Chapter 55: Knowing the Truth
Because the wind went to the valley, Yaoling pulled Yueqing out of the school and accompanied her to fish in the beauty lake in the palace, this summer she didn't know how to get hooked on fishing, threw the fishing rod into the lake, waited quietly and silently, every time she caught a fish, she shouted happily, and Yueqing next to her shook her head helplessly. As soon as she shouted, he couldn't catch a single fish. Today is even worse, from early morning to now, two hours now, two people have not caught a single fish.
Looking at the blue water of the lake, Yao Ling thought about it, and suddenly remembered that there was a good lake in Yanjing. Yueqing, who immediately pulled the side, "I'll take you to a good place to fish" After speaking, he blinked his eyes and looked mysterious.
Yueqing was speechless, this summer, he was tossed by her enough, he didn't read a book, and he didn't write a word. Occasionally, I will think in my heart that fortunately, Brother Ning is not the crown prince, if he marries Yaoling as the queen, I am afraid that the entire royal family will not be at peace.
The carriage shook all the way and stopped for a long time, but Yueqing, who got off the car, found that the carriage was actually stopped at the gate of the prince's mansion, his mind turned, and suddenly remembered the lotus pond in the backyard of the prince's mansion, and his face couldn't help but change, the prince's brother has always loved to be quiet, and he doesn't like to be disturbed, looking at the fishing rod in Yaoling's hand, he frowned slightly, and said in his mouth: "You want to go to the prince's mansion to fish?"
Looking at Yueqing's puzzled face, Yaoling nodded: "Yes, he has a big lotus pond at home, there must be big fish in it, maybe he can catch crabs?" After speaking, he pulled Yueqing and entered the mansion with his legs.
The housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion saw Yueqing and Yaoling enter the mansion gate, and hurriedly saluted: "The villain greets His Royal Highness Princess Rongyu of the Seventh Prince." ”
Yao Ling asked as she walked, "Where is your prince?" The chief steward hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the prince has not returned to the palace yet. ”
Yaoling smiled secretly, she knew that this time was the time when Chang Yueming entered the palace.
"Well," she suddenly stopped walking and smiled sweetly at the steward, "Lord steward, I'll catch two fish in your lotus pond." ”
The shrewd and capable head of the Prince's Mansion in his early forties was stunned for a moment, and when he was thinking about how to answer, Yao Ling had already pulled Yueqing and disappeared. Flicking his sleeves, the manager reluctantly followed and ran into the backyard.
At noon, Yueming returned to the prince's mansion, and as soon as she entered the mansion, she saw the chief steward rushing over. The pace of walking slowly did not stop.
"Your Highness, you are back, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and Princess Rongyu are here. ”
The footsteps paused for a moment, "What's the matter?" asked indifferently.
"They're fishing in the lotus pond," said the manager cautiously.
"Fishing" was a little surprised, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Fishing has caught me." ”
Continuing to walk forward, a soft word floated by: "Let the kitchen cook fish for lunch." ”
The manager behind him wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to the kitchen.
On the lotus pavilion in the backyard, Yaoling's crisp laughter came from time to time, and Yueqing on the side was also smiling, and there were already a lot of fish in the bamboo basket next to it, and there were really a few crabs crawling in it.
"I'm so happy to fish" The light words floated by, and suddenly he turned around and saw the moonlight with a face like water, Yueqing was startled, and the fishing rod in his hand almost fell off.
Yaoling was used to the appearance of the moonlight, but after all, she came to fish without permission, and she was a little embarrassed to put down the fishing rod in her hand. walked up to him, and said to Yueming with some flattery: "The beauty lake in the palace can't catch fish, and it doesn't matter if you think that there are one or two fish missing in such a big lotus pond as yours." As she was talking, she saw Yueming's eyes looking at her, so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her eyes, and since that day, when she heard that Yueming's eyes could deter souls, she didn't dare to look at Yueming's eyes.
Looking at Yaoling who lowered her eyes, Yueming said softly: "I know I'm scared" Hearing this, her lowered eyes suddenly rose, and the fearlessness in her eyes met Yueming's deep eyes.
Yueming smiled, a very graceful smile: "Let's use lunch here, just eat the fish you caught," and then turned around and walked away.
Yaoling behind him smiled at Yue Qingwan who was in a daze.
After a while, a maid took away the fish and crabs from the basket.
Soon after, the two also collected their fishing rods and walked towards Yueming's residence. Walking through the Moon Gate and turning through the bamboo forest, Yueqing and Yaoling saw Wu Yu wearing a light blue gauze skirt at the same time, and saw her walking not far ahead. Yueqing couldn't help but pause in her walking steps, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Yaoling called out clearly: "Wu Ling", Wu Ling, who had just walked over, heard someone calling her, and hurriedly turned around and saw Yaoling in a light purple gauze skirt, and immediately walked over with a smile on her face, and was about to salute Yaoling and Yueqing, but was pulled by Yaoling, the two asked one by one, and Yueqing next to her carefully observed Wu Ling, Yaoling asked a few words, and waved goodbye to Wu Ling.
"Haven't you seen a beautiful woman," Yao Ling asked, turning her head to look at Yueqing who was looking at Wu Yu's back.
When he turned around, he saw Yaoling's smiling eyes, and Yueqing's face couldn't help but turn red.
"I see that girl looks like you," he added, after a pause, "especially the silhouette," he said softly.
"How come" As soon as the words came out, they were stuck in her throat again, and suddenly there was a lightning bolt in her mind, illuminating a certain place, and she remembered the scene when Wu Xuan, who was in a daze in the inn in Xiwu, grabbed her and called Yu'er in her mouth. It seemed that something floated through her mind but she didn't grasp it, and muttered in her mouth: "Wu Yu, Wu Yu, fire Wu Xiang Wu Yu" She suddenly turned around and flashed in the direction of Wu Yu.
Yueqing wanted to chase after Yaoling, but she was gone. I couldn't help but shake my head and walked towards the place where Yaoling Wu Yu disappeared, and then there was a light question next to him: "Where is Yaoling?"
Wu Yu was gesturing at the Jade Pavilion to tell Wu Yu that when she met Yao Ling, Yao Ling suddenly came in through the door.
Looking at Yao Ling who entered the door, Wu Ying's face had a smile, and now his complexion has recovered very well after recuperation, and he has gained a little fatter. stood up and thought that he wanted to give a salute, but found that the look on Yaoling's face was wrong, and the others froze in place.
Walking up to Wu Ling, Yaoling's eyes looked at Wu Ling carefully for a while, looking at the look on Yaoling's face, Wu Ling was frightened, and her beautiful big eyes were a little timid.
After reading it, Wu Yu stared at Wu Yu intently: "What is the relationship between you and Wu Xiang?"
Hearing the word Wu Xiang, there was a strong fear and sadness in Wu Yu's eyes on the side, and his whole body kept shaking.
Wu Yu grabbed Wu Yu and said softly: "Jue'er, don't be afraid." There was deep sadness and indignation in his eyes when he looked at Yaoling: "He is the father of the family" said slowly in a dark voice.
It feels like there is a thin veil of darkness, and as long as the veil is lifted, the beautiful and ugly hidden inside will be revealed.
Stabilized his violently beating heart, mustered up some strength, Yao Ling stretched out his hand and slowly took off the white magnolia hairpin from the bun, brought it to Wu Xuan's eyes, looked at him and asked word by word: "Do you know this hairpin?" There was longing and inexplicable sadness in his eyes.
Seeing the jade hairpin in Yaoling's hand, Wu Xuan's heart slammed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
All the expressions on his face did not escape Yaoling's clear eyes.
"Can you tell me the origin of this hairpin?" there was a slight trilling in his voice.
Wu Xuan's body also trembled slightly.
Slowly walking in from outside the door, a white figure stood behind Yaoling.
Wu Ying looked at the hairpin in Yaoling's hand, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "This is what I carved for Yu'er with my light hands." It was Rong Yuan's gift to her when she was in Jilu. ”
Suddenly everything became clear. Things in the world are like this, what you have been searching for may not be obtained, but you can easily get it if you give up.
She remembered the words he said when she first saw Rong Yuan at the gate of Concubine Min's Palace, and his flashing eyes on a moonlit night: "This magnolia hairpin is really beautiful if you don't have it." In other words, he had already recognized the hairpin at that time. Thinking of Concubine Min's terrible scolding that day, he didn't let her say the last words, it turned out that he knew his identity at that time, no wonder he wanted to recognize her as his daughter, and he also wanted to hold a canonization ceremony for her with great fanfare. "Princess Rongyu" - why is she so stupid, isn't Rong Yu the name and surname that Rong Yuan gave her. Haven't you already told her who her parents were? Why was she so stupid, it was his own father, but she didn't feel it at all. Mother, the damned Concubine Min, thinking about how her mother was persecuted by Concubine Min, thinking about how her young mother was injured in the grand hall, thinking about how her mother avoided Concubine Min's pursuit, thinking about the circumstances under which her mother gave birth to her. She could also think of the heart-rending pain when her mother abandoned her in the wilderness, the tears rolling down in big drops, and the pain of her heart being torn apart.
Yueming walked gently in front of Yaoling, saw the tears rolling down her face, stretched out her warm hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, but finally stopped at the tip of Yaoling's nose and did not move forward.
Yueqing, who was standing outside the door, looked at the scene in front of him and wanted to step forward, but he didn't step into the house after all.
Yaoling felt that she had no strength to stand, her hand clenched into a fist, and the whole person squatted down, put her arms crossed on her knees and buried her head in the crook of her arms, and the whole person curled up on the ground in front of Yueming, like a wounded kitten, only the violent twitching of her shoulders could see how sad her heart was.
Yueming's heart hurt fiercely, and finally reached out and gently held her twitching shoulders to make her hungry, and the Yaoling who was helped up was no longer as beautiful as before, and the whole person seemed to have been hit by a storm, and it looked like it was about to wither.
Yueming couldn't help the distress in her heart again, and suddenly hugged her in her arms, and called softly: "Yaoling, Yaoling"
Yao Ling raised her eyes when she heard Yueming's call and looked at him vacantly, trying to hold back her crying, but she didn't know anything when it was dark in front of her.
Looking at Yao Ling who fainted in his arms, a deep pain crossed Yueming's eyes, and the strong love hidden in his heart was unscrupulously released at this moment, devouring his entire heart and making him lose his former calmness and elegance. hugged the person in his arms, slowly walked out of the Jade Cuixuan, and the voice of the three-year-old pink girl sounded in his ears again: "You are so good-looking." ”
