"Empress..." Guo Ziqing ran in shouting and saw Jian Xiao squatting near the grass, playing with the gray grass with a stick. Seeing Guo Ziqing running over in a hurry, Jian Xiao stood up and asked, "What's going on?
"
Seeing that Jian Xiao was fine, Guo Ziqing took a deep breath and said, "I was scared to death. I thought..."
"Think I've been framed?" Jian Xiao laughed, "I'm not that easy to be killed! By the way, I'm not telling you, don't call me empress in the future, just call me Jian Xiao!"
Guo Ziqing shook his head. Calling him "Empress" can help him contain his thoughts. What would happen if he were replaced by "Jian Xiao"? "I'm used to it," Guo Ziqing said. "There are too many mosquitoes? I'll bring you a tent."
, and some changes of clothes.”
"This is too troublesome for you. Wan Yun should have been the one to worry about this," Jian Xiao said sheepishly, "It's hard for you to be so careful."
"It's nothing. Wanyun can only come and see you during the meal. I'm more free." Guo Ziqing couldn't help but blush when he heard Jian Xiao praising him like this.
He suddenly remembered the person he met just now, "By the way, what is Gao Shangshu doing here?"
It turns out that he is already a minister, and he can't complain about being able to come and go freely. Hum, this is good. A wry smile appeared on Jian Xiao's face, Jian Xiao, Jian Xiao, how many people are you going to offend?
"Nothing!" Jian Xiao looked at the clothes Guo Ziqing brought for her. Many of them looked quite luxurious, "This dress is so beautiful? Where did you get it?"
Guo Ziqing heard Jian Xiao change the subject and knew that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't continue to ask, "This belongs to the second princess. If she doesn't wear it, she can leave it alone."
"How is this good?" Jian Xiao frowned
"It's okay, she picked these all. After finishing the emperor's birthday in a few days, she will come to see you. During this time, you have to stay here for a few days." Guo Ziqing helped Jian Xiao hang up the tent.
Looking at Guo Ziqing who was busy taking care of herself, Jian Xiao was very grateful. At that time on the battlefield, it was Guo Ziqing who took care of him without any hesitation, and now he is like this
"Thank you! Ziqing!"
Guo Ziqing stopped what he was doing and looked back at Jian Xiao, his eyes filled with tears. He smiled naively, "It should be, it should be! By the way, there is something for you!" Guo Ziqing clapped his hands, and a soldier
Walking in, carrying a big package behind me
"I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I brought your piano over here!"
Jian Xiao opened the bag, and a layer of dust fell on the strings of her Yao Qin. Jian Xiao gently touched it with her hand and made scattered sounds, "I should play you a good song!"
Before Guo Ziqing could answer, he saw a soldier running in and whispered to Guo Ziqing several times. Guo Ziqing's originally relaxed brows suddenly furrowed, "Is the information accurate?"
The soldier nodded, and Guo Ziqing pondered for a moment, "Madam, I have something to do and I have to leave and come back to listen to the piano another day."
The weather in summer is moody. The sky is still clear during the day, but at night it starts to become dark and cloudy, and the wind blows violently. Before anyone can react, it rains heavily. The raindrops patter on the banana leaves outside Leng Palace.
The ancients liked the sound of rain. Jian Xiao has always felt strange. What's so good about this monotonous sound? "Leaving the lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain" is nothing more than the sentiment of the ancients. However, only after arriving here did Jian Xiao realize that the so-called sound of nature is the sound of nature.
The dark rainy night blocks your sense of sight and touch, and hearing is your only contact with the outside world. At this time, the sound of raindrops is refreshing, like a natural symphony.
Jian Xiao suddenly became interested, and set up the Yao Qin, wanting to harmonize with the nature. She plucked the strings, and the sound of the Qin turned into a breeze, blowing in the rain, carrying the frivolity and joy of the raindrops. The wind also carried the raindrops.
Floating further away...
Suddenly an uninvited guest came in the wind and rain. Like the land, it accepted the infiltration of raindrops and allowed the breeze to pass by. It tolerated everything, watching the play of wind and rain like a spectator. Sometimes it looked like a majestic venerable,
Sometimes like a naughty child
Jian Xiao's strings were plucked faster and faster, like a strong wind that was about to sweep everything away, but the earth did not stir up a trace of dust because of her.
Jian Xiao suddenly stopped plucking the strings, but the flute sound came slowly and leisurely, and disappeared, "Why don't you play it anymore?"
"Your Majesty came to visit on a rainy night. Are you feeling better?" Jian Xiao knew that no one in the harem could play such a good flute.
Zhang Qin was wearing a raincoat, dripping rain all over his body, and the jade pendant on the side of his flute was also dripping. He walked into this simple room, took off his bamboo hat, and stood it dripping on the side, "It's really cool here.
!”
Jian Xiao laughed jokingly, "Jian Xiao, there is no good tea or hot water to serve here. I hope your majesty will forgive me!" She lit the candle with a fire stick. It had been a long time since Zhang Qin had seen him, and his body seemed to have recovered a lot.
Zhang Qin shook his head, "How long has it been since I harmonized with you like this?"
"It's been a long time..."
"I really regret bringing you into the harem. If not, you wouldn't have to suffer such a sin." Zhang Qin looked at the simple room with four walls and sighed in his heart.
Jian Xiao found a clean piece of clothing and spread it on the bed. She motioned to Zhang Qin to sit down. Zhang Qin looked at the thin Jian Xiao and asked, "I've wanted to come see you for a long time, but everyone doesn't allow me as an emperor to do that sometimes."
Don’t be so arrogant that I’m here to give you something this time!”
A small dagger appeared in Zhang Qin's palm. This dagger was exactly the one Jian Xiao stabbed into his chest.
Jian Xiao didn't dare to answer, "Your Majesty, is this...?"
"Take it!" Zhang Qin said, "Although I am confused, I also know that there must be something fishy about what happened that day. It's just that I don't know now and others are unwilling to investigate."
"What about your wounds?"
"Okay! The stab wasn't deep at first." Zhang Qin looked at Jian Xiao, "I'm sorry for you!"
Jian Xiao took the dagger, put it on one side, and talked to Zhang Qin, "Where does your majesty start with these words?"
"You have repeatedly hinted to me that you have a crush on me, and I know it, but I just can't let go of you. I can't let go of you. I am a dignified king of a country, but I am not even as good as a barbarian general..."
"Your Majesty," Jian Xiao interrupted, "you can't say that. You have the world, and there are three thousand beauties in your harem. Which one of them is not following you wholeheartedly? Just like the koi carps in the back garden, they are all beautiful, but I am just a mountain spring.
A small fish among them would be out of place and unsociable."
"Yes, that koi carp wants to swallow you, a little fish," Zhang Qin said, "I only did it for myself, but I almost lost you!"
Jian Xiao didn't say anything else. She couldn't guess the meaning of Zhang Qin's trip.
"Jian Xiao, I ask you again for the last time, will you fall in love with me? It's not the emperor, it's just Zhang Qin." Zhang Qin looked into Jian Xiao's eyes affectionately, with clear eyes.
