After Scarlet Feather finished speaking, she bent her legs and prepared to kneel.
Do not kneel. Zuo Ying stopped, "Your injury is in the waist and abdomen, and you always get up on your knees, and the wound will easily collapse." I will give you no need to kneel down when you see anyone for a month. ”
Scarlet Feather, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her head slightly, glanced at Zuo Ying with grateful eyes, and lowered her head again.
He clenched his hands in his sleeves, took a deep breath secretly, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "Your Majesty, Scarlet Feather is a guilty person, and he doesn't dare not kneel ......" After saying that, he covered his knees and fell to the ground.
His brows furrowed slightly, as if this act of "disobedience to the holy decree" had broken through his bottom line, "Scarlet Feather has something, please dare to report to Your Majesty alone, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow Scarlet Feather to plead?" ”
Zuo Ying nodded, and the other palace maids around him all retreated knowingly, and exited the door one after another, and soon only Zuo Ying and Scarlet Feather were left in the room.
Scarlet Feather kowtowed on the ground three times before he got up and said, "Scarlet Feather Xie Your Majesty will not pursue Scarlet Feather's crime of bullying the king." ”
Power is a powerful thing, even if it doesn't give people extra favors, as long as it doesn't punish indiscriminately, it already makes people grateful to Dade.
Zuo Ying also guessed that he was going to say this nine times out of ten, he was a person who was afraid of indebting others even if he received a little benefit, not to mention the big thing of sparing his life. She said flatly: "Don't mention this matter again." You have done a great job in saving the driver, and when you are healed, I will have another reward. ”
"Your Majesty......" Scarlet Feather suddenly raised her head and looked at Zuo Ying with unprecedented stubbornness, "Why didn't Your Majesty inquire about why Scarlet Feather, who is a palace maid, is a man?" ”
Although Zuo Ying had been mentally prepared, she was still a little surprised that Scarlet Feather could say such a direct word. She smiled lightly, "If you want to tell me, you will; If you don't want to say it, there's no need for me to force you to use lies to make a difference. ”
"Scarlet Feather Xie Your Majesty is magnanimous." Scarlet Feather kowtowed again and said: "Scarlet Feather doesn't want to hide anything from His Majesty, Scarlet Feather will reveal the secrets and discernments on his body." ”
Zuo Ying waited for him to continue with encouraging eyes.
Scarlet Feather began to narrate: "Scarlet Feather has had a bad fate since she was a child, and when she was less than five years old, she was kidnapped from the door of her house by thieves and transferred to a trafficker who specializes in selling young children. At that time, the fighting in Guanzhong had not completely subsided, and many families had their children killed on the battlefield, and many wealthy families would buy young children from traffickers to raise them in order to prevent them from dying of old age. However, this has led to the rampant abduction of children and thieves and traffickers, and many families that were originally intact have been torn apart. In the year of Scarlet Feather's captivity, the government cracked down on the crime of human trafficking, and the traffickers were all in danger and hiding in Tibet. Scarlet Feather escaped by chance, and finally escaped from the clutches of human traffickers. It's a pity that at that time, Scarlet Feather had been thousands of miles away from home, and he couldn't say the name of his hometown, so he could no longer find his way home, and finally had to live on the streets alone. Fortunately, after wandering for a few days, he was taken in by an old father who sang alone, and taught Scarlet Feather the skills of Acura, so that Scarlet Feather had a skill; Later, because of the company with the martial artists who sold martial arts along the street, he learned some superficial fist and foot kung fu. Seven years ago, his father died of illness, and Scarlet Feather made a living by singing alone, until he met His Majesty, and was brought into the palace as a maid by His Majesty's grace, and since then he has something to rely on. Scarlet Feather has been away from home since he was a child, and his impression of his hometown and family has become increasingly blurred, and even his closest relatives only have a hazy outline in Scarlet Feather's mind, and they may never know each other again. ”
Hearing this, Zuo Ying couldn't help but think of the lyrics of "Wushan High" that Scarlet Feather often sang - "Wushan is high, high and big." The water is deep and difficult to pass away. I want to return to the east, but I don't do it. Water He Liang, soup soup back. Looking at the water, people from afar are home. Crying and getting dressed, what do you mean. ”
Isn't what these lyrics describe the loneliness and sorrow of people who are far away from their hometown? Thinking of returning, but not knowing where home is, I can only lament that the mountains that block the way home are so steep and insurmountable; complained that the rivers and rivers on the way home were so vast and endless. But in fact, the mountains and rivers here are seemingly tangible, but in fact they are invisible - even if Wushan and Huaishui are flattened, it is impossible to help the singers whose names and relatives have lost their memories to find their way home.
Although Scarlet Feather's tone was calm, it was not difficult for Zuo Ying to hear the faint sadness hidden in it. She finally understood the reason for the formation of his subtle and introverted personality.
"But," Scarlet Feather said, pausing here before continuing, "Some of the words taught by the elders of the family are still deeply imprinted in Scarlet Feather's mind. These words sounded profound and difficult to understand at the time, and they didn't know why, but because they couldn't understand it for a while, Scarlet Feather remembered it to this day. The elders of the family once said that we seem to be no different from foreigners, but in fact this is not the case. The people of our tribe are naturally different, whether it is physical appearance, muscles and bones, or customs and habits, they are quite different from the people in the world, so they live in isolation and rarely interact with the outside world. ”
"They say that the greatest difference between our people and the foreigners is that the foreigners are born male and female; And there is no distinction between male and female when I am born, and all the babies are like the female babies that the strangers think. Until...... It is not until adulthood, when there is a firm choice in the heart, that the gender will be determined and the body will change. ”
"Scarlet Feather, like the rest of the clan, didn't know what gender was when she was young. Later, she was adopted as a girl by her father, but she gradually grew up with age...... I found that other female companions have ......" Speaking of this, Scarlet Feather's thin face was as red as an autumn maple leaf, and the words were worded for a moment before continuing: "In short, Scarlet Feather found that compared with her female companion, she lacked many of the characteristics that women should have, so she recalled the words taught by her elders more and more clearly, and gradually understood the meaning. ”
Finally bypassing the passage expressing the suffering, Scarlet Feather took a breath, cleaned up her embarrassment, and continued: "Because she knows that she is different from others, Scarlet Feather has always been careful to guard her secrets, for fear that she will be found to be an alien and be disliked. Scarlet Feather is a capital crime, even in the face of His Majesty, he has never had the courage to confess. And Scarlet Feather thinks, Scarlet Feather will stay in the palace for the rest of his life and serve His Majesty, without him thinking, body and gender are not important to Scarlet Feather, His Majesty likes Scarlet Feather's singing, Scarlet Feather will sing for His Majesty for a lifetime, and he will be satisfied. Until ......"
