The situation was urgent just now, and I hadn't paid close attention to this man, but now it's okay, Li Ximu looked at this man carefully.

I saw Yue Luxin wearing a crimson gown, lined with a fair and translucent complexion, holding a white jade fan with openwork in his hand, waving it twice from time to time, and lining the whole person's temperament, the satin hair was tied up with a ribbon at will, bringing up a sense of bohemianism, the eyebrows and eyes were raised slightly to provoke a touch of charm, the eyes were radiant, and with the smile curled at the corner of the mouth, the whole person became more and more upside down.

The pavilions and pavilions behind him, the lotus pond and the clear water are not as lazy as he is at the moment, this man captures people's hearts like a demon, Li Ximu thought of the faint honey fragrance he had just smelled in his arms, the slightest fragrance seemed to be still flowing in his nose at the moment, and the fragrance bewitched her through his breath.

This man has a suffocating charm.

A trace of confusion flashed in Li Ximu's eyes, and then he regained his clarity, and then looked at Yue Luxin's eyes that were much calmer than just now: "The little woman's name is Li Ximu, and I first thanked the son for saving her." ”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper's costume walked into the courtyard, came to Yue Luxin, bowed to him and asked, "Childe is here, do you have any orders?" ”

Yue Luxin nodded at the middle-aged man, put away the folding fan and pointed at Li Ximu, her voice seemed to be born with a smile: "Take this pear girl to arrange a room to live in Mingyue Pavilion, and then send a clever maid to take care of it." Then he said to Li Ximu: "Miss Li, this is Steward Lin in the house, you can go with him, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the environment in the house." ”

Li Ximu nodded in response, and blessed Uncle Lin: "There is a Laulin housekeeper." ”

This annex is not very large. Steward Lin took her around the house, except for being small and chic, Li Ximu couldn't think of any other words to describe this courtyard. Looking at Steward Lin beside him, Li Ximu asked, "Steward Lin, Ximu is not familiar with the house, what are the rules, please tell Steward Lin in advance, I should pay attention." “

She didn't ignore the surprise that flashed in Steward Lin's eyes when she heard that Yue Luxin had let her live in the Bright Moon Pavilion.

Steward Lin glanced at Li Ximu, laughed heartily twice, and his voice was strong and powerful: "Pear girl can call me Uncle Lin at the same time, Gongzi is used to being casual." Usually, there are no restrictions on the activities of others, and there are no rules in the house. ”

Li Ximu was puzzled: "Uncle Lin, is Mingyue Pavilion a guest room in the mansion?" ”

Uncle Lin was stunned. He replied with a smile: "It's not a guest room, there have never been outsiders in the house, this is the temporary residence of the childe." ”

Li Ximu nodded after hearing this.

Walk through the cloister and arrive in a short time. Li Ximu looked at the plaque hanging on the door. The three words of Mingyue Pavilion are written casually and freely, and you can see how the people who live here are reckless and frivolous personalities.

"Who lived here?" Li Ximu turned around and asked, Uncle Lin who was standing behind him.

Uncle Lin's face flashed with strangeness, and he said, "There have been no outsiders in the mansion, and the son lived here when he came." ”

Li Ximu realized this, I am afraid that this Uncle Lin thinks she is Yue Luxin.

"Miss Pear, rest here first, I'll go down and tell something." Uncle Lin led Li Ximu into the Bright Moon Pavilion and then retreated.

Li Ximu looked around, the room was not very big. There is also not much decoration, a case of red sandalwood desk. A bookshelf, a few landscape calligraphy and paintings, I really didn't expect such a flamboyant man to live in such a simple place.

Li Ximu sat down at the round table outside, poured the tea prepared on the table and drank it shallowly, the tea rhyme was long, with a faint bitter taste flowing on the tip of the tongue.

Gently shaking the teacup in his hand, watching the tea leaves floating in it fluttering up and down, his mind began to ponder the changes he had encountered during this time.

This is the capital of Jizhou, and it will take at least half a month to hire a car to go back to his hometown Jinzhou, and when he woke up in the Sumei Pavilion at that time, he almost had no impression of the past ten days, and it is estimated that he was drugged on the road, but who is it? is a female streamer, why does it make people so devotion to murder? Mo didn't go to Su Qi! Or is it for

My heart tightened, the hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the hot tea spilled a little and sprinkled it on my hand, instantly flushing and swollen.

The pain returned to Ri Ximu's thoughts.

At this time, two very light knocks sounded, followed by an inquiry: "Pear girl?" ”

Li Ximu looked out of the door, and what caught her eyes was a little girl in green clothes, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with some food in her hand, and a pair of apricot eyes were wide open and looking at her, with a curious look in her eyes.

"Come in." Li Ximu smiled at the girl and nodded to let her in.

The girl in Tsing Yi put the food in her hand on the table, then stood in front of Li Ximu and saluted her, saying, "Pear girl, Steward Lin instructed the slave maid that your daily life here in the future will be taken care of by the slave maid." ”

Li Ximu looked at the little girl and nodded: "What's your name?" ”

"The slave's name is Xicui." The little girl is very well-behaved, but the playfulness in her eyes can't be hidden, and it seems that she is usually a lively girl.

Li Ximu looked at her like this and chuckled: "I don't have so many rules, you are not more restrained." ”

Xicui frowned in distress, thought for a while, looked at Li Ximu's gentle smile, and couldn't help relaxing: "Miss Pear, these are prepared by Gongzi, you can eat some while it's hot." ”

Li Ximu looked at the food on the table, which was full of color, flavor and flavor, which made her index finger move.

In the past few days in the Crispy Pavilion, she couldn't eat at all, and now she is free, although she is still a little worried, but her appetite is much better.

You're not welcome at the moment, just feast.

Xicui was also very happy to see her eating happily, and just wanted to speak, she saw a person walking at the door.

When Xicui saw someone coming, she couldn't help frowning, and then looked at Li Ximu, who was still eating, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Li Ximu noticed the person who came, only to see that he was dressed in brocade and jade crown, with a face like peach blossoms, he was a handsome young man of thirteen or fourteen years old, and at this moment, that still immature face was staring at her angrily, as if he had robbed him of something.

Li Ximu was puzzled. Turning his head and asking Xicui: "Xicui, who is he?" ”

Xicui looked at the voice coldly and replied, "She, who knows." I have to rely on this! ”

When the handsome young man heard this, his whole face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to Xicui: "Who are you talking about!" Who has to rely on it! ”

Xicui turned her head and said coldly: "Who knows it in their hearts!" ”

"You!" The handsome boy was extremely angry, pointed at Xicui with his finger, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Li Ximu saw that they were so discordant, so she had to interrupt: "Okay, okay, don't quarrel." ”

The handsome young man turned his gaze to her. Slowly walked up to her and stared at her for a moment, without speaking.

Li Ximu looked at her for a while, and saw that he didn't speak. I had to ask out loud, "What's the matter?" ”

Only then did the handsome young man retract his gaze and replied in an arrogant tone: "It's okay, I just want to see what the person who can bring Brother Yue into the Mingyue Pavilion looks like." ”

Li Ximu was even more puzzled.

I saw the handsome young man giggle twice, with an innocent face. Then he said, "But I don't look good. Not much better than me, huh? ”

When the handsome young man said this, his face was full of doubts: "But why did Brother Yue let you live in?" ”

Xicui snorted coldly again, obviously disdainful: "I said that this person should still be a little self-aware, don't think about not being your own every day." ”

When Li Ximu heard this, the doubts in her heart deepened, and she just wanted to ask, but she heard Xicui say to her: "Miss Li, you are the one who lives in Mingyue Pavilion, and Xicui thinks that you are as noble as Gongzi!" Naturally, the rest of the people in this house felt the same way. And those who are not careful, it is difficult to get close to Childe. Not to mention living in, and lying here every day without knowing it! I'm not ashamed! ”

When the handsome boy heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Miss Ben can't do things in your turn to call the maid to talk nonsense!" Brother Yue knows that he will not spare you! ”

"Yo yo yo, what about Brother Huanyue, I haven't even seen my son's face for so many days, who is your name?" Xicui naturally didn't let her.

Li Ximu was surprised, it turned out that this handsome young man was a girl, it was estimated that she was the lover sister of Yue Lu Xin, no wonder she came to her, but she was still young and choked by Xi Cui.

The little girl estimated that her anger was not clear, and when she heard Xicui's words, her eyes suddenly turned red, the water flickered, her red pink lips pursed, and she stomped on her feet and ran out.

Xicui ran to the door and looked around, covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Hey! I didn't even say a couple of sentences before I ran away! I haven't said enough yet! ”

Li Ximu put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and walked to the door, Xicui saw that Li Ximu came out, and hurriedly asked, "Is the pear girl eating?" Xicui is going to clean up. After saying that, he went back to the house and went to work.

Ri Ximu only caught a glimpse of the figure disappearing around the corner of the cloister.

"Xicui, who is that girl just now?" Li Ximu was a little curious after all, thinking that although the girl was dressed as a man, she was still gorgeously dressed, and her demeanor seemed to be trained by a big family.

Xicui quickly put the dishes and chopsticks on the table into the food box, and closed the lid before replying: "Miss Pear, how can she be our son-in-law, our son-in-law can't hide from her!" ”

Li Ximu was even more puzzled when she heard this, and pulled Xicui to sit down at the table nearby: "How do you say this?" Why did your son-in-law hide from her? ”

Xicui sighed and said, "After all, she is also a poor person, there is a small country near the northeast, I don't know if you know Miss Pear?" ”

Li Ximu nodded: "It seems that I have heard that it is called Suguo." ”

"That's right! It is the Su country, which is said to be divided into five major countries in the Jinqu continent today, in addition to our Zizhu country in the middle, there are also Longao country in the east, Hongxi country in the west, south country in the south and Fengdu country in the north, this Su country is sandwiched between this Longao country and Fengdu country. After Xicui finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and poured a glass of water for Li Ximu and herself.

Li Ximu picked it up and took a sip, motioning for her to continue.

Xicui didn't have any image, took a big sip and continued: "I heard Gongzi say that the current Longao Kingdom is experiencing civil strife, it seems that they are the rebellion initiated by King Xuanling, these years, it is naturally the people who have suffered from the war all their lives, but the fief of King Xuanling is close to Suguo, and the general of Long Aoguo's Zhenguo has been hit back again and again, and finally signed an agreement to ensure that there will be no rebellion again in his lifetime." ”

Xicui paused and said, "But this King Xuanling is naturally unwilling to have only that small fief, this civil strife is not successful, he naturally wants to expand his territory elsewhere, and when he finds a reason, he wants to start a war against Suguo, and the monarch of Longao Kingdom is a faint monarch!" As soon as he heard that he could expand his territory, he immediately agreed and allocated 30,000 soldiers and horses to King Xuanling. ”

Li Ximu was very worried, it is still difficult for a small country to take care of itself, and once it encounters foreign invasion, it is almost in danger of destroying the country.

Li Ximu asked again: "That girl has something to do with the crisis in this country?" ”

Xi Cui nodded: "She is the youngest princess of Su Kingdom, Murong Yunxu. ”

Li Ximu was surprised, that girl was actually a princess, thinking of her constant wiping of tears when she left, thinking that Xicui's words were probably never dared to be said to her.

Xi Cui continued: "Although the emperor of Nasu Kingdom is not brutal, but he is cowardly and incompetent, as soon as he heard that Long Aoguo was going to attack them, he sent people to Fengdu Kingdom to ask for help, saying that he would marry this princess to Fengdu Kingdom. said that she was a princess, but she was just a princess of Suguo, who would still treat her as a princess when she came out of Suguo. ”

Sure enough, the world is hot and cold, and the princess of the former scenery has finally fallen victim to politics.

"But why is she here now?" Li Ximu was very puzzled, could it be that this month, Lu Xin still has any relationship with Su Guo?

Sympathy appeared in Xicui's eyes: "There is a legend in the Fengdu Kingdom, I don't know if the pear girl has ever heard of it?" ”

"What legend?"

"Everyone in the world knows that there is a very beautiful Jiuming Lake in the country of Fengdu, which is called a sacred lake by the people of the country of Fengdu, and that legend is about that lake."

Xicui's tone of voice was mysterious, and Li Ximu was naturally very curious about the legend she said.

Xicui didn't sell Guanzi either, and said eloquently: "Legend has it that there were two major spirit beasts in the Fengdu Kingdom before, the dove and the phoenix. The dove and the phoenix are born with the same egg, the phoenix is extremely beautiful, and the dove is highly poisonous, one day the dove and the phoenix met the phoenix on the shore of this lake at the same time, at first sight, the phoenix was impressed by the beauty of the phoenix, but disgusted with the dove that is full of poison, the dove is very inferior, love but dare not speak, know that the phoenix and the phoenix Pannia are reborn as one, the dove can no longer suppress the pain in the heart, in the lake mournful chirp, according to legend, the mourning is tearful, break people's soft intestines, break people's hearts. ”

Li Ximu was moved by this story in his heart, but listened to Xicui continue: "Fengdu Kingdom uses doves as totems and is good at poisoning, and it is rumored that their emperor injured his face in a poison study. ”

"It doesn't matter if the man hurts his appearance, it's just his skin." Li Ximu disagreed.

Seeing that she didn't think so, Xicui hurriedly said, "He hurt his whole face!" Whoever marries such a man is miserable. (To be continued.) )
