Chapter Ninety-Seven: Doomed
When Gong Yan started, Fu Yunqing went in with a rabbit lantern. Here his father introduced him to Xiao Junluo, who was one year older than him, and he looked very cool. However, he has the qualifications to be cool, because he is only twelve years old, and he has already accompanied his father to kill enemies on the battlefield. You can see heroism and justice in him, but you can't see the squeamishness in children of the same age. At a young age, he has the momentum of a soldier. People can't help but be in awe.
At the beginning of the banquet, he met the eighth princess, the girl who fell in love with him at first sight. I also met the legendary Nine Princesses, and her mother, Concubine Ling. He finally understood why the emperor named her a spiritual concubine, because that aura was like a heavenly maiden descending to earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that her beauty is captivating the country and the city. But she is not beautiful, like the snow lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, the ice is clear and jade, elegant and noble. Her appearance is as if everything in the hall has lost its brilliance, and the beauty is touching.
The little girl who followed her was as cute as the rabbit lantern in his hand, especially the beautiful big eyes, which were very much like her mother, but they were more agile than her mother. It's as if her eyes are a fascinating picture, beautiful and intoxicating.
He didn't notice that at this moment, the other teenager was also looking at her with the same admiration and amazement, and the eyes of the two were still inadvertently bumping.
After the monarch and ministers' ceremony, the palace banquet began. The music of the Silk and Bamboo Palace played, and the dancing queen danced like a fairy. The staggered and laughter continued.
During this time, his eyes have been focused on the small pink figure, and she has been by her parents' side. The emperor doted on him and personally prepared vegetables for her, and the emperor would reward her with whatever she liked. However, she is not pampered, and she always has a sunny and warm smile on her face. Such a girl makes people involuntarily like, and I'm afraid no one can resist her innocent and beautiful smile.
During the banquet, the emperor suddenly proposed, "I heard that the prime minister's son is known as a little prodigy, and my ninth princess is also a little prodigy, why don't you let the two children play against each other?" ”
The prime minister stood up in fear, "The ninth princess is talented and intelligent, and the dog is just a vain name, how dare she compete with the princess." ”
The old emperor hugged his beloved Ninth Princess with one hand, with a gentle smile on his face, "It's okay, it's just a good time, don't be so nervous, otherwise the children will not have fun." Then he looked at the well-behaved little man in his arms and asked, "Zi'er, would you like to have a discussion with Brother Yunqing." ”
The name of the ninth princess is Baili Zihuang, because she was born with a purple phoenix feather birthmark on her shoulder, from which the name comes from.
She looked at the handsome young man next to the prime minister and grinned, but this grin was not very good, because the two front teeth were missing.
"Wow, father, this brother is so beautiful."
The smart big eyes met him unexpectedly, and her sweet and gentle smile made Fu Yunqing's young feelings flutter.
"Then would you like to play with your pretty brother?" The emperor lovingly touched her black hair.
The Ninth Princess nodded happily, "I do." ”
The first thing they tried was Wencai, with Fu Yunqing out of the upper link, and the ninth princess out of the lower link. The Ninth Princess was a few years younger than him, so he didn't dare to make it too difficult, but he didn't expect her to come out all right.
The second round is a chess game, and a small chessboard determines the situation. Many children of their age are still eating, drinking and having fun, and they have already played a game. In this chess game, even the scholars of Wenge University sighed and praised these two people
Gifted and intelligent, the reincarnation of a golden boy and a jade girl.
The old emperor was overjoyed and gave a reward to both children. Encourage them to work harder in the future and become the pillars of Tiansheng Kingdom in the future.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a **-year-old girl suddenly stood up. She is dressed in palace clothes, graceful and luxurious. Danfeng's eyes were slightly raised, with a bit of a queen's appearance.
"Father, I like Brother Yunqing, please give him to Feng'er as a colt, right?"
Her words instantly changed the fate of many people. It was also from that moment that Fu Yunqing decided to rein in his edge and was willing to be an ordinary man.
The emperor was slightly stunned, and in this stunned moment, he thought too much in his mind. As the Son of Heaven, what he thinks about is not only the right match, but also the balance of the court.
Looking at the eighth princess and Fu Yunqing again, he thought about it and smiled: "My eighth princess is really discerning?" Well, I will promise to give you marriage. ”
Baili Tianfeng was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him, but he didn't notice the person behind him, and his face turned white in an instant.
Then the emperor looked at the ninth princess who was the most beloved around him, and then at the outstanding Xiao Junluo, and smiled, "The so-called good things come in pairs, today is a good day." The eighth princess is married to Fu Yunqing, I think the ninth princess and General Xiao Xiao are also quite a good match, Concubine Ling, what do you think? ”
When he married the eighth princess, the emperor didn't even look at the queen who was closest to him. However, to marry the ninth princess, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the spirit concubine. It is obvious to all to see which is more important than the other.
Concubine Ling stepped forward and pulled the ninth princess to give a salute to the saint, and her voice was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, "Everything depends on the emperor." ”
"Okay, okay, then it's decided."
The emperor happily went down to help Concubine Ling up, and pampered their mother and daughter to sit beside him.
The harmony below continues, what a god-given good fate, a hundred years of good together. But Fu Yunqing couldn't hear anything, his eyes looked straight at the small person in the seat, and her smile jumped over him and stopped at another teenager. Although the young man was awe-inspiring, his expression was cold and hard. But I can still see a happy smile in his good-looking phoenix eyes.
However, such a smile deeply stabbed his eyes. What is the intention of flower arrangement, unintentional willow planting. He originally just wanted to arouse her favor, but he didn't expect that if he was as smart as him, he would still be unable to escape the arrangement of fate.
No wonder Xiao Junluo defended her so much, it was also after discovering her birthmark, right? He was still a step too late, or maybe it was fate.
I still remember the time they met five years ago, her appearance and clothing changed so much that he couldn't compare her to that little man carved in pink. But she made a deep impression on herself. If it was because of her intelligence and agility ten years ago, then five years later it was her kindness and tenacity that struck her. Seeing her again now, it has changed a lot compared to five years ago. She is like a phoenix in flames, transforming little by little, growing little by little.
Now he finally understands why she can play the phoenix tail and attract butterflies, it is not a coincidence, it is instinct.
But why doesn't she remember the past? What really happened ten years ago?
That palace change was the year of her mother's death, and he took his mother's ashes to Qingliang Temple for placement. And there he led the practice and transcended it for his mother. He heard that when he returned, it was too late. I heard that the Linghua Hall was burned to a pile of ruins, and there was not a single person left alive in the entire palace.
In fact, no one knows, in Qingliang Temple, next to his mother's tablet,
There is also an anonymous tablet, which he personally carved for the Ninth Princess.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Actually, what's wrong with her? She was just a six-year-old. It's just because she has too much aura on her, and it's only because she gets too much pampering that she causes the jealousy of others.
Feeling the aura again is not necessarily happiness, it may be disaster, so he converged all the light, and since then he has practiced medicine and wandered around.
Xiao Junluo stayed by Xia Xiaoxuan's side until she woke up.
Because I was blindfolded, I still couldn't see anything. Reached out and touched it. Wrapped in a pair of warm big hands, my heart suddenly felt steady.
"Where is this?"
"This is the palace, we are going home." He reached out to help her brush her hair that was messy because of her indecent sleeping position.
A sentence of going home makes people warm and down-to-earth. She is now less and less reluctant to reject the word 'home' and is becoming more and more accustomed to the environment here.
However, she felt that Xiao Junluo was a little strange today, and she was not happy because she woke up, but the atmosphere was a little gloomy.
"Xiao Junluo, what's wrong with you? Am I blind from now on? She couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she could think of this possibility.
"No, Yun Gongzi said that your eyes are just delayed for too long, and the treatment may take a little longer, but you won't be blind, you can rest assured." Comfortingly rubbed the top of her hair! Looking at her dazed and helpless appearance, I felt even more guilty in my heart.
Xia Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, she has been blind for so long, and she is slowly getting used to it, it doesn't matter if she waits a few more days, as long as it is not curable.
"Then why do you look preoccupied?" He is usually cold, evil, or arrogant, but he is rarely so low, which is so unlike him, she is a little unaccustomed.
"The real culprit of the Qingfeng Mountain arson case has been found."
"Really? Is it the regent? Did you correct him? Xia Xiaoxuan almost jumped up with excitement when she heard the news. How could she not be agitated that the poor victims were burned alive like that. If they can't take revenge, how can they be at peace under the nine springs.
Xiao Junluo's voice was more depressed, and he gently hugged her into his arms, as if his heart was not so empty. "It's not that easy, the regent has big roots and deep roots, and it's impossible to eradicate him because of one thing. But I pulled out one of his minions, and it was a small punishment for him. ”
Afraid of being in his arms, Xia Xiaoxuan couldn't help but sigh. She is not an unreasonable person, the regent has been in charge of the government for so many years, how can it be easy to be overthrown, it is that she thinks too simply.
"Now that he's defensive, will he do something more extreme?"
Gently brushing her back, a gentle voice sounded in her ears, "We are here to make him jump off the wall and show his flaws." After all, he has been dormant for so many years, and there will always be a day to make a move. Rather than wait for him to be ripe, it is better to force him to do it early. ”
Nodding, she was convinced that he had made the right decision.
"Xuan'er, I'm going to leave for Shandong soon. The most reassuring thing is you, I will send you to Yun Gongzi before leaving. First, it is convenient for him to treat you, and secondly, it is safer to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am more relieved. In addition to these, he will also leave her a few secret guards to protect her at any time, because this incident happened, he no longer dares to be careless.
Xia Xiaoxuan originally wanted to pat her chest and say that she could take care of herself and didn't need to worry about her. But when he heard him say that he would send her to Yun Gongzi, he was not only surprised.
