Yulian looked at Dongfang happily, and behind her, followed by a cloth-clothed girl with a long sword on her back.

Dongfang opened his mouth wide in shock, stood up unconsciously, and looked behind Yulian, who was standing; The girl who competed with General Lu in the East City that day.

"This is Yingzi, from now on, she will be my personal guard." Yulian patted Yingzi on the shoulder arrogantly.

"Princess, are you telling the truth?"

"There's a big living person standing in front of you, can you still fake it?"

"My princess, have you ever wondered how you will take her into the palace when you go back? Don't forget, you even had to work hard to bring a dog in, let alone a big living person? Dongfang reminded Yulian.

"Of course I know, don't be nervous, there are no absolutes in the world, let's slowly think about it in the long run, and slowly figure it out."

After Yulian finished speaking, she took Yingzi to her room, leaving Dongfang sighing, looking at the letter on the table, and saving the emperor from urging him to return.

He immediately went to find Dr. Mo and asked about the old general's condition, and learned that it was okay early, but he was afraid that the virus would recur, so he took a few more days to diagnose and treat.

Dongfang thought about it, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and he must tell the princess to prepare to return to China.

Yulian pulled Yingzi back to her room, and then mysteriously pulled out a wooden sword from her package.

Yes, you read that right, it is indeed a wooden sword, and it is the wooden sword that Yulian asked Xiao Yuanzi to make.

Yingzi saw the wooden sword in Yulian's hand, her indifferent face was a little uncalm, and she looked at Yulian in surprise.

Yulian saw Yingzi's surprised eyes, and said in a small voice and embarrassed: "I also learned sword dance when I was a child, but because I haven't practiced for many years, I have long forgotten it, and now I want to practice it again." However, I was afraid that if I used a real sword, I would hurt myself if I was not careful, so I made this wooden sword and practiced my hands first. ”

"Then is the princess going to practice sword dancing or swordsmanship?" Yingzi finally spoke, her voice low and calm, but very magnetic.

She has had adventures since she was a child, and her swordsmanship is superb, but she is not good at communicating with others, and she is forced by life to walk the rivers and lakes to make a living. Yulian found her a few days ago, and as soon as she made a move, she gave her dozens of gold leaves, asking her to return to her hometown with her uncle to buy a house and live in peace, but she just sent her uncle away, saying that she would be Yulian's person in the future, and she would be willing to protect her all her life.

Yulian couldn't do it, so she was brought back.

Therefore, now for the princess, Yingzi must have responded to her requests.

"Well, if you want to practice swordsmanship, it may be too late, and it can't be practiced overnight, so you can teach me sword dance! It's just good to dance and majestic. Yulian pursed her lips, fascinated by the situation that she would be able to dance the sword majestically in all directions in the future.

Why is Yulian so obsessed with sword dance?

When she was a child, she spent the whole Sunday afternoon in the Chinese painting class of the Children's Palace, painting a boring Chinese painting for two hours, and Yulian often sat with a sore buttocks, so she looked out the window in a daze.

Next door, there is a dance class in the Children's Palace, where children who practice classical dance are holding bamboo swords and practicing sword dance.

Yulian saw them flipping and moving, their bodies were vigorous and graceful, and they were so beautiful that they forgot to paint every time they looked at them in a daze.

So, when her mother came to pick her up, the teacher would inevitably send a complaint to her mother: "Parents, your child has been in a daze for another afternoon today, and the painting is not finished, you can go home and talk to her!" ”

After returning home, 10-year-old Yulian had a bargaining conversation with her mother.

"Lianzi, why do you say you are in a daze, you have to concentrate on learning, you have been painting for four years, no matter how difficult it is, you must persevere, you must not give up halfway, understand."

"Mom, sitting and drawing, my butt hurts a lot, I want to learn classical dance, just that kind of sword dance, if I move more, I don't think my butt hurts."

"Your butt doesn't hurt, your hand hurts, you think about it clearly."

"After thinking clearly, my butt hurts, so I'll go to practice sword dancing again, is it okay?"

"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, in the future, our daughter will be a multi-talented person who is both literary and dance, so I decided so happily."

Yulian's mother never instigated her daughter, and in a few words, a consensus was reached, and Yulian got her wish, and after painting, she practiced classical dance.

More than half a year later, Yulian had a more profound conversation with her mother, and the conversation was as follows:

"Mom, I've thought about it, industry is diligent, and expensive is specialized, I still wholeheartedly learn Chinese painting!"

"Oh, if you don't learn sword dance, what should I do if my butt hurts?"

"The key now is not that the butt hurts, and the hands may be crippled." Yulian pouted, aggrieved, but still held back the tears in her eyes.

It turned out that Yulian raised her hand to paint for a few hours, and then went to practice the sword dance, at first I felt that the freshness was still able to persevere, and slowly, after practicing the sword dance, when I went home to eat, I couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily.

"Okay, let's concentrate on learning to paint from now on! Industry is good at diligence, and ridiculous in play! No, you can save some money by being diligent! Mom laughed.

Speaking of which, Yulian's mother is a very good person at educating her children, in addition to respecting her children's choices, she also encourages her children to try more and then wait for her to make more correct choices.

Because of this, Yulian's smart and witty personality has been created.

Therefore, after Yulian wore to ancient times, she recalled this experience when she was a child, and aroused her strong interest in sword dance.

That's why she made a wooden sword, ready to re-learn the sword dance one day.

Coincidentally, she found Yingzi, who was good at swordsmanship, and couldn't bear to look at her at a young age, so she took her as a performance and roamed the rivers and lakes, so she tried to plan the future for her, but Yingzi followed her loyally, and not only could teach herself sword dance in the future, but also protect her left and right at any time.

Hehe, from now on, I, Tang Yulian, will also have a personal bodyguard.

"Princess, then I'll teach you sword dance! When practiced to the extreme, it can also be used for combat. Yingzi's deep voice interrupted Yulian's memories.

After speaking, he opened the door, stood in the garden, held the long sword behind his back, and said, "I'll dance first, the princess will take a good look." ”

I saw her long sword wielding, walking with the sword, moving like a swimming dragon, stepping like a tiger, flipping her wrists, shaking, stabbing, pointing, shaking, pulling, dignified posture, leisurely and beautiful.

"Okay." Yulian clapped her palms excitedly, and the applause was so startled that Dongfang also came out and stood under the eaves to watch.

"Princess, what is this for?" Dongfang looked at the wooden sword in Yulian's hand and couldn't help but smile.

"I want to learn sword dance with Yingzi."

"Oh, why use a wooden sword?" Dongfang walked to Yulian's side and pointed curiously at the wooden sword in her hand.

"I'm afraid that I'll hurt myself clumsily when I just start learning, so I practice with a wooden sword first, and then use a real sword when I'm done."

"Those who practice swords are still afraid of being hurt by the sword, which is unheard of." Dongfang looked disdainful.

"You don't understand, this is not swordsmanship, this is called sword dance, it's just a dance, of course you have to be careful." Yulian chattered and said that Dongfang didn't understand.

In fact, Dongfang itself is not bad at swordsmanship, but he just doesn't have the opportunity to show it.

Moreover, he has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, and there is a fundamental difference between swordsmanship and sword dance.

Sword dance is also known as the sword weapon, at the beginning of the dancer is holding a short sword, there is a movable device between the hilt and the sword body, when dancing, it can be freely shaken and rotated, so that it makes a regular sound, and the beautiful dance posture complements each other.

Subsequently, it was gradually adapted into a kind of juvenile sword dance by folk artists, and changed to a long sword dance, which is more similar to martial arts, which is not only ornamental, but also has a fighting nature.

"Alas, it's good that the princess is happy, please." Dongfang didn't have the heart to argue with Yulian, he was worried about another thing, but he still had to say it.

"Princess, the emperor has sent a letter."

"Go away, don't make a noise about our ......"

Dongfang shook his head helplessly, turned around and entered the house.

The half moon passed in a flash, and Yulian no longer went out with the East because she was concentrating on learning sword dance.

Dongfang relaxed, he was afraid, if he faced the princess day and night, he was afraid that he would be unable to help himself and confess to her, and he didn't know what the result would be.

Therefore, staying with her like this is not a solution.

Another half moon passed by in a flash.

Even Doctor Mo came to ask Dongfang: "My lord, why don't we go back?" The old general's herpes is also completely cured, and now when he goes back, is it too late to catch up with the Chinese New Year? ”

Before I knew it, it had been almost three months,

Actually, Dongfang was also in a hurry, because the emperor's brother-in-law had sent three letters in a row.

The first letter: Dongfang, you have been going for more than a month, if the old general virus has been removed, you can return quickly, the queen misses you very much.

The second letter: Dongfang, every time the queen feels unwell recently, the old lady often visits the palace, and every time she will talk to you, return quickly.

The third letter: East, I ordered you to return as soon as possible, otherwise the military justice will be punished.

The first and second letters were still secretive, and the third letter was angry and gave orders directly.

The meaning of the emperor's brother-in-law is too obvious: "Dongfang, you want to die!" If you don't come back with the princess as soon as possible, you will be cured slowly when you come back. ”

Dongfang threw Emperor Xuanyuan's three letters on Yulian's table.

Yulian rolled her eyelids suspiciously, put down the teacup, picked it up and looked at them one by one, and pretended to be surprised: "Dongfang, you are so bold, you dare to disobey the king's order and delay your return." ”

Obviously, it was for Yulian to push again and again, but he was beaten upside down, and he sighed helplessly, admitting it, who called himself selfish in his heart!

"I've decided, I'll go back to China in three days, and you can take care of your affairs quickly!" Dongfang looked at Yingzi on the side with his eyes.

"I said that I want to take Yingzi back with me." Yulian held Yingzi's hand: "She is now my master, once she is a teacher, she will be a teacher for life, do you understand." ”

Dongfang knows Yulian's stubborn temper, and if she decides by herself, she will not change it, so she will no longer be verbose.

Before leaving, the prince of Baiyin came to see him off: "Princess, is it because I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord and didn't entertain me well?" I'm going to be back so soon! ”

"The prince is polite, this has been bothering for too long, I'm embarrassed to wait, hehe." Every time Yulian saw Bai Yin, she felt that his lazy appearance was very similar to when she was decadent and depressed.

But she also knew that Bai Yin was not really decadent, he was just using this to hide his true colors.

No matter how he disguises it, he may never see him again in this life.

"Farewell, farewell......"

The group ate and slept in the open air, and hurried up to return to Dahua before the heavy snow closed the road on the winter solstice.

The imperial capital Huayang City is still full of people, bustling, and the towering Xuanyuan Palace comes into view.

"Dongfang, Yingzi will live in your house first, and help me take care of her."

"Why is it me again......" Dongfang looked at Yulian protestingly.

"Because, you are my only friend, and there is no one to help me except you."

Yulian said this, although it was to let Dongfang take care of Yulian, but she was telling the truth, Dongfang was indeed her only friend.
