Empress Fenghua

Chapter 69 The Heartstrings
Xue Wuhen already had profound martial arts skills, and under the meticulous care of Hua Zhong and Mo Jishu, she soon returned to normal.The weather is getting cooler, but the Qinyan Garden still seems to maintain a summer scene. Wuyuexue is a unique exotic flower that blooms all year round.

Xue Wuhen sat on the steps in front of the door and looked at the falling flowers like snow petals, feeling a burst of warmth from her shoulders.Looking back, she saw Hua Zhong's indifferent face as light as smoke, and Xue Wuhen smiled awkwardly.

"I'm just sitting here for a while, it's okay, why bother bringing the cloak over again? I'm a little hot!" Xue Wuhen tightened the snow-blue cloak on her body, warming her whole body.

Hua Zhong also sat down next to Xue Wuhen, "Seeing the white May Snow all year round, it reminds me of pear blossoms. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of pear trees bloom. May Snow and pear blossoms They are very similar, but they are open all seasons, I don't know what the origin of this is!"

Xue Wuhen smiled, "Wuyuexue is a unique flower and tree of the Snow Clan, which can grow and bloom in extremely cold places. As you said, the Snow Clan is just like thousands of trees and thousands of pear trees blooming, a snow-white scene. Later, the world was divided into three parts, and every few years the Snow Clan would send some flowers and trees to the royal family of the Three Kingdoms, but few people planted them and survived. Presumably this Wuyue Xue was given to the royal family of the Cheng Kingdom at that time. Your mother was deeply cared for by Emperor Cheng , the status is precious. Maybe this Wu Yuexue was given to your mother by Emperor Cheng!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Ning Xinian built this garden specially for my mother, but he never came in. Except for that stone room, I can't feel any breath of my mother. I don't think my mother has ever loved Ning Xinian's daughter, but I don't know why she is willing to commit herself to the Ning Mansion until she gives birth to me. I also don't understand why Ning Xinian is willing to let his mother take up the title of his wife, while pregnant with someone else's flesh and blood."

Xue Wuhen raised the corners of her mouth, her eyes shone with a burning brilliance, "With the peerless demeanor of Hengyang county magistrate, I don't think Ning Xinian has ever been in her sight, but it was Ning Xinian who gave her the most difficult time. She has a place to stay. Maybe we are all wrong. No matter how strong the feelings are, they can't match the plainness of fleeting years. I think Ning Xinian loved your mother, but this love ended in fruitlessness. Buried deep in my heart, it gradually turned into fulfillment and abandonment.”

Hua Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Perhaps Ning Xinian felt that my mother went around and returned to him. Maybe he was willing to put aside everything and accept me as someone else's child in order to win my mother's heart. It's a pity that my mother gave birth to me. Dead, her heart has never been shaken!"

"Ning Xinian's love is like a peach blossom at the end of spring, it's already dead before it blooms! It's easy to pick up, but hard to put it down. Maybe he didn't care about you before, but he just doesn't want to think about it again." Xue Wuhen looked at Hua Zhong listening seriously, as if she was a child, and had never seen her so close.

Hua Zhong looked at Xue Wuhen's face close at hand, and couldn't help feeling a little moved, "It seems like we've never talked like this before, and now it seems that you are not so annoying. Xue Wuhen, thank you for saving me , but I have my own way to go, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your favor in this life! I didn't want to owe you, but in the end I still can't pay it off. "

"I said that liking you is my business and has nothing to do with you." Xue Wuhen smiled indifferently like a soft moon, "The sacred objects of the Snow Clan have been enshrined for thousands of years, but they were taken away by the previous generation of Snow Clan spirit girls when they fled. It fell into the hands of Xu Changfeng. Presumably the only one who knows where it is now is Princess Xinyang. That's why I came to Chengguo from a long distance, looking for you for me because of your identity. But what is more important to me now is It's you! With my ability, it's so difficult to conquer the world, but it's a pity that I only sought you from the beginning to the end."

Xue Wuhen looked a little bewildered, "I have lived my whole life for the Xue Clan and for the temple on the holy mountain. I have lived up to the Xue Clan and the temple, but I have failed myself!"

Hua Zhong didn't know what kind of pain Xue Wuhen had experienced, but what he said at the moment when he was detoxified just hit Hua Zhong's heart inadvertently.He has soaked in the cold pool of the Snow Clan's holy mountain since he was a child, and there are all kinds of poisonous flowers and plants in it, how could a child be able to bear it?Hua Zhong didn't know what kind of torture experience he had, but he could still smile like a peach blossom!

Hua Zhong smiled leisurely, "You once said to invite me to drink the most beautiful pear blossom fragrance in the world. Now, how about my pear blossom fragrance? Could it be that the majestic Snow Clan young master would lie to me as a little girl?"

Xue Wuhen smiled knowingly, "The fragrance of pear blossoms comes from the pear blossoms that bloom in March of the Snow Clan, and the snow water from the Tianshan Mountains is sealed in the ice altar of the Holy Land. Now I am thousands of miles away from the Snow Clan, where do you want me to find it? Don't worry." , I have already sent someone back to get it, and I promise to let you taste my wine-making skills!"

"Is the pear blossom fragrance the wine you brewed yourself?" Hua Zhong couldn't help but marvel, remembering what he told himself at the time of the first painting, the pear blossom fragrance is clear and pure, mellow and mellow, which makes people get off their horses and get slightly drunk.

Xue Wuhen was proud, "Except for me, Xue Wuhen, who else can brew such a peerless wine like Lihuaxiang? Do you remember the kind of wine that King Changji said last time in the Swallow Tower?"

Hua Zhong has an unforgettable memory, and the same is true for what he said to the people and things he met. "Yao Guang?"

Xue Wuhen nodded, "Yao Guang's name means the shimmering water of Yao Chi, and it has already been sought after by the world. But my pear blossom fragrance has been passed down to the world, but it has become the best in the world!"

Xue Wuhen turned around and looked at Hua Zhong's slightly surprised appearance, and couldn't help but smile, "I can't help being proficient in the art of brewing wine, and I also have a little bit of rites and music, shooting royal books, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, strange stories in the world, Qimen Dunjia, etc. Are you surprised now?" Is it still early?"

Hua Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Wuhen with interest, "Besides these, your martial arts skills are outstanding and your swordsmanship is exquisite. I was wondering what else in this world you don't know?"

Xue Wuhen thought about it seriously, "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, this young master can't cook!"

Hua Zhong sneered and ignored Xue Wuhen, thinking of the jade flute he gave him, his eyes lit up, "The jade flute you and I carry must be superb in Xiao skills. How about letting me see Young Master Xue's Xiao skills today?" ?" Hua Zhong took out the jade flute and spun it around, "Let's play together with the flute! I'll play a piece, and if you can harmonize, you'll win!"

"it is good!"

Xue Wuhen picked up the jade flute, and the spotless robe seemed that even the petals couldn't bear to stain him with dust.The back is tall and straight, like a lotus flower lying quietly on the snow, emitting a soft light like a pearl.Those star-like eyes are full of eagerness, and there is always a sense of arrogance.

Hua Zhong thought about it carefully, as if he had never seen failure and abjection in those eyes, and they always had such a majestic demeanor of the world, the sun and the moon, and only me!

Hua Zhong sits quietly in front of the piano, stretches his wide sleeves, twists his Qianqian jade hands, and a feather of Gongshangjiao pours out...

The sound of the piano is clear and beautiful, high and low, light and loud, like the soft words of my lover Wu Nong, and like weeping and complaining at the time of parting.

Xue Wuhen's eyes were full of surprise, she tapped her finger lightly, and a melodious and deep flute fluttered along with the sound of the piano.The sound of the flute is long and clear, and the sound of the qin is clear, and every time it is played and blown, it even arouses the praise of all birds.In Qinyan Garden, there is a spectacle of falling flowers like snow and a hundred birds listening quietly.

Gradually, there are occasional pearls and jade jumping in the bass, clear and short, one after another, the number of sounds gradually increases, first like the splash of a singing spring, and then like a group of flowers competing for beauty, the flowers are full of flowers, and there are interstitial birds, singing and me, gradually The birds are gone, and the spring flowers are falling, but the sound of the rain is heard, and there is a scene of desolation and death. The drizzle is continuous, if there is nothing, and finally everything is silent.

The eyes of the two were burning, and they both looked shocked.

Hua Zhong smiled in relief, "I didn't expect that there would be a spectacle of hundreds of birds converging when you and I play the qin and flute together. Could it be that this qin and jade flute have other famous tricks?"

Xue Wuhen snorted, "It is usually said that the qin has nine virtues, that is to say: strange, ancient, transparent, quiet, smooth, round, clear, uniform, and fragrant. Of course, a qin with both nine virtues is a very rare treasure. Generally speaking, if you can possess the three virtues, it is already a rare and good piano. Your 'Nine Heavens Ring Pendant' is already superior, and it is rare to see. There are so many subtleties in the world, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a good piano in a lifetime."

Xue Wuhen rubbed the jade flute in his hand, his eyes sparkled, "This jade flute is called 'Sigh', and the sound is resentful, rustling in the autumn wind. If someone with deep inner strength and proficiency in Xiao skills can communicate with Sigh, then It has the effect of flying snow in the south of the Yangtze River. It is indeed a rare treasure in the world."

After hearing what Xue Wuhen said, Hua Zhong couldn't help smiling as he watched the birds in the courtyard gradually disperse. "Young Master Xue is really generous. First he gave me the famous and fearful Xiaoyu Sword, and now he silently gave me the wonder of this world. I really don't know how to thank him. No wonder Bai The birds gather together, and they have such a wonderful sound, it is not in vain for them to come and work hard!"

Xue Wuhen shook his head with a smile, "Everything has a spirit. This song is exquisite and has nothing to do with musical instruments. The ancients said that the sound of heartstrings can attract spirits."

Xue Wuhen frowned suddenly, a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.Putting down his sigh, he took off the thin belt of his cloak, "I have something to do, I have to go first. Take care of yourself, the situation in the court is getting tense, don't trust anyone easily!"

Seeing Xue Wuhen's rapid transformation, Hua Chong couldn't help feeling a little uneasy and doubtful in his heart.But seeing Xue Wuhen's eagerness, he nodded, "You can go with peace of mind!"

Xue Wuhen tapped her toes and flew away.Hua Zhong looked at the disappearing figure of Xue Wuhen, and stroked the sighing Xiao who lay quietly on the table...
