【Northland/Shendu Thousand Blades/Cold Snow Castle/Once]

The Cold Snow Castle stood in the icy and snowy land of the Thousand Snow Realm, and the huge blue and white castle body loomed in the snow.

There is only one season a year, and snow and ice fall all year round. The land of a thousand snows is endless and snow-capped, and the only plants are rows of blue-black and white-dyed cedars dotted among the vast snow.

Northland Gongzi Xueyuan is a child born in this snowfield.

Since he can remember beating the son of Bei, he has always been strict with himself, and his work and rest are terrifying. Get up on time every hour, this is still when Xue Yuan is in the Cold Snow Castle, if he is in the barracks tent, he will only get up earlier.

On this day, Xue Yuan got up and changed into a set of white and silver-veined clothes, and his clothes were almost all white, just like the snow in the Northland.

Pushing open the door, Xue Yuan saw the few servants in the Northland Cold Snow Castle walking down the aisle.

There have always been few servants in the Cold Snow Castle, and they can't compare with the other three masters at all, and even the number of ordinary big families has more people than the Cold Snow Castle.

This is not only because the Northland is already sparsely populated, but also because there are only four masters living in this Cold Snow Castle: Beidi Xueming, Lady Xuehan, Gongzi Xueyuan and Miss Azhao.

When those servants saw Gongzi Xueyuan, they saluted and said, "Childe." ”

Xue Yuan nodded politely and continued to walk down the aisle. Xue Yuan was about to walk into the hall where he used to have breakfast, when Pei Pei came over and stopped him.

"Childe, Childe. ”

Xue Yuan turned around and smiled, "Peipei." ”

Pei Peisheng's small jasper is gentle and lovely.

She always wore bright makeup, two or three delicate edelweiss hairpins on her head, a warm mink shawl with a thick embroidered jacket under the shawl, a warm hand stove in her hand, and mid-heeled velvet shoes under her feet.

That kind of clothing was only worn by the nobles in the Northlands.

Cold Snow Castle has always been kind to its subordinates, not to mention the daughter of Liuzhangqing. Pei Pei's mother, Liuzhangqing, used to be Mrs. Xuehan's saber maid, and died when she rounded up snow spiders for Mrs. Xuehan, who was still the third lady of the Liuzhang family.

Pei Pei's dress doesn't look like a maid at all, but like a young lady from a rich family. Her pretty face was red, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because she had rubbed fat powder.

Maybe it's just because I saw Childe Xueyuan.

She hurried towards the source of snow with small steps, and fell under her feet without paying attention, and threw herself forward.

"Be careful!" Xue Yuan's hand quickly caught her, and the sweet fragrance of Pei Pei's body hit Xue Yuan. Xue Yuan saw her standing firmly, and immediately let go of Peipei, and took two steps back without being rude.

Xueyuan has always respected women and never exceeded the rules.

"It's so cold that I can't even take a step on my feet. Pei Pei looked at him, his voice gentle and delicate.

In fact, her clothes are excellent, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so cold that she can't take a step.

But of course Xue Yuan didn't think much about it, Pei Pei said so, and he thought that Pei Pei was weak and had low spiritual power.

"Peipei doesn't have to get up so early, so he can sleep more when it's cold. Xue Yuan kindly persuaded that the petite and lovely woman in front of her had been taking care of Xue Yuan's diet and daily life, and she was the gentle big sister in Xue Yuan's heart.

"This can't be done, Childe got up so early, Pei Pei can't afford it, who will take care of Childe?" Pei Pei's eyes floated with half a bright coquettishness.

"I don't care. Xue Yuan hurriedly said that he had never liked to cause trouble to others.

"It doesn't matter to the child, but Peipei will feel distressed. As he spoke, Pei Pei smiled playfully, revealing his snow-white teeth, "Madame just called me to come to find Childe, Childe go to Madame's bedroom to say goodbye, Madame loves Childe, and I think about it very much if I haven't seen him for a day." ”

Mrs. Xuehan looking for him?

Xue Yuan thought to himself, his mother hadn't looked for him early in the morning, this was definitely something important to explain.

Thinking to himself, Xue Yuan nodded to Pei Pei, smiled, and walked towards Mrs. Xue Han's bedroom.

Xue Ming's wife, Mrs. Xue Han, whose real name is Liuzhang Ni, is the third lady of the Liuzhang family, and Mrs. Xue Han also has a terrifying title: "Snow Spider".

The snow spider was originally the lady's spirit animal, just because this spirit beast was so famous, after being tamed by the third lady of the Liuzhang family, the snow spider became her pronoun.

Mrs. Xue Han is the stepmother of Xue Yuan and Xue Yuan's sister, but she treats the two children as her own.

Mrs. Xuehan and Beidi Xueming did not sleep in the same place. is different from Duo Yiba, who sings every night, the Northern Emperor is more like the Heavenly Emperor Fu Yi, who is pure and has few desires, like the ice and snow in the North.

Mrs. Xuehan lived in a spacious conservatory on the east side of Hanxue Castle, and she lit a carbon fire day and night.

Xue Yuan, who had no habit of producing carbon, frowned slightly when he walked into his wife's room, and took off his white brocade coat.

Lady Xuehan sat by the window in a dark blue brocade and gold dress, wrapped in a blanket of a thousand-year-old snow fox, her ankle-length black hair was simply half-pulled up, and the pearls of the North Earth that adorned her hair swayed brightly, and those stunning pearls were so dazzling even in the daytime.

Mrs. looks like she is thirty or five, dignified and cold without losing her majesty, and her charm is not diminished Twenty-eight girl, the cold face with deep eyebrows and a high bridge of the nose and those shining eyes can always make people respect, and at a glance you can see that this is not a character to mess with.

Mrs. is not Xueyuan and Azhao's biological mother, she is the stepwife of Beidi Xueming, but Xueyuan and Azhao were raised by her. Madame has not been able to have children for many years, and she herself seems to have given up the idea of giving birth to a third son or a third lady for Beidi, and takes care of Xue Yuan and Ah Zhao as her own.

Lady Xuehan's spiritual power is not low. But what the world is more afraid of is not her spiritual power, but her terrifying spirit beast snow spider.

Xue Yuan stood at the door of his wife's bedroom and saluted, "Mother." ”

"Ah Yuan. Madame called her, a faint smile on her lips, and waved him close to her.

Summoning Xue Yuan in the early morning, it was such a slightly subtle light smile, and Xue Yuan, who had always known how to observe words and colors, understood eight or nine points in his heart.

If there is something about the mother, it is still more difficult to speak.

Madame Xuehan is a shrewd and powerful woman. Everyone up and down the Cold Snow Castle knows that it is not the Northern Emperor Xueming who really takes care of the Cold Snow Castle, but the Lady of the Snow Cold.

Just looking at the fact that Miss Liuzhangsan was able to become the stepwife of Beidi back then, you can understand that this woman who always stays in the warm pavilion is not a simple character.

Beidi Xueming's temperament is actually quite jumpy, and it can be said that he is a little careless. It used to be good in the war years, but now that the peaceful days have passed, he has become more and more free to do whatever he wants and not ask about mundane things, especially after marrying a wife who can take care of everything clearly, he doesn't care about anything except his cultivation.

In his spare time, he often fiddles with the pearls secretly cut from Mrs. Xuehan's hairpin, and fiddles with them all morning, or sleeps in various nonsensical places, such as the aisle, such as the balcony.

Mrs. Xue Han squinted at him a lot for this reason, but Beidi Xue Ming didn't know if he was really confused or pretending to be confused, so he didn't see it.

Xue Yuan sat in front of Mrs. Xue Han, and he glanced at the several volumes of open official documents in front of Mrs. Xuehan.

"Mother, is this a gift from the border?"

Mrs. Xue Han glanced at it and closed the official document: "You don't have to worry about this. As the heir of the Northern Emperor, you can concentrate on learning and cultivating now. There is a mother to take care of the complicated affairs in the realm of a thousand snows, and when you succeed to the throne, your sister will also assist you like your mother. ”

Xue Yuan looked at the tiredness on her mother's face that was easily imperceptible, and her heart was not happy. Mother is always busy, and so is my sister, who is taught by my mother. The women of Cold Snow Castle may not have the best spiritual power, but they are definitely virtuous helpers who can take care of the rear for men.

"Source" in the North Land means the center, the source. "Zhao" in the north means noble, mirror.

Although Xue Zhao is a good name for the nobles of the Northland, Mingjing is always used to dress properly and trim the face, which is supplemented after all.

Xue Yuan didn't know if this was right or wrong, just like many other things.

Since ancient times, men's spiritual potential and perseverance have been much higher than women's, so the apocalypse of male superiority and female inferiority has existed since ancient times. To this day, although it is much better than in ancient times, it still exists.

Looking at the four directions, the Northern Land and the Central Continent Divine Land are heavier than the other three places, and the most enlightened is only Nanze, Nanze's feminine spiritual art is more suitable for women to cultivate.

"Ah Yuan, you have grown up, do you have a favorite girl?" The mother took a pot of hot black tea from the small table beside her, poured a cup for Xue Yuan, and took a piece of white cloud cake and stuffed it into Xue Yuan's hand.

Xue Yuan took a bite, and the cold and delicate pastry turned into a trace of sweetness in his mouth. Then Xue Yuan shook his head.

"Mother, the son-in-law is talking about marriage now, it's early. Xue Yuan smiled bitterly, he really hadn't thought about this question, "Besides, Erchen really doesn't have a favorite woman." ”

"It's not early. Mrs. Xue Han looked at him fixedly, and said with a smile, for some reason, Xue Yuan always felt that his mother's smile was a little bitter.

"You are the heir of the Northern Emperor, even if you don't get married immediately, you should be married at this age. As she spoke, Mrs. Xuehan pulled the blanket she was draping on.

Xue Yuan saw that his mother was afraid of the cold, so he thoughtfully added carbon to a hand warmer beside him and handed it to his mother to cover her hands.

"This winter, it's really cold. It's colder than ever. Mrs. Xuehan rubbed the hand warmer, "Think about how fast time is, in a blink of an eye, I don't know how many cold winters I have stayed in this cold snow castle." Obviously, the lilac boudoir of Liuzhang's house is still in front of me, so clear. ”

"When my mother married my father, she must have loved my father very much, right? My mother was afraid of the cold, but she married in this extremely cold place. Xue Yuan said, and then he changed his words lightly, "Xue Yuan also wants to be like his mother, and he can finally become a family with the girl he likes." ”

Mrs. Xue Han chuckled and shook her head, "Back then, I didn't see your father a few times, where did I get my love." If my age were to be said to your father as a daughter, it would have been said in the past. But I married him anyway. Married here. ”

Mrs. Xue Han always remembered something from the past, her tone was soft, and her eyebrows and eyes were like silk, "Back then, there were as many women who wanted to marry your father as if they were crossing the river, but not everyone had this qualification and opportunity. The Liuzhang family was so brilliant back then, and your mother, with the identity of the third lady of Liuzhang, saw the opportunity again, and her heart was clear enough to marry your father. ”

Although the Liuzhang family is now in decline because it does not have a master with supreme spiritual power, it was once one of the best families even if you look at the entire Apocalypse, and there were two and nearly five Kuotian in the heyday of the family. Beidi Xueming's father, Beidi Yun, married a wife who was also a noble lady of the Liuzhang family, and the eldest lady Liuzhangqing.
