I played with the brush in my hand, thought about it for a while, but still didn't care about it.Xiaotao suddenly rushed in from the window and rushed straight at my hand. I hurriedly dropped the pen and retracted my hand, but let it splash the ink on my sleeve.Xiaoqian gently folded his wings and stopped on the window lattice, looking at Xiaotao with a bit of helplessness, and looked at me with a bit of sympathy. I grabbed Xiao Tao's neck angrily: "Which dress is this? What is it? Today I insist on turning your 'white in beauty' into 'crow black'." I took a silk handkerchief and stuffed it into the ink cartridge With one press, he sucked up enough ink and wiped it off Xiao Tao's body.

Xiao Tao flapped her wings and screamed desperately.Xiaoqian on the side seemed to be in a dilemma, not knowing who to help, so he yelled a few times, and then simply lay down on the window lattice, buried his head in his wings, and fell asleep without seeing. Xiao Tao seemed to understand that I was really angry today, and resisting would only aggravate his pain, so he gradually calmed down, obediently letting me rub the ink on it.I let go of it resentfully after most of its body was covered with ink, and the case was already a mess. Applause suddenly came from the door: "It's wonderful, bullying a pigeon." Huo Qubing was leaning on the door frame, smiling happily.

I said angrily: "I bully it? Why don't you ask how it bullies me? Is there any food or clothing that hasn't been spoiled by it?" I was complaining there when Xiaotao suddenly spread his feathers. Shaking his body vigorously, he spread his wings and flew out.The moment I realized it, I tried my best to lie back, but I still felt a chill on my face, as if thousands of drops of ink splashed on my face. "Xiao Tao, I must stew you!" I yelled angrily accompanied by Huo Qubing's loud laugh, and flew out of the window, the "crow" had turned into a small black spot in the blue sky.

I turned my back and hurriedly wiped my face with a handkerchief, Huo Qubing laughed behind me and said, "I've seen everything, now it's too late to avoid it." I shouted, "Get out! Who let you in?" He smiled and left the house. I thought he was going to leave, but I heard the sound of scooping water from the water tank in the yard.Not long after, he came in again and handed me a wrung silk handkerchief from behind, and I silently took it and wiped my face. I felt that it was clean, so I turned around and said, "Thank you." He looked at me and tapped his ears, and I hurriedly wiped it again with a silk handkerchief, then he pointed to his forehead, I wiped it again, and he pointed to it again. I was about to wipe my nose, but suddenly I stopped and stared at him.

He leaned over the table, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he laughed silently.I threw the veil on him, stood up, and said angrily, "It's just right for you to be with Xiao Tao." He smiled and asked, "Where are you going? I haven't bothered to talk to you about serious matters." As I went out, I said, "Go and change clothes." When I entered the study room again, he was flipping through the bamboo books on my shelf, heard my footsteps, looked up at me and asked, "Miss Jin, do you want to be a female general?" I took back the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" that I had copied from him, and put it back on the shelf: "Turning around without the master's permission is the way of a villain."

He laughed and said, "I'm not a gentleman, and you're not a lady, just a good match." I was about to reply when I caught sight of Li Yan walking into the yard.When she saw someone outside, she turned around and wanted to leave.I tugged on Huo Qubing's sleeve and raised my voice to stop Li Yan. Li Yan walked towards the house, Huo Qubing stared at her without saying a word, I glanced at him and said: "Do you want to find a handkerchief to wipe your drool?" He didn't move his gaze, he still stared at Li Yan, but there was a smirk on the corner of his mouth: "I can still hold on, don't worry about it."

Li Yan saluted me silently, but her eyes were questioning. Before I could speak, Huo Qubing had already ordered in a cold voice: "Take off the veil." Li Yan stared at Huo Qubing coldly, and I quickly introduced to her who this arrogant disciple is. As soon as the word "Huo Qubing" came out, Li Yan glanced at me in surprise, and then at Huo Qubing, with scrutiny and thought hidden in her eyes. I intended to save her, but I felt that Huo Qubing's thoughts should not be wasted, so I just stood aside quietly. Li Yan bowed to Huo Qubing and saluted, she turned her eyes to my face, seeing that I hadn't moved, she silently took off her veil.

Huo Qubing stared at her extremely disrespectfully for a while, then Fang said: "Go down!" Li Yanfu put on her veil, saluted Huo Qubing calmly, then turned and left. I asked: "Does it have the beauty of the queen when she first met His Majesty?" Huo Qubing nodded lightly: "I don't remember much about my aunt's appearance when she was young, I guess it must be. This is second, what is rare is that she has a good grasp of the advance and retreat, and she still behaves calmly and gracefully under the disadvantage. Don't panic, don't rush, don't get angry, soft but firm, stronger than you!"

I snorted and didn't speak. He asked, "When do you plan to bring her into the palace?" I shook my head: "I don't know, I have some unanswered questions. If she can't give me a satisfactory answer, I don't want to get involved in her affairs." Huo Qubing laughed: "Think slowly, and be careful not to be taken over by others. Her appearance is indeed extraordinary, but the world is so big, after Chen Ajiao, there will be Queen Wei, and after Queen Wei, there will be her, you can't guarantee this. At that time, there was no one in Chang'an who could equal her."

I smiled and shrugged my shoulders: "You said you have serious business with me, what is it?" He said: "What's going on with you and Shi Fang?" I said, "We parted ways." He said: "Although Shifang is not as good as it used to be, it can always be talked about in Chang'an City. Now you are running it alone, be careful not to attract wind." I laughed and said, "That's why I'm busy trying to win over the princess!" He asked: "How big do you plan to expand your business? Like when Shifang was in its heyday?" I was silent for a while, then shook my head: "I don't know. One step is one step."

He suddenly laughed: "Meng Jiu of Shifang is also a very interesting person. I heard from the princess that his mother and His Majesty had a very good relationship when he was young. His Majesty even hugged him when he was young, but now he doesn't care about it. If you want to enter the palace, His Majesty calls you and refuses once. I haven’t seen many people like this in Chang’an City, and I would like to meet them if I have the chance.” Surprised in my heart, I opened my mouth slightly, swallowed the words that had reached my lips in a flash, turned my eyes to look out the window, and didn't answer. After sending Huo Qubing away, I went directly to see Li Yan. I felt that no matter how I pondered in my mind, I could not come to a conclusion, so I might as well have a heart-to-heart talk with Li Yan. When passing the courtyard where Fang Ru and Qiu Xiang lived, they heard the sound of a flute coming from inside.I stopped, Qiuxiang learned konghou, this should be Fang Ru, she learned flute at the same time as me, I still can't sing or tune, but she already has a taste.Just after listening for a while, her flute suddenly stopped, I shook my head inexplicably, and continued to walk towards the courtyard of Li Yan brothers and sisters. Just a few steps away, the sound of the piano came from Li Yannian's yard, the gurgling was like water between flowers, warm and peaceful.I tilted my head for a moment, then continued walking.The sound of the piano stopped, and the sound of the flute started again.I looked back at the courtyard where Fang Ru lived, then at the courtyard where Li Yannian lived, looked, and looked again, suddenly became very happy, smiled, and walked gently into the courtyard. The door was ajar, I knocked lightly and walked in.Li Yan was about to stand up when I sat down again, without saying a word, just looking at me quietly. I sat across from her: "Why are you staring at me? We seem to have just met." "Waiting for your explanation." "Let him see how you compare to Chen Ajiao in Nagato Palace, and how you compare to Queen Wei." Li Yan's hands on her knees trembled slightly, and immediately disappeared into her sleeves, and her dark pupils changed rapidly. "My explanation is finished, now it's time for you to give me an explanation. If you really want me to help you enter the palace, tell me who you are. I don't like being caught in lies." Li Yan said: "I don't understand what you are talking about." I smiled and said, "I know a little bit about palm reading, would you like me to do the math for you?" Li Yan stretched out her hand to me silently, and I held her right hand: "There are many twigs in the palm lines, complex and alert thoughts, intertwined fine lines and disorderly lines, the thoughts in the mind are often contradictory, the three main lines are deep and clear, although there are contradictions, they still insist on going their own way in the end." The lifeline started to blur, and the two points merged. Only one of your parents should be Han..." Li Yan suddenly wanted to withdraw her hand, I held it tightly, and continued: "I am alone, I have resentment in my heart. Fly up." Li Yan pulled her hand again, and I let go. Li Yan asked: "Where did I show my whereabouts?" "Your eyes are very beautiful, your eyelashes are dense and long, naturally curly, your skin is white and shiny, and your dancing posture is unique." "These are nothing unusual. There are many people in Chang'an City who have learned to dance Hu dance." I laughed and said: "If you don't think about it, you can ignore it. The people in the Central Plains are rich in land, and they never know how much people living in the desert prefer green. Only those who have wandered in the desert understand the color of Momo yellow Suddenly seeing green on the sand is a pleasant surprise. A single green tree may allow a dying traveler to survive. I am not sure if all of these add up, but I just have doubts in my heart. Because there are tree destroyers in the desert, the Central Plains There are also people who love flowers. The initial and biggest doubt in my heart comes from "going alone, with resentment in my heart, suddenly turning up, and wanting to fly away." Li Yan asked: "What do you mean?" "You guessed a bit of the purpose of "Flower and Moon" and deduced that I have the heart to climb the dragon and the phoenix, so that my brother rejected Tianxiangfang and came to Luoyufang, what are your thoughts? If you have never seen me If you misunderstand me, then I doubt you because I saw you. Can the three thousand houses make women happy? I know it can’t, and you know it can’t. Smart people don’t choose such a place, I don’t choose, Why did you choose? Master Li Qinxin has a heart, he is not a person who sends girls there for the sake of prosperity, but why do you insist on going your own way? I have observed your clothing, daily life, and behavior, and you will not be a person who is greedy for power. Since it's not because of 'greed', it can only be 'resentment', otherwise, I really have no way to explain why you, Hui Zhilan, want to go to that ghostly place when you can obviously live happily." I stared into her eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "Sixteen years old, like a flower, but your eyes are too cold. I asked Guangli about your previous life, according to him "Father loves my younger sister the most, and he doesn't even want to make her frown. The elder brother also obeys the younger sister in everything. My mother seldom talks and likes to travel around. She loves me the most, but she is very strict with my younger sister." Even if you are not your mother's biological daughter , but you should be happy. Where does your resentment come from? These questions linger in my mind, but there is no conclusion, so I can only try today, I am too imposing, and you admit it too early." Li Yan turned her head and smiled: "I have convinced you, and I was bluffed by you. Have you ever thought about your own life experience? Are you a Han Chinese? Your skin color is also slightly different from the whiteness of the Han people, and your eyes are slender in the sun." It looks brown, but your eyelashes are long and curly. People from the Central Plains may also have these characteristics, but you have three characteristics at the same time, and you grew up in the Western Regions." I nodded: "When I observed you carefully, I thought that you might be the daughter of a Han and a Hu. I did think about myself. I'm afraid that one of my biological parents is a Hu and the other is a Han. But I don't care about them." , I only know that my relatives are father and wolf, my hometown is among wolves, my father is Han, father said I am Han, and I am Han.” Li Yan smiled on her face: "Although I look like a Han Chinese and I grew up in the Central Plains, I am not a Han Chinese because my mother does not allow her, and she never considers herself a Han Chinese." I was surprised and said: "Your mother is Han Chinese? Then...then..." Li Guangli told me that their mother treated Li Yan severely, and I thought it was because Li Yan was not her biological daughter. Li Yan smiled wryly: "My real surname should be 'Shanshan'." I thought back to the customs of the Western Regions that Master Jiu told me: "Is your biological father from Loulan?" Li Yan nodded and smiled, but that smile was indescribably bitter, and my heart felt a little uncomfortable: "Stop laughing." Li Yan still smiled: "Do you know anything about the countries in the Western Regions?" Why don't you understand?I heard too many stories about the Western Regions when I was young.I felt a slight pain in my heart, and nodded with a slightly astringent smile. There are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions: Loulan, Wusun, Kucha, Yanqi, Khotan, Ruoqiang, Qiemo, Xiaowan, Ronglu, Mi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, and Sha Che, Shule, Weitou, Wensu, Yuli, Gumo, Beilu, Wutanzi, Beilu Houguo, Shanhuan, Pulei, Puleihouguo, Xiqimi, Dongqimi, Jieguo, Huhu, Shanguo , Cheshi Qianguo, Cheshihouguo, Shicheweiduduguo, Cheshihouchengguo. Loulan is located outside the Yumen Pass, and its geographical location is extremely important. Whether the Huns attacked the Han Dynasty or the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns, Loulan was a must pass.Because Loulan is a nomadic people with similar customs to the Xiongnu, it has always been subordinated to the Xiongnu and has become an important key for the Xiongnu to obstruct and attack Han envoys and merchants.After the current emperor came to power, he was unwilling to accept that the Han Dynasty was on the defensive against the Xiongnu for a long time, he was unwilling to exchange peace with the Huns, and he was unwilling to let the Huns block the passage of the Han Dynasty to the west, so he sent envoys to form an alliance with the countries in the Western Regions, using both kindness and power to make them submit , Loulan bears the brunt. At that time, my father liked to tell me about the great achievements of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and what I like to talk about the most is the story of the great Han emperor trying to conquer the countries in the Western Regions.Whenever I talk about these things, Dad always glances at the depression in his eyes and becomes full of spirits. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the big man makes the Huns surrender, but the same thing comes to Master Jiu, except Dad told me about the glory of the Han Dynasty. , and more. When envoys of the Han Dynasty went to the countries in the Western Regions or the Han army to attack the Xiongnu, they often passed through the desert called Bailongdui in Loulan.This desert is often stormy, and the wind blows quicksand into the air, which is shaped like a dragon, so it is called Bailongdui. Because the terrain is changeable, pedestrians can easily get lost.The Han Dynasty kept ordering the Kingdom of Loulan to provide guides, water and food, but the Han envoys repeatedly abused the guides. King Loulan refused to obey the orders of the big man under the burden, and Liu Che even sent assassins to assassinate the then King Loulan in a rage. Loulan was caught in a dilemma between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.When the emperor of the Han Dynasty was angry, Loulan was devastated, and when the Xiongnu Shanyu was angry, Loulan was the first to bear the brunt. He even staged the tragedy of sending two princes, one to the Han Dynasty and the other to the Huns as hostages, in order to maintain the country’s peace. . The other countries in the Western Regions are also similar to Loulan. They carefully strive to survive in the cracks between the Han Dynasty and the Huns. If they are not careful, they will be destroyed. When Master Jiu talked about these things, although he admired the current emperor's great talents and decisive actions, his eyes were more sympathetic to the small countries in the Western Regions. I stared into Li Yan's eyes and asked, "What do you want to do? You must look like a concubine, but the current emperor of the Han Dynasty is not King Zhou You." Li Yan said: "I understand, but I have carried my mother's hatred for the Han Dynasty since I was born. Because my mother's master refused the rude request of the Han envoy, the Han envoy tortured her master to death, that is, I never The biological father I met. The mother was only one month pregnant, her figure was not visible, and she was a Han Chinese, so she escaped death. After running away, she met her father who traveled in the Western Regions to learn music and dance in the Western Regions. After being rescued by her father, she married her father As a sequel. When I was very young, my mother took me back to the Western Regions to worship my father. She pointed to places in the Bailongdui Desert and told me that this is the place where my father was whipped, and this is where my father was buried alive. Died little by little. My mother will never forget how he was buried in the desert by the Han people. In the end, Mr. Pian Pianjia shrunk into a wrinkled human body the size of a child. She described it in detail, and I seem to be able to see that scene I had nightmares every night and woke up crying. My mother smiled and said it was my father’s resentment. Year after year, I went back to Loulan again and again, and my mother didn’t allow me to forget anything.” Li Yan’s eyes were filled with tears , but still laughing. I said, "Don't laugh, don't laugh." "My mother doesn't allow me to cry, never. My mother said that tears can't save me, I can only laugh, I can only laugh." Li Yan half raised her head, still smiling. I asked, "Does Master Li know your life experience?" "When my mother married my father, my second brother didn't remember anything and didn't know anything about it. My mother made up for my guilt towards my father on my second brother, so although my second brother knew that he was not born by his mother, he still regarded his mother as his biological mother. Eldest brother had already remembered things at that time and knew that I was not born to my father, but he didn’t know everything else, neither did my father, he never asked about my mother’s past.” When Li Yan lowered her head again, her eyes were calm and clear. I got up and paced the house slowly, feeling complicated, what should I do?We all hate, but my father only wants me to be happy, and Lee Yeon's mother only wants her revenge. The sound of the piano and flute outside the house is still asking and answering, and a faint joy flows under the sound of the music. As the sun was about to set, it was time for the swallows to return to their nests. They slid lightly across the blue sky in pairs, leaving behind a few cheerful chirps. I leaned against the window, stared at the sky, and said softly: "Li Yan, I think the wisest thing for you to do is to forget all this. Your mother is your mother, and the hatred she can't repay cannot be imposed on you. She is not a Good mother, she can't torture you because of her own pain. If your biological father is really a man worthy of a woman's love, then he only wants you to be happy, not let you struggle in a period of hatred. If you choose revenge, then Your life is over before it begins, because your enemy is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the entire Han family, for revenge, you will have to sacrifice your whole life, and you can no longer have your own happiness." Li Yan murmured to herself: "Although it hasn't started, it's over?" After a long silence, she said softly but firmly: "Thank you, Jinyu, but I am not only because of hatred, I am Loulan's daughter, There is love for Loulan." She stood up and walked to me, also looking out the window, "It is different from the scenery of the Western Regions, but it is beautiful." I nodded. "Jinyu, I'm very proud of being a Loulan person. At sunset, although we don't have swallows flying in pairs, we have the scene of flocks returning; we don't have the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but we have the bonfire and singing on the Kongque River; we don't have the Han family. etiquette, but we have hearty laughter and warm hugs...” I continued: "We don't have continuous houses, but we can see the sky and the earth connecting; we don't have neat and tidy streets, but we can always gallop when we want." "The world is so vast, and we just want to shepherd and sing on our own land. Why couldn't the Han Dynasty let Loulan go and us?" "Li Yan, have you read it? Everything is born and dies. There is no eternity in the world. A long time ago, there must have been no big man, and there was no Loulan, but one day they appeared, and after many, many years, Loulan and the big man will be Disappeared, just like the Yin, Shang and Zhou Dynasties." "I'm not going to tell you the big truths in the book. I just want to ask you, if a young man is about to be killed, do you want to say to him: 'If you don't die at forty, you will die at fifty, and you will die at fifty. If you don’t die, you will die at sixty. Anyway, you are always going to die, and the person who kills you will die sooner or later. In this case, it’s okay to be killed by him now, why resist?’” "Zhuangzi is a sage who is very respected by our Han people. He once told a story: 'You don't know if your husband is praying? You don't know if you are in a rut with your arms in anger. You don't know if you are incompetent.' He exhorted people to give up their inappropriate actions and adapt to the situation. .” "I respect this praying mantis very much. It has no fear in the face of a big cart. Loulan is located in the desert, a tiny place, and it cannot be compared with the vast territory and fertile land of the Han Dynasty. But if the ruts want to overtake us, we can only Be that praying mantis, 'with its arms like ruts'." I turned around and looked at Li Yan, she met my gaze firmly, I slowly said: "I respect you very much." "What I need more is your help." "Actually, whether I help you or not, you will enter the palace as you wish. Maybe there was no way before, but now you take a little risk to find a chance to appear in front of the princess. The princess will not waste your beauty." "You took the risk to take the princess's path. How can I be such a treacherous person? Besides, you can let me enter the palace with the most perfect posture." I was silent for a moment, and finally made up my mind: "I will try my best, but I can't do anything about it in the future, and even my head is full of black fog. What can you do? If you want to assassinate the emperor, let's not say that things are successful." Possibility, so what if he is assassinated? Empress Wei has a son in her harem. General Wei has a large army in his hands. General Wei and three sons. The palms are all important officials in the court. One emperor died and another emperor was born, which still can't stop the pace of Han's westward expansion. Besides, if you assassinate the emperor, no matter whether you succeed or not, your brothers and me, and even the sisters in the whole garden I will be buried with you." Li Yan smiled sweetly: "I won't be like this, I don't know any martial arts at all, this road is too stupid, and it's not a long-term solution. Why are you still willing to help me enter the palace?" I thought about it for a while, thinking about Master Jiu, with some vague thoughts in my mind, and finally shrugged my shoulders: "I don't know, it's probably compassion." My words had another meaning. Li Yan obviously understood my support for her behavior, her eyes became moist again, she held my hand, and she didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said in a steady voice: "My concern I never dared to tell anyone that I felt so happy for the first time.” I pouted towards Li Yannian's room, and asked with a smile, "What game is your brother playing with Fang Ru?" Li Yan listened to her brother's piano sound from the side, and smiled mischievously. She was so charming and charming that I was stunned: "It's not all your fault, let my brother compose a new song for you and teach Fang Ru and the others to sing." I'm probably teaching Fang Ru to understand the deep meaning of the song!" I was dumbfounded, speechless, turned around and said, "I'm going back to eat." Li Yan went out after me, tiptoed to Li Yannian's house and peeked in secretly, beckoning me that I would also go and have a look.I shook my head, made a posture of playing the piano with a smile on my lips, and then made a posture of shaking my head and listening to the flute with my face full of intoxication, and walked out of the courtyard with a smile. After entering Honggu's room, the maid had already set the table and chopsticks.When Honggu saw me, she said angrily, "What did you do? If you don't come, I plan to eat it myself and let you eat the leftovers." While washing my hands, I said: "I talked to Li Yan for a while, and it was a bit delayed." Hong Gu turned her head as if thinking of something, and took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to me: "I was just about to tell you about her." I picked up the silk handkerchief and looked at it. It was supposed to be a bamboo green color, but after using it for a long time, it had already turned white after washing, adding a bit of human touch accumulated by the passage of time.Generally, the silk handkerchiefs used by women are embroidered with flowers or grass, but the embroidery of this handkerchief is unique. At first glance, it looks like a vine on a cliff, but in fact it is a continuous "Li" character. The characters are like silk, charming and coquettish. When you look closely, they turn out to be icy blades and frosty fronts. I raised my eyes and looked at Hong Gu suspiciously. Hong Gu explained: "Li Sanlang picked up the handkerchief by accident in the garden. He gave it to me and asked me about the owner of the handkerchief. Although there is still a girl named Li in the garden." , but such a special 'Li' can only belong to Li Yan. I didn't know your plan for Li Yan, so I didn't dare to say it. I just said to Li Sanlang, 'Go and find out'." I was playing with the silk handkerchief in my hand and didn't make a sound. Honggu waited for a while and said: "Li Sanlang's father is General Li Guang, who ranks in Jiuqing, and his uncle Anlehou Li Cai is even more honorable, ranking in the third rank. Although he came from a noble family, But it's not like Huo Dashao at all. He doesn't have a trace of arrogance and extravagance. His literary talent and martial arts are all outstanding in Chang'an City. Now that there are frequent wars in the Western Regions, he is very likely to be named a marquis and general in the future. Li Sanlang will be on the list with the word "Li" Xin, if he sees Li Yan's peerless appearance and beautiful quality, he will be hooked by Li Yan. For Li Yan, there will be no better way out than marrying into the Li family." Hong Gu smiled and shook her head, "Actually, a woman like Li Yan is hard to find in the world, but if she is willing to show flair to any man, who can resist her?" Originally, I planned to give the handkerchief to Li Yan, but I changed my mind after hearing this.I put away the handkerchief: "Just find a girl surnamed Li, take Li Sanlang to have a look, and tell me that the handkerchief belongs to her." After speaking, I bowed my head and began to eat.Li Gan thinks about the demeanor of a person from the handwriting, and he must have high expectations. He will be disappointed when he sees it. It is definitely a good thing for him to give up his thoughts. Hong Gu was stunned for a while, seeing that I was only focused on eating, she shook her head and sighed: "I don't understand what you want, judging by your behavior towards Li Yan, you should have the intention of flattering her, but until now there is no movement at all." None. If even Li Sanlang doesn’t like it, it’s hard to find a better one in Chang’an.” After Honggu finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and just took a bite of the food, when she suddenly looked up at me with shock on her face, I nodded to her, lowered my head and continued to eat.With food in her mouth, Honggu was stunned for a while, and finally sighed to herself: "You two, you two..." After dinner, Honggu and I discussed the business dealings in the garden for a while, then hurried back to my room. Yue'er has already climbed the tip of the willow, but Xiao Tao and Xiao Qian have not come back yet, waiting impatiently, Xiao Qian flapped his wings and landed on the window lattice.I beckoned, it flew to my arm, I smiled and untied the silk strips tied to its feet, and there were small petty words: I took out the pre-cut silk strips, picked up a pen and wrote: After writing, tie the silk strip on Xiao Qian's lap, and let it go away with a wave of his hand. Watching Xiaoqian disappear into the night, I looked down at the clay pot, the honeysuckle floating on the water stretched, white and gold, looking very beautiful under the lamp.I poured a glass of water, took a few sips, took out a silk handkerchief, and wrote: Thinking of my father's death, my heart hurts, no matter how difficult it is to write, I simply put down the brush, took out the small bamboo box where the silk handkerchief was stored, and put the silk handkerchief in the bamboo box after marking the date.From the first time I decided to record my own joy, there have been so many without knowing it. Xiaoqian stopped at the desk, I hurriedly locked the bamboo box back into the cabinet, turned around and untied the silk strip tied around Xiaoqian's leg: I flicked Xiaoqian's head: "Things without ambition." Xiaoqian tilted his head and looked at me, I waved: "Go find your little wife!" Xiaoqian spread his wings and left. I bowed down to Princess Pingyang, who was sitting on the couch, and the princess raised her hand to let me get up: "You came here to ask to see me, why?" I knelt down and said, "I have something to ask the princess to advise." After speaking, she sat down in silence with her head bowed. The princess lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea before waving her hand to let the maids in the room leave. "Say it!" "There is a woman whose appearance is far superior to that of a commoner girl. She dances beautifully, has a clever mind, and is good at melody." I leaned over and replied. The princess smiled and said: "Now you are in charge of four song and dance workshops, and there are many beautiful women in the garden. The women who can be praised by you must be extraordinary." I said: "She is Li Yannian's younger sister. The princess has heard Li Yannian's qin music. Although this girl's qin art is not as good as her brother's, she is already extraordinary." The princess said: "As long as she has 60 to 70% of Li Yannian's, she is enough to gain a foothold in Chang'an City." I replied: "I'm afraid it's 80%."
