Chapter 73: Visit the Xian Wang's Mansion
The glazed tile roof, the vermilion lacquer gate, and the top of the plaque hanging black lacquered nanmu.
Mo Qingyan raised his hand to cover the dazzling sunlight, and looked at the three big characters depicted in gold paint on the plaque, Xianwang Mansion.
The vermilion gate creaked open, and a group of people hurried out inside.
The person who walked in the forefront was none other than King Yoohyun himself.
"The people don't know the owner of the village, there are many slack, the owner of the village, madam, please come in quickly."
King Liu Xian welcomed the two of them in, but there was no prince at all. led the two into the hall, cordially greeted the two of them and took a second look at Mo Qingyan, Su Ye coughed dryly, naturally seeing his expression.
King Liu Xian hurriedly looked away, and he was even more sorry for his successive gaffes. Fortunately, the maid came in with tea, so he found an opportunity to ask, "Why did the owner of the village suddenly visit the office today?" ”
Su Ye has always disliked having a lot to do with people in the DPRK and China, but today he actually came to the mansion in person, and he couldn't help but guess a few points in his heart.
Su Ye didn't reply immediately, but turned to look at Mo Qingyan who was sitting beside him. Seeing her nodding, he raised his hand to take the scroll handed over by Su'er.
"This Painting"
"Lord Wang, you gave this painting to my wife, and today you should know why we are here, right?"
Looking at the picture scroll in Su Ye's hand, King Liu Xian's expression changed slightly, so that everyone could see that there was a hint of joy in his expression.
At this moment, his heart surged with excitement and excitement, when he handed over this scroll to Mo Qingyan, he made a bet with himself, if he bet right, then he would definitely be able to see this painting.
Now Mo Qingyan came to him with a painting. It shows that all his guesses are right, Mo Qingyan is Shen Qingyan, and she is Youlan's daughter. She really didn't die.
King Liu Xian waved his hand and retreated, and then said: "Since the two of you have guessed my intentions, then I have nothing to hide, but please believe in this king, this king has no malicious intentions, and only I know about this matter." ”
"Since King Liu Xian would say so. That means I guessed right, you really suspected it a long time ago? But I'm curious, why didn't you just debunk me in the first place? ”
"This king just thinks that even if he says this, it will not benefit me at all. Why should I meddle in my own affairs, and offend the owner of the village. ”
"Really? I have never heard that King Liu Xian, who has always been honest and honest, will also have scruples," Mo Qingyan looked at the person in the seat with sharp eyes.
Seeing those eyes, King Liu Xian only felt a coolness seeping in, as if as long as he looked at those eyes, she could see everything.
Mo Qingyan suddenly retracted his gaze. asked: "Lord Wang, please forgive Qingyan for being presumptuous." I didn't mean anything else, Qingyan was just curious why the prince had a portrait of my mother? ”
Hearing this, King Liu Xian's heart calmed down slightly, obviously expecting her to ask this question. But before he could say anything, Mo Qingyan said again: "Do you know that this is the first time I have been able to see my mother's appearance?" If I hadn't recognized it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that the person in this painting was my mother. ”
"What? How so? ”
King Liu Xian looked at her in astonishment, but saw that her face was firm, not like she was lying.
"Just look at the way the prince looks, you can know how surprised you are. But there are many things that will surprise you even more. Does the prince know why Qingyan fled from the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"Isn't it because of the four princes?"
"Yes and no. It's not so much that I'm going to run away from marriage, but that I'm just going to run away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter what kind of person the Four Princes are, I believe that as long as I enter the Four Princes' Mansion, my fate will be a thousand times better than when I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mo Qingyan's deep black pupils rippled faintly. What she said was naturally not her true thoughts, but she remembered all the things that Shen Qingyan had experienced before her death, and she only felt that creation made people.
If Shen Qingyan could survive until the day of marriage, her fate would be different, after all, the real owner there is Su Ye, no matter how cold-blooded he is, it is impossible to be too much for his wife who has passed the door, at least she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, she asked again, "Have you seen me for so many years?" ”
"The last time Mrs. entered the palace with the owner of the village, it was the first time this king saw his wife."
"Then does the prince know why I never appeared when I was in the Shen Mansion?"
"This king has also heard the princess talk about it, and the Shen Mansion has always claimed that Mrs. has been withdrawn since she was a child and is unwilling to participate in such occasions, so she is right"
"So, you all believed?" Mo Qingyan sneered, and the corners of her lips showed a hint of ridicule. I can't help but admire Shen Qiuyang's efforts in front of outsiders.
"If Qing Yan lived better in the Shen Mansion, he would not have done such a rebellious thing as running away from marriage, when my mother died, I was handed over to him, the prince should not have imagined, how did I rely on other people's leftovers to feed me one bite at a time, right?"
"This, how is that possible? Even if Shen Qiuyang goes too far, he won't do it like this? He's your father, even more so back then."
"Huh, father? Maybe in front of Shen Caiyun and Shen Caixuan, he is indeed a good father, and I, in the Shen family, is the one he hates and avoids the most. Last time at the palace banquet, I bet he wouldn't recognize me, and sure enough, I was right, how could he believe that I was like a little beggar when I was in the Shen Mansion suddenly became like this? ”
King Liu Xian listened to the heart-wrenching, his face was solemn, that man was so sworn to propose marriage in front of the palace, he cherished Youlan so much, but why was he so cruel to her children?
Looking at King Liu Xian, who was frowning deeply, Mo Qingyan became more and more curious about what happened back then. She sighed softly, as if caught up in a memory.
"Qing Yan was thinking, if there was no marriage decree back then, how long would it take for you to see your heart for your mother?"
"Mrs. Shu" Liu Xian Wang looked up at her fiercely, with a look of astonishment.
"Doesn't the prince still refuse to admit that you also liked your mother back then?"
"Me, I"
Seeing his slugging appearance, Mo Qingyan slowly got up and walked in front of him, her voice with a faint sadness.
"The prince shouldn't know yet, right? The last words left by my mother before she died were to you, she said that she was destined to miss you in this life, and she must wait for you in the next life to be your wife. ”
Mo Qingyan said, seeing the man in front of him frozen there, his eyes were faintly red, and his clenched fists could see how tormented he was at this moment.
She turned back to sit down beside Su Ye, and said no more, she knew that her purpose had been achieved.
"Yan'er" held her hand worriedly, and used his warm palm to convey warmth to her. Although he now knew that the previous encounters in the Shen Mansion were only Shen Qingyan and not his Yan'er, he was still very distressed when he heard her say this.
"Don't worry"
Mo Qingyan smiled faintly and held his hand back.
At this time, the man in the seat suddenly spoke, as if he was whispering, but it was enough for the two of them to hear clearly.
"It was my cowardice that hurt her back then, if I had been braver, if I hadn't had so many scruples, Youlan wouldn't have married that person, and she wouldn't have done it early."
King Liu Xian got up slowly, his steps heavy. The misty eyes looked out the door, as if returning to that sunny day.
That day he rode by, and saw the woman who was at a loss with a paper kite not far away, she attracted him like a magic force, took the paper kite in her hand, and helped her fly, and saw the paper kite rising higher and higher, she was very happy, she smiled, the voice was as crisp as a silver bell, and her smile was like a ray of sunshine filling his whole life.
But that smile can only stay in memories (to be continued......
