C195 (2/2)
Han Liu rolled her eyes. In her eyes, Xiao Die was a foodie.
Before they even left the Sunset Pavilion, Rong Fei stopped walking and said, ”Elder sister, since we're here, why don't we enter the Sunset Pavilion to take a look. Actually, I've wanted to take a look since a long time ago, but didn't dare.”
Leng Qiyue actually wanted to go in as well, she didn't expect that Rong Fei would bring it up, so she immediately nodded and said, ”Okay, let's go take a look.”
The door to the Sunlight Pavilion was unlocked. After opening the door, a cloud of dust blew towards them, causing them to cough. When the dust had settled, the first thing he saw was a table covered with a pale green tablecloth.
Rong Fei said, ”This house has not been taken care of by anyone for the past ten years or so.”
Leng Qiyue did not say anything. She only knew a little about the matters of the palace, so she did not dare to speak carelessly. As the two of them walked in, the ground was left with messy footprints.
The furnishings here were relatively simple, the colors were mostly plain, and the atmosphere of a book filled the air.
Rong Fei sighed and said, ”The former Empress is the daughter of a great scholar in the pavilion, she is well-informed and kind-hearted. ”What a pity …”
She also felt that it was a pity, but she also felt that it was a pity that the late emperor and the former empress had originally been divine companions, but because of the empress dowager, they hadn't been able to live a good life.
The Morningstar Pavilion had two floors. The first floor was the study and the bedroom, while the other three walls were all bookshelves. The front window was wide open, and a light green muslin curtain was fluttering in the wind.
Because the windows were not closed, there was less dust here, but a lot of leaves flew in.
Rong Fei walked to the center of the room, where there was an ancient zither. She brushed away the leaves of the tree, touched the zither and said, ”The former Empress is the most talented girl in the capital.”
Leng Qiyue had learned music, and it took a lot of effort for her to learn such a thing.
She fiddled with the strings of the zither, and her voice slightly changed. After adjusting for a moment, she asked, ”Does little sister want to listen to music?”
Rong Fei laughed carelessly, ”Big sister knows the rhythm? ”Then little sister will listen attentively. Little sister, you are too timid, don't scare me.”
Leng Qiyue faintly smiled, ignoring Rong Fei's teasing. She thought about the tone for a bit, and then tried a few times. After that, a Dreamy Cloud Dragon song, ”Dream back to Jiangnan”, flowed out …
”In my dream, I flew back to Jiangnan in one night. The picturesque scene made my soul linger around, making me miss home from my homeland. The beautiful Jiangnan is like a picture scroll, the beautiful scenery makes people linger around, the beautiful scenery makes me feel like I'm living in the world …”
As Leng Qiyue sang, she suddenly felt homesick, and tears started streaming down her face.
Rong Fei also felt a bit sad. She didn't want to compare to her, as her home was in the capital, she could just go back if she wanted to. However, Leng Qiyue was different. It was said that her home was very far away from the capital. As the saying went, once you entered the palace, it was as deep as the sea. It was very difficult to step outside.
Dongfang Haotian stood outside the door of the Sunrise Pavilion, listening to the sad song. He felt very upset in his heart. Was Leng Qiyue thinking of home? Did she want to leave him?
Butterfly Concubine's face was filled with surprise. She had never known that Leng Qiyue had this kind of intelligence. It was a strange song. Had she made it herself? What else was this woman hiding?
The more Dongfang Haotian heard, the more troubled he became. He finally shouted: ”Enough! What are you guys doing trespassing the forbidden area?”
