Arriving at the Dongxing Gate of the White Jade Palace, Qiao Yun took Shu'er and his entourage out of the carriage, unloaded their swords, and lined up to be interrogated by the palace guards. The twenty or so people in front of them were the two ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites and their relatives.

, followed by the young master and the servants of Prince Jianzhang's palace, and then the heroic general and his family. For a time, outside the White Jade Palace, there was a lot of traffic, ranging from white-haired veterans to those who could hardly speak.

Children of the Qing Dynasty, as well as noble gentlemen and ladies of the Ming Dynasty, entered the White Jade Palace one after another.

The guards respectfully saluted Qiao Yun, the young master of Pingchang Palace. Qiao Yun pointed at Shu'er, Lin Ying, Qingyu, and Yifeng behind him and said to the guards: "The four of them are distinguished guests of my Pingchang Palace.

"

Shu'er handed the invitation to the guard, who carefully checked the seal of Pingchang Palace and asked the four of them to enter their names and residences on the guest list.

Shu'er and Lin Ying wrote "Yan Shu" and "Su Ying" respectively, and noted Pingchang Palace at the end. Qingyu and Yifeng wrote their names truthfully, and they were also counted as people from Pingchang Palace. The guards examined Qiao Yun

He Shuer's sword was returned to them, and the four of them followed Qiao Yun into the White Jade Palace smoothly.

The light gray palace walls and vermilion palace doors are familiar yet unfamiliar. The cornices above the head are lower than Shu'er remembers, and the blue bricks and jade steps under the feet are also smaller than in memory.

She didn't know whether the young ladies around her who were similar to her age had seen them in the White Jade Palace when they were children. She also didn't know whether the palace maids who walked towards them and saluted them respectfully had seen her when they were children.

When she was a child, she thought that the White Jade Palace was the whole world. Walking and stopping from her mother's Jinxiu Garden to Dongxing Gate seemed to take a whole day. At that time, time passed so slowly. Walking to Dongxing Gate, it was like

She has reached the end of the world. But now that she is striding like a meteor, she knows that the White Jade Palace is just a corner deep in her memory.

Outside the White Jade Palace is the prosperous Jade City. Outside the Jade City are the seven counties of the Song Dynasty: Jing'an, Yuxing, Pingchang, Longshun, Yide, Xunfeng, Huicheng and Jianzhang. Among them, Jing'an County,

It was the former Wei State, and most of Jianzhang County, where the Jade Capital was located, was the former Qi State.

In addition to Song, she also visited Chu, Chen, Shu and Zhao.

In addition to the Five Kingdoms of Kyushu, there is also the land of Rong tribe outside Guan where Uncle Zhao Qi used to travel frequently. The little fox Zhuge calmly raised came from Tianmang Mountain outside Guan. It is said that the top of Tianmang Mountain is higher than the Peerless Peak of Xiling.

Be high...

She couldn't help but miss her mother very much. For thirteen years, she had wandered around the nine states and five countries. But her mother had always been confined to this high palace wall, living alone. Would her mother also go to the wedding banquet today? If she met

, should she find a chance to get to know her mother? When should she get to know her brother?

Lin Ying saw Shu'er's uneasiness, gently tugged on her sleeves, and whispered to her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Sister Shu'er, even if no one knows you, or they do.

After seeing you but unwilling to recognize you again, or you recognized them but their expectations were in vain, no matter what, you promised me that after returning to Jade City, you would accompany me to the Chu Kingdom. In the future, even if you are not

The sister of King Song, you can also be the sister of the future King of Chu, the future King of Chu's...

Seeing that Lin Ying suddenly became serious, Shu'er thought that he was holding back some bad idea of ​​teasing others, so she whispered to him: "It's just because you are here that I am worried. The White Jade Palace in the Song Dynasty is not as good as the Ning Palace in the Zhao Kingdom."

He Gong, you are not allowed to make trouble unreasonably!"

Lin Ying's thoughts were interrupted, she looked at Shu'er aggrievedly, and argued: "How have I ever made trouble unreasonably?"

Shu'er lowered his voice even more: "Didn't you hear anyone talking about the old princess of Zhao State in teahouses and restaurants these days? She fell in love with Chen Guoqin's beautiful little cut sleeves? Also, the two brides of King Song were instigated by you.

We have to compete in dancing skills, and you still say you are not making trouble unreasonably?"

Lin Ying laughed out loud and explained in a low voice: "Princess Dugu approached me on purpose. I just gave her a way to get down. You don't know this. As for why she approached me disrespectfully, I

I don’t know, maybe I am getting more and more handsome as I grow older? As for the two brides competing in dancing skills, they must have known that they would marry the King of Song at the same time today. Without my instigation, they might not be competing in dancing skills, but in dancing skills.

He overturned the table and started fighting directly."

Shu'er glanced helplessly at Lin Ying, who was unrepentant, and told her, "You, eat more and talk less! No drinking."

Lin Ying looked around, looking at the sky speechlessly. "Have you ever seen me drunk? It's obvious that you drank yourself to death every time, or danced with demons!"

Shu'er glared at him fiercely. "What is the 'dance of demons'? Mine is a fusion of Wuyi swordsmanship and Xuannv's dance steps!"

Lin Ying made a face at her and said sarcastically: "The famous big devil, the lord of Xiling, dances with two little devils, the concubines of the Song Palace, who have ulterior motives. What do you think this is, if it's not a 'dance of demons'?"

Shu'er turned her head away with a "hum", but couldn't help being amused by Lin Ying.

Lin Ying saw Shu'er smiling in the warm sunshine, and the light gray palace walls glowed with the light of rainbow beads. She felt warm in her heart, as if a hot spring flowed through him, relaxing his whole body. What was he thinking just now, he suddenly

Can't remember.

Shu'er and Lin Ying were bickering as usual, Lin Ying commented every step of the way, and Shu'er asked him not to be rude and talk too much. Qiao Yun politely saluted to the princes and nobles she knew around her, or paid tribute to the court.

The person he saluted returned, and as he walked, he unknowingly arrived at Jinghe Palace.

Shu'er had no impression of Jinghe Palace. When she was a child, she was naughty and made mischief on purpose just to avenge her mother who was grounded. She was afraid that her serious grandma would catch her and punish her in Jingren Palace, so

I always avoid Jinghe Palace.

Nowadays, she has the King Huai Sword on her waist, and is followed by two guards from the Shu Palace. Next to her is a noisy Duke of Chu who is full of bad ideas, but she still can't change her childhood fascination with Jinghe Palace.

Fear. After all, among the few times she came to Jinghe Palace, the last time was when she was thrown into the Jade River at the age of seven.

She took a deep breath and stepped into Jinghe Palace. At that time, she did not know that the distance of the rivers and lakes was far less than the depth of the harem.

She didn't know any of the generals, ministers, princes, nobles, or relatives in Jinghe Palace, so she had to follow Qiao Yun obediently, just like Qiao Yun's entourage, to see how he was doing so gloriously as the son of King Pingchang and the Song Dynasty.

The uncle of the state, dealt with among these royal relatives.

Qiao Yun did not introduce the origins of Shu'er and Lin Ying to anyone, but explained the wealth and background of the princes, generals and ministers to Shu'er one by one.

Shu'er knew that it was inconvenient for Qiao Yun to tell them that Shu'er was from the Chen Kingdom in front of these nobles of the Song Dynasty, but she didn't know why, with such a prominent status, Qiao Yun had the patience to introduce these dignitaries to the common people of the Chen Kingdom.
