Chapter 14: Birth and Departure
A layer of faint pearl light faded on the skin, and the hand holding Qingdai outlined the eyebrows like distant mountains on this piece of painting paper, and the eyes were like autumn water. The pen is fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info cherry mouth, and the lightly opened lip flap is dyed a faint red. The gold-leaf flower is cut into a peach blossom and covers the center of the eyebrows, shimmering in the candlelight.
Zige looked at the beautiful flowers in the mirror, and it was a little difficult to distinguish his face for a while. This face that has been plain for 18 years, after putting on beautiful makeup, is also breathtakingly beautiful.
The mother's dexterous hand turned over and pulled between her hair, but after a while, it was tied into a delicate hanging bun, and the two rings of long hair hung down lightly behind her head, and the hair was dotted with gold rings, which made her face playful and smart.
"Xin Yue ......" Niang looked at Zige, and was a little distracted for a while, "When Queen Yang was in the boudoir, she was as beautiful as you, which made people fall in love with it." ”
"I look very similar to Aunt Yang?"
Zige was a little curious, what kind of wonderful person was the aunt who moved the world with the sentence "If you marry a wife and win Yang Xinyue, you will win the marquis of the rivers and mountains"?
"Since they are blood relatives, there are naturally some similarities between their eyebrows, but Yang Hou's temperament is even more heartbreaking, like flowers shining on the water." The mother gently stroked her back, "You are still a little immature." But in time, Ge'er will be as graceful as her and make great achievements. ”
"Mother...... Didn't you say, 'May I be careful in my word and deed, and live in peace?' Zige asked.
These days, she has also been thinking about where she should go from here. On the surface, she seems to be cheerful and free-spirited, and she always used to make fun of Xie Miao, who has a plain and modest personality, but in fact, she also yearns for a peaceful and comfortable life in her heart. It's just that now that she knows that she has such a family grudge, it is difficult for her heart to remain calm.
"It is Sister Lan's obsession to let you fly away and stay incognito, I have had many restrictions on you over the years, and I have also complied with her wishes, teaching you not to show your edge too early. But Qizhenjing's prophecy is by no means empty words, 'You can prosper the world, but you can die in the world', Ge'er, you are not an ordinary woman. As I watched you grow older, the clearer I became to this. The mother said slowly, "You are twenty-two years old today, and my mother hopes that you can make your own choice as to where to go in the future." Success or failure turns empty, Qingshan is still there, and the Si people are gone. ”
"Mother, I know that you are reluctant for me to ask for an invitation from the King of Chengjiang without permission, but I will definitely protect myself." Zige held her hand and said coquettishly, "Ge'er's intelligence was learned from my mother, isn't my mother still at ease?" ”
"You bastard...... Mother is naturally relieved. The mother looked at her lovingly and straightened the hair ornament on the back of her head, "The song is not yet in time, and the mother can't comb the woman's hair for you, otherwise you will definitely be more beautiful." ”
"That's enough, otherwise you'll steal the limelight from Sister Hongsheng. For the rest of the hairstyles, after I have finished it, my mother can teach me hand-in-hand. ”
Zige gently rested her head on her mother's lap, just like when she was a child. The mother was speechless for a while, just gently stroked the broken hair around her neck.
There was silence for a long time, and all I could hear was the sound of the candles bursting in the room.
"Today coincides with your birthday, and my mother has a gift for you first."
The mother said suddenly, got up and walked to the bookcase, and took out an item from the locked box on the top layer. The familiar scene reminded Zige of the Mid-Autumn Festival eight years ago, when her mother revealed her family origin to her for the first time.
"Ge'er, do you remember this?"
In the mother's hand, she holds a gorgeous and graceful golden step, and the shape is a phoenix with wings ready to fly. Since I met that night, Zige has always been unforgettable.
"The phoenix is flying, and its feathers are feathering. Mother's teachings, Ge'er has always kept in mind. ”
"What I'm going to say today is something else." The mother put the golden step in her hand, "In order to avenge the Yang family's feud, I have been preparing for many years, no matter whether things succeed or fail today, for me, I am satisfied, but the future of the Yang family still needs to be in the hands of you, a junior." ”
"Mother, such a heavy burden...... Ge'er still hopes that you can take care of it for a little more time. Zige held the golden step, warm and delicate touch, like a torch that had been burning for many years.
"This hairpin was given to me by the queen before I left the palace. For Qingluan Daily, seeing it is like seeing Lord Yang. It was thanks to it that I was able to evade the pursuers and finally settle down in Ayara Castle thanks to the help of many of my fellow disciples when I took you on a journey to a foreign land. The mother coughed lightly, her voice was a little hoarse, "In the past, when you were still young, I acted as an agent for you in various intelligence affairs, and now that you are sensible, you will start to take the helm for the Yang family." Yang Hou was eighteen years old to go into battle to kill the enemy, and made military achievements, although my song did not have the opportunity to go into battle, but I can still take this opportunity to achieve some achievements. ”
Zige didn't speak, just nodded firmly. The hairpin was in her hand, slightly heavy, just like her mood at this time.
"Be careful tonight. King Chengjiang and Lu Liu are not idle people, and their identities have not been recognized. The mother's words changed sharply, and her face was worried.
"The song has its own measure, and the name 'Lin Ange' has been used for all these years, and there has never been a flaw." Although Zige said this, when she first met Gao Zhan that day, she knew that this person was a difficult opponent. That scrutinizing look still frightened her when she thought about it.
The mother thought about it, and then advised: "The son of Nanzhao Mu's Lixuan is a credible person. This expedition can also be combined with him. If the mirror can really be found, it will take the descendants of Muhammad to know how to use it. ”
"Okay, Ge'er got it. He ...... from Xuan Gongzi It always gives me a sense of déjà vu. ”
His faint smile when he parted made Zige inexplicably feel at ease. It is really rare to have a noble person to help in the tiger's den in Longtan. Thinking of Lian'er and Junjun sincerely looking forward to meeting at the banquet, the clouds in her heart were also dispelled.
"His father and I ...... But it's an old friend, in Beijing in the past, maybe you have seen him too......" The mother couldn't help coughing a few times, and she couldn't stop for a while, so Zige gently patted her back and helped her smooth out.
There was a knock on the door, it was Hongsheng, and her voice sounded a little nervous.
"Ge'er, it's time, Zhao's car is already waiting at the front door."
"Okay, I'll come here." Zige raised his voice and replied. When she turned back again, her mother was looking at her in a daze, as if she wanted to say something.
"Be careful." She finally whispered.
"Wait until I get back."
Zige shook her hand, took the package and turned to leave.
There was only one person and one lamp left in the room, and the candlelight dragged the figure for a long time until it melted into the thick night outside.
How is the night? The night is not young. The light of the court.
