Pei 'er sat by the window in a daze until dawn. The door was pushed open, and the person who came in was the servant girl that Sister Yun 'er had asked to serve her yesterday. She seemed to be called Qiu' er.
Before she left last night, she said that Qiu 'er was the Second Young Lady's servant girl and had grown up with her. But the young miss actually asked someone to serve you, it can be seen how important you are to her.
These words lingered in his mind for the entire night.
Qiu 'er saw Pei' er sitting there without moving, so she placed the basin on the shelf and approached him." Soul, come back!" Hehe, what are you thinking about?”
"No." Pei 'er shook her head.
"Oh, since there's nothing else, come over and wash up. I'll help you comb your hair later, then go to the hall to have breakfast with Master, Madam, and Miss.”Qiu 'er handed him a wrung handkerchief and gestured for him to wipe his face clean.
She took the handkerchief and held it in her hand. She looked up and begged Qiu 'er," Sister, can you help Pei' er get some breakfast to eat in the house?"”
"Eh? Why are you still throwing a tantrum with Miss?"
Her little head shook like a rattle-drum, and she kept denying it." No, no!”
Qiu 'er looked at his aggrieved, pitiful, and helpless expression. She could only ask," Then what's the reason?”
He did not answer but told her the truth." Pei 'er doesn't understand Sister at all.”
He took the handkerchief that had cooled down from his grip and washed it again. He carefully wiped his delicate and handsome face bit by bit. When he grew up, he would definitely be a man who could make countless girls fall for him.
"That day, I thought I was really going to die. I was mercilessly tortured and chased. I was so afraid that I couldn't even struggle and wanted to give up. However, the fear after waking up was driven away by my sister's gentleness. She told me over and over again that everything was fine. My sister said her name was Leng Shuiyun. She even lied to the couple that I was her biological brother. I thought that she would leave me behind, but she hugged me tightly and said that if anyone dared to bully Pei 'er again, Sister would beat him up for you.”The boy recalled everything that happened when he first met Leng Shuiyun. It was so real, not like a dream.
"Is this really my young miss?" Qiu 'er was surprised.
"Sister, you can tell me with a smile that those bad people who bullied you were all killed by me. She took me to buy new clothes and eat good food that I had never eaten before. Did you know that someone was teasing me? My sister broke that person's wrist in front of the local officials. The white bones pierced out and blood flowed all over the ground.”
Qiu 'er said," Actually, Miss is very gentle."
Pei 'er acted as if she didn't hear him and continued talking to herself." She said that Pei' er wasn't a burden, but when I was surrounded by assassins, she asked Dark Cloud to take me away. I know that she was just afraid that I would get hurt. When I returned to my sister's side, she was like a god of war, standing tall and upright. There were broken corpses all around her. She was like a Shura, covered in blood, but not a single drop was shed by her.”
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited, Qiu 'er helped him get dressed and pulled him to the table to sit down." Miss is definitely a kind-hearted person. Sit down first. Qiu 'er will arrange food for you. I'll tell you about Miss's childhood later. It must be an amazing childhood.”
Pei 'er sat there and waited for Qiu' er to finish her work. He wanted to know what Leng Shuiyun's childhood was like. He was very curious.
After a while, Qiu 'er came back with a tray of food." Come and eat."”
Pei 'er picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it with relish. Qiu 'er could easily recall that Miss also loved to eat such snacks." Did you know that Miss also loves to eat osmanthus cakes?”
"Eh?"
Qiu 'er began to recall her childhood. The young lady who had fought against illness was strong and brave. No matter how painful it was, she was unwilling to shed a tear and make the general and madam sad.
"I heard from Furen that the day the young misses were born was a day when the sun was high and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. He also heard that on the day of drawing lots, the young miss grabbed onto the Records of the Historian and refused to let go. The Second Young Miss was in the Madam's arms until the General placed his dagger on the table. The Young Miss struggled to climb over. General, you have a good successor."
Pei 'er was so shocked that she forgot to swallow the food in her mouth. Her mouth was wide open. She smiled as she handed her a cup of hot tea and continued," Unfortunately, good times don't last long. As the young lady gradually grew up, her hidden illness began to grow. Every time it acted up, Miss would not sleep for a night. She was in excruciating pain, but she did not say anything or make a fuss. She endured it alone and often fell unconscious with cold sweat. Even the famous doctors said that there was no hope. The General and Madam were unwilling to believe it. How could a good child, obedient and sensible, die so early? One day, a profound Taoist came to the mansion. He said that the young lady was reincarnated into the wrong body and should not be here unless someone took her away and accepted her as a disciple.”
"Has that person appeared?" Pei 'er asked nervously.
"Haha, if she didn't appear, would you still be able to see the young miss? Madam knelt in front of the altar every day and prayed day and night. Finally, that person appeared. He took Miss away and left for five years. No one knew what had happened in the past five years. The general had never dared to teach her martial arts because of her health, but after she returned, her martial arts were superb. Even the general praised her repeatedly and even sighed that she was inferior.”
"It's not as magical as Qiu 'er said.”Leng Shuiyun, who had just gotten up, was here to see Pei 'er. However, she accidentally overheard Qiu' er's words outside the door and almost praised her to the heavens.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman in light green clothes appeared. She wore a jade hairpin on her head, accentuating the spring atmosphere. She walked gracefully to the side of the small couch and lay down casually. "Why are you so curious about what happened in the past five years?”
Hearing Leng Shuiyun's words, Qiu 'er's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity and she nodded her head vigorously.
"Osmanthus cake." Leng Shui raised her fingers and pointed them at a spot. The entire plate was brought to her eyes. She couldn't help but wonder if Qiu 'er had learned light work before. Her speed was unexpectedly fast.
He casually picked up a piece, but he didn't put it into his mouth. He just placed it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully. He used a little strength, and the sweet pastry was crushed into pieces, scattering the powder all over the bed.
"In these five years, I've been repeating the previous day's life, day after day, year after year. He treated his illness, practiced martial arts, and when he was free, he would cultivate his mind and recuperate. He would play the zither and recite poems. That's how I live."
"However, the Lotus Cove is a strange place. Just like its name suggests, lotus flowers bloom there. There are all kinds of colors. There are even rare blue lotus flowers and double-headed lotus flowers. There, the sky was only a small part. When the moon was full, you could only see the bright moon in the sky. The pool water there was warm all year round, and the surrounding fog was lingering. It was like a paradise on earth.”She picked up another piece of osmanthus cake and marveled at Aunt Ji's culinary skills.
"Ah, is that true? Qiu 'er wants to go.”Oh, full of yearning.
"If the lotus depression is really that easy to enter, then there is nothing mysterious about it.”Leng Shuiyun recalled the time when she was with her master and mistress. Although it was monotonous, it was very happy.
"How did Miss enter for the first time?”Qiu 'er was still curious.
"The first time, standing on the peak of the mountain, Master told me to hug him tightly. I don't know why, but I listened to him. Only later did I know what it means to regret.”
Qiu 'er saw that Miss had stopped talking and was trying to bait her. Alright, I continued to be curious." What's wrong?”
"Master, you actually brought me from the peak of the mountain to jump into the canyon.”Leng Shuiyun's plain words caused Qiu 'er to scream.
"Sister, how did you feel when you killed someone?”Pei 'er walked out of her thoughts and interrupted the little servant girl's scream. She asked meekly," Is it true that my sister fought on the battlefield like an Asura? She was covered in blood and made people tremble in fear."
"The feeling of killing? The process was numbing, and after that, it was nauseating. It was so nauseating that he wanted to vomit out his heart and lungs.”This was the truth. After killing someone, she had to resist the urge to vomit.
"You clearly don't like it, so why kill it?”This time, Qiu 'er asked.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If people offend me, I will definitely offend them. Someone once told me that being soft-hearted to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. You can let him go, but it doesn't mean that he will let you go.”Many things had proved this truth. Along the way, she had almost never angered anyone, but there were groups of people who wanted to kill her.
"By the way, sister, where is the young miss that Qiu 'er mentioned just now? Why haven't I seen her?”Pei 'er deliberately changed the topic.
" My sister? She's in the royal palace's courtyard…"
Qiu 'er took it excitedly. She had always been proud of the Eldest Miss, but she did not know the hardships of that position.”
Leng Shuiyun smiled casually, but Pei 'er was very surprised." Really? It's the Crown Princess Consort. She's so amazing."”
She stopped laughing as she laughed. She suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit." Pei 'er, have you thought about what I mentioned yesterday?”
His cheerful laughter came to an abrupt end. He slowly put away his expression and lowered his head. His fingers stirred the hem of his clothes. He was a little unwilling, but he said helplessly," I've thought it through. Pei 'er will listen to my sister. Pei' er will stay."”
"Good girl." Leng Shuiyun knew that he was unwilling, but she still chose to listen to her arrangements.
"Pei 'er wants to stay behind to learn knowledge and martial arts so that he can protect sister in the future.”He knew that it would be a good thing if he didn't implicate her. How could he protect her?
"Alright, I'll send someone to arrange a teacher to teach you reading and a martial arts master for you.”Pei 'er, you will definitely grow into a man who can protect yourself and others.
After a few days, everything for Pei 'er was arranged. The child was completely in the right state of mind. Every day, he was busy, reading and practicing. He did not complain about fatigue or complain about his hardships. He just worked hard quietly and seriously.
The examination had ended, and the students had left the capital to return to their hometowns to wait for the results. There weren't many people on the street. Leng Shuiyun strolled alone and unexpectedly met someone she shouldn't have met.
Someone grabbed her sleeve from behind. She turned around in confusion and saw Lan Xin, who was about to marry the sixth master. She looked at herself in confusion and could not make a sound.
Leng Shuiyun felt that it was inappropriate for them to stand in the middle of the street, so she brought her to a teahouse. It was only when Leng Shuiyun handed the jade Guanyin to her that she exclaimed innocently," It's really you?”
She rolled her eyes at the sky. She never thought that she would meet him like this." Yes, it's me.”
