In Xu Wang's palace, Huo Shiyun was changing Xu Nian's clothes for an evening outing, and he didn't know that someone was talking about her in an inn by the Yan River in the capital.

In the inn, as soon as the young boy in the white and blue straight clothes finished his questioning, he saw his junior uncle Qi Siyuan's face changed, and his eyes were a little complicated.

The Taoist priest with horned horns next to the young boy was named Wei Zhengze. Seeing Qi Siyuan's "weird" expression, he thought something had happened, and hurriedly asked, "Did you see it or not?"

Qi Siyuan looked far away: "Forget it, see you."

Sitting upright, with a gentle face, the young man with a dignified appearance couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking what kind of answer is this?What is...is it?

"I slipped into the back garden of Prince Xu's Palace after noon, and saw a family of three."

Qi Siyuan didn't mean to tease Wei Zhengze and his nephew's appetite, and explained: "The three men in that family brought a little boy, and the little boy sat on his shoulders, and the woman followed behind and made faces at the child. A gust of wind blew by, making a rustling sound, the flowers and leaves of the Hanxiang trees with pink and white fine clusters of flowers on both sides were blown by the wind."

Qi Siyuan stopped talking at this point, and Wei Zheng didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth to point out the identities of these three people: "The man is Xu Wang Xu Zhao, the woman is Huo Shiyun, and the child is Huo Shiyun's son born to Xu Zhaowang. wrong?"

Qi Siyuan nodded: "It's the three of them."

Wei Zhengze continued: "Since you saw it, why didn't you show up and explain why you came, can Huo Shiyun still eat you?"

Wei Zhengze said this, and the young boy in Tsing Yi saw Qi Siyuan looking at him and Wei Shibo with a bit of toothache, and replied with a look that didn't make sense to you: "I said, the family of three is harmonious, what should I say when I jump out? Said to hand over your son to me, and I want to bring back Sanqingzong to let him cultivate immortality?"

After a pause, Qi Siyuan seemed to think of the consequences of saying this, and said sadly: "I will definitely be beaten out."

Wei Zhengze looked at Qi Siyuan's sloppy demeanor and the magic banner behind him, and silently rolled his eyes, wondering who wouldn't hit you out!

The young boy in Tsing Yi spoke up, his voice was still a little immature, but his tone was like an adult, and he asked calmly: "A mortal's life span is only a hundred years, and even an emperor in the world, compared with the world, his life span of less than a hundred years is like an ant. Who in this mortal world is unwilling or unhappy that their children have the opportunity to cultivate immortality?"

Wei Zhengze glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi and remained silent.

Qi Siyuan, however, took a closer look at his little nephew, seeing the serious and unfaltering question on his face, he took a sip of the tea that was barely left, and then asked back: "Chu Heng, since cultivating immortals is so good, why does Huo Shiyun abandon her cultivation and is willing to live and die with Xu Zhao like ordinary people?"

The young man in Tsing Yi named Chu Heng thought to himself, since Huo Shiyun's cultivation level is not enough, one of the seven emotions and six desires must be too obsessed, so his heart is dirty and greedy for the world.

Thinking more simply, Chu Heng opened his mouth, wanting to return to the two words, silly chant, but realized that Huo Shiyun was a generation older than him, so he shut his mouth. In the end, his face was still gentle, and he just shook his head and replied: " I don't know, I can't figure it out."

Besides stupidity, what else could be the reason?

Qi Siyuan suddenly smiled, this smile was so cheap, Wei Zhengze felt his heart skip a beat, and just about to reprimand Qi Siyuan, he saw Qi Siyuan winking at Chu Heng so unscrupulously, he looked like a weasel.

He opened his mouth, and pointed to Chu Heng meaningfully: "You are still young, when you know the matter between men and women, it means that you don't even want to cultivate immortals."

Chu Heng blinked, his face full of innocence, as if he didn't understand, Wei Zhengze jumped into a rage, a whisk appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he swung it at Qi Siyuan: "Is there anyone like you who is an uncle? See if I won't help you!" Your sect master brother killed you!"

Qi Siyuan moved faster, he had already stood up, his figure was like a leaf blowing in the wind in three or two steps, Wei Zhengze's whisk flew over, and Qi Siyuan had already floated a few feet away with the cloth banner, and his mouth was still Shouted meanly: "Daoist friend, it seems that your heart is not pure. I just said about the relationship between men and women as 'a fair lady, a gentleman is good'. Where are you thinking?"

Chu Heng sat still in his original position, poured himself a cup of tea slowly, watched the small boats on the Yanhe River pass by outside the window, sipped the tea, thought of Qi Siyuan saying "the child sat on his shoulder, and the woman followed behind." Making faces at the child, a gust of wind blew by on the road, and the sound was the flowers and leaves of the fragrant trees with pink and white fine clusters of flowers on both sides being blown by the wind."

Thinking of the sentence "You are still young, when you know about the relationship between the man and the woman, you will not even be willing to cultivate immortality" and your eyes slowly turned cold.

The daytime passed by in the blink of an eye, and it was twilight again. Xu Nian was in the bedroom, wearing a close-fitting white shirt, and Huo Shiyun was holding out a snow-colored straight coat for him to wear.

After all, Xu Nianxin was a 14-year-old boy, so she was a little embarrassed, but Huo Shiyun didn't care about it, she was in a good mood, humming a Yuefu folk song: "The white rabbit, running around..."

Huo Shiyun fastened her son's belt, thought for a while and took off the half jade ring that had been hanging around her neck, and hung it around Xu Nian's neck.

"Clothing is not as good as new, and people are not as good as old."

Huo Shiyun muttered the last sentence, then stood up straight, looked at Xu Nian who had put on new clothes, and grinned, Xu Nian looked down and saw the half jade ring tied with a red thread, his face changed.

Huo Shiyun didn't see it, she took Xu Nian's hand, let her son sit in front of the silver mirror, stretched out her hand to loosen his hair, picked a silver-gray hairband embroidered with dark patterns that was close to the color of snow, and tied Xu Nian's hair again.

"This half jade ring was handed down from generation to generation by Niangzu. It is a high-quality warm jade. It is said that it can also ward off evil spirits. You should take it with you so that you don't lose it."

Huo Shiyun reminded her, her hands kept moving, and she tied the hair tie lightly, she suddenly laughed again, Xu Nian was amused to see Huo Shiyun smiling through the mirror.

"A boy from the Xu country is crowned at the age of 20, which is considered an official adult." Huo Shiyun pursed her lips happily, as if thinking of his handsome 20-year-old son, "Generally, the elders of the family hold the crown ceremony, but our family has a special status , when the time comes, your father will definitely crown you. As for me, I will wait for your father to finish crowning you, and then hold your hand with your father. Your daughter-in-law's hand."

Xu Nian was a little speechless. Seeing himself in the mirror with a short figure, he wondered how Huo Shiyun thought of going so far.

But Huo Shiyun probably thought too happily, her voice was filled with unstoppable joy as if it was stolen, as if it was just her "daydreaming" imaginary future that was already in front of her.

As Xu Nian listened, she turned around and buried herself in Huo Shiyun's arms. Huo Shiyun shut her mouth immediately, and said flattered, "What's the matter with you, baby?"

Shouting, already hugging her precious son happily, Xu Nian said softly, "I don't want a daughter-in-law, I just want parents. Let's leave Xu Wanggong's family of three and travel around the world, okay?"

Huo Shiyun rubbed him, and only took Xu Nian's words as childish words, just jokingly said: "You only need parents when you are young, and when you grow up and have a wife, you will definitely only need a wife. You don't need parents."

Xu Nian didn't intend to "want parents or daughter-in-law", so he sighed inwardly and put out his hand to stuff the half jade ring into his neckline. This half jade ring is also the key to the plot, so he has to keep it well.

In the evening, the night had completely fallen, and Huo Shiyun changed into a homely half-arm skirt, which was not as gorgeous and orthodox as the usual palace attire.

Xu country is located in the north, and the night in late spring was still chilly, so she asked the maid to bring a small cloak specially made for Xu Nian, and put it on him without allowing Nian to refuse.

For the sake of beauty, the neckline of this little cloak was trimmed with ermine fur. Xu Nian only thought it was too hot, but Huo Shiyun couldn't explain it and tied the collar on him.

After finishing the clothes for the trip, it has been a long time since Xu Zhao came over as promised. Huo Shiyun and the others were impatient and sent someone to urge him several times, and finally the attendant came over and replied softly: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Chu and the envoy The minister is in the front hall, His Majesty said that he will not be able to get away tonight, let the empress and the little Highness not wait for him, just go to see the lanterns, the people along the way have been arranged, there will be no danger."

Xu Nian listened and wondered what the third prince of Chu State was doing here. Huo Shiyun muttered a few words unhappy, picked up Xu Nian, and walked out of the palace. It seemed that he was not going to wait for Xu Zhao. .

Xu Nian lay on Huo Shiyun's shoulders. This night outing followed two guards and his own maid, Zhao Wu, who should be masters.

The three of them looked calm, and they followed Huo Shiyun a foot away. They all walked to the gate of the palace. Huo Shiyun suddenly stopped, and Xu Nian was put back on the ground by her.

Xu Nian was puzzled, and raised her eyes to look at Huo Shiyun, but saw Huo Shiyun turned around and looked inside Xu Wang's palace. After a few breaths, she turned around, hesitated, and said: "You three follow Your Highness, remember that everything must be done beforehand. Your Highness's safety is the top priority."

Xu Nian was puzzled, Huo Shiyun looked at him again, her tone was gentle with a hint of memory: "The lanterns at Shili Yanhe are about to start, and I met you on the night when I was young when I put the lanterns at Shiliyan River." It's your father. You have grown so big that you haven't even been out of the Xu Palace a few times because of your health, so let's have a good time tonight, I think of something and I want to go back, and I will go to you later, okay?"

Xu Nian was puzzled and wanted to ask what was going on, but saw that Huo Shiyun had stepped into the palace. In this world without electric lights, it was extremely dark at night. Even in Xu Wang's palace, after Huo Shiyun walked a few steps, only the palace was left. On the middle and small paths, a faint shadow of her was reflected in the candlelight of palace lanterns.
