When the seventh prince went out, he met Meng Sicheng who went to Baihualou to investigate the case of the violent death of the second prince of Beiliang, and after greeting and understanding the direction of the case, Fang hurriedly rushed to Nanling Xiangxuehai, but the building was already empty.

On the way back, he saw that the night of Tianning Street was unprecedentedly lively, and asked Du Qingyi to know that it was the Wangguo Festival of Fusang, he got off the carriage and saw that the flowers and trees full of colorful lights illuminated the streets of Tianning, and the wind blew, and the swaying light trees were like stars. He approached the trees and reached out for some lamps.

"Childe, take a look, this is an everlasting lamp. If the son has a beloved, he can buy it and give it to his sweetheart. This lamp is always bright, implying that the husband and wife are in love and grow old together. ”

"Childe, when you get married, there will be two everlasting lamps in the room of your cave room, and you will buy them before the time of marriage, for fear that it will be unlucky and will backfire!"

Du Qingyi comforted. But he didn't listen. The seventh prince handed over the selected lamps to the stall owner, and Du Qingyi could only shake his head and pay the money.

The sound of Feng Xiao in her ears moved, the light of the jade pot turned, and when the Fangling woman walked by the side of the Seven Princes, she cast admiring eyes.

"Childe, get in the car!"

After Du Qingyi put all kinds of lamps on the carriage, he then helped the seventh prince into the carriage. The women under the car who coveted his beauty and looked crazy threw Qiuguo into the carriage of the Seventh Prince at this time.

"Childe! Don't go! ”

"Childe, you look so good, wait! Don't leave! ”

The carriage was smashed to the point of "collapsing", and in a short time, the fruit thrown in through the window was nearly half of the cart.

"Lord Wang, don't go out easily on the night of the Fruit Festival in the future, look at my head and face."

Du Qingyi was afraid that the fruit he threw would hit the Seventh Prince, so he protected him, but he was smashed by citrus and other fruits and his face was covered with slurry, which was very embarrassing.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help laughing. When he arrived at the East Palace, when Du Qingyi followed the Seventh Prince into the palace with an ever-bright lantern, the guards and maids on the side couldn't help but snicker when they saw his funny appearance.

"Lord Wang, Miss Anu is not in Mengxi Palace. It must have been out. ”

The seventh prince looked at the new moon at this time, and thought to himself that today was Hua Qing's birthday, and it was the Wangguo Festival, maybe someone took her out. So after asking Du Qingyi to hang the ever-bright lamp on the tree in front of Huaqing's window, he returned to King Jing's mansion.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he went to the East Palace early the next morning, he found that she had a fever.

He knew that the crown princess was jealous, but he never thought that in the East Palace, Hua Qing was so cold that she had a fever, and the crown princess ignored it. So, he had no choice but to take Hua Qing back to King Jing's Mansion. The imperial doctor was uploaded on the road and prescribed a prescription for conditioning.

"Lord Wang, I summoned you to the palace today."

The Seventh Prince glanced at Hua Qing, who was unconscious, and nodded slightly. Du Qingyi changed his clothes for him, and knowing that he was worried, he said:

"Miss Anu, I will order Mobao and Paper Yan to take care of it."

He went out with peace of mind.

Hua Qing lay groggily for a day, not knowing that it was night. It wasn't until Mobao fed her the medicine that she couldn't breathe through the night with a detox nose, and she finally woke her up with a tossing cough.

She felt tightness in her chest, so she planned to get up and sit down, but when she opened her eyes, she found that Xiao Zhan had sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her at some point.

She suspected that she was dazzled, rubbed her eyes, and then fixed her eyes to see that it was still him.

"Thirsty?"

He turned to fetch her water, helped her up, she took a few sips, and looked up at him, her eyes reflecting the autumn light.

"Your Highness? This is? How did you get in? ”

He took the teacup she had used up and put it down.

"I happened to pass by today, Uncle Seven Emperor has something to do today, and he has entered the palace."

Hua Qing let out an "oh", but her throat rolled with a burning pain.

She lifted the quilt and lowered her head to put on her shoes, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly.

"What are you going to do?"

"I've been lying down all day, I'm tired, and I want to go out for a walk."

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, she stood up, like a sick willow who couldn't help the wind, Xiao Zhan wanted to support her, but she was pushed away, she walked to the door with a slight tremble, only to find that it was late at night.

She thought it was dusk, but she didn't know that the dim light was caused by the wall lamp, and outside the house, it was already pitch black, there were seven or eight stars in the sky, and the whole sky looked like a fine black dress, decorated with a few diamonds, and embroidered with an unperfect moon on it.

The sound of insects chirping, singing and harmonizing one after another, although the night light of Jingwang's Mansion is not as bright as the East Palace, illuminating the whole palace like daytime, but it is also warm and pleasant.

She raised her feet and walked towards the path, under the shadow of the lamp, her shadow was stretched so long, she saw that there was a shadow longer than her on the ground, and when she turned around, it was Xiao Zhan who followed, and he followed her silently and expressionlessly.

She heard a noise in the tree, and just turned her head slightly, but Xiao Zhan shouted:

"Be careful."

She raised her eyes, only to see Xiao Zhan's hand blocking the sky above her head, it was a green and blackened epiphany branch and leaf, a flower bone covered with whiskers suddenly spit out, and then so many white flower bones appeared out of nowhere around her, and they all rushed to open.

The green flower receptacle, thin and white petals, under the light of the soft light, are as white as frost, like a secluded immortal.

"It's so beautiful, it turns out that this is a flash in the pan."

Hua Qing stared at the epiphany that bloomed suddenly, and her sickly face became even whiter.

"Unfortunately, the flowering period is very short, and it blooms suddenly. Otherwise, I really want to fold one and put it back in the vase at the head of the bed, just like the ancients folded plums. ”

After speaking, she coughed lightly a few times, because Xiao Zhan was there, even if she was coughing, she tried her best to restrain herself and behaved very lightly.

"You can keep a pot in your room if you like, but you never know when it will bloom. In order to be short-lived, you may have to wait for a long, long time, so long that you may forget that you have raised such a pot of flowers. Even, it may be raised, it will lose water, suddenly die, even if you wait for it to bloom, but it can only be like fireworks, suddenly, suddenly gone, maybe you raised it for ten or eight years, but you bumped into it when it bloomed only for a short moment, less than a cup of tea, in this way, do you still think it is worth it? ”

"It's worth it. If you like it, it's worth waiting for a long time, no matter whether it blooms or not, no matter how long its flowers last, as long as it's an epiphany, then everything is worth it. ”

Hua Qing answered his question without thinking. His hand when he took off his coat stiffened suddenly, and then he took off his coat, put it on Hua Qing, and said:

"It's cool at night, let's go back early!"

"You're leaving, aren't you?"

Xiao Zhan nodded silently. Hua Qing said clearly:

"Thank you for coming to see me today."

She unfastened her clothes.

She saw the deep light of a secluded pool from his starry eyes, and she found that there was a small scar at the end of his eyebrows, if she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't notice it at all, his facial features were delicate and three-dimensional, phoenix eyes and eagle nose, more resolute than Mo Huaijin's peach blossom eyes, Rao is a hard-hearted woman, seeing such a man, she can't escape his heroism, and in the end she will only end up with a heartbeat.

"I'll go back first, you should go back early, the princess will be worried if it's late."

She returned her coat to Xiao Zhan's hand, and turned around and went back to the dormitory without looking back.

Du You walked out from behind the tree, saw Xiao Zhan, who was lonely looking at Hua Qing's back, and persuaded:

"Your Highness, it's time for us to go back."

Xiao Zhan looked at the few big characters hanging on the dormitory, and couldn't help but lose his mind, his imperial uncle actually placed Hua Qing in his bedroom.

For several days, Xiao Zhan never came to King Jing's Mansion again, and the Seventh Prince, in addition to tending to flowers and plants every day, sat in front of the window with a book and read. Du Qingyi has always talked a lot, and with the consent of the Seventh Prince, he moved a small stool and sat at the head of Hua Qing's bed to give Hua Qing all kinds of interesting things about Fusang.

Hua Qing found out that she didn't know Xiao Zhan, Du Qingyi said that Xiao Zhan's mother was Zheng Ji, Zheng Ji's family didn't know what crime they committed in the Central Plains and was exiled. After grooming, I found that Zheng Ji looked beautiful and bright-eyed. Such a beauty was put in the palace, and within a few months, Zheng Ji became pregnant.

Zheng Ji died suddenly shortly after giving birth to Xiao Zhan, and now the secret is not mourning, after Zheng Ji's death, the national teacher family was tragically wiped out, and the specific reason is unknown to outsiders. It was rumored in the palace that Xiao Zhan, the prince who was born out of the palace, had a hard life and killed his mother. Imakami didn't like him either, so the prince, who was born without anyone to take care of, was adopted by his imperial grandmother, who took pity on him.

A few years later, the prince was deposed for his absurdity and violent personality, and soon after, the prince died of depression. The harem fell into a new round of palace fighting, and now it was going to be the son of the Rong concubine, Xiao Jiu, as the prince, but once, when the emperor entered the garden, he found that Xiao Jiu was riding on the back of the guard, whipping the guard, and riding the guard as a horse, the emperor was furious, so he put it aside.

And Xiao Zhan, he has always been very competitive, he can recite poetry at the age of three, learn to throw pots at the age of four, and at the age of seven, he already knows chess, control, and archery. Jinshang had sent him to the barracks, and he marched with the general to fight during the day, and at night he had to come back to listen to the Taifu's teachings. Eating and living with the soldiers, he was not superior to others at all because he was a prince, and he stayed in the barracks for three years, and only now he was called back.

After being recalled to the palace, Jinshang did not let him be idle, Jinshang invited Xingyun, who was known as the "Sword Immortal" on the rivers and lakes, to teach him swordsmanship, and when he was successful in swordsmanship, Jinshang threw him into the desert and let him survive in the wilderness, until he shot the wolf king of the desert, and Jinshang's biological mother, that is, Xiao Zhan's imperial grandmother, died before Jinshang called him back.

He was made the crown prince at the age of twelve, sent to the frontier at the age of sixteen to make many military exploits, was recalled to the imperial court at the age of eighteen, followed the national teacher to learn to govern the country, and at the age of nineteen was given marriage to marry the eldest princess Gu Lun of the Northern Liang.
