Chapter 96

The son's surname is Ji Mingkao, the eldest son of Marquis of Xiqi, who is now detained by Emperor Yin as a hostage in Chaoge. He was only allowed to go home to visit relatives for one month because Emperor Yin accepted Su as his concubine some time ago and granted amnesty to the world.

It's just that the journey back and forth in this month lasted for more than [-] days. I didn't have time to enjoy the family happiness with my relatives.

The same road, the same people, the same carriage, but I don't know when I will return.

Returning in a hurry, full of joy of returning home.

I was also in a hurry when I went, and I was unwilling and unwilling to be separated.

"My lord, the thousand-mile lotus pond is here." Tong'er lifted the curtains of the car and looked out, her tone was gloomy. If the lord was unhappy, he naturally felt bad too.

"Yeah!" He just responded lightly, and randomly opened the curtains of the car on the other side. The current lotus pond will be a part of his hometown in his memory in the future.

He will be trapped in Chaoge all his life. When he gets old and time passes by, he may forget what his hometown looks like...

The more I want to try my best to grasp something in my heart, but the less I grasp in reality, it turns out that my own strength is so small.

He can't fight back, he can't run away, because we all need peace, we all need tranquility.

He thought that he would have Qin to accompany him in his life, but in the end he realized that he wanted too much, parents, brothers, friends, and even a woman who depended on each other, all of which he longed for, but could not achieve.

Even if you can't get it, you can't help yearning for it.

"Excuse me, please stop."

A gentle voice came from the horse, and the carriage stopped.

The young master got out of the car slowly, and there were willows on both sides of the path, and countless lotus leaves by the pond spread endlessly, dancing and flying.

I wanted to fold a willow branch and take it to Chaogeyuan as a cutting to relieve my homesickness, but looking at the green leaves all over the pond, a name suddenly came to my mind.

leafy.

Many leaves are lotuses, and lotus blooms with thousands of leaves, which are also numerous leaves.

And among the tens of thousands of lotus leaves, he could find that pink and white lotus flower at a glance. It took seven days, but the flowering period had not yet passed.

At this moment, he didn't want to break any wicker. He wanted to dig a lotus plant back to grow. When it produced seeds, he would have a yard full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the coming year.

And he really did like this, sinking into the mud of the lotus pond alone, knee-deep in the mud, and his hemp-white robe was stained with mud spots.

Amidst the exclamation of the coachman and Tong'er, he walked into the lotus pond like a ghost, but the traction that never came made him do so.

When his finger touches the mass of silky and fragrant flowers, he is satisfied in his heart. If he is deceived by something, he thinks he is also willing.

"Will you come with me?"

Whispering in a low voice, as if treating a woman tenderly, it seemed that he was inviting his sweetheart to elope with him.

It was silent, and there was nothing unusual about it, but he felt that it was willing to go with him.

That pair of hands that can play the piano, cook tea, and write eternal articles, just like this, pushes away the mud...

"My lord, let's come!" Tong'er and the coachman also stepped into the lotus pond, the young master actually likes this lotus so much, so just dig it back.

"Be careful not to hurt it."

Although someone helped, the young master still didn't give up. Instead, he kept telling them. After a while, a complete lotus was dug out like this.

But is it really good to just dig the lotus flowers grown by other people like this?
This is not what they are thinking about, how to bring this lotus to Chaoge is the big problem.

Fortunately, there was a small two-foot-square wooden box that was originally used to hold clothes. The clothes were taken out and packed, and a box of pond mud was filled in the big wooden box before the lotus was planted in it, temporarily ensuring a safe journey.

"You will be called Fanye from now on." The young master was finally satisfied.

One lotus, three lotus leaves, that's all.

Chaoge's Proton Mansion has always been guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are protons sent by princes from all sides living in it.These protons are not allowed to enter and leave the proton mansion at will, are not allowed to make friends with officials in the court, and even their protons do not move with each other. Marriage is more stringent, must be over 25 years old, assigned by the king, and the woman's family The status is not high.

This is really no different from going to jail, just a high-ranking prisoner. Under such restrictions, some of the protons have exaggerated temperaments, are irritable and often take down others to vent their anger, and some are thoughtful and sick. The word "talented" is no longer with them.

And Xiqi's proton is considered an elegant person. What is an 'elegant person'?It is a "talented scholar" who only knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, ignores business affairs, does not understand state affairs, and does not understand the sufferings of the people.

The princes of the eight directions are headed by the two princes of the east and the west, but the daughter of the Jiang family of the east prince is the queen, and they are with the royal family, so there is no need to send protons. The east prince has no proton, and the proton of the west prince is still distinguished.

"No matter how noble your status is, you're still not a proton?" In a gentle and warm voice, there was no trace of joy, and he only made a simple comment on the rumors outside, without knowing his position, as if he was not talking about himself.

His life is too boring, he can only live in this proton mansion, but fortunately he has a piano, tea, books, a little book boy chattering in his ear, and now... Fanye.

His eyes fell on the lotus outside the window. He was happier than many people in this world.

The fragrance is wafting, the sound of the piano is moving slightly, and my heart has been joyful for no reason these days, always looking forward to something, maybe... a good thing is coming.

However, the situation in the court seems to have changed a lot. The king only favors Concubine Su, and has not had an early court for three months.

Later, there was an audience at the Kunlun Immortal Palace, and the king summoned him for a court visit. Not long after, Concubine Su was critically ill.

On the day when Concubine Su recovered, the king appointed a priest surnamed Shen as a national teacher to help Concubine Su dominate the harem.

And the lotus in Proton Mansion has grown five lotus leaves.

There is a cool breeze in the night, and the trees on the window are moving, and the scent of lotus is tangy, sweet in the dream, and even more wonderful outside the dream.

The lotus flowers outside the window are swaying and graceful, the flowers are really like hibiscus jade, the layers of light circles are colorful, and the circles of light are scattered from the strongest to the weakest...

Ji Kao was awakened by the sound of water. He put on his clothes and held a candle to look through the window. He was shocked by the scene in front of him for a moment.

The candlelight fell to his feet with a 'snap' and went out.

Still clearly seen by the moonlight, a young girl appeared out of nowhere in the big water tank where the lotus was originally planted...

The lotus leaf is dressed in green clothes, with a clear pink face, but it is not any maid in his mansion, the maid's attire is not like her; it is not any one in the mansion, his intuition.

The girl looked at him quietly, blinked her eyes, she was kind and strange at the same time, I saw her slowly crawling out of the water tank, wearing a pair of lotus color shoes, she cupped her hands and said to him: "See Pass son."

"You are..." Ji Kao was a little scared in his heart, but looking at the empty water tank, there used to be many leaves planted there, but now there is only pond mud left, and then think about whether the girl crawled out of the tank Yes, a ridiculous idea slowly entered his mind, scared him back a few steps, and forced himself to calm down: "Are you Fanye?"

The girl showed a cautious expression, as if she was worried, as if she was promising: "Fanye will never hurt the young master, don't be afraid, young master."

Can you not be afraid?The lotus he raised turned into a monster!Thinking about it this way, the fear in my heart is even worse, and my thoughts are greatly moved...

With a bang, someone fell to the ground.

"Hey!" Fanye's eyes were surprised: "He fainted. Are all human beings so timid?"

At this time, of course, no one answered her.

When Ji Kao woke up again, it was still the same night, in his own room and on his own bed, but it was already the fourth watch, and there was another person in the room, or a demon.

All the memories came back in a daze. He turned a lotus into a demon. Is this true?
The lotus demon was sitting on the side playing with the bronze mirror, muttering to himself: "I am not ugly, how could he be so afraid of me?"

Ji Kao sighed softly, and thought to himself: Humans and monsters have different paths, my fear has nothing to do with your appearance.

This sigh was actually heard by Fanye, and when she turned her head to look, her eyes met.

Ji Kao was taken aback, his heart beating faster.

Fan Ye ran to the bedside when she saw him, and said with joy in her voice, "My lord is awake."

"Hmm!", Ji Kao turned his back to her, the feeling of fear was not so strong, but he still couldn't accept that she was a monster.

How wonderful would she be if she were human...

"If my lord doesn't want to see Fanye, just leave Fanye." There was a bit of resentment in the light tone.

Where is she going?If she is a demon, she can go wherever she wants to go, without restraint, without care, floating between the heaven and the earth, which is much better than the corner where he is trapped.

He was a little envious...

Hearing the footsteps in his ears walking farther and farther away, the slight sense of loss rose for no reason.

It's just that when he saw the lotus plant on the big water tank the next morning, he wasn't sure if she had left...

In the next few days, only lotus flowers were seen, but no one was seen, but he felt that she was there.

Just say no to see each other.

And his fear of her seemed to fade away slowly.

She is a lotus flower, the lotus flower he raised, the lotus flower he named, although he was a little surprised when it turned into a human form, he was willing to believe her words.

She will not hurt him.

It's just that it would be too cruel to let her shrink in the water tank all the time. He subconsciously regarded 'it' as 'her' and treated her as a person and a girl. born in water.

And should he believe that she is a kind-hearted demon?
Walking into her, looking her squarely at her, and after thinking about it, he said, "Should we have a good talk, Fanye."

It's just that after waiting for a long, long time, there was no sound, and no one answered, he felt that Fanye was still angry with him.

If he was treated like this by the person he met for the first time, he would also be angry, not to mention the girl's skin is thin.

"Fanye, will it be cold in the water?"

"Fanye, is the water too dirty?"

"Can I change the water for you?"

Gossiping like this for more than half an hour, Tong'er began to think that his young master was ill, scolded Yaolian severely, stomped his feet angrily, and shouted to throw away the lotus, but he didn't dare.

But Fanye remained silent.

Ji Kao had to give up, thinking to himself: Maybe Fanye fell asleep.

But do demons need to sleep?How long do you want to sleep?
He really doesn't know anymore.
