Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 135

Yes, that was her real intention of coming to him.

Pei Shixi sat under the tree calmly, Shi Xuanling also squatted down with her skirts on her arms, her slender eyelashes were like crow feathers, she leaned close to Pei Shixi and whispered: "Xiaomo went back to Yunzhou Island to perform the task of the Zhen Fusi, I ran into him But he disappeared later on, I don’t know if he returned to the Zhenfusi safely, he is... all right now?"

In fact, today when Pei Shixi led people to the outskirts of the city to greet him, Shi Xuanling kept poking her head, looking for the ice-blue butterfly full of expectations, but no matter how she looked left, right, horizontal or vertical, she couldn't find it. I can't see the little butterfly either.

At the beginning of the battle on Yunzhou Island, Xiaomo wanted to take her away, but she insisted on staying and fighting side by side with everyone, so Xiaomo disappeared. At first, she thought that the young man could not persuade her, so she left Yunzhou Island first. Go back to the Fusi of the town and return to his order.

But now that he was not seen beside Pei Shixi, Shi Xuanling felt a little uneasy for a moment. Could it be that Xiaomo...didn't return to Shengdu City from Yunzhou Island smoothly at that time?
She was anxious in her heart, but she still had to approach Pei Shixi with a smile on her face, and asked him about Xiao Mo's whereabouts. She naturally also concealed the part where Xiao Mo wanted to rescue her when she was performing a mission. Mo brought trouble and provoked Pei Shixi's punishment.

But how could Shi Xuanling know that in Xiaomo's lies, the only mission he went to Yunzhou Island was her, and all he did was to take her away safe and sound.

Now under the bamboo grove, Shi Xuanling anxiously asked Pei Shixi if Xiaomo was okay, but he couldn't wait for Pei Shixi's answer. Just as Shi Xuanling's heart sank little by little, Pei Shixi suddenly smiled:
"He is back."

Shi Xuanling's heart relaxed, and when she was about to breathe a long sigh of relief, Pei Shixi looked at her again, and said quietly: "I haven't come back yet."

"What, what came back and didn't come back?"

Shi Xuanling's eyes tightened, and she didn't care much, and directly grabbed Pei Shixi's sleeve with her hands.

"What do you mean? Mr. Pei, can you clarify, did Xiaomo return to Shengdu City safely?"

Pei Shixi looked at the girl who was close at hand, and then looked down at the hand she was holding on to his sleeve. For some reason, he smiled inexplicably. He raised his head, and when he was about to speak, a cold boyish voice came Suddenly there was a sound above their heads——

"Enough resting, the team is about to leave, Xuanling, let's go."

The figure that suddenly appeared was Yue Wugui, he couldn't help but pull Shi Xuanling past, as if he was afraid that if she stayed by Pei Shixi's side for a while, Pei Shixi would swallow her up.

"But, but Ah Yue, I still have something to ask..."

Shi Xuanling was concerned about Xiaomo's safety, and when she shook her head and wanted to explain to Yue Wugui, Pei Shixi brushed off her sleeves behind them and stood up leisurely.

The wind swept through the forest, and a bamboo leaf fell leisurely on Pei Shixi's shoulder. He spoke loudly, standing there like a landscape painting with brush and ink, beautiful and beautiful.

"Miss San, don't worry, the answer is in the imperial city. When you meet the old person you want to see in the future, you will naturally know what I mean."

-

Shengdu City, Tianque Tower.

Shi Xuanqin sat on the third-floor attic, stroking the qin while waiting for the return of the old man.

The censer on the table smelled the fragrance of Zen tea, which had the effect of calming the nerves, but the curling green smoke actually made Shi Xuanqin restless, and chaotic thoughts occupied her whole mind.

In her ear was the time when she was swimming when she was young, Yue Wujiu taught her severely, and said to her: "You must learn, crying is useless, I can't be by your side all the time, if you drown, at least You still have the ability to protect yourself, do you hear me?"

Suddenly the scene changed to the mountains and fields again, the ferocious black bear rushed towards her, but the young man blocked all dangers for her with one sword, and finally killed the black bear with blood on half of his body, and held her firmly in his arms In order to make a laugh, she deliberately said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let's take back the black bear's severed limbs and sell them to the owner of Tianque Tower, and ask him to cook you a delicious bear's paw, okay?"

For a while, the clouds and smoke dispersed, and the picture returned to the back door of the Shi Mansion in the hazy spring rain. She raised her chin arrogantly, and said coldly to the young man in the rain: "The person I like is Yue Shizi, not Yunzhou Island." Xiyu slave, the more blameless you are, let go, why don't you want to wake up?"

It was as if a bronze mirror had been ruthlessly smashed to the ground. Under the countless shattered lenses, blood finally dripped onto a piece of letter paper, staining the line of flying and firm handwriting red: "My wife, Xuanling, is like a jewel like a treasure." , in this life, in this life, there will be no burden."

With a clank, the strings broke.

Shi Xuanqin was panting with cold sweat, pressed her chest, unwilling to recall any more, but at this moment a slight tingling sensation came from her fingertips, and she lowered her head, only to realize that her fingers had been cut by the strings.

She subconsciously took a breath, quickly took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and wrapped it around her injured finger. The blood seeped through the handkerchief, and it just happened to stain a piece of delicate embroidery thread on the handkerchief——

What is embroidered with the fine silk is nothing but an extremely elegant guqin, and there is also a bright moon embroidered on the horizon, the moon reflects on the body of the qin, and the strings of the qin echo, forever and ever, they will never leave.

That month, it was Yue.

That piano is naturally self-evident.

She embroidered this handkerchief by herself. To be precise, there are four pieces in total. Each piece is embroidered with patterns of the moon and Guqin, but the surrounding scenery is different, which symbolizes spring, autumn, winter, summer, and the four seasons. , the moon and the guqin stay together and never separate.

At that time, when she finished her embroidery, she showed it to Yue Wujiu, and the young man praised her for her skillful hand and thoughtfulness, but after she divorced the Yue family, she burned all the handkerchiefs, leaving only one of Chunri's——

No, to be precise, half a block.

At that time, a gust of night wind happened to blow from outside the window, and the brazier was extinguished, leaving the half of the handkerchief remaining. She originally wanted to light the brazier again to completely burn the remaining half of the handkerchief, but for some reason, That night, by accident, she looked at the bright moon on the handkerchief, but hesitated for a while, and finally kept the half of the handkerchief, stuffed it with the old clothes and piled it in the attic.

This time Heng'er brought the box from the attic, and when she was choosing clothes, she also saw this half of the handkerchief, as if God was pitying her, and left her this half of hope, She hurriedly washed the handkerchief and took it with her. The old man was wearing old clothes and was nostalgic for old things. When Ah Yue saw her like this, wouldn't his heart be touched?

Now the blood-stained handkerchief seemed to add a sad beauty to this old thing, and it could better express her affection for him.

She was forced by her family to divorce him, and the old things with him were also destroyed by her parents. She finally snatched the half handkerchief from the brazier, and locked herself in the room after he left. , seeing things and thinking about people day and night, haggard, and even vomiting blood several times.

This blood-stained handkerchief is the best proof that she misses him deeply, but I don't know the words, Ah Yue...do you believe it or not?

Shi Xuanqin was sitting in the private room on the third floor of Tianque Building, her mind was in a state of confusion for a while, she was staring at the pattern of moon and qin on the handkerchief, when she was lost in thought, Heng'er, who was guarding the corridor, suddenly turned her head and looked at her with a face full of surprise. Called out:
"It's coming, it's coming, miss, look quickly, Shizi's team has entered the city!"

Shi Xuanqin's eyes lit up, she clenched the blood-stained handkerchief tightly, and ran out without even thinking about it, and stood at the position with the best view she had chosen in advance.

The wait was over, she had finally waited, her Ah Yue had returned, the person she had been thinking about day and night, the most dazzling young man in the imperial city, had finally returned!
With a heart beating wildly in his chest, Inspector Shi Xuanqin stretched his neck and tried his best to look towards the city gate through the dark crowd.

Sure enough, several teams entered Shengdu City amidst the cheers of the common people, and many fresh and colorful flower branches were thrown onto the carriage. This was an old custom in Dongmu to welcome the heroes who came back from the battlefield.

In the midst of joy and excitement, Shi Xuanqin's eyes could only see the familiar young man sitting on the tall horse, and her eye sockets became moist in an instant, but when the steed gradually approached, her heart was full of excitement. Suddenly, he clenched his palms in disbelief, and the long nails almost sank into the flesh.

"No, why, why..."

Not only her A Yue came back, but also the person she least wanted to see, that bastard "sister" she didn't want to admit at all, Shi Xuanling.

She and Yue Wujiu rode the same steed, and were tightly held in the arms of the young man. The two walked through the long street together in a beautiful manner, and were cheered by the people. Yue Wujiu even took the A bouquet of flower branches thrown in mid-air, bowed his head and handed it to the girl in his arms, smiling at her extremely tenderly.

The warm sun shone on them, outlining a layer of gold for them, and the breeze lifted their sleeves. They were so close and inseparable, and the strands of long hair seemed to be entangled together. There were only the two of them left, and no one could separate them.

The high-spirited young man, the unparalleled beauty of the young girl, the touching affection flowing between them, anyone who sees them will have to praise sincerely, what a well-matched young couple this is.

Behind them, there was a purple-clothed boy riding a horse alone. He lightly twirled a folding fan in his hand. His unrestrained and coquettish posture also attracted many girls in the city to whisper, but no one saw the loneliness in his eyes. Others were looking at him, but he only looked at the pair of figures riding the same horse in front of him. Although there was a smile on his lips, there was a bit of undetectable sadness.

Shengdu City hadn't been this lively for a long time. The people were cheering and jumping. There was only one figure standing on the Tianque Tower, with wide-eyed eyes, looking at the "young couple" that people praised.

She was short of breath, her face was as white as paper, and she felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to have coagulated, and endless grievances and unwillingness flooded her heart——

Why, why is it Shi Xuanling?Why can she possess her A Yue, and smile like a spring flower in his arms, obviously she knows nothing, did nothing, just took A Yue's glory in vain, and returned to Shengdu City, has been cheered and supported by the people, enjoying the glory brought to her by Ayue!

All of this is just because she took the title of "female family member" and became A Yue's nominal "wife", but this position, originally, should belong to her!
"Miss, look quickly, the son is coming on horseback, and the third lady, the third lady is also back..."

Heng'er's words sounded in her ears, Shi Xuanqin bit her lip, and suddenly looked at the half veil embroidered with the moon and Guqin in her hand. Without the slightest hesitation, he let go of his hand, and threw the half of the handkerchief towards the young man on the horse.

The handkerchief floated into the wind, even God wanted to help her, the timing was just right, this extraordinary half handkerchief, carrying her infatuation, happened to be picked up by the person she was thinking of.

"A Yue!"

Her heart was beating wildly, and finally, the young man sitting on the horse raised his head and saw her standing on the third floor of Tianque Tower from a distance.

"A Yue, it's me, it's me..."

Shi Xuanqin was extremely excited, calling out in her heart, passing through the vast crowd, the look he gave her almost made her unable to restrain herself and cry out.

This is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, separated by white clouds and gray dogs, this one glance that appeared in her dream.

He finally saw her, endless grievances flooded into her heart in an instant, her ideal person finally came back, how much she wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry heartily, telling him how much she missed him, Telling that her family is forcing her to associate with Prince An, all the bitterness and hardships she is in...

"A Yue..."

Shi Xuanqin stood on the Tianque Tower, her eyes dimmed with tears, while Yue Wugui who was riding on the horse below frowned, Shi Xuanling in his arms also raised her head, and said in surprise:

"Second Sister, it's Second Sister, why is she here..."

"It's a matter of guessing. I chose such a position, of course I'm waiting to meet her sweetheart!" Zhong Lisheng laughed from behind. He rode forward and saw the moon and guqin patterns on the half-quick handkerchief. Hearing the "Second Sister" called out by Shi Xuanling, my heart suddenly became clear.

Naturally, he had heard about Yue Wujiu's divorced marriage, and he knew clearly that the "female family member" who was going to be exiled to Yunzhou Island with Yue Wujiu was not Shi Xuanling, she was just exiled on behalf of his sister. , I became a "taken advantage" of a substitute marriage.

That's why when he went to Lanxin Small Courtyard, he deliberately ridiculed Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling as "fake couples". If they didn't worship or get married, maybe they really slept together?

Seeing that today's Que is downstairs, Yue Wugui is holding the half handkerchief that fell from the sky, his face is extremely ugly, Zhong Lisheng couldn't help being happy, with a flick of his purple clothes, he clenched the handle of the fan in his hand, pointing at Yue Wugui, quite gloatingly :

"Hey, Lao Yue, your love debt has come to you, tsk tsk, this beautiful woman is throwing a champagne, leaning on the railing and watching with tears in her eyes, you are really blessed!"
