As soon as he had breakfast, a little eunuch ran in and said that Zhao Lingxin was asking to see the great master at the door.

Qiao Xiaoqiao slapped his head, "It's over!" It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! I don't know what kind of hatred this Zhao Lingxin has with herself! Open your mouth and close your mouth to curse yourself to death, since you can't avoid it, you can only face it. ”

Why is Zhao Lingxin here? "Little Joe! Are you in trouble again? Is it against others again? ”

"Well, yes! The top is not the top is just a bump! But I didn't say anything! But she opened her mouth and asked me why I wasn't dead yet! Cut! It makes me feel like I hate her! ”

"Didn't I repeatedly emphasize to you not to run into others? Do you think you are still living in a society governed by the rule of law in the 21st century? If you say the wrong thing here, you might lose your head?! Who is Zhao Zhen? Even the emperor has to be afraid of three points of people! Can his daughter be a good stubble? What's more, there is the support of Queen Mingyue、、、"

As she spoke, Zhao Lingxin walked in.

"Zhao Lingxin meets the great teacher! I heard that the great teacher contracted a cold a few days ago, I wonder if it has improved recently? Before entering the palace yesterday, my father repeatedly told the little girl to come to visit the great teacher! Zhao Lingxin bent down.

"Huh! It's rare that Lord Taiwei still remembers it like this! The old man is really grateful! It's just that the old man has this old bone, and I'm used to having today and no tomorrow!. ”

Zhao Lingxin turned her head to stare at Qiao Xiaoqiao and said in a weird manner: "Huh! Isn't this the girl who broke into the Taiwei Mansion last time? I heard that he was imprisoned in a prison by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I thought I had been executed! But I didn't expect to meet it at the house of the great master! It's a bit weird! I don't know what the relationship between this girl and the great master is?. ”

"Huh! Miss Zhao misunderstood, this child has nothing to do with the old man, the reason why the old man brought the child back was because he was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to know why she trespassed into the Taiwei Mansion that day? Was he instructed by some gangster to plot against His Royal Highness the Prince? But this kid didn't know what he was stimulated by, and he didn't remember anything about the past! There was no place to settle for a while, so the old man had to let her live here temporarily! ”

"It's the most amazing thing in the world! The prisoners have all been placed in the home of the great master! It can be seen that this girl is really unusual! Anyway, I've never seen such a good prisoner! ”

Zhao Lingxin looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao angrily.

Jiang Li was not in a hurry or impatient, still smiling: "The old man is just doing things according to the will of His Royal Highness the Prince!" The other old men have no right to ask, if Miss Zhao really has doubts, she might as well ask His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Zhao Lingxin suffered a dumb loss, and only rolled her eyes angrily.

As soon as Zhao Lingxin went out on the front foot, Qiao Xiaoqiao jumped up excitedly and grabbed Jiang Li's hand: "Hehe! Well done! It is worthy of being a great teacher! In a few words, Miss Zhao was angry and left! ”。

Jiang Li's face was solemn: "Xiao Qiao! There are no more rules in this palace than outside! The most offended here is the Queen of the Bright Moon! Now it's good that there is another Zhao Lingxin! This Zhao Lingxin has always held a grudge against you for the good thing you did to her last time! With her personality, she won't just give up! If you continue to live here in such an unknown way, we will have to find a way to do it! ”。

"She likes the prince, and I didn't hinder her! Why is she looking for my fault! Besides, I'm helpless now, where can I go without you? ”

Jiang Li touched Qiao Xiaoqiao's head with pity: "Don't worry! There will definitely be a way. ”

Qiyun Palace originally had two maids, because they were sent home last month because of their age, the eunuchs all knew Zhao Lingxin's background, and no one dared to call her, and Zhao Lingxin had nothing else to do on weekdays except for finding an opportunity to offer tea and ink to the prince.

Zhao Wei was worried that her daughter would suffer in the palace, so she privately sent the maid Xiangluo in through Queen Mingyue, so Zhao Lingxin just lived in a more humble place than in Taiwei's Mansion, and other treatments basically did not change.

Zhao Lingxin was already worried about the prince's arrangement to live in the maid's room, but suddenly there was another Qiao Xiaoqiao she hated the most, dangling under her nose every day, and she was even more aggrieved in her heart.

Since the last time, Qiao Xiaoqiao has avoided Zhao Lingxin every time she sees her, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Half a month has passed, and the New Year will be in ten days, Qiao Xiaoqiao also misses her relatives in another world more and more, in order to avoid Zhao Lingxin, she usually waits until late to run to the garden alone to relax.

It's the moon again tonight! The snow in the garden has almost melted, but the soil on the ground is still a little slippery, Qiao Xiaoqiao squatted on the ground alone, holding a small branch in his hand, and whispered while gesturing in the mud: Dad, Mom, Xiaotuanzi、、、、 and he couldn't cry anymore when he read it.

Not far away, a tall figure hidden in the shadows silently looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao who was squatting on the ground.

The next day, Qiao Xiaoqiao, who was still asleep, heard someone call her name, and when she opened her eyes, she stood in front of her with a big surprise.

Joe Xiaoqiao jumped up from the bed! hugged the person in front of him and jumped and laughed.

"Ruyi! When did you come out? Is the injury healed? ”

Ruyi also looked excited: "That little injury has already healed!" In the early hours of this morning, Lord Xuantie suddenly went to the prison and said that he wanted to take me out! Lord Xuantie also said: In the future, I can live in the mansion of the Great Teacher, and be responsible for taking care of the living conditions of the Great Teacher, and then I heard that you also live here! I'm so happy that we can both play together every day in the future! ”。

"Darksteel? Is that big, fluffy guy? ”

"Hmmm! Although Lord Xuantie is a little fierce on the outside, he is very kind on the inside! Ruyi's cheeks flushed slightly.

"Haha! Do you like that、、Darksteel-sama? ”

"Nope! Not at all! Don't guess! ”

"Still say no? Look at your face is red! Hahahaha! ”

"Talk nonsense! See I don't hit you! ”

"Come on! Want to hit me! Catch me first!! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao wore a white petticoat and scurried around the house, chasing after Ruyi.

The whole room was filled with the laughter of the two young girls.

Since Ruyi came over, Qiao Xiaoqiao's life has been much more fulfilling, and the little eunuch Jixiang of Qiyun Palace has also sent some delicious snacks every once in a while, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let the great master try it!

As soon as the front foot went out, the two little girls on the back foot opened the snack box and began to feast.

"Anyway, the great master doesn't like to eat sweet! It's a pity to let it go! Joe Joe always finds a reason to eat.

The 25th day of the lunar month, because it is the last early pilgrimage of the year! The emperor wants to convene all the ministers to discuss the annual "Lap Sacrifice" ceremony scheduled for the 28th day of the lunar month, and the "selection of maids" on the Shangyuan Festival.

The so-called "wax sacrifice": because it is carried out in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, people call December the wax moon.

The waxer, Suoye, the year of December, gathers all things and asks for food! Because "wax" is similar to "wax"! Sacrificing ancestors is called "wax", and sacrificing to the gods is called "wax"! "Wax" and "wax" are both a kind of sacrificial activity! It is to worship the ancestors and worship the gods with the beasts that are beaten, pray for blessings and longevity, and avoid disasters and welcome auspiciousness.

Every year, the "Lap Festival" ceremony is held in Chitose Mountain outside Yanlan City! At that time, all men over the age of 15 and above of the royal family and their families can participate! Participants hunt on their own, and the Emperor ultimately chooses the best sacrifice! If one's prey is chosen to be sacrificed, it is a great honor! If you are less, you will be awarded thousands of acres of fertile land! Many of them have been directly added to the rank of knight and have made steady progress.!

And "Choosing a Maid" is scheduled to be held on the 15th day of the first lunar month! This is an important event that takes place in the palace! Generally, it is run by the queen herself, and the civil and military officials are jointly selected.

First of all, a hundred qualified women will be selected across the country, and then the best twenty will be selected after layers of screening, and these twenty selected maids will be sent in: six in the emperor's Tianyi Palace, four in the queen's Mingyue Palace, four in the prince's Qiyun Palace, and one for each of the six imperial ladies!

All the women of the Great Yan Kingdom want to enter the palace by choosing maids! Everyone knows that once they are selected, they may be assigned to Qiyun Palace! It is not impossible to live under the same roof with His Royal Highness the Prince, even if she is a maid, not to mention the possibility of being selected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to become the future princess.

Jiang Li told Qiao Xiaoqiao that living in the National Teacher's Mansion like this is not a long-term solution after all, and choosing a maid this time is an excellent opportunity! Let her grasp it! If she can be selected, it means that she will have a legitimate identity in Yan Country in the future.

Qiao Xiaoqiao held a copy of "The Book of Women" and read it all day, most of the traditional Chinese characters in it did not know, Jiang Li took the trouble to teach her over and over again, which moved her deeply, and she secretly encouraged herself in her heart, "You must fight!" We must not let down the great master's hard work for me! ”

Ruyi leaned on the table opposite Qiao Xiaoqiao with his chin in his hands, and looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao with admiration, except for a very small number of girls from superior families who can read and read some words in Yan Kingdom, women from ordinary families do not have this opportunity.

"Little Joe! You've been watching it all day! Suffocated! Let's go out for a walk! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao stretched, "Okay! I'm just tired.! ”

As usual, the two girls walked hand in hand and laughing towards the flowers, and halfway through they heard what seemed to be movement in the garden, and they quietly lay outside the low wall next to the garden, looking in on their toes.

In an open field in the garden, two figures, one black and one white, are practicing martial arts, Xuantie wields a pair of iron hammers like fists to dodge and dodge flexibly, the two fists are whirring everywhere they go, Mu Qingyun dances with a long sword extremely elegantly, the whole body hovers in the sky above Xuantie, and the swordsmanship of the clouds and rivers is dazzling.

"Wow! That's cool! A scene that you can only see on TV! Ay! Wishful! Have you ever noticed that wood is actually quite handsome when he wields a sword? ”

"What pants, TV? Little Joe, what are you talking about? I don't understand! Also, who is Wood? ”

"Uh, wood is wood Qingyun! A while ago, when I was bored alone, I secretly nicknamed the people around me! Hush! Don't tell me about it! ”

"Ahh Who do you nickname? Come and hear it! Is there a Darksteel-sama? What's your nickname? ”

"Haha! And said it wasn't interesting to that big guy? is so attentive to other people's nicknames, which exposes your careful thinking! Well! All right! Since you're in such a hurry, let's tell you, Xuantie is called Big Iron Bull!! What do you think? Isn't that appropriate? ”

"Hahaha! Tractor! Wood! Little Joe, you are so talented! ”

The two little girls smiled and leaned back together, forgetting that there were two big living people in the garden.

When they reacted, the two people were standing on the wall looking at them with black lines on their faces.

"Give us a nickname behind your back, and you're fat enough? Do you want to invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince over and hear what nickname you gave him! Well? ”

"Oops! Two adults! Don't get me wrong! We have no malice, we admire the courage of the two adults! We took two nicknames that I thought were cute to express our admiration! Besides! All things are gone! We're all about the same age, we don't have to look up and see each other, there's no need to be tense every time we meet, we can make friends! ”

Mu Qingyun snorted coldly, don't look over.

Xuantie scratched his head shyly, and said angrily, "Hehe! Actually, I like your personality! I've wanted to be friends with you for a long time! But every time you look like you're rejecting people thousands of miles away! I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak. ”

Mu Qingyun looked at Xuan Tie with disdain.

Qiao Xiaoqiao laughed, "Aha! I apologize to you for my ignorance! The four of us will be good friends in the future! It's the kind that can stick a knife in each other's ribs! Let's shake hands! ”

Qiao Xiaoqiao, Ruyi, and Xuantie clasped their hands tightly!

"Wood! Are you sure you don't want to come along? Qiao Xiaoqiao asked with a smile.

Mu Qingyun's face flushed slightly, he raised his right hand and quickly put it on everyone's hands, then withdrew his hand and turned away and muttered "Childish!" ”

The three of them shouted in unison, "Wooden _ head!" Then they laughed together.
