Princess, please respect yourself

In the secluded courtyard, two clever servants were specially reserved to take charge of Ziluan's daily life.

Ziluan walked around the small courtyard, saw that the courtyard was clean, the interior decoration was complete and luxurious, and there was a pile of family instructions on the case, the handwriting was especially fresh, so she stretched out her hand to call for a servant and asked, "Who lived here before?" ah?"

The young man replied respectfully: "This is the young master's yard, because you are here, young master Yan, and it happens that the young master is away again, so the master let you live here first."

Ziluan was surprised and asked, "Where did Mr. Chen go?"

"He was sent by the master to visit his sick uncle and grandma."

Happiness came so suddenly, Ziluan couldn't help feeling uneasy, but Ziluan is not a person who likes to think carefully, so she quickly picked up the book on the case and read it, leaving all questions behind, waiting for time to answer.

When Ziluan was studying seriously, all kinds of snacks and high-quality tea were delivered like running water. Ziluan had also seen people who had eaten before, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just focused on studying seriously, and when it was meal time, she was just alone in the room Eat inside.

After reading like this for a whole day, Chen Shubao didn't ask someone to invite Ziluan over until after dinner at night.

Ziluan tidied her hair bun and clothes, and checked that there was no problem with her disguise, and then followed the boy to the inner study.

When he arrived at the inner study, Chen Shubao saw Ziluan and quickly got up to ask, "Nephew, please sit down!"

Ziluan sat down after performing the junior ceremony.

Different from yesterday, today Chen Shubao drove the boy outside the door to guard, then stood up, and said to Ziluan respectfully: "Your Excellency, are you satisfied with the arrangement of the humble position?"

Ziluan quickly stood up too, bowed her head and replied: "Meeting by chance, what virtue and ability are there at a hundred years old, it's worth being so favored by an adult."

Chen Shubao held a handful of beard on his chin and stroked it up and down a few times, laughed a few times, and said: "Yesterday I heard Gouzi mention your Excellency, and I thought it was his young mischief, but I didn't expect it to be carefully arranged by the special envoy. Your Excellency Don't worry, I have already taken care of my servants, saying that you are the son of my savior, and your status in the family is equal to that of a dog, if there is anything wrong with it, please forgive me, Your Excellency Haihan."

"Special envoy?" Ziluan was startled, and her father's words sounded in her mind again - please ask the special envoy to leave quickly!

Seeing Zi Luan's surprised face, Chen Shubao laughed a few more times, and then said affectionately: "Your Excellency, you can rest assured of me, I know that one."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the pendant on Ziluan's waist.

Ziluan subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch the stone pendant, seeing that the matter had come to this point, she could only smile and nod, admitting it.

Chen Shubao approached Ziluan again, and asked in a low voice: "Does the special envoy have any other orders?"

"This..." Ziluan didn't know anything, so he could only hesitate.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shubao explained for her instead: "Understand, keep secret!"

Ziluan laughed a few times, but the words were not speculative, so he had to leave and go back.

Back in the bedroom, Ziluan turned on the oil lamp and carefully inspected the pendant under the lamp, and saw that the net was exquisitely crafted, but it looked old and not very bright.

He took out the stone inside the net and looked at it carefully. Under the light, the stone became more and more warm and lovely, but it was still an ordinary stone no matter how you looked at it.

As she was looking at it carefully, someone patted her shoulder, and Ziluan shook her hand in fright, and threw the stone out.

The visitor reached out to catch the stone lightly and deftly, and said with a smile, "Why, are you thinking about things and people?"

Ziluan didn't answer, but asked instead: "Sister Long is a special envoy?"

Sister Long said in surprise, "Yes, didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"But you didn't say that you are a 'special envoy' who is so powerful that the Minister of Rites would flatter you."

"This...isn't this good?" Sister Long was a little embarrassed, "With his care, you can study and prepare for the exam with peace of mind, and so can I."

Ziluan felt a bit of bitterness in her heart, took a step back, distanced herself from Sister Long, and said in a low voice, "I thought you were sent by Dad's former subordinates."

"Oh?" Sister Long raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you met those special envoys before?"

Ziluan shook her head, "I only know that my father treated his former subordinates very well, and used his salary to help their family members start some small businesses to make ends meet, so even if he saw a special envoy who came to thank him, he didn't think it was strange."

Sister Long smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Your father is indeed an excellent person."

"But after you met him, our family just...just..."

Ziluan couldn't continue, and covered her face with her hands and wept silently.

Sister Long said helplessly: "You also know that I'm just a special envoy, and I'm helping people spread the word. How can I have the right to choose? I can only guarantee that your family's affairs really have nothing to do with us."

"But your ordinary stone makes the Minister of Rites stand up and talk!"

"Silly sister, it's all because of the person behind me. Now that he asks for that person, he naturally flatters me in every possible way. If we beg him, even if I kneel down, it may not be useful."

The author has something to say: I am suddenly envious of the heroine: Faith is the rudder, ideals are the sails, in the journey of life, inadvertently avoid all the eddies and undercurrents, and reach the other shore of happiness without any danger.

☆, first encounter

Ziluan's mind was full of thoughts, but she hadn't experienced these twists and turns in the officialdom, and she couldn't think of a clue for a while, so she simply put it aside and didn't think about it.Instead, he asked: "It seems that the stone is very important, do you still want to put it here?"

Seeing that Ziluan no longer had doubts, Sister Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the stone to Ziluan with a smile, "Then there is no reason to ask for something after giving it away? It's just that there are only a few people who know the stone. You don't want to show it to others easily, and it won't work if you meet someone who doesn't know the goods."

Ziluan nodded, took the stone, and said casually: "The netting of this stone is old, I'll make a new one to match it someday."

Sister Long thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, so as not to make up for me after reading it, it will only increase your troubles."

Looking up and seeing the books spread out on the table, he persuaded: "The minister of the Ministry of Rites will take care of it for you, so you don't have to study so hard."

"It doesn't matter, I like reading. Reading can make me see my mind, see my wisdom, and be peaceful and far-reaching."

"Nerd." Sister Long scolded with a smile, and asked casually, "Recently, the mohe clan outside the border has started to harass the people again. What's your opinion, sir?"

"We must beat them until their spines are broken and they can no longer raise their heads." Ziluan replied as a matter of course.

Sister Long was stunned for a moment before asking: "Seeing that you are usually kind and refuse to step on even a blade of grass, how could you have such a tyrannical idea?"

"How can this be tyranny? The survival of the country is the righteousness. How can the people of the country be in danger because of the fear of one person's gain or loss? The most regretful thing in my father's life is that he was not able to stay on the frontier for a few more years. He called that man Wanyan Gu. He often said that Mohe would definitely harass the border again in a few years."

Sister Long tapped on the table with her index finger, pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to Zi Luan: "I have always admired your father as a man, please tell me more about him."

Recalling the scene of the family together in the past, Ziluan couldn't help but smile, and said: "People call my father 'General Changsheng', thinking that he has three heads and six arms, invulnerable to swords and guns, but in fact he is just an ordinary person. When he returned home after the battle, he had wounds all over his body, but he never said it hurt."

Thinking of the last time with her father, Zi Luan felt agitated for a moment, and suddenly raised her head to see Sister Long's unbearable expression, so she forced a smile and only picked up those interesting past events to talk about.

"When I was young, my mother went hunting with my father and left me alone at home. Fortunately, there was a mother Li who accompanied me. She was beautiful and gentle. She taught me how to embroider women's red every day and behave well. , otherwise, I will definitely become a village girl."

"I thought these were all taught by your mother."

"My mother?" Zi Luan covered her mouth and snickered, "My mother's best thing is not embroidery needles, but zhangba spears. When she met my father when she set up a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, she insisted on chasing my father for three years. My father was rescued from under the horse's hoof in the rebellion, and my father married her."

"Why have I never heard of such a strange woman? I only heard that your father married a village woman because he was lonely in the army."

Ziluan nodded with a smile, and said: "My mother is a village woman. She just wanted to stand silently behind my father, but in order to help my father fight, she was the only one left in the whole clan. Later, my father became City Lord, she recites scriptures in the Buddhist hall every day, hoping to offset the murder she committed. She said that soldiers are unlucky, so she didn't let me practice martial arts, and even found me a scholarly marriage."

Hearing Ziluan mention the marriage, Sister Long felt unhappy, and said disdainfully: "That idiot Chen Xiaotong will cheat his father to death sooner or later."

"It's okay, if it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't be able to sign up."

Sister Long snorted coldly, and didn't want to quarrel with Ziluan, so she smiled and said: "I really have to thank him, if he hadn't stopped you, I would have thought that this life would have been separated from you."

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Ziluan blushed, and said shyly: "I lost my composure for a while, and it made people laugh."

"It's not too much." Sister Long seriously shook her head, "You rushed to the entrance of the ceremony door like a wild horse, then knelt on the ground and began to cry..."

Ziluan jumped up from the chair to tear Sister Long's mouth, but Sister Long dodged it lightly, and said while dodging: "Others thought you were cheating money. But now the whole capital knows that you have no money. I was so anxious to sign up that I went crazy, and praised Chen Xiaotong like a living Bodhisattva."

Ziluan pounced several times without even touching Sister Long's clothes, and stamped her feet angrily to touch her tears.

Sister Long had no choice but to stop dodging and let Ziluan hit her a few times to vent her anger.

The angry Ziluan was still unhappy, and said dejectedly: "It's over, this time I'm ashamed and thrown home."

Sister Long comforted her, "What's the point of being ashamed? Just don't lose your life. When you reach prosperity, someone will explain it to you."

Seeing that Ziluan was still unhappy, he urged her to continue talking about childhood fun, Ziluan

Speaking of being extremely sleepy, the whole person fell backwards, and was supported by Sister Long, who gently hugged her and put her on the bed.

Sister Long gently took off Ziluan's shoes, covered her with the quilt, and then stood beside the bed and looked at Ziluan carefully. The sleeping Ziluan had a calm and sweet face, like a child who doesn't care about worldly affairs.

Sister Long watched for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, "I don't know how Shen Molin raised you, you're so stupid."

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Ziluan whimpered suddenly, her expression was painful as if she was undergoing torture, and she waved her hands indiscriminately.

Sister Long stepped forward to hold Ziluan's hand firmly, and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Awakened by the words, Ziluan calmed down, opened her eyes in confusion, looked at Sister Long, pulled her hand to the side of her face, and fell asleep again with her eyes closed.

Sister Long's heart felt as if someone had pinched her heart, and it hurt unceasingly.Couldn't bear to pull out his hand, so he had to gently push Ziluan to the inside, put his clothes on and lay beside her, and said resignedly: "It's really a fool's luck to be a fool."

******

At dawn, before dawn, Sister Long gently pulled out her hand. Seeing that Ziluan was still groping around the pillow in her sleep, she picked up a shoe and stuffed it into her hand. Seeing that she was satisfied, she continued to sleep before getting up. leave.

After leaving the courtyard, someone stepped forward to salute silently, led Sister Long to the corner gate, and sent Sister Long to leave respectfully.

Sister Long came out of the Chen Mansion, and she didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, she walked around the Chen Mansion leisurely, and finally stopped in front of a burden who came out early to sell sesame seed cakes, and said hello cordially:

"Deeper and heavier, you have worked hard."

The old man who sold sesame seed cakes bent over, and politely replied: "No way, in order to earn a few pennies to live on, sir, how many do you want?"

"Look at you working so hard..." Sister Long gestured with her fingers, "I want this cake."

After finishing speaking, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and handed it over.

The old man saw Jin Zi smiling, and stretched out his hand to catch it, but Sister Long didn't let go, and said, "But I only want it to be hot."

The old man's face changed color, he performed lightness kung fu, jumped a few times and hid in an alley. He just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Sister Long helplessly ask behind him: "Why are you running? I don't want to do good business."

The old man stood up straight, turned around and asked coldly, "What kind of business do you want?"

Sister Long said with a smile, "I'm usually busy with chores, so I'd like to ask you to take care of Baisui."

Yan Qixia sneered, "You locked up Baisui, and you still need our help?"

"How can I protect her otherwise?" Sister Long blinked innocently, "You also know that there are several people staring at her."

Yan Qixia fell silent, and Sister Long said helplessly, "Senior Yan, I, like you, want Yan to be well-clothed, well-fed and well-fed, safe and happy."

"Hmph! Baisui is our child, what are you doing for it?"

Sister Long showed sadness on her face, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "Her father's kindness to my family is as great as a mountain. I grew up listening to the name 'General Changsheng' since I was a child. Now her family has undergone tremendous changes. Can she sit idly by? Since she wants to stand out, I will naturally help her."

Yan Qixia was not moved at all, and said: "But we just want to take her away from this muddy pit that eats people and doesn't spit out bones."

Sister Long said helplessly: "I persuaded her too, but she must insist on taking the Enke exam. She said that she wanted to be the number one in Yan Baisui's exam and honor your ancestors for you."

After hearing this, Yan Qixia was inexplicably moved, and said again and again: "Good boy, good boy! It's hard for her to think about us all the time."

"Bai Sui is kind and filial, so I want to ask the two elders to help take care of Bai Sui and help her get what she wants." After speaking, Sister Long bowed respectfully and deeply to Yan Qixia.

Yan Qixia nodded in agreement and said, "What do you want us to do?"

Sister Long took out a piece of paper and a bag of silver taels from her bosom, handed them to Yan Qixia, and said, "This is a land deed, and the house is near here. Take it, add some things."

Yan Qixia took it bluntly and put it in her arms, nodding her head in agreement.

Sister Long bid farewell and left.

When Sister Long was far away, Meigu turned around from the corner and asked Yan Qixia:

"Old man, what do you think she is from?"

"I can't see it, but it's definitely not young. I waited all night and couldn't enter the Chen Mansion." After thinking about it, he asked, "Is it because she looks like a hundred years old and wants to marry her?"

Mei Gu sneered, "What nonsense are you talking about? That man is a girl."

"Really?" Yan Qixia was startled, and then she felt relieved, "Then I don't worry, we might as well stay here first, and if something goes wrong, we will fight it out."

Yan Gu nodded in agreement, and when it was daylight, she found a house according to the title deed and lived in it.

******

Ziluan wakes up in the morning and finds her shoes are clutched in her hand. After drawing the colored thread, the fingers fluttered, and the network was quickly laid.

After laying it, I took out the stone from the old net and looked at it again in the bright sunlight outside the window, but I still didn't see anything special.

"Maybe it's a sham."

Put the stone in the new net, throw it on the table, pick up the book and continue to read.The afternoon sun shone on the stones, reflecting a little light.

Attracted by the light, Ziluan took the stone in his hands to play with, remembering the first time he met Long Jie, he couldn't help smiling.

It was also the fifteenth day, and Ziluan under the moonlight could not sleep, the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms in the yard wafted in through the window, and Ziluan got up quietly, with shoes in her hand, she walked around Li, who was sleeping outside, with bare feet. Mom, slip into the yard to enjoy the flowers.

Peach blossoms quietly reveal their fragrance under the moonlit night, and petals fall with the breeze.

On the spur of the moment, Ziluan twirled and danced under the tree, and her sleeves flicked the branches, causing the petals to scatter colorfully, like a dream.

In the end, Ziluan became dizzy and slammed into a black shadow. Only when someone supported her shoulder did she realize that she had hit someone.

Ziluan shook her head, sobered up, and asked with a smile: "Sister, did you come from the back mountain?"

"Why do you know?"

Ziluan nodded with her finger, "That's because you have a pine caterpillar on your shoulder."

Unexpectedly, the man was shocked, and slapped the pine caterpillar to death on his shoulder, grinning his teeth in pain.

"You're finished." Zi Luan said with a smile.

At that moment, Long Gui wanted to kill.

☆, choose son-in-law

"Don't let people know your weakness, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

This is what Long Gui learned in the first lesson of life, but the girl named Ziluan added another note to this experience: there is always that one person who makes you expose all your weaknesses without any scruples.

That day, Ziluan stood under the moonlight, beautiful like an elf who strayed into the mortal world, and said to Long Gui with a smile: "If you trust me, you will be safe."

After finishing speaking, he took Long Gui's hand and walked towards the corridor in the courtyard.

Those little hands were soft as if they were boneless, warm and reassuring, Long Gui was dazed for a moment, and when he realized it, he had already followed Ziluan to stand still on the porch.

Ziluan brought a high stool and placed it in a corner of the corridor, stood on the high stool with the support of the pillar, tiptoed and stretched out her hands to feel inside the beam.

"Where is it?" Ziluan frowned and thought.

The night wind blew Zi Luan's clothes, revealing the slender legs under the middle clothes. Long Gui stood below and stared at the beautiful curves in a daze.

"Here!" Ziluan happily lifted up a small medicine bottle, wanting to jump down, but afraid of alarming Mama Li.

Long Gui put his arms around Ziluan's calf, picked her up, and gently put her on the ground, taking the opportunity to lightly touch the calf that seemed to have longed for a thousand years.

Ziluan couldn't help but put all the powder in the bottle into Longgui's hands.

While Ziluan was looking for some tea, Long Gui sniffed it quietly—it should be some commonly used medicine for reducing swelling and itching.

Ziluan found some tea, mixed the medicine, and applied it on Longgui's hands.

"That's all right. Next time, be careful of that kind of caterpillar. It's poisonous."

Long Gui pretended to be surprised, "No way? It's just a bug."

"You're obviously scared."

"..."

"Don't be shy, I'm also afraid. I've suffered countless losses since I was a child. Otherwise, why would I have prepared medicine? I don't know when it happened. Arms, legs, legs... why are my legs so itchy? "Zi Luan twisted her waist into a twist, and went to see the itchy spot on her leg.

"I have a lot of medicine on hand, should I apply some for you?" Long Gui said kindly.

"Quick! Quick! The wind must have blown the fur of the bug onto my leg!" Ziluan jumped up anxiously.

In the end, Ziluan lay on Long Gui's lap in a very indecent position, and asked Long Gui to share the ointment on her hand, muttering: "Hey, you need to cultivate your body and mind in the future, and restrain your murderous aura, or else How to do a shadow guard?"

"It's okay, your murderous (stupid) spirit is the one that makes the sky thin, and you can see it from hundreds of miles away."

Ziluan covered her mouth and snickered, "You really know how to joke, what murderous intent does I have, I don't know martial arts at all."

Long Gui painted it slowly, enjoying the slippery skin under his hands.

"Then aren't you afraid of me?"

"You are so timid, even afraid of a caterpillar, how could you hurt me?" Ziluan was drowsy.

Long Gui paused and said, "My name is Long Gui."

"Oh, Sister Long." Ziluan replied vaguely.

"I'm not your shadow guard." After speaking, Long Gui waited for Ziluan to run away screaming, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Looking closely, Ziluan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

That day, Long Gui held Ziluan in his arms like a docile cat.

That day, Zi Luan trusted Long Gui as easily as a cat.

****

"Thanks to Sister Long's help that day, otherwise I slipped out to play in the middle of the night, and my legs were swollen, and I would have been scolded." Ziluan carefully tied the stone around her waist, and sighed: "I don't know what she is doing now. "

At this time, Long Gui was painting, and he painted patiently for a while, before finally nodding in satisfaction: "Long hair shawls, clothes flapping, fluttering about to go home with the wind, the painting is really good!"

Someone pushed the door and entered, saw Long Gui was looking at a painting with a smile on his face, stepped forward to snatch it for a closer look, after seeing it, he was shocked and said: "I haven't seen Huang Jie painting for many years, once she makes a painting, she is extraordinary! It’s just an autumn afternoon, when the world is bright and bright, I don’t know why Miss Huang drew a female ghost?”

Long Gui took back the painting with his hands, tore it up several times, threw it into an iron basin, and set it on fire.

The visitor said with a smile: "Miss Huang is too irritable, be careful not to get married in the future."

"Prince, you should worry more about your own affairs! I heard that the second prince recently met a beautiful young man of a different race. Why don't you go and see him?"

Prince Long Rui put away his smile and said seriously: "It's my own business to fight for that chair, each depends on his own ability, he won't be so stupid as to ask outsiders for help, right?"

"Who knows?" Long Gui spread out his hands, "Concubine Ning killed Shen Molin's family by blowing the wind beside her pillow. I don't think it's strange to set up an altar to cross the catastrophe and become a fairy."

Long Rui quickly raised his palms to signal Long Gui to keep silent, "Miss Huang, speak carefully, I'm afraid the walls have ears."

Long Gui sneered and said, "At worst, we all die together."

Long Rui took a step forward, pulled Long Gui's sleeve lightly, and said softly, "Sister, until now, we and her son are the only brothers and sisters left in the big family. Don't just talk about life and death. Thousands of thousands, but I really feel sorry for the only sister I love, you are the only one, you must be good."

Long Gui stopped talking, and secretly slandered: That's because I can help you snatch the throne, and there is only that silly girl in this world who really relies on me.

Seeing that Long Gui had calmed down, Long Rui took out a stack of portraits from his arms, and said with a smile: "Father and imperial concubine are discussing to find you a good husband-in-law. I took care and drew the portraits they had seen. Come on, let's pick and choose first, and we can have a response when they ask."

After finishing speaking, Long Rui handed the portrait to Long Gui, Long Gui looked at it absently, and criticized, "Old, ugly, wow! This one is even more disgusting, with so many beards."

Long Rui glanced at it, couldn't help smiling, and said: "This is a famous bearded man. He is well-educated and good at composing five-step poems. Three generations of his family have been officials in the court. His father is now..."

Long Gui interrupted him, "What's so good, I can't find my mouth even if I want to kiss it!"

Long Rui slowly put away the portraits thrown everywhere by Long Gui, and said indifferently: "It's better than being born in Bai Ding, it's not right if the family is wrong."

Long Gui turned his face coldly, turned his head to one side stubbornly, and said: "I hate my life now, I live in trembling, and die in fear. Many times, I want to go far away, and I don't have to wear a veil every day. , dare not show your true colors to others.”

Long Rui was taken aback, and said: "Miss Huang has a deep affection for me, how can I have the heart to let you go and kiss?"

Just as Long Gui was about to explain, a maidservant stood outside the door and announced loudly: "The emperor has an order to invite Princess Xianggui to the palace to have an audience."

Long Gui hurriedly called the maidservant to come in to change his clothes, Long Rui did not forget to tell him: "You must keep your temper, don't make your father angry."

Long Gui agreed in a hurry, and hurriedly entered the palace to have an audience. After kneeling down and prostrating, she didn't hear the emperor calling her to get up, so she fell on the ground and remained still.

Concubine Ning held a portrait to block the emperor's sight, and eagerly persuaded: "Your Majesty, look at this, the heavens are full, the grounds are round, and the face is a decent person, and the family affairs are also innocent. It's a good match."

The emperor nodded in agreement, and turned to ask Long Gui's opinion, but he didn't see her. After searching for a while, he found that she was still kneeling on the ground, and said blatantly: "Get up quickly, it's too old to be born."

Long Gui lowered his head and restrained his breath, and replied softly: "In the past, I was young and ignorant and didn't know the rules, but now I must not mess around."

Concubine Ning hurriedly got off the throne, stepped forward to help Long Gui, pulled her to sit down, patted her hand and said with a smile: "Good daughter, your good news is coming soon, your father is picking a husband for you, I'm afraid you If you don’t like it, I specially ask you to come and ask yourself.”

After speaking, he unfolded the portrait just now for Long Gui to see, Long Gui took a closer look through the veil, and found that the person in the portrait was fat and big-eared, so he couldn't help but said, "This person looks like he was born into a wealthy family. "

Concubine Ning said with a smile: "Those who have the qualifications to climb up to the royal family must be either rich or expensive."

Long Gui went on to say, "Even if the year is bad and the food harvest fails, he won't go hungry."

Concubine Ning clapped her hands and laughed: "That's it, how can we let our dignified princess be wronged!"

Long Gui smiled slightly and said, "If there is no food to eat, kill him, enough to last for a year or so."

Concubine Ning's smile froze on her face, she couldn't take it back, but the emperor laughed out loud, and Concubine Ning had no choice but to laugh a few times along with her.

The emperor laughed and persuaded: "Long Gui, you are the most honorable daughter-in-law in the entire Dragon Kingdom. You can choose the princes and dignitaries in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Why do you wear a veil every day and refuse to see people?"

Long Gui knelt on the ground with a thud, and said with a choked voice, "Father, since the last time my father bestowed a marriage, that great husband committed suicide in grief and anger after seeing my face, I never want to marry again. Long Gui is ugly You are stupid, and your only wish is to serve your father by his side."

Concubine Ning covered her mouth with her hands, giggled, and said frivolously: "I'm afraid that the princess will not want to marry, but in fact, she already has a good husband in her heart."

The emperor wondered: "Is that true? Is it the young gentleman of that family? Tell me and let me hear it. If you are in the right family, I will help you."

The princess hated secretly, she gave Ning Guifei a hard look from behind the veil, and said aggrievedly: "I do have one in my heart. Once I ran into a young man in a car. He had a tall figure and a handsome appearance. I was very excited at first, but it was a pity that he fell in love with him." Sentient, flowing water has no intention."

The emperor asked: "What? He is already married? I can give him peace and divorce, and I will definitely not let you be inferior to others."

Long Gui remained silent for a long while, and Concubine Ning urged her to say, "Say it quickly, let your father decide for you."

After several reminders, Long Gui said slowly, "He is not married yet, but he..."

Seeing Long Gui hesitating, hesitant to speak, the emperor was a little sullen, and said, "What's going on?"

Long Gui said in a low voice: "He has someone he likes, and he loves that person. I absolutely can't compete with that person."

The emperor frowned and asked: "In this Dragon Kingdom, is there anyone who is Long Gui that you can't snatch?"

Concubine Ning Gui had a bad premonition, she was about to speak out to stop her, but Long Gui had already said it.

"It's brother Min. As a sister, no matter how naughty I am, I won't dare to rob my brother for a man."

Concubine Ning was furious, and she yelled at the case, "You don't want to spit blood! How could my Min'er get entangled with this man?"

Long Gui pretended to be crying, and said with sobs, "I said I wouldn't say it, but you forced me to say it, and I said it, but you didn't believe it. It's really hard to be a human being, why don't you hang on to the southeast branch yourself."

Concubine Ning refused, and threw herself into the emperor's arms, crying endlessly, "Your majesty, you have to make the decision for me. There is no evidence, how can she say that about Min'er?"

Originally, it was fine, but after a while, he cried and quarreled, and the emperor didn't care about the matter of choosing a son-in-law. He pushed Ning Guifei away, and said angrily: "Long Gui, where did you hear such obscene remarks? Men marry women and marry women." It's human relations and righteousness, how can there be any love between men? I punish you to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures, face the wall and think about your mistakes, and come to see me when you understand."

After finishing speaking, the emperor did not go to appease Concubine Ning, but walked away.

Seeing the emperor lost his temper, Concubine Ning had no choice but to put away her tears and got up to send the emperor off. When she turned back from the entrance of the hall, Long Gui had already stood up from the ground, brushing the ashes on her skirt with her hands.

Concubine Ning sneered, and said, "Princess Xianggui herself really likes to be clean, so why bother to pour dirty water on other people, and get all covered instead? Look, don't you have to copy the scriptures again?"

Long Gui raised his hand to take off the veil, revealing a sunny and heroic face, which brightened even the lifeless hall, but his thin lips were slightly parted, and the words he spoke were icy cold, "Of course I am clean, I also can't see other people cheating, if that restless person falls into my hands, she will definitely regret crawling out of her mother's intestines."

After finishing speaking, Long Gui stepped forward, walking lightly, but every step was like a sharp knife unsheathed, shining with light, dangerous and bloody, making people afraid to look directly at it.

Only after Long Gui left did Concubine Ning dare to scold in a low voice: "What are you crazy about? What's so great about it, you deserve to be unable to get married!"

The author has something to say: when you get older, you will be forced to go on a blind date, and you have to explain why you don't get married, it's really helpless.

☆, exam

Long Gui doesn't care what other people say about her behind her back—it's just a loser spitting on her back, which is meaningless except to look pitiful and ridiculous.

After leaving the bedroom, Long Gui took back the veil and meandered towards the Buddhist hall.

The Buddhist hall was dark and quiet, when Long Gui stepped into it, he immediately felt chills all over his body, as if there were two different worlds here and outside.

There are two rows of gold-cast Buddha statues on both sides of the Buddhist hall. The Buddha statues are tall and look down on Longgui with a ferocious face. Longgui walks among them like tiny ants.

However, Long Gui didn't care about it, and walked leisurely like a spring outing. He went straight to sit down on the futon in front of the Buddha table in the middle, took off his veil, and looked up at the table. Tibetan Bodhisattva Fundamental Vow Sutra".

Long Gui reached out to take down the scriptures, and flipped through them casually. The characters on the scriptures were neat and beautiful, but as time went by, the handwriting had turned black and brown.

Gently stroking the handwriting on the scriptures, Long Gui imagined that when his mother was the queen, what kind of thing made her always accompany the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, and wrote this scripture with golden needles.It's a pity that the Buddha didn't bless her to prolong her life. Not long after giving birth to her younger brother, she drove west of Hexi, leaving this unfinished scripture on the desk.

Mother's piety is not useless at all. Little Long Gui learned the Buddha's six-character mantra from it: it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself.The young Long Gui protected his younger brother, and kept a close eye on the feet of those high-ranking officials and concubines, lest he be stepped into the dust if he was careless for a moment.

"Who would have thought that we would grow up safely?" Long Gui smiled proudly, put the scriptures back on the case respectfully, picked up a string of Buddhist beads and moved them.

The Buddhist hall is quiet, only the slight sound of the hourglass flowing, and Long Gui's murmur: I like me, I don't like me, I like me, I don't like me...

At dusk, a court lady brought vegetarian food, Long Gui stretched his waist and asked, "What's going on?"

The maid whispered: "Young Master Yan is injured."

Long Gui frowned invisibly, and asked calmly, "How?"

The maid pointed to her right arm and said in a low voice, "There is some blood, it's fine."

After hearing this, Long Gui was noncommittal, and waved the palace maid away.

After the palace lady left, Long Gui didn't go to serve the food, but stared at the beating oil lamp in a daze, his face was calm, but his heart was full of anger: the people in the Jianghu are just unreliable, and Ziluan was injured just by withdrawing them!

After thinking about it for a while, Long Gui couldn't sit still, stood up and wandered in front of the Buddha statue, and finally managed to calm himself down——Father was right, the Son of Man will die and be auspicious.

However, Long Gui couldn't help but clasped his hands together and prayed to the Buddha statue: "May my Buddha be merciful, all the sins are caused by me, and the karma will also be imposed on me, and those who have no intention are safe and happy..."

In fact, Ziluan was not happy at all. At this time, Ziluan was leaning on the chair. A short arrow pierced her right upper arm and pinned her to the wall. The blood flowed down her arm to her slender waist. The fingertips dripped onto the ground, forming a pool of small puddles on the ground, filling the whole room with faint blood.

The pain and blood loss made Zi Luan unable to concentrate, her mouth seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a sound.

"It's been so long and no one has come, they don't want me to die quietly like this?" Zi Luan thought this way, and her consciousness became confused.

Finally there were footsteps approaching in a hurry, the door was pushed open vigorously, someone ran in, saw Ziluan's appearance, wanted to hug but didn't dare to move, so he could only shout anxiously: "Please come doctor quickly! Please doctor! "

Finally, when someone came,
