Before you know it, it's the end of spring. The prosperous scenery is still the same, and in the bright spring light, people continue to call friends to travel and play, feasting and drinking everywhere, singing and dancing. No matter what kind of joys and sorrows the story, they are all annihilated in the hustle and bustle. However, with the holding of the Xinke Furong Banquet, the young man of this year once again aroused the enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an City.

What did this rumored handsome and dashing teenager look like? In the end, who could catch him as a new son-in-law? Can you see his heroic posture of riding horses and exploring flowers all over Chang'an? With full of hope and curiosity, men, women and children poured out of the streets and alleys, as if they were spending a festival to the Hibiscus Garden by the Qujiang Pond. Ordinary people can't enter the Hibiscus Garden at this time, but if they can take a look at the head of Xinke Jiadi from a distance, maybe they can also touch his temperament?

Not only are the people so lively, but even the children of the official eunuch family also came to the Hibiscus Garden. Among them, there are students from Guozixue and Taixue, who came because of admiration, hoping to get to know this new branch leader; There are also gentlemen, who come just to satisfy their own interests, and by the way, take a look at what is brilliant about this young man from a declining family; There are even more charming little ladies, who come with longing, secretly weighing and calculating in their hearts, I don't know who can get this wishful husband.

In the Peony Garden, King Xin'an was leaning on the railing of the small building, looking at the apricot orchard next door somewhat carelessly. Now the apricot blossoms are about to fall, the apricot forest that used to be steaming and cloudy, but now it is like a snow wave, as if the pear orchard next door is blooming with thousands of trees, and there is a unique charm. In the depths of the apricot forest, there is a quaint small building standing faintly, revealing a few corners of the cornice, and the eaves are hung with copper bells, which sound gently with the wind.

The breeze came with the sound of bells, and it seemed that bursts of laughter could be heard. It was so far away that it was reasonable to say that he should not be able to distinguish these voices, but King Xin'an seemed to be able to hear the familiar magnetic voice among them. After realizing that he was listening to the laughter in the wind, King Xin'an squinted his eyes, and before he knew it, he was a little distracted.

There is only one person who can make him frightened. And since the man had shown his will, he had become much stronger. Although he can't be regarded as aggressive all the time, he is also approaching him step by step quietly. There must be one advance and one retreat, and he gradually realized that in the face of such warm affection, he may have no way out.

"This hibiscus feast is nothing more than that." Princess Changning, who was sitting beside him, said lazily, "Pushing the cup and changing the lamp is no different from an ordinary banquet." From a distance, it doesn't mean much. I really don't know where those people outside are so interested, just waiting, laughing and laughing, and everywhere is lively. ”

"They're here to see the head of the new Kogardi, not some hibiscus feast. Just the demeanor of the first head is enough for them to talk about it for a year and a half, and they can naturally bear it. Li Hui glanced at her, as if he was smiling, "Only you, for the sake of neither the hibiscus banquet nor the new department, naturally feel extremely boring." It's really hard for you, since you don't want to see the hibiscus banquet and the new branch, why go out of the palace? ”

Hearing this, Princess Changning couldn't help but blush, and looked at Wang Zimu who was sitting not far away: "Isn't Brother Fang also a drowsy look?" Even you, who have come all the way for the new department, are so interested, how can I be an exception? After that, she hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you know what happened to the Wang family recently?" ”

As a young lady with amazing intelligence, she has already keenly noticed that since Wang Zimu returned to Shangzhou twice, she has become much more melancholy. The young man with a warm smile in the past seemed to have a lot of sorrow in his eyes, and even his smile was not as pure and moving as in the past. Although his affection for her was still strong, and he did not ignore her because of this, she vaguely felt that he must not be allowed to continue to fall into these feelings. Otherwise, he will never be able to get out again.

Li Hui looked along her line of sight, groaned slightly, and said, "Since something happened to the Wang family, why didn't you ask him?" Wang Zixian had nothing to hide from him, and when he came back yesterday, he told him all that had happened after these days of separation. He not only knows what happened to Wang Chang and Xiao Yang, but also knows their future fate. Even by the way, he solved Wang Ziling, and temporarily entrusted his two younger sisters and his mother-in-law Zeng to the care of the patriarch, and he was clear about the cause and effect.

"......" Princess Changning was silent, hesitated for a moment, and then replied with some annoyance, "Since he doesn't want to tell me, if I want to ask him, won't it make him even more troubled?" I always felt that if I asked, he would definitely tell me, but I would have hidden worries in my heart, and I couldn't say what would happen in the future. ”

"If you don't dare to ask, then you don't have to ask him, and you don't have to ask me." Li Hui shook his head slightly, "Just wait." When he is willing to speak, he will naturally speak to you. Compared to them, the two children were obviously only immersed in their ups and downs for the time being, and even if they noticed the changes in each other, they could only cautiously knock on the side, or even remain silent. Their relationship is too short and fragile, and it takes a long time for an unshakable trust to form between them.

Princess Changning puffed out her cheeks slightly, looked at him with resentment, and then took Princess Yong'an by the hand: "Let's go, let's go outside to see the flower envoy." Ignore my brother, just let him sit here and watch from afar. ”

Princess Yong'an was fiddling with the peony buds she picked, and when she heard her words, she smiled very brightly: "The head promised me to give me a hairpin to wear!" "The little guy's memory is very good.

Seeing the two nobles going downstairs, Wang Zimu recovered from his stunned and hurriedly followed. However, when he got up, Li Hui's gaze stopped him. For some reason, whenever he saw this king of Xin'an, he couldn't help but feel a thought of self-blame similar to "my parents wanted to kill his father", and then he immediately stiffened, and his demeanor could no longer be as usual.

Li Hui didn't notice the guilt and entanglement in his heart, but said lightly: "You just walk with me." "Now there are people everywhere in the Hibiscus Garden, and if he is not careful, the matter between him and Princess Changning will be discovered by those who are interested. In this kind of crowd surge, it is more and more necessary to pay attention to it.

Wang Zimu bowed slightly, and he also knew that his behavior was a little reckless. So, he followed behind Li Hui step by step, sometimes distracted, sometimes suddenly. The appearance of being alive and soulless fell in the eyes of Princess Changning, as if she had been severely taught a lesson by the king of Xin'an County.

She furrowed her eyebrows, and was about to defend her lover when she heard a burst of shouts and laughter outside. Li Hui also vaguely heard people calling for words such as "new branch head" and "that is the new branch head", and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and climbed the sky promenade at the corner of the peony garden.

This promenade is built next to the wall adjacent to the peony garden and the apricot garden, like an aerial bridge, spanning the two gardens. If you stand on the promenade and look down, you can see the scene inside and outside the two gardens and even the Hibiscus Garden. In fact, this is the best place to "watch" the apricot banquet of the new science and technology scholars, but in order to avoid suspicion, they did not come here in the first place. Now that the Flower Explorer has come out, attracting people to watch it, they naturally don't have to be taboo anymore.

Li Hui picked up Princess Yong'an, leaned on the railing and looked down, and saw that the people gathered at the gate of the apricot orchard made a path in the middle like a diverted river. The prince walked out with another young newcomer and greeted everyone.

His face was delicate and delicate, warm as jade, with a calm bearing, and his gestures carried the unique elegance of the family, which made many people who had only seen the head of the new branch for the first time couldn't help but cheer loudly. And this young man is not as pale and thin as people imagine, he is tall and tall, wearing a white and blue cross-placket wide-sleeved robe, and his sleeves are full of light breeze when he walks, and his appearance is more and more outstanding.

Almost instantly, countless sachets and flowers fell from the sky, accompanied by the laughter of the little ladies, and smashed on him. He didn't dodge, he wasn't shy, and he didn't catch any of them, but he still walked calmly through the rain of sachets and flowers.

And, what is even more bizarre is that whatever hits him does not detract from his demeanor at all. On the contrary, it was the young jinshi who was with him, and after being smashed a few times, his head was a little crooked, so he had to smile bitterly and straighten his clothes. However, Rao is like this, he is still at ease, Qingjun's face is always smiling, and he is not covered by the demeanor of the king, but it makes many scholars and little ladies look up to him.

As a result, the crowd rang out one after another to ask: "Who is this person?" The king doesn't seem to be married, but what about him? Is he married? If you can't catch your son-in-law and catch the king's head, this new jinshi is also very good. Looking at the age, it's just a crown. ”

The two tanhua envoys struggled through the crowd, and finally joined up with their own slaves, took the reins of their horses and turned over, and their crisp and neat movements caused the crowd to surge. It's as if no matter what they're doing at the moment, someone cheers them on. In Li Hui's eyes, the two of them were like monkeys playing a hundred tricks, and those sachets and flowers thrown were not the rewards they received?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.

At this moment, Wang Zixian seemed to notice his gaze, and suddenly looked back, his eyebrows were flying, and his eyes were flowing.

Their eyes met in the air, but for a moment, they seemed to understand each other's thoughts. The prince shook his head helplessly and rode away, and his back did not know how many people admired him. Li Hui smiled a little deeper, which made Princess Yongan feel curious, and couldn't help but stretch out her chubby fingers and pinch his face: "What is Brother laughing at?" What's the fun out there? ”

"Nothing." Li Hui said with a smile, "Look, the flower exploration doesn't look like a fish swimming against the current?" ”

"Fish?" The little guy turned his head and took a closer look—the two flower explorers, who were supposed to be galloping horses, were still struggling to march through the oppressive crowd, and everywhere they went, they were so surprised that even the horses shook their heads and tails impatiently, didn't they look like fish in the stream?

She opened her eyes wide, smiled happily, and said, "Like! Resemble! It's fish! ”

Princess Changning couldn't help but laugh out loud, and squinted at her brother: "Is Brother watching the Flower Explorer, or watching a hundred operas?" ”

"Exploring flowers is like a play, watch them all." Li Hui replied.

Hearing this, the two nobles smiled more and more cutely and inspiringly. Even Wang Zimu showed a rare smile.

This situation fell into the eyes of some people in the Hibiscus Garden, and they had their own thoughts.
