In the spring garden, clusters of peonies are blooming, each showing its beauty, and three or two colorful butterflies are flying around, dancing gracefully. A white jade railing stands in front of the flowers, and a woman sits on the railing. It can be seen that she is exquisite and slender, wearing a simple and elegant light yellow dress. Under the long skirt, there are no silk shoes, but a pair of jade-like bare feet, which are swinging comfortably, with one hand propped on the railing and the other hanging down. On her lap, there is a mountain snow jade hairpin between her fingers. Both the fingers and the hairpin are white jade in color, and it is pleasing to the eye. Her head is slightly tilted to the right, and her long hair is half tied and half loose, which can be discerned. It was combed with elegant mist and wind, but for some reason it fell loose, as if a wind had blown it, so that half of her hair was blowing behind her, and the other half was blowing on the railing.With clear eyebrows and graceful eyes, her demeanor is like a willow, and her demeanor is three parts elegant, three parts casual, three parts lazy, plus a little bit of fun, inadvertently, it seems to be more uninhibited.

"Such a windy evening is rare." Suddenly a voice sounded, Hua Chunran was startled, the brush in his hand dropped, a hand stretched out in mid-air, and easily took the paintbrush in his hand. "It's you." Hua Chunran let out a soft breath, calming down his chaotic heartbeat, "It's so late, why hasn't the son-in-law rested yet?" "Didn't the princess take a break?" Huang Chao smiled and put the paintbrush back on the pen holder, "Did it scare you?" "No...no." Hua Chunran unconsciously squeezed his hand lightly, then regained his composure, and asked with a slight smile, "Is there anything the son-in-law can do with Chunran?"

Unexpectedly, Huangchao didn't answer, instead he picked up the portrait on the table and studied it carefully, nodding his head while looking at it, "Princess, this painting shows the charm of wind and evening, I think the princess really regards it as a lifelong confidant." "Who in the world can resist a character like Miss Feng, who can't help but fall in love with it, is what Chunran said right?" Hua Chunran stood up gracefully, looked at the person in the painting together with Huangchao, and finally gave Wangchao a meaningful look. "Is the world overwhelmed? Well, indeed." The dynasty did not refute, as if forgetting that the person next to him was a peerless beauty with an unparalleled face that made the world overwhelmed. He put the portrait back on the table, picked up the brush, and spread another A piece of drawing paper, "Princess must have never seen such a windy evening, right?"

He started to write and put his pen down, concentrating on it. In less than a moment, another wind and night appeared vividly on the paper. "This is..." Hua Chunran looked at the person in the painting in astonishment, is that Feng Xi? The person in the painting is dressed in silver armor, standing high on the city wall, holding a longbow in his hand, with an imposing arrogance between his brows, his eyes are quietly and brightly staring at the front, as if the coach is reviewing her The majesty of thousands of troops, the grace and calmness of a king looking down on her territory, against the flying banners behind her, if she wants to spread her wings and soar to the nine heavens, the phoenix is ​​so peerless and independent!

"This is Miss Feng? How is she..." Hua Chunran looked at Huangchao suspiciously, and a feeling suddenly rose in his heart, which seemed hot and cold at the same time. "This is Bai Fengxi whom the princess calls her confidant, but she is also the princess Xiyun who created Fengyunqi, and even more so - the current queen of Fengguo!" Dynasty spit out lightly, looking at Hua Chunran with a calm expression, the corners of his lips Even evoked a slight smile. "Her? Princess Xiyun? The queen of Fengguo?" Hua Chunran stared back at the woman in the painting like a phoenix, and then glanced at the portrait he drew on the table. To the extreme, Feng Xi in that painting seems to be satirizing himself with that interesting expression, laughing at his ignorance!

"Princess didn't expect it?" Huang Chao sat down on the chair on the table, looked at Hua Chunran with extremely soft and quiet eyes, his voice was clear and clear, but the words he spit out were like needles, and the stabbing was also light and long , "Princess must not have imagined that Mr. Fengxi is Mr. Lanxi from Fengguo, right?" "Master Lanxi?" Hua Chunran's eyes fell on Huang Chao's face, he seemed a little puzzled, a little dazed, but his voice was so calm. "That's right, Bai Feng Hei Xi, the famous heroes of the Jianghu, are actually Princess Xiyun and Young Master Lan Xi." The tone of the dynasty is still calm.

"Princess Xiyun...Master Lanxi...they are them..." Hua Chunran repeated mechanically, with a look of obsession, as if subconsciously or unconsciously sitting back in the chair, "No wonder... no wonder They know so much... Poetry, proficiency in six arts, knowledge of a hundred schools of thought, knowledge of weapons and swords... No matter how many people in the world know, but that kind of bearing... that kind of mind is unpredictable... I never thought of it? Hehe... ...It's really interesting..." Hua Chunran suddenly laughed softly, "I actually still...haha..."

The laughter is as crisp as a nightingale's light cry, her tender body trembles slightly like a flower branch, her jade hand is lifted lightly, and the white teeth that are just half exposed are hidden behind the sleeves, her willow eyebrows are slightly raised, and her eyes are overflowing, so delicate and tactful, as if A branch of peony blooming in the morning, still showing a little dew. Huang Chao looked at her quietly, as if looking at a precious picture of a beauty, watching the beauty in the picture, every word, gesture, and every action, without revealing the trace of anger and sadness in that smile, and the eyes that could not be restrained. There was a touch of bitterness and astringency... But he just watched, calmly, as if watching a chess game, all the pieces moved according to his finger, and everything was in the palm of his hand.

"Is the son-in-law here to tell me this?" Hua Chunran finally stopped laughing, sitting upright, her delicate face still looked at the dynasty with a hint of a smile, her expression was calm and elegant, as if neither the words nor the smile just came from to her. "Haha..." At this moment, Huang Chao laughed again, "Chao Guo saw the princess right." Hua Chunran looked at the smiling Dynasty quietly. The moment he smiled, it was like a sunrise in the east, shining brightly, and the lights in the room were covered by it. The nobility and arrogance of the king between his eyebrows made people Involuntarily lowering his head, a pair of golden-brown eyes always seemed to be shining with a piercing golden glow, always so clear and rational, as if he had never seen bewilderment and loss, as if everything was under control In his palm, there is always such confidence and arrogance... This man is the eldest son of the imperial kingdom, the future king of the imperial kingdom, and her husband... Why is it so strange?

"I remember the princess once said that the husband and wife are one, and the family and the country are safe." Huang Chao smiled, stood up and held Hua Chunran's hand, Hua Chunran stood up involuntarily, it seemed that he realized at this time that he was so tall, and he was only as tall as his shoulders, looking up, that face... Those facial features are so handsome and perfect, as if carefully carved by a god. When those golden-brown eyes look at you intently, the dazzling golden light seems to be able to confuse people, making you lost for a moment, as if you just Just listen to him and obey him.

"Yes, in the past, Chunran once said to the son-in-law, 'Your home country is my home country, and my home country is your home country'." Hua Chunran looked at Huang Chao with gentle eyes, and the fingers held in Huang Chao's hand The tip trembled slightly. "So Chao has a gift for the princess." Huang Chao took something out of his sleeve and placed it in Hua Chunran's palm, with a gentle and dignified expression, just like a husband entrusting his family treasure to his wife for safekeeping. "This is..." Hua Chunran looked at the black, icy long order in his hand, and when he saw the words on the order, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and looked at the dynasty in disbelief, "Is this Xuanzun's order? !" "Yes, this is the Xuanzun Token that everyone in the world wants to get, the Xuanzun Token that is the symbol of the emperor!" Huang Chao said with a faint smile, as if what he gave was just an ordinary gift, so casual and unrestrained. Take it easy. "You gave it to me?" Hua Chunran looked at the order in his hand, and then at the Dynasty. After confirmation, a burst of ecstasy welled up in his heart in an instant, but immediately after that, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in that joy. Feel. "You and I are one, this is mine, and it is yours." Huang Chao held Hua Chunran's hand together with the Xuanzun Token. At that moment, his expression was gentle, sincere, and solemn. Yes, that simple word is like an oath. Hua Chunran stared blankly at the Xuanzun Token in her hand, at the pair of big hands holding her hands, those hands were warm, but the Token was cold, just like her heart at the moment, joy and sorrow, Hot and cold are mixed, looking up, looking at that face, looking at such a gentle expression, can't help but feel a little dazed. This person, from the first time we met, although his talent and appearance were so outstanding, his aura always made her stop, and she dared not show any disrespect to him, let alone have the slightest disrespect. Fu Ni, although he has always respected her very much, and he can even be said to be more kind and polite than everyone else, but even so, she is still a little in awe, even in front of her father, she has never done this before.But at this moment, his expression is so sincere, his tone is so gentle, and those golden eyes are looking at her so intently, she knows... what he said and what he did is true, and a person like him is a man of words. There is a hint of joy spreading in her heart, as if she is about to touch what she has been longing for... only one step away, she can touch it!But... the mind that grew up in the court since childhood was wary of her, after this supreme and noble Xuanzun Order... Finally, she pulled the corners of her lips, and a smile appeared, as beautiful as a flower blooming. "When I was young, an old man in the palace once said that if you want to get something, you have to pay a certain price. What will I... Xuanzun order me to pay?" Hua Chunran asked calmly and soberly. , his eyes calmly fell on Huang Chao's face, looking at those dazzling golden eyes calmly. Huang Chao let go of his hand, put his hands behind his back, looked down at the rare beautiful face in front of him, and smiled lightly, but the warm light in his eyes just now faded away all the warmth the moment he smiled. Like a cold pool, bright like an ice mirror. "The princess is a very smart person. The king of this country is Hua Yitian, but the king of Hua Yitian is Princess Chunran!" The dynasty smiled at the glimmer of light in Hua Chunran's eyes, and continued, "Princess or I won't admit it, but I never thought so in my heart. The subjects of the Hua Kingdom and even Hua Yitian himself failed to see through this point, but the court could not be wrong. With the talent and wisdom of the princess, the Hua Kingdom can be said to be infinite People can come out of your side, if you were born as a man, if your ambition is higher, there may be more than one Princess Xiyun in this world!" Hua Chunran remained silent, waiting for the emperor to continue, and what she said later might be related to her and their lives... "Maybe because we have been married for a short time, the princess always seems to forget that you—— are the wife of my dynasty. We are going to return to the country in a few days. We will be born as people of the empire and die as ghosts of the empire. You and I— ——It is the one that prospers and all that one loses!" Dynasty spread out a tiger talisman in the palm of his hand, and his eyes shot directly into the bottom of Hua Chunran's heart, "A princess in the deep palace mobilized fifty thousand troops without the king's order and order talisman. Admiration!" "Could it be that purely doing this wrong?" Hua Chunran asked in confusion, looking at the dynasty with innocent eyes and doubts, "Shouldn't you send troops to save the father and the king and help the son-in-law?" "Ha... the princess is very confident!" The dynasty just smiled, walked to the window, looked up at Tianyu, and said in a distant and faint voice, "This world is so deep and wide, compared to the princess. Although there are not many smarter people, there are not many! The princess's deep meaning after this move, how dare I make a mistake, so..." Huang Chao turned around, his eyes were like swords, and his tone was frosty, "Princess's actions like this, I will never be wrong. I don't even want to see you again!" At that moment, it was like thousands of arrows being fired, like a vast mountain falling, like a glacier bursting its embankment... At that moment, like an arrow piercing the heart, like a mountain pressing down on the top, like flooding the body... Pain, weight, cold... all under pressure As if he couldn't breathe, he took a step back involuntarily, and put his hand on the table unconsciously. he knows!He really knew!Hua Chunran's complexion turned pale for a moment, her pupils shrank, she gritted her teeth, and tightly grasped the corner of the table. The room was silent, only the sound of Hua Chunran's slightly rapid breathing. After a long time, Huang Chao suddenly smiled gently and said, "Does the princess like the gift from Chao?" "Hehe..." Hua Chunran smiled lightly, raised her hand to caress her temples, her expression was soft and charming, "The gift from the son-in-law is pure love." "That's good." Huang Chao nodded and smiled, "I hope the princess will cherish this thing and use it for herself." "Xuanzun Order... the supreme Xuanzun Order!" Hua Chunran raised the order in his hand, stroked the four characters "Supreme Xuanzun" with his fingers, and glanced at the flying dragon behind the order, "Purely fixed!" Live up to the meaning of the concubine's gift!" "Supreme Xuanling... Wherever I stand, the princess must be beside me!" Huang Chao said suddenly. "Oh?" Hua Chunran rolled his eyes, his expression soft and charming, "Where should I be when the young master comes to the world?" "You are the mother of the world!" The dynasty took Hua Chunran's hand again, touching the fingertips, intertwining the fingers, interlocking the wrists, and meeting the eyes. This... is their ceremony, the ancient, never-forsaking ceremony. oath. Hua Chunran looked slightly moved at the intersecting hands, and raised his head to look at the dynasty, with that solemn expression, that unrepentant gaze, at this moment, he seemed to want to laugh, but at the same time seemed to want to cry, but in the end he just Standing blankly, staring blankly, letting that hand warm that hand, letting Naling cool that palm. "It's getting late at night, and it's time for the princess to rest. Let me take my leave." Huang Chao let go of his hand, turned around and left, walked to the door, and suddenly looked back, "Will we help each other until the white head?" Without waiting for an answer, he smiled lightly, opened the door and left. After the imperial court left, the room was extremely quiet. Looking down at the Xuanzun Token in his hand, Hua Chunran smiled slightly, "I'll exchange what I have for you, do you think it's worth it?" Dropping, falling on the cool ink, my heart is so empty, as empty as a valley where nothing grows, as quiet as a wilderness where everything dies, how did these tears fall?Why are these tears falling? From April to June in the 17th year of Renji, many things happened to Feng Kingdom during this period. The two countries reached a peace treaty to quell foreign affairs. The queen who returned to the country after the war has changed from the weak state in the eyes of the people of the past. Above the court, he was dignified and cold, shrewd and calm, and his words were sharp and merciless.If the old ministers left by the former king made a slight mistake, they would either be dismissed and investigated, or they would be exiled to the border towns and never be hired!All of a sudden, the ministers of the court were demoted three ranks a day, and several were dismissed a day... But in a few days, the Ziying Hall, which was originally full of courtiers, was more than half empty. Of course, the courtiers who were exiled were full of complaints, but they had nothing to say in the face of the letters secretly sent by the queen. Those were the evidences of their corruption and breaking the law over the years, and those things that no one thought to know , Why can the queen know it so clearly?It seems that they have underestimated the "sick" Princess Xiyun over the years! But among the people, the people applauded the Queen's move. Although the former king was not a mediocre king, he always seemed to turn a blind eye to political affairs, and his mind was more enthusiastic about his calligraphy, painting and literature. Although it is not as weak as Bai and Nan, it has always been inferior to Huang and Feng, and has been invaded by Hua Guo from time to time. If it were not for the protection of Feng Yunqi, Feng Guo might have been swallowed by Huang, Feng, and Hua.Now, the new king has succeeded to the throne, and the corrupt officials were eradicated at the beginning of his administration. The people all thought that the new king will implement new policies, and the new policies will bring new phenomena to the country. A veritable powerful country that keeps pace with the emperor and Feng will no longer be disturbed by other countries. This is the hope in the hearts of the people. Guofei can support it alone. On June 12th, the King of Feng issued a notice that the "Yinghua Meeting" will be held in Fengdu on June 22nd, regardless of family background, age or appearance, as long as you are talented, you can go to the meeting. At that time, the king will personally interview and interview, and scholars with real talents will be appointed as officials to serve the country. As soon as this announcement was made, the whole people of Feng Nation responded and rushed to tell each other.Every village and township has talented but poor people. The villagers spontaneously donate money and things, and they are interviewed on the drums. Those who are confused by the "officials" wrapped in gold embroidery are a little hesitant before leaving. If it was in the past, spending some money would definitely buy the joints and skyrocket, but... this time the queen "will be interviewed in person", and in front of the queen whose martial arts is famous all over the world, can I be fooled?Thinking about the lessons learned not long ago, I immediately gave up my mind. By the 22nd day, a total of more than 1,000 people had participated in the meeting. After the three tests of Taiyin, Tailu, and Dazai, a total of 200 people stood out and were admitted to Ziying Hall. On the 25th, the Queen summoned these 200 talents in the Ziying Hall, interviewed them in person, and finally selected 50 outstanding talents from them, and awarded them official positions on the spot. And the other 150 losers, although they were disappointed, were also happy. It was already a great honor for them to be able to enter the Ziying Hall, which is impossible for Chinese people to enter in their lifetime. It is a blessing that they never dared to imagine in three lifetimes. What's more, the queen gave each of them a book, a pen and a sword at the end, saying: Book education People, pens express ambitions, and swords defend the country! This last move made the one hundred and fifty people completely disappointed. They only felt that they were full and happy physically and mentally, even though they were defeated, they were glorious!And after they returned to their hometowns, they were more respected by the villagers. These people later either opened a museum to teach and educate future generations, or used their own efforts to do good for the villagers and became local gentlemen and celebrities, or traveled around the Yi people in border countries to promote Fengguo culture, written descriptions of local customs and culture, wonders and strange events to benefit future generations... In July, the Delin Pond in front of Hanlu Hall is full of lotus flowers, red, pink, and white, blooming, lotus leaves, and lotus fragrance lingering in front of the palace. It was so easy to steal half a day of leisure, Xiyun took off the complicated royal clothes, put on a plain white long skirt, and walked casually in the palace. Before she knew it, she walked to the lotus pond and looked at the place where her mother had lived before she was alive. The place where she lives seems to be so quiet no matter whether the mother was alive or after she was alive. In the graceful lotus bushes, it seems that the mother's sad and depressed figure can be vaguely seen. She sighed silently and walked closer. The fragrance came to my face. Sitting on the stone bench by the pool, looking at the pond full of lotuses with a slight expression, she stretched out her hand to hold a white lotus, and touched the bright yellow stamens with her fingertips. With a movement of her wrist, she seemed to want to pluck the flower, but For some reason, the hand softened, and suddenly let go, watching the flower tremble a few times in the air, and then stood still, couldn't help but smile. Hearing the sound of light footsteps, he turned his head to look, but saw Pei Qiu, the head of internal affairs, leading a group of servants and palace servants coming from a distance. "My lord, how can you walk alone without even bringing a palace man with you. If you need anything, wouldn't it be inconvenient." Pei Qiu bowed. Xi Yun just smiled when she heard that, this Manager Pei who had watched her grow up always seemed to regard her as a child, stood up, glanced affectionately at the pond full of lotus flowers, then turned and walked back. In front of Yusheng Palace, Xiyun finally stopped, looked back at Pei Qiu who had been following behind him but looked hesitant, and asked with a slight smile: "Boss Pei, do you have anything to tell me?" "Huh?" Pei Qiu, who had been walking forward with his head bowed, didn't expect the king to stop suddenly and asked him. He couldn't help but startled, and then murmured, "Actually, it's a trivial matter. Since the previous king passed away... since the king returned... the king I've been so busy all this time, it's rare to have a moment of leisure today, old slave... this old slave can't bear it..." "Okay, just talk about it if you have anything to say." Xiyun shook his head and interrupted him, standing on the high steps in front of the palace, looking into the distance, but he could only see the continuous palace. What I saw outside the palace was just the blue sky and white clouds looking up. "Yes." Pei Qiu bowed slightly, "The old king passed away that day. Before the king went out to fight, he repeatedly told the old slave that no one in the palace should leave the palace during the king's absence. Anyone who violates the palace rules will be arrested and wait for you Go back to the palace and deal with it. After you left, although no one sneaked out or forcibly left the palace, there were a few people who asked the old slave to leave the palace. I will be sent to prison, but I will secretly write down their names, and I want to report them after the king returns to the palace, but after the king returns, he is busy with the funeral of the first king, and then... and then there are many political affairs. The old slave thought that since the king repeatedly warned him that day, it must have a deep meaning, so..." "Unexpectedly, what I expected is really not bad." Xiyun sighed slightly after hearing the words, "Who are those people who want to leave the palace? What palace do they usually serve?" "There are five servants in total, all of them are servants, one is serving Yingshou Palace, three are serving Zhenshan Palace, and one is serving Shuangshen Palace." "Serving in Yingshou Palace?" Xiyun's eyes flickered slightly, and then asked, "What's that called?" "Sha Xiaori." Pei Qiu replied. "Sha Xiaori? Bring him, I want to see you." Xiyun said lightly. "Yes." Pei Qiu stepped back. Within a quarter of an hour, Pei Qiu came in a hurry again, followed by a young and fat servant. "Greetings...greetings to the king!" The servant knelt down on the ground. "Your name is Sha Xiaori?" Xiyun stepped on the bright red red steps with her toes, and moved her eyes along the toe of her shoes to Sha Xiaori at the bottom of the steps. "Yes... yes, the slave's name is Sha Xiaori." Sha Xiaori replied with some trepidation, as if he was caught by Wang Wei, and kept bowing his head. "Which palace are you from?" Xiyun still asked casually, as if chatting with him. "Return to the king, the slave is from the Yingshou Palace and served the former king." Sha Xiaori replied softly. "Oh." Xiyun nodded slightly, "I think you are very familiar with the condition of the late king, right?" "Eh?" Sha Xiaori was a little confused, so the previous king had been buried for nearly two months, so I don't know why the king suddenly asked this. "My lord is asking you something." Xi Yun's voice was soft and indifferent, but there was a kind of coercive majesty. "Yes... yes... this slave is one of the late king's close servants, so I have a little understanding of the late king's illness." Sha Xiaori hurriedly replied. "Sha Xiaori, have you ever been to Huaguo?" Leng Buxi Yun suddenly asked from out of the sky. "Hua Guo?" Sha Xiaori was startled, his eyes turned up secretly, wanting to see Wang's expression now, but he met Xiyun's sweeping gaze on the way, his heart was shocked and his expression was confused. "Have you ever been to Huaguo?" Xiyun asked again. "This servant has never been to Huaguo. This servant entered the palace at the age of fourteen and has been serving in the Yingshou Palace. On weekdays, he only goes home to visit his family on occasional holidays. He has never been out of the gate of Fengdu City. Manager Pei also knows this. "Sha Xiaori kept calm and said eloquently. "Really?" Xiyun smiled suddenly, stepped down the alchemy steps, approached Sha Xiaori who was kneeling on the steps step by step, and asked lightly, "Then what is this?" When the words fell, Sha Xiaori only felt the top of his head loosen, and then his hair loosened a lot. Looking up, he saw Xiyun holding a sapphire hairpin in his hand, and couldn't help feeling cold, "This is... a slave Hairpin." "I know this is your hairpin, but do you know what kind of hairpin it is?" Xiyun smiled again, with an extremely gentle smile, but Sha Xiaori felt that the smile seemed to come through the thousand-year-old ice peak, With a refreshing chill. "This... this is an ordinary green jade hairpin, it is... the servant bought it at the market when he was out of the palace last time." Sha Xiaori replied with his head down, but he couldn't help but slightly grasped his hand. "Does Manager Pei know what kind of hairpin this is?" Xi Yun asked Pei Qiu who was at the side. "That's... the Kunshan Green Jade Hairpin, right?" Pei Qiu glanced at the hairpin and replied uncertainly. "Is that so? Sha Xiaori." Xiyun raised her hand slightly, allowing the jade hairpin to stand under the sunlight. In an instant, the jade hairpin was like a pool of slowly flowing green water under the sunlight, green and green. One piece, people regard it as drinking nectar, refreshing the body and mind for a while. "Yes... yes..." Sha Xiaori also looked at the pool of green water under the sun, his face turned ashen. Xiyun glanced at Sha Xiaori with downcast eyes, and said with some regret, "It seems that your vision is not very accurate. If I read correctly, this green jade hairpin is made of Qinghong jade, which is only produced in Sangshan Mountain in Huaguo. , this is quite a very valuable thing.” "Yes... is it... still... the king has eyesight... this... from this point of view...slave...slave..." Sha Xiaori's tone was a little unsteady, and he couldn't finish speaking intermittently. "This Qinghong jade is very rare in the world, and the things it makes are hard to buy. I remember that it has been twelve years since the king of Hua ordered that 'Sangshan Qinghong jade is not allowed to be mined unless the king orders it, and people who are not royals are not allowed to wear this Qinghong jade' But when all the Qinghong jades were collected in the royal palace, the folks of the Hua Kingdom dare not collect and hide this jade again. Even our Fengwang family only has a phoenix-tailed bamboo carved from Qinghong jade, but...how can you buy it? What about this Qinghong jade hairpin? You actually bought it in Fengguo, something that Huaguo couldn’t even buy? How much is your monthly salary? It seems like there are only two silver leaves, right?” Xiyun lowered her hand and spread it on the sand In front of Xiaori, the green jade hairpin in his palm was no longer as cool as water, but exuded a chilly aura from hell. "Slave...slave..." In this hot day, Sha Xiaori was trembling all over, trembling and couldn't finish a sentence, but the back of his clothes was wet a lot. "Did you really buy this green jade hairpin? Or did someone give it to you?" Xiyun asked lightly, her face calm and not showing the slightest bit of displeasure. "No...not...yes...yes..." "It's not what? What is it?" Xiyun even had a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were like needles. "Yes... yes... King Hua sent someone to give it to this servant." Sha Xiaori flopped on the ground, "My lord, this servant deserves to die, this servant shouldn't accept what belongs to King Hua, this servant shouldn't...not... ...slave..." "Sha Xiaori, are you from Feng Country or Hua Country?" Xi Yun didn't show any surprise, but interrupted him and asked. "The servant is from the country of Feng." "Then are your parents from the Feng Kingdom or the Hua Kingdom?" "They are all from the Wind Country." "Oh? Then your grandparents or your ancestors are people from Huaguo?" "Slaves... Slaves have been from Fengguo for generations." Sha Xiaori closed his eyes and prostrated himself on the ground, a feeling of doom came from his head, at this moment he suddenly woke up, he would never have another chance. "So they are all from Fengguo." Xiyun nodded lightly, and shifted her eyes to Pei Qiu who had been waiting quietly. "Wang, what do you want to do?" Pei Qiu stepped forward to ask for instructions. "Those who forget their ancestors and abandon their country, beheaded!" Xi Yun's voice was suddenly as cold as ice, and everyone present trembled. But Sha Xiaori on the ground had turned into a puddle of mud, and passed out. In the distance, a servant rushed over. "My lord, there is a man outside the palace who claims to be your chef asking to see you." The waiter said out of breath, but when he came up to him, he felt that the atmosphere here was very cold and chilling, so he couldn't help but restrain his breath. "Oh?" Xiyun tilted her head slightly, then smiled slightly, the cold breath disappeared instantly, and the high temperature in July returned to the front of Yusheng Palace, "Please invite him in." "Yes." The waiter hurriedly retreated. And Pei Qiu glanced at Sha Xiaori who was lying on the ground, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, he..." "Drag it down immediately, behead!" Xiyun's voice was cold and ruthless, and her eyes were like ice swords as she glanced at Sha Xiaori, "I pass on the king's order, and anyone who does so will be beheaded without mercy!" "Yes!" Pei Qiu bowed to accept the order, then waved his hands and ordered the two servants to drive away Sha Xiaori who was on the ground. And in front of the palace gate in the distance, a slender blue figure was slowly approaching, seeing the figure that was getting closer, and the facial features that were gradually becoming clear, Pei Qiu was a little curious, this man could actually make Wang fade away from his cold body. Sober, with such a warm smile. At first glance, compared to Mr. Lanxi's incomparable handsomeness and grace, this is just a very plain and ordinary person, one who can't be found among the crowd, but when he turns his head, he seems to feel something is wrong. But I feel that these ordinary facial features contain a kind of aura that ordinary people don't have, which is unforgettable. "Greetings to King Feng." Although the man in Tsing Yi had a respectful tone, he just bowed slightly and did not salute. "Jiuwei, you're finally here." When Pei Qiuyin felt that this person lacked etiquette, he saw Wang Zheng smiling at that person with clear eyes and a gentle tone, as if he had been waiting for this person for a long time. "Yes, I'm here." Jiuwei raised his head to look at Feng Xi on the high Dan steps——no, that's not Feng Xi, although he was still dressed in white, but his straight long hair had been tied into an elegant Liuyun bun, even if he was dressed in plain clothes. The clothes have also changed, the dragon patterns on the cuffs, the phoenix feathers on the skirt, the nine-hole exquisite jade belt around the waist...even the elegant smile on the face, the Qinghua demeanor between the brows, the cold and self-disciplined gaze, the calm and elegant look. His noble demeanor... These are not what the simple and self-willed Bai Fengxi would have. This is the King of Wind—the Queen Xiyun of the Wind Country. He seemed a little lost in his heart, as if something had disappeared from his eyes, but... Isn't this what he had been looking forward to?Isn't he just looking forward to this day? "Boss Pei." Xi Yun turned her head and called out. "The servant is here." Pei Qiu responded with a bow. "Please arrange for Mr. Jiuwei to live in Shuanghen Palace. He will be the king's royal cook from now on. He only stays with me alone. No one in the palace is allowed to use him or disrespect him!" Xiyun's voice was clear and clear. "Yes!" Pei Qiu replied. After Xiyun gave the order, she turned to look at Jiuwei, "Jiuwei, you have come from a long way, so let's take a rest today." "Thank you Feng Wang." Jiu Wei bowed slightly to thank again. Time flies, the lotus is defeated and the chrysanthemum is blooming, summer is coming and autumn is coming. Yusheng Palace is the place where King Feng reviews memorials and handles political affairs on a daily basis, so this palace is not as imposing as Ziying Palace, nor is it as small and exquisite as Hanlu Palace. The unique openness and leisure. Let go of the book in his hand, rubbed the center of his eyebrows slightly, and looked out of the window, where a clump of white chrysanthemums was in full bloom. The court has stabilized, and the newly elected officials have entered their respective states. In the past two months, there have been few worrying things in the papers submitted by various places. It seems that everything is getting better...but...how long can this calm last? Woolen cloth?When that situation unfolds, the only thing she can do is to maintain the stability of Feng Nation and prevent the people of Feng Nation from suffering from the flames of war. This is her responsibility as the king of Feng Nation, and she... can only keep The people of Fengguo!Alas... I sighed unconsciously. Suddenly, a very faint sound came, like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind, so subtle that the human ear could barely detect it. "Who is it?" Xi Yun asked indifferently, her eyes were fixed on the window, her long sleeves were hanging down, and the white silk was already in her hand. A very faint black shadow flew in from the window, like a wisp of light smoke entering the room, and fell silently on the carpet. "Yan Mei, meet Feng Wang." The black shadow is blurred, making you unable to see his face clearly, whether his body shape is tall or short, fat or thin, but you can roughly tell that he is kneeling and hanging down. The first salute to the King of Wind, the only thing that is clear is his voice, but you can't remember what his voice is like after hearing it. "Dark Charm?" Xiyun's eyes fell on the blurry black shadow. Even in broad daylight, even with her cultivation level, she couldn't see through the black shadow. "Are you Lan dark messenger?" "Yes." An Mei replied, "At the order of the Young Master, send a letter to Feng Wang." When the words fell, a light orchid fragrance spread in the room, and a black orchid flew out from the shadow, and flew straight to Xiyun.Xiyun let go of Ling's hand and spread it in mid-air, the ink orchid lightly landed on her palm, and with a slight breath, the ink orchid slowly stretched and spread out, and then a piece as thin as A white paper like a cicada's wing emerges from the ink orchid. Xiyun picked up the letter and read it with just one glance, her jade face blushed slightly, as if drinking fine wine, and her face was as drunk as a frost leaf, but it was only a moment, and the layer of shame that seemed to fade away in a blink of an eye Blush, face like snow jade, white and cold, eyes as deep as the sea and as clear as a stream, but no emotion can be seen from them. "Young Master said that Feng Wang Yuexin will only answer after deep thought, so Anmei will come again tomorrow." Anmei's voice sounded calmly in the room. Xiyun's eyes swept over, looking at the shadow kneeling on the ground, she suddenly smiled, but there was no joy in her smile, "Then come again at this time tomorrow." "Yes, Anmei is leaving." The black shadow gently floated out of the window again. Her eyes fell back to the letter in her hand, and in an instant, a slightly sad smile floated on her face, and her eyes looked out of the window, the autumn was breezy and the autumn chrysanthemums were blooming, but she couldn't make her heart open slightly, couldn't make her heart warm a little, for a long time Sigh, so helpless and sad, do you really want to take this step?But... that's true... There was a light knock on the door, and then the door was gently pushed open, and a scent of chrysanthemums spread out, looking away, I saw Jiu Wei walking in with a snow jade porcelain plate in his hand. "Are you tired from reading the books? I made you chrysanthemum clear porridge, which can refresh your mind." Jiu Wei put the porridge bowl on the table and glanced at Xi Yun, surprised that this self-proclaimed queen who is not mentally revealing is at this moment There was a look of sadness in his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" Xiyun just smiled, picked up the porridge bowl, smelled the fragrance of the chrysanthemum, and couldn't help clearing her mind. "Drink porridge, I cooked it clearer on purpose." Jiu Wei didn't ask any more questions, and handed over the jade spoon automatically. "Yeah." Xiyun took it, stirred it lightly, and then scooped a spoonful into the mouth, "Yeah... delicious, clear and cool, the fragrance lingers on my lips and teeth, I want more!" A bowl of clear porridge three times She finished drinking it, and looked up at Jiu Wei after finishing, the brows that were originally slightly twitched have now opened, and there is only greed in those eyes at this moment, the meaning is obvious, and I want to drink another bowl. "It's gone." Unexpectedly, Jiuwei spread his hands, "I only cooked one bowl." "Cook again." Xiyun begged slightly. “不行。”久微却一摆手，看着惜云，似乎只有贪吃这一点，才能让眼前之人与昔日那个白风夕划上等号，“你知道我的规矩，一种东西我从来只煮一次。” “我例外！”说得理所当然得近乎无赖。 “你例外？”久微眉头一扬，然后微微一笑，抬手指向惜云犹是微蹙的眉心，“那么告诉我这个，因为我也例外。” 惜云闻言勾唇一笑，放开粥碗，眸光扫向桌上的那朵墨兰，片刻后才道:“久微，你知道要让两个国家融为一体，最好的方法是什么吗？” “嗯？让两个国家融为一体？”久微闻言眉峰微敛，然后道，“结盟？” 惜云笑笑摇头，“换一个说法，让两个人融为一体，你知道是什么方法吗？” 久微闻言不由瞪目，似隐约猜到却又似不想相信。 “夫妻。”惜云却自答，起身拈起那朵墨兰，摊在久微面前，“夫妻一体，而让两个国家完全融为一体，不分彼此，那最简单也最好的办法便是两国的王结为夫妻！” “这就是你不开心的原因？”久微看着惜云，没有漏过她说到夫妻时眸中那一丝茫然。 “不开心？”惜云又是一笑，笑意却未达眼眸即断，指尖拨弄着墨兰，淡淡的道，“其实我早就料想过，只是没想到他真会如此，我以为……他总还会保留一点点的，我们最后的……可惜他还是走这一步了。” “那你决定如何？”久微双眉蹙在一堆，似极不赞同。 “我吗……”惜云走至窗前，看看手心的墨兰，然后伸出手，轻轻一吹，那一朵墨兰便飞出窗口，飘向空中，“我当然是要答应他。”话说出了，可神情却是那样的无奈而悲哀，目光依依追着那朵墨兰，仿佛是亲手拋出了什么重要之物，那样的不舍而绝然！ “你真的要嫁给他？”久微走至她身边，扳过她的身子，“夕儿，不能答应，十年情谊……并不止这些的，若答应了他，你们之间便算走至尽头！那样……那样你们都会终生憾恨的！” “久微……”惜云拍拍久微的手，摇摇头，微笑，笑得云淡风清，却也笑得空然无绪，“或许这是天定，从相遇之初便已注定，这么多年……还不够吗？可是我们总是无法靠近……靠得最近时也隔着一层……他无法，我也无法！” “一定要如此吗？”久微放开手，似有些不忍却又无能为力。 “时局的发展已如此。”惜云依然笑着，却笑得那样的荒凉，目光穿过那丛丛白菊，“况且这真是一个好办法啊……王是一国的象征，是国之民心所向，两国的王结为夫妻，那两国也就可以理所当然的、毫无间隔的合为一国，这样……才能真正凝聚两国之力，然后……” “可是……”久微忧心的看着惜云，那双蕴藏着灵气的眼眸仿佛可穿越时光看透日后的种种，“你呢？为着这个天下，你这一生便要如此吗？你和他真的只能如此吗？” “我和他……”惜云那一刻是茫然的，眸光空蒙的仿佛落向遥远的时空，看着那久远的故事，“十年相交，竟让我们走至如今这种地步，我也不想……可是我和他都没法。” “若我只是白风夕，当日在高山峰上我便拖着那人一起走，管他什么天下，管他什么霸图……管他是丰息还是兰息，管他到底有多少九曲肠沟……我只做我纵情任性的风夕，拖着那红尘知己笑傲山林，踏遍那五湖烟霞……可是……我还是风国的惜云！”惜云淡淡的、怅怅的看着窗外，“我一生最重要的部分还是风国的惜云！人一生，并不只是为着理想、为着情感，更多的还是责任与义务！”眸光转向久微，“你不同样如此吗？” 久微哑然，良久后深深叹一口气，“我每天都会为你做好吃的，定会让你健康、长命百岁！”
