[Comprehensive martial arts] The bright moon shines on you

Shi Guanyin brought Mingyue Ye to the royal court of the Kingdom of Kucha, and then went mad in the tent of the eldest princess. After regaining her senses and leaving, she never came back, as if she had been forgotten here.

Her daily meals are delivered by someone, and most of the time it is the little girl with a round face who seems to like her very much.There will also be dedicated staff to take care of the usual dressing and washing, but they never stay in her tent for too long, and leave voluntarily after serving, and only appear when the people in the tent call for them.

The entire Kucha royal court didn't seem to notice that their eldest princess had been replaced, and there was a calm and peaceful look.Mingyueye lived quietly in the country of Qiuci like this, except that she was not allowed to go out, and her daily food and clothing were indeed like a real princess.And the real Princess Qiuci, who was taken away by the round-faced girl at the beginning, was soon released back as Ming Yueye expected.After she came back, she really followed Ming Yueye like a personal maid.

The status has been reduced from a princess of a country to a maid who serves people, but this princess of Kucha does not seem to be dissatisfied. She spends her days reading and practicing calligraphy in the tent with Mingyue Ye.After a long time, she finally has a bit of a girl's lively look.

On this day, Mingyue Ye had nothing to do, and took an ancient book to tell the history of Princess Qiuci.This princess of Kucha seems to really like the culture of the Central Plains. There are all kinds of historical books in the tent, and the bookshelves are piled up with annotations on poetry and classics. There is even a complete set of Four Books and Five Classics.It's a pity that although she knows the Central Plains dialect, she can write and read it, but she doesn't understand the orthodox Central Plains culture related to various theories in the Four Books and Five Classics.

The royal family of the Kucha Kingdom was good at playing the pipa, especially when Emperor Wu of the Five Dynasties of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Su Baipo, the king of Kucha, followed the Turkic queen into the Han land, and the wonderful sound of the pipa made the government and the public intoxicated, so it became famous all over the world, and the story is still there today. spread.But the eldest princess of the Kucha Kingdom found a different way to prefer guqin. There is a well-maintained lyre guqin in her tent, which is the legacy of the famous qin master in Tang Dynasty.

Usually no one would come into the tent where Mingyue Ye lived, and she was idle on weekdays, and she would play the piano and chat with this princess of Qiuci who was also locked up when she was free.In her spare time, Mingyueye lectured on scriptures and history to her, and she told Mingyueye about the various customs of Kucha Kingdom, and sometimes she would mention her sister who was regarded as the pride of all tribes.

"She is the most beautiful beauty in our Kucha country, the most dazzling pearl in the desert."

"Oh?" At this time, when Ming Yueye was telling her about all kinds of beauties in history, the girl in white casually turned a page of the book, "Is it beautiful?"

"En!" Princess Qiuci nodded seriously, and when her eyes fell on the person who was reading with downcast eyes, she paused for a while.Even with a veil on, this person is still breathtakingly beautiful, and his whole body seems to be shrouded in a soft light.It wasn't until Ming Yueye raised her eyes in doubt and gave her a questioning look that she turned her gaze away in a little helplessness, and whispered, "But I can't compare with you, Miss..."

Ming Yueye looked at her fixedly, then smiled slightly and turned her head.

"That sister of yours..." She paused for a moment as if she wanted to say something.

"What?" Princess Qiuci looked up at her suspiciously.

"...It's nothing." Ming Yueye paused for a while, then shook her head.Princess Qiuci became more and more at a loss because of her hesitation to speak. Ming Yueye caught her look in his eyes, but didn't intend to say more.

This is an unfavored princess.Because she was not favored, her temperament was quiet and introverted, and she did not dare to show up when she was wronged; also because she was not favored, no one noticed that she had been replaced for so long.The princess played by Shi Guanyin explained to the eldest princess that she was ill for so long without going out, so the king of Qiuci really believed that she was ill. Over a month passed, he did not even visit her.

Looking at the girl in front of her who can be called an ordinary face, and thinking about her sister who is known as the pearl of the desert, Ming Yueye understands why she is not favored.Thinking of this, Mingyue Ye felt strange.

The skin of the confidante is all dry bones, what is the difference between beautiful and ugly?

In this case, even if she was asked to say it, she probably wouldn't be able to say it.But as a person who has been deeply hurt by appearance in two lifetimes, Ming Yueye really can't understand those who can be easily confused by appearance, and those who can do anything to go crazy for their beauty... such as Shi Guanyin.

As for the girl in front of her, although her appearance is ordinary, after getting along with her for a while, Ming Yueye found that she was very smart.She was always quick to learn what was handed to her.Moreover, she was thoughtful and meticulous, and she was the first to discover something was wrong with the princess.

But these inherent advantages, in the eyes of some people, may not be worth an ordinary-looking evaluation.

Ming Yueye shook her head and stopped thinking about these things, it was useless to think too much anyway.She picked up the ancient book in her hand and flipped through it, and continued to tell the history to Princess Qiuci.

They were talking about the primogeniture system that Confucianism regards as orthodox.

"In the Central Plains, only sons can inherit the father's business?"

"Well, aren't you Kucha?"

"Women here can also be kings."

Ming Yueye nodded, and her fingers, with downcast eyes and flipping through the book, paused suddenly.The long black hair slid down the side of her face, and the girl in white turned her head slightly and thought for a moment.

"I remember, your father seems to have no son?"

Princess Qiuci didn't seem to know why she suddenly mentioned this, she looked at her suspiciously and nodded.

"So, if your father dies. Who will be the next successor?"

Princess Qiuci paused, as if she had never thought about it before, she paused for a while, and looked at her with a blank gaze, "I... don't know."

"It never occurred to me that..."

Ming Yueye looked up at her for a few seconds, then quietly closed the history book in her hand and put it aside, "Then start thinking now."

After finishing speaking, she walked to the bookshelf in the tent under the blank gaze of Princess Qiuci, took out a book, and then walked back to the table and sat down.Pressing the pages of the book with slender and white fingers, Ming Yue Ye calmly raised her head and looked back at Princess Qiuci.

"Starting today, I will tell you this book."

Under the fair fingers, three sharp regular scripts were printed on the dark blue cover of the book.

Han Fei.

"Han Feizi" has a total of twenty volumes and 55 independent essays.Of course, Mingyue Ye couldn't tell the whole story to the eldest princess, so she simply picked and told her three chapters: "Real Rights", "Ren Zhu" and "The Lord's Way".

Speaking of which, she still learned these things in her previous life.Her cousin, a descendant of the Murong clan in Yan State, has been thinking about restoring the country day and night for several generations.The entire library was filled with such imperial books at home. Unfortunately, her cousin and uncle allowed these ancient books to accumulate dust in the library, but she was obsessed with various martial arts in her family's Langhuan Paradise all day long.He wanted to restore the country, but he didn't learn the serious schemes, and made all kinds of messy conspiracies, and finally capsized.

Thinking of those things in her previous life, Ming Yue Ye was a little dazed.But she quickly gathered her thoughts, and was about to continue telling Princess Qiuci the next piece of "Xianxue", when she heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted.

The concubine, who was dressed in white and had a sickly face but was still undiminished, walked in with a group of maids.Ming Yueye felt Princess Qiuci's body stiffen while sitting beside her, and her hands on her lap began to tremble slightly.She sat there calmly, watching the princess played by Shi Guanyin approach gracefully, her gaze swept across her veiled face, and she said with a gentle smile, "I won't see you in January." , is Yue'er still used to living here?"

Mingyue Ye stood up under her gentle gaze like water waves, and folded her hands in front of her.The long sleeves flowed smoothly down her side like butterfly wings, and the girl in white who was standing peacefully lowered her eyes slightly, "It's a good stay, thank you, Princess."

"I want to call the queen mother."

"...Yes, Queen Mother."

Shi Guanyin's gaze paused for a few seconds on her obediently hanging white side neck, and after a while, he finally turned his gaze away.The smile on her lips was gentle, like a real mother kindly said:

"In the blink of an eye, Yue'er has grown up and reached the age to marry. Your father and I have arranged a good marriage for you."

The gentle and mellow female voice stopped slightly, and she looked at the girl in white clothes who was standing quietly on the ground with her head down, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said in a tone of deep meaning, "Have you heard of Chu Liuxiang?"

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and a gleam of dark light flickered under Ming Yueye's eyes, but his face remained calm and calm, "I heard something."

"What do you think of him?"

Ming Yueye still lowered her head obediently, "But let the queen mother make the decision."

Shi Guanyin nodded in satisfaction, but then frowned slightly.The beauty's frowning movements are so tender that people unconsciously want to wipe away the sadness between her brows.

"It's a pity that your father and I proposed marriage for you, but he refused."

Shi Guanyin's eyes fell back on the person in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, but there was an inexplicable chill in his words, "He must have never seen my face that is so beautiful, so he has the heart to refuse. How about you, Yue'er?" How about going to persuade him in person?"

Mingyue Ye's long eyelashes drooped quietly, and she bowed her head respectfully to answer "yes".

Shi Guanyin smiled in satisfaction, moved lightly with lotus steps, and walked in front of Mingyueye.Slowly stretching out her white and soft hand, her slender fingers paused for a few seconds when they touched the veil on the face of the girl who was standing still with her head bowed.I don't know what to think of, the smile on Wang Hao's face faded, she took her hand back, and then gently raised her wrist.

Behind her, the maid holding a gorgeous dress and a jeweled head came forward, surrounded the bright moon night into the screen, and began to change her clothes.

In the quiet tent, only the rustling of the fabric behind the screen can be heard, occasionally mixed with the soft sound of one or two gemstones colliding.The eldest princess of the Kingdom of Kucha stood at the table a few steps away from Shi Guanyin, huddled quietly, not daring to take a breath.She felt that the devilish woman a few steps away was emotionally fluctuating, sometimes calm, and sometimes like a black sandstorm erupting suddenly.She tried her best to minimize her own existence, for fear of touching this devil's bad luck and making her go crazy again.

In the torment that the princess's time seemed to be at a standstill, after an unknown amount of time, someone finally came out from behind the screen.

As if a ray of light had entered the dimly lit tent, a group of beauties dressed in splendid attire slowly stepped out from behind the screen, and the drop-shaped ruby ​​on their foreheads flickered slightly, so dazzling that it could almost burn people's eyes.

Mingyue Ye's clothes have always been plain, and she doesn't like to wear jewelry.The jet-black, silk-like long hair has always been casually rolled up and inserted with a hosta, or simply tied with a plain hairband without the hairpin, and let the long hair be as casual as it wants. Waterfall scattered on the shoulders.But this does not mean that she is not suitable for strong and bright colors, on the contrary, no matter how strong the colors are on her body, they can only become her own embellishment and foil.

The alluring beauties who are all dressed up are a bit vulgar to describe them as stunningly beautiful.This kind of beauty has gone beyond the category of beauty, and has become a rare treasure, which should hardly appear in the world.

The air pressure in the tent dropped almost instantly, and the candles in the tent were still flickering, but the people in the tent felt as if they were in the dark desert where a black sandstorm was coming.Princess Qiuci tremblingly looked at the princess who had been staring at her since Ming Yueye came out and hadn't said a word for a long time.Under her substantive gaze, the beauty in full attire lowered her head quietly, her complexion gradually turned pale, but it didn't lose half of her beauty.On the contrary, because of her pale complexion, she added a kind of desolate beauty like the rain of flowers, which made people feel a sense of protection.

The atmosphere in the tent was as silent as a cemetery for a while, and some maids couldn't hold back and fell to their knees on the ground.A long time later, when Princess Qiuci was terrified and thought that the princess was going crazy again.Shi Guanyin's aura suddenly withdrew, and she looked at the pale girl standing in front of her with a slightly trembling body, with a gentle smile on her lips.She seemed to be that loving mother again, looking at the person in front of her with a gentle smile, "It's not good for a child to wear too colorful clothes."

Shi Guanyin glanced lightly at the person on the ground, and the maid who was kneeling on the ground trembled all over, and immediately got up from the ground in a hurry.Only then did she smile with satisfaction, and said softly, "Go and replace it."

Until Shi Guanyin led the people away, and the curtain of the tent at the door fell again to cover the incoming sunlight, Princess Qiuci's palms were still icy cold.It took her a long while to recover from the horror that she had walked through the gate of hell again, and when she looked up again, she found that Mingyue Ye, who had changed into plain clothes and white dress, was already sitting at the table, holding a cup of tea in her hand , the fragrance of tea curled up, and the steam was transpiring, the outline of her allure was slightly blurred, making her expression unclear.

Princess Qiuci groped to sit beside her, opened her mouth, but could hardly make a sound.

After a long time, it was Ming Yueye who noticed her movement first and raised her eyes to look at her.

"What do you want to say?"

Princess Qiuci hesitated for a while, "She...why did she..."

"Why do it?"

Ming Yueye completed her question indifferently.She picked up the teacup in her hand and took a sip, the light and slightly bitter taste of tea spread in her mouth.With a slight movement of the arm, the cuff embroidered with dark patterns of orchids slipped slightly, revealing a small wrist as white as frost and snow.The teacup was put back on the table, and there was a faint "click", and the girl sitting by the table lowered her eyes lightly, with a mocking smile on her lips.

"Because she wants to prove who is the real number one beauty in the world."

When Chu Liuxiang was walking on the green grass outside the tent, she felt the magic of life.One day before, he, Ji Bingyan, Hu Tiehua and others were digging in the desert like wild dogs to find the warm sand under the scorching sun to survive due to the dry water source. One day later, they became the guests of King Kucha.There is not only water, but also wine, food, and even beauties.

It's a pity that although the beauty is beautiful, he has no blessing to enjoy it.Chu Liuxiang looked up at the boundless starry sky and sighed slightly, missing her three-masted ship at sea.

After he cooperated with Wang Shibao's plan to reveal Nangong Ling's true face, Nangong Ling, under Wang Shibao's exposure and Qiu Lingsu's personal correction, was indisputable and committed suicide on the spot.Other sub-heads of the Beggar Clan participated in Nangong Ling's plan, and all of them were taken down by Wang Shibao.Unexpectedly, Zuo Gonglong, one of the four great elders of the Beggar Clan, whose public image is most eager, righteous, and selfless, actually got involved in Nangong Ling's troubled waters.

On the day after dealing with the traitors of the Beggar Gang, Wang Shibao sighed and drank most of the night with Chu Liuxiang.He and Zuo Gonglong have also been friends for decades, who would have thought that they would come to this point in the end.

On the second day, when the beggar gang's affairs were over, Chu Liuxiang went straight to Shaolin and found Wuhua who was serving Master Tianfeng.When he saw Chu Liuxiang coming to his door, he seemed to have already expected what he was going to do, and he cut himself off without causing too much disturbance.

This conspiracy that stirred up the world seems to have ended so simply. When Chu Liuxiang returned to the boat, he still felt a little unbelievable. At the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the mystery of Yinyuanhui.Others have planned a conspiracy for decades, and when they get to it, it's like looking down at the lines on the palm of their hands, and it knows almost every aspect of it a step ahead.

However, when Chu Liuxiang boarded the boat, he realized that this matter was far from over for him.

The three of Su Rongrong were taken away by the black pearl, and Chu Liuxiang chased them all the way to the desert.Soon after, he will find that the hole dug for him by someone in the desert is many times larger than the one he encountered in the Central Plains.

The bright moon over the great desert is as big as a silver plate, and it is rare that the stars have not dimmed.The wind blowing from the desert passes through many green forests, and becomes gentle and gentle when it blows on people's faces.The night overhead is vast and boundless, and the desert can be seen as far as the eye can see.Walking in such a night, people's hearts seem to become suddenly enlightened.

Chu Liuxiang walked out from the center where the tents gathered, and when passing by the Kucha warriors standing guard with golden daggers, he smiled and nodded slightly at them, in exchange for the golden armored warriors giving them a vigilant look.

Going forward, the voice of people gradually decreased.There was the sound of gurgling water coming from the forest, Chu Liuxiang passed by there during the day, and remembered that there was a pool of clear spring like jasper over there.Amidst the night wind and the sound of water, it seemed that someone lightly plucked the strings.

The man in blue paused slightly, and glanced over there with great interest.This sound doesn't sound like a pipa, but a bit like a guqin from the Central Plains.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of Lingling's piano came from the forest.The sound of the piano is curling like a clear spring passing by the ear, as light as water.After listening carefully, it seemed as if three feet of ice had frozen.It's like the lonely fairy in the Guanghan Immortal Palace playing the qin under the moonlight, and the sound of the qin flows through the ages.

While Chu Liuxiang was fascinated, she couldn't help being curious.In this foreign country outside the Great Wall, he unexpectedly met a luthier with high piano skills, which can be called rare in the world.

He walked forward a few steps, and after passing two shady green trees, his eyes suddenly opened up.

The sky is full of stars, and the moon is shining.

It was as if meeting an immortal under the moonlight.

Beside the green stones and green trees, a figure in white clothes like snow sits peacefully, with a lyre lying on his knees, the strings are plucked with delicate hands, and the sound of the piano seems to come from the nine heavens.

A thin white gauze hangs down like a wisp of clear mist to cover her face, but the silhouette of her head with long hair hanging like a waterfall is like the embodiment of all the beauty in the hearts of literati, just a silhouette seems to gather the world Even the vast and majestic desert night became the background to set off her.

Chu Liuxiang's breathing was slightly stagnant, and she slowed down her steps as if she couldn't bear to be disturbed.

The desert is vast, and the stars hang down on the plains.The nearby green trees sway and cast their shadows, the flowing water beside the bluestone is gurgling, and the flowers blooming in the depths of the desert are bright and unrestrained.Under the dim starlight, it seemed as if he had encountered the most beautiful and amazing dream in his life, and he couldn't bear to wake up, nor did he want to wake up.

A gust of night wind blows, the branches of the green trees by the spring hang down, and an unknown wild fruit falls into the spring, and the sound of "plop" falling into the water can be heard.The maid in Chinese clothes standing by the tree glanced back casually, her expression changed instantly, and she reflexively shouted, "Who?!"

As soon as the gurgling sound of the piano stopped, the beauty in white looked back at the sound.The night wind blew, the long hair fluttered, and a white gauze was lifted by the wind, twirled in the night wind blowing through the green trees, and fell to the green grass.

Then she met a pair of clear and bright eyes, like a pool of water under the moonlight, calm and leisurely.The mirror-like water reflected her face without a veil, and there was surprise, appreciation, and a gentle smile flowing in her eyes.

Chu Liuxiang.

Mingyue Ye picked up the guqin and stood up, the soft snow-colored skirt brushed against the bluestone under her feet, and the tail of her hair was gently lifted by the night wind when she turned around.

"and many more."

A soft cry from behind stopped her in her tracks.Mingyueye paused slightly for a few seconds, then slowly looked back.

Ten meters away, a man in blue stretched out his hand to touch the bridge of his straight nose. There was a shyness and embarrassment like that of a teenager on his clear and handsome face.Seeing that she was about to leave, he yelled at her reflexively, but at this moment he remembered that he didn't seem to know her.

Under the eyes of those eyes that seemed to merge into the sky full of stars, the man in blue touched his nose, his eyes turned lightly, and a calm smile finally floated on his lips, "The night is frosty and cold, the girl is in the middle of the night." This is playing the qin. I see that the sound of the qin is quite gloomy, does the girl have any troubles?"

Ming Yueye held the Guqin with her fingers tightly, then turned around slowly, and met those clear but gentle smiling eyes.Under the moonlight, the slender eyelashes of the beauty in white trembled slightly, as if there were stars shining down.

"Master Chu."

Chu Liuxiang looked slightly astonished, "You know me?"

Ming Yueye nodded slightly, then turned her head slightly, her eyes fell on the gurgling spring on the right, "Since Mr. Chu has rejected the envoy's proposal of marriage, why bother to ask more questions at this moment?"

The man in blue moved his eyes slightly, and his eyes stopped on her. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the maid in Chinese clothes who stood aside with a slightly nervous expression.His eyes flashed,

"Wu Qingtian is not the one who proposes marriage to Princess Pipa?"

Mingyue Ye looked calm, "There is not only one princess in the Kucha Kingdom."

The long eyelashes were slightly raised, looking at the man who was quietly looking at her a few steps away, the corner of the white beauty's lips suddenly curled into a chuckle, "Forget it, she will marry me after all, if not you will also marry me." It's someone else."

After she finished speaking, she turned around as if she was about to leave, but Chu Liuxiang called her back again.This time he didn't feel much embarrassment, he just smiled and said, "I haven't asked the girl's name yet."

Everyone was about to leave, but they suddenly asked for their names.Mingyue Ye didn't look back as if she wasn't surprised at all, and only left two words lightly.

"Moon."

The beautiful figure in white gradually faded away, followed by the maid in Chinese clothes who had been accompanying her all the time.Chu Liuxiang stood there and looked at their backs, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a long time, the man smiled lightly, turned around and walked towards his tent.

In the tent, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua were still discussing that Wu Qingtian, the hero "Qingtian Swordsman" in "The Two Heroes of the Wu Family", came to propose marriage to Chu Liuxiang on behalf of King Kucha.

"If you want me to say, the old bug simply agreed and let it go. Isn't he looking for someone? When he becomes King Kucha's son-in-law, who can he not find in this desert?"

Ji Bingyan sneered from the side, "If this matter were really that simple, King Qiuci would not be in a hurry to find Chu Liuxiang to be his son-in-law."

Hu Tiehua gave a "tsk", "I think you're just jealous because Princess Pipa picked the old bug but didn't pick you."

Ji Bingyan looked at him calmly, "Is it me who is jealous?"

"Could it be me?"

"Ha ha."

"What do you mean by sneering?" Seeing that Hu Tiehua was about to pounce on him again, Ji Bingyan turned her head not wanting to argue with him, and saw Chu Liuxiang opened the door curtain and walked in, with a faint smile on her lips.

Ji Bingyan raised her eyebrows, "Why did you go out and feel so good?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, "I have encountered some interesting things."

"what's up?"

"Have you ever heard of... Han Gao undressing?"

"What?" Hu Tiehua, who finally joined the conversation, was puzzled.

The man came back to his senses, raised his hand to touch his nose, and said with a smile, "I said, I just remembered an allusion from Tang Shi."

Ji Bingyan, who was sitting by the side, immediately became interested, "Why, you just met a fairy while walking under the moon?"

Chu Liuxiang shook her head, but did not speak.Then Hu Tiehua yelled for Ji Bingyan to explain what Hangao Jiepei meant, but Ji Bingyan despised her level of education.

Several people were laughing, when suddenly someone outside the tent coughed dryly again, "Chu Xiangshuai, you guys haven't rested yet. Sorry to bother you again."

It turned out to be Wu Qingtian again. He smiled and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I interrupted you three to rest."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes were slightly closed, Mingrui's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled, "No trouble, Your Excellency is coming again, but there is still something important?"

"It's our eldest princess's marriage," Wu Qingtian wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a smile, "Although our princess prefers Chu Xiangshuai, parents still have the final say on the matter of marriage. And since Chu Xiangshuai just now Shuai has already refused, I don't know Hu..."

"Wait." Chu Liuxiang interrupted him by raising his hand.Wu Qingtian, whose words were suddenly interrupted, was stunned for a while, and saw the man in front of him staring at him with deep meaning for a few seconds, then chuckled, "When did I say I refused?"

Wu Qingtian was startled for a moment, and then suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Chu Xiangshuai, have you changed your mind?"

Chu Liuxiang's eyes swept over his beaming expression, turned around, and suddenly changed the subject, "Just now I felt that the tent was boring, so I went out for a walk."

Wu Qingtian was a little dazed for a moment, as if he didn't know why Chu Liuxiang suddenly brought up other matters, and tentatively answered, "Um, then what happened to you, Chu Xiangshuai?"

"Accidentally overheard the conversation of a few maids. I heard..." Chu Liuxiang's eyes fixed on his face, her voice was magnetic and clear, but it seemed to have deep meaning, "His Royal Highness still has an eldest daughter?"

The well-known swordsman's expression froze for a moment, and he said with a dry smile, "This is Chu Xiangshuai, where did you hear that?"

"Oh? Did I hear wrong?"

"It's not wrong..." Wu Qingtian forced a smile, "Our prince does have an eldest daughter."

The corners of Chu Liuxiang's lips lifted slightly, and he said calmly, "Then why have we never seen this princess before?"

Wu Qingtian apologized and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has always been weak, and she admires the culture of the Central Plains. She has a relatively quiet temperament and is not as lively as the Second Princess. She is not willing to meet foreigners. That's why you have never seen Chu Xiangshuai."

"So it is."

It seemed a little hot in the tent, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on Wu Qingtian's forehead.After saying these words, he seemed to become restrained all of a sudden, and his eyes kept sweeping back and forth under his feet.Chu Liuxiang stared at him intently for a moment, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she raised her eyebrows and said with a light smile, "Please tell His Highness the king that someone from Chu accepted his marriage proposal."

Wu Qingtian immediately raised his head and looked at him blankly, as if he hadn't reacted from this turning point.After several seconds, he was finally overjoyed, "Really? That's great! Chu Xiangshuai wait a moment, I'll tell the prince right away."

It wasn't until he opened the curtain and ran out that the other two in the tent recovered from this sudden change.

Hu Tiehua looked at Chu Liuxiang, then at Ji Bingyan.

"Did he just want to say that the marriage proposal was changed to me?"

Ji Bingyan answered him briefly, "Yes."

Hu Tiehua then glared at Chu Liuxiang, "Are you the one who cut me off suddenly?"

Ji Bingyan reminded coolly, "Chu Liuxiang was the one I fell in love with at first."

"But old bug, didn't you just refuse? Why did you change your mind after going out?"

"Of course I found out that the person who proposed the marriage was not Princess Pipa, but a fairy instead." Speaking of this, Ji Bingyan also became a little curious, "Princess Pipa is already a great beauty, and the person you meet will become a fairy What made you, Chu Liuxiang, change your mind and have a family and a career?"

Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "That's not all the reason."

"what is that?"

The man in blue stared and thought for a while, then said slowly, "I suspect that Shi Guanyin is here."

As soon as his words fell, Ji Bingyan's expression froze immediately, and Hu Tiehua almost jumped up from the bed.

"Shi Guanyin? Is she here?!"

"It's just a suspicion." Chu Liuxiang's eyes were quiet, and there was a slight undercurrent in his eyes, "It all depends on the wedding later."

After a while, Wu Qingtian hurried back again and said with a smile on his face, "I have already replied to my lord, and my lord is very happy to hear that you have agreed, Chu Xiangshuai. It's dark now, Chu Xiangshuai and you guys rest first , Tomorrow the prince will hold a banquet for the guests to celebrate, and by the way, discuss the wedding with you, Chu Xiangshuai."

Chu Liuxiang nodded with a smile, "I see, I will trouble you, Mr. Wu."

Wu Qingtian waved his hands again and again, "No trouble, no trouble, I'm honored to be a matchmaker for you, Chu Xiangshuai. It's really an honor, an honor."

Wu Qingtian came in a hurry, and left in a hurry after conveying the news.However, that night, Chu Liuxiang's tent seemed to be extremely lively. As soon as Wu Qingtian left, a person walked in.

"your Highness?"

The person who came was Princess Pipa, Chu Liuxiang looked at the person who came alone, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Princess Pipa stared at him with a pair of starry eyes like water, with an anxious expression on her face, "You agreed to my father's marriage proposal just now?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly.

Princess Pipa's expression changed, and she said eagerly, "But do you know that the marriage partner my father refers to is not me."

Chu Liuxiang looked at her quietly, this is really a very beautiful girl.She ran over in a hurry, with a thin layer of gauze covering her body, and her cloud-like bun was a little messy.In those bright eyes that faintly shone with water color, it seemed as if they had fallen into the light of stars.Chu Liuxiang looked at her quietly for two seconds, then suddenly smiled lightly, and said calmly, "I know it's not you."

Pipa's eyes widened in surprise, she looked at the man in front of her almost incredulously, opened her mouth, but her voice was intermittent because of being too surprised.

"You know it's not me, you still agree...you...do you know my sister..."

"your Highness."

The maid in Chinese clothes suddenly appeared and interrupted her. Princess Pipa suddenly turned her head, and her pupils shrank instantly when her gaze touched the maid's face.The maid in Huayi didn't seem to be aware of the weird atmosphere at this time. She saluted sternly, then straightened up, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please go over."

In the night wind, Princess Pipa's delicate body seemed to tremble.Then, she seemed to turn back into the well-behaved princess of the Kucha Kingdom, and nodded to the maid with a smile, "Okay, I see."

The maid in Huayi raised her hand as a gesture of invitation. Princess Pipa glanced at Chu Liuxiang who was standing quietly by the side, and stayed on his face for a second before turning around and leaving with the maid.

Watching the two go away, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua walked over from behind Chu Liuxiang.

"This is because the two princesses have taken a fancy to you? Old bug, your charm is really great."

Ji Bingyan glanced lightly at Hu Tiehua, who did not grasp the point as usual, and looked back at Chu Liuxiang with concern, "You have to be careful, that princess sounds weird."

Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly, with a calm expression on his face, "I know."
