Chapter 10: Who knows?

When Ah Nian came to Huayin Hall to look for Zhuan, Zhuan was not there.

Ah Nian saw Xiao Liu, who was blistering his hand with water in the eyes of Guixu, and Ah Nian rushed up and overturned the basin.

Xiao Liu leaned back, put his legs on the case, looked at Ah Nian indifferently, and smiled loudly.

Ah Nian stared at him, from head to foot, and then from foot to head, trying to see what was good about this dead scoundrel. Last night, she went to her father to complain and carefully explained Xiao Liu's evil form, but her father said that Xiao Liu didn't think about hurting her and asked her not to trouble Xiao Liu again. She was aggrieved, and told her father about Xiaoliu touching her indiscriminately, thinking that her father would be furious, but she didn't expect that her father was not only not angry, but seemed to have a strange smile, and her father comforted her, "After a while, my father will announce something, and you won't mind." ”

When Ah Nian came out of her father's palace, her mind was full of her father's words, and she wouldn't mind after a while, how could a woman not mind if a man touched her? That's naturally ...... The man became her husband.

Ah Nian felt like she was going crazy! Tell yourself that it can't be, it can't be! But-that's my father, it's the Emperor Jun who doesn't care about his family bloodline at all, vigorously promotes poor children and lowly demon clans, and insists on going his own way. My father has not set up a queen since he ascended the throne, and I heard that he almost confronted the entire Gaoxin court back then, and did not choose a princess from the noble Gaoxin Four Divisions, but instead married her mother, who was a hard laborer in a small mountain village, back to the palace, so now, it is very likely that she will marry a commoner from a humble background.

Ah Nian thought about it all night, and hurriedly came to find Zhuan, wanting her brother to help her get an idea, but she didn't find Zhuan, but she saw Xiaoliu.

When did Xiaoliu live in Huayin Palace? Why doesn't she know anything? Why would he allow Xiao Liu to live in the same temple with him? Could it be that Zhen also knew that his father wanted to ...... Yes, yes! Brother Zhen has always admired his father very much, and listens to his father's words, if his father wants to...... Brother Zhen must have supported it.

Ah Nian stared at Xiao Liu, the expression on his face was unpredictable, he gritted his teeth for a while, and wanted to cry for a while. Xiaoliu tilted his head and looked at her, very puzzled, what happened to this girl today?

Xiao Liu waved his hand to Ah Nian, "Hey, are you okay?" ”

Ah Nian clenched his hands into fists and roared, "I'm in trouble! ”

Xiao Liu stared at her fist and said, "Don't do it, if you want to do it today, I'll fight back." ”

Ah Nian walked back and forth in the courtyard irritably, thinking about countermeasures as he walked, and killed Xiao Liu now? But look around, the attendants are nearby, and there is a strange man hiding behind the window. With the shrewdness of her father and elder brother, it is impossible for her to have a chance to kill her in this palace.

Ah Nian sat in front of Xiao Liu and said viciously: "I tell you, I will never marry you!" If you marry me, I will fight with you every day! Let you live a good life every day! Sooner or later, I'll beat you to death! ”

Xiaoliu was confused, "I didn't want to marry you either!" ”

Ah Nian was overjoyed, "Really? ”

"Of course!"

"I'm Wang Ji!"

"Just because you are Wang Ji, I don't want you!"

Ah Nian couldn't figure out Xiao Liu's words, but as long as Xiao Liu said that he would never marry her, Ah Nian said: "Then you work hard to behave a little worse, so that your father can't look down on you, and it's better to hate you." As long as you behave well, I will forgive you and never trouble you again. ”

Xiao Liu smiled: "Okay, I promise that your father will not marry you to me." ”

"You swear?"

Xiao Liu raised his hand without hesitation and swore solemnly: "I swear that I will never let His Majesty Emperor Jun marry Wang Ji to me, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky!" ”

Ah Nian was completely relieved, she looked around, saw that no one was approaching them, and lowered her voice and said to Xiao Liu: "In more than ten days, it will be the autumn competition held by Xiao Zhurong, this competition is held once every ten years, through the competition, young people in the Great Wilderness have the opportunity to communicate, and it also has the meaning of selecting talents." When the time comes, the clans in the Great Wilderness will arrive, and my father will definitely send you to see you so much, so that you can know more people. When the time comes, I will go too, and I will cooperate with you, and I will definitely make my father disappoint you. ”

Xiao Liu was a little surprised, Ah Nian is worthy of being a child of the royal family, she seems to be naΓ―ve and confused, but she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she is very sensitive to the situation in the Great Wilderness, and she clearly knows that the children sent by the major clans to participate in the autumn competition must be the backbone of the family, and will even become the next patriarch. If these people are offended, then no matter how talented they are, they will be difficult in the future, and Emperor Jun will naturally not entrust such a person with a heavy responsibility. A strategy to stealthily extract salary.

Xiao Liu looked at Ah Nian and nodded, "You are very smart, but you lack some tribulations, only with tribulations can you have training, and only with tempering can you become a tool." "But Ah Nian doesn't need to fight for power, and he doesn't need to struggle for life, what do you want to do? Xiao Liu couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

Ah Nian glared at Xiao Liu vigilantly, "You don't like me!" ”

Xiaoliu immediately said, "I won't like you!" ”

Ah Nian snorted, "That's it." In case my father doesn't send you, I'll fight for you, and don't forget your oath anyway!" ”

Seventeen has been standing in the shadow under the window, avoiding Ah Nian, and after seeing Ah Nian leave, he came over and asked Xiao Liu: "Are you really going to Xiao Zhurong's autumn competition?" ”

Xiao Liu nodded, "I will definitely go, I want to accompany him for a spin, after all, after my father announces my identity to the world, many things will become completely different, take advantage of the discomfort, play more!" ”

"You have a deep relationship with Zhuan?"

Xiaoliu said: "I haven't thought about whether the feelings are deep or not, anyway, when I was a child, I quarreled and fought, and when I was happy, I called him brother, and when I was unhappy, I called him directly, played together, laughed together, ate in a pot, and slept in a bed." When I see him hurt, I want to hurt myself, and when I hear him being looked down upon, I feel so bad that I forget my own discomfort. It has not been easy for my brother these years, his parents died early, and then my mother raised him, after my mother died in battle, he was alone, and he was forced to Gaoxin by his uncles at a young age, Xuanyuan was his warrior, but he did not have the strength to belong to him. He looked very good in Gaoxin, and everything was treated like a prince, but after all, he was a foreign land, and the maidservants could also look down on him, thinking that he lived by the snort of Emperor Jun. We've been separated for so long, I don't know what he's been through, and now I just want to spend more time with him. ”

"Would you like to stay with them?"

"I would like to get together with them, but I'm used to being idle, and I don't want to be the princess of Gaoxin, teaching my father, my grandfather, and even the temperament of my father...... Even a person as naΓ―ve and confused as Ah Nian understands that it is self-inflicted to confront people like them directly. Xiaoliu sighed, "It's okay that I don't show up, but now that I do, they will never allow me to be Minxiao Liu again." I had been running away from us, not only because I had a knot in my heart and didn't want to be in us, but also because I knew that once this arch came in, it would be difficult to get out again. ”

Seventeen stared at Xiao Liu and said, "People can't choose their own origin, even if they don't want to, they can only accept it. ”

Seventeen smiled slightly, his smile was clear and warm, "If the heart is like the bright moon, all changes are like floating clouds covering the moon, and no matter how dark it is, it will eventually be scattered and the bright moon will rise." ”

Xiao Liu smiled and pointed to his heart, and said half-truthfully: "However, the concubine's heart is like ink, if you have a bright moon in your heart, I hope you can always make the bright moon to the concubine's heart." ”

"What are you talking about?" I heard that Ah Nian has been here? Is she making things difficult for you? ”

Xiaoliu smiled weirdly, "You didn't embarrass me, we talked very well." ”

Zhen Xuan said apologetically: "Master has already written to Grandpa and the Queen Mother of Yushan, and you also know that your identity is very special, and you have to wait for Master and Grandpa to discuss it, and it is best to obtain the consent of the Queen Mother before telling the world." Therefore, after discussing with me, Master decided to conceal your identity first. ”

Xiao Liu wailed: "The old witch of the Queen Mother! And the stinky bird Scorching Sun, fool Ah Yan! The sun will kill me! ”

Zhen reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Even the grandfather was polite and polite to the Queen Mother! Also, Ah Yan has cultivated into a human form, and now he is called Zheng Jun, and he is more polite when he sees people. ”

Xiao Liu remembered what happened when she was in Yushan, Lieyang is a Lang Bird Demon who wants to be a phoenix, the human form is like a teenage boy, he doesn't like to turn into a human form, and his temper is very bad, every time she is lazy in cultivation, he will peck her fiercely, chasing her all over the peach forest. Ah Hui is a demon of the Badger 1, and she can't transform into a human form yet, but she is very smart and has a very docile personality, and every time the sun pecks her, Ah Evil will save her. I haven't seen him for so many years, and Ah Yang has taken on a human form, and Lieyang doesn't know if he has grown taller.

At that time, she was too young and ignorant, and she always felt that the Queen Mother and Lieyang were good or bad, but later when she escaped death and survived again and again with her own strength, she understood their hard work. When she was wandering, it wasn't that she didn't think about going back, maybe they wouldn't dislike her as a little monster with a changed face, but when she had the courage to decide to go back, she was put in a cage, and after being tortured and abused for thirty years, she lost all her spiritual power, and she knew that she couldn't go back, so she could only continue to wander.

Xiao Liu asked, "Will Lieyang and Zhengjun come?" ”

"If the Queen Mother had told them, they would have come immediately. ”

Xiaoliu sighed, "After a long time, the reunion makes people look forward to it and be scared. ”

She flicked her head, "When will the sour slip away?" Master said to have dinner with us in the evening, your business...... I told him everything. ”

In the evening, Emperor Jun came to Huayin Hall to have dinner with Xiaoliu, Zhuan Xu, and Seventeen.

This time, Xiao Liu finally took out his right shape and began to eat in a proper manner. However, she was not a rule-abiding master back then, and more than 200 years have passed, and the rules and etiquette she once learned have long been lost, and her posture is twisted.

Seventeen watched from the side, reminding her in a whisper from time to time, but Zhuan Xuan stood by and watched, smiling and waiting for Xiao Liu to make a fool of himself.

Xiaoliu said dissatisfiedly: "You are still a bad brother just like when you were a child. ”

A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Who are you bullying if you don't bully?" ”

Emperor Jun looked at it with a smile for a while and said, "Okay, how you usually eat, how you eat now." ”

Xiao Liu smiled sweetly, "It's better to be my father." The waist immediately collapsed, and the sleeves were directly rolled up.

At dinner, Emperor Jun said to Xiaoliu: "The moonlight is very good tonight, accompany me for a walk." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liu followed Emperor Jun out of the Huayin Hall and walked towards Yiqing Garden.

There are more than three in Yiqing Garden: many waters, many exotic flowers and plants, and many rare birds and beasts. It is said that Yiqing Garden was once the favorite place for the previous Emperor Jun to wander. Xiaoliu remembers that when she was a child, her mother often brought her here to play. Sometimes for most of the day, my mother reads a book, and she fights with birds and beasts while playing in the water. Cheng'en Palace is too big, and Xiaoliu has never been to many places, and there are two places that are the most familiar: one is the Zixin Hall where the mother lives, and the other is Yiqing Garden.

Since returning to Cheng'en Palace, Xiao Liu has often walked outside Yiqing Garden, but has never entered it once. Cheng'en Palace has already changed its hostess, and Xiao Liu is afraid that seeing everything change will make her distant memories seem fake.

Xiao Liu walked slowly in the garden with Emperor Jun, her nose was sore, her eyes were gradually moistened, everything was exactly the same as in her memory, as if she had just played here yesterday.

Walking through the pavilion with the couplet, Xiao Liu suddenly ran in, squatted next to the pillar to check, inside the pillar, carved with two crooked silk herons, Xiao Liu pointed excitedly, "Daddy, look, my painting is still there!" ”

"And this, this one too!" There are three scratches on the pillar, which is when Xiaoliu stood against the pillar, and her father compared her height and scratched it with his fingers. Xiaoliu also threatened that she would grow longer, taller than her father, and taller than her father raising his hands, until her father could no longer reach it and couldn't row.

The pavilion has been renovated several times, but these have been carefully preserved.

Emperor Jun squatted beside the pillar and looked at the picture on the pillar with a smile, "This is your proud work, didn't you deliberately shout for your father to keep it forever?" He also said that when he learned to be a female red, he would embroider a silk heron's veil for his father. ”

Xiao Liu suddenly reached out and hugged Emperor Jun. Even though they had already met, she still didn't feel like home, until now, she finally felt that she was home.

Xiaoliu's tears rolled down, and Emperor Jun patted her on the back, not consoling, but just wanted her to cry enough, so that she could cry out the suffering and grievances she had suffered for many years.

Xiaoliu cried and cried, as if he really wanted to shed all the tears that he had been holding back for three hundred years, and in the end, he was embarrassed, and said with a sob: "Usually, I don't like to cry." ”

Emperor Jun said: "Don't be embarrassed, I should be ashamed, my daughter's tears are a father's dereliction of duty." ”

Xiao Liu's tears were about to come down again, he covered his face with a handkerchief, and after a while, he raised his head, "I won't shed tears anymore." ”

Xiaoliu dragged Emperor Jun to stand up, she stood against the pillar, "Daddy, measure my height again." ”

Emperor Jun compared the top of her head, scratched a notch with his finger, and quipped: "You are long, long, you have grown for so long, and you still haven't grown Dad, Dad still has it." ”

Xiao Liu smiled and stuck out his tongue, took a few steps back, looked at the notches on the pillar, and suddenly dimmed, "I don't know if this is my real height, I feel that everything is fake." When she told Zhen Xuan, Xiao Liu also kept her calm and didn't care, as if she was completely accustomed to the deformed appearance and had no face, but at this moment, she finally revealed her trepidation.

Emperor Jun's hand stroked her forehead, and gradually, a peach-blossom-shaped birthmark appeared in the middle of Xiao Liu's forehead, and Emperor Jun said: "The change in your appearance is not because of some strange disease, but because you have a rare artifact in your body, called the Rejuvenation Flower, which can make people retain any desired face." ”

Xiao Liu looked at Emperor Jun in confusion, "Artifact? Isn't it a strange disease? Is it an artifact that makes me change my appearance at will? Why is there an artifact sealed in my body? Her eyes lit up suddenly, "Then take out the artifact, and I will be able to reveal my true appearance!" It won't change anymore! ”

"Yes."

Xiaoliu said happily: "Dad, you can help me take it out!" I really hate to change again. I'd rather be ugly than be a fake beauty with no face. ”

Emperor Jun's finger pointed on the peach blossom-shaped birthmark, and the peach blossom birthmark appeared with a crimson light, and at this time, the blood seal of two people must also be untied by two people, "At present, I have no way to help you take it out." But Dad promises you that he will help you restore your true appearance."

Xiao Liusui couldn't wait to restore her true appearance, but she also knew that there must be a reason for what could make Emperor Jun embarrassed, so she comforted Emperor Jun in turn, "It doesn't matter, it's been so many years anyway, it's okay to wait." ”

Emperor Jun stared at the peach blossom birthmark on Xiao Liu's forehead for a while, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and stroked it, hiding the birthmark.

The big stone in Xiao Liu's heart fell to the ground, and the estrangement between him and his father was eliminated, and the whole person became completely different.

She chattered and asked Emperor Jun all kinds of things, and later she even had the audacity to say: "Dad, can I not be the princess of Gaoxin?" I'm not saying it's not your daughter, I just don't want to be a princess. ”

"No way!"

"Why not?" Xiao Liu has already begun to glare at Emperor Jun angrily.

"Because you are my daughter, I am Emperor Gao Xinjun."

Xiao Liu immediately changed his face, pitifully grabbed Emperor Jun's arm, and shook it around, "But it's so hard to be a princess, you have to pay attention to etiquette when you eat, you have to pay attention to etiquette when you go out, and in the end, even marriage has to become a political victim, I really don't want to be Wang Ji!" ”

Emperor Jun said: "People must know etiquette and then shame, and etiquette is not a bad thing." As for marriage, to whom do you think I can sacrifice you? ”

Xiao Liu stammered, "I don't know who you're going to sacrifice me to, anyway, ...... anyway"

Emperor Jun looked at Xiao Liu and said solemnly: "I am Emperor Jun, you are my daughter, you must be the prince of Gaoxin, this is a gift of the country, understand?" ”

Xiao Liu lowered his head and muttered, "Can it be done if you don't understand?" ”

Emperor Jun's hand stroked Xiao Liu's head, and his tone revealed sadness, "I am not an ordinary father, I have too many things to do, and there are people in a country to worry about, I can't take care of my daughter from time to time like other fathers, and stay by my daughter's side to protect her." The protection I can give my daughter is my majesty, only you are the princess of Gaoxin, can you enjoy the prestige of a country, anyone who hurts you must consider whether they can withstand the wrath of the emperor, Xiaoyao, at this time, the prestige that my incompetent father can give you, don't refuse, okay? ”

Xiao Liu felt that his tears were about to fall again, so he quickly took a deep breath, "Dad, I am willing to be Wang Ji." ”

Emperor Jun smiled and said: "Being a princess is not all bad, you can at least bully others, be arrogant, and grab whatever you value." ”

Xiaoliu blinked, "Dad, are you sure you're teaching your daughter?" ”

Emperor Jun laughed happily, and there were fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that spread out, but it did not damage his charm, "What am I working so hard to be a monarch?" You can't do anything, first, you don't have time, and second, once you're casual, you'll have the imperial history to scold you. If I'm really an incompetent dumbfounder, you can't do anything, because I can't do anything, you happen to be able to do anything. Who called me a capable king, powerful and majestic enough, and able to control everything? ”

Xiaoliu only felt incredible, but he couldn't help but want to laugh, it feels so good to have a father! The feeling of having a strong father is too good to say!

That night, Xiao Liu and Emperor Jun sat on the stone steps of the pavilion and kept talking.

Xiaoliu felt as if there were many, many things to tell her father, the first time she hunted a tiger, she stole snake and demon eggs, she prepared poison, she went to a brothel, she opened a medical hall...... The fat lady who took her in the mountain village taught her to cook, she was pursued by the beautiful Maiko, picked up the old wood that she went back to be a doctor, and the pockmarks and skewers she picked up...... There are simply too many things and too many people, and she wants to say it and let her father know.

She wanted her father to understand that in the past 200 years, there were not only painful things, but also many fun and happy things, and the people she met were not all bad people, but also met many good people. Because of these colorful experiences, she couldn't even imagine the life of being an honest princess, she felt that this was the life she should live, so her father didn't have to be sad. You don't have to blame yourself.

Xiaoliu doesn't remember what she said later, she only remembers that she was talking and laughing, and after saying that, she was tired, and fell asleep on her father's lap like when she was a child.

In the morning, like a kitten, Xiao Liu tiptoed out of the house slowly, took a few turns in the courtyard, lazily leaned on the flowers and trees, squinted at the sun, and smiled happily.

Zhen Xuan and Seventeen sat under the porch playing chess, and seeing her and the delicate faces of the flower tree and the flowers, Seventeen's heart skipped a few beats. Zhen Xuan joked to Xiao Liu, "Did you steal the fish?" ”

Xiao Liu held the flower branch in his hand, "I talked a lot with my dad last night. ”

"You talk the most, but you talk as if you don't talk every day."

Xiao Liu pounced over and made a gesture to pinch Zhen Xuan's neck, "I'll tell you, don't think that I'm bullying if I don't have spiritual power now, and I will anger me, I will make you unable to speak and your hands to move." ”

Zhen Xuan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'm playing chess, don't mess with my chess pieces." ”

Xiao Liu looked down at the chessboard, and found that this chessboard was not an ordinary chessboard, but a chessboard used by the gods. ”

Zhen coaxed her, "I finally said that Seventeen will play chess with me, and I will take you to play after playing this game with him." ”

Xiaoliu pouted and rubbed to Seventeen's side: "I want to go down." ”

Seventeen really put the chess box in his hand to Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu glanced at Zhen Xuan demonstratively, pinched a chess piece, looked left and right, landed in a place, and asked Seventeen sideways, "Is it good here?" ”

"Good!" But it was Zhuan Xuan and Seventeen who spoke in unison, but one was full of ridicule and the other was warm and peaceful.

Zhen Xuan stood up and pushed Xiao Liu to where he was sitting, "Anyway, you don't want me to play chess with Seventeen, so you can play with him!" ”

Xiaoliu clapped his hands, "This is like an older brother!" ”

Xiao Liu continued to play chess, and he continued to regret and stink. Seventeen is very patient, no matter what Xiaoliu does, he is good-natured and says yes. But he is not perfunctory with Xiao Liu, but is really playing against Xiao Liu, and he is not merciful where he should eat the chess pieces. It's just that after eating, he will tell Xiao Liu that if she plays the first few moves, he can't eat her chess pieces.

In his view, it was like a child rolling on the ground, messing around, and the adult did not beat him to stop him, nor did he condone him to meet his demands, but slowly reasoned, and if he couldn't listen once, he would speak a second time; If you can't listen to it twice, you will speak it a third time; If you can't listen three times, you will speak a fourth time......

Half an hour later, the great country built on the chessboard was tossed by Xiaoliu. Xiao Liu refused to drop again, and swiped her hands on the chessboard a few times, messing up all the chess pieces, and she announced: "I won!" ”

Zhen shook his head and sighed, and Seventeen looked at Xiao Liu and smiled, his eyes full of reluctance.

Xiao Liu's heart suddenly skipped a few beats, and he quieted down and looked at Seventeen in silence.

Seventeen said, "I'm leaving." ”

Xiao Liu played with the chess pieces and was silent, and Seventeen said: "I have always been worried, but now I see it, His Majesty Emperor Jun and Prince Zhuan treat you very well, you are very happy here, I have to go back to deal with my own affairs." ”

Xiaoliu said, "I understand. When are you leaving? ”

"I'll go and say goodbye to Your Majesty later, I don't want people to know that Tu Shanjing knows you, so I plan to leave at night, go to live elsewhere for two days, and then go back to Qingqiu."

Xiaoliu said: "Then you go and say goodbye to my father!" ”

Zhen Xuan got up, "I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Liu sat in the courtyard and waited, and after about half an hour, Seventeen came back.

Xiaoliu asked, "Did my father say anything?" ”

"I asked a few questions about the family, but I didn't say anything special."

Xiao Liu said: "It's still a while until dark, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I don't do anything, just bask in the sun, smell the flowers, and eat snacks."

Since Xiao Liu said that he likes to eat duck necks, chicken feet, and goose paws, Huayin Hall has been ready at any time. Seventeen took the big box of snacks and sat side by side with Xiaoliu under the porch, facing the flowers.

Xiao Liu picked a duck's neck and gnawed it, "My father said that my change is because there is an artifact hidden in my body, and when he helps me take out the artifact, I won't change again." What if I'm ugly? ”

"You're not."

"What if I were?"

"Good."

"I'm ugly, you think it's good?"

"The beauty of the form is visible to everyone, and the beauty of the heart is not visible to the eyes, and I am willing to enjoy it exclusively."

Xiao Liu's face was a little warm and heartbeat all of a sudden, Seventeen is now if she doesn't open her mouth, and when she opens her mouth, she can always be defeated, "My heart is black and black, where is it beautiful?" ”

"The things of the world, the arsenic of A, the bear's paw of B, all depend on personal feelings, and if you think it is beautiful, it will be beautiful."

Xiao Liu laughed, "It's like Wang Ba to mung beans." ”

Seventeen stared at her and smiled, Xiao Liu smiled and sighed lightly, "You are careful." ”

"I know."

"Although your mother caused everything your eldest brother did, he should not take revenge on you. Even if you pity him and try to dissolve his hatred, don't let him hurt you again. ”

"Don't worry."

"I'm worried? I'm not worried, I just think you're stupid, so I'm kind enough to remind you. ”

Seventeen smiled and said, "I took the tail of the nine-tailed fox that I didn't want." When the spirit weapon is refined, I will give it to you. ”

Xiao Yao nodded, if the nine-tailed fox is the king of the fox clan, then the patriarch of the Tu Shan clan is the king of the fox king, and there is no one in this world who knows better how to use the demon power of the nine-tailed fox than Tu Shanjing.

Little Six chatted with Seventeen while eating snacks. When they remembered something, they said a few words, and when they couldn't remember, the two of them sat silently.

The shadow of the sun gradually set to the west, and the sky gradually became dark.

Xiao Liu couldn't eat, washed his hands, Seventeen picked up the handkerchief, Xiao Liu stretched out his hand, but Seventeen did not hand it to Xiao Liu, but wrapped Xiao Liu's hand with a handkerchief, and slowly helped Xiao Liu wipe it, it had already been wiped dry, he still did not withdraw his hand, and held Xiao Liu's hand with both hands through the handkerchief.

Xiao Liu's heart was a little panicked and he lowered his head.

Seventeen whispered, "Fifteen years, don't let other men live in your heart." ”

Xiao Liu raised his head and asked with a smile: "What about fifteen years later?" Can I let other men in after fifteen years? ”

Seventeen's face changed slightly, and his hands were tightly holding Xiao Liu's hand.

Xiao Liu shook his hand gently, and said softly: "You can go with peace of mind, fifteen you, I will wait for you." "Since there is no way to cut off the thread, let's give the thread fifteen years, as for the fifteen years later, whether the thread disappears or is woven into a net, no one knows.

After dinner, Zhuan Xuan personally escorted Seventeen out of Wushen Mountain.

When he came back, Xiaoliu was lying on the agarwood couch in the courtyard to watch the stars.

He sat down on the couch, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Look at the stars."

"Isn't it sad? I thought you enjoyed his company. ”

"I like his company very much, but I know that no one in this world can accompany anyone for a lifetime. You and I are both people who have experienced too many separations, and we have suffered that heart-rending pain too many times. The heart doesn't want to bear that kind of pain anymore, and naturally becomes very self-protective, and when it sounds good, it is called reason, and when it is bad, it is called coldness. Do you feel this way? When you have it, no matter how happy you are, it's like having another self looking down on you in the air while rejoicing, reminding you of your loss. Because of this sober and rational mind, even if you are happy, you will have a faint sadness, and when you really lose, because you have been prepared, even if you are sad, you will accept it calmly. ”

He slid down on the collapsed dragon seat, leaned his head back on the couch, and looked at the stars with Xiao Liutou next to his head.

After a while, he said, "I always felt that I was the only one left in the world, and now that you are back, I no longer feel lonely." ”

Compared with Xiaoliu, Zhuan is the real orphan. At a very young age, his father died in battle, his mother committed suicide in front of his father's grave, and within a few years of peaceful life, his grandmother died of illness, and his aunt, who had been taking care of him, also died in battle. Having lost the protection of his relatives, he had to leave his homeland and come to Gosin alone in order to survive.

Xiaoliu said, "I'm sorry. "She is a very selfish and ruthless person, knowing that Zhuan Xuan is waiting for her, knowing that Zhuan needs her, but because of the knot in her heart, she runs away again and again.

Zhen Yan patted Xiao Yao's hand and didn't say anything. Zhen once imagined that Xiao Yao should be like Ah Nian, growing in the sun and rainbows, never seeing darkness and wind and rain, as delicate and pure as a gardenia in April. If Xiao Yao was like that, he would try his best to protect him and cover her from the darkness and wind and rain, but now Xiao Yao is not what he thought it would be, but he was not disappointed, but felt that this was the Xiao Yao he wanted, even better than all imagination. Even after a long time, they can still fully understand each other's thoughts, whether they are beautiful or ugly, one is not afraid to show it, and the other fully understands.

"I have something to tell you." If there is anything, Xiaoliu hides it in his heart, and he can't say anything, for fear that once he exits, it will be wrong and painful. Not to mention, it's like a poisonous insect in my heart, gnawing at her every day. Only with Zhen Xuan can she confide without burden.

"You say!" Zhen Xuan said nonchalantly.

Xiao Liu whispered: "That nine-tailed fox demon said that I am not the daughter of my father, that my mother is a slut, that I have an affair with Chiyou, and that I am the wild seed of the bloodthirsty demon Chiyou." "The nine-tailed fox demon often insults her mother, at first she was angry and angry, resolutely disbelieving, and scolded the nine-tailed fox demon, but for thirty years, the nine-tailed fox demon said it over and over again, she was confused.

Zhen Xuan sat up abruptly and glared at Xiao Yao, and he really understood why she didn't come back.

Xiao Liu's expression was blank, but his eyes were full of sadness and fear, "The nine-tailed fox demon said that Chiyou and Niang are adulterers and adulteresses, and I am their wild seed, saying that Niang is cunning and vicious, and has deceived his father and the world, if my father knows the truth, he will definitely get rid of my evil seed ......",

"Shut up!" Zhen Yan shook Xiao Liu's hand hard, "You even believe the words of the nine-tailed fox demon?" Chi You was killed by his aunt, and how smart the master is, don't you know if you are his daughter? You ask yourself, how is Master treating you? ”

Xiao Liu looked at Zhen Xuan, with an urgent request in his eyes, "I'm my father's daughter?" ”

Zhen Xuan said categorically: "You must be Master's daughter!" ”

Father and brother are both extremely smart people, there are two extremely smart people to judge, Xiao Liu finally smiled with relief, "Well, it's me who is too stupid, I must be my father's daughter!"

Zhen Yan sighed, stroked Xiao Yao's head and said, "If anyone tells you nonsense in the future, you tell me, and I will help you deal with it." ”

Xiaoliu nodded, "You know what? The pavilion in Yiqing Garden has been renovated many times, but the paintings I painted are still there. ”

He said, "Master is very good. At that time, the four uncles joined forces to get rid of me, and I remembered that my father had told me a lot about my uncle and Emperor Jun when he was alive, and my aunt had also mentioned to me that although she and Emperor Jun were no longer husband and wife, if there was any difficulty in the future, they could write to Emperor Jun for advice. In desperation, I wrote a letter to Emperor Jun, and he immediately replied to me, saying that Wushen Mountain was always welcome to go. I was very apprehensive when I came, but Master treated me like his own son, and he taught me everything from how to cultivate to how to handle state affairs. When I do well, he will be proud of me; When I do something wrong, he scolds me mercilessly. I was once wounded by an Assassin who encouraged me to train my own personal guards, you know? The guards could not even listen to him, and once he tested them and deliberately gave orders contrary to me, and then the people who listened to him, he told me to kill them all, and he said that these guards were the people with whom I had entrusted my life, and that they must be faithful to me alone. ”

Xiaoliu sighed: "My father is so good, why do you think my mother will take a break from her father?" I thought it was my father who did something sorry for my mother, but you also saw Ah Nian's mother, Ah Nian's big name is Gao Xinyi, the small character Ah Nian, and remember and read, it can be seen that my father will never forget the memories of the past, and there is only one mother in my heart, but why doesn't my mother want my father? A lot of the time, I really hate her! ”

Zhen Xuan thought of his mother and sighed, "I don't know!" We can't understand them! Sometimes, I also hated my mother, and when she committed suicide, she hugged me and cried, and told me to ask me to forgive her. She gave birth to me, but she abandoned me, how do you think I can forgive her? ”

Xiaoliu said, "If I have a child in the future, no matter what happens, I will not leave him." ”

Zhen Xuan said: "In the future, when I marry a woman, I will ask her first, I am dead, are you alive or dead?" If you want to live and die with me, don't do it! ”

Xiao Liu and Zhen Yan looked at each other and laughed at each other.

Zhen Xuan's chin rested on the couch, and his face was next to Xiao Liu's hand, "When I'm ready, let's go back to Xuanyuan Mountain together." I want to know if the phoenix flowers in Chaoyun Hall are still as bright as the morning glow, and whether the jasper mulberry planted by my grandmother is still as green as jade. ”

Xiao Liu stroked his sideburns, "The road to the Cloud Hall is a bloody road. ”

Zhen Xuan smiled disapprerovingly: "The road of conspiracy is to step on blood and bones, I not only want to return to Chaoyun Palace, but also the entire Xuanyuan Mountain." "He is always gentle and elegant in front of people, and he is a gentle son who plays the piano and chess, brews wine and makes iron, so that everyone is like a spring breeze, but in front of Xiao Yao, he naturally exudes ambition and coldness.

Xiao Liu smiled, "Go grab it!" "Just as the phoenix is destined to soar for nine days, Zhuan Xuan is born with power, and she has known it since she was a child.

Zhen Xuan said: "Now almost all the courtiers in the court are Uncle Wang's people, I have tried to write to the merman, please take the prince back to Xuanyuan City, almost the whole court is against it, and the invitation will naturally be gone, if I go back, I must have an excuse, so that everyone can not object, I will probably take advantage of you." ”

Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Please feel free to use it!" ”

Zhen Xuan's forehead was pressed against Xiao Liu's palm, and he whispered, "It's good that you're back!" It doesn't feel like you're alone anymore. ”

"Hey, I didn't say I wanted to help you, I wanted to fight alongside you, did I?"

Zhen Yan looked up and stared at her with a smug expression, "Will you not help?" Who called me your brother? Even if you didn't plan to help, you didn't want to help me obediently when I was in danger! ”

Xiaoliu gave him a punch, "You are shameless!" Other people's brothers said that they wanted to protect their sister, but you were good, and you asked me to protect you. ”

Zhen sighed, "There's no way, I can't beat you since I was a child." ”

"Are you embarrassed?"

"Xiaoyao." His smile faded, and he said a little seriously, "I know you're used to being casual, but I know you can't sit idly by and ignore me. Once I return to Xuanyuan, what I do will definitely affect you, and the people who want to deal with me will definitely calculate you, so why should I say that I don't want to involve you? Instead of yelling at you not to get involved and letting you be targeted, it's better to make it clear early that you have a defense. ”

Xiao Liu patted Zhen Xuan's hand, indicating that she understood.

Xiao Liu said, "Zhuan, do you remember? Grandma grabbed our hands before she died, sighed and said that we are all hard-working children, so we must support and take care of each other in the future. ”

"Yes." How can you forget it if you have it in your heart early? He clearly remembers his grandmother's repeated admonitions. Because of the tragic death of his parents, he has become sensible, and solemnly promised his grandmother that he would take care of and protect his sister, but Xiao Yao still did not understand the world, but he was forced to say that he would take care of and protect his brother.

"I thought my grandmother was sick and confused, you are miserable, but where am I miserable? Now that I think about it, my grandmother seems to have predicted our fate. ”

Zhen Xuan said softly: "Back then, Chaoyun Hall used to laugh and laugh, but now there are only the two of us left!" ”

Xiao Liu was silent, looking at the stars in the sky, and Zhen Xuan also looked up at Tianshan, "Thank you grandma, uncle, aunt, second uncle, father, mother, aunt, and Aunt Zhuyi, for reuniting me and my sister." ”
