Night is approaching, the large sunset is gradually receding, and the purple mist has long since dissipated, which is destined to be a sleepless night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Cen Kexuan sat in the house, faintly feeling a little flustered, and called the girl Li'er to cook a bowl of tea for herself, and planned to fall asleep early after drinking tea, but after just drinking only two sips, he saw Dou Lan, who had disappeared for most of the day, came over happily to spread the word, saying that the palace master was going to hold a banquet tonight to entertain the guests of Yujing Villa, and specially came to inform her that she wanted to attend within half an hour.

Sure enough, she should have expected it. Helplessly, he looked at Dou Lan, who was smiling and bent his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder: "You want to go too?" Dou Lan smiled, "I'm going to help prepare the drinks." After speaking, he left Ning Xin Pavilion happily like a bird, obviously in a very good mood and extremely enthusiastic. This is the first time that Dou Lan has been so proactive in the banquet in the palace, which is really amazing.

Cen Kexuan shook his head, and suddenly became embarrassed, the palace master set up a banquet to entertain the guests of Yujing Villa, and he, the person who was about to marry, was bound to show up, but she had never seen a few outsiders since she was a child, but she suddenly wanted to meet the legendary person, and then remembered what happened during the day, this is really ...... Cen Kexuan looked at Shulan, and Shulan said with a smile: "Today's full moon and clear wind are indeed a good day for a banquet." Cen Kexuan said angrily: "Then why don't you go?" Shulan shook her head, made an unteachable expression and said, "I'm not from the Purple Cloud Palace, why do I want to go?" The implication is that he has no reason to attend the banquet in the Purple Cloud Palace, and he doesn't want to show his face at all.

This is the truth, everyone in the rivers and lakes is afraid of the Ziyun Palace, but Shulan comes and goes freely, as if it is her own home, this is really incomprehensible, but Cen Kexuan has seen him enter and leave the Ziyun Palace casually since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to it, but he hasn't thought too much, so it's not strange.

Turned back to the room and turned out a turquoise dress, embroidered a few delicate pink and white plum blossoms on the skirt, this is the new clothes that Doulan made for her at the beginning of the month, and it is also a gift for Cen Kexuan's seventeenth birthday.

Shulan didn't care, he sat on the edge of the bed and yawned lazily and said, "You are Murong Qi's sister-in-law, no matter how you wear it, he won't think you are rude." Cen Kexuan glanced at him, revealing a look of disdain: "I'm not you, I always look like a casual idler." As soon as she finished speaking, she chewed on Shulan's words again before asking, "What do you mean by 'he'?" Shulan said meaningfully: "Isn't it because you dress up carefully because there is a Bai Moyin?" ”

Cen Kexuan's face turned red in an instant, and he forcibly denied it calmly: "This has nothing to do with Mo Yin's son." After all, they represent Yujing Villa, and I can't be negligent in their affection and courtesy. Although she did linger on her embarrassing image when she first met, she also faintly looked forward to dressing up carefully and showing a delicate Peugeot, so as not to be recognized by Bai Moyin. As time passed, he gradually forgot the scene by the bridge, and it couldn't be better. Naturally, she couldn't ask for it.

Recalling all the things in the day, I was bored again, and I heard Shulan say in an indifferent tone: "Yes." I don't know who just met someone today, and I was nervous like something......" Cen Kexuan immediately denied: "I didn't have a ......" Shulan said: "Did I say it's you?" ”

Cen Kexuan's face was red, speechless, so he had to stare at him with some hatred, and seeing that Shulan was sitting on the edge of her bed, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said angrily while dragging the person out: "You come down for me, who let you sit on my bed casually." Who knew that Shulan took off his hand with a flip of his wrist, rolled into the bed like a loach, wrapped the brocade quilt around his body, and showed a pair of peach blossom eyes and a smile full of spring breeze.

Cen Kexuan shouted again: "You come down for me." Shulan shook her head and smiled, "I'm sleepy." Cen Kexuan sneered: "Are your eyes so wide when you are sleepy?" Shulan snorted lightly: "Joke, who rules that you have to close your eyes when you are sleepy?" Don't all fish in the water sleep with their eyes open? Cen Kexuan sneered: "Then are you a fish?" If so, why don't you let me kick you back into the water? ”

Shulan lazily pillowed her hands, crossed her legs and said: "If Xiao Xuanxuan really has the ability to kick me into the water, then I will also be merciful to beg the fish god in the water to rain to give us Xiao Xuanxuan to reduce the fire, pity me for this kind-hearted person, repay virtue with resentment, but someone will only bite Lu Dongbin, the world is really cold, the world is cold!" ”

Cen Kexuan was so angry that he laughed at his godly appearance, didn't bother to pay attention to him, and after snorting coldly, he returned to the dresser by himself, bowed his head slightly, and began to dress up in front of the dim brass mirror. Since Dou Lan was not there, she had to come by herself.

Her beautiful face was reflected in the bronze mirror, not very clear, but it revealed a moving dexterity, black eyes and black hair, white skin and red lips, she gently smeared a little rouge on herself, her fair cheeks instantly flushed a lot, seeing Shulan looking at her without hesitation, her face was slightly red, and she said angrily: "Aren't you sleepy, turn around quickly and close your eyes." ”

Shulan didn't blink her eyes, but said lightly: "I can't sleep." It's all rouge, and it smells bad. He frowned slightly.

Nonsense, she usually wears no makeup and rarely dresses up, how can there be such a strong smell of rouge on the bed? Cen Kexuan ******** on Bai Moyin, who was about to face, he really had no time to care, and after lowering his head and tidying up his makeup, he left Shulan and rushed to the banquet alone.

Shulan was still lying lazily on the bed, her eyes staring straight at the bed curtain above her head, and after a long time, she muttered to herself: "The girl of the South China Sea never uses rouge." ”

The banquet is placed in a courtyard, two columns are spread out, the glass cup is placed on the table, and there are jade plates and delicacies, grapes and wine, which can be regarded as a luxurious style. This courtyard is not far from Caixuan Palace, a pond of lotus flowers behind it, several branches of purple bamboo around it, and more than a dozen pear blossoms are contrasted with each other, and there is a gentle night breeze, such a scenery is described by the word charming and more suitable. The four corners of the courtyard, the silver carved candlesticks are side by side, about one person high, there is a palace maid palm lamp on the side, double buns, light blue silk shirts, lowering eyes quietly, such as the woman in the painting. The crescent moon hangs in the clouds, the moonlight pours like a veil, a banquet is set up here at night, the moon stars are scarce, the bamboo shadow is swaying, don't be a moving beauty.

The main guests in the courtyard have all been seated, in addition to the palace master Murong Qi, there are also the protectors of the Ziyun Palace to accompany them, Cen Kexuan looked around curiously, and found that Hua Yue was not there, and he felt a little strange in his heart, and he didn't think about it. The guests from Yujing Villa have already taken their seats, and the dancers in the courtyard are dancing in light yarns, their skirts are flying, and their postures are graceful, because the women of the Purple Cloud Palace are all martial arts practitioners, and their postures are naturally a little more resilient than ordinary dancers, charming and enchanting.

Murong Qi, who was located in the first seat, nodded to her after seeing Cen Kexuan, she understood, and hurriedly found a good position to sit upright with some embarrassment, and then began to look at the people in Yujing Villa.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally Bai Moyin, he is still dressed like snow-white, dyed with green silk and ink, his expression is indifferent, under this cold moonlight, he is as elegant as passing away. When Cen Kexuan arrived, he stopped the wine cup in his hand and looked at her quietly. This glance made her so shocked that she immediately lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at him for half a minute. And this initial cowardice also made her miss the most unfathomable moment in his eyes.

Sitting next to Bai Moyin was a young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, the same age as Cen Kexuan, dressed in black, taking advantage of the original youthful face to be a little more mature, his hair stood up high, and his expression was a little unruly. This young man had heard that he would be able to see the Murong Palace Master and the Four Great Dharma Protectors tonight, and he was a little looking forward to it, but after seeing it at this moment, he turned his head and said coldly: "You really didn't lie to me." ”

Beside him, a young girl stood with her head down, it was the person who led the way for the Bai brothers in the daytime, named Lu'er. The young man's eyes slowly swept around, and he said with a smile: "However, I don't think these four protectors are much better than you." His expression was unpredictable, and he didn't know whether he was praising Lu'er or belittling the four protectors.

Lu'er listened to the young man's words, and her face turned slightly red: "How can the four Dharma protectors be compared to slaves and maids, if the son sees Hua Yue's great protector, he will not say so." ”

"Hua Yue?" Only then did the young man remember that he had only seen three of the four Dharma protectors, so he asked, "Why is Miss Huayue not here?" Lu'er said in a low voice: "Hua Yue's great protector is unwell, so he is resting in the room." The boy nodded, unable to see any obvious emotion. Lu'er didn't say anything more, she bowed, and stepped aside to stand still.

Cen Kexuan looked at Lu'er's petite figure and couldn't help but fall into memory. When she was a child, she had dug a pit somewhere in this courtyard and set a trap, which was not big, about three feet deep, and although it did not fit a person completely, it could really make people fall very hard. She spread soft bamboo strips and dead grass on the ground, and then pulled a large handful of grass to simply decorate, so tossed for a long time, and looked carefully for a long time, looking the same as the side, then finally satisfied, patted the soil on her hands, turned over to sit down under the purple bamboo in the distance. Luo's skirt was covered on her stretched legs, her back leaned back slightly, and she specially folded a weed to hang it on her mouth, closed her eyes and pretended to rest, but her ears were full of energy.

But in half a moment, the sound of light footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer, and the girl who closed her eyes unconsciously snickered at the corners of her mouth. She was sure that Shulan would come from Ning Xin Pavilion today, and she was even more sure that he would come forward and tease when he saw that he was sleeping, and from the path of Ning Xin Pavilion to her location, the trap was the only way to go.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile again, and at the same time silently reminded herself that she must be steady and don't show her stuffing. After being so distracted, she finally calmed down again, but suddenly found that the footsteps that were approaching had stopped for some time, and the embarrassed screams she imagined when Shulan fell into the trap did not reach her ears.

What's wrong? She hesitated, wanting to open her eyes, but she was afraid that all her work would be wasted.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, what are you doing sitting on the ground?" She heard the man's joking voice, gritted her teeth, but still opened her eyes, and saw Shulan standing far away at the trailhead, looking at herself with a smile, with a very curious and concerned expression. Cen Kexuan still didn't give up and wanted to lure him forward, so he pretended to be delicate and turned his head away and ignored it. Sure enough, Shulan didn't leave there, and continued: "Xiao Xuanxuan is angry with me? Cen Kexuan snorted, but still didn't speak.

He didn't mind, suddenly deliberately raised his voice, and began to say to himself: "Today's weather is really good, close your eyes and sleep lazy, it's like a fairy." But it's a pity that Doulan's girl ran to the purple bamboo forest at this time. ”

Doulan went to the Purple Bamboo Forest? She didn't care much, and hurriedly asked, "What is she going to do?" Shulan pretended to be surprised and said, "You don't know? One of her bracelets was missing. Cen Kexuan was stunned. Seeing her puzzled, Shulan explained very kindly: "By the way, it's the one you said you would help her put it away last month." ”

Cen Kexuan was just thinking about it for a while, but after he reminded him like this, he immediately remembered it. Yes, it was three months ago, at the end of the year, the accommodation arrangements of the maids and maids in the palace happened to be a little chaotic and needed to be adjusted slightly, this matter was in charge of Yin Qiu, one of the four protectors, and Dou Lan was also among the adjustments, and moved to a new house with this change. A few years ago, she learned embroidery, originally lived in the embroidery workshop not far from Ningxin Pavilion in the colorful building, slept with the embroidery girls in the palace, went to Ningxin Pavilion to serve during the day, if the lady allowed, she often went to study, before going to sleep at night, she could also grope every day.

In fact, her embroidery skills have already been learned, but the matter of moving the house is a bit cumbersome, and it has been delayed again and again, and when it is time to adjust, Yinqiu simply let her move over and live in a hut in Ningxin Pavilion. Cen Kexuan can't ask for it, since she is a personal girl, of course it is best to live with it. Dou Lan was also happy, but on the way she came over with a silver bracelet, and found Cen Kexuan, with a sad face, saying that this thing was given by her relatives when she was young, and it was extremely important, and she was afraid of losing it on her body, and there were other girls in the room, and if she was taken by mistake, it would be even more troublesome. After thinking about it for a long time, there was really no way, so I had to find the young lady, hoping to help her find a place in the room of Ning Xin Pavilion.

The bracelet shone with a scorching cold light, and it was circled two or three times side by side, about an inch wide, and a blood-red jewel was inlaid in the middle, which was brilliant and colorful, although it was beautiful, it was actually an extremely rough and flamboyant style, very much like the ornaments of a foreign Fanbang woman. This thing has never been worn or even mentioned by Dou Lan, Cen Kexuan showed a puzzled look, and Dou Lan immediately explained that her maternal grandfather seemed to be a merchant from the Western Regions, who took her mother to Luoyang to sell spices and medicinal herbs, and stayed there for a long time before leaving. This bracelet is an ancestral heirloom from his hometown, and after his mother married his father of the Han Chinese, he never followed his grandfather back to his hometown, leaving only this bracelet as a commemoration. Later, when the family suffered an accident, her father and mother both died, and this bracelet became her only thought of her parents.

Of course, Dou Lan is not very sure about these things, after all, when her parents died, she was still young, and her memories of her parents became more and more blurred. When she heard that this life experience was not the same as Cen Kexuan, her heart was immediately full of sympathy and sadness. Didn't his deceased father and mother leave him early, and even his only brother didn't know where he was, whether he was alive or dead. Presumably, in the Purple Cloud Palace, there are not a few orphans like them who have no father or mother, because they have nothing to worry about in the world, they can be loyal to the palace master.

However, she never saw that Doulan, a small and delicate girl, actually had the blood of the people of the Western Regions.

Cen Kexuan and Dou Lan are sisters, how can there be any reason not to agree to this little thing? After responding happily, he put the bracelet and his treasured things in a small wooden box in front of Dou Lan, hid it in the cabinet and locked it, and never touched it for a long time. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday, she heard Shulan talk about the legend of the fairy gods in the purple bamboo forest, and she had a knot in her heart, and wanted to pray for Cen Zifei to return, so she secretly ran to the purple bamboo forest at night to bury a bunch of precious things, and prayed all night, could it be that she took Doulan's bracelet away? Cen Kexuan lowered his head, already anxious.

Shulan continued to say: "So I reminded her that she can go to the purple bamboo forest to look for it, especially in the most dense sacrificial platform, there is an oldest purple bamboo ......" Cen Kexuan heard this, his face changed slightly, and his heart was even colder-Shulan, this bastard, obviously knows everything, why did she forget it, this crazy guy, seems to be idle and useless, but he really knows everything.

She stood up, wanting to move forward, but suddenly remembered her trap, knowing that she had never hidden it from Shulan, and she didn't bother to scruple about it, so she directly used light skills, and with a few taps under her feet, she went straight past him and landed. When the figure passed by, the bamboo leaves shook and rattled, and I heard the strange exclamation of Shulan Yin and Yang in my ears: "Wow, Xiao Xuanxuan is so powerful." She scolded in her heart: This liar who pretends to be crazy and stupid! couldn't help but stop, turned around and scolded "you bastard", then turned his head again and left in a huff.

After finding Dou Lan that day, she immediately dragged her back to Ningxin Pavilion who was still circling in the purple bamboo forest, and finally found the silver bracelet after a while. The things buried in the purple bamboo forest, Cen Kexuan never wanted to change, for fear that the gods would be angry and not manifest their spirits, and she didn't dare to be sloppy about Cen Zifei's affairs. Fortunately, the silver bracelet has not been taken away yet, and it seems that Shulan is just trying to bluff her this time. It's also strange to say, Dou Lan has been reluctant to wear the bracelet a few years ago, but this time for some reason, she suddenly wanted it, and the girl explained that the bracelet was meant to be worn by people, and it would be a pity to hide it. Cen Kexuan nodded, and said in his heart: You didn't say that before.

Although I don't know the reason why she changed her mind, this matter can be regarded as the end of the matter, and she didn't tease Shulan, although Cen Kexuan has regrets in her heart, she also knows that this is not an easy task. The old fox of Shulan, I don't know how old she is, she has already practiced a pair of fiery eyes, she knows everything, if you want to calculate him, it is really difficult to go to the sky, she is still inexperienced, she has never been involved in the world, and she needs to make persistent efforts.

In the long years, it was a fun challenge to fight wits and courage with Shulan, pretending to be crazy and stupid. Of course, this fun is more of a one-sided feeling of Shulan, on the other hand, Cen Kexuan has experienced many failures, but he has become more and more courageous, not to mention the rapid growth of experience, and his psychological endurance has become more and more indestructible. There is certainly a secret to a little girl being able to tirelessly find a way to trick someone she can't play tricks on herself for years, and that is to quickly put her countless defeats behind her.

This time is no exception, a hasty start, but if you can't get your wish, you forget to finish. A few days later, he heard that someone in the palace had fallen into the trap, and Cen Kexuan remembered the sin he had created, but he was secretly amused in his heart, and he didn't know which unlucky guy had suffered this loss. Counting and counting, I secretly guessed countless people, but I still didn't have a clue, and afterwards I learned through Doulan's message that the poor person who suffered was actually a girl outside the hall. The little girl with crooked eyes and a clever smile.

Dharma Protector Yinqiu also learned about this, presumably knowing the ins and outs, and did not say much, but just called someone to take soil to fill the pit, but for a long time, it was a simple matter, but Cen Kexuan has always been quite sorry for Lu'er. Of course, that little girl still doesn't know whose loss she suffered back then, since it was Cen Kexuan's doing, Yin Qiu didn't let her be investigated, so she naturally couldn't ask more. In the past few years, the ground has been paved with thick bluestone slabs, and the stones are sewn very tightly, and Cen Kexuan stepped on it, which was already a real sense of fullness, without any emptiness. The bright moon is still the same, but the little girl is already graceful.

At this moment, it was Dou Lan who was pouring wine for the young man, she was very active tonight, and when she saw Lu'er retreating to the side, she immediately seized this gap and stepped forward to pour wine for the young man. The slender little hand gently lifted the flask and poured it, but the eyes were looking away, and the movements of the hands became more and more sluggish. Suddenly, a very displeased voice came to my ear: "The wine is full." Dou Lan was startled, and quickly came back to her senses, only to find that the wine glass in front of her had been filled, and the wine was swaying in the glass, sparkling, and almost overflowing.

The young man's face had turned a little darker, and he looked at her coldly. Her face was flushed, her ears were hot, and she said hesitantly, "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. The young man snorted and didn't pay attention to her, but Bai Moyin, who was next to him, heard the movement beside him and turned his head slightly. Dou Lan was already in a state of confusion, seeing that the young man didn't want to pay more attention to himself, he hurriedly bowed and retreated, lowered his head and walked back quickly behind Cen Kexuan, standing up like a stone sculpture, his lowered eyes were still a little panicked.

Cen Kexuan had been watching them since he was seated, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. But after a while, seeing that Dou Lan hurried back without saying a word, her face was aggrieved, and she couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" Dou Lan shook her head and didn't speak. After being silent for a while, she suddenly came over again for some reason, and whispered into Cen Kexuan's ear: "That young man is the third son of the Bai family, Bai Jingfeng. Cen Kexuan nodded suddenly, looked at him carefully, and commented slowly: "Bai Sangongzi is worthy of being from a famous family, although he doesn't look as calm and introverted as Mo Yingongzi, he has a sense of nobility that others don't have. There is no shortage of praise in the words.

Dou Lan snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "What kind of extravagance, to say that it is better to call him a third son, he is just a womanizer in his bones." Cen Kexuan looked at her in surprise and said, "Why did he provoke you again?" Dou Lan said: "Just now I poured wine on the opposite side, I heard him first teasing Xiao Lu, and then vainly wanted to see Hua Yue's great protector, who knows what kind of heart he has?" Cen Kexuan frowned: "He wants to see Sister Hua Yue?" Have they not seen it today? Dou Lan said strangely: "Hua Yue's protector has always been ill and has never shown up." ”

After hearing this, Cen Kexuan lowered his head and fell silent. When they met in the corridor during the day, Hua Yue clearly told her that she was going to pick up the guests of Yujing Villa, and that anxious appearance that could not be concealed naturally would not be pretended, could it be for something else? But why did she lie? What could make Hua Yue, who is usually as cold as ice, so moved? After thinking about it again and again, he still couldn't understand it, so he had to give up, sighed, and said to Dou Lan: "The three sons of the Bai family, this time they just picked me up and came to the two, will it be too exciting?" ”

She looked thoughtfully at the person opposite, and always felt that something was not as simple as it seemed, but it was only vaguely this feeling, and she couldn't say one or two.

Dou Lan didn't respond, Cen Kexuan turned his head suspiciously, only to find that although Dou Lan was standing behind her, her eyes were looking in the direction of Bai Moyin and she was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking. She shook her head helplessly, and said in her heart: I casually said that this little girl had fallen in love with someone, but it seemed that she was really right, and then reached out and poked Dou Lan's forehead, Dou Lan came to her senses for a moment, retracted her gaze and said blankly: "Miss, what did you say?" Cen Kexuan said angrily with a straight face: "What about asking you." Dou Lan hurriedly blinked her eyes and smiled: "Then you ask again, I just ...... I didn't hear it clearly. Cen Kexuan sighed, then looked at Bai Jingfeng and said quietly: "I don't think this Bai Jingfeng and Bai Moyin look very similar, no matter how you look at it, I don't think they are like brothers, what do you say?" ”

Although Bai Jingfeng's appearance is also excellent, compared with Bai Moyin, there is no obvious similarity between the contours and eyebrows, and the temperament is completely different, and it is impossible to see that they are brothers connected by blood.

Dou Lan smiled: "They are originally half-brothers, so naturally they won't be too similar." Cen Kexuan exclaimed: "What about Bai Yufeng?" After finishing speaking, she realized that her voice was a little louder, but fortunately, no one noticed her exclamation at the sound of string music in the courtyard at this moment, so she breathed a sigh of relief and secretly reminded herself to pay more attention. For the person she is going to marry in the future, she really can't treat it calmly.

Dou Lan was obviously more cautious than her, looked around, and then leaned close to her ear and whispered: "The current owner of the village, that is, the future husband of the young lady, Bai Yufeng and Bai Zhuang, and the third son in front of him, Bai Jingfeng, were born to the same mother, that is Mrs. Tan Wan'er. And Mo Yin's son, ......" Speaking of this, Dou Lan lowered his voice again and said: "He was born to Bai Lao Zhuangzi's concubine, and he is the second son, so he didn't get the position of the owner of the village." There was some indignation in the words.

Cen Kexuan nodded knowingly, his heart is also fair, since this Bai Moyin is already so outstanding, why not let his background be inferior? If all the benefits were taken by him, would not his two brothers have lived in vain? Just as she was about to say this, she suddenly noticed the word "concubine" in Doulan's words.

Cen Kexuan repeated slowly: "You say...... Concubines? Dou Lan was puzzled: "What's wrong?" Cen Kexuan thought for a while and said, "Anyway, the matter of marrying Bai Yufeng has already been decided, right?" Dou Lan nodded, still puzzled. So......" she frowned, and suddenly thought of something, "Did you say that Bai Yufeng has already married a wife and taken a concubine?" "Since his father can have a wife and a concubine, it is not impossible for a son to follow suit, will he marry in the future, will he serve a husband with others? If so, what kind of woman would it be?

Dou Lan snorted and laughed: "Miss was worried about this. Immediately comforted her and said: "Miss is the palace master's righteous sister, with Miss's identity, how can he let Miss be a concubine?" Cen Kexuan shook his head: "Whether it's a wife or a concubine, I'm asking you if he has ever had a white-headed appointment with other women?" Although she did not sincerely want to marry him, wouldn't it be a heinous sin to ruin another woman's love?

"Well...... Dou Lan thought about it and said thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, he really had a marriage contract." Cen Kexuan exclaimed: "What? "There really is. Dou Lan explained: "It is rumored that Bai Yufeng has a childhood sweetheart, named Yang Keer, who is the righteous daughter adopted by Yang Tianming, the elder of Yujing Villa. On the birthday of the owner of Bai Zhuang three years ago, he had already ordered a kiss for the two in front of the people of the world......" Speaking of this, Dou Lan stopped for some reason. Cen Ke preached: "What happened later? Dou Lan paused when she heard this, and her face suddenly became emotional: "Later, ......" Cen Kexuan hurriedly asked: "What happened later?" Dou Lan pursed her mouth and sighed: "Yang Ke'er is dead." ”

This answer shocked Cen Kexuan, she thought it was just a love story with a beginning and no end, but she didn't know that the other party had passed away early, and it was expected that the entanglements and twists and turns might not be as simple as it seemed, she was already quite curious about everything in the outside world, Bai Yufeng was the person she was about to marry, and it was necessary to know some of the past, so she immediately became interested and asked curiously: "How did you die?" Dou Lan said: "It was said that he committed suicide, and he committed suicide by jumping off the cliff on the edge of the cliff of Fushan." ”

There is no return to the cliff, there is no return, there is death and no life, and it is said that the sinners of the past dynasties of Yujing Villa are all thrown into the cliff here to show punishment. Cen Kexuan was surprised: "Suicide? Dou Lan nodded heavily, and chirped: "It is said that she went to see Mo Yin Gongzi alone on the eve of her suicide, I think, it must be because Mo Yin's son is handsome and extraordinary, she is moved in her heart, but she is unwilling to betray her husband who has a marriage contract with her, so after showing her heart to Mo Yingongzi, she decided to apologize with death." Cen Kexuan frowned: "Didn't you still say that she and Bai Yufeng are in love, childhood sweethearts?" Dou Lan said as a matter of course: "That's why she wants to die to apologize to him." "It's not impossible to be a place of apology.

Cen Kexuan didn't want to believe it, how could such a deep relationship not withstand such a test? She thought that Dou Lan was guessing wildly, and I was afraid that only the parties concerned could know the inside story, so she stopped and didn't ask again, but looked at Dou Lan with some amusement and asked her, "Where did you hear so much?" The corners of Dou Lan's mouth curled, and she smiled proudly: "I know a lot of things." ”

Cen Kexuan wanted to frustrate her spirit, so he made up his mind to ignore this girl for the time being, and let her go to her own samulate. At present, it is a sure thing to marry Yujing Villa, since you can't hide, it is better to observe a little and consider carefully, so you can be prepared. Thinking about this, she finally gathered her mind and calmed down to listen to their conversation.

Murong Qi was wearing a purple robe today, green silk like satin, a white hosta on his head, a cyan ribbon tied around his waist, and a piece of turquoise double dragon jade pendant, with a lazy atmosphere all over his body. He was holding the wine cup at the moment, and said with a smile: "In the past, this seat went north to Fushan, and I once sighed that Yujing Villa may have no successor, but I didn't expect that in just ten years, there will be a character like Mo Yingongzi, which is really gratifying." His tone was quite nostalgic, as if he really had a deep friendship with Yujing Villa.

Cen Kexuan was confused when he heard it, could it be that the palace master really had any relationship with Yujing Villa? If there is an old friend, why sneak her to steal the treasure of Yujing Villa? However, she rarely heard the palace master praise others so directly, and she couldn't help but want to look at each other twice. It's a pity that a few bamboo sticks sticking out of her side obscured her vision, and the graceful posture of those dancing girls blocked the middle, she had no choice but to see the expression on his face clearly, and could only vaguely hear him say calmly: "The palace master has won the award, Mo Yin has been away from home all the year round, it is extremely unfilial, and he has not solved half of the family's worries in recent years. Even now, Yujing Villa has its own brother in charge of the overall situation. ”

Cen Kexuan secretly exclaimed: Although this Bai Moyin is known as a legendary figure in the rivers and lakes, and even has the title of the first in the world, in front of the palace master, he still regards himself as a junior, and when he talks about family affairs, his tone does not sound arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be such a watertight character, thinking of the cold and lonely face in the daytime, I thought that this person was quite indifferent and difficult to approach.

This reminds us that it is a great pity to hear that the owner of the old Bai Village passed away a few months ago. Speaking of which, this seat and he are still old acquaintances, and now they haven't set foot in Yujing Villa for more than ten years, and a few days ago they were thinking that it was time to visit, but they didn't expect to ......" Murong Qi suddenly shook his head regretfully: "Is it fate that makes people, what do you say, Bai Gongzi?" ”

Bai Moyin didn't respond to Murong Qi's words, was silent for a moment, and said, "Actually, his old man also mentioned the palace master ...... before his death."

"Oh?" Murong Qi raised his eyebrows: "I don't know how the old owner of the white village said it?" ”

Bai Moyin glanced at Murong Qi and said: "Before his death, he said that he owed the most to the two people in his life, and he had been unable to let go of it for many years, but the deceased was gone, even if he wanted to make amends, he was powerless after all. His eyes were flat as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Presumably the palace master should understand that Yujing Villa is not what it used to be, and some things, being too persistent may not be a good thing." ”

Murong Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sadly, and said in a low voice as if talking to himself: "What's the use of saying this now?" After a pause, he added: "Over the years, I have always wanted to have the opportunity to go to Yujing Villa, but after thinking about it, since the old man is not here, it is not a matter of time to go. He glanced at Cen Kexuan as he spoke, and suddenly laughed: "But if you can announce the wedding, this seat will definitely go at that time." Ke Xuan is the most beloved sister of this seat, and Yujing Villa has a deep relationship with my Ziyun Palace, this marriage is an excellent happy event, and now the two sons of the Bai family are going south in person, so sincere, this seat is finally at ease. I believe that with Mo Yin's son here, Kexuan will definitely get the best care along the way. ”

Everyone's eyes moved to Cen Kexuan the moment this passage appeared, and her body, which was not very relaxed, instantly stiffened, and she only felt that her every move was particularly conspicuous. Bai Moyin said: "This Murong Palace Lord can rest assured, since he personally went south, he would not let her be wronged." Then, he raised his voice slightly, "From today on, whoever wants to embarrass Miss Cen will not be able to get along with me Bai Moyin." The moonlight fell on his white clothes, as bright as a veil, but his eyes did not fall on Cen Kexuan for a moment, and his calm eyes looked directly at Murong Qi.

Cen Kexuan was a little unclear, but he was inexplicably nervous by this inexplicable atmosphere. Murong Qi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said quietly: "In this way, I can ask Gongzi to please." After speaking, he looked at Cen Kexuan: "Kexuan, if you don't come here to pour wine for Bai Gongzi, go to Yujing Villa, you have to rely on him a lot along the way." ”

Cen Kexuan suddenly heard the palace master mention himself, his fingers trembled slightly, and he glanced at Bai Moyin in a panic, only then did he hide his heartbeat, and lowered his eyebrows and responded: "Yes." ”

Even though he had prepared for this moment thousands of times in his heart, Cen Kexuan, who had never seen a few outsiders, still couldn't control his inexplicable flustered emotions. She picked up her wine glass and got up to step forward, seeing that Bai Moyin's gaze had shifted to herself with Murong Qi's words, and the night breeze was blowing his sleeves and long hair, with an indescribable aura on such a night. Cen Kexuan tried hard to suppress his wildly beating heart, but in just a few steps, he was like walking on thin ice, and he was inexplicably uncomfortable.

didn't dare to look up at him, only lowered his head and poured wine for him, and didn't hear the other party speak, Cen Kexuan was quite embarrassed, so he had to take the initiative to say first: "Kexuan is here to toast Bai Gongzi for a glass, this time it is a long way to go to Yujing Villa, and Kexuan has never left Ziyun Palace, if there is anything wrong in the future, I hope Bai Gongzi will understand and forgive me." ”

The voice landed, but the other party still did not respond. Cen Kexuan was apprehensive in her heart, raised her eyes slightly, and saw that Bai Moyin was staring at herself a little distracted for some reason, which made her cheeks heat up for a moment, and the next second, she suddenly felt bad. Could it be...... Suddenly remembering the scene of meeting in the daytime, she suddenly realized in an instant, her heart suddenly pounded violently, her face was red, and she only hoped that a headscarf could cover her whole head, so as not to be recognized by the other party.

Probably seeing her cramped and uneasy, Bai Moyin finally came back to his senses and showed a fleeting smile, fortunately he didn't mention the matter of Bai Ri, maybe he didn't recognize it, and maybe he didn't want to embarrass Cen Kexuan, so he just read her name thoughtfully and said, "Miss Cen? ”

Cen Kexuan replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

Bai Moyin said again: "I heard that the Purple Cloud Palace Lord, who had withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for a long time, personally went out of the palace and brought back a girl who was recognized as a righteous sister, but girl, you? ”

Cen Kexuan didn't know what he meant, but still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Bai Moyin said again: "I don't know where the girl came from? ”

Cen Kexuan was a little hesitant, he didn't want to lie, thinking about the changes in his family, and he felt that he shouldn't tell the other party the truth, so he said with low eyes: "Kexuan is from Jiangnan." ”

Bai Moyin was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "Has the girl ever seen me?" His voice was soft, like a gust of wind, but with demagogic power.

Cen Kexuan raised his head in panic when he heard this, and met his eyes in an instant, the same as what he saw from a distance in the daytime, dark, deep, empty, a pair of eyes that were difficult to read, but they seemed to have a slightly different mood. She didn't understand, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye anymore, so she just shook her head lightly and said no more.

The other party sighed lightly and said, "If Miss Cen believes it, there is no need to be so restrained, even if she arrives at Yujing Villa in the future, no one will dare to deliberately embarrass the girl." ”

Cen Kexuan looked at him stunned again, his head was empty, and his heart was inexplicably empty. Bai Moyin said: "The girl doesn't believe me? Cen Ke preached: "What if someone is determined to embarrass me? ”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Jingfeng next to him sneered slightly, others may not hear it, but Cen Kexuan heard it clearly, the young man was a little obvious to her, but Cen Kexuan was not distracted by this at all, she only looked at the person in front of her in a daze, expecting the other party's answer.

Bai Moyin did not hesitate, bowed slightly, and said, "I will definitely protect the girl in the future." ”

Cen Kexuan's tense nerves instantly relaxed a lot, and he still muttered with some uncertainty: "Is this true?" ”

I don't know why, after hearing this, Bai Moyin suddenly laughed, smiling very restrainedly, but there was still a little warmth in his dark eyes, this was the first time Cen Kexuan had seen him smile like this, although he didn't know why he was smiling, but the indifferent aura that had lingered on him dissipated a lot in an instant, which at least made Cen Kexuan a little less nervous.

He didn't explain why he was laughing, but picked up his glass and said slowly, "It's time to do it first." ”

Cen Kexuan was in a trance, feeling that at that moment, she seemed to have some kind of contract or bond with him, and this feeling made a hot current in her chest run wantonly, so she simply bent her eyes and nodded with a smile: "Thank you Childe, Childe's kindness today, Kexuan also remembers." ”

This wine is a fine wine that was just transported into the Ziyun Palace a few days ago, it is said to be a grape wine produced in the Western Regions, although Cen Kexuan doesn't know how to taste wine, but he also knows that this is a rare good wine, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he suddenly felt a slight heat on his face, sweet and sour in his mouth, just like her indescribable state of mind at the moment. The two didn't say much more, and after drinking a glass of wine, she immediately returned to her seat in a panic, and then the palace master talked to Mo Yingongzi about the wine, all polite words. and the third son named Bai Jingfeng also had words, and even looked her up and down unabashedly from time to time, thinking that he was originally a little curious about her, but after seeing the real person, he felt that there was a big gap with his imagination, and his eyes showed unconcealed disappointment.

As for what they said, because Doulan had been chattering in her ears all the time, and she was absent-minded, she didn't hear it clearly.

It was her most attentive and casual day. When she returned to her seat, everything in the courtyard jumped out of her sight, wandering away from nowhere, in a trance, and she only remembered the pair of eyes that looked at her just now, which were as dark as a deep pool, deep and unfathomable.

Maybe it's really a little drunk, or maybe it's that people are drunk if they don't get drunk, in short, her heart is really a little messy.
