Chapter 92: The Religion of Unteachable
His Majesty hugged her arms, and there was a little green snake pinned to her arms, and she hummed angrily.
"The queen mother has been cold and indifferent to me these days."
The national teacher stepped forward and came to His Majesty's side. She continued to say softly to His Majesty: "Your mother feels that she spoiled you too much in the past, and you will not grow up. You always have to be on your own, and you have to understand her painstaking efforts. Someday, you too will have a family and children of your own. That's when you understand why your mother is being harsh. β
The people down there aren't stupid, they can see what's going on. What's more, the Queen Mother is not such an unreasonable and vicious person at a glance. When the cubs grow up, they have to leave the nest, and if they don't want to, the mother's will fight each other and beat the child away. Without this, they will never survive on their own. This gave them a very bad signal: the Queen Mother naturally knew that her health had always been poor and that her condition was getting worse. She may have seized the opportunity to wake up this time to say something to her children and to the travelers who are looking for a lover for her.
"I'm not going to get married." His Majesty twisted his body with the green snake in his arms, as if in protest, "I want to be with my mother and brother all the time." β
Brother? Bai Ya glanced up at her.
"She's talking about her little wood carving."
The national teacher smiled sweetly, as if he expected his gaze, and the eyes of the two sides collided directly.
"This kid doesn't always grow up." The Queen Mother slowly took two steps forward and said helplessly, "During her 100-day banquet, a craftsman carved two puppets, one large and one small. The big one is our little prince, and the small one is her, who is held in her brother's arms. The wood carving is inlaid with two magnets that draw them together. Later, the small one was lost, and she kept holding the big one and didn't let go. Alas, it's already such a big child, how can it still be ......"
"Do you want to, why don't I come and see if I can make a copy of the same piece again?"
People are flesh and blood, and after listening to this short story, Qi Huan wanted to help as much as he could.
"It's useless. We found a lot of people, as well as the previous craftsman, and no matter how much she imitated it, she said no. This kid always admits death...... Forget it, let's stop talking about it. You have been recommended by Lord Xiangshen and have come from afar, and I should thank you very much. The child's brother is gone, but her father ...... I knew she was going to grow up, and she shouldn't have to rely on someone who hadn't been heard from in years. I also know that maybe when he comes back, I won't make it to that point. β
"What are you talking about......" Jun Aoyan didn't want her to think so.
It wasn't long before they were invited to dinner. Those local dishes with unique tastes have begun to get used to them a little bit by now. Throughout the dinner, the Queen Mother was so calm and gentle, she was not so shouting to her subordinates, she would only call loudly, but she would be gentle to anyone at any time. Occasionally, she spoke a little harsher to His Majesty. The little girl's laughter became less, and she did not dare to speak back. However, they all know that His Majesty does not hate his mother, she just hopes that the gentle mother in the past can come back.
During the banquet, Bai Ya always focused on the national teacher. She didn't eat much, probably the gods drank dew. Most of the time, the god of song also remained silent, but always hung the same layer of unchanged smile in Bai Ya's eyes, a little fake smile, echoing the queen mother.
After the dinner, His Majesty still had homework to do, and she reluctantly let the maid lead her to the study. The tables were cleaned up, and the lamps were removed a few times, making them appear slightly dim, but still enough to illuminate the hall. Most of the maids were also sent away, and only a few were on standby.
Under the no longer so bright light, the shallow smile of the Queen Mother was also clouded with a thin shadow.
"Do you know what my surname is now?"
The Queen Mother suddenly asked. They have learned from the god of incense, know His Majesty's name, and also know the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother's name is Qiu Ruoyun, but it is rude to call His Holiness by his name anywhere, of course they know it.
Qi Huan reacted the fastest, and he replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, dare to ask, is it autumn?" β
"Since Your Majesty is not here, you don't need to be so restrained. Our etiquette is not as cumbersome as it used to be. The Queen Mother adjusted her posture, relaxed slightly, and leaned back in her chair, "You are right." But who of you knows what his surname was when the horse was there? β
"No, I don't know......," Qi Huan scratched his head, "I'm sorry, we don't know much about the terroir of this place." β
"It doesn't matter. I'll tell you, it's summer. β
Jun Aoyan said casually: "It's all the season." "Bobo
"yes. I don't know if this national fortune is also the same as the surname, and it is about to usher in winter. β
"Well, you don't have to think so......"
"Your Majesty, your real name is Xia Weiyu." The Queen Mother said to herself, "In the third year of her father's disappearance, he changed his name to Qiu Weiyu. The little prince's real name is Xia Weiyan. It's just that the kid didn't have a chance to change. β
She said this with ease, as if it were really a long time ago. Did she put it down? She said she didn't really care if her husband could come back. Even if he returns, the throne will still be his daughter's. Maybe after so many years, she herself is tired. We can't go too far in the way of working people and hurting money.
"I sometimes wonder if I'm still healthy and hopeful?" She smiled, "Maybe I'll lead the team myself." It's just that I thought again, if nothing happened to my body, this throne would not be the turn of Ah Yu's head. The succession was still suggested by the national teacher, and I listened to her. β
Kinnara narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth curled a little more.
"You still have a lot of time, why are you putting the burden on Arabic so early?"
"If the crown is not on her head, she will not know how much it weighs. It's always me who protects her, and she doesn't care. I know this child very well, compared to her brother Ayan, she is not suitable to be the king of a country. But it can't be ...... I thought, since there is also a national teacher to assist, it is good. I can also teach more while I am still around. By the time I'm sick, immobile, confused, it's too late. The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day, I am sick, but I hang the throne, and it is only a matter of time before the world is in turmoil. At the end of the day, many people are dissatisfied with women riding on their heads. β
The Queen Mother lives a very transparent and sober life. At least for now. They nodded frequently, but no one refuted.
"Ah, don't you want to see that doll?"
"Huh, is it convenient?"
The Queen Mother didn't speak, and the national teacher clapped her hands. The maid on the side came up and placed a large empty plate on the table, covered with a red cloth. The cloth is flat, and the national teacher pinched the central part, and suddenly threw it upward, and there was an extra wood carving on the plate. Although they knew that it was some kind of teleportation spell, they were somewhat surprised that it was so sudden.
She pushed the plate forward, facing Qi Huan, who pressed it in front of him, and then picked it up. The wood carving is half a small arm long, and the lacquer on it has long been mottled and peeled off, and only traces of shallow paint can be seen. There are many layers of pigment, and I may have patched it up a few times, but for some reason I don't patch it up now. The arms of the wood carving are circled in a circle, and the inside is empty, which should have originally placed the wood carving in the shape of His Majesty as a baby. Qi Huan stretched out his finger and touched the nest, realizing that there was indeed a magnet embedded in it. But there is no trace of cracking on the outside of the wood carving, I don't know how to put it in, it is really a miracle.
This figure is indeed exquisitely carved, but it has been bumped and bumped for too long, and the wear and tear is so severe that even the face cannot be seen clearly. Its face is the most blurred, and it must have been touched lightly by His Majesty with his little finger for countless nights, quietly smoothing out all traces.
The farther you go, the more you should travel lighter. The national teacher said that this was an old saying of the Nine Heavens, and they didn't know if it was nonsense, anyway, they walked down the mountain on their feet, and no one even prepared a carriage or horse. When they actually came here, they immediately realized that it was not that simple. The mountain range is high and treacherous, and it is a natural barrier that even winged birds cannot overcome. It is no wonder that the national teacher did not allow the carriage and horses to be prepared, and the Queen Mother did not refute it.
The road into the mountain was trodden out of one, which was thin and long, and the slope was also very large. This place is so steep that even wild beasts have no place to stand, but it has become a paradise for many rare herbs. In neighboring countries and regions, there will always be many brave people who venture up to the mountains to collect medicine and exchange it for money. If this is a misstep and falls down the mountain, the corpse will not know what hidden place it will be stuck, and the rats and eagles will gnaw it. This hidden statement suddenly sounds less mysterious.
"Is this really the way to go?"
Qi Huan still doesn't believe in evil. This has to go from here, there is a road in front of you, and it is difficult to say in the deep mountains and old forests. It is said that the mountain peak was reached, and there was a huge, bottomless rift. It is rumored that the rift valley was formed by the tengu dividing the mountain in two. When I climbed up, I didn't know how to cross the deep valley and how to go down from the other side.
"Go around as much as you want. If you go around again, you have to go through the swamp of the python god. β
Bai Ya put down such a sentence and walked up without looking back. If time permits, no one minds taking long detours. But I don't know if the horse master is dead or alive, will he die just because they drink more saliva and sleep more; Second, the swamp is not necessarily how safe it is, after all, they are lucky to have someone to lead the way, otherwise they will be buried by the old horses one by one; Three, that's the time limit before winter.
The mountain road is very dangerous, and some of the places where you settle are not as big as half a foot. After repeated friction and wind and rain by the predecessors, the stone steps and dirt roads have become too smooth, which makes people have to show twelve points of caution. It's still summer, and it stands to reason that they should feel unbearable hot flashes, just like they used to. But on the Moon Mountain, they didn't find the heat unbearable. It was the hottest before, so they had to rest after walking two steps. They don't feel very tired, they just feel a little tired, but because they can't take it lightly, they can be regarded as full of energy. When they were in a hurry, they had to sweat a little, but the strange thing was that as soon as they stopped to rest a little longer, they felt an indescribable cold. It's like a sweaty body blown by the wind, and it should be very cool. But there was no wind in the mountains, and they didn't feel coolβonly a strange cold.
This is the only way to feel the rare biting bones of summer when you stand in a mountain stream and soak your legs in the mountain spring. They hadn't climbed much yet, and the palace of the bird god was warmer than here.
There is something wrong with this mountain.
