When I woke up this morning, I felt that the sky was gray, and when I had breakfast, the sky was already drifting with snowflakes, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, but in a moment, the earth lost its original color, and it was all white.

Lime took an umbrella and prepared to go out. Yesterday, he promised Hongxia Yiming to give him a simmering trick today, and he should have been waiting in the martial arts training ground at this time.

When Lime was still far away from the martial arts training ground, he heard the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the air, the sound was sharp and pleasant, and it was indeed not something that Hongxia Yiming's wooden sword could make.

In the martial arts training field, two people, one big and one small, are practicing swords, the big one is deliberately slowing down, and the small one is seriously imitating, both of them are very devoted, and they don't even know that Lime is approaching.

Qiu Chulin's speed of making moves is getting faster and faster, Hongxia Yiming was a little struggling at first, and then he also kept up with Qiu Chulin's speed, and the dance was smooth and smooth.

The tip of the sword slashed across the ground, stirring up layers of snowflakes, lime collected the umbrella, used the umbrella as a sword, stepped on the snow, and climbed on the high platform.

Seeing this, Hongxia Yiming took out his sword to greet him, while Qiu Chulin took his sword and retreated from the high platform.

This battle finally ended with the wooden sword in Hongxia Yiming's hand being broken.

"Master......" Hongxia Yiming flattened his mouth and said to Qiu Chulin, "Master broke my sword again......"

"Uh......" Qiu Chulin was slightly stunned, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to call lime for a while, "You ...... Master Lime often breaks your sword? ”

In the past few months since Qiu Chulin left, Lime corrected him several times to no avail of the title of "Shi Niang", and then he got used to it when he screamed, and he didn't bother to correct it. But when Qiu Chulin came back, this title was particularly embarrassing.

"Uh-huh." Hongxia Yiming took the broken sword and nodded busily, "This is already the tenth broken sword by Shi Niang......

"Lemon." Qiu Chulin said with embarrassment, "Ming'er, he is only eight years old, is this too harsh?" ”

Qiu Chulin's words surprised Lime, and he couldn't imagine that Qiu Chulin, who was strict in governing the army, was so lenient with his students, "I am indeed a bit harsh in this way, but the Nine Emperor Sons are talented and intelligent, and they learn everything faster than children of the same age, so it is inevitable that they will be impetuous." I simmered with him every ten days and broke a wooden sword with him, so that he could understand that although he had such talent, he should not be complacent or slack, so that he would be worthy of himself, his parents, and the people of Shuochu. ”

"Ning'er's words made me ashamed of being a master." Qiu Chulin said.

"I know that Gongzi feels sorry for the Nine Emperor Princes, and he can't bear to be too strict with the Nine Emperor Princes." Lime paused and continued, "Since I have been his master for a few days, I have to say a few words, after all, the Nine Emperor Princes are not children of ordinary families, born in the royal family, they are destined to carry more than others, and they must not be neglected in their studies and martial arts, otherwise it will be harmful to him in the future." ”

"Ning'er is right, it's true that I spoil him too much." Qiu Chulin was stunned and nodded in agreement.

"Master." Hongxia Yiming finally intervened in the conversation between the two, and he quickly pulled the corner of Lime's clothes, his eyes sparkling, as if he was reminding Lime of something.

"Oh." After his reminder, Lime remembered what he had promised him the day before yesterday, "Childe, there is another matter, I think I need to ask you and ask for your consent." ”

Qiu Chulin naturally saw the interaction between the two in his eyes, he smiled, turned his gaze to Hongxia Yiming, and teased, "Don't tell the master anything now?" It seems that although your 'teacher' is strict with you, she is very temperamental to you. ”

Hongxia Yiming was startled, his face turned red instantly, he lowered his head, and his eyes dodged.

The words "Shi Niang" came out of Qiu Chu Lin's mouth, which made Lime feel extremely embarrassed, she coughed lightly a few times, and quickly changed the topic, "I have observed for a while, and I see that the Nine Emperors are already quite skilled in using swords, and they can replace the wooden sword with a real sword." The feel and weight of the real sword are far from the wooden sword, and it was changed earlier to help the Nine Emperors learn swordsmanship. If the prince is not at ease, he can use the unopened sword first, and then open it when the Nine Emperor Princes are more proficient in using the sword. ”

"It's okay, I'll send someone to beat him when I get back." Qiu Chulin said.

Lime nodded, and when she saw Hongxia Yiming's face happy, she also smiled.

Seeing this, Qiu Chulin couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, "Is there anything else to do today?" ”

"It's nothing......" Lime thought for a moment, and there really wasn't much more to explain.

"Then the master is going to borrow your 'master'." Qiu Chulin turned to Hongxia Yiming, and before he could react, he pulled the lime and left.

The two of them left the palace and rode all the way out of the city, and when they reached the foot of the green hill outside the city, it was past noon.

"Childe." Lime jumped out of the carriage with Qiu Chulin, lifting the hem of her skirt and pulling out her feet that were stuck in the snow, "What the hell did you bring me here?" ”

"You've been in the palace for a long time, I'll take you out to breathe." Qiu Chulin said, "There is a lot of snow on the mountain, and it is inconvenient for cars and horses, so you can walk up with me." ”

"It's past noon now." Lime stood still and refused, "Walking from here to the top of the mountain, it is dark, don't say that the palace gate, even the city gate is closed." ”

"I have my own arrangements, you don't have to worry about this." Qiu Chulin paused and said, "We won't go back to the city tonight." ”

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it gets dark very early, and before Lime and Qiu Chulin reach the top of the mountain, it gets dark. Qiu Chulin took local materials, made torches from tree branches, and continued to climb the mountain with lime, but lime really didn't understand what he was going to do.

There is a light breeze tonight, and the view from the top of the mountain is very good. It can be seen that the stars in the sky are scarce, and you can also see the lights of thousands of homes in Chu'an City.

The top of the mountain was swept away, and there was no snow, but there was a burning bonfire, a small beast on the fire, two jars of old wine, and a Kong Ming lantern about the height of a man not far away.

"Childe, what are you doing?" Lime was surprised by the elaborate arrangement of the top of the mountain, and she looked around, and finally her eyes fell on the Kong Ming lantern.

"Forgot?" Qiu Chulin looked at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Today is your birthday." ”

"I've never been born." Lime was stunned and said coldly, she turned around and wanted to leave the top of the mountain.

"Lemon." Qiu Chulin stepped forward and grabbed her arm, his tone was unmistakable, "Your father, princess, and princess are still alive!" ”

As soon as Qiu Chulin's voice fell, Lime suddenly stayed in place. Back then, Xiu Yi told her that her mother was still alive, and she searched for Shuochu and never found half a bit of news.

That year, her hope was exhausted little by little in successive failures, and it was not until she found her father that she finally regained some hope.

Now, she can't stand the disappointment after hope, "Qiu Chulin, I don't allow anyone to make fun of my mother, this time it should be a warning, if there is a ...... next time"

"I didn't lie to you." Qiu Chulin hurriedly said, he turned to Lime, looked directly into her eyes, and said seriously, "Ling'er, I have seen your mother, although she has been sleeping for more than ten years, her appearance has not changed, and she is like you." ”

"What did you say?" Lime was finally moved, she raised her head, her eyes were full of incredulity, and her voice was trembling, "You really ...... Seen her? ”

"Ling'er, I've checked it all." Qiu Chulin held her shoulders and said word by word, "The person in the dungeon is indeed your father, and your mother is not dead, she is in the belly of the mountain at our feet, but she has been sleeping for more than ten years and has not woken up." Lemon, you believe me! ”

"I want to see my mother, and I can only believe you when I see her." Lime looked at him, her eyes sparkling but determined.

"Okay, I'll take you." Qiu Chulin nodded, took out a black scarf from his bosom and handed it to Lime, "This is the rule, I hope you can understand." ”

Lime took the black scarf and blindfolded her, and let Qiu Chulin fly away from the top of the mountain with her waist in her arms.

When the two men reappeared on the top of the mountain, the bonfire was still burning badly, and the little beast above was already scorched.

Midnight has passed, the night wind is rising, Qiu Chulin pulled the lime to the Kong Ming lantern, and put the pen she had just taken in the belly of the mountain in her hand, "Make a wish." ”

"Okay." This time Lime did not refuse, she picked up the pen and wrote two words on Kong Ming's lantern, "May all the people I care about be safe." ”

Took the fire from the bonfire, lit the Kong Ming lantern, Qiu Chulin held the bottom of the lamp, and felt the power from the Kong Ming lantern, "Ling'er, happy birthday!" ”

After speaking, he released the Kong Ming lantern in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, the mountains and fields were lit up with stars, and one after another Kong Ming lanterns slowly rose from all corners of the green mountains, lighting up the entire night sky.

Tens of thousands of Kong Ming lanterns are all written with "peace".

Lime was in the center of the sea of lights, immersed in the beautiful scenery for a long time, and she didn't come back to her senses until all the lights drifted away with the wind, "Qiu Chulin, thank you." ”

It was the best birthday she ever had.

"If you really thank me, will you give me permission?" Qiu Chulin stood behind her, blocking the night breeze for her, and tonight he was also immersed in the beautiful scenery, and he couldn't help but speak boldly.

It's just that his beauty has never been her.

She would never know that her shallow smile in Qiusaipo, her look back on the bank of the Beiluo River, and the warm tears under Mu Man Mountain all fascinated him.

"Qiu Chulin, you know we can't ......" Lime frowned slightly, as if displeased.

"I don't want to hear you reject me again." Qiu Chulin interrupted her, he sighed lightly, smoothed her slightly frowning eyebrows, and said slowly, "If you don't want to, I won't force it, just wait for you." ”

The night was cool, but it warmed the heart of the lime.

Since she came out of the valley, she has never felt so soothed as she does today, she likes this feeling, and she also likes the lights of the mountains.

A few days later, a holy decree suddenly descended to Yuning Palace, but it was not for Hongxia Yiming, but for Lime.

"The decree has arrived, and the maid Lime has received it!" This voice is very thick compared to the male duck voice of the eunuch who usually transmits the edict.

"The slave and the maid take the order." Lime glanced at the person who replaced the eunuch who delivered the decree, was stunned for a moment, and knelt down to accept the decree.

"When the weather is good, I am ordered by hereby Ming: the maid Lime has excellent medical skills, shrewdness and ability, and I remember that her protector has merit, so I am entrusted with a heavy responsibility. From now on, she will be promoted to a female medical officer, and her official residence will be from Liupin, and she will accompany Jinnan, and she will set off immediately, and there must be no mistakes. Chin this. Hongxia Yike handed the holy decree in front of Lime, and his voice was a little cold, "After receiving the holy decree, go and clean it up immediately, you only need to bring your medicine box, and the rest are ready for you, the carriage and horses are already waiting outside the Yuning Palace, and the prince will only give you a cup of tea." ”

"The slave and the maid take the order." Lime took the holy decree, got up and said, "Just send someone to give an order, and bother the second prince to come and read the holy decree in person, and the slave and maid are flattered." ”

When Hongxia Yike heard this, the corners of his lips showed a chilling smile.
