Jiuli Meixiang

The light poured gently on his shoulders.Jiu'er had just watched the martial arts contest and was in a good mood. When she heard that she was going to see the Empress Dowager, she jumped up and down beside Mei Changsu.But she soon discovered that his expression was very strange, and even his whole body seemed thinner, as if some invisible weight suddenly weighed on her body, which could not be lifted or supported.

Jiu'er stretched out her little finger, hooked one of his hands over and held it in the palm of her hand with a smile, raised her face, looked into his eyes carefully and asked, "Is it warm?"

Her hands are always warm, Mei Changsu already knows, just like her.He stroked the top of her hair with his other free hand, and replied, "It's very warm."

Jiu'er tiptoed, leaned close to his ear mysteriously and said, "Brother Su, I still have the most powerful poison that I haven't told you!"

Mei Changsu turned to look at her.

The bright eyes flickered: "It's the poison made by the grand master. When I was out of the valley...uh~...'borrowed' a little..." At this point, he glanced at him.

Mei Changsu hooked the corners of his lips.

Jiu'er continued: "Senior Brother Eighth said that this poison is refined from the morning dew collected from all the poisonous flowers in the Immortal Valley. , those who are poisoned will immediately hold their breath and die unconsciously." Jiu'er slowly glanced around at the palace servants and guards who were standing around, and said quietly, "The name is Lihun. "

Mei Changsu's grip on her tightened instantly. He stopped in front of the steps, pulled her to him, looked at the little girl's stubborn eyes, and sighed, "Jiu'er, be good, brother Su is not It's difficult, and I don't want to see the Empress Dowager, but... you just need to remember that the old lady we are going to meet is the most kind person in the world. You and Fei Liu must be obedient, don't contradict, be obedient, know ?"

Jiu'er looked at him, as if to make sure what he said was true.After a while, he finally nodded slightly.

Mei Changsu knew that Jiu'er didn't have ordinary people's concept of right and wrong, good and evil, and his behavior in the past probably depended more on personal likes and dislikes.Now he is the first in everything.That's fine, at least there is still a concern about moderation.

Walking into the warm pavilion of the Empress Dowager, Jiu'er saw a gray-haired old woman sitting in the middle, and as soon as they entered, a pair of gentle eyes kept looking at her.

She bowed with everyone, and the old lady smiled kindly and asked everyone to stand up.

Her attention had been on Mei Changsu since just now. He stood there, looking the same as usual, but for some reason, Jiu'er felt as if she had been pricked in the heart by Brother Eighth's Xueyue silver needle. It suddenly became cold and painful.She suddenly remembered the pup wolf she had rescued in Fairy Valley when she was a child.

After falling off a cliff and meeting Mei Changsu, Jiu'er, who hated climbing mountains the most, has since then often climbed up the Immortal Finger alone, and then sits on the top of the mountain, slowly counting the time until he grows up and can leave the valley.That little wolf with snow-white fur was what she met when she was climbing a mountain.At that time, she didn't know that the wolf cub, which lowered its head and tried to pretend nothing had happened, was actually injured. She poisoned it neatly, and only found the blood stains on its hind legs when it got closer. And a broken rib.

Jiu'er felt that Mei Changsu, now wrapped in a gray robe, was a small animal hiding its wounds.She wanted to poison him too and take her home.

At this time Xiao Jingrui had already stepped forward to pay respects.

The Empress Dowager looked at him and asked, "Xiao Rui, are you married?"

Xiao Jingrui was stunned for a moment, and said, "...not yet."

"Hurry up!"

"……Yes"

It was Yan Yujin's turn.

"Ozu, are you married?"

But he wanted to play a prank, and replied: "Uh... married!"

"Okay! Well, well..." The Empress Dowager said hello several times in a row, and then asked, "Do you have any children?"

The person who was asked was stunned for a moment: "...not yet?"

"Hurry up!"

"……Yes."

After all the questions were finished, the Empress Dowager turned her gaze to Mei Changsu who was standing quietly.Jiu'er walked forward following his footsteps, and heard the old lady sitting above suddenly call out: "Xiaoshu."

For a while, the expressions of everyone in the room changed several times.

The Empress Dowager had already held Mei Changsu's hand, and gave him a snack, and said lovingly, "Eat it, this is your favorite."

In a blink of an eye, she saw Princess Nihuang who was standing at the side again, and she also called to her, holding onto their hands and asking, "When will you two get married?"

However, a small snow-white hand blocked the hands of the Empress Dowager who was about to overlap the two of them.No one saw, this pair of thin white hands paused on the bag on the waist, hesitated for a moment, and then took it back unwillingly.

Jiu'er snatched Mei Changsu Weiliang's hand away, smiled on his face with crooked eyes, and said seriously: "Mother-in-law, brother Su is mine, he will only marry me, no one else!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared with a confused face, and asked, "Whose family are you from?"

Jiu'er squeezed and squeezed, squeezed between Mei Changsu and Nihuang, separating them, then looked at the old woman with big eyes and replied, "My name is Jiu'er!"

Such behavior is of course against the rules in the inner court of the imperial palace, but the empress and concubine Yue who accompanied her were eager to win over Mei Changsu, so it was naturally impossible to yell at him at this time.

The empress dowager was still confused: "Jiu'er?...Jiu'er?...Are you married?"

Jiu'er stretched out the hand she held with Mei Changsu to the old woman: "I'm not married yet, but I will in the future, and I will marry Brother Su!"

"Xiaoshu?"

"Yeah!" Jiu'er nodded loudly.

The Empress Dowager was even more confused, muttering to herself: "Have you already engaged in marriage..."

When Yan Yujin and Xiao Jingrui walked out, Jiu'er was still holding Mei Changsu's hand.She swore that if Mei Changsu asked her to let go now, she would definitely do something.Fortunately, Mei Changsu didn't ask for that.

Mei Changsu let Jiu'er hold his hand because he knew him as a little girl, but it was obvious that not everyone knew.So, when the voice came from behind: "Mr. Su, please stay.", Mei Changsu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was going to be bad.

He turned around, without showing any emotion on his face, and said salutely, "What is the princess' order?"

Princess Nihuang said: "The warm pavilion is really too stuffy, it's not suitable for a soldier like me. The autumn wind is cool, if Mr. Su doesn't mind, can you walk with me?"

Jiu'er didn't speak, she didn't even look at the princess, because what she looks like, beautiful or not, doesn't matter, what matters is what she wants to do now.

This time, those thin white hands reached for the bag at his waist without hesitation!

Mei Changsu pressed her hand quickly, pulled her over, and said apologetically, "Young girl, you must watch the next competition. I hope the princess will forgive me, Su can't accompany me."

Nihuang looked at him for a moment, then said after a while: "Mr. Su, please go ahead."

Mei Changsu pulled Jiu'er around and walked down the steps.

In the stands of the brocade shed in the martial arts field of Yingfeng Tower.

Mu Qing, the young prince of Mufu in Yunnan, frowned in surprise and said, "A scholar?"

A soldier replied: "Yes."

"You mean, a scholar rejected my sister's invitation?"

"It seems so. The subordinate is far away, and only vaguely heard the princess' invitation, but that Mr. Su said something, and then left."

Mu Qing frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Wei."

Another soldier responded: "Yes!"

"Before this man leaves, you go and find out his truth." Mu Qing ordered, "I heard that scholars are the best at deceiving people with the trick of 'playing hard to get'. It's not that easy to deceive my sister. !"

……

The sun had turned to the west, and Jiu'er was walking on Mei Changsu's right, just out of his faint shadow.

Mei Changsu looked at the little girl who was having fun chasing his shadow beside him, and didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.Since he appeared in Yingfeng Tower today, the prince and Yuwang's show of friendship was within his expectation, but the empress dowager and Nihuang... was very sudden.But which day is not sudden?He didn't know if he was ready to face them, or if he never would be.

Even Jiu'er could see his strangeness, the little girl wanted to take him away at any cost without any consideration, and that "departed soul" made him have to devote part of his attention to her all the time, not even much. Time laments that the dust and fragrance are exhausted, and things are changing.

"Why does Jiu'er want to poison Princess Nihuang?" Mei Changsu asked.

"My master said, if someone misses her man, then give her the best 'Chiba lotus'."

Jiu'er held his hand in front of her eyes, tilted her head and looked at the sun hanging in the sky through her fingers.Warm, not too glaring.For the first time, she smelled the sunshine with a clear and cold fragrance.

Qianyelian?Mei Changsu basically already knew that the product produced by Immortal Valley, the more pleasant the name, the more poisonous it is.

But Jiu'er smiled slyly: "But I won't give her 'Qianyelian'! I will give her 'Five-colored Plum'. It will take five days before the poison will be released, so I won't bring any trouble to Brother Su!"

Really well-intentioned.Mei Changsu sighed.

Suddenly, Jiu'er's eyes darkened, and the light leaking through the fingers disappeared—it was Mei Changsu who closed his fingers.

"Your bell is ringing." He said calmly.

Um?Jiu'er listened quietly, sure enough.She stopped, but the sound of "Dinglingling..." still kept ringing.Jiu'er kicked his feet, wrinkled his nose and said, "Senior Brother Eight must be missing me again!" No one let him bully him, so he must be bored again.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Mei Changsu's thumb covering the back of her hand slowly groped her skin unconsciously, Jiu'er couldn't bear it, and laughed out loud,
