Chapter 2: The Father
Her mind ran uncontrollably back to the day her father sent her away. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The rain, like silver-gray sticky spider silk, weaves into a soft web that nets the whole autumn world. The sky was also dark and dreary, like a roof covered with cobwebs. The blades of grass had turned melancholy yellow, and there was not a single fresh flower to be found in the ground.
"Father! What's going on? Why did the Yu Kingdom suddenly attack us? Liu Xunxuan rushed into the conference hall wearing layers of palace clothes, dark worried and nervous.
The door and walls of the council chamber were covered with white bulbous chrysanthemums, and she had no intention of admiring them.
At this moment, it is rare that there is only Emperor Liu Yingkun in the council room.
He sat behind the desk, gently stroking his beard, his face solemn and indifferent. Danfeng eyes, sword star eyebrows, dignified appearance, gentle and elegant. When he saw her come in, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, his eyes showing doting.
"Glazed tiles, vermilion lacquer doors, and the same pedestal, how many kings of the past dynasties have been tied! caused the dynasty to be overthrown, the people were displaced, and the world changed his surname for him! Liu Yingkun sighed deeply, and actually clapped his hands and sang.
Liu Xunxuan was puzzled, and looked at Liu Yingkun fixedly, thinking that his father had gone crazy!
"Father, what's going on? Haven't we always been good friends with Yuguo? Isn't there still a marriage? How can the boat of friendship capsize? β
"Hahaha!" Liu Yingkun laughed lightly, "Chu Wuzhu wants to beat us, it is the reincarnation of cause and effect." What is the specific fuse, I have to hide it from you! β
"Father......" Liu Xunxuan wanted to continue asking, but he didn't want to be quickly interrupted by Liu Yingkun.
"Yu'er, listen to your father's words, you are your father's favorite child, and you must know that my favorite is you this year! Do you understand? Liu Yingkun said in a gentle and loving tone.
Liu Xun's eyes widened suddenly, she wore this body more than a year ago. At that time, this body was already terminally ill, and the soul and primordial spirit had already scattered into the cosmic torrent, but the body had been hanging by the silver needle of the Taiyi Medicine and the thousand-year-old ginseng, retaining a trace of warmth in the chest. She woke up in this body, although she didn't know where she was when she woke up, she clearly knew that she had crossed over, so she only said that she had amnesia and didn't remember anything, but at that time, her father's eyes were full of understanding, just like his eyes at the moment.
"Father's ......" Liu Xunxuan almost cried, ran over and fell on his father's lap, and the emotions in his heart were like a tidal wave overturning the river and the sea.
Although she has only lived in this palace for a year, her father has always had only one daughter, and since she came, her father has never been lucky with any concubine, but only pounced on her, and even abandoned the prince's teachings.
Her father told her many interesting things and taught her many things about this world. In her memory, she was an orphan in the 21st century, grew up in an orphanage, and never experienced what family affection was, but a fire, her original spirit came to this other world, and the first person she saw was her father. The bright and dark eyes, so deep that they almost saw through everything, the kind smile, the soothing of her wounded heart over and over again, the gentle teaching and care, stitched up the hole of her long-missing family affection. I'm afraid there is no one in this world who can be as good as her father!
Liu Yingkun interrupted her thoughts with a loud voice.
"Xuan'er, I know where you came from, but I don't want to send you back," he stretched out his big hand and gently stroked the long hair that fell over his shoulders under Liu Xun's bun. "Still, I can save you from the pain of this country."
"Father?" Liu Xunxuan looked up at Liu Yingkun in confusion, his eyes full of worry.
Liu Yingkun still had that deep smile on his face, and asked with a faint smile: "How about I send you to a place?" You're there, waiting for someone, okay? β
"Father? You're going to send me away? I don't want to go! Although my daughter has only been with you for a year, you are the only father of my daughter in my heart! Don't you send your daughter away, okay? Father! Liu Xunxuan stared in disbelief, and then lay on Liu Yingkun's knee and cried.
How could she leave? She finally realized the feeling of having relatives, she didn't want to, she didn't want to go back to loneliness.
"Remember, don't live in the past, be happy in the happiness of your eyes." Liu Yingkun's magnetic voice echoed in her ears.
"Daughter, don't leave your father! Father! Is it okay for you to walk with your daughter? She looked up at Liu Yingkun with open eyes, tears in her eyes.
"Good girl, the reason why my father is the emperor is that I have been waiting for you! Now I send you away, too, it is providence! Remember, when you get there, you go to the real person in Changjidong, I have something from him, and I leave it for you. Liu Yingkun lowered his eyebrows and looked at the gentle woman lying on his knees, and his big hand gently rubbed her shoulders twitching from crying.
"Father! Is there really no other way? Can't you let your daughter stay with you for two more days? Liu Xunxuan asked with a sob.
Liu Yingkun shook his head lightly and looked at her with a smile, "When the time comes, remember, don't try to unravel chaos and order, because you can't tell the difference." β
Liu Yingkun had just finished speaking, Liu Xunxuan raised her head and only had time to see him smile and make a strange gesture, when she suddenly felt a strong force pressing towards her, only to feel that her body was torn inch by inch and eaten inch by inch, as if there were thousands of ants eating her whole body, and even her eyeballs were being decomposed by that force.
"Ahh She let out a cry of pain.
"When the time comes, remember, don't try to unravel chaos and order, because you can't tell the difference." Liu Yingkun's words still lingered in her ears.
In an instant, she lost consciousness. With a "boom" in front of her, it turned into a large ball of white light, and she felt that she was swimming in that white light, immortal, silent.
I don't know how long I walked, how long I walked, there was no thinking, no time and space, no world, no universe. She has been with the white light day and night, no heartbeat, no breathing.
One day, she only heard a "poof", and then her whole body was cold, and she was so shocked that she subconsciously gasped, but choked on a big mouthful of water.
The white light is still there, but the feeling of falling into the water is so clear. Her instinct for survival forced her to thrash and thrash, and at last she seemed to be lying on the ground. The white light faded and was replaced by darkness, and her consciousness blurred.
Thinking of this, Liu Xunxuan lowered his eyebrows, his eyes were moist, and his eyes were filled with a layer of sad and lonely mist.
Chu Yao has been sitting opposite her and staring at her, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are affectionate, the bridge of her nose is straight, the tip of her nose is slightly upturned, her lips are moist and plump, her face is like a red lotus on the green jade snow mountain, but her temperament is cold, as if she does not belong to this world.
Chu Yao looked at the person in front of him who was deep in thought, and felt a little strange in his heart, obviously she was a teenage girl, why did her eyes reveal a sadness that had experienced vicissitudes? What did she go through to be as calm and calm as she is now? I should have been more wary of her, but I always unconsciously relaxed my vigilance against her.
Retracting his thoughts, Chu Yao cleared his throat, "Ahem, did you remember something?" β
Liu Xunxuan's gaze scattered in the distance retracted and fell on his face, she could clearly feel that there was a pressure on his body similar to that of his father, the kind of momentum that had been in the top position for a long time and held everything in the palm of his hand. Maybe it was this resemblance to her father that made her fearless and sincere to him?
"Are you the royal family of Yu?" Her tone was still light, and she picked up the cup and took a sip of white water.
Chu Yao was startled, raised his eyes to look at her, and frowned slightly. If she is an enemy, she should not reveal that she knows the identity of the other party, which move is she taking?
"I don't want to go around the bend, I have no ill will towards you, I just want to live a simple life, now, can you let me go?" Liu Xunxuan put down the cup and said lightly, "Don't ask me where I come from, I can't explain it." "Don't overdo it.
"Ben Shao is not royal, you guessed wrong. But Ben Shao is the young master of the Qilin Palace, I don't know if you know the Qilin Palace? Chu Yao's brown glass eyes rolled, and he had an idea, and now he made up an identity.
Liu Xunxuan shook his head dumbfoundedly, and a bead hairpin on his head swayed.
Chu Yao smiled intently, and stared at her with a pair of eyes.
"Since you already know so much, including Ben Shao's identity, Ben Shao can't let you go. You have to follow Ben Shao, and Ben Shao doesn't believe what waves you can make under your nose. Chu Yao raised his eyebrows, on the one hand, he was curious about her and wanted to dig out her origins. On the other hand, what surprised him even more was that because of her, he seemed to have less disgust for women.
Liu Xunxuan was still immersed in the grief of losing his father, and he didn't bother to argue with him when he heard him say this.
At this moment, she just wants to hide herself and secretly **** the hurt in her heart.
She looked up and stared at him blankly for a moment.
The starry eyes, the dark brown glass-like eyes, the sword eyebrows that slanted into the sideburns, the straight nose, the handsome face.
Chu Yao reciprocated with a mischievous bright smile. After laughing, he was shocked that something was wrong, and the corners of his mouth stiffened for a moment, and then he slowly and mechanically put down the laughing muscles he raised.
Although Liu Xunxuan was staring at him, his mind was not on his face.
She got up and shook the hem of her skirt and said, "Young master, I'm tired, please take care of yourself." With that, he walked straight to the bed.
Chu Yao's heart is not clear, he is usually wise and martial, and no one's mind wants to escape his eyes, but this time she was stunned. The mood suddenly fell, and seeing that the man was already sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at him waiting for him to leave, Chu Yao snorted coldly and strode out.
As soon as Chu Yao left, Liu Xunxuan took off his shoes and rolled into the couch, covered with a quilt, and tears couldn't stop flowing. In the past few days, she has thought about her father, but she always thought that her father had knocked her out of the imperial city and raised her here. But who knows, what that person said just now directly made her whole body stir.
At that time, the country was broken, the army of Yu rushed into the city, she rushed to her father's side, she only knew that the person who started this war was Chu Wuzhu, the emperor of Yu, and she didn't know anything else. And now she is in the unified Dayu country, and the current emperor is the grandson of Chu Wuzhu? She's going to take care of it. This shows that she is wearing it again! And I took it with me, and I wore it decades later! It's the Father! His gesture, the feeling of the body at that time! It was her father who sent her to this plane! Then the Father! Where is he now? If he can pass through me, he should be able to wear himself?
The more Liu Xunxuan thought about it, the more surprised he became. In the past, she couldn't think of these things, but now that she has worn them several times, she feels that anything is possible.
She sat up violently, and there was only one voice in her heartβI want to find my father! I want to listen to my father's words and find a real person!
Just when Chu Yao and Liu Xunxuan were talking about their life ideals in the house behind closed doors, Cui Zhen, who was sent out, bumped head-on into the leader of the nullah Ming who was guarding the door.
Nullah looked at her with a smile, and there were ten thousand waves surging in his eyes.
"Why are you here? I didn't come and say hello, it scared me! Cui Zhen glanced at the nullah and blamed him as she walked over to him.
"Don't blame me!" Nullah smiled with a smile, "It's the master who said that this is a secret operation, and no one will tell me!" As he spoke, he was holding something in his arms.
"Didn't you even tell me? You and I are people who grew up with our masters, so we should be different from others, right? Cui Zhen pouted dissatisfiedly, "Over the years, the master has sent me to this Xu Jie City, on the surface, he is asking me to deal with the affairs of Xu Jie City, but in fact, he didn't ask me to keep an eye on the movements on the side of Rao Yu Mountain?" Throw me here for eight years! I said many times that I wanted to go back to the palace, but he just wouldn't let me. As soon as I talked about it, he told me to do Tai Chi! Are you saying I'm angry? β
Cui Zhen put her two arms in front of her chest, and an unhappy expression was written on her face.
It took a long time for the nullah to take out a small bag wrapped in red silk cloth from his bosom, and he opened it layer by layer with his rough fingers covered with calluses, only to see a delicate acacia jade hairpin exposed, which looked particularly beautiful against the background of the red silk.
"Alright, don't be angry. Do you think I don't want you back? How long has it been since I've seen you? Why do you lose your temper when you see me? Nullah gently bumped her on the shoulder, and followed carefully, "Look, do you like it?" I saw it on Yudu Street and thought you must look good wearing it, so I bought it! Do you know that I'm the most angry, I never spend money indiscriminately, this is finally spent once, you have to not let me spend it in vain, right? Hehe" Nullah laughed embarrassedly after speaking, and kept handing the red silk to Cuizhen.
Cui Zhen didn't answer, and carefully lowered his head and looked at it for a long time. Only then did he raise his head and ask in surprise, "This is for me?" β
"Or else!" Nullah held her breath, so nervous that she almost closed her breath, but she didn't want to wait for her to say that.
"This is an acacia flower!" Cui Zhen straightened up and said, "This has a special meaning!" You wood! I didn't understand the meaning of this acacia flower and bought it randomly, but I bought it wrong and wasted money, right? This acacia flower is a token between men and women who love each other! I can't take that! Hurry up and put it away, and give it to your daughter-in-law later! Cui Zhen swore an explanation as if nothing happened.
The nullah was wooden, staring at Cui Zhen lightly. After a long time, after discovering that she did not have any gesture of refusal, she exhaled completely depressedly. "Alright then, I'll keep it for now."
It just so happened that after finishing talking here, Chu Yao went out over there. Nullah bowed down to greet him, and his depressed expression immediately changed to seriousness.
"Master." Nullah bowed his head.
Chu Yao held his mouth and muttered, "Call me young master, this is a good title, right?" β
Belch...... Open channel brain blockage.
"Qilin Palace, there is a Qilin Palace missing in the martial arts, you send someone to get one out, be quick! Ben Shao will go around Raoyu Mountain in this capacity! Chu Yao suddenly threw out such a sentence.
The nullah has a black line in the brain, and as soon as the master plays, we will suffer!
The next day, Liu Xunxuan got up early. Unexpectedly, she found that Cui Zhen did not stay in the house to watch her as usual. She walked slowly out of the room, her dark green skirt swaying one by one. Pushing open the door, the sunlight fell in, and it was the first time she had been in contact with the sun in a while.
She seemed to have a smile on her face, a hint of resentment at the corner of her mouth, and her melancholy and lonely eyes were a little more determined. At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the faint sunlight shone on her face, making her calm and gentle.
She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the temperature of the sun, enjoying this rare sunshine.
A wisp of breeze blows on the face, with a faint fragrance of camphor leaves.
Suddenly she felt as if there was hot air faintly scorching her forehead, she was startled, and hurriedly opened her eyes, in front of her was a person's chest, and the moon-white gorgeous brocade was embroidered with low-key cloud dragon dark lines.
When she looked up again, the handsome face of yesterday came into view.
Chu Yao was smiling calmly on his face, staring at her with burning eyes.
"Young master." Liu Xunxuan was a little embarrassed, and cautiously took a step back, avoiding his too close body.
She blessed her body slightly, thinking that she was not a princess now, she just wanted to be an ordinary person, so it was better to lower her eyebrows and be pleasing to her eyes.
But in my heart, I felt that he was so unruly, so close, and unseemly. She couldn't be angry for a while, but she couldn't hold back, so she was docile and humble on the surface, but in fact she said confidently: "Young master, I'm sorry, please let me, you blocked the sunshine of this girl." β
Liu Xunxuan said to himself in his heart: I don't want him to be so close to me, I'm still thinking about how to run away. I'm going to hurry up and find a false name!
"The sun isn't yours, so why don't you go over there and bask in it." Chu Yao raised his hand and pointed to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and grinned, "It's not too early, right?" Can you wash up? Shredded chicken porridge has been prepared there, so let's go ahead of time, okay? He smiled at her, and the bright sunlight on his face made him even more handsome.
Liu Xunxuan instantly felt that he was as dazzling as a god in the nine heavens, and the nobility emanating from his whole body soaked the air around him like a wave. At this time, her stomach seemed to hear the call of breakfast, and she also "gurgling" and singing along.
Taking a deep breath and settling down, she smiled slightly, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, young master, please." β
Chu Yao was very happy when he looked at the person in front of him, he swaggered towards the stone table, shook the corner of his robe and sat down in a very chic posture.
Liu Xunxuan followed behind Chu Yao and slowly walked towards the stone table.
Cui Zhen turned out from behind the bushes at this time, carrying some fruit.
Liu Xunxuan walked to the opposite side of Chu Yao, lifted her skirt, pouted her buttocks, and was about to sit down, "Slow!" Chu Yao snorted, waved his big hand at Liu Xunxuan, and a stream of true qi directly pulled her body back to a standing position, and her strength was just right.
Liu Xunxuan was puzzled, and he didn't know why, and stood there stunned for a while.
"Cui Zhen, go get a soft cushion." Chu Yao didn't pay attention to Liu Xunxuan at all, and only instructed Cui Zhen expressionlessly, and the movement of holding porridge in his hand did not stop.
Cui Zhen seemed to be incredulous, staring at his movements, and only after a while did he react, and while agreeing, he quickly put down the fruit and turned around to get the mat.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the courtyard.
