One night, I don’t know why, but I suddenly remembered a sentence that I saw a long time ago, as if I had seen it in my previous life: The beauty of the world is the fight of life, which awes people. The fight of the women in the harem is the most gorgeous thing that has ever happened in this world.
The most magnificent place is the palace of the emperor, the largest person in this era, and the place closest to the emperor.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to me and Brother Sima if I had not entered the palace. After entering the palace, I would naturally not be as ignorant as before, and I would still wonder who Brother Sima was. When I enter the palace, everyone will
He Yunying reminded me again and again that the man named Sima Rui is the current Holy Emperor. My ignorance of history finally gradually penetrated the layers of clouds and became clear and clear.
The surname of the Eastern Jin Dynasty royal family is Sima. So Brother Sima must also be a member of the royal family. I guess Yun Ying has known about it for a long time, but for some reason, he never told me. From Brother Sima, that kind of innate
With his majestic temperament, he must be a prince or something. When will Yun Ying go find out if there is a handsome and courageous prince like Brother Sima? Haha, in that case, I can ask him to help me.
Think of a way to get me out of the palace, it's so boring here.
I also have to listen to all kinds of scandals about the fight for favor between beautiful girls and concubines every day. Today Wang Jieyu deliberately ran to dance in the imperial garden again, and was accidentally seen by the emperor who just passed by. That night the emperor turned over her sign
; There was a beauty from an ordinary family who actually tied a swing near the white flower forest where the emperor was most often seen, and swung there sweetly in the scorching sun. The emperor who was passing by heard her and praised her voice like a lark.
, I personally picked her up and turned over her cards that night... There are all kinds of tricks and methods. These women are really... Is this the tragedy of women in this era? They are dependent on men. Men are heaven and earth.
is the only god.
After several days of hard work, I finally completed this month's task. I had already asked Xiao Qi to find someone who was walking around the palace. However, I still haven't told him the truth about being a woman. I didn't mean to hide it from him, it's just that
Before I told him, he simply thought that I would be working in the palace for a period of time, and I thought that with his intelligence, it was impossible not to doubt him, but his unconditional trust in me was a sign of trust in a person.
Due to the respect of the master, I know that even if he has doubts in his heart, he will not investigate. This is Xiao Qi who has been following me. I regard him as a family member.
I felt inexplicably irritable. While Yunying was taking a nap and Xiao Quanzi was out looking for friends to have fun, I went out for a walk. Of course, I went to remote and inconspicuous places. I didn't want to meet Wang, who was being favored now.
Dieyi and Huan Shuangshuang are not afraid of their cynicism and ridicule, but they want to avoid unnecessary trouble. What's more, they just provoked an unknown financial backer. I don't believe that after what happened last time, he will
He will let me go. So for the sake of my own safety, I should keep a low profile as long as I can.
I turned left and right and walked for a long time. Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar scenery and increasingly desolate buildings, I understood something. I am obsessed with the road. I gave a forced smile and tried to walk back resignedly.
Even if you find a eunuch and a maid, you can ask for directions. But the surroundings are extremely quiet, and there is not a soul in sight.
Just when I was thinking about what to do, I suddenly heard a pleasant flute sound not far away. It was quiet and profound. It was even better than the sound I played when Brother Sima and I broke through the barrier together that day. I couldn't help but forget that I was lost now.
Follow the sound of the flute to find its source.
As I walked, I came to the door of a strange house. The reason why it was strange was that in a place like the palace, how could there be a house that was the same as an ordinary people's house? I opened the door in confusion and saw it from a distance.
Next to a patio, there was a lonely man standing there with his back to me. The faint sound of flute jumped out from his mouth and between his fingers, confusing me who was lost.
I stood there blankly for a long, long time, so long that my own thoughts were in a trance. His back became a little blurry and ethereal in my sight. He was really a fairy-like figure, but it was a pity that the sad atmosphere in the flute sound was too
Too strong. However, this is normal. Nine out of ten men in this era will end up depressed because of their talent but not their ambition.
Presumably, he must have had no choice but to live alone in such a remote and quiet place.
While he was thinking wildly, the sound of his flute suddenly stopped, and he turned around suddenly. When he saw me appearing here inexplicably, he was startled, and then said coldly: "Who are you? Who allowed you to
Come into my house?"
Another ice man, but the melancholic dark blue in his eyes that he just turned around couldn't fool me. They are all people with cold appearance and fragile heart. Why are there so many hedgehogs everywhere here? Ever since I came here.
In this era, two-thirds of the men we meet have this kind of virtue. It’s really——
I automatically ignored the rudeness in his tone and looked around at this pretty nice yard. Although it was monotonous without any flowers and plants, it was at least very clean.
Sensing his growing anger, I smiled sweetly at him and praised him: "Your flute is so good that it attracted a lost girl like me to come here. Haha." I continued to smile and said: "This courtyard
Great, do you live here alone?"
"By the way," I continued without waiting for his response: "I'm Xie Weiying. What about you, what's your name? That's weird, why are you here?"
Seeing that he had a stunned look on his face, it seemed that he was confused by the series of questions I asked him all at once.
Before he came back to his senses, I walked into his house unceremoniously. I saw that the inside was the same as the outside, monotonous, but very clean. The room was full of books, and I picked up one at random to read, "
"University". Looking at other books, they are all books by sages. I think he is really a scholar. After looking around, I finally found a book I know, Sun Bin's "The Art of War * Thirty-Six Strategies". Anyway, I have free time.
It's boring to wear. Why not borrow it from him and take a look.
"What are you doing?!" roared, and without raising his head, he knew it was that man.
He strode over with an unkind expression, took the book from my hand, and put it back in its place. Then he turned around and said seriously: "Girl, I don't know who you are, but please respect yourself and don't trespass on strangers."
A man's room is not what a good girl would do."
Instead of being angry, I smiled. What a pedantic scholar, and he was talking about the ancient principles of three obediences and four virtues.
"Can you lend me that book and give it back to you after reading it?" I asked casually.
He turned around and looked at me like he was looking at a strange creature. I touched my face. Is there dirt on my face?
After a long while, he said: "Do you read books like this?" His tone was full of doubts.
I smiled disdainfully, "I have read this kind of book when I was very young, but now it's just too boring. You only have poems and scriptures here, so I have to read it again."
He still didn't believe it. Actually, I wasn't lying. I did watch it when I was very young in modern times, not counting in ancient times.
I looked at him funny, "Why, don't you believe it? Do you want me to recite it to you?"
As he spoke, he began to memorize: "Thirty-six strategies are divided into six sets. The first set is a victory strategy. The first strategy is to hide from the sky and cross the sea, the second strategy is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, the third strategy is to kill someone with a borrowed knife, the fourth strategy is to wait for work, the fifth strategy is to rob the enemy, and the third strategy is to take advantage of the situation.
The sixth plan is to attack the enemy from the east to the west. The second plan is the enemy's war plan. It includes the seventh plan to create something out of thin air, the eighth plan to sneak into Chencang, the ninth plan to watch the fire from the other side... The third set of attack plan includes the 13th plan to alert the enemy... and the fourth set of melee plans.
Including the 19th plan to draw firepower from under the cauldron... The fifth plan to join forces. It includes the 25th plan to steal and change the pillars... The last set of defeat plans. Including the 31st honey trap... Okay, here's the last plan.
As the saying goes, the best strategy is to take thirty-six strategies. Haha."
My mouth was a little dry, so it took me half an hour to memorize it. Alas, my memory is not as good as before. In fact, I haven't consolidated it for a long time. I was thinking about it while memorizing it, and the speed was very slow. I ignored his stunned look.
Why am I reciting it so hard? It’s not like I’m idle. I want to prove to this pedantic scholar that we women are not to be underestimated. We are also very strong. However, this has no real meaning, I know.
So I also know how childish and stupid my angry behavior just now was!
Looking at him again, he still had a dumb look on his face. I walked over and waved my hand in front of his eyes, but there was no response. I waved again, but there was still no response. I slapped him on the shoulder rudely and said: "
Hey, brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Then he pointed at himself and said, "Aren't you scared to death by me?" What's so surprising about this? I don't understand.
He came back to his senses and said sadly: "I'm fine. When I saw the girl just now, I couldn't help but think of a person and a past event."
I joked: "Is she the woman you like?"
His face turned red instantly and he stammered: "Girl, don't talk nonsense, I, I -"
"Okay, after talking for a long time, you haven't told me your name yet?" I urged, "You can't be so stingy that you don't even dare to tell me your name. I'm going to leave right away. A grown man is coquettish.
What's it like?"
Seeing that I had said this, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm Li Jiu."
I was stunned, wait, why is this name so familiar? Li Jiu, Li Jiu, where have I heard it before? Just when I was about to give up and ask the way back, a clever idea came to my mind, Li Jiu, it’s him!
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Isn't Li Jiu the new top scholar who arrogantly provoked the talented girl Mu Wanyan in Yichun Garden? I heard that he has disappeared, why did he stay in a corner of the palace? I remember that day
When I was in Yichun Garden, listening to those people gossiping, I still thought in my mind that this name was a bit weird.
I stopped laughing and suddenly said in a disapproving tone: "Mr. Li, I have admired her for a long time. I wonder if Mr. Li knows the talented girl Mu Wan Yanmu?"
