Princess of Han

It's night, the moon hangs high.

In the faint yellow light reflected by the candle, Luo Yi could not help but ask curiously while gently combing the palace lord's silky long hair.

"Palace Master, who are those people following us?"

Xu Peiyao looked at the figure in the bronze mirror without looking back.

Seeing the palace lord's pensive face, Luo Yi began to guess.

"Could it be that other forces in the Jianghu discovered the relationship between Vulture Palace and us, so they came to inquire? But no, every time we contact Vulture Palace, we are very careful, and even Jiutian Jiubu didn't let them send people over , who would have thought that in a small village, the Palace Master would be here?"

Sleeve came in with hot water and glared at my sister.

Xu Peiyao stood up, her knee-length hair falling vertically.

"Xiaoyi, you send someone to investigate the person who followed us today. Be careful, don't startle the enemy. If it is really a spy from another force, wait and see what happens, and find out their purpose before you talk about it. Don't mess yourself up." Ling Ling The Eagle Palace has been developing rapidly in the past few years, so it is not surprising that it will attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives.The strange thing is, who can get to Yongfeng Township through such a little clue?

It seems that I have been a little slack in the past few years.

"Yes, Palace Master."

"Okay, go to sleep, I have to get up early and go down the mountain tomorrow." Turning around, the girl was wearing a solid-color long dress and walked towards the embroidery bed.

Xiuyi bowed and resigned, and went to do what the Palace Master asked.As for Luo Yi, she should keep watch today.

In the cold and quiet night, there was a strange surge in the invisible at this moment.

※※※※※

The next day.

Saying goodbye to her godfather, Xu Peiyao and her elder brother Xu Da went down the mountain to go home together.At the fork at the bottom of the mountain, a tall and straight young man stood there quietly.

As the distance gradually approached, Peiyao's footsteps gradually stopped.

"Why are you here?" Noticing the dew on Chen Sangong's temples, the girl's heart moved.

This man won't be waiting here before dawn, right?

"Sister Peiyao," the man greeted her with gentle brows, "I don't know when you will go down the mountain, I'm afraid you might miss it, so..."

What a fool!

Xu Peiyao suddenly didn't know what to say.She had already said what should be said, but this man's persistence gave her a headache.

Seeing his sister's silence, Xu Da stepped forward and stood in front of her.

"Mr. Chen, please let me go. It's time for us to go home."

"Xu Da..." Glancing at Xu Da in front of him, Chen Youliang looked past him to the cool and elegant girl behind him.

"Sister Peiyao, I happen to be going back too, so I'll take you back."

"Mr. Chen, don't bother you. With me here, my younger sister will naturally be escorted by my elder brother. Since you want to go home, you should go back early, so as not to worry at home."

When mentioning home, Chen Youliang's eyes suddenly became dark.But right away, he realized that sister Pei Yao was still here, and immediately put away the gloomy look on his brows, and smiled in a gentle and personable manner.

"No trouble. Anyway, we're going along the way, how about going together?"

Xu Da was out of breath.However, he still couldn't drive Chen Youliang away.For Chen Youliang, his words have no weight.Besides, this road is not opened by his family. If others want to go, can he stop it?

In this way, they walked in front, and Chen Youliang took a step back. About half an hour later, the familiar house of the Xu family slowly and clearly appeared in sight.

Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief.

Got home.

"Sister, we are here, mother must have been waiting."

With that said, Xu Da quickly walked a few steps to knock on the door.Behind him, Chen Youliang looked at the gate of Xu's house, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

It would be nice if this road had no end.

"Chen Youliang, go back, I'm home." After walking a few steps, Xu Peiyao suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and said to the man behind her.

"Sister Pei Yao, wait a minute!"

"what's up?"

The man strode over, and suddenly stuffed something into her hand: "Sister Peiyao, this is a gift from me. It may be difficult to see you recently, so I want to hand it to you, so... ..."

"You..." Xu Peiyao raised her head and looked at the man who was smiling softly in front of her.

"Sister Peiyao, go in quickly." Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed many young men peeping at his sister Peiyao. Chen Youliang's eyes turned cold, and those people shivered and lowered their heads.

At this moment, the door of the Xu family opened suddenly, and a gentle woman came out hurriedly.

"Pei Yao, you're back."

"mother!"

"Quick, come in quickly, let mother take a good look at our Pei Yao."

"Mom, I'm back." Ren Niang pulled her to look up and down, Xu Peiyao smiled slightly, and there was a rush of heat in her heart.

In her previous life, both her parents and her sister died, and they were displaced, almost unable to survive.Fortunately, both she and her elder sister had excellent aptitudes, and they were brought back to Tianshan by Master, and then gradually recovered, but in their hearts, both she and elder sister longed for their loved ones very much.That's why she cares so much about her sister's feelings.

Just because they are the only people in the world who are connected by blood.

In this life, she would like to thank God for giving her a warm family, with parents and elder brothers who love and cherish her very much, so that she will have no regrets in her previous life.

Looking at the woman who was no longer young in front of her, Xu Peiyao secretly swore in her heart.

Even if it is the end of the Yuan Dynasty, uprisings will continue in various places in a few years. Her family, she will do everything she can to keep them safe and sound.

"Look at me, I'm so happy that I'm confused, Peiyao, come in, come in." While pulling her daughter to the door, Xu's mother shouted to the inside.

"His father, come out and see who is back. His father, his father—"

"Come here, who's back? Is it Pei Yao?" Father Xu was weaving bamboo baskets at the back, when he heard his wife's unconcealable happy voice, he quickly put down the things in his hand and patted his body with both hands ,go out.

"Dad, I'm back."

"Pei Yao!" Seeing the beautiful girl standing there smiling and watching him in the yard, Father Xu also got excited and hurried over.

"Peyao, you're back. How are you doing on the mountain? Several times I wanted to visit you at Huangjue Temple, but your mother refused."

"What are you talking about, when will I stop?" Xu's mother gave her husband a reproachful look, and when she turned her head to look at her daughter, her expression was loving and gentle.

"Don't listen to your father and talk bad about me. Come on, Peiyao, mother will take you back to the house. You must be tired after walking back. It's such a long journey, and you didn't notify us in advance. If you knew mother, you would ask your elder brother and younger brother to borrow money." A car will pick you up."

"I'm not tired. Mom, haven't I come back now? There's my second brother here, so why bother to let the eldest brother go to work again. The daily labor of the eldest brother is already hard enough, and the second brother and I have not been at home for half a year, so we can't help you." What's the matter." I wanted my parents not to work hard on farming, but they are all honest farmers, so asking them to leave the fields alone is really killing them.

Xu Peiyao knew that people in this period valued land, so she didn't mention it.

Xu's mother was very pleased: "Our Pei Yao has really grown up, mother is so happy."

The mother and daughter were talking in front, and Xu Da, who was following behind at some point, suddenly felt guilty in his heart.

He is older than Pei Yao, but he doesn't see things as comprehensively as Pei Yao.

Peiyao knew that she felt sorry for her elder brother, but she took it for granted that she lived on the mountain, without any shame.

Most of the farm work in the family is done by the father and elder brother. Sometimes even the youngest brother A Fu will go to the field to help, but what about me?

What was he doing at that time?

He was holding a book, reading it with gusto.Could it be that he really thought that he became a scholar and would be able to be an official in the future?

He spends a lot of time practicing martial arts, and he is often negligent about family affairs.Because he can read and write, not only his parents, but even his elder brother are proud of him, and try not to disturb his reading.Gradually, he developed a naive and ignorant temperament.

It's really pedantic to read.

Xu Da slapped his head, introspected for a while, and decided to watch and listen more in the future, and think more about things.

"Sister, you are back. I miss you so much." A handsome boy of eleven or twelve years old ran out from the courtyard gate.Seeing the beautiful girl standing with his mother, the young boy's whole face lit up, and he ran over quickly, laughing until his eyes rolled.

"Ah Fu!" Xu Peiyao also laughed.

Not seeing each other for half a year, her youngest brother has grown a lot taller, and now he is about the same size as her.

Grow so fast!

"My sister didn't bring Ah Fu to the mountain, but only my second brother. It's not fair. Ah Fu is very sad."

Seeing Ah Fu's accusing expression, Xu Peiyao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'll take you with me next time, okay?"

"It's agreed, take me with you next time. Sister, you can't count your words. Come on, pull the hook!"

"Stinky boy, how old are you, and you still pull hooks. I don't think your brother and sister are laughing at you." Mother Xu looked at her youngest son dumbfounded, and couldn't help pointing his forehead with her finger.

"Mother~~~~" looked up, and sure enough, he saw his sister and second brother looking at him funny, Ah Fu felt a little embarrassed.

"Okay, boy, don't act like a baby. Here, I'll give you the money. I'll go to the village head butcher and buy two catties of meat. Your brother and sister are back. Let's cook a delicious meal at noon." Mother Xu took He took out the handkerchief he had carefully wrapped up, counted a dozen money from it, and handed it to his youngest son.

"Go back quickly."

"Okay, I'll go right away and be back soon." A Fu smiled brightly at his sister, and hurried out.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a calm figure standing outside the door like a door god, and he was startled.

"Brother Chen San?"

"Ah Fu, why did it take you so long to come back?" Mother Xu was busy in the kitchen, and Xu Peiyao also helped her, talking with her mother from time to time.Sleeve and Luo Yi lit a fire and picked vegetables, the four of them moved swiftly together.At this time, Xu's mother saw the youngest son who came back with a big bag in his hand, and hurriedly put down what she was doing and walked over.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Why so many things? I only gave you the money to buy meat, these, these, and these, what's in the bag?"

Xu Peiyao washed her hands beside her and walked over.

"Ah Fu, what did you buy?" She randomly took a paper bag and untied the rope on it.

"Mother, sister, I brought back some bones. Uncle Wang gave them to me when I bought the meat. It doesn't cost money. We will make soup later. I like the bone soup made by my sister the most. It is very delicious."

Xu Peiyao smiled.

"We'll make the soup later!"

"Okay, sister is the best."

Mother Xu was also laughing, but when she opened another lighter oil-paper package, Mother Xu's face sank.

"Ah Fu, how did this come about?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Ah Fu shrank his neck and flattered him in a soft voice: "Mother, these are sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, they are delicious. Mother, can you try them and see if they are delicious?"

"Let me ask you, how did these cakes come from?" Mother Xu's voice was already severe.Xu Peiyao saw her younger brother looking pitifully at her begging for help, glared at him, and then stepped forward to help her mother's arm.

"Mother, let Ah Fu talk about it, but if Ah Fu likes some cakes, I will cook them for Ah Fu later on."

"Sister~~~~" The young boy was suddenly moved to tears.

Since childhood, the person he admired the most was neither his honest father, nor his taciturn elder brother, nor his gentle and handsome second brother, but taught him how to write, told him many pleasant and philosophical stories, and treated him more severely. His beautiful, intelligent, and cold older sister who practiced martial arts.

In the boy's little heart, his sister seems to know everything, omnipotent, and nothing can trouble her.

"It's not okay for your sister to intercede. How Mother usually taught you, you can't take other people's things."

"But Brother Chen San said he doesn't like sweets, so it's a pity to throw them away."

Mother Xu nodded her youngest son's forehead, hating iron for being weak: "My silly son, you believe what others say? If Mr. Chen San doesn't like it, why would he buy it?"

Ah Fu muttered in a low voice: "I'm usually greedy for candied haws. During the Chinese New Year, I finally got the money to buy a bunch. I only licked a few mouthfuls, but I didn't think it tasted good. It's a pity to throw it away. Why can't Brother Chen buy it?" It doesn't taste good after a few bites." Of course, he didn't dare to say this to his mother confidently.

Xu Peiyao heard the younger brother's words clearly, and couldn't help but think of Ah Fu when he was a child, and suddenly laughed.

"Mother, it's almost noon, big brother and the others should be back, let's move faster."

Mother Xu subconsciously glanced at the sky outside.

"Hey, it's already this hour, let's hurry up, take out the meat and wash it." Not caring about teaching the younger son, Mother Xu went in with the meat.

Seeing Mother go into the kitchen, Ah Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you sister, if I didn't have you today, I don't know how long my mother will train me."

"You know the lesson, don't get too close to Chen Youliang next time."

"Sister, Brother Chen San has been waiting for you for so many years, and he has never married a wife. Are you not moved at all?"

The girl looked startled.

Ah Fu secretly glanced at his sister, pretending to speak naturally.

"Sister, actually, I think Brother Chen San is pretty good. At least, I have always noticed how kind he is to you. It feels much better than the monk that the second brother befriended. The monk and the monk have already become monks. I became a monk, and after reciting so many scriptures every day, do you still think about marrying a wife? Isn’t that disrespectful to the Buddha?”

Xu Peiyao came back to her senses and rubbed his head: "Don't worry about adults' affairs, children."

"Sister, I'm not young anymore, I'm already a formidable man, don't always look at me in the past." Tilting his head, the little boy was somewhat unwilling.

Xu Peiyao couldn't help laughing.

"I know, I know, our Ah Fu is already a little man, okay. Go quickly, go to the gate to see if the eldest brother and the others are back, we can have dinner right away."

"Okay then, I'll go and have a look." After speaking, the young boy ran out nimbly and went to the gate to have a look.

Standing by the kitchen, Xu Peiyao watched her younger brother leave, shook her head with a smile, turned around and went inside to help her mother.

About half an hour later, the food and wine were served on the table, and my father and elder brother all came back. The whole family sat around the table with smiles on their faces.

After an absence of more than half a year, their family finally had a lively reunion dinner.

※※※※※

When Peiyao came home, Mother Xu's heart sank.

In the past few years, the family situation has been getting better and better, and the money has become richer. The old house in the family was renovated the year before last, making it brighter.

It may be that the Xu family's ancestral grave is emitting green smoke. Many villagers in the village can't tell whether they are envious or jealous when they see the Xu family's life is becoming more and more prosperous.

It used to be that people with older sons in their twenties couldn't even marry a wife, but now the Xu couple can't even hug their fat grandson.Immediately, when the youngest daughter of the Xu family Jiji, the matchmaker who came to the door has not yet broken through the threshold of his house.

The third son of the Chen family has been thinking about the youngest daughter of the Xu family for many years, and he hasn't calmed down until now.Now, the third son of Chen is also weak, and his eyes have already set his sights on Xu's daughter.After waiting for so many years, Xu's daughter is now as beautiful as a flower, and she is really lucky to marry Mr. Chen San.

Xu's mother is really lucky. It goes without saying that she gave birth to such a vigorous daughter.

Just when the fellow villagers envied the Xu family, Xu's mother was not as happy as the outside said.

She was happy that her daughter was back, but the matter of choosing her husband's family for her daughter made Xu's mother very worried.

In the past few years, she wanted to take a good look at which boys from her hometown were good, so she could pay attention to them, but after picking and picking, she was not very satisfied in the end.

Her own daughter is naturally good in every way, but she is afraid of being wronged by marrying into her husband's family.She has already learned the words of those women in the same village. She is afraid that Peyaosi is gentle and dignified like a young lady. She is not a match for those village women. , and she has to be busy with farm work outside, which has worn her good daughter into a bad shape.

Thinking about it this way, the Chen family still has a lot of advantages.At least, her Peiyao is protected by the third son of the Chen family, no one dares to bully her.

Mother Xu tossed and turned at night, always hesitating.

After Peiyao and Ji, which one should she choose?

On the other side, Xu Peiyao didn't sleep either.

She entered the space, sat cross-legged, and circulated her inner breath for 72 days, until the whole body was filled with a faint white air.

She only has the opportunity to enter the space to practice qigong every night when she sleeps. During the day, she is afraid that her mother and others will find out, so she usually does not do it obviously.

Now, it has been nearly ten years, and she is almost done.

Exhaling a breath, the girl stood up and slowly entered the pool not far away to wash her body.

After the clothes were removed, the girl's body was as beautiful as jade, her skin as creamy, without a single blemish on her whole body, she was as perfect as Luoshen.

Leaning against the pool, she gently picked up the water and sprinkled it on her body, watching the drops of crystal clear water slowly slide down her arms.

Suddenly, the girl paused.

She remembered the things Chen Youliang gave her during the day.At that time, she hadn't had time to watch it because of her mother's coming out.

Gently raising her snow-white hand, an exquisite black box suddenly appeared in the girl's palm.

Xu Peiyao lowered her head and opened the box Chen Youliang gave her, and the contents slowly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Huh, it's actually a snow horse." Two fingers gently pinched the gauze inside the box, and a silver bell was adorned underneath, making crisp sounds following the girl's movements.

Xu Peiyao smiled lightly.

"I didn't expect Chen Youliang to be quite intentional." Knowing that she likes to use snow training as a weapon, he specially sent it here.

Putting the things back into the box, the girl slowly came out of the pool, took the palace gown that was as thin as a gauze beside her, and put it on quietly.

She walked towards the embroidered building surrounded by a bamboo forest, her eyes and face downcast.

Recently, for some reason, I always have a bad feeling in my heart.Could it have something to do with the people who followed her found yesterday?

If this is the case, and the girl's eyes are icy cold, then don't blame her for being cruel.
