At night, there was a light breeze and the sky was overcast, there was no moon or starlight, only black.

As summer is approaching, the summer insects also begin to sing loudly, and the whole lakeside is filled with the singing of summer insects, which is unusually loud in this quiet night.

The willow tree shook lightly, and a lewd figure was lying on the willow tree, with a pair of thief's eyes, looking left and right, and his face was restless.

Damn Long Lingyue, it can't be that she forgot to read the note she gave today, it's already this time, and she hasn't come yet.

Xia Qiqi anxiously hammered the delicate willow tree, the willow body trembled slightly, and the little bird that originally perched on the willow tree was also shocked and quickly instigated its wings and left the willow tree, leaving a sound of wings fluttering.

Xia Qiqi was shocked, and secretly bit his hand, if someone came later, it was none of his business, it was all the fault of this hand.

But fortunately, after a few minutes, no one came, and of course, Long Lingyue, who she had been thinking about, did not come.

Since she thought about pretending to be a ghost that day, her heart has not calmed down for a long time, and she has been planning what to do in the past few days to make it appear more real and make Long Yuechen believe that there are ghosts in this world.

After thinking about it repeatedly, she finally decided last night to pull Long Lingyue in, and even if the matter was revealed, there would still be Long Lingyue, the princess, in front of her.

Although Long Lingyue doesn't look reliable, she is still Long Yuechen's own sister, and she is better than an outsider like her.

In the middle of the day, I bribed a little eunuch and asked him to bring a small note to Long Lingyue, but his own small note was sent out, but Long Lingyue has not come yet, could it be that her plan has not been exposed before it has been implemented?

Xia Qiqi was anxious, seeing that this time was getting later and later, she couldn't help but feel a sense of retreat in her heart, this was obviously past the time she agreed with her, but she hadn't come yet, she looked, nine times out of ten she was discovered, if she hurried back to bed now, it would be better to explain a little when the time came, if she had been staying here, she would have to be discovered sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xia Qiqi walked out from under the willow tree, and was about to leave quickly when a crisp voice sounded in this silent night.

"Master, what fun are you looking for me?"

Xia Qiqi's figure trembled slightly, turned his head stiffly, and saw a girl appear behind him at some point.

Since it was night, he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, and could only see a vague outline, but with this very unbeatable voice, Xia Qiqi also knew that the person opposite him was the Long Lingyue who he had been waiting for for a long time.

Long Lingyue, like Xia Qiqi, was in his own small courtyard, thinking about it behind closed doors for a long time, and now he suddenly sneaked out on this kind of night, and his mood was naturally excited, even those big eyes were shining with light, although it was night, but those eyes were unusually bright, so bright that Xia Qiqi's heart suddenly felt irritable.

It's so hateful, I've been standing here for so long, my legs are numb, although summer is approaching, but I've been standing like this, blowing the cool night breeze, and she's cold.

It's good that this princess has been late for so long, and now she dares to look at her so happily, she really thinks she is a soft persimmon, so bullying!

With a burst of annoyance in his heart, he quickly walked in front of Long Lingyue, found the right position, formed two fingers into a claw shape, and used one force, only to hear "Oops!" With a sound, Xia Qiqi pushed away another half step, hugged his arms, and looked at Long Lingyue proudly.

"Master, why did you hit me all of a sudden?" Moreover, she beat so hard that she was about to get a bag on her head.

Long Lingyue covered his head with both hands, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Xia Qiqi without being aggrieved.

"You're embarrassed to say, let me ask you, why did you come so late, do you know how late you were? An hour, do you know that I waited for you for more than an hour, and you said you should fight! ”

It's okay not to mention this, as soon as she mentions this Xia Qiqi's temper is rising, she Xia Qiqi has lived for more than 20 years, this is the first time that someone has made her wait so long, and that person has not had the slightest sense of shame because of being late.

Not only does she want to hit her, she also wants to pull her up and beat her up to let her know how good she is!

"This ...... I'm not late, this is Master, you took the initiative to call me, I came half an hour early, how could I be late. ”

Long Lingyue felt so aggrieved, and when she left, she deliberately looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before she arrived, and the time that the master agreed with her was also the time.

"Half an hour early? So what time is it? ”

Xia Qiqi was speechless for a while, she really wanted to pry open the head of this princess to take a look, obviously as an ancient person, but she couldn't tell what was going on in her era? This princess doesn't look stupid, she can't even tell the time.

It's already late now, and the time they agreed on is the hour, a whole hour apart, according to modern calculations, an hour, is two hours, and she waited for her here for more than two hours.

Finally, when she didn't say anything, she actually said that she was half a quarter of an hour early!

"It's supposed to be just time to arrive, and the time we made an appointment is not exactly ......"

For the rest of the words, Long Lingyue didn't continue.

On the shore of the lake, the former tranquility has returned, and only the squeaking of summer insects can be heard.

Xia Qiqi was completely embarrassed, and she finally understood now why Long Lingyue came at this time.

It's not the princess's fault at all, it's her fault.

As a modern person, I have never written calligraphy, and in addition, I don't know much about this time in ancient times.

This time she secretly asked Long Lingyue to come out, in order not to be discovered, she came to Yangchun and they didn't tell her, completely relying on the small note she wrote.

I don't say if the hour on the note is written correctly, maybe the words are written wrong, so this also leads to such a situation.

Xia Qiqi scratched her head embarrassedly, fortunately it was at night, and her face was also covered by black clouds, if it was placed in sunny daylight, Long Lingyue would definitely find that the master she read in her mouth was like a ripe duck at this time, and her face was red to her neck.

And Long Lingyue paused halfway through his words, naturally because he found a problem here.

But now that Xia Qiqi is her master, she hasn't learned anything, so in order not to offend her master, she has to cover her mouth and hold it there.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and the two young women stood under the willow tree like this, standing quietly in the dark night, and no one could speak again.

Knowing that a fierce night wind was blowing, the two of them exclaimed in surprise and gathered the clothes on their bodies, Xia Qiqi felt that it was not a way to be embarrassed like this, so he had to purse his lips, thought about it, and said.

"That...... We won't discuss this matter if we are late, but let's get down to business. ”

"Well, yes, Master!" Long Lingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that they would be so embarrassed, after all, she was now an apprentice, so it was not good to say anything first, and now the master opened her mouth, which just resolved their embarrassment.

"Since you worship me as your master, then the worship of the master must be indispensable......"

"So that's it, Master, don't worry, I have gold and silver treasures, poems, books, calligraphy and paintings here, I don't lack anything, how much you want, if you want it, just go to me and get it!"

Xia Qiqi was just halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Long Lingyue, and she felt helpless for a while, what she wanted to say was not this.

"I don't want your gold and silver treasures, nor your poems, books, calligraphy and paintings, I just need you to help me with something."

Xia Qiqi stepped forward and took half a step, and said to Long Lingyue with a mysterious expression.

As a thief, she will come out of this huge palace in the future, gold and silver treasures, poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, these things are not easy for her to catch, but now if she takes Long Lingyue's things, it will still be a burden to run away when the time comes, why should she rush these things.

"Huh? In this case, what do you want, master? ”

Long Lingyue scratched her head, her face was unclear So, this is the first time she has seen someone who doesn't want money, as a princess of a country, her wealth is naturally immeasurable, she also thought that since she worshipped her as a teacher, she should seize this opportunity and extort a sum of money, but she didn't expect her master to be so noble and not interested in fame and fortune!

Long Lingyue's eyes suddenly bloomed with a huge light, as if he was about to light up the night sky. Xia Qiqi's image, in her heart, instantly became higher than ten thousand.

She is really a good master for nothing this time! Who else worships the master like her master, who is high-spirited and does not seek fame and fortune? This is the real Master!

Poor Long Lingyue didn't know that the reason why her noble master didn't take her gold and silver treasures was actually to treat her treasures as a burden and troublesome.

And Xia Qiqi didn't know, because of his casual words, he had a loyal little follower by his side, a noble little fan, and a good friend who could be trusted.

"I'm ......"

Xia Qiqi suddenly leaned into Long Lingyue's ear in the dark night, following the direction of the voice, and whispered.

"I want you to help me play a ghost!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew violently, and the wind was mixed with a unique rustling sound, and the hair of the two was immediately blown in the wind, and the cold wind, through the silk dress, directly penetrated into the skin of the two, and a cold and gloomy breath arose, from the inside to the outside, penetrating into the entire body!

Long Lingyue has been well protected since she was a child, so she has never seen such an infiltrating scene, she couldn't stand the fright for a while, screamed, jumped a step back, hugged her body tightly with both hands, and looked around with frightened eyes.

"Who! Who's there to sneak around, to this princess out! Ben, this princess has been martial arts since she was a child, I ...... I'm not afraid of you! ”

Long Lingyue's voice was trembling, even if it was dark night, Xia Qiqi could imagine her current movements.

He pursed his lips and said disdainfully.

"Princess, there's no one here, it's just a gust of wind."

I didn't expect this princess, who claimed to have practiced martial arts since childhood, to be so weak, it was just a gust of wind, what was there to fear.

What Xia Qiqi didn't know was that he had been a thief for seven or eight years, and he often acted at night like this, and he had already seen it strange, so naturally it was nothing.

But Long Lingyue is different, a child who has been held in the palm of his hand since he was a child and raised with a delicate crown, although he went to learn art when he was young, but he also went with Long Tianyi, plus he was a princess, naturally no one dared to bully, and it was normal not to see this kind of scene.
