Chapter 14: Father and Daughter Recognize Each Other
In the early morning of midsummer, the air is unusually cool. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info light song led out of the prison by the mute. Then the mute handed her over to a little eunuch again, and under the long-lost sunshine, the two walked silently on the silent palace road.
Passing through the palace gates, come to a grand hall, hang a plaque on the hall, cursive a few big characters "Qinghua Palace".
Qingge raised his legs and crossed the threshold, and saw that the emperor in bright yellow clothes was already sitting firmly on the golden chair in the center. On the left sits the queen who slowly twists the beads with her eyes down. On a long wooden table on the right side, there is a person wearing an official hat and an official uniform, holding a shocking wood in his hand, which is today's chief judge - Cui Dai. The rest of the people such as Mama, eunuchs, and Yulin Jun stood behind these people.
In the dark corner of the hall, a black curtain obscured a large box more than a man tall. There seemed to be a living creature in the box, swaying a heavy curtain from time to time, ready to come out.
"What's your name?" The emperor on the seat looked relaxed, and asked her as if he was doing homely things.
The opening atmosphere was peaceful, which made Qingge feel a little at ease. The father of this body on the throne has a kind face. He is not confused when he is young, he is slightly blessed, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge, and his facial features are softer due to slight wrinkles. It's not majestic, but it's dignified.
"My name is Qingge," she replied in a clear voice.
"Presumptuous! dared to talk back to the emperor without title...... "The queen on the side, from the moment she entered the door, she used her eyes to carry out all kinds of provocations and tricks. As soon as Qingge said a word, she seemed to be on fire. It's just that before she finished speaking, as soon as the emperor raised her hand, she was silent.
Qingge was surprised, this is too well-trained, right?
"Light song?" The emperor muttered, and then asked, "Who gave you this name?" ”
"My mother."
"Who is your mother?" The emperor asked again.
"Su Yuyu."
"And who is your father?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through her.
"I don't know. Since I was a child, I have lived in a cold palace with my mother and have never seen my father. Qingge's lips trembled slightly, looking pitiful.
"Your mother never spoke of me?" The emperor's face sank.
Qingge's eyes rolled, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, saying that he had mentioned it, and if the emperor asked what he mentioned, he wouldn't be able to answer. said that he hadn't mentioned it, and whether this princess still wanted to be a princess or not.
After thinking for a moment, the slender fingers reached out to the hair, and the golden beetle Gu on the head was removed, and the green silk like a waterfall flowed downstream, and it was softly draped on the shoulders, and the whole person was even more petite and gentle, and said: "Mother has never mentioned it to me, but she always looks at this gem obsessively, and she can't stop crying. ”
"Son-in-law." The emperor looked at the light song in a daze, and his eyes suddenly became hot. It's not like a father's love for his daughter, it's more like a ...... He wouldn't think of himself as a concubine.
She hurriedly held the Golden Turtle Gu in the palm of her hand, and walked in the direction of the emperor step by step, wanting to remind the emperor that she was a light song, not a concubine. "That's what my mother left me, and she said it would take me to my father."
Ever since she had taken it from Meng Bai yesterday, the Gu worm had been dead, its legs curled up, motionless, and it seemed to have stiffened. At one point, she thought it might be just an ornament. The closer he got to the emperor at this moment, the insect's foot seemed to move slightly. Qingge raised his hands above his head and dedicated it to the emperor who was sitting high.
The emperor's gaze touched the glittering insect Gu. I saw that it struggled on several legs and feet, turned over, and flew towards the emperor. landed on the emperor's arm, looking for the mother Gu.
"This is indeed the Golden Turtle Gu I gave to my concubine. This sub-Gu has been sleeping for many years away from the mother Gu, and now it has woken up again. "The Emperor came to his senses. looked at Qingge with a happy face.
"This Gu is buried in the concubine's body, how can you get it?" The queen asked coldly. The dignified king of a country actually used the indiscriminate means of Gu to control women, which made the queen's face dull.
Qingge was stunned, Mengbai didn't tell her how she got this thing. Unexpectedly, it was in the body of the concubine.
"You said that the concubine looked at this Gu and cried every day, she was obviously lying."
Qingge was taken aback, it turned out that the queen had already seen through her. Looking at the emperor again, although he was not angry, he was still waiting for her answer.
Qingge raised her eyebrows and said to the queen: "Isn't the queen mother the most aware when she is not in the concubine's body, wasn't the queen mother digging up the grave a few days ago?"
The queen was so choked that she couldn't speak.
"How?" The emperor also looked at the queen and asked coldly.
Qingge looked at the emperor with an indifferent face, and there was no expression of surprise at all. must have known about the queen's grave digging for a long time, but he did nothing, and instantly felt that his feelings for his concubine were just coy.
"Not yet." The queen lowered her head and looked at the silk handkerchief in her hand and said. She didn't dare to tell the story of the robbery. Because she never found out who did it.
"That's it, the concubine is the daughter of the Heavenly Spirit, she can lead a hundred beasts, and she is just a golden beetle Gu, so what's the difficulty." The Emperor muttered to himself. This Golden Turtle Gu is made of green golden turtles, and those who are in the Gu will lose their minds and only want to stay with the person who has the Mother Gu. Back then, he was also forced to use such a method to control his concubine. Perhaps, the concubine has been able to unravel this Gu, or maybe she stays here because she still has love for him.
Qingge felt firmly in his heart that this parent knew that he was inseparable, but he secretly felt worthless for his mother. The two people sitting on the throne were well-dressed and charitable. In his heart, he is like a leech in a dark crypt, dark and greedy, which makes people despised.
"Since the daughter of the heavenly spirit can lead a hundred beasts. The best way to prove this is for her to harness the beast. ”
The silk handkerchief in the queen's hand waved. Two little eunuchs stood beside the tall cabinet in the corner, tearing down the black curtain.
The huge golden cage shone brightly, and inside the cage lay a snow-white ...... exuding a powerful aura The wolf, with blue eyes, was staring at her coldly.
It turns out that this is the highlight of the day. The daughter of the heavenly spirit can control the beast This is a saying that has been handed down from ancient times, and the legend says that the daughter of the heavenly spirit can use spells and a hundred ** flows, and can also control the behavior of the beast. After several generations of reproduction, few people have ever really confirmed this. This is an impossible task for the fake light song. How could she know those spells, not to mention that they might have been lost long ago.
The purpose of this is very simple, what they want is not a princess, but just the daughter of the heavenly spirit. Even if it's the daughter of a concubine. Without the divine power of the Lady of the Heavenly Spirit, it is useless to them. If they did die at the hands of the beasts, it would be a good solution for them.
Such a cruel way of recognizing relatives made Qingge sneer in his heart. Look at the so-called father on the throne. He was looking down and stroking the Golden Beetle Gu, not looking at her or speaking, obviously acquiescing to this vicious plan.
The little eunuch on the side threw a live chicken into it. In just a moment, the snow-white and vigorous wolf jumped up and bit the throat of the chicken, and the chicken stopped moving in an instant. Like a killer with a single sword. It held its head high, the chicken in its mouth, and still stared coldly at Qingge. Seems to be ...... Provoke her.
