Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, the candle flame had been extinguished, and a faint moonlight shone in from the window, and she just felt a little thirsty and was about to get up and pour tea, the arm that had been on her waist tightened suddenly, and a low and hoarse voice sounded overhead, "Where are you going?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden voice, "You haven't slept yet?" ”

"Hmm. 【Latest chapter reading. 】”

After a while, he whispered a reply, and then continued, "Where are you going?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't notice the abnormality in his voice, and took his hand away, "I'm thirsty, drink some water." ”

"I'll pour it for you."

Before Xia Xiaoxiao could speak, he had already turned over from the bed, Xia Xiaoxiao watched him find the direction of the table in the dark and pour her tea, returned to the bed and handed the teacup to her mouth, "Drink it slowly." ”

She pursed her lips, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and watched him put down the teacup and walk back, before asking him, "Did you not sleep at all?" ”

Beigong Yu was silent for a while before saying, "No." ”

It's not that he didn't sleep, but that he woke up as soon as she made the slightest movement.

He looked at Xia Xiaoxiao with her head tilted slightly, but she still didn't mean to continue sleeping, and semi-forcibly hugged her and lay down again, and said in a low voice, "Sleep, it's late at night." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao didn't speak, his whole body leaned on him, and he was no longer sleepy.

On the second day, when the first ray of morning light shone in from the window, Xia Xiaoxiao was woken up by the dazzling light, and she finally developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early these rare days, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, Beigong Yu got up earlier than her, and she was already sitting up next to her, and even her clothes had been changed.

Beigong Yu leaned halfway, one hand casually supported his head, and the other finger was wrapped around Xia Xiaoxiao's long black hair, as if he was playing with something very interesting, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "Awake?" ”

"Well," she was about to get up, only to find her hair tangled around his fingertips, and had to lie back down, "what are you doing?" ”

"Nothing." He hooked his lips and smiled, let go of Xia Xiaoxiao, leaned over, kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips, and asked dotingly, "Not sleeping?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, thinking that they had a few quarrels yesterday, why did his attitude change faster than himself today?

But he nodded, called someone in, and got up to wash.

Beigong Yuyin had already gotten up and washed, and the maids were only waiting for Xia Xiaoxiao alone, dressed up, and it was almost the beginning of the hour when everything was finished.

"Go out now, breakfast out?"

I don't know when, he has asked the maids to find some good jewelry, and chose one of the more plain ones for her to pin in her hair, and asked in a low voice.

She took the mirror handed by the maidservant and looked at it, "You can eat in the house first and then go out, I just want to go to the streets, it won't take much time." ”

Beigong Yu had a smile on his face, Xia Xiaoxiao realized that it was a little inappropriate for him to say this, isn't this just blaming him for not letting her go out to panic.

Just as he was about to say something more, Lu Wuxian outside the door learned that the two of them had gotten up and rushed over, and he was stunned when he saw that the two of them were dressed as if they were going out, "Your Majesty, is this going out of the house?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Beigong Yu's face, wanting to break this silent embarrassment, and hurriedly sorted out his clothes and said, "Well, Lu Wuxian, are you going?" ”

Lu Wuxian has been busy enough these days, and when he heard Xia Xiaoxiao's invitation, flowers immediately bloomed on his face, and he wanted to blurt out a good word, but as soon as he swept his eyes, he saw Beigong Yu beside Xia Xiaoxiao throwing a somewhat dangerous gaze at him, so he changed his words stiffly, "Haha, don't go, don't go, there's been a lot of things lately, so it's better for Weichen to stay in the prefect's mansion." ”

"That's right," Xia Xiaoxiao also expressed understanding, "Yes, there should be something to prepare when I return to the palace tomorrow, so I'll go out for a walk with Ah Yu and come back later." ”

Saying that, she naturally took Beigong Yu's hand and walked outside.

"That's right, Lu Wuxian"

As soon as she walked out of the doorway, she suddenly remembered something, and looked back at Lu Wuxian who was still standing in place without moving.

Lu Wuxian immediately came back to his senses as soon as she called out, "Huh? ”

Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but she took into account Beigong Yu by her side, and finally shook her head, "Forget it, it's nothing, you go get busy." ”

I haven't been out of the prefect's mansion for some time, and this trip today happened to coincide with the right weather.

As soon as the guards guarding the prefect's mansion saw Beigong Yu, they naturally didn't dare to stop them anymore, and when they left the prefect's mansion, Beigong Yu lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on Xia Xiaoxiao's hand holding him, and a faint smile spread on the corner of his mouth.

"Beigong Yu, when the injuries on your body are about to heal, you should go out for a walk more if you have time, you won't be bored if you stay in the prefect's mansion all day?"

Xia Xiaoxiao took a deep breath of fresh air, exhaled a long breath, and looked at the bustle of people coming and going on the streets, and turned his head towards Beigong Yudao.

"With you by your side, how can you be bored?" Beigong Yu chuckled, took her hand with his backhand, interlocked his fingers, and pulled her to walk on the street.

Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, let Beigong Yu pull her forward, pulled the corners of her mouth, and walked for a while only to find that it was not the direction to the shop, she stopped him, "Hey, Beigong Yu, are you going wrong, where are you selling bags here?" ”

"Hey, this young lady, but what kind of steamed buns do you want to eat?"

Before the words fell, Beigong Yu had already taken her to a bun shop, and the vendor smiled and said to Beigong Yu.

Beigong Yu glanced back at Xia Xiaoxiao, ordered a few meat buns, and then said, "Eat something first." ”

"Don't have breakfast in the house, you just want to bring me to eat steamed buns?"

A few small tables were set up in the small stalls on the street, and they found a place to sit down, Xia Xiaoxiao looked back at the small buns that had just come out of the cage, so that he didn't feel that his hungry stomach suddenly became uncomfortable.

Beigong Yu smiled, took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her, "I heard Wuxi say that this house in Fenghuai Town tastes good, I want to try it." ”

"Tsk, Beigong Yu, you are really good enough to pick the door, there are so many good things in the prefect's mansion, you are reluctant to give me food, bring me to eat this!"

Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him with disgust, and the chopsticks in her hand were also put down by her with great displeasure.

Beigong Yu didn't expect Xia Xiaoxiao to react like this, and at this time, the vendor had already come up with buns, "Two, fresh buns are coming."

Filled with two long plates, "If the two of you are not enough, remember to call the small one!" ”

Saying that, the peddler laughed again and Mimi retreated.

Beigong Yu took one of them and put it in Xia Xiaoxiao's bowl, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you sure you don't eat it?" ”

"No"

was about to say that he would not eat it, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the fox-like gaze in Beigong Yu's eyes, and looked at the fragrant buns in the bowl, Xia Xiaoxiao swallowed his saliva, "You can't eat so much by yourself, I'm afraid you will waste it." ”

"There's so much to talk about eating." Beigong Yu laughed lowly, Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head and glared at him after taking a bite, she just hoped that he would take her to eat more chicken, duck and fish or something.

Stingy.

However, the taste is indeed excellent, after a breakfast, Beigong Yu didn't eat two at all, and most of them went to Xia Xiaoxiao's stomach.

Beigong Yu looked at the corners of her mouth with bun crumbs, smiled helplessly, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the corners of her mouth little by little, and said in a low voice, "Daughter's family, what does it look like to eat this posture outside." ”

"You're disgusted with me?"

Xia Xiaoxiao wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at him, it was not the first time he had seen her eating, what kind of posture did she eat?

"How come," Beigong Yu put away the handkerchief, and regardless of how many people came and went on the street at this time, he held her face and kissed it, "I like it enough." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, he didn't want to be cheeky, she still wanted it!

Stretched out his hand and hurriedly pushed him away, only to find that the people at the tables adjacent to them just now turned their heads to look at them and covered their lips and smiled, Xia Xiaoxiao's face immediately turned red, pointing at him and anger surged, "Beigong Yu, you are really"

Beigong Yu had already stood up holding her hand, and said calmly, "You kissed me secretly last night, and I just asked for it back." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's words about to scold suddenly stuck on the tip of his tongue, last night? Is she stealing a kiss? She is clearly above board!

At this time, even the vendor who sold steamed buns couldn't help laughing, "The two of you are really in love." ”

"Love a fart!"

The eyes of those people swept over one by one, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Beigong Yu looked at Xia Xiaoxiao's figure without looking back, and the smile on his face solidified little by little.

Love?

After walking a distance, Xia Xiaoxiao turned around and found that Beigong Yu hadn't kept up, so he stood helplessly waiting for him and shouted at him, "Hey, why are you still stupid?" Can't go? ”

Beigong Yu heard the voice and looked up, Xia Xiaoxiao was standing in the crowd, beckoning to him impatiently, and hurriedly raised his heels and went up.

The bustling city where people come and go, the constant flow of people, occasionally Xia Xiaoxiao sees what he likes to eat, he buys it to her, she likes the gadgets, he also buys it to her, passing by the storyteller's place, she is also happy to sit down and listen to a few sentences.

Perhaps, what Xia Xiaoxiao wants to live is such a plain life, and the rivers and lakes she talked about are just one of them.

She seems to be more suitable for this kind of life, in the palace she is a person who doesn't even bother to take a step out of the palace door, always annoyed to meet people she doesn't want to see, where will it be like now, seeing everything is like something interesting to join in the fun.

Beigong Yu followed behind Xia Xiaoxiao, quietly looking at her back with a sugar gourd, and felt as if all kinds of troubles had dispersed at this moment, just thinking that she would always accompany him like this, or that he could always accompany her like this.

Thinking about it, she should have left for the palace tomorrow before she opened her mouth to go out for a walk.

"Hey, Beigong Yu, come here, there's someone in the ring over there, let's go over and have a look?"

Xia Xiaoxiao's footsteps suddenly stopped, stood on tiptoe and looked in one direction, and the sugar gourd in his hand was raised high.

Beigong Yu walked over, "What?" ”

I saw that at the end of the street, there were already dense figures standing around a wide ring, and there were two men on the stage at this time playing hotly above, a red flag with the word martial arts was hung high on the left hand, a big drum was placed on the right hand, and the drumming sound could be faintly heard in the noisy sound of the crowd.

Xia Xiaoxiao had already taken Beigong Yu's hand and walked there, "There's a fight in the ring over there, it's so exciting, let's take a look and go back." ”

She was excited, it was rare to see someone fighting in the ring on the street, Beigong Yu smiled and could only follow.

When I got closer, I saw that it was the two men who competed in the ring, and it could be seen at a glance from the figure that there were people with a bit of foundation, it was the moment of the fight, and everyone was talking about it, but because there were too many people, Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't hear what they were talking about, and they were also talking about which of the two was stronger or weaker.

Beigong Yu was naturally not interested in these, but he casually glanced at the stage and withdrew his gaze, but seeing Xia Xiaoxiao looking seriously, he couldn't help laughing, "What's so good about this three-legged cat's kung fu?" ”

I really don't know how Xia Xiaoxiao can have such a strong interest in these things, he squeezed her hand, "When you go back to the palace, if you really want to learn, I'll teach you a trick or two?" ”

Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back at him, and said with suspicion, "I can't believe what you said, didn't you say the same thing when you went back to the palace before?" ”

But later, whenever she mentioned it, he always found some excuses to prevaricate her, and his favorite thing was to let her stand aside and watch him practice, but he didn't let her touch those swords and swords.

Beigong Yu held her hand tightly, not letting her touch it, because he was always afraid that those swords would hurt her, but she liked it, and now he was eager to give her everything he could give.

During the conversation between the two, the fight on the stage had been divided, and there was a cry from the audience, and one person who was close to them said, "This person has beaten three people in a row, it's a pity to see that the jewelry of the Zhou family really fell into the hands of this person this week."

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, there was a reward?

On the stage was a man with a full beard, with a long scar spread on his face from the bottom of his left eye to the root of his ear, Xia Xiaoxiao was startled at this glance.

"What's wrong?"

Beigong Yu noticed Xia Xiaoxiao's reaction, and also looked towards the ring, and found that there was nothing strange.

At this time, another man was in the ring, and soon the two scuffled again, Xia Xiaoxiao could see it, and he didn't care about it, so he said, "Before I married you, I thought that I was looking for such a husband in the rivers and lakes, strong in martial arts, fierce and vicious, I don't have to worry about being bullied, and I don't have to worry about a woman to seduce me, so I'm so happy." ”

But now when she looks at the obscene appearance of the person in the ring, it is really far from the hero in her mind, as long as she thinks about it, she trembles all over, and shakes her head again and again, "When I see it today, I really want to be a good-looking husband, such a face may really make people unable to eat." ”

When she spoke, she didn't see Beigong Yu's face that had gradually darkened, he really didn't know that in Xia Xiaoxiao's heart, he actually had such thoughts.

Xia Xiaoxiao was watching intently, and the man who went up later on the stage lost another game, "Ah! Lost again, Jewels"

Thinking that there must be a lot of jewels and silver in the ring this week, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, and before the words fell, Xia Xiaoxiao only felt that his palm was empty, and the hand holding him had been released, and he didn't see the figure of Beigong Yu.

Then there was an exclamation from all around, Xia Xiaoxiao raised his head sharply and looked towards the ring, only to see that Beigong Yu's figure in a dark robe had fallen to the ring, causing countless women below to discuss.

"Oh, which family's son is this, born so handsome!"

"yes, why haven't you seen it before? Looking at his clothes, he should also be the children of rich and noble families. ”

Those women were all stunned, Xia Xiaoxiao became more and more uncomfortable when she listened, Beigong Yu's good looks were among those who had just entered the ring, plus a good kung fu, didn't these girls who had not come out of the cabinet be fascinated this time?

What's more, the wounds on his body haven't healed yet, what if he gets hurt again as soon as he starts fighting?

Thinking like this, although she was thinking about the jewels of the ring master's house, if Beigong Yu's wound was cracked again, it would be worth the loss, and when she was about to open her mouth and hurriedly let Beigong Yu come down, the drumming had already sounded, and Xia Xiaoxiao's voice was drowned in the noisy voices.

Xia Xiaoxiao's shouting voice suddenly stopped, her eyes widened violently, and she suddenly grabbed the woman's hand and asked, "Jewel girl?" Jewelry is not silver taels, is it a girl? ”

The woman was taken aback by Xia Xiaoxiao's sudden question, "This is natural, the jewelry girl of the Zhou family, today she set up a ring to compete in martial arts." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't come up and choked himself in a fit of anger, and coughed for a while before he came to his senses, the more he listened to those people's words, the more he regretted it, why did he take him to see what kind of broken ring he was, didn't he also say that this thing was not interesting before, why did he run up and fight with others?

But then I thought that Beigong Yu still had a patient with injuries on his body, that is, no matter how good his kung fu was before, he couldn't exert much strength if he thought about it, and then she did see that the scar man's skills seemed to be good, and she was a little relieved at the moment, but she still couldn't stop complaining, "Damn the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, why don't you set up a brand!" ”

Who knows that the ring is fighting like this, and it is a competition to recruit relatives!

"But come to think of it, if only such a man wins the ring, the son and the jewel girl on the stage can be regarded as a talented and beautiful couple."

The woman who covered her lips before laughed with envy, Xia Xiaoxiao's little face was already angry, "Don't be blind, he doesn't look down on any jewelry girls!" ”

As soon as the woman saw that Xia Xiaoxiao was a melon that she couldn't touch, she was blindly jealous, glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao sneeringly, and pointed in one direction with her hand, "See, that is the daughter of Master Zhou's family, one of the few rich ladies in Fenghuai Town, how many men flock to it, and it is rare for a son with such a face to go up to compete." ”

Xia Xiaoxiao's eyes looked at the ring in the direction pointed by the woman, and he happened to see the inside of the ring impartially, there were two people sitting in his seat, and the man on the left hand side was dressed in a brocade costume with gray hair.

And right at his hand, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced over, and saw a woman who was about twenty-eight years old, with a face like a peach blossom with a little bit of grace and elegance of everyone's ladies, holding a handkerchief in her heart, and a pair of watery eyes fell straight on Beigong Yu, that gaze, **naked satisfaction, and from time to time laughing with Lord Zhou and saying something.

is indeed a good beauty, and her appearance is placed in Beigong Yu's harem, which can be regarded as middle and upper-class.

I don't know why, even if I knew that Beigong Yu would really go to the ring to recruit relatives, I was inexplicably angry in my heart, no matter what kind of thoughts he had, this martial arts was incomparable.

It doesn't matter if he loses, if he wins, will he really have to marry his daughter?

Just thinking about it, she had already taken a step forward to call Beigong Yu down, but she had just taken a step, and the big drum on the stage had already been hit heavily, accompanied by the sound of gongs, no matter how loud Xia Xiaoxiao's voice was, it was drowned out.

On the stage, the man with the scar on his face looked Beigong Yu up and down with disdain, the outfit looked like thin arms and thin legs, coupled with fair skin in the sun, where is there the normalcy of a person like them who has been practicing martial arts all year round? sneered at the moment, "Yo, where did this little white face come from, don't think that this is a place with just one face if you don't have the ability, roll down by yourself before you make a move, lest you accidentally start a heavy hand later, and regret it after a missing arm and a broken leg." ”

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of ridicule under the ring, but there were also sympathetic ones, "Tsk, although the jewel girl is good, it's not worth losing her life for this." ”

Although it was just a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, they all saw how heavy the man was, not to mention that the body bones that Fang Cai had just come to the stage looked much tougher than the current one.

Beigong Yu heard this, but he didn't even bother to frown, and his eyes turned to the place where Xia Xiaoxiao was in the audience, seeing that she was still in place as if she was talking about something in a hurry, she was slowly relieved, fortunately, she was still there.

"Do it, you don't have that chance."

He dusted off his robe, and the man was obviously impatient, and laughed loudly, "What a tongue!" I want to see how you get down! ”

When the words fell, the expression in the man's eyes suddenly changed, and he attacked Beigong Yu with his bare hands and fists!

The speed was so fast, and he was merciless in his beckoning, but soon his face was covered by a solemnity, and even the previous voices of the people in the audience changed direction.

It's just because everyone saw that no matter what kind of attack the scar man had, the man in the black robe even looked light and light, and he was relieved of every move.

"That's all there is to it?"

The corners of Beigong Yu's lips raised slightly, and with each move, his eyes swept under the ring, and it was not until every time he saw that the figure was still in place, that the heart he was carrying was put back again.
