Chapter 31: Forced to become a scholar
Fate is playing a joke with Xiao Wu!
She was blown up from the ground of the Nine Springs to the Nine Heavens by an evil hurricane, and her memories were swept away, along with the honor of her little wife of the Demon Prince and the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan. When she came to Heaven, she was forced to become the little scholar of the Heavenly Clan's crown prince Qingtian, whom she hated the most.
Looking at the back of the little girl wiping her tears and stubbornly leaving, Qingtian shook her head helplessly, he just wouldn't let her go, in addition to the inexplicable anger, there are indeed some things that need to be investigated.
This thing is that on the fourth day of Xiao Wu's execution, the prison officer accidentally found that she was wearing a piece of jade worn by a man from Xiao Wu's broken robe. The jade recipe is white chaotic with a hazy red light, it is very peculiar, the most important thing is the lanyard, which is delicately woven with a dark dragon pattern, the prison officer expected that this is not an idle mortal thing, he did not dare to slack off, and presented the jade recipe to the prince Qingtian.
When Qingtian saw the jade jue, he judged that this thing should be a demon thing, and it should be from the Great Jingyang Palace, because the dragon pattern on the lanyard is a typical logo of the Demon Palace.
"Could it be that this amnesiac little girl has anything to do with the Demon Palace? She is a Demon Clan, and what is she going to do when she comes to Heaven?"
A series of questions flashed in Qingtian's mind, he felt that this jade recipe was an important clue, there were too many unbelievable things happening to this Lu Xiaowu, he was full of questions about the mysterious her, and he needed to find out clearly.
At present, the demon clan is eyeing the heavenly clan, and the heart of disobedience has been revealed. Therefore, Qingtian secretly arranged for Yan Wu to go to the demon clan to secretly inquire about the jade trick and the situation about Lu Xiaowu.
After being kicked out of the Chenghua Palace, Xiao Wu has been fidgeting since she returned to the room, knowing that Cui'er will definitely worry about her safety and will never stay in Xiyi Immortal Mansion honestly. Xiao Wu was afraid that Cui'er would ignore the chaos and bring death to herself. I couldn't get out of the palace gate, so I could only wait for Zixiao and Guiyan to help deliver the news.
Looking forward to it, Zixiao came, and Xiao Wu asked him to send a letter to Cui'er immediately.
Only then did Zi Xiao know that Xiao Wu and Cui'er were intercepted when they left today, and also knew that from tomorrow, Xiao Wu would be a scholar for the prince's brother for a hundred years. Although Zi Xiao felt guilty and felt sorry for Xiao Wu, he also had some little happiness, he finally didn't have to be separated from Xiao Wu, and he could meet often again.
In the depths of her heart, how Zi Xiao hoped that Xiao Wu would not go. Xiao Wu's arrival is like a sweet spring watering his dry and dead heart, Zi Xiao can feel the hot blood surging in his body, she is the source of his happiness and the biggest concern. In the future, let yourself use all your love to love her and protect her!
Zi Xiao hid the joy in his heart, and deliberately said angrily: "Xiao Wu, even if you want to leave, you should let me and Guiyan know, at least say goodbye......? It's going to be sad!".
"I ...... I'm afraid of separation!"
When I think of separating from Zixiao and Guiyan, Xiao Wu will feel heartache, leaving means that everyone will go their separate ways, and it will be even more difficult to meet again, Xiao Wu really doesn't have the courage to face the sad separation.
"Okay! I don't blame you...... I'll go find Cui'er, don't worry, you can rest for a while", Zi Xiao said, raising his hand to gently help Xiao Wu comb the messy hair in front of her behind her ears, and wanted to comfort Xiao Wu a few words, but she wanted to stop talking.
Zixiao took Xiao Wu's letter and turned into green smoke and came to the courtyard where Cui'er lived.
Cui'er was sealed in the house by the enchantment, and was hitting the seal with tears on her face and blood all over her body, crying: "You can't leave the little master in Yongzheng Palace, they will hurt her, let me out...... Don't be afraid, little master, Cui'er will definitely save you...... Zhenjun, you can't see death without help, let me out!".
The second apprentice of Xuanyuan was lonely by the bamboo forest in the courtyard, standing with his arms in his arms, his face was gloomy as the bottom of a pot, his lips were pursed fiercely, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his heart seemed to be struggling very painfully.
Zi Xiao passed through the barrier and saw that Cui'er was covered with injuries, and hurriedly shouted, "Cui'er!
Seeing that the Seventh Highness had come down, he felt like he had been relieved of his burden, so he waved his sleeves and withdrew the barrier, standing in place and looking at this side.
Zi Xiao walked into the house quickly, picked up Cui'er, who was already scarred and exhausted, and said angrily: "Cui'er, what are you doing here? Don't you know that it hurts? You say, is this useful?"
Cui'er grabbed Zixiao's arm with her bloody hands, stared at Zixiao with red eyes, and asked anxiously, "Xiao Wu, have you seen Xiao Wu?"
Eyes met, Zi Xiao saw that Cui'er was full of anxiety, hatred and despair, he suddenly felt that Cui'er was so helpless and pitiful, and hurriedly said: "I see, I see, don't worry! She is very good, she asked me to come...... Oh, you see, this is the letter she brought to you".
Cui'er grabbed the letter and saw the handwriting of the little master, and saw that the letter read: "Cui'er, I'm okay now, don't worry! I need to stay in Yongzheng Palace for a while, with Zixiao and Guiyan to accompany and take care of me, I don't need to worry about hanging up." You have to stay in the Immortal Mansion with peace of mind, recuperate and cultivate, if you have something to do, you can find Zixiao, he will pass on a message to me, and I will also go to see you when I am free, but you don't come to look for me, but cause trouble, remember!
After reading the letter, Cui'er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the little master was not embarrassed again. After calming down for a while, Cui'er realized that she was leaning on Zixiao's body, she hurriedly moved away, looked up at Zixiao with some embarrassment, and asked, "Little master, why do you want to stay in Yongzheng Palace?
Zi Xiao knew that Xiao Wu did not tell Cui'er the reason in the letter, in order to appease the sad and crazy Cui'er, Zi Xiao felt that he could only lie to stabilize her first, his eyes flickered a few times, met Cui'er's gaze, and replied: "Xiao Wu, you want to accompany me and Guiyan, this is ...... Punishment for her...... Probably, maybe ten or eight years."
"Ten years, eight years, so long...... Accompaniment?", Cui'er repeated Zixiao's words, frowning in thought.
Cui'er knows what to do as a companion, Xiao Wu has been an accompaniment to the second prince of Mu Bai for 7,000 years, and that is Xiao Wu's most lively and happy days. Now I have to accompany Zi Xiao and Gui Yan again, with them to take care of, the little master should not be bullied again, as long as he can stay away from the black-hearted prince.
Although Cui'er was unwilling to accept such a result, she finally put her mind at ease. Xiao Wu has already decided on something, and she can't help but listen.
Zixiao gave Cui'er the pill, and insisted on helping her take care of the wound, and left the medicine for the next few days before leaving with confidence.
On the evening of the second day, Yan Wen took Xiao Wu, dressed as a scholar, to the study of Chenghua Palace, and the prince Qingtian was sitting behind the desk and reading the recital. Yan Wen took Xiao Wu to salute respectfully, and Qingtian didn't even raise his eyelids, only waved his hand, signaling them to go and get busy.
Yan Wen brought Xiao Wu to the bookshelf and explained to her in a low voice, how to classify and store the book slips and music sheets, how to quickly find what His Highness needs, how to send him the documents and music sheets from all over the country that he needs to read and approve every day, and how to classify or store the approved music sheets, or transfer them to him for execution, and so on.
Yanwen talked for a while, and seeing that Xiao Wu was just listening to it, he kindly reminded, "You don't have to record so many things?"
"No"
"Can you remember?"
"Yes!"
Looking at the little girl's coldness that rejected people thousands of miles away, and replied word by word, Yan Wen shook his head helplessly.
Yanwen knew that this Lu Xiaowu was punished by the prince to be a scholar, and knew that she was uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't care too much, and continued to explain and remind: "You also need to prepare enough paper, ink, pen, inkstone, refreshments and other items for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may need at any time...... Things are complicated, and only with heart can we do it well."
Qingtian had been giving instructions all the time, but his ears had heard the conversation between the two clearly, and he glanced at the expressionless, cold little girl, and there was no emotional expression on her face, but from that simple to simple reply, he knew that there were a thousand unwilling, ten thousand unhappy in her heart.
After explaining what should be done, Yanwen left.
Xiao Wu stood stunned by the bookshelf for a long time, glanced up at the desk, and found that the ink was almost used up, so she quietly knelt down to the side of the desk, grinding the ink quietly.
Xiao Wu's favorite skill is calligraphy, so she knows, how to grind the best ink? In fact, she once gave the demon prince Mu Bai nearly 7,000 years of ink, because she likes to use her heart, and Mu Bai has been praising that Xiao Wu's ink is just right, and the pen is the most easy to use. Later, Mu Bai only recognized Xiao Wumo's ink.
From the feel and smell of the hand, Xiao Wu knew that this was a good ink and a good inkstone, as a calligraphy lover, he loved these scholars, Xiao Wu was distracted for a while.
The crown prince Qingtian glanced at Xiao Wu in a daze, followed her eyes, and found that the little girl was concentrating on admiring her inkstone.
Qingtian remembered that the little girl's good handwriting must have been pointed out by a famous teacher, and in terms of calligraphy attainment, he knew that he was inferior. Thinking of this, Qing Tian faintly felt some jealousy in his heart, he had also practiced calligraphy with his heart, how could he not even be as good as a little girl? This fact really hurt his self-esteem.
When Xiao Wu came back to his senses and found that the ink had been ground enough, he stopped. When Yanwen was explaining just now, Xiao Wu accidentally saw that there were occasional red ink marks in the review of the table, which must be used for special marking, so she picked up the red ink on another inkstone and studied it a little.
After grinding the ink, Xiao Wu silently turned to the other side of the desk, neatly put the remaining unread music table codes, pushed them to Qingtian's hand, and put the music that Qingtian had already approved, divided into categories and key order codes into three trays.
When Prince Qingtian caught a glimpse of this, he didn't speak, but he felt that this little scholar was quite careful and discerning.
There was silence in the study, and after more than an hour, Prince Qingtian felt tired, put down the watch in his hand, looked up and saw Xiao Wu who was tidying up by the bookshelf, glanced at him, and walked to the tea table.
Qingtian pressed his hand to his eye socket and rubbed it with his eyes closed. He remembered that Yan Wu, who had gone to the demon clan to investigate during the day, came back to tell him that the jade trick should be the personal body protection magic weapon that the demon king asked for for his sister-in-law Mu Bai, and the jade trick can not only ward off evil and cure diseases, but also be a symbol of status.
Yan Wu also reported that the second prince died of illness just after he became an adult, and he had been dead for more than 3,000 years, and that the jade recipe should have been buried with him, but as for why it flowed out again, it is unknown. Some people speculate that the tomb may have been stolen, but more people believe that the jade jue should be a fake, because the emperor's tomb could not be easily stolen. But they all reminded again and again, no matter whether Yu Jue is true or not, don't take it out again, if you let Da Jingyang Palace know, it will definitely cause death.
For Lu Xiaowu's understanding, I didn't hear any news, and I didn't hear from the demon clan, and there was a report of a missing princess or noble girl at this age.
The White Deer Clan was just a small group found in the deep valley by the Witch Spirit Clan, and it was wiped out after tens of thousands of years, and few people in the Demon Clan knew about the existence of the White Deer Clan. Xiao Wu and Mu Bai's marriage contract and accompanying reading were all arranged by the Demon King in private, all of which took place within the high walls of Da Jingyang Palace, and they were all kept strictly secret, and the outside world naturally rarely knew about them. As for the saintess on Liangyi Mountain, no one will contact Xiao Wu.
Yujue's only clue was broken, and all the investigation came to an abrupt end. Who is Lu Xiaowu? Where is she from? Is the jade recipe true or false? Why does she wear men's accessories? If she is not a noblewoman, how can she read a lot of books and write exquisite and good characters? And a maid who can do kung fu to accompany her? Qingtian held his head in his hand and looked in the direction of Xiao Wu in deep thought.
Looking at the little girl's light and white appearance, no matter how you look at it, she is a member of the Celestial Clan, without a trace of a demon person, and there is no demonic energy on her body. Qingtian made up his mind in his heart that this Lu Xiaowu in front of him should not be a demon person, and that piece of jade was a fake, because in addition to the dragon pattern on the rope, the jade quality was too ordinary, not like the fine product that the emperor's family should have.
Although he was still confused, Qingtian could finally put his mind at ease and no longer need to guard against the little girl, in fact, he had been worried before, afraid that the little girl was a spy sent by the demons.
A "sizzling" sound broke Qingtian's contemplation.
Qingtian saw Xiao Wu sitting behind the tea table, the kettle on the fire was squeaking and steaming, and the girl in the water vapor was like a white lotus in the mist, elegant and noble!
Qingtian got up and sat down in front of the tea table, and saw that the little girl was still calm and relaxed, making tea as if no one was around, her expression was like an autumn breeze, her movements were like flowing clouds and water, and finally the water was fragrant, and a cup of fragrant tea was held in front of his eyes.
Qingtian picked up the cup, admired the soup, smelled the fragrance, tasted the sweet tea, reveled in the mellow tea fragrance, and the little girl's indescribable gestures.
Qingtian couldn't help but admire in his heart, "Hmm! what a fragrant tea!".
The whole study room is filled with a faint fragrance of tea, one serving tea, one tasting tea, there is no sound, and there is no eye contact, but the night is still quiet and beautiful!
After drinking tea, Optimus returned to the desk and continued to review the recital, and after being busy for more than an hour, Optimus got up and walked towards the dormitory behind the study. After walking a few steps, he paused thoughtfully, and looked back to see the little girl kneeling on the couch, packing the books that had been sorted and retained and the books that she had not read into the tray.
Qingtian lowered his eyebrows, his eyes changed several times, and finally took the lead in speaking: "After putting it away, let's go back", this was the only sentence the two of them said in one night.
Xiao Wuzheng was looking focused on tidying up, and was startled by Qingtian's words, and looked up, only to find that the prince had not gone far, and was looking back at himself, and hurriedly bowed his head in response.
Qingtian was stunned by those big shining eyes, he really didn't expect that the little girl's eyes were so beautiful!
Qingtian didn't expect that after the whipping, the little girl would be able to face him so calmly and unhurriedly, with neither resentment nor chilling fear on her face, and even turning a blind eye to his existence as a dignified prince of the Heavenly Clan.
This is really a little girl who is proud to the bone and is indeed different......
