My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 29

Liu Ling said that she and Xu Shijin were good friends, but it was really hard for ordinary people to tell.Although Xu Shijin often went in and out of Yejing circles, and although Shen Yan knew Xu Shijin very well, Shen Yan didn't know that Xu Shijin would have a good relationship with Liu Ling.

Looking at it now, the friendship between Liu Ling and Xu Shijin is actually weird.With so many people, Xu Shijin saw Liu Ling at a glance, and greeted Liu Ling with a smile; mentioning Lu Mingshan inexplicably, although it would slap the Lu family in the face, but in a way, it also made Liu Ling's scars public.She didn't seem to have considered Liu Ling's feelings at all.

And judging from the emotion in Liu Ling's eyes, it was indeed Xu Shijin who wrote a letter to challenge Lu Mingshan's infidelity a year ago.

Such friendship...

"Miss Xu, you seem to have mentioned the Lu family just now?" When Shen Yan was fascinated, the Lu family couldn't sit still and walked towards Liu Ling and Xu Shijin.

Xu Shijin turned around, seemingly surprised, with condemnation in his eyes, "It's the son of the Lu family. I'm whispering to Ah Ling, how can you eavesdrop?"

"..." Everyone was silent for a while, and then there was an uproar.

Whisper? !

With such a loud voice and such unscrupulous speech content, if it can be called a whisper, there is no such thing as a "whisper" in the world!

Another cold female voice sounded beside Xu Shijin, "That's your whisper, which disturbed others."

Xu Shijin reacted quickly, and immediately expressed apology, saying sorry repeatedly.She seemed to sincerely apologize for her inappropriate words just now. There were many guests coming and going, and the faces of the people from the Lu family were ashen. They couldn't bear to argue with Xu Shijin, so they had to go to the back hall to meet Old General Lu with a dark face.Several people couldn't help but think in their hearts - it really is the Lu family!Style is as geeky as ever!

The resemblance of old friends in the past, the meaning that Xu Shijin hadn't seen him for many years made Xu Shijin leave the other guests behind, and led Liu Ling to meet her great-grandfather alone, and then went to the back garden to sit for a while.

A pair of friends who were close in the past, left the crowd, and their relationship suddenly dropped to freezing point.On the winding water corridor in the backyard, Liu Ling leaned on the railing to enjoy the scenery in the water, with a peaceful and comfortable expression.Xu Shijin looked a little bored, supported his chin and said slowly, "Lu Mingshan betrayed you, it seems that you are almost on the mend. From my guess, what you pay back to Lu Mingshan is to betray him as well."

"Isn't that why you wrote to me? Was it a pleasure to watch the play?" Liu Ling carried her on her back.

There was a laugh behind him, "It's quite pleasant. I never wait to see Lu Mingshan... Well, I don't really like to see people who treat you well. I like to see you in bad luck, you know."

Liu Ling finally looked back at her, her eyes bent, "Actually, I do the same, I like to see you uncomfortable. My closest friend, you seem to have not married yet?"

Xu Shijin's leisurely expression froze slightly, and he was no longer as relaxed as before.She listened to Liu Ling's astonishment, which seemed to be true and false, "You begged me to help you enter the palace six years ago, you will not forget, right? Or have you changed your mind? Miss Xu, we don't have a long relationship."

"...Let's talk about whether Mr. Lu will come, after all, it is imminent. If you don't want him to appear to disturb you, you still need my help." Xu Shijin threatened word by word.

Liu Ling smiled, "Oh, I don't care about that. I want to talk more about your relationship issues. I haven't seen you for many years. I have never asked about you. As a good friend, I am really incompetent. I don't know if the Xu family knows about you. about it? Between that person and you..."

"... Liu Ling! You are as disgusting as ever!" Xu Shijin said coldly.

"You too." Liu Ling replied.

The two immediately turned their backs, and neither wanted to talk to the other.

Liu Ling was very upset.

Sure enough, the closer she was to Yejing, the more those things haunted her.

Looking at the shadow of the girl next to her on the water from the corner of her eye, Liu Ling looked in a daze, thinking of many old things from the past.

Xu Shijin is her best friend.

But this friend, not only was not voluntary, but even accompanied by her painful experience.When she saw Xu Shijin, she would think of those things and feel depressed instantly.Therefore, she actually didn't like meeting Xu Shijin very much.

As for Xu Shijin, he thought it was the same.

When she was five years old, everyone said that her mother was killed by her, and her father threatened to kill her.She was almost driven to collapse by her father and the rumors of the world, and when her grandfather picked her up for Yejing, she was already in a trance.Grandfather felt sorry for her, so he wanted to find some companions for her and relieve her.

Xu Shijin's situation is very similar to hers.It was also the death of her mother and the chaos in the Xu family that drove her crazy.

In this way, two little girls in similar situations met, licked each other's wounds, and gave birth to each other.

For a while, it was true.Liu Ling's ability to get out of that time quickly was inseparable from Xu Shijin's company.But after returning to normal, she and Xu Shijin didn't like each other.

Liu Ling and Xu Shijin are the same people, they can often see their own shadows in each other.And loving oneself is precisely the feeling that these two people have never had.The same personality makes them go to two extremes.One lives in his own world all year round and does not welcome anyone in; the other likes to play with people's hearts, and likes to play with people in his hands.Liu Ling doesn't welcome Xu Shijin into her world, and Xu Shijin doesn't mind plotting against Liu Ling all the time.

Such two people, as friends, meant two adults.

"Xiao Jin, Princess Changle was born in the royal family. Although her father is far away from His Majesty, her grandfather's family is His Majesty's most valued relatives. Our Xu family's lack is precisely these. The replacement of old ministers is the most difficult. You have to keep the friendship between you and Princess Changle."

The same is true of what Liu Ling's grandfather told her——

"You have a withdrawn personality, and you have such a tense fight with your father. Your Majesty's favor is unpredictable, and there is no guarantee period. I am old, and I can't protect you for long, and I'm afraid you have feelings for me and some resentment." My... the Xu family is different, their family does not rely on the royal family, and they are able to protect themselves. You have benefited a lot from making Xu Shijin a good friend."

In the end, it is for their own good, and the adults in the family have their own expectations.If it weren't for this, Liu Ling would have parted ways with Xu Shijin long ago—seeing her was like looking in a mirror, which was really bad.

Her feelings for Xu Shijin were never wrong.

It's been a year since we saw each other, and we just met and said a few words. Xu Shijin managed to make her impetuous and hard to restrain.She brought the shadow of Lu Mingshan in front of her, and while helping her slap the face of the Lu family, she also gloated and admired Liu Ling's reaction: You still can't forget Lu Mingshan, right?Ha, you must not forget.Then I can rest assured, I just like to see you unhappy.In order to watch a good show, Lu Mingshan will definitely appear.

Maybe the appearance of Lu Mingshan can help people get out of emotional pain as quickly as possible.But this violent method is too cruel, and it is difficult for normal people to use it on their friends.

Xu Shijin did not have this psychological pressure.

Lu Mingshan will appear...

Liu Ling closed her eyes and pinched her fingers into her palm. The unbearable pain in her heart far surpassed the pain in her palm.

She has been thinking about it.

She didn't want to see Lu Mingshan, she hoped that Lu Mingshan would never appear in front of her.

Unpleasant people and things should be sealed in memory and never show up.

Otherwise... She didn't know if she would do something irrational.

I always wanted to land on Lu Mingshan, so during the dinner, Liu Ling sat in the banquet, still in a low mood.The people around her were polite to her, but that was all.The lights are everywhere, and the shadows of people are reflected on the flying gauze curtains, stretched infinitely.Xu Shijin, who was sitting with her, was good at dancing with long sleeves, talking and laughing at Yan Yan with the people around her. Liu Ling's abnormality was in her expectation, but she was not surprised.

Even in a happy mood—A Ling!Still as usual, easily influenced by her.I really like Ah Ling's temper.

It was as if nothing had changed, she and A Ling were still young girls from the past, walking carefree between heaven and earth.

It's as if time has taken nothing away.

The rain was like drifting, she had nowhere to go, she knelt in the rain and begged, "I don't want to marry! Even if I am a tool, it is definitely not like this. I will never do what they want! Ah Ling, only you can save me... ...Only you!" That kind of feeling, maybe she will never forget it in her life.

The girl holding a smoky blue oiled paper umbrella looked down at her friend who was kneeling in front of her, raised the umbrella that covered her view, and looked down at her friend's muddy hands holding her clean skirt, "Okay what."

So Xu Shijin entered the palace and became a female official.

Time... has changed something.

The candle was flickering, looking at the turbid wine in his hand, Xu Shijin's smile deepened, but his eyes were cold.

After Shen Yan had settled the affairs of Jin Yiwei, after coming to the table, she habitually glanced at Liu Ling, her eyes paused for a while.She sits among people, and many people talk to her, and she responds, not like a puppet.But when he looked at her, he saw her pale and emaciated soul, which was shaking and couldn't last long.

Her unknown sadness, the sadness she never expressed to others, was like silent tears, shed for many years.It made the heart of those who saw the corner of the moment ache.

The handsome young man lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. When the maid beside him bent over to serve the dishes, he said a few words in a low voice, and the maid nodded.

Liu Ling seemed to be sitting in a world of ice and fire, when suddenly a maid came to serve her wine and dishes.It was routine, Liu Ling remained indifferent, when the other party was about to get up, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "Master Shen asked the princess, do you miss the starlight that day?"

Liu Ling suddenly raised her head, looked across, and found exactly the person she wanted to find.Across the vast sea of ​​people, you can still see him at a glance.

She walked in darkness and in silence all her life.We often think that the road ahead is the way back, but what we often meet is a meteorite from the sky.She walked on a straight and smooth road, among the hills and fields.The mountains and forests are silent, and people and ghosts are unpredictable.She was trudging in solitude, thinking that she was the only one in the world, but suddenly she looked up and saw the sky full of stars, the shining Milky Way.

"No, I don't miss him," she murmured suddenly, wanting to cry, "I miss him."

She saw Shen Yan's faint figure behind the gauze curtain.

"Who?" The maid who sent the message didn't hear clearly.

"Shen Yan." Liu Ling's words were clear.
