[Lotus Lantern] Promise with one's body

Ao Cunxin met King Ying and Princess Shoukang when he was shopping for hairpins on the street.The descendants of dragons and phoenixes all dress up as ordinary rich and noble families, and travel in micro-clothes to enjoy the bustle and prosperity of the people.

Shou Kang caught sight of her and tugged on the sleeve of his brother beside him.

"Brother, that girl over there seems to be Miss Cunxin?" Zhao Xu looked along his thin white fingers, and saw Ao Cunxin picking and choosing at a small stall selling jewelry.

Ao Cunxin was put under house arrest in Prince Ying's mansion a month ago. Although King Ying had many doubts about her, he still offered food and drink to her. Later, Lan Xiugong retired, and Zhao Xu wanted to keep him in the palace through Ao Cunxin's mouth, but she was also caught by her. reject.Now that he meets again a month later, he feels that this woman is not easy.

"Since we met, let's go say hello." Princess Shoukang heard her elder brother say to her.

"Miss Cunxin." Ying Wang Langlang's voice came from the noisy world.

Ao Cunxin turned around and saw King Ying and his party.

"What a coincidence, I actually met Mr. Zhao and Miss Zhao San here." She nodded slightly in greeting.Ao Cunxin saw that they came subduedly, and knew that they did it on purpose.In such a large crowd, naturally they would not call their titles directly.

"Miss Cunxin, stay safe."

It seems that people always say this to her recently, and Long Nu sighed in her heart, but she smiled decently on her face: "Thanks to the two of you, I'm fine."

"Whatever Miss Cunxin likes, I will pay for it today. This is also a small favor to meet an old friend." Zhao Xu said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ao Cunxin smiled and said: "Today is not lucky, I haven't seen anything yet." Saying this, he put down the hairpin with tung flowers and green beads in his hand.

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Since we met today, why not go to the 'first floor' of Bianjing to have a good get-together. The third sister always misses Miss Cunxin." Shou Kang was a little stunned when his brother mentioned him. , and then seeing Ao Cunxin's eyes fall on her, she couldn't help but smile: "The violinist that Miss Cunxin recommended to my brother last time is really good at the piano, and my mother still talks about it often."

"It's Lanxiu's good fortune to be able to perform in front of the palace." Ao Cunxin replied neither humble nor overbearing, and then said again: "Cunxin still has something to do, let's take a step ahead and look at the two Haihans."

"Since that's the case, my brother and sister won't stop Miss Cunxin from doing things. It's just that I have an invitation to give to the girl. On the sixth day of June, I will invite Miss Cunxin to come to my house to enjoy the scenery. I hope the girl will not refuse."

Ao Cunxin walked in the mortal world and always saw her head but never her tail. Zhao Xu once sent someone to follow her after she left Prince Ying's mansion.It's just that the people who came back later said that it was nothing but a dazzling, so they lost it.It was so easy for her to find him, but it was so difficult for him to find her.Even the invitation has been left at the mansion for many days and has not been sent out.

"Cunxin has also experienced the scenery of your mansion. It is indeed one of the best geomantic treasures in Bianjing. It's just..."

"Miss Cunxin probably doesn't know that the poppies in my elder brother's house are one of the most prosperous sights in Shangjing, and they bloom extremely beautifully." Princess Shoukang chimed in.

"Well, Cun Xin will definitely appreciate it this time." Long Nu nodded, as if she had accepted the invitation of June [-]th.

"Ao Cunxin!" Away from the bustling market, separated from the noisy crowd, Su Jie's voice surpassed all the noise and reached her ears.

Zhao Xu and Shou Kang followed the sound and saw the young man in Xuanyi coming from the other side of the market.

"What are you shouting for?" Ao Cunxin frowned.

Ao Cunxin choked on Ao Cunxin, but it was rare that he did not confront her.

"Why did it take so long to buy things?" He only muttered in a low voice.

Ao Cunxin ignored him, only looked up at Ying Wang brothers and sisters, and said: "I made you two laugh. Cun Xin wrote down the appointment on the sixth day of June, and then I will go to the mansion to catch up on the old days."

After saying that, Fu turned around and left.Ruo Jie turned her eyes to Ying Wang's face, smiled slightly and followed.

"Is this the future ruler of the Great Song Dynasty?" Xiao Molong asked after catching up with Ao Cunxin.

"it's him."

"You don't have enough tyrant spirit." Xiao Molong stroked his chin and said.

"Governing the country is not about fighting, so what do you want to be a king?" Ao Cunxin asked rhetorically.

"Ao Cunxin, have you checked his fate?" Mo Jie thought of something again, and asked with some worry.

"How can I know the fate of the emperor in the world?"

In fact, every dynasty and every generation has a pulse-protecting dragon to protect the emperor's spirit. If the superior does not implement benevolent governance, the dragon will leave automatically. When the royal family's spirit is exhausted, a new emperor will naturally be born.

The human world has its own order, and even gods cannot interfere.What Ao Cunxin can do is to find room for recovery within the scope allowed by the law of heaven.

"The eighth princess of the East China Sea gave birth to an egg a few days ago, and the fourth princess of the East China Sea has sent the invitation to the house." Jie Jie said with a smile.

"What is the eighth princess, the fourth princess of the East China Sea. Isn't that your brother and sister?" Ao Cunxin said dissatisfied.

"Hmph!" Nao Jie turned her head.

Jie Jie's mother is a dragon girl born of the first mother of the Dragon King of the West Sea. Although she has the same surname as the rest of the Dragon Kings of the Sea, she cannot be compared with the mother's family of the West Sea in terms of blood relationship or friendship.After marrying, she followed her husband's Jinghe Dragon Clan until the Jinghe Dragon King was beheaded, and the family was ruined, so she had to take her youngest son back to Xihai's natal family to join her brother.

It is understandable that Mo Jie is not close to other dragons.

Ao Cunxin didn't bother to talk about him anymore, she just paused and said, "What else did the person sent by Sister Tingxin say?"

"According to the original words of the four princesses of the East China Sea recounted by the envoy, 'the gift of an inch of heart may not be missed, but the person must be there'."

Ao Cunxin seemed to be able to see the descriptive expression of Ao Tingxin when he said this.In the old days when I stayed in my boudoir, Dawei of the Four Seas and Fourth Sister of Donghai were the best friends.Later she married Yang Jian and was abandoned by Yang Jian, and Ting Xin also stood by her side to comfort her and support her until she took charge of the East Sea Navy, but she was banned from the West Sea forever. Back then, they had two sisters, but they had completely different fates. .

Her relatives and friends who were banned from Xihai avoided them whenever they could. In fact, Ao Cunxin didn't have many friends.Tingxin, on the other hand, often finds time to visit her and talk to her about the earth-shaking happenings outside.

Now that she is out of the West Sea again, the number of visits to the East China Sea is very small. Both of them are busy with their own affairs, working hard for their own family and their responsibilities. At this time, they heard her words from others. , I couldn't help feeling relieved.

Thinking about it for so many years, no matter how miserable Ao Cunxin was in the world, there was always her elder sister Tingxin who would never leave her.

"Since Sister Ting Xin said so, I should go to congratulate him in person." Ao Cun smiled complacently, then frowned again: "Sister Ting Xin said that you don't bring any congratulatory gifts, so should I go empty-handed?"

In fact, the dragon girl who has not left the pavilion went with her family to congratulate her, so naturally she didn't need to bring special gifts. The list of gifts from Xihai to Donghai would not be too thin.It's just that Ao Cunxin was married before, even though she is sent back to Xihai now, she can't be as careless as when she was visiting with her mother when she was not married.

"There are countless treasures in the East China Sea, so is there still a shortage of you?"

"Then what's the same?" Ao Cunxin asked rhetorically.

Mo Jie wanted to reply, "Why is it different?" But seeing her expression, the expression on her face softened.

Ao Cunxin must be really happy, since that's the case, why bother to argue with her.

————————————————————————————————————————

On that day, the East China Sea Crystal Palace held a grand banquet to celebrate the birth of the eighth prince.It was just a trivial matter between the four seas, but the eighth prince's concubine is a mortal, so this marriage is very eye-catching.What kind of descendants should this dragon clan and mortals give birth to?

Ao Cunxin was dressed as a princess of the Dragon Palace that day, and she looked very quiet and elegant after following the dragon of the West Sea.However, the third princess of the West Sea, who hadn't shown her face at the Feast of the Four Seas for a long time, surprised all the aquariums present as soon as she appeared.

The third princess of the West Sea is too similar to the eighth princess of the East China Sea.

Although there have long been rumors among the four seas that the three princesses of the West Sea and the mortal married to the eighth prince of the East China Sea have similar faces, but they are not compared together on weekdays. Now that they appear on the same stage, comparing the two sides makes them feel more and more alike .

The two have the same face, but the expressions between their eyebrows are quite different.The eighth concubine was a mother for the first time, and her eyebrows were soft and gentle. Compared with the third princess of Xihai, she seemed colder and nobler.

"This is the eighth sibling, Cun Xin thinks this is the first time we've met, right?" Ao Ting Xin introduced the two.

Ao Tingxin smiled, and said: "It's indeed the first time I've seen it, and I haven't prepared any better gifts. This is a gadget I bought from the mortal world. I have cast a little spell on it. I hope my eighth brother and sister will like it."

What Ao Cunxin sent was a box that could store the melody, which was bought from a Persian merchant and was said to have come from the West.She and Lanxiu cast the spell together, and as soon as the box was opened, wonderful music came out continuously.She considered that the eighth princess is a mortal, and she must like mortal things, and the shape of this small box is exquisite and cute, and she would be happy when she saw it.

"Thank you for the gift, Third Sister Xihai, I like it very much." Ao Cunxin saw the mortal woman who had a similar face to her and said so.

Ao Cunxin smiled slightly when he heard the words, finally his thoughts were not in vain.Ao Chun watched over his daughter-in-law, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Before the banquet started, all the guests wanted to see the newborn dragon eggs, and they all thought about the strangeness of the descendants of the dragon clan and mortals.

Naturally, the host doesn't want to spoil the guests. The old dragon king of the East China Sea personally cast a spell to wrap the little dragon's grandson's eggs in gentle water, and let all the guests watch.

Ao Cunxin glanced at it, only felt that the egg seemed a little smaller than the real dragon, probably because its mother was a mortal.

Speaking of the eighth prince, she has also heard a little about it. It is said that in her previous life she was infatuated with Chen Xiang, but she drank Meng Po soup and forgot her past life. In this life, she married the eighth prince of Donghai who waited hard for her. It's perfect.

Ao Cunxin didn't know whether she had heard those rumors, those things about the past and present life, just seeing her looking softly at the child she gave birth to now, but she also felt that it didn't matter whether she knew those things or not.

Ao Cunxin looked at the dragon egg in a daze for a moment. Back then, she and Yang Jian had been together for more than 600 years, let alone a child, not even an eggshell was left behind.On the second day of their wedding, Yang Jian obeyed the orders and set off for the expedition. Although the two of them had a quiet and peaceful life after returning, she never conceived.She is the bride of the Yang family, and she herself married into the Yang family after abandoning Xi Hai, so naturally she doesn't know how to have a child.When she was in the Dragon Palace when she was not married, the Dragon Queen taught her the things that should be paid attention to after the marriage between the dragon and the dragon. Her mother never told her how to get pregnant more easily when the dragon and the mortal were married.

Later, the rift between the husband and wife deepened, and they rarely got together and separated more, and they rarely even shared a room. Naturally, they were even more unable to conceive a child.

Ao Cunxin was immersed in the past, when he heard Prime Minister Gui's sharp singing: "Judicial God Zhaohui Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun, the Holy Mother of Huashan Mountain in Xiyue, Huashan Liu Xiaoying and his wife are here!"

As soon as Ao Cunxin turned his head, he saw the light of flowing water reflected in the Crystal Palace, and Yang Jian, brother and sister, Chen Xiang and his wife walked in.

For a heavenly official like Yang Jian, the old dragon king of the East China Sea would naturally go out to greet him in person.It's just that he was busy showing his treasures to everyone just now, so he didn't pay attention to these etiquettes for a while, so he couldn't stop pleading guilty: "The real king is here, and Xiaolong is far away to welcome him. It's a sin."

Ao Cunxin vaguely remembered that Uncle Donghai was more than [-] years older than Yang Jian, but in front of the god of justice who covered the sky with his hands, he could only call himself Xiaolong.

Yang Jian's prestige is strong, which can be seen.

Ao Cunxin is not very willing to meet Yang Jian, mainly because she doesn't want her mother to be upset when she sees Yang Jian.Anyway, Xihai and Yang Jian's Liangzi were married as early as when they got married.In addition, Yang Jian later divorced himself, and the queen mother naturally had no good face when she saw him.But he was constrained by the situation, so he had to pretend to be peaceful with a smile on his face.Ao Cunxin was terrified of seeing such a scene.

After all, it was her own mother, she didn't want her to be unhappy because of her own affairs, and she didn't want her to salute Yang Jian even though she clearly hated him extremely.

But before she took Xi Hailong to avoid it, she saw Chen Xiang and Xiao Yu happily passing through a group of guests and coming to this room.

"Ao Chun! Xiaoyu and I came to see you and Miss Zhao!" Chen Xiang said happily.Xiaoyu tugged at his sleeve, and only then did he see the people from the West Sea.

"I've seen the fourth aunt, the third aunt Xihai, the Empress of the Dragon..." Chen Xiang stuck out her tongue, bowed her head and bowed to the elder.Xiaoyu followed closely behind, and also bowed her head and blessed herself.

Ao Tingxin smiled heartily and said: "It's not the same for Chen Xiang to marry a daughter-in-law, it's more polite." Ao Cunxin also said: "Little hero Liu doesn't need to be too polite."

Xiaoyu looked up at the face of Ao Cunxin and the eighth princess, and murmured: "Looking at it this way, it looks more like..."

Ao Cunxin looked at the people around her who looked very similar to her, and saw that she had a natural expression when she met Chen Xiang, as if she had forgotten all the past, she sighed in her heart, feeling a little emotional.

"Cun Xin, the mother and queen are going to meet Aunt Donghai." Seeing Yang Jian's brother and sister seeming to be coming this way, West Sea Dragon Empress took her daughter's hand and went to see Donghai Dragon Queen.

Both the Dragon Queen of the West Sea and the Dragon Queen of the East China Sea are queens of the first palace, so naturally there are many topics to talk about.The two were reminiscing about the old days together, and Ao Cunxin's temperament of being happy and not quiet was extremely tormented.

The dragon girl told the dragon queen that she was walking alone, and the dragon queen let her go after a few words.

Seeing her youngest daughter leaving without looking back, Empress Xi Hailong couldn't help feeling worried.

"This child Cun Xin..." The Dragon Empress of Donghai also sighed.Seeing Xi Hailong, she just smiled helplessly, and immediately persuaded: "Your grandchildren have their own blessings, so you don't have to worry too much. Big winds and waves are coming, and you can still make it through this matter?"

"Sister, don't you know that Cun Xin has been stubborn since he was a child, and ten cows can't pull back what he decides. I'm really afraid that that child will become a hurdle that my son can't get over for the rest of his life."

"I heard that Dongting Dragon Lord went to your West Sea to propose marriage to Cun Xin a few days ago, why there is no more content?"

"Cun Xin rejected it on his own initiative, and we can't say anything. This child didn't grow up by my side, and now I can't discipline him. Yu'er is a monk, and Cun Xin is like this now...I really don't know Xihai. Where is the bad luck?" Empress Xi Hailong couldn't help wiping away tears.

"Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of it for you, there are so many heroes in the world, and Cun Xin will definitely find a good marriage."

"Hey... I'm afraid she still has that person in her heart, no matter how handsome someone else is, it's useless."

"I see that Cun Xin's actions in the West Sea this time are quite different from those in the past. It should be that he put down the one in Tianting. The old things in the past are gone, and the future will naturally be a new situation. Sister, don't worry." Donghai Dragon Empress patted West With the back of Hai Long's hand, he said in relief.

"I hope it is as my sister said."

Ao Cunxin is also familiar with the East China Sea Crystal Palace. She walked around the banquet hall and came to the backyard.

On a small stone bench not far away, Ao Chun was comforting his wife: "Are you feeling better?"

"Husband, I'm fine. It's just that... the god of justice, for some reason, whenever he approaches me, I tremble all over."

"It's probably because you are weak after childbirth. There are so many guests today, and there is a slight collision between the breaths of different races. I'd better help you go back to the palace to rest, and I will go to the mother's place and talk about it myself."

At this moment, Chen Xiang and his wife arrived, Xiaoyu asked Ao Chun worriedly, "Is she all right?"

After all, Ao Chun has become a husband and a father, and he is no longer as rash as before, saying: "It's okay, I will help her go back to the bedroom first, and I will come back later to have a drink with you to celebrate."

Miss Zhao nodded with Chen Xiang Xiaoyu, and was supported by Ao Chun towards the bedroom.

Seeing that Chen Xiang was looking straight ahead, Xiaoyu showed worry, and said, "I didn't expect that after so long, she still reacts so strongly to your uncle."

"Ding Xiang died under uncle's three-pointed and double-edged knife, so he naturally reacted more to this enemy in another life." Chen Xiang couldn't help but said dully.

Seeing that his complexion was a little pale, Xiaoyu couldn't help holding his hand worriedly.

Ao Cunxin, who was hiding behind the coral bushes, only felt her heart skip a beat when she heard this.Secretly startled.

Facing a face so similar to his own, he was actually able to do it.He actually...

Ao Cunxin only felt that the blood flowing in her chest was cooling down, as if she had come to the extreme of the world, or as if she had arrived in Buzhou Mountain that day, the world was covered with ice and snow, and the man was waiting for her in the snow with an umbrella...

When Yang Jian fought Chen Xiang to the death, Ding Xiang stood up in front of Chen Xiang at the critical moment to save Chen Xiang, and died under Yang Jian's three-pointed two-edged knife.

Yang Jian's three-pointed, two-edged knife was originally transformed by the three-headed flood dragon in the heavenly court, and he experienced the battle of conferring gods.It was also because she had eaten Laojun's elixir, and finally her primordial spirit was not broken, so she could be reincarnated and be a new person.

Ao Cunxin didn't know this, she never knew that the eighth princess of the East China Sea had such a relationship with Yang Jian.When they were having a great time outside, she was banned from Xihai to think about her mistakes behind closed doors.I vaguely heard some rumors from the outside world, but I couldn't hear them in detail.I only vaguely remembered that the merman singer said that the eighth concubine looked like him. I heard that she was a mortal, and that in her previous life she liked the son of the San Shengmu and had a marriage contract with him.

Fate has always been involuntary, she thought, since Yang Jian can deal with people who are so similar to herself, it is nothing for the Japanese to plot against him.

It is said that a husband and wife can be kind for a hundred days, but the kindness of a husband and wife is greater than the kindness of saving a life?Even the grace of saving life can be slowly ground into hatred in such days, the little friendship between the husband and wife is really nothing.
