At dusk, Li Xiaowan left Xiyuan in a carriage and headed towards the palace.

In front of the princess's bedchamber, several heavily armed Guards soldiers saw her and hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"See Your Highness!"

"No excuses!" she smiled and nodded.

Since she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Long Xiaoyun three years ago, she has always been a little concerned about the identity of this princess, but she can't refuse the kindness of the royal family. So, outside the palace she refused to allow anyone to call her His Royal Highness. Long Xiaoyun didn't pursue this, and others wouldn't care, and over time, many people forgot her identity. It's just that after entering the palace, you have to follow the rules.

The road was unimpeded, and she soon walked into the palace of the princess Long Xueling.

On the purple purlin window, a lifelike flying dragon is carved. Outside the window, there is a royal garden in full bloom.

A young girl who is as quiet as water and has picturesque eyebrows, standing quietly by the window, looking melancholy and sad.

The sunset is still beautiful and picturesque. At dusk, it is still quiet and warm like poetry.

When the twilight gradually rises, it is the time when the feelings hidden in the depths of the heart are crazy for a long time. Those pasts, those pasts, those concerns, those thoughts, in the night, gradually erode people's hearts. When the familiar figure, which was originally familiar and blurred by the years, quietly arrives when the sun sets, it will always make people's eyes moist and infinitely sour.

Long Xueling could never see that shadow clearly, because she had been blind since she was a child. All she knew was that his voice was warm, illuminating her dark childhood like sunshine, bringing her precious joy and happy companionship in her life. Countless times, she wished she could open her eyes and see the world, even if it was only for a second, and she would engrave his face in her heart forever. However, in the end, all that remained in her memory was the shadow she rubbed with her hands.

The pain, which she tried so hard to remember, but became more and more blurred, made the weak girl tremble and her face became even paler.

"I won't forget you, no matter who I become. I'll live well, and I hope you too. She prayed silently for his peace and happiness.

The maid Xiao Qiulan walked slowly to her side and whispered, "Your Highness, Princess Xiaowan asks to see you!"

"Please!" Long Xueling replied softly.

Turning from the window, her expression was normal.

After entering the palace, the teacher Qin Dufeng gave her family-like care. While curing eye diseases, he also imparted a lot of knowledge to her. From royal rules, court etiquette, and aristocratic etiquette, to the way of affairs, the art of employing people, and the concept of governing the country. She accepts her new identity in silence and darkness, silently learning to be a princess of a great country. There are no complaints, there are not too many doubts, she just wants to live tenaciously and look forward to meeting him again one day.

If there's anything that has changed in her heart over the years, it's that she's no longer lonely. She felt a deep father's love and a father's care. Forgiveness is the cornerstone of reuniting emotions, and she can feel that even as an emperor, her father's heart is still full of helplessness and bitterness.

"Subordinates, see the princess!" Li Xiaowan strode in and gave her a military salute.

Long Xueling smiled and signaled: "Sister Xiaowan is exempt." Sit down!"

Li Xiaowan sat down and explained the purpose of her trip.

"Your Highness, Twilight Snow Guard has temporarily recruited a new recruit while on a mission. I reported to you when I returned to Sea Moon City, but you were recuperating at the time and could not see each other. ”

"I've heard about it. It seems to be a male soldier. ”

"Yes. ”

Li Xiaowan briefly told her the reason why she recruited Zhu Xiaoqi.

After listening to this, Long Xueling smiled and said, "You did a good job in this matter." The medicine is used to treat my eyes, and saving him is also a favor for me. ”

Only then did Li Xiaowan realize that the princess's eyes were smart and clear, and they were no longer as empty and dull as before.

"Your Highness, are your eyes better?" Li Xiaowan was surprised inexplicably.

"Hmm. I've heard people say that my sister is a big beauty, and when I see it today, it's even more beautiful than I imagined. Long Xue Lingjiao smiled.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"The eyes have regained their sight, but the heart is not as clear as before, and life is no longer leisurely. In the future, my sister will have to worry more about me. ”

"Where the responsibility is, the subordinates should do their best!"

"My father asked me to watch the recruit competition four months later and present awards to the winners. This is my first appearance in public, and my father attaches great importance to it, sister, you have to help me arrange everything in advance. ”

"Good. Li Xiaowan nodded, "However, regarding the recruit competition, I want to ...... with His Highness."

"It's the male soldier's business, right?" Long Xueling interrupted her with a smile, "This matter is Twilight Xuewei's business, and the decision is up to my sister." It doesn't matter if you win or lose, I'll explain it to my father. ”

With her words, she took down a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Du Xuewei and Zhu Xiaoqi, which surprised Li Xiaowan a little.

In a seemingly ordinary sentence, it contains four meanings: trust, decentralization, exemption, and anxiety relief.

She realized that this princess, who was full of mystery, not only had a beautiful appearance, but also a crystal clear heart. When she officially debuts on the stage of imperial politics, Twilight Xuewei's simple life will begin to get complicated.

Early in the morning, Li Xiaowan left Xiyuan with Zhu Xiaoqi.

"It's getting interesting. Looking at the carriage in the distance, a smile appeared on Lan Xinyi's face.

As she expected, Li Xiaowan had a headache holding this male soldier, but the kindness in her bones finally made her choose to hold this hot potato in her hand. It's just that she may not know that Zhu Xiaoqi is not only a hot potato, but will soon become a piece of scorching coke. At that point, will she throw it, or will she continue to hold it?

Stepping into the door of the Li Mansion again, thinking of Li Xiaowan's silence all the way and the solemn expression on her face, Zhu Xiaoqi faintly sensed that something special seemed to be about to happen.

In the living room, Zhao Wuchang paced anxiously, with anticipation and a little uneasiness in his eyes.

Li Xiaowan took Zhu Xiaoqi and strode into the living room.

"Uncle Zhao. ”

Zhao Wuchang stepped forward: "Have you figured it out?"

Li Xiaowan nodded firmly.

"Then I'll talk to him. Zhao Wuchang turned to Zhu Xiaoqi.

Li Xiaowan sat down, picked up the tea and sipped it gently. Although her face was calm, her slightly undulating chest revealed her inner tension and uneasiness.

"Zhu Xiaoqi. Zhao Wuchang called.

"Here!" replied Zhu Xiaoqi by inertia.

"Do you want to practice martial arts?"

"Back to the general's words: Yes, very much!"

"Good. Now I tell you the results of your last spiritual test and give you a chance to choose. Whatever you choose, you must keep today's conversation confidential, or you will be killed. Zhao Wuchang said coldly. A majestic and murderous aura suddenly appeared on his face, stifling the trace of joy that had just been born in Zhu Xiaoqi's heart.

He nodded hurriedly: "Zhu Xiaoqi remembers, general!"

Zhao Wuchang told him in detail about the results of the spiritual test. In his narration, Zhu Xiaoqi's heart is tormented in ice and fire, ups and downs in sorrow and joy, and rolling around in hope and disappointment.

After Zhao Wuchang finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoqi was stunned and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"General Zhao, you have said so much, can I cultivate martial arts?" Zhu Xiaoqi was very apprehensive in his heart.

"I can practice, and it's a rare genius. Zhao Wuchang nodded affirmatively.

I am a genius? The extreme surprise made Zhu Xiaoqi a little fluttering for a while. It seems that Lady Luck not only favored him, but also prepared a big gift for him. She opened the door to cultivation for him, and he was greeted with flowers and applause.

"However, in the entire Firmament Continent, there are not many exercises that are suitable for cultivation of your physique. As far as I know, there is only one kind in the Celestial Dragon Empire. Zhao Wuchang said lightly.

Zhu Xiaoqi was stunned. The empire is so big, there is only one kind of exercise suitable for him! He is not a prince, he can do whatever he wants, this Nima is still cultivating a fart! In an instant, what five spirit bodies, what veins, and what spirit cores are just floating clouds floating in front of his eyes!

"General Zhao, in this way, I still don't have a show?" A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes were full of loss. The most terrible thing in the world is not despair, but the sprouts of hope sprout and are pinched alive.

Zhao Wuchang didn't answer him and smiled at Li Xiaowan.

"The Heavenly Dragon Empire's exercises suitable for the cultivation of the five spirit bodies are my Li family's Ascending Dragon Decision!"

Captain Li Xiaowan's voice clearly came into his ears. Turning his head, the latter was staring at him intently with a pair of beautiful eyes, his eyes were very complicated.

A spark of hope lit up in front of Zhu Xiaoqi's eyes.

"Captain, can you teach me?" he asked weakly. Li Xiaowan was very powerful in his heart, but in order to be a strong man and retain the hope of becoming a general, he had the courage to open his mouth.

Li Xiaowan didn't respond to him and looked away.

Zhao Wuchang replied for her: "The Ascending Dragon Duel is the core martial art of the Li family. Like other families in the mainland, only the core members of the family can cultivate, let alone pass it on to outsiders. If you want her to teach you, you must agree to the Li family's quid pro quo. ”
