It's late at night, and the stars are twinkling in the sky.
Star Picking Tower is located in the most flowery area of Chaoshan City, beside Haichao Lake. It is a simple and simple three-story building that rises against the water. It is solemn and elegant at the same time. It is the auction pavilion of the Royal Company of Longxiang Dynasty.
This place is close to the Kyoto of the Longxiang Dynasty, so there are many royal nobles who come in and out of here.
When Ling Xiyue and Nalan Xueyi arrived, the auction had already begun. Under the leadership of the servants of Zhaixing Tower, they went directly to the VIP table of Tianzi mentioned by the Snow Envoy.
In order to allow everyone to see the things on the booth better, the lights in the bustling auction house were completely dimmed. Only on the central display table, a beam of light fell from the sky, mixed with moonlight, and cast from the translucent dome of the Star-picking Building.
, you can see the stars twinkling all over the sky.
Zhaixinglou, the building is as its name suggests.
The second floor is a VIP seat, with only four rooms for Tiandi Renhe.
Those who can come here are either rich or noble, and of course this includes the Xue Clan and the Huangfu Clan. In order to avoid being disturbed by some noisy people, although these ancient forces are buried deep in Zhongzhou, they still have a bright side.
of noble status.
"Young Master?" Xue Shi was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming in, then hurriedly went up to greet him, "Greetings to the Young Master."
They just mentioned it, and they didn't expect that Nalan Xueyi would make a special trip over for such a trivial matter.
There were about ten people in the private room. In addition to those who were obviously dressed as disciples, there were also a man and a woman with sharp eyebrows. They looked at the person with hidden edge. After seeing the two, they also came to greet Nalan Xueyi.
Nalan Xueyi raised his hand to signal the Snow Clan envoy not to be polite, then looked at the middle-aged woman with a bit of surprise in his eyes, "Aunt Pei, why are you here? I haven't heard the Snow Clan envoy talk about it before.
"
The somewhat unexpected voice was also a bit warmer, light and gentle.
Therefore, Ling Xiyue also took another look at the middle-aged woman. For Nalan Xueyi, she must be an extremely close person if she could have a gentle tone from him.
"Aunt Pei!" Su Bei jumped over, grabbed Rong Pei's hand and called excitedly.
"Eh." Rong Pei responded with a smile.
This silly boy is always silly and happy.
Nalan Rongpei smiled, his gentle brows showing a bit of joy, and turned to look at Nalan Xueyi, "I have just arrived in Chaoshan. I just heard that you, Xueyi, have also arrived. I thought you would go directly to the snowy area."
Go, don't stay, I didn't expect that just as I was saying it, you came over."
Look, there is someone beside me. This is a thousand-year-old ice tree in bloom...
"That's it." Nalan Xueyi nodded lightly, then looked at Ling Xiyue, raised her lips slightly, and introduced to Rong Pei, "Xiyue, the mountains are covered with wood, and the moon is clear and bright." Then he pointed to Rong Pei.
The other party gestured to Ling Xiyue again, "This is Aunt Pei, my mother's sister."
Rong Pei is not the queen's biological sister, but just a foster sister. Just like the relationship between Ling Xiyue and Ling Lang, the Queen of the Snow Clan has never married, so she has never talked about getting married. She has always been guarding the Queen of the Snow Clan as a
A maid.
It can be said that she is the most passionate person, but she suffers from the pain of those who have been waiting for her.
In fact, when she first entered the door, Rong Pei noticed the young man next to Nalan Xueyi. She was really surprised, because she knew Nalan Xueyi's character best.
Like a stubborn stone that has not changed for thousands of years, it is still covered in snow. Although he respects his teachers and treats everyone with courtesy, he is really indifferent and has an ice-cold temperament. He has no friends and no love for others.
In Subei, there wasn't even anyone to talk to.
Of course, he doesn't like to talk either.
But the way he looked at the young man next to him, how should I put it, it was as if the thin layer of ice on his body had turned into water in an instant, with a bit of warmth. This was what surprised Nalan Rongpei the most.
.
Ling Xiyue nodded a little, "I've met Aunt Pei."
"Little girl, hurry up and don't have to be polite, we are all one family." Rong Pei looked at Ling Xiyue with a smile.
This must be the child of Huangfu Haofeng and Qin Xue, the emperor's concubine that the Huangfu family had gone through so much trouble to find.
Ling Xiyue was still very confident in her disguise skills, but she didn't expect to be seen through at a glance. She was stunned, and felt a little awkward after hearing those words. She didn't know what to say back, so she could only laugh and tease her.
I don't know why, but Ling Xiyue has no sense of belonging to the identity of Nalan Xueyi's fiancée.
Hearing Rong Pei's words, the tall and tall man who was standing next to him with an expressionless face stiffened for a moment, and reacted instantly, "This, this is..." xdw8
"You stupid guy, you are just pretending to be stupid!" Rong Pei rolled his eyes at him.
It’s all so clear, yet you still don’t understand?
As if Huangfu Cangzhi suddenly understood, he immediately clenched his fists with both hands and knelt down on one knee, "I see you, young master!"
Ling Xiyue turned her eyes to look at Nalan Xueyi. She was not very familiar with the elders of the Huangfu family on Wangdao, let alone those outside.
When Rong Pei saw Ling Xiyue's look, she immediately smiled like an aunt, and looked at her with amusement. Huangfu Haofeng's daughter was really extraordinary, and she made people like her at first sight, which was not comparable to Huangfu's simple words.
Thinking back to the beginning, she didn't like that girl Huangfu Qianyu.
It's just that the engagement between the two clans is there, so she can't say anything. Last time, it even caused trouble in the Snow Clan's hall. If it wasn't for the sake of the Huangfu family, she would have kicked him out with a broom!
Look at this handsome boy again, oh no, he is a handsome girl. He and Xue Yi are a match made in heaven!
Needless to say, Xue Yi's eyes were so full that no matter how hard she tried to hide them, she almost couldn't stand it anymore. Look at the trusting look in this girl's eyes towards Xue Yi... I'm afraid it would only be a matter of time before she fell in love with Xue Yi.
thing.
It seems that this time, the Snow Clan is preparing for a happy event, something that everyone will be happy about!
As soon as Ling Xiyue turned around, she met Rong Pei's "scorching" looking eyes. She didn't know that the other person had already imagined a big drama in her mind, but she felt more and more weird, and the smile at the corner of her mouth froze.
stiff.
Before Nalan Xueyi could speak, Cang Zhi understood quickly this time. His expressionless poker face turned into a dignified and respectful one, and he lowered his eyebrows, "This subordinate is the commander of Qingyu Hall, and was ordered by the Six Lords to garrison Chao Chao.
Mountain branch, Huangfu Cangzhi pays homage to the young master!"
Several disciples nearby also immediately knelt down with him.
Huangfu Cangzhi, the royal branch of the Huangfu family, is like the lord of a city.
Ling Xiyue nodded thoughtfully and said lightly, "Get up, you don't have to pay so much attention outside."
The people from the Huangfu family are really together with the Xue clan.
"yes!"
Cang Zhi stood up.
"Stop standing, sit down quickly." The smile on Rong Pei's face became brighter and brighter.
"Young Master, Young Master Nalan, please come this way." Cang Zhi stepped aside and signaled Ling Xiyue and Nalan Xueyi to go to their seats. After the two sat down, they looked through the thin gauze.
, you can clearly see the auction items on the display table downstairs.
Seeing Cang Zhi and Rong Pei standing next to them, Ling Xiyue also motioned for them to sit down. In order to ease the awkward and weird atmosphere, she casually asked, "Are there any good items in the auction today? Do you like anything?
