One is the fairy flower of Langyuan, the other is the flawless jade. If there is no romance, I will meet him again in this life. If there is a romance, how can my heart be empty? One is complaining in vain, one is worrying in vain, one is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower in the mirror. I wonder how many teardrops can be in the eyes. How can autumn flow to winter and spring flow to summer?
What a great book! Didn't meet earlier!
What a great book! It would be nice if I could meet him sooner.
Three words and two beats is a classic
It's very interesting. I read the whole book several times.
I really like it. I wish I had seen it earlier. Being ordinary is a blessing.
Great! ............
By the way, what kind of book is this?
A great book left by the ancients!
More than 5,000 years of cultural accumulation. This book is rich in content and covers a wide range of stories, from the nobles to the poor and common people. The stories can give a glimpse of the ancient style. It has been repeated throughout the ages, and the stories are the same. Regardless of whether there are consequences or not, you must be kind when you are born!
There seems to be another saying about the princess of the Song Dynasty
It was said that the Queen Mother was afraid that she would leak what happened in Dajin, and that seeing her would remind her of the past of being bullied, so she deliberately said that the princess was fake.
