Chapter 16: Lighten the Lips(1/2)
If he doesn't ask me, he doesn't need to say anything.
If he talks about it, there is no chance of meeting him.
Jiang Wang didn't know what Zhu Biqiong had gone through in the past two years, when she was as innocent and pure as a piece of white paper.
But from the attitude of the concubine envoy from Diaohailou in front of him, we might be able to get a glimpse of something.
The current ranking of No. 1 on the Haixun list can probably describe the stories behind them.
The little girl who was once deceived by Hu Shaomeng has become a great figure overseas today. The little girl who was once protected by her sister and never saw the wind and rain of the world is now able to make waves in the offshore islands... Time is for everyone.
It's so fair.
The Marquis of Wu'an in the Great Qi Dynasty, the True Biography of Diaohailou Jinghai.
What they gain is visible to others; what they lose is hidden deep in their hearts.
"Tell her for me..." Jiang Wang paused and finally said, "Thank you very much."
Envoy Lu respectfully withdrew.
Jiang Wang did not stay longer on Haimen Island and went straight back to Qi State.
There was no news of the fourteenth going to sea, so he could not send a message to Chongxuansheng from a long distance. He was worried that Chongxuansheng would go crazy.
It’s just that... there is no trace of Bianjun and he is not overseas. Where on earth could Fourteen be?
Wear a hairpin with red flowers and wear a long skirt.
Apply rouge and blush your lips.
Fourteen has not dressed up like this for a long time.
In other words, she has never dressed up... so she is a bit clumsy.
That day she went to a famous rouge and gouache store in Linzi and bought back a lot of bits and pieces of cosmetics.
Then I sat alone in the room and dressed up in silence for a long time.
It's not uncomfortable not to speak. She seldom speaks.
Because her voice was naturally soft and not ferocious enough at all, in order to maintain the intimidation of the armored guards, she tried not to make a sound. Over time, she almost stopped speaking in front of others.
But there wasn't that nagging voice in her ears... and she wasn't used to it either.
Chong Xuan Sheng is a person who is very good at hiding his worries. He always smiles when he meets someone, and nine out of ten sentences he says are untrue. Over the years, he often talks non-stop only when he is alone with her. Although
Most of the time, she couldn't understand those troubling thoughts and entangled interests.
But she is willing to listen.
There is no such thing as a dressing mirror at home. She is a water mirror made of Taoism.
She felt that her Taoist skills were quite good, the water mirror was very stable and clear, and the distribution of Taoist energy was also very reasonable... It was just the drawing of eyebrows and lips, which was a bit complicated, and she was in a hurry.
The gouache store came with a drawing tutorial, and it took her a long time to understand it.
She's quite stupid.
But she wanted to dress up properly and show it to Brother Sheng. There was no other reason, she just wanted to show it to Brother Sheng. Look at how she dressed herself up carefully, her red lips, and the beautiful new clothes she bought -
It's a pity that she can't show it to Brother Sheng.
Of course she knows her identity.
When she was very young, she was told, repeatedly told...who she was, what her responsibilities were, and what her destiny was.
In fact, she could not remember much about those trainings because her memory was not very good. She only remembered that she had to protect Brother Sheng...with her thin shoulders and brave heart.
That was... a long, long time ago.
At that time she was about two years old, less than three years old.
That day, she walked into a Buddhist hall with a dozen children.
She saw a good-looking but haggard man. In her memory, he had a hairpin, but he was wearing a monk's robe. He was holding a plump baby in his arms, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue.
The man looked at her for a while.
She still remembers that look.
His eyes were obviously so tired, so disgusted, and so painful, but they had such compassionate eyes.
The man said, "That's her."
Her fate was different from now on.
She began to receive the best teachings, began to prepare for adapting to the Pulse Opening Pill, and began to have extraordinary possibilities.
There is only one thing to remember: protect that child.
Protect that child.
From when everyone was very young until now when everyone has grown up.
She probably never had too many ideas, and her thoughts were always very simple.
She just clumsily tried to protect the little fat man.
This is an obsession, a mood, and an ideal in life.
But since when did everything change subtly?
Think about it now.
Probably that day, when she came out of Dongjiekou, she came back to life, and he shed tears for the first time. They supported each other and walked on the streets of Linzi. The sunset was gorgeous and the sky was so brilliant.
At that time, she wanted to just keep going.
Or maybe earlier.
In those unnoticed moments.
For example, she pulled him up from the ground time and time again, for example, she wore iron armor and held an iron sword, and stood in front of him fiercely. For example, those days when she listened quietly while he talked non-stop...
"You hate me too, don't you?" the little fat man asked once, with red eyes and bulging anger: "You have no choice but to follow me, right?"
That time she mustered up the courage and pinched his fat face: "I think you are so cute."
Thinking of this, Shi Shi smiled.
But after laughing, I felt a little sad.
The sadness didn’t just start today.
It didn’t start from that conversation with the old Marquis.
When she fought against Wang Yiwu, she tried her best but was easily knocked unconscious. At that time, her last thought was what should she do if she wins?
When Chongxuan Sheng took off the magical power of Fa Tianxiang and Earth, and the magical power of Chongxuan, and the heritage of the famous Zhongxuan clan became more and more concrete in him. When she found that no matter how hard she tried, she was firmly pulled away.
when distance.
On the battlefield of Faxia, Jiang Wang could raise his sword and fight against God, but she could only hide in the military formation and feel sad when she contributed her Dao Yuan and Qi and blood.
It turns out...I can no longer protect him.
The meaning of her life is no longer clear, and her life ideals are gradually out of reach.
What a cruel fact this is!
Either she is not smart, or she is deliberately avoiding it. She is aware of these things, but hides everything in her iron armor.
Until that day, the old marquis called her to the house and told her that she was a very important person to Chongxuansheng... and Chongxuansheng, who was about to attack the Duke of Bowang, should have a better choice and a more brilliant future.
.
The old Marquis described to her how the world works and what lessons history has left for people.
The old Marquis told her what kind of woman the next Bowang Marquis' wife should be, what kind of family background she should have, and what kind of help she should bring to Chongxuan Sheng...
Her armor was uncovered.
It seems like I have returned to my timid childhood, when I was holding my knees and shivering.
Before she stood up to protect Zhongxuan Sheng, she was actually very scared.
Now she must see the real world and face the reality of the world.
That pair of iron armor protected her and Zhongxuan Sheng, and also hid her timidity.
To be continued...
