After the new consort

Tianxiang listened to this metaphor, and then looked at the stone, and suddenly felt a little kindness, but her heart was slightly shaken by this sudden clarity and understanding, and she was stunned for a while without answering.

But Feng Suzhen stood up suddenly, looked at the high place and said excitedly: "Your bosom friend is more than this one, let's walk up, if we are lucky, we might be able to gather Gongshangjiao Zhengyu!"

So the originally boring mountain climbing became a goal and a surprise. When I got to the top of the mountain, I finally found five stones with different timbres.Tianxiang knocked back and forth excitedly, while teasing: "These five confidants have been on the same mountain for such a long time, today can be regarded as meeting, and we have done a good deed."

Feng Suzhen stretched out her hand to arrange the stones one by one, raised her head while sitting on the ground and replied, "Yes, let's let them go to the end, and I'll use them to play a little song for you, how about it?"

In Tianxiang's surprised expression, the five stones picked up along the way actually played a tune in Feng Suzhen's hands. Although the tune was simple, it matched the clouds flowing in the mountains, and it was comfortable and comfortable.

At the end of the song, Tianxiang said with satisfaction: "It's really interesting, it seems that it's still useful to bring you along."

Thinking that I hadn't found it so many times, I couldn't help but wondered: "Hey, how did you find this kind of stone? Why didn't I pay attention to it so many times?"

"I also saw this kind of stone in the book before, so I paid more attention." Feng Suzhen explained: "I only picked up one piece at first, and I was not sure about it. Later, I came across the nearby villagers by chance. The girls from my family found that they often come here to have fun, and they call it a "singing stone". I didn't know that there are so many different timbres in this mountain. I think only their pure eyes can discover this natural sound. gift."

Tianxiang saw the yearning expression on her face, snorted and said: "It turns out that it's an unexpected harvest that attracts bees and butterflies everywhere. I don't know which girl is so unlucky. She might be cheated and dream about it!"

Feng Suzhen rolled her eyes with a half-smile, and suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, that girl told me an interesting thing, which is the tree behind you." She pointed to a tree full of people behind Tianxiang. The thick crape myrtle said: "This tree is three or four hundred years old, but you can see that its bark is very smooth and very sensitive. As long as someone touches its bark, the tops of its branches and leaves will vibrate slightly, as if It's like being tickled, so the villagers here also call it the 'itchy tree'."

"Oh? There is such an interesting old tree, I'll try it." Tianxiang walked towards the tree while talking, and touched the trunk carefully, her whole body was tense, her eyes were fixed on the treetop, but He didn't see any movement, so he scratched the bark harder, but he still didn't see any movement after a long while, so he changed his position and scratched vigorously, then turned around and said to Feng Suzhen, "Why didn't I respond after scratching for a long time? , are you sure you were talking about this—”

The moment she turned her head and saw Feng Suzhen, Tianxiang's voice stopped, and she saw Feng Suzhen resting her forehead with one hand and her knees with the other, obviously bent over laughing!Hearing Tianxiang's voice disappear, Feng Suzhen raised her head and said with a forced smile: "I don't know which girl this is—so unlucky—she was cheated—and she is struggling to tickle the tree."

"Feng Suzhen! How dare you lie to me!" Tianxiang's furious voice followed a spinning kick and came to her eyes in a moment.

Feng Suzhen didn't dare to be careless, she turned her face away, and hurriedly ran away, Tianxiang stretched out her hand to pull her clothes, after all, her martial arts were not good enough, so she had to chase after her closely, the two just ran around the big tree to hide After going for a long time, finally Feng Suzhen stopped first and begged for mercy: "I can't run anymore, princess please spare me, I won't dare to do it again next time."

Tianxiang was panting while grabbing her skirt, snorted threateningly and said, "Next time you get tired of work, you can lie to me again!" Then she pushed her and let her go.

Feng Suzhen lay down on the ground, put her hands behind her head, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds with a look of enjoyment.

Tianxiang looked down at her, and at this moment felt that this person who was like a breeze had finally melted into this breeze.

After hesitating for a while, Tianxiang still asked the increasingly obvious doubts since the trip: "You seem to have changed a lot today?"

"Huh?" Feng Suzhen looked at her upon hearing the sound, "What's wrong? What changed?"

"It's as if... came back to life all of a sudden, unlike the usual serious look." Tianxiang said, and the expressionless face immediately appeared in his mind.

"Oh? Are you not used to adding some sugar suddenly to plain water?" Feng Suzhen sat up and leaned against the tree trunk next to her, patted the open space next to her, and signaled Tianxiang to sit down too.

Slowly restraining his joking expression, he said: "Maybe it's not that I've become different from the old me, but that the old me has never been me. Finally, there will be a day where I don't have to conform to any label, plus The long sky is bright and the green hills are light and spacious, so I accidentally found my original self."

Tianxiang also sat on the ground with her, scolding disapprovingly: "You, just say that you are tired from life, why care about those labels, so what if they don't match, who can force you!"

"That's why I often admire you. After all, how many people in the world can live as freely as you do, such as the daughter of the government who is raised in the deep boudoir, and the talented woman who is famous for painting and calligraphy. Oh, how can there be any exceptions?" Feng Suzhen thought about it for many years The former self shook his head helplessly.

"But you are still the biggest exception, far more deviant than me!" Tianxiang replied unconvinced.

"So I have to try my best to hide myself. The number one scholar, the hand-picked son-in-law, the young prime minister, all these things in the eyes of others can kill me at any time." Feng Suzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, as if Wanting to get rid of all the heaviness of the past, he said again: "I feel so good now, I don't have to go in and out of the court every day with fear, and I don't have to deliberately smile at you, this—"

"Intentional?! So you did it on purpose!" Tian Xiang straightened up and stared at Feng Suzhen, remembering the days when she was aggrieved, her chest seemed to be filled with soreness, she raised her voice and asked, "I'm not my father. Huang, if you can really kill you, you actually want to put on airs with me, do you still have a conscience!"

Feng Suzhen turned her head to meet Tianxiang's glaring gaze, her originally relaxed eyes slowly showed self-blame, and her tone became heavy: "Yeah, you will definitely not really kill me, just because I know you are so kind, I will definitely kill you." To make you hate Feng Shaomin."

This apologetic look was so familiar, Tianxiang couldn't stand it, and subconsciously turned her head away.

Feng Suzhen also turned around and looked into the distance, but she still didn't stop to explain: "Without Feng Shaomin, maybe you would have lived a comfortable and happy life in a place with green mountains and green waters. How could Feng Shaomin, who didn't exist in the first place, let him What drags you down again and again? So you can only find true happiness if you keep loathing him. It’s just that you are so straightforward and pure, like a warm sun in this cold palace. Hating me, this feeling is really not good."

Tianxiang was stunned when she heard this, her anger gradually subsided, but the soreness in her heart seemed to be fermented, it was unspeakably uncomfortable, she seemed to want to refute every sentence, but she didn't know where to start, she stopped for a moment or endured it. He couldn't help saying: "Even without Feng Shaomin, sooner or later I would find out that I and—" Having said this, his face blushed slightly, but he couldn't continue, and waved his hands irritably: "Anyway, it's all predestined, you Why do you need to take it on yourself?"

"No, it shouldn't be your life, it's my fault for delaying you." Feng Suzhen said word by word, her tone was like the clouds before the heavy rain, weighing heavily on people's hearts.

"Here you go again, you—" Tianxiang didn't know what else to say to wake up this Yumu head.

"It must have been more difficult later on, right?" Feng Suzhen asked softly, concentrating on Tianxiang: "After I entered the prison, the emperor's body was already deeply poisoned. Save me and think of a way, while worrying about the health of the emperor, and planning for the succession of the crown prince, it all depends on you alone, and you never like to meddle in the government, how did you survive at that time?"

It was as if she had finally found a breaking point in her heart full of distress. With a few words of comfort and a pair of eyes full of pity, the grievance that Tianxiang had suppressed for a long time, and even she wanted to forget, flooded her eye sockets in an instant.Yes, at that time, it was a panic I had never experienced in my life. The son-in-law suddenly disappeared, Feng Suzhen was about to be executed, the father was suddenly seriously ill but still insisted on killing him, and the emperor was still numb. , even Yijian Piaohong is nowhere to be found, what should I do?As far as I recall, I am still full of bewilderment.

"At that time... then..." Tianxiang's choked up voice could no longer speak, covering her face with her hands and trembling slightly.

Looking at Tianxiang's trembling shoulders, Feng Suzhen felt a thin layer of pain in her heart. Is this the lively and carefree princess?How can I make up for the harm I have done to her?

Feng Suzhen, who was named on the gold list, couldn't think of a word of comfort at this time, maybe it would be good to let her vent her joy, so she gently took her into her arms, and whispered: "Tianxiang, I'm sorry."

The familiar smell made Tianxiang calm down slowly. The helplessness and grievance these days seemed to be waiting for this moment of redemption. This heart that had never been at ease finally landed safely. Quietly fell asleep.
