Moonlight and wind

"I will serve you personally from now on!"

Ning looked at the boy kneeling on the ground and said, "He looks familiar!"

"That time when the young master came to the mansion, I deserved it. I blocked the young master's way at the door, and the young master slapped me a few times."

"So it's you!" Qu Ning just remembered, "You come to serve me? I'm afraid you are the spy that girl planted next to me?"

"I dare not! I am not familiar with the young lady, and I have never had the opportunity to serve the master. I only did rough work, and later I was transferred to the porch. Now that the young master is here, I have benefited from the young master's influence. It is my blessing to be able to serve the young master personally!"

"What a sharp tongue you have!" Guixiang said, "As long as you serve the young master wholeheartedly, you will get benefits in the future!" "Thank you, aunt! Thank you, young master!"

"Mother, what should we do next?" asked Ning, leaning on the table.

"We must not let that girl succeed in the talent show! If she succeeds, we will never be able to make a name for ourselves!"

"Mother is right, but we have no power to change Father's decision to select a talent show!"

"Ning'er, we are going to fail to let her participate in the talent show. She won't even have the chance to participate in the talent show!"

"Mother, do you have any good ideas?" "Come here!" Guixiang waved her hand, and Qu Ning leaned over to her ear. The two whispered to each other and smiled evilly. A scheme to ruin someone's reputation was born!

"Yue'er, the audition will be in ten days. You must practice hard. Dad is counting on you!" Qu Hanlin came to Qu Xuanyue's room and did not mention a word about Guixiang's incident in the morning.

"Yue'er will agree to my father's request, but Yue'er has a condition."

"You said, as long as you are willing to participate in the draft, Dad will agree to any conditions you want!"

"My mother has been gone for more than ten years, and I have never heard my father mention her in these ten years. When my mother passed away, Yue'er was still young, and I have very few memories of her. Now that Yue'er is about to participate in the talent show, I am afraid that we will see each other even less in the future. Yue'er hopes that my father can tell me about my mother."

"This..." Hanlin Qu hesitated for a moment, "Well, now that you can enter the palace smoothly, it's okay to tell you!" "Serve tea!"

"Young Master, there is a servant outside the door who was stopped by the guards. He said that Miss Qu asked them to come and see you."

"Then let him in. Do I have to go out to see him?" Shan Zimo was staring at Princess Jin Yu in the hall, not knowing what to do.

"My humble servant Shunxi greets the young master!"

"What instructions does your lady have?"

"The young lady asked me to pass a message to the young master, saying that the young master and Master Yuwen will not be bothered with the matters at the mansion. The young lady has her own way, so please stay in Wudu for a while."

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know about that little one." Shun Xi said with a silly smile.

"It's you!" Jian Yun saw the servant looking up, "He is the servant who picked me up at the mansion before!" Jian Yun introduced him to the two, "Is your injury healed?"

"It's all right now. Thank you for your concern!"

"I haven't seen you on the porch in a while."

"Yes, sir. Now the lady has arranged for me to be by the side of Master Quning as a personal attendant."

"Oh?" Shan Zimo became interested. "Be her spy?"

"My lady treats me like a family member. Even if it means I have to go through fire and water, I will not hesitate. My lady has her own reasons for making such arrangements. I will just follow her instructions."

"Look!" Shan Zimo pointed at Shunxi and said to Shan Boyu, "Look at him!" Shan Boyu pretended not to see and looked around.

"Okay, I understand the situation. You can go back and don't let that kid Qu Ning get suspicious!" After saying that, Shunxi quietly slipped back to the Hanlin Mansion.

"I met your mother before I entered Wudu to take the exam," said Hanlin Que, holding a cup of tea. "In those years, I traveled around Wuguo with a few good friends, from the north to the East China Sea, and from the East China Sea to South Xinjiang. It was in South Xinjiang that I met your mother, Hua Zhiyi, who was elegant and heroic. I, your father, was deeply attracted by her martial arts temperament. Later, we fell in love. One night, she hurried to the restaurant where I was staying and asked me to take her away. Seeing her anxious look, I didn't dare to ask too much, nor did I dare to delay, so I took her away from South Xinjiang and returned to Wudu overnight. Later, we got married and had you."

At this point, Hanlin Que's expression became sad. "I originally thought that our family of three could live peacefully, but one day, several martial artists came to my house and insisted on taking Zhiyi away. Fortunately, the patrolling guards came to my house and they left in a hurry. That day, your mother told me that she was originally a disciple of the Luohui Sect in Southern Xinjiang. Because she fell in love with me, she violated the sect rules and left the mountain without permission. Now the leader of the sect is searching for her throughout the Wu Kingdom."

"What will be the consequences of being caught?" Xuanyue asked anxiously.

"According to the information I have collected about the Luohui Sect over the years, if your mother is captured, not only will her martial arts skills be abolished, but she will also die of old age in the sect's forbidden area!"

"How did mother do later?"

"Your mother left me a note, asking me to protect you. If the Luohui Cult knew of your existence, they would probably wipe you out completely! This is why my father insisted on letting you enter the palace, because only there, in addition to the protection of martial arts masters, is it a place where the Luohui Cult dare not act rashly!"

"Father..." Upon hearing this, Xuanyue was somewhat moved.

"Your mother left the Hanlin Mansion after nightfall and there has been no news from her since then..." At this point, Hanlin Qun burst into tears.

"Miss, will you participate in the talent show?" After seeing off Qu Hanlin, Zi Ling'er asked Qu Xuanyue softly.

"Although my mother has given me instructions and my father is doing this for my own good, that is not what I want. I will not enter the palace. As for the talent show, there are some people who don't want me to participate even more than I do. We just have to wait!" Xuanyue picked up the note left by her mother and started reading it.

"Zhenzhu is back again!" Zi Ling'er picked up the chubby big white cat at the door, "She must have come back after having a good meal at the young master's place!"

Xuanyue put down the letter, took Pearl, stroked its hair, and felt a small brocade bag hanging around its neck under its chubby chin.

When he opened the brocade bag, there was a small note inside, which read: "Stay tuned for good news."

Xuanyue smiled knowingly, but was caught by Zi Ling'er, "Oh, I see," Zi Ling'er said mischievously, "Miss, you are attracted to Master Shan!"

"Ling'er! How can you talk about such a thing without any hesitation!" Xuanyue's face suddenly turned red to her ears.

"Speaking of which, if I can marry the eldest young master of the world's number one sect instead of entering the palace, it would also be a good choice!"

"You are talking more nonsense!" Qu Xuanyue stood up and wanted to hit Zi Ling'er, "It seems that Ling'er is right, why don't we let the master talk about it and the young master will get married!" After saying that, Zi Ling'er ran out of the wing room. "You bad girl, let's see if you will come back!"

"Oh! She still looks like a lady from a noble family!" Guixiang flashed in from outside the door, "She is so shameless that she chooses her own husband!"

"That's much better than taking advantage of someone's misfortune and climbing into someone else's bed!"

"You!" Guixiang was so angry that she trembled. "This is terrible. We can't keep a young lady like this!"
