On winter nights, the cold wind howls and crushed snow and ice crystals.

It's been snowing for a day. The snow is not big, like ice crystals, but it is also snow after all, dyeing the earth white, dyeing the eaves white, and the world is a new and quiet scene.

Wei Poppy stood in the courtyard of the Shaohua Palace, looking at a snow-covered peach tree branch in the courtyard, remembering that Ruyi pointed to the peach tree in the spring and said that he would wait for it to bear fruit and taste it together. But as a result, Ruyi was not in the palace when he was a child, and he thought that he could wait until the next year to bear fruit and taste it together. But now it seems that the end is far away.

Chun Tao saw the king standing under the tree through the window, and was so frightened that she hurriedly put on her coat and walked to the courtyard.

"The concubines didn't know that the king had come here, and they neglected the king, and asked the king to atone for their sins." Chun Tao said that she was trembling and was about to kneel down and ask for guilt.

Wei Poppy grabbed Chun Tao, who was about to kneel. "It's snow on the ground, be careful of getting cold."

A pair of warm palms instantly melted the little palace maid's heart.

A "creaking" sound of footsteps stepping on the broken snow shattered Chun Tao's sweet dream.

"Your Majesty. The girl has already left the Wei State and entered the territory of the Qi State. We can't follow anymore. Kang Ming reported to Wei Poppy in a low voice.

Wei Poppy was silent for a while, and then said as if he had made up his mind: "Go to Fengping Palace." ”

Ruyi and his entourage marched all the way to the northeast, passing through large plains and mountains, and crossing the Great Wall of Qi. When I was about to reach the shore of the Bohai Sea, I finally saw Linzi, the capital of Qi.

Linzi City is bordered by the Zi River in the east and the water in the west. The east, west and north are vast and fertile plains, the northeast is more than 100 miles away from the Bohai Sea, and the south is Jishan.

Linzi City is large-scale, and is connected by the "Southwest City" and the "Northeast Daguo". The big city was inhabited by commoners, and the small city was located in the southwest corner of the big city, where the marquis of Qi lived and the officials worked.

The city is even more magnificent, prosperous and lively, worthy of the mighty wind. Eight streets and nine mo, ten miles long street; The traffic is busy, and the river is endless; The voices of the people are full of voices, shoulder to shoulder.

There are many shops on Daguo Street in the northeast, and there are many sails on the wharf.

Xia He raised the curtain and looked at Linzi City in a new way, "Girl, this Linzi City is much bigger and more lively than Anhu City." ”

Ruyi looked out through the curtain raised by Xia He and saw the appearance of a bustling metropolis.

"It's true, I didn't expect Linzi to be so prosperous." Ruyi also nodded in praise.

Nie Zheng and Ruyi sat in the same carriage, Nie Zheng picked up the curtain of the other side of the car and looked out, and suddenly shouted: "Stop." ”

Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Nie Zheng jumped down.

I saw two military masters on the side of the road insulting an elderly woman and a young woman who fell to the ground. "The old immortal, the eyes are not long, even I dare to bump into it. Can you afford my garments? ”

"I'm sorry, sir, the road is slippery, I didn't mean to." The old woman kept bowing and apologizing.

One of the military masters looked at the young woman who fell to the ground with a smile and said obscenely: "Second brother, you see this girl is not bad." ”

The other soldier raised his foot and was about to kick at the old woman. Nie Zheng pinched the man's leg bone.

The man screamed like a pig. He sat on the ground and couldn't stand up. "Where's the little bunny?"

Nie Zheng ignored him, picked up the old woman and went to help the woman on the ground.

At this time, Ruyi and they all followed, and the two soldiers saw that Ruyi was outnumbered, and they were all dressed well. So the two quickly dragged their injured legs and fled.

Su Qin asked where the two went. After asking, I learned that the two were master and servants, and the family was in trouble. The servant escaped with her young lady and went to the capital to join her relatives.

"Where is the relative's house? Let's send you there. Su Ruiqing said enthusiastically.

The young woman said in a low voice, "My relatives are no longer in the capital. I don't know where to go. ”

I saw that the young woman looked like a beautiful woman, although she suffered hardships, she was still calm and serious, even if she was not a lady, she must be a small jasper.

Now everyone is in trouble, there is nowhere to go, how to send it over.

In the end, Ruyi spoke, "Otherwise, follow us first." ”

Everyone looked at Ruyi in unison. It was the servant woman who reacted first, and pulled her young lady to thank Ruyi.

The crowd returned to the carriage, and this time the young woman was in the same carriage as Ruyi.

"Don't know the girl's name yet?" Ruyi asked.

"My surname is Yu Mingjuan." The young woman looked back at Ruyi without any twist and replied, "Thank you for taking us in today." I'll figure it out as soon as I can, and I won't bother for too long. ”

"Don't take it personally, girl, we're new to the city. It's also a kind of fate to be able to help the girl. Ruyi said with a smile.

When the carriage stopped at the gate of a palace, I saw two big characters "Wu Palace" written on the plaque, and the courtyard was full of tall plane trees. The palace is majestic, and the high platforms are connected.

Even Su Ruiqing praised, "The post houses of Qi are so magnificent. ”

A group of people settled down, and Ruyi took a light car all the way into the palace.

Tian Yinqi has been looking forward to it for a long time. Until he saw Ruyi, Tian Yinqi still felt a little unreal, his sister had grown so big, inherited her mother's beauty, captivated the country and the city, and her personality was quite similar to her father, calm and rational, and strategic.

"Sister Wang is okay?" Tian Yinqi eagerly pulled Ruyi to look up and down.

"Brother Wang, I'm all right." Ruyi replied with a smile.

Ruyi didn't expect that the brother and sister were not estranged because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, but on the contrary, they were still familiar with each other. The concern in Brother Wang's eyes can't be faked, and his concern for himself is even more sincere. Ruyi's heart was shaken again. Here she got family affection, love and friendship. Do you really want to leave everything behind?

Tian Yinqi sent Ruyi's original favorite pastries to eat, and he still spoiled Ruyi like a child.

The brother and sister chatted about their experiences over the years, and before they knew it, it was the beginning of the candlelight.

"Sister Wang, come and live in the palace, this is your home." Before leaving, Tian Yinqi said earnestly.

"I'll be back to stay, but I still have a lot of friends to replace. Wait for me to settle down and then go to the palace to accompany Brother Wang. ”

Tian had to agree because he was not reluctant, he didn't ask Ruyi to listen to him in everything, he wanted Ruyi to be happy.

At this time, on the border of Qi State, a group of people wearing colorful clothes and black leggings, black cloaks, and black hoods appeared.

"Xiao Wu, we have entered the realm of Qi Kingdom." The hood obscured his face, and he could only hear the voice to tell that it was a man reporting to the person in charge.

The leader did not speak, but nodded. Standing on the hill, looking into the distance, looking at the mountains in the distance.
