"What about other than that?" Xuanyuan Luo continued to ask.

Lu'er seemed to realize something at this time, and she said hesitantly: "... This... It's nothing! ”

"Don't lie." Xuanyuan Luo lowered his face and scolded sharply: "Even if you don't say it, His Highness can still find out." ”

“…… Slaves...... The slave maid ...... "Lu'er is not very smart, and she can't speak in a hurry.

Fortunately, Huang Ming on the side interjected in time: "This morning, Miss went to Lord Yin's study, and when she came back, she fell asleep tired. Just like what Xuanyuan Luo said before, even if they don't say it, as long as he has the heart to investigate, he can always find it.

Therefore, Huang Ming felt that it was better to say it directly.

Xuanyuan Luo said, "What did she do when she went in?" ”

"The slave maid didn't know, the young lady didn't bring anyone with her when she went in." Huang Ming shook his head and said.

"I see." Xuanyuan Luo waved his hand, and he turned to ask about another matter, "I remember that Miss Rixia rescued an old man from the side of the road some time ago, I don't know where this old man is now?" ”

Lu'er was frightened by her previous mindless behavior and didn't dare to speak, Huang Ming was so calm that he explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

After Xuanyuan Luo listened, he nodded, and beckoned Qing Xi to take the little girl to the guard's house to greet him, and also brought a lot of silver taels by the way.

In addition to the epidemic, Xuanyuan Luo has many other problems on hand, the cold weather has caused many people to frostbite, and now although the weather has warmed up, the physical injuries will not be healed for a while. He drank a cup of hot tea at Xia Yao's side, and then left in a hurry.

"Huang Ming, do you think I'm stupid!" At this time, there was no one around, and Lu'er couldn't help but ask.

Huang Ming touched her head and said, "Just be careful in the future." ”

"Hmm." She had a bitter face, a little sullen.

Lu'er watched Huang Ming tidy up the entire courtyard inside and out, her every move was indescribably calm, and her heart was silently drooling - when would she be so powerful.

*

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xuanyuan Luo didn't ask Xia Yao a word more, although he already had the answer in his heart.

Xia Yao didn't ask much about where the person who delivered the prescription came from, although she probably understood it in her heart.

The two of them pretended to be confused like this, but they were also happy.

"Now that the situation has stabilized, we should go back in a few days." Xuanyuan Luo said suddenly.

Xia Yao was still a little stunned when she heard this, she ate and slept here every day, living a life of drunken dreams and death, but she didn't notice the passage of time.

"Alas!" Xia Yao sighed, and said with some reluctance: "I know, when will you leave?" ”

Xuanyuan Luo replied: "The crown prince and the fourth brother are already in good health, and Li Shangshu said that they can leave in three days at the latest." ”

Although the prescription provided by Chen Shengjie was slightly flawed, but after the reconciliation of everyone in the Tai Hospital, the real prescription was quickly obtained, which was not a particularly serious disease.

Xia Yao nodded, indicating that she knew.

That night, Xia Yao relayed Xuanyuan Luo's words to Huang Ming and Lu'er, and said with a smile: "If you still have something to do, take advantage of these two days to do it quickly!" When you come to Yezhou again, I don't know what year and month you have to wait? ”

Lu'er followed Xia Yao all the way, except for some pity that she didn't see the wonderful Yezhou style, so she didn't have much to do.

Huang Ming was still thinking about the old man who was rescued, she mentioned a few words to Xia Yao, and the next day she took the little money she had saved in her hand to watch people.

This time, when he came back, Huang Ming's whole person was shaken.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu'er asked from the side.

"I ...... I ......" Huang Ming opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Lu'er looked inside and whispered, "You can't give up all afternoon, I'll give you an analysis if you say anything!" ”

Huang Ming endured it for a while, and after Lu'er's repeated persuasion, he finally couldn't help but tell what happened today.

Early this morning, Huang Ming pinched his purse and went to the guard's house to say goodbye to the old man. There, she met the old man's youngest daughter, the fifth sister.

Although the fifth sister's skin is rough, her facial features are very similar to Huang Ming, and Huang Ming was shocked and sounded without a trace.

The fifth sister herself was also frightened, and she said everything she knew like a bean. Facing the glorious and beautiful 'suspected sister' in front of her, she was both excited and apprehensive.

After hearing this, Lu'er asked, "Strange! In that case, why didn't the old man recognize you? ”

"I heard the fifth sister say that she is old, and her eyes can't see clearly." Huang Ming said.

"And ......," Lu'er tugged at the corner of her clothes, "what about the brother before?" He's got no problem with his eyes! How do I think this is such a coincidence? ”

"Indeed." Huang Ming sighed, "What kind of thing do you say!" ”

"Why don't you ......," Lu'er pointed inward, "Shall we go and ask Miss for help?" ”

"How bad is that!" Huang Ming was a little moved, but she was a little maid, was it too much to do this.

Lu'er obviously thought of this as well, and she couldn't help but bite her thumb with her mouth and step in place, "...... So what to do! Now that you have clues about your family, are you going to give up like this? ”

"I ...... I do not know. Huang Ming had a small face depressed.

She was too young when she was abducted, and she didn't have much of an impression of her family. If you really want to talk about feelings, it's not too deep, but let her watch her father live a hard life without food and clothing, how can she bear it? !

"What do you want to do so much?" Lu'er kicked her feet and pulled Huang Ming to find Xia Yao, "You have a deed of sale on Miss, you have to leave or stay, don't you mean to see Miss?" ”

This attack saved Huang Ming from the entanglement just now - as I said before, she is just a little maidservant, where can she be her own master?!

Xia Yao was hit by her previous dog crawling words, don't want it, and now she is driving out all the maidservants for the sake of face, and she is practicing hard by herself.

Hearing the knock on the door, she quickly covered the words written on the table under the white rice paper, sorted out her appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and said, "Come in!" ”

"Yes." Lu'er and Huang Ming entered the door together, and after saying hello, Huang Ming repeated Xia Yao's previous words.

"That's a coincidence." Xia Yao said with a smile: "I said before that I wanted to find a family for you, and in the blink of an eye, someone appeared on the head of the eye, but it was fate." ”

"That's what Miss said." Huang Ming replied respectfully.

"I just don't know what you're going to do?" Xia Yao asked.

She looked at Huang Ming's restrained appearance and explained: "I said before that I would like to wish you a family reunion, and now that you have something to say boldly, I won't blame you." ”

Huang Ming hesitated, suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, saying, "The slave wants to stay here to greet the old father for a while, and I hope the young lady will be successful." “

"Oh!" Xia Yao nodded, although she was reluctant in her heart, she still let the person go, "Since that's the case, then you stay here, as for the deed of sale, I will naturally destroy it when I return home." ”

"No, no, no......" Huang Ming waved his hand in a panic and said anxiously: "This is not what the slave and maid mean, it is the blessing of the slave and maid to be able to serve a bodhisattva-like character like Miss." ”

Speaking of this, she stopped talking, her face was flushed, and she seemed very embarrassed. She said: "If Miss doesn't dislike it, is it okay for the slave to return to Miss after she wants to arrange her family?" ”

Huang Ming blinked, his eyes were full of longing, and his sincere heart was fully revealed.

If she can not lose Huang Ming, a servant girl who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and can write and know martial arts, Xia Yao is naturally willing, she should give Huang Ming's words and say, "Is three months enough?" ”

Huang Ming was stunned for a moment, and his face was full of surprise after reacting, "Enough is enough, thank you Miss, thank you Miss ......"

"Alright, let's go down!" Xia Yao waved her hand, her face mysterious.

"Yes."

After the two left, Xia Yao pulled out the paper that was half written below with a calm face - and continued to practice calligraphy unremittingly.

She didn't believe it, she had two lifetimes of memory, and she couldn't even write a single calligraphy.

It's simply a stain on her life, a shame for her life.

Until the sun sank, Xia Yaosheng tore up the things at hand and threw them into the bookpan without a smile, she decided to forget about this afternoon, she just took a nap and did nothing.

*

When Xia Yao and Xuanyuan Luo left Yezhou, hundreds of people were like dense ants under the city wall, either bidding farewell or crying and screaming to save them...... The scene is not without shocking.

The prince's face was gloomy, his hateful teeth itched, and he said in a strange manner: "The fifth brother is a good skill, which makes the eldest brother admire!" ”

Xuanyuan Luo smiled and said without pain: "The eldest brother praised it, and the younger brother just did what he had to do." ”

The fourth prince was also a little embarrassed in his heart, but when he saw that the prince didn't get any benefits, he couldn't help but gloat. He and the crown prince sang in opposite tunes, and praised Xuanyuan Luo greatly, "The fifth brother has made a great contribution this time, presumably my father must be relieved to hear it......"

Xuanyuan Luo didn't take credit, he said with a straight look: "Fourth brother is serious, if there is no Li Shangshu and everyone this time, I alone will not be able to complete the task assigned by my father." ”

"No, no, no......" Li Shangshu hurriedly excused himself: "The minister believes that even if there is no minister this time, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness can also complete this matter beautifully." ”

His words were convincing and his eyes were full of admiration...... The people accompanying him did not refute, but nodded secretly.

The crown prince and Xuanyuan Ming were shocked at the same time, this was only a short period of time - the fifth brother actually subdued this group of people into obedience, and this kind of means made both of them secretly vigilant.

"Do a good job, and bring a woman with you......" Before leaving, the prince still wanted to give Xuanyuan Luo a face. He glanced disdainfully at the carriage where Xia Yao was sitting, and snorted sarcastically.

Everyone had a lot of complaints about Xuanyuan Luo and Xia Yao, but fortunately, Xia Yao stayed in the state capital as she did her duty, and she was quiet as if there was no her.

Later, when the five princes were in distress, the other party followed him to the dangerous avalanche land regardless of life and death.

Whether it is a man from the barracks, or an official who rolls around in the court, he has a good impression of such a woman who values love and righteousness.

even sighed privately - no wonder the Fifth Highness who can accept Zhiduo and the Demon, just this love, how many people will leave!!

Therefore, everyone is farting when they say that they are princes, just listen to it.

Xuanyuan Ming found the subtlety, his heart was a little heavy, but he smiled kindly, said a few good words, and got into the carriage with the footsteps of the prince.

Xuanyuan Luo looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost time, let's go!" ”

"Yes." All the civil officials bowed and sat back in the carriage.

Xuanyuan Luo did not shy away from suspicion, he sat down with Xia Yao unceremoniously, and the imperial doctor who had rushed over the day before yesterday was startled and couldn't help whispering. The first batch of imperial doctors who came with him at the beginning were numb, and they seemed to have gotten used to it.

Xia Yao glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you go with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"How tired!" Xuanyuan Luo pouted childishly, "There is still a tough battle to fight when I return to the capital?" Why spend your energy on the road. ”

"You!" Xia Yao sighed, knowing that he had been tired these days, and said distressedly: "There is still a long way to go, do you want to sleep in the carriage for a while?" ”

Xuanyuan Luo propped up his head with his right hand and said, "This is not in a hurry, you just leave Huang Ming alone in Yezhou, and you are not afraid of anything?" ”

"Where is Lord Fu Yin here? What could happen? The carriage shook when it walked, and Xia Yao changed her posture uncomfortably.

Xuanyuan Luo nodded, since Xia Yao already had an idea, he didn't ask anymore.

This way stopped and stopped, because they were not in a hurry, everyone was quite leisurely, but the prince and Xuanyuan Ming were afraid that they had not returned for so long, and the capital would change.

The weather in the capital has been very warm, the grass on the side of the road has come out, and the peach blossoms are about to bloom, Xia Yao sighed: "This peach blossom looks really good." ”

Lu'er glanced out and echoed, "Isn't it ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she was blocked back by Xia Yao's next sentence, she said: "Presumably, the peaches that will bear after a while must be delicious." ”

Lu'er, "............"

This can't be blamed for Xia Yao's gluttony, it's really-haven't eaten it for too long!

In ancient times, you could only eat seasonal fruits in season, and after that point, even if it was the emperor, it would be difficult to eat it, let alone Xia Yao.

"Little gluttonous cat." Xuanyuan Luo chuckled, scratched Xia Yao's nose with his index finger, and said dotingly: "When the time comes, I will ask someone to send you a few baskets over, so that you can eat alone." ”

Xia Yao stretched her waist and didn't reply to his words, and said to herself: "It's finally coming, I've come all the way, but I'm so tired that I feel like my bones are going to fall apart." ”

Xuanyuan Luo reached out and rubbed her shoulder, "...... I've received word from the scouts that my father will meet us at the palace gate tomorrow......"

"No, it won't!" Xia Yao was stunned, she hesitated: "A snow disaster, as for it?" ”

"Don't forget, there's anyone else in this group." Xuanyuan Luo's expression was faint, "Three princes, how can it be?" ”

"Okay!" Xia Yao slapped Xuanyuan Luo's hand away and said mercilessly, "Remember to go back to your sedan chair tomorrow." ”

No matter how tired the two of them are here, when it comes to important occasions, there should be no less etiquette.

Xuanyuan Luo said: "I know, but unfortunately I'm afraid I'll have to wronged you tomorrow." ”

"Nothing." Xia Yao smiled indifferently, "I understand." "As a burden, she will definitely attract gossip.

"You have to hold it yourself!" Xia Yao said with a little schadenfreude.

As a 'mediocre' prince who was fascinated by her demonic methods, Xuanyuan Luo was under no less pressure than Xia Yao.

But the actual situation, the two of them know enough!

*

The next day –

The sun came out early, and the people who shone were warm, and the chief of the guard shouted on the side: "I'm going to the capital soon, give me a good cheer." ”

"Yes." After walking for more than ten days, everyone's faces were a little black and gray, but their shining eyes and radiant expressions all had a spirit of energy.

As time passed, everyone soon came to the gate of the majestic capital......

The boiling drum was beaten, and the suona was blown high...... The people on both sides were full of smiles, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, and His Fifth Highness...... Return ......"

Xia Yao was frightened, she silently lifted the curtain through a gap, peeked out, and said, "Why are there so many people?" ”

"Miss, isn't that how it should be?" Lu'er said as a matter of course: "If you can get a glimpse of the holy face, of course everyone is here!" ”

Xia Yao, the chairman who brought the emperor into the twenty-first century, couldn't help but nod and agreed: "Indeed." No matter what, she is not an original inhabitant, and her understanding of this era of imperial supremacy reveals a little indifference.

This also gave her a little confidence in the face of the powerful - although she herself didn't know where this confidence came from.

The carriage marched to the main entrance of the palace, dressed in a bright yellow robe, and the emperor stood in the middle of the main gate surrounded by court officials......

The prince and Xuanyuan Ming got out of the carriage in turn and met the saint.

Xia Yao stood silently in the corner, trying to make her presence smaller.

The emperor first praised Xuanyuan Luo heavily, and then changed the conversation, and belittled him without a trace, but praised Li Shangshu, without mentioning the fact that the prince and Xuanyuan Ming both fell ill as soon as they arrived in the place.

After the emperor finished speaking, it was a celebration banquet.

This celebration banquet was not grand, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, the noblewomen of the capital, and the nobles of the high families...... All who could come have come.

As soon as Xia Yao entered the door, she was pulled aside by the eldest princess, and the other party rarely scolded: "You are really messing around this time." ”

"I know." No matter what, in front of the elders, it is always right to obediently admit mistakes first, Xia Yao said in a sincere tone: "I was indeed reckless this time. ”

The eldest princess's face improved slightly when she heard this, and Xia Yao made persistent efforts and said: "It's not that His Royal Highness is in good health, let him go alone, how can I put my mind down in the capital?" ”

"Okay, okay......" The eldest princess patted the back of Xia Yao's hand soothingly, and said, "I know you're worried about Luo'er, but do your best in everything, you are a woman, and if you go over, it will inevitably attract gossip." ”

"Yes." Xia Yao lowered her head, looking like she had been taught.

Seeing this, the eldest princess couldn't help but vomit bitterness, "I came back from Bodhi Temple this time, I heard that you and Luo'er went to Yezhou, and I was worried and scared every day, and I couldn't eat well or sleep well, especially when I heard that the prince was also infected with the epidemic, which made me almost faint with fright......

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, rest assured." Xia Yao smiled and said, "My Royal Highness and I have a great fortune and have nothing to do." ”

The eldest princess glanced at her cautiously and said, "No matter what? In the future, you are not allowed to go to such dangerous things. ”

Regarding this point of view, Xia Yao nodded in agreement, but thinking about Xuanyuan Luo's 'wolf ambition', I am afraid that the chance of realizing it is slim.

The dancers on the stage danced a moving dance, and in this lively atmosphere, the banquet slowly came to an end.

The emperor drank a lot of wine, and he greeted the eunuchs around him with a flushed face and announced the holy decree he had prepared a long time ago-

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said-

This time, Yezhou is in an emergency, and when it is in danger, Zhong Aiqing lives up to my trust............"

After a burst of tooth-aching appreciation, the emperor gave everyone except Xuanyuan Luo a step up, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who didn't help him with anything......

- and only one person, Xuanyuan Luo, received a large sum of silver taels.

The meaning of the emperor's decree is that Xuanyuan Luo is too young to be entrusted with important tasks......

But Xia Yao heard the meaning of partiality from his words, she was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Xuanyuan Luo Ke was the heir born to him by the emperor's 'true love' woman, and now how to look at it like an enemy.

Is it really appropriate to lose his face like this in front of everyone?!

Xia Yao couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Luo, and saw that his face was calm, as if he had already expected the scene in front of him, and calmly accepted the order to thank him.

The prince and Xuanyuan Ming were secretly happy in their hearts, and they didn't forget to pull the banner out and comfort Xuanyuan Luo in the open, and secretly mocked them.

The hearts of the people around him fluctuated, and Li Shangshu felt a little unhappy in his heart, feeling that he had robbed Xuanyuan Luo of the credit, but he didn't dare to refute the emperor's words on his face, but what he said next was how well Xuanyuan Luo did this time...... He praised him in front of everyone.

Some people listened to these words, and some people exaggerated them when they were drunk...... But no matter what, Xuanyuan Luo is a big limelight.

The face of the harmful prince couldn't help but turn black again.
