The cold wind is biting.
On the Yunwu River, snowflakes are falling and the smoke is hazy.
In the wind and snow by the river.
Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green clothes, was standing there alone, looking at the snow-covered road on the other side, as if waiting for something.
From dawn to dusk.
The biting cold wind and the icy falling snow did not distract her from her sight.
In the middle of the river, there was a small boat floating.
On the bow of the boat, a graceful figure wearing an aqua dress and bare feet was sitting there, not afraid of the severe cold of the winter water, swaying her snow-white feet in the water boredly.
Her figure was hidden in the mist and halo of the river, vague and invisible.
I don’t know how long it took.
Her pair of snow-white jade feet that stirred the cold river water suddenly stopped.
She turned her head and looked towards the shore.
At the same time, the cold and hazy eyes of Linghu Qingzhu, who was standing on the other side of the river, also suddenly lit up.
In the wind and snow not far from the other side, a familiar figure finally returned.
The lake was unclear at first, but soon it came closer.
"Uh-huh!"
He flew up from the shore, like a sudden leap, and then landed gracefully on the river. The strong wind surrounded his feet. He walked on the water and soon landed on the small boat in the middle of the river.
"Master! You are finally back! Long'er misses you so much!"
The girl on the bow quickly stood up, threw herself into his arms without shame, and hugged him tightly.
Luo Qingzhou also hugged her gently and stroked her hair with a gentle expression, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
The two hugged for a while.
Long Er let go of him, raised his little face, and the red dot between his eyebrows was particularly touching, and said softly: "Master, go and have the family reunion dinner quickly, there are many people at home waiting for you. Also, there is also one on the other side. This woman will stand there waiting for you every night, go and see her."
Luo Qingzhou listened to her gentle and considerate words and looked at her charming eyes and face. He couldn't help but lower his head and kissed her forehead and said, "Then I'll come find you again in the evening."
Long Er's face was filled with happiness and he nodded: "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked again: "Have you invited Sister Yue?"
Hearing this, Long Er sighed and said, "The invitation was given, but my sister didn't answer. Long Er doesn't know if she will come tonight."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, without saying anything more, and said: "Then I'll go back first. You go back to the Dragon Palace. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Long Er said obediently: "Yes."
Luo Qingzhou looked towards the other side.
But what surprised him was that the figure that was still there just now had disappeared without knowing when.

He was stunned for a moment, then his figure flashed across the water and reached the other side.
But the surroundings were empty, with only the whining cold wind and flying snowflakes. There was a vast expanse of white everywhere, but the figure was nowhere to be seen.
He was stunned for a while, then walked along the river towards his home.
Putting on the loose Confucian robe, taking off the mask on his face, restraining his warrior aura, he transformed into an elegant and elegant scholar.
He took out the ultimatum and sent a message to Master Linghu: [Uncle Master, why are you leaving? I still want to talk to you]
After a while, the message came back: [Your family is waiting for you, I won’t disturb you anymore]
Luo Qingzhou felt a little guilty, thought about it, and replied: [Then I will go to the sect to find you tomorrow]
Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a day to pay New Year greetings.
As a disciple of Lingxiao Sect, he naturally wanted to return to the sect to pay New Year's greetings to his master, uncle, Sister Dao and other senior sisters.
Zhuzhu: [Okay]
Luo Qingzhou felt relieved after seeing her reply.
He sent another message to the princess and took a photo of the surrounding area: [Princess, I am back and I will be having a family reunion dinner soon. How about you? 】
The message came back quickly: [Just go back. We entered the palace, and the Queen Mother invited us to spend the New Year together. By the way, there is still no news about your eldest brother]
Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the house not far away.
A lantern was hung on the fence in front of the door.
Spring couplets were also posted on the door.
The lights in the house are bright, the kitchen is filled with smoke and birds, and there are figures of maids hurrying back and forth in the courtyard.
The family is preparing for the reunion dinner.
However, there is one person missing.
Although everyone has smiles on their faces at this time, they are all thinking about Big Brother in their hearts, right?
Luo Qingzhou sighed secretly and sent another message to Xiaoyue: [I have left the city. The underground in the inner city is very dangerous. You should not go there for the time being]
The other party did not reply immediately.
Luo Qingzhou put away the summons, calmed down his mood, and strode towards the house.
Enter the small fenced courtyard, pass through the gate, and enter the courtyard.
Snowflakes dyed the entire courtyard white, and Meier was sweeping the bluestone path in the middle with a broom. After seeing him, she quickly shouted to the hall: "Master, Madam, Miss! My uncle is back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole family immediately came out to greet him.
Luo Qingzhou felt warm and sad at the same time when he saw this scene.
Tonight is the night of the reunion, and the eldest brother is not here. If he doesn't come back, then the family may not even be in the mood to eat.
Song Ruyue and Miss Qin, wearing the same snow-white fox fur, came out of the house like sisters. When they saw him, they immediately scolded him in a gentle tone: "Why are you coming back now? Everyone is waiting for you, I thought you were I won’t be back for the reunion.”
Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "As Wei Mo said, brother Qingzhou will definitely come back in time. No matter how beautiful the scenery of Lingxiao Sect is, it is not as good as our own home."
Luo Qingzhou made eye contact with her, understood immediately, and said with cupped hands: "I have kept my father-in-law and mother-in-law waiting for a long time. Qingzhou was studying at a friend's place and forgot the time for a while, so he came back late."
Qin Wenzheng smiled and said, "Okay, come in quickly. I'll be waiting for you."
Qin Chuan said from a corner not far away: "Qingzhou, go in quickly, the second brother is coming to set off firecrackers, be careful not to scare you."
Luo Qingzhou smiled, walked up the steps, reached out and held Miss Qin Er's soft little hand, looked into her eyes lovingly, and then helped her into the house.
Oil lamps and candles were burning in the room, illuminating the entire hall extremely brightly.
The first time Luo Qingzhou entered the room, he saw Miss Qin sitting on a chair.
No matter where she is, she is the most eye-catching one.
Today's Miss Qin is still wearing a snow-white skirt underneath and the same snow-white fox fur as Miss Qin's. Her flawless face looks a little softer under the furry fox fur and the light. .
Bai Ling, who was wearing a pink dress, and Xia Chan, who was wearing a pale green dress, stood behind her.
When Bai Ling saw him, she immediately turned her pretty face away, pouted her little mouth, and seemed to snort. She looked a little angry, probably because she hadn't gone to see her for several days.
Xia Chan looked at him gently, quietly, still the beautiful girl who didn't like to talk but was sincere to him.
Luo Qingzhou greeted Miss Qin: "Miss."
Miss Qin lowered her head slightly and turned the book in her hand. She didn't know whether she didn't hear him or didn't want to pay attention to him.
Luo Qingzhou knew her temper, so naturally he wouldn't care.
"Peng!"
There was a sudden explosion outside, and then "cracking" and a burst of firecrackers.
The maids covered their ears and looked excitedly at the firecrackers jumping and flashing outside.
Qin Wenzheng and his wife were all smiling, but their smiles seemed a little bitter.
Luo Qingzhou raised his hand and covered the ears of Miss Qin next to him.
Second Miss Qin glanced at him with a smile, and leaned gently into his arms, but after glancing somewhere, she lowered her head slightly and left his chest gently.
After the firecrackers were set off, Qin Chuan also entered the house and said with a smile: "Eat! I'm starving. I haven't eaten all day."
Then he said: "Qingzhou, please take your second brother to Lingxiao Sect anytime. There are all warriors there. Second brother can go and compete with them. This way, you can practice faster."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll tell my friend next time, but I may not be able to bring anyone up again."
He suddenly said: "By the way, second brother, have you ever thought about joining the Lingxiao Sect to practice?"
Qin Chuan sighed and said: "I am a student of Longhu College, Lingxiao Sect probably won't want me."
At this time, Song Ruyue pulled out the chair and said: "Come and sit down to eat and chat while eating. It's cold and the food will be cold soon."
At this time, several maids began to serve hot dishes one after another.
Luo Qingzhou saw that Xiaodie was also helping to serve the dishes.
Song Ruyue glanced at his face and quickly explained: "Qingzhou, it's not my mother-in-law who bullied Xiaodie while you were away. It was Xiaodie who took the initiative to help. Tonight, my mother-in-law cooked by herself, and Xiaodie also helped pick vegetables. It’s over.”
Xiaodie put down the dishes in her hands and said quickly after hearing this: "Master, everyone is helping. Naturally, the servants can't be idle either."
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said: "That's right. It's a reunion dinner. Naturally, the whole family cooks together to create an atmosphere."
Seeing that he was not angry, Song Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wine pot and said, "Here, let's try the fruit wine brewed by my mother-in-law."
When Luo Qingzhou heard the name, he glanced at her and couldn't help but remember the embarrassment he felt after drinking fruit wine for the first time.
There should be no problem with the fruit wine tonight.
He quickly stood up and picked up the wine glass.
Song Ruyue poured another glass for her master, and then poured a glass for herself. After pouring, she put down the wine bottle.
Qin Chuan immediately knocked on Kuaizi and said, "Mother, you seem to have forgotten your son."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table suddenly solidified.
The smile on Song Ruyue's face froze and she looked at him.
Qin Wenzheng also looked at him.
Qin Chuan suddenly realized that something was wrong. When he thought about it carefully, his face became ugly. He quickly reached out to pick up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Mother, I am joking with you. Of course, I will pour this wine myself. "
Luo Qingzhou suddenly asked: "By the way, mother-in-law, where did you buy so much meat on this table? Have you ever been to the city?"
Only then did Song Ruyue's face forcefully reveal a smile again, and she said: "The chicken was bought from other villagers, and the fish was caught by your father-in-law from the river. As for the other meat, your second brother went to get it from the mountains. You taste it, it’s very fragrant.”
Luo Qingzhou picked up a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and said, "It's really delicious."
Then he turned around and asked: "Second brother, are there a lot of game in the mountains?"
Qin Chuan secretly thanked him for changing the subject, and said quickly: "There are so many, it's almost impossible to catch them all. Within an hour after my second brother went in, he caught pheasants, wild boars, roe deer, and rabbits. If my mother hadn't urged me to be so anxious, I would have caught them all." If I go back earlier, I can catch a lot more. It’s especially easy to catch when it snows.”
Luo Qingzhou said: "Then second brother, please take me with you next time. I also want to catch a few."
When Qin Chuan heard this, he immediately felt confused: "Qing Zhou, you can't do it. You are too weak. It's freezing cold and the snow in the mountains is deep. If you go there, you may have difficulty even walking. What if you meet someone in the mountains? When it comes to monsters, the second brother has no time to take care of you. If something happens to you, the second brother can't explain it to Weimo."
Luo Qingzhou asked again: "Second brother, can these little animals run fast?"
"Of course it's fast. The second brother can catch them so easily because the second brother is faster than them..."
The two chatted and quickly dispersed the tense atmosphere.
The family was eating, listening to the two of them chatting about various small animals in the mountains. Miss Qin Er would occasionally add a few words, and the atmosphere quickly became cheerful.
After eating, everyone went outside to set off fireworks.
Butler Zhou asked villagers far away to buy these things.
"Puff puff!"
Seeing the fireworks on the ground rushing up into the night sky one by one, and the gorgeous flowers blooming in the night sky, everyone raised their heads and smiled on their faces.
Luo Qingzhou looked at it for a while, then turned his head and looked at the girl beside him.
Second Miss Qin was leaning on his shoulder softly, looking up at the night sky quietly with her clear and soft cheeks. In the dark hole, gorgeous flowers were blooming.
Just when Luo Qingzhou was about to look away, Miss Qin said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, if I hadn't met you, Wei Mo would have been like these fireworks, fleeting, and even not as lively as them. and beauty.”
Luo Qingzhou's heart was full of pity, he stretched out his arms and held her gently in his arms.
When he turned his head, from the corner of his eye, he saw Miss Qin wearing a snow-white fox fur in the corridor next to her, seeming to be looking at him quietly.
He was startled, turned his head, and looked at the corridor behind him.
Miss Qin was dressed in snow-white, standing quietly at the railing, raising her head slightly, looking at the fireworks in the night sky. Her cheeks illuminated by the fireworks were as beautiful as a fairy.
When Luo Qingzhou looked at her, she seemed to sense it and looked at him too.
The two looked at each other.
Luo Qingzhou withdrew his gaze as if escaping, and looked at the night sky again.
"Brother Qingzhou, are there any dangers with so many fireworks flying into the sky?"
Second Miss Qin asked softly.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes flashed, and he said: "What danger can there be? It's freezing cold, it will go out if it falls, and it won't catch fire. As for whether it will be seen by others, what does it matter? It will come sooner or later. Still coming.”
Second Miss Qin gave a soft "hmm" and leaned gently into his arms without saying another word.
After setting off the fireworks, the family talked for a while in the corridor and then dispersed.
On such a cold night, it would be more comfortable to go back to the room early and lie in bed.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin, took Qiu'er and Xiaodie, and walked towards the backyard with Miss Qin.
Bai Ling walked in front carrying a lantern.
Xia Chan held the sword and walked behind.
As for Pearl, she was helping to pack things.
After sending the three Miss Qin to the entrance of Lingchan Moon Palace, Luo Qingzhou helped the second Miss Qin to leave.
After returning to her courtyard, Miss Qin whispered softly before entering the house: "Brother Qingzhou, go talk to Xia Chan and Bai Ling, and come back later."
Luo Qingzhou really wanted to talk to Chan Chan. He nodded when he heard this. When he was about to leave, Miss Qin said again: "Brother Qingzhou, remember not to neglect your sister."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her again, then turned and left.
Have you not let go of Miss Qin Er's thoughts yet? Judging from the situation, it seems that is indeed the case.
However, he is not that shameless.
Miss Qin's appearance made it clear that she just didn't want to pay attention to him, so why should he be so enthusiastic about it... Well, scholars, be polite.
"Creak, creak..."
He walked through the snow and arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace.
at the same time.
Royal Palace, Yaohua Palace, in the bathroom.
Nangong Huoyue was wearing a fiery red dress and was standing by the bathtub, looking at the water and petals in the bathtub hesitantly.
Although the water has been changed and everything here has been cleaned, but...
That guy admired her so much and regarded her as a goddess in his mind. He finally had the opportunity to sleep here and bathe in the bathtub where she bathed. Could he not help but leave some dirty things in it?
She frowned and thought about it for a while, then remembered the dinner just now.
The dinner just now was not pleasant, so she took a few bites and left.
Everyone was happily discussing going to Lingxiao Sect tomorrow to help her propose marriage, in front of her, completely ignoring her feelings.
Although, she chose that person herself.
