Qingchuan History

Chapter 165 Walking Barefoot (Part [-])
Auntie shook her head lightly: "I came to you today because I wanted to explain a few words to you. Madam Dingzhen asked me to take care of you before she died. Over the years, right and wrong, right and wrong, I can no longer meet you in the future." Face her. Fortunately, you are safe and healthy to this day, so I finally did not let her down too much. "

While talking, she leaned forward slightly, looked into Chunfeng's eyes and said seriously:
"The thing I'm most worried about now is your marriage. Ying Zhong, although I don't know his real identity, I always feel that this name is not his real name. What's more, he may not be from Wei country at all. I hide my identity so For many years, I feel very accurate about these things. If he came to Jidu with his identity covered, then his position is very problematic. This person cannot be married."

Gu Chunfeng didn't know how to answer.Ah Xie has always been careful and cautious, and has such a formidable identity, she is not surprised that what she said right now.She hesitated whether to tell her about Ruan Zhong, thought over and over again, but finally did not speak.

Ah Xi thought she was not reconciled, and continued:

"I don't really understand what you said. But in the first 20 years of my life, what I saw and heard in Qi Palace for ten years, I have repeatedly verified the same truth: the height must win the cold. It is good to take the initiative No matter if you are passive, you stand on a high place and you have to endure the cold. The world is fair after all, and everyone’s gains and losses are actually the same. The more you gain, the more you lose. You are the princess of Daqi, Doomed to be subject to many constraints, because behind you, there will be a family and a country that will rise and fall."

Seeing that she was still silent, Ah Pei sighed:
"This means that you may not be able to marry the person who makes you stunned. If you can, it is luck; If you are not reconciled, you can make a decision after finding out the origin of Ying Zhong. But when making a decision, you must remember who you are, who is standing behind you, and once you choose, what consequences may it bring."

Chunfeng stared at her for a while, then said quietly: "I never thought that you would still use your family and country to persuade me."

"I'm not for my family and country. I'm only for you." Ah Xie sighed again, her tone became remote, "The situation in Qingchuan is treacherous now. As a child of the royal family, it's a blessing not to die for this battle. Your family loves you Protecting you will never put you in danger; the choice you made for you today is the best choice after careful consideration. Because he is the person who stands at the highest point in Qi country, and he is also one of the smartest people on this continent Man, the marriage he refers to will surely keep you safe for the rest of your life, free from the turmoil of this troubled world."

"Ah, it's a terrible thing to grow up. What do you think?"

Auntie was startled, not sure if she heard what she said just now, she was a little anxious, and there was nothing she could do, "That's right. Once you are an adult, you can't just run away. Even if you run, you can't run far, and you can hide for a long time. Except Face it, there is no other way."

"Do you remember my birthday when I was 16 years old? From the imperial palace to Jidu City, there was such a big celebration. Now that I think about it, it was even more lively than the Tianchang Festival."

Her eyes lit up, and when Auntie saw it, she was also quite emotional: "I remember. Your ninth brother always loves you, and said that the 16th birthday must be celebrated well, so he ordered all departments to make careful preparations. On the day of amnesty, the city of Zhunji will be decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the people will be allowed to hold various celebrations."

Chunfeng nodded fiercely: "Ninth brother also allowed me to go out of the palace, so that I can see with my own eyes how the city is celebrating my birthday. Do you remember the lantern festival? Everyone wears masks, but neither of us, so we have to Go get someone else's."

"Isn't it? You thought of all these bad ideas, but in the end it was me who did the bad things."

"The uncle whose mask was stolen by us, I still remember his expression, what is blowing his beard and staring, I'm afraid no one is more vivid than his face!"

Thinking of the scene at that time, Ah Mi also had a joy similar to the good old days when he was a teenager. The bright lights in his memory floated like bubbles in the dark hall, and Chunfeng patted his legs and laughed, which made Ah Mi unable to bear it. Laughed out loud.

But Autumn Lenggong is gloomy like a ghost.

The laughter of those girls who were as cheerful as silver bells swayed into the air, and soon turned into an echo that was no longer cheerful, but only lonely.And the two people who looked at each other and laughed, were exhausted from laughing, and their eyes were hazy with tears.

The beautiful scenery on a good day is always empty.

Who is not barefoot across the human fireworks.

"Brother Jiu said, when I leave later, someone will send you out of the palace."

Gu Chunfeng is not a person who is good at handling emotions, tears are still hanging on his face, just two sentences, full of crying.

But Ah Xie quickly wiped away her tears, calmed down and said: "Your Majesty is lenient after all. He just let me go,"

Obviously there is a second half of the sentence.But the voice stopped there.

She lowered her head, took out something from her bosom and handed it to Chunfeng:

"You recognize this sachet, right? At that time you said it smelled good, and you always asked me for it."

Chunfeng looked at it intently, nodded and said, "You never give it to me. It's something very important to you."

Auntie smiled, "My mother gave it to me." She paused, and then explained: "Birth mother. She is Shangguan's mother. When I left Cangwu, she gave me this thing. It's a thought."

Chunfeng reached out to take it, staring at the strange plant pattern on the purple sachet, startled: "It's really strange, what kind of grass is this? I didn't know it in the early years. I can’t see it. It looks like a fern, but my sister-in-law said that ferns don’t bloom.” She raised her head, “there are so many tiny flowers blooming between the leaves, do they really have this kind of grass? flowers? Doesn’t such a plant actually exist?”

Ah Ji was quite surprised, hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled and said: "When are you willing to study these things? I don't know, maybe it's just for the sake of looking good. After all, there are only grass and no flowers, so it's too plain."

"That's right." Chunfeng nodded, his eyes widened suddenly: "Give it to me?"

"Well. She's right. It's always a thought."

"But it's not your mother—"

"I don't have any thoughts anymore, so there is no need to keep it. However, it may leave you with a thought."

"You, don't plan to go back to Cangwu?"

Ah Ji looked at Qiu Guang outside the door again——

There was no light, and a large group of gray-white clouds covered the sky thickly. It is not common to see so many clouds piled up in Ji.

"I don't know. Maybe. There is always a place to stay in the huge Qingchuan."

"Then you can't, don't you go?"

Chunfeng said this sentence in such a low voice that she couldn't hear it clearly.

"What do you say?"

Auntie also answered in a low voice, but she was sure she could understand.

Gu Chunfeng was silent.

Then A Yi's voice came in from outside the hall: "Your Highness, the people from Mr. Shen Ji's side have come to urge you. I'm afraid it's time."

"Go." Auntie glanced at the sachet on the table and motioned her to put it away, "Remember, for yourself, your mother, concubine, and your younger brother, don't act willfully. Listen to your ninth brother and live this life well. "

"Ah."

Chunfeng carefully put the sachet into his arms, tears came out of his eyes again, and he refused to get up for a long time.

"Let's go."

She stopped looking at her and raised her head slightly, as if she was looking at the peeling colored paintings on the algae well on the top of the temple.

"You just left. But I just saw your appearance, and I haven't remembered it yet."

Ah Xi was taken aback, but still did not turn his face, and said in a low voice, "Just remember the look you have seen all this time. My face without a mask at this moment is a mask to this world, and it has no meaning. Just Like that little girl named Shangguan, she died when she was four years old."
