On the front of the waistband, five clouds are engraved.
Under the clouds, four characters were written in traditional Chinese characters: Personally passed down by the sect leader.
On the back of the waistband, there are many strange patterns engraved on it.
The waist tag is made of unknown wood. It is hard in texture and very light in weight. It exudes a faint fragrance.
Holding it in the palm of your hand, it feels like there is a strange energy flowing.
Bai Ruoshui frowned tightly, looking at the waist badge in her hand solemnly, and was speechless for a long time.
There was silence in the hall.
Another moment passed.
Nangong Xueyi finally couldn't help but asked: "Mother, is it true?"
Only then did Bai Ruoshui come back to her senses. She looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief and looked at him again. Fang nodded and said, "It's true. He is indeed the waist card of Lingxiao Sect."
As he said that, he handed over his waistband, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, saying: "Feiyang, I agree to this marriage. However, you still have to convince my prince, after all, you want to take away his pampering for more than ten years. My precious daughter.”
Luo Qingzhou took the badge, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Thank you, Princess."
Bai Ruoshui glanced at her daughter, gave her an appreciative look, then returned to the chair and sat down without interrupting, with a smile on her face and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Nangong Meijiao breathed a sigh of relief, looked to the other side, and said: "Dad, I don't ask you to agree to let me be with Chu Feiyang for the time being. I just hope that dad can keep him in the house for one night, and then help me tomorrow." Can you tell me a lie?"
Nangong Yufeng did not answer immediately, and was silent for a moment with a majestic expression. Fang looked at the young man beside her and said: "With his status as a direct disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, why should you help him deceive the Jin Yiwei? It's unacceptable for the Jin Yiwei to pretend to be a tiger in front of all the officials. In this life, I don’t dare to be arrogant in front of the five major sects. Even if he doesn’t want to expose the identity of the direct disciple of the leader of the Lingxiao Sect, Jin Yiwei will not dare to touch any direct disciple without ironclad proof.”
Nangong Meijiao paused and said softly: "I just didn't want Jin Yiwei to bother him. When Jin Yiwei asked, I just said casually that I deceived them. Who would have thought that Luo Changtian would not let him go and would come to ask again tomorrow? You, that's why I brought Chu Feiyang back to ask dad for help."
Nangong Xueyi, who was on the side, suddenly interjected: "Meijiao, are you sure you just said it casually and not planned it for a long time?"
Nangong Meijiao's face froze and she glared at her fiercely.
Nangong Xueyi stuck out her tongue with a smile, looked at the young man beside her, and suddenly said: "Dad, since Meijiao finally has someone she likes, then you can help her. At worst, I will give you a warning later. Those servants, please don’t spread the news about what happened tonight or publicize to the people below that Mr. Chu is here to visit you and has nothing to do with Meijiao. In this case, it should not affect the reputation of Meijiao and our palace. It’s face-saving.”
Bai Ruoshui on the side also helped to speak: "Xueyi is right, I can say that your good friends and nephews came to visit. Because it was getting late, they stayed in the mansion. I will warn those villains later. Just people, it shouldn’t be spread randomly.”
"As for the visit of the commander of the Royal Guards tomorrow, I can just follow what Meijiao said. I believe that in his capacity, he will not spread this matter that affects the reputation of the royal children. Even if he spreads it, we will not Just admit it.”
Nangong Yufeng glanced at him, pondered again, and then nodded and said: "Meijiao, since your mother said so, let him stay here tonight, and I will speak for you tomorrow. But after tomorrow , he is leaving. No matter what his status is, if he wants to marry my Nangong Yufeng's daughter, he must follow the rules and marry through a clear matchmaker. Before we get married, I don't want something like this to happen next time."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Meijiao immediately said happily: "Thank you, dad. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
It’s done this time, do you need another time?
Luo Qingzhou also cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely act according to the rules in the future and will never damage the princess' reputation."
Nangong Yufeng glanced at the bite mark on his lip again, snorted coldly, stood up, and walked away with a sullen face.
In the living room, several people looked at each other.
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, "Dad seems to be very angry. He probably feels sorry for his precious daughter who is about to be snatched away."
Bai Ruoshui stood up and said, "Feiyang, let's go, I'll take you to the guest room at the back to rest."
Nangong Meijiao immediately said: "Mother, I can just take him there."
Bai Ruoshui glanced at her, said nothing, and walked out of the door.
Luo Qingzhou quickly followed out.
Nangong Xueyi whispered from the side: "Meijiao, mother may be afraid that you will bring someone to your boudoir."
Nangong Meijiao glared at her.
Nangong Xueyi glared at her without showing any signs of weakness and said, "I just spoke for you, otherwise dad would not agree. Meijiao, you have to help me too."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "You are dreaming!"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and followed Bai Ruoshui intently.
The two sisters followed behind him.
Nangong Xueyi immediately threatened: "Meijiao, if you don't help me, I will tell Chu Feiyang all the embarrassing things you have done since childhood. I will also tell him your despicable behavior of spreading lime. Let him I despise you and laugh at you.”
Nangong Meijiao moved her lips and said without fear: "Whatever you want."
Nangong Xueyi glanced at her and said, "You think I don't dare to say it?"
Nangong Meijiao said: "You can try it."
Seeing that she really didn't seem afraid at all, Nangong Xueyi thought about it and suddenly said: "I also want to tell him that you like to wear shameless clothes made by the Qin Family Clothing Factory when you sleep, and you are shameless. "
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Meijiao's expression suddenly changed and he covered her mouth.
Seeing this, Nangong Xueyi immediately became excited, whined a few times, opened her hand, and said with a smile: "Finally let me catch you, Meijiao, promise me, take me to see Mr. Luo , otherwise, hum.”
Nangong Meijiao glared at her and said, "Shut up."
Nangong Xueyi immediately covered her mouth and nodded: "I will shut up, but you have to plug my little mouth with something, let's use Young Master Luo, otherwise he will definitely talk nonsense in front of your Chu Feiyang. "
Nangong Meijiao had a cold face and ignored her.
When Nangong Xueyi saw that she was finally under his control, she was secretly happy. She didn't push her too hard and decided to take her time.
"Mr. Chu, I would like to ask, what do you like about my beauty?"
Nangong Xueyi suddenly caught up and asked.
Nangong Meijiao was about to stop him, but hesitated and followed silently, pricking up her ears.
Luo Qingzhou replied with a serious face: "Princess Meijiao is beautiful, gentle and considerate, kind-hearted, just, honest, and never lies to others. She is a good person, has a good heart, and has a good temperament. Anyway, I like her."
The corners of Nangong Meijiao's mouth raised slightly.
Nangong Xueyi smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, are you sure that Meijiao is gentle and considerate and never lies to others?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Of course I am sure."
Then he added: "If beauty is not attractive, beauty will be in the eye of the beholder. No matter what shortcomings Princess Meijiao has in the eyes of others, in my eyes, they are all advantages."
As soon as he said this, Bai Ruoshui, who was walking in front, couldn't help but look back at him.
Nangong Xueyi was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "If lust is not attractive, people will be fascinated by it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..."
Then he asked: "Why is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Who is Xishi? Is this an allusion?"
When Luo Qingzhou heard this, his heart moved.
In this world, there is no such person as Xi Shi, and naturally there is no such allusion.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "It's a character in a book. Xishi is a very beautiful woman. Just like the princess, she is loved by everyone and is loved by everyone."
Nangong Xueyi's eyes lit up and said: "The person above? Everyone loves him, and flowers bloom when he sees him?"
At this time, Nangong Meijiao's cold voice came: "Which princess is he like?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately said: "Of course it's Princess Meijiao."
Nangong Meijiao snorted and let him go. Then looking at her sisters' eyes shining, she suddenly remembered something and said immediately: "Don't tell Xue Yi about that book!"
Nangong Xueyi immediately said: "Master Chu, tell me, otherwise I will stay with you tonight."
It had been a long time since she had seen anything interesting. When she heard that Xi Shi was loved by everyone and that flowers were blooming, she was naturally itchy.
Nangong Meijiao suddenly had a headache and hurriedly caught up to the front and said, "Mother, Xue Yi doesn't know how to respect herself. Please take care of her quickly."
Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoshui stopped, turned around and smiled: "I'm also very curious about who Xi Shi is. It's still early anyway, let Feiyang tell us the story later."
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xueyi immediately said excitedly: "Okay! Mr. Chu, your mother-in-law and sister-in-law have spoken. You must be obedient."
Luo Qingzhou: "..."
Nangong Meijiao glared at him fiercely, reached out and pinched his waist, and said angrily: "You did it on purpose!"
Luo Qingzhou's face was full of injustice.
He did know that Princess Xueyi liked to listen to stories, but just now he just said it casually, and it was just to flatter him. Who would have thought that a random name could cause such a "disaster".
The maid and her servants all retreated.
Bai Ruoshui personally took him to a small courtyard.
This is the guest room, which has already been cleaned.
After entering the living room, Nangong Xueyi immediately went to light the oil lamps and candles herself, and then went to bring water to make tea, which was particularly attentive.
Bai Ruoshui sat down on the chair and asked: "Feiyang, what is the type of story? A love story, an interesting story in the world, or a family affair?"
Luo Qingzhou understood.
The princess didn't just want to hear the story, she probably also wanted to see his knowledge, insight, and other abilities.
If he was just a martial artist and didn't even understand basic cultural knowledge, the princess would probably rate him again in her heart.
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Xi Shi is a woman, but this story is about a country. A country leader whose country is about to be destroyed, sleeps on it, uses beauty to seduce the enemy leader, and then returns to the country to take revenge. story."
"oh?"
When Bai Ruoshui heard this, he immediately became interested.
Nangong Xueyi also quickly came over to sit down and asked, "Mr. Chu, have you read the recent sensational book "The Story of Stone"?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "I heard it's a love affair between men and women, but I'm not interested."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at him with contempt on her face.
Nangong Xueyi said quickly: "Mr. Chu has misunderstood. There is indeed love between men and women in "The Story of the Stone", but it reveals a lot of human nature. The character and destiny of each character in it are wonderful and embarrassing. Every time I read it, , you will have different feelings. I can be sure that this book will be passed down through the ages! Mr. Chu must read it when he returns home. If you don’t read "The Story of the Stone", it will be in vain to read all the books!"
Immediately, she said with a proud face: "By the way, I also know the author of "The Story of the Stone". He is a young man about the same age as you, but he is much more handsome than you, and he is also a civil servant. Especially He is talented. Moreover, every poem he writes is a top choice and is amazing. Wait until next time..."
"Xueyi, shut up!"
Nangong Meijiao suddenly interrupted her and said with a cold face: "Do you want to listen to Chu Feiyang's story, or do you want to continue to show off your cousin's husband's talent? No matter how talented he is, he can write stories and poems again. What does it have to do with you? He is a married man, and there are many wives and concubines at home, and they are not yours, so what are you proud of? "
Nangong Xueyi was interrupted and glared at her angrily: "I was just preparing to listen to a story. Suddenly I remembered "The Story of the Stone", and then I said a few words casually. Meijiao, don't slander others. You Do you think that since your friend is a direct disciple of Lingxiao Sect, I will be afraid of you?"
Nangong Meijiao said with sarcasm on her face: "Did I slander you? No matter when you are eating or sleeping, you hold other people's books and poems in your arms. Every time you see me, you ask about their slightly ink husband, and you want me to take him with you." When you go to meet someone, you are a girl who has not yet left the imperial court, and you are a royal princess, are you ashamed?"
Nangong Xueyi suddenly said angrily: "Meijiao, you are the one who is not ashamed! You tonight..."
"Okay, there are guests here, what's the fuss about?"
Bai Ruoshui immediately looked sternly and said: "If you two sisters are arguing, go outside now and don't disturb me to listen to the story. Feiyang, go ahead and don't worry about them."
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Yes."
Nangong Xueyi snorted coldly, immediately calmed down, and pricked up her ears, but couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "So what if I'm a married man, what if I have three wives and four concubines? I don't care..."
Nangong Meijiao immediately said: "Mother, did you hear it?"
Bai Ruoshui's face darkened and she said, "Meijiao, you have to quarrel with your sister in front of the guests, right? What happened to you today? You didn't even want to say a word to Xueyi before, why are you talking so much today? Are you still targeting her?"
Nangong Meijiao said weakly: "I didn't, she..."
"What's wrong with her? How did she offend you? She just likes to talk nonsense. It's not the first time you've met her, so she just talks."
Bai Ruoshui frowned.
Nangong Meijiao's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. She turned away and said with a cold face: "Anyway, I am doing it for her good and for yours."
When Bai Ruoshui asked again, Luo Qingzhou quickly said: "Princess, two princesses, do you want to hear the story?"
Nangong Xueyi immediately said: "Listen, Mr. Chu, please speak quickly and ignore her. I am the elder sister, and I don't have the same knowledge as her, huh."
Nangong Meijiao glanced at her and said nothing.
Bai Ruoshui said warmly: "Feiyang, tell me."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the mother and daughter, who had similar facial features and graceful postures under the light, calmed down, and began to speak loudly.
"A long time ago, there was a country called Yue Kingdom, and there was a king named Gou Jian..."
