The eldest princess of the country protector looked at the mess in the hall, her face was extremely gloomy, and the children of the family were jumped by the chickens and dogs, although they have been planted over the years, but they have never been like this.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

The kind-eyed abbot, this will also have a solemn face, he apologized to the eldest princess, "Amitabha, please forgive the female benefactor." ”

The incense burner was tampered with, and Izumo Temple couldn't get out of it.

Not only the monks of Izumo Temple, but also the pilgrims were also suspicious, and no matter whether they had good incense or not, they were not allowed to leave.

The crowd was in a commotion, and there were a few people who were not angry, but because of the majesty of the royal family, they just dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and obediently stood in place and waited for the people of the princess's mansion and the palace to investigate thoroughly.

Xu'er had calmed down, but in order to prevent there were insects elsewhere, Gu Nian took Xu'er and Chen'er to the wing room to change clothes.

Bugs don't recognize human faces, there must be some kind of trigger for them to break through the ground.

The eldest princess and Princess Zhongyi were fine, but when they arrived at Gu Nian and Xu'er, something happened. It must be something about them that attracts bugs.

Come to think of it, it can probably only be the fragrance.

And both Xu'er and Chen'er have a special fragrance on their bodies.

Changing clothes here, and inspecting pilgrims and monks from Izumo Temple on the other side of the main hall.

More than half an hour later, Zhou Yuxuan arrived in a hurry with someone, and after meeting the eldest princess, he began to investigate, and then arranged for people to escort the female dependents down the mountain.

Hearing that Xu Er was almost injured, his lips pursed tightly.

If Zhou Yuxuan before was just a handsome man like many elegant men in the capital, then Zhou Yuxuan, who had traveled abroad for many years, had a straight back, like a vigorous pine and cypress standing proudly in the main hall.

The original fair-skinned and soft noodles have now become resolute, and after seeing Gu Nian leading Xu'er into the main hall, his face was suddenly dyed with a soft look.

Seeing Xu'er, he stepped forward and touched his head, "Xu'er, is there anything wrong?" ”

Although Xu'er rarely saw Zhou Yuxuan, this uncle would bring him a lot of different things every time, and would tell him a lot of stories he had never heard.

He shouted happily, "Uncle Xuan." ”

Zhou Yuxuan has been back in Beijing for a few days, but every time he comes back, he has to enter the palace first and explain to the emperor what happened outside and what happened in the places he walked.

Every time he goes out, it is a long time, so he has been left in the palace by the emperor these days.

He took Xu'er's hand and asked Gu Nian, "Cousin, you're not frightened, are you?" ”

Gu Nian shook his head, "Thank you, cousin, I'm fine." ”

In the current situation, it is not suitable to reminisce, and after Gu Nian thanked him, he stood beside the eldest princess and did not speak again.

Zhou Yuxuan beckoned behind him, "My little brother is from the Lingnan Miao family, and he has some research on poison, grandmother, let her look at those insects just now, maybe she can see a little way, Bai Feng, do you say yes?" ”

Gu Nian followed Zhou Yuxuan's line of sight, and noticed that there was a thin young man standing behind him, seeing that although her skin was a little dark, it was very delicate and smooth, her joints were small, and she had no Adam's apple, so she looked like she should be a woman.

Her heart moved slightly, but she still suppressed her doubts, and only listened to the eldest princess sincerely to the man, "Please take a look at this little brother, what is the origin of this worm." ”

The eldest princess listened to Mama Zhou's words, her heart was tumbling, she had been more and more suspicious of Jing Ning not dead recently, but now she didn't know where she had gone.

People have been scattered, whether it is looking for someone or checking the truth of the year, it is okay, but too long time has passed, and some threads have been erased, and it is not so easy to find out.

Now, with such a good opportunity in front of her, how could the eldest princess give up, not only for Gu Nian and Xu'er, but also for Jingning.

The woman named Bai Feng looked very innocent, she walked to the edge of the incense burner, and some of the insects that had just fallen from the air had turned into powder, and were blown by the wind and disappeared.

Fortunately, just now Mama Zhou wrapped one in a handkerchief and showed it to the eldest princess.

Bai Feng took the handkerchief, carefully looked at the insects that had turned into powder, twisted a little bit with his hand, twisted it in his hand repeatedly, put it on his nose and smelled it, and even licked a little bit with the tip of his tongue and smacked it in his mouth.

Her action made the people on the side look stupid, and Zhou Yuxuan asked, "Do you know what it is?" ”

Bai Feng glanced at him and said with a smile,

"This worm is not from our tribe, but I know that if you see blood in your throat, if you are bitten, you will be killed on the spot. However, it is not a real death, but a fake death.

Suspended animation lasted for three days, and if there was an antidote in between, the person could still live, but after three days, he didn't take the antidote, and he really died. ”

"When I died, I didn't know it, it was like I was dying in my sleep, so this bug is called 'Dream'"

Gu Nian's face changed, and he guessed in his heart that this girl named Bai Feng should be a Miao girl from Miao Jiang or something.

Lingnan is in the extreme south, there is a vast jungle, because the weather is hot, so poisonous dampness is easy to occur, poisonous insects and poisonous snakes are particularly numerous, ordinary people dare not approach those forests, but the people of the Miao family are not afraid of these poisons, but can restrain poisonous insects and beasts.

They use poison and detoxify the ability to find it difficult to find in the world, but because they are far away from the Central Plains and rarely get along with others, they are more withdrawn, and their customs and habits are different from those of the Central Plains, and they have their own set of standards.

It is rumored that most of the Miao girls are very beautiful, innocent and lively, straightforward and hearty, but they are jealous and hateful, and they can't tolerate anything in their eyes.

has a hot temper, if someone provokes her, they will not reason with you and directly kill the killer.

Gu Nian thought about it, and was a little jealous, but still asked, "Is this bug hard to find?" ”

Bai Feng still smiled and said, "It's difficult, this insect is identified by its fragrance, if it wants to harm people, as long as it is caught and raised for a period of time, keep feeding them spices, and wait until they are familiar with the fragrance of this spice, as long as they smell the same fragrance, it will think it is eating and fly up." ”

Gu Nian thought of the strange fragrance, and she instructed Qingye, "Go and bring the clothes that Xu'er and Chen'er have changed into and give them to this white ...... Childe take a look. ”

Aoba retreated.

Zhou Yuxuan also knew that Bai Feng's identity was quite unbearable, paused, looked at Bai Feng, his voice became weak, and said a little helplessly, "Grandmother, Nian Nian, since I have seen through it, I don't have to hide it anymore, this Bai Feng girl is the youngest daughter of the Miao family patriarch, this time when I traveled to Lingnan, I encountered some things, and it was the Bai girl who helped me to be safe and sound."

It's just that she has a detached temperament and is a little willful, and when I returned to Beijing, she secretly followed me.

I only found out today that she had entered Beijing......"

Gu Nian saw that although Zhou Yuxuan was a little helpless, he didn't have much disgust, although he felt surprised in his heart, he didn't say anything about Bai Feng's identity, he just blessed Bai Feng's body,

"Thank you, Miss Baifeng."

Bai Feng snorted lightly, "What do you thank me for, I didn't do this for your sake." ”

Zhou Yuxuan was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Bai Feng." ”

He said apologetically to Gu Nian and the eldest princess, "They don't pay much attention to the rules over there, and the etiquette rules on our side are useless to them at all."

She has been in a high position for a long time, and her temperament is a little ignorant, and she is not hearted, grandmother, please don't take it to heart.

Niannian, I want to ask you for one thing, you see, she has such a temperament, if she follows me back to the Hou Mansion, it will not be good.

It's not a big deal for me to contain Miao Nu, but she is the daughter of the patriarch, and she ran out secretly, if it makes a big fuss, it will not be easy to explain to the emperor, and there are some other reasons, so I want you to temporarily contain her for a few days.

When I finish explaining the affairs over there in Lingnan, I will definitely send her back immediately. ”

The rules of the family are not something that a woman like Bai Feng can bear, he has no plans to marry a wife, not to mention that the possibility of marriage between a Miao woman and a nobleman in the Central Plains is zero.

Therefore, he couldn't give Bai Feng some illusory hopes, and he couldn't take her back to the Hou Mansion.

But she came with her, and he couldn't get rid of it, and he couldn't persuade her to leave for a while, so he could only wait for the matter at hand to be over, and then send her back in person.

The eldest princess's eyes are so old and spicy, she can see the greasy in them, she wants Zhou Yuxuan to get married, but a Miao girl is not within the scope of her choice of granddaughter-in-law.

So I also hope that Gu Nian can bring Bai Feng back to the house to settle down.

Gu Nian's brows moved, and he heard the helplessness in Zhou Yuxuan's tone, and said sincerely, "Since it is my cousin's entrustment, I should obey it, but the humble house is simple, I hope that the white girl will not be disgusted, and the white girl has been wronged for a few days." ”

Zhou Yuxuan was just about to say thank you, but was interrupted by Bai Feng, she stomped her feet, and said a little angrily,

"Brother Xuan, I came to the capital with you thousands of miles away, because I want to see you every day, be with you every day, and never be separated from you all the time.

I want to live with you, but I don't want to live in someone else's house, I can't see you. ”

She looked aggrieved and looked sad and sad, "I promise you to pretend to be a man, don't speak, don't cause trouble, I will go wherever you go, and never run around."

I won't go around scaring you women in the Central Plains, but you still want to get rid of me and send me away, do you really dislike me like that? ”

Zhou Yuxuan didn't know how to answer this for a while, he didn't have love between men and women for Bai Feng, but he regarded her as a little sister.

He is not a cold-hearted person, because of Bai Feng's relationship, he can return to Beijing safely, he is grateful to Bai Feng, but he does not love Bai Feng.

There could be no result between him and Bai Feng, he was sane and sober, so he kept a little distance from Bai Feng.

He had to cut off Bai Feng's little green silk to him, he didn't want to hurt Bai Feng, he said coldly, "You don't want to live in Nian Nian to marry, you can also, there is an official post station in the capital, you are the daughter of the patriarch of the Miao clan, as long as I inform the Ministry of Rites, there will naturally be officials to arrange your residence." ”

When Bai Feng heard this, he bit his lip hard, looking very hurt, but because of Zhou Yuxuan's cold words, he slowly quieted down.

After a long while, she said aggrievedly, "Don't be angry, I'll live wherever you let me live, it's just that you have to come to see me from time to time." ”

In love, whoever indulges first and invests more will compromise.

Because he loves too deeply, the more he is afraid, afraid that he is not good enough in his eyes.

Fear that he will not change the way he likes, and fear that pressing forward will push him further.

Bai Feng was afraid, so even if she was dissatisfied, she compromised.

Guan Jinghe and Princess Zhongyi have been in the main hall and have not left, since Zhou Yuxuan came in, Guan Jinghe has been looking at him, and at the same time looking at Bai Feng.

She twisted the handkerchief, it was half a year ago when she saw Zhou Yuxuan, and when she saw Zhou Yuxuan at first glance, she was a little afraid to recognize him.

Today was supposed to be a good opportunity, to show your face in front of the eldest princess, and to work hard to make the eldest princess like it, the chances will be even greater.

After all, the marriage of the Eastern Dynasty pays attention to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

As long as she enters the Zhou family, she can think of ways to make Zhou Yuxuan like her.

But her love has not been able to be sent out, except for the white moonlight in Zhou Yuxuan's heart, another person suddenly appeared.

She pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and it happened that Zhou Yuxuan looked over, and the eyes of the two met.

Zhou Yuxuan smiled slightly, "The hospitality was not good, which frightened the guests." ”

Although it is said that Princess Zhongyi and the eldest princess made an appointment to come to Izumo Temple, but in the end, the eldest princess has been staying in the capital, which can be said to be the posture of the master.

And the fiefdom of the Chungyi Palace's palace is in Chungju, which is the posture of a guest.

Princess Zhongyi had seen Zhou Yuxuan, she waved her hand, "The prince is serious, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me asking your grandmother or Princess Jin to come to offer incense, there would be no such thing."

It's because we should say it's right. ”

Bai Feng has always followed Zhou Yuxuan's gaze, and when she saw Zhou Yuxuan looking at Guan Jinghe, she was a little unhappy, and she also looked at it fixedly.

Originally, Guan Jinghe smiled when he saw Zhou Yuxuan looking over, and when he saw Bai Feng also looking over, his smile froze, and he returned to normal.

Bai Feng's words just now made Guan Jinghe's heart lift.

However, her veil had been changed, and even if she knew, what if she could bear it without evidence?

She didn't want Gu Nian's life, after all, Gu Nian was married and had children, even if Zhou Yuxuan was worried about it.

She just wanted to show her face in front of the eldest princess today and win her favor.

Even if the insect bites Gu Nian or Xiao Shizi, she has an antidote.

This poison is only known to people in Lingnan, even if the imperial doctor in the palace may not be able to cure it, when she is helpless, she will give this antidote, and the friendship of sending charcoal in the snow is the most precious.

Don't say that the eldest princess, that is, the Jin Palace, the Jin princess herself, you have to be grateful to her, can't you do what you want to do when the time comes?

It's a pity that nothing was done, don't look at these insects are inconspicuous, but she took a lot of effort to get them.

Bai Feng looked at Guan Jinghe fixedly, 'Huh', approached Guan Jinghe, turned around her, and walked back behind Zhou Yuxuan.

Zhou Yuxuan said softly, "What are you doing?" This is not Lingnan, you should be careful. ”

Bai Feng pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "I'm just looking at this girl and being curious, she looks at you with lingering eyes, doesn't she say that the Central Plains woman is subtle?"

Why does she look at you like a big piece of fat, and she can't wait to pounce on you and take a bite. “

Although Bai Feng is willful, it is precisely because of her that people who do not have bends in their hearts can see things more simply, and after seeing Guan Jinghe's gaze, they will say it so bluntly.

Princess Zhongyi was embarrassed when she heard this, and at the same time looked at Guan Jinghe complainingly.

She knew that this niece had fallen in love with Zhou Yuxuan after seeing him for the first time, and she also wanted to fulfill it, after all, she was the niece she liked to look forward to.

When Zhou Yuxuan stayed in Zhongzhou, she asked the prince to knock on the side a few times, but Zhou Yuxuan was divided, and when he arrived, he directly made a decision, and said frankly that he just wanted to do a good job for the emperor, and did not talk about the marriage of his children.

Although marriage is a good marriage with two surnames, the same requires the children to look at each other, since Zhou Yuxuan doesn't like Guan Jinghe, then it is impossible for them to send Guan Jinghe to the Hou Mansion to the death.

She will take Guan Jinghe back to Beijing, and she will also let Guan Jinghe see the world and other men, so that she will not be attached to Zhou Yuxuan.

Unexpectedly, this would be said by Bai Feng to penetrate Guan Jinghe's thoughts, which was really embarrassing and angry.

But this anger can't get out, so she can only say with forbearance, "The white girl is really good at laughing, Zhou Shizi looks so good, I am confused, let alone Xiaohe." ”

Bai Feng was brought by Zhou Yuxuan, and the eldest princess didn't want to have trouble with the Zhongyi Palace, so she said with a smile, "No, if you want to talk about it, I am most proud of having a good grandson like Xuan'er, but it's a pity, he is thinking about running an errand for the emperor now, and I can't hold my grandson if I want to."

Fortunately, there are Xu'er and Chen'er, otherwise they wouldn't be spoiled by other people's grandchildren. ”

Bai Feng blinked his eyes curiously and said to Zhou Yuxuan, "Brother Xuan, why don't you let Her Royal Highness the princess hold her grandson?" ”

Zhou Yuxuan coughed, the eldest princess laughed, and said to Princess Zhongyi, "Let's go down the mountain first, and leave it here to Xuan'er." ”

Under Zhou Yuxuan's arrangement, the group went down the mountain, and when they went back, Gu Nian took Bai Feng, who turned back three times in one step, back to the palace.

On the way, Gu Nian was going to take Bai Feng in a carriage, but when she got into the car, the eldest princess called Gu Nian over and asked Zhou Yuyan and Bai Feng to sit in a carriage.

After the carriage started, the eldest princess said to Gu Nian, "It seems that that Miao girl is here for your cousin, but our family definitely can't marry a Miao girl." ”

Gu Nian has experienced the ninth life, what kind of things have not been seen, she knows what the future generations will be like, emotionally speaking, she doesn't care whether Zhou Yuxuan's wife in the future is a noble lady, or a common person, or a beautiful lady from the Central Plains or a demon of different races.

As long as Zhou Yuxuan really likes it, and the two of them love each other, this is enough.

But reason didn't allow her to think like this, not to mention that Zhou Yuxuan didn't seem to have love for Bai Feng, and he still looked like he couldn't avoid it, just said that the Dongli Rite Sect was strictly hierarchical, and it was impossible for a woman of different races like Bai Feng to marry into the nobles of the Central Plains.

Even if Zhou Yuxuan falls in love with Bai Feng, among the nobles of the Gaomen, as the future wife of the Marquis of Anyuan, she always has to go out to socialize, and those women from the family who have been raised by the nobility since childhood still have to be careful.

Bai Feng, a foreign woman who has serious no rules and etiquette, how should she deal with herself?

She sighed and said to the eldest princess, "Grandmother, you don't have to worry about your cousin, for so many years, my cousin has traveled around outside, and he is no longer the gentleman he was at the beginning, he is a little more perceptive and sober than others."

Naturally, there will be his proportions in his actions, and for aspiring men, there are more important things in this world than the love between men and women.

Before the big picture, love was just a trivial matter. ”

The eldest princess of the Protectorate naturally understood this, and she sighed in a low voice, "Grandmother should have let you and your cousin marry early. He's like this now, hey, it's a man. ”

Gu Nian's heart was stunned, and he said, "I just treat my cousin as a relative, aren't I doing well now?" ”

Her husband is what she loves and what she cares about, and he supports her unconditionally no matter what she does.

"That's it, your cousin is a man who stands up to the sky, and he will take on the future of the Hou Mansion in the future, he has his own judgment and his own choice.

Whatever choice he makes, I, as a grandmother, just need to stand firm with him.

That Bai Feng, let her live in your house for a few days, don't treat her slowly, just repay her for saving her life to Xuan'er. ”

Zhou Yuxuan said that Bai Feng had a life-saving grace for him, and he must have encountered a very treacherous and thrilling thing at the beginning.

And Bai Feng fell in love with Zhou Yuxuan because of this.

No matter what happens to Zhou Yuxuan in the future, because of this love, he can still be good to others, so he will be good to others.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will treat the white girl well." Gu Nian said with a smile.

Before he arrived at the palace, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and then he heard the guard who followed the car outside say respectfully, "Lord." ”

Gu Nian lifted the curtain and saw Xiao Yue riding on a horse, his eyes swept over the carriage, and when he saw Gu Nian's face, he was full of tenderness, "Nian Nian, are you okay?" ”

His voice was tender and a little anxious.

In the carriage, the eldest princess naturally knew that Xiao Yue couldn't wait to pick up her granddaughter, and she teased, "Fortunately, it's okay, if there's something, my grandmother really doesn't know how to explain to him." ”

Gu Nian's face flushed, and his heart was full of sweetness, Xiao Yue's eyes kept wandering on Gu Nian's face, and he shouted into the carriage, "Grandmother, you weren't frightened today." ”

When he entered the palace today, Zhou Yuxuan was talking to the emperor about what he had seen and heard this year, and the emperor pulled him to listen to it.

After talking for a long time, the emperor had to let him out of the palace, but he didn't expect to hear the dark one say that something had happened in the cloud temple as soon as he got out of the palace gate.

What Bai Feng said, he naturally knew, Xiao Yue's face was gloomy as if he had splashed ink, and his tone was cold, "Dark One, you can do this matter in person, and set off immediately." ”

How did the insects come about, and whether it has anything to do with the Zhongyi Palace, is very important at this juncture.

The emperor summoned all the vassal kings to Beijing, not only because he was afraid that they would collude with the four princes, but also because he wanted to withdraw the feudal lords.

Zhou Yuxuan has traveled to all the feudal fiefdoms of the vassal kings for so many years, and naturally found a lot of drawbacks, and the emperor wants to achieve a career, so he naturally wants to eradicate these drawbacks.

Not everything in this world needs to be substantiated, just doubt is enough.

He wanted to see his wife immediately, so he wanted to go to Izumoji Temple, but he didn't expect to run into him halfway.

The eldest princess thought of what Mama Zhou said, and after thinking about it, she still said to Gu Nian, "Niannian, today, your Mama Zhou saw that bug and told me that when your mother died, she had seen such a bug......"

She stopped halfway through speaking, her tone trembling a little, "I suspect that your mother's death is not so simple, so when you go back, can you ask Miss Baifeng if there will be any sequelae after being bitten by this bug, for example, a face full of scars......"

Gu Nian turned his head and looked at the eldest princess in disbelief, and the hand holding the curtain couldn't help but tremble.
