In the limelight, Lu Xiaozhao sat opposite the young man with a good peak, and Lu Xiaozhao said: "Brother Wen passed away two years ago, and now I am the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Building. It was not changed in my hands, it was changed when the master was alive. ”

Wen Xiaoming didn't care about the former Peach Blossom Building's name change, but was haunted by the death of the old shopkeeper Lu Jiao.

Lu Xiaozhao personally poured a full cup of Fengsan for Wen Xiaoming and continued: "This restaurant originally belonged to the Lu family's property, and now this restaurant belongs to the owner, I, ah, am just the shopkeeper of the restaurant, watching the restaurant for the owner." ”

Wen Xiaoming, who hadn't been to Taiping City for a long time, still didn't care, and he didn't really care who the restaurant was. After taking a drink, he said: "The old shopkeeper was in good health when I left, so if you don't say it, it's gone." Pouring a full glass of wine, he slowly got up, respectfully sprinkled the wine on the ground and said: "Senior Lu, I Wen Xiaoming came late, and I didn't see the last of my seniors, this glass of wine Xiaoming respects you." ”

As he was talking, a girl in red came slowly from the second floor, and Wen Xiaoming stared at the girl who came with a confused look. Lu Xiaozhao got up decisively and subconsciously pushed the wine glass forward, looking at Wen Xiaoming's gentle eyes, as if facing a great enemy.

The girl was red, and she didn't go downstairs quickly. I heard the noise downstairs before I opened the door, and after inquiring, I learned that the restaurant had arrived at a friend from the rivers and lakes of a small shopkeeper, who was already a grandmaster at a young age. The sword aura is sharp, and he can cut the sleeve of the little shopkeeper from a distance of ten zhang between his hands, and he heard the little shopkeeper say that his surname is Wen.

Wen Xiaoming saw that the red clothes had not changed from a few years ago, but looked at his down-and-out appearance. When I first saw him, he was a young man, holding a short sword and a majestic posture. Now he is dressed in tattered clothes and dirty. forcibly twisted out a smile and said, "I haven't seen you in red for a long time." ”

Hongyi approached and said: "Xiao Ming, why are you here, I don't know ....." still didn't say that the court was still wanted by you, and trespassing on the palace was not a small crime. Once discovered by the patrol battalion, it is not so easy to escape.

The three of them looked at each other for a while and didn't know what to say, and finally Hongyi said, "Is Lu Xiaozhao and Xiaoming here?" ”

said that it was too late to come quickly, Lu Xiaozhao hurriedly staggered his position and shouted: "Arrange a table in the private room upstairs, my brother has arrived today, and he will prepare good wine and food." Lu Xiaozhao smirked at the red cloth. It can be seen that this open-mouthed young man is afraid that Hongyi has already understood.

Hongyi pulled Wen Xiaoming up without hesitation and said, "Xiao Ming, this is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs to talk." ”

Hongyi pulled Wen Xiaoming to walk in front, and Lu Xiaozhao followed behind him very slowly. When the evil star was dragged up to the second floor by the red clothes, the drinker smiled and said: "The little shopkeeper is not good, I see that person is not more handsome than you, but his swordsmanship is higher." It's not that I'm afraid, my daughter-in-law has been snatched away. ”

Lu Xiaozhao kept waving his hands and said: "What's the matter, we are good brothers, impossible, impossible." ”

Pushing open the door, the red-clothed man sat down and said, "Why are you here, the imperial court's wanted notice for you has not been canceled." ”

The baby ate and drank again

Wen Xiaoming, who had a warm body of some spirits, said: "I have traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I happened to pass by Taiping City to have a look. I heard that my sister has left the palace and is in the Ziyun Temple on Hongshan Mountain, not far from Taiping City. Why didn't you follow your sister and run here. ”

Listening to Wen Xiaoming's words, he didn't seem to know that Yulian was no longer in the Guanyin Temple of Ziyun Temple, and the red clothes sat down with a sad face. Suddenly her eyes were red and she said: "My sister is no longer in the Guanyin Temple, she was recruited into the palace by the new emperor three months ago, and now she is a jade concubine." At the beginning, I begged behind me, but my sister just didn't want me to follow me. ”

Although she didn't say a few words when she broke into the palace and saw Yulian, she could see that her sister Yulian was not happy in the palace. Now that she has entered the palace again, how can her sister be satisfied. Seeing that the appearance of the red clothes is not pretending, this time my sister does not seem to be willing to enter the palace, and she is still forced.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xiaozhao opened the door and came in, and when he saw that the red clothes were wronged, his mood suddenly became unpleasant. But he didn't expect Wen Xiaoming to appear next to Lu Xiaozhao in an instant, and the door closed with a bang, and Lu Xiaozhao was put down with one hand. Originally, when he entered the door and saw the grievances of the red clothes, he didn't have time to teach Wen Xiaoming a lesson, but he was robbed by Wen Xiaoming.

Wen Xiaoming pressed Lu Xiaozhao to the ground and said, "Lu Xiaozhao, this is how you protect your sister, my sister has only been out of the palace for a few years, and she was robbed into the palace by the emperor." What's the use of asking you. ”

Lu Xiaozhao, who was suppressed by the sword qi and couldn't speak, could only endure it, which was very different from Wen Xiaoming two years ago. Today's Wen Xiaoming is no longer a newcomer to the Grandmaster Mirror, and his sword aura is not inferior to his master Lu Jiao, I am afraid that even if he is a senior brother Lu Lin now, he may not dare to say that he can fight a tie with Wen Xiaoming.

The sword aura shrouded the ground, and the red clothes saw the two of them fighting. Before he was about to get closer, Wen Xiaoming immediately said: "Don't get close to the red clothes, be careful of hurting you." ”

Hongyi, who was already sad, shouted: "Sister Xiao Ming's entry into the palace has nothing to do with Xiao Zhao, the authority of the whole world is in the hands of the emperor, Xiao Zhao can do everything he can do." My sister doesn't blame Xiaozhao for entering the palace, she blames me. Still approaching with the sword qi, Wen Xiaoming didn't want to hurt the red clothes so he gathered the sword qi and pulled Lu Xiaozhao up from the ground.

Hongyi said: "Listen to me tell you slowly, my sister's entry into the palace has a great deal. ”

After playing a song "Spring Breeze One Degree" in the palace, it was noon, and the Queen Mother first got up and entered the Zhengyang Palace. The prepared food is not luxurious, but there are also three exquisite delicacies. The Queen Mother took a seat, with two seats on each side. As early as a few months ago, there was only one seat on the side of the Queen Mother, but now there is one more.

The queen sits on the left side, and Yulian sits on the right side of the queen mother according to the rules in the palace. Concubine Yi lived under the queen, but the concubine was filmed at the back. Near Yulian was an older concubine, Concubine Jing, who was once Xiao Yin's side concubine when he was still the prince. has not given birth to a son for many years, and after entering the palace, he can only get a second-grade concubine, but the first-grade concubine has always been empty.

When everyone was seated, the Queen Mother said, "After sitting outside all morning, let's eat cold." ”

Yulian saw that her food was different from others, it was all three things, but it was not so exquisite. Three

The vegetables are green, the meat is pink, and the ingredients are extremely fresh. Although it is not as exquisite as the food of the Queen Mother and the concubines, it is not much worse.

No one to talk to at dinner, no one to talk to. Yulian tastes some peach blossom stuffed to warm the stomach. If the spirits are not suitable, the peach blossom brewing temperature can also be drunk less. On the other hand, the other concubines were full of praise for the peach blossom brewing, but only the queen concubine did not comment.

After lunch, the wind and sun outside the palace were beautiful, and I should have gone out to enjoy the snow. The queen mother said that she wanted to take a nap and let the concubines return to the palace. In fact, Yulian knew in her heart that she didn't really want to take a nap, but she was reluctant to give up on herself, or the dragon in her womb to suffer from the cold.

Leaving the Jiaofang Palace, Concubine Jing accompanied her. The Qingyue Palace where he lives is exactly the same as the direction of Qinglin Palace. The two did not take a ride but walked together, and Concubine Jing, who had barely spoken in the morning, spoke: "My sister is really a blessing. ”

looked at Concubine Jing, who was nearly thirty years old, in surprise and said, "Sister is also a good blessing." ”

Concubine Jing didn't say much but smiled lightly, and was speechless all the way. Not long after leaving Zhengyang Palace, Concubine Yi chased after her on foot. Concubine Yi took a few steps and walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Yulian and said: "This palace just thought about it, there are still a few sounds in "Spring Breeze Once" that I don't know much about, and I just happened to have nothing to do, and it was still early to go to my sister to ask for advice. Sister, don't be annoyed with your sister. ”

After entering the palace, no one has been able to say a few words, Yulian misses the red clothes a little, as long as there is that girl, there will never be a lack of words around her. Just like a chirping parrot, it often feels annoyed by the noise, but when it is quiet, it still misses the red clothes that are like a river, and can nag in the ear for a long time.

"Of course I won't dislike it, there are very few people in Qinglin Palace. My sister is going, and my sister is naturally welcome. ”

Concubine Yi took Yulian's arm and said, "Then my sister is going to listen to my sister play music and drink my sister's wine!" ”

When Qinglin Palace was about to be separated from Concubine Jing, Yulian said, "Sister Concubine Jing will not sit in Qinglin Palace and rest for a while. ”

Concubine Jing said expressionlessly: "There are still some things in Qingyue Palace, so I won't disturb the two sisters' Yaxing." So saying, he walked away, not even looking back.

When Concubine Jing walked away, Yulian asked curiously, "Is Sister Concubine Jing always alone?" ”

Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Jing who was far away with disdain before she spoke: "She is a withdrawn person, if it weren't for the side concubine when Your Majesty was still the prince, I'm afraid she could only get the status of a concubine." After entering the palace, His Majesty did not go to Qingyue Palace once, and it is said that Concubine Jing's sister could not have children. ”

After the separation, Concubine Jing said with great disdain: "Isn't it just that you are pregnant with a dragon son, what is there to be proud of." The palace maid beside her responded with a harmonious voice. Concubine Jing's footsteps changed from slow to extremely fast, and from time to time she had to dislike the maid who had been with her for many years for not understanding the rules, and she didn't know how to fight for her master, at least she could recruit Her Majesty to Qingyue Palace.

After a heavy snowfall in Taiping City in the middle of the night, the imperial court curfew again. The only sound of the wind can be heard in the streets, and flakes of snow are blowing in the wind. A woman with long hair in a shawl appeared outside the Lu Guogong Mansion against the cold wind, lingering. Look at it from time to time

With the four big characters of the Lu Guogong Mansion on it, it has been three years since the last time I came to this mansion, and I have never felt like I have to come again.

It's not a girl dressed in colorful clothes, with a light makeup, still coming to this Taiping City alone without acquaintances. The girl entered Taiping City before dark and walked all over the places she had walked. I really don't know where to go, but I still come to this mansion.

The cold after the snow was a little heavier, and the girl did not think about finding an inn to stay in first. But when I lived in the inn, there were no acquaintances in Taiping City, so even if I spent money, how could I find the husband who secretly ran out of his house in Shandong. There was no news for half a year, until half a month ago, someone saw Wen Xiaoming walking in the direction of Taiping City. The girl had secretly left her home, and she had not brought much money with her, and now she really did not know where to go.

Mustering up the courage to bang on the door, it was a long time before the young porter opened the side door. Looking at the girl who was both familiar and unrecalled, she asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?" ”

The girl said hoarsely: "Hello, I am Ren Yan of the Ren family in Shandong, and I came here three years ago." Is Liu Gongzi Liu Zhixing at home? By the way, I also know Sister Wu Jin, as well as the eldest son Liu Zhiming, and the little lady Liu Xiaoxiao. ”

Holding the names of several masters in one breath, although the porter didn't want to pay attention to the girl, he said, "Wait a minute, the little one will ask the young lady." ”
