Loulan is located in the northern desert border, in the wind and sand desert all the year round, the resources are extremely scarce, the people here are the descendants of the people of Middle-earth who escaped war a thousand years ago, and they have heard about everything beautiful there.

Therefore, they yearn for Middle-earth more than the few tribes of the Jedi Northern Desert, and yearn for the day when they can return to their ancestral land, away from the blade-like winds of this desert.

However, Ye Xiaoshi, as Miss Houfu, didn't even dare to think about this most ordinary hope, because it was just an extravagant hope for her. She didn't know what freedom was, and the servants had at least one deed of sale.

She was supposed to be a noble princely and noble daughter. But because of the snow flying in July when she was born, the fortune teller's sentence "the reincarnation of evil spirits" made her bear the cold eyes that she should not have carried and the disgust of everyone around her. In July of another year, the scorching wind blew from the edge of the Jedi Northern Desert, passing through more than a hundred minority tribal territories, blowing the small territory of the Loulan Kingdom in the wind and sand and heat.

The wind swept mercilessly through a remote courtyard in the mansion.

"I want to run, dream!" The girl whispered, and jumped towards the north side of the courtyard, which was almost as high as a high wall, and when she fell again, she saw a mournful kingfisher in her hand.

She threw the last kingfisher into an iron cage on a wooden frame and tied the wedge. Looking at the weather, the practice of this light body exercise can only go so far today.

The girl raised her sleeve to wipe her sweat, the sweat stains were with a little sand grains, and it hurt a little to rub her forehead.

She wore the usual coarse cloth clothes, the sleeves were rolled up, revealing her thin arms, and there were faint whip marks on her wrists, and the corners of her skirt were tucked into her belt, which was a bit casual. He looks like he is about fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, with a smile in his clear eyes, and shallow dimples on the corners of his lips.

"If you practice diligently for another month, you can stand in the main hall of the family martial arts hall. I will take the lead and make those who look down on me regret what they have done to me. The girl clenched her fists, her name is Ye Xiaoshi, she is the second daughter of Kou Hu, Marshal of King Kong of Loulan Kingdom, born in a wealthy family, but even three meals a day, clothes, shoes and socks have to be calculated by themselves, when she is young and ignorant, I don't know how much hunger she suffers, and how many cold nights she hides in the corner alone to endure the biting cold.

She finally struggled to grow up. In the guarded and strange eyes of others, I slowly learned to entertain myself and slowly learned what it means to be strong.

Others were expecting her to die, but she wanted to live.

Others look at her to live like a dog, resentful like a ghost, she prefers to straighten her back, live a chic and happy life, the experience of the previous ten years has taught her that there is no need to be sad for those who are irrelevant, because it is not worth it at all.

Ye Xiaoshi raised her thin chin and looked at the sun covered by yellow sand: "My life will never be spent in this courtyard. ”

"From the desert in the north, to Zhanbuzhou in the south, and then to Luzhou in the west, there must be a place that can accommodate my Ye Xiaoshi."

In the yellow sand swept by the wind, she straightened her thin back, and secretly made up her mind that the good years of this life would never be wasted, and this cage that had imprisoned her for more than ten years would never be able to imprison her life.

After the end of this martial arts hall, she will flee from here and go to the Tang Dynasty, which is said to have countless delicacies and wines, and where immortals once stepped on colorful auspicious clouds.

She held up the paper crane she folded last night, which was full of her yearning for a better life and her complaints about all kinds of suffering, and gently sent it into the wind that rolled the yellow sand, watching it fly farther and farther with the wind.

It's a way for her to relieve stress and vent her resentment.

"One day, I will be like a paper crane, flying to the widest sky with the wind."

It wasn't until after a few breaths that she withdrew her gaze, took out a knife from her bosom, walked to the wooden pillar of the kingfisher's iron cage, and carved the notch, which was the ninety-ninth paper crane she had placed. She always chooses a day when the wind is strongest, and when the wind is strongest, and it is not easy to be detected.

The scorching wind blew stronger and stronger, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, as if it was about to compare with the sun.

"Looks like it's going to be a sandstorm again."

Ye Xiaoshi took a canvas to fix the iron cage holding the kingfisher firmly, and was about to take refuge in the hut.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital, as if someone had stumbled in.

Her eyes flickered, and she reached out and kicked down the pile of firewood next to her, then crouched down to pick up the scattered firewood.

"Aunt Wang, the yellow sand is so big, it will be fascinating, you better go back to the house to rest, I can do it here." Her eyebrows were full of obedience, and she smiled when she didn't speak.

This woman known as Aunt Wang, the makeup on her face is extremely thick, she is a little older, but she still has some charm, she stepped forward and hurriedly pulled Ye Xiaoshi's arm: "Oh, my second miss, don't hurt your thin skin and tender flesh, let alone call Aunt Wang, I can't afford to be a slave." She had a smile on her face and looked genuine.

Ye Xiaoshi's heart suddenly became vigilant.

This Aunt Wang is the wife of the housekeeper in the house, and she is the most powerful, snarky, and takes advantage of it.

Most of the money her father allocated to her was deducted by her.

"What are you talking about, Aunt Wang, all these years, if you didn't take care of me, Aunt Wang, how could I live to this day." Ye Xiaoshi straightened up with the woman: "By the way, Aunt Wang, are my sister and father back?" ”

The woman affectionately pulled her into the house, and said: "The master and the eldest lady have just entered the house, and the feet of this sandstorm have only arrived, so they have avoided a hard work, I think, it is the blessing of the second lady." ”

Ye Xiaoshi was not afraid of this woman's difficulties, she was not afraid of her bad words, and she was not even afraid of the whip, but this woman's words made her a little flustered.

It's so weird, it's so unusual.

"I am an ominous person, how dare I call it a blessing. If Aunt Wang has anything to do with Xiao Shi, despite the order, Xiao Shi will not hesitate to go to the soup. Ye Xiaoshi tested the woman's tone.

The woman did not dare to say anything, and after all her questioning, the woman finally revealed to her a shocking news.

She...... was married by the emperor.

The thunderbolt is nothing more than that.

Calm and rational like her, she couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.

She will marry into the court and become the imperial concubine.

This is the position that many women dream of, once they fly on the branches, they will become a phoenix, with power in one hand and prosperity in the other.

However, Ye Xiaoshi never thought about such a life, nor did she hope for it.

The only thing she wants is to be as free as the wind and to be in control of her own direction.

Her future husband...... It is the eldest prince of Loulan Kingdom, the crazy prince who mistakenly walked into the secret realm of the ancient mound when he was six years old, and became a stupid mad prince when he came out.

A good year, cardamom and onions.

What girl is willing to bury a lifetime of happiness and marry a stupid nerd who never understands love.

Is my father really so ruthless?

Yes, he didn't even care about her life or death, and he once regarded her as his blood.

The emperor's marriage this time is probably just a political compromise, and she ...... became a victim of this political struggle.

Facing the yellow sand and strong wind, Ye Xiaoshi went to the front house.

Her hand hiding in her sleeve tightly pinched a delicate and small jade comb, this jade comb was a relic left to her by her mother, and there was a jade lock around her neck, which her mother put on her hand before she died, and it was her most cherished thing.

In her heart, there is still a tiny flame burning, hoping that these two things can evoke some tender memories of her father and mother, and remember that she also has the blood of the Ye family in her body.

Former Mansion Hall.

The richly dressed sister looked up at her with her noble head and looked down on her condescendingly: "Presumptuous." Father finally asked for such a good marriage for you, how many women are looking forward to it, but you don't know what to do, and it is really hateful to take such old things and hide evil intentions. ”

The horsewhip rolled up the jade comb and threw it fiercely towards the ground.

Ye Xiaoshi looked at the tall and handsome man next to her sister, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Father......"

With a "snap", the jade comb broke into two, and several jade teeth shattered.

This god of war in Loulan Kingdom, the man who controls two-thirds of the country's army, looked at her in the audience with an indifferent face, not like looking at his daughter, but like looking at something hateful.

The jade comb was broken, and her heart was smashed at the same time.

She is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, a child who longs for her father's love and wants to be recognized.

Now she feels so naïve, and she actually expects two people who want her to die early to have even a little affection for her.

Feeling the warmth around her neck, she slowly regained some strength, straightened her waist, and looked coldly at the two people on the stage: "Sister, since you said that this is a good marriage, why don't you marry?" ”

"Dare to talk back?" Ye Jiayi...... Ye Xiaoshi's half-sister, phoenix eyes glared, sneered and raised the horsewhip, as in the past, the whip was whipped towards Ye Xiaoshi's face, this face that made her jealous and grew more and more beautiful.

At this moment, in the sky above the capital of Loulan Kingdom, a black-clothed monk of Edgeworth walked through the storm, his body emitted a faint light, and the sandstorm could not get close to him at all, and suddenly, a small black shadow in the sandstorm in the sky rushed towards him.

He grabbed it casually, and it turned out to be an ordinary paper crane, and he was about to throw it away, when his eyes fell on the small characters on the paper crane.
