The Legend of Nanshan Jun

When I was deep in thought, I met a person who I couldn't avoid.

This time, however, it was inevitable.

"How long are you going to hide from me?" The voice was familiar and heart-wrenching.

I slowly bowed my body and saluted the person in front of me, "My minister sees Prince Heng."

He didn't wait for his excuse, but was hugged into his arms.

I couldn't help being stunned, and quickly pushed him away, "Please forgive me, my lord, this humble minister is already the emperor's male concubine."

"Why are you here?" Li Xuruo looked at me with puzzlement and pain in his eyes.

"I thought the lord knew about it a long time ago." I sighed and smiled lightly at him.

After listening to my words, his mood became very excited.

"How would I know? How did I know? You have been facing me with a mask on all this time." He took a step forward and looked straight at me, "How do you let me know?"

"My lord, I'm sorry." I bowed my head.

The past has been a thing of the past, and there is no possibility of going back.

"Why don't you want to be my side concubine, but you are willing to be the male concubine of the three thousand in the harem? Have you ever liked me?"

I smiled wryly, "If the prince really likes me, why didn't he marry me into the palace with eight palanquins? Like, these two words are too light."

"I... have my reasons. It's not that I don't like you, I'm just waiting." Heng Wang said with difficulty.

"But I don't have time to wait, my lord. Who can refuse the imperial decree?" I sighed.

"If you had told me at that time, I would definitely not have let you enter the palace. Even if I had entered the palace, I would have begged the emperor to ask you to go." King Heng clenched his fists.

I couldn't help chuckling, "My lord, do you still remember the day when the Liyuan was canonized? I stood in front of my lord that day, does my lord recognize me?"

"I... I was thinking of you at the time, and I didn't care about the new male concubines at all."

I believe that.

Li Xuruo never paid attention to me from the beginning to the end, except for Cui Minglang who he knew before, he hardly looked at anyone else.

"So, this is fate and nothing, lord." I smiled lightly, "I have appeared in front of you more than once, and the emperor has offered you a male concubine more than once, but you refused, didn't you? "

"Besides, I don't want to be your side concubine, ruining your marriage with Princess Nanyang." I closed my eyes and said slowly.

"Xiyan, it's not like this...Nanyang and I...we...you are the only one in my heart."

Li Xuruo seemed to have a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. He just looked at me in pain, "Xi Yan, are you and I really going to miss each other, miss this life?"

Xiyan, I haven't heard these two words for a long time.

"Xiyan is gone, my lord. The one in front of you is Xie Lingxi." I replied calmly.

"No, it doesn't matter whether you are Xiyan or Xie Lingxi, all I want is you, just you."

"My lord, if Xiyan was that day, maybe I could go with you, but today's Xie Lingxi will never leave the palace again." I sighed.

Li Xuruo shook his head, "No, I will ask Brother Huang, and he will agree. I know he has never favored you, and Brother Huang is not a manly man, so he will not want you."

Although this is a well-known fact, my heart still couldn't help but feel a little pain when he said it.

I have made so much effort, is Li Zhenrui still not attracted to me?

Brushing away the strange feeling in my heart, I replied with the usual calmness, "If the emperor agrees, I will go with you. If he does not, then we will call it a day."

"Xiyan, what you said made me feel that even if you are with me in the end, your heart is not with me." Li Xuruo took a deep look at me with bitterness in his eyes.

I smiled slightly, "My lord, the world is safe and secure, and I will not disappoint the Tathagata and not betray you." With a wave of my large sleeves, I paid him a final salute and left.

The entanglement between me and Li Xuruo is gone for me.

From the moment he decided to marry Nanyang Princess, it was already broken.

When I returned to Donghua Pavilion, it was already dark. I stood quietly at the door for a long time, but I didn’t enter. I just quietly looked at the sycamore tree in front of me in a trance.

Deliberately forgotten past events flashed before my eyes like a dream.

"Mother, what kind of place is this Misty Pavilion?"

"This is a place for men to have fun, but you don't want to come here in the future."

"Of course. Mother, are you here to find someone?"

"There is an old friend."

"Nishang, you are here."

"Luzhu, I didn't expect you to come to the capital from Yangzhou."

"You don't seem to be doing well here?"

"That's right. I thought Jinling City was a land of fireworks and willows, a land of prosperity and dreams, but I never thought..."

"Then what are your plans now?"

"I want to sell this store, so I just need to deal with a lot of tedious matters, and I still have a lot of debts, so it's difficult..."

"Luzhu, you are kind to me, and I will do my best to help you. It's just that I'm a soft-spoken person in the Xie Mansion, and I don't have much savings. You allow me a few days, and I will try my best to raise more."

"Nishang...thank you."

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring, Xi'er, you must remember it."

"Yes, mother."

"Aunt Lu, this is what my mother asked me to bring to you. Have you seen enough?"

"Enough is enough, this kind of heart is the most precious."

"It's not enough, is it?"

"It's...it's okay."

"Master Ling Xi, what's the matter?"

"If I become the top card of Piao Miao Xuan, will the business be better?"

"No, your mother knows that she must be mad at you to death, and your Xie family will never allow you to do this."

"I know, but Ling Xi also needs money."

"You take it, I really shouldn't ask for your silver anymore."

"Aunt Lu, I have a better idea."

Since then, Piao Miaoxuan has had a mysterious young master Xiyan.

This son is good at singing and dancing.

It's a pity that Mr. Xiyan doesn't pick up guests, and only stops at Misty Pavilion a few times a month, and the veil is blowing on his face, so it's hard to see his grace, which is quite regrettable.

Because of this, Misty Xuan's business is booming. Whenever the young master arrives, there will be no empty seats. Everyone wants to see the young master's face, which makes countless men and women admire him.

Everyone calls me: Mr. Xiyan.

Every time I come and go quietly, I think that everything is well hidden.

until one day--

"Xie Lingxi, you are so brave. If father finds out, I'm afraid you won't even know how you died!"

"This Piaomiao Token allows the second elder brother to freely enter and exit the Misty Pavilion, and the girls and officials in the building can be picked by you; or let father know that there will be no Misty Pavilion from now on."

"This... hey..."

"Where do we not meet in life, Mr. Lin—Mr. Xiyan, we meet again."

"My lord, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"You don't have to be so restrained outside, just call me Ziang."

"Zi'ang, what a good name."

"Xiyan's piano skills are truly unparalleled in the world."

"Zi'ang is full of praise."

"Xiyan, when will you take off your veil for me?"

"If there is a wishful man, he should take off his red clothes."

"Xiyan, the situation is turbulent now, I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you often."

"It's okay, the prince has a precious status, so he should be cautious."

"Hey, they are all my brothers, no matter which side they are on, they are all in the same embarrassment."

"My lord has always regarded himself as an idler, and he has no choice but to indulge in wine, sex, singing and music. It should be fine."

"I'm afraid there will be some troubles this time. The situation in Beijing has changed suddenly, and I am also struggling."

"Then what are your plans, my lord?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. I have always loved the Emperor, but I also respect the King of Qin. When the two compete, I don't know who will win."

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has 20 soldiers and horses in the southern region, and has great prestige. The victory of this battle has been decided."

"Oh? You think so?"

"I'm just guessing, if the prince wants to make a decision, he has to consider far more than Xiyan."

"Then you mean..."

"Serving the King of Qin, or avoiding the world."

"I understand."

"Xiyan, I haven't seen you in half a year."

"My lord is busy with business, so I didn't have to come here."

"I just missed you."

"How many people have you said this to, my lord?"

"This king speaks from the bottom of my heart."

"Now that the King of Qin has ascended the throne, and the prince is also out of the palace to build a mansion, it should be more free."

"Fortunately, it's just that the emperor's brother is on the Dabao for the first time, and there are still many things that need my help."

"My lord has worked hard."

"I'll see you often."

"Ah."

"Hush... tell me, is the prince interested in our Young Master Xiyan?"

"I think it's intentional, otherwise, why would the prince reserve the entire venue every time Mr. Xiyan comes?"

"But if he wanted to, why didn't the prince redeem himself for the young master?"

"This... I'm afraid the palace will not tolerate it."

"Hey, our son is really hard-pressed."

"Have you heard that a few days ago, the emperor issued an order to bestow a marriage for the prince."

"Marriage? Which son or miss?"

"It's the princess of Nanyang. I heard that the prince and the princess of Nanyang are married recently. It seems that good things are coming soon."

"No wonder our son is frowning, and the sound of the piano is also sad."

"Hey, it's better not to say it, it will be even more sad if the young master finds out."

"Xiaoxi, don't wait any longer, Prince Heng is marrying the princess of Nanyang today, he won't come."

"I know, Brother Mu."

"Xiaoxi, King Heng betrayed you, but I will always be by your side, how about marrying me?"

"Brother Mu, I have always regarded you as an elder brother, we..."

"Is it just brother? Wouldn't it be good to let me replace King Heng?"

"This... I can't do it."

"How do you want me to do it?"

"Brother Mu, emotional matters are beyond my control."

"Maybe when I come back from my studies, you will look at me differently."

"Brother Mu, actually..."

"Xi Yan, your piano sound fascinates me the most, and I never get tired of listening to it."

"Thank you, my lord, for your love."

"Why haven't seen you for a few days, have you become so unfamiliar?"

"The brothel red dust, how dare you meet the prince, you still have to be a little bit measured."

"What is this, why should I care so much about you? My heart for you, you..."

"My lord, don't say such things in the future, it's easy to be misunderstood by others."

"Why did you misunderstand, you are my best friend, and we will spend our whole lives drinking, playing the piano and playing music."

"I shouldn't spend my whole life in this brothel."

"Where are you going?"

"Under the east fence of picking chrysanthemum, you can see Nanshan leisurely."

"actually, I……"

"Ok?"

"No, nothing."
