Chapter 3: The Fire on the Other Side
When I found Lingyu, she was wearing a beautiful red hairpin on her head, and the red flame stone on it was flowing with a strange light, and it was not ordinary at first glance. She wore a hairpin and sat with her merman sisters, who I heard laughing about Lingyu before I could get closer.
"Tell me where you went to pick up such a good treasure? "What did you pick up, I think our Lingyu is a lover, and we're going to get married." I couldn't help but smile when I heard them talk, thinking that Lingyu should be in such a good mood.
They didn't even notice that I was coming, so I coughed deliberately. When they found out that I was coming, they hurriedly got up and saluted, I looked at Lingyu, her eyes dodged, and she hurriedly took off the hairpin on her head and hid it in her sleeves, and lowered her head and did not dare to look at me.
"I'll come to play with Lingyu, you all go down first. I waved my hand and sent the crowd away. Lingyu craned her neck to look at me, so I smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and sat down beside her.
"You are born white and tender, and it is very beautiful to wear this hairpin. ”
I wanted to praise her, but who knew that when I said this, Lingyu's eyes turned red. She hurriedly returned the hairpin to me, and said urgently: "I also heard what Sister A said before I knew that this hairpin should be the princess, I have no intention of snatching it with the princess, and I ask the princess not to tell Your Majesty." ”
Lingyu was about to cry when she said that, I was a little surprised, and hurriedly pulled her face and said: "When did you become so angry with me, I don't blame you, you like this hairpin and keep it, just be careful, don't let your father see it." I returned the hairpin to her, but she raised her head and pushed the hairpin back into my hand, crying and saying: "This is what Prince Liye gave to the princess, I never dare to touch half a point, I originally wanted to see enough today and return it to you tomorrow, don't embarrass me anymore." ”
I couldn't help but feel pity when I looked at Lingyu's tearful eyes and pleading, so I put away the hairpin, patted her on the back and comforted her.
"Actually, if you and the prince are in love, it's not that you don't not..." Before I could finish speaking, she raised her head again and shook it like a rattle. I saw that she was afraid that the status of Prince Liye was too high, and she should be a little scared in her heart, so I didn't say anything more, thinking that I was here now that I was afraid that it would only make her feel frightened, so I went back early.
After another two days, I was bored in the Dragon Palace, and Lingyu came to look for me and brought back the clothes I wore in the world that day from the Huanyi room. I wanted to keep her with me to relieve my boredom, but after saying two words, she kept looking out, and I thought she must have made an appointment with someone else, so I didn't embarrass her and let her go.
I was bored lying on the table, and the third brother happened to come to see me, and he laughed at me mercilessly when he saw me lying on the table like a soft shrimp.
"If you're really panicked, why don't you go to the underworld with me?" The third brother poked me with a folding fan, I looked at him with a smile on his face, but I felt that there seemed to be nothing good, I went through the appearance of the girls in the underworld in my mind, and suddenly straightened up and looked at him.
"You shouldn't have taken a fancy to Meng Po, right?" I stared at him vigilantly, for fear that he would call me to help him take the blame. The third brother glared at me, put a folding fan in the air, put it on my head and knocked it on my head, "It was the judge who invited me to drink, why do I like Meng Po, can I take a fancy to Meng Po?" I turned my head and muttered in a low voice: "People may not take a fancy to you." ”
Meng Po is actually a rare beauty in the Six Realms, but I don't know how the world always calls her an old woman. Meng Po is in charge of reincarnation matters, and I heard that although people are beautiful, their methods are ruthless, and few people in the underworld dare to provoke her.
I was idle and bored, so I went to the underworld with my third brother to drink.
The judge set up the banquet in the sea of flowers on the other side, so that he could still drink while watching the reincarnated ghosts on the Nai He Bridge. I like the beauty of the peanuts on the other side, and I listen to them chatting while admiring the flowers on the other side.
"Earlier, during the Yuan Festival, I went to the world with Xiao Hei Xiaobai, guess who I saw?" the judge took a sip of wine and said with a smile, I was a little curious, so I also turned my head to look at him, but saw that he was also looking at me with his spare eyes.
"Let me guess, is it the Peach Blossom Fairy or the Apricot Girl?" the third brother squinted slightly with the wine glass, and the fan in his hand knocked twice on the side of the table, as if he was thinking very seriously.
"Neither," the smile on the corner of the judge's mouth became thicker, he glanced at me, and pretended to be mysterious: "I saw Prince Liye." ”
Hearing him say Liye, my face sank suddenly, and the third brother immediately looked at me with a smile and a playful look, I didn't speak, and took a sip of the wine glass.
"The holy woman from the Western Regions fell in love with our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and deliberately fell into his arms from the float..."I was upset at the mention of Liye's name, and I didn't listen carefully to what he said, and stood up as soon as I slapped the table. I looked at the two of them angrily and said loudly, "Drink it, I'll play by myself." ”
After saying that, I left my third brother and left.
Although I have been to this underworld a few times, I have always followed my father or brothers, Xu was so drunk just now that my brain was a little dizzy, and I don't know where I have turned.
I only saw three people fighting from a distance, and there was fog all around, and I only saw two black and one white people shaking and shaking, which made my head hurt.
"What are you doing?!" Xu was a little irritated, and his voice couldn't help but carry a lot of anger, and the three people who roared out and shook all stopped. I went closer and found that it was black and white impermanence and a young man dressed in black.
The boy had a white face, with a stubbornness between his eyebrows, and he had brown eyes like amber, which resembled a clear lake in the mountains between his brow bones and the bridge of his thin nose.
I looked at him, and suddenly remembered the boy who was on the Shangyuan Festival that day.
He looked at me with surprise in his eyes. I saw his eyes and was curious, so I smiled and asked him, "Why do you look at me like this, have we ever met?"
He looked at me and nodded firmly.
"Oh, when?" I probably saw so many people that I couldn't remember where I had seen him for a while, and the young man looked at me stubbornly, pursed his lips but couldn't say a word.
Xiao Hei stepped forward to salute me and explained: "Fifth princess, this kid is used to deceiving people, don't be fooled." ”
After Xiao Hei finished speaking, I saw the young man glaring at Xiao Hei behind his back, I nodded at Xiao Hei, I don't have to worry too much about this underworld, I was just about to leave, but the young man said eagerly: "In Xinghuawan, you saved my life ten years ago." ”
Xinghuawan, I thought about it in my mind for a long time and I didn't have any impression, it was a stormy port, but I remember that there was indeed a very serious shipwreck in that place ten years ago.
At that time, the Water God Venerable and the Wood God Venerable had a fight over something, and it happened to be on the top of the Apricot Blossom Bay. Xinghuawan belongs to the territory under the jurisdiction of the West Sea, when the human race sacrificed and begged for help from my father, my father was busy persuading him to fight, so he asked me and my third brother and second brother to go to the world to help save people.
In the past, when my father asked me and my third brother to help those believers who were shipwrecked in the sea, the third brother always smeared oil on the soles of his feet as soon as he arrived in the world, leaving me alone to do things. And that time, the third brother didn't go to the world to find a beauty, but tried his best to save people everywhere.
I guess it was that that time that saved him.
