Volume 1 The Wind Rises and the Clouds Fly Chapter 44 Winter is Coming

In recent days, Long Xiao has lived a very regular and even boring life, practicing light exercises every morning, attending Baifu's big classes in the morning, and endless meditation and cultivation in the afternoon and evening.

In fact, for Long Xiao, such a day is much more comfortable than following the villagers out of the mountains to hunt before.

The days of freedom always fly by in time, and a month passes quickly.

In this month, the only thing that can be comforted is the news of Nian'er that I occasionally heard from the four seas.

Now, everyone in the world knows that since the emperor recognized this righteous daughter, his temperament has changed greatly, and he has changed from the cold and indifferent of the past to become full of warmth.

In the previous dynasty, he began to actively share the worries and solve problems for the courtiers. The old couple of Wenyuan Pavilion quarreled and quarreled, and the two fought together without saying a word in the lobby of the house. The elder Ge's face was scratched by the lady, and the lady was beaten to the bruises on her face, and she didn't get out of bed for a few days. So much so that later, his wife in her fifties made trouble with her little daughter-in-law, who cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, and had to give herself forty years of diligence and hard work to give birth to five children for the elder Ge. For this reason, the emperor actually visited in person, had a long talk with the old man and his wife, waved the inscription, and gave the old lady of the pavilion as a "great kung fu man", which successfully alleviated the contradiction between the two and became the hottest story in the market.

In the harem, he also began to patronize the considerate palaces. Amnesty for the palace people who made mistakes and imprisoned, the concubines who abide by their duties, and the little masters of the harem are finally looking forward to spring, changing the sighs and sighs of the empty palace alone, one by one, they are all a lot younger, and even the draft that has not been mentioned for a long time has been put on the agenda again, and the major members in the city have paid salutes and bridges, and selected their most beautiful girls to enter the palace draft. The harem, which used to be cold, finally gained some popularity.

As a result, everyone's suspicions and suspicions about this righteous woman in the past gradually collapsed, and the court and harem all praised her.

In recent days, the emperor also specially found a master for the princess and began to cultivate. Everyone saw how good the future of this princess was, and the major clan forces began to curry favor with her through various means.

The princess has become a hot new star in the DPRK.

This is what Long Xiao is happy to see, but also afraid to see.

He never thought it was a good thing for the stars to hold the moon, he believed that the higher he held, the harder he fell. It's like hunting in the mountains, the hunter always puts all kinds of bait in front of the carefully arranged trap, and when the beast is happy to eat it, he gets carried away, and then he will step into the abyss of death.

The relationship between people in the palace is complex, and it seems to be light and calm on the surface, but all kinds of gains and losses are treacherous, and the undercurrent is surging, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire, and it is difficult to be alone.

Especially with the attention of Long Nian, some people will also be covered up, and they will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of these people.

Long Xiao has been at the full level of Qi for more than a month, and there is no sign of breaking the realm so far, which also makes him understand that cultivation is not as easy as he sees, the four seas are already at the full level of gathering spirits at the age of thirteen, although Bai Yunyun has not been able to break through the realm for many years, but because he does not like to cultivate, once he is on the mind, he can break through the realm, after all, these genius spirit masters around him are still a minority of the few, and more are those who have practiced hard for several years in the Bai family's outer pavilion, but they have not been able to break through the realm until they are eighteen years old, so they can only send him to the position of a small steward he is looking for, and he has been hastily doing this life.

Before you know it, it is winter, and then there is more than a month to be the winter year, a big day for the whole world to celebrate.

In the future, all the princes of the Holy Ancient Xuan Kingdom and the surrounding small affiliated countries will come to Kyoto with tribute to congratulate them, showing their loyalty to the Great Xuan Kingdom.

Although it is not clear whether it is brave and loyal, the treasures of the tribute are absolutely genuine. I heard that last year, a Xiliang country alone donated ten carts of gold and jade, and sent ten geisha, all of whom were extremely talented, and their soft waists could be twisted out of flowers, and the most bloody was to give the princess of their country to the emperor as a concubine.

Because the princess of Xiliang Kingdom has foreign blood and her appearance is quite exotic, the emperor gladly accepted it and gave her the title of Ximing. Although the emperor is not very favored, he is also very cared for, and it is extremely valuable for the harem concubines.

But the hottest topic in the dozens of streets of the capital is actually not those tributes, because I don't know where the news came from that the second prince of Dongshan Kingdom was going to personally lead the team to the capital.

And Jing Congxing, the second prince of Dongshan Kingdom, is a fairy-like character!

He was born to the queen of Dongshan Kingdom, although he is the second prince, he is not known how many times stronger than the eldest prince born by the side concubine, and Dongshan Country has always been virtuous and not long, which can be said to be the heart of the king and the wishes of the people.

He has amazing talent, he opened his mind at the age of six, practiced at the age of seven, gathered spirits at the age of nine, and was accepted as a closed disciple by the immortals who came and went to the Great Law View of the Mountain, and was also known as the most beautiful man in the world.

Hearing the news, whether it is the girl's family in a small household or the wife who has already married, they all cheered up and waited for the pilgrimage team of Dongshan Country on the door frame every day, for fear of missing the opportunity to see the world's most beautiful man, and regretting it for life.

Sihai is no exception.

During these days, Sihai has always been secretive, sometimes even missing for a few days, thinking that it is a critical period to enter the promotion of Dongxuan, fortunately, every time he goes out, he informs him, and Long Xiao is inconvenient to ask, as long as he doesn't make a fool like last time, let her go.

But these days are different, she doesn't know where she heard a small news, saying that the prince of Dongshan Kingdom loves the beauty of Xuanguo, and once released a word, he must take the woman of Xuanguo as a concubine, this time he came to the court to marry a concubine, and he even began to think about it.

Never thought that Sihai would be as pregnant as the little girl in an ordinary household on the street, Long Xiao felt a little incredible, not only incredible, but even a little annoyed.

Obviously, he is burdened with family hatred and clan hatred, and he is dedicated to practicing revenge, how can he think about the wind and snow all day long, and also learn from the little girl Huaichun, the demeanor of the eldest sister in the Bai family's outer pavilion was blown away by the wind that had just entered the winter, or her brain was broken and she had amnesia, Long Xiao really wanted to drill into her brain to take a good look, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she even began to cultivate unintentionally.

This inexplicable anger finally erupted one afternoon.

That day, the two of them were fighting tooth sacrifices outside, and they went to Wu's sister-in-law to eat a bowl of scallion roasted chicken noodle soup and prepared to go home, but on the way home, Sihai suddenly couldn't move in front of a shop, and Long Xiao looked up and saw that it was a fat powder shop.

This fat powder shop is called Sulwhasa Kee, and it is the most famous fat powder shop in Kyoto, and although the products in the store are good, it is most famous for no other reason than that it is expensive!

This price is naturally not something that ordinary people can afford every day, but no matter how poor the family is, if a girl marries, if there is no Sulwhasa fat powder and spice in the dowry, she will never be able to marry.

There is still a saying in the market, called: "Seven points of snow white, three points of peach, there is a fragrant wind in the snowflake book, a lip red, two bottles of flower dew, and someone chases in the dream of a beauty." ”

This should be an advertisement made by the merchant itself, some of which are crepe and some sour, but they are very useful.

The girls regard the use of Sulwhasa fat powder as the easiest and fastest way to catch up with the fashion trend, and the young grandmothers and little girls of all the families are talking about which color of the lip blush is eye-catching, and which flavor of spices is how to hook the soul.

But those women are all laymen, what are you doing all over the world!

When Long Xiao saw the signboard of Xuehuaji, his heart was inexplicably angry, and his face grew on the spot.

Sihai didn't care at all, stopped in front of the door, rubbed his white little hands a little excitedly, looked at Long Xiao with a happy face and said, "Xiaojia, I want to go in and have a look." ”

Long Xiao Tieqing, but because of the bustling flow of people around, he didn't want to lose his face, so he said coldly: "Go by yourself, I'll go home and wait for you." ”

Sihai was not interrupted by Long Xiao's uncooperation in the slightest, and ran into the gate of Bai Xueji with brisk steps, as if he was humming a little song in his mouth.

Long Xiao pursed his lips, snorted coldly, and said, "The prince of Dongshan Kingdom has not yet come, so he has taken away your soul, do you really think that he can marry you by smearing some fat powder?"

When he got home, he sat on a chair and waited until evening, but he still didn't see the shadow of the four seas, Long Xiao was not interested in cultivating at this time, so he simply went to the backyard to water the flowers and plants, apply fertilizer, and pass the time.

Just when Long Xiao finally ran out of patience and was about to go out to Snowflake to bring the four seas back, the door finally rang.

I saw Sihai humming a little song that I didn't know where I learned, and jumping into the door with a bunch of colorful bottles and cans.

Long Xiao frowned, his face was so black that it seemed to be coated with a layer of ash at the bottom of the pot, and said coldly: "Can't you hold it in your bracers? Or do you want the men, women, and children on the street to know that you are getting married?!"

Sihai glanced at Long Xiao, heard the sarcasm in his words, and said, "I want you to take care of it." Then he entered the room with great interest, and carefully placed the bottles and cans on the table, and carefully rubbed them one by one, and couldn't put them down.
