Chanyi raised her eyes and saw the beautiful young man, with a bright smile on his face, picturesque eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, amber eyes looking at her brightly, and the cinnabar mole under the corner of his eye flickered faintly in the sun, unintentionally faintly with a beautiful grace.

She turned her head sideways and ignored him, Jin Se put the small bamboo pedal under the carriage to facilitate Chanyi to get on the car, and saw Xia Mingyi leaning down in the car, her slender fingers stretched out to her, and a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, "Sister, grab my hand." ”

Chanyi stared into his eyes right in front of him, and suddenly realized that she couldn't really be cold to him.

Fingers resting on his palm, he carefully helped her into the carriage.

Jinping and Jin Se also got into the carriage, the coachman raised the horsewhip, the wheel of the car ran over the paved stone road outside the house, and the heavy sound came into the ears, one by one as if it hit the heart, making people's hearts feel depressed.

Xia Mingyi held her soft little hand tightly, Chan Yi couldn't retract it no matter how hard she tried, she glared at him angrily, and he said cautiously: "...... Sister, it was all my fault yesterday, I said the wrong thing, and I didn't blame you. ”

She pretended not to hear, turned her head and asked Jinping, "Have you brought all the things?"

Jinping glanced at Xia Mingyi, how did she feel that the third master was like a Jingba abandoned by the master at the moment, her tail hung on the ground and looked at the young lady with teary eyes, thinking of this, she was embarrassed, hurriedly stopped her thoughts, lowered her eyes and replied: "Miss rest assured, the cloak, hand warmer, and hood are all brought, this morning Sister Biyue in the uncle's room prepared the uncle's big coat, the uncle was impatient to take it, Sister Biyue asked the slave to help collect it, but the second master was afraid of the cold, so he put it on early in the morning." ”

Chanyi nodded, but didn't look at Xia Mingyi, and said to herself: "The eldest brother and the second brother are in a hurry, and they don't say wait for me, I don't know if they have received Gongzi Anli." She reached out and lifted the curtain from the car window, and looked out at the beginning of the day, and the sun shone on the frost-covered branches, casting dappled shadows along the way.

Xia Mingyi was a little annoyed, he knew that she would definitely ignore him today.

The smooth little hand in the palm of his hand was still tightly held by him, and he suddenly remembered the dream last night, such a painful feeling, until now when he thinks about it, his heart is still faintly uncomfortable, he is afraid that the things in the dream will happen, and when he speaks again, his voice is a little more firm: "Sister... Auntie, she's not my biological mother......"

Chanyi raised her eyebrows, of course she knew that Aunt Yan was not Xia Mingyi's biological mother, and she also knew that he would return to the palace as the third prince in half a year, and then make meritorious contributions and be called the king, and it would not be like this again.

Xia Ming said to himself: "... Although I was young back then, I remembered that the queen gave my mother a bowl of ginseng soup, and asked my mother to choose whether I lived or she lived......"

Chanyi was shocked, and reached out to cover his mouth, is Xia Mingyi crazy?

She scolded: "Are you having a nightmare? This kind of nonsense is also said!" Turning her head to look at Jinping and Jinse, the two of them did not squint, as if they did not hear what he said just now, "Jinse, Jinping, you go sit outside for a while." ”

The two maids obediently lifted the curtain and sat outside, chatting with the coachman.

There were only the two of them left in the carriage, Xia Mingyi's amber pupils were dyed dark, and he couldn't suppress his panic and reached out to hug her.

“…… Yesterday, my sister said that my aunt was such a biological mother, my sister said it wrong, my mother used her own life to save me, and my aunt would rather commit herself to being a concubine for Lord Xia for me, I can't forget this kindness, sister, I'm sorry......"

Chan Yi couldn't break free, and pulled the hem of his clothes embroidered with cloud patterns, a little angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? Aunt Yan is your biological mother, you entered the Xia Mansion at the age of seven, and you are the third master of the Xia Mansion, remember?

Xia Mingyi has been smart since she was a child, obedient and bosom friend, and she vaguely understood in her heart that she knew his identity, so she gently kissed her side cheek and hugged her hard.

Chanyi noticed that Xia Mingyi's whole person was clouded, closed her eyes, and somewhat understood why her mother said that it was not easy for him, carrying such hatred, although he was raised by Jin Zun and Jade in Xia Mansion, but after all, he did not see the light of day, let alone revenge, unconsciously, the softest place in his heart seemed to be gently touched, and she stretched out her hand to pat his back.

"Okay, I don't blame you, don't be sad, it'll be fine in the future. ”

The girl's soft voice comforted him softly, just like when he was six years old, he followed his aunt to Guang'an Temple to pray for blessings, he was bullied by other children in Guang'an Temple, she suddenly appeared, caught off guard, and entered his heart, and never let go again.

"But," Chan Yi patted him on the arm that hugged him, "You are not too young, but you know that men and women are very guarded, if you continue to pester me like this when you were a child, I will ignore you again." ”

He likes to hold her at every turn, which makes her feel a little inappropriate, and his behavior has exceeded the normal intimacy between sisters and brothers, making her overwhelmed.

Xia Mingyi heard her say that he didn't pay attention to himself anymore, and hurriedly retracted his arm.

……

When I arrived at the Xiliu camp, I saw the high erection of the martial arts platform from a distance, and on both sides of the competition platform were temporary sheltered sheds, and every few steps were placed burning hot charcoal basins, which were used for heating the children of Xungui.

The Xiliu Camp is Yan Yunwei's martial arts training ground on weekdays, countless black-background gold-edged flags are hulasing in the air, and the passionate drumming sound comes into the ears, which makes people can't help but be shocked, and as soon as their carriage stops, the drums stop.

Chanyi put on the hat and got out of the carriage with Xia Mingyi, the guards came to pick them up and took them to a shed on the north side of the competition, Xia Mingchen, Xia Mingche and Jian Anli were all sitting in the shed at this time to avoid the wind and keep warm, Xiao Pei wiped his wooden lance on the side, while talking to Xia Mingchen, raised his eyes and saw Chanyi, his eyes lit up, the young man's voice was very handsome, and he greeted her with a smile: "The second sister is also here." ”

Chanyi smiled and nodded, Jinping spread the chair with a warm cushion, and arranged it, she just sat down, and a fiery red figure flashed in front of her, when there was a loud sound, a vermilion lacquer box was placed on the table, and the girl's bright voice sounded above her head.

"Why did you come? I've been waiting for you for a long time, try this, it's the soup-filled tofu buns I bought on Yunshui Street this morning, the skin is thin and the filling is big, and the soup is overflowing when you bite into it, and it's very fragrant!" he said as he opened the box, and brought out a large plate of steamed buns from it, still steaming.

Chanyi looked up at the heroic girl in front of her, her hair was braided into several strands, tied up with Yingluo, she was dressed in a fiery red beard, and a black gold horsewhip was tied around her waist.

It's just that some of them love to eat too much, so she can't help laughing.

Chan Yi smiled and introduced Xia Mingyi to Xiao Qing and Jian Anli: "...... This is my younger brother, Xia Mingyi," and then said to Xia Mingyi, "This is Sister Qing, the sister of the Xiao family who I told you last time, we ate vegetarian three fresh assorted noodles together on Fumin Street," and pointed to Jian Anli and said, "This is Jian Anli, the eighth master of Chengbo Houfu, you saw it last time." ”

Xia Mingyi waved his hand and saluted, shouting, "Miss Xiao, Master Jian." ”

Jian Anli returned the salute: "Young Master Xia." ”

Xiao Qing blinked his eyes, looked back and forth between the two of them a few times, and muttered: "You don't look like each other at all, and I don't know how your mother gave birth to you, all of them are so good-looking." ”

But Xiao Pei shouted on the side, "You are not a filial sister, you only think about the second sister, don't you know that I will buy a box of buns for your brother and me?"

Xiao Qing glanced at him and said impatiently: "I'll tell me to buy you something when you beat him." ”

Xiao Pei's face flushed, and he stood the wooden lance on the ground with a "duh" sound, and his tone was disdainful: "I let you before, so you can win against me......"

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Xia Mingchen hurriedly opened his mouth and thin the mud, "This bun smells so fragrant, I'll taste one too," he took one of the chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and nodded his head in praise, "It's delicious, where did Sister Qing buy it? I'll bring some back when I go back." ”

Xiao Qing saw that Chanyi hadn't eaten yet, so he waved his hand and hit Xia Mingchen's chopsticks that stretched out to hold the bun, "This is for Wanzhao, if you want to eat it, you can buy it yourself, it's in Ping'er Hutong on Yunshui Street." ”

Although she had already had breakfast, Chanyi still smiled and picked up the bun and took a bite, the skin was very thin, and the soup flowed into the spoon almost after she took a bite, it was very delicious, she praised: "It's really delicious, Sister Qing bothered." ”

Xiao Qing smiled, her heroic eyebrows and eyes revealed some girlish charm, "I knew you would love to eat, I recently found that the pot made by a shop is delicious, and now when they finish the competition, we will go there to eat the pot." ”

Xiao Mansion did not be a housewife, and General Xiao was a military general who did not smile, so Xiao Qing has always been raised as a boy, and it also led her to lose the delicacy of ordinary women, Chan Yi thought of this, and was a little more tolerant of her, took out a few boxes of snacks with him, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "You also taste the snacks I brought from the house." ”

As soon as the words fell, she heard the big drum on the Wutai clanging, Xiao Qing hurriedly sat down beside her, and pointed to the Wutai, "It's going to start, there will be a draw of lots in a while, do you know who are the people who are competing today?"

Chan Yi shook her head, she was sick at home at this time in her previous life, and she didn't catch up with this martial arts test, so she didn't know who they were.

Xiao Qing grinned and pointed to the shed opposite, "We are opposite the shed of the Duke of Ningguo's house, Gu Yi, the son of the Duke of Ningguo, and Yin Yishuang, the son-in-law of General Yin's family, are opposite, it is General Yin who is in charge of the martial arts competition today, oh, by the way, and Wang Jue is also there, I slipped around just now, guess who I saw?"

Chan Yi was a little thirsty, reached out and took a sip of the tea bowl, and asked, "Isn't it Princess Fengyi?"

Xiao Qing's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "Hey, how do you know? Isn't it her, the road is narrow, she really has idle time, she runs outside the palace all day long, thanks to her being the queen, otherwise she may not be impeached by the imperial history!"

Chanyi slammed at her Nunu and motioned her to whisper, Xiao Qing didn't care and said: "Hey, it's okay to stay away, that crazy woman can't listen to it, not only she is here today, but even the fourth prince is here, just sitting in the shed opposite us, otherwise you think that with the position of General Yin, how can you take over such an errand!"

The fourth prince, Chu Shaohan, Prince Yi in the previous life, and the two brothers in the previous life were both members of the Four Kings, so she can be said to know the four princes well.

The four princes are kind and kind, known as the virtuous king, and Xia Mingyi are two diametrically opposed personalities, there are more people who followed the four princes in the previous life than Xia Mingyi, especially after Xia Mingyi killed the prince, it was a one-sided situation.

It's just that this side is only limited to civil officials, and the people who really hold the real power are all Xia Mingyi's people, so Xia Mingyi in the previous life will force the palace to succeed so easily, until Shun Lì wins the heir.

Chanyi turned her head to look at Xia Mingyi's side face, and the sunlight shining into the shed just hit the contours of his delicate face, adding a bit of beauty to the gorgeousness, making her can't bear to think that he would become such a tyrannical person in a few years.

Sensing her gaze, Xia Mingyi turned his head and smiled at her, the cinnabar mole under the corner of his eye was faintly shining, and it was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

The sound of drums sounded from all directions, resounding in the Xiliu camp, and the guards shouted loudly on the competition platform: "Please come to the stage to draw lots in front of the stage!"

Xia Mingchen and Xiao Pei stood up, and walked in the direction of the competition platform, followed by Jian Anli.

Chanyi was a little worried, stretched out her hand and pulled Xiao Qing and asked, "Why are so many people participating?"

"Oh, this," Xiao Qing looked at the young man who drew lots on the martial arts platform, and said indifferently: "I don't know who mentioned this martial arts test to the emperor, the emperor felt that he could select a lot of talents, so he exchanged the reward for the first place with the qualification to enter Yan Yunwei, so the number of participants was twice as many as before." ”

Chanyi was surprised, you must know that Yan Yunwei has been the emperor's personal guard in the past dynasties, and those who can enter Yan Yunwei must be children of the family for three generations, and there can be no traitors in the family, such a reward is indeed tempting enough, she glanced at Jian Anli, who had drawn the lot, and was a little unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse for him.

At this time, the young man sitting in the shed opposite, who was all noble and dressed in snow-colored clothes, squinted his eyes and looked in their direction, his slender fingers like pine branches tapped Xia Mingyi who was sitting opposite, his brows furrowed, and he asked the people around him: "Who is that person?"

Beside him sat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was beautiful, wearing a peach-sprinkled solid-color pleated skirt, covered with a red carved silk ruyi cloud pattern gown, and wearing a makeup satin fox fur, with a slender figure and a waist, but her petite face was full of rebelliousness, "It's not a lowly concubine or a subordinate, and my cousin loves to make a fuss." ”

"No, if you look at him closely, there is a cinnabar mole under the corner of his eye......"

"What's the big deal with the cinnabar mole, don't you have one in the palace?" The girl looked over impatiently, and when she saw the person's delicate appearance, she couldn't help but shake her head, how could she feel as if she had seen it somewhere.
