Chapter 1 The Snow Maiden

He Lanyu sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditative. The man who had been traveling for three years looked very leisurely, unlike the two anxious and worried figures in the palace.

Suddenly the carriage stopped, and He Lanyu frowned calmly.

Yixuan opened the curtain of the carriage, but the cold wind did not flow in much. Yixuan said: "Master, there is a little girl fainted on the roadside."

He Lanyu raised his head and glanced at Yi Xuan after hearing this, with a faint smile on his lips, stood up and raised the curtain and walked out. "Next time, just tell me what you want me to do."

Yi Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

He has been an orphan since he was a child, and followed other beggars in the capital. Later, he was caught stealing buns with his companions, knocked unconscious and thrown into the snow. He was rescued by He Lanyu who was passing by, and was taken back to the palace to be carefully nurtured.

At that time, he was about the same age as this little girl. When he saw her this time, he was inevitably moved by the scene. He remembered his own past and wanted me to save her too.

And he knew that if he was so kind, he would definitely save this little girl.

Here He Lanyu walked up to the little girl, took a look, and hugged the little girl sideways.

Yi Xuan on the side saw it and hurriedly stepped forward. "Master, let me do it. I will carry this girl to the carriage behind."

He Lanyu hugged the little girl and walked straight to his carriage. "No need, the carriage behind is colder. This girl is weak, so you should come to my car. You go back home first and let Dr. Zhang wait."

Yi Xuan looked at He Lanyu's back in surprise. His father had never been close to women, no matter how old he was. He hugged this little girl today and he could understand that he was soft-hearted and did not avoid suspicion for a while. But this time at the same time

Taking a carriage was something he never expected.

Although he was a little stunned, he was after all the most well-trained head guard of Xiaoyao Palace. In line with the principle of not changing his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, Yi Xuan took a deep breath and turned around and flew towards Xiaoyao Palace using Qinggong.

"Let's go."

Hearing this, the coachman nuzzled his horse gently, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

"Hurry up, this little girl doesn't know what's going on yet."

Hearing this, the coachman accelerated decisively, but it turned out that he was an experienced horseman. The carriage drove fast and steadily, and soon arrived at Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, which has not been taken care of by its owner for three years, does not feel dilapidated at all. It is obviously taken care of by someone. Only the housekeeper came out to greet him, and He Lanyu was not surprised at all.

He guessed that it was arranged by Yixuan.

Sure enough, the old housekeeper almost burst into tears when he saw his master.

He Lanyu's face was calm, but his steps were not slow at all. He rushed straight to the main house with the little girl who fainted in the snow. It was difficult for the old housekeeper to have an old bone and he had to run and stumble to follow.

Someone on the side explained breathlessly.

"Sir, after the guard Yixuan came back, I asked the other servants to prepare for your dust-washing banquet, so I was the only one who came out to greet you. Doctor Zhang is waiting in the side room. You..." The old housekeeper panted and stared at the prince's arms.

The girl inside hesitated to speak.

"Let him come directly to the main room." He Lanyu continued to walk forward expressionlessly. The reason why he did not use Qinggong was because he was afraid of knocking the little thing in his arms.

"This..." The old housekeeper looked at his father's back blankly.

"Huh? It's only been three years, and my order is so useless?" He Lanyu raised his eyebrows.

"...Okay, I'll go right away." The old housekeeper stepped aside, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked towards the side room.

Yi Xuan was explaining the situation to Doctor Zhang. Doctor Zhang almost stopped when he heard that he was called here because of a little girl. He thought that this Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion really had... serious business.

"Guard Yixuan, Divine Doctor Zhang, the prince asked you to go directly to the main room..." Yixuan was not surprised. He could have guessed it just by looking at the attitude of the master when he carried the little girl into the carriage, but he did not dare to directly ask Divine Doctor Zhang to go to the main room...

Waiting in the house. Doctor Zhang's originally slightly surprised expression at this moment would not be an exaggeration to describe it as shocked.

"Isn't this Prince Xiaoyao not flirtatious with women... He just came back with a little girl in his arms and went directly to the main house. Could it be that he experienced some terrible event in the three years he was away and changed his gender?" Of course, these words are very confusing.

The miracle doctor only dared to think about it in his mind without saying anything aloud. He lowered his head and followed the Yixuan guard statue into the main room.

The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead again and went to supervise the banquet without going with them.

Doctor Zhang followed Yixuan to the main room. After entering, he hurriedly checked the pulse of the little girl. After a while, he turned around, stroked his beard twice and said to He Lanyu: "Master, this little girl is fine. She just caught a cold.

. Give her a warm bath, and she will wake up naturally after a few hours. In this way, I will prepare a few pairs of Chinese medicine, boil one pack a day and give it to the girl to drink. I will ensure that the girl will be full of life within five days. "

"That's very good. Thank you so much, Doctor Zhang." He Lanyu folded his arms and leaned against the bed, staring at the person with closed eyes on the bed for a while, "Yixuan, let the housekeeper take the miracle doctor down to collect the money. By the way, he burned

Here comes a bucket of water."

"Yes." Yixuan left with the miracle doctor. After a while, someone brought in a bathtub and buckets of warm water.

"Pour the water into the tub and get down." He Lanyu still crossed his arms.

"Yes." The servants bowed their heads and retreated.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Helan Yu turned to look at the little man on the bed, thought for a moment, and sighed. "She's just a little girl, why am I nervous."

After muttering this to himself, he walked forward, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to strip the little girl naked, then pick her up and put her gently into the tub.

This was the first time he touched a woman's body. Even though the other person was a five or six-year-old child, He Lanyu couldn't help but blush. The little girl showed no sign of waking up yet, so she was naturally unconscious and slowly moved toward the bottom of the barrel.

Slide away.

Only then did He Lanyu react and quickly supported her. Her small body was very soft, her skin was white and translucent, and there were a few strands of moist hair on her smooth shoulders. She was well-behaved and not skinny.

He Lanyu secretly cursed, actually thinking about the little girl. He has never been among thousands of flowers. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a big truth to say that he is not close to women. But today, he has always been calm and self-sufficient.

He, who had no thoughts about any women, actually reacted.

In fact, he had seen her, in a trance, in a dream. He dreamed of the girl's emotions. From a child to a young girl, her words and deeds had always been as warm and pure as the sun. Although he could not see the face of the dreamer clearly.

, but he became more and more certain that it was the girl in front of him, he sighed and said to himself.

"The so-called fate is nothing more than this."

He Lanyu gently rubbed the little girl's body, dried her body, put it on the inside of the bed, and tucked her into bed.

He picked up the little girl's clothes on the soft couch and looked at them carefully. The clothes were cold and still wet - they were moistened by the melted snow. Although the clothes were ordinary, the pattern was something he had never seen before.

After squinting his eyes, he was sure that these were not clothes from Dongling, but more like... from the Western Regions.

He touched the hidden pocket in his sleeve, and there was indeed something hard inside. He felt it when he picked her up from the snow, and the thing hit his abdomen.

I took it out and put it under the luminous pearl for a closer look. It was an ancient and complex pattern that I had never seen before. The whole piece of jade was a bit white, obviously because it was too transparent. It was shaped like a round cake, hollowed out, and had a string of red tassels.

Hang below.

He Lanyu knew that this jade was obviously not an ordinary jade, and this little girl was definitely not an ordinary person. Forget it, just ask her after she wakes up.

He Lanyu undressed and took off his belt, leaving only his inner garment lying next to the little girl.

Although it is winter, the main house is as warm as spring. This warm pavilion was specially built by someone, and the ground can continuously transport heat. It seems that the skilled craftsmen hired by the emperor's brother happened to be from the Western Regions.

He Lanyu thought so and curled up his lips.

It seems like things are getting more and more interesting.

Have a good night's sleep.

"ah--!"

He Lanyu frowned and was awakened by the earth-shattering cry. He opened his eyes and looked at the little girl next to him. He gritted his teeth and asked with a slight anger: "You didn't sleep well so early in the morning. What are you yelling about?"

?”

The girl was immediately stunned. She only knew that when she woke up, she was naked, and a man wearing only a thin undershirt was lying next to her, so she yelled out in excitement.

"Master, has something happened?" Yi Xuan and the housekeeper all lived close to the main house. They heard the shouting coming from the prince's house and immediately came to check.

"It's okay, go prepare a set of clothes that this girl can wear, and call a few maids to come in and wash her."

"Yes." Yixuan and the housekeeper left quickly.

The girl finally calmed down and was surprised to find that her mind went blank and she could not remember anything. A feeling of powerlessness swept through her body.

He Lanyu kept her in a daze, and when she finally regained consciousness, she showed a confused look again, and she couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? Where do you live? Whose name is it? Why did you fall in the snow? Do you need me to take you home?" A series of questions came out naturally, and even I was surprised that I could talk so much.

Already.

But then I thought about it, for a little girl with unknown origins, these are things that I must ask and understand. Even if I don't ask, I will ask Yi Xuan later. I feel relieved after thinking about it.

The girl stared with big confused eyes, like a deer lost in the forest. She was only about seven years old, and her frailty was already faintly visible, but she still had an indelible childishness and a little baby fat.

Her small face makes people want to pinch it. Even though she hasn’t drank any water, her lips are still hydrated. It’s not difficult to guess what kind of beauty she will be in the future.

"I...I don't know." The girl spoke. Different from the shout just now, the voice that came out of her mouth was pleasant because it was in a normal speaking state, like an oriole on a branch in the waning spring. Although the words that came out of her mouth were not very good.

This was satisfying, because He Lanyu frowned tightly after hearing this answer.

"I don't know what it means?" The voice was a bit cold, which made the girl tremble. He Lanyu sighed secretly, wondering why he was arguing with a little girl, so he tried his best to soften his tone and spoke again patiently.
