Feng Zuo Zhaoyi saw that her face was pale and her feet seemed to be damaged, so he asked her what was wrong.
She told her aunt that she had accidentally bumped and had not slept well at night, and had nightmares all the time, so that her face looked pale, so that her aunt should not worry.
She asked Feng Zuo Zhaoyi to retreat from the palace maid and told her aunt about Gu Qing.
"It turns out that your eldest aunt's son is your eldest brother Gu Qing?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was overjoyed.
"Auntie, is that really the case?" Although Gu Qingcheng knew that this was an inevitable result, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi entered the inner hall and found an old silk silk.
There seemed to be mixed feelings in his eyes, and he looked at Gu Tingcheng and said:
"Rouran Kedun's maiden name is Feng Lang, she is the eldest sister of her aunt and mother, and she was originally the eldest princess of Beiyan. Below the eldest princess is the prince's elder brother Feng Lang......"
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi paused when he said this, and looked at Gu Qingcheng with tears in his eyes.
After a while, after recovering his mood, he said:
"My aunt is the youngest seventh princess, and when the eldest sister and Qin Rouran were in Beiyan, my aunt was still in Beiyan and was a princess to be married.
It was only a few years later that my aunt made peace with the current emperor, and soon received a letter from your eldest aunt from Rouran.
said that her Wang son was dropped in Pingcheng, and there was a rosewood xun in swaddling clothes at that time, and the child had a crescent red birthmark on the buttocks, so she asked her aunt to help find it.
The Northern Wei Dynasty and Rouran have been at war constantly, and my aunt does not dare to blatantly help Rouran find the prince.
In the early years, my aunt also quietly asked people to search everywhere, but there was a vast sea of people, where to find the child with a crescent birthmark on the buttocks?
My aunt can't let people take off their pants one by one to see if they have a crescent birthmark on their buttocks.
Therefore, I have found nothing all these years, and my aunt thought that she couldn't find it, so she gave up looking for it again, and my aunt was ashamed to face your eldest aunt. ”
Gu Tingcheng took the silk silk and looked at it again, and as her aunt said, Feng Lang entrusted her sister Aunt Feng to help her find her son.
also talked about the characteristics and tokens of the child, but the sea of people is vast, and it is too difficult to find a lost child.
If it weren't for the coincidence, those Rouran envoys just happened to come to celebrate the birthday of the ancestor, and they happened to meet Gu Qing on the road, and their flesh and blood would really sink into the sea.
"Auntie, fortunately, the emperor has lived up to his wishes, and the eldest aunt's Wang Er has found it, and he will bring his eldest brother to see his aunt another day.
The aunt can also write to the eldest aunt to avoid her worry. Gu Tingcheng held Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's hand and comforted his aunt.
In Gu Tingcheng's heart, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi is already an aunt.
"Allure, you remember, you and Qing'er, you are all the same root, you must love each other and help each other. Remember, at all times, you must live well. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said earnestly.
Gu Tingcheng heard Feng Zuo Zhaoyi say that he had the same root as his eldest brother, and said in his heart:
My aunt was confused, Gu Qing was not Gu Zhongnian's son, and they were no longer the same root.
Or maybe my aunt really thinks she is a nephew.
Thinking that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi treated himself so sincerely, he became closer to Feng Zuo Zhaoyi in his heart.
Gu Tingcheng chatted with his aunt for a while and confirmed the life experience of his eldest brother.
After a pause, she still confessed to her aunt about Tuoba Han's insult to herself in the Imperial Garden just now.
"Allure, you are really bold, you dare to go against the third prince?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said in fear.
"Auntie, you don't know, he's a bad guy.
On my way to Pingcheng, I saw that he had set up a beauty hunting field, bought all the female slaves who were a little beautiful, put them in the beauty hunting field, and let a large group of wild wolves chase and gnaw them.
While letting the wolves chase and shooting arrows at the slave girls, the slave girls who survived were ravaged by them. Gu Qingcheng said stupidly.
"What you said is true?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi asked solemnly.
"Really! Allure saw it with her own eyes. Gu Qingcheng nodded angrily.
"That's so inhumane!" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said bitterly.
"Auntie, he still wanted to pull me into the rockery and was rude to me. I rewarded him with a kick, and the strength was just right, and it was already merciful at the feet. Otherwise, he ...... I'm afraid that I will become an internal prison. Gu Tingcheng said indignantly.
"Allure, you have to be careful. King Dongping pretended to be polite and polite in front of His Majesty and others, but he didn't expect that he was lustful and cruel behind his back, and even His Majesty was deceived by him.
Such a person, once he takes a fancy to you, he will not give up.
And if you dare to beat the prince, it is a crime of disobedience, and the consequences are unimaginable. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said worriedly.
"It's he who wants to tease me first, and I'm defending myself." Gu Qingcheng muttered in a low voice, "Is the emperor conniving at his princes and grandsons like this?" ”
"Even if he despises you, he is the prince after all, and who dares to beat the prince when he waits for idlers." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi shook his head and said.
Seeing that Gu Tingcheng's face was still indignant, she gently stroked Gu Tingcheng's hair again, and sighed:
"You remember, there is only imperial power in this world, how can it be reasonable."
"In short, if he wants to slighten me, I won't let him get his wish.
Such a womanizer regards human life as a mustard person, and he doesn't know how many daughters' homes have been destroyed under his hands.
If you don't teach him a lesson, he will do anything wrong in the future. ”
Gu Tingcheng insisted on his position.
"Child, this world is the law of the jungle, and the people of the defeated country are slaves, miserable, and their lives are like ants." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi shook his head helplessly.
Thinking of the destruction of her homeland and the tragic death of her mother's Fengmen clan, she couldn't help but feel melancholy.
looked at Gu Qingcheng and burst into tears.
"I'm sorry Auntie, Allure worries you." Gu Qingcheng saw that his aunt was so anxious that he cried, and his heart became scared.
If the king of Dongping forcibly captured himself back to the palace regardless of whether he was the one who prepared the birthday banquet of his ancestors, he would really send the sheep into the wolf's den.
"Auntie, don't cry, it's Allure's mistake, Allure shouldn't be impulsive." Gu Qingcheng knelt in front of Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and said.
"No, it's not that Allure is wrong, it's that this world is wrong, it's God who doesn't open his eyes, so many people suffer." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi sighed and helped Gu Chengcheng to rise.
Gu Qingcheng hurriedly wiped his aunt's tears.
Seeing my aunt so nervous about herself, she was extremely moved in her heart, and tears came out of her eyes.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said quietly:
"Actually, which man is not a womanizer, even if His Majesty sees you, I'm afraid he will have a wrong thought.
Therefore, you must not appear in front of His Majesty unless you have to.
Fortunately, you have a marriage contract with the king of Nan'an, and I don't think they dare to act recklessly. ”
"Auntie, Allure will not marry King Nan'an." Gu Tingcheng told Feng Zuo Zhaoyi truthfully.
"Don't marry the king of Nan'an?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment.
"Originally, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi felt that Allure grew up in the countryside and was not worthy of the king of Nan'an, so he asked me to come back and quit my family.
Because she had some handles in the hands of Allure, she had to let me keep this doll for the time being.
I reached an agreement with Lu Zuo Zhaoyi, once the filial piety period of King Nan'an expires, I will take the initiative to withdraw from my family. ”
"You want to take the initiative to quit your family?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi asked softly: "Don't you want to marry the king of Nan'an and be the princess of Nan'an?" ”
"What's so good about being Princess Nan'an? The average big family, with three wives and four concubines, competing for favor with each other, is already exhausted. ”
Gu Tingcheng thought of Liu Rushuang and those aunts at home, so he didn't want to wade into those troubled waters.
"Let me marry into the palace again," she shook her head and sighed again: "In so many beauties, if I ask for a man's mercy, the happiness of my life will be ruined." ”
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's expression was gloomy, in this huge palace, isn't every woman begging for a man's mercy?
"I want to ask for a good gentleman who treats me wholeheartedly, even if he doesn't have a prominent position, as long as he truly loves me and treats me wholeheartedly, I have no regrets in this life." Gu Qingcheng said shyly and timidly.
Gu Qingcheng thought of the devil.
However, what will happen if you are entangled with him?
She couldn't help but flinch in her heart.
"But Allure, since ancient times, men have been three wives and four concubines, and it is not easy to find a man who is dedicated to himself." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi caressed Gu Qingcheng lovingly.
Gu Tingcheng smiled indifferently and said, "Auntie doesn't have to worry about Allure, if you can't find me, you won't marry, and you will be a doctor who saves people for the rest of your life." ”
"You child, how can a woman not marry, and she won't be laughed at by others." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said.
"Auntie, I think you have to live for yourself as a human being, so why care about other people's gossip.
Others love to chew on the root of their tongues, so let them go. Gu Tingcheng helped Feng Zuo Zhaoyi knead his shoulders.
"What a stupid boy." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's mouth was full of doting.
"Or, after Allure retreats, I will accompany my aunt for a long time and serve my aunt for a lifetime." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile again.
"Okay, good," Feng Zuo Zhaoyi quipped, "I'll be with my aunt for a lifetime." ”
Gu Tingcheng and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi spoke, and the two went to visit the ancestor together.
Every time she sees her ancestor, she is the happiest, and she keeps her best state to meet her ancestor.
The old ancestor smiled every time he saw Gu Tingcheng.
"Little Allure, come on, come on, the ancestor misses you." The old ancestor stretched out his hand to Gu Qingcheng.
"Allure often thinks about his ancestors." Gu Qingcheng took the hand of the old ancestor and sat beside her.
They chatted for a while, and the ancestor said that Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's piano skills were among the best in the palace.
It's been a long time since I've heard Feng Zuozhaoyi play the piano, and I want to hear her piano sound.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi recommended that Gu Tingcheng play, and Gu Tingcheng also wanted to play the piano to his ancestors, so he didn't refuse:
"Allure is in front of my aunt, so I got an axe."
"The mourning family has a blessing today." The old ancestor looked at Gu Qingcheng and said happily.
"Allure's piano skills are unbearable, but if the ancestors like it, Allure will try to find time to play the piano for the ancestors every day, so that the ancestors will have a happy mood every day." Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly.
The old ancestor sat with Feng Zuo Zhaoyi on the verandah of the garden of Wanshou Palace.
Gu Qingcheng burned incense with his hands, and played the piano leisurely in the water pavilion on the lake in Wanshou Palace.
Listening to Gu Tingcheng's long-term and changeable, like the sound of the piano flowing in the mountains, the old ancestor said to Feng Zuo Zhaoyi in surprise:
"Listen, the little allure is actually "Mountains and Flowing Water". It's refreshing, it's really lingering! ”
"Well, old ancestor, I didn't expect Allure to be so advanced at such a young age." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was also pleasantly surprised.
"Listen to the sound of the piano in the small alluring city," the old ancestor said with his eyes slightly closed, "Even if the mourning family is in the deep palace, they can feel the murmuring of the streams of the high mountains and flowing waters, the singing of birds and insects, and the splendid rivers and mountains." ”
"Ancestor, Allure is well-intentioned." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said.
The old ancestor glanced at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi with a smile.
Feng Zuo Zhaoyi continued:
She saw that the ancestors had been alone in the deep palace for many years, and she couldn't look at the scenery outside.
With the sound of the piano, he depicted a beautiful picture of the ancestors and made the ancestors happy. ”
"What a painful child." The wise eyes of the old ancestor were instantly hazy with tears.
Tuoba Tao in the imperial study was talking to Mu Cheng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, when he heard the sound of the piano coming from the Wanshou Palace.
After listening to it for a while, I couldn't help but step out of the imperial study and walk to the imperial garden.
Looking at the direction of Wanshou Palace, he ordered Mu Cheng to quickly send someone to find out who was playing the piano.
The Imperial Forest Army sent by Mu Cheng quickly returned: "Your Majesty, it is Gu Qingcheng who is playing the piano for the ancestors. ”
The emperor bowed slightly, and then raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone not to disturb him listening to the piano.
Zong Ai hurriedly ordered someone to move to the throne so that the emperor could enjoy the piano comfortably.
"Commander Mu, did you see that?" Tuoba Tao closed his eyes slightly, and entered the melodious realm of music.
The ethereal overtones lead people into the rippling blue waves and smoky artistic conception.
Mountains and flowing water, water and clouds, gurgling streams, insects and birds, and rustling leaves.
It is really a splendid picture of rivers and mountains. Tuoba Tao muttered.
Although the emperor was asking himself, he seemed to be muttering to himself, and Commander Mu didn't dare to say much on the side, because he was already incomplete.
Zong Ai saw the emperor so intoxicated with the rhyme of the piano in the city, and couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.
Mu Cheng was waiting, and he didn't dare to disturb the emperor's quiet piano appreciation.
It wasn't until the song "Mountains and Flowing Water" was played that the emperor opened his eyes and slowly stood up.
Looking at the Wanshou Palace, he sighed with emotion:
"I didn't expect that girl from the Gu family, at such a young age, would have such profound attainments.
can play such a yaqin, I think it must be a compelling aura, no wonder Lu Zuo Zhaoyi asked her to prepare for the birthday banquet of her ancestors. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen has never heard such a beautiful piano sound, as if he is in a paradise of mountains and rivers." Mu Cheng interjected at this time.
"It's really rare." The emperor bowed his head again and instructed Mu Cheng: "In the future, as long as you find that the girl of the Gu family is playing the piano, you will notify me in advance." ”
"No, Your Majesty!" Mu Cheng replied respectfully.
When I came back from the Wanshou Palace, it was already afternoon, and Gu Tingcheng was in the rocking chair in the courtyard of the West Palace, his eyes were hazy, and he rested for a while.
The gentle breeze blows, and the cool breeze blows in the shade of the flowers, blowing people's bones soft and smoky.
Some palace people wanted Gu Tingcheng to lie down and sleep in the dormitory, but Gu Tingcheng only felt that his mouth was lingering, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more astringent, and his eyes were completely closed.
Gu Qingcheng fell asleep all of a sudden, and had a dream.
She dreamed of the capital of the Xia Dynasty three thousand years ago, but she saw the palace towering, pavilions and pavilions.
Queen Shi Meixi's palace is more Biwa Zhuyong, carved fence jade, golden and brilliant, beautiful. Wine pond meat forest, wide for cruises.
The king Xia Wei took the queen Shi Meixi and other beauties to sing every night.
That Xia Wei turned out to be the Dongping King Tuoba Han!
At this moment, thousands of men and women covered their bodies in the wine pool drank and reveled, and enjoyed themselves with the king.
And the queen Shi Meixi was piled up with a mountain of silk and satin in front of her, and several palace ladies tore the brocade, making a clear cracking sound.
"Queen, this cracked silk voice, can the Pomeranians laugh?" The suave and lascivious Xia Jian asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it is the sound of this cracked silk, and the concubines hear it, especially the sound of heaven." Shi Mei smiled happily, seducing her soul, which can really be described as a national beauty.
How can the queen be like a person?
That's right, that Shi Meixi is the An Lingtina who met in Linglong Pavilion!
"Right...... The queen, the widow likes the beauty to smile like this. "Xia Ji's bones are soft.
The palace is extravagant, drunk and dreams of death.
But a few old courtiers knelt outside and admonished him, persuading Xia Wei not to squander the people's fat and indulge in extravagance.
Some old ministers scolded the queen Shi Meixi for being a demon fox, looting silk and satin, and building a luxurious wine pond meat forest, all of which wanted the Great Xia Dynasty to overthrow!
He also scolded Xia Wei for pampering the queen and misleading the country and becoming a sinner through the ages!
Xia Wei was angry, not only beat those old ministers, but also drove more than 300 hungry tigers out of the streets of the capital in the iron cage and chased and bit the people of the city.
And Xia Wei hugged Queen Shi Meixi and a group of beauties, and made fun of it on the high city tower.
The more people on the street screamed, the more Xia Wei and the beauties laughed.
Xia Wei also asked the guards to stand on the eaves, and there were people who were hiding from the tigers, which was regarded as disobedience and shot to death.
Gu Qingcheng found that she was also in the crowd that was fleeing in panic, and she lured all the nearby tigers to her side, telling the people to flee for their lives.
She only held a peachwood sword in her hand, struggling to drive away the hungry tiger that was eating and biting the crowd.
A fierce tiger swooped down on her head, and an earth-shattering tiger roar came out of her mouth......
The peachwood sword in Gu Qingcheng's hand stabbed at the tiger, the tiger's skin was as thick as steel, but how could the peachwood sword stab into it?
The tiger opened its bloody mouth, and was about to devour her, Bai Wufang flew over, and slashed a few fierce tigers in the air, and Gu Qingcheng finally broke away from the tiger's mouth.
Bai Wufang took a group of Yaotai disciples again, slashed the tiger, shot down the guards who shot arrows at the people on the eaves, and dared Xia Wei before flying back to Yaotai with Gu Qingcheng on his back.
A young and beautiful girl in red, but with faintly cunning eyebrows, was waiting for her in Yaotai, looking at her anxiously and said:
"Sister Fluttershy, you're back, Ahri is scared to death."
Oh, it turned out that it wasn't me, but Jade Fluttershy, Gu Qingcheng was stunned.
How could the woman named Ahri with a worried face actually Li Shuang'er who appeared in Linglong Pavilion with An Lingtina?
"Ahri, don't worry, isn't my sister back well." Jade pats Ahri's hand and smiles comfortingly.
"Sister Fluttershy, I've finally found my sister, come and see!" Ahri happily dragged her to the main hall to see someone.
It was a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, and that person was Xia Wei's queen Shi Meixi.
"Sister Fluttershy, this is the sister I've been looking for for years." Ahri happily pulls Fluttershy to the queen in her makeup.
"I've seen the queen." Fluttershy blessed the Queen.
"You're welcome, you're Ahri's sister and my sister." Shi Meixi said to Jade Fluttershy.
Zhuan Yi stroked Ahri's head again, and sighed: "I have been away from Qingqiu for many years, and I don't know what happened to the people of the fox clan? ”
"Sister Xi, we're all fine, but I don't want my brother to think about my sister." Ahri said innocently and lively.
Shi Meixi sighed slightly: "The fox doesn't return? After all these years, he still can't let go? ”
"Yes, why didn't you ignore your brother, but went to Xia Wei's palace, don't you know that the world is scolding you for being a fox and bewitching the Lord, bringing disaster to the country and the people, is it a demon fox?" Ahri was dissatisfied.
Shi Meixi's face was lonely, and before she could answer, Bai Wufang had already walked in.
"Heaven wants to die, and it will make it mad." Bai Wufang said indifferently.
Ahri turned to Bai Wufang: "Divine Venerable, could it be that my sister Xi sister, is it really you who sent it to charm Xia Wei?" ”
"Hmm." Bai Wufang bowed slightly.
"My life was saved by the Divine Venerable, and I should listen to the Divine Venerable in this life." Shi Mei said quietly, looking at the white and flawless eyes full of affection and resentment.
"Xia Wei is cruel and tyrannical, the people are struggling to make a living, as long as he is more brutal and unkind, he can lose the hearts of the people, and the people's hearts will be the day of his destruction." Bai Wufang said.
"Master, this is to do the right thing for heaven." Fluttershy looks at her master with admiration.
After a pause, he was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Xia Wei is cruel and unkind, and he is mad, the master should have killed him just now." ”
"The change of dynasty has its own certainty, and when the Xia Dynasty falls, no one can save it. The time has not yet come, and the master cannot go against the sky. Bai Wufang said.
"That's really cheap that Xia Ji, and let him live for a few days." Fluttershy snorted.
"But I wronged my sister and suffered a lot of stigma, and the deity is here to make amends to my sister." Bai Wufang bowed to Shi Meixi slightly.
"Why should the gods be polite to Meixi, not to mention that they are just stigmatized, even if they go to the soup and go to the fire, for the sake of the gods, Meixi will not hesitate." Shi Mei looked at Bai Wufang with resentment.
"Okay, that sister likes to get together with Ahri, so the deity won't bother you." Bai Wufang said indifferently.
But he didn't look at her resentful eyes, and after saying goodbye to Shi Meixi, he only took Yuxiadie's hand, and said with a gentle smile:
"Fluttershy, Ahri has found her sister, so let's get together and go back to the House of Love. You also said that you want to make food for the teacher? ”
Flawless White grabbed Fluttershy's hand and flew away.
Only the queen Shi Meixi behind her was left in tears at the palace gate, and said to Ahri sadly:
"Ahri, look at the gods, he is so indifferent to his sister, and his sister asks himself about the country, but he has never looked at it squarely.
In an instant, the tenderness in his eyes for his apprentice Fluttershy dripped. ”
Ahri had pity in his eyes: "Sister, it turns out that what you like is the Divine Venerable." ”
"What if you like it, he never took his sister to heart after all." Shi Mei was happy and complained.
"Miss Gu......" Xia He patted her gently beside Gu Tingcheng.
She jumped in shock, why did she have such strange dreams again?
Xia He saw Gu Qingcheng wake up, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu falls asleep in the shade of flowers, and she doesn't cover a thin quilt, even if it's summer, she will catch a cold." ”
“…… Okay, thank you, Sister Xia He. Gu Qingcheng said in a daze.
That Xia Ji turned out to be the face of Tuoba Han, the king of Dongping.
Could it be that he let the tiger hurt people 3,000 years ago, and the sin continues to this day, letting the wolf hurt people?
And Shi Meixi turned out to be the county lord of Liyang, An Lingtina.
That Ahri is that Li Shuang'er.
Are they from the Qingqiu Fox Clan? No wonder Li Shuang'er's fox smell is so serious.
In the dream, Fluttershy and Ahri are like sisters, and what grievances do she have with these people to have these living dreams?
Gu Qingcheng shook his head and shook off the nightmare.
Come to think of it, these are people who have seen and had some impressions every day, and only then will they have these strange nightmares.
