At the Tayun Road Inn, Su Qixiao checked in in the upper room and decided to go to the top of the mountain early tomorrow morning.

Before the Shen family left, he specially asked Shen Changle for three taels of jade dew tea.

In the inn room, Su Qixiao took a sip of freshly brewed jade dew, for fear that he would reach the bottom of it all in one sip, and thought to himself: "I only hope that when the golden wind and jade dew meet, there are countless victories in the world." ”

Under the bright moon, Su Qixiao leaned against the window lattice and looked into the distance, his eyes gentle. In his hand he clutched the object he held most dear—a small concentric knot.

This special concentric knot is exquisitely sized, just like the delicate young of them.

The concentric knot is made of two strands of hair, one of which belongs to Su Qixiao when he was young. And the other bunch belongs to the princess of Daxia who Su Qixiao saw and never forgot when he was young.

In retrospect, he had known her for thirteen years.

The snow melted that year was spring, and Bai Ruoyun, the princess of Sanjiang, who was only seven years old and drooping, was invited by her father to come to Jiangnan for the first time.

I may have stayed in Sanjiang City, which is light and martial, for a long time, and when I first came to Gusu City, which was surrounded by smoke and rain, Xiao Ruoyun was still a little rusty, but with her lively and lively heart, she soon went around the city like a local.

Different from the magnificence of the rushing confluence of the rivers in Sanjiang City, the little girls in Gusu are as gentle as their water towns. Xiao Ruoyun found that they were so different from herself, they spoke softly, and even for fear of alarming one or two birds in the treetops.

But Xiao Ruoyun seems to have forgotten herself, and she also has half of Jiangnan's blood on her body. Xiao Ruoyun has heard her mother talk about the scenery of Jiangnan since she was a child, and she is looking forward to it, but she didn't know at first that her mother, who is very different from all the women in Sanjiang City, turned out to be from Gusu.

In the blink of an eye, at noon, the maids were anxious to find Bai Ruoyun, and Her Royal Highness the little princess had already visited half of Gusu City.

Bai Shu, the king of Sanjiang, was accustomed to his daughter, but he just called gently: "Yun'er, this is not Sanjiang City, I will enter another mansion later, I can't shake it like this." ”

Xiao Ruoyun nodded playfully: "Hmm! ”

Bai Shu shook his head helplessly when he saw this, he also knew that his daughter probably still couldn't be idle.

Until Bai Ruoyun followed his father into the main gate of the magnificent Su Wangfu, Xiao Ruoyun saw such a spectacular scene of Qionglou Yuyu for the first time!

Xiao Ruoyun pulled her father's sleeve, and when her father squatted down, she quietly asked, "Father, this place is so big, is it the palace?" ”

Bai Shu couldn't help but smile: "Yun'er, the father of the palace can't go without receiving the edict." This is the mansion of a little prince surnamed Su, who is seven years old like you. ”

"Little prince? Can he live in such a big place? ”

"When the time comes, Yun'er will ask him and know."

"I don't want it, he listens to it very annoying, and grandma deliberately asked me to stay away from people surnamed Su before going out."

The corners of Bai Shu's mouth twitched, and he slandered: "Mother is still holding a grudge against her teacher after so many years......"

Until the front of the main hall of the palace, Xiao Ruoyun heard his father say that when he came to Jiangnan, he would follow the customs of the country, and it was rare to try to tie up the long hair that was scattered, but no matter how wise his father was, the girl's braids were not something he could control......

At this moment, a lady dressed in a moon-white luxurious palace dress walked slowly, and between her long hair was wearing a jade step inlaid with the phoenix vortex qiong of the Great Xia Imperial Court, which was bright and beautiful.

Madame squatted in front of Xiao Ruoyun, and her slender fingers quickly tied her braids.

Xiao Ruoyun was stunned when she looked at the woman's peerless appearance, and only said in a soft voice after a long time: "Thank you...... You. ”

The woman got up and waved her sleeves, and the royal bearing around her body was luxurious, "It's okay, little princess." ”

Bai Shu, the king of Sanjiang, took Xiao Ruoyun's hand, faced the woman and said respectfully: "Eldest princess, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The person who came was none other than King Su's biological mother, the eldest princess of Daxia Wuyang.

The eldest princess of Wuyang bowed her head and asked, "The king of Sanjiang doesn't need to be polite, he has worked hard from afar." I heard that the princess was sick, how was Qi Lan's condition? ”

Bai Shu said: "Alan has been recuperating in the city after taking the medicine, and she is also sorry that she can't come together this time." ”

Wuyang sighed lightly: "Bengong and the princess grew up together since childhood, like sisters, she is weak and sick, Bengong knows, but I didn't expect to be so sick this time......"

"With the eldest princess in her arms, presumably Alan will recover soon." King Sanjiang said, "By the way, how is the teacher lately? ”

Wuyang Fengya smiled and said, "The old man is in good health, but my unsuccessful son always makes his grandfather angry." ”

"Hahaha, the little prince is at a lively age."

After a brief greeting, Wuyang knew that the King of Sanjiang intended to visit his mentor Su Qi, so he said: "If the King of Sanjiang has important business, go and be busy, this child will be taken care of by the palace." ”

The king of Sanjiang saluted and said, "That annoys the eldest princess." ”

"It doesn't matter." Wuyang squatted down and stroked Bai Ruoyun's head, and said with a light smile, "Bengong, I like Yun'er." ”

Bai Shu nodded slightly, bowed and left.

On this day, it became Bai Ruoyun's happiest day when she was young, she put on the rare smoky sand and water moon skirt of Su Wangfu, combed her shocking hair that she had never tried, and she was like a little fairy in front of the bronze mirror, aura and gorgeous.

After having the lunch of Bazhen Jade Food, Xiao Ruoyun had only heard her mother talk about her hometown of Gusu, but now she can be regarded as seeing the uncertain weather in Gusu, and it fell in a blink of an eye, and the scenery of the palace carved by Danying was more beautiful in the hazy smoke and rain.

With the consent of the eldest princess, Xiao Ruoyun walked around the palace with an umbrella. On the Tingqiao Lake, the hibiscus in the water is holding pearls in the rain, and it is difficult to reach her like a little fairy for half a point.

Not far away, an old man's voice came from the training ground, and he was not angry and arrogant when he heard it-

"The ancient soldier book "Liutao" once said that the world is not the world of one person, the latter sentence?"

"I dare not forget the book of the Taigong, it is the world of the world."

The young voice that answered, childish but firm.

Xiao Ruoyun outside the training range suddenly became interested, and looked inside close to the fence, in addition to several grass arrow targets in the shooting range, there were actually two incompatible ancient wooden bookcases and chairs.

An energetic old man was leading a young man in brocade to practice arrows in the rain while writing a book to him.

Xiao Ruoyun stared at the young man in the brocade clothes, and thought secretly: "The mother concubine often said that there is a little prince in Gusu City who I have never met, is it ......him?"

It was only at first glance that she recognized the person she cherished the most.

"Where benevolence is, the world returns to ......"

The young man's endorsement continued, and Xiao Ruoyun sighed: "It's really hard to practice arrows in the rain and study in the arrow field." ”

The young prince who was carrying "Liutao" also felt that he was working hard, and at the moment when he looked at the fence like a god, he just looked at Bai Ruoyun tightly.

Just this glance is the most unforgettable side of Su Qixiao's life.

Ice muscles and jade bones, peach and peach fall into the city.

Bai Ruoyun, who was still young that year, was proud of the snow and the frost. This princess of Sanjiang, who grew up in a martial land, not only has a stubborn temper like the confluence of the three rivers, but also hides a more elaborate and sultry heart than the Jiangnan people, which is not as soft as the smoke and rain.

Xiao Qixiao has never seen a girl like her.

Grandfather Su Qiyuan was in the bookcase, and when he saw his grandson wandering, he asked loudly: "Xiao'er, can you still memorize Sima Fa?" ”

Xiao Qixiao still stared intently at the fence.

"Xiao'er ......"

"Xiao'er!"

"Huh?" Xiao Qixiao came back to his senses and frowned, "Sima Fa? Grandfather didn't say he was going to carry it......"

Su Qi's eyes were majestic and he severely punished: "Practicing arrows in the rain is to test your concentration, so careless, how can you carry the banner in the future?" Shoot 60 more arrows, go back to the house and read "Liutao" together. ”

Xiao Qixiao sighed sadly, and when he looked at the fence again, the girl just now was gone!

The wind and rain were obscure, and he was immersed in the wet and cold, which inevitably made him even more depressed.

However, at this moment, the rain above Xiao Qixiao's head suddenly stopped, and a delicate and agile voice came from behind him-

"Old man! You're too unreasonable! ”

Xiao Qixiao looked back in surprise, his face full of disbelief.

I saw that Xiao Ruoyun, who was puffing up, couldn't bear it at all, so he went straight over the fence, held an umbrella on top of Xiao Qixiao's head, and pouted at Su Qi, the world's chief strategist, and scolded: "You didn't ask him to carry it, why should you test him!" You have to practice archery in the rain, how can you be such an unreasonable old man! ”

Su Qi's expression changed slightly, and he watched the little girl cross her waist and speak righteously in front of her grandson, like an adult's questioning tone, which was very interesting.

Su Qi stroked his beard and asked curiously, "Little girl, who are you?" ”

Xiao Ruoyun was not convinced: "I won't tell you!" I haven't asked you who you are! ”

Xiao Qixiao on the side was completely stunned, when did the young King Su see someone in the palace who dared to contradict his grandfather Su Qi?

It's just that Xiao Qixiao looked at the back of this girl in a tassel pink hookah shirt, her heart was pounding, and her eyes were full of anticipation. expects her to resist Su Qi speechless, after all, he has a heart in his bones that no one can suppress.

Speaking of which, there is a reason why Bai Ruoyun hates Su Qi. Su Bai's two fathers have a close relationship, but the relationship between the ancestors is very poor, Xiao Ruoyun doesn't know why, when she was a child, she heard her grandmother Dou leave the room and mention Su Qi, and the scolding did not leave her mouth......

Xiao Ruoyun raised her head and said bluntly: "Before leaving, my grandmother told me that the old man of the Su family is a big villain, let me stay away from him!" But since I saw the old man of the Su family, I don't want to! ”

Su Qi frowned at first, but soon smiled, he already knew the identity of this girl, so he stroked his beard and asked, "Okay, then you tell me why you want to help him, right?" ”

Xiao Ruoyun propped up her waist and said confidently: "Because I don't like to read!" That's why I hate you for forcing him to read! ”

After that, Xiao Ruoyun's cheeks turned red, not because she didn't like to read or anything, but she couldn't admit that he was her childhood sweetheart...... How can you meet for the first time......

At this time, Xiao Qixiao got up and said, "Grandfather, Princess Sanjiang came from afar, Xiao'er took her to visit other places in the palace, and the book will be memorized when she comes back." ”

Without waiting for Su Qi to reply, Xiao Qixiao pulled Xiao Ruoyun's sleeve and ran away.

"Wait, how did you recognize this princess!"

In the drizzle, Bai Ruoyun was led by him past a garden pontoon bridge, and Qiushui's eyes were full of surprise.

"It's like you can recognize this king." Su Qixiao looked back and smiled.

Dare to be so presumptuous in the Su Palace, except for the Sanjiang princess who said that her mother was about to arrive in Gusu City yesterday and "married with her fingers", there should be no second woman in the world, right?

Xiao Qixiao thought so in his heart, so he heard Xiao Ruoyun continue to ask: "So why is your grandfather fierce, is he very powerful?" ”

Xiao Qixiao propped his chin and thought, "Hmm...... What do you want to know about him? ”

"Everything."

"Don't look at him now, he used to be the prince of the Three Princes, and when he was young, he destroyed several dynasties with His Majesty the Emperor! Like the end of the Sui and the Western Shu...... That's right! And thy father and the king worshipped at his door. When it comes to the exploits of his grandfather and grandfather, Xiao Qixiao's proud expression is unobstructed.

Xiao Ruoyun puffed out her cheeks, suddenly patted her head, and was surprised: "Hmm! I remembered it, it turned out that the teacher in my father's mouth before was him! ”

“……”

Xiao Ruoyun frowned bitterly, and said in a milky voice: "Then should I apologize to him, but apologize, I feel so faceless......"

Xiao Qixiao waved his hand and comforted: "It's okay, grandfather won't remember what you say, but I think he will remember you." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Qixiao had already led Xiao Ruoyun to the outside of his Jifeng Garden.

"Here, this is Jifeng Garden, where I live."

"Wow, such a big garden...... Can you afford to live? ”

Xiao Qixiao shook his head and said: "I can't live, in fact, except for here, I haven't been to many locked places in the palace, and my grandfather won't let me go." ”

Xiao Qixiao immediately took a deep breath, blushed and asked the first courageous invitation in his life: "Why don't you live in my house?" In the future, we will go to those places that we have not been to before! ”

Xiao Ruoyun looked at his face that was red for some reason, didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and smiled lightly: "Okay! As long as my father agrees, I will live with you. ”

Just when Xiao Qixiao was proud, Xiao Ruoyun patted her palms and added, "But we have to make a bet first." ”

"Yes, bet on what!"

"Bet that after you go back, your grandfather will definitely not punish you for endorsement. As long as you win, I promise you! ”

"Okay, so what if I lose?"

Xiao Ruoyun smiled mysteriously and said, "You lost, I want to ...... A strand of your hair! ”

Xiao Qixiao's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "How can this be done, the body is skinned, and it is ...... to accept it"

"Alright, that's it!" Xiao Ruoyun interrupted, then took his hand and ran back to the training ground.

Sure enough, Xiao Qixiao, who never believed in evil, lost to Xiao Ruoyun, who never lost in betting.

Xiao Ruoyun got his wish and cut off a strand of hair on his sideburns, and said with a smile: "Then I'll accept this!" ”

Su Bai and the two played until the evening.

When she returned to the house, Su Qixiao blushed and tied a silver bell around her waist, turned around and said, "Don't fall off." ”

Bai Ruoyun's eyes were full of curiosity: "Bell...... What's wrong? ”

"The palace is very big, I'm afraid I won't find you."

……

Half a year later.

Su Qi looked at this lively and gorgeous little girl from afar, and then glanced at the grandson beside her, who originally only knew how to read the sage books under the window lattice, and realized that Xiao'er would actually have such a happy side.

Su Qi was shocked to find that the two were very well matched...... And the fate in the dark may be much more than that.

When the King of Sanjiang was leaving, Su Qi took out the peerless and rare Jade Palace Ming Phoenix Pendant from the treasure chest of the Su family, and asked Bai Shu to give it to the little princess of the Bai family for himself.

This jade palace phoenix pendant belongs to the same pair as King Su's white jade unicorn pendant, and the teacher fell in love with his daughter Bai Ruoyun at a glance, how did Bai Shu not expect it.

Sanjiang Wang Bai Shu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, teacher!" Is this gift too big? ”

Su Qi laughed heartily and said: "The old man saw that the little princess gave Xiao'er a concentric knot, how could Xiao'er not know the meaning of the concentric knot, he has accepted gifts like your girl, how can the old man not express the reason?" ”

As an old father, Bai Shu was shocked, he didn't know that just half an hour ago, the daughter of the pearl in his palm had such a scene with the little prince of the Su family-

"Na! This one is up to you. ”

Xiao Ruoyun spread out her palm, it was a concentric knot woven with two strands of hair, it turned out that she wanted Xiao Qixiao's hair to weave it.

Su Qixiao didn't expect this meeting, he didn't expect Bai Ruoyun to cut his hair in order to make concentric knots, and he was incoherent for a while: "Ah, this...... You! How can it be ......"

"One of them is mine." Xiao Ruoyun stretched out her hand to him, pursed her mouth, and a faint blush flashed on her face, "You just accept it gratefully!" ”

Men and women wear their hair in a bun for eternity.

Xiao Qixiao looked at her lovely eyes full of anticipation, and seriously doubted that she would not know what this meant......

But Xiao Qixiao obviously felt that it was too fast to get married, and his body still took the concentric knot in Xiao Ruoyun's hand without the slightest resistance.

On the occasion of separation, Bai Ruoyun crossed her hands behind her back, looked back sideways, and smiled with apricot eyes: "Don't forget me." ”

Su Qixiao's eyes were firm, and he bowed his head gently: "Never forget." ”
