Chang Anqing

Chapter 303
As Yang Xingjian shouldered the guilt, was stripped of his title, and was banned from the Prince Xuan's Mansion, the rumors and rumors that had stirred up people's hearts during this period finally came to an end.

Now everyone knows that it was Yang Xingjian who was overconfident and failed to provoke Princess Yuling that day, and then was inferior to others when Princess Yuling was shocked by an arrow in front of everyone and lost face. Stir up the situation and blame it on the palace of Yuling Prince.

If it's just others, it's no surprise that these things fell on Yang Xingjian's head. After all, he is wandering around every day, riding horses in the street, lawless, and the domineering Yang Xingjian's reputation has long been ruined on the street. There is nothing that people can't do.

Therefore, Sheng Ming, who treated the emperor equally and killed his relatives righteously, made the people clap their hands and lamented the luck of Ming Jun in power.

At the same time, the Empress Li and the Prince personally visited the Lu Mansion and asked Lu Zhou, a Confucian who had experienced five dynasties, to be the Prince's Taifu. What surprised the world was that she never pursued fame and fortune, let alone contaminate the royal family of the Xing Dynasty. Lu Gong agreed uncharacteristically.

At that moment, everyone was surprised.You know, even today's son wanted to ask Lu Gong to come out of the mountain to be an official but was rejected. It can be seen that the East Palace is now high-spirited and upright.

How is this not commendable?
At that moment, for the first time, Yang Chongyuan, who had always been in control of everything and was as stable as Mount Tai, had an uneasy premonition that the chess game would collapse.

He can deeply understand that Erlang, the benevolent woman in his eyes, grasps the weakness of human nature step by step with a gentle way completely different from his, and wins over those hearts that even he can't win over.

Behind him is the Li family of Longxi, with Zhao Yi assisting in his left hand, and now with the assistance of scholars headed by Lu Zhou in his right hand.

This is undoubtedly like a tiger with wings added to the East Palace and the Queen.

When he heard the news, Li Sui smiled and sat under the window with Zhao Yi, and fell down with the sound of rain.

She knew that the game in front of her was getting more and more interesting.

At the moment when she borrowed the hands of Yang Che and Yang Zhao to seriously injure the Prince Xuan's mansion, but instead used Yang Yan's benevolent heart to plead for the Chen family to win over the scholars.

Yang Chongyuan is no longer the only player in this game of chess.

After all, even if the emperor's poisoning was "false", the moment the benevolent prince heard the news, he would not hesitate to take the risk of offending the emperor, disobeying and disobedience, and desperately admonishing him.

How can such a pure heart that is not stained by dust can be compared with Yang Chongyuan's powerful and greedy heart.

So what, can't impress Lu Gong, who has the iron bones of a literati and a noble lintel?

Fortune comes and misfortune lies, and misfortune lies.

In this world, there are no perfect saints, and there are no useless mortals.

In the blink of an eye, the morning golden light fell on the green bamboo forest outside the window, and Li Sui's birthday came as scheduled.

With nervousness and anticipation, Li Sui, accompanied by Zhao Yi, drove towards Yuqing Temple with his father Li Zhang.

With the sound of bells and chimes surrounding the mountain, Li Sui and his party finally arrived at the quiet courtyard deep in the bamboo forest under the early morning sun.

Huichun, who was waiting in the corridor, saw the three people coming in the morning light, his eyes blushed with excitement, and he greeted them briskly with a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his uneasiness and hidden worry .

"Duke, Concubine, King."

Without waiting for Huichun to salute, Li Sui had already helped her up first, with a gentle smile on his brows as always.

"Chun Niang, get up quickly."

Following Li Sui's strength to get up, Hui Chun saw Li Sui in front of her and looked at the closed door behind her and said, "Aniang, are you okay?"

Hearing the serenity in the words of the princess, who has always been full of confidence, but with a bit of caution, Hui Chun felt extremely sad for a moment, like a knife stabbing her. Looking at Li Sui who was getting more and more stable in front of her, she couldn't help thinking that she would be with her in the past. In front of her, she was tired of the little princess who was coquettish and soft-spoken in the arms of the eldest princess.

"The fairy teacher is very good, the princess is at ease."

Hearing these words, Li Sui nodded, and finally said: "Then, Lao Chunniang informed me, just say—"

After a pause, Li Sui smiled but said sadly: "Ah Man is not filial, I came to visit on my birthday today."

"princess--"

Hearing Li Sui's self-deprecating words, Huo Chun's words were sour, but she finally said with hidden tears: "Your servants will go now, the duke, the concubine and the king should sit down and wait."

Li Sui smiled and nodded when he heard this, patted Huichun's hand comfortingly, looked back at the wisteria flower stand, and said to Li Zhang and Zhao Yi, "Aye, let's sit under the flower stand."

Sitting down, Huichun had ordered someone to serve new tea, under the same flower stand, there was also fresh tea brewed by the snow water buried by Auntie herself, and his father was also sitting beside him.

Only today's state of mind is no longer the excitement and relaxation of reunion like last year, but just like my father's uneasy pleading side.

Pushing open the door and entering, looking at Mrs. Chen who was kneeling with her back facing her and reciting scriptures, Huichun suppressed the worries in her heart, and tried her best to keep her voice as usual: "Master Immortal, Duke, King Yuling, and Princess Wang are here. "

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was unmoved, Hui Chun cautiously said again: "Today is the princess' birthday, the princess is filial, and I am here to pay a visit—"

"Let them go back."

"Immortal Master—"

Hearing that cold, clean, and neat response, Huichun was stunned at first, but couldn't hold back tears in the next moment, and asked in a voice: "This is the first birthday of the princess after she left the cabinet, and today there is an imperial mausoleum." The king will accompany you, you'd better see the princess."

However, no matter how earnest the voice was, no matter how moving the hearts of the people, the Chen family who was kneeling there still kept his back straight, as cold as a sapphire statue, and did not respond at all.

"Immortal Master—"

Once again, Huichun's choking voice sounded almost stubbornly in the room: "Please let me go, forgive the Duke, Wangfei."

Hearing the sobbing and crying behind her, the solemn Chen frowned lightly, trying to hold the scriptures in her hands, and forced herself to read out every single word, trying to dispel the karma in her heart.

The longer he waited outside, the colder Li Sui's heart became. Looking at the roof under the morning light, Li Sui was already prepared for the worst.

At this moment, with the sound of the door, Li Sui saw Huichun who forced himself to laugh, but couldn't hide the weeping and red eyes, his heart finally "thumped", and he put it back coldly.

"Duke, Concubine, King."

After making the next salute, Huichun tried his best to smile with Li Sui as usual: "The immortal master said, I don't expect anything else, but I hope that the princess will live a safe and smooth life, be healthy and happy."

Hearing this sentence, Li Sui glanced at Hui Chun in front of him, and comforted him with a smile: "I know Chun Niang, A Niang didn't say anything."

"Thank you."

Being exposed to lies easily, Hua Chun's face loosened, and he could no longer hold back his tears and said: "Princess."

Li Sui didn't blame him, but just shook his head. With infinite thoughts, he took out a simple small box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, a string of pure sandalwood beads lay quietly in it.

"I heard that every time you turn a fragrant bead, you can reduce the worries in your heart. I made it for Auntie with my own hands. Chunniang, please give it to Auntie for me."

While talking, under the surging tears of Huichun, under the guilt in Li Zhang's dark eyes, Zhao Yi who was beside him clearly saw the inexplicable loneliness from Li Sui's smiling eyebrows and eyes.

So bitter, so helpless.

Huichun choked out a low sob, waited to see the backs of the group gradually disappearing into the bamboo forest, and finally walked back with his head down and wiped away his tears.

"Master Immortal, this is the concubine personally stringing it up for you."

In the hoarse words, Hui Chun quietly knelt down and handed the box to Mrs. Chen, and quietly retreated.

After a long time, Chen stretched out her hand tremblingly, took the string of plain fragrant wood beads, and moved them silently one by one.

Her throat was choked like a pinprick, and Chen Shi smiled silently while closing her eyes, but it was a step behind the tears that fell down.

Every time the fragrance beads are moved, the worries and sins will be reduced, but why her heart can't calm down at all.

Letting herself go, can she really let herself go and forgive herself in this life?

Is she qualified to forgive herself on behalf of her dead relatives and the Chen clan?

At night, the Furong Garden by the Qujiang Pool is full of neon lights, the sound of oars and the shadows of lights. Looking at the bustling banquet in front of him, the intoxicating and magnificent scenery, and the barbarian singing and dancing that set the atmosphere to the extreme, Li Sui smiled. He mingled with others, but he didn't take it into his heart at all.

Last year's banquet was held in Hua'e Xianghui Building, perhaps because of the swords and swords that night, my aunt didn't want to bring up bad things, so this year's birthday banquet was held in Furong Garden.

However, Li Sui remembered that Sister Auntie died on the night that she met her for the last time in Furong Garden.

Be it Huae Xianghui Building or Furong Garden, Daming Palace, Chang'an City, where there is no sad thing left.

Her heart has long been numb and hard.

After drinking one glass after another, Li Sui felt more and more sober.

At this moment, Li Zhang, who has always been prudent and self-sufficient, passed away drunk before Li Sui. Facing this scene, Li Sui understood in his heart that he might not be drunk tonight, but worried.

Under the care of the empress, Li Sui was the protagonist, but tonight he and Zhao Yi took the lead to leave the stage, and returned by car with the dejected Li Zhang.

"My lord, my concubine, here we are."

Hearing Zong Ming's voice outside the car, Zhao Yi got out of the car first, glanced at his father who hadn't woken up yet, Li Sui lowered his eyelids in silence, and heard the sound of the soft curtain being lifted by his ears, Fang followed suit, But I saw the Duke's Mansion outside the car, and it was clear——

"Aman, let's go."

Looking back, Li Sui saw his father who was clearly sober, smiling kindly and encouraging her.

"Aye?"

Under the eyes of Li Sui who hadn't reacted yet, his father just nodded gently and said to her: "Today is your birthday, you should live happily, don't pretend, don't have to be for anyone."

At this moment, looking at his father who was comforting her and thinking of her as always, Li Sui smiled but cried. After a long time, he nodded with tears in his eyes.

Turning around, Fang left the car, and a slender and distinct hand appeared in front of his eyes. After looking, Li Sui saw Zhao Yi standing in front of the car, like a green hill under the moon, calm and reassuring.

Seeing the two drifting away, Li Zhang sat in the car with a smile and was relieved, although regretful.

"Let's go."

As Li Zhang drove away quietly, Li Sui and Zhao Yi came to a pool side by side, listening to the rippling water, and looking at a small boat parked in front of them.

Li Sui couldn't help but said: "You, don't you want to go boating?"

Seeing Zhao Yi get on the boat noncommittally, and then motioned for her to get on the boat, Li Sui still couldn't help doubting, "Are you sure, you know how to go boating?"

"In this world, is there anything difficult to get me?"

Hearing these arrogant words, Li Sui curled his lips disapprovingly, and then tentatively boarded the boat the next moment.

"Wow--" With the sound of the water waves hit by the oars falling into the water, Li Sui, who was on the boat, saw the light boat on the water, under Zhao Yi's familiar driving, leaving the shore steadily and heading for the center of the water.

Under the clear moonlight, the sound of oars and the shadow of lamps brought bursts of cool water vapor, dispelling the long-standing depression in Li Sui's heart.Then, going deeper, accompanied by the elegant lotus fragrance, the boat gradually entered the depths of the lotus flowers. At that moment, Li Sui saw the fireflies all over the sky quietly fluttering on the water waves, gathering more and more towards their boat. More, the more you gather, the closer you get.

It's like entering a fairyland, very quiet.

"Plucking lotus in Nantang in autumn, the lotus flower surpasses people's heads.

Bow your head to get the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water.

Putting the lotus in the sleeve, the lotus heart is completely red.

Recalling that Lang Lang didn't arrive, I looked up at Feihong.

……

The dream of sea water is long, the king is worried and I am also worried.

The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou. "

When he reached Anyi, Li Sui spread the silk handkerchief in his sleeve on the boat, lay down, and put his head on it, looking at the starry sky twinkling like a vast sea, and at the glowing fireflies competing with the stars.Unable to loosen his eyebrows, he hummed softly.

Seeing Li Sui lying there with his right hand fixed in the air, watching Liuying falling on Ruyu's fingertips twinkling and shining brightly.

There was a faint smile in Zhao Yi's eyes, his hands became lighter and lighter, and the boat became more and more stable.

I only hope that this moment of tranquility will stay.

After about a cup of tea, when he heard the muffled sound of the boat approaching the shore, Li Suishi opened his misty eyes and suddenly found that he had fallen asleep peacefully.

"woke up?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's voice, Li Sui sat up comfortably with Zhao Yi's outstretched hand and said: "Why don't you move this boat and this scene back to the palace, so that you can sleep well even if you suffer from insomnia every night. "

"If you want to sleep, you can come every day."

Li Sui raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but saw that Zhao Yi had already jumped ashore and fixed the boat, so he helped Li Sui ashore.

With a gust of wind, the dark forest in front of him was suddenly brightly lit. At that moment, Li Sui saw the plain white snow as if in a dream.

Yes, in this hot summer day, she actually saw the charming Feixue, and even had a fragrance that she couldn't describe, which almost fell into her heart.

"This is, Snow?"

Hearing Li Sui's unbelievable sigh, seeing her stunned eyes shining under the moonlight, Zhao Yi said with a tenderness he didn't know: "Qinghua."

"This is Qionghua."

Hearing this answer, Li Sui turned around in astonishment, and in Zhao Yi's eyes she saw the affirmation that surprised her so much that she couldn't be more surprised.

"Joan Flower."

Whispering and whispering, Li Sui walked step by step towards the tidbits blown by the breeze. At that moment, for some reason, she was filled with unknown and unknown tears.

It turns out that Chang'an can also see the Qionghua all over the sky?
Seeing the Qionghua that she never had time to see in her previous life.

At this moment, she seemed to realize it suddenly.

I realized that on the summer night in the previous life, when Yang Yan lit the lights in Chang'an and took Jiu Ge to see the magnificent scene of lotus in the pond, Jiu Ge couldn't hold back his tears.

Walking into that tree after tree, the viburnum trees all over the mountain, looking at the petals of the viburnum, which are as white as jade, Li Sui's heart throbbed and his face was moved.

It is one of the few surprises and comforts for her today's birthday to be able to move this eye-full viburnum tree from the distant Guangling.

This kind of heart was something she had never thought of.

"Thank you."

Li Sui looked back and said to Zhao Yi with a smile: "I like it very much."

Under the sky full of snowy tidbits, Zhao Yi walked step by step, and said lightly and easy-goingly: "You and I are husband and wife, and we are allies. There is no need to thank you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yi took out a box from his sleeve, handed it to Li Sui, and said, "I wish the princess a happy birthday, peace and success."

Hearing these familiar words, Li Sui couldn't help thinking back to Huae Xianghui upstairs last year, and he did the same, sending her the same birthday wishes.

She was very surprised that time, but now she accepted it with a smile.

Opening the box, Li Sui saw an old fragrant sandalwood hairpin lying quietly in the box with the light, and then the wind passed and the flowers fell, and the petaled Qionghua fell on the hairpin, Li Sui couldn't help but chuckled.

She likes to fall asleep with old fragrant sandalwood, so he gave her the old fragrant sandalwood hairpin.

Although old-fashioned, but with the heart.

While rubbing her hand, Li Sui felt the smooth polishing, although it was simple, it was more reassuring than the clothes she was wearing, and the many rare treasures she got today.

"Put it on for me."

In the words, Li Sui handed the hairpin to Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi took over the hairpin which he personally went to the mountain to select wood, learn from a teacher, carve and polish it himself, and put it into Li Sui's blue silk lightly and steadily inch by inch. middle.

The moment they bowed their heads, among the flowers and fireflies, the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, although they didn't say anything, they didn't do anything.

But it gave the scene tonight, the ultimate romance.
