[Comprehensive] Tang Ji

Sizi lost her mother since she was a child, and her father cherished her and raised her by his side.

But even so, Sizi's desire for a mother has not been halved.

I heard from my brother that the red sandalwood tree in front of the Lizheng Hall was planted by my mother before she was alive. Although it was very small, Sizi felt that it must be something left by her mother.

Sizi loves the red sandalwood tree very much.

I like to sit there for half an hour every day.

Whether it has grown up or not, Sizi doesn't know.She also learned about what happened after her death from Zhikong.And the red sandalwood tree is so small, how could it be mentioned in these words.

Sizi looked at Luocheng Gate and shouted, "Can you come down? I want to see you!"

Qingming and Boya were taken aback by Sizi's words.

Really bold.

Not long after, the fog surrounding Luocheng Gate cleared.Under the city gate, you can clearly see the things on the city gate.

Then, a woman jumped down from under the Luocheng Gate.

"Oh!"

Boya let out a cry.His eyes widened.

The woman is wearing a Tang costume similar to Sizi, holding a pipa, and has a soft face similar to Sizi, standing docilely under the city.

Especially the way she looked at Sizi was as gentle as if water was about to drip.

"Mingda, I miss you."

Datang's soft and beautiful words flowed from the woman's mouth.

The woman plucked the strings.

clank--

Different from the melancholy sound of the piano before, this time it brings joy and satisfaction.

Sizi took a few steps forward and cupped the woman's face.

"Are you really that Mu Mu?"

The woman said: "If it is fake, it will be replaced."

"But why are you here?"

There was a hint of sadness between the woman's brows.

"That's a long story to say."

Seimei probably knew what was going on.

He was always smart.

With the name and location, it is enough for him to guess the cause and effect of things.And eight-nine is not far from ten.

It was a certain year after the death of Emperor Taizong, and even a certain year when Datang had changed his own emperor.A short section of the red sandalwood tree in front of the Legislative Hall was cut down—it is said to be the best section of the whole tree.

They made a precious lute from this small piece of red sandalwood.This pipa originally had no name, but was later brought back to Japan by the envoy sent to Tang Dynasty at that time, and became the favorite of Emperor Nimei. It is very common to name the cherished favorite, so Xuan Like a name.

If you want to ask why the mysterious elephant stored in the hall was stolen, then the answer may be related to Mr. Xi.

The time of the theft and the time of Master Xi Jun Zhikong's arrival are also extremely coincidental.

"Is that so? It's just that, since the Xuanxiang has been found, it's time to return to the palace."

"But I don't want to be separated from Mu Mu, this is the only memory I have of my mother."

Sizi held Mu Mu's hand, unwilling to separate.

She looked at Boya with pity.

"Yes, Your Highness Boya, I really don't want to be separated from Mingda."

The tone of the woman holding the pipa is soft, but with undeniable determination.

This may be the reservedness that grew up in the palace since childhood.For ordinary people, a battle is inevitable.

"Seimei. So what should we do now?"

Boya was in trouble.

Although Xuanxiang must be brought back to Da Nei Li.

The mysterious elephant made of red sandalwood, the elf it produces is not a mysterious elephant, but red sandalwood.

But the mysterious elephant itself is the beloved object of the current emperor, and it is impossible to hide the mysterious elephant knowingly.

Qingming thought for a while.

Then, he took out a hairpin from his cuff.

It was a hairpin made of red sandalwood, of excellent color.It is carved with a very common pattern - a style that even beginners can carve well.

"Just let it attach to this lifeless hairpin."

Qingming took a few steps back and put the hairpin on the ground.Then he waved to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu looked at Sizi, and after Sizi's acquiescence, walked over slowly.

"Hey, listen to me..."

Qingming said, slightly drawing something in the air with his finger, and saw that Mu Mu turned into a magical thing like a ball of light.

Boya and Sizi couldn't help exclaiming.

The pipa named Xuanxiang fell down because it lost its center of gravity, and Boya quickly caught it.

"This hairpin is in excellent condition."

He said so, holding the ball of light in his hand and putting it into the hairpin.

"Qingming, did you cast a spell?"

"Ah."

Seimei said in a low voice.

"Boya, gentle words and deeds have always been very effective for women."

Mu Mu successfully attached to the hairpin.

Qingming picked it up and handed it to Sizi.

"Your Majesty should keep it well."

Sizi seemed to find a treasure, and said with a smile: "That's natural."

Carefully flicked the surface and hid it in the skirt of the clothes.

"Hey, I took that mysterious elephant back. Speaking of which, Qingming, did you already know that something like this would happen?"

Boya asked before leaving.

It was as if he could have predicted everything.

Qingming raised her eyebrows, but didn't answer.

"Hey, forget it, don't say it if you don't say it, I can't understand it if you say it."

Seimei couldn't help laughing.

"Bo Ya, you are such a nice person."

Sizi asked curiously, "Mr. Qingming, where did this hairpin come from?"

Qingming smiled slightly: "It's a gift from an old friend."

He answered readily, but did not say who the old man was.

……

…………

Sizi told Zhikong about Mumu.

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"Mr. Seimei is really an amazing person. I didn't believe Chiku's words before."

When he was in Datang, Zhikong talked about various strange things about a person named Abe Seimei more than once.

Sizi was very curious at first, but after talking too much, he felt that it was made up in the script.

How can there be such a magical person in the world?

Zhikong was having breakfast, when he heard Sizi say this, a smile melted on his lips.

"The princess finds it miraculous, why not Zhikong."

"But how does Chikong know about Abe Seimei?"

Zhikong laughed and said, "You can't say it, you can't say it."

Sizi sighed, "I answer like this every time..."

"Because I don't want to lie to you, and I think it's too mysterious at this time, maybe I will tell you when I go someday. Princess, please wait a moment."

This is probably the last thing Sizi wants to hear.

The atmosphere was slightly silent.

Sizi said half-jokingly: "Then if you go, you have to find my father, he will be anxious if he doesn't see me."

"Hey, he couldn't see you, maybe he thought you were reincarnated. It's been hundreds of years..."

Sizi was silent, sitting there sullen.

Seeing this, Zhikong sighed slightly, packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and went to morning class.

"It's okay to lie to me..."

……

…………

This is the narrow corridor outside the room, a place where the sun and wind blow.

Sizi came here led by Huaman, while Qingming and Boya were already there.

The smell of burning Kamogawa ayu that I smelt before came from here.Seimei still holds a fan in his hand.

The grilled aroma of Kamogawa ayu comes from there.

"Why does Mr. Seimei always know that I'm coming?"

Sizi took off his hooded cloak.In Seimei's mansion, there is no need for a cloak to cover one's breath.

"Because there is Seimei's Shikigami under the Li bridge, that's why I know that Mr. Si is coming. It's the same as knowing that I'm coming."

Boya explained to Sizi seriously.Suddenly, he confirmed to Qingming again, "Really, Qingming?"

He himself is not sure...

Sizi covered his mouth and smiled.

Seimei raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.The grilled Kamogawa ayu was shared among the two.

"It's really time for me to come!"

"Why are you here today, sir?"

"Hey, I have nothing to do. Zhikong said that following Mr. Seimei will definitely not be boring."

Sizi ate fish and sold Zhikong.

"Oh ho..."

"Mr. Xi actually wore this hairpin today?"

Sizi raised his head, touched the red sandalwood hairpin, and said with a smile: "Yes, although I didn't reach the hairpin before I died, but to be honest, it's also hundreds of years old, and it's okay to wear it once in a while." .Besides, this wooden hairpin is very beautiful. I really want to thank Mr. Seimei's old friend."

Boya would mention Datang out of curiosity.

So the two began to compare the differences between the Tang language and Ping An Jing.

Boya was very surprised when Sizi mentioned that the gates of Datang were surrounded by walls.Because Heian-kyo has no walls.There is only a moat around it.When Boya mentioned this time, he would describe the beauty of cherry blossoms falling on the river.

Sizi looked yearning, "I'm really looking forward to it..."

Boya comforted: "We will always see each other."

The two chatted very enthusiastically, and as the host, Seimei, with slightly red lips, was drinking wine with a smile.
