When Mu Xu and Pei Nanzhi left, Mu Xu took away two bags of donkey rolls. Pei Nanzhi came pitifully and left aggrieved.
However, on the way back, Mu Xu glanced at his junior sister and said nothing.
Instead, Pei Nanzhi touched the comb in his sleeve.
That year, in the palace of the late queen, she used this comb to comb the hair of the queen who was terminally ill at the time.
The late queen's hair became very thin after she became ill, so Pei Nanzhi was very careful when combing it.
They have been combing each other's hair like this since they were children.
Looking at herself in the mirror, the late Queen Mother smiled and said, "Nanzhi, after I leave, let Fengxiang comb your hair."
Pei Nanzhi looked disgusted: "That girl is crazy. Last time she almost made a bunch of my hair wrinkled. It's better if you come."
The late Queen laughed and said, "How can I comb your hair if I become a ghost?"
Pei Nanzhi said nothing.
The former Queen said, "But speaking of that girl, she is crazy and I don't know what kind of husband she will find."
Pei Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "What if it's a woman?"
The late Queen immediately laughed and said, "When you comb Fengxiang's hair, please also help comb the child's hair for me."
Pei Nanzhi looked disgusted: "Try to survive, and then do it yourself! Don't do anything to me casually, I still have many important things to do."
The late Queen Mother laughed, then looked at herself in the mirror, feeling somewhat sad.
Pei Nanzhi turned the mirror over.
The former queen smiled and said, "Nanzhi, I'm sorry. I don't think I can accompany you to get married. It's all your fault that you look down on everyone and only think about gambling instead of looking for someone you love."
Pei Nanzhi paused for a moment, looked down at the hair of her best friend in her hand, and said softly, "Then don't get married."
The former queen smiled helplessly, leaned back in her chair, and said weakly, "What are you talking about? But wait a minute, I'll dance for you. Just think of it as me dancing for you at your wedding banquet."
Pei Nanzhi stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the late queen: "Rest well, and when I find a man better than Your Majesty, you will accompany me to marry. And if you leave before me, be careful or I will scold you. I am a scholar, and I have a lot of ways to scold people."
The former queen laughed and said, "Then on the day I leave, you scold me harshly and then dance with me. It's the dance you fell down at my wedding because you were shy. I want to watch it."
Pei Nanzhi said in a clear and loud voice: "Don't dream!"
then
A few days later, the late Queen passed away.
When Pei Nanzhi arrived, he only saw the cold body.
She didn't say a word, but just cursed for a long time, "Fool!"
It rained that night.
Pei Nanzhi came to the top of the city wall and danced all night in the most clearly visible place right in front of the Queen's funeral hall, repeating the same movements.
……
Walking on the way out of the palace at Lingqi Pavilion, Pei Nanzhi withdrew his thoughts and looked at Mu Xu: "Senior Brother."
Mu Xu was holding the donkey roll that Su Changan gave her before leaving, and turned to look at Pei Nanzhi.
Pei Nanzhi said, "I think we should promote Daxia's Pai Gow culture at that cultural exchange meeting. I can perform on the spot."

Chapter 607: Secret Love is Never a Trivial Matter
Ever since people in the capital knew that the Empress was actually fine, all those rumors that the Empress was seriously ill and in danger were just rumors.
The atmosphere in the entire capital city became much more cheerful, but this might also be because the Cold Food Festival was approaching.
There is an old saying in the folk that goes, "If you don't bring willows during the Cold Food Festival, your beauty will turn into gray hair."
Therefore, on the streets, you can see many people wearing newly sprouted willow branches in early spring, either weaving them into ornaments or wearing them casually in their hair or clothes.
Moreover, cold food stalls selling cold noodles, cold cakes, and mugwort dumplings can be seen everywhere on the street.
Lian Wei was walking on the street, with a thing shaped like a bird made by folding willow branches hanging around her waist. It was made by Su Changan. Everyone around him had one, and they came in various shapes. Lian Wei took the bird-shaped one and hung it up.
Today was her day off, a rare day of rest. Lian Wei did not go to the Su Mansion to find her parents, or to find Su Linhan, but to the Prince An's Mansion to find Yu Jianyi.
Junior brothers like junior sisters and senior sisters, it seems that this happens in every sect in the world.
But Lian Wei didn’t know that Junior Brother Yu Jianyi liked her. She only knew that Yu Jianyi liked to come to her to ask about sword skills since childhood, and that was all.
Moreover, except Yu Jianyi, few of the fellow disciples in the sect would take the initiative to look for Lian Wei. They just dared to watch from afar and did not dare to really go up and say a few words to Lian Wei.
It was only later when Lian Wei's attainments in swordsmanship improved and he began to teach swordsmanship to his fellow disciples on behalf of his father that he began to be exposed to the art.
But no one dared to talk to Lian Weiduo.
This made Lian Wei think that she was isolated for a while, but fortunately she didn't care about it, so she didn't think too much about it.
I just heard the Queen say not long ago that Yu Jianyi likes me.
When he first heard about it, Lian Wei didn't think much about it. After all, he had encountered such a thing at that time. But at night, when he thought about it carefully, he just felt that it was impossible.
After all, although Junior Brother Yu often asks me about the sword, other than that, he always avoids me. How could he like me for such a thing?
But after what Xia Yaomo said before.
In addition, Lian Wei went to find Lian Qiao and learned that Yu Jianyi came to the capital to see him. As for his affair with Su Linhan, Yu Jianyi hid in Prince An's mansion, drinking all day and getting drunk all the time.
Lian Wei didn't know what to do and always felt that he couldn't tell his parents.
So he went to talk to the Queen Mother about this.
The Queen Mother told her, "Go and talk to him in person. It's not a good idea to keep exposing him."
Lian Wei nodded.
But the Queen Mother said, "Wait until my house arrest is over, and take me with you then!"
Lian Wei didn't say anything at that time.
So he took a day off today and hurried out to solve the problem. After all, if he really asked the Queen to help solve it, he didn't know what would happen.
Especially when he thought of the Queen's interested expression at the time, Lian Wei felt that he must not let the Queen see these.
just
Lian Wei had a worried look on her face because she actually didn't know how to deal with such a thing.
Lian Wei is much smarter than Lian Qiao, and in terms of understanding the ways of the world, he is actually only a little more knowledgeable than Lian Qiao.
What's more, Lian Wei was very clear that what happened to Yu Jianyi was not a matter of human relations.
In the words of the Queen, "Love between men and women is the most unreasonable thing in the world and it is very troublesome."
Lian Wei sighed, but his expression remained cold. Although the passers-by around were amazed at the appearance of the female hero, they did not dare to look at her for too long.
"Sister Lian Wei!"
Just as Lian Wei was thinking about how to tell his junior brother, he heard Su Qingning's voice.
Looking back, she saw Su Qingning running towards her with a small bag on her back.
Lian Wei saw Su Qingning and didn't say anything.
Su Qingning smiled and said, "Don't look for her anymore. My second sister has been very busy at the Imperial College recently. She didn't even come home yesterday. She said that my eldest sister had given the Imperial College some instructions on cultural exchange between countries, and she is now busy receiving the prince from Persia."
Lian Wei smiled. She knew about this, but she also knew that Su Qingning was teasing her, so she didn't care. She just asked, "What are you doing alone?"
Su Qingning found that Lian Wei didn't respond and felt a little bored, but when she heard Lian Wei's question, she immediately said, "Because I'm too idle, so I have nothing to do."
Lian Wei didn't know what to say. No wonder your second sister always found something for you to do every time she saw you.
Instead, Su Qingning looked at Lian Wei and asked, "What are you going to do? What errand did the elder sister assign you to do?"
Lian Wei shook his head: "I'm going to Prince An's Mansion to find my junior brother."
Su Qingning blinked and looked at Lian Wei, then said solemnly: "Are you finally going to take action against my eldest brother for my second sister?"
Lian Wei was stunned for a moment: "For, your sister?"
Lian Wei naturally knew that he was talking about Su Linhan, but Lian Wei didn't understand what it meant to fight for Su Linhan.
Su Qingning said seriously: "Brother Yu often visits my second sister. I once saw him talking to my second sister. After that, Brother Yu went to drink. I was too free, so I followed him secretly. I saw that he drank a lot. After that, Brother Yu seldom came to the Su Mansion. He always drank with Lian Qiao and His Royal Highness. I think he likes my sister, so... um~~"
When Su Qingning said this, Lian Wei covered Su Qingning's mouth and said helplessly: "That's not the case, don't talk nonsense."
Su Qingning blinked and looked at Lian Wei curiously.
Lian Wei just let go of his hand when he heard Su Qingning curiously ask: "Isn't that so? Is it because of something else? I heard from Uncle Lian and Aunt Wu that it was you who caused Brother Yu to become what he is now. I also heard them say that Brother Yu will help you through this hurdle sooner or later."
At this point, Su Qingning swallowed her saliva, glanced at the sword in Lian Wei's hand, and then looked at Lian Wei with a serious face: "Take me with you, I want to watch you fight! I dream of watching you fight for my sister, fighting for the successor to the head! Then my sister will become the head's wife."
Lian Wei looked at Su Qingning, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But as the Queen said when she was chatting with Su Linhan.
"I've read too many storybooks!"
……
Yu Jianyi, the second senior brother of Tianzhi Pavilion, had never really fought in the martial arts world, so even in the records of Shuya Tower, there was very little information about him.
However, many discerning people knew that the man who was accepted as Lian Xinglan’s second disciple must be quite talented.
Moreover, Lian Qiao knew that he was no match for his second senior brother who was sitting at the table and drinking from a wine jug.
Moreover, the second senior brother who seems to be trapped in love is very popular in Tianzhi Pavilion and Zhuhaiwu Village, especially among women.
There is no need to say much about the many junior sisters in Tianzhi Pavilion. The second senior brother is a decent person, does things flawlessly, and is very patient when teaching his junior brothers. No matter how stupid the disciple is, Yu Jianyi will teach him carefully and never show any disdain. Instead, he will blame himself for not teaching well.
As for Zhuhai Wuzhuang, Lian Qiao went there with his father for a small competition between the two sects, and the second senior brother also went there at that time.
Compared to the famously beautiful eldest sister of Zhuhai Wuzhuang, the second eldest brother is weaker in strength and appearance.
But those elders just liked the second senior brother, even if they never made a move, the man from Zhuhai Wuzhuang would always win the competition, but the women in Zhuhai Wuzhuang all liked the second senior brother.
