The banquet has been eaten, at this time, music is playing in the house, the sound of the squirrel, the flute is sharp and piercing, the sound of the drum is deafening, and the huqin and pipa are swallowing. Somehow, Xiao Hengde suddenly felt that the music was very weird, and he listened to it very uncomfortable, as if something was piercing his heart.

Xiao Hengde walked out of the camp, a cold wind blew in his face, he shivered, he couldn't help wrapping his clothes, and he woke up a lot.

The ice of the Duck River is flat and silent, but if you listen closely, you can clearly hear the bubbling water and the sound of fish playing in the water. Xiao Hengde likes to listen to such sounds, as if there is a vigorous life scurrying under the water, ready to go.

Xiao Hengde was wandering on the ice, he was trying to think about why he came here? The sound of music in the house was still coming, yes, it was too harsh. However, he remembered the music played by the artists, which he had heard many times and was once intoxicated by. Today, what the hell is going on?

Every time something important happens, he will be so impetuous, he needs to be alone, he needs to be quiet, but today he is difficult to be calm, even if he walks on this silent duck river.

He had stopped and stared south for a long time, but all he could see was the endless dome, which met with the white clouds in the sky, and he couldn't tell which was the white cloud which was the dome.

"Xiao Hengde, why did you come here alone?"

Xiao Hengde turned around and saw that the princess of Yue Guo was staring at him, so he said, "Why are you here?" ”

Princess Yue Guo said: "I didn't see you in the mansion, so I knew that you must have come here." ”

Xiao Hengde smiled bitterly and said, "It's too noisy at home, why are you afraid of being noisy?" ”

The princess of Yue Guo said: "I like to be lively, but I don't worry about you." Is it angry with the Queen Mother? ”

Xiao Hengde said: "The Queen Mother has given me a great favor, how can I be angry with her?" ”

Princess Yue looked around and said, "It's very good here, it's very quiet. ”

Xiao Hengde sighed.

Princess Yue Guo asked, "Do you have a mind?" ”

Xiao Hengde shook his head.

Princess Yue looked at Xiao Hengde and said for a while, "Do you know how I found you yesterday?"

Xiao Hengde said: "How did you find it?" ”

The princess of Yue Guo said: "It's all your fault for flying so many birds yourself, and when I hear the birds' calls, I know you're there." ”

Xiao Hengde sighed.

The princess of Yue Guo said mischievously: "Anyway, I can find you wherever you go." ”

Xiao Hengde said: "What are you looking for me to do? ”

Princess Yueguo: "Because you are the person I am looking for." ”

Xiao Hengde was silent.

The two walked side by side on the river, the ice was slippery, and they both walked carefully. Suddenly, the princess of Yue Guo excitedly shouted, "Let's go ice skating." She ran to the middle of the river and slid briskly on the smooth ice, her movements graceful, like a swan dancing solo.

Xiao Hengde also likes ice skating, and has seen many people dance on the ice, thinking that it is a perfect combination of strength and softness. Today, the dance of the princess of Yue Guo gave Xiao Hengde a deeper understanding: he felt that the princess of Yue Guo was dancing with her soul, she was like a fire burning in the wilderness, she didn't seem to have a specific dance posture, each movement looked very casual, it seemed to be a sudden thought, however, the whole set of dances was so harmonious and smooth.

Xiao Hengde was fascinated, and finally couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward to hold the hand of the princess of Yueguo.

The sun sets quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the duck river a rouge color, and the cold wind is biting. The swan finally stopped spinning and dancing, and Princess Yue and Xiao Hengde paced for a while, saying, "Xiao Hengde, it's cold outside, let's go back." ”

Xiao Hengde didn't want to be alone with Princess Yueguo, but when he heard her say this, he agreed to go home.

When they entered the big tent, they saw that it was full of people. A Spanish man is performing a juggler. Dressed in a huge robe and dragged through two broom-like sleeves, he squirmed around the stage, babbling something that no one could understand. A table is set up in the middle of the table. The people of the West took off their robes and showed the people back and forth, that there was nothing in the robe, and then put the robe back on, walked around the platform with open arms, and then put their hands together and prayed to the air. When he had finished this action, he came to the table and unexpectedly took out plates of exquisite steaming dishes from his robes one after another, filling the table, and finally, holding the table in both hands, he slowly walked to Yelu Longxu and Xiao Xuan, and invited them to taste it.

Everyone was amazed, and couldn't figure out where that plate of food came from. What exactly are those things that look like dishes? Therefore, when Xiao Xuan picked up the knife and fork and was about to cut the meat to taste, Xiao Hengde hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and asked him to eat it first.

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Hengde and said, "Are you worried about the poison in the dish?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "The minister is willing to give it a try." ”

Xiao Xuan smiled: "How can I use you for poison testing?" ”

So he took a dog, cut off a piece of meat and threw it to him. The dog swallowed the meat, and did nothing, shook its head and tail, and looked at the meat on the table, not wanting to leave.

Xiao Sui pointed at the dog and smiled: "Are you relieved now?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "The safety of the emperor and the queen mother is the safety of the Great Khitan, and the minister is just doing his duty as a courtier." ”

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed and said: "What a good person to do the duty of a courtier, if the Great Khitan is like you, I don't have to worry." I will marry you today. Yue Guo, you come here, today I will marry the princess of Yue Guo to you, you have to treat her well. ”

Xiao Hengde didn't expect the Queen Mother to marry in front of everyone, he didn't dare to say anything, lowered his head, only felt that there was chaos in his mind, and finally couldn't even hear Xiao Xuan's question, just nodded like a puppet.

After the banquet, everyone in the mansion congratulated Xiao Hengde, so that he didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Pai said, "Brother, you finally figured it out. ”

Xiao Hengde said: "What have you figured out? ”

Xiao Pai said: "Marry the princess of Yueguo." ”

Xiao Hengde said: "When did I say that I was going to marry the princess of Yueguo?" ”

Xiao Pai was surprised: "You promised it in person just now, why did you forget it so quickly?" ”

Xiao Hengde's second monk was puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "I promised to marry the princess of Yueguo?" His gaze swept over everyone present in turn, and no one supported his idea. Finally, he fixed his gaze on the face of Princess Wu Guo.

Princess Wu said: "You personally promised the Queen Mother to marry the princess of Yueguo, and the wedding date has been set, just on the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Xiao Hengde suddenly shouted and said, "No, I didn't agree, I didn't say that I wanted to marry her, you are all lying to me, you are all lying to me." ”

Everyone was taken aback, everyone obviously saw that Xiao Hengde had agreed to the marriage with the princess of Yueguo, why did they say that they didn't agree now? Could it be that he has fallen into evil? This is no joke.

Xiao Hengde threw off everyone and ran out, Xiao Pai hurriedly chased after him, and asked, "Hengde, what are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "I want to go to the palace and tell the Queen Mother that I don't want to marry the princess of Yueguo." ”

Xiao Pai grabbed Xiao Hengde and said, "Nonsense, you just promised to do the family affair, how can you say that you regret it?" You don't want to live anymore. ”

Xiao Hengde said: "It's better to die than to marry her." ”

Xiao Pai said angrily: "You want to die, I can't stop it, but you can't let the whole family follow you to die." ”

Xiao Hengde said, "One person does things and one person is responsible, why are you implicated?" ”

Xiao Pai said: "You are guilty of defrauding the king, and the whole family will follow you to kill your head." ”

Xiao Hengde was stunned, his head was buzzing, he was dizzy, and he almost fell. Xiao Pai grabbed him and sent him back to his room and put him on the bed. Xiao Hengde softened into a ball of mud, and his eyes stared straight at a bright window on the roof of the dome.

Xiao Pai sighed, called the little servant, and told him to take care of Xiao Hengde and not let him go out.

In the middle of the night, Xiao Pai came to see Xiao Hengde again and saw that he was already asleep. He asked the little guy, what did Xiao Hengde do after he left?

The little guy said that Xiao Hengde had been sleeping and had not done anything.

Xiao Pai was surprised and asked, "Didn't he say anything?" ”

The little guy shook his head, still saying that he had done nothing and was asleep.

Xiao Pai is more worried, is Xiao Hengde's brain broken? Stupid? Otherwise, how can you not even know what you just said?

Xiao Paiji felt that he couldn't leave here, so he decided to stay until Xiao Hengde woke up.

He must not have forgotten the girl at the foot of Wutai Mountain. Xiao Pai looked at the sleeping Xiao Hengde and muttered: "Brother, you still forget her, for the sake of our family, forget her." ”

Xiao Pai folded the quilt for Xiao Hengde, and continued to talk to himself: "Maybe she is married, brother, you are so affectionate, but people may not be interested." After so many years, will people wait for you? ”

When Xiao Pai said this, his eyes kept looking at Xiao Hengde. Xiao Hengde's face is not delicate, his nose is slightly flat, and his mouth is a little big, but it is well-defined, his forehead is broad and bright, and he is a vigorous person from here. It's just that his brows are always slightly closer, looking a little melancholy and a little resolute.

Xiao Pai muttered, "Yes, you have always been like this, unwilling to change yourself. However, is your sister of the high squire as immutable as you? Girls, when they reach an age, even if they don't want to get married, their parents will force her to marry. ”

Xiao Pai paused for a while, then changed the topic and said: "Actually, there is no particularly big problem with the princess of Yueguo, but she is a little willful, how can she not be capricious as a princess - of course, except for your sister-in-law, brother, as the saying goes: 'Men and women are married. 'How many rude, wayward girls marry and become gentle and virtuous. Brother, I see that the princess of Yue Guo has changed a lot recently, and she is much gentler. The most important thing is that people love you, it's not easy, you are more blessed than me, the queen mother's favorite is the princess of Yueguo, if you marry her, the future must be limitless. ”

Xiao Pai chattered, and drowsiness came up, and finally, he fell asleep on Xiao Hengde's bed. When he woke up and saw that Xiao Hengde had already gotten up, Xiao Pai stood up and said, "Brother, are you up?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "Oh, I was drunk yesterday, brother, why are you sleeping here?" ”

Xiao Pai said: "I'm not worried that there will be no one to take care of you when you're drunk. ”

Xiao Hengde said: "I'm causing trouble for my brother." ”

Xiao Pai said: "What are you talking about, what is the family polite?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "Okay, don't say it, you better go back to rest, sister-in-law must be very anxious about you." ”

Xiao Pai escorted back, and when he arrived at the door, he turned back and said, "Brother, do you remember yesterday's incident?" ”

Xiao Hengde smiled: "Remember, the Queen Mother gave me a marriage." ”

Xiao Pai asked cautiously, "Will you marry the princess of Yueguo?" ”

Xiao Hengde said: "Who dares to disobey the will of the Queen Mother? ”

Xiao Pai let out a long sigh of relief and turned around.
