A confused concubine fell from the sky

The next day, Chaoyan woke up and the sun was already high. While helping her to wash and wash, the maids told her that Qin Zheng had left the palace for something, and left a message to explain: breakfast is ready, and there is still room left. Some odds and ends, if you are bored, you can go shopping.So Chaoyan thought about it, ate a few mouthfuls of food indiscriminately, and ran out with some broken silver.

The outside of the imperial capital is lively. She left the Prince Ning's Mansion and ran towards the north. Sure enough, there were rich families all the way. There were people coming and going on the main road. There was a clean alley in front of each palace, and there was a small stone at the entrance of the alley. In Loumenzi, ordinary people dare not go in, they just walk back and forth on the main road to do business.

Chaoyan didn't go in either, based on experience, the light she saw at night was definitely still ahead, so she ran and ran; finally at noon, she was a little hungry, so she bought a few skewers of kebabs and ate them as she went. Continue walking until you reach the gate of the imperial palace.

"It seems that the jade bead should be in the palace... It's not easy now, I have to ask my elder brother for help."

Chaoyan stood still at a distance, the rows of imperial guards guarding solemnly in front of the tall palace gate would not allow her to run in.So she didn't dare to ask for trouble even though she was knowledgeable, so she just stood there looking at the ocean and sighing.

The sun shone on the top of the head, making people feel hot quickly, and Chaoyan's mouth was dry soon.

She turned around and walked a few steps in disappointment, but saw that there was actually a path on the other side of the palace wall, surrounded by the wall of the palace, with shady trees and cool breeze blowing by the roadside, so she thought for a while, and walked onto that path.But he saw a young man riding a bay red horse slowly coming towards him from the small path.Holding a water hyacinth in his hand.

"Ah! This big brother!"

When Chaoyan saw the water hyacinth in his hand, she felt a fire in her throat, so she stepped forward to stop him and said, "Hello, can I borrow your water? I'm thirsty."

The man reined in his horse and gave her a strange look.Only then did Zhaoyan realize that the man was wearing a black uniform and boots with arrow sleeves; he only had one eye, but the left eye was wearing a black eyepatch, as if he looked very impatient.But in the end he still passed the water hyacinth over.

"Thank you, big brother!" Chaoyan took the water hyacinth and downed most of the bottle in one go. The refreshing coolness made her squint her eyes happily. Big brother, you are so kind, I have nothing to repay you, just treat you to a few skewers of mutton skewers!"

"Oh?"

The one-eyed man didn't seem to expect that she would treat him to a kebab, he was taken aback for a moment, and finally accepted it.

The man took the kebab and asked her, "You little girl, why did you run out alone on such a hot day?"

"I can't help it, I'm looking for something." Chaoyan picked up the water hyacinth and took another sip, "By the way, big brother, have you ever heard that there is a bead that fell from the sky near here?"

"Pearls that fell from the sky?" The one-eyed youth seemed to open his eyes wide in an instant, and then quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, back then my grandmother had a jade bead bracelet, which was an heirloom of my family." Chao Yan didn't dare to tell the truth, so she lied, "But the beads were snatched by thieves. , when the man was caught, he tied the bracelet to an eagle he had trained, and was shot down by my grandfather with an arrow; but those beads were scattered and fell from a high altitude, and I don’t know where they fell So, my grandmother sent me out to look for it, and I can’t go home if I can’t find it!”

"Oh? You also have such unreasonable grandparents?"

After hearing this, the young man jumped off his horse, and seeing Chaoyan nodded; he couldn't help showing a distressed expression, and comforted her softly: "Little girl, what's your name? Where do you live?"

"My name is Chaoyan. My family is far away from the capital city." Chaoyan looked up at the young man. At first he seemed a little cold and unapproachable, but now he seemed much gentler, with the only kindness in his eyes. Bright and sincere concern, very warm and cordial.

"Sister Chaoyan, don't be sad, you don't need to recognize such cold-blooded and ruthless relatives." The one-eyed young man gently held her shoulders as if to encourage her, "Since your grandmother regards that family heirloom so important, you don't even hesitate to accept it." Letting you, a granddaughter, come out and look for it is a bastard! Let them find it themselves, don't go back, go with the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will take you in."

After hearing this, Chaoyan thought to herself: This young man is really kind and warm-hearted.But I can't tell him that I live in the palace now, can I?

So she smiled and said, "Thank you, big brother, but I live in my brother's house now, so I won't bother you. Big brother, you are so kind."

"Is that so?" The young man smiled wryly after hearing this: "It seems that you are luckier than me, and you have a brother who loves you."

"Huh? Why did Big Brother say that?" Chaoyan looked at his sad eyes strangely, tilted her head and asked, "Don't Big Brother have an older brother?"

"I have, and there are many more." The one-eyed young man's tone was low and full of sadness, "However, if a person is born blind like me, then no one will be able to see this ugly outside. Accept him. Even his own relatives, grandparents, parents and even brothers!"

"Huh?" Zhao Yan saw that he seemed very sad, so she said, "But I don't think so? I think people like big brother are very heroic, just like the ancient Three Kingdoms who swallowed his eyeballs alive on the battlefield. General Xiahoudun, who fought hard to kill the enemy, I have always admired him since I heard his story; so whenever I see a man like you, big brother, I feel very handsome and full of masculine domineering. I admire the most He must be a man like General Xiahou."

The young man listened, but smiled, stared at her carefully and said: "You little girl, you can talk. No matter what you say is true or not, if I met someone who thinks like you when I was young, maybe now I don't think so." He will hate this world so much, and become a tyrant who doesn't even like himself..."

"Zhen? Big brother, you are...you are..." Chao Yan was taken aback when he heard his claim.

"I am the tyrant that people are talking about now!" The one-eyed young man couldn't help laughing at her panicked appearance, "What's wrong? Are you scared, little girl?"

"That's not true, I'm just surprised." Chaoyan shook her head, and replied without tension, "I didn't expect that I would be able to eat kebabs and drink your water with His Majesty on the road, I'm so surprised... "
