Tang Lingjun left early, rushed to Xie Xuan first, and handed the turtledove to Xie Xuan, "Oh, it's fragrantly baked, you still want to eat the second one." I also sprinkled the ingredients, Miss Xie can eat it with confidence. ”

Han Jue also walked over in a few steps, "Xuan Xuan eats this, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which suits your taste." ”

Two tempting turtledoves were placed in front of her, Xie Xuan was hungry for a while, but she didn't want to eat Han Jue's roast, so she wanted to take Tang Lingjun's turtle dove. Who knew that Han Jue suddenly leaned over and grabbed her wrist, stopping her movements-

"That one spilled too much mustard, and no one could eat it."

Forehead? Xie Xuan looked at Tang Lingjun in surprise, and saw that there was a teasing smile in his eyes, presumably he really put a lot of mustard.

Sure enough, he is stubborn and does not change, not at all like the son of a big hero! Xie Xuan turned his head and pulled Xie Jun to stand up, and saw that Han Jue still didn't give up and handed the turtledove to her, "Don't you want to taste it?" ”

"My sister and I bake it ourselves." Xie Xuan pouted, pulled Xie Jun to the edge of the fire, roasted turtledoves under the guidance of Han Caiyi, and fed on his own.

Later, Han Jue and Tang Lingjun looked at each other with a turtledove, Tang Lingjun had always been stubborn, and the turtledove had too much mustard sprinkled on it to eat, so they looked around to see if they could trick the child into eating it. As if he could see through his thoughts, Han Jue raised his right hand, and the turtledove in his hand flew out with the wire inserted in it, and nailed it firmly to the trunk, the turtledove trembled up and down, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Tang Lingjun was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Han Jue had already stretched out his left hand to hold his turtledove, his right hand stretched out to hold his neck, and between the flips of his wrist, he sent the turtledove coated with mustard to his mouth.

Of course, this turtledove can't be eaten, Tang Lingjun gritted his teeth and struggled to get out of Han Jue's control.

But Han Jue is old and strong, and he also has an advantage in size, and his arms are firmly locked on him, just like a copper hoop and an iron hoop. Tang Lingjun was in a hurry, so he raised his leg and kicked at Han Jue, Han Jue then responded, the upper half of the two were tied together, and the lower half of their bodies were entangled and frozen, kicking the leaves and dust under their feet for a while, and the turtledove naturally couldn't eat.

Han Caiyi looked interesting, handed the turtledove in his hand to Xie Xuan to help roast it, stood there clapping his hands, and laughed.

Fortunately, Tang Lingjun is not a mediocre person, the foundation of the family heirloom plus the strain skills he has practiced after being naughty and mischievous over the years, and his arms are free, after fighting for half a day, he successfully forced Han Jue to stop and deal with it.

With this stop, Tang Lingjun got a gap, and he didn't care about revenge, so he fled to a distant place with a roar, and went around a corner to roast turtledoves by the fire again.

Han Jue was no longer entangled, stood on the spot and laughed a few times, turned around and took his intact turtledove, and bit it up.

*

The ripples of Yuhu Lake at night are calm, and the willow trees and old locust trees are planted all over the lake, at this time the branches are decorated with colorful palace lights, and the colored paper pasted on the top folds the candlelight, and it becomes a colorful world. As if in advance to the lantern festival on the night of the New Year's Eve, all kinds of exquisite and interesting palace lanterns are hung up, such as fish, such as rabbits, such as eagles, such as tigers, such as begonias, such as peonies, such as plum blossoms, such as bluegrass, but these palace lanterns can make people look at most of the night.

This night the wind is clear and the moon is bright, the stars are shining, and there is a bunch of blazing bonfires in the open space by the Yu Lake, which illuminates the night sky as bright as day.

Emperor Yuanjing, with the queen and the two concubines, sat on the high platform, leaning over to look at the beautiful shadow of the Qingyi in the bonfire, where the palace lanterns meandered at the water's edge, reflecting the glass world on the surface of the lake.

Most of the ladies gathered near the high platform to watch the graceful dance between the bonfires on the fruit spots on the long table.

The sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra is as promised, and when standing on the shore of the lake, the distance is appropriate, just listen carefully.

Xie Xuan and Han Caiyi held hands and walked slowly, and Xie Jun and Xie Jiu admired the lights side by side - Xie Shan seemed to be tired during the day, and only cultivated in the residence at night, but did not come. Because Yue wanted to follow Mrs. Han to the south of the high platform, she asked the three sisters to take their maids, but she didn't have time to watch.

After all, it was night, Emperor Yuan Jing was afraid that people would fall into the lake, so he set up a guard along the shore of the lake a few steps, so that although men and women were interspersed, no one dared to be light and misbehaving at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and between humility and courtesy, it was orderly. Han Jue and Tang Lingjun on the opposite side came side by side, and happened to come over when they saw Xie Xuan and the others.

Tang Lingjun smiled mysteriously on his face, "There are too many people here, it's too crowded, do you want to go to a fun place?" ”

"Where?" Han Caiyi was very interested.

"It's in the Jiaotai Hall in the south, where you stand tall, and the scenery is the same as what the emperor sees, and you don't have to squeeze around to see these stake-like guards, right, cousin?"

Han Jue, who sometimes had to be a "stake-like guard", nodded expressionlessly.

Xie Xuan was a little hesitant, "I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"It doesn't matter." It was Han Jue who spoke, "Although the hall has been cultivated over there, in fact, no one usually goes there, but it is a good place to watch the scenery." We just went to enjoy the scenery, so it didn't hurt if we didn't make too much noise. ”

Xie Xuan took a look around-Tang Lingjun, Han Jue, Han Caiyi, Xie Jun, Xie Jiu, plus the three maids they brought, there were only nine people. Except for Tang Lingjun, everyone else here is familiar with it, and there will be no big trouble, this is Tang Lingjun......

The suspicious eyes were handed over, and Tang Lingjun immediately assured, "The young master knows how to measure, what are you afraid of!" ”

Does he know how to measure? Xie Xuan almost laughed. Before he could say anything, Han Jue next to him persuaded again: "I'm afraid that there will be more people coming here, when the painting boat on the lake will start, the people coming and going are too complicated, it is better to go to the Jiaotai Palace, the view is the best." ”

His persuasion made Xie Xuan feel puzzled, as if Han Jue insisted that she leave the shore of the lake.

couldn't help but glance back at Xie Jun, and saw Xie Jun nodding and saying, "Since they all think it's good, it's okay to go over and take a look." Han Caiyi next to him was already eager to try, Xie Jiu also looked very expectant, Xie Xuan no longer hesitated, took Han Caiyi's hand and began to walk, "Then let's go early." ”

Standing on the jade in front of the Jiaotai Palace, the scenery is really different.

The palace lights in that area are dotted one after another, but when you see the willow branches on the shore of the lake, the beautiful shadow shines on the water, the starlight and the moonlight and the palace lamp shine into the water, it is really a different scenery. It was the first time for several people to come here, and they all felt novel, or they looked around the pavilion, or watched and played around, and they were quite interested.

It's just that after all, there are few people on the high platform and it is empty, and occasionally the night breeze blows, which is a little cool in the mid-autumn night.

Xie Xuan rarely goes out after dark, this time thinking about the warmth of the day, he didn't bring a cover, and when he stood in the wind, he felt that his shoulders were slightly cold, and he was a little nervous. She was originally holding on to the white marble railing, but at this time she felt that her tentacles were cold, so she withdrew her hand stupidly, and suddenly felt that someone was standing behind her, and when she turned around, it was Han Jue.

Han Jue didn't put the cloak on her this time, but just stood behind her to enjoy the scenery, and opened the cloak by the way. He was already slender and tall, and the cloak was stretched out, so light that Xie Xuan could be covered inside, as if a trace of wind could not leak in.

Xie Xuan looked at the colorful lights in the distance, but Han Jue's breath behind her could not be ignored, so that she couldn't enjoy the scenery with peace of mind, and wanted to turn around and leave, but she bumped into his chest.

Han Jue held the white jade railing with both hands, and deliberately pressed the cloak under his palm, propping it up into a small tent, so that outsiders could not see the situation. The lights in the distance are brilliant, only Yan Shan is here, Xie Xuan raised his head and looked at him, hazy, only feeling that his face was handsome, and all the sons and grandsons in the capital could not compare to him.

But so what? The son is like jade, but he is not a good person.

Xie Xuan stared at Han Jue, and his voice was polite, "Brother Yuju, please let go." ”

"You're still hiding from me?" Han Jue bowed down and looked into her eyes, "I'm still angry." ”

"Why should I be angry, I just want to look elsewhere." Xie Xuan's voice was faint, and he turned his face away from him.

"Oh." Han Jue whispered, "But I don't want to let you go." Unlike the joking tone of the other gentlemen's teasing girls, his voice fell into his ears deeply, mixed with some kind of affection, as if he was confiding in his heart, and he was extremely sincere.

Breathing on Xie Xuan's cheeks, Han Jue resisted the urge to bow his head and kiss the past, and the guilt and love in his heart were like fire and water.

The eyes of the two were intertwined, and Han Jue just stared at Xie Xuan leisurely, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if silent words came. It seems that the two of them were alone in their previous lives, Xie Xuan concentrated on enjoying the scenery or eating pastries or in a daze, occasionally glancing over, Han Jue also looked at her like this, with a slight smile in her eyes, like countless words.

Gradually, Xie Xuan blushed a little for some reason.

She bit her lip and tried to push Han Jue's arm, wanting to leave.

"Xuan Xuan, if I did something wrong in the past, I will repent and forgive my sins. You are my wife, and it was set by my grandfathers, even if my father agreed, my grandfather did not, you should still count. Han Jue leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I will protect you until I grow up until I leave the pavilion and marry into my Han family, and treat you well better than anyone else." ”

Xie Xuan was surprised when he heard the words "repentance and forgiveness", but when he heard the words "marry into the Han family", he felt that the anger he had just been born in was back, and he couldn't help it.

Marrying into the Han family, there is no husband, only that mother-in-law?

Xie Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Han Yuju, why do you think I will be willing to marry into your Han family?" Yes, I like to play with Caiyi, but I don't want to step into the door of your Han family! ”

Han Jue was obviously stunned, she called him "Han Yuju", not "Brother Yuju", which meant that she was really angry. Just like in her previous life, she called him Brother Yujie when she was coquettish, called him Han Er when she was angry, and when she was really angry, she would call him Han Yujie by name and surname.

What surprised him even more was the latter sentence, she didn't want to step into the door of the Han family?

Her friendship with Han Caiyi is the same, but she doesn't like the Han family so much, could it be that in the Jingning Marquis Mansion, in addition to him, an incompetent and evil husband who deserves to go to hell and suffer, someone has ever called her unhappy?

When he wanted to bow his head and ask again, Xie Xuan seemed to notice the gaffe just now, and had already lifted his cloak and got out from under his arm.

She hadn't grown tall yet, and when she squatted down, she was as nimble as a leopard.

Escaping from Han Jue's restraints, Xie Xuan walked around the corner, his eyes swept over the surface of Yu Lake, and he was suddenly startled.

There are already more than a dozen painting boats on the lake, and most of them are the daughters of the noble family swimming in the lake to enjoy the moon, and the lanterns reflect each other, each of them is interesting. It's just that there seems to be some kind of chaos at this moment, and the girls who were originally sitting in the boat poked their heads out one by one in panic, and looked at the painting boat in the middle of the lake that was far away from everyone.

If you look closely, you can see that the water on the surface of the lake on the edge of the boat is splashing, as if someone has fallen into the water.

Xie Xuan was extremely surprised. It is said that at the night banquet set up by Emperor Yuan Jing, in addition to the boatmen, there were guards on those painting boats, and the prevention was that the daughter of the family accidentally fell into the water. Even if there is danger, those guards can rescue them in time.

But now, there didn't seem to be any guards on the boat, but the guards of several surrounding boats flew to the rescue, and the girl in the other boat didn't stand firm, and somehow fell down, making a mess.

On the other side, Xie Jun, Han Caiyi and others also saw it, and said in unison: "What's the matter!" ”

Everyone gathered together to the place with the best view, and saw that many guards drove over to rescue them, and fished up from the lake three girls who were drenched in soup. Naturally, the rest of the people were not in the mood to swim in the lake anymore and returned to their shores. And on the shore, everyone who found the anomaly also gathered in one place, pointing and pointing.

Han Caiyi was most surprised, "Isn't every ship a guard, how could it fall overboard!" ”

"Tang Lingjun-" Han Jue, who was standing at the end, suddenly spoke up and instructed: "I'll go over and take a look, you send the three girls of the Xie family and Caiyi back, don't delay on the way, and don't mention it to anyone, just say that we wandered around in these halls and didn't see anything." Remembered? ”

Everyone present was from a family, and they knew that Han Jue wanted everyone to put aside their involvement, not to get involved in different opinions, and nodded their heads. Tang Lingjun patted his chest and promised, "Cousin, don't worry, it's not a lot of them to keep a single hair." ”

Han Jue smiled helplessly, swept off the high platform, and walked towards Yu Lake.

Here, Tang Lingjun beckoned everyone to go back.

When Xie Xuan and Xie Jun returned to their residence, the Yue family had not come back yet, Xie Jiu went back to the house to find Xie Shan, but Xie Xuan pulled Xie Jun into the inner room, full of curiosity, "Sister, does Brother Yujie know about tonight's events?" ”

"I guess so. On the way to roast turtledoves today, he told me to persuade you not to go on a boat. Maybe you've been working with him lately, but I guess he's not at ease, and he's afraid that you'll just go on a boat, so he insists on beckoning us to go to the Taidian. Xie Jun groaned, "I'm afraid he already knew about Xin'er and didn't want us to be in danger." ”

"He's from the Tsing Yi Guard, so he's naturally well-informed, but—" Xie Xuan looked at Xie Jun with some embarrassment, "I'm working with him, is it obvious?" ”

"Obviously, even the third sister and Caiyi can see it today, and secretly ask me, did Han Yujie offend you somewhere, you seem to always be with him." Xie Jun smiled and pinched her sister's face, "I don't know why, I can only lie, saying that it is to avoid suspicion after withdrawing from the marriage, and you are too young to behave inappropriately." ”

Xie Xuan touched her nose, was she really obvious...... Han Caiyi didn't care, in just one day today, even Xie Jiu could see it.

The two sisters talked for a while, and then they saw that the Yue family came back in a hurry.

As soon as the Yue family entered the courtyard, they beckoned Xie Jiu and Xie Xuan sisters to gather together and asked, "You all know what happened on Yu Lake today, right?" ”

Xie Jun and Xie Xuan naturally remembered Han Jue's instructions, but there was still a Xie Jiu at that time, and she was the daughter of the Yue family...... The two of them didn't squeak, and when they looked at Xie Jiu, they saw her and replied without changing her face: "At that time, we were wandering between those palaces and courtyards in the south, but we didn't see it, what happened?" ”

"It's a good night banquet, but someone fell into the water while swimming in the lake, I heard that the emperor was very angry, huh." Yue recounted what happened at that time, and recited the Buddha: "Fortunately, you are not at the water's edge, I was frightened when I heard about this, and I was afraid that you would make a mistake." What is the matter, alas, you should also go to rest early, and you will go to the beast garden tomorrow. ”

Xie Xuan and Xie Jun sighed in surprise, then went back to rest, and the courtyard returned to silence.

In Emperor Yuanjing's bedroom, it was a completely different atmosphere.

The old emperor drove the palace on a whim this time, and originally wanted to show the royal favor and majesty in front of the nobles of the family, who knew that such a thing would happen?

For the night banquet, he specially dispatched the forbidden army to guard along the lake, and arranged for the people of Tsing Yi Wei to guard each boat, but for no reason, there was still a daughter of the family who fell into the water, so how could he save face?

Emperor Yuanjing was so angry that his beard curled up, and he reprimanded Cai Zong, the commander of the Tsing Yi Guard who came with him, and copied a document on the case, and fell on Cai Zong. Cai Zong knelt straight at the bottom, bowed his head to listen to the training, and did not move when the document was smashed on his head.

Standing beside him was Shoufu Guo She, an old fox in his fifties who asked the emperor to calm his anger, and when he looked up, his eyes were opposite to Feng Ying, the great eunuch with the palm print behind Emperor Yuanjing.
