Chapter 16: The Feast
In the blink of an eye, it was March 10th
Unintentionally and unintentionally, Baili Daddy regards this day as extremely important, worships the Buddha and asks for blessings, which is extremely exaggerated.
Wuxin is wearing a red shirt today, and the skirt is embroidered with a colorful winged phoenix, dazzling, graceful and luxurious, but it does not lose seven points of elegance, and it perfectly sets off all the advantages of her body.
"Miss, do you think that your etiquette is too exaggerated, you actually worship the Buddha in the sky, and invite monks to come to the house to pray for blessings."
Since ancient times, women and flutes have performed coming-of-age ceremonies, pulling their hair in a bun, bringing gold hairpins, and reciting women's scriptures, which has never been seen with this.
"I don't know." She shook her head, not knowing what Daddy was doing.
The three of them were puzzled and obediently obeyed their father's arrangement.
Because the father loves his daughter and Lu, colleagues in the palace also attended the banquet, and the father also intended to introduce her to the people in the court, so he took her to the front yard where the men gathered.
The first thing she saw was the blue-clad man in the crowd, and the two met their eyes and smiled.
Just as Dugu Lian was about to come forward to talk, Jun Ruxi instantly blocked his sight.
"I've seen the prime minister."
"It's Ruxi, Xin'er, this is the eldest prince Jun Ruxi, a former student of my father." Daddy introduced
"I've seen the prince."
Unintentionally and gently hooked her lips, Jun Ruxi, she knows something about this person, after her biological mother died, she was taken by the queen to raise her, and she was the candidate for the crown prince.
"I have heard the name of Miss for a long time, and when I saw it today, the rumors were not credible."
Indeed, the original owner is stupid and the whole country knows that people are afraid that they often mention it as a joke before and after meals.
"I heard that the prince led troops to exterminate the big bandits half a month ago, and the people were full of praise, congratulations to the prince for gaining the hearts of the people."
"In his place, let him be."
He took out a beautiful peach blossom hairpin from his belt, twisted the hairpin head with his fingertips and inserted it into his heartless hair.
"It's beautiful."
Unintentionally touching the hairpin on his head, the beads are smooth and jade, if it is exchanged for cash, it should be worth a thousand taels of silver.
"Thank you."
Daddy silently pulled her away and introduced her to the next colleague.
"This is the Mansion Yin of Tianding Mansion, Wang Zhong, Lord Wang."
Since Wuxin entered, a red dress had long been eye-catching, and when he recognized Wuxin as the girl who saved him that day, he already wanted to go up and talk.
"I've seen Xiangye, Xiangye has this girl, it's really a blessing."
"It turned out to be Lord Wang."
Wuxin had expected to meet Wang Zhong today, so he wasn't too surprised.
"What? The two know each other. ”
"That day......" Wang Zhong was interrupted unintentionally as soon as he wanted to tell what had happened.
"That day, Lord Wang was in some trouble on the mountain, and I helped a little."
A person's personality may change, but it is impossible to have so many abilities out of thin air, she has exposed enough, she is afraid that her father will see something.
"Yes, yes, I was very thirsty when I climbed the mountain, and it was Miss Baili who gave me a pot of water."
Wang Zhong reacted immediately and made up a plausible explanation.
"Yes." Daddy's gaze fluttered back and forth between them, and the meaning of the words was unclear.
Next, Wuxin met several bureaucrats successively, all of whom were close friends of her father, and she sometimes looked at Dugu Lian, who was lonely in the corner.
The general has been guarding the border for many years, and Dugu Lian has supported the entire general's mansion early, but because he doesn't like to deal with people, half of the people in the court do not support him to enter the court as an official, so that he stayed in the country for a year after year.
When Dugu Lian saw her gaze, he would smile at her, and Yu Guang always followed her.
Finally, it was in front of him.
"Dugu Lian."
She shouted very familiarly, and the originally stiff official smile became bright.
"Well, unintentionally, meet again."
Baili Daddy scratched him with white eyes, when did this kid meet his daughter! It must be that Mrs. Chen.
"You left in a hurry that day, and I didn't say goodbye to you."
She sat down beside Dugu Lian, picked up the empty cup on the table and poured two glasses of water, one to her father, and one to drink herself.
My throat was about to smoke.
"It's just that I suddenly remembered something urgent, and I left in a hurry, I'm sorry, today you are in a hurry, this is for you."
He took out a sandalwood box and pushed it in front of Wuxin's eyes.
She took it expectantly and opened it, and there was a red carp waist pendant lying inside.
"Where did you buy it, love it."
The texture of the fish body was lifelike, reminding her of the fat red carp of that day.
"I saw it by accident."
She wouldn't know that this was carved by Dugu Lian little by little.
"Now that you've received the gift and you've been standing for so long, let's go back to your room and rest."
Daddy Baili took her hand and dragged her away.
That kid must have listened to his mother's words and was paying attention, huh! He won't let them get away with it.
"Xiangye, the front yard must be presided over by Xiangye, I'll take the young lady back to the backyard."
Jun Ruxi jumped out of nowhere, with a sincere face.
"It's fine." Jun Ruxi's character is feasible, and he is still quite relieved to hand over people to him.
"I can find the way myself, and I don't need the prince to send it."
She walked in front and walked quickly, the phoenix in her skirt moving with the wind, as if reborn from the fire, alive.
"You look good in a phoenix costume."
"I'm naturally beautiful, and I look good in anything."
"Are you hinting at me by wearing a phoenix?"
He strode in front of her to block her way, his father had already ordered that she must be married back to the palace, so he had only granted the right to make phoenix costumes a month ago.
"What's wrong with wearing a phoenix? I'm hinting at you something, you don't get in my way. ”
What's wrong with her wearing a bird, besides, the colorful winged phoenix on her body is nothing similar to the phoenix of Qian'an Kingdom except for birds, is this also a mistake?
"Aren't you confessing to me?"
Jun Ruxi lowered his head and approached, looking straight into her eyes, he had always been confident in his appearance and charm, although it was a little shameful to betray his hue.
"You're sick."
She slapped her hand on his face and pushed him away.
At this time, the sky is getting late, the willow tips on the moon, Wuxin will be paralyzed in bed as soon as he returns to the room, and he has beaten his calves in early spring and late autumn, and even Wuxin feels tired, he didn't eat breakfast, he didn't eat lunch, he didn't eat dinner, and he stood for a day, and he couldn't stand it if he was an iron person.
"In early spring and late autumn, you have been running with me for a day, go and rest, and let the other maids in the courtyard serve me."
"How can this be! We are young lady's personal maidservants, no matter how tired and hard we are, we can't let others interfere. ”
I didn't want to persuade the two to leave, so I had to follow what they said.
In early spring and late autumn, hot water is brought in, and it is covered with a layer of flower petals
"When did this start preparing the petal bath?"
Unintentionally lazily lying on the chaise longue, rubbing the carp waist in his hand.
"Miss, it was sent by the master, saying that Miss is working hard today, and she must be weak, and she is soaking in a hot petal bath to relieve fatigue."
"That's right, you guys also go to take a bath, and I'll soak alone for a while."
Unintentionally took off his clothes and stepped into the water, the fifteen-year-old body was slightly green, but it was also well developed, the skin was delicate and smooth, white and flawless, and under the background of the petals, the white was translucent and red, and it became more and more pink.
She closed her eyes and enjoyed it, took a deep breath of floral fragrance, a rich but not pungent floral fragrance, petals of all kinds of eye colors, I don't know where Dad got it, I asked Daddy for more to take a bath another day, it was really comfortable.
When he closed his eyes unintentionally, a golden light flashed on his forehead, and a petal stayed for a moment and then disappeared.
She felt her soul nourished.
"Fir."
"Who."
When she opened her eyes, she saw a white cloth like snow standing next to the bathtub, like an immortal.
"Hey! You voyeur! ”
She blushed and hugged her chest and shrunk her body under the petals.
"When I was a child, I still had to take a bath with my master, did I forget?" He smiled, bent down and ruffled her black hair, staring warmly at her bare neck.
"You recognized the wrong person, I'm not the one you know."
She was a little frightened by the staring, and subconsciously began to refuse.
"You just forgot, I'll make you remember everything, I'll restore everything to your original state, whether it's memory, or, physically."
"The taboo here is too strong, I can only maintain a momentary distraction, and I can't see you again for a while, wait for me."
He dropped a kiss on her brow, and it dissipated into smoke in front of Wuxin's eyes.
Unintentionally as if I had a dream, I felt that the person was as unreal as a dream, quietly coming, quietly leaving.
She touched the center of her eyebrows, where there was still his residual warmth, so hot.
On the second day, Daddy Baili called her to the study.
On weekdays, the study is tightly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach.
The wooden door was wide open, and a faint sandalwood came out of the room, and then stepped into the room, rows of bookshelves leaned neatly against the wall, surrounding the entire wall, and the half-open and half-hidden windows cast warm golden sunlight, half scattered on the carved sandalwood bookcase, Baili Master sat behind the bookcase, the whole person was glowing with divine light, approached lightly, and bowed slightly
"I didn't want to see my father."
Master Baili turned around and put the wooden box he had been stroking on the table.
"Wuxin, you're done, and some things should be handed over to you."
"What's that?"
"Your mother left it for you."
"My mother? Didn't you pick me up? ”
Master Baili pushed the black wooden box in front of Wuxin.
"Although you are not Daddy's biological daughter, you were brought up by Daddy, and Daddy is also selfish, but Daddy can't influence your choice."
Wuxin took the wooden box, looking at the expression of life and death parting on his father's face, could she really have some enemies waiting for her to kill her father and mother, what the hell.
She opened the wooden box, a very unique necklace, made of crystal, with a beautiful color like a starry sky.
The pendant is a peach blossom the size of a fingernail, with strange patterns engraved on the petals, sometimes like endless mountains, sometimes like a flying dragon driving through the clouds, sometimes like a phoenix reborn from the fire, each angle will have a different pattern, and with the change of angle, the color of the flower is also constantly changing, sometimes red, sometimes pink, sometimes white.
I have no intention of wearing a necklace around my neck, and I can only feel at ease to carry such a valuable thing with me.
There was a letter under the necklace, which said that my daughter had no intention of opening it, and she took out the envelope and opened it, and looked at the contents carefully.
"Child, I am you, my aunt Su Yingyue, the eldest princess of the Thousand Illusion Kingdom.
You must protect that pendant, it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation by the ancestors of the Thousand Illusion Kingdom, and it is only handed over to the direct bloodline of the Thousand Illusions Royal Family for safekeeping, remember. ”
I didn't want to see this, and guessed that I must have to explain who the enemy who killed my mother was, and then let her take revenge, but I didn't expect it......
"Ahem, that, unintentionally, mother pleases you something, mother owed a lot of romantic debts when she was young, you have a half-brother, his name is Gu Suyan, mother hopes you can find him, he has a butterfly birthmark on his right shoulder......"
After reading the whole letter speechlessly, her mother was really a little off the line, she didn't say a word about the person who killed her, but used three or four pieces of paper to describe her romantic and interesting things, which was really a big carrot.
But she probably also understands that the revenge of killing her mother must be avenged, and she will complete it one by one for the original owner.
"I choose, revenge."
