Rebirth after waste

Chapter 158

In June of the 24th year of Linqing, when the flowers were blooming like brocades, Gu Yunxian returned to the Gu family after a year of absence, as the future princess.

Her parents were very happy that she had such an encounter in the palace this time. Although the members of the Gu family were dissatisfied, they did not dare to reveal half of it due to the double pressure from the queen and the prince. Playing up the bride to be married.

One day, the clan sister Gu Yunruo came to the door suddenly, and asked her with a smile if she wanted to learn dancing together.

"There is a new master who teaches soft dance in the clan. He knows many extremely difficult dance steps. All the sisters have gone to learn it. Sanniang, do you want to join me?"

Seeing Gu Yunruo's expectant face, Gu Yunxian smiled helplessly, "Thank you sister for inviting me, but my sister is clumsy and can't dance at all. Let's forget it."

Gu Yunruo was a little disappointed, "That's it. I was still thinking that His Highness the Crown Prince loves singing and dancing very much. If you learn San Niang, you will surely make him like dancing for His Highness." He sighed softly, "But since you don't want to, then Forget it."

Gu Yunxian thought about it, and suddenly stopped her, "Sister, stay here."

Gu Yunruo turned around in surprise.

Gu Yunxian pursed her lips, a little hesitant.

She knows that Ji Xun likes to watch women dance. In the last life, he had several concubines because of this.At that time, it wasn't that she didn't want to go to learn something, but there were so many people in the palace and she didn't have that much energy, so she had to give up in the end.I still remember that before leaving the palace, he told himself that he was about to get the crown soon, and she needed to give him a big gift.

He is an expensive prince, and he has never seen any kind of treasure. If she wants to give him a big gift, she can only start from her heart.

"My sister was polite, but my sister changed her mind." Gu Yunxian said with a smile, "Please take my sister with you, my sister wants to learn to dance."

Gu Yunxian never thought that after so many years, she would repeat her childhood nightmare again.Practice dance steps with the sisters every day, turning around again and again.She is not good at this by nature, so it is more difficult for her to learn than others. Sometimes, if she is not careful, her posture will be extremely weird, which will attract a lot of ridicule.

Gu Erniang is the one who likes to laugh at her the most.

"Sanniang, it's not like this, and your hands shouldn't be like this." She said while shaking her head, very helpless, "You see why your body is so stiff? Naturally, softness is the first priority in this soft dance. Element, you are like an iron man, even if you jump out, it is difficult to look graceful."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxian slowly put down her raised right hand, and turned her head to look at Gu Erniang.However, although Gu Erniang had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of sarcasm and provocation, as if she was waiting to see her get angry.

Gu Yunxian thought for a while, but still didn't bother to argue with her, "Thank you, second sister, for your guidance. My younger sister understands." She can laugh as she likes, anyway, she learned this dance just for that person, as long as she turns around, he can see the most Just look good.

Gu Erniang saw that she still looked so tepid, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, she couldn't hold it back for a while, and said from her throat, "There is neither a queen nor a prince here, why pretend to be virtuous... .”

The voice was too low, Gu Yunxian pretended not to hear it.

It's just that there are many such things, and she doesn't want to practice dancing with them anymore.Anyway, she knows how to dance, and she just needs to practice more, so after a month, she no longer goes to the master, but practices alone in a forest in the mansion.

There is a deep meaning in choosing this place, because her ultimate plan is to dance in the forest for Ji Xun, so it is also important to familiarize herself with the venue in advance.During those half a month, she went to practice dancing in the forest every afternoon, and Ah Ci stood by one side in a daze and dozed off, euphemistically saying "keep an eye on the young lady, so that no one else will disturb her".

Ah Ci was really useless, half a month later, her young lady was still disturbed.

Gu Yunxian was dressed in plain white dance clothes. After turning around, he suddenly saw a person standing not far away.

The white robes fell from the eyes, like flying petals.And Cui Shuo smiled on his lips, looking at him gently.

She froze suddenly.

It's been almost two months since she came out of the palace. During this period, it's not that she didn't want to go to him, but now she is the princess appointed by the Tian family, and it's really inappropriate to leave the palace without authorization.In addition, he had returned to Qinghe's family before, so she could only suppress the anxiety in her heart, and was going to ask Gu Sanlang for help after he returned to Yudu, asking him to come over.

But who would have thought that he had been so focused on dancing these days that he forgot about it.He has actually returned from Qinghe, and bumped into himself in this mansion, just like the first time we met...

She lowered her head and saw her white skirt dragging the ground, spreading on the green grass like snow.

"I... have met Liu Lang." There was a slight astringency in her voice.

He seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then he smiled and bowed, "Cui was so abrupt that he stumbled into Miss's dancing place by mistake, please forgive me."

"Liu Lang's words are serious. This is a place in the mansion. Of course everyone can come. It's my concubine's maid who never told Liu Lang that there are female relatives here, so it has nothing to do with you." The stupid girl scolded her thousands of times.Cui Shuo already had feelings for her, so bumping into her like this was like teasing her, if it made him fall deeper and deeper...

"Miss danced just now. It seems to be a thin-waisted dance that is popular in Qichuan area, but it is different when you look closely." Cui Shuo lowered his head slightly, revealing his beautiful forehead.

Gu Yunxian didn't expect that he would talk about the dance steps with himself in a serious manner, so he paused and said: "This dance was made by a master from the Western Regions in the mansion. She combined the subtleties of the Western Regions' healthy dances into the soft dance. So it has a different charm."

Cui Shuo thought for a moment, then smiled, "I see, it's interesting."

Gu Yunxian was a little surprised that Cui Shuo would appreciate this dance.It's just because the northern aristocratic women like to dance softly nowadays, and feel that it makes them look more delicate and immortal, so the master who teaches dance is also sought after by the girls of Gu's mansion because of his good soft dance.And this dance adds the element of healthy dance, although it is fresh, it also makes the girls lose the opportunity to pretend to be a goddess, so few people are willing to learn it.Gu Yunxian considered that Ji Xun would probably like it because Ji Xun always took a slanted sword, so despite the fact that this dance was several times more difficult than the other ones, he still persevered in learning it.

But it turned out that Cui Shuo also thought this dance was good?

Gu Yunxian thought of Zongzong in the previous life, and suddenly realized that he was different from those stubborn and pedantic scholar-bureaucrats from the very beginning.He innovates, is full of tolerance for any new and strange things, and can quickly accept them.Because of this, he can become Ji Xun's close friend, and he can also lead the new political party to clear the court and stabilize the country.

She had been admired by him all her life in vain, but she didn't understand him at all.

Thinking of admiration, Gu Yunxian's eyelashes trembled slightly.No, Cui Shuo's attitude towards her at the moment is really strange.According to what he once said, he wanted to marry her before she entered the palace, and now that she has been betrothed to the crown prince, he should be frustrated.No matter how good his acting skills are, it's impossible to pretend like this.

His attitude towards her should not be so peaceful.

It was as if...the two had never met before...

"Suo is studying Qi Chuan's qin music recently, and at this moment, I have an inspiration to make a piece for Miss's dance." Cui Shuo said with a smile, "If Miss doesn't mind, Shuo will send the score to the house someday."

"No...no need!" Gu Yunxian quickly refused.Just kidding, this is the dance she danced to Ji Xun, if he finds out that the song written by Cui Shuo was used later, he will swallow her alive!

Cui Shuo's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, of course it is impossible."

Two unmarried men and women passed on the score in private, and the official gave it a scientific name called "private transfer and acceptance".If he really did this, it would only tarnish the reputation of the young lady.

Cui Shuo smiled apologetically at Gu Yunxian, "Today I was really rude, I'm ashamed and ashamed. Shuo didn't stay in the backyard for a long time, so I'm leaving."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Yunxian couldn't help calling out, "Liulang..."

Cui Shuo stopped and looked at her suspiciously.

Gu Yunxian said slowly: "If you really compose the tune, you can discuss it with the third cousin. He also likes Qi Chuan's rhythm very much recently."

Cui Shuo raised his eyebrows, "Third cousin?"

"It's the patriarch's third son."

Cui Shuo understood, "So you are Sanlang's younger sister." In fact, Gu Sanlang's recent liking for Qi Chuan's rhythm was brought about by him, but he still thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. Shuo understands." After that, Without further delay, he turned and left.

Gu Yunxian looked at his back, lost in thought.

His last words proved that Gu Yunxian's guess was not wrong.He really didn't know who she was.

Did things go awry?In this life, he had never met her.

The sun was warm today, Gu Sanlang sat under the flower stand in the courtyard and played the piano after lunch, while his newly adopted concubine Ji danced lightly beside the flower stand.The waist is bent, the purple clothes are swirling, and the end is graceful and charming.

He was excited to watch, but suddenly heard the sound of transmission, his cousin who is about to become the princess came over.

He waved his hand to signal Concubine Ji to leave, he turned around and propped his chin to Gu Yun, who came in with the maid, and said enviously, "Xiao Yunniang, why do you have time to see the third cousin today?"

Gu Yunxian has a good relationship with him, so he was not too polite, and sat down directly opposite him, "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time, I want to see if you are all right."

"Great, great!" Gu Sanlang said with a smile, "I thought Xiao Yunniang had a husband, so I forgot about my brother!"

When Gu Yunxian heard him mention Ji Xun, he felt a little uncomfortable. He turned his eyes away and said, "Why is everyone mentioning him first when they see me now? Could it be that in the third cousin's heart, the younger sister is just the fiancee of His Royal Highness the Prince?" No?"

Gu Sanlang laughed, "What you said is interesting. Why, are you jealous of your future husband?"

Gu Yunxian poured himself a cup of tea, and said after drinking, "Isn't it possible?"

Gu Sanlang "tsk tsk tsk" sighed for a long time, Fang said: "If you want to be jealous, you won't be idle in the future. Our Prince's Highness, not to mention his noble status, has such a good appearance, which is very eye-catching. Just go to Long'an Street and grab any young ladies and ask, which one doesn't admire Chu Jun's demeanor?"

Gu Yunxian pretended to be casual and said: "He is not the only one who has a good appearance. My sister heard that you have a friend, third cousin, who is also handsome and looks like a banished fairy!"

"Well, you've also heard of Liulang?" Gu Sanlang stroked his chin, "He is indeed born well, but it's a pity that your brother and I are not masculine, otherwise I might have something to do with him."

Gu Yunxian choked on a sip of tea and coughed for a long time while leaning on the stone table.

That night, Gu Yunxian sat in the courtyard watching the moon.Now it is close to fifteen, so the moon is getting rounder and rounder.Gu Yunxian tilted his neck and looked at it for a long time. He felt that it was not much different from his own bronze mirror, and immediately felt a little dull.

A figure appeared above her line of sight, and Gu Yunxian saw Ji Xun's dark eyes and the corners of his lips slightly raised.

She propped herself up and tried to sit up, but he held her shoulders and fell back on the mat again.

"You... why are you here?" She asked, but saw that he had already held a lock of her long hair, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it lightly.She had just washed her hair, and her black hair was still wet, and she held it in her hands like a piece of jade, moist.

"Of course it came in over the wall." Ji Xun explained lightly, and directly took the topic elsewhere, "It smells so good. Did you use orchids?"

Gu Yunxian felt that although his tone was flat, his eyes were a little burning, so he took a step back cautiously, and pulled back his hair by the way, "En."

Ji Xun knew what she was jealous of, suppressed the agitation in her heart, and coughed, "I saw you in a daze when I came in just now, and I didn't know when someone came. What are you thinking?"

Gu Yunxian touched his wet hair, "I was thinking, what is obsession."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, "Thinking about something so deep at night?" Seeing that Gu Yunxian didn't answer, he said, "Then, did you come up with something?"

Gu Yunxian looked up at the moon like a bronze mirror, and sighed deeply, "I have a little idea."

"Well, let's hear it." Ji Xun sat down opposite her, assuming a posture of listening attentively.

"I think the so-called destiny is not something we can't control at all. If the obsession is too deep, God will be moved." Gu Yunxian held his chin, "Just like us, the fate of this life is that we worked hard in the last life We asked for it. Our obsession was too deep, so we changed each other's fate. But God can satisfy us, and maybe it can satisfy others."

Ji Xun was silent for a moment, then said implicitly: "So?"

"Today, I saw Cui Shuo."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun's expression changed immediately.Although he tried his best to conceal it, Gu Yunxian could see the tension in his eyes, "What did you... say?"

"It's nothing. He discussed Qi Chuan's rhythm with me, said a few words and left."

"Only this?" Ji Xun frowned, "You didn't try..."

Gu Yunxian smiled slightly and looked at Ji Xun calmly, "He doesn't remember me anymore."

Ji Xun was stunned.

"I tested him, and then I tested my third cousin. In this life, Cui Shuo really didn't know me, let alone have any admiration for me."

Gu Yunxian always remembered that after the death of Ji Xun in the previous life, she went to visit Shen Zhuyang.At that time, Shen Zhuyang had been tortured beyond human form by the bleak Yongxiang, and he could only breathe his last breath.Under Gu Yunxian's persecution, she told her that the reason why they knew Cui Shuo's feelings for her was because Gu Sanlang leaked the word.

So if Cui Shuo's fate in this life is still the same as in the previous life, Gu Sanlang should also know his feelings for Gu Yunxian at this time.But today neither Cui Shuo nor Gu Sanlang showed any strangeness in front of her.Gu Sanlang even teased her with a smile, saying that she praised other men so much, beware of His Royal Highness being jealous.

She has lived three lifetimes, so it is impossible for her to be fooled by both of them at the same time.

In other words, this time, Cui Shuo really didn't remember her.

She thought of the man who handed her the lantern by the Longjiang Pond, the man who saluted her at His Excellency Luo Cheng, and the man who showed his sincerity to her in the melting moonlight, she felt a little dazed.He is the cleanest piece of bamboo in the world, upright and responsible.In the last life, he entrusted his sincerity and folded his whole life for himself. She knew that he would not regret it at the last moment, because it was his choice.But he also understood that if there was an afterlife, Gu Yunxian would only want to continue his relationship with Ji Xun, so he didn't want to meet her again, and didn't want to bother her anymore.

He chose to give up.

In this life, the sky is high and the water is long, and they have nothing to do with each other.She is Ji Xun's wife and future queen, and he is the number one talented person walking among high-ranking scholars, calm and wise, able to find a world for him to use.

They will always be strangers in each other's world.

Gu Yunxian walked up to Ji Xun, half-kneeled down, and looked at him seriously, "We have our obsessions, and Liu Lang has Liu Lang's obsessions. He no longer remembers me and is no longer emotional for me. In this life, He won't bother me anymore."

This was an excellent thing, but Gu Yunxian suddenly burst into tears.Ji Xun stretched out a finger, caught her crystal teardrops, and said softly: "Are you reluctant to let go of your tears?"

Before Gu Yunxian answered, he had already sighed softly, "If you don't want to give up, then don't give up. After crying this time, don't cry for him again."

She wants to say that she is not reluctant, she is just too grateful.I thought that being able to see Ji Xun again was the greatest consummation, but I never thought that this consummation could be even more complete.The only person she has failed, the only person she owes, also has the opportunity to start her life again, God is really merciful.

He let her cry in his arms for a long time, and finally patted her on the back comfortingly, "Okay, okay, don't cry."

She came out of his arms sobbing, and he took out a ropa from his sleeve.Gu Yunxian saw a green peach flower embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief, and recognized that it was exactly what she made for him, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you carry this with you?"

He gently wiped her tears, "You finally gave me something, so naturally you have to take it with you." His eyes rolled, "Speaking of which, where is the birthday present you prepared for me?"

Naturally, Gu Yunxian would not tell him that he had been hiding in the woods to practice dancing recently, and said vaguely: "You will know when the time comes."

Ji Xun smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait." After a pause, he looked at her with ill intentions, "Ugly words come first, if the gift is not good, I will punish you."

"Punishment?" Gu Yun glanced at him enviously, "How?"

Ji Xun leaned closer, looked at the long and curly eyelashes on her white skin, and let out a breath of steam, "What do you think... how to punish?" His voice was low and hoarse, full of charm.

Gu Yunxian felt his heart beating faster, almost jumping out of his throat.Seeing him getting closer, she suddenly reached out and pressed his chest, pressing him directly onto the grass.Then, regardless of whether he fell or not, he jumped up from the mat, threw down the sentence "It's getting late, His Royal Highness should go back to the East Palace earlier" and fled in despair.

Ji Xun was lying on the ground, looking at her flustered back, with a lazy smile on her lips.However, when his eyes touched the bright moon in the sky, his smile faded away and his eyes became dark.

It is this moon that has shone on the same world for thousands of years.The world rises and falls, but it is always there, as if it doesn't know anything.But……

"You've seen it all, right?" Ji Xun whispered.

I saw obsessed people in the world, I saw delusional sentient beings, I saw their desires, loves and hates.

The moonlight shone in the courtyard, sprinkled with a layer of brilliance.The scenery in the courtyard seemed to be floating in this layer of twilight, as beautiful as a dream.

The bright moon is like a dream.
