C616 Deja vu (2/2)
”Perhaps because I'm getting on in age, This Emperor suddenly feels sad. Imperial Concubine, you don't have to worry about This Emperor. This Emperor will go out for a walk, and Feng Degui will follow.” As Zhou Chengdi spoke, he stepped out, and Feng Degui hurried to follow.
Zhou Chengdi walked out of the yard and headed towards the depths of the garden.
”Feng Degui, who's talking about the lute so late in the night …”
”Your majesty, the musicians today should have been driven away by this servant.” He was about to call someone to stop the person playing the lute, but Zhou Chengdi had already followed the source of the sound.
As he walked into the courtyard, he saw a woman in white was playing with a lute with a mournful expression, as if she was thinking about something. When she sensed that someone was approaching, she hurriedly stood up and raised her head.
”Your Majesty, your servant, your servant …”
”What's your name?” Zhou Chengdi asked.
”This servant's name is Su, Su Huan Xiao …” ”Your servant felt that she didn't play well at today's banquet, so I decided to practice it during the night. I didn't think that I would disturb the emperor. Your servant deserves to die.” Su Han Xiao trembled in fear. Tears were about to fall from his watery eyes.
”No problem, I can't fall asleep. Play it again for me.” Zhou Chengdi waved his hand, and a guard immediately brought him a stool to sit on.
”Yes, this servant obeys …” Su Han Xiao accepted the order and returned to the place where he had been sitting.
”Red Lotus Incense and Remnants of Jade Stomp Autumn …”
The night was cool and the moonlight poured down silently. Zhou Chengdi stared at the woman before him as his gaze became distant. In his mind, the girl that died under his sword became clearer and clearer, gradually becoming one with the person in front of him.
”Zining, Zining...” ”In the end, it is I who have let you down. 18 years have passed, are you still hating me …” Zhou Chengdi murmured.
When Su Han Xiao heard the name the Emperor called, he could not help but slowly raise his head. He looked at the Emperor with a puzzled expression and asked,
”Your majesty, who is Zining?”
Zhou Cheng Di was pulled back from his thoughts. He then looked at the young appearance before him and asked, ”Your age?”
”Reporting to the emperor, this servant is 18 years old this year.” Su Han Xiao replied.
”Eighteen, Eighteen. At that time, she was also as old as you …” A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Cheng Emperor's lips.
”Your Majesty, she …” But your lover? ” Su Han Xiao gathered up his courage and asked.
Zhou Chengdi stood up, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and walked out of the room. Su He stood there with a smile on his face as he watched Zhou Chengdi leave. A hint of a smile flashed across his face.
Over the next few days at the banquet, Su Han Xiao continued to sit in front of the hall and sing a song, ”One Cut Plum”. At the banquet, Su Han Xiao continued to sit in front of the hall and sing a song, ”One Cut Plum”.
Xu Xianfei and Imperial Concubine Liang could only give up. This time, they couldn't figure out what was going on with Zhou Chengdi. The people he liked in the past had been used to enrich the harem. What was going on this time?
Pingzhou, Drunken Immortal Tavern, second floor.
The hall had always been filled with distinguished guests, but since the restaurant was reserved for the entire second floor, the Courtesan Belle of Drunken Immortal Restaurant, Liu Xuewu, played the zither for him alone.
At this moment, Liu Xue Wu was sitting in the center.
She wore a pink rose dress with scattered flowers on it. A silver ribbon was tied around her waist with a butterfly shaped jade pendant attached to it. Her face was painted with exquisite makeup and her eyes seemed to be brimming with radiance.
