Pry the corners
After accompanying the emperor to fight, Chen An chatted leisurely with everyone in the Eternal Pavilion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, every time Chen An came to Yongting, there was nothing to do, and the main purpose of coming was to chat.
It's just that today there is an unexpected surprise of the panacea.
Because it was late autumn, the temperature had already begun to drop, so after chatting for a while, Yonglin asked everyone to enter the Forever Pavilion to find a warm room and continue chatting.
As soon as Chen An sat down, the emperor had already unceremoniously straightened his legs, and then couldn't wait to lie down.
"Bastard, I requisitioned your thighs, no opinions, no opinions."
After the emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes, yesterday he went through Yonglin's laboratory for a night, and this morning when he slipped away, he was discovered by Lingxian again, so she didn't rest for a day, so she took advantage of it to sleep for a while.
Looking at the emperor who fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes on his lap, Chen An shook his head helplessly.
I really can't do anything about this self-contained lively rabbit.
He stroked the emperor's hair lightly, and his tone softened.
"By the way, Kaguya, I've known you for a few months, except for the last time I invited you to the Red Devil Pavilion as a guest, I found that you don't seem to have been out of the Forever Pavilion, isn't it boring to stay here all the time? As far as I can tell, you don't seem to have anything to do but be in a daze. ”
"Bored?"
Kaguya was stunned for a moment, and said with a natural expression.
"It's okay, as long as you get used to it. Isn't it? ”
After speaking, he smiled playfully at Chen An.
"Princess ......"
Kaguya's words silenced Yongrin and Reizen.
"Just get used to it, okay?"
Chen An looked at Kaguya's playful and beautiful smiling face, and couldn't stop chewing on this sentence in his mouth, and his heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Through this indifferent sentence, Chen An seemed to see the life in Kaguya's long life.
Day after day, year after year, day and night, wind and snow, thunder and lightning, they all sat there silently repeating the monotonous and repetitive lonely figure of looking at the distant sky, and what lingered on it was also a deep loneliness that could not be dispersed.
And, can you get used to boredom?
Chen An was deeply skeptical of this sentence, and he knew that when a person said that he was used to being bored, if it wasn't a joke, it would be really sad.
It's so sad that it's unspeakable, it's so sad that you can't help but cry!
Chen An looked at Kaguya for a long time, and suddenly a strange feeling made him twist his face, it was a pain gushing from the bottom of his heart.
He looked at the wall and was silent for a while before he said lightly.
"In that case, then Kaguya you can often go to the Red Devil Pavilion in the future, there are many people there, and even if you don't like to be noisy, there is also Mu Q's library, which has enough books to read for decades."
"Huh, is that okay?"
Yonglin was a little surprised, and she looked at Kaguya eagerly.
"Princess, I think what Chen An said is very right, it's not good for you to stay in the Forever Pavilion every day, it's better for you to listen to him often go out and walk around."
It's not that Yonglin is not calm, it's just that he cares too much about Kaguya.
"This ......"
Kaguya was a little embarrassed, but looking at Yonglin's expectant expression, he looked at Chen An again, and then nodded when he thought of the lively scene of the last banquet.
"Well, I'm going to have to bother a lot from then on."
"Welcome."
Hearing Kaguya's promise, Chen An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the strange feeling in his heart slowly subsided.
"By the way, Chen An, you wait for me."
After chatting for a while, Kaguya suddenly remembered something, she stood up and let me know, and left in a hurry.
"Hey, what are you doing princess?"
Reisen, who was about to serve tea to Kaguya, was a little strange.
"How do I know?"
Chen An shrugged his shoulders and signaled that he didn't know.
Yonglin also took advantage of the night to leave and thanked Chen An.
"Thank you so much."
"Well, what?"
Chen An wondered, did he do something just now? Why did Yonglin thank him?
"Princess."
Yonglin glanced in the direction Kaguya had left and sighed softly.
"In the past, I also wanted the princess to go outside and walk around, but the princess never agreed, saying that there was nowhere to go, and just now you let the princess often go to the Red Devil Pavilion as a guest, thank you so much."
"yes."
Reizen couldn't help but speak.
"The princess stays in the Eternal Pavilion every day, which is really reassuring."
"That's right, Kaguya is a little withdrawn."
Chen An also sighed.
"Seriously, I was really afraid that Kaguya wouldn't agree."
He took a sip of his tea and continued.
"There are a lot of people in the Red Devil Pavilion, so Kaguya often goes around, maybe it can also allow her to make a few more friends and change her withdrawn personality."
"It would be nice if that were the case."
Hearing Chen An's words, Yonglin became a little longing, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face.
"Then the princess will be very happy."
When I think of Kaguya's happy appearance, it's really pleasant for her.
"yes, that's for the best."
Reisen is also looking forward to it.
"Haha, Kaguya is so lucky to have a family like yours!"
Chen An looked at the happy appearance of the two and admired it.
It's so lucky, Kaguya has the care of Reisen and Yonglin, it's really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes.
Ling Xian was a little frightened when she heard Chen An's words, she secretly glanced at Yonglin, whose face remained unchanged, and then knelt down in panic and said in fear.
"I'm just a disciple of the master craftsman, but I don't dare to be the princess's family."
After escaping to the ground, if it weren't for the kindness of Yongrin and Kaguya to take in Reisen, a cowardly deserter who fled from the war, she might not know what would happen now, maybe she would be killed by the youkai of Gensokyo, or maybe she would be captured and executed as a traitor by the people of the Moon City, anyway, there would be no good end.
After all, she was just an ordinary Moon Rabbit with no identity in the Moon Capital, although the master said that she was not talented, but her combat effectiveness at that time was not very strong.
And Kaguya not only took her in, but finally asked Yonglin to accept her as a disciple, although she was only a registered disciple, but this also made her very grateful, you must know that Yonglin was originally a famous sage of the moon in the capital of the moon, how many people want to become her disciple and can't find a chance to do things for her, and she is a weak ordinary moon rabbit can become Yonglin's apprentice, even if it is a registered disciple, but it is really a blessing for three lives.
It is with this deep gratitude that Reisen can be said to be obedient to Kaguya and Yongrin, and she is very dedicated to her work, but she has never regarded herself as a servant of the princess, a disciple of the master craftsman, and has never dared to think of transgression.
Chen An was stunned for a moment, looking at Ling Xian's frightened appearance and a little speechless, this performance is too exaggerated, right?
Doesn't that mean that you and Yonglin Kaguya are a family, why are you so afraid?
Yonglin was also made a little crying and laughing by Lingxian's actions, is she so scary?
She said angrily.
"Don't hurry up, isn't that a joke?"
"Yes, yes."
When Reisen heard this, she hurriedly stood up with a frightened face, and she seemed to be angry when she heard the words of the master craftsman.
"Sit down!"
Yonglin was also speechless when she looked at Ling Xian's performance, and she knocked on the table in frustration.
"I'm telling you to sit up, not to get you up."
"Ah, I'm sorry, Master. It's me who is stupid. ”
Ling Xian began to be scared again, she hurriedly walked to Chen An's side and sat down solemnly, as if she was completing some serious task, her body and ears were straight, and she didn't dare to move.
Chen An glanced at Lingxian, who was sitting next to him like a benchmark, and looked at the depressed Yonglin and teased.
"Haha, Yonglin, it seems that your horror has been deeply rooted in Lingxian's heart."
"Long-winded."
Yonglin glanced at Chen An angrily, and said to Ling Xian angrily.
"Originally, I wanted to accept you as a disciple, but now I look at your stupidity. I'm ashamed of the province. ”
By the way, although Lingxian is a moon rabbit, her talent is very good, and now she can almost be called the strongest moon rabbit, originally Yonglin still wanted to see her accept her as a real disciple, but now it seems-
- This kind of stupidity that makes her embarrassed, let's go cool.
"Ahh How so! ”
When Reizen heard Yonglin's words, her ears jumped in surprise, and then she hung deeply, looking very weak and lost.
She's really stupid, and she can't even stand the master.
Chen An saw that Ling Xian's performance was a little strange.
"What, isn't Lingxian your apprentice Yonglin?"
No way? Haven't you always called Yonglin Master Craftsman?
"yes, it's just a name."
Yonglin replied, and as he spoke, he glared at Lingxian, who was hanging down his rabbit ears and was about to cry when he was lost, and said angrily.
"This stupid person, I originally planned to accept her as an official after a while, but looking at her stupid appearance, it's better to get rid of it."
In fact, a few years ago, she planned to accept Lingxian as an official disciple, but because Kaguya has not been in the mood, it has been delayed until now.
"Gee, that's a shame."
When Chen An saw Yonglin pretending to be angry, he also exclaimed in surprise, and then looked at Yonglin and said with a smile.
"Since you don't want Yonglin, it's better to give me Lingxian, such a beautiful girl, and rabbit ears to take home are more eye-catching."
Yonglin, Reizen: "......"
Chen An's teasing suddenly made Ling Xian come back from her loss, and she blushed and became coquettish.
"Chen An!"
"Like the princess said, you're a flamboyant."
Yonglin also looked at Chen An's smile and was speechless.
She glared at Chen An and didn't give any face.
"But you want to take Reisen away? I don't have a door, and I have been teaching for decades, but what about my future personal apprentice, and like you said, does the family understand? ”
"Ah, don't you mean you don't want to, your face is getting so fast."
Chen An pretended to be depressed and complained, and then stuffed a cup into the hand of Lingxian, who was surprised by Yonglin's words, and poured tea for her.
"You're really stupid, didn't you see Yonglin agree? Why don't you hurry up and salute? What if she repents again? ”
No wonder Yonglin is angry, he can't climb the pole, he is really a fool with no eyesight.
Chen An's words made Ling Xian stunned, she took a deep look at Chen An, and hurriedly knelt beside Yonglin.
"Master craftsman is above, please be worshiped by Lingxian."
Looking at Lingxian, who was kneeling beside him and holding his hands together to respectfully serve tea to him, Yonglin suddenly became depressed.
She glared at Chen An dissatisfied.
"So you're waiting for me here, you're really cunning."
"Gee, don't worry about the details."
Chen An didn't care about Yonglin's depression at all, he touched the emperor's soft rabbit ears and laughed.
"Besides, don't you like Reisen too. It's hard to find such a well-behaved and beautiful apprentice. ”
The more I touch the emperor's ears, the more I want to touch them, and the feel is really good.
"Oh, you're big."
Seeing that Chen An began to flammy again, Yonglin pursed his lips and mocked.
"Do you think I'm you?"
Hmph, why does she want a beautiful female apprentice as a woman?
Although she was a little depressed by Chen Anyin, Yonglin had no intention of repenting, she took the tea in Lingxian's hand and took a sip and said lightly.
"Forget it, although you are a fool, but looking at your dedication to me for so many years, I will reluctantly accept you as an official apprentice today."
"Thank you, Master!"
When Lingxian saw Yonglin agree, he was immediately overjoyed and kowtowed three times.
The long pale pink hair fell on her chest and happy face, adding a touch of femininity.
And looking at Ling Xian's happy and excited appearance, Chen An held his chin and couldn't help but smile and tease.
"Hey, Lingxian, I don't think Yonglin is anything good except for cold spots, why don't you consider coming to the Red Devil Pavilion? I'll warm your bed for you. ”
Ling Xian's face turned red instantly, and her fair and delicate face was covered with a seductive red glow, which looked extremely attractive, so that Chen An began to think about whether to really do it in his heart.
"Shut up, you can't fool my apprentice."
Yonglin was also laughed at by Chen An's naked prying of the corner.
She put the cup down in her hand and struck back.
"Since they all said so, then I think it's better for you to stay in the Forever Pavilion."
"Hey, that's a good idea."
Chen An's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yonglin with a heart-warming look.
"I'll stay, how about you warm my bed for me?"
Yonglin: "......"
Yes, this time she directly teased her, why didn't she find that Chen An was so thick-skinned before?
Yonglin has lived for so long, and she has really never seen someone who is so shameless, so not afraid of death, and dares to tease her!
She breathed for a moment and immediately shouted angrily.
"Don't even think about it!"
"Hey, be quiet, the emperor is still sleeping."
Seeing Yonglin so loud, Chen An was startled and hurriedly raised his finger and motioned for Yonglin to be quiet.
He looked down at the emperor and found that she was still sleeping soundly without being affected, and she was still shaking her ears from time to time, and he was immediately relieved.
He scratched his face and was speechless.
"Isn't it just a joke, do you need to be so excited?"
"Humph!"
Yonglin glanced at Chen An with lilac eyes. Snorted.
"I finally understand why when Patchy came to ask for medicinal herbs, she gritted her teeth every time she mentioned you, you really didn't owe a beating."
"Ahaha, delusion, delusion, I've never molested Mu Q."
Chen An sneered, feeling depressed in his heart, he didn't expect that Mu Q guy to come to the Eternal Pavilion to say bad things about him, it was really unusual.
Just when Chen An was despised and depressed by Yonglin, the long-lost Kaguya finally returned.
Unlike when he left, Kaguya returned to his room with an extra scroll in his hand.
"It's ......"
Reisen looked at the scroll in Kaguya's hand, and her two long ears were almost knotted in surprise, and she stammered.
"Gong ...... Princess, isn't this the scroll in your room? ”
Yonglin was also very surprised when he looked at the scroll in Kaguya's hand, because he knew that Kaguya cherished this painting very much, and he was reluctant to pick it up when he hung it at the head of the bed every day.
If the painting is accidentally touched, it will be furious, but today I actually took it out myself, which is really incredible.
"Hmm."
Kaguya nodded lightly in response, then sat down to arrange the tea set on the table, and carefully opened the scroll.
The scroll looks very old, because the surface of the scroll is already a little yellowed, but it is obviously very well preserved, there is no damage or stain at all, and the scroll is not long, only about half a meter, so it is spread out very completely on the table.
As the reels roll slightly, the contents are gradually revealed.
"This is Kaguya you. And also...... Sister red? ”
Chen An looked at the painting exposed inside and was stunned, because in addition to Kaguya, there was actually a sister red inside!
It was a picture of Meihong and Kaguya playing happily in the courtyard at sunset, which was very beautiful and warm.
Yes, it's very warm, Chen An looked at the bright smiles of Hui Ye and Mei Hong in the painting, and felt a little warm in his heart.
However, after a closer look, Chen An found a very discordant place.
He asked, pointing to a blank space on the painting with some confusion.
"Why is it blank here, because it wasn't painted when it was first drawn?"
That's right, as Chen An said, there is a very discordant place on the warm picture scroll, that is, there is a place in the courtyard corridor in the painting, which destroys the overall beauty of the painting.
It's like a black stain suddenly appearing on a piece of white cloth, which is extremely eye-catching, and it is also extremely uncomfortable to look at.
"I don't know."
To Chen An's surprise, she didn't know about Hui Ye, she bit her lip, and her expression was a little melancholy.
"I only know that Meihong also has a painting that is exactly the same as mine, but it is also blank.
This painting is very important to me, it is the only thing I took with me when I went back to the Moon Capital with Yonglin and later left the moon, but no matter how I recall, I just can't remember who painted this painting for me and my sister Hong. ”
Later, Kaguya gently stroked the blank space on the painting and lost his mind.
She muttered to herself with a blank expression.
"Who the hell is it? It always feels like a very important memory. ”
The atmosphere seemed to become heavy because of Kaguya's blank muttering.
"Sister Hong doesn't know?"
Chen An frowned, for some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, making a soft crunch, and the brisk rhythm that reverberated through the room seemed to dispel the heaviness.
Chen An asked.
"According to you, doesn't Meihong also have a picture like this? Just ask her. ”
"It's useless."
It was Reisen who explained, and she shook her head helplessly.
"The princess actually asked about this, but Mei Hong didn't know either."
Yonglin sighed and put down the cup she had just picked up.
"I think it should have been painted for them by the person who adopted the princess and Meihong when the princess was exiled to the ground, or the princess herself painted it, but it was too long, and the princess herself was not very sure, and she couldn't even remember whether there was an adopter at the beginning, but she always thought that there was such a person.
Later, I went back to the place where the princess lived, but it had been destroyed by a fire, and there was nothing left but ashes. I asked the people around, but it was so long that they didn't know what was going on. ”
"Fire?"
Chen An snapped his fingers, and the brisk rhythm suddenly stopped. He said in surprise.
"It can't be Mei Hong's doing, right?"
He would say this because Mei Hong's ability is to manipulate flames, and listening to Yonglin's words, Mei Hong and Kaguya lived together in the first place.
Looking at that painting, the relationship between the two seems to be very good.
This is strange, since they lived together and had a good relationship, why did they now become like enemies of life and death, and they pinch as soon as they meet?
"Probably."
Kaguya's expression was still a little dazed, her fingers unconsciously swaying the ends of her hair, and she said with some uncertainty.
"Actually, when I lived with my sister Hong, she was just an ordinary human being, and then after I left, she became a Penglai person for some reason, and she also learned to control the flames, which should have been caused at that time."
"Hee-hee, you know, we had a good relationship back then."
Kaguya looked at the surprised Chen An and said something inexplicably, but he blinked his eyes and laughed.
Chen An was silent.
Kaguya was obviously smiling, but for some reason it looked unusually bitter to him.
"Yes, I had a very good relationship with Mei Hong at the beginning."
Kaguya continued to repeat this sentence gently, and even the tips of the hair in her hands were wrapped around her fingers in too many circles, and she didn't notice it, and the smile on her face seemed to become more bitter.
"But...... I don't know why Mei Hong was very hateful to me later, you must know that when we met again, I had a big fight with her. ”
Yonglin nodded when he heard this, you must know that the fierce battle at the beginning almost destroyed the entire Lost Bamboo Forest.
In the end, if it weren't for the help of Huiyin, who lived in the bamboo forest together, and used her ability to hide the history of the entire bamboo forest, this bamboo forest would probably be gone.
"Huh, wouldn't you? Although Mei Hong is a little boyish, she is not an unreasonable person, didn't she explain the reason when she fought with you? ”
"Nope."
"As soon as Meihong saw me at that time, she did something to me like crazy."
The smile on Kaguya's face disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of self-blame, and she remembered how Meihong looked when she met Meihong again.
