The elder brother of the Patriarch of the Demon Dao killed me to prove the Tao

In an elegant small house on the outskirts of Kyoto in the Izumo country, the moonlight shone on the slope, Hanakage smiled and picked a handful of mint leaves, and walked around to the front of the house from the corner.On a midsummer night, the sky is full of stars, and there is no cloud on the starry sky. The moonlight is shining down, which is a ready-made bright light in this suburb.

Jia Xichen was painting in the house. In the painting, the beauty combed her hair by the stream. She took flowers as her appearance and the moon as her god. She was as pretty as a peach in three springs and as clear as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. It was the shadow of the flowers he saw at first.

With a squeak, Hua Ying bounced open the door and came in, happily said: "Brother Xichen, look, this mint is so tender, I'll use it to make scented tea for you tomorrow, okay?"

Jia Xichen tilted his head and said with a smile, "Okay, the tea that Ying'er cooks must be the sweetest." He twisted the veil from the water basin, and wiped Huaying's face, and Huaying took it with embarrassment and wiped it herself.

Ever since the two of them broke through the paper window in Huahai, their relationship has become much closer, and Jia Xichen also dotes on her in every possible way.However, the two were in love and ended in courtesy, Jia Xichen made up his mind that the matchmaker should marry in a proper way, and then perform the ceremony of husband and wife after praying to heaven and earth to get married.

Happy time always flies by very fast, the two of them have been together sweetly for more than a month, and it is almost time for him to go home.

"Ying'er, I have something to tell you." Jia Xichen looked at the woman in front of him tenderly, and said seriously: "A lifetime is too long, and I don't know how to live it all by myself. Would you like to be with me for the rest of your life?"

Huaying sighed in her heart, this day is still here.Naturally, she is 1 willing to be with Jia Xichen for the rest of her life, but Jia Xichen's life experience has always been a stone in her heart.

During the time she stayed in Wen's house, she had seen many marriages of princes from aristocratic families, and she also vaguely understood that in this troubled world, everyone is in danger, and the more prominent the family, the more likely they will be through marriage at this time. To consolidate your position, disciples from your family can't help themselves in many things, and they can't decide their own marriage...

Thinking of this, Huaying was a little unhappy, but she knew that sooner or later she would have to talk.She said softly: "Of course I am willing. But, does your family make you want to be with whoever you want? "

Jia Xichen pulled Huaying over, held her tightly in his arms, leaned his chin on her shoulder, and pressed his cheek to her hair, and said sadly: "It's possible, I'm just a worthless wandering prince. It's just a chic and mediocre life, and everything in the family is supported by the eldest brother." He gently kissed Huaying's hair, his voice choked up: "It's just a few months ago, my prince's elder brother... died. Right now, the foundation of the ancestors is afraid that it will be destroyed. I'm here to take the lead..."

Jia Xichen was born with outstanding talents, and he was a model in the family in both civil and martial arts, but he was pure in nature and didn't like fighting.

If he was in a peaceful and prosperous age, he would be a dignified and respectable gentleman with such a temperament; but in a troubled world, if he does not want to kill someone for his fame, it means he is weak and useless; It is an act of unfilial piety.

Therefore, since he became sensible, he has been fooling around and no longer practicing Taoism and immortality, only obsessed with poetry and songs, practicing foreign martial arts, and wholeheartedly being a mediocre wealthy idler.

Although they were born in the royal family, their brotherhood is very good.His elder brother doted on him very much since he was a child, but he didn't want to do this, so he redoubled his efforts in cultivation, just to better allow himself, his wayward second brother, to be a literati and live his life in peace, but anything he doesn't want to do, elder brother Everything will be taken care of for him.

Every time his father and courtiers challenged him, he was blocked by his eldest brother.

Jia Xichen used to think that when the sky fell, there would be an elder brother to support him, but he didn't expect that the elder brother would be assassinated in Wuyong Kingdom because he went out to look for him...

Jia Xichen stabilized his mind and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely convince my father that I don't want anyone but you and me!"

Huaying was like five thunderbolts, her eyes widened in an instant, her body stiffened, and she squeezed out a few words from her throat, "My lord...the prince...my father...you mean, you are from the royal family of the Izumo Kingdom..." She She already thought of his origin as extremely noble, but it was still more noble than she imagined.

His elder brother died, which means he is the next prince.Although the country is in turmoil right now, the country may perish someday, but even if the country perishes, the royal family is still the royal family. How can the emperor's daughter-in-law be so easy to do?Huaying smiled wryly to herself.

"I'm sorry, Ying'er. I didn't mean to hide it from you. At first, I felt that a idle prince had nothing to say. After my brother passed away, the matter was too big and complicated, and I couldn't open my mouth. I'm sorry...I... .shouldn't have kept it from you..."

Seeing Jia Xichen's guilt-ridden appearance, Huaying was very distressed. Although she understood the importance of family status, she didn't pay much attention to it in her heart.

In addition, she has always acted according to her own inner preferences, and she didn't care about her status, so she hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, the worst is not to get married. I have been living here, I am so powerful, I am not afraid of others coming to trouble me , if you have nothing to do, just come and see me."

Hearing this, Jia Xichen hugged Huaying even tighter, as if trying to squeeze her into his arms.How could he wrong her like this...

Jia Xichen knew Huaying very well on this point, other women might be overjoyed because of his status, but she was so proud and unruly, she would never covet his wealth and honor, instead she might dislike the many rules.

The man hugged Huaying and put it on the couch. The girl looked up at him blankly, then lowered her head and kissed the little mouth that had seduced him for a long time. ...

Inside the Izumo Imperial Palace, Jia Xichen knelt in front of the palace, sweat dripping down on the white stone floor, guards and maidservants stood on both sides, and the male officer who punished him hit him hard on the back with a ruler.

"Father, queen mother, it doesn't matter if you punish the child to calm down. But the child is not wrong! In this world, Ying'er is the only one who has entered my heart! We have already set a lifetime, and we don't want anyone else in this life except her!"

The hall was silent, as if the people inside didn't hear it.

Jia Xichen left Huaying in his small house on the outskirts of the city this morning, and returned to the palace alone to confess to his parents.Sure enough, the second elder was furious, said many unpleasant things, and punished him to kneel in front of the hall and think about his mistakes.

Originally, he was now the heir apparent, so even if he had to be punished, he should be punished secretly in a secret room.But Emperor Izumo said that this rebellious son dared to decide his life privately, so he must be shameless. Since he himself was shameless, why did they bother to support him.

The scorching sun caused waves of heat to rise from the ground, and Jia Xichen was still punished to kneel here after the beating.Suddenly a burst of coolness hit, and when I looked up, I saw Huaying standing behind her holding an umbrella, with a smile on her face and distressed eyes.

"Ying'er, why...why are you here? How did you come in." Jia Xichen lost his voice, how could she come, now that she came here under such circumstances, I don't know how many ugly words and insults she will suffer.

Huaying raised the golden belt in her hand, yes, she knew that Jia Xichen was going back to the palace in the morning, so she knew he was going home to confess.So as soon as Jia Xichen left, she took his golden belt as a token and went to the gate of the palace to let the guards bring her in.

How could she let him face it alone.

Above the main hall, the Izumo emperor and empress looked majestic, and Jia Xichen and Huaying bowed their heads and stood respectfully side by side.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, while the empress stood aside and said condescendingly: "Is it Huaying, may I ask which noble lady you are from?"

Huaying said: "No."

"Then what kind of fairy is it?

"Little girl, a mountain village girl."

The empress said contemptuously, "Then do you think you are worthy of my son?"

Huaying could hear the contempt in her tone, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Brother Xichen said he likes me, as long as he likes me, we are a good match."

Hearing these arrogant words, the empress smiled instead of anger: "Okay! You said you are compatible, my son is the prince of a country, and he will inherit the great rule in the future. Now that the war is urgent and the country is unstable, you may Share your worries for my son?"

"Why worry?"

"My son has not practiced the profound way, but I think you are a person who cultivates the way. Maybe you will go to the front line to stabilize this country for him?"

"The little girl Shanzheng is just a Lexiu. The country's war... can't share his worries." She promised Brother Ruqing that she would never become an enemy of him.

Although Jia Xichen didn't hear Huaying mention her agreement with Wen's family, he knew that Huaying was originally working for Wen's family in Wuyong country, and his farewell was probably because of a non-war agreement, so that his Ying'er could get away .

The empress had an expression I knew, and said, "Oh, it turns out that she plays the piano and sings. Do you think you can reach the sky with a pretty face?"

"Mother!..." Jia Xichen heard his mother's humiliating words, and wanted to distinguish, but when Emperor Yun waved his hand, he found himself speechless, and he couldn't even move.

His eyes were flushed, seeing his sweetheart being humiliated by his mother, but he couldn't even tell her apart, he could only watch helplessly, his heart felt like a knife was twisted for a while.

Huaying still lowered her head, her tone could not hear any waves, "Yaoyao dare not."

Seeing her reluctance, the empress was really angry, "A woman like you who has no family background and no talent. She even wants to be a princess. Being a concubine is flattering you. "

"Yaoyao doesn't care about her status, she just wants to spend the rest of her life with brother Xichen." Anyway, he won't have anyone else.

The empress had never seen such a thick-skinned woman. She was so scolded and humiliated by herself, but she didn't react at all, and said angrily: "Jia Xichen, look at what kind of woman you are looking for. In order to climb the dragon and the phoenix, she has no backbone. Shameless, I really don't know what you like about her."

Huaying thought to herself: You are half right, I am indeed spineless, but it is not for the sake of being attached to any dragon or phoenix, shameless or shameless, only for him alone.

The empress scolded her for a long time, but no matter what she said, she always behaved respectfully and obediently, no matter what she was beaten or scolded. Then go back to the secret room and continue to be punished and confinement.

After that, Huaying came to the palace early every day to plead with Jia Xichen and listened to the empress's scolding. On the surface, she was respectful and sincere, but in fact she went in one ear and out the other. No matter what the empress said, she would Good attitude, determined not to change.

Seven days later, after receiving the punishment, Jia Xichen rushed towards Huaying's residence without stopping.I thought she suffered such a great humiliation, although she was not polite in front of others, but she didn't know how sad she was in private.

But when he opened the door and came in, he saw Huaying was holding a jar of glutinous rice wine in his left hand, and a chicken leg in his right hand.

Jia Xichen: "..."

Seeing him coming in, Huaying immediately threw away her food, rushed over and kissed him greasy, and said coquettishly, "Brother Xichen, Ying'er misses you so much. Quickly, see if I've lost weight after being scolded by your mother?"

Jia Xichen took out the handkerchief, wiped off the oil stains around her mouth, and said softly, "You have been wronged."

Although Jia Xichen was sentenced to confinement, he was not injured, but suffered from lovesickness.

Seeing that Huaying is still so heartless, outspoken and cute, he doesn't take the embarrassing words of his mother to heart, but he is still worried that she will be hurt because of this, Jia Xichen can't help but feel that he is really a vulgar person, making fun of his family To think that she is not good enough for him, obviously he is not good enough for her.

After the two sat down and talked about their lovesickness, Jia Xichen said solemnly: "Ying'er, I've thought a lot these days. Give me another half a year, and during this half year I will pay attention to whether there are any virtuous and generous cousins ​​in the side branch." If my parents refuse to agree after half a year, I will arrange for that person to inherit the crown prince, and let's... go far away."

Huaying said softly: "Okay."

"Ying'er, if we leave, we will be on the run from now on, what do you want?"

"Wish." Huaying didn't dare to say one more word, and could barely squeeze out two syllables from her throat. She was afraid that if she said one more word, she would cry out.

She never thought that brother Xichen would have the idea of ​​abandoning his family and country because of her.

There was a dull pain in her heart, and he was the only one who could tempt her with just a few words in this world, and make her feel sad.
