Shen Gong Ji

The chariot swayed past the Taiye Pool, and I breathed into my hand, blowing out a puff of smoke.The sun has come out, the sky is as blue as washing, but the season of melting snow is much colder than snowing.

How much I want to watch pps under the covers in this weather...

I was walking in the direction of the Yuheng Pavilion, with the purpose of visiting Jieyu Xiangli who had just arrived.He is from the country of Qi, but it is said that his mother is from the country of Yan, so he is not only good at riding and shooting skills of the country of Qi, but also proficient in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the country of Yan, and is also a famous talent of the country of Qi.I originally didn't want to deal with this kind of literary youth, but Ouyang Qi asked me to meet him, so I had to.

Ouyang Qi said, to get the seat of Xiu Yuan, my biggest competitor is Xiang Li.Because Huang Xiuyuan was about to die and Xiangli was in favor, the little Emperor Baobuqi gave him the seat on impulse.

When I summed it up, he was quite right.After all, this kid surnamed Xiang was given a Jieyu title as soon as he came up. I have been working for nearly a year and I am still struggling in the position of talented person. It really makes people feel very threatened.

It's also good to know your opponent.It’s not that there is a well-known foreign sentence, keep your friends close, yournemy closer (literal translation: know your friends better, know your enemies better, and it can also be translated as knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and never ending a hundred battles...).

Yuheng Hall is located to the west of Taiye Pool, with a lotus pond under its feet.If in summer, the white lotus in the pond is in full bloom, the fragrance of Qingning will diffuse in every gap between the eaves and tiles.The red carps play leisurely under the duckweed, and the mandarin ducks sleep soundly on the water, creating a peaceful atmosphere like a hermit.And that palace is also the most simple and elegant among all the palaces, with blue tiles and white walls, but not crude.The black panes on the window sash are all carved from black sandalwood, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects are lifelike.The low-back eaves are connected between the pavilions, and the wind chimes are ringing with the breeze.

Although it is winter now, the frozen water covered by falling snow is more peaceful and quiet.We bypassed the lotus pond and came to the main entrance of Yuheng Pavilion.There were two palace servants guarding the door, if Du Ruo helped me to report my identity, one of the palace servants walked in quickly to report back.I looked at the main entrance, the bamboo archway, it looked like a hermit's garden in the mountains, it was really stylish.

Not long after, a palace attendant came out to guide me.As soon as you enter the door, there are two corridors, one on the left and one on the right, bypassing in a circular shape. In front of you is a long trestle bridge leading to the pavilion in the center of the pond.I followed the guide onto the trestle bridge, and I straightened my back unconsciously, trying to put on a little more music to pretend to be aggressive.But it's probably because I'm used to being humble, and I really can't show my momentum for a while...

Passing through the outer hall and bypassing the screen, I saw the legendary Xiang Jieyu sitting in the main hall waiting for me.With loosely tied black hair, a delicate and elegant face, and a simple blue satin gown without any decorations, it feels like a distant mountain looming in the sky, which is really different from what I have seen before. any person in the palace.

I don't know why, but I suddenly feel like I'm a head short...

It's not a good sign to surrender before fighting...

His rank is higher than mine, so I saluted him, "Yang Juntian met Xiang Jieyu."

He came over and helped me up, "Please don't be too polite, just ask me to leave."

Although he said so, his voice was faint and alienated.I had a gut feeling that he didn't welcome me.

In fact, I have heard about his inaccessibility. It is said that he hates the intrigue in this palace and is a quiet person, so he never walks with others.

After I sat down, he didn't take the initiative to speak.I just felt embarrassed for a while, so I had to find a way to find a topic, "Juntian should have come to visit Jieyu as soon as possible after he entered the palace, but he got lazy when he came to the snowman. I hope Jieyu will forgive me."

I thought he would say something polite to me, but who knew he just shook his head lightly, "No." He stopped talking.

I rely on... so pure...

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to stick my hot face to his cold ass, grinning at him, "I wonder if Jieyu is used to living in this palace?"

He glanced at me indifferently, and replied, "Fortunately, thank you Yang Cairen for your concern."

Got...was knocked back again...

With such a smelly and tough temper, how did the little emperor fall in love with him... Could it be that the little emperor is actually a masochist?The more you ignore him, the more he will rush forward?

Who would have thought that at this moment he finally took the initiative to speak, "Tairen is here this time, but what's the matter?"

I said, "Nothing, just want to visit."

But he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his smile was a little cold, even mocking, "The people in this palace have a purpose in everything they do, so talented people may as well just say what they do."

I really didn't expect this person to expose me so bluntly. This kind of thing is naturally a tacit fact, but I have never encountered such an undisguised... I was speechless for a while.

"No one in this palace is clean, sorry for my impoliteness, but I don't want to get involved in your disputes." He didn't even look at me, as if he would feel dirty if he looked at me too much, "If Yang Cairen There's nothing wrong, just go ahead."

Just such a sentence made me feel angry.

Shit, you are the most pure and noble, right?You are a white lotus that is not stained by silt, we are all cunning villains full of honey, honey, sword, and scheming, okay?

Everyone is rolling in the mud, why pretend?

Just as I was about to have an attack, I suddenly remembered my current identity and the purpose of my visit this time.How can I get confused because of his two words?

So I forcefully suppressed the anger and instead laughed again.Since he wants to be a lonely gentleman in this palace, then I might as well help him and show weakness to him first, "Xiang Jieyu, you misunderstood, Juntian didn't mean anything else, but simply admired Jieyu's talent. Since Jieyu was offended, so Juntian took his leave first."

What I said was so calm, without any anger or sarcasm, that even I was surprised.

I saluted respectfully, turned around and wanted to leave.This submissive attitude seemed to surprise him a bit. I guess he was not as obedient as I was when he treated other people like this before.

After all, those who can enter this garden are people with background and status. No one has ever been a slave, and no one has seen other people's faces. Being reprimanded by him like this, no matter how self-cultivated they are, they can't help but give him face.

But I am different. I have always belonged to the kind of foil since I was in the original world. All kinds of strong people around me finally found a job and kicked them out. Even in this world, I never A little Yu Shao in the harem, struggling to climb up step by step.I have a bit of low self-esteem and servility in my bones, so it is not difficult for me to put away all my temper and show weakness.

What's more, after Wenfeng's incident, I understand that sometimes low-key and showing weakness are necessary protection.Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Xiangli is so proud and aloof, it will be over sooner or later.

If he was my opponent, I am afraid that the seat of Xiuyuan would not be so difficult to grab.

"Young Master Yang, please stay." He said suddenly.I smiled to myself and turned to look at him.

There was some confusion in his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiang Li just went too far, Mr. Yang came here with good intentions, Xiang Li shouldn't speak ill of each other."

He is really a simple person, and he belongs to the kind who eats soft but not hard.Such a person will not live long in the palace, right?

I waved my hand at him reassuringly, "It's okay, the palace is indeed dangerous, and there is nothing wrong with you thinking so."

"Tairen is magnanimous, it's Xiangli who treats a gentleman with the heart of a villain." He took a few steps forward, and made a gesture of invitation to the chair I was sitting on just now, "Please take a seat. "

I sat back down again.I know he didn't relax his vigilance towards me, it's just that he softened his heart when he saw me retreating so much.

The palace attendant served me tea again, and I took a sip lightly, taking the opportunity to reorganize what I wanted to say in my mind.At this time, he said, "If you offended me just now, please don't blame the talented person."

I shook my head and made a gesture of generosity, "How could that be? I know you are from Qiguo. You have just arrived in this palace, surrounded by so many rules, you must be very homesick, right? It is normal for us to be a little bit repulsed. .”

When he heard it, there was a little sadness in the depths of his dark eyes, and the calm look like ink painting really had a very flavorful and connotative feeling...

"Since it is ordered by my king to bring peace to the Qi country, Xiangli has no complaints or regrets." He said quietly, with a kind of sacrifice-like nobility.

It's great...

But does he really think he can bring peace to both countries?

I suddenly found that there was no sympathy in my heart, and even a little bit of jealousy.I hate how he can still have such a naive idea, can live in his own imagination so simply.

This realization alarmed me a little.So I quickly drank another sip of tea, sighed pretendingly, and said something Uncle Jin said to me, "Those who enter this palace don't carry their own happiness on their shoulders."

These words seemed to have touched him a bit, he raised his eyes to look at me with dark eyes.

"But now that you've come in, this is the whole world for you and me." I looked into his eyes, and bent the corners of my eyes at him, "Try to live happily, or your father in Yan will miss you too." .”

He pursed his lips, nodded, and said to me after a while, "Thank you for your enlightenment."

"Thank you? From now on, everyone will support and take care of each other, and live well. In fact, this palace is not as bad as you think."

I "educated" him with the attitude of someone who had experienced it, and then started talking about his home in Qiguo.It turned out that he was the son of an official of the Qi Kingdom. He was raised as a young master since he was a child. He only dealt with some elegant poets and wits every day. He never thought that he would enter such a filthy place like the imperial palace.

I looked into his clean eyes, but suddenly I had a strong urge to run away.

It's very easy for him to believe me, but the reflection of me in those eyes has really become a little unknown to me.

The little emperor suddenly came to the Fuyao Hall, and I went outside the hall to greet him as usual.

It has been gone for many days, but I am still faintly excited when I look at the red figure that gradually clears up from the night.I tried my best to suppress it, and knelt down to salute him.

He also helped me up as usual, with warmth in his affectionate eyes, "Juntian, you've lost weight again."

"Your Majesty was joking, I eat and drink every day, and I gained a lot of weight."

"I didn't see it."

"By the time you see it, it will be too late..."

There was nothing to say while talking about this, but I kept looking at him, trying to find out the slightest change in him.But he is still the same as before, as gentle as if we met yesterday.

I began to wonder, what is his real thought about me under this gentle mask?Do you like it or despise it?Or does it not exist at all, just a faint shadow without a specific image?

At night, it was still a lively affair.I admit that this kid has good skills, and he can make people forget every time.At that moment, I almost forgot my own name, and I could only see him alone, as if the whole world was illusory and only he was real.

But after the extreme, there is only a bottomless pit of emptiness left.I lay in the dark, feeling his arm around my waist, the intimate touch, but it couldn't give people the illusion of warmth.

"I heard you went to the Yuheng Pavilion?" In the darkness, he suddenly asked softly.

My heart skipped a beat, and I was inexplicably flustered, "Ah... I went and looked at Jieyu."

"What do you want to see him for?" It seemed to be a casual, even sleepy question, but it made me sleepy.

"He's Jieyu, I should have visited a long time ago. The snow has been falling for the past few days, so it's delayed..."

"Hmm..." This answer was faintly visible, which made me feel even more anxious.

I told myself to be calm, and I didn't do anything wrong, so I was nervous, "If you don't want me to go, I won't go."

He didn't answer for a long time, I almost thought he had fallen asleep, waited anxiously for a while, just about to relax, but I heard him lazily talking in sleep, "You can go and accompany him."

I opened my eyes wide in the dark, listening to his shallow breathing on my back.

Is he fast asleep?Hearing the rhythm of his breath, he must have fallen asleep.

But I didn't know why, and there was a vague pain somewhere in my chest, as if I had been stabbed a few times, and I didn't know what I was suffering from.

Is he guarding me?What am I supposed to do to his new love?

However, it doesn't matter what he thinks. I'm leaving anyway, so I don't care.

On the contrary, the more important he is, the more I want to ruin it.

I want him to taste the taste of helplessness and despair.I want him to understand that some things cannot be repaired casually.
