Red Robe

The red clothes are still very eye-catching in this mountain forest with green trees and green streams.

Those maidservants paused and forgot to go towards her. After a moment of surprise, there was a flash of disdain in their eyes.

Xian Yu kept her mouth shut, with an obedient and timid appearance, like a little red-feathered magpie.

"Miss Six, there are distinguished guests visiting today, you must not go up the main peak." The leading maid looked down at her.

With a blink of her eyes, Xian Yu said shyly, "But, but father never forbids Yu'er to come to the main peak."

The servant girl covered her lips and smiled: "The palace master is at a loss/separation skills now, maybe he forgot to tell you that if the sixth girl disturbs the palace master and distinguished guests, it's no wonder that Shui Bi didn't remind."

The girl standing on the edge of the rock lowered her eyes, clutched her cuffs with her small hands, and said falteringly, "Thank you, Sister Shuibi."

Shui Bi laughed, and gave a look to the maidservants beside her, and the people behind followed her away.

Just as the maidservants left, the submissive girl's expression suddenly changed. She put her hand into her cuff and breathed a sigh of relief after touching the black sachet.

Not as promised just now, Xian Yu continued to walk up the mountain holding the sachet.

But she didn't take the main path, fearing that she would run into the maid who went up the mountain again. Instead, she climbed up the rugged and narrow path by climbing the branches.

On the trail, there were jagged rocks, slanting branches, and slippery mud. Her old red cloth was cut several times by the branches.

Going up from this path, you can reach the front hall directly.

When she was about to climb to the top of the peak, Xian Yu stopped suddenly. She raised her hand to straighten her skirt and brushed her slightly messy hair.

Recalling the first time I met the eldest princess in my previous life, she was already the owner of the Ceasefire Palace, and the world dared not speak rashly. Children would tremble and cry when they heard her name, and even the Dongzhou royal family wanted to give her three points. Two points are for Ceasefire Palace, and one point is for her.

At that time, she was really arrogant, arrogant and willful, she played her tricks to the extreme, she was not like a likable little girl, she was so vile that people just wanted to stay away.

Right now, she is weak and sick, and is being bullied. With the Eldest Princess' temperament of pity for the weak, she will definitely look at her more.

Thinking about it this way, Xian Yu struggled to climb up even more. After reaching the peak, he picked up a few stones to step on, and climbed into the courtyard of the front hall with all his might.

A maidservant in the courtyard was sweeping up fallen leaves, and she didn't notice someone sneaking in for a while.

Xian Yu walked lightly into the hall, the hall was brightly lit, and there were faint conversations of several people.

The hall was empty, even the deliberately quiet voice echoed in the hall.

The conversation came to an abrupt end when there was a plop.

The young girl fell to the ground on all fours, with tears in her eyes and a thing tightly clutched in her hands.

The people who were speaking all turned their heads to look at her, their faces were cloudy and uncertain, as if they were about to explode.

"Who told you to come." The wind ceased the fire but did not wear a crown, and his face was calm and majestic. For a man, this appearance seemed a bit too gorgeous.

This was the first time Xian Yu saw Feng Cease after coming back, and I have to say that she is somewhat similar to Feng Cease, even though she is still young now, she can already see some of Feng Cease's shadow in her eyes.

She turned her eyes and glanced at the person sitting on the other side, and with a quick glance, she recognized the long princess in a long black silk dress.

In her previous life, she was extremely conceited, and few people could catch her eyes, but now she was stunned when she saw the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has not changed, not at all.

Glancing restrainedly, Xian Yu immediately withdrew his gaze, and sighed in his heart, the eldest princess really looks like a bright moon, looks like a lotus, beautiful but distant, dignified and decent.

She pursed her lips, got up with wet eyes, trembling like a little magpie, timidly picked up the sachet in her hand, "Yu'er picked up a sachet, Yu'er thought it belonged to Daddy."

She is obviously the sixth girl of the Ceasefire Palace, the real flesh and blood of Feng Ceasefire, but she is so humble that she can't even compare to the maidservants in this palace.

Feng Cease's face darkened, and he stood up with his hands behind his back. Before he could speak, the princess beside him slowly put down the teacup.

The porcelain cup landed on the table with a crisp sound.

Fangxin, the maidservant standing behind the eldest princess, immediately said, "This is something left by His Royal Highness the eldest princess, thank you for finding it." After she finished speaking, she went in the direction of Xian Yu and took the sachet that the child was holding in her hand. past.

Xian Yu fell on the ground, her head almost touching the ground.

"Look up." Li Qingning said suddenly, her voice was gentle but slightly cold.

The girl lying on the ground raised her head when she heard the sound, and she could tell that she was a little beauty, with fat and white cheeks, although she was thin and small, she still had some flesh on her cheeks, her pair of peach blossom eyes were sparkling, and her eyelashes were trembling.

Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, but there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes, she slightly raised her hand, "Give her a jade bead."

"Yes." Fangxin took out a Lingyu bead, stepped in front of Xianyu, and put the bead in her palm.

Xian Yu was overwhelmed by the flattery, she looked dazed, she glanced sideways at Feng Cease Fire, seeing Feng Cease Fire's complexion darkened again, and then said hastily, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for the reward."

This spirit jade bead is a good thing, it contains a lot of spiritual energy, monks can use it directly for cultivation, even in the Cease Fire Palace, this spirit jade bead is rare.

Li Qingning nodded slightly, "What's your name?"

"Xianyu." Xianyu spoke timidly, and then said: "Feng Xianyu."

In her previous life, she hated Jifeng's family and voluntarily gave up her family name, but now she has to add this surname.

Li Qingning moved her lips slightly, as if she was reading these three words. The name was somewhat familiar, but it was indeed the first time I heard it today.

"Go down and rest." Feng Cease restrained his anger, and flicked Zhu Hong's cuff, "Shui Bi, take her down."

The maid standing by the pillar bowed her voice, walked to Xian Yu's side and gave her a look, then raised her jaw to signal her to follow quickly.

Xian Yu reluctantly stood up, and then quietly glanced at Li Qingning before leaving.

Under the flickering candle lights in the hall, the dark patterns of birds embroidered on the face of Li Qingning's black clothes loomed, glistening and shimmering green, extremely luxurious.

When she was looking away, she suddenly met Li Qingning's gaze.

The eldest princess sitting on the high seat had a faint smile, and she had a gentle and beautiful appearance, but when the pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes turned around, it gave people an inexplicable sense of sharp oppression.

Beautiful, very beautiful.

Xian Yu ruthlessly tore her gaze away from Li Qingning, and timidly followed Shui Bi with her head down.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Shui Bi uttered an impatient nasal voice, looked down at the girl who was just half-waist-high and said, "I said Miss Six, the slaves have already told you not to go to the main peak, why do you still come to tell the palace master?" It's blocking."

Xian Yu tugged at his cuffs, bowed his head and said nothing.

"Forget it, Miss Six, please go back by yourself, Shui Bi has important things to do, so I can't see you off." Shui Bi waved her hand and said.

Xian Yu muffled a reply, walking back and forth in small steps.

Rong'er in the side courtyard was looking forward to it, and only then smiled when he saw Xian Yu came back safe and sound.

"Did Mrs. Tan make things difficult for you?" Rong'er closed the door and said in a low voice.

Xian Yu shook her head, and the hair that was tied into two circles at the back of her head also swayed. She didn't mention anything about the eldest princess, but said: "Never, but Mrs. Tan's elder sister Cao Lu, somehow... ..."

She paused, hesitated and said: "Suddenly she went crazy, and then she was taken away by two men in black clothes, who said they would take her to Miaoxin Pavilion, Mrs. Tan said."

"Ah." Rong'er was stunned, she didn't know about this yet.

Xian Yu raised her hand, put her thin fingers on Rong'er's cuff, raised her head and said, "But, isn't Miaoxin Pavilion a place to treat illnesses?"

"Yes." Mao'er nodded.

"Cao Lu is sick?" Xian Yu pouted, as if she was about to cry.

Rong'er hastily comforted her in a low voice, "The doctor of Miaoxin Pavilion has rejuvenated his hands and will definitely cure Miss Caolu."

"That's good." She sniffed.

The doctor of Miaoxin Pavilion is indeed a good hand to rejuvenate, maybe he can't cure the "disease" of Caolu, it's another story.

……

Li Qingning in the hall had already said that she was tired, and it was hard to talk about the wind and fire, so she had to ask Shui Bi to arrange a place to stay as soon as possible.

After entering the house, Fangxin closed the door and quickly made a pot of tea for Li Qingning.

The tea in the Ceasefire Palace is raised from spiritual springs, and the tea is fragrant. Even for ordinary people, drinking this tea can prolong life.

"Fangxin, what's going on with what I asked you to do a few days ago." Li Qingning held up the teacup and blew lightly, the green buds floating in the tea moved slightly.

Standing behind her, Fang Xin said in a low voice: "Feng Xihuo had two sons and four daughters, and two of them died young. The eldest daughter, Feng Yuanmian, is only twenty-eight years old, but... she is not so weak."

Li Qingning frowned, "Besides Feng Yuanmian, there are others of the same age."

"She's the only one." Fang Xin replied.

"Just her?" Li Qingning couldn't believe it.

"It's absolutely true." Fang Xin lowered her head and answered truthfully.

Li Qingning looked gloomy, she put down the teacup, and muttered to herself: "Why not, that girl didn't appear in my dream for no reason, she should be dressed in red, her face...can't remember clearly , That’s all, tomorrow you will bring that Wind Wish Sleep.”

"Yes." Fang Xin nodded.

Chapter 5

It was cool in the mountains, and as soon as dusk came, the chill came from everywhere.

The sky had already darkened a lot, and when the sun set on the mountain, dark clouds spread like covering the sky, and the strong wind was even more terrifying.

The torrential rain finally arrived, pouring down like a torrential downpour.

The food that Rong'er had prepared on the table early in the morning was cold, and the kitchen in the side yard was not easy to light a fire, and the dry firewood in the firewood room was wet by someone, it was so damp that it couldn't be burned at all.

The thin wooden windows were creaked by the wind, and the wooden house seemed to be blown down by the wind.

After closing the window, Rong'er picked up the dishes on the table and said, "I'll find a way to heat up the dishes. Sixth girl, stay indoors and don't run outside anymore. It's windy and rainy outside, so don't worry about it." Got a cold again."

Xian Yu wrapped herself in the quilt, only showing Zhang Yubai's small face outside, she nodded obediently, "Yu'er doesn't run around."

Then Rong'er put the vegetables in the food box, opened a paper umbrella, picked up the food box and went outside.

The girl wrapped in the quilt sighed, if she hadn't had to avoid Rong'er for something, she definitely wouldn't have let Rong'er go outside in the rain.

The mountain rain will not stop for a while, and the roof has not been repaired in time, and most of the house will be flooded.

Sure enough, rainwater trickled down from the leak and landed on the ground with a tick.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the house fading away, Xian Yu threw aside the quilt wrapped around her body, took a basin from the corner with bare feet, and placed it in the middle of the room to catch the dripping rainwater.

Miserable, really miserable.

In her previous life, ever since she secured her position as the lord of the Ceasefire Palace, she has been spending extravagantly, as if she wanted to make up for everything that was lacking before. Hard days.

She sighed, took out the spirit jade bead bestowed by Li Qingning, put it to her lips and pecked it lightly, it was the most valuable thing in her body now, so she had to keep it well hidden for emergencies.

Rong'er won't be able to come back for a while, not to mention the hot dishes, it will take a lot of time just to borrow firewood.

Taking advantage of Rong'er's absence, Xian Yu returned to the bed, sat up straight cross-legged, and tried to slowly expel the heart-killing grass toxin entangled in the spirit sea.

Although it's not a big deal to get a little bit of this toxin for a while, but she is inexplicably disgusted, and always feels that the jujube cake that melted in her stomach is a little disgusting.

After thinking about it, maybe it wasn't the jujube cake that was disgusting, it was the third young master Feng Feiyu's way of doing it was really disgusting, and he couldn't blame the jujube cake.

The heart-killing grass toxin on the spiritual sea gradually condensed together, and as Xian Yu exhaled a turbid breath, the toxin also left the body.

In her previous life, her spirit sea was burned and festered in the dark room, and she didn't want to experience it again on the 49th day when her life was worse than death.

This debt has to be settled, but now it is only a few days before Weifeng Island opens, and since the Eldest Princess came to the Ceasefire Palace, let Feng Feiyu live in peace and stability for a while.

After dispelling the heart-killing grass toxin, Xian Yu wrapped the quilt again, pretending nothing happened, and waited for Rong'er to come back.

The moment the thin door opened, the wind whirled in from the outside, almost blowing out the candles in the room.

"Miss Liu, this servant has warmed up a few dishes and ate them while they are still hot. If they are left to cool, they will definitely spoil their stomachs again." Rong'er carried the food box into the door, closed the wooden door with difficulty, and even moved a chair to open the door. blocked.

Xian Yu hurriedly got out of bed, obediently sat at the table, and watched Rong'er take out the food from the food box one by one.

"Thank you, sister Rong'er." She whispered.

"You are really a slave to slaves. This is what a slave should do. It's just a pity that my wife died early, and the palace master is like this... Hey, in the end, it's hard for you, Miss Liu." Rong'er took out the chopsticks and put them on the table. Touched Xian Yu's bowl.

"Yes..." Xian Yu hesitated to speak, and then said sullenly after a while: "It's Yu'er who doesn't live up to expectations."

Rong'er smiled, "What are you trying to do, Miss Six, you are still so young, what do you know?"

These meals are all cooked by velvet, they are not as delicate as those eaten by the other princes and girls, but the taste is acceptable and the stomach is full enough.

After Xian Yu had eaten enough and put down his chopsticks, Rong'er served himself a meal and ate the rest of the meal.She raised her eyes slightly, and said with a smile in her eyes: "Miss Six, do you know who has come to the Cease Fire Palace? When the servant just went to borrow dry firewood, I happened to hear some news."

"Who's here?" Xian Yu pretended not to know.

"It's Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of Dongzhou." Rong'er lowered her voice, "I heard that the Eldest Princess is really graceful, with a graceful posture, as if surprised, but it's a pity that the spiritual sea has not yet opened, and the maid accompanying her is a monk. "

Xian Yu stared wide-eyed, and said in a low voice, "What is the eldest princess doing in the Ceasefire Palace?"

"This..." Rong'er showed a smile, "I didn't ask this, so it's better not to ask more about this matter."

"Why, why." Xian Yu raised her head in ignorance.

"The new emperor of Dongzhou has just taken office not long ago, so we should get him closer—" Rong'er suddenly covered his mouth, and turned to look out the window, but the wind and rain outside were all blocked by the closed window sash, so he couldn't see anything.

"There is no room for others to talk about royal matters." Rong'er then lowered her voice, "Miss Six should forget about this matter."

Xian Yu nodded, half understanding, like a sparrow pecking at food.

She was very ignorant on the surface, but she understood in her heart that Li Qingning could not have come here to win over the Ceasefire Palace. Even in her previous life, the eldest princess never thought of trying to win over this crooked cult.

Gao Jie is like Li Qingning, who has always disdained to be associated with this demon palace. Although the demon palace does not do evil easily, the food and clothing are extremely extravagant, and the way things are done is very absurd and extreme, and has no mercy for the weak.

The new emperor expressed goodwill to Feng Ceasefire, but Feng Ceasefire's attitude was ambiguous/ambiguous, and he had never participated in the affairs of the court.

What was it that made Li Qingning change her mind, and actually set foot in the magic palace, not only ate the food in the magic palace, but also slept in the first-class guest room in the magic palace.

Xian Yu thought about it and still couldn't figure it out, thinking, it's really hard to guess what the eldest princess is thinking.

The next morning, Xian Yu got up early, tied her braids, straightened her clothes, and ran outside.

She cautiously went to the kitchen on the mountainside of the main peak, poked her head in from the outside and said, "Aunt Fang, Mrs. Tan asked me to serve red dates and blood swallow soup."

Aunt Fang was busy in the kitchen and looked back at her, "Just a moment."

Aunt Fang did not suspect him, after all, Mrs. Tan asked Miss Six to serve tea and water regularly.

Xian Yu stood by the side and waited for the cook to prepare the jujube and blood swallow soup. After pouring it into a bowl, he took a tray with ease, put the porcelain bowl on it, and carried it away in small steps.

In fact, Mrs. Tan didn't ask her to get the blood swallow soup, and she didn't intend to send the blood swallow soup to Mrs. Tan.

Turning the toe of the shoe, it actually headed towards the other courtyard where Li Qingning was temporarily staying.

She walked cautiously, and just as she was about to reach the courtyard gate, she raised her eyes and saw a red figure walking out from the gate as it opened.

This figure is very familiar, isn't it the elder sister Feng Yuanmian, or Mian'er that Madam Tan is holding in her palm.

Xian Yu hid behind a tree, and quietly exposed her head to watch Feng Yuanmian go away.

What is she doing here, is it to please the eldest princess?

Xian Yu was almost breathless, thinking that in the previous life the Eldest Princess had never had anything to do with that Feng Yuanmian, but now everything is messed up, it's really a headache.

After Feng Yuanmian walked away, she knocked on the door with red dates and blood swallow soup.

The door opened from the inside, Fang Xin stood inside, and saw this thin girl with lowered eyes.

Xian Yu looked up at her with clear and innocent eyes, "Daddy asked me to bring this blood swallow soup."

"Palace Master Feng has a heart." Fang Xin bent down and said, "Give it to me."

Xian Yu handed it over, and said timidly, "Did Your Royal Highness sleep well last night?"

Before Fangxin could answer, Li Qingning's voice came from inside.

"Fangxin, bring her in." Li Qingning said.

"Yes." Fang Xin replied, bowed her head and said, "You come with me."

Xian Yu followed, her heart jumped for joy.

After entering the house, Fang Xin withdrew and closed the door from the outside.

In the slightly empty house, there are orphans, women, widows and children sharing the same room, which is very embarrassing.

Li Qingning sat in front of the bronze mirror, with jasper and gold hairpins adorning her hair, and gold ornaments adorned her hair. Her slender eyebrows and narrow eyes were reflected in the mirror.

Xian Yu whispered: "His Royal Highness."

Hearing this, Li Qingning turned her head and glanced at her, her eyes swept across her face, and said slowly: "I heard that there is a mural in the Ceasefire Palace. Mingsha River."

Xian Yu was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, outsiders would have nowhere to know about this mural, but how could Li Qingning know?

She mumbled, "There is indeed a mural."

Li Qingning put down the jade comb, finished drawing her lips, then turned her head and said, "I wonder if I will be honored to appreciate the painting."

"Naturally!" Xian Yu's eyes lit up, "Yu'er can take His Royal Highness the Princess to see."

Although she was puzzled, the opportunity to be alone with the eldest princess was something she couldn't wish for more.

Isn't it just a reward for a painting, what's so difficult about it.

But the mural is still very ugly now. It is said that it was left by a certain powerful person before he died in the thunder disaster, and she had forcibly renovated it.She was the only one in the world who could carve such a portrait with a sword edge on a hundred-foot-high cliff.

The child walked very briskly, after walking a few steps, he turned around and hesitated to speak.

"What?" Li Qingning asked quite patiently.

Xian Yu raised his hand timidly, as if he wanted to but dare not.

Li Qingning smiled inwardly, she had never seen such a pure and flawless child in Dongzhou Palace for a long time, she immediately stretched out her hand and gently squeezed Xian Yu's soft palm.

When his hands touched, Xian Yu frowned indistinctly, and only for a moment opened his brows again.

It's strange, it's impossible for Li Qingning not to have opened her spiritual sea, but her spiritual sea is closed, and people can't find a trace of spiritual energy, she clearly looks like an ordinary person.

She had her own way of searching for spiritual energy, even if she used pills to cover it up, she couldn't hide it from her, but now that she probed again and again, she really couldn't feel the existence of any spiritual energy in Li Qingning's body.

How could this be.

"Why did you stop?" Li Qingning asked.

Xian Yu raised her head and smiled, "Yu'er is wondering if there is a shortcut to get to Yahua, and is worried that His Highness the Princess is tired."

Forget it, maybe Li Qingning's spiritual sea opened a little later in this life.

Li Qingning pinched her palm lightly, and Li Qingning's hand was not soft, but rather cold.

Xian Yu thought again, the eldest princess definitely doesn't like girls who are too far away and rude, and he touched her hand when he first came here.

Chapter 6

That cliff painting is in the middle of the mountain, it is really hundreds of feet above the ground, surrounded by clear water below, and the river waves are rushing.

The current is turbulent, the banks are deep and deep, and the cliffs are turned back. The rocks are eroded by the river water, and the traces are mottled.If you fall into the river, you will be swept several miles away in an instant.

Xian Yu did not take Li Qingning down the mountain, but stood on a hanging bridge.

After the heavy rain, the mountain wind still kept howling. When the wind passed, even the suspension bridge was swayed left and right. Accompanied by the creaking sound, the suspension bridge seemed to be about to fall.

Under the bridge is the roaring river, and the waves are like undulating mountains, rushing down along the terrain.

Li Qingning looked at the mountain wall with her hands behind her back, with a little disappointment in her eyes.

Xian Yu raised her head quietly, noticing that she was a little unhappy.

Could it be that the paintings left by the predecessors are too ugly?

It’s not unreasonable to think about it this way. I walked here over the mountains and ridges, but I didn’t see any magical paintings. There was only a large piece of chaotic lines carved on the cliff, and many messy colors were painted in it. Not as good.

I don't know where Li Qingning heard about this mural, but it must be very exquisite in the words of others, otherwise she wouldn't be so disappointed.

"Are you afraid?" After a while, Li Qingning said with downcast eyes.

Xian Yu deliberately tightened the iron chain, nodded timidly, "I'm afraid."

"Don't be afraid." Li Qingning stretched out her hand and grabbed her hand on the iron chain.

Xian Yu's heart was sweet, but she still bit her lip and pretended to be afraid. Her legs shook in a timely manner, but it was not because she was afraid, but because she was tired from standing.

This weakness of body cannot be shaken off, but it is very suitable for pretending to be weak and miserable.

Li Qingning was silent for a long time, and after a moment of contemplation, her vermilion lips parted slightly, and it took a long time before she uttered, "Do you know who made the painting on this cliff?"

"Listen to what Daddy said," Xian Yu frowned, with a wrinkled face, hesitatingly said, "It's a senior who died in a thunder calamity a hundred years ago."

"What's the last name?" Li Qingning cherished the words like gold, but it seemed like she wanted to find out the truth.

It was a good question, but she couldn't answer it.

Even among the people in the Ceasefire Palace, no one has ever explored this issue.

Xian Yu hesitated to speak, and said awkwardly: "An old, old man, I don't know his name."

"How did you know that, but Palace Master Feng told you?" Li Qingning's hands easily circled her thin wrist bones.

"No." Xian Yu raised his hand hanging by his side, and pointed towards the distant cliff, "Look, Your Highness, isn't the painting on the cliff the old man's self-portrait, with a nose and eyes."

This time Li Qingning really fell silent, it wasn't Tong Yan Wuji, it was just that after careful analysis, she found that what Xian Yu said seemed to be true.

How true?They really have noses and eyes.

Xian Yu didn't speak, and felt a little embarrassed.The paintings left by the dignified and powerful seniors are so bad, if not for this, she would not have thought of repairing them in her previous life.

"Forget it, this painting..." Li Qingning paused, "It's really interesting."

That was perhaps the highest compliment she could give.

"Are there other cliff paintings in the Ceasefire Palace?" Li Qingning asked, looking away from the distant cliff.

"Only this one." Xian Yu answered truthfully without thinking too much.

As soon as the words fell, Li Qingning loosened her hand around her wrist.

Regardless of whether she was afraid or not, Li Qingning flicked her long sleeves and walked towards the bridge in silence.On the half-raised cuffs, the thin threads made of pheasant feathers are shiny and green, and the black material complements the hand like jade white.

Xian Yu tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then quickly took steps to follow, hurriedly, "His Royal Highness, wait for Yu'er."

Hearing this, Li Qingning stopped and turned her head, waiting for the child behind her to catch up, and took her hand again.

Xian Yu smiled, the eldest princess is really gentle as water.

The bridge deck bumped as the people on the bridge walked, swaying as if being supported by the tide.

After crossing the bridge, Li Qingning lowered her eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but her eyes were still sharp and cold, and she said softly, "You are not afraid of me."

"The eldest princess is so pretty and treats Yu'er so well, how could Yu'er be afraid." Xian Yu's dark eyes moved, and she looked at the person beside her brightly.

Li Qingning gave a low, very faint smile, "You're quite an interesting kid."

Xian Yu pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled. She tried her best to get close to Li Qingning, pretending to be obedient and half miserable, trying her best to get Li Qingning's attention, but in the end she only got a sentence, "You are quite an interesting kid".

It's miserable, it's really miserable, the road ahead is long, and we still need to work hard.

I don't know where Feng Yuanmian got the news that the eldest princess came to see Yahua, but she came from afar in a grand dress.

Everyone in the Ceasefire Palace, men, women, and children, all wore red clothes, and Feng Yuanmian was no exception, but there was a difference between red clothes and red clothes. For example, the one on her body was embroidered with gold thread, and even the cloth was embroidered with gold thread. It's not your average brocade either.

Xian Yu looked and looked, this big girl Feng Yuanmian's heart was clear, she lived two lifetimes, it was the first time she saw Feng Yuanmian wearing such expensive clothes.

Although Feng Yuanmian is the eldest sister, she is no less favored than anyone else. Since she was a child, she has been favored by Mrs. Tan in her hands, and her temperament is also very arrogant.

She walked up to Li Qingning before saluting, and said softly with a smile, "Mian'er has met His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, her expression did not change, she was as indifferent as ever.

"Your Highness, are you coming to see the cliff paintings? In addition to the cliff paintings, there are also valleys, streams, plank roads and pavilions in the Ceasefire Palace. Mian'er can accompany His Royal Highness the Princess to watch them one by one." Feng Yuanmian glanced at Xian Yu, his eyes slid down, and fell on As soon as she touched Xian Yu's and Li Qingning's holding hands, her expression suddenly changed, and she gritted her teeth faintly.

Xian Yu couldn't help but take half a step back from being stared at, and hid behind Li Qingning.

She was already tired from walking, her heart was beating wildly, she could only pant with her mouth slightly open, and then she was frightened by Feng Yuanmian, her face turned pale again.

I don't know where Feng Yuanmian's confidence comes from, maybe it was Chen Shi who was brought by Fang Xin to meet the eldest princess, and said, "Sister Yu'er is weak, and she looks a little unwell now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enjoy the scenery with His Highness, Why don't you ask Mian'er to take His Highness to appreciate the scenery inside the Ceasefire Palace."

Xian Yu raised her eyes ignorantly, and couldn't help pinching her cuffs to cover her lips and coughing twice.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes and said, "Tired?"

Xian Yu nodded obediently.

"It just so happens that I'm tired, so let's stop here today." Li Qingning gave Feng Yuanmian a light look, alienated and indifferent.

Xian Yu took the opportunity to cough again, her pale face turned red from coughing, it was really pitiful.

Feng Yuanmian had never been treated like this before, he didn't know what to say for a moment, he was very angry, but he couldn't vent his anger on the eldest princess, "That, that, that Mian'er..."

"My palace sees the beautiful mountains and spirits here. The cliff paintings made by the predecessors are extraordinary. There must be hidden mysteries in the paintings, but unfortunately no one has figured them out yet." Li Qingning spoke slowly, with unclear meaning.

After hearing this painting, Xian Yu quickly turned her head to look at the cliff painting, somehow feeling that Li Qingning and she were not looking at the same cliff.

That's right, it is indeed a self-portrait with a nose and eyes, and some kind of mystery is hidden.

But who knows that Feng Yuanmian actually responded: "Mian'er will live up to the princess' expectations, and she will understand the mystery in the painting as soon as possible!"

The eldest princess nodded, without saying a word, she walked away holding Xian Yu's hand.

Xianyu followed along in small steps, feeling a little dizzy, and even inhaled more quickly.

Fortunately, her hands were held tightly, so she wouldn't lag behind too much in her steps, otherwise she and Li Qingning might have been separated by ten feet.

Just when she took a deep breath and was about to cough again, the person who was leading her paused and stopped.

Xian Yu raised his head weakly, his eyes were foggy, and said timidly, "Yu'er is not tired anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, her forehead suddenly felt heavy, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Qingning's hand on her forehead.

Li Qingning sighed softly, "Why are you so weak?"

Xian Yu pouted, and shook his head greatly, and the two braids on the back of his head shook accordingly, "Yu'er is not physically weak."

"What is that?" Li Qingning asked her along the words.

"Yes, yes..." The child became anxious, unable to speak clearly, and stammered: "Yes, I haven't grown up yet."

This problem of stuttering, Xian Yu has learned it well.

Li Qingning rolled her eyes slightly and smiled.

……

Fang Xin waited for Li Qingning to come back in the yard, and when she saw the door open, she immediately went up to meet her.

The white-faced little girl outside the door didn't come in, and walked away on her own, her body wobbling, as if she was not walking steadily.

After closing the door, Fangxin looked at Li Qingning, only to see that her expression was indifferent, and she still looked neither sad nor happy, as if she kept aloof from everything.

She has been by Li Qingning's side for many years, so she can naturally understand Li Qingning's thoughts, but now she can't figure out why the eldest princess asked her to find someone who does not exist.

What he asked was not Feng Cease, nor his wives, but a girl who didn't even know her appearance.

This action doesn't seem to be trying to win over the wind to stop the fire, but it looks like someone who came here to visit the mountains and rivers.

"Your Highness, in two days' time, the boat on Weifeng Island will be docking." Fang Xin said with downcast eyes.

Li Qingning nodded, "Departure tomorrow."

"Yes." Fang Xin paused, "If your Highness likes the children from the Ceasefire Palace, you can take them to the island with you."

Li Qingning entered the room, sat in front of the bronze mirror and took off her hair ornament, "No need."

She looked in the mirror, put the hair accessories into the brocade box, "Remove the shadow over Feng Yuanmian, that person should not be her."

"Then..." Fang hesitated to speak.

"If you can't find that person, you don't need to look for it again." Li Qingning picked up the jade comb, raised her hand halfway, and signaled Fang Xin to comb her hair.

"Yes." Fang Xin replied, and took the comb with both hands.

Li Qingning closed her eyes, recalling what she had seen and heard in the past few days, she somehow felt that she seemed to have made a mistake.

At night, Feng Cease set up a banquet, but he didn't invite Li Qingning to the banquet, but sent a maid over there. The maid left empty-handed, and passed away empty-handed, only bringing back a word.

"The maid next to the eldest princess said that His Highness has already rested." The maid brought the words to Feng Cease Fire.

Feng stopped the fire and smiled lukewarmly, raised his head and took a gulp of wine down his throat, "It's a pity that these dishes are down, you go and let some ladies come over to watch the dance and listen to the music."

In the guest room in the other courtyard, Li Qingning really took a rest early.

Compared with the main peak, the other courtyard is a bit lonely and deserted.

Lying on the bed, Li Qingning suddenly felt a headache. When she raised her eyes, she saw that the window in the room was still open, and the mountain wind was blowing in from the window.

She likes the cool and fears the heat, so she asked Fangxin to open the window, but she didn't expect the wind in the mountains to get colder every day.

Faintly, a man in red was lying beside the bed, with long black hair winding down to the ground, looking at her with his chin propped up.

I can't see her face clearly, but she should be a peerless beauty.

The beauty in red did not observe etiquette at all, and her tone was arrogant and arrogant, "Princess, do you want to hug me, I am warm, if you don't believe me, touch it."

Li Qingning opened her eyes suddenly, only to see that the room was pitch black, and the bed curtain was slightly raised by the wind.

is a dream.

Chapter 7

This is not the first time that Li Qingning has dreamed of the woman in red.

She has a graceful figure, but she is arrogant and rude, and seems to be familiar with herself.

But after thinking about it, she has never seen such a person around her. If she had seen it before, she would not have forgotten it so completely.

Such a domineering yet magnificent woman, one must never forget it when she sees it.

After waking up, Li Qingning vaguely remembered that although the beauty in red in the dream had a strong tone and spoke lazily and slowly, she seemed to be short of breath, as if suffering from a chronic illness.

It would be great if I could see the face clearly, she thought.

The long wind is blowing, and there is no one to patronize in the dream.

In the early morning of the next day, Rong'er was busy waking Xian Yu up, but she saw Miss Liu half-closed her eyes under the quilt, turning over and going to sleep again.

She quickly moved to Xian Yu's ear, and said softly, "Little ancestor, don't sleep."

"This seat... cut, cut your mouth." The sleepy sixth girl said.

Xian Yu spoke vaguely, Rong'er didn't hear clearly, thought she was just muttering a few words, and said: "His Royal Highness is leaving early in the morning, if you don't go to see her off, the ladies will have to talk more."

Xian Yu opened his eyes, looked at her sideways in bewilderment, and thought that he was really sleepy, and for a moment he forgot that he had returned to his childhood.

She grinned and said in a very low voice: "It's not right if I don't go."
