Chapter 3 Hearing the Words of the Old Man at the Beginning of the Year

When the sky was bright, Qingluan got up, and after a simple freshening, she went to the back kitchen to help Aunt Gu. There are not many people in the princess's mansion, so the dishes are just a few simple stir-fried side dishes. But Aunt Gu's cooking skills are good, even a few vegetarian dishes can make people hungry and lose their tongues.

"The princess has been watching the recital all night on end, and she is already weak, and she is not allowed to serve at night. I'm going to leave for Yuesanguan in the next two days, and I'm going to have a bumpy road, and I don't know if I can bear it? While taking care of the dishes, Qingluan said worriedly.

Aunt Gu waved the spatula and sighed faintly: "Even I, a woman, have heard about it, the recent turmoil has put this burden on our princess." If the emperor can be a little angry, it would be fine, but he is so uncompetitive, but it hurts our princess. ”

"Shh......h Aunt Gu, you are quiet, it's not good for the princess to hear it. Qingluan said nervously, "The princess and the emperor are not what we can say. ”

Aunt Gu smiled: "Green girl, Aunt Liu knows how to measure." ”

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qingluan said goodbye to Aunt Gu and went to call Ning Yan to get up.

Ning Yan is probably the most unscrupulous princess in the history of Donghe, and she is actually very leisurely as her maid. When she first came to the princess's mansion, she once slept and woke up at nearly noon. Then she was shocked, and hurriedly went to the drunken flower building, but she didn't expect that the first thing Ning Yan said when she saw her was to ask her with a smile: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

She blushed and couldn't speak. Ning Yan smiled and said, "It's okay, there are not so many rules in my place, you want to sleep as long as you want." ”

Qingluan is really grateful, where to find a better master than the princess, there is no heavy work with so much money per month. I don't know how much better than the masters who used to wait.

saw Ning Yan take a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I can have no rules here, but I can't be without loyalty." You think clearly, to be my person is to be loyal to me, not a single point. If one day I find out that you have disobeyed what you said, then ...... There is only a dead end waiting for you. ”

Her tone was soft and unwavering, but Qingluan Sheng heard a cold sweat, and she didn't even dare to look up at the eyes of the person in the seat.

After thinking for a long time, she slowly looked up at Ning Yan, and said in a firm tone: "The slave is willing to follow the princess for the rest of her life and never betray her." If you violate this statement, five thunders will hit the top, and you will not be able to die. ”

The woman on the seat was as green as ink, white clothes were better than snow, and she smiled but did not speak.

In a blink of an eye, six years have passed, Qingluan sighed, if it weren't for the princess, she might have been a dead person by now.

There is a long way from the back kitchen to the dormitory where Ning Yan sleeps, and the road is full of withered yellow fallen leaves. With each step, you can hear the crisp cracking sound of the leaves. She thought faintly, these dead leaves melted into the soil, so will the flowers bloom better next year?

As she was in a trance, someone slapped her on the shoulder from behind. Then she subconsciously bowed her elbows, turned around, and kicked sideways. However, a series of offensives were easily defused by the incoming people. She frowned, her wrist shook slightly, and a soft sword bound to her arm landed in her hand, and then she quickly beckoned to the man.

In the midst of the lightning, I heard someone chuckling. Qingluan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the voice so familiar, and hurriedly withdrew his sword and looked at it.

The person who came was dressed in black, with a simple silver belt wrapped around his waist. His face is handsome and leisurely, and there is a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. "Apprentice, I haven't seen martial arts for a few months."

Qingluan looked at him, but the master couldn't scream, so he had to ask, "Why are you here?" ”

At this time, a man in blue clothes and baby face came out from behind the tree, leaning against the tree with his sword, looking at them with a look of amusement.

"It's not just us, just last night the seven envoys of Guilan came, and you, as the personal maid of the Lord Ling, instead of waiting with you, didn't know anything about it? It's really a punishment! The man in black looked at her with a fallen leaf in his slender hand and a smile.

What the? Qingluan's eyes widened, and he turned around and ran towards Shattered Leaf Xuan. Ning Yan has always been rewarded for merit and punishment, without exception. She had been to that place once for doing something wrong, and then she never wanted to go in there a second time in her life.

The man in black smiled "haha" and said to her back: "Wind roaring cave...... I'm waiting for you. ”

Truth be told, that hole wasn't really a good place. It is a cave naturally formed due to the unique topography of the interior of Mt. Guilan, and the cold wind blows all year round. The cold wind poured in from different angles in all directions, and was split into countless small wind blades by the strange-shaped rocks and karst caves, and the knives were pressing. This kind of wind blade is indeed a good way to practice for people with sufficient skills, but ordinary people can't stand it at all, and practicing in the name of it is actually a punishment.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Carrying the skirt and transporting the internal force, it only took a while to arrive at the Broken Leaf Xuan.

Broken Leaf Xuan is a small pavilion surrounded by water on three sides, the courtyard outside the pool is planted with a lot of acacia and magnolia, and there is a bamboo forest in the northwest corner, which looks quite elegant. The four sides of the pavilion were originally covered with bamboo vines, and because Ning Yan liked to deal with political affairs here, the bamboo vines on all sides were rolled up.

At this time, Xuanzhong was sitting quietly on a woman in plain white clothes. The face is beautiful and beautiful, without a trace of grace and floating, which is pleasing to the eye. She held a brush in her hand, and wrote as she stopped, and on the left-hand side of the table was already piled up with a stack of musicals.

"Princess, punish the slave!" Qingluan lowered her head and stood in front of her.

The woman in white chuckled lightly and said, "What have you done, why should I punish you?" ”

"I ...... I ...... "her" and "me" for a long time, and my face turned red.

The woman in white got up, walked up to her and said with a smile: "Let me guess, did you meet Luo Hua and Liuyu just now?" Qingluan nodded.

When Ning Yan heard this, she said loudly: "You all come out." ”

Suddenly, several figures floated into the courtyard. Those people are very good at light body skills, the grass and trees are not shocked, and there is not even a trace of change in the airflow. In the blink of an eye, the small Broken Leaf Xuan was full of people.

Everyone bowed down in unison: "See Lord Ling." ”

"Get up." Ning Yan lightly swept the four people in front of her. Looking at the first man in a black suit, he asked, "Luohua, how is the mountain lord lately?" ”

Luo Hua bowed in return, not laughing casually with Qingluan at all, and said respectfully: "If you return to the Lord, the Mountain Lord is fine." ”

"Medicine...... Did you eat it on time? She paused, and seemed to be careful about every word.

"Replying to the Lord's words, the Lord of the Mountain said that if the Lord Commander asks about his recent situation, he will say yes."

"And what the hell is going on with him?"

"Subordinate...... I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Say!" Ning Yan frowned.

"The mountain master is not good, and he rarely practices recently, and he has to rely on a wheelchair to get in and out......"

Ning Yan interrupted him with a wave of her hand, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Okay, no need to say it." There was already a slight tremor in her voice, but she didn't notice it.

Gu Mingxuan, you did it on purpose! Deliberately let me know you're angry! Deliberately torturing myself makes me uncomfortable! But if we know today, why should we be in the first place? And when will the knot that hold us between us be untied?

She struggled to regain her composure, but her face was as pale as paper. Qingluan hurriedly helped her sit on the chair.

"Well, you have been summoned today for the purpose of the Lunar Pass. The seven envoys of Guilan should all have no tasks in their bodies. ”

"The Lord of the Order, the Night Envoy, the Wind Envoy and the Kui Ri Envoy all have tasks on their bodies, and the rest of them are all here." It was a woman in blue and purple clothes on the far right who spoke, and her voice was cold and warm. A long scar on his face cut down from the center of his eyebrows to the bridge of his nose, turning a face that was originally quite a peugeot into a hideous and terrifying face. This person is none other than Qin Jue, the number one fire suppressor among the Seven Envoys of Guilan.

Nodding, Ning Yan said, "It's okay." On this trip to the Moon Scattered Pass, Luohua and Liuyu walked with me. Cup month. She looked at the woman in orange clothes with a quiet face standing in the middle, "You sneaked into the palace and protected the emperor's safety." Qin Jue, you go to Nanwu alone and help me do one thing. ”

After a while, the four of them took their orders and left, and the small Broken Leaf Xuan regained its tranquility. Ning Yan asked Qingluan: "How are the things packed?" ”

Qingluan replied: "Back to the princess, it's almost." The carriage was sent by the mountain lord a few days ago, and it is said that it is made of thousand-year-old black iron and is invulnerable. There are also large and small mechanisms in the car, which is said to be enough to defend if there is danger. ”

"Well, let's go down. Leave tomorrow at noon. She said lightly.

When Qingluan walked away, the woman in plain white clothes took a breath and lay down on the desk, and a long-lost feeling of powerlessness gradually spread to all her limbs.

She suddenly raised her head, dipped her pen in ink, and wrote a poem on the transparent life announcement: Enter my lovesick door, know my lovesickness. Sauvignon Blanc is long and remembrance, and Sauvignon Blanc is infinite. I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.

Every stroke is very strong, and the ink is smudged, and the force penetrates the back of the paper. Then large teardrops fell on the rice paper, mixed with ink, and blurred the handwriting.

She wiped her tears, changed a piece of paper and continued to write: Mingxuan, the northern geese flew south, and the sky gradually became cold. Did you add an extra piece of clothing? Don't catch a cold. Your leg will hurt when it rains, so be sure to remember to take your medicine, even if you don't feel the pain on weekdays. By the time it tells you that it's in pain, it's too late. Mingxuan, do you know that we haven't seen each other for a whole year.

When she was done, she carefully folded the paper, took out a small sandalwood lattice carved with magnolia patterns, and put the letter inside. It seems that there are already many letters that have never been sent out like that. They lie there quietly, sleeping silently.
