Chapter 114: Mother
"Ayan."
Li Yuzhen screamed softly.
Xiao Yan didn't respond, her eyelids drooped, sinking into the thoughts of martial arts, she had already entered the confusion, her eyes, ears, mouth, nose, tongue and touch were all closed, only the Lingtai was not ignorant, and she did not react to the things around her. Princess Jinyang's light call, she didn't hear it at all.
This concentration is the best state of enlightenment, because the mind is completely concentrated; But this state is also very dangerous, because the sense of consciousness is closed, if you are attacked, you will only wake up at the moment when you are hurting and your body, usually in an ashram or a safe environment, or with the protection of a trusted person, you will enter this kind of meditation, of course, if you enter the epiphany, you can't do it, who let the epiphany come at the wrong time?
Xiao Yan was able to enter the confusion at this moment, indicating that she thought from the bottom of her heart that "Princess Jinyang is safe and can be trusted" - this made Li Yuzhen's mood extremely good, and her thin ice eyes seemed to melt water, rippling out.
She called softly again: "Ah Yan." "The cool and flawless sound quality is as smooth as silky fingers because of affection.
But Xiao Yan's hearing was closed, and he couldn't feel the soft entanglement in this pleasant voice.
The corners of Li Yuzhen's lips hooked, his head turned to the side, and his lips were attached to Xiao Yan's jade-like earlobes, and his lips touched lightly, and then he stretched out the tip of his pink tongue and licked it.
Xiao Yan trembled, but it was a sensitive reaction of the body out of instinct, and this kind of licking was far from reaching the "dangerous" Cheng DΓΉ judged by the body, and the touch was still closed.
Li Yuzhen's eyes flashed with cunning, his head leaned forward, and the glossy Dan lips fell on Xiao Yan's lips like feathers, but the lip flaps touched lightly, and then kissed lightly, licked the tip of his tongue, and outlined the soft lips like petals...... She was breathing slightly, trying to go deeper, opening her lips and intertwining them with her tongue...... What should that be, what does it feel like?
Li Yuzhen felt that his throat was slightly tight, and his lips and tongue were a little dry.
Sure enough, because of love, desire arises, and blind date with β‘β‘ skin can make people give birth to such a wonderful taste and desire; It wasn't at all the first two times she touched Xiao Yan's lips with a flirtatious mood, at that time, she only felt soft and soft, and there was no other feeling, not to mention any lightning and thunder, her brain was split by white light, and her abdomen was hot, etc., all of which were gone.
At this moment, she is not like thunder, numb or something, but there is a strange restlessness - of course she understands what this is: even if she is not in her twenties, but she is no stranger to this matter, the children of the royal family will receive the "Spring Palace" education from the age of fifteen, she is looking at the most beautifully depicted Spring Palace, the movements and expressions of the characters are lifelike, it is the "Royal Spring Map" given by the sage, but it is nothing more than this after understanding this matter, she claims that she is not a person who loves beauty and is greedy for joy, but this will give birth to the ** who wants to linger with this person.
Li Yuzhen restrained his **.
Before she wasn't sure how deep her heart was for Xiao Yan, Li Yuzhen didn't want to indulge her **.
Moreover, disturbing others is bound to be struck by lightning - Her Royal Highness the princess ridiculed herself.
She got up with a smile on her lips, bent down and leaned down to touch Xiao Yan's red lips lightly, and returned to the court hall through the back door - the footsteps of the generals downstairs in the palace were already near.
She kissed Xiao Yan but didn't feel that she was "taking advantage of people's danger" to take advantage of Xiao Yan, the skin-to-skin kiss is mutual, and she is no worse than Xiao Yan, is it possible that Xiao Yan suffers from a blind date with her lips?
Therefore, Her Royal Highness the princess is at ease, without a trace of guilt, and there is a smile on her lips when she listens to the generals' affairs in the court, which makes people feel that Her Royal Highness the princess is in a very good mood - this is for sure, the army has occupied some cities, the Tubo Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty has been working for a hundred years, removing a major border trouble, how can you not be happy?
The generals are also very happy, this is the merit of destroying the country, the first class of military merit, how many years have there been no such feats?!
The discussion in the main hall was pleasant, and the various armies successively reported the results of the battle and asked for instructions on the matters to be decided, but Li Yuzhen only said that the policy was outlined, and the specific discussion and arrangement were made by the military account. She shared a trace of her consciousness in the side hall, and Xiao Yan woke up from her meditation, and received her transmission: [Ah Yan, you have some tea in the side hall, and when the discussion is over, go back to the camp with your father and General Xiao Qi. γ
Xiao Yan replied "yes", which was more convenient for her. According to the military regulations, after she returned to the army, she first had to go to the Chinese military tent to report to Xiao Yu and return to the camp, if she went back with Xiao Yu, she would save this step, and report to Xu Duwei directly after returning to the eleventh battalion.
Xiao Yan licked her lips, always feeling a little strange, but she didn't think much about itβit was impossible to think that the princess kissed her.
Li Yuzhen's divine sense, which had not yet been withdrawn, "saw" her action, her heart fluttered, and the tip of her tongue licked lightly, as if she still had that soft and incredible feeling, but her expression was still the kind of casual appearance that was as light as a weight, and she did not show any unusual expression.
The hall was discussed for an hour, and the generals came out.
Xiao Yan was wearing a scrubbed mask and stood straight under the corridor of the palace, and when he saw his father coming over to give a military salute, he said, "Governor." He saluted Xiao Yu, the military lord behind his father, and said, "General." β
Xiao Yu's light brown eyes flashed with brilliance, "haha" laughed, reached out and patted her shoulder, and said, "Advanced?" Attaboy! β
Xiao Yu smiled and said "good", seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, he let go of his hanging heart, and then became proud, although he was not as flamboyant as Xiao Yu, with the stability and reserve of the head of the family, but the smile at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes with pride revealed his mood.
Several generals who ascended to the Extreme Realm also sighed, I remember that the last time I saw this Xiao family seventeenth in the marshal of the capital, it was still in the early stage of the Extreme Realm, and it was only a few days since I saw it, and I actually reached the middle of the Extreme Realm? Several generals muttered in their hearts: If he is really talented, no wonder the princess favors him.
A group of people rode out of the palace, said goodbye and returned to the army.
Xiao Yan rode a horse and followed Xiao Yu, first to the Governor's Central Military Tent, which was temporarily set up in the palace of a Tibetan lord who had died in battle in Beicheng, and had a simple lunch with his father and Seventh Aunt. In fact, this will be past the time of Shen, it is common to miss the meal when fighting, from the morning to the present, the Tang army has used dry food as lunch, and the generals because of the palace service, the food is still behind the soldiers.
But Xiao Yan only used a bowl of juice to pour the rice with the cabbage, so he put the chopsticks aside and did not add any more bowls. Xiao Yu glanced at her, put down the food chopstick, and asked, "From morning to now, only use this?" β
Xiao Yan said that he had used milk tea, barley dumplings and dried meat collars while waiting in the side hall of the palace, and that he would not be very hungry.
Xiao Yu squeezed his eyes at her, and said, "The princess treats you well, and she still cares about your hunger in the side hall." β
Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "The princess is really a good person. β
Xiao Yu's eyes twitched, Princess Jinyang was ...... Good?
This is really a speechless answer.
Xiao Yu laughed "poof", patted the food table and laughed, and said while laughing: "Yes, Princess Jinyang is really a good person, hahaha!" "Why is her niece so cute?
Xiao Yu was a little worried, seventeen, this kid is smart and smart, but he is defenseless against people, how can there be any good to you for no reason in this world?
Xiao Yan actually felt that she might have met the eyes of Princess Jinyang, and the princess was so good to her; Mother said that "close friends are rare, and those who meet eyes and hearts are fate", and she and the princess may have such a fate. But she felt that her father was jealous of the princess, and he didn't want her to be close to the princess, and the fourth brother also commanded her like this, so Xiao Yan couldn't say that "I have a friend fate with the princess", but could only say that "the princess is a good person".
After lunch, the waiter served tea. Xiao Yuping retired from the waiter and asked about the battle in Hongshan.
Xiao Yan told all about the battle situation and going to the palace, including meeting the three innate grandmasters and receiving heavy gifts, and talked about them one by one, only hiding the matter of Princess Jinyang changing her pants and the princess's sword path - since she regarded the princess as a friend, she could not divulge her personal martial arts secrets without her permission.
After Xiao Yu left with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu showed a solemn expression on his face, he thought to himself, Daomen, Buddhism, Tiance Academy, the three congenitals, all gave Ah Yan gifts, although it is the right meaning for the innate grandmaster to give a meeting gift to the juniors who are eye-catching, but giving such a generous gift makes people mutter: is this their personal intention, or does it represent the meaning of their sect or academy?
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark, although the elders of the clan had long guessed that the Venerable One must have a deep plan to raise Ah Yan, but now that it looks at it, I am afraid that the Dao Gate and the Buddha Gate are also related - what is involved in Ah Yan?
As for Tiance Academy, I don't know if it is because of Ah Yan's half of the royal bloodline, or is it the same as the Daomen and Buddhism, for that unknown reason? - Heavenly Wisdom Talisman, I'm really willing to give it away! Is this to rob his daughter?
Xiao Yu's eyes were cold, and he paced around the room with his hands behind his back, thinking that it seemed that he should tell SΓΉ Ayan about "Shang Qing" as soon as possible, as well as her life experience, if he learned from other people's mouths - such as Princess Jinyang, Dao Zhenzi, and Du Yin...... Xiao Yu thought of Du Yin and thought of someone who was involved with Changle, and his heart suddenly felt like a stuff...... It is better to tell Ah Yan himself, so as to save himself from being added with oil and materials, or even distort the facts, and take Ah Yan to the ditch.
Xiao Yu made up his mind, and after returning to the bookcase, he wrote a letter to Xiao Xian, the elder of the martial arts pavilion in the clan, the fourth cousin, saying that the three innate grandmasters met Xiao Yan, and wrote their doubts and judgments, thinking that Du Yin, Dao Zhenzi and King Shen should have gone to see Ah Yan on purpose, and it was not the opportunity for Princess Jinyang to introduce him.
Xiao Yan didn't know her father's thoughts and suspicions, she galloped out of the city with Xiao Yan and her own soldiers, and returned to the Hexi Army camp thirty miles outside the northern city. Because the Chinese army had already been stationed in the city, the camp was partially empty, but the camp of the Jingnan army was still the same. After Xiao Yan returned to the 11th battalion, he first went to report to Xu Duwei's tent, and then returned to his own camp.
"Ah, Lieutenant, you're back!" An Yexi rushed over happily, almost didn't hang on her, her beautiful eyes looked at her left and right, and her mouth kept chattering, "Deputy Lieutenant, are you okay?" What masters did you fight against? Those Tibetans didn't hurt you, did they? β
Xiao Yan raised his hand and slapped her on the top of the head, "Do you think I look like something is wrong?" β
An Yexi laughed, "The deputy lieutenant is brave and invincible. As he spoke, he poured water and handed it to Xiao Yan, and asked, "Has the deputy lieutenant had lunch?" I left you a ballroom with barley dumplings. β
Xiao Yan said, "It has already been used", so he instructed An Yexi to send the captains and brigade commanders of the first and fifth regiments to come over and inquire about the battle situation in the city, the casualties of the two regiments, etc., and then went to the medical tent camp to visit the wounded soldiers, and when they came back, it was already two or three o'clock in Youzheng.
An Yexi has sent her back dinner.
Xiao Yan had dinner and took a bath.
The bath tub is still surrounded by a curtain, Xiao Yan is not worried about An Yexi breaking in, the military order is like a mountain, if her personal soldiers can't even abide by this bit of discipline, there is no need to stay by her side, An Yexi will not make such a mistake.
After bathing, she changed into her underwear, washed the princess's plain silk pants with the water in the bucket, and asked An Yexi to change half a bucket of water, and hung the pants on the drying rack outside the tent.
An Yexi's eyes were a little puzzled, she had never seen this kind of pale yellow in the underwear she washed Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan glanced at her and said, "I have too many underwear, have you seen them all?" β
An Yexi blinked, oh, and felt that it was too.
It's just that she still feels a little puzzled: this underwear is half-old, it should be worn often, she has heard that the clothes and pants in the family are all half-worn, because the old ones are more comfortable than the new ones, but why haven't the deputy lieutenant's half-worn pants been worn for a few months? You must know that Xiao Yan changes his underwear more frequently than his military pants, after all, they are worn closely, so it makes no sense that these pants have been pressed to the bottom of the box for several months.
Xiao Yan wiped a cold sweat secretly, it's not a good thing to have a pro-soldier who is too careful. I can't help but be glad that the princess's underwear is not ochre yellow, it is a special color for the royal family, and she can't be fooled. I don't think there is anything about this, but I just saved An Yexi from knowing that she showed a face of "You have a β‘β‘ with the princess", this kind of expression hurts your eyes if you see it too much.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yan was called into the city by his father.
Xiao Yan and Xu Chongmo reported that they might have to return to the camp later, and filled the pants in the officer's satchel, thinking that after seeing their father, they would go to the palace and return the pants to the princess.
Xiao Yu met her daughter in the study room where she was temporarily placed.
He dismissed the servant, his expression was solemn, and he sighed before he said: "This matter should have been told to you earlier, but I have been fighting in the early stage, and I am afraid that it will mess up your mind, so ...... Now, the big battle should be gone, and this letter should be given to you. β
He picked up a letter from the bookcase, "This is the letter that your mother, let's call it your mother, left you. β
Xiao Yan looked surprised, "Mother's letter to me?" "Mother wrote her a letter? Xiao Yan didn't have time to rejoice, because her father's expression and tone made her feel that something bad was going to happen.
She got up to take the letter, went to the fire paint, and took out the letterhead.
There was only one page with a few faint lines on it:
"I am not your mother. If you enter the hole, you can be my disciple. Enter the congenital, master and apprentice will meet again. β
Xiao Yan's hand shook, and the letter fell to the ground.
She looked up in astonishment, her eyes frightened, "...... Mother...... What do you mean? β
It's a mother's word, and she won't be mistaken.
However, the mother said that it was not her mother?
The blood on Xiao Yan's face instantly receded and became pale.
She looked at her father with frightened and dazed eyes.
Xiao Yu stepped forward and picked up the letterhead, glanced at it, sighed, and said in a slow tone: "Ah Yan, the one in Qingning Courtyard is not your biological mother, and for some reason, she raised you to the age of fifteen. Last year, she had already left the Xiao Mansion. β
β¦β¦
***
Xiao Yan didn't know how he got back to the room.
That night, she did not return to the barracks, but lived in her father's temporary marshal's mansion - Xiao Yu was not worried about her dejected state and rode out of the city.
Xiao Yan had insomnia this night.
She sat on the roof and let the wind of the plateau blow herself.
There is a feeling of emptiness in her heart, she only feels that life is at a loss, and she doesn't know who she is - Princess Changle Jiaqing is just a symbol in her heart, and she can't connect her with her "mother".
In her heart, there is only one mother! - But she didn't want her anymore.
Xiao Yan lay flat on the roof of the Tubo people's bungalow, stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and her hands were wet with tears.
The shock of learning of her life experience was far less than the blow to her from the fact that her "mother" left herβthis pain was far worse than the pain of quenching her body, far more painful than broken bones and broken bones.
Her heart was whimpering in pain, but she stubbornly didn't make a sound.
β¦β¦
Xiao Xun and Xiao Jian stood side by side under the distant house, their divine senses silently paying attention to this side.
Xiao Jian frowned and hesitated: "This kid, it's going to be okay, right?" β
Xiao Xun's expression was grim, "No matter how good the talent is, it is in vain if you have no heart." If you can't get through this, it's wasted. β
The two Dongzhen Realm Uncles stood under the porch with their sleeves folded, silently accompanying the young man through the first hurdle in his lifeβeven though the young man didn't know it.
The starry sky is bright, I don't know how long it has been flickering, the stars are silent, and the night wind is merciless. The pain of a qiΔ can only be experienced by people.
Xiao Yan pulled out the autumn water knife and held it horizontally in front of his eyes, looking at the watery knife face reflecting his sad eyes, "...... You know that, Qiushui. "My sorrow, you will understand.
She pressed the knife to her eyelids, feeling the coldness of the knife penetrate into her heart.
ββ¦β¦ Dong Zhen, Xiantian, is this the path you want me to take? She whispered.
If that's what you expect, I'll do it.
She sat up slowly, and slowly stood up again.
The autumn water knife is raised horizontally, and the knife is raised.
β¦β¦
From afar, I "saw" the young man practicing knives on the roof, every knife was meticulous, every knife was steady, and every knife seemed to quench the silent but thick rhythm of heaven and earth...... The two cousins under the house looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes showed a look of relief.
Xiao Yu stood under Xiao Yan's porch, and only then did he slowly exhale a long breath, and the heavy stone in his heart fell.
Even if it will take a long time for the grief and pain to heal, time is like flowing water, and it is the best medicine.
He wants his daughter, Changle Weiyang.
***
Xiao Yan returned to the barracks after dawn, she didn't go to the palace to return her pants, she knew her background at first glance, she didn't want to face the princess - this kind of life experience was really embarrassing; What's more, she is not in the mood to meet the princess now.
Xiao Yan stayed in the camp for seven or eight days, and every day was on time, training, and the sergeant didn't think she had anything abnormal, but An Yexi knew that she was in an extremely bad mood, and when she returned to the tent, she had a face and cold eyes, so that she didn't even dare to laugh.
An Yexi felt not happy at all, although she finally saw the beautiful face of the deputy lieutenant, and serving her every night to "wash her face" was no longer to wipe the mask, but she really didn't want to face this face with frost - you better wear a mask.
An Yexi cried silently, praying that Xiao Yan would return to normal as soon as possible, she couldn't bear this style of "harsh winter and severe snow...... Huh, can she go back to the first regiment to be a team leader?
In the days when An Yexi was psychologically devastated, the Hexi Army was going to return to Hexi.
After the Tang army occupied Luo, the Youshence army then went south to attack the Zangbo River, and joined the Jiannan army in the Yalong River valley to pursue and suppress the remnants of Tubo led by Prince Osong; The Zuo Shence army marched west to Zhangxiong, and the Zuo Longwu army and the Xining army stayed behind to defend Luo. At this point in the battle, there will be no matter of the Hexi Army. Princess Jinyang awarded a reward to the Hexi army, gold, silver, gems, silk, silk and spices loaded more than a dozen carts, and rewarded the Hexi army for a three-day banquet, and even the soldiers in the army got a bag full of barley wine, and the top and bottom were jubilant.
After the three-day reward, the army withdrew back to Hexi, and Xiao Yan hesitated for a long time, feeling that he should go and say goodbye to the princess.
She asked Xu Chongmo for leave, and galloped out of the camp and went to Luoqi City.
Princess Jinyang's marshal tent has been moved out of the palace and moved to the Changle Weiyang Palace in the center of the city.
This is the palace built by Chide Songtsan for Princess Changle Jiaqing, named after the "Changle Weiyang" of Chang'an Palace in the Han Dynasty, to comfort the princess's homesickness, and contains the expectation that the princess will live happily in Tibet, "the joy is endless".
Xiao Yan stood in front of the palace gate, his mood was a little complicated.
This is the palace of her mother, her biological mother.
The palace is majestic and handsome, with a single eaves of dougong, red pillars and green tiles, at first glance, it is the style of the Tang Dynasty, which makes people feel friendly and friendly. Xiao Yan has never been to Chang'an, but imagines that the palace in Chang'an is probably similar to this, but it is not as big as the palace in Chang'an.
She didn't wait long outside the Changle Palace before Yu Chiting came out and led her in.
When passing through the front hall, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered: "Wei Chi guard, I don't know if my handkerchief that day is in your place?" β
Wei Chiting's face froze, can he say that he has thrown it away? What are you still thinking about with a blood-stained handkerchief? Are you the Langjun of the first family? Yu Chiting was teary-eyed in his heart, his own handkerchiefs were embroidered with the golden insignia of Yu Chi's family, and there was no way for Li Dai to be stiff. He laughed dryly, "I washed the house." Let's go back to Deputy Lieutenant Xiao. β
Xiao Yan sincerely thanked: "It's really troublesome for you." β
Wei Chiting scratched the wall in his heart, "Don't bother." "As long as you say you don't have to.
He led Xiao Yan to the door of the hall, turned around and ran away, anxiously going to his colleagues to borrow a white folded hand towel without embroidery patterns.
Xiao Yan's words "There are guards with Lao Wei Chi" were still on his lips, and he saw that the guard ran away as if he was being chased by a ghost, and thought to himself, "Is it an internal emergency?" Suddenly I understood: people have three urgency and internal urgency, and they can't wait.
Lian Cheng stood in the palace gate with a smile, looked at the back of Yu Chiting running away, and saluted: "Deputy Lieutenant Xiao, the princess will see you in the inner hall." β
Xiao Yan followed her through the outer hall and into the inner hall, and there was a hidden sound of water behind the heavy hanging mantle.
Liancheng walked to the outermost curtain and stood and said, "The princess is bathing in the bath. β
Xiao Yan paused, "Then I'll wait for the princess in the outer hall." β
Lian Cheng coughed, "The princess said, it's okay for Xiao Seventeen 'Lang Jun' to go in." She accentuated her tone on "Lang Jun", and her delicate eyes squeezed at her.
Xiao Yan suddenly understood that the princess's personal maid already knew that she was a woman - at least, at least she wouldn't look at her with that kind of "you have an ambiguous relationship with the princess" in the future.
"Yan, come in." Princess Jinyang's cool, flawless voice came out.
Xiao Yan responded, thinking that this was her cousin, it should be okay for her to go in, and leave after saying goodbye.
She took out the neatly folded underwear from the officer's shoulder bag, handed it to Lian Cheng, and said, "This is for the princess." β
Lian Cheng smiled and took it, and took her officer's satchel with the other hand and hung it on the towel rack.
Xiao Yan entered through the four or five vermilion purple and yellow brocade curtains, bypassed an eight-fold screen with heavy purple peonies and feather ladies enjoying flowers, and saw a pool of clear water, a beauty with stunning brilliance and skin like jade.
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Liancheng: Didn't the princess bathe at night? Why did this suddenly take a bath?
