Early in the morning, the sun gently pours into the house, and the birds outside the house are jumping and chirping in the branches. Xi Shi stretched his waist and snorted, then began to get dressed and washed and groomed, and then found Zheng Dan to go downstairs together.

There were a few individual guests in the lobby, and when they saw the two beauties coming out together, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Two girls, please sit down, General Fan is practicing swords in the backyard, and the little one is going to invite the general." With that, he strode to the backyard.

After a while, Fan Li walked over while talking to Xiao Er. Xiao Er nodded and ran away after listening.

Fan Li walked straight over and said to them, "Do the two girls have anything else to buy?" After dinner, we set off and arrived at the royal capital in the afternoon. ”

Xi Shi looked at Fan Li's expression as usual, thinking that he was afraid that he was too careful last night, and he forgot to reply to Fan Li's words.

"If you have time, can the general send someone to buy some lotus pods and come back?" Zheng Dan asked.

Xi Shi's heart warmed after listening to it, and what she said casually in the carriage yesterday was remembered by Sister Zheng Dan.

"Miss Zheng Dan likes to eat lotus pods?" Fan Li asked: "There are lotus pods in the royal capital, why don't you go to the royal capital to taste the lotus pods in the royal capital?" ”

Zheng Dan hurriedly said: "But Shi'er wants to eat, and besides, there is no ...... in Lutu."

"I'll buy it." Before Zheng Dan finished speaking, Fan Li got up to leave.

Zheng Dan was stunned, and Xi Shi hurriedly called Fan Li: "General!"

Fan Li turned his head to look at Xi Shi, and Xi Shi said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, the general will eat first." It was also a casual sentence I said yesterday, but Sister Zheng Dan helped me remember it. ”

Fan Li said again: "It's okay, I'll buy it now, you, you eat more tender." With that, he walked away quickly.

Zheng Dan raised his forehead and sighed: "General Fan seems to have become stupid." After a pause, he asked, "Why don't you let someone buy it?" ”

Before Xi Shi could answer, the shopkeeper came in with food.

Xi Shi was not used to eating these foods, so he often picked lotus pods and fruits to fill his stomach, and he still had no appetite today, so he only drank some porridge as breakfast.

After the meal, I saw that Fan Li had not come back yet. Zheng Dan took Xi Shi to the house to dress up carefully. Xi Shi summoned Xiao Er and asked him to heat up the meal and wait for the general to come back and continue to eat. Then he went upstairs with Zheng Dan to dress up.

In the past few days in Lai Luo Village, Fan Li has bought them a lot of luxurious clothes, exquisite jewelry, rouge gouache and other items. After dressing up, Zheng Dan didn't know how to choose a dress. Looking at so many skirts, Zheng Dan was confused, and hurriedly asked Xi Shi to help choose. Xi Shi thought that Zheng Dan had always loved to wear purple clothes, so he chose a lilac dress.

Zheng Dan disliked the color after putting it on, and Xi Shi explained: "This time we entered the palace not only our two sisters, but also the king alone. It's good to be beautiful, and you don't have to show it off. After speaking, Xi Shi transferred another elegant bamboo flute to help Zheng Dan hold it.

Zheng Dan sighed: "Shi'er, I protect you everywhere, but I always feel that you are the sister." ”

Xi Shi smiled: "Then Sister Zheng Dan, I have to listen to Sister Shi'er more in the future~"

Zheng Dan was about to tickle her when he heard her laugh, Xi Shi hurriedly ran away, opened the door and was about to run into his house, but he didn't want to directly crash into someone's arms.

Fan Li just went upstairs to call them, and was about to knock on the door, when he saw Xi Shi open the door and ran out with a smile and pretended to be full of arms. Xi Shi was delicate and soft, Fan Li was anxious that she would fall, so he hurriedly held Xi Shi's shoulder with one hand, and hugged her with the other hand, so as to prevent Xi Shi from falling. Xi Shi fell into Fan Li's arms, grabbed Fan Li's chest with one hand, and held Fan Li's arm with the other, his apricot eyes were wide open, and he was stunned in place, and the air was still as if condensed at this moment.

"Knock, knock......"

Xi Shi felt the sound of Fan Li's violent heartbeat coming from his subordinates, as if there was a muffled thunder in the air, which was particularly obvious.

Fan Li's body was stiff, and he didn't know what to do for a while, he just hoped that the person in his arms would not move, and his heart would not beat so fast, but he didn't want to swallow his saliva while being nervous. Xi Shi was also nervous when he slept, and he couldn't help but start coughing.

"Fan Li!" Zheng Dan was the first to come to his senses, and shouted the name of the general outside the door very shamelessly, and when he came up, he was about to roll up his sleeves and beat Fan Li out.

Fan Li hurriedly apologized after receiving a powder punch: "It's rude!" With that, he turned around and hurried downstairs.

Looking at Zheng Dan's angry little face, Xi Shi took her hand and shook it and said, "Sister Mo Qi, I just played around and didn't pay attention to the door before I bumped into General Fan, if he avoided Shi Er, it would be miserable, don't blame him." ”

Zheng Dan saw that Xi Shi didn't care, so he changed, but he still had a black face, packed up his things with Xi Shi and went downstairs.

Fan Li downstairs was talking to the slave, and after listening to it, the slave withdrew with two bags of things. Hearing the coming, Fan Li turned around and apologized again, and saw that the two of them didn't care anymore before they began to say: "The things that the girl wants have been put into the girl's carriage, if you are ready, we can set off." ”

Zheng Dan didn't want to pay attention to him, so Xi Shi answered Fan Li and took Zheng Dan to the car.

Sure enough, there were two bags of things on the carriage, and the cushions on the seats were also added a few more layers. The two of them opened the package, and one package was food, with six bunches of lotus flowers, fruits such as peaches and plums, and some snacks such as honey bait. The other package is to write gadgets, bamboo dragonflies, bamboo horses, and some bizarre clay dolls.

"General Fan, is this our child?" Zheng Dan looked at these toys and couldn't cry or laugh, but Xi Shi carefully picked them up, and picked up a clay doll and looked at it carefully and laughed.

Zheng Dan was really curious when he saw this, and he also leaned over to look, it turned out that the clay doll was pinched into her appearance, and the word "Zheng Dan" was engraved on the soles of her feet.

"Didn't the people in the town pinch out the 'Huansha Shuangshu'? Hurry up and find out if there is any you~" Zheng Dan anxiously went to pull the pile of toys, "Eh, I found it, Shi'er, your clay figure is holding your heart." ”

Xi Shi looked at Zheng Dan and couldn't put it down with the toy, and couldn't help laughing: "Who said that others treat themselves as children?" ”

Zheng Dan snorted, put the two clay figurines together, and went to find other clay figurines, pulling Xi Shi to play at home. Xi Shi played with her for a while, and under the pretext that she was hungry, she began to peel the lotus pod, peel one and eat one, peel one and feed Zheng Dan to eat, and then peel another and put it in the square scarf. Zheng Dan was tired of playing and began to peel the lotus pod to eat, looking at the peeled lotus pod in the Xi Shi square scarf and asked strangely, "What is this for?" ”

Xi Shi smiled, and while wrapping the peeled lotus pod, he took out another piece of cloth and wrapped some dim sum pastries, as well as some fruits.

"General Fan helped us collect these things early in the morning, and when we came back, we made such a fuss, and we must have not had time to eat yet."

With that, Xi Shi got up and opened the curtain and called the general. Fan Li turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw Xi Shijiao's beautiful face smiling at him, and handed him two bags of items in his hand. Fan Li took it and looked at Xi Shi, Xi Shi smiled at him and retreated.

The road into the palace is getting wider and wider, the carriage is getting faster and faster, the scenery outside the window is gradually becoming prosperous from the green mountains and green waters, Xi Shi Zheng Dan understands that he has arrived in the capital, and soon he will arrive at the palace.

The crowd outside the car was bustling, which reduced the tension in Xi Shi's heart. But the further he went, the more people became quieter, and when he was about to reach the palace, there was a little sweat in Xi Shi's palm.

Seeing that Xi Shi was nervous, Zheng Dan shook Xi Shi's hand and asked her to relax: "It's okay, Shi'er, I'm here." ”

Xi Shi nodded, opened the curtain and looked out of the car, and saw the high wall in front of him, majestic.

The carriage stopped slowly, Fan Li jumped down from the car, looked at Xi Shi at the window, and stopped for a long time before saying, "Girl, it's time to the palace." ”

Traces of the battle three years ago can still be seen on the walls of the royal palace after the war. Fortunately, the king of Yue was humiliated in Wu and gave Yue three years of recuperation and rest. Although the mottled high walls are not so ornate, they can hardly hide the majesty and domineering of the imperial capital. The heavy wall color made Xi Shi a little breathless, and he just wanted to get out of here quickly.

"Let's go." Xi Shi said lightly.

Along the way, the palace wall is majestic, and the winding water is secluded. Xi Shi originally thought that he would go directly to see King Yue, but he was led to a secluded courtyard, which was simple and elegant, with pavilions and corridors running through, which was particularly pleasant.

"This is the residence of the two girls, Huanyue Pavilion. A few girls who had come a few days ago had already rested in the nearby courtyard, and two more girls would come later, and they would see each other at the dinner. The two girls will rest here first, and the maid will take them to the dinner party in the evening. Fan Li explained a few words, and then he was about to leave.

Xi Shi hurriedly called: "General, what do we have to prepare?" ”

Fan Li thought for a while and said, "You don't have to be too public, just be modest and polite." After a pause, he said to Shih Tzu, "Remember why you came." But don't worry, I'll be there for dinner, too. ”

Xi Shi understood, thanked Fan Limu for sending him away before entering the hall with Zheng Dan.

Before the two of them finished packing their bags, they heard someone visiting outside. It turned out that the first few girls came to come to Huanyue Pavilion to see "Huansha Shuangshu". As soon as they came, they were arranged into a palace room, while Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were arranged alone in the Huanyue Pavilion. The girls thought to themselves, presumably the two of them must be the best of the beauties to get such an honor.

Xi Shi saw the three beauties coming, thinking that they should be the same identity as himself, so he went out with Zheng Dan to greet them.

"I've long heard that this Huanyue Pavilion is going to welcome two peerless beauties, but now it's disappointing to see it." A brightly dressed woman said to her companion: "It's just two yellow-haired girls, how can they be sent to the palace." ”

The woman who spoke had a delicate and sticky voice, a flirtatious tone, and an arrogant expression. The woman in yellow who came with her looked very easy to get along with, and answered the words of the gorgeous woman with a smile: "You haven't seen what other people look like up close, so you promised me to speak well." ”

The two laughed a few words, and finally entered the courtyard slowly. When I walked into Xi Shi, I saw a woman in white behind the two, the woman looked indifferent and never spoke.

Xi Shi still took it with a smile, and suddenly smelled a subtle fragrance, which seemed to come from the gorgeous woman.

Xi Shi came back to his senses, as if he hadn't heard what he had just said, and affectionately called out to the three sisters: "Xi Shi has seen the three sisters, Sister Zheng Dan and I are planning to finish collecting things and go to meet the sisters, but I didn't expect the sisters to come first, please forgive me." ”

The gorgeous woman looked at Xi Shi a few more times and said, "You don't have to be so polite. It's just that you are not in your prime, why were you also sent to the palace? ”

Zheng Dan chuckled: "Serving the country with your body, no matter how young you are, it doesn't matter." ”

The woman in white glanced at Zheng Dan when she heard this, and then turned her head away.

The woman in yellow stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Xi Shi's hand: "Sister Xi Shi, your sister Zheng Dan is really a model for my generation." After hearing that, we will first practice in the palace before we can go to the kingdom of Wu. ”

"Practice?" Xi Shi asked.

"Yes, I'm not a royal relative, so naturally I have to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well before I can go to Wu to serve King Wu." The woman in yellow replied.

The girl in yellow only said a few words, and everyone didn't bother to care about the unhappiness of just a moment. Xi Shi also invited a few people into the hall to sit down.

As soon as a few people sat down, Zheng Dan asked curiously, "Haven't you asked your sisters for their names?"

The woman in yellow was the first to speak: "My name is Meng Qiyu, and I know how to do it." It's sixteen this year, and if the two younger sisters don't mind, just call me Sister Meng. ”

Xi Shi and Zheng Dan hurriedly called "Sister Meng".

Meng Qiyu responded with a smile and squeezed the hand of the gorgeous woman next to her.

The gorgeous woman coughed lightly, and said in a lazy and coquettish voice: "Su Yi." Huijiren's. ”

Xi Shi Zheng Dan knew that she was also older than them, and still called out obediently, "Sister Su." ”

It was the turn of the woman in white, who had not spoken, and the woman was as indifferent as before, and only said her name: "Mu Li." ”

Xi Shi Zheng Dan couldn't tell Mu Li's age, and he didn't know what to call it, so he looked hesitant.

Meng Qiyu hurriedly relieved the siege: "Mu Li is fourteen this year, and he should be older than you." ”

After calling Mu Lisheng "Sister Mu", Xi Shi and Zheng Dan also introduced themselves to them. A few people exchanged a few words, and wanted to make an appointment with Xi Shi Zheng Dan and the two to meet the two girls who came behind in the afternoon.

"It seems that a total of seven people have been elected to the palace, is it possible, we are all going to be sent to the Wu Kingdom?" Zheng Dan asked suspiciously.

Xi Shi pondered for a while, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." I'm afraid that some girls won't go yet. ”

Zheng Dan suddenly said: "Oh! Are you talking about Mu Li? However, didn't General Fan say that only those who volunteer can come? ”

Xi Shi sighed and said, "Didn't you notice that each of the five of us has a different personality?" You are sincere and straightforward, Meng is empathetic, Su Yi is soft and gorgeous, and Mu is alienated from the dust. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Shi seemed to have discovered something interesting, a smile rose on his lips, and he said, "Sister." You say, what is the style of the two girls after the afternoon? ”

"This ...... General Fan wants to collect various 'styles' of beauties to give to King Wu, so as to ensure that there is always one of the beauties he likes? The more Zheng Dan spoke, the more he felt a headache, "I just entered the palace, and before I saw King Yue, I first saw how this beauty trick was played, which was really a headache." It's useless to think too much, Shi'er, how can you still laugh? ”

Xi Shi touched Zheng Dan's head with a smile and said, "I just thought of it suddenly and thought it was interesting." ”

Zheng Dan pouted, thinking that if he knew a little less about this thing in the palace, he would be happier. Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled Xi Shi to rest.
