Self-cultivation of a geisha

This day, when I was free, the man was wandering in the imperial garden, and two people walked towards him. They talked sideways and didn't notice him. One of them bumped into him, turned his head and said in a hurry: "Sorry." He started talking to the woman next to him again.

"Wait!" The woman stopped abruptly and looked at him: "Aren't you a pariah at the hunting ground that day?"

"My humble minister, Li Pei, see the Princess and the Seventh Prince." The man bowed and said.

"It's really a villain, and I don't know what His Majesty likes in him?" Anping still had that high-ranking appearance, and the irony between his words was undisguised.

The Seventh Prince at the side smoothed things over: "Okay, Anping, have you forgotten the lessons from the past few days?" Seeing that Anping's mouth was pursed, and his arrogance had subsided a lot, he smiled at the man and said, "Anping It has always been like this, and you are straightforward, Master Li, don't mind."

These words sounded quite unpleasant, and it was clear that he also looked down on him, but this prince had a noble status and his voice was soft, so he had to lower his eyebrows and reply contently: "I don't dare."

Anping's eyes showed disdain, and he snorted.

The Seventh Prince said to him: "Let's go and find Sixth Brother."

Seeing that Anping's eyes lit up, the man excitedly followed the Seventh Prince away.

He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't tell. He frowned and thought for a while, then walked in the same direction as them.

On the way, a little eunuch came out mysteriously and stuffed him with a porcelain vase. He took half a step back and found that the figure of this person was quite familiar, so he called softly: "Xu Zuo?"

The little eunuch nodded, and disappeared in a flash.

He turned the bottle and saw a string of small characters written on it: Take one pill every five hours.

It's my brother's handwriting.

The man smiled wryly, there are not many people who really treat him well in this world, but he can't repay any of them.

After taking a pill, he walked forward for a while. Gradually, there were voices, and he didn't shy away from it. He went straight to the emperor's side and saluted: "Your Majesty, I just picked up a brocade handkerchief. Whose object is it, and then I found it."

After staying in the palace for more than half a month, his temperament became more and more similar to that of his father, which must have been seen by Emperor Le.

The emperor was busy with official duties today, and he hadn't seen him for a long time, at first glance, he thought it was Jun Yi who had returned, and stared at that person in a daze.

Eunuch Li called softly: "Your Majesty?"

Only then did the emperor come back to his senses.

The man saw the emperor's expression in his eyes, and his heart ached for no reason. What kind of mood did the emperor have in order to kill his father and his family?

"You show them the veil."

According to what the emperor said, he walked past the scattered princes and princesses holding the handkerchief. No one knew the handkerchief. When he was in front of Rong Su, he only heard one sentence: "This is what the king lost. things."

He smiled and handed the handkerchief back to Rong Su: "Your Highness, don't lose it again."

Rong Su nodded, his eyes stayed on him for a moment and then moved away.

The princess next to him asked, "How did Anping not know that His Highness has such a brocade handkerchief?"

Rong Jue also jokingly said: "Don't talk about you, this king has never seen it before. Looking at the embroidery skills, it is so ingenious and lifelike. Look at this embroidered with pine, bamboo and green willows. Tsk tsk... Brother emperor, which woman gave it to you?" ?”

Rong Su clenched the veil tightly, and said calmly, "This is an old friend's property."

This is Xu Yan's handkerchief, and Rong Su only saw it once by chance, when asked, Xu Yan told him that it was given to him by his senior sister when he left Lianyou Villa.

Transferring him now must be to remind him of something.

The emperor didn't let the man leave, but asked him to enjoy the flowers and drink tea with everyone. He thanked him and poured a cup of tea for the emperor.

Rong Su remained calm, and the man was not in a hurry, when the emperor got up and drove back to the palace, the man followed him.

After about one stick of incense, Rong Su also got up to say goodbye.

Outside the palace gate, the man was really waiting here, he bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness still remembers."

"Xu Yan, why on earth did you enter the palace? What are your plans for your father?" Rong Su asked with a straight face and a bad tone.

The one who should come is still here, the man sighed and said: "Your Highness, I must have my reasons for entering the palace. It is enough for Your Highness to know that I will not harm you."

Rong Su pulled his collar and said: "Yes! You will not harm the king! But what do you think this time? You want to push yourself to the forefront again? The emperor's thoughts are unpredictable, and the situation around him is changing. How long do you think you can stay? Could it be that you really want to sell yourself for glory? You think too highly of yourself!"

With a calm expression on his face, he put his hand lightly on Rong Su's wrist: "Did you forget that I was rubbing hands with His Highness back then? I make a living from art, and I am a lowly and despicable person. Why should Your Highness worry about how to survive?" Woolen cloth?"

Encounter at the hunting ground, Rong Su already realized that the person was Xu Yan, he was shocked, it turned out that the ultimate purpose of approaching him was for his father, it was really ironic, this slap was so loud, it turned out that he still couldn't see through him.

But as I said at the beginning, love is voluntary, and there is no regret.

Even though he was extremely angry and ashamed, he didn't regret it.

But now, when he heard such irresponsible words from that hateful and hateful person, he endured more and more, and finally threw that person on the ground, evoked a savage smile, and said cruelly: "In the future , don’t appear in front of this king again! I don’t want to hear about what I’m looking for today.”

Say it and walk away.

The man was a little absent-minded, his whole body was limp on the ground, and his heart ached for a moment. He clutched his chest in pain and muttered something in his mouth. :"sorry……"

On his face, there were no tears, no tears, no sadness and no joy.

"My lord, go back to the palace."

The man stood up like a puppet on a string, and then seemed to remember something, grabbed him suddenly, and asked, "Is the emperor in the Yangju Hall at this moment?"

"The emperor didn't return to Yangju Hall, but went to the Imperial Study Room."

"Your Majesty has been overworked by state affairs recently, so you can ask the Imperial Dining Room to make a bowl of calming soup and send it to the Imperial Study Room."

"Yes."

When the little eunuch went to the imperial dining room with Anshen soup, the emperor was so engrossed in staring at a painting that he didn't even notice that someone came in, so the little eunuch saw the yellowed rice paper and the person in the painting at a glance.

...It's Taifu Han.

He was stunned and called out: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Seeing the emperor regained his senses, he continued: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li saw that His Majesty's complexion has not been good for the past two days, so he specially ordered his servants to bring soothing soup to help His Majesty sleep. "

The emperor picked up the scroll in his hand in a sense of loss, cast a glance at him and asked, "Are you the servant next to Mr. Li? What's your name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, my slave, Xiao Yanzi, was originally on duty in the imperial tea room, but today he was transferred by Eunuch Li to work with Master Li." The little eunuch responded, and then handed the food case to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the soup is getting cold."

The emperor took it and sipped the soup in one gulp.

In the middle of the night, he came to the courtyard where the man lived. Just as the little eunuch at the door wanted to shout "Your Majesty is coming", he stopped him.

Entering the room, the man was lying on his side with his face facing outwards, and the emperor immediately saw the same face as Taifu Han.

He whispered: "Jun Yi..."

No one responded.

He called out again: "Ayi..."

Apart from the sound of the man's shallow breathing, there was no sound.

The emperor didn't make another sound, and stood for a while before leaving.

In the quiet room, two lines of tears flowed down the man's cheeks, and he could hear him sobbing, "Father..."
