After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

No matter how heavy the fog is, the road is still there.

It's nothing more than walking slower.

When the fog finally clears, you can see further ahead.

Li Chenan was in Hua Manting's carriage. Although the morning breeze was a bit cold and he couldn't see anything outside the window, Hua Manting still opened the car curtain.

Then, mist entered the curtain and fell on his face:

"Once this person gets older, his mind is always not so clear."

"Yesterday, I had a very pleasant chat with Old Master Zhong and Old Master Wei at Qianmo Academy, so I had a few more drinks."

"It's hard to sleep at night."

"Then he got up and sat in Zuixin Pavilion, watching the stars all night, and recalling some past events."

"My memory is so bad that those long-ago events become blurred, just like this thick fog. No matter how hard I try, I can't restore those past events."

Hua Manting withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Chenan, with a smile on her face full of grooves.

"But I still remember many things in the past two years very clearly, especially the past encounters with you."

"I still remember when you and I first met... By the way, the fourth princess was beside me that day, and you wrote another poem."

"The title of the poem is "Green Xing'er, Wind and Rain Melancholy for Flowers"!"

Hua Manting stretched out a hand, knocked on the small table between them, and slowly chanted:

"The wind and rain are sad for the flowers.

After the wind and rain, the flowers should also stop.

I advise you not to be drunk in front of flowers.

This year the flowers have faded, and next year the flowers will fade and the heads will turn gray.

Take advantage of two or three Ou.

Choose the benefits of Xishan to pursue a tour.

But if you are drunk, nothing will happen.

Whether there are flowers or no flowers, the choice is spring or autumn. "

"This year's flowers have faded, and next year's flowers will fade as well. My hair... will turn gray just as the flowers bloom and fade."

"Brother, I like this song very much, even more than the song "Die Lian Hua"."

"As for the reason, it's not about sadness, but the open-mindedness shown in this poem."

"Two years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have experienced a lot... those flowers blooming and withering, those things and those people."

"Perhaps you have become more mature and stable because of this. This time we meet, I can feel you... you don't seem to be as happy as you were two years ago."

"Of course, this is the price of maturity. I understand this deeply."

"Especially when you take that step, when you actually sit in that position and have the extraordinary responsibilities that come with it."

"I think your mother told you the whole story when you were in Guiyuan..."

"On March 3rd two years ago, I went to Guangling City to be invited by your mother. Of course, at that time, you had not yet composed the song "Die Lian Hua". You... you are still an insignificant person."

"What your mother wants to do is actually something else..."

Hua Manting did not say what the other thing was.

He suddenly smiled, "Maybe this is fate."

"It happened that you composed the song "Die Lian Hua" on March 3rd. When your mother heard about it, she was extremely surprised. I was also surprised. That's why I was entrusted by your mother to contact you."

"Then, you composed the song "Green Xing'er, Wind and Rain Melancholy for Flowers", and then you drank in the Drunkard Pavilion of Qianmo Academy and recited the song "Journey into the Wine"!"

"At this point, with my eyesight, brother, I know that you are not the kind of fool that the people in Guangling City have rumored!"

"You don't know how happy your mother was when these three poems were placed in front of her."

"Fan Taohua was there at the time, but she was skeptical..."

"After all, Zhongli Mansion is here, and she knows you better than we do."

"But after Zhongli Ruoshui became interested in you, she did not object or nod."

"She said she wanted to read more." "She also said that if her poems and articles were great, she would be a literati at best, but that's not what your mother wanted..."

"Your mother changed her original mind and decided to let you embark on this path."

"Fan Taohua just summoned Zhongli Ruoshui to Kyoto. You, you also came to Kyoto and started to embark on this road."

"Of course, we originally thought that you would ascend the throne as emperor after the Kyoto Incident, but we didn't expect that you would leave for Zhongli Ruoshui..."

"This is a variable, it changes because of you!"

"But now it seems that this variable does not have much harm. At least you have completely passed Mrs. Fan's test, making her, a proud old woman, fall in love with you as her grandson-in-law, and because of this, she did not hesitate to break up with Zhongli Po!"

Hua Manting sighed leisurely and looked out the window again, her old eyes a little hazy:

"The past love story between Fan Taohua and Zhongli Po is not fake. The relationship between the two of them is even deeper than the rumors."

"She has known the details of Zhonglipo for a long time, and also knows what Zhonglipo has done and what Zhonglipo wants to do next, but she has not separated from Zhonglipo because of this."

"She knew that what Zhonglipo did was undesirable, and she had tried to persuade him sincerely, but Zhonglipo's heart was as strong as a rock... She had no choice but to run Shuzhou."

"It's not a lesson learned from the experience of getting into the Chehou Mansion, it's just that she wanted to leave a way for the descendants of the Zhongli Mansion to survive."

"She was very worried that she died unexpectedly and that Shuzhou's 50,000 soldiers and horses would fall into Zhonglipo's hands, so she carved a Peach Blossom Token with her own hands early... She handed the token to you, and It is the greatest trust in you.”

"Didn't you ask me if she is in Kyoto?"

"She's gone."

"She said she was going to kill Zhongli Po..."

Hua Manting closed her mouth, but there was a sadness between her eyebrows that was thicker than the fog.

"The meeting under the peach blossom made the most beautiful marriage in the world."

"We have lived together for decades, and the peach blossom has bloomed and withered for dozens of years... She has peerless martial arts, and the ability to take the heads of enemy generals from thousands of miles away."

"But if you say that this sword is about love... maybe it is weak."

Li Chenan listened carefully and understood many things.

He knew that his arrival might have changed the original history of this world, and he did not feel any guilt about this, but at this moment he could hear Hua Manting's concern for Fan Taohua.

Hua Manting's concerns are very reasonable.

Because it is very difficult for a woman to do such a thing as severing love with a sword.

Especially this love that has lasted for decades.

"Where might Zhongli Po have gone?"

Hua Manting withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "No one knows where the real Holy Gate is, and no one knows where the largest group of Dali remnants went after they left the Loulan Kingdom to the west thousands of years ago... Zhongli Po may know , Fan Taohua will most likely go to the deserted country today."

Li Chenan was startled and stared at Hua Manting, "Loulan Kingdom?"

"right……"

Then, Hua Manting told Li Chenan the story about Loulan Kingdom in detail.

Li Chenan was not very sad, but felt that the world was as confusing as this fog.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for her to travel far alone?"

"Yes, it is very dangerous."

The flower-filled garden stroked its long beard and sighed again:

"But that was the choice she made!"

"She wouldn't want you to send someone to protect her because that's her private matter."

"I think... that was her final explanation for the rest of her life."

"You ascend the throne as emperor, and Zhongli Ruoshui is in love with each other. She no longer has to worry about the future of Zhongli Mansion. That's why she wanted to ask Zhongli Po again."

Li Chenan looked at Hua Manting:

"what?"

"...Maybe he is asking if he still remembers the peach blossom tree and the rain." (End of Chapter)
