"That's it," Xia smiled lightly, bullying the king, no number of lives were enough for the Son of Heaven to be angry.
On the second day after returning to Beijing, Xia Qian was invited to the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust, in her opinion, it was a Hongmen banquet, full of deceit, flattery, and the court, so disgusting.
"General, the old minister respects you." Minister Liu, who was sitting beside him, stepped forward with a wine glass.
"Thank you." Xia Qian took it, shook the wine glass and looked at it, and it was all gone.
"The general has a good amount of alcohol." When the wine bottomed out, Minister Liu continued to pour the wine with a smile, and asked sideways: "General Xia, I don't know if there is one thing, whether the old minister should say it." ”
"What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Then the old minister said bluntly," Minister Liu coughed lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The general is a talent, he has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, and now he has been counting for several years, but he has not married yet, is there an unspeakable disease?" ”
Hearing this, Xia Qian almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, raised his sleeves to cover it, and said busily: "There is no such thing." ”
"That's very good." Minister Liu's expression softened, as if he was relieved, Xia Qian happened to see it clearly, and he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh.
"General Xia, is there a good person?"
Minister Liu finally said the purpose of this conversation, and as soon as this remark came out, it was nothing more than wanting to send some women to her as wives or concubines, but she really didn't need it.
"Thank you, Xia already has a sweetheart." How could she have it, but it was just to deceive them, so that they could have peace of mind and not have any bad ideas on her.
"This, I don't know which daughter General Xia has taken a fancy to, it's really a blessing for three lives, ha, hahaha-" Minister Liu desperately hid his surprise and laughed.
"It's not a daughter with a prominent background, just a very ordinary girl." Xia Qian replied lightly.
"Presumably, this person must have something extraordinary, and he can be favored by the general." Minister Liu asked unrelentingly.
"It's the same, the days when I persevered in chasing Xia made Xia remember it vividly." Xia Qian poured the wine slowly and methodically, and took a sip.
"Huh?" Minister Liu's eyes widened, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, could it be that General Xia likes this type of woman?
Half of the wine has gone, and the banquet is almost over, many ministers want to come over to talk to Xia Qian, but they don't dare to be too ostentatious under the nose of His Majesty, and they come one after another, Xia Qian is troubled by this. Found an opportunity and sneaked away.
"The air is much fresher." Leaving the noisy palace, Xia Qian walked in the corridor outside, half-leaning on the railing, enjoying the cold wind blowing at night, just in time to wake up.
Suddenly, there was a crisp slap in the distance, accompanied by a woman's sharp voice, accompanied by, "Stinky girl, don't you look at the road when you walk?" I actually stained the new clothes of the county lord, see if the county lord doesn't kill you!! ”
"Hmm-" The beaten little girl couldn't dodge, and soon, five finger prints clearly appeared on the beaten face, which showed the weight of the hand. Xia Qian, who was on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. The person who claims to be the county lord in front of her, she has a little impression, called Liu Xianghan, who is the daughter of Minister Liu who just talked to her, and is also the mother of the Seventh Highness, who has met a few times in Beijing before, and has seen her quite impressive, short-tempered, and impulsive, but the Queen Mother is very kind to her, adopted as an adopted daughter, and has been given a title, after that, it has become even more unscrupulous, and it is not a big deal to kill one or two maids in the palace, and everyone is used to it.
"County, county lord......" The little girl was full of tears, and she kept rolling in her eyes, because she was afraid of being excessive, and her body trembled.
"Cry and cry and pretend to be pitiful, right? Don't think that the county lord doesn't know, if you want to climb into my cousin's bed, it's still far away!! The county lord was a little emotional, and stretched out his hand to prepare another slap.
"County Lord," Xia Qianyan quickly grabbed her hand, and his tone was slightly cold, "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, she's just a little girl, why make such a big fuss?" Kindness? The end was soft, and she looked at her as if she was nothing.
"Xia, General Xia." Liu Xianghan saw that it was Xia Qian, her ears turned red, and she snorted, "The general is reasonable." But he changed his face in a second, turned around and kicked the poor maid viciously, and shouted in a low voice: "Hmph, count your stinky girl lucky, don't hurry up and roll for the county lord, look upset." After all, Xia Qian is a person who practices martial arts, and his hearing is not ordinary people, what Liu Xianghan said sounded clearly, and seeing that she didn't embarrass her anymore, there was no reason to interfere again.
"Yes." The little girl lowered her head, and hurriedly passed by Xia Qian, one was careless, her feet were crooked, and her body fell to the side of the railing, and below the railing was a pool!
"Be careful!" said that it was too late, Xia Qian reached out and grabbed her arm, and pulled it back hard, maybe too hard, the little girl didn't stand firm, and fell straight to her.
Xia Qian didn't expect this unexpected scene to happen, she didn't like people to get close to her body, for fear of being recognized by others, but this ......
"Yes, I'm sorry." The maid quickly let go of her hand and ran away quickly.
"Is General Xia injured?" Liu Xianghan hurriedly stepped forward and asked intimately, almost leaning over.
"No problem." Xia Qian moved back and widened the distance between the two, "Xia remembered that there was something else in the house, so he retired first." ”
Looking at someone's distant figure, Liu Xianghan almost smashed the handkerchief in his hand, and said in pieces: "Damn, he ran away again, the county lord is the first beauty in this capital, and the men who have seen the county lord all bow down under the pomegranate skirt of the county lord, but he ......"
"Maybe General Xia has a sweetheart, but not necessarily." Another little maid next to her whispered.
"Slap," a crisp slap, Liu Xianghan looked at it coldly, "It seems that you didn't see the lesson just now, right, come on, pull her down and cut off this broken tongue." ”
"The county lord, the county lord spares his life, and the slave knows that he is wrong."
"Yes!" Two stout men got the order and pulled her down.
Back at the banquet, I heard that the emperor was drunk and returned to the palace drunk, Xia Qian's heart settled down for the time being, and he went back to the mansion.
Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but think of what happened in the palace, she grabbed the little maid's hand earlier, accidentally touched her veins, and found that she was not her, but him.
What the hell is going on, a man blends into the county lord's subordinates, the disguise is seamless, and none of the people around the county lord find out, what is his purpose, or is this one of the eyeliners that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh have planted with each other?
"Still, it's pretty good." Xia Qian recalled the moment when she raised her head in horror, which made her heart tremble, such a beautiful person. When I thought of a man who was more beautiful than a woman, I was a little unhappy, and I fell asleep sullenly.
"General, the lord of Xiangxiang is here to visit." Early in the morning, Si Qinghan knocked on the door and called Xia Qian, who was sleeping inside.
Liu Xianghan? What is she doing here? There are ten thousand reluctances in her heart, after all, she is the identity of the county lord, a relative of the emperor, and she has to see it.
"Let her in." There was a sound from inside the door.
"Yes."
"The General's Mansion is really atmospheric, worthy of being a person who fights on the battlefield, and has the style of a warrior." Hearing Liu Xianghan's voice from outside the gate from a distance, Xia Qian tidied up his clothes, walked out of the room, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Xia has seen the county lord."
"The general is polite, I came here today to bring some delicious snacks in the capital to the general," Liu Xianghan said here, and said casually: "Qian'er, don't hurry up and bring the food box." ”
"Yes," the little girl I saw yesterday walked out from behind Liu Xianghan with a food box, the swelling on her face had not faded, and there were some fine scars, she had never smeared some medicine on her face, and her face, which was more beautiful than a woman, was hurt like this, although Xia Qian didn't see it with her own eyes, she also knew whose masterpiece it was. She glanced at this Qian'er a few times, and then at Liu Xianghan, and wondered in her heart, was she too worried?
"General Xia, look," Liu Xianghan stepped forward and reached out to grab Qian'er's food box, I don't know if she intended or not, her body slammed into Qian'er, Qian'er didn't stand firm for a while, and fell to the ground, Xia Qian wanted to come to the rescue, but then thought that he was a man, he couldn't help but didn't make a move, and his fist was clenched tightly and put on his side.
"These are the four most famous snacks in the capital, candied ginkgo, lotus seed cake, golden cake roll, five-spiced cashew nuts, these are all made by the county lord himself, I don't know if it suits your appetite general," Liu Xianghan opened the fragrant food box and introduced them one by one, "This candied ginkgo biloba ......"
"The county lord has a heart, Xia is just a rough person, how dare he bother the county lord to cook himself......" Xia Qian looked at these good-looking foods, and didn't believe that she made it anyway, you must know that in the capital, she has heard a lot of rumors about her, and she still has a certain understanding of Liu Xianghan's character, how can a daughter who doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers go to the kitchen to make these delicious foods, it is said that she doesn't even want to learn embroidery, she goes out shopping all day long, and she is bold by nature, When I see a beautiful man, I want to take it home, robbing the people alive, who in this capital doesn't know her reputation as the lord of Xiangxiang, and I don't know how many male pets live in her house.
Male pets? Thinking of this, Xia Qian subconsciously glanced at Qian'er who fell, could it be that he was one of them? It is very likely that if there is a group of male pets living in the house, it will affect Liu Xianghan to marry and ruin her reputation, (what has been corrupted can no longer be corrupted) His Majesty is also very troubled by this matter, so Liu Xianghan will come up with such a strategy, and treat some unfavored men as maids to serve her.
