Red Robe

Bewitched?

Thinking about it, no matter what she did in her previous life, she always saw people kill people, ghosts and ghosts, and others persuaded them with reasoning, but she didn't like reasoning. How could such an arrogant and rude person deserve the princess's "don't be afraid".

"Yu'er is not afraid." Xian Yu said in a muffled voice.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on the top of the child's hair. The fingers on her knees moved slightly, but she resisted stroking.

The black curtains on the sedan chair don't allow much light to pass through, and people sitting inside don't know what's going on outside, they can only hear the sound of conversation coming from afar.

Xian Yu listened intently, and suddenly heard Li Qingning say: "Want to go out and see?"

She nodded slightly, but remained silent.

"Then let's go." Li Qingning leaned slightly, raised her hand and lifted the heavy curtain.

Xian Yu sniffed, never thought that the eldest princess would lift the curtain for her?

The curtains are all lifted, so what's the difficulty in making a heart-to-heart?

It seems to be a bit difficult.

She rolled her eyes and said embarrassingly: "Then Yu'er went out to have a look, just, just for a while."

Li Qingning didn't say much, just nodded lightly.

Xian Yu didn't look closely when he came here, he only vaguely sensed the presence of many people when he was in the sedan chair, but now when he came out to take a look, there were indeed many people standing outside.

These children, tall or short, fat or thin, were mostly about the same age as her, no older than sixteen, no younger than five or six, and almost all of them were daughters of wealthy families.

The children with fairy tendons are different from ordinary people only in appearance, with their backs straight and their eyes full of agility.

Taking a glance, Xian Yu secretly sighed, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who is as weak and sickly, with congenital loss of immortal tendons, but who has opened the spiritual sea.

Seeing her getting out of the sedan chair, the fairy in white raised his eyebrows slightly, put his hands behind his back, and looked back at the short and sturdy children in front of him, "This seat and Master Boyun want to penetrate your spiritual energy into your bodies, Use this to check the shape of your immortal tendons, the breadth of your spiritual sea, and the stability of your soul, if you are timid, leave as soon as possible."

A group of children whispered, and many children looked at the fairy elder in white and the hand of Venerable Poyun beside him in fear, wondering how the spiritual energy would penetrate into their bodies.

Xian Yu stood watching from one side, among the crowd, saw Feng Yuanmian smiling eagerly, looking like he was sure of winning.

"Whoever comes first." Said the fairy elder in white.

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yuanmian squeezed out from the crowd with his hands up, "Immortal Elder, this junior is willing to give it a try!"

Compared with other children, Feng Yuanmian is a bit older, and he is also much taller than others, and his appearance is also outstanding, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xian Yu, who was standing outside the crowd, lowered his head slightly, but raised his eyes, as if smiling.

She remembered clearly that Feng Yuanmian followed him to the island, but unfortunately, among the people traveling with her, Feng Yuanmian's aptitude was not very good, but he was extremely conceited.

The immortal head in white nodded, and stretched out his hand towards Feng Yuanmian.

The people around dispersed a little, made way for a path, and watched curiously one by one.

Feng Feiyu, who was wearing a vermilion robe, was also staring straight at him, and Si'er Feng Bei was still standing beside him, wondering: "Third Brother, why did Sister Mian'er go, then we also..."

Before he finished speaking, he squeezed the wind jade on the back of his hand gently.

In Xian Yu's eyes, she saw Feng Feiyu turned her head, pretending to be polite, and said, "Don't worry."

Don't worry, you're clearly watching a play.

Xian Yu watched it too, it would be a pity not to watch it.

I saw the fairy in white go to Feng Yuanmian's eyebrows, and Feng Yuanmian suddenly closed his eyes.

The endless aura emanating from Xianchang's fingertips was like a gust of wind, blowing Feng Yuanmian's hair into the air.

"Middle-grade fairy tendons, middle-grade spirit sea, and middle-grade soul body, next one." The white-clothed immortal said with his hands back.

Feng Yuanmian froze all over, and the murmurs of mosquitoes and flies resounded from everywhere.

Mid-grade, that is, mediocre, none of the people present has no long-term tendons and no open spiritual seas. If they are just ordinary talents, they may not be able to be selected.

Hearing this, Feng Yuanmian's face was red, and he walked to the side unwillingly, his head was almost lowered to his chest, as if he didn't want to see anyone.

Seeing this, Xian Yu smiled even more, his heart is really mediocre, but his courage is commendable, in the eyes of the head of Weifeng Island, the qualifications of the selected disciples, in addition to Linghai and Xianjin, are also indistinguishable in temperament and courage Abandoned.

After someone took the lead, one after another, someone went to ask the fairy chief to check his qualifications.

Some people are happy and some people are sad. Among most children with ordinary talents, there are many who have the best spiritual tendons and the best spiritual sea.

Xian Yu remained unmoved, her small figure huddled in the crowd, and it was difficult to attract the attention of others when she was not speaking.

It's not just because she is still young, her facial features haven't fully opened yet, and she hasn't seen much of her beautiful appearance in the future. She deliberately hides her fairy tendons and conceals her spiritual sea, making herself seem to have fallen into a jade pool like stones.

As the day approached West Mountain, almost everyone had been tested, and those with good and bad qualifications took the initiative to stand separately.

"Who else is there?" Bai Yixian said lightly.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked around for unfamiliar faces in the crowd.

I saw one hand raised timidly, the wide red cuff slid down, revealing the fat white thin forearm.

As soon as Xian Yu raised his hand, Feng Yuanmian sneered, and said unabashedly: "It's just a waste that hasn't even opened the Linghai."

"What, you're running for the election even before the spirit sea is opened?" Someone asked softly.

"Isn't this asking for humiliation?" More humane.

Hearing this, the tremblingly raised hand retracted slightly, as if frightened.

But Xian Yu didn't really stop, and even walked towards the white-clothed fairy head with these surprised eyes.

She doesn't have any impression of this white-clothed monk, but this man's cultivation level is not low, and he is familiar with Bo Yun, so he still has some status on Weifeng Island.

After approaching, she turned her eyes, glanced at Li Qingning's motionless black sedan, looked away, smiled slightly, and raised her head obediently.

The immortal head in white raised his hand to touch her forehead, and the cool aura immediately poured into her body.

Although the aura is deep and oppressive, when it penetrates into the tendons, it is gentle and comfortable, like a gentle spring breeze.

Xian Yu was drowsy, and the Linghai, which had been dry for a long time, was like a trapped beast whose appetite had been aroused, and he couldn't help but want to devour the intruding spiritual energy.

No.

Xian Yu's bright peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of continuing to hide her tendons, she only revealed a corner of Linghai.

The fairy elder in white frowned slightly, as if he couldn't believe it, but he didn't remove the spiritual energy immediately, "How could it be like this..."

The children around were all listening attentively, for fear of missing something.

Xian Yu blinked, but did not resist the aura of nonsense.

"How can you be so pitiful." The fairy in white sighed.

Master Bo Yun slightly raised his eyebrows, "How?"

"Linghai is congenitally disadvantaged, and medicine and stones can't heal, so they should be inferior." The fairy elder in white said with great regret.

As soon as the word "inferior" was uttered, the crowd suddenly broke into a commotion.

This is the only low-level spiritual sea present, and the spiritual sea is the foundation of monks. If the foundation is lacking, it will be even more difficult to take another step to a higher place.

Xian Yu pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes were wet, as if covered with water vapor, even the tip of her nose was slightly red, she was really beautiful and pitiful.

"But," the white-clothed immortal leader paused, and said again: "The immortal tendons should be of the highest grade, the soul is stable, and the bones are clear."

Feng Yuanmian was surprised at first, as if she had been deceived, her eyes were red with anger, she thought that Xian Yu hadn't opened the spiritual sea, but she never thought that she did.

It's really miserable when it's open. She just laughed, but when she heard the second half of the words of the white-clothed fairy, her jaw almost dropped.

How can it be!

Even Master Boyun was stunned for a moment, he had never seen such aptitude, let alone heard of such uneven aptitude.

Xian Yu was not surprised, she was naturally very clear about her physical condition.

She has tried her best to repair the broken corner of Linghai, and she has been searching for a hundred years to find this repair method, but it will take some time to restore it to normal, as short as half a year, as long as several years.

The fairy elder in white looked down at her thoughtfully, and after a long time said: "This seat is Qi Ming Zhenjun of Weifeng Island, would you like to worship under my seat?"

Qi Ming!

This is Li Qingning's master.

Xian Yu glanced at Li Qingning's sedan chair, then looked at Qi Ming for a moment.

No wonder she didn't recognize this True Monarch. In her previous life, she heard that this one was struck by a thunderbolt shortly after Li Qingning left the island.

Chapter 11

11

For those cultivating immortals, thunder calamity is not a rare thing. To break through the realm, one must experience thunder calamity.

But the strange thing about Lei Qi who chopped Qi Ming is that it didn't come from the calamity, but someone used a formation to attract this thunder.

The spiritual formation beside the ferry is like a huge blue gauze curtain, the mortals outside can't see the things in the formation, nor can they hear the sound in the formation.

Just as Qi Ming's words fell, deliberately suppressed exclamations sounded from all around, and even Master Bo Yun didn't return to his senses for a while.

Bo Yun turned his head back in a daze, his mouth was still slightly open in disbelief, he saw Qi Ming's serious face, he didn't seem to be joking, and said: "You really want to take this... child as a disciple?"

Qi Ming raised his eyebrows, he was dressed in white clothes, but he was not as restrained and aloof as ordinary monks, and he stuck to the rules, "Why not."

Bo Yun sighed, "It's been a long time since you accepted an apprentice."

"If I don't accept such good qualifications, will I leave them to you?" Qi Ming laughed loudly.

"Do you really think this qualification is good?" Bo Yun took a breath, "Forget it, if you say yes, then it is good."

Qi Ming smiled without saying a word, just slightly lowered his head to look at the child in the vermilion cloth in front of him.

Xian Yu knew in her heart that the reason why Qi Ming wanted to accept her as his apprentice was probably because her spiritual sea and immortal tendons really aroused people's curiosity, but more, it was probably because of the face of the Dongzhou royal family.

When she first arrived, Li Qingning invited her over, which clearly meant to keep her.

With her qualifications, most people would not dare to take her under her seat easily. If she evaded her, she might not be able to find a place even if she went to the island.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Qi Ming joked, "Why, you kid, don't you think you can't see me?"

Xian Yu raised her eyes intently, her dark eyes were shining brightly, she bent down and bowed down as soon as she was short, her voice was crisp and crisp like a bird, "Master, I'm here to accept my disciple's bow."

Qi Ming laughed and helped her up, and took out a jade tablet from his arms. The word "comfort" was engraved on the jade tablet, and he said, "This jade tablet will be yours in the future."

"Thank you, Master." Xian Yu watched Qi Ming hold the jade tablet without looking sideways.

Qi Ming's finger slid across the corner of the jade card, fine pieces of jade shavings were blown up by the fingertips, and her name suddenly appeared on the jade card——

"Xianyu."

Many children looked at it enviously, just looking at the flat jade tablet with the size of a palm made them crazy.

Xian Yu took it, and put the flimsy jade tablet into his arms, like holding some treasure.

Thinking about it, she never had any master in her previous life, only a lonely soul she picked up from the road pointed her out a few times.

That wandering soul was attached to a rabbit, claiming to be a fallen power, but greedy for the mundane world, lingering on a rabbit and refusing to leave, accompanied her through several killings, and finally blocked the knife for her and injured the soul, Not even reincarnation.

Xian Yu frowned and thought to herself, she should have known that wandering soul several years later, and there is no rush to find it.

She turned her head slightly, and saw Feng Yuanmian pursed her lips tightly in the crowd, with a look of resentment and shame on her face. The resentment was probably because Qi Ming accepted her as his apprentice, and the shame must be because of the middle-grade fairy tendons and the middle-grade spirit sea. .

Looking at Feng Feiyu again, she stood weakly, her expression was indifferent, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, making it impossible to tell whether it was joy or ulterior motives.

After Qi Ming recognized his apprentice, the curtain of the dark sedan chair in the distance lifted, and Li Qingning's face appeared in the light and darkness in the sedan chair. She half-raised her hand to beckon, and the black sleeves hanging down to her elbows were like quenched green light. .

Xian Yu ran over, stood beside the sedan chair and said softly, "Your Highness?"

"His Royal Highness?" Li Qing looked out of the window condescendingly, her voice was a little muffled, as if she was questioning something, she repeated it word by word.

Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, and felt that the eldest princess's mind was hard to guess.

"Since Master has accepted you, why not change your mind." Li Qingning said again.

"Ah," Xian Yu said in a short breath in astonishment. He thought that Li Qingning was just seeing her in pity and helping her at will, but she didn't expect that after being accepted as a legitimate servant, she would really have a reputation.

"Don't call me yet." Li Qingning said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, Xian Yu noticed that Li Qingning even changed her address. In her previous life, no matter how close their relationship became, she never called herself "I".

Thinking about it this way, she couldn't help feeling sour in her heart. In her previous life, she always felt that the eldest princess was heartless and ruthless towards her, wearing a mask and covering her heart.

Li Qingning's eyes were dark, and even when she smiled, she always gave people a cold and careless feeling. She knew she was cold, but she looked at a child like this without restraint.

Inexplicably, she felt that the child was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

When she was looking at it without any trace, the girl outside the sedan chair shyly wrung her fingers, bit her lip and raised her head with red eyes, grinned and let out a soft voice from her throat, "Senior Sister."

Immediately, Li Qingning didn't think Xian Yu was weird anymore, she was clearly just a child who didn't understand anything, extremely innocent.

Xian Yu put on a bit of pretentiousness, and after calling out the word "senior sister", it was like licking honey in her mouth.

Sweet, sweeter than stealing fragrance.

It's a pity that she is too young now, even if she wants to steal her fragrance, she can't find any good excuses.

Li Qingning gave a deep "hmm" in the sedan chair, and agreed to Xian Yu's soft call.

Xian Yu smiled, and couldn't help but acted again, like a young girl, and after getting amused, she called "Senior Sister" several times.

Li Qingning responded in a low voice tirelessly, and after a few more responses, she turned to ask, "How does the milk tea taste?"

Xian Yu smiled, obviously Li Qingning wanted to gag her with milk tea.

On the side, Qi Ming and Bo Yun had already picked up all the children who went to the island, and the unselected ones stood beside them depressed, and many of them wiped their tears secretly.

Weifeng Island opens every five years, and many people can't wait that long. If they lose the election this time, they may not be selected the next time.

Xian Yu took a glance, and saw Feng Yuyu and Feng Beihuan among the 20 people, but Feng Yuanmian was not among them, presumably because she occupied a spot, and Feng Yuanmian, who was originally not very qualified, was squeezed out went.

It's not a pity, and it shouldn't be a pity, Mrs. Tan has never been bullied, she must have found another way out for Feng Yuanmian.

The state of Feng Cease Fire has been unable to improve for a long time, and soon, he will have to choose a new owner for the Cease Fire Palace. If Feng Yuanmian returns to the Cease Fire Palace, the position of Palace Master may fall on her shoulders.

That's great, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with the Ceasefire Palace.

"Yu'er, get on the sedan chair." Li Qingning said suddenly, bringing Xian Yu who was still in deep thought back to her senses.

Xian Yu was startled, and suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and the waves were beating and crackling. She followed the sound and saw a huge ship approaching from the dense fog, like a giant sea monster.

She quickly got into the sedan chair, and this time she was not polite, and sat directly beside Li Qingning, but she was deliberately coy after she sat down.

The sedan chair suddenly soared into the air, and the heavy curtain covering the window was lifted by the wind. Looking out through the gap, Qi Ming used his spiritual energy to lift the black sedan chair up and let the sedan chair land on the boat.

She turned her head quickly, thinking about how to pretend to be afraid and helpless, when she turned her head and saw Li Qingning reading the letter.

"What is Your Highness looking at?" Xian Yu was curious but restrained, resisting taking another glance.

"Heh," Li Qingning chuckled, and the thin paper on her fingertips was crumpled into a ball with a clatter, "The story is boring."

Xian Yu said "Oh" and nodded half-understanding. In his memory, Li Qingning never read any scripts, at most he read some ancient books left by his predecessors.

Li Qingning casually threw the ball of paper into the unburned lamp and leaned against the wick.

The sedan chair landed on the boat and swayed on the sea with the boat, making people drowsy.

Xian Yu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She noticed that Li Qingning's breathing was gradually calming down, and she didn't move her hands on her knees.

She raised her hand, and slowly stretched out the fingers that were tucked into the scarlet cuffs. With a slight movement of the fingertips, a delicate and imperceptible aura slowly entangled towards the ball of paper.

After the tissue paper was unfolded, she was surprised for a moment.

There was no signature on the letter, but she could recognize the handwriting, which was left by Li Qingning's personal maid, Fang Xin.

The letter said: "King Fengxian has sent people to the Ceasefire Palace."

Chapter 12

12

It is too early for King Fengxian to leave.

Xian Yu thought to himself, suddenly worried, the new emperor wanted to win over the Ceasefire Palace, King Fengxian had already had a different heart, and also wanted the Ceasefire Palace.

When King Fengxian went to the Ceasefire Palace in the previous life, she had already been the lord of the palace, and she was still entangled with the eldest princess.

King Fengxian knew well that the new emperor was afraid of him, so he chose to visit the Ceasefire Palace at a time when the world was talking about her and Li Qingning the most.That's all, but she had no heart and no lungs at that time, so she received this Feng Xian Wang carelessly.

In this way, the new emperor felt that Li Qingning and King Fengxian were of the same heart, and King Fengxian not only forced Li Qingning to take action, but also diverted most of the disaster to the east.

It's really too early for King Fengxian to go now, especially since Li Qingning has just left the Ceasefire Palace, isn't she rushing to let King Fengxian make a move.

Xian Yu thought and thought, Li Qing should not have opened the Linghai now, and if he did not open the Linghai, it means that he has no power to restrain the chicken. Since he has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he fight against a tall man? King Fengxian.

She suddenly regretted that Dukou had run for election, if she stayed in the Ceasefire Palace, she might be able to see what the hell King Fengxian was up to.

With Xian Yu's slender fingers together, the thin paper spread out in the lamp was crumpled again, only a rustling sound could be heard, but Li Qingning was not woken up.

After restoring the tissue paper in the lamp, she breathed out slowly, put her hands on the cushion under the seat, and slowly moved towards Li Qingning.

This sedan chair was still too big, if it was narrower, she would be able to be next to Li Qingning without even moving it.

The ship surged forward and crashed into the heavy mist, stirring up countless waves.

The sedan chair was parked on the boat and swayed non-stop with the boat, like duckweed on the water, adrift without support.

When the boat arrived at Weifeng Island, it was already midnight, the moon was sparse, and the island was brightly lit, like stars falling all over the mountain.

"Wake up." Li Qingning said softly.

Xian Yu didn't fall asleep, but closed his eyes and pretended to be in deep sleep. After hearing Li Qingning's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said sleepily, "Are you at Weifeng Island?"

Li Qingning lifted the curtain and got out of the sedan chair with a skirt that was almost the same as the night sky.

Xian Yu poked her head out for a look, jumped out of the sedan chair, and looked curiously at the island. She turned her head and looked around Li Qingning again, "Why didn't Fangxin follow His Highness?"

"Wrong call again." Li Qingning looked down at her, paused, and said slowly: "She has something important to do and hasn't landed on the island."

"Oh." Xian Yu responded, guessing that Fang Xin should be chasing King Feng Xian.Seeing that Li Qingning's eyes were deep and expressionless, but she seemed extremely displeased, she was stunned for a moment and quickly said sweetly: "Senior Sister."

Only then did Li Qingning look away in satisfaction.

Xian Yu couldn't help gnashing her teeth, when had she ever been so jealous of someone, her heart was full of sourness, as if she had drank ten taels of old vinegar in one gulp.

It was really miserable, she was sour on herself, never had she been so cared for by Li Qingning in her previous life.

He kept calling me Senior Sister, hey.

There are many mosquitoes on the island, especially when you get off the boat.Cultivators are naturally not afraid of insects and ants, the aura surrounding them is the best insect repellent, but many children whose spiritual seas are not yet full still attract mosquitoes.

Xian Yu looked around and saw a group of children, big and small, scratching their cheeks and backs. She didn't want to be too different, so she had to follow suit.

This scratching inevitably required lifting the cuffs and tugging at the lapel, half of the slender neck and thin back were exposed, looking smooth and white, like fine fat jade.

Li Qingning has been in a high position since she was a child, and her words and deeds are like a ruler, and there must be no deviation.Seeing Xian Yu scratching so hard and tossing herself into a disheveled look, she couldn't bear to look down on her, thinking of pulling off her lapel.

Before she reached out her hand, she saw a scar on Xianyu's shoulder. The scar was not very wide, but a thin one, but ferocious like a centipede, running straight down along the shoulder blade, and then covered by the clothes .

How could such a young child have such a scar.

When she was in the Ceasefire Palace, she saw that Xianyu was not welcomed in the palace. At first, she thought it was because she was not favored, and even the maidservants were mean and contemptuous of her. Now, it seems that it is not just as simple as being unwelcome .

Vaguely, Li Qingning felt that she seemed to have seen this scar somewhere, and only a shadow appeared in her mind, in a trance, with shadows of lamps and lanterns, as if in a dream.

Dream?What a dream again.

Since a few months ago, she has frequently dreamed of people and things she has never seen before, especially a woman in red who has never met, who appears in her dreams many times, and every time she appears, the dream is confusing.

The woman in red has scars on her shoulders, and the sixth girl in the Ceasefire Palace also has scars on her shoulders...

Li Qingning choked for a moment, and stopped her thoughts in time. She glanced at Chao Yu with a complicated expression, and the girl in front of her was also looking up at her when she lowered her eyes.

The little girl's eyes were clear and bright, and she looked cute and cute. She was nothing like... that dissolute and rude beauty in her dream. Besides, she must not have any unreasonable thoughts about the little girl.

Xian Yu pretended to grab his shoulder and neck again, and squinted at what others were doing quietly.

"When did you get this scar?" Li Qingning asked with a frown.

Xian Yu raised his head and said, "It should be years ago."

"Why did you fall?" Li Qingning asked the bottom line.

Xian Yu rolled her eyes, and said honestly: "The eldest sister asked Yu'er to help pick the butterfly flowers, but Yu'er fell into the thorn bushes, and got a long scar from the sharp thorns."

There is indeed a butterfly bush in the Palace of Ceasefire. Although the butterfly flower is beautiful, the thorns underneath are very poisonous.

She was already physically weak, and that time she fell into the flowers, which almost killed her.

Mrs. Tan asked Feng Yuanmian to apologize to her falsely, cooked a stewed chicken and delivered it to her door. Apart from that, she didn't even give her any medicine for the wound.

After hearing this, Li Qingning felt more and more pitiful for the child, and moved her lips, and said, "Don't worry, no one will treat you like this again in the future."

Xian Yu was slightly dazed, the hands on the shoulders drooped down, and even the crooked neckline was pulled neatly.

She didn't answer for a while, but suddenly felt that the eldest princess might not be really ruthless, maybe it was just that she had never given her that love in her previous life.

But so what if I don't give it, she came back to ask for it in person, she was as cold as Li Qingning, she was soft-tempered and coaxed her to call her "Senior Sister".

Thinking of this, Xian Yu raised the corner of his mouth and couldn't help laughing.

After landing on the island, several fairy elders came against the wind with their spirit beads in their hands. The spirit beads in their hands were as bright as lamps, brighter than the moon in the sky.

Several immortal elders bowed slightly to Li Qingning. Although they did not salute, they were extremely respectful.

Li Qingning nodded slightly, with a look of aloofness and reluctance to say much. When the other immortal elders were selecting apprentices, she turned her head to Xian Yu and said, "Follow me."

Xian Yu was stunned for a moment, then raised her leg to follow.

She thinks that although the island is not big, the mountains on the island are undulating, and there are many large and small courtyards on the mountain, comparable to the Ceasefire Palace hidden on the top of the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, you have to spend an hour or two. .

Xian Yu couldn't believe that the eldest princess, who was usually aloof, didn't even bring a servant to the island, and had to walk the mountain road herself?

After walking a few steps, the wind rustled in the distance, and a black shadow slowly descended in midair.

The four men in black clothes suddenly landed on the soft silk sedan chair inlaid with gold and embellished with jade. The sedan chair is a good sedan chair, and the four men in black clothes are also very good-looking.

Xian Yu took a deep breath, seeing Li Qingning get into the soft sedan chair, he hesitated for a while before following him.

The four men in black clothes carried a sedan chair into a small courtyard on the mountain. The courtyard was dazzlingly bright with spirit beads, small bridges, flowing water, jade tiles and green pillars.

Xian Yu was fascinated by the spirit beads and jades in the yard, she only had a few thumb-sized valuables in her pocket, and Li Qingning's residence contained one, two, three, four, five spirit beads... …too many to count.

She was used to being extravagant in her previous life, but now that she was back in poverty, she felt more and more that she shouldn't leave the Ceasefire Palace in a hurry. Now that there is no Ceasefire Palace by her side, she seems unworthy of this golden princess.

Maybe it was because her gaze on gold, silver and jade was so intense that Li Qingning couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at Your Highness." Xian Yu answered casually.

This opening almost bit her tongue. A long time ago, she was leaning against Li Qingning in a frivolous posture. Outside the hall was a line of soldiers searching for fire, but she was indifferent and just looked at Li Qingning intently.

Li Qingning asked her coldly: "What are you looking at?"

She also answered like this at that time: "Look at Your Highness."

Xian Yu took a deep breath, and the memories of the past floated in her mind. She didn't think there was anything wrong at that time, but now that she spoke, she felt that what she said was too abrupt.

It was a bit inappropriate for a little girl to say such a thing.

Li Qingning, who was standing not far away, was stunned for a moment, her long and narrow phoenix pupils were half-closed, only to return to normal in a moment.

Li Qingning's black cuffs swayed slightly, and the bright green dark lines flickered slightly, like floating light flowing past.

She approached Xian Yu slowly, raised her jade hand halfway, and her slender fingers and flexible palm immediately covered Xian Yu's face.

The hands are plain white, except for the vermilion of Koudan on the nails like blood.

Chapter 13

13

The bones are normal, there is no trace of bone shrinkage, and the face is delicate and flexible, no different from a child of a few years old.

Li Qingning carefully looked at Xian Yu's face, the hand covering that cheek slipped down, and pinched Xian Yu's sharp chin with two fingers.

She looked carefully, with her thin lips parted slightly, exhaling like blue.

I saw that the child's eyes were not trembling, and he didn't seem to be hiding something.

Her flexible and round fingertips moved up along Xian Yu's chin, stroked across Xian Yu's temples lightly, and finally pressed on the other's forehead.

It's really not disguise, there is no human/skin/mask/tool ​​on the face.

"Dian..." Xian Yu's voice fell, and he quickly changed his words: "Senior Sister?"

Li Qingning withdrew her hand, and slowly rubbed the two fingers on the opponent's chin just now, she said lightly: "It's grass, blown by the wind."

Xian Yu watched helplessly as Li Qingning put her hands behind her back, thinking to herself, she touched my face!

How could she touch my face!

She really likes such innocent and innocent children!

Thinking about it this way, Xian Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. The eldest princess treats her as a junior sister, but she has unreasonable thoughts about the eldest princess.

I'm sorry for Weifeng Island, I'm sorry for Qi Ming who took her as his apprentice, and I'm sorry for Li Qingning who took her as his junior sister.

"What are you thinking?" Li Qingning couldn't help asking when she saw her eyeballs rolling back and forth.

Immediately, Xian Yu glanced outside the gate of the courtyard, and saw the four men standing apart on both sides, guarding the door with solemn expressions. She thought for a while and asked, "Aren't the four big brothers going to stand all night?"

Li Qingning smiled very lightly, "This is what they are supposed to do."

Xian Yu let out an "oh", and obediently walked towards Li Qingning along the low stone arch bridge over the pool.

Li Qingning lowered her head to look at her, somehow suddenly thought of the hideous scar on her shoulder, a wonderful but unbelievable thought came to her mind, she only frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Do you know what they are? people?"

Xian Yu pursed her lips, puffed her cheeks slightly, and said cautiously, "The gatekeeper?"

Li Qingning smiled, really like the nocturnal flowers in the capital, but Chou Li was alienated and desolate, "No, they are the face bestowed to me by the Holy Majesty today."

what?

Xian Yu froze for a moment, then became so angry that he almost vomited blood.

face?

Or is it the noodles sent by the new emperor?

She wished she could rush to the capital and kill the rampant new emperor with a single sword.

In the previous life, Li Qingning had a group of face heads around her, which were also gifts from others, but not at this time. At that time, even if there were a group of face heads around Li Qingning, everyone in the world knew that the eldest princess was not masculine.

A woman from an ordinary family must have had children at the age of the eldest princess, but the eldest princess not only has no children, nor has she ever been close to any man.

I heard that envoys from several countries had visited and mentioned the matter of marriage many times, but the prince of Dongzhou was not of the right age, and the princess was still young, and His Royal Highness the eldest princess had no such intentions, so the marriage was finally settled.

Many folks speculated that the eldest princess might have a hidden disease, if not for the hidden disease, how could this be the case.

Who is not curious about the secrets of the royal family? Even the storytellers in restaurants and teahouses will always make up a tragic story for the eldest princess. Flaws, but still unattainable.

As a result, many senior officials in the court were furious, offering advice and suggestions one by one, saying earnestly: "Your Majesty, this matter has insulted the reputation of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and the Emperor's prestige."

After careful consideration, the new emperor gave Li Qingning eighteen face heads and eighteen stunning women with a wave of his hand.

There are men and women, and the eldest princess' bedroom is very lively for a while.

Thinking of this, Xian Yu slowly took a breath, rolled his eyes up, and observed Li Qingning's expression without any trace.

Even though she and Li Qingning were teachers and sisters in name, she still couldn't figure out what Li Qingning was thinking. After all, he was naturally indifferent and alienated, and nothing could get into her heart.

In this way, why did Li Qingning tell her this? Could it be that she wanted to say something interesting so that a young girl like her could relax her guard and get closer to her senior sister?

Xian Yu secretly thought, Li Qingning really likes innocent and cute children.

She was looking at Li Qingning, and Li Qingning was also trying to figure out what was going on in her mind.

"Although they are the faces of the palace, they have never been close to the palace. They are only used as servants." Li Qingning squinted at her, then turned and pushed open the carved wooden door, and took a night pearl out of the brocade box It came out and put it into the glazed lamp.

In an instant, the whole room suddenly lit up, as if surrounded by a river of stars, shining brightly.

"In the future on the island, you will live with me, eat, and walk with me." Li Qingning pulled her long black hair to one shoulder, and took off her black coat alone.

Xian Yu couldn't imagine who Li Qingning said this to in her previous life, and she didn't know who else Qi Ming had taken as his apprentice at that time.

I don't know if Li Qingning was like this at that time, inviting that person into the house, living with him, eating and traveling together.

Thinking about it this way, she wished that she could be more up-to-date in her previous life, so that she wouldn't have to follow the advice of some scheming people in the Ceasefire Palace, and would be able to see Li Qingning early.

But it's okay now, didn't Li Qingning open her mouth and recruit her personally?

These words were like putting a large pot of tempting nectar in front of her, it was sweet and delicious, and she couldn't refuse it.

"But, but, this is inappropriate." Xian Yu lowered his head and said stutteringly.

"Then how is it suitable?" Li Qingning looked down at her.

Xian Yu rubbed her icy little hands, and looked pitifully when she raised her eyes, "Why don't Yu'er go to sleep in a side room."

After speaking, she raised her hand and pointed to a narrow room not far away.

The door of the narrow room is simple and thin, and it is not far from the firewood room. It looks like it is used for storage.

"That's fine." Li Qingning didn't force her, but followed her words and agreed.

Xian Yu: ...

It's really a crime, she shouldn't have said that, she could still ask Li Qingning tentatively, so she tentatively refused.

The side room has been cleaned up long ago, the bed is not very soft, but
