Chapter 58: If you send empty smoke to the sky

Sailing along the water, the oars swayed gently, the water wave broke the ripples, one faint and one faint, the Chuyan River reached a quiet place, with a lake and mountains reflected on both banks, it seems that the city is full of wind and rain, separated from the mist of spring, only the mist is left. , If you want to be far away, throw away the prosperous days.
Then there was a weak willow helping the wind, quietly spitting out the young buds, a fresh and elegant pear blossom, stretched out from the shore, shone diagonally against the water, dropped a little bit of fragrant fragrance, soaked in the wind, and faintly followed the river. The old fisherman's rough hand held the oar forcefully, and the boat moved slowly with just one swing. Looking at the woman standing still on the bow of the ship, her slender back is wrapped in the swirling smoke and haze, as if it has blended into the thick and faint scenery of the mountains and water, and for a while, she feels that the boat has been condensed with her. Instead, the mountains and rivers retreated leisurely.
Since I got on the boat, I didn't say where I was going, I just followed the crowd like this. The journey passed one by one, and seeing the sky sinking, the old lady at home must have raised the smoke, waiting for the meal, the little grandson did not know if it was crying. The old fisherman shook his head and swung a scoop again. He squinted and saw that a small boat came up from the river far away. Hearing the sound of the water, he came close in a short while.
Although the boat is not big, it is full of style. The person holding the oars arrogantly and politely, clasped his fists and said, "Old man, my son has thought about going to the boat. Please lean over here."
The old fisherman knocked his cigarette holder and said with a smile: "The boat is wrapped up by this girl, so I have to ask the Hakka."
The boat shook as he spoke, and a blue-shirted young man walked out of the cabin with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, gentle and gentle, and a gentle smile on his lips, so that Lingling Chunhan was also warm, and said to the woman who had just turned around: " Qing Chen."
Seeing Ye Tianzhan, Qing Chen was taken aback first: "Is it you?"
The two boats approached lightly, the small boat here sank slightly, and Ye Tianzhan had already stepped down in front of him: "It is not convenient to talk after the boat, so it is better to get on the boat here."
Qing Chen groaned and nodded. Qin Yue paid for the boat early, and the old fisherman grabbed the heavy silver in his hands, and didn't know which Gonghou Miss he had met. Seeing a pair of fairy-like characters went with the boat, he was amazed in his heart.
The boat traveled slowly, and the sun slanted westward, covering the surface of the river with a thin layer of light, gradually converging into the depths of the smoke-blue sky. Qing Chen stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Tianzhan on the bow of the ship, her body covered with light and gold, and her clothes fluttered, like a Luoshen out of water, facing the wind and vulgarity.
Qing Chen felt frustrated and didn't want to speak, but looked at the distance quietly. Ye Tianzhan stood with her for a while, and said, "I said you were uncomfortable, so I went back to Xiangfu for a few days, what happened?"
Qing Chen remembered her excuse for leaving the palace, and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I have been with the emperor for so many days, and I feel quite exhausted and want to rest. Why did you find this place?"
Ye Tianzhan took a deep look at her, and although he didn't say much, his eyes were meticulously concerned, and said: "Qin Yue said that when I saw you boarding on the Chuyan River, I came along the river, not wanting to meet him. "
Qing Chen swept the hair that flicked his face back to her ears: "The river is refreshing and broad. Compared with the palace, it is a different scenery."
Ye Tianzhan raised his eyes and looked far away, the twilight quarters, the shadows of the mountains and rivers concealed into the sky, the pear blossoms and misty rain caged into the light dusk of a river, gradually blurred. He turned his head and asked her softly, "Do you want to leave the palace?"
Qing Chen raised his eyes. I don't know when, the circle in the river rippled, moist and rainy.
Muyu came fresh and unexpectedly, rushing with the wind in a dense and dense manner. Ye Tianzhan turned sideways and naturally shielded her from the rain, and her clothes got a few strong colors immediately: "It's cold in early spring. Don't get cold, go in the cabin first."
Qing Chen stretched out his palm to catch a few raindrops, and stamped it coolly on his palm, smiling and said: "I am not so delicate. Only when I go out of the palace can I be so quiet. Yes, I have never thought of going out of the palace like this. "
Ye Tianzhan looked at the misty and rainy surface of the river and smiled slightly: "It will be fine in a few days. Yesterday, I asked my mother to ask my father for marriage."
Qing Chen turned her head abruptly, Ye Tianzhan stared at her intently, her eyes full of clear rain. Qing Chen quietly asked: "Why?" The previous looming guess was finally clear, and everything was explained. Empress Yin changed her attitude and suddenly got close. Ye Tianling changed his mind halfway. It was for him to put him on the road of no return, or even the Emperor of Heaven could not let him continue to glorify, let alone make him become The prince of the celestial dynasty.
Ye Tianzhan looked at Qing Chen with a smile in his eyes with a slightly looming astringency: "I know you may not want to, but I did it, Qing Chen, I shouldn't have let you leave my place long ago. I will never miss this opportunity again."
"Even if you lose everything you have now, are you willing?" Qing Chen stared at him for an instant.
There was a gleam in Ye Tianzhan's eyes, but his voice was still soft as jade: "I won't lose it, otherwise even if I can keep you by my side, I won't be able to protect you well."
When the rain fell on her face, Qing Chen took a deep breath, and said in an almost ruthless way: "What about if I become your princess? I treat you as much as Sister Jin, you What do you want me to do? The better you are to me, the more cruel you are to yourself."
The softness in Ye Tianzhan's eyes froze for a while, and his voice was a little muffled, saying: "Get along with each other for a long time, don't you have a trace of feeling?"
"Yes, not only there, but also very strong, from the first glance until now." Qing Chen closed her eyes and said cruelly, "but you are another person to me, the one I loved but now hates. People. I want to forget it. Whenever I see you, it’s like him in front of my eyes, because you were born exactly like him. If I say I love you, then I actually have not forgotten my love for him, I will choose anyone, But there is no way to choose you. I don't know how to face you in front of me. Do you understand?"
Strong and straightforward, at that moment, she was Ning Wenqing instead of Feng Qingchen, and she spoke out of her mouth without hesitation, with emotions that had been suppressed for a long time. To break his mind is to give him a way of life and also to let himself be reborn. Whether Li Tang or him, she doesn't want it, forget it all.
Or because of the rain, Ye Tianzhan's face was slightly pale, Qing Chen couldn't see the look in the clear eyes in front of him, and could only feel that he suddenly turned and left. However, at this moment, Ye Tianzhan stopped again, turned around and looked at her for a long time.
Qing Chen looked back at him quietly, with no bottom in her eyes. Until he finally let out a long sigh, he said slowly, "Even so, I recognize it."
Word by word, decided not to change, on the Chuyan River, in the wind and rain, Ye Tianzhan's eyes raised slightly, his expression calm as before.
Qing Chen only felt that the suffocating thunder around her was frightening, and she couldn't help but shook her body, holding on to the side of the ship, "Maybe I am destined to owe you this whole life."
Ye Tianzhan seemed to smile: "If you owe it well, there is always time to pay it back."
Qing Chen frowned slightly, avoiding his gaze, "The four sides are here, I'm disembarking here, it's getting late, go back to the house earlier."
Ye Tianzhan said, "You won't return to Xiangfu?"
Qing Chen actually didn't plan to go back to Xiangfu to live, but said: "I will go back later."
Ye Tianzhan nodded: "I'll send you up." He seems to have returned to normal, still gentle, the ship slowly leaned on the top of the stack.
Qing Chen stopped him: "No, it's raining too much." Qin Yue saw the rain falling more and more urgently, and handed over the umbrella. There was a faint thunder from the horizon, muffled from far to near, the sky was dim, and there must be a downpour immediately.
Qing Chen took the bamboo umbrella and stepped to the shore. Who knew that the hull was shaking, his feet were unstable, and his body shook coldly. Not as shocked, someone stretched out his hand to help, and Ye Tianzhan had firmly held her in his arms.
Qing Chen steadied his body, hurriedly stepped back, and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Tianzhan held her with his backhand, her handsome eyes gleaming in the rain: "Qing Chen, in any case, I will never regret if I recognize you. One day, you will treat me as me."
Qing Chen gently retracted his hand, avoiding his gaze: "His Royal Highness, please go back."
Ye Tianzhan's eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, but after all, he smiled and went back on board and left.
Qing Chen stared at the river embankment covered by the torrential rain in a daze, until the ship gradually sank into the depths of the rain before turning around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing there in front of the building.
I don't know when to come, Ye Tianling's gloomy eyes are cold, watching her under the umbrella, watching the Chuyan River where the long waves hit the shore in the wind and rain.
At both ends of the plank road, a distance as far as near, the two stood there quietly, none of them spoke.
The wind and rain have long since disappeared from the softness of spring, and the bamboo umbrella in Qing Chen's hand is constantly shaking. Accompanied by ear-shattering thunder, a shock of electricity splits the dark cloud, drawing a long scorching light in the dark sky.
Under the lightning flash, Qing Chen clearly saw the wind and clouds rushing in Ye Tianling's eyes, and finally understood why the murderous generals on the battlefield did not dare to look at him in this way. The raging lightning in front of them seemed to retreat, that frightening. The gaze is like a sharp sword, which makes people feel sore.
Qing Chen stabilized his mind, and walked forward, the thunder rolling above his head was not real to his ears, everything lost its color, only his eyes could be seen, as if only those eyes were left in the world. Look at myself, clear as promised.
The torrential rain hit all over his body obliquely, Luo Su was soaked in the rain and pressed against his skin, feeling cold. He came, how much she wanted to say to him, and now, he came.
Ye Tianling looked at her motionlessly, her cold eyes mixed with deep pain. Qing Chen shouted: "Four brothers."
"No wonder," Ye Tianling's familiar voice has no emotion, "I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Qing Chen asked in a low voice, "Have you seen the queen mother?"
Angrily flashed in Ye Tianling's eyes, raised her face, lowered her head, and her voice was hoarse: "No wonder you asked Chu Yuanjing why I wanted to do that. No wonder you don't want the emperor's grandmother to give a marriage. No wonder you can't find it anywhere. You, it turned out to be him."
The oil-paper umbrella fell down and rolled into the rain. Qing Chen felt his hand squeeze him fiercely, trembling faintly due to excessive force, struggling: "It's not..."
"What is that?" Ye Tianling said quietly, "You refused to marry yourself, and I saw it with my own eyes."
The anger in his eyes, along with this tone, pierced Qing Chen's heart like a sharp knife, one knife after another, and the pain made her almost suffocated, so she could barely raise her head and said: "Yes...yes...you let go!"
Ye Tianling let go of her hand abruptly, Qing Chen staggered to hold on to the railing, the pain in her heart didn't relieve at all, and it surging more and more, a thousand words stuck in her chest but couldn't say a word, she just leaned there to breathe.
Ye Tianling saw her pale face and did not answer, a burst of anger surged with inexplicable heartache, her thin lips pressed tightly, and she tried her best to suppress her writhing emotions, she suddenly raised her head and closed her eyes, the rain agitated her face and turned around and flicked her sleeves. Away.
"Four brother..." Qing Chen wanted to call him, but his eyes suddenly turned black, a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't take a step. Underworld nightmare came back from the palace with Ye Tianling. Zao and Xie Jing were in the building looking at the two people's situation, but no one dared to step forward. At this time, seeing Ye Tianling suddenly leave, Qingchen was about to fall in the rain. Hold on: "Phoenix Lord!"
Qing Chen saw the two of them in a daze, and said with difficulty: "Follow... see... don't have any... accidents..."
Xie Jing raised his head to indicate to Dark Nightmare, Dark Nightmare spread out and chased along the river bank.
Xie Jing supported Qing Chen and saw that she was drenched all over, and she did not know whether it was tears or rain on her pale face, she had already drained the pain and drowned everything.
In front of the Shenyu Military Camp, the two old tree trunks beside the door are strong, pink and strewn. Although they are not as beautiful as the "one color Jinping thirty miles" beside the water bank, they are full of trees in full bloom. After the rain hit the spring garden, flowers were scattered, and the ground was covered with light red pink and white brocade. Now the wind blows, the soft and sprinkling is fluttering, adding a bit of beauty to this stern army camp.
The military officers and soldiers in and out of the camp were originally uninhibited people. They rarely stopped to admire the spring. Instead, they were more hurried than usual. The soldiers and horses' boots inevitably trampled down and fell into the dust.
Since King Ling mentioned the introduction of the addition of the Northern Xinjiang Duhu Mansion, the Emperor of Heaven has not yet made a decision. An emergency report came from the Nanjing Hou Mansion six hundred miles. A year ago, Nanjing Hou was seriously ill, and Yi Chou was in Zhenzhou in April.
The princes’ fiefs were originally a hereditary and irreplaceable system. The eldest son of Hou Nanjing should inherit the title and take charge of southern Xinjiang. But the eldest son of the old man was incompetent and the other five sons were dissatisfied. Please make a decision if the trouble is so high.
This is exactly the reason for the withdrawal of the vassal, and the emperor called all his officials to discuss. Although King Ling insisted on revoking the fiefs of the princes, he opposed the rush for quick success and short gains. He thought that the time was not the best time, so he asked the Emperor of Heaven to divide the lands and entrusted them, turning the southern fiefdom into six prefectures and entrusting them to the six sons of the Nanjing Hou. The power of the country has also been weakened invisibly. If the princes directly issued an edict to revoke the vassal, the princes have always exchanged their voices and moved the whole body. Once there is chaos, the court is not yet fully prepared, and coastal defense, border, and Guanlong will all fall into danger. Only steady and steady combat is the best policy. The Emperor of Heaven accepted the Ling King's proposal, but in order to prevent any changes, the army was still rigorous to prepare for the war.
After busying for several days, Ye Tianling left the barracks with eleven. A gust of warm wind was light, and the falling flowers came to his face with a slight fragrance, and he was slightly stained with plain black clothes. He turned his head to avoid, his eyebrows were tight, and the deep sea-like eyes were dark, even the bright spring light was cold. go with. Recently, this look has made everyone in the entire army cautious, and no one dares to make any omissions, for fear that they will be touched by accident.
Eleven looked at Ye Tianling worriedly, one step behind, and whispered to Wei Changzheng, "What the is going on?"
Wei Changzheng whispered: "I don't know. I asked Yan Xi yesterday. He only said that His Royal Highness came back from the outside during the heavy rain, and he spent the whole night in the downpour. His Highness did not speak, and no one dared to ask what happened. Up."
Eleven frowned, knowing that Ye Tianling's appearance was definitely not a trivial matter. He thought about it and said, "Four brother, the new palace given by the father a few days ago is almost repaired. Wuying Garden is connected to Changyin Garden. It’s only one street away from your residence. My twelve brother and I want to open up the courtyard wall. The two residences are connected, and communication is easy."
Ye Tianling paused: "It's not bad, when will you move in?"
"Next month." Eleven said, "I won't be free for a few days, it's easy to be fine, why don't you come with me to have a look?"
Even though Ye Tianling was depressed, she was unwilling to make him feel happy, so she nodded and said, "It's okay."
Wuying Garden is built symmetrically with Changyin Garden, and the scenery inside is as if they are flipped to complement each other, but each has its own characteristics. It is a rare palace in Yige City. The Emperor of Heaven gave the two sons born to Concubine Su Shu a few days ago, and the decree was extended to the new palace.
The tender willows spit out green, the spring ponds melted, and the winding paths in the garden are quiet and scattered. A clear spring led from the ground to the top of the stone, and a pool of clear water flowed into a pool of clear water, divided into flowers, willows and twists and turns to Changyin Garden.
Ye Tianling walked into the depths of the garden with his hands in his hand, but turned a blind eye to the spring scenery, his eyebrows kept tight.
Only in this little gap, there is no military or political affairs, and the feeling is coming up like a shadow. Scene after scene is extremely clear, pink, light willow, drunk fragrance, and flowing spring are all like her, smiling in front of her with a clear smile, a clear stream of autumn water, a soft crescent moon, never so clear at this moment.
That sharp pain immersed in the bone marrow from his heart, as long as there was a moment of free time in the brain, it was her, silent and full of heart.
Under the cold surface is a fire that can melt the glacier, burning the five internal organs. He closed his eyes, squeezed the corners of his lips sharply, but suddenly he heard something in his ear: "Along this side is Brother Eleven's Wu Yingyuan, let's take a look." It was Ye Tianli's. sound.
Someone seemed to have responded, and Ye Tianli said again: "It's only a few days after the spring rain, and even the peach blossoms are blooming. Qing Chen, last winter we also said that it was snowing, drinking and enjoying the plums, but we were disturbed by the Pingli epidemic. Now, isn’t it a good thing to change to drinking in Taolin?"
Qing Chen seemed to smile, and said, "If there is "Tao Yao" wine, it will match this scene."
Ye Tian said, "What's the problem, it's your listlessness. How can you say that you are sick? When you get better, you should go out and walk around. It won't work if you are bored in the house."
Qing Chen whispered: "Making a fuss, I'm just too lazy to move, the emperor let me rest, and you specially pulled me here."
This familiar voice made Ye Tianling shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't want to meet them..." Looking back, he was taken aback, only to see Ye Tianling's face cold, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes.
Ye Tianling said solemnly, "Eleventh brother, there is still something to do in my house, so let's take a step first." After that, he turned around and left the garden.
