Chapter 245: The Child Who Speaks Meekly
At this time, Shen Qingning and Xiao Zhan were standing not far away, taking in all of this.
Women don't smile, it's about the benefit of being young, no matter what troubles you have, you can laugh and solve a thousand sorrows.
She remembered that when she was young, when she was in the army with Su Muyue, she was also a shy girl who didn't know the world like Xing'er, as if she could live freely like a girl who didn't know the taste of sorrow forever, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the lines of age had climbed into the corners of her eyes, telling her that everything was over.
The people around her also left her one by one, and she was already puzzled by the taste, she thought like this, as if she drank another sip of mare's milk, ate a mouthful of bread, and said with a smile: "If all the troubles in this life are just like this mare's milk has a fishy smell, and the bread can't be bitten, how good it would be!" If you drink and swallow it like this, you will have no worries! ”
Xiao Zhan turned his head to look at her, seeing her light and breezy appearance, and the sour smell of mare's milk faintly wafting in the air, he frowned slightly, smiled slightly, and asked: "Why doesn't my aunt drink the milk that my nephew gave you, I still remember that when you and I first went to the battlefield, we couldn't get used to drinking the mare's milk in the northwest!" ”
"I also spent my early years on this battlefield, sometimes I was trapped and couldn't get out, I couldn't even eat these things, Zhan'er must know what it was like!" Shen Qingning glanced at Xiao Zhan as he spoke, "Maybe there are more difficult times!" ”
She said this without frivolity, but with a little warmth, she looked at the sky, and said a little sadly: "Now out of this cage, no matter what you eat, it tastes, and the life in the palace is like chewing wax for me, and now I feel that I am still alive!" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded, and said, "When I can't get used to eating these things, I will think of the good things at home, and miss the food and relatives at home...... Because I want to go home quickly, I work even harder when I go to the battlefield, always thinking about driving these foreigners out, so that I can go home when the time comes, eat the hometown food I miss, and love my family......"
As he spoke, he paused again, looked at the woman, and said, "Maybe my aunt can know who my real parents are and how they died!" ”
"Don't you already know?" Shen Qingning looked back at him, and then pointed to the waist knife on his waist, "I think what they said will be compared."
I know a lot, and I can say a lot I don't know! ”
He pulled out the waist knife at his waist, looked at the cold tip of the knife, and shook his head: "Once you hold it, you have been involved in this silent struggle, no one's words can be trusted, and everyone's words must be listened to, because I have no choice!" ”
Xiao Zhan said and put the knife back into the scabbard, whistled loudly, kicked the yellow sand on the soles of his feet, and laughed loudly: "I have been trying my best to be a good child since I was a child, listening to my father and mother, taking care of my sister, and never disobeying the words of my elders, I want to know if it is the same if I am next to my biological parents!" ”
"It's the same."
Shen Qingning turned his head and looked at the man with a touch of sadness with a gentle expression, rubbing his hands that were cooled by the cold wind of the desert, "You have always been a good child, just like Tu Yin'er was separated from me when she was born less than a month ago, and now looking at her again, she has also grown into a good child, this is the answer, it can also be said to be fate!" ”
The man's smile was like the sun suddenly shining in winter, and it hit people's hearts warmly, "Auntie, you are really not suitable to stay in the palace!" ”
Shen Qingning glanced at him and said, "So, do I still need to answer the question I just asked you?" ”
He smiled and sat on the ground casually, "Maybe I prefer to believe in fate, the original ambition of my life was used to expel foreigners, but I didn't expect that this foreigner was myself, which is ridiculous!" ”
Shen Qingning sat down next to him, shook his head, and said: "You can't say that, if you are based on your mother's race, you are Han, and your father was originally the prince of the Jin Dynasty, but he accidentally became the Khan of Mongolia, and finally ended up depressed because of the Mongolian infighting!" Even if you can know your roots, how can you sort out who you really are! ”
The man grabbed a handful of yellow sand and sprinkled it into the distance, "What kind of woman is my mother?" Tell me about her, aunt! ”
"Your mother is a beauty!" Shen Qingning paused, looked at him, and said, "You are very similar to your mother!" ”
"What if it's a beauty? In the end, I can't die well! The corners of Xiao Zhan's mouth hooked up into a self-deprecating smile, "I don't want to be like them!" ”
Shen Qingning heard the contempt and self-deprecation in his words, and he didn't say much.
Xiao Zhan took out the wine bag on his waist, raised his head, and raised the skin bag to drink.
The strong smell of liquor poured straight into his throat, and little by little it invaded the internal organs of his body, and the burning sensation spread all the way to his internal organs, as if a small knife tip was scraping his body one by one.
He wiped the corners of his mouth in a chic manner, but he couldn't help the taste of the liquor, and leaned over and choked out.
Shen Qingning smiled unconsciously, reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, took the wine bag from his hand, took a few sips, slowly tasted its sweetness, and said: "Zhan'er has only learned to drink this Hu wine for a long time, although you are a man, you can't drink it like this, the first drinker has to take a small sip of the wine, and wait until you get used to its spiciness, so that you don't ask about the taste, only ask the taste buds!" ”
After she said that, she came to take the skin bag in Xiao Zhan's hand, faintly with the smell of iron horses and leather nitrate with blades, Xu was the appearance of following Xiao Zhan for a long time, and was slightly choked.
Shen Qingning raised his head and drank a few sips of the spirit, and said with a wanton smile: "This wine is delicious!" The woman looked at him, the smile in her eyes became thicker, and her tone became a little warmer, "Where will this person's life be smooth sailing, just go!" ”
The woman said and put the skin beside her, stood up, the wind carried her dress and hair, she looked at the blue color in the sky, and for a while she felt all kinds of tastes in her heart, but her mouth just smiled: "God is not pleasing to people's hearts, and gives us all kinds of suffering, what can we do if we are not convinced, not to mention that there is still a long way to go?" ”
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly, looked at Shen Qingning with a dashing face, and secretly thought that she must have been an extraordinary woman when she was young, so she could be so comfortable!
It's really painful to think about him like this, if he is not even as a woman, what should he do if he lives in this world, his current situation is already very bad, if there is a slight mistake, there will be more than a few people involved.
Shen Qingning glanced at his low and lonely gaze, sat down quietly, picked up the wine bag and handed it to him, and said casually: "Zhan'er, I know that for so many years, it has not been easy for you, your father values you very much, but I know your father's temperament, in order to please him, you have always been strict with yourself, but why do you need to be a docile and obedient child all the time, if you want to say anything, what you want to do, just do it!" Don't grieve yourself! ”
"My father treats me as a father and a friend, but it's impossible to do what I want!" Duan Chuyi took the wine bag and swept a dry branch and gently swept across the sand, "There are not many choices I can make, if I am half a point wrong, what should the people who are involved, I can't give up on them like this, because this is my fate, I can only be docile and obedient to fate." ”
Shen Qingning stared at her with a smile, "I have been in the palace for so many years, and I have always restrained my nature, and I have already developed a docile temperament, but I do understand that being docile and obedient to the emperor is because of power, or because of the situation, but it can be regarded as an eye-opener, and now I will be myself!" That's how you feel like you're free! ”
Xiao Zhan looked at the woman's indifferent appearance, and secretly made a comparison in his heart, when he saw her in the palace, he would only think that she was a dignified and atmospheric lady, who was cautious and cautious in everything she spoke, but never thought that she would be such a character!
The woman turned her head, stared at him and said: "I have seen everything in the palace for so many years, this has always been the hysteria of the queen who has always been indifferent, the arrogant and domineering Concubine Zheng Guifei is crying bitterly behind her back, but the emperor who is powerful in the world is worried, there is no one around him who can be trusted, or the people who have nothing are willing to eat and enjoy it, I have seen it with my own eyes, so there is a comparison, and I also know what kind of life is the happiest to live!" ”
After Shen Qingning finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhan with a pensive face, and after a moment, he said, "Zhan'er wants to be just an ordinary person?" Don't ask about the past, no longer grapple with those hatreds, just be an idle person! ”
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, shook his head again, and said, "If this is the case, I don't have to work hard to get to this point!" ”
He paused and smiled with emotion: "Auntie, do you know that it is not easier for me to come back this time than in the royal struggle of the Jin Dynasty!" In order to survive, I have to fight for it! ”
The woman looked at him and said quite seriously: "You must also know that even if the south and the north are not peaceful, if the emperor wants people's lives, it is not a difficult thing, Zhan'er, you have always been cautious in doing things, and you need to be well-arranged, don't act blindly, everyone in this court is a human spirit, I'm afraid it's better than you!" ”
"Thank you aunt for mentioning it, but I will definitely let the emperor taste the ruin of this family, and let him know that I am comparable to the problems in the southwest and northwest!" He said and narrowed his eyes slightly, "If I hadn't come to this day, I don't know how I became the emperor's ghost, but I'm afraid I don't know how I died in the end!" ”
Shen Qingning said indifferently: "The emperor is ruthless, his mind is only revealed by three points at most!" Others can only guess three points at most! ”
The man's eyes flickered, staring into the distance, "Why do I want to die?" For so many years, I have been sacrificing my life and forgetting death, only in exchange for such an ending, no matter what, I will not give up, and I will let this emperor feel like me! ”
"Zhan'er!" She spat out a short sentence, "Do you know that the merit is high, the king of Furo and your father are like this, the emperor is getting old, and his suspicion is getting heavier and heavier!" ”
He thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Could it be that Yin'er also means the emperor?" ”
Shen Qingning smiled, "How can I leave the palace safely, the emperor just wants to put a long line to catch a big fish, he knows my thoughts, for so many years, he has been secretly observing me, whether it is eating or sleeping, there are always people looking at me without blinking, I have never dared to relax, I am always afraid that something will be revealed, and it will affect the people around me!" ”
He raised the corners of his lips, "The emperor trapped you, not only for his illness, but also for a treasure that can command the world!" ”
"I didn't expect Zhan'er to become smarter and smarter, it seems that he has really grown up!"
Shen Qingning sighed lightly and said with a smile: "The value of this treasure is given by people, if people no longer cherish it, they will no longer feel that it is a strange commodity to live in!" ”
