Chapter 113: Broken Walls and Ruins (Part 2)
Lin Ying, Qingyu and Yifeng quietly walked along the huge lotus pond towards the star-picking platform in the south. The ruins of the wall that were shorter than other palace walls were just behind the star-picking platform. King Wu of Song Dynasty invaded
In the Jade Capital of Qi, it was only through that corner of the palace wall that we could enter the White Jade Palace. Because this section of the unrepaired palace wall completed the victory of the Song Dynasty's annexation of Qi, no one in the Song Dynasty mentioned the rebuilding of the South.
Regarding the matter of the palace wall, King Huai of Song Dynasty Liu Ying and the current King of Song Dynasty Liu just let it take its course and had no intention of intervening.
Getting closer and closer to the star-catching platform, Lin Ying saw the back of King Song on the top of the platform, with black hair like a waterfall, falling quietly on a white robe in the windless night. Lin Ying frowned and listened to Shu'er and
Liu's music and music were pleasing to each other, but the more he listened to them, the more uncomfortable he felt. He simply tried not to listen, and slandered as he walked: "The stinky King of Song, the stinky King of Song! Why don't you stay up late at night and show off here in dazzling clothes? Is it a big deal to get married? Is it possible?
Are you great at playing the piano? Are you great because you are a king? When I played the piano to Sister Shu'er, you probably couldn't tell whether the piano had seven or nine strings! If you hadn't been blocking the road here, we would have left together.
You stinky White Jade Palace! The stinky King of Song, the rotten King of Song, the bad King of Song who is useless! The ugly King of Song, the evil King of Song, the dishonest King of Song!"
Lin Ying was cursing vigorously in her heart, and her footsteps gradually became rhythmic. She heard Shu'er's singing suddenly stopped, and the King of Song on the white jade platform suddenly turned his head and looked towards the north bank.
Qingyu and Yifeng took advantage of King Song's turning and quickly stretched out their hands to pull Lin Ying down to squat down. The three of them hid themselves in the long grass and crawled slowly towards the broken wall in the south.
Liu stood up, faced the north bank of the lotus pond, and looked at it. Miss Yan, is that you?
Shu'er estimated that Lin Ying and the others had reached the low wall. She thought that Qingyu and Yi Feng would definitely be able to jump up, but Xiaoying would still need some time to climb the wall. She could hear the music that was being played just now.
, his elder brother’s piano music was very suitable, and at this time, his addiction to music was used to lure him down to the star-catching platform. So Shu’er walked north while singing another song that was popular in the Chen Kingdom,
"Sauvignon Blanc":
The mist of Chu River and the cold dusk
The lonely lamp is unclear on the passenger ship
I want to speak but stop and the sound of the piano stops
Rolling blinds looking into the south of Yudu
Sauvignon Blanc
Destroying the heart and liver
The autumn wind keeps cicadas chirping
Dreaming back to Dongyang disturbs my heart
Three Thousand Songs and Dances of Beijing
Fifty jars of Lanquan wine
Tasting herbs alone in Sichuan
Can't die from strange poison
Want to return to the countryside and live leisurely
Stand by and watch the world's affairs
Sauvignon Blanc
Long memories
I knew it would be so disturbing
Why didn't we know each other before?
Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc…
Shu'er's singing voice is sad and heartbreaking. Although Liu can also play the music of "Sauve Acacia", he has never heard its lyrics.
The song gradually faded away, and Liu Bian seemed to be pulled away from his soul. He couldn't help but stride down the ninety-nine white jade steps of the star-catching platform, stepped on a small boat by the lotus pond, and followed what was in his heart.
With a trace of tenderness, he paddled towards the north bank of the lotus pond. The originally calm and dark water in the pond was filled with sparkling water under the moonlight, just like the waves in Liu's heart, which flickered brightly and dimly.
Miss Yan, are you singing? Is there anyone else in the Song Palace who can sing Chen Guo's songs?
Miss Yan, I both hope it’s you and I hope it’s not you.
Miss Yan, haven't you left the White Jade Palace yet? I'm afraid that if you don't leave as soon as possible, I won't be able to help but keep you here!
Liu went away in search of the singing, but the singing went further and further away, disappearing into the deep palace.
Qingyu stood at the top of the wall, and Yifeng squatted in the corner. Lin Ying was stuck between the two of them. He held Qingyu's hand, stepped on Yifeng's shoulder, and finally adjusted to a position that allowed him to exert strength.
, I wanted to climb up to the ruins of the broken wall, but I was afraid of damaging the things in my arms, so I took out a large, flat purse from my arms.
Seeing that Lin Ying had stood firm, Yi Feng immediately stood up from his crouching position and wanted to help him climb up the palace wall.
Lin Ying was caught off guard by Yifeng's movement and was shaken, and the purse in her hand fell to the ground. He was about to let Yifeng pick it up, but was pulled up by Qingyu, and then fell down by Qingyu.
Outside the palace wall, he was rubbing his buttocks and moaning in a low voice that it hurt. Before he could tell Yifeng inside the palace wall, Yifeng had already jumped down beside him lightly.
Seeing that there was no one around in the back street, Lin Ying whispered: "I dropped my things in there!" But Qingyu had already pulled him towards a darker corner.
Yi Feng glanced at the King Huai Sword in Lin Ying's hand and said, "As long as the sword is not lost, nothing else matters." After saying that, he also took Lin Ying's arm and walked quickly to tell him not to go to the palace again.
Look in the direction of the wall.
Lin Ying resisted: "Your things are important, but mine are not important?"
Yifeng said: "If you drop something important, my lord will pick it up for you when he climbs over the wall and comes out later."
Lin Ying was dragged by Qingyu and Yifeng speechlessly, with regret in her heart. Alas, when a scholar meets a soldier, it is hard to explain why!
Shu'er walked around the pleasant garden filled with flowers from all over the lotus pond. Although she kept singing, her voice gradually became softer on purpose, making it seem as if she had left the lotus pond and the pleasant garden and went to the deep.
palace.
Shu'er heard Liu Chai's footsteps and heard him hurriedly stepping out of the pleasant garden. She ran lightly in the other direction. By the lotus pond, parked precariously on the small boat that Liu had just rowed. Shu'er
Er jumped onto the boat and rowed hard to the foot of the star-catching platform. She walked around the star-catching platform, jumped onto the low wall that was about to collapse, and left the White Jade Palace.

Liu held his qin and stood in the silent palace for a long time. He could no longer hear the singing, so he turned back sadly, only to see that the boat by the lotus pond had disappeared. He was not surprised, but curled his lips.
Miss Yan, I fell into your trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Liu walked slowly along the lotus pond. He knew that the four people should have left the White Jade Palace at this time. But he still wanted to take a look at the ruins. Perhaps, he could see a touch of light blue.
The corner of his clothes slipped through the night and left gracefully.
Under the palace wall, Liu leaned over and picked up a large, flat mulberry silk purse. There was no embroidery on the purse, and the color could not be seen clearly in the night. There was only a gold edge pattern, shining brightly. Liu pinched the purse, and there should be no spices inside.
Or broken silver, but a piece of paper folded in a square shape. The green and cold fragrance spread from the purse, and Liu recognized the fragrance.
Miss Yan, are these the dozen banknotes you brought from Chen State?
Liu put the purse in his arms and wanted to go back to Yongtai Hall to take a closer look.
It was late at night, and in the White Jade Palace, only the Yongtai Hall was brightly lit. Liu gently opened the gold-threaded and blue-backed purse, but what was inside was not a banknote, but a carefully folded painting.
The people in the painting are dressed as men, admiring flowers sideways, with lowered eyebrows and a slight smile. The cool green on the paper is fragrant, like flowers blooming, and the fragrance is astonishing.
Liu Jing looked at the people in the painting and suddenly returned to the Zhao Palace in Pingliang. At that time, the flowers in the Zhao Palace Garden were in full bloom, and they were cooking wine and playing the piano.
The King of Song Dynasty wrote a poem on the painting:
There is no end of the world, so I send you a song and a harp as a farewell.
