The demon concubine of rebirth, you have been tricked by gl

On the second day of coming to Huaqing Palace, Yan Wanting disappeared for a whole day.

The people in Huaqing Palace said that His Highness had left the palace to wander around, but Xia Qiulian knew it was just an excuse.

Because they also disappeared with Ci and Fu'an, they actually didn't go anywhere, but went to Tianji Valley.

No one would have guessed that the hidden building of the most mysterious power in the rivers and lakes, the main building that countless people want to find, is at the bottom of the cliff behind the Royal Huaqing Palace.

The cliff is bottomless, and there is a perennial white mist underneath. Just standing on the edge of the cliff can make people tremble with fear.

But if you are lucky enough to find the mechanism leading to the bottom of the cliff, enter the cave, and walk for half an hour to find the legendary Tianji Valley, the headquarters of the hidden building.

A secluded paradise.

Yan Wanting took Xia Qiulian to the valley twice, and Xia Qiulian was amazed by the beautiful scenery.

The four seasons in the valley are like birds singing and flowers fragrant, thin green grass grows on the soft flat ground, and wild flowers of various colors protrude from the emerald green.

Tianji Valley is divided into two by a winding and clear stream, one side is full of green bamboos, and simple and exquisite pavilions and lofts stand in it.

The other half is occupied by flowers, plants and trees everywhere, and some rare medicinal materials are planted everywhere. From time to time, there are women wearing green clothes, carrying a medicine basket and holding a small hoe, singing happily while picking medicine.

When Xia Qiulian went there for the first time, she thought it was a secluded paradise, but she never expected that it was the headquarters of the most mysterious force in the world.

Although he knew and understood that Yan Wanting didn't take her to Tianji Valley because he was just on guard against her, but he was still a little bit disappointed in his heart.

The book on the case could no longer be read after a few pages, so Xia Qiulian simply wanted to go out for a walk.

Although Qingzhou was much warmer than Yanfei City, it was still a bit cold after all. Qingyuan put a thin cloak on Xia Qiulian.

But no matter where he went, any small thing that caught his eye could bring back Xia Qiulian's memories.

In the previous life, he had a lot of scruples in the palace, even if he was as free and easy as Yan Wanting, he would restrain himself a little, but it is different in Huaqing Palace, Huaqing Palace is the site of Yan Wanting.

Every time she brought Xia Qiulian to Huaqing Palace, she wished she could be like a creeper, lying on Xia Qiulian's body and bringing all kinds of strange things from outside to make Xia Qiulian happy.

Xia Qiulian walked slowly, and walked outside a pavilion, saw the lanterns hanging on the four corners of the pavilion, and suddenly remembered that once, Yan Banting put on men's clothes and took her to the Lantern Festival to guess lantern riddles.

The Lantern Festival in Qingzhou has always been the most anticipated festival for young men and women. On that day, the sons and daughters of each family will freshen up, choose the most beautiful and favorite lantern from the vendor, and write their name and birthday. Wish, throw it into the moat, and then wait downstream.

When the water flow is slightly turbulent, some lanterns will be entangled accidentally.

People in Qingzhou feel that this is the red thread drawn by the old man in the dark. If the entwined lanterns are a man and a woman, and the other party sees the right way, they can directly come to propose marriage and achieve a marriage.

That day Yan Wanting went with Xia Qiulian, and when she put the lanterns into the water, she secretly entangled Xia Qiulian's lanterns with hers, and secretly told Xia Qiulian to go downstream with her.

In the end, I don't know if the water flow was too fast, and their lanterns were thrown away, and Xia Qiulian's lanterns became entangled with those of a stranger.

That is a handsome young man.

As soon as he saw his name next to the lantern Xia Qiulian was holding, he blushed, stammered and praised Xia Qiulian's long beauty, and then asked which family Xia Qiulian was from.

Yan Banting stood aside with a dark face, grabbed the lantern in Xia Qiulian's hand domineeringly, glanced at the man, and said in a rough voice.

"You have misunderstood the person, I am Xia Qiulian, this young master, I think you are fair-skinned, you might as well make do with me."

It wasn't until the boy ran away in a hurry, his face pale and trembling, that he was satisfied.

Whispering, he lowered his head and forcibly entangled his lantern with Xia Qiu's face, and then heaved a sigh of relief, pulling Xia Qiu's face and pretending to be shy.

"Qiu Lian, did you see that Yuelao has already led the red line for us."

These dusty past events, whether joyful or heavy, floated in Xia Qiulian's mind, as clearly as if it was yesterday.

With a bit of melancholy on her face, she leaned against the edge of the pavilion, looking down at the sorrowful reflection on the ripples of the lake.

Qing Yuan stood aside, attracted by the plump red carp in the lake, walked over and lay down on the railing, stretched out her hand across the water, staring curiously at the water.

"Miss, look at the many fish, bigger than Qingyuan's arms."

The master and the servant were all staring at the lake, not even noticing the approaching sound.

Xia Qiulian, who had always had an amazing hearing, was in a complicated state of mind at this moment, and was lost in memories again, and she didn't even notice the sound of human footsteps.

It wasn't until the man suddenly made a sound that the two of them realized it.

"My servant, I have seen the concubine Xian."

The girl Zhaoxiu was tall and slim, wearing a blue dress with a white gauze on her face, she looked at Xia Qiulian with a smile in her eyes.

For some reason, in a trance, Xia Qiulian felt that Zhao Xiu was looking at her with earnest eyes.

Xia Qiulian stood up, nodded slightly, and then asked.

"Did Zhaoxiu girl also get up so early?"

Zhao Xiu bowed his head, with a somewhat respectful attitude.

"My family, Jun Xiaozui, has long been used to going to bed late and getting up early, and some guests always come to the restaurant early in the morning."

Xia Qiulian seemed to have never understood Zhao Xiu's life experience. At this time, she pondered for a moment, then raised her head and smiled slightly, and asked.

"Presumably, the days of wandering in the rivers and lakes are not easy. Why is Zhaoxiu girl wandering alone, and how can her relatives and friends at home be willing?"

Zhao Xiu was stunned, her expression was a little dazed, she smiled bitterly, lowered her head and her voice was slightly lowered.

"Although the family background is good, the parents in the family only treat their daughters as weeds. They fight and scold them on weekdays, and never care for them. The only sister who is good to the family is also forced to leave by them. He sneaked out and wandered around in the rivers and lakes. After several turns, he was lucky enough to go to Jun Xiaozui and met Boss Jun. He also met His Royal Highness Princess and Concubine Xian.

Hearing this, Xia Qiulian sighed softly.

"I didn't expect Zhaoxiu girl to be so strong, but the past is over, and now Zhaoxiu girl is Jun Xiaozui's signature, and she must not be controlled by others like she used to be."

But is it true that most women in the world have similar misery, Xia Qiulian always feels that Zhaoxiu's past is very similar to Ye Zhaoyin's.

Even the name has something...

Ye Zhaoyin, Zhaoxiu.

Looking at Xia Qiulian's thoughtful appearance, Zhao Xiu sighed.

"As a woman, I'm already controlled by others. But now, it's better than before. It's just that I want to find my sister, but I can't see her again."

Xia Qiulian asked suddenly.

"Although it's a bit offensive, I'm still a little curious. I don't know if Miss Zhaoxiu is from Yan State or Jiang State."

Zhao Xiu lowered his head and smiled lightly, then raised his head after a long while, looking at Xia Qiulian with a pair of smiling eyes, with a bit of sadness.

"The slave family comes from the place where the mother came from."

"You are from Jiang Country.?"

Xia Qiulian frowned slightly, her expression was cold, she quietly looked at Zhao Xiu, and after a while, she spoke softly.

"What is your purpose for approaching His Highness?"

Zhao Xiu raised his hand to cover his lips and smiled softly, saying in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, can it be possible, have you forgotten that you are also from Jiang Guo? The reason why my family is close to Princess Yan is for Jiang Guo. Isn't it your Majesty?"

Xia Qiulian's expression changed slightly, and she raised her eyes to look around.

Chaoxiu knew that Xia Qiulian was worried that the wall had ears, so he said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants who followed have already left."

Xia Qiulian nodded, her eyebrows narrowed slightly.

"Jiang Xunyan sent you here?"

Zhao Xiu nodded.

"Before the empress came to the country of Yan, the second prince had already sent slaves to approach the Princess of the country of Yan."
