Hua Shu tore off her turban, looked at the jade pendant in her hand in surprise and said, "Taoyuan's token? Why did Yan'er give me this? ”

Hua Yan smiled: "Why is my sister so panicked? This token sister must be taken away from her, and must not be taken away. This token can be very useful. ”

"I just thought you had done something dangerous to keep this token with me." After Hua Shu finished speaking, she calmed down a little and asked again, "What does this token do?" ”

Hua Yan said: "Those who get this token can order all the righteous people in Taoyuan, and even throw this token to the rivers and lakes, and all the people in the rivers and lakes will let you go." Sister, you see, the pattern of the flower engraved on this token is the uniqueness of this token. And this pattern is the same as the pattern on my jade flute. Does my sister recognize this flower? ”

Hua Shu looked carefully at the jade pendant in her hand, shook her head and said, "I have never seen it, what kind of flower is it?" ”

Huayan showed the pattern on the jade flute to her sister and said, "It's the flower on the other side." ”

"The other side of the flower? But why don't there be any leaves on this branch? Xin Qiao on the side also asked curiously.

Hua Yan nodded and said: "It is recorded in ancient books that the flower on the other side is only born on the cliff of hell, and it is rare to encounter it in a hundred years. When the flowers fall, the leaves grow, and the flowers and leaves can never meet. Legend has it that although this flower is highly poisonous, it can also save lives. It's gorgeous. At that time, when my father-in-law and my masters planned to revive the Xuanfeng Hall, we were afraid that it would be difficult to manage the number of people in the future, and in order to make it easier for people in this sect to know each other, I made this logo, and this flower was engraved on the token as a logo, and it was also because the world did not know it, so as to prevent counterfeiting. Of course, only the backbone of Taoyuan has the secondary token. ”

Xin Qiao took the jade pendant over in surprise and looked at it carefully, opened her eyes and exclaimed: "It turns out that this jade pendant has such a magical story!" ”

Huayan instructed: "Our Taoyuan brothers are all over the world. If your sister is in trouble in the future, you can also show this token, and no one will dare to embarrass you anymore. ”

Hua Shu nodded with satisfaction and smiled helplessly: "I'm just a woman, and I won't be able to get out of this gate in the future." It's hard to use. ”

Hua Yan held Hua Shu's hand tightly and said, "Sister, don't be discouraged, if my sister is bored here in the future, I will take my sister out of here at any time." She turned to Xinqiao again and said, "Xinqiao, you put away the jade pendant for your sister in case of emergency." If anyone in this house bullies my sister, come and tell me immediately. You know? ”

Xin Qiao nodded vigorously and said, "Miss, don't worry! ”

Huayan wanted to say something, but when he heard footsteps in the distance, he didn't say anything anymore, and leaned over to the door to take a look, "Sister, I have to go." ”

Huashu stood up, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she wanted to step forward to see her off, but her steps lost strength due to sadness.

Holding back tears, she smiled at her sister and left the room. Before the two girls came back, they quickly walked to the dark, and Huayan was sad for a while, and carelessly let them notice the movement. One of them caught up and shouted, "Who's there?" If you don't come out again, I'll call someone! ”

Huayan didn't have time to go far, so he had to stop. She was trying to figure out how to explain it, when she saw a person walking next to her. When the person came to the light, he realized that this person was Princess Yuzhang. Huayan wanted to worship, but how did Princess Yuzhang ignore her directly and pass by.

"This princess is playing in the royal brother's mansion, does it have to be approved by your little hoof?" Princess Yuzhang glared at the girl with a pair of round eyes and said.

The girl hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a panic: "The slave and maid don't know that the princess is coming, the slave and maid should die, the princess forgive the slave and maid!" ”

Seeing this situation, Hua Yan understood that Princess Yuzhang was helping her cover up, her eyes straightened, and she couldn't speak in surprise.

"That's it, today is the day of the emperor's brother's big day, this princess will spare you this time, you can be careful in the future!" After Princess Yuzhang finished speaking, she glanced back at Huayan, and then walked to the other side, saying at the same time, "Let's go." ”

Huayan understood the meaning and silently followed behind Princess Yuzhang's group of girls. When there was no one, Princess Yuzhang ordered the girl to retreat and talk to her alone: "What were you doing there just now?" ”

Hua Yan raised his head in surprise and said with a smile: "You don't know what I'm doing, so you help me cover up?" ”

With a curious look, Princess Yuzhang stepped forward and asked, "Is there anyone who is going to be unlucky?" ”

After hearing this, Hua Yan shook his head speechlessly, "You think I'm as naughty as you, I heard that you're about to overturn the palace recently, right?" ”

Princess Yuzhang felt embarrassed by what she said, and put on a noble appearance and said, "You! How did you talk to Princess Ben? I don't know the rules! ”

"People are small and big!" Huayan smiled secretly in his heart, and said flatteringly on his face: "The princess is angry, and the courtiers are speechless." The courtiers were just bored and just walking around. ”

"Oh......" Princess Yuzhang seemed slightly disappointed.

Huayan had to please her and said: "If the princess doesn't dislike it, the courtier will dedicate a kite to the princess another day to make amends." ”

Princess Yuzhang regained her vigor and asked curiously, "What is a kite?" ”

Hua Yan said mysteriously: "As long as it uses the power of a rope, it can soar through the clouds." ”

Princess Yuzhang jumped up happily and cheered: "Give it to me, let me see!" ”

Huayan waved his hand and said, "What's the hurry, this kite kung fu work has to be careful." Not now. The princess was relieved, and the courtiers did a good job, so she quickly sent it to the princess. ”

Princess Yuzhang had no choice but to give up and asked her to finish it as soon as possible. Although the two have only met once, they get along very well, and they themselves can't say why. Perhaps their preference for free and uninhibited personalities has brought them together.

Then Huayan said goodbye to Princess Yuzhang and walked alone on the way back to the banquet. On the way, I met two girls walking towards me with a tray full of snacks and wine, and the painting quickly flashed into the dark.

I only heard one of the girls say, "Oh no, I was so focused on getting the wine that I forgot to take the wine glass!" ”

Another girl said, "I'm waiting for it, I'm forgetting something at this juncture!" She pointed to the stone pier not far from her, and said, "Well, you put the wine here first, and then go back and get it." I'll serve the snacks first, or we'll be scolded while we both wait! ”

"But no one will take the wine here, right?"

"It's so dark here, who can see it when you pass by? Besides, outsiders in the backyard of the palace are not allowed to enter easily, you are still grinding here, why don't you go quickly! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go!"

Hua Yan heard the footsteps of the two people walking away, quietly appeared, walked to the place where the maid had just hidden the wine, and searched for a pot of wine. She opened the wine, sniffed it, and gloated:

"Well, it's not bad. It just so happened that this girl was not in a good mood, and this wine came just in time. She looked around for a clean place to drink, and when she saw a low tree beside her, she leaped up.

After a while, a cry came from under the tree, and the half-dreaming painting woke up. The sudden sobbing sound of the woman really shocked the hair of the painting to stand up, especially in such a dark place. She quietly turned her head to look down, and suddenly rolled her eyes. It's Lin Yunrou again, how can you meet her anywhere.

A man's voice sounded next to him: "Miss Lin, why are you crying so sadly?" ”

Lin Yunrou said: "The little girl remembered her father before she was born, so she didn't hold back. ”

"Which beetle to fish again!" He smiled and listened to his conversation with interest while drinking.

"Girl, please mourn, if you need any help, just say it."

The little woman thanked her first. It's all my fault, my father was not stained with the dust of the world when he was alive, but now I have to make a living as an artist, and my father is there, and he doesn't know how to scold me. After that, there was another burst of crying.

The man comforted softly, "As long as the girl wants to change the status quo at any time, she can come to this king." ”

"Could it be that Liu Che'er is talking to her?" Hua Yan half sat up and wanted to take a closer look at the two of them, but he was dizzy and couldn't see anything clearly, so he had to give up. Thinking that Liu Che'er has a close relationship with Lin Yunrou on weekdays, he is sure that it is him. Hua Yan suddenly lost his interest in watching the excitement, turned around and jumped down gently, and quietly left.

"Are you drunk?" A dashing figure blocked the front of the painted face.

Huayan half-squinted, looked up, and it turned out to be Xiao Minglang. She said lightly, "It's you!" Why are you here? ”

Xiao Minglang hurriedly held his face backwards and said with concern: "The banquet has not yet dispersed, can you still hold it?" ”

Huayan pushed away Xiao Minglang's hand, staggered forward, waved his hand absently and said, "I'm not drunk, you're busy with you." ”

"Oops! Who took my wine! A cacophony rang out from behind.

Xiao Minglang hurriedly pulled the painting back, grabbed her waist, and jumped to the other side.

Huayan said half-asleep: "Where are you taking me?" ”

"Decanting." Xiao Minglang said, and took her to a roof.

A cool breeze blew half of the drunkenness of the painting away, she looked around, under the starry moonlight sky, thousands of lights were displayed, and the quiet flowing water was as quiet as silver, so that she couldn't help but exclaim: "What a beautiful night!" ”

Xiao Minglang lay on the side and looked at her with a light smile.

She was overjoyed just now, but suddenly changed her melancholy expression, and said to Xiao Minglang: "Have you ever been to the zoo?" ”

Xiao Minglang shook his head and asked, "I've never heard of this place, which region does it belong to?" ”

When he heard this, he lowered his head and smiled, and said, "It is indeed a city, but it is exclusive to animals." It is a cage for animals in captivity. The cage was bigger than usual, even bigger than our house. ”

"What's so magical?" Xiao Minglang asked.

Hua Yan smiled and said, "All the fierce things have gathered there. But they were all locked in an iron cage, and their sharp claws were removed, just for people to enjoy, and they were confined here for the rest of their lives. At the last sentence, the look on her face darkened even more.

Xiao Minglang understood her mind and stopped asking.

After a long time, Hua Yan turned to him and asked, "If you had never come to the capital, if you no longer had contact with the royal family, what kind of life would you live?" ”

Xiao Minglang lowered his head and thought about it, and said, "I will be a mountain village noman." ”

Huayan laughed for a while, "I guessed right." ”

"What about you, if you weren't the daughter of a painter, where would you go?" Xiao Minglang looked at her quietly and asked rhetorically.

Huayan didn't want to think about it, pointed to the distance, and smiled lightly, "Jianghu!" ”

Xiao Minglang looked in the direction she was pointing, and when he looked back, there was no trace of the painting face, only to hear a voice sounding in the darkness downstairs, "There is still half a pot of wine left for you, farewell!" ”
