"Except for the disciples of this generation from your Tianshan Sword Sect and a few guys from Beihai Island, Dongfang Yu'er and Shangguan Yu'er from Phoenix Mountain have very good qualifications. I didn't expect that when I saw the little princess today, she was no less qualified. Yu two little girls. It’s a pity that she doesn’t want to come to the Royal Academy to practice.”
Xia Yuan in the garden sighed softly, then raised his sake glass and took a sip.
Nalan Kunxuan nodded and said with a smile: "These three little girls all have good qualifications, but it is said that Dongfang Yu'er from Qingcheng is already related to the second prince, and the engagement ceremony will be held in two years."
"Marrying into the palace is indeed a joyful thing, but for practitioners, blindly relying on external things to improve their realm is ultimately not the answer. Only the current emperor has the great perseverance to cultivate his realm to this level. How have I ever heard that the royal family can produce peerless masters?"
Xia Yuan became worried when he thought about what happened in the palace. This is why he would rather come to the Royal Academy than stay in the Imperial City.
Nalan Kunxuan smiled: "Look further ahead, don't just look at the present. In your eyes, which of these three little girls do you like the most?"
Xia Yuan was startled, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I don't understand! The qualifications of the little princess and Shangguan Wushuang are almost the same. If nothing happens, their realms will be the same in ten years. "
Nalan Kunxuan nodded. "I think so too, but there are countless opportunities and countless risks on the path of spiritual practice. There are too many unknown factors, which are not something you and I can peep into."
"Nalan Yu from your family is not bad. He has been working under the emperor for a long time. He must have a bright future in the future."
Xia Yuan put down his wine glass and smiled.
Nalan Kunxuan frowned when he heard this and sighed: "That boy has good qualifications, but he is too obsessed with love and likes people he shouldn't like. I don't know what the future will be like."
"How do you say this?" Xia Yuan suddenly became interested and stared at the old man opposite.
"That boy somehow fell in love with the girl named Hua Tianxia from Huamanlou. You also know that Huamanlou belongs to the second prince."
Nalan Kunxuan looked at him and sighed, muttering to himself.
"I know this, so what if they are the people under the second prince? There will always be a day when you turn from the dark side to the bright side, right?" Xia Yuan looked at him and laughed.
Nalan Kunxuan glared at him, shook his head and continued.
"And the emperor punished the second prince severely for his mistakes a few years ago. He even sent all his disciples away, and almost even brought Huamanlou. Later, Concubine Li begged for mercy, and then she stayed. ."
Nalan Kunxuan sighed and poured half a glass of wine into his mouth.
Xia Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and said: "The second kid has done a lot of wrong things, I know that. It's just that Changfeng deliberately gave Nalan and his team to the boss to take care of, and Huamanlou is The second son’s men are really in chaos now.”
At this point, Nalan Kunxuan rolled his eyes at Xia Yuan and said, "Don't think that you are the only one who has troubles. Everyone is the same."
"That's right. Don't talk about this. Come on! Keep drinking." Xia Yuan muttered while pouring the wine.
"But your boy will eventually succeed as he follows the emperor. I believe they both will have a bright future. You have to believe in my vision!"
Xia Yuan looked at him and said softly, his eyes full of confidence.
"Really? I'm really borrowing your blessing. If it really happens one day, I have to thank you properly." Nalan Kunxuan poured another drink into their glasses.
"Although this wine is good, this is not how you drink it. Leave some for me. Can't we drink it slowly?" Xia Yuan looked at the wine jar on the table with distress.
Nalan Kunxuan glared and replied loudly: "I just drank a bottle of wine from you. This wine is not given to you alone. You are too stingy, right?"
Xia Yuan couldn't resist him, so he could only shake his head and reply: "Okay, I'll pack another jar when you leave later."
"That's pretty much it. I'm the only one who can accompany you here." Nalan Kunxuan nodded and smiled.
...
Ten days before the summer solstice, another black carriage arrived at the gate of the Royal Academy. The difference was that this time there was no man in black guard behind the carriage.
After the man in black who drove the carriage showed a nameplate, the carriage drove directly into the gate of the college without stopping.
In front of the college square, Li Hongxiu, who was wearing a white embroidered skirt, helped Mu Mu, who was wearing a green skirt, to jump out of the carriage. The two walked hand in hand to the grassy slope on the edge of the square while the carriage continued to move forward.
The gentleman in the car wanted to see Dean Xia Yuan first, but Li Hongxiu felt bored so he led Mu Mu out of the carriage and started walking.
It was almost noon, and students who had finished their classes walked out of the classroom, which had been boring all morning. Some went to the college kitchen to eat, and some walked across the square to the dormitories on the grassy slope.
Li Hongxiu led Mu Mu, and the two of them walked one behind the other on the grassy path beside the square.
Mu Mu waved her little hand: "There is a pavilion at Master's house. Let's sit there and wait for Sir."
Li Hongxiu nodded and said, "Then go."
One big and one small walked into the pavilion one after another. Mu Mu took out a handful of melon seeds and placed them on the stone table in the pavilion. She picked a few seeds and put them in her mouth to eat. Li Hongxiu took out the water bottle and took a sip.
"Does Sister Wushuang live here? Will she like Mu Mu?" Mu Mu murmured while eating melon seeds.
Li Hongxiu put down the kettle, handed it to Mu Mu, and said with a smile: "We are all one family, there is no reason why we wouldn't like you."
Mu Mu took the water and took a sip, shouting: "Even if she and her brother make a marriage arrangement, Mu Mu must agree to it." After speaking, he nodded heavily.
"You little rascal, this matter is none of your business." Li Hongxiu said with an angry smile.
After leaving Fangcun Mountain, Mr. Wang returned to the Buddhist capital. After learning that Nalan Yu had returned to the Central Region, he rested for the night.
The next day, the inn's waiter took a carriage and traveled all the way to the Royal Academy.
In the words of the teacher, come to the academy first to see the people you want to meet, and then return to the Central Territory.
Li Hongxiu is following her husband anyway, so it doesn't matter where she goes. Mu Mu is a snack foodie, so as long as she has something to eat, she will go anywhere.
"Brother belongs to Mu Mu alone. If they want to be good to him, they must be good to me first."
Mu Mu was mumbling to herself, and Li Hongxiu couldn't help but look at her with laughter, thinking that this was also a little devil.
While they were talking, two masters and apprentices, one big and one small, walked down the hillside. The one wearing a green embroidered Luo skirt was Xu Jingyun, and the one wearing plain white was Shangguan Wushuang.
Looking at Li Hongxiu in the pavilion, the young lady shouted from a distance: "Master's wife, why are you here?"
Li Hongxiu was startled, turned around and laughed immediately.
Pointing at the young lady, he said: "Mumu, just as we were talking, your sister Wushuang and her master Xu are here."
Mu Mu twisted around and saw that a young lady was walking from the path on the hillside.
"Sister Hongxiu, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are getting more and more beautiful." Xu Jingyun greeted Li Hongxiu as she walked into the pavilion.
"I've met Master." The young lady blessed her gently, then opened her eyes and looked at the little girl in front of her, with a look of confusion on her face.
"Hurry up and call someone! Little guy." Li Hongxiu glared at Mu Mu and said angrily.
Mu Mu made a face with her, imitating the young lady's behavior, and gave Xu Jingyun a blessing. "Bai Mumu of Fengyun City has met Mr. Xu and Sister Wushuang."
The young lady stared at Mu Mu with her wonderful eyes open. She walked closer and took her little hand and asked, "When I left, you were still on Tianshan Mountain. We have never seen you."
Li Hongxiu was stunned and couldn't help but laugh: "Of course you have never seen her. She is a treasure of your family. Even that kid Li Ye can't do anything to her."
In fact, she really wanted to tell the girl in front of her that the person in front of her was a little devil, and even Li Ye couldn't do anything about her.
"Are you Li Ye's sister on Tianshan Mountain?" Xu Jingyun sat down opposite Li Hongxiu and stared at Mu Mu, looking left and right.
Before Miss Li could ask or Li Hongxiu could explain, Mu Mu curled her lips and muttered: "My brother picked it up on Tianshan Mountain. Well, don't ask anymore."
Xu Jingyun and the little sister laughed together, and the little sister couldn't help but ask: "Sister, you are here, where are your husband and brother?"
Mu Mu grabbed some melon seeds from the table and stuffed them into the little sister's hand, and replied incoherently: "Sir, he went to see the dean, and my brother is still on Fangcun Mountain."
The young lady was stunned, with deep disappointment on her face.
Li Hongxiu saw it in her eyes, and there was a ripple in her heart. After all, she had watched her little sister and Li Ye grow up. The two had never seen each other since they separated, and even she couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
"Don't worry about that kid Li Ye. He is doing well on the mountain. The conditions are much better than when he was on Tianshan Mountain. Prajna Temple and Xuantian Temple will let him play..."
In desperation, she had no choice but to comfort the little girl in front of her.
Xu Jingyun patted the young lady's hand gently and said, "You already knew this, don't be sad."
Mu Mu threw the melon seeds in her hand on the table, clapped her hands and said, "My brother brought something to my sister. Where is the husband? Let's go find him together."
While he was talking, he saw Uncle Feng, the dean's butler, passing by.
He greeted Xu Jingyun and said, "The dean invites Mr. Mo to have dinner at the Yingbin Building. Please invite a few of you to go with the old man."
Mu Mu jumped off the stone bench, patted her butt, took the young lady's hand and said, "Okay, there's meat to eat. Mu Mu was very hungry on the road."
Li Hongxiu looked at Xu Jingyun, dumbfounded. She pointed at Mu Mu who ran out of the pavilion and said, "This is a little bad guy. Don't listen to her."
Xu Jingyun smiled and said, "Sister, please."
The group of people followed Uncle Feng and walked down the grass slope toward the Yingbin Building.
...
"I didn't expect that after seeing each other in Fengyun City, the little girl back then had grown into a graceful little girl."
The husband looked at the shy look on the young lady's face and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
After inviting the group to lunch in the Yingbin Building, Dean Xia Yuan arranged for the group to stay in a small courtyard in the VIP area of the college, and then left.
The husband invited Xu Jingyun and his disciples to come over for a chat. The group sat around the living room in the small courtyard. Li Hongsleeves were spread out making tea, and Mu Mu also took out a bunch of snacks bought in Fodu and put them on the table.
The young lady was blushing and lowering her head, as if she was in a cloud.
"Actually, I wanted to take Wushuang to Tianshan Mountain to ask my husband for advice, but time was not given and I missed the opportunity. This separation lasted several years, but it felt so fast."
Xu Jingyun looked at the busy Li Hongxiu and said.
Li Hongxiu couldn't help but blush when she thought that she would chase her husband under Li Ye's heckles.
While washing the cup, he smiled and said, "I think at that moment, Wushuang was still blocking Li Ye at the door of the General's Mansion."
At this point, the young lady's face turned even redder.
Mu Mu stretched out her head to talk to her: "Sister Wushuang, I heard that you had a fight with your brother back then. Which one of you won?"
When the young lady heard this, she blurted out: "Of course I win, how can he beat me?"
Thinking of that snowy day back then, when she stood in front of the house to block Li Ye and the two of them fell down in the snow, the young lady couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Mu said "Oh" and then continued: "Then Mu Mu will have a fight with her sister another day to avenge her brother."
Li Hongxiu was stunned when he heard this.
I thought to myself that you are really a little devil. Wherever you go, you never forget to stand up for that guy on the mountain.
The young lady was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect that this cute-looking little girl in front of her could speak unambiguously.
