Xiyue's heart trembled slightly, she pursed her lips and asked, "Where did you see it?"
Lu Fei didn't expect that she wouldn't deny it at all. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
After a while, he finally revealed the origin of the white jade hosta and his reasoning.
Xiyue lowered her eyes, hiding the mixture of light and dark under her eyes, and weakly tugged at the corners of her lips: "I didn't expect that broken hairpin to be quite a hindrance."
She turned and walked towards the bed, her voice calm: "You go, I want to rest, you don't have to say goodbye to me tomorrow."
"What farewell?"
Lu Fei was stunned, and for a moment he became very angry, and pulled her over: "You heartless man, I have protected you for so long, and it is hard work without any credit. It's better for you, Tiantian'er wants to break up with me... …”
When Lu Fei met her gaze, the rest of his scolding came to an abrupt end. There was clearly an unconcealable loneliness and sadness deep in his usually clear and calm almond eyes.
He almost blurted out: "I don't want to separate from you."
Xiyue was stunned for a long time before she spoke softly: "Aren't you afraid that my luck will be swallowed up by you?"
"Didn't I say it before? That's the royal family's confusing words. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"What if, if I were a ten-thousand-year-old monster, a country's luck would be equivalent to a piece of candy..."
Lu Fei rolled his eyes and interrupted her: "Don't tell me that Mr. Shu is talking nonsense. Those stories are all made up by him out of thin air and have no basis."
Xiyue lowered her head slightly and said nothing.
Looking at the girl in front of him and thinking of the records in the history books, Lu Fei felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in his heart, making him breathless.
When he was reading in the past, he just felt that Princess Xiyue was very pitiful. She lived in a cold palace from birth to death, with no one to accompany her, no one to care about her, and she was always alone.
Now, with the living Princess Xiyue standing in front of him, he deeply realized the harm those ruthless actions had done to her - making her live less than a human being.
She is cold-hearted and indifferent, separated from the world, like a god who is expected to fall into the mortal world, watching the joys and sorrows of the world with cold eyes.
It would be fine if her nature was like this, but she clearly wanted to have friends and participate in the human world. Otherwise, she would not be sad when she thought she was leaving, nor would she sneak out of the palace and go there in the last moments of her life. Explore the joys and sorrows of the world.
Lu Fei tried hard to suppress the depression in his heart and asked with difficulty: "Um, are you really sixteen years old now?"
"Well, one year and six months left."
She said this very casually, as if she was saying that the noodles tonight were not bad, without any fear, regret or other emotions.
Lu Fei frowned, subconsciously wanting to scold her for her disregard for life, and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Her fate was destined, and it had not changed in more than 20,000 years of history.
He was so moved that he felt powerless. He pondered for a moment and asked, "What is your wish?"
Xiyue frowned. She didn't like the emotion called pity in his eyes. Only the weak needed sympathy. She couldn't be weak.
"I have no wishes, you can go, I want to sleep."
"How come you don't have any wishes?" Lu Fei didn't believe it. "Don't you like to see the scenery, eat, drink and have fun? The misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, the solitary smoke in the desert, the boundless Gobi, and the vast grassland. Whatever you like best, we will focus on arranging it."
"Whatever, wherever you go."
Lu Fei:......
"As for the customs and customs, don't you want to see people getting married? The marriage procedures for ordinary people are simplified and not lively enough. Let's go see the rich and noble people to see the excitement;
Shuzhou has a pleasant climate, and the Flower Festival is unique; Wen County has many lantern craftsmen, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival there is unique, and the capital city and the imperial palace cannot compare..."
Xiyue was a little moved. The lantern festival in the capital was already so lively and even grander. She wanted to see it.
She asked: "The Lantern Festival is coming in ten days. Where is Wen County? Can we make it there?"
Lu Fei was stunned for a moment. Wen County was indeed quite far away in the southeast. He silently calculated and said, "There are still seventeen days left. If we catch up, we can make it in time."
As soon as she heard that she was about to leave, Xiyue immediately lost interest and said, "Let's go to Zhujian Villa as planned."
She would not do such a stupid thing after torturing herself to death just to watch the lantern festival.
Lu Fei sighed, giving up so easily. It seemed that the lantern festival was not her favorite.
"Do you really have no wishes? Even a monk who has seen through the world of mortals will still be obsessed with temple incense. I don't believe you really have no desires."
Xiyue looked at him strangely: "Why do you care if I have a wish?"
Lu Fei choked, but couldn't explain clearly. He wanted her to spend her last moments without any regrets.
After a stalemate for a while, he walked out in frustration. When he reached the door, he was still unwilling to give up. He turned around and asked earnestly again: "You really have no wishes? How can you live your whole life without wanting anything."
Xiyue stepped forward and pushed his head out. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman holding a baby in the guest room diagonally opposite, pacing back and forth in the room. Her hands gently patted the baby. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the soft nursery rhymes escaping from his lips and teeth.
Xi Yue was stunned, her eyes following the woman unconsciously.
"What are you looking at?"
Lu Fei's words brought back her thoughts. Xiyue looked away and her voice was so soft that she almost whispered: "What's the use of having a wish, but it can't be realized."
After saying this, he was about to close the door. Lu Fei quickly held the door, "Why didn't you say it? How do you know it can't be achieved? Let's find a way together."
Xiyue raised her eyes and raised the corners of her lips in a sarcastic and sad arc: "I want to grow up like a normal child. Is this possible?"
"Well……"
Lu Fei's hand slipped from the door, but she still closed the door. This wish could not come true.
He turned his head and saw through the window the mother who was putting her child to sleep diagonally opposite. His heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and it hurt deeply.
"Hey, it's better to be a son and daughter of the world, to be happy with your grudges and not stick to trivial matters." A faint sigh came from above his head. Lu Fei looked up and saw Jiang Shida upstairs holding a wine bottle and leaning on the railing, his face full of melancholy. It seemed that he was borrowing money from others. Wine drowns sorrow.
"Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Shida couldn't help but sigh: "As long as you are upright and upright, it doesn't matter if you break into a girl's boudoir at night, unlike those delicate girls from aristocratic families, who are offended even if they look at them more. They are so strict and annoying!"
Lu Fei jumped up to the third floor. As soon as he took a few steps closer, the strong smell of alcohol hit his face. Jiang Shida's face was reddish, his eyes were blurred, and he was already drunk.
"Which aristocratic daughter's boudoir did you break into at night?" Lu Fei took the wine bottle in his hand, good guy, not a drop of it was left.
He was a little curious. Jiang Shida was an open-minded person, so what could make him so worried.
Jiang Shida sighed: "What kind of intrusion is there? I just helped pick up the sachet out of kindness and got into a lot of trouble. As a result, I can't go back home."
Lu Fei raised his eyebrows. When he met Jiang Shida again, he felt a little strange. The aristocratic family cares about these etiquettes the most. The New Year is approaching, and it seems strange that he, a son of the aristocratic family, is wandering outside. It turns out that he has incurred a peach blossom debt.
He looked at the drunken Jiang Shida and thought, as the saying goes, one speaks the truth after drinking. He helped Jiang Shida back to the guest room: "Brother Jiang, you come from an aristocratic family and are well-informed. I have a question."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Shida's voice was steady and his words were clear. Without close contact, it would be difficult to tell that he was actually drunk.
Lu Fei looked outside and lowered his voice: "There are so many princesses born in royal families from various countries, how do you identify who is Princess Xiyue?"
"This matter..." Jiang Shida stretched out a finger, paused for a while, and shook his finger, "I don't know the secret of the royal family. It is said that this secret has been passed down orally from king to king throughout the generations."
Lu Fei was a little disappointed, and then asked: "What about the founding emperor?"
There are many countries on the mainland, not only the aristocratic families who succeeded in usurping power, but also the dynasties that emerged from the wilderness. According to this statement, these founding emperors naturally did not know this secret and how to pass it on.
"The National Preceptor will tell them."
Lu Fei pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then asked: "What about time? Will the princess be recognized as soon as she is born, or will it take some time?"
"I know this." Jiang Shida raised his chin proudly, but unfortunately he was so drunk that his raised chin quickly dropped.
"My aunt said that no matter whether she is favored or not, as long as a princess is born, the emperor will come and check it out in person. She should have recognized her right after she was born."
Lu Fei frowned, this was going to be difficult.
Emperors of all dynasties have tacitly wanted to tarnish Princess Xiyue's reputation. It is impossible to raise her as a normal girl. How can this wish be realized?
He frowned and left. The next day, he tested Jiang Shida a few times and found that he had no impression of the drunken words, so he swallowed the instructions on his lips and pretended that nothing had happened.
Since it was already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Lu Fei suggested spending New Year's Eve in the town before leaving. Jiang Shida heard this and decided to stay, and the group had a different kind of New Year's Eve.
After that, Lu Fei no longer hurried on the road, and swayed slowly along the way, admiring the scenery and people along the way. He only rushed a little on the eve of the Hua Chao Festival and arrived in Shuzhou two days early.
On the day of the Flower Festival, Lu Fei took Xiyue out for an outing, and urged her to join the girls' red dress ceremony, cut five-colored paper and stick it on the flower branches, and also participated in the solemn and grand ceremony of worshiping the God of Flowers. Butterflies, making flower cakes, placing flower lanterns, etc. are not missed.
Although not a single butterfly fluttered and the flower cake was made in a mess, her participation in the whole process finally allowed her to integrate into it. Unlike the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival, even if she was in a busy city, she was still outside and just a passerby on the sidelines.
After the Flower Festival, they continued to travel around the mountains and rivers. When they arrived at Zhujian Villa, there were only three days left before the martial arts conference was held.
Jiang Shida complained that the journey was too slow, so he hurried to Lingxiao Sect to deliver a greeting card, hoping to join Lingxiao Sect.
After he left, Xiyue said to Lu Fei: "Don't you want to make friends with heroes from all walks of life? How to make friends? Do you want to make fights with them one by one?"
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth twitched, and he made appointments one by one. Fortunately, she could think of it, "Let's go out to eat first, and find out who is here."
With that said, he opened the door and went out. As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, an unknown object flew towards him. Lu Fei pulled the attraction behind him and at the same time grabbed the flying object - a chopstick.
I lowered my eyes and saw that downstairs, those who threw stools, those who smashed cups and saucers, and those who smashed the table had already turned into a pot of porridge.
He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The waiter grimaced and pointed at the woman in white who was eating quietly in the corner: "The men from the Tiger Head Gang spoke inappropriately and offended that girl. The other young men couldn't stand it. They went over to argue and said that they had wanted to talk. Then the fight started.”
The waiter was extremely worried. Although these young heroes came from well-known families and would not have to pay compensation after the fight, so many items were damaged. If they could not be replaced in time, it would affect the subsequent business.
Xiyue stuck her head out, looked at the miserable situation below, and said doubtfully: "Didn't you say that all the people participating in the martial arts conference are heroes? Why are you acting like gangsters and starting fights casually? You shouldn't make a fight if you have a grudge. Find another place to solve it?”
Lu Fei felt that he couldn't keep up his face. This was actually his first time coming to the mainland. Most of what he knew about the situation in various countries was from books, and all kinds of rumors were no exception.
The mainland's martial arts community is highly respected on the island, and the stories of the heroes doing chivalry and righteousness are widely spread on the island. As a person who grew up listening to the stories of the heroes' happy grudges, he naturally has a good impression of the people in the martial arts community.
Unexpectedly, there are many people who do not practice martial ethics.
The girl in white clothes who was eating may have heard their conversation, and suddenly turned her head to look this way. Lu Fei was surprised: "Doctor Yu!"
Yu Tianxian nodded distantly, then moved his gaze to Xi Yue, and said softly: "You speak very fluently. It seems that your vocal cords have recovered well."
Xiyue raised her eyebrows, "You can also do martial arts."
They didn't speak loudly just now, but the fight below was so intense that it was so noisy that Yu Tianxian actually heard their conversation clearly.
Yu Tianxian nodded and said naturally: "I am a traveling doctor. I am out here all the time. Without the power to protect myself, I would have died countless times."
As soon as she finished speaking, the young heroes who were fighting with the Tiger Head Gang became stiff in their movements. After fighting for a long time, they didn't need their heroes to save the beauty at all.
"Doctor Jade? You are the Jade Heavenly Immortal, the master of the Xinglin Forest!" A burly young man turned around suddenly and stared at the Yutian Immortal in surprise.
When other people heard this, they all listened, and the people of the Hutou Gang were even more annoyed. As the saying goes, you can't offend the doctor by offending anyone, so why did you tease Yu Tianxian?
The burly young man cupped his fists and saluted: "I'm Situ Bei of Zhujian Villa. If the jade girl can come, Peng Pi will shine. Please also ask the jade girl to move to the villa."
"No need, I'm used to staying in inns."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Situ Bei's face, and Xuan'er said sincerely: "My uncle was hammering a piece of meteorite a few days ago. I don't want to get old, hurt my arm, and can't use it anymore. I've seen many doctors but nothing has improved. I want to Please let Miss Jade take a look."
Yu Tianxian's expression was still very calm: "You should know my rules. During non-free clinics, unless there is something you like, you will never take action."
Situ Bei said anxiously: "There are a lot of items in the village, if the girl likes them, just take them."
"Since you want me to take action, then show your sincerity." After saying that, Yu Tianxian turned around and went upstairs, ignoring Situ Bei's request.
