On the fourth day, she finally ran out of ideas. The little monk, Bei Bei, was also on the verge of going crazy. The little girl could only sigh and groan as she walked to the carriage that Xu Fengnian had prepared for her. The carriage was filled with her favorite snacks and fruits. She put them all on the bill, so the next time she saw Xu Fengnian, she would have to pay him back. As for whether or not the copper coins in the bowl under her father's bed were enough, she didn't care at all. The little monk, Bei Bei, was also about to go crazy.

As for whether or not the copper coins in the bowl under her father's bed were enough, she didn't care.
The little girl saw that His Royal Highness didn't seem to be getting on the carriage, as if something was missing. She anxiously said, "Hsu Fengnian, you're not going to see me off?"
Hsu Fengnian raised his head and gently said, "No, I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist snatching you back once we leave the city."
The little girl immediately became happy. See, Hsu Fengnian still cared about her as a close friend. If he couldn't see her off, then so be it. He was still young, and she was still young. She wasn't afraid that she wouldn't have a chance to see him off in the future. Besides, Hsu Fengnian said that he would come back to her home to play in two years at the latest. The little girl was so happy that she forgot that she hadn't told His Royal Highness where she lived or what temple it was. There were countless temples in the world. No matter how resourceful His Royal Highness was, if he didn't have a clue, how could he find it? She sat in the car and lowered her head to play with a string of red sandalwood prayer beads in her hand. 108 beads symbolized the destruction of six roots and six kinds of worries in three lifetimes. This was a sacred object of Buddhism that His Royal Highness piously asked for from an eminent monk of Mount Jiuhua. The master of that eminent monk just happened to pass away at the age of 108. He held this string of Buddhist "horse rope" and chanted countless sutras. Naturally, it contained a kind of great merit that could only be understood.
It could be seen that the heartless His Royal Highness cherished this little girl from the bottom of his heart.
That night, the old soldiers in the city were filled with mixed feelings as they listened to the brilliant Beiliang Soul Suppressing Song. The little girl ran to His Royal Highness's couch and was pulled into his arms. She wasn't shy at all. Listening to the song and smelling the scent of alcohol, she felt her heart was at peace.
Before boarding the car, the little monk clasped his hands and bowed to Hsu Fengnian. Hsu Fengnian smiled and bowed back. The little monk was more familiar with the ways of the world than the little girl. He said many words of gratitude from the bottom of his heart. From the beginning to the end, the little monk didn't have any aversion to this notorious "Heavenly" playboy of Beiliang. Perhaps it was because he had heard Li Zi talk about how good and smart Hsu Fengnian was before they met, so he had a good first impression of him. In addition, during this period of time, he only saw His Royal Highness playing with Li Zi. He didn't see him being domineering or evil. In the end, he even brought him a few Buddhist scriptures that the temple lacked from that big attic. The little monk really couldn't hate him.
The carriage moved slowly. The little girl lifted the curtain and waved her hand vigorously.
Hsu Fengnian smiled and waved back.
When she could no longer see Hsu Fengnian's slender figure, the little girl sat back down on the embroidered stool. She was a little annoyed and her heart was empty.
The little monk asked, "Li Zi, why didn't I see the coachman you mentioned, Old Huang?"
The little girl, who was originally listless, immediately became radiant and said, "Old Huang, he's the most interesting. When he smiles, I can see that he's missing two front teeth. Old Huang loves his ivory comb the most. He always hides it, afraid that Hsu Fengnian will sell it for money. But he's willing to let me comb his hair. Anyway, Old Huang and I have a good relationship!"
As long as Li Zi was in a good mood, the little monk was in a good mood.
Even if Li Zi was in a good mood because of Old Huang or even Hsu Fengnian, the little monk didn't care. Stupid Nanbei.
The little girl suddenly used her finger to knock the little monk's head and scolded, "Who told you to call me Li Zi?!"
The little monk held his head and said, "Hsu Fengnian always calls you that."
The little girl became angry from embarrassment and said, "Are you him?! Are you the same? "
The little monk said timidly, "Okay, thing."
The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "You're not allowed to call me thing! Wu Nanbei, you stupid Nanbei! "
The little monk tactfully shut his mouth. She was really angry. Otherwise, she wouldn't have called him by his full name, Wu Nanbei. This was because her master used to hold onto Li Zi's braid and earnestly taught her that monks shouldn't talk about their names, Taoism, or longevity. She was not allowed to call her family by their original names before they were born. Alas, her master didn't have any strong points. This was the only good thing about him.
Li Thing.
Wu Nanbei.
Although the little monk's face was reserved, he was actually thinking happily in his heart: You're Thing, and I'm Nanbei. As long as we're together, everything will be fine.
Poor Xu Xiao could only appear in his mansion when the little girl and the little monk left the city. He sat with Hsu Fengnian in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Only the father and son were there. Even Chen Zhibao wasn't present.
Da Zhuguo had six adopted sons. Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, Ye Xizhen, Yao Jian, Qi Dangguo, and Chu Lushan. Their personalities were very different. His Royal Highness also had a subtle relationship with them. Hsu Fengnian didn't get along with Chen Zhibao since they were young. In the past, he didn't have a good impression of Yuan Zuozong and Qi Dangguo, the two invincible generals. In the past year, their relationship had improved so much that they even drank together a few times. As for the scholarly general Ye Xizhen, his relationship with His Royal Highness was always mediocre. However, Yao Jian, who was proficient in the Green Pouch Technique, was always able to talk to Hsu Fengnian. The young heir liked to watch Yao Jian gnaw on soil and seal acupoints the most. He always found it very interesting. Needless to say, the round Lu Qiuer bowed and bent his knees as if he was Hsu Fengnian's biological son. No one doubted that if His Royal Highness wanted him to kill his family's wife and children, Lu Qiuer would frown.
Xu Xiao said proudly, "I met your second sister near the city gate. This time, she didn't scold me. Isn't your father awesome?"
Hsu Fengnian said gloomily, "She didn't scold you because she was sulking with me. She didn't take you seriously at all."
Xu Xiao, the dignified Da Zhuguo, was acting like a village farmer. He said shamelessly, "I don't care about that."
Hsu Fengnian said angrily, "You don't even know how to hold your second sister back. In any case, she can spend the New Year at home!"
Xu Xiao curled his lips. "Then wouldn't I be asking to be scolded?"
Hsu Fengnian shook his head. He had a stomach full of anger. He took a deep breath and asked, "I performed that illegal song and dance two days ago. Is it alright?"
Xu Xiao said embarrassedly, "It's fine, it's fine. How can I run into the emperor's death every time?"
Hsu Fengnian snorted.
Xu Xiao could only laugh along.
When Hsu Fengnian was fourteen, the late emperor died suddenly. During the period of mourning, His Royal Highness danced and sang at the Yellow Crane Tower. All of Beiliang was shocked and dumbfounded. Da Zhuguo, covered in dust, rushed back to the prince's mansion and was about to beat this bastard of a son. In the end, he couldn't bear to do it. He only dragged out the two hundred people from the music house and beheaded them as a public display. At that time, the newly ascended emperor showed a merciful side. He only verbally reprimanded Hsu Fengnian a little, using the reason that he was young and ignorant to suppress the criticism of the civil and military officials. Only three years later, he had the intention of making the naughty son of Beiliang his son-in-law. The whole world was in an uproar and couldn't understand.
Hsu Fengnian asked, "How's my second sister's swordsmanship?"
Da Zhuguo smiled. "It's still a little lacking compared to the Master Nangong you attracted."
Hsu Fengnian was surprised. "I know my second sister's swordsmanship isn't bad, but it's actually this good?"
Da Zhuguo said proudly, "Wei Xiong, this girl, always wants to be first in everything she does. That turtle bastard nicknamed Huang Longshi will sooner or later be used as a stepping stone by your second sister."
Hsu Fengnian carried Xiu Dong on his shoulder and held the back of his head with both hands. He leaned against the red and gold pillars of the pavilion and said lazily, "Why don't I put my second sister's face together with Bai Hu 'er's? After thinking about it, only the two of them are suitable."
Da Zhuguo rolled his eyes. "If you say this to either of them, you'll be asking for a beating. A Red Hou and a Spring Thunder, you'll suffer! "
Hsu Fengnian sighed. "You're right. We can't beat them."
Da Zhuguo lowered his voice. "I have an expert in my hands. If you have the ability, take him."
Hsu Fengnian frowned and asked subconsciously, "How high?"
Da Zhuguo stretched out his two hands. "In the whole world, he's really, really in the top ten. Forty years ago, he was in the top three. Twenty years ago, he was definitely in the top five. "
Hsu Fengnian smiled bitterly. "Isn't he even higher than Old Huang?"
Xu Xiao smiled.
Hsu Fengnian asked, "Where did you hide him?"
Xu Xiao pointed at the Tide-listening Pavilion and said mysteriously, "He's suppressed under the pavilion. The reason why I built this pavilion and why your master is here is because of this once-in-a-century old monster. "
Hsu Fengnian shook his head. "With my inexperienced skills, do you think I'm going to court death?"
Xu Xiao nodded. "There's no rush. That old monster's evil tendencies haven't been wiped out. Anyone who goes now is indeed courting death. "
Hsu Fengnian muttered to himself, "Then I won't dare go to the Tide-listening Pavilion in the future."
Xu Xiao smiled. "You can go."
Hsu Fengnian said resolutely, "I won't go even if you beat me to death!"
