Chapter 45: Ice Silk Clothes

"Uncle, look, look!" I shouted at the black soul, but I didn't get a response from my uncle, and I turned my head to find that my uncle wasn't watching the wonderful horse race, but staring at the sacred palace on the mountainside. His expression was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles were white.

"Uncle, are you sick?" I walked over and shook his hand, and my uncle reacted, the corners of his mouth were unnaturally pulled out of an arc, and he hurriedly said, "Uncle is fine, Uncle just feels a little cold." ”

"Then let's go back quickly!" I don't want my uncle to get sick because he's with me.

When we walked to the door of the Snowy Sacred Palace, the Holy Aunt stood there with a dark face, as if waiting for our return. Her eyes were sharp and confused, making people look extremely uncomfortable but also with a strong shock. The Holy Aunt was not yet fifty years old, but the wrinkles on her face were rampant, and she looked like she was seventy or eighty years old, her back was slumped, and she said in a sharp and stiff voice: "Little Princess Qingyi, it's better for you not to go out for the past two days." ”

The Holy Aunt is a wizard of the Snowy Holy Country, and she is familiar with the art of prophecy, that is, witchcraft. Everyone, including my father, respected her, but I didn't like her, and I didn't believe in witchcraft. In the entire Snowy Sacred Palace, everyone knows that when Daddy married his mother, he was greatly opposed by the Holy Aunt, she said: If Daddy marries his mother, then the Snowy Sacred Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later, and the Snowy Sacred Palace will also be destroyed.

At that time, my father's determination to marry his mother was extremely resolute, and he asked the holy aunt: Is there a way to resolve it?

The Holy Aunt shook her head and did not speak. Daddy thought about it for a long time, and finally just said: I am determined to marry her, if it is really because of her, the entire Snowy Sacred Palace will be destroyed, so what? What if I only want my people to live in peace and happiness, and as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, and my home cannot be destroyed? If there really is such a day, then I am willing to die here and sleep with my snowy land.

Soon after, my father rode the black soul and married his mother to live in the Snowy Holy Palace. A year later, I was born, my father's and mother's feelings have always been very affectionate, and what they yearn for is just the life of ordinary people, so they have always asked me to call them father and mother according to the rules of the Central Plains family, instead of father and mother. The three of us have been living happily ever after.

When I first heard someone say the prophecy of the Holy Aunt, I was taken aback, crying and running to ask my mother, who did not seem so shocked, she stroked my head quietly like the wind and said: If there is really such a day, I will also accompany my husband without hesitation and sleep here.

When my mother said this, she had a smile on her face, just like when she looked at her father, it was so happy for her to die with her father......

Since then, I have had a little bit of a dislike for my aunt, simply because she doesn't like my father and mother together.

At this moment, she stood in front of me, and I don't know why I would recall it. I wanted to refute her, but I don't know why, I couldn't say anything, I just said weakly: "I know." With that, I ran back to my room.

My father and mother were already waiting for me in my room, and they seemed to be very happy, and I threw myself into my mother's arms, forgetting all the unpleasantness just now.

"Qing'er, this year's birthday daddy wants to give you a big gift!" Daddy said in a tricky way.

As soon as I heard that there was a gift, I immediately broke free from my mother's arms and jumped up for joy: "What gift? Daddy, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, Qing'er wants to see the gift! ”

Daddy picked up a cloud brocade box from the table, gently opened the box, Niang came over and took out a silver long cloak from it, the cloak looked very simple, not even any delicate patterns or decorations, but the material was very special, just the faint white, in the candlelight is enough to shine.

I stretched out my hand and touched it, and the cold touch immediately spread from my fingertips to my whole body, and I looked at Daddy and Auntie with wide eyes in surprise: "Daddy! Mother! It's as cold as snow on our snowy mountains! ”

Ah Niang put the cloak on me, and the long cloak hung smoothly to the ground, Ah Niang looked at me and said, "It seems to be a little long." ”

"It's so cool, Daddy, what is this?"

Daddy helped me sort out the folds on my cloak and said with a smile: "Does Qing'er know that our Snow Mountain, in addition to the Tianshan Snow Lotus, has any treasures?" ”

"That's a lot, there are blue bird feathers, snow red grass, silver needles, and the purest glacial meltwater on the snow field, which is used as medicine to prolong life, invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and regenerate skin!" I shook my head and said a lot of things, I remember the treasure of our snowy mountain.

"Haha, Qing'er, do you know that there is a silkworm on our snow mountain, called the snow mountain ice silkworm? They feed on snow lotus, drink the coldest ice spring, live for a hundred years, spin silk once a year on the winter solstice, its silk is the coldest substance in the world, fire does not melt, gold water does not melt. ”

"Do you vomit once a year? Such a lazy silkworm...... This shiny dress can't have this kind of silk, right? I asked, surprised.

"Yes, this silk was collected by your father when he was as old as you, and for more than 20 years, he just saved enough to weave such an ice silkworm coat for you. This dress has been knitting for a long time, it's a little long, but it can wrap you up! Mother said.

I naughtily drilled into the cloak, and Daddy also came to tease me and wrapped me firmly in the cloak: "Haha, now our little Qing'er is made of cold ice!" Don't be afraid of fire! ”

"Really? Are you sure? I got out of my cloak, stared at my big eyes and asked my father, "I'm not afraid of ice or fire now?" ”

"Of course!"

I jumped up and down in that cold, shiny dress, and at first glance it looked like an ordinary little cloak, and my mother put the hem of the cloak together, and threaded it with small pins, and put out a few little flowers, so that the cloak was just the right length. I spun around and looked at the pretty little flowers under the cloak, and I was so happy that I didn't want to take them off.

So I kept dressing, and in the evening I saw the Holy Aunt again in the Holy Palace.

"Holy Aunt." I don't know why, but I wanted to talk to this mysterious woman. "Is my little cloak pretty?"

The holy aunt stopped in front of me, looked at my rough cloak without any fancy and frowned, embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, I knew that this cloak was really ugly from the fabric.

"Not very delicate, right?" I asked her.

"Little Princess Qingyi, it's good if you like it." The Holy Aunt replied, a faint smile on her face, which at first glance seemed a little kind.

I don't know what's going on, but I actually wanted to get close to her, so I picked up the corner of my little cloak, carried it to the Holy Aunt, looked at her sincerely and said, "Holy Aunt, do you know, this dress is not afraid of fire!" ”

The Holy Aunt seemed to be taken aback, she looked at me coldly, and I was startled by her eyes. But after a while, her expression became strange, and there was a terrible smile that made people not know what she was thinking, and gradually her expression softened, as if she had accomplished a very important thing. At the end, she stretched out her withered hand and slowly touched my head, looked into the distance and said, "Don't be afraid of fire...... He really did it...... It turned out that he believed me after all! ”

I didn't know how to answer her, I knew that what she was talking about was probably my daddy. I don't know what happened between her and her father, she would think that her father didn't believe her at all.

"But even so, is he willing...... Hehe......"

She picked me up and took me to the corridor next to me and sat up: "Little Princess Qingyi, can you promise the Holy Aunt one thing?" “

I looked at the Holy Aunt blankly, not knowing what she wanted to say.

"Little Princess Qingyi, such beautiful clothes, are you always wearing them?"

"But for how long?" I asked the Holy Aunt, does the Holy Aunt want me to wear this cloak forever? But why?

"I don't know how long I'm going to wear it, so I don't want to take it off when I don't want to."

I nodded, this request is not too difficult, and I don't want to take off this and this dress now, so I agreed to the request of the Holy Aunt.

"And," said the Holy Aunt, "can you just think of it as an ordinary garment, and don't tell anyone what it is for?" ”

I looked at the Holy Aunt suspiciously, I don't know why she would make such a request, if this dress is obliterated and is just an ordinary dress, then it really has no value and no beauty at all, and I can't show off my precious gift to anyone.

"Promise me!" The Holy Aunt stared into my eyes tightly, as if she would not give up if I agreed to her terms, her eyes frightened me, made me feel a creepy sense of oppression, I broke free of her hand and ran back to the room.

I hated being forced by orders, but I was always scared because of her words, so I listened to her and didn't tell anyone about the special thing about the dress, including my best friend Fluttershy.

The next day was my seventh birthday.

The inside of the holy palace has long been decorated with an excellent atmosphere, because of relatives, this birthday is also relatively lively, the hall is already full of people, but I haven't seen my uncle for a long time.

I pulled my mother's sleeve and asked, "Mother, where is my uncle?" “

My mother smiled and said, "I don't know, my uncle said that there are good things for Qingyi, and today I brought a few people to the bottom of the mountain, and I don't know what to bring to Qingyi." ”
