Abi stayed alone in the main hall, sitting down for a while, getting up and walking back and forth on his heels, looking in the direction of the door from time to time.

If you don't come back so late, nothing will happen, right?

Since Yan Xi and the others went to the Prince's Mansion, Abi has been waiting for Ouyang Mutian in the main hall, and he has not seen his figure after five or six hours, and Yan Xi and the others have not returned, she is anxious enough at this time, so many frightening things have happened in the past two days, she is afraid that something will happen to them.

"Miss Abi, the sugar gourds have melted, why don't you eat them?" Qing'er brought two cups of tea, and saw that several strings of sugar gourds on the table next to her were sticking together, so she asked Ah Bi curiously.

"This... I don't want to eat it, so if you don't mind, I'll eat it. "Abi is a little weak-hearted.

After Mo Xi gave Ah Bi the sugar gourd, although Ah Bi also blamed herself for being careful, but after Mo Xi and the others left, she looked at those sugar gourds and felt unhappy, and she always thought about buying sugar gourds for Mo Xi in the dark, and then she was really bored and panicked, so she simply put the sugar gourd on the table and didn't eat it.

"Then thank you, Miss Abi. The girl has been standing here for a few hours, let's drink some tea on this hot day, I think the prince and they are almost there. Qing'er said.

"Thank you, Miss Qing'er. Abi went over to pick up the tea, and when she saw the melted sugar gourd, she became even more flustered.

"Grandpa Hu has arrived!" a shrill and loud voice came from the direction of the gate.

"Ah! Grandpa Hu is here. Qing'er hurriedly handed out the sugar gourd that she had just held in her hand and hadn't had time to eat, and pulled Abi out the door.

"Isn't that the person around the emperor?" Ah Bi had never seen Gonggong Hu, but he knew that he was a celebrity around the saint today.

"Yes, Gonggong Hu must have something important here. Qing'er pulled Abi away and explained. She has also been in the Three Kings' Mansion for some days, and she has nothing to do in the Three Treasures Hall on this Hu Gong Fair Day, but whenever she comes, she must have been ordered by the emperor.

"Grandpa Hu is here!" As soon as Ah Bi and Qing'er came out, they saw Hu's mother coming out from the side and hurriedly greeted the comer.

"Mother Hu, is the prince here?" asked Gonggong Hu when he saw Mother Hu.

"The father-in-law came unfortunately, and the prince was invited by the prince to the prince's mansion for a banquet. However, looking at this hour, I think I'm coming back soon. Mother Hu kept staring at Father-in-law Hu's face, and her eyes were very soft and kind.

"Father-in-law Hu is auspicious!" Qing'er, who came over, went up and made a gesture to Father-in-law Hu, and gave him a smile on his face.

"You little girl!" Father-in-law Hu pinched an orchid and tapped it at Qing'er, and then saw Abi behind Qing'er, "How come my father-in-law doesn't seem to have seen such a watery girl?"

Abi lowered her head as soon as her face turned red.

"This is Ouyang Gongzi's personal maid Abi. "Mother Hu has long figured out the identities of these distinguished guests from the Three Princes' Mansion who have been treated well by the prince.

"Yo, I've long heard that Ouyang Gongzi has been ······ all day long "Father-in-law Hu was just about to joke, but he thought that it was inappropriate, so he shut up in time, straightened his clothes and got back to business, "This time, my father-in-law came to serve the emperor's instructions, and the prince is not there, so I'll wait." ”

"Alas, Grandpa Hu, please come in. Qing'er, make a pot of good tea. Mother Hu took Gonggong Hu into the main hall.

"Qing'er, I'll go with you. "Abi is not familiar with the people in this house, if you follow them in, you will feel awkward and strange, so I will chat with Qing'er in the afternoon.

"Okay, let's go. Qing'er didn't think much about it, just thought that Abi was warm-hearted.

During the whole process of serving tea, Ah Bi was thinking about Mother Hu and Father-in-law Hu, and they seemed to be very familiar, but when Mother Hu entered the hall just now, she actually held Grandpa Hu's hand, which made Ah Bi really surprised. I heard that the eunuchs in the palace are looking for their wives outside, could it be that this Mother Hu and Father-in-law Hu are ······ Abi was really curious, she wanted to ask Qing'er about the relationship between the two, but when she thought that she was a newcomer, it was not good to inquire about other people's affairs in private, so she didn't say anything.

Ah Bi and Qing'er came to the main hall, and as soon as they put down the tea, they heard someone outside calling Wang Ye. When Gonggong Hu heard the movement, he walked out of the main hall, only to see Beichen Fengyun and several others walking towards the main hall. Just outside the door, he recognized that it was Gonggong Hu's carriage parked at the gate of the mansion, as well as the guards in the palace, and when he entered the mansion, he saw Gonggong Hu from a distance, so he quickened his pace and walked over.

"Father-in-law Hu, why are you here so late, is it my father······ Thinking of his father who was sick in bed, Beichen Fengyun's heart suddenly sank.

"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, Your Majesty, he's fine. Gonggong Hu hurriedly explained, "The emperor knows what happened in the Three Princes' Mansion last night, and he really frightened the minions, so you are fine, Your Royal Highness." No, the emperor immediately sent his servants. Then look at the few people behind Beichen Fengyun, "These are the Bai brothers and sisters, right?"

Yan Xi and Bai Yu nodded politely, and Gonggong Hu also nodded and smiled.

"Exactly. Beichen Fengyun replied.

"The King of Wind and Cloud took the order. "It was affirmed, and Hu Gonggong spoke fairly.

Beichen Fengyun and the others all knelt on the ground, and Ah Bi also knelt, but the four brothers and sisters of Yan Xi were still standing.

Gonggong Hu stared at the few people standing with strange eyes, looked them up and down, and when he saw that they didn't mean to bow down, he repeated again, "Ahem, the holy decree has arrived." ”

Looking at Yan Xi and the others, they were still standing. Yan Xi and Bai Yu looked at each other, wondering why the old man kept looking at them.

"Miss Yanxi, kneel down!" Qing'er knelt beside her. Yan Xi and the others did not kneel when they saw the holy decree, this is a capital crime of contempt for the emperor's authority, Qing'er was half killed by them.

"Father-in-law Hu, they don't have to kneel, I will explain to my father one day, I believe that my father will not mind. Beichen Fengyun knelt at the front of the crowd, and when he saw that Gonggong Hu was struggling and not announcing the decree, he looked back, and then knew why Gonggong Hu was like this.

"Ahem, this ······ "Grandpa Hu was obviously a little displeased. The Three Highnesses had to kneel down when they saw the Holy Decree, didn't these few small people save the lives of the Three Highnesses, and they put on a show like this. Seeing that Beichen Fengyun was staring at him, how could Gonggong Hu dare to mind the behavior of Yan Xi and the others, and he didn't dare to slack off anymore, so he hurriedly announced, "Pass on the emperor's message, King Fengyun has been away from Beijing for many days, and he will return now." On the night of July 15, 999, that is, the night when the Fengyun King returned to the city, the thieves entered the mansion and wanted to commit injustice, but fortunately they were rescued by the Bai brothers and sisters, and the Fengyun Wangfu was safe and sound. Xuan, the four brothers and sisters of the Fengyun King and the Bai family entered the palace at noon on July 20 to face the saint, and they must not slack off. ”

"Long live my emperor. The crowd shouted in unison, and then they all stood up.

It seems that there is no need to leave the Three Kings' Mansion this time. Somehow, Yan Xi felt that a stone somewhere in his heart had fallen to the ground, and his whole body and mind were relaxed.

"Gonggong Hu, has my father's condition improved?" asked Beichen Fengyun.

"Since I met His Royal Highness the Third Highness yesterday, the emperor's illness has been cured for the most part. Come to think of it, the emperor will be sick when he thinks about it deeply. Gonggong Hu looked at Beichen Fengyun and said meaningfully.

Beichen Fengyun was stunned, and his thick eyebrows furrowed under the mask, "Grandpa Hu has traveled so far, let's go into the house and drink tea." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, it's just that the slave has been with the emperor for many years, and when he leaves, there is no one caring around the emperor, so the slave has to go back to serve the emperor quickly, so he won't stay more." Hu Gonggong said.

"There is no caring person", these words made Beichen Fengyun's heart heavy. I'm afraid that no matter how intimate the care of others is, my father will always be lonely. Since the disappearance of the mother······

"It's okay, dark night, send Grandpa Hu. Beichen Fengyun said.

"Don't bother the Dark Commander, there are people waiting for the minions outside, just have them. Gonggong Hu hurriedly waved his hand, how could he be a slave who could afford to be sent off by the dignified Beichen Kingdom Secret Guard.

"Then Grandpa Hu walks slowly. Beichen Fengyun also knew that others were kind-hearted, so they didn't force it.

Gonggong Hu left, and the few guards who came with him also left.

"It seems that a few nobles are going to stay in the cold house for the time being," Beichen Fengyun looked at Yan Xi and a few people and said, "At noon today, a few people responded to the request of Prime Minister Pan to visit Pan's mansion, and now my father and emperor have announced a few more to enter the palace, I'm afraid a few are still staying." ”

"Ouch," Bai Lian suddenly spoke, his tone was very strange, "just right······ ！”

Bai Yu hurriedly stopped Bai Lian secretly, then looked at Yan Xi, and replied: "The emperor's order cannot be violated, since this is the case, our four brothers and sisters will disturb your mansion for a few more days, and we will be taken care of by the prince." ”

"Bai Gongzi is polite, a few people have also drunk a lot of wine just now, it is windy tonight, it is not appropriate to stay outside, a few of you should go back to the room to rest." Beichen Fengyun said, and then looked at Mother Hu, "Mother Hu, pick a few girls with quick hands and feet to serve a few distinguished guests." ”

"Don't bother!" Yan Xi hurriedly declined.

"A few distinguished guests have just come to the Three Kings' Mansion, and they are not familiar with all parts of the mansion, so if there is a lack of something, it will be more convenient to have a girl by your side. Hu's mother said.

"This ······ , then it will be troublesome for Hu's mother. Yan Xi reluctantly agreed. What Hu's mother said makes sense.

Everyone went back to their rooms, and Qing'er was the most discerning girl among the many maids in the Three Kings' Mansion, so she was selected by Mother Hu to wait for Yan Xi. Qing'er came to Yan Xi's room and made a bed and water for Yan Xi, making Yan Xi so awkward and embarrassed.

"Your name is Qing'er?" Qing'er was making the bed, Yan Xi was very embarrassed to sit on the edge of the table, so she simply found something to say.

"Hmm. Qing'er replied.

"You see you're only fifteen or sixteen, right?"

"Well, fifteen. ”

"Who else is there in the family?"

"There are only my father and mother at home, and there are no other relatives. ”

"Oh······. ”

When the gossip was over, Yan Xi couldn't find anything to ask. Twisted his neck, a little sore. These days are tiring, and when I finally get to the imperial city, I always have trouble getting up, and I haven't been able to relax much when I want to write here. Looking at the clothes on his body, it looks like he hasn't changed in days.

"Miss Qing'er, can you please get me some bath water?" Yan Xi was embarrassed to bother her.

"Absolutely. Qing'er made the bed, "It's good for Miss Yanxi to call me Qing'er, I'll go and bring it to the girl." With that, he went out.

"Whew~~~~!" Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, she was really not used to being given things for her.

After a while, Qing'er got things done, she called a few housekeepers to come directly with half a bucket of water, and also thoughtfully sprinkled some petals on the water. Yan Xi thanked her and asked her to go back to rest directly, and then she started to take a bath comfortably.
