[66] The Lantern Festival must pay its debts

Looking at this little face that was the same as her son, Hua Xiyan remembered that she had pinched the face of this little prince, so she suddenly retracted her hand and bluffed her son: "Mumu, come out quickly." ”

Seeing that his mother stopped beating him, Hua Murong crawled out from under the table, touched the small gray bridge of his nose, and asked the prince who entered the door: "What are you doing here?" ”

Could it be that he said that his mother is coming, and he is here to rob his mother?

Hua Xiyan knocked on her son's brain: It's rude.

Xiao Mumu clasped his hands anyway, with a hostile expression.

Li Dongyu put the bird cage and snacks on the table unhurriedly, and said, "I just made some crab roe dumplings for me in the imperial dining room, I tasted it pretty good, and I thought I owed you a debt last time, so I asked the imperial dining room to make a few more and bring them to you to taste." ”

The smell that rushed to his nose immediately made the snack snacker suck his saliva, and he raised his cuffs to wipe it: "Just to send me food?" ”

"Lie to you that you're a puppy."

It is rare that the elegant little prince will say a common saying.

The snack seller believed it, jumped on the stool, couldn't wait to remove the cover of the dim sum cage, and grabbed a dumpling with his hand: "Mother, you eat." ”

"Mother is not hungry, you can eat." Hua Xiyan took a handkerchief and wiped the bun crumbs from the corners of her son's mouth first.

Nini the little pig listened to the hostess not eating, and jumped on the little master's little hand to grab the dumplings. No, the two snack goods started a big shelf again.

Hua Xiyan sighed and looked at the other side.

Li Dongyu held the teacup in a pair of small hands, his movements were as beautiful as a painting, and he drank slowly in small sips, with a calm atmosphere, the same as his father.

What kind of child is really born. Hua Xiyan thought.

Seeing her looking over, Ying Ting's little eyebrows were raised, and Li Dongyu slowly spoke: "I heard that Yan Shangshu has to serve the saint every day, and Yan Shangshu has worked hard." ”

This son knows her father very well, and knows that those who serve his father will work hard. Clever and considerate little prince, good boy. Hua Xiyan sighed, recalling the silhouette of the dragon face he had just seen in the Yongning Palace, but he couldn't say that his father was not good at all, but he could only say that he was not a strict and lenient leader, and said: "The Holy Sun has all the opportunities, and it is harder than anyone else." ”

may not have thought that she would speak so highly of his father, his noble little eyes were slightly stunned, and a slightly shy smile appeared at the corner of his lips because she praised his father.

"Your Highness, has my son caused trouble to His Highness?" As the child's mother, Hua Xiyan decided to say hello to the child's "classmates", especially since the child is still the child of the leader.

When the snack seller heard his mother's words, he stuffed the dumplings into his mouth and rushed to say, "It's him who bothered me." ”

Hua Xiyan glared at her son: How many times have you said that if you talk after eating, you will choke.

Li Dongyu looked at their mother and son, lowered his eyebrows, and said slowly: "No, the playboy didn't trouble the palace." ”

Hua Xiyan naturally didn't believe this, she knew best what her son was, but she didn't expect this little prince to have such a good temperament and was willing to treat her son patiently, and said: "Your Highness, if my son does something wrong, I hope Your Highness will treat him like his own brother, reprimand him and spur him." ”

Xiao Meiyu, who was a little depressed, quickly raised like a sail, and his noble little eyes shone brightly, full of joy: "Yan Shangshu's words, this palace will remember it." ”

The snack was unhappy, hugged the grievance and asked the mother: "Mother, will I do anything wrong?" Why do you want him to educate me? ”

Because, son, you have only been pitted by two people in your life. One is his father, and the other is him. These two are the only ones who can restrain you from studying hard.

Hua Xiyan slowly stroked the back of her son's head, and then looked at Xiao Yan, who was the same as her son, on the other side, and when she said the word like a brother, in fact, she didn't think much about it herself, everything was spontaneous. Her son is her flesh and blood, and of course she loves it. However, this motherless little prince was also hurt.

How good it would be if the palace queen was alive, and how much she could hurt this child who was deeply lonely in the palace.

Receiving the gaze in her eyes, the pity in it, Li Dongyu's little eyebrows twisted crampedly, and quickly lowered his little face, wanting to cover his somewhat hot face with his hands. He was lonely, and someone cared for and sympathized with him, flattering him, just as he did when he pretended to be her child.

"Mother, will you stay here tonight to sleep with Mu Mu?" The snack guy grabbed the sleeve of the mother's shirt and didn't let go.

"How many nights have you slept alone?" Hua Xiyan helped her son pull the cuffs again and straighten his clothes.

"Sleep with Nini. Nini slept restlessly and didn't sleep comfortably with her mother in her arms. ”

My son is a big pillow when she is a big pillow. Considering that Lucui's injury was almost healed and there was no need for night care, Hua Xiyan said to her son, "Okay, my mother will sleep with you tonight." ”

The snack guy was so happy that he jumped up and down.

On the other end, another small face was slightly low. Suddenly, I heard a gust of wind blow through the door. Li Dongyu narrowed his small eyes, and looked out of the crack in the door, as if he could see a familiar shadow.

Is it his father?

It's weird. During this time, his father secretly came to visit him for a long time, and it was much longer. Let him be careful and have to wonder if it is the relationship between Hua Xiyan's mother and son who stayed in the palace.

"Your Highness." After Gonggong Zhang entered the door, he said carefully in his ear, "The Holy One asked you to accompany him in Yongning Hall tonight." ”

The little eyes were slightly stunned, and then immediately nodded. When he jumped off the chair to leave, he turned back to the snack and said, "Mumu, after eating the dumplings, I will ask someone to bring some hawthorn water, you have to drink it, so as not to accumulate food, and when the time comes, you will have to drink bitter medicine if you are sick." ”

The snack seller cocked his little nose and muttered, "I won't accumulate food." ”

Hua Xiyan had to knock on her son's brain. The snack seller twisted his head awkwardly, and finally bowed to the other party: "I, Hua Murong, thank the prince for the dumplings and hawthorn water." ”

The noble little corners of the lips smiled, looking satisfied and satisfied, and stepped out of the threshold.

At night, gently patting his son's little back, thinking about how to reply to the eldest princess's invitation tomorrow.

In the courtyard, father and son walked slowly, one after the other. The moonlight shone on the figures of the two, as if one was copying the other, but the size was different, and even the steps were in a rhythm.

"Huh, do you like her?" After thinking about it for a long time, his voice was slightly dull, and it came from the front.

Li Dongyu looked down at his steps and was silent for a long time.

As a last resort, the man who was the father in front had no choice but to promise sincerely: "To tell the truth, ζ±Ήζ±Ή." My father will not embarrass her, let alone embarrass you. ”

The Son of Heaven made a promise, the little prince's lips opened slightly, and he spit out two words: "I like it." The voice was low, but still cautious.

"What does Henry like about her?"

"I don't know what to do."

"I don't know what to do?" Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, such an ambiguous answer would come from his son's small mouth.

After all, his son is the same as him, and he likes to be more serious about everything.

"I don't know how to do it, I just think she's nice and warm."

"Like the nurse who used to hold you."

"No, better than the nurse, I like it more. I like everything about her, and I like Mumu. ”

This is probably the most sincere conversation that their father and son have had in many years. Li Zimo thought, and the corner of his eyes slowly swept over his son's small figure following him, almost the same as when he was a child.

Is it his fault?

It is true that he has not received much maternal love from Empress Dowager Hu since he was a child. Empress Dowager Hu taught him since he was a child to beware of anyone, including his father. However, the first emperor brought him in and educated him personally, although the first emperor was harsher than the Empress Dowager Hu, but he could make him feel a kind of kind love that took care of him.

So he really doesn't know much about maternal love. Due to the early death of his wife, all kinds of complicated situations inside and outside the palace can only make him make up his mind to raise his son in person like the first emperor.

"I, in the past, I liked the first emperor more. I don't know if I think I'm not good enough to be as good as the first emperor, so I want my mother. ”

"No, it's not." Xiao Longyan raised his head in a panic and shook his head in surprise, "Father is very good." Every time I saw my father working hard to solve politics, I always hated myself for not being able to help at all. ”

The son is so well-behaved, even better than when he was in front of the first emperor. Reached over and hugged his son's little shoulder: "Tell me, if you like her, do you want her to be your mother?" ”

Xiao Yan immediately lowered his head again, not daring to make a sound.

"Because that kid is right? Because you look at that child who looks like you, you think if you are like that child and have her as a mother. ”

"Father-" The little shoulders were a little nervous, but the little prince's firmness was reflected in the small mouth, "I didn't think about this thought." Because I know that I only have one mother. If you recognize another woman as a mother, it is the most unfilial thing to the mother who has passed away. You must not do such a thing. ”

Seeing that his son seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, Li Zimo squinted, and after thinking about it, he didn't ask any more. However, from the words that his son had just answered, he could feel that his son's feelings were the same as his. It stands to reason that the son's feelings should be more reliable than his, because the mother and son are connected.

But for what? Why can't she even play cinnabar? Why can a person who sleeps in the earth be transformed into another person?

What should he believe, believe in himself and his son, or believe in what is in front of him.

Palace.

When Gong Xiangru returned home, he heard from the servant that the county lord had come, so he went to visit the palace lady to ask for details.

"Oh." Mrs. Gong heard her son ask about the county lord, and sighed softly, "The county lord was grounded by the saint and was in a panic, so he came to our house." Nothing else, you can rest assured. ”

Gong Xiangru heard that there was nothing to do, and he put down a stone in his heart. Although the county lord of Ji Yao is simple-minded, once there is any problem, after all, he is a county lord, and the palace family will be responsible.

Madame Gong raised her head, looked at her son, and pondered the question she had stored in her heart for a few days and took the opportunity to speak: "The county lord said that she met that Yan Shangshu in the palace. ”

"Yan Shangshu? How did the mother notice this man? "The palace is like an accident, and the palace lady, who likes to ignore things outside the window, will care about some rumors.

Mrs. Gong lowered her head, pondered the teacup in her hand, and said as if she had brought it over and said, "No, I just heard the county lord talk about this person, and it was very interesting and interesting, which made me curious." ”

"Interesting?"

"Didn't you say it was the red man in front of the saint?"

Gong Xiangru's face was slightly pale, thinking of what Li Zimo said to him under the willow tree before. The meaning of the Holy is obvious, whether to kill or not to kill, it is just a matter of thought.

"Mother, the holy celebrity, does not mean anything good." Gong Xiangru opened lightly.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows. How could she not know. After all, her husband, her son, and her daughter are all like this. Her face was stunned, and a faint worry gathered between Mrs. Gong's eyebrows: "I heard from the county lord that she was summoned by the Queen Mother for questioning." ”

"Mother seems to care about this man." Seeing that Mrs. Gong continued to ask questions again and again, making people not suspicious, Gong Xiangru looked at her mother's face, as if she was looking for unusual signs on it.

"I'm listening to the county lord, and I think it's quite interesting." Seeing that her son was suspicious, Mrs. Gong quickly cut off the conversation, changed the topic and said, "By the way, the eldest princess's mansion has sent an invitation and wants to invite people from our palace to participate in the lantern festival." ”

"Did Mother refuse?" Gong Xiangru picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he had known about this matter for a long time.

"Nope. I'd like to hear your own opinion. Mrs. Gong replied.

After drinking tea, Gong Xiangru said, "If the saint wants to go, I will definitely have to accompany him." But the saint probably won't go, and the saint promised me to help me refuse. If Mother wants to go there to relieve her boredom, I will ask Uncle Sixth to accompany you. ”

After hearing her son's words, Mrs. Gong immediately smiled understandingly, and said, "I know that you won't go." But at your age, which girl you like, remember to tell your mother first. ”

"Needless to say. Whoever really respects my mother, I will marry. Gong Xiangru said softly.

Mrs. Gong raised her veil to cover her mouth, because she was amused by her son's words.

"Mother, let you go into the house to rest. Tomorrow night, if you are going, I will have the carriage ready. With that, Gong Xiangru got up and helped Mrs. Gong up.

Mother and son walked into the house. Gong Xiangru glanced around the room and found that a scroll of paintings resting on his mother's desk was missing.

Sensing his gaze, Mrs. Gong said, "Jinxi's painting, the county lord likes it, and I gave it to the county lord." ”

When Miya-like heard this, his lips were tightly closed.

Seeing that her son didn't like to be taken away from his sister's relics, Mrs. Gong sighed: "It's similar, Jinxi has been gone for so long." Also, she belongs to everyone who likes her. It is a good thing for her that the county lord likes her and misses her. ”

"She doesn't necessarily have the temperament to appreciate Jinxi's paintings."

Seeing that her son was still awkward, Mrs. Gong had to shut up.

The next day, Hua Xiyan wanted Li Shunde to help him go back to the eldest princess's mansion, but said that she would not go. At this time, the county lord Ji Yao sent a message from the eldest princess's mansion, saying that he hoped that she would go to the Lantern Festival and had something to tell her. Thinking that the county lord must have something urgent to tell her, he let her use this opportunity to leave the palace.

Hua Xiyan considered that if she went to the princess's mansion and went directly to the princess to find the lord of Ji Yao, it would not be troublesome without dealing with others, so she asked Li Shunde to respond to the people in the eldest princess's mansion and said that she would go.

Li Shunde listened to her reply here, and he must have returned to Li Zimo first. So, that afternoon, after receiving the envoys, there was no other important business, and I wanted to listen to the holy face of the song with the ministers in the imperial garden, but I wandered around the house.

Soon after, Yifeng received an order to prepare for the car.

Hua Xiyan borrowed a set of passable clothes from Aunt Liu to put on, and prepared to go to the eldest princess's mansion by herself. Of course, before you go, you have to talk to the emperor first. However, presumably he would not disagree, after all, this was an invitation post from his aunt.

Dressed neatly, he came to his side, but Li Shunde stood at the door waiting for her, and said, "The saint is waiting for Yan Shangshu to pass in the carriage." ”

He's going to the Lantern Festival too? How had she never heard of it?

Hua Xiyan was stunned for a while, and was dragged to the door by Li Shun.

On the side of the corner gate, a carriage was parked, saying that it was a royal car, but in addition to receiving guests and national ceremonies, the Tanglin Emperor did not like to ride the splendid royal carriage, and preferred the simple carriage that seemed to be no different from the civilian in disguise.

Hua Xiyan can imagine that this person is used to patrolling in micro-clothes. An emperor who seems dull on the outside, but on the inside, he is full of playfulness. It's just that this time I'm going to the eldest princess's mansion, and she and him are in the same carriage, how can you not let people chew their tongues.

Didn't he deliberately snub her these days?

Studied but cannot comprehend. She stepped onto the footstool and stepped into the carriage. When he got to the car, he realized that he was not alone. Gong Xiangru sat on the other side of the couch, carefully crossing his hands on his cuffs, looking extremely restrained.

"I heard that you are playing chess very well, Yan Shangshu. Gong Qing said that your son's backgammon has beaten Gong Qing. Yan Shangshu came to kill a game with me. Long Yan opened his mouth and tapped his fingers on the chessboard.

Gong Xiangru immediately gave up the seat to her.

Hua Xiyan walked to the table, didn't rush to sit down, and asked respectfully, "Is the saint going to attend the eldest princess's lantern festival?" ”

"I'll pass by the Eldest Princess's Mansion and give you a ride." But those who answered her did not dare to look at her squarely.

Hua Xiyan failed to understand the meaning of his words at first. When the carriage was about to arrive at the eldest princess's mansion, I saw two men in the carriage taking out human skin masks in front of her to cover their faces.

At that moment, her scalp was a little numb. Sure enough, I only heard someone disguised as a domestic servant, coughed twice, and pretended to say to her: "I want to go out to the eldest princess's mansion in micro-clothes, and Yan Shangshu will cover me." Remember, this is official business, and Yan Shangshu must not reveal my true identity. ”

Hua Xiyan was very sore for a moment. I don't understand how I could be involved with such a rogue emperor.

The carriage arrived at the Eldest Princess's Mansion. The people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion have long been at the door to greet guests from all walks of life. Since she Yan Shangshu is not a special guest, it should be said that the eldest princess was reluctant to invite her to come, with the intention of letting Li Zimo come, but as a result, when she saw that she was the only one who came, and Li Zimo did not appear at all, the people who received her naturally cooled their enthusiasm. Fortunately, the county lord of Ji Yao had already sent his maid Sanqi to wait for her at the door.

When the other servants went to flatter the other guests, Sanqi acted well, ran to Hua Xiyan, blessed himself and said: "Yan Shangshu, the slave maid was sent by the county lord, called Sanqi, and the county lord asked the slave and maid to take Yan Shangshu to the county lord's boudoir to talk." ”

It just so happened that she didn't come to participate in the Lantern Festival, so she followed Sanqi and hid in the county lord's room.

The front foot was just about to follow Sanqi to lift, when a secret voice suddenly came to her ears from behind her: "Wait, I want to see who else is coming to participate in the Lantern Festival." ”

The emperor is a nuisance, a burden. Hua Xiyan finally deeply realized the difficulty of being a courtier.

Showing off his teeth slightly, he teased the emperor and said: "The saint has been perfectly disguised, and he will not be recognized wherever he goes." The folk woman went to the room of the lower county lord, and where the saint slipped away, she was discovered, and as long as she claimed that she wanted to find food or a small maid who was looking for a latrine, she could get away with it. ”

Hearing her words, someone naturally gritted his teeth and muffled: "Do you think I'm your son?!" I just know how to eat and find a toilet?! ”

The closest to the two of them was also the palace minister who had been disguised, and coughed lightly several times, as if choked on his own rolling saliva.

Hua Xiyan rolled her eyes, look, it's good, I've been laughed at.

Sanqi didn't know what was going on, and when she looked back, she saw that there were only two male servants behind her, and there were no maids, and she felt strange.

At the same time, a certain emperor spared no effort to coerce and lure her behind her back: "Yan Shangshu, don't forget, how many rare fruits your son has eaten in my palace. ”

Because of his words, he thought that when he got up this morning, his son secretly stuffed several fruits into her clothes last night that she had never seen, and Hua Xiyan had to sigh in her heart: "The people's woman is the order." He turned his head and Sanqi said: "Please tell the county lord that the women should go shopping in the lantern festival and greet the eldest princess and the concubine before they can go over to find the county lord." ”

Sanqi heard that she was right, and nodded: "The slave will reply to the county lord." If Yan Shangshu wanted to see the county lord, the county lord's boudoir was in Qin Yuxuan, and the slave maid would be waiting in front of Qin Yuxuan's door. ”

After speaking, Sanqi left first.

Hua Xiyan took the disguised servants and Aunt Liu and walked into the eldest princess's mansion.

The princess's mansion is the first emperor of the first emperor, built for the most favored daughter, and was given to the eldest princess and the concubine after completion, and has been lived here by the eldest princess's family of three. Because of the holy grace, the whole princess's mansion is built magnificently, and the stones used are all good, among which the mountains and stones are embellished, the corridors are linked, and the winding corridors lead to the largest garden in the palace.

For this lantern festival, the eldest princess and the concubine did spend a lot of thought, which can be seen from the various lamps and lanterns hanging in the corridors along the road. Like a lantern dotted with stars in the sky, hanging all over the garden, the beautiful scenery in front of the guests at this moment made the guests deeply sigh at the glory and wealth of the eldest princess's mansion.

The eldest princess and the princess sat in the princess's mansion in full costume to welcome guests from all walks of life. Based on the status and status of the eldest princess in China, which is only one level lower than that of the saint and the queen mother, none of the guests who arrived had to salute the eldest princess.

Hua Xiyan walked in front of the master, thinking that this person was the mother of the innocent and lovely county lord, so she deliberately looked at it twice.

The eldest princess should be about forty years old, and the charm of a beautiful woman still exists, like the lord of Ji Yao, she has a tall and beautiful nose, a pair of eyes like autumn water, full of affection, full lips like a smile, and seems to be a very kind and kind person.

The eldest princess's concubine is also dressed in gorgeous clothes, and his age seems to be slightly younger than that of the eldest princess, with a fair appearance, no beard, plump and handsome, and an excellent figure.

It's a talented and beautiful woman.

Ji Yaojun has such a pair of excellent parents, and the pressure must be not small. Hua Xiyan thought of the bitter water that the little county lord vomited with her before, and a lot of it was about her parents.

"Princess, this is Yan Shangshu."

After listening to the introductions of others, the eldest princess and the concubine, as well as the surrounding guests who heard the voice, all moved their eyes and fell on Hua Xiyan's ugly face.

Oops! The few exclamations of the noble lady were exactly the same as the surprised sounds made by Li Jiyao when she saw her for the first time.

The eldest princess and the concubine both had a flash of surprise in their eyes.

"The women of the people see the eldest princess and the concubine."

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment before she found her voice: "Please, please get up." ”

After greeting the master, Hua Xiyan completed the task and immediately hid to the side. Aunt Liu followed her all the time. Asked Aunt Liu, "What about the two of them?" ”

Aunt Liu gestured with her eyes.

I saw two disguised servants far away from the eldest princess, who must have been afraid of being discovered by acquaintances.

Hua Xiyan wondered. If you want to spy on the military intelligence in the Lantern Festival, just find a master to lie on the eaves and take a look. She didn't believe that a man who was the emperor couldn't send such a master. Feelings, these two people are bored in the palace and come here to play games.

The number of guests increased one after another, and night completely fell, enveloping the eldest princess's mansion, and the identity of the guests who arrived became more and more noble.

"Major General Sun Xuanxi and Miss Sun Er have arrived!"

It is the eldest young master and second lady of General Sun's mansion. Many people's eyes were immediately sucked away.

Hua Xiyan hid behind a row of guests, imitated her son, first took a fruit and rubbed it on her clothes, took a bite to satisfy her hunger, and saw that the host did not invite the guests to the table, and she didn't know how hungry she would be.

Two rows of guests are sandwiched, and Sun Ruyu, who is dressed in full costume, wears gold and silver, and is not inferior to the eldest princess, and of course not inferior to the royal family. In contrast, Sun Xuanxi seems to be more low-key, wearing a dark blue satin robe, with a jade belt inlaid with gems around his waist, with a long jade and heroic posture.

Because she had taken a face photo with Young Master Sun, Hua Xiyan stepped on her toes and wanted to be clearer this time. She only remembered this person's eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable in her heart.

Behind, someone who slipped back at some point swept past her and read: "I, I never knew that Yan Shangshu was interested in General Sun. ”

Is this man blind? Who does she like people? Hua Xiyan wanted to hold her forehead and sigh, her mind turned, and she coughed lightly and said: "General Sun is young and heroic, and he is proud to defend his family and the country, so he is naturally the object of admiration of women. ”

It just happened to be this arrogant emperor who was only arrogant.

These words really made someone grit his teeth: "I led the army to fight in person and attacked hundreds of thousands of enemies, but his Sun Major General was only one soldier under me!" ”

"People are charging at the front, and some people are only responsible for waving their hands at the back. Who is more heroic is not clear at first sight? ”

"If Wuzhen sat in the military camp to transfer troops and send generals, his grandson would have been pierced by thousands of arrows long ago. On the battlefield, killing the enemy is a matter of strategy, and it is not possible for a martial artist to win the results. ”

Seeing that he was really energetic to compare with Sun Xuanxi, presumably the palace master who was listening was about to choke on the water in his throat again, Hua Xiyan held back the smile on the corner of his mouth, and coughed lightly: "Shengshang, you are Shengshang, he is just a young general in the General's Mansion, no matter how you compare, you can't compare to Shengshang." ”

There was a slight stunned in his ink eyes, Fang is knowing that he had fallen into her trap and lost his temper, he couldn't hold his face, and brushed his sleeves: "Of course, how can he compare with the Ninety-Five, if he dares to compare with me, I will immediately kill his head." ”

Hua Xiyan didn't dare to laugh when she faced him. It is true that long ago, I had heard that this general's mansion had military power and her status was not low, and if she was the emperor, she would definitely have to be more than three points prepared for such a situation. Therefore, he really came to the Lantern Society to spy on the military.

The lantern festival held by the eldest princess this time, all the celebrities were invited, and these celebrities were basically invited to come, and they all sold the face of the eldest princess. It can only be said that the eldest princess is very popular, or that everyone came here while the Lantern Festival had some purpose. They all came to enjoy the lanterns, and they didn't believe it.

Guests gathered in twos and threes in the courtyard. Hua Xiyan found someone she was familiar with in the crowd and saw Lin Murong, and the woman who was with Lin Murong should be Mrs. Lin. Listening to the greetings among the guests, she was able to understand that there were not only ministers of various ministries, but also relatives of the emperor and the country. I only heard Gong Xiangru suddenly reminded me vigilantly in the gap: Shengshang, it is Dawan people.

Dressed in exotic costumes, it is not uncommon for non-Tanglin people to come to participate in the lantern festival. Just because Tanglin itself is an open country, trade extends in all directions, the eldest princess has her own rich village and shop to make a living, and has made friends with celebrities and businessmen, and it is not too much to invite some business friends to attend her private banquet. Here, you can indeed see a lot of people in fancy clothes. It's just that it seems that Dawan has attracted the attention of her two servants behind her.

When Hua Xiyan asked, she suddenly remembered that day in the teahouse to listen to the commentary, talking about the year when the palace queen died, it happened that the emperor personally conquered and repelled the invading Dawan army, and from then on, the emperor of Tanglin once again shocked the Quartet.

The Dawan people were defeated by the army led by Li Zimo. After that, a defeat agreement was signed to surrender and pay tribute to Tanglin. It's been a few years, and the borders are safe. The Dawan people started trading with the Tanglin people again.

The eyes of the Dawan people, it is said that the purest Dawan people, are like emeralds, all green, and surprisingly clean. Inadvertently swept in the direction the two of them said, and it happened to meet such a pair of eyes, as smart and beautiful as cats. With such a pair of noble green eyes, the beauty of the handsome face, just like a masterpiece in the history of Western carving, look carefully, the other party's age, may only be fifteen or sixteen, is a young beautiful boy.

The moment the four eyes met, the beautiful young man curled the corners of his lips at her, revealing a smile as unfathomable as a cat.

Hua Xiyan twisted her eyebrows slightly, only to feel that the other party seemed to be waiting for her to look over. But only for a moment, those beautiful green eyes disappeared into the crowd, as if all she had just seen was a dream.

The two servants behind him fell into a quiet silence, cautious and cautious, seeing that there was another big man visiting.

"King Bai Changguo Xian has arrived!"

The virtuous king has a jade crown, well-dressed, elegant and charming, and walks into the welcome channel.

Someone behind her looked at it and sighed: "It's just a day's work, this person is like a dead fish turning over, jumping around, as if my hands are lighter." ”

I don't know if what he said is true or not, but it must be joyful to her ears, and she wishes that someone would work with her to deal with this scum ex-fiancΓ© who is dying.

The beauty who appeared in the finale after the most lull was dressed in a golden pink veil, ethereal like a fairy, just like the surprise brought to everyone in Bai Changguo at that time.

"Su Qing Niangniang." The appearance of this person made the eldest princess and the concubine who were the masters very excited, and they all stepped forward to greet the guests.

Every time Hua Xiyan saw this lady who was called the most benevolent lady in the world, goosebumps would break out all over her body: It's fake.

People who really do good deeds are unknown, and they will show off everywhere.

Knowing this, like everyone, they were very respectful of the benevolent name of this mother, without the slightest doubt. The mystery here is quite deep. Suddenly, thinking that this dog emperor would not let Bai Changguo break away from Tanglin, saying that the hypocrisy of the Donglin royal family could not win the trust of the people. The mystery here is quite deep.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two people behind him, and saw the two of them bowing their heads and ears, as if they didn't notice the second most beautiful woman in the world walking in the middle of the road. Here, when every man at the scene stretched his neck like a star chaser and looked at Jin Suqing, these two people actually pretended to be monks.

"Something?" Noticing her gaze, the disfigured Long Yan swept over and asked.

Hua Xiyan lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to point at the beauty's finger, only to get him a very faint sentence: "It's boring." ”

Boredom is slightly better than disgust, and it is simply ignored.

Hua Xiyan looked at it differently: This man's scheming is as deep as the deepest ravine in the sea.

In the courtyard, the eldest princess joined hands with Jin Suqing and walked up the steps, and the guests below saluted: "Niangniang Jin'an." The eldest princess and the concubine are blessed without borders. ”

Jin Suqing's position was arranged on the left side of the eldest princess and was the most distinguished guest. The rest of the guests were seated.

Hua Xiyan saw that it was almost over, and she should borrow urine and run away to meet the county lord of Ji Yao. The Dog Emperor grabbed her cuffs and didn't let go: "Wait for me, see what King Xian wants to say." ”

The lady who happened to be sitting on the throne asked, "Didn't the saint come?" ”

The eldest princess hugged her, feeling helpless and stomping her feet for her nephew who was unwilling to sell her face: "The saint is entangled in official duties. ”

In this regard, Sun Ruyu was also in an extremely bad mood. Empress Dowager Hu promised her that the palace would come. But when I came, I realized that no one in the palace was present at all.

Presumably, there are more than one or two people in the audience who are disappointed by this.

In order to arouse everyone's interest, the eldest princess said: "Although the saint did not come, the celebrity in front of the saint, Yan Shangshu, came." ”

Well, when everyone looked over, Hua Xiyan could feel that the two figures behind her seemed to dodge, leaving her alone to become the spotlight. I had to flick my sleeves, hide the half-eaten fruit in my cuffs, and get up and go back to the eldest princess: "Princess Jin'an." ”

Jin Suqing's eyes fell on her face, and if she smiled lightly, she said jokingly with the eldest princess: "This palace just happened to meet this Yan Shangshu in Baichang. ”

Everyone heard the rumor that she was from Bai Chang and wanted to find out if the rumor was true. The eldest princess was no exception, and asked: "Niangniang and Yan Shangshu have met?" ”

"The specific princess can ask King Xian. For Yan Shangshu, King Xian should be the person who knows best. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on King Xian.

Hua Xiyan is not afraid that King Xian will say about abandoning his wife in public, he has the ability, and he shakes out the abandonment of Shu'er.

King Xian got up, his eyes seemed to glance over her, turned around, and replied to the eldest princess: "This king has a great relationship with Yan Shangshu, but in fact, this king came to Tanglin this time to take the future crown princess of this king to return to the country to complete the wedding. ”

"The crown princess?"

It seems that the matter of King Xian establishing Hua Shu'er as the future crown princess has spread a lot in Baichang Kingdom, but no one knows about it in Tanglin Kingdom.

"It's Yan Shangshu."

Hua Xiyan, who wanted to urinate again, had to turn her head back.

Is she deaf?

A few years ago, she had already declared that she did not want her ex-fiancΓ©, and suddenly said that she would take her back to marry her as the crown princess.

"Holy!" Miya-like nervously pressed one of someone's held hands.

Long Yan gritted his teeth, wanting to crush his teeth: "Okay, I had a good heart yesterday, if you want him to give me a result, he will give me a slap." ”

People who don't know what is going on may sound strange, isn't it accusing King Xian of abandoning his wife and children? Now the virtuous king knows that he has repented and taken Hua Xiyan back, which should be called to change the evil and return to the right. How can someone hurt so much that they want to jump on their feet.

Everyone didn't care what the reason was, and looked at how Hua Xiyan answered.

It's a lot of fun.

The eldest princess smiled: "Yan Shangshu, is what King Xian said true?" In this way, Yan Shangshu is going to go back to Baichangguo with King Xian. If it is true, the father-in-law will prepare a wedding gift for the two of them. ”

With the eldest princess's statement, the rest of the people said that they would prepare generous gifts.

Hua Xiyan stood up, stroked her sleeves, and thought that she was fortunate that she had been prepared, so she took out the debt slip written by King Xian from her arms, and said to the eldest princess: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the women and King Xian have nothing to do with each other. A few years ago, King Xian wrote a letter of resignation to the women, but a few months ago, the women discussed compensation with King Xian because of this matter. King Hyun promised to compensate the women for their losses, and gave them one-third of the property as a break-up fee with the women. ”

IOUs, snaps, and exhibitions fall in front of everyone. I saw that there was King Xian's handwriting and payment on it, and there was nothing wrong with it.

This is called killing two birds with one stone, and I am not afraid that his virtuous king will dare to rely on her account.

In the midst of everyone's exclamations, King Xian jumped up violently, looking at her eyes, Hua Xiyan could imagine that he wanted to choke her neck now, and then exclaimed: Damn, how could this king commit such negligence!

However, this seems to underestimate this virtuous king. After a while, King Xian immediately readjusted his face and said: "This IOU is the debt owed by this king when he bought medicine for the Queen Mother's mother at the auction, and somehow it will fall into the hands of Yan Shangshu." ”

Everyone, how to explain Hua Xiyan.

Hua Xiyan cleared her throat and shook her head: "May I ask what kind of medicine did King Xian take for the Queen Mother?" ”

"It is one of the rarest medicinal materials in the world, the Heavenly Demon Earth Vein Divine Pill."

As soon as he said this, Hua Xiyan couldn't help but want to laugh. Originally, she didn't quite understand why so many people in the auction room teased King Xian that day, and they insisted on involving King Xian and the two beauties. Later, after learning from the owner of the medicinal herb shop, I realized that this is what the road is.

"Your Highness, don't blame Xiyan for reminding you that although this medicine is a woman's medicine, it cannot be used by elderly patients, and it is a forbidden medicine for the elderly. Could it be that no one from the Bai Changguo Imperial Medical Office informed His Highness? Did the Queen Mother use it? ”

It was also unexpected that King Xian was suddenly teased that day, and he took the Queen Mother as a shield at will, and after the success of the transaction, he did not investigate it in detail, where did he know that he stepped on the trap he dug.

Now, no one believes that King Xian's IOU is an excuse to buy medicine.

There was a burst of shushing all around.

King Xian's clenched fists were beating violently, what do you want him to say, in front of the world, saying that he regretted that he divorced her in the first place?!

What's even more terrifying is not this, everyone in the field is guessing from this, if King Xian's words are true, then King Xian bought medicine to flatter which woman? Didn't you claim to have a fiancΓ©e?

Jin Suqing raised her sleeves to cover half of her face and drank tea: If it was known that King Dao Xian sent the Heavenly Demon Earth Vein Divine Pill to her, it would be no wonder that she shook Princess Qiongyue out.

Therefore, King Xian must not dare to admit the matter of buying medicine anymore, and saw that Jin Suqing was nearby.

Seeing that the time had come, Hua Xiyan bowed to the eldest princess: "Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess and all the adults present to make decisions for the people's women, King Xian owes the women this arrears for some time, but King Xian has not fulfilled his promise." ”

The eldest princess hehe, hehehe, laughed. The rest of the people had no choice but to laugh and laugh.

Someone's fist was completely loosened by the palace, and the corners of his thin lips hooked a deep smile: "It's me who underestimated her." ”

Gong Xiangru looked at the leisurely figure holding the IOU, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

All of them, hindering the face of King Xian, did not dare to pick up Hua Xiyan's words at will. Seeing the opportunity, Master Ma was about to change the topic, when suddenly, a voice fell from the sky: "Hey, no one dares to testify for the eldest lady of the Hua family?" How about the owner of this pavilion to be a guarantor for the eldest lady of the Hua family? ”
