait? Just go! If you don't come, I'll marry someone else!"
Zuo Zichen's arms tightened twice, he wrapped her in his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead.Although the lips were as soft as before, they became a little hot today for some reason.Di Ji looked up at him in a daze.
Zuo Zichen whispered: "You are not allowed to marry others."
Before she finished speaking, those fiery lips touched her slightly parted lips lightly.
A kiss, light and tender, even a little jerky.Di Ji never drank alcohol, but she was already drunk at this moment.She has never been so eager to hope that she will grow up soon, and reach Ji soon.She loves him so much, and only him.For him, with jewels and emeralds on his head and a wedding gown, he will be happy for the rest of his life.
However, Diji still couldn't wait until Jiji's day.
When Diji was 14 years old, many things happened.
Zuo Zichen never came back, no matter how many letters she wrote, from the first miss to the last question, he never heard from him again; He threatened to cut off the heads of the royal family and hang them on the city wall to demonstrate; several elder brothers died on the battlefield one by one, the queen couldn't get sick because of this, and Emperor Bao'an died in despair and panic.
When she learned that the traitor was the Prime Minister of the Left, Di Ji suddenly understood.He must have known all this.So he never came back, so he deliberately disappeared.
What kind of man can hold you in his arms, kiss you gently, say he wants to marry you, but stab you hard in the back?What kind of cruel heart is it that can safely sit back and watch the country be destroyed and the demons rampant?Waiting for him until Jiji, with pearls and green hair, and wearing a wedding dress—what a silly joke.He will leave knowing that this promise will never be fulfilled.Her dream of being pregnant was just a play he watched coldly.
In a rage, Emperor Ji went to Katori Mountain alone.In fact, it is not difficult to find him, it is much simpler than imagined.It's just because of her wishful love that she would rather turn this long waiting into lingering lovesickness.She could never forget the cold and unfamiliar expression on Zuo Zichen's face when she stood in front of him.Xuan Zhu, who had been missing for a long time, held his arm, and the two of them leaned together like a pair of golden boys and jade girls.He said, "Girl, who are you?"
Di Ji didn't say anything. Before coming, she thought for ten days and ten nights, what to say and what to ask when she saw him.However, there is no need to ask anything now.Amid Xuan Zhu's screams, she stabbed Zuo Zichen blind in the eyes. In fact, she aimed at the neck at that time, trying to cut off his cruel head, but he blocked it instinctively and only stabbed him blind. eyes.
Punishing the national traitor was originally a joyful thing, but she didn't want to think about it for a long time afterwards.She felt as if she had never known Zuo Zichen before.Why should he smile at her, be kind to her, be gentle to her?Why blush?Why stand alone on the balcony facing her forever, waiting for her?Why is Fianlian as vicious as a snake and scorpion?
She really doesn't understand.
The human heart is so treacherous and fickle, it is more terrifying than any natural danger.What the monsters eat is the human body, but what people kill is the human heart.
When Tianyuan Kingdom set fire to the Dayan Palace, she quietly left with Aman.Both of them grew up in the imperial palace and had never experienced hardship. They wandered in the mountains and forests for several days. Due to panic and unwell diet, Aman fell ill.She had a high fever for three days and three nights. Fortunately, she met an old man who taught him the art of white paper psychics.He has a whole body of skills, but it is impossible for him to deal with a large number of monsters alone, so he also escaped from the palace.
The old gentleman checked Aman's condition carefully, shook his head and sighed: "The body is already weak to the extreme, and coupled with excessive worry and fear, I'm afraid it won't get better."
Di Ji has suffered so much in the past year, and her spirit has long been broken, she just wished she could cry aloud.But she couldn't cry yet, so she could only hold back, forced a smile and said, "I heard the tone of the gentleman, there should be help? Just say, no matter how difficult it is, I can do it."
The old gentleman glanced at her, a little embarrassed: "The old man once heard that the owner of Katori Mountain was good at refining all kinds of elixir pills when he was young. Among them, there is a purple elixir that can cure all kinds of diseases. But the princess and that Zuo Zi Chen... I'm afraid..."
Diji got up and ran out, leaving only one sentence: "Sir, wait for me!"
But in the end she still didn't get the elixir, she threw away all her self-esteem and knelt in front of Zuo Zichen's room for a day and a night, all she got was Zuo Zichen's avoidance.Xuanzhu looked very embarrassed, and sighed: "Diji is trying to save someone, so I should have given it to you. But you seriously injured Zichen last time, and he has already taken the purple spirit pill, and there is no second spirit pill in the mountains." Why don't you ask Diji elsewhere? You have a lot of friends, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a panacea."
Diji's face was ashen and dead, and for the first time she begged her in a low voice: "Even if there is no purple spirit pill, other similar ones are fine. Xuanzhu, please help me."
Xuanzhu smiled and was about to speak when Zuo Zichen suddenly called softly in the room: "Xuanzhu? Where are you?" She hurriedly turned and went in, and it took a long time before she came out with a pack of medicine and threw it on the In front of her: "Shanzhu only has these medicines for bruises left. If you need them, you can take them all."
Injuries from bruises... Di Ji slowly picked up the package of medicine, and then slowly opened it.The bread inside is just some things that can be bought in ordinary pharmacies, and when added together, the price is only one tael of silver.
She was stunned for a long time, Xuanzhu said with a smile: "Look, it's not that I won't help you. In fact, Zichen hates you so much, he's just afraid that you won't die fast enough."
Di Ji threw the package of medicine into the Xuanzhu all over her head and face, and walked away in a huff.
When he returned to the forest, Aman was already dead, lying stiffly on the rough thatched grass, as if he had fallen asleep.
She pressed Aman's hand tightly to her face, feeling her heart beating extremely fast, as if a sword had poked holes in her body one after another, the pain was severe, but her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed a single tear.
There are no tools and no bricks.Aman's tomb was dug out bit by bit by Di Ji with her hands. She split a piece of wood and carved the words "Aman's Tomb" on it with a hairpin.Di Ji sat blankly in front of the tomb with her knees hugged for several days.
The old gentleman comforted her: "People cannot be resurrected after death, Di Ji should not be too sad. You are not yet the time to be discouraged."
Di Ji whispered: "Sir, I can't live anymore..." Before she could say a word, she already fainted.
She was seriously ill in pain and anxiety, and almost died. At the moment of dying, she suddenly realized that the degree of trauma that the human heart can endure is limited, and some pains will be remembered for a lifetime. Warn yourself not to make the same mistake again in the future.But some pain, it is better to forget it.
The song "Dongfeng Peach Blossom" on the balcony, the intoxicating eyes of the young man in the dusk, the almost suffocating jerky kiss under the moonlight - it seems to be something from the previous life. Di Ji wondered if she really loved a man, really I thought about marrying him and growing old hand in hand.
By the way... what's that man's name?She seems to have forgotten.
It's good to forget like that.
Although there are still many people in this world, every heart is cold.Love is born from nothing, hate is born from love; love is lingering at dawn, and love is dead at night.The love and hate that many people regard as so heavy, in the end, they can't withstand the changes in the cold hearts.
Everything has a cause and effect, and there is a reason for it. This is her retribution for being too naive.
The old man said that there is a kind of artifact called the soul lamp in the world, which was searched and taken away by the owner of Mount Katori, and hidden deep in the treasure house.If you can get that treasure, you can avenge your country's revenge.
After recovering from her illness, Diji left Dayan with her husband and came to a small country in the west, where she started to study with him.She has more important things to do, and she can't let her life be wasted in the boundless void.
Jiji was 15 years old, and her husband named her Qin Chuan.
The Emperor Ji of the Great Yan Kingdom has truly disappeared from the world since then.
One day in September, Fu Jiuyun, who had been looking for rare treasures for the mountain master, came back, and Zuo Zichen took Xuanzhu to see him.
Xuanzhu has just become a disciple of the Mountain Lord, and other people can be missed, but the eight disciples around the Mountain Lord must know each other, and Fu Jiuyun is one of them.It is said that he started very early, his strength is unfathomable, he is just romantic, he always likes to hang out with women, he does not have close contacts with other disciples, so his reputation is not as good as other senior disciples.But the owner of the mountain obviously relies on him very much, and all the most precious treasures are entrusted to him to take care of, which shows his trust.
Xuanzhu held Zuo Zichen's arm as she walked slowly among the flying red leaves, she was truly satisfied now.
I remember that when Tianyuan Kingdom drove demons to invade Dayan, the first to suffer were these vassal states.Emperor Bao'an was cowardly and despicable, and he only cared about protecting himself. No matter how many requests from the princes, begging Dayan to send a national teacher to calm the war, he ignored it.In the confusion, she escaped alone, groped for an unknown amount of time, and finally fainted outside Katori Mountain.
It was Zuo Zichen who saved her, but he had already forgotten everything about the Great Yan Kingdom, and even Di Ji couldn't remember who it was.This way of forgetting is extremely strange, as if a memory was forcibly sealed away by someone.The tampered person seemed unwilling to remember that he had a lingering love with Dayan.
Naturally, she was quite pleased with this fact.
He forgot everything, and from now on, she would be the only one in his heart.He will always understand that she is the only one in this world who treats him the most sincerely, without reservation, and with everything.It doesn't matter if the Zuo family is treasonous, or Dayan is destroyed, and everyone in the world is dead, as long as he is still around, she doesn't care about anything.
It is impossible for Di Ji to love him like this.
Since childhood, Xuan Zhu has been looking for a way to completely defeat Di Ji, and now she has finally found it.No other woman would love Zuo Zichen like her. In this almost desperate and terrifying love, Diji finally lost to her.
Xuanzhu felt supremely happy.
Finally meeting the legendary and suave Fu Jiuyun, he is quite different from the playboy he imagined.He didn't look like a teenager, but he wasn't old either, so people couldn't guess his age.There is a tear mole in his eye, and he has a unique and heart-pounding innocence when he smiles, but when he is not smiling, he looks a little gloomy, as if he is hiding endless thoughts.
He was drinking alone by the window, and there were already a dozen wine jugs piled up under his feet.Xuan Zhu frowned when she smelled the smell of alcohol in the room.
Fu Jiuyun didn't look back, he was looking at the eastern sky, lost in thought.Xuanzhu moved a little bit, a little impatient, the next moment he suddenly turned his head, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked her up from head to toe in an instant.Xuanzhu even had the illusion that she was naked in front of him, and her face flushed immediately.
Fu Jiuyun only glanced at her, then turned to look at Zuo Zichen, seeing his tightly closed eyes, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "What's wrong with the eyes?"
Zuo Zichen didn't want to answer this question, because he couldn't tell or remember.Walking over to take the jug, he poured himself a glass of wine. Seeing that Fu Jiuyun was unhappy and not talking and laughing like before, he said softly, "You seem to be having a bad time when you go out these days."
Fu Jiuyun smiled mockingly, looked at Xuan Zhu again, and said, "Leave me alone, I know you are doing well. Throw away the old one and embrace the new one."
Zuo Zichen was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Fu Jiuyun didn't answer, but slowly drank the wine in the glass, keeping his eyes on the eastern sky.The clouds there were rolling like silk, and it was clear, and the cool wind was blowing towards his face, making his eyes slightly narrowed.
He remembered that day, the rain had been falling intermittently, and the crystal clear drops of water rolled down from the leaves of the willow tree, and he counted each drop in his heart.He used the painting as bait, hoping that she would take the bait. She was a little fish in the sea of his heart, swimming around, not knowing when to bite the bait.And a little afraid of her coming, she is still young and innocent, how can she understand?
He was on the bank of the ring belt river, watching the drizzle turn into sunset glow, watching the willow leaves being washed green and tender, watching many people coming and going, he was happy and anxious in his heart, happy because the person he was waiting for was the one and only her, Anxious for her delay in coming.
He also thought of the destroyed Great Yan, the once exquisite imperial palace was burned on the flames, leaving only the dark and decadent ruins.The remnants of the tall and magnificent facing balcony are still there, and a large part of it collapsed, leaving behind a piece of charred white stone railing, on which she once danced a song "East Wind Peach Blossom Song", and her fiery red dress brushed over it .
Now, together with Dayan, she perishes in the ever-changing world.
He has been waiting for someone, but he knows that she will never come.
