Legitimate Daughter of the Minister

"Eldest Miss, Servant Bai Wei …"

"Eldest Miss, Servant …"

"Eldest Miss, Servant's Artemisia selengensis …."

Everyone introduced him in a respectful manner until the last person said, "Eldest Miss, Servant Lv Zhi …"

When Lian Si Yue heard the last voice, she put down the bowl in her hands and raised her head. She saw maidservants kneeling in front of him with a water like silver red coat and indigo vest, all of them with respectful expressions, but this Lv Zhi however had a calmer and more composed expression than the others, especially her eyes. Although they seemed respectful, they were calm without any ripples, not like a servant who only knew how to lower her head.

Lian Si Yue saw through the most hypocritical aspect of the world.

She glanced at Lv Zhi indifferently and instructed, "Bai Wei and mama tai will be staying in the inner room, the rest of you wait outside."

"Yes." Everyone stood up and returned to their respective seats. Lian Si Yue's gaze was fixated on the back of the snow twig, and then slowly moved down, stopping at her feet.

After they left, she got up and walked to the window to look at the Begonia flower under the window. Although the autumnal equinox was approaching, the Begonia flower was still flourishing with leaves, causing her heart to freeze, she suddenly remembered that she had not seen Lian Jue for the past few days, and asked:

"Eldest Young Master has been here for the past two days."

Qing Dai stepped forward, "That day when young miss was drunk, Eldest Young Master did not come to visit again after leaving this place."

"Oh?" Lian Jue had always been attached to her, so it was rare for him to suddenly disappear like this.

"Servant heard that Master invited experts to teach Young Master martial arts. Eldest Young Master needs to read and learn martial arts, maybe he is extremely busy." Jiang Xiang said from the side, and her eyes shone a little when she mentioned Lian Jue.

Lian Si Yue raised her head and looked at the sky, at this time, there were no clouds in the distance, the sky was clear, she suddenly became interested and said, "I will go and see him."

All the way to Lian Jue's Wen Hua Yuan, before he even entered the courtyard, he heard the sound of people training their swords — —

"The young master, he..." Just as Jiang Xiang was about to speak up in excitement, she raised his hand and stopped her.

"You may leave."

Lian Si Yue stood at the door, looking at the young man in white who was practicing his sword, his gaze was like a torch, firm and cold, holding onto a treasure sword, his sword techniques were sharp and ruthless, his techniques were ever-changing, although he was not close, but he could already feel a strong Sword Qi, only then did Lian Si Yue realized, that Lian Jue was already so powerful, her face slowly revealed a smile.

But, as she looked, her heart suddenly jumped, she realised that something was amiss with Lian Jue, the sword technique looked sharp and fierce, but was actually … His aura was in disorder —

What's wrong? Did he have something on his mind?

She stood there all the time, quietly watching him practice the sword, watching him practice until his forehead was covered in sweat and his gown was soaked through.

Lian Jue retracted his sword, and turned to look at Lian Si Yue, his eyes flickering.

"Elder sister …"

Lian Si Yue walked forward with a smile on her face and took out a handkerchief from her sleeves. She looked at him seriously and wiped the sweat on his forehead gently.

The two of them stood under the banyan tree. The silhouettes of the sunlight fell on their bodies, giving them a feeling of purity and beauty that would last for many years.

Lian Jue looked at Lian Si Yue. When the wind blew and his long hair brushed against his eyes, it seemed as if there were thousands of words in his eyes.

Lian Si Yue felt this gaze, and her hand paused, and she asked: "Jue Er, do you have something on your mind?"

Lian Jue suddenly held Zhu Le Ta De's hand, causing her to stop wiping his sweat, and asked: "Big sister, will you leave me?"

Lian Si Yue was startled, "Jue Er, what happened? Why did you suddenly ask such a stupid question?"

"Answer me." Lian Jue, on the other hand, was like a sincere child, insisting on an answer.

Lian Si Yue raised her eyes and looked at him, and said: You are my brother, how can I leave you, I will never leave you.

"If... Not my brother? " Lian Jue paused, and an undetectable sense of loss flashed past his eyes as he asked.

"Jue Er..." Lian Si Yue looked at him in surprise.

"Haha, it's fine. I was thinking that if I were the elder brother, I would be able to protect you even better." Lian Jue suddenly burst out laughing.

Lian Si Yue was startled, then laughed: "Truly mischievous."

The haze in Lian Jue's eyes seemed to have disappeared in an instant. He casually gestured with the treasured sword in his hand and said, "Master said that my sword technique has improved very quickly. Elder sister, should I teach you?"

"Jue Er taught me? "Of course." Lian Si Yue happily agreed. Only when she was with Lian Jue would she be able to have a pure and innocent heart, and release her childish nature.

"I have a lot of weapons. I'll take you to pick them." Lian Jue led Lian Si Yue and happily entered his weapons room. Inside were many high grade weapons.

Lian Si Yue knew that Lian Jue was Lian Yan Qing's only son so he did not hold back when it came to nurturing Lian Jue.

It was also because of this that Auntie Xiao and the others treated Lian Jue as a thorn in their side, and wanted to use such a cruel way to get rid of him.

After looking around the weapons room, Lian Si Yue shook her head and said in a pitiful manner, "These weapons are too much of a burden to me, I might not even be able to lift them up."

Lian Jue pondered for a moment, then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he took down a dagger from his waist, handed it over to Lian Si Yue with both hands, and said:

"This is a treasure that I brought along with me, and I'm giving it to you now. Although it is light and nimble, it is extremely sharp, and can cut through metal like mud."

The dagger was small and exquisite, with a huge ruby inlaid on the handle. It shone under the sun and was extremely beautiful.

Lian Si Yue reached out and took it, looking at it carefully, "I really like that."

"I also have a name for this dagger. It's called Yueyue." Lian Jue introduced.

"Chu Yue? What a beautiful name, worthy of this sword. " Lian Si Yue fondled the dagger, feeling that she was fondling it more and more.

When the two of them arrived outside the room, Lian Jue stood in front of Lian Si Yue and began to teach her moves and moves.

"The most important thing about this short weapon is that you have to learn how to use the fastest speed possible to deal the most fatal blow to your opponent."

Lian Si Yue was very perceptive, she quickly mastered the positions she had taught him.

Lian Jue stood at the side, staring at her as she practiced every move. When the wind blew, little white pear blossoms would slowly fall, and she seemed to be immersed in a field of moving snow. Those little white flowers floated into her hair, and his clothes and eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting.

However, Lian Jue's gaze was slowly filled with an unnoticeable sadness. He did not know if the wind would continue blowing from this direction, and did not know if Pear Blossom would continue falling like this next year.

"Lian Jue, look, is this right?" The joyous voice brought his thoughts back to reality. He raised his head and looked over, only to see Lian Si Yue looking at him with a smile in his eyes.

Such a clear Lian Si Yue was truly rare.

"Very good. You're even better than me." Lian Jue calmed his emotions and walked over.

"Jue Er..." At this time, Lian Yan Qing walked into the Wen Hua Yuan. When Lian Si Yue and Lian Jue saw him, they turned around and respectfully said —

"Yes." Lian Yan Qing nodded in agreement, but her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Lian Si Yue indicated with her mouth towards Lian Jue and Lian Jue understood. She stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what business does Father have to suffer such a loss? Jue Er originally split father's worries."

Lian Yan Qing sighed, and said, "Jue Er, you are still young, and are unable to help. All you need to do is seriously practice martial arts and read, and not worry about your father."

"Father, are you worried about matters of the court?" Right now, the princes were secretly fighting for power, and the current situation in the middle of the imperial court was the most uncertain of all. As a Prime Minister and the elder brother of the Consort Lianshu, Lian Yan Qing had to tread on thin ice.

Lian Yan Qing did not expect this daughter of her, who seemed to be confused in the past, to instantly see through his thoughts. He sighed, and said, "Even though father is on the same level as Prime Minister, but I'm also like a tiger accompanying a king. The few princes seem calm on the surface, but they're actually watching him like a tiger in the dark.

Lian Si Yue said, "Rites: Moderation is a dao, in which a gentleman is kind but not kind, being strong and correct; being neutral and not relying on, being strong and correct. Since the Emperor had not been decided yet, why not stay neutral for the time being, be impartial and only try his best for the Emperor, and only make plans when the time was right?

Furthermore, according to what my daughter thinks, most likely, the Emperor is also secretly observing whether or not there are people among the crowd who are forming alliances with the Prince. Those ministers who are openly and secretly supporting a certain prince might one day be convicted by the Emperor for forming a clique here. "

Originally, Lian Yan Qing's heart was filled with contradictions, but Lian Si Yue's words made her feel enlightened, as if she was enlightened.

He couldn't help but look at his daughter with admiration, nodding, "What you said is true. Yue Er, I didn't expect that you would have such an insightful understanding of court affairs."

Lian Si Yue smiled humbly, "Father is a noble Prime Minister, but he was actually very clear about the situation in his heart. It's just that in the situation, he also has to weigh the benefits from all sides, making it difficult to make a decision for the time being."

"Father, you don't know. Big Sister is much smarter than me. Just now, when I taught her sword dance, she instantly learned it. She's even faster than me." Seeing that Lian Si Yue had finally gotten praise from her father and was not stingy with praising his sister, Lian Yan Qing praised her once again.

"Jue Er, stop spouting nonsense." Lian Si Yue reprimanded softly.

"I'm speaking the truth, sister is the best …" Lian Jue laughed in embarrassment and scratched his head.

However, Lian Yan Qing sighed and said, "It's just a pity about Ninth Prince."

Ninth Prince? Feng Yun Zheng? Lian Si Yue's heart trembled. What happened to him? She suppressed her surging emotions and asked: "How is Ninth Prince?"

Lian Si Yue only knew that her mother, Consort, had been demoted for no reason and that because of that, he had been implicated and could not enter the palace for up to ten years. It was only until the late part of the emperor's life that the was pardoned from entering the palace, allowing him to return to the imperial palace. At that time, the battle to seize the direct line of descent had already reached its conclusion, and Feng Qian Yue had obtained victory in this battle.
