Chapter 13 Sink into the sound of the piano and remember the past
After entering the palace, they were separated from the singers, and as musicians in the Murong Prince's Mansion, they would sit with the princes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 During the info banquet, I saw Yunbian, who had not met in the morning, and sat beside him with a look that had not changed for thousands of years. Jiu Li and Xue Chen found a vacant seat next to Ye Shu and sat down together.
The envoys of various countries were seated one after another, and Jiuli looked around and saw a familiar face at the table not far from them.
Mu Ke was dressed in a decent way today, and his cyan shirt added a touch of elegance to his evil face. He had been watching her from the moment she entered, and now he saw that she was looking for him, and smiled meaningfully. Jiu Li glared at him, pretending not to see him and turned his head.
The feast of the princess of a country is really unprecedented, and the talented and beautiful women of all countries come to celebrate, and the country with small power may not even have such treatment when the new emperor ascends the throne.
In addition to the nobles of the mortal world, even a god like Mu Ke, who has rarely been seen for thousands of years, can be invited, and then look at the table next to Mu Ke, the two men and one woman are all extraordinary in appearance and good temperament, presumably which god or immortal system was invited to come down to the mortal to congratulate.
Wait, though.
The two men and one woman, the woman's light veil brushed her face, and her eyes swept through the field sharply, quite familiar... Isn't it the woman who sits in a wooden sedan chair and can kill people with her eyes?
Jiu Li was shocked and quickly looked down at the fruits and vegetables on the table.
Thinking about it carefully, she was the daughter of the Jiao King of the East China Sea 10,000 years ago, and her status was above 10,000 people under one person, and her dignity was better than that of today's princesses.
Now it's just the decline of the family, is it a head lower than others? No, now mentioning her father's name in the Six Realms is also the object of respect of thousands of people, even if she loses the protection of her family, she is also an ancient endangered divine beast, shouldn't she be protected by the people of the Six Realms?
Now in this small mortal realm, she was actually frightened by a gaze, if she let her brother Xi Song know, she would not be able to laugh at her for a few months.
I think it must be that she has been in the stone for too long, and has seen too much of the chasing scenes of the irrigation and the ear mouse, and has formed a mindset of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and always feels that when she encounters dangerous things, she should hide first like those two, and she doesn't know how to face it head-on.
Thinking like this, she was relieved, as if she unintentionally raised her head and continued to look around, it was obvious that all the guests, including the masked woman, were talking to herself, and no one noticed her.
The empty seats in the banquet gradually filled, and at this time, there was a commotion in the crowd, and it turned out that it was the monarch of Beidi who appeared. Sure enough, his majestic appearance is very much in line with the image of such a big country monarch.
The monarch expressed his gratitude to all the guests for coming, and then waved his hand, and the singers and dancers who had been prepared for a long time entered the venue, with light steps, graceful dancing, beautiful appearances, and most importantly, the wonderful piano sound made all the people present admire. However, all of you here today are people who have seen the big scene, so no one is surprised to express it.
The banquet has begun, but it has not been seen for a long time that today's protagonist Princess Yinghua has entered, Rao is a noble child of various countries with connotation and cultivation, and a few people have shown eagerness.
A bold man stood up to salute, his voice was thick and loud, and he asked the monarch directly: "Your Majesty, the junior is the seventh son of Emperor Zhou Rao. Yinghua, the only princess of Suwen Sheng, not only has a beautiful national appearance, but also inherits the essence of Beidi Guoqinse. Many of the young talents present came to participate in the princess's ceremony, and they should be looking forward to the princess's beauty and talent as much as the younger generations. ”
His audacity and straightforwardness caused laughter from those present, and the atmosphere of the banquet became lighter for a while, and he did ask many of the questions that men wanted to ask.
The monarch was not angry at him for his rudeness, he looked at the chief steward waiting next to him, and the steward stepped forward to explain: "Your Majesty is deeply pleased that distinguished guests from all over the world have come from thousands of miles to participate in Princess Yinghua's ceremony. It's just that Princess Yinghua likes to play when she is young, and she says that her coming-of-age ceremony should appear in her own way, so as to leave a deep impression on everyone and make everyone wait for a long time to look at Haihan. ”
The prince of Yanqi just now hurriedly got up and said: "Today is the princess's coming-of-age ceremony, I have the honor to witness this important moment of the princess, of course, we have to take care of the princess's feelings, and it doesn't hurt to wait for a moment now." ”
The crowd chimed in.
The orchestra is silky, the singer is dancing, and the banquet is still the same.
Suddenly, an ethereal sound came from outside the hall, sometimes mournful and sad, sometimes sad and joyful. It makes the listener fascinated, as if it were illusion and reality, and the whole body and mind suddenly open up, as if they are outside the Six Realms.
What kind of sound is that, happy and light and tactful, sad and depressed.
Jiuli seemed to float to another world in the purification of this piano sound, forgetting the banquet of the mortal world, forgetting the real world he was in at the moment, and only remembering that everything was a dream in a trance, waking up that he was still the most beloved princess of the East China Sea Shark King.
The swing on the fruit tree swayed softly, something she begged her brother Xi Song to make for her.
She likes to lie on it the most, and when the daylight is strong, her brother will use his spiritual power to remove the layers of sea water for her. The deep sea, thousands of miles away from the sea, was like a transparent plastic film at that moment, and when it was touched lightly, the ripples slowly swayed from the middle to the surroundings, so that the sunlight would also penetrate in the wisps and sprinkle on her squinted eyelids, warm. Sunlight is the color of pink.
As if she had had a long dream, she opened her eyes on the swing as usual, and the sunlight still penetrated through the sea water with her brother's spiritual power, pink and warm.
She waited for her brother to pat her on the head and carry her back to the Crystal Palace, as he often did.
She used to play tricks for another hour, not wanting to go home so soon.
Today, for some reason, she was very anxious, and she had never been so anxious to go home to see her mother. It's not because she will be scolded by her mother if she goes back late, she knows that even if she does something wrong, her mother will not blame her.
The queen mother is the most gentle woman in the world, and she will only look at herself helplessly when she is naughty.
She just wanted to get home quickly.
She searched eagerly under the fruit tree, where her brother had always preferred to lean his slender body. But there is no trace of his brother Xi Song there today.
There was silence all around.
The sea is also still.
Even the wisps of sunlight that seeped through seemed to freeze frame.
There was only her and the swing that was swinging slowly.
"Princess—" suddenly an old voice called softly.
Jiu Li got off the swing, as if under a spell, and looked for the old voice.
In the hazy sunlight stood a rickety figure, although there was no wind around, but I don't know why the black cloak on the man seemed to flutter in the wind. It's just that the face under the black cloak can't be seen clearly.
The scene was familiar, as if I had stood in front of this black cloak many years ago.
Ahead, the man let out a narrow laugh, and the old voice was determined to see through everything: "You can't wait for him." Never wait. ”
Jiu Li's tears had already fallen, and she shook her head desperately and shouted in pain at the black cloak, "It's not like this! It's not like that!"
The black cloak did not speak, but was hidden in a white halo, as if looking at her with sad and pitying eyes, and laughing at her ignorance.
Great despair came over her, and she wanted to get close to the black cloak, to see the face under the cloak, as if there was some secret coming out just by pulling down his cloak. But she couldn't stand on her feet for a while, her body shook, and she fell to the ground.
The white halo in front of him grew louder and louder, and the surrounding sounds gradually returned, and the sea water could be heard rushing loudly, but the black cloak gradually disappeared into the halo.
Jiuli struggled to reach the corner of the man's clothes, but was interrupted by another person's call.
It seemed to be a warm voice that had been heard tens of thousands of years ago, as if it was a voice that could be heard every time in loneliness and despair, the voice was low and magnetic, thick and steady, Jiu Li's trembling body calmed down in that voice, and only heard the voice calling, "Little mermaid." Little mermaid. ”
Jiu Li bowed his head sharply, his waist-length black hair fluttering wildly in the water, and his slender legs replaced the ugly fish tail.
Nope-
This is not the self of childhood. This is not the East China Sea 10,000 years ago.
