Who says maids don't fall for the city

chapter 13
Before I could catch my breath, Mrs. Mo rushed up and stuffed my original clothes into my arms, urging me to change them quickly.

After changing clothes and coming out, I heard a dancer ask, "Where is Miss Wuyi?"

Everyone else didn't know, I thought about it, and followed the way I left the stage to find it, but I saw Wu Yi standing on the side, leaning on the pillar, with obsessive eyes.She was so dazed that I didn't even notice when I walked up to her.

Following her line of sight, a screen was placed on the stage at some point, with alien ink paintings on it, the landscape is faint and the artistic conception is profound.There is a piano table behind the screen, and incense is burned on it. The fragrance is quiet and elegant, and it smells very pleasant.

Sitting behind the piano is a man in white, with his hands on the strings.He paused slightly, and gently plucked the strings with both hands.One by one, music sounds flowed out from his fingertips, with slight sadness and joy, the two seem to be contradictory, but they are so real.Listen to the ear, flow into the heart.

It's like biting a plum, sour and bitter in the mouth, but sweet.It's addictive.

The sound of the piano seemed to be singing the bright moon in the sky for a moment, hazy and beautiful.At the next moment, it seemed to be playing the plum blossoms falling all over the ground, desolate and melancholy.

I have never heard such a piece, it seems to speak of something, something I have had.It's so familiar, but I can't remember it.

The man's white and slender hands looked very familiar.The dance clothes seemed to melt into the sound of the piano, tears welled up in her eyes, but there was a clear smile on the corner of her mouth.

At the end of the song, the audience was silent.Thinking about it, this kind of music that only exists in the sky will make people addicted.

Cheng Yue stood up suddenly and looked at the stage quietly.Everyone was startled by her and turned to look at her.The worry in Cheng Feng's eyes was obvious.

Only the man behind the screen remained calm.

After a while, Cheng Yue just hooked the corners of his lips, said something before throwing down his wine glass and turning away.While walking, his footsteps were a bit vain, Cheng Feng glanced at the stage, and followed closely.

There was a sigh of relief in the audience.

The man playing the piano stood up, flicked the ashes that might not exist on his body, and turned around.

A pair of crystal-clear purple eyes came into his eyes.

His eyes are so clean, but his body seems to be covered with a layer of sad moonlight, which makes people feel distressed.

He obviously saw me, gave me a barely noticeable nod, and walked right past me.It's just that when I passed by him, I clearly felt that Wu Yi's body was slightly stiff.

After the man walked away, Wu Yi turned around, saw me, called out "Yeah", then smiled apologetically, "Why are you here?"

I suppressed the question, "They are all looking for you, but you came here to be in a daze." Seeing her a little embarrassed, I immediately took her hand, "Hurry up, or everyone will think you have been abducted. "Wu Yi went down the trend and followed me.

When we returned to Xiaoyuan, it was already late and it was pitch black, only two lanterns hung on the left and right of the gate of the garden.From a distance, I saw Qiuyue returning to the house with an angry face, and Fugui stood in the middle of the yard with a bewildered expression.

I walked up to him, "what's wrong?"

He turned to look at me, his eyes blank. "I don't know either. I just praised you for dancing well, and she changed her face."

I froze, almost unable to hold back my laughter.After a while, pat him on the shoulder. "Maybe she's hungry, so she's a little irritable. If you make some snacks for her tomorrow morning, she will lose her temper."

He seemed to think that what I said made sense, so he left after thanking me.

I went back to the room by the moonlight, and because I was so tired, I took off my shoes and lay on the bed with my clothes on, leaning to the right and closing my eyes.It didn't take long to get confused.

When the door panel squeaked, I immediately woke up.He opened his eyes wide and looked around, only to see a tall figure standing outside the door.

He also seemed to be frightened by my presence, and after a long while, he asked suspiciously, "Ji Qing'er?"

I hurriedly jumped off the bed, not even daring to put on my shoes, and grabbed the pillow.Staring at him vigilantly: "What do you want to do?!"

He was stunned, and slowly his face began to change, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes. "You said, what can I do to you?!" Every word, as if wishing to swallow me whole.

I smiled awkwardly, but still hugged the pillow in my arms.

Cheng Feng confronted me, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally surrendered.He sighed, walked in and sat at the table with a tired look on his face.

He lifted the teapot and seemed to notice something strange, lifted the lid and looked in, then turned his head and stared at me.

I stare back at him.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally gave up.He went out with the pot by himself, and after a while, he came back with the pot and poured tea by himself.

Seeing that he had no other intentions, I slowly threw the pillow back on the bed.Cautiously moved to the table, while blowing on the torch and lighting the candles, paying attention to his reaction.

I suddenly felt thirsty, so I sat down in slow motion to see if he had no objection, then quickly brought the teapot over while he was not paying attention, and poured myself a cup of tea.

Cheng Feng's face began to stiffen, and gradually tended to twitch.

After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly stood up and walked to the bed, knelt down and reached out to touch the bottom of the bed, and then brought out a jar of wine.The wine jar was covered with ashes, he blew on it, and the dust flew all over the sky.

Fortunately, I was a little far away, and the ashes did not fall on me.

Cheng Feng coughed a few times, then turned to face me, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, the wine is still there, I didn't drink enough just now, are you interested in joining us?"

I have always felt that this person has no advantages, but it is just a big one.Although sometimes quite petty, but not too serious.Otherwise, my bad karma would not allow me to stand here properly.

But I was too tired, so I shook my head and retreated behind the screen. "No! I'm going to sleep, drink it yourself."

He scolded "I don't know the goods", and walked out with the wine by himself.After a while, there was a sound of tiles on the roof, as if he had climbed up.

I lay back on the bed again, tossed and turned with my eyes closed and couldn’t fall asleep. For some reason, Cheng Yue’s expression after listening to the piano music kept appearing in my mind. It was a kind of melancholy, like the emptiness left after a carnival, which can penetrate directly At the bottom of my heart, I only felt a dull pain in my chest.

He got out of bed, walked outside, and looked up at the roof.Cheng Feng sat alone, taking a big sip from the wine jug from time to time, because of his rude actions, the collar of his collar was wet with wine.Looking around, there was a ladder not far away, so he quickly trotted to move this thing over, and climbed up carefully.Squatting halfway, slowly move to Cheng Feng's right hand and sit down.The moon is behind us, casting our shadows long.

"Aren't you coming?" He said in a muffled voice.

I smiled "hehe", "I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it, so I come up to accompany you."

He sneered and handed the wine to me.

After thinking about it, I still took it and took a sip. My throat suddenly became hot, and I still coughed uncontrollably.

Cheng Feng laughed again, but I decided not to care.Return the wine to him.

"Do you hate me?" he asked suddenly.

"Ah?" I didn't react for a while, and looked at him blankly with my head sideways.

Cheng Feng didn't look at me, but looked down at our long shadow. "You were snatched by me on the way to get married, no matter which girl she is, she will hate me to death."

His expression was very serious, like a child's guilty face after making a mistake.I looked away, "I don't hate you."

He raised his eyes slightly, tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "Why?"

"There is no reason," I sighed. "The moon rises and sets, and the flowers bloom and fade. These are all things that have been arranged by God. Who can tell the reason?"

"This is fate, I believe in fate." I swear I have never said something so seriously, every word comes from my heart.But his expression looked like he had seen a ghost.

After a while, he smiled lightly.The smile is like the spring breeze, warm and bright, and the eyes are shining like stars in the sky.

"Actually, I shouldn't have asked you. After all, you are just a little maid. I am the third prince of Daye, and there is no need to explain anything to you." He was sincere on his face, but the words in his mouth made people want to go crazy.

I gritted my teeth, "That's really troublesome old man!"

He looked down at the shadow again, "I'm just expressing my feelings. Do you know what my eldest sister said today?"

I immediately put aside my anger and asked curiously, "What did you say?"

"Although Daye asks women to be loyal, it's only for folk women. Princesses of the royal family never need to abide by those things. My third aunt married three times, and my fourth cousin married twice. The daughters of the royal family have always had someone Begging to marry." His tone was light, sounding very calm, but he didn't answer my words.

"After the brother-in-law left, the mother concubine also persuaded the eldest sister, saying that it would be better for her to find someone with a similar status to marry than to be a widow and be deserted." Cheng Feng looked up at the night, "But the eldest sister didn't say a word. , as long as you hear the concubine mother mentioning this matter, get up and leave immediately."

I was engrossed in listening to it, but I didn't expect that woman in red, as gorgeous as a raging fire, to be so infatuated.

"At first, the mother and concubine thought that she had only been married for five years, and she liked it no matter how much she liked. So she changed the way to let the eldest sister meet various young talents. There was even a time when Wang Ouyanglin, who had a different surname, came. He is a well-known talent, with great literary talent and outstanding martial arts. He had a great conversation with the eldest sister, and the mother and concubine were very happy. But that night, the eldest sister was drunk and cried tears all over her face. But she just tugged at Ouyang Lin's sleeve and called 'Tianya' over and over again."

Speaking of this, he smiled wryly, "Tianya is the name of my brother-in-law. It was originally my sister who said that what she wanted most was to wander around the world. So my brother-in-law changed the word to Tianya, saying that my sister will always be in Tianya. Although it is impolite , but since then, the mother and concubine have never mentioned the matter of remarriage, and I will always remember the heartbroken expression on my sister's crying that night."

"I thought that after so many years, my sister would have almost forgotten it. She holds this banquet every year, but she has never lost her composure. I didn't expect that Ling Wu's song today made me realize that my sister has never forgotten."

"How do you know?" I couldn't help interjecting.

Cheng Feng glanced sideways at me, and took a sip of wine, "After she stood up today, she said a word, and then went to the Buddhist hall where the portrait of her brother-in-law is enshrined. No matter how much I shouted, she refused to come out."

"What did the eldest princess say?" I tugged at his sleeve and shook it slightly, looking forward to it.

"She said," he said in a low tone, rather lonely, "It's no use going straight to lovesickness."

Then he looked at me very confused, "Tell me, since my sister knows that lovesickness is futile and useless, why does she still keep it in her heart and refuse to forget?"

His face was full of confusion, as if he had lost his way in the desert, looking around, he couldn't tell where he came from.

I thought about it carefully, then looked back at him seriously. "Don't you know what the next sentence of this sentence is?"

He shook his head, and then said with some embarrassment: "I don't like reading poetry."

I looked at him and said very seriously: "It's useless to be straight and lovesick, but it's okay to be melancholy and insane.

He continued to look at me puzzled.

"These two sentences mean that even though you know lovesickness is useless, you are still willing to spend your whole life mourning for this relationship." I paused, and continued: "The most difficult thing to forget in this world is the person who is no longer there."

He seemed to be even more confused, "People are gone, how can you still remember after a long time?"

Put your hands around your knees, put your head between your knees, and look straight ahead.

"If a person is alive, he will do many pleasing things. If there are many happy things, he will be moved and remembered in his heart. But it is inevitable that there will also be sad things. As time goes by, it is hard to escape mutual resentment. It's annoying. But if a person dies, all he has left is his memory. No matter how many annoying things he has done, he will automatically forget them. All he has in his heart is his kindness. If a person treats you well all his life, Will you still forget him?"

After a long time, he nodded, "What you said seems to make sense." Then he handed the wine to me, "Then I'll treat you to a drink as a thank you."

I happily took it and took a sip.Smack your lips and make a look of endless aftertaste.

He seemed to think it was very funny, but he didn't talk about me.It's just that there is still some loneliness in the look.

"By the way, how did you know Shuangshuang?" Thinking about it for a while, she was quite curious, so she couldn't help asking him.

He thought for a while and said, "It was once when I went to a brothel for a drink and encountered someone belittled her. I couldn't see it for a while, so I helped her out."

Oh, it turned out to be the hero who saved the beauty, but it's no wonder that Shuangshuang fell in love with him.The third prince of Daye, with noble status and extraordinary appearance, is the woman's favorite choice.

He looked at me strangely, "Why are you staring at me?"

I said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, just thinking about it, we have known each other for a long time, but it seems that we have never looked at you carefully."

"The first Qixi Festival was originally at night, so naturally I couldn't see clearly. Every time we met later, you wanted to hide from me like the plague. How could you see carefully." He said disdainfully.

I couldn't drink alcohol in the first place, but after just a few sips, I'm a little tipsy.My mind was a little fuzzy, so I wanted to go back to sleep.But before I could stand up, Cheng Feng suddenly threw the wine jar out, and there was the faint sound of porcelain breaking.He stood up staggeringly, facing me, and said: "The concubine mother only has one son, the eldest sister has only one brother, and I am the youngest among the three princes, so I have always been favored. Whatever you want, do whatever you want."

I couldn't help rolling my eyes, of course I know that he can do whatever he wants, otherwise I wouldn't have ruined my marriage just because of one missed appointment.

He smiled slightly, and there was light in his eyes, as cute as a firefly.

"Then I'm going to jump from here now." He said and pointed behind him.

I stood up and patted the dust on my buttocks, not taking what he said to heart at all. "If you want to jump, just jump. It's best to die if you fall." Although it's only one floor, the houses in the princess' mansion are very tall. If you jump from such a height, you'll at least be half-damaged.

Strangely, he didn't reply, but smiled mysteriously, and suddenly closed his eyes and fell backwards.

I was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to pull him, but he suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed my hand. With all his strength, my whole body was immediately taken down by him.

The wind came head-on, and my already confused mind immediately fainted when I was frightened.I only remember the shallow laughter in my ear and the warmth from the side of my face.

When I woke up the next day, the sun had moved to the center, and I ate the breakfast that Chunhua had left for me, and then I started cleaning for the day.Fugui really listened to me, and brought food to coax Qiuyue early in the morning, and now the relationship between the two has eased.

Cheng Yue still didn't come out of the Buddhist hall, didn't get a drop of water in, and was so anxious that the nanny who had taken care of her since childhood went around, but there was nothing she could do.Chengfeng has reached the age of weak crown, so he must return to the palace to go to court.And it's not easy for the Holy Majesty or Concubine Li to know about this matter, so the Princess Mansion can only close the door and solve it by itself.

I felt pity for her infatuation in my heart, so after finishing my own affairs, I turned around and went to the Buddhist hall.Outside the Buddhist hall, there were only the wet nurse and the princess's personal servants, who kept talking to the room, but there was no response.

This kind of pain related to memories can only be digested by oneself, and others can't help much.But it's not an option for Cheng Yue to continue like this, she will not be able to bear it sooner or later.

But what use can I be, a little maid, who is soft-spoken?
The more I thought about it, the more blocked I was, I pulled a leaf and put it in my mouth to nibble, and walked up and down the path.I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration, and I had an idea.Since it was Ling Wu's piano sound that aroused Cheng Yue's lovesickness yesterday, it seems that Ling Wu can only find Ling Wu to solve it.

It was dusk, and the sunset glow was like fire, gorgeous and extraordinary, but there was some haze in it.The sky was clearly clean, but it looked like it was foggy.Because Cheng Feng was worried about Cheng Yue, he came to the Princess Mansion after he came down to court.I found him and told him my thoughts.After hearing this, he was silent for a while, nodded, and ordered his personal servant to invite Ling Wu.But not long after, the servant came to report, saying that Ling Wu refused to come.

Ling Wu is the number one luthier in the world, naturally he has a high spirit, and he has always been unwilling to show off his skills in front of others easily.He was willing to come down to perform yesterday, which is considered an exception.

But how could Yi Chengfeng control his temper so much, he lost his temper as soon as he heard it, and wished to cut Ling Wu into pieces.Although I was persuaded by my good words in the end, I was still aggrieved.

He shook off my hand, "Then what do you say?!"

I thought for a while, took a pen and paper and wrote down a sentence, "I pity my concubine and I have no complaints in this life."In the end, I signed the words "Nine Heavens Profound Girl" and handed it over to Ling Wu, hoping that he would take pity on Cheng Yue's lovesickness.

I also have what I played in Ling Wu's piece last night.That kind of sweet and sour intertwined, painful and joyful emotions will eventually be beyond redemption, and it is still sweet.

May I be like a star, like a moon, night and night.

The clear but subtle lovesickness touched Cheng Yue's inner thoughts, that's why she went to Sima Xi's portrait to remember herself.That's why she escaped from reality and didn't dare to think about the world without her lover.

After a long time, Ling Wu followed behind the servant.

He was still dressed in white, his black hair was tied loosely on the back of his head, and the remaining strands hung down on his shoulders, his purple eyes shone slightly, and his expression was indifferent.

He clearly has the aura of exiled immortals all over his body, walking among the world of mortals, but he is not a dusty one.It can even be said that he is the cleanest person I have ever seen in my life.His cleanliness is not as scheming as Yang Ziyu's, but a kind of immortal air, indifferent and elegant.It seems to be out of the world.

I saw Chengfeng's expression was unkind, and I knew he was still angry about what happened just now.So he walked up to Ling Wu quickly, and said with a smile, "Master Ling Wu, it's really hard work for you."

He raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I came because you wanted to see me." His expression was sincere and sincere.

"Ah", my expression was slightly stiff, and after a while, I smiled awkwardly: "You really know how to joke." Before he could respond, he quickly pointed to the Buddhist hall and said, "I just ask you to help the princess. She hasn't eaten for a day and a night, if this continues, I'm afraid..."

He raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does it have to do with me?"

I hurriedly turned my head to look at Cheng Feng, sure enough, bloodshot eyes began to appear in his eyes, obviously he was on the verge of getting angry.

"Princess, just come out. You don't care about others, but the nurse is already old, how can she stand up to you! Besides, if the son-in-law is alive, he will not be willing to bear you like this..." The nurse's cry came .
