Chapter 15: Dreams

Suddenly, the picture in front of Zhao Wanning's eyes changed from the two sides in the court to the eldest princess's mansion.

The Celestial Princess's Mansion is decorated with lanterns, with big red characters on the lanterns and red silk hanging all over the eaves. The maids and servants in the house also wore red belts in response to the occasion.

Zhao Wanning felt as if she was watching flowers in front of her. She seemed to be able to fly, and she arrived at the eldest princess's boudoir from the gate of the eldest princess's mansion in one fell swoop.

The eldest princess's boudoir is as simple and neat as she is, and her posture is heroic. The room is very simple and a little empty. Compared to other lively places in the house, the eldest princess's boudoir is a little out of place.

There are two simple characters on the door, and the screens, tables and chairs in the room are still as usual. Although the bed curtain is red, you can see the traces of use, which should be a common thing for the eldest princess.

If it weren't for the big red wedding dress hanging on the sandalwood hanger next to the bed, I really wouldn't have seen that this was the boudoir of a woman who was about to get married.

The eldest princess, dressed in a red midcoat, sat at the dresser, and the queen mother stood behind her, holding a comb and combing her hair herself.

There are still words on his lips: "A comb of white hair and eyebrows......"

Zhao Wanning walked behind the eldest princess, and the bronze mirror clearly reflected the eldest princess with a cold expression and the queen mother who was silently weeping.

Zhao Wanning was a little puzzled, no one could see her, and she couldn't be seen in the mirror, so what is she now?

Before Zhao Wanning could think clearly, she was woken up by the painting screen.

"County Lord, County Lord." Picture screen cautiously called her: "You said yesterday that I would wake you up at dawn, it's dawn, do you want to get up now?" ”

Zhao Wanning opened her eyes suddenly, she felt so tired, and she was a little dazed from this sleep. Fang was still in the eldest princess's mansion, and suddenly returned to her boudoir in the eldest princess's mansion, and she was still a little confused.

"County Lord, it's still early. If you haven't rested enough, you might as well go back to sleep. Picture screen thoughtful.

Zhao Wanning remembered that last night she personally asked her to get up and take a step at dawn, how could she give up on the first day? So she struggled to her feet.

"Go fetch me water to wash up." Zhao Wanning said.

The painting screen helped her get up and waited for her to dress: "County Lord, the water has been prepared for you." ”

Zhao Wanning pinched her cheek and said, "My picture screen is really intimate." ”

The picture screen smiled: "It's good if the county lord likes it." ”

Zhao Wanning wore a short dress and yawned and walked into the courtyard.

At this moment, the sky was bright, and the Yueyuan was quiet, and even the servants who sprinkled the sweep were not yet in their dreams.

"Paint." Zhao Wanning called.

"County Lord," the picture screen replied, "what do you command?" ”

"It's still early, you can go sleep for a while."

"The slave is not sleepy, the slave and the maid accompany the county master." As soon as he finished speaking, he yawned loudly.

Zhao Wanning pushed her into the room: "Go, go, go sleep." If you don't rest, how can you go out with me during the day? ”

"Get out?" Picture Ping was puzzled: "County Lord, are you going out today?" ”

"Yes, I want to go to Lin San Temple to worship." Zhao Wanning said, "You can go to sleep for a while." I'll call you later after I've finished my steps. ”

"The county master, the slave maid will squint on the collapse for a while. Just call me when you need me. ”

Zhao Wanning recalled the essentials of the movements that Xiao Hongyi taught her, and seriously set up a horse in the courtyard.

The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard are blooming, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers is scattered everywhere with the morning breeze, which is refreshing and pleasant.

A small patch of red appeared on the horizon, and it was the sun.

The red patch became bigger and bigger, and gradually, a red circle appeared in front of Zhao Wanning's eyes.

Zhao Wanning stood for less than a stick of incense, and then he couldn't hold on. The raised arms were like a thousand pounds, and the legs were shaking all the time. She gritted her teeth and continued to insist.

Her body is indeed a little thin, and if she can strengthen her body in this way, it will not be in vain for her to get up early.

Fine sweat oozed from his forehead, and Zhao Wanning wiped it with his wrist casually and continued.

"Yo, are you really doing Zamabu?" A playful female voice appears.

As soon as Zhao Wanning looked up, he saw Xiao Hongyi, dressed in black, sitting on the roof opposite.

"Didn't you say that?" Zhao Wanning said: "From the practice of martial arts, you must start with Zamabu. ”

"Really?" Xiao Hongyi quickly turned around and jumped down from the roof, his movements as light as a swallow.

Zhao Wanning was red-eyed, and she didn't know when she would be able to learn this light skill.

"Stretch your arms out and shoulder level, and use your leg strength." Xiao Hongyi stepped out to guide: "Your leg strength is not good." ”

Zhao Wanning was speechless: "Of course I know that I can't do it, it's because I can't do it, so I need your teacher's guidance." ”

Xiao Hongyi was amused by this teacher: "Okay, since you call me teacher." ”

"You're thin and don't have the strength in your legs. Zamabu is still a bit difficult for you, so you should practice your physical fitness first. ”

"It's just a stick of incense, and you can't hold it anymore."

Zhao Wanning wanted to refute, but she had indeed reached the limit. Her legs were sore and she couldn't support her body, so Zhao Wanning fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Xiao Hongyi also sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to massage her. Xiao Hongyi is worthy of being a person who practices martial arts, she has a lot of strength, and her fingers are pressed on her legs, which is sore, painful and refreshing, relieving Zhao Wanning's pain.

"It's so hard to practice martial arts." Zhao Wanning sighed.

"Yes," Zhao Wanning continued: "That's how I practiced my kung fu." ”

"When will I be like you?"

"Then it will take at least ten years, twenty years, right?"

"Twenty years?" Zhao Wanning was surprised: "Twenty years later, it's too long." At that time, she was nearly forty years old, how could she still travel all over the world?

Xiao Hongyi didn't know what she was thinking, she just said truthfully: "I started to walk at the age of three, and it has been twelve years now. ”

"And when I was a child, I practiced martial arts, and my body bones were not yet fixed, so it would be more convenient to practice martial arts. Now that your body has been formed, it is indeed a little late to start practicing martial arts now, and it takes more time and energy than those who have practiced martial arts since childhood. ”

"Ugh." Zhao Wanning lay down directly on the ground, sighed and said, "It's going to take so long." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Hongyi said: "Why do you want to practice martial arts? ”

"Stay fit and protect yourself."

"If you just want to achieve these two goals, you don't have to practice martial arts like me." Xiao Hongyi hesitated.

"Oh?" Zhao Wanning instantly became interested: "Tell me quickly, in addition to practicing martial arts, what else can you do?" ”

"You can get up early on weekdays and run around the house, or go for a quick walk. The recruits in the barracks rely on this to improve their physical fitness. When your physical fitness improves, your body will naturally become stronger. ”

"Self-preservation, there are more ways to do that. In addition to martial arts, you can also learn hidden weapons, or study poisons. If neither of these works works, you can also ask someone with strong martial arts skills to protect you. ”

Zhao Wanning shook his head: "You can try the secret weapon and poison, but forget about it." ”

"Why are you a dignified Qinghe county lord, are you still afraid that you can't afford this salary?" Xiao Hongyi quipped.

"Although I can afford this wage, there are always people who are richer than me who can pay more than this wage. If such a man wants to kill me, and bribe those whom I have invited to protect me, then will I not be a lamb to the slaughter? ”

"It's better to rely on people than on yourself."

Xiao Hongyi was amused by her: "You are a county lord who will be raised in the eldest princess's mansion, what are you afraid of?" Not to mention that there are so many guards in the eldest princess's mansion, you are the pearl of the eldest princess, and the county lord of Qinghe in my Dajin, who dares to touch you? ”

Zhao Wanning smiled bitterly and didn't speak.

Xiao Hongyi suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

"You can wait and invite Yueyuan to have breakfast at my place. The breakfast cooked by the cook in my small kitchen is delicious, you must try it. ”

Xiao Hongyi's hand movements didn't stop, and he nodded: "Then I'll be disrespectful." ”

After breakfast, Zhao Wanning called the silver candle painting screen and prepared to leave the house.

"Do you have something to do today?" Zhao Wanning asked.

Xiao Hongyi, who was full of food and drink, shook his head: "I just returned to Beijing for something, I was trapped in the General's Mansion all day, and I was forced by my grandmother to be a girl, and I was annoyed to death." I'm glad I met you and was able to come and play with you. ”

Zhao Wanning gloated: "Are you a female red? Didn't pierce your fingers, did you? ”

Xiao Hongyi pushed her.

Zhao Wanning was pushed and almost fell.

Xiao Hongyi hurriedly grabbed her again: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it, I'm used to it, it's not light or heavy, I didn't expect you to be unbearable with such a small amount of strength." ”

Zhao Wanning took a deep breath. I cried secretly in my heart: I know it's a weak chicken, so I don't need to emphasize it anymore.

"If you're fine, then come with me to Lin San Temple to have a look."

Lin San Temple is a famous temple in the capital, and the incense is prosperous, second only to the royal temple.

Legend has it that the abbot of Lingshan Temple, the master of good deeds, has strict precepts, high morality, and can run through the past and the present, if he can get one or two points of guidance, it is a blessing from thousands of years of cultivation.

It's just that the master of good deeds is easily inhumane.

Zhao Wanning just had the mentality of giving it a try.

Ever since she was reborn, she has always had strange dreams, those dreams are so real that they seem to have been experienced by her, but the specific content of the dreams is a little different from reality. This made her very distressed. Knowing that it was a dream, she should ignore it and focus on real life, but there was a faint voice in her heart telling her that everything in the dream was true.

It would be nice to get the master's point.

Zhao Wanning thought of the calm face and red wedding dress of the eldest princess in the bronze mirror again.

In fact, she has never been to the Celestial Princess's Mansion, whether in the previous life or in this life, but in the dream, she knows everything about the eldest princess's boudoir.

She had never seen a woman set up a rack of weapons in her boudoir, full of weapons, swords, and red tassels. But that's what she dreamed of in Celestia's boudoir. What's even more strange is that through the contact with the eldest princess in this life, she vaguely felt that if it was the eldest princess, she could indeed do such a thing.

Xiao Hongyi naturally didn't know what she was thinking.

The carriage staggered in the direction of Lingshan Temple outside the city.

Silver candles and picture screens serve on the side.

"This is a honey bean cake made by the painting screen, you can't eat it outside, you can taste it." Zhao Wanning picked up a piece of golden pastry with silver chopsticks and handed it to Xiao Hongyi.

Xiao Hongyi was too lazy to take a big bite of Zhao Wanning's hand directly, and a round pastry was instantly left with only a small piece.

The other three were dumbfounded.

Xiao Hongyi has always been like this, she swallowed a whole honey bean flower cake into her stomach in two bites: "It's delicious, delicious." Paintscreen, your craft is so good. ”

The painting screen smiled shyly: "Miss Xiao praised it falsely, and the slave maid was flattered." ”

Xiao Hongyi picked up a piece with his hand and said, "Don't be modest, I Xiao Hongyi has always boasted that people have always had one thing to say, this honey bean cake is really delicious." ”

Zhao Wanning also spoke: "Picture screen, your craftsmanship is indeed very good." Whether it's this honey bean cake or the blue snow cheese before. ”

"Blue snow cheese?" Xiao Hongyi said curiously.

"Yes, that's a specialty of Picture Screen's hometown, if you want to eat it, I'll ask her to make it for you another day."

Xiao Hongyi nodded.
