Chapter 11 The Past Is Like Smoke

Ling Zixuan and Hua Mantian were waiting for Hua Yingrong on the third floor, let people serve exquisite pastries and wine, and invited Rong'er to play the pipa to help the fun.

Ling Zixuan was in a good mood because he wanted to see the beautiful woman, so he kept pouring himself drinks, but Hua Mantian looked melancholy and was stunned.

"Let's have a pastry." Ling Zixuan sandwiched a piece of osmanthus cake in his bowl, he only rolled his eyes, staring at Rong'er in a daze before, and now staring at the osmanthus cake in the bowl in a daze.

He felt more and more that Hua Mantian was very strange today, and the source of the strangeness was that he said that Hao Tianlin wanted to marry a wife, could he be reluctant to give up Hao Tianlin? Come to think of it, he has always been uninterested in women, and he doesn't look at beautiful women when he meets them, but he always praises Hao Tianlin. Does he really have a brokeback complex?

"It's all over the sky, why are you sullen?" He asked tentatively, "Hao Zhan is about to get married, are you reluctant to be a friend?" ”

Hua Mantian was silent and shook his head.

Ling Zixuan was surprised, he really guessed correctly, Hao Zhan, Hao Zhan, even the man was attracted to you, you really have a look like a bee and a butterfly! Fortunately, I have enough concentration, otherwise...... He thought, gasping.

"This king is not partial, and he will find a better girl for you." Ling Zixuan said.

Hua Mantian shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips.

Ling Zixuan's interest was only depressed, and when he saw Hua Yingrong coming, he immediately regained his happy mood.

Hua Yingrong came with a maid, and the doorkeeper opened the door for them, and she also dressed up carefully today, completely attracting Ling Zixuan's attention from the moment she entered the door, so that Ling Zixuan didn't even know that the wine in her hand had poured wet the brocade tablecloth on the table.

Hua Yingrong covered her mouth and smiled, stepped forward to salute, and said softly: "Yingrong greets the prince!" "I looked dazzled again," brother. ”

Ling Zixuan reacted at this time, and said with a smile: "Come on, take a seat, take a seat!" Yingrong, do you know if your brother has a favorite woman? ”

Hua Yingrong sat next to Ling Zixuan, poured him wine with a smile, glanced at Hua Mantian, and said, "My brother has been away from home for many years, and Yingrong really doesn't know." ”

Hua Mantian got up and said goodbye, "Lord Wang, since Yingrong is here, my subordinates will go down first!" ”

"Well, go ahead!" Ling Zixuan agreed.

Ling Zixuan only felt that he was full of current affairs, leaving him and Yingrong behind...... Thinking so, he looked at the maid standing beside Hua Yingrong.

The maid Ah Xiu was also interested, lowered her head and laughed in a low voice: "Ah Xiu went to the door to guard." ”

Hua Yingrong nodded and poured another glass of wine for Ling Zixuan.

"Why is it only me drinking?" He personally poured wine for Hua Yingrong and handed it to her lips as red as petals.

Hua Yingrong stretched out her hand to take the wine glass, but she didn't expect Ling Zixuan to hold the wine glass steady and look at her with a wicked smile.

She opened her mouth slightly, took a sip of wine, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, and said, "Let the prince smile, Yingrong won't drink." ”

"Oh? Since then, I've only had tea with you. Ling Zixuan said gently, how could he bear her being choked by wine and coughing and burning her intestines!

After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered someone to replace all the drinks with Pu'er tea, which Hua Yingrong liked.

Ling Zixuan was so intimate, Hua Yingrong smiled sweetly, her eyes were dark, and the autumn waves were flowing......

Hua Mantian knew that Hao Tianlin was probably working in the government office at this time, so he went to the government office, and as soon as he arrived at the garden, he was stopped by Hao Tianlin, who happened to be passing by with a public slip in his hand: "Hua Mantian, what are you doing here?" ”

Hua Mantian's heart trembled when he heard his voice, and he turned around slowly, looking at Hao Tianlin, who walked in front of him and was only an arm's length away from him, his tall and strong body completely blocked Hua Mantian's sight, Hua Mantian frowned, looking at his handsome face with a grin.

Hao Tianlin saw that his eyes were red, restrained his smile, and asked, "Hua Mantian, why are your eyes as red as rabbits, what happened?" ”

Hua Mantian felt that tears were about to flow out, so he turned around, his vision was immediately blurred by tears, he tried to restrain his choked voice, and said, "I...... I'm fine. ”

Hao Tianlin wanted to walk in front of him, but he turned back and said helplessly: "Short boy, what's wrong?" ”

When Hua Mantian heard him call himself like this again, he said angrily: "I'm not short!" ”

Hao Tianlin laughed, and wanted to walk in front of Hua Mantian and measure his height with him, but Hua Mantian always dodged him, so he had to gesture to his chest and said, "Why aren't you short, look, you only grow to my chest!" ”

Hua Mantian turned around and said, "That's because you're too tall!" ”

Hao Tianlin is eight feet long, heroic and heroic, with a face like a crown of jade, he is indeed more outstanding than many men and even Ling Zixuan, and he is the first beautiful man in the country.

Hao Tianlin saw that he had become a tearful man, and immediately restrained the smile on his face and said, "You...... If you don't like me to say that, I won't say it in the future, but don't cry......"

Hua Mantian looked at him like a pond, and his reluctance was even more intense, no matter whether he succeeded or failed, he had to show him his admiration.

He bit his lip and ripped off his headband, and a black and soft green silk floated out like a cloud.

Hao Tianlin was immediately stunned and looked at her in disbelief.

"I ...... I'm a woman through and through! Hua Mantian stared at him in shock, slowly approached, and before he could react, she threw herself into his chest, her ears were close to his chest, and she only listened to the sound of his heart beating, which was the scene she had always dreamed of, "I am very satisfied with my height." ”

"...... you" Hao Tianlin finally reacted, his face was incredulous, the man he had known for four years was actually a woman in disguise, and he was such a beauty, he didn't even notice it at all? However, he was now married after all, and thinking so, he pushed her away.

Hua Mantian suddenly felt that his push was so hard and ruthless, and the dream was immediately shattered, she stood firm, suddenly her eyes were like water, and her voice was soft: "Why do I want to stay with the prince for four years?" For whom? But now you're going to marry someone else! ”

Hao Tianlin was at a loss: "I...... I never knew that you were a daughter, and Xia Chun and I already had the reality of husband and wife! ”

Hearing this, Hua Mantian suddenly felt heartache, and tears fell in strings, but she still had hope, and choked up: "I can be your concubine." ”

Hao Tianlin didn't think she would be like this, seeing her crying like pear blossoms with her hair scattered, he felt uncomfortable, but he was helpless, and said, "You are a good woman, you will meet a better man." ”

Hua Mantian was deflated, and said coldly with a smile: "After all, we still have no fate!" As she spoke, she took out a small white porcelain medicine bottle from her arms and threw it on the ground, the medicine bottle was suddenly shattered, and the white powder inside was scattered all over the ground.

Hao Tianlin only glanced at the medicine bottle, opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, Hua Mantian ran outside, passed by him, he turned his head to look at her back, walked a few steps and wanted to chase, but after thinking about it, he was going to get married, for a woman who loves him, it is better not to chase, what can he do? It's better to be ruthless, neat, and less painful.

Hua Mantian did not return to Yongwang's Mansion, in the future, she will not go back, she ran faster and faster, like a gust of wind, so fast that people could not see, finally, she flew up, and soon came to Muyongcheng Lizhou Flower House, Lord Hua and Mrs. Hua were there, they saw that their daughter still had tears on her face, so they asked the reason.

Hua Mantian lay on the stool handle in the guest hall, just crying, not making a sound.

Mrs. Hua said: "I think, I must have been bullied by Ling Xi's stinky man, I said that everyone is cheap, but fortunately, the queen is wise and sent ......."

Master Hua glanced at Mrs. Hua and motioned to Mrs. Hua not to say more, and Mrs. Hua immediately shut up.

Hua Mantian didn't care that they looked at each other, still sad and tearful, Mrs. Hua saw that her daughter would not get better for a while, so she said: "Mantian, my mother will get you something to eat, you can rest first." ”

Hua Mantian's face was full of tears, she didn't expect Hao Tianlin to be so ruthless, he didn't chase her when she left sadly, as a friend, in case she would do something stupid, she should also chase her, right? But he didn't! The medicine bottle that she had treasured for four years and never left her was broken, but looking at his expression, he probably didn't remember this medicine bottle anymore, and she still cherished it so much, it was ironic! But when you think about it, who would remember that ordinary medicine bottle, and who would have thought that the animal you saved would turn into a person to find you.

Thinking of the vial, she thought about the past again, the first time they had met.

In fact, she is a white dog, a little white dog with soft and beautiful hair.

Four years ago, she and her sister Hua Yingrong were playing in a wood, chasing each other and having fun.

I didn't want to be attacked by a Taoist priest, because it was a sneak attack, and the mana was quite profound, they were seriously injured and couldn't turn back into human form.

They retreated in a hurry, Hua Yingrong escaped, fled into a dense pile of long grass to escape, the following Hua Mantian was seen by a few hunters, the abdomen was obliquely an arrow, in order not to affect her sister, she did not flee into the long grass, those hunters chased after her, she finally rolled down a very long steep slope, overgrown with weeds below, although the road was difficult to walk, but those people still did not give up, still down the steep slope, found her, only to see that she had fainted, put her directly into the sack.

Those people sold her and other prey she caught together with them to the vegetable and meat market, and it just so happened that she was bought back by a few minions who came out of the Yongwang Mansion to buy vegetables, because the cook was preparing to stew dog meat to entertain the prince's guests today, and those minions wanted to be greedy for more money, and this dying puppy was half sold and half given by the dog dealer.

Hua Mantian was transported to the hut along with several other live dogs, where they awaited slaughter. At this time, Hua Mantian woke up, because she was already dying, not tied, she relied on willpower to crawl to escape from here, she thought that her father and mother would soon come to save her.

She crawled into a huge garden, and unfortunately, was found by a girl, who was afraid of dogs, and even more afraid when she saw the blood, so she shouted: "Ah! The vegetable dog that the prince entertained the guests is gone! Come and catch it! ”

As soon as the voice fell, two men came up to grab her, and she struggled with all her might, when one man stopped them: "Let it go!" ”

The servants all looked at the man, and one of the servants looked embarrassed and said, "But ...... This is a vegetable dog that the prince wants to entertain guests. ”

The man walked up to the puppy, checked the puppy's bloody wounds, picked her up, and said, "It's so thin and small, it doesn't have a few mouthfuls of meat, since I see it, I must save it, and I will explain it to the prince myself!" ”

So saying, he hugged the dog and walked to his room.

The person who saved her was Hao Tianlin.

He spread several layers of soft cloth on the floor of the wing, put the dog on it, cleaned up the blood for her, and used the bottle of medicine powder to apply medicine to her, and said gently: "I used to be injured in war, and I used this medicine. ”

Hao Tianlin was as loving as a father who coaxed his children, and Hua Mantian looked at his gentle expression and slept peacefully.

A month later, Hua Mantian was able to jump around in Hao Tianlin's garden, at that time Hao Tianlin found a juju for her to play, she liked it very much, often lying under the big tree to enjoy the shade when she was tired of playing, looking at Hao Tianlin, who was also lying in the tree for the afternoon, she thought, I really want to talk to him. That night, she took the bottle of medicine that smelled of him and left.

Later, she turned into a wandering boy, and deliberately saved a robbed woman in front of Ling Zixuan, showed her good skills, and asked for a good position on the side of the prince, and after that, with her outstanding performance, she and Hao Tianlin became the right-hand man of the prince.

Hua Mantian withdrew her thoughts, wiped away her tears, she wanted to go back to the boudoir to sleep with him for three days and three nights, and then ...... Then turn into a puppy and come back to him so that they can be together again.

Thinking like this, she had hope and her mood eased a little.

In the days that followed, she and her fairy sisters gathered and played, chatting and talking, and their sorrows subsided considerably.

At noon that day, she came home tired of playing, and suddenly felt hungry, so she wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but when she passed by the backyard wing, she heard a noise inside, and the outside was also wrapped around the soul lock enchantment, so she listened close to the door.

It was his mother who spoke: "You are a good fate!" If it weren't for my daughter not letting me eat you, would you still be so happy here and have such good offerings to eat? Still want to escape? Hmph, it's just overwhelming! ”

The other was the woman's weak and nice voice: "I will not run away again, don't worry!" ”

"Hmph, better so!" Mrs. Hua snorted coldly, suddenly heard movement outside the door, and hurriedly chased out to take a look, and found that it was Hua Mantian who was eavesdropping outside the door, and her face instantly eased, "Mantian, what are you doing here?" ”

Hua Mantian looked into the chamber, there was a woman's soul locked in it, because of the soul locking enchantment, it was difficult for the woman to escape, and the result of her struggle to escape was to get injured all over her body. Hua Mantian looked at this woman, as if he had seen it somewhere, thought about it, and remembered that it was Qiao Zimei who the prince had ordered him to investigate, and Hao Tianlin had also saved her.

Hua Mantian didn't answer and asked: "Mother, who is that female ghost, why are you locked up here?" ”

Mrs. Hua said: "Put it to eat!" ”

"Coincidentally, I'm hungry, so give her to me!" Hua Mantian smiled and was about to go in and arrest her.

"No way!" Mrs. Hua raised her voice and said, grabbed Hua Mantian, saw Hua Mantian with a surprised face, and said gently, "I mean you don't like to eat souls, don't tease your mother, go back to the room to rest, I'll cook your favorite carrot shredded egg noodles for you, go quickly!" With that, Madame Hua closed the door.

Hua Mantian pretended to leave, turned his head and saw that his mother was gone, pinched a spell to erase the enchantment, opened the door, Qiao Zimei sat on the bed, heard the sound, raised the head buried in his knees, and saw that it was Hua Mantian, so he sneered: "Want to eat me again?" ”

Hua Mantian closed the door and asked, "What are they doing behind closed doors?" ”

Mrs. Hua's words dodged, and Hua Mantian could see that this matter was not so simple.

Qiao Zimei didn't look over, and said sullenly: "I've said everything I want to say, what else do you want to ask?" ”

Hua Mantian said: "What do they want you to say?" ”

Qiao Zimei said: "I don't know anything! I just met with the prince, don't ask again! ”

Hua Mantian smiled and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood!" The one who grabbed you is my twin sister Hua Yingrong, my name is Hua Mantian, and I used to be a guard next to the prince. ”

Qiao Zimei looked at her seriously, although the person who captured her looked exactly the same as the person who claimed to be the guard next to the prince, but the woman's demeanor and words were extremely gentle, and the unpretentious attitude in front of her was obviously much more casual.

"Guards? But you're a woman! Qiao Zimei still had doubts.

Hua Mantian said: "I saw you when I was by the prince's side, but when I saw that you had no malicious intent, I ignored it, I can save you out, but you have to tell me the reason for being imprisoned!" ”

Qiao Zimei thought about it, believed her, and told the reason for the matter.
