Chapter One Hundred and Nine: Return
The Royal Palace, the majestic Great Castle, sits in the westernmost part of the country's capital. There is a circular plaza directly in front of it, and you can't approach it at will within the innermost ring.
When Xu Qinglong finally stood in front of the castle, he felt that the distance between her and the castle was farther than the square and those guards combined.
This castle, which she used to be so familiar with, had her room, her books, her clothes, her pets, and her highness
Pet ah yes, she is the pet of His Highness, she cannot speak loudly, she cannot be sad and angry, she cannot stride forward, she cannot approach people other than Her Highness, she cannot wear clothes that His Highness does not like, she cannot use incense that His Highness does not like, and she cannot eat food that His Highness does not like. Her Highness's favorite qiē is what she likes. followed His Highness every step of the way, and when His Highness didn't need her, she could only stay in the room by herself, draw according to His Highness's words, and read the books His Highness asked her to read.
For these, Xu Qinglong thinks about it now, and there is no trace of resentment, because she is doing really well. During those sixty years, she had a particularly good life. Her whole life is only for one highness, and she is very happy. Her Royal Highness has always been satisfied, happily making a little pet.
However, this qiē was built on the fact that she never had a family
If she only knew that there was a way to live by His Highness's side in the world, then no matter how many times she lived, she would be happy. But she has seen a more complete and colorful world, she has a family, their love and care for her, education and training, all of which make her fascinated by the world outside His Highness.
It also made her understand that as a human being, she was treated like a pet. How unbearable it is. Grandpa said freedom, His Royal Highness did not give her the slightest. Every inch of her blood and bones was shaped by His Highness. Although His Royal Highness positioned her as a pet, she was like a daughter who was raised strictly by His Royal Highness according to her own preferences, and the princess in the palace did not have a good life with her. Her clothes are the best-looking. Her gems are the largest and most beautiful, and His Royal Highness has carefully nurtured her, put her in the palm of his isolated hand, and raised her.
Xu Qinglong's sadness, or the reason why she regained her memory, was because she understood that she could no longer return to His Highness, and she could not become the Nina of the past. When she returned to Her Highness, she had a family she liked, she had the world she wanted to know, she understood the meaning of freedom, she began to become greedy, she couldn't be a pet in that royal court anymore
She used to regard His Highness as all she had in her life, and she lived only for His Highness. Now, she can't even do it, she's changed.
Xu Qinglong remembered. In the more than a year that she was in the Xu family, she would always think of what His Royal Highness said. She thought that she was just thinking about His Highness, but it was actually not a simple thought, but a new thought to resist His Highness's thoughts. New ideas are refining her and making her change little by little
Sadly. She doesn't regret it. She has already walked out of the world of Her Highness, and she can't go back
Xu Qinglong faced the castle, slowly knelt down, and then bowed down deeply and reverently, his forehead pressed against the ground. Thank you, thank you for 60 years of perseverance, thank you for your upbringing, thank you for your respect and love, thank you
I will be back. Xu Qinglong stood up and looked at the big castle with burning eyes, she will definitely come back, when she also conquers the outside world, she will come back and reunite with His Highness, even if this reunion belongs to her alone. She will retort to His Highness, "There will be no man-eating weed eating man-eating grass on the road outside", even if she can no longer be with His Highness, even if she becomes a stranger, even if she becomes a commoner in another country, even if it is just a public meeting
At sunset, the big castle seems to be coated with a layer of gold, and it is magnificent like a fairyland city. Xu Qinglong took one last look, then turned around resolutely, smiled, and walked forward gracefully and calmly, towards her mother, who had been waiting for her in the distance. Watch it, watch me well, one day, I'll be back!! Not as a pet Nina, but Xu Qinglong, to see His Highness
Xu Shantong didn't know why her daughter would come to this small country, but she could feel that her daughter had changed, becoming more dazzling, and she had a strong sense of aggression all over her body. Xu Shantong knew that her daughter was domineering, but her previous daughter would not show her appearance, just like a jewel covered with a scarf, and the light was misty. Now, the scarf is gone, the dazzling brilliance of the orb is dazzling, and the flight along the way, everywhere the daughter goes, is the focus of all eyes and attention, and all the gazes are pressed by the daughter, and she dare not look directly
However, Xu Shantong doesn't really care about these, her daughter has changed, and she is also a daughter, as long as she is healthy. However, Xu Shantong looked at the big castle in front of him, isn't this the castle that his daughter once painted? Daughter pulled here before? But how do you know what the inside of the castle looks like? This country seems to be feudal, and this castle is not the kind where you can go in and sightsee
Then, on the last day of his stay in this country, Xu Shantong followed his daughter to a ruin. The country takes their religion very seriously, and every temple is well built. Only this ruin, although it has also been protected, has not been restored, and the damage is still there. No one cares, as long as you don't destroy, you can go in and out casually.
Xu Shantong took the translated materials and learned that this relic was burned by the heavenly fire more than a hundred years ago, which was similar to divine punishment, so no one came to repair it. It was also a forbidden place for the royal family, but it was not demolished because the statues in the ruins were still intact. But the only people who come here are tourists.
Then Xu Shantong watched her daughter come behind the statue, punched down, and made a small hole, is it considered destruction? Xu Shantong hurriedly covered her daughter, and then saw the child put his hand into the small hole and took out a small gold ball
There is a rule in this country that the treasures and antiques found can be privately owned, and foreigners can also do it. After Xu Shantong heard her daughter say this regulation, she didn't say a word and took her daughter and the little golden ball. I went to the local government
Then in order to leave with this little golden ball along with him, they delayed for another day for the formalities. Eaten all over the country's cuisine. It is indeed a holy place for tourism and vacation. However, Xu Shantong was also worried that their mother and daughter would be arrested by the soldiers and police who suddenly appeared, because the idol was punched by the child and punched a hole, and destroying the idol was a violation of the laws of this country, but the daughter smiled and comforted her and said, "It's okay." No one was going to look at the statue, at least not yet. Without the little golden ball, the princes of this country will not kill each other in the future."
"Why do the princes kill each other?"
"Because there is a treasure map in the little golden ball~~~"
Regarding her daughter's naïve-sounding statement that it sounded like a joke, although Xu Shantong didn't doubt it, she didn't take it seriously. Treasure maps are treasure maps, anyway, if they don't look for them, wouldn't they? And, since no one knows about it now, it's not wrong for them to take it, right? Well, that's it~~~
A bunch of second-class mothers and daughters just put the treasure map that was turned into a peerless treasure by later generations. The cushion went home in the shoe pit, and the little gold ball was hung on the trunk and used as an ornament
Stepping on the land of China again and smelling the air of China, Xu Qinglong's heart finally settled down. That's the charm of home
Then, as soon as I looked up, I saw a familiar scene - the flower welcome sign that once made her look away, it was still so scary and heavy. The heart behind it is also so heavy
Xu Qinglong got down from Xu Shantong's arms. Xu Ziliang and Song Wenrang, who were crying over there with a smile, also threw the sign, and began to run regardless of it, followed by Xu Xiantong and Xu Mengtong, who were crying so much that they couldn't open their eyes, ran a little slower, Grandpa Xu and Xu Weitong Xu Zinuo also involuntarily walked forward a few steps, only Mrs. Xu bent down and picked a flower from the big brand. Holding it in his hand, he kept shaking Xu Qinglong
After receiving a large round of tears and saliva, Xu Qinglong finally got into the car home. Xu Qinglong sat on Grandpa Xu's lap and suddenly took off his hat, "Grandpa." Look ~~~~"
"Bang! Xu Xiantong, who deigned to be the driver in order to sit in a car with Xu Qinglong, hit the car in front of him. In front of them was Xu Mengtong's car, Xu Mengtong was angry, stopped the car, took Xu Ziliang and Song Wen to hum angrily, and patted the window of the car on the driver's side, "Are you sincere?" Do you know how to drive? There's sugar candy in the car, don't do it if you can't drive!! You"
Xu Mengtong was still talking, when he saw the rear car door open, and a dark purple fluffy little head poked out, "Auntie~~~You look at my hair~~~~"
Xu Mengtong covered his heart, worried that he would not be able to get up in one breath, and then blinked his eyes vigorously, rushed over in one step, stretched out his hand in disbelief, and touched it carefully, plump and elastic, although it was curly hair, it was very soft to the touch, and it felt very good
After Xu Mengtong dreamed for a long time, he turned his face to greet Xu Shantong who walked from a car behind, Sugar candy has such a big thing as long hair, you make more than ten calls a day, why don't you say it?!!!
Xu Qinglong got out of the car and was watched again for a long time, and then was carried into the car by Mrs. Xu. The car started up again and moved forward.
Mrs. Xu touched and touched it lovely, and then smiled very happily, especially happy for the child, "Now you have hair, are you happy?" Mrs. gave you a head flower can also wear it, wait for the hair to grow more, Mrs. gives you a curly head, although this roll is not good, but the plate is good, it will be better-looking sugar candy likes the hairstyle of the white lady, isn't it? Mrs. will pan oh, Mrs. will pan Chang'e like that, "The old lady is really excited, happy."
Xu Qinglong was beautiful, hugging Mrs. Xu, "Mrs. Pan, they are all good-looking, I like them all~~~ Anyway, I have hair, I have to toss hard~~~"
Mrs. Xu agreed, "Yes, toss hard, how good you look!" ”
"Hahaha~~~~"
Grandpa Xu is no longer surprised, and now he is happy, but he is carefully observing Tangtang. This child, as Xiaoshan said, has changed his smile and temperament. The personality has changed, but it seems that it hasn't changed or I'm still smiling so happily, the temperament is still so clean, and the personality is still so simple, but this seems to be a domineering feeling that can be transformed. Dazzling and scorching, but also aggressive, as if something that had once been in the child's body had been broken
And this kind of break makes Tangtang's eyebrows lose the faint retreat and confusion, and is replaced by fearlessness and self-confidence. This child was also brave and confident before, but he is still in the same state. Completely different. You can really feel that she is really rejoicing vividly. to all things. Tangtang's previous smile, most of which were habitual, lacked a lot of fresh colors, to put it bluntly, it just didn't come from the heart.
But now, when she laughed, her whole body was still shining. But it is different from the thin light of the past, but absolutely brilliant. Rich glow. This kind of light doesn't need the blessing of her appearance.
For this change in Tangtang, Grandpa Xu doesn't know whether to be happy or lost. The child is getting better and better, and of course he is happy. However, why did the child change, how did he become? He may never know
"Grandpa, what's that?" Xu Qinglong asked, pointing out the car window and what was flying in the sky.
"Actually, it hasn't changed," the kite. Flying the remote control with a line, don't you see that there are a lot of people standing there? ”
Xu Qinglong looked at the person. looked at the kite again, "Grandpa, I want this kite too~~~"
"Okay, it's still changed," "Okay, grandpa got it for you."
"yes yes yes~~~ thank you grandpa~~~ grandpa, I miss you so much~~~~"
Grandpa Xu was nestled into her arms, and Xu Qinglong, who arched back and forth, rubbed it without ruts, and wrapped his arms around her, "Well, okay, grandpa also misses you, you don't get sick in the future, you won't leave grandpa" Never have that night again!!
Xu Qinglong laughed, "People will get sick~~~ Then I will listen to my grandfather's words and work hard to be healthy~~~" But, "How can I work hard to be healthy?" ”
"Drink milk" Grandpa Xu said lazily, pinching the child's little feet, his hair has grown, but his size has not grown at all, so he still has to drink more milk
Xu Qinglong's little face was wrinkled, and he drank milk, "Is it made to eat toffee?" ”
Grandpa Xu laughed and poked the child's milky little face, "No." "What should I do if I eat a bad tooth?
Mrs. Xu patted Xu Qinglong, "Mrs. is looking for someone to make milk powder for you, you can eat it" Xu Qinglong's whole body moved, "Okay~~~" Grandpa Xu hugged her carefully, worried that she would fall, and then glanced at Mrs. Xu helplessly, the old lady was also frightened by the child's frightened night
Alas, sure enough, in the future, there will really be no more people in this family who can manage sugar and candy
When she got home, Xu Qinglong was really baptized by Dazui and Dahei, if it weren't for them missing her so much, she would really have to pluck their ears. It's very dirty, okay, and then hugged Huahua, Xu Qinglong rubbed its soft body, sighed comfortably, or Huahua is good, after loosening the flowers, I found that Huahua's paws have a big mouth and big black dog hair Xu Qinglong hugged it and kissed it again, be careful~~~~
"Tangtang, don't play, come, take a shower first, throw away your clothes, your attic has also been built, will the little uncle live in a new house with you tonight?" Xu Xiantong took Xu Qinglong's change of clothes and came over first.
"Not good." Xu Mengtong floated over like a ghost, "It's me who wants to sleep with Sugar Candy!" ”
"Tangtang, big brother has put the bath water for you, come on" Xu Zi promised to be the fastest one. Because of the help of Xu Ziliang and Song Wenrang
Xu Weitong stood dryly, reluctant to leave, but he didn't know what he could do. Grandpa Xu and Mrs. Xu sat on the side, resting and drinking tea, watching the excitement
Xu Shantong thought sadly, in fact, she is her mother's, right?
Xu Qinglong looked up at Xu Xiantong, then at Xu Mengtong, and then said a little sadly, "It's all my fault, let my little uncle and aunt worry, you have all lost weight and I'm fine now, don't worry, can you go and rest?" Wait for me to take a shower and talk to my little uncle and aunt~~~"
Xu Xiantong and Xu Mengtong, who were in tears by Xu Qinglong's words, rushed back to the house in tears. Xu Qinglong breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that her family was still very nervous and scared, but she was really fine now, could she let her have a chest stone to prove that she was really good? I won't let it
Xu Qinglong greeted the Xu family and went to take a bath with Huahua, but Xu Zinuo did not follow up. Because he sensed that Qinglong didn't want to let him serve her bath
Grandpa Xu was a little embarrassed, was that a child's superb trick just now to solve Xiaoxian and Xiaomeng? Why is he so dazzled? Why is it so thrilling? But no matter how the child looks at it, he is sincere, is this called a master's move, killing people invisibly?
Grandpa Xu really broke a boulder in his chest
A week later, the Xu family fully accepted the fact that Xu Qinglong was already well and had grown hair. I was not so nervous and was afraid to worry about it. (To be continued......)
