Hu Qianniang sat at the bow of the red sailboat, staring at the sea below, her heart full of melancholy.

The rain had stopped, and the waves of the sea were still unstoppable. The calm sea surface was like a whole piece of good sapphire, reflecting her shadow. It is said that she was lucky and could be reborn. She was born in the richest man in the world. She had to be windy and rainy since she was a child. However, she had no mother to rely on, no father to act coquettishly, and no friends to talk to - the ones who were following her were either servants or maids or people who were inclined to be in power. After seeing her hypocritical face, she was too lazy to distinguish and be serious one by one.

Sixteen-year-old Hu Qianniang is in the stage where she can feel loneliness most. But at this moment, she met Xue Cai.

She still remembers all the details that happened that day. From the silver phoenix embroidered on Xue Cai’s shoes to the red clouds in the sky at that time, the crowds of people, and the broken stringed guqin, they are all deeply imprinted in memory...

Hu Qianniang had heard of Xue Cai for many years before she saw him.

There are four countries in the mainland, with a total population of 70 million. This is an era of controversy among hundreds of schools of thought. There are endless amazing people. However, if you look closely, the most famous one is Xue Cai.

He was the grandson of Xue Huai, the former general of Tubi. His aunt Xue Ming was the queen. He was killed by the whole family because he offended Emperor Zhao Yin. At that time, Bai Ze Hou Jiying pleaded with him and left him. Since then, he has become Ji Ying's slave and serves the people. Later Ji Ying passed away and passed the title of Bai Ze to him. After the new queen Jiang Chenyu took power, he even promoted him to become prime minister.

That year, Xue Cai was nine years old.

And she, fifteen years old.

Since Hu Qianniang remembers it, she has heard some rumors about him. She is full of curiosity about this famous prodigy and is determined to see it with her own eyes.

The opportunity finally arrived last fall.

Empress Jiang promoted Xue Cai to prime minister, but the scholar refused to accept the trouble and slandered him every day on the streets of the city.

Xue Cai was angry and posted a notice on the street, taking the cooking soup as an example, claiming that within seven days, no matter who it is, as long as he feels more capable of being the prime minister of the Bi Kingdom, he can challenge him. If he can defeat him, he will hand over the position.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole world was shocked.

Those who heard the news gathered in the imperial capital from all directions. Hu Qianniang happened to pass through the Hongyuan at that time, so she changed into men's clothes and joined in the fun with her maid Pomegranate.

A full seven days.

From noon to noon.

The child, who was not as tall as her shoulders, was wearing white clothes and a phoenix embroidered on her shoes, sat on the main seat so loudly, fighting against the scholars and making eloquent and eloquent, making the scholars speechless.

Hu Qianniang went on the first day and was curious;

Going the next day is excitement;

Going on the third day is to explore;

On the fourth day, I was surprised;

Going on the fifth day is admiration;

On the sixth day, I was amazed;

On the seventh day, I became completely interested.

She is Hu Bugui's daughter.

From birth, fate is different from that of ordinary people. According to his father Hu Jiuxian, even the princess of a country is not as noble as her.

Being rich in the world is actually a very terrible word. Because there is nothing to want, there is nothing to ask for.

There are not many things in this world that can interest her.

However, at that moment, Hu Qianniang looked at her indifferent eyes. Xue Cai, who was only nine years old, seemed to have seen the rarest treasure in the world. She truly felt something called desire sprouting deep in her heart, growing her mouth, and clamoring with two words—

I want.

I want!

I want this person.

She made up her mind and picked up the piano. At the 7th hour of the 7th day when everyone thought the situation was decided, she walked out of the crowd and walked into the lobby, saying aloud: "Let's go. I'm not talented after I was young, and I want to compete with the Prime Minister for the piano skills."

The whole house was shocked.

Xue Cai set up a platform, and compared it with others the talent of management and the art of being a general, but she wanted to compete with him with Qinyi, which had nothing to do with him. In fact, Hu Qianniang knew that she was unreasonable, but for some reason, she knew that Xue Cai would definitely agree.

If he was really the legendary Bingli, he should promise her and defeat her hard so that he could live up to his reputation as arrogant.

Come on, Xue Cai, let me see if you are the one in my mind.

The one who can override me, suppress me, and make me bow down to you like the world.

Xue Cai didn't have much surprise expression on her face, but she just frowned slightly, as if she was a little impatient: "What did you say?"

"I want to compete with you." Hu Qianniang walked a few steps closer to him. As the distance closer, his facial features became clearer, dark pupils were deep and thick and long eye wings were thick. A nine-year-old child actually had a pair of eyes that were indescribable.

Her heart trembled, but she remained silent on the surface, "Didn't the Prime Minister say that no matter who comes to challenge you in these seven days? I will challenge you to see the Prime Minister's piano skills."

There was a lot of discussion around.

Xue Cai glanced at her for a while, and smiled coldly: "Okay."

The discussion around suddenly turned into a sucking sound.

But the buds in her heart were growing and blooming.

Xue Cai said again: "I know what you are thinking. If I don't agree to you, you will definitely declare to the public that the arena I set up has loopholes. If such a loophole competition rule is out, it will not be accurate or counted, so as to further erase all my brilliant achievements over the past seven days - right?"

Yes, yes, you are right. Hu Qianniang looked at him in a little fascinated.

Xue Cai said in a deep voice: "So, I will never be as you wish. You want to compare the piano, right? Come on! Then come and compare!"

He took on the challenge as she wished.

She also won me as she wished.

Until today she still remembers the last sentence Xue Cai said that day: "Power is also a kind of strength. If you don't surpass me, why do you want to replace me?"

A person who obviously can't play the piano has won her who is proficient in piano skills in an absolutely powerful way. Others think that he is using martial arts and power, but only Hu Qianniang herself knows that it is arrogance.

What made her deadly and ecstatic as if drinking poisoned wine was his arrogance.

A pride that is hard to see in a century.

When Hu Qianniang thought about this, she felt her face very cold. When she reached out to touch her, her tears flowed unconsciously.

She decided to marry Xue Cai since that day, but everyone thought it was whimsical.

Even my father thought she was unreasonable.

"Isn't it just six years older? All your concubines are twenty or thirty years younger than you! Why can men be older than women, but women are older than men?" She remembered that she retorted angrily at that time, and also remembered that her father's eyes were cold as ice: "I can force them with money, can you?"

Yes, so what if he is the daughter of the richest man in the world? Xue Cai... is the prime minister of a country...

Her father lied to her. She was not as noble as the princess. Therefore, Cheng Wang Yishu could blatantly identify Xue Cai as her husband's candidate, while Hu Qianniang said she wanted to marry, and everyone said that she was a laughing stock.

Hu Qianniang wiped away the tears from her face, but she wiped them more and more. When she was feeling wronged, she suddenly heard the boatman screaming.

She was displeased and scolded, "What's the name of a ghost? Didn't you see me thinking about things?"

"Little, Miss! It's leaking, it's leaking!!!"

Hu Qianniang was shocked and turned around quickly. She saw that there was some leak at the bottom of the boat and was gushing into the water. The boatman found a bucket and tried hard to spoon out the water, but the pouring did not go in quickly. Soon the boat began to sink.

Hu Qianniang was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Don't you checked when you set off?"

"I checked it, it's good. And you were anxious at that time..."

"Bad! Let fireworks beg for help!"

The boatman was rushing to find the fireworks from a box, and his face changed: "It's water..."

Hu Qianniang looked out and looked at them. At this moment, they were already far away from the "Jiuxian", but she had a very good water quality and should be able to swim back. She gritted her teeth and pulled out the water and put it on: "Dismant the ship! Swim back with the wooden board!"

Just as he was about to tear down the ship, the boatman suddenly saw something and looked overjoyed: "No, don't swim! There is a boat over there!"

Hu Qianniang turned her head and saw a warship appearing on the distant seaside, with the flag embroidered with "cloud" totems.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

***

On the Nine Immortal, the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.

It’s just because of Feng Xiaoya’s saying “Ride an elephant to travel”.

Who doesn't know that this is the most shameful thing in Ma Kang's life? Now that Feng Xiaoya is thrown mercilessly on Ma Quan's face, the rising star with a reputation as Cheng Guo's face turned obviously stiff.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I heard that He Gong's martial arts are superb, which is rare in the world..."

Feng Xiaoya smiled: "Are you going to duel with me?"

Ma Quan put the guqin he was holding and held her chest with a serious expression: "Changqin is not talented, please give him advice."

When the guests heard about the fight, they were immediately excited and opened their eyes wide to watch the fun.

Ai Xiaoxiao quickly smoothed out the scene: "The banquet has been prepared, so why don't you have a meal first..." Before he finished speaking, Hu Jiuxian gave him a wink. Ai Xiaoxiao was stunned and immediately received the noise, but his doubts became deeper - the master didn't stop him? Do you want the guests to fight?

Mr. Ge also sighed. He was an old guest at a happy banquet. He had attended four times in total. In previous years, even though there were conflicts in the banquet, he could still be kind and pretended to be in a good mood. This year, he broke up and started a fight. Feng Xiaoya and Ma Fu were not just a little bit angry. Now they have to fight in a few words. Could it be that they are really incompatible with their aura?

Ai Xiaoxiao winked, and all the beauties who were singing and dancing retreated and left the empty lobby.

Ma Quan's hand gently thrust on the piano, and the sound of gold and jade rang out loud, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with murderous eyes.

Feng Xiaoya smiled and signaled Jiao Buqi to leave her.

Although Jiao Buqi hesitated, he still did it and took a few steps back.

Yi Fei whispered to Qiu Jiang: "Who will win if you come to bet?"
