Not as beautiful as the uncle

Chapter 65 Not as Beautiful as the Emperor's Uncle
After the early court, the emperor happily held up his dragon robe and wanted to play, but was suddenly stopped by someone on the dragon chariot.

"Your Majesty." Shen Zhibai frowned, and cupped his hands at him: "I have something to announce."

Lord Zhibai is now an important minister of the imperial court, even if the emperor is not happy, and wants to bypass him to play, he can only accept him and go to the imperial study with him.

"What is Hou Ye going to do?" he asked.

The expression on Shen Zhibai's face was very strange, he stepped forward and cupped his hands, instead of handing over the notebook, he asked, "Your Majesty dreamed of that immortal last night, besides the matter of the court, what else did you say?"

ha?The little emperor blinked, a little puzzled.Hou Ye stopped him from playing, just to ask this?
However, looking at the strange expression on his face, the emperor thought for a while, and said: "I don't remember clearly, but I remember that he is very good-looking, with delicate cloud patterns embroidered on the red robe, white hair and frost. He was draped behind him like snow. He told me about Zhongyonghou and left."

There was no need for the little emperor to lie to him, Shen Zhibai shook his body, and stood there silently.

For five years, he had never dreamed of Shen Guyuan once, and he was expected to have lost his soul, so he couldn't even enter the dream.But why is the emperor dreaming now?Will it...

After thinking for a while, Shen Zhibai exited the palace, got into the car and said, "Go to Meilin on the outskirts of the city."

The servant who was driving took a deep breath, rubbed his hands and said, "Master Hou, the snow outside the city is very thick and cold. Are you going to enjoy plum blossoms at this time? I'm afraid the prince will blame you."

"It's not your fault, go!" Shen Zhibai frowned.

It has been a long time since I have seen my Lord Hou look like this. People in the court and the mansion said that Lord Zhibai has turned his heart to Buddhism since he divorced his wife. Apart from being loyal to the court, he is not very concerned about worldly affairs. Take care.Even if someone died in front of him, he might not frown.

But now the Lord Zhibai in front of him seemed to be alive and became anxious.

The coachman didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly drove out of the city.

The Meilin outside the city is an evil place, the scenery is unique, and not many people go there.According to legend, a long time ago, there was a Yuelao Temple here, with yellow tiles and red walls, very magnificent.However, I don't know what happened, that Yue Lao Temple disappeared overnight, and within half a year, a thatched cottage was built in Meilin, and a girl lived here alone.

In the beginning, there were hooligans who tried to hit the girl, but I don't know what happened, the girl was intact, but the villain went crazy, ran back to the city in ragged clothes, and yelled that there was a ghost in Merlin.

The rumors of Meilin's haunting became more and more evil, and the people sent by the government all came back with ashen faces, so a year later, no one dared to disturb that place.Occasionally, there are literati who want to admire plum blossoms, but they just stand far away and take a look.

The coachman was very worried, would something happen to Hou Ye if he went like this?
However, when he arrived at Meilin, Shen Zhibai got out of the car, stepped into Meijian very familiarly, turned around, and after three sticks of incense, he stood at the door of the thatched cottage and knocked on the door.

The thatched house door opened, Ning Chiyu looked up with a Mrs. Tang in his arms, and when he saw him, he was slightly taken aback: "Why are you here?"

Shen Zhibai smiled: "It's getting cold, let's come and see you."

Leaning to let him in, shutting out the wind and snow, Chi Yu sat back beside the stove and said with a smile: "What's so interesting about me, I still look like this. Ye Lincheng came here the day before yesterday and brought me enough winter clothes and quilts .”

"He runs fast." Shen Zhibai pursed his lips: "However, he will be invisible for a while. I heard that he just stole the Dielianhua Suzhou embroidery [-]-fold screen from Zhongyonghou's mansion, so angry that Zhongyonghou ordered him wanted. .”

Chi Yu raised the corner of his mouth: "Marquis Zhongyong has always had trouble with me. He stole the screen not for himself, but to vent his anger for me by changing ways."

Having said that, Shen Zhibai paused, and looked at her cautiously.

"What?" Chi Yu poured him a cup of hot tea, "Master Hou seems to have something on his mind today."

"You and Zhongyonghou..." Shen Zhibai pondered: "Does Shen Guyuan know about the conflict between you?"

Her heart, which was already restless, suddenly shrank into a ball when she heard this name. Chi Yu hugged Mrs. Tang tightly, and looked up at him in a daze: "Why...ask this all of a sudden?"

For five years, she has been living here, waiting for someone who is impossible to come back.

The red sachet and the "卍" made of mud have faded slightly, and they are hung by her window, shaking when the wind blows.

She tried her best not to think about Shen Guyuan's affairs, and tried her best to pretend that he didn't die, but just traveled far away.As long as she waits here, one day she will be able to wait for him.

She hadn't dreamed of him for five years, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.He walked so cleanly that he didn't even leave her with a single nightmare.Sometimes when she got up and opened the door, and saw the patch of Merlin, she even wondered if such a person had really appeared in the world, and could everything she knew be just a dream?

However, today, Shen Zhibai mentioned this name, it was only three words, and the combination made her eyes red.

Shen Zhibai felt a little guilty: "I didn't mean to make you sad, but today His Majesty said that there was a red-clothed and white-haired fairy dreaming of him, asking him to strictly investigate the corruption of Zhongyonghou."

Chi Yu shook his hand, and Mrs. Tang almost fell.She looked at him in shock: "What did you say? Your Majesty dreamed of him?"

"Your Majesty said that he is a very good-looking person. I guess... there should be no one else who has white hair and loves to wear red clothes. Even if there is, he certainly can't be satisfied with the word 'beautiful as a flower'." Shen Zhibai lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty has no reason to lie to me, and he shouldn't remember Shen Guyuan, so...it should be right."

Ning Chiyu stood up, his eyes suddenly brightened like stars: "Is he back? Is it possible for him to come back?"

"Don't be so excited." Shen Zhibai said, "It's just a dream."

"No." Chi Yu murmured: "Su Ming told me that the Immortal who has lost his soul will not exist in people's dreams. If someone can dream, he must be back!"

"Really?" Shen Zhibai also became excited.

Chi Yu nodded, looked around in a panic, put away the messy things on the table, refilled Mrs. Tang with hot water, turned around, licked her hair on her temples, and said brokenly: "He must be When I’m coming back, I have to prepare. He likes to eat candied haws, so I have to buy two bunches. Ah, there are still windmill rattles and Luban locks in the box over there. I don’t know if he still likes it after so long. Where has he been for so many years? Why did the emperor dream, why didn't he come to my dream?"

"Chi Yu." Shen Zhibai held her down: "Calm down."

"Me? I'm very calm." Chi Yu smiled at him.

Looking down at her trembling hands, Shen Zhibai felt a little distressed.

No one knows how Ning Chiyu came here these years, Shen Guyuan walked freely, but she has been living in memories and guilt and has not come out.In other words, it's San Huangshu's best method. Originally, there was no fate between the two of them, and they couldn't get together. He just wanted to make Ning Chiyu miss him for the rest of his life.

However, if that person really came back and saw Chi Yu's current appearance, he would be heartbroken to death.

Ning Chiyu walked around the house a few times, and after finishing everything, she squatted at the door with Mrs. Tang in her arms and waited.

It was snowing lightly outside and the wind was strong. When the door was opened, the house was suddenly chilled.

Shen Zhibai frowned and went over to give her a hand: "You can wait until the door is closed, you will catch a cold."

"I..." Chi Yu pursed her lips: "I didn't wait for him, I was just a little hot and wanted to calm down."

Who are you kidding?Shen Zhibai shook his head, untied the white fox cloak on his body, and put it on her back.

Chi Yu didn't notice it. She squinted her eyes and looked at the snow outside. There was a quiet smile on the corner of her mouth, and her whole body seemed to be shining slightly.

Shen Zhibai suddenly felt a little regretful, why did he tell her to wait like this, what if she couldn't wait?
"Do you know? I've tried to understand a lot of things over the years." Looking at Xue, she whispered, "Shen Xi didn't know how to wear red clothes before, he is a general, and he likes dark clothes the most. How could I like to wear this gaudy red. I didn't realize it before, but I remembered later that I am the one who likes red clothes."

He forgot her, but subconsciously still remembered the bright red body that loved her.

"It's strange, I didn't pay attention to this when I was thinking about the past." She tilted her head and smiled: "Isn't he very awkward?"

A few words in a relaxed tone, but Shen Zhibai's chest felt tight, he frowned, and said in a low voice: "It's quite awkward."

"But I'm even more awkward than him." Chi Yu smiled and his eyes turned red: "I clearly like him so much, but I can't let him go, but I'm not with him. I even believed his nonsense, thinking that I can save him." Man he will not die."

"I don't blame you." Shen Zhibai shook his head: "No one can blame it."

It's all destiny, who can tell right from wrong?

Chi Yu felt her nose sour, but thinking about Shen Guyuan coming back, she took a deep breath and said happily: "No one will blame, as long as he comes back, no one will blame."

Shen Zhibai sighed silently.

Ningchi Yu in front of him is very bright, his eyes are staring straight outside, like a child waiting for a gift, eagerly looking forward to it.

If she waits like this, Shen Guyuan will definitely come back, Shen Zhibai thought.

However, one day passed, the sky darkened, and the snow fell more and more, but there was still no shadow of Shen Guyuan at the door of the thatched cottage.

The smile on Chi Yu's face was a little stiff, and the light in his eyes dimmed, but he still didn't give up, holding Mrs. Tang in his arms and waiting.

Someone walked towards the hut, and their shoes creaked on the snow.

The dim eyes lighted up again in an instant, Chi Yu jumped up, rushed forward and opened the door.

The coachman stood outside the door, looked at her with a little fear, and then said to the house: "Master Hou, it's time for you to go back."

Shen Zhibai got up, looked at Chi Yu's brightening and darkening face, he couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "You might as well pretend that I didn't say anything today, waiting is a very laborious thing, the more you look forward to Hope, the more troublesome you are."

"..." Chi Yu sent him out stiffly.

How could it be assumed that he hadn't said anything?She thought for so long, waited for so long, finally had some hope, how could she give up so easily.

The lamp carried by the coachman glowed orange, slowly swaying out of Merlin in the dark night.Chi Yu opened the window, let the snow wind blow all over his head and body, and just stared outside.

How can it be said that she and Shen Guyuan have no fate?In the last life, they were involved until death, and in this life they met again by accident. This kind of fate is not something that everyone can have.God gave her a miracle, let her be rescued by Shen Guyuan when she was about to die.So, why not give her another one, let her see him again?
She hadn't told him that she remembered everything, and she hadn't told him that Ning Weiyu in her previous life didn't actually hate him anymore, rather than hate, it was more of a love to the death.She didn't tell him that Ning Chiyu also forgave him, and she could continue to follow him in the future.

He still doesn't know so many secrets, how can he be willing?
The night was low, and the snowy wind blew all night, Chi Yu hoped and hoped, but after all, she still didn't expect the person she wanted to come.

In the morning, the snow stopped, and the wind blew over, bringing a cool plum fragrance.

Looking at the empty snow field, Chi Yu finally couldn't help crying.

He won't come back, I'm afraid he won't come back forever, no matter how much she waits and hopes, he won't come back to look at her again.In her previous life, he made him miserable, and in this life, he will take revenge and let her have a taste of living alone.

She thought about dying in this snow field, but Madam Zheng said that Shen Guyuan put a body shield on her body, and she couldn't die even if she wanted to.

What is this if not revenge?Does he hate her too?I hate her for being so cruel and heartless.

Burying her head in her arms, Chi Yu cried so sadly that the sound of sobbing resounded through half of Merlin.

Someone accidentally stepped on a plum branch that fell in the snow, and there was a clicking sound.

Chi Yu heard it, but didn't look up.She doesn't believe in miracles anymore, and he won't come back to life anyway.

The wind blew through the thatched cottage, and the sachet and the Chinese character "卍" hanging on the window swayed gently, and the cool plum fragrance was getting closer and closer, as if there were plum blossoms blooming by her window.

Chi Yu cried to himself, his tears and snot mixed together, and was blown by the snow wind, all of which froze on his face.

She was crying deeply, and suddenly, someone reached out and stroked her hair.

Chi Yu was taken aback for a moment, his body stiffened for a while, and he slowly raised his head.

The sun rises, and the light shines through the gap of Merlin, outlining the silhouette of a person.

The man had white hair, starry eyes and long eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips pursed, as if he was about to smile with a mocking smile in the next second.She was dressed in a splendid red robe, spacious and luxurious, with exquisite cloud patterns embroidered on it.

He raised his hand and stroked her hair, with rare tenderness in his eyes.

He said: "If you don't come to me, I still have to come to you."

Chi Yu was dumbfounded, stared at him for a long time, then reached out tremblingly, and grabbed his sleeve.

Shen Guyuan lowered his head, looked at her face with disgust, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped it carefully for her.

Chi Yu didn't even blink his eyes, waved his hand away, propped himself up and crossed the window sill, and hurriedly touched his cheek.

Shen Guyuan didn't hide, let her touch his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How does it feel?"

A pain surged from bottom to top in his throat, and Chi Yu cried "Wow", hugging him and refusing to let go.

"Master!" she choked up and yelled out.

Hearing these two words, Shen Guyuan smiled, hugged her behind his back, and patted her gently.

He had a hunch that this time, the two of them would never miss it again.

……

Madam Zheng, Su Ming and Cook Hao stood not far from Merlin, hiding in the barrier and watching the scene on the other side.

Su Ming sighed: "I have only seen the master who survived by forcibly changing the book of life and death."

"You put it lightly." Madam Zheng rolled her eyes at him, "Half his life is gone, and all his immortal bones are gone. If it weren't for the presence of us, how could he survive?"

Shen Guyuan is an ascended immortal, and unlike other innate immortals, he has his own physical body.To rescue Shen Zhibai without his body, only the soul will be hurt.The few of them worked together to keep their souls, but in the end they kept three souls and two souls, and put them back into the physical body to raise them.

To be honest, this kind of method was unheard of and unseen. Madam Zheng and the others had no idea, and they didn't know whether Shen Guyuan could survive.

After tossing and tossing for five years, and feeding all the panacea, Madam Zheng wanted to give up for a while, thinking that it was impossible.

But today, Shen Guyuan woke up unexpectedly.

The first thing I did when I woke up was not to thank them, but to come here!
Shameless, so shameless!
However... Hearing Ningchi Yu's heart-piercing cries, Madam Zheng was still a little sad. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and sighed long: "It's not easy."

"It is indeed not easy."

"Then shall we stay here and watch?"

"What are you looking at!" Madam Zheng said, "There is a new master in the Moon Palace, where did you spend so much time wandering around the world? Go back quickly!"

Su Ming and Cook Hao agreed, and obediently turned around and walked back.Madam Zheng walked last, but she still couldn't help but look back.

Shen Guyuan stretched out his hand and hugged Chi Yu out of the window, the red carp skirt mixed with his red robe, it looked like a wedding dress.

Smiling in relief, Madam Zheng turned her head and walked away slowly.

……

At the age of 15, the little emperor of Daliang found his third uncle, and the whole court was full of joy.Shen Zhibai stood at the gate of Prince Renshan's mansion with his hands behind his back, looking at the re-hanging plaque, he was filled with emotion.

"What?" Ye Lincheng jumped up to him, poked him teasingly with his elbow: "He's back, aren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy." Shen Zhibai chuckled, "It's just that this person is a little bit hateful and has disturbed many people's good deeds."

"Oh?" Ye Lincheng raised his eyebrows curiously: "What good thing?"

"Your Majesty turned fifteen, and many beauties were stuffed into the palace. Originally, His Majesty was willing to accept it, but who would have thought that he would come back suddenly." Speaking of this, Shen Zhibai felt it was funny.The man stood in front of His Majesty, and obviously didn't remember his emperor, so he jumped on him and shouted sweetly: "Uncle Three Emperors!"

The process of recognizing the ancestor and returning to the clan is similar to the last time, except that this time the emperor is no longer the childish child many years ago. Standing in front of him, he is as tall as his shoulders.

"What does he have to do with the emperor's beauty pageant when he comes back?" Ye Lincheng was puzzled.

Shen Zhibai couldn't help laughing: "The most favored person in the palace this year is the daughter of Mr. Tang's family. Some people praised her as if she walks like a wind, and her posture is sui; the clouds are arranging flowers, and the spring is radiant."

"Isn't that good?"

"That's good, but His Majesty said..."

There was a commotion at the gate of Prince Renshan's mansion, it seemed that Shen Guyuan had come out.Shen Zhibai raised his head, looked over from a distance, and saw one of the ten thousand people with white hair like snow, stretching out his hand to protect his lovely wife, and slowly raised his eyes.

Ye Lincheng didn't look back, facing Shen Zhibai scratching his ears anxiously: "What are you talking about?"

After recovering, Shen Zhibai smiled lowly:
"Your Majesty said that the spring is luxuriant, not as beautiful as the emperor's uncle."

The wind blew over the fringes of lights under the eaves, blowing the man's white hair up slightly, the man seemed to have heard his voice, and after carrying Ningchi Yu into the carriage, he turned his head and glanced at him from a distance, his eyes flickered. Everywhere, a piece of peace.

Shen Zhibai closed the fan in his hand, and cupped his hands far away.

When the person who should be waiting has arrived, the dream that should be realized has also come true. Ning Chiyu no longer has any regrets in this life, so he will have no regrets anymore.
