Chapter 20: See You All Year Round
On that day, he left the demon world and re-entered the world, and the Jiuhua Emperor was already bleak after the war, and it was deep winter when he left, and so was the day he returned.
The snow on the road melted, and the horse-drawn cart became muddy and muddy after the iron hooves were treaded on it.
The doors of every house are closed, or there are no people inside, and the road should be bustling, but the only remaining pedestrians are in a hurry, and they may stay for a second longer.
As I walked back, I felt a pervasive resentment at every step I took, perhaps this place had just ended the fighting, or it had been in dire straits.
When he was by Yaohua's side, he was also ordered to go out of the palace with the purchase of the palace at the end of the year, and it was never like this when he visited the imperial capital. ”
Everywhere the Fanbang people are shopping in the streets, you can see everywhere, restaurants that never sleep, and lantern juggling at night, all kinds of vendors are called to buy until dawn.
Now the inch of ground under my feet makes it difficult for me to take a step.
Is Yaohua okay.
I didn't dare to enter the Imperial City directly, but first asked someone how Yaohua was doing.
It was good to catch the door of the inn on the side of the road open, so I took the opportunity to enter.
It's also sparsely populated, and there's only one shopkeeper in the store who doesn't even have a buddy, so it seems that business is not doing well now.
"Girl, are you staying in a hotel?"
The shopkeeper Xu hadn't seen a guest officer for a long time, and he was very enthusiastic when he saw me coming.
"Shopkeeper, I'm from out of town and want to ask you about something, I don't know if it's convenient for you."
Seeing that I didn't live in the hotel, I didn't treat him coldly, but asked me to do it first, and poured a pot of hot water.
"Girl, you ask, what do you know about the things in this imperial city?"
Seeing the boiling water, I suddenly felt a trace of warmth in my heart, which was freezing cold outside.
"Does the fifth prince Yaohua still live in the palace now, or does he have another mansion?"
When I said this, the shopkeeper looked surprised and sighed again.
"The girl doesn't look like you're here from a foreign land, but if not, you can't know about such a big thing."
·····
"Three years ago, my father and I went to other countries to take a caravan, the journey was far away, and I only returned to Beijing recently, so I ······"
I had to lie and make it up.
"The girl looks like the eldest lady of the Shangjia family, but you are afraid that you can't remember it now, and now she has ascended to the dragon throne and is the co-lord of Kyushu."
He's talking about Yaohua?
"You're talking about the Fifth Prince Yaohua?"
It's only been three years, and His Majesty was still in the prime of life at that time, how could Yaohua succeed to the throne so quickly, and there was also a Qingyang among them.
The shopkeeper nodded.
I covered my mouth in disbelief.
"I'm afraid that the girl is still thinking about the Fifth Highness three years ago? Listen to the old man's advice, let's find a good place to marry, this person is not as good as it was three years ago. ”
I can hear something in the shopkeeper's words, Yaohua has changed in his mouth, I don't believe it, it's my Yaohua, I don't see him with my own eyes, I still half-believe what others say.
"And what's going on in this depressed city?"
Could it be that this is also related to Yaohua, he shouldn't bear to see Emperor Jiuhua so wasted.
"There were two people vying for the throne back then, one was the current emperor, and the other girl must have known that it was His Royal Highness Qingyang."
The word "back then" let me know that it was now three years old, and Yaohua was already twenty years old.
Xu is already past the weak crown ceremony.
"What happened to His Royal Highness Qingyang?"
Although he didn't like Qingyang in the past, he and Yaohua competed for the throne probably didn't end well.
"Girl, you are asking, now this war is all because of the Nine Emperor Prince Qingyang, this matter has to start from the winter hunt three years ago, at that time, when our Majesty Yaohua came down from the mountain, no one knew what happened and clamored to go up the mountain, no one could stop it, so they rode away, and when people saw His Highness again, they were in the middle of the mountain, they were poisoned by snakes, and almost died, and when they woke up again, they lost their memories of the past, but their wrists became better than before.
Qingyang, the Nine Emperor Princes, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, although he gave up the imperial capital of Jiuhua and occupied the sixteen counties in the south of the Yangtze River with an army of 100,000.
The Jiuhua Emperor that the girl saw in front of her was the scene just after the conscription.
Let's talk about His Majesty's temperament, it is said that there is no sadness and ruthlessness, but in the past, people who have seen His Majesty and the current queen in the palace say that His Majesty is cold-blooded to everyone, but he only has a soft spot for the queen, because there is only this one person in the harem.
So, girl, whatever fate you had with Your Majesty in the past, it is time to let go. ”
It turned out that he had no memory and married someone else, and I guessed in my heart who the current queen was.
"Today's queen is Miss Meng Ling of the Meng family."
When Yaohua seized the throne, he had the help of his uncle Meng Guozhang at all times, otherwise, with Xiao Guifei's pillow wind, no matter how capable Ren Yaohua was, he couldn't make the first emperor change his mind, and only by holding power could he force him to give way to himself.
And this half of the power of the court is in the hands of Meng Guozhang, the Meng family is such a daughter, it is estimated that it is good that Meng Ling likes Yaohua, if he likes Qingyang, I am afraid that I will go to the barren mountain cemetery to find Yaohua's corpse in the near future.
"It seems that the girl was not an ordinary family affair back then, but she came back too late, and the current queen is the only daughter of the Meng family."
Hearing this name that I had already guessed, I was a little stunned in my heart, Yao Huaxu loved her very much, and I was afraid that the whispers I had had just forgotten completely.
The shopkeeper's eyes were full of regret when they looked at me.
······
Even if I am with Meng Ling, His Royal Highness still has to go and see if Yaohua still remembers me.
When I entered the palace, I thought it was late at night, and if I walked in openly, I was afraid that it would not work, and I was afraid that there was no chamberlain named Ah Huan in Chonghua Palace.
Or after I was forgotten by Yaohua, no one else will remember, these fourteen years are like a dream, I ended up being empty around Yaohua, I thought I could take root in his heart earlier, but I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven.
Riding my little crane, the second sister also left me this little crane when she threw me in the demon world that day, maybe she knew that I would have to go out for a walk in the future.
"Little Crane, you have to go back to the Qiankun Mirror in a while, don't miss me too much, you have to stay in it for a long time."
We hovered over the palace, and the little crane turned around and rubbed my head against my long neck.
"It's time to go down."
Now I'm not sure if Xiao Yaohua still lives in Chonghua Palace, or if there is someone else living with him.
The little crane looked at me reluctantly, and finally walked into the mirror.
I was a little nervous and sneaked into the Chonghua Palace, but it couldn't be regarded as sneaking in, after all, His Royal Highness was an immortal, and even if I didn't want to be seen when I met, I couldn't see them.
