"Your Majesty, that is Miss Xu."

Hearing this, the woman who was leaning on the railing and looking away turned her head. Following her gaze, she saw a girl with a smile on her face, greeting guests in the bustling long street decorated with lights.

He was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, and worked hard to sell concentric knots to customers.

Sun Li hurriedly said: "Today is the Qiqiao Festival, and there are many people on the street, so Miss Xu made heart knots and brought them to the street to exchange for money. Her father died early, and her mother seems to be feeling unwell recently..."

Xihe nodded: "Well, let's go and have a look."

The group of people went downstairs, and within a few steps they saw Miss Xu's stall and stood still.

Four guards with swords protected her body. The attendant beside her had a white face and no beard. Miss Xu noticed the woman before she walked in. When she got closer, she saw that the woman was dressed in a yellow robe and had majestic features. She couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Guest, guest."

She spoke tremblingly.

Xihe didn't speak, his gaze moved from top to bottom, inch by inch from her crescent-shaped eyebrows to her rosy lips - exactly the same as Song Chenyin.

Even after a lifetime, this face remains unchanged.

Xu Qingluan was frightened by the sight: "Guest, do you want to get married?"

He grabbed an exquisite, bright red concentric knot from the stall and carefully handed it to Xihe with a nervous smile: "Do you like this?"

For some reason, she had an unspeakable fear of the woman in front of her. She was so scared that she just wanted to escape at this moment.

However, the woman did not speak, and still looked at her quietly. A pair of sharp phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Xu Qingluan's scalp. Just when she was about to lose it, the woman finally said: "Yes."

Xu Qingluan felt as if he had been granted amnesty for a moment: "Then..."

Sun Li quickly stepped forward, took the knot, and handed the silver ingot over: "Is it enough?"

Xu Qingluan was stunned: "It's too much." She didn't have that much money to change, and she couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on her face.

However, Xihe had already turned around and left at this time. Sun Li said with a smile: "My master likes the girl's extraordinary skills. You can just take the remaining money and there is no need to look for it."

As soon as Miss Xu was born, the master sent someone to pay close attention to her.

Her family is in a difficult situation, but she has never really suffered much since she was a child. Her neighbors are very kind to her. Although there are some girls who have a gentle temperament and are kind to others, most of them are arranged by their masters.

Sun Li couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Qingluan's young and familiar face.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that there were people with such identical looks in the world... He couldn't help but think of two other equally familiar faces.

They were all people who were famous all over the world back then.

He turned around and quickly followed his master.

The group of people left just as quickly as they came, and soon there were no traces of a few people in the crowd.

Xu Qingluan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, she had no intention of continuing to sell, so she packed up casually and walked home with the basket. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a young man as soon as she reached an alley.

"Ouch!"

The basket fell to the ground and the contents were scattered all over the floor.

Xu Qingluan fell on his butt and frowned in pain. He couldn't help but said: "Gu Shang! How many times have I told you to watch the road when you walk, but why can't you always remember it?"

The young man was startled, and then he frowned and said aggrievedly: "I can't find you~"

No matter how angry Xu Qingluan was, she couldn't get angry at this time. Why did she care about a fool? She got up from the ground with support, and Gu Shang hurriedly helped her.

Two people picked up the scattered concentric knots.

Gu Shang was clumsy and accidentally caught the thread. Xu Qingluan was heartbroken and slapped his hand away: "Stop it, I will do it myself." Gu Shang stood aside obediently.

Covering it with blue cloth, Xu Qingluan stretched out his hand and looked at Gu Shang.

Gu Shang's eyes lit up, and he immediately held her hand and walked home happily. The moonlight stretched the shadows of the two of them very long.

royal palace,

As soon as he returned to the palace, Xihe went straight to the bedroom.

In the distance, a palace maid and eunuch stood outside the dormitory. There was a yellowish candlelight in the room, and a tall figure of a man was reflected in the window.

Xihe quickened his pace and strode to the door.

The palace maid and eunuch bowed respectfully: "Join Your Majesty."

The man sitting cross-legged in the room paused for a moment, then continued to close his eyes and muttered something.

crunch,

The palace door opens,

Steady and neat footsteps approached.

The next second, someone sat down next to him, and his warm breath gradually amplified in his ears.

The man's eyes were closed tightly, but even so, he could still feel how hot the eyes were on him. His heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster, and the heat burned from his neck to his face.

His face became more serious, and his mind became calmer and he read faster and faster.

Xihe was not in a hurry. He held his chin with both hands and looked at him with interest, sweating on his forehead and a serious look on his face. The more he looked at him, the more interesting he became, and he couldn't help laughing.

The man couldn't help it anymore, opened his eyes and said angrily, "Your Majesty!"

Xihe smiled: "Yes, I'm here." His eyebrows were stretched, and there was a sincere smile in his eyes, which was completely different from the majestic empress in the court.

As soon as the man came to watch, he said angrily: "It's late at night, Your Majesty, if you don't want to rest, why are you here on Pindao?"

Look, I teased him and I still don’t feel any guilt at all.

"Come to see you."

Like magic, Xihe took out a concentric knot and said, "Today is the Qiao Qiao Festival. I saw men and women on the street buying this thing to express their feelings to each other, so I bought one for you, too."

It was red and festive, shining brightly in front of him.

The man didn't answer, and his expression regained his composure: "Your Majesty, why should I send this poor man to you? I would rather send it to General Yuan."

Xihe was stunned for a moment and looked at the man's face carefully. He had slender eyebrows and long eyes, a straight bridge of his nose, and his lips were neither thin nor thick. They were all her aesthetic points.

But at this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly depressed, and it was easy to see that he was unhappy.

Xihe looked at it with a smile pouring out from his eyes. He leaned forward and slapped the man on the face. The man was so frightened that he jumped three feet high.

He pointed at her with trembling fingers, angry and embarrassed: "What are you doing!"

Xihe smiled brightly: "What, are you jealous?"

The man suddenly became furious: "Why is Pindao jealous? Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense and ruin Pindao's reputation!"

Xihe blinked his eyes with confusion on his face: "You live in my palace and sleep with me day and night. How can you actually have such a thing as reputation?"

"Yuanbao, come here quickly, I will help you tie the concentric knot around your waist."

Yuan Bao was so angry that he jumped up and down: "That's why you forced the poor Taoist. All the immortals in the sky obey your orders, and you still force them. If the poor Taoist doesn't agree to enter the palace, you will cleanse the Heavenly Palace!"

"What can they do? They can only force the poor Tao, but what can the poor Tao do?"

He still remembered that he had just woken up, and all the immortals, emperors and queens in the room were talking about him. He was packed and sent to the palace gate without even understanding the situation.

The more Yuan Bao thought about it, the angrier he became. After all, he was also a heavenly official, a heavenly immortal, so why could he only be trapped in this one-third of an acre of land? He had to watch her marry someone else! Damn it!

Yuan Bao snorted: "Pindao is leaving the palace!"
