The moonlight is cold and falls on the windowsill.
In a certain boudoir, red candles flickered, and light gauze curtains were drawn.
A girl in a snow-white dress was sitting quietly in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees, looking at the jade in her hands with her beautiful eyes.
A head of jet-black hair flows softly down from her shoulders; under the snow-white skirt are a pair of slender feet in stockings; those pure and beautiful eyes are blinking, as if expecting something.
After a moment, the message came back.
She opened her eyes wide.
Luo Qingzhou: Thinking of you
She looked at the message, was silent for a while, stretched out her slender jade fingers, and replied on the jade stone: Oh
Of course she wouldn't believe it.
Obviously, this wasn't from him.
At this time, the message came back: Sister Yue, what are you doing? Are you thinking about me too
The girl narrowed her eyes and replied: I am thinking about my previous husband.
After sending it, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
at the same time.
In another room, on the bed.
Luo Qingzhou said with embarrassment: "Second Miss, this is not good, right? Can you please not send it like this? Sister Yue will be angry."
Miss Qin, who was lying in his arms, stared at the surface of the jade with her eyes wide open and said, "It's okay, she won't be angry."
At this time, Sister Yue replied: Thinking about my previous husband
When Luo Qingzhou saw this message, the corners of his mouth twitched and he felt even more embarrassed.
Miss Qin Er's eyes sparkled, she picked up his finger again and replied: Sister Yue, was your previous husband very unfaithful
Sister Yue: Does it have anything to do with you
Miss Qin Er: Of course it matters. Sister Yue should stop thinking about a man who is so philandering. Instead of thinking about that philandering man who treats you badly all day, it is better to cherish the one in front of you.
Luo Qingzhou quickly pulled her fingers away, not letting her send the message out, and said anxiously: "Second Miss, don't send it. If we chat like this, I won't be able to face Sister Yue in the future. It's very embarrassing and shameful, you know."
Miss Qin Er looked at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, it's okay, believe me. If you can't take this step, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in the future. Think about how Wei Mo pursued you before? Wasn't he shameless, always actively looking for you to chat, and even actively throwing himself into your arms. You are a man, you are not afraid of killing people, so why are you afraid of losing face?"
Luo Qingzhou said quickly: "Sister Yue is different, she and I..."
"Brother Qingzhou."
Miss Qin Er interrupted him, looked him in the eyes and said, "Wei Mo just wants to ask you one question, do you like her?"
"I... I don't know..."
"Send it out."
Miss Qin Er grabbed his finger and clicked send.
Luo Qingzhou closed his eyes, and the image of Sister Yue’s reaction after seeing the news emerged in his mind.
Soon, the message came back.
Sister Yue: Who is the person in front of you
Miss Qin Er grabbed his finger and was about to reply when the message came back again.
Sister Yue: I found out how to practice and upgrade the Thunder Spirit Root
Luo Qingzhou took one look and quickly replied: Sister Yue, please tell me.
At this time, Miss Qin Er looked at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, have you noticed that Sister Yue and you both seem to like to use other things to change the subject?"
Luo Qingzhou: "... Is there?"
At this time, the message came back: if the body and soul are promoted, it will also be promoted. If you want to practice it alone, you need to fly up to the sky on a thunderstorm night, absorb the power of thunder and lightning, and take special pills.
Luo Qingzhou: It sounds a bit troublesome, so I can only let it go and upgrade it while cultivating my body and soul.
Sister Yue: Actually it’s not a problem
Luo Qingzhou: If you want to absorb lightning, there won't be lightning every night. As for the special elixir, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Sister Yue: You can use formations to draw out lightning. Also, you can specifically help others to survive the thunder tribulation and take the opportunity to absorb the lightning. That will be more effective. Because the lightning that appears during the thunder tribulation is more powerful than ordinary lightning. As for the elixir, I can help you
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw Miss Qin II staring at him quietly with her eyes wide open.
"Brother Qingzhou, she wants to help you again."
Miss Qin Er looked at him and said with a complicated expression: "Those pills are probably harder to make, right? She actually said it so easily. I can help you... But I'm afraid that the materials for those pills are not easier to find than the herbs that Wei Mo uses to treat diseases, right? She may take a big risk to help you find them. She... is so good to you."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a while, and replied: Sister Yue, no need, I think it is better to let nature take its course. Besides, my body and soul are both being cultivated and improving, so I don't need to upgrade the root of the thunder spirit quickly.
Sister Yue: That’s different. After you upgrade your Thunder Spirit Root, you are no longer just a warrior. You will understand later.
Luo Qingzhou said: I don't want your help
Sister Yue: Why
Luo Qingzhou: I already owe you too much, and I can't repay you in my lifetime. I don't want to owe you any more.
Miss Qin Er hurriedly said: "Brother Qingzhou, withdraw, don't say that."
But Luo Qingzhou did not withdraw.
Sister Yue: Oh
Miss Qin sighed softly and complained in a low voice: "Idiot."
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, I want to help you, not ask you to help me all the time. Can you give me a chance
Miss Qin Er kissed him and said, "That's right."
Sister Yue: Then help me kill someone
Luo Qingzhou: No help
Miss Qin Er asked in confusion: "Brother Qingzhou, she hasn't even said who she's going to kill yet."
Luo Qingzhou was speechless and said, "She wants me to help her kill her husband. How can I possibly do it? What if she resents me?"
Miss Qin Er: "...kill, her...husband?"
Sister Yue: Good night
Luo Qingzhou: Sister Yue, I can help you kill other people, except him, other bad guys are fine.
The other party did not reply.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while and had to put away the message.
Miss Qin Er still frowned slightly, thinking about something.
Luo Qingzhou stroked her soft hair and wondered in his heart whether Sister Yue really wanted to kill her husband or was just testing him.
The room became quiet.
Luo Qingzhou's hand slowly moved from the girl's hair to her neck, and then slowly reached in...
"Brother Qingzhou, is this inconvenient? Weimo, please take off your underwear..."
"Ahem, no need, go to sleep."
"Brother Qingzhou, Weimo wants to..."
“Snoring…Snoring…”
"Woo... bite you!"
"Hiss..."
Outside the window, a silver moon hangs in the night sky, lonely and cold.
The girl in the white dress behind the curtain was still hugging her knees, sitting quietly in the corner of the bed, in a daze.
At this moment, the jade in her hand suddenly lit up.
Xiaoyue: Senior Sister, will you come to the palace tomorrow
She replied: Is there something wrong
Xiaoyue: Aren't you coming with your husband? There are so many vixens in the palace, won't you help your sister keep an eye on him
She didn't reply.
At this time, Xiaoyue sent another message: Senior sister, can you come to help me? As long as you help me, I will definitely succeed. When the time comes, I will give your family the highest honor and reward.
Xiaoyue: Senior sister, I didn't ask you to use the sect's skills. In order to avoid that marriage, you not only practiced the skills that prevented you from getting emotional, but also practiced other skills, right? I know you are still very powerful. Come and help me. Only if I succeed, your family will be safe. Your husband sees it most clearly, doesn't he
Xiaoyue: Senior sister, if you don't help me, I will go and ask my brother for help. There is a master of spirit in the palace. I can't beat him. My brother's lightning can just restrain him.
She paused and finally replied: Do you want to reveal your identity
Xiaoyue: It's exposed, it will be exposed in the future anyway, and if I expose it to my brother, he might like me more. Who doesn't like a beautiful and domineering queen who is high above? During the day, he kneels at the feet of the queen, respectful and humble, and at night, the queen kneels at his feet, looking up at her beautiful little face that is humble and obsessed, and calls her brother and brother in a delicate voice... Ugh—I can't take it anymore, senior sister, I'll vomit for a while first...
Xiaoyue: Forget it, my physical body still can't accept it. Just thinking about that picture is scary. Senior sister, you can't tell him secretly.
Behind the curtains, the girl put away the message and did not reply.
She still sat quietly in the corner until the red candle on the bedside candlestick burned out and the whole room fell into darkness...
The night passes quietly.
The next day, just after daybreak, Song Ruyue came to Meixiang Garden and urged them to get up quickly.
If it's any later, there will be so many people entering the inner city that it will be difficult for carriages to pass through.
Zhu'er went to open the gate.
Qiu Er came to the door of the room and knocked, calling softly, "Sir, Miss, it's time to get up, the Madam is here."
Luo Qingzhou woke up from his dream, looked at Miss Qin in his arms for a while, took his hand out of her bellyband, and asked, "When did you wake up?"
Miss Qin Er chuckled and said, "I've been awake for a long time, and I've been watching you sleep. Brother Qingzhou, did you have a sweet dream?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "No."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "No? But you were talking while pinching it with your hands, and you were laughing happily."
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment and said, "What did I say?"
Miss Qin Er said: "Rabbit, Rabbit... Let me play for a while..."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Miss Qin Er said again: "By the way, Brother Qingzhou, I also heard you call Sister Yue."
"How is that possible!"
Luo Qingzhou immediately sat up, and while putting on his clothes, he said seriously: "Don't slander me! Sister Yue and I have a clean conscience. I have never touched her, so how could I have dreamed of pinching her..."
Second Miss Qin laughed and said, "Brother Qingzhou, you have confessed. I didn't say those two sentences were connected. You called Sister Yue last night, and this morning when you were playing with the rabbit, you called... Little Bailing."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Nonsense! Stop slandering my husband!"
He threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and quickly put on his clothes.
Miss Qin Er sat up from the quilt with her long hair loose. The thin rope at the back had been untied, and the bellyband on her chest had almost slipped off, revealing her snow-white skin and a pair of half-covered tall breasts. She whispered, "Brother Qingzhou, are you bringing Xia Chan with you today?"
Luo Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Don't bring her. There will be too many people and she will feel uncomfortable."
Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "Then bring Xiao Bailing with you. She likes lively places the most."
Luo Qingzhou combed his hair and said, "If I don't bring Chanchan, I naturally won't bring Bailing either, lest Chanchan gets angry."
Miss Qin Er sighed slightly after hearing this and said, "You have always only cared about Xia Chan's feelings, but never cared about Bai Ling's feelings, right?"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "Bai Ling is lively and cheerful, unlike Chan Chan."
Miss Qin Er said: "But Bailing is also a girl, she also needs someone to care about her, someone to pay attention to her, someone to think about her when speaking and doing things."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said: "Bai Ling, I can't see through it."
Miss Qin was slightly startled and asked, "What can't you see through?"
Luo Qingzhou shrugged without answering. He walked to the bedside, helped her tie her bellyband, stroked her head and said, "It's still early, you can go back to sleep. You can go to the West Lake with the young lady today. There probably won't be many people in the outer city, so you can go there quietly. Remember to let Chanchan and Bailing accompany you."
Miss Qin Er hugged him and said to him, "Brother Qingzhou, will anything happen when you enter the palace today?"
Luo Qingzhou stroked her hair and said, "No."
After a pause, he continued, "The time has not come yet. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to see the palace and the masters of various sects. If there is a chance, I will also meet the eldest princess."
Miss Qin raised her beautiful face and said, "Dear..."
Luo Qingzhou's heart was filled with tenderness. He lowered his head and kissed her little mouth.
The two hugged each other and kissed for a long time. Song Ruyue, who was waiting outside, couldn't help but knock on the door and shouted, "Qingzhou, what are you still dawdling in there for? It will be too late if you don't get up now!"
Luo Qingzhou then remembered that his mother-in-law was still waiting outside.
“Here it comes!”
He quickly let go of Miss Qin Er, wiped his mouth, walked over quickly, opened the door, and walked out.
Song Ruyue was wearing a moon-white dress today, with a thick fox fur coat draped over it. She had a little makeup on her pretty young face, and she was scented with a faint scent of incense. She also changed her earrings and hair accessories, and she was really dressed up carefully.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her, bowed his head and greeted her, then put on his shoes with Qiu'er's help and went out to wash up.
Seeing him go out, Song Ruyue hesitated for a moment, took off her shoes, entered the room, walked towards the inner room, and whispered, "Wei Mo, are you awake?"
Miss Qin Er wrapped herself in a warm quilt and said, "Mother, I'm not awake."
Song Ruyue laughed, pushed aside the beaded curtain, walked in, and pulled aside the curtain beside the bed. She stared at her for a few seconds and asked in a low voice, "You didn't do that with that boy, did you?"
Miss Qin opened her big, innocent eyes and asked, "Which one?"
Song Ruyue said: "That's it."
As he spoke, he touched his two index fingers together and nodded.
Miss Qin Er had an innocent expression on her face: "Mother, can you explain it more clearly? I don't understand."
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's love. Did that boy spend his wedding night with you?"
Miss Qin sighed softly and said, "Brother Qingzhou despises my weakness and won't touch me."
Song Ruyue frowned slightly and said, "You've been taking the medicine for more than two months, so it should be fine now. You rarely cough now, right?"
Miss Qin II blinked her long eyelashes and pleaded pitifully, "Mother, why don't you go and persuade Brother Qingzhou, or just use your mother-in-law's authority to give him an order?"
Song Ruyue's face froze for a moment, and she said, "How can that be possible? Mother can't get involved in this kind of thing, so I can only mention it in a tactful way."
"Why… "
Miss Qin Er looked worried and sighed again.
Song Ruyue looked at the sky outside and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You can continue to rest. Go out and play with Jianjia today, or just stay at home. We will be back in the evening."
After saying that, he hurried out of the room.
Luo Qingzhou had just finished washing up and was waiting in the courtyard. When he saw her come out, he hurriedly followed her.
Song Ruyue looked at him meaningfully and took him out.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, they saw a head poking out from behind a big tree in front of them. It gave them a furtive look and then immediately shrank back.
Song Ruyue frowned and said, "Isn't that Bailing? Why is she hiding there?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately shouted: "Bai Ling, Madam has seen you, why don't you come out quickly."
Bai Ling had no choice but to come out from behind the tree and said with a pitiful look, "Madam, Bai Ling also wants to play with you."
Song Ruyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you want to go, let's go together. I didn't say that you can't go."
Bai Ling pouted immediately and complained aggrievedly: "My son-in-law won't let me go."
Song Ruyue turned around and asked in confusion, "Qingzhou, why don't you let Bailing go?"
Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "I never said that."
He only told the second young lady and never told this girl at all.
Wait, was this girl eavesdropping on his and the second young lady’s private conversation outside the window just now
Bai Ling said angrily, "My uncle clearly said that! When we were having dinner last night, he said that pretty girls couldn't go because they might attract the attention of bad guys. Hum, Madam heard that, too, didn't she?"
Song Ruyue was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She immediately laughed and said, "Girl, you are just bragging in a fancy way."
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, don't waste time, it will be dawn soon."
Bai Ling immediately ran over with a smile on her face, took her hand, and said in a flattering tone: "Madam, I will help you."
Then she rolled her eyes at Luo Qingzhou and pouted: "Humph!"
Luo Qingzhou glanced back and was hesitating when Bailing said again, "No need to look for Chanchan. Chanchan is not going. She wants to accompany the young lady and the second young lady to visit the West Lake."
Only then did Luo Qingzhou follow behind the two of them.
There was already a carriage waiting in front of the gate outside the mansion.
Qin Lang left after dinner last night.
Qin Chuan was living at home and was woken up by Song Ruyue early in the morning. At this time, he was doing boxing in the front yard while waiting for others.
When he saw Luo Qingzhou coming, he quickly called out, "Qingzhou, come here. Are you still practicing the Thunder Fist that my second brother taught you?"
Luo Qingzhou walked up to him and said, "I practice occasionally."
Qin Chuan immediately said, "Throw a few punches and let me see. If you can't do this set of boxing well, I'll teach you another set specifically for fitness. I learned it from the academy and I'm going to teach it to you so that you can strengthen your body."
At this time, Qin Wenzheng walked out of the hall and said, "It's time to go. Let's talk about it when we come back."
Qin Chuan stopped his stance and suddenly reached out and pinched Luo Qingzhou's shoulder.
Just as he used a little strength, Luo Qingzhou suddenly cried out "Aiya", his shoulders shrank, his body went limp, and he was about to fall.
Qin Chuan quickly supported him and couldn't help but said, "Qingzhou, you are too weak. Second brother didn't even use his strength."
Luo Qingzhou rubbed his shoulder and said: "It hurts..."
Qin Chuan was a little speechless, patted his arm and said: "When we have time, Second Brother will help you to sharpen your muscles and bones. You can't be in this state now, let alone protect Wei Mo. I'm afraid you will be plagued by diseases at a young age."
Qin Wen Zheng glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and walked ahead.
Song Ruyue couldn't help but scold him: "Qingzhou is a scholar, how can he be the same as you? You are as strong as a bull now, what's the use? Don't you even have a wife? Look at Qingzhou..."
Having said this, she said no more.
Qin Chuan's face froze, and he said, "Mother, I'm talking to Qing Zhou, you..."
Song Ruyue glared and said, "What's wrong with you talking to Qingzhou? I can't interrupt?"
Qin Chuan's neck shrank immediately: "Can..."
"snort!"
Song Ruyue snorted coldly and walked out the door.
Luo Qingzhou and Qin Chuan followed behind.
The family of four got on the same carriage, with only two maids, Bailing and Mei'er, following them.
Not everyone can enter the palace.
Although Luo Qingzhou could bring a few more, it was not necessary.
Song Ruyue pulled Bailing and sat together with Mei'er.
Luo Qingzhou, Qin Chuan, and Qin Wenzhen sat together.
Several people looked at each other, seemingly trying to find a topic to talk about.
At this time, the night had completely faded away, and the morning sun peeked out from the eastern hilltops, shining brightly.
The number of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on the streets has begun to increase, all heading towards the inner city.
Although most people could not enter the palace to attend the Taikang Banquet, there were also many programs in the inner city, which attracted men, women, young and old from the outer city to flock to the inner city.
The Taikang Banquet is held every three years and was founded by the founding emperor of Dayan. It was originally intended to pray to heaven for peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and to express gratitude to the five major sects for their original achievements.
No envoys from neighboring countries were invited to the first banquet.
But since Dayan became more and more prosperous and powerful, every time this time comes, neighboring countries will send envoys to take the initiative to congratulate, and slowly it has formed the grand occasion of today.
Many important issues between the two countries will also be discussed and decided at the event.
For example, the eldest princess’s marriage this time.
The eldest princess is the priceless treasure of Dayan, and everyone in the neighboring countries knows her.
So this wedding naturally attracted a lot of attention.
In addition to the neighboring countries that were salivating over the prospect, the major sects and super martial arts families in Dayan were naturally also tempted.
Luo Qingzhou was sitting in the carriage, and along the way he heard passers-by talking about this grand event and the eldest princess's marriage.
After listening for a while, Song Ruyue couldn't help but ask, "Chuan'er, will your college send someone to participate?"
Qin Chuan said: "Of course, our school must participate in the annual Taikang Banquet."
Song Ruyue's face turned serious and she said, "I'm talking about the eldest princess's marriage! Isn't this banquet about choosing a consort for the eldest princess? Will your Dragon Tiger Academy send someone to attend?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of this."
Bai Ling said crisply, "Second Young Master, if your academy can also participate, you can go and try."
Qin Chuan smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "Who do I think I am? With my family background and strength, I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to play."
“Bang!”
Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Song Ruyue slapped him on the thigh and glared at him, "Rebellious son! You look down on our Qin family because of our poor family background, don't you? You've only been in Dragon and Tiger Academy for a few days, and you already look down on us, don't you?"
Qin Chuan: “…”
Bai Ling covered her mouth and giggled.
Mei'er, standing aside, lowered her head, not daring to say a word or show any expression, for fear that the lady would vent her anger on her again.
The carriage stopped and started, and finally entered the inner city.
When passing by Moxue Bookstore, Luo Qingzhou lifted the curtain and took a look. Suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes at the door of the bookstore, looking at him.
"Mr. Luo!"
Nangong Xueyi got up before dawn and waited here for a long time. She immediately ran to the carriage with excitement and shouted, "Wei Mo! Wei Mo! Pull me up!"
Steward Zhou, who was driving the carriage, quickly reined in the horse.
When Song Ruyue heard the voice and was about to go out, Luo Qingzhou quickly reminded her, "Mother-in-law, you can't let Princess Xueyi come up. If the prince agreed to let her enter the palace, she would definitely go with the carriage of the prince's mansion. Now she is waiting here for us. It must be that the prince does not agree to let her enter the palace, so she came to steal our carriage."
After saying this, Song Ruyue immediately sat down again.
But at this time, Nangong Xueyi had already hurriedly climbed up, lifted the door curtain, and came in. She looked at the people in the carriage with a smile on her face, and then her smile faded, and she asked in confusion: "Uncle, Aunt, why are you here? Where are Weimo and Jianjia?"
Before Song Ruyue could answer, she had already laughed happily again, squeezed into the innermost corner and sat down, looking at the opposite side with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, as long as my cousin's husband is here."
Song Ruyue: “…”
Qin Wenzheng coughed and said, "Xueyi, does the prince agree to let you enter the palace?"
Nangong Xueyi immediately said, "Of course I agree. I went to the palace to talk to the Queen Mother yesterday. She asked me to go early today to talk to her. The Queen Mother's niece, Miss Wan'er, likes me very much. But I thought you were coming, so I came here specially to wait for you."
After a pause, she smiled again and said, "Of course, the most important thing is to wait for my cousin's husband. I went to the palace to talk to Sister Wan'er yesterday. Sister Wan'er admired my cousin's husband very much. She also read a poem written by my cousin's husband. It was written very well, and even the Queen Mother praised it highly. I promised Sister Wan'er yesterday that I would bring my cousin's husband to the harem to meet her today..."
Everyone saw that she was talking excitedly all the time. She had been staring at someone ever since she got on the carriage, as if no one else existed. They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bailing stared at her warily.
