Du Zhu and the Empress Dowager’s Various Matters (46)
He was Jun Buyan, and she was not the Empress Dowager, but the ordinary identity of Bai Weiwei .
The interactions between the pair of them was as light as water, never overstepping the line by even half a step .
But for him, he saw a different side of her .
Her shy smile, her occasionally clumsy but unusually cute side .
She softly spoke of his gentleness .
He felt that their relationship was slowly changing, and he even felt that one day she would accept their pairing .
But the way she regarded him just now was… letting go .
Bai Weiwei knocked on the door, she waited for a while before Jun Buyan opened the gate .
His breath was a little messy, but he soon returned to his usual appearance .
Bai Weiwei looked at him kindly, “I have something to say to you, do you have time?”
Jun Buyan’s dark and murky eyes sank, he smiled, “Of course, I very much welcome you . ”
Bai Weiwei walked in with him, Mu Yanjun posed perfectly as Jun Buyan, the house was set up to resemble a scholar’s home .
It was a whole house crammed with books, as well as brushes and paper .
Bai Weiwei walked over and saw a picture on the table .
Above was a picture of a woman’s back, sim and slender, fair as the moon .
Jun Buyan peeked at the painting, his heart was a little nervous . He liked her and couldn’t help but draw a picture, just now he was too rushed and didn’t put it away .
Bai Weiwei smiled, “What woman is this? Is this Jun Gongzi’s sweetheart?”
Jun Buyan pressed his lips, and finally a light sentence, “Yes . ”
Bai Weiwei’s smile deepened, “Ai, I am the same as Jun Gongzi, both of us have an interest in drawing the people we love . ”
Then she reached over for the brush on the table and smoothly drew the back of a man on the painting .
Inside the drawing was a man in a white robe, carrying a book box, and holding a bamboo umbrella, an exuberant spirit, a handsome and clear manner .
She also gently wrote a few words at the end . The mountain’s have trees, ah, and trees possess leaves, the heart cheers for Jun, ah, but Jun can’t perceive . 1
There are trees on the mountain and everyone knows there are leaves on the trees . And I like you so much, but you don’t know .
Jun Buyan read the poem, and just thought both their hearts had been moved .
The violent ecstasy made him feel somewhat dizzy .
【Ding, the male lead’s favorability is at 90 . 】
Bai Weiwei put down the brush, her eyes were clever, and her smile was pretty .
“Asking Gongzi, do you perceive?”
Jun Buyan only felt that sentence was praising him but did not know why, he suddenly took the brush .
He wrote next to the words she had written: Dawn sees sky’s tint dusk’s setting sun, walk too thinks Jun, sit too thinks Jun . 2
His response was, watching the sky in the morning and watching the sky in the evening, I miss you when walking, and when sitting also miss you .
After writing, he finally responded, “I just knew . ”
The two gazed at each other and smiled, softly and exceptionally lovingly .
The tenderness in Bai Weiwei’s eyes could overflow .
“I used to think that I would never meet my own happiness . ”
Jun Buyan was distracted, he recalled her life in the palace, and indeed she had a bad time back then .
Bai Weiwei expression suddenly brought a touch of sadness, “In fact, I used to have feelings in my heart for a man . ”
Jun Buyan eyes sank, feelings in her heart, was it him?
“But we were not destined to be together, I could not understand how my heart moved for him, I thought I could never let that relationship go . ”
Jun Buyan thought the bad feeling in his heart was becoming more and more intense .
She suddenly smiled “I met him this morning and thought I’d get excited . Only to later realize, that I had already put it down . ”
Jun Buyan was unable to control his shuddering, he suddenly discovered what he had lost .
Bai Weiwei turned to look at him, her expression was very gentle, “When I put it down, I was thinking of you with all my heart . ”
1: 山有木兮木有枝,心悦君兮君不知 Oh dear, translating poetry is ridiculously beyond my skill level . So here it is in its original unmangled glory . Something to note:君不 these characters, third and second from the back are Jun and Bu, awww she wrote a poem with 2/3rds of his alias . ↩
2: 晓看天色暮看云,行也思君,坐也思君。Please no more! I had to sacrifice the meter to save the rhyme on this one, but I think eight, four, four work better than seven, four, four anyhow . Something of note: the last part of the first line is about twilight’s clouds . (cloud=yun rhymes with Jun) So yeah, I just tore that out and replaced it with anything that seemed like it would sort of fit . Did I mention I lack the skill for poems?
(boy am i glad i didn’t have to translate these poems)↩
