Don’t Show the Son

When Lin Xiu saw Xue Ning'er again, her strength had already reached the upper level of the Xuan rank.

Eighteen-year-old Xuan-rank upper-level talent is not bad, but it is still not comparable to Lingyin and the others.

Lin Xiu once asked Xue Ning'er, she said that her ability was awakened when she was seven years old, just like Lingyin, except for Lin Xiu's accident, the age when the ability first awakened is closely related to the talent.

The sooner the ability is awakened, the higher the talent.

It stands to reason that Xue Ning'er's talent is not much different from Lingyin's, but Lingyin entered the upper realm of the Xuan rank at the age of fourteen, but she was four years late. Although there is an important reason that ice is better than flying, but Xue Ning'er didn't practice well before, and she specialized in tea art, which was also one of the reasons why she lagged behind Lingyin and Princess Minghe.

Her breakthrough this time was not based on penance, but on Yuan Jing.

Xue Ning'er's strength had already reached the bottleneck of the third and fourth ranks. After she decided to practice hard, the Xue family bought a few fourth-order Yuanjing for her, and Xue Ning'er was able to break through.

After all, it is the top dignitaries, and tens of thousands of words of silver are nothing to them. Lin Xiu is different. He has not yet paid off his debts to Li Baizhang.

Last time Xue Ning'er said that she should practice hard, Lin Xiu thought she was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that she was serious.

Because the enemy was too strong, Lin Xiu practiced very hard, but Xue Ning'er was also able to endure hardships. She practiced swordsmanship for an hour in the school grounds, and only took a short rest before starting to practice strange arts again.

She carried a meteorite and slowly flew into the sky. The meteorite was not big, but it weighed hundreds of catties.

With Lin Xiu's current strength, there is no way to fly with such a heavy meteorite.

If Xue Ning'er awakened again, she would be able to make the meteor fly away without physical contact. At that time, her ability would become very powerful and difficult to deal with.

Lin Xiu had already imagined the scene of her standing in the distance, fighting with a sword in the air.

She is currently playing with a ready-made meteorite. I don't know if she can lure down the meteorite from space when she is more powerful.

Lin Xiu practiced at the Martial Arts Academy for two hours, and Xue Ning'er also accompanied him to practice for two hours.

When they went back, the two naturally went back together.

In the past, Xue Ning'er was always surrounded by countless people. In fact, when she came to Martial Arts Academy, many people also approached her, but Xue Ning'er never pretended to them. As time passed, there were no mad bees and butterflies to harass her.

The little green tea from before has completely disappeared.

After walking out of the palace, Xue Ning'er asked Lin Xiu, "Do you want to go home?"

Lin Xiu originally planned to go to Caiyi's place to listen to the music and relax, but seeing Xue Ning'er's appearance, it seemed that she planned to follow him, so Lin Xiu changed her mind.

Although he and them were still just friends, it was obvious that Xue Ning'er and Caiyi were not suitable to meet each other.

Only a fool would take her to Caiyi's place.

So Lin Xiu said: "I'm not going back, I'm going to have dinner."

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy on the body, which causes him to eat a lot. It's not time for the Lin family's dinner yet, so he wants to pamper himself outside.

It just so happened that he missed the noodles from that noodle shop.

Just like the imperial concubine likes the food of that small Jiangnan restaurant, Lin Xiu has been here for a long time, and Lin Xiu also misses the taste of her hometown. Of course, the imperial concubine can still eat hometown dishes, but Lin Xiu's wish will never come true. You can only lower your requirements and talk about comfort.

Xue Ning'er also followed Lin Xiu. These days, whenever she had the opportunity, she would follow Lin Xiu. Wherever Lin Xiu went, she would go.

Sometimes when she thinks about it by herself, she also finds it funny. In the past, others followed her, so why should she surround others? At that time, Xue Ning'er never thought that she would have such a day.

Is this retribution?

However, even if this is retribution, she is willing.

Zhao Lingjun will be back soon, and the days she can be with Lin Xiu will be lost every day. She doesn't want to miss even a quarter of an hour, even if Lin Xiu will be bored by it.

Soon, Lin Xiu and Xue Ning'er came to the noodle restaurant in Dongcheng.

Xue Ning'er originally thought that the place where Lin Xiu ate was in a big restaurant like Moon Moon Building and Tianxiang Building, but she didn't expect him to come to such a small street shop.

Xue Ning'er had never eaten at such a place, and she had never even been here.

But seeing Lin Xiu walk in, she followed without hesitation.

Lin Xiu didn't want Xue Ning'er to come with her at first, but she didn't listen to Lin Xiu at all. She even said that the food at home was not good and she wanted to eat with him. Lin Xiu had nothing to do with her.

He walked into the noodle shop and said to the boss, "Come here for a bowl of noodles."

Xue Ning'er sat opposite him and said, "Two bowls."

Seeing Lin Xiu looking at her in surprise, Xue Ning'er asked, "Why, can it be that only you can eat the noodles here?"

It's not that Lin Xiu is the only one who can eat it, but he thinks that Xue Ning'er can walk here, it's not easy, it's unlikely that she will eat the food from this street stall, even Lingyin won't eat here with Lin Xiu .

With so many dignitaries in the capital, only Qin Wan and Lin Xiu are different.

The owner of the noodle shop quickly served two bowls of noodles. Lin Xiu noticed that Xue Ning'er's bowls had more meat than his, no, not some, but twice as much.

This bastard boss, thanks to him taking care of his business so many times, is actually not worth Xue Ning'er's face. The chopsticks given to him are old, and Xue Ning'er's chopsticks are a pair of brand new bamboo chopsticks.

Lin Xiu condensed a pair of ice chopsticks by herself, and ate the noodles with her head down. Xue Ning'er was still a little hesitant, but seeing Lin Xiu's food was so delicious, she tried to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles, and put them into the small mouth of the cherry. As soon as it lit up, I couldn't help but said: "This noodle is delicious..."

Speaking of it, a girl like Xue Ning'er is actually quite suitable for life. She can share wealth and adversity. She can put up her airs and eat delicacies from mountains and seas that cost dozens of taels of silver for a meal, or she can put down her figure and sit with him on the street. It's not easy to find this kind of girl in a side shop where you can eat a bowl of beef noodles for a few pennies.

Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't speak, Xue Ning'er seemed to be thinking, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Lin Xiudao: "I was thinking, a girl like you is actually quite suitable for life."

The relationship between him and Xue Ning'er is actually very difficult to define, let's say they are friends, he considers Xue Ning'er as a friend, but Xue Ning'er obviously does not regard him as a friend, her thoughts are all written on her face, and she doesn't even bother to hide it.

Let's say they are lovers or lovers, obviously it doesn't count.

This kind of relationship is very strange, he knows that Xue Ning'er likes him, and also knows that it is impossible for two people, similarly, Xue Ning'er also knows that it is impossible for them, but she still clings to him.

This kind of relationship allowed Lin Xiu to open up with her and say whatever they wanted without having to worry too much.

Xue Ning'er looked resentful and said, "Then you won't live with me either."

Lin Xiu didn't speak again, Xue Ning'er suddenly asked again: "If you had a choice, between me and Zhao Lingjun, who would you choose?"

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "There is no choice."

Xue Ning'er sighed, it was precisely because she knew that there was no choice, that's why she wanted to seek some comfort from "if".

She shook her head, erased Zhao Lingjun's figure from her mind, and asked again: "Then if it's me and Qin Wan, who would you choose?"

Xue Ning'er and Qin Wan, who would he choose?

This question is very strange.

If it was possible, why would he choose it?

A woman like Qin Wan exudes a kind of charm from the inside out. A normal man, who wouldn't want to hold her in his arms and do something happy?

As for Xue Ning'er, a girl whose eyes are all about her, if she can be with her, Lin Xiu will spoil her so much that she can't be found.

Unfortunately, there is no such option.

Let alone two, he couldn't choose either.

So Lin Xiu didn't answer Xue Ning'er's question, but concentrated on eating his noodles. At this moment, a woman's voice came from a table in the noodle shop.

"Miss Ning'er wants to compete with Miss Zhao, it's your own business, please don't bring me along."

It was time to eat, and there were many customers in the small restaurant. Neither Lin Xiu nor Xue Ning'er noticed that there was a woman sitting at the innermost table.

The customers of this noodle restaurant were also surprised. What happened today? In this small noodle restaurant by the street, two beauties of this level appeared at the same time.

The one inside has been seen before.

It was the first time seeing this beautiful new girl.

Xue Ning'er did not expect to meet Qin Wan here, she glanced at Qin Wan, then at Lin Xiu, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Is it a coincidence?

Or premeditated?

Neither Lin Xiu nor Qin Wan seemed like someone who would eat in this kind of place, but they appeared in the same noodle shop, it was hard for Xue Ning'er not to think of something.

Could it be that Lin Xiu has followed Qin Wan's way?

Soon, Xue Ning'er dispelled this suspicion.

Because Lin Xiu and Qin Wan just nodded at each other as a greeting, and didn't say a word after that, and when she and Lin Xiu left the noodle shop, Lin Xiu only paid for the two of them.

The two were walking on the street, Xue Ning'er couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you pay Qin Wan's face money together, it's only a few pennies."

Lin Xiu glanced at her and said, "Isn't a few pennies money? My relationship with her has not reached that level yet."

Lin Xiu is very realistic.

He is different from those licking dogs surrounding Xue Ning'er and Qin Wan.

There are no good results for licking a dog.

When a girl gets wet on a rainy day, lending her my umbrella is the demeanor a man should have.

Lin Xiu has never done this kind of thing to pay for a woman who has nothing to do with her for no reason, unless this woman wants to do something else with him next.

Or is it a waste of money...

After leaving the noodle shop, Lin Xiu took Xue Ning'er home by the way.

On the way, the two met Chen Yuanyuan.

The woman who weighed three hundred catties and who once wanted to use one thousand taels of silver to make Lin Xiu betray her dignity was replaced by a man with a thick arm.

Because of taking her order, Lin Xiu had a lot of psychological shadow on the secret investigation industry.

After the restaurant with Li Baizhang opened, he asked Caiyi to remove the spy signboard overnight.

Chen Yuanyuan saw Lin Xiu, and of course Xue Ning'er beside him.

She knew Xue Ning'er, the daughter of Duke Xue's mansion. She was very famous since she was a child.

No wonder he rejected her at the beginning, it turned out that he really found this kind of top quality.

Hey... This world is really unfair. God gave her a prominent family background, a nearly perfect appearance and figure, and gave her such a good man.

The man on Chen Yuanyuan's arm was very gorgeously dressed, but he was not energetic.

He watched Lin Xiu and Xue Ning'er walk in front of him, a tear rolled down silently in his dull eyes.

Seeing Chen Yuanyuan, Xue Ning'er thought of Song Yuzhi, and then remembered that if it wasn't for the imperial concubine, she might have been kicked out of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that night.

She turned to look at Lin Xiu and asked, "Are you familiar with the imperial concubine? Why can you enter the harem casually? If it wasn't for you last time, the imperial concubine would not have helped me..."

Lin Xiudao: "I used to make ice in the imperial palace, and the imperial concubine I met later happened to cure her spiritual pet's illness. His Majesty specially allowed me to enter the harem to take care of the empress's spiritual pet."

It is said to take care of the spiritual pet, but in fact, the little guy is alive and kicking now, eating three meals a day according to his own preferences, and the one who needs Lin Xiu to take care of is the imperial concubine.

Xue Ning'er said: "Your Majesty seems to like you very much. Just because she saw the earrings you gave me, she came forward to help me out, and she even didn't hesitate to deceive the Empress Dowager..."

It is right for the imperial concubine to like him, it is strange if she doesn't like him.

These days, Lin Xiu has tried to make her happy in different ways. His Majesty has not visited Changchun Palace as many times as him. If he had spent half of his mind on pleasing the imperial concubine and empress on Xue Ning'er, her flying ability would have been acquired long ago. Well, if it's any more scumbag, the daughter of Duke Xue's mansion should be raising her baby with peace of mind...

Fortunately, she met Lin Xiu, otherwise, with her naivety, she would have to count the money for others after being sold.

Speaking of it, although the imperial concubine is more than ten years older than Xue Ning'er, she is actually no different from a girl in her heart. Lin Xiu has noticed this a long time ago.

Among the four concubines, the queen is dignified and stable, the virtuous concubine is deep-minded, and the concubine Shu is generous, but only the noble concubine, the tigress in the harem, is known to everyone, and it can be said that she acts the most high-profile and unscrupulous one of.

This just shows that she doesn't have much scheming. The harem is a place of right and wrong, which is compared to a forbearance. Rich historical experience shows that in the harem dispute, the one who laughs last is the most dormant and forbearing.

Of course, this problem does not exist for the imperial concubine, she has no heirs, and the harem battle is not her turn. This is also an important reason why she has been independent from the harem battle and has never been affected.

The next day, after the double cultivation with Princess Minghe, Lin Xiu went back to the harem with her by the way.

Walking on the long palace road, Princess Minghe suddenly frowned and sniffed, then looked at Lin Xiu with contempt, and said, "You are a big man, and you still wear a sachet..."

When practicing together just now, Princess Minghe smelled a faint fragrance.

She thought it was the smell of Zhao Lingyin's sachet. This smell was different from all the sachets she had smelled. The other sachets were filled with spices. The aroma was more intense and slightly bitter, but this aroma, It was fresh and pleasant, a sweet fragrance she had never heard before.

Princess Minghe wanted to ask where Zhao Lingyin bought her sachet, but she and Zhao Lingyin had been rivals since childhood, so she couldn't ask such a question.

It wasn't until now, when she and Lin Xiu returned to the harem, that she realized that the scent was actually coming from Lin Xiu.

Sachets are things that only daughters wear. It is really contemptuous for a big man to wear a sachet with him.

After despising Lin Xiu for a while, Princess Minghe couldn't help asking, "Where did you buy your sachet?"

She really likes this light and pleasant scent.

Lin Xiu didn't want to talk to Princess Minghe at first, but in order to avoid being considered a pervert, she took out something from her sleeve and said, "This is not a sachet."

In his hand, a bottle the size of half a palm appeared. The bottle was transparent and seemed to be made of crystal. The bottle contained an amber liquid. As he took the bottle out, the scent became clearer.

Princess Minghe asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "It can be called a perfume. It has the same function as a sachet. Put a drop of the liquid in this bottle on a handkerchief and carry it with you, and the fragrance will last for a long time."

Princess Minghe's eyes lit up, and she only needs to put a drop on the handkerchief to keep the fragrance. This is much more convenient than a sachet, and more importantly, the smell is also good. She couldn't wait to ask: "Where did you come from?" bought?"

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "This item cannot be bought outside."

He also had a whim a few days ago, since he already had distilled wine, why not make perfume out of it.

He didn't think about relying on perfume to make a profit, because the profit of the wine shop was already huge enough for him to accumulate huge wealth. Lin Xiu's focus was on cultivation, not business.

He just felt that the sachets in this world didn't smell very good, and it was very inconvenient to carry them with him, so it was better to make a bottle of perfume and give it to the imperial concubine.

The last time she stood up for Xue Ning'er, Lin Xiu hadn't thanked her well.

Princess Minghe said straightforwardly: "How much is this thing, I bought it."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Sorry, Your Highness, this item is not for sale."

After several failures, he only prepared two bottles, one for his mother and the other for the imperial concubine, not even Lingyin and Xue Ning'er, let alone Princess Minghe.

She is neither his sister-in-law, nor a girl who likes him, nor is she like a noble concubine who defends him everywhere. Why should she give such good things to her?

Princess Minghe looked at Lin Xiu and said angrily, "You are a big man, why do you want such a thing?"

Lin Xiu put away the perfume, shrugged, and said, "I didn't use it myself, I gave it to the imperial concubine, and there is only one bottle of it, so I can only say sorry to Your Highness."

Princess Minghe returned to Ruidong Palace displeased.

It's not that she wants to take his things for nothing, but he has no room for negotiation at all.

There is a noble concubine on the left, and another noble concubine. The noble concubine is not his mother, let alone his wife. Why does this guy care so much about the noble concubine? She eavesdrops on the tree every day, so she naturally knows that Lin Xiu is true to the noble concubine. Well, I go to the Changchun Palace every now and then to make her happy. The tigress rarely had a smile on her face before, but now she likes to smile more and more.

It's okay if she doesn't smile on weekdays, but when she smiles, words like peaches and plums and stars can't describe it. These concubines in the harem immediately become vulgar fans.

Thinking of this, Princess Minghe's face showed anticipation again.

The Empress Dowager said that when she was young, she was 70-80% similar to the imperial concubine. After sixteen years, will she be as beautiful as the imperial concubine?

She suddenly looked forward to growing up.

At this time, in Changchun Palace.

The imperial concubine approached the crystal bottle, sniffed it lightly, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and said: "It smells so fragrant, even better than the scent of the sachet. Tell me quickly, what is this?"

Lin Xiu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hui, this is perfume. It is made of essence and flower petals. It can replace a sachet. Just sprinkle a small drop of perfume on a handkerchief and carry it with you."

Women always like fragrant things, the imperial concubine said: "This... Perfume, do you have any more, I will send a bottle to the Empress Dowager."

Lin Xiu shook her head and said: "Mother Hui, this product is difficult to mix. In the past half a month, I have only mixed two bottles. One bottle is reserved for my mother and the other bottle is given to my mother. If my mother wants to give it to Mrs. Empress Dowager, I'll go back and adjust."

The imperial concubine was surprised and said: "It's so troublesome to make this perfume, so forget it, the empress dowager is old, it's useless to ask for these things, you'd better practice hard, don't always spend your mind on these things... "

That being said, she was very happy in her heart.

Ten years of loneliness and boredom in the deep palace, until Lin Xiu appeared, and the fun in her life gradually increased. In the past ten years, relatives and friends may have long forgotten her, but outside the deep palace , there is still a person who always remembers her...

Lin Xiu was hugging Bai Ling and scratching it, the little guy whimpered, "This princess also wants something fragrant..."

Lin Xiu patted it on the buttocks, and said via voice transmission: "You want to rub it on your mother, and you will become more fragrant. Be content with it, no one else will be able to rub it..."

Today's update is 12,000, because it is more daily, so the number of words is more.
