Chapter 110: The Mother Shows Traces in the World
In the depths of the Cui clan in Qinghe, a young woman with a sad face and lost her eyes, but she was exquisitely dressed, was sitting by the window on the second floor of the boudoir, looking out of the window in a daze.
There was a steady sound of footsteps going upstairs from the attic, and it was the woman's father, Cui Junxuan, the contemporary patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan. And this woman is Cui Mingyue, the youngest daughter of Cui Junxuan and the only concubine of the contemporary patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe.
Seeing his daughter looking out of the window every day day after day, the old father with slightly frosty sideburns didn't feel good in his heart, but seeing his daughter's lips getting more and more blue day by day, it proved that the condition was getting more and more serious.
"Mingyue, have you heard about what happened in Chang'an?" Unlike in the past, when she cared about her daughter's condition every day, this time Cui Junqiu actually asked about the current situation first.
Cui Mingyue got up and saluted, and replied that she didn't know, that indifferent look was as if anything that happened in the world had nothing to do with her, so why should she know.
Cui Junxuan said patiently: "It's the matter of the new King Qin's selection of concubines, I have discussed it with the elders of the clan for my father, and one person from each room of our Qinghe Cui family participates, and you have also reached the marriageable age, so this time we want you to try it." ”
This is very normal, marriage has always been the order of parents, and such families are accustomed to marriage, and these daughters also know that they are destined to bear a certain family responsibility from birth.
But when Cui Junxuan said this, he was afraid of hurting his daughter's heart, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't be careful, my father's intention is not to ask you to marry, but I heard that this King of Qin is not a mortal, maybe you come to his side, and it is unknown what your illness may be." Hehe, judging from all kinds of intelligence, this King of Qin is a person who is good at creating miracles, so ......"
So what, he didn't break it, in fact, it should be later, so he rekindled hope for the treatment and wanted his daughter to try it.
At this time, Cui Mingyue spoke, "Father, this King of Qin is a healer?" ”
"This ...... No, but I've heard that he knows how to heal. ”
"Then how are his medical skills better than Doctor Sun?"
"Uh...... It should be, it should be too late. Cui Junxuan was a little nervous when asked by her daughter, for fear that her daughter would refuse directly.
Cui Mingyue's tutor is very good, and she said in a clear manner: "If we seek medical treatment, we should go directly to him to ask him, why do we need to do it in this way?" Our Cui family is also a famous family, so let's talk to the royal family. ”
Cui Junsui nodded and said: "The truth is so, but you also know that your disease is not ordinary, I think, even if it can be cured, it will cost a lot, our Qinghe Cui clan is a noble family, but there is no reason to force the royal family to spend a lot of money to make a move, besides...... I had an unpleasant relationship with the royal Li family before, so I can only wronged you. ”
Cui Mingyue saw her father blaming herself so embarrassed, and she was also sad in her heart, so she got up and saluted and said: "Because of my daughter's illness, my father's hard work is involved, and my daughter is not filial!" With the prestige of the Qinghe Cui family, it may be able to contribute to this matter, but it may not be a good thing, and the Li royal family will definitely investigate and find out that the Qinghe Cui family married a terminally ill girl to the King of Qin, which is not only useless but also harmful, but the two sides will inevitably fight each other. ”
Cui Junqiu waved his hand and said, "These fathers can handle them, you don't need to worry too much." ”
"No, father, it's not like that. When I was 10 years old, Dr. Sun Shen diagnosed me and asserted that I would not live to be 20 years old, and that my daughter was so crippled, so I should not harm others, but only hope that in the days before I left, I could serve and accompany my parents, and do a little filial piety. Cui Mingyue said sincerely.
Hearing this, Cui's father had tears in his eyes, reached out and stroked his daughter's hair, and choked up: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" Doctor Sun said that he was not twenty, but now you have two out of twenty, which means that the prophecy has been broken......"
"Father, daughter's own body knows that she has become weaker and weaker in the past two years, and it is the father and the family who have spent a lot of money to prolong her life for two years, so let's not lie to ourselves." After Cui Mingyue finished speaking sadly, she turned around and sat back in front of the window.
"Hey! You don't have to think about it, even if you are a father, you have to find a way to save you......"
Recalling that when her daughter was sixteen years old, she was too sensible, afraid that her parents would send black-haired people, and she ran away from home to avoid life and death.
Cui Junqiu sighed, told the maid to serve well, and left downstairs with some staggering.
The maid Cui Yingying also grew up with Miss since she was a child, and her heart was naturally full of Miss alone, so she stepped forward and persuaded her: "Miss, Doctor Sun said that we won't live to be twenty, don't we live to twenty-two now?" Even such an old immortal is not allowed, then nothing can be difficult to stop us, you want to open a little, the medical book says, a good mood is good for health. ”
But no one paid attention to her, and the young lady was not interested, still looking out the window, muttering in a low voice that I couldn't see you before I died.
The maid didn't hear clearly, but she was depressed and in a bad mood, seeing that the previous topic was useless, her eyes turned into a storyteller and said: "Miss, just now the master said that the king of Chang'an Qin chose a concubine, don't you remember what I told you the day before yesterday?" Speaking of the new King of Qin, he is a god, and the people have spread about his magic, saying that he is an immortal in the sky. But the truth is that his name is Li Yuanying, the fifth son of the lost folk of the Emperor Taishang, and the younger brother of the current emperor......"
The little maid told the story by herself, but she didn't notice that the young lady who couldn't be thundered in the past was shocked when she heard Li Yuanying's three words, and she turned her head slowly, held up the story seriously, and asked in a trembling tone while holding her chest: "What did you just say, he, what is his name?" ”
When she came back to her senses, the maid exclaimed, "Ah! Miss, you're listening, hehe, it seems that you are also interested in this mysterious King of Qin. His name is Li Yuanying, and I heard that he is a very good person and has done a lot of great things...... By the way, the most interesting thing is not these, I heard that he has a very lovely daughter, who was named Princess Pingan by the current emperor, according to rumors, the emperor dotes on this niece, more than his own daughter.
Folk rumors say that the story of Her Royal Highness the little princess is no less than that of her father, and in short, the story of their father and daughter is particularly interesting. It's a pity that our Cui family is too far away from Chang'an, otherwise if I really want to go to Chang'an, there will definitely be more good stories......"
Li Yuanying? Daughter? Cui Mingyue covered her chest, feeling that she was about to lose her breath, and her mind was full of those two familiar figures, and then she fell into the maid's arms.
"Oh no, Miss fainted, call the doctor, call the master......"
Soon after being rescued by the doctor at home, Cui Mingyue's first sentence was: "Father, I'm going to Chang'an!" ”
