Chapter 55: The Maiden Wants to Escape 5
The boat went for a day before docking, and when it was already dark when they arrived in Linze City, the two of them rested in an inn, and learned from the shopkeeper Xiao Er that the jade shop had been famous all over the world, and how many people traveled thousands of miles just to buy the jewelry of this store, and the treasure of the town store was the finished product made by Wang Xi's hand-drawn sketch.
Wang Xi didn't expect that he would be made into a treasure of the town store after drawing a few strokes, and he still has the potential to be a designer? ! I can't get along that day, so I can consider becoming a designer.
After dinner, Wang Xi tried his best to ask Mo Ling to accompany him, but when Leader Liu arrived, something stopped Mo Ling, so Wang Xi had to go by himself and find another opportunity to confirm whether the two were alone.
Wang Xi entered from the backyard, the study was lit up, and Bai Qi's figure was reflected in the window, Wang Xi knocked on the door, and only pushed the door in after getting Bai Qi's answer. Bai Qi was very excited when he saw Wang Xi, "Little Liu?!" ”
Bai Qi took Wang Xi's hand and looked it up and down, "Little Liu, where have you been all this year?" I've been looking for you! I thought I'd never come back?! ”
"I~, are you okay?" Wang Xi sniffed the cold fragrance on his body, and was confused again, why are the habits of the two people strikingly similar?
"I'm fine, aren't you leaving?" Bai Qi asked cautiously, his eyes staring at Wang Xi.
"Let's go, I'm just coming back to see you this time, I was not good at the beginning, I shouldn't say goodbye!"
"Where are you going? Isn't it good here? Don't go along? Bai Qi gently hugged Wang Xi in his arms, and the hanging hair fell on Wang Xi's nose, and Wang Xi pushed Bai Qi away violently. Little Six? ”
"Mo Ling, it's really you!"
"Little Liu, what are you talking about?" Bai Qi looked at her blankly.
"Do you still want to put it on? Although you have changed your clothes, you don't have time to shower, you have the smell of mint on your wrists, the smell of seawater in your hair, and the tear moles in the corners of your eyes are not pasted, you are too careless! ”
Bai Qi touched the corners of his eyes, "Hehe, Xiaoliu, you are really good, you came too fast, I thought that you would go to the front gate and let Anan wait for you in the front yard!" I didn't expect you to come in directly over the wall! ”
"Whatever you did, we're even! You go back to your Tanglin Palace, and I will break into my world. There will be no time in the future! Wang Xi turned around and wanted to go out, but Bai Qi's figure moved to block the way.
"I said I wouldn't let you go!"
"Do you think you can stop me now?" Wang Xi raised his little face and looked at Bai Qi firmly.
"I know I can't stop it, but I won't give myself a chance to regret it, you have to leave unless I die!" Since getting along, he has already understood Wang Xi's temperament very well, and seeing Wang Xi's helpless expression, he continued, "Can you just sit down and listen to my explanation?" ”
Wang Xi was pulled to the table by him and sat down, "At that time, I sensed that you were leaving, and I was afraid that you would suffer outside and be bullied, so I arranged all this!" For the sake of me not having bad intentions, forgive me, okay? ”
"Forgive you and let me go!"
"Then you still don't want to forgive me!" Bai Qi sat on the side childishly, and secretly looked at Wang Xi with his spare eyes.
Wang Xi sighed speechlessly, depending on the situation, he really met the male protagonist, and he didn't know who his female protagonist was? Forget it, follow the male protagonist to eat sugar! In fact, I'm really not sure that I can beat him!
"It's okay to let me stay, but you have to tell me your true identity and origin, I don't want to be deceived again!"
Seeing Wang Xi loosen his mouth, Bai Qi excitedly took Wang Xi's hand, and then calmed down and talked about his life experience, "My name is Mo Ling, the seventh in line, the seventh prince of Tanglin!" The mother concubine was the most favored concubine of the father, and the queen's mother's family and the courtiers framed me, my grandfather's family and rebelled! No one in the clan was spared! The mother killed herself by setting fire to her bedroom! ”
Mo Ling said, as if he saw the sky-high fire again, there was a six-year-old boy crying helplessly to his mother, the burned beams fell aside, the unsupported roof continued to collapse, the porcelain shards that could not stand the high temperature exploded again and again, the fire along the floor little by little like him, a piece of burning wood scratched his cheek, leaving a striking scar, the boy choked on the thick and pungent smoke could not breathe and fainted to the ground.
Mo Ling fell into memories, his whole body was tense, there was horror and anger in his eyes, telling others was just a sad story, saying a few sad words, and wiping a few tears, but it was an indelible pain for him, and hatred tortured him all the time!
Wang Xi held his hand and summoned him back to reality, Mo Ling smiled comfortingly, "After that, I became very strange and was sent to the Beishan Hot Spring Palace, where I met my master, he taught me martial arts, and then I began to plan everything little by little. On the day I met you, I found out that the death of my grandfather's family was arranged by my father, the queen was just a chess piece, and the death of my mother was also the result of his connivance. My last relatives have become my enemies! So when I saw that you still had eyes full of hope and freedom in the cage, I couldn't help but want to detain you! ”
Mo Ling was really so gentle when he talked about Wang Xi, "But you disturbed my heart, I want to see your smile more and more, my life is no longer full of darkness, and there is hope, that is, you, whether it is the king of the world, or the rivers and lakes of the horses, or the mountains and villages, I want to be with you!" Little Liu, don't leave me, I will definitely become a demon without you! I'll drag you to hell with me! ”
Mo Ling hugged Wang Xi's smaller body tightly, Wang Xi obviously felt his nervousness and fear, 'Is he pretending to be pitiful?' Threat? Well, you succeeded, who made yourself soft-hearted?! Stay for now! Anyway, sooner or later, I'm going to meet the heroine.,And,With his ability, he'll be found wherever he's hiding.,Can't you keep running away?! When the heroine comes on the field, she will be completely liberated! '
In order to keep Wang Xi by his side strongly, Mo Ling began to practice martial arts hard, and he couldn't let Wang Xi surpass him no matter what. Although Wang Xi has made rapid progress, Mo Ling has 10 years of accumulation more than her, and in a short period of time, Wang Xi is really not an opponent.
Tanglin Palace, Wang Xi pretended to be Mo Ling's attendant and followed behind, and the palace people who passed by began to salute from a distance, with a frightened look on their faces, Wang Xi was very puzzled, and suddenly a pink figure ran out of the fork and bumped into Mo Ling's body, and the palace people behind knelt down in horror and kowtowed and begged for mercy. The little girl also timidly lowered her head and shrunk her existence.
Wang Xi felt that the temperature around him plummeted, and Mo Ling frowned unhappily, "Anan! ”
"Yes, Lord Wang!" Anan pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, and the action of drawing the knife was stopped by Wang Xi. Wang Xi never thought that Mo Ling would be so cold, so he stepped forward and pulled his sleeve.
"It's just a child's carelessness, forget it!" Mo Ling looked at Wang Xi, his face was a little pale, and he walked past everyone. Wang Xi rubbed the little girl's hair, "Don't run so fast in the future!" ”
Wang Xi caught up with Mo Ling in a few steps, the little girl's big eyes stared at Wang Xi's distant back, and her puffy little face was flushed.
Later, Wang Xi learned that for the prince who had ruined his appearance, he had lost the right to inherit, not to mention that there was no help, or because of guilt, the emperor named him the king side by side early, and also promised him a lot of privileges, and he was also very conniving with his behavior, so that no one in the entire Tanglin Kingdom dared to provoke him, and even talked about color change.
This time, the emperor put on a birthday banquet, and the purpose was also to choose a concubine for Mo Ling, so all daughters in the family, regardless of their concubines, were called into the palace to participate in the birthday banquet. Wang Xi stood behind Mo Ling, carefully observing the women attending the banquet, looking forward to the appearance of the heroine.
The emperor and the empress, and the concubines came to the main hall, everyone saluted and celebrated their birthday, and Mo Ling just stood and did not salute, the emperor waved his hand to let everyone get up and take their seats, and toasted together to wish the emperor "long life without borders", and then it was a congratulatory gift. There are fine blood corals, delicate jade ornaments, porcelain, calligraphy and painting of celebrities, as well as precious medicinal materials, etc., and the rare treasures are all brilliant.
"Seventh brother, everyone has presented congratulatory gifts, I don't know what good things you have prepared for your father, and you still hide them and refuse to take them out!" The man who spoke was dressed in a python robe, and there was a hint of evil spirit between his eyebrows, it should be the prince Mo Qing.
"Yes, seventh brother, take it out and let us open our eyes!" The man sitting under the prince's hand, in a purple and blue brocade robe, has a soft face, I don't know which prince it is.
"What are you fooling about?! I'm already very happy to be here! The emperor feigned anger and looked at Mo Ling affectionately.
Everyone also looked at this side, Mo Ling was still sipping the wine with a calm expression, and suddenly the lights were all extinguished, and the bright light in the center of the hall stinged everyone's eyes and illuminated the entire hall, and Wang Xi, who had seen a lot of rare treasures, couldn't help but be surprised, that night pearl was as big as an adult man's fist, and it would be difficult to find a second one in this world.
The lights in the hall were lit again, the emperor was happy, everyone was still talking and admiring, Wang Xi noticed two hot and strange eyes looking at him, which made Wang Xi feel hairy on his back, and looked for the prince and the man in the purple and blue brocade robe.
"Lao Qi is really the most hearted, this time I want to stay in the palace for a few more days, your father is very worried about you!" The queen sitting on the upper seat praised Mo Ling cordially, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"yes, I haven't seen you in a long time!" The emperor's face was full of kindness and a hint of pleading.
"The retainers obey!" Perhaps he didn't expect Mo Ling to agree so happily, and after being stunned for a moment, the emperor said yes again and again, and raised a glass with everyone, expressing his excitement. In fact, he promised Wang Xi to take her to the palace for a good meal.
But now, Wang Xi on the side has cursed him countless times in his heart, whether he can see it or not, for foodies, it is torture.
Singing and dancing to cheer up, pushing cups and changing lamps, all the daughters also showed their strengths, the scene was happy, and Wang Xi observed fruitlessly, regretting that he didn't understand the situation of the Tanglin nobles in advance, and now he can only watch them eat and drink, and his stomach has long protested!
