The next morning.

Ning led her to practice some basic things, such as walking and spinning on an empty water tank. This is mainly to train a person's sense of balance, as well as to lay the foundation, because the latter needs to learn dance steps on the basis of this balance.

At the beginning, Kui Xue felt that this should be a very simple matter. However, he didn't expect that when he actually stood up, he would not be able to balance his body well and would soon fall off the edge of the water tank.

It turned out that it was not easy to stand on the edge of a water tank without water. As long as one was not careful, they would fall into the water tank or fall onto the ground outside.

Even so, she never thought of giving up. Like a toddler, she kept trying. As for Ning'er, she just sat on the stairs in front of the house, bored out of her mind. She nibbled on the melon seeds while pointing at them.

Ning'er wasn't as gentle and gentle as she appeared to be. She was a slightly naughty girl. When he first started learning this type of high difficulty dance, he should have practiced using a water tank filled with water. This way, it would be easier to find the balance. Ning'er felt that she was being too haughty and wanted to use an empty vat to wear down this woman's arrogance. She only told her a simple method after she had tried many times to fail.

However, Kui Xue was truly persistent. She became more courageous the more she was defeated, and trained for an entire day.

Dusk had covered the entire Peach Blossom Forest. Ning was tired of watching and was sipping on a cup of tea. When she came back to her senses, she could walk on the edge of the water tank and even make a spinning motion. Ning was rather surprised. In the past, she had trained for three days before finally finding the right balance and technique. It seemed that this Baili Kui Xue was quite capable.

"What next?" As Ning was lost in thought, a faint blue figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Baili Kui Xue, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, looked at Ning'er with an ice-cold expression.

Ning was startled for a moment, but then he smiled and pointed to a seat next to him. "Sit."

Kui Xue practiced for half a day, but her lips were also a bit dry. When Ning'er brought her some tea, she started to drink it without a trace of politeness.

"You are the first person, Mo Yi brought me here. He seems to like you very much. " A smile appeared on Ning's face, but he still looked very gentle. That kind of gentle fluctuation, in the eyes of Baili Xingxue, also revealed a hint of sadness.

"You like Xie Zimo?" Forthright asked in a probing manner, but he remained calm and collected as he glanced sideways at Ning. Ning's smile was warm, ethereal, and beautiful.

"Of course I like him. I'm willing to do anything for him." Ning laughed.

Baili Xiang Xue could not help but frown.

"Even if he won't marry you, you still like him?" Baili Xiang Xue didn't know if Ning'er would become the second Qing Qing, but she still wanted to remind her not to hang herself from a tree.

Ning was stunned for a moment, then began to chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" The 100 li of fragrant snow was somewhat baffled.

"Why would Zimo marry me?" "Hahaha, he's my blood brother! Haha …" This was the funniest joke she had ever heard. So it turns out that Xie Zimo didn't tell Baili Xingxue about their relationship, no wonder she was looking at her with such a weird gaze.

"Elder brother?" Hearing this form of address, Baili Yu Xue was at a loss. Xie Zimo has a younger sister? Why didn't she know?

"The world of that country was actually fought by our Xie Clan and the Lu Clan together. Back then, the Lu Clan controlled the military power of that country and their ambitions grew bigger and bigger, so they forced my royal father to abdicate. As long as my father abdicates, the Lu Clan can let us go." Ning looked at the fragrant snow, explaining.

"The more power a person has, the greater his ambitions would be. My royal father is a man who doesn't have any ambitions, and he only wishes for the world to be at peace with his people and for them to be in good health. He has never once thought about the struggles over power within the palace. Therefore, he chose to abdicate and give the world to the Lu family. " "The reason why I'm hiding here and hiding my identity is because after Lu Hongqiao ascended the throne, he wanted to marry me off to another family."

"In order to protect me, royal father and brother asked me to fake my death and sent me out of the palace. After that, I learned art from a woman called Luo Ying. Then the woman left and I lived here alone. " "Brother Zimo must want to see you jealous, that's why I didn't tell you."

After Ning'er finished laughing, she told Baili Yu Xue that her surname was Xie and her full name was Xie Ning. Ning'er only called her this way because of Xie Zi Mo.

Xie Ning was the younger sister of Xie Zimo, the princess of the first dynasty in Liu and that country. In order to avoid the fate of marriage, she was sent to the side of the most famous dancer, Luo Ying, by her royal father and royal brother. Ning'er was naturally intelligent and learned dancing from Luo Ying. Later, she inherited the name of her master, Luo Ying. Luo Ying had become a legend of that country.

Because Xie Ning faked his death, Lu Hongqiao sent his own daughter to the marriage alliance.

Baili Yin Xue suddenly felt a bit angry. She felt that Xie Zimo had gone too far. He was messing with her like this and caused such a strange misunderstanding!

After Ning finished explaining, he continued to laugh. It had been a long time since she had last laughed heartily, and the arrival of the sweet snow brought her a lot of fun. This woman in front of him seemed to possess some sort of power, a power that would make people feel happy.

Perhaps, this was also the reason why Xie Zimo liked sweet snow from 100 miles away?

She seemed cold and indifferent, yet very warm. She seemed stubborn and weak. It was a woman that could arouse the desire of others to conquer her. It made people want to protect her and see how she would smile.

Kui Xue sighed, lay down and closed her eyes to rest. She said to Ning'er, "Don't laugh anymore. I want to rest for a while."

"Then you go in and sleep, I'm not Zimo. I don't have the strength to carry you to bed." Ning continued to joke around.

Baili Yu Xue's face turned red, but she was unable to find any rebuttal words, so she could only get up and return to her room to rest.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

While she was learning to dance, Xie Zimo, who was far away in the Prime Minister's Residence, did not idle around either.

During these ten days, Xie Zimo had sent the few people from the stronghold back to You Wu, telling them to go to You Wu and collect some of the commoners who wanted to serve them. After that, he would rebuild You Wu and create a path that led directly from You Wu to the capital.

Xie Zimo's purpose for doing this was very simple. He wanted to get more people who could help him, and he also wanted to take advantage of people's desire to live a better life, and accept people who were willing to work for him.

Many of the people living in seclusion in Youwu began paying attention to Xie Zimo, and some of the soldiers that came from the mountains specially to find Xie Zimo, hoping that he would become one of his subordinates. Imperceptibly, Xie Zimo's first army was slowly taking shape, and You Wu had also become his camp.

In that country, there were still many generals who risked their lives to follow the late king. These people had always been oppressed by the Lu family. This time, when Xie Zimo secretly recruited them, they naturally came.

Xie Zimo, who had been tired all day, returned to the Prime Minister's Estate, and he habitually took a detour to his residence.

In front of the courtyard, there were a few crystal orchids. Xiao Yan was holding the small drum while swaying it. Xiao Yan's cute hands were extended towards the small drum. His eyes were rolling around gloomily, making him look very cute. Yu Wen and Yu Xuan had gotten some brown leaves from somewhere and made up a grasshopper, which they hung and played with.

Xie Zimo walked over to Yu Xuan and Yu Wen. The two saw that Xie Zimo had bowed to them, so they weren't too nervous. Xie Zimo looked at the things in their hands, then revealed a smile.

"Come over here for a moment." Xie Zimo waved at them, then led them into the pavilion …

Within the imperial palace.

As expected, Empress Dowager Liu had arranged for the daughters of the Minister of Revenue and General Wu to be brought to the palace. Lu Shaoheng followed her wishes and conferred the title of imperial concubine on them. Ming Juan lived in Xining Palace, Wu Man'er stayed in Yan Jin Palace, one in a palace in the east and the other in a palace in the south. They were both quite far from Lu Shaoheng. Lu Shaoheng doted on them separately the night they were bestowed the title of concubines, and after that, he never went to their chambers again.

As an Imperial Consort, Yu Jing actually didn't know anything about matters between men and women. Lu Shaoheng had always doted on her as his younger sister, so Yu Jing didn't know that the imperial concubine needed to serve the emperor, nor did she know that the imperial concubine needed to sleep in the same bed as the emperor. With regards to the arrival of Wu Man'er and Wu Juan, although she was a little jealous, she had forgotten about this matter when she saw that Lu Shaoheng didn't look for them.

Lu Shaoheng had been so busy recently that he almost couldn't breathe. Many national affairs awaited his approval, and his mother's birthday was coming. He needed to arrange his birthday and show, and everything needed to be carefully considered.

When he was free, the image of Baili Xingxue's face flashed through his mind. This kind of feeling made him irritable, but he didn't know what kind of feeling it was.

Was it throbbing?

Since he couldn't figure it out, he continued to busy himself.

"Greetings to the emperor. Esteemed Empress Dowager ordered the imperial pharmacy to make medicinal food to recuperate." Xiao Kong carried the medicinal cuisine into Lu Shaoheng's chamber and bowed in greeting.

Lu Shaoheng looked at Lin Xuan, who was beside him. Lin Xuan nodded, went down, and brought the medicinal food over, placing it on the table.

"You may leave." Lu Shaoheng was reading the imperial reports, but he didn't look up at Xiaokong. He only coldly said, "Let him go."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Kong respectfully bowed and left.

Lu Shaoheng left his sleeping quarters, and the wasp landed on his shoulder. He glanced at the wasp, then walked to a quiet corner and started working with it.

In the past few days, Xiao Kong had been in contact with Lu Zixu, and they were discussing the matter of Liu Heng Xi's birthday.

"Xiao Kong, why are you here?" Yujing emerged from behind him and patted him on the shoulder, scaring away the wasp on his shoulder.

"Jing Er? Why are you here? " Xiao Kong was stunned for a moment. Looking at Yu Jing, the two of them walked towards another corridor.

Yu Jing knew that Lu Shaoheng had been busy recently, so she didn't go disturb him. She changed targets. Whenever she had nothing to do, she liked to play with Xiao Kong. Xiao Kong was very interesting. She was very quick-witted and could chat with her. Thus, if she had any questions, she would ask Xiao Kong. Xiao Kong would occasionally be curious about Yu Jing's identity, but he felt that knowing too much might not be a good thing, so he did not ask.

"Show me what a wasp can write today!" After saying that, Xiao Kong made a shushing gesture.

Yu Jing covered her mouth and giggled. The two then went to the secret base.

Far away in the Peach Blossom Forest outside the palace, Baili Xingxue had learned nearly ten days of dancing. What she needed to master, she had mastered already. Finally, she changed into a new outfit and put on half a pair of eyeshadow, looking like Luo Ying herself.

Ning'er sat at the front of the house and sipped some tea. She watched Fuxue dance a tune and felt that it wasn't bad, so she told her to rest a bit. She didn't have to dance all the time.

Fifty miles of fragrant snow left the bamboo house and strolled along the peach forest.

On the other side of the Peach Blossom Forest, there was a stream. Pebbles could be seen in the water. The sound of water splashing was very pleasing to the ear. The distant duckweed floated in the air. The petals of the peach blossoms fell as they flowed with the waves.

Kui Xue inhaled a breath of fresh air and gently sighed. She felt that this place was a bit cold and cheerless.
