Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

When Xiao Yao took Jing to visit the Queen Mother in Langya Cave, she saw a white bird sitting on a branch of peach blossoms, Xiao Yao said to Jing, "This is Lie Yang." Jing saluted the white bird, and Lie Yang looked at Jing condescendingly, and said, "The Queen Mother is awake, you go in!" Jing and Xiaoyao walked into the room, and saw the Queen Mother lying on the mahogany couch, with Jun Jun and Shui Hong standing beside her with their hands down.Jing stepped forward to salute: "Junior Tu Shanjing has met the Queen Mother." The Queen Mother gave him a cold look, drinking Baihua Niang, and seemed unwilling to talk to him.

Jing knelt down: "Xiaoyao's mother entrusted Xiaoyao to the empress before going on the expedition. The empress raised Xiaoyao for seventy years and took care of her after that. Xiaoyao should do things for the empress, but Xiaoyao is mine. Wife, I cannot let her take over Yushan." The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and said displeasedly: "Do you think that the Queen Mother of Yushan will do what she says, and don't do what she says she won't do?" Xiaoyao sat beside the Queen Mother, shook her arm and said, "My good aunt and grandma, please stop teasing her!"

The Queen Mother was helpless, and said to Jing: "Get up! The female university is outgoing, and you can't keep it!" "Thank you, ma'am!" Jing kowtowed respectfully three times before standing up. Shui Hong asked depressedly: "Xiaoyao is no longer the queen mother, who will take over as the queen mother?" The queen mother glanced at Mr. Xie, and Mr. Xie said: "I have sent the blue bird to inform Bai Zhi that it should be no problem to postpone the succession ceremony for two or three days." "Bai Zhi?" Shui Hong thought for a moment, sighed lightly, nodded and said, "She is also suitable."

The Queen Mother said: "Since you have no objection, then so be it! After the succession ceremony, it will be announced to the world that Baizhi will become the Queen Mother and take over Yushan." "Yes!" Shui Hong bowed and stepped back. The Queen Mother asked Xiaoyao and Jing: "What are your future plans?" Jing looked at Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Your Majesty said, home is where the heart is at ease. The world is so big, we can always find a place outside the world for us to live in peace." The Queen Mother nodded: "As long as your heart is at ease, you can settle down everywhere. You pack up and leave!"

Xiao Yao said, "I don't want to leave, I want to..." "I know, you want to watch me die." "Ma'am, I just..." The Queen Mother raised her hand, signaling that she understood: "You want to watch me die, but I don't want you to watch me die." Both Xiaoyao and Mr. Xie couldn't hide their sadness, Xiaoyao said, "Let's stay here for a few more days." "Whatever you want! I'm tired, you..." The Queen Mother wanted Xiaoyao and Jing to leave, but Jun Jun coughed lightly, and the Queen Mother changed the subject and asked, "Do you know that Xiaoyao has Gu in her body?"

Xiao Yao's expression froze and she didn't answer, Jing said, "I know!" The Queen Mother said: "When Xiaoyao was in a coma, I discovered that there was a Gu in her body, so I helped her relieve it, do you have any objections?" Jing was ecstatic, and stammered and asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that Xiaoyao's Gu has been solved?" The Queen Mother said coldly: "You question what I said?" Jing hurriedly said: "No, no! The younger generation is just too happy!" The Queen Mother is cold-tempered and doesn't talk much, but she always keeps her word.

In Xiaoyao's heart, it's hard to tell what's going on in her heart. In fact, when Xiang Liu assassinated Zhuan Xu but killed Feng Leong, she had already paid the debt with blood, and broke up with Xiang Liuen, but she heard that the last link between the two was cut off before she knew it. Broken, still have inexplicable regret.Xiaoyao ridiculed herself, people only regarded you as a chess piece from beginning to end, why should you feel so sorry?Do you regret his ruthlessness? The Queen Mother closed her eyes wearily and waved her hand.Xiao Yao and Jing bowed to leave, and Jun Xie followed them out of the house.

Walking into the Taolin, Mr. Xie said: "There are too many things, and I haven't had time to ask who saved Jing and why it took so long to come back?" Jing told the story of the sharks in the East China Sea, and after listening to Mr. Xie, his heart moved.The Nine-Headed Demon is a sea-monster with powerful monster power. It is entirely possible to drive the Merman to do something. However, the Merman, who does not understand human language at all, and the vast sea, even if he really did it, he is so cruel that there is no trace left. . Xiao Yao asked, "Ah Yao, what's wrong with you? Why do you have such a strange expression?"

Jun Xi hurriedly said, "Nothing!" Two days later, Bai Zhi rushed to Yushan, and Yushan held a succession ceremony according to the ancient precepts, and then announced to the world that the new queen mother took over Yushan. In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Yao and Jing went to visit the Queen Mother, but were stopped by Shui Hong. Shui Hong said, "Amei is dead." After a while, Xiaoyao realized that Amei was the Queen Mother. Shui Hong said to Xiaoyao: "Don't be sad, she passed away peacefully in her sleep, with a smile on her face, I think she dreamed of the person she wanted to see."

Shui Hong said to Jing: "You have lived in Yushan for three days, please leave before dark today." Jing pulled Xiaoyao back, Xiaoyao wondered in a trance, is it because every queen mother has already cut off the mortal relationship when she takes over Yushan, so every queen mother will go so decisively? The reason Xiaoyao and Jing stayed in Yushan was for the Queen Mother, now that the Queen Mother is gone, Xiaoyao and Jing are going to leave. Lie Yang and Xie Jun came to see them off, Xiaoyao asked Lie Yang and Xie Jun: "What are your plans?" Lie Yang and Mr. Xie looked at each other, Mr. Xie said: "We are used to living in Yushan, and we don't intend to leave, how about you?"

Xiao Yao glanced at Jing and said, "We haven't discussed it yet, we should go to Qingqiu, Jing has to deal with some unfinished business." Jun Jun said: "When you set the date of marriage, notify Lie Yang and me." Jing said: "Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "Then... let's go." Jun Xie said to Jing: "Xiaoyao will leave it to you." Jing bent over to salute, as if treating her elder brother: "I will take good care of Xiaoyao." Lie Yang didn't care, and accepted it carelessly, but Mr. Xi hid aside.The level of the monster clan is strict, Mr. Xie is a fox demon, and the nine-tailed fox is the royal family of the fox family. It can be said that Mr. Xie is naturally admired when he sees Jing, but his demon power is profound and he can use spiritual power to suppress instinct. In the middle of the night, Xiao Yao and Jing arrived at Qingqiu. Xiao Yao asked: "Have a rest for one night, and go to Tushan Mansion tomorrow?" "Go now, just don't need to alarm too many people." When Xiaoyao and Jing appeared in front of Jing Ye and Hu Zhen, they were too terrified to make a sound, Jing laughed and said, "Why, aren't you happy to see me?" Jing Ye's legs went limp, and she knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably: "Young Master... Gong..." Hu Zhen gradually calmed down and saluted: "Patriarch, please sit down!" Jing smiled and said: "Change back to the previous title! I am no longer the patriarch." Xiao Yao helped Jing Ye up: "Why are you crying? Jing is back, shouldn't you be happy?" A few days ago, I don't know who wailed for half an hour.Jing glanced at Xiaoyao, clenched her hands into fists, covered her lips with a slight cough, and blocked her smile. Jing asked Hu Zhen: "How is Zhen'er?" "Okay, very good!" Hu Zhen recounted what happened after Tu Shanzhen became the patriarch, and finally said: "Although the patriarch is the son of Gongzi Hou and Fangfeng Yiying, it is probably because he has been taught by the young master. He has the demeanor of a son, and he will definitely be a good patriarch." Jing Ye had calmed down now, and added: "At first we didn't intend to tell him why the young master disappeared, but there were too many people talking, and it was inevitable that someone would say in front of him that it is better to tell him the truth than to let him guess wildly. Me and Hu Zhen After discussing, I handed the letter left by Fangfeng Yiying to him in advance, and told the patriarch everything truthfully. After the patriarch knew his life experience, he felt uncomfortable for a long time. I was worried that he hated the young master, but I didn't expect him to say: 'Uncle and mother did something wrong', and said, 'If it wasn't for coming to see me, Daddy would not have disappeared'. Until now, the patriarch still refuses to call Mr. Hou Daddy, and has always called him Uncle, and the son is Daddy." Jing said: "Everything in life is empty. You usually look for opportunities to tell him about the things about the eldest brother when he was young, and also tell more about the past that our brothers did not oppose the present, so that he can understand that there is a reason for what the elder brother does. It is his grandma." Do something wrong first." Jing Ye hated Hou deeply at first, and she didn't want to mention him at all, but now that Jing returned safely, her hatred faded, and she replied, "Your servant understands." Hu Zhen heard Jing's implication, and asked: "Why didn't you tell the patriarch the son? Is the son leaving Qingqiu?" Jing smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you all tonight." Jing Ye's tears were about to come out again, Hu Zhen asked: "Where do you want to go, my lord?" Jing looked at Xiaoyao, smiled and said, "I will go wherever Xiaoyao goes." Hu Zhen wanted to say something, but now that Tu Shan's family is safe and well, Zhen can also take on a big responsibility... Thinking of Jing and Xiaoyao's hardships and pains along the way, Hu Zhen swallowed all the words to persuade her to stay. Jing handed the two jade slips to Hu Zhen: "Give a letter to Zhen'er, and a letter to the elder." Hu Zhen put it away carefully: "Don't worry, son, we will definitely protect the patriarch to grow up safely." Jing took Xiaoyao's hand and stood up. Jing Ye cried and said, "Master, you...you..." Jing laughed and said: "I'm already married, why do I still cry so much? Hu Zhen, please persuade your wife!" Jing turned to leave, but Jing Ye called out: "My lord, wait a minute." Jing Ye knew very well that there would be no day of meeting again after this farewell, "My lord, the servant will no longer be able to serve you, let the servant kowtow to you three times. " Jing Ye knelt down and kowtowed to Jing while crying, the kindness of taking care of her when she was young, the kindness of protecting and teaching her for many years... Without Jing, there would be no her today. After Jingye kowtowed three times, Jing nodded to Hu Zhen with a smile, took Xiaoyao's hand, and went out the door, with her clothes fluttering in the air, she had already gone away. Jing Ye cried and chased after him: "Young master...Young master..." I saw only the dark sky, the bright moon in the sky, a white crane carrying two people, flying towards the moon, flying higher and higher, farther and farther away, a gust of wind passed by, and the traces Suddenly, only the bright moon is silent, and the clear brilliance sprinkles all over the earth. At noon on the second day, Xiao Yao and Jing arrived at Xuanyuan City. Baidi is not in Xuanyuan Mountain, Xiaoyao wants to go directly to the iron shop to find Baidi.Jing grabbed her: "Find an inn first, wash up, rest for a night, and go to see His Majesty Baidi tomorrow." Xiao Yao asked, "Why?" Jing seemed a little shy, and said in a low voice: "Clean up and go to see your father-in-law." Xiaoyao suppressed a smile and nodded: "It makes sense, if you keep on your way, you will inevitably get a little bit of travel dust, which is really detrimental to your demeanor." Jing dragged Xiaoyao into the inn. The two had a good night's rest, and the next day they dressed neatly before going to the blacksmith shop in Gouwei Lane. Early in the morning, the street was already bustling with people, and it was very lively, but walking into the dilapidated Gouwei Alley, the doors of every household were still closed, which was a bit deserted. Jing stepped forward to knock on the door, and Miao Pu's voice came from inside: "Who is it? Come to strike iron so early? Come back later!" Xiaoyao made a "shh" gesture to Jing, didn't say anything, just knocked heavily on the door.I thought that Miao Pu would not be able to take it anymore, so he rushed out and opened the door, just in time to startle her, but unexpectedly, a silent figure suddenly fell from the roof and flew towards Xiaoyao, Jing and Xiaoyao were startled.Jing immediately held Xiaoyao in her arms with one hand, and attacked the person coming with the other, trying to force him back. Xiao Yao hurriedly blocked Jing, and shouted: "Left ear! Stop!" The visitor stopped immediately, and Jing withdrew her spiritual power. Before Xiaoyao had time to introduce each other to Jing and Zuo Er, Miao Pu rushed over, hugged Xiaoyao and cried, Xiaoyao hurriedly comforted her: "Don't cry, you don't cry..." Finally, Miao Pu calmed down a little. When she looked up and saw Jing, she was so frightened that she let out a scream and rushed to her left ear, not forgetting to grab Xiaoyao.Xiaoyao has low spiritual power and can only be at the mercy of Miao Pu.Miao Pu pushed Xiaoyao to the left ear and behind him, leaning on the left ear, he had the confidence to look at Jing, and asked tremblingly, "You...you...who are you?" Jing smiled and said, "Who do you think I could be?" "Master Jing? Are you alive?" Xiaoyao knocked on Miao Pu's head: "Just like you, you used to be a secret guard? I really don't know how you passed the selection back then?" Xiaoyao walked back to Jing's side, took Jing's hand, Zuo Er said: "He is Jing." Zuo Er had already inspected Jing from head to toe, and said blankly: "You're not dead, that's good!" He turned around and entered the yard, obviously without any intention of greeting. Xiao Yao made a face at Jing: "You don't need my introduction, you should have guessed who he is by now." The four of them walked into the main room, and Baidi was already sitting in the main seat. When he saw Jing, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, let alone be surprised. Jing and Xiaoyao stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed three times, Jing said: "Your Majesty is worried about the junior's safe return." Baidi nodded: "I'm fine, you made Xiaoyao suffer." Jing said nervously: "The junior understands." Bai Di said: "It's good that you understand, and make up for it slowly in the future!" Jing's nervousness dissipated, and said: "The junior must do it!" "Get up!" Jing and Xiaoyao stood up and sat down. Xiaoyao saw that Baidi had been ignoring her, and asked with a playful smile, "Father, what skills did you teach Zuo Er?" Baidi said coldly: "You have decided that I can't leave Xuanyuan Mountain, one or two are trying to fool me. Why did you suddenly send the two of them to my side? You have repeatedly told me that they are not allowed to leave within ten years ? Besides, why did Zhuan Xu secretly go to Guixu all of a sudden?Also, why did Zhuanxu say you were unwell?Within a month, Zhuanxu went to Jade Mountain twice, what is the reason for this abnormality? " Xiao Yao opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.It's not that she doesn't trust her father, but she just doesn't want to tell her father what Zhuanxu has done, this is between Zhuanxu and her, even if she is as close as her father, she doesn't want to tell. Jing fully understood Xiaoyao's thoughts, and said, "Xiaoyao, go talk to Zuo Er and Miao Pu, and I will have a private talk with Your Majesty." "Okay!" Xiaoyao felt relieved, and Zuo Er.Miao Pu went out of the house and went to the kitchen. While watching Miao Po cooking breakfast, he listened to Miao Po talking about their life during these days. After Miao Pu's breakfast was ready, Jing and Baidi had finished talking.Baidi no longer spoke coldly to Xiaoyao.Xiao Yao quietly tugged on Jing's sleeve, moved her lips, and asked silently, "Did you tell Father the truth?" Jing smiled, didn't speak, and scooped up a bowl of soup for Xiaoyao. After finally holding back the meal, someone happened to be blacksmithing. When Baidi went to the front to greet the business, Xiao Yao hurriedly asked Jing: "Did you tell the truth to the father?" "Of course not! Since you don't want people to know, how can I say?" Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if you don't tell me." Then, Xiaoyao became puzzled again, "Since you didn't tell the truth, why didn't your father pursue it?" "I told my father, everything has already happened, since Xiaoyao and I are safe and sound now, there is no need to ask about the past, but to work hard to remain safe in the future'." "With just such a sentence, the father didn't ask anything?" Jing said: "Xiaoyao, Your Majesty is only forging iron now, not before. Your Majesty should have already guessed many things. When he questioned you just now, he didn't really want to know anything. He was probably just sad. What happened so much? It's so troublesome, you didn't even think about asking him for help." "Didn't I entrust Zuo Er and Miao Pu to his care?" Jing stared at Xiaoyao without speaking. Xiaoyao lowered her head guiltily: "I know my father, Lie Yang, and Ah Yao are all very kind to me, but that's between me and Zhuanxu, I don't want anyone to interfere!" Jing lowered her head and gently kissed Xiaoyao's forehead: "We don't blame you, we just love you." Xiao Yao hugged Jing's waist: "I understand." After the two hugged each other quietly for a while, Xiaoyao asked: "You only said one word to make my father stop being angry with me, but you have been chatting for so long, what are you talking about?" Jing smiled and said: "I thought you wouldn't ask. What do you think can make us chat with a man for a long time?" "I?" "clever!" Xiaoyao frowned: "I always feel that you have bad intentions, hurry up and tell what you said honestly!" "We are talking, when can I change my name to Your Majesty's father?" Xiaoyao's face was flushed red, but she pretended to be talking about something serious, and asked solemnly, "Then did you come to a conclusion?" Jing scraped Xiaoyao's cheeks twice, and said solemnly: "The color on this cheek is nice, but it's not enough to dye the wedding dress." Xiaoyao couldn't hold back any longer, burst out laughing, covered her face with one hand in shame, and beat Jing with the other in annoyance: "Hurry up! If you don't tell me, I'll leave! Who cares to listen?" Jing held her fist and said: "I have no father, no mother, no power, no power, nothing but my own body, and you only have a few relatives. I discussed with His Majesty, and four days later, it was Ji Chen who was in Chaoyun Feng holds a small wedding, do you think it's okay?" Xiao Yao burst into tears, nodded: "Okay!" Four days later, Mount Xuanyuan. The hillside is overgrown with wild grass and wild flowers, and six tombs are located among them. Xiaoyao walked up the hillside slowly along the winding mountain path.Standing among the colorful wildflowers, she looked at the tomb for a while, and then she seemed to muster up her courage and walked towards the tomb. Xiaoyao knelt in front of Leizu's tomb: "Grandma, I'm here to see you." While wiping the tombstone, she said, "Grandma, I'm getting married, and I wanted to bring him with me, but my father said that we can't meet before the salute. I'll bring him to see you tomorrow." Xiaoyao pulled the weeds silently, unknowingly, tears rolled down.From childhood to adulthood, every time I sacrificed, I was with Zhuanxu.There is someone by your side who can share everything, even if you are sad, you will not feel very painful.This was the first time she came alone, and many long-standing memories flooded into her mind—— When grandma was dying, mother and uncle stayed by grandma's couch all night. Aunt Zhuyu let them share the couch for the convenience of taking care of her and Zhuanxu.Although Xiaoyao knew vaguely that her grandma was dead, she had never experienced life and death, and had no deep feeling for death.However, Zhuanxu witnessed his mother's suicide, and he was raised by his grandmother's side since he was born, and he has a deep relationship with her.His fear and sorrow are far stronger than Xiaoyao's, and he often wakes up at night, for fear that his grandma will leave while he is asleep.After Zhuanxu woke up, he couldn't fall asleep again, sometimes it was unintentional, sometimes it was intentional, anyway Xiaoyao would be woken up by him.Xiaoyao has long been used to it. Every time she wakes up, she imitates her mother's way of coaxing herself to sleep, hugs Zhuanxu, pats him on the back, is so sleepy that she can't open her eyelids, but she will hum and chirp indiscriminately. ballad. That night, Zhuanxu woke up again, and after getting dressed, he shook Xiaoyao awake: "Grandma is going to die." He took Xiaoyao's coat and wanted to help her dress. Xiaoyao wanted to sleep, so she shrank into the quilt: "Don't have nightmares, I will sing for you." Zhuanxu said: "Good boy, don't go to sleep! You have to dress up and go to see grandma for the last time, and tell grandma not to worry. From now on..." Zhuanxu said with tears streaming down her face. Xiaoyao hurriedly sat up, put on her clothes, and said, "Don't cry, I'll just get up." Xiaoyao made Zhuanxu's face ashamed, "You have so many tears, look at me, I never cry !" Zhuan Xu turned his face away awkwardly, and Xiao Yao hurriedly said flatteringly, "As long as God knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, I won't tell anyone!" Just as Xiaoyao was fully dressed, Aunt Zhuyu rushed in, intending to wake them up, but unexpectedly saw two people standing in front of the door, holding hands.Aunt Zhuyu didn't have time to think about it, she pulled them away and said, "We're going to see the queen, please remember, no matter what the queen says later, you must listen carefully and remember it firmly." Entering grandma's room, my mother and uncle picked up one each, and put her and Zhuanxu on both sides of grandma's body. Grandma put Xiaoyao's and Zhuanxu's hands together: "You two are good children, but you are also hard-fated children. No matter how the world treats you, you are the closest people to each other. No matter what happens, you must stay together." Never give up, take care of each other. In this world, as long as there is one person who can rely on and trust, no matter how difficult the hurdle is, it will always be over. " After the grandma finished speaking, she coughed violently, and her skinny hands held Zhuanxu and Xiaoyao tightly.Xiaoyao thought that if she died, she would fall asleep and never wake up again. From then on, grandma would never tell her stories again, and would never help Zhuanxu when she annoyed her... Xiaoyao burst into tears, and shouted : "Grandma, I don't want you to die, I don't want you to die..." At this time, Zhuanxu didn't have a single tear, and he was as calm as an adult, and said to his grandma, "I remember what grandma said." Grandma stared at Xiaoyao, waiting for her answer, but Xiaoyao didn't understand what grandma said just now, she just cried, "Grandma, don't die, don't die..." Grandma wanted to tell her again, but she coughed so hard that she couldn't speak in full. Zhuan Xu was in a hurry and twisted Xiaoyao's ear hard. Xiaoyao covered her ears in pain and stopped crying.Zhuanxu stared at her, and said clearly, "Grandma said, 'We are all poor children, no matter what the world treats us, we are the closest people to each other, no matter what happens, we must never leave and take care of each other ', do you remember?" Xiao Yao held tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry any more, so she nodded. Zhuanxu said, "Tell grandma again." Xiaoyao repeated Zhuanxu's words, grandma grabbed their hands, stared at them, seemed to have a thousand words to say, and finally just coughed and said to Zhuanxu: "Zhuanxu, don't let people bully Xiaoyao in the future, protect Xiaoyao .” Zhuan Xu solemnly agreed: "I will remember, I will protect my sister!" Xiao Yao snorted dissatisfied.Zhuanxu couldn't beat her in a fight, obviously she would protect Zhuanxu and prevent others from bullying Zhuanxu! Grandma asked Aunt Zhuyu to lead them out, leaving Mother to talk to the uncle. After Xiaoyao and Zhuanxu stood outside for a while, they heard the cries of their uncle, Zhuanxu ignored Aunt Zhuyu's obstruction, and dragged Xiaoyao into the house.Xiaoyao saw her grandma sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. Zhuan Xu knelt down straight, without a single tear, and stubbornly pursed his lips. Xiaoyao called grandma several times, but couldn't hear the answer, so she burst into tears... A hand suddenly stretched out to help Xiaoyao clean up the remaining weeds.Xiaoyao raised her head, her eyes blurred with tears, she saw Zhuanxu. His expression was calm, and his thin lips were tightly pressed together, just like when he was a child.For a moment, Xiaoyao felt sad, supported her grandmother's tombstone, and burst into tears. Zhuanxu lowered his head and pulled the weeds quickly until all the weeds were pulled out. He walked to Xiaoyao's side and twisted Xiaoyao's ears: "Okay, don't cry! If you keep crying, grandma thinks you are being raped." I force you to marry me!" Xiaoyao covered her aching ears and stared blankly at Zhuanxu. Zhuanxu turned his face away, went to the uncle's grave and knelt down, kowtowed three times to the uncle, and kowtowed three times to the dogwood next to the tomb.Immediately afterwards, he began to clear the weeds.Xiaoyao wiped away her tears, walked over, knelt down and kowtowed, and wiped the tombstone after kowtowing. The two were doing their own thing, and neither of them spoke.Xiaoyao sneaked a few glances at Zhuanxu, but Zhuanxu didn't even lift his eyelids. After cleaning the tombs of his uncle and his mother, Zhuanxu went to clean the tomb of his second uncle.Xiao Yao followed, first kowtowed to her second uncle, and then wiped the tombstone. After Xiaoyao finished wiping the tombstone, she sat cross-legged on the ground, while Zhuan Xu was still bending over with his head down, cleaning up the weeds. Biting her lips, Xiao Yao asked, "That night, how did you know that grandma was leaving?" After that night, there was so much sorrow and commotion, one parting after another, Xiao Yao forgot to ask. Zhuanxu said: "I don't know, I just woke up suddenly, feeling flustered and palpitations, as if nothing is right. The first time I felt this way, after dawn, I heard my aunt say that my father died in battle. The second time When I felt this way, my mother committed suicide not long after." "So that's how it is." After cleaning the second uncle's tomb, Zhuan Xu went to the tomb where his father and mother were buried together, and knelt down. Xiaoyao went to the stream and brought back a bucket of water, but Zhuanxu still knelt in front of the tomb without saying a word. Xiaoyao knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Zhuanxu and I have come to see you again." After speaking, Xiaoyao twisted the handkerchief to wipe the tombstone, Zhuanxu said, "I'll come!" Xiao Yao handed him the handkerchief, sat on the ground, and watched Zhuan Xu carefully wipe the tombstone.I heard that when the fourth aunt committed suicide, blood was sprinkled around the tomb, so there are no weeds on this tomb, only red flowers blooming all over the tomb. After wiping the tombstone, Zhuan Xu kowtowed three times, and said, "Mother, I don't hate you anymore. You said that one day, when I meet a woman who can let me send Ruomuhua, I will be able to understand your actions. I have already I met her. You also said that when I meet her, I must bring her here to show you and dad, I brought her here, I think you and dad will definitely like her. " Zhuanxu looked back at Xiaoyao: "Come here!" Xiaoyao's whole body was stiff, and she asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?" Zhuan Xu spread out his palm, and there was a red flower in the palm. The stamen was long and the petals were gorgeous. The whole flower was delicate and beautiful, as if it had just been plucked from the branch.This is the Ruomu flower produced by Ruomu, the god tree of the Ruomu tribe. Since ancient times, either the patriarch of the Ruoshui tribe or the wife of the patriarch has worn it.Xiaoyao remembered that the fourth aunt had always had this flower in her bun, and she handed it to Zhuanxu until the day she committed suicide. Zhuanxu said: "Xiaoyao, come here, let my parents see you clearly." Not only did Xiaoyao not go over, but she put her hands on the ground and started to back away.Zhuan Xu said flatly: "If you want to cancel the wedding later, just go." Xiaoyao clenched her fist unwillingly, kneeled to Zhuanxu's side, and glared at Zhuanxu. Zhuanxu sized her up, put the Ruomu flower hairpin on her bun, and nodded with a smile: "It's beautiful! Mother, what do you think?" Just as Xiaoyao was about to open her mouth, Zhuanxu held her head down: "Kowtow!" Originally they were uncle and aunt, Xiaoyao didn't resist, knelt side by side with Zhuanxu, kowtowed three times respectfully together.After kowtowing, Xiaoyao felt a little weird, she and Zhuanxu were like a couple kowtowing and saluting at a wedding. Xiaoyao asked, "Zhuanxu, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhuan Xu ignored her, got up straight, walked to the tomb of his aunt's clothes, and began to clean the tomb. Xiaoyao wanted to pull out the Ruomuhua and throw it away, but it was the only relic of her aunt... Xiaoyao didn't dare at all, and she didn't want to.She rushed to Zhuanxu's side, perhaps because she was much more courageous in front of her mother's grave, and said loudly, "Zhuanxu, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb! What do you want? Today, in front of my mother, your mother, and the In front of grandma and uncle, let's speak clearly!" Zhuan Xu glanced at her lightly: "Wait until I finish cleaning my aunt's tomb." Xiaoyao immediately silenced the flags and drums, sat down obediently, looked at Zhuanxu, feeling very upset. After pulling out the weeds and wiping the tombstone, Zhuan Xu dug a deep hole by the side of the tomb and buried a knife in it. Xiao Yao couldn't help asking, "What did you bury?" "The weapon your father used was called the Chi You Sword. Many people who hated your father beat you to death in order to snatch this magical weapon. I ordered someone to bring it and bury it with my aunt's clothes. You will worship it later. At this time, there is finally a sustenance." Xiaoyao was moved, but didn't say anything. Zhuanxu repaired the tomb with spiritual power, waved to Xiaoyao, motioned her to come over. Xiaoyao knelt in front of the tomb, Zhuanxu also knelt down and said, "Auntie, Uncle, today Xiaoyao will marry Tu Shanjing, don't worry, he is not bad, he will take good care of Xiaoyao." Xiaoyao looked at Zhuanxu in surprise, and Zhuanxu said flatly, "Aren't you going to kowtow to your parents?" Xiaoyao and Zhuanxu knelt side by side and kowtowed three times to their parents. Xiaoyao got up and was about to rush back to change clothes. She touched the Ruomu flower on her head and wanted to take it off. Zhuanxu said: "This flower is yours now, keep it carefully, it is not only a magic weapon, but also a token of the Ruoshui tribe, at any time, with this flower, you can mobilize the Ruoshui tribe's troops." Xiaoyao's heart softened, her expression softened a lot, and she said, "Brother, you...you...are you here to drink wedding wine and bless me, or...or...you know that auntie wants you to take this flower Give it to my wife..." Zhuanxu asked: "Do you want to marry Tu Shanjing smoothly?" Xiaoyao took a look at her relative's tomb, and said cheerfully, "I want to!" "Just promise me one thing, after today, I'll be just your brother." Xiaoyao immediately said: "I agree!" After the words came out, she beat her head in frustration, and hurriedly changed her words: "What do you want to do first?" Zhuanxu said: "I will wear this Ruomu flower all my life." It's that simple?Xiaoyao touched the flowers on her bun, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, I promise you!" Zhuanxu said: "Later, you are not allowed to take it off at the wedding ceremony!" Xiao Yao frowned: "Don't bully people too much!" "Who told me that I am the king of the world? I have made the biggest concession!" Zhuan Xu's tone was calm, his face expressionless. Xiaoyao stomped her feet and said angrily, "Just wear it! I'll treat it as a gift from my aunt!" Zhuanxu smiled: "It's up to you! Anyway, you have to wear it all the time!" Xiaoyao looked at the sun: "Auspicious day is coming, I have to go back quickly!" She strode away, she had already run a long way, but she turned around and ran back in a hurry, running in front of Zhuanxu, Panting for breath, he asked, "From now on, you will still be my elder brother, the elder brother that grandma told me to do?" "yes!" "You keep your word?" Zhuan Xu glanced over the six tombs: "Do I dare to say nothing?" Xiaoyao grinned, wanting to laugh, but tears fell, she stretched out her little finger, Zhuanxu also stretched out her little finger, and they hooked each other.When they were young, when two troublemakers wanted to secretly do something bad together, they would hook their fingers and make oaths. Xiaoyao wiped her tears, turned around and ran, shouting as she ran, "Zhuanxu, don't be late!" Zhuan Xu watched Xiaoyao disappear into the valley, and looked away. Zhuan Xu looked at the six tombs on the hillside - his and Xiao Yao's relatives.At this moment, Zhuan Xu completely believed what Feng Long said before he died. Jing is indeed the one who came up with the conspiracy of "She Xuanyuan Mountain and Occupy Shennong Mountain". He knew that if there is another place in the world where Xiao Yao can get married The place must be Xuanyuan Mountain. On this mountain, there are all the happy memories of that little Zhuanxu and his sister Xiaoyao; here, the happy and carefree little Zhuanxu lost his father overnight, witnessed his mother committing suicide, and watched his grandma die sadly. Reluctantly sending his aunt to the battle; also here, the lonely and helpless little Zhuanxu watched Xiaoyao being sent away. Xuanyuan Mountain was so big, but there was no place to keep Xiaoyao. He didn't blame others, only blamed himself for being too weak. When the news of his aunt's death came, he knelt down in front of his grandma and his parents' graves all night. He knew Xiaoyao would be very sad and scared, so he wanted to take Xiaoyao back and stay with her day and night, just like her. It was the same as being with him.However, he saw killing intent in Uncle Wang's eyes, he finally understood what Auntie said, he couldn't take care of Xiaoyao. That very night, he swore to himself, to all his dead relatives, that he would never lose his last one again!He wants to be strong, so strong that no one can hurt his only relative, he will go to Yushan to pick up Xiaoyao, and he will protect and take care of her! Life is so ironic, he set out on the road in order not to lose Xiaoyao, but when he crossed mountains and rivers and went through all kinds of hardships to the end of the road, he lost her! Zhuanxu said softly to his and Xiaoyao's relatives: "I'm sorry, I can't keep the promise I made back then! I have to let another man protect and take care of our Xiaoyao! His name is Tu Shanjing, he is kind-hearted and wise. People, put your heart and soul into Xiaoyao, entrust Xiaoyao to him, you will not be disappointed, you can rest assured!" The breeze is gentle, and the surrounding fields are silent. Although the wild flowers are colorful, they can hardly hide the loneliness and desolation. For thousands of years, conspiracies, seizures, wars, assassinations... all relatives have turned into bones.But, no matter what, he and Xiaoyao survived, not only survived, but also lived very well! Zhuan Xu turned around, with a calm posture and firm footsteps, and walked towards the sunny mountain path. Miao Pu finally helped Xiaoyao tidy up her wedding dress, and praised: "It's beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Xiaoyao looked at herself in the water mirror, exhaled, and laughed at herself, "It's the third time I'm wearing a wedding dress!" Miao Pu smiled and said, "Everything will go well this time!" Xiao Yao asked, "Do you know who you invited?" Miao Pu shook his head: "Your Majesty and Young Master are both very mysterious. I can only tell that there must not be many guests, because the food and wine prepared in the kitchen does not exceed ten people." Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." The sound of joy sounded, and the maid came to urge the bride. Miao Pu put on a phoenix crown for Xiaoyao, with necklaces hanging down and jewels shining, Xiaoyao's face is faintly visible. Miao Pu walked slowly with Xiaoyao supported. When she quickly entered the hall, Xiao Yao felt someone standing beside her, but she couldn't turn her head to look, she was nervous, and felt that someone gently shook her hand through her sleeve. It's Jing!Xiao Yao let go of her heart and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. The two walked into the main hall of Chaoyun Palace side by side.Across the curtain, Xiaoyao saw the Yellow Emperor sitting in the center, the White Emperor sitting slightly below the left side of the Yellow Emperor, and Zhuanxu sitting further below the right side of the Yellow Emperor.Under Zhuanxu's head, sits Anian.Ah Yao and Lie Yang sat on the lower head of Baidi. Xiao Yao was stunned, and in disregard of etiquette, she raised the flap of the phoenix crown and blurted out, "Grandfather, why are you here?" Huang Di pretended to be displeased and said, "What do you mean I'm here too? You don't welcome me?" "No... no, of course not! It's just that I thought you couldn't come when Zhuanxu came. I was still very sorry..." Huang Di laughed and said, "Zhuanxu and I will leave separately. I'll go back immediately after seeing you perform the salute. It's okay." Looking at the spectacle of the three emperors gathering in front of her, Xiaoyao felt weird and happy at the same time. The ceremonial officer began to sing the lyrics.Following the libretto, Xiao Yao and Jing saluted together. First worship, worship heaven and earth. The second obeisance, obeisance to the elder, Xiao Yao and Jing knelt down and kowtowed their heads, Huang Di and Bai Di Xu raised their hands to signal them to stand up. The third obeisance, new couples obeisance to each other.小夭这才真正能看到璟，她却又不好意思看了，一直垂着眼睛， 礼官高声宣布，礼成。 小夭晕乎乎，她和璟已经成了夫妻？那下面该做什么？ 侍者和侍女开始上酒菜。 白帝说：“待会儿黄帝陛下和颛顼都要离开，就不要拘泥于俗礼了。小夭、璟，你们都坐过来。” 璟帮小夭摘下凤冠，拉着小夭的手，坐在了白帝下首。 璟斟了酒，和小夭一起敬黄帝。敬完黄帝，又敬白帝，两位陛下都笑着饮了。 去给颛顼敬酒时，小夭有点紧张，颛顼和璟都若无其事。 璟恭敬地敬酒，颛顼端起酒，对璟说：“我用了你的计策，你夺了我的至宝，也算互不相欠。” 颛顼一饮而尽，璟躬身行礼：“谢陛下。” 小夭给颛顼敬酒，好似有很多话要说，却又无从说起，小夭索性一仰脖子，先干为敬。颛顼将酒饮尽，祝福小夭和璟：“夫妻结同心，恩爱到白头。” 小夭愣愣地看着颛顼，她能听出，颛顼是真心实意祝福她和璟。 颛顼温和地说：“只有你安好，我的天下才会有意义。” 小夭眼眶发酸，哽咽着说：“你……你……也要安好！” 小夭拉着璟走到烈阳和獙君面前。 璟行礼，獙君立即站起，想避开，小夭按住了獙君，璟说道：“我是以小夭夫婿的身份给两位兄长行礼。” 獙君只得站着，勉强接受了璟的礼。烈阳却是大马金刀地坐着，高傲坦然地接受了璟和小夭的行礼敬酒。 獙君饮完酒，微笑着对小夭说：“你爹和你娘一定很开心。” 小夭和璟走到阿念面前，阿念忙站了起来。 小夭打趣道：“虽然你是王后，可今儿是家宴，你最小，应该你给我和璟敬酒！” 阿念笑瞅了一眼璟，对小夭说：“姐姐、姐夫，你们这杯敬酒，我是吃定了！” 小夭斟了酒，璟给阿念敬酒，阿念笑饮了，说道：“祝姐姐姐夫永结同心，白头偕老！” 阿念倒了一杯酒，经给小夭，话里有话地说：“当年你打了我一顿，给了我两条路选择，我们谁都没想到，最后竟走了第三条路！你是个好姐姐，对我一直维护照顾，我也可以坦然地说，我是个好妹妹。” 小夭笑着听完后，并未多想，接过酒盅，一口饮尽了酒。 等小夭、璟敬完酒，黄帝和颛顼略微吃了点菜，就准备动身，赶回神农山。 一行人送着他们出了殿门，小夭突然叫道：“哥哥，能单独和你说几句话吗？” 其他人都走在了前面，颛顼和小夭落在后面。 小夭说：“听说，在蓐收猛烈的攻势下，共工的军队节节败退。” 颛顼道：“倾举国之力攻打弹丸之地，胜利是肯定的，只是以何种代价而已。本来我想以最小的代价，可丰隆的死逼得我只能不惜代价。” 小夭说：“哥哥，你……你……能不能放过相柳？” 颛顼很意外，说道：“他杀了丰隆，难道你不想为丰隆报仇？” “杀了他也不能让丰隆复生。” 颛顼若有所思地盯着小夭。 小夭说：“我知道你很为难。但我从未求过让你为难的事，这是我第一次求你，也是最后一次。” “相柳就是防风邶，对吗？”颛顼看似是在问小夭，神情却很笃定。 小夭也不想隐瞒，沉默地点点头。 “原来如此！难怪我一直觉得有些事很奇怪，现在终于全想通了。难道你们现在还有交往？” “我们已经恩断义绝，我此生此世永不会再见他，他也绝不会想再见我！但不管他如何对我，我……我还是希望他能活着。” 颛顼叹了口气：“相柳杀了丰隆，我必须给赤水氏和神农氏一个交代！否则不能安抚中原氏族！不过，只要相柳肯放弃，我可以给他一次消失的机会。” 消失并不等于死亡，颛顼已是答应了她所求，小夭笑道：“谢谢哥哥。” “你先别谢我，爷爷和我曾多次招降相柳，我甚至允诺随便他提条件，可他依旧不肯背叛共工。其实，一直以来，都不是我不肯放过他，而是他不肯放过我。如果他执意要决一死战，我也不可能让蓐收他们冒着生命危险退让！他的命是命，所有将士的命也是命！” 小夭咬了咬唇，低声道：“我明白。” 颛顼拍了拍小夭的肩膀，说道：“他有他的选择，你已做了你所能做的，也算对得起你们相交一场了！不管结果如何，你都可以将一切忘记了！” Xiao Yao nodded. 颛顼登上了云辇，小夭叮嘱：“你保重！” 颛顼凝视着她髻上的若木花，平静地说：“我一定会的！”我不仅仅是为了自己，也是为了小夭，他对璟笑了笑，“小夭就交给你了！” 璟弯身行礼：“请陛下放心！” 颛顼关上了车门，吩咐潇潇：“起驾！” 云辇腾空而起。 小夭目送着黄帝和颛顼各乘各的云辇，各带各的侍卫，各自赶回神农山，这就是帝王，纵使血脉相连、互相信任，却不得不各自走各自的路，就好像只有燕雀才成群结伴，雄鹰从来都独自飞翔。 小夭轻叹了口气，从今往后，神农山就远离了她的生活，她不再是承欢于黄帝膝下的孙女，也不再是陪颛顼携手而行的妹妹。小夭看了看身旁的璟，头轻轻靠在了他的肩头，从今往后，她是他的妻！
