055. Luo Ge and Xia Tianqing's "Secret"
"It's really rare to hear my sister say that she wants to improve. It's time for that Hongu to congratulate you. ”
Faced with her congratulations, An Wanqiu naturally responded.
Just after the two stared at each other for a while, the Queen Mother walked into the main hall of Qingxia Palace with a leisurely pace.
"I've seen the Queen Mother."
Today's Queen Mother was in a better mood than yesterday, and she came in humming a little song. She just sat down when she heard An Wanqiu's flattering words: "I don't know why Niangniang is so happy?" The song hummed today is also very good. ”
"Hmph." The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "This song is a tragedy in the opera garden "The Story of the Silk Country". It is about a businessman's daughter who fell in love with a child of an official family, and in the end, the son of an official family finally married the emperor's sister by the title of the gold list. The merchant's daughter ended up committing suicide by throwing herself into the river. Do you think the tune in this story will sound good? ”
"This ......" An Wanqiu was asked, and the face was blue and green.
The Queen Mother didn't care about her, just beckoned Luo Ge to sit down. Then they started to talk about their daily lives, as if An Wanqiu had never been here.
"Concubine De, the mourning family was unwell before, and the daily morning and dusk province will let you meet hastily. Today, the spirit of the mourning family is good, so you can stay and chat with the mourning family for a few more words. ”
"The Queen Mother wants to talk about whatever she wants, and the concubines can do it."
"In the past, I heard that you are good at opera and songs, so let's talk about "Silk Township" with the mourning family today."
"Okay."
In this way, Luo Ge listened carefully to the Queen Mother's story of "The Story of the Silk Country", while An Wanqiu continued to stand helplessly.
After standing for about an hour, An Wanqiu saw that the Queen Mother had no intention of stopping, and Luo Ge ignored her thoughts, so she casually bowed and withdrew.
Before walking out of the Qingxia Palace, An Wanqiu put on a face and said: "Hmph, I thought I would come early today and find a way to coax the Queen Mother, but who knew that the Queen Mother's old woman actually didn't accept it." It's really infuriating, it makes me wake up so early. ”
"Mother, you can't say that." The first-class palace maid who followed An Wanqiu stopped, "This is the first day you have come, and the way Niangniang wants to make the Queen Mother happy today is too obvious. That's why the Queen Mother is not happy. ”
"Hmph." Hearing her say this, An Wanqiu was even more unhappy, "You and your father both said that the palace should coax the queen mother, but look at it." With the temper of the Queen Mother, who can coax it? ”
"What is the temper of the Queen Mother? Tell me about it. ”
"Isn't it just an old lady who needs someone to hold in the palm of her hand all the time?"
Hearing what she said, the palace maid laughed and said, "You don't understand the Queen Mother too much." ”
"Isn't it?"
"The Queen Mother, whose real name is Hulan Yaduo, was originally a descendant of the leader of the northern nomads. When she was young, she was called the pearl of the grassland, and she was a woman who could ride horses and fight. When she was young, she saved her father who is now the king on the grassland, and the two fell in love, so they came to Mu Jin Kingdom. Later, she became the first female general in the history of Mu Jinguo. And she, a female general, is not a woman who only has force, she also has a plan. So do you still think that the Queen Mother is just an old lady who needs to be coaxed? ”
An Wanqiu shook her head and secretly determined: "I never expected that this Queen Mother would be so difficult to deal with. It seems that this palace is going to take it seriously. ”
An Wanqiu's departure, Luo Ge and the Queen Mother both saw it, but the two tacitly did not speak, but continued the previous topic.
It wasn't until near noon that the Queen Mother felt a little tired and said, "Today's story is half of the story, and tomorrow you will come and continue to chat with the mourning family." The mourning family wants to hear it, if it is you, what should I do. ”
After Luo Ge answered, he went back to Zhaochun Palace directly.
But today's Zhaochun Palace is different from the past, Mu Ziqin, who has never appeared during the day, suddenly appeared in the Hanxiang Palace. He stood with his back to the temple door with his hands in his hands, while his eyes fixed on a painting on the main hall of the Hanxiang Temple.
Luo Ge immediately saluted when he entered the door and said, "The concubine has seen the king." ”
Mu Ziqin ignored her, still carefully observing the paintings on the wall, and Luo Ge said again. It was Mu Ziqin who turned around and looked at her. He looked at her strangely, as if he wanted to see through her body.
Facing his eyes, Luo Ge was a little scared, and the cold feeling she wore made her tremble. Now Lu Zhi beside her saw this, and found someone to go to the inner temple to get a thin coat and put it on for her.
"Who are you?"
After Luo Ge put on his coat, he suddenly heard Mu Ziqin ask. Listening to his words, Luo Ge was a little puzzled, she was stunned for a moment, and said, "What does the king mean by asking this?" ”
"Lone wants to know, who are you?"
"Concubine?" Hearing this, Luo Ge deliberately looked down at himself and said, "The concubine is Luo Ge." Your concubine, Luo Ge. ”
"Really?" Mu Ziqin asked again.
"yes."
At this time, Luo Ge was already a little confused by his question, and his heart began to be nervous.
"You're not." Mu Ziqin shook his head.
He said this because he saw Xia Tianqing's shadow in a painting on the wall. There are too many details in that painting that only Xia Tianqing can have. Especially after seeing the outline of the landscape, he knew that it was a bad problem when Xia Tianqing painted ink painting.
Ordinary people paint the outline of the landscape in ink paintings, others like to use large brushstrokes and large paintings, but Xia Tianqing likes to use a small brush to outline the outline before painting. Therefore, her paintings of landscapes are not as simple as those of others, but can continue to paint on them.
Mu Ziqin's eyes became sharper and sharper when she looked at her, and she began to look at the things in the hall anxiously. Finally stopped at that painting. She had painted it a few days ago when she was bored, and she hadn't paid much attention to her brushwork when she had painted it, but now it seems that she really didn't regret dying.
"The king... The king. Luo Ge swallowed lightly and said, "Tell me, if the concubine is not a concubine, then who is it?" ”
Mu Ziqin snorted coldly, and then pulled her directly to the front and said, "Do you know Xia Tianqing?" ”
Luo Ge was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. It was this moment of hesitation, Mu Ziqin took her hand and made it a little heavier.
Because of the increased strength, Luo Ge frowned slightly, and then said, "Concubine... I am fortunate to have a relationship with Xia Tianqing. ”
For Mu Ziqin, this news is the best news in the past few months. Although he always remembered the technique of "resurrection and rebirth" in the book, he did not find anyone to confirm it. Now, Luo Ge said that he knew her, maybe it could be confirmed.
Mu Ziqin asked anxiously, "When have you seen her?" ”
"When I was young, I had a relationship."
"Where did you meet her?"
"When the concubine was young, she worshipped an old man as her teacher, and the family teacher and Xia Tianqing's master once met in the mountains."
"Yamanaka? But in the mountains where my master lives? ”
As soon as Mu Ziqin was excited, he revealed his identity, and he no longer held the king's shelf.
"It's not. It's the mountain of the family teacher. In the Yuansheng Mountains near the country of Nissan. ”
"Yuansheng Mountain?"
Mu Ziqin searched in his mind for memories of the mountain, and at the same time, he was also recalling when Xia Tianqing went there. However, how could he know that Xia Tianqing secretly followed him in his master's carriage that time to Yuansheng Mountain.
At that time, Luo Ge was still a naughty child, thinking about how to escape from Master's Bamboo Garden every day, and finally on a sunny day after the rain, Mrs. Yiyu received a letter from Yuansheng Mountain.
Xia Tianqing secretly climbed into the carriage when Mrs. Yi Yu was packing her luggage, and followed Mrs. Yi Yu to Yuansheng Mountain without Mu Ziqin's knowledge.
On that day, Mrs. Yi Yu went to Yuansheng Mountain to pick a rare herb, but at this moment, she said that it was the first time the two met.
The real meeting between the two was actually before Luo Ge's first mission, and that day Lan Mei'er took the masked Luo Ge to Mrs. Yiyu's bamboo garden.
Lan Mei'er came to ask Mrs. Yi Yu to diagnose Luo Ge's pulse. On that day, Luo Ge met the little girl who had the same phoenix birthmark as himself - Xia Tianqing.
Mrs. Yi Yu actually diagnosed Luo Ge's pulse as early as a year ago, and she had concluded that Luo Ge would not live to be sixteen years old. At that time, Lan Mei'er didn't believe it, so she took Luo Ge back in a fit of anger and asked her to practice martial arts in an attempt to renew Luo Ge's life, but who knows, the result after Mrs. Yi Yu's pulse diagnosis is still the same, and Luo Ge will not live to be sixteen years old.
Looking at Luo Ge, who was speechless outside the window, Lan Mei'er said, "Isn't there a way to let this child continue to live?" ”
Mrs. Yi Yu couldn't bear to be too sad, so she decided to tell Lan Mei'er what she had read in the book before, and she said, "Luo Ge wants to live past the age of sixteen, there is a way, but the price is too great. And there is no guarantee that it will survive Luo Ge. ”
"No matter. Tell me first, what's the method? ”
Looking at her face full of anticipation, Mrs. Yi Yu sighed and said, "Find a woman who was born in the same year and month as Luo Ge, and use the skills of you and me to extend her life." ”
"Is that okay?"
"Nope." Mrs. Yi Yu shook her head, "One of the most important conditions is that the two of them must have the same birthmark, if not, there may not be half a point." ”
"Birthmarks?" Lan Mei'er recalled for a moment and said, "Yes! Luo Ge has had a special birthmark since he was a child. As long as there is a fever, it will appear, and it is a phoenix birthmark that jumps up one by one. ”
"Phoenix birthmark? Are you sure? ”
"Sure. The first time I saw it, I thought it was my own dazzle. For more than ten years, I can't spend it every time, right? ”
"Fate, fate." Madame Yi Yu let out a sigh.
"What?"
"Did you know that my little apprentice also has a phoenix birthmark?" Mrs. Yi Yu pointed to Xia Tianqing, who was sitting in the courtyard with Mu Ziqin not far away.
"What is it?"
"As you say, a phoenix that leaps up. However, unlike Luo Ge, hers has always been there, and since she was a child, she has always been bloody. ”
"Then how is your little apprentice's health?"
"Be in good shape. If it weren't for the impact of a big event, she should be able to live a long life. ”
"Then you say, the two of us... Yes..."
