Chapter 7: Aunt

In the middle of the night, the little girl wetted the bed, and Fengzhao had to carry her to his side, while he slept on the soft chair in the house for the night.

The next day, when the dawn of the east was just white, Feng Zhao got up, came to the window and looked at the sky, it was early autumn, but the sky in the south did not see the cold, he walked to the bed and looked at the little girl who was still asleep, and gently touched her delicate little face with his hand, smiled slightly and then turned away, went out, Lan Yan Limeng has been waiting at the door for a long time, Lan Yan handed the package to Feng Zhao, Feng Zhao gave Li Meng some things to go with the horse, he was afraid of waking up Yao Ling, so he did not wash. Looking at his distant back, Li Meng said to Lan Yan: "The young master has finally grown up. He let out a long exhale.

When I was about to arrive at Baoxiang Temple, I happened to meet Yueming who had come down the mountain after chopping firewood, so he turned over and dismounted and hung the firewood on Yueming's back and the basket on the horse's back, and the two walked together.

The wind is cold and arrogant, the moon is cold, although the two are cousins, they are not good words, but after these months of living together and studying together, the two are no longer as angry as when they first met, although they still don't recognize each other, but they have already admitted that each other is their own brother.

Yueming looked at the wind as he walked, and the wind looked a little strange, "You see what I do, and there is no flower on my face" He looked at Yueming with some annoyance.

Today's Yueming had a slight smile on his face: "I see that you haven't washed your face, why are you so happy?"

Feng Zhao was speechless for a moment, "This kid is inconspicuous, as if he can see through everything," he thought in his heart, but he pretended to ignore the moon and continued to walk forward.

Yueming didn't mind him like this, and he still walked slowly. The two walked like this for a while, and then heard Yueming say softly: "On the sixth day of the next month, the two queens in the palace will go to Baoxiang Temple to offer incense and pray for safety." ”

The wind shone on his feet, and then continued without any expression. He knew that the palace that Yueming said was the Yanlong King's Mansion, because the Yanlong Kingdom is now a vassal state of the Ji Kingdom, so the monarch of Yanlong Kingdom cannot be called the emperor, but can only be called the king, the royal heir is called the crown prince, and the other sons can only be called princes, and the royal nobles are called county kings.

This Yanlong Kingdom has a history of 100 years since its founding, although the territory is not very large, but the Jiangli and Xiwu in the south are all looking forward to Yanlong Ma, so both in terms of military politics and national conditions can not be underestimated, so both the Great Dragon Dynasty and the Ji Kingdom want to pull it into their sphere of influence. In order to protect itself, Yanlong is attached to other great powers, and through marriage to maintain relations with other countries, and in order to maintain balance, the king of Yanlong will marry two queens, one is the princess of the country to which he is attached, and the other is the princess of the country that is not attached but does not dare to offend. For example, the two queens of the previous king of the Yanlong Kingdom were the ones who left the country and the Ji country.

The two queens lived in the east and west, with the queen who lived in the east as the main and the queen who lived in the west as the supplement, and jointly managed the royal backyard. The current king of Yanlong Kingdom is Fengzhao's maternal uncle named Chang Ruojin, who is the elder brother of Fengzhao's mother, and he also married two queens. The Queen of the East is of course the princess of the Ji Kingdom, and the Queen of the West is the sister of the current emperor of the Great Dragon Dynasty, Emperor Jianyuanning, Princess Fengxi, who is also Fengzhao's aunt, because Fengzhao's father Fengxuan and Emperor Jianyuanning Fengqing are the brothers of the same mother.

Fengzhao's aunt's real name is Feng Fei, and at the age of sixteen, she married Chang Ruojin, who was still the crown prince of King Yanlong at the time. Today, Feng Zhao suddenly heard Yueming say this, and muttered to himself in his heart, he knew in his heart that Yueming was telling him in disguise, and his aunt, Queen Xi, was going to see him.

For this aunt, Feng Zhao often heard his father talk about it when he was young, and his face was full of longing when he talked about it, so he also knew that his father and this aunt had a very good relationship. What impressed him the most about this aunt was that after he arrived in Yanlong Kingdom, Limeng secretly asked to see the monarch of Yanlong Kingdom with the jade phoenix bracelet given by his mother, while he waited for news with other dead soldiers in the inn.

At that time, he couldn't walk anymore, and he was still carrying the Yao Ling he had just picked up, Yao Ling was crying, and it was still drizzling outside, so he sat in front of the window of the inn, looking at the dark sky outside, and his mood was extremely dark.

Two hours after leaving Meng, Fengzhao, who was sitting in front of the window, heard the sound of horses' hooves clattering in the distance on the street, and it was not one or two horses, but a group of horses' hooves. The sound of horses' hooves instantly arrived in front of the inn, and then the sound of kicking and tapping upstairs was heard, and the dead soldiers in the house were all swords, and Fengzhao was also held in Jing You's arms.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped outside the door, only to hear Limeng shouting "Jing You is me", all the people breathed a sigh of relief, Jing You put down the wind and signaled Lian Cang to open the door, as soon as the door opened, a lake-blue figure suddenly rushed in, with a body of water vapor, the wind looked at it and saw that it was a woman of the same age as her mother, wearing a lake blue palace dress, her delicate face was heroic and domineering, and the drizzle wet her hair, but there was no wolf bèi.

As soon as she entered the door, she stared straight at the wind and muttered, "Like, really like." Then burst into tears, Fengzhao was also stunned and at a loss, some of the dead people in the palace had seen Princess Fengxi, so immediately someone knelt down and said: "See Princess Fengxi" The others also knelt down when they saw this.

At this moment, Feng Zhao knew that the woman in front of her was her aunt Feng Fei. It turned out that Limeng took the jade phoenix bracelet given by his mother to see King Yanlong, and Princess Fengxi, who happened to be the queen of the West, was also by King Yanlong's side, she had seen Limeng before she got married, and knew that Limeng was Feng Xuan's dead soldier, and when she heard that Fengzhao was now being chased and killed by Emperor Jianyuanning to Yanjing, she immediately brought a team of guards without even changing their clothes, and went straight to the inn where Fengzhao was hiding.

At that moment, Fengzhao didn't know whether to be happy or sad, he fled for two whole months, he was like a deer who lost his mother and couldn't find his relatives, at that moment when he saw his aunt who had never met, he saw the tears in her eyes, he thought he was lucky. Later, Feng Zhao heard from Limeng and others that after Emperor Jianyuanning learned that Feng Zhao was rescued by Queen Yanlongxi, he shook his head helplessly, and did not send envoys to Yanlong Wangfu to dignitaries. Later, because of his leg disease and psychological grief, Queen Xi discussed with King Yeonlong to give Fengzhao Qilin Mountain, which the royal family used to avoid the war, so that he could alleviate the damage caused by the flight and recuperate.

After his leg was cured, he was supposed to see King Yanlong and his aunt, but he was in a hurry to come to Baoxiang Temple to study with Zen Master Huiying, so he didn't bother to go up to see this aunt, he thought that this aunt was also interesting, he remembered that when he saw her for the first time, he didn't know whether to call him aunt or aunt.

Now that he heard Yueming say this, he knew that his aunt was coming to see him, as a member of the royal family, he knew that Yueming must know about him, otherwise he would not have deliberately told him that the two queens of Yanlong would enter the temple to burn incense. But he didn't know what to say when he saw this queen's aunt, after all, when he saw her, it was when he fled to the end of the world and his personality changed, and he was no longer the wind that he liked to laugh and talk about before he was five years old. He wished he could see this aunt before he was five years old, and he would love her very much. He misses this aunt, but he is afraid to see it.

After a while, Feng Zhao asked Yueming softly: "Your queen mother is also coming?"

Yueming nodded, Yueming's mother is the second princess of the queen of the Yanlong Palace, because this second princess has given birth to two princesses since she married the Yanlong King, and then when she was pregnant with Yueming, she went to Baoxiang Temple to make a wish that if she could give birth to a boy, she would serve the Buddha for ten years, so Yueming was sent to the temple to study Buddhism and serve the Buddha when she was one year old.

Feng Zhao looked at Yueming, Yueming looked at Feng Zhao, and the two suddenly laughed tacitly. This was the first time the two of them laughed happily, and he knew that this kid had the same mind as him.

Entered the temple door, Feng Zhao went to the meditation room to wash up and had breakfast, obviously the temple has received the news, the monks in the temple are not as calm as in the past, come and go began to be busy, now only half a month away from the sixth day of the next month, and Feng Zhao still went to meditate with Yueming, for him, since he can't avoid seeing each other, it is better to go with the flow, he is going to see this aunt after all, for his parents and himself.

Until now, he didn't know what happened to his parents, what happened between them and the crown prince and uncle, so that the prince and uncle who had been kind to him chased and killed him all the way. He had asked Limeng about this, but Limeng couldn't say clearly.

The days passed quietly, the wind and the moon were still studying regularly every day, and in a blink of an eye it was the sixth day of the first month of August, which was not yet dawn, the monks in the temple were already busy, the front door that was never opened in the past was slowly opened, the clean water splashed the ground, and all the temples and temples were cleaned clean and bright, waiting for the arrival of the two queens of Yanlong Kingdom.

On this day, Yueming and Fengzhao were also informed that they did not need to chop wood and meditate, but only waited to receive the two queens. So the two gathered in the moonlit Zen courtyard, looking at each other calmly.

After looking at the wind for a while, he was bored and came to the stone bridge to look at the leisurely fish in the water, and suddenly he asked Yueming: "Did your mother fight with my aunt?"

"Huh?" Yueming looked at Fengzhao with some confusion, and after a moment he reacted, his face gloomy.

Feng Zhao smiled when he saw Yueming's appearance: "If you become the king of Yanlong in the future, will you also marry two queens?"

Yueming's face was even darker, and Fengzhao suddenly burst out laughing, this was the most comfortable laugh he had since he was five years old, and it was also the first time he had laughed like this in front of someone other than Yaoling, he laughed at the clear soup and the expressionless Yueming with a flat face—finally had a dark and gloomy expression. Thinking of that kid becoming the Dragon King of Shangyan in the future and watching his two queens fight, Feng Zhao couldn't breathe with a smile. He didn't know what he looked like, and if Lan Yan and Limeng saw him, he would definitely be shocked to death.

Suddenly, a stone slammed into him, and he quickly flashed his head. At this time, Yueming stood in the bamboo forest with a black face, and he laughed even harder.

Yueming finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly he flew over to Fengzhao's side, and said fiercely with fire in his eyes: "I, only marry one person!" After speaking, his face suddenly calmed down, and he understood that Fengzhao's kid was deliberately trying to provoke him. So he regained his inconspicuous face and asked Fengzhao: "After all, you are a royal prince, how many will you marry?"

Yes, after all, he is a royal family, and he has a bigger goal in his heart, so how many will he marry? I don't know how he thought of the little girl named Yaoling, he wants to wait for her, and marry her when she grows up. He has long regarded her as his own person, and he has only married her in his life, if there was a hazy feeling, then at the moment when Yueming asked him today, he suddenly determined in his heart that he only loved her. Although she is only seven years old, she is still sure that she only loves her in her life.

Looking at Fengzhao, who was stunned and didn't speak, Yueming suddenly laughed teasingly: "Do you have someone you love?"

Feng Zhao also reacted suddenly, and looked at Yue Ming in annoyance and said word by word: "I only marry one person." Then he shook his hand and left. This kid can always him off. Looking at his back as he shook his hand, the expressionless Yueming pondered: "Who is he in love with?"

At noon, a eunuch entered the temple on horseback and informed the abbot that the two queens' phoenixes were coming, so the monks hurriedly lined up and respectfully waited for the arrival of the two queens. In a moment, I saw the gorgeous honor guard of the two queens winding along the mountain road. There are those who carry the palace lamp and those who support the canopy, and the momentum is not very grand but solemn and rigorous. In the guard of honor, there are two sedan chairs one after the other along the mountain road slowly, the previous sedan chair is a red-topped gold sedan chair carved with crested head, phoenix tail, phoenix feather leaves to decorate, surrounded by the pattern of the phoenix to the auspicious clouds and the phoenix. The latter top is a blue-topped red vessel, and the sedan body is also carved with the leaves of the phoenix tail and the phoenix feather to decorate, and the pattern of the phoenix wearing the peony is painted all around. You don't have to think about it to know that the Feng Yuan in front is the queen of the East Palace, and the Feng Yuan in the back is the Queen of the West Palace.

When they arrived at the gate of the temple, the two sedan chairs stopped, and the palace maids lifted the curtains, and the two queens came out of the sedan chairs at the same time. I saw that the queen of the East Palace was wearing a brocade robe with a bright yellow embroidered phoenix, and the queen of the West Palace was wearing a red embroidered phoenix brocade robe, the same gorgeous and dazzling, the same beauty and grace, but the queen of the East Palace was graceful and delicate behind the slightest weakness, and the queen of the West Palace was graceful and domineering behind her grace and beauty.

Seeing the two queens, the abbot of the temple and other senior monks hurriedly saluted and chanted the Buddha's name. And the two queens also nodded to the master.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen of the East Palace looked for her beautiful eyes, and then the moon light flashed out of the many small novices, walked to the queen of the east, and knelt down to give the salute: "The son of the minister to meet the queen mother" A layer of fog appeared in the corner of the queen of the East Palace's soft eyes, and she reached out to help the moon bright, and endured it without letting the tears fall. Yueming walked to the Queen of the West and still knelt down to salute: "Erchen meets the Queen Mother of the West" Princess Fengxi hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Yueming, and said with a slight smile: "The third prince is so tall." Because of Fengzhao's identity, Princess Fengxi didn't want people to know too much, so she passed down the word that he didn't have to go to the front hall to pay respects.

After finishing speaking, a group of people followed into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the two queens bowed to the Buddha to make incense and make wishes, and the whole temple came out with a strong and solemn chanting sound. Feng Zhao stayed in the meditation room and quietly listened to the chanting sound, closed his eyes, and thought about the inner strength of his mind.

After all the ceremonies were completed, it was already time, and the two queens went to the Zen monastery to rest for a while and were about to leave for the palace, when a little eunuch came to say that the queen of the west wanted to summon Fengzhao. So Feng Zhao was dressed and walked away with the little eunuch.

Entering the Zen courtyard where Princess Fengxi was temporarily resting, there was a eunuch who sent a message to go in directly to visit, and when she entered the door, Fengzhao raised her eyes and saw Princess Fengxi sitting on the couch, and she was more solemn and graceful with a red embroidered phoenix palace dress, and she was more solemn and graceful, he was about to step forward to give a salute, but was pulled into her arms by Princess Fengxi, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked him up and down carefully, full of love and distress. Feng Zhao thought of his mother when he looked at the eyes full of love and distress, and couldn't help but get a lot closer to Princess Fengxi.

Princess Fengxi looked at Fengzhao for a long time, and suddenly tears fell, and she said: "You really look like your father", Fengzhao's face turned black, Princess Fengxi knew that she had said that Fengzhao had a sore spot in her heart, and quickly shut up. For a while, the two of them had nothing to say.

After a while, Feng Zhao looked at Princess Fengxi and asked softly, "Auntie, is there any news about my father and princess?"

When Princess Fengxi heard Fengzhao ask like this, her eyes were smeared with an indescribable look, and she sighed for a long time: "Your uncle and I sent people to the Great Dragon Dynasty, but no trace of your parents was found, and I didn't dare to ask the emperor's brother." ”

After a long time, Feng Zhao asked softly: "Does that mean that my father and queen mother are still alive?" Feng Fei looked at Feng Zhao and nodded, she didn't dare to tell Sù Feng Zhao that it was true, he was afraid that the little Feng Zhao would not be able to accept the cruel reality, so she could only sue him like this.

After a while, she said to Fengzhao, I brought you some food and use, the food in the temple is not good, and your leg disease just happens to be better than not to eat. ”

Immediately, four or five palace maids came in one after another outside the door, bringing in a lot of things, there are all kinds of pastries, snacks, all of which are royal tributes, and a lot of brocade clothes, Feng Zhao was a little helpless and looked at these things, suddenly he seemed to think of something, looking at those pastries, Feng Fei looked at him and looked at the pastries, thinking that he wanted to eat, and hurriedly asked the palace maid to bring them over and put them in front of Feng Zhao.

Feng Zhao picked it up and took a bite, it was soft and silky, and it melted in his mouth, he hurriedly said to the palace maid next to him, put this on the bag, and then said to Princess Fengxi: "Auntie, can you send this person back to Qilin Mountain." ”

Princess Fengxi asked, and Feng Zhao said a little embarrassedly: "That gluttonous girl loves to eat." ”

After all, Fengzhao is a seven-year-old child, and in front of his relatives who love him, he naturally took off the heavy shell of defense, Princess Fengxi paused for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "Is it the little girl you picked up, I heard that you have asked your subordinates to call her the little master, right?"

The wind is shining on Qilin Mountain, so naturally nothing can be hidden from the Yanlong Palace. Feng Zhao nodded, Feng Fei looked at Feng Zhao and smiled: "It seems that our Xiaozhao has a favorite woman, when she grows up, I will let him be your concubine." "Feng Zhao's face turned red. Then Feng Fei sent someone to send those pastries back to Qilin Mountain.

Sending away Princess Fengxi, Feng Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, from the escape to the present, he has not dared to think about the future of his parents, he doesn't know if they are still in this world, today he finally knows, no matter what, as long as they live, he will definitely save them, he believes that one day he will see a father who is as gentle as the rising sun and a mother who is as bright as the moon.
