Pei Nanwei put the secret letter back into the envelope and lowered her head to look at the sandalwood box. She pulled aside the curtain and saw that the servant girls were still waiting on the road. She unconsciously reached out to touch the sandalwood box, but as soon as she touched it, she suddenly retracted her hand as if she had been scalded. This wangfei was vexed and in a fit of pique, she fiercely grabbed the sandalwood box and threw it against the inner wall of the carriage. The sandalwood box fell to the ground and a string of simple prayer beads rolled out. Pei Nanwei did not believe in Buddhism, nor did she believe in Elder Huang's teachings. It was just that she was born in a noble family and had seen and learned a lot in Jing An Palace. She was "satisfied" with this string of Po Luo beads that had the reputation of "Crown Prince" in the Central Plains. It was love at first sight. Women were fickle. She had just thrown away the sandalwood box, and now she picked up the prayer beads with pity in her eyes. Leaning against the wall of the carriage, she held a round ivory Crown Prince. Pei Nanwei raised her head and looked at it in a daze. In the eyes of the common people, as the Princess Consort, Qingzhou was hers, Xiangfan was hers, and the reeds outside the window were hers. They all said it was hers, but what was the truth? Just like how the common people would never know about the intrigue in the Imperial Palace, all of this was not hers.
Pei Nanwei thought of her carefree childhood. She thought of the grandeur when she first entered the wangfu. She thought of the cold face of the First Wangfei. She thought of the gloominess that Zhao Xun had learned from Zhao Heng. She thought of the absurdity when she left the inn by Shouyang Lake. When she heard the rumbling of horse hooves, she finally thought of the secret letter. She remembered the parting words of the King of Jing An, who had helped her grow old together, like an elegiac couplet. Pei Nanwei was frightened and threw away the prayer beads. Her face was like a patch of bleak snow-white reeds in autumn.
How was this sending her a thousand li? It was clearly sending her to the Yellow Springs!

A young man was lying on the railing at the top of the memorial archway for Tian Bo Kai Jing. The breeze stirred up the reeds and gently blew the hair on his temples. He was in a very leisurely mood.
He believed himself to be a very optimistic young man, never complaining about the heavens or blaming others. When he was young, he was alone with his mother and suffered from all the supercilious looks. When she died of illness and became as thin as a ghost, he was only nine years old. Before his mother died, she said a lot of things that he didn't understand at the time. The general meaning was that she didn't regret giving birth to him, and didn't hate the father he had never met. Later, he personally dug a grave and buried his mother. Although he was young, he understood that she hoped to see that person for the last time, even if it was just a glance, but she didn't.
When he was thinking about how to not starve to death, a tall and sturdy man with a sharp voice appeared. His voice was the complete opposite of his figure. He was dressed in luxurious clothes that he had never seen before. He looked extremely beautiful, but he always gave people the feeling that he was wearing a luxurious human skin.
At such a young age, he already felt like he had seen a man-eating demon. However, the man only held his hand and said that he would take him home.
Home?
His mother was gone. Where was home?
Then he was taken to a city with very high walls. Through the curtain of the carriage, he was dumbfounded. After getting off the carriage, the guy who didn't speak to him led him through countless city gates. Finally, they arrived at a lake. On the lakeside, there stood a man who looked very much like him. He was golden in color and had snakes crawling all over his body.
Later, he finally knew that it was not a snake, but a dragon. The man who didn't say anything and didn't show any expression after meeting him was wearing a dragon robe. After that, he had two cheap masters. In addition to the man who took him home, the other was an old monk who didn't like to smile. The former had a very good temper. When he saw the man covered in ferocious yellow snakes at the lakeside, he was scared to tears. When the man who would become his great master in the future led him back, he squatted down and whispered to him not to be afraid. After she grew up, she remembered that no matter how mischievous her Great Master Han was, he would only smile at her. It was as if he could do nothing but smile. In that vast and boundless family, everyone would be scared to death when they saw him. During the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was twelve years old, he secretly went to the Hall of Martial Heroes to admire the moon. He was caught and almost beheaded. It was his great master who knelt in front of the man and begged for mercy. Only then did he know that his great master not only knew how to smile, but he also knew how to kneel in front of people. After that, no one stopped him from going to the Hall of Martial Heroes.
He could go anywhere he wanted. Second Master's temper was much worse. He always had countless feather dusters. He talked to him about Buddhism and said that he would be beaten if he lost. He clearly said that he would be beaten if he won. However, there was one time when he touched Second Master's bald head while he was in a daze. Second Master didn't get angry. In fact, before he turned twenty, the truth had already been revealed. However, he didn't want to fight over this and that. Besides, even if he fought, he might not be able to win. So what if his biological father was that person? He was tired of staying in that family where everyone was outwardly united but inwardly divided. In addition, he didn't like that naughty girl Sui Zhu. They fought and scolded each other every two to three days. So, he simply went to Shangyin Academy to enjoy himself. Among the women in the world, he only liked those who were ugly but very attractive. His mother was like that. Even though she was terminally ill and didn't look good, her eyes still made him feel the most intimate. Finally, he had a chance to see the girl with a bad temper. He climbed over the wall and entered the small building. As expected, he was stabbed by a sword. Later, he had no choice but to agree to ten rounds on the lake. If he lost, he lost. Who said that men must win over women? He was very happy to serve his wife for the rest of his life. He wanted her to be comfortable and happy for the rest of her life, without the slightest ripple.
Unfortunately, every time he secretly went to her place to feed the chickens and ducks, he couldn't escape being chased away by the sword. He didn't care. After all, she was his wife. Wasn't it natural for her to be petty and throw a tantrum with her husband?
At the feet of this optimistic young man stood four talisman generals in red armor.
The water armor had already been broken by an old God of Swords who had returned to Jianghu. Although his heart ached, he endured it because the old God of Swords was working hard for his brother-in-law. He didn't even mind leaving a water armor talisman armor behind.
Since he had more or less done his duty, it was time to get down to business.
The main reason he sneaked out of the academy this time was to deliver a message to the King of Jing An, Zhao Heng. The meaning was that the inheritance had nothing to do with Zhao Heng. However, as long as he was willing to help, the Beiliang's share would be given to him.
The King of Jing An was a very smart man. In the past, he didn't have enough courage. This time, he learned to be smart. Once he made a move, he made a big move.
The young man sat up and hung his feet on the archway. He looked over and finally saw the dust on the official road. He smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't blame your future brother-in-law for not being loyal. You must know that the fengshui of this place is excellent."
