Chapter 3: Flowers bloom in the south of the city

At night, Xiao Yunmi's kimono lay on the futon, holding his arms and listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, his eyes were clear and he had no sleep. The rain became heavier and heavier, accompanied by thunder. It wasn't until dawn when the rain stopped that Xiaoyunmi fell asleep in a daze. The scene of her past life in the dream kept replaying in her mind, she fell off the horse, Liu Mingxuan stabbed her in the chest with a sword, staring at her viciously. With a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is what you owe me, it is you who owe me!"

"No! It's not me! It's not me who punishes your three clans! It's my father!" Xiao Yunmi opened his eyes, the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, and the beaded curtains on the side of the bed curtain collided in the air with a crisp sound. Her hands clung to the futon beneath her, and the only sound of her heavy breathing could be heard in the silent room.

The rain outside the window began to stop, and the sky was bright. She took off the jade pendant tied to the bed frame, rubbed it in her hand, and kept whispering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. There was a deep guilt in her voice, and the girl's suppressed cry came from the curtain.

Even the strongest people have a vulnerable side.

It was slightly bright, and a ghostly figure sneaked into the mansion. The masked girl in black knelt under Xiao Yunya, and slowly reported the news she had received: "Master, someone deliberately sprinkled tung oil on the wall and led the young lady to the courtyard, so that the young lady will slip." ”

Xiao Yunya clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes were ruthless. Since they dare to do this to Yun Mi, then I don't have to show mercy to my subordinates. ”

Xiao Yunya stepped forward to untie the black cloth covering the girl's face and ordered, "In order to prevent anyone from harming Yun Mi again, you will go to her side tomorrow to protect her on my behalf." ”

"In the future, you will be called Ning Kai. ”

The girl bowed her head and thanked her: "Thank you for the name, my subordinates will definitely protect the young lady." "She lives in a dark swamp, and the person in front of her has given her the opportunity to get close to the sun, so she will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.

Xiao Yunmi woke up on the second day, there was a black-clothed girl in front of the bed, the girl carried a silver sword around her waist, pursed her lips, and stared at Xiao Yunmi.

Xiao Yunmi had just woken up from his sleep, and when he saw the person in front of the bed, his eyes were fixed, and he was murderous for a while. Ning Zi was shocked by this gaze, knelt down in front of the bed and saluted: "Subordinate Ning Kai has seen Miss." ”

Xiao Yunmi got up and poured a cup of tea to moisten his throat, saw the secret sign on the girl's sword, withdrew his murderous aura, looked at her like a torch and asked, "Are you the secret guard next to my brother?"

Shocked by Xiao Yunmi's gaze, he broke out in a cold sweat, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the master sent me to protect Miss." ”

"What's going on?"

I didn't expect the little master to suddenly ask this, and the master had specially instructed him not to tell the little master about it. Ning Hao pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, the master said that this matter is very involved, and my subordinates cannot tell you about it." ”

Xiao Yunmi stood in front of Ning Qi, threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and with a bang, the tea splashed, and the fragments cut a cut on Ning Zi's face, Xiao Yunmi reached out and stroked the wound on Ning Qi's face, and sneered: "Brother asked you to come to me, then you are my person, and only I am your master." In addition, I am also a member of the Xiao family, so I can't know what is going on. ”

Ning Kai looked up at her in shock, the girl's body seemed to contain powerful energy, and layer after layer of coercion poured towards her. Ning Qi's hands and feet were weak and collapsed to the ground, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. From this moment, Ning Kai knew that the girl in front of him must not be a thing in the pool.

She struggled for a while to control herself, and half-knelt in front of Xiao Yunmi and slowly said the matter: "Over the years, the Xiao family has been afraid that the young master will gain power to retaliate against them, and they have been suppressing the young master many times. Not long ago, Marquis Min intended to recruit the young master, and the Xiao family forced the young master to give up this opportunity, so he blackmailed you. ”

Sky...... family

"I see, get up. ”

Ning Kai got up and stood up, and she stood behind Xiao Yunmi with her head down.

After a while, the kitchen sent someone to bring the breakfast, and after the breakfast, Xiaoyunmi walked to the courtyard, picked up a dead wood and practiced swordsmanship alone.

Ning Kai was full of questions, since the master woke up, not only has his personality changed greatly, but he has also practiced swordsmanship.

The swordsmanship is elegant, the moves are smooth, and he is obviously very familiar with swordsmanship. Under Ning Qi's surprised gaze, Xiao Yunmi threw the wooden stick at the sycamore tree, and the wooden stick stuck straight into the tree.

"Good swordsmanship. ”

Before anyone heard his voice, the man's crisp voice sounded in the courtyard. The purple-robed young man sitting at the head of the wall flipped off the wall, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled brightly at Xiaoyunmi.

Ning Kai had seen this person, he was the prince of the Minhou Mansion, she stepped forward and whispered in Xiaoyunmi's ear: "Miss, it's the son of Min." ”

Min Shizi walked to the big tree and reached out to pull out the stick. The wooden stick had already entered the tree for three points, and Min Shizi used a lot of strength to pull out the wooden stick.

Min Shizi looked at the wooden stick and said in amazement: "I never thought that Miss was a woman, and she had such good swordsmanship, which really opened my eyes." ”

This set of swordsmanship could have been shown better, but this body was too weak.

"This swordsmanship is just average, and the prince praised it falsely. It's just that I don't know what is so special about the courtyard of this boudoir woman that attracts you here. The eyebrows were raised, and his tone was flat. Men are not allowed to enter the women's courtyard of the boudoir, this is the rule, and it is also related to a woman's reputation. Although she didn't care about the fame, she still didn't like some uninvited people.

This sword technique is unheard of, magnificent, and the sword is like a bamboo. It's quite a general's style.

Min Shizi was sarcastic at her, and said with embarrassment: "Recently, Brother Yunya asked me to go to the south of the city to step on the spring, he went to prepare the carriage and horses, I walked around, but I didn't know that this was Miss Haihan's boudoir, and I looked at Miss Haihan." As he spoke, his gaze wandered around the courtyard.

The dignified prince has apologized to her fallen official lady, what else can she do Xiao Yunmi noticed his gaze and sneered in his heart, I am afraid that he did it with a heart. I don't know what he's looking for.

Xiao Yunmi turned around, leaving Min Shizi with a thin back. "Since it's a misunderstanding, then the son of the world, please. ”

Marquis Min has a huge influence in the court, and he is the target of various parties and factions. And Min Shizi served in the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the assessment of officials, and was a rare young talent in the capital, and he was also a hot talent in Beijing. Everywhere there are stars and moons, only he doesn't give face to others, and no one dares to show him his face.

But I didn't expect that I would touch a gray nose in Xiaoyunmi, and his handsome face was full of embarrassment. But he quickly covered it up. I was even more curious about Xiao Yunya's sister, she seemed to be very different from ordinary boudoir women.

His eyes were clear, and he calmed down and said to the woman's back: "I haven't asked Miss Fang's name yet, and I am in the prince of the Xiamin Marquis Mansion, Min Yi." ”

"Seeker. The woman turned, following the movements. The end of the white towel on the forehead that bandaged the wound swayed in the air.

A pair of calm and dark eyes, without flinching, met Min Yi's gaze.

The tear mole at the end of her eyes added a bit of color to her eyes, and she suddenly lost her mind.

With a click, the courtyard pushed away from the outside. Xiao Yunya walked in, and saw Min Yi and his sister standing in the courtyard, his eyes showed a look of surprise, why is Min Yi here?" The horses are ready, let's go. ”

Min Yi glanced at Xiao Yunmi, and smiled at Xiao Yunya: "I just went to the wrong place and strayed into the courtyard of the sister. The weather is good today, so let's let Yunmi go out and play together. There are a lot of gardenias in the south of the city, and they bloom a lot these days. It's a good season to see the flowers. ”

Yun Mi hasn't been out for a while, and he is usually busy with official business and has no time to accompany her. In a few days, the decree will come down, and he will be on his way to the border. But considering that the wound on Yun Mi's forehead had not healed, Xiao Yunya looked at Yun Mi and was a little hesitant for a while.

"The courtyard was boring and I wanted to go out for a walk. Since the son of the world has made an appointment, there is no more excuse. ”

She found that she knew too little about the world right now. It's good to go out and have a look, learn more about this world, and then know how to go in the future.

Xiao Yunya prepared a carriage for Xiao Yunmi, but was rejected by Xiao Yunmi. Xiaoyunmian wants to ride a horse like them.

It rained in early summer, and the weather was slightly cool.

"Miss, you're riding too fast, let's wait for the prince and the young master. Ning Hao rode a horse and followed behind Xiao Yunmi, and Xiao Yunya and Min Shizi had long been left behind by Xiao Yunmi.

When he went out, Xiao Yunmi changed into a dark blue men's dress, and three thousand green silk were tied to the top of his head with a jade crown. That fresh and moving face, with this men's outfit, looks like a handsome young man. The white scarf tied on her forehead gave her a little more elegant scholarly temperament.

She grinned and pulled the reins. "Then just wait. ”

Xiao Yunya and Min Yi followed behind on horseback, and Min Yi looked at a woman in a blue robe with a tall back. praised: "Brother Xiao, your sister is really unusual compared to the usual boudoir lady. Not only can he martial arts, but he can also ride horses. ”

Xiao Yunya smiled, he didn't expect Yun Mi to ride a horse. The smooth movement of turning over on the horse just now really surprised him.

"My sister is naughty by nature and is spoiled by me and A-Niang. Let the prince see it smile. "The Xiao family has been a martial arts general for generations, Yun Mi has been practicing martial arts with him until he was twelve years old, and there is nothing unusual about martial arts and horsemanship.

Seeing that Xiao Yunmi stopped in front of them and waited for them, the two looked at each other and smiled. Rode after him.

There are many children of official families outside the city who came out to go out for spring, and they met a lot of them along the way. When those people saw Min Yi, it was like a dog seeing meat and bones, and they stepped forward to say hello one by one. Min Yi played with them with an estranged smile, and after a while, Xiao Yunya and Min Yi were surrounded by those official children.

Xiao Yunmi left them alone and walked to the front, very free.

There was a tea shed and a horse shed outside the south of the city, and Xiao Yunmi asked Ning Kai to tie the horses to the stable.

"Since it's Tachun and it's not interesting to ride a horse all the time, let's walk around. "All the way to the south of the city are snow-white gardenias, and even the wind carries a fragrance of gardenias.

"But Miss, the prince and the young master haven't come here yet. Ning Wei frowned and said in a tangled manner.

"No problem, they'll pass by later. You go and say hello to the owner of the tea shed, and say that if anyone asks, say that we are going east. ”
