"They're coming!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, everyone looked into the distance, close and close, the people under the city gate could not see clearly, but the emperor on the city saw clearly, the royal flag of the apocalypse was flying in the air!

The drums were loud and exciting, and Sheng Xue saw that he was too short, and although he stood at the forefront, he still couldn't see anything. After a while, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the people began to cheer. Bai He couldn't help but take the children a few steps forward.

As if in a dream, thousands of troops and horses galloped forward, and the figures in the dreams of the past really appeared in front of them at this moment, and they were back! The soldiers waved their flags and cheered, and it was none other than the Apocalypse Coach Duanmu Jinghua who was running at the front!

Wang Qi hunted, the drums shook, and in an instant Duanmu Jinghua led the army to the city, he stopped his horse and looked for the figure he had missed for a long time in the crowd.

Huangfu Chonglou shouted in the city: "Jinghua! After that, he led his ministers down from the city tower to greet Duanmu Jinghua. Seeing Huangfu Chonglou again, Duanmu Jinghua's heart could not hide a trace of excitement. The official of the Ministry of Rites on the side reminded: "Your Highness, it's time to greet the ceremony." ”

"I see!" The two of them saluted according to the requirements of the Ministry of Rites. Duanmu Jinghua drank the wind wine that Huangfu Chonglou came over. Then put the glass back. He raised his hand to the soldier behind him. Everyone laid down their arms one after another to reunite with their families who had been waiting for a long time at the city gate.

At the end of the salute on the side of Huangfu Chonglou, Lin Banxia hired Tingting to come over gracefully, and the eyes of the men present were all attracted by her, but the people she was looking at were not on her at all. Lin Banxia gritted his teeth, approached Duanmu Jinghua and said, "You're finally back." ”

Sheng Xue saw it from afar, handsome men and beautiful women standing together, the first talented and beautiful woman of the apocalypse, what a good match. But the sourness in my heart kept turning up.

"This son is not familiar with you." Duanmu Jinghua turned sideways to avoid Lin Banxia, and the cold words were like a heavy slap on Lin Banxia's face. "You!" When the words came to his mouth, Lin Banxia still swallowed. She can't do without the dignity of the prime minister's daughter. Everyone is so cold, can't she still stick it upside down?

Most of the officials who came today were Prime Minister Lin Cheng's disciples, and the scholars who came to see the style of Duanmu Jinghua admired Lin Banxia's elegance, and they sighed for Lin Banxia when they saw this situation. It made Lin Banxia earn a lot of favors.

Duanmu Jinghua didn't care about any of this. He searched through the crowd, his gaze landed somewhere, and then walked straight towards that place. People involuntarily give way to a road, and at the end of the road, there is Sheng Xuejian.

Duanmu Jinghua's footsteps are windy. No one understands the expectation and lovesickness of these steps, probably only the person he is looking at understands. Step by step, he walked in front of Sheng Xuejian and looked at her condescendingly, his eyes gentle.

Sheng Xue looked up at the young man, sleeping in the open made him lose some weight, but a pair of blue eyes were still so translucent and pure, exuding profundity, which made people involuntarily attracted. She said softly, "You're finally back." ”

Everyone's eyes were originally focused on Duanmu Jinghua, and the conversation between the two naturally became the focus of everyone's attention at this moment. No one could have imagined it. Duanmu Shizi rejected the first beauty of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he added to this little girl with his own eyes.

Bai He stood aside and coughed lightly: "It's windy outside the city, let's go back, right?" After speaking, he smashed Han Wei again. Han Wei immediately understood, and he was between the two, so he interrupted the two people's eyes: "Shizi, we still have to enter the palace to face the saint, so don't delay here, right?" ”

Sheng Xue saw that she naturally understood the priorities, she squinted and looked around, and Lin Banxia looked at herself coldly, and the resentment in her eyes was self-evident. It's really too eye-catching. Duanmu Jinghua's gaze crossed over Han Wei. Looking at Sheng Xue behind him.

She looked at him and nodded slightly. Duanmu Jinghua understood the meaning behind this nod: "Let's go, enter the palace." ”

After 20,000 men and horses met their families at the city gate, they continued to return to the camp under the leadership of the lieutenant general. Duanmu Jinghua took Han Wei into the palace to face the saint. The emperor has ordered the queen to hold a banquet in the palace. Although he didn't like Prince Gong's mansion, he still had to do superficial work.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were congratulating Prince Gong, and the emperor sat there with an expressionless face, and when he turned his head, the queen's interest seemed to be very high, and he toasted with Duanmu Jinghua. Looking at Prince Gong again, he looked at this scene with a happy face, and he didn't know why. There was a nameless fire in his heart.

20,000 horses pacified the frontier, which is not something that anyone can do, and the reward is naturally indispensable, but it is still the same as before, a large pile of gold, silver and jewelry. But there is no official position. Duanmu Jinghua was accustomed to such a situation, and indifferently thanked him.

Coming out of the palace, Huangfu Chonglou stopped Duanmu Jinghua: "It's finally back, let's go out and get together, Fang Cai is really silent, I don't want to talk anymore." Duanmu Jinghua frowned: "You just became the king of the county, so you can't have the appearance of the king of the county?" The military department is idle? ”

Huangfu Chonglou smiled indifferently: "The military department is very busy, but I can't get in, idler, you just triumphed, won't you be so busy?" Duanmu Jinghua pushed the person away lightly: "I'm going to see someone." ”

"I know!" Huangfu Chonglou clasped his hands in front of his chest, "It's Sheng Xue, see it, right." Speaking of which, you should be grateful to me, if it weren't for my help, I'm afraid you wouldn't have met the person you liked. ”

Duanmu Jinghua's expression was cold: "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that something happened to Ah Man? Huangfu Chonglou was stunned: "I've never seen you lose your temper like this for that girl, it turns out that Sheng Xue's nickname is Aman." Huangfu Chonglou was about to continue joking, and when he saw Duanmu Jinghua's cold gaze, he decided to speak well.

"I went to Izumoji Temple that day to visit the master in charge, but I didn't expect someone to want to kill Sheng Yukimi in the dense forest, but fortunately I arrived in time to save her from being poisoned. You really feel sorry for others, and you actually gave away both red and white plums. Alas...... Where are you going? ”

Duanmu Jinghua had no intention of listening to Huangfu Chonglou again. Walked straight towards the outside of the palace gate. He only wants to know now what happened to Ah Man in his absence!

Sheng Xue saw that she was making dim sum with Bai He in Prince Gong's mansion: "I brought all the dim sum from the chef of Feifeng Lou, and my uncle-in-law will definitely not be able to eat it by then." Bai He said with emotion: "He has suffered so much at the border again, so he should make up for it." ”

"What my aunt said is that my aunt loves to drink your duck soup the most, and Ah Man has a good mouth today." Sheng Xuejian then handed the flour ball in his hand to Bai He.

"Don't fight with your aunt, I saw it at the city gate today, what is going on with you and Duanmu Shizi? Although you are only eight years old, if Duanmu Shizi really takes a fancy to you......" Bai He's words were not finished. was stopped by Sheng Xuejian's eyes.

"Auntie, the prince of the palace, Ah Man is not worthy." Sheng Xue said lightly. If you hear these words in Bai He's ears, you won't be happy. "Why don't you deserve it? You are the daughter of a five-grade official, and you are a five-grade female official. Why can't you deserve it, it's more than enough to be a side concubine of the palace. ”

"But in this life, Ah Man just wants to be like his aunt! There is a person who will be good to me for the rest of my life! Sheng Xue saw that she looked at Bai He firmly, but she was stunned. After a long time, she sighed faintly: "You child." ”

"How do you know that I can't do it?" A warm, familiar voice rang out. Sheng Xue turned around in shock, and Duanmu Jinghua stood there, like a fairy. Before she came back to her senses, she heard Duanmu Jinghua say to her aunt, "I have something to talk about with Aman." ”

"Oh...... Well, I'm going to see how the soup is doing. Bai He washed his hands in a panic and walked out, leaving only the two of them in the room. Duanmu Jinghua just smiled faintly and didn't speak.

Sheng Xue saw that her cheeks were slightly red, and Fang Cai's words were all listened to by him, and now she was a little embarrassed. "Why is it so powerful, and now you don't say a word?" Sheng Xue looked up at him in annoyance: "What do you want me to say?" ”

"Why didn't you tell me. Are you being hunted down? Duanmu Jinghua's brows furrowed slightly, and he walked in front of Sheng Xuejian.

"It's all gone, it's all right now. What about you? When there are so many life and death at the border, have you taken good care of yourself? Sheng Xue looked up, and his watery eyes looked around Duanmu Jinghua's body, as if he didn't seem to have changed at all except for losing a little weight, if there was any change, it was a lot more slender.

"You've grown a lot, too." As if he had guessed what Sheng Xue was thinking, Duanmu Jinghua smiled slightly and said, "There is the wound medicine you sent." It's not hard to think about it. Sheng Xue saw this, and frowned: "Are you still hurt?" Where is the injury? ”

In a hurry, Sheng Xuejian couldn't help but grab Duanmu Jinghua's arm, he bullied him, bowed his head slightly, and the distance between him and her was only a palm: "Do you really want to see it?" ”

Sheng Xue saw that he could clearly hear the banter in his words. couldn't help but be annoyed: "It's not serious, I don't want to tell you." Annoyedly, he threw away Duanmu Jinghua, and Sheng Xue wanted to go out when he saw it. Who knew that Duanmu Jinghua fished with a backhand and brought people into his arms.

"Aman, I can do what you said." Duanmu Jinghua's eyes burned. Sheng Xue naturally knew the meaning of his words, and was about to open her mouth to answer, when she heard the door being pushed open from the outside. "Aman! The duck soup is ready! ”

Providence rushed in thoughtlessly, Sheng Xue was stunned and hurriedly pushed away from Duanmu Jinghua's arms. A suspicious flush fluttered across his cheeks. Tianzhi Duanmu Jinghua immediately saluted solemnly: "I didn't expect the prince to be here, hey, Aman, why is your face red, like a monkey's ass?" ”

"You're like a monkey's ass!" Sheng Xue glared at Tianyi angrily, then pushed him aside and walked outside. The second monk of Providence was puzzled, looked at Duanmu Jinghua strangely and asked, "Shizi, what's wrong with Aman?" ”

It is rare that Duanmu Jinghua did not have a cold face towards Providence, his expression was quite soft, but he didn't speak. Tianyi smiled and followed Sheng Xue out of the room.

In the evening, Sheng Yuanlian also came to the door with good wine, and the two families washed the dust for Han Wei together, and at the banquet, Han Wei talked about the border war, ups and downs, Sheng Xue saw it and quietly remembered it in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, it turned out that he had experienced so many things.

After dinner, Sheng Yuan took Sheng Xuejian home, the carriage was very quiet, and Sheng Xuejian was also thinking about his own thoughts. Suddenly, Sheng Yuan said coldly: "Aman, are you ...... to the son" "Don't say it father, Aman is only eight years old." ”

Sheng Yuanlian was slightly stunned, and looked at his well-behaved and lovely daughter blankly, yes, she was only eight years old, it seemed that he was thinking too much about himself. But although his daughter is small, Duanmu Shizi is not small, today he followed His Royal Highness the King of Jin to greet him at the city gate, and witnessed it with his own eyes, if Duanmu Shizi was not interested in his daughter, he would never believe it.

This night, Si Tianjian watched the stars at night and found that there were two small stars around the Emperor Star, which were much brighter than usual. Si Tianguan recorded the matter, but did not report it to the emperor.

Lin Banxia was humiliated at the gate of the city today, and he was very angry in his heart, and after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he closed the door, and Prime Minister Lin Cheng heard about it, so he was naturally angry. What's the big deal about Prince Gong's mansion, it's not that the emperor is suspicious, although there are many rewards, there is not half of the real power, and there is nothing to cling to such a noble.

Although Prince Gong's mansion has not yet formed a party, it has been included in the list of eradications by the second prince's faction. Sheng Xue didn't die when she saw the catastrophe, but the news of her assassination spread to the palace. Both the Queen Mother and Concubine De heard about it. Concubine De secretly sent someone to transfer several guards from the General's Mansion to protect them secretly, and the Queen Mother also sent spies to protect outside the palace, but it was not so easy for the second prince to do it again.

This matter is secret, but it is not a top secret, the second prince still figured out who is behind Sheng Xuejian, and what makes him strange is why the Queen Mother also intervenes in this matter? When Huangfu decided to report this matter to his mother Concubine Lin Guifei, Concubine Lin was silent.

"You don't have to worry about this anymore. Let's focus all our energy on the court. Right now, you are the most conspicuous of the adult princes in the court, and you must firmly grasp the favor of your father! Lin Guifei's face showed a tired look.

"Do you just let this Sheng Xue see continue to spoil our business? She overturned the case for the Bai family, and we lost a lot! The second prince was still angry.

"Although I can't attack her for the time being, there are too many things that can affect a woman's fate. There are too many ways to make a person no longer useful. Concubine Lin looked at her son meaningfully.

"I see." Emperor Fu Cassia also smiled viciously. Isn't marriage something that affects a woman's fate? (To be continued.) )
