Chapter 3 Dignity
At this moment, the creatures of the entire Lingyue Realm were agitated, and the major sects invited their predecessors and masters to go to the place where Emperor Wei came to investigate, and sent the disciples of the sect to walk the world to seek supreme opportunities.
The Qinghe Kingdom, which was closest to Wang Qingshan, was also boiling after the suppression of the emperor's might.
Regarding what Emperor Wang Qingshan said just now, some people are eager to try it and want to go to Wang Qingshan to hunt for treasure and seek opportunities. Some people feel that this is a bad omen, and they fall into extreme anxiety and panic, and there is a sense of oppression that the mountain rain is about to come.
But these have nothing to do with Jiang Ruoyan, let them go.
Now, he just wants to go back to the palace.
Today is his sixteenth birthday, and others may not remember it, but his mother will definitely remember it.
In the Lingyue realm, it is still early to practice, and the age of sixteen is an important sign for a man, and in the emperor's house, the age of sixteen is an adult.
On the day of his birth, at the time of the crown ceremony, he should be by the side of his lord as a son of man.
Jiang Ruoyan returned to the palace with bruises all over her body, but simply bandaged the wounds and rushed to the queen's bedroom, Changchun Palace.
Some palace maids and guards were whispering, some were talking about Wang Qingshan's authority, and some were speculating about Jiang Ruoyan's whole body was the cause of his injuries, and the same thing was that they didn't have any respect for Jiang Ruoyan, the seventh prince.
I have to say that Jiang Ruoyan is really sad, in the past three years, he has changed from a genius that everyone is optimistic about to a mediocre talent that everyone despises.
A talented unicorn is so downcast.
Back in Changchun Palace, Jiang Ruoyan looked at the bright and beautiful woman lying quietly on the bed with complicated eyes.
Even if it is covered with a silk quilt, you can still see the tall and beautiful figure of the beautiful woman. Her facial features are simply impeccable, with a small nose, crystal jade lips, every eyelash on her lightly closed phoenix eyes is so curved, and her long sky-blue hair is scattered on the bed, like a snow elf who has come to the mortal world from the snow country.
It's just that her complexion is not very good now, and there is no blood on her beautiful face.
She is Jiang Ruoyan's biological mother, the queen of Qinghe Kingdom, Xue Yuxi.
When the maid saw Jiang Ruoyan coming, she retreated knowingly.
Jiang Ruoyan knelt in front of the bed, a sense of guilt welled up in her heart, her eyes were moist, and she said, "Queen Mother, the child is not filial......"
It seems that even the feelings for my mother in my previous life have emerged.
Mother is one of the most important relatives in this life. In his previous life, he could be said to have failed to fulfill half of his filial piety to his mother, but in this life, because of his incompetence, he made his mother suffer so much.
Xue Yuxi woke up, slowly opened her eyes, leaned on the head of the bed, and stretched out her slender jade hand from the futon to caress Jiang Ruoyan's hair.
"I'm sorry for the trouble. Jiang Ruoyan wiped away her tears, her voice choked.
Xue Yuxi shook her head, looking at the scars on Jiang Ruoyan's face, her heart was extremely sour, and her blue pupils were covered with a layer of mist. still gently stroked Jiang Ruoyan's face, and said, "Yan'er, you have suffered all these years......
"It's not bitter! You see that the child's teeth are very good, and the food is fragrant, and it looks good. ”
Turning on the teasing mode, Jiang Ruoyan suddenly jumped up energetically and smiled, and clenched his fists to show his muscles. Unexpectedly, he gasped in pain when he touched the wound, and laughed "hee-hee" in order to hide his embarrassment.
Xue Yuxi also knew that Jiang Ruoyan was pleasing her, showed an elegant smile, her complexion looked much better, she shook her head lightly and said, "You should be more mature and stable in the future, you know?"
Jiang Ruoyan thinks that he has been much more mature than his peers since he was a child, and he can think of and do things that many of his peers can't do, but in front of Xue Yuxi, he always likes to be a child who will never grow up.
"Present, come, give it to you"
Xue Yuxi took out a beautiful jade box from under the futon.
"Happy birthday, sixteen years, my Yan'er is a year older!" Xue Yuxi smiled, tears of relief flowing from her eyes.
"Thank you. ”
Jiang Ruoyan was holding the jade box in both hands, and originally wanted to play haha, but his eyes were wet and red, he grabbed his cuffs and wiped them, and reached out to wipe Xue Yuxi's tears.
"Come, my mother will come and give you a crown. ”
The ceremony of binding the crown was supposed to be presided over by his father, but the king of Qinghe has not been able to retreat until now.
Jiang Ruoyan knelt on the edge of the bed so that Xue Yuxi could help him tie his hair.
Jiang Ruoyan turned her back to Xue Yuxi and said with some hesitation: "Queen Mother...... I have something to ask. ”
Xue Yuxi smiled slightly, "What do you want to ask?"
"My name...... Who took it?" Jiang Ruoyan asked.
Xue Yuxi was a little surprised, obviously she didn't expect her son to ask such a question, but she still replied, "Of course, my mother took it for you." ”
Is it a coincidence?
Or does the mother know something?
Jiang Ruoyan's eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Yuxi, and said, "Then why did the queen mother give me a name?"
Xue Yuxi's hand trembled slightly, I don't know if Jiang Ruoyan was too excited and scared by a little loud volume, or because of other reasons. Immediately, she seemed to fall into a good memory, the jade fingers pinched her chin lightly, smiled a little dumbfounded, and her cheeks were a little red: "Silly child, how can you ask this kind of question? ”
"Oh, I see. ”
It seems that it is really just a coincidence, Jiang Ruoyan was a little disappointed that he couldn't get an answer, but at the same time, his heart was more moved.
The name "Ruoyan" was given by her mother, and it contains her mother's love for herself, which will be the treasure of her life.
"It's better not to tell my mother about awakening the memories of my past life for the time being. Jiang Ruoyan thought to herself.
Let's not talk about whether his mother believes it or not, and he has to think about the problems he will face next. Awakening the memories of his previous life, the insight of being an Emperor of the Underworld in his previous life can certainly bring him many benefits. But there are always two sides to something, and with great power comes great responsibility. The grievances and grievances in the previous life, as well as the old ministers and remnants of the Dark Moon who may still be living in dire straits due to the collapse of the Styx Moon Dynasty, Jiang Ruoyan will have to give an explanation no matter what.
If you remember it, you can't think that everything didn't happen, and some things won't change because of reincarnation.
"However, what hasn't changed is that I'm still Jiang Ruoyan. Jiang Ruoyan looked at her mother with a firm look in her eyes.
In this life, we must live up to the previous life, but we must live for the present life.
"Mother can also tell you one thing, my Yan'er, she was born with the auspiciousness of heaven and earth. Xue Yuxi said proudly.
Jiang Ruoyan's birthplace is not in the palace, but in a small village at the foot of Wang Qingshan, which is close to the royal city. There, there was no queen of the Qinghe king, and there was no king of the Qinghe, only a simple peasant couple.
Recalling the day Jiang Ruoyan was born, the clouds rose within a radius of ten miles from the royal city, like a jade, and in the shape of a dragon and tiger, which was the aura of the emperor's birth.
Thinking back to that time, Xue Yuxi fell into a giggle and a giggle.
A short time later, the sound of a fight was heard outside, shattering her memory.
Lian'er, the palace maid who was guarding outside, opened her hands to stop the comer, and said, "Gonggong Li, this is Changchun Palace, you are not allowed to trespass!"
But the visitor didn't pay attention to Lian'er's warning at all, and with a flick of his wide sleeves, the strong aura shook Lian'er out and fainted to the ground. Fortunately, Lian'er has some cultivation in her body, otherwise it would not be as simple as fainting.
"Yan'er, help your mother up. ”
Xue Yuxi lifted the quilt and wanted to get up.
"No, the queen mother, you can just lie down, and leave this kind of thing to the child. Jiang Ruoyan pressed Xue Yuxi's shoulder with her hand, asked her to lie back, covered her with a quilt, and then went outside.
"Li Huairen, you dog slave dare to trespass on Changchun Palace, is this a rebellion?" Jiang Ruoyan stared at the pale man in front of him with vicious eyes, dressed in the palace uniform, and shouted loudly, even having the heart to eat people.
"Dog minion?"
For Li Huairen, the word "dog minion" came out of Jiang Ruoyan's waste mouth, which was harsher than anyone else's!
A murderous intent flashed in Li Huairen's eyes, and he said: "The king wants to retreat and practice for three months, and the queen is in poor health and is unable to manage the affairs of the harem. Therefore, the affairs of the harem will be temporarily managed by Concubine Xiao for three months. The slaves were ordered to come and get the 'back seal'. ”
"On whose orders? Is this what the King of Qinghe meant?"
"It's really good, is this the sixteenth birthday gift he gave him?" Jiang Ruoyan was even more angry, and he didn't have a good impression of the so-called father.
Li Huairen did not answer Jiang Ruoyan's question directly, but said in a thin voice: "The slave is only here to take the back seal, and please don't stop His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, otherwise the slave will be rough." ”
"You dare!"
The anger was on the verge of exploding, Jiang Ruoyan jumped up, the aura in his body boiled, and he let out a low dragon roar, exuding a powerful might: "Taiwu Dragon Sparrow Palm, Demon Dragon Out of the Abyss." ”
"I can't help myself!"
Li Huairen sneered contemptuously, raised his hand, stretched out an index finger, and pointed out, "Xuanming Finger Strength!"
The aura converged into a stream of cold and icy air, constantly surging towards Li Huairen's fingers, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and the water vapor condensed into crystal ice crystals.
Li Huairen's cultivation was in the late stage of the Martial Spirit Realm, but he had precipitated for many years, and the aura in his body was more than three times thicker than the black-clothed man who assassinated Jiang Ruoyan before.
A pillar-thick cold ice qi slammed into Jiang Ruoyan's chest, and then turned into a violent wave of qi that beat Jiang Ruoyan to vomit blood, and flew upside down on the steps.
Li Huairen didn't intend to let Jiang Ruoyan go like this, and quickly stepped forward, ready to give Jiang Ruoyan a heavier blow. If you can accidentally kill Jiang Ruoyan by mistake, it would be great.
The surrounding ice crystals were controlled by Li Huairen and condensed into a sharp three-pronged spear. As long as he moved his fingers slightly, the three-pronged spear would fly out, ending Jiang Ruoyan's life at any time.
"Stop. ”
Xue Yuxi appeared at the door wearing only a white single coat, and her delicate body seemed to be blown down by a breeze.
"The back seal is here, there is Lao Li Nei Shi on behalf of the book and then transferred to Concubine Xiao, and the affairs of the harem will be more troublesome to Concubine Xiao's Niangniang in the future. ”
As he spoke, Xue Yuxi took out a fist-sized gold cast bird seal and handed it to Li Huairen.
Li Huairen's eyes were cold, since the queen came out, she naturally couldn't ignore the queen, although she had lost power on the surface. So, Li Huairen put down his raised hand, and the ice three-pronged spear slowly collapsed. Slowly walked over and took the back seal from Xue Yuxi's hand. I didn't expect it to be so easy to get it, so I smiled coldly: "Tsk, it's still the queen's mother who understands righteousness!"
The irony is very obvious!
"Li Huairen, I'll kill you...... Poof......"
Jiang Ruoyan's eyes were red, his eyes were bloodshot, he was angry, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He hated, hated why he was so weak!
In his previous life, when his mother died to relieve the soldiers of the Stygian Dynasty, he was hostage in another country, and he didn't even see his mother's last face before she died.
In this life, my mother was taken away in front of her, trampled on her dignity, and she was so humiliated, but she could only watch it.
I want strength, great power!
Jiang Ruoyan once again deeply realized that whether it was in the past life or in this life, if you don't have enough strength, you can't do anything, you can't protect your relatives, and even a little bit of your dignity as a human being will be stripped of and trampled on like an ant!
Li Huairen was proud, glanced at Jiang Ruoyan on the ground contemptuously, pinched his fingers and put them to his mouth, smiled half-hidden, and walked away.
Xue Yuxi wanted to come over and help Jiang Ruoyan up, but she was weak, and her weak body almost fell to the ground. Jiang Ruoyan endured the severe pain on her body and desperately stood up to support her.
The palace maid Lian'er woke up slowly, and after she sobered up, she hurried over to help the queen.
"Sister Lian'er, go back to rest after helping my mother. ”
After speaking, Jiang Ruoyan took the last healing pill on his body, leaned on a pillar, and supported his body from falling.
"Yan'er, do you know that you are staying in Qingshan?"
Xue Yuxi looked at Jiang Ruoyan, who was covered in blood, tears fell down, and her heart hurt terribly. It's as if those wounds were on you. She was really afraid that Jiang Ruoyan would be too aggressive, so she ran over again, and was beaten up again in the end.
If she could use force, how could her Yan'er suffer such a sin?
Yan'er, I'm sorry......
"The child knows. ”
Jiang Ruoyan didn't look back, clutched his chest, and slowly left with his heavy body.
"Mother, I will definitely help you get back the dignity you have lost today! In the future, whoever dares to deceive you again, I will make life worse than death!"
Now, he has awakened the memories of his previous life, and from the memories of his previous life, he does not believe that he cannot find a cure for his old diseases!
