Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

However, after Qingping scolded Chen Jun in his heart, he still had to obediently go over to serve him after dinner.Chen Jun was washing her hands, she didn't raise her eyes when she heard the sound, she just said, "I'm going to go out to do something later, don't panic if you see anything."

Qingping knew that this sentence was for himself, so he secretly wrote it down.Suddenly Chen Jun turned around, casually lifted a strand of hair from her forehead, and said, "Liu Zhen."

Qingping only felt her wet fingertips brushing against his forehead, looked up in surprise, but Chen Jun had already walked to the door, she tilted her head and said lightly: "Help Qingping make his hair look better, why not?" It's like a dog ate it."

Qingping felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and suddenly felt his face was hot.When studying in the school hall, everyone used cloth strips to tie it up. I had never used such a complicated thing as a hairpin.Liu Zhen almost laughed out loud, seeing how crooked the hairpin was on Qingping's head, she pulled her to the back and combed her hair carefully.When the two came out, Chen Jun leaned against the door with her hands folded, looking lazily at a lantern under the eaves outside, the morning sun reflected on her face, she narrowed her eyes slightly.From this angle of Qingping's, we can see her straight nose bridge, her thin lips slightly pursed, and the line from the side face to the jaw is extraordinarily beautiful in the light and shadow. Qingping somehow remembered what happened last night again, and she vaguely felt something was wrong in her heart, but again Don't dare to think about it.

They followed Chen Jun downstairs to take a car, and the driver was the woman in black who couldn't speak when she came out of Chang'an. When she saw Qingping, she showed a friendly smile, and Chen Jun said, "This is Tianshu."

Qingping thought, Tianxuan and Tianshu, aren't these all the names of the Big Dipper?Could it be that there will be Tianji Tianquan Yuheng shaking the light and opening the sun next?After getting into the carriage, Qing Ping and Liu Zhen sat on both sides below Chen Jun. Chen Jun said, "Qing Ping, why did you go to the juggling troupe?"

Qingping knew that she would ask this question, and honestly explained the cause and effect.Chen Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not those people from Hezhou... It's a good thing you didn't get the top three last night, otherwise you would have been parading the streets in a float by now."

"Miss, I'm afraid I'm overthinking. With my aptitude, I'm afraid I won't be able to get the top three." Qingping said seriously. She also watched many people's performances last night, and she deeply felt that Miss Shao's arrangement was right. , according to the usual practice, I'm afraid they would have been scolded to death long ago.

When I think of Miss Shao, I think of Pingshu, and I don't know how anxious Pingshu will be when he comes back and finds that he is gone.Qing Ping sighed slightly in his heart, now it is impossible for her to go to the juggling troupe to bid farewell to Ping Shu or something, if that is the case, the identity she made up before will be exposed in one fell swoop, it might as well just be like this.

Chen Jun smiled irrefutably, and said, "What if? If you are regarded as the reincarnation of Dragon Girl, I'm afraid you will only be able to stay in Chenmin and Minzhou for the rest of your life."

As they talked, the carriage stopped, Chen Jun got out of the car first, followed by Qingping Liu Zhen, a magnificent house appeared in front of them, with high cornices, six or seven floors, and the plaque read 'He Mansion'.

A woman in scarlet clothes stood in front of the vermilion gate. Seeing Chen Jun, she bowed and said, "Miss Congratulations, my master has been waiting for you at Changju Waterside Pavilion for a long time."

She waved her hand, and a row of young men in short clothes came out from behind the door, all braided to the ankles, knelt down to welcome the guests, showing their smooth backs, the woman said respectfully: "Miss, please come in."

Chen Jun walked so fast that Qingping almost missed him.Seeing Chen Jun's robe billowing like waves, Qingping subconsciously looked at Liu Zhen, who had no expression on her face, only a little sweat from the tip of her nose.

It didn't take long to come to a garden. There was a small lake in the middle of the garden. There was a pavilion on the lake. There was an overturned cart on the side to bring the water from the lake and pour it on the top of the pavilion. Then the water stayed along the edge of the eaves, and the water curtain In an instant, the pavilion was enveloped.

In the long corridor connected to the pavilion stood many servants, both men and women, all in short clothes and long braids.There was a person sitting in the pavilion, but because they were too far apart, they couldn't see their faces clearly.Chen Jun said to them: "Stay here."

She entered the pavilion alone, and the car rolled over. The water flow instantly turned the place into an independent small world. People outside could not see inside, nor could they hear the voice of conversation.

A servant brought a small table, some wine and food, and invited them to sit on the ground.Liu Zhen and Qingping looked at each other, and sat cross-legged on the mat, but they didn't touch the food, they just sat like this.

Chen Jun was seated in the water pavilion, and the commoner woman opposite her said calmly: "What is the purpose of Miss coming here?"

Chen Jun sat with her arms folded and said, "I came here to find out the truth."

The woman asked, "Is true or false so important?"

Chen Jun said: "Sometimes it's important, sometimes it's not. Whether it's important depends on the person, not the thing." As she spoke, she took out a jade ring from her sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

The woman stretched out her hand to hold it in front of her eyes, the jade ring was warm and moist, emitting a faint soft light.She passed the knot through her slender fingers, and the jade ring turned slightly in mid-air, and finally returned to calm.

The phoenix bird carving pattern on the jade ring is clearly visible, the woman stroked the surface of the jade ring with her hand, and said after a while, "I'm sure, I've seen this thing before."

"Twenty years ago, when I first entered Fengting, it was the last round of the scientific examination. I was the best among the 20 six candidates. Your Majesty asked me for advice on the main hall. On that day, she had a piece of jade like this hanging around her waist." Jue."

Chen Jun slowly closed her eyes, and the water flowed down gently, bringing cool and moist vapor, just like the past and old dreams, like the passing of time.

She couldn't remember the appearance of her biological father for a long time, but she seemed to see him put the jade ring into the baby's package with her own eyes, and she decided to die.

Jue, the same decision, is also a unique solution.

She said: "Please tell me about my father, what kind of person he is."

The woman put down the jade ring, the bones of her fingers were visible, and said with a smile, "Yi, the eldest son of the Wei family, is a peerless beauty. It is rumored in Kyoto that we have to watch him from a distance across the peach blossoms in May Lingnan, otherwise everyone will stare like a torch, and he will be like an early spring." It's melted like snow."

Chen Jun closed her eyes and smiled, "I seem to have seen it."

"In terms of demeanor and essays, I don't know which son of a noble family in Chang'an can surpass him, but he married into the palace..." The woman said, the corners of her eyes with fine lines slowly loosened, Despondently said: "All the good things in this world will wither early. Flowers, flowing clouds, beauties, it's all like this."

As she said that, she got up and used her hand to wipe the water curtain, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the grassroots call you Miss now, and I'm afraid they will call you 'His Royal Highness' in the future."

"You already know the cause and effect. Hezhou and his party, you have become the Patriarch of Bahuang. At this time, you will travel to Minzhou and go north from Yunzhou to return to Chang'an."

The woman took a deep look at her and said meaningfully: "What exactly do you want?"

This was what she asked Qingping a long time ago, and now she said it from another mouth. She opened her eyes and said, "I've been thinking, why do we have 'Eight Wilds'? Four Seas Guards, Eight Wilds Thunder. The world Of course, there is no need for the eight famines in peacetime, but when there is great chaos, righteous men are needed to run and shout, and use the force of thunder to set things right."

The woman did not speak, and they looked at each other, as if it was a contest before the swordsman's competition. The sword was not out of the sheath, but the intention was like a blade, showing its sharpness.

After a while the woman looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, saying: "It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!Ten years ago, I told my master that there would be chaos in this world soon!But no one believed me, they just thought I was crazy! "

She clenched her hands and said eagerly: "I spent five years traveling all over six states and eighteen counties. Everyone thought I was just greedy for mountains and rivers, but they didn't know—"

"They don't know that when I saw Xirong in Yunzhou, it was gradually rising, and the army of our country was weak, and the generals of the court were replaced by aristocratic families. The capable people would never make it to the top. The grassland outside Juning Pass 100 years ago is a Big mistake, when all the ministries of Xirong are unified, the army is strong and horses are strong, they may counterattack at any time. Recently, there have been many conflicts in the defense line of Yunzhou. They are testing our bottom line! It has only been so many years, the Golden Tent has been built, it is said They found Bi Shu, only a month away, and when Xirong's god and government are united, it will be the day of war!"

She spoke faster and faster, more anxiously, and she didn't know if her hairpins were scattered: "But what about our adults? They flattered the rich and powerful, and invaded the people's fields. In Hezhou alone, there were more than 1000 cases of land invasions, let alone Min. The Yantian in the state is Chenzhou, willing to spend a lot of money for a sea-watching banquet, but unwilling to comb the river, let the floods rage every year, in the end it is still the people who suffer!"

"But the taxes are only too much. How many Dragon Girl Temples have been built in the temple? There are countless officials who have pocketed their own money. These people have lost the efforts of their ancestors little by little. Do they have to wait until the country is destroyed? Only then can you wake up!"

The woman was out of breath, and finally sat slumped. She covered her face with her hands and said, "...But this is the world...Your Highness, what do you think?"

Chen Jun sat silently, thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the world seems to be peaceful, but in reality it is full of dangers, which is why I came here."

She said: "No one believed your words in the first ten years, but now I do. You resigned from office and returned to your hometown, traveled to six states and eighteen counties, and wrote countless landscape travel notes, but it was not your intention. It is just that mountains and rivers have feelings, but people's hearts are fickle. Those who are in love are insane, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people."

The woman folded her clothes and sat upright. Chen Jun put her hand on the table and said softly, "But this has not started yet. As long as it doesn't get to the worst, there must be a chance to turn it around."

The woman's eyes were like lightning, and she said in disbelief: "Do you want to—"

Chen Jun made an interrupting gesture, with a focused and serious expression, and said: "Since you saw what I did, you can guess what I was thinking. I don't know, would you like to come out of the mountain to save me for this stupid person?" Can someone point the way?"

She was sitting in the water pavilion, but it seemed that she was already on the phoenix seat, with power in her hands, ruling the world.She was majestic and majestic, sitting upright, reaching out her hand to hold the piece of jade in a lofty posture, deep sadness flashed in her eyes, the black eyes seemed to contain the night sky of vast stars, luxurious and clear.

Her life turned to a time when everything had never started in the dream of butterfly wings, her people no longer suffered from various misfortunes, and her country was never invaded by war.When she stood on the tower of Le'an overlooking this land, she really felt that this was her country.

She is the king of this kingdom, past, present, and future.Her name will be engraved in the immortal history and left to be sung by future generations.This is her innate responsibility, and it is the place where she is not afraid of death. She will guard this land until the last moment of her life.

Even if she did it all over again, twice...thousands of times, she would still do it.

I also have good intentions, even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets.
