Unconsciously, Xu Ziyan has been living in the Assassin's Mansion for more than two months.

Today is the annual Shangyuan Festival, and the people who live in Luoyang City are all decorated with lanterns and have fun.

On this unusual day, no matter what troubles and unhappiness you have had, you can forget them all for a while at this moment. Then you can let go and have fun with your friends and family.

However, not everyone will have a happy heart, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for some.

At this moment, the extremely melancholy Xu Ziyan was sitting in the corridor in the backyard of the Thorn Mansion, staring blankly at the moon in the night sky, praying silently, hoping that her future life would be smooth sailing and not have to make waves again.

At this moment, Yulu came to Xu Ziyan with two bowls of steaming Lantern Festival on a wooden tray, hoping to enjoy it with her.

But Xu Ziyan didn't have this mood at all, the people outside the courtyard wall were laughing and laughing, but she could only be bound by Qiu Pengyun in this Thorn History Mansion, and there was no freedom at all.

Originally, Xu Ziyan had to go out with Yulu at this time of year, but this year was an exception, because she had no time to take care of these.

Yulu was really angry when she saw Xu Ziyan like this, but she couldn't persuade Xu Ziyan, so she could only stand aside and be anxious.

Just as Gyokuro was about to pick up the Lantern Festival and put them back in their place, they were seen by Akiyoshi Katsu.

Qiu Ji Sheng saw that Xu Ziyan was here, so he rushed over in a hurry.

As soon as Gyokuro saw Akiyoshi Katsu coming, she hated him so much that she immediately gave him a few blank looks. But Akiyoshi Katsu wouldn't care about that, because with his IQ, he didn't realize that Gyokuro was despising him.

Qiu Ji Sheng saw that Xu Ziyan had been refusing to eat, and he was very distressed, so he personally took the Lantern Festival to persuade her to eat.

"Zi Yan, don't be angry. Hehe, hurry up and eat it while it's hot, or it will be cold in a while, hehe. ”

Seeing this, Gyokuro thought to herself, "Hmph! Look at your stupid stupid look, you know how to giggle all day long. You are also worthy of being called Miss's name, and you don't look at what kind of virtue you are, Miss will not accept your affection! ”

Just when Yulu thought that Xu Ziyan would reject Qiu Jisheng, an unexpected scene happened.

Xu Ziyan actually took the Lantern Festival in Qiu Jisheng's hand and ate it in a big gulp, and it was the one with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Yulu was very angry. Xu Ziyan didn't accept her kindness after persuading her for a while, and she didn't want to let Qiu Jisheng do it easily what she didn't do, which made Yulu embarrassed. But she didn't say anything, who made Xu Ziyan want to.

Qiu Jisheng looked at Xu Ziyan, who was soft and dignified and generous in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "Hehe, Ziyan, you are so good-looking, I like Ziyan the most, I want to be with you forever!" ”

And Xu Ziyan on the side only smiled when she heard him say this, and didn't blame him. After all, he is just a mentally disabled person, so naturally he should be treated preferentially.

Although Xu Ziyan didn't care about this matter, Yulu didn't think so, she stood aside and was so angry that Qiu Ji Sheng.

The heart said, if you dare to do anything out of the ordinary to our young lady, be careful that I am not polite to you!

As she spoke, Xu Ziyan had already finished eating the bowl of Lantern Festival.

At the same time that Xu Ziyan handed the bowl to Yulu, Qiu Jisheng on the side subconsciously touched Xu Ziyan's white and delicate right hand.

Yulu on the side was annoyed when she saw that she was so rude.

I saw that she quickly took the bowl in Xu Ziyan's hand, and then pushed that Qiu Jisheng to the ground, and Qiu Jisheng immediately cried after he fell to the ground.

"You are so bold, you dare to be so rude to my young lady, don't think that your father is a assassin and we are afraid of you! I warn you, show me some respect in the future, or I will be rude to you! Gyokuro's harsh words frightened Akiyoshi Katsu, and he cried even harder.

"Gyokuro, what are you doing here! It's not that you don't know about him, after all, he's just a kid in a sense, so why are you so angry with him? Xu Ziyan's words seemed to have a hint of complaint.

"Miss, you...... Hum! Yulu wanted to stand up for Xu Ziyan, but she didn't want her kindness to be treated by Xu Ziyan as a donkey's liver and lungs, so Yulu turned around and left angrily.

"Ji Sheng, how are you? It doesn't matter, are you hurt? Xu Ziyan hurriedly helped Qiu Jisheng up.

Qiu Jisheng, who was helped up by Xu Ziyan, may have been overly frightened, when Xu Ziyan helped him up, Qiu Jisheng hugged Xu Ziyan tightly and spoiled Xu Ziyan like a child.

And Xu Ziyan did not refuse him, after all, he was different from ordinary people and needed special treatment.

On the other hand, Yulu, who felt wronged, walked back with the wooden pallet, lowering her head and not knowing what she was muttering as she went.

Just as she walked to the end of the corridor, a person came up to her, and Yulu accidentally collided with the person, and the Lantern Festival soup on the tray was immediately spilled on the person's body.

Seeing this, Yulu was about to raise her head to apologize to the man, but found that the person who came was actually Wang Ruxue.

Yulu thought that Wang Ruxue would scold her because of this, but she didn't expect that instead of scolding her, Wang Ruxue apologized to her again and again.

Not only that, Wang Ruxue, who has always been at odds with her, actually took the initiative to greet her, as if she had changed into a different person, which made Yulu feel very surprised. But even so, Gyokuro was reluctant to deal with her.

Whenever Yulu remembered the days when she was full of contradictions with Xu Ziyan and her in the Xu family, she gritted her teeth with hatred for Wang Ruxue. Although Wang Ruxue has indeed changed a lot these days, it still can't change the dirty impression that has long been ingrained in Yulu's mind.

When Yulu realized that Wang Ruxue seemed to have become a bully and wanted to make fun of her, she was surprised to find that there were some unshed tears in Wang Ruxue's eyes, and there were still some residual tears on her face.

Seeing this, Yulu was a little unbearable. But she still spat at Wang Ruxue, and then left angrily.

It turned out that Wang Ruxue had been having dinner with Qiu Pengyun before. Just when Qiu Peng transported the Lantern Festival to Wang Ruxue, she suddenly remembered Lin Zhongyi who was far away in the silk village.

Thinking of this, Wang Ruxue suddenly choked up, so she made an excuse and said that she wanted to come out to breathe.

Wang Ruxue, who couldn't suppress her longing, hid her face and cried bitterly after going out, who knew that crying and crying unconsciously walked to the corridor, and this is what happened at the beginning.

Since Qiu Pengyun took Xu Ziyan and others into the Assassin's Mansion by abusing his private authority and coercing him, the relationship between the several of them has become more complicated.

However, this is only the beginning, and more complicated and absurd things are bound to follow.

It turned out that just over a month ago, Qiu Pengyun learned an important piece of information from the mouth of the Minister of the Inner Court.

It is said that Tang Xuanzong will hold a concubine selection ceremony next year, that is, in the midsummer of 728 AD, and the methods and ways will remain the same.

When Qiu Pengyun heard this, there was such a good thing, and he was bound to turn over. However, what made him feel distressed was that he did not have a daughter under his knees, and he had never met any good woman with a delicate posture, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

At first, Qiu Pengyun planned to send Xu Ziyan to the palace, but because his son Qiu Jisheng liked Xu Ziyan, Qiu Pengyun didn't want Qiu Jisheng to be sad again, so he gave up.

Just when Qiu Pengyun was at a loss for what to do about it, he thought of a way that was not a solution, he wanted to send Xu Yuexiao to the palace.

With Xu Yuexiao's appearance and beauty, as long as it is slightly packaged, it will be competent, but it still lacks a due name.

After thinking about it, Qiu Pengyun decided to accept Xu Yuexiao as his righteous daughter. Let him enter the palace in this name can not only increase Xu Yuexiao's value but also make his position more stable, if Xu Yuexiao's performance is good enough, then he may be able to take a step to the sky from now on.

Without further ado, soon after learning about Tang Xuanzong's choice of concubines, Qiu Pengyun sent someone to inform the two of them about it.

Song Wanting learned that Xu Yuexiao was likely to have the opportunity to marry the emperor of the dynasty, and she had always loved money like her life, so she naturally would not easily give up this great opportunity to enjoy glory and wealth.

In stark contrast to Song Wanting's positive and enthusiastic attitude, Xu Yuexiao is because she still has one thing on her mind, and she can only make a clear statement after learning the final result of this matter.

Xu Yuexiao's so-called heart matter is Xu Sicong's attitude towards herself, and she will not agree to this matter until she is sure whether Xu Sicong really has no feelings for herself.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, Xu Yuexiao specially used some of the manpower assigned to her by Qiu Pengyun to secretly find Xu Sicong's whereabouts.

After learning about Xu Sicong's whereabouts, Xu Yuexiao also sent someone to inquire about Xu Sicong himself, and after Xu Sicong saw that person, he immediately asked him to bring a letter to Xu Yuexiao.

Xu Yuexiao was completely disheartened after reading the extremely heartless letter. Especially when she learned from her mouth that Xu Sicong was very likely to be engaged to Sui Yuexuan, she couldn't tolerate it even more.

For this reason, Xu Yuexiao hated because of love, and vowed to put Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan to death, and what she couldn't get by herself was unthinkable to others.

In fact, Xu Yuexiao was completely overwhelmed, because Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan were not engaged, but their relationship was about to collapse. And the relationship between the two of them is not what Xu Yuexiao imagined in his mind, with affection for you and me, but a unilateral crush that has never been said so far.
