By the palace pond, Su Liruo sat on a stone bench, gazing at a pool of autumn waves, and occasionally carp jumped happily and swam freely. She watched the fish walk freely among the lotus leaves in the pond, and she was envious, and secretly sighed that she was locked in the palace, and she didn't know when she would be able to play happily and carefree like the fish in the water? She looked up at the clear sky and longed for the birds that soared freely in the sky.

Just as she was immersed, Xiao Wei rushed over and said, "Princess..."

Su Liruo frowned and asked lazily, "Why are you so panicked?" ”

Xiao Wei came to her side and said hurriedly: "Grandma Xi is back!" I just heard Xiao Guazi say, what about Grandma Xi's dispute with His Majesty in the study? ”

Su Liruo was stunned, and even puzzled: "Why the dispute? ”

Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know!" ”

Su Liruo's eyes flashed, and he said faintly: "I'm just afraid that it will rise because of me..."

Xiao Wei didn't understand what the princess meant, but when she saw her gone, she hurriedly followed.

Su Liruo saw Chang Gonggong and Xiao Guazi lingering at the door of the imperial study from a distance.

Father-in-law Chang caught a glimpse of Su Liruo, hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over and said, "Princess, are you here?" ”

Su Liruo frowned when he saw him, and his heart was shocked: Could it be that there is something big? She asked, "Grandpa Chang, what is the matter?" ”

Chang Gonggong is over 50 years old, and he has been by the emperor's side for a long time, and he knows how to observe words and emotions and figure out his master's thoughts. At this time, he said helplessly: "Princess, I don't know what's going on?" His Majesty had an argument with Grandma Xi, and the slave did not dare to step forward, so he could only send someone to tell the princess. ”

Grandma Xi is the person brought by the Empress Ni to marry back then, she has always taken care of the life of the Empress Ni, and she is under her jurisdiction over all matters of the Empress Ni, and she has great respect for her. Until the sudden death of the Empress Ni, she endured the heart-wrenching sorrow, and took care of the young Su Liruo. Everyone in the palace knows that Grandma's status is extremely high, and even the emperor has to admit that she is afraid of her.

But today, I don't know why I have such a fierce dispute with Your Majesty?

For Su Liruo, although Grandma Xi gave her a severe request, she took good care of her and loved her very much, not inferior to Emperor Heng, and even surpassed.

Su Liruo pondered for a moment, and staggered straight into the imperial study alone.

Behind Emperor Heng's hands, he was faintly majestic, and he was angry.

Behind her stood an old woman, lean and cold, with sharp eyes and a heavy face, this person was Grandma Xi.

Grandma Xi's dark voice said: "If Your Majesty insists on going his own way, forgive me for being difficult to obey!" Ruo'er was exchanged for Ni Han's life, does His Majesty want to go against Ni Han's last wish? ”

It is not difficult to see from her arrogance that Grandma Xi is indeed in a high position in the palace. She dared to call herself "I" in front of Emperor Heng, and called the Empress Ni by her name.

Emperor Heng raised his head and sighed, his voice was lonely, and he said helplessly: "How can I bear it? But Yan Xiangguo is in camp step by step, like a child whose wings are not full, and he is overwhelmed. Jingnan is in love with Ruo'er, if she doesn't marry, I am really helpless! ”

Grandma Xi scolded: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and you actually succumb to the power of Yan Xingchen's father and son, isn't it smiling and generous?" ”

Emperor Heng was suddenly heartbroken when he heard this, since Yan Xingchen was named the general of Yuguo and started a war with the Sun Kingdom, he returned victorious. Emperor Heng obeyed his words and entrusted him with great responsibility, gradually rising step by step, holding the lifeblood of Yuguo's military power, ranking above 10,000 people under one person.

And Emperor Heng doesn't love the country and the beauty, and he doesn't envy the gods and goddesses, he just wants to stay with his beloved. How could he not bear the weight of his deep affection, and the queen of Ni was blushing, and he died and abandoned him.

Since then, the two daughters have been the weight of his life, especially the youngest daughter Su Liruo, who has almost inherited all of Ni Han's talents, and even her temperament and temperament are similar to Ni Han. Perhaps because he lost his mother at birth and never felt his mother's love, Emperor Heng loved Su Liruo even more. Maybe Su Xiru has a relatively tough and strong personality, and she has been independent since she was a child, and Emperor Heng is very relieved of her.

When Su Xiru was seven years old, he decided to send her to Guangling Temple to practice martial arts, after all, he had no children under his knees, and Yan Xingchen was in a high-ranking position, ambitious, and had been watching the imperial power for a long time. And Su Xiru's innate heroism was compelling, which made Emperor Heng attach great importance to it, so he ruthlessly sent her young to be trained. Back then, Emperor Heng stroked the petite Su Xiru and said: "Ru'er, are you playing poetry and playing the piano and blowing the flute?" Or would you rather hold a sharp blade in your hand and cut through the unevenness? ”

Su Xiru, who was young but arrogant, said: "Father, don't be a pampered princess, but would like to be comparable to a man to become a heroine." ”

Emperor Heng was pleasantly surprised: she did have extraordinary ambitions!

Ten years have passed, and from the abbot of Guangling Temple, he has learned that Su Xiru, who is dressed as a man, is quite talented and has developed a skill, which is not inferior to a man.

Emperor Heng knew that Yan Xingchen was eyeing the imperial power, thinking of his merits back then, he retreated and forbeared, knocked on the side to test Yan Xingchen, and when Su Xiru returned from studying, he could marry her to his only son Yan Jingnan. Because there are clear regulations in the history of Yuguo, the throne is only passed on to the heirs, regardless of gender. In this way, the throne can only be inherited by Su Xiru, and if Yan Jingnan can marry Su Xiru, he can appease Yan Xingchen's wolf ambitions. This would preserve the throne without endangering it.

How could Yan Jingnan admire Su Liruo wholeheartedly, and refused Emperor Heng's proposal with his father, and Su Liruo would not marry.

Emperor Heng was anxious and angry, stabilizing Yan Xingchen, the old fox, but he didn't expect to be defeated in the hands of Yan Jingnan, a hairy boy.

After thinking about it, he repaired a book and asked Grandma Xi to take it to Guangling Temple and hand it over to Su Xiru. Ask her if she has returned from school? Can you take on the big responsibility?

Su Xiru asked Grandma Xi to talk to Emperor Heng, and gave her half a year, and she would definitely be able to solve problems for her father. She will go out of the temple to practice this month, and when she passes the final assessment, she can return with honor, not afraid of jackals, tigers and leopards.

When Emperor Heng heard this, he sighed and said, "In this way, you can only use Ruo'er to stabilize the father and son of the Yan family first..."

Unexpectedly, Grandma Xi was furious and reprimanded Emperor Heng for sacrificing Su Liruo's lifelong happiness and laying the foundation for Su Xiruo's future.

Listening to Grandma Xi's accusations, Emperor Heng's heart was like a knife, how could he have endured to put his daughter in the abyss, but if he didn't make such a decision, he was afraid that there would definitely be a bloody storm and trap the people in dire straits.

Su Liruo pushed the door in, and when she heard Grandma Xi scolding her father in stern words, she was shocked and said, "Grandma, why do you blame your father..."

Grandma Xi glanced up at her, and instantly held back her anger, but said in an unkind tone: "Who let you in?" Ruo'er is getting more and more unruly! ”

Su Liruo pursed her mouth, blinked her eyes, grabbed Grandma Xi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Grandma went to a far away, what if you can read it?" When I heard that my grandmother was back, I hurried to come, why didn't my grandmother wait to see Ruo'er? ”

Grandma Xi softened her face, but her eyes were sharp, and she said angrily: "I haven't seen you for a few days, if you have a bad school, you are duplicitous with grandma?" Isn't the news wrong, who sneaked out of the palace while I was out of the house? Can't get enough of it? ”

Su Liruo smiled and leaned on Grandma Xi's shoulder, and said unrelentingly: "How can Grandma listen to those rumors? Ruo'er is well-behaved, and she doesn't dare to forget her grandmother's lesson. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Grandma, tell Ruo'er about my sister!" How is she doing at Guangling Temple? ”

Grandma Xi showed a helpless expression, knowing that she deliberately diverted the topic, but she couldn't bear to blame her. snorted coldly, glared, and said stupidly: "Ru'er is all right, you should go down the mountain at this time..."

Emperor Heng turned around slowly, silently watching his daughter coquettish in Grandma Xi's arms, couldn't help but feel heartache, and murmured to himself: Ni Han, how can you teach me how to do it? Two daughters, how should I choose!

He looked lonely, his eyes were sad, he sighed silently, and for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Ruo'er, send grandma back to the room to rest!" ”

Su Liruo was pestering her grandmother to tell her that her sister stood out among the many disciples in Guangling Temple. Hearing his father's orders, he responded casually and helped his grandmother leave the imperial study.

Emperor Heng looked at his daughter's simple back and left, his eyes becoming more and more heavy.

In other words, since saying goodbye to Su Liruo in the bamboo forest, the owner of Yueyi has been staying in the bamboo house, with a lingering and pure face, and a light and flying figure in the bamboo forest. The shy and timid girl's feelings, and the beautiful smile of the city, made him lose his mind and be infatuated.

Night Shadow came to the door of the bamboo hut, leaned over and said, "The owner of the village, his subordinates have brought the word to Yan Xiangguo, if he can't act within a month, the owner of the village will choose someone else." Yan Xiangguo promised to win Emperor Heng, please rest assured! ”

The owner of Yueyi Village had a deep face, and said coldly: "Then let's wait!" ”

He then paced to the bamboo window and asked in a quiet tone, "Who came to pick her up that day?" ”

Nightshadow was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "It's a team of dark guards." ”

His back was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "What did you find?" ”

Night Shadow shook his head blankly, and said with a guilty face: "There is no way to investigate!" The subordinates lost their traces halfway through, so they should have a special identity, otherwise they would not have used the royal secret guards. ”

The owner of Yueyi Zhuang looked vaguely and faintly, clenched his palms, and his cuffs were empty, only then did he remember that the paper fan had been taken away by her. He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and that playful and elegant face appeared in front of him, reluctant to be in love, and his heart suddenly twitched: If he had left her that day, what would be the situation now?

He closed his eyes and sighed: he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, mixing in the martial arts, reading countless people, and never touching his feelings. I didn't admit that one day I would be planted in the hands of a naïve and ignorant girl, which would make him think all kinds of things, entangle his thoughts, and be in turmoil.

Perhaps it was her exquisite, clear and pure mind that made him as cold as frost, severe and gloomy, unable to prevent him from falling into the rocks.

He slowly opened his eyes, regained his composure, and said in a low voice: "When will the martial arts conference be held?" ”

Night Shadow looked at the figure of the owner of the Yueyi Village in a daze, and thought very puzzledly: Since meeting the little boy dressed as a man, the owner of the village has been cold as usual, and he has shown tenderness for the first time, well, that's right! That abnormal look is gentleness. This is strange, he followed the owner of the village at the age of five, and it has been fifteen years since then, and he has never seen the owner treat people so tenderly. Although the owner of the village is four years older than him, if he has already married a wife and had children according to the usual practice, the owner of the village walks the rivers and lakes and never touches his feelings. He knows that the owner of the village has the world in his heart, is arrogant, and has a great future, how can he be devoted to the personal feelings of his children? Sinking into the morning and twilight?

However, since the owner of the village parted with the little son, his expression was depressed, his eyes were even more lonely, and even lonely. Don't...

Nightshade is puzzled!

Just as he was guessing, he suddenly heard the owner asking, and he was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

The owner of Yueyi Village suddenly looked back, his sharp eyes were cold, and he frowned at the night shadow.

Nightshade was secretly startled, and was frightened into a cold sweat: how dare he dare to speculate on his master's mind? Busy said: "Back to the owner, the martial arts conference will be held in Tianjun Peak in the middle of this month." ”
