Chapter 91: Two Old Men Come
"Thank you, princess!"
Qiu An and I walked towards Qianbaixuan's residence in the night, and Zhuang Shao shouted behind me.
Although this is my first time coming to Qianbaixuan, Zhuang Shao is a close confidant of the Emperor of the People, and he is more familiar with this place than me, but at this time, Zhuang Shao's attitude towards me is as if I am the hostess of this Qianbaixuan.
Qiu An first helped me make the bed, saluted me, and then hugged the new cover of the bed and walked out.
"I'm fine here, don't rush back to serve, you can hide outside and talk!"
I watched Qiu An hurriedly walk out and deliberately teased her.
"Princess, why do you always like to make fun of me!"
Qiu An was so anxious that he stomped his feet, looked a little annoyed, and made a gesture to throw away the quilt, and said: "Then I won't send it to him, let him freeze outside, I'll just throw this cover!"
I only smiled and didn't speak, Qiu An saw that I didn't persuade her, her face was a little embarrassed, her eyes rolled, and she said to herself: "This is the thing of His Majesty the Human Emperor, and it is disrespectful to throw it away, and it will be killed." ”
Qiu An ignored me after speaking, and trotted out with the quilt in his arms, and I was amused out laughing in the back.
Qiu'an had a smile in his eyebrows and eyes when he turned to go out, and the back of the trotting out was like Hanchun's little daughter.
I haven't seen Qiu An laugh like this for a long time, this time it's because of Zhuang Shao, when I was the only one left in the room, I sighed, looked at Qiu An's back and said, "Follow me You have suffered so much, now I just hope you can be happier." ”
In the next few days, he lived in Qianbaixuan with peace of mind, although the so-called protection of the emperor is not different from being confined, but it is rare to have green mountains and green waters, as well as endless heaven and earth aura, and the degree of food and clothing is of the highest quality, although there are fewer people, it is also some fun.
A few days later, the spirit bird in the imperial city sent a letter from Wubei Han, asking Zhuang Shao to return to the palace for something, and asked me if I had any favorite guards.
The spirit bird in the imperial city is also a holy relic, but when he saw the green phoenix in the courtyard, he looked respectful, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Zhuang Shao asked me inquiringly, "Is there a safe candidate for the princess?"
Like when we lived in the Hesui Palace before, we saw a lot of guards on patrol every day, but most of them didn't speak.
"How is Feibai?" Zhuang Shao saw that I hadn't answered for a long time, so he opened his mouth to mention Jingkang.
The first thing I thought of was Jingkang, but for some reason, I always felt awkward when I thought of facing him in this Qianbaixuan day and night.
"Just Helan Mingshan, who guarded me that day!" I shook my head at Zhuang Shao and proposed a new candidate.
Zhuang Shao's face flashed a hint of discoloration at first, and then nodded clearly, "He's a safe person." ”
Qiu An heard me mention Helan Mingshan, and his face was displeased.
"Why did the princess choose Helan Mingshan to come?"
After Qiu An waited for Zhuang Shao to retreat, he asked me incomprehensibly.
I glanced back at Qiu An, and saw that there was frost between her brows, and I still remembered the days of captivity in the Imperial City.
"Helan Mingshan, isn't he good?"
Qiu An still wanted to say something, glanced at me, and didn't continue, thinking that she also knew that Helan Mingshan was a loyal guard, but the tribulations experienced by our master and servant in the imperial city were always pressed in her heart, and it was so easy to forget it.
Not long after the spirit bird returned to the imperial city, Helan Mingshan was ordered to enter the enchantment.
His status in the Imperial City is not high, but it seems that it is not the first time he has come to Qianbai Xuan, and he is very familiar with the winding path hut inside.
When Qiu'an saw Helan Mingshan, he was always cold-eyed and cold-eyed, but when he said goodbye to Zhuang Shao, his eyes were slightly red, and he was quite reluctant.
"The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, I believe that I will soon be able to meet the princess in the imperial city, and my subordinates will leave. ”
Zhuang Shao bowed to me and said to me respectfully, as if I had become a noble person again.
Qiu An looked at Zhuang Shao beside me with some reluctance
Bite one's tongue.
"Miss Qiu'an, say goodbye, wait for the ...... to return to the imperial city"
Zhuang Shao didn't say what he said, his face was a little red, and he turned to leave.
Qiu An's face was even redder, staring at Zhuang Shao's departing figure, with some nostalgia.
"Hey, it's not okay if you don't go back to the Imperial City this time. ”
I pretended to sigh helplessly and said to Qiu'an.
Qiu An wanted to have a few words with me, but when he turned his head and saw Helan Mingshan standing respectfully on the side, a chill suddenly appeared on his face.
"Lord Helan, now that our princess lives in the Qianbai Xuan of His Majesty the Human Emperor, I wonder if you have anything to say?"
Although Qiu An's words were cynical, they were more of a hatred for what had happened to him in the Imperial City.
Helan Mingshan's expression was as usual, the sky was high and the clouds were faint between his eyebrows and eyes, and he still said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Humility is just to be loyal and conscientious, not to worship the high and low, and not to neglect his duties, so there is nothing to say." ”
On the surface, he was answering Qiu'an, but he called himself "lowly duty", which can be regarded as saying it to me.
I pulled Qiu An over and told her not to say these words again, and looked at Helan Mingshan with some appreciation.
Helan Mingshan did not despise me when I was down, nor did he come over to flatter me because I made a comeback, but he was a person who could be trusted.
"Very good, Lord Helan has such a heart, I admire it very much, I will return to the imperial city in the future, why don't you guard for me, how about it?"
Qiu An was very puzzled by my words, and wanted to say something anxiously, but suddenly remembered that I had just mentioned "back to the Imperial City", and his face turned from anger to joy.
Helan Mingshan saw that I didn't hold a grudge against him, and he also showed appreciation for him in his words, his eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, in fact, he knew in his heart that the reason why he was able to come here was naturally because I named him and asked by Wu Beihan.
"Princess, there are still people who come to see you, just outside the enchantment, after the princess agrees, let someone enter Qianbaixuan. ”
"Who is it?"
"Little princess of the fox clan, Bai Qingqing!"
"Don't hurry up yet, please!"
When I heard that Qingqing was coming, I couldn't help but feel happy, and I ran out of the courtyard without thinking about anything, and Qiu'an followed closely behind me.
Helan Mingshan took the Huangxiao Ling and waved it far away, and the door of the enchantment opened from the inside, and before Zhuang Shao left, he explained all the affairs in Qianbai Xuan to Helan Mingshan.
After the barrier was opened, Qingqing appeared at the door, her face mixed with joy and sorrow, and two lines of tears hung on her face.
"Sister!"
When Qingqing saw me, she ran to me, threw herself into my arms and cried.
"Okay, it's a joy for you and my sister to be reunited, why are you still crying?"
"I missed my sister after returning to the fox clan, but I didn't know that my sister suffered so much in the imperial city, and she almost died, if I was in the imperial city, I could naturally protect you. ”
Qingqing choked up and said to me, and pulled me to look me up and down, fortunately, Qianbaixuan has been eating and drinking well these days, and I am not allowed to worry about trivial matters, and I am not much thinner than before.
"If I hadn't left, no one would have dared to poison my sister, and my sister wouldn't have suffered such a big crime. ”
She was still haunted by the fact that she hadn't been able to protect me, and she brought it up again.
"If you stay, I'm afraid it will affect you, the matter at this moment is not trivial, it is not that simple. ”
Qingqing wanted to say something, but I saw that Helan Mingshan was still standing on the side, so I said to Qingqing: "Don't stand here, let's go to the house and talk." ”
I instructed Qiu An again: "Prepare a few more dishes for lunch, this little girl likes to eat vegetarian food." ”
Qiu An was also very happy when he saw Qingqing coming, said "yes" to me, and went to the dining room to work.
Qingqing and Qiu An were also familiar with each other, and shouted sweetly behind them: "Thank you, aunt!"
