Before the age of seven, Luo Yuan felt that his life was boring and boring. As the only prince of his father, he was referred to as the crown prince at birth. For as long as he can remember, he lived alone in the huge prince's east palace, surrounded by a group of nurses, maids and eunuchs. He thought that Chen Nuniang was his mother, but everyone told him that his mother was Concubine Jin who lived in Huining Palace.

In his impression, his father was a strict person, and he always needed to be careful in front of his father, for fear that one would make him angry if he was not careful. The thing he was most afraid of was to go to his father's palace every morning to ask for peace, and his father would always ask him to recite the articles taught by the Taifu yesterday at this time. If he can't recite it, his father will take out the jade brocade belt and pump his palm. He didn't dare to cry, because his father said that he couldn't cry if he was born as a prince.

And the concubine's Huining Hall will always be deserted. The huge palace has only a handful of old women. His father allowed him to visit his mother once a month. In his memory, the concubine was a beautiful and sad woman. I heard that the mother concubine entered the palace at the age of 13, and at a young age, she became one of the countless lonely women in her father's deep palace. He saw that the concubine often sat in the courtyard and looked up at the sky, muttering words that no one could understand. Some people say that the mother has hysteria. But he knew that the concubine was nostalgic for life outside the palace.

This is the palace in his memory, and most of the things have become very blurred because of the passage of time. He just remembered the feeling clearly, the cold, monotonous, gray and even unsettling feeling.

The only vivid memory comes from the huge wisteria tree in the Seonghei Hall. Seongheijeon Hall is the residence of the national teacher. Sometimes, after his father punished him, the national teacher would quietly come to the study after his father left, and then help him up who was kneeling on the ground and secretly wiping his tears.

The national teacher wiped away his tears, "Ah Yu, let's go eat something delicious." ”

"But my father said I had to kneel here for an hour," he said, sobbing.

"Anyway, no one is watching, I'll tell your father, you've been kneeling for a long time, isn't that okay?" He smiled at him and winked his eyes.

"Well," he replied, "what are we going to eat?" ”

The national teacher took his little hand, "Hehe, come with me, I promise you haven't eaten it." ”

The thing that the national teacher said that he had never eaten was made by the national teacher himself.

Luo Yuan remembered that he sat under the wisteria tree in the Chengping Hall and watched as the national master set up a small stove, and then placed an orange-yellow object on the strange clay pot on the stove. After a while, the orange thing melted, and then the national teacher picked up the small bamboo stick that had been sharpened in advance, formed the ball into a ball, and inserted it into the small bamboo stick. When the thing on the bamboo stick became hard, the national teacher handed it to him, "Ah Yu, here you go." ”

"What is this?" He asked curiously.

"Lolipop, ah, what is Chinese, stick candy?" The national teacher tilted his head sideways, thought for a moment, and then held a small wooden stick to put the candy in his mouth.

"It turned out to be a stick candy," he said, and as he put the candy in his mouth, he snorted.

"Isn't it sweet, Ayu?"

"Well, it's so sweet!"

Later, the father allowed the mother concubine to go out of the palace every month to enter the incense. On that day, his father allowed him to go out of the palace with his mother and concubine for the first time. It was the first time he had been out of the palace. He still remembers that in the carriage, the concubine opened the window and stretched out her hand, as if to touch the warm sun. He saw the warm spring light of April sprinkled on the face of the concubine, forming a strange halo.

The warm sunlight melted the woman who was always cold in her memory into a mother.

But the memory is forever fixed on the mountain road near the abyss. The danger was sudden, and he saw the boulder tumbling down the mountain, and before he could react, he and his mother's palanquin rolled into the valley. At the moment of his fall, he saw a strange smile on his mother's face. That smile still lingers in his dreams today. The mother's lips were closed, and she said, "Go north, Ah Yu."

It was his mother who held him in her arms that he had escaped, and when he woke up, his mother was no longer breathing. Not far away, a group of masked men in black hurried in, and he hid. He saw the men in black in the wreckage and corpses, searching for something, and killing all those who still had a breath.

He stumbled away. North, the mother asked him to go to the north. He knew what his mother meant. Youzhou in the north was the hometown of his mother, and his uncle was stationed there. He was going north to find his uncle.

Traveling thousands of miles is naturally extremely difficult for an eight-year-old child. He was tricked into boarding a ship by traffickers when he inquired about a passenger ship to Youzhou at the dock. During the more than ten days of boat trip, he and a dozen other people were chained together and huddled in a small cabin all day long, but fortunately, from the conversations of the traffickers, he knew that their destination was Youzhou City.

Years later, he was even somewhat grateful to the traffickers, because without them, he wouldn't have been able to see the woman at that pier that night.

The strange woman sitting on the dock in a daze.

She looked so distinctive: despite wearing the coarse linen clothes of the lowest people, she still looked clean and casual; The light formed a hazy halo behind her, making her whole body glow softly. Taifu told him that in the far east of the Penglai Islands, there lived flying fairies and fairies. He felt that this woman must have come from the distant Oriental Immortal Island.

That night, he sat in the courtyard with the other slaves, and his mind was so preoccupied with the woman with a hazy halo that he didn't even think about how to escape from here to find his uncle.

He didn't expect to see her again so soon.

She appeared with the morning sun. She turned against the light, and the golden sunlight formed a brilliant circle of light behind her. Years later, he still remembers the scene. He felt that she must have been born on a beautiful day, because she was so dazzling.

The woman bought him with a gold ring. She smiled and said to him, "Hey, little guy, what's your name?" I'm Ivy, I-Wei-. Her voice was heavenly.

She seemed to be looking for something. He took her hand and walked through the streets and alleys of Youzhou City, and also passed by his uncle's mansion many times. But he was not in a hurry, he felt that he could wait.

Throughout the day, he followed her from house to house to inquire. Despite the fact that they found nothing, and sometimes even blasted out the door as crazy women, she kept smiling no matter how many stares and insults she received.

He saw her scratching her head, smiling apologetically, and said to him, "Little one, you must be hungry." Then she rummaged through all her pockets and couldn't find a single copper plate.

It turned out that she had bought herself with what she had of value.

She led him to a sparsely populated wooded area on the outskirts of the city. He saw a small tent hidden in the bushes. It was in that tent that he witnessed the most amazing thing in the world. 'Forever Lamp' as bright as the sun, 'small box' that automatically emits pleasant music when touched; A strange but obedient 'blackbird' who can look down on the earth through the eyes of this bird. And his favorite among them is the board with the 'shadow puppet'. There are three strange fat bears living in the "board": a brown bear, a white bear, and a bear that meets black and white. Although the three bears said things he didn't understand, he watched them with relish.

He was sure that this woman was a fairy from the Oriental Immortal Island. He even forgot that he was supposed to go to his uncle, and he thought it was more interesting to be with this woman.

But she was gone.

She said she would be back soon, but he waited and waited until spring passed and summer came, and when his uncle finally found him. He refused to leave, he refused to leave with his uncle with all his strength, but he was still a child. The uncle still took him back to the mansion. He had tried to escape, but when he was caught, he was beaten and beaten by more personal guards, who were inseparable from him.

His uncle claimed that he was an adopted son and named him Luo Yuan.

His uncle was strict with him to the point of being cruel. He has to get up before dawn every day to practice martial arts, and the scorching heat and harsh winter are no exception. That kind of strictness, Luo Yuan knows, is not out of family affection for him to become a Chan, but out of eagerness to polish a sharp weapon. My uncle's eyes were full of ambition that could not be concealed.

Luo Yuan didn't like the cousin named Luo Qianqiu either. She is her uncle's only daughter, and she is a pampered and arrogant, arrogant and domineering wild girl. People are often fooled by her beautiful appearance, but Luo Yuan knows that her ambition is as great as her father's.

"You remember, you belong to me alone," she raised her proud head and asserted sovereignty over him.

He never contradicted her. He was always polite and polite to her, and he didn't want to provoke this unreasonable girl. He knew that for the father and daughter, he was just a stepping stone to power and wealth, and now he did not have the strength to escape.

He had been waiting for the woman, but she never showed up again.

At first, he was furious. He felt that the woman was a liar, that she had lied to herself that she would be back soon, that she had cheated her most precious things. After that, he stopped getting angry, and he stopped sneaking to the valley. The monk of the small temple in the valley promised him that if the woman returned, he would tell him. He never heard from the monk. That woman will definitely come back, she must have been delayed because of something very important. Her most precious thing is still with him, isn't it?

Later, he threw away her most precious things. He went mad and fought back to the battlefield to try to get the necklace back. It is said that at a young age of fifteen, he had inhuman courage and strategy, and he could single-handedly return to the enemy camp. But only he knows that he just wants to find what he loves the most.

Then, when he was eight years old, his memories seemed to be distant, like a strange dream he had, and the only thing left in his life seemed to be to seize the throne and avenge his father and mother. He threw himself into this great cause of subjugating the world, and he did a good job, and everything seemed to be easy for him. Although he has gained the envy and love of the people of the world for him, his heart does not seem to have any waves. Is the heart dead? Or after that adventure, everything has become boring for him?

Did the woman with the halo really appear in his life?
