Chapter Twenty-Nine: Counting is Counting
Hua Yingmei looked at Qiu'er on the ground in a daze, and her heart was full of warmth.
She grabbed Qiu'er and shouted with a cold expression: "If you want to become stronger, don't cry easily, don't bend your waist easily, don't bend your knees easily." Men have gold under their knees, and how are we different from them. ā
"Qiu'er, remember, the only people in the world who are worthy of your kneeling are your parents." Even heaven and earth are excluded, let alone the so-called emperor of the true dragon emperor, her remarks are completely disrespectful.
"Flower Shadow Charm." Ouyang Lingyue reminded loudly, there are not only them here, but also Qian Yuyang, who is the prince, she said this, isn't she afraid of the nine clans?
Afraid, how can the Flower Shadow Charm be afraid, she has long since lost the Nine Clans, and in this world, except for Qiu'er, those so-called relatives in the bloodline flowing very close to her body, she wishes they died early.
If they all died because of her, she would have loved to see that.
The determination in her eyes was too cold, and Ouyang Lingyue suddenly realized that her hatred for Huafu had reached the point of immortality, and she would want to let them all fall into hell.
He didn't care about the life or death of anyone in Huafu, but he didn't want to see her like she didn't care about her life.
"There are no Seven Princes here now, only Qian Yuyang." Qian Yuyang should have been angry, angry at her contempt for her father, but he couldn't get angry, why wasn't he cold because of his disgust with imperial power and the struggle between his brothers for that throne, so he hadn't returned to Kyoto for many years and lived happily in the so-called rivers and lakes.
He stood in front of her, far away from the deceit of Kyoto, just as a friend, without any status.
"Miss, I won't cry easily, I won't bend down easily, I won't kneel easily, I want to become stronger, even if I can't protect Miss, I will never become a burden to Miss." Qiu'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, the soil on her hands stained with tears, staining her face, but she couldn't stop her firm and persistent gaze.
Ouyang Lingyue set her eyes on this girl named Qiu'er for the first time, it was undeniable that she was weak and useless, but her loyalty to the Flower Shadow Charm was enough to support her soft body, and the Flower Shadow Charm seemed to have a kind of magic on her body, a kind of magic that made people surrender and follow.
"Qian Yuyang, aren't you already gone?" Hua Yingmei gently wiped the soil on Qiu'er's face, and turned her head to look at Qian Yuyang who walked over.
Thinking of what happened before, a flash of evil flashed in Qian Yuyang's eyes, and he said, "I was ambushed when I went back, and what makes me strange is that they said a word before they were killed by my secret guard. ā
"What?" Flower Shadow asked.
"We've been deceived!"
Five words, but it fully shows that these killers don't know his true identity.
"Qian Yuyang, did Xiao Shami say that you were the one who saved me?" The topic of the instant transfer of the Flower Shadow Charm made Qian Yuyang slightly stunned, and Ouyang Lingyue heard her question, but the corners of her mouth raised a faint smile, she was really smart, and she immediately thought of the key to the matter.
"Nope." Qian Yuyang is secretly returning to Beijing this time, if he lets his father know that he arrived in Kyoto but does not return to the palace, he has to reprimand him, and his brothers, hehe. If they knew, then these killers who came would probably have been sent by them.
Sure enough, a cold glow flashed in the eyes of the flower shadow, Zhao Yanran, since you don't want me to go back now, then I will do what you want.
..........
At the gate of Kyoto City, the Queen Mother returned to the court, hundreds of officials knelt to welcome, the emperor personally welcomed the Queen Mother back to the palace, all the way, the people bowed, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the guards with knives were protected on both sides, and the big knives on the waist rubbed against the armor, making a clicking metal sound.
"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the court."
"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the court."
"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the court."
The sound was deafening, and it was passed on one after another, like a wave.
"The son welcomes the queen mother's return to the court." On the Jinluan Palace, Qian Aolin stood in front of the dragon chair, bowed to the Queen Mother who was sitting on a high seat, and then said to the civil and military officials below in high spirits: "Tomorrow will be held to welcome the Queen Mother's return to the court, and all Aiqing must instruct the family to prepare well to face Fengyan." ā
"Long live my emperor, long live the Queen Mother." The civil and military officials knocked on Longen.
"The Qing's family is flat." Qian Aolin sat on the dragon chair and waved his dragon sleeves.
"Your Majesty." The hundred officials got up, bowed their heads respectfully, and did not dare to look directly at the face of the heavenly family.
"Hua Junyang." In the high position, the Queen Mother spoke for the first time, her eyes passed through everyone, and fell on Hua Junyang's body.
"Queen Mother." Hua Junyang came out of the ranks, bent down and clenched his fists, and respectfully waited for the hearing of the Queen Mother.
"Shadow Charm, that kid is good." Speaking of the Flower Shadow Phantom, a soft light flashed in the Queen Mother's majestic eyes, and even her voice lacked a trace of sternness.
Qian Aolin looked down at Hua Junyang, he couldn't see any emotion in his deep eyes, but his hand hanging under his sleeve was holding the dragon chair tightly, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were rising, Flower Shadow Charm, Flower Shadow Charm, Queen Mother, are you really distressed about Flower Shadow Charm, or do you want to see someone through her!
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Mei'er is very good, I heard that the Queen Mother returned to the court, Mei'er went to the Buddha Temple to pray for the Queen Mother's blessing, in order to ask the Queen Mother for her health." Don't look at Hua Junyang as a military general, but his mind turned sharply, and one sentence made the Queen Mother like Hua Ying Charm even more.
It's just that the years have passed, and now the flower shadow ghost is no longer the smart and witty little doll who was protected by the queen mother in her arms, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment when she saw the real person, Hua Junyang didn't believe it, when the queen mother knew the virtue of the flower shadow ghost, she would be so favored now.
"Okay, that's a good boy." The Queen Mother couldn't help but praise with a smile in her eyes, "General Hua, you must bring Mei'er tomorrow, I want to take a good look at that child." ā
"Wechen obeys."
Queen Mother, I hope you will not be disappointed when you meet her in person.
......
"Miss hasn't come back yet?" When Hua Junyang returned to Huafu, the first thing he did was to ask Hua Yingmei, and when he learned that she still hadn't returned, he couldn't help but raise his tone.
A touch of resentment flashed in Zhao Yanran's eyes, and when she laughed, it was already submerged in her eyes, she brought the tea to Hua Junyang, made a small bow, and whispered softly: "Xu is because the eldest lady is injured, so the guards don't dare to hurry up, don't worry, master." ā
Hua Junyang nodded, took a sip of the tea handed by Zhao Yanran, and the fragrance wafting in his nose made him can't help but take a sip.
It's so fragrant~
Hua Junyang's mouth was dry for a while, he looked up, the Ying Ying Chun wave in Zhao Yanran's eyes made his throat tighten, and the hand she put on his back seemed to be on fire, burning his skin.
Holding Zhao Yanran in his arms and walking to the bedroom, Hua Junyang had already left the life and death of Hua Yingmei behind.
The tea cup is lonely on the table in the outer room, and the beautiful smell wafts through every corner of the room with the fragrance of tea.
The next day, Hua Junyang returned early and found that the entire mansion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, which seemed to be a little dignified and a little mocking.
"Sir." Zhao Yanran wanted to speak and stopped, the words were all on her lips, she wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.
Hua Junyang's brows furrowed, the uneasiness in his heart lingered, and he scolded in a deep voice: "What's the matter, say it quickly!" ā
"Miss, Miss, she's eloped with someone!" Zhao Yanran looked panicked, grabbed Hua Junyang's sleeve with her hand, and asked: "Master, what can I do, today is the Queen Mother's banquet, what should I do if the Queen Mother asks." ā
"Elopement with someone!" Hua Junyang's tightly clenched palm bone joints clicked, and his gloomy face could drip water, these four words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Is the news true?" He asked.
Zhao Yanran sighed and said angrily: "Master, I didn't believe it originally, but those guards were convincing in their words, I, I don't dare not believe it." ā
Hua Junyang slapped the table suddenly, shook the tea cup on the table, and spilled a few drops of tea, he just thought that Hua Ying was a cowardly straw bag, whenever she was so shameless, if the Queen Mother knew, he would only blame him for doing this, his father was not strict in discipline, taught the child badly, and even made excuses for her.
If this matter spreads, their Huafu will become the object of people's after-dinner pastime.
No, we must not let this get out.
"Look, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to get her back for me." Hua Junyang already had a plan in his heart, and ordered in a serious tone: "Yanran, this matter must be carried out in secret, don't make a noise, if you can't find it before the banquet, then it is said that Hua Ying Phantom is seriously ill and should not move around." ā
A flip-flop.
It's okay no matter what, but she can't be found out that she eloped with someone.
"Yes, sir." Zhao Yanran agreed, but her slightly drooping eyes flashed a sharp and cold frost, and she couldn't say anything? He~ Master, you said it's late, I'm afraid that in a while, the whole of Kyoto will know that the flower shadow ghost eloped with someone, even if the flower house finds an excuse to prevaricate, this gossip will fly all over the sky with wings.
Flower Shadow Charm, it's good if you die, if you don't die, when you come back, you're just a lost lady, even if you have the Queen Mother to support you, you won't be able to live well for the rest of your life!
The royal feast arrived as scheduled.
The splendid and magnificent palace, the lifelike dragon statue on the highest eaves is like a cloud in the sun.
A splendid carriage stopped outside the palace, and the ladies and ladies of the various provinces in full costume stepped out of the carriage and gazed at the magnificent building in front of them.
"Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Qiā"
The ladies of the various mansions greeted her kindly, but when they arrived at Zhao Yanran, everyone skipped it directly, not that they looked down on their aunt, but if they called her Mrs., it would be too much to exalt her, even if General Hua was pampering her, and there was no emperor to spit out, she didn't want to become a flat wife.
Zhao Yanran is not annoyed by everyone's attitude, but thinks that one day you will catch up with me!
Madam, she will become a real lady, and her woman will also become the concubine of the General's Mansion, and become the most prestigious lady in this Hengnan country.
Soon, the day won't be too far away.
