Thank you for the peace charm rewarded by the water and rivers!

"Mother, King Qingping has sent a letter." Xi Zhen said with a smile at Du Qi Niang.

"I know, or did I receive it, what did the letter say?" Du Qiniang asked with concern on her face.

"I'd better show it to you." He took the letter out of his pocket.

Du Qiniang unceremoniously took it and opened it to see.

Xi Zhen watched her expression intently, and found that her smile was getting deeper and deeper, and she suddenly knew it.

After she finished reading, Xizhen asked, "Mother, do you approve of me being with him?" ”

Du Qiniang held Xizhen's hand tightly, and her expression was unprecedentedly solemn. She didn't answer Xizhen's question right away, she remembered the secret letter that Emperor Guangzhao had written to her, and she considered what to say, and she had to keep her mouth shut.

After a while, Du Qiniang stared into Xi Zhen's eyes and said, "Zhen'er, there may be someone in the palace who wants to tie the knot with you, have you noticed?" ”

"Mother, why do you say that?" How smart he was, he immediately realized that there must be a reason behind his words.

"Sure enough, if you haven't noticed, then, my mother will understand your thoughts, and my mother also likes King Qingping very much." Du Qiniang said as she looked at Xi Zhen's spring-like jade fingers, believing that a woman who can have such fingers can have good fortune.

"Do you approve of us being together?" Xi Zhen pressed her face against Du Qiniang's face and asked with a sweet smile.

"My mother's attitude towards you has always been hands-free, as long as you like it, my mother has always supported it, so there is no doubt about it."

"Then, you don't need to be held back by other people's thoughts on the issue of my belonging, I will cherish the feelings of King Qingping."

"If you can marry Shunshun and Lili, the king of Qingping, then my mother will have nothing to worry about."

"Yes, mother, please rest assured."

Xizhen immediately went back to the study to reply to King Qingping, this time the reply was very short, only three words: I am willing! But Xizhen knows that these three words are of great significance to her and King Qingping, which means that the two of them have recognized each other and reached a consensus to tie the knot, and each other's lives will also change because of this decision.

Of course, since she is only fifteen years old, and there are still three years before she reaches the legal age of marriage, even if she agrees, her current identity can only be the fiancée of King Qingping. But she was already satisfied.

While carefully sealing the letter, she looked forward to the future of her and King Qingping, and her face turned red unconsciously.

Xiang'er, who was looking at this qiē from outside the door, couldn't help but walk in softly, wanting to share her joy.

"King Qingping must have written you a lot of sensual words or love poems." Xiang'er said with a smile.

Xi Zhen hurriedly put the letter in the drawer and said with a stern face: "No, what he said is something serious. ”

Xiang'er smiled, didn't pierce it, stepped forward to fill her teacup, and then said, "Miss, my martial arts have greatly improved now." ”

"I've heard from my sister-in-law, she said that you are especially good at swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and if you go head-to-head, it will be more than enough to deal with those men who don't know martial arts."

"It's not interesting to compare with people who don't know martial arts, my goal is to be on par with you and the eldest young grandmother." Xiang'er said unconvinced.

"If you really have ambition, do you want to compare a few tricks?" Xizhen was happy in her heart, and she happened to be interested, so she asked.

"Okay." Xiang'er immediately took out the wooden knife and sword from the box.

As soon as he heard that Xizhen was going to compete with Xiang'er, everyone in the whole house gathered in the martial arts training ground in the backyard.

"Sister Zhen, be careful not to hurt her." Ji Yuelian instructed. She knew that Xiang'er was far from being Xizhen's opponent.

"Sister-in-law, rest assured, I promise not to hurt her." Xi Zhen replied cheerfully.

"Miss catches it." Xiang'er said, throwing one of the wooden swords towards Xizhen.

Xi Zhen didn't reach out to pick it up, but flew up instantly, slightly raising his face to face the direction where the wooden sword was flying.

"Miss be careful with her face and eyes." Someone in the crowd shouted.

Xi Zhen smiled slightly, his small mouth opened slightly, and his teeth firmly bit the sword.

It's so dangerous, if it's a real sword, I'm afraid I'll even cut my lips.

Everyone patted their hearts and said secretly, and the hanging heart gradually let go.

"Miss is so skilled!" Xiang'er hugged her fist and said.

"Xiang'er's is not bad!" Xi Zhen also smiled and hugged his fist back.

"Miss picks up!" Xiang'er said, and then slowly approached her with a sword.

"It's too slow, be quick." Said happily and calmly.

Xiang'er then rushed straight up at lightning speed.

Xi Zhen's body was slightly sideways, and as soon as her right hand flipped over, the sword in her hand blocked the sword she stabbed straight up, and then, the two swords intersected, and the two sides kept changing their steps. Everyone looked, but saw that the swords in the hands of the two did not move, but their arms were trembling slightly, which showed that both of them were secretly using internal strength. For a while, everyone held their breath and watched intently, and the scene was very tense.

Hee-jin, who is well versed in the essence of swordsmanship, doesn't want to really hurt Xiang'er, so she keeps looking for her flaws so that she can win with one move, however, she finds that Xiang'er has no flaws for her to attack.

For novices, although Xiang'er is still relatively weak in terms of strength, agility and aggression in making swords, it is rare for her to be able to do a good job in defense.

As long as this girl is honed a lot, her future is immeasurable! Xi Zhen said secretly in his heart.

Xiang'er's hand holding the sword suddenly strained, and the sword blade stabbed forward hard, however, when her sword was about to approach Xi Zhen's body, she couldn't move as if she was being controlled by something, no matter how hard she tried, the sword in her hand still couldn't move forward, and she couldn't help but secretly admire Xi Zhen's internal strength.

After such a stalemate for half a cup of tea, the sword in Xiang'er's hand still couldn't attack forward, Xiang'er's body gradually weakened, she immediately withdrew her sword, but she felt a burst of momentum rushing towards her, she staggered back a few steps, and was able to stand firm.

Hee Zhen immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Xiang'er replied with a smile: "It's okay, Miss is amazing!" ”

"You have only learned swords in such a short time to have this achievement, I want to be impressed by you, since you have the talent in this area, you will follow the young grandmother to learn hard in the future."

"Yes, thank you, Miss!"

"Is the knife technique even better?" Hee Zhen asked with a smile.

"Miss Wang, give me some pointers." Xiang'er said.

"Okay." Hee Zhen immediately picked up the wooden broadsword.

Xiang'er also picked up a handful.

"Miss please strike first this time." Xiang'er said.

"Okay, Xiang'er takes it." Xi Zhen held the knife in both hands, and with a light jump, his whole body soared into the air. She raised her arm high, blade down, and slashed straight down at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er quickly flashed back with a move 'Peach', retreated to a few steps and then attacked with a knife, the two knives touched each other and instantly made a loud clicking sound, and then, the two knives separated, and the two moved back a few steps at the same time, and then at the same time with a move 'swallow into the nest' to provoke each other.

Just as their knives were about to touch each other's faces, the two did a side flip in opposite directions, avoiding the abrasions.

After the two sides landed on the ground, Xi Zhen said: "This time we have a draw. ”

Xiang'er also hugged her fists at Xizhen and said, "It's Miss who agreed." ”

Then, Xiang'er said to Ji Yuelian: "Thank you for your careful teaching!" ”

Ji Yuelian smiled and said, "That is also related to your diligence and eagerness to learn." ”

"In the future, we will have another woman in the house! Later, I will give you a piece of cloth, and you can make some new clothes to wear. Du Qiniang looked at Xiang'er and said happily.

Xiang'er hurriedly thanked her.

Everyone left the martial arts training ground with a smile.

Xiang'er knows martial arts and is most happy, because she hopes that Xiang'er will be more successful in the future.

Hee-jin thought to herself as she walked towards the study.

At present, the training of field soldiers on the border is nearing completion, and the next step is to start building a fortress.

Hee-jin's mind immediately had a clearer plan than before.
