In addition to the daughter of Li Sixi, Concubine Yi also has a son, Li Xiuting, who is two years older than Li Sixi and the second prince of the Tang Dynasty. Concubine Yi can become a noble concubine because she gave birth to Li Xiuting.
Although everyone knows that the prince is very important to the emperor, in the royal family, who doesn't want to sit on the dragon chair that symbolizes supreme power?
Li Xiuting's status is high, and his family is also powerful, so he naturally wants to replace the prince and become the next emperor!
In order to make the relationship between Li Xiuting and the Yi family closer, Yi Lanting is the prince and concubine trained by the Yi family for Li Xiuting!
Thanks to the efforts of the Yi family and the concubine Yi, the emperor also agreed to this marriage and betrothed to the two, but the prince, as the eldest son, had not yet been married, and Li Xiuting could not be married as a disciple, and Yilan Ting could not become the prince and concubine. .
Li Sixi has liked Yilan Ting since she was a child. She feels that Yilan Ting is the best woman in the world besides her mother and concubine. She is very satisfied with the marriage between Li Xiu Ting and Yi Lan Ting.
Yesterday, Concubine Yi said that Yilanting should come to the palace. Li Sixi also specially asked the maid to prepare Yilanting's favorite snacks and spiritual dew. After Yilanting arrived, she hurriedly welcomed Yilanting in and sent her away. Waiting maids.
"Cousin, fortunately you are here, otherwise I will die of boredom." Li Sixi and Yi Lan Ting sat on the soft couch, Li Si Xi took Yi Lan Ting's hand to act like a baby.
"You, how could you be banned by His Royal Highness?" Yilan Ting didn't know why Li Sixi was banned, so she couldn't help asking curiously and caringly.
"Yesterday I took Qi Hui and the others to hunt. When I came back, I ran a horse in the street. I accidentally bumped into some people and was almost injured. Originally, I was going to arrest all those people. Who knew there was the young master of the Zhuo family. We had a dispute with the granddaughter of the Yun Family Patriarch’s favorite, and the second prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just as the prince and elder brother rushed over, I banned me." Li Sixi sullenly explained what happened yesterday. .
Li Sixi’s words made Yilanting a little surprised. She didn’t expect Li Sixi to be so unlucky. None of these people could offend her casually. She was offended. No wonder the prince would ban her. That's enough, this is also a kind of protection for her, otherwise the few people will be held accountable, and Li Sixi's consequences will only be worse.
"You, how old you are, and you are still riding on the street. This time it was met by His Royal Highness. If you are told by those stubborn veterans before your Majesty, you will suffer." Yilan Ting looked at Li Sixi said helplessly.
"Okay, I know, I won't be here, cousin, don't talk about it, it's too disappointing." Li Sixi pouted, obviously not wanting to mention it more, "I heard that my brother gave it away. My cousin, you have a particularly beautiful dress. Why didn’t my cousin show it to me today?"
"Who did you listen to?" When mentioning Li Xiuting, Yilan Ting's face was suddenly stained red, and she asked embarrassedly.
"Just leave it alone, tell me, are the clothes really good-looking?" Seeing Yilanting blushing, Li Sixi immediately showed a bad smile, clutching Yilanting's sleeve and asked Tao.
"Naturally it looks good." Yilan Ting was even more embarrassed, the blush on her face even worse.
"That's good, after two days of Father's birthday, cousin, you will wear that skirt, you can definitely compare others, especially Zuo Yiyi!" Li Sixi said with a slight arrogance.
Hearing Zuo Yiyi's name, the corners of Yilanting's lips stiffened slightly, her eyes flashed, and she nodded, "Don't worry, I will."
Zuo Yiyi is the daughter of Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites. She is about the same age as Yi Lan Ting, and looks slightly inferior to Yi Lan Ting. Unlike Yi Lan Ting’s generous and dignified, Zuo Yiyi prefers to do whatever she wants, while Zuo Yiyi likes Li Xiuting’s piece. The whole Shangjing City knew that if Yilanting and Li Xiuting hadn't made a long-term engagement, I'm afraid Zuo Yiyi would ask the emperor to let her marry Li Xiuting!
Because of this, Zuo Yiyi is a very annoying person both Li Sixi and Yilanting, but Zuo Yiyi's identity and brain are not bad, they can only use this method to suppress Zuo Yiyi.
Yilanting sat with Li Sixi all morning. At noon, she was pronounced away by Concubine Yi, and went to accompany her for lunch. After Yilanting left, Li Sixi was left in the bedroom. Li Sixi was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, her expression suddenly distorted, a faint black air appeared on her face, but she herself did not notice it.
...
Gu Qing and the others did not stroll in the upper capital, but went to Qingyan Lake outside the city.
Qingyan Lake is a very famous lake in Shangjing. It is about thirty miles away from Shangjing. It can be reached in about a quarter of an hour at the speed of Tianlin Horse.
It has a large area, and there is a peach blossom forest next to it. Many people like to come here because of this peach blossom forest. The peach blossoms here are open all year round, and they are very beautiful when they are in full bloom.
According to legend, Qingyan Lake here was just a small lake ten thousand years ago. Later, a fairy fell from the upper boundary to Qingyan Lake due to injury and lived in seclusion here. Later, he met his Taoist couple, because Taoist couples like peach blossoms. , He was caught in a peach blossom forest. Later, the Taoist couple passed away. He placed the Taoist couple’s coffin at the bottom of Qingyan Lake. With the expansion of the area, the Qingyan Lake of today was created.
[Then has anyone been to the bottom of the lake, is there a coffin inside? After listening to Zhuo Tingqiu's account, Gu gently blinked his big eyes and asked curiously.
"Of course there is. I don’t know how many people want to go to the bottom of the lake to find the coffin over the past ten thousand years, because the legend has it that the immortal put a lot of funerals in the coffin of his Taoist couple. Those people want to get those things, but it’s a pity No one can really reach the bottom of the lake. There are formations at the bottom of the lake. No matter how hard they work, they will be teleported back to the lake." Zhuo Tingqiu shrugged and said with some regret.
Hearing this, Gu Qing also shook his head regretfully.
"If you want to take a look, I can go and take a look." Seeing Gu Qing's disappointment, Nan Hua said quickly, putting away the fan in his hand.
[No, brother, I don’t want those treasures, so I don’t want to disturb others’ rest in peace. 】Gu shook her head slightly. She was lost only because of curiosity about the things inside, but if she was really let down, she would not. If there really is a coffin of a fairy and Taoist companion at the bottom of the lake, they would just break in. Disturb other people's rest?
"Well, if you want to go, tell your brother." Nan Hua touched Gu's head gently, and said indulgently.
Gu nodded gently.
The carriage had reached the end, they got out of the carriage and let Tian Linma go to rest by himself.
When you turn your head, you can see the thick peach blossom trees where you can see. It shouldn't be the season of peach blossoms at this time, but the peach blossom trees here are full of peach blossoms, which look very beautiful!
Beautiful scenery always makes people feel better, and Gu Qing and the others are no exception at this time. A group of people walked under the peach blossom tree together. They were about to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but they heard the quarrel next to them.
Following the voice, I was a little surprised to see that Zhou Qing was arguing with a woman.
...
Zhou Qing also heard others say that the scenery of Qingyan Lake was very good, so she came to enjoy the scenery with her good mates. She didn't expect to run into her rival Jiang Yingshi just after staying for a while.
Jiang Yingshi is the granddaughter of Wanqingmen Grand Elder Jiang Shichang. Jiang Shichang has a good relationship with her master, and they talk about Taoism every other year. Either Jiang Shichang comes to Shangyangzong or her master goes to Wanqingmen. This also leads to The two of them have known each other since childhood.
The two were of the same age and grew up together. They should have become good friends. However, the two of them have disagreements, and instead of becoming good friends, they have become rivals.
Every time they meet, the two people have to fight, and then it develops into a fight. If the relationship is not good, it can be said that the two sects know it.
It was the same today. She and her junior sister were standing there watching Peach Blossom. Jiang Yingshi also ran over, saying that this place was occupied by her and asked them to move away. Of course she couldn't bear it and quarreled directly with Jiang Yingshi.
"Zhou Qing, let me tell you, this place I like, it's mine, you quickly let me go!" Jiang Yingshi looked at Zhou Qing, raised her head, and said domineeringly.
"What made you fancy? Is this your house? You said you let me go? You have a problem with your brain?" Zhou Qing was not used to Jiang Yingshi's problem, and opened her mouth.
"Then this is not your home, what happened when I asked you to let it go? You said to let it go?" Angrily by Zhou Qing, Jiang Yingshi didn't look good, with her hands wrapped around her chest, looking at Zhou Qing. Asked coldly.
"No, I won't let you do anything to me?" Zhou Qing also put her hands on her chest, raised her head, and stared at Jiang Yingshi.
"That's fine, come and fight, whoever loses will leave!" Jiang Yingshi directly showed her sword, pointed it at Zhou Qing, and said.
"Okay, come on, who is afraid of whom!" Zhou Qing also pointed at Jiang Yingshi with his sword, and refused to admit defeat.
The two looked at each other, lightning flashed in their eyes, and then they moved at the same time.
Both Jiang Yingshi and Zhou Qing are disciples with better talents in their respective sects, and their cultivation bases are similar. They are both at the top of Tier 5. As soon as they shoot, the surrounding peach blossoms are shaken to the ground by their sword aura. .
Over the years, the two have fought countless times, and they were as familiar with each other's moves as their own. For a while, they were hard to separate and the scene was very intense.
Whether it is the people from Wanqingmen who followed Jiang Yingshi or the Shangyangzong who followed Zhou Qing, they know the relationship between the two people very well. When they first saw the two fighting, they would still dissuade them. Now they Just give up the place, stand aside, licking melon seeds, watching the two fight, and even comment.
"Senior Sister Zhou's move was great. I always felt wrong when I practiced before, but now I finally understand." The junior sister who came with Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Qing's moves with bright eyes and said.
