After Emperor Wu rewarded everyone, the banquet performance continued, and several female officials with pipas came up to play the "Plugged Song", the tune was graceful and listening, and the aftermath lingered.

Immediately instructed Feng Ying to call someone to pass the meal, so a large group of palace maids held silver plates, served a series of delicacies, there are the famous dishes of the imperial dining room, anchovy shark fin, colorful beef tenderloin, palace rabbit meat, pearl fish balls, coriander fried pigeon, osmanthus stewed fish, red bean porridge, sesame rolls, as well as the lotus duck made by the famous folk chef, Longjing bamboo shoots, milk fish fillet, wok-soaked goose meat, kung bao venison, etc., as well as countless fine wines from all over the world, at the moment, everyone has satisfied the appetite.

After the banquet, Emperor Wu stayed in the palace to live in the palace, and Chen Xian also stayed in the palace for the time being because the general's mansion was being arranged, living in his original residence.

Concubine Hu knew that Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian had a lot to say, so she took Amber and took the amber first, Queen Youlan and Xiao Jing also left early, Chen Xian was surrounded by several ministers and said goodbye, and after a while, she got out, and saw Xiao Mingyue waiting outside the door, so she quickly came to Xiao Mingyue's side, looked at her greedily, and said, "After leaving for a few months, Miss is safe and sound?" ”

Xiao Mingyue looked at Chen Xian and said with a smile: "I'm fine, but I want to congratulate Brother Chen, who is now General Pingnan." ”

After hearing this, Chen Xian said: "It's just that thanks to Your Majesty's love, now I should change my name to Miss County Lord." ”

"When no one is around, just call me Mingyue." Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.

After that, Chen Xian took out a hollow sachet made of gold thread from his arms, handed it to Xiao Mingyue and said: "Nanzhao that place is rich in spices, I saw that this sachet is exquisitely made, and I think it is very suitable for you, so I will bring it back to you." ”

Xiao Mingyue took the sachet and said happily: "I have indeed never seen such a sachet of workmanship, Brother Chen has a heart." ”

He smelled out that it was peach blossom fragrance again, and said: "It is filled with peach blossom powder, it turns out that Brother Chen likes peach blossom fragrance." ”

Chen Xian explained: "I don't understand this, I'm just picking on randomly, just don't dislike it." ”

After that, she felt that her words were a little inappropriate, and when she was hesitating, Xiao Mingyue smiled: "Don't worry, I like it very much." ”

After speaking, he took out the purse he had embroidered from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Xian, and said: "I learned some female red with my aunt before, so I embroidered a golden eagle on it, and I hope that Brother Chen will not dislike it either." ”

Chen Xian saw it, stretched out his hands to hold Xiao Mingyue's hands and said: "Mingyue, I saw your letter saying 'Mo Shang Flowers are blooming, you can return slowly', my heart has already flown back with the letter, so I just want myself to return triumphantly, and now that I am back, I will stay by your side wholeheartedly." After that, he took the purse and looked at Xiao Mingyue with affection.

Xiao Mingyue also looked at Chen Xian and said: "I only wish to be a one-hearted person, hand in hand, I never seek glory and wealth, I only want to live a stable and simple life with the person I like." ”

Chen Xian said: "I am willing to do my best to protect you for the rest of your life." ”

The moon was white and the wind was clear, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Ahem, cough, cough" A man's voice came from the side, and the two turned their heads to see that it was Xiao Zhong.

"You're a private decision for life?" Xiao Zhong said with a smile.

"My cousin came, he didn't make a sound, and he eavesdropped on others." Xiao Mingyue scolded angrily.

Xiao Zhong frowned and said, "You can't blame me, I came from afar, if you weren't out of your mind, how could you not see it?" Besides, I'm not afraid of disturbing you. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Mingyue said with some embarrassment: "It's not too early, I'll go back first." ”

Chen Xian hurriedly said, "I'll send you back." ”

Xiao Zhong said stoppingly: "What's the hurry, the days will be long in the future, I'm afraid I won't see enough?" Don't worry, there are palace people outside who will send her back. ”

After Chen Xian listened, he couldn't say anything more.

Chen Xian asked, "Your Highness is going to be here for a long time?" ”

Xiao Zhong smiled: "It's still the same, some people think I'm good, and some people think I'm bad." ”

After hearing this, Chen Xian asked seriously: "Did those people attack His Highness again?" ”

Xiao Zhong said: "I got the opportunity before, and I wanted to kill me, but fortunately, the evil turned into good fortune. ”

Chen Xian said: "His Royal Highness has been tolerating everywhere for many years, and now he is still regarded as a thorn in his side. In this case, Your Highness might as well turn your passivity into initiative, there are some things that should have been Your Highness. ”

Xiao Zhong crossed his arms, looked at the sky and said: "My mother doesn't want me to fight with others, and I don't have that much ambition, all I want is to be quiet and indifferent, to play in the mountains and rivers, and to accompany my mother." ”

After hearing this, Chen Xian said, "However, I'm afraid that others may not be able to understand what His Highness thinks." ”

Xiao Zhong said again: "I just want to have a clear conscience, and they may understand in the future." ”

Chen Xian listened and said firmly: "No matter what choice His Highness makes, the minister will do his best to support His Highness." ”

Xiao Zhong listened to it and said with a smile: "Good brother, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm even more high-spirited, let's go, drink, the peach blossoms brewed by Mingyue were drunk before, and I stole a pot." ”

After that, the two went to Chen Xian's house, had a drink, and had a long talk.

Inside the Chunning Palace.

Xiao Mingyue was lying on the bed, looking at the sachet in her hand, she couldn't help but think of the picture just now, and couldn't help laughing.

Amber was cleaning up the books on the table, and when she heard Xiao Mingyue's laughter, she ran to the bed regardless of the books that had not been sorted out in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss is so happy when she comes back, she has been holding this sachet in her hand, it must have been given by the general, he really has a heart, he still thinks about Miss in his heart when he fights on the front line, and he gave Miss such a valuable bracelet before; There is also that Yuwen Gongzi, who also sent the girl jade hairpin and the title deed, and helped us find the gecko, no wonder the old man who told fortunes in Jiming Temple would say that, don't you think it's two peach blossoms? ”

Xiao Mingyue turned her head to look at Amber and said, "Have you seen the jade hairpin and the title deed?" ”

Amber said, "The slave saw it a few days ago when she was cleaning up. ”

Xiao Mingyue said again: "Those are just what he forced me to accept, and I will return them to him with interest when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Amber said: "After these few times, the slave maid looked at Yuwen Gongzi and was sincere to the young lady, although he looked at it a little, but he was also an infatuated gentleman, before the young lady asked the slave to send the letter out overnight, the slave felt that the young lady also remembered him a little, not completely unintentional." ”

Xiao Mingyue hurriedly got up, sat up on the edge of the bed and said, "What benefits did he give you, speaking for him like this?" ”

Amber said: "The slave maid is for the sake of the young lady, and I know that the young lady does not ask for the Hou family, but only for the single-minded person." ”

When Xiao Mingyue heard this, she said: "I can't imagine it, Amber, it turns out that you are so mature in your words and thoughts, you are not like a teenage girl, but more like a grandmother who is dozens of years old." ”

Amber said: "People are all thinking about Miss, and Miss is laughing at the slave again." With that, he continued to clean up the books on the table and shelves.

Xiao Mingyue was lying on the bed, thinking about what Amber said, and thinking that she really had a little temptation for Yu Wendi, so she immediately opened her mouth and denied it: "Impossible, the person I like is obviously Brother Chen, not him." ”

But then I thought about it, why did I ask someone to deliver a letter to him overnight, really just to repay the grace of saving my life? So I had a lot of thoughts, and I thought about it for a long time before falling asleep.

After a few more days, the autumn was crisp and the wind was beautiful. Xiao Mingyue proposed to go to the suburbs to fly kites, so she asked someone to inform Gao Mengyao, Xiao Huan, and Xiao Zhong and Chen Xian.

The group rode horses and drove to the outskirts.

Xiao Mingyue prepared a kite with a big goldfish pattern for Xiao Huan, a kite with a green peacock and a golden phoenix pattern for Gao Mengyao and her cousin Xiao Zhong, a wild goose kite for herself, and an eagle kite for Chen Xian.

Xiao Wan put it up with great interest, Amber helped Xiao Wan hold the kite next to her, pulling the string, and after a while, the goldfish flew high.

The rest of the people also raised their kites one after another, ready to release them into the air, Xiao Zhong helped Gao Mengyao put the kite up, and then Chen Xian also helped Xiao Mingyue put the geese up, and then the two of them each flew their own kites.

After a while, several people's kites flew high, one after another, and you chased me. But it didn't last long, I didn't want a gust of wind to blow, and Xiao Huan's kite fell into the water, blowing Gao Mengyao and Xiao Zhong's kites off the ground one after another, and Xiao Mingyue's kite flew the highest, and I don't know when it was already entangled with Chen Xian's kite, and it couldn't be pulled away, and finally Xiao Mingyue proposed: "It's better to cut the kite string." ”

So, let the attendant on the side find scissors, cut the line with a knife, and the two kites flew away together.

Xiao Wan said with a smile: "Sister Yue's kite and General Chen's kite flew away together, unlike our kites that all fell off, does this mean that the two of you are destined."

Is it a pair? ”

Xiao Zhong and Gao Mengyao couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

Xiao Mingyue said: "A child should be like a child, the princess is too precocious." ”

Xiao Wan said proudly: "Obviously, I see that General Chen's eyes are not flying kites at all, but have been watching Sister Yue, no wonder your kites are entangled." ”

After saying this, the two of them were even more red-faced.

Xiao Zhong opened his mouth and interrupted: "Huan'er, if you want to eat fish for a while, the eldest brother will take you to fish." ”

Xiao Wan listened and said happily: "Great, but the eldest brother should accompany Sister Gao, then I will go with Amber and not disturb you." ”

With that, the two of them laughed and ran to the lake next to them and caught a fish.

Xiao Mingyue said: "I haven't come to ride a horse for a long time, I'll go see Xiaobai." With that, he turned and walked to the stables.

Xiao Zhong said to Chen Xian: "Don't go with me yet." ”

Chen Xian couldn't take much care of it when he heard it, so he hurriedly chased after him.

Xiao Zhong said to Gao Mengyao again: "Why don't we go boating and enjoy the scenery in the lake." ”

Gao Mengyao smiled: "Okay." ”

So, the two also went boating.
