There is a lake on the south side of Dongxu City, Wu Kingdom.

The lake is named Xiangsi Lake.

There is an elegant courtyard by the lake of Xiangsi Lake, its name is Xiangsiju.

There was once a girl in Acacia Curie named Li Xiangsi.

Now this girl has become a half-old woman. Her face has changed a lot from the past. What remains unchanged is the arrangement of Xiangsiju and her name.

Of course, she also has her skill in simmering deer antlers in snow vegetables.

Sitting in the second floor of Acacia Ju, blowing the cool lake breeze in early autumn, drinking a cup of tea made of lotus leaves and lotus seeds, Hua Manting looked up at the person sitting opposite him.

That was a woman.

Under the light of the red lantern, her face looked a little haggard, just like the withered lotus leaves in the Acacia Lake, but it is difficult to conceal the beauty of the lotus when it blooms.

And charm!

She didn't use any makeup.

There was only an extremely ordinary willow hairpin inserted into her bun, and a small wooden pendant hung on the hairpin.

If you look closely, the pendant carved with a butterfly.

She is more graceful than when she was a girl. She has no childishness as she used to be, and she is calm and richer.

She is not Li Xiangsi.

She is... Miao Qiuqin!

The former eldest daughter of the General's Mansion of Wu, and now the wife of Xia Liu, the Duke of Xia, is Xia Hua's mother, Miao Qiuqin!

Prince An sat on one side.

He was facing Acacia Lake.

His slightly fat face did not lift up, and he was concentrating on cooking lotus leaf and lotus seed tea.

Hua Manting took a sip of tea and opened her mouth:

"Madam, I never expected that my wife would come here. Since my wife is here, I think I have to ask me some people or some things."

"Madam, it's okay to ask, I'm talking all the time!"

Miao Qiuqin smiled slightly, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks.

She reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead that was a little messy by the night wind, and asked seriously:

"My daughter Xia Hua, did she really fall in love with Li Chen'an?"

"yes!"

"Did Li Chenan really enter the Forgetful Platform?"

"yes!"

"The demonic appearance that my daughter has created is really Li Chen'an?"

"yes."

Miao Qiuqin took a long breath and looked at the dark Xiangsi Lake outside the window.

"So, she will never be able to get married in her life!"

Hua Manting pondered for a moment: "If Li Chenan could come out, of course she could marry Li Chenan."

Miao Qiuqin smiled bitterly:

"But that place is the Forgetful Platform!"

"I have read all Li Chen'an's poems and articles. That child... I still like it very much. I just want to step out of the platform of Forgetful Love, but the poems and articles are of no use."

Hua Manting thought for a while and comforted him: "Maybe he can really practice the Former Zhoutian Art to the Great Perfection."

Miao Qiuqin raised her eyebrows slightly, and she had no hope for it.

That is the forbidden area of ​​the Sword Cleaning Tower.

It's also a Jedi.

For thousands of years, so many extremely talented disciples in the Sword Tower have entered, but none of them can get out of it. Of course, she would not believe this for Miao Qiuqin, who had already become rational.

Prince An Wu Huan, who was cooking tea, looked at Hua Manting at this time.

He had some admiration, some loss, and some curiosity in his eyes.

"Old Hua, I never expected that he was Li Chenan!"

"I really admire him!"

"Originally, I admired his poems and articles, now... I admired him now!"

"True temperament!"

"Because of the extreme emotion, his poems have that unforgettable soul!"

"I am a brotherly love to him, but I am not as good as him!"

"After I heard that he was Li Xiaofeng, I didn't sleep all night that night, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Wu Huan shook his head and sighed: "I hope he can come out of the Forgetful Platform. If he appears in the world again, he is not just a poetic immortal, he is also... a martial saint!"

The world's No. 2 Zhoutian Art!

If Li Chenan can come out alive, it means that he has mastered the world's number one magical skill, it means that he has become a great master and is invincible in the world!

This is Wu Huan's beautiful expectation. In his heart, he also thought that Li Chenan could not be able to come out.

So, he put out the tea stove and placed a jar of Painted Pingchun on the table.

A woman who was about the same age as Miao Qiuqin came over.

She was holding a pot in her hand!

The pot was filled with hot smoke and a seductive fragrance wafted.

She is Li Xiangsi.

She put the pot on the table, wiped her hands on the apron, and whispered to Miao Qiuqin:

"I haven't made this snow dish for a long time. There is no fresh snow dish at this time... The taste may be worse, please try it, ma'am."

Miao Qiuqin looked up and smiled slightly, "I am naturally relieved of your skills. When it snows this winter, we will go to Jianshan to dig snow vegetables together!"

"good!"

Li Xiangsi bowed and retreated.

Miao Qiuqin looked at Hua Manting: "Old Hua, please try it."

Hua Manting picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully. After a moment, he put down the chopsticks:

“Great taste!”

Miao Qiuqin didn't hold chopsticks.

She suddenly lowered her head and sighed: "He brought me here to eat this dish back then."

"When I first ate this dish, I thought it was the best taste in the world."

"But later... I guess Mr. Hua knew that he was gone."

"After he left, I came here to eat again, but I could no longer taste the same."

"I would come here occasionally from now on, but I just sat down and talked to my sister Xiangsi and drank the lotus seed tea she cooked with her own hands."

"I have never eaten this dish again, but I have drunk a lot of lotus seed tea."

"I never liked the bitter taste, but since he left... I just liked the taste."

She raised her head and smiled again: "It's all over. Is it okay for him to be in Ningguo for the years?"

Hua Manting picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

What Miao Qiuqin said at this moment was of course warm boiled rain.

"It's not good, and of course it's not bad."

"Li Chen'an trusted him and he realized his former ideals and ambitions in Ningguo."

"But in life, it's a mess."

"After he left Wu, he went to the Uighurs in the autumn of the third year of Zhaohua. He became a relative in that place and married the seventh princess of the chief of the Uighurs. He gave her a Han name Ye Wan."

"Later, he took Ye Wan back to Ningguo and had a daughter named Wen Xiaowan."

"When Wen Xiaowan was two or three years old, Ye Wan left him and never came back."

"Since then, he took his daughter to Guangling City and built a Zhuyu Xiaozhu on the shore of Huaping Lake. Later, Zhuyu Xiaozhu was burned by someone with a fire. Wen Xiaowan... She was adopted by Shang Di, and later, she went to the brothel."

Miao Qiuqin was shocked, and Hua Manting said again: "This is Wen Xiaowan's choice. She is quite resentful to Wen Zhuoyu, the father."

"But Wen Xiaowan didn't do anything out of the way in the brothel. Now she is still taking care of the brothel and helping Li Chen'an take care of it."
