Chapter 236: Reluctant to Sorrow and Half Drunk (3)
Xi'er has had a good physique since she was a child, and later she was sent to Fuyu Mountain to practice with a famous teacher, and she has a certain foundation for mastering the exercises of the Fire Spirit line.
Mu Chen is strict with her in major matters, but he doesn't care about her small fights on weekdays. Therefore, when this little emperor was in the palace, from time to time she flicked a few sparks at the birds, or forced the guards to make two moves with her, and everyone did not persuade her, and let her go.
Ever since Yuxiu began to officially cultivate her divine powers, Xi'er began to "provoke" from time to time, teasing her to fight him and compare their respective strengths.
Although Yuxiu is younger than Xi'er, her temperament is much calmer, and she always avoids it, and takes a detour when she is in a hurry. He is very agile and fast, once he turns around, Xi'er can't catch up, and over time, he gradually gives up the idea of fighting him.
But this time, Xi'er went to Fuyu Mountain for a three-year retreat. During this period, she felt that her skills had improved greatly, and while she was complacent, it was just her turn to have a break once a year and the opportunity to go home to show off, so she naturally didn't want to keep a low profile.
She pulled Yuxiu, who had followed her from the forest, to a clearing and said to him, "Just now the female official told me that my father will come to see me when he returns to the palace after finishing his business. You usually practice with him, you must know more about his preferences, do you think, do I control the gold casting fire to look more powerful, or do I directly roll out the flowing flame to look better? ”
As he spoke, he showed off his newly learned skills and looked at Yuxiu with joy.
Yu Xiu stood under a pear tree, staring at Xi'er with a blank face, striking left and right, burning the surrounding flowers and plants to wither instantly.
"It's not good."
Xi'er put away her posture, puzzled, "It's all bad?" ”
Yuxiu said "um", "It's too weak." ”
Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and then became angry.
"Where is it weak? I can roll out the flames! Why do you say weak! ”
Yuxiu saw that she was angry, and decisively decided not to bother anymore, turned around and left.
Xi'er felt that this kid was extraordinarily arrogant and despised herself today, and in her anger, she knew that she would definitely not be able to catch up with him, so she didn't know where the ruthlessness came from, and with a wave of her hand, she threw a string of flowing flames at Yuxiu's back.
Yuxiu sensed the attack from behind very keenly, and quickly jumped sideways to avoid it, and then turned around, and raised a beautiful fiery flame vortex in his right hand, which dissolved Xi'er's flowing flames in an instant.
The Flame Vortex is one of the best attacks in the Fire Technique, and at Yu Xiu's age, it is incredible that he can perform such a move!
Xi'er's eyes widened, and she stood in place for a long time, her emotions that had been hidden for many years suddenly surged and exploded, and she suddenly raised her eyes and plucked Yuxiu, "What are you dragging?" ”
A sentence came out, but his mouth became more and more deflated, "These tricks of yours are not all taught to you by my father!" ”
From childhood to adulthood, his father always left the best for Yuxiu.
Let him stay by his side, but he will go to Fuyu Mountain. He was taught in person, but he had to worship the master himself. If he is naughty and gets into trouble, he will inevitably be reprimanded, and that kid does something wrong, but he just touches his head and says, "It's okay".
is obviously his cousin, but he actually changed his surname and entered the royal family, and everyone in the palace respected him very respectfully.
What is this?
Is it because she is a girl that she is not favored by her father?
The more Xi'er thought about it, the more angry she became, seeing that Yuxiu still had a cold, painless expression, she felt even more aggrieved, and took a few steps forward and said to him, "Don't you think it's amazing?" Think you're better than me, think my father prefers you? But no matter how much he likes you, he is not your father! He's mine, mine! Your father is long dead, dead! ”
Xi'er is not a bad-hearted child, and she is an emperor who has been taught and raised under strict court etiquette since she was a child, even if she is coquettish and nonsense, she actually knows the limits in her heart, and she will not do anything too much or say anything too harshly, but at the moment, somehow, she just wants to make Yuxiu sad, and she just wants him to taste the bitter grievances in his heart as if he was abandoned!
Yuxiu is also very unpleasant to see Xi'er today.
In the past, I only thought she was a little annoying, but in the huge palace, only the two of them were of the same age and similar status, so they could be said to be each other's only playmates, as long as Xi'er didn't make trouble, he was still very willing to follow her and play some games that only children would appreciate.
But the way Xi'er was lying in Qing Ling's arms just now really made him unhappy, and now his words undoubtedly stabbed him fiercely.
So without warning, the pear tree next to the two of them quickly stretched its branches and blocked Xi'er layer by layer, and a not weak force attacked from behind her at the same time. Xi'er suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, and couldn't help but cry out in a panic.
Reaching out and pressing it, I only felt that the warm blood was oozing out quickly!
Yuxiu also realized that she had caused a big disaster, and hurriedly put away her offensive, but she refused to show half of her emotions on her face, stared at Xi'er coldly, turned around and ran away.
Xi'er covered her shoulders and ran back to Qingling and Shiyin to complain.
Shiyin instructed her entourage to ask for a royal doctor, while inspecting Xi'er's injuries.
The sleeves of her coat were cut by branches, and the heaviest part of her shoulder was wounded by a blade of earth.
Xi'er complained with tears: "He suddenly summoned the branch to entangle me, and then injured me from behind, I can't hide from ......"
Shiyin comforted Xi'er, "It doesn't matter, the wound is not deep at all." He raised his head as if to explain to Qingling, and said, "Yuxiu also cultivates the five spirits." In addition to following His Majesty to learn the fire system exercises, there are also masters in the forbidden army who teach the other four systems of cultivation methods, but in comparison, these systems of exercises are still very unproficient, "Turn to Xi'er, "Your wound is really nothing, good boy, don't cry." ”
An Huaiyu also hurriedly came over to check Xi'er's injury, and coaxed her with good words.
At this time, I saw Mu Chen walking in this direction from a distance under the guidance of the inner servant.
Su Qin and another palace concubine, who were still standing on the side, immediately surrounded Xi'er when they saw this, and each took out the most gentle and loving expressions and words to comfort the crying child in all directions. Concubine Qin quickly tidied up her clothes, bit her lower lip slightly until her lips were just the right amount of red, and then greeted her as if she suddenly found Mu Chen's arrival, and explained the truth in a delicate and worried tone.
Qing Ling looked around, but he didn't see Yuxiu's figure.
She crossed the concubines who surrounded Xi'er and hurriedly walked in the direction of the Chengji Palace.
When passing by Mu Chen, who was lightly supported by Concubine Qin's arm, Qing Ling only bent his knees slightly and greeted: "Your Majesty", but the person left without raising his head.
Concubine Qin had never seen anyone so rude in front of His Majesty, and for a while she forgot where she had said, and turned her head to look at Qing Ling's back blankly.
Mu Chen's expression was unfazed, his gaze was also unchanged, but the steps under his feet involuntarily stopped.
Qingling traveled all the way to the Chengji Palace.
She heard from the palace people that Yuxiu was raised by Mu Chen himself, and she has been living in the side hall of the Chengji Hall since she was a child.
Therefore, when Ah Jing came to the Chengji Hall to kneel and beg, the child would see it and know what his mother had done......
He asked Ah Jing to be sent back, does it mean that he doesn't approve of his mother, and even thinks what she did is terrible?
The courtyard outside the side hall has been renovated, many flowers, grasses, mountains and stones have been removed, and a large open space has been opened up, where arrow targets, human-shaped piles and other objects are placed, and under the tall fragrant tree, there is also a five-spirit gown used by a god child to practice.
Qingling remembered the days when Yuxiu moved to live with him, because he had no experience as a mother, and he didn't know much about what the little boy needed, so he only followed his previous preferences, let people keep bringing all kinds of food, or let the maid take him to the garden to catch butterflies.
However, Yuxiu neither likes to eat snacks nor catch butterflies.
Qing Ling then thought, why is this kid so weird......
However, in this world, there are never eccentric children, and some are just parents who have never made an effort to understand their children.
When I entered the inner hall, I saw that the four places were very elegantly arranged. Under the window is a lyre, and on the shelves against the wall are neatly arranged with all kinds of books and silk scrolls, and occasionally dotted with small pots of precious orchids. On the table where I sat was a chess game, as if I had stopped halfway through the game.
Qing Ling waved his hand to let the palace maid in the hall retreat, opened the curtain by himself, and walked into the inner bed.
Yuxiu sat on the windowsill, leaning against the window frame, looking down and reading a book in her hand.
He raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and looked at Qing Ling for a moment, and both of them were stunned.
Qing Ling was in trouble when he was a child, either he hid in the begonia bush with his head in his head, or he hugged his master's thigh and begged for mercy.
Yuxiu didn't expect that the first person to come to find her was actually her mother.
He put away the book, jumped off the windowsill, and saluted the green spirit in a proper manner.
Qing Ling cleared her throat and asked, "Why did you hurt Xi'er?" ”
Yuxiu was silent for a while, then raised her head, "I injured someone." What does my mother want to punish me? ”
Qing Ling stared at the child in front of him with delicate and beautiful facial features, but his expression was indifferent and cold, and he sighed in frustration for a while.
She pulled him to sit down on the edge of the couch and said, "I'm not here to punish you. I'm just wondering, what the hell is going on? ”
Yuxiu looked at her mother's hand, half-hung her head, and asked softly, "Is it really not punished?" Doesn't my mother like Sister Hexi very much? I've hurt her now, and you're not liking it even more, right? ”
Qing Ling was a little speechless.
"You kid...... How to ......"
She squeezed the child's soft little hand, and a string in her heart was gently touched, bringing out a wisp of soreness and soreness.
She really loves Xi'er.
When Xi'er was born, she hugged her. When you are a baby, it is even more intimate. Later, when Qingling was pregnant with Yuxiu, her mood was at its lowest and decadent, it was also Xi'er's childlike laughter that brought her the most innocent comfort.
And also......
Luo Yao also hugged her.
I always remember that in the Yanfei Hall in the Yinzhou Palace, he held Xi'er and discussed the new policy with him seriously, explaining why he wanted to fight for Daze's military power.
At that time, he wore a light purple and blue shirt, a plain hairpin with mutton fat and white jade in his hair, and occasionally lowered his eyes to look at Xi'er's eyes soft and quiet.
While she doubted what he said, she looked at him dressed leisurely and holding a baby in her arms, and secretly thought in her heart, feeling that he really looked like he was living a little at home......
If it weren't for his own sake, he wouldn't have gotten involved in court battles, wouldn't have led the army into battle, and wouldn't have fallen into endless danger.
And at that time, I still didn't want to believe it......
Qingling hugged Yuxiu into his arms.
"Silly boy," she murmured, her tone choking up suddenly, "you're such a silly boy, just as stupid as your father......"
