Chapter 29: The Eternal Bird (5)
Regarding the question of Fujiwara Bubi, the two of them tacitly agreed that they did not mention it again in the following days...... To Kaguya, this is just an inconsequential guy, and the so-called Penglai Jade Branch is only the one in her hand in this life, so no matter how much he looks for it, he can't find it, theoretically......
As for Mei Hong, she is probably just an ostrich mentality...... She was not at all willing to choose between Kaguya and her father-sama, who she admired, on the one hand, hoping that Bubi would be able to find the treasure as she wished, but on the other hand, she vaguely did not want him to go so well, and she did not want to mention it at all before that.
After all, compared to anyone else, Mei Hong is more afraid of getting answers...... Because that would mean betrayal to her. At this time, she was already faintly aware that she might be as inextricably attracted to Kaguya as those people, not to the extent that she could be satisfied as long as she stayed by her side, but wanted to take her for herself at all costs......
"As long as Kaguya is always her sister...... It's not someone else's wife, it's not anyone's mother, she just needs to be her own sister. When this idea first germinated in Mei Hong's heart, even she herself was frightened, and then she subconsciously wanted to deny it...... But you can't fool yourself after all, can you?
Such thoughts can no longer be suppressed, but at the same time, Mei Hong remembered that it was not better than waiting...... The father who has always been admired by him, a sense of guilt due to betrayal is tightly intertwined with his own desires, so that Meihong has no idea what to do......
"If we can go on like this......" she prayed in her heart when Mei Hong once again indulged in Kaguya's tenderness...... This year, Meihong is about to turn 16 years old.
The 16-year-old sister Hong has long grown into a slim girl, because of the edification of the night and the sufficient material conditions in the dyed Ye Xuan, so that now she has completely become the ideal noble appearance in the heart of the previous sister Hong, so that even the sisters who once disdained her have long since dared to look directly at her dazzling brilliance, and it is said that recently even His Royal Highness the Prince has to appoint her as a concubine.
But even so, Mei Hong still clearly knows that she is still the same person she was a year ago and has never changed, even if she has become extremely delicate in the mirror now, she can't help but bring the calm elegance of the nobility in her gestures. But in the end, this is just a toddler in Handan...... Sister Hong, she has always been just imitating Kaguya's appearance, because of the longing she once had, and because of the inferiority complex in her heart that has never been erased.
"Well...... It seems that this game is Meihong, you won. Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, Kaguya smiled with some relief and some distress, at this moment, Kaguya, who was holding the sunspot on the chessboard between the two, had been completely forced to a desperate situation, and there was no possibility of turning the tables, "The concubine admits defeat." But Meihong has really made rapid progress recently~~"
"Obviously, my sister let me 5 eyes, isn't it......" said this, but my sister's red face looked quite happy, not because she won Kaguya or anything, it's just that she thinks that if she goes on like this, she will be able to stand side by side with this person sooner or later...... Sister Hong, what she pursues is actually just that.
"You're not right......" Kaguya smiled and re-sorted the chess pieces on the chessboard with Mei Hong, ready to start a new chess game again, but at this moment, with the sound of a knock on the door, the head maid of the Ye Yu family stood outside the door and said unhurriedly, "Miss Kaguya." Mr. Fujiwara has returned from overseas, and he has brought back the Penglai jade branch that you asked to find, and is now waiting for you to meet him in the reception room. ”
The sudden situation made Mei Hong's hand tremble, so that the chess pieces in her hand spilled on the table and made a noisy sound, realizing that she was in a state of confusion, she looked up at Kaguya at a loss, and the latter gave her a reassuring smile...... But at this time, Meihong couldn't rest assured no matter what......
This has happened four times before, and the other four have all returned and brought back what they thought was the right treasure, and then their boring tricks were naturally debunked by Kaguya, and although there was no much irony, all of them had left without exception, and now they were the last ones left......
"It's really a coincidence......" Kaguya sighed slightly in his heart, like this, he didn't even place a greeting post in advance and came to Dye Ye Xuan rashly. It seems that it is better to wait than to be confident in yourself. At the same time, he was probably instigated by the feeling of longing for more than a year...... It's just that Kaguya is completely blind to this.
"Sister Hong and the concubine will go to meet together, speaking of which, the concubine is also very curious about what the Penglai jade branch that your father brought back looks like~~" Walking out of the room, Mengzi naturally stood aside and waited, Kaguya nodded at her slightly, and then was led towards the reception room.
In the reception room, Bubi was sitting quietly, and it was not difficult to see from his vicissitudes of life what kind of suffering he had experienced, and at this moment, Bubi and his slightly trembling little finger seemed to announce that he didn't seem to want to be as calm as his face showed in his heart.
Ye Yu, who was sitting opposite him, drank tea slowly, and he was not interested in talking to him at all, and I believe that the other party was the same. Moreover, compared to the fake that was bound to be exposed, Ye Yu was more concerned about the problems afterward. For example, the upcoming Yonglin and how to deal with Mei Hong in the future, etc., seeing that Hui Ye and Mei Hong are now in a state like they are in love, Ye Yu can hardly imagine how Mei Hong will react when Hui Ye decides to leave.
Speaking of course. If Kaguya clearly refuses to be equal this time, maybe there will be an irrepressible rift between her and Mei Hong...... In any case, he has always been Meihong's most admired father, and judging from his appearance, he has obviously suffered a lot...... People who don't get rewarded for their efforts. It's always the most sympathetic, isn't it? And combined with what happened to those guys before, the saying that "Kaguya Ji is not close to people" will probably be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"It's rude," Kaguya, who had belatedly outside the door, politely confessed his guilt and opened the door, "Father, there is still ...... Mr. Fujiwara. Walking into the house, she saluted the two of them one after another, and then sat beside Ye Yu in a proper manner. And Mei Hong, who was behind her, also greeted the two, but she sat on the side of the incomparable.
"Sister Hong...... Is it? "I was stunned when I saw my daughter for a long time, the change in my sister was too great, if it wasn't for the vague glimpse of the previous shadow from her body, I couldn't be sure that the lady in front of me was the girl he had never paid much attention to.
Of course, what surprised him the most was why Meihong was also here. And it seems that she has a good relationship with the owner of this house...... You must know that Kaguyahime, who is like a kaolin flower, is notoriously difficult to get close to, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort looking for any Penglai jade branches.
Besides, the fact that Someha Xuan alone is enough to prove the size of the Kaguya family, and being able to be related to such a big family is of great significance to both him and the entire Fujiwara family. Obviously, even Kaguya's problem hasn't been solved yet, but after seeing Mei Hong, Bubi still subconsciously thought of a lot...... I have to say that he is indeed a scheming guy.
"It's me, Father......" Mei Hong lowered her head at Bu Bi Wait, and she also saw her father's miserable appearance at this moment, which even made her a little suspicious...... Is it really worth paying so much to get Kaguya's favor?
"You've grown up." Bubi's tone was a little melancholy, as if he was lamenting the more than a year that had passed......
Kaguya on the side of "cough" coughed a little unnaturally, and she was a little unhappy with the deep love between father and daughter. For Mei Hong, her respect for incomparable is naturally from the heart, but what about incomparable? After all, this daughter is not as important as he is showing now, otherwise with the strength of his Fujiwara family, how could he make Mei Hong, who is a noble lady, hungry......
"Okay, Mr. Fujiwara, you and Meihong's reminiscence can be done later. If you can...... Can you let the concubine take a look at the Penglai jade branch you brought back? (To be continued.) )
PS: If you are okay, you can go to the sign-in building to sign in, if there are more buildings, I will add more...... But no water!
