There is a clear lake in the valley, and the lake surface is floating with lotus leaves, water lilies, and all kinds of swimming fish, which is an excellent place in the valley. At this moment, two and a half children were fighting in the waterfront by the lake.

It is not correct to say that it is fighting, because if you have a little martial arts foundation, you can see that this man, a woman, and two children are not scuffling and rolling on the ground, but competing like adults.

Among them, the girl was no more than five years old, with two buns combed and two pink blue ribbons wrapped around her pigtails, and her big black eyes shimmered with a smart and lovely light. She made a move but was sharp and decisive, not like a five-year-old girl, if she was replaced by an ordinary adult man, I was afraid that she couldn't help but give her a few clicks.

And the one who fought with her was a little boy who was a head taller than her, and his immature face was a little more calm than his age. With a face as white as jade, wearing a jade crown and a cyan moire dress, he knew at a glance that he was definitely a beautiful man who fascinated thousands of girls when he grew up.

The two have been playing for almost a stick of incense, the little boy is just defending from beginning to end, but the girl is sharp and decisive, shooting like the wind, attacking his lower plate several times, trying to knock him into the water. But the little boy obviously practiced martial arts earlier than the girl, and his natural strength was greater, and the girl pretended to show flaws several times, and the little boy didn't seem to see it, so he only defended and didn't attack.

"If you can't beat it, leave quickly, so you won't be allowed to see my father!" The girl shot faster, and her little face was already sweating slightly.

"Shui'er, don't fight, it's all my aunt's fault......" Xu Lian watched the two villains fight for a long time, crying and laughing.

If it weren't for Chu Shui'er hearing that there was a boy of the same age in the villa, she was curious to take a look, but she was joking for a while and said the joke she used to have, and she wouldn't have made such a fuss in front of her.

Xu Lian didn't say that it was okay, but when she said that Chu Shui'er made a faster move.

"Hmph, I can't believe you can't help you!" Chu Shui'er glared at the little brother in front of her angrily, although she wanted to play with him when she saw him for the first time, but when she remembered what Aunt Xu said, this hateful little brother might have come to let her father and mother marry her to him, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry.

She was promised to this person before she was born?

How did my mother do it, didn't she like Shui'er and wanted to give her away early?

A touch of cunning flashed in his eyes, and Chu Shui'er shouted violently: "Look at the move!" ”

A blue figure retreated rapidly, and the little boy's arms were flat, flying up like a crane, and landed steadily five feet away. Stabilizing his figure, he finally withdrew his hand, and a warm smile appeared on his lips: "Sister Shui'er, you can't beat me, let's stop fighting, I'm coming to find your father today......"

Suddenly, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong under his feet. Before he could jump away, the wooden planks of the waterside promenade, which was obviously stable and sturdy, contracted like a mechanism, revealing a big hole.

The little boy fell into the water unexpectedly, and with a bang, the lake splashed, startling away a group of swimming fish.

"Hahahaha, fooled, fooled!" Chu Shui'er slapped happily and laughed.

In the distance, a pair of young men and women who looked like beautiful people lived through the three-story water pavilion lake, condescendingly, and saw everything just now.

"Look at your baby daughter, she actually pit people into the water, and if you can't beat it, she will make a ghost idea, and she will be as alive as your mother." Nalan Ye stood tall and jade, standing at the door of the highest place of the lake residence, the surrounding turquoise bamboo buildings and his loose robe blended together, standing near the door, elegant and peaceful, as light as a fairy.

The woman in white beside her was Luo Qingluan, but she raised her lips and didn't care: "So what, Shui'er is already small, and his martial arts are not as good as him, since he can't beat him, why can't he find a way?" ”

She pursed her lips: "Girls are inherently inferior to boys in this regard, do you have to use your own shortcomings to benefit others?" How can it be so stupid! ”

"Okay, I can't talk about you."

Nalan Ye smiled helplessly, not wanting to argue with his wife, but after waiting for a while, he saw that Chu Shui'er in front of him was still on the water pavilion, lying on the railing as if he was saying something, and Xu Lian was also a little wrong, he also felt that there was something wrong.

"Why hasn't Changyi come up yet? Isn't he water-based? ”

As soon as Nalan Ye said this, Luo Qingluan frowned: "Yes, I remember Su Yi said that this child will swim when he is three years old, why is it now...... Shouldn't he scare Shui'er too? ”

No matter what, after all, they knew the identity of this little boy, and the two didn't want him to have an accident in their villa. At that moment, Nalan Ye grabbed Luo Qingluan's waist, and his body swept up quickly, like a flying flying in the wind, flying straight down.

The little boy who was swimming back to the shore in the lake seemed to notice something, and when he looked up, he was already stupid.

A light suddenly shot out of his eyes, with strong hope and ecstasy, as if it was only at this time that he really believed what his father had said. He, Uncle Chu, is the best in the world in martial arts, not to mention leading thousands of troops and horses to destroy the enemy country with the power of one person, even if it is himself, he is an unimaginable superlative person, comparable to heaven and man.

Nangong Changyi always thought that his father was exaggerating, and Uncle Wang, the commander of the forbidden army who usually taught him martial arts, was very powerful, but it was not as exaggerated as his father said. But it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes that he was amazed, and it really lived up to his name......

At the very least, he only read this outstanding light skill in resisting the wind, and he only read it in the book written by the second uncle.

"What's wrong, Shui'er?"

Luo Qingluan landed steadily on the water pavilion and walked quickly towards her daughter.

When she saw that the little boy in the lake was not drowning, but was soaking in the water staring blankly at Nalan Ye behind her, still holding a light blue golden silk jade heart lotus in her hand, she was relieved.

"Mother, mother!" Chu Shui'er screamed happily and threw herself into Luo Qingluan's arms, very happy: "Little brother picked flowers for me, he picked Shui'er's favorite flower!" ”

Luo Qingluan was stunned for a moment, and showed a bright smile to her daughter: "Good Shui'er, Brother Changyi fell into the water, we should save him and come up first, right?" Why did he still pick that flower? ”

Chu Shui'er immediately said: "It's Shui'er who says he wants it, and he ...... it."

As soon as she said this, she noticed something, and suddenly covered her small mouth, but it was too late.

"Wow, Chu Shui'er, you're fat, aren't you? How many times has my mother told you, the golden silk jade heart lotus was planted to refine medicine for your father, your Uncle Yuan came back thousands of miles away, and it took your mother three years to raise it, and you still went to pick it!? ”

"Ahh It's not about the water......"

Seeing that his mother suddenly turned from a gentle fairy to a tigress, Chu Shui'er turned around and hid behind her father: "Daddy saved Shui'er, it was picked by the little brother, not by the water, if the mother wants to beat the little brother, don't hit the water......"

The poor little girl suddenly screamed, pointing to Nangong Changyi, who had just climbed ashore: "Mother, look at it, the flowers are still in the hands of the little brother, wow...... Dad, my mother is going to fetch water......"

Luo Qingluan angrily lifted her skirt and walked over, dragged out her daughter who was hiding behind Nalan Ye, and spanked her with a snap: "You still dare to say it!" If you hadn't asked Brother Changyi to pick flowers, why didn't he go ashore quickly when he fell into the water? You still blame others, how does your mother usually teach you, don't shirk responsibility, I don't hear it...... I'm! ”

As he spoke, he snapped his hand, but after all, he was afraid that he would hurt his daughter with a heavy hand, so he lightened his strength after hitting twice.

"Aunt Luo, don't hit the water sister, I picked the flowers, if you want to beat me, just beat me."

Suddenly, the wet young man who had already gone ashore came over and handed over the flowers in his hand with a guilty face: "It was I who made Shui'er's sister unhappy, so I thought about picking flowers to make compensation, who knows...... Aunt Luo, punish me. ”

Originally, Luo Qingluan was just to scare her daughter, how could she be willing to really punish her, and when she saw Nangong Changyi taking the initiative to apologize, she took advantage of the situation to let go of Chu Shui'er: "What, Changyi, do you really want to admit punishment for Shui'er?" ”

Nangong Changyi nodded and snorted.

Although it was the first time he saw Luo Qingluan, he had already heard his mother say it many times, and now when he saw the beautiful fairy-like woman dressed in white, he immediately understood that this was his Aunt Luo.

No wonder Sister Shui'er is so cute, it turned out that she followed Aunt Luo, the little boy secretly thought in his heart.

The height has just reached Luo Qingluan's shoulders, and compared to Nalan Ye, Nangong Changyi is even more immature like a newborn green bamboo. Wet all over, there are still a few strands of black hair stuck to the face, and there is a touch of blackness in the tender white, which makes people even more pitiful.

Without mentioning the two sentences, Luo Qingluan naturally would not blame a child, so he hurriedly took Nangong Changyi to bathe and change clothes. Chu Shui'er was just beaten up, where did he dare to stay in front of him, and ran away like a rabbit.

The two walked slowly along the wooden water pavilion, the lake breeze blew, with a faint fragrance of flowers, Luo Qingluan raised his eyebrows, and said, "What do you think of Changyi?" ”

No matter how ordinary a sentence is, Nalan Ye can immediately understand what she means: "It's not bad." Although he is only seven years old, he is already quite an adult. Calm, not arrogant or impatient, Shui Er attacked him so much, he only defended and did not attack, not only has a man's generosity and mind, but also judges the situation, knows that he has a heavy responsibility, and instead of his father, he has a request for others, and knows how to advance and retreat. ”

Luo Qingluan nodded: "I was put into the water by Shui'er, and as a prince, I didn't have any temper, so in order to make Shui'er happy, I went to pick flowers for her." So, whether it's a good temper or a lot of means, I know how to make girls happy, I think your daughter will like this kid in the future. ”

"What, you can't bear it?" Nalan Ye hooked Luo Qingluan's chin, looking doting.

"I have already made a marriage contract with Su Yi, and I originally thought that she would give birth to a daughter next time and marry that kid from our family, but it turned out to be ......" Luo Qingluan hammered Nalan Ye's heart and glared at him: "It's all because you don't fight and cause me to give birth to a daughter, hum!" The daughter is going to get married, and the baby daughter who has worked hard to bring up will be cheaper than others......"

"Do you still want to keep your daughter as an old girl?"

Nalan couldn't cry or laugh at night, and hugged her gently: "Okay, how big is the water, you are a mother to worry about this." ”

Thinking of Nangong Changyi's performance just now, as well as his appearance and character, Luo Qingluan changed his mind, and a smile rose on his lips: "You don't know why this kid Changyi came to us, right?" Xu Wei told me, there are still a lot of people at the foot of the mountain, they didn't dare to come up, Nangong Qing has not sent someone to you all these years. But as soon as you let go of your military power, you will be treated like a broom if others can't ask for it......"

Nalan Ye scratched her delicate and fair face, and said lovingly: "Do you still want to go out?" Isn't it fun to cultivate oneself here? ”

"Don't!" Luo Qingluan shook her head, she was tired of the outside.

finally found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, like a fairyland, and no one cares what she wants to do freely, she will only go out when her brain is pumped. However, she said this not for herself, but for her children.

She has experienced a lot, she has seen everything, and the events of those two or three years are more thrilling than the experiences of other people's lifetimes. She is not the kind of ambitious, let alone a lonely character, or from now on, staying with Nalan Night in the mountains and rivers is the happiest life.

But for the sake of the future of her two children, she naturally still has to think about it.

Two days later, the team that came out of the palace returned to the capital in a mighty way, but there was one less person.

In the harem, Nangong Qing handed the letter brought back by Gonggong Liu to Queen Su Yi: "Qingluan's reply to you, you can also take a look at ......"

Before she finished speaking, Su Yi took it apart in surprise, and after reading it twice, she couldn't help but look a little strange. I can't laugh, I can't cry, I can't bear it, I feel distressed, but I feel that this is a great thing.

"Chang Yi really didn't come back?" She asked tentatively.

"Well, stay in Hidden Lake Villa, Ziqing said that he would personally train Chang Yi, and I didn't expect such a result this time." Nangong Qing's face was serious, and he couldn't help but laugh after a moment: "It seems that he really likes Chang Yi, otherwise, according to Ziqing's temper, how can he easily accept apprentices and teach them to him?" ”

"But ......"

Su Yi was a little reluctant: "Chang Yi is only seven years old, and he will leave when he says he will go, and the concubine is really distressed." ”

Nangong Qing sat beside her and said meaningfully: "What, Ah Yi, you haven't figured it out yet?" The man is at ease in all directions, and Ziqing personally trains him, are you afraid that Changyi will not be the next King of Chu in the future? The rivers and mountains of Xichu are handed over to him, and I can rest assured. ”

"And it's not like it's not coming back. Maybe ten years later, Changyi will bring you a daughter-in-law. ”

couldn't help but be stunned, Su Yi thought for a while before reacting, and said in surprise: "You mean Qingluan's daughter Shui'er?" ”

"The two are childhood sweethearts and grow up together, isn't it the best to cultivate feelings? I can make a lot of money this time, hahahaha......" Nangong Qing laughed loudly, holding Su Yi's shoulder and feeling satisfied.

There was a cheerful laugh in the hall, and the palace maids waiting outside the hall couldn't help but smile at each other, it seems that His Majesty and Niangniang are in a good mood.

In the outer courtyard of the hall, in the water tank in the corner, the water lily bloomed faintly, and a dragonfly landed on it.

The early summer afternoon is quiet and cozy......
