Chapter 11: The Returning Uncle
There are still some days left before the period in the hermit letter. From the succession of the patriarch to the arrival of the hermit envoy to the Liuli Palace, it will be a long time. So my father put the matter aside for the time being.
On this day, Yuan Shui took the pivot to say goodbye to us. Xuan is the biggest suspect because of Yebaze's death Yuanshui, and he is a little unhappy to get along with Yuanshui.
Yuan Shui refused to leave Shu and go back alone, so he discussed with Shu about going back together. Outside the Liuli Palace, he smiled and said words of thanks, living in the Liuli Palace was very comfortable, and he was also very happy to see Shu's most beloved brother grow up. The expression was too sincere, and I felt that it was Yebaze's death that made him happier even more.
I'm still reluctant. As she waved goodbye to me, I turned my ring and gave her a silver cape. I think that the country of Musha has yellow sand all the year round, and the cloak can keep my sister out of the wind. And just like that, I watched the pivot leave me again. I watched her face fade into my eyes. I cried in my heart, just like I did when I was a child, but now, I can no longer shout: Don't take my sister's .......
On the third day of the cardinal absence, my father suddenly called me to the White Jade Palace.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the main hall, I saw a figure as tall as my father's, with long black hair scattered behind him, and the tips of the hair were slightly dark blue.
"Do you remember?"
"Hehehe, I always remember." , compared to my father, that person's voice is very gentle, I think, who should he be?
Father, this time I didn't eavesdrop, and walked in.
"Xiu, this is your uncle." Father introduced Uncle bluntly. There is no excessive verbal embellishment. The figure turned around.
I froze where I was. Light blue pupils, handsome outline and a face similar to my father's, no, he is even more handsome than my father, this is my uncle? I can't believe it, he is more beautiful than anyone in the Liuli Palace, the beauty is so stunning...... look down, his right hand..., how is it a broken arm? Before I could think about it, my uncle had already walked up to me:
"You are Xiu, the son of Shi." A broad voice rang in my ears, and I felt a thick, warm hand on my shoulder. I nodded. Seeing that I was speechless, he chuckled and said:
"Xiu, call me uncle." He looked at me steadfastly, as if waiting for me. I saw a hint of kindness in the pale blue pupils.
"Uncle." So, I saluted him respectfully.
My joy began to rejoice in the Hall of the Rising Sun, and I gladly told Xifeng that I had met my uncle, who made me feel kind except for Asher, and I described my uncle to Xifeng, starting with his name, Ke. Xifeng listened intently, his little wings fluttering on his back.
The next day, I couldn't wait to see my uncle, so I came to the central hall early and waited for him. I didn't see my uncle until everyone came, so I asked my father, where is my uncle? Father took a sip of the wine in his hand and said lightly, he is in his own hall and is not with us.
I don't understand, he has just returned, we should hold a banquet to meet him, when I said my thoughts, my father changed his face, and said to me sternly: "A person who has been in Fan Chi is not suitable to appear here, and he is not allowed to mention it in the future." ”
I was dumbfounded.
Later, at Asher's place, I learned about the "burning pool", which was a prison, and Asher refused to tell me exactly where it was. And let me stop asking in the future.
I decided to go and see my uncle anyway, and Xifeng told me that he lived in the Pleiades on the far right. So, I took my favorite Gyokuro cake and secretly went to the Pleiades Palace with Xifeng.
Before this, I didn't find that there was still this hall in the glass palace, and when I entered, I was full of all kinds of flowers, orchids, cloves, peonies, ....... There are very few jade ornaments. Uncle Ke was gathered among the flowers, bent down and busy. Doesn't he have a servant? I looked at Xifeng, who shook his head and said, I don't know.
"Uncle, Xiu has come to see you." I walked over and handed over the gyokuro cake.
My uncle took the pastry with his left hand, smiled at me, and told me to sit in the temple. In an instant, I saw the shadow of my father on his face, but he was much gentler than my father, and I didn't look like a man who had been bound for a hundred years. Just as I was about to raise my feet and enter the temple, my father's warning sounded in my ears: Don't get too close to Ke.
Therefore, I still listened to my father, put away the steps I was about to enter, and I told my uncle that I remembered that there were still parrots in the Shining Sun Palace that had not been fed, and I had to go back first. Uncle smiled, nodded and said yes. Say, next time remember to feed it and come again, so stay for a while.
Before leaving, my uncle gave me a flower that had not bloomed, and he said that the flower seeds that had been left in the past had not been tended to by no one when he was away, so they did not bloom. I took the flowers and said goodbye to my uncle.
Out of the Pleiades, I breathed a sigh of relief.
There are more and more doubts, what happened between my father and my uncle?
