Mai Jiu slowly and leisurely walked while munching on melon seeds, and unconsciously arrived near the garden in the house. She heard Zhihua say that Ling Qingyin lived in the Yansheng dock at the back of the garden.

Ling Qingyin, hearing this name, the first image must have felt that the owner of the name was a woman with a soft voice and a graceful figure.

But Mai Jiu had never seen Ling Qingyin speak for such a long time, and every time she wanted to greet her, she always avoided it, ignored her footsteps, and left in a hurry.

I heard Zhihua say that Ling Qingyin was killed by someone and was unable to speak.

Ling Qingyin was the eldest daughter of the Dark Incense Sect of the Four Great Sects, and at that time, the affairs of the Four Great Sects were in an uproar, and everyone in the capital had heard about it.

The four major schools are hidden weapons, weapons, poison and medical skills, and these four major schools are already two and two opposites. After the royal family subdued the Poison Corrupting Sect and the Halberd Casting Sect, they also wanted to subdue the other two major sects.

The Dark Incense Sect has relied on hidden hidden weapons in musical instruments to dominate the rivers and lakes for so many years, and they don't want to submit to the imperial court and work for the naïve and ignorant emperor.

In order to let the other two major families also bow down to him, the emperor decreed that the descendants of the four major sects would marry each other in the future. Such a ridiculous order fell directly on Ling Qingyin's head, because she was sixteen years old and was old enough to be married.

The four major sects are opposed to each other, if you hurt me with a weapon, I will use medical treatment to treat me, and if you poke me with a hidden weapon, I will use poison yin to you, and no one will obey anyone.

The Dark Incense Sect and the Halberd Casting Sect had the most trouble, and the two factions looked down on each other, but the emperor let the two families marry. If you don't dare to resist the decree, then it's better to hurt each other than to be a family.

In the end, this farce ended after Ling Qingyin was poisoned and almost died. Play is fun, but no one wants to have a life.

Several elders of the Hui Sect used their lifelong medical skills to finally save Ling Qingyin, but according to legend, Ling Qingyin's enviable and commendable voice could no longer make any sound.

Poison, this is not reminiscent of the poison erosion faction, but they do not admit that it is the people of their own sect who poison it.

Later, Ling Qingyin disappeared, and according to legend, she was sad because she became mute, and she closed her door, and it is also said that she went to the mountains to live a life that no one knows.

These things were also known only when Mai Jiu was bored and asked about Zhihua.

Ling Qingyin's appearance in the palace was a year after Gu Ziyuan entered the palace, there were so many women in the palace, but the prince had never been to their courtyard, and Mai Jiu just felt that Sang Huai'an was trying to get a sense of freshness.

Mai Jiu walked through the garden to the Yansheng Dock in the back. Inside the house, Ling Qingyin had just put the peacock feather on the table when he heard a knock on the door,

Ling Qingyin and Sang Huai'an looked out the window together. Sang Huai'an said, "Go and see who it is, don't make a noise." ”

The maidservant standing behind Ling Qingyin heard the prince's order and immediately walked quickly towards the courtyard gate, and she jumped onto the eaves and looked out in three quick steps.

Mai Jiu sensed something and looked up, and the maidservant quickly jumped off the eaves without making any movement.

It seems like... There were a pair of eyes staring at me. Mai Jiu looked at the eaves above with question marks on his face.

"Lord Wang, the outsider is Mrs. Mandarin." After hearing this name, Sang Huai'an and Ling Qingyin glanced at each other.

Sang Huai'an asked suspiciously, "Do you have an appointment with Gu Ziyuan today?" ”

Ling Qingyin shook his head. At this moment there was another knock at the door, as if all the anger had been vented on the knocker.

"This king wants to see what Gu Ziyuan is doing when he comes over today." After Sang Huai'an finished speaking, he hid behind the screen in the house, and then he poked his head out and said in a cold tone: "Peacock Feather, put it away." ”

Knocking on the door for a long time and no one came to open it, Mai Jiu hurriedly slapped his foot on the ground. She looked inside through the crack in the door, and began to read in pieces: "This Ling Qingyin is mute, and he is not a deaf person, why don't you open the door for me." ”

Suddenly, a pair of clear eyes and Mai Jiu came to look at each other, Mai Jiu was startled and screamed at first, and then quickly bounced away.

The door was opened, and Mai Jiu looked at Ling Qingyin with a shallow smile on his face. This smile made Mai Jiu's heart furious, probably because the words he was talking about in a hurry just now were heard by Ling Qingyin.

Ling Qingyin moved his eyes downward and glanced at the basket in Mai Jiu's hand. Mai Jiu picked up a rouge and handed it to Ling Qingyin, "I made a rose rouge myself, and I'll send you one." ”

Ling Qingyin took the rouge and nodded in thanks, Mai Jiu looked at Ling Qingyin with an unapproachable appearance and said, "The rouge has been delivered, I'll go back first." After saying that, he quickly fled.

Mai Jiu felt that Ling Qingyin's body was full of secrets, and that aura that came with it really made Mai Jiu get goosebumps all over his body.

Ling Qingyin returned to the house and put the vial on the table, Sang Huai'an walked out from behind the screen, and his tone was still cold: "She went back?" ”

Sang Huai'an walked to the table, picked up the vial, opened it, and sniffed it close to the tip of his nose. The smell of roses and the fragrance of lemon fruit.... This taste is very similar to the aging of this king.

"When did this Gu Ziyuan become so careful, and he would make rouge." The smile on the corner of Sang Huai'an's mouth was inadvertently revealed, and his tone was no longer the same as just now.

Ling Qingyin was speechless and looked at Sang Huai'an, who was carefully looking at the corner of Rouge's mouth with a smile, she took out the Peacock Feather from under the table and slapped it on the table.

The loud noise brought Sang Huai'an back to his senses, he put down the rouge and coughed lightly, "Ahem, this king is here to tell you about business." ”

It was a bit of a struggle to walk in this huge palace, and all the time spent in the afternoon was wasted walking. Mai Jiu even went to Xinxiangyuan, which was the most unkind to her, and she always wanted to get along with the sisters in the house in line with the idea that women should be embarrassed by women.

After returning to Yi'an Hospital, Mai Jiu was tired and collapsed directly on the couch, and Zhihua hurriedly sent Mai Jiu a cool watermelon to relieve the heat.

Mai Jiu asked while eating watermelon, "You said, Ling Qingyin is the eldest daughter of the Dark Incense Sect, so isn't she very powerful?" ”

Zhihua had also heard about Ling Qingyin, and she replied, "Miss Qingyin is the first talented girl in the capital." After speaking, he showed an expression of admiration.

Mai Jiu swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and asked, "Talented girl?" ”

"Yes, Miss Qingyin was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at that time, their family was proficient in music and rhythm, her singing voice and piano skills were a must, and the saint praised her when he saw her for the first time. ”

Mai Jiu felt that it was a pity, "Then her voice is really... Alas, creation makes people. ”

Sang Huai'an walked in the direction of Yi'an Courtyard when he got out of Yanshengwu. The servant guarding the door saw from a distance the prince who was coming this way and hurriedly ran to the house to report.

Zhihua quickly cleaned up the watermelon peel on the table, and when he came back, he saw Mai Jiu who was spreading out on the couch chair and patting his belly, and said anxiously, "Oh, the master is here, you can quickly clean up the watermelon seeds on the side of your mouth." ”

Mai Jiu sat up slowly and leisurely, and sighed deeply.

Zhihua saw the prince walking towards the house through the window, and directly took off the watermelon seeds on Mai Jiu's cheeks, "Master, the prince hasn't been to Yi'an Courtyard for a long time, cheer up." ”

Sang Huai'an walked into the house, and Mai Jiu reluctantly got up and saluted, "See the prince." ”

"Get up." Sang Huai'an walked straight to the table, sat down, and continued: "In a few days, it will be the queen mother's birthday. ”

Zhi Hua got up and wanted to pour a cup of flower tea for the prince, but before he handed it to Sang Huai'an, he was cut off by Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu snatched the teacup from Zhihua's hand and said, "What does the Queen Mother's birthday have to do with me?" I'm a concubine and not a princess, so what are you talking to me about? ”

The big banquets in the palace are all carried to the main room of their own families, and there has never been a concubine, and the identity of the concubine is not on the stage, so how can she participate in the birthday of the queen mother.

Sang Huai'an felt that the person in front of him must be blaming himself for being arrogant and demoting her to a concubine. He said softly, "It's okay, the queen mother said let this king take you there." ”

Mai Jiu picked up the teacup and drank it all. She was thinking, Sang Huai'an took Yun Ran and then stood behind the two of them by herself, didn't she let others see her joke? A newly crowned princess next to me, a degraded princess, isn't it just to let others gossip.

Sang Huai'an seemed to know what Mai Jiu was thinking, so he said: "That day, you will first take a carriage into the palace and go to the queen mother, and the queen will go." In previous years, the king would take you to the birthday banquet, but this year..."

He wanted to speak and stopped in his heart and said, in previous years, you went to the palace as a princess, but this time the situation is special and I can only wronged you.

Mai Jiu was a little impatient: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll go." ”

Whether it is the princess or the concubine, after all, it is the birthday of the queen mother, Mai Jiu will definitely go.

"Okay, the king still has official business, so I'll go back first." After Sang Huai'an said this, he didn't get up, but kept looking at Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu's heart was furious, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Lord Wang, don't you still have official business, go back quickly." ”

"I haven't seen you for a long time, this king is looking at you for a while." Sang Huai'an's voice was low and his eyes were affectionate.

Mai Jiu's heart chuckled, and he almost fell This sentence will look at you for a while. In the end, Mai Jiu's reason still prevailed over the little deer who bumped into her heart, she covered her face with her big sleeves and said, "Don't show it." ”

Sang Huai'an laughed out loud, got up and touched the top of Mai Jiu's head dotingly, "This king is back." ”

Mai Jiu put down his sleeves and looked at Sang Huai'an's departing back, and the little deer in his heart was pounding his heart again. She unconsciously reached out and touched the top of her head.

In the end, reason still defeated Xiaolu, and Mai Jiu snorted at the door, "Phew, you scumbag." ”

Of course, Mai Jiu thought Sang Huai'an was a scumbag from the first time he saw him, and he still thinks he is.

Day 2

The rouge sent yesterday had a few yards to return the gift, and the return was just some gadgets. The slaves and maids who sent the return gift also praised the rouge made by Mai Jiu, and Mai Jiu was a little floating.

The weather was not hot in the afternoon, so Mai Jiu took Zhihua out of the house, wanting to find something that could be used as a gift for the Queen Mother, and on the way, he saw if the stall with the free trial that day was still there.

As expected, the stall is still there, and it is still the handsome-looking man who is yo. The man saw Mai Jiu not far behind through the crowd in front, and he smiled and greeted Mai Jiu to come over.

Standing beside Mai Jiu, several middle-aged men looked at the group of cheering and joyful women discussing something.

"Is your mother-in-law also in there?"

"yes, you're not in there."

"Don't say that his cream is very good, my mother-in-law uses it every day, and now her skin is very good, and we are happy that my own woman has become beautiful."

"yes, yes."

"I heard from others that it was the end of the Four Great Sects and the Skeleton Sect."

"Yikes! No wonder. ”

Mai Jiu, who was standing not far away, listened to their conversation clearly. She was wondering why it was the Four Great Sects, what kind of mysterious organization was this.

The man not far away was still surrounded by a group of women, and he shouted loudly, "Okay, okay, all the frost is sold out today, you can come back another day." ”

The women gathered around the man could only disperse in a hurry when they heard this. Seeing that the people around him were gone, the man hurriedly beckoned to Mai Jiu.

Mai Jiu walked to the man's stall and said, "Your business is still so hot." ”

The man's hand groped for something inside the bag and said, "Harm, just eat with a mouthful of food." ”

He took out a small box and put it on the table, "This is for you, if I don't hide it deeper, they will take it." I don't know when you'll come back and you'll be hiding, and I've forgotten a little bit about hiding. ”

Mai Jiu was a little surprised, after all, it was only a one-sided relationship last time. She picked up the locket and opened it, and sniffed it close to the tip of her nose, it was the faint fragrance of flowers. He placed the lid of the locket tightly on the table and said, "Thank you, how much silver." ”

The man pressed Mai Jiu's hand that was about to take out the money bag, "It's okay to send it to you." Guo has the right to make a friend today, and he didn't ask what the girl's name was in a hurry last time. ”

"My name is Mai Jiu... "Mai Jiu subconsciously said his name instead of Gu Ziyuan.

The corner of the man's mouth smiled, and even the two thick eyebrows seemed to be rippling softly, and he replied softly, "Under Guo Qiyan." ”
