The seventh princess insists on letting me eat soft rice

"What?" Wei Guan'er was in a daze, slipped and almost sprained her foot.

Lian Liejin quickly supported her, and said with concern: "Senior sister, are you feeling unwell? I heard from them that you came back from a place of bitter cold, did you catch a cold?"

"Guanxie, you treat the Seventh Princess...will you return to the Star Medicine Sect?"

Lian Liejin couldn't help but laugh, "Senior sister, Xingyaomen is the place where I grew up. The master and all the brothers and sisters are there, so there is no reason for me not to come back. Besides, Guanxieju still needs me."

"How is life in Changyong after you and the princess get married?" Wei Guan'er asked with some difficulty.

"This... so-so," Lian Liejin thought about the details of getting along with Gao Jingxi all the time, and his mind moved slightly, "Your Highness, it is different from what I imagined."

"Why is it different?"

After waiting for a long time, Lian Liejin still smiled and said nothing, Wei Guaner sighed inwardly, "Are you unwilling to tell Senior Sister?"

"That's not true," Lian Liejin hurriedly explained: "I just don't know where to start, Princess Seven is an interesting person."

Wei Guaner's heart was full of alarm bells, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only forcefully change the subject, "I heard from Xiao Luobo that you want to move the headquarters of Guanxieju to Changyong?"

"Well, in this way, I can always take care of business in Changyong."

The two left the small green tile courtyard and followed the long corridor to the Snow Cottage.The roof of Xuelu is covered with a thick layer of snow blankets, and candles are burning in the house all year round, and the faint smell of medicinal materials fills the air.

After the two entered the door, they knelt and sat on the soft cushion, with water sitting on the small bronze-colored pear blossom stove next to them. Lian Liejin skillfully washed the pot, ironed the cups, poured the tea, and washed the tea.After a while, the aroma of hot tea rises.

Wei Guan'er couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, she loosened her clenched palms and clenched them again, "Guan Xie, I have found traces of the power of shadow fluctuations in the northern city, and maybe I can find the survival of your shadow clansmen further north." sign."

"Isn't Jinbei City the capital of the enemy country? Sister, you are too risky. Besides, I have read the files left by my mother. The Shadow Clan has no fixed place and their whereabouts are all over the world." Lian Liejin continued to serve tea for the two, Casually said: "A lot of them are just traces left by the past, and it doesn't mean that there are really other clansmen alive."

Wei Guan'er lowered her head in frustration, "Guanxie, the risk of being discovered by others is greatly increased when you go down the mountain. Senior sister hopes that you can come back and let us find your clansmen for you."

"Senior Sister, why do you insist on getting yourself involved? If others know that you are looking for traces of the Shadow Clan, it will be a death penalty. Mother once wanted to find a way to revive the Shadow Clan, but she failed to achieve her wish before she died."

"What about you? Auntie's wish, I am willing to fulfill it with you."

Lian Liejin got up and shook his head, and stood with hands behind his back facing Wei Guaner, "Mother's wish is not my wish... In fact, when the shadows are born, the stars are born. The stars sometimes end, and the shadows are endless. According to the records, The power of the stars first appeared before the power of the shadows."

Wei Guan'er was apparently hearing this for the first time, and she was surprised: "You mean you suspect that the shadow and the stars actually have twin meanings?"

Lian Liejin looked out the window, sighed, and didn't want to say more, "Senior sister, this is just my guess. Maybe... there is a destiny in the dark. Mother's life is very exciting. Although the wish has not been fulfilled, But I'm not sorry. I've always had doubts about her death, but it's not just the Shadow Race that I want to investigate."

It was the first time for Wei Guan'er to hear Lian Liejin talk about her mother, "Guan Xie, I didn't know you, but your affection for your aunt is so deep!"

"Although I was young at that time, I remember it clearly," Lian Liejin thought of her being an orphan before crossing over, and it was hard for her to have parents and mother's love when she came here.

"My mother is beautiful and gentle. Everyone in the family knows that after I can't cultivate star power, she is the only one who is willing to talk to me and play with me. Although I have only been with her for five years, I am indeed extremely happy."

"Speaking of which, the children in Duke Yan's mansion called me a monster, and even my father didn't want to admit me at first." Lian Liejin straightened his back and looked into the distance, as if recalling, "Back then, I was still a mother. You said send me to Xingyaomen." The marriage contract with Gao Jingxi was also made by mother before her death.

"My family has been blessed by my aunt, and it is my wish to do my best for my aunt. So, Guanxie, you can't stop me." Wei Guan'er can almost imagine a gentle and charming woman, holding the little girl by the hand. Lian Liejin, flying kites and folding window paper in the high-walled compound.

There was a strange look in her eyes, and she leaned forward, "Guanxie, do you want to go to the North City with me again? Just you and me."

Seeing the tangled and hesitant look on Lian Liejin's face, Wei Guan'er did not urge her, but just took out a piece of wood from the Zheyun tree from his cuff, put it on the table, and said lightly:

"The cloud-shrouding wood that can perfectly store the power of shadows, the only piece, was used to make a mask for you. This time, the cloud-shrouding wood chips reappeared in the northern city. If we continue to investigate, we will definitely find clues."

"No, Elder Sister, I have other things to do now. Besides, as I said just now, Mother's wish is not mine. She never imposed it on me, and I will not impose it on myself."

"Guan Xie," Wei Guan'er's voice was so soft that he could almost pinch water, "Since you turned sixteen, you and I often go out together. In the past few months, the two of us have separated suddenly, you really don't want to go with me As far as the north city?"

At this moment, a familiar fragrance with warm water vapor accurately broke into Lian Liejin's nasal cavity.

"It doesn't seem right, Lie Jin wants to go home with me." Gao Jingxi suddenly pushed the door open, biting the word "home" quite heavily in his tone.

Princess Seven's hair was a little moist, it should be wet from falling snow.

Seeing this, Lian Liejin frowned, pulled her into the room, handed her a cup of hot tea, and couldn't help but blame her, "Your Highness, why don't you open an umbrella when it's snowing?"

"When does Ben Gong need to open the umbrella in person? Ben Gong said that if you are too slow, I will come to find you in person."

Lian Liejin almost fell out of his seat. The nobles in ancient times really stretched out their clothes to eat and opened their mouths. People who obviously remembered to brush themselves off the falling snow yesterday were not willing to open umbrellas for themselves.

And it was clear that she had just sat down and chatted with the elder sister for less than an hour.

"Sister Princess, it's not a gentleman's job to eavesdrop on someone's speech outside the door." Wei Guan'er was not angry, but just shook her sleeves and said with a smile.

"It's only natural that I come to find my son-in-law." Gao Jingxi took advantage of the situation and leaned on Lian Liejin, arranging her bun, "Liejin, I really want to go back to our home, it's so cold here."

"Sister Princess, Guan'er remembers that Changyong City seems to be colder than Qingyue Mountain, so your words are somewhat contradictory."

"However, Qingyue Mountain is wet and cold, and Changyong City is just low in temperature. But it depends on whether the heating is not in place. In this way, it is indeed necessary to install Dilong for our Xingyaomen." Lian Liejin general Gao Jing Xi put his hand into his cuff, then took out a small agate abacus from his pocket, and crackled and calculated for a while, "Roughly speaking, it will cost a thousand taels of silver to buy an earth dragon. There will also be a certain amount of wear and tear when transporting it up the mountain. .”

Wei Guan'er, Gao Jingxi: "..." Is the focus on money?

The two women beside her had unkind faces.Lian Liejin finally sensed the stagnation in the atmosphere, and hurriedly put the little abacus into his arms.Help Gao Jingxi warm his hands again, cough twice, and say in a deep voice:

"His Royal Highness, please be safe, we will leave tomorrow to return to Changyong." After a pause, he said: "Senior Sister, do you know if all the fairy powder trees have been destroyed?"

Wei Guan'er just drank the hot tea, took a deep breath and said, "Master has an destiny. All the fairy powder trees will be burned, and no one will keep the plants."

Lian Liejin and Gao Jingxi looked at each other, and replied in unison: "Now there are still fairy fans in the market."

"Guanxie, are you doubting the master?" Wei Guan'er drank the last sip of tea, and said firmly: "How is this possible, there is absolutely no way for the Xingyaomen to do such a harmful thing. Of course, Guanxieju is also impossible. I will urge other disciples to thoroughly investigate the medicines, including the land we own in other states and counties, and I will also send people to check."

Gao Jingxi shrugged her shoulders, "I have already begun to ask people to investigate, and I believe the truth will come to light soon."

"I hope Senior Sister will thoroughly investigate this matter, and Xingyao Sect should also rectify it." Lian Liejin extinguished the fire and cleaned the teapot, "Let's go, I'm hungry, I'll just order chicken legs."

Wei Guan'er was behind her, looking at the well-matched figure of the two, finally hesitated to speak, and sighed very lightly.

Since Lian Liejin didn't eat anything in the morning, Junior Sister Zhao specially cooked several dishes she liked and sent them to Qingwa Courtyard.

Just bumped into each other, Lian Liejin and the others were three of them.Martial sister Zhao didn't expect to meet the elder sister, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be blind, trying to get the food delivered to her room and run away.

However, things backfired.

Walking behind Lian Liejin and Gao Jingxi, Wei Guan'er controlled her gaze, tried to look elsewhere, and stopped paying attention to Guanxie.Just by looking at it, she saw her Junior Sister Zhao who likes to wear green clothes.

"Junior Sister Zhao, are you here to deliver food to Guan Xie?" Wei Guan'er said softly, and stopped the person who was about to bury her head in her elbow, "during my absence, have you taken good care of Guan Xie?" evil?"

Junior sister Zhao's back was cold, her whole body froze, she turned her head slowly, first she lowered her head and called Senior Sister a few times, and then replied slowly: "Yes, what Guanxie eats is all the food in the Daquan Daquan written by you, Senior Sister. "

"Really?" Wei Guan'er walked up to Junior Sister Zhao, and took the food box from her hand, "You two are black and bloodshot, what did you do last night?"

Lian Liejin and Junior Martial Sister Zhao became nervous when they heard the senior sister's questioning. You must know that the senior sister never allowed them to play mahjong, let alone stay overnight.

Once discovered, Wei Guan'er would confiscate all the mahjong, and the mahjong parlor that they managed to open in a hidden place would be ruined again.

"Last night, last night, we," Junior Sister Zhao looked left and right with her moist almond eyes, until she caught a glimpse of Lian Liejin and Gao Jingxi holding hands, and silver bell-like laughter immediately sounded, "I and Little Carrot has gone to make trouble in the bridal chamber of Senior Sister Guanxie and His Highness the Princess. You say yes, Senior Sister Guanxie."
