Pingfei nodded and listened carefully to each and every word. She believed in the little novel. Since this tiny little person was the one she was waiting for, it meant that everything was predestined for some unknown reason. Even if it fell from the sky, it would all land in the Azure Dragon Country.
"Mother believes in small talk?" She had always been worried that no one would believe her, but she didn't expect that Pingfei would not have any doubts at all.
"I do!" How could Mother not believe that in your entire life, you are destined to be associated with this palace. Your past, your present, and even your future, cannot escape this fated arrangement. " Pingfei said meaningfully. Her eyes were filled with sadness, and at the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in her heart. On her chest, a raging inferno that had been buried for a long time was burning, causing her to be extremely excited.
She was so excited that she could not speak. Pingfei's words constantly echoed in her mind, and she felt that these words were really Zen. Could it be that she had already predicted all of this?
Was it destined, was it destined, was it destined for this life?
Blinking her big watery eyes, she curiously asked, "Mother knows Xiaoxiao will definitely come?"
"Hm!" She knows you must come back, and she has kept her mother waiting. Mother waited for many years, looked forward to many years, finally looked forward to you. I believe that she must be watching from the sky, watching as we meet. " Pingfei put her hands together and kneeled on the ground. She closed her eyes and prayed to the heavens that the road ahead would be smoother.
The more Xiaoxiao heard, the more magical she felt. At the same time, she was also more curious about that 'her'. It would be best if she could see a portrait of a person from somewhere, and perhaps even identify him as the person in her dreams.
"Does Mother have a portrait of her?" she asked softly.
Pingfei shook her head in disappointment. She didn't, but someone did. However, she knew that the man would not take it out. He loved the painting so much that she had seen it only once in years, the day after her sister's death, and it had never appeared again.
"The emperor does?" Xiaoxiao was able to read a few things from the look in Princess Pingping's eyes and immediately guessed the answer to the riddle.
"Yes!" She smiled and said, "When Elder Sister entered the palace, the Emperor invited the best painters in the palace to paint a portrait of her. In order to win her heart, he asked them to give her a portrait. Amongst them, there was a painter who was extremely skilled in painting. He had painted his elder sister into a lifelike, beautiful and noble figure, and the Emperor had even rewarded that painter with quite a bit of silver. The Emperor was extremely fond of that painting. He hung him in the chambers of the Dragoneer Palace, facing him day in and day out. "Later on, when my sister died and the day after she was sent to the grave, the Emperor brought the painting to the tombstone. Only then did I truly see the painting and never saw it again."
"Oh!"
Xiaoxiao nodded and did not ask any further questions. Inwardly, she was already planning on how to get the emperor to take out that painting for her to see.
"If you could see that painting, you would know how similar you two look. Even your demeanor is a bit similar." Pang Fei caressed her small face as she looked at her as if she was looking at her elder sister.
"Mother!" "Xiaoxiao promised to help you get that painting back." He did not even think about giving a small promise to his wife.
Pang Fei wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She looked at the sky, then looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "It's getting late. You can go back now!"
"It's still early! "What's the update?" Ye Ci played with her long hair. She was a night owl. If it wasn't for the fact that there was no playground, she wouldn't sleep until 2 or 3 o'clock every night.
It wasn't easy to find someone to tell her the truth. Furthermore, she still had a secret in her heart, so she didn't want to go back too quickly.
"No!" You have to go back and remember what Mother said. Don't come back when you have nothing else to do in the future, and be careful when you come back. The palace was huge and filled with danger. "Come, take this flower back." Pingfei shook her head and pulled Xiaoxiao over to a particularly beautiful rouge flower. She carefully dug out the root of the flower and carefully placed it in a small flower pot by the side before handing it over to Xiaoxiao.
Hee hee!
Xiaoxiao happily observed the rouge flower in her hand. She didn't know when she would grow such a large plant. It's so beautiful here.
"This flower is very good to grow. Remember to water it when you first plant it. After a month, its roots will be stable, so you don't have to worry about all these. "Here, give me some seeds. If I plant them with these flowers, they will quickly take root and sprout." She then took out a packet of seeds from the flower pot and stuffed it into her waist. Following which, he saw her take down a jade pendant from her waist and hang it on her pendant.
"What is this?" Xiaoxiao curiously turned the jade pendant. The pattern on it looked like a totem, and it was very beautiful and special. However, she did not know what it was.
The jade pendant had been with her for many years, and she had taken it out almost every day to look at it. However, she still hadn't been able to decipher the meaning of the design. Perhaps my sister is right. There are some things that only those who are destined can understand.
"Keep it safe. Don't let anyone see it. It's as important as your birthmark." As she spoke, she stuffed the jade pendant back into her clothes and pulled at the collar of her shirt.
Xiaoxiao nodded. She was deeply moved by Pingfei's meticulous concern. It felt like a mother, more like a mother than a mother.
Pingfei tidied Xiaoxiao's clothes again and looked her up and down with a reassured smile. Waving her hand, she reluctantly let Xiaoxiao leave quickly.
Xiaoxiao really wanted to stay any longer, but she saw that Pingfei was insistent. He could only bow respectfully and carry the rouge to the entrance of the courtyard.
After walking a few steps and looking back, she suddenly stopped and shook her head towards that corner, "Big Sister Hua'er, Xiao Xiao left."
Sou sou sou!
The cold wind blew again, lifting up the petals on the ground and submerging the courtyard within the rain of flowers. Little Jun fell silent as he drew, and a beautiful smile appeared on his face. That smile was extremely similar to the 'her' in Pingfei's heart, causing her to be reluctant to blink.
Heavens!
Too beautiful, somewhat like the film stunts, if can take a picture do a lament how good! Unfortunately, this era could only draw portraits, and he had to find a skilled painter in order to paint that feeling.
He left with a hint of disappointment. Then, he turned around and left silently.
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she looked at Xiaoxiao's departing figure. She didn't know how long she would live, but she had done what her sister had told her to do. He hoped that he could help Xiaoxiao fulfill her sister's true last wish in her lifetime.
The door was shut by a gust of wind. Pingfei waved to the air again, then hobbled back to her own yard.
Xiaoxiao was carrying a beautiful rouge flower in her arms. When she walked out of the main entrance of the rouge hall, she originally wanted to head straight to her residence, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard footsteps coming from behind.
She immediately hid behind a fake mountain.
The silhouette drew closer and closer to him, and soon, the silhouette of that person appeared before his eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand in surprise and almost cried out.
So dangerous!
I almost bumped into him. If this fellow found out that he came to the rouge hall in the middle of the night, he would definitely have his servants follow him.
His eyes stared unblinkingly as Xuanyuan Qi walked past her. He was so excited that she didn't pay any attention to the flower pot hitting the fake mountain, causing a 'bang' sound to ring out.
Xuanyuan Qi's ears twitched and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His gaze was fixated on the main entrance of the rouge hall.
Meow! Meow!
On the roof, a black cat ran across the roof. She accidentally kicked a piece of roof tile to the ground and it smashed into her head.
"Howl!"
Xiaoxiao covered her mouth with her hands and nervously leaned against the fake mountain, sneakily glancing at Xuanyuan Qi.
"Damn cats only know to come out for a walk at night." Xuanyuan Qi was frightened out of his wits. He threw a glance at the cat on the roof and quickened his pace towards the palace.
Only after hearing the sound of footsteps leaving did Xiaoxiao heave a sigh of relief. He stuck his head out from behind the fake mountain and made sure that someone had walked a distance away. Then, he sneakily walked out from behind the fake mountain.
"Humph!" Why don't you come out for a walk at night! I don't know where to go either! " She made a face at the spot where Xuanyuan Qi had left and even held her lips in in great dissatisfaction.
Carrying the rouge in her arms, she decided to go back. Thus, she walked towards the opposite direction of Xuanyuan Zhi.
However, when he happily carried the flower pot to the backyard and was about to turn the corner and walk into his own room, he accidentally tripped over something. "Clang!" The flower pot fell to the ground and shattered, while the rouge flower powerlessly laid on the ground.
"What …"
Before Xiaoxiao could curse out, she lowered her head and realized that what she had tripped over was not something else. It was a person, a very familiar woman.
Unfortunately, the sky was a little dark, so she couldn't see very clearly with her near-sighted eyes. Approaching, almost touching the woman's face, he took a closer look and finally recognized who it was. He quickly picked her up and placed her on his feet.
"Ling'er, Ling'er, what happened to you?" She shook Ling'er's body a little and touched her forehead. His forehead was burning. If he were to put an egg on it, it would probably ripen.
Ling'er lay unmoving in her small embrace, feeling a warm sensation. Her eyes slightly opened, and in her hazy state, she could already tell that she was her master.
"Ling'er, you …" Don't scare me! " Xiaoxiao lowered her head, and the only light in her eyes could not clearly make out what had happened. Ling'er half opened her eyes. Seeing Ling'er motionless, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
"Wuu … wuu …" "Don't let anything happen to me. What should I do if something happens to you?" Xiaoxiao crawled on Ling'er's body and shook her, but after shaking for a long time, she still could not see Ling'Er move.
She had no choice but to get up and carry Ling'er on her back as she strenuously walked towards the front yard. As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Ling'er, can you hear what big sister is saying? You can hear me, you can hear me, you can't sleep, you can't sleep, I'll find a doctor for you, we'll be at the house soon. "
Carrying a person on her back, her small steps were heavy and slow. Moreover, it was a dark night, so she couldn't see the road in front of her. Furthermore, her body was currently too skinny. The Ling'er on her back that could fly even by the wind was trembling non-stop.
After tossing and turning for a while, she staggered and placed Ling'er on the bed. Taking a deep breath, he covered Ling'er with a blanket and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Just as he was about to take a step forward, a wave of dizziness hit him. Her vision turned dark, and she fell down beside the bed and fainted.
