Volume 3 Chapter 32 Hooking up with old friends
By the way: The method of bullying Xiaofei is very direct, self-abuse. The great wolf women have discovered that the big brothers are really awesome. However, this is just the beginning.
Because I didn't sleep well last night, when Xun Yu Zi Chen sent me to the Hu Guo Fu, I was still a bit drowsy. Today is another overcast day, the gloomy weather makes me feel like I'm still in a dream.
Is Xuan Yuan Yifei asleep yet? He was stunned by my kiss last night, and it worked better than acupoint massage. Because he respects me and won't force me, he's truly a rare gentleman.
Suddenly, a joke flashed through my mind. The joke says that a boyfriend and girlfriend are sleeping in the same room. The girl draws a line and says: "Whoever crosses this line is a beast." When she wakes up, she finds out that the boy really didn't cross the line. She slaps him hard and says: "You're not even as good as a beast!" (This joke was reminded by Little Dullard).
"Hahaha......" Someone couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing loudly in the carriage.
The curtain opened and Chun Yu Zi Chen appeared. He looked puzzled: "Piao Piao girl... what are you laughing at?"
"Oh, nothing." How could I say that to him? He's even more serious than Xuan Yuan Yi Fei. Seeing Chun Yu Zi Chen, I naturally thought of Shan Shan. Now, Xuan Yuan Yi Fei should be considered my boyfriend, so why do I still want to hide my identity from Shan Shan?
Xuanyuan Yifei is so considerate of me, as his girlfriend I should share some of the burden for him, even if I weren't his girlfriend. I should do something for him too, otherwise it would be ungrateful of me.
Chun Yu Zi Chen smiled and was about to turn around, but I immediately called out to him: "Chun Yu Zi Chen."
"What's wrong, little girl?"
"Can you help me pass on a message to my younger brother?"
Jun Yu Zichen was taken aback, and I smiled: "I said 9527 is back, tonight I want to eat phoenix tail shrimp."
Sunzi stared blankly with his mouth agape, clearly unable to comprehend the meaning of these words.
"Thanks for speaking up, my brother will understand." I smiled with a hint of mystery.
"Good……" Chun Yu Zi Chen looked at me with a puzzled expression for a long time, clearly not understanding when I had "hooked up" with his younger brother. I winked at him and he was taken aback, seemingly aware of his own loss of composure, his ears slightly reddening as he quickly turned around and lowered the car window.
Jun Yu Zi Chen is more strict and serious than Han Xuan, so he attaches greater importance to the etiquette and formalities between monarch and minister. Such a person would blush when teased. Unlike Han Xuan, if you bat your eyelashes at him, he'll return a flying kiss. Initially, Han Xuan was troubled because I was "enemies" with Xuan Yuan Yi Fei, but now I'm in the same room as Xuan Yuan Yi Fei... Uh... no, no, no, they must be very happy.
However, I must reiterate that I have no intention of flirting with Shan Shan. It's just that I really miss his cooking. Leng Yue Yao, since you and Shan Shan haven't made any progress yet, don't blame me for intervening. Joining in the fun might even catalyze your relationship, and you'll thank me later.
I don't know if it's because of Xuan Yuan Yifei's confession, or the fact that I can eat Shan Shan's cooking soon, or thinking about Leng Yue Yao's jealous expression, but my mouth hasn't closed this whole time. I'm laughing to myself in the car, and it's really hard not to laugh. It's like three joys have arrived at once, and I just can't help but smile. Chun Yu Zi Chen keeps sneaking glances at me, probably thinking I've gone crazy.
So today I entered the Hu Guo Fu, and my mood improved. My whole person's footsteps became light and quick, as if returning home.
Arrived at the old place, the dust has already been placed on the piano. I had just sat down when it suddenly started raining. At first, it was just a light drizzle, but by the time I finished tuning, it had become a heavy downpour.
"This is the arrival of the rainy season." Yundong gazed out at the dark sky through the rain-soaked window.
The rain hit the pavilion, and the eaves turned into a waterfall, isolating us from the outside world. Since I came to this world, I have never seen such a big rain. The heavens seem to have accumulated tears for thousands of years, and today they burst out crying, but it's unknown what they're crying about.
"This rain is great." I laughed, my voice brought back the dusty gaze from afar, and I continued, "People need to take baths, this world also needs a bath, too much dust, dirty and filthy."
"Hmm, this sentence from the floating girl does have some meaning to it. But can this filthy world be washed clean with just one rain?" A hint of helplessness and lamentation flashed in Yuanchen Di's eyes, probably because he was thinking of his own situation.
I smiled faintly: "Today, Piao Piao's mood is good, and the world she sees is clean and fresh. However, Teacher Yuan Dun seems to be in a bad mood today."
The dust was slightly stunned, and her hand was placed on the piano, lightly plucking out a note: "It seems that Xiaoxiao's mood today is indeed sunny."
"Yes, that's right. So, Piaopiao will sing a song for Master Yuanchen today to help him dispel his worries."
"Oh? Alright." Yuanchen smiled faintly, his half-curved eyebrows and eyes filled with delight towards me, this disciple. My comprehension and progress had always been praised by this teacher.
"Ahem." Clearing her throat, outside the rain curtain, she saw two familiar figures. They became blurry in the rain, with a faint sense of loneliness.
"Empress Dowager Cixi."
Yuān chén yě shùn zhe wǒ de shì xiàn ér wàng, jīng guò zhè lǐ de fēng qīng yǎ tīng jiàn wǒ zhè shēng hū hǎn, biàn cháo zhè lǐ wàng lái. Dì yī cì, wǒ fā jué fēng qīng yǎ shì rú cǐ qīng lì, tā sù lì zài yǔ zhōng, nà zǒng shí méi yǒu xiào yì de liǎn ràng rén xīn téng.
She hesitated for a moment, but still came this way. She gradually walked out of the rain curtain and into the square pavilion. Xiao Ru put away her umbrella and gently shook it, placing it at the edge of the pavilion.
"Madam." Yuanchen stood up, and with a gentle nod, she sat down on the corridor chair of the pavilion.
"Madam, it's been many days since I've seen you." Although we're in the same mansion, I rarely see Feng Qingya, and with her personality, she wouldn't pay attention to me, a concubine who came to learn the zither.
"Yes, it seems that madam has not fulfilled her duties as a host."
"How dare I, how dare I, with a humble status. Madam, you also seem to be in a bad mood?"
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her expression changed only very subtly, and then returned to normal. She looked a lot like Xuan Yuan Yifei, with no smile and little change in expression.
"Hmm... Piao Piao is really foolish, Madam must be worried about national affairs. Let me sing a song for Madam and Master Yuanchen to lift everyone's spirits. However, I still need one prop." I smiled at Feng Qingya and Yuanchen, the two of them didn't look at each other, just like unfamiliar spectators, each focusing their attention on me.
I smiled, reached behind my neck, and with a swift motion, pulled out a white jasmine flower that I had picked from the garden earlier. It's a habit of mine to pick flowers when I'm feeling extremely happy...
"It's this one."
The wind was clear and elegant, and the dust was shocked. They had also seen my magic before, but it wasn't as shocking as today's, because the power that magic brings to people will also change with the environment, location, and the audience's mood at the time. "Wow, so amazing." Xiao Ruo exclaimed, because she had never seen me perform magic before.
I smiled and placed the white jasmine on the piano, then the sound of the piano came out immediately, accompanied by the patter of rain, piercing through the curtain of rain, flying into the sky.
"A handful of smiling flowers"
Think of the changes in human life
In the end, what does it matter whether one wins or loses?
Day and night cancel each other out
Wealth and honor are hard to last long
This morning's face is older than last night's
There is a space as wide as a character between the eyebrows.
Take a look at the beauty of human scenery
Who doesn't taste the joys and sorrows
The sea and sky stretch on forever
It's hard to calculate gratitude and resentment.
Yesterday is not today, it should be forgotten
The vast waves surged, people were sparse, and the birds of youth had flown away.
Even if it's a thousand years of fame and fortune in the waves
The wind is blowing gently, people are scarce, and the knife is sharp in the mountains where the grass is lush.
The joys and sorrows of love are swaying in the wind...
The lingering sound is my song, the zither's sound stops at my fingertips, white rose petals shatter, I raise my hand, and the light blue sleeve sweeps across the strings, also sweeping away the white rose. The petals rise with the wind, flying before the distant dust and the elegant eyes. "Pop!" In an instant, two white roses appear, falling down together with those petals.
Yuǎn chén hé fēng qīng yǎ miǎng rán shēn shǒu, jiē zhù le gè zì miàn qián nà duǒ bái sè de yuè jì huā, shén qíng yīn wèi zhè bái sè de huā ér biàn huàn.
Translation:
Far away from the dust and wind, elegant and vast, they stretched out their hands to catch the white carnation in front of each of them, and their expressions changed because of this white flower.
"Flowers bloom and wither, the sun rises and sets, today's face is older than last night's, yesterday's right and wrong should be forgotten today." I gently stroked the strings of my zither and smiled faintly, "Ah, the sky has cleared up."
The rain stopped unknowingly, a beam of sunlight fell from the green clouds, and hit the artificial lake outside the pavilion that was full of blooming lotus flowers. The large pink lotus flowers became even more beautiful after being washed by the rainwater. When the sunlight landed on them, the remaining raindrops on the leaves and petals sparkled like pearls.
Entering the third and fourth stages of courtship
