Nalan Xuyi helped his father tidy up his clothes, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after the early dynasty, it is his sister's canonization ceremony, and this ceremony, the emperor sent an invitation to Nalan Rongque. Nalan Rongque originally wanted Xu Yi to do it for him, but the emperor himself spoke, and he didn't shirk it. He glanced at the dress on his body, the last time he wore it was during the Chinese New Year, and this dress was made some changes by Nalan Lingyun to return the gift of the Son of Heaven.

Nalan Rongque didn't say a word, he looked at the camellia pattern embroidered on this dress and was fascinated, but it was Nalan Lingyun who was talking endlessly. Nalan Xuyi looked at his silent father, and his heart was a little stunned.

At this time, Nalan Rongque said: "This dress will be rude to the Son of Heaven. ”

Nalan Lingyun, who was packing up his things, immediately stood up and shouted, "What?"

"The Son of Heaven spoke, and the Nalan family couldn't hide. Marriage with the royal family will have to face them, the grievances of the past...... After more than 400 years, it is long overdue to turn the page. Nalan Rongque looked at Nalan Lingyun and said, "I asked you to help bring the things, take them out." ”

"That's what our ancestors have handed down...... You also wore it twice when you were an adult and when you got married...... You really want to ...... such an important thing", Nalan Lingyun became excited, and he was unwilling in his heart.

"Yes, this was originally the most valuable dress in the family as a reward from the emperor of the previous dynasty, as a coming-of-age ceremony for each patriarch. I had thought about it a long time ago, and I was originally going to let Xu Yi go instead of me. That's all there is to it now......"

"Xu Yi, hurry up and persuade your father...... Ay...... How can this be...... Are you going to compromise?The laws of the old ancestors have also changed......", the more Nalan Lingyun spoke, the more he lost his confidence, he knew in his heart that no matter what he said, it would not affect Rong Que's decision.

"Little grandpa, I understand what you mean. Family rules are to be followed, but unlike in 400 years, now that the family has suffered from changes, how to survive is more important than following the rigid family rules. The royal family has a very good attitude towards us, making concessions according to the family rules, and Yun Xi has a lot of love for his sister, which is a rare thing among the royal family and nobles. It's a good deal. Nalan has reappeared in people's field of vision, and even if there is a danger after writing, he can be regarded as being protected by the royal family. We should say something, and that's a reasonable thing to do. ”

Nalan Rongque heard the word "buying and selling" in his words, and sighed in his heart. The reason why he agreed to Xie Yu's proposal was because he had his own plans, and now he heard his son say that he had dragged out all the things he wanted in his heart, and the hidden things in his heart were suddenly exposed, and he was somewhat emotional.

"......", Nalan Lingyun didn't speak after hearing this, but silently moved out the box containing the dress, and then said softly: "In the future, there will be no little granddaughter in the family, and the excitement will be halved." Are you willing to marry your sister?"

"It's not a matter of reluctance, it's that there's no other solution. If I were my dad, I would do the same as him. Time changes, circumstances change, and the impossible becomes possible. ”

"Then A-Ying, you didn't bring it back?"

Suddenly, the room was quiet again. Nalan Lingyun was quite uncomfortable with his sentence "impossible becomes possible". He shifted his attention to Nalan Xuyi.

"Did you see her? Your father said she was in the Western Regions. It just so happens that I look at the appearance of that friend of yours in the Western Regions, he should have helped you. Seeing that he didn't speak, Nalan Lingyun asked again.

Although Nalan Xuyi lowered his eyes, his eyes were still flat.

"I saw her, and she didn't want to come back with me. ”

"This time you came home after participating in your little granddaughter's wedding, and your father's body couldn't resist it. Inherit your father's life as soon as possible. Now that the number of family members is scarce, I hope you will add a few more pairs of chopsticks to your family in the future. I'll pick a few girls for you, and if you go to Lingyun in a few days, someone will take you to see it......"

"I ...... I'm already husband and wife with her......" Nalan Xuyi looked at the ground and whispered.

Nalan Lingyun frowned and said, "Heh, are you a husband and wife? I don't believe what you said." Are you lying to your little grandfather again, don't you understand? How can a man and a woman who has practiced ruthless Tao since childhood? Even so, will you bring her to meet her family?"

"Grandpa doesn't believe me......"

"And what about the wedding bracelet on your wrist?"

Nalan Xuyi subconsciously pulled his sleeve to try to cover the wound on his wrist.

"I broke it. ”

"Since you are husband and wife, why do you want to tear it up?"

"I ...... Re-tell me about the matchmaker, is that what my dad meant?"

"That's what I mean, it's nothing to do with your father. I don't care about these things, in short, I hope you can be in charge, the Nalan family doesn't need a patriarch who is unsympathetic and loves to say the 'truth', and he doesn't even understand love, how can it be done?"

After Nalan Lingyun said this, he immediately went out the door, and he disappeared from their sight without looking back.

Nalan Rongque didn't say a word, only to see that he didn't know what he used to cut his finger, and then drew a talisman in the air, his blood seemed to be suspended in the air, and with the completion of the talisman, the blood in the air gradually disappeared.

Nalan Xuyi suddenly felt that there were thousands of emotions pouring out in his heart, he had never experienced so many emotions, and he was stunned for a while.

"The Ruthless Tao does improve since childhood, but it is basically the choice of a monk, as a cultivation of the mind, it should have started from the time of leaving home to practice, because it is still living in the red dust of the world, so it does not seek precision. You have asked to learn this method since you were a child, but I always felt that it was inappropriate, and I should have insisted on my choice in the first place. Now I've temporarily hindered its operation, and when you understand the meaning of it, it will unravel. You may not get used to it at first, but you will get used to it slowly. ”

"Daddy...... I just ......"

"Compared to A-Ying, who I haven't seen for many years, you prefer the little girl who often comes to Lingyun to make trouble. ”

Nalan Xuyi looked surprised and said, "It turns out that my father knows everything?"

"Of course, it's just that she is the second daughter of Li Shu, the head of the household department, so you will break off your relationship on the grounds that you have a marriage contract, and you have to go out to travel. ”

Nalan Rongque looked at his son, couldn't wait for his answer for a long time, and then said, "Do you know why Daddy wants to decide this family business?"

"Dad has a deep friendship with Uncle Ye...... Have you made an agreement before?"

"This is one of them, but the real reason is ......", Nalan Rongque stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and then drove the internal strength, and the room was instantly filled with spring breeze.

Nalan Xuyi looked at his father in surprise as his eyes changed from black to red, this is Xuantian Gangqi? It turns out that Dad also has Xuantian Gangqi? But Dad's Gangqi is a little different. Before he had time to think, he suddenly felt a warm heat in his body crash into the meridians, slowly opening up all over his body.

Nalan Xuyi felt strange, when did he have this exercise, he glanced at the bronze mirror beside him to show his appearance, and his pupils also turned red, but unlike Nalan Rongque, his eyes were reddish-brown.

"You really have the truth of husband and wife, and you also gave her the second-layer skill of 'Cold Water Luoshen'. After Nalan Rongque let go, everything returned to calm.

"This ...... Is it Xuantian Gangqi? It's so gentle......"

"After the girl of the Ye family gets married, when the yin and yang meet, the Xuantian Gang Qi in the body will be compatible with the surrounding cyclones and dissipate...... As for where to go, you should know by now. Xiaotian didn't want Xuan Tiangang's anger to fall into the hands of others, so he agreed with me about your marriage. After all, this Gang Qi is far from ordinary moves, and it was originally practiced by men. The Gang Qi in my body was given to me by your Uncle Ye when I was young to cure my cold body, and thanks to him I can live until now. ”

After hearing this, Nalan Xuyi suddenly understood many things, after the Ye family's fire, the entire martial arts changed from the target of the whirlwind blue and white knife to Ye Ruying, even if Yazhi now takes the blue and white knife in and out of the rivers and lakes, although the wind is surging, there is not much change in the general environment.

"That'...... Does anyone else know?"

"I don't know, I don't know, the world just knows that if I get her, I will get Xuantian Gangqi, but I don't know the specific reason. And this news came out precisely because of herself. ”

She wanted to protect her brother, so she pushed herself onto the cliff...... I shouldn't have left angry that day, I should have brought her back...... Father...... Isn't it particularly disappointing that I did so much ......"

"You, hurry up and get out of the confines of the patriarch's name, I hope you can do what you want to do and be your true self. This is what my father expects from you, don't care about how the Nalan family is now, I won't let this family break up if I'm still alive. Nalan Rongque said and smiled.

Nalan Xuyi was stunned, "Do you agree with what I do?"

"As long as you feel meaningful and don't violate morality, I don't have a problem. You're twenty years old, and the rest of your life is your own. ”

"That'...... I want to go back to Tianji Tower and concentrate on cultivation, is it okay?"

"Yes. Nalan Rongque looked at him and said, but there was another worry in his heart: "I'm afraid that you don't have the heart to cultivate." ’

Xie Yu seemed to have something, strode to find Xie Yunxi, he pushed the door and found that the room was empty, and then he immediately turned around and went to the Buddha hall, and found that most of the three incense sticks on the tribute board were burned. At this time, the sky outside the house was slightly bright, and he turned to Qiansi beside him and said, "Where did this kid go?"

Qiansi's face was speechless: "Little prince...... He...... He went to ......"

"Looks like you want fifty lashes too. Xie Yu said indifferently.

"Little Prince...... He spent the night in the sea of books yesterday, but he just went back to the house to change his clothes, and went out on the third watch. He didn't say where to go...... It's just that before the early dynasty, he had something to do. I don't know about the rest......" Qiansi said with her head down, not daring to look at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu frowned slightly, "This kid actually left first." ”

It's already time for the Nalan family to enter the palace, who will lead them into the palace? Xie Yu thought in his heart, let Liu Shenbai (bronze) go, but there was something wrong, his face had not completely recovered...... And he didn't want to be in front of the minister.

Xie Yu walked towards the door where the carriage stopped, and suddenly, he saw Nalan Rongque's figure and immediately stopped.

Qian Si stared at the ground, and said good things to Xie Yu all the way, "Little Wangye, he is married, what should he do, he must have something to do, if you are worried, let the little one do it......"

Xie Yu stopped for a long time and didn't answer him, and then Qian Si looked up and saw the people of the Nalan family stunned.

Xie Yu's gaze fell on Nalan Rongque, who, as usual, was still white on a particularly solemn day like today. It's just that today's white is very different from the white of the past.

"Old Lord...... Isn't it a little inappropriate for the Nalan family to wear white today......", Qiansi asked Xie Yu softly, although he said so, he felt like a god descending to earth.

"Do you know, Mr. Nalan is a reward from the emperor of the previous dynasty, and it has a certain important position in the family, and it is only worn on major festivals and family ceremonies. It should be said that it is the highest etiquette to go to the saint today. Xie Yu said, he saw Nalan Rongque in the distance turn around and get into Nalan Zhishui's carriage, and when he lowered the curtain, Nalan Rongque and Xie Yu instantly looked at each other.

"Think, I change my mind. I'd better go along. After Xie Yu finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked back.

Nalan Zhishui was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and she sat straight in the sedan chair alone, her eyes lowering and she didn't know what she was thinking. This is a little more dignified than the liveliness on weekdays, and she was a little surprised when she saw Nalan Rongque enter the sedan chair.

"Daddy ......", Nalan Zhishui had never seen her father wear this dress, and she was suddenly curious.

"I chatted with Xu Yi for a while in the morning, and now it's your turn. Nan, if you don't want to do this family business, you can still talk to your father now. Nalan Rongque sat beside her and whispered.

"Now...... It's done, and there's no need for it. If I say no, what will happen to my father?"

Nalan Rongque thought for a while, raised the thing he had been playing with in his hand, and said: "This is something that the founding emperor Xie Qinyun rewarded the family, and he promised that as long as there is no treason or morals, the Xie family will agree to the three of us." I've used the words of thank you once before, and we still have two wishes. If you say no, I'll take out this thing. ”

Nalan Zhishui looked at the golden seal in his hand, and replied for a long time: "No." Daddy, don't waste this opportunity for me. ”

"No waste. ”

"The Liang Wangfu has been preparing as early as January, and the invitations have been sent out, and some guests have gone to the capital. The marriage was agreed to by my father, and it was difficult for the royal family to save face when it came to such a big ceremony. Daddy couldn't do that. ”

Nalan Rongque sighed after hearing this, "You, you didn't even give me a chance." ”

"I know that my father is reluctant to let me go, and my father can often come to the capital to see me. Besides, Yun Xi is his father's apprentice, and he knows the roots, and his father has nothing to worry about. Nalan Zhishui smiled and hugged Nalan Rongque's arm and said.

Nalan Rongque remembered the last time he taught his daughter, but he didn't expect to be comforted by his daughter now, and his heart fluctuated, he took back the things in his hand, if it wasn't for the last resort, he would never use this golden seal. He wanted to say something, but he didn't speak.

"I know a lot of things are not going well, and it would be nice if we could keep everyone safe and sound......

"Nalan doesn't need to use the form of harmony to maintain the safety of the family. I didn't know that Xie Yu had talked to you last time I reprimanded you...... I thought you really liked Yun Xi......"

"I ...... How did Daddy know......"

"Now let me ask you again, would you like to marry into the Xie family?"

Xie Yunxi was outside the walls of the imperial city, and his decoration today was particularly conspicuous, standing alone outside the carriage and staring into the distance.

"Little prince, why don't you get into the car and wait. Yifeng said, they have been waiting here for a long time, this morning before dawn Xie Yunxi went to visit the prefect, and when he came out of his mansion, Yifeng felt that something was wrong with Xie Yunxi.

"It's okay, they've arrived, and they're on time. Xie Yunxi saw Nalan Xuyi riding a horse at the front of the team at first glance, and immediately went up to greet him. Before he could walk in front of Nalan Xuyi, a stern voice sounded, "Do you still know that you are here to pick up people?"
