Chapter 162: Follow the Trend (1)
"Hey, Yu Tzu-hyuk?" Shang Ling poked out half of his head behind Yu Cihe and asked, "That... Yu Tzu Hyuk, I'm not questioning your judgment, I have a little question for you. ”
"What's the problem?" Yu Tzu-hyuk stood in the alley, also showing half of his head to observe the people coming and going on the street.
"That's it, you said that we have arrived in the capital, and we are still wandering around the streets like this, if you don't take some precautions, it will be too easy to be discovered, right?"
Yu Tzu Hyuk turned to lean against the wall and looked at him: "Could it be that you want to wear night clothes in this daytime?" The thief shouts to catch the thief, so that it will be easier to be discovered, right? ”
"No, I didn't say I wore nightclothes in broad daylight, so I'm not sick. I mean, this street is full of people from the palace, and we can't cover our faces or anything? ”
"People in the palace?" Yu Cihe looked at Shang Lingdao with a strange expression, "How do you know that there are people in the palace on this street?" ”
"Isn't that easy? Last time we entered the palace, I saw some of them! Hey, that's it! He secretly pointed in a direction with his hand, "The one who sells the fruit, isn't he the one in the Tai**?" The last time the prince feasted us, I saw him standing outside. And the one who bought things over there, the one who bought the pink clothes of hairpins, isn't she the maidservant girl in Princess Su'an's palace? Although I have never been to Princess Su'an, when I went to meet the prince before, a team of palace maids happened to pass by me, so I casually asked my father-in-law where these palace maids came from, and he told me that they were from Jinci Palace, and among them was the girl who bought hairpins. There is also a mother-in-law who has just been shopping near us, and she has already gone far away. That person is the emperor's man. When my father-in-law took me into the palace in my early years, I saw this grandmother. So, Yu Tzu-hyuk, there are so many that I happen to have seen in just the place where we stand, and who knows how many more there are on this street that I haven't seen? ”
Yu Cihe frowned and kept staring at Shang Ling, Shang Ling was a little weak-hearted and said, "What's wrong?" Am I saying something wrong? Still... Or did you do something wrong? ”
Yu Cihe shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to be really a genius, no wonder Shen Fan would recognize you as his adopted son." ”
"Huh?" Shang Ling was a little confused, "What... What do you mean? Yu Tzu-hyuk, are you praising me or scolding me? ”
"It's all there. So, tell us what you think, how do you want to hide yourself from these people? ”
"Hey, I have a way!" As he spoke, he took out a few veils and handed them to Yu Tzu-hyuk.
"Veil? Where did you get this? I didn't notice you buying anything along the way, did you? ”
"I took it from Ruolin a long, long time ago, when Ruolin didn't need a veil anymore, so I asked her for a few, saying that I would definitely use it in the future. No, what do I say, I use it, right? Or am I more prescient. ”
Yu Cihe took a light blue veil, Shang Ling picked a darker one, and the two of them brought the veil on.
Yu Tzu Hyuk suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you sure that wearing a veil won't attract more attention?" ”
"No, no, no. There are a lot of veiled people on this street, and if you don't believe it, you'll go out and have a look. ”
"Okay, I'll believe you." As he spoke, Yu Tzu Hyuk turned his head away, leaving only a side face in front of Shang Ling's eyes.
"Hey, Yu Cihe, you..." Shang Ling was just looking down to sort out his clothes, and when he raised his head and saw Yu Cihe wearing a veil, he suddenly had a very familiar feeling in his heart. A scene from my childhood suddenly popped up in my mind.
———— ———— ————
"Father-in-law? Where are we going? Nine-year-old Shang Ling followed Shen Fan's side and asked secretly.
"To meet a very important person, but also a very powerful person."
"Is it the current emperor?" Shang Ling raised his face and looked at Shen Fan.
Shen Fan stopped and touched Shang Ling's head and said softly: "Shang Ling, when it's time to get down, what the emperor asks you, you have to think about it before you know?" And about your identity, you just say what your stepfather taught you before, understand? ”
"Rest assured, Shang Ling remembers." Shang Ling looked up at Shen Fan and grinned, then immediately returned to his previous serious appearance and half-bowed his head. There was an indescribable look in Shen Fan's eyes, but it was all fleeting. He turned around and continued to walk forward, and Shang Ling silently followed behind him.
"Your Majesty, the old slave brought people here." Listening to Shen Fan's voice, the emperor raised his head from the many twists and turns and looked at the little boy standing next to Shen Fan.
"Come, Shang Ling, come and see the emperor."
Shang Ling knelt down and saluted: "Shang Ling see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live." ”
"What's your name?"
Listening to the voice, Shang Ling secretly looked up at Shen Fan, who was standing next to the emperor, and lowered his head again and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the grass people's surname is Shang, the name is Ling, and the word is Chu Feng." ”
"Chu Feng? Who is your father? ”
"My father's name is Hai Linfeng."
"Since your father's name is Hai Linfeng, why is your surname Shang?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, my father has passed away, Shang Ling was raised by Lord Shen since he was a child, and if he recognizes Lord Shen as his father-in-law, he naturally has to obey all the arrangements of his father-in-law."
"That's fine, you didn't have to explore your parents when you were young. It would be good to grow up well by Lord Shen's side. ”
"Yes, Shang Ling knows."
The emperor looked back at Shen Fan and said, "It's okay if you want to accept him as a righteous son, after all, he has no father and mother when he is still young, and it is good to grow up with your care." ”
"Old slave, thank you, the emperor."
"The children are getting older, and it is inconvenient to live in the palace. There is a house in Xuzhou in the south, and I will reward you, so that this child can stay away from the court and live freely, which is the last thing I did for him. ”
When he left, Shang Ling walked beside Shen Fan and asked, "Father-in-law, does the emperor agree that I follow you?" ”
"Yes, the emperor rewarded you with a house, the location is a little remote but quiet, quite suitable for you."
"Father-in-law, that's what the emperor rewarded you."
"If it weren't for you, would the emperor still reward me? At the end of the day, it's for you. ”
"It's okay, mine is my father's."
Shen Fan stopped and looked at Shang Ling and said, "Shang Ling? Honestly, do you really want to follow your father-in-law? ”
Shang Ling also stopped and looked at Shen Fan and said, "Shang Ling really wants to follow his father-in-law. Father-in-law, you told me that my father and mother died in a fire, and that I was only six years old at that time, and that you had taken me from my adopted uncle's house to raise me secretly. ”
"Shang Ling, you are a sensible child. But in the future, the Father-in-law will have to make a choice, and it may be related to you. ”
Shang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, Shang Ling has a request. ”
"What request?"
"Shang Ling wants to ask his father-in-law to block all of Shang Ling's previous memories, so that his father-in-law won't think of Shang Ling when he does anything in the future. Shang Ling believed in his father-in-law, so he wanted to ask his father-in-law to make Shang Ling forget all the previous things and start over. ”
"Shang Ling..."Shen Fan seemed a little unbearable, "You really..."
Shang Ling said very firmly: "Shang Ling only has this one request, please fulfill it to my father-in-law." ”
"Good! Then I..." Before he finished speaking, Shen Fan saw a group of people walking towards them not far away, Shen Fan pulled Shang Ling to the side and whispered, "This is Princess Su'an, who is here to see the emperor." When they come, bow their heads and salute. ”
"I've seen Princess Su'an." When the group of people came over, Shang Ling followed Shen Fan and saluted.
"Get up." A very childish voice with a cold tone reached Shang Ling's ears. Shang Ling stood up and secretly turned his head to look at the people who came over. Dressed in blue, with a light blue veil on his face, the delicate hair ornament does not look very rich, but highlights the elegance of the wearer, although he only sees the side face, the face is also very exquisite. The pair of sad eyes on the veil that did not match his age made Shang Ling's heart tremble. Although there are many servant girls behind her, it is not commensurate with her temperament, more like a delicate flower that has been forcibly put next to a handful of dog tail grass, which makes people look very disobedient and a little uncomfortable. Shang Ling suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, watching the blue clothes go farther and farther, as if he was watching a touch of sadness fly farther and farther.
"Father-in-law, which mother in the palace is Princess Su'an's biological mother? The people behind her didn't seem to match the feeling she had in person. ”
"Princess Su'an's biological mother is Mrs. Yun, and the people behind her are all from Mrs. Yun's palace."
"She's supposed to be my age, but how do I feel she's not happy at all?"
"There are many rights and wrongs in the palace, maybe the innocence has been worn away at a young age."
"Father-in-law, I remember seeing Princess Su'an at the city gate before, and she didn't wear a veil at that time, why did she suddenly..."
"Princess Su'an had a serious illness not long ago, and now it seems that she should have recovered from a serious illness, so she came to see the emperor. Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll send you back, it's better not to stay here for long. ”
"Father-in-law, shall we go back to where we were?"
"Yes, in a few days, I will send someone to clean up the South Xuzhou side, and you will move over."
"Won't my father-in-law come and live with us?"
"The father-in-law also has to serve the emperor. Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of you over there in Nanxuzhou. ”
"Well, Shang Ling knows."
———— ———— ————
Shang Ling froze in place, repeating these fragments in his mind.
"It turns out that Uncle Liu came to take care of me? It turned out that I had asked for the memory to be sealed. It turned out to be myself. As he muttered these words, Yu Tzu Hyuk turned around and pushed him, "Hey! Shang Ling? What happened to you? What do you think? ”
"Memories will be blocked, but when one day in the future you encounter something that was once very profound, these memories will also be unlocked again." The old wizard's words echoed in Shang Ling's mind, "Profound memory. He looked up at Yu Cihyuk, and the girl with the light blue veil reappeared in Shang Ling's mind.
"Yu Tzu-hyuk? When did you start following Princess Su'an? ”
"Ten years old."
"Ten years old? How old are you and Princess Su'an? ”
"The princess should be a few months older than me, but Princess Su'an should have been ten years old when she rescued me. What's wrong? Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something. ”
"What's the matter? Does it have anything to do with princesses? ”
Shang Ling hesitated: "Yes, I suddenly remembered that when I was nine years old, I saw Princess Su'an in the palace. However, you only followed the princess when you were ten years old, so the princess was also nine years old at the time, so I didn't see you next to her at that time. ”
"That's it, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
"There's no problem, it's just that I always feel very strange, why can I suddenly think of Princess Su'an when I see you? The old wizard once told me that deep memories can unseal memories, could it be that Princess Su'an, who I only met once, was my deep memory? ”
"Maybe you were young at the time, and you remembered it more deeply when you first saw the princess. As for why I suddenly remembered the princess when I saw it, I guess the princess was wearing a light blue veil at that time. ”
Shang Ling nodded thoughtfully, "That's right." ”
Yu Cihe stretched out his hand and patted Shang Ling and said, "Okay, don't think about it, go to Nanyang Wangfu first, you don't want to sleep on the streets." ”
