Chapter 161 The Queen Mother's Secret(2/2)
There is a pool of rippling lights in the center of the underground secret room, with bright red as blood. The walls around the secret room are inlaid with mirrors, reflecting each other, like a maze.
The gorgeous long skirt slid off Xiao Zirong's shoulders, revealing her snow-white and tight body, which was no less than the young girl's body. Taking off her headdress, her long black hair fell on her snow-white shoulders like a waterfall.
Xiao Zirong had a blood-colored phoenix with flapping his wings and about to fly on his back. As she stretched her arms, the phoenix seemed to come alive.
Xiao Zirong looked at himself in the mirror, then he reached into his long hair with both hands, and used a little force to tear a gap in the skin from the back of his head, and then took off all the skin around her, revealing the dazzling white bones hidden in it. After all, Xiao Zirong hung the armor barrier on the clothes hanger, and the bone's feet stepped on the hard marble floor, making a crisp sound of slapping.
She walked towards the blood-colored pool with strange steps, completely immersing the white bone body into the pool.
The Empress Dowager Xiao Zirong was very concerned about this marriage and gave it to Qin Lang a county horse mansion. This county horse mansion was once the former son-in-law mansion, and the Babu Academy was next door. Speaking of which, the son-in-law who once lived here had been dead for many years and died of rebellion. After his death, the princess also committed suicide and left behind this son-in-law mansion, which had been vacant for twenty years before the Empress Dowager gave it to Qin Lang.
Three years ago, the late emperor rebuilt the Prince's Mansion on a whim and gave it a name to Jinyuan. In fact, the late emperor took a fancy to a singer and wanted to hide her here. Unfortunately, before the late emperor succeeded, he got seriously ill, so Jinyuan had no master. The queen mother Xiao Zirong remembered this place for some reason and followed the flow and made a personal favor.
Jiang Konghou had already found out about the origin of Jinyuan clearly. She thought that the house was unlucky and suggested that Qin Lang accept it, but never live there.
Because of the wedding preparation, Qin Lang will come to Sang Mansion these days and meet Xue Wu every day, but there are few opportunities for them to talk alone.
Qin Lang took the time to come to the courtyard where Xue Wu lived and saw Xue Wu sitting in the yard embroidery. Because he was too focused, he didn't notice Qin Lang coming in.
Qin Lang coughed, Xue Wu felt panicked, and the embroidery needle pierced his finger.
Qin Lang said with concern: "Are you okay?"
Xue Wu shook her head, sucked her fingers, and recovered instantly, but blood was stained on the embroidery. Xue Wu said, "It's broken."
Qin Lang looked down and saw Xue Wu embroidering two lotus flowers. It turned out that this was a wedding gift to him.
"When did you learn embroidery? It's so clever."
Xue Wu praised him and smiled Yanran and said, "My aunt asked me to learn anything. Embroidery is also helpful for cultivation and can help me exercise my state of mind."
Qin Lang nodded and sat down opposite Xuewu. He wanted to explain his marriage to her, but he didn't know how to talk about it when he actually saw her.
"Brother, I know what you want to say, Xue Wu understands."
Qin Lang laughed: "It's good to understand."
Xue Wu said: "Brother, will you forget me if you marry a wife?"
Qin Lang shook his head and said, "How could it be? I promised Grandma Sang that I will take good care of you."
"Brother will always be Xue Wu's closest person."
Qin Lang nodded vigorously and reached out to touch her hair: "Practice well and don't think too much."
Xue Wu whispered: "Brother, I have already entered the fourth-grade second-level realm and am already a national doctor who saves life and helps the wounded."
Qin Lang was not surprised that she could make such rapid progress. After all, Xue Wu had already taken three lotus seeds from the colorful blood lotus. At that time, he was worried that Sang Jingtian might have other purposes for Xue Wu. Now it seems that his concern may be unnecessary.
Qin Lang handed something to Xue Wu. When Xue Wu took it out, it was a red robe. This red robe is not an ordinary item, but a red robe robbed by Qin Lang from Chihu Ji Congliang. Although Xue Wu was in the Sang Mansion, Qin Lang was still worried that it would be a mess. Xue Wu only practiced healing techniques and did not practice the way of attack and defense. This red robe was used by her just in case.
When Xue Wu saw that Qin Lang was still caring about him, her pretty face couldn't help but feel hot and she whispered: "I haven't given a gift to my brother yet, but I took my brother's gift first."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "If you have time, just make a few more delicious meals for me."
Xue Wu nodded seriously and thought to herself, if my brother is willing, I can be your life for you, but when I think that my brother will soon be taken care of by his wife, I am afraid that this opportunity will be less and less, so I will inevitably feel sad again.
Jiang Nuanmo came here now. She came to teach Xuewu every day, and Xuewu's embroidered girl red is also taught by her.
Jiang Nuanmo smiled and said, "Brother Ye is here too."
Qin Lang said: "It just happened to be passed by, so it's time for me to leave."
Jiang Nuanmo said: "I haven't had time to congratulate you yet."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Do you recognize Long Xixi?"
Jiang Nuanmo said: "I don't know this baby daughter of Prince Qing is very mysterious."
Qin Lang thought to himself that Jiang Nuanmo and Chen Weiyu are close friends. Chen Weiyu once had a good relationship with Liu Xixi. If she knew that Long Xixi was Liu Xixi, I wonder if she would have seen her before? Qin Lang had no intention of exposing this matter.
When he returned to his residence, Gu Xiefei handed him an invitation, but someone invited him to Chunxue Tower for a banquet. Qin Lang looked at the signature, which said Cao Sheng.
Qin Lang thought about it and found that he had never met Cao Sheng, but he had heard of his name. He was the son of Ningyang King Cao Hongtu, known as the Little Prince. If he could still have something to do with Cao Sheng, Cao Sheng and Jiang Nuanmo set up a marriage contract since childhood. Later, Jiang Nuanmo once proposed to withdraw from the marriage, but later he didn't hear the following, so it was probably in vain.
No matter from any point of view, Qin Lang is not easy to refuse.
Qin Lang arrived as promised that night. Although he had been to Yongdu for a while, it was his first visit to Chunxue Tower. He heard that Chunxue Tower is the most expensive restaurant in Yongdu. Usually, people come and go here are royals and nobles, and ordinary people can only look up to it.
Chunxue Tower has three floors, with red lights hanging high in four corners. When Qin Lang rode the Black Wind, there were already many carriages and horses in front of the door. Black Wind was quite spiritual. Qin Lang did not need to tie it to the horse leash stake, so Black Wind could wait in the carriage and horses.
When he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian shirt waiting there and said respectfully: "Is it the Jun Ma Master?" This person is Zhao Zhui, a visitor to the Ningyang Prince's Mansion. Because he is resourceful, the Ningyang King arranged for him to assist Cao Sheng.
Qin Lang and Long Xixi have not yet got married, but now many people call him Ma Jun.
Qin Lang followed Zhao Zhui to the third floor of Yingxue Pavilion, and this entire floor was all covered by Cao Sheng. In Dayong, the king of the alien surname was a very unique existence. Their ancestors all made great contributions to the expansion of territory of Dayong.
All of these six kings of different surnames made great contributions when quelling Yan Beihui's rebellion. Unlike the princes of the royal family, the six kings of different surnames have fiefs. On the surface, the court trusted them very much, but in fact it was not. Since Emperor Longxing ascended the throne, the power of the six kings of different surnames was tightened and they asked them to send their prince to Yongdu to study. Their children's marriage must be approved by the court.
The marriage between Sang Jingtian and Jiang Konghou was arranged by the court. Logically speaking, it was impossible to find Sang Jingtian, a seventh-rank lieutenant, at that time, but the court made such an arrangement. However, the emperor at that time did not expect that Sang Jingtian had such talent and would be ranked third in the future.
Cao Sheng also lived in Yongdu for a long time, and this person was kind and generous and made friends.
When Qin Lang walked into Yingxue Pavilion, he saw a handsome young man in brocade and jade clothes, who was Cao Sheng.
Cao Sheng was born in a family of princes and princes, and was both civil and military. He showed an extraordinary noble spirit when he raised his hands and feet. He smiled and said to Qin Lang: "Hello, Mr. Qin! Cao Sheng in Xia Ningyang."
Qin Lang bowed his fists and paid more attention to Cao Sheng because of Jiang Nuanmo. He said that Cao Sheng is really a handsome man. With his appearance and temperament, he is also very compatible with Jiang Nuanmo. But he doesn't know why Jiang Nuanmo wanted to break off the engagement?
Cao Sheng was the host, and there were two accompanying guests, one was Li Yuting, the son of Li Yifeng, who was the young master of Li Yifeng in Dayong, and the other was Zhong Haitian, the master of painting master Qin Daozi. Zhong Haitian had seen Qin Lang. When he was portraying the portrait on the spot in the Prince Qing's Mansion, Zhong Haitian was at the scene, but he was among the onlookers at that time, and Qin Lang was the focus of everyone's attention.
Cao Sheng greeted Qin Lang to take his seat and introduced several people to know each other. At this time, Zhao Zhui came in and asked when it would start.
