Great Zhou Empress

When she really started to learn, Yuan Hanzhang was very fast and efficient, enough to meet her before? It's just impatient to learn these things, it's not impossible.

The two of them were still strolling on the street, saying what they saw, and asking for purchases when they saw something novel. Yuan Hanzhang's big food language progressed very quickly.

Ayila found the two white skirts Yuan Hanzhang bought last time, and strongly demanded to go out in them. Yuan Hanzhang couldn't, so he could only let her go, and the two dressed like locals and walked on the street.

Bagoda lives in a prosperous life, so the security conditions are also very good. They have received envious eyes from everyone along the way, like two peonies from a distant country, illuminating the entire city of Bagoda.

The two met the Prince Bagota who loves to do research on the street. It is estimated that the last time he attended his seminar, Aylati’s plan made him think for a long time. Later, Ayla always refused to go to the appointment again. , He heard that the two were in love with going to the street recently, so he went to the street to block Ayila, wanting to argue with her again.

Ayila wanted to tell the prince that it was inconvenient now, she was on a date, but she didn't want the prince to come out with his new math formula in his hand, which caught Ayila's attention.

Yuan Hanzhang naturally understood the attraction of these things to Ayila, and she was not the one who was so jealous, so she smiled at Ayila and said, "You guys have a chat here, and I'll sit over there for a while." Son."

There is a step not far away, and the river wharf is at the bottom of the step. Yuan Hanzhang went to the edge of the step and sat down.

The scenery here is very good, and the Mesopotamia is always sunny. Sitting on the top of the steps, watching the sun shine on the wide river surface, with sparkling waves, is actually very comfortable.

However, Ayila discussed the formula with the prince for too long, Yuan Hanzhang unconsciously looked up, and under the sun, the two of them made her feel like a golden girl.

She knew she shouldn't have such thoughts, but what to do, Ayila and the prince stood together, and they really matched each other. Extremely outstanding, the prince is also descended from generations of noble blood, and his appearance is also good.In addition, they are also similar in age, and the appearance of seriously discussing issues together is really inexplicably harmonious.

Yuan Hanzhang took a deep breath and turned his head.

Finally, Ayila came out of her academic discussion, sent the prince away, and came to find Yuan Hanzhang.

Yuan Hanzhang smiled at her, said nothing, and the two continued to move forward? They went to a restaurant and ate some local food.

Not long after, the prince came to look for Ayla again, saying that there was an ancient ruin outside the city of Bagota, where many ancient clay tablets were unearthed, and he wanted to ask Ayla to study it together.

Ayila was naturally excited, and Yuan Hanzhang agreed to go with her.

The ruins were in a desert. Several people took a carriage and changed camels, and walked for a long time in the desert.

There are many people digging and sorting out the ruins. The prince said that since he discovered the ruins, he has arranged for people to block off the surrounding area, so that the ruins must be completely excavated.

Yuan Hanzhang was able to understand the prince's words at this time, and she had to admire the prince, not only a person who loves research, but also very rigorous in doing things.

Yuan Hanzhang felt a little uncomfortable feeling that he was getting to know the prince and was trying to find his strengths, as if he was looking for a better match for Ayila.

A lot of square clay tablets were unearthed in that ruins. The characters written on the clay tablets in the form of reed sticks are called cuneiform characters according to their shape.

"This kind of writing was lost about a thousand years ago," said the prince, "but this kind of writing has recorded the history of our country for about 3000 years. I once collected some clay tablets like this and deciphered the meaning of some of the writing. .”

These cuneiform characters are somewhat similar to the Dashi characters of this era, but they are also different. It can be said to be a lost ancient character.

This kind of textual research exists in all cultures. When Yuan Hanzhang was in the Central Plains, he saw many people who were keen on textual research. In ancient times, the royal family had engraved characters on tortoise shells and bronze vessels. In the past, when she was free in the palace I will also enjoy it, but I really don't have so much effort to study it all the time.

The textual research of this other language is really too difficult for a person like Yuan Hanzhang who can just understand this language.

However, there are still many murals in this ruins. They went down to the ruins and saw a lot of pictures depicting the life style at that time. Ayila and the prince were going to speculate on the content of the clay tablets based on these murals.

That night, they rested in a tent near the ruins.

During the day, Ayila went to study the characters on the clay tablets with the prince. Yuan Hanzhang sometimes went with them, and sometimes went to the ruins to see the murals by himself.

The form of murals in this place is very different from those in the Central Plains. The structure of the paintings and the way of depicting characters are completely different. Yuan Hanzhang found some fun.

In this way, after a few days, Ayila and the others had some phased results. Ayila was very happy. When lying in bed at night, Ayila would tell Yuan Hanzhang what they found now. .

"Two words appear most often in the text, one is 'star' and the other is 'God?', it seems that the ancient people worshiped a very bright star, that star is as bright as the sun during the day and as bright as the moon at night , I’m really curious what kind of star it is.”

Seeing the light in Ayila's eyes, Yuan Hanzhang smiled softly and listened quietly.

Finally, the trip was over and they returned to Baghdad.

The prince still invites Ayla to his mansion for further research from time to time, and he has moved all the items of that relic into his mansion.

Yuan Hanzhang asked Ayila to go every time, and Ayila went several times.

Until one time, the prince sent Ayila back in person. At that time, Yuan Hanzhang happened to be sitting on the balcony reading a book. She could already understand the words of Dashi. Food history and culture books.

Then, she heard the prince confess his love to Ayla.

Yuan Hanzhang's heart finally sank heavily.

When Ayila came up, Yuan Hanzhang came in from the balcony.

Ayila knew that Yuan Hanzhang didn't like her being contaminated by the outside atmosphere, so she went to the bathroom to clean it immediately.

When she came out, Ayila saw Yuan Hanzhang was sitting quietly on a bench against the wall, watching her quietly.

She walked over, sat down beside Yuan Hanzhang, and said, "I'm back? I just rejected the other party's invitation, and I won't go to his seminar anymore."

Yuan Hanzhang's expression was very calm, "Why don't you go, isn't it your favorite research?"

Ayla shook her head and said, "I've done some research, so I should study the telescope carefully."

Yuan Hanzhang looked at Ayila with a serious expression and said, "Actually, I have heard what the prince said to you just now, and I think he is quite suitable for you, regardless of his status, appearance, or knowledge. You are lucky, although you are from Dazhou, but your ancestors have the royal blood of a certain country in Dashi, so you are respected here, and his parents should also agree."

Ayila was shocked, "Yuxiu, what are you talking about?"

"I'm saying, if you want to stay in Dashi, stay in Bagota," Yuan Hanzhang's face gradually condensed, "I'm not a pushy person, and I have been paying attention to him these days, he is obsessed with research, He doesn't have any bad habits, and there is no concubine at home, so he should be sincere to you, if you like him too."

Didn't Yuan Hanzhang finish speaking? Ayila interrupted her, "Yuxiu, why did you push me away? It's his business that he likes me? But I don't like him."

"You don't have to worry about me," Yuan Hanzhang's voice became colder and colder, "Don't worry, I'm ready, and I will leave Bagota tomorrow and go back to the Central Plains. Although I have changed my identity, I can't go back? It was in the past, but I don’t want to go back to the past? I will find a manor in the countryside, raise a few more children, and live the rest of my life like an idler.”

"Yuxiu, you?" Ayila was shocked.

Lying on the bed, Yuan Hanzhang turned his back to Ayila, Ayila seemed to have returned to a long, long time ago, when Yuan Hanzhang seemed to be in two worlds.

The tacit understanding she had cultivated with Yuan Hanzhang over the years seemed to have disappeared, and she didn't even know what language to use to communicate with Yuan Hanzhang.

After a long time, Ayla went to the bathroom.

How could Yuan Hanzhang sleep, and how could it be so easy to push his lover away?

But these days, Yuan Hanzhang felt that maybe he restricted Ayila's freedom.

There seemed to be a sound of sobbing in the bathroom, Yuan Hanzhang pursed his lips, and finally sat up, unable to suppress the distress in his heart, and walked over.

Opening the door, Yuan Hanzhang saw Ayila sitting pitifully in the corner, saw her push open the door, raised her eyes, her face was full of pear blossoms and rain.

Yuan Hanzhang's whole body softened into a puddle of water, wishing he could go over to hug her and coax her immediately, but she held back, walked over, and sat down next to Ayila.

"Stop crying, okay, your voice should be hoarse."

The tears added to Ayla's bright face a bit of pity, as if a beauty like her should be hugged and cared for instead of being allowed to cry alone here.

"Yuxiu, in your eyes, the years we've been together are nothing?"

Yuan Hanzhang didn't dare to look at her, afraid that he couldn't help hugging her, "It's a very rare life, and it's the happiest years I've lived in the past few decades. It's like drinking Mengpo soup and going through life and death The boundaries, live again."

Ayla's breathing became heavy, and she asked tremblingly, "Then why, still? Push me away?"

Yuan Hanzhang finally couldn't help looking at her, and tried to control himself and said, "I think, if you do this, you will live a happier and more free life."

Ayla bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with sadness.

Ayila leaned over and wanted to kiss Yuan Hanzhang's lips, but Yuan Hanzhang turned his face away, allowing Ayila to kiss him empty.

Ayila became more and more sad, crying and asked, "Yuxiu, why?"

"What you want is to explore the ultimate secret of this world, but I cannot accompany you."
