Xia Xiruo and Yun Gu walked into Prince Yu's mansion, and all of them, who came to perform for the princess's birthday, were placed in the backyard, waiting for the princess to arrive.

It stands to reason that people have already been searched, and the order of the program has been arranged, but because of a fake Yuwen brand, Xia Xiruo was able to be placed in the front position.

These people are also Jianghu people, the rivers and lakes are very miscellaneous, literally all over the world, literally all kinds of people, the common people think that the people who practice martial arts are the people of the rivers and lakes, in fact, the rivers and lakes are so small, and a larger part of the people who make up the rivers and lakes will not know martial arts.

Those who do tricks, sing songs, beat drums and tell stories, and play tricks and show off their performances, these are all people from the rivers and lakes.

Especially in this industry, most of the time the money they make comes from performances, and most of the income from performances comes from these big families.

So they have the strongest ability to observe words and feelings, originally there was no such little girl holding the pipa during the rehearsal, but now there is suddenly, and it is arranged in a relatively high position, which means one thing...... This little girl is not easy to mess with.

Those who fight because their positions are robbed, come forward to humiliate each other, and say why are you higher than me, most of these scenes are imaginary.

In such an era, such a place, and such a situation, everyone knows very well that the steward of the palace arranges people to play at the best time because they are heavier.

These entertainers who live by observing words and feelings, they will stupidly point at the little girl's nose and say, where did you come from, how dare you steal my place?

There may be such a fool, but it is impossible for such a fool to be summoned into the palace to perform, even if he comes in, he will be suppressed by the people of the palace before he is allowed to theorize.

When the palace is empty? Showing for ghosts?

There are hundreds of families and guards in the palace, and these entertainers are all surrounded by people from the palace, and they are still the objects of key supervision, because they are afraid that their hands and feet will not be clean.

That's the bottom layer.

So when Xia Xiruo was arranged to perform at the best time, everyone could only express their dissatisfaction with their eyes, and they could only do it secretly, not daring to be seen by the palace steward.

What is the best time to go? Not the first few, and certainly not the last.

The first few performances were warm-ups, and the princess was not necessarily present at that time, but it was for the guests to watch and relieve boredom, and the first show to be seen by the princess was the best time period.

The princess looked good, and rewarded it, and the people below were all going to follow the reward, and there was a lot of silver.

"Aunt Yun, you can go back."

Xia Xiruo lowered her voice and said.

"Young Master ......"

"Aunt Yun, let's go."

Xia Xiruo's eyes were a little bloodshot, she looked at Yun Gu and shook her head and said, "Yun Gu, you promised me that you must go to see my mother for me today, today is very important." ”

Yun Gu gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay." ”

Then she retreated to the last side while there was a lot of confusion, and left under the pretext of going to the latrine.

The little girl looked at the bustle outside, looked back at the beings behind her, and thought that this was the world, the last world she saw.

When she came, she didn't expect to get out alive, this is Prince Yu's mansion, guarded like a cloud, and heavily guarded.

"Little girl."

An old woman in front of her glanced back at her, smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, those nobles don't actually look at us a few times, they have something important to say underneath, take this opportunity to win each other over, it's more important than watching us play, if you're really nervous, take a deep breath and come a few more times." ”

Xia Xiruo looked at the old woman with gratitude: "Thank you." ”

The old woman said: "Don't be so polite, those of us who rely on our ability to eat should actually be regarded as a family, and this world is almost no longer able to accommodate us people." ”

She didn't seem to want to say much about it

Some frustrated words, so he asked, "Little girl, where are you from?" ”

Xia Xiruo shook her head, and the old woman didn't blame her, she still smiled.

"Look at you are different from us, you are not like a family from a poor background, maybe your family is in trouble and you have to support yourself."

The old woman sighed, looked at Xia Xiruo and shook her head slightly, and said, "If it is not a last resort, whose father and mother can be willing to show up like you." ”

Xia Xiruo didn't know what to say.

The old woman saw that she didn't want to speak, so she turned around and looked ahead, she was performing before Xia Xiruo, Xia Xiruo noticed that she was carrying an erhu, and in front of her was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, and looked back at Xia Xiruo from time to time, the young man's complexion was a little dark, but he looked very sunny.

There are many interesting things in this world, such as people who don't see the sun are very white, and people who often see the sun are very dark.

"My mother is right, you don't have to be afraid."

The young man smiled, showing his particularly good-looking teeth.

He said, "You're behind us, it's good." ”

The old woman patted him on the shoulder, and the young man smiled and glanced at Xia Xiruo again.

He probably thinks that although Xia Xiruo wears a veil to cover her mouth and nose, she must be very beautiful and beautiful, and a young man of this age will always have some illusions about beauty.

But his eyes were clear, without the slightest trace of dirt.

"It's good."

He said it again.

"The prince has arrived, the princess has arrived!"

With a shout, all the guests present got up to greet him, and Prince Yu took the princess's hand and walked side by side, it seemed that these two people were so compatible.

The identity of the male host is so noble, and he is handsome and elegant, and the most important thing is that he is born with nobility.

The hostess was born in a famous family, although she is no longer young, but she is still beautiful, she walks beside the prince, and her temperament is so compatible with the prince.

The two of them kept holding hands and walked over, and the guests and friends in the dojo were full of envy, whether it was true or fake, this envious voice made Prince Yu and the princess very satisfied.

After taking his seat on the main seat, Prince Yu's hand pressed down, and he needed to say something at this time, and no matter what he said, it would inevitably be a round of applause.

The little girl Xia Xiruo's eyes have always been on the princess, and the big man who is admired by everyone sitting next to the princess is her father, but she can't mention a trace of family affection in her heart.

She just looked at the princess.

The princess who sent someone to try to kill her when she was born, the princess who sent someone to poison her rice porridge when she was three years old, the princess who deliberately let the galloping horse crash into her when she was seven years old, the princess who sent a killer to stab her with a dagger when she was eleven years old.

And every time these things happened, there would be a person standing in front of her.

Xia Xiruo knew very well that the assassination that her brother faced and the dangers he faced were many, much more than her, but her brother didn't care about this, her brother only cared about whether she would be okay.

The brother faced 10,000 times, and she faced 100 times, then the brother faced 10,000 times.

In order not to let others know her identity, Master helped her change her name to Xia Xiruo, but her favorite surname will always be Xiahou, not Xia, and of course not Yang.

At the same time, Li Qi's small courtyard.

The godmother sat on the small bamboo bench in the yard, and seemed to have something on her mind, as soon as Li Qi entered the door, she saw her in a daze, and her expression was a little gloomy, so she smiled and walked over.

"Mother, what are you thinking?"

As soon as the godmother looked up, she laughed when she saw Li Qi: "Stinky boy, why did you come back early today?" ”

Li Qi said: "Most of the gentlemen in the academy have been invited to Prince Yu's mansion, because of the announcement, Prince Yu should think that everyone in the academy can take advantage of it, and it just so happens that he can continue to promote his reputation as a corporal of Lixian, so the gentlemen have gone to the palace, and I will come back early." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly froze, and immediately regretted it, what he said just now should be said in another way, he will always have negligence.

"It's fine."

The godmother glared at him and said, "If the family has to worry so much when they talk, then it's still a family?" How tired are you...... What did you bring back? ”

The godmother pointed to the bag he was carrying.

Li Qi smiled: "It's delicious." ”

The godmother asked: "What is delicious, bring it to the godmother to taste." ”

Li Qi smiled: "The ...... brought back to the dog and the Condor"

The godmother looked around: "Where's my broom!" ”

Li Qi smiled and walked behind her godmother, and said while gently tapping her shoulder: "Godmother, if you are uncomfortable and unaccustomed to living in the city, I will let you escort you to Yanshan, the scenery over there is good, the terrain is open, and the mood will be much better." ”

The godmother snorted: "You said lightly." ”

Li Qi said: "This is not a difficult thing to do, have you forgotten that I am the third leader of the largest hooligan criminal gang in Jizhou?" Although it is a nominal one. ”

The godmother laughed: "You said that you two brothers, one is a general of the imperial court, and the other is the leader of the rebels, don't you feel awkward yourself?" ”

Li Qi said: "Then I will work hard to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, so that Xiahou can do it." ”

The godmother's tears were about to flow out, she shook her head with a smile and said, "Xiahou, he doesn't want me to worry, I just pretend not to worry, he doesn't want me to know, I just pretend not to know...... But, he can't eat well and dress warmly at the border......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, nine light and one heavy, which was a secret signal that only he knew.

Li Qi went over and opened the door, and a black shadow grabbed Li Qi by the collar of his clothes, and then threw Li Qi out with an over-the-shoulder fall.

Li Qi pushed on the man's back while flipping out, landed with the help of thrust, and then folded his hands and crossed his five fingers, the index fingers of the middle fingers of the two hands were forward, and the ring finger and little finger were contracted, and this move poked fiercely at the man's buttocks.

The man jumped forward in fright and glared back: "You want to stab me to death?" ”

Li Qi pouted: "Huh." ”

The man turned to look at Mrs. Xiahou, and then fell to his knees with a thud: "Mother, my son is back to celebrate your birthday." ”

Xiahou Zhuo knelt there and kowtowed a few times.

Today is the princess's birthday, coincidentally, it is also his mother's birthday.

"Mother, I wanted to come back last year, but I didn't catch up, I made up for it for your old man this year, and I knocked my head last year."

Xiahou Zhuo kowtowed as he spoke, and he kowtowed.

Mrs. Xiahou's eyes were a little wet in an instant, she got up and walked towards Xiahou Zhuo, opened her arms, Xiahou Zhuo got up, and also opened her arms.

Mrs. Xiahou kicked Xiahou on the buttocks: "Scare me, I won't let people say it in advance when I come back!" ”

Xiahou Zhuo smiled, looked back at Li Qi, and the meaning in his eyes was that this was daily, everyday.

Li Qi nodded and said...... I understand, I understand.

Li Qi went over and picked up the bag that had just been placed next to him, looked at Gao Xining, who was stunned, and smiled, "Do me a favor?" I bought vegetables, bought meat, and made longevity noodles for my mother. ”

How warm.

The old lady kicked Li Qi's buttocks: "What did you say just now?" Say it's pig-feeding?! ”

Li Qi: "Uh......"

Xiahou Zhuo immediately made up for it: "That's it, how can you say that!" ”

Gao Xining looked at this, looked at that, and always felt that he couldn't be left behind, so he also raised his foot and gestured on Li Qi's buttocks.

"That's it!"

Xiahou Zhuo was a little stunned when he saw Gao Xining here.

"What's the situation?"
