The Legend of Nanshan Jun

In Shili Fireworks Lane, drunken guests spend their time.

In the wine in the Xunhuan Building, lovesickness can never be forgotten.

The Xunhuan Tower, which stands on the street with Misty Pavilion, is the most famous small hall in Jinling City.

Green bamboo attics, light gauze tents, princes and grandchildren, there is an endless stream.

Sitting in the private room upstairs, my eyes fell on the Misty Pavilion opposite.

Since being patronized by an official a few days ago, the number of customers in the Xuanzhong has decreased a lot, but the Xunhuan Building opposite has been filled, and it is full of people.

But no matter how noisy the downstairs was, there was silence in the private room, and I was the only one drinking tea quietly.

Rhythmic footsteps gradually came from downstairs, and as the door of the room opened, a tall figure appeared in front of him.

"You're here." I put down my tea, raised my head and smiled at the visitor.

The person who came was wearing a navy blue brocade robe and a white crown on his head. He had an outstanding temperament, but his smile was less serious and more cynical. It was He Lianjun, the king of Beiliang who had just ascended the throne.

He was shaking the gold-painted folding fan, paced slowly in the room, but looked at me with interest.

"Mr. Nanshan who is the head of the four gentlemen of Nanxia, ​​Mr. Xiyan who is astonishingly talented in Piaomiaoxuan, Xie Wuhuan who is afraid of everyone and ghosts in the Xunhuan Building..." His eyes fell on the raised abdomen, his expression froze for a moment, Then raised his usual smile, "What should I call you?"

I smiled back, and only spit out three words, "Xie Wuhuan."

"Okay." He put away his folding fan and sat across from me.

He Lianjun stared at my face for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "I said...you can't take off the mask?"

"Even if you are a peerless beauty, seeing your face now would give me nightmares at night." He Lianjun's face was full of complaints.

I smiled lightly, "Then I can only ask the emperor to forgive me, I always show people in this way in the building."

He Lianjun turned his face away in distress, and had no choice but to stare at the beauty in the Misty Pavilion opposite to purify his eyes.

"The emperor should have already guessed the purpose of my inviting you to Nanxia?" I took a sip of tea and said slowly.

He Lianjun kept looking out of the window, and said to himself, "You said why Jinling has become so guarded now... If I hadn't submitted my credentials a month ago, your emperor might be There's no time for me."

He raised his lips and said with an evil smile, "Look at the noise, if you don't know someone, you think someone has lost their daughter-in-law and they are looking everywhere."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at me pointingly, "But the daughter-in-law of that family is having a secret meeting with other men at the moment... Tsk tsk, I think King Xia will be furious if he finds out, and the seven orifices will make smoke, haha..."

Facing He Lianjun's teasing, I raised my lips slightly.If it is Yi Ruoshui's temperament, it is estimated that he has already greeted him with a punch; if it is Xi Yan, he will laugh it off; and for Xie Wuhuan, this is undoubtedly a kind of compliment.

Seeing that I didn't react too much, He Lianjun felt bored, and stopped wasting time making fun of him. He straightened his expression and said, "Why do you think that I will risk offending King Xia to help you escape?"

I smiled calmly, "I thought the emperor already had an answer to this question on the way here."

He Lianjun shook his fingers and blinked at me, "But I suddenly changed my mind. The chaos in Nanxia is certainly good, and I am also happy to be able to get along with a beauty like you... But if King Xia finds out, I will Isn't it worth the loss?"

He stood up and shook his head, with a hint of shrewdness in his joking eyes, "I won't do this business without favor."

I replied unceremoniously, "Do you think you can get Beiliang's safety without offending Li Zhenrui?"

"In the current situation of the Three Kingdoms, Nanxia's hegemony is already an indisputable matter. Northern Liang and Western Qin cannot compete with it. If you rely on Nanxia, ​​you can only guarantee temporary peace. Only by uniting with Western Qin can you compete for a long time."

I smiled lightly at He Lianjun, "Your lips are dead and your teeth are cold, the emperor understands this truth, right?"

He Lianjun straightened his expression, "Even so, how did you know that King Xia would be unfavorable to Beiliang..."

I smiled silently and didn't answer his words.

Li Zhenrui not only has the desire to dominate, especially when the other two countries are weaker than Nanxia.

He Lianjun would not fail to understand.

And only by separating the relationship between Nanxia and Beiliang, can I gain the strength to fight against Li Zhenrui.

He Lianjun rested his chin on his left hand, tapped the table with his right hand, tilted his head and asked, "I have said so much, but I still haven't seen half of the favor!"

I raised my head and raised my eyebrows at him, "Nanshan Jun, whom King Xia loves, is in the hands of the emperor, isn't this favor enough?"

He Lianjun rolled his eyes, put away the folding fan, "deal."

I nodded and watched He Lianjun leave.

The moment he stepped out the door, he suddenly turned his head and gave me a wicked smile, "Beauty, since your fate with King Xia is over, how about being my beloved concubine?"

"I promise to love you well." After he finished speaking, he winked at me, then left with a smile.

I ignored his teasing and drank the tea in my cup, feeling a bit bitter inexplicably.

Such words seem familiar.

But the promise was not fulfilled.

Cheng Shaozhi came in to refill my tea, looked out the window, and said worriedly, "My lord, it's too risky for you to come out today in search of pregnant women in Jinling City."

I turned around and faced him, "It's okay, no one will recognize me now."

Seeing that he managed the Xunhuan Building well, I couldn't help being very relieved, "Wuhuan, I didn't misunderstand the person, and you didn't disappoint me."

Cheng Shaozhi bowed his head and said with a smile, "That is also the trust and cultivation of the young master wholeheartedly."

Having said that, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands outside the door, and then five or six handsome young men came in slowly.

"According to the young master's order, these are the handsome and intelligent young ladies in the building, for the young master to send."

I got up and walked slowly in front of them, calmly said, "Look up."

Those teenagers looked up one by one, looking at me with curiosity and surprise in their eyes.

"Is it clear what I want you to do?" I asked.

These people nodded in unison and assured me, "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely be able to complete the task."

"it is good."

The person Cheng Shaozhi picked would not be wrong, I nodded reassuringly, and gave them careful instructions before letting them leave.

Looking out the window, it was almost time.

Looking at Cheng Shaozhi who was still standing beside me, I couldn't help saying softly, "I will work hard on you in the future, I... may not come again."

Cheng Shao took a step forward, with worried eyes, and finally nodded solemnly, "Young master, take care."

I patted him on the shoulder and left the Xunhuan Building through the secret passage.

The secret passage ended in a big house, and when I came out of the house, it was a crowded market.

There are people coming and going in the market, I walked carefully on the road, looking at the people's livelihood, I was filled with emotion.

This is not the first time for me to go to the market, but it seems that many years have passed since the last time I visited the market in Beiliang Huailu.

I would never have imagined today.

Li Zhenrui almost bought the whole street for me that day.

At that time, he and I were just like ordinary couples walking on the street now.

But in the blink of an eye, things have changed.

He is no longer with me.

"Miss, you are pregnant now, why did you come out?"

The slightly familiar voice made me stagnate, thinking that I had heard it wrong.

My heart beat uncontrollably, and I followed the sound in a trance, only to see a strange young man walking towards the door.

I woke up with some regrets, and it turned out that I had heard it wrong.

"It's getting cold, and I want to add a new dress to my husband." The young woman standing at the door held a dress, lowered her eyebrows and smiled.

"Next time, don't run around, you will worry about your husband." The man warned, but there was only tenderness in his words.

"Okay, listen to your husband." The woman smiled gently.

The man entered the door with his wife in his arms and disappeared from my sight.

I was stunned for a moment before I came back to my senses.He lowered his head and moved slowly, his body was as heavy as lead, and he felt that the road ahead became more and more difficult to walk.

I don't know who whispered in my ear, "I'm afraid this little lady will give birth soon?"

I turned my head and saw an old lady with a kind face.

"Yes, Mammy."

She glanced at me and asked curiously, "Why don't you see your husband by your side? Isn't it hard to walk with such a big belly?"

The caring eyes kept looking at me, "Look at your thin body, you don't look like a pregnant person."

Facing all these questions, I replied with some difficulty, "My husband...is busy."

"No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of your own wife." The old lady was puzzled.

My nose gradually became sore, and every word I spoke seemed to be a heart-wrenching pain.

"My husband has other wives, I'm just a concubine..."

"Oh..." She showed a clear expression, and sighed again, "Whether it is a wife or a concubine, once you marry into the family, you should take good care of it!"

"What Mammy said is true. My husband..." I nodded, wanted to smile but couldn't, wanted to explain but halfway through speaking, tears fell, without any sign.

It took a long time before I choked up and said, "My husband...don't want me anymore."

"Hey, I only hear the newcomers laughing, but not the old ones crying!" She sighed, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into my hand, "Wipe, little lady, don't cry, take care, little lady!"

"Thank you Mammy." I covered my face with my handkerchief.

Never before, in front of a stranger, have I been so involuntary, so vulnerable.

"Old man, let's go, what are you looking at." The old lady walked to the other side and pulled out her wife who was about to enter the restaurant.

"Hey, you old woman, you are so strict, the old man won't let you drink if you want." His wife complained rather dissatisfied.

The old lady took out a jug of wine and put it in his hand, and said simply, "I want to drink it at home."

His wife looked happy, held the wine carefully, and smiled happily, "Haha, it's better to be an old woman."

The two disappeared into the sunset hand in hand.

My gaze was fixed on their receding figures for a long time.

... At that moment, I burst into tears.

Thinking of the wedding night, I leaned in his arms, full of hope for the future, and blushed and said to him, "Husband, hold your hand and grow old together with you."

In the end, I was walking alone.

Love, love, love is all a dream in the end.

For me, what hurt me the most was not that he abandoned our child, it wasn't that he trampled my dignity underfoot, it wasn't that he found another love...

I am willing to stand in the same boat with him, overcome difficulties for him, and sacrifice everything for him.

Even if I abandon my self-esteem, even if I lose the sky of freedom, even if I am abandoned by him like a shoe, I still love him hopelessly...

However, what I can't bear is that he never loved me from the beginning to the end.

Everything I did turned out to be a ridiculous dream, how could I still have the courage to survive, how could I survive in a world with him?

The world hurt me the most, not as ruthless as Li Zhenrui from the beginning to the end.

My heart misses my beloved husband, who never loved me before.

The ridiculous past is like the poison that erodes the bones, and what erodes the vicissitudes of the heart.
