Chapter 14: The Position of the Palace Master
Cui Siyu pulled Xiao Yuyin and walked to an octagonal pavilion in King Jing's mansion, without saying anything all the way. The trees on both sides, because of the autumn, have long since lost the lush greenery that Xiao Yuyin had just entered the mansion, and the leaves were a little yellow. As soon as the wind blew, the road fluttered gently on the ground, and the feet stepped on it, making a slight noise.
Until he walked to the Octagonal Pavilion, Cui Siyu didn't speak, just let go of Xiao Yuyin's hand, looked at her quietly, and stared at her face.
Xiao Yuyin was stared at unnaturally, and she was also a little puzzled. didn't say anything, just looked at Cui Siyu with some amusement, "Why are you looking at me like this, do I still have flowers on my face today?" ”
Cui Siyu opened his eyes and looked at the pool of water, distracted for a long time. Next to the octagonal pavilion is a pond, the trees next to the pond sway with the arrival of the wind, the branches sway, a few leaves gently fall on the surface of the water, swinging round after circle of water lines, layer upon layer to spread around.
The surroundings were quiet, each other's breathing sounds could be heard clearly, Cui Siyu didn't speak, and Xiao Yuyin didn't disturb her.
I don't know how long it took for Cui Siyu to speak, and asked softly, "Can you answer me honestly?"
Although Xiao Yuyin didn't know what she would ask, she still nodded, "You ask, right?" ”
Cui Siyu's gaze finally fell on her again, staring at her eyes with burning eyes, "Do you treat me as a friend?" ”
Xiao Yuyin was a little puzzled why she suddenly asked this question, but she still nodded and said, "Of course."
Cui Siyu's expression heard her answer, and she turned her face away, "Since you treat me as a friend, then answer me honestly, this question is very important to me, to you, and also to you?" ”
The wind blew gently, Cui Siyu's hair was blown by the wind, Xiao Yuyin could see expressions similar to sadness and joy on her face, such opposing emotions appeared on her face at the same time, she felt that things must not be simple.
"Anything I know, I can tell you." Xiao Yuyin replied softly, she felt that she had no secrets to hide from her.
Cui Siyu's eyes finally moved away from the circle of water lines when she heard her words, fell on her face, stared at her face tightly, there was no sadness or joy in her voice, it was very calm, even she didn't know how she could be so calm at this time, Cui Siyu heard her voice and asked: "Tell me honestly, Yin'er, do you have a redbud pattern in your eyebrows, this question is really important."
Bauhinia pattern, this is the second time she has heard this question from someone else's mouth, but her mood is very different, Xiao Yuyin doesn't understand why Cui Siyu asked this, "Are you from the Moon Palace?" What is the purpose exactly? ”
Cui Siyu didn't answer directly, but just lifted the clothes on his chest, revealing his delicate collarbone, and his skin was as white as jade. Just a little below the collarbone, there is a small flower, which slowly meets Xiao Yuyin's eyes.
It was a small pink flower, with five petals in turn, delicate and beautiful.
When Xiao Yuyin saw this flower, her eyes were a little shocked, she was not unfamiliar with this little flower, it was the same as the flower on her head.
Cui Siyu slowly sorted out her clothes, looked at her somewhat dumbfounded expression, and said softly: "That's right, I'm the one who leaves the Moon Palace, but we really won't do anything to you."
Xiao Yuyin didn't speak, and only after a while did he slowly raise his right hand, and gently rubbed it in the center of his eyebrows, and with the movement of his fingers, a flower like Xiao Yuyin slowly appeared, lifelike and delicate.
Cui Siyu took a step forward, gently stroked her eyebrows with her fingers, and then her eyes sank more and more.
"What is your purpose?" Xiao Yuyin gently avoided her hand, took a step back, and stared at Cui Siyu with some vigilance, and the mysteries in her heart emerged one by one, making her more and more apprehensive the more she thought about it.
Cui Siyu also took a step back, and then sat on the stone bench, as if thinking about something, although Xiao Yuyin was a little puzzled, but she didn't speak, she sat down on the other side of the table, waiting for Cui Siyu to organize the language, she knew that she would definitely tell her.
"Liyue Palace, the purpose of escaping the world for thousands of years is to find someone, a person with a bauhinia pattern in the center of his eyebrows." Cui Siyu looked at the willow tree not far away, the branches were sluggish, reflected in the water, a little desolate, and even Cui Siyu's voice was a little cool, "However, I still didn't find the boy after looking for it, and it wasn't until I heard that a woman had a purple moon flute in her hand more than a month ago, so I had some clues to find." ”
Xiao Yuyin listened quietly, but didn't say anything, Nalan Heng once told her that Liyue Palace was protecting him, that is, at that time, she was already known by Liyue Palace. But when Xiao Yuyin listened to it at this time, it didn't feel like a disaster.
No one would want to spend thousands of years just to find her. However, why did you look for her, and it took so long. Either because she has a feud with them, or because she thinks she is important.
"Why are you looking for this person, what is your purpose in leaving the Moon Palace, and what do you want to do?" Xiao Yuyin couldn't help but ask.
Cui Siyu shook his head gently, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint arc, "We don't have any purpose, it's just the mission of this generation." ”
"What's the reason for that?" Xiao Yuyin was a little puzzled, but she was also straightforward and quick-witted, and immediately asked.
"Because this person is important to us to start with, really important." Cui Siyu smiled softly, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes, looking at her appearance, she should have remembered something.
"What's important?" Xiao Yuyin frowned unconsciously and asked softly.
"More than a thousand years ago, the palace master of the Liyue Palace suddenly disappeared and never appeared again. The identities of the palace master and the young master of the Liyue Palace are hereditary. Cui Siyu paused, thought about it and spoke again, since he was ready to open the skylight and say something bright, then don't hide it, "What we are looking for is the palace master of Liyue Palace, there is a redbud in the center of her eyebrows, just like the redbud under my collarbone, it is not painted, but born, just this one." ”
Xiao Yuyin listened carefully, didn't bother her, and only after listening to it did she understand something roughly.
Since twenty-five years ago, when I met the young man with the purple moon flute, I always paid attention to the movements of the purple moon flute, because the young man who held the purple moon flute, what he said, his sister had a bauhinia flower pattern in the center of her eyebrows, but she was not in this world, in another time and space.
It was also from then on that Liyue Palace began to pay attention to the clues of the Ziying Moon Flute, but they didn't find it for a while, and it wasn't until they got the news that day that they knew that the person they were looking for might have appeared.
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuyin understands that she is the descendant of the palace master who disappeared at the beginning, and Xiao Yuyin is the one hundred and eight generations of the head of their family, which means that maybe the palace master has traveled to their time and space, that is, she doesn't know how many generations of ancestors.
According to this, Xiao Zhenghong of Xiqin is really her uncle.
Xiao Yuyin was in a daze, while Cui Siyu stared at Xiao Yuyin with burning eyes, looking at the bauhinia flower in the center of her eyebrows, and breathed a sigh of relief gently, but at the same time of relief, she was slightly worried.
Just like she said to Zixuan, Nalan Heng may be a curse, but if it is a curse, the previous curse of the palace master who disappeared is gone, and it has been solved, so it stands to reason that there really shouldn't be that curse.
But listening to Zixuan's meaning, the symptoms were the same as the one she saw in Liyue Palace. This is something she is not very sure about now, and it is also when Xiao Yuyin is really the palace master of Liyue Palace, just now she has quietly used a special method to verify it, so she is even more puzzled.
"Siyu, what is your identity in Liyue Palace?" Xiao Yuyin thought about it and spoke again, looking at her like this, she could guess that her identity must not be low.
Cui Siyu didn't answer immediately, but asked her rhetorically, "How much do you know about Liyue Palace?" ”
Xiao Yuyin shook her head, saying that she didn't know anything about Liyue Palace, and waited for Cui Siyu to explain it to her.
"There is such a sentence in Liyue Palace, that is, 'one palace and one division, four halls, five envoys and seven maids', 'one palace and one division' refers to the palace master and the young secretary, and the four halls refer to the Qinglong Palace, the White Tiger Palace, the Vermilion Bird Palace, and the Xuanwu Palace. Each hall has a hall master, the Qinglong Hall is responsible for all the money and property in the palace, the White Tiger Hall controls the palace guards, the Vermilion Bird Hall is in charge of criminal law enforcement, and the Xuanwu Hall is responsible for teaching and martial arts. Cui Siyu said here and stopped, looking at her quietly,
"So what's the matter with the 'Five Envoys and Seven Handmaidens'?" Xiao Yuyin didn't quite understand, so she asked.
The status of the five envoys was slightly lower than that of the four palace masters, and they were directly under the jurisdiction of the palace master Shao Si Ming. The seven maids refer to seven maids in each hall. And they are responsible for assisting the subordinate hall master to manage the lower level and the rudder affairs. ”
Xiao Yuyin listened to Cui Siyu's answer, but she also understood a little, and she knew very well how strict she was from the Moon Palace.
"By the way, in a few days, you will have to go to Liyue Palace, although you are the master of the first palace, before you pass the assessment of Liyue Palace, you are not the palace master." Cui Siyu thought about Xiao Yuyin's current situation and reminded him again.
"Uh-huh!" Xiao Yuyin nodded, and then brought up the question she had just asked, "What is your identity in Liyue Palace?" ”
"I won't tell you, just guess for yourself!" Cui Siyu smiled very proudly, the red clothes were fluttering, it was still a very beautiful painting, not a landscape, it was an oil painting, so bright and dazzling.
Xiao Yuyin was silent, and if he didn't tell him, he wouldn't tell you, anyway, if he was not one of the four hall masters, he was Shao Si Ming, maybe Shao Si Ming was more likely.
It's just that how did you get to another world and change to the lord of a palace, this world is really a little wonderful.
