Are you in the Shura field today?

"Your Highness, the meals have been delivered."

Lanshuang's voice came from outside the study.

Li Zuoqing announced the people to come in, and Lanshuang ordered the servants to arrange the dinner in the study, and then bowed and left very considerately.

And the brilliance of the setting sun penetrating through the window indicates that it is already dusk, and no matter how much ink is left, dinner will turn into supper soon.

As the old saying goes, the hibiscus tent warms up the spring night, and since then the king does not go to court early, and when she comes to her, the princess has never left the court.

Really mediocre.

Li Zuoqing thought casually, while moving the stools of the two of them together, and sat next to Xin Fei when she came out.

And Di Kun used to have fair skin, but just crawled out of the warm bed at this moment, her cheeks are even more rosy, cute and gratifying, and her sleepy and defenseless appearance once again aroused her desire to bully.

"Come here." Li Zuoqing waved to her happily, and quickly scooped up two bowls of red bean and lotus seed stuffing.

Xin Fei's eyes lit up, Tiangan's gesture of opening her arms gave her an illusion, so she walked over shyly and sat softly on her lap.

Li Zuoqing: "..." That's fine too.

Anyway, people sit on it by themselves, so it's useless not to hug.

She circled her slender waist and brought over a piece of brown sugar steamed rice cake. The fragrance of Dikun and the sweet taste of the food on the table made her feel good and her appetite improved.

After eating for a while, Xin Fei found the stool next to him, and couldn't help but realize that he had made a mistake just now, so he turned his face away and was too embarrassed to look at Tiangan.

But only when she is close to the person she loves now can she bring her the power of peace of mind.

She swallowed the lotus seed stuffing in the bowl with a small mouthful, the silky and sweet taste was like the level of an imperial chef in the palace more than ten years ago.

The distant memory hooked Xin Fei's consciousness, she couldn't help but stop the spoon in her hand, and made a crisp sound when it hit the bottom of the bowl.

"Huh? Is it not to your liking?" Li Zuoqing raised his head and leaned over to ask her.

Di Kun came back to his senses, and after a while, he pressed his lower lip and thought: "No, I just remembered some past events."

Her expression was flat and natural, and it seemed that what she mentioned was not important, so Li Zuoqing felt relieved, but Xin Fei looked at her again and said, "I want to tell you these things too."

"The truth?" Li Zuoqing joked.

Xin Fei nodded: "Well, half of the sentence is true, but I can't say all of it."

"Okay, okay." In fact, Li Zuoqing didn't care much about the other party's past.

No matter what kind of identity the other party has, no matter whether the person she wants to assassinate is Queen Anyuan, the biological mother of the "Eldest Princess"—to her outside the world, these are just the background of the book, a paragraph that is not well written. Just text.

She did lose her temper with the other party because of Xin Fei's concealment, but the point of her anger from the beginning to the end was not because of the other party's identity, but because Empress An Yuan hinted to her that Xin Fei used her to get close to the royal family.

So now that Xin Fei wants to confess, it makes no difference to her whether she confesses [-]% or [-]%.

"Well, where do I start... This may be a long story." Xin Fei's eyes followed Li Zuoqing's stirring spoons.

"It's okay, you have storytelling time tonight." Li Zuoqing handed over a mouthful of purple potato and bean paste balls.

"It's so sweet." Xin Fei took a few bites and commented.

Encouraged by Tian Qian's words, she continued to whisper: "I know, let's start with the name first."

"name?"

Does it refer to Xin Fei, whom she was given a name, or A Qiao from Tianxiang Tower?

"Yes, I have a real name, but the number of people who know this name is probably less than the number of people who know the name 'Xin Fei'." Di Kun raised the corners of his mouth and looked at her seriously, "My original name is Yuchi, The single name is the word Joe."

"So the people in Tianxianglou called you Aqiao right?" Li Zuoqing regretted it, and she retracted her statement of "not caring about Xin Fei's past". Now she is sad and depressed.

After a long time, she couldn't pronounce her own Dikun's name correctly. Forget it, and she couldn't bear it when outsiders shouted more affectionately than her.

"But I heard that Joe meant—"

Xin Fei took her words: "Did you pick it up from the bridge?"

With a smile in her eyes, she scratched her jealous ears soothingly.

"This is indeed just a coincidence."

"Both my biological parents died in the war more than ten years ago, and later—a kind-hearted person picked me up in a carriage next to the broken bridge. I didn't know how to call me, so I started with Aqiao."

She still remembers the day when she was rescued from the flames of the imperial city, the chasing and escorting chariots and horses fought along the way, all the way, all the way was covered with blood.

The screams and roars of people begging for mercy hurt her eardrums, and she curled up tremblingly in the arms of the wet nurse.

The gentle nurse covered her ears, kissed her piously on her forehead, covered her eyes with a cloth strip, and stuffed her into the cargo box.

"When you see the light, everything will be fine." The wet nurse promised when she closed the lid of the box.

"it is good……"

Her voice was hoarse, her throat was sore, and she was afraid that the sound of calling would attract nearby pursuers, so she had to bear the fear and knelt in the box in panic.

The nurse didn't lie to her. In the heavy wooden box, everything outside the box was far away, and those disputes and shouts became far away.It's just that time has become slower. Even though she kept sleeping, endured hunger and stuffy heat, and didn't even dare to break the lid of the box to check—but after a long, long time, she didn't see the light.

So for a while, when she saw her mother in her sleep, she felt that this heavy wooden box would become her coffin.

She was ready to leave, but when she was about to be too exhausted to even open her eyes, the box finally had the feeling of being artificially moved besides the bumps.

"Junior Sister, there is a child here, we—"

Blindfolded, she heard the first strange words in many days.

"You are so meddling in your own business! Just kill those chasing soldiers, I don't want to nurse children at such a young age!"

Immediately afterwards, a person with a clearer and more impatient voice interrupted the other party.

Shocked in her heart, she couldn't help making a gesture of asking for help, which made the man let go of his hesitation.

In the end, she was gently lifted up, and the cloth wrapped around her eyes was untied.

She hadn't seen the light for a long time in the darkness, and even the dusk felt dazzling. The person lying in a pool of blood on the grass was so familiar that she couldn't stop crying instantly.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry." The man with a gentle voice coaxed her softly.

The child is obviously so weak, why can he still shed so many tears in silence.

Seeing this, the disdainful woman standing on the other side also became nervous, and complained to remind the man: "You are stupid! Don't wake her up in this kind of place."

So the two comforted her in a hurry, and after she was so tired that she fell asleep, they took her to a strange but warm and comfortable place.

……

"Hey, the person who saved Xiaofei is really a rare good person."

Li Zuoqing's words brought back Xin Fei's wandering thoughts of the past.

"Well, they are the most important people to me right now."

After a pause, Xin Fei blinked and added to Li Zuoqing: "Of course Lang Yu is also very important, other than that, I have nothing else to desire."

"Really... Since you have no other desires, why did your companion still treat my queen mother—" Li Zuoqing couldn't help asking.

That's it, what she really wants to know - Xin Fei's motive for approaching her!

Di Kun shook his head, still a little confused, but told her very definitely: "The queen is lying."

"You said my mother lied to me?" Li Zuoqing's eyes widened.

What kind of world is this? How can anyone lie to her? !

"According to my investigation, this is the case." Xin Fei explained, "My companion did meet the Queen's people, but he did not see her real self."

"So there are only unwarranted 'assassinations', not real sword-to-blade encounters."

Li Zuoqing supported her forehead with a headache. She remembered that Empress Anyuan deliberately showed her the gauze-bound palm that day.

If what Xin Fei said is true, then the queen is also a dramatist.

"But why did my mother target you?"

"It's probably because I'm not used to it, and I took away the eyes you should have given to Lin Qiwu." Xin Fei narrated flatly, not caring about being hated by the queen, "Besides, my identity is not upright."

"That's right, you are the dancer of Tianxianglou." Li Zuoqing realized.

She remembered that Lin Qiwu also said that telling her to be less exposed to the prostitutes outside seemed to have a grudge against Xin Fei.

But Xin Fei shook his head again: "It means that my real identity is very dangerous in the palace or in the rivers and lakes."

"Assassin?" Li Zuoqing asked her.

"No."

"Hmm..." Forgive her for her short-sightedness and ignorance of Jianghu, so she really can't guess.

Xin Fei suddenly touched her waist, frowned and said, "Where is the waist pendant I gave you?"

"It's locked in the drawer on the left of the third shelf in the study!" Li Zuoqing replied very quickly when Di Kun suddenly interrogated and identified the love token, for fear of making Xin Fei misunderstand and feel sad again.

"There are a lot of heavy winter clothes, and I'm afraid of losing them, so I put them away."

Hearing her explanation, Xin Fei breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her eyebrows, and said cautiously: "Take the waist ornament I gave you, and go to any shop with the same pattern as the pendant. It can be exchanged for any information you want."

"Any information?" Li Zuoqing couldn't believe it, "For example, I want to know how many eggs the hen in the imperial kitchen will lay tomorrow?"

Xin Fei had a helpless expression: "Most people wouldn't use this brand to ask such things."

"Oh... that seems to be quite a precious thing."

It sounds like the ability behind Xin Fei is much stronger than she imagined.

While Li Zuoqing was relieved, she felt a little disappointed for some reason. She was obviously afraid that the other party would be displaced, so she secretly bought a lot of mansions and fields.

Now it seems that Xin Fei should not need it at all.

But she quickly came out of this depressed mood, and asked enthusiastically: "I still want to know more about the kind-hearted couple who adopted Xiao Fei!"

Lang Yu showed kindness to Xin Fei's adoptive parents, which made the latter feel very relieved.

What she cherishes the most-family harmony is the most important thing to her.

After they finished their dinner, Li Zuoqing listened carefully to her story until the rest time, how the pair of brothers and sisters taught her martial arts, taught her to grow up, and brought her out of the boundless pain and darkness of her childhood .

However, Xin Fei kept silent about what was the source of her childhood shadow.

The author has something to say: Xiaofei kept silent about her status as an orphan from the previous dynasty because she didn't care so much about the past, and she was worried that the heroine would not care about her if she found out, so she simply stopped talking about it. What other bad thoughts, just doing things simple and rude.

But the heroine will know everything she should know later.

Maybe the real eldest princess would mind, but the heroine is a time traveler, so she will feel at ease and will not be burdened at all.
