Jiaochu

"How could I be rude?" Hong Zhu retorted unconvinced.

Ye Lingxi cleared her throat and demonstrated what a non-rude voice was like, "Father~Emperor~, Lingxi wants to play on the swing~"

Hongzhu felt goosebumps rise when she heard this, and asked hesitantly, "Do all the women from the Central Plains talk like this?"

"This is called gentleness. You see you are not gentle at all. How can you fight with other empresses? There are empresses in this palace who eat people without spitting out their bones. They may be thinking of ways to deal with you right now." Ye Ling Xisha Said matter-of-factly.

Hong Zhu felt a little scared when she heard it, but she still said firmly: "I'm not afraid."

This temper is quite stubborn, Ye Ling said heartily, "Then let me ask you, how do you plan to win the heart of my father?"

"I..." Hongzhu asked, "Why should I tell you? Will you still help me?"

"Of course I won't help you," Ye Lingxi replied confidently.

Hongzhu: "..."

"This princess is here to show you a clear path." Ye Lingxi said.

"Minglu?" Hongzhu looked confused.

Ye Lingxi nodded and said: "You didn't just say that you wanted to avoid wars from now on. I see that you also have a pure heart and decided to help you. You teach me how to dance, and I will speak kind words for your master in front of my father." ,how."

Hongzhu was dubious, "Will the emperor listen to the princess?"

"Of course." Ye Lingxi raised her head proudly and said, "You can ask anyone to see if my princess' words will work." He then persuaded her earnestly, "Although you are good-looking, you are not in line with my father. Even if you dance in the palace for ten years, you still won’t win the heart of your father. But this princess is different. My words are worth your many dances. After this village, you won’t be able to win over your father’s heart. If you can't make the decision in this shop, then go ask your master. I'm going back first, please think about it carefully." After saying this, she skillfully climbed out the window and slipped away quietly.

At night, Hong Zhu opened the window and stood by the window and whistled. A snow-white bird flew over and landed on her hand. She put a rolled piece of paper into the small bamboo tube tied to the bird's talon and said, "Go." The snow-white bird flew into the dark night and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, Ye Lingxi met Ming Yue while wandering in the imperial garden.

Seeing the other person's silver hair and emerald green eyes face to face, she looked at him for two more seconds. Hehe and Lingdang also took a closer look and realized that they were being rude. Hehe stretched out his hand and pulled Lingdang's sleeve, signaling her to salute. When the two of them saluted, Ming Yue told them not to be too polite. He did not bring any attendants and appeared alone in the imperial garden.

"Is this the third princess?" Ming Yue said politely, "I've met the princess before." Ye Lingxi also returned the gift and took a peek at those strangely colored eyes.

"I see that this garden is huge and it's easy to get lost. Could you please show me around, princess?" Ming Yue said.

Ye Lingxi nodded in agreement.

After walking for a while and looking at some flowers and plants, Ming Yue casually asked, "I heard that the princess wants to learn to dance?" Ye Lingxi nodded and said, "I heard that a sister Hongzhu came to the palace and she is a very good dancer. Okay, I want her to teach me." Ming Yue said, "The princess has a noble status, and it's just a matter of a few words to teach me." Ye Lingxi said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, if that sister is willing to teach me I, I will also repay the favor." Ming Yue said, "It is her blessing to be appreciated by the princess, and I believe she will do her best to teach the princess."

It looks like it's done, Ye Lingxi said. "This Wangshu is given to the princess today. Please don't dislike it." Ming Yue took out a dagger from her sleeve. The scabbard was made of pure silver. The handle was inlaid with a huge moonstone, and there was a faint brilliance in it. It flows and shines inside, with different shades, like the dark blue in the quiet sea water, the light blue in the sky after the rain, the misty light blue in the misty rain, and the bright cold color in the moonlight... …It’s ever-changing, like a dream.

Looking at such an exquisite gift, which seemed to be of great value at first glance, Ye Lingxi forcibly looked away and said, "This gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Don't get me wrong, princess, this Wangshu is a token of the alliance between Grandfather Wang and King Xia." Ming Yue said.

"King Xia?" Ye Lingxi was a little surprised, but also thought that he wanted to form an alliance, not a betrothal gift.

Ming Yue nodded and said: "I don't want to deceive the princess." After a pause, she said, "If the princess can accept it, it will be an honor for the Yue clan. If the princess minds, there is no need to force it."

Ye Lingxi raised his hand to take the Wangshu.

After walking for a while, Ming Yue took her leave.

After walking for a while, Ye Lingxi slipped behind the rockery and admired the sterling silver scabbard and the moonstone the size of a pigeon egg. Hehe and a bell stood guard beside it. After admiring it for a few minutes, she pulled out the dagger and saw a silvery, snow-like light shining out.

After her eyes adjusted to the change in light, she couldn't help but marvel when she saw the strangely colored blade.

The blade reflected a faint blue light, as if surrounded by a layer of mysterious smoke. The texture was crystal clear, as if it was made of jade. She raised her hand and tapped it twice, and the sound was extremely clear.

"Princess, the emperor is here." Hehe and Lingdang reminded. Ye Lingxi immediately put the dagger into her sleeve, quietly poked her head out and took a look, and saw her father leading a group of people to visit the garden.

Ming Yue is also there.

With her petite body, it was easy to find a place to hide, but it was not easy to hide three people together. She quickly looked around and saw that the jasmine flowers in front were blooming beautifully, so she walked over with Hehe and Bell. While admiring the flowers, I kept my eyes open all the way and pretended not to see anyone.

When she walked over to look at the jasmine flowers, Eunuch De came over and said, "Princess, the emperor asked you to come over." After coming over, she hid behind Ye Lanchen and looked at Ming Yue's hair and eyes curiously, as if she was seeing them for the first time. Mingyue didn't mention what happened before. After being introduced by Eunuch De, Ye Lingxi slowly moved out from behind Ye Lanchen to greet him.

"Take the princess to play."

Ye Lanchen signaled, and Eunuch De led Ye Lingxi away first.

Before she could get far, Ye Lingxi heard a voice from behind, "Stop!" She looked back and saw Commander Wu walking towards a young eunuch, who had his back to everyone, looking nervous and guilty of committing a crime.

When Commander Wu approached, the young eunuch suddenly shouted: "Don't come over!"

Why does this voice sound so familiar, right? ! !

"Xiao Cezi, why are you here? Are you lost again?" Ye Lingxi came over and pointed in the direction, "I told you it's over there, why don't you go get water quickly."
