She clasped her hands behind her back and looked up at the tree branches in front of her. Another new season was about to begin on the budding branches.

"The spring scenery is like a vast night, with red windows and two eyebrows in the heart. Looking forward to your return, there is no shadow, autumn fragrance, Xiaoxiao is in the painting hall. How long the lovesickness lasts, and the west wind shines with a bit of coolness. The beauty of the vicissitudes of life is detached from the ordinary, soft intestines, it is difficult to see the childhood

Lang......"

Yin Xin suddenly clapped her hands and cheered, her small figure swaying a few times in the wind.

"That's great! That's great! Master! Your poems are so good!"

Xia Lingyue looked at the mandarin ducks on the water. The tears in her eyes were like melting icebergs, flowing down the sides of her cheeks.

"Master, master......"

Yin Xin was suddenly frightened by her appearance.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Master, are you okay?"

Xia Lingyue gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and pretended to be calm to calm down her emotions.

"It's okay! I'm just not having a good time lately..."

Her appearance made Yin Xin completely confused, and Yin Xin quickly recalled what she had just said.

"Huh? I remember I didn't say anything outrageous just now!"

She thought to herself for a moment, then smiled.

"Master! You can't do this to yourself! Otherwise, what will happen if King Lin comes back to take me to task?"

Xia Lingyue frowned, stood up and looked at the lake in the distance, falling into deep thought again.

"Master, I feel that what happened recently is a bit unreasonable. Maybe it's because King Lin has something on his mind that he has been hiding from you?"

"No matter what he has on his mind, it doesn't matter anymore. At least the fact that he hasn't even returned home in the past few days is enough to make me give up..."

Xia Lingyue's expression was full of disappointment.

"King Lin......"

She stared at the sky in a daze, and her memory was gradually brought back to the fragments of the past.

………………………………………………………………

"Yue'er, do you know? I have always liked you!"

His breath touched her lips gently, and tears fell one after another on her face, like broken beads, between her lips, between her eyebrows...

Gradually, his tears soaked her entire face bit by bit, and then she fell asleep completely.

"Yue'er, when I first saw you that year, it was in the side hall of Qingcheng Palace. I secretly thought in my heart that one day you would be my wife!"

As a result, a landscape painting of the past slowly unfolds...

Memories are like a string of beads. Thinking of this, Xia Lingyue couldn't help but murmur, as if she was talking to herself or telling a story to Yin Xin next to her.

“I remember that it was a winter when the north wind was howling, and the icy and snowy Qingcheng Palace was packed with people.

Because Emperor Ji received urgent reports from the frontier, the situation became tense that year. A large number of foreign thieves invaded and occupied half of the Central Plains. In addition, the situation in the court was extremely unstable not long after Emperor Ji ascended the throne. It was difficult to control the internal and external troubles.

the situation.

Coinciding with the turmoil in the country, King Xia, who was also an important official, could not shirk his responsibility and took his family into the palace to stay for a while.

One day, a group of young princes were organizing a competition in the side hall of Qingcheng Palace. Ji Panying obviously lost, but King Panlin made him angry because of this."

At this point, the vivid memory resurfaced with the sound of a conversation that sounded like it was a lifetime ago.

"Brother Emperor, you lose!"

"I lost? This is absolutely impossible!"

King Panying has been an extremely domineering and domineering person since he was a child.

"Hahaha...Okay! Since you said that I lost, then I will make you pay for what you said! Just obey your orders!"

"The slave is here!"

At this time, the eunuch on the side bowed his head and replied.

"Tie this bastard to a tree and take off his cotton-padded clothes!"

"yes…………"

Amidst the howling cold wind, the eunuch on the side replied submissively.

As a result, King Lin was stripped of his cotton-padded clothes and tied to the sycamore tree behind the side hall of Qingcheng Hall. The howling cold wind blew by, and he neither dared to struggle nor resist.

King Lin, who was still in his prime, actually already understood the stakes in the palace.

"Remember this! You bastard who is about to die! From now on, the whole world will belong to me! How can you cherish your life? Let me talk about winning or losing, huh! You are not qualified enough. Today, I am the king.

I’ll teach you this ignorant thing a lesson that you can remember for the rest of your life!”

As he spoke, he waved to the eunuch next to him, and his thin back was pressed against the old bark of the tree trunk as he fell straight down. After he saw that he had hit the bottom, he was thrown hard again, and then the eunuch next to him pulled the rope hard.

He pulled hard back, just up and down, back and forth until his whole back was torn and bloody...

"But fortunately, God showed mercy. After a lot of back and forth in the duel that day, I finally won by a narrow margin."

When Xia Lingyue said this, she couldn't help but pat her chest, and she still looked like she had lingering fears.

Yin Xin was fascinated by what he heard and nodded.

"this………………"

After hearing Concubine Jiang's words, Mr. Duo hesitated for a while.

"Reporting to the Queen, even if this cat is killed, it may not be able to completely eliminate future troubles! After so many years, this wild creature may have had offspring."

"Hmph! Even if we have offspring, we must eradicate it!"

"yes………………"

The helmsman rubbed his hands and looked solemn for a long time, but suddenly the mood changed and he was secretly overjoyed.

"I didn't expect that this smart Concubine Jiang would be confused..."

"Hmph! Even if we have offspring, we must eradicate it!"

"yes………………"

"No! My daughter still wants to sit in her boudoir first, and then go to my aunt's place later!"

When Concubine Liu heard that she wanted to go sit in her boudoir, she suddenly panicked again.

"You've been away from home for so long, and you haven't prepared anything at your place. Everywhere in the past is in ruins. What's the point of sitting around? Why don't you come to my place with your aunt? Be obedient!"

Concubine Liu grabbed her hand and put it on her chest, with an irresistible look of determination on her face.

“Father is coming?!!!…………”

She smiled coldly: "Your father thinks you are corrupting the family tradition, so he told me a long time ago that he doesn't want to see you!"

"But fortunately, God showed mercy. After a lot of back and forth in the duel that day, I finally won by a narrow margin."

When Xia Lingyue said this, she couldn't help but pat her chest, and she still looked like she had lingering fears.

Yin Xin was fascinated by what he heard and nodded.

After a pause, she continued to describe what happened next.

"How is it possible? This is absolutely impossible! I am the unique leader in promoting weaving in Hualing City! How come we are defeated repeatedly?"

King Ying couldn't come to the stage for a while, but he couldn't keep his word, so he overturned the jar in anger, and saw that the defeated cricket died miserably. The old eunuch had no choice but to pout and ordered King Lin to be let down from the tree.

.

"Here, what's going on?"

She tried hard to search for fragments in her memory, but she couldn't remember when there was such a place in Xiahou Mansion.

"Hehehehehehehe..."

At this time, she saw that the surrounding woods seemed to be smiling ferociously at her with their big black mouths open.

"ah………………"

She only felt waves of chills all over her body, like a tide, rushing straight to the top of her head.

Waves of strange and ferocious laughter came to her ears. The sound seemed to be nonexistent, but it was so clear.

“Ah…………No!”

She held her head and felt that her scalp was numbing, and the fear in her heart continued to make her uncomfortable.

"Let's go! Go quickly!"

At this time, a firm and powerful voice sounded in her ears, and then she felt that after being pulled up by someone, she instantly felt a soaring feeling as she climbed over the dilapidated and thick courtyard wall...

"You...who are you?"

She couldn't help but look up at the person in front of her, but found that his face was covered, so she trembled her lips and teeth and asked in confusion.

"Who do you think I am? Who I am is not important, who you are is the most important thing!"

"ah………………"
