That was fifteen years ago.
Now well-known in the capital, the most powerful Qian secret envoy under the Empress Dowager Duanmi was only a seven-year-old girl who passed out on the mountain road in the early spring morning, with a baby girl tightly hugged in her arms.
Princess Zhennan happened to take the way to offer incense, rescued her and the little baby girl, and took them to the temple on the mountain along the way.
At that time, the princess had been married into the Zhennan Palace for many years, but she was unable to conceive due to serious injuries. She went to the temple to burn incense that day to pray for a child.
The seven-year-old girl who was rescued woke up and heard the princess' prayer for a child. In exchange, she entrusted the baby girl to the princess' care.
The first living saint of the Qianmi tribe in a hundred years used blood as medicine to heal the princess' long-standing illness, and she became pregnant in the second month as she wished.
And that baby girl was adopted by the princess as a foster daughter, and she took good care of her to grow up, and she is now Ji Xiaoli.
Fifteen years have passed since these things, but when I think about them, it seems like yesterday.
The infant baby girl has grown to the age suitable for marriage. The little girl who was dizzy on the side of the road is now a thousand-secret messenger in the capital, and the princess is still a princess. Years, now riding a tiger is hard to get off.
The princess was melancholy, and sighed slightly and long.
Qin Sang probably also recalled the past, the gentle expression on her clear side face was like an old dream.
"The empress has raised Xiaoli for so many years, she treats her as her own child, and her mother's heart is pure, Qin Sang can trust her." The envoy Qian Mi, who is as famous for her cruel methods as she is for her beauty in Shangjing, smiled slightly, and thanked her in a low voice sincerely. , "Let the empress be the master of Xiaoli's marriage. Marriage is determined by God, and I believe in fate."
Princess Zhennan hesitated for a while before asking: "Since that's the case, let me ask: Is the National Teacher's Mansion related to Xiaoli's life experience?"
What happened on the day of the hairpin hair ceremony, it was obvious that someone sent Xiao Li to the National Teacher's Mansion by the empress's hand, but she couldn't figure out who it was after thinking for a long time? What is the intention
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter." Qin Sang lightly squeezed her sleeves with her fingertips, and her smile became wider, "My Majesty just treats Xiao Li as an ordinary daughter, and you can plan for her with your strength, the rest depends on her fate gone."
Since she didn't want to say more, the concubine didn't have anything more to ask, so she nodded and agreed.
The purple figure disappeared in the moonlight within a few breaths. Princess Zhennan watched her disappear, and stood for a while before turning around and leaving.

The next morning, Xiaoli woke up without being called, and had a hearty breakfast at Wangfei's place, and it was Ji Xi and Ji Bei who sent her to the National Teacher's Mansion together.
When setting off, Ji Xiaoli looked around and asked reluctantly, "Where's Ji Nan?"
Ji Xi's handsome eyes flashed.
On that side, Ji Bei had already told her carelessly: "It is said that His Royal Highness the Second Prince got a good sword, so he sent someone here early in the morning, and asked Xiaosi to try the sword."
"Oh." Xiao Li just asked casually. Seeing their horses being brought out, she immediately clamored to ride them too.
Ji Bei knocked her on the head: "We have to send you back to the barracks. How long are you going to delay riding a horse?"
Xiao Li hurt from being knocked, covered his head and quarreled with him, the two were arguing, Ji Xi came over, lifted and pushed the little girl, and helped him onto his horse.
He turned himself over, and then frowned at Ji Bei who was dumbfounded: "Still leaving?"
Ji Bei looked at the two people riding the same horse, as if they were embracing each other, and hopped and refused: "Second brother, you can't ride fast with her, and it will waste time!"
Ji Xi held down the jubilant little girl, raised her eyebrows and challenged her younger brother: "Then let's have a try?"
"Try it!" Ji Bei's blood boiled with excitement - the two brothers were evenly matched, and he didn't believe that he would lose to him and a little idiot alone!
Turning on his horse, Ji Sanshao galloped off in a heroic manner.
One person and one rider in front of him had already gone away, but Ji Xi was very calm, and he paced forward with his famous horse of a thousand miles.
Xiao Li twisted anxiously in his arms, urging: "Second brother, hurry up! Ji Bei is going to win!"
"Let him win." Ji Xi curled the corners of his lips comfortably in the warm spring breeze, "I... don't want to do that."
The little girl who had been dizzy from hearing four words since she was a child was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't it here? Where is the second brother's mole?"
Ji Xi smiled even wider, looked down at the flower-like face of the girl in her arms, shook her head and smiled lowly: "... little idiot!"
"Xiao Li," he suddenly changed his tone, "Jinan didn't come to see you off this morning, are you disappointed?"
Xiao Li was pulling the horse's hair to play with, when he heard this, he nodded heavily: "Well, lost!"
She asked the concubine about it. Ice silk is a rare material. It is said that the ice silkworms in the world can only get a piece of ice silk when they catch silk that can be spun for ten days. Black ice silk is even rarer and rare. Not even much in the tribute. She rummaged through the palace and the storerooms of the princess, even the princess's place secretly, not a single inch was found. Ji Nan promised to find her a horse in the palace, but he ran to compete with that second prince again - what is the sword like? What sword can compare with her master
So lost!
The person hugging her was silent after hearing this answer, and the tone was a little lower when she spoke again: "Xiao Li, do you like Ji Nan?"
"Like it!"
"... more than liking me?"
Xiaoli thought for a while: "Almost~"
Ji Xi was dissatisfied with this answer: "There must be something a little different, right? Who does Xiaoli like the most?"
"I like it the most... I like my master the most!"
Only Master can help her cultivate immortality!
Now her heart and eyes are full of her lovely master!
Ji Xi sighed, this silly girl, after all, she can't be expected to get enlightened.
But Ji Nan is not a man after all, the princess loves Xiaoli so much, if there is a better choice, she will definitely not marry Xiaoli to Ji Nan. Eldest brother will get married when he comes back triumphantly this time. When the time comes, father and mother will be happy, and the concubine will be the one to intercede, so it should be sure.
As for her master... The young hero Ji Ershao doesn't think that a fortune teller has any fighting power—a master national teacher who can only scare people with a cold face is not as threatening as Ji Nan who disguises himself as a man~
The little girl hugged him all the way in the spring to enjoy the scenery, the two talked and laughed very comfortably.
When they were ten miles away from the National Teacher's Mansion, Ji Bei was already furious. When he saw them, he threw his horsewhip, pointed at Ji Xi and jumped up and down and yelled, "You lost! You lost, you lost!"
Ji Xi had a pleasant face and was very calm: "Well, I lost. So what?"
Ji Bei was dumbfounded again: Yes, so what
Ji Xi put the silly brother aside, tenderly sent the happy little girl to the carriage of the National Teacher's Mansion, until she was no longer seen, he got on the horse with great ambition.
"Come on, let's have another match! The one who loses will be the winner!" Before he finished speaking, the energetic young man had already galloped away.
Ji Bei woke up like a dream, got on his horse and chased him in a panic, and screamed in the wind with tears streaming down his face: "You sneaked away!"
**
As soon as Ji Xiaoli returned to the mansion, she couldn't wait to run to the Star Observation Building to find her lovely master.
She brought all her favorite and rarest things, all to be dedicated to him!
Chen Yubai watched the stars all night last night and was sleeping on the couch. The little girl who had no eyesight at all ran in: "Master! I'm back!"
The national teacher who was sleeping elegantly and lightly woke up suddenly by the roar, frowned displeased, closed his eyes, and didn't want to see her.
But Ji Xiaoli excitedly ran up to him, put the burden on his back on his couch with a "boom", and he also jumped up and down, and started to dig things out with great interest.
"Master, look, this is a stone from Donglu Mountain—Master knows Donglu Mountain, right? It's the highest mountain in the fairy world. Have you ever been there, Master?"
"This is the aquatic plants of Wanhu Lake! Where is Wanhu Lake in the fairy world, Master? Can the lake water really bring the dead back to life, Master?"
She brought all the treasures she had collected for many years, and while she was talking and asking, she took out, and a dazzling array filled half of the couch.
Chen Yubai originally closed his eyes to mean to reject people thousands of miles away, but the person he wanted to reject didn't understand at all.
A stone-like fluff blanket pressed down on Master Guoshi's legs with a "bang", and the thin and smooth black ice silk bulged and fell in horror. Chen Yubai finally opened his eyes unbearably.
With no expression on his face, he secretly pulled his leg out, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Put these things away, and then step back ten steps away from me!"
"What's the matter? Doesn't Master like these?" Ji Xiaoli looked at him in surprise, and suddenly realized: "Oh - Master has been annoyed by these things every day in the fairy world, hasn't he?"
Chen Yubai was at a loss for words, closed his eyes, and said in an extremely depressing and concise tone: "I don't like people to be close to me."
So stay away from me! You and your mess! Stay away from me from now on!
In this way, Ji Xiaoli understands!
She had a face of "I understand", and asked with bright eyes: "Ordinary people will be contaminated with immortality when they get close, right?!"
Chen Yubai only begged her to go away quickly, and nodded without any other choice.
Unexpectedly, she immediately swooped!
Master Guoshi was not prepared. He was sitting so close and was sitting slightly backward. She fell down on the couch with a solid "bang", with her on his body.
Ji Xiaoli tightly hugged her master's head with both hands, and rubbed against him frantically.
Immortal energy, immortal energy, come to me soon!
It was the first time in Chen Yubai's life that someone threw him down, the first time someone hugged him warmly, and the first time a living person dared to press him down like this, and dared to rub against him... For a moment, his blood froze all over his body, and he was stunned. There.
Xiaotian reported twice outside the door but got no response, and was hesitating to report for the third time. The sixth prince who was holding two black ice silks was already impatient, pushed the little boy away, kicked the door open and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see the hot and rhythmic scene on the couch... The most honorable sixth prince of the night stayed there with his mouth wide open.
The second prince came in after him, and was startled when he saw this, but then smiled slightly.
Chen Yubai came to his senses, and angrily waved his sleeves to brush off the person on his body. Ji Xiaoli was sent flying out of his caress. The second prince gently pushed the sixth prince in front of him, and the sixth prince was pushed away. He staggered a step forward and barely stood still. The person had already flown over, and he subconsciously threw away the ice silk to catch her.
