"Chirp, chirp..." Two sparrows landed next to the piano and jumped between the teacups, as if they could understand the sound of the piano.
Not long after, two more pounced on them, chirping loudly, as if they were dancing around the piano. From time to time, they tilted their heads to look at Hua Jinglan, and they seemed to be listening carefully.
There are more and more birds in the bamboo garden, and the sweet chirping of birds comes and goes, mixed with the sound of flapping wings, coming and going in the courtyard.
After the song ended, Hua Jinglan opened her eyes, just as Haoyue pushed open the courtyard door and came in: "Miss..."
Birds all over the garden flew away in fright, almost blinding Hua Jinglan. She looked at the scene in front of her in amazement, and then cast her astonished gaze on Chun Yuyan. Chunyu Yan nodded to her and said with a smile: "Just like that time in the main hall, Lan'er's music can make hundreds of birds dance."
A feather fell on her hand, and Hua Jinglan's lips opened into a smile. She looked around at the birds that had landed on the branches of the courtyard wall and refused to leave, and said, "It's really magical to control the beasts with sound."
Bright Moon walked in with the cakes in her hands, her eyes filled with joy, "The sound of the lady's piano can actually attract hundreds of birds. If outsiders see it, they will be amazed again."
"We can't let outsiders know this." Hua Jinglan said, "If you let Yan Qing go back to my aunt, just say that I won't wait for her birthday."
"Miss, why is this?" Jiao Yue asked in surprise.
"I'm getting more and more talkative, go ahead." Hua Jinglan glanced at her with feigned anger, and Gaoyue stuck out her tongue and turned around.
When they returned to the yard, Mei Er and Su Huan had already started to pack things, while Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan played chess in the front yard until the night fell.
When holding the lantern, Wen Zhuoyi mentioned that Diaoyu and Sang Bugui had not come back yet, and Hua Jinglan remembered that the two people were not there.
"I'll go find them." Wen Ruyu stood up with a smile, and just as she was about to leave, a huge glass head suddenly stuck out from the door. It hummed into the yard, and lay down docilely. The carved jade from the past is on its back.
Sang Bugui jumped down and pulled the carved jade, and the latter knelt on the ground and woke up directly.
Diaoyu opened his eyes drowsily and suddenly saw the white glass, and stepped back in horror, "Don't eat me! Don't eat me!"
Sang Bugui put his legs on his back and said, "You first need to see clearly where this is?"
Only then did Diao Yu force himself to calm down. He looked up and saw Hua Jinglan looking at him with a joking smile. He felt his face heat up and raised his voice: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Hua Jinglan curled her lips and said innocently: "What can I do? If a child is disobedient, of course he must be educated well."
Diaoyu was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Is this what she could do to educate children? !
"Miss, there is someone in the palace again," Xiangrong led the visitor into the front yard. The father-in-law who gave the gifts put down more than a dozen boxes of things, bowed to Hua Jinglan, then walked to Diaoyu and said, "Young Master Diaoyu , here is your invitation."
"Invitation?" Diaoyu was suspicious. He took it and looked at it, but there was a hint of coldness on his face. He put it in his arms and said, "It's boring!"
The father-in-law hurriedly bowed forward and said: "Young Master Diaoyu, please don't say that. The emperor has said that you should follow my wife to the Kingdom of Tianshui."
This was what Diaoyu wanted. He suppressed his joy and pretended to be disdainful: "Who wants to go with her? I don't know the way."
The father-in-law looked troubled and was about to persuade him, but Hua Jinglan interrupted: "That's very good. Let's set off tonight."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone in the yard went to pack their things. The carriage covered with green gauze was also led to the gate, followed by five carriages decorated with things, and many horses were also hitched. of one.
Diaoyu saw things slowly being moved to the car, but Hua Jinglan was looking leisurely and at ease. Did she really plan to ignore him
Hua Jinglan suppressed her laughter, waiting for him to succeed, but this kid could also keep his composure, until Haoyue and the others came to invite her after they finished moving things, he still squatted aside and said nothing.
"Let's go." Chunyu Yan stood up and said, brushing his sleeves.
Hua Jinglan nodded and walked out with him. When they were about to get on the carriage, Diaoyu rushed up in one breath and said with a blushing face: "The emperor asked me to follow you, how dare you disobey the imperial edict!"
Hua Jinglan laughed out loud. Seeing his eyes turning red, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Let's ride in a carriage with Jiao Yue and the others!"
Diaoyu turned his head, and Sang Bugui, Wen Zhuoyi, and Wen Ruyu all got on the horse. His face suddenly turned ugly. It was so embarrassing for a big man to squeeze into a carriage with a little girl!
"I want to ride a horse too!"
Hua Jinglan just sat down and frowned slightly, "Why is this kid so busy?"
Chun Yuyan held her shoulders, shook her head at her, turned around, opened the curtain and said to Zhuyu: "Bring my horse over."
Zhuyu lowered his head and smiled, then went to lead the horse as he was told. Chun Yuyan's horse was a strong horse, so let that ignorant boy have a good meal!
The carriage finally started moving. Hua Jinglan lay on the soft pillow, looked at the moonlight outside through the raised curtain, and murmured: "Summer is coming."
"Yes," Chun Yuyan opened the thin quilt and covered her waist and said, "Although it's summer, it's still very cold at night."
Hua Jinglan held his busy hand, stood up and snuggled into his arms, smiling softly: "This is the warmest way."
I don't know if it was her imagination, but Chun Yuyan's body seemed to be warmer than before, as comfortable as hugging glass.
Chun Yuyan put his arms around her shoulders, put her cold hands into his arms, and sighed secretly. Ever since she lost her martial arts, her hands and feet had been extremely cold, especially at night. In the past, she had martial arts at her side, and she could resist even when she was sick at a young age. Now, she has old and new injuries. Although she doesn't say it, he sleeps next to her every day, how could he not know that she endures pain every night.
It's a pity that the precious medicinal materials Loulan Erxue found were like entering a bottomless pit and could not make up for the shortcomings of her body. Most of what Loulan Erxue had just loosened was medicinal materials, and she didn't know how long she could last for so long.
After a while, her breathing became even, and the carriage bumped. He tried his best to stabilize his body so that she could sleep peacefully. Today was different from the past. Master Xue Yue's name was going to disappear from the world, and they could only sneak out of the city.
The city gate was reserved in advance. When they arrived, Qiao Fu and Qu Xian were already waiting.
"Madam has gone to bed. I would like to ask Master Qiao if you have anything to entrust to me?" Ying Zhu asked Chunyu Yan before he stepped forward and said.
Qiao Fu handed over a golden token and said: "This token is unique to the Loulan royal family. Madam can use this token to travel unimpeded in Loulan, and the four countries will give her all the courtesy."
The peony is graceful. A peony in full bloom is carved on the token. It matches the gold and is very luxurious and dazzling.
Ying Zhu put the token into the carriage with both hands, then turned around and relayed Chun Yuyan's words, "I thank Mr. Qiao on behalf of Madam."
"Madam," Qiao Fu held his hands on the horse and said calmly, "It's not convenient for us to see you off during this trip. Please take care of yourself, madam, and come back to Loulan often."
After she finished speaking, she reined in her horse and walked to the side of the road to get out of the way.
The carriage creaked by and Qiao Fu watched from a distance. He felt more respect for Hua Jinglan in his heart. Losing his martial arts and giving up the throne was something that no ordinary person could do. From then on, she knew that there was such a woman in the world who was her. Incomparable.
The carriage left the city and moved slowly along the official road. The sound of horse hooves was very clear in the quiet night. As it passed through the mountains and forests, the sound of water could be heard in the distance. Chun Yuyan opened the curtains and looked outside, hunting. The gravel in the mountain is still new, and in the gap in the mountain, a slender waterfall trickles endlessly.
Hua Jinglan opened her eyes slightly. The moonlight was hazy in the distance, the mountains were black and the water was white. The two colors were distinct under the blue-black sky. The corners of her lips curved and she closed her eyes quietly.
In the carriage behind, Diao Yu lay with his butt stuck out against the window, sighing in pain at the sight of the Hunting Mountain. No matter how many times he saw it, he still found it incredible that he could split the mountain. It didn't look like it could be done by humans.
He turned his elbow and touched the hard invitation in his arms. He then smiled. He was a descendant of the beast tribe. Beasts can turn into humans. What else is impossible.
"Then what is the invitation for?" Jiao Yue couldn't hold back and asked curiously.
Diaoyu turned around and said lightly: "Someone just invited me to be a guest."
He was holding the cup but had no intention of drinking tea. This invitation was no ordinary invitation. It was an invitation from the Tang Clan, an invitation to the light beast tribe to help the Tang Clan. The Tianshui Kingdom's Beast Controlling Clan and the Beast Clan have reached a point where they are incompatible with each other. Both sides are gathering forces. In addition, all the beasts have rushed together some time ago. He is even more certain that this war is inevitable. Hua Jinglan has lost all his martial arts. Now he goes to Tianshui country, I’m afraid it’s the worst time.
Rarely seeing his serious look on his face, Gaoyue became playful and pulled his sleeve and said, "Who invited you to be a guest and made you look so sad?"
Diaoyu brushed her hand away and said angrily: "Didn't your lady teach you whether men and women can have sex or not?"
"My young lady has only taught me to go to the Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. No matter if he is a male or a female, if he dares to block the road, I will beat him!" Jiao Yue immediately replied. She was originally scolding the carved jade man for dressing up as a woman. Little did he know that these words would sound different in his ears.
He is a villain. Even if Hua Jinglan loses her martial arts, I am afraid she will not stop because of the beast control and the beast clan.
