Do you have any sweet bedtime stories?
My name is Dongshi, and posterity says I am ugly.
My neighbor’s name is Xi Shi.
From the beginning, you all know that Xi Shi is beautiful, but you don’t know that her legend almost fell on my head. In the village of Xi Shi
and I, there was a woman who was said to have stayed in the palace when she was young. All the children in the
village like to listen to her stories, and we are no exception.
When Xi Shi was young, she dared to think that she loved to hear the heroic king dote on the beautiful queen and the brave and strong girl lay down her territory for her love.
She is always pulling my bounce, fantasizing about those stories posted on her blog.
I have always been cautious. In the story of my grandmother, I heard the husbands who were replaced by the Queen. They have disappeared from the story ever since.
Zhuang fought for the girl he loved, and after the girl left, he went to fight for the new girl.
I always want to persuade Xi Shi not to think too much, but to find a family to marry, to have children, and to live here.
But looking at her dreamy eyes, I swallowed the words on my lips every time.
It’s just a dream. When we get married during the Spring Festival, she will forget the excitement of the present.
In this way, we listened to the woman every day, I do not know how many times to tell the story, gradually.
The village says that Xi Shi and I are two flowers.
Xi Shi’s face, thin eyebrows and eyes, my oval face, eyes.
There are those who like Xi Shi’s appearance and say that she comes out on top; there are those who like my appearance and say that I am better than others.
I don’t think much about these comments. Grandma’s story has been told over and over again. The beautiful and proud husband finally lost to the wise and calm queen.
But the appearance is not as important as the world says.
Xi Shi is different. She is always worried about which one of us looks better. She purses her lips and frowns. She complains in front of me, “Since I’m here, why do I want you?”.
Xi Shi is sick, so she can’t. The friendship between
us is unusual. In order to make her laugh,
I followed the example of her when she was ill.
It’s just that I’m not as pitiful as she is. I’m deliberately slanting my mouth and eyes, pretending to be ugly and making her happy. When
Xi Shi saw my strange appearance, she giggled and felt much better.
I learned to be good, and from then on, she praised me and acted as strange as she could.
I happened to be looked at by a young man on the road. He stared at us for a long time, asked the neighbors carefully, and looked straight at us. He looked at me and said, “I made up a word for you.”.
The man is handsome and refined, so he doesn’t come from the village.
His eyes rolled back and forth on me and Xi Shi, his mouth was full of smiles, and his deep eyes surprised me.
Xi Shi was so naive that she didn’t understand the world and wanted to talk to him. I pulled her away in a hurry. Lu warned her that we village girls couldn’t afford such a man.
Xi Shi had to stamp her feet. “He passed away as soon as he saw it. I was just about to ask him about the prosperity outside, but you disturbed the situation!” I shut up and just pulled her sleeve and held it tighter.
Xi Shi is impulsive by nature, and I’m really afraid that she will make trouble one day.
Far away, I looked back. The man was still standing there staring at us. When I looked back, he raised his arm and waved to me.
Our kingdom of Yue was defeated, and the king was taken captive to the kingdom of Wu.
Such a thing is not popular in our village.
After all, in Nomura, no matter who rules the roost, we have clothes and food.
It’s just that Xi Shi and I met a woman sitting at home basking in the sun on our way. When she
looked at us, she narrowed her eyes, and her voice was like a curse. “In troubled times, when the country looks bad, I’m afraid there will be misfortune.”.
Xi Shi jumped up and down all the way, but did not listen to the woman. And
I kept it. Think
carefully about the story she told, it seems that during the war, all the beautiful people really have no good end.
I thought about it and made up my mind. Tu, dressed in rags and slovenly, was hunched over the road for fear of losing my true face.
I advised Xi Shi to do the same, and she squinted at me. “You’re lost.”.
How much you envy us, but you have to pretend to be ugly.
“I told her stories about the tragic end of those beauties, and she was not moved at all.” If I were them, this would not be the end.
She did not speak again, and I guessed that she was dreaming of a queen. I was
vaguely uneasy, and I lived with her every day, fearing that she would cause trouble.
Especially recently, there are always strangers coming and going in the village, and I always feel that someone is staring at us by the Huansha Stream.
After three or five days, I don’t know where the legend came from. Our village has Qingguo, and the beauty of Huansha is heavy.
I was even more frightened and pulled Xi Shi to coax her and asked her to restrain some brilliance. Unmoved,
Xi Shi was pleased. “If I could take this opportunity to get out of this village and know the prosperous world, that would be a good thing.”.
I am afraid that she will rely on her cleverness and suffer losses.
Seeing that she didn’t care, I sighed and could only stare at her. The two of
us have sex, and I feel my back staring.
Suddenly looking back, the young man stood behind me with a smile, beside a comely, full of cold.
The man looked back at me and greeted me with a smile: “Girl, here we are.”.
I quickly turned around, not daring to speak.
Xi Shi laughed. “I was just about to talk to you when I asked my sister to pull it.”.
“The man chuckled, slanted his head and said,” Yue, which one of them can sink?
His eyes were like a sharp edge, and he swept them coldly. Even if it was the courage of Xi Shi, they were all frightened. She raised her
chin and pointed at Xi Shi.
The man laughed out loud. “I’m afraid you guessed wrong.”. I
turned to look at him in surprise, but he winked at me and stopped talking. When I came home
in the evening, I was surprised when I entered the house. The man was sitting on the ground in my yard, chatting and dancing with my father. When
I came back, my father jumped up as if he were ten years younger. “Dongshi, this Duke is going to send you to the palace.”. I
am so cold that I look at men like snakes and scorpions.
The man looked at me with a wink and sat on the ground without speaking.
My father circled around me, looking at me as if I were a treasure. He said, “When you go to the palace to eat and drink spicy food, we will also benefit from it.”.
My father didn’t know that a village girl like me would be lucky to survive three years in the palace.
It’s just that if I tell him to listen, he won’t believe me.
Seeing that my father packed up Li, he wanted to pack me up and send me out. I thought about it and couldn’t find a way. In a hurry, I lowered my head and bumped into the courtyard.
The courtyard is strong. I hit it too much and it will bounce out. Warm on the
forehead, I lifted touch, a crack, all over the face.
I’m relieved. It’s all over. It’s not because of my appearance.
Dad exclaimed and ran forward, but he slowed down. The
man darted in front of me, stretched out to help me up, and looked at my eyes in surprise and uncertainty, more deep and deep.
I looked at him with pleading eyes.
He looked at me in an instant.
After a moment, he smiled and shone brightly. “That’s all, I’ll do what you want.”.
“Then he turned to my father and said,” You’re already disfigured. You can’t get into the palace. Keep it and get married. Then
the man turned his head and turned face to face with me, sticking to the tip of his nose.
He stared at me until I blushed and lowered his head, only to hear him whisper, “Remember, my name is Fan Li.”.
I saw Fan Li go out of my house and step forward into Xi Shi’s house.
I know that by the nature of Xi Shi, it is necessary to promise the palace. There are three thousand beauties in
the palace. Xi Shi has an empty appearance. I’m afraid she will die nine times.
But I was afraid of Fan Li, so I didn’t dare to rush to Xi Shi’s house. I was so
anxious that I went round and round at home, hoping that Xi Shi could remember my half words.
A moment later, I heard laughter.
My feet were cold, and she finally said yes.
No, Xi Shi rushed out of her house and came straight to me.
I covered my forehead and smiled at her from a distance.
She was overjoyed. “Dongshi, I’m getting closer to the queen!” I looked at her, and I couldn’t get excited.
I know that if I say anything to her again, it will be all right.
From now on, she is destined to stand in the story and write the legend.
Beyond her shape, I look at Fan Li.
His shadow was pulled in the light, his eyes were like ink, and he looked at me like a smile.
I was looked down by him. With a chuckle
, I raised my head. Fan Li slanted his head to look at me. The smile on his mouth had not yet stopped. My
cheeks were so hot that I dared not look him in the eye and turned my head away.
Xi Shi pulled me and kept talking, and I saw Fan Li leave.
He walked leisurely, singing a song in the middle: “There is a beautiful country, and its name is Dongshi.”.
Seemingly blunt, intelligent.
His clear voice echoed around me all night.
Xi Shi ran to my window in the middle of the night and talked with me half the night, but I was absent-minded.
The next morning, Xi Shi came to say goodbye to me.
I don’t think I can be bored with her in the future, so it’s like being gouged out and tears fall down.
She also cried red eyes and looked at me, and no one could speak.
Thousands of words are hard to say, and in the end I can only send her a sentence, “Think deeply about everything, and take care of yourself.”.
She nodded in agreement and turned to meet her.
I heard her say that she was going to be sent to King Wu Palace.
Today, from now on the road is far, I am afraid this can not meet again.
Thinking about the friendship, I burst into tears, but I was afraid of her burden, so I had to hold back my sobs and send her up with a smile.
Without Xi Shi, I was listless and lonely.
Until Fan Li came to my house.
I thought he wouldn’t come to this village again if he picked up Xi Shi.
But not only did he come, but he also came with a box.
The boxes were lined up in my yard, and when his servants opened them, they were full of silk belongings.
This is the betrothal gift. I want to marry Dongshi.
Fan Li said lightly to my father, looking deeply at me and raising his mouth as if he were smiling. After
I was disfigured, my father said I couldn’t get married.
Now I am asked to marry by this noble, and my father is happy to be strong and jump three feet.
Fan Li said he wanted to marry me as soon as possible, and he quickly nodded yes. When
I was still in shock, I became the wife of Fan Li.
Fan Li was so close to me that he didn’t care about his father or his fellow countrymen. He said to me, “In the future, you will be the wife of the Fan family, and you will no longer cover your face. I can protect you thoroughly.”.
My face burned again, and I couldn’t help thinking that if he always talked to me like that, maybe one day I would wake up.
Fan Li sent the betrothal gift and left, and I became another object of envy in the village besides Xi Shi.
The woman said, “It’s hard to predict whether Xi Shi is a blessing or a curse, but I can rely on the latter half.”.
Because Fan Li loves me.
Does Fan Li love me?
In the middle of the night, I thought hard, but I didn’t feel anything brilliant. Like
him, there is no shortage of Bian Meiran.
I was thinking about getting married, thinking about how to let Xi Shi know my good news. There was a “thump”
outside the window, and I was used to talking with Xi Shi through the window at night. When I was in a trance, I thought Xi Shi was coming.
I opened the window to see that it was Fan Li.
His handsome face was warm and bright by the candlelight, and he looked at me and smiled steadily.
I blushed and bowed my head in silence.
Fan Li took Zhang Jian and handed her to him. “Well, I know you’re thinking about Xi Shi. She’s the news.”. When
I heard the news from Xi Shi, I quickly grabbed Jane and looked at it. There were a lot of crooked words on it, and I didn’t know any of them.
I just remembered. I can’t read.
Fan Li seemed to see my frustration. He took Jane over and read to me slowly, “Dongshi, are you all right?”?
I am very happy now.
My husband’s name is Fuchai. He has the widest shoulders and the strongest heart in the world. Like a child,
he would hold me in a circle every day when he came back to the palace. He also promised me that he would never look at anything else in the future.
My life is so good that such a heroic man loves me like a pearl.
I imagined Xi Shi’s quaint expression at that time, and I couldn’t help laughing softly.
Fan Li went on to say, “I can’t read. This was written for me by my fierce sister who was with Brother Fan last time.”.
Brother Fan said, I am very important to you, and I want my sister to protect me.
In fact, my husband is very brave, and does not help my sister.
By the way, she said that brother Fan liked you, and she talked about you.
She also said, “Brother Fan won’t be able to propose marriage to your father.” When I touched my face, it was boiling hot.
Fan Li looked at me and smiled more and more deeply.
I bowed my head and did not dare to speak. He leaned against the window lattice and watched me, but did not speak.
It was not until late at night that he left with a light smile. Five or five months later, I married Fan Li. On the
wedding day, I was dizzy and tossed about all day, and finally I was able to rest on the wedding bed at night.
The squeak went on.
I looked down and saw the boots slowly approaching.
Just reach over and gently lift my chin.
I looked up and saw Fan Li squinting and smiling at me.
I remembered that the bride had said that she would make her husband happy on the night of the wedding.
I smiled at Fan Lulu, perhaps in a panic. It was so tight that it hurt his mouth and made him laugh heartily. In his hearty laughter,
he blew out the candle and held me in his arms. First, I seriously became the wife of Fan Li and the housewife of Fan Fu.
Fan Li was a caring man. No matter how busy he was, he would come back as soon as possible at night and hold me in his arms. He taught me to read, to read, to think, and to do accounts.
I learned from him that his wealth was so amazing that he could buy half of Yue.
Fan Li asked me to sit on his lap, put my arms around my waist, put my chin on my shoulder, buried my nose in my hair, and deeply inhaled the smell of peach blossoms in my hair: If you hadn’t been smart and indifferent, and knew how to keep clumsy, I would never have told you the bottom.
No, he said, I also know that if such a family spreads, I don’t know how many of them will kill us.
As Fan Li taught, it is called the sin of Huai Bi.
Fan Li gave all his family, including his life, to me. I was gratified and grateful. I did my best to take care of him. I was so busy that my feet did not touch the ground.
He had more and more things to do, and when he returned to the mansion, he always frowned, as if he were doing a hundred things.
We lit candles in the study every night, and he wrote letters or buried himself in thought; I wrote accounts and thought about the affairs of the house.
We are busy and sleep in each other’s arms in the middle of the night. The servant girl in the
mansion laughed at me. The newlyweds became husband and wife after only three days.
My father came to the house to see me, dressed like a rich man.
He came to the mansion and looked around for the servant girl. With a heavy face, he advised me, “You are not as charming as Xi Shi. When you are a man, you always get tired of it.”.
It’s better to find a servant girl for him. He thinks you are virtuous.
My father is gone, and I meditate and say nothing. I
know I’m not as charming as Xi Shi. For a long time, if Fan Li is used to my appearance, he may be bored with me.
I was afraid of the stories of women who were spoiled and arrogant and had a miserable end. I thought about it left and right, but I was not sure that I could make Fan Li like the world.
First, I chose a bright and beautiful servant girl and told them to go into the study to wait on her.
I hid in the bedroom, covered with silence, sour, eyes unconsciously shed tears, wet clothes.
After a while, Fan Li still did not return to his room, and I became more and more heavy.
Although I knew it was all like this, it was hard to be depressed after all, and I couldn’t help crying out.
Just reach over and wipe away my tears.
I knew it was Fan Li, but I didn’t look up.
For the first time, I want to bet with.
I turned around, twisted the quilt, and did not speak.
Fan Lihe lay beside me, hugging me lightly and patting me.
I put up with it and finally got out. “You’ve been in the study for so long.”.
Fan Li’s light laughter rang out beside me, with a hint of Nai. I have a general in my house, but none of them is married.
I saw that the girl in the study looked good, so I promised them all to go out. When I
heard this, I turned around. Fan Li had already closed his eyes. Go to sleep. In the end, don’t think about it any more.
I smiled and curled my eyes, but I didn’t know. I promised in a low voice and got into his arms. I slept soundly at night.
Fan Li was getting busier and busier. Every night he would shut himself up in his study and sleep on his couch.
The side servant girl said to me secretly, Fan Li must be disgusted with me, afraid that there will be new entrants.
I smiled and said nothing.
Remembering what he had said that night, I resolved secretly that if I would believe it, I would believe it to the end.
Doubtful, I’m sorry.
I took care of his daily life and drinking as usual, but he did not speak, so I took the account book to calculate the collection in the house, and did not disturb him too much.
All right, Fan Li didn’t say a word to me, and he lost half of his weight.
I was in so much pain that I could only send him soup, hoping that he would eat more. Why does
he worry? If he doesn’t want to say, why should I ask and make him worry.
A few days later, I took the soup for him as usual, and he did not know what to think. Without a word,
I gently put down the soup and turned to go out.
Fan Li stopped me.
He called me over and handed me Jane Zhang.
I knew it was Xi Shi, so I took it.
Now that I could read roughly, I read on: “Dongshi, I heard that you married Fan Li. I’m really happy for you!”! Sister Yue said that you and he were both smart and would last for a long time.
I am very good recently. My husband spoils me as before. The palace sends me a lot of beauty. He doesn’t even look at it. He accompanies me every day after the court.
I sometimes think that if he were a common man and lost his splendor, I would treat him as before, love him and respect him.
I was surprised. Why did Xi Shiping say this.
I went on to look down. “I’ve had a lot of Gong lately, and Sister Yue says they’re all Yue.”.
They forced me to speak ill of me, but I didn’t want to say anything. I knew they always scolded me, but they were really good to my husband.
But they said that if I was not obedient, they would tell my husband that I had come to harm him.
I’m scared. I don’t want to hurt the other one, and I don’t want my husband to hate me.
They thought I was in the way. Recently, they looked at me with ferocious eyes. I also heard them discuss how to let Zheng Dan compete for favor. Shocked,
I put down Jane and grabbed Fan Li. When he taught me to read, the allusions he told me came to my head. Suddenly
I understood Xi Shi’s task and seemed to see her end.
I looked at Fan Li, and he looked at me, and there was guilt in the light, and more firmness.
I burst into tears and choked with sobs, just pulling Fan Li.
He sighed and smoothed the broken hair on his temples for me. Tired, he said, “Let me go. If I send her over, she will surely save Xi Shi’s life.”.
I know that this is the only thing I can ask for in the matter of home and country.
I nodded in a panic and sat beside Fan Li in silence. He frowned and pondered under the lamp. I recalled the dribs and drabs from Xi Shi.
I seemed to have lost my soul, which scared Fan Li. For the first time,
he did not sleep in the study, hugged me to the bedroom, hugged me and patted me to sleep.
I kept silent, but when he blew out the lamp and candle, I begged him in a hoarse voice, “I can’t control anything else, and I don’t want to, but Xi Shi’s life, please save it.”.
Fan Li nodded, and we hugged each other tightly, each sleepless.
First, thinking I was asleep, Fan Li pecked me on the cheek and said in a low voice, “Let me go.”.
And he went out.
I was in the quilt, and tears ran down my face.
Think of the danger after Xi Shi, and then think of her brilliant sex that day, I wish I could go back to the day she ascended, fight for her to hate me, but also to destroy her face, marry an ordinary villager, and bring up peace.
Fan Li is still busy, and I am in charge of the house to share his worries. I
just miss Xi Shi from time to time, and like Fan Li, I lose weight quickly. Seeing that I was fading,
Fan Li held me in his arms and whispered, “Let Xi Shi go to Wu. Have you ever hated me?”.
“I thought about it and unloaded it. It was all up to him.” She chose the road, and she can’t blame anyone.
But I want to stay for her.
After all, in troubled times, who can blame who.
Fan Li said that he would let me pass on more information and tell me to put more.
Xi Shi’s Jane came a little more frequently.
Sometimes she was so happy that her husband taught her how to read and how to perform sword dance, and led her to see all the prosperity and beautiful scenery of Wu.
She said that Fuchai did what he said and beat her into the palace. She really didn’t see any other eyes.
Sometimes she was very sad, and the palace forced her to say what she didn’t want to say. They seemed to be sure that she had true feelings for Fuchai. They didn’t dare to let Fuchai know why he went to the palace and drove her to death every time.
Sometimes she was afraid. Zheng Dan was always around Fuchai. She said that Zheng Dan was as smart as me. She was afraid that Zheng Dan would take Fuchai away from her.
More often than not, she sighed that if Fuchai were just an ordinary citizen, it would be nice to be with her ordinary husband and wife.
I often had nightmares about Xi Shi being poisoned by the palace because she was disobedient. When she heard this, Fuchai rejected her and jumped from the stage. When the State of Wu won a battle, Xi Shi was regarded as an enemy and sent to the cold palace. When the State of Wu suffered a defeat, Xi Shi, as the wife of the State of Wu, was arrested and imprisoned by the State of Yue.
I woke up again and again in a cold sweat.
Fan Li no longer slept in his study. No matter how late it was, he would come to my side and hug me to sleep. Wake up late
at night, he is always awake, gently patted me, the light is gentle, let me calm down.
He has a strange capacity to believe all his words.
Up to now, I can only believe that he can save Xi Shi’s life on the last day.
I watched Fan Li getting busier and busier, the government coming more and more frequently, and their deliberations getting longer and longer.
I count and wait for that day to come. In the
afternoon, Fan Li went back to the mansion, touched my hair and looked at me silently.
What I mentioned for a long time suddenly fell down, and I couldn’t bear it.
Go ahead, I can stand it.
I caught Fan Li and looked him in the eye.
We have won, and Fuchai is dead.
Fan Li said slowly.
My form stopped and stiffened. “Where is Xi Shi?”? In the midst of the
chaos, she was robbed, and the more she didn’t follow her.
Fan Li spoke with difficulty.
“Oh.”.
I didn’t know what to say, so I answered lightly.
I want to go out and think about it, even if I don’t know what to think about. At the moment of
turning, I suddenly remembered what my wife had said in those years. You are the lotus flowers of both sides. I hope you can have a good ending in the future.
I had Fan Li, and she had Fuchai. How happy I was.
But now, I’m the only one blooming in the world. What’s the point.
My legs were weak, and I fell down in front of my eyes.
When I woke up, Fan Li sat beside me, his eyes full of worry.
I managed to pull out a smile and touch his face.
His eyes are already lightly wrinkled. I am for Xi Shi, and he is for the State of Yue. We have all suffered.
But I still have to be fine. If Xi Shi is still alive and found, I have to protect her. Struggling to get up,
I called the servant girl to fetch her new clothes. “I heard you say that there must be a celebration banquet for victory, and you all have to take your wives with you.”.
Fan Li held me in his arms and said guiltily, I have sent all my subordinates to look for Xi Shi everywhere. As long as she is still alive, I can always find her.
I nodded.
I believe in Fan Li. If he says he wants to find something, he will do it. Dressed in a luxurious robe,
I followed Fan Li into the palace and went to King Gou Jian of Yue for the first time.
His face was waxy and his eyes were dark, which made him uncomfortable to look at. The queen beside
him had two deep lines on her lips, and her lips were tight. She looked like a vulture, as if Gou Jian were even more terrible.
I followed Fan Lili, and when I looked up, I saw the king of Yue staring at me with bright eyes.
Fan Li hid me silently behind his back and smiled at me meaningfully, which made my back chill.
I bowed my head, followed Fan Li, and sat down quietly. When he
looked up at Fan Li, he nibbled.
Fan Li sleeps with me every night, and I am familiar with him. If
he bites, he is angry.
I looked at the throne again, and the king of Yue looked me up and down, and the queen sneered.
The palace of the king is quiet and deep, and the undercurrent is floating. After three rounds of
drinking, the king of Yue blushed and spoke gradually.
He clapped his hands and smiled, “I got a peerless dance. Look, who can recognize her?”. The sound of
silk sounded, and a graceful shadow, covered with gauze, danced gracefully. The king
of Yue looked pleased with himself. “From now on, all the beauty in the world will be mine.”. As he
spoke, he gave me a sidelong glance.
I felt that Fan Li on the side was completely stiff, and his bite made a “cluck” sound.
I shook and spilled half of the wine.
Fan Li hurriedly called to wipe and gently poked me.
When I came to my senses, the Queen looked at me, and I sat uneasily as if I were being stared at by a wild animal. The waves and clouds in the
temple are treacherous, but I can’t care about it at the moment.
I looked at the dance, and she covered her face, but I could see that she was Xi Shi.
My sweat ran down and washed away the lead powder on my face.
I don’t know how Xi Shi got to the Yue Palace, but I have an intuition that living under the King and Queen of Yue is a hundred times more dangerous in Wu. Xi Shi and
I were inseparable the year before last, and I guessed what she was going to do with her eyes. When she
saw me, she was silent and her eyes were desolate and determined. When she glanced at the king of Yue, her hatred was so deep that she could not hide it.
Seeing her getting closer and closer to the king of Yue, I looked at the throne, and the queen looked down at her, her face was clear and inscrutable.
I turned to look at Fan Li, who was surprised and looked at me sideways.
I whispered to him, “Please.”.
When I saw Fan Li nodding his head slightly, I exclaimed, “Wine is poisonous!” Bite the tip hard and spit it out.
The palace was in chaos, and all the guards rushed to the palace, embracing the king and queen of Yue to the harem.
I opened my eyes slightly and saw the queen staring at me with an evil smile, cold and fierce.
Fan Li took advantage of the chaos and blew his whistle. The shadow in front of
my eyes, as fast as lightning, swept away Xi Shi in the center of the hall.
Didn’t notice a dance.
Fan Li gently pinched my palm, and I finally put it down.
My Xi Shi is finally back. When Fan Li and
I returned to the mansion, Xi Shi had changed into ordinary clothes and stood in the study, looking at the Jane she had written to me.
Hearing my footsteps, she looked back at me, still like snow, but haggard.
I stepped forward quickly and hugged her tightly, as if I were holding a lost treasure.
In this troubled times, we are involved, and finally we can still be together. How nice it is.
I suddenly felt that naivety was really kind to me.
Xi Shi is not as happy as I am.
Her body was cold and her eyes were covered with dust and frost, as if she were old.
She is no longer as beautiful as peaches and plums, beautiful spring.
I saw the deep accumulation of loss and desolation in her eyes.
My husband is dead.
It was the first thing she had said, and it was muffled.
I don’t know what to answer, but I can only wipe away the tears for her.
He said he knew why I went to Wu, but he just couldn’t leave me.
Xi Shi covered her face and wept bitterly.
I opened my mouth, still not knowing what to say. I
imagined Fuchai, whom Xi Shi had described to me. He was heroic and brave. From time to time, he would like to give his life to her.
Xi Shi put her arms around me, sobbing like a child. “When the army invaded the palace, he called for me to die.”. No matter how
I pulled him, he wouldn’t leave with me.
He said that he had defeated Wu, and he would die in battle to apologize.
“The last thing he said to me was that he wanted me to live and remember him!” I listened in silence, as if there was a handsome man standing in front of me, looking at Xi Shi, smiling as warm as the winter sun.
He looked at Xi Shi for a while and looked at me imploringly, as if to ask me to take care of her.
I nodded yes in a trance, and then blinked, the shadow had disappeared.
Many years later, I didn’t figure out whether the man was my imagination or whether Fuchai couldn’t let go of Xi Shi and Lu followed him. With a sigh,
I helped Xi Shi sit down, patted her on the back, and said in a gentle voice, “So you tried to cheat death, went to the King of Yue, and tried to stab him?”?
“Xi Shi nodded and said in a low voice,” I know I won’t succeed even if I die, but I should do something for Fuchai.
“I held her in my arms.” The only thing you can do is to tell the world that Fuchai is a good man.
“Xi Shi looked up and said,” He is good. He is the best I’ve ever had! ” I advised her in a soft voice, “From now on, he will become dissolute, cruel and violent like King Zhou in the world.”.
Do you put up with him being passed on so badly?
Xi Shi shook her head violently. “No, they can’t say that about him!” I’d like to give her a few more words of advice. Fan Li hurried in. “The queen is the shrewdest. I’m afraid I’ve discovered that you’re pretending to be poisoned.”. The
Kingdom of Yue is in our place. Hurry up and leave with me! I am anxious for his God, thinking that he has placed into the palace, cicadas have changed dramatically. When I was in a
hurry, I couldn’t say much, so I pulled up Xi Shi, who was out of her mind, and picked up the important things according to Fan Li’s orders.
More already set up, waiting there. When
we came out, she only said, “I have ordered you to go to your home, so we can have a reunion.”.
Xi Shi’s face was amused, and she followed me around like a doll. There was a noise
in the distance and the light was approaching. I finally looked at the ground, bit my head and left.
10 And we fled by night, and came to Israel. Xi Shi and
I were placed by Fan Li at the seaside. Fan Li had only a little silver left. We had to do our work like years ago.
Fan Li hugged me and repeatedly said that he was sorry for me.
But I feel very happy.
In this world, there is Fan Li who loves me, and Xi Shi stays by my side safely. My father was taken over by Yue, and every time he was leisurely.
This is better than immortals.
Xi Shi only talked to me when she looked at me, and the rest of the time she was like a chicken and did not speak.
I once talked with her all night long, but finally I came back. Fuchai had already brought that beautiful and brilliant young man with him, and it would be difficult for her to smile in the future.
It doesn’t matter. As long as she’s alive, we can still be together. It doesn’t matter.
Fan Li began to be busy, and he said that in five years, we would have a good time in Yue.
I do. Of course I do.
Whatever this man wants to do, there is nothing he can’t do.
Sure enough, five years later, Fan Fu has become a well-known rich family, and the people around him have benefited and become richer and richer.
Fan Li’s actions alarmed the king, and he was often summoned to the palace to teach the king how to improve.
My father said that his ancestors had burned it, so he had this good relationship.
I thought that if he knew the news that Fan Li had brought back recently, he would be so happy that he could not-the king had already worshipped Fan Li as prime minister.
I sometimes think that Fan Li is a man who knows magic, and how difficult it is for him, it’s like a three-year-old child’s game.
But after these things, I have a natural fear of being an official. I still shiver when I
think of the gloomy palace of Yue and the beastly eyes of the king and queen of Yue.
Fan Li saw my fear. He held me in his arms and whispered, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll protect you wherever and whenever I can.”.
I hesitated, but did not speak.
If being an official is Fan Li’s ambition, how can I take away what he likes.
But after all, it was like the last year in Yue, sleeping every night.
Fan Li knew that I was worried, but he did not comfort me as he did in Yue.
He pursed his lips, his brows were heavy, and the night was busy.
Xi Shi said that Fan Li was not good to me, but he ignored my worries.
If it’s Fuchai.. At the mention of Fuchai, she frowned, shed tears, and became dull.
I held her hand, trying to warm her cold fingertips. Fuchai
must have been so good to her that the world was hard to find, so she mourned for him.
But Fan Li and I are different from them.
Xi Shi and Fu Chai are strong cooking oil, and only when they are burned out can they be counted.
We are a trickle, not exposed.
I believe in Fan Li, he has me, only me. If
he does not care about me, there must be a reason not to care about me.
In a twinkling of an eye, Fan Li worshipped the prime minister for three years.
He came back with joy in his eyes and told me to go to the study and close it and whisper to me.
I secretly wonder, this year Fan Li is more and more unhappy, I have not shown him a relaxed look for a long time.
Dongshi, Gou Jian is dead.
Fan Likai shocked me.
I looked at him without a word, knowing that he must have something to say.
Sure enough, he went on to say, “Gou Jian died suddenly, and the queen succeeded to the throne.”.
I remembered the clenched and clenched fist of Fan Li when Gou Jian looked at me in the palace of the State of Yue.
And the gloomy Pang of the Queen of Yue.
This matter has something to do with your worship of the prime minister, doesn’t it?
I asked him, but I was sure.
Fan Li smiled and buried his face in my hair. “I can’t covet you, not even the king!” He said in a muffled voice. Rubbing his face like a child, he said, “I know you don’t like me being an official. I’ve already avenged myself. I’ve already scattered all my money. I just want to leave.”.
The king has given permission.
We’re really going to be ordinary people this time. I
lowered my head, and the smile on my face was getting deeper and deeper, and I couldn’t hide it. More than 11 years later, Fan Li and I settled down by the lake, with Sun around our knees. Every time
Fan Li rode for Sun, he carried Sun to the lake to feed him, just like an ordinary man, and no one could see that he was as rich as a country.
Sun said that in the future he wanted to find someone to accompany him. He smiled and pointed at me, “The most beautiful one is already there. You can look for it like this.”.
I can’t help laughing. I have long had chicken and crane hair. When I was young, my beauty was like a passing foal. What else can I say is the most beautiful.
I looked into the distance. Xi Shi was sitting on the ground, surrounded by a group of children. I heard her say that there used to be a man named Fuchai, who was the best in the world. From a distance, leaning on my crutches,
I saw her hunched over, and I always thought of her bouncing around me a long time ago when I was swimming by the stream: “I’m going to be a king in the future. I won’t get lost.”
