What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

In the small courtyard outside the house, Xiaoyu was still confronting the red-haired boy Chi Yan.Even though the young man knew that Chi Lin had invited them in, he still acted unconvinced at the moment.Xiaoyu's expression became much calmer, obviously teasing him.I don't know if it's out of anger or embarrassment.The boy's face was even redder than when they entered just now.

They came out of the house and greeted Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, we should go."

Xiaoyu heard them calling, so she stopped paying attention to the boy, and jumped in front of them:

"Is it done? Is it all right?"

Gu Xunzhi nodded, Xiaoyu followed them out without asking any further questions.The young man suddenly lost his opponent, and he didn't seem to react for a while, he still stood there blankly, until they were about to walk out of the door, then he called out as if suddenly awakened:

"Hello! Is your name Xiaoyu? Where do you live?"

The boy was obviously interested in Xiaoyu, but he pretended to be indifferent and asked about Xiaoyu's situation in a casual tone.His duplicity was really interesting, everyone stood still and looked at Xiaoyu with great interest, wondering how she was going to answer.But she just turned her head and smiled at him, without saying a word, turned around and walked away with Ren Sha and the others.

The boy named Chi Yan still stood there, staring blankly at her for a long time.

They walked a little further, and when the small courtyard at the back was out of sight, Gu Xunzhi smiled at Xiaoyu and said:

"The kid behind has been watching you."

Xiaoyu made a grimace:

"Whatever, anyway, I won't come here again in the future."

Ren Zhen asked Chi Lin for the information she wanted, and she was in a good mood at the moment, and she didn't mind chatting for a while, so she smiled slightly and asked her:

"Xiaoyu, you didn't honestly learn etiquette in the palace, why did you escape?"

"Anyway, I've decided to leave, etiquette and so on, just learn about it. I've been bored in the palace for the past two days, and it happened that they gave me a waist card, so I just ran out to play, and I happened to run into you, I came here just out of curiosity."

Recently, after Xiaoyu's spirit has recovered, she has become more lively, and even walks with a kind of bouncing energy.Seeing her like this, Gu Xunzhi unconsciously asked:

"Are you really determined to leave? The cold jade spirit stone of Qingqiu country is very beneficial to your body. If you can stay for a few years, your body will fully fuse with the Nanming pearl, and you will be promoted to a nine-tailed spirit fox." indefinite."

Xiaoyu smiled, and her expression became a little more serious:

"I also thought about this kind of thing last night. If I leave Qingqiu country, my cultivation will definitely not be as easy as it is now. But if I stay here, even if I become a nine-tailed spirit fox in the future, I will definitely not be free. I grew up in the mountains, and I can't stand these things the most. Now it's not easy to be patient and learn some etiquette. Xiao Qingzi probably thought of these things before deciding to help me leave."

When Gu Xunzhi heard Xiaoyu mention Qing Ruxu, his heart moved.Suddenly realized that Qing Ruxu's affection for Xiaoyu...maybe not completely unnoticed.

Several people returned to the palace while chatting.Xiao Yulai refused to leave with them, saying that if he went back, he would definitely be arrested again and learn some etiquette.It's better to stay with them and have fun.Everyone didn't mind, and just let her stay here to play.

But it's not that easy to hide away. After Xiaoyu didn't stay here for long, a little attendant came to find him. When he saw Xiaoyu, he was so excited that he almost cried:

"Ancestor, where did you go just now! Since you have already returned to the palace, why are you wasting your time here again? In order to find you, we have turned the entire East Palace upside down!"

That little attendant looked really pitiful, even Gu Xunzhi and Immortal Guichen felt sorry for him when they saw him.Xiaoyu showed a look of indifference:

"What's the rush, what's the matter? Didn't you agree that there will be only etiquette class this morning?"

The little attendant was in a hurry:

"It's not such an insignificant matter as the etiquette class! It's the concubine! The concubine wants to summon you!"

The concubine suddenly wanted to summon Xiaoyu. This was something that no one thought of. Xiaoyu herself also felt baffled, so she hurriedly asked:

"The concubine wants to be summoned? Please explain clearly what's going on."

Although the little attendant was in a hurry, when he heard them asking, he had no choice but to explain the matter clearly.It turned out that the concubine had been ill before, and when she heard about Bai Ruxie, she was hit hard and her health has not been good.The lord of the Biansheng Kingdom ordered her to reflect in the West Palace, and did not allow the wives and noble daughters of the White Fox Clan to visit, making her very lonely.In the past few days, her condition has improved slightly, and she suddenly remembered that she still has such a daughter in name.Calling her to have an audience at this moment, I'm afraid there is no real matter, probably just to entertain and relieve boredom.

Xiaoyu had only met the concubine once when she first entered the palace. She said it was a meeting, but in fact it was just a distant bow. It was just a formality, and she didn't even see the concubine's face clearly.This time we have to meet, but we actually have to meet and talk.When Xiaoyu thought of talking to an unfamiliar elder like the concubine, she felt very embarrassed, but the concubine was her nominal mother now, even if she was unwilling, she had no choice but to stand up slowly and prepare to join the little attendant past.

She didn't want to hear Ren Zhen say from behind just as she took a step:

"I'll go with you."

Xiaoyu blinked, looked at Ren Xun and then at the little attendant.The attendant was also considered clever, and quickly said:

"Mr. Ren is willing to go with you. That would be great. When the little princess goes in to talk to the concubine, Mr. Ren can drink tea outside."

Seeing that Ren Xun was willing to go with her, Xiaoyu felt that it was easier to accept it.Go to the West Palace with the little attendant.Ren Zhen winked at Gu Xunzhi and followed behind them.

The royal palace of Qingqiu Kingdom is not that big, even though it was from east to west, it didn't take long.The little attendant led them to the front of the West Palace, and another maid from the West Palace came out to greet them.Seeing Ren Zhen coming with Xiaoyu, she was slightly taken aback, but she didn't say much, and led them directly to the main hall of the West Palace.

In front of the main hall, two more maids of higher rank came over.There are few men here, and the two of them were surprised when they saw Ren Sha.Xiaoyu had seen these two maids when she came to have an audience last time, seeing them surprised at this time, she said:

"This one is the lord's distinguished guest, Young Master Ren, the one who brought me to Qingqiu Kingdom. He heard that the concubine is getting better recently, and he also wants to come to see the concubine, so he followed me this time. "

When the two maids heard the words, they saluted quickly and said:

"In this case, please ask Mr. Ren to go to the side hall to rest first, and we can talk about it after the little princess sees the concubine."

Ren Sha didn't say much, just nodded.The two maids separated, one led Ren Xun to the side hall, and the other took Xiaoyu forward, but instead of going to the main hall where she had been last time, she went to a bedroom behind.In front of the sleeping palace, the concubine's personal servant girl came to lead Xiaoyu in, and then she came in front of the concubine's eyes.

At this time, the concubine was wearing a loose casual dress and was leaning on the beauty couch.Xiaoyu followed the method she had learned in the etiquette class before, and bowed to the concubine, and the concubine watched her seat.Wait until these tedious exchanges and etiquette are over.The concubine ordered her to look up, and Xiaoyu finally saw the concubine's appearance clearly.

The appearance of the toffee is not very similar to that of the king. Although she is already old, she does not look old, but she is still very beautiful and has a graceful demeanor.However, her face was too pale, her body looked thin, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was no smile on her lips.A very unsatisfactory look.

Seeing Xiaoyu now, she seemed to smile a little from the corner of her lips in order to appear kind, but this smile didn't last long, and soon disappeared without a trace.Xiaoyu is most afraid of seeing such a person. Although she looks calm on the surface, she can't help trembling in her heart.

Just listen to the concubine say:

"There is nothing else to see you today. I just want to see you because I think you are my daughter. Now the king does not allow the wives and daughters of the White Fox clan to enter the palace. The palace is deserted. There is not even anyone who can talk. Although you are not from Qingqiu country, you are also a white fox, and you are considered to be of the same family as me, so you should be closer."

Xiaoyu didn't understand what he meant, so he could only bow his head and say yes.The concubine held her hand, took off a jade bracelet from her hand and put it on her wrist, and said with a smile:

"I heard that you lost the inner alchemy before, and your health is not good. Although this bracelet is not made of serious spirit stones, it is also a high-quality jadeite. The aura is more stable. You can warm and nourish your body when you wear it, which is better than spirit stones. The bracelet is fine."

Xiaoyu got the bracelet and quickly thanked the concubine for the reward.The concubine shook her head and said:

"No need to be like this. Speaking of today, I suddenly called you over, you must be puzzled. In fact, it is nothing, but I am lonely in my heart, so I invite you to accompany me to pass the time. The loneliness in this deep palace can only be felt when you are in it. Only those who know me can understand. My parents died young, and although the king was my own, he was raised by the elders, and he was not close to me at all. There was only one younger brother who was considered a relative, but he died a few days ago. Although you were not born to me, After all, they have the names of mother and daughter, and since then they were trapped in this deep palace together, and they became acquainted in the future, and they can be regarded as a comfort to each other."

Xiaoyu shuddered when she heard the concubine say this.When I think about my decision again, I feel extremely correct.She looked at the concubine in front of her again, and it was inevitable that she felt pity in her heart, thinking that if she wanted to find him to accompany her, she might fail in the end.

She thought so in her heart, but dared not say it.Just smile and nod.Concubine Toffee seemed to feel bored in the face of such a person who didn't answer much, and a tired look soon appeared on her face.At this time, the concubine's personal maid came again and whispered a few words in her ear.

The concubine's face changed slightly, she seemed to think about it for a while, and finally said:

"Let him in."

The author has something to say: the next chapter the day after tomorrow~~~
