(42) Family
Xuan Yao looked at the two brothers who looked like Bo Xun Zhongchi on the side, and the thick tiredness that Jing Hua tried her best to hide was also in her eyes.
She hadn't seen him since the last time Gu Yuelou said goodbye.
After half a year, I saw that although he tried his best to endure and forced a smile, there was still no trace of blood on his face, and he looked dying. I knew that what he said about healing outside was not a pretense, but that he was really sick to the point where it was difficult to move an inch.
Although she no longer had any love for Jinghua, she couldn't bear it when she saw him so haggard and had been confined to this bleak and depressed valley for months.
"Jinghua, if you are tired, you might as well go back to the house to rest for a while, it is very draining to talk too much. Xuan Yao persuaded him, and his gentle voice was like a milk swallow crying green, tactful and affectionate.
Jinghua raised her head and met her eyes, which were warm and clear, a little love, a little pity, but she was already frank and swaying, and there was no lingering resentment.
He knew that she had let go of that love in her heart, and he couldn't help but smile with relief.
The last time I saw her was in Guyue Building, she drank and got drunk with Chenhua. At that time, she threatened to hate herself so much, so hated that she did not hesitate to cut her own face, and did not hesitate to break with herself.
But fortunately, now she has figured it out, let go of her infatuation with herself, and let go of herself.
"Bao Yao, thank you. Jinghua smiled.
Xuan Yao bowed slightly, she naturally understood what Jinghua was thanking in this sentence of "thanks".
Ran was as sensitive and proud as her, and after listening to Jinghua's admittedly "thank you", rows of sharp little teeth sprouted in her heart, shattering the pity that had just risen to a clean smash in an instant.
Thank me? huh......
Thank me so that I don't bother you anymore?
Xuanyuan Jinghua, you actually look down on me so much!
She is no longer the little orphan girl who bowed her head and eyebrows, and acted according to people's eyes, the emperor's heavy use of her, and the courtiers' flattery to her, so that she can no longer tolerate anyone's contempt and insult to herself, although Jinghua's words are not derogatory, but she misinterprets herself, but she is also angry.
The smile of Xuan Yao, but he stiffened for a moment, and immediately looked as usual, and said softly: "Jinghua, you should relax and recuperate." Chenhua has been a lot more sensible since his mother went to the immortals, and he practiced martial arts diligently every day, and his father saw that he was cultivating for improvement, so he temporarily handed over the military department to him to take care of, and said that the Jingtian Divine Soldier Meeting next month will also be presided over by him. ”
Jinghua and Qinglan were quite surprised, especially Qinglan, who saw Chenhua ask for war at that time, but the Emperor of Heaven rejected it in public, scolded him for child's play, and didn't save him half of his face, why is he willing to suddenly change his mind and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Jinghua is extremely intelligent, and when he heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile, "So congratulations! My handsome seal is still in the room, Qinglan, you go and take it out for me and give it to the third brother." ”
Chenhua hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm just here to report good news to the second brother, I want the second brother to be happy for me, thinking that if you are happy, the second brother's illness may be fine?"
He was a little shy, bowed his head and whispered: "I never wanted to misunderstand the second brother, thinking that I was here for this handsome seal." How dare the younger brother steal the second brother's seat? However, my father ordered me to preside over it for the time being, and when the second brother recovers and returns, this military department will naturally still be the second brother's palm print. ”
After he said these few words, Qinglan had already taken out the handsome seal and handed it to Jinghua. Jinghua put it on Chenhua's hand again, coughed lightly, and said earnestly: "If you can lead Tianshengshui and all the soldiers well, the second brother is really too late to be happy, what misunderstanding is there to talk about?
Although Qinglan didn't have a good impression of him at first, since he knew that he was Jiang Yi's white head overnight, he felt a lot of pity for this younger brother, and heard that he was becoming more and more sensible and diligent day and night, and he was also happy from the heart, so he followed Jinghua at this time and said sincerely:
"Chenhua, you can turn back as a prodigal son and work hard, those of us who are brothers are really happy for you. Jinghua gave you the handsome seal, so don't shirk it. In this way, you will go back to preside over first, and when my eye injury heals, I will return to Heaven and Water to help you, put our Celestial Clan's combat strength in order, and build an invincible and invincible iron army!"
This Chenhua is the same as Xuan Yao, he has a ghost in his heart, so he is easy to listen to a good sentence crookedly.
Qian Yao was teased by Jinghua's "thank you", and Chenhua was also angry by Qinglan's "happy for you".
People are actually quite weird. Chenhua has watched Jinghua look majestic everywhere since he was a child, although he has sympathy and jealousy in his heart, he really admires him. He has become accustomed to listening to what Jinghua says, and he will not find fault with his words.
But Qinglan is different, he is a foreigner, and he has not been in the Heavenly Court for a long time, although he has won himself once with his martial arts, he has never really convinced him in his heart. Especially when he learned that he was the one who took away all his mother's love, he was even more jealous and hateful to him.
Although Chenhua kept calling Qinglan "brother" and being obedient, in fact, he never really respected him, let alone put him in the position of a brother like Jinghua.
What does it mean to "turn back and work hard"?
Why do I have a chance, and you are "really happy for me?"
When will it be your turn to speak these words, and what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?
You Qinglan is just a little king of the West Sea, and a wild seed from a humble background, and you really regard yourself as my brother, judging me and teaching me a lesson?
But he and Xuan Yao are indeed a natural pair, although their hearts have jumped like thunder, they still maintain a humble and well-behaved appearance on the surface, and lowered their eyes and said: "Chenhua's qualifications are still shallow, my father's move is really embarrassing, I just hope that my brothers will come back soon, if there is no help from you, Chenhua will definitely not be able to do it." ”
Xuanhua stood at the door, watching the four people in the courtyard chatting happily, and hesitated about another thing in his heart.
It's not too early, it's time to eat.
But these two uninvited guests who fell from the sky, should I keep them or not?
It stands to reason that it is rare for the three brothers to get together, and he, the eldest brother, should be invited by the graciously invited. Jinghua has always valued family the most, and now he is in such a terminal situation, after this reunion, I don't know if there will be a chance to get together again next time.
But Ah Yuan and Ah Mo are also about to come back, and when they see that there are two more people in the family, it is lively, but if Ah Yuan asks, "Xuanhua, who is this girl?"
Could it be that he told her, "Ah, Ah Yuan, this is the crown princess in the Nine Heavens?"
Ah Yuan will slap herself to the point of vomiting blood, or she will vomit blood in anger. No, no, in this case, it is better to let Ah Yuan vomit blood by himself, his body is strong, and he vomits twice without tightening, not to mention that Ah Yuan's medical skills are exquisite, and he must be measured.
He was twisting his eyebrows and making assumptions with all kinds of consequences, but he heard someone call him "big brother" Jiaojiao.
When I looked up, it was Xuan Yao.
The woman in front of her came with slender steps, her clothes fluttering with the shadows, as quiet as falling flowers shining on the water, her posture was like the wind blowing willows, and after standing still, she smiled at herself.
She saluted Xuanhua first, then raised a pair of deep pupils, and said weakly: "Xuan Yao is brave, like Jinghua and Chenhua, call the eldest brother, I hope the eldest brother will not be disgusted." ”
Xuanhua was slightly stunned, he had the impression that Xuan Yao had never called his eldest brother.
Although she is called the righteous daughter of the Queen of Heaven, she has been careful and delicate, and she has secretly pondered that there is actually a difference between this "daughter of the Queen of Heaven" and "the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven", so she has always called Jiang Yi the "Queen Mother", but she has never been bored with herself, and she dares to call the Emperor "Father", she still kneels down and kowtows in accordance with the rules, and calls "Your Majesty".
It is precisely because of this that she sees that she has always been called "His Royal Highness the Prince", and she has never called herself "Big Brother" like Jinghua and them now. ”
But at this time, the change of tone is very good.
She is already the identity of the crown princess, and she should be called "Your Highness" by Xuanhua, if she is more affectionate, it is not impossible to call her by her name. Just like when she fell in love with Jinghua at that time, she called him "Jinghua", until the Yaochi wedding banquet said goodbye to him, and everyone went their own way, so he was renamed "Second Highness".
Therefore, Xuan Yao's "big brother" undoubtedly drew a clear line between himself and Xuanhua again, and returned to the state of brother and sister. Euphemistically but very obviously told him that although the Emperor and Queen of Heaven arranged this marriage, she did not consider herself the crown princess, she still regarded him as her eldest brother as before, so that he would not have to be ashamed.
Xuanhua sighed in admiration, and secretly said that this girl was really understanding.
He had no dealings with Xuan Yao, and when he heard that she was pointed out to him, he only felt a little troublesome, not like Jinghua, who felt how much he owed.
But her soft "big brother" made him very moved, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of her. The second brother of Xindao has also been taken care of by her over the years, and the two have been married, but they were forcibly separated. Not only that, but the one who worshiped her in the Nine Heavens was a puppet.
This is really unfair to a woman of a young age!
She was young, her fate was so bad, she was overwhelmed by power, and she made sacrifices again and again. But it is precisely under such a tragic fate that she is so knowledgeable, not only is she not resentful, but on the contrary, she always thinks about herself and persuades herself to rest assured that she will not rely on herself because of that marriage.
I really didn't expect that there is such a weak, so pitiful, but so kind-hearted woman in this world......
Seeing that Xuanhua had been silent, she knew that her efforts were not in vain, and the effect was only better than she expected, so she and Chenhua ran this trip, and at the same time captured Xuanhua and Jinghua's apologies and good feelings towards her.
I have to say that his acting skills have been perfected, and Chenhua's silver hair has also added a lot of points to him.
Xuan Yao was complacent in her heart, but she was even more dignified, and said lightly: "Big brother, there are still many things to be busy in the heavenly court, and I forgive the little sister and Chenhua for not staying for a long time, so I have to leave." ”
"Ah, leave so soon, don't you stay for a meal?" Xuanhua kept on his face, but he was overjoyed in his heart.
Xuan Yao smiled, "Big brother is welcome, if I am free, I will often come to visit Jinghua." These days, I'm tired of my big brother. ”
That Chenhua has also said goodbye to Jinghua and Qinglan. The two then walked out side by side.
