Cinderella: The Legend of Yunhua

I looked back step by step, thinking that after this parting, there is only one last chance left for me in this world to meet you.Heart still hurts.

You seem to be able to see all my secret unease and bewilderment.I saw you making a Yaoqin with your bare hands, sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said softly, "Yunhua, let me play the piano for you and lead you on your way."

The clear and clear sound flowed into my heart like gurgling water, and there was a hint of emptiness and deep thought in the rhyme of the piano. From this rhyme, I heard your heartfelt voice for the first time.

I seem to understand your struggles, confusion, your interests, and beliefs...

It's a pity that I can't turn back, I can no longer tell the direction of the wind after I entered the tunnel, I can only save those intimate words to comfort you in my heart and tell you when I meet in the next life...

In the third life, I voted as the general family.As the son of a general, 20 years of hard training in the cold and heat, in exchange for a suit of armor, he fought with my father in the north and south, and made great military exploits.

At the age of 28, my father passed away unfortunately during the battle, and was rewarded by the emperor. I inherited my father's title of Marquis and became an important military minister of the court.

In the next three years, I fought against foreign invasions in the north, turmoil in Nanping feudal lords, and made extraordinary achievements repeatedly in the bloody storm.Although the emperor has promoted me many times, he gradually became wary.In order to win people's hearts, on the next year's Lantern Festival, at the palace banquet, the emperor suddenly announced that he wanted to betroth his eldest princess to me and form an marriage relationship.

When I heard the words, I put down the wine cup and knelt down on my knees, stating my loyalty to the emperor and serving the country: "Thank you for your kindness, but there are still worries inside and outside, and the country is restless for a day, so I will devote myself to defending my family and defending the country. The soldiers and horses Career, fighting all the year round, if there is any chance, the head will fall to the ground, there is no time to worry about the private relationship of the children, I am afraid that the eldest princess will be neglected, and I ask the emperor to take it back..."

The emperor got up and walked down the steps, glanced at me with a cold face, and helped me up, "The general is not young, although state affairs are important, but he doesn't know the truth of family and everything? How can the country be stable when the family is uncertain? Important minister, three generations of generals, how can I be willing to watch your Xu family lose its incense?"

"Your majesty—this subject inherits my father's behest, and I only want to serve the court. As for the marriage, I don't have the heart to think about it for the time being!" I have been thinking about it for so many years, and I only remember your appearance, your gentle smile, and the palm of your hand. temperature, teach me how to sleep with a woman?

These words, look at the world, who do I talk to?

It was just a cover-up but it offended Longyan, and they broke up unhappy.Marriage, this is hanging in the middle, can't go up, can't go down.The emperor seemed to deliberately manipulate me, he neither said to cancel the engagement, nor urged me any more, so the matter was shelved in such a casual manner.

In less than half a month, the rumors about my marriage contract with the eldest princess in the capital are already rampant.Colleagues also spread word of mouth, and they spoke to me in various ways, pushing me to the forefront.

Some people say: Xu’s family is full of loyalty and loyalty. General Xu lost his father at a young age. Chinese talents.

Some people said: General Xu was born with unparalleled beauty and elegance, and I don't know how many noble ladies have secretly expressed their hearts to him.Yurong, the daughter of a university scholar, is his cousin, she grew up with him, she must be a childhood sweetheart, her love is stronger than gold, General Xu tried his best to refuse the marriage contract that day, but to stick to her friendship with Yurong, she is a kind person.It's a pity that the eldest princess was born as beautiful as a flower, but it's not the right time to meet...

Others said: General Xu is suave and suave, so he must be the guest in the willow alley on Huajie Street. What kind of woman has never seen it before.Moreover, he is in a high position at a young age, and he has a bit of arrogance. He must be extremely disdainful of clinging to the rich and powerful to make the icing on the cake. He will also refuse the emperor's marriage if it is only for his own comfort and happiness...

There are all kinds of rhetoric, and at this moment, it is obvious that people's words are scary.

People in the world have different opinions, but who can understand the secret in my heart?

Ying Ji.

Ying Ji.

Yingji...

I studied ink and began to paint, locked myself in the study room, and over and over again, painted the scene of Hexu Mountain meeting you, and over and over again, painted the feeling of parting from you in Wangchuan River...

We can only meet each other at this critical moment of life and death. After so many years, the more we see each other, the more we miss each other, the more we miss, the more we want to see each other...

Yingji... Do you also suddenly think of me who made a promise with you for three lifetimes in this world at a certain moment?

I, as small as a speck of dust, am just a moment in the world of mortals to you, but I am silently loving you with all my emotions and heart, do you know this?

……

Between the court, the middle and the countryside, there are more and more rumors about my marriage contract with the eldest princess.

Your majesty seems to have secretly allowed this wanton wind, allowing the smoke to fill between me and him.

In the past, the trust between the monarch and his ministers faded away, and I suddenly realized that the emperor used the marriage contract to test me, but it was just to test whether I had the intention of seizing power.That's right, I have made great achievements many times, I hold great power, and I have many subordinates. If I separate myself from one side, I will definitely become his thorn in the side.A trial marriage is nothing but a double-edged sword, whether it succeeds or fails, the one who cuts me is myself.

Although the eldest princess is his daughter and above the political power, she is just a chess game in his hands. If she plays well, she will say it well. If she plays badly, she is an abandoned child. One wave after another.

I remembered what my father told me before his death that day: being with you is like being with a tiger, your heart is unpredictable, you need to be careful in everything, and the safety of the 130 or [-] members of your family must be the most important thing at all times.

I can't help but be willful...

After thinking about it several times, I came to the palace compound and stayed outside the palace for three hours, and was able to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have disobeyed the Emperor before, and it was because I was too arrogant. Now, I have figured it out. Family harmony and everything will prosper. A gentleman should set up his family and rule the country and the world. The family is the most important thing. The eldest princess is virtuous and virtuous. Xiuwaihuizhong, it is a gentleman who loves his heart wholeheartedly, thanks to the emperor who thinks highly of his ministers, if he does not see abandonment, the ministers dare to beg the emperor to betroth the eldest princess to his ministers..." I hit my knees on the ground and said this long paragraph of insincere words in a muffled voice.

Just in line with the emperor's wishes, he came to help me up with a smile, "My love, what I like is that you have a noble heart. Now that the world is going downhill, there are also filth in the government and the opposition. You are as clean and upright as you are." The subject is the person I rely on the most, and in the future, I will still need to rely on you for the important task of bringing peace and stability to the country, Eldest Princess, I entrust Aiqing to take good care of me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." I walked out of the hall exhausted physically and mentally.

On the third day of March, Queen Mother of the West's birthday is suitable for marriage and housewarming.

——It's my wedding day.

Our General's Mansion is full of people, and there is an endless stream of guests coming and going.

The emperor sent his personal eunuch Wang Gonggong to my mansion to present the marriage call and imperial gifts.

In the process of changing cups, I came to the new house deliberately drunk. After drinking the cup of wine, I lifted the red hijab and saw the eldest princess in a phoenix crown and xiapei looking at me shyly and shyly. There is a lack of a piece of elegant dust that belongs to you alone.

I turned my face away, and left the new house with an excuse to get drunk and messed up. In the study, I fell asleep holding your scroll.

The eldest princess is a gentle and virtuous woman. I was newly married for half a month, and I used excuses to get away every night, not to perform Zhou Gong's rituals with her. Although she was secretly sad, she never said much. She took care of her daily life with her own hands and treated me meticulously.

This woman, in her heart, must also be - very bitter.

I looked at you in the painting and muttered to myself.

In this life, I have failed her...

The loneliness of married life tortured her and suppressed me. On that day, she broke into my study in the middle of the night, snatched the painting from my hand, and cried, "General... I... General, don't you love me?"

I looked at my wife who was heartbroken, and my conscience was whipped. Yes, she is so innocent. In the heart of the emperor, she is just a pawn, which can be used or discarded.While I hated this ruthless political trick, I didn't hesitate to use her as a pawn, turning a blind eye to her life and ignoring her emotions.

She lifted up her sleeves, and shone the palace guard sand in front of my eyes, "General—I'm going to the palace tomorrow to meet my mother, what does the general want me to say?" As she spoke, two lines of tears shed silently.

I walked over and held her silently in my arms. She is a good wife, but I hurt her because of my own selfishness.

That night, when the breeze swayed, she lit a cloud of incense for me. In the cloud of curtains and curtains, it was she who lightly untied the blouse, it was her bright wrists and bright eyes, it was her wanting to refuse but still welcoming, it was her intractable love sorrow in spring.

One night's sleep was too short for her, but actually too long for me.

At dawn the next day, she picked up the quilt and got up, looking at the red flower on the bed sheet, she blushed with embarrassment.

That charming appearance is really charming, but I think of the bunch of peach blossoms that I put my heart and blood on before I died that year, isn't it just so bright red?

……

Speaking of it, life is too short. Back then, when you continued my life, I was willing to come to this world to be punished.

Repay the third generation, just to be worthy of your kindness.

Today, I will go to the palace with the eldest princess to face the saint, and please entrust me to go to the north.

The emperor readily agreed.

Farewell to the eldest princess's smoldering and tearful face, I led a group of brothers to trek through mountains and rivers, and came to the border to set up camp.

Only here, seeing the vast sky, can I remember the beauty of your unrestrained style.

Your bewilderment, your bewilderment, and all the inner voices that you have analyzed in the sound of the piano, after three lives, I seem to understand a little better today.

Some feelings, some things.

always backfires.

but.

have to.

is not it?

How can one easily determine a person's true nature based on right and wrong, merit and demerit?

The desolation of your eyes that year, is it also related to this?

I seem to have understood you suddenly. Facing a painting, I understood you in the tenderness of the three-life companionship, and understood you spiritually.

I lead the army to go out, no matter the wind, knife and autumn frost, I rush day and night, tossing around in various battlefields, just to stay away from the world, open up my own battlefield, and pursue a romantic relationship with you with my heart.

The next year, the eldest princess gave birth to Lin'er, whom I named Nianying.

The eldest princess suffered from lovesickness, collapsed due to childbirth, suffered from serious diseases, and died soon after.

I buried her with my own hands, and at the court, when the emperor discussed marriage again, I expressed my heart - the Eldest Princess is equally kind to me, and I swear that I will only take the Eldest Princess as my wife in this life, and will not remarry in my life.In the future, he will devote himself to raising the dog and live up to the entrustment of the eldest princess.

Because of this, I have gained another good reputation in the capital.

Because of this, the emperor became more wary of me, and proposed many times to bring Nianying to the palace and be raised by his grandmother.

It was the deep winter of the year, and I had no choice but to take Nianying to the outside of the Great Wall to open up territories for the royal family under the emperor's repeated temptations. After 15 years of going there, I achieved a lot of victories, but my temples were white and my face was vicissitudes. That romantic general who is famous all over the capital.

Fortunately, Nianying grew up safely by my side, with a heroic appearance, vaguely, with a little gentle temperament, just like you, is it because I miss you too much?

In the spring of next year, I was forty and three years old, and I was still lamenting that the spring was as cold as before. In a surprise attack, I was shot by the enemy's sword in the shoulder and fell off the horse. I didn't know that the arrow was poisoned, and there was no way to solve it in China. It's life and death again.

In this life, my military career has long put life and death aside.Now, Nianying has grown up and is someone I can entrust with important responsibilities, and I have nothing to worry about.

Before dying, I lay on the couch and asked Nianying, "Yinger, are the peach blossoms blooming on the other side of the mountain?"

"Father..." How did Nianying understand.

"Ying'er, if the peach blossoms bloom, I will bury my father under the peach tree."

"Father... how can my child allow you to be alone in the wild?"

"Ying'er," I looked at the child I raised with my own hands, and suddenly felt a bit of reluctance for the world, "I live for my father... I just want to be with peach blossoms..."

……

The karma of the third generation, so far, has drawn the end.

I left the body through your soul-attracting talisman, silently looked at my child who was kneeling beside me, and ran towards Wangchuan without any hesitation, I thought, you will be waiting for me on the bank of Wangchuan Bar.

Wangchuan is still the same.How many obsessed and unrepentant love and hatred are buried in the blood-yellow waves.The idiotic men and women in the world come here, maybe because of a love affair with eachother, maybe because of a memory that will never change until death, maybe, just to find a reason to wait for their sweetheart, they are reluctant to drink Mengpo soup, and they are willing to jump into it. In the middle of the river, he was tortured and tortured for ten thousand years.

On the bank of the river stands a majestic boulder. You once told me that it is the Sansheng Stone.You said that all the migrations and evolutions in this world have gone through the previous life, this life, and the next life to be considered a complete reincarnation. After this, the cause and effect will be complete.

I came to the Sansheng Stone. This giant stone has stood here since the beginning of the world, and it has been tens of thousands of years.Witnessed how many vicissitudes of life, cause and effect reincarnation.

The Sansheng Stone is densely engraved with the names of the creatures who have gone through reincarnation and become attached to it.I thought, although you and I became attached to each other because of your unintentional act of kindness, now we have come to the end of the cause and effect, so I made my own decision, found a stone from the shore, and carefully carved our names: Yingji, Yunhua. Hexu Mountain, using cloud peach blossoms as a medium, jointly formed the alliance of three lives.

You haven't come yet.

On the shore, ghosts led by ghosts come and go on the bridge. There are also some lonely ghosts like me, wandering here aimlessly. They may have given up the chance of reincarnation because of an obsession. Or you missed the opportunity for some reason, and now you regret it too much, and you are looking for an opportunity to sneak out, let go of the obsession in this life, and find a relief.

Only I am waiting for you to come.

Firm.waiting for you.

In this life, I will never worry about gain or loss again, I believe in you, you said: Little devil, since I promised you the promise for three generations, I will never break my promise with you.

You may have something to do, or you may not be able to get away from this reincarnation.However, if you know that I am here waiting for you, you will definitely come.You will say to me with apology and gentleness, "Yunhua, I am late." You will also say, "Yunhua, I kept you waiting." Then hold my hand and take me to the other side.

I said, my lord, Yingji, I am not afraid to wait, 1000 years, 1 years are fine, as long as you remember.As long as you will come.

I didn't know that although the Wangchuan River is not divided into four seasons like the human world, it also has two seasons of cold and heat.Sometimes, the heat is hot and scorching, and the heat is unbearable.Sometimes, it is windy and rainy, and it is biting cold.

I stayed by the shore looking forward to your arrival day and night, and I don't know how many seasons of alternating cold and heat I have spent in a daze.The ghosts in the Wangchuan River were tormenting in the pool of blood, and I was waiting on the bank.

There are more and more names engraved on the Sansheng Stone, almost covering our names.You haven't come yet.

I will stand by this shore and ask for your news from every errand that passes by, for fear that you will miss it.Only the promise of this life is left, how dare I miss the opportunity to meet you.There are so many things I haven't had time to tell you yet.

You never came, what happened?

My lord, I'm almost turning into another Sansheng stone, why don't you come?

On that day, I remember, there was a cloudy wind and light rain on the bank of Wangchuan River.A ray of sunshine suddenly broke through the sky.

I have been floating in the underworld for many years, and I have never seen such a scene, such as the arrival of auspicious luck, the sky is no longer covered with red clouds, but your favorite azure color.

As I was thinking about it, a person floated in the void.He has black hair and white robe, solemn and amiable, but it is not you.

He walked towards me slowly and asked, "Are you Yunhua?"

I was shocked in my heart, this is the soul-inducing code I agreed with you, how could he know?

Before I could answer, he said in a low voice, "Chenhe is dead, I am her master, I came to make an appointment for her, and send you across the river.

"Chenhe..." I was speechless, seeing your master's face was pale, it was obvious that he was also injured.

"Yingji's reincarnation IV is no longer Yingji." Your master raised his brows sharply, showing a trace of sorrow.

I can't believe that you are devastated, and the pain is too much, "He...he just left? He promised me three generations of promises, and now he still owes me the promise of one life..." I burst into tears, the one in my heart The high platform supported by hope and hard work collapsed, leaving only broken walls and ruins.

"Let me send you across the river. After this life is over, it will be a relief." Your master said this without the slightest emotion, but it made me very disappointed.

I asked him, "Master Xianjun, if I cross the river with you, will the agreement with him in that life still work?"

"Since re-entering reincarnation, everything is over, and meeting again will be a stranger. Besides, Chen'er has lost her heavenly soul, and the matter of missing appointments in her previous life has already been forgotten."

"If I remember, Xianjun, what if I don't want to forget? Could it count?"

Your master was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Then it's up to you to find her..."

I heard the words, I jumped off the River of Forgetfulness without hesitation, just to preserve the memory and continue your lifetime covenant, as I said, I will keep my word.Do you still remember, I once told you that I am not afraid of waiting, as long as you do not break your promise, I am not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire.

It's just that the Wangchuan Blood Pond turned out to be such a torment, peeling my skin and bones, refining and torturing the way out of my heart.

"The dead are like this, why do you have to be so obsessed? How is life, what happens in the world; what is death, what is materialized in a moment. Life is life and death, life and death are life and death. When life is exhausted, people die, and when death is poor, people are reborn. That's all. ..." Your master looked at me with compassion, "Are you really going to suffer in Wangchuan for more than ten thousand years?"

"Since I have made a promise with him for three lives, I will never break the promise. Please come back, Xianjun."

Your master let out a long sigh and left alone, leaving me alone in purgatory to suffer.

Day and night.

Just like when I was lying on the straw mat in desolation, waiting for your arrival.

Every year.

Just like my dead body buried deep in the ground in those years, I will stand by your good news.

The sun and the moon rotate, and the sky and the earth cycle.

I was trapped in the River of Forgetfulness for 1 years, letting the sea of ​​blood wear away my memories and feelings, I exhausted all my strength and only remembered two things in my mind, the sound of your piano from that year and your fragrance of clothes.

I will keep the promise, and meet you again in the next life!

Those I understand, your heart, your feelings, I will tell you when we meet again.

Finally entered the Tao of reincarnation, the red seal you carved in my soul back then turned into a grain of cinnabar and stayed on my forehead, recording the promise you owed me for a lifetime, I turned my head from the tunnel in a daze, although my memory has been eroded, Vaguely, I suddenly saw you in the green robe among the flowers on the other shore, who happened to be smiling sweetly, with gentle veins.

I said: In the next life, I will protect you and guide you...

……

Don't say a word.

Qinglian Peak.

——Mo Yunhua fell on the top of the peak, and was led by the sound of a handsome young man's piano. The surroundings were dim and empty, and the sound of music was like gurgling water, jumping and moving among the rocks, and only heard the occasional echoes of mountain eagles and forest birds .

"What song did you play just now?" Mo Yunhua asked lightly.

The young man replied cautiously, "It's just that I fiddled with it casually, and it didn't make a tune, which made the real person laugh."

Mo Yunhua was thoughtful and stopped talking.
