Chapter 1 After all, it's not time for the flowers to bloom
The author of the third volume: Xu Weixian, related other works "Seduction of Love Immortals" and "Several Generations of Enchanting Appearance"
As the sun set late, the storyteller saw that the people listening to the book were gradually dispersed, so he got up and touched the withered peach tree behind him, and said, "Ruojing, I have already told many long stories here, do you like it?"
He was still as silent as ever.
"Ruojing, you like it very much, don't you? I said I would tell you many, many stories. Today's story has been told, how about coming back tomorrow?" A thick longing appeared in his eyes, and his hand carefully touched the peach tree, as if he was touching a rare treasure at some time.
He had always known that no matter how many times he asked, he would not get a single answer from her, but he kept asking over and over again, and he thought that one day, she would always answer him.
The storyteller smiled wryly, cleared the table, and prepared to return to his lodgings.
"Blue Emperor?" At this time, a soft call came from behind him.
"Are you?" the storyteller was first startled when he saw the woman in purple, with skin better than snow and beautiful beauty.
"My name is Xu Liyin. The purple-clothed woman replied with a far-fetched smile on the corner of her mouth.
"You're not ......"
"Yes, I am the princess of the former dynasty. Seeing the surprise in the storyteller's eyes, Xu Liyin interrupted him again.
"How did you become like this?" the storyteller looked at Xu Liyin in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Huh...... What does it look like? Half-human, half-demon? Emperor Qing, you know, a mortal who eats the demon fruit will become like me. Xu Liyin's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she said in a choked voice.
"Yes, I know, but didn't you disappear on the way to get married?" the storyteller nodded, feeling that there was something hidden in the matter.
"Yes, Emperor Qing, have you seen the snow-capped mountains over there?" Xu Liyin gently wiped away her tears, did not answer the storyteller's words, but stretched out her hand and pointed to the distance behind the storyteller.
There, there is a thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain that mortals can't climb.
"Well, what?" the storyteller asked, looking at the snow-capped mountain, nodding again.
"The one I love to the bone marrow sleeps there. Xu Liyin's eyes gradually revealed a strong affection, and the ankle-length black hair fluttered gently with the breeze.
"There? It's a thousand-year-old snow-capped mountain, mortals can't go up, and even if demons and immortals go up, they basically can't go down." The storyteller shook his head and said.
"Emperor Qing, how about I stay with you for a few days?" Xu Liyin smiled, looked at the storyteller's face, and asked.
"Miss Riyin, you should know my rules. The storyteller raised an eyebrow, and then said.
"Understand, I tell you all the stories I told him. Xu Liyin nodded, her eyes lowered.
"Alright, come with me. The storyteller was the first to leave.
Xu Liyin turned her head, looked at the peach tree, and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance with infinite affection: "Yaochu, how long will you wait for me? I want to tell the world the story of you and me, and I want everyone to know everything about you and me." ”
The tone was gentle, and it seemed that with the sudden breeze, she floated straight to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and brought her lovesickness to him......
"Sit down and have tea. Entering the house, the storyteller poured Xu Liyin a cup of tea and said.
"I'll start telling you. Xu Liyin shook her head with a faint smile, just staring at the steaming teacup, and said.
"It's fine. The storyteller was stunned, then nodded in agreement.
"His name is Bai Yaochu......" Xu Liyin looked out the window and was about to start talking.
Her thoughts flew into her memory like a swallow that had just flown away from the eaves......
It was a spring day she will never forget, and the imperial garden of the palace was full of flowers and her favorite pear blossom.
The pieces are white, and the flowers are pure.
At that time, she was still an innocent little girl, yes, the twelve or thirteen-year-old years old was the happiest time in her life.
She is not the princess most favored by her father, but a princess who has been ignored since she was born.
Because her mother-in-law is just a little Jieyu, and because her mother-in-law does not have any family background and backers, her mother-in-law is a person who does not fight or rob, although it seems to be incompatible with the palace, but she is the longest-lived person in this palace of intrigue.
In the second year after she lost her mother, when she was thirteen years old, she met Bai Yaochu, who made her lose her heart in an instant, in this imperial garden.
Xu Liyin is a very lazy person, she hid under the pear blossom tree that day and was sleepy, but who would have thought that a melodious and tactful piano sound came from not far away.
She had never heard such a beautiful sound, because when she closed her eyes and listened to it, it was as if she had forgotten everything but peace.
Xu Liyin opened her eyes, brushed the pear blossoms off her face, and stood up to find the source of the piano sound.
Finally, behind a rockery, she saw him on the other side of the river stroking the piano for her father, dressed in white, with picturesque eyebrows, a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, and his bony hands constantly plucking the strings.
Xu Liyin only felt at that time that there was no man as good-looking as him in the world, right?
She seemed to be fascinated, so she hid behind the rockery and listened to his piano all the time.
Maybe her gaze was too hot, which attracted him on the other side of the river to look over, but with this shallow glance, Xu Liyin's heart instantly seemed to be filled with something, and she couldn't calm down anymore.
The heart of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old is always so easy to sprout.
However, she didn't know at the time that it was the gentle pair of looks on the riverside that made her fall into his star-like eyes all her life, and she could no longer wake up.
"Baiqin Master, why did you stop?" At this time, Xu Liyin heard some displeasure in her father's loud voice.
Her heart couldn't help but worry about the man, her father was notoriously moody, and if she were angry with him, he might not survive.
"Father......" Xu Liyin stood up from behind the rockery and ran to her familiar and unfamiliar father. That was the first time Xu Liyin called her father, because in the past, she had always hid behind her mother and didn't dare to look at him at all.
"Are you?" Not surprisingly, her father just frowned, unable to remember who she was.
"Father...... Father, I am Meng Jieyu's daughter. Xu Liyin clenched her fists and mustered up the courage to meet the emperor's sharp gaze.
At that time, she was just a child, and she never knew what bravery was, but because of the man who played the piano, she had courage for the first time.
"Meng Jieyu, are you Liyin?" the emperor frowned and thought for a while, and finally remembered, but his eyebrows were full of surprise.
Perhaps, his previous impression of this daughter was all synonymous with cowardice and timidity, but now Xu Liyin, who dared to meet his gaze like this, made him unbelievable.
"Father, don't blame him, I disturbed him to play the piano for you. Xu Liyin bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said.
At that time, the tip of her nose was full of the fragrance of pear blossoms on his body beside her.
She had learned to be brave for her, and she turned her head to look at him quietly, only to find him looking at her with a smile in his eyes, a meaning she didn't understand at the time.
However, she fell again, this time she really couldn't extricate herself, from the glance he looked at each other on the riverside, from the smile that looked at each other.
After all, he let her young and fragile heart sink at that time.
