"Yilan, can you please take a pen and paper, I will make a lunar calendar for you, and you can adjust your diet according to it."
It is common to seek for beauties in the imperial court, and all of them are elegant things. Only such noble ladies have the leisure to serve flowers, collect dew, pick leaves and warm wine.
As she was tending to the flowers, there was a light knock on the wooden door. The maid opened the door and saw the weathered Lu Erlang Lu Xian. Lu Erlang was wearing a flowing robe with wide sleeves and holding a box in his hands. The man standing outside the door under the lantern was gentle and clear, with a dull expression on his face, as if he was a little absent-minded.
Yesterday at Kaishan Temple, Luo Lingyu ran into Lu Erlang muttering something. At that time, Lu Xian was persuaded by Luo Lingyu and wanted to tell him about his dream. Unexpectedly, Princess Liu Tang brought Luo Lingyu's sister to find him. Liu Tang talked to Lu Erlang nervously, and Luo Lingyu left with her sister tactfully. The matter was left unresolved. But Lu Xian was concerned about it. After thinking about it for a day, he decided to meet Luo Lingyu.
The flower girl raised her bright eyes, which were clear as water, and watched Lu Xian hand the box in his hand to the maid. Lu Xian said indifferently: "My cousin just recovered from her illness and has lost a lot of weight. I brought some Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, and my cousin ate them. After eating, you don't need to ask the steward, just ask me directly."
Luo Lingyu put down the scissors in her hand that were stained with water droplets, leaned forward, and said in a brisk and hurried tone: "Thank you very much, second cousin."
When she looked up, her eyes flickered slightly, and she had guessed what Lu Erlang wanted to talk to her about. He was very concerned about Lu Erlang's dreams; he also made Luo Lingyu concerned about Lu Yun's life and death.
…
After the maid left, Lu Erlang thought about how to describe his dream. In his opinion, his dreams were always related to Lu Yun and his cousin Luo, and he was always witnessing the tragedy of their love. But the timeline of his dreams was chaotic - when small things could not affect the big events, nothing would change in his dreams; and once they did, the big events were over, the hidden dangers of the dream disappeared, and he would no longer continue to have this dream.
However, Lu Xian himself did not know what kind of things could affect the big events. When he first changed the ending of Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu, he was in a daze. However, there were clear instructions at that time. He could see at a glance that as long as Luo Lingyu did not marry the Prince of Hengyang, the tragedy could be saved. He worked towards that goal in a confused way, and he did it.
But in this dream, Lu Xian did not see any opportunity to change his dream. He only knew that the war was lost and Lu Yun was dead. He could not avoid the war, and he did not have the power to influence the war between the two countries. He had thought that Lu Yun would not go to the border, but the dream told him that it was useless. Now, Lu Erlang does not know what to do. He was caught by Luo Lingyu when he was talking about it...
Lu Erlang hesitated: "Cousin, do you really want to know what I dream about? Even though as you said, there is no past life, I can only predict the future. However, such ability is easy to be envied by God. What if I tell you and it leads to worse consequences?"
Luo Lingyu groaned: "It depends on what the worse outcome will be."
Lu Xian thought of his third brother's death and felt a slight heart attack: "...It doesn't seem like it can get any worse."
Luo Lingyu smiled and said, "If my second cousin can really dream about the future, then if the future is not good, he will definitely find a way to change it after he wakes up, right? I think that no matter what kind of prediction God gives my second cousin, there is a logic in the development of everything. It is impossible that the logic disappears just because my second cousin told me about his dream. If nothing has changed, the events are reasonable according to their own course. If the logic has changed, there must be other inducements... and the other inducements may be the things that my second cousin has changed, or it may be the stubborn will left by fate."
"So, what difference would adding me make?"
Lu Xian said anxiously, "There is a difference. For example, you are this year's Flower Goddess, but in my dream, you were not chosen by the Flower Goddess this year, so you will be the Flower Goddess next year. Also, do you remember the day when you opened the cosmetics shop? In my dream, it was the Prince of Hengyang who saved you, but you didn't know that my third brother's arm was injured; in reality, it was my third brother who had his eyes burned. The same bad thing happened, I avoided one, and there is another..."
Luo Lingyu stared at Lu Xian in a daze for a moment, then shook her head: "This difference doesn't seem to be that big. Besides, second cousin, you didn't change anything after that incident at the powder shop."
Lu Xian: “……?”
Luo Lingyu said softly: "Third cousin's arm is still injured."
Lu Xian: "...What?! How come I don't know?"
Luo Lingyu told him that Lu Yun's arm was still injured, but it was not the day in the powder shop. Instead, one day later, Luo Lingyu and Lu Yun were enjoying the cool under the grape trellis, and the trellis collapsed. Lu Yun used his hand to block it, and his arm was injured at that time.
Speaking of this, Luo Lingyu's cheeks flushed and her heart beat fast. She remembered the day when the grape trellis collapsed, which was due to her and Lu Sanlang's excessive recklessness.
Luo Lingyu smiled and said, "So my second cousin hasn't changed a thing since that day."
Lu Xian was stunned at first, and then frustrated. He naturally thought that he had changed a lot that day, and prevented Luo Lingyu from getting along with the King of Hengyang. But when Luo Lingyu said that, he also remembered that in the dream, Luo Lingyu went to visit the King of Hengyang because he was injured, and in reality, Luo Lingyu also wanted to visit, but he stopped her... What he changed was whether he stopped Luo Lingyu, but he was either shocked or splashed water, he didn't change at all.
Luo Lingyu thought for a moment, "So, that means that although small events can affect big events, changes that are too small are meaningless. Things will not change, the logic will continue to move forward. That is to say, my second cousin can only change some minor details, but he cannot stop the logic of events that exist between heaven and earth."
Lu Xian was already confused and only understood half of what was said. But the part he did understand made him exclaim "Ah", as if he suddenly understood.
Isn't Luo Lingyu's meaning exactly the same as his dream?
He could not force the coming-of-age day of June 19 to not exist;
He also couldn't prevent Lu Yun's death from happening in advance.
He could only think of ways to direct things in other directions when things happened. However, it was easier to influence what happened on the day of Luo's cousin's coming-of-age ceremony, but it was not easy for him to influence Lu Yun's death at the border.
