"Go to the Tai Hospital to pass a doctor, let me go to the Beixuan Palace." Dugu Yanxiang no longer had the intention of going to the early dynasty, he looked at the ministers below and said absentmindedly.

Ning Chun'an was ordered to go.

Dugu Yanxiang was in the court, but his heart had already drifted to the Beixuan Palace.

He sat in the dragon chair and listened impatiently to the reports of the ministers below.

"Your Majesty, the flooding of the Yellow River has been serious again recently, and I am afraid that the silver allocated by the imperial court is not enough!" A courtier said.

"How much is missing?" Dugu Yanxiang asked. "Now that the weather is getting cooler, the food, housing and transportation of the victims are all problems, and at least 200,000 taels are needed."

"I will ask the household department to check, and if there is no falsehood, I will send you the silver." Dugu Yanxiang said.

He looked at the crowd again: "What else is there to play?" The ministers lowered their heads as if they were thinking about something. But there was no one who spoke.

Dugu Yanxiang saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said: "Okay, then retreat!" ”

Then a shrill voice shouted, "Retreat." And they bowed and bowed, and departed.

Dugu Yanxiang also hurriedly returned to the Kangqian Palace, changed his clothes and said, "Let's go, go to the Beixuan Palace." Ning Chunan stopped: "Your Majesty, didn't you make an appointment with Rong Meiren to go to her palace?" ”

"Oh, yes, tell her I'll go another day." Dugu Yanxiang said and walked out.

"Yes." Ning Chunan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

As soon as Dugu Yanxiang arrived at the Beixuan Palace, he came to Shangguan Beitang's bed, Shangguan Beitang wanted to get up and salute but was stopped by him: "No need, you can lie down well!" ”

Then he turned to Yuzhu next to him in a cold tone and asked, "What's the matter?" How do you serve? ”

Yuzhu was so frightened when he heard this that he hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this is none of Yuzhu's business, it's me who has eaten too much hurtful food." Shangguan Beitang immediately explained.

"What did you eat yesterday?" Dugu Yanxiang asked again.

"A roast chicken."

"It seems that the Beixuan Mansion has to change its cook. Dragged out the person who made the roast chicken yesterday and cut it off. Dugu Yanxiang waved his hand to Ning Chun'an and said.

"Your Majesty, no, it's none of their business." Shangguan Beitang blocked the way.

"Your Majesty, Princess Nanxiang has been living in the mansion these days, and the prince always eats badly, so last night the slave maid took a roast chicken from the kitchen to the prince, so that the prince would eat hurt food, this matter is really not the business of others." Yuzhu kowtowed and said.

"Get up!" Dugu Yanxiang said to Yuzhu, and then turned his head to Shangguan Beitang and asked suspiciously: "Hmph, you, it's not that you don't have anything to eat, why do you eat so much, why can't you eat so much, Princess Nanxiang, why can't you eat well!"

"This, this" Shangguan Beitang was still hesitating what to say and what words to use.

But I heard Qin Boyu's report: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, Princess Nanxiang has arrived." ”

"Let her in! I'd like to see what's going on with her? Dugu Yanxiang said.

Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but shrink his body back into the quilt when he heard this. He really didn't know what amazing move this Nanxiang princess would make in front of the emperor.

When she was young, Princess Nanxiang walked in lightly. She first bowed down and bowed to Dugu Yanxiang, who was sitting on the edge of the bed: "Mingshu see the emperor." ”

"Get up." Dugu Yanxiang waved his hand and said, "Recently, you have been living comfortably in Beixuan King?" ”

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine." Princess Nanxiang replied obediently.

Shangguan Beitang looked at her, and thought with some resentment: Of course you are fine, you are a guest, for the friendship between Da Jiang and Nanxiang to last, this king can't do anything to you, but this king is not comfortable at all!

Then, Princess Nanxiang stepped forward and ignored Dugu Yanxiang's presence, directly reached out to Shangguan Beitang's forehead and touched it, then touched her forehead, and said, "There is no fever, how do you feel, prince?" ”

"Okay, better~ much better." Shangguan Beitang will be inexplicably nervous when he sees Princess Nanxiang now. "If you feel unwell, tell me, and I'll serve you." Princess Nanxiang chose the quilt of Shangguan Beitang again.

"This king is fine, how dare you bother the princess to serve." Shangguan Beitang said.

"Where is the prince, you and I are already husband and wife, why do you have to see each other like this. If I say that, I'm not happy! Princess Nanxiang dressed in anger.

"The princess can't talk nonsense! I have nothing to do with you! Shangguan Beitang hurriedly explained. Because he saw that Dugu Yanxiang was looking at him with very peculiar eyes.

"I want to marry you with dignity, and I am not afraid of other people's words!" Princess Nanxiang is calm.

Dugu Yanxiang saw that Shangguan Beitang really couldn't do anything about this Nanxiang princess, and he finally knew why Shangguan Beitang couldn't eat well and sleep well.

Then he opened his mouth and said: "Princess Nanxiang is a distinguished guest of my Jiang country, how can she serve others, I see that these jobs are still done by Yuzhu!" Yuzhu? ”

"The slave is here." Yuzhu stepped forward to say goodbye. "Beixuan Wang Zhen can be left to your care, you have to be careful." Dugu Yanxiang said deliberately. "Yes."

Then he said: "Also, Princess Mingshu, if we want to marry a man and a woman in Dajiang, we need the words of the matchmaker of our parents, although you chose the king of Beixuan, but you also need the consent of the king of Beixuan, don't you?"

"The prince has already agreed." Princess Nanxiang said with a smile.

"When did the king agree?" Shangguan Beitang couldn't help but say a little anxiously, and he almost turned over and sat up.

Dugu Yanxiang pressed him and signaled with his eyes that he didn't have to get up.

"Didn't you talk to me a long time ago?" Princess Nanxiang said again. "I,"

"Okay, Princess Mingshu, if you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can go into the palace to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother likes you very much!" Dugu Yanxiang said again.

"Yes, I also like the Queen Mother. After two days, when the prince is well, I will go to see her. "Princess Nanxiang's arrangement is orderly.

"I see that you will go tomorrow, the King of Beixuan needs to recuperate these days, you are afraid that he will not rest well, and you are bored, right? Why don't you go tomorrow, and I will call someone to pick you up. Dugu Yanxiang also arranged that could not be refused.

"Well, well!" Princess Nanxiang reluctantly looked at Shangguan Beitang.

Shangguan Beitang was happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard the emperor speak for him. Finally he could be pure.

He cast a grateful glance at Dugu Yanxiang. The emperor also looked at him with affection, and said, "Okay, you all go out first, I still have something to say to the king of Beixuan." ”

And they all bowed and withdrew.

Shangguan Beitang saw that everyone was gone, and said with a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty, you have seen it, this Nanxiang princess is really powerless." ”

"Well, I know you're in trouble! Wait a few days for me to find an excuse for her to live in the palace, don't come to disturb you again, can you be pure? Dugu Yanxiang patiently persuaded him.

"Don't let her go in a few days, let's let her go now, what if she lives in the mansion and finds a mistake in the minister's body?" Shangguan Beitang said again.

"Don't worry, no, I will do my best to protect you, besides, this Nanxiang princess came with the queen mother's decree, and I just asked her to leave, which is too rude!" Dugu Yanxiang is the emperor after all, and he also has his considerations.

"Your Majesty, you don't plan to sell me to that Nanxiang princess for the sake of Jiang Guo's friendship with Nanxiang, right?" Shangguan Beitang asked with a wink.

Hearing this, Dugu Yanxiang smiled and said, "How is it possible, even if I lose this country, I will never live up to you." ”

Shangguan Beitang rolled his eyes and thought: You and I know that it is impossible, how can we still say this. Then he turned over and evaded: "The emperor is serious. The minister was a little sleepy and wanted to rest. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back to the palace first, you can rest for a long time! In the next few days, I will call the Imperial Doctor to take your pulse. Dugu got up and said.

"Well, congratulations," Shangguan Beitang stood up and wanted to worship. "Okay, okay, you just lie down." After that, Dugu Yanxiang walked out of the inner room.

said that Shangguan Beitang was ill, so he lay in bed for six or seven days. It's not that his illness is not well, but as long as he walks around the yard, he will definitely meet Princess Nanxiang.

Fortunately two days ago, Dugu Yanxiang sent someone to take her to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. But she couldn't go to the palace every day, so she found an excuse and didn't go.

Dugu Yanxiang really had no choice, so he asked the famous ladies of all families in Beijing to set up a poetry club and specially invited Princess Nanxiang.

Who knew that this Nanxiang princess only went for one day and never went again, her heart was all tied to Shangguan Beitang, where would she have the heart to do anything else.

In the end, Dugu Yanxiang had no choice. After all, Park Mingshu is also a princess of a country, and he is a guest, so he can't arrange people everywhere.

There was no way, Shangguan Beitang had to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. But this is not a long-term solution after all. He pondered a solution, but he had no clue.

Now he understands that it is more difficult to deal with women than to lead troops into battle...

This night, Shangguan Beitang lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

When he was puzzled, he heard a sound in the distance.

The sound of this flute is tactful and listening, free and uninhibited, but full of lovesickness.

Since the last time he heard Mu Nanfeng blowing the flute, Shangguan Beitang knew that the sound of the flute could not be blown by others.

So he dressed neatly, pushed the door and left the Beixuan Palace.

Out of the palace, he followed the sound of the flute and came to a purple bamboo forest not far away by the moonlight.

In the middle of the forest, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped. There was silence all around. There was no sound other than his own footsteps and breathing.

Shangguan Beitang was not afraid, walked a few steps forward, stopped and said, "Brother Nanfeng, since you are here, why don't you show up?" ”

There was still no movement around, and there was not a single figure to be seen.

"The younger brother wants to invite his brother to sit at the house, and he also asks the elder brother to show up." Shangguan Beitang said again.

"Hey, you, you! I'm really here to make trouble! An empty voice came, and then a handsome boy in white clothes fell from the sky on a delicate bamboo leaf.

After landing lightly, he stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Wang." ”

"Brother Nanfeng doesn't have to be polite, when did you come to Kyoto, since you came, why don't you come to this king's mansion?" Shangguan Beitang was naturally very happy to see his old friend, and said with a smile.

"I just arrived in Kyoto City today. When passing by this purple bamboo forest, I found that there is a treasure here. and waited until it came out, and took it and gave it to you as a gift. I didn't expect that I had just drawn it out with the sound of the flute, but I was scared back by your two voices. Mu Nanfeng said with a little pity.

"Oh? What a baby is so strange. Shangguan Beitang asked curiously.
