When Xia Hao heard this, he inspected the people around him and said in confusion, "The people of Tianshan have always acted mysteriously, and it is true. The witch has been coming to Dayong for a while, but I don't know that there is also a spirit girl coming. Who is the Spirit Maiden, is she here?"

Wu Yan didn't respond, but the eyes of everyone gathered on him had already given Xia Hao an answer. She slowly raised her eyes, just falling into Xia Hao's gaze looking at her.

It was a scrutinizing gaze, not as sharp as a knife, but it was also breathless. However, Wu Yan's heart was calm and free, and he did not feel restrained because of this, so he naturally saluted and said hello according to the rules, and let the scrutinizing gaze look him up and down.

Xia Hao didn't keep his eyes on Wu Yan for long, he quickly retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Such a naïve girl, if she only knows how to have fun like Chang Le, it would be ......better to be innocent and lively."

Thinking that he was dissatisfied with his father's loss in front of everyone, the princess Xia Hong, who was named Changle, pouted and hurriedly said, "Where do people only know how to have fun, but when you are busy with state affairs, your sons are also busy studying, and when your sons are resting, you also meet your father and emperor resting, but it is not the sons who have become the sons and daughters, and they teach the sons in public, and the sons are very wronged." ”

Xia Hao rarely showed a smile on his face, and turned his head to look at Xia Hong, "Where did I say that yours are not, obviously I just praised you for being innocent and lively, you have little opportunity to mess around, be careful that your mother will punish you for copying the notebook when she goes back." ”

"Obviously, the father and the emperor hinted that the mother concubine punished the son, and the son's handwriting has been practiced well enough, so it's better to change something else......"

Because of the nonsense of Princess Xia Hong of Changle, it was originally a solemn atmosphere of monarchs and ministers, but it suddenly became a relaxed scene of funny words between father and daughter, which alleviated the solemn atmosphere in the plum garden.

The musicians resumed playing music again, Xia Hao sat in the middle of the chairman's position, Wu Ying still sat on the left of the chairman, Xia Hao on the right, and he ordered Xia Hong to sit on his left, Mei Qianqian second, and Mu Yunyun again.

No one mentioned the topic just now, Xia Hao didn't say anything anymore, and people could only sit back in their positions nervously, Xia Zihe also sat back in his original position, drinking or laughing as usual, and didn't look at Wu Yan again, but when Wu Yan raised his eyes, he met Xia Ziyan's gaze a few times, but he didn't know what he was looking at, obviously when his eyes were staggered, he felt that the other party was looking at himself, but the other party looked like he was looking at something else, and the result seemed to be thinking too much, a little ...... Flatter yourself.

Wu Yan simply didn't look up again, and saw that the fruit on the table was served in an amber bowl the size of a palm, the lychees were round and bright red, the grapes were fresh and plump, and the watermelon was chilled with ice cubes and then cut into small pieces. Wu Yanben was very happy to eat lychees, but when he dialed the second one, his fingers slipped, and the lychee bones that revealed half of the snow-white flesh rolled from the ground into the water, alarming the koi for a while. When she was unwilling to peel the fourth lychee, the lychee she had just taken a bite of fell to her body, and the sweet juice left a semicircle mark on the skirt. So Wu Yan never touched the bowl of lychees again, and even gave up the grapes that had to be peeled, and concentrated on eating the bowl of sweet and delicious watermelon.

As a result, the watermelon was not finished yet, but a palace man handed a small jade porcelain bowl with a lid on the bowl, and he didn't know what it contained. Seeing that Wu Yan was only concerned about eating chilled watermelon, the palace man pushed the jade porcelain bowl in front of Wu Yan and said in a low voice, "Please taste it." ”

No longer waiting for Wu Yan to speak, the palace people retreated with a smile, Wu Yan was inexplicable, opened the jade porcelain bowl only to find that it was a bowl of crystal clear lychee pulp, but I don't know who it was, she looked up at Mei Yuanzhong, everyone was still talking and laughing, no one paid attention to the thoughts of the girls in this small corner, it was because of this bowl of lychee meat,—— shock, warmth, gratitude, maybe a trace of tenderness for this.

The bell ringing in the distance rang at this moment, and Xia Hao, who was at the banquet, slowly stood up and walked towards the gate of the garden, as if he was about to leave early.

Everyone got up to send them off, Mei Qianqian was the queen and was in the position closest to Xia Hao, and when she was about to bend down slightly, her hand was held.

"You are at fault for tonight's incident, but I also made you angry, even if you have been punished, anyway, you will only do it to others, so let's go over this matter, okay?"

The hand that was holding Mei Qianqian left her wrist and stroked Mei's Qianqian's sideburns. The wind is cooler, maybe a little louder, a little more urgent, like the sound of unbridled laughter when you are young. She is old, and she has wrinkles around her sideburns that have been touched, and she has to cover up with an extra layer of fat powder when she dresses up in the mirror every day. The man opposite has also entered middle age, in recent years, because of worries about national affairs, there is always a layer of thick fog between the eyebrows, and his expression is becoming less and less joyful, no longer the appearance of being young and prosperous, a cloak, a back, in a word, he called himself lose half of his life. Now, what's so good or bad.

"The state affairs are busy, I am busy with the previous dynasty, but fortunately, there is still my good queen who takes care of the harem for me and relieves my worries. Today is the Queen's birthday, I have already prepared a gift, every year is not as good as before, I wish to cherish it every year. ”

Colorful fireworks suddenly burst into the silent night sky, clusters, beautiful to the extreme, but fleeting. The attendants carried the gifts into the garden, all of which were rare treasures in the world, Mei Qianqian read them one by one, and Xia Hao stood beside him, smiling at himself, and said something "I can't accompany the queen anymore, and I will make up for it in the future", so gentle, gentle like a dream.

The tenderness in Wu Yan's heart was revealed again because of the warmth between the emperor and the queen, and a smile appeared on his face. As a result, this time the smile condensed on his face in the next second, and Xia Hao, who had finished talking to Mei Qianqian, turned his head and looked directly at Wu Yan.

- "The little girl has this appearance at a young age, and I hope you are not a person who looks like this. You are the spirit girl of the Tianshan Mountains, and you are different from the other girls here. If I ask you a question, if there is a fire at the city gate and it affects the fish in the pond, what would happen if you were the fish in the pond, how would you answer?"

Everyone's eyes were once again on the girl in the corner, and the girl had a smile on her face, saying that she was as sweet as a petal, but not like a petal that finally fell with the wind, that she was as bright as the sun, but not as dazzling as the sun and could not look directly, like a soft moon, no, the moon would be too cold and too arrogant, she was like everything, and she was not like anything, like the beauty of all things, because she was young and flawless. But what impressed the people in the garden was what she said: "The city gate is on fire, and the fish in the pond do not know how to escape, so they will be affected." So I'm not curious, I'm not a bystander, I'm not conformist. ”
