The appointed day finally came, Liu Qingfeng waited outside the palace gate with his team early, he returned here after a long time, he just missed it, he had to take a good look at every inch of land.

Princess Ah Lian asked him beside him, "Is this a place you are familiar with?" Look at you all the time, do you feel that you haven't been back for more than half a year, everything here has changed, and it's a bit of a thing. ”

Liu Qingfeng asked rhetorically: "Why did the princess say that?" I don't think there is a feeling that things are wrong, but I am everywhere in my heart, and I remember it very tightly. ”

Princess Ah Lian lost face, he felt that Liu Qingfeng returned here, he must have felt that this place was not like his hometown, but Dali was now his hometown, but he didn't expect Liu Qingfeng to miss the old so much, and he still liked this place.

She comforted herself again: It's okay, anyway, I'm going to capture this place in a while, and this place will be given to Liu Qingfeng as a gift, it's not a big deal at all.

In this way, Princess Ah Lian comforted herself, and then smiled again.

And Jiang Yingxue and Liu Qingfeng in the harem were also in the same mood, she got up early, because she knew that she might see Liu Qingfeng today, so she dressed up deliberately, more gorgeous than any day, and even the palace maid next to her was wondering: Niangniang never dressed up, how did she dress up so beautiful today? Is it to win the emperor's favor? But the emperor's favor is already in his hands, so why should she?

The palace maid thought like this, while looking at Jiang Yingxue, she almost dressed herself up in a fancy way, and finally sat in the hall and drank tea silently, and did not talk to anyone.

A palace maid stepped forward and wanted to say a word or two, but was stopped by Xiao Tao: "Go down, what do you want to do, let Concubine Xi be quiet alone." ”

"The slave just wanted to change a cup of tea for Concubine Xi, and the slave saw that the tea in Concubine Xi's hand was already cold."

Xiao Tao noticed that Jiang Yingxue didn't drink a few sips of tea at all, so she let the tea slowly cool down, and she immediately said to Jiang Yingxue: "That's none of your business, go down, hurry up." ”

Saying this, the palace maid went down in a gloomy manner, and then Xiao Tao took the cup in Jiang Yingxue's hand.

"Niangniang, I'll change a cup of tea for Niangniang, or put down this teacup, I haven't drunk much when I see Niangniang."

Jiang Yingxue looked at Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao immediately understood what Jiang Yingxue meant: she knew that there were important people coming today, so she deliberately waited here, those eyes were open and focused, and she couldn't be mistaken.

"Mother."

Xiao Tao deliberately withdrew everyone, leaving only herself: "Miss, who are you waiting for?" ”

Xiao Tao knew that Niangniang must be waiting for someone, but she didn't understand who Niangniang was waiting for, Jiang Yingxue saw that there was no one around, so she told Xiao Tao the truth: "He's coming back, do you understand?" He's coming back! ”

Xiao Tao was also surprised when she heard it just now: "What? Miss means that the prince is coming back? ”

"That's right, he's coming back, and we're finally going to wait for him!"

Xiao Tao was even more surprised: "Isn't he already ...... the prince?"

"I can't tell you any more details, anyway, we're just waiting here quietly, and we'll be able to wait for him."

Xiao Tao thought that Jiang Yingxue was crazy for a moment, but he quickly reacted, there were many things that Jiang Yingxue was inconvenient to tell himself, in fact, he could wait for the result of the truth as long as he waited a little longer.

As soon as the time came, the Dahlia and others entered the palace, and there were guards inside and outside the palace, and there were more ceremonial officials to guide them, so everything could not go wrong, and some acquaintances were naturally surprised when they saw that the princess of the Dahlia clan was following Liu Qingfeng, and Liu Qingfeng found that this matter was really difficult to do, so he simply brought a mask.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly wearing a mask? Aren't you happy to come to this palace? ”

"Princess, please forgive me for being reckless, but I must wear a mask."

"Why, I don't understand, are you ...... with the people here?"

"No, but I used to be a commoner, if I don't wear it, how many people will recognize me, such as the guards, if I recognize it, it will naturally be embarrassing, please forgive the princess."

Princess Ah Lian also thought that what Wuliu said was the same, he was no longer a citizen here, but a citizen of Dali, even if one or two guards recognized him, they would complain about him in their hearts, thinking about why he would submit to others instead of himself.

"Okay, that's what you said, then you can wear it, I don't have any opinion."

As she spoke, the princess quickened her pace.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, everyone was waiting for the Dahlia delegation to pay tribute, so there was nothing else to discuss for the time being. Until Princess Ah Lian went in with Liu Qingfeng, all the officials looked at them.

Princess Ah Lian took the lead in kneeling, and Liu Qingfeng also knelt down.

The emperor treats Liu Qingfeng like an ordinary person, without any excitement, he knows that it must be Liu Qingfeng under this mask, so he doesn't need to confirm it, but he has to pretend to be the scene in front of him, so that Princess Ah Lian and everyone think that this colt and Liu Qingfeng are not the same person at all: "Flatten, this time the Dahlia can come to pay tribute, I am very happy, when you go back, I will definitely give you ten thousand taels of gold and a number of treasures." ”

"Thank you, the emperor, I thanked the emperor on behalf of the people of Dalihu."

The emperor mentioned the newly sealed concubine: "I heard that Princess Ah Lian already has a husband, this concubine is a young talent, why is he wearing a mask?" Can you take off your mask and show it? ”

At this time, Princess Ah Lian naturally looked at Liu Qingfeng, knelt down and apologized to the emperor: "The emperor forgives me, my horse has a wound on my face, and I am afraid that I will scare you when I take it off." ”

The emperor nodded without too much harshness, if he had too much harshness, it would be strange.

"I see, then you don't have to take it off."

Saying that, the emperor asked his eunuch to accept the tribute from the Dahlia, and then chatted with them for a while, and then invited them into the side hall for lunch.

The dishes on the table are all Liu Qingfeng's favorites, which shows that the emperor has worked hard. Liu Qingfeng's heart was really moved, and he also wanted to see Jiang Yingxue soon, the two of them hadn't seen each other for so long, I don't know how she became like her, I really wanted to care about her immediately.

"Princess, I am really happy, after the two twin princesses, the princess of the Dahlia clan can come to the court to pay tribute."

"Why don't you have a drink together?" The emperor said so.
