Qi Yuanxiu · Self-cultivation

Jinyang

Miss Hanzhong's sedan chair has been delivered outside the city. The sedan chair of Hanzhong's family is very grand. It was carried out for sixteen times in a retest. When it arrived in Jinyang, the sedan chair was disassembled and it became eight. At this time, the prince of Jinyang must personally carry it. came out to greet.

The special envoy of Hanzhong was very dissatisfied, because the prince of Jinyang did not come out, but a man who looked like a minister was waiting here, which was regarded as neglect.

Wang Jian laughed together: "My lord is busy with business recently, so I will take Miss Liu into the city, please forgive me."

The special envoy of Hanzhong wanted to sneer, but was stopped by the voice in the sedan chair, "It doesn't matter, please lead the way."

It seems that Miss Liu is still a sensible person.

The whole city of Jinyang is actively preparing for the wedding. The red ribbons at the door of every household have been replaced by ribbons with phoenix patterns. Jinyang Mansion has already prepared thousands of altars of good wine. They also invited them over, back and forth, the Jinyang Prince's Mansion was lively every day.

Tomorrow is King Jinyang's wedding.

Shan Xuechen looked at the busy people on the street. When the lights came on, the bright red all over the city seemed to have some festive meaning. It was so bright red that it was as red as human blood. Everyone was so fulfilled, only his own heart was dry. It became a desert.

Shan Xuechen went to the small restaurant where he had dinner with Ju Mingzhi last time, and he even recognized him, and greeted him happily. He called a small jar of Nurhong, and took the jar with him after putting some money in it. Wine moves forward.

Daughter red, the dowry wine when the daughter gets married.

Good things are coming, Suzaku Street is extremely lively, others are chattering about other people's affairs, it has nothing to do with me, and I am still alone in the end, the palace must be very lively now, Ji Xiu must be correcting official documents all night again.

The Huoshen Temple is booming tonight, and it didn’t even close. Shan Xuechen hesitated for a moment, but he still didn’t have the nerve to let Huoshen Xingjun see his distraught state. Next to the Huoshen Temple is the Town God’s Temple, and the incense in the Town God’s Temple has no fire. The temple is so busy, and the Temple of the City God is closed. I heard from Wang Jian that if you invite the Master of the City God to have a glass of wine, the Lord of the City God will help you get rich. Shan Xuechen accidentally found that the door of the Temple of the City God was not locked, so he opened the door and walked in the courtyard. Sit quietly for a long time.

The pitch-black scene made people sink involuntarily. It was already Ji Xia, and the lonely chirping of cicadas in the yard seemed to be saying hello to him.

There is another world outside the wall.

With a 'creak' sound, the door was pushed open, and Shan Mi looked at Shan Xuechen distressedly.

"Uncle..." Shan Xuechen muttered, trying to pull out a smile.

Shan Mi has been paying attention to Shan Xuechen silently these days, Shan Mi sat beside Shan Xuechen, "Have you heard my story?"

Shan Xuechen shook his head.

"Actually, my real name is Ji Xiu."

"My lord Jinyang, it should be me."

The night light was like water, Zenya told the long story.

"I am the only son of Prince Jinyang. My eldest sister married to Beidu and became a concubine. My second sister married to Jinzhou and became a merchant's wife. I became the only child in the mansion when I was nine years old. According to the wheel of history, I will be the orthodox successor of King Jinyang."

"But when I was ten years old, a Taoist priest sent a child to the mansion. The Taoist priest talked with my father all night long. The next day my father sent the Taoist priest away with a pale face. I don't know. They talked about something, but two big things happened after that night."

"The first is the famous Taikang Rebellion. I'm sorry that I don't know much about this story. My father was very vigilant during that time. The second is that my father started to raise that child wholeheartedly."

"That child is called Qi Yuanxiu."

"My father told me that this poor child is the child of my eldest sister. My eldest sister was derogated by the emperor as a commoner because of court struggles. She ran all the way and died before she could go home. But this child survived miraculously. I feel sorry for this nephew. I have lost my mother since I was a child. How dark life must be. My mother passed away when I was young. I can understand that feeling. Compared with that child, I have two older sisters who love me, so I am 1 kind to this nephew."

"This child is like a piece of wood. Except for breathing, he has a dead face. He doesn't pay attention to the people around him at all. His father asked him to go to class next to him, and he went to practice martial arts when he asked him to practice martial arts. Except for his father, he didn't do anything for a month. I would say a word to others, and I thought to myself that this child is a pity, and my brain was stimulated to be stupid, but one day I found a strange smile on his face."

"I have always wanted to get in touch with this child, but I felt more and more terrifying about this child. When I told my father about it, my father was noncommittal. Gradually, I became estranged from this nephew."

"When I arrived at this year, the coming-of-age ceremony was delayed. I thought my father had forgotten it, so I didn't bring it up. Then I was 19, 20... When I was 22, I started to question my father, because at this time My father's health is not as good as before, he should rest, I will become King Jinyang to take over his burden, but."

Shan Mi smiled wryly and said: "At that time, I discovered a terrible thing. I am not Ji Xiu at all, and I am not a prince of Jinyang. My father has deliberately concealed my existence from the outside world for more than ten years. It was that child who appeared in front of everyone many times, and that child was Ji Xiu."

"This nephew of mine has been like a bamboo in the corner for more than ten years, quietly spreading his roots, hiding deep, young and mature, he is still cold-hearted, unable to say a word for a month, I felt scared when I saw it, so I hated him very much. My father said he was sorry for me, and he didn't expect me to forgive him. Qi Yuanxiu became Ji Xiu, so who is Ji Xiu? I was so angry that I began to break with this hypocritical family Well, two years ago, on the eve of Ji Xiu's canonization as King Jin, I ran away, and I swore I would never come back."

Shan Mi smiled, "But I am still back. If I win for a long time alone, I will definitely lose. I will wait for the day when Ji Xiu makes a fool of himself," Shan Mi continued, "But I admit that Ji Xiu is capable. I know more or less about this, but I still don't like him."

"His face is so cold, how cruel must he be?"

Shan Xuechen sighed and shook his head, "Actually, he is very bitter inside."

Such a sentence is like a firework blooming in the dark night.

Ji Xiu has been alone in the dark for so long, and he has been alone for so many years. If it wasn't for this country, who would want to make himself like this?With a cold face and a cold heart, all calculations are left in the world.

Zenya was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Zenya got up immediately, strode away without saying goodbye to Xiaobai.

Some things can still be saved, Shan Mi suddenly realized that he was thinking in the wrong direction on this matter, there are only a few hours before the wedding, and there should be still time.

Jinyang Palace

Ji Xiu Bingzhu corrected the official documents overnight. It was a long night, but it was only a few hours before the early morning of the next day.

A person came in from the door with light steps, "Why bother?"

Ji Xiu didn't even raise his head and said, "The boss of the next bowl is here, please forgive me that there is no time for greetings."

Wu tore off the mask on his face and smiled, "As expected of Qi Yuanxiu, it seems that you knew I was coming from the beginning." Qi Yuanhui was allowed to come to Jinyang this time, of course it was not that simple. With a fake face attached, he accompanied the little bastard to see his brother get married.

Of course Qi Yuanhui didn't know about this.

Ji Xiu's hands were still speeding up his review of the official document, "Should I call you sister-in-law now?"

Hearing this, Wu laughed out loud, without any rules, and the branches of his laughter trembled wildly, "King Jinyang made a big joke," Wu continued, "I'm on top, what order is it, King Jinyang?" It’s better to figure it out.”

Ji Xiu smiled.

"I guess," Wu casually opened a document folder, on which Ji Xiu wrote the solution densely in teeny lowercase letters, "Prince Jinyang worked so hard tonight instead of going to accompany Meijiao Niang, it must have happened in the early morning." Take your sweetheart and get out of here."

Ji Xiu didn't want to discuss this topic with him.

Wu continued: "Does the Liu family in Hanzhong know that you are so heartless and ungrateful?"

Wu sighed, now it is Xu time, and in two hours the whole city will formally start the wedding ceremony, after two hours, the bridegroom-to-be will disappear, Wu sighed from the heart: "Why bother? "

Ji Xiu still ignored him, and wanted to finish all the big and small incidents in Jinyang before the early morning, so that he could hand over the work.

"You're gone, what about Jinyang City?" Wu couldn't help scolding, "Who are you handing over such a big place to?"

not my business.

"King Jinyang is really selfish and ruthless! You haven't changed a bit from before!"

Ji Xiu didn't want to refute him.

"When you leave, what will your ministers do? Gao Bing, Wang Jian, and He Min, they are all outstanding talents. They pin the hope of the country on you. If you leave like this, what should they do?" What should we do? Xinzhou has followed Jinyang, but Jinyang's master is such a toss-and-go person, what will Xinzhou think? Qi Yuanhui has found you as a relative with great difficulty for more than ten years. He hopes that you can revitalize this country. You left him What a disappointment."

Ji Xiu raised his head, and his voice was as calm as water: "Did the boss of Xiawan take the wrong medicine? You are so upright."

Wu said: "I took a lot of detours before... I was also very obsessed with something... I hated your Qi family... But then I thought about it, life is only a few dozen years, and indifferent hatred is just wasting life , Life is not long, how lucky it is to meet the person I love, I came here this time mainly to hand over the bowl to you, I have done too many sins before, now I understand, I am not suitable to lead This country, Xiawancheng will be destroyed by me sooner or later."

Ji Xiu frowned deeply, but still didn't speak.

"Life is short for a few decades, don't leave any regrets for yourself, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, love when you should love, there is no point in suppressing yourself, I know you like Shan Xuechen as much as I do I like Qi Yuanhui, we live a difficult life, we have to bear all kinds of external pressure, and we have to face our own inner confusion."

"I finally found the person in my life, but I was told that I had to leave him. If it was me, I might have done more extreme things than you."

"The little bastard looked down on me before, because I was Xiahou Yiqing's little husband-in-law. He said something that touched me deeply. No matter how nice Xiahou Yiqing was to me, I was still a little girl. Because I am a man, the benefactor , Xiahou Yiqing doesn't love me at all, if he loves me, he will put me in an equal position with him, Lord Hou must marry a wife, and the ancestral hall of Xiahou's family does not allow a man to enter."

"He didn't sound good, but I also understand the truth, and I don't blame him," Wu said with a gentle face, "Ji Xiu, even if you and Shan Xuechen run away, where can you go? You who left the Jinyang Palace Not even Qi Yuanxiu, if Shan Xuechen knew that you gave up more things for him, Shan Xuechen would probably die of guilt."

Ji Xiu stopped correcting the official documents.

"That's the end of the story," Wu put down the official document in his hand, and walked out, a ghostly voice flooded into Ji Xiu's ears, "Qi Yuanxiu, my real name is Yuan Wuguo, and my father is a former court official. Minister of the Ministry, Yuan Zhengnan, Wang Jian knows me, our two families are family friends, his family and mine were assigned to Yumen Pass, I met you once in the northern capital..."

Even though it was summer, it was still a bit cold late at night. After sitting in the courtyard of the Town God's Temple for a long time, Shan Xuechen felt a little dizzy, and fell straight down, on top of a person.

A very familiar smell permeated into the nose.

Shan Xuechen's eyes widened.

Ji Xiu looked at him.

There seemed to be a long silence, the two looked at each other not knowing what to say, finally Shan Xuechen broke the silence: "Are you okay."

"Ah."

Then there was another silence, "Wangfei will be here soon."

In the silence, there was the sound of a shift, and it was already the time of the next day. At this time, the princess should be sent from Zhuque Street to the Jinyang Palace amidst the roar of salutes.

Ji Xiu hesitated for a long time before letting out a sigh from his throat, not knowing why.

"Congratulations," Shan Xuechen smiled.

Ji Xiu shook his head, and said two words lightly with his mouth.

Shan Xuechen burst into tears.

Those two characters are white toad, the white toad of the white toad flower.

The salute began to roar, people were eager to find Prince Jinyang, and the whole palace was in chaos.

He Min and Wang Jian were exhausted physically and mentally, while Gao Bing had already left for Beidu three days ago.

The Xiawan bodyguard in Yifeng Building hugged the sleeping Qi Yuanhui and looked at the moon outside the window. He was doomed not to sleep tonight.
