It was still dark and the cold air was blowing. The cold wind was howling outside, making the doors and windows whistle. It started snowing outside.

Li Youran was awakened by the cold and quickly took a pill to prevent a cold. She got up and walked to the window, opened it a little, and a gust of cold wind blew into the room. Heavy snow began to fall outside.

After closing the window, Li Youran dressed very warmly. This time she wore a down jacket inside and a ruqun outside. The ruqun was thickened and very warm.

The boots on his feet were filled with fleece and had foot warmers in them. He also wore a hat with a scarf attached, wrapping himself up tightly.

Han Yan just got up and knocked on Li Youran's door.

Li Youran opened the door and let Han Yan in.

"It must be cold. Put these on. They are prepared for you." Li Youran also prepared a set for Han Yan and placed it on the bed.

"Thank you, Miss. I'll change it right away." Han Yan was very grateful.

Li Youran taught Han Yan how to dress. Han Yan understood and dressed herself. She found that she felt much warmer.

"Miss, it's snowing heavily outside. Let's go out later!" Han Yan just glanced outside and the biting cold wind was really cold.

"I know, I'm listening to see if the big bird can sing!" Li Youran was waiting, so she was not in a hurry to go out.

"Big bird?" Han Yan didn't know what big bird it was.

Li Youran explained it briefly, and Han Yan nodded to show that she understood.

At 7:00 pm, pleasant singing could be heard in the inn. The entire Beiyuan Kingdom could hear the singing. The voice sounded like a woman singing, but the lyrics were filled with sadness...

Anyone who hears it will recall bad past events and become depressed.

Li Youran and Han Yan left the inn. The snow outside had stopped and there were people coming and going on the road, all wrapped up tightly.

Li Youran glanced in the direction of the imperial palace and saw a large colorful bird circling over the palace, flying low and high, singing a song and looking around.

"Miss, the feathers on the big bird's tail are colorful... and the sounds it makes are sounds we can understand..." Han Yan stared at the beautiful bird.

Li Youran had noticed a long time ago that the feathers on the bird's tail were colorful, and it carried colorful light as it flew. The feathers on its body were also colorful, but not messy, and there was a willow of pink feathers on its head.

"Young master, that is the Tianyin Xuanniao..." Yumian shouted in the space, and it also saw the Xuanniao.

"Then why is it hovering above the roof of Beiyuan Kingdom's palace..." Li Youran was puzzled.

"Young master will know if you go and take a look." Yumian felt that the young master would definitely be able to accept the Tianyin Xuanniao.

"It's useless to say anything." Li Youran complained to Yumian in his heart.

"Let's go and take a look!" Li Youran looked up at Han Yan.

Han Yan nodded, and the two of them walked to the vicinity of the palace.

"We have to go in..." Li Youran glanced at the palace gate, which was comparable to the one in Nanxiang Kingdom.

"Miss, how do we get in?" Han Yan glanced at the wall. Why is it so high? It is much higher than the walls of the imperial palace of Nanxiang Kingdom. Even Qinggong may not be able to climb up.

"Of course you can go in openly!" Li Youran said with a smile.

Li Youran sat in the front row, with Han Yan following behind her. She remained alert at all times.

"Hello, big brother!" Li Youran stretched out his little hand and greeted him.

"Hello, who are you? Is there anything I can help you with?" The guard looked at the cute and clever Li Youran, and his voice became a little softer.

"Big brother, can I get into the palace with this token?" Li Youran took out Princess Ruixiang's token from the small cloth bag he carried with him. The words "Nanxiang" were engraved on the back of Princess Ruixiang's token.

"This is the token of Nanxiang Kingdom. Are you Princess Ruixiang?" The guard took the token, looked left and right, then said with his eyes wide open.

"Am I so famous? My fame has spread to Beiyuan Country!" Li Youran asked innocently while biting her finger.

"Princess Ruixiang wants to see His Majesty? Your reputation is known throughout Beiyuan Kingdom. The strange phenomenon in the sky came from Nanxiang Kingdom..." The guard talked about this incessantly and almost forgot his duty.

"Then can I go in?" Li Youran looked at the guard pitifully.

Another guard nearby said fiercely, "No one can just come into the palace to see His Majesty!"

Li Youran hid behind the guard in fear, "Ran'er is afraid..."

The guard immediately squatted down and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you pass the message. Princess Ruixiang, please wait here for a while..."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to enter the palace.

"You are stupid! You just reported it casually with a token. If His Majesty blames us, none of our nine heads can bear the responsibility!" The fierce guard blocked the eldest guard's way.

"Get out of the way, I want to see His Majesty..." The guard walked away in another direction.

"Thank you, this is for you." Li Youran was very grateful to the guard and took out a large silver ingot from a small cloth bag.

"I can't accept this." The guard was shocked when he saw a large, golden silver ingot and quickly refused.

"This is a reward from the princess. Please accept it!" Li Youran said heroically with a serious face.

The guard took it gratefully, said thank you, and hurried into the palace.

Li Youran was waiting outside. The black bird in the sky had stopped singing and no one knew where it had gone. Wasn't it supposed to sing for two hours? It was only one hour now!

The guard came out quickly and returned the jade token to Li Youran. "His Majesty has summoned you. Please follow me in!"

Li Youran swaggered into the palace with Han Yan.

The fierce guard glanced at Li Youran and could only clench his fist angrily. Li Youran pretended not to see it and simply ignored him.

Walking into the palace, turning left and right, the palace was so big that Li Youran felt that her short legs could hardly support her. Later, Han Yan carried Li Youran and walked with him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hanyan." Li Youran looked at Hanyan apologetically.

"Miss, what are you talking about? You are still young and definitely can't walk such a long way." Han Yan continued to walk forward while holding Li Youran.

When the guard in front heard that Li Youran actually cared about his subordinates, he thought that this master treated people very well.

When they arrived at the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the guard left.

Li Youran got down from Han Yan's arms, tidied her appearance, took off the hat and scarf on her head, revealing two little braids and a rosy little face. There was snow on her slightly curled eyelashes, her little nose was red from the cold, and her little mouth was like a cherry.

Eunuch Jiang, who was beside the Emperor of Beiyuan Kingdom, came forward and invited Li Youran into the Yangxin Palace.

"Princess Ruixiang, follow me..." Eunuch Jiang said in a gentle tone.

Li Youran asked Han Yan to wait outside, and followed Eunuch Jiang to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Sitting at the table in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a dragon robe and reviewing memorials. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Li Youran.

Li Youran felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this person. His appearance...

His Majesty Ye Beitian of Beiyuan Kingdom also noticed this little girl. She had a face like a porcelain doll and a mole at the end of her eye, which was very similar to the one of his queen.

"Rui Xiang greets His Majesty the King of Beiyuan! Long live the King!" Li Youran bowed deeply to Ye Beitian.

"Get up! What do you want from me?" Ye Beitian thought the girl in front of him was very cute.

"Ruixiang has a jade pendant here. I wonder if Your Majesty recognizes it?" Li Youran handed over the jade pendant in his arms. Eunuch Jiang took it and placed it in front of Ye Beitian.

Jade pendant? He looked down and saw that it was the jade pendant that his queen had left for his daughter, with the word "Night" engraved on it.

"You...how did you get it? Quick...quickly tell me." After carefully looking at the jade pendant, Ye Beitian looked up at Li Youran, a little out of control.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Rui Xiang said that this jade pendant belonged to my mother. She was abandoned in Nanxiang Kingdom when she was young and was saved by my grandmother's family. She was able to survive. At that time, this jade pendant was in her cradle, and a nanny was lying next to her. That nanny has died..."

Li Youran told him all about his mother's experiences.
