Invincible little uncle

Chapter 58
The guards at the city gates are all veterans, so they are naturally well versed in who can enter the capital directly without a customs clearance document.

And the little prince, as well as the increasingly mysterious and cold little princess belong to this list.

The little prince doesn't go out of town very often.

And this little princess doesn't return to Beijing very often.

But the younger generation also has invisible privileges for these two, so it is not difficult to remember.

Under the watchful eyes of merchants lining up in caravans in the heavy snow, Xia Yuxue entered the city directly from the void, and the new guards naturally had already recited the people who "bring their faces into the city" well.

It's rare to see such a character, wanting to show off, he was about to stand at attention and salute, shouting "My lord princess, you have worked hard", but the old gangsters pulled the hem of his clothes, and then said in a low voice, "This I don't want my identity to be revealed."

So the girl in the red sword and black robe walked into the city proudly without any hindrance.

The only remaining giant behind her is wearing a mask, and his figure is coercive and frightening.

Some stunned youths in the caravan wanted to ask "why didn't she line up", but they were pulled down by some old people who had seen it.

In the heavy snow, Xia Yuxue was strolling on the street, only then did he realize that it would not be good to go back empty-handed to meet the little emperor uncle, so he threw an ingot of gold ingot on the street, and exchanged it for the three altars of the best "Mingyue Invitation" craft brew, and then the heavy-armored giant Holding the wine jar in his hand, he worked hard like following a young master who was shopping.

In the palace, the snow scene is quite beautiful, but the concubines are really delicate and don't want to go out, or they are huddled under the eaves to eat candied fruit, or they are dancing and writing in Tianshuang Pavilion, singing the praises of the wind, flowers, snow and moon.

Xia Yuxue walked along the main road, and when the maid saw her, she would ask "See you, princess", and if the other brothers and sisters bumped into her, they would smile distantly and keep their distance.

Xia Yuxue didn't mind at all, she came to the palace where the little emperor's uncle was, and asked Zhiyun, the court lady, but Zhiyun didn't know where the little emperor's uncle was going. I went to Miss Peiyu, or I went fishing.

Peiyu is Wang Jiuying, and the little maids naturally don't know her true identity.

Xia Yuxue thanked him gently, and went directly to see Wang Jiuying.

The small courtyard of Lenggong is still deserted, and the snow in the courtyard is thick and no one cleans it.

If it wasn't for the young prince's insistence, this small courtyard would probably be empty, and the rebels would live in it, which is simply absurd.

Xia Yuxue pushed the door in, and saw a woman dressed in red sitting under the eaves, staring at the snowflakes all over the sky in a daze, all the baby fat on Guazi's face disappeared, and she was as thin as a rib Yes, her complexion was very pale, and that look in her eyes made people feel lost at first glance.

"Xia Guang isn't here?"

Xia Yuxue closed the door when the giant entered the small courtyard with its head low, while the giant sat down in front of the door, unable to open it for anyone who came. The people who came out couldn't get in, and the people who got out couldn't get out. Dogs and chickens wouldn't stay, and blood flowed like rivers, so the door was blocked first when entering, and the giant has become used to it.

Wang Jiuying's expression was indifferent, and she said hoarsely, "Not here."

Xia Yuxue turned her head to look at the heavy-armored giant, and the giant nodded, indicating that there was indeed only one person here.

The little princess in the red knife and black robe showed a gentle smile and said politely, "Excuse me."

Although she was talking, she didn't sit forward. She was average in skill, judged others by herself, and was afraid of being overshadowed, so she stood in the middle of the heavy snow with dignity, and narrated softly: "When I returned to Beijing, I was on the road. I met a player who kept a bird. He liked the canary he raised very much. It is golden, beautiful, and has a moving voice. It is like a lover. After a long time, it is like a relative. It is inseparable. Food and drink are kept for offerings."

Wang Jiuying looked at Xue silently without saying a word.

Xia Yuxue continued to speak gently: "Unfortunately, this canary is getting thinner and thinner day by day. Do you know why?"

The red lotus maiden with melon-seeded face seemed to have sensed it, and raised her head to look at the girl standing in the middle of the heavy snow talking, and waited for the next article.

A smile curled up on Xia Yuxue's lips, "Because that canary is wild, wild birds yearn for a vast world, not a cramped birdcage, no matter how good and rich the birdcage is, it will still be worthless." It's just a cage.

Guess what the player did afterwards? "

Wang Jiuying said in a hoarse voice: "The player is reluctant to part with the canary, so he kept it and died slowly in the cage."

Xia Yuxue smiled and said, "No, the player let it go."

Wang Jiuying chuckled, thinking that this was the end of the story.

But Xia Yuxue immediately said: "Canary was free, and said farewell to the player reluctantly, but because of too long, she has lost the ability to survive in nature, and died within a few days.

It doesn't matter how it died, maybe it was starved to death, maybe it was caught by a hunter, or maybe it was hunted by a raptor for food.

It doesn't matter, death is death. "

Wang Jiuying frowned suddenly, she already understood what the girl meant.

She is the wild canary.

Xia Guang is the master.

She was locked in the palace and raised with good food and drink, so there were no more than two results. One, she died of emaciation, and the other was to be released when she lost the ability to survive in the rivers and lakes.

Then, maybe the emperor couldn't bear her identity as a traitor and sent someone to kill her quietly, or maybe she was killed by the intrigues of the Jianghu, or died at the hands of a stronger person.

Traveling against the current, retreating if not advancing.

Xia Yuxue was telling the story of the canary, but this story had already helped her figure out all the lines of fate.

This made Wang Jiuying couldn't help asking: "Why did you tell me this story?"

The girl in the red knife and black robe still had a gentle smile: "You are a family member recognized by the little emperor, and naturally you are also my family member. Seeing that you are bored here, I just tell you a story to entertain you.

Do you want wine?
Seeing that you are very sad and haggard, you really look like that little canary. "

Wrapped in red clothes, Wang Jiuying was in a state of confusion until the little princess and the giant who came to visit suddenly did not notice it, but there was a jar of fine wine in front of the door, and the words "Bright Moon Invitation" were engraved on the jar vertically, flamboyant and phoenix dancing. .

Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the bright moon also invites people.

The red lotus maiden in red with an oval face patted the clay off the wine jar, but she couldn't get rid of the story of the canary in her mind.

Every sentence, every word the woman said was deeply etched in her mind.

How about running away?

But how to escape?
After leaving the imperial palace, they will reorganize the White Lotus Sect and become an enemy of the royal family. Then they just need to avoid Xiao Guang. Once such thoughts start, they can no longer be dealt with.

She drank the wine one sip at a time, a quiet flame burning in her thin abdomen.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door, it was Zhihua, Xia Guang's court lady.

Although the appearance is ordinary, but she has the same oval face as Wang Jiuying, said: "Tomorrow I will go to the capital market to buy some things, and the little prince specially asked me to ask the girl if she needs anything. It snows heavily in winter." , people have become lazy, it is not easy to go out once."

The red lotus saint raised her head, looked at the smiling maid at the door, and said, "Thank you, my lord, but I still need to think about it, how about coming back tomorrow?"

Zhihua smiled and said, "Then tomorrow morning, I'll come and ask the girl again."
