Xia Xing waved his hand and quietly walked back with Bing Ning and Lu Wan. Halfway through, Lu Wan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the princess going today?" Xia Xing stretched his waist: "No, I'm not going." Lu Wan thought of meeting Mrs. Dou and the eldest princess today, but unfortunately she was too far away to hear what they were saying. So he looked at the stones on the side of the road and asked casually: "I don't know what Taifu Dou is doing in Cining Palace today?" ”

Bing Ning replied to her: "What can you do, enter the palace every day, you have to see your aunt." Didn't you see the eldest princess also go to see the queen mother, what happened to our little girl? "Lu Wan thinks about it, I am only responsible for the whereabouts of Princess Beiyan, and other people have nothing to do with me.

In Wan Yuxuan, Xia Han was also receiving Shu Hui. When the palace maid came up for refreshments, she retreated, and the two quietly tasted tea for a long time, and Shuhui also saw that Xia Han didn't speak, so she coughed: "It's the first time I've come to Wan Yuxuan, I invited you and Xia Xing to go to Qingning Palace before, but you didn't go, I'm about to move out, and you are going to Yanwang's Mansion outside the palace, it's not difficult to see you in the future, I can't get out of the palace." ”

Oops, what is this all about. Unexpectedly, Xia Han nodded unexpectedly and comforted: "Well, we will often come to the palace to see you." "It will often be announced into the palace by Emperor Jing, the Queen Mother, and the Empress. Now the second princess is happy,

Shuhui also said happily: "By the way, have you ever heard that the prince of Xiliang is going to marry my country?" Xia Han's hand holding the tea shook, and he immediately regained his composure.

looked at Ming Hui without a trace, and asked, "You are very happy to marry Xiliang." Shuhui also looked at Xia Han tightly, and said as a matter of course: "The princess was originally going to marry as a bridge between the two countries." Then he asked expectantly, "Then Xia Han, in the future, if you want, which princess will you choose?" ”

After sending away Shuhuiye, Xia Han kept that posture until Xia Xing came in. "Second brother, what are you thinking? Motionless! Xia Han said directly: "It's Xiliang's marriage to Huaguo." Xia Xing pulled a stool and sat down: "I also want to talk to you about this, I heard that it may be Minglan ." ”

Xia Han turned his head to look at Xia Xing: "Could it be that this matter has been spread by everyone else." Xia Xing played with the teacup: "It's hard to say, even the parties know about it, is there anything else in this palace that I don't know?" Xia Han was puzzled: "Minglan knows, what kind of attitude?" ”

Xia Xing shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course: "I must be unwilling, I have my father and brother to take care of me in my own country, and if I choose someone who is lower than myself, I am naturally a princess; When you go to other countries to be an imperial concubine, the family is almost the same, but you have to look at people's faces. It would be good if the two countries were at peace with each other, once they met each other...... Then she will be miserable. Xia Han pondered: "Will Emperor Jing agree?" What does it mean once agreed? ”

"It means that the two of us are outcasts! It's bait! Surely something happened that we don't know, or is this just a temptation on the part of Xiliang? Xia Han affirmed: "It's not what happened to Xiliang, it's what happened to Beiyan." Let Emperor Jing feel that the two of us are not of much use, so he wants to appease Xiliang in the name of harmony. Xia Xing turned the edge of the teacup and thought about it in a circle.

In the end, I couldn't help but spit out the truth: "The eldest brother asked Xiliang for a kiss, it is Princess Yuxiu." Xia Han was shocked and leaned on the edge of the table: "What! After calming down, he said: "What's going on, tell me clearly, how did you know." "Not long ago, I went out of the palace and learned about it from Shopkeeper Fu." "You actually left the palace without permission? I really don't know what to say about you, we can move outside the palace soon, what are you doing out of the palace at this time? How dangerous, it's nothing. ”

"There is no danger, I just want my father and queen mother to know that I am doing well, but I accidentally learned the news. The eldest brother said that he would ask Hua Guo to go back to his wedding, and then ......" Xia Han took it and continued: "Then we don't have to come back, Xiliang will form an alliance with Beiyan to fight against Hua Guo, right?" At this point, he shook his head amusedly.

"But Xiliang repented, or did he want to maintain the apparent calm, so that Huaguo and Beiyan would both lose and reap the benefits of the fisherman, wasn't this what they had always planned? The end result hasn't changed, it's just that the way has changed. Xia Xing's eyes were misty and he looked ahead, without a goal: "Second brother, have you thought about it, maybe Xiliang has a bigger picture, he wants to emulate the Yushun Dynasty." ”

Xia Han sighed: "I know, after all, I can almost enter the Central Plains, King Liang should have this ambition, we can only wait for Emperor Jing's decision." This was the end of the conversation between the two, and soon Xia Xing walked out, and the whole room fell into darkness and silence.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Emperor Jing's decision also came out, and with the encouragement of the courtiers or conservatives, or the opposition of the radicals, and in the expectation of the harem, he decided to agree to Xiliang's courtship. One stone stirs up a thousand waves, the people are mostly curious and envious, part of the court raises their eyebrows, part of them sighs, the queen mother and queen in the harem are appeased to the mother and daughter of the virtuous concubine, and the dowry and utensils are sufficient.

On this day, Concubine Xian's mother and daughter were extremely tired, and the concubines from all palaces came to give gifts, saying how Xiliang was, how good it was, and accepting the baptism of envy, jealousy or schadenfreude. Minglan has changed from a noble girl of the clan to a willful shrew who locks herself in the house all day long, smashing things to vent, and Concubine Xian is also sad and gloomy all day long, washing her face with tears, and the whole person has lost a lot.

Seeing that Minglan was getting more and more anxious and haggard, Concubine Xian thought that she couldn't let her hold it all the time, so she asked the queen to hold a garden party to enjoy the flowers.

Xia Xing sat on the swing frame and swung around, bored, when Xiao Dezi came over and bowed down and called 'Your Highness'. Xia Xing turned his head to look at him in lazy slow motion, dressed in a pleated dark purple suit as usual, smiling like a flower holding a stack of books, Xia Xing's eyes flashed slightly, and it seemed that he had found it. Xiao Dezi met Xia Xing's gaze and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is all from me and other palace people." ”

Saying that, he put the books in both hands, Xia Xingchu glanced at them, there were about four or five books, Xia Xing smiled with satisfaction: "Bingning, put it away, wait for me to be bored to pass the time." He also motioned to Lu Wan to reward Xiao Dezi with money, and then got up slowly.

I'm going back to my house to get some sleep, and I'm going back to class this afternoon. Walked to the door and said to Bingning and Lu Wan: "You guys go and get busy, my grandfather wants to sleep for a while, I will go to Mengxue in the afternoon, don't forget to call Princess Ben when the time comes." At the end, he added, "Bring the notebook." ”

In the Imperial Garden, Concubine Xian was worried about Minglan 's body, but she couldn't resist her, so she had to come to visit from time to time and make some food and supplements to condition Minglan 's body. This time I was about to go back and found that there was a lonely shadow on the side of the viewing lake, because it was on the way back to the palace, so Concubine Xian politely said hello, but I didn't expect it to be Xia Han who turned around.

Concubine Xian was surprised: "How could Prince Xia Han be here?" Xia Han smiled lonely: "Just come out for a walk, just stay here for a while." Who are you? Looking at the food box held by the maid behind him, he guessed. Concubine Xian sighed: "It's for Minglan , it's a pity that ......" It's a pity that she didn't eat it.

Xia Han looked at Concubine Xian with bright eyes, and said enviously: "Really? Then it dimmed again: "It's a pity that I don't remember the taste of my mother's food for a long time." Concubine Xian looked at the depressed Xia Han, and was also saddened, thinking that her only daughter was also leaving, I wonder if she can get used to Xiliang's life, will she suffer? I'm afraid that if I get wronged, I will have to endure it by myself, there is no place to complain, and no one is in charge of her.

For a while, the two were actually suffering from the same disease, and Concubine Xian pulled Xia Han to the pavilion and asked, "Has Prince Xia Han ever had lunch?" Xia Han shook his head: "No appetite." "Prince Xia Han, you are not in good health, how can you be hungry? I have some food here, and if I don't give it up, I'll use some of it. ”

Concubine Xian said that she took the food box and placed it on the stone table with the palace maid, but Xia Han refused with a wistful look. Concubine Xian smiled mildly and said, "Eat quickly, if you don't eat it, I'll do it for nothing when it gets cold." Xia Han nodded, picked up the chopsticks and ate them in small bites.

Concubine Xian watched Xia Han finish the soup and asked, "When I came, I saw that you were alone, and you didn't bring palace people." Is something happening? I've been a person for half my life, and I've bluffed through my experience, so why don't you tell me that I might be able to help you? Concubine Xian thought at this time that if I could get useful news from Prince Beiyan, would Minglan not have to go to Xiliang, so she smiled more and more amiably.

Xia Han shook his head: "Actually, it's nothing, today is my grandmother's death day." She treats me as if I were her own, and she does her best, but I can't worship it. ”

After sighing with emotion, Xia Han began to talk about his grandmother: "She has worked hard all her life, her husband went early, and she pulled two children alone. One was a boy as old as me, and one day she came home a little late, and the boy went out to look for her, and was taken away by a wolf. Only the mother and daughter were left to rely on each other, but they didn't expect that when the daughter was about to get married, the man came to withdraw from the marriage, saying that he and another girl had a husband and wife and was responsible, and finally ...... She didn't feel at ease at all. ”

Concubine Xian's words were completely unlistenable, and she forgot the original intention of inquiring about Beiyan's news, and now her mind is full of 'The man quits his family, and he has a husband and wife with another girl, so he must be responsible'. She seemed to see hope again, there was a window that was always next to the door, why didn't she think of it.

Alas, if you really care, you will be chaotic, and if you care, you will be chaotic, and if you can't do it, this palace has to plan carefully. Concubine Xian patted Xia Han on the shoulder comfortingly: "It's really pitiful, but I believe that she will be reincarnated into a good family in the next life." I suddenly remembered that there was still something to deal with in the palace, so I left first, Prince Xia Han, you should go back quickly, don't get heat stroke outside on a hot day. ”
