Xiao Li was thinking about Qin Sang's words even in his dreams that night, the little girl who had lived for more than ten years without thinking about anything, did not get a solid sleep for the first time.
The next morning, it was raining outside, the sky was dim, and the pattering rain slapped the banana leaves in the yard outside her window, and vaguely heard the locust tree spirit chattering again, Xiao Li was half awake, curled up in the pile of beautiful quilts Amidst the dim light and broken sounds in the room, the girl who had always been carefree sighed for no reason.
Fortunately, Ji Xi came soon, and he deliberately got up early in the rain to buy Zhang Ji's fried rice, and brought it to her for breakfast with her.
Seeing his little girl in a trance, Ji Xi thought it was because of what his father reprimanded last night, and sighed, he made her a pan-fried bun, comforted her and said, "Daddy didn't blame you either. It's just that you are rude to the Master of the National Teacher in front of Eunuch Su, and it is difficult for Dad to do it, so he wants you to go to the door to make an apology. However, Dad has been busy with military affairs recently, and he has already asked me to take you to the National Teacher's Mansion. With me here, I will definitely protect you, don't be afraid."
"Brother Ji Xi," Xiao Li stared blankly at the delicious fried rice on the plate, and asked in a daze, "I have someone in my heart, do you just like it?"
Ji Xi was startled, and then her brows seemed to be like a spring breeze, her expression relaxed, she smiled and said softly to her: "Yes! There is a person in my heart, I am happy when she is happy, and I try to comfort her when she is sad. I hope she can stay by my side for the rest of her life, and let me protect her for the rest of her life.”
He spoke in a low voice that was emotional, Ji Xiaoli lowered his head but was thinking: Master is so seldom happy, she really tries to make him laugh, but all her life... she doesn't seem to want to.
She still seems to prefer cultivating immortals.
"Xiao Li, who... do you have in mind?" Ji Xi thought of something and asked cautiously.
Ji Xiaoli buried his head in gnawing on the fried rice, gnawed half of it, and answered with a slurred voice: "...No..."
Ji Xi thought she never lied, he was relieved, but he felt a little melancholy, touched her head, and said softly, "Eat slowly..."

Last night when Ji Ting came back from the military camp, he really gave Xiaoli a lesson. The princess begged for a few words, but she was also reprimanded for being incompetent. Fortunately, Princess Yanyang called Ji Xi and Ji Bei early in the morning, and made jokes from the sidelines. After vowing that he would personally take Xiaoli to the National Teacher's Mansion today to make an apology, Ji Ting held it up high and let it go gently.
"However, why did Eunuch Su come here today?" Ji Ting frowned and asked in wonder, "Does the emperor have a purpose?"
"There has never been one!" Speaking of this, the princess also felt strange: "At first I thought it was a dowry gift for the Shang Shufu, but it didn't look like it later."
"... Maybe it was the master of the national teacher who blocked it." Ji Ting speculated.
Princess Yanyang thought the same way: "The son of the Chu family has been making too much trouble recently, it is not impossible for Chu Shangshu to ask the emperor's imperial decree to marry him."
Ji Bei interjected in disbelief and asked, "If it's the emperor's imperial decree, how dare the master of the country dare to disobey it?"
Both Ji Ting and Princess Yanyang looked at their son with complicated eyes.
Young people, too naive.
"In this way, we owe even more to Master Guoshi." Ji Ting sighed.
Ji Xi didn't want to remind his parents to turn their thoughts to "Master National Teacher is a man", so he followed their meaning and smiled: "When I go tomorrow, I will return today's things to Master National Teacher, Please prepare another two carts of generous gifts, thank you, Master Guoshi."
Ji Ting nodded and patted Ji Xi on the shoulder: "Sure!"
In this way, Ji Ershao, who pretended to be ignorant, took his little girl and the two big carts of betrothal gifts prepared for his little girl by the master of the national teacher, and the two big carts of thank you gifts from Zhennan Wangfu, and went on a mighty journey. The National Teacher's Office went to make amends.
**
Master Guoshi met them in Wanqian Hall.
It's just that they didn't see each other overnight, but Ji Xiaoli felt that there seemed to be something different about her master.
It was obviously still the same person, with tall and straight black clothes and stern eyes, she couldn't tell where it was, but she just watched him walk in, getting closer to her with every step, and her heart became more and more flustered.
It's not just fear. She didn't know what was wrong with herself, she had done this to someone before... She wanted to step back and hide from him, but also wanted to go up to him and hug him.
After all, she was timid, she shrank her head and leaned against Ji Xi. Ji Xi smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to embrace her behind him.
Master Guo Shi has already walked in front of them.
"My lord: My younger sister is stubborn and rude. Yesterday I was disrespectful to the Master of the State Teacher in public. My father reprimanded my younger sister after he came back last night. Originally, my father wanted to bring an apology himself today, but the army is busy with military affairs and is really incapable of doing it. I just asked me to bring my younger sister here, and please forgive me!" Since Ji Dong went to Xili, Ji Xi has taken over all the trivial matters in the mansion, and he has become more and more comprehensive.
Chen Yubai took a look at him this time, but it was just a look, and he turned to look at the person behind Ji Xi.
Even though he was hiding behind Ji Xi, Ji Xiaoli was still trembling when he saw him, so he had no choice but to come out and salute him, calling out in a low voice: "Master."
Chen Yubai nodded, as usual.
At this moment, Ji Xi smiled and said to his younger sister: "I still haven't apologized to Master Guoshi!"
"No need." Chen Yubai looked at her and said, "There is no need for this between us."
Ji Xi smiled more sincerely: "That's right, Xiao Li is the disciple of the lord. He will be a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life. If you think about it, the lord will not seriously care about her."
A certain sentence hit Master Guoshi again, and he gave Ji Xi a cold look. Although Ji Xi had the bottom line in his heart, he was still stiffened by this look.
Chen Yubai asked the person who lowered his head and didn't look at him in a deep voice: "Are you unwilling to come here again?"
Hearing her soft "hmm", he didn't get angry, but said quietly: "Ji Xiaoli, raise your head, look into my eyes and answer me."
Ji Xiaoli always listened to him subconsciously, and really slowly raised his head, looking at him hesitantly.
At this moment, Ji Xi turned his head and gave Xiao Li an encouraging look.
"Master...you lied to me. I lost my temper with you. We are even. But I don't want to follow you anymore. You are not a fairy, so you won't teach me how to cultivate a fairy." Incomparably, when she finished speaking, she clearly felt her heart tense.
Chen Yubai walked up to her, raised his hand to separate Ji Xi who was about to come forward.
Before Ji Xi touched his sleeve, he was shocked by the internal force on the sleeve and moved back a few steps, startled and angry.
Only Chen Yubai's voice was faint: "Do you remember what you promised me?"
He raised his hand, and the whole sleeve was hanging down, as if she was in his arms. Being so close, he only saw her in his slightly lowered eyes, and the soul-stirring light in his eyes and the feelings that she could not fully understand made her terrified.
She remembered: It was also such an evening, there was no rain, the air smelled of dry mud and hot dust, and she jumped over the high threshold of the ancient ancestral hall, holding his hand, and it was so close to him. Smile to her sincerely.
Alone in this world, spend it with you.
She actually remembered that she had promised him that she would follow him no matter whether she became a fairy or not in this life.
But at that time, she thought he was a fairy, even if she couldn't follow him to become a fairy, after a long time, she would gain a lot of fairy energy, and she would always have a chance to meet her parents in the sky.
A surge of hot blood rushed to his head, Xiao Li shook his head vigorously.
"... I don't remember!" She replied loudly, but her tone was very panic-she clearly felt the pain in her heart! Had Mammy got into her heart? Otherwise why would it hurt like this!
The low-hanging starlight froze for a moment and was overshadowed.
Chen Yubai frowned coldly.
"In that case, let's go," he said.
Ji Xiaoli was stunned.
Master Guoshi didn't say another word, and left in a huff.
Ji Xi came back to his senses, at this moment, he took two steps forward to embrace Xiaoli, said goodbye to Master Guoshi with a sullen face, turned around and left immediately.
**
On the way back, the car was quiet all the way.
The carriage shook slightly, Ji Xi looked at the girl who had been dazed since getting on the carriage, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Xiao Li, what did you promise him?"
"...Ah?" Xiao Li was at a loss, "What?"
"Master Guoshi!" Ji Xi frowned, "What did you promise him?!"
"I don't remember." She lowered her head again.
Ji Xi suddenly felt a sense of strangeness—his little girl was happy and carefree, and never had anything to worry about. Who is this one who is in a daze, thinking, lying and covering up
"Xiao Li," he said in a deep voice with a hint of bitterness, "No matter what you promised, since you have forgotten it now, don't ever think about it again."
Ji Xiaoli didn't answer, he lowered his head and pretended to be asleep so he didn't hear.
In Ji Xi's heart, it was like a storm was about to come, and the building was full of wind, and he let out a breath of foul air slowly, and he cast his eyes out of the window depressed.
**
Ji Xi took her all the way back home depressed, if it was usual, he would definitely stay and have dinner with her before leaving, but today he sent her to the gate of the courtyard with a straight face and said something was wrong, seeing Xiao Li was completely unaware Unknowingly, he felt even worse, endured it, and left without saying a word.
How can Xiao Li take care of him.
After eating dinner without taste, she lied to the servant girl that she wanted to rest when she was sleepy, closed the door and lay down on the dressing table under the south window, thinking about her thoughts.
As Sister Qin Sang said, there is really only one person left in her heart.
It's a strange feeling, how can someone who is obviously not in front of me be so full of him? As long as she closes her eyes, she can see all his expressions.
Is it because he has no parents? Even the master is dead, more pitiful than her? Xiaoli thought, but there are so many poor people in the world, she has seen many when the concubine took her to give out porridge, those ragged people are much more pitiful than her master, why did she close her eyes and not see them Woolen cloth
She buried her face in her sleeves, shaking her head back and forth, trying to see if she could get rid of the strange feeling.
I was rubbing my hair all over my head, when suddenly there were three "knock, knock, knock" sounds from the window.
Xiao Li stood up and went to open the window, wondering who is this? Ji Xi and Ji Nan never walked through the door, and Ji Bei would not knock on the window so politely—it was almost as good as kicking in.
She opened the window suspiciously, and when she saw the person outside the window, she froze there in shock.
"Master, Master!"
Chen Yubai looked at her expressionlessly, and put a package of things on her window sill.
Xiao Li untied the piece of black ice silk embroidered with auspicious clouds pattern with gold thread, and the things inside were exposed. She opened her eyes and sat down on the ground with her feet limp.

The author has something to say: Master Guoshi won: swordsmanship, internal strength, lightness kung fu, array, medicine stone.
The national teacher doesn’t like the knife because it’s too bulky. The national teacher dislikes such things as hidden weapons. The poisonous and dirty national teacher has a cleanliness habit. He can sit for a long time playing chess. His face was really not pleasing to the eye, so he quickly lost and told him to get out.
Master Yirongshu Guoshi really lost, because no matter how cheeky he is, he will always only have one expression...
