One

Ten years ago.

The same here and now.

At that time, the young woman in purple was still a girl in a pink shirt, a girl who had just turned eighteen years old, and she was also the daughter of Hou Tingsheng, the former commander of the palace.

"'At that time, Yi Zhuoyang's sword was less than two inches away from the throat of the melon bitter seed, but the melon bitter seed still had a smile on his face, and secretly raised his right arm ......, 'Ouch, miss, why do you always like such bloody things?' Xiaochan, a girl with a dry mouth, finally couldn't help complaining.

"What happened? Keep reading! The pink-shirted girl poked her head out of the tree, her skin was as smooth as pink carved jade, her eyebrows were green, her eyes were full of affection, and her smile was as bright as the sun.

"Miss, you've heard this paragraph no less than ten times, how boring! We might as well ......" Xiaochan carefully picked up a dusty "Book of the Later Han" on the ground and handed it over, "Why did you hand me this broken thing again, are you annoying?" The pink-shirted girl angrily threw the book down and smashed it on Xiaochan's head.

Xiaochan persuaded: "Miss, you better read more orthodox books!" When the master asks about his homework, you also have a correct answer, otherwise the unlucky one is a slave! ”

The pink-shirted girl quipped, "Ouch——, didn't you say I forgot, the stick marks on your ass are better?" ”

Xiaochan was so anxious that she almost cried: "It's all Miss You!" The master asked me to supervise your study, but you sneaked out to eat and drink, and hurt the slave and maid...... Hurt the slave maid ......" When the pink-shirted girl saw her like this, she also changed her playful attitude, and said, "It's all my fault!" Now, Miss Xiaochan, please hand me the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, is it okay? Xiaochan became very happy, threw away Mao Xiaoli's "Who's Who in the Rivers and Lakes", and diligently presented Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", and said quickly: "Miss, most of these rivers and lakes are written by some idle people's hearsay, and they always blow those rivers and lakes characters to their gods, which is not to be believed!" Take Yi Zhuoyang, who you admire the most, for example, you don't necessarily have to ......" "Xiaochan, shut up!" The pink-shirted girl's face changed suddenly, and Xiaochan immediately avoided her mouth and lowered her head.

At this time, a mighty convoy drove on the road opposite Xiaoting, there were more than seventy or eighty people in front and back, all dressed brightly and gorgeously, rich and unusual, and there were eight people carrying a rich dowry at the end, and there were more than 20 cars in total.

"Wow! It must be the royal family and nobles who come here to get married, no wonder there are so many dowries! The pink-shirted girl jumped lightly from the tree, without blinking.

In that team of welcoming relatives, the leader was a handsome and slender young man, wearing a red public uniform, stepping on a pair of mighty unicorn official boots, the whole person looked calm and capable, but the look between his eyebrows was too indifferent, and the eyes that should have revealed thoughts and feelings seemed lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water, without any vitality.

The cold-faced man passed in front of the pink-shirted girl like this, but he didn't pay any attention to the "Jiang Feng Beauty Picture" beside him.

The pink-shirted girl's face showed a look of displeasure, indeed, not only she thought that no one who had seen her did not think she was beautiful, but now, she was standing in this bright place, the gorgeous color of the red maple leaves was corresponding to her brilliant face, passers-by would frequently look back at her, but this cold and proud man never looked at her.

"What a serious pretence!" The girl in the pink shirt scolded secretly in her heart, so she pulled her throat and shouted completely regardless of the lady's demeanor: "Hey——, it's so grand, whose kiss are you going to marry?" ”

The cold-faced man finally turned his head to look at her, but his eyes were full of disgust, and then he turned his head indifferently and continued on his own way.

The girl in the pink shirt couldn't hold back any longer, and crossed her waist and said angrily: "That tall man in red, Miss Ben asked you something!" ”

The cold-faced man still ignored him.

The pink-shirted girl continued to provoke, "Your saber isn't just used to scare children, is it?" No wonder it's so pretentious! Xiaochan hurriedly stopped: "Miss, it's better to be more restrained, who knows who it is!" "Humph! I'll be afraid of him! The pink-shirted girl pursed her lips with a look of disdain. Just when the word "he" just fell, a red cloud fell in front of her, only to see a flash of cold light, Xiaochan saw the sword blade as white as frost and cold as ice, and her knees suddenly became weak, and the whole person collapsed to the ground in fright, and could only intermittently utter the word "don't ......"

The pink-shirted girl only felt a few sharp sword qi coming towards her body, her feet were smart, light and dodge, it was easy to dodge, and when she secretly clenched her fists and was about to make a move, she saw the cold-faced man flipping the sword body cleanly and neatly, and withdrawing the sword. The pink-shirted girl said in a hurry: "What, can't you respond?" The cold-faced man gave her a disdainful glance, and then gently returned to the shore.

"Miss, ...... behind you" Xiao Chan, who was half frightened to death, regained her senses and pointed to the red maple tree behind the pink-shirted girl with trembling arms. The girl in the pink shirt hurriedly turned her head to look and found that there were four powerful characters engraved on the tree - don't be too arrogant.

"So, he didn't mean to hurt me, but to give me a warning?" The woman in the pink shirt couldn't help but secretly admire from the bottom of her heart: on the one hand, she gave people a semi-lethal attack, and on the other hand, she could not imagine what kind of realm this person's swordsmanship had reached.

"Miss, she was going to kill you just now, it was so easy." Xiaochan stepped forward and prompted. "I want you to say it!" The pink-shirted girl angrily pressed a palm on Xiaochan's head, studied the handwriting on the trunk again, and recalled the cold-faced man's sword technique, and an evil smile appeared on her face again: "Is it ......, hehe!" ”

In the city of Nanyang.

Commander-in-Chief's Office.

The commander-in-chief of the front division of the palace made Hou Tingsheng and all the concubines and servants prostrate on the ground and diligently listen to the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, the former commander of the palace commander made the daughter of Hou Ziyu dignified and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous, at the age of the cabinet, but the ninth prince Luoyang Wang Wenwu is both civil and military, good looks, and there is no marriage match, hereby give marriage, thinking that a pair of heaven-given couples will be fulfilled...... "An invincible justice read the holy decree with a sharp voice, and suddenly a cry of "no-" interrupted him, only to see a reckless and dusty pink-shirted girl broke in, completely transparent to the father-in-law in front of him, He knelt down in front of Hou Tingsheng and stopped him in an almost commanding tone: "No! ”

The father-in-law pointed at the pink-shirted girl and asked, "Whose wild girl is this, who actually broke into here?" ”

The pink-shirted girl didn't pay attention to him at all, but just grabbed Hou Tingsheng's arm and said urgently: "Daddy, no!" You can't marry off your daughter so hastily. At this time, everyone knew that this "wild girl" who did not have a bit of ladylike demeanor turned out to be the daughter of the dignified former secretary Hou Ziyu, and the father-in-law's disdainful look suddenly converged a lot, but he couldn't help but doubt the words "dignified and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous" written on the holy decree.

Hou Ziyu continued: "Daddy, who knows if the king of Luoyang has a crooked nose and squinted eyes, and I haven't seen him again,......" "Hmm——? Daring! The father-in-law pointed at Hou Ziyu with an orchid, and the two little eunuchs behind him also followed his example and shouted in a sharp voice: "Presumptuous! ”

Hou Tingsheng was very embarrassed, and pushed Hou Ziyu away with a bluffed face and said, "Xiaoyu, you are also presumptuous!" Why are you so old and unconscious? Then Xiang Gonggong smiled ugly: "Don't be surprised, Father-in-law Wangqi, the little girl is still young and doesn't know how to count." Gonggong Qi covered his mouth and smiled, and then said seriously: "Our family will not be strange, I just hope that the king of Luoyang will not be strange!" Hou Tingsheng arched his hand and said: "Then it depends on your kindness!" ”

Qi Gong said fairly: "Okay, our family is not a noisy person, come and get the order!" ”

Hou Tingsheng respectfully accepted the holy decree with both hands, and Gonggong Qi said again: "Our family still has to go back to the palace to accompany us, and we can't delay for a moment, so let's leave first!" Hou Ziyu also secretly rejoiced in her heart: "Guy who is neither male nor female, what kind of energy is hea?" It's good to go before it's too late! She was about to scold, but seeing that her father's dignified former boss was also attentive to her, she didn't dare to slack off, thinking that this eunuch was not easy to provoke, so she swallowed back the foul words that came to her mouth.

Who knew that Father-in-law Qi walked to the door, turned back and said: "This dowry is also down, please ask Miss Hou to leave for Luoyang tomorrow!" Then he looked Hou Ziyu up and down critically and said, "Our family advises Miss Hou to pay more attention to her good manners!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be rare to win the favor of the king of Luoyang! ”

Hou Ziyu was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, if it weren't for her father's staring at the big eyes of the copper bell to stop herself, she was afraid that she would have stretched out her legs and tripped over the eunuch.

"Escort Yang, you can come in!" Father-in-law Qi walked out and called another person in. As soon as this person came in, the masculinity of the men in the main hall came back again, and Hou Ziyu was secretly scolding in his heart which nasty ghost came, but he was shocked by this Yang guard, it turned out that this long-bodied, majestic young man actually let the man who had started with her in Xiaoting in front of him, and Yang Guard's calm and indifferent face also changed slightly, and he probably wondered that the wild girl who was willful and reckless in Xiao Ting would be the daughter of the commander-in-chief of the palace, and it was also the concubine that the king of Luoyang pointed out to the emperor to marry.

"Xiaguan Yang Yi is the captain of the escort appointed by the emperor, and the commander is polite!" Yang Guard's speech was concise and concise, just as he gave the impression he gave people.

"In this way, I have to ask Lord Yang to take care of the little girl on the road!" Hou Tingsheng also returned the salute to the other party with style.

A cadre and others withdrew from the main hall, Yang Yi and the other two guards were arranged in the three warm pavilions in the east wing, and the eunuchs and soldiers who sent off their relatives were arranged in the Zhuyun courtyard in Nanyang City, so that the entire Hou Mansion could be quiet.

"Daddy, no matter what, I won't get married!" Hou Ziyu saw that the people who came had withdrawn, so she became unscrupulous again, "This is a holy decree, I can't help you!" Hou Tingsheng said categorically. He has always doted on his daughter, so she was rude and willful, and her mouth was open, remembering the many rudeness just now, Hou Tingsheng regretted the previous negligence of etiquette.

"Don't you think about your daughter's lifelong happiness at all?" Hou Ziyu pouted and cried in her vocal cords, thinking that she could reverse the situation with her previous behavior of crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. "Aren't you happy? Being able to marry the king of Luoyang, I don't know how many Houmen's daughters dream of the honor, besides, the king of Luoyang has also seen it as his father, he looks like a jade tree in the wind, and he is a talented ............" Hou Tingsheng also said in a stern tone that he had never had, "I don't care, I don't care, I just don't marry, whether it is his holy decree or God's divine decree, I won't marry" Hou Ziyu covered her ears, stomped her feet, and cried loudly.

"What kind of attitude do you have! Let those subordinates see what kind of system it is! Hou Tingsheng could hardly help but roar.

"It's not because he's the king of Luoyang that you're bent on clinging!" Hou Ziyu only wanted to be happy, only to hear the sound of "pop", and received a heavy slap on the right cheek, Hou Tingsheng finally couldn't help but beat this daughter he had never beaten since he was a child.

"Humph! You don't beat me when my mother is here, you don't hurt me at all! Hou Ziyu wiped her tears, turned around and ran out the door.

"I don't hurt you, if I didn't hurt you, you can be indulged like this now? You're going to see which lady show...... Yes...... cough cough ...... "Hou Tingsheng was excited, and suddenly coughed non-stop, and the four trembling concubines all stepped forward to help him sit down.

"Master, you take a sip of tea first, and go well!" Hou Tingsheng's favorite concubine Fu Mingyao offered a cup of tea and persuaded: "Xiaoyu has this temperament, you don't know, I don't think she is angry with you, after a while, I figure it out, knowing that you are dedicated to her good, you will come to admit your mistakes!" ”

Hou Tingsheng was relieved a lot when he heard Fu Mingyao say this, but when he looked at the palm he had just slapped his beloved daughter, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's because she has no mother since she was a child, I always feel indebted to her, which is why she is so connived that she is lawless, alas, ——, has a father, and no mother teaches ......."

Ming Yao hurriedly stepped forward and stroked Hou Tingsheng's chest and said, "She will understand, she will understand." ”
