She was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly greeted her: "Bachelor Bai, Wanniang, you are finally here!" ”

Bai Juyi and Zheng Wanniang turned around together, and saw Xilingyue appear at the arch, and there was a man in white standing beside him. Both of them had their eyes fixed on him, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, respond to Xilingyue's voice, and greet Xiao Yi again.

The two sides were polite, and entered the inner hall together to talk, Xiao Yi retired in time, and Xilingyue didn't stop him, and went into the house with a brocade box and chatted with a few people. Only then did she know that the Holy Lord had sent a lieutenant envoy from Chang'an to Zhenhai for final comfort and persuasion, and if Li Qi still refused to enter Beijing, the Holy Lord would plan to tear his face with him.

Bai Juyi learned the news from Li Chengxuan, where could he still sit still, and quietly left Zhenhai with Zheng Wanniang that night and went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to meet a few people.

"Oh, no wonder the prince wants to stay in Luoyang for a few days, it turns out that he is waiting for Bai Bachelor and Wan Niang!" Xiling Yue finally understood.

Li Chengxuan smiled but didn't answer, and asked Bai Juyi: "Is the road going well?" ”

"Fortunately, Pei Jun secretly helped,

Everything went smoothly. Bai Juyi replied truthfully, suddenly a little curious, "Lord, that Pei Xingli is Li Qi's nephew, and he has always been loyal, and the lower officials have tried every means to win him over, but he has always ignored him." You only stayed in Runzhou for twenty days, how did you turn against him? ”

Li Chengxuan glanced at Xiling Yue first, and groaned slightly: "Secret." ”

Several people craned their necks and waited for him to answer, but they only heard these two words, and they were inevitably disappointed.

Bai Juyi's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Li Chengxuan's gaze, he remembered one thing and reached into his arms: "Oh yes, Xiling lady, I am ...... by the king"

"Lotte," Li Chengxuan suddenly interrupted him, "You're tired today, so let's rest early." ”

Bai Juyi was stunned, reacted immediately, and pulled his hand out of his arms: "Oh yes, Xia Guan is a little tired." ”

But Xilingyue was not stupid, seeing his words and demeanor like this, she knew that he must have something to take out, and couldn't help asking: "What does Master Bai want to say?" Have you been entrusted by the prince to buy something? ”

"Uh......" Bai Juyi reacted very quickly, "Hey, the lady misunderstood, I mean, I heard the prince mention that the Dushan jade in Dengzhou is of excellent quality, so this time I made a special trip to buy a piece and wanted to give it to the concubine at home...... I also asked the lady to help see how the style was. ”

As soon as he said this, Zheng Wanniang's face suddenly became very strange.

Xiling Yue knew it in her heart, but she deliberately smiled back at Bai Juyi: "Okay, but doesn't Master Bai buy jade and only give it to the concubine's room, not his wife's room?" ”

Bai Juyi felt embarrassed: "This ...... I haven't married a wife yet. ”

Guo Zhongting also heard it for the first time: "Ah! Bachelor Bai has always been established, and he hasn't married a wife yet? ”

Bai Juyi really wiped his sweat this time: "Back to the county prince, the lower officials are fifty out of thirty, and they are indeed ......."

"Bachelor Bai devoted himself to studying, so he mistakenly started a family." Li Chengxuan opened his mouth to relieve the siege for him, "But he has a meritorious role in lurking in Zhenhai this time, and the saint will have a heavy reward, and it is not far from him to get married." ”

"Thank you for your auspicious words! If the saint does not grant marriage, the lower officials will rely on the prince. Bai Juyi said this, and deliberately bowed to him.

The crowd burst out laughing.

Li Chengxuan thought that this matter had been revealed, but who expected that Xilingyue still remembered the piece of Dushan jade, and stretched out his right hand towards Bai Juyi.

The latter was stunned: "What? ”

Xilingyue smiled: "Oh, you're really forgetful, didn't you ask me to help you staff Dushanyu?" ”

"Oh, yes." Bai Juyi smiled, so he had to reach into his arms again and take out a piece of fine jade pendant. The jade pendant is really exquisite, it is a rare double-sided carving, the front carving is "the flower is good and the moon is full", the reverse is "two orioles and a line of egrets", the carving is delicate, ingenious!

Xilingyue took it in her hand and looked at it repeatedly, and was even more sure that this jade pendant was given to herself. Looking at the pattern of "flowers and full moon" on the front, doesn't it symbolize that she was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival?

There are also yellow orioles and egrets on the reverse side, which are also famous sentences from the Du Gong Department:

Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the sky. The window contains a thousand autumn snow in Xiling, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship.

The sum of these two patterns just implies her name "Xiling Yue"!

She was happy in her heart, coughed lightly, and said deliberately: "Oh, this jade pendant is so beautiful, and it also implies my name!"

I wonder if Mr. Bai can cut his love to me? ”

"Uh......" Bai Juyi couldn't help but glance at Li Chengxuan, and saw that the latter took a sip of tea with a teacup and no expression on his face. He immediately laughed, "Ahaha! If the lady of Xiling likes it, just take ......"

The word "go" has not yet been spoken, but when he heard a soft sound of "ding", Xilingyue's hand was numb, and the jade pendant suddenly took off his hand and flew towards Li Chengxuan's front door. The latter happened to be holding a teacup in his hand, and with a casual throw, the teacup and the jade pendant collided in mid-air, and fell to the ground with two "bangs".

Zheng Wanniang exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated. Li Chengxuan was about to get up and draw his sword, when he saw a woman dressed in black appear at the door, holding a middle-aged man with a bloated figure in his hand. Still wearing a veil, she calmly stepped through the door and chuckled: "King Fu doesn't have to worry, Nie Yin is not here to kill." ”

Thinking that Guo Zhongting was too nervous, the other party had obviously reported his name, but he still shouted and asked: "Bold thief, report your name!" ”

"Fairy Lingbo, Nie Yinniang." Li Chengxuan said her famous name.

Nie Yinniang smiled lightly, and that smile was also extremely cold. She threw the middle-aged man she was holding in her hand on the floor tiles, and said, "I saw King Fu's skills twice, Nie Yin was deeply impressed, and I came to pay a visit." ”

Seeing this, Guo Zhongting wanted to shout "catch the assassin" outward, but was stopped by Li Chengxuan with his hand raised. He looked at Nie Yinniang with a calm expression: "Fairy Nie became famous in the rivers and lakes, and he has never interacted with the imperial court, but he has been embarrassed by this king one after another recently, what is the reason?" ”

"Don't hide it from the prince, Nie Yin needs silver for emergency, so he took two orders of business." Nie Yinniang was very calm.

"Two singles...... Li Chengxuan narrowed his eyes, "Who is the employer?" ”

"Please forgive Nie Yin for not being able to tell me."

"The first order is Mrs. Gao, let you kill the prince of Zhenhai and the daughter of Jiang Fu?" Li Chengxuan further guessed.

Nie Yinniang didn't answer, and her eyes outside the veil showed acquiescence.

Li Chengxuan smiled meaninglessly: "It seems that another employer has a lot of background and hired you to assassinate this king." ”

Nie Yinniang still didn't argue, but said: "Don't worry, Nie Yin, if you dare to show up, you will give up this business." ”

"Oh? Nie Xianzi has a business or not? Li Chengxuan didn't believe it.

"Although Nie Yin is a killer in the rivers and lakes, he also has clear grievances, who should be killed and who should not be killed, Nie Yin can tell the difference." Nie Yinniang smiled back, "You are wise and decisive, wouldn't it be a disaster for the people to kill you?" ”
