I looked at Zhan Lu's beautiful face, thinking that she would be by my side since I entered the mansion, whether it was for King Xiao's instructions to take care of her wholeheartedly, or her contract with me, in short, she has been really protective of me for most of the year. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His heart was soft, and he didn't want to use other methods to test her, so he said bluntly: "Zhanlu, you are the same age as Chifu." I have recently asked for grace for you, and if your family already has a suitable family, I will let you out. Or I'll help you choose someone to marry. I just don't know what you mean?"

Zhan Lu listened, and did not bow her head shyly as when I said it before when I heard it with Chifu, and said a word, but with Zhaoxun in charge, her beautiful eyes were quickly filled with tears.

Her reaction was so unusual that I didn't know how to comfort her. I had to raise my face at Chifu.

Chifu understood, hurriedly handed over a handkerchief, and helped Zhanlu sit on the small pestle. Worried that Zhan Lu's gaffe made it difficult for the maid to convince the public after seeing it, he asked Cuinong and Kou'er to withdraw and stay outside.

Then I smiled and said, "It's so good, it's not like crying with joy." You used to be polite and steady, but now that you are like this, I don't know what to do. Don't say it's me, it's the prince, and I want to hear what you mean. If you have any sadness, just say it. ”

Zhan Lu choked up from crying, and calmed down for a while before sobbing and said, "The maid knows that Zhaoxun and the prince are for the good of the maid. But in the servant's heart, he really couldn't let go of Linjiang! When the servant thought of him, his heart felt uncomfortable. lost his honor in front of Zhao Xun. ”

I'm confused with Chifu.

Who is Linjiang?

But I understood what Zhan Lu said.

asked Chifu to hand over a cup of hot tea to Zhan Lu, and when she calmed down a little, I said slowly: "I understand what you mean." That being the case, wait until you feel better, and then discuss the matter. ”

Zhan Lu choked up and responded.

The voice of Cuinong and Kou'er, who were guarding outside, sounded: "The prince is back." Say hello to the prince!"

King Xiao walked in from the outside with a spring breeze on his face.

Seeing this, Zhan Lu got up and saluted and retreated.

I asked King Xiao who Linjiang was.

King Xiao was silent for a moment, and said in a somewhat heavy tone: "Song Linjiang is the son of my grandmother. Four years ago, I was seriously injured and died in order to save me. Zhan Lu and he have been in love since childhood, and the original wedding date has been set. I didn't expect ......."

"Was the prince in distress four years ago?"

King Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly: "The prince who has never encountered assassination, accidents and other dangers, I'm afraid that there is none." ”

"Who did it?"

He Shi Shiran sat down, didn't even raise the corner of his eyes, calmly as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him, "The eyes and ears in the palace said that the emperor said in front of Liu Xiang that morning, and when he named me the prince, he gave Xu Xiang's daughter to marry me. I was ambushed that night. If it weren't for Linjiang, I would be the King of Loyalty. ”

Sure enough, it was Liu Xiang and the prince again.

I thought with some resentment, and then asked, "Isn't there any news in the palace about the abolition of the crown prince?"

King Xiao shook his head, and said excitedly: "Father will not abolish the crown prince so easily. Empress Yuan died early because of him, and his father has always felt guilty and tolerant of the prince. The king estimated that his father had suppressed Liu Xiang and his minions, and the courtiers speculated that it would damage the prestige of the second emperor's brother, the prince, and most of them would be removed from the grounding of him in a few days. ”

I suddenly laughed: "Since the prince knows his father very well, why don't you just do what he likes." If you ask to be spared the prince's grounding, your father will be glad that someone has handed you such a ladder. ”

King Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "That's what I mean." Anyway, my father has already made a decision, so it's better to let this king be this good man!"

He stretched out his right hand and wrapped my left hand in the palm of his hand, rubbed his thumb on the back of my hand a few times, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of this king's interpretation flower, and I have such a heart." ”

He looked at me and smiled.

In the evening, after being urged by King Xiao to finish her meal early, Kou'er served hot tea.

I took the lid of the tea bowl and sipped the tea leaves, and said to him with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble!"

Xiao Wangqi said: "What?"

"Didn't the prince ask Du Yiming's steward to arrange a trick to celebrate the concubine's birthday?"

King Xiao was surprised, and then laughed. "Xiaoguan, can you not be so smart sometimes! Wait for a while to make you have a surprise! You will definitely like this birthday gift. ”

I stretched out my hands to hold him separately, and said slowly: "The prince is here with me, it is already a birthday gift that surprises the concubine." ”

As he was talking, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the courtyard gate.

King Xiao took me by the arm and asked someone to open the door of the inner courtyard. Outside the courtyard gate is a very open space, on the left hand side of a weir pond, on the right hand side is a miscellaneous forest, poplar is the majority. Near the courtyard gate is a six-foot-wide road paved with large bluestones, which winds its way to the village gate.

At this time, it was already completely dark, but from a distance, it seemed as if a fire dragon was winding towards the courtyard from the direction of the village.

And with the rough and bold tune, the fire dragon gradually approached.

At the head is a unicorn lantern danced by two people: dragon head, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horse hooves, and ox tail, which are vivid. It was followed by hundreds of people holding torches, so it looked like a fire dragon from a distance.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the song of the dancing unicorn lantern suddenly changed, from masculine and warm to long and gentle. In the woods on the right, a fire phoenix flew out, which was also composed of many lanterns. While making the appearance of spreading his wings and soaring, he gradually lowered and danced with the unicorn.

I stroked my palms and smiled: "What a Lin Feng Xiangrui!"

When King Xiao saw that he liked it, he also smiled: "It was originally a trick of rural farmers when they were not working, and I was originally worried that you were too vulgar, but now I like it." ”

I smiled and said, "The concubine naturally likes it." ”

Leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear: "But what the concubine prefers is the hidden dragon flying next to her!"

King Xiao smiled but said nothing.

After a while, Fang said: "This king will always call you Ruyi." ”

I glanced at him and looked down and laughed silently.

I woke up early the next day.

The village Zhuangzi was much colder than the palace, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that the tip of his nose was also cold.

But the smell of earthy smell mixed with grass and trees outside the house is refreshing.

Seeing me sit up, King Xiao pressed me into the futon again, stretched out his hand to hug me, and said, "You are not a little daughter-in-law of a peasant family, there is no mother-in-law who wants you to set rules, what are you doing when you get up so early!"

I rubbed my head, found a comfortable position near his shoulder socket, and said with a smile: "Lord, can you be greedy for concubines?"

"Huh?"

"Although the prince has sent Lin Feng Xiangrui yesterday, the concubine still wants the prince to teach horseback riding. The concubine is greedy and wants two birthday gifts. I wonder if the prince can agree?"

King Xiao opened his eyes slightly and looked at me, then closed his eyes again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, I pouted and said, "The prince is so stingy!"

Only then did King Xiao say slowly, "Well, teach you that." In fact, Xiaoguan of the lonely king can be more greedy. This king will give you three birthday gifts!"

I half-lifted myself to look at him, pursed my lips and smiled, "What's the third one?"

"Kirin sends!"

As soon as the words fell, I had fallen into a hot embrace.

His breath came from above.
