The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Ever since Pinellia was conscious, she wanted to go outside and have a look.

Those people coming and going in the village are not as interesting as the new poisonous insects that can be found occasionally on the mountain, so she always sneaks out whenever she has a chance, and quietly returns with the bamboo tube that caught the new pet.

Perhaps because of her blood, she naturally finds these bugs, centipedes, snakes and the like extremely cute, even if she is staring at a fat green caterpillar, she can just look at it for an afternoon.

Once, she picked up a little surprise when she went out.

A very good-looking girl fell into the stream, her body was covered with blood, and the flesh on her leg was bitten by something, and it was a little blurry.

She took a lot of effort to carry the girl back to the village, and she stayed there for many years.

Strangely, since this sister came, the village that never likes outsiders is slowly changing, perhaps because Nan Xing will lead everyone to identify more herbs and raise more poisonous bugs.

Such a day——

Broken in her teens.

Nan Xing was the first visitor in the village, and Aning and her senior brother were the second.

Ban Xia, who grew up with many villagers, became interested in a person for the first time.

Anin is special.

As Sister Nan Xing would say to her occasionally, people from the Central Plains are special.

For a while, Ban Xia couldn't say where she was attracted, in short, she liked the feeling of staying with Ah Ning very much.

It was at that time that she suddenly understood why Sister Nan Xing would tell her about a son whom she had rarely seen.

About……

People from the Central Plains are too different.

She never forgets about Aning, but it's a pity that Aning only sees the big worm with strange fur. She hates big worms, and A-Ning hates her snake.

They don't seem like a good fit.

After being rejected by Ah Ning many times, Ban Xia felt that it would be better for her to be with baby Ah Qing. She thought, maybe Ah Ning would only be with that sesame seed in the future.

One person, one cat, wandering around the world?

Banxia is very self-comforting, she told herself that anyway, Aning would not mind having many fellow travelers around her, maybe she still has a chance.

But reality soon slapped her in the face.

First of all, Aning is actually a woman.

Secondly, even if she is a woman, she has no chance, because there is a Prince Da Li who also likes Aning.

What was even more frightening was that she saw how special Aning was to the prince.

From the beginning to the end, Ban Xia felt that she had no chance at all.

She felt really miserable.

After staying in Lu Guogong's mansion for a while, she felt that she couldn't bear to see these two people anymore, and the more she looked at her, the more painful she felt.

When she was leaving, she accidentally ran into Huang Xing——

"Miss Banxia."

The other party greeted her.

Ban Xia turned her head to look, and remembered who this person was. In fact, she had a good impression of Lu Guogong's mansion, because no matter the master's servants here, they were very polite to her, an uninvited guest.

He didn't look at her to offend her.

Even if she thinks her dress is presumptuous, it doesn't make her uncomfortable like those people on Wang'an Street.

She stopped and called him as usual: "Cousin."

Sure enough, she saw that Lu Chen couldn't accept it, but he managed to lose his composure on his face, which was a bit funny.

She actually laughed too.

Lu Xing's face remained unchanged, and he asked: "Miss Banxia is leaving? But the Duke's mansion didn't entertain you well?"

Ban Xia: "No, it's just that this place makes me sad."

Huang Chen: "..."

It was the first time he had seen such a straightforward girl.

But considering that the other party is from the Western Regions, after all, he is different from the Central Plains, he still understood, and only tactfully said:

"It's not easy to force feelings."

It's not that he can't see that Banxia likes his cousin, it's just that the two of them are really...not suitable.

"Hey, don't you Central Plains people like me?" Ban Xia couldn't help asking after hearing what he said.

Huang Xing felt that no matter how he answered this topic, it would be dangerous.

In the end, he could only clear his throat, and said: "Miss Banxia, ​​don't belittle yourself, people who like you will naturally think you are very good."

Not interesting.

Ban Xia thought, this answer is really boring.

She bid farewell to Huang Chen in a dispirited manner, left Duke Lu's mansion, went out, found a wine shop on the side of the road, and went in, intending to drink away her worries.

When she entered, she didn't see the big character Lu on the wine flag above her head at all.

I only remember that when I was halfway through drinking, I ran into someone coming out from the private room next door. Maybe I drank too much and couldn't remember where I was, so I came to her with nonsense.

Ban Xia shot reflexively, only to hear a panicked cry——

She frowned, thinking that this time she was about to enter the Yamen.

But the shopkeeper only asked her to wait.

After a while, she saw... Huang Xing.

"Why are you here?" Ban Xia's alcohol was half gone, but she was still half leaning against the wall, looking at Huang Xing with a sleepy look.

Huang Xing was a little helpless.

If he didn't happen to be on duty today, if he came over after work, he wouldn't bump into the guy who was going to report the crime to the yamen. If he was late, Ah Ning would have to go there to find someone.

"This is the restaurant of the Lu family..." he said.

"Oh..." Ban Xia responded sullenly.

"What's going on here?" Seeing that she was depressed, Huang Xing had no choice but to ask.

As soon as Ban Xia told the story, he immediately saw his serious face, and asked people to send the apprentice to the yamen.

She leaned lazily against the door, as if she had grown up with the door, and half-closed her eyes to look at Huang Xing——

Suddenly this place isn't so bad anymore.

Seeing that the matter was dealt with, Ban Xia waved lazily at Huang Xing, and then left without looking back, carrying the wine bottle.

Looking at her back, Huang Xing could only shake his head.

……

They met again, but it was a long time later.

Huang Chen inherited Grandpa's position in the army. The Dali military system is stationed in rotation every five years, and his army happened to go to the southwest.

On the way, I stopped in a village, and I happened to listen to the local people tell a story about the soil in the mountains. They said that there was a centipede mountain nearby, and there was a poisonous mother in it, who was born among poisonous insects.

After hearing this, Huang Xing smiled faintly, only thinking that Nanzhao or Miao Jiang had blood that was active here.

Who knows how many days——

He led the army through the mountains and saw a big black snake. The army was about to kill, but he heard a sentence from the side: "Wait!"

Hearing the voice was familiar at first glance, Huang Chen subconsciously looked over there, and at the same time raised his hand, a person flashed out of the crowd.

The soldiers immediately surrounded the person who came, Huang Xing walked over to take a closer look, and was extremely surprised: "Banxia... girl?"

"It's me." Ban Xia was obviously surprised to see him.

But quickly smiled: "So it's you, since I'm an acquaintance, I'll give you some advice, don't go ahead, it's going to be foggy."

"Thank you General Lu for keeping the snake under his knife. I have been looking for this guy for several days, and it is of great use to me."

Huang Xing asked her to put away the weapon, and asked her carefully about the situation ahead.

It turned out that they had strayed off the path. In front of them was a cloudy mountain with miasma all year round, and it was even worse when there was fog. If they strayed into it by mistake, it would be a disaster.

After the two chatted a few words, Ban Xia simply offered to lead them the way.

The soldiers in the army were skeptical about her, but Huang Xing looked at her for a while before making a decision.

After walking like this for a day or two, he walked out of the mountain.

Ban Xia turned and left, just like the previous few times.

However, Huang Xing called out one more sentence: "Miss Banxia."

Ban Xia looked back at him.

He said seriously: "Thank you for leading the way, girl, you should also pay attention to safety when you go out."

Ban Xia smiled and waved to him.

……

The two touched each other several times.

Once, Huang Xing led people up the mountain to suppress the bandits, Ban Xia helped him.

That time Huang Xing was slightly injured, Ban Xia picked herbs for him.

"Big cousin, ah." The girl walked beside him, her dancing white skirt sweeping over the tip of the grass.

Her skin was whiter than moonlight, so that Huang Xing was dazzled by the snow color, and subconsciously opened his mouth to bite the grass leaves that were handed to his lips.

Ban Xia paused for a moment.

Huang Xing immediately came to his senses, narrowed his gaze, moved his Adam's apple, and said, "Sorry, I offended."

Ban Xia snorted, the meaning was unknown.

It took me a long time to hear her answer: "It's okay."

Huang Xing bit the sour, bitter and astringent leaves in his mouth, his half-closed eyes were dimmed.

He led the soldiers down the mountain in silence.

A few more days passed.

Ban Xia went to the city to buy some supplies, and happened to see a Miao girl entangled with a familiar figure.

She held back at first, seeing that the person who was entangled seemed to have a helpless expression, obviously cold-faced and unfriendly to others, but maybe because of her good looks, she still attracted the woman to attack him like spring leeks Come forward.

I don't know which one this time.

But the dark red clothes are very familiar.

Just when Huang Xing turned around to leave, the finger of the rejected person moved by his side.

Ban Xia's eyes turned cold——

She touched her wrist and released a bee from one of the hollow beads.

If Huang Xing felt something, he walked halfway and looked back.

Ban Xia followed immediately, grabbed the bee before he drew his sword, and said, "It's your savior, why did the general attack indiscriminately?"

Ban Xia asked with a teasing voice.

Embarrassment flashed across Huang Xing's eyes, he pressed the hilt of his sword, and quickly realized.

Ban Xia looked at him with a smile, and reminded meaningfully: "The general should be more careful when refusing others here. You have to think carefully about your excuses, otherwise you will easily lose your life."

Huang Chen: "..."

He sighed softly, thinking that Ban Xia had heard what he just said.

Then he said: "It's not an excuse, it's really...the heart belongs to you."

"It seems that for the safety of my life now, I have to ask that person for an answer earlier."

Ban Xia didn't know how to respond, she was stunned, and then answered slowly: "...Yes."

After that, she smiled, thought of something, and whispered: "It's a good thing to give up earlier."

"But I wish you success."

Huang Xing stood like an iron bamboo, and he stood tall, but now he looked down at her from a height, paused, and then replied:

"Whether I succeed or not depends on what the girl wants."

Ban Xia didn't hear it at first, and just nodded.

until you find out...

Huang Xing's gaze stayed on her for too long, and even the atmosphere between the two seemed cramped.

and many more!

...Did she misunderstand? ?

Is it her that Huang Xing likes?

Perhaps in order to affirm her words, Huang Xing rarely said again: "If you don't want to go to Wang'an with me, I can stay with you in the southwest."

Anyway, he still has an older brother, and there is no position for him to inherit, so he can stay in the southwest at his own request.

Ban Xia snorted.

He still remembers.

Back then, she said that Wang'an was a sad place.

For some reason, she actually opened her mouth to explain: "It is a sad place to be rejected by others. If you are loved by others..."

"That's another matter."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt something was wrong.

But then, time and time again, the incident of helping Huang Xing flashed before her eyes. At first, she told herself that it was because of repayment, and because the other party had taken care of her in the Duke's Mansion.

But she also thought of the scene of herself staring at the woman next to him pestering him for a long time just now.

The emotions that surfaced in my heart were both familiar and strange.

Huang Chen was also stunned.

Soon, light rose in his eyes, lighting up his black pupils, so that his eyes were blazing with brilliance.

"Miss Banxia, ​​this is..."

"Did Lu think too much, or the girl really..."

Ban Xia crossed her arms and watched him no longer calm as before, but stuttered, her shoulders trembled involuntarily while laughing.

Then he waved his hand and said:

"Yes, I am indeed interested in you, I don't know when."

At that moment, Huang Xing was very thankful that he liked such a straightforward woman who could make him feel elated with just one sentence.

It's like spring comes again.

……

The day of the bridal chamber.

Huang Xing drank a little too much. After returning to the room, he sat by Banxia's bed with a cold face, only looking at her, not talking.

Banxia rubbed the veil covering her head in her hands, and looked at him with a smile in her eyes, and asked him after a while:

"What are you doing looking at me like that?"

"You're mine now." Huang Xing's voice was a little hoarse, and it had a different taste from the past low.

Ban Xia nodded, "Yes, are you happy then?"

Huang Xing nodded first, then shook his head.

"It's too late." He gestured and said, "It should be earlier."

There was even some sadness in the voice.

A strong general, drunk like a three-year-old child, still talking and drawing.

Ban Xia finds it very interesting.

Huang Xing was still thinking about it.

She laughed for a long time before patting him on the shoulder, and leaned over to him, her voice was rare and gentle, as if comforting: "It's not too late."

She pushed the man down, leaned over and said slowly:

"As long as you love me, it's never too late."

Behind her, the shadow of the red candle swayed slightly, shaking off the spring light in the room.

The author has something to say: Today is also an update day! ! !

It can be finished tomorrow!

happy!
