Chapter 13: Visitors
"Fairy in the dress, early. ”
"Early. Ah Shang smiled and greeted the maids, a little embarrassed. Xu was because she had drunk some wine at dinner the day before, so she actually slept until noon.
"The fairy in the dress is really as good as her name suggests, very gentle. ”
"Well, you didn't notice that even His Highness has become different from before. ”
"Indeed, we are not treated as harshly as before. ”
"Thanks to the fairy in the dress, it is rare that His Highness is willing to change for her. ”
A group of maids passed, and their words were all passed into Ah Shang's ears, she didn't feel anything, but was a little happy, could it be that this is what the Buddha said about the red and black near the ink?" "Zhu Liang, Zhu Liang?" Ah Shang looked at the girl who was distracted, "What's wrong with you?"
"Back to the fairy, Zhu Liang is guilty, Zhu Liang is distracted, please punish the fairy. She buried her head very low, as if she had done something terrible.
Ah Shang was a little at a loss, Leiyin Temple did not have the habit of punishing people, the only thing the Buddha loved to punish her was to chant in front of the case, she herself had not punished the maid, and she didn't know how to comfort this frightened bird, "It's not necessary." She picked up Zhuliang, her stomach was so hungry that she couldn't get up at this time, so that the Buddha knew that she was going to be punished again. She suddenly thought of a good idea, "Then punish you for waking me up at the next hour, and there must be no mistake." ”
"Yes. Zhu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Shang rushed to the side hall to eat, he was already hungry, Ao Xia's palace was still so big, Ah Shang became more and more angry, how good the small house was, he had to put this palace out, this is good, if he can't go to the side hall, he will starve to death, then again, I don't know what Ao Xia is doing, he drank more than himself yesterday, presumably he is still sleeping in bed at the moment. Ah Shang looked back and smiled, as if the sun shone into Zhuliang's heart,
"You say, what is your Highness doing at the moment?"
"Zhu Liang doesn't know. She laughed.
"I don't know?" Ah Shang was a little puzzled, "Isn't he your master?"
"The fairy doesn't know anything. Zhu Liang's expression became lonely, "I'm just an illusion created by His Highness." ”
"Illusions, how did he create illusions of such magnitude?"
"His Royal Highness has a fairy weapon, named Polar Night, which was passed down to His Highness by the princess back then. As long as His Highness is willing, he can use the polar night to create the Seventh Realm. Even we are just illusions created by His Highness, and we have our own duties, and only the maids who are in charge of His Highness's daily life know His Highness's daily habits. ”
"I see. Ah Shang was like a fairy who had never seen the world, and his heart was full of questions, "Then what are you doing when Ao Xia is not there on weekdays? Will you be born, old, sick and die? Do you need to take care of this place in normal times?"
Zhu Liang shook his head, "When His Highness is not there, we will fall into a deep sleep with the Polar Night, and in the same way, if His Highness leaves and leaves the fairy in the Polar Night, unless His Highness creates an illusion for the fairy, the fairy will face endless darkness." There is usually no need to take care of it here, but the polar night consumes a lot of spiritual power, and even His Highness will not use it often. Your Royal Highness, he will only come to see occasionally when he misses the princess......" Zhu Liang wanted to speak and stopped, but Ah Shang already understood her intentions.
"Got it. Ah Shang patted her head, "I will go and persuade your Highness to accept this illusion." ”
But did she really get it?
"Coincidentally, little green. Ah Shang raised his head and happened to meet Ao Xia's dead fish eyes, it was really a coincidence, "You also go to eat." ”
For a while, Ah Shang didn't know how to speak, she knew that Ao Xia had practiced for 70,000 years and was full of spiritual power, but he had just been counterattacked, and he couldn't even walk steadily, what could he use to support this huge illusion?" "Take your palace away, let's live in the original house here." ”
"Why?" Ao Xia frowned in confusion.
Why? How do you answer that? Ah Shang looked back at Zhu Liang, she couldn't give her out, "Because it's too luxurious here, I don't like to have to walk for a long time to even eat, it doesn't match our thrifty habits of Leiyin Temple, and I don't like so many maids hugging each other, it's very uncomfortable." ”
"But I just gave you one?" Ao Xia felt inexplicable, "Where did you come from?"
"I don't care, I don't like it anyway. Ah Shang found that he couldn't talk about him, so he simply made trouble unreasonably.
Ao Xia's originally plain face suddenly became gloomy, "Got it." With a wave of his hand, all the bridges of the palace disappeared, leaving only the two of them staring at each other in the small courtyard. He just wanted her to live a little better, at least, better than Lei Yin Temple, for example, to be good to her, he thought that in this way she would be homesick, but he didn't expect that she didn't like this, he made her feel uncomfortable.
There was silence in the courtyard, but luckily there was a knock on the door. Ah Shang ran to open the door as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Zeyun?" Ah Shang subconsciously looked back at Ao Xia, who was facing away from her, "Why are you here? No, how do you know I live here?"
"I searched all the post stations and inns in Kyoto, and found that the little green girl did not stay here, and I inquired all the way, only to know that Brother Zixia rented the house here. Zeyun's smile was hard to hide, and there was no need to hide it, "It's just noon now, and I want to invite the girl to lunch, I don't know if it's okay?"
Ah Shang looked back at Ao Xia, with a bit of help in his eyes, but unfortunately, Ao Xia didn't have eyes behind him, he didn't look back, opened his legs, pushed the door open, turned around and went in and closed the door again, all in one go.
Ah Shang was shocked by the sound of the door closing, what did she do wrong, what was he angry about?! Ah Shang hesitated, not knowing whether to chase after him and apologize to Ao Xia. But after thinking about it, what kind of Buddha temper does she have without the ability of the Buddha, she is also a figure who is held on the tip of her heart in the Leiyin Temple, why should she nod to Ao Xia after coming to the world, no! The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, "Okay, I promise you." Ah Shang dragged Zeyun's arm and went out the door, "Let's go now." ”
In the crack of the door, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes watched the girl's flowing hairband finally close in frustration.
"Bang!" she slammed the door as she did.
As a cold wind blew, a snowflake fell, followed by a second, a third...... Ah Shang looked at the sky stupidly, and the snowflakes fell on her brow and then melted.
Zeyun stroked Ah Xiang's cheek with one hand, and gently wiped the water between her eyebrows with the other hand, "The first snow in Kyoto is here." He followed Ah Xiang's gaze, the sky was full of snow, and time seemed to freeze in an instant.
