Chapter 3 The beginning and end of the pomegranate tree
I have seen this sentence in a book, and the beginning and end of the story are a perfect circle.
When she woke up from her dream that day, somehow, Ye Daiwan remembered this sentence. She patted the man beside her who was groping on the hand before he opened his eyes. "Remove your hand, or I don't guarantee that I won't cut off a piece for breakfast. β
"Oh, what bloody violence. My Majesty the Empress. Someone, whose eyes were still not open, kissed his palm happily. "It's still sweet, though. β
Ye Daiwan unceremoniously kicked him off the bed. "No matter how sweet your mouth is, it's useless. It's all your fault, I was told by Shushen for a long time. β
"But I was beaten with a broom by your Lord Lu for a long time. Xie Xuan lay on the ground and refused to get up, turned over lazily, hugged the pillow on the ground, and closed his eyes again.
"You deserve it. Ye Daiwan said this as she got up from the bed and reached out to pull him up. "Don't sleep anymore. Get up. I...... Go to the upper court. Scarlet, changing clothes. β
Then her step away was grabbed by the shameless man. "Wait, wait, that's not what you're talking about. What's wrong with you? Twilight, you don't look good. β
Ye Daiwan was silent. Xie Xuan stood up and hugged her. "Hey, baby, what the hell are you thinking? You look sad. Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, well, well, I'm a little hungry. Ye Daiwan subconsciously changed the topic, but it was obvious that it was impossible to successfully deal with Xie Xuan with such a stupid perfunctory.
Xie Xuan refused to let her go, and drove Feiqi out. "Give us a little time, thank you. And my dear, I said that you can't bear the pain alone, whatever it is, share it with me. Then he scratched Ye Daidu's armpit.
Ye Daiwan laughed and twisted her body, trying to avoid his hand. "Okay, I see, I was wrong. I tell you, I tell you, what I was thinking. It's okay. If you move again, I'll be angry. Hahahaha......"
"Good. Then you say. "Xie Xuan's rogue appearance is really helpless for Ye Daidu.
Ye Daiwan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "I can't help you. Actually, it's not something that can cause pain. I was just...... I just, kind of want to go somewhere. β
"I'll accompany you, we'll go now. Xie Xuan changed her clothes without saying a word, skillfully changed Ye Daiwan's clothes, and then combed her hair.
Before Ye Daiwan could react, she asked him to clean up. At the moment of going out, Ye Daiwan grabbed his arm. "It's not. That's what, I'm going to go to court soon. I'll go to the court first. Skipping work will be said to be dead by them. β
"No, it won't. I've got your back. Xie Xuan forcibly stole her out of the window.
Ye Daiwan spread her limbs and clung to the pillar on the window. "I don't want to, it's me who won't go to court and be scolded, not you. And you say these things every time you take me out to play, and you don't leave me and run away at the critical moment. The last time I went to Beishanju and was caught by Shushen, you actually jumped out of the window on the spot, leaving me to the angry Shushen. β
"Speaking of which, I have to scold. Bastard, you want to do it again. Absolutely not. Ye Daiwan scolded here, and then immediately became angry and grabbed his arm hard. ", I'm not going to do it. β
Xie Xuan struggled with her, and then gently stroked her little head. "Well, duplicity is wrong. β
"You take care of me. Ye Daidu, who was exposed, said angrily.
"Yes, I'm going to take care of you. You're my daughter-in-law, of course I don't care if you're happy or not. Where do you want to go? After thinking about it for a long time, Xie Xuan came up with such a word.
"I've found that you're getting more and more shameless. The cold noble boy I fell in love with must have been dazzled by me. Ye Daiwan complained, young man, your character collapsed too quickly, and the avalanche was not so serious.
But, even so, she still likes the man in front of her. This living man in front of him, who can laugh and cry stupidly.
"Yes. Don't you like me like this?" Xie Xuan grimaced at her.
Ye Daiwan was amused. "Haha...... I can't stand you. Alright, alright, I said yes. I...... I want to go home. No, I mean go back to Changping Cheng Wangfu once. I want to go back and see. β
"Isn't that simple? You haven't been back before?" Xie Xuan immediately realized the secret.
"Yes. I haven't been back. I haven't been back since the day I arrived at the palace. Ye Daiwan let go of her hand, turned around, and hugged Xie Xuan's neck.
"Why?" Xie Xuan hugged her, jumped lightly from the window, and carried her all the way.
"Because I ......" Ye Daiwan put her arms around his neck and pressed her face against his skin, feeling the hot temperature below. Then I finally mustered up the courage to speak out. "Because I'm afraid. I'm scared of You'an. I'm just a coward. Don't laugh at me. β
"I see, you see, I have never been back to the cellar where I was held. Xie Xuan said calmly. For him, that experience has passed, not forgotten, but not cared about. Because now, he has embraced the most beautiful and cherished treasure in the world.
Compared to the joy and happiness brought by the person in the arms, all the pain and sorrow are so short and shallow.
"It may not be the same. Ye Daiwan didn't want to hurt him, but she still answered honestly. "I used to bury my treasures there. Although I have had a lot of pain, it is undeniable that I have received something that nothing in this world can match. β
"But it's still painful, isn't it?" Xie Xuan kissed her sideburns gently. "You're still scared, that woman used to hurt you, right?Twilight, don't be afraid, she can't hurt you now. I'm here, and no one can hurt you. Don't be afraid, my little girl. β
"You said that last night. It's not convincing. Ye Daiwan said with a smile.
"Wait, I don't want to mention that now. On the contrary, Xie Xuan was so excited by her words that his face turned red.
Ye Daiwan smiled and kissed his hot ears. "You're shy. My little girl, you're so funny, too. You're right, what do I have to fear? Even if she's alive, I'm not afraid of her. I have a heavy eagle, I have a prudent ...... I still have you. β
"You've gone too far, and you've put me in the back line. Xie Xuan said angrily.
"Why, haven't you heard of it, the more important the more important, the last. You're the most important thing. Ye Daiwan said with a grin.
"Not sincere at all, you duplicitous fellow. Xie Xuan nodded her nose. "I won't be dealt with by your perfunctory words. In your heart, it is clear that your sword, food and wine, even Lu Shushen is more important than me. β
"Shushen is a little more important than you. Ye Daiwan made a very small gesture, not much bigger than an ant, but Xie Xuan still bit her lip very unhappily.
"You're a dog. The two of them just played around and walked to the scarlet door. The door that once imprisoned all the pain and joy of Ye Daidu's childhood.
"It's here. Xie Xuan put her down.
Ye Daiwan felt that her steps were a little too fast, but in the eyes of others, it was probably a little too slow. She reached out and gently touched the door in her heart. "This door is so small. Compared to the Imperial Palace, when I saw it when I was a child, I always felt that it was very large, like a mountain. β
Xie Xuan didn't interject, he knew that what she needed at this moment was not an answer, but a listener.
"There's a gazebo here, I didn't remember it before. Ye Daiwan wiped the cobwebs from the stone pillar and said with a smile.
"Sometimes that's the case. Xie Xuan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the dirt on her hands.
The two men said as they walked towards their destined place. The pomegranate tree, at this time, was full of fruits, so red that it reflected half of the sky, the sky of Ye Dai twilight. "I was once rescued by a cat. He raised me and died in my arms. I had nothing, but the days with him were still warm. β
"I call him Meow Meow. There's a lot of stuff buried here, he brought in his mouth, you know? He used to give me a bell on my birthday, and I saw it in somebody else's carriage, and I was envious, and he gave me one. I don't know how he understood my wishes, but since then, I feel that he is a spirit sent to me by God. β
Ye Daiwan said as she and Xie Xuan dug the pit together. In addition to the yellowed paper and the broken puppets, there is also a pair of small and delicate golden bells.
And when Xie Xuan picked up the bell, he said in surprise.
"Twilight. This is my bell. One of the cats I had that would disappear every now and then, but would always come back. Until one day he stole the bell I hung on the carriage and never came back. β
Ye Daiwan looked at him and smiled.
"So, is this a cat's retribution?"
Xie Xuan kissed Ye Daiwan and laughed.
"I think so. β
