Fan Li came out of King Yue, and went directly to Huanyue Pavilion, and imagined countless times along the way how to tell Xi Shi about this result, and also imagined countless times how Xi Shi would reply.

But when he walked in front of the Huanyue Pavilion, he stopped in place, unable to take a step inside.

Clearly...... The decision made from the beginning can not only fulfill your heroic dream, but also hold the beauty. As long as you put a set of rhetoric perfectly, it is enough to show your deep affection and helplessness.

But...... Fan Li is still stage frightened.

He kills enemies on the battlefield, and the sword cuts in front of his eyes without blinking; went to Wu as a slave with King Yue, and never worried about his life; Even if the black bear pounces on its face, it is not afraid at all.

However, in the face of the petite woman, he was afraid. He was afraid that she would see her thoughts, that she would leave him, that she would not want to go to Wu, and that she would be disappointed in him.

Pedestrians on the road would salute when they saw Fan Li, but when they saw him standing in place stupidly, they didn't bother him.

It wasn't until the moon was on the branch that the maids were about to close the door to rest that they saw Fan Li standing outside the door, and hurriedly saluted him and invited him in.

Fan Li wanted to raise his legs and enter the door, but found that his legs had already frozen, and after stumbling for a while, he was immediately supported by the maids.

Ah Duo said worriedly, "How long has the general been here?" Why don't you go in? The girl also told us that we should welcome you when we see you coming. If the girl had seen the general waiting for a long time, she would have blamed the slaves. ”

Fan Li waved his hand and said weakly: "I don't blame you, it's that I don't dare to see her." ”

Ah Duo tilted his head curiously and asked, "Don't dare?" ”

Fan Li sighed, didn't answer her, just gently pushed away the maid who was supporting him. Then he smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and lifted his legs into the courtyard.

Ah Duo flexibly ran to the door of Xi Shi and knocked on the door, and said, "Girl, General Fan is here." It seems that you have been standing outside for a long time, and when the slaves and maids went to close the door, they saw General Fan standing outside the door and looking at your room. ”

Xi Shi heard Ah Duo say that Fan Li was coming in the house, and wanted to greet him happily, but he was stunned when he heard the content behind.

He's been here a long time ago, but he's been staying outside the door and won't come in?

There was a faint uneasiness in Xi Shi's heart.

After Fan Li walked in, he also knocked on the door, and after a pause, he shouted softly: "Shi'er, I'm here." ”

Xi Shi was separated from him, but he also guessed a little reason why he didn't dare to come in, and he forgot to reply to his words for a while and opened the door for him.

Fan Li didn't hear Xi Shi's movements, and his heart became more and more uneasy, so he stammered a little and said, "Shi, Shi'er, I, I have something to tell you." ”

Xi Shi understood his panic, and it was the first time that he didn't want to see him so much, and heard him say some bad things.

"I've already rested, Fan Lang will go back first." Shih Tzu whispered.

Fan Li frowned, eager to explain: "Shi'er, I really ......"

"General Fan doesn't need to say much." Shih Tzu's cold voice stopped him from talking.

Ah Duo helped Xi Shi with the current situation and said: "General Fan, the girl has indeed fallen asleep, the weather is cold, our girl is already weak, if the general is not in a hurry, he will not be in a hurry another day." ”

Fan Li could hear the meaning of the eviction, and he didn't know how to tell Xi Shi about it calmly, so he said playfully: "Then, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

After finishing speaking, Fan Li fled.

After Fan Li left, Ah Duo asked softly: "Girl, do you still need slaves to go in and serve?" ”

Xi Shi opened some cracks in the door, smiled at Ah Duo, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, rest early, I will sleep immediately." ”

Ah Duo bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.

Xi Shi looked at the empty courtyard and was stunned for a moment, and a cold wind blew, choking Xi Shi a few times.

Xi Shi hurriedly closed the door and lay on the bed wrapped tightly in the quilt.

It seems that the king has approached Fan Lang, and he has not yet agreed to his marriage proposal.

Because of such an absurd rumor, the relationship between himself and Fan Lang was lightly separated.

So, what is she up against? Is it King Yue, King Wu, or Zhou Tianzi?

Shih Tzu couldn't figure out why a sudden rumor could shatter their carefully maintained future. Who could come up with such a vicious method, and have the ability to spread the rumors so quickly and immediately reach the ears of King Yue? And who has the intention of doing so?

Then, what should I do in the future with Fan Lang?

Xi Shi closed her eyes and meditated, hoping to hear the answer in a trance, but all she could hear was the sound of the wind and a series of footsteps.

Footsteps?

Si Shi suddenly felt alert, and immediately sat up and listened to the door warily, and his hand also reached for the dagger beside the bed, although he was always ready.

"Girl, wake up, the king has summoned the people of Lin Temple to come and deliver the message." Ling Niang knocked on the door and said in a slightly anxious tone.

Xi Shi hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door to greet him, and the people of Lin Temple said politely: "Xi Shi girl doesn't have to be polite, the slave just passed a word and left." Tomorrow, the king and the queen will invite you and General Fan to a dinner party, and the slave will send someone to pick you up at the right time. Prepare yourself. ”

Xi Shi accepted the will, and after sending off the people of Lin Temple, he frowned and thought in wonder.

Ling Niang helped Xi Shi into the room and sat down, and then closed the door after seeing that there was no one in private.

"Girl, the slave family heard today that the king has recruited General Fan into the palace. Moreover, the content of the story is your marriage to General Fan. It's just that the marriage seems to have been put on hold. Lingniang said slowly.

Xi Shi knew that if something like this happened, it was good to be put on hold, and there was still room for maneuver.

"Because of the rumors?" Shih Tzu asked.

Lingniang replied: "Yes, the king heard about it, but he still insists on giving you to General Fan." General Fan also said that he was willing to leave everything behind, just to be with you. It's just that...... It's just that the people of Lin Temple risked their lives to admonish, saying that if the king ignores the rumors, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people. The king still had his heart set on General Fan and fined the people of Linsi for three months. But having said that, General Fan couldn't force the king to give you to him, so he took a step back. Presumably, there is still room for a turn in this matter, so it is better for the girl to go to the banquet tomorrow and ask the king well. ”

When Xi Shi heard that Fan Li was willing to give up everything for her, just to be with her, he couldn't help but soften, thinking to himself, it turned out that he had already said everything about this.

"Okay."

Xi Shi only replied with one word, but Ling Niang smiled very comfortingly, and after two more words of persuasion, she also left.

Ling Niang thought about it while leaving, and only then did Fan Li find her, tell her about today's events, and ask her to help persuade Xi Shi to go to tomorrow's family banquet.

Ling Niang was a shrewd and capable person, and soon understood what Fan Li meant, and directly coaxed Xi Shi to move.

On the evening of the second day, as soon as Xi Shi finished her afternoon study, the people of Lin Temple invited her to go to the palace of the king.

Sure enough, the king, queen, and Fan Li were all seated.

After Xi Shi entered, the king and queen stared straight at Xi Shi, but Fan Li kept his head down.

After the queen sighed twice, she smiled softly and said to the king: "This Shih Tzu girl is really very unworldly and moving, and she is no longer the little girl she was a year ago. No wonder General Fan still misses others. ”

After speaking, the queen asked the maid to help Xi Shi sit beside her.

Xi Shi responded to the queen's greetings with a smile, feeling that the queen was a very elegant and dignified beautiful woman, and she was also soft when she spoke, always with a gentle smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Miss Shih Tzu, how many people are in your family?" The queen asked.

Xi Shi said bluntly: "Three people, only my parents and me. ”

The queen laughed again and said, "Then your parents should be proud of you." Although there are no boys in the parents, there is a girl who looks so good and has the ability to be as good as a boy. Luckily. ”

The king also accosted and said: "Yes, I remember that Fan Aiqing also told me at that time that there was a Yue girl named Xi Shi who answered the three questions he asked, and the answer made him feel admired. ”

The queen asked, "Oh? ”

King Yue patted Fan Li's shoulder and said with a smile: "Aiqing, you tell the queen." ”

Fan Li pulled a smile and returned: "Yes." ”

Then, the scene was repeated.

"At that time, the ministers were ordered by the king to choose beauties. These beauties must be beautiful, courageous, and able to understand our plans. Therefore, the three questions asked by the minister are: King Yue entered Wu as a slave, can he be ashamed to laugh? Shi Er replied, 'Humiliation bears the burden, and the husband is also.' ’； Then the minister asked, 'What should a woman do when the two countries are at war?' Shi Er replied, "If you are strong, you will serve the country, and if you are weak, you will retreat indoors." ’； Finally, the minister asked, 'Would you like to serve your family and country with me?' Shi Er's reply is, 'wish'. ”

Having said that, Xi Shi already understood that this dinner party wanted her to come around, and it was clearly to let her continue to go deep into the Wu Kingdom.

After Fan Li finished speaking, he still didn't dare to look at Xi Shi.

Although Xi Shi smiled, he stared at Fan Li with blazing eyes and said, "Why don't General Fan come and ask Shi'er again now to see if Shi'er's answer has changed." ”

Fan Li finally turned his head and glanced at Xi Shi, although his eyes were complicated, it was difficult to speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little delicate.

King Yue laughed twice and said, "The widow doesn't know if Miss Xi Shi's answer has changed, but the widow knows that General Fan's original intention has changed." ”

The queen still responded with a very face-saving face: "Oh? ”

King Yue continued: "The widow remembers how many setbacks and tribulations General Fan has experienced from an inconspicuous pawn to the current general. The widow knows that he wants to accompany the widow to revive the country and help the widow to dominate the world. But yesterday, the widow had a private chat with him, and he actually said that he was willing to give up everything in order to be with Miss Shih Tzu. It's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass. ”

After finishing speaking, the queen still smiled with King Yue very face-saving.

The embarrassed Xi Shi and Fan Li had no choice but to laugh dryly, but after the fake smile, the atmosphere was even more embarrassing, and Shengsheng turned the embarrassment of two people into the embarrassment of four people.
