Chapter 45 Harmony
King Chiyuan smiled and said, "Your mother met me all day long, and I went earlier and later. But you, since you went to the fiefdom, you have only come back two or three times a year. Sometimes your mother can cry if you think about it. Why don't you go and see her quickly?"
"Oh?" The boy hugged his arms with both hands and asked in a pretentious manner: "Then doesn't my father miss me?"
"You kid."
King Chiyuan shook his head helplessly, and looked at Helian's eyes like an ordinary father, even more pampering than an ordinary father.
"Well... the little boy has grown a lot taller."
He patted Helian's shoulder with relief. When he looked up and down at the boy, King Chiyuan realized that his clothes were actually wet.
"Oh, I accidentally bumped into a little palace maid who was holding water on the road, and just thought... I was treating the situation in advance."
"You are always so reckless. Let's change your clothes for your father. Let's go see your mother again, otherwise she will definitely nag you."
"yes!"
The boy was as heartbroken as he returned home. He pulled King Chiyuan and left the study with a chatter and laughter. The cheerful laughter came from behind the corridor from time to time, as if even the cold black palace was dyed with a warm color.
The warmth is as warm as Helian's mother's bedroom—Fengqi Pavilion.
It was a pavilion built in the center of the royal city. It was made of white marble and gems. Although it was far less majestic than the palace city, it was exquisite and gorgeous enough. In addition to the decoration embellished by gold jewelry, King Chiyuan even treasured all the rare treasures in the world here.
But for King Chiyuan, the most precious and priceless treasure here is the owner here, the woman he loves the most, and the young man's biological mother, Mrs. Xiyi.
After not returning for a long time, the young man was naturally excited. He ran ahead in two steps. King Chiyuan followed him from afar and laughed and shouted: "Slow down. If your mother sees you so unruly, you will be punished!"
"Father, hurry up. I'm anxious to see my mother and sister, so I can't slow down."
The young man waved his hand to the Chiyuan King sideways, and his figure hides into the White Jade Gate.
"Stupid brat!"
King Chiyuan smiled and cursed, his steps under his feet were not consciously moving faster, and he didn't remember at all that he seemed to have forgotten what to deal with.
Until the guards behind him came to report: "My Lord, the girl Si you are going to meet in the morning court has arrived."
Yes...and this is also happening...
After thinking a little, King Chiyuan ordered the guards: "Take her into Qifeng Pavilion."
"yes."
"Wait a minute!" King Chiyuan called on the guard and gave a special reminder: "Remember, bring her only one in."
"Abide by the order!"
In front of the city gate.
"Girl, the king is in Fengqi Pavilion, come with me."
The palace maid made a "please" gesture to Si Nanyue. She was about to leave when she was suddenly grabbed by Helian Jue.
Fengqi Pavilion is a palace built by his father for Mrs. Xiyi. Unless summoned, men are not allowed to enter. If Si Nanyue is allowed to pass by alone, Helian Jue is a little worried, but if he follows him rashly...
"Don't worry, Your Highness."
Si Nanyue put his other hand on his arm, patted it gently, and said, "The king mercies with the people of Zelucheng. Now he summoned me in the harem again. I think... I will not be embarrassed, so I will go and go back."
Her voice was gentle and gentle, but Helian's determination did not relieve her concern.
As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. The thoughts of his father are not something others can guess, but now Helian has no other way, watching her thin body disappear deep in the palace.
Si Nanyue walked along the way, from the front hall to the back harem, and the black floor paved with Shisheng stones were all in sight. The corridor and the gatehouse were made of thick brown and red wood. The palace was decorated with extremely thin gold pieces, just like the black gold armor on Helian Jue, which made people feel heavy and depressing.
But turning to the end of the corridor, what caught Si Nanyue’s eyes was the pure white pavilion built of white marble, and the style was very different from the traditional houses in Chiyuan.
It seems...it seems to be somewhat similar to the Gaul Palace that she has seen in the book, except that the building is smaller in area and more refined and noble.
"Is this Fengqi Pavilion?" Si Nanyue asked.
"Yes, this is Mrs. Xiyi's residence. The king is inside. Please, girl."
The palace maid led her in front of her and Si Nanyue stepped into this special bedroom.
The girdle of the bedroom is made of sandalwood beams, the crystal jade walls are lamps, and the white marble walls are carved with countless breathtaking fine patterns, including priceless jewelry and jade embellishments.
Even the bead curtains that are worn with silver thread are made of rare extreme sea blue pearls, not to mention the night pearl that is rarely found in a century.
All the treasures in Fengqi Pavilion are amazing. When Si Nanyue was in Zelu City, she heard that King Chiyuan loved Mrs. Xiyi, who was born into a slave, and she didn't expect that when she saw her today, it seemed that she was too humble.
Si Nanyue was curious and wanted to know what kind of person Mrs. Xiyi was like. She was thinking, bursts of laughter came from the bedroom not far away.
Si Nanyue looked inside through the pearl curtain. There were four people in the room. Among them, the older man looked very similar to Helian Jue's eyebrows, but he looked more calm and serious. I think he should be the Lord of Chiyuan.
Although his temples were a little white, his golden eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, so majestic that people dare not look directly at him.
The older women, as well as their newly grown daughter, have red curly hair like fire. Their skin is as white as jade and their facial features are deep and tall, but their daughter's eyes are the same as their father, with shallow golden eyes.
Sitting aside, his temperament and facial features are relatively more like his father's son, and like his mother, he has a pair of rare blue eyes.
The family surrounded the stove. The girl held the freshly peeled kumquat in her hand and couldn't wait to send a petal into her mouth. Then she frowned into a twist, but said with an exaggerated expression: "This orange is too sweet, brother, please try it."
As he said that, his thin white fingers took the kumquat with juice and handed it to the boy's lips. The boy was talking about the interesting stories he had heard outside, filling the kumquats into his mouth without any scruples. Then, the sour juice filled the whole mouth.
He grinned with a twisted facial features and spit out the oranges. After eating a few candied fruits placed next to the stove, he pointed to the girl who was smiling and cursed: "Helianyou, you little villain, you bullied me as soon as I got home. Father and mother, do you still care about her?"
The King of Chiyuan and Mrs. Xiyi beside them looked at each other with a smile, and said helplessly: "You two children are so old and still messing around. If you don't have any rules like this, you will add half of your homework tomorrow."
"No, no, I forgive my little sister..."
The laughter came to my ears. If Si Nanyue had not been in the royal city of Chiyuan at this time, she would have thought that this was an ordinary family of four.
The palace maid took Si Nanyue behind the pearl curtain and reported: "The king, the man has been brought here."
"Cough...well, come in."
The thick male voice cleared his throat and suddenly became cold. The mother and son also stopped joking and focused their eyes on Si Nanyue.
"I, Si Nanyue, see the king, see Mrs. Xiyi."
"Si Family..."
The beautiful woman sitting next to King Chiyuan said thoughtfully.
The King of Chiyuan who summoned Si Nanyue in did not say a word. Although she was lowering her head at this time, she obviously felt a sharp gaze looking up and down.
Si Nanyue didn't know what King Chiyuan meant, so she knelt on the ground for a long time before she heard King Chiyuan mutter in disappointment: "I don't look like her, and I don't look like her at all..."
she?
Si Nanyue's question became deeper, and she heard King Chiyuan stand up and say, "Come with the Lone King."
"yes."
Si Nanyue retreated with King Chiyuan, but Mrs. Xiyi's eyes kept following her. The girl shook her hand in front of her and asked, "Mother knows that girl?"
"I don't know." Mrs. Xiyi withdrew her gaze and said, "I heard your father mention many years ago that he had a close friend when he was young. He was a royal woman in Zelu City. Maybe this girl is related to your father's close friend."
"Friendly friend? Or a woman?"
The girl's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and she guessed seriously: "My father is the noble King Chiyuan, who is arrogant and arrogant. Where did he get his friend? And... the father looked at the woman just now, and the 'best friend' in his father's mouth is not the old friend he loves but cannot get, right?"
"Puff..." Helian squirted out a mouthful of fruit tea.
"What are you saying, my father and mother have been singing with each other. I have never seen my father look at other women more since I was a child. How is this possible?"
Helian You said without thinking: "Mother said that his father was young, but he didn't know his mother yet. No... I'm not at ease, I want to go and see it for my mother!"
As she said that, she threw the half-eat pastry on the table and got up and wanted to follow her. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Mrs. Xiyi.
"You'er, you are being spoiled and you are becoming more and more unruly! Your father is not an ordinary person, he is the King of Chiyuan. He will be crowned as the co-lord of the Eight Cities in three days. Even the world belongs to him, let alone a woman who has been more than thirty years. How can you be so rude to your father!!"
Seeing that his mother was really angry, Helian You sat back in place with grievance. While holding Mrs. Xiyi's arm, she quietly gave Helian an expression.
"Mother, isn't my daughter afraid that you will be sad, and she won't really do anything."
"Yes, mother." Heliann also helped to persuade her when she received her younger sister's request for help: "You'er cares about you and your father, don't be angry."
Mrs. Xiyi sighed and said, "Oh... I have told you so many times. Your father was under the pressure of great force back then, so I could give birth to Ener safely. It would be fine if you play on weekdays, but I will never allow you to make your father embarrassed. Have you heard it clearly?"
The brother and sister agreed obediently, but after this trouble, Mrs. Xiyi was in a state of disgrace and let them retreat.
