Chapter 11: The mountains have trees and trees have branches

"Life and destiny are different, but we want to stand tall..."
A fold of ink mark was broken in the middle of the road, and it was a little muddy and stagnant, Qing Chen stopped writing, slowly grasped the paper, and crumpled it up.
I have lost a few scraps of paper before the case, and still can't calm down. She holds the pen and frowns her brows tightly. This day is either a daze or an impetuous heart. Whenever she closes her eyes, her heart will There were waves of flutes, like real and illusion, like shadows.
She dropped the pen with a bit of annoyance, stood up and walked to the front of the corridor, but stopped suddenly, turned back to the case, stared at the pen and ink for a while, and slid the skirt off the seat without manners, and stretched out her hand to rub the ink.
One side of the Venus Moon Inkstone was grinded and chuckled, and the ink marks were as deep as one line, and the circle was overflowing, but her movements became slower and slower, gradually calming down.
Just as soon as he let his hand down, he heard Jin Hui's voice: "Qing Chen, are you there?"
Qing Chen quickly changed the skirt to her kneeling position, and Jin Hui had stepped in.
Today, Jin Hui wore a light purple fold-breasted dress with Yunying and a long pleated skirt. The jade hairpin slanted the cloud on the side of the temple, which is slim and graceful. Seeing the pen and ink on the case, she smiled and said, "I see you practicing calligraphy every day, and the calligraphy is getting better and better."
Qing Chen said: "You should practice only if you don't write well, and there is nothing left or right to do."
Jin Hui said, "It seems like a person who can't be idle. You asked me if I can help a few days ago. Now there is something you really want to help me."
"What's the matter?" Qing Chen asked.
"You come with me." Jin Hui said, taking her hand to Xianyu Lake.
Crossing the white jade arch bridge, turning out into the depths of the willow shade along the lake, the shore is a water pavilion. The flat eaves are not very gorgeous, but the terrace pavilion is connected to the semi-liquid water, and the eyes are wide. The lotus in the facing lake is not like At night, it's so endless, every branch and leaf are tingling, dotted with the summer sky.
Stepping into the water pavilion, the sandalwood wide corridor is hung with cyan curtains. With the breeze, the light patterns walk among the lotus fragrances, bringing the refreshing lake water to the face. Jin Huifu opened the curtain and said as he walked: "This is Yanbo Shuangzhai. There are many collections of books that are not easy to see outside. I don't worry about giving it to others. If you want, I will leave it here to you."
"Is it the study room of the palace?" Qing Chen said joyfully, "I can read the books inside?"
"Naturally." Jin Hui took her across Taixie, walking gently, "What else can't be done if you leave it to you? Just don't leave it alone. I wonder if you want to do these complicated things? "
"Why don't you want to," Qing Chen said, "both things to do and books to read, I really want to thank the princess."
Jin Hui turned to look at her: "Why do you still sound so strange? I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me ‘sister’, so that’s not the case."
Qing Chen was silent for a moment, then smiled lightly: "My sister is right."
"That's right." Jin Hui smiled, "You might as well have a look around here first. I will tell you later if you don't understand."
After Jin Hui left, Qing Chen walked lightly into the depths of the water pavilion, her long skirt fluttering behind her like a cloud, hanging in the breeze and fragrance with the light curtain of the green yarn, and the feeling of melancholy just now was more than half lost .
After the Linfeng Corridor, the main body of the water pavilion was actually built on the shore. There were all kinds of books in the previous few entrances. The collection is so rich that it takes a long time to browse the bibliography. When you step inside, it is the real study.
There are fewer books in the study, but it is obvious that people often turn it over. She took a few books and saw that they were books that were not easy to understand, such as "National Policy", "Congjian", "Zhiyu", "Six Taoism" and "Wujing". On the wide case, rhino ink, Xiang Fei pen, and Xue Tao's paper are neatly arranged, and they are spotlessly cleaned everywhere. Several volumes of "Letters on the History of the Past" are scattered on the desk, and next to it are piles of this chapter.
In the back of the case, the daisy-colored sprinkling screen was blocked, and the white plain ice porcelain cup was filled with purple pistil water moss, white stone and green leaves, and the jade petals were light, quietly blooming noble and elegant. The furnishings in the room are casual but elegant. Qing Chen's eyes fell on a topaz carving with clear colors. She vaguely guessed that this is not the study room of ordinary people. I am afraid that there is only one person in the palace of Cham that will be so quiet. Place, read such a book.
The interest she had just mentioned fell off a bit. She stood in front of the case and took something and flipped through it. At first sight, it was the chapter of the case of Ye Tianzhan and Chen Zutianwu Zuifang. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help it. If you want to know the case, browse it.
After reading it hastily, the content is still incomprehensible for a while. I only think that the characters in this chapter are smooth and suave, vigorously vigorous, and the strokes are almost perfect. Forgot what was written in it. In the last few strokes of Zhu Mo, with the words "Prudent and Strict", Qing Chen closed this chapter and thought about it in silence, and then looked back again, only to realize that such a simple case was so small that he could only run a Tianwu Zuifang. ; Speaking of greatness, it can be as high as three males, implicating inside and outside.
From the perspective of this memorandum, the case brought about various situations in which the ministers of the DPRK and China took advantage of the situation to break the law and seek private profits. They pointed out that the collusion between officials and businessmen in industries such as song and dance workshops was caught off guard. In addition to Guo Qi, the minister of the staff, there is also a series of important officials involved. Qing Chen even doubts whether this is Ye Tianzhan's memorial. The sharp and unrelenting language of his language is very different from his usual gentleness. Yuan, people do not believe that it comes from his handwriting.
However, an article with hundreds of words requires careful consideration. Qing Chen put the memo back to its original place, and Fang realized that after so long, it was getting close to dusk. The light in the room gradually dimmed, and she got up and lit the two glazed silver lamps, sorted out the book case a bit, and walked out of Yanbo to send Shuangzhai. As I walked and thought about it, now that I have agreed, it’s hard to say no. Tianzhan doesn’t seem to be in the mansion often during the day and night. If you pay attention to the staggered time, you probably won’t encounter it. There are a lot of books here. The records related to the Nine Revolutions Linglong Formation are very attractive to her, she does not want to miss it.
As soon as she walked into the shade of the willows on the long embankment, a man in black suddenly came to her side and led her into the depths of the tree shadows. When Qing Chen blurted out, the man pressed his finger between his lips and took off the veil.
"Nightmare?" Qing Chen was very surprised, "Why are you?"
Dark Nightmare is still indifferent: "It took a few days to find out that you were imprisoned in solitary confinement in the Palace of Cham. Come with me."
"Where to go?"
"Do you want to stay here?" Undermine said, putting on the veil again, and asked back.
Qing Chen shook his head and looked at Underworld's indifferent eyebrows outside the veil: "Although I don't want to, I can't just go with you in a muddle."
Hearing the words, Hades frowned slightly: "My eldest brother wants to see you."
"Who is your eldest brother, why do you want to see me?" Qing Chen remembered that Xiao Zichu had mentioned the Mingyilou on the boat at the time, and wanted to ask Dark Nightmare. Hades simply said: "I will know when I see it."
Qing Chen said helplessly: "Even if I leave the house with you, I should say to King Zhan or the princess, and I can't leave without saying goodbye."
Dark Nightmare said, "No need," as he stretched out his hand to hold her, a black rope in his sleeve shot up to the high wall, tapped his toe lightly, and his body fluttered out of the wall with strength.
"Hey, wait..." Before Qing Chen's words fell, the two of them were still in the air. Suddenly, they saw a little white light that was astonished as lightning, and struck the vest of Dark Nightmare.
Amidst the whistling sound, the coming force was fierce, and Hadma was slightly startled, his sleeve knife was flashing scarlet and struck out, and the opponent volleyed, but the body did not slow down, but took advantage of the momentum to rise.
The white light did not stagnate, passing through the thin knife and swaying slightly, turning into thousands of shadows, pressing on, and instantly sealing all the way out of the nightmare.
The Dark Nightmare had nowhere to take advantage of it, and his stature retreated quickly and fell to the ground.
Under the twilight willow, Ye Tianzhan is wearing a clear aqua gown, holding the jade flute calmly, with a smile on the corners of his lips: "The girl is a good skill, but should I say hello to the master when I go in and out of the palace, let alone take it away? The man in my house."
Underworld nightmare turned his gaze on him, did not speak, and snorted coldly. The thin knife in his hand had struck Ye Tianzhan again, taking the opportunity to turn around and take Qing Chen up.
A smile filled Ye Tianzhan's eyes, with a faint light reflecting off the jade flute in his hand, breaking into the thin knife offensive. A cold light flew like a shadow, and in the constant ding of gold and jade, Qing Chen only felt that his body was light, and he had already been sought after by him. The red light in front of him flew up, and Hades took off with a thin knife, and Yudi attacked. Undiminished, with a sharp light and shadow, she pointed her throat straight!
Qing Chen blurted out: "Stop it!"
When Yudi heard the sound, he was unrestrained and unrestrained. The sharpness of the talent disappeared in an instant. Ye Tianzhan looked down at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"She is my friend and has no malice." Qing Chen said hurriedly.
"If you are a friend, you can come in through the gate in the future, and the king will welcome you with courtesy." Ye Tianzhan smiled slightly.
Qing Chen said: "Sorry, she... must have mistakenly thought that I was imprisoned in the palace, so she sneaked in."
Ye Tianzhan's gaze fell in her eyes, with an elegant expression: "Oh? Then I was reckless." He leaned over and picked up the provoked knife, looking at the nightmare, "It's like a peach, the light is like flowing water. , Presumably the girl is as beautiful as this knife."
After that, he put the knife in his palm and handed it back.
Undermine's eyes flashed with alert and looked at him coldly.
Ye Tianzhan stood with a smile, as if he had never fought with anyone before. The swords, lights, swords and shadows all turned invisible in his graceful smile. There was only Liu Qingfeng warm and the new moon twilight.
Qing Chen asked, "Can you let her go?"
Ye Tianzhan lowered his head slightly: "Are you going with her?"
Qing Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and Dark Nightmare broke into Prince Zhan's Mansion today. It could be to find a friend, or it could be a private intrusion, illegal plot, or even assassination. If Ye Tianzhan insists on pursuing it, he can make it difficult for the Nagato Gang to gain a foothold in Yige, presumably Nightmare will be very troublesome. She raised her head to meet Ye Tianzhan’s questioning gaze, and smiled slightly:
It’s getting late and it’s inconvenient to go out of the house. If something happens, I’ll talk about it another day.
While speaking, she took the thin knife in Tian Zhan’s hand to Hades. Gently shook his head to her.
Ye Tianzhan's eyes were bright and handsome, and he turned his head and asked, "What do you think of this girl?"
Dark Nightmare was silent for a moment, and said to Qing Chen: "I'll find you again." After he gave Ye Tianzhan a glance, he flew up and disappeared beyond the red wall and green tiles.
Ye Tianzhan shook his head and laughed, "It's really much more convenient than going through the main entrance."
At dusk, Shen Shenyuan brought the long embankment, and a line of smoke and willows on the embankment, the moonlight quietly hung the branches, like a quiet painting. In the warm twilight, Qing Chen couldn't see Ye Tianzhan's expression, only felt that he had the refreshing, loose and soothing faint lake water.
"Have you been there?" Ye Tianzhan left the matter behind, walked towards Yanbosong Shuangzhai, and asked Qing Chen with a smile.
Qing Chen stood still and said, "I won't disturb you."
Ye Tianzhan stopped and smiled back and said, "Why avoid me, would I eat people?"
Qing Chen was taken aback, and said casually: "It should not be."
Ye Tianzhan couldn't help but smiled and looked at her. These words made Qing Chen feel a bit funny herself, she raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but also raised her lips.
The atmosphere between the two relaxed, Ye Tian's eyebrows and eyes covered the twilight, with a gentle clearness: "Take you to see the night scenery of Yanbo Shuangzhai, which is different from Bairi, and it is also very different from Ningcui Pavilion."
Along the willow dike, when the breeze came to the lake, Qing Chen turned his head and asked: "This is your study?"
Ye Tianzhan nodded and said, "If you practice calligraphy and read, you can come here. People will not come here without instructions. It's quiet and convenient. If you want to read a lot of medical books, you can find it yourself."
Qing Chen said: "The book collection here is all-encompassing. Have you seen them all?"
Behind his hand, Ye Tianzhan said leisurely: "Most of them have read it, but the Tiandu collection of books belongs to the Prince's Mansion of the East Palace, which is the most.
Qing Chen pursed his lips suddenly, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qing Chen said: "I think of the poem in your picture."
Ye Tianzhan looked at the lake and smiled lightly. The smile was a little unclear, but it seemed to be nostalgic: "I am the most proud of a good painting, and they are really willing to ruin it."
Yanbo sent Shuangzhai to have a few more attendants because of Ye Tianzhan's return. One of them stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, we have already prepared dinner."
"Move to this side." Ye Tianzhan ordered, "Look at what I don't eat people, what I eat on weekdays." He turned his head and said with a smile, and blocked Qing Chen's excuse to leave.
Sitting next to the water cloth table in Bishaying, the attendants quickly served a few exquisite dishes, and then they all stepped back.
Qing Chen sat opposite Ye Tianzhan, watching him quietly, his every move, his words and deeds laughing. There was wine during the banquet, and she suddenly had the urge to drink and get drunk.
The wine has the fragrance of lotus branches, she took a shallow sip, then took a half glass, and poured into her throat as she raised her head. The wine was not strong, but it made people erratic and warmed comfortably.
Ye Tianzhan drank two drinks with her at first, but suddenly realized that she was drinking very quickly, and put a vegetable cloth in front of her: "Drink slowly."
Qing Chen raised his eyes and looked at him, his cheeks were fresh on the wine, and the faint clear waves in his eyes caused him to lose consciousness.
She ignored him and poured the wine on her own. The feeling of hesitation for the last few days followed the temptation of the wine. If she couldn't vent it, she would suffocate in such depression. If a toast can relieve her sorrow, she would rather stay drunk, or wake up to find that it is just a dream of Huang Liang, who made a big joke with herself.
Adding wine, half a cup into the abdomen, half a cup spilled into the lake, Qing Chen bit her lip and squinted slightly, loosened her hand, and the white jade cup fell into the water with a faint sink. She leaned in front of the fence and watched the Xianyu Lake rippling wave after wave. The moonlight was very faint, and it fell on her side and her face was hazy, but she couldn't contain the jade-like streamer.
"Qing Chen," Ye Tianzhan looked at her for a long while, and asked, "Can you drink?"
Qing Chen stood up with the wooden fence, Qing breeze held her wide sleeves flowing, and the moonlight floated in her smile vaguely. She didn't answer, but looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
Her expression was a little blurred, but Jianshui's pupils were so clear that she seemed to insist on seeing him through.
"Tell me, who are you?" she asked again.
Ye Tianzhan put down the silver chopsticks, held her with a smile, and replied, "Ye Tianzhan."
"Ye Tian Zhan." Qing Chen repeated, "You are Ye Tian Zhan." She suddenly raised her head and smiled, the moonlight, lake waves, and night lights all sunk in the clarity of the eyes, turning into a deep luster. Slowly rose through the clear mist.
Ye Tianzhan stopped her hand holding the pot and said softly: "The wine is gone, don't drink it, okay?"
"Yeah." Qing Chen handed the wine to him obediently, "I want to hear your flute."
"Okay." Ye Tianzhan promised her, Qing Chen sat in front of the case with his hand on his forehead, waiting quietly.
Ye Tianzhan stroked the jade flute lightly, patted the railing quietly under the water, he looked at Qing Chen for a while, and smiled warmly at her.
The slender fingers rose and fell, and the flute sounded slowly, the tone was not clear, and the groan was hovering between the two, only they could hear it. The tune is clear and quaint, with sighs and chants, as if prosperous and bright has been born from the ancient red dust, falling in the softest place in the heart, illuminating the waning side.
The corners of Qing Chen's lips are always smiling, her smile is clean and clear, and Bisha's flying shadow becomes hazy in front of her eyes, quietly turning into another world. There was nothing, only the soft flute sound wafting, accompany her heartily.
She looked at Ye Tianzhan's eyes with a drunk glow, and her words were erratic. She suddenly fell on the case and asked in a low voice: "Are you, fate's compensation for me?" She didn't expect any answer, she fell silent. Closed eyes.
Ye Tianzhan put the jade flute aside, leaned over and gently hugged Qing Chen, she gave him a half-opened stare, then closed her eyes and leaned quietly in his arms.
He smiled and shook his head. Today the wine is not strong, but he doesn't want her to be so powerful.
He sent her back to the place where he stood and looked at her for a while. In the impression, her face is often a little pale, but at this time, the faint blush seems to be a fascinating peach color, falling into the charm of ice muscle and bone, especially moving. The smoky eyebrows are clear, and the bright eyes of Gu Pan’s life are hidden by the light shadow of the feather eyelashes, making her face soft and serene. The lines of the slightly pressed cherry lips are thin and vague. It seems that there is a secret hidden in the night, and the corners of the lips are like jade. Laughing casually tempts people to sink a little bit.
He smiled and looked at the drunk woman lying on the jade pillow. He suddenly leaned over slightly. The Lan Zhi-like breath and the warm fragrance of wine almost made people fall in a trance, but he stopped at hand, just reached out and gathered her. Sigh silently.
He straightened up, the corners of his lips curled in a soothing arc, and he traced the clearness in her charming colors with his eyes, and his mood suddenly became relaxed. This woman was strangely attracted to her from the first sight of her, and he didn't want to act abusively.
He turned around and walked slowly to the front of the case, thinking for a moment, and writing in a cool manner:
Longer than eyes, lingering care for each other. Wan Yi Qing Xi, Qian Ruo Chun cluster.
There is a phoenix seeking phoenix, up and down. I am feathery, and have good woods.
Longer than eyes, lingering care for each other. Thinking of a gentleman, it is difficult to adjust the machine.
There are flowers and pedicles, and branches are connected. It fits my wish and is close to each other every year.
Longer than eyes, lingering care for each other. Feeling in love, say Yu Chaomu.
There is a piano inviting you, and your ears are pretty. To my heart, I have to carry a mandarin heron.
Longer than eyes, lingering care for each other. Thinking upside down, it's rare to talk.
Lan Gui Qifang, turtle age and crane life. Express my feelings and stay with the king.
I hope she wakes up to see this ancient song "Bimu" and can have a smile.
