Chapter 58-1: Paper Harrier (I)
In the carriage, Xiaohong held my broken hair and burst into tears. I persuaded a few words, but I couldn't persuade her, so I asked for her surname. She sobbed and untied the strap from her hair, tied the broken hair, braided it into a thick braid, took it in her hand and looked around, I didn't know where to put it, I pointed to the brocade box given by King Jing, and said softly: "Put it there." ”
Xiaohong opened the lid of the brocade box and put the braid into the box, I saw the copper mirror in the box, took the brocade box, and gently stroked the copper mirror with my fingers, and my eyes were slightly hot. Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng, I can say that I can see you again, it's so good...... "Sister, don't be sad, your hair will grow again." Seeing my sad expression, Xiaohong quickly wiped away the tears on her face and comforted.
Silly girl, are you here for me to break my hair? I smiled, closed the lid on the box, and said softly, "Let the guards drive the car slowly, and wait for the people behind." ”
"Waiting for whom?" Xiaohong opened the curtain in surprise, "Is there anyone behind?" ”
"It's coming." I put the brocade box to the side and said lightly. The little red fox looked at me suspiciously, didn't ask any more, and lifted the curtain to make Yun Qian slow down. The carriage paced slowly down the street, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind, and after a while, Ouray was heard saying loudly outside the carriage: "Oulei has come with his sister to make amends to Madame, please see Madame." ”
I smiled slightly, Xiaohong frowned angrily, and was about to make a move, I held her hand, shook my head gently, and motioned for her to lift the curtain. Xiaohong held back her anger, and lifted the curtain with an unkind face, and I saw Uray holding Qiqige's hand and standing in front of him, Ulei's face was serious, and Qiqige's face was flushed, ashamed and annoyed. There were passers-by on both sides of the street, and many people had stopped to watch, I looked around, and remembered that the wine shop in Momiji was deep in the alley around the corner in front of me, and smiled faintly: "The market is noisy, and the concubine is waiting for the two highnesses in the wine shop of the boss of Momiji." ”
When I entered the wine shop, the red leaves welcomed me into my box, and without the help of the Nine Kings, the red leaves were much lighter. I saw that her face was haggard, and I must have known the rumors that the Ninth Master was crazy, and it was not good to talk to her in detail at this time, because Ou Lei had already grabbed her and came in. Seeing the situation, Momiji knew that it was inconvenient to stay, so he lightly exited the box and closed the door. I looked at Ouray and said gently, "Your Highnesses, please take a seat." ”
But Ouray did not sit down, staring at me with a hint of reluctance, remorse and questioning, why did he use such a decisive way? I smiled faintly and calmly met his gaze, which is the best way to go, isn't it? Uray took a deep breath: "The housesister is rude, Mrs. Tangtu, it is a big mistake, Wulei has no way to discipline her, so he specially brought the house-sister to ask Mrs. for guilt!" ”
After speaking, he pushed his character: "Bao'er, don't make amends to Mrs. yet!" ”
Qiqige was pushed forward by him, although her face was embarrassed, but her eyes were still unruly, although there was unbelievable shock in her eyes when she first saw my broken hair, there was not much remorse in her eyes at the moment. I smiled: "His Royal Highness the prince is too polite, Princess Qige is still young, her surname is straightforward, and it is understandable to be reckless for a while, how can the concubine bear to blame Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
Ouray's face did not change for the better because I excused him, and he spoke in a warning voice: "His character! ”
Qi Qige's face turned a little pale, Uray didn't call her by her nickname, she should know that she couldn't disobey Ulei anymore, gritted her teeth and glared at me: "I'm sorry! ”
I smiled slightly, looked at his reluctant expression of apology, and said softly: "The princess seems to have some misunderstanding about the concubine?" It's better to admit frankly, if the concubine really has something to rude to the princess, she will make amends to the princess. ”
His face turned red into a tomato, and he turned his face away from me. I didn't force her, I just smiled at Ulei: "Your Royal Highness, please sit down, the concubine still has something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Ouray's gaze has been quietly fixed on my face, and when I heard this, the corners of my lips moved slightly: "If it weren't for the return of Danny's brothers and sisters, I'm afraid that Madame wouldn't want to see Ouray again, right?" ”
My smile froze slightly: "His Royal Highness the Prince is serious. The concubine is not a person who does not distinguish between public and private, how can she be angry with others casually. When it was said that on the grassland, His Royal Highness the Prince had prudently promised that the concubine had always believed that His Royal Highness was a trustworthy person, and there was no misunderstanding of His Highness. "Urey had promised me to win my favor in a way I admired, and he was not overly arrogant on that point. I am different from my previous identity, I am no longer an ordinary folk girl he can see casually, he can't get close to me to ask the emperor for marriage, and he didn't act out of line after being refused, although most of the reasons may be that he can't afford to offend the Yun family, but he said that he gave gifts, several invitations, and after I refused, he was ridiculed and still indomitable, and this persistence has far surpassed many empty eyes of the prince and grandson. I sighed lightly: "It's just that the fate between the concubine and His Royal Highness is too shallow, and I really can't force it." ”
Ulei's gaze gradually softened, the love in his eyes had receded, and he brought admiration and admiration: "Madame is the only woman who Uray has seen in his life, and his surname is the most affectionate, not everyone has this kind of luck, and he can meet a strange woman like you in his life." Uray has repeatedly insisted before, but he looks down on Madame, a woman like you needs a great man with amazing talent to match. It is a great blessing for Urey to be able to meet his wife, if he can be a confidant and good friend, why should he be trapped in the love of men and women? Madame, please rest assured, from now on, Ouray will never think about anything more than that! ”
He finally figured it out. I exhaled deeply, my mood suddenly became extremely relaxed, and my eyes and smile naturally became kind: "Your Highness has a good reputation, you are a concubine, Your Highness is the overlord of the grassland, and there will be a woman who is more worthy of Your Highness's love to be with you." ”
Ouray just smiled at my polite words, pulled Qiqi and sat down, and said with a smile: "Ouray has a sincere fellowship with Madame, and Madame doesn't need to say these polite words to Ulei, is Madame worried about the Danny brothers and sisters returning to China with me?" ”
"Indeed." I nodded, and I was no longer polite to him, "The Danny brothers and sisters insisted on returning to China with His Royal Highness, and the concubine was very worried......" Before the words were finished, there was a sudden "poof" sound outside the window, and there seemed to be a dark shadow beating the window, Uray was startled, rushed to the window, and opened the window suddenly, a white bird rushed in, fluttering its wings around the box, only to hear Qiqige exclaim: "Paper Harrier? ”
Paper Harrier? I looked at the fluttering white bird, some like an eagle, but smaller than an eagle, only as big as a carrier pigeon. When Ouray saw the bird, his face was a little serious, he stretched out his hand, and let out a few crisp and rapid birdsong from his mouth, and the bird heard the birdsong of Oulei, circled for a while, and then stopped firmly on Oulei's hand. Then, strange things happened, and the living bird turned into a paper folded bird in Ourey's hand.
I was still in shock, and Qiqige had already rushed to Wu Lei's side, and said hurriedly: "Third brother, let's see what happened?" ”
Uray opened the paper bird with a solemn face, read the words on the paper, and the more he looked at it, the more his face sank, and after a while, he clenched his fist, squeezed the paper in his palm, and said to me: "Mrs. Ronghua, you can rest assured that the Danny brothers and sisters will return to China, they will not have any trouble." ”
"Why?" I had a gut feeling that it must have something to do with the note in his hand. Ouray hesitated for a moment and handed me the note: "A few days ago, the Marti tribe migrated to a grassland near the border of the Chenxing Country, and was robbed by the bandits of the Chenxing Country, and almost half of the people were killed by the bandits, and the patriarch's entire family was not spared...... has disappeared from the steppe. ”
I spread out the note in shock, and when I saw that what Ouray said was true, I was still a little suspicious in my heart, and said apprehensively: "Aren't the Marti tribes a fierce tribe on the steppe?" How could a half-clan be wiped out by a gang of bandits? Is this news reliable? ”
"It's definitely not going to be fake." Ouray looked at the note in my hand, although there was also incredulity in his eyes, but it was more of a convicted anger, "This is a paper harrier, a forbidden spell used by our shaman witch to convey information in case of emergency state affairs. The shrine maiden uses her spiritual power to turn the paper into a paper harrier, and during her flight to find someone, she must use witchcraft to protect it all the time so that it can quickly and accurately find the recipient. Therefore, this spell has a great depletion of the witch's spiritual power, and it will never be used unless it is a last resort, and it is impossible for the witch to use a paper harrier to deliver false news. ”
