Start practicing from marrying the disfigured princess

Then I thought about it.

As a sister-in-law, she would be secretly protected by Jin Yiwei wherever she went. How could the emperor not know her whereabouts? He just felt that there was no substantial contact between the two and turned a blind eye.

Thinking of this, don’t worry anymore.

Go back to the palace as soon as possible, just to see the father-in-law’s true face in advance.

Ren Pingsheng was no longer entangled, but Jin Yiwei began to be entangled: "His Royal Highness Yunhe wants to enter the palace with the Crown Prince? If the gang of officials who caught and scolded whomever saw them saw it, then it would be okay. I'm afraid that within a day, someone would be involved. Go online, impeach them, and bring disaster to the Holy One."

The Jin Yiwei looked at each other, wondering for a moment whether they should agree or not.

At this time.

Ren Pingsheng said: "You will send His Highness back to the palace first. I will arrive later."

Hearing this, Jinyiwei Qianhu glanced at Liu Yunmeng subconsciously. Seeing that she had no objection, he cupped his hands and said, "I understand this humble position!"

An hour later.

Qianqing Palace.

The eunuch wearing a python robe led Ren Pingsheng and Liu Yunmeng to the door of a study room.

Through a curtain, he whispered: "Your Majesty, His Highness Yunhe and the Prince of Zhenbei have arrived."

"Let them in."

"yes!"

The great eunuch's beardless face showed a gentle smile, and he bowed and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, please."

Liu Yunmeng was a little impatient, ignored the eunuch, opened the door curtain and walked in.

Ren Pingsheng nodded slightly and followed closely.

"Father, I almost never see you again, woo woo woo."

As soon as Liu Yunmeng entered the study, she grabbed the emperor's arm. Big tears fell down her cheeks like rain, her eyes were red, and her hair on her forehead was wet with sweat and looked slightly messy. I saw Yulian.

Ren Pingsheng entered the study. He wanted to salute immediately, but was interrupted by his sister-in-law. He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was doing. He bowed and said, "I, Ren Pingsheng, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Although the official system of the Zhou Dynasty has many similarities with the Ming Dynasty in Ren's life memory.

But the etiquette is slightly different. At least you don't have to kneel down to worship the emperor, which saves some time.

Ren Pingsheng stopped where he was and maintained his saluting posture. He heard the old emperor comfort his sister-in-law with his kind words and then said, "Please sit down."

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch held a bench with both hands, placed it behind Ren Pingsheng, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please sit down."

Only then did Ren Pingsheng realize that the seat was given to him, not to his sister-in-law. He saluted again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I already know what happened just now."

The emperor's deep and majestic voice sounded slowly.

Ren Pingsheng raised his eyes slightly and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a Chu yellow dragon robe, with a long beard, a majestic face, and deep and lively eyes that made people dare not look directly.

"It turns out that the old emperor is not too old. He doesn't look much older than dad."

Ren Pingsheng thought this in his heart and withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, the emperor's voice sounded again.

"I have ordered the Jinyi Guards and the Criminal Department to thoroughly investigate this matter. The issues you are worried about will be revealed soon."

Worry?

Referring to the identity and purpose of the assassin, and whether he will attack again?

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and replied calmly: "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor looked calmly, glanced at him, and then said: "The Jin Yiwei told me that the assassin is a fourth-level martial artist. I want to know, how did you kill him?"

Although the fourth grade has not yet entered the extraordinary realm, there is still an insurmountable gap between the fourth grade and the eighth grade.

An eighth-level warrior kills a fourth-level warrior.

It is equivalent to a monkey holding a wooden stick. It is almost impossible to kill a hunter who is fully armed and wearing an American style Iai.

Ren Pingsheng did not hesitate and told the truth: "Before coming to the capital, my father gave me a jade pendant and told me to carry it with me at all times to save my life. I was the assassin who killed the assassin with the help of the power of that jade pendant."

"Where is the jade pendant now?" the emperor asked again.

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been destroyed."

Ren Pingsheng said, enduring the pain, gritting his teeth and taking out a few jade fragments from his arms, holding them in his palms.

Beside the emperor, Liu Yunmeng felt heartbroken when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but said: "Your injury is not healed yet, so don't move."

I heard words of concern pretending to be calm in my ears.

The emperor took a deep look at Ren Pingsheng and said nothing. After a while, he said calmly: "You handled this matter very well. I will order the imperial doctor to treat your injury. As for the jade pendant, "

He looked at the eunuch on the side and ordered: "Wang Zheng, take him to the treasury to choose a magical weapon."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuch replied respectfully.

Is there any compensation?

Unexpectedly, the emperor was quite thoughtful.

Ren Pingsheng stood up and saluted again: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at him and said calmly: "It will be your personal greeting ceremony with Chang An in a few days. If there is nothing important, just stay at the house to avoid another accident."

Is he reminding me not to take my sister-in-law around and show off?

Or do you just want me to stay at your house?

Ren Pingsheng resisted not looking at his sister-in-law's expression, cupped his hands and said: "I obey the order."

The emperor glanced at him, opened his mouth, and was about to ask him to step back. Before he could speak, his daughter's voice came to his ears.

"Ren Pingsheng saved my son's life, can my father reward him with something?"

The words fell.

The study became quiet.

The emperor and Ren Pingsheng subconsciously looked at Liu Yunmeng.

Liu Yunmeng hugged the old emperor's arm and said coquettishly: "When I was young, my father taught me to repay my kindness. I have no ability and can't repay him. I can only let the best father in the world." The emperor's sons and ministers repaid the favor.

After this incident, I promise that I will be obedient and obedient in the future. I will do whatever my father tells me to do. From now on, I will come to the study every day to serve my father tea and water, and pat his back and shoulders."

After saying that, he walked around behind the emperor and gently squeezed his shoulders.

The emperor was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal. He glanced at Ren Pingsheng with a meaningful look, and after a while he said to his daughter: "If your father chooses a consort for you, will you be willing?"

Liu Yunmeng subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she saw Ren Pingsheng not far away, she stopped again. After thinking for a few seconds, she whispered: "It depends on who the father chooses."

The emperor said: "The grandson of Duke Dingguo is very handsome."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Yunmeng interrupted: "My son is unwilling."

"Liu, the left minister of the Ministry of official affairs."

"I don't want to."

This time, he was rejected by Liu Yunmeng before he even finished explaining his identity.

When the emperor heard this, he fell into silence. After a while, he said leisurely: "It seems that you have your heart set on something, and you are waiting for the emperor to call his name."

Every word has its own meaning.

aside.

Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt a little restless.

I muttered in my heart, what a broken bench, it’s not comfortable at all to sit on.

Liu Yunmeng glanced at Ren Pingsheng and saw that he was a little embarrassed. He curled his lips and whispered: "I only have my father in my heart. I will not marry anyone. I will stay with my father and mother concubine my whole life."

The words fell.

The room fell silent again.

I do not know how long it has been.

The emperor looked at the great eunuch on the side and ordered calmly: "Take him to pick two magic weapons."

"My slave obeys the order." The eunuch saluted hurriedly.

Ren Pingsheng couldn't figure out the emperor's emotions, and he was a little worried that Liu Yunmeng would be scolded by the emperor. He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty's reward, I am very grateful. It's just that I am a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I have been favored by the emperor to protect the royal bloodline." , is where the responsibility lies.”

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor.

"Giving you a magic weapon is not a reward from me."

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that the emperor meant that the extra magic weapon was given to him by his sister-in-law.

After hesitating for a moment, he saluted again: "I thank your majesty for your kindness, and thank your highness the princess for the reward!"

"Go down."

The emperor's solemn voice sounded.

Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated and saluted, "I take my leave."

Then, turn around and leave.

After he left.

The emperor looked at the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Take him to collect money."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The great eunuch saluted and left with Ren Shengsheng.

In the study.

Only the emperor and Princess Yun were left.

Liu Yunmeng felt a little uneasy when he saw that his father had been silent.

Just asking for a reward for Ren Shengsheng was an impromptu idea of ​​hers. Thinking about it now, it was too arrogant.

"Father."

After hesitating for a while, she decided to admit her mistake obediently. As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard her father sigh and say leisurely: "You are already old enough, it's time to leave the pavilion and open a mansion."

When Liu Yunmeng heard this, she suddenly panicked: "Father, I want to stay with you for a few more years. I don't want to get married."

The emperor said calmly: "It is not necessary to get married if you leave the pavilion and open a mansion."

Liu Yunmeng was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly reacted and said excitedly: "What does the father mean, that the son can have his own mansion outside the palace?"

According to the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When the prince or princess reaches a certain age, they can leave the palace and have their own mansion, which is called leaving the palace and opening a mansion.

The age for leaving the cabinet and opening a government is not fixed and depends on the emperor's wishes.

In some reigns, the prince must reach the crown before he can leave the cabinet.

In some reigns, the prince had already left the imperial court when he was eleven or twelve years old.

In most reigns, the princess could only leave the palace until she got married. Only a few princesses, with the title of princess, had their own mansion before getting married.

During the Zhaowu period, which is now, when the prince turns fifteen, he will leave the palace and open a palace.

And the princess.

The eldest princess Liu Ruyan has been delaying her decision to leave the pavilion and open a mansion.

That's why Liu Yunmeng subconsciously believed that leaving the pavilion and opening a house was equivalent to getting married.

Emperor Zhaowu heard the excitement in his daughter's tone, turned to look at her, and said with a half-smile, "Didn't you just say that you wanted to stay with your father for a few more years?"

Liu Yunmeng said coquettishly: "As long as you don't get married, you can still stay by your father's side even if you leave the palace and open a mansion."

Emperor Zhaowu sighed: "I'm afraid that after you leave the palace, you will forget that your father and mother are still in the palace."

"how could be"

Liu Yunmeng opened her mouth and wanted to say something else.

Emperor Zhaowu waved his hand and said: "Your mother-in-law heard that you were assassinated and couldn't eat. You go and see her to reassure her."

Hearing this, Liu Yunmeng had no choice but to give up, bowed and saluted, and said, "I will leave first. After a few days, I will come back to give my father a shoulder and a pat on his back."

A moment ago, I was serving tea and water, squeezing my shoulders and patting my back every day. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a few days later.

Emperor Zhaowu looked helpless and waved his hand.

Liu Yunmeng saw this and left the study with a smile on his face.

After she left.

Emperor Zhaowu sat on the dragon chair with a thoughtful look on his face and remained motionless for a long time.

A palace, a warehouse somewhere.

Several eunuchs were busy opening the door.

The great eunuch Wang Zheng stood behind them, looking at Ren Pingsheng with a harmless smile on his face, and said: "Each of the magic tools in this warehouse is extremely precious. The emperor has not given them to others for three years. Today, he has rewarded His Highness the Crown Prince with two in a row. His Highness the Crown Prince is really blessed."

Ren Pingsheng smiled and replied: "It is indeed a great blessing to be favored by the emperor."

You are grateful for what you have received.

Taking two magic tools from the emperor and flattering him is nothing.

Wang Zheng was smiling and wanted to say something, but he heard the eunuch's feminine voice behind him.

"Grandpa, the door is open."

Wang Zheng's face changed, stared at the eunuch, and said coldly: "You blind thing, you didn't see the prince here, and you didn't salute the prince first, what are you shouting."

The eunuch suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, facing Ren Pingsheng, trembling and said: "I am blind, I..."

"It doesn't matter."

Ren Pingsheng waved his hand, interrupted him, looked at the eunuch, and smiled: "The wind is strong, I didn't hear what he said clearly. By the way, does the eunuch Wang have something important to do? If you don't have anything to do, can you accompany me to take a look."

It's easy to know that the magic tools collected by the royal family must be dazzling.

As the eunuch, Wang Zheng must know more about these magic tools than him, and it's good to have him accompany him for reference.

"If the emperor doesn't summon us, we will have nothing to do. Your Highness, please come in."

Wang Zheng stood at the door of the warehouse and made a gesture of invitation.

Ren Pingsheng stopped talking nonsense and walked into the warehouse.

The warehouse is about the same size as the Jinshen Hall. There are many wooden shelves and cabinets inside, on which are various objects.

Knives, swords, axes, halberds, jade pendants, hairpins, belts, kites, folding fans, mirrors...

In short.

Weapons, jewelry, and sundries are all available.

"Are these all magic weapons?" Ren Pingsheng asked.

"All of them." Wang Zheng replied.

Ren Pingsheng picked up a piece of white paper from the shelf and asked, "Is this also a magic weapon?"

Wang Zheng nodded: "Yes."

"What is it used for?" Ren Pingsheng asked curiously.

Wang Zheng explained: "This thing is called the Holy Page, which can be injected with righteousness and used as a weapon."

It turned out to be used by Confucian scholars.

Ren Pingsheng looked enlightened, put down the white paper, looked around, and didn't know what to choose.

After thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "Which magic weapon here is the most precious?"

Wang Zhengdao: "My Lord, the magic weapons stored in this warehouse are all suitable for cultivators of the sixth rank and below, and their preciousness is almost the same."

Ren Pingsheng was slightly startled, and subconsciously said, "Didn't you just say that the magic weapons here are extremely precious?"

In his eyes, if it is suitable for the sixth rank and below, how precious can it be.

Wang Zhengdao: "For cultivators below the sixth rank, it is indeed extremely precious."

"."

Ren Pingsheng's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while.

I thought the emperor was very generous, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy.

More than stingy.

The magic weapon suitable for the sixth rank cultivator has not been given out for three years. This is a Pixiu, only in and not out.

That's it.

Anyway, I didn't plan to reward it, it's good to have it.

Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart and began to look for a magic weapon suitable for him in the warehouse.

After an incense stick

Ren Pingsheng saw something that looked like an iron pot on the shelf and asked, "What is this?"

Wang Zheng looked at the thing, thought for a few seconds, and replied, "What it is, I don't know, I only know that it is a good omen presented by the Qinghai County Government, saying that the water that has been filled with it will become extremely sweet.

After the sorcerer of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory checked it, he found that it had spiritual charm and could be used as an alchemy furnace, so he sent it to the palace."

Can it be used as an alchemy furnace?

Ren Pingsheng's eyes lit up.

The alchemy furnace in his room can only refine low-quality elixirs such as Xiongfeng Pills. If he refines better elixirs, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

I originally planned to earn enough money to buy a better alchemy furnace at Baiyun Temple, but now it seems that this can be used as a substitute.

"Eunuch Wang, is there an alchemy furnace specifically for refining medicine in the warehouse?"

In order to avoid missing out on better ones, Ren Pingsheng asked.

Wang Zheng shook his head: "I don't remember."

Then this one!

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Does this thing have a name?"

Wang Zheng said: "The Imperial Observatory named it Xuanling Pot."

It is dark in color, with spiritual charm inside, and the name is very realistic in its shape like a pot.

Ren Pingsheng took the Xuanling Pot and looked at it for a while, and said: "The first one is this."

After a pause, he said: "By the way, this thing is not convenient for this prince to hold. Can you trouble the eunuch Wang to send someone to send it to Ren's house?"

"Of course." Wang Zheng said with a smile.

"That's good."

Ren Pingsheng nodded, looked around again, and searched.

After a while, he looked through the things in the room and found that there was nothing special except this Xuanling Pot and a broken knife.

According to the routine in the novel, the more bizarre the things are, the more likely they are rare treasures.

For example, the black iron ruler.

For example...Ren Pingsheng couldn't think of any examples for a while.

In short, take those that no one wants!

Hmm.

If you think about it carefully, it may not be the case. It mainly depends on whether you are the protagonist of the novel. If you are the protagonist, whatever you get is a treasure.

If you are not the protagonist, no matter if the things you get are ordinary or strange, they are useless.

Ren Pingsheng thought wildly for a while, but finally came to the broken knife and asked, "What is this?"

When Wang Zheng saw Ren Pingsheng coming to Duandao, his expression froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and he said in a gentle tone as always: "Hui Shizi, this is a knife."

"."

Ren Pingsheng glanced at him sideways and said nothing.

Wang Zheng saw this and continued: "This sword has no name, and I don't know what's special about it."

Gone?

Ren Pingsheng was a little surprised and asked: "Then why was it put into the treasure house?"

Wang Zhengdao: "Our family doesn't know either. We only know that this knife has been here since the records were recorded in the warehouse."

Isn't this the cliche in novels where others don't want me as a treasure?

A perfect destiny weapon!

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng no longer hesitated and said decisively: "That's it!"

When Wang Zheng heard this, there was a look of shock in his eyes, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty, there are many other weapons in this warehouse."

"No need, that's it." Ren Pingsheng said firmly.

There are indeed many weapons in the warehouse, most of which have been specially forged and can withstand the intensity of the battle between sixth-grade monks.

However, Ren has no shortage of weapons of this level in his life.

Not to mention the swords suitable for sixth-grade monks, even the fourth-grade swords, there are several in the north.

There is no point in using these useless magic weapons. It is better to give it a try and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

If you can't change your motorcycle, it's just like paying tuition.

Let him recognize the reality. He is not the protagonist of the novel, and not just picking up anything is a peerless treasure.

When Wang Zheng heard this, his expression became a little complicated, but soon returned to normal, and he asked pretending to be curious: "There are so many weapons in the warehouse, why did the Crown Prince choose this broken sword?"

Ren Pingsheng showed the demeanor of a master, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Somehow, I have a destiny with this sword."

The words fell.

Wang Zheng felt a wave of turmoil in his heart, his mouth opened slightly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

now.

Ren Pingsheng finally noticed Wang Zheng's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong with Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Zheng took a deep breath to calm down, regained his gentle smile, and said, "It's nothing. I just feel that His Royal Highness has extraordinary vision and his future will be limitless."

Ren Pingsheng said: "I have no great ambitions, and I don't care about my future. As long as I can watch over my wife and children, that's fine."

Wang Zheng smiled and said nothing.

"Eunuch Wang, after choosing the magic weapon, do you still want to go back to thank me?"

"That's not necessary. According to His Majesty's wishes, His Highness can return home to rest."

"Since I'm injured, I'll have to ask the prince to send someone for those two magic weapons."

"His Royal Highness is serious about matters within his duties."

"Farewell."

"His Royal Highness, walk slowly."

After exchanging a few words.

Ren Pingsheng stepped out of the warehouse and walked outside the palace.

Wang Zheng watched Ren Pingsheng leave, not daring to delay for a moment, and immediately rushed to Qianqing Palace.

After a while.

Qianqing Palace, study room.

Wang Zheng recounted exactly what happened in the warehouse just now.

Emperor Zhaowu was sitting on the dragon throne. The more he listened, the more complicated his expression became.

"The slave asked Prince Zhenbei why he chose that broken sword. He said that that sword was destined to him."

The words fell.

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes flashed with light, and his tone suddenly became stern: "Did he really say that?"

Wang Zhengdao: "I don't dare to speak nonsense. It is destined by fate, and those are his true words."

The words fell.

There was a long silence in the study.

I do not know how long it has been.

A long sigh sounded.

Emperor Zhaowu looked towards the north with an extremely complicated expression and murmured to himself: "Could it be that I was really wrong back then?"

The sun sets.

Ren Pingsheng finally returned to Ren Mansion before the curfew.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he took a few steps and saw several guards and maids talking and laughing, cutting red paper together.

One of the guards saw Ren Pingsheng and got up in a hurry.

The next second I saw his tightly wrapped shoulders, my expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty!"

Just two words contain a variety of emotions, including shock, anger, and guilt.

After hearing this, the other guards turned their heads subconsciously and saw Ren Pingsheng's shoulders, with the same expression on their faces.

"Your Majesty, are you injured? Who hurt you? I want to tear him into pieces!"

Although I know that the guards said this out of anger.

But Ren Pingsheng still felt that he was second-rate and full of shame.

"It's just a minor injury. It only takes a few days to recover. The assassin is dead, so you don't need to take action."

One of the guards looked guilty: "It's all because of the low-level job and failure to protect His Highness."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ren Pingsheng:

"This prince wants to go out alone, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Besides, you guys are useless, and together you are not enough to kill me with one blow.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it with my mouth. I just said: "You bitch, you are so disgusting, get out of here!"

When several guards heard this, their expressions were still guilty, but they didn't say anything else.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the maids and asked, "What are you doing cutting red paper?"

The maid hurriedly replied: "In a few days, His Highness will welcome you personally. I would like to make some preparations in advance so that you won't be in a hurry."

Ren Pingsheng was startled when he heard this.

He originally thought that since his parents were not coming, he would be alone in the capital, and he could just decorate the house casually.

However, at this moment, seeing these guards and maids, he realized that the guards were all from the Zhenbei Palace, and the maids were all from the northern border.

Since his parents were not here, they were also his natal family and his husband's family.

It was time to prepare well.

Not only for himself and them, but also for Chang'an.

That day in Tingfeng Pavilion, he had already hurt people's feelings. Now if he didn't pay attention to the wedding ceremony, wouldn't it be a formality?

That's all he thought about.

Ren Pingsheng looked at a guard and ordered: "Let Li Yong take out two thousand taels of silver and buy more red lanterns, red candles, red paper, and red dates and peanuts. Anyway, prepare everything that should be there."

The maid whispered: "Two thousand taels is too much, so we don't need that much silver."

Ren Pingsheng said: "The rest will be used to buy fireworks."

With a wave of his hand, he didn't feel sorry for spending two thousand taels of silver.

The reason is very simple.

When Chunfengtang expands production, one thousand taels of silver will be just a hair on the body of a nine-oxen, not worth caring about at all.

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while, and said: "Take another thousand taels of silver and give each of you a red envelope."

Including the maids, there are forty or fifty people in the mansion, and twenty taels of silver per person is not a small amount.

After hearing this, several maids all showed surprise on their faces and said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord!"

Ren Pingsheng gave a few more instructions casually, stepped into the yard, and saw a unicorn costume at first sight. He was surprised and said: "Miss Xiao left so early today?"

"I came back early because there was nothing to do in the government office."

After Xiao Rongxue finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at him.

Seeing his tightly wrapped shoulders, he stood up suddenly, frowned, and said coldly: "What happened?"

Ren Pingsheng said: "It's nothing serious, just met an assassin."

"Who sent it?" Xiao Rongxue asked.

Ren Pingsheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the mastermind behind the scenes should be a big shot."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Rongxue asked again.

"The assassin is a fourth-grade warrior." Ren Pingsheng said lightly.

Xiao Rongxue was slightly stunned, his mouth slightly opened, and it took a long time for him to react. He said in disbelief: "If the assassin is really a fourth-grade warrior, how could you survive?!"

As a fifth-grade warrior.

Miss Xiao knows the strength of a fourth-grade warrior better than Ren Pingsheng.

If a genuine fourth-grade warrior wants to kill Ren Pingsheng, it will only take a moment.

Without any defense, Ren Pingsheng has no time to react at all.

"So I think his mission is not assassination, but kidnapping. Princess Yunhe was there at the time, but he didn't kill her, and there is no other information. It's hard to figure out his purpose for a while."

Xiao Rongxue was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Did you use the life-saving method your father left for you?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded and said: "I didn't plan to use it at first, but then I felt something was wrong and used it immediately. Now I think about it and I'm a little scared."

Xiao Rongxue hesitated for a few seconds, took out a jade pendant from his arms, put it on the table, and said indifferently: "This thing, you will carry it with you in the future."

Ren Pingsheng was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Rongxue: "Is this what your father gave you?"

"If I tell you to take it, you can take it, why are you talking so much nonsense." Xiao Rongxue said impatiently.

Ren Pingsheng picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it with his fingers. He found that the material was exactly the same as the one his father gave him. He muttered to himself: "This jade pendant is not mass-produced, right? The old man didn't give me a few more."

Xiao Rongxue's mouth twitched, and he explained: "This is a pure northern cold jade, which is extremely rare and can carry the spiritual energy of a third-grade warrior."

No wonder.

Wait? Northern cold jade?

Ren Pingsheng endured the pain and took off the jade pendant from his waist, saying: "I have another one, which I got from the Jinyiwei."

Xiao Rongxue reached out to take the jade pendant, rubbed it twice, shook his head and said: "There are too many impurities. Even if a third-grade warrior infuses spiritual energy, it can only reach the sixth grade."

"Okay."

Ren Pingsheng took back his own jade pendant and said: "Keep the jade pendant your father gave you. I still have a way to save my life."

Xiao Rongxue didn't say anything, but looked at him with a suspicious look.

Ren Pingsheng said helplessly: "You don't think that my father dared to let me come to the capital alone, so he only gave me a jade pendant to save my life?"

He said this, but he was complaining in his heart.

That's right! That's the fact! My father is so confident in me!

The remaining means of saving my life were exchanged from the Taoist Master by me using the Eternal Alchemy Technique.

"That's right."

Xiao Rongxue replied, reached out to take back the jade pendant, and stuffed it into his arms.

Afterwards, he took out a black iron token, put it on the table, and said indifferently: "I will go out of the city to clear out the bandits in a few days, and I may not be able to catch up with your wedding banquet. This is my gift, you accept it."

Hearing this, Ren Pingsheng fell silent.

After a while, he picked up the iron token, looked at it from both sides, and found it was ordinary, so he asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Rongxue said, "Wulin Token. When the knights of Wulin League see this token, they will know that you are a fellow traveler."

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a few seconds, and said, "It seems... It's useless to me?"

Let's not talk about the fact that the headquarters of Wulin League is in Jiangzhou in the south.

Just say that with his identity as the prince of Zhenbei, why should he go to Wulin League to seek recognition?

If holding this token means being the son-in-law of Wulin League leader, that's another matter.

After all.

The leader of the martial arts world is also a big shot in the supernatural realm.

"Ren Pingsheng"

Xiao Rongxue looked at Ren Pingsheng, with a serious expression, and said word by word: "What I give you is not based on what you want, nor on what is useful to you, but on what I have."

In other words, the only thing of value on your body, besides the jade pendant, is this token?

Please.

Is this something to be proud of?

Ren Pingsheng's eyes twitched, and after calming down, he imitated her, with a serious expression, and said word by word: "If you say that I have given you everything I have, I might be moved."

"Do you want it?"

Xiao Rongxue reached out to take the token back.

"Yes!"

Ren Pingsheng was quick and got the token first, which involved the wound on his shoulder, and he instantly grimaced in pain.

"Hiss——"

"You deserve it." Xiao Rongxue glanced at him coldly, stood up and was about to go back to his yard.

Seeing this, Ren Pingsheng hurriedly said, "Don't go yet!"

Xiao Rongxue stopped and turned to look at him, with no expression on her face.

Ren Pingsheng said seriously, "If possible, I still hope you can come on the day of the wedding ceremony."

After saying that, he sighed in his heart and said leisurely, "After all, I only have you as a friend in the capital."

Xiao Rongxue sneered, "Then what is your sister-in-law Liu Yunmeng? Didn't you two go to Tingfeng Pavilion together on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival?"

You know all this?

Are you following me?

Ren Pingsheng suddenly felt embarrassed, laughed awkwardly, and said, "You also said that she is a sister-in-law, different from you."

Xiao Rongxue crossed her arms and sneered at him.

"Why do you look at me like this? She and I are innocent, as the sun and the moon can testify."

Ren Pingsheng always felt that Xiao Rongxue's smile was thorny, and he couldn't help but defend himself.

Xiao Rongxue said coldly, "Did I say that there is no innocence between you?"

Ren Pingsheng was silent for a moment.

"A guilty conscience."

Xiao Rongxue muttered, turned around and was about to leave. Halfway through, she seemed to think of something, turned her head and looked at him, and said indifferently: "By the way, Miss Qingying who died in Tingfeng Pavilion that day, the coroner found that she had been dead for more than three years."

Ren Pingsheng was shocked when he heard this.

More than three years dead?

Then why did someone see Miss Qingying during this period?

What was the purpose of Miss Qingying going to Tingfeng Pavilion?

Is it related to me and my sister-in-law?

Even.

Is it because my sister-in-law and I went to Tingfeng Pavilion because we were affected by something?

Various speculations came one after another, and for a while, Ren Pingsheng's mind was a mess.

At this time.

Xiao Rongxue said again: "Miss Qingying's matter cannot be explained for a while. Anyway, you should be more careful on weekdays and don't run around. If someone kills you before you go to meet her, Princess Chang'an will become a poor widow."

After speaking, he walked towards the courtyard next door.

Ren Pingsheng heard this and opened his mouth, wanting to ask what happened to Miss Qingying.

Then he thought, Xiao Rongxue must have her reasons for not wanting to tell him.

Sometimes, it is better not to know than to know.

What's more, this sentence might just be made up by Xiao Rongxue to scare him because she was angry about his marriage with Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng stopped struggling and went back to the main room, took out the herbs and the alchemy furnace, and planned to refine a few rejuvenating pills.

That's right.

It was the rejuvenating pill that Xiao Rongxue had sold him for 100 taels of silver before.

Although this thing is a low-grade pill, it is very effective in treating external injuries.

Take one pill every day, and on the day of the wedding, you will be able to recover to the state of carrying the bride into the sedan chair, and there will be no problem.

Speaking of which.

Did the wedding ceremony of the Great Zhou Dynasty include carrying the bride?

Ren Pingsheng began to refine pills while thinking about it.

In the next few days.

In addition to practicing, refining pills, combing veins, and healing injuries, Ren Pingsheng did not go out of the door or the second door every day.

Until this day.

The twenty-first year of Zhaowu.

May 13th.

Wuwu month, Jiwei day.

Suitable for marriage and travel.
