Liu Qingxuan and Xue Ji walked with gentle steps, graceful manners, and noble and generous manners. They were indeed disciples of Yuexuan, who was said to have cultivated Tiandou court etiquette.
Soon Liu Qingxuan took Ma Hongjun, Shui Bing'er and Xue Ji into a private room on the second floor.
"Princess Xueji, Hongjun, Bingbing, please take your time and chat, I'll excuse you." Liu Qingxuan said, closing the door of the private room and leaving.
"Sister Qingxuan, go and do your work." Xue Ji smiled lightly, waved to Liu Qingxuan, turned around and winked at Ma Hongjun and Shui Bing'er and said, "Mr. Ma, Miss Shui, I don't know what you want to do with Xue Ji alone.
Woolen cloth?"
Shui Bing'er smiled slightly, "Didn't the princess already guess it?" Ma Hong smiled and nodded.
Xue Ji's beautiful eyes narrowed and she said in surprise, "Are you really my aunt's daughter? My cousin?"
"Princess, what do you think this is?" Shui Bing'er's jade hand touched the ice jade phoenix pendant on her waist, and a water-blue light flashed through. It was made of purple gold, with a swan painted on one side and an emperor engraved on the other.
The purple gold token with the word Ji appeared in her hand.
Seeing the token in Shui Bing'er's hand, Xue Ji's eyes widened in an instant, and she quickly bowed to Shui Bing'er, "I have met Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess."
Ma Hongjun also quickly followed suit and bowed. After three or four years, he was no longer the ignorant rookie he was at the time. He naturally understood the meaning of the token held by Shui Bing'er.
Putting away the eldest princess's token, Shui Bing'er stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help Xue Ji, and said with a smile, "Princess, there is no need to be so polite. My mother is gone long ago. I keep this token for nothing more."
Just prove your identity."
Xue Ji shook her head gently, "Cousin, don't you know? The eldest princess order in your hand represents the eldest princess. Since the emperor's uncle has not taken back the aunt's token, it means that the order is as good as the order.
Princess. Cousin, please stop being a princess and call me Jiji."
Shui Bing'er was stunned, looked at Xue Ji, looked at Ma Hongjun, and said in surprise, "Is there such a thing?"
Xue Ji nodded, and when she saw Ma Hongjun also nodded, she said in surprise, "Cousin, who is this Mr. Ma? You don't even know what the eldest princess order in your hand means. Mr. Ma, what are you doing?
Do you know?"
Shui Bing'er blushed and said hesitantly, "He, he is your cousin-in-law, my boyfriend, and my fiancé. I don't know why he knows, maybe his father told him. Yes.
Is that so, Xiaojun?"
Xue Ji was even more surprised now, "Cousin-in-law? Cousin, you already have a fiancé, why have your uncle and father never talked about it? Even in these years, apart from knowing that you are a person, we don't even have any information about you.
No?"
"Ji, let me explain this to you." Ma Hongjun said.
Xue Ji frowned and said in surprise, "What did you call me? Why do I feel weird?"
Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly, shook her head slightly, and heard Ma Hongjun say, "Princess Xueji, this is not the point. You should listen to me explain to you. Bing'er is still young, so she doesn't know many things yet.
But when we came out, my father-in-law told me."
"My cousin is still young? Why do I feel that you are younger than your cousin?" Xue Ji looked at Shui Bing'er and Ma Hongjun and retorted, then gently pulled Shui Bing'er beside her and pointed to her head.
, whispered, "Cousin, is there something wrong with my cousin-in-law? Is it reliable or not?"
Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly and said softly, "Xiaojun, he acts like an inconspicuous monkey in front of his relatives and friends. This shows that he regards you as one of his own. Please don't take it off, cousin Xueji."
."
Xue Ji nodded and chuckled, "Um, cousin, Xue Ji didn't mean to say bad things about you, so please don't take it personally. By the way, what were you going to say just now?"
Ma Hongjun twitched his lips, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I don't care. Bing'er's father has told me everything you want to know, do you still want to hear it?"
"Yeah!" Xue Ji nodded and said with a smile, "Cousin, please tell me, Xue Ji listens."
Ma Hongjun said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that what I tell you today will be kept secret. No one can tell it to anyone except your uncle, including your father. Can you do it?"
Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes narrowed and she looked at Ma Hongjun with a confused look on her face, but she didn't say anything.
Xue Ji pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Although I don't know why, since my uncle told you and there is no need to hide it from your uncle, then I agree. Cousin-in-law, please tell me."
Ma Hongjun said, "Ji, do you know what your cousin's martial spirit is?"
Xue Ji gently tapped her head with her finger, and then said with a confident face, "What else could it be? Either I inherited my uncle's ice swan, or I inherited my aunt's ice heart. Could it be that it could be from our Tiandou royal family?"
Isn’t the martial spirit swan successful?”
"Congratulations." Xue Ji looked happy. She knew that she must have guessed correctly. However, then she saw Ma Hongjun waved his right index finger and chuckled, "You guessed wrong. In fact, your cousin's martial spirit
It's the Ice Phoenix, which is also the Ningshui Feiluan. When I say this, you should be able to guess some reasons, right?"
Xue Ji lost her voice and said, "What did you say? Ice Phoenix? My cousin's martial spirit is actually the Phoenix, the King of Birds? Cousin-in-law, you are not lying to me, are you?"
Ma Hongjun smiled and said, "Why did I lie to you? Your martial arts spirit is not known to anyone."
Shui Bing'er nodded and said, "Xiaojun is right, my martial spirit is indeed the Ice Phoenix."
"Did he see something? This is impossible." Xue Ji's eyes narrowed and she thought to herself, changing the question about her, "You mean the emperor's uncle and uncle did this to protect their cousin?"
Shui Bing'er looked at Ma Hongjun thoughtfully and heard him say, "You are right. My father-in-law did this just to protect Bing'er and allow her to grow up safely. Therefore, in addition to Emperor Xue Ye,
That’s why you don’t know her specific situation.”
Shui Bing'er suddenly realized that she now understood all the things she had not understood in the past. No wonder Ma Hongjun stopped her when she wanted to enter the palace. It turned out to be this reason.
"Oh~" Xue Ji nodded and said in surprise, "If that's the case, why did you tell me again? And why did you ask my uncle to agree to you being the son-in-law of our Xue family? Uncle
And why should I tell you this instead of telling my cousin?"
Ma Hongjun smiled slightly and glanced at Xue Ji's back. Without Liangyi Divine Eyes, there would be no abnormality in her back. He laughed softly and said, "Of course I am your cousin-in-law. I want good looks, money, and strength."
You have strength. Also, isn't your martial spirit unique? That's why I told you." Ma Hongjun said while giving Xue Ji a cool pose.
Xue Ji was startled and looked at Ma Hongjun in silence. Shui Bing'er smiled helplessly and said, "Cousin, don't listen to his nonsense. You should also know something about my mother's martial spirit. My martial spirit is
Ice Phoenix, and his martial spirit is Fire Phoenix. In fact, he is the destined person that my mother told me before she died. When he was in Tianshui, his cultivation and conduct passed his father's examination, so my father
Only then will I tell him."
"Ice phoenix? Fire phoenix?" Xue Ji was startled, walked up and circled around Ma Hongjun a few times, and said softly, "Can't I see that your cousin-in-law is quite interesting? Okay, I admit that you are mine.
Cousin-in-law. But even if you are who your aunt said you are, and your martial soul is the Fire Phoenix that is a perfect match for your cousin, if you really want to marry your cousin, you still need to be recognized by your uncle and your father.
You also need to have a title so that the ministers in the court and the nobles in the city can shut up. By the way, cousin-in-law, I wonder which sect disciple you are? Or an imperial earl? A viscount? Where is your fiefdom?"
Ma Hongjun touched the tip of his nose, "I understand this even if you don't tell me, but I am not a sect disciple or noble. I am a commoner and do not have any titles or fiefs."
Of course, Ma Hongjun did not tell Xue Ji that he was the young dean of Shrek Academy, the guest elder of Qibao Glazed Sect, and the deputy sect leader of Wudang Tang Sect.
Xue Ji was stunned and looked at Ma Hongjun in surprise, deeply shocked by him, "What? You are actually a commoner? How can a commoner possess the Fire Phoenix Spirit?"
