Chapter 120: Young Sorrow

A little starlight reflects the moonlight, and the bright moonlight sprinkles on the whole land, gentle as water, and the void seems to be hazy with a faint veil. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe night is quiet, lying on the soft thatched roof, there will be a fresh breeze, like a soft finger touching the cheek.

Xu Sheng looked at the starry sky, his bright eyes revealed a trace of gloom and sadness, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he had never noticed, as if he was recalling a certain cheerful and sad past.

"Do you want wine, I have the imperial wine brought out of the palace!" Qi Ruoyan's voice was crisp, as comfortable as the night breeze.

"Ah, why do you ask me for wine?" Xu Sheng was puzzled, sat up and looked down at Qi Ruoyan.

The roof was not high, Qi Ruoyan jumped lightly, stood on the roof like a light swallow, her long hair fluttering, and said, "Didn't you say, borrow wine to kill your sorrows?"

Xu Sheng laughed and said, "Yes, borrow wine to kill your sorrows." Unfortunately, I don't know how to drink. Then he lay down again, looked at the distant stars, and said, "When I was young, I liked to lie alone on the roof and look at the starry sky, sometimes one trip was one night, and the next day I slept until the birds fell on my forehead and woke up." ”

"Didn't anyone urge you to practice?" Qi Ruoyan followed Xu Sheng's gaze and looked at the starry sky, her head was slightly raised and she looked very beautiful, her long hair was draped, with a faint fragrance.

"I didn't have a moment off when I was a kid because the competition for royalty was so fierce. Qi Ruoyan added.

"I know. "Xu Shengdao" The competition in every place will be fierce, but it's a pity~~ Or fortunately, I was just a waste in their eyes during that time, and I was not taken seriously. ”

Thinking back on the bitterness of those years, Xu Sheng actually smiled to himself.

"You can be considered a wasted person?'s incredible!" Qi Ruoyan looked at him with slight surprise, remembering the light released by the Destiny Stone last night, and still couldn't believe it.

"My childhood was full of poignant, sarcasm, and forbearance. It's hard to get through the end, but I was messed up by myself. Unlike you, who are regarded as treasures. Xu Sheng sighed.

"Regarded as a treasure?" Qi Ruoyan smiled at the corner of her mouth, laughing at Xu Sheng's ignorance, she lay down regardless of her identity, looked up at the bright starry sky, paused for a moment and said, "The royal family seems to be majestic and prominent, high above. In fact, it is like a slaughterhouse, where the strong survive and the inferior are eliminated. ”

"Did you know? The royal family of the Qi Kingdom controls a strange stone called the Destiny Stone. Just dripping an individual's blood on the Destiny Stone can predict the person's talent and achievements. Therefore, the Qi State has been testing the royal children in this way since ancient times, and the fate of those real princes and princesses in this life may be changed by this stone. Qi Ruoyan said slowly.

"Destiny Stone?" Xu Sheng looked sideways at Qi Ruoyan who was lying next to her, her eyelashes were slender, her skin was delicate, the bridge of her nose was straight, and her eyes looked at the starry sky, almost reflecting the shadows of many stars.

"My father was a prince. The younger brother of the saint today, so I was crowned the princess by the emperor. And my mother was a princess of the dead country, and I also had an aunt who was the eldest princess, and they were brought into the palace at the same time, and the aunt became the emperor's concubine, and my mother became the prince's concubine. The battle in the harem was far more tragic than that in the prince's palace. So much so that my mother took her seat two years later and became pregnant with me, while my aunt did not conceive a dragon until I was five years old in the battle of the harem concubines. Before that, whenever my mother took me into the palace to see my aunt, I could see the tears in my aunt's eyes, although I didn't understand the deep meaning of the conversation at that time, but most of it was about the darkness in the palace. My aunt was almost poisoned in the fifth month after she became pregnant with the prince, and if it wasn't for the timely treatment of the imperial doctor, she might have lost her life. After that, my aunt was allowed to be transferred to my house to raise the baby, and during those four months I often saw my mother talking and laughing with my aunt, and the most my aunt said was that after the prince was born, she would have a good life, and she could no longer bear the kind of heart-to-heart fight, and she said that if she continued like this, she would go crazy. But I didn't find out until the child was born~~~"

"Not a boy?" Xu Sheng couldn't help but interrupt.

"Nope. It's a little prince. It's cute, chubby~~" Qi Ruoyan was still looking at the starry sky, her expression became cold, and her expression became solemn. continued, "When everyone was happy, my aunt tested the prince with the Destiny Stone, and found that the Destiny Stone did not have a trace of brilliance, which means that he will be a mediocre person in the future. ”

"What about mediocrity?~~~~" Xu Sheng couldn't wait to know the result.

"Later, I was playing with paper boats by the pool, and I saw my aunt walking to the lotus pond in the distance with her newborn child in her arms and throwing the child down. Qi Ruoyan's voice trembled slightly, and the picture of that day still seemed to be clearly imprinted in her mind, which became a shadow that she couldn't erase.

"My aunt left the baby and left, not knowing why there was no one by the pool that day. As I walked over, I saw a baby with thinning hair in an infant with wide eyes, crying and choking on water, and waving its arms. He was just a newborn baby, who was fated by a stone, and sank crying in the water, but was not rescued in the end. Qi Ruoyan said about the past of her childhood, which was her shadow, and she was only five or six years old at that time.

"Why?" Xu Sheng was also shocked, that was her child, why was it so cruel.

Hearing Xu Sheng's question, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Qi Ruoyan's mouth, which was a kind of mockery and helplessness. She explained, "A harem is no different from a slaughterhouse, and the battle of three thousand beauties never stops. When it is difficult to return to the sky, he will pin all his hopes on the heirs, and once a concubine is pregnant with the dragon seed, he will be targeted by other concubines, and he is in danger of dying at all times. My aunt's explanation at that time was that the little prince was not a dragon and phoenix among people, and he could not be favored by the emperor, so it was better to end his life early and avoid suffering in the future than to let his mother and son suffer humiliation in the palace. The aunt and mother finally covered up the news, and what reached the palace was a difficult labor and hemorrhage, and the prince died early. Unfortunately, my aunt became insane after returning to the palace, and two months later she also committed suicide by jumping into the pool. Qi Ruoyan sighed lightly after speaking.

"A stone determines a person's fate?" Xu Sheng shook his head, if he was unwilling, no matter how mediocre he was, he would break through.

"There are ten princes and thirteen princesses. Coupled with the county lord and others, the younger generation of the royal family is not calm in the fight. Even if it is good enough, in the end, it is not a sentence that is destined by people. Qi Ruoyan's eyes were full of helplessness and unwillingness, and she sighed lightly and said, "In fact, I have a marriage contract, and I am a young man from your Xu family who was gifted by the emperor. ”

Qi Ruoyan, as a royal daughter, is sought after by tens of thousands of people on weekdays, noble and elegant, and has a royal demeanor in her manners, what Xu Sheng didn't expect was that there was such a bitter side behind such a woman.

"Who is the young man of the Xu family?" asked Xu Sheng.

"Who knows. Qi Ruoyan shook her head, she didn't even know what the other party's name was.

"It's too hasty, it's such a hasty event in life!" Xu Sheng was puzzled, and at the same time felt angry for Qi Ruoyan.

"The emperor's order cannot be done. Qi Ruoyan only said these five words.

"It's not impossible, you just need to find a good person to marry. Or I'll help you kill that person and solve it!" Xu Sheng said with a bad idea.

"Hehe~~~" Qi Ruoyan was amused and said, "This is not your style." ”

"Do you mean killing?" Xu Shengdao "I really don't like to kill, but now that my sword has been opened, some people have to kill~~~"

"I think~~ Your past is not much better than mine!" Qi Ruoyan shook her head with a smile.

The breeze blows, a man and a woman lie on the soft roof and look up at the starry sky, the night sky is beautiful, a little starry shining, colorful. Before you know it, the night is deep, and the two of them lie on the roof, forgetting the time to chat, talking about the past, talking about the future, there are laughter, there are also sighs of bitterness. No one thought that a generation of royal daughters would have such a past, and no one would have thought that there would be a starry night, she would lie on the broken thatched house, look up at the starry sky, feel the breeze, and learn from the young man next to her to put his hands under his head, and chat openly about the words in his heart.

The stars were so thick that in fact it wasn't just the two of them looking up at the night sky. In another room, the window was open, and there was a bed by the window, and an old turtle held the aged wine in his hand, leaned against the window, poked his head out of the window, stared at the starry sky for a long time, shook his head and said to himself, "The young man doesn't know what it feels like to be sad, and he is worried about the new words." ”

The place was very peaceful, with only a gentle breeze and the whole clan went to sleep. However, in the more remote place, there were two mountains opposite, and the two mountains were not very high, only one or two hundred meters, and the towering trees were much higher than them.

And it was a powerful and fierce aura coming from between these two mountains, the power of the seal was spreading, and at the same time, there was a terrible black mist spreading, as if it was about to get out of the trap.

This is an empty valley, and the walls of the mountains on both sides are carved with strange words, these ancient words are full of old breath, some are vigorous and powerful, some are dignified and majestic, although you can't understand the meaning, you can feel the majesty.

In the valley is the realm of the fairy clan, there is a huge round platform, the diameter reaches 100 meters, there are four stone statues built in all directions, all of them are carefully carved, lifelike, each stone statue is in a different posture, but all are majestic and majestic, the momentum is like a rainbow, and they all hold a thick black iron chain in their hands, and the other end is connected to a huge round platform.

The stone statue is nearly 100 meters high, and there is a fairy master standing on the top of their heads or on the crown and hat, they are dazzling, their hair is fluttering, their hands are quickly sealed, and a thick black mist rises from under the round platform, the mist is rolling, has spread to the waist of the stone statue, and there is a scalp-numbing aura underneath the impact, which may break through the ground at any time.
