Chapter 208: It’s hard to forget each other in this world, but it’s easy to let go of the glitz.

The emperor was naturally worried, but not as worried as he expected.

It seems that there is no big thing in the world that he can't stop thinking about. He doesn't feel the pain, he has gained wealth easily, and he has been enjoying the success for so long. He feels less and less that there is anything to worry about.

Even the Lu Linshan case back then may have been too fussy when I think about it now.

The garden is filled with sunshine and the flowers are fragrant in all directions. It is a wonderful scene that never ceases to flourish.

I think back to those days when under the apricot tree, the water was singing softly and the wind was blowing.
Sighing back to the forest and passing around the pavilion, the fragrance of the medicine is still heavy.

"What's wrong with me?" the emperor asked himself.

There was beauty under this tree, the wind was filled with water, and the sound was like the moonlight.

Under the apricot tree, the branches swayed and fell like shadows.

He seemed to still remember it, but not completely forget it.

Although, he has stopped mentioning it.

The corners of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, with a faint and silent smile, as if he was laughing at himself: How to bring it up?Those people around him are no longer there. Who will remember the past with him?
Is it a dream before the autumn rain?
The emperor shook his head, he couldn't remember.

I can't remember that face as clear as the wind, under the willow branches and flowers, the smiling water and the warm branches.

A gust of summer breeze blew through her clothes, making Lingling wet with sweat and couldn't help but shiver.

It seemed that the flowers and plants in the garden were disturbed. Suddenly, an old friend came under the shadow of the willow branches.

The figure and face were as if they were reborn, and the white crane clouds flew by. The emperor rubbed his eyes, wanting to see more clearly.

But the old friend is thousands of feet away, and there is no time to return.

When I came back to my senses, most of the sweat on my body was dry.Only a cool summer breeze is left.

How can this happen?

It was clear that the neon clothes were swaying slightly, the embroidered ribbons were fluttering, and the long skirts were not stained with dust. They disappeared no matter how hard they said they were gone.

I tried hard to search for it, hoping to catch a glimpse of it in the shadows, but I found that what I saw before was just a surge of memories, which made me miss people when I saw things.

No matter how hard I try, I can't remember that person's face.

Like the past seasons, it was covered with autumn frost and eastern fog.But in summer, it forgets to melt, and is forever sealed in confusion and smoke-like dreams.

Will human memory be wrapped up in something ruthless?He could never find his original appearance again, wouldn't he want to leave even a trace of a gap to the past in his dream of sleeping alone?

He may want a little more, and he may get a little more.

But what he paid was too little after all. Compared with everything he had, what he paid was too stingy.

The emperor smiled.Laughing at myself, I can't remember the past, and I can still think of what happened before.

Maybe it's because of last night's dream, maybe it's because of those troubles in the morning.

In addition to sighing that time is fleeting and the years are fleeting, what else can there be?

While he was thinking about it, a man in white came up and bowed.Qian Ran said: "Your Majesty, long time no see."

A humble attitude and a gentle voice.The emperor turned around and said, "I was walking, and somehow I ended up here. Is everything okay, sir?"

"Everything is fine. Of course everything is fine."

The man in white walked around the emperor, moved the peonies from several basins to the stone fence, and placed new jasmine in front of the camellia.

"On a spring day, the grass is fragrant and the trees are pleasant, which can lead to peace and welcome new ideas; on a summer day, the wind is gentle and gurgling, and the fragrance is like a lotus room; in autumn, the water and steps are level, and the fragrance is flowing, and poetry is inspired; in winter, you enjoy the snow and cook tea, and the stars follow their paths. "

The emperor came leisurely, picked off a scorched yellow petal, and gently twirled it between his fingers.

"I didn't expect that Lu Linshan would be the same as before. Over the years, Mr.'s face can't see that time has passed by in a hurry. Time is like water."

"Your Majesty, nothing has changed, but you speak and walk more calmly than before."

The emperor sighed softly, "It's not even about being calm. Walking in his own palace is naturally calm. If the emperor can't be calm in his own palace, I'm afraid there will be no place in the world where people can be calm. Speaking of which, , No matter what, I cannot allow myself to become such an emperor."

The man in white nodded and arranged a few more peonies. The peonies had bloomed and withered. There were many weeds growing around the flower pots, forming a small forest of its own. It was hard to remember what kind of flowers had bloomed here before.

What was the scene like here in the past?

A starlight flashed in the corner of the man in white's eyes, and his hands gradually stopped. After taking care of the flower pots, it seemed that there was nothing else in the world waiting for him to do.

He only heard the emperor saying quietly behind him: "To be honest, Sir, Calm may just not feel anything. It seems that over the years, this mind has become more and more dull, always covered with a layer of gray and a layer of fog. Ministers like to argue. What is right and what is wrong must always be argued in the court. Sometimes someone is right. Sometimes, what is right and wrong is just a matter of arguing with red faces and showing it to the people on the throne. But I don’t think so. It seems. There is no big thing in this world, it’s really like nothing big.”

"That's because Your Majesty's cultivation is superior to others." The man in white said.

"Sir, you are joking. I understand how it can be okay. There is no real peace in the world, it is just a temporary peace in the world. Maybe one day a sudden change occurs in Kyushu, and the world will never be at peace." The emperor handed over the petals. into the hands of men.

It's hard to forget each other in the world, but it's easy to let go of the glitz.

The man in white took the petals, took a bamboo basket, and gently put it in it.

"Your Majesty came to Lulinshan today, but what's on your mind? Although I can't do anything to help Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants to find someone to chat with, I don't have anything to do. Why don't you make tea again? I don't know His Majesty's wishes. how?"

The emperor did not refuse, moved a few steps towards the stone table, and said slowly: "It's not a matter of concern, there are indeed a lot of things happening in various places, the ministers of the court and the central government didn't have any ideas for a while, it seems that everyone is right. My personal worries are all reasonable, as the emperor, I seem to be far less thoughtful than they are."

The man in white chuckled, "That's natural. Ministers receive salaries from the imperial court and should help the emperor solve problems. What's more, they are all scholars. They use their own knowledge to seek the well-being of the people. This is also the unswerving belief of these people when they are officials in the court. They Noisy and insistent on right and wrong, it is also for the sake of the emperor's empire, isn't it?"

"My kingdom." The emperor repeated meaningfully while shaking his head with a smile.

"Let's talk about something else. The scenery of Lulin Mountain is beautiful, don't let it down.

So many years.Unexpectedly, I ended up here today just walking. "

"Really? If you think about it carefully, you must be quite old." The man in white also slowly came to the stone table. There was clear water on the table, and the boiling tea had just been turned off. He reached out and took some black tea. The dried branches lit the fire again.

"Don't bother. It's hot in summer, so there's no need to make tea."

The emperor said.

"That's fine. The tea has been brewed just now and has a fragrant aroma. Let it sit for a while and then drink it after it cools down. It will also cool you down and relieve the heat."
