The luxurious royal carriage slowly drove across the bluestone bridge.

When the guards on duty saw the mountain father-in-law in front of the carriage, they didn't even check, they just got out of the way, half-knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, looking extremely respectful.

In the carriage, the candle held high by the bronze man was not lit, and the light of the sky fell a little slanted into the gloomy car.

Xia Ji was silent.

Concubine Ning just looked at him with a smile on her cheeks.

"Sister doesn't know what kind of girl you like, in a few days, I will ask Hongyun to bring you a few portraits, which one you like will stay directly, and in another four years, when you are old and weak, my sister will watch you get married.

When the time comes, there will be a bride to take care of you, and you don't have to worry about your sister anymore. ”

Xia Ji asked, "Are you really happy?"

Concubine Ning smiled and said softly: "One day you will understand, but it is not what you think, my sister did not make compromises." ”

"One day, heh, which day?"

Concubine Ning was silent, and then whispered a strange word: "This day is destined to come, Xiao Ji will see it, but at that time, maybe you don't need your sister anymore." ”

Xia Ji asked, "Sister Xiao Ning, what do you mean?"

Concubine Ning covered her mouth and giggled, the little cinnabar on her eyebrows was as red as blood.

The two return to the harem.

Concubine Ning waved her hand to let the eunuch and palace maid leave, then grabbed some candied fruits for tribute, and personally went to get the freshly boiled autumn pear soup, as well as the small muffins she usually made in the palace, packed them in a delicate small wooden basket, and then carried them to the table.

With both hands on their cheeks, like a charming flower blooming, "Xiao Ji, eat." ”

Xia Ji has been in this world for sixteen years.

It can be said that all memories are reconstructed here.

With such a picture, he remembered the past.

Then...

That's how my sister watched him eat muffins with Bai Pu.

Bai Pu was his only neighbor, he was very burly, two years older than him, very calm and reliable, and never spoke easily.

Xia Ji originally came through time, and he couldn't play with ordinary children. Therefore, these two people have come and gone, but they have become good friends.

Then.

My sister would always run into the small garden and shout softly: "Xiaoji, Bai Pu, the muffins are ready, do you like the plum flavor, or tangerine peel?"

The two of them would get up at once, then rush to wash their hands, and then sit upright on the long wooden table, watch as the older sister brings the muffins to the table, and then rush to eat.

Now, because of his outstanding talent and reliable character, Bai Pu has been favored by an elder of a big force in the Great Zhou Jianghu and accepted as a closed disciple.

The big guy didn't want to go, but ended up going.

Before leaving, the big man clenched his fists and said, "Sister, Xia Ji, when my martial arts are completed, I will come back to protect you!"

Thoughts pull back.

Concubine Ning looked at him with a smile, her face did not look like a concubine at all, but she was a little playful and expectant: "Xiaoji, eat quickly, see if my sister's craftsmanship has regressed." ”

Xia Ji grabbed a piece, and there was a little bit of plum sauce on the edge of the muffin, and my sister always liked to mark it to distinguish the taste.

He brought it to his lips, took a bite, closed his eyes, and quietly enjoyed the muffin.

The taste is still the same as before, better than all the expensive delicacies of the big restaurants.

He finished eating one piece and grabbed the next.

In a moment, most of the basket was solved.

Concubine Ning looked at him gently.

Suddenly.

A cacophony rang out outside the palace.

Not long after, a little eunuch ran to the door and reported on his knees outside the door: "Concubine Ning, the emperor invites you to go to Guangfu Palace to see interesting tricks." ”

Concubine Ning regained her laziness and coldness, and asked lightly, "What trick?"

The little eunuch said: "The Taoist of Xianshan caught a doll and said that it was a monster of the demon clan, and now it is about to be displayed. ”

Concubine Ning paused, and then said, "You go and tell the emperor, the concubine will come later." ”

"No. ”

When the little eunuch arrived, he hurried down.

Xia Ji suddenly said, "Sister, you don't seem to be very happy." Aren't you happy to see youkai?"

Concubine Ning raised her head, glanced at Xia Ji in a complicated manner, and then said, "Let's go, let's go and see it together." I'm afraid of this, but with Xiaoji by my side, maybe it will be better. ”

She is slightly groomed, but she is beautiful.

Then Xingning Palace drove and Xia Ji accompanied him, and they went in the direction of Guangfu Palace together.

Guangfu Palace was very lively, but almost all of them were palace maids and eunuchs, and the rest of the concubines were not invited much.

The Great Zhou Emperor Ji Sheng was obsessed with immortality, so he attached great importance to Taoists.

At this time, he was chatting with a Taoist in an apricot yellow robe.

In the courtyard of Guangfu Palace, an iron cage is placed.

The cage is filled with an unconscious pink doll.

Ji Sheng smiled and beckoned, and Concubine Ning walked up.

When the emperor saw the young man beside Concubine Ning, he also showed a happy appearance, and said in a majestic voice: "Come here together and sit next to Concubine Ning." ”

Concubine Ning glanced at the doll in the cage, "Your Majesty, whose child is this, how can it be a monster?"

Ji Sheng laughed and said, "Concubine Ai, you don't know, right?"

Wang Zhenren of Qingfeng Mountain, but a character who has been taught supernatural powers by the immortals, the child he captured looks like a human being, but as long as it is baked with a blazing fire, it will quickly turn into the appearance of a monster. ”

Concubine Ning glanced at the doll in the cage and rubbed her forehead as if she had a headache: "The concubine is a little unwell. ”

The emperor was about to say something, but Wang Zhenren glanced at this side and already raised his voice: "Your Majesty, everything is ready." ”

Ji Sheng slightly appeased Concubine Ning, and then gave him an interesting taste: "Let's start." ”

That Wang Zhenren stood in front of the iron cage.

He took out a talisman from his bosom, silently recited a spell, and then shot it out and stuck it to the iron cage.

In a flash.

The talisman burned brightly, turning into a circle of fierce fiery snakes that surrounded the iron cage.

The caged doll woke up suddenly, he looked around, showed fear, and then opened his mouth to let out a roar.

The roar was loud, startling the surrounding royal family and the eunuch palace guards to let out some exclamations.

But soon the exclamation turned into laughter.

"The voice is a youkai. ”

"It is worthy of being a real person from Qingfeng Mountain, this talisman is really a fairy spell. ”

"It's really an eye-opener, I didn't expect this monster to be a child just from the appearance, who would have thought that. ”

In the flames.

The doll quickly turned into a pink white-haired rabbit, and at the moment when it transformed, the flame of the talisman entered through the crack in the iron cage, enveloping the rabbit and burning wantonly.

Wang Zhenren suddenly said: "This goblin is actually not dead yet, and the demon soul in its body is still waiting to escape, so it also needs a second talisman to kill its soul, which can be regarded as the real monster."

Your Majesty, do you think anyone is willing to use this talisman to kill monsters?"

The emperor looked at the burning white-haired rabbit with a smile, and suddenly said, "Concubine Ning, this is quite interesting, you can go." ”

Concubine Ning pursed her lips, looked at the iron cage, and then said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is not feeling well, maybe she has eaten too much autumn pear soup..."

Ji Sheng was about to say something, but Wang Zhenren suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay, Concubine Ning Niangniang come and try it, this blessing of exterminating demons can bless Niangniang's health." ”

As soon as the emperor heard that he could bless his health, he immediately said, "Concubine Ning, go." ”

Xia Ning couldn't hide, so she smiled, then got up, took the talisman in the hand of the real person in the apricot yellow robe, closed her eyes and threw it into the iron cage.

The talisman suddenly turned into a white flame.

The white-haired rabbit, which was originally dying, suddenly let out a strange scream, and then it really collapsed, and the flesh of its whole body was burned like paper money, turning into ashes in the wind.

Wang Zhenren smiled and said, "Concubine Ning, how do you feel?"

Concubine Ning said: "I really feel a little blessed... My body is also better. ”

Wang Zhenren laughed and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

Xia Ji watched quietly.

His gaze stayed on that Wang Zhenren for a moment, and the appearance of this Taoist had been recorded by him.
