Tang riddles

Holding an umbrella, Xu Jie stood outside Li Jinyue's bedroom door.The bedroom door was open, Li Jinyue had already finished her breakfast, rinsed her mouth, took her purple sheathed sword, and walked out of the bedroom.

Xu Jie hurried forward to hold an umbrella for her.It's just that Li Jinyue is a bit too tall, so Xu Jie had to stretch his arms, which seemed a bit strenuous.

"Hehe, Yujie, let me do it." Li Jinyue took the umbrella with a smile and put it on Xu Jie's head.

Xu Jie hurriedly bowed in panic and said, "Thank you, princess."

The raindrops were crackling overhead, and the two walked unhurriedly towards the front yard.

Li Jinyue's Princess Jin's Mansion is her mansion, and all her official duties are handled in the mansion.The Princess Mansion is divided into a front yard and a back yard. The front yard is her official office, and it is also the place where she handles official duties when she is not in the military camp.

It was raining heavily today, and there was a court meeting again, and all high-ranking generals had gone to court, so Li Jinyue didn't plan to go to the military camp, and just read the official documents in her own government office.

I didn't know why I was restless last night. I didn't sleep well all night. I woke up this morning with blue eyes, lack of energy, and eyelids always twitching.Li Jinyue didn't eat much for breakfast, so she specially drank strong tea and smoked the refreshing diptero incense, which made her feel much better.

As soon as she walked to the front yard, she saw an attendant from the Princess Mansion waiting at the door. She stepped forward and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Princess, Mrs. Zhang San from the Zhang family in Qujiang is asking to see you outside the door." The attendant saluted.

Li Jinyue didn't react for a moment:

"What did you say? Say it again."

"Princess, Mrs. Zhang San of Qujiang, please see me outside the door." The attendant could only repeat.

At this time, Xu Jie who was beside Li Jinyue understood Zhang Ruohan's intention after his thoughts turned.She groaned secretly in her heart, and seeing that the princess hadn't figured out the joint, she hurriedly said to Li Jinyue:

"Princess, there are urgent military affairs that need to be dealt with today, let Mrs. Zhang San come back at another day."

Where did the emergency military affairs come from?Li Jinyue looked at Xu Jie suspiciously, raised her hand to signal her to be calm, then turned her head and said to the attendant:

"Hurry up and invite people in."

Xu Jie supported his forehead, thinking that this is a bad situation, this time he was really self-defeating.

"Princess, this subordinate will leave."

"Yujie, don't be in a hurry to avoid her. I don't have any private conversations with her that I need to keep from you. You just wait in the side hall, listen to our conversation, and explain the details for me." Li Jinyue said.

"Subordinate... obey orders." Xu Jie said with difficulty.

Xu Jie entered the meeting hall and went to the side hall.Li Jinyue was standing under the porch, waiting for Zhang Ruohan to come.

During this period, her face was a little cloudy and uncertain, sometimes happy, sometimes worried, and finally all turned into speculation and doubt, which was forcibly suppressed by her.

Until I saw the familiar figure in white clothes appearing in front of my eyes, all the previous anxiety turned into a spring of soft water in an instant, gurgling.

Today's Zhang Ruohan is a little different from the past, she didn't bring Wu Ya, her personal servant, and came here alone.On the clear and beautiful face, the expression is extraordinarily solemn, different from the usual indifference.Seeing Li Jinyue standing under the verandah, she raised her hands to her eyebrows and bowed.

Li Jinyue's bushy eyebrows frowned.

As she approached, Li Jinyue raised her hand to return the salute, and Zhang Ruohan saluted again.Li Jinyue asked half-jokingly:

"What is the reason for the lotus maid to look for me today? She is so solemn."

"There is indeed an extremely important matter that I want to inform Princess Yu."

Li Jinyue pursed her lips and did not answer, but just made a gesture of please, asking Zhang Ruohan to come in and talk again.Zhang Ruohan was not in a hurry, and nodded in agreement.

The two of them both entered the meeting hall, Li Jinyue sat cross-legged on the front seat, and Zhang Ruohan sat on the bottom seat, tidying up his clothes.

"Lotus Maid, if you have anything to say, just say it. Between you and me, there is no need to play tricks. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely help you, and I will never quit."

Zhang Ruohan replied: "I'm afraid this matter, the princess is really helpless. But even so, Ruohan still has to say it, and she must say it clearly."

Li Jinyue remained silent, waiting for her next words.

Zhang Ruohan took a deep breath, but before he could speak, his lips trembled.She pursed her lips, calmed down, and said, "Ruohan, since she was a child, she has been cold and eccentric, and she doesn't like to interact with others. Therefore, apart from relatives, only the princess and Chishi have good friends with me. Ruohan, I know very well that I The humbleness is not worthy of the love you two have for me. I came here today to explain to the princess that Ruohan no longer wants to see the princess wasting her time and wasting precious time on me. Ruohan... ready to marry..."

"Lotus maid!" The corner of Li Jinyue's mouth twitched, abruptly cutting off Zhang Ruohan's words.Then he pulled out a forced smile and said, "This year there is plenty of rain in the south. I'm afraid the lychees in Lingnan are growing very well. In the past, your family would send lychees here every year. I don't know if this year, I will have the same good fortune as in previous years."

Zhang Ruohan was interrupted, she pursed her lips and looked at Li Jinyue, her eyes were already red.She didn't answer Li Jinyue's words, so the hall fell into an embarrassing silence.

Li Jinyue swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and let out a deep breath, not daring to look at Zhang Ruohan.Her body was trembling, and even her breathing was unstable.After a long while, she pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, and spoke slowly, as if she was trying to suppress something in her voice:

"Five years ago, Hachiro died, and my mother also died of sorrow and anger because of my father's unreasonable suspicion and the frame-up of some vicious women in the palace. I really lost all thoughts and felt that this life was meaningless. I picked up the short sword and wanted to pierce my heart, but in the end I gave up." She smiled wryly and asked:

"Do you know why I didn't tell myself?"

Tears accumulated in Zhang Ruohan's eyes, but she still didn't answer because she knew she didn't need it.

"It's you, to be precise, it's you." She sniffed, turned sideways, and put her elbows on the desk, as if she would fall down if she didn't do this, "Oh... Lian Maid, you said you It's a fact that I have a eccentric personality and no friends. But I, why not? My friends, only you, the time with you is the happiest and most precious time in my life. I can't get back that time.

Akashi... ahem, Akashi is really enviable, enviable to the point of jealousy. At this point, she covered her mouth and nose for some reason, as if to prevent herself from vomiting:

"I'm really... huh... jealous of her. She just left us like this, and she just took off the hopes and dreams she had brought to us, and left them to us to complete. But at this point, she But it has become my dream. She is the freedom and happiness I yearn for the most. She can't come back, so I know my freedom and happiness, and I will never come back again.

She may be waiting for me in the distance, but there is a sea of ​​swords and flames between us, and there is only a narrow cableway for me to move forward, and if I am not careful, I will fall down.So I have to step by step, move forward cautiously, and go to her bit by bit.I don't know if I can go there, maybe this life is out of reach.

I often dream about her, and she told me: You can't die yet, you have to hold on, little rabbit, your favorite radish leaves are in a place you can see but can't touch.Hehehehehe... Yin Ziji, she has gone well. This time she left, she was unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent, unrighteous, fraternal, trustless, shameless, she is a forgetful person!Cough cough cough..." She coughed painfully.

"Maomao..." Zhang Ruohan's cheeks were already wet with tears.

"I... what I can't understand the most is why you fell in love with her. When you parted, how old was she? How old were you? You love her so deeply? This wait... is 17 years! These many years , who is alive and who is dead, I can't tell. But I also have to thank you, because you have no self in your eyes, so I can live until now, and try my best to make you fall in love with me. It seems It has become the meaning of my life." Li Jinyue said wearily, she finally raised her red eyes, looked at Zhang Ruohan, and said:

"Lotus Maid, let me ask you, since you love her so much, why did you betray her? Do you also feel that the persistence of these years has lost its meaning."

Zhang Ruohan wept silently, but her figure was still upright when she was sitting in a squatting position.She stubbornly stared straight ahead, even though she was heartbroken, she still cried quietly.

Li Jinyue smiled wryly, this is Zhang Ruohan, so stubborn, this is her nature.Even crying, she has to cry out her spotless nobility and strength.

"Mamao, you don't know many things. I have never given up on my perseverance. And I have never betrayed her."

"Really?" These words sounded so grand in Li Jinyue's ears.A woman who is about to marry a strange man, but says that her childhood sweetheart who has been thinking about her for 17 years is still unshakable. Can she still believe this?

"Tell me why you agreed to marry Shen Sui, and give me a reason." She asked.

"Because she is a suitable person, a person worth marrying." Zhang Ruohan said.

"Heh...hehehehe..." Li Jinyue found it ridiculous, "Is this your reason?"

"Crack", Li Jinyue kicked over the table in front of her, stood up angrily, and shouted:

"You might as well say, it's to kick me away! It's to force me to stop pestering you!" She wandered in the lobby furiously.

"Mamao, I never thought of leaving you. Even though you have been unwilling to let go of this relationship that you shouldn't have these years, I have never planned to leave you for a moment." Zhang Ruohan looked at her and explained calmly.

"Shouldn't have feelings? You should have feelings for Chishi, and I shouldn't have feelings for you?!" Li Jinyue's chest was heaving sharply.

"Li Jinyue! Don't forget your identity! You are the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty! If Chishi is alive, I have little hope of marrying her. If it were you, it would be absolutely impossible! What I said You should know what it means to have 'unsatisfactory feelings'. People must do what they can, otherwise they will be willful and reckless without knowing it!" Zhang Ruohan said coldly.

Li Jinyue seemed to be laughed out of anger, nodded repeatedly, and said:

"Okay, well said, what a self-willed and reckless person, what an ignorant one! So when you marry that Shen Sui, you do what you can and know yourself, right? Zhang Ruohan, you!" She approached Zhang Ruohan angrily, but He stopped abruptly, shook his sleeves angrily, gritted his teeth and sighed, "What should I do with you..."

Zhang Ruohan stiffened his neck and did not speak.

"Let's stop arguing. I'm only discussing with you. You don't want to marry him, and I won't bother you. Let's... go back to the past, okay?" Li Jinyue lowered her voice, lowered her figure, and squatted in front of Zhang Ruohan's position. He took her hand and begged in a low voice.

"Princess, you and I... can't go back to the past..." Zhang Ruohan's tear-filled eyes slowly lifted up, so sad and desperate, they looked into Li Jinyue's heart like this.Her hands were cold, without a trace of warmth.Li Jinyue just felt that even if they were so close now, they were still so close.

She was out of strength, with a slightly dull expression, and slowly sat on the ground from a squatting posture, sitting opposite Zhang Ruohan.She let go of Zhang Ruohan's hand, raised her palm, covered her cheeks, and sobbed faintly.

Zhang Ruohan wiped away tears and sighed silently.

"Princess, if you are still Li Maomao back then, I will still be Zhang Ruohan back then, even if I marry someone. Let this relationship pass away. If you don't love, it won't hurt. OK." She said quietly.

"Why not love?" She asked feebly.

"Taiwan Wangqing, Wangqing is a person who is silent and not emotional, if you forget it. When you practice swords, you should be able to cut if you know what you know. Only then can you be a master of great things." Zhang Ruohan said.

"Break love?" She was puzzled, "I don't understand, and I can't do it."

"It's okay, I don't understand, but time will tell us how to do it." Zhang Ruohan said softly.

"Lotus Maid, I beg you one last time, don't marry him, you don't love him, how can you marry him, it will be a life-long disaster. You must not do such a thing just because I pester you. It is irresponsible to yourself, and it is also a betrayal of the deceased Chishi." Li Jinyue said.

Zhang Ruohan pursed her lips, and after a long while, she replied:

"Princess, I married her not because of you, but because of her. I think she is a good person, and someone who deserves to spend the rest of my life with her. Akashi is dead, she won't know What happens after death. But because of this, we widows should cherish our remaining time even more. You will understand that I married her completely out of voluntary, not forced."

"I don't understand, I don't understand!" Li Jinyue patted the table angrily, and Zhang Ruohan clearly saw that the incense burner on the table was shaken out of incense ash.

"You don't want to marry him, or I'll kill him." Li Jinyue had already given up discussing the matter with Zhang Ruohan. She was tired, exhausted, and heartbroken. way to solve the problem.

She felt that Zhang Ruohan had been drugged by Shen Sui, and that she was not the same as before. The real Zhang Ruohan could not betray her feelings for Chishi, even if she died alone, she would never marry someone else.

That is the Zhang Ruohan in her heart, the Zhang Ruohan she loves.

Zhang Ruohan is going to marry Shen Sui, this is a matter that subverts her cognition extremely. In her concept, even if Zhang Ruohan will never fall in love with her, it doesn't matter, because she knows that Zhang Ruohan has been thinking about Chishi, so then Just let her miss like this, and I can silently guard her side, that's enough.

But why? !What exactly is this for? !

"You can't kill her! Otherwise, I'll break up with you!" Zhang Ruohan was really angry.

Li Jinyue stared at her with wide eyes, full of disbelief.She felt that Zhang Ruohan in front of her was terribly strange.

"Believe it or not, believe it or not, I've been sending people to follow Shen Sui. I know where he went and what he did. It's easy for me to kill him."

"Then do you know that she has already entered the palace and asked the saint for a marriage?" Zhang Ruohan retorted angrily, and when she said the words, she knew that she had slipped her words, and it was too late to regret it.

Li Jinyue was taken aback when she heard the words, and was stunned for a moment, only to feel a throbbing pain above her temple.She raised her hand and squeezed her forehead, shouting:

"Xu Jie! Xu Jie, get out!"

The door of the side hall opened, Xu Jie came out in a hurry, and bowed at Li Jinyue's feet.

"Shen Sui entered the palace to ask for marriage today, why didn't you tell me? I asked you what happened to him, but you said no?"

"Princess forgive me! This subordinate can't report this matter to the princess. This subordinate believes that the princess should break up with her as soon as possible to achieve great things." Xu Jie said anxiously, lying on the ground.

Li Jinyue pointed at her angrily, her fingers trembling, but she was speechless.Finally, she kicked Xu Jie on the shoulder and said angrily:

"Rebellious ministers!!! Every one of you wants me to achieve great things. If you want to achieve great things, you choose another master. Today, I have to be a willful and reckless person!!!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed his great sword, turned around and was about to leave the gate of the meeting hall.Zhang Ruohan said anxiously:

"Li Jinyue, stop for me!"

Li Jinyue didn't listen at all.

Xu Jie rushed forward, hugged Li Jinyue's leg, and shouted:

"Princess! Princess can't do it!"

Li Jinyue kicked her away.But because Xu Jie delayed for a while, Zhang Ruohan caught up and grabbed Li Jinyue's arm.

"Li Jinyue, you must not leave this door today!"

"let me go!"

"I won't let you go! I will never allow you to do anything wrong. You are not clear-headed now, and you will cause disaster!" Zhang Ruohan used all the strength in her life to restrain Li Jinyue, but Li Jinyue's strength was too great. unimaginable.

"Let go!" Li Jinyue's arm held by Zhang Ruohan suddenly lifted, and Zhang Ruohan was overturned by overwhelming force. She fell backwards, and the moment before she fell, she seemed to see a pair of eyes full of murderous intent.The bloody atmosphere on the battlefield rushed towards her face, making her face turn pale with horror.

She fell heavily to the ground, and her brain was briefly dazed for a moment. When she hurriedly got up and went to look at the door, the man was no longer there.

Zhang Ruohan's heart was cold.

The author has something to say: Too much forgetting love, not being heartless, having feelings but not knowing it, like being lonely and forgetting.Such realms are attainable by extraordinary people.The one who has achieved is also the supreme venerable.
