Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 2 Going to Sea Together
In the dark, Shi Xuanqin's words became a prophecy, and before Yue Wugui left, an imperial decree came to Shi's family unexpectedly.

There was a hint of pity in the imperial decree, and it was to Shi Xuanqin, as a family member, to accompany Yue Wujiu to Yunzhou Island and take care of his daily life.

This decree is really absurd, even Yue Wugui himself didn't think of it.

After all, the emperor still cares about the old love.

Yue Wujiu's mother is the current Emperor Yun's younger sister, the most beloved Princess Zhaoyin in the palace.

This time, the Yue family conspired against him, Long Yan was furious, and the whole family of the Yue family was convicted, and Yue Wugui's father was also sentenced to death.

But after all, Emperor Yun still couldn't let go of his sister and the child born to his sister, the little nephew he loved most in the past, the more blameless he was.

Princess Zhaoyin was taken back to the palace and locked in a pagoda, never to take a step forward.

This was already a great pardon, and Yue Wujiu himself was not decapitated like his father, but was exiled to Yunzhou Island.

This time, the Shi family resigned the engagement, and they got out in time. They did it decisively and unfeelingly. Emperor Yun saw it in his eyes, but he didn't show anything on his face, so it was hard to guarantee that he didn't have any thoughts in his heart.

After all, no matter how innocent the crime is, it is also his own nephew, and the heart of the emperor is hard to fathom. No, an imperial decree came down, and everyone in the Shi family was slapped heavily.

break off an engagement?Things that don't exist, not only that, but also go to Yunzhou Island as a family member to take care of his nephew!

"Impossible, I will never agree!" Shi Xuanqin made such a fuss that the roof almost fell off, she knelt beside the eldest lady's legs, tears streaming down her eyes: "I will not die, mother, she has already divorced, and I have been with you a long time ago." That sin slave has nothing to do with him anymore, why should I go to suffer with him as a family member, why?!"

Amidst the gloom and mist in Shi's mansion, a slender figure unexpectedly stood up and bowed on the ground.

"Let me go."

The girl has black hair and snow skin, and still wears those strings of bells on her wrists, but this time she wears shoes, combs her hair, and dresses decently, barely looking like a lady from a noble family.

But those extremely light-colored pupils shone strangely under the lamp, and the disparate temperament around her was still incompatible with this high-ranking family.

In the shock of the whole room, Shi Xuanling looked serious, and said unhurriedly: "I am willing to go to Yunzhou Island instead of the second sister. I am also the daughter of the Shi family, and I can also take care of the son of Yue, let alone—"

She was eager to fight for this "opportunity", so she said something in her heart, and she said it outright and casually: "I can also be medical. If the son of Yue can't think about it, I guarantee that he won't die no matter how much he struggles!"

With a "poof", Shi Shangshu, who was sitting in the first seat, spewed out a mouthful of tea. He widened his eyes and looked at the daughter who was kneeling in the center of the hall, this daughter who didn't come back to him until she was nine years old.

"Nonsense, Xuan Ling, do you know where Yunzhou Island is? This is not fun, dad won't let..."

"Father, father, let Third Sister go!"

Shi Xuanqin seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, knelt down and moved a few steps, came to Shi Xuanling's side, pressed her shoulder, and said eagerly to everyone:
"You all don't know, in fact, the third sister has a deep-rooted love for the son of Yue. She also told me that she felt that the son was very pitiful, and she felt very distressed. She definitely wanted to go to Yunzhou Island this time. , Father, you must fulfill Third Sister's affection..."

While talking, Shi Xuanqin also lightly bumped Shi Xuanling with his arm, "Right, third sister, didn't you tell me that Prince Yue is very pitiful, did you feel bad about it?"

In that trembling voice, as if betting on the future, it was waiting for Shi Xuanling to agree.

Under the eyes of the whole room, Shi Xuanling suddenly saw the white mist around the shoulders of the second sister, revealing a group of gorgeous flower shadows——

It is a peacock, a colorful peacock with its head held high, proud and uneasy, and refuses to bow its head no matter what.

Shi Xuanling was slightly taken aback, with tears in her proud peacock eyes, as if she was saying that she had been high above her all her life, so she didn't want to be dragged into the mud, and she didn't even want to die!

The girl's long eyelashes trembled, her heart softened inexplicably, and she followed those words by coincidence: "Yes, I do... have feelings for the son of Yue. At sea, go to Yunzhou Island to take care of him."

Feel free, no matter what the reason is, anyway, she really wants to leave Shi Mansion and go to Yunzhou Island.

After A Niang passed away, she escaped three times. She wanted to return to Qingli Mountain and return to her clan.

But she was too young, and she couldn't remember the direction to go home. Every time she didn't even leave the imperial city, she was caught by her father.

So many days have passed, and she has been "Miss Shi San" for many years, but Qingli Mountain is still her true home in her heart.

But this place is too mysterious, there is no record in the world, and the Shi family only thinks that she and her mother are "witch girls" in the countryside and forests, and they don't know that they are from the Butterfly tribe and come from Qingli Mountain.

Because my mother had warned me never to reveal my true identity in front of others, the only father who knew about it had also told Shi Xuanling privately that it was hard to find the Butterfly Clan. brought into the mountains.

After leaving, it was very difficult to go back, so it was not until Shi Xuanling was nine years old that her mother took her out of the mountain and came to the imperial city, that her father had the chance to see their mother and daughter again.

Qingli Mountain has become his childhood homeland that he can't go back to, and he is locked inside the high wall. Shi Xuanling longs for freedom every day.

She didn't want to stay in the imperial city, like all young ladies from aristocratic families, she found a good husband to marry, and then moved into another house, so she could see the end of her life at a glance.

Compared with this depressive restraint, she would rather go to sea, take a look at the boundless sky, and find more possibilities in life.

Maybe it was a coincidence in the world, she went to Yunzhou Island first, and gradually figured it out in the future, could she find clues and set foot on the way home again?

In short, no matter what the ending is, it's more comfortable than being bored in the boxy Shi mansion and pretending to be a young lady from a family.

Thinking of this, Shi Xuanling clenched the bell in her hand, took a deep breath, and bowed heavily to her father and the eldest lady.

"I haven't read as many books as my second sister, and I don't know how to chew on words, but I know that I really like Yue Shizi very much. In this life, he is the only one."

Where can I control so much, Shi Xuanling only borrowed the dramas and leisure books that I read on weekdays: "No matter what he looks like or what he falls into, I will never despise him or abandon him. I am willing to be with him." Misfortunes and blessings follow each other, and joys and sorrows come together!"

Paused, and added the last dose of strong medicine——

"In my heart, Yunzhou Island is not bitter. As long as two people who love each other are together, everyone in the world can be home!"

The girl's loud words echoed in the hall for a long time, shocking everyone in the Shi family, including the few figures who stood in the dark outside the door for a long time—

One is Emperor Yun who went out of the palace in a micro-service, the other is the chief eunuch who served him, and the other is the protagonist Shi Xuanling said "loves" like crazy and will never change until death, the more blameless.

After Emperor Yun issued the imperial decree, he quietly left the palace and brought Yue Wujiu with him, just to see the reaction of the Shi family.

The Emperor's heart is unpredictable, suspicious and irritable, and he hates dishonesty and betrayal the most in his life. If Shi Xuanling didn't stand up this time, the whole Shi family might suffer.

"I really didn't expect that Shi Zhongqing, a heartless and ungrateful person, would have such a daughter who values ​​love and righteousness..."

Emperor Yun sighed leisurely, but the young man beside him stood there motionless, with only a pair of eyes fixed on the center of the hall, looking at that slender and firm back, unbelievable.

At this moment, he has already gone through the past few years in his mind, but he still hasn't found any intersection between himself and the third lady of the Shi family!

He didn't even know what she looked like, and he never really said a word to her!

Shi Xuanling has always been locked in the attic. Since she escaped three times when she was a child and was arrested, Father Shi has kept her under strict surveillance and rarely let her leave the house on weekdays.

When Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanqin went out to play, she was locked in the attic, lying on the side of the railing bored, counting the white clouds in the sky one by one.

For many years, Yue Wujiu's impression of her was just a vague shadow above the attic.

But now, listening to her earth-shattering "show of love", the more I recall it carefully, the more I feel blessed, and I think of a past event, could it be because of... those shoes?

I don't remember which year it was, but he sneaked to the back door of Shi's house to find Shi Xuanqin to fly a kite, but he accidentally raised his head and saw a pair of snow-white feet.

On the attic, the girl was sitting by the railing, her long skirt barely covered her ankles, and in the breeze, her bare feet were dangling in mid-air.

At that time, Yue Wujiu just glanced at it, and the roots of his ears turned red instantly.

It's ridiculous, how can a woman's feet be easily exposed in front of others?
He immediately turned his head and couldn't help asking Shi Xuanqin, "Why isn't your third sister wearing shoes?"

"She's always been weird, maybe her shoes don't fit her feet well."

Shi Xuanqin didn't want to talk about her third sister's "heterogeneity", so she just evaded it casually. Although Yue Wugui was strange, he didn't take it to heart.

After all, they are two people who have no intersection at all.

Only a few days later, he went to look for Shi Xuanqin again, but before going out, his mother stuffed him with a pair of exquisite new shoes, saying that they were made for the second lady, and asked him to send them out.

He has been childhood sweethearts with Shi Xuanqin for many years, and his mother has long regarded Second Miss as her future daughter-in-law, making small things by herself every few days and sending them to him.

But that time, Yue Wujiu pushed open the back door, and saw the faint figure on the attic, and for some reason, accidentally put the shoes by the door on the first floor of the attic.

Compared with Shi Xuanqin, who lacks everything, maybe her third sister needs such things more?
They are not much different in age, and their body shapes are similar. Shi Xuanqin is a few years older and taller than her third sister. Maybe the size of the shoes is a bit too big for her third sister, but it can also be worn for a longer time. some.

Yue Wugui thought to himself, his mother's craftsmanship has always been excellent, and Miss Shi San in the attic should not dislike the pair of shoes she made by herself, would she be willing to accept them?
At that time, it was just a sudden kindness from the young man, and he forgot it not long after turning around, but now that I think about it carefully, this is the only intersection between them.

Did she know that the shoes were given by him?Just because he gave her a pair of beautiful new shoes, she has been in love with him for many years?
-

The mind was full of doubts, and it was almost a sleepless night. Finally, on the day when he boarded the ship at the pier, he found the answer for himself.

Emperor Yun was very grateful for Miss Shi San's deep affection, and issued an imperial decree, Shi Xuanling replaced Shi Xuanqin, accompanied Yue Wujiu to go to sea, stayed on Yunzhou Island as a family member, and the two accompanied and supported each other and took care of each other.

Although there is no red candle wedding dress and a big wedding, Miss Shi San has become her "family" and is tied to her.

From then on, honor and disgrace follow each other, fate is shared and inseparable.

Until the day of boarding the ship, when Yue Wujiu was waiting for Shi Xuanling at the pier, he was still in a daze and couldn't be sure.

Until, the girl appeared——

With black hair in a long skirt and a smile like a flower, accompanied by the sound of crisp bells, like a light elf in the mountains, galloping towards him in the sun.

Yue Wugui stood at the pier, stunned.

Being punished to go to Yunzhou Island, as, as for being so happy?
Could it be that she really wanted to be with him?
The boy's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at the girl's feet. She was wearing a pair of moon-white shoes today, with fresh and elegant jacaranda flowers embroidered on the upper.

Jacaranda—is it a Jacaranda? !
The boy's heart was beating even faster. He had no memory of the pair of shoes that he gave away at that time, but he knew clearly that his mother's favorite pattern to embroider over the years was the jacaranda flower!

Most of the shoes that were sent out back then were also embroidered with jacaranda flowers.

At that time, the size was a bit too big, but now it looks just right on the feet of girls.

Everything seemed so true that he had no reason to doubt it.

Standing under the bright sun, Yue Wujiu couldn't describe his inner feelings at this moment. Looking at the figure that was rushing towards him, he murmured unconsciously:

"Could it be that this woman really... pleases me?"
