Chapter 004: Bai Xuan
When the first rays of sunlight poured into the room through the window, Mo Qianzi knew that the snow had finally stopped. Stretching a lazy waist, he got up from the bed with some reluctance.
Pushing open the wooden lattice window covered with tissue paper, you will still be greeted by the beautiful plum forest. It's just that today's Merlin seems to be missing something, and it seems extraordinarily quiet. Perhaps because the snow stopped, there was no sound of wind and snow whistling.
turned around, sat in front of the rhombic bronze mirror, and looked at himself in the mirror. By the way, she is now Bai Zhi, not Mo Qianzi. There is a sunny and warm Ji Xiaoyao by her side!
Today's Merlin is not only missing the howling of the wind and snow, but also the figure of Ji Xiaoyao!
In the past few days, she has become accustomed to his presence. Every morning, she wakes up to the sound of his flute. Pushing open the window, you can see his long and standing figure. When he saw her wake up, he would give her a nice and warm smile, and then said softly: Zhi'er, it's time for breakfast.
Brother Haruka......
Mo Qianzi's heart gave birth to a trace of inexplicable nervousness, as if her dream was about to wake up, and she wanted to try to catch it again.
She walked quickly to the kitchen, maybe Ji Xiaoyao was preparing breakfast at the moment, he didn't play the flute, nor did he dance the sword.
In the simple kitchen, it was empty, and there was no Ji Xiaoyao. There was a pot of sweet porridge on the wooden table, and a letter was left next to it.
"Zhi'er, my father has sent an urgent order, I need to go back immediately. Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up. You don't have to worry, the snow has stopped outside, Brother Xuan will bring someone to pick you up! If breakfast is cold, warm it up and eat it! ”
Putting down the letter, Mo Qianzi had a hint of amusement about the nervousness she had just had. Ji Xiaoyao just went back early, is it necessary for her to be so nervous? She has only been with him for a few days, and she can't let go of it?
The sweet porridge is still steaming, lingering with the light fragrance of plums. Scoop a spoonful and put it in your mouth, it is sweet and refreshing. Like her, this Angelica dahurica also likes to eat sweets. So Ji Xiaoyao's meals are also what she loves to eat.
"Second sister, second sister ......"
Mo Qianzi was eating sweet porridge, and there was a cheering sound outside. In an instant, the boy in a wolf-mink cloak was already sitting across from her.
The boy looks like he is no more than ten years old, with jade-faced starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, and looks like a good fortune boy on the New Year's painting!
He looked at the sweet porridge in Mo Qianzi's bowl with a pair of shining eyes, and grinned: "Second sister is drinking the plum blossom soup made by Ji Xiaoyao again, don't you feel tired after drinking it for so many years?" Ji Xiaoyao is also really, knowing that I am coming, I will not do anything else. As he spoke, he picked up the spoon and poured it into his mouth.
Mo Qianzi grabbed the rice spoon in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "If you don't like it, don't eat it!" ”
"Second sister, isn't it too cold outside? Brother Xuan just wants to warm up his body, you see I am covered in ice particles all over my body, and I am about to freeze to death! He laughed and snatched the rice spoon and drank violently.
He called himself "Brother Xuan" and called her "Second Sister", which should be Bai Zhi's younger brother. It turned out that Bai Zhi's younger brother was not called Fu You, but Bai Xuan, and he was such a cute child.
Getting up, she brushed the ice particles off his head and clothes for him, and then moved the stove next to him: "I know it's freezing, and I still run so early." Wait until the midday sun is a little warmer, and then come back! Come to the stove and bake! ”
"You know that you don't take me with you when you go out hunting. If it weren't for this heavy snowfall, I would have dumped that nagging and annoying Taifu and chased after me! However, you won't have much to gain from this hunt! Trapped in this plum garden, drink this every day! As if disgusted, he put down the spoon in his hand and squatted beside the stove, a pair of red little hands on the fire and roasted back and forth.
"Who says there's no gain?" Mo Qianzi handed him half a roast chicken and chuckled, "Roast it again on the stove, it's very fragrant!" ”
"I guess this was fought before the snow! But it's still fresh and roasted! Bai Xuan said in the tone of a little adult, tore off a piece of mountain chicken that had been roasted again and put it in his mouth, and ate it with relish. Half a pheasant was soon eaten by him. Wipe the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his hand, look around, and suddenly remember: "Eh, where is Ji Xiaoyao?" I've been here for a while, and I haven't seen him? ”
"He went back early in the morning, don't you know? He also said you'd come and pick me up! ”
Reaching out and handing the letter to Bai Xuan, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. Bai Xuan read the letter, but smiled happily: "This season Xiaoyao knows that as soon as the heavy snow stops, I will come!" And as long as I come, there will inevitably be a few nasty followers in the back......"
Before Bai Xuan's words were finished, an agile man in the costume of a guard had already flashed in. He knelt on the ground respectfully, and his voice was loud: "Wuyang see His Royal Highness the Prince, see the second princess!" ”
Prince, princess?
Mo Qianzi had been guessing Bai Zhi's identity, but the scene at this moment still surprised her extremely much. She only thought that Ji Xiaoyao's identity was definitely not ordinary, but she never thought that Bai Zhi would be the princess of Anqi Kingdom, and the little boy next to her was the prince of Anqi Kingdom.
In this way, if Long Xuanyuan really destroyed the Anqi Kingdom, he would be the enemy of Bai Zhi for the country. It should be Bai Zhi killing Long Xuanyuan, not Long Xuanyuan rewarding Bai Zhi's head.
Looking up at the outside of the room, Merlin was guarded by a few more guards.
"Wu Yang, you nasty ghost, who let you come with you without the permission of Prince Ben!" Bai Xuan jumped up all of a sudden, and kicked Wu Yang's body with one kick. Every time I know that he will follow, every time I still inevitably lose my temper, after all, it is still a child's heart.
Wu Yang still knelt respectfully: "It is Wu Yang's duty to protect His Royal Highness the Prince, and this time Ji Gongzi also has a special order, asking Wu Yang to ensure the safety of the two Royal Highnesses!" ”
The "Ji Gongzi" in his mouth is naturally Ji Xiaoyao. It's just that why did Ji Xiaoyao specifically instruct, could something really happen?
"The Ji clan has existed for generations to protect Anqi, and General Ji is our Anqi's protector general. Ji Xiaoyao is the only son of General Ji and should inherit the family mission. But he still doesn't want to worship the marquis, and he only knows to revolve around the second sister all day long. Second sister, in Ji Xiaoyao's eyes, the whole Anqi is not as important as you! Bai Xuan said unhurriedly, obviously joking, "In that case, he should take you back with him to save trouble!" ”
"Brother Xuan!" Mo Qianzi had already faintly felt something, she pulled Bai Xuan away and asked the doubts in her heart, "Wuyang, what happened?" ”
Wu Yang glanced at Bai Xuan next to him, and then took out a portrait of an animal skin from his arms and handed it to her.
"Back to the princess, although it has snowed heavily in the past few days, there has been a stream of displaced people fleeing into the territory of Anqi country. At first, I thought it was a fugitive from another war-torn country, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, it turned out that they seemed to be looking for someone, and they stumbled upon this animal skin portrait. Judging from the portrait, they should be looking for you, the princess! ”
Mo Qianzi's hands holding the portrait of the animal skin trembled slightly, and the palms of her palms were already overflowing with a trace of cold sweat, and the person painted on the animal skin was really her!
Bai Xuan snatched the portrait from her hand and said indignantly: "Who is so bold that he dares to peep at the princess of Anqi." Let this prince catch him, he will definitely kill him! ”
"Wuyang, Brother Yao also saw this portrait, right?"
"Yes, princess! Ji Gongzi seemed to be very angry, and specially instructed his subordinates to ensure your safety! Childe also said that the two highnesses could stay in Meiyuan for a while longer, because those people didn't know about Meiyuan's existence, and it was impossible to find it here. ”
Ji Xiaoyao looked at this portrait and must have known that the person looking for her was Long Xuanyuan of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom. Long Xuanyuan was ambitious and wanted to dominate the world. If he thinks that she is Anqi and can't find her in Anzi, it may endanger Anqi's survival!
An Qi will be destroyed by Yunlong, is it because of her?
What should she do? Watching everything happen as it was written in that book, one by one, and I don't care about anything? watched An Qi perish, watched Ji Xiaoyao become the master of the Xiaoyao Palace, watched Bai Xuan become Fu You, and Bai Zhi ......
No, she will never do what is written in the book! Now that she knows what's going to happen, why not stop it? She wants to change what is written in the book, she wants to make Anqi Kingdom exist forever, and let Ji Xiaoyao always be the current Ji Xiaoyao!
"Wuyang, you take the prince back to the palace, I'll be here alone! As long as I don't go out, I'll be safe! "She wanted to break them apart.
"Although I know that the second sister likes to be quiet, I am used to staying alone. But at this time, how could Brother Xuan abandon the safety of his second sister? I will definitely stay to protect the second sister! Bai Xuan patted his chest and swore an oath.
Mo Qianzi raised her hand and rubbed Bai Xuan's face, chuckling: "Heh, do I need protection here?" It's just that the weather has just cleared, and you have to be stuck in this plum garden all the time, and you can't go out to play and hunt, okay? ”
"Why can't you hunt? I'll hunt during the day and come back at night to accompany you! ”
"When you go in and out of the cave every day, you are not afraid of being discovered? You're here, and it's only going to make me more dangerous! ”
Bai Xuan bowed his head and was silent. His lively and active personality couldn't stay, and he just found a reason for Mo Qianzi to let them leave.
Wu Yang on the side really listened.
"The princess is right! As long as the princess stays in the plum garden and doesn't go out, everything will be safe! We came with enough food and supplies, and the princess could eat and wear the same food and clothing here as she did in the palace! Just in order not to leak this plum garden, I brought these secret guards, and I didn't bring the grandmothers and maids to take care of! ”
"I'm used to it alone, I don't need someone to take care of it! Wuyang, you can take the prince back to the palace now. Tell Brother Haruka that I will always wait for him to pick me up before I leave Meiyuan! ”
Wu Yang also wanted to leave two guards, but she refused on the grounds that it was inconvenient. Only when they all leave will it be convenient for her to carry out her plan.
Looking at the few people who were finally persuaded by herself, she instructed again: "If you meet those who are looking for me, you will say that you have seen them in Luosheng, and let them go to Luosheng to look for them." But do it naturally and not arouse suspicion! ”
"The subordinates understand what the princess means!" Wu Yang responded respectfully, and then escorted Bai Xuan to get on the horse and leave.
