Chapter 12 The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side

There will be a big party today, and Xiao Zhurong will give out awards to all the winners.

Early in the morning, Bei Shui dressed up and left with his attendants.

Xiao Liu refused to get up, but was picked up by Zhen Xuan and Ah Nian, after washing and eating, Zhen Xuan took Xiao Liu and A Nian to join in the fun.

Zhuan Xuan said to Xiao Liu: "Actually, the most fun part of the Chishui Autumn Tournament is the last day. When I first arrived, everyone was worried about the competition, no one was in the mood to play, and now that all the games are over, tomorrow we will embark on the journey home, just in time for a drinking party. ”

When he came to Chishui, Xiao Liu found that Zhen Xuan was really good.

The grass on the bank of Chishui is still green, like a long green carpet, and small white and yellow daisies are dotted on the carpet, walking along the riverbank, as if looking at a picture of all living beings.

Fat sheep were roasting on the bonfire, and jars of liquor were opened. It was just after noon, and some people were already drunk, they opened their robes and howled in the wind, some were racing and jumping into the red water, some were stroking and singing, some were hugging and crying, some were wrestling and fighting, and some were hiding in the shade of the trees and throwing dice and gambling. In the distance, a large group of people gathered in a circle, men and women mixed together, singing and dancing.

In order to celebrate the joy of the harvest, people gathered around to sing loudly, beat the beat with their hands, and danced to the rhythm of their feet. Gradually, the form of stepping song is becoming more and more extensive, when the moon is full, people will sing under the moon, and when they say goodbye, people will sing goodbye.

Xiao Liu and Zhen Yan squeezed into the crowd with Ah Nian, but they didn't expect to see Shennong Xinyue. Xinyue was clearly the leader of the women, with neat braids, narrow-sleeved shirts, and several female companions holding each other's hands, singing and dancing. The men who sang with them often stepped on the wrong beat, causing bursts of good-natured laughter.

Xinyue saw Zhuan, a smile overflowed on her lips, but there was provocation in her eyes, staring directly at Zhuan. I don't know who pushed it, and he was pushed into the team of stepping songs. He lived in the folk for many years, and singing was the best entertainment on summer nights, and on every moonlit night, a group of young men made an appointment to surround the beautiful girls in the village. That's how many of the partner's women come to sing. Zhen Yan smiled, and naturally followed the rhythm of the song, shaking his body, twisting his waist, swinging his hips, kicking his legs, and raising his hands. His singing voice is melodious, his posture is strong, his gait is graceful, and his every move exudes the most intense masculine beauty.

I don't know if they were squeezed by the crowd, or if both of them were interested, Zhen Xuan and Xinyue gradually sang face to face, and were surrounded by everyone in the center and became the lead dancers.

Xiao Liu was watching with relish, Ah Nian turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, Xiao Liu hurriedly chased Ah Nian out. Ah Nian rushed to the river and said angrily: "Shameless! What a shame! ”

Xiao Liu stood beside her, "Although the Shennong clan used to be the royal family of the Central Plains, it is now part of the people of Xuanyuan. The people of Xuanyuan are unrestrained and intense, Xinyue has lived in Xuanyuan City for decades, and it is normal for men and women to sing together. ”

Ah Nian turned around suddenly, wanting to say something, but Zhen ran over. When Ah Nian saw him, his face looked much better, but his tone was still annoyed, "I see that my brother is having a lot of fun, why don't you play?" ”

Zhen Xuan smiled indifferently, and Zhengse said, "No matter how fun it is, it's not as important as my sister's safety." ”

Ah Nian pursed the corners of his lips and laughed, and told Ah Nian and Xiaoliu: "There are many people here, you are not allowed to run around." ”

Xiao Liu nodded, the combination of her and Ah Nian was indeed too unsafe, Ah Nian was a troublemaker, and Xiao Liu had no confidence to protect her and herself.

The three of them went to buy a few pieces of roast venison and were eating, Xinyue pulled a man over, the man and Xinyue looked very similar, but the similar facial features, but because of the subtle differences, formed a completely different temperament. Xinyue is lively and charming, but the young man is calm and capable. Zhen Xuan greeted them with a smile, and introduced Ah Nian and Xiao Liu: "This is Chishui Fenglong, Xinyue's twin brother. ”

Ah Nian knew that the weight of Chishui Fenglong was not trivial, so she stood up with a smile and bowed. Chishui Fenglong saw that the upbringing she showed in her actions was by no means ordinary people, and he didn't dare to slack off, and smiled in return.

Xiao Liu's mouth was stuffed with venison, and he was still greasy and greasy in his hand, so he could only clasp his fists in a false fist, and Ah Nian and Xinyue stared at her unhappily at the same time. One blames her for not giving her brother a long face, and the other blames her for not respecting her brother Fenglong.

Feng Long said to Zhuan, "I don't know if you know Tu Shanjing? ”

Zhen Xuan said vaguely: "Of course I have heard of the name of Qingqiu Gongzijing. ”

Feng Long said: "In order to cultivate my way of business, my grandfather once sent me to Qingqiu, so that I can live and study with Jing, we get along very well, it can be said that Jing is my master, but also my best friend." ”

Xiao Liu then remembered that when she was basking in the sun a few days ago, she saw that the person who passed by with Jing on a boat seemed to be Feng Long.

Xinyue said: "Yiying is my good friend, and before she got engaged, I also went to Blackwater with her. Brother Jing and Sister Yiying are good friends of my brother and me. Over the years, something has happened and it is not easy for them to get together, so my brother and I want to celebrate for them. ”

"It's not just about celebrating them, it's about expressing our hearts, and I'm really happy to see Jing again," Hong Leong said. Feng Leong glanced at Xinyue gently, and Xinyue said, "Tonight, Daddy will hold a big banquet to send everyone off, and my brother and I will hold a small banquet for Brother Jing and Yiying on the boat." ”

Feng Long said: "Originally, the invited friends were friends who had known each other before, my sister proposed to invite you, I welcome you, and I think my friends will also be willing to know you." ”

Xiao Liu carefully looked at Feng Long, this invitation showed that he was willing to introduce Zhen Xuan into his circle of friends, just relying on Xinyue's proposal may not be enough, but he himself recognized Zhen Xuan, it seems that Zhen Xuan did not recuperate in Chishui Mansion in vain in the past few days.

Zhen Yan naturally understood, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the invitation, I am very honored." ”

Xin Yue and Feng Leong said goodbye: "There are still many things to prepare, so let's go first and see you in the evening." ”

Zhen Xuan and Ah Nian gave gifts to the guests, and Feng Long glanced at Ah Nian again before leaving with his sister.

Ah Nian sat down and said to Xiao Liu fiercely: "Look at your appearance, it's the same as if you haven't eaten venison in your life." ”

Xiao Liu said to Zhen Xuan, "Go ahead, I want to go back to sleep." ”

He cut a piece of venison and said slowly, "I wish you could see it with your own eyes." ”

Xiao Liu smiled and snatched the venison he had cut and stuffed it into his mouth, "I've been sober all the time, and what you worried about won't happen." ”

Ah Nian looked at Zhen Xu, and then at Xiao Liu, "What are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”

Zhen Xuan said to Ah Nian: "We are saying that men are all rhetorical, you must not be deceived." ”

Ah Nian rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you too?" ”

Zhen Xuan smiled: "Me too!" ”

Ah Nian's brows furrowed, and he bit his lip tightly, but soon laughed again, "What you said just now was the truth. ”

Zhen Yan smiled and pulled Xiao Liu up, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

When the sun went down, Zhuan Xuan took Ah Nian to the banquet, Zhuan Xuan wanted to find Bei Shui to send someone to escort Xiao Liu back, Xiao Liu impatiently said to Zhen Xu: "Do you think I am a flower raised in a flower pot?" Still need people to move around? Without Ah Nian, I would have gone anywhere. You go play yours, I'll go and have fun. ”

Zhen Yan had to hit Xiao Liu a few times, "Don't go back too late." ”

The more night it gets, the crazier people play. Xiaoliu huddled in the crowd, drinking and having fun, but for some reason, he always felt as if he was wearing a mask, and his external self was playing with his devotion, screaming loudly and laughing loudly, but his inner self was just watching indifferently. There is no one I know around, who is she acting for?

Xiao Liu smiled, it turned out that it was not so easy for him to deceive himself.

A few fireworks suddenly rose from the Chishui River, lighting up the night sky. It turned out to be a ship where fireworks were being set off, and people flocked to the shore to watch. Xiao Liu was pushed by the crowd and was squeezed to the front.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple...... Fireworks of various colors and shapes bloomed above the ship, and the two people standing on the bow of the ship were very clearly reflected. The man wore a blue shirt, fighting quietly, clear and elegant, like a green cypress and bamboo in a mountain stream. The woman is tall, and she is wearing a long embroidered skirt that outlines her slender waist. As if drunk, she looked up at the fireworks in amazement, staggered a few steps, and her body staggered and almost fell. The man reached out to support her, and she leaned softly on the man's body, like a beautiful and lingering silk flower.

The boat gradually drifted away, leaving with those colorful fireworks, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Xiao Liu was still standing on the bank, facing the dark river. It's strange that Yiying is not the most beautiful woman Xiaoliu has ever seen, but under the fireworks, her stumbling, falling, twisting and being helped up, and leaning softly on her all have a kind of feminine slenderness and elegance, and that kind of beauty deeply hits Xiaoliu, making Xiaoliu, who has been a man for one or two hundred years, envious and ashamed of herself.

It wasn't until late at night that Xiao Liu returned to the inn.

When she walked into the room, she sat under the lamp wearing a robe and waited for her while reading.

He patted his side and let Xiao Liu sit. "What did you go for fun?"

Xiaoliu smiled and said, "I suddenly want to find a beautiful dress to wear." ”

"Our grandmother is a silkworm god revered by all the people of the world, and the most ingenious silk and clothes in the world are made by her disciples, and I will ask them to make you countless beautiful dresses." ”

Xiaoliu said softly: "But I'm afraid that I haven't worn a skirt for too long and I won't get used to it." ”

He stared at her, "What are you worried about?" ”

"I'm afraid to disappoint you, because of your disappointment, I'm disappointed in you."

"Who are you? If it were me and Master, we would never be disappointed in you. If other men are included, Xiao Liu's ......" Zhen Xu's hand was on Xiao Liu's shoulder, "Don't give yourself hope, naturally you won't be disappointed." ”

Xiao Liu burst out laughing, "I thought you would have some great moves." ”

Zhen Xuan patted her, "Don't be cranky, take a good rest, when we go back to Gaoxin, Master will surprise you." ”

Xiao Liu nodded.

He walked out and closed the door softly.

On the second day, they returned to Gaoxin by boat, and to their surprise, Xin Yue and Feng Long actually came to see him off. Obviously, after last night, Hong Leong and his friends recognized him.

Ah Nian was happy and troubled, but Xiao Liu was very happy. In any case, the purpose of coming to Chishui for the Autumn Tournament has been achieved.

When the boat was about to leave, a servant hurriedly came over, saluted Zhuan, and presented a large rattan basket, "This is the practice of my son, I wish my son a smooth journey, if you have the opportunity to go to Qingqiu in the future, you must inform the Tu Shan family." ”

Zhen Yan accepted the gift, "Please help me convey my gratitude." ”

Feng Long smiled: "I really didn't expect you and Jing to fall in love, congratulations!" ”

He once again thanked Hong Leong for his hospitality, and Hong Leong once again expressed the opportunity to reunite.

The boat slowly sailed out of the dock, gradually getting faster and faster, it was already far away, and Xinyue was still standing on the shore.

Ah Nian wrinkled his nose, snorted proudly, and said to Zhen Xuan: "That Qingqiu Gongzi Jing looks a little cold, but he is really good to his brother. Last night, the three stinky boys of the Hui family and the Jiang family spoke disrespectfully to their brother, and deliberately made things difficult for their brother, trying to make his brother ugly, but fortunately, Feng Long and Jing helped his brother. Ah Nian knows very well that if he doesn't perform well on the first side of that occasion, even if he can successfully integrate in the future, he will have to spend several times more effort.

Seeing that he couldn't see the pier anymore, he turned around to look for Xiao Liu, and found that Xiao Liu had found a place to shelter from the wind and bask in the sun to lie comfortably.

Zhen Yan pulled Ah Nian to sit down beside her, Ah Nian took away the straw hat that Xiao Liu covered his face, and said with some envy and disdain: "You really look so comfortable and carefree no matter where you are." ”

Zhen Xuan opened the big rattan basket sent by Jing, a few small bamboo baskets, all packed with food in different categories, and four bottles of wine, Ah Nian smiled: "This gift is simply for Xiaoliu, the greedy cat!" ”

Xiao Liu got up lazily, "Give me a duck neck." ”

Zhen Yan put the small bamboo basket containing the duck neck in Xiao Liu's hand, and Xiao Liu picked up a duck neck and gnawed on it, which turned out to be her favorite taste when she was in Qingshui Town, which was exactly the same as that made by Lao Mu.

Xiaoliu picked up a bottle of wine and tasted it, which was also the green plum wine he used to like to drink. Xiao Liu sighed, but he didn't know if it was for himself or for Jing.

The journey back felt very fast, sleeping at night, eating snacks, rolling dice, basking in the sun, blowing the wind, and it didn't take long for them to return to Wushen Mountain.

Bei Shu took someone to return to Emperor Jun, Ah Nian went to see his mother, and Zhu Xuan and Xiaoliu returned to Huayin Palace.

The Central Plains was already very cool, but Gao Xin was still a little hot, and after Zhen Xuan and Xiaoliu washed, they changed into thin summer clothes and sat in the pavilion to enjoy the coolness.

Xiao Liu lay on the couch, talked and talked to Zhen Xuan, and fell asleep grogily.

Faintly hearing someone talking, she opened her eyes and saw that in addition to her father and Zhuan, there were two other people, and Xiao Liu sat up busily.

The two strangers, one was a young man, dressed in black, with a handsome face, long eyebrows and sideburns, and a pair of beautiful fox eyes, which should have looked frivolous, but he looked very dignified; One is a young man in white, who has not yet grown in size, with delicate facial features and turquoise eyes, revealing a fierce aura.

Xiao Liu's heart beat like a drum, but he didn't dare to open his mouth, and nervously looked at Emperor Jun.

Before Emperor Jun could speak, the young man in white suddenly turned into a white bird and flew towards Xiao Liu, pecking him fiercely. Xiaoliu hugged his head and ran away, but he couldn't dodge it, so he threw himself into Emperor Jun's arms, "Father, save me." ”

Emperor Jun blocked Lang Bird, "Lieyang, forget it." ”

The scorching sun stopped and flew down to the shoulder of the man in black, and the man in black looked at Xiao Liu, with tears in his eyes.

Xiaoliu leaned on Emperor Jun and looked at him, "Are you Ah Yan?" ”

The man nodded, and turned back into its original form, a black badger. Xiao Liu knew that once the demon clan cultivated into a human form, it was very taboo to show its original form in front of people, but in order not to make her feel strange, Ah Yan did not hesitate to change back to his original form.

Xiao Liu squatted down and hugged Ah Yan's neck hard, "I'm sorry, I made you worried." ”

Ah Hui said, "It was we who didn't take good care of you, so it's good that you come back safely." "The fox is famous for its pleasant cry in the fox clan, and the voice of the fox is low and pleasant, which is very good.

Xiao Liu remembered that he was already a man, and he was a little embarrassed, so he let go of Ah Yan.

Both Ah Heng and Lieyang's hearts swelled with unspeakable sadness, although Xiaoliu was a continuation of Ah Heng's life, she was not her mother after all.

Ah Hui and Xiao Liu said: "His Majesty Emperor Jun and the Queen Mother told you about your situation, the artifact in your body is called Zhuyan Flower, which is an artifact naturally condensed from hundreds of thousands of years in Yushan and Peach Forest, which can make people's faces stay forever and help people change their appearance. ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly asked, "Then can the Queen Mother help me take out the anti-face flower?" ”

Ah Hui shook her head, "The Queen Mother can't take it out, but the Queen Mother can help you show your true face." ”

Xiao Liu held her breath, and after a moment, she turned around and lay on Emperor Jun's shoulder, tears pouring out silently. After a while, she quietly wiped away her tears and turned to look at Ah Yan, "Are we going to Yushan to see the Queen Mother?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Liu said to Emperor Jun, "I want to go immediately." ”

Emperor Jun agreed, "Let Zhen Xuan accompany you, and when you come back, I will announce to the world that the king of Gaoxin has returned safely." ”

Xiao Liu nodded.

Ah Yan said to Xiao Liu: "I'll take you, and the sun will take you." ”

Xiao Liu said to Ah Zhen: "Then I'm bothering you." Xiao Liu sat on Ah Yan's back.

Lieyang's body grew larger, and he saluted respectfully first, "It's hard work." He jumped onto the back of the scorching sun.

Ah Hui and Lie Yang rose into the air and flew in the direction of Jade Mountain.

When she arrived at Yushan, Xiao Liu was very nervous, but when she fell and saw everything exactly the same as when she left, she couldn't help laughing, and all the nervousness disappeared. The folk song of the Great Wilderness says: One mountain is independent, and the two countries are ethereal...... Yushan is indeed independent, and time seems to stand still in Yushan. The peach forest is thousands of miles, endless, the morning reflects the golden morning light, the evening bath flows the colorful glow, the gorgeous scenery is incomparable, but it is exactly the same every day and every day, and even the daily temperature will not change for thousands of years or tens of thousands of years.

Walking through the long corridor hidden in the peach blossom forest, because the queen mother did not like to make noise, there were not many maids, and seeing that her maid's expression was not the slightest different, she bowed and quietly got out of the way. Along the way, nothing was heard except the sound of their footsteps.

Xiaoliu couldn't help but want to make a sound, she said to Zhuan, "Brother, do you see it?" If I had to choose again, I would still run away. I'd rather be displaced than be in the comfort of death. ”

He whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

The Queen Mother stood on the bank of Yao Pond, with thousands of miles of peach forest behind her and thousands of blue waves in front of her.

She turned around and looked at Zhen Xuan and Xiao Liu, her old face and dead eyes made the entire Jade Mountain wither.

Zhen Xuan and Xiao Liu walked in front of her, Xiao Liu's heart was sour, and he knelt down, and Zhen Xuan also knelt down with her.

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Get up." ”

Xiao Liu and Zhen Xuan kowtowed before standing up.

The Queen Mother took Xiaoliu's arm, held her veins, and examined her body. After a moment, the Queen Mother let go of Xiao Liu and said lightly: "As long as you stay in Yushan, I may have a way to help you regain your profound spiritual power." I only have one or two hundred years left in my life, and if you want, you can be the next queen mother and take charge of Yushan. ”

Maybe being in charge of Yushan is something that many people dream of in the Great Wilderness, but Xiaoliu knows too well what Yushan is imprisoned in, and she said without hesitation: "I'd rather know tomorrow's life like now, but I don't know next year's life, it won't be too exciting, and it won't be too boring." ”

The Queen Mother just nodded her head to indicate that she heard it, and her expression did not change in any way, as if time would not move her no matter what happened. A peach branch grew between the queen mother's fingers, and she gently tapped Xiao Liu's forehead with the peach branch, and a crimson birthmark in the shape of a peach blossom appeared in the middle of Xiao Liu's forehead.

Xiao Liu asked, "The Zhuyan Flower is an artifact of Yushan, why can't you help me take it out?" ”

The Queen Mother said indifferently: "There are many things I can't do in this world. ”

Xiao Liu asked, "Who sealed the artifact of Yushan into my body?" Isn't it you? ”

The Queen Mother said indifferently: "It doesn't matter who sealed it, you just need to know that I can help you now." Although you have a special system, but now that your spiritual power is low, you are bound to age faster than other Protoss women in the future, and it will not be harmful for you to stay in your body. ”

Xiaoliu asked, "When will I be able to regain my true appearance?" ”

The Queen Mother said, "Take off your clothes and jump into the Yao Pond." ”

Xiao Liu glanced at Zhen Xuan, who retired to the Queen Mother's luggage, turned his back to Yao Chi, and walked towards the peach forest. Although Ah Ji and Lie Yang were beasts and birds, they also turned their backs to Yao Chi and hid in Yao Chi.

Xiao Liu unbuttoned his shirt, stripped off all his clothes, and jumped into the Yao Pond, as if welcoming a new student.

The queen mother recites the magic formula, the hand knots the seal, the blue waves in the Yao Pond are surging, the thousands of miles of peach forests are trembling, and the peach leaves and peach blossoms are flying in the air, weaving together, like a huge quilt, covering the Yao Pond and covering the blue waves.

Gradually, the quilt is folding, and the peach blossom leaves seem to be squeezed by the water to condense together, and slowly, the peach blossoms and peach leaves that were originally overwhelming become smaller and smaller, until finally they become a budding peach blossom.

The churning blue waves gradually subsided, and there was a peach blossom about the size of a lotus platform floating on the Yao Pond, and a few emerald green peach leaves supported it, lining it delicately. The queen mother clicked from afar, the peach blossoms slowly bloomed, and a ** girl curled up like a baby, sleeping in the middle of the stamens. The jet-black hair hangs down on the body, and the skin is more delicate than the peach blossom.

The Queen Mother cried out, "Little Yao, wake up." ”

Xiao Yao slowly opened her eyes and slowly sat up straight, she looked down at herself, is this me? She touches her face, is this me? Xiao Yao hesitated to probe, wanting to look at himself on the water waves, but the ripples were light, and he only saw the five-colored fish swimming around under the water, and he couldn't see himself clearly.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and a set of green clothes flew down on the peach blossoms, "I remember that you liked white and green when you were a child. ”

Xiao Yao's heart was agitated, and she couldn't speak, but just nodded.

She hadn't worn women's clothes for more than a hundred years, Xiao Yao only felt that she was extremely clumsy, and it took a long time to put on her clothes, she tied the butterfly silk, stood on the peach blossom, and looked at the queen mother with disbelief, and the queen mother nodded slightly.

Xiao Yao wanted to open her mouth to call her out, but she couldn't make a sound nervously, and suddenly remembered that her hair was not tied up, so she hurriedly smoothed it with her fingers, but couldn't find the hairpin, and she had long forgotten how to comb the woman's hair bun, so she could only let her hair hang naturally behind her.

The Queen Mother said, "Come out." ”

Xiao Yao took a deep breath, nervous and expectant, her hands and feet trembling slightly.

Zhen Xuan slowly walked out of the peach forest, originally he didn't care at all, anyway, no matter what Xiao Yao looked like, it was his Xiao Yao. But perhaps after waiting in the peach forest for a long time, he also became very nervous, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to look. While walking, he was thinking about not knowing if Xiao Yao would look like an aunt or a master, until he was almost on the shore, and he didn't raise his eyes to look-

The green mountains are stacked, the smoke waves are vast, a huge peach blossom blooms on the blue waves, and there is a green-clothed girl standing in the peach blossoms, just like a green peach planted in the green mountains and green waters, and the essence of heaven and earth. The head is full of green silk falling like a waterfall, there is a small crimson peach blossom in the forehead, and the eyes are like frightened deer, flickering and dodging, not daring to look directly into people's eyes. She is as fresh as the morning dew on the peach petals,

This is my little girl! He only felt that the spring rain was floating in his heart, and he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Yao saw that Zhen Xuan didn't speak, her heart was gloomy, and she was soon relieved again, no matter how ugly it is, it's the real me! She stretched out her hand to Zhen Xuan, "Brother, help me!" ”

Zhuan Xuan woke up like a dream, busy with spiritual power, peach blossoms floated to the shore, Xiao Yao greeted him, three thousand green silk flying, eyebrows and eyes full of smiles, Zhen Xuan also stretched out his hand, Xiao Yao held his hand, and jumped ashore with strength.

Xiao Yao saluted the Queen Mother, "Thank you Queen Mother for giving me back my true face." ”

The Queen Mother said lightly: "The anti-face-retaining flower sealed in your body now only has the effect of rejuvenating the face, and there is no power to change. Maybe in the future, if there is another chance, it will be restored. ”

Xiao Yao smiled: "I've changed enough in my life, and I don't want to change anymore." ”

The Queen Mother said, "I have been entrusted by your mother to take care of you, and although I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, you have grown up, and you can leave Yushan." If Ah Shen and Lie Sun want to leave with you, they can leave together. If you don't want to, you can stay in Yushan. ”

After the queen mother finished speaking, she turned and left, and the emaciated figure quickly disappeared into the peach forest.

Xiao Yao walked up to Ah Yan and Lie Yang and asked softly, "Did I disappoint you?" ”

Ah Heng didn't speak, and Lieyang said, "I thought you would look like Ah Heng." ”

Xiao Yao said: "I don't want to look like my mother." ”

Lieyang looked at Xiao Yao carefully and sighed softly in his heart. Xiao Yao doesn't look like Ah Heng, but her eyes are very similar to the devil, at first glance, they are as clear and clear as a newborn baby, but after looking closely, there is a coldness under the agility and cunning.

Xiao Yao said: "I know that you are my mother's friends, and my mother asked you to take care of me, but I have grown up." Stop being bound by promises and do what you want to do. ”

Ah Yao stared at Xiao Yao and raised his paw, Xiao Yao held it, and there were tears in his eyes. In the battle of Jizhou, Niang was killed, Ah Zheng was also seriously injured, and when Emperor Jun sent someone to send it to Yushan, it was unconscious, and it looked like a fox that had been roasted. The Queen Mother wrapped it in layers of 100,000-year-old peach leaves, and soaked it in the deepest part of the Jade Mountain, and it was fifty years later that Ah Hui woke up. Xiao Yao knows the relationship between them and their mother, and understands that they see her as a continuation of their mother's life, but she is not a mother and never wants to be a mother.

"Lieyang and I will stay in Yushan, although the Queen Mother doesn't need us, we want to accompany her to the end of her life." Ah Yao shook Xiao Yao's hand, "Xiao Yao, don't lose yourself because of anyone's words, your mother is the best person in the world." ”

Xiao Yao only nodded, and didn't say anything, maybe her mother is indeed a good person, but she is not a good wife, nor is she a good mother.

Xiao Yao hugged Ah Yan: "I'm leaving." ”

Xiao Yao looked at Lieyang, didn't dare to touch him, and whispered: "Don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”

Lieyang stared at Zhuan, who immediately said, "I'll take care of my sister." ”

Ah Yan told Xiao Yao: "If there is something...... You know where to find us, right? ”

Xiao Yao nodded, "I know." ”

Xiao Yao walked along the corridor for a while, suddenly turned around, and said in a loud voice: "If the queen mother ...... Please notify me immediately that I would like to give her one last ride, although she doesn't need it. ”

Ah Hui grinned and smiled, "Okay." ”

Xiao Yao couldn't help it, rushed back quickly, hugged Ah Yan hard, kissed it on the fox face, and touched the body of the sun with lightning speed, before turning around quickly and disappearing into the peach blossom-covered corridor.

Ah Hui stared happily at the peach forest, and the sun shook his feathers, as if he was very unhappy, but there was a smile in his green eyes.

The Queen Mother's Blue Bird sent Zhuan and Xiao Yao to the foot of the Jade Mountain, and Emperor Jun seemed to have expected that Ah Yan and Lie Yang would not leave with Xiao Yao, so he sent people to wait at the foot of the mountain.

Zhuan Xuan and Xiao Yao took the cloud chariot back to Wushen Mountain. Zhen Yao kept looking at Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao flew out of the sky, stunned, and didn't know what she was thinking.

After entering the Cheng'en Palace, the waiter led them directly to the Chaohui Palace, and Xiao Yao seemed to have really woken up in front of the Chaohui Palace, she stopped for a moment, "I want to take a look at myself first." ”

Zhen Xuan took out a small baggage, "This is what the maid handed me before leaving Yushan, in addition to your pill powder, there is also a small mirror. ”

Xiao Yao took out the mirror, but covered it with her hand, and said to Zhen Yao: "I remember that when I was a child, I looked quite like my father, and I always felt that even if the girl changed eighteen times, even if she was not as good-looking as Ah Nian, it would not be too bad." ”

Zhen Yan smiled and said, "You can see for yourself." ”

Xiao Yao slowly removed her hand, the woman in the mirror was very unfamiliar, only a little peach blossom birthmark on her forehead was familiar, Xiao Yao gently pulled the corners of her mouth, and the person in the mirror also pulled the corners of her mouth, Xiao Yao dared to confirm that it was herself. Xiao Yao put away the mirror and said very regretfully: "It's not weird, but it's not like my father at all." ”

Zhen Yao looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, but Xiao Yao pushed Zhen Yao, "I'll go behind you." ”

Zhen Xuan walked into the hall, Xiao Yao lowered his head and followed behind Zhen Xuan.

Emperor Jun smiled: "What are you doing hiding behind Zhen Xuan?" It's you who are shouting for your true face, and you're really coming back, but you don't dare to see anyone. ”

He wanted to get out of the way, but Xiao Yao hurriedly grabbed him, hid his face behind him, and said with a snort: "Let me prepare again." ”

He had to stand still, feeling a shallow breath on his back, which made his skin tingle and itch, making him want to avoid it immediately, and he was very greedy, which was a complicated feeling he had never had in his life.

Emperor Jun asked, "Are you ready?" ”

Xiao Yao said: "It's okay right away." ”

Emperor Jun stood up, walked over in a few steps, grabbed Xiao Yao out from behind his back, and looked at her carefully. Xiao Yao slowly raised her head, met Emperor Jun's gaze, and asked in a low voice: "I don't look like my mother, and I don't look like you, are you disappointed?" ”

Emperor Jun said: "I don't want you to look like your mother, and I don't want you to look like me." I just want you to be healthy, and now that you're not only healthy but also beautiful, I'm satisfied. ”

Xiao Yao smiled, "In the eyes of all fathers, their daughters are the most beautiful. ”

Emperor Jun stared into her eyes, similar eyes, in that person can reveal the arrogance of the world, but also reveal the deep affection that will burn everything like a fire. In addition to the cuteness of Xiaoyao, what else will be revealed?

Xiao Yao saw Emperor Jun looking at her fixedly, obviously distracted, and shouted, "Father, what are you thinking?" ”

Emperor Jun smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel that time flies, my daughters have grown up, and I am also old." ”

Xiao Yao pretended to look at Emperor Jun carefully and shook his head, "I didn't see it." "But there is a little sour in his heart, with his father's spiritual power, it is not difficult to maintain an ageless appearance, but it can be born from the heart, his father's gray hair and fine lines at the corners of his eyes are all desolate in his state of mind.

Emperor Jun shook his head and laughed.

Zhen Yan asked, "Master, when do you plan to announce Xiao Yao's identity?" ”

Emperor Jun said: "I have ordered the harvest to be in preparation for the ceremony. Emperor Jun looked at Xiao Yao, "Come with me to Princess Jing'an later, it's time for her and your sister to know." ”

Xiao Yao nodded.

Emperor Jun smiled: "Don't be nervous, I heard from Bei Shu that you and Ah Nian get along well." ”

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "That's because she thought you were going to marry her to me, and I promised her that there was absolutely a way for you not to marry her to me." ”

"I said you guys were somehow good enough to get together and whisper. ”

The waiter came in and announced, "Your Majesty, the princess has prepared dinner on her side, and Wang Ji has already gone." ”

Emperor Jun said to Zhuan Xuan and Xiao Yao: "Let's go! ”

When Xiao Yao walked in, when she saw Princess Jing'an, who looked like her mother, she still felt as if her heart had been stabbed by something, which was very uncomfortable. Xiao Yao lowered her head and took a few deep breaths before slowly calming down.

Princess Jing'an and Ah Nian saluted Emperor Jun, and Emperor Jun said to Ah Nian, "Get up and help your mother to sit." ”

Ah Nian helped the princess sit down, and she also sat down, but her eyes kept sweeping to Xiao Yao.

After Emperor Jun sat down, he pointed to the food table placed next to him to Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao sat down quietly, and Zhen Yao sat down in front of the food table next to Xiao Yao.

Ah Nian couldn't hold back any longer, "Father, who is she?" How can you sit there? ”

Emperor Jun did not speak, but began to sign to Princess Jing'an, and Princess Jing'an and Ah Nian both stared at Emperor Jun intently. Xiao Yao's eyes showed shock, Princess Jing'an is deaf! No wonder her voice has never been heard!

Xiao Yao looked at Zhen Yao, was it like this when her father married her? Zhen Xuan nodded slightly.

After Emperor Jun finished speaking, he withdrew his hand.

Ah Nian's back tightened, staring at Xiao Yao, like a little beast who only needs to protect her lair, but she has no way to drive away the intruders, she can only stare at Xiao Yao.

Emperor Jun said to Xiao Yao: "You give the princess a salute!" ”

Xiao Yao stood up and saluted Princess Jing'an, the princess hurriedly stood up, looked at Xiao Yao stiffly, stretched out her hand to help her, and seemed to think that it might not be etiquette, so she hurriedly took it back. She had no way to speak, so she could only smile, hoping that Xiao Yao would understand her kindness.

Xiao Yao finally understood that the princess and her mother were completely different, and her mother could be calm and calm in any situation and in front of anyone. Xiao Yao also smiled at her and showed herself calmly in front of her.

The princess stared into Xiao Yao's eyes, and slowly, her nervousness and worry disappeared. God had deprived her of hearing and speaking, but it had made her other senses unusually acute, and she could see this girl's heart, and she was sure that this girl would not hurt her daughter.

The princess painted a picture of Ah Nian, and asked Ah Nian to salute Xiao Yao.

Ah Nian stood up, still not believing that everything was true. With a sneer in her eyes, she asked disdainfully, "Are you really the daughter of the woman before your father?" ”

Xiao Yao's feelings are very complicated, she has a hatred for her mother, she will even criticize her mother and aunt with her back, but she will never allow anyone to talk about her mother in such a contemptuous tone. Back then, she hated the nine-tailed demon fox so much, and after poisoning, she cut off his tails one by one, the main reason was not because he tortured her, but because he insulted his mother.

Zhen Yao and Xiao Yao feel exactly the same, his relatives, he and Xiao Yao can speak, but others can't! Zhen Xuan immediately said solemnly: "Ah Nian, Xiao Yao's mother is my aunt, the daughter of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and Xiling Ancestor, the most noble princess of Xuanyuan, and the master used Gao Xin's grandest etiquette to marry Gao Xin's wife. ”

Ah Nian knew that 颛顼 was the most protective of her shortcomings, and she inadvertently committed the taboo of 颛顼, and understood that she had said the wrong thing, but ...... This maintenance was meant to belong to her. Ah Nian looked at Zhen Yao, her body was trembling slightly, she pointed at Xiao Yao, her eyes were full of tears, "She is your relative, you want to protect her, what about me?" What am I? ”

Zhen Xuan said clearly: "Master is like my father, I almost watched you be born and raised, and of course you are also my relatives. ”

Ah Nian felt a little better, but couldn't help but ask: "Then between me and her, who will you defend more?" ”

After not saying a word, Ah Nian's voice changed again, almost screaming: "You answer me!" ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly glanced at Zhen Xuan, suggesting that Zhen Xuan hurriedly replied to Ah Nian. One sentence can eliminate contradictions, maybe the kind words are silent, but they don't speak.

Ah Nian said with a crying voice: "You answer me! Between me and her, who will you defend more? ”

Emperor Jun sighed, "What a stupid boy, if I ask you who you love more between your father and your mother, can you answer?" ”

Ah Nian lowered his head, wiped his tears and did not speak.

Zhen Xuan persuaded: "Xiao Yao is Xiao Liu, didn't you secretly tell me on the boat back to Gaoxin that you think Xiao Liu is not bad?" You say it's not bad, but you must think it's good in your heart. Wouldn't it be nice to have a capable sister who loves you with us? ”

Ah Nian raised his head suddenly, just now his father only told his mother that he had found his lost eldest daughter, and did not say that Xiao Yao was Xiao Liu.

Xiao Yao smiled at Ah Nian, Ah Nian stared at Xiao Yao, how could he not connect Qingli Xiao Yao and the scoundrel Xiao Liu. Ah Nian only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help shouting: "I don't want my sister!" She kicked over her food table and hurried out of the house, and Princess Jing'an stood up anxiously and looked at Emperor Jun inquiringly. Emperor Jun nodded, and the princess hurriedly chased after him.

Xiao Yao sat down in silence and stared at the mess all over the ground in a daze.

She comforted her and said, "It's too sudden, and it takes a while to accept it." ”

Emperor Jun raised his hand to the waiter, who immediately came in and cleaned up the room quietly and quickly. Emperor Jun instructed the waiter: "Prepare some food that Wang Ji likes to eat and send it over." ”

Emperor Jun began to eat quietly, exactly as usual, as if nothing had happened. Xiao Yao looked at Emperor Jun, "Father, can you really eat?" ”

Emperor Jun glanced at her, "Do you know how many things happen in a country every day?" If I had been unable to eat this, your father would have starved to death. ”

He also began to eat.

Xiao Yao looked left and right, and also began to eat, but after eating a little, he felt that his stomach was bloated and he couldn't eat anymore. Emperor Jun and Emperor Zhen ate the same amount as usual.

After Emperor Jun finished eating, he said to Xiao Yao: "Let's go out for a walk." ”

Xiao Yao and Zhen Xuan followed Emperor Jun on the left and right, Xiao Yao thought that Emperor Jun would take her to Yiqing Garden, but she didn't expect Emperor Jun to take her to visit Cheng'en Palace, every time she passed a hall, Emperor Jun would ask: "What do you think of here?" ”

Xiao Yao understood that Emperor Jun was asking her to choose a place to live in the future. Xiao Yao said: "It's better to choose a hall close to the Huayin Hall to live first." ”

Emperor Jun said: "The Shuse Hall is not far from the Huayin Palace, but it's not good, choose another one." ”

Xiao Yao grabbed Emperor Jun's arm, "Father, have you been to Yushan?" I stayed there for 70 years, then I spent more than 20 years alone in the mountains, and then I was imprisoned by the dead nine-tailed fox for 30 years. I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm really afraid of loneliness, and I want to be closer to my brother. ”

Emperor Jun was sad and immediately agreed to Xiao Yao's request, "Okay." ”

Emperor Jun walked slowly with Xiao Yao, and when they arrived at the Shu Se Palace, the entire Shu Se Hall was already brightly lit, and the inside and outside were completely new, and even Xiao Yao's favorite snacks were ready. The maidservants who had served Xiao Yao in the Huayin Hall before came out to salute Xiao Yao, and Emperor Jun said to Xiao Yao: "Gao Xin is still white, and the royal family's costumes are mainly white, but you can usually wear them casually." I remember that you liked white and green when you were younger, so I ordered them to prepare a few more green dresses for you. ”

Xiao Yao smiled: "I also like green now. ”

Emperor Jun said to Zhen Xuan: "You stay with Xiao Yao for a while, and I'll go see Ah Nian." ”

Zhen Xuan accompanied Xiao Yao to take a closer look at the Shuse Palace, this hall is very small, but it is exactly what Xiao Yao wants.

Zhen asked Xiao Yao: "Do you think there is anything missing?" ”

Xiao Yao shook her head, "Years of wandering have cultivated several habits in me. Like to eat, delicious food is the most tangible thing; I never recognize the couch, and I can sleep anywhere I lie down; Knowing that it is difficult to carry foreign objects, I hardly have any desire for external objects. Xiao Yao lay down on the comfortable soft couch, "This kind of thing, sometimes I enjoy it, and I don't think about it all the time." ”

"You are no longer wandering. ”

Xiao Yao said lazily: "The character formed when people are young is almost lifelong and difficult to change. ”

Under the light, Xiao Yao's skin was snow-white, and the crimson peach blossoms on her forehead were delicate, and she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and touch it gently, "This peach blossom mark is the same as the real one, I just want to inlay a peach blossom that I just picked in." ”

Xiao Yao smiled: "You said this when you were a child, and once you coaxed me not to move, and you picked it hard with your fingers, making my head red." ”

Zhen Yan also smiled, "I remember, you later gave me two punches, which made my mouth swollen, and you ran to complain to my mother." ”

Xiao Yao was a little sleepy, and closed her eyes slightly, "My aunt couldn't cry or laugh, and hit you twice, but I overheard that she was actually annoyed that you couldn't even beat the girl......"

He reluctantly stood up and instructed the maidservant: "Serve Wang Ji to wash and rest." ”
