The aura of a natural born king suppressed him. Even he, who had been in the battlefield for a long time, felt his heart tremble. He didn't know if the decision he had made was the right one or the wrong one.

"Sigh, you, have never easily admitted defeat. That's right, in half a month's time, the Emperor's birthday banquet will be held. At that time, the envoys from the neighboring countries will come to our country to celebrate our birthday. The Emperor has ordered that all children of officials above the third rank must attend the banquet, and you must also go. "

Bai Zhixi pointed at himself, and looked at Old General Bai in disbelief, meaning: Me too?

Her parents were long dead, and her father wasn't above the third rank. Why would he attend such a boring banquet?

"Hurry up and dispel your impractical thoughts. You must attend this banquet."

Don't think that he doesn't know his granddaughter's thoughts. In fact, he doesn't like those boring banquets either. However, he had no choice but to obey the imperial edict.

"Why? I don't want to go to that boring meeting. With so many daughters on Prime Minister's Estate, you can just pick any one of them.

What kind of place was the palace?

This was an extremely dangerous place. If he wasn't careful and said something wrong, the lesser ones would be imprisoned, while the heavier ones would not be able to leave the gates of the imperial palace, and would not be able to see the sun tomorrow.

"You damn girl, how can they compare to you? You have to always remember that you are from the direct line of descent, and your status is incomparably noble." And regardless of how talented or outstanding they were, they were only the offspring of an aunt. Their status was a bit lower than yours, so in the end, they did not have the qualifications. And it is the Imperial Majesty's imperial decree, you must attend. However, when I thought about it, you were a fool since you were young and had never studied before. You didn't have the same proficiency in zither, chess, painting, or calligraphy, so in order to prevent you from joining the palace, you didn't have the slightest appearance of a golden lady. He then requested for an order from the Emperor, requesting the Prince Mo of the clan to teach you for a few days. Prince Mo was extremely smart since he was young, he had read many books under the heavens, and his zither, chess, calligraphy and painting were also not bad. He could teach you for just a few days, but if you study diligently …

Learning his lesson wouldn't embarrass me. When that time comes, there will still be envoys from the other three nations at the banquet, don't embarrass us, our Dongjun Kingdom. "

Old General Bai finished his words without even catching his breath, shocking Bai Zhixi to the point where he started clapping his hands in applause. If this was a debate, this old man would definitely take first place.

Wait?

What did he just say?

Let that Jun Mohan, that great rogue, teach me manners?

"Grandfather, you asked Jun Mohan to teach me how to learn. I have eyes of my own, wouldn't I be able to see it for myself?"

Bai Zhixi stood up in excitement. If she stayed with that Darkhell everyday, she reckoned that she would lose a few years of her lifespan.

"Do you know how to read it? You have been a fool since you were young, do you know how to read? "

This silly girl, she was really lucky to be here. Did she think that anyone in Prince Mo could ask her to help? Anyone willing to teach?

"I …"

This time, she didn't know how to reply, so she could only silently hold it in.

"But can't it be anyone else?"

She had also thought that if she were to suddenly learn how to read, she would definitely be suspected by others.

This was indeed a good opportunity, but why did it have to be that man with a big belly?

"Stupid girl, if someone is willing to teach you, will I still have to take off my old face and go beg the Prince Mo? Really, you are so stupid, if you had Prince Mo's guidance and learned even the slightest bit from him, I would thank the heavens. In the future, he would promise that the other party wouldn't be looked down upon by his in-laws either. "Really, you're so stupid, yet you're so picky. You better learn well. If you don't learn well, then don't come back. If you learn well, then come back."

Old General Bai looked at her in disappointment. At this moment, Bai Zhixi had an impulse to tell him regardless of anything: In his previous life, he was a top student, how could he compare to the old man whose mind had been sealed for thousands of years?

But she did not have the courage to say so, so she could only lower her head in silence. Old General Bai shouted for half a day in her courtyard before she left. It could be seen how dissatisfied she was with Bai Zhixi.

As the night quietly arrived, Bai Zhixi lied on his bed and thought about what his grandfather had said earlier today. Even though he had to face that repulsive face every day, under careful thought, being able to learn by using his name, and using it to showcase his talent, would also be able to obstruct his leisurely way.

Forget it. For the sake of not being burned to death as a monster by others, I'll just tolerate him for half a month! As he thought about it, he couldn't help but fall asleep.

Inside the small wooden house on the mountain behind capital, the lights were currently on and the cold wind was blowing the candles through the gap in the door. However, you could still clearly see everything inside.

"Master, the disciples of witch church on Demon Subduing Mountain have been wanting to make a move lately, killing the innocent at the bottom of the mountain. The brothers stationed there did not want to be brutally killed because of their quarrel with them. In addition, the brothers in the surrounding towns all encountered the same thing. They killed quite a few of our brothers, and the surrounding villages weren't spared either. They were all slaughtered by them. "We brothers are all very excited, vowing to avenge our brothers who have been killed, we will go ask our lord."

The cold wind blew into the wooden house again, and the candles swayed in the cold wind. The man in black, wearing an eagle mask, was kneeling on the ground, looking solemn and dignified in front of the black robed man in the master's seat.

"Mm …" Do you know what happened to them? "

The man's deep and hoarse voice seemed to hide an invisible pressure that shot towards the black clothed man, pressing him so that he did not even dare to breathe. He could only lower his head and continue reporting the situation.

"Reporting to my lord, they seem to be looking for a woman. She was born during the Lunar New Year, and is exactly fifteen years old this year. But he didn't know why he was looking for a girl. Wherever they passed by, they would capture all the girls that were born in the Yin year. As for where they are currently being held, we have yet to find out. "

Hearing this, the black-clothed man constantly tapped the edge of the chair with his right hand. He suddenly raised his head and wore the arrogant mask of an eagle. Under the light of the lanterns, it added a mysterious tint to his face, which matched perfectly with his flawless lower jaw.

When he looked, he was shocked to see that it was the person that Bai Zhixi met at Wu Ji's Blacksmith Shop. However, the aura of an expert that he was emitting was more than ten times stronger than that day.

"Mm …" Leng Ming, bring some people with you and keep an eye on them. If they harm innocent people again, kill them without leaving a trace. Also, get Leng Feng and his brothers to give me a blow to their spirits. They even dare to touch my people, so they don't want to live anymore. I want to see what they can do to find that girl. "

Beneath the mask of the black clothed man, his gaze was distant and his words emotionless.

The man in black stood up as soon as he received the order. Then, he disappeared.

The surroundings became silent. Aside from the cold wind blowing, there was not a single sound.

After a long while, the black-clothed man took off his crazy mask, extinguished the burning candle with a single palm, and left the wooden house with the aid of the silver-white snow. Standing on the mountaintop, looking at the brightly lit capital below, the corners of his mouth hooked up into an evil smile, and he flew down, disappearing within the silver-white snow mountain.

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed. There were still two days until her grandfather's request for her to go to the clan's Duke's Palace to learn from Jun Mohan. Grandfather told her to prepare paper, ink, and ink, not to use anyone else's ink, making it seem that her Prime Minister's Estate was very poor and embarrassing. After that, she got the housekeeper to pass her a hundred taels of silver, which was for the purpose of buying ink and pens, as well as the living expenses of the Royal Family. When she took the heavy silver, she felt quite happy in her heart.

However, when she thought about how the silver would be other people's money in a few days, her heart ached. Jun Mohan was so unfaithful to her that she had to pay the tuition and living expenses. This infuriated her to death.

"Miss, what's the matter? Who dares to provoke you? "

Lan Yi was about to prepare the clothes that she would wear at her clan's Duke Palace, but he realized that other than the purple clothes that the young miss was wearing, there was nothing else that could be worn. Thinking about old general's orders, he decided to take Yue Yang out to make some clothes. Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Yue Bing sitting under the Plum Blossom Tree in the courtyard with her face puffed up, as if someone owed her money.

"Hey, Lan Yi, when I think about the fact that the silver is in the next few days from now to become that big rogue, I am not willing to give up. It hurts here. "

Bai Zhixi carried the silver and pointed it at his heart, revealing a pained expression and laughing at Lan Yi.

Miss, you are so greedy!

"Miss, money is just worldly possessions, don't mind it too much, there is no way for us to earn it. Don't be angry and hurt your body. Without a good body, what's the use of having so much money! Look at Prince Mo, although the world knows that he is the richest man in the entire capital, his health is not good, and the imperial doctors say so straightforwardly that he won't live past twenty years old, so what use does he have if he can't take away his money? "

Lan Yi looked at his young miss and shook his head with a bitter smile. Her family used to be rich in the area because her father had a quarrel with others, so she didn't want to be murdered by her enemies. She took away her family's money and killed her parents.

If not for her mother's desperate protection that day, and if she had not met his savior, she would have long passed away from this world.

Therefore, she didn't care about how much money she had. She only cared about the lives of the people she cared about. That was the best.

"Lan Yi, you don't understand. It was important to have good health, but not to have money. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. What business do you have with me? "

Bai Zhixi looked at Lan Yi and his expression suddenly turned ugly. This little girl had always been lively and cheerful, what happened to her now?

Could it be that her careless words caused her to feel sad? After all, everyone had a story, didn't they?

"Little Sister Lan Yi, what's wrong?"

Seeing that she did not answer, Bai Zhixi waved his hands in front of her eyes and pulled her thoughts back.

"Miss, this servant only thought of my dead parents and felt a little sad. However, there was nothing left to do now. Oh, that's right, today when I prepared clothes for you, I realised that your clothes were all the clothes that the young misses did not wear in the past, First Madam threw all of them here. The servant thought, now that Miss has returned to normal, I won't be able to wear these clothes. Why don't we go to the market and make some?

"

Lan Yi returned to his usual lively and lively self as he happily pulled Bai Zhixi's hand. Her eyes were filled with laughter. As long as she was working for the young mistress, she would be happy.
