New·New Consort

It was an extremely hot night, and when she saw the dark red sky, Tianxiang realized that it might be raining.

Before the storm and thunderstorm, it is always depressing.

In this stagnant air, she only felt that it was so hot that it was difficult to breathe. She wanted to go back to her room to rest, but she had to change her mind and walk to the back garden.

In the back garden, there was the sound of waving Pokong and clothes brushing against the wind. She was a little suspicious: Could it be an assassin or a scout?She suddenly became nervous, looked left and right, pulled up a guy with a backing hand, managed to pick a gun, and rushed towards the source of the sound.

There were no stars and no moon, and under the dark red sky, she could not see clearly, but she could clearly see the white skirts flying up and down.

She immediately recognized Feng Suzhen who was dancing the sword alone in the court.

Such a big prefecture, such a big Miaozhou, no, even in the whole world, in her eyes, there is only this one person who can wear this white dress extraordinarily handsome, and his every move is a blend of masculine heartiness and feminine elegance.

The sight in front of me is neither a flower before the moon, nor a beautiful scene on a good day, but it is so beautiful that it makes one's heart beat.

Feng Suzhen didn't seem to know that she was here, she still danced with every move as before, with a vigorous posture, like a dragon and a crane.But the sword's momentum fluctuated, sometimes like a thunderbolt, and sometimes it swept down thousands of troops like a river and sea, which made the viewers marvel at it, and also made people feel the calm sword intent that people dare not approach.

When Tianxiang came to her senses, the "sword" was stopping right in front of the tip of her nose.

She was startled, took two steps back, and then took a closer look: Where is the sword, it is a sugar cane.

Feng Suzhen stretched her arms forward: "The prince prepared it. I asked someone to freeze it in the ice cellar, and it turned into a lump of ice, which was hard—it should melt by now."

Dare to make such a big noise just now, is it actually melting sugar cane?

She stretched out her hand a little stiffly, but found that she was holding something in her hand——

"Why did the princess dismantle the bamboo poles used to build grape vines in the mansion?" Feng Suzhen asked seriously.

"I, I... I think this pole is not set up properly. I am afraid that the grapes will not be able to climb it, so I plan to set it up again." Tianxiang let go of her hand quickly, and the long and thin bamboo pole fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Feng Suzhen smiled slightly, took out the handkerchief from her arms, wrapped the sugarcane and handed it to Tianxiang.

Through the thin handkerchief, I also felt a bit of coolness from the sugar cane.

Tianxiang suddenly stopped being hot.

The sugarcane was still a little icy, but she held it in her mouth without biting down.

Feng Suzhen pointed to another place: "Go there and sit and eat."

Tianxiang nodded, and obediently followed her to the pavilion in Zhizhou Mansion.Back then, the few of them who were recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition were here, trying every means to attract Feng Suzhen to see him.

She was a little emotional, sitting at the stone table, looking at the window upstairs.In the previous life in Hexi, the foreign devil in the Taixi caravan said that there is a story in their country. In the story, the son of a family often expresses his sorrow to the beauty upstairs, and sighs why the two cannot be together.

Since we can't be together, why bother to tease each other?

I can't help myself.

People, more or less, are somewhat fragile.

The same is true for Li Zhaoting and Feng Suzhen back then.

She was fascinated, and Feng Suzhen at the side also saw her fascinated: "Is the prison fun?"

Tianxiang turned her face away guiltily: "What prison?"

"I watched you enter the prison with my own eyes, and stayed there for almost an hour." Feng Suzhen said slowly.

Tianxiang said: "...you follow me!"

Feng Suzhen looked calm: "Chu Gong happened to see it."

Tianxiang said: "...you Chugong have been outside for so long?"

Feng Suzhen said: "I thought you might be thirsty after talking in prison for so long, so I brought you a sugar cane."

Tianxiang said: "...Thank you..."

Feng Suzhen said: "Princess is too polite."

The two fell silent in the windless night.

"yesterday……"

"yesterday……"

With the same voice, the two looked at each other, and then staggered each other's eyes.

"You first……"

"You first……"

They all spoke in unison again.

Tian Xiang has always been impatient, she patted the table and said, "Say it first!"

Feng Suzhen was no longer ambiguous: "Yesterday, you told the prince to let go of the Marquis?"

The rhythm suddenly became faster, and Tianxiang was a little uncomfortable, so she replied without thinking: "Yes!"

Feng Suzhen asked, "Why?"

"I don't want to watch him court death." Tianxiang replied confidently, but suddenly felt something was wrong, so she lowered her head dully.

Feng Suzhen looked at Tianxiang with complicated eyes for a moment, and then said: "Princess has never rubbed sand in her eyes, why are you so confused this time?"

Tianxiang lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Yes, I was confused."

"Princess, do you know where you are most confused?" Feng Suzhen's voice suddenly softened.

Tianxiang was a little dazed, and raised her head.

"You asked me to discuss something with you, so if you have something, why didn't you discuss it with me?" Feng Suzhen's bright eyes glowed with gentleness, and it was not the blame she imagined.

Tianxiang couldn't turn the corner: "No, I'm just..." She was tongue-tied for a long time, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say—you can't say that you are too tender, little friend, and I am afraid that I will scare you if I say it.

The corners of Feng Suzhen's lips raised: "One person counts the disadvantages, and two people count the strengths. Princess, I am the number one scholar after all."

Tianxiang laughed: "You still said that I hold grudges, it is clear that you hold grudges more than me—" He couldn't help but defend himself, "Actually, I just want to try to see if he really wants to die..."

Feng Suzhen asked: "Did you try it out?"

Tianxiang nodded: "He really wants to die!"

Feng Suzhen asked again: "So what? So what if you try it out?"

Yes, so what, I can't change anything, Tianxiang smiled helplessly.

Feng Suzhen suddenly became stern again: "The state owns the state law. Dongfanghou violated the state law, so naturally he should be dealt with according to the state law. The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, no matter what the reason for his breaking the law. Even if he wanted to die, since he violated the state law , you should bear the consequences. Princess, you can let him go for a while, but you can't let him go forever. Even if he escapes severe punishment this time, how do you know that he won't get worse and make even bigger mistakes?"

Tianxiang hung her head humbly to be taught.

"What did you say tonight?" Feng Suzhen seemed to feel that she was asking recklessly, and she rounded up another sentence, "Tomorrow, the Marquis of Dongfang will be interrogated in court. I want to know first. But there are some royal secrets, I also It’s inconvenient to know, the princess doesn’t need to say anything.”

Tianxiang smiled, it was inconvenient for her to tell Feng Suzhen all the conversations between herself and Dongfang Hou. With Feng Suzhen's current mental experience, I am afraid that she still can't understand the original intention of the superior to use everything—even herself—as a dog in order to achieve the goal.

She got up from the stone bench and sat down on the shady stone steps: "It's not a big secret. The father is jealous that the thirteenth uncle is a legitimate son, and the thirteenth uncle is jealous of the father's status and power. The two looked at the brothers and friends." Brother Gong, in fact, we have been intriguing openly and secretly for so many years, that’s all.” The fake imperial palace, those fake people, and even the real Concubine Chrysanthemum in the palace are all evidence of open and covert fighting—and pawns for sacrifice.

Tianxiang said it easily, but Feng Suzhen changed color.Son?In other words, today is indeed... She pondered for a moment, and said: "In any case, the emperor is already in the right position, so there is no need to be jealous of a Marquis, it is clear that it is the Marquis of the East who has resentment and plots—" She I can't go on talking.The dignified prince was only granted the title of Marquis, but not king. It would be unreasonable to say that there was no deliberate suppression and revenge from the emperor.

"Do you know who my mother is?" Tianxiang interrupted suddenly.

Feng Suzhen asked suspiciously: "Isn't the princess's mother the former queen?"

Tianxiang shook her head: "When she was alive, people called her Concubine Yihui, even if the father chased her to be the queen before his elder brother became the prince. Even now, when the father mentions her, he still calls her Yihui concubine."

Feng Suzhen nodded her head involuntarily as she recalled the exhortations from the emperor and herself before the wedding.

Tianxiang buried her head on her knees: "At that time, I was still young, and I couldn't understand why my father was an emperor, but my mother was not a queen. I kept asking questions all day long. My mother was annoyed by my questions, but she still touched her lovingly. Rubbing my hair, she told me that when she died, she would naturally become a queen. At that time, I didn't understand, and I didn't realize until I grew up, how much my father tabooed the word "秦", so tabooed that I even envied my own. A son can have the title of 'first son'."

That's why he took the insults and saliva from the ministers, and after the death of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he did not stand up for a long time.

"In the end, I finally had a queen and a prince. But the queen who was crowned after death is not considered a serious queen, and the prince is naturally not a legitimate son. Therefore, the concubine Ju concubine will only focus on planning for her son." Since none of them are legitimate sons , so why not fight for it?

"Actually, it's nothing. Even if my brother has the word "妃" on his head, Concubine Ju will not give up. What I have always been sad about is that this is unfair to my mother..." He and his father have respected each other like husband and wife for 20 years. But she was always just a concubine, and she didn't have the name of a regular wife until her death.

Tianxiang said sadly: "When she was alive, she often said that sometimes, some people can only be perfected when they die. At that time, I didn't understand how good it is to be alive. There are so many sweet sugar cane to eat. There are so many landscapes to see... Is there any point in living if you can't enjoy yourself in time, grab what you deserve, and get it after you die?"

"later……"

Later, the mother died, the prince died, Dongfang Hou and his son died, Concubine Ju and the little prince died, the father died, Feng Suzhen died, and the elder brother died.

Every figure is drifting away.

As for herself, she was thrown into the world and spent a short life noble and lonely, and finally died, but was sent back to the year of a major turning point in her life by the unknown god.

"Actually, death is not the end of life." Feng Suzhen beside her thought for a long time before suddenly saying this.

Tianxiang laughed: "So you also believe in afterlife and retribution?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Suzhen shook her head lightly: "Those are too empty. I always feel that the end of life is forgetting."

"Forget?" Tianxiang was puzzled.

Feng Suzhen didn't accept this, and asked, "How do you know that you have lived in this world?"

"I can smell the fragrance of flowers, touch the warmth of water, hear the sound of nature, and taste—" she took a bite of the cold sugar cane, "—the taste of sugar cane in my mouth."

"There is also the gaze of others." Feng Suzhen looked at the dark red sky, which looked like the eyes of a drunken person at this time. "The gaze may be indifference, hatred, appreciation, or dependence. Almost everyone will When you experience the same gaze, you will experience the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys imposed on you by others. People may be a little tired living in it, but they will also be happy."

"Why are you still happy?" Tianxiang asked herself.

Feng Suzhen answered her: "Because of this, I will not be lonely."

She continued: "Compared with all things in nature, people are probably the most afraid of loneliness, so there will be husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and confidants, and desperately let themselves remain in the eyes of others and in the memory of others. .”

forget?memory?

She felt that she had vaguely touched Feng Suzhen's thoughts.

"Maybe in yourself, you feel that you can feel everything in this world, so you are alive. But in others, you are always in their eyes, in their memory, this is alive. If one day, you disappear, You no longer appear in front of their eyes, but you are still in their memory—then you are still alive. Therefore, some people live a lifetime just to satisfy their sensual desires, while others just want to let The self in other people's memories is a good look."

"Heretician theory," Tianxiang laughed, "you have been deeply influenced by Mrs. Wang, so you can be considered alive if you have committed many evils and passed down your notoriety to future generations."

Feng Suzhen was not annoyed, and continued to say: "When I was studying, I saw those tyrants and villains. I would remember his name, remember how many people were harmed by him, and sigh. Only when you read words like verses, will you shed tears. Princess, this is different."

Rational anger and inner touch are, after all, different.

Feng Suzhen withdrew her sharpness when she was eloquent, and sat down on the stone steps beside Tianxiang: "Some hatreds will not end because of death, and some loves will not end because of death, but will be deeper and fuller. So , although the empress has passed away, she lives in the memory of the emperor, in the hearts of you and the prince, as long as you don't forget her, she will live forever, with the most beautiful image."

Tianxiang's heart skipped a beat. After his mother died, his father valued himself and his elder brother very much because of his guilt, and especially loved him like an eyeball.In the previous life, Dongfang Hou's death not only did not extinguish Concubine Ju's love, but made her even more obsessed with that forbidden love, unable to extricate herself, and finally took the risk.And the death of Concubine Ju caused the father to collapse quickly. Although he obviously didn't care, he aged in a day.And Mei Zhu's death has made the emperor's brother never forget it for ten years, until his death.

Maybe it's because death has turned everything into regret... Tianxiang turned her head and looked at Feng Suzhen's side face, thinking that she still remembered Feng Suzhen ten years after her death, but she was just thinking about the perfect, flawless, Fengshen's handsome son-in-law.

But in fact, when I really saw her back then, she was just an ordinary person with flesh and blood, hot-headed, and temporarily confused—an ordinary person who was smart, beautiful and young.

If the self in the previous life hadn't been bewitched by this men's clothing, peeled off the perfect skin of memory, and only treated her as Feng Suzhen, would the present self still have such obsession?

Naturally, Feng Suzhen didn't know that Tianxiang was already far away, so she waved her finger in front of her eyes and asked tentatively, "Princess?"

Tianxiang came back to her senses, only saw Feng Suzhen in front of her with a clean and gentle smile on her lips, and couldn't help but mumbled, "You're really good."

Feng Suzhen smiled again.Before the big wedding, she had only met Tianxiang a few times, so she didn't know much about her. She only knew that she was a girl with a weird temper and a strange spirit, and she had a terrifying royal status.That's why I deliberately concealed it and didn't dare to tell the truth.But from Yueyue's experience, Tianxiang behaves well and is reasonable. Now that she thinks about it, as long as she tells her sincerely, she may not be furious because of her deceit.

At that time, as long as the two of them discuss an appropriate solution and try to marry Tianxiang to the person she likes, everything should be fine.

Feng Suzhen let out a sigh of relief, now that Wang Gonggong has doubted her identity, it is better to admit it herself than to wait for him to tell Tianxiang.After this matter is over, her father is safe and sound, and if Tianxiang's matter is resolved, she will be able to retire successfully and shed Feng Shaomin's skin.

As for Li Zhaoting... She waved her thoughts away, not thinking about him.

Miss a day, really miss a lifetime.

She turned her head and looked at Tianxiang who was thinking about something aside: "By the way, princess, Shaomin has something to do, I don't know if it's appropriate to ask."

"Ask." Tianxiang seemed to be still thinking about Feng Suzhen's words just now, and seemed a little absent-minded.

This is the best time to ask.

Feng Suzhen seized the opportunity and said quickly: "Who is that person you like?"

"Feng Suzhen..." Tianxiang blurted out.

A bolt of lightning crossed the dark red sky.

Tianxiang knew she had made a mistake, and looked at Feng Suzhen's face that was covered in gray by the lightning, and showed a smirk that she thought was cute: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke..."

Another bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

It rained heavily.
