- After bathing, seeing that it was still early, Xizhi asked someone to move the soft couch to the window, and leaned lazily on it, letting the girls twist her hair.
Yingyue excitedly carried over a large makeup box, rummaged through the gifts she received today and showed them to Xizhi, exclaiming in surprise from time to time. Xi Zhi was bored and had no intention to care about these things. He only felt that his eyes were full of gold and jade, which was very eye-catching.
He waved his hands irritably and said, "I'm too lazy to take care of this. Just take it aside and count it first. I'm tired today and just want to be clean."
When Yingyue saw that her expression was wrong, she quickly put the makeup box back obediently, and asked carefully with a smile on her face: "I also know that Miss is tired today, but there is something that must be said."
Xizhi knew that Yingyue was always the most observant person, and she was obviously in a bad mood at this time. She would not talk about it if it was not an important matter, so she nodded slightly to her and motioned for her to continue.
"That's it. My aunt sent someone to bring a gift at noon. Because the hairpin ceremony was being held at that time, I didn't tell you." Yingyue also understands the position of Nianjing in Xi Zhi's heart. If this matter is not mentioned today, You will definitely be blamed later.
After hearing this, Xizhi's tight little face finally broke out into a smile. As a monk, her aunt would definitely not come to attend her hair-raising ceremony, but her gift would definitely be delivered. This was something she had always wanted to do. As expected, I just ignored the matter because of my mood swings today.
Yingyue handed over a small sandalwood box at the right moment. Xizhi was slightly startled and reached out to take it. She knew this box. When she was a child, she would occasionally see her aunt staring at it in a daze, or even crying. Xizhi knew that the things inside must be of great significance to her aunt. Unexpectedly, my aunt would give it to me today.
With a wave of her hand, Xizhi asked the girls to go out, stroking the small sandalwood box alone. Although this box is made of precious small-leaf red sandalwood, the carving is not exquisite. It is very simple and the technique is not skillful. It looks like it was done by an apprentice. On the lid of the box, the word "Ü·" is carved neatly and clearly, and it is obviously very carefully carved, and the care is evident in every stroke.
Xi Zhi played with it repeatedly, secretly guessing in her mind that this was probably a gift given by Prince Jing to her aunt, so her aunt cherished it so much. When she opened it, she found a jade phoenix tail hairpin inside, but it looked like it was made by everyone. The tail is vivid and elegant, and even the feathers are painted lifelike.
My aunt's maiden name was changed to Qian Yu. Prince Jing probably saw that this hairpin coincided with the word "Yu", so he thought about giving it to his aunt. Then he took the trouble to carve a box himself and engraved the word "Qian Yu", so that his aunt's name was changed to "Qian Yu". The name is embedded in it. It can also be seen from this that Prince Jing had a deep affection for his aunt back then. No wonder her aunt was also so sad.
Xizhi carefully put away the sandalwood box. Such a gift was too precious. Although her aunt was willing to give it away, she had to keep it well for her. Perhaps, this was the last thought Prince Jing left for her aunt.
Looking at the fading glow outside the window, Xizhi's heart sank a little bit. Today, her aunt and grandfather finally made it clear that they were preparing to send her to the palace. And she had already guessed that they should have reached an agreement to marry Prince Mu Li as his concubine, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have thought of it.
A Queen Mother Lin will make the Lin family once again glorious. If there is another Queen Mother Lin, then the Lin family will become the most powerful one in the world. Thinking of Mu Li, Xi Zhi actually didn't dislike him at all. He was very kind to her when we met several times, but I'm afraid it's hard to say that about Empress Yan.
¡°And there are probably not a few people in the palace who want to climb up to the position of crown princess. Thinking of what happened to her last time in the palace, Xi Zhi felt bored. If she was asked to live in fear all day long, she would definitely not do it. But if you engage in scheming and conspiracy, or even take the initiative to harm others, in order to protect yourself or obtain greater benefits, just thinking about such days makes people feel desperate.
However, the quarrel between Concubine Yi and Prince Jin today should have been unexpected by the Queen Mother and her grandfather. I didn't have a good impression of this poisonous-tongued prince before, but after what happened in the palace last time, my opinion of him changed a lot. But today he suddenly came to watch the ceremony in person, what did he want to do?
Reminiscent of the recent rumors about His Majesty¡¯s favor for him and some people¡¯s speculation about the instability of the East Palace position, does this person really have such ambitions? If this is indeed the case, then the Lin family is definitely a strong ally, and it is reasonable for him, Prince Jin, to want to win over them. But in this way, wouldn't he be pushed to the forefront again?
To me, there is no difference between Mu Li and Mu Zhang. One is a tiger's mouth and the other is a wolf's den. Neither of them can escape the fate of being manipulated by others. But knowing all this, what could he do? There was no way he could jump out, nor could he leave the Lin family alone.
? ?I thought about it over and over again, and the more I thought about it, the more worried I became. The road ahead was so bleak, there was no hope at all, and there were bottomless abyss everywhere. Just when I was feeling extremely desperate, I suddenly heard the sound of a clear bamboo flute coming to my ears.
At first it was sad and lingering, just like Xi Zhi's mood at the moment. Soon the tune repeated itself, becoming more and more impassioned, like a bird trapped in a cage, vowing to break everything into pieces, and gradually broke free from the cage. , soaring into the sky.
The tune changed again, becoming relaxed and cheerful, and Xizhi seemed to see the little bird flying freely among the clouds, unrestrained and carefree. Gradually, the sound of the flute became calmer, as if after experiencing ups and downs, it finally found the destination of the soul
When the sound of the flute stopped, Xi Zhicai suddenly woke up. It was clearly played by Fu Shang's senior brother, Han Li from Yunyin Villa. This person has met me several times but has not said a word to him. But through the sound of his flute, Xizhi felt that he and she were friends who had known each other for many years.
He took out a jade flute, put it to his lips and blew it gently. It was a flute song with a soothing melody. With a slight tiredness and a touch of sadness, it is not that obvious. Some are helpless to fate, but also a little unwilling.
The sound of the flute sounded again, but it was pure and peaceful, and revealed a firm belief in destiny. Xizhi was infected and followed his tunes unknowingly. Her lonely heart gradually became fuller, as if she felt that although the road ahead was long, there were countless variables. As long as she didn't give up on herself, one day she would be able to achieve success. Out of the haze, see the blue sky again.
At the end of the song, the sound of the flute dissipated in the starry sky of the summer night, but Xi Zhi was still twirling the jade flute, looking at the stars in the sky in trance.
"Miss Lin, I have been entrusted by Uncle Yu to send you the gift of hairpins." A peaceful voice sounded in the room, as if it suddenly appeared out of thin air. But Xizhi didn't feel surprised at all.
Looking at the plain-faced man in green clothes in front of him, Xizhi smiled slightly: "Thank you, Hanli, just call me by my name Lin Xizhi from now on."
Han Li nodded lightly, as if the two were old friends who had reunited after a long time, and there was no trace of unfamiliarity or estrangement. He casually took out a box from his arms and handed it to her.
This box is boxy and has no patterns. It is crystal clear and light cyan and slightly transparent, but it feels cold when you hold it. Xizhi couldn't help but wonder what kind of material it was made of. It felt like ice cubes.
"This is made of thousand-year-old ice from the Tianshan Mountains. It will not melt even in the middle of summer." Han Li seemed to understand her curiosity and explained to her calmly.
Opening it gently, Xizhi couldn't help but widen his eyes. A white flower with golden stamens lay quietly in the ice box. The flower is as big as the mouth of a bowl, and its petals are white and flawless, as if they were carved from ice and jade. However, they exude a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.
At first, Xizhi thought the flower was carved, and wondered who had such incredible craftsmanship. She touched it lightly with her fingers and found that the silky texture was clearly a real flower. She couldn't help but be amazed.
"This is the best lotus king among Tianshan snow lotuses. It is said that it is rare to find one in a hundred years. It is not only the best among flowers, but also an extremely rare elixir. It is said that this flower can give birth to human flesh and bones. As long as it does not leave this ice box, it will last forever. It won't wither." Han Li explained to her in time.
"So magical?" Xi Zhi sighed: "Then it can bring the dead back to life?"
Han Li, whose face had always remained calm, couldn't help but flash a smile: "That's just a legend in the world. The Snow Lotus King is not that magical. But it does have unique abilities in treating trauma. place. And sniffing it often can refresh the mind. For people who are weak or even on the verge of death, it can extend their lives for a few days."
Xizhi sighed after hearing this: "This is miraculous enough. There is no magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life."
Then he smiled at Han Li and said, "Please tell my mother that I like it very much. And" After a slight hesitation, Xizhi continued: "Tell her that I already know about that matter. , that¡¯s not her fault, no matter what time, she is Xi¡¯er¡¯s favorite mother and the best mother in the world, and she will always make her daughter proud.¡±
Han Li glanced at her, said nothing, just nodded affirmatively, and then took out a small wooden box from his arms, which was dark and heavy: "This is what Senior Poison Immortal asked me to give to you."
Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that this must have been given to him by Aunt Tao. It seemed that her name in the world was Poison Fairy. Opening the small wooden box, there was an inconspicuous black fruit inside, exuding a strange and rich fragrance.
"I don't know what this is, the old poisonous immortal said that you shouldFind the answer yourself. "This time Hanli failed to explain to her.
"It is estimated that this thing is recorded in the "Poison Classic". Xizhi knew that it was not appropriate to study it in detail at this time, so he collected it first and slowly found the answer at his leisure.
Seeing that Xizhi was still looking at him longingly, Hanli was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "Because I came in a hurry, I forgot to bring you a gift."
Xi Zhi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. This senior brother of Yunyin Villa who looked calm and majestic turned out to have a cute side. Afraid that he would misunderstand, she hurriedly asked in a low voice: "The sound of the flute just now is the best gift, why do I need anything else. I just want to ask you, how is my mother doing now? I don't know if it is inconvenient for you. explain."
Han Li paused for a moment. It seemed that he still regarded her as a little girl unconsciously. He glanced at her and replied: "Originally, Uncle Yu didn't let me say it. It's better that you don't know some things. But I I can only tell you that no matter what happens, Master Yu can¡¯t be troubled, not to mention senior Yunlong and my master, seniors like them are protecting her.¡±
