Chapter 147: Love Without Love
After Hu Xianxian heard the situation in Qingqiu Kingdom, he felt a little uncomfortable. But it was only a little uncomfortable, after all, it was Lie Yufeng's private matter.
The days of running around made her very tired, and there was no disaster in Qingqiu Country, so she closed the door and fell asleep.
When she woke up, as soon as she opened the door, she saw two little maids waiting at the door with toiletries.
After Hu Xianxian finished washing, a little maid came to help her make up, and another little maid went to serve breakfast.
Hu Xianxian looked at himself in the mirror, his bows lowered, and his eyebrows were picturesque.
She smiled at the little maid and said, "You Qingqiu people are so skillful, everyone is so good at grooming. I wear it in a bun on weekdays, as long as my hair doesn't fall apart and cover my eyes. ”
The little maid was a little embarrassed to be praised, "How can I be a coincidence?" Miss Hong'er's hands are skillful, and she combs the lord's hair every day. ”
"Miss Hong'er is indeed good, if I am the lord of the country, I will marry her as a queen."
The little maid was surprised and said, "How can Miss Hu think so? Miss Hong'er is not suitable for the lord of the country. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't want to take care of other people's private affairs, but when the little maid said this, the uncomfortable feeling in her heart suddenly turned into anger, "Why is it inappropriate?" Just because Hong'er is just a maid and doesn't have a local fairy father? ”
The little maid took a few steps back aggrievedly, and said seriously: "It's not because Miss Hong'er is a maid, it's because she is neither a human nor a fox." Our Qingqiu country does not have such a strict hierarchy as you in the world, and Miss Cui'er is a maid like a maid, but she can also be named a virtuous concubine. ”
Hu Xianxian's anger subsided, but his heart was uncomfortable with nowhere to go, like a heavy punch but smashed on a cotton bale.
The little maid is still explaining that the iron law of intermarriage in Qingqiu is that people in the country can only intermarry with humans or fox clans. Because the people in Qingqiu Country are the descendants of the hybrid of humans and foxes, they can no longer be mixed with the bloodlines of other races.
Hong'er is a kapok flower essence, no matter how beautiful a woman she is, how much affection she has for the lord of the country, she can't be combined with the lord of the country.
The lord of the country has been unwilling to marry a wife for her, and recently the regent spread rumors that the lord of the country has the good of Longyang, and he can't be a royal girl, so he has not set up a concubine.
For the sake of the overall situation, the lord of the country can only propose to the immortal of the barbarian mountain. The mother of the Manshan Immortal is a citizen of Qingqiu Country, and his father is a Scattered Immortal in the Sea, and their family has a deep relationship with Qingqiu Country, and they are all towards the lord of the country.
It's just that the daughter of the mountain fairy has a little shortcoming, and it is said that her appearance is very ugly.
When Hu Xianxian heard this, he felt a little happier in his heart, "Who let Lie Yufeng want to use the power of other people's grandparents and fathers, no matter how ugly he is, he has to endure it." ”
The little maid said: "Our lord doesn't care about her appearance, but the fairy of the mountain feels that he can't go, so let the lord choose another beautiful woman as a concubine." ”
"Lie Yufeng chose Cui'er?"
The lord of the kingdom refused to choose, and he said that since he married Miss Shang, he should treat her well. But the Shang girl insisted on letting the lord of the country choose a concubine, and the Hong'er girl said that the Cui Er girl was good, and she fulfilled the name of the Shang girl's virtue......"
The little maid stopped talking and talking, because she saw Hu Xianxian glaring at her, like a crazy bull. The little maid didn't understand which of her words was wrong, which made her angry like this.
At this moment, another little maid brought breakfast, Hu Xianxian overturned the breakfast, and roared: "Call me for that nest of Lie Yufeng!" ”
The two little maids rushed out, and Hu Xianxian grabbed another one with one hand, so that they didn't have to call someone, and took themselves directly to see Lie Yufeng.
Hu Xianxian was stopped outside the main hall, and the guards said that the lord of the country was doing important business and asked her to wait outside the hall.
Where can Hu Xianxian wait? It didn't take long for her to shout at the palace: "Lie Yufeng, you listen to me, if you don't give me a reason to convince me, I will leave immediately, and I don't care what will happen to Qingqiu Country in the future." ”
After a while, someone came out of the temple, and it was Hong'er.
Hong'er chuckled and said, "Miss Hu, why are you so angry? Is it our poor hospitality? ”
Seeing Hong'er's sweet and gentle smile, most of the anger in Hu Xianxian's heart disappeared. She replied, "You treat me well, and I am sorry for you." ”
Hong'er took Hu Xianxian's hand and chuckled: "Miss Hu, let's go to the garden over there to chat, this hall is not a place to talk about household chores." ”
The two sat down in a small pavilion in the garden, and Hu Xianxian said eagerly: "Hong'er, you are really calm." You say, isn't that the earth fairy forcing Yufeng to marry his ugly daughter? As long as you are willing to resist, what is an earth immortal? ”
Hong'er restrained the smile on her face and said seriously: "Miss Hu, how do you care about the beauty and ugliness of your appearance like a layman?" Besides, Miss Shang was not ugly in the first place, she was disfigured by taking the pill by mistake and causing poisoning. She is smart and virtuous, and she is suitable for me to be the mother of the country. ”
"You...... You...... You're talking about duplicity, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let Lie Yufeng seal your good sister Cui'er as a concubine. ”
"I didn't want Cui'er to share the queen's grace and divide the relationship between the two of them, but because Cui'er herself has always loved the lord."
Hu Xianxian felt that his head was swollen and his tongue was getting bigger, "You...... You...... Do you want to fulfill Cui'er? Are you interested in ...... Column Royal Wind ...... Not at all, ...... All...... Don't complain about ......."
Hong'er chuckled, "If you want to complain, you can only blame me for meeting him, but I'm also glad that I met him." ”
Hu Xianxian tilted his head and looked at Hong'er carefully. Hong'er is dressed in a bright red dress, but she doesn't look gaudy and coquettish like mortals in red clothes in the world, she looks noble and atmospheric.
Hu Xianxian's eyes were in a trance and he saw Hong'er's body, which was a tree that was as red as fire. Everyone who came and went under the tree fell for this flower, but this flower bloomed and fell coldly, and no one was moved.
Until one winter, he came under a tree. His long inky hair fluttered in the cold wind, and the strands of hair brushed her branches, and she felt itchy in her heart.
The itchy sensation did not make her feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, she felt happy. She didn't know if the joy came from his handsome countenance, or if it was really just because his hair was tickling her.
He asked her if she was cold, then pulled out a jug of wine and dripped a few drops on her roots.
He said that wine could ward off the cold, and that he would come back to see her in the following spring.
The following spring, her flowers bloomed even more vigorously, and there was a hint of wine in the flowers.
He finally came, and when she saw him, she bloomed the most beautiful flower of her life.
Unfortunately, her overgrown flowers depleted her of nutrients, and she gradually withered and was about to wither.
He transplanted her to Qingqiu Country and watered her carefully. He also said that he wanted to see her beautiful forever, rather than burning her life to gain a moment of beauty.
She has finally come back to life, and he is going to learn the Tao from afar. He was afraid that she would be lonely, so he took a little fox to keep her company. This little fox is not a citizen of Qingqiu Country, he saved it from the hunters in the outside world.
Many years later, when Kapok and the little fox were able to take on human form, he named them Hong'er and Cui'er......
Hu Xianxian sighed a few times and asked Hong'er, "The scene you just imagined in my mind is your story?" ”
Hong'er nodded, "Miss Hu, I thank you for thinking about me." ”
Hu Xianxian laughed at himself, "What am I thinking about you?" It's almost the same to make you embarrassed. Hong'er, don't you really feel wronged? ”
Hong'er's eyes flashed with a moving brilliance, and she whispered leisurely: "Does Miss Hu think I am wronged?" The lord of the country asked Cui'er if she could only make her a concubine and not a queen, did she feel wronged? She said she didn't feel aggrieved. She said that as long as she could be by the side of the lord of the country for a long time, she knew that she was enough, and now she was very lucky to be his concubine, how could she feel wronged? “
Hu Xianxian asked Hong'er, "You also think the same as Cui'er?" As long as you can stay by his side, you are content? ”
Hong'er smiled, this smile finally seemed a little sad, "Cui'er is originally a fox clan, as long as she forces the lord of the country to make her queen, she can be the queen." But she never thought that way, in her heart, the lord of the country is her heaven. If the lord of the kingdom lets her go, it will be her heavens falling...... And I'm not supposed to think about the lord of the country in the first place......"
"You mean Cui'er could have asked for more, but never asked for anything...... You're always chasing what you shouldn't have got......"
Hong'er nodded solemnly, took Hu Xianxian's hand and said, "Miss Hu, don't embarrass the lord anymore, okay?" He once wanted to give up his identity as the lord of the country for me, but even if he was not the lord of the country, he was also a citizen of Qingqiu Country, and he couldn't change the iron rule that he and I couldn't be combined. ”
Hu Xianxian really doesn't have a taste in his heart, others are facing such difficult emotional entanglements, but they still have to comfort themselves as an outsider, he is really so ignorant?
Hu Xianxian smiled freely, patted his head and said, "I really don't understand what your respective minds think, but I promise you that I won't embarrass you anymore." I guess that Lie Yufeng has made important arrangements for marrying a wife at this time, and I will do my best to assist him until he is truly in power. ”
After Hong'er heard this, her smile was like a flower, "Thank you, Miss Hu." In fact, I also thought about leaving Qingqiu Country, but I really couldn't give up on him. When I couldn't take on human form, my petals occasionally fell on his head. That's when I thought, if only I could comb his hair every day. Now, my wish has come true, hasn't it? ”
Hu Xianxian said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes......"
When she said that, she was still suffocated in her heart, and she didn't want to say it anymore. She turned around and asked about the current situation in Qingqiu Kingdom, "Are you already clear about the collusion between Lie Yuxun and outsiders?" ”
"Thank you Miss Hu for the message, the lord of the country is completely clear."
The two talked for a long time, and after Hong'er left, Hu Xianxian was still sitting alone in the pavilion. She was very emotional for Hong'er, this kind of love that has no husband and wife status and will not have carnal intercourse is also love? Is it loveless love?
