Yao Miaoyi naturally has no problem dealing with a hunting dog, but the hunting dogs are in pairs, and she has to protect Song Xiuer behind her, so she has a hard time.

Fortunately, Zhu Di came forward in time to relieve the siege, and the hot dog blood was spilled all over the ground. Zhu Di looked at Yao Miaoyi holding a dagger in her hand, frightened, and felt quite distressed and annoyed in her heart.

There was a chaotic sound from the cedars by the lake, which should be the person behind who drove the hound to hurt Yao Miaoyi.

There are only a few people who can be wild in the palace. Zhu Di calmly grabbed the two bows and arrows on the horseback, cut off the iron arrows, bent the bow like a full moon, and shot towards the back under the cedars.

"Ahh

"Ming'er!"

There was an exclamation under the cedar, and Zhu Di and Yao Miaoyi instantly judged who it was: the second brother Zhu Fan and Deng Ming, the eldest daughter of Wei Guogong! The two looked at each other, but neither spoke. Song Xiuer wanted to ask a few words, but Yao Miaoyi covered her mouth.

The arrow has been cut off and will not be fatal, but Zhu Di uses a strong bow, and the power of the shot is strong, even through the thick winter clothes, it can hurt the flesh and skin, and it hurts heart-wrenching.

However, at this time, if Zhu Fan and Deng Ming's IQ had not fallen below the ice, they could only swallow their anger and run away, and would not jump out to accuse Zhu Di of them.

Zhu Fan saw that the fourth brother came to relieve the siege, so he pulled Deng Ming away, but he didn't expect Zhu Di to really do it, so he didn't have any defense, until the sound of arrows breaking through the air came from behind him, and it was too late to dodge.

The two arrows without arrows landed accurately at the mouth of Zhu Hu and Deng Ming's waistcoats, if the arrows were still there, piercing the heart, they would both die here, becoming a pair of dead mandarin ducks!

Zhu Hu looked at the broken arrow in the snow and knew that the fourth brother had left a trace of affection. Deng Ming's back hurt, tears came out, she picked up the broken arrow, and was about to rush to the rockery to find Zhu Di to settle the account, but Zhu Hu grabbed her, and said in a low voice:

"It's not good to stay here, let's leave quickly."

Deng Ming glared angrily, "I have never dared to do this to me, you coward, you are actually afraid of Zhu Di, you are the elder brother, he is the younger brother, the younger brother dares to shoot his brother with a bow and arrow, it is simply a big rebellion!" ”

Zhu Huan's face turned red and said: "The fourth brother has a deep mind and good martial arts, his father takes a fancy to him, and even the prince doesn't ask for anything cheap in his hands." Besides, this matter is our fault in the first place, if it goes to the father and the queen mother, you and I can't eat, so we will go around. ”

Deng Ming stomped his feet angrily, "Okay, I said that I would be good to me for the rest of my life and protect me, but when I touched the iron plate, I immediately changed my hexagram." I-I'll go home and tell my father, brother! , I want them to get justice for me! ”

With that, Deng Ming jumped onto the ice lake, and the skates of his wooden shoes slid across the ice, leaving a clear and graceful arc. Zhu Fan sighed helplessly and followed closely.

At this time, the palace guards also arrived, and saw Zhu Di standing in the snow, with dog corpses and dog blood sprinkled all over the ground under his feet, so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said: "My subordinates are late to save the car, ask King Yan for forgiveness!" ”

Zhu Di said: "Count the number of hunting dogs in the palace, don't run out and hurt people." You send Miss Song back first. ”

Song Xiu'er was paralyzed by the blood and corpses all over the ground, and the guards carried her back to the room with a warm sedan chair.

In the Flying Wing Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, Zhu Di and Yao Miaoyi are in pairs.

Yao Miaoyi was wrapped in a bear skin that Zhu Di had given her before, and said, "Thank you for what happened just now." ”

Zhu Di asked, "Don't you blame me for letting them go?" ”

"No, it won't." Yao Miaoyi smiled, "I'm not Deng Ming." "The implication is that I am not as willful as her, and everything can be done in moderation. After all, Zhu Hu is the second prince, Zhu Di's brother, and it really fell out, and it is not good for anyone.

And Yao Miaoyi felt that she was not worthy of Zhu Di to pay so much for her. It was enough to just relieve the siege of the hounds, and she also shot a severed arrow to warn Zhu Hu and Deng Ming, and she was very grateful.

Zhu Di said: "I just returned to the palace from the Zhou Mansion - Wei Guogong was still there to check Zhou Kui's things during his lifetime, hoping to find clues and prove his innocence. ”

When it comes to her father, Yao Miaoyi has a faint pain in her heart, and now, she doesn't know whether to believe Xu Da or not, from the bottom of her bones, she still longs for family affection, and hopes that her father is innocent, but what if she ......

She can't call her mother's killer her father, and she might even take revenge on him.

"Do you believe in Wei Guogong?" Yao Miaoyi asked with difficulty.

Zhu Di said: "I once followed the Northern Expedition of Wei Guogong, and I felt that he was not the kind of person who killed his wife and daughter. Mrs. Zhou's words are really far-fetched, although my father is very disgusted with the rebel Xie Zaixing, but he has no intention of angering the big and small Xie sisters. Even if his cousin Zhu Wenzheng rebelled later, his son Zhu Shouqian still got the honor that the county king deserved. ”

What about honor? It's just to show the emperor's benevolence, how sincere can it be? Speaking of her cousin, Yao Miaoyi euphemistically questioned and said: "King Jingjiang seems to have occasional depression on his face. ”

At the mention of this, Zhu Di instantly recalled the appearance of his nephew Zhu Shouqian holding Yao Miaoyi's hand and bandaging her tiger mouth scars in the afternoon.

Cousin cousin, childhood sweetheart. Even if they don't recognize each other, the occasional little intimacy between their demeanors is also full of ambiguous associations, and suddenly the cold wind with snowflakes is full of vinegar.

Zhu Di's face turned cold and asked, "You care about Zhu Shouqian very much?" ”

Yao Miaoyi didn't know Zhu Di's careful thoughts, she was just very vigilant in protecting her heart, and didn't want others to know that she and her cousin had actually recognized each other, so she answered the question with a question and said:

"King Jingjiang is your nephew, don't you care about him?"

It's really a pot that can't be opened, Zhu Di suddenly realized that he was actually Yao Miaoyi's cousin...... What about the elders who are serious!

So the vinegar added a sense of shame.

However, Zhu Di has always been thoughtful, his heart is mixed, his face is still calm, and he said: "Zhu Shouqian's parents left early, and his father's death was not honorable. The queen mother took him to the palace to be raised, and among the people in the palace, there were few kind, and many of them were high and low. It's normal for him to be a little resentful, or depressed. ”

Zhu Di paused and said: "The palace is very complicated, in fact, it's not just Zhu Shouqian. Even I, as you know, my biological mother, Concubine Shuo, was a Korean, and she died after giving birth to her fifth brother, and my brother and I were raised under our mother's knees since childhood. ”

"The Queen Mother is a just person, and she treats all of us children equally, without partiality. It's just that at that time, she was busy assisting her father to conquer the world, and even her own body was dragged down, not to mention taking care of me and my fifth brother. ”

"My fifth brother and I have also been discriminated against and despised by others. The fifth brother's nurse is an example. For the sake of good milk, the nurse eats pig's trotter soup and rice without salt day and night, and she is very irritable, she pinched the little buttocks of the fifth brother behind her back, and scolded him for being a little slut of the Goryeo maid girl. She slandered me for lying, saying that she was afraid of breaking her teeth and didn't give me candy on weekdays, and I wanted to find an excuse to drive her away. ”

didn't expect Zhu Di to have such a difficult to look back on the past, and he unabashedly told it, Yao Miaoyi was very surprised, "The slave bullies the master, bullying you at a young age." And then? The queen is wise, she should have seen who is lying. ”

Zhu Di said: "The nurse is cunning, she secretly hid the candy under my bedding, framed and framed, and the father and emperor happened to be there that day, so angry that I was so angry that I knelt down to admit my mistake, and I knelt until I fainted and refused to admit my guilt." The queen mother felt that something was wrong, so she sent the nurse away, and replaced her with an honest peasant woman to take care of the fifth brother. ”

Yao Miaoyi said with some indignation: "Bullying children, that nurse is too hateful, there will definitely be no good end." ”

Zhu Di said lightly: "There is no biological mother to take care of, and the biological mother is from a humble background, so she will indeed suffer some grievances, but there is nothing absolutely fair and just in this world." There is no other way but to be self-reliant and make yourself perfect and indestructible. ”

"It's like this mountain tower." In the Flying Wing Pavilion, Zhu Di pointed to the beautiful scenery of Jiming Mountain, "The higher you climb, the obstacles under your feet are stepped on, so that they can only look up at themselves and bow their heads." The so-called obstacles are simply not worth your time to dislike and resent.

On the contrary, they have become your stepping stones, and you are not even interested in bending down to look at them. It's like you won't dust off the soles of your feet because it doesn't matter, and it will also get your hands dirty. ”

Zhu Di straightened his chest and put his hands on his waist, and said: "So I think Zhu Shouqian's depressed color is unnecessary, blaming others for being too vicious and snobbish is equivalent to wasting his time and wisdom in unnecessary resentment, in fact, his heart is not strong enough, and his mind is not mature enough." ”

Listening to Zhu Di's heartfelt words, Yao Miaoyi suddenly had a feeling, as if she had seen a lot of things, and said: "So be a person who is not shocked, just concentrate on doing your own thing, and don't waste your life in hopeless negative feelings such as resentment and jealousy." ”

Knowing that your cousin Zhu Shouqian is a person with obvious flaws, Zhu Di achieved his goal and nodded, "That's what it means." Miaoyi, although I don't know where you came from, what are your plans. But I want you to see the direction and not get lost in resentment and doubt. ”

Yao Miaoyi said secretly: Huh? Speaking of which, how did it come to me? But it seems to make sense. I've known each other for two years, and I've always felt that Zhu Di is unfathomable and a cold-faced prince, but I didn't expect Zhu Di to use his own life experience as an example to explain me......

When Yao Miaoyi returned to the room, Song Xiu'er didn't feel sleepy, and kept waiting for her, "That Yan Wang is Zhu Wulang's own brother, why are the brothers so different in temperament and personality?" Zhu Wulang is like a dough, and there is no prince shelf at all; King Yan is like an unsheathed sword, murderous, don't get close to the living, I'm so afraid. ”

Yao Miaoyi remembered what Zhu Di said in the Flying Wing Pavilion, and sighed: "Because Zhu Di has sharpened the edge of the sword, he can protect the naïve obsession of his younger brother Zhu Wulang." ”

Song Xiu'er nodded ignorantly, and for some reason, she turned over and fell asleep after talking a lot, and she didn't say anything all night.

The next day, Song Xiuer slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, and Yao Miaoyi by the pillow didn't know where she went. She washed up and went out, just in time to see Mao Xiang guarding the yard.

"Ah Mao-" As soon as Song Xiu'er spoke, she immediately felt that something was wrong, and changed her words and said, "Mao Qianhu, it's early." ”

Mao Xiao pointed to the sky and said, "It's almost noon." ”

Song Xiu'er looked ashamed, thought about it, and still approached and said, "Mao Qianhu, I haven't had time to thank you for saving me in the Human Skin Hall yesterday." ”

Mao Xiang smiled and said: "You're welcome - you do a good deed every day and gave me a bottle of hot sauce, which tastes good." ”

Song Xiuer said: "I know the recipe for hot sauce, will I make a small jar for you every month in the future?" ”

"Nothing to do." Mao Xiang found it interesting and asked, "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”

Song Xiu'er remembered Yao Miaoyi's words last night that King Yan sharpened himself to protect her younger brother Zhu Wulang, and said embarrassedly: "I-I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I always drag Sister Yao down." You are so powerful, you can subdue the assassin with three punches and two feet, can you teach me some superficial fist and foot kung fu, I will go back and practice well, so that I will not lag behind in the future. ”

Mao Xiao stroked the hilt of the sword on his waist and groaned, "Well, it's not difficult." Practice three times in summer, practice three nines in winter, practice hard, and there will always be small achievements in three or four years, which is enough to protect yourself. But there's one thing I need you to do. ”

Song Xiu'er asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

In the middle of winter, the girl's eyes are pure and innocent, innocent, and glamorous like plum blossoms, in the face of such a Song Xiuer, Mao Xiao was reluctant to say the vulgar and ridiculous words that people in the army are used to, and changed her words: "Remember to put more meat in the hot sauce." ”
