On this day, the birthday of the king of Henan is coming, and they are going to dance at the dinner. Qiyun's dance has been rehearsed very skillfully, and Mama Xi is very satisfied, so she doesn't look at them so closely.

During the break in the dance practice, those dancing girls chattered and began to talk about the princes and nobles who came and went in the Henan Palace. A dancing girl in goose yellow clothes pretended to be mysterious to everyone, "The last time I saw that Mo Palace Master of the Chaoying Palace in the garden, have you ever seen him?" ”

"Ink Palace Master? Haven't seen it. The others shook their heads.

The yellow-shirted dancer admired herself, "It's a shame that you haven't seen him." I had the privilege of meeting him that day, and I had never seen a man like that. ”

"Looking at your spring-hearted appearance, does he look better than King Taiping? I don't think there's anyone in the world who can beat King Taiping's countenance. Another green-clad dancer said, looking incredulous.

When Qiyun heard the mention of "King Taiping", his heart moved, and he listened carefully to everyone's evaluation of him.

"Well, King Taiping is also very good, how can I say it." The yellow-shirted dancer thought for a moment, "He's probably the only one who can compete with King Taiping." The two have their own merits, King Taiping is superior in momentum, and the palace master of Chaoying Palace is even more stunning. For example, if King Taiping is the dragon and phoenix among people, then the palace master of the Chaoying Palace is not a human at all. It can be said that he is an immortal or a demon, but he is not like a human anyway. If he could look at me, even if he died instantly, it would be worth it. ”

"Wow, no. I'm afraid that your little hooves have moved the hearts of mortals, and there is something in the eyes of lovers, right? Suddenly, the dancers were in an uproar, as if they had exploded, and only Qiyun was silent with a smile in the crowd.

A blue-shirted dancer interjected, "Alas, I think the Prince Helian who I saw last time with King Taepyeong to see the princess dancing is also very handsome!" ”

"Well, Prince Nahelian has a very good appearance and figure, but I just feel that he is full of cold air, and before he comes to him, I am afraid that he will freeze to death." The people on the side should be in harmony.

"If you want to talk about cold, I don't think anyone can compare to the Lord of the Ink Palace. At that time, I saw him walking with Prince Helian, and Prince Helian's demeanor was immediately compared to that of the Lord of the Ink Palace. The yellow-shirted dancer said again, successfully attracting everyone's attention again.

"Really? When, we must also meet the ink palace master before we can be willing. The crowd sighed.

Another purple-shirted dancer who had not spoken for a long time said, "Do you know the Tao? Recently, there was a prince in the royal hotel, and I heard that it was the king of Yidu sent by Liu Song to negotiate peace. I met him on the road yesterday, and I saw that he was also extremely handsome and chic, but he looked too weak. ”

When Qiyun heard her say, "King Yidu is here", her heart moved slightly, and she quietly left everyone, and she didn't have time to change her dance clothes, so she walked away lightly with her skirt. Along the way, I inquired about the location of the king of Yidu in your hotel, and when I arrived at the wall of your hotel, I raised my left hand lightly and threw out a long silk to bind the branches. One flew up the wall and quietly fell into the courtyard where Liu Yilong, the king of Yidu, lived.

The guards were guarding the gate of the garden, but there were no guards in the courtyard, and it seemed to be quietly empty. Qiyun approached the window, and through the half-open window, he saw Liu Yilong wearing a green jade robe and a jade crown on his head, sitting upright at the desk, staring intently at the scroll in his hand, with a tea cup in his hand, steaming hot.

Qiyun looked at this scene in a daze, and the scene that she often saw in Liu's Mansion when she was a child seemed to reappear in front of her, as if she was in a different world. Compared with two years ago, although his face is still so pale, he is more handsome and elegant, dignified and introverted. made Qiyun suddenly think of the Book of Songs? Qi Ao" in the poem: "Zhan Bi Qi Ao, green bamboo." There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. ”

Qiyun stood silently under the shadow of the flower, looking at Yilong's thin body, hearing a few coughs from time to time, his heart was sour: You are still so sick and weak, so quiet. I'd rather stay alone and read a book than join in the fun. Brother Elan, for more than two years, are you okay? Are the eldest sisters in the family, Yifu, and Yizhen okay? Have you ever thought about the clouds when you were young?

Do you know the way, I really miss the days when I grew up with you in Liu Mansion, and I really want to go in to see you and share my feelings with you. However, in what capacity can I catch up with you now? I have chosen to help King Taiping of the Northern Wei Dynasty and become your adversary enemy. You must be very sad and sad to see me and Tuoba Tao together. So, please forgive Yun'er for not being able to meet you.

Qiyun looked at it for a long time, and finally turned around and flew over the wall and out of the courtyard. Liu Yilong sat down and read the book, and faintly felt something strange in his heart, as if he felt that two eyes were staring at him. He looked up suddenly, just in time to see the back of Qiyun flying out.

Liu Yilong chased after him, feeling that the person's back was so familiar and so delicate, he leaned on the door in a daze and meditated for a while, then raised his voice and called Zhu Rongzi, who was a Chinese soldier with him, to come in, and asked, "Zhu Shenjun, did you find anyone who entered our courtyard just now?" ”

Zhu Rongzi made a gesture and replied, "Back to the prince, my subordinates haven't seen anyone come in." ”

Liu Yilong paced two steps, "Then why did this king see a figure flying out of the courtyard, with extraordinary skills, it seems to be the back of a young woman." And it seems to be wearing a dance costume and a long silk. ”

Zhu Rongzi said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates quietly went to inquire about who might be secretly spying on the prince." ”

Liu Yilong said: "As envoys, we came to the Great Wei peace talks, and we had to be more careful in what we did and have a long mind. On the one hand, we must be cautious of etiquette, so that no one can take our handle and find us wrong. Otherwise, the small ones will be in trouble, and the big ones will bring disaster to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"My subordinates understand that I will be extremely cautious." Zhu Rongzi should go down.

Liu Yilong instructed: "Okay, you can go." Also, you go and call Wang Hua and Kong Ningzi to this king. ”

Sima Wang Hua and Kong Ningzi, who joined the army, heard the news and hurried to see Liu Yilong. Liu Yilong invited them to sit down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and asked, "Now, how is the situation in the palace of Henan?" ”

Wang Hua bowed his hand and said: "Back to the prince, this time the Wei State has done two things together, such as making peace with our Great Song Dynasty and wishing the king of Henan a birthday." During this time, people came and went, and the palace was very lively. ”

Liu Yilong asked: "Are we ready for the birthday gift of Henan Wang?" ”

Wang Hua replied: "Lord Wang, please rest assured, everything is ready." ”

Liu Yilong asked again: "Although we are against them Wei State, we can't lose our etiquette." Recently, the king of Henan has celebrated his birthday, what other important people are among their guests? ”

Wang Hua stepped forward and whispered, "The eldest son of the Emperor of Wei and Princess Shiping came to celebrate their birthday on behalf of their emperor, and the most important thing is that among their guests is Prince Helian of Hu Xia. ”

Kong Ningzi was a little puzzled, "Aren't Hu Xia and Wei Guo mortal enemies?" How could it be ......"

Liu Yilong said in a deep voice: "There are no permanent enemies in the world, and there are no permanent friends, the key is interests. What's more, the exchange of envoys is only superficial, which does not mean that they have no contradictions. However, we need to be more mindful of both of them, and it is better not to let them get too close. Otherwise, it will be bad for our Great Song. ”

"My subordinates understand." Wang Hua and Kong Ningzi replied in unison.
