The night in early autumn was a bit cool, and the night wind blew in through the windows, causing the curtains to sway.
"I've cried before."
Prince Jin'an said, patting the person in his arms.
"Who do you think you are crying in front of?"
No one asked him.
The Prince of Jin'an County did not expect anyone to ask, so he continued to speak.
"Mr. Li," he said, laughing as he spoke, his chest shaking and his body shaking slightly, "I almost scared him to death."
After laughing for a moment, he calmed down again and continued to gently pat the person in his arms.
"Having someone who can make you lose your temper and cry is a kind of happiness."
The one in his arms let out a soft hum.
When it reached the ears of the King of Jin'an County, it was like thunder.
"Yes, yes." He lowered his head and said with a smile, "Although we are all miserable, we are not unhappy. There is also joy in suffering."
He lowered his head and felt the softness. He couldn't help but rub it with his chin, and then quickly moved away.
The person in his arms did not move.
"It's really tragic." A muffled female voice came from in front of him, with a bit of astringency, "I didn't expect that it was wrong. I did so many things and it was all wrong."
"It's good to know that you are wrong." Prince Jin'an said with a smile, "Some people never know that they are wrong."
As he spoke, he carefully lowered his chin and gently rubbed the head of the person in his arms.
The person who had just reached Hair's arms suddenly moved.
The prince of Jin'an County hurriedly raised his head, his heart beating loudly.
Fortunately, fortunately, I was not kicked out of bed.
The man in his arms raised his head.
"They will indeed never know." Cheng Jiaoniang said, her voice choked with sobs.
Never know.
They are all dead.
Will never know.
The prince of Jin'an County hurriedly reached out to touch her face and wiped away the tears on her face.
"But you know it, luckily you know it, and you know it." He said hurriedly.
Yes, I know. Fortunately, I know. My father asked me to ask. Now I have asked and I know.
Cheng Jiaoniang burst into tears and buried her head in front of King Jin'an again and hugged him.
The joy in King Jin'an's heart had long since dissipated, and he reached out and hugged her tightly.
Don't cry, don't cry. I'd rather see you expressionless, I'd rather you be indifferent than see you so sad.
What kind of heartache makes a person who doesn't express his joy and sorrow shed tears like this.
"Cheng Fang." He felt his throat was sore, hugged her tightly, and patted her shoulders and back with his hands, "Don't be sad."
Cheng Fang, don't be sad.
Prince Jin'an didn't know when he fell asleep. He reached out his hand to touch in a daze and suddenly woke up. His pillow was empty and his arms were empty. What happened last night seemed like a dream...
He hurriedly sat up and looked down to see the wrinkled clothes on his chest, with some moisture still remaining on them.
Not a dream!
A smile broke out on Prince Jin'an's face.
"Your Highness."
Hearing the commotion, Eunuch Jing from outside hurriedly walked in. He looked at Prince Jin'an who was sitting beside the bed with the curtain raised, and his eyes fell in front of him.
The crumpled and twisted obscene clothes are no longer considered to be worn on the body, they can only be said to be hanging on the body, exposing half of the chest.
Then look at Jin'an County Prince raising his hand to half cover his mouth and yawning.
"Where's Madam?" he asked tiredly.
Where's the lady...
Eunuch Jing curled his lips and looked into the blue eyes of Prince Jin'an.
"Madam has gone to practice archery," he said.
His daily routine and exercise returned to normal, which meant he was somewhat better. Prince Jin'an breathed a sigh of relief and got up to clean the room.
"I also need to practice." He said, "Ask Dr. Li if I can ride a horse and shoot arrows."
"That's not urgent." Eunuch Jing hurriedly followed and muttered, "The important thing is to be more moderate. After all, Your Highness is the best. You can't rely on your youth."
"What is more restrained?" Prince Jin'an frowned and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"
Before Eunuch Jing could answer, he thought of something else.
"What happened in the capital yesterday?"
As the selection of the Crown Princess was decided, the court hall in the capital was in an uproar.
Eunuch Jin was busy doing plastic surgery and went into the clean room to answer in a low voice.
When Cheng Jiaoniang came back, Prince Jin'an had already walked around the yard.
In the morning light, the woman still wore a blouse with high temples, and her sweaty face looked a little energetic. Her expression returned to calmness, and when she glanced at the King of Jin'an County, she just nodded slightly.
Prince Jin'an was a little startled, as if the woman who was crying in his arms last night was his phantom.
"Let's set the food first, I'll go wash up and come back," she said.
It’s different.
Prince Jin'an smiled.
This sentence did not exist yesterday.
"Put the food on the table," he said.
The people in the courtyard responded. I don't know if it was the illusion of Prince Jin'an. I just felt that the movements of the maids were a bit joyful. However, when the food was set and Cheng Jiaoniang just sat down, Su Xin came in in a hurry.
.
"Madam, Manager Cao said that Cheng Ping is missing," she said.
Missing?
The prince of Jin'an County looked surprised.
Yesterday, both Guanshi Cao and Cheng Ping rested at the Prince's Mansion. How could such good people disappear?
Su Xin's expression was a little embarrassed.
"Did he run away?" Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Yes, just now Manager Cao asked someone to tell him, the exact words he said was that this bastard kid ran away again.
But it would be too embarrassing to say this.
"Guanshi Cao has already gone to find him," Su Xin said in an evasive and subtle way.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled.
"It's not that easy to find him," she said, putting down the dishes and standing up.
Banqin and Suxin reacted immediately and hurriedly followed the action.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped.
"I'll go find him." She said, looking at Prince Jin'an.
Prince Jin'an stood up with a plate of rice cakes.
"I didn't eat last night. Let's take a few bites first and let everyone in the house look for them." He said, picking up a piece and bringing it over.
The maids in the room hurriedly bowed their heads.
Cheng Jiaoniang opened her mouth to answer, raising her sleeves to cover her mouth as she spoke.
"Others can't. If he wants to hide, not many people can find him." She said as she walked inside.
Banqin and Suxin hurriedly followed to wait for the dressing, and Prince Jin'an also followed with a plate.
"He is so powerful." He said with a smile.
Cheng Jiaoniang swallowed the rice cake in her mouth and nodded, then spread her arms and Banqin put on a robe.
The prince of Jin'an County handed over another piece.
Suxin knelt down and straightened her clothes, while Banqin lowered herself and put on her belt.
"Take a sip of tea."
Looking at Cheng Jiaoniang who had put on her clothes and walked out quickly, Prince Jin'an took the tea from the maid's hand and stopped her.
Cheng Jiaoniang reached out and took it, drank it in one gulp, and handed it to him.
The prince of Jin'an County caught it with one hand and brought another piece of rice cake over with the other hand. Cheng Jiaoniang ate it in one bite and walked out quickly.
Eunuch Jing stood in the hall and watched this scene from beginning to end, dumbfounded.
……………………………………………
Outside the West City Gate, Manager Cao chased her on horseback in a fit of rage, looking at Cheng Jiaoniang who was riding sideways and wearing a hooded cloak covering her face.
"I ran very early, so the city gates must not have been opened yet. As soon as I found out, I sent people to guard the four city gates, but I didn't see them. This kid must be hiding in the city," he said.
"No, he has already left the city." Cheng Jiaoniang said, looking up to the outside of the city and urging her horse forward without hesitation.
Manager Cao and others hurriedly followed him.
This team, headed by a woman, attracted the attention of people on the road.
"Look, over there."
Not far after running out, Manager Cao shouted suddenly, pointing at the person walking wandering on the road in front of him.
The sound of horse hooves behind him also made the people walking in front turn around and run away immediately.
Two legs are not as good as four, and he was quickly overtaken and surrounded.
"You bastard, why are you running!" Manager Cao jumped off his horse and grabbed Cheng Ping and shouted, "You want to run halfway, but you run at this time without looking where you are. You are asking my wife
Shameless!"
"I didn't run away, I didn't run away." Cheng Ping shouted while hiding, "Didn't I agree that I could do whatever I wanted after entering Beijing?"
"Aren't you too damn casual?" Manager Cao shouted with a glare.
The two of them pulled Cheng Jiaoniang off her horse and stopped on the roadside. Manager Cao resisted the urge to beat the boy and grabbed him over.
"Princess." Cheng Ping saluted with a calm face and straightened the skirt of his clothes that had been pulled askew by Manager Cao.
"Are you leaving?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, with a bit of reluctance.
Cheng Ping laughed twice, his expression flashing.
"How did you know I was on this road?" He asked suddenly without answering.
Yes, why did the lady come straight here after leaving the house? She even asked someone to call her back.
Manager Cao said in his heart.
"Of course my wife knows." But he still hummed.
Cheng Jiaoniang stretched out her hand and spread it in front of Cheng Ping.
"This." she said.
People nearby couldn't help but look and saw three big coins in her hand.
This is?
Manager Cao was a little startled.
Cheng Ping smiled and looked up at Cheng Jiaoniang.
"My lady is indeed of my generation," he said.
As soon as the words came out, he saw tears welling up in the woman's eyes again. Cheng Ping couldn't help but retreat subconsciously, but this time the woman did not lose her temper and cry, but bowed her head and saluted.
There were two tears on the ground that were instantly annihilated.
"Then you don't have to ask me why I'm leaving, right?" Cheng Ping said with a smile.
Why?
Manager Cao continued to be stunned.
It is said that because he is weird, the wife is weird, so whenever they meet, they are both weird. They understand every word of what they say, but they just can't understand them together.
Cheng Jiaoniang raised her head with a bit of excitement.
"Did you see it too?" she said, "then do you think he..."
Cheng Ping raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Madam," he said with a bit of solemnity, pointing to the three large coins in Cheng Jiaoniang's hand, "Since we are of the same kind, you won't forget the don't ask, don't tell rule, right?"
Seeking hexagrams, asking fortunes, and predicting good or bad luck are things that the parties involved do not ask or tell.
"Besides, I didn't give any money." Cheng Ping said with his hands again.
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled, her eyes sparkling with tears.
"Yes." She said with a salute, then stood up and looked up at him, "But why are you leaving? You came to the capital for him, right?"
The current emperor Zhongzong died next year and a new emperor ascended the throne. It was from then on that Cheng Ping began to become famous, and he became famous for his divination for the new emperor.
Now that the new emperor King Ping, who asked Cheng Ping to perform divination in history, has died, Cheng Ping still came to the capital and saw...
Why did you leave? You shouldn't have stayed, or asked a question, and then become famous...
"I'm not doing it for him." Cheng Ping smiled, "How could I do it for him? I have more than enough, not lack, so why should I come to him?"
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him.
"Those who benefit my goods will harm my spirit, and those who give birth to my name will kill my body," she said.
Cheng Ping's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand.
"Okay, okay, okay." He said three good words in a row, "Madam, you are indeed of the same mind."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled, raised her sleeves to cover her face and wiped away the tears from her eyes.
This is what the ancestor said to King Ping who showed his identity, and refused King Ping to allow him to become an official. Unexpectedly, he would say it himself on such an occasion today.
"What's more, I have a wife." Cheng Ping looked at her and smiled again, and said with some meaning, "I don't have to be here anymore."
Cheng Jiaoniang was startled.
"Then I'll take my leave." Cheng Ping saluted and said.
Cheng Jiaoniang avoided his salute and hurriedly returned the salute while taking another step forward.
"Where are you going?" she asked urgently, "Going back to Jiangzhou?"
"Yes, let's go back to Jiangzhou. Oh, by the way, I heard that Taiping Temple belongs to my wife, so I wonder if I can borrow it?" Cheng Ping asked.
Cheng Jiaoniang responded yes.
Cheng Ping smiled and saluted again.
Cheng Jiaoniang was naturally busy and avoided it.
Cheng Ping stood up straight and looked at the woman who finally dared to look at him, his expression of awe lessened and more of a reluctance, just like a young child leaving his relatives in love.
He stopped and looked at Cheng Jiaoniang.
"I have learned something from studying Lao Tzu," he said, "I wonder if Madam would like to hear it?"
Cheng Jiaoniang watched him raise his sleeves half-covered again, tears falling from his eyes, and before the tears could fall, she bowed deeply and saluted.
"Please enlighten me, sir." She choked and said.
On the official road in the early morning of early autumn, more and more people were coming in and out of the city. There were people on horseback and in sedan chairs, people carrying burdens and carts, and men and women, old and young, dressed in silk, silk and coarse linen. There was an endless stream of people passing by.
They couldn't help but look towards the roadside.
There is a large catalpa tree growing alone in the wild field by the roadside, and its branches and leaves are still dark green at this time.
Catalpa trees of this size are not uncommon. What attracts everyone is the two people sitting under the tree.
A young man raised his finger to the sky and talked while a young lady sat upright and listened carefully.
"...So Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things, that is, things have their origins, species have their ancestors, heaven and earth, the great things are inferior to humans..."
What is this doing?
Some people couldn't help but walked over curiously. The attendants standing around under the tree did not stop them, and those who listened were not displeased. They were each in a trance as if they were forgetting themselves.
"...Heaven and earth are born from Taihe, and Taihe is born from Xuming, so life is born from nothingness... The way of heaven and earth is one yin and one yang... But I am in charge of my destiny, so why ask for the great..."
The loud sound spread under the trees in the wild, and gradually more and more people came around, making it a scene from a distance.
