The lights on the painting boat are bright, a woman is slim and slim, the sound of the flute rises to the sky and goes straight down, the sound of the flute fades and the sound of the piano rises again, the woman lightly opens her red lips and sings: "Leaning on the wind of the dangerous building." Looking at the extreme spring sorrow, the sky is secretly born. In the grass-colored smoke and light afterglow, who would rely on the meaning of the column, and plan to get drunk with the crazy picture, and use the wine as a song, and the strong music is still tasteless......"

With the singing of the woman's dance, the dance turned the red sleeves back, fluttering like a god, the socks were dusty, the gorgeous graceful danced lightly, and the golden steps on the head shook with the dancing posture reflecting the lake light and a little afterglow.

Even Liu Xuan also looked at it for a while, and the dance stopped at the end of the song, but everyone couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The painting boat also swung to the water pavilion at this time, Cao Ying slowly walked up to the water pavilion, and she bowed down to the upper seat Ying Ying in the amazed eyes of everyone: "Ying dances and wishes the saint good health, and may the country be prosperous." ”

Everyone looked at Cao Ying more and continued to admire, and the emperor also showed a rare smile: "This dance is very good, you have a heart, give a seat." ”

Cao Ying thanked her and slowly sat down on the side of the concubine.

King Gong smiled at her and said, "Your song is comparable to the Yaochi Immortal Dance, and this king is eye-opening." ”

Cao Ying smiled and praised King Gong, but her eyes drifted to Li Che, and even the palace maids and eunuchs could see the meaning.

Liu Xuan was silent and lowered her head to serve the vegetables, her stomach was hungry.

King Gong looked at Cao Ying's appearance, smiled and stopped talking, but Cao Ying got up and raised a glass to Li Che: "The prince is in charge of the country and works hard for state affairs, Ying'er is deeply admired, and I hereby salute His Royal Highness the prince with a glass of thin wine to express her admiration." ”

She held her glass but didn't drink it. Obviously waiting for Li Che's answer, Li Che glanced at her, and then took a drink from the wine glass, and did not say the first half of the sentence from beginning to end.

Cao Ying didn't care, and when she saw him drink it, her smile was even bigger, and she slowly drank the wine in the cup at the moment, and then sat down.

Liu Xuan noticed the gaze of everyone towards her, she wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, and looked up slightly shyly and smiled at everyone: "I entered the palace early in the morning, and I am a little hungry at the moment." ”

As soon as she said this, she immediately drew a burst of laughter. Even the emperor couldn't help but smile: "Eat more." Don't let Mrs. Liu think that I have treated his righteous daughter badly. ”

The intimacy in the words was understood by everyone, and Queen Cao's eyes changed and changed, and then she said with a smile: "Okay, okay, if it's cold, if you don't use it quickly, I'm afraid that this meal will be cold." Everyone nodded yes, and Empress Cao clapped her hands. Suddenly, a singer and a dancing girl walked in. The water pavilion suddenly calmed down with singing and dancing.

Liu Xuan was about to continue eating. But feeling Cao Ying's gaze towards her, Liu Xuan looked at her and saw her showing a friendly smile to herself. This smile was a little sincere, Liu Xuan blinked slightly, and then smiled at her slightly, and then lowered her head again to eat.

This meal was eaten until the end of the day, and Dongmei did not serve at the dinner, and Liu Xuan came out of the water pavilion to greet her.

Liu Xuan came out behind King Ning, Li Che glanced at her when he passed by her, but she deliberately ignored it, and only followed King Ning out of the water pavilion, Dongmei greeted King Ning and saluted, and then came to Liu Xuan's ear and said: "Your Highness has an order, let the young lady go back with him." ”

Before Liu Xuan could respond, he saw King Ning walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and King Ning turned around and looked at Dongmei and said, "This king sent Miss Xuan back and told that bastard boy to go back by himself!" ”

Dongmei looked at Liu Xuan with some embarrassment when she heard this, and Liu Xuan nodded at her: "Tell Your Highness that Prince Ning will send me back and let him rest assured." ”

Dongmei heard her words, so she turned around and told Li Che.

King Ning snorted coldly in the direction of Dongmei's departure, and then strode forward, Liu Xuan hurriedly took two steps forward to follow closely, along the way King Ning didn't say a word, Liu Xuan only lowered her head and hurried, King Ning's pace was a little fast for her, she had to trot two steps from time to time to barely fall behind.

The more she walked out, the quieter it became, Liu Xuan followed King Ning for a long time, and finally saw that she was about to reach the palace gate, and at this time there was silence all around, except for her and King Ning and her party.

King Ning suddenly stopped, turned around and frowned at her: "Cao Hong's house was ...... to you that day."

He said half of it but couldn't go on, Liu Xuan understood what he meant and hurriedly shook his head: "No, just a few bites." ”

King Ning listened to her words and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his smile was obviously a little suppressed, and his face looked a little unnatural, after a while, he smiled and gritted his teeth and said: "You were only bitten by a few bites by pigs, but you let that bastard pick up the cheap for no reason." ”

After he finished speaking, he stared at Liu Xuan again, he seemed to want to say something to Liu Xuan, but in the end he only turned into a sigh, turned around and walked out again.

Liu Xuan followed King Ning out of the palace gate, as soon as she got out of the palace gate, she saw Dongmei standing next to the carriage with a cloak waiting for her, and when she saw Liu Xuan coming out, Dongmei immediately stepped forward to put on a cloak for her, and walked to the carriage with her.

King Ning turned over and got on the horse, Liu Xuan also got into the carriage with Dongmei, and the carriage slowly drove towards the outside of the palace.

Leaving the palace gate is not as necessary to go through the guards as when you come, King Ning and Liu Xuan and their entourage went all the way unimpeded, but only after passing through the second palace gate, the carriage stopped again, Liu Xuan was puzzled and heard King Ning scolding outside the carriage: "Bastard boy!" Are you worried that Lao Tzu will hurt this girl?! ”

As soon as the three words of bastard boy came out, Liu Xuan knew that it was Li Che who came, except for Deng Yu, the only one who could make King Ning call him a bastard, she frowned slightly, in fact, she didn't want to see him at all at the moment.

Li Che's clear voice came from outside the carriage again: "The night is heavy, King Ning has a chronic illness or go back to the palace earlier, and send Xuan'er back to the palace to the palace." ”

King Ning snorted coldly again: "Lao Tzu's body is very strong, it will not be a problem to live for a few more decades, when Lao Tzu fights with the emperor, your kid is still breastfeeding!" ”

Liu Xuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard King Ning's words in the carriage, she raised her eyes and saw that Dongmei was also covering her mouth and snickering, and it happened that Dongmei also looked at her, and the two suddenly laughed in the car.

Li Che stood beside the carriage and wore a mink fur, his handsome face was even more handsome under the illumination of the lights. Hearing King Ning's words, he coughed lightly: "King Ning is naturally hard-boned, but although Xuan'er has not passed the door, she is the crown princess of the palace who was personally ordered by her father, and this escort is still done by the palace." ”

When King Ning heard this, he didn't let it go: "If the Holy Lord can make a decree, he can naturally withdraw his will, not to mention that the marriage date is undecided, everything is variable, you bastard boy is too conceited!" ”

"Hongu is not conceited." Li Che said lightly: "This palace is bound to win. ”

Although his voice was faint, the firm meaning in it was clear to everyone, King Ning looked at him standing outside the carriage, handsome and independent in the wind, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Since this is the case." You might as well ask what Xuan girl means. If she is willing to let you send it away, this king will naturally not be bored. ”

Liu Xuan heard King Ning's words in the carriage, and immediately lowered his eyes and fell silent, Li Che waited in front of the second palace gate. And it's so imperative. She really didn't know if she should go with him.

When Li Che heard this, the color in his eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly: "That's it, Uncle Lao Deng sent Xuan'er back to the house, and the palace took the first step." ”

He got into the carriage. Listening to the sound of the carriage moving away and moving away, Liu Xuan had mixed tastes.

King Ning saw that he was leaving like this, and he was speechless for a while, and was slightly stunned before ordering to continue walking.

King Ning sent Liu Xuan all the way to Liufu, Liu Zhiqing was already waiting outside Liufu, and he was slightly surprised to see that King Ning sent Liu Xuan back, he thanked King Ning, but King Ning just nodded and turned his horse's head and left.

Liu Xuan got out of the carriage, and Liu Zhiqing hurriedly asked, "I heard that you fainted in the palace, is it a big problem?" ”

Liu Xuan shook her head with a smile, winked at Liu Zhiqing and said, "That's if I don't faint, I'm afraid I really have to stand until I faint." ”

Liu Zhiqing knew what she meant when she heard it, and said with a smile at the moment: "If you are as witty as you are, you naturally won't wait until then, but we are too worried." ”

Liu Xuan was walking towards the mansion with Liu Zhiqing, and when she heard this, she stopped and frowned and said, "Do you even know about your father-in-law and mother-in-law?" ”

Liu Zhiqing kept motioning to Liu Xuan to go to the house: "In order to avoid my mother's worry, no one has told her yet, and my father and I and Zhiming are aware." ”

Liu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that my stepmother doesn't know, if she knows, she will definitely worry about me, but it's mine." ”

Liu Zhiqing looked at her and smiled slightly: "No matter what, it's okay, father and mother are waiting for you in the yard, as for the fainting, since my mother doesn't know, I don't have to tell her, so she doesn't have to guess." ”

Liu Xuan nodded and followed Liu Zhiqing all the way to the backyard, Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhiming were in Liu's mother's house, Liu Xuan greeted Liu Mu as soon as she entered the main house, and her face was slightly worried: "What's the matter?" Is the Holy One still satisfied with you today? Then has Queen Cao ever embarrassed you? ”

Liu Xuan smiled at Liu's mother soothingly and did not answer her words, but first greeted Mrs. Liu and Liu Zhiming, and then took Liu's mother's hand and sat down with her, she smiled and said: "Xuan'er doesn't know whether the saint is dissatisfied with Xuan'er, but the saint called Xuan'er as Xuan'er during the banquet." ”

She said this with a hint of shyness, and Mother Liu immediately smiled when she heard it, and she patted Liu Xuan's hand with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, good, the saint is cold, he must be extremely satisfied with you if he can call you like this." ”

Liu Xuan smiled noncommittally, and Liu Mu asked again: "Then Queen Cao has been embarrassed by you?" Their Cao family is bent on giving the daughter of the Cao family to the crown prince as the crown princess, and now that you have robbed the identity of the crown princess, Queen Cao must be very dissatisfied with you, she is used to running rampant in the palace, you must be troubled by her when you enter the palace this time, right? ”

"It's not difficult." Liu Xuan comforted Mother Liu and said: "I just waited for a while when I saw the queen's mother, and then the saint and the prince arrived, and Queen Cao didn't have time even if she had any thoughts." ”

Mother Liu was completely relieved when she heard this, and Mrs. Liu on the side looked at Liu Xuan quietly, and then said to Mother Liu: "It's not early, Xuan'er must be tired from going to the banquet in the palace, it's not too late to say anything tomorrow, let's go down and rest early today." ”

Mother Liu smiled and nodded yes, smiled at Liu Xuan and asked her to rest earlier, Liu Xuan got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, but Liu Zhiqing suddenly said: "I and Zhiming sent my sister." ”

Liu Xuan's house is not far from the next door, this is naturally just an excuse, Liu's mother glanced at Liu Zhiqing with disgust: "You brothers and sisters don't have to talk too late, Xuan'er must have drunk wine when she went to the banquet, let her rest early." ”

Liu Zhiqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Mother looks at her like this, how can there be a trace of alcohol, even if there is no trace of alcohol on her body, her little bit of alcohol is very clear, if she really drinks wine tonight, I am afraid that she will be carried back at this moment." ”

Liu Xuan heard a hint of helplessness on her face, but Mrs. Liu and Mother Liu both had smiles on their faces, and Mother Liu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is considerate of Xuan'er, although she has not drunk alcohol, but it is already late today, you two must not delay Xuan'er's rest." ”

Liu Zhiqing and Liu Zhiming nodded yes, and then walked out of the main house with Liu Xuan.

Dongmei led the way for the three of them in front of the lamp, and the three of them were speechless all the way, until they arrived at Liu Xuan's courtyard and entered the study on one side After the three of them sat down, Liu Zhiming asked first: "I heard that the righteous sister fainted in front of the Qiankun Palace, is the righteous sister unwell?" ”

Liu Xuan smiled and shook her head, and then said that she had stood in front of the Qiankun Palace for a long time and then deliberately fainted, and then said that after she fainted, the reaction of Empress Cao and others, she did not mention that she was stunned by Dong Meizhen, only said that the imperial doctor gave her a pulse, and then rested in the side hall of the Qiankun Palace.

Liu Zhiming sighed lightly after hearing this: "The holy harem is not full, then Queen Cao is used to running rampant in the harem, and she is so blatantly embarrassed with you, she is relying on the saint not to blame her for your affairs." ”

Liu Zhiqing also said on the side: "Queen Cao has been doing it for so many years, she no longer knows what forbearance is, and she has become more and more bold and unscrupulous, you have stood in front of the Qiankun Palace for a long time and fainted, although she can be excused as a eunuch who has not reported it, but a clear-eyed person can see that she is deliberately making things difficult, if you are really stupid and wait until she summons her, I am afraid that it is already the beginning of the dinner, and you are very clever in fainting, not only to avoid the suffering of cold, but also to attract the Holy Lord and His Royal Highness, although the Holy Lord will not punish her for you, but the heart will be somewhat biased towards you." ”

Liu Xuan didn't pretend to be stupid in front of them, and nodded at the moment: "That's what I thought at the time, even if I didn't alarm the Holy Lord at that time, but the Holy Lord will definitely know about it afterwards when I fainted in front of the Qiankun Palace." ”

Liu Zhiming looked at Liu Xuan and raised his eyebrows: "The righteous sister is really as smart as my brother said, but we are too worried." ”

Liu Xuan sighed: "I was also forced to be unable to do so, if that Queen Cao was not so reckless, if she was not making things difficult on the surface, but making some secret moves, I could only suffer a loss." (To be continued......)
