The boat was shaking on the canal, with the curtains closed, and it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night.

Xu Roujia woke up again, but she didn't want to open her eyes.

She was not dead, Zhou Qi saved her at the last moment, but Xie Jin died and committed suicide that night.

Xu Roujia didn't know how Zhou Qi dealt with Xie Jin's body, or threw it away, or put it on another boat as spoils to transport it back to the capital. She didn't care about anything, and she didn't care about how Zhou Qi planned to deal with her. When she was trapped on the boat, Xu Roujia kept living in a daze.

Zhou Qi never showed up again. She fell seriously ill and was sick. She was surrounded by a maid arranged by Lu Ding to serve her.

Someone pushed the door and Xu Roujia continued to huddle in the bed.

The man quickly walked to her side and reached out to pull her quilt. Xu Roujia frowned. How dare this maid move around today?

"Don't pretend to be dead, get up and eat quickly, don't expect me to serve you!"

The girl's unreasonable urging sounded in her ears, and Xu Roujia was stunned. This voice was not from that maid!

Xu Roujia looked to the side in surprise and saw a 14 or 15-year-old girl wearing a used apricot red shirt, with fair face and a willow eyebrows standing up, and she was staring at her angrily.

Xu Roujia had the illusion of dreaming and asked blankly: "What are you?"

Lu Yilan frowned, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes became more obvious: "Don't tell me that you are confused and don't even recognize me."

Xu Roujia:...

With a lot of doubts, Xu Roujia's eyes turned around and realized that this ship was not the one arranged by Lu Ding for her. Perhaps because she was concerned about her identity, the prison ship Lu Ding detained her was decorated like a boudoir of a rich lady, and the hull in front of her was made of old objects.

Looking around, seeing the girl in red shirt staring at her, Xu Roujia couldn't help but look down. After looking at her, Xu Roujia opened her mouth directly.

This is not her. She is obviously just a thin boy's body. She is wearing a dark gray cloth shirt and is loose!

As if he saw a ghost, Xu Roujia suddenly touched her face, dry and without two taels of meat. When she touched her hair, she turned out to be a man's bun!

What's going on?

"A Tao?" Lu Yilan gradually realized something was wrong, and a hint of panic flashed across her unruly face. Yesterday, she quarreled with A Tao and accidentally pushed A Tao off the boat. Fortunately, the boatman was well-behaved and rescued A Tao in time, but A Tao was infected by cold. After a few days of illness, her brother gave her a cold face. If A Tao's condition worsens, her brother is afraid that she will beat her, right?

Although she is the elder brother's sister, A Tao is just an orphan that his parents picked up and adopted, but his brother has always been partial to A Tao!

Because he was afraid of his brother, Lu Yilan put away his anger and asked nervously: "A Tao, do you really don't know me?"

Before Xu Roujia could speak, the curtain of the cabin was suddenly lifted open. Someone walked in and said, "Yilan, is A Tao awake?"

Xu Roujia looked in the voice and met a thin and slightly black boy's face. He had a pair of long and black eyebrows, his eyes were bright, and his eyes were facing each other. The man smiled at her.

At first glance, Xu Roujia felt shocked. After closer inspection, Xu Roujia suddenly felt that this young man was very kind-faced!

Xu Roujia observed the other party again. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a fine cloth dress. He was not the kind of poor people, but he was never rich. What surprised Xu Roujia the most was that the boy gave her a strong sense of familiarity. He seemed to have seen her not long ago, but he couldn't remember his name for a while.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside the boat: "Lu Ding, there is the ferry ahead. You brother and sister quickly pack up and get off the boat later!"

The boy responded.

Lu Ding, the cousin and confidant of Zhou Qi's mother clan?

Xu Roujia was shocked. Looking at the boy again, wasn’t it Lu Ding, who was several years younger? But his figure was not as strong as it would be in the future, and his eyebrows were not as cold as it would be a few years later.

So, on the way to the capital by Lu Ding, she just slept for a night. After waking up, she became Lu Ding's younger brother A Tao?

Xu Roujia really couldn't believe such a ridiculous thing. Even the Lu family had no time to worry about why she wanted to name a boy A Tao. She wanted to suspect that this was a dream, but everything in front of her was particularly real, and even the faint smell of the river water floating in outside the window was so clear.

"Brother, look at A Tao, it seems that it is not right." Lu Yilan spoke in a low voice, interrupting Xu Roujia's thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ding walked quickly to the bed and looked at Xu Roujia with concern.

Before Xu Roujia could get out of the blow, she unconsciously clutched the clothes on her body.

This cloth shirt is wide and large, and Xu Roujia's large neck is exposed. Compared with her slightly tanned neck at this time, her shoulders are as white as jade.

When Lu Ding saw this, he looked away in time and explained awkwardly: "A Tao, brother has only prepared a set of men's clothing for you. You should wear your brother's clothing first, and wait until you arrive in Beijing before changing back to women's clothing." A Tao is so beautiful that he traveled thousands of miles north this time. In order to avoid causing trouble, Lu Ding thought of a way to let A Tao dress up as a man.

Women's clothing...

Xu Roujia instinctively grabbed her collar and looked in.

Lu Ding turned around suddenly.

Lu Yilan was stunned!

Xu Roujia was in a complicated mood. Her body was definitely not her. Her breasts were not so small. But small breasts were better than becoming men.

After putting down the collar, Xu Roujia noticed Lu Ding's reaction.

Xu Roujia bit her lip. Although her movements just now were very unconventional, she suddenly changed a lot, so Xu Roujia really didn't care about so much.

Recalling Lu Ding's words just now, Xu Roujia looked at the boy's stiff back and asked, "Brother, are we going to the capital?"

Lu Ding's ears turned red, and he said to her back: "Yes, my aunt is Prince Chun's aunt, who lives in the capital, have you forgotten?"

Of course Xu Roujia didn't forget.

Lu Ding, Prince Chun’s mansion, and his uncle’s concubine. At this time, Xu Roujia was extremely sure that she had really become A Tao, the cousin of Zhou Qi’s mother tribe, and she also became brothers and sisters with Lu Ding, who had personally arrested her!

.

After three days, Xu Roujia completely accepted the reality that she became A Tao, and then Xu Roujia fell into confusion.

Next, how should she live?

As the niece of King Chun's legitimate niece, Xu Roujia knew a little about everyone in the Chun's mansion, but it did not include Zhou Qi's biological mother, Lu. She only knew from the chats of the palace maids that Lu was a poor girl selling tofu in a small town, and she lost her favor shortly after entering the mansion.

As for the three brothers and sisters of Lu Ding, their identities were probably too low and even the palace maids didn't bother to mention it. It was not until Xie Jin rebelled and Lu Ding was ordered to pursue them that Xu Roujia learned about the person Lu Ding from the conversation between Xie Jin and his subordinates.

Lu Ding finally met Lu Yilan, A Tao...

Wait, Xu Roujia suddenly remembered! She had a serious illness when she was thirteen years old. When she recovered, Princess Chun went to the palace to visit her, praising her for being lucky to recover from her illness. Then she felt sorry for her grandmother that a cousin in the mansion was not lucky and went all the way to the palace, but she died halfway before she arrived.

Because Princess Chun said that the poor cousin was the same age as her, Xu Roujia had this impression.

Remembering this, Xu Roujia suddenly realized that no wonder she had never seen Lu Yilan or A Tao when she went to visit Prince Chun's Mansion. Lu Yilan was fifteen years old when she entered Beijing. She must have married early, but A Tao's life was miserable and she couldn't even see the capital. Perhaps, A Tao died of this disease on the way to Beijing? Then she is fine now, don't you have to die of illness? But, if she survives on behalf of A Tao, what will happen to her in the palace?

Various problems piled up in my mind, and Xu Roujia's head hurts when she thought about it.

She rubbed her forehead in pain.

When Lu Ding saw this, he asked worriedly: "A Tao feels uncomfortable?"

Xu Roujia lied absent-mindedly: "No, the sun is so hot, I'm so hot."

It was almost noon in mid-May, and it was really hot.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ding walked to Xu Roujia considerately and used his body to block the sunshine for the little girl.

Lu Yilan was unhappy and asked her brother: "I'm hot too, why don't you block it for me?"

Lu Ding frowned and said, "Stop causing trouble, A Tao is younger than you."

Lu Yilan turned her head angrily.

Lu Ding withdrew his gaze and saw Xu Roujia looking at him blankly. Lu Ding smiled and touched the girl's head as comforted.

Facing Lu Ding's gentle smile, Xu Roujia was a little envious of such brother-sister relationships and a little guilty. If Lu Ding knew that his adopted sister had been occupied by her former British wife, would he strangle her to death? Lu Ding was cruel in his previous life, and he might not be a good person now.

This is also the reason why Xu Roujia carefully pretended to be A Tao. She didn't want to be beaten to death by Lu Ding as an evil ghost.

"Actually, it's okay, it's not that hot anymore." Xu Roujia was guilty and could not enjoy Lu Ding's brother's care with peace of mind, so she quickly ran forward a few steps.

The little girl is still as sensible as before and gives in to her sister everywhere. Lu Ding feels even more pity, speeds up and hides Xu Roujia's shade again.

Lu Ding's ancestral home is Yangzhou, and his parents died one after another. He and his two sisters rely on their cousin's family to take care of him. Later, the cousin married a new aunt, who was sarcastic and mean. Lu Yilan was quite polite to Lu Ding and Lu Yilan, but he treated A Tao as a maid, and did not care about warm clothes or fullness. This year he even had the greed idea of ​​selling A Tao.

Lu Ding couldn't bear it and finally decided to come to the capital to join his aunt.

My aunt was just the concubine of King Chun. Lu Ding was not sure that King Chun would definitely take in their brother and sister, but he really had no other way.

After walking on foot, it took about half an hour before the brother and sister arrived in front of Prince Chun's mansion.

The guards of the royal palace were strict, and the mature Lu Ding looked at the guards with hesitation.

Xu Roujia was not afraid, but she was A Tao now and could not behave too abnormally, so she hid behind Lu Ding and Lu Yilan, waiting quietly.

"The palace is in the important place, and idle people are not allowed to approach, so leave quickly."

The leading guard looked at them with a serious expression and began to drive them away.

Xu Roujia followed Lu Yilan and shrank his head as scared.

The sisters could only rely on him. Lu Ding suddenly was no longer afraid. He stepped forward and saluted to the guards and said, "This Jun Ye, our brother and sister are from Yangzhou. They are the nephews and nieces of Aunt Lu's family in the mansion. Because their parents died of illness, they had to come and join. If it is convenient, please help me pass it on."

Aunt Lu’s family?

The leading guard was slightly shocked. The concubines in the mansion, Aunt Lu, are the most unpopular now, but no matter how unpopular, Aunt Lu has given birth to a fourth master. Once a woman has a son, her status will be different. Look at the three brothers and sisters in front of her, although they are wearing coarse cloth clothes, they all look outstanding. The young man is thick eyebrows and bright eyes, and the two girls are graceful, especially the young one, who is definitely not a beggar.

"Go there first and wait." After a brief thought, the leading guard pointed to the wall next to him and ordered.

Lu Ding hurriedly thanked and walked over with Lu Yilan and Xu Roujia.

Seeing that they stood up honestly, the leading guard stepped into the palace and arranged for the servants responsible for passing the messages to report to the masters.

The sun was so bright that it was dazzling. Xu Roujia looked at the majestic plaque in front of the door of Prince Chun's mansion and narrowed his eyes slightly.

At this time, my uncle had not yet sat on the dragon throne, and my aunt, Princess Chun, was not the queen.

Thinking of seeing Princess Chun in a while, maybe even seeing Xie Jin, who came to the palace as a guest, Xu Roujia's heart felt like she was stabbed by a needle, and it hurts one after another.

In her previous life, Princess Chun did not like her niece very much. Xu Roujia guessed that it might be her grandmother, and her uncle was too kind to her and stole the light of Princess Chun's biological daughter Zhou Xuan. The two of them were not close at first, but later Princess Chun asked her grandmother for her grandmother to be betrothed Zhou Xuan to Xie Jin. The grandmother bluntly said that Xie Jin was her grandson-in-law whom she liked, and Princess Chun disliked her even more.

Xu Roujia has no feelings for Princess Chun. She only likes Xie Jin, who is both civil and military, and is a dragon and phoenix figure. However, Xu Roujia never expected that she had the determination to die with Xie Jin. However, Xie Jin was so cruel that she wanted to kill her with her own hands because of a scam arranged by Zhou Qi. That scene seemed like yesterday, and there seemed to be Xie Jin's hand tightly clamping her.

His eyes were sour and Xu Roujia raised his head slightly.
