Temple of Ruthlessness

Hanyi Hanyu walked anxiously around the door, looking at the gate of the courtyard from time to time.

"Where did Miss Qin Xiang go? Why haven't you come back yet, will something happen? Hanyi's face was full of anxiety.

"I don't know, today when Shen Shi (13:00~15:00), she came to find the princess, and she didn't know what happened in a hurry" Hanyu's face was also full of worry.

Hanyi looked at the courtyard door from time to time, and looked into the master bedroom from time to time. The princess hadn't had dinner yet, but she ordered no one to disturb her, and Qin Xiang didn't come back, so she was really anxious.

"Sister, I'm a little dizzy, you stand for a while, don't go." Hanyu looked at Hanyu pitifully and said.

The winter coat stopped and was about to speak.

"Sister, Sister Qin Xiang is back." Han Yu pointed to Qin Xiang, who ran in from the outside at the gate of the courtyard.

Hanyi and Hanyu hurriedly greeted him. "Qin Xiang, where have you been? Why is it so late, is something wrong? ”

Qin Xiang crossed his hands on his hips and exhaled heavily. "I didn't ...... Nothing happened, don't worry. I'm sorry! Makes you worried. ”

"Have you all eaten?" Qin Xiang took a few breaths in a row and continued to ask.

"We used it with the other ladies of the palace. You're the only one left, and ...... And the princess too. ”

"Huh?" Lingxin hasn't eaten yet.

"What's going on?"

Hanyi's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Your Highness came back from outside today, and his face is not very good, and after he enters, he ordered no one to disturb." The time for the meal was almost over, and His Highness still hadn't come out. ”

"Hanyu and I were worried, but we didn't dare to disturb Your Highness. So, just wait for you to come back. ”

Qin Xiang blinked and turned her head to look at them: "You go and tell the dining room to cook the food, bring it, I'll go in and find the princess." ”

"Okay"

Well, Qin Xiang shook the hand of the cold clothes, walked sideways to the door of Mo Lingxin's dormitory, raised his hand, and prepared to knock on the door.

An inch from the door, he stopped. After thinking about it, he pushed the door directly and walked in, closing the door with both hands in reverse.

Mo Lingxin lay on the dresser, looking at himself in the mirror, in a daze, and didn't notice Qin Xiang opening the door and coming in.

Qin Xiang looked at the bronze mirror standing behind her, thinking that she should see herself.

But after a while, I found that Mo Lingxin still didn't move.

The worry in his eyes was even worse, "Lingxin, what's wrong with you?" Qin Xiang grabbed her shoulder and shook it gently.

Mo Lingxin was startled, came back to her senses, saw her, and asked softly, "Why are you here?" ”

"I've been here for a while. You usually be wary of any sound, but you didn't hear me when I pushed the door just now. I was standing behind you, and you didn't see it. What happened to you? Qin Xiang moved a chair, sat down next to Mo Lingxin, put her hand on the dresser, and looked at her worriedly and asked.

Mo Lingxin sat up straight, looked at her worried eyes, and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine." It's just a reminder of the past. ”

Mo Lingxin played with the comb in his hand. Turning his head to look at Qin Xiang: "Xiang'er, what is your home like?" Your mother, she...... I must love you very much. ”

Qin Xiang nodded, supporting her chin with both hands. "Well, she loves me a lot. You know, I don't have a father, only a mother. ”

Mo Lingxin's hand holding the golden comb paused abruptly and did not speak.

Qin Xiang didn't notice her abnormality, just tilted her head and continued.

"For as long as I can remember, I haven't had a father figure. I once asked my mother, but my mother kept silent every time. As soon as I was sensible, I knew that my mother didn't like me to ask, so I never asked again. ”

"So, do you want to know who your father is?" Mo Lingxin looked at her, his tone was slight, and he asked carefully.

Qin Xiang shook his head, "I don't want to." Since the mother is unwilling? Well, then my father is not a good man. Moreover, my mother was very good to me. Even though I don't have a father, I'm still happy. So, I don't want to know who my father is. ”

"Are you afraid that if you know, you will ruin the image of your father in your heart!" Mo Lingxin looked at her and said.

Qin Xiang turned her head to look at her, and nodded for a while.

"There's another reason, though. I follow my mother's surname, I don't want to change my surname, I think the surname Qin is very good. If you know who your father is, or if you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, you can't have the same surname as your mother. So, I don't want to know who my father is. Because no matter who he is, since he has left his mother, it means that he doesn't want me anymore, why should I lick my face and beg. ”

Mo Lingxin saw a trace of her sadness, although it was very burdensome, but after all, she still had expectations.

Oh, yes! Who wouldn't want their parents to be by their side, being hurt and pampered to grow up. There is the gentleness and kindness of the mother, and the stern preference of the father. Pity......

Mo Lingxin rubbed the finger of his right hand with his left hand, looked at the comb on the dresser, and asked again, "By the way, then do you know what Aunt Qin's identity is?" I don't know much about her. But now it's different, we're sisters, and I want to know more about her. ”

"Oh my mother! You've seen it, she's beautiful. The most beautiful people in our little street. Speaking of her mother, Qin Xiang's eyebrows danced, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles and happiness.

"I think she's very talented and knowledgeable. It seems that there is nothing she doesn't know, my words, my paintings are all taught by her. ”

"Our family is not rich, but we are not poor either. The mother's embroidery is very good, and the handkerchiefs and silk scarves she embroidered have special stores to collect. ”

"She gave me the feeling that she was like the ladies in the capital, gentle and generous. Poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she knows. Since I was a child, he taught me all kinds of things. But what I like the most is drawing. ”

"My mother's best skill is the piano, and sometimes she dances in the yard behind closed doors. I watched from the sidelines, often wondering if she was a fairy! Otherwise, how could it be so perfect. In my mind, she just can do anything. ”

"It wasn't until I met you that I knew that there really was a perfect person like my mother." Qin Xiang tilted her head slightly, looking at Mo Lingxin coquettishly.

Mo Lingxin chuckled and shook his head. "There are no perfect people in this world. Maybe my mother will be the perfect person in my heart, but no one else should be perfect. ”

Mo Ling looked at her steadily: "Because I don't know what the other side of her is like." The people of the world who live with masks...... Too much. ”

"I don't care what other people do. But in my heart, you are perfect," Qin Xiang retorted.

"In my heart, you are not a perfect person. But...... You are the most innocent and lovely person. In this world, people who can live like you...... Seldom. ”

"We're all the same, we're lovely people" Qin Xiang tilted her head and smirked at Mo Lingxin.

"Heh~" Mo Lingxin looked at her appearance and couldn't help but bow her head and smile.

"Lingxin, you look so good when you smile. You should smile more" Qin Xiang looked at her smile and was amazed.

"Good! I'll laugh at you a lot in the future. Mo Lingxin replied with an eyebrow.

"Mmmm~~" Qin Xiang nodded violently in a row.

"Buckle buckle...... Buckle ...... button "Mo Lingxin heard a knock on the door and was about to get up.

"Hey~, don't go, I'll go. If my guess is correct, they should have brought dinner. Qin Xiang pressed her shoulder and said, stood up and went to open the door.

"Squeak~~" The door was pulled open from the inside. At the door, Hanyi Hanyu was holding a food box.

"Hanyi Hanyu, come in! Put it on the table. ”

"Okay."

Mo Lingxin lifted the curtain and walked out. When I saw the food box on the table, I wondered, "Is it time for dinner?" ”

Seeing her come out, Hanyi Hanyu stood up straight and bowed, "Princess Jin'an." ”

"Your Royal Highness, it's almost time for dinner."

"Let's get out first!" Mo Lingxin looked at Hanyi Hanyu.

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." The two left the dormitory.

After they went out, Qin Xiang opened the food box and brought out a plate of exquisite delicacies and placed them on the table. Smelling the aroma of the food makes you appetize.

Qin Xiang took out the rice in another food box, put it in a bowl, and put it in front of Mo Lingxin: "Let's eat!" If you eat it when it's cold later, it will be uncomfortable for your body. The stomach of a girl cannot be cold. ”

Mo Lingxin sat down and picked up the dishes and chopsticks, "Who told you that?" ”

Qin Xiang smiled, "My mother told me." She saw it in a medical book. Our home, except for furniture and the like. Books! It can be called the study of a small rich businessman. ”

"Aunt Qin is still studying medicine?" Mo Lingxin asked.

"Hmm~ How do you say it......" Qin Xiang held the bowl with chopsticks, thinking about how to organize the language.

"It's our family's medical books, and a few of them are bought. Most of it was some common sense written by my mother herself. ”

"Whenever someone on our street went to grab medicine and the doctor prescribed a prescription, she would borrow it and write it down. The neighbors knew that she loved to collect some prescriptions, so every time she went to the hospital to get the prescriptions, she would give them to her mother. When the mother confirms that the neighbor's sick person has been cured, she writes down the prescription and the symptoms of the disease that should be treated. ”

Then, she went to pick some simple herbs herself. If the neighbor has a minor illness, discomfort, etc. She boiled medicine for them to drink for free and did not charge money. Therefore, my mother's popularity is very good. Many people admire her, and I follow suit, and from time to time my aunt and grandfather will give me some candy or something. ”

Qin Xiang said as the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She missed her mother, but the capital was not safe, and she entered the palace again, which was even more dangerous. She didn't dare, and she couldn't get her here.

She knew that her mother didn't like the capital. In the past, when she mentioned that she must go to the capital to have a look in this life, the smile on her mother's face would fade.

"What's wrong?" Sensing that something was wrong with her emotions, Mo Lingxin asked with concern.

"No, I just miss my mother. The first time she had been away from home for so long, she didn't know about me, she must have been in a hurry. I haven't written to her yet. Qin Xiang lowered her head and whispered.

"Don't worry. I've had someone deliver the news and go to the border city. Mo Lingxin took a bite of food.

"Really? When? Qin Xiang raised her head suddenly, and asked in shock and surprise.

"When I first entered the palace, the emperor temporarily gave me two secret guards, and I already asked him to send the news. Now, the estimate has arrived. ”

Qin Xiang had a smile on his face. "Thank you, Lingxin. In the future, I will definitely repay you. ”

"Let's eat! I'll talk about it later, the world is impermanent......" Mo Lingxin continued to eat.

Qin Xiang nodded heavily, mumbled, and began to add vegetables.
