At the end of July, the whole Su Mansion was busy preparing for Su Wan's ceremony, and Su Wan still ran on both sides of the palace every day.

Qi Yuan knew that she was about to die, and shouted to give her a beautiful dress.

"Sister Su Yun, take me out of the palace, there is a shop outside the palace that makes clothes, called Linxian Pavilion, the clothes there are all good-looking, and there are all kinds of foreign costumes! Your gift, I want to give a set of Nan Yao's clothes, I think Nan Yao's clothes are the best. Qi Yuan said excitedly.

Su Yun thought to herself, don t think that I don t know that you want to sneak out of the palace to play, just make clothes Her Royal Highness the princess commanded no, if you want to go out of the palace and say it directly.

Su Wan looked at Qi Yuan with a smile and pretended to think, "Let me think about it." ”

Qi Yuan pouted, looking at Su Yun expectantly with a pair of big eyes.

Su Wan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, you clean up and dress ordinary." ”

"Good!" Qi Yuan nodded vigorously, his expression very serious.

Su Yun was waiting for Qi Kite to change his clothes in the Pearl Hall.

After a while, Qi Yuan was dressed in a lilac plain dress and stood in front of Su Yun with two balls on her head and smiled sweetly at her.

Su Wan looked at it, nodded and said, "It's okay."

Qi Yuan stepped forward and grabbed Su Yun's arm, "Go out of the palace!" ”

The streets are full of people.

Qi Yuan took Su Yun around, seemingly forgetting that the purpose of this trip was to go to Linxian Pavilion to make clothes.

"Wow! These are so cute! Sister Su Yun, look," Qi Yuan pulled Su Yun towards a small stall selling dolls.

The stall owner said enthusiastically: "The little girl likes to buy a few back!" These are all hot sellers this year! ”

Su Wan looked at these dolls, there were all kinds of them, and she was also attracted, and she was fascinated by Qi Kite.

Suddenly, Qi Yuan pointed to an expressionless puppet and said, "Sister Su Yun, look at this, this image doesn't look like my emperor...... Brother, it's not like it, hahaha. ”

Su Yun took a closer look, the puppet looked paralyzed, it looked cold, and it was really similar to Qi Yan, she thought it was funny, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more it looked.

"Like! It's so similar, why don't you buy this one and go back to him and see it? Haha, I think he's going to have a straight face and say no. That picture immediately appeared in Su Yun's mind.

"Sister Su Yun, this is you." She pointed to a female doll in a pink dress and said to Su Yun, and then pointed to another doll that looked like a child and said, "This is me."

Su Wan bought all three dolls and gave them to Qi Yuan, "Ahem, these three should be regarded as small gifts for your teacher." ”

Su Wan claimed to be a master for the first time, and he still had a serious face, and what he said was presentable.

Qi Yuan also nodded solemnly in cooperation, "Mmmm! I'll take care of them! ”

Su Yun's mood has fluctuated in recent days, thinking that it is because of Yun Sheng's departure. At this time, she looked at Qi Kite with a happy face, and the boredom in her heart dissipated.

After buying the dolls, they visited several places, and Qi Yuan and Su Wan were holding a string of sugar gourds.

Qi Yuan stared blankly at the sugar gourd in his hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

Su Wan looked at her and smiled, "Little kite, you haven't eaten sugar gourds, have you?" ”

Qi Yuan raised his head when he heard this, "Hmm......"

Growing up in the deep palace, it's no wonder.

Su Wan touched Qi Kite's head, "Try it, you'll definitely like it." ”

Qi Yuan tasted it, and his eyes widened instantly, and stars appeared in his eyes, "It's delicious!" Sweet and sour, I like it! ”

Su Yun also gave her string to Qi Yuan, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

Qi Yuan happily held two strings of sugar gourds and ate them with a satisfied face.

Even though Qi Yan and Qi Yuan's brothers and sisters died early, Qi Yuan was still well taken care of, except for being delicate and frail and easily getting sick, everything else was fine. Su Wan thought to herself, she grew up in an indifferent place like the palace since she was a child, but she was still so sunny and smiling, innocent and easy to satisfy, it seemed that Qi Yan protected this sister very well.

When the two of them were tired of shopping, Qi Yuan remembered to go to Linxian Pavilion.

"Oops, I had so much fun that I forgot about business!" Qi Yuan stomped his feet, and finally remembered what was going on.

Su Wan just smiled and looked at her without speaking.

You little brat, what can you remember besides eating and playing?

Qi Yuan pulled Su Yun and trotted up, "Sister Su Yun, come with me!" ”

Su Yun said funny: "Little kite, weren't you still tired just now?"

"Your business can't be delayed, no matter how tired you are, you have to go to Linxian Pavilion!" Qi Yuan said firmly.

The two came to Linxian Pavilion.

The style of Linxian Pavilion is very unique, integrating the elements of several ethnic groups, which not only have clothing, but also jewelry, rouge gouache, beauty cream, fine spices and so on.

There are very few customers inside, and the clothes are all ladies and ladies of rich and noble families.

"What do you two guest officers need? Yu Niang can recommend some of our new rouge gouache here to the two of you. The person who spoke was dressed in a dark red dress, his long hair was slightly pulled up, and his facial features did not look like Jing Zhaoren.

Qi Yuan said: "I want to make a Nan Yao's skirt for this sister, how to look good and how to do it."

Hearing this, Yu Niang looked at Su Wan and smiled politely, "Okay, this girl, please follow me to measure the size." ”

After Su Wan finished measuring the size with Yu Niang, Yu Niang asked some questions about her preferences, and when she came out, she didn't see Qi Kite.

"What about the little girl who came with me?" Su Wan asked.

Yu Niang replied: "I'll ask about the girl here." Peaches, where did the little girl who came with this girl go? ”

Yu Niang asked loudly a girl who was wiping the table.

The girl replied: "I don't know what happened outside, the little girl went out, by the way, she has already paid the deposit, saying that the clothes are not enough to make up after they are made."

Su Wan said, "Thank you, girl." Then hurried away.

What happened, why didn't she leave without saying a word, this kid is really not worry-free, Su Wan sighed in her heart, but don't have an accident.

Su Yun was worried, and suddenly heard the fierce quarrel and chatter in front of her, as if Qi Yuan was arguing with others.

She stepped forward, and sure enough, it was Qi Kite, and the person who quarreled with her was standing next to a very luxurious carriage, looking like a maid from a rich family.

"He is a slave of my family, our wife said, you don't need to treat him as a human being, how can I treat him with your little hairy girl?" The maid looked very arrogant, and when she spoke, she looked like no one in her eyes and squinted at Qi Kite.

Su Yun saw that there was a young man kneeling on the ground, his clothes were so dirty that he couldn't see the original color, his hair was messy, he shouldn't have been taken care of for a long time, and his wrists were bruised in many places, so it was conceivable that his body must be scarred.

Presumably, Qi Yuan stepped forward to theorize when she saw this maid bullying this young man, it seems that she wants to save this poor young man.

There was a large group of people who were watching the show, all talking about it, and the young man lowered his head and couldn't see his expression.

"You are presumptuous!" Su Wan stepped forward and shouted, "You little maid dare to speak to my young lady like this!" ”

can't reveal Qi Kite's identity as a princess, she can only say that she is a young lady.

When Qi Yuan saw Su Yun, her eyes lit up, and she pulled Su Yun aside and whispered, "Sister Su Yun, I want to save this brother."

The scene in front of her reminded her of the first time she saw Da Yezi many years ago, and she was full of emotion. She can understand Qi Kite's thoughts, but this matter is a little complicated, just now the girl said that this young man is a slave of her family, looking at the previous situation, he must have been abused often, and the only way to help him is to buy him and let him escape from the abuse of his master.

Su Wan thought about it for a while, "We can only buy him, let's see what the other party has to say first." ”

Su Wan turned to the maid and said, "My young lady said that she is willing to buy this slave, so you can make a price."

A middle-aged woman's voice came from the carriage, "Oh? Buy him? The woman let out a shrill laugh, "Are you still willing to buy such a cheap thing?" What's the use of buying? ”

Qi Yuan clenched her fists in anger when she heard this, and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Su Yun, "Don't be impulsive, I'll talk to her." ”

I didn't expect that Qi Yuan, who has always been gentle and well-behaved, would also want to beat someone, Su Yun thought to herself, this person is really ugly, if it weren't for Qi Yuan here, she didn't want to make a big fuss about Qi Yuan, she would have rushed up to teach them a lesson.

"Madame, you don't care what we bought it for, you can make a price." Su Wan shouted at the woman in the carriage.

"A thousand taels of gold." The woman sneered, thinking to herself that at this price, if they couldn't afford it, they should be slapped in the face, and if they did, oh, if this cheap bone could make her such a large sum of money, why not?

Su Wan thought to herself, it's really ruthless.

Qi Yuan immediately agreed, "Deal!" ”

The young man who was kneeling on the ground looked up at Qi Yuan when he heard this, his face was full of stains, his eyes were very clear, his eyes were doubtful, disbelief, hope, and gratitude.

A thousand taels of gold is not worth mentioning to Qi Kite, so why not use it to save people.

Su Wan thought to herself, ouch, my good princess, don't you wait for me to cut the price? That's a thousand taels of gold......

Although he thought so in his heart, Su Wan was still serious on his face, "Did you hear that?" My young lady agreed. ”

The women in the carriage were silent for a moment, thinking that they didn't expect them to be so cheerful and respond in one bite.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was drawn, and the woman came down, dressed in fine clothes, and looking to be in her forties, but in good shape.

She looked at Su Yun and Qi Yuan, "Who are you?" ”

Su Wan said angrily: "You don't care who we are, just now we have agreed to the price you offered, and we are going to buy him right now."

The woman sneered, "Okay, ask your people to bring money to the Zhou Mansion in the south of the city." ”

With that, she turned and went back to the carriage.

After they left, Su Yun said to Qi Yuan, "Little Kite, follow me to Su Mansion."

When Su Wan returned to Su Mansion, she instructed her subordinates to put 1,000 taels of gold that the emperor had rewarded her with.

Qi Yuan said: "When I return to the palace, I will send someone to send 1,000 taels of gold to the general's mansion."

Su Wan refused: "Little kite, you don't have to be polite, I have to leave this money behind, so it's better to use it to save people."

Although the thousand taels of gold were lost like this, Su Wan was a little distressed, and regretted that she didn't have time to bargain - this kind of thrifty virtue was learned by her when she was in Qingyun Mountain and the Shadow Scar, but with her friendship with Qi Yuan, her business is her own business, and the money can be paid without Qi Yuan.

But Qi Yuan shook her head, "Sister, today is the one I want to save that brother, and I will pay you back the money." ”

Su Yun knew Qi Yuan's temperament, so he didn't say anything more and nodded in agreement.

The two took people to the Zhou Mansion in the south of the city, and before returning to the house, Su Wan inquired about the background of the Zhou family, Master Zhou made a fortune by doing business in his early years, but he only had one wife, I heard that Master Zhou was a strict wife, and he was afraid that his wife would be tight.

"I don't know what you think, hey, whatever, this has to give him a bite to eat if he stays in my house, so I'll leave it to you." Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up when she saw the gold, but she pretended to be a gesture, "Bring that cheap bone up." ”

Qi Yuan glared at Mrs. Zhou, "This person will be mine in the future, I don't allow you to call him like that again!" ”

Mrs. Zhou laughed exaggeratedly, "Ouch, you little girl, why are you so fierce at such a young age?" ”

Qi Yuan didn't speak again, turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

The man was kicked and fell to his knees after being brought up.

Qi Yuan hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "Brother, are you okay?"

The young man slowly raised his head and met a pair of clear eyes, his heart trembled, the concern and distress in the little girl's words were so real.

It's been a long time since no one cared about him, he was treated like a slave every day, he was not even as good as a dog in the Zhou Mansion, and over time, even he himself forgot that he was a living person, numbly treating himself as an emotionless object.

He wanted to answer her, but he couldn't say the words when they came to his mouth, and he only nodded with mixed feelings in his heart.

Qi Kite helped him up, the young man stepped back slightly, staring at Qi Kite's hand, her hand was white and tender, in stark contrast to his own, he subconsciously shrank his hand and kept his distance from Qi Kite.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, only smiled softly at him.

This smile is as bright as a peach blossom in March, gentle as a breeze in April, and it is deeply imprinted in his heart.

After Su Yun took the previous title deed, he was shocked to find that this young man turned out to be the son of Master Zhou!

She looked at Mrs. Zhou suspiciously, and Mrs. Zhou sneered, "What? Do you have any questions? ”

Su Wan stared at Mrs. Zhou, "Mrs. Zhou sold Master Zhou's son like this, aren't you afraid that he will know?" ”

Qi Yuan was also unbelievable when she heard this, she actually tortured Master Zhou's son as a slave in every way!

Mrs. Zhou looked at the young man in disgust and said coldly, "He's just a sinister seed!" Not worthy of being the son of the Zhou family! I can call the shots about his affairs, you don't have to worry about the lord coming to the door in the future, this deed of origin and body is given to you, even if the lord regrets it in the future, the person is also yours, and he can't manage it if he wants to. ”

Also, regardless of his background first, it's not too late to ask him at the right time, let's settle him down first.

Su Yun and Qi Yuan took the young man out of the Zhou Mansion.

The boy stood cautiously and reservedly in front of the carriage.

Qi Yuan stretched out his hand to him, "Brother, don't be afraid. ”

The young man hesitantly stretched out his hand and boarded the carriage, Qi Yuan sat beside him, looked at the scars on his hands, and said distressedly: "They are really too much, it hurts, right?"

The boy shook his head, it was very painful at first, but then he didn't feel it anymore when he became numb, and he ...... It's all gone now.

He saw that Qi Kite's eyes were already full of tears, and he was afraid that she would cry, so he hurriedly said, "No...... It doesn't hurt...... Don't worry......

Qi Yuan listened to him for the first time, smiled happily, the tears in his eyes had not receded, he looked silly and cute, and the young man's heart melted.

Su Yun looked at the young man and said lightly: "Let's go to the inn first, you go take a good bath and take care of it, and then take you to the hospital later."

The boy nodded stiffly and pursed his lips.

When he arrived at the inn, Su Yun opened a room for the young man and asked him to take a bath, and he and Qi Yuan ordered some good wine and food and sat and waited for him.

The boy took off his tattered clothes and looked at his body, which was covered in bruises and ugly.

He scrubbed his body inch by inch, and those old and new scars interpreted his unbearable past.

These humiliations were a wound in his heart, and he once thought that one day he would find an opportunity to take revenge on Mrs. Zhou, but now, ...... Unlike in the past, he never thought that someone would give him hope and pull him out of a desperate situation.

At the dinner table, Su Wan was preoccupied.

She thought of Da Yezi, she also met Da Yezi when she was as old as Qi Yuan, and the two of them cut off contact with her after they left Yinzhou, and I don't know how they are doing now.

"What's the matter, Sister Su Yun, you seem to have something on your mind." Qi Yuan asked.

"Nothing, it's just...... I remembered an old man. ”

Qi Yuan didn't speak again, looking down and thinking about something.

Su Wan glanced at her, "Are you thinking about how to settle him?" ”

"Hmm." Qi Yuan said, "I want him to enter the palace and be a guard in the Pearl Palace." ”

Su Wan thought for a moment, "It's okay." ”

Qi Yuan said: "Sister Su Yun, let's let him live in the General's Mansion for a few days first?" I'll wait until I'm done to let him enter the palace. ”

Su Wan bowed, "Okay." ”

After the young man washed it, he changed into clean clothes, his black hair was untied, and he came to Qi Kite.

Qi Yuan looked up at him, it turned out that he was so good-looking, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a high nose bridge, thinking that his mother must be a beauty.

Qi Yuan said kindly: "Sit down, you must be hungry, I'll order a few more dishes, you can eat well."

The boy's lips moved slightly, "Thank you." ”

Qi Yuan said: "Brother is not polite. What is your name? ”

The young man looked at Qi Yuan and said seriously, "Please give me a name."

It was already dark, and the autumn wind was roaring, Qi Yuan thought for a while and said, "Then you can call Mingfeng."

The boy said, "Yes."

Naruto gulped down his food, apparently starving. Qi Yuan looked at him quietly, her eyes full of distress and sympathy.

He found that Qi Yuan was looking at him, and gradually slowed down, taking one bite at a time, and eating slowly.

Qi Yuan handed him a glass of water, "Don't worry, drink some water." ”

He took the glass and said, "Thank you."

After Mingfeng finished eating, Qi Yuan asked, "Are you the son of Master Zhou?" It stands to reason that you are the young master of the Zhou family, why did Mrs. Zhou treat you like this? ”

Mingfeng blew down his eyes, "My mother is from Jiangcheng, she was just an ordinary girl selling fish before she met Master Zhou, and then she met Master Zhou, she didn't know that he had a family, fell in love with him, and gave birth to me, at that time, Master Zhou was still young, because he was out in business all year round, so Mrs. Zhou did not find out about him and my mother." Every time he talked about business in Jiangcheng, he lived in my house, and at that time we already lived in a big house, which he bought single-handedly, and every time he returned to the capital, he told my mother to go out to talk about business and transport goods, and my mother never doubted it. ”

"Later, when I was eight years old, Mr. Zhou did not return for a year, and my mother became seriously ill and was bedridden until she ...... She died...... Master Zhou didn't come back to see her......" The young man's expression was painful when he said this, and he seemed to be about to cry, he slowed down and continued, "My mother told me before leaving, Master Zhou is in the capital, let me go to him." Later, when I went to the capital to inquire, I learned that he already had a family. I went to Zhou's house, he was not at home at the time, it was Mrs. Zhou who received me, when she knew that I was the son of Master Zhou, her attitude towards me became very bad, she asked someone to lock me in the firewood room, three days and three nights did not give me food, on the fourth day when Master Zhou returned home, only to know that I came to the capital, I was already hungry and faint. ”

"I woke up on a bed with some food on the table. Master Zhou came to see me and asked about my mother's condition. When he knew that my mother had died, he wept bitterly...... I hated him very much at the time, he deceived our mother and son, he didn't come to see her when my mother died, I haven't called him 'dad' since then, after my mother died, I was still young and helpless, Master Zhou left me in Zhou's mansion, Mrs. Zhou regarded me as a thorn in the flesh in the eye, and I was not as good as a subordinate, Master Zhou turned a blind eye. When I was ten years old, Mrs. Zhou intended to kill me, poisoned my food, I walked away from the ghost gate, thanks to Mr. Zhou sent me to the doctor for timely diagnosis and treatment, I picked up a life, Mr. Zhou was angry with Mrs. Zhou, and later he said, as long as it does not hurt my life, Mrs. Zhou does not care what she wants to me...... You know the rest of the story......"

After listening to Ming Feng's words, Su Yun and Qi Yuan both fell silent, feeling sorry for his tragic life experience.

After going to the hospital to buy the medicine, Su Yun took Ming Feng back to the general's mansion and arranged a place for him to live.

"Mingfeng, you first recuperate in Su Mansion for a few days, and I'll pick you up when I'm arranged." Qi Yuan said to Ming Feng before leaving.

After Qi Yuan left, Su Yun asked Ming Feng, "Do you know who she is?"

Naruto replied, "I don't know."

"The crown prince is her royal brother, and she is the only princess of the dynasty, Qi Kite." Su Wan looked at Ming Feng, "The princess insists on saving you, from now on you are his person, after a while she will send someone to take you into the palace and be a guard in her palace, remember that people are unpredictable, you don't believe anyone except her, little kite, she is simple-minded, you have to protect her." ”

Ming Feng replied solemnly: "Ming Feng has written it down."

"Go down and rest."

"Miss, you are also Mingfeng's benefactor, Mingfeng has thanked you here." Ming Feng saluted Su Yun, "Ming Feng retreats." ”

Su Yun sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky, full of sorrow.

Tomorrow is the first day of the eighth month, Yun Sheng has not heard from him, I don't know if he will be able to come back before she and Lu.
