Chapter Eighty-Five: The Mysterious Girl
The sound of rain outside the house was a little quieter, but it was still dripping.
Love Yao Xuan.
The two old men sat quietly in the courtyard, slowly sipping the tea in the teacup.
The rain kept falling.
Their bodies are dry and refreshing, and if you look closely, you know that when the raindrops fall on them, they will be silently bounced away by an inexplicable force.
The same goes for teacups.
Isn't that Yu Laodao and Yao Ying?
Yu Laodao drank tea slowly, and said lightly, "Yao Laowei, have you thought about the matter I said?" β
"What's the matter?" The medicine shadow gently tapped on the edge of the tea bowl and asked indifferently.
"Don't play dumb for my son!" Yu Laodao suddenly scolded angrily, "I'll talk to you seriously!" β
"Who do you call Lao Tzu?" Yaoying looked at him without showing weakness, "Oh, I remember, you mean the marriage between your apprentice and my apprentice?" β
"Yes," Yu Laodao nodded, "My apprentice is pretty good-looking!" It can be regarded as a beauty! At that time, the old man had to work hard to teach her! β
"Oh," said Yakage strangely, "is it as beautiful as the master of this courtyard?" β
"Can that be compared!" Yu Lao Dao was furious, "A person running around! How can you be more beautiful than a lady?! β
Yao Ying waved his hand, "Forget it, didn't you see that the master of this courtyard likes to pester my apprentice?" β
Yu Laodao said speechlessly, "Aren't you two apprentices?" What about the other? β
Yao Ying suddenly thought of something, and was silent in thought.
Before, there was a very familiar aura in the courtyard, but it was only a flash, and I thought it was my own illusion.
As soon as Yu Laodao said this, he remembered that the breath was not Ye Shuqiu's, it was Ye Liangbei's, his grandson's!
Strange thing, why did that kid run around and come to this northern capital Mufu? Don't......
Forget it, don't bother to care about him, anyway, he won't be in any danger alone, just curious, why does he have a faint fragrance of grass and trees?
How did Ye Liangbei know that his master and grandfather had already discovered him, and he was still comforting Mu Xiyuan.
What kind of grass and wood, it is just the fragrance of books on Mu Xiyuan's body.
No one thought of it, no one thought of it.
It was such a misunderstanding.
"Crooked! What do I ask you?! Yu Laodao was a violent temper, "You speak!" β
"I'm thinking! You shut up! The medicine shadow alerted him, "Be careful with your medicine!" Otherwise, I won't practice! β
Yu Laodao could only sit down helplessly, and muttered in his mouth, "Ma De, I know how to threaten Lao Tzu with this sentence......"
Besides, Mu Xiyao and the others arrived at the palace with Mu Junlan, and none of them expected that behind the carriage, they quietly followed a person-
After waiting and sitting down, I looked at the food and wine in front of me, but I couldn't move.
The people haven't arrived yetβ
"What's going on?" Mu Xiyao asked Mu Xijun beside her softly.
Mu Xijun was happy in her heart, and the little sister was finally willing to talk to herself!
He said softly, "I don't know where the prince is, everyone is seated, but the prince is gone." β
Mu Xiyao frowned slightly, what was this prince doing at the beginning of Xia?
According to her seniority, she should be called Uncle Prince in private, but ...... At the beginning of the summer, she had to force her to call her brother...... This...... Isn't this a mess of generations?
It's weird......
The officials were also whispering.
"What did the emperor do?" Emperor Xia was also a little impatient to wait.
"Back to the emperor, I heard that he went to find the master in the palace," the queen said softly.
"It's getting more and more unruly!" Emperor Xia was slightly angry, he gently knocked on the porcelain cup in front of him, "Has he forgotten that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?!" β
"The emperor is angry," the queen gently stroked his back, "You see, all the officials are a little anxious, why don't we start first!" One less of him is also irrelevant, and it is not clear when he will be back. β
"I heard that ......" Emperor Xia was still knocking on the edge of the cup like that, "that master is a beauty?" β
"Back to the emperor, yes!"
"Maybe ......" Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something, "Then so be it!" Tell the palace maid to go down and let me know! The feast begins! β
The party began to be lively.
Anyway, what did you do at the beginning of summer?
Under the eaves, a man and a woman stood quietly side by side.
"There shouldn't be a moon tonight," the man whispered.
"Yes, but, your Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you, still, are you going, aren't you?" The girl's voice was very pleasant.
The man looked at the girl and said lightly, "The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is very important, but I still want to accompany you, Master." β
The girl smiled lowly, then looked up and said, "How can I be virtuous?" Chu'er, you should go, everyone is waiting for you over there. β
"Don't call me Chu'er!" Xia Chu said angrily, "I've grown up! I can protect you! Master! I'm not the same little junior who has been running after you! β
The girl still laughed in a low voice, "Don't forget your identity, you are the prince of this northern capital, the prince!" And I'm just your master! β
"Shall we not talk about this for now?" Xia Chuchu sighed and looked at the girl beside him, "Master, you are still the same as before, and you are still so beautiful......"
"No matter how beautiful it is, it can't be as beautiful as the crown princess in your heart," the girl's laughter like a yellow oriole surrounded the ears of the early summer.
Xia Chu's eyes darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "She...... He's dead. β
"Dead..... Is it? The girl was stunned and smiled a little wryly, "I'm sorry, it seems that I mentioned your sadness." β
"It's okay...... Xia Chu lowered his head, then twisted his neck and moved his body, "If she dies, the prince can only find the princess again." β
The girl looked at him in surprise, "You, don't you guard her?" Or is it empathy? β
"It's just a dead man," Xia Chu said coldly, "I will avenge her, but I will not delay my whole life for the sake of a dead man." β
"You're really cool," the girl said lightly, looking at her slender fingers, "You are still the little junior I knew at the beginning, and you haven't changed." β
"Anyway," Xia Chu asked her, "Master, you stand like this every night, who are you waiting for?" β
Who am I waiting for......
The girl was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "I...... No one waited, no one, won't come......"
"Then why have you been in this palace for more than ten years?" Xia Chu smiled, "I remember, you just have a good look, don't you?" β
The girl seemed a little annoyed, "Don't you know, it's disrespectful to say that the lady's age is?!" β
"I know," he nodded, "why don't you go out and have a look?" β
"I ......" The girl choked speechlessly, lowered her head slightly, and whispered, "I've been in the place for a long time, and I'm familiar with it, and I don't want to run around anymore, I'm afraid...... As soon as I run, it will be a sea of vicissitudes...... I'm familiar, I'm not familiar...... It's gone......"
"Master," Xia Chu gently grasped the girl's long hair, "Do you know what Prince Ben has always liked about you?" β
"Ahem," the girl blushed slightly, "you are so disrespectful!" Flirt with your master! You've been grabbing my long hair for more than a decade! β
"If it weren't for her...... Xia Chu's voice paused, "The position of the crown princess should be yours...... But.... I'm afraid... I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, I'm afraid that everyone will be ruined, I'm afraid that if you're gone, you won't come back......"
His lips slowly moved closer to her face......
"Xiao Chu'er, you have grown up, and you should be sensible," the girl said softly, but slowly closed her eyes, "Remember, for what you did, responsible for ....."
The lips, gently, touched togetherβ
For a long time, the lips parted-
"Alright, go back," the girl whispered, "don't worry, if you don't go, I won't leave, of course, if you want to be with me forever...... Then you need, give up, your current glory and wealth, you, have you thought about it? β
Xia Chu paused, clenched his hands tightly, and slowly let go.
His Adam's apple moved, but he didn't make a sound.
Thinking of something, when he wanted to open his mouth, he was gently covered by the girl, "What are you going to say, I understand, you are still unwilling to give up now, after all, you are the prince, it is not easy to get to this position, it's okay, Master, you can wait......"
"Thank you! Jing'er! Xia Chu hugged her tightly in his arms, "If I take the throne, you will be the queen!" If I fail! I'll go away with you! β
The girl snuggled into his arms, gently sniffed the unique breath of his hair, slowly closed her eyes, and said softly, "I don't need your oath, the oath is all used to violate, I just want you, okay, it's fine...... Don't leave me alone anymore..... Promise me, okay? β
"I ....." Xia Chu's eyes were red, and no tears flowed, "I promised......"
"Don't be in a hurry to agree," the girl whispered like the wind, "I said, oaths are used to break them, I just want you to be good when the time comes, appear in front of my eyes, no matter success or failure, you will always be my little junior ......"
"In this world, only you understand me!" Xia Chu's heart was a little panicked, "Okay! I'll take care of myself! Master, you promise me! You're going to be good too! β
The girl slowly pushed him away, "Okay, Master will also take care of himself, I'm waiting for the day you return!" β
"Wait for me!"
"Huh," the girl looked at the sky, and Qianqiansu stretched out her hand out of the eaves.
"Be careful! Cold! Xia Chu suddenly became nervous and hurriedly reached out.
"Little fool," the girl shook his hand, "the rain has stopped, you should go back quickly, you are hungry, Master, I will be distressed." β
"What about you?" Xia Chu couldn't bear to leave alone, "You go with me!" β
The girl shook her head, "No, I'll just go out to eat by myself, I know you, I care about Master, but you have to pay attention to your own identity!" You're the prince now! β
Xia Chu hugged her again, "Don't be wronged!" I know! I'll be with you tomorrow night! β
"Okay, you goβ"
