Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 26 The Garden Meets the Emperor
The weather in May is warm and strong, and the imperial garden is full of flowers in different poses.The red peonies are extremely delicate and beautiful; the pink roses are charming and charming; the purple roses are dignified and beautiful; the white magnolias are flying in the wind;

There were bursts of laughter in the fragrant imperial garden. A ten-year-old boy was having a great time fluttering butterflies in the garden. A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was sitting in the gazebo watching the boy play.Situ Jing came quietly behind the boy in the gazebo, patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "Hey, melancholy boy, what are you doing sitting here?" I turned around and saw that it was Situ Jing standing behind me. Where did the frivolous person come from, and asked, "Brother Jing, what are you doing here when you're not in Qingxi Palace?"

Situ Jing sat beside me, looked at Situ Jie who was enjoying himself, and said to me: "Hai, why don't you play with Xiaojie, isn't it boring to sit here?" Looking at Situ Jie among the flowers from the chair, he asked, "Aren't you in charge of today's guards? Why did you come here?" Situ Jing smiled and said, "It's not thanks to your idea to let the guards mix in the crowd in casual clothes." , can play the role of guard without wearing armor to affect the atmosphere of the wedding, now I slip out happily and leisurely."

I turned my head to look at Situ Jing beside me, and asked, "Brother Jing, you are in your early twenties, why aren't you married?" Situ Jing scratched his head and asked, "Why do you ask this?" I said to him with a smile "Brother Jing, do you like men and not women, so you are not married? To be honest with me, I don't mind." Situ Jing looked at me with his head tilted, and said mysteriously: "Why do you say that? Could it be that he fell in love with me and wanted to marry me? But your hope is in vain, your brother and I are normal men, and of course I like women."

Hearing what he said, I almost choked to death. I don't know what his head is pretending to think so crookedly.He coughed a few times and said: "Ahem, why do you think so, I like you but it's just pure brotherhood, I don't have any wrong thoughts about you. I just thought of it suddenly and wanted to ask you, If you don’t want to say it, forget it, don’t lead me to it.”

"It's just that I don't have anyone I like, so I haven't been married. I don't want to marry someone I haven't even met." Situ Jing put his right hand around my waist and said to me: "Hai, miss spring? Are you still married?" It's too young, let's talk about it in a few years."

"What do you mean I'm still young? I'm much older than you when you count it." I shook off his hand, thumped his chest and said, "Sichun? It's still spring, it's so ugly." Situ Jing rubbed his aching chest and complained: "You never told me how old you are, I only know that you are only 13 years old now."

I stared at him with a slight smile, and said softly: "Do you want to know my age?" Situ Jing grabbed my hand with excitement flashing in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Hai, do you want to tell me? I really want to know my age." I'm so happy, I finally know the secret of the sea." I rubbed my aching hand that was caught by him, and said to him, "It's not impossible to know, but there is a price to pay." Situ Jing looked at me , and asked with a smile: "What price do you want? No matter my body or soul, as long as you want it, I will give it to you."

Take advantage of me whenever you have time, and directly say that if you are a big living person, it would be good to return your body and soul. He gave him a blank look and said: "What do I want your body and soul to do, I can't afford to support you. I There is only one request, call me brother." Situ Jing looked embarrassed when he heard me say that, and said, "Call me brother? I'm not used to it."

I shook his hand and asked angrily: "Should I call or not? It's fine." Seeing his embarrassment, I thought it was funny, and I really took it seriously when I said it, but he didn't want to call him brother. It's a shame.Seeing that I was a little angry, Situ Jing reluctantly said, "You can just call and nothing will happen, Brother Hai." I stroked his head and said softly, "That's good. Now let me tell you, I I just passed my 19th birthday when I came here, and after staying here for three years, I made it clear that I will be 22 years old in three more months, so it won’t be a disadvantage for you to call me brother.” The time in this world is different from the time in the original world Two months later, my birthday was moved two months earlier and changed to August.

In fact, the last day in the underworld was my 19th birthday. I originally planned to let the king of reincarnation help me celebrate, but I didn't expect him to plot against me. My poor 19th birthday was spent in the way of reincarnation. Ingenious birthday bar.I waved to Situ Jie among the flowers, signaling him to come to the gazebo for a rest.

Situ Jie ran into the gazebo, leaned against me, and smiled at Situ Jing beside me, "Brother Jing, you are here too, you are so tired from playing." Situ Jie always likes to cuddle up against me, maybe It's because there are too few family affections in the palace, he will stick to me every time I come, but I like him quite a bit, he is very innocent at such a young age.I wiped the sweat off Situ Jie's forehead and said, "Come and sit down, I'll tell you a story."

Situ Jie likes the stories I tell very much. Maybe there are few entertaining books in this world. No matter what I tell are Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, myths and legends or even ancient allusions, he always listens to them with great interest and asks them like a hundred thousand whys. Asking that makes me laugh out loud every time.As soon as Situ Jie heard that I wanted to tell a story, he clapped his hands and said happily: "Okay, okay, Brother Hai's stories are all very good. What story are you going to tell today?"

I paused and said, "Today I will tell you a story about Kong Rong giving pears. It is said that Kong Rong was well read and clever when he was a child. At the age of four, he was able to recite many poems and Fu, and he knew etiquette. He was loved by his parents. One day Father bought some pears and went home, picked the biggest pear and gave it to Kong Rong. Kong Rong shook his head, picked up the smallest pear and said, "I am the youngest, so I should eat the smaller pear. Give the bigger one to my brother." The father was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and asked again: "Your brother is also younger than you?" Kong Rong said: "My brother is younger than me, so I should let him go." The story of Kong Rong's pear spread throughout the city, everyone We all know that the Kong family has a clever and good son. Since then, this story has been circulated for a long time, and many parents use things about Kong Rong to educate their children." I looked to the side, thinking that Situ Jing had already left, but unexpectedly He was also listening to my story carefully, with a thoughtful look on his face.

I looked at Situ Jie beside me, and asked, "Xiaojie, tell us what this story tells us?" Every time I told him an allusion, I would ask him what he learned from it, and I was also He is half a mentor.Situ Jie blinked at me and said, "Tell us to know the virtue of humility." I patted his head and praised: "Well, Xiaojie is so smart. You have to remember this story, don't just think about it." I need to think more about others." Situ Jie nodded, expressing his understanding.

At this time, the originally quiet Royal Garden burst into commotion, and a very deep voice came from behind me, "Okay! Long time no see, Haier knows so much."

When I looked back, it turned out that Emperor Situ Haoren of the Yun Dynasty was standing behind us. Hearing what he said, he should have come while I was telling the story. Maybe he didn't interrupt me while I was telling the story.I pulled up Situ Jie who was leaning against me, patted Situ Jing who was beside me in a daze, and saluted the emperor: "Situ Hai (Situ Jing, son-in-law) sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor (father)."

The emperor nodded slightly and said: "There is no need to be polite, get up." Then he waved his hand to the outside of the hall, signaling his entourage to step down.After all the attendants left the imperial garden, they said to us: "There are only four of us here now, let's call me Uncle."

Situ Jing came back to his senses from the story just now after I photographed him, and quickly asked, "Uncle Emperor, is the wedding banquet over? Why did you come to the imperial garden?" I don't know if this is the first time I have told I still saw me tell the story of Kong Rong that he wanted to know, and he was in a daze after listening to my story.

The emperor sat down on the stone bench, hugged Situ Jie beside him in his arms, and said: "The wedding banquet is not over yet, but I am getting old, and my back hurts after sitting for a long time, so I came to the Imperial Garden to relax." Take a walk to relax."

It's the first time I've been in the palace to look at the emperor up close. He's not a few years older than my father, at most about fifty years old. It may be because of the heavy state affairs. His face is full of vicissitudes and is very majestic. The body is rough and domineering, and every move shows the majesty of the emperor, which is sacred and inviolable.Only by facing the prince alone can he show a fatherly look on his majestic face, but it can't be too obvious. Maybe this is the sorrow of the royal family. The emperor can't show favoritism to any prince, and can only care for him in secret.It is said that the second prince is the prince who is most likely to be canonized as the prince, but in my opinion, the emperor always has a loving expression when facing any prince, but only when facing Jie will he show a loving expression.If my guess is correct, the crown prince may belong to the second prince Situ Rui, but the throne of the emperor must belong to the seventh prince Situ Jie.
