The old butler got a guarantee that he would not kill Ji Xiaoli for the time being, heaved a sigh of relief, and went to Zhuxing Courtyard to tell the little girl who was slaughtered at any time: Don't actively provoke the Master of the National Teacher; don't passively provoke the Master of the National Teacher; Every now and then, he provokes the Master of the State Teacher.

The little girl promised promises, but she thought in her heart that there are still two days until Xiumu, and I will never come back when I go home!

Probably because what she was thinking was written on her face, the next day the Master of the State Council sent someone to invite her, and immediately asked her: "Xu Mu tomorrow, is there someone from the Zhennan Palace to pick you up?"

Ji Xiaoli nodded proudly and reservedly.

Master Guoshi also nodded, "Take a rest for a day. In the morning of the next day, someone will pick you up ten miles away." Seeing her disapproving expression, which he thought was well hidden, Chen Yubai twitched slightly , "I heard that you are keen on cultivating immortals?"

Speaking of this, the little girl's eyes lit up.

"What do gods know?"

"Immortals know all things in the world! Well, they can fly! They can bring back to life!" Ji Xiaoli talked about this almost endlessly.

Chen Yubai slapped her head away patiently to see what messed up thoughts were inside, and asked her coldly, "What do you want to know about the world?"

Ji Xiaoli blinked his eyes, "I want to know when I will become a fairy!"

The national teacher took a deep breath silently, and slowly exhaled: "Change one."

"... Then... Will it rain tomorrow?" The person with "You can't figure it out" written on his face was replaced by a "gentle and considerate" person.

Chen Yubai felt his head hurt, and his temples swelled up badly. He closed his eyes to hold back his breath. The overall situation was the most important thing. He opened his eyes and told her calmly: "Let's put the first thing on hold. You said gods can fly, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the others had rushed out, like a dragon in shock. The black ice silk was like the night wind, blowing past Ji Xiaoli's eyes.

She hurriedly chased him out, and he had darted up the tree like a black falcon, the black figure shuttled freely among the lush greenery, the tree was higher than the roof of Wanqiantang, Ji Xiaoli had to look up at him.

He flew around the tall house and big tree of Wanqian Hall, and when he landed, his posture was gorgeous and comfortable. Such a good-looking person, the black ice silk on his body was full of wind, making him look like a fairy descending from the clouds .

"How?" The immortal asked her lightly, raising his eyebrows.

Ji Xiaoli nodded endlessly, "You fly so high!"

The fairy snorted.

"But this is not a fairy's soaring through the clouds, this is lightness kung fu, my father can do it, and my brothers can do it too. Ji Nanfei is even better than you!"

Immortals forgot that this little girl came from the most powerful family of generals in Daye Kingdom. There are two living masters of the White Tiger Commander of the Ji family. Those who practice martial arts use their strength to borrow strength. It's as natural as the little white in the house can bark.

The originally sunny sky in the courtyard turned dark, the locust tree spirit trembled, the canopy moved without wind, Xiao Li wasn't sure whether it was holding back a laugh or was frightened.

She looked at the gloomy Master Guoshi in front of her in embarrassment.

But Chen Yubai did not become angry from embarrassment, he stared at her for a while with his lips pursed, and then laughed.

The smiling face of tens of thousands of pear blossoms on the icy sea and snow field made the corners of Xiaoli's eyes twitch, thinking of something. But before she could think it through, Chen Yubai said to her: "Well, you open your eyes and see."

He raised his hand to his thin lips and let out a beautiful whistle.

Soon, an iron-gray shadow came from the sky behind Wanqiantang. The object flew extremely fast, and within a few breaths, it arrived in front of the eyes, and landed firmly on the arm of Master Guoshi.

Master Guoshi stretched out his arms in front of her with a cold face.

Ji Xiaoli opened his eyes in disbelief!

It's war pigeons!

It was the roasted and fragrant war pigeon that she buried with her own hands!

Raw bones! Back from the dead!

"Master!" She rushed forward to hug that arm, and the startled pigeon flew away with fluttering wings. She hugged that arm tightly, fearing that it would turn into a cloud of smoke in the next moment, "Master! Disciple... My apprentice!" The little girl who aspired to cultivate immortality from an early age was incoherent with excitement.

When Chen Yubai was hugged by her, he subconsciously shook his arm, but he couldn't shake it off for a while, so he had to be hugged by her like this. It's the first time you're so close to a living person, what did you rub on the stupid girl's hair? It smells bad.

The national teacher, who had a whole little girl hanging on his arm, frowned in disgust.

"...Master..." The little girl hugged her master, with tears in her eyes, "Can I just do my teacher's ceremony tomorrow? Can I be accepted after I have done my obeisance to heaven and earth?"

The corner of Chen Yubai's mouth twitched, he wanted to throw his sleeves and send her flying, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Take a bath tomorrow." He reminded lightly.

"It's okay to be endless! Cultivation is important!" The little girl with eyes shining with admiration expressed eagerly.

Master Guoshi twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, "Your family is coming to pick you up."

"Send someone to tell him to go back!" After thinking about it, it doesn't seem so good? Ji Xiaoli was in a dilemma for a while, then sighed, "Then I'll go back for a day... Master remember to ask someone to pick me up ten miles away the next morning!"

"... good. Let go."

"Will Master turn into smoke with a 'poof'?"

"... No, you let go."

"Will the master go back to the sky with a 'hoo'?"

"… let go!"

"Will Master... oh, why did Master hit me... Master, if you beat me to death, will I become a fairy directly? Master... Master, why are you flying again? Master, Master, come down quickly... Master, come back !"

**

The master in black and black face descended from the sky, startled the round-faced boy, and quickly hid the pigeon cage behind his back.

Chen Yubai glanced at him.

Xiaotian was not Ji Xiaoli, he was neither stupid nor courageous, so he immediately knelt down in fright.

The national teacher's face is expressionless.

The blushing little boy lay down on the ground and kowtowed to admit his mistake: "...It was indeed sent to the kitchen that day, but the dinner prepared in the kitchen that day had roasted pigeons, so I... my lord, I know I was wrong !This is... then send the pigeon to the kitchen! I will bake it for Miss Xiaoli tonight!"

Master Guoshi looked at the sky, "No need, just keep it if you like it."

"Ah?" Xiaotian was so surprised that he even forgot the rules, and raised his head to look at the master in surprise.

This world's unparalleled handsomeness, this indifferent aura, is the master of the national teacher!

Did you get dizzy from Miss Xiaoli

Master Guoshi coughed, and the boy immediately bent down, not daring to ask any more questions, and thanked him happily.

At this time, the sound of joyful footsteps and the sweet and glutinous "Master..." of the little girl came from the front yard. The handsome and unparalleled master of the national teacher frowned in disgust, "Go and stop her, and she is not allowed to come again within today." Get close to me."

The boy who got the war pigeon was full of gratitude, got up and ran fast.

Chen Yubai looked at the pigeon cage on the ground. The war pigeon had not eaten or practiced for the past few days, and its skin was smooth and smooth. He probably remembered that the person who applied medicine to his wings tilted his head and "cuckooed" at him. Call out.

The national teacher ignored it, snorted and flung his sleeves away.

**

On the day Ji Xiao retired, Ji Xi and Ji Bei came to pick her up together. The two brothers, dressed in military attire and with similar handsome features, came all the way in this beautiful spring. Along the way, I don't know how many girls' eyes turned red.

The three of them laughed and laughed all the way back to Zhennan Palace.

Ji Ting and Princess Yanyang were not in the mansion for the banquet, but the princess deliberately stayed behind. Xiao Li ran into the Nanhua Courtyard, and threw himself into the arms of the princess like a baby bird returning to its nest.

Holding her in her arms and looking at her carefully for a while, Princess Zhennan saw the little girl's bright eyes and happy expression, she finally breathed a sigh of relief with the heart that she hadn't let go for ten days, but she asked with pity: "Why do you seem to have lost weight? It’s not that the food in the National Teacher’s Mansion is not to your liking?”

Ji Xiaoli had been looking forward to suing for a long time, but how could she still complain now? He looked up and told his adoptive mother happily: "The National Teacher's Mansion is very good! Very good, very good! My master is a fairy!"

It's not easy for the princess to say that the noble national teacher of Daye Kingdom is a mortal, and as long as Xiao Li likes it and worships the national teacher as a teacher, no matter what he learns, he will benefit for life.

"Then you have to listen to your master's teaching carefully, and don't be naughty." She gently told her adopted daughter.

Xiaoli nodded happily.

The mother and daughter were talking, when Ji Nan came back from the barracks, there was a lot of excitement when they met, Aunt Qian came to invite three times before inviting everyone to the table.

The four children were chatting and laughing around, lively and harmonious, the princess was happy, she couldn't help drinking a few more glasses, a little bit drunk, after the banquet, Aunt Qian served her a cup of soup and tea to relieve the hangover, and she sat in the flower hall slowly. Drink slowly.

Outside, the three Ji Xi brothers were playing with each other in the courtyard, shouting and laughing, Xiao Li ran around watching for a while, and then ran in to see the princess. He squatted beside his adoptive mother's lap and looked up for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is mother unhappy? Why didn't you speak?"

The princess pinched her flushed face and said softly, "I'm not unhappy. Mother is thinking about something."

"What are you thinking?"

The laughter of the Ji family brothers could be faintly heard outside, and the princess's soft and beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of smoke, which was beautifully sad. She asked her adoptive daughter softly: "Xiao Li, which of the brothers do you like the most?"

"Well, I like it the most... Ji Nan speaks softly, unlike Ji Bei who always hits me... Brother Ji Xi always brings me delicious and fun things... Eldest brother has the greatest strength, and he sent Ji Bei flying with a single slap !" Ji Xiaoli clapped his fingers, excitedly.

Seeing her ignorant appearance that day, the princess became more and more sad and entangled in her heart. She raised her hand and pulled her up into her arms, patting her gently.

At this moment, Aunt Qian smiled and asked Xiao Li: "Miss, the empress wants to ask you: Would you like to marry the fourth young master and stay in this mansion for the rest of your life?"

Ji Xiaoli lay in the embrace of her adoptive mother, Xiangruan, shaking her head to Aunt Qian: "I am going to become a fairy, how could I stay in the mansion for the rest of my life?"

"Yes yes yes," Aunt Qian followed her, "What about before becoming a fairy? Are you willing to marry brother Ji Nan and stay with the princess?"

"Yes!" Xiao Li nodded his head as a matter of course. Ji Nan is so good, married to him and played with him every day, and lived with his father, mother, princess empress, Xiaobai... Isn't it the same as now? Why not

Aunt Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the princess with joy in her eyes. Wang Fei still shook her head, hugged Xiao Li and said softly: "What does she know. Let's wait, wait a while."

"Ma'am, it's not good to wait any longer," Aunt Qian persuaded softly, "It's time for the fourth young master to get engaged, and Miss Xiaoli is also at her age. The engagement... everyone is at ease. Besides, what are you waiting for? Your lord It is said that it is better for Miss Xiaoli to stay in the mansion. If she marries outside... can you rest assured? Besides, the princess can't wait."

The concubine caressed her adoptive daughter's tender face, and said in a low voice: "After a while, Ji Dong wins and returns, Yan Yang will be in a better mood, maybe there will be a turnaround... Ji Xi and Ji Bei are good boys."

Marrying either Ji Xi or Ji Bei will not wrong Xiaoli, and he can stay in the mansion.

Now I only hope that Ji Dong will return soon.

At night, Ji Xiaoli was in a drowsy sleep, when the Qingluo bed curtain moved slightly, and the familiar fragrance came, she woke up immediately.

"Sister Qin Sang..." She rubbed her eyes and got up, reaching out to the smiling beauty beside the bed.

That beauty's hair color is a rare pure purple, and her face is even more radiant against the noble and mysterious color. She was dressed in purple, and the skirt and sleeves were embroidered with intricate and unique patterns. The flowers were beautiful and enchanting, but they were not one-tenth as beautiful as the beauty.

The beauty shook Xiao Li's hand, and said with a smile, "Is the National Teacher's Mansion fun? How is the National Teacher's Excellency treating you?"

Ji Xiaoli nodded and shook his head again, and told her: "There is a courtyard in the National Teacher's Mansion, where grass grows one day and stones grow the next day, it's so strange! Master Guoshi is also very strange, he only has one suit of clothes, and every day Wearing it, I haven’t changed it for ten days.”

Qin Sang couldn't hold back, and let out a "puchi" laugh,

The immortal who always has the face of "you stupid human beings don't deserve my eyes", the world-famous formation, and the black ice silk worth tens of thousands of gold is newly cut every day... "The master of the country is devoted Cultivating the Tao, ordinary things are not in your eyes, now that you have worshiped him as your teacher, you must respect him well." She smiled in her heart, and said to Xiao Li solemnly.

Ji Xiaoli felt that it made sense, and he had a calculation in his mind.

Of course Qin Sang could see that she was careful, and felt happier.

The two sisters talked for a while, Qin Sang took out a purple colored glass vial from his bosom, and poured out a pill.

Xiao Li took it obediently as usual.

"Okay, you go to sleep, I'm leaving." Qin Sang patted her head, and said softly, her usually gorgeous face now only had a gentle expression, "When you take a bath next month I'll see you again."

Xiao Li is used to seeing her at night every month, and taking a pill that "enhances qi and cultivates vitality", she nodded, and lay back obediently.

Qin Sang tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and lightly stroked the girl's warm cheeks with pale fingers, until she closed her eyes and took a long breath before she got up and left.

Going out from the Huanhuan Pavilion, it was like washing under the moonlight, and the purple clothes stretched in the night wind like a bright moon and flowing clouds. The princess waiting outside the courtyard had to raise her hand and wave a leaf to stop her flowing figure.

Qin Sang tapped the branch with her toes, and it landed lightly two feet away from Zhennan Wangfei. She was blessed, smiled and greeted in a low voice: "Wangfei is well."

Princess Zhennan turned her body slightly, "Emissary Qianmi is well. Can Xiaoli sleep?"

Qin Sang nodded and smiled: "Your Majesty is waiting here late at night, but do you have something to say to Qin Sang?"

"Yes." Princess Zhennan sighed, "I'm counting the days that you should come to see her tonight, and I've waited for you to give you an idea: Xiaoli is fourteen years old, and it's time to say kiss. After all, I'm not She is closely related by blood, and she is ignorant, so she asked the Qian secret envoy to give her an idea."

"Your Majesty is hesitant among the four young masters of the Ji family?" Qin Sang asked with a smile.

The princess did not hide from her, nodded and said: "With Xiaoli's temperament, it is of course best to stay in the mansion. Ji Dong is already talking about marriage, Ji Xi and Ji Bei are both good, and they also have feelings for Xiaoli." , but Yanyang doesn't like Xiaoli, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always difficult. As for Ji Nan," the princess looked up at Qin Sang, "you know it, so I don't need to say more."

If it wasn't for this young girl with a thousand secret bloodlines back then, she would not have been able to fulfill her long-cherished wish and become pregnant with Ji Nan. She has taken care of Xiaoli for so many years. gratitude.

So even though her only blood Ji Nan needed this marriage so much, she still didn't want to delay Xiao Li's life.

Of course Qin Sang knew.

Her blood was used as medicine, and the princess was cured of her stubborn illness. But the blood of Qianmi Saintess is so pure and so yin, the princess could only give birth to a daughter after taking the medicine.

The eldest son of King Zhennan, the Lord of the White Tiger Gate, and the new mighty general Ji Nan is a girl.

The author has something to say: Of course I will accept you after worshiping heaven and earth, don’t worry~ Miss Xiaoli, you have to listen to your master’s "teaching" carefully, and you can't be "naughty", you know
