Chapter 5: The Moment of Parting
Yulian slept until noon on the second day: "No, I have to get up, the lotus pond is so magical, I have to go and see it again." She quickly got up and packed up and ran towards the lotus pond.
"Luhua, you help me watch at the intersection, and if someone comes, tell me immediately." She turned back to Lu Hua as she ran.
Luhua didn't know what the princess was going to do, but she just felt that she didn't have to worry about her anymore, just listen to her.
Yulian came to the lotus pond and walked along the lotus pond a few times, without any abnormality.
The snow stopped, and there was a little sun shining down, and she walked in a hurry, and she was by the hot spring again, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Yulian simply took off her cloak, jumped into the lotus pond, and searched for it in the water, half of the pool was full of lotus flowers, and the other half was open water.
As she swam, she felt everything in the lotus pond.
She grew up in the south and is very water-oriented, so she flips freely in the water, and her body is graceful, swimming like a mermaid.
And at this moment, behind the pavilion by the lotus pond, a pair of clear eyes were looking at the swimming Yulian, and said in his heart: "Could it be that she is the princess of the jade lotus? Sure enough, it's not an ordinary person. ”
When he saw that Yulian was swimming happily, he stood quietly in place, not wanting to disturb her.
Yulian swam around a few times, but when she was tired, she felt that there was no change or abnormality, so she went back disappointed.
After she left, the man behind the gazebo walked out and came to the residence of the crown princess.
"Sister, I just met Princess Yulian, what a strange woman." The man said casually after seeing the crown princess.
"It's so rare to hear the words of praise from your mouth, brother, a woman! Isn't it tempted? The crown princess teased her brother.
He smiled faintly, noncommittal, and then the two siblings began to gossip intimately.
After Yulian returned to the hall, she was still puzzled: "It's strange, is it the wrong time?" I still need some specific factors, why is there no abnormality at all today, no, I'll try again tomorrow at noon. ”
Yulian is just unwilling, and she must go to the lotus pond again.
In the afternoon of the second day, Yulian did not allow Luhua to follow, and came to the lotus pond alone, staring at the lotus pond with her eyes, but there was still nothing abnormal.
She sat on the edge of the lotus pond and muttered to herself: "What should I do now, it seems that only in the lotus pond can I cross, but I can't cross it if I want to; What's even more distressing is that I'm going back to the Floating Jade Country in two days, and if I leave here, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to wear it back again, right? ”
Yulian thought about it hard, and regretted that she had refused Xuanyuan Xuanling's retention that day.
"What to do, what to do?" She pounded the ground with her hands in anguish.
"Why are you so irritable!" A gentle and pleasant voice came from behind Yulian.
It turned out that she was so engrossed that no one was standing behind her and didn't notice it.
Yulian turned around and looked at the man: dressed in white, like a bright moon and a breeze, floating out of the dust.
If Xuanyuan Xuanling is a flawless piece of cold white jade, the person in front of him is a pearl, shining with a lustrous light.
"The only good thing about this Xuanyuan Palace is that there are so many beautiful men!" Yulian was stunned, and blurted out the words in her heart, although her face was covered by a veil, her eyes bloomed with light.
"Oh, yes! It seems that Princess Yulian has good eyesight. The man on the other side said with a faint smile.
"Ahh How do you know me, and who are you? "Yulian has finally returned to reality from her beauty.
"In the Lower East Qiongyu."
"Ouch, even the name is so fairy, she is starting to indulge in it again.
"Princess Yulian, can you tell me about your troubles?" Dongfang suddenly asked again.
"I just want to go back to where I came from, but I just can't!" Yulian looked at the fairy-like face in front of her, and she really couldn't tell a lie.
"Oh..... Then if it comes, it will be safe, and then just let it be. The East seems to have something to say, word by word.
"Ouch, you're not me, how do you know my difficulties, and how can you be safe? Alas, but that's all there is to it for now, so let's be safe! Yulian muttered quietly.
"That's great, so I will say goodbye in the next place, the mountains are high and the water is long, and there will be a period later." After Dongfang finished speaking, he left without hurry.
Yulian looked at his back and sighed: "Alas, such a fairy-like character, I'm afraid it will be indefinite." Of course she didn't know that Dongfang had been silently watching her for the past two days.
Yulian shook her head suddenly, reminding herself not to think about it, to pack up her mood, and to return to China with the envoy tomorrow!
On this day, it was Xuanyuan Xuanling's enthronement ceremony.
The palace is solemn and solemn, and the inside and outside of the main hall are full of civil and military officials.
Xuanyuan Xuanling, dressed in the emperor's crown, slowly approached the dragon chair and sat down steadily.
Hundreds of officials worshipped, and Emperor Xuanyuan was like a rainbow. He sat on the dragon chair of the Ninety-Five Supreme, looking at all beings in the world.
This day is also the day when Yulian leaves the Xuanyuan Palace.
After she waited for the envoys to congratulate the new Emperor Xuanyuan, she was about to return to her hometown with their group.
Yulian sat in the car, and after leaving the gate of the palace, she suddenly hesitated, and kept thinking of Xuanyuan Xuanling in her mind!
Yulian thought about him when he held her wrist tightly; Thinking about the time when he shot the dagger; Thinking about the time when he kept himself in the lotus pond.
In fact, she already knew in her heart that Xuanyuan Xuanling was not as indifferent and ruthless as the legend, and under his cold face was a pure heart.
At this time, on the high city wall, Xuanyuan Xuanling was silently watching Yulian's carriage drift away.
"What is she, will soon forget about her, soon." Xuanyuan Xuanling gritted his teeth and said.
Behind him, there was a person standing: his friend, Dongfang Qiongyu, who was also the younger brother of the crown princess, was silently watching his actions.
"The emperor's brother-in-law, why don't you leave her behind if you are so reluctant to give up the princess? As long as you open your mouth, what woman can refuse? Dongfang said with a smile.
"How do you know I didn't keep her!" Xuanyuan Xuanling sighed and continued: "She is different from others, I am just an ordinary man in front of her. ”
"Ah, you actually kept the princess, and the princess even rejected you, you are the Xuanyuan Emperor of the Great Hua Kingdom! Don't you be ashamed! Dongfang Qiongyu shouted.
Only Dongfang Qiongyu dared to talk to Xuanyuan Xuanling like this: because the two of them grew up together since childhood, they are monarchs and ministers to the outside and close friends in private.
"Hey, can you give some face, after I first ascended the throne, I was already a domineering emperor." Xuanyuan Xuanling glared at Dongfang coldly.
He didn't wait for Dongfang to speak, and continued pessimistically: "What is it to lose face? It's that I'm in front of her, and I'm not like the original me at all, which is the most terrifying. ”
"Ah, it's so serious, can't she even have witchcraft!" Dongfang teased him.
Xuanyuan Xuanling was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Anyway, she is gone, and she will be forgotten soon!" Soon! He seemed to convince himself.
"It's a bit difficult to see you like this!" Dongfang also sighed deeply.
