As the night deepened, it was the time when everything was silent, and a certain manor at the foot of the South Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing gradually extinguished the candle flame in the wind and snow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In the silence of the garden, only the snow fell down, and the soft sound of the murmur hid all the noise and all the dirty tricks. The handsome girl sitting in front of the window looking at Chang'an even had a slight illusion, as if all the conspiracy had ended, and she had come to a few years after the years were quiet.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of chickens and dogs barking outside the manor. It seemed like a horse neighing, and after only a few moments, the noise was quickly hidden in the wind and snow. The handsome girl stood up alertly, listening carefully to the movement outside. However, although she followed her brother to learn some martial arts, she was only able to protect herself, and her five senses were still not sharp enough. Even if you listen carefully, you can only distinguish a few human voices.

A chuckle sounded in the darkness, and the man who was past the age of standing said lazily: "Rare guest, no, it should be a distinguished guest." He lit the candlestick, reflecting the sleepy-eyed appearance, and his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he would continue to be immersed in sleep in the next moment: "Little lady, success or failure is in this move, and you must not do anything superfluous in the last two days." ”

"Ah Lang rest assured, slave can be saved." The handsome girl replied in a low voice, her posture and movements were extremely obedient, but she could vaguely hear a little perseverance and unyielding, "Today is special after all, the slave is just a little sorry, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to the county king's mansion to join in the fun." She didn't mention that she was vaguely worried about Wang Zixian, after all, although they have the love of brother and sister, they are actually master and servant.

The man seemed to have misunderstood her, and curled the corners of his lips and said, "Since the king of the county can get married, he may not be able to marry a wife and take a concubine." With the affection and trust between you, no matter how bright his future is in the future, he will not forget you. Rest assured, the days are still long, and the two of them will definitely understand that fairness can last long. ”

The handsome girl's face suddenly turned pale, and she smiled coldly: "Oh? Is it like Ah Lang and your lord? ”

The "......" man, the former princess of Anxing, was speechless. He had never met such a bold little lady, as if her whole body was covered with thorns, and many times he felt that the one in front of him was very tricky. When he was interested in the person behind Ah Yuan, he never expected that he would be choked speechless now.

The two stared at each other with wide eyes, until they heard a sound of footsteps from far and near outside the courtyard, and then they returned to their normal appearance. The handsome girl, Sun Jinniang, closed the window, and heard someone shouting in a low voice: "Ah Yuan's little lady, Ah Fang's little lady, can you wake up Cheng Langjun?" Your guest is here, sir, please. ”

Cheng Qing put on a big hat and walked out with a smile: "It's time to wait until today, Mr.'s trust, Cheng will definitely not dare to live up to it." Hurry up and lead the way, you can't teach your guests to wait for a long time. At this time, even though his clothes were not neat, his half-closed eyes were still sharp. The servants who came to deliver the message did not dare to make a mistake at all, but diligently led the way for him.

Sun Jinniang looked back, looked at Ah Yuan, who came out of the palm lamp, and asked softly, "Is the carrier pigeon here?" ”

Ah Yuan handed her the sleeping dove that was as quiet as a sleeping pigeon in his sleeve: "Ah Jin, the saint came to the palace of the king of Xin'an County to attend the wedding banquet, and his words seemed to be very dissatisfied with the king of Hejian County. In addition, when the king of Tianshui County and Du Chongfeng returned to Beijing, I don't know if this Mr. Zhou Jiyan Zhou knew the whereabouts of his proud disciple. ”

Sun Jinniang frowned slightly: "Their master and apprentice have not really broken up before-if Du Chongfeng comes to visit, we must remind Ah Lang and the county king to be careful." Although the king of Tianshui is credible, Du Chongfeng may not. By the way, I've always felt that the guest here tonight should be unusual...... It's better to be cautious these days. "Not only can't the carrier pigeon be released easily, but the news must not be spread out, so as not to ruin the game that Cheng Qing has so hard to set.

On the other hand, Cheng Qing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was about forty years old without a trace. This person is tall and sturdy, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, blazing spirit, with the air of a martial artist in his gestures, but his words are elegant, and there is a faint sense of arrogance and nobility. Although hearty and easy-going is by no means the true nature of this person, his demeanor and laughter do not make people feel hypocritical and abrupt, which should also be a kind of talent.

Even if Mr. Zhou Jiyan did not deliberately introduce the two parties, Cheng Qing also tacitly greeted and laughed. The middle-aged man talked with him for two hours, until dawn, and sighed unfinished: "I just hate that I couldn't get to know Mr. Cheng earlier, it's a pity to delay so many years." Otherwise, why should you be in a dilemma and a dilemma? Since he calls himself "Lonely", he is openly admitting his identity.

Cheng Qing thought for a moment and sighed: "Today's saints are suspicious. The king was seriously ill and rested on the way, and he did not arrive in Chang'an for a long time, so it was indeed easy to teach the saint to think more. However, the doubts in the king's heart are not necessarily unfounded. He paused deliberately, and then continued: "Before An Xing died, he specially met with the saint, and heard that he wanted to exchange her life for the identity of the rebel king, but the saint refused, and ordered her to kill herself that night. ”

"It's just a rumor, and who's going to know for sure? How could a saint possibly pass up the opportunity to learn such important news? It was he who agreed to An Xing's exchange, but he turned his face ruthlessly afterwards, and An Xing had no choice. Therefore, I thought that the king was indeed very dangerous now. ”

King Hejian narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about something in his heart. Mr. Zhou didn't say anything before, and at this time Fang said lightly: "The king doesn't know, and the old man also received the news that the king of Tianshui County and Du Chongfeng have returned to Beijing - the king of Yue will also return to Beijing before the year, as for the king of Yue, it should be after the year, after all, Guangzhou is too far away, and it is too late for him to receive the holy decree." ”

"All the clans have returned to Beijing, but only Lone has not arrived...... Scold. The King of Hejian smiled, "The saint is forcing the orphans...... is also isolating Lonely, so that no one dares to defend Lonely. Let Gu fall into a situation of disloyalty first, and then he can dispatch troops at will to get rid of Gu in the name of righteousness. Thinking that it was very likely that the eldest princess of An Xing would reveal his identity and discernment, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "That poisonous woman, Lone really underestimated her!" ”

"It's because the old man is ineffective and failed to get rid of the king's henchmen as soon as possible." Mr. Zhou said, pondering for a long time, and glanced at Cheng Qing, "I don't know what Mr. Cheng's clever plan is, maybe he will relieve the predicament for the king?" ”

Cheng Qing glanced at the two ministers with a smile: "Mr. Zhou seems to know what Cheng thinks in his heart, and he is worthy of Cheng's New Year's friend." Cheng Mou is also a thought, the king listens to it, whether to take it or not, it depends on the king's decision. With the current situation, Cheng thought that the king had to enter Beijing. Otherwise, what awaits the king will be a storm. ”

"Before the preparations are made, if you do not obey the order to enter Beijing, you will definitely fall into the unjust situation of the king, and in the future, the operation of Shengzhou will be controlled everywhere. In Cheng's opinion, the king should enter Beijing immediately. However, entering Beijing endangered the safety of the king, so he had to guard against it. For today's plan, the only way to find one or the best......"

Cheng Qing talked eloquently, and the king of Hejian County sometimes frowned, sometimes smiled, and finally took the case: "Mr. Cheng, it is really a great luck to be alone!" Mr. Zhou Jiyan, who was sitting next to him, showed an extremely subtle look, and he didn't know what he suddenly remembered, so he lowered his eyes and became silent.

——————————————————————————————————————————

When the morning light was faint, thick clouds still silently shrouded the entire Chang'an City. The wind and snow are combined, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, and the Qinglu outside the dormitory of the main courtyard of the Xin'an County Royal Mansion has long been covered with snow. From a distance, the fluffy snow seems to have accumulated a small snowy mountain, which has long been integrated with the nearby tree pavilion. Mother Zhang and a few maidservants were about to enter the Qinglu to wake up the bride and groom, when they suddenly heard soft laughter from the dormitory.

Mother Zhang raised her eyebrows, asked the maid to pass a message to the stewards, and when the wind and snow subsided a little, she demolished the Qinglu, and then pushed the door alone and entered the dormitory. I saw that the king of Xin'an County was wearing a heavy mink fur, and he was playing against Wang Buque who was wearing court clothes. And the newly promoted Princess Du Shi'an of Xin'an County sat on the sidelines, watching the chess with her eyes down. The entanglement between the three of them should obviously be very complicated, but at this moment, it seems to be strangely harmonious, as if this situation is nothing more ordinary.

Mother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and reminded: "San Langjun, it's time to go with the princess to meet Ah Lang and the lady." In addition, it is time for Wang Langjun to go to the court. ”

"Mother Fu, order someone to send Zhiyuan to the outer courtyard." Li Huidao. The prince had a permanent residence in the outer courtyard of the palace, and nominally he had always lived in that courtyard, not in the palace bedchamber. After all, yesterday was his wedding day, and the "friend" should naturally leave the house from the courtyard, not the dormitory - or even the Qinglu.

"No need, I'll just go back quietly." The prince stood up, his eyebrows raised slightly, "I'll go home first today, and I'll come back later." In addition, it should also bring the king of Tianshui County to come. "Li Hui was newly married, and the sage gave him more than a full month of time to rest. But he still had to go to the court every day, and neither the Shuowang Dynasty nor the Chang Dynasty could not miss it until Chinese New Year's Eve. Moreover, in front of the palace, you can't relax at any time. Therefore, even if they are newly married, he cannot always take leave to accompany each other, and even never do it according to his heart for a moment.

"Go ahead." Li Hui nodded.

The prince's gaze turned to him and Dugaran, and his lips curled away.

Du Jialan couldn't help but smile slightly, and said in a low voice, "Can the king tell me what my parents, brother and sister-in-law like to eat?" And what does the king love? What about Shou Niang and Da Lang? "Today, in addition to formally meeting the family, you must also recognize your relatives and wash your hands to make soup. Although they are only husband and wife in name, these rules and customs are indispensable.

"Grandpa likes meat with a strong taste, and the hump is good; A-Niang's taste is relatively light, so you might as well take a dish of ten soups; Brother doesn't have any specific taste, but he doesn't like to be too greasy in the morning food, and goose soup is enough; Sister-in-law has a special body, you might as well make some snacks for her and do your best; Shou Niang and Da Lang can also use some smallpox dumplings, five-color wontons and other dim sum, to satisfy their sense of novelty. Li Hui replied patiently, "As for me, just be casual, so as not to make you feel embarrassed." ”

Mother Zhang led them to walk slowly, and a maid held an umbrella for them to cover the snow. Everyone couldn't help but say in their hearts: After the wedding night, the bride and groom are really close, and they think about each other everywhere when they talk. In the future, the palace of the county king will definitely be very peaceful. And Mother Zhang couldn't help but think about it a little more: it seems that she doesn't have to worry about what Da Langjun and the eldest lady will find out for the time being.

Just when Li Hui and Du Jialan were formally saluting Li Tai and the Yan family, the ministers who were participating in the Chang Dynasty in the Taiji Hall also looked at Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, who was standing on the side of the king of Yong'an County, without a trace. Li Jing was still at ease, and after looking back at the ministers, he sighed: "There are many new faces, and I almost don't recognize them." ”

The king of Yong'an laughed: "The old man doesn't recognize any of them, and he falls quietly!" ”

"It's quiet, indeed." Li Jing bowed his head, and did not mean to greet his uncle in the corner, whose face was particularly complicated.

When the court discussion began, the sage seemed to be a little sleepy, and only pointed at Li Jing and said: "Jing Xing is back, and I will follow me for the past two days, and when I return thousands of miles, I will arrange job vacancies for your brother together." ”

Li Jing said: "Uncle must have forgotten that if it wasn't for the nephew who gave himself to his grandfather last night, my brother might not be able to marry my sister-in-law within the auspicious time." These days, let my nephew follow my grandfather and listen to his grandfather's teachings. ”

So, the sage smiled: "Well, it is also the duty to serve the elders." Uncle clan hasn't returned to Beijing for many years, you might as well take his old man around. Between the lines, he also seems to have great respect for the king of Yong'an.

The ministers were secretly speculating about the attitude of the sage towards the king of the clan who held a heavy army, and another young secretary of the Zongzheng Temple hurried over and reported: "The sage is late for the old minister, and he has just received a message from the king of Siyue and the king of Hejian County, and the two kings will rush to Chang'an tomorrow!" ”

"Oh?" The saint laughed playfully, "The reunion of a clan is indeed a joy to be felt. ”
