Chapter 233: Imperial Power
When the paper of history becomes more and more wrinkled and almost yellowed, how many people can still remember those who were once engraved into the bone marrow?
Just like today, two thousand years later, Hugh said that it was the queen of the Red Phoenix, even if it was the prosperous Red Phoenix Clan, how many people could report their names?
Therefore, that day in Gu'er Mountain, when Bai Lan called out her name, it would leave such a deep touch in the woman's heart. It's been 2,000 years...... It's been two thousand years, and no one has ever called it anymore.
How long is 2,000 years? Hundreds of reincarnations.......
However, for races like the phoenix, which have an endless lifespan, it is just a sneeze time, or even a blink of an eye. It's so short, so short that so many things that you can't forget even if you want to.
Many, many years ago, when Autumn was a child. She vaguely remembered that at that time, her identity seemed to be very noble, so noble that she could basically get everything she wanted.
More than 170 years have passed, and for her, it will be her tenth birthday in a flash.
"Son, today is your 170th birthday, Luo'er, what gift do you want? No matter what the gift is, as long as you can tell it, your father can help you get it, say, what do you want? ”
At that time, King Chifeng, when he was still in his prime, only had such a daughter under his knees, and she opened her mouth for food and stretched out her hand for clothes, basically she gave whatever she wanted, not to mention how much she was pampered.
This is the 170th birthday, but King Feng can't close his mouth.
The queen beside her covered her mouth and smiled, and pushed him, "Look at you, if your daughter wants the stars in the sky, you will also take them off for her?" ”
"Huh?" King Feng was stunned, "This ......" He was a little embarrassed. Suddenly, he laughed and grabbed his daughter beside him, "Pick, even if your daughter wants a star in the sky, your father has to take it off for you!" ”
But the little princess's face is not very good-looking. She pouted and turned her head away, as if she had something on her mind.
The queen noticed something strange and looked at her daughter worriedly, "What's wrong with you, Luo'er?" But there is something in my heart. Or is it not feeling well? Why do you seem to be unhappy? ”
The little princess bowed her head sullenly, and the sparkling thing in her eyes was about to slip off.
She suddenly shook off King Feng's hand and knelt down straight. King Feng was shocked when he saw this. The queen also couldn't close her mouth, and hurriedly pulled the daughter in front of her, "Hey, Luo'er, what are you doing?" ”
She stiffened her head and choked up an earth-shattering sentence. "Father...... Mother, I ...... I want to get married. ”
As soon as he spoke, King Feng and Queen Feng were stunned for a moment, then they glanced at each other and laughed.
The queen patted her on the back and stroked her gently. "Who does Luo'er like, and her heart is budding?"
Originally, when he said that sentence, he was already very surprised. Now that her mother asked so clearly, her face was red to the base of her neck again.
She rubbed the corners of her clothes and muttered, "Yes......"
"What's his name? What are you doing now? Luo'er is relieved, as long as you like it. Father will do anything to let him marry you! ”
King Feng's old mistake has been made again. As long as her daughter makes a request, whether it is right or wrong, as long as she speaks, she always does not go through her brain, and she agrees to everything.
The queen is careful, after all, she is a mother, she hid her face and smiled, and spread her hands to show her understanding, "In these days, which girl is not pregnant with spring......"
"So, daughter, the queen mother asks you two questions, one is, what is his name? Second, you say you like him, but what do you like about him, can you say it? ”
Qiu Luoyi's face was red, and he was embarrassed to look up at his parents.
He ...... Actually, I don't know what his name is, I'm just, I just slipped out of the palace and met a bad guy, he has a good heart and saved my life......"
"Huh?" The queen smiled and looked sideways at King Feng, "Look, it's another story of a vulgar hero saving beauty." ”
"Queen Mother...... Don't laugh at me anymore......" Qiu Luoyi pushed the queen and looked up, "He's a very beautiful man!" ”
"What? You actually left the palace without permission? King Feng was angry when he heard this, and clapped his hands, "When is it, why don't you tell it in advance?" Still in danger? Oh, my God...... Who the hell dares to do this to the king's daughter, if the king knows......"
"Father!" Qiu Luoyi pouted, "Don't mention these things again, you know that what your daughter wants to say today is not this thing!" If you don't want to agree, you don't want to agree, and if you don't want to help me say it directly, my daughter won't complain about you, but please don't change the topic under any pretext. ”
"Hey......" King Feng sighed, in fact, when he heard that his daughter was in danger, he was naturally anxious, angrily forgetting the situation at this time, and he didn't expect that his daughter would misunderstand it as changing the topic, and he didn't want to agree. But his daughter had already misunderstood it like this, or it was another way to ask for his help, and at this time, although he was aggrieved, he had no choice but to smile and hand over the control of the home field to the queen.
"Daughter, the queen mother and your father want to know, what exactly do you want to do? Or do you want us to do something for you? ”
Na Qiu Luoyi bit his lip, raised his head, and said the most categorical sentence in his life, "I want to be with him and never be separated." ”
Hearing this, King Feng and Queen both smiled helplessly, although they felt that it was a little difficult for this birthday gift to be realized. However, he couldn't stand his daughter's hard request, so he had to sigh and accept this request.
The little princess was naturally overjoyed. In this fairy tale of the girl's spring, she can stay with her prince charming at the beginning of her love, it is undoubtedly a thing worth celebrating, she folds flowers and climbs bamboos in the imperial garden every day, and even sometimes secretly fantasizes about the life of the person in the future, thinking of this, the heart is happy, and the day is so happy. It's just that...... When she was young, she never understood that feelings have always been a matter of two people, one person, even if he invests and pays again, and lacks the acceptance and recognition of the other person, it will eventually return to zero, and the final outcome will only make both people unhappy, of course, this is only the lightest and lightest result.
After many investigations, King Feng finally figured out that the princess was in distress that day, and the righteous man who stepped forward to help was a handsome man named Xu Ying, a scholarly family, occasionally doing small business, and the family was also a famous family in the south, and he was a decent person, whether in terms of ability or background, it was enough to be this horse master.
However, providence is often like this, and the more you try to move in a better direction, the worse it gets.
Providence makes people, it is wrong, and there is no fate...... I don't know what words to use to describe it. In short, there is only one sentence, the handsome man named Xu Ying, he already has a partner and a very loving partner.
When they knew about this matter, King Feng and Queen Feng also frowned, knowing that this matter was difficult to do, and they had also thought about persuading their daughter, forget it, the child already has a target, the twisted melon is not sweet, etc. But when I saw my daughter, I saw her expectant smile, which bloomed into a bouquet, and a word was choked in my throat, and I couldn't say anything.
No one wants to disappoint her, as a parent, no one wants her to be sad, after all, this is the first time that her daughter likes someone else, and she likes it so deeply. But......
King Feng was angry, the king was a king after all, how could he not put the lives of the people below in his eyes, a word, or even a look, could put a person to death.
This king is a king, an omnipotent king, can't even this little request of his daughter be satisfied? It's the first time she likes someone so much, she's on her 170th birthday, can't she even meet this little request?
He had promised her that even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would desperately pluck them for her.
This simple matter, he doesn't need to work hard, just say a word, and the next holy decree is it. He is a king, and who dares to disobey him?
So, that night, a white silk appeared in the Xu family, there is no reason, no reason, there is only one sentence, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, cut herself!
What's with? The princess has taken a fancy to Xu Ying, and your existence has blocked the princess's path and the way of the concubine. That's why, but it's not the reason.
Kill you alone, or the whole family, or even the whole clan? The daughter-in-law of the Xu family, you can do it yourself!
Or, how valuable do you think you are, you die, let the entire Xu family bury you?
This choice is actually no choice. The daughter-in-law of the Xu family is also a sensible person, and she will die when she dies, if she affects others again, it will be disloyal and unfilial, besides, the princess has taken a fancy to her husband, which is also a great thing, at least the Xu family and the royal family are implicated, no matter what it is in the future, it will be much better. So, the daughter-in-law knelt down to receive the white silk, hung it on the beam that night, and committed suicide.
At this time, the queen just summoned Xu Ying over, and she was a guest for a long time, and even stayed overnight, talking about dispensable nonsense, at least in Xu Ying's eyes.
But when the queen summons, who dares not to see it? The queen stays overnight, who dares not to obey? So, Xu Ying stayed in the Luanfeng Palace for a night, and of course, the queen gave him 10,000 taels of gold for no reason.
Although he kept saying that there was no merit and no luck, the gold was forced by the queen to bring it back. The queen's reason is that she is sympathetic to the people and so on. Although Xu Ying herself doesn't understand at all, she has something to be sympathetic about.
With these suspicions, he went home anxious.
In fact, at that time, Xu Ying didn't think much about it.
