"You love him, don't you?"

Xia Xue'er stared at the man in front of her, who was over half a hundred years old, and asked sincerely. She could feel the subtlety in Uncle Bian's tone when he talked about Murong Zetao.

"Huh?" Uncle Bian was stunned at first, he didn't know why the girl in front of him asked like this, Murong Zetao was his only nephew, no matter how big the gap between the two was, after all, blood is thicker than water, and there is a constant connection, what is there to love or not.

"The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. I'm an outsider, and I don't know much about you, and I don't know anything about your grievances, but I can see that you care about each other. ”

In the face of Xia Xueer's question, Uncle Bian didn't answer, but laughed softly, there was endless sadness and helplessness in that laughter, and the wheat-colored face and sunken eye sockets could no longer hide the sadness in his heart. Xia Xue'er's mood is a little heavy, it's a very sad thing to be hated by her only relative, right? For fifteen years, in the dead of night, I think of my eldest brother who died to protect himself, my niece who treats him as my own, and my nephew who has a grudge, how did he survive day by day?

Suddenly, I remembered Xia Linlai, Bai Yining's ruthlessness was as good as Uncle Bian's, but he didn't have the slightest resentment, he still loved it in the end.

"No child really blames an elder whose blood is thicker than water, he may just be angry..."

Uncle Bian looked at Xia Xue'er again, and there was a touch of love from the elders to see the younger generations, and after getting along for a long time, he found that this girl had Zerou's kindness, but she didn't look like Zerou at all. No matter who she is, as long as she can make Ze Tao happy, even if she is the deputy valley master of Netherworld Valley? What if she is Xiahou Ye's daughter? What if she is the princess of the royal family?

The eldest brother sacrificed himself to protect him for a lifetime, and he was willing to protect Zetao for a lifetime with his own life, and naturally he had the obligation to protect her well, even if he was an enemy of the royal family, he was fearless. He has that courage, and the Killing Hall also has that strength!

Stretched out his hand to cover Xia Xue'er's arm and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you." ”

Xia Xue'er was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "No, I should thank you." "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know Murong Zetao so much; If it weren't for him, he might have really made a big mistake that he would never forgive himself; If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have felt the strong warmth in the lore hall that was criticized by the world......

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the compartment through the narrow window, gilding the room with a layer of gold, no dazzling light, just soft and warm. Xia Xue'er looked up at the sky outside the house, the slightly reddened clouds, like a woman coated with rouge, coquettish.

Time flies, the day passed quickly, and the evil god spent a morning, and now spent an afternoon in this teahouse, it's time to go home, and I don't know if the eldest brother is not there.

got up to say goodbye to Uncle Bian, but was stopped the moment he turned around and went out.

"Girl, no matter what the relationship between you and that Dengxian Tower is, I don't want to know anymore, just one point, you can't go in, the ambush inside is not something that the two of you can deal with! I don't want to lose my only loved one when I'm old, and I don't want to be sorry for his dead father! ”

Hearing this, Xia Xue'er's body froze, looking at Uncle Bian's expression, in fact, he had already known about it, and he had already seen through her plan to use Murong Zetao, but he didn't say it explicitly. The mouth opened, but she never spit out a word, what the other party said was the truth, she didn't want to quibble, so what else could she say? In the end, he just glanced apologetically at Murong Zetao, who was sitting under the window, still in a coma, bowed to Uncle Bian, and then turned around and left.

The street scene under the sunset is as soft as the world in a fairy tale, and the Dengxian Tower stands quietly at the intersection of the main street, peaceful like a sleeping old man, although Xia Xue'er knows that it is only the calm before the storm.

In the end, she still obeyed Uncle Bian's admonition, took the reins handed by the little maid, and led the horse in reverse.

She did not enter the house through the main gate, but walked to the corner gate where she usually left the house without permission.

"Third Miss!"

As soon as Xia Xue'er entered the door with her feet, a familiar voice came from behind her, and she couldn't help but be startled, and took a deep breath before turning around. Mu Feiyang was standing under a laurel tree not far away, looking at himself with his eyes full of inquiry, and his leisurely posture seemed a little like he was waiting for her here on purpose.

"The courtiers pay a visit to Your Highness." Xia Xue'er bowed down very seriously, and kept a saluting posture before Mu Feiyang didn't let her calm down. Now Mu Feiyang's identity has been exposed, so he can't continue to pretend that he doesn't know anything, although he doesn't like this person very much, but the etiquette that should be there is indispensable, such as this meeting gift, otherwise people will feel that there are no rules in Xia Mansion.

In this regard, Mu Feiyang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xia Xue'er to show such a low-eyed demeanor to him, looking at her respectful appearance, there was a slight disappointment in his heart. This is the disadvantage of being exposed, you can't see the true temperament of others, all of them are routines, they are all ambiguous moves!

"Actually, you don't want to, do you?"

Xia Xue'er still maintained a saluting posture and did not waver for a moment, lowered her head and replied calmly: "I don't know what His Highness asked, please forgive the courtiers for not answering randomly." ”

Mu Feiyang frowned, she was pretending to be stupid! But she knew that she wanted to avoid this question, but she still couldn't help but want to know the truth, so she simply asked directly: "Paying tribute to this palace is not because of respect for this palace, but just a last resort?" ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, your status is noble, and the courtiers only respect the number of courtesies, otherwise wouldn't it make people laugh at me as the daughter of the Hou Mansion but I don't know the number of etiquette, and I am guilty of the following crimes, and I have no respect and humility?"

There was no loophole in Xia Xue'er's words, but Mu Feiyang could clearly feel her deliberate distancing, and she didn't feel a nameless fire ignited in her heart, flicked her sleeves, and strode towards Xia Xue'er's side.

At the moment when they passed by, a majestic voice came into Xia Xue'er's ears: "Calm down, don't forget that you are the quasi-imperial concubine of this palace!" ”

Xia Xue'er straightened up and rubbed her poor waist, who did she provoke today? first stood under the scorching sun for a few hours, and after returning home, he had to accept Mu Feiyang's martial arts! I don't really want to marry him, so why bother to go online like that! glared angrily at the figure walking in front of him, and sneered for a while.

Feeling the chill from behind him, Mu Feiyang inadvertently raised the corners of her mouth slightly, this girl is still the same, for some reason she just doesn't like him, and it can even be said that she dislikes him, but even so, she is faintly happy in her heart, because she will be angry It means that she doesn't completely want to flatter him, she hasn't completely disguised herself, and she is still true temperament!

Then he pretended to be angry and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't keep up yet! ”

"Yes!"

Xia Xue'er replied angrily, and hurriedly trotted all the way to follow.

Looking at the man walking in front of her, Xia Xue'er followed behind and waved her little fist angrily, greeting the eighteenth generation of the other party's ancestors in her heart! Mu Feiyang simply regarded the garden of Xiafu as his own back garden! Fang Cai was still wandering along the path, and after a while she went around to the woods and flowers, and stood under this tree for two seconds, and the flower stopped a few steps in front of it, looking idle and unbeaten, it was simply sent by God to torture her!

Mu Feiyang deliberately kept a certain distance from her, he walked fast when she walked fast, and he slowed down when she slowed down, but she was not allowed to stop!

"Keep up!"

"Hurry up!!"

"Go this way!!"

"Don't !!! it"

“……”

As soon as her footsteps stopped, Mu Feiyang's voice jumped out! In recent days, her rest has not been good, and she is at ease for a few hours a day, and she has been tossing for most of the day today, and she is already exhausted, and she finally returned home but was forced to accept the ruthless destruction from Mu Feiyang!

Resisting the urge to beat the man standing under the begonia in front of her, Xia Xue'er tried her best to squeeze out a smile and asked, "Your Highness!" Don't you have anything to attend to today? ”

Mu Fei raised his eyebrows and replied calmly: "No, follow up!" ”

"I can't walk......"

Xia Xue'er rolled her eyes, simply sat down on a big rock on the side of the road, stretched out her hand and hung her legs, relieved the soreness in her muscles, and wanted to go by herself, Miss Ben would no longer accompany her!

It's been going back and forth around such a large garden for more than an hour! I don't know if it's getting dark! As a prince, it's not good to stay in the palace, why do you always like to run to the summer mansion? This is not his home, if you want to discuss things with the eldest brother, you can go to the eldest brother's courtyard, where there are also begonias to see!

Mu Feiyang saw Xia Xue'er sitting down directly on the side, shook his head and walked towards her very helplessly, "Aren't you a martial arts practitioner?" Why is the foot strength still so bad! ”

"The little girl is just a beginner, and she is very good at martial arts, so naturally she is not as strong as His Highness!" Xia Xue'er said angrily.

Hearing this, Mu Feiyang just smiled meaningfully, if he hadn't investigated her before, how could he rest assured that he would let her assist him? However, he didn't tear her down, he just stretched out his hand to her.

Looking at the hand that suddenly came out in front of her, Xia Xue'er just glanced at it with disgust and ignored it.

Mu Feiyang retracted his hand knowing that he was bored, touched his nose, and said with an unnatural expression: "Let's go!" ”

"Please tell Your Highness where you are going first, otherwise I won't get up." Xia Xue'er was expressionless, just caring about beating her legs, and she didn't bother to look at Mu Feiyang.

"I'm the prince, you're a courtier, obeying orders is what you should do, where is so much nonsense!" There was an irresistible majesty in Mu Feiyang's tone, but it had no effect on Xia Xue'er.

"I only obey the orders that should be obeyed, and I am not responsible for paying for your vexatious trouble!" Xia Xue'er suddenly raised her head, looked at Mu Feiyang and said angrily: "So please ask Your Highness to explain where you want to go first, and then the courtiers will decide whether to follow or not!" There is unquestionable firmness in the tone, and there is even more courage that is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

"Aren't you afraid that I will offend you?"

"What am I guilty of?"

"There is no dignity in the eyes of the following offenses."

"I think my refusal is justified, but if all refusals are regarded as sins and disrespectful, then I have nothing to say, and if you want to punish them, then they will be cured! Today, I can see it, it turns out that the royal family is so careless of human life and indiscriminate killing of innocents! ”

Xia Xue'er raised her head and complained with confidence, the look of generosity to death made Mu Feiyang have nothing to say for a while, he just wanted to tease her, how could he really cure her crime? Besides, his lifelong wish is to let every inch of the world be illuminated by the sun, and there will be no darkness, no corruption, and no bullying in this world...... All people can live a happy and healthy life under his rule, and create a peaceful and prosperous world together! Fifteen years ago, his brother stopped there, and he was obliged to fulfill their shared dream and fight for it!

"So you're here, let's find it!"

Suddenly, there was a melodious and slightly sadistic voice like a bell, Xia Xue'er and Mu Feiyang were shocked, especially Xia Xue'er, searching for the huge inventory memory in her mind, she had never heard this voice in the past year, could it be that what kind of "old man"?

Following the prestige, I saw a woman with a beautiful face looking at her with a smile on her face, very kind, but noble and elegant. This person is dressed in brocade, and the accessories on his body are also excellent, and then looking at the people who followed him, Xia Xue'er already knew the identity of this person, so she hurriedly stood up from the stone, bowed down respectfully and said, "The courtier has seen Princess Manjushri." ”

Seeing this, Princess Manjushri took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to pick up Xia Xue'er, and said with a light smile: "No need to be polite, please get up quickly!" ”

Mu Wenshu took Xia Xue'er's hand and said affectionately: "You don't have to treat me as a princess, just treat me as a sister." My marriage with your eldest brother has been decided, and there are still many places for you to take care of in the future! ”

Xia Xue'er smiled back and replied softly: "The princess is polite, as long as you don't think I'm stupid!" ”

The real person is really as beautiful as the portrait, and it is as approachable as the rumors, there is no princess at all, and even the "I" used to call herself is like Mu Feiyang, and a mouthful of "Bengong" is on his lips, as if others don't know!

Mrs. Xia smiled with relief, she knew her daughter's intelligence, and she was also very satisfied with this prospective daughter-in-law, seeing that the two got along harmoniously and were like sisters, she was naturally very happy in her heart!

Seeing that the sky was getting darker a little bit, the night breeze was slow, and the coolness was gradually rising, Mrs. Xia took two steps forward, bowed down and said, "Dinner is ready, please also invite Your Highness and the princess to move to the banquet living room." ”
