Chapter 6: The Reception Banquet

Jing An and Jing Yun had their own thoughts in their hearts, the two of them wanted to live this life plainly, but they never thought that they would be involved in this secular imperial power, so they had to sigh at the coincidence of fate.

"Hey, senior brother, the matter has come to this point, it is no longer something you and I can control, since we can't get out, it is better to do what we are doing at the moment, these worldly people can only take one step at a time."

"What the junior sister said is not unreasonable, since it is impossible to break this fateful arrangement, why not accept the reality calmly, and not let yourself end up worrying all day long. Senior sister, unconsciously, this month has climbed the treetops, it is better to go back to rest early, there is still a little chill on the mountain in March, go back early to avoid contracting the wind cold. ”

"Senior brother, remember that tomorrow I will come to watch the wind, and my sister will prepare a little wine and food for you, and wash the dust in the wind."

"Hahaha, it must be, it's hard for my sister to be gracious."

The wind in the forest slowly descended like the last sigh of the earth. The leaves of the birch tree rustle in this gentle blow, playing a natural music. The sunset paved with brilliant colors, like the most magnificent brocade. The busy figure of Yunshang is particularly eye-catching in this tranquil cherry color. The reception banquet arranged by the master was Yunsheng doing the work, and Jingyun only had to cook, so it naturally fell on the little Yunsheng.

At this banquet, Master Jingyun said: "Senior brother, this is the Baihua wine I brewed myself. Collect the cold crisp in the month of Nala, and use the thousands of purples and thousands of reds on my Duling Peak to make this cup of good drink when the first flowers bloom in the next year. This wine is not as spicy as that, the entrance is sweet, senior brother, senior sister toast you. ”

Daoist Jing'an didn't shirk either, "Senior sister has a heart, this cup will be dry for my brother." I saw him raise his hand and look up, and he ate a glass of wine. It's also neat and chic.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you to these dishes. Although it is wild game in the mountains and forests, it has a unique taste. This dish is peach blossom salmon, the meat of the fish is tender and delicious, and it is a special feature that can only be found in this season. This dish is pear slices with steamed apricot chicken, this is rose white jade gourd cup, this is assorted tofu, this is shredded yam, this is ......"

Jiu'er was a little dazzled, although the master had never treated her badly, she was still a little hungry for so many delicious foods. Taking advantage of the fact that the master and uncle were catching up with the old and had no time to take care of her, she secretly tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it with her head down, for fear that people would see it. But just now, the falling dust glanced at her carelessly, and she was a little weak-hearted. One didn't pay attention and choked. She was so anxious that her head was sweating, and she didn't care about being embarrassed, so she grabbed something and drank it. By the time everyone came back to their senses, Jiu'er had drunk most of the Baihua wine, and at the end of the day, he swallowed the mouthful of meat with his mouth. She thought, this wine is quite delicious, sweet and silky, but her heart is a little hot,

Seeing this, Daoist Jing'an also laughed and said: "Senior sister, you have a good amount of wine, but you don't look drunk after taking this sip of wine."

Mrs. Jingyun was also very helpless, and said, "It makes my senior brother laugh, although this wine is a good wine, the stamina is very great, although Jiu'er often drinks my wine secretly, but it is indeed the first time to drink this Baihua wine." I don't know how long this girl will sleep tomorrow." Mrs. Shi sighed, "Yunsheng, you took Jiu'er back to the room to rest, but I'm afraid that it will be noisy in the second half of the night." ”

Yunshang agreed, and took Jiu Er away. Before leaving, I didn't forget to bring a few pieces of almond crisp to Jiu'er, but Jiu'er looked fine, but her feet were fluttering. Seeing that Yunshang couldn't take Jiu'er alone, the Taoist chief also sent Luochen to send the child back to the room. Although Luochen was reluctant, he didn't say anything. carried Jiu'er out of the door, followed by Yunsheng, and the three villains blended into the thick night.

When Mrs. Shi came out of Jiu'er's room and returned to the room, she found that something was wrong. A cold breath came from behind, although it was a little unhappy, but he didn't feel the murderous aura. When I turned around, I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with black hair like a waterfall, white clothes full of snow, golden silk thread curled cuffs, and a silver token pinned to his waist, with five characters written on it. Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a smile in the corner of the eye. Just looked at her quietly.

The man was the first to speak: "Mrs. Shi, don't come unharmed. ”

When Mrs. Shi saw that it was him, she was defenseless. said: "I don't know that King Yi sneaked into someone else's room at night, and I don't know why King Yi came here at this moment. ”

The man said, "Let the teacher laugh." Mingxuan came here at this moment, it was indeed inappropriate, and I hope that he did not disturb the master and the old man. Mingxuan's trip was originally to Luochuan, and when he passed through here, he thought that something needed to be handed over to Shitai for safekeeping. Between the changes of hands, he took out an agarwood box.

Although Mrs. Shi had doubts, she still didn't ask.

The man continued: "A few days ago, I sorted out my mother's relics and found this thing. I think it was left to Xiao Jiu by my mother, and I hope that she can use it when she is ready. This item is inconvenient to put here for me, and I hope that the master can keep it. ”

These five highnesses Fu Mingxuan is Jiu'er's own brother, and after the incident of that year, Fu Mingxuan entrusted Jiu'er to Mrs. Jingyun. Later, he would come here to visit Jiu'er from time to time, thinking that Fu Duqing, the king of Xiaowan, also gave permission, otherwise he Fu Mingxuan would not have acted so boldly. It seems that this royal matter is complicated and complicated, and it is not for a person like her outside the world to interfere.

Seeing this, Master Jingyun said, "Has the Fifth Highness seen her?" ”

Fu Mingxuan remembered the girl's blushing face and drooling, drunk and non-stop, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously smiled. "I've seen it, it's the teacher who taught it well, and Xiao Jiu has grown a lot taller."

Master Jingyun understands too well that this Jiu'er will one day return to the world that belongs to her. It's just that she is too pure and good, and she doesn't see the teeth and claws of this world, and she is filthy all over the place. Maybe she'll be scarred, maybe she'll be exhausted. But no matter what, she will take care of her.

Fu Mingxuan said: "Can Mrs. Shi know Xia Wan's appointment?"

Shi Tai had heard that Wan Guo had helped Xia Guo clear the chaos and determined its position in the Western Regions. It's just that each generation needs a princess to be in harmony with the Xia Kingdom to ensure that the Wan Kingdom is safe and healthy. Mrs. Shi said: "I know a little bit about it, and I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Fu Mingxuan beckoned and motioned for the dark guards beside him to retreat. "At that time, the father established the status of Wan with that battle, and in order to make peace between the two countries, the emperor of Xia proposed to form a covenant with Xia Wan. Each generation must have a princess go to the Xia Kingdom to make peace, which is a well-known agreement in the world. It's just that not all princesses can be friendly, only the youngest princess of Wanguo can become a candidate for harmony. I don't know why, after the mother concubine was pregnant with Xiao Jiu, the father and emperor were no longer close to the girl. Xiao Jiu became the one who was close to him. Back then, the mother concubine tried her best not to let the world know that Xiao Jiu was the last princess, and the teacher also understood the later things. However, recently, the father seems to have the intention of letting Xiao Jiu go to make peace, and several mothers in the harem are also ready to move, and Xiao Jiu's identity is afraid that it will not be long hidden. I hope that during this period, Shitai will be able to protect Xiao Jiuquan. ”

Master Jingyun said: "This is nature, Jiu'er is my youngest disciple, no matter what, I will protect her thoroughly." ”

"Also, inside the box, it's a pineapple wisteria." Fu Mingxuan said with a solemn face

Master Jing Yun was so shocked that he lost his mind for a while: "What, it's a phoenix wisteria, you- you- you are—"

Fu Mingxuan was always hesitant on the way down the mountain, he didn't know what the consequences would be if he said this, he just wanted to save his sister. But this person was finally depressed in his heart, and he had to find someone to talk to. "Feng Ye, wouldn't it be bad for you to say that I would leak the matter of my mother concubine to Mrs. Jingyun. Although there is a lot of relationship between their predecessors, the more people who know about it, the more panicked I become. ”

I only heard Feng Ye's voice coming from the forest: "Your Highness has decided, as long as it is for the princess, your subordinates are willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Fu Mingxuan was a little depressed, "I said you can't show your face and pretend to be cool." I'm asking you to give me advice, not to show you loyalty. Forget it, I won't tell you. I saw that he tapped his toes lightly, and flew down the mountain with light skills.

"Hey, you elm head can't chat, Your Highness shouldn't be looking for you, you should be looking for me." Another black-clad secret guard spoke, not seeing anyone, only hearing his voice. "I'm so good at Feng Yan, I will definitely be able to solve problems for His Highness," Feng Ye accelerated to catch up, but left Feng Ye behind, "Hey, Your Highness, Feng Ye, you wait for me." Only Feng Yan was left talking to himself in the wind.

Following

"Jiu'er, it's all three poles in the day, and you can't get up yet."

This Jiu'er drank Baihua wine by mistake at the banquet last night, which made her make a fuss for most of the night until it was almost dawn before falling asleep again, who knew that this sleep would come to this point.

"Senior sister, just let me sleep for a while, Jiu'er is dizzy."

"Who made you can't even tell the difference between wine and water last night, get up quickly, Senior Brother Luochen came to greet Master early in the morning, we should also go to meet Uncle Jing'an, if you don't get up, I will ask Senior Brother Luochen to come and see what you look like." Yunshang smiled sinister and walked out the door. But when she turned around again, Jiu'er was already dressed. It's not very neat, but it's up.

Yunshang combed Jiu'er's hair, sorted out her clothes and went to the hall together. Jing An, Jing Yun, and Luochen were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw the two of them coming out, Jing An smiled slightly, and Jiu'er also called out sweetly, "Uncle", but Yunshang was a little ashamed. After all, I was so late for the first morning, and ...... and was bumped into by Senior Brother Luochen.

"Okay, Yunshang, after Jiu'er has eaten, go to the back mountain with your uncle and brother to practice, and your uncle will teach you this swordsmanship in the future."

"Yes, Master."

"Luochen has been following me for two years, so if you don't know how to swordsmanship in the future, you can ask him more, of course, you can also learn from him, but remember to stop at the point."

Jing'an Daoren then showed them a set of relatively simple swordsmanship, which was as smooth as flowing clouds but also full of momentum. Seeing that Yunshang and Jiu'er were envious, they suddenly became interested.

Since then, every day at noon, the dust falls, Yunshang, and Jiu'er practice swords in the back mountain, and occasionally Jiu'er is naughty and will turn the dusty little face red, but the relationship between the three of them is heating up rapidly. Occasionally, they will go to play in the forest to release their childish nature, and the dust has also changed from the initial rejection to the later expectation. Before you know it, a few years have passed like a white horse.

Jiu'er has become more watery, Luochen has grown into a handsome son, and Yunshang is more like a slim lady.

"Senior brother, the sixth and ninth children of the first month are going back, senior brother, you should also leave."

"Well, time flies so fast, it's been nine years before I know it, it's time to go back."

"Senior brother, Yunshang recently learned a set of swordsmanship from the master, but the piano needs to be complementary, I heard that the senior brother can play, so I want to ask the senior brother to play for me, I don't know if the senior brother is willing."

Luochen thought for a while and then went back to the room to take out the piano case and stroke the piano for Yunshang.

As soon as the sound of the piano came out, the clouds moved with the sound, and their posture was soft and dancing. The already exquisite posture is set off by this dancing sword to make it more charming, but the dust is focused on the piano, and occasionally looks up but does not stop. He knew Yunshang's thoughts, but he only had a simple brother and sister relationship with her, and there was no love between men and women, and besides, he had more important things to do, and it was impossible to give up for the sake of this child's private feelings.

The sound of the piano was perfect, and Yunshang was also standing with a sword, she still looked at the warm and jade-like senior brother in front of her so affectionately, but her heart was so painful. She had been in love with him since she first saw him nine years ago, but she didn't understand it at the time, but as she grew older, she became more and more fond of Luochen, but it was always her unilateral liking.

"Senior brother's piano sound is really good, with senior brother's piano sound complementing each other, Yunshang's sword dance is meaningful."

"Senior sister is modest, this sword junior sister is already dancing well, and my piano sound is just a small foil. Senior sister, I went to find the master for something, so I won't accompany you, so don't be surprised. Luochen didn't want to stay with Yunshang longer, he didn't want to delay her, after all, she had a different identity and different responsibilities from him, and he didn't want Yunshang to be disappointed in the end.

"Well, if the senior brother has something to do, let's go and get busy first, and the senior sister will retire first." Although Yunshang was smiling as much as she could, she was still lonely in her eyes.

"Alas, junior sister, I hope you can forget me as soon as possible." Luochen looked at Yunsheng's back and thought.

After getting up and going back to the room, after cleaning up the piano, Jiu'er appeared in front of Luochen like a ghost. At this time, a smile appeared on Luochen's face, which showed that Luochen was not unable to devote himself to others because of his own mission, but it was just that he was not obsessed with Yunsheng.

"Senior brother, Jiu'er is leaving on the sixth day of junior high school, do you have anything to say to Jiu'er?" Jiu'er asked with a grin.

"Let's go, I'll be cleaner when I'm gone." Luochen said nonchalantly, but there was some sadness in his eyes.

"Jiu'er, a weak woman going down the mountain, aren't you afraid that something will happen to me?"

"What can happen to you, it's good if someone else doesn't have an accident."

"Hmph, senior brother, I know you're reluctant to let me go, right?"

"I'm not used to it."

"That'...... You can be my bodyguard so you can be with me." ”

"Nope."

"But Senior Brother Chen, you are the only boy I know among so many people in Du Lingfeng, Xiao Jiu is so well-behaved, you can't let Xiao Jiu be caught by the bad guys, be a maid!" Xiao Jiu tried his best to make himself look weaker, but he had enough to eat, and he had enough confidence to speak, and he didn't look like he was weak.

"Then it's good if you go back, if you continue to make trouble like this, that family is willing to marry you." Luochen was very calm, quietly watching her act there.

"Hmph, if you don't go, you won't go, really, you stubborn, unkind cold-blooded man." Xiao Jiu didn't want to stay any longer, sooner or later she would have to be angry with this senior brother of hers.

Luochen doesn't want to accompany her, it's just ......

"Senior brother, Jiu'er is leaving, and I don't know when and when I will see you in the future, but Jiu'er will come back to see you, you can't forget me, otherwise you want to look good." Jiu'er clenched her fists at Luochen, and her naughty appearance was still a little sad.

"Don't worry, I won't forget what I said."

"Senior brother, then I'm leaving, take care, there will be a period later."

Jiu'er and her brother had already gone down the mountain together, and he didn't say goodbye to her that day, for fear that one of them would not help but let him stay. When he arrived, he could only see a few small black dots moving non-stop, looking at Jiu'er's back, Luochen clenched his fists but was helpless.
