"What, it turns out that little brother, you are the Ren Zihua who was on the news some time ago." In front of the dining table full of various home-cooked dishes, the owner of the sword shop smiled a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect my daughter to always be able to make friends with such celebrities, hahaha, you two shouldn't be in love, right?" ”

"Here we go again, Dad, why do you always like to say things that don't have a head or brain." Lin Yuqin pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, and the piece of meat that she originally wanted to clip to the man next to her was also stuffed into her bowl, "If you don't eat, go out, it's really annoying." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll just shut up." The sword shop owner laughed to himself as he spoke.

"Don't be angry, Sister Qinqin, uncle just likes to joke." Ren Zihua, who was dragged in to have dinner with him before he could figure out the situation, comforted him a little unnaturally at this time, "It's rare for a parent with a sense of humor like my uncle now, hahaha." ”

"I can't see that your kid is not only talented, but also quite good at talking, if you want to marry my daughter in the future, I can charge you a little less for the dowry." After the man finished speaking, he immediately looked at his daughter who seemed to be angry, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, eat!" ”

"Uncle really hasn't changed at all." Xi Meng, who was sitting opposite Ren Zihua, was obviously not the first time to come to Senior Sister's house, she didn't have Ren Zihua's slightly embarrassed appearance at all, and joked with Lin Yuqin's father very openly, "I always like to make my senior sister happy, but it's really bad." ”

Slowly, Ren Zihua was moved by the comfortable and warm atmosphere between father and daughter in front of him, and he soon stopped being cramped, picked up chopsticks and ate big.

In the small room where Lin Yuqin's father usually lives in the sword shop, the atmosphere of four people eating at the same table really feels like a family.

"Speaking of which, good daughter, you haven't called Yinmi and Zhao Kaifeng for a long time to come to our house for dinner, you three shouldn't be awkward, right?" The words of the young father, who had a fashionable hairstyle, broke the originally delicate atmosphere at the dinner table, "Although it is not easy for Yinmi's girl to come out, it won't take so long——"

"Don't you know, Dad, I'm about to get married." Lin Yuqin couldn't hide her sadness and interrupted, her whole person seemed to have lost her soul all of a sudden, "And that Prince Wilson, just this Saturday night." ”

"Really?" The man still had an innocent smile on his face, as if he didn't know about his daughter's emotional changes, "Then you must also invite you and Zhao Kaifeng to the wedding, when the time comes, you have to dress up well, good daughter, and make your best-"

"I'm full, just put the bowl on the table after you finish eating, and I'll wash it later." After saying this sentence in a depressed tone, Lin Yuqin got up and left her seat.

"Oh my God, is the senior sister actually friends with Princess Yinmi? She'd never told me anything. Looking at Lin Yuqin, who was leaving, Xi Meng, who was unresponsive, couldn't hide his shock and said.

The owner of the sword shop and Xi Meng saw Lin Yuqin suddenly get up and leave, and they didn't seem to notice anything, and Xi Meng, who was naturally stunned, thought that the senior sister had suddenly come to the eldest aunt and didn't take it to heart.

"Oh! Okay daughter. The man said very playfully and loudly, but in a blink of an eye his expression became a little strange, he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then said in a very rare serious tone, "It's really bitter that girl is going to lose her freedom in life at such a young age." ”

"Uncle, thank you and your senior sister for your hospitality, the braised pork is really delicious." Ren Zihua got up and said, and then left the dinner table.

"Oh, this is leaving, boy." Looking at Ren Zihua who was leaving, the man leisurely spit out a smoke ring, "These two people are really in love, I say." ”

Ren Zihua quickly found Lin Yuqin in front of the flower shop next to the sword shop, and looked at the senior sister who was squatting in front of a bush of lavender and looked sad, he hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"Senior sister, I have something to ask you."

"Huh? Why did you come out too? Lin Yuqin stood up suddenly, a stiff smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, "What's the matter, is there anything you don't understand?" But that's the way it goes, if it's related to the course, I won't necessarily be able to help you, if you want to ask me how to chase Xi Meng-"

"Can you tell me about Zhao Kaifeng and Princess Yinyu?" Ren Zihua interrupted, he looked at Lin Yuqin quite seriously, "In the eyes of others, one of these two people is the princess of the same country, and the other is just a poor student who is almost well-known in Moxi Academy now, according to common sense, it is very common sense to connect these two people who are almost at two extremes to talk about it, right?" But senior sister, Feng Xiaolan and I saw it in the dormitory that day. ”

"Did you see me scolding him?" Lin Yuqin's surprised expression became depressed again, and her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a dark veil.

"No, I saw the two of them kissing, and in the dormitory, Princess Yinyu forcibly kissed Zhao Kaifeng." Ren Zihua's tone was quite flat, and after saying this sentence that was enough to shock the world, he still carefully observed the subtle changes in the expression on Lin Yuqin's face, "Princess Yinyu, she seems to really like Zhao Kaifeng." ”

"So what, she's going to get married next week."

"Is there really no room for things to turn around?"

The sparsely populated streets of the ancient city seem to be difficult to hide the passage of hundreds of years here, and it is so quiet that it is somewhat uncomfortable. The proprietress of the flower shop looked quietly at the two young men and women in front of her lavender in front of her shop, and she looked at it as idly as every evening in the past.

Lin Yuqin's gaze, which had been lowering, finally raised, she looked at Ren Zihua in front of her and said in a tone full of contempt: "You are not the emperor, what can you do?" ”

Seeing that the senior sister didn't seem to want to talk about this topic with her anymore, Ren Zihua didn't want to ask any more.

"Since Senior Sister doesn't want to say it, I won't ask anymore." As he spoke, he took out the snow from the magic storage space and prepared to leave, "Let's go, senior sister, thank you and uncle for your hospitality tonight." ”

"Wait, I want to know why you want to know so much about the two of them, you and Zhao Kaifeng haven't known each other for long, right? I don't know Yinmi, don't tell me you want to know so much purely because of gossip. ”

was asked by Lin Yuqin, and Ren Zihua also hesitated. yes, why do you care so much about this? Although he kept saying to the princess that Zhao Kaifeng was his friend when he was in the principal's office just now, the relationship between the two was indeed only a roommate who had only known each other for two days, why did he get into this matter so inexplicably?

"I just think it's a pity that two people who really love each other can't get together in the end." Soon, Ren Zihua said seriously, his extremely sincere tone made people feel that he seemed to remember something sad again.

"Strange, how do you see that they really love each other?" Lin Yuqin asked strangely, "What is the basis for saying such things without any basis?" You don't know anything about either of them, do you? ”

A couple passed by the street holding hands, and Ren Zihua saw them smiling happily like that, and the emotions in his heart became complicated for a while.

"I don't know." He said with a somewhat bitter smile, "Although I don't know what Zhao Kaifeng thinks in his heart, Princess Yinyu must really like him." ”

"She's so blind that she likes such a bastard." Lin Yuqin said in a rather regretful tone.

"Speaking of which, it's really surprising that you and the princess are good friends, senior sister." Ren Zihua turned his exploratory gaze to the senior sister again, "How did you become friends?" ”

Lin Yuqin looked at Ren Zihua in a white robe, and the gradually darkening sky made her vision a little blurred: "I am in the same class as her, and before I met her, I really had never seen a girl as beautiful as her, but I had never seen a girl as lonely as her, and she almost had no friends." ”

"After all, it's a princess, and it's normal that you can't make friends."

"Do you really want to know about the two of them?" Seeing Ren Zihua nodded, Lin Yuqin said as if she had made up her mind, "I can tell you, but I don't know why the whole thing has developed into the way it is now, Yinyu likes Zhao Kaifeng so much I only found out yesterday." ”

"Why don't we change places and sit down and talk slowly, senior sister, it's tiring to stand here all the time." Seeing that Lin Yuqin was finally willing to tell him about Zhao Kaifeng and Princess Yinmi, Ren Zihua couldn't help laughing.

"Where do you want to go with your senior sister?" Xi Meng, who felt strange when he saw that the two had not returned for a long time, was already standing beside Ren Zihua at this time, "I said why haven't you come back for so long, it turns out that you want to go on a date secretly." ”

"It's not...... You misunderstood Xi Meng. Xi Meng's cold voice frightened Ren Zihua a lot, he turned his head and said with a headache, "I have something serious to ask Senior Sister, it's not a dating ......."

"Or go to my room." Before the two of them could react, Lin Yuqin had already taken out a space magic stone from her pocket, she grabbed Ren Zihua with one hand and said to Xi Meng, who was still confused, "Let's go Xi Meng, I'll go to you again at night, by the way, help me tell my dad that I won't live at home tonight, and let him wash the bowl by himself." ”

After saying this in a hurry, she and Ren Zihua disappeared in place with the purple light of the space magic stone.

"What are you kidding! Didn't you say that you wouldn't rob men? Sisterhood Code No. 7! Lin Yuqin, you stinky bitch! Xi Meng, who was left alone in front of the flower shop, complained viciously in her heart, and her gritted teeth frightened the flower shop proprietress finally took her dull gaze back from the lavender.

In the blink of an eye, Ren Zihua, who was dragged by the senior sister to a strange bedroom, stared at the puffy bed, and blushed: "This is the first time I've come to the girl's room." ”

"Why don't you bring Xi Meng, senior sister." Seeing Lin Yuqin looking at him silently, he asked a little flustered.

Pretending to smile mysteriously, Lin Yuqin sat on the chair in front of the computer desk and said, "There are some things in this that the less people know, the better." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"When you were in the church before, do you remember the Divine Tree Fruit that Xi Meng mentioned?"

"Of course I remember, it was said that Emperor Yinyue took the risk of taking it out of Zhangjiajie with the power of a country to be a birthday gift for the princess......" Wu, Ren Zihua's face became solemn, as if he suddenly understood something.

"Do you know why Emperor Yinyue is so obsessed with giving the Divine Tree Fruit to the princess as a birthday gift?"

"I don't know, but I thought it was strange when I heard it before."

"Emperor Yinyue claimed to the outside world that he wanted to make the princess's face permanent, but no one knows whether the fruit actually has that effect." Lin Yuqin sat at the computer desk and smiled, and her expression immediately became quite serious, "The reason why it has to be that forbidden fruit is because if Princess Yinyu doesn't eat the fruit of the Divine Tree before her eighteenth birthday, she will disappear and die, and she will never be alive again." ”

"It seems that you really don't know anything, Ren Zihua, but I don't blame you, after all, the rumor that was once known to the world is now unknown to anyone." Seeing Ren Zihua listening carefully, Lin Yuqin continued, "Before I heard Yinmi talk to me about these things, I didn't know anything like you. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"A thousand years ago, the Demon King Yongye imposed a curse on the then Emperor Tang Gaozong that could never be broken, and since then, as long as there is a female relative born in the royal bloodline, he will die on his eighteenth birthday."

The warmly furnished master bedroom can completely reveal the self-disciplined and calm character of the owner of the room through its clean and tidy appearance, but such a girl who has a plan for life and is almost never confused has entered a rather chaotic state after receiving a phone call from Yinmi yesterday, and even broke into the boys' dormitory in a state of extreme anger to slap Zhao Kaifeng. At this moment, while telling Ren Zihua about these little-known secrets, she sorted out her messy mind and tried to return to her normal state.

"For thousands of years, the royal family has been trying to avoid giving birth to female dependents, and they invited those magicians with great powers to serve as royal magicians, saying that it was to protect the safety of the royal family, but in fact, it was just to let the magicians cast forbidden magic on the concubines who were about to conceive and only be able to conceive boys, and this unethical practice was not abolished until five hundred years ago by Yun Moxi, who was qualified as a royal magician at that time, It is said that as soon as Na Yun Moxi was appointed as a royal magician, he immediately went to the royal forbidden library at that time and destroyed the magic book that recorded forbidden magic. ”

"Isn't he killing himself by doing this?" Ren Zihua asked, his appearance standing on the edge of the bed was a little weird, and he still looked a little unable to let go.

"According to common sense, but that Yun Moxi is quite talented, and the emperor who ascended the throne at that time was reluctant to kill him, and it is rumored that he also told the emperor another way to avoid the death of the royal daughter." Lin Yuqin turned her head to look at Ren Zihua, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, meaning that I don't need to say anything more about what happened next, right?

"Fruit of the Sacred Tree." Ren Zihua immediately understood.

"That's right, but it's also true that the fruit of the divine tree is not easy to get, and it is impossible for the royal family to raise the strength of a country to go to Zhangjiajie every time a female dependent is born, but fortunately, the royal family has only given birth to a few princesses in the past few hundred years, so the curse of the demon king has not been known to everyone. And to this day, in order to avoid the fall of Princess Yinyue, Emperor Yinyue had to lead all the twelve swords to break into Zhangjiajie last year and take out a sacred tree fruit that is rumored to be able to break the curse. ”

After Lin Yuqin finished speaking, she felt her throat a little dry, so she got up and went to the living room to get a glass of water.

"In this way, Emperor Yinyue really loves his sister very much." When Lin Yuqin came back with two glasses of water, he said again, "In other words, Princess Yinyu is the only princess who has lived past the age of eighteen?" ”

"Thank you, did you listen to Princess Yinmi?" Taking the water cup, Ren Zihua asked again.

"Not exactly." Lin Yuqin took a sip of water and moistened his throat, and then said, "The curse of the demon king is actually passed down by the ancestors of my family, before my grandfather's generation, my grandfather and they were all royal sword forgers in the palace, so they have heard about some things in the royal palace, and when I was a child, I often heard my grandfather mention some trivial things in the palace to me. ”

"Then ......" Ren Zihua, who learned of his senior sister's extraordinary background, seemed to be speechless for a while, he tried hard to digest the previous content and said with some puzzlement, "But senior sister, you still haven't mentioned Zhao Kaifeng after talking about it for so long." ”
