The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

"So... this is it?" The veins on her forehead were twitching. Aunt Zhong tried her best to show a reserved and gentle smile, and said with a smile, "Girl, are you sure you want to raise it? Then... where did it come from? ? There are women guarding everywhere in the yard, and the girl's room is always being looked after. How did it get in? "

Lu Xiaoqi showed a silly smile and pretended to be stupid, holding her face and smiling: "I don't know either. I saw it in the house as soon as I woke up. I was also surprised. I don't know where it came from. , it’s very strange and inexplicable, but it’s so beautiful, I really want to raise it, would it be fun?”

The white cockroach that Lu Xiaoqi said was very beautiful innocently twisted her neck and glanced at Aunt Zhong, tilted her head and blinked her amber eyes: "Chirp, chirp~" A human being with average luck has no interest at all. Dominated by instinct and not enlightened by his intelligence, White Bird took one look at Nanny Zhong, then looked away with disinterest, and walked around Lu Xiaoqi's room on two thin legs.

Aunt Zhong took a breath and said with some difficulty: "It is indeed strange that this bird suddenly appeared in the girl's room, but it is just a bird with a special appearance, so there should be no problem. However, if the girl wants It’s better to talk to my wife about raising it. After all, this bird is quite big and it would be bad if it scares the people in the backyard.”

"Hmm, then go and say hello to your mother, and report this matter to her." Lu Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, it would be even better if he could legitimately raise the white beetle. She waved the white beetle over. After touching its head, he smiled and said to Grandma Zhong, "I gave it a name. It's called Xiaobai. It's a good name, right?"

Glancing at the white bird with snow-white feathers, Grandma Zhong raised her hand and pressed her forehead, and then she smiled: "It's a very suitable name that makes people understand it at a glance." Immediately afterwards, Grandma Zhong quickly became proficient. Changing the subject and brushing this matter aside, "The girl said before that she wanted to make fans and pencil cases for the master and the two young masters. I wonder how they went?"

"Since I'm going to my mother's courtyard to pay my respects, I'm sure I'll meet my third sister. At the flower viewing party at the Princess Mansion last time, she said she liked the spices in the sachet I wore last time. Aunt Zhong, I What spices were in the sachet before? I want to bring some to Third Sister." Lu Xiaoqi laughed and changed the subject equally skillfully.

Fans, pencil cases, etc., for a handicapped person like her... they should just be blown away by the wind, just pretend she never said those words before. At that time, she was too naive, thinking that she just couldn't get a good connection, but in fact, it was more than that.

The long skirt she was wearing was made of Sichuan brocade and embroidered with hundreds of butterflies and flowers. It was a bit inconvenient to move around. In order to avoid discussing this guilty and embarrassing topic with Aunt Zhong as soon as possible, Lu Xiaoqi directly lifted up the hem of the skirt in an unsightly manner. , Sayazi ran towards the cabinet where various spices and incense were placed: "Yunxiang, come and help me find the spices in the sachet I wore last time."

Note: Yunxiang, one of the personal maids.

"Yes, big girl." Yunxiang came over quickly. She was the maid responsible for managing Sheng Xuanhua's jewelry, spices and other items. She was very handy with these things. But after a while, she found the sachet that Lu Xiaoqi had worn last time. Spices, and then asked, "Girl, if you want to give this spice to the third girl, should you put it in a sachet, or should you just find another box to put some spices in and take it over?"

Lu Xiaoqi waved her hand and said generously: "Don't she like this scent? Why not give her the whole box. Anyway, there are many spices that can be used here." And she didn't particularly like this one. , why not just give it to the little angel Sheng Minghua.

Yun Xiang nodded, stepped forward and picked up the square wooden box containing the spices that Sheng Minghua liked. After carefully closing the lid, she was ready to pack the box to look more like a gift, even if it was just to take it to Sheng Ming. Even if you are gorgeous, you must also be polite.

"...I understand." Seeing Lu Xiaoqi's series of actions, Grandma Zhong still had something unclear. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and finally shook her head with a helpless smile, "From the girl I should have known about the level of tying, the fan and pencil case may be too difficult.”

How should I put it? When the Queen Empress first pointed her to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she thought that the girl she was going to serve was a bad-tempered and difficult person to get along with. But now it seems that although the eldest girl has a somewhat direct temper, she is not difficult to get along with. , although a little stupid, but fortunately he can listen to Jin's advice, which is also very good.

All in all, it is much better than what Grandma Zhong expected at the beginning. She is very satisfied with her current life and has no intention of changing it at all. It would be best if she can join the eldest daughter when she gets married and leave the court with her, and then live in peace and stability. It would be best if you retire and live a prosperous life as a nanny for the rest of your life.

This is much better than staying in the palace all your life and having to rely on the queen to draw the curtain before you can be released from the palace.

"Mommy, I'm afraid all the bedding on the girl's bed needs to be replaced." He Xiang opened the curtain of the inner room and walked out, frowning and said, "There are bird paw prints on it, a lot of dust, and the silk bedding The surface was scratched in many places and there were threads on it, so I’m afraid it won’t be usable.”

Aunt Zhong said yes: "Then replace them all." She glanced at the white bird, which was not locked up, but was pacing in the room obediently, with graceful and light movements, and did not fly wantonly. He ordered, "Find some strong women to give this bird a good bath, and also order someone to make a larger cage."

Glancing suspiciously at the two slender legs of the white bird, Nanny Zhong frowned and said, "It seems that this bird is not like the mynah parrot, who likes to stand on the bird stand. Then just make a cage and lock it up. Don't let it wander around the girl's room at will. It would be bad if it suddenly attacks and hurts someone."

"Chirp~" The white bird tilted its head, not knowing what the future would be like, and bought a cute look again. It has not opened its intelligence and its IQ is not high. It is only as smart as a five or six-year-old child. It knows that it will be with Lu Xiaoqi in the future, but the owner did not tell it what to do specifically, so it does not need to do anything, just eat and drink.

"Eh? Father wants to see me?" After Lu Xiaoqi went to the main courtyard to pay respects to Liu, confessed her intention to raise a white bird and got permission, she returned to her own courtyard, but was told that the original owner's father Sheng Tinghong wanted to see her, which made her blink in surprise.

Speaking of which, she had been temporarily replacing Sheng Xuanhua for such a long time, and the number of times she met the original owner's father... seemed to be only once? Uh, so cold. That's not right, why did she remember that the original owner's father seemed to have never come to the backyard?

Nanny Zhong did not go with Lu Xiaoqi to the main courtyard to meet Liu, but stayed in Lu Xiaoqi's courtyard to deal with other things. She just received a message from Sheng Tinghong: "Miss, don't delay, go to see the master now, I think it seems that the matter is very important."

"Well..." Lu Xiaoqi thought of the scene when she met the original owner's father for the only time, and felt a little scared for some reason. She couldn't help but whispered, "Nanny, please go with me. I'm a little scared. I don't know what my father wants to say to me. I have been very well behaved recently."

Nanny Zhong was a little helpless: "Miss, I think the servant who delivered the message is a little anxious, but his attitude is not timid. Obviously, the master is not angry. He should not let you go to scold you. You don't have to worry so much."

The study is an important place, and Nanny Zhong naturally couldn't follow in, so even if Lu Xiaoqi was so scared that she was almost shaking like a sieve, she still had to go into the study alone.

Trembling into the study, Lu Xiaoqi only glanced at Sheng Tinghong, who was sitting behind the large desk in his official robes, and immediately lowered her head. Strangely, this time she did not feel the same fear as she did the last time she saw him, so Lu Xiaoqi gradually calmed down: "My daughter meets her father."

"Xuan'er, come here." Sheng Tinghong sighed softly, looking at the daughter left by his deceased wife with complicated eyes. He always felt that Xuanhua was not gentle enough, virtuous enough, not smart enough, and always bullied her sister.

However, after inexplicably getting those memories, he felt that even if his eldest daughter had so many shortcomings and such a bad temper, at least her heart was good. Even if she didn't like Sheng Fanghua, she would openly scold her, which was better than using tricks in secret to destroy someone's life with vicious methods.

"Xuanhua, the Queen intends to marry you to the Third Prince." Sheng Tinghong said softly, "The Queen has expressed this intention several times. It is obvious that she really wants to marry you, but your father always thinks that you have a bad temper and are simple and innocent. You may not be able to learn the twists and turns in the palace. You may suffer if you marry into the royal family."

"The royal family is powerful. If you are wronged in the palace, your father will not be able to protect you. Your father has always wanted to find a good in-law for you where you can live comfortably. Therefore, for the Queen's hints and the Third Prince's pleading, your father has been shirking and did not directly agree."

Although he also knew that letting Sheng Xuanhua marry into the royal family would undoubtedly gain more trust and favor from Emperor Yanming, and the connection with the royal family would also be strengthened. It was undoubtedly a good move for the Dingbei Marquisate. However, he couldn't make up his mind to use this daughter to exchange for the glory and wealth of the Marquisate.

Sheng Tinghong felt very guilty about his eldest daughter who lost her mother when she was young and he was busy with official duties and had little time to teach her. He had no doubt about his fatherly love for her, so even though he knew that she would have many benefits if she married the Third Prince and the Dingbei Marquisate, he never agreed to it.

Lu Xiaoqi was suddenly surprised to know that the Queen had long intended to let Sheng Xuanhua marry the Third Prince. She was really surprised and scared. The original owner wanted to marry the Third Prince! But if Sheng Tinghong didn't agree or support it, wouldn't the original owner's wish be ruined?

Nervous and anxious, Lu Xiaoqi's face flushed, and she wanted to shout impulsively: "Sheng Xuanhua is willing to marry the Third Prince!"

Fortunately, Sheng Tinghong sighed and said, "But I have thought it through recently, maybe I should listen to your own ideas. I know that these things should not be told directly to a girl like you, but... you don't have a mother, so it has to be like this."
