Empress Dowager

The melody is melodious and tactful, like ringing rings and lingering lingering sounds, but it is always somewhat incompatible with the lyrics that contain a hint of irony.At least, Gao Lixin thinks so.

It was perhaps the harshest tune she had ever heard.

Gao Lixin slammed down the table with a wave of his hand, the tea in the water glass poured up and splashed onto the table, the faint sandalwood fragrance mixed with the strong spring tea fragrance instantly permeated the whole private room.

Miss Yinglan's singing also stopped abruptly.

Gao Lixin held his breath, and calmed down a little with the fragrance in the air.Her lips moved lightly, and she carefully chewed the lyrics. It was nothing more than satirizing her as a majestic imperial concubine, who would marry her sister-in-law, win her love with a sword, and lose the world by not seeking power in her position.

Gao Lixin was annoyed about "the red silk was covered with an ivory bed, and the beautiful girl was hugged in her arms". Although she had no intention of participating in politics before, she was not a disciple who used to hang around the place of fireworks as the lyrics said.

Such words seriously hurt her, just because she wanted her to be unpopular.The common people have the freedom of speech. If others are punished just because of this fabricated song, it will further confirm the empress dowager's unreasonable and unreasonable character.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to suppress the noise in the market with power, only...

A ray of sunlight came in through the window lattice from outside the window, Gao Lixin narrowed her eyes slightly, and her whole body seemed to be bathed in the soft light, which warmed her cold heart just now.

She suddenly felt that this was an opportunity.

She knew that if she asked Miss Yinglan about the source of the song, she would not be able to find out why, so she took the next best thing and only found out which high-ranking officials and nobles liked to listen to the song in private.

She always wanted to find out who was following Gao Jin's lead. Obviously, this matter must have something to do with her good sister Gao Jin.

Sure enough, Miss Yinglan pursed her lips and thought for a while, the embarrassment in her eyes was beyond words.

But in fact, although she is humble, she can't understand the faces of those who are obedient and disobedient. It's just that she is only a woman, and she is afraid of being implicated. After thinking about it, she finally revealed some people. , University scholar Miao Zan and other officials, of course, there are some princes and nobles who like to join in the fun, among them are Chu Yi, the nephew of Prime Minister Chu, and Wu Yu, Gao Jin's cousin.

When Gao Lixin heard it, he smiled instead of anger, a smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was shallow, but it lasted for a long time and was difficult to faint.

She waved her hand to signal Miss Yinglan to step back.

"I want to give you a wedding gift." Gao Lixin raised the corners of his eyebrows, his meaningful smile was bottomless, but it was extraordinarily bright, and his right hand caressed Chu Yingxuan with rare tenderness Rou Yi clutched the skirt of his clothes tightly on his lap.

Chu Yingxuan's originally cold and trembling hands were suddenly wrapped in a ball of warmth, full of warmth, and even warmed her icy body, as if the cold river water outside the window had been covered all night by the clear sky in the early morning. A cloud of sunlight melted away.

It's just... Chu Yingxuan was a little dazed, she didn't know how true or false this sudden overture was.

She raised her head and looked at the golden halo reflected on half of Gao Lixin's cheeks under the sunlight, her delicate facial features were bright and moving, they were eyes full of black jewels, but Chu Yingxuan was inexplicably afraid to look at her, As if caught off guard, she fell into the bottomless abyss in her eyes, gloomy, desolate and terrifying.

The hand held by Gao Lixin suddenly stiffened a lot.

Gao Lixin looked up, as if he didn't see the flickering expression on Chu Yingxuan's face, he withdrew his arm, and Gu Zi picked up the square towel on the table and wiped the one that was holding Chu Yingxuan just now. hand.

"You..." Chu Jia couldn't hold back her anger, her face changed again and again, she was about to stand up with her hands on the table, her face flushed red, obviously she was angry at Gao Lixin's humiliation to her sister.

Chu Yingxuan lowered her eyes, and when she raised her head again, the disappointment on her face was covered by a forced smile. She raised her hand to stop Chu Jianing's anger that might continue, and shook her gently. shook his head.

Chu Yingxuan secretly laughed at herself, she didn't know that her tolerance for Gao Lixin had reached such a level, is it really a turn of events?

In the previous life, she showed Gao Lixin's sincerity like a broom, but in this life she abandoned herself like a shoe, it really is karma!

Chu Yingxuan suppressed the bitterness inadvertently revealed between her brows, pursed her lips lightly, and put the unspeakable bitterness into her mouth. She wanted to remember this feeling. Only in this way, could she know the favor that Gao Lixin gave her back then. How sweet it is.

Chu Yingxuan secretly comforted herself, she still accepted the other party in her previous life, didn't she?Thinking of this, her mood at this time was like the blue sky revealed after the clouds and mists were lifted, as if she had seen hope.

She believed that people's hearts are fleshy, and as long as she did for Gao Lixin what the other party did for her in the previous life, even she would have been touched. She didn't believe that Gao Lixin would be indifferent.

Several people eat the same meal, each with their own concerns.When they returned, it was already the top of the willow on the moon.

***

Gao Lixin's Empress Dowager's Mansion has been built and is located in the most prosperous area of ​​the city.

If she doesn't want to live in the Shaohua Palace in the East Palace on weekdays, she can go back to her own Granddaughter's Mansion. This is the emperor's special permission to her.

After all, there are too many constraints in the palace and isolation from the outside of the palace, some things are hard to hear, and the opportunities for experience are naturally much less.

Gao Lixin has been looking for an opportunity to recommend himself to the emperor since he returned from the cruise ship last time to thoroughly investigate some officials who formed cliques for personal gain and oppressed the people, but because it was difficult to collect effective evidence, this matter was put on hold for the time being.

In the past few days, she has been thinking hard in the mansion, and finally came up with some plans, but only with the emperor's approval and hand-picking.

The sky gradually darkened, a ray of autumn wind blew past, and the clear light like water washed the soft autumn night.A cold moon hung quietly on the side of the high palace wall, and the cold moonlight filled the earth.

The table in the imperial study room was full of memorials, and the man sitting in front of the table was slightly arched, his eyes were filled with fatigue, and his white beard drooped listlessly.It wasn't until after listening to Gao Lixin's words that his sleepy expression lifted slightly, his misty eyes flickered lightly, and his forehead nodded a few times, as if to express his agreement.

The emperor is very pleased with Gao Lixin's progress. After all, he is old now, and the empress dowager's ability to take on the important task of controlling the world really relieves his worries.

***

The long night is always difficult for some people to sleep alone, especially in Chu Xiangfu, in the boudoir of the eldest lady, Chu Yingxuan tossed and turned when she fell asleep, with a soft wooden bed under her body and a warm brocade quilt on her body. It has been several days, but Chu Yingxuan still can't fall asleep, all she can think about is Gao Lixin.

Chu Yingxuan got up and put on a gauze robe with plum pattern, picked up the silver sword inlaid on the wall, opened the door and walked to the green bamboo forest alone under the moonlight.

The Green Bamboo Forest was the place where she and Gao Lixin fell in love in the previous life, and it was also a quiet place they often went to in their spare time.

There are half-mountain pavilions for people to rest, sweet spring water, cool and cool, and lush forests and bamboos.

It's just that... the flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year.

In this life, when she woke up and found this green bamboo forest, there was no trace of that person, and even the surrounding mountains, rivers and forests also lost their color and became desolate.

Chu Yingxuan jumped up on tiptoe on the stone steps beside the pavilion, and the silver sword was pulled out from its sheath with a whoosh. The long sword was sprinkled with a layer of bright moonlight, which added a bit of coldness, but it was quite different from the The frozen expression on Chu Yingxuan's face complemented each other perfectly.

Chu Yingxuan waved her long sword recklessly in the jungle, and the bamboo touched by the sword made a hideous "click" sound, becoming the soul of her dead under the sword.

Chu Yingxuan clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, a little crystal oozes from her forehead, and her breathing is a little short, but it is still difficult to express all the grievances, depression and hatred in her heart.She wanted to scream, she wanted to kill Gao Jin who had caused her the most.

Every time Gao Lixin neglected her, she hated Gao Jin even more.If it wasn't for that person, she and Gao Lixin wouldn't have died without seeing each other, which made her live so humblely in this life.

Thinking of this, Chu Yingxuan jumped up, glared at her and swung her sleeves, shaking her sword, and there was another crisp crackling sound.

Gao Lixin came out of the palace, got into the carriage and prepared to drive to the Palace of the Empress Dowager.But in the middle of the journey, she suddenly ordered to change the route, and when she was still a short distance from the emerald bamboo forest, she got out of the carriage ahead of time and walked there alone.

Since she woke up in this life, she has never been to the green bamboo forest. I wonder if the scenery remains the same?

Stepping on the soft fallen leaves, there was a rustling sound from the soles of the feet, but it was suddenly covered by the sound of a piece of green bamboo breaking.

Gao Lixin was stunned, hid behind the fake rock and opened his eyes wide to look for the source of the sound, and saw Chu Yingxuan's long hair falling down, covering half of the cold cheeks, but only revealing the other party's black eyes shining in the moonlight There was a stern silver light, and the long sword in her hand exuded a raging fierceness.

"She knows martial arts?" Gao Lixin slandered suspiciously.

In fact, there are still things I want to say about whether it is related or not. A few days ago, someone said on Weibo whether there is a successful teacher-student relationship. I think it is difficult, right?First of all, there is an age difference between the teacher and the students, and they are of the same sex. There are too many hurdles to overcome. Most teachers will not try it, right?So teacher-student love is very difficult to succeed, and sometimes it is taboo for many people, so if there is success, I really want to bless it!not easy.
