Difficulty in deciphering

For the next month or so, except for necessary matters to be dealt with, Lin Jieyu will mostly stay in Tianniao Pavilion.She didn't like to see the ladies in front of the Hall of All Souls, and she didn't like those red dowries and buildings that looked like flames.She thought, she should be white, pure white from the inside out.If one day she had to wear red makeup...it must be...

It must be the time to marry Lin Huiye.

Of course, those were just a dream.

dream...

She, Lin Jieyu, has had this dream for more than ten years, and now, finally... it's time to wake up...

Apart from discussing necessary matters, Minister of Rites Pan Shuo didn't see Lin Jieyu much.But he had to admit that among the women he knew who needed to make peace with foreigners in history, only this person was the most calm and indifferent.She is not gloomy all day long like those women, on the contrary, she always seems to be bathed in sunshine.

Seeing that the day of marriage is approaching, not only is she not impatient, she even shows a smile occasionally.

Lin Jieyu rarely smiled when he was an official, but now he bumped into him twice.

Such abnormal behavior always made Pan Shuo think that this woman was looking forward to a kiss.But looking back and thinking about the person she kissed... Pan Shuo felt that his thought...was wrong.But if it's wrong...then why did this indescribable phenomenon...came?

"Master Xie...ah no...Princess Shaoli..." Realizing that Lin Xie was distracted again, Pan Shuo tried to call her, but found that he couldn't change the familiar title. "Princess Shaoli?"

"Huh?" After being called twice in a row, Lin Jieyu came back to his senses, his eyes reflecting the gentle color of the sun.

"You will be leaving the day after tomorrow. If there is anything you need to do, just let me know. The subordinates will definitely handle it properly." Pan Shuo said.

"It's nothing." Lin Jieyu said.

"Then... if you think of anything else, the princess can just send someone to find the lower official. The lower official will go first..."

"Wait." Seeing that Pan Shuo was about to leave, Lin Jieyu stopped him.

"What else is there for the princess?"

Lin Jieyu never asked for anything, but this "wait" really made Pan Shuo wait for a long time.Pan Shuo saw Lin Jieyu looking over seriously, and asked cautiously.

"The capital... is there any interesting place?"

"The capital city...there is nothing good about the capital city except for the large number of people." Pan Shuo thought for a long time, and found that the capital city did not leave much impression on him except for the bustling crowd. "If you want to talk about fun, there are a few places with good scenery in various states."

"Is it."

"Why is Mr. Xie interested in the capital? Have you never been out before?" Seeing Lin Jieyu's gloomy expression, Pan Shuo asked.

"Go out." Lin Jieyu said. "It's just... I haven't paid attention to those scenery."

"It can only be said that Mr. Xie is a rare talent who acts impartially." Pan Shuo complimented with a smile.

"Your Majesty...would you like talents?" Hearing Pan Shuo's compliment, Lin Jieyu also laughed.

"I like it! How can you not like it? Since ancient times, Mingjun has loved talents more." Pan Shuo said. "Your Majesty loves and values ​​Mr. Xie, and everyone can see it."

The room became extremely quiet because of Pan Shuo's words. He only felt a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, but he couldn't figure out what he said wrong.When he was confused, Lin Jieyu suddenly spoke, and he heard her murmuring.

"If you don't have anything interesting to do, you can just... take a walk on the street."

"Master Xie is leaving the palace tomorrow?" Pan Shuo asked.

He thought to himself... This Lin Jieyu will marry far away the day after tomorrow, but he will leave the palace tomorrow, this...

However, Lin Jieyu didn't care what he thought, he just smiled happily and said.

"Well. It's done."

By the time Lin Jieyu opened her eyes again, it was already the morning of the second day. Although it was still daylight, she didn't even feel sleepy at all.Lin Jieyu jumped off the rope hanging from the top of Tianniao Pavilion, stretched his limbs, and went to the spring to wash.She picked up the spring to wash her face while waiting for Lin Huiye's arrival.

At noon, the weather was hot and sunny. Lin Jieyu was dressed in white and sat on the top of Tianniao Pavilion looking at the end of the bamboo forest, but no one came.

Lin Jieyu didn't know how long she had been sitting on the Tianniao Pavilion, she only felt that the sky was getting dark, but Lin Huiye didn't come.

"Master." Xiaozhu, who was originally staying in the Hall of All Souls, ran all the way to Tianniao Pavilion, and saw Lin Jieyu sitting in the attic intact, so he called her.

Lin Jieyu should not.

Xiaozhu continued.

"Master... are you... waiting for Your Majesty?"

Lin Jieyu still shouldn't.

"But... His Majesty probably won't be here today... She is accompanying Li Shi and Lu Qingfeng to visit the Imperial Garden... In the evening, she will have a banquet for the envoy of Ningsha..." Xiao Zhuyue said more and more confidently.She was afraid that Lin Jieyu would be sad, but she was even more afraid that Lin Jieyu would just wait like this.

"She will come." After a while, Lin Jieyu said.

"master……"

"You are not joking." Lin Jieyu said again. "She promised me."

Hearing what Lin Jieyu said, Xiao Zhu couldn't say anything more, but just waited on the sidelines.For some reason, Xiao Zhu felt that Lin Jieyu's last two sentences were not addressed to him.She was just... talking to herself.

The sky soon turned red, and the setting sun shone on Tianniao Pavilion as if it was stained with blood.Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Xiao Zhu stepped back, but Lin Jieyu was still sitting there motionless.She still wanted to go and watch for Lin Jieyu again... to see what that His Majesty was doing.

After Xiaozhu left, the Tianniao Pavilion became so quiet that even the sound of the wind had stopped.All the birds in the sky landed quietly on the eaves of Tianniao Pavilion, as if they were waiting with Lin Jieyu together.

Waiting...waiting for the one who doesn't keep the promise...

At night, it rained heavily under Heavenly Bird.Lin Jieyu was fascinated by the misty heavy rain, and this look lasted most of the night.When the rain reached its peak, Lin Jieyu finally stood up, and she didn't know how she got down from Tianniao Pavilion.She only felt that her mind was blank, and there was nothing left except for the sound of pattering rain.

Lin Jieyu was walking like this, but suddenly heard a voice saying.

"Where are you going."

"Anywhere is fine." Lin Jieyu replied.

"Then come with me, okay?" the man asked again.

This time Lin Jieyu didn't answer, but just kept walking.

"Do you know what kind of place Ningsha Country is? Are you really going?! Go to a desolate country, marry a fool, and never set foot on the land of Panchao again. It doesn't matter if you just live like this for the rest of your life! "

"I don't know what kind of place Ningsha Country is." Lin Jieyu stopped and said quietly. "All I know is that Kaguya wants me to go."

"Don't go." Seeing that Lin Jieyu was about to leave, Zhao Minghe stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Let go." Lin Jieyu said.

"Don't let it go."

"I let you go!"

"But Minghe won't let you go!" Seeing that he was about to lose his grip on Lin Jieyu, Zhao Minghe suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. "You also need to know... Minghe won't let you go! Minghe won't let you go to such a place! Unless... unless Minghe is with you."

Lin Jieyu didn't know where this sudden sadness came from.

She only knew that the turbulent surge of sadness could not be stopped.The grievances that had been suppressed for these days broke out at that moment, she grabbed Zhao Minghe's sleeve fiercely, and burst into tears amidst the sound of the rain that was getting louder.

"Don't cry." Feeling that his arms were wet, Zhao Minghe patted Lin Jieyu's back lightly, and said softly. "With Minghe here, you won't go anywhere."
