May you live in peace

Takasugi wandered the streets of Shangjing. It has been more than ten days since the last palace banquet ended, and she also worked in the capital for a while.As the Habayashi supervisor, her function is very simple. Sometimes she will guard the palace and patrol, and sometimes she will be sent to the streets to be responsible for the vigilance around the imperial city.She was on vacation today, so she wandered around the street.

"Shan, Ashan." A thin voice came from the corner of the street, Takasugi turned his head, saw a few beggars in the corner of the wall, and walked over.

"Why are you here?" Since she worked in the capital, she also had her own small house nearby.Sometimes she would go to the beggars who were begging together at that time, help them, and let them help herself.

"Those people took our place today, so we didn't go to West Street." The leading child is the second child, who is 11 years old this year. They have no names, so they are arranged in order, and everyone calls them by their serial numbers.

Gao Shan took out a dozen copper coins and gave them to them, and the children took turns hugging her and kissing her.Gao Shan didn't dislike it either, he had lived such a life before.

"Shan, we didn't find Grandpa Jiao." The second child continued.Gao Shan asked them to help her find Jiao Lao. Since the last time she returned to Beijing, she would look for Jiao Lao when she had time, but she couldn't find him.

"Did anyone see Mr. Jiao leave?"

"No, they said that Grandpa Jiao disappeared not long after you joined the army. There are a few people who have a good relationship with Grandpa Jiao. They asked someone to ask if he left the city, but there is no news."

Gao Shan was a little disappointed, but saw several children staring at him, patted their heads, and asked them to buy food.When the children heard this, they cheered and ran away.

Gao Shan stood at the corner of the wall for a while, and was about to get up to leave, but he heard footsteps behind him.

"What are you doing here?" The voice was clear but still childish.

"Your Highness." Gao Shan looked at Yin Luo who was standing not far away.It's strange to say that since she returned to the capital and worked in the capital, Yin Luo has always had various 'encounters' with herself.In fact, she hadn't exchanged any major matters, but she found that although this princess was mature, she was very different from Yin Xi, and she still had a childish look.But she chatted very openly with herself, sometimes even like a friend, not a monarch.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"Think of it as me asking you, what are you doing at the side door of my mansion?"

Gao Shan looked around suspiciously, but saw that the wall color beside him was different from the paint color of ordinary mansions.The walls paved with cinnabar, the baskets with gilded eaves, and the rubble and door lintels with black and black as the main theme, it seems that these children really know how to choose a place.

"I passed by by chance and met some friends." Gao Shan's face remained unchanged.Yin Luo looked at the trees and walls around him, it seemed that this friend was really interesting, and he liked to talk in this remote place.

"Yuqing Pond is holding a poetry banquet today. Almost all the princes and brothers in the capital are there. It's very lively. Would you like to go and see it?"

Gao Shan saw Yin Luo gesturing towards the back of the fence, and the back of the mansion led to the river.Gao Shan knew that the second princess liked all kinds of banquets, and would let him go as long as he had the opportunity, but every time he went, he would be forced to drink. Gao Shan didn't like drinking, and seeing that she was somewhat familiar with him, he replied.

"I'm just a military officer. I don't know how to write poems and songs, so I won't go there. It's rare to rest, so I just walk around."

Seeing Gao Shan's intention to resign, Yin Luo tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Sister Huang should be there too. The court has nothing to do today. Sister Huang is so talented, so she will definitely go and see."

What Gao Shan was about to say was interrupted by this sentence. Seeing that Yin Luo smiled harmlessly to humans and animals, he didn't know why she mentioned Yin Xi.But this sentence did make Gao Shan hesitate, seeing his tangled appearance, Yin Luo walked towards the direction of the river.Gao Shan thought for a while, and followed Yin Luo's pace, Yin Luo's smile became more obvious.In fact, she quite likes Gao Shan. Although he doesn't like to communicate with people in the court, she occasionally sees him chatting enthusiastically with a group of soldiers when she passes by Yulin Ying.He is also a caring person who will help those around him, even with small things.And she also knew that this person was very concerned about her sister's news, because she knew more than once that he was inquiring about her stories and events.Later, when she had occasional contact with him, she found that he was actually quite smart, but he didn't like to express himself, and he didn't like to participate in complicated things.

In Yuqing Pool, an attic was built in the center of the huge water area. The attic has four floors and is divided into five directions, which means all corners of the world.Surrounded by green forests, surrounding the lake, orchid grass grows all over the lake shore, neat and elegant.The boathouses on the lake are next to each other, laughter can be heard from the tall boathouses, and the small pleasure boats are running back and forth on the lake, making it lively.

"The face of the lotus jade shines in the clear water, and the eldest princess really smiles and she will overwhelm the country." Gao Shan followed Yin Luo on the stone bridge leading to the attic, and looked up to see a group of rich officials and eunuchs on the third floor. In the center, she is wearing a blue and white train, her hair is casually spread behind her back, and a suet white jade accessory is hung on her waist, facing the lake sideways.

"Naturally, the spring breeze also loves to be happy with others, but when Yuronghua is sleeping?" the man didn't forget to shake his folding fan as soon as he finished speaking, thinking that he was very personable.

Originally, there were many people joining in the fun, and many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, as well as merchants and poets, surrounded the building with water.There are also common people in the market, and some young women, some with veils, some covered with powder, I hope these young masters can take a fancy to me.

Yin Xi smiled, but the interest in her eyes faded. These noble sons, who have been composing for so long, only care about praising her, and she also knows why these people do this.Eyes drifted over the stone bridge and the lake full of people outside, and seeing the people outside automatically give way, Yin Luo walked a little fast, with the mountains behind, his brows stretched involuntarily, and his face was soft.

Seeing the change in the eldest princess's expression, these sons thought that their poems had moved the eldest princess, so they worked harder.

"Father ordered a Chinese Poetry Banquet in Yuqing Pond, invited the children of all nobles to participate, and asked the emperor's sister to come to the scene for selection. It was originally thinking that the princes of all ethnic groups would show their talents and write generous poems. Here, we will talk about state affairs and create excellent works. He's a great talent. Now he's patronizing and praising Miss Huang, so don't all the talented people like Meng Lang now, yearning for love so much?"

Yin Luo's voice came faintly, his tone was neither hasty nor slow, but also sarcastically.Seeing that her demeanor is dignified, Gao Shan changed from the casualness she had in the previous contact with him, with the majesty of a superior, secretly sighing that the royal family is really different from ordinary people.

"I have seen Your Highness." A group of young masters saluted, and Yin Luo bypassed them and went directly to Yin Xi's side before letting them get up.

"Since you are all here to attend the Hua Poetry Banquet, then all the talents of love will come up with your peerless works. Our palace will wait and see with Huang Jie. Don't write sour words and crooked poems to disturb Huang Jie's interest."

The faces of the disciples below also turned red, but they didn't dare to confront the second princess. They obediently returned to their respective seats and sat down, and began to compete.

"Since we are here for this late spring, let's make a problem with this season." Yin Xi took a sip from the tea bowl.Seeing that the princess broke the embarrassing atmosphere by presenting a question, the people in the next seat also began to discuss.

"When I was young, I didn't know that spring was flying by, and I wanted the breeze to be the autumn. Now there are thirty thousand flowers floating in the air, and I can see all the mountains and rivers." The eldest son of Shang Shuling was the first to speak out, and as he started, all the talented people around It is also doing my part, and there is a lot of noise.

"Thousands of miles of Yin Qiao Mang Yufei, laughing horses looking forward to returning home after a long journey.

In the past, the red-coated children made troubles when they were young, and the incident suddenly felt sad. "The one who wrote the poem was the third son of Shang Jing Yin, who was handsome and elegant. As soon as he finished reading, the crowd below rang out congratulations and words of admiration. The other sons were unwilling to give in, and they all got up to read their own poems. poems.

"Sister Huang, do you appreciate it?" Seeing that Yin Xi was a bit bored, Yin Luo asked someone to bring some refreshments, after all, this banquet still took a day of work.

"However, there are still those clichéd verses, even though they are young, but the word 'sorrow' never leaves their mouths, and there is a lot of resentment in their hearts."

Gao Shan saw that Yin Xi glanced at the young masters who were praising each other below, then turned his eyes back and looked at himself.

"Luo Er brought you here." The tone was not interrogative, but affirmative.Speaking of which, she hadn't seen him for a while, and since he followed Yin Luo, she guessed that Luo Er might have forced Gao Shan to come here.She also heard from the dark guard that Luo Er was getting close to Gao Shan, the supervisor of Habayashi recently, and she didn't know why this little girl was interested in Gao Shan recently.

"Yes." Without saying what the second princess said about Yin Xi's presence, seeing Yin Luo get up and order the servants to prepare something, she simply attributed the 'credit' to her.

"The Hua Poetry Banquet is held once a year, and it's a cleansing for this late spring." Gao Shan took the cake from Yin Luo and handed it to Yin Xi. Seeing his self-consciousness, Yin Luo stared at his empty palms and ordered someone to take it Come over with some drinks.

When he was in the military camp before, Gao Shan often guarded Yin Xi's main tent.Sometimes Gao Jianping is not by her side, and Gao Shan is responsible for passing the meals, and Yin Xi is also used to accepting the things he handed over.

Yin Luo saw that someone was bringing drinks, and although the two people beside him did not communicate with each other, one was in charge of serving meals and the other was elegant.He poured the wine into the cup and placed it in front of the two of them, knowing that Takasugi was afraid of drinking, so he poured it to overflowing.

"Your Highness?" Gao Shan saw Yin Luo holding the glass, knowing that she and him like to play around, staring at the glass, his eyelids twitched.

"Luo'er is very playful." He moved the wine glass away, moved the plate Gao Shan had prepared and put it in front of Yin Luo, patted her on the head, telling her to drink less.

Although the son at the bottom had already started to get excited, and the exchanges and games became more intense, they also paid attention to the actions of the two princesses sitting above.Yin Xi smiled very formally at the beginning, and then she began to smile softly after her highness came down. Seeing the man standing next to them, he was thin and handsome, and thought, isn't this the Habayashi supervisor who was rewarded for his meritorious service.Seeing Takasugi keep handing things to the eldest princess, and the second princess even playing with her, not only did she start to think about the relationship between the three.

"Forgive my blindness. At first I didn't notice that Gao Yulin was here too. Since we are both of the same age, why don't you also compete with me." The capital is also known as talented.The purpose of participating in the Huashi Banquet this time is very simple. His father hopes that he can attract the attention of the eldest princess and make friends with the eldest princess, so as to win the favor of the eldest princess.

Gao Shan saw someone calling her name. The person was about seven feet tall, with red lips and white teeth, and a crown on his head, but his face was full of flair.

"Don't dare, I'm a military officer, I've never learned poetry, how can I get involved in this poetry feast." Gao Shan clasped his fists and said.But these sons were not ready to give up, they took her by the hand and took her to the seat below to sit.Gao Shan turned his head to see Yin Luo's playful smile, not only secretly thought that this little ancestor really had a temperament of fearing that the world would not be chaotic.Seeing that Yin Xi was also interested, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit there without making a sound.

"When the wind blows, how can the world be this spring and autumn?" A young man who was a little drunk walked up to Gao Shan and handed the wine to her. ', 'Really a man in the army'.These people seem to be on the rise, and some people prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones and gouache. On the high-rise buildings, it is the joy of the major families of today and the people in power in the future.

After going on like this for an hour, these sons lost the restraint they had at the beginning, but they still showed their talents to the two princesses. Some of them had obvious possessiveness in their eyes, but they tried their best to suppress it.After Gao Shan was drunk, she sat there blankly. She didn't have any drinking madness or other bad habits, but when she drank too much, her brain was not easy to work quickly, so she could only sit there to let her brain rest, but she couldn't leave Yin Xi's eyes Location.

"Gao Yulin also came to compose poems or play a song, wouldn't it be boring to sit here." I don't understand why this Xiao Fu has been pestering me, seeing the eldest son of Zuo Fengyi, who is very much trusted by the current emperor, speaking , everyone booed.

Yin Xi noticed that the voices below suddenly became louder. Seeing that Gao Shan was pulled up by the crowd and walked to the table, she couldn't help but stop talking with Yin Luo and watched the movement below.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Gao Shan looked up at Yin Xi and Yin Luo, and said to Yin Xi while drunk, "I wonder if the eldest princess can do me a favor?"

The young masters were also frightened by Takasugi, seeing him make a request directly to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess did not even refuse, but raised her eyebrows, as if asking him what he wanted to do.

Gao Shan turned around and asked a few servants to go outside to bring some fine sand back, and walked to the window sill by himself.Looking at the lush branches and leaves outside the window, I stretched out my hand and planted a fat and hard leaf, clamped the leaf with both hands, and put it on my lips, and the thin tune floated out.

It's like a world you can't get out of. At the beginning, the tone is very light, with the melody of birds singing, and the taste of spring.Yin Xineng saw Gaoshan's left hand trembling slightly, and with the shaking, Ye Zi's voice kept trembling and rising.There was also a rustling sound, like the sound of wind blowing, accompanied by water flow.Suddenly, the sound of her playing changed, like an abandoned child, with several confused tones, although it was light, it was sad.In fact, Takasugi doesn't care about her identity, she doesn't know why she came to this place or the world she used to be, living a wandering life with no one to rely on.She lived a repetitive life every day, getting up, begging for food, seeing all kinds of people passing by her, hearing someone sitting on a wooden chair not far from her and talking about dreams; hearing a group of people holding a few books. Books about politics, history, or the military; heard someone call their dogs by their names to let them go home.But she has never heard someone call her name, not a cold word like Gao Shan, but a voice calling out with recognition for her.In this world, she fell in love with Yin Xi's quietness when she called her name, which brought her the peace she wanted.Maybe she couldn't tell what it was like, but she knew that it was not like the call of ordinary girls, but with her own unique elegance, like an inescapable curse, so stay in this world .

Yin Xi also noticed the changes in Gaoshan. She always knew that this child had a maturity different from his identity and age. expressed in tone.Seeing the firm gaze in his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Takasugi continued to play, as if she was staying in that world, the tone became psychedelic, making it difficult for people to understand the emotion she wanted to express.The young masters in the building and the literati outside the building who could hear the voices all fell silent, as if they were recalling their own stories. This melancholy monotone made people feel emotional. Someone raised their sleeves and wiped the corner of my eye.

Takasugi hummed this song in his heart, which was not a song but had a tune.

'If the world could give me an explanation, I never asked why it made my life so boring.I just want to know if the person I care about most in this special world will go with me to a corner that no one goes to. '

The low tone rises again, making people think it will end with low and gloomy, but it makes the final tune clear.It's not cheerful, nor suddenly enlightened, but a kind of casual or indifferent lightness.Occasionally, a few high notes are mixed in, and Yin Xi doesn't know if she is missing the people and partners who walked down the battlefield together, or if she just makes this song have beauty one after another according to her feelings.At the end of the song, Takasugi played the last few tunes repeatedly, one after another, the story seemed to be unfinished and continued.

During the time for a cup of tea, the music was over, and the surrounding area was quiet, only the noisy sound came from the boathouse outside who didn't know what happened.Everyone here looked at this young man like this, leaning against the window railing, touched the leaf in his hand, and let it blow away with the wind.

Yin Xi applauded first, followed by her lead, the surroundings began to respond, but they didn't speak, just applauded.Perhaps this song is not the world of this child, and there are also many confusions that people in the world have.

"Gao Yulin, this is fine sand." Just when everyone thought the performance was over, the servants outside handed a small bag of fine sand to Gao Shan.Takasugi's drunkenness had not completely dissipated, his cheeks were slightly red, and he stared at Yin Xi, as if asking, will you help me finish it together?

Yin Xi smiled, asked someone to bring her Bi Xiao, stood up slowly, and signaled Gao Shan to start.Gao Shan smiled calmly, opened the cloth bag, and as Yin Xi's first tone sounded, she began to sprinkle sand on it lightly.

It is still the few tunes that Gao Sugi played just now, but under Xiao's playing, it seems more empty and real.Yin Luo looked at these two people, it had been a long time since he saw his sister's sonata.She has always known that her sister Huang is excellent, and all talented people want to marry her, not only because of her status, but also because of her right to be under one person and above ten thousand people.However, these people will not enter Miss Huang's heart, she concluded.Yin Luo sipped his wine slightly, his expression was exactly the same as Yin Xi's at this moment, she looked at Gao Shan's movements on the paper, and couldn't help laughing that this was definitely the most distinctive beggar she had ever seen.

After playing several times in a row, Yin Xi seemed to be emotional, and slowly put down Bi Xiao.But Takasugi didn't stop, and continued to draw as if he didn't know the situation.Yin Xi stepped up and walked down, but said in his mouth:

"When the autumn wind comes, you don't know the wind. When you look up, you will return to the north. You have a yellow face, a smile, and a jade and thin face. After leaving the river, there is a strong phase. How many things are in a dream.

Mo Dao fool looks at Changhong, walks in a hurry, Bai Shaoweng.Tasting horse wine, Bian Guozheng returned to the middle.When the world of mortals is from east to west, water plants are there, and late spring is the same. As soon as Yin Xi's tone stopped, Gao Shan also stopped his movements. Everyone was still reminiscing about Yin Xi's poems, but they saw that Gao Shan had already started to clean his hands, and Yin Xi picked up a pen to write the words on it. Yin Luo came down from the top and saw Gao Shan's poem Draw, with a surprised expression.

"Can this be picked up?" Yin Xi stopped writing, and asked Gao Shan, the painting was made of sand, and she didn't know if it could be moved.

"Yes, these fine sands are magnetic. I asked them to borrow a large magnet and put it under it, so it can be straightened."

Yin Luo nodded, and asked the two of them to lift up the sand painting and display it.The drawing paper is not big, two meters in length and two meters in width, with a thin magnet attached to the back.The border country is painted on it, but it is not just the border country.In the lower right corner, there is a group of beggars, sitting scattered, as if bored, looking up at the sky, and one of the children is sitting a little far away, holding a tree trunk in his hand, and drawing on the ground.The left corner above looks like a tent, built in a row, and there are shadows of cattle and sheep.In the center is the grassland. From the perspective of looking up, white clouds are floating in the sky one by one, with different shades of color.There are two figures in the lower right corner, but I can’t tell who they are. I only know that they are facing the painting and looking into the distance. In the upper right corner are Yin Xiti’s words. Luo felt that the font was still trembling.

"Okay, okay, wonderful, wonderful." I don't know which scholar opened the mouth first, and there was a commotion all around. Because the eldest princess and the second princess were here, they didn't dare to go forward, but they still squeezed to look at this pair of eyes that they had never seen before. A novel way of drawing.

"Gao Yulin is really extraordinary. Although he is a military professional, he is a talented person." Xiao Fu patted Gao Shan's shoulder, with praise in his words, but unwillingness and humiliation in his eyes.

Yin Xi asked people to frame the painting for storage, and asked Gao Shan to follow her to sit on the top seat when passing by the two of them.Because she could see that the child might be drinking, his eyes were a little blurred.

"Take it as my palace to cheer everyone up. The rest time is a bit long, and I hope everyone will be happy. It's still early, so you can continue." Yin Xi sat down and asked someone to prepare some hangover tea.

The sons of each family also recovered from the atmosphere just now, seeing Gao Shan sitting beside Yin Xi, his eyes were more or less complicated.Xiao Fu beckoned, and took the lead to return to his seat. The young masters continued to write poems and compose music, but they were less interested than before.

When the hangover tea was served, Takasugi had already fallen asleep sitting up.Yin Xi watched him fall asleep, maybe it was because of the alcohol, he fell asleep very soundly, with his head turned to one side, and the tranquility exuded from his whole body made her feel a little bit of his age for the first time.He sent two servants to prepare a carriage to take him back to his residence. After looking at the weather outside, he estimated that it was almost five o'clock, so he sent someone to prepare food.

It wasn't until night fell that the poetry banquet gradually faded away. After the young masters of each family and the crowd dispersed, Yin Xi took Yin Luo to prepare to return to the palace.

"Miss Huang will stay at my house today, it's probably too late to go back at this time, and it will be troublesome to clean up." Yin Xi thought for a while, and at this time, if she rushed back at this time, she might be imprisoned soon, so she agreed.The carriage turned around and headed towards the second princess's mansion.

On the other side, in the smoky room, the lights were extremely dim, and only various golden sculptures could be seen clearly under the huge room.A man was sitting on the bench made of rosewood, the beads in his hands were slowly turning, and a guard in black was kneeling underneath.

"Is it from her side?" The deep voice was full of anger, and he glanced at the guard below. The cold light and sharpness in his eyes made the guard lower his body.

"Yes."

"Hmph, it seems that there is no value in cultivating them. Let people keep an eye on them and watch their every move."

"Yes."

"The commotion over there is almost over, let their people distinguish the consequences before reporting back. Keep an eye on the actions of the two mansions in the capital. The last thing failed twice. If there is another mistake..."

"Don't dare."

"Let someone tell him that he doesn't need to work in the dark. Now give him a chance to go to Beijing and let him grasp it. Then send people to 'walk around' these people's houses. It's time to list the people who need to be eradicated."

"Yes."

As soon as the sound fell, only the man was left in the room, and there was the sound of the rosary turning.A pair of shoes embroidered with patterns came out from the darkness. He picked out the wick, and the sparks lit up for a while, but were snuffed out with his fingers.As the night grew darker, the surroundings became silent.The man walked back to the bed and continued to sit, rolling the beads in his hands, and staring at the position to the east.
