Chapter 272: The Story of the Stars
The night was deep, and the bonfire reflected far away in the dark night, and the two people who were sitting quietly next to them couldn't help but get bored after being silent for a long time.
After eating, Xingya finally turned around and secretly glanced at the person next to him, but saw him looking up at the sky and secretly distracted,
Sensing her gaze, Zhao Xian deceived his head and asked with a smile, "Miss Xingya, have you eaten enough?" ”
Xingya nodded slightly, but Lilac's little tongue involuntarily licked her lips, although it was not easy to say it, the meaning was obvious.
It seems that my appetite is too delicious, and too, how can a rabbit be enough for two adults. Zhao Xian turned over and got up, grinning and said, "Okay, I'll go find a rabbit again......"
"No need, no need...... Xingya heard that he was going to kill innocent little animals again, and immediately became anxious, waving his hand again and again to refuse: "It's better to eat too much to gain weight and gain the impression of the majesty of the Son of Heaven." ”
This excuse is also special, Zhao Xian saw that she insisted on refusing, so he had no choice but to give up, and asked instead: "Now that you are full, where do you want to go?" ”
Xingya was silent for a long time, but let out a faint sigh, raised her eyes to the sky, and muttered: "I don't want to go there, I just want to see the stars here,"
Looking at the stars? Zhao Xian was surprised, and asked with a smile: "The name you gave yourself also has the word star in it, it seems that you like stars very much!" ”
"Yes" Xingya nodded slowly, suddenly became interested, turned to look at him and said, "I'll tell you a story!" ”
Zhao Xian nodded, anyway, he was idle and bored, and it was not bad to listen to her tell stories.
Xingya sat upright, raised her head to look at the sky, and said seriously: "This story was told to me by my female tutor Chrissy when I was studying in the West......"
"Female teacher? Isn't it pretty? "Zhao Xian's nature is difficult to change, and it sounds interesting, so he answered the ghost.
Xingya's little face suddenly darkened, and she said angrily: "You said it? Blonde and blue-eyed exotic beauties, you can hook your eyeballs off, but they are far away. Don't say it's you. I've never seen her again in my life. "Since she was a child, she has traveled around the world, and her feelings for teachers and friends outside are far deeper than those in her hometown.
Zhao Xian sneered: "I can't help it." Beside oneself. Okay, let's not talk about that. Keep telling the story! ”
Miss Xingya snorted faintly. Re-brewed his emotions, sat on the big stone with his knees hugged, and said slowly: "According to legend. A long, long time ago, there was an ancient country where the king had a very beautiful daughter named Yayu, who was the dream girl of many princes. She didn't like those princes, because no one could enter her heart when she was most lonely. Every night, she looked up at the sky and prayed to the heavens, and over time, she found the brightest star in the sky, secretly watching her! ”
Listening to a girl's love story is really torture! Zhao Xian propped his chin and pretended to be very attentive.
Xingya paused for a moment and continued: "Since then, Princess Yayu has appeared in her dreams every night with a handsome prince, chatting with her and being happy with her, but always forced to separate when the early hours of the morning come. ”
Looking at the stars in the sky, she sighed softly: "The beautiful princess is full of reluctance to which mysterious prince and wants him to stay by her side forever, but the prince painfully tells her that he is the star in the sky and can only appear at night. Even so, they fell deeply in love with each other, even if they could only see each other in their dreams. However, over time, the supreme god found out about it, restricted the prince's freedom, and never appeared in the princess's dream again. ”
"And then?" Zhao Xian felt that it was still a little interesting when he heard it, and he couldn't help but ask.
Xingya sighed lightly and continued, "Then, the beautiful princess was heartbroken by this, and found the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, and asked the wizard to help her find the former prince. The sorcerer told her: your prince is the son of God and will be crowned king in the future, and you are only a princess in the mortal world, you are not his only one, so he cannot accompany you forever. The princess asked: What should I do? I can't leave him. The wizard said: He is the brightest star in the sky, and you can only give up everything you have and become a dim one among thousands of stars, and you can be with him forever. Maybe one day, he'll find out about you! ”
Give up everything, but can only be one of his thousands of stars? Zhao Xian opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.
Xingya sighed softly and muttered, "The princess understands that she is not his only one, and she is heartbroken about it, but she still gives up everything without hesitation and turns into one of the thousands of stars in the sky. You know, which prince? How did you choose? ”
Hearing the inquiry, Zhao Xian turned his head, but saw that her eyes were shining with tears, staring at her. He stiffened slightly, touched his nose and said, "Hmm...... The last prince who found the princess? The two are excited to live together? "Ordinary love stories, don't they all end like this?
"It's not!" Xingya stared at him, shook her head slowly, and said, "Which handsome prince, after being restricted from freedom, came to the front of God and begged: Father, please return the princess to me, even if it is just to meet you." God said, "You are my son, and you will inherit all that I have in the future." The prince said, "I only want my princess, even if only to see each other." God said, "When you return to your princess, you have to give up everything you have and become a mortal with nothing, and after you become her people, will your princess still love the ordinary you?" Without the slightest doubt, the prince nodded lightly and returned to the mortal world without hesitation. ”
"Huh?!" Zhao Xian was dumbfounded, and listened to her for a long time, but he didn't expect this to be the result, the two of them changed positions by mistake, and it was too miserable!
Xingya looked at the stars in the sky and said quietly: "Since then, the prince has become an ordinary farmer in the mortal world, looking up at the sky every night, even if there are tens of thousands of stars, he can always find the princess at first sight. Because, no matter how many stars there are, there is only that special star staring at him......"
Zhao Xian's heart is strange, a lover can't end up married, it should be the most painful thing! He shook his head and sighed, "Which prince and princess regret it, right?" They just need one to give up everything to be able to be together......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Xian was stunned again, and turned his eyes to look at the girl from Northern Qi, but saw that she was also looking at him.
Zhao Xian realized, but he looked away and didn't say any more.
"Why should they regret it?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xingya showed a few smiles, looked at the many stars in the world, and muttered: "Whether the princess becomes a star or the prince becomes a mortal, the one who gives everything for love will eventually become another person's appendage." And now, they have simply swapped places, but they have all become each other's only, looking up at the starry sky, staring with both eyes, whether it is the sea of stars in the world or the sea of people on the ground, there is only you and me in their eyes, is it perfect? ”
Looking back gently, Xingya stared at Zhao Xian deeply, and said softly: "Do you have to be together in love?" I don't think so, it's enough to know that they love each other, even if they are separated from heaven and earth, their hearts will always be together. Zhao Xian, do you say? Tears glistened in my eyes, as if I was immersed in a poignant story.
Being stared at by those eyes, Zhao Xian actually felt a sense of restlessness, patted his clothes and got up, and said embarrassedly: "What's that...... The story is good, so that's how you got your name...... It's too dark at night, so why don't I send you back......"
There was silence for a long time, but the man looked away from him.
Taking a deep breath, Xingya suddenly laughed, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said proudly, "How is it?" My story is good, isn't it? My husband, like the star, must have treated me as the only one, even if he gave up everything he had to become my people...... It's a pity that I can't learn which princess, who made me not a princess now, but an empress... Zhao Xian, you can call me Su Xiangning in the future! The name Xingya... Suddenly I don't like it......"
The words were closed, the two seemed to be speechless, Zhao Xian nodded lightly, and took her to walk slowly among the trees, and rushed to the riverside a few miles away. Strangely enough, the road has become so long and dreary that it seems to never end... (To be continued......)
