Qian Yi had indeed verified some of the situation, but he made a little awkward, and he didn't want this matter to be asked by Qian Fan, so he said with a clear conscience: "Not for the time being." ”

Qian Fan and Su Ning both expressed disappointment, Qian Yi glanced at Su Ning's expression, and thought to himself If you can trust me, you will come to ask me in person, instead of passing the word through Qian Fan.

However, how could Su Ning ever think of these levels? Qianyi has too much sense of distance for her, and she has never been able to get along with Qianyi warmly like she did with Qianfan.

Qianfan stayed for a long time, and then proposed to accompany him back to the Jade Palace for lunch, Qianyi was unhappy, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he let her go sullenly.

Since Qian Fan came back, he has repeatedly proposed to Qian Yi to transfer Su Ning to his palace. Qianyi was ambiguous and noncommittal at first, but then simply used Aunt Cheng as a shield and asked him to talk to Aunt Cheng. And Aunt Cheng, who had already received Qianyi's instructions, told Qianfan that now Su Ning is an indispensable talent in the Liuli Palace, and there is no order in her palace, so she refused Qianfan's request. No matter who Qianfan proposed to exchange, she just wouldn't let go.

Qianfan had no choice in the end, so he had to die of this heart. However, he came to the Liuli Palace every once in a while, and Qianfan made it clear that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and he came here just to get close to Su Ning, so he came back and was sticky to Su Ning.

Qian Yi was annoyed in his heart, but he was as sullen as him, and no one could see his emotions. Qian Yi was not good at obstructing Qianfan clearly, so he used roundabout tactics, he calculated when Qianfan would come, so he took Su Ning out in advance and let Qianfan fly into the air.

Qianfan is a straight person, and he didn't notice his bad intentions for a while. Su Ning couldn't notice it, even more so that she wanted to break her head, she wouldn't have thought that Qianyi was jealous.

On this day, there was a light snow at night. After Su Ning got up early in the morning, he pushed open the window and saw that the jade dust was scattered in the forest pond, and the snow was full of the courtyard. Su Ning wore a thin cotton jacket and a bamboo blue silver silk brocade cloak, because there was still snow in the sky, she went out with an oil-paper umbrella, and came to Cuilin Yuan after breakfast in the Yueji Hall.

All the rooms in Qiongke City have their own central air conditioning, and Su Ning came in from outside, only to feel the heating in front of her. She put away her umbrella, untied her cloak, and walked up to the room on the third floor.

Qian Yi had already gotten up, he was wearing a plain white shirt, sitting on the edge of the bed with his hair scattered, probably because of the cold, his expression looked a little lazy.

Su Ning served him to groom and put on his robe, and now Su Ning is the only personal maid who serves Qianyi, just because Qianyi is unwilling to leave this job to others.

Qian Yi sat in front of the mirror, and Su Ning was holding a comb to carefully alienate him from a splash of ink. Qian Yi said indifferently:

"I'm going to 'Qiong Yingting' to paint later, you can prepare. ”

Qiong Yingting is full of red plums, and it is an elegant thing to enjoy the plum on a snowy day. Su Ning responded, and then packed up paper, pen, painting and other things for Qianyi.

In Qiong Yingting, Mei Rui was half-exposed and cold. A hexagonal glazed tile pavilion was built in the courtyard to enjoy the plums, Qianyi set up a painting case in the hall, Su Ning laid the three-foot-long rice paper, pressed it with a paperweight, and then set up the pen, ink and paint, etc., and then retreated to the side.

Qian Yi faced the independent red plum in the garden, with a large purple hao deep ink, outlining the dried plum and the main branch, he put down a vigorous and powerful pen, in one go; then dipped in cinnabar, eosin, point out the flowers, and then use the lamb hao to adjust the rouge black ink, outline the stamens; finally, with a trumpet wolf dotted with spotted snow.

When Qian Yi paints, he is like flowing clouds and water, swaying freely, scorching red, steady black, and free and easy white, constituting a beautiful and elegant little freehand "Red Plum Proud Snow".

Su Ning has no talent for painting, so she is very envious of people who can paint. Qian Yi saw that her eyes were shining, and she couldn't take her eyes off the painting, and he said:

"Do you want to draw it?"

Su Ning was startled, shook her head before she could think about it, and said, "Young Master Xie, the slave is just a ......."

Qian Yi interrupted: "I'll teach you." ”

Su Ning was even more surprised, Qian Yi didn't wait for her to answer, he replaced another piece of paper, he picked up the paintbrush, licked it full of ink, and handed it to Su Ning.

Su Ning had to take it, she took it with both hands, and said in a low voice: "There is Lao Gongzi......"

Su Ning really doesn't have much confidence in her painting skills, and the pressure is even greater when she wants to paint in front of people with extraordinary painting skills. She pursed her lips and picked up the paintbrush with a hard head.

The wrist strength of painting is very important, and Su Ning's strength is big enough, but he doesn't know how to put down the pen, and the tip of the pen is above the drawing paper, and he can't fall for a long time. Qian Yi didn't stand aside to watch her embarrassment, he went around to Su Ning's back and held her Su hand in his hand.

Su Ning trembled, and Qian Yi casually wrapped her Rouyi in a warm and thick palm, driving her to put down the pen and sketch out an ink branch.

Qian Yi continued to hold her hand and led her to draw the branches. The two of them hugged each other intimately with their chests against their backs, the elegant and pleasant Su Hexiang on Qianyi's body shrouded Su Ning, and the hot breath exhaled brushed the corners of her forehead, warmly tickling, Su Ning didn't know what she had drawn, the hands he held were nervous and stiff, and her cheeks were more like a thin layer of rouge, spread on her white and greasy face, like hibiscus reflecting snow.

Qian Yi whispered softly in her ear: "Don't tremble...... Hold on to ......"

"Yes......" Su Ning replied, even her voice trembling. Although she has been hugged by Qianfan a few times, it is all in the nature of a little fight. Whether in her previous life or in this life, she had never tried to get along with a man in such an ambiguous posture.

Especially the object is still Qian Yi, who has always been indifferent, Su Ning didn't dare to misinterpret his intentions, just as he was teaching her as an elder.

A breeze swept through the yard, blowing away the snow foam that had condensed between the branches and flowers, like cotton flotsam.

Qiu'er stood outside the door of the moon cave, holding a black lacquer and gold tray in her hand, and on the tray was scalded Songhua wine. She stood still as if she had been transformed into an ice sculpture.

She stared at the two people in the pavilion, revealing a closed gaze, as if they were about to freeze people......

-----

Now Qianyi didn't let go of Su Ning to go to the Jade Palace to accompany Qianfan for lunch, and Qianfan simply came to Liuli Palace to eat with a cheeky face. Qian Yi knew that this was better than letting Su Ning be alone with him, so he left him alone.

However, Su Ning's identity in the Liuli Palace is a maid after all, and it is not good to dine with them, even if Qianfan is soft and hard, she refuses to sit with them, she always stands on one side and waits.

On this day, during lunch, Qian Fan mentioned: "Senior brother, are you going to your palace next month to discuss the 'big competition'?"

Qian Yi said: "Yes, Master is in retreat, and he asked me to preside over the big competition. ”

Seeing Su Ning listening attentively, Qian Fan smiled and asked, "Su Ning, you can also participate in the big competition, right?"

Su Ning remembered that before she came to be a maid, Qianhui told her that she could still retain her identity as a disciple, and in addition to her daily practice, she was also qualified to participate in gatherings such as martial arts competitions.

Su Ning nodded: "Master Qianhui said I could participate in ......"

"That'll be fine. Qianfan didn't know what to think of, and finally said, "At that time, you can come together." ”

Su Ning was ignorant, not knowing what he was doing when he said "come together".

Qian Yi knew that she had doubts in her heart, so he took a sip of honey tea and said lightly: "On the seventeenth of next month, all the senior brothers and sisters will go to the 'Green Calyx Hall' of the Liuli Palace to discuss the matter of next year's disciple competition. In addition to the seven senior disciples, those with excellent qualifications will also be selected from among the beginner disciples to participate. ”

Su Ning was still pondering his words, and Qian Fan invited again: "Su Ning, you can come along." ”

Su Ning was slightly stunned, and then asked cautiously, "Can I go with me......

"Absolutely. Qianfan said in a tone that he should have.

"But......" Su Ning felt inferior: "With my qualifications, I'm afraid I won't be qualified to participate in ......"

"Aren't your qualifications good enough?" Qian Fan asked rhetorically, "The fifth rank of the junior level is already the highest cultivation among the disciples. ”

Su Ning was immediately encouraged by what he said, and a shallow smile appeared on her lips. I'm afraid this is the beauty laughing at the city, and then laughing at the country, Qianyi and Qianfan were stunned in an instant, but one of the two was introverted and the other was exposed.

The exposed Qianfan immediately held Su Ning's small hand, and when Qianyi saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not have a seizure.

Qian Fan asked Su Ning with a little bad eyes: "They looked down on you like this before, do you want to scare them?"

Su Ning was puzzled: "Surprised?"

Qian Yi also looked at him with inexplicable eyes, Qian Fan grinned evilly, and said something-

A month later, inside the Green Calyx Hall of the Liuli Palace.

The main seat is furnished with two rosewood Fushou Taishi chairs, and there is a huge "autumn wind map of ten thousand gullies" hung on the wall, and there are couplets hung on the left and right, saying: Bamboo deep guest place, when the lotus is clean and cool.

There are two slips on both sides of the bottom, a total of eight Ruyi cloud head pattern circle chairs, separated by high legs.

Aunt Cheng led several maids and Taoist children, standing on both sides in two batches, Qianyi and Qianfan were the first to arrive, and the two sat on the left side of the main seat, chatting with fragrant tea.

Su Ning was dressed in a cloud-white soft silk wide-sleeved roll-back character pattern curled skirt made of "Ruyi Tian Feather Coat", her hair was combed and hung in a bun, and a gilt silver peony and bird pattern hairpin was placed between the buns, standing behind Qian Yi obediently and obediently.

The guests entered one after another, and the attendants bowed down one after another, and Qianyi and Qianfan also stood up to greet them. Among them, Qianhui and Qianguang led a group of carefully selected disciples to participate. There were ten men and three women in the disciples, and most of them were people who were able to go ashore when they were cultivating on the waterfall before.

The disciples all wore Taoist robes and hairpins. The people who were fortunate enough to attend the meeting were all disciples above the Gengwu level, and the Taoist hairpins were all plain silver or plain gold.

The disciples were a little surprised to see Su Ning, especially Xiahou Yi, Ren Fei and Ge Ping, who were more familiar with Su Ning, they all smiled at Su Ning in a friendly manner, and Su Ning also smiled back.

Su Ning's dress today was beautiful and refined, Xia Houyi's eyes lingered on her face for a moment, and her young and handsome face actually floated with a thin layer of color.
