"Let's go now?" Facing Long Rui's sudden farewell, Long Xueling looked surprised.

"Hmm. Long Rui smiled and nodded.

"Back here, not used to it?" asked Long Xueling. After the banquet began, although she was very busy, she would pay attention to this brother from time to time. She found that Long Rui had been hiding far away and had not communicated with anyone in a word.

"Are you used to this kind of life?" Long Rui asked rhetorically.

Long Xueling shook her head and sighed lightly, "I'm not used to it." But that's my life, I have to get used to it. ”

"That's good. I've also found my own life, and I hope that the day we reconnect, we'll all be happy with each other's changes. After Long Rui finished speaking, he turned to Li Xiaowan.

"Sister Xiaowan, my sister, please take care of me. He admonished.

"Hmm. It's messy over there, be careful yourself. There are ......" Li Xiaowan wanted to speak and stopped.

"I know. Long Rui understood her thoughts and squeezed his eyes at her.

Seeing Long Rui leave through the crowd, there was a trace of inexplicable loss in Long Xueling's eyes.

Unfortunately, he just left. His father once said that he was the smartest young man in the Tianlong royal family in a hundred years, and if he could be used by the royal family, he would become a pillar of the country in the future. We couldn't keep him in the end!"

"Since power is mud in his eyes, it is good for him to leave. No matter where he goes, the Draco is his home, and I'm sure that won't change. Li Xiaowan comforted.

"But the father intends to let him ......" A sigh replaced the unfinished words, and Long Xueling's eyes were full of worry.

Some of the people around saw that Long Xueling was idle, and quietly surrounded him. However, when their eyes fell on an elegant and handsome young man who was slowly walking towards Long Xueling with a wine glass, they couldn't help but stop and quietly retreated.

The third prince Long Zhanye wants to get close to his sister, which one of them dares to come forward and disturb?

"Fourth sister, why are you bothered?" Long Zhanye walked in front of the two of them, and after his eyes signaled slightly to Li Xiaowan, he asked in a loud voice.

"I'm very tired! I don't know what to do when I see them coming around again. Long Xueling smiled and said, "The third brother came just in time, and he immediately relieved me of the siege." ”

"Just get used to it. Long Zhanye comforted, "The topic of conversation on this occasion usually doesn't make any sense, you can just talk a few words if you want, and if you don't like it, you will show a little affection, and everyone will become very interesting." ”

"Hmm. Long Xueling nodded obediently.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Third Highness, I'll go around. Li Xiaowan was worried that the two had something to say, so she made an excuse to leave.

"Xiaowan, you are also my sister, why do you want to see you like this?" Long Zhanye smiled, "Find a place to sit down and talk for a while, I have something to ask you." ”

The three of them found a secluded place to sit down. When the two central figures of the dinner were gone, the atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became relaxed, and people gathered in groups of three or five, melodious music and cheerful laughter echoed in the hall.

"Xiaowan, congratulations! I've always wanted to say hello to you in person, but I never had a chance, and today I finally got my wish. Long Zhanye looked at Li Xiaowan and smiled.

"Congratulations on what?" Li Xiaowan looked confused.

"Congratulations on getting the door, and you have a relative to rely on. Long Zhanye sighed.

"What do you mean Xiao Qi?" Li Xiaowan smiled, "A recruit has an egg." Although the person is clever, he is far from the expectations of His Highness. ”

"Oh?" Long Zhanye looked incredulous, "Then how could you pick him? Aren't you afraid that General Mu Bai will be dissatisfied?"

"Maybe it's sympathy, his background is quite pitiful. I can only try my best to cultivate him, hoping that the second uncle in the spirit of heaven can favor him, so that he can make a name for himself on the road to joining the army. Li Xiaowan sighed lightly.

"You can't be wrong. Long Zhanye shook his head and said, "The Nancheng Bloody Case and the results of the new training are proof of this. If a man has blood and courage, he will definitely be able to achieve great things. ”

"Third brother is so optimistic about him?" Long Xueling interjected. She knew the character of this third brother, and he usually didn't pay attention to ordinary people and things, so she couldn't help but feel a little curious about Zhu Xiaoqi in her heart. She wasn't too impressed about this person, and she had only met once at the end of the new training. The reason why he is remembered is because he is the only recruit of Twilight Xuewei, second, because he is Li Xiaowan's brother-in-law, and third, because he is fatter than the other recruits.

"Yes. Long Zhanye said, "He took out a bad breath in my heart for me. As a prince, there are many things I want to do but can't do, otherwise it will not only be the scum of the Green Snake Society who will die in the Nancheng bloodbath. ”

At this moment, Li Xiaowan vaguely understood the intention of the three princes. First, he wanted to show goodwill to the Li family, showing that he supported Long Xiaoyun's handling of the Nancheng Bloody Case and the maintenance of Jiangmen, so as to appease the military. After all, the military is his main backer, and he can't let the military elders chill because of what happened to the Li family. Second, he knew Long Xiaoyun's intentions to support Long Xueling, so he took the initiative to show his goodwill to attend today's dinner, which was for Long Xiaoyun to see, and also to show his bearing and mind to the outside world.

Listening to Long Zhanye's words, Long Xueling looked at Li Xiaowan and seemed to have something to say. The latter nodded slightly.

"Although Xiao Qi's incident is very happy, it is not worth advocating. Long Xueling did not echo Long Zhanye's words, "Tianlong is a country of the legal system after all, and the matter of tooth for tooth and blood for blood, the father can make an exception once, and it is difficult to have a second time." If we all take the lead in undermining the authority of the law, how can we expect the people to obey it?"

Her words made Li Xiaowan and Long Zhanye stunned.

It was the first time Li Xiaowan heard Long Xueling's evaluation of the Nancheng Bloody Case. Her words pointed out that Zhu Xiaoqi was reckless and trampled on the dignity of the law by violent means. At the same time, the words also conveyed another meaning: if something similar happened again, she would definitely not protect her shortcomings.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, Li Xiaowan had to admit that Long Xueling had maturity and reason beyond her years, and her words were right. When the law loses its dignity, the order of society will be lost, which is unacceptable to those who govern the country.

The transformation began at this moment, she is no longer a naïve girl, but a princess of a big country who can think about problems from the standpoint of the country and weigh the pros and cons.

Long Zhanye felt that he had to re-examine the strange sister in front of him. This is by no means a child who can be coaxed to be happy with a piece of candy, and if he doesn't deal with her relationship, then this younger sister, who has been spoiled by his father, will become a difficult opponent, and the advantage he has gained in the secret competition with his second brother is likely to be dissolved by her appearance.

The words of the fourth sister are thought-provoking. I'm ignoring that!" he said sincerely.

"I will discipline Xiao Qi strictly and promise that nothing like this will happen again in the future. Li Xiaowan whispered, "But I want to add that in order for everyone to abide by the law, the premise is that the law can demonstrate justice." Two highnesses, scum like Director Nancheng Ma, can we expect him to punish evil and promote good to uphold the dignity of the law?"

Long Xueling and Long Zhanye looked at each other and were silent. As soon as the two were silent, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Well, aren't we too bored to talk about national affairs while relaxing and having fun. It's all my fault, let's go back to the collective, and don't let down this beautiful night. Long Zhanye smiled and stood up.

Long Xueling and Li Xiaowan also stood up, and the three of them walked into the crowd together.

After the dinner, Li Xiaowan led a group of officers and soldiers of the Dusk Snow Guard to escort Long Xueling back to the imperial city. On the way back to the palace on foot, Li Xiaowan was silently thinking about her thoughts, and Long Xueling was surprisingly quiet. Both girls understand that after this night, their intimate relationship will begin to change. This change was caused by Long Xueling's words, and she did not regret it. Under Long Xiaoyun's arrangement, the trajectory of her life is quietly changing, and this day will come sooner or later.

Although Long Xueling's change was a little sudden, Li Xiaowan was not surprised. As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and as Long Xueling grows, she must work hard to adapt to the changes of His Highness in order to be a qualified captain of the guard. What she is worried about now is another question: whether Zhu Xiaoqi is still suitable to stay in Dusk Xuewei after returning from the mission. Her instincts told her that the restless fellow was not a carefree man, and sooner or later many things would happen. When the time comes, she will be caught between him and Long Xueling.

It's just that she didn't expect that what she was worried about would come more quickly than she imagined, and before Zhu Xiaoqi could return to Haiyue City and return to Dusk Xuewei, an amazing storm swept in.

Under a crape myrtle in the garden, Long Xueling stood quietly, watching Li Xiaowan go away. When her figure disappeared into the faint light in the distance, Long Xueling's calm face suddenly turned very pale, and her weak body trembled gently like the wind.

"Sister Xiaowan, I know that after today, Xue Ling in your eyes will become an indifferent and ruthless person. But please believe that everything I did was to protect you, and the little seven you cared about!" she murmured.
