One night in Beiguan on the way, Lingji had a dream about the days she spent with her mother when she was a child!

It was a memory of nine years ago, and now it is so real in dreams!

In her dream, she returned to nine years ago, in the courtyard of the south hall of the Butterfly Palace, watching what happened in the courtyard!

The air in the courtyard is filled with a faint fragrance of green bells, that day is the season when the green bells are in full bloom, a green bell flowers bloom in the courtyard like red silk clusters are beautiful, and they take away the style of the strange flowers and plants in the courtyard of all colors. A row of about eight or nine beautiful palace maids stood solemnly behind their mother Xi Die, looking intently at the little Lingji who practiced calligraphy.

She saw her mother Xi Die wearing a red phoenix tail skirt, the pearlescent halo was luxurious, he held the wine bottle and sat on the golden silk nan phoenix beam carved chair, she sipped the wine in the cup, and looked at her practicing calligraphy when she was a child. She wanted to talk to her, but no matter how much she called her, her mother couldn't hear her! Oh, it turned out that it was in a dream, and she was just a bystander, an invisible person, a bystander that no one could hear or see! She stood beside her mother with some frustration.

She looked at herself when she was a child, how small! She was still a childish girl dressed in a purple satin skirt, with her head in a double bun, and her eyes closed on a sub-inlaid black sapphire blue satin beaded jade futon in the middle of the courtyard, and a mahogany table was stacked with rice paper with good characters written.

Her slightly baby fat melon seed face stubbornly held the brush, due to the wind and cold, the sweat rolled down from her forehead to the long and dense hair, as if she heard a click, and fell into the futon pearl jade and evaporated instantly.

The maids of the palace have been serving Lingji in this south hall for a long time, looking at her who has been serving since she was a baby, and seeing her practice calligraphy so hard, I can't help but feel distressed. A few people were whispering, and the words were now clear to her in her dreams.

"Now the young master just turned eight years old a few days ago, and he needs to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting until late at night every day, such a difficult way to practice is really ten times that of ordinary children!"

"If you want to carry a crown, you must bear its weight! There is no way, in the royal family, you have to rely on strength to speak, and the daughter of the princess must be even more so, and the audience respects the people with strength! ”

……

Seeing that the extremely tired young girl finally completed the copying, her mother Xi Die bowed her head slightly, and said gently: "Ji'er, you can overcome your own will, and you can do well in your illness!" I'll take you to Douluo Field tomorrow.

When Xiao Lingji heard Douluo Field, she staggered up with joy, forgetting the fatigue of the day, her eyes were bent into two crescents with a smile, and the demon butterfly touched her head closely, and said angrily: "Slow down!" I just practiced sitting for a day and stood up violently, and it was good to fall down! He hugged her as he spoke.

It is said that Douluo Field is the arena inherited from the ancestors of Yunmeng Kingdom, where it is a talent competition base in various fields, and it is also a symbol of the most just authority, any talented and powerful royal family, scholars, and ordinary people can participate in the competition there, where they can find the best outstanding talents in the whole Yunmeng, and it is also the best opportunity for civilians to find a way out through the competition. Lingji has been longing for a long time, looking forward to seeing the stunt talents inside.

Xiao Lingji pursed her lips in embarrassment, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Yes, mother, it's the child who is reckless for a while!" Worried about the mother! ”

Lingji smiled in the dream and stretched out her hand and touched her head when she was a child, but little Lingji didn't know anything! Thinking about how innocent she was at that time, as long as her mother took her to Douluo Field, she was happy to jump up!

The picture turned to the early morning of the next day, Xiao Lingji was wearing an apricot-colored balloon sleeve knee-length short skirt, stepping on white rib mark soft riding boots and running to the residence of the mother of Dieqi Palace, her hair was finely combed into several small braids, a leaf vein bell silver ornament hung from her forehead, and a small face was like a pink peach blossom in March, followed by several palace maids who did not dare to exceed the rules and had to step closely to follow, an elderly palace maid ran to Lingji's side and persuaded: "Young master, slow down!" It's still early today, I'm afraid that the palace master has just gotten up, and you are in such a hurry, I'm afraid that the princess will say that you are out of shape again! ”

Xiao Lingji smiled back: "I'm happy today, yesterday my mother allowed me to visit Douluo Field, it's the first time I've been so out of shape, don't persuade me, wait for me and wait outside the door first!" When my mother got up, I went in and said hello! ”

Mama smiled and retreated behind Xiao Lingji, and said to her: "I secretly think that this should be the case, the little master has been practicing diligently every day and finally let go of his worries, so I will be happy and let you go." ”

Halfway through, I just happened to meet my mother's big attendant June walked out of the east hall, June stopped and greeted and left, Xiao Lingji turned to the grandmother behind her and said: "Wan Mama, you see that my mother got up early again today, I don't know why June came early in the morning!" ”

Mama smiled and replied: "The princess status is under one person, and there are naturally a lot of political affairs in the day above ten thousand people, June guesses that there is something important to do, young master, you have to work hard to share the worries of the princess in the future!" ”

Xiao Lingji nodded, thinking about her mother while walking is really not easy, in addition to helping her uncle supervise the country every day, she also has to worry about herself, and she must work hard to solve her mother's worries in the future.

After eating breakfast with her mother, the palace attendants had already prepared the sedan chair, and Xiao Lingji put on an apricot gauze scarf to cover her face, and walked into the gorgeous sedan chair with two snow-white war horses. The princess traveled with the eight close maids and maidservants of the three hundred knights all unified on the red horses and walked towards the Douluo Field, out of the palace gate into the main street, the people saw the sedan chair engraved with the butterfly sign of the first grade have knelt down to worship, the nobles who sat in the sedan chair have given way to the sedan chair to kneel to welcome the palace master, only to engrave the ground on the black pressure and kneel down.

Mother Xidie opened the curtain of the car, pointed to the outside of the curtain and said, "Ji'er, you see that this is the people of Yunmeng, you have to help the people of Mother and Uncle Squid Emperor." Today, my mother took you on a trip to see Douluo Field, just to let you know that at the moment of life and death in Yunmeng Kingdom, only your own strength is the real ability. Today's mother relies on the face of the royal family, but also her own strength, you must remember the people on the road of Douluo Field and the life and death battle in Douluo Field in this life! ”

Xiao Lingji nodded solemnly, although she didn't understand some truths when she was young, but what her mother said was natural for her reasoning, and to be a daughter, she had to obey her guidance in order to live up to her mother's earnest teachings.

The road back to Dieqi Palace from Douluo Field is not very far, at this moment she feels that it is so long, for the first time in her life, Xiao Lingji feels the pressure, what happened just now in Douluo Field is still vivid, it turns out that the world can be so cruel, just now a fighter was beaten because his skills are not as good as others and became disabled and cannot stand for life, and there is an old scholar who knelt down because of the failure of the final challenge to calligraphy, just to ask for another place in the competition, only to ask for another place in the competition, only this is his only way out, the child at home is terminally ill and waiting for him to win the prize money to cure the disease, This fate is only swallowed by themselves.

This is strength, with strength you can protect the people you want to protect, you can survive, and since then she finally understands why her mother is strict with her.

This dream is so long, I remember the events that happened nine years ago, I really want to see my mother again, tell my mother that she has grown up, she misses her very much!

When she woke up in a dream, she was already in tears, Mother, where are you now, do you want to be Lingji?

Yunmengguo, Qingquantai of Yumen Mountain, Xi Die was sitting on the dresser by the personal palace maid combing her hair in a bun, and a maid came over and said respectfully: "Princess, there is something to tell you about June Road outside the door!" ”

"Oh, in such a hurry, you call him in and tell him! You go down first. Xi Die pulled up her clothes and replied, and the palace maids retreated one by one after listening to the order.

After a while, outside the curtain tent, June knelt down and kowtowed: "Princess, yesterday Uncle Nanyan Huayu Wang, Princess Chunliu, and Prince Lisheng have arrived at the north pass of my Yunmeng with the prince of Yu, because of his special status, June is here to report!" ”

After hearing this, Xi Die knew in his heart that this kid was dreaming of clouds because of his grandfather's illness, although he didn't dare to blatantly go with his true identity, but he finally didn't insult his grandfather's face! Listening to the spies report him for the past few months, he and her own daughter Nan Chunliu have been staying in the Snow Forest Country, and I don't know what chance it is, Lingji and Chunliu have all gotten together!

Xi Die smiled: "June, you are so good to cover them, as long as he does not hurt the people, don't let him be targeted by other forces of Yunmeng, and see what this kid does!" ”

June listened to the order and retreated!

On the stone table in the octagonal pavilion, there are a few plates of dried fruits and a set of enamel tea sets carved with ink-colored green bell flowers, Hua Yu sat on the stone bench and slenderly picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea, took a cup of tea, gently plucked a few red petals floating in the teacup, smelled it lightly, a faint fragrance entered the nose, as if thoughts invaded the heart, and in an instant a drop flowed from the tearful eyes, he lightly closed his eyes, and the tears did not overflow and evaporated!

This is the tea of his mother Liao Jilian's hometown, this water is the water of Huansha River, the flower is concocted by the green bell petals of the national flower of Yunmengguo, this tea is rare to drink in the Nanyan country, and no one is worthy of drinking, only his niece, the girl who found a trace of comfort in the rumors that he was criticized by the whole country! At this moment, he just wants to share this tea with him!

Chunliu didn't have time to think much about his meditative demeanor, and before he sat down, he stretched out his hand and took another cup of tea unceremoniously, but she had never seen this tea-making thing, just a few red petals! She sniffed curiously, only smelled a faint fragrance in her mouth and nose, and took a sip in the back, only to feel that there was a deep feeling in her mouth, and after entering her throat, she was moisturized and cold, and after entering her lungs, she was even more happy! Chun Liuyu praised: "Wow, this tea is really good, amazing!" Metropolitan tea must be drunk hot, but Uncle's cold tea is excellent! Anyway, I don't know where the uncle can find it?"

Nan Huayu heard her niece's question, opened her eyes and sorted out her emotions, raised the teacup in her hand, and replied, "Girl, how is it?" Do you know the origin of this tea! ”
