When this incident reached the ears of the old lady, the old lady was a little displeased, and said to Liu: "Bao Gongzi is very humble and polite, and he is also knowledgeable, he sent books to Rong'er with good intentions, how can Rong'er embarrass people in public?" ”

Compared with Du Ruo's intimacy, Du Ying's empathy, Du Rong has shortcomings, she is too impulsive, and the old lady is also a little dissatisfied with her, but she is a granddaughter, and she is still very dedicated to choosing a good son-in-law for her.

Liu Shi saw that the old lady had the meaning of condemnation, and hurriedly said: "Rong'er didn't mean it, maybe she didn't like this military book." ”

"She has loved watching it since she was a child, how can she dislike it?" The old lady put her hand on the desk, saw that Liu was sincerely frightened, and felt a little pity for Du Rong, it was also because of this mother that Du Rong's temperament was so strong.

At the beginning, she looked at a very gentle and dignified girl, who would have thought that she was so weak that she couldn't hold her husband at all, and she had to ask her old woman to manage her son in her thirties!

The old lady said, "That's it, I'll ask her myself next time." ”

Liu replied in a low voice.

The Du family will settle down in the Du family, and the small kitchen near the girls has not yet been built, so Du Ruo has to go to his father and mother every day to eat.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, she saw Du Yunyan dancing his sword in the courtyard, and the shining sword was danced by him like a streamer flying in the air, and when he stopped, the surrounding area was full of fallen leaves, all of which were knocked down by the sword qi. She high-fived as she walked: "Daddy's swordsmanship is really amazing!" ”

Seeing his baby daughter, Du Yunyan took the sword, and there was some interrogation: "Ruoruo, how much have you learned the Luoying swordsmanship that your father taught you?" ”

Every generation of the men of the Du family is a martial artist, and all of them are generals, so they are girls' families, and occasionally they have learned some, but Du Ruo doesn't like to fight and kill, she is slow, how can she learn swordsmanship, she wants to really fight, a little slower, she will be cut off a piece of meat!

Frightened, Du Ruo lowered his eyelids and said, "Daddy, I can't hold the sword." ”

Du Yunyan didn't want to blame his daughter, he wanted to protect her, but when he saw a pair of arms in her water sleeves as thin as Huaishan, he was reluctant to say anything.

Du Ling happened to come over at this time, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "Daddy, what does my sister learn to do here?" She doesn't go out to fight, no one will bully her at home, take a step back and say, even if someone bullies, and me, my swordsmanship is not bad. ”

Du Yunyan glanced at him: "A few days ago, I fought with Xuan'er, and you couldn't stop it three times." ”

Why do you want to uncover people's scars? Du Ling was extremely dissatisfied, and frowned: "He is two years older than me, and I don't have his kind of experience, so what's the comparison?" ”

"Once a person makes excuses, this life is over." Du Yunyan said coldly, "You'd better remember it for me!" ”

Du Ling was not convinced, if he wanted to say where he hated He Xuan, and on this point, his father always compared the two of them.

Seeing that his brother was unhappy, Du Ruola pulled his sleeve and encouraged: "Everyone has advantages and disadvantages, you are not as good as his martial arts, but you are more likable than him!" ”

Is this an advantage? The corners of Du Ling's mouth twitched: "Then you must like me more than Brother He?" ”

"Of course, I don't like him at all." Du Ruo nodded vigorously.

Du Ling felt more comfortable, but he didn't believe it when he thought of Du Ruo's sweet call to He Xuan last time, because she liked to pester He Xuan when she was a child, and she had to go to see him when it snowed heavily.

When he arrived at home that day, he was covered with snowflakes, but fortunately she was well protected, she did not get frostbite, but He Xuan had a cold, and his sister was told by her mother.

Later, for some reason, they were estranged again, Du Ling pulled her into the distance and said softly: "Why do you call him Brother Xuan again?" ”

After Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "He is the prince now, so that his brother Xuan can be stained!" ”

This ghost girl, Du Ling has to accept it.

Xie beckoned them to come in for dinner.

The four of them sat together, each of the Eight Immortals Table occupied one side, and the maids were distributing vegetables next to them, Du Yunyan didn't like it, he always picked up the dishes by himself, and the Xie family didn't care about it, but she had to teach the rules of her son and daughter.

Du Yunyan was full of food, and Xie said something to him: "Master, His Royal Highness made a special trip here today, why did you come here?" ”

"What can there be, but it's just a matter of asking for advice, and it's not once or twice."

Du Ruo pricked up his ears and listened.

Du Ling said: "He admires you, father, who doesn't know your majesty in a hundred battles?" Even the emperor mentioned you, and he was full of praise, not to mention His Royal Highness. ”

Zhao Yu has been familiar with Du Ling for a long time, and it is common for him to help talk.

Du Yunyan glanced at him: "No matter how good your relationship is, you have to have a rule, he is the eldest prince, you are just the son of the Guogong Mansion, don't get too close." ”

What does this mean? Du Ling frowned: "Could it be that my father is talking about the establishment of the crown prince?" ”

It was about the prince, Du Yunyan's face sank: "Don't open your mouth and say, this has nothing to do with you." ”

Seeing this, Xie Shi hurriedly retreated, saw that the door was closed, and said softly to Du Yunyan: "Master, don't try to block your son's mouth, he is not a child anymore, but if you don't say it, won't he know?" It's better to be sparse, you make it clear to Ling Er, he won't talk nonsense, the eldest prince often comes to our house, and there are certainly reasons for the master......"

Du Ling frowned and said, "What do you mean, Your Highness is dating us because of your father?" ”

"You kid is in a hurry," Xie said, "just listen to the master." ”

Du Yunyan glanced at his son and said lightly: "Don't say that Your Highness is so despicable, everyone has selfish intentions, but people also have to make friends, Ling'er, you have to think about both sides of everything." Since your mother has spread out this matter, I will tell you that the three princes have the heart to compete for the crown prince, and there is nothing right or wrong, although the elders and young are orderly, but in history, there are many people who violate this example, and there are no rules at all. Just remember, you don't have to get involved in it. ”

"But it doesn't mean that you can completely avoid the eldest prince, just hold a normal heart."

Du Ling was young in the end, and was silenced by these words.

And Du Ruo next to him had other thoughts, and even suddenly realized, no wonder Zhao Yu betrayed her, he wanted to be the prince, wanted to be the emperor, and wanted to win over his father, so he married her, not out of sincerity.

Yiqiē seemed to have a reasonable reason, she said: "I think he is deliberately approaching us, father, you must not help him, he will be ungrateful." ”

"If so, why do you say that?" Du Yunqi was strange.

Du Ruo didn't know whether to tell him about the dream, if he told him, he had to catch He Xuan, I'm afraid his father would be very embarrassed, on one side is the old master, on the other hand is the future new emperor, she said tentatively: "I dreamed that he would betray the Du family as an emperor......"

Du Yunyan was very amused when he heard it: "If the dream can be believed, I don't know how many ridiculous things there are, you said that he became the emperor, in which year did he do it?" ”

In the dream, it seems to be four years later, but Zhao Jian can't be the emperor if he doesn't die, but Zhao Jian is still young now, and she hasn't dreamed about how Zhao Jian died, how to convince them? Du Ruo suddenly felt that she had just made a mistake, and she should think of a better way to explain this dream.

She stopped talking, pulling at the rice.

Du Yunyu never indulged children in major matters, and advised: "Ruoruo, the dream is an illusion, don't take it out and talk nonsense next time, fortunately it's us, if others hear about it, this is a big crime, and the nine clans will be punished!" ”

Of course she knew this, Du Ruo agreed.

Coming out of the hall, Du Ling teased her: "I finally know why you don't want Your Highness's housewarming ceremony, what a stupid girl, and you still believe in dreams." Let me tell you, I dreamed yesterday that I was swimming in a big river, and guess what, a turtle as big as a yard, and I climbed on its back......"

"I've had these weird dreams, but it's different." Du Ruo interrupted him, "Brother, don't you really believe that some dreams can be predicted? Isn't there such a thing in this world? ”

Du Ling scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Not really, I heard that Dayan's national teacher has heavenly eyes and can see things in the future, but he is from Taoism, which is different from us." ”

Dayan's national teacher Dao name Ning Feng, Du Ruo had heard of it before, but she hadn't seen him, and now she heard Du Ling say that he knew the future, if he met a fellow Taoist, he hurriedly pulled his sleeve and asked: "Where does the national teacher live, why does he never show up?" ”

"Their cultivators are pure in heart and have few desires, and naturally they are not like worldly people. He now lives in the Eight Immortals Temple, and after the emperor became the emperor, he became the master of the Eight Immortals Temple. ”

Du Ruo kept this in his heart.

In Chang'an Dingdu has been more than a month, since Zhao Jian chose this place as the capital, it is to live here for a long time, this time spent a lot of financial and material resources, rebuilt the palace left in Chang'an by the previous dynasty, and he and the queen, the three princes temporarily lived in the Mingguang Palace.

After seven years of war, both Zhao Jian and the officials were extremely tired, and now they can finally settle down, Zhao Jian invited a group of officials and their families to visit Furong Garden on this day.

The Furong Garden is a royal forbidden garden in the former dynasty, located in the Qushui Pond, covering an extremely wide area, with scattered courtyards, large and small ponds, vast green meadows, and even a play garden like an urban area. Du Ruo was also the first time to come back, but he didn't expect that there was such a place in Chang'an, and he was also very interested for a while.

In the viewing room, Zhao Jian and the queen Qin came side by side, wearing dragon robes and phoenix skirts, dazzling, and the three princes stood behind them.

The crowd stepped forward to salute and shouted long live.

Zhao Jian wanted the monarch and ministers to have fun this time, without putting on a show at all, and walked among the ministers and said with a smile: "I have never been to Furong Garden, and you must be the first to come back." He called the name of a minister, "Lord Wu is from Chang'an, you might as well take us to have a look, I heard that the rockery of Furong Garden is built in a unique style, yes or no?" ”

Just like talking to a confidant and friend, everyone smiled knowingly.

The men slowly went to the rockery, and the women were with Qin, who smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, especially the little girl, if I was at this age, I wouldn't be able to stay for a long time, just go play." ”

Qin's gentleness and virtuousness are obvious to all, when Zhao Jian led his subordinates to charge and kill the enemy, Qin's family stayed in the rear, and took great care of the female dependents, but whenever anyone has a difficulty, she will always go to visit in person, Zhao Jian can sit firmly in the position of the current emperor, and the Qin family is also closely related.

Originally, Du Ruo also liked her very much, but because of Zhao Yu, he didn't want to be close to the Qin family so much, and when he heard this, he saw that the girls were scattered, so he went to Ziyun Tower with Du Rong and Du Xiu.

Ziyun Tower is tall and magnificent, standing in the center of the Hibiscus Garden, you can see the purple red roof from a distance, Du Ying is sick and weak and has not come today, Du Rong pointed not far away and Du Ruo said: "Ruoruo, Miss Mu is there, let's go to her and go to Ziyun Tower with her." ”

Mu Nanfeng is the heroine in the hearts of the girls, Du Ruo smiled: "Okay, good!" ”

The two of them walked away, Du Xiu thought to herself that although this Mu Nanfeng was heroic and majestic, but he was like a man, she didn't like it very much, but Mu Nanfeng was deeply appreciated by the emperor, and it was good to make a friend, so she followed briskly.

Crossing the path, there is a small garden in front, Mu Nanfeng is in front, Du Ruo was about to go up to say hello, Du Xiu said: "Third sister, look, the prince is there." ”

Du Ruo looked in the direction she said, and saw that He Xuan was sitting in the pavilion in the begonia forest, with an ink robe and jade face, and the flowers full of trees could not soften his coldness. Unexpectedly, she smiled sweetly at him as a friendly greeting.

He Xuan's eyesight was excellent, he could see clearly, he said a few words, and his follower Yuan Feng strode towards Du Ruo.

The three little girls were a little surprised, only to see Yuan Feng go straight to Du Ruo's side before stopping, and hugged his fists slightly and said, "Third girl, the prince invites you to come over." ”

"Me?" Du Ruofa was stunned, "What do you want me to do in the past?" ”

"The third girl will know when she goes."

Du Xiu laughed: "Third sister, the prince invites you, you can go, you grew up together, what are you embarrassed about?" ”

But Du Ruo was still a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Du Rong said: "If you don't want to, I'll let Bai Guo go and spread the word, saying that you want to go with us to see the county lord of Rong'an." ”

"Forget it, I'll go check it out." She was really curious, because He Xuan never took the initiative to invite her, even when she was young, he never invited her to his home as a guest. But she had nothing to do, and she would always bother him, and she was ...... Now that I think about it, what a cheeky one!

She walked to He Xuan's side with Yuan Feng.

Because she went out to play today, she still dressed up well, wearing a rose-red folded branch white peony shirt, a light blue fine-folded plain skirt, a rose-colored belt adorned with tassels tied around her waist, and a double butterfly white jade pendant.

Fresh and bright, like the morning light of March.

His eyes fell on her, thinking of what happened before, she not only suddenly called him Brother Xuan, but smiled at him again today, like a feather that slashed through his heart, so that he had no way not to care. So he asked Yuan Feng to invite her, and she really came.

Du Ruo was a little uncomfortable by him, and asked, "Brother Xuan, do you have something to do with me?" ”

He was noncommittal, and only said, "Sit down." ”

Du Ruo glanced at the stone table, only to find that there was tea on the table, she was walking thirsty, and her lips were a little dry when she saw this, so she sat down, looked up and asked Yuan Feng: "Is there still a tea cup?" ”

He Xuan pushed what was in front of him to her.

Du Ruo was startled.

He Xuan said lightly: "I haven't touched it." ”

Clear eyes stared at her, like the breeze in the forest, there was no big movement, but it could set off small waves.

Du Ruo's fingers were a few inches away from the teacup, and when he heard the words, he suddenly tensed, and slowly regained his grip until it became a hollow fist.
