Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Meng Dong pushed Yunling back to the front yard and met Aunt Zhao who had just finished drying her clothes.

"Why did the girl come back so early today?" Aunt Zhao was surprised when she saw Meng Dong, "Who is this girl?"

Yunling introduced her, "This is my friend. My master is here and I can't stay outside for too long."

"Hey, girl, let me come." Aunt Zhao quickly went over to replace Meng Dong and pushed Yunling inside.

Seeing Yi Cheng downstairs, Yunling asked, "Is the prince on business?"

Yi Cheng raised his head and glanced at Cui Qiyan's room, "Master Cui didn't go out, he's still in the room."

"Aunt Zhao, give me a hand."

Aunt Zhao helped her up from the wheelchair and protected her upstairs as usual.

Meng Dong followed behind and watched her go upstairs on one leg, and said in fear: "Yunling, can you do this? How about I carry you up?"

Yunling went up another step, stopped and said, "Practice makes perfect. Now I can go up and down the stairs by myself holding on to the railing."

"Miss Yunling just wants to be strong and won't let me carry anything if the injury is just a little bit better. Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong these days." Aunt Zhao turned around and said to Meng Dong.

"Then be careful." Meng Dong lowered his head and paid attention to her feet, for fear that she might lose her footing.

"Don't worry." Yunling continued to go upstairs.

Arriving upstairs smoothly, Yunling asked Meng Dong to help her and knocked on Cui Qiyan's door.

"Come in."

After receiving permission, the two pushed the door open and entered.

The independent walking style of Yunling Golden Rooster made Cui Qiyan frown. He glanced at the stool opposite and said, "Sit down."

"I don't dare." Yun Ling stood aside.

"Don't make me say it a second time."

Meng Dong winked wildly at Yunling and helped her sit over.

She straightened her back, not daring to face him face to face. She turned sideways quietly, giving him a profile, and then turned away when she spoke, "Your Majesty, when will we leave to return to the capital? I wish you to prepare in advance."

"The morning after tomorrow." Cui Qiyan picked up the tea cup and lowered his eyes.

Silent for a moment, Ji Bai and Meng Dong stared at each other with big eyes.

After a while, Ji Bai couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, so he randomly found something to say: "Yunling, the story you just told those children was wrong, wasn't it?"

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Meng Dong became defensive.

Ji Bai said under pressure: "What I heard when I was a child was that Chang'e secretly took the elixir of immortality in order to become an immortal."

"I think I've heard it before," Meng Dong murmured, and then said firmly, "But I like what Yunling said."

"Actually, there are multiple versions of the myth that have been handed down, and I know the version you are talking about. But to tell it to children, I chose the one that reflects the goodness of human nature." Yunling said frankly.

Meng Dong didn't understand, "It's just a story, isn't it the same in every story?"

Yunling smiled and shook her head, "They are still young, and they still can't tell right from wrong. But children's memory and imitation are very strong. They may not be able to hear the deeper things in the story yet, but these things are subtle. It will influence them greatly. When they grow up and have their own judgments, they will naturally laugh off any version they hear."

"At their age, I personally don't want them to remember Chang'e as a selfish person who abandoned her husband for the sake of immortality. Let them have more kind thoughts in their hearts."

"That's it," Ji Bai touched

Chin, "I didn't expect you to think so much about them."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I liked this version better, so I told them."

There is no way to study myths and legends. If you listen to them as stories, the story will inevitably have the shadow of the narrator.

Ji Bai went to ask Cui Qiyan, who was drinking tea silently, "Your Majesty, what is this story you heard when you were a child?"

"forget."

"How could you forget?"

Cui Qiyan stood up and said, "You have nothing else to do? Come with me."

"Yes." Ji Bai was stunned and quickly followed.

He left immediately, leaving Yunling and Meng Dong confused.

After Cui Qiyan came out of the post station, he rode to the Yamen.

Master Huang was overjoyed to see him, and the two sat down to talk about the affairs of Chaozhong and Yuzhou. In the evening, Mr. Huang was still unsatisfied and took Cui Qiyan to a restaurant for a drink.

At night, Meng Dong refused the room Yi Cheng arranged for her and insisted on sleeping with Yun Ling. Yunling let her go. She was also afraid of accidentally touching Yunling's legs, so she put a few pillows between the two of them when she fell asleep, and they lived peacefully together all night.

Early the next morning Ji Bai knocked on the door and said, "Hurry and clean up. The prince wants you to follow him to the street."

Meng Dong, who was standing in front of the door, looked back at Yunling, "Yunling wants to go too? But her legs are not convenient."

"Isn't there a pushable chair?" Ji Bai asked, "Yunling, are you going? If you really can't go, just tell the prince."

"I can go, I just have to trouble Meng Dong to push me all the way."

I'm leaving tomorrow, and maybe I won't come here again. Yuzhou wasn't even a good place for Yunling, but she was still willing to walk around the streets before leaving.

"

What’s the point?” Meng Dong patted his arm, “I have plenty of strength, so it’s a piece of cake for me. "

"Okay, come down when you've finished packing." Ji Bai turned and left.

When they went downstairs, Cui Qiyan was already sitting downstairs waiting.

Yunling held on to the railing and went down. She was afraid that he would wait too long, so she tried her best to go downstairs as quickly as possible.

"Yunling, don't worry, don't fall." Meng Dong stood beside her, her heart rising.

Ji Bai downstairs also walked to the bottom of the stairs, "Meng Dong is right, you take your time."

Cui Qiyan said nothing, but his eyes always stayed on her legs.

"it is good."

Yunling took every step steadily and came downstairs smoothly, letting Meng Dong help her sit in the wheelchair.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time."

Cui Qiyan stood up and strode forward.

The inn was not far from the market, so they walked there.

Compared with when I first came here, there are more young women on the street. The girls are either in groups or alone, so there is no need to worry about flower pickers anymore.

Yunling suddenly thought of Lu Siheng. If he were in Yuzhou at this time, he wouldn't be bored.

Cui Qiyan walked leisurely in front, with no intention of entering any shop.

After a while, he stopped. Yunling looked up and saw that it was Ruyi Tower. The plaque was torn to pieces on the ground, as if someone had deliberately smashed it to vent their anger, and there was a government seal on the door.

The former No. [-] restaurant in Yuzhou is now in dire straits. Pedestrians will curse when they come here.

Seeing them parked in front of the door, someone reminded them, "Are you from out of town? Leave quickly. This is not a good place. It's very unlucky."

The person next to him urged impatiently: "Go quickly, go quickly, be careful.

unlucky. "

The two of them left in a hurry, as if they would be overtaken by something if they took one step slower.
