Chapter 51 Mermaid Jade Cicada
"Father! Sit down and rest for a while.
Seeing the Amber Dragon King coming in, Qianqi stood up from his chair to meet him, and then he was busy handing his father a cup of hot tea.
Amber Dragon King was shocked by Qianqi's series of actions. In the past, his son was always rash and rarely showed care and consideration for others. In this short time, he really seemed to have grown up a lot.
"How are you all the way? I didn't have time to say a few more words to you just now. Qianqi asked shyly.
In this case, he must not be able to say it before. Maybe it's right. It's good to be at home for a thousand days, and it's difficult to go out. In the past, I didn't want to escape from my father all the time, and even said a word to him was a troublesome thing. But in the past few days, although I have finally achieved my wish, my missing my father and Dongyao has increased day by day.
"The journey went smoothly, but I didn't go to Dongyao for a long time. Seeing the dilapidated scenes outside made me sigh. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older that I have so much emotion about what I saw along the way, alas. The Amber Dragon King briefly fell into meditation. He once rode the dust, but now he has become so sentimental. In the past, he closed himself in Dongyao for peace, but later everything proved that he was wrong. Even if he got a moment of peace, the change outside Dongyao was still inseparable from himself, more specifically, it was inextricably related to his descendants. Even if he dies, he has no regrets, but Qianqi still lives here. The turmoil and war he will face are still inevitable.
"The world outside Dongyao is indeed different from what I thought before, but it has also given me a lot of new ideas. These days, my companions and I have defeated Rasha's mother, went to Hongye and Xiao Leng's Ouyang Ancient House, where they lived in the world, and also went to the Kingdom of Huangquan, met the devil of Yan Luo, and made friends with rhaziness. A good friend fought with the spirit warrior for countless rounds, and then passed through the golden and maple forest, and went to Xianhequan Township to see the legendary feather crane fairy..."
Qianqi's experience after leaving Dongyao is like Shu Jiazhen, but he didn't mention Xia Qiu's name, because he just wanted to think about her appearance, and his heart would faintly hurt.
Amber Dragon King has long seen his son's mind. When it comes to what he has experienced these days, the light in his eyes suddenly fades. Qianqi rarely shows similar expressions, especially in front of people. It should be said that he is optimistic and cheerful, or stubborn in his bones. Since he is sensible, he has rarely seen him flow. Tears, he always smiles unscrupulously, making people feel that there is no trouble in his world.
"Bear by the way, Yu Chan and others also came with me. They will perform at the ceremony with the musicians in the evening." Amber Dragon King remembered that Qianqi and Yu Chan's relationship had always been very good, so he changed the topic.
"I saw her when I just greeted you. Before I could say hello to her, I will meet her before the ceremony." Qianqi suddenly remembered that he was talking to his father, and forgot to let him rest for a while before the ceremony. "Whether you are tired or not, let's take a break first. I will pick you up before the ceremony."
"Well, I didn't think it was a little tired at the moment. There is still some time before the ceremony." The amber dragon king answered.
"Then I'll go out first, father."
Qianqi left the room of the Amber Dragon King and walked straight to the back yard of Kaiyang Hall where musicians and dancers rested.
In the open space of the courtyard, the musicians are sorting out the musical instruments, and the dancers with the veil are also stretching their muscles and bones, reviewing the dance steps. Seeing the arrival of Qianqi, they all stop their busy things and salute Qianqi.
"What about the jade cicada? Why aren't you here?"
Qianqi looked around and couldn't see the jade cicada alone. Although the dancers were wearing veils, he could still recognize the jade cicada at a glance. Yu Chan is one of the mermaids he met by the lake in Dongyao City when he was a child, and he is also a childhood sweetheart, so he is very familiar with her. In addition, even the mermaid is extremely beautiful, and Yu Chan is the best in both figure and appearance.
"The young master, since we arrived at the other courtyard, the jade cicada has disappeared." One of the dancers replied.
"Oh? Do you know where she has gone?" Qianqi couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that Yu Chan was curious about Chen Jigong and sneaked to other places in the palace to play? It was possible for her to do such a big thing.
"She didn't say anything, but she has been thinking about the teenager who had been to Dongyao before."
"A teenager?" Qianqi paused for a moment and suddenly remembered that the teenager she was referring to was Ouyang Xiao Leng. Then she thought of the scene when Ouyang Xiao Leng arrived in the Dongyao Palace that day, Yu Chan invited him to enter the lake to dance with him. She seemed to understand something at once and nodded and said, "I know. You can continue to practice."
Yuchan did go to look for Ouyang Xiao Leng. When she learned that she and other dancers would go to Wangcheng Yongchuan with the Amber Dragon King, the joy in her heart was full of words. During this period of time, she has been thinking about the teenager she gave the bracelet, and finally had a chance to see him again. How could she not make her ecstatic? She had long thought about escaping as soon as she arrived at the Chenji Palace, but she didn't know where to go to see the teenager. The Chenji Palace was really bigger than her. It was many times bigger than Dongyao's Amber Dragon Palace. For her when she first arrived, it was like a huge labyrinth.
She was uneasy and full of expectations. Fortunately, the whole palace was busy with the evening ceremony, so no one paid attention to her, and she was lucky. After a while, she accidentally broke into the courtyard behind the Fuxing Hall. She walked along the corridor for a while and finally saw it from a window. The figure she missed so much.
At this time, Ouyang Xiao Leng had just finished bathing and was being changed into a dress tailored for him by two demon servants. According to his requirements, the dress was mainly white, and the style was improved with reference to some pictures of clothes brought back by Ouyang Hongye from the world. The upper part of the body was similar to the human suit. The style has a long and thick fish pendulum below. The predecessor is a white lotus embroidered with gold and silver silk thread, and the silver fox pattern of the crown on the head is embroidered behind it. The fox tail of the silver fox is going down along the pendulum of the fish. The whole dress is too fine and gorgeous, but it is pure white, otherwise he will not wear it anyway.
But when he just put this dress on his body, he still feels uncomfortable. He is used to wearing light clothes in the world. Occasionally, it's okay to wear a robe with simple fabrics and styles, but it's the first time to wear such a formal dress, and it's even difficult to sit down.
He finally sat in front of the chair and let the demon servant comb his hair. He looked so strange in the mirror. A few days before the ceremony, he was busy dealing with the princes who came to congratulate him, so that his whole face became very stiff. Because Ouyang Hongye told him, even if he couldn't squeeze his smile, he couldn't look too much. Indifference and arrogance, so he tried to make his expression look peaceful, and his voice was as soft as possible, even in the face of people who were unwilling to deal with it. Later, he thought of a good way to imagine them as the people he liked, which seemed to naturally become much easier.
After returning to Wangcheng, there has been no news about Xia Qiu. He actually dreamed of her every night. It was the same yesterday. He dreamed that Xia Qiu was by his side and accompanied him to wait for the beginning of the ceremony. He was a little nervous. She held his hand and told him that she would support him at any time. Somehow, she listened to her words and looked at her. With a smile, he suddenly became no longer nervous. He found that he was more dependent on her than he thought.
When he woke up, he suddenly found that it was just a dream. She still didn't come back. For a moment, she felt so melancholy. He went to the courtyard alone, stood under the plum blossom tree, playing with the guqin strings. The melody that popped without his brain was actually sung by Xia Qiu. Thinking of her, he had a lot of thoughts and mixed feelings. When he thought of her, he always couldn't help but get close to her, and sometimes he would be inexplicably angry with her. In addition to regret, he was also a little afraid.
Yu Chan stood outside the window for a long time. When she was hesitating whether to go in or not, she was patted from behind, which scared her. When she turned around, it turned out to be Qianqi.
"Young master." Yu Chan said with some embarrassment.
"Why did you come here if you didn't prepare with other people in other courtyards?" Qianqi deliberately pretended not to know Yu Chan and asked loudly, which was also to attract the attention of Ouyang Xiao Leng in the room.
"I..." Yu Chan suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Ouyang Xiao Leng heard the sound of Qianqi outside the house. Since he had an argument with him about Xia Qiu, they had not said a word on the way back to Wangcheng to prepare for the ceremony these days. However, at this time, Qianqi took the initiative to run to his door and shouted, which made him curious. He ordered the demon servants around him: "Go to see. What are they arguing about outside the door? If there is anything, invite them in."
"Yes." The demon servant went out.
"The master asked you what you were arguing about. If there is anything, please go in and talk about it." The demon servant said to Qianqi and Yuchan.
"She has something to ask your master." Qianqi pushed the jade cicada into the house with a bad smile.
Ouyang Xiao Leng turned back and saw the woman in tulle standing there. Although he was familiar, he couldn't remember where he had seen it all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but show a doubtful look on his face.
Yu Chan reacted and quickly took off the veil, and then felt that she had done something that did not match her identity, and lowered her head in shame.
"It's you." Ouyang Xiao Leng remembered the light-colored hair in front of him. The girl with blue pupils was one of the mermaid dancers dancing for them in Dongyao Amber Dragon Palace. She also gave him a bracelet. "What's the matter?"
Yu Chan didn't know his true identity, so he answered without too many worries: "I just want to come to see you at the ceremony."
She looked down at his wrist and found that he was not wearing the bracelet she gave him. Although she knew that the bracelet was nothing to people like him who lived in the palace, it still somewhat disappointed her.
"Well, I have to prepare for the ceremony. If there is nothing urgent, I won't talk to you more." Ouyang Xiao responded indifferently and turned around again, signaling the demon servant to continue to help him tidy up his hair and dress.
"Good." Yu Chan retreated.
She also knew that she broke in in her own capacity and felt very lucky not to be scolded by such a noble person as him. Although his indifferent attitude made her a little frustrated, it was also her wish to see him. She went to the courtyard of Kaiyang Hall with her own memory. On the way, I met Qianqi who was waiting there.
"How's it going?" Qianqi asked with a bad smile.
"I want you to take care of it!" Yu Chan stuck out his tongue and said.
Such a naughty person can only dare in front of Qianqi. Although Qianqi is the high-ranking young master of Dongyao, because they have been playmates since childhood, Qianqi treats her like a sister. This is why she is very free even among dancers, and the song and dance department specializing in music and dancers dare not take her. It's like.
"I'm sure you haven't heard anything good, have you? Don't take it to heart, that ice face can't even smile!" Qianqi comforted.
"Hmm." Yu Chan lowered her head and was a little melancholy, but it soon dissipated. "But it doesn't matter. I'm satisfied to meet that adult, you know? He still remembers me!"
"Is that guy that good?" Qianqi asked unconvincedly.
"What, do you have a bad relationship with him?" Yu Chan realized that Qianqi didn't go in with her to say hello, so she walked away alone.
"Nothing." Qianqi smiled and said, "You'd better go back to the other hospital quickly. It's almost the time before the ceremony starts. Do you remember the way back?"
"Hmm." Yu Chan nodded and said goodbye to Qianqi and ran to the other courtyard. All the way, he thought about finally seeing the teenager he missed day and night. His cheeks were red and his heart beat faster.
