Chapter 16: As if it were yesterday

The birds on the branches slowly pick up the sun, and the leaves cover the earth with a thick blanket of natural fibers before winter comes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the info room, Nian Ni stretched out comfortably, sniffing the fragrance in the air. It turned out that before leaving class yesterday, the Xuan Ritual Messenger was allowed to rest one.

"Miss, you're awake." Ziyi put down a plate of pastries and walked to Nianni's bedside.

"Yes." It's another fragrance, so fragrant, it's like a peach blossom! "Ziyi! Are the peach blossoms blooming in the yard? ”

Ziyi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Miss is so smart, she knows what she is made of before she sees it." Sigh, the queen ordered someone to bring the newly made peach cake early in the morning. ”

"Peach Luan Crisp?" It's a novelty name, and it sounds delicious.

"I heard from the people in the palace that the queen is not only kind, but also very skillful, often pounding pastries, I heard that this peach cake is the mother to pick the newly blooming peach blossoms in the east fence garden to make the filling, after twelve secret processes to make. Miss must have a good taste today. ”

"Haha! Are you sure? It's hard to hold back when you smell it, so you'll taste it later! With that, Nian Ni immediately got up and changed her clothes.

"Really?! Miss, you're so nice! Ziyi seems to have really picked up the pie that fell from the sky, look at her happy appearance.

"Speaking of the queen, it seems that I haven't greeted her since I entered the palace......" Then he turned his face to look at Ziyi mysteriously, "Such a faux pas, will I ...... Killed...... No, I'll go right after breakfast. So he immediately ran to the table.

"Miss! You haven't dressed yet! ………… The etiquette of the other day was really learned in vain......" Zi Yi stood in place and sighed, suddenly realizing the inner torment of the Xuan Ritual Envoy.

That night, the maid who was talking to Shu Huai appeared in Xishuo Court, showed a phoenix spirit token at the door of the wing, and then entered the house. The people in the room were calmly making tea, and the calmness under those eyes seemed to be in his hands.

"Lord Wang."

Shu Huai turned around, glanced at the saluting person, and then turned around casually and continued to make tea.

"Get up."

"No."

"Jingyu, this king ventured to find you today to ask about Lord Xiao Shu. Have you investigated what happened after she fell off the cliff that day? ”

Jing Yu thought for a while and replied, "Back to the prince, Xiao Jing has sealed this matter in the mansion, and only those who are close to him know the situation of the county lord." However, our Nei Ying overheard Xiao Jing's close guard say...... After Lord Xiao Shu woke up, he lost his memory. ”

"Amnesia?" Shu Huai put down the tea set in his hand, and a layer of mist floated in his eyes. Because of amnesia, she doesn't remember me? Or is it just a trick on their part...... Shu Huai shook again and thought of the pursuit in the bamboo woodland. When the pursuers saw her that night, they retreated, and if it weren't for a group, they would not have let it go. And I proposed the marriage to weaken the power of the Pakistani side, and they agreed so easily, could it be that they had other intentions? ……

"Good. I know. You stand down. ”

"No." So Jingyu carefully left Xishuo Court. In the room, Shu Huai frowned, trying his best to clear his thoughts, there were some things that he couldn't forgive. Now that Shu is embattled, he can't have a trace of slackness.

…… Close your eyes and reminisce about that day......

"Drive! Drive! The sound of horses' hooves was mixed, resounding throughout the Qingcheng Mountains and Forests. The masked woman in black led dozens of guards in pursuit, and Shu Huai with only ten attendants tried to break a way, while delaying time for reinforcements to arrive.

Xiao Nianni, who followed closely, took the bow and arrow with one hand, and shot a few arrows at the opponent's horse's hooves with lightning speed, and the Shu Huai attendants who followed behind fell to the ground one after another, and Nianni rode away at a gallop, pulled out his sword and brushed it twice to take the lives of those attendants. Those attendants were all Shu Huai's former brothers, but now he couldn't stop, he couldn't bring their corpses back to his homeland for burial, he could only endure the resentment in his heart and speed away. And Xiao Nianni is still close behind, which is bound to make Shu Huai's life die here, her eyes are full of the ruthlessness of a killer, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of ignoring life under the bloodthirsty light.

"He, King Jiangyang! You can't escape, and I'm going to take your life today!" ”

There is no danger, and one step further is the cliff, fortunately Shu Huai stopped the horse in time. As the prince of Shu, even if he was surrounded and killed by dozens of people at the last moment before he died, he had to maintain his prestige.

"Really? Until the last moment, where did the girl come from? ”

"Hmph, I have long heard that King Jiangyang is not afraid of danger, but I am afraid that after today, you can only cover the heroes in the Yin Cao Mansion."

"Lord Wang, we swear to serve the Lord to the death!" The remaining seven living attendants stood in front of Shu Huai. "Lord Wang! As long as our brother lives for one day, he will not let the prince be harmed! As he spoke, the attendants pulled out their long swords and slowly gathered around Shuhuai, "Lord Wang! If they want to hurt you, they have to step over the brothers! ”

Seeing this situation, Shu Huai was heartily moved by the attendants, but he didn't want to be protected by others all his life, because of the title of a prince, he couldn't live and die with his brothers.

"No! Get out of the way! This king orders each of you to accompany this king back to Shu alive! ”

"Lord Wang, please forgive me for not being able to obey my fate!"

The more Shu Huai struggled, the tighter the attendants became, and ten thousand arrows did not penetrate.

"Archer!" Xiao Nianni shouted. Then the five archers set up a formation in front of Xiao Nianni, and the arrows were already on the string.

"I didn't expect the girl to be such a vicious person."

"Haha! I'm waiting for a female stream to deal with you big men, if you are not insidious, how can you win? ”

"You!" Shu Huai was touched to the bottom line, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his muscles burst out.

"Brothers! Swear to protect the prince to the death! ”

"Shoot the arrows!"

Random arrows were shot at those attendants, one arrow after another mercilessly penetrated the body of the attendants, blood splashed on Shu Huai's face, his heart was extremely tormented, but he could only watch the people around him die one by one, but he was well protected in it, and he was completely unable to break free from the circle formed by the attendants. He raised his eyes and saw Xiao Nianni sneering at the corners of his mouth through the chaotic arrows. At that moment, he wanted to break her into pieces!

"Lord Wang! We're here to save you! ”

A group of Shu soldiers appeared behind Xiao Nianni, and in the dust, Xiao Nianni's dozens of guards were left in an instant, and even the five archers beside him were killed in an instant. Xiao Nianni's heart was as sad as falling off a cliff. She was now the only one left among the dozens of guards, but behind her were a thousand soldiers and horses. Xiao Nianni, the top-level swordsman of Pakistan, the daughter of the prime minister, she has her pride and self-esteem, and now she has to fight for even the last glimmer of hope.

At this time, the attendants around Shu Huai had fallen, and Shu Huai was a little relieved when he saw the reinforcements, but he was still angry in his heart. Xiao Nianni grabbed the last straw, and she jumped lightly and put the sword on Shu Huai's neck.

"Let them stand down, or the jade will be burned."

"Heh, are the generals of Shu so incompetent?" As he spoke, Shu Huai quickly took out the dagger on his waist and hit Xiao Nianni's shoulder hard, Xiao Nianni took a few steps back, and blood dripped from his shoulder to the ground little by little. At this time, there is a cliff behind her, and a step back is ...... She looked at Shu Huai and an army of thousands of people approaching step by step in front of her, she closed her eyes, she might be crushed, but only one step back can live up to her mission. At the last moment before his death, Xiao Nianni glared at Shu Huai fiercely, then lay back and fell off the cliff.

When Shu Huai turned his head, all he saw were the attendants lying on the ground, their bodies like arrow targets......

Until now, he can't forget, he can't forget those brothers who sacrificed to save himself, and what he can't forget is that he is a prince, the prince of Shu, the arm of King Lu of Shu, and he must protect Shu. Maybe this identity has made him lose a lot of sincerity, but he must accept the cruelty of reality, those bloody truths......

Lama Temple.

"Xiao Nianni, a folk girl, meet the queen." After eating, Nianni hurried to the queen to greet her.

The king was really said to be as follows, and the whole palace was filled with a warm and kind atmosphere.

"Ni'er is here, please get up." The queen walked up to Nianni and kindly took Nianni's hand, "Let Bengong take a good look - well, Ni'er has grown up, and Bengong is almost unrecognizable." I think you were only so big when you entered the palace with Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, and now you have grown into a beauty. ”

Nian Ni didn't know what to answer for a while, whether she wanted to pat the queen's ass at this time. So he said obediently: "I haven't seen you for many years, and my mother is still as young as before!" ”

"Hahaha, just you can talk." The queen treats Nianni like her own daughter.

"Queen Mother's !!!" Yihe shouted and entered the hall, and saw that Sister Ni'er was also in the hall, so he immediately stopped his feet.

"Look at you, as a princess, you behave so inappropriately, I would have sent you to learn the national ceremony if I knew it."

"Sister Ni'er learns the national rites to get married, and I don't marry, besides, it's not good for me to be by my mother's side, why do you marry so early." Yihe took Nianni's hand and smiled sweetly at Nianni.

"You kid." The queen smiled relievedly, such a lovely daughter, she was really reluctant to marry her.

"Queen Mother~ For the sake of me loving you so much, the day after tomorrow will be ...... I can't participate. ”

"I knew you must have something to ask for to please your mother like this. Anyway, it doesn't hurt to go to the Grain Society, the queen mother is approved, by the way, Ni'er will go with her, so that there will be a response. ”

Nian Ni heard that she could go out of the palace for a walk, and the flower in her heart was blooming! Today is really a good day, everything you want can come true~ Yihe heard that the queen mother was so happy, and clapped his hands happily, "Okay, good!" Thank you! "Thank you, Queen!"

"Since you're here, let's talk with Hongu for a while. Luo Ying, you go and bring the cinnamon honey cake you just made, as well as the mochi cake, and then put some Ganlin Yulu. "You can see that the queen is very happy today.

"No." Luo Ying saw that the Lord was in a good mood, and her mood was also much more refreshed.

The queen likes to chat with her juniors, because it is not easy to chat with a few people in this deep palace, and the children basically do not return to their hometown when they grow up because of the interests of the country. Such a day is a day to have, and you must cherish it.

"Queen Mother, what are we talking about today?"

The queen pretended to be thoughtful, and then immediately smiled and said, "Let's talk about you today." ”

Yihe was stunned, "Talk about me?!" ”

Without waiting for Yihe to react, the queen began to speak, "Ni'er, this Yi is the same as the naughty one when he was a child, like a boy, running around, I don't know how many times my feet and legs have been bruised." Once I scribbled on the king's bamboo slips, in order not to let the king find out, the girl put the bamboo slips on her ass all day long......"

"The Queen Mother! ~"Yihe is annoyed and embarrassed. That's right, I was very skinny when I was a kid, but what's the matter, it's called silly cute!

Nianni listened carefully, covering her mouth and laughing. Oh, yes...... It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed, and since coming to this era, it's enough to have a moment of pleasure.
