Chapter 898: Snow's Reminiscences
Speaking of these two men, Mu Xueqing's perception now is completely different from the beginning.
Compared with Yuwen Tailuo, who is polite and elegant in brocade clothes, Ye Zhichen, who is coarse and simple, has a gray face, and does not even have a blade in his hand, is as inconspicuous as a chicken and a dog.
From the first time they met, Mu Xueqing felt that her sister was crazy.
Was she too gentle? How could she think that she would fall in love with such a poor boy?
The choice of the prince and the beggar, do you still need to think about this kind of question?
The former, of course!
Especially at the beginning, the ancestors of the Mu family were relieved and prepared to break the tradition and allow the Mu family and the Yuwen clan to intermarry. If Mu Xueling can marry Yuwen Tailuo, even if Yuwen Tailuo can't be the emperor in the future, then at least he will be a prince, and Mu Xueling will be transformed, and the two noble identities of the Holy Queen and Concubine will be added at the same time, who can match after seeing Dayan?
A fool can understand the truth, but the smart Mu Xueling doesn't understand it, and she has been entangled between the two men and has been unable to make a decision, which makes Mu Xueqing stunned.
What made her even more stunned was that Mu Xueling finally chose Ye Zhichen.
After learning about this, Mu Xueqing was dumbfounded on the spot, even though she hated Mu Xueling, she was always her own sister, and Mu Xueqing couldn't ignore it.
For this reason, she secretly came to the door to question Mu Xueling without telling her family, and scolded her sister together with Ye Zhichen who was present, scolded her sister for being a lard and a toad for wanting to eat swan meat, and there were many, many ugly words, and she shouted them all like venting.
At that time, Ye Zhichen didn't say a word, just sat quietly and looked at her quietly. There was no anger and no courtesy, but there was a very strange emotion, which Mu Xueqing didn't know at the time, and she didn't understand it until a long, long time later, and she was relieved at that time.
I am glad that Mu Xueling has such a good sister who cares about herself.
It's a pity that Mu Xueqing didn't understand at that time, she thought Ye Zhichen was mocking her. But Mu Xueling understood, because she herself was also very happy, and she was very happy that her sister, who always treats her with a cold face on weekdays, finally broke the barrier and showed her concern for herself.
Even if all the expressions of this concern are bad words that are hard to hear.
Mu Xueqing still clearly remembers what her sister said when she finished yelling, and she remembers the scene and even the house furnishings very clearly.
Regardless of her sister's resistance, Mu Xueling gently stroked her long hair, looked at her with gentle eyes, and a warm smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Xueqing, although you were born with my compatriots, you are indeed still a child, and there are some things you don't understand. Love is high and low, but this difference is not determined by external objects, but it really determines its other roots. β
"Cut, it's the same as the truth, I don't understand anything, you come and listen!" Mu Xueqing was unconvinced.
Mu Xueling didn't answer her, but smiled slightly and gently pressed her hand to her heart, and said softly: "You won't understand what you say, but in the future, when you meet someone you like, you will understand." β
This is the last serious conversation between the two sisters.
After the Mu family forced Mu Xueling to go home with the future of the family, and then Mu Xueling married Yuwen Tailuo, who had become the crown prince, and then Yuwen Tailuo ascended the throne After Mu Xueling entered the palace, the sisters never communicated again.
But Mu Xueqing is so happy, without Mu Xueling's Mu family, she is the most shining star, and she is the existence of the stars holding the moon. What makes her happiest is Mu Xueling's choice, although she doesn't want to admit it, but her sister can have a good home, and her sister is really happy.
It wasn't until a snowy night long later that Mu Xueling, who had a big belly, suddenly appeared in Mu Xueqing's boudoir, and held down the startled Mu Xueqing and said, "If something happens to me, you must remember to protect your own safety." If you can, it's best to leave here in the future, and if you don't want to leave, you must keep in mind what I saidβdon't listen to any rumors, don't listen to any family arrangements, especially the marriage in the palace, and never follow it!"
"You...?"
Mu Xueqing wanted to speak, but Mu Xueling rarely showed a hint of sternness, and asked sharply, "Remember?!"
My sister has always been smiling, driving away the darkness in everyone's hearts with a gentle smile, and in my impression, Mu Xueqing never remembered that her sister had such a look, so she was frightened on the spot, and nodded subconsciously.
Breathing a sigh of relief, gently touching her sister's long hair, Mu Xueling took a deep look at her, and turned around to leave.
Mu Xueling grabbed her: "Why? What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you so horrible?"
"Hehe, don't worry, it's just that there are some bad premonitions, which may not happen. β
Gently breaking away Mu Xueqing's hand, Mu Xueling looked at her gently, her eyes were full of worry: "It's just that if I am unfortunate enough to become a prophecy, you must remember my words." I only have a sister like you, I've been wrong once, and I don't want you to follow my old path. β
"Sister, it's... Is it because of the child?"
Looking at Mu Xueling's slightly withered face, and immediately looked down at her towering belly, Mu Xueqing was very worried.
Mu Xueling was pregnant for several years without giving birth, and it had already been rumored as a strange talk in the upper circles of the imperial capital. Some people say that this son will be talented in the future and a peerless genius, and some people say that this son is a freak who is unreasonable to be promising. There are even more vicious people who say in private, saying that Mu Xueling is actually pregnant with a stillborn baby, but she doesn't want to admit it, so she has dragged it to the present with her mana, how can someone who is not pregnant be as thin as her.
All this, but Mu Xueling's pregnancy is indeed an unheard of strange appearance. Even though monks are different from ordinary people, and the pregnancy time is much longer than that of mortals, Mu Xueling has never heard of it for so long, and I am afraid that even an immortal should have been born a long time ago.
"No, not because of him. β
Shaking her head firmly, Mu Xueling looked at her lower abdomen gently and infinitely, her hands gently stroked, and her slightly withered face exuded a moving brilliance that made Mu Xueqing's heart tremble.
"He's a good boy, and I'm blessed to be able to conceive him, but I'll be able to see him grow up with my own eyes in the future...... Alas......"
With a long sigh, Mu Xueling disappeared into the room. Mu Xueqing wanted to stop her, but she didn't even see how she went, so she could only sit on the edge of the bed stupidly, staring blankly at the window lattice dyed with faint moonlight.
A bad feeling gradually flooded my heart.
A few months later, bad news suddenly spread in the palace, and the queen of Dayan, Mu Xueling, died due to dystocia, and the whole country was mourned.
Although it is unbelievable, the Mu family can only accept this reality. There are only two people who refuse to believe it, one is their father and Mu Fangli, the then head of the Mu family, and the other is Mu Xueqing, who she talked to Mu Xueling at night.
An arrogant woman who had achieved great success and died because of dystocia, Mu Fangli refused to believe it, and insisted on investigating the matter thoroughly, but was suppressed by the ancestor of the Mu family.
For this reason, Mu Fangli angrily abandoned the position of the head of the family, and retreated and cultivated, and no one was seen. And it wasn't until Mu Xueqing overheard someone else's conversation once that her father's abdication was not completely voluntary, and there were shadows of several ancestors of the Mu family interfering.
The originally warm and harmonious home fell apart in an instant, making her extremely strange. What made her even more chilling was that Mu Xueling's words came true one by one, and within two years, the palace really passed the emperor's decree again, saying that Yuwen Tailuo wanted to accept her as a concubine.
The reason is very ridiculous, it is said that Yuwen Tailuo, who lost his beloved wife, is heartbroken, and every time he thinks of his deceased wife's voice and smile, he feels deeply ashamed. Therefore, he remembered his beloved wife's sister Mu Xueqing, so he wanted to take her to his side in the way of a concubine, first, to see people and talk about his sorrows, and secondly, to make up for his regrets for his deceased wife by taking care of Mu Xueqing.
What a ridiculous reason, what a loss of Yu Ventaro can say.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Mu family still believed it, and the ancestor personally sent a message to her to prepare, and the two families would choose an auspicious day to get married.
At this point, Mu Xueqing was completely chilled by the Mu family.
She remembered the indifferent eyes in the laughter of everyone when her sister got married, and there was no trace of emotion in them, all indifferent.
She even remembered the words that Tianyi Zun threw down before leaving, which was listed as taboo by the ancestors of the Mu family: "You old things are a bunch of fools, your heart is higher than the sky, and your life is thinner than paper! Sitting in the well and watching the sky dare to speak out, and the rotten algae and mud are full of artemisia! You also talk and laugh and pretend to be noble, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are as cheap as grass!
I was angry when I first heard it, and I was relieved after I understood it, and now I think about it very appropriately, those ancestors who bear the name of the sages, except for cultivating to live longer than her, are useless, and their brains are simply mush!
Especially when she remembered an ancestral motto of the Mu family, the Mu family and the Yuwen family can be connected together, but the two lines are always infinitely close and parallel, and they must not be entangled.
The cause of my sister's death is unknown, but I think it is definitely related to this ancestral teaching. Mu Xueqing was convinced that Mu Xueling's death must be related to the ancestors' violation of the ancestral teachings, otherwise, how could a good living person die like this!
After hurting my sister, I want to hurt her again, how is it possible?
So Mu Xueqing fled from the family without hesitation, not only because of the marriage, but also because of her sister's dying entrustment.
After chasing all the way, she almost died several times, and just when Mu Xueqing was almost desperate, she happened to meet her by a passing Hundred Tribulation Daoist.
When I came to Taixu Palace, I unexpectedly found that Ye Zhichen was also here. The poor boy was still dressed so shabby, but his identity has changed dramatically. At that time, the peak master of the Divine Sword Peak had already admitted that the next peak master after he was immortal would be Ye Zhichen, and he didn't think about it.
But so what?
Mu Xueqing still hates him, because his sister's death also has his share.
But after continuous contact, she changed from deliberately looking for trouble when she had nothing to do, to a silent common reminiscence, and even the final love connection, a heart unconsciously filled with his shadow.
At this point, she finally understood what her sister said back then-love, there are high and low, but the difference is not foreign objects, but other things.
That is the heart.
And when Ye Zhichen looked at her back then, she finally understood.
That's a relief.
It's a pity that this kind of look will never appear again.
The energetic young swordsman of the year was gone, replaced by the ruthless and taciturn Sword Master. His coldness refuses all contact from outsiders, many people worship him but no one wants to approach him, except for Mu Xueqing.
This is true even if the love thread is secretly involved.
I'm afraid, this is also a sight to think about.
If the two hadn't been separated back then, if his sister had married him, if he hadn't spoken ill of each other and played a more or less bad role in it, if it was......
Then everything should be different now.
I don't know when, the proud ponytail was put down, and the long black hair was gently sprinkled on the shoulders, just like a gentle sister. The delicate second miss of the Mu family is gone, replaced by a gentle woman, treating people kindly from the initial discomfort gradually became instinct, Mu Xueqing suddenly realized that this is what she should become.
No wonder my sister always said that she was so bad, but now that I think about it, my sister can see it clearly, she was just a rebellious and arrogant person born of jealousy.
It's a pity that Ye Zhichen is still like that. Even if he occasionally had gentle eyes, Mu Xueqing could see that he was not looking at himself, but Mu Xueling, who was very similar to himself but a little more beautiful than himself.
That's enough, though.
Whether it is atonement or affection, she is very satisfied with her current state, even if she still has a little hope in her heart, hoping that one day Ye Zhichen will see her in his eyes.
Although this thought made her feel guilty and felt sorry for her sister, she still secretly hoped that she would carefully guard this beautiful rainbow.
The crack in the space suddenly appeared, Yun Jiao'er rushed out in a hurry, and when she saw her sitting on the ground, she fell down, and sat beside her without any shelf, with a faint frustration on her little face.
"What's wrong?" Mu Xueqing asked.
"People have run away!" Yun Jiao'er was a little angry.
Crying and laughing, Mu Xueqing, who was relieved, gently hugged her and comforted: "Run, run, you're fine." β
Looking at Mu Xueqing in wonder, Yun Jiao'er said strangely: "Hey, Xiao Qingqing, I'm here to save you, do you think I can't beat him with my strength? I can't beat him, and I dare to save you?" Are you doubting me?"
As she spoke, Yun Jiao'er waved her fist angrily to show her anger, but the sharp-eyed Mu Xueqing found something strange on her slender lotus arm.
"You're hurt?!"
Grabbing her hand, Mu Xueqing took a closer look at it, and her brows furrowed deeply.
There was an extra discordant wrinkle on the white and tender arm, as if the skin had suddenly stolen away for many years and was getting old first, Mu Xueqing knew what it was, it was one of the injuries caused by "A Thousand Opportunities".
The longevity of that piece of skin has been taken away.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll go back and recuperate, look at you like that, I'm not dead! Come on, come on, give this girl a smile, laughing dessert, or I won't like you anymore!"
Yun Jiao'er pulled the corners of Mu Xueqing's mouth as if she was coquettish, looking indifferent to the injury.
Mu Xueqing, who was helpless, could only smile according to her words, looking at Yun Jiao'er, who was dissatisfied with making her laugh again, and was secretly worried in her heart.
That injury is not something that can be healed by ordinary recuperation. The fate of that skin has been affected by Mu Tiancong, and Yun Jiao'er is afraid that it will take a lot of effort to raise it, and whether it can be restored to its original state is still two words.
Although the impact is not great, she is also a woman, and she knows that it is unbearable for Yun Jiaoer, who loves beauty.
Thinking of the injury she suffered to save herself, Mu Xueqing, who was laughing against Yun Jiao'er, was secretly moved.
Do you want to loosen a little bit of the ban and help her?
If you only let go of the slightest hint, you should have no problem with the backlash of the oath, right?
