Qin Xiao thought that Grandpa Wei would come back soon and take him to meet the sage, but he waited left and right, and after noon, he still didn't see Grandpa Wei come back.

He was a little strange, the sage ordered him to enter the palace immediately to meet him, and he entered the palace himself, but he did not summon him for a long time.

"How long does it usually take for a saint to be summoned?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask the palace maid not far away.

Father-in-law Wei had instructed him before that after entering the palace, he should not speak easily, so although there was a palace maid on the side, Qin Xiao never accosted her, and he was a little impatient at this time, and couldn't help but ask.

The palace maid shook her head and did not speak.

Qin Xiao thought to himself that the sacred heart was unpredictable, so he shouldn't ask a palace maid.

After waiting for a while, he saw a palace maid coming over with a basket, Qin Xiao was wondering to himself, the palace maid had already put the basket on the table, took out the food from it, and carefully placed it on the table, a total of four dishes and one soup, with excellent color matching, which was pleasing to the eye.

"It's lunch, summoned by the saints, and you can't drink alcohol." The palace maid said softly.

Qin Xiao is not polite, he eats chopsticks, the delicacies are delicious, and the taste is naturally very delicious.

"It's deer lips, does it taste okay?" Seeing that Qin Xiao was handsome, the palace maid asked with a chuckle beside her.

Qin Xiao was stunned and said in surprise: "Deer lips? ”

This dish is not much, the cut is square, when Qin Xiao took the first bite, he felt that the taste was very wonderful, he had never tasted such a taste before, he ate half of it in a few bites, but he really didn't expect that this was a deer lip.

Naturally, he had heard of such a delicacy, but he had never actually tasted it, or even seen it.

The palace maid nodded with a chuckle and said, "This is what the sage instructed the imperial dining room to do especially for you, and the sage also said that if you feel that it is not delicious, you can replace it." ”

"The saint personally commanded the imperial dining room?" Qin Xiao was even more surprised.

He had been speculating about why the saint would suddenly summon him to the palace, but after thinking about it, he only felt that the emperor's mind was really not something he could guess, and at this time, he heard that even this lunch was made by the saint himself to the imperial dining room, so he was naturally even more surprised, and he really didn't know why the saint would treat him so kindly.

"Yes." The palace maid also saw that Qin Xiao didn't know anything about the dishes in front of her, so she introduced them immediately.

The more Qin Xiao listened, the more surprised he became, when he saw the four dishes and one soup, although he knew that it was a delicacy, but he really couldn't see what materials were made of, only then did he know that the red one was made of swan meat, and the yellowish one was cooked with a bear's paw.

A simple four dishes and one soup, but it is extremely luxurious.

Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that the palace is a palace after all, and the imperial dining room is specially responsible for the emperor's food, and what the emperor eats is certainly not something that ordinary people can imagine.

"Thank you sister for your advice." Qin Xiao felt that the palace maid who delivered the meal seemed to have a higher status than the palace maid who had been waiting by the side, and asked softly: "The sage knows that I have entered the palace, I don't know when I will be able to summon me?" I've been waiting here for more than an hour. ”

The palace maid smiled lightly: "When the saint summons him, he will naturally send someone to pass it on, and if there is no will, you just wait here, you can tell us what you need." ”

Qin Xiao knew that it was useless to ask more, so he could only wait patiently.

He thought that the saint at noon was not summoned, after eating, he would not wait too long, who knew that he would wait until dusk, still no one came to pass on, he was bored and lazy, and he was really a little impatient in his heart, and he sat for most of the day, and his buttocks were a little painful, so he stood up, looked around, and saw a long corridor leading to the outside, and said to the palace maid: "I will walk around here casually, move, sit for too long and my body is a little numb, I won't go too far, it's nearby." ”

The palace maid bowed her head and did not speak.

Qin Xiao wondered, could it be that this palace maid was a mute? However, since this palace maid didn't stop it, it seems that it doesn't matter if she takes two steps casually.

He moved his hands and feet, and walked forward along the corridor, this is an outer corridor, outside is a rockery forest, the corridor turned a few turns, this ice hall is quite deserted, but it did not live up to the word "ice" in the middle, although there are also a few palace maids, but they are all expressionless, when Qin Xiao passed by, the palace maids all bowed their heads and did not say a word.

Walking to the end of the corridor, he found a stone arch in front of him, thinking that he really couldn't go too far, the saint would summon him at any time, if he couldn't meet him in time, it would be troublesome, and he was about to turn around and go back, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of sobbing.

Qin Xiao's ear power is amazing, if he is an ordinary person, he will never be able to hear it.

The sobbing sound was quite sad, it seemed to come from behind the stone arch, Qin Xiao was a little puzzled, curious, and couldn't help but walk lightly, through the stone arch, but found that it was an empty garden, the shade was dense, and he walked lightly past the sound, only to see a woman in palace clothes squatting there on the edge of a flower garden and sobbing quietly.

Qin Xiao was puzzled, seeing that the palace people were not dressed like ordinary palace maids, they were more gorgeous, they walked over lightly, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you crying?" ”

The palace man raised his head, with a beautiful posture and teary eyes, but he looked like he was twenty-three or four years old, and said sadly: "It's dead!" ”

"Dead?" Qin Xiao was puzzled: "Who died?" "I wonder if it is because the relatives of this palace have passed away, which is why they are so sad.

The palace man pointed to the ground, tears rolled down his cheeks, and said sadly: "The little worm is dead, it doesn't move, I have been waiting for a long time." ”

Qin Xiao took a closer look, but found that there was a butterfly on the ground, motionless, naturally dead.

He was stunned.

When a butterfly dies, why is it so sad?

If this is a child of three or four years old, he can barely understand it, but this palace person is several years older than himself, and he is already an adult, and he is sobbing in a low voice here for the death of a butterfly, which really makes Qin Xiao feel stunned.

"Can you revive it?" The palace man raised his head, looked at Qin Xiao and asked.

Her eyes were clear, like a clear spring, without the slightest impurity.

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "Dead things can't be resurrected, people are like this, and butterflies are like this." ”

When the people in the palace heard this, they were even more sad, and tears rained down.

"If you're really sad, just bury it." Qin Xiao squatted down beside the palace people and said softly: "Let it be in the ground, its soul will not disperse, and it can have an afterlife." ”

"Afterlife?" The palace man blinked, with a look of innocence: "What is the next life?" ”

Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, but still explained: "It's reincarnation." If a person dies, his soul is still there, if he does good deeds, he can still be reincarnated as an adult in the next life, and he will have a new life, and if he does bad things, he will be reincarnated as a pig and dog. ”

"Can it still be reincarnated?" Although the palace people were still in tears, they obviously showed joy: "After it was reincarnated, did it come back here?" Can I still see it? ”

Qin Xiao raised his hand and scratched his head, nodded and said, "It should be..... It should work. ”

"Then you help me bury it." The palace man's eyes were full of pleading,

Qin Xiao found a branch, dug a small pit on the edge of the flower garden, carefully put the butterfly in it, then buried it with soil, threw away the branch and said: "Okay, it has been put into the soil for peace, and it can be reincarnated in the next life, and it can become a beautiful butterfly." ”

The palace man smiled and nodded: "Then I'll wait here for it to be reincarnated, when will it come back?" ”

Qin Xiao was even more stunned, looking at the palace people, thinking that this palace person was ridiculing herself, but looking at her eyes, clear and sincere, it seemed to be from the bottom of her heart, secretly thinking that this girl's brain didn't seem to be very bright, and said softly: "I don't know when it will come back, maybe it thinks of you, and knows that it will come back when you wait here for it." However, it takes time to be reincarnated, and it will not be able to come back in a few days, so it will take a while. The next time you see a butterfly here, it's back. ”

The palace man thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll come and see it every day." ”

"Are you from the palace?" Qin Xiao asked curiously, "What's your name?" ”

"Come back." The palace man smiled sweetly: "I'm embarrassed." ”

"Huh?" Qin Xiao smiled: "This name is good. My name is Qin Xiao, and I am at ease. ”

"Happy!" The palace man stretched out a hand, pinched Qin Xiao's nose, and said with a smile: "You are Xiaoxiao, I am Xixi." ”

Qin Xiao was even more surprised.

Although the Tang Dynasty is civilized, this girl directly reached out and pinched her nose, she was really bold, and ordinary girls would never dare to do this.

Xi Xi let go of his hand and said, "Xi Xi has something delicious, do you want to eat it?" I'll take you to eat. ”

Qin Xiao had eaten a lot of pastries before, and he had just eaten deer lips and bear paws, his stomach was full, so he naturally had no appetite, shook his head and smiled: "No need, thank you." Seeing Xixi, he instantly showed disappointment, and hurriedly said: "But if I'm hungry, I'll ask you for something delicious, do you say okay?" ”

The look of disappointment disappeared immediately, and he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Xiaoxiao, you are hungry, I will give you something to eat." My sister prepared a lot of delicious food for me, and it was all on the table, and she said that she was obedient, and she had to eat enough every day, and only when she was full did she have strength. ”

"Yes, you have strength when you are full." Qin Xiao smiled and nodded.

At this time, I already understood that although this girl was in her twenties, her IQ seemed to be like a child, and she didn't understand world affairs.

At this moment, I heard a person say, "Here, here." ”

Qin Xiao looked up, only to see a palace maid pointing to this side, hurriedly over, and then two palace maids appeared, Qin Xiao stood up, the palace maid saw Qin Xiao with Xixi, a little surprised, and asked, "Who are you?" How could it be here? ”

"I was ordered to enter the palace and wait for the summons of the saints." Qin Xiao arched his hand.

The palace maid didn't ask much, helped her up and said, "Your Highness, everyone is looking for you, hurry up." The other two palace maids also came over, bowing and respectful.

Qin Xiao was stunned, thinking that this palace person called Xixi "His Royal Highness", but His Royal Highness was the title of the royal heir, could it be that Xixi was actually the royal heir?

She ..... Who is she? Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

The palace maid glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "This is Princess Changning, this is not the place you should come, so don't hurry up and retreat." Without saying much, several palace maids helped Xixi to leave, walked a few steps, turned around, and said to Qin Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, come to me when you are hungry, and I will take you to eat delicious food." "The smile is sweet and innocent.

Qin Xiao was shocked in his heart, but he bowed to Xixi, thinking that there was such a princess in the palace.
