Xiao Wei's hand holding the collar of the fifth prince was very strong, and the aura on his body was also awe-inspiring, but it was only for a moment, and before everyone could see it clearly, he returned to his usual attitude with some cynicism.

The fifth prince looked at Xiao Wei with a mocking expression, "Xiao Wei, if you don't do it, you will ......be deflated."

He is a prince, even if Xiao Wei is favored again, he is also a courtier, he dares to move himself, that is, he will commit the following crimes, and he will not be wronged if he is thrown into prison.

Without waiting for Xiao Wei to make a move, a sharp voice suddenly came from the palace road.

"The emperor has arrived."

"The concubine has arrived."

Everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

A bright yellow figure suddenly appeared, and the emperor was dressed in a bright yellow regular suit, coming slowly.

Concubine Yu walked beside the emperor, the hands of the two were leaning together, although the sleeves were big, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor came with her hand.

Behind the two of them, as always, with decent smiles, stood there gently like shadows. By her side are Princess Anping and Princess Junping.

Princess Chunping saw Xu Han in a princely dress, and her eyes were crooked.

Xiao Wei just grabbed the collar of the fifth prince, and because the arrow wound was not yet healed, his movements were a little slow.

The others had already bowed down, but he was still slowly picking up his robe.

"Okay, today is Chunping's birthday banquet, focusing on Chunping, and your body is not well, so it's free."

Before Xiao Xiao could bow down, he was supported by the emperor, and turned his head to look at Concubine Yu, "This kid, his face is white like this, you can take a look at it in the private warehouse, pick some good medicinal materials and send them to the eldest sister to make up for him." ”

Concubine Yu said with a smile, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, Zheng'er, and I haven't thanked Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Wei wanted to thank him again, but was stopped by the emperor, "You take good care of your body, don't mess around like before, let your aunt worry, it's better than anything else." ”

Xiao Wei lowered his head, "Yes." ”

"What happened to you just now? How do you get screwed up with Xiao Wu? The emperor asked again.

Xu Han had already picked up the box that had just fallen on the ground, and before he had time to look at it, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Wei when he heard the emperor's question.

Actually, she was reluctant to have a conflict with the five princes at this time.

No matter how favored Xiao Wei is, the imperial power is supreme, and the five princes are the princes in the end.

She thinks so, but some people don't.

Xiao Wei straightened his robe, bowed slightly,

"Your Highness the Fifth Highness is in good spirits on a happy occasion today, and his feet are floating, so he didn't look at the road and almost knocked me to the ground."

He said with some grievances,

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that because you value me a little, it makes His Royal Highness the Fifth very unhappy, and he wants to hit me when he knows that the minister is injured and has not yet recovered."

"Fortunately, the little prince of Zhenbei supported me, otherwise it would be ......"

He looked at the long steps in front of the main hall, rolling down like this, even a person with good body and bones would inevitably break his muscles and bones, let alone a person with a weak body like him.

The emperor's face changed, it was very ugly,

"Xiao Wu, you are also brothers who grew up together, why are you so narrow-minded, have a good birthday banquet, who do you want to sweep? Is there any more in my eyes? ”

The fifth prince opened his mouth to defend himself, "Father ......"

"Shut up!" It's a pity that he was interrupted by the emperor, and he shouted, "Look at you, how old you are, your third brother has already helped me run errands when you are so old." ”

The fifth prince cried with a sad face, and he knew that this was the case.

Father's heart is really boundless, obviously he didn't do anything, but he didn't listen to him at all, like this from childhood to adulthood.

After scolding the five princes, the emperor looked at Xiao Wei again, and said with pity,

"Do you want to call the Imperial Doctor to come and show you?"

Concubine Yu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, today is a good day for Chunping, so don't call the imperial doctor to come over and disturb everyone's interest." ”

"The spring is cold, don't let everyone follow the cold wind in front of the hall."

The emperor nodded, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and let him say anything at any time if he was unwell, and then took Yu Guifei into the main hall first, sitting in the top seat, and Yu Guifei's position was next to his position.

Xiao Lili bowed his body for several weeks, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

Then he glanced at the five princes with arrogant eyes, snorted, and summoned a little eunuch on the side, asking him to help him in.

The five princes were half dead, but they were helpless.

If he wants to do something at this time, his father will definitely be angry, it's really shameless, he is so old, and he loves to sue as much as he did when he was a child.

Princess Chunping saw that the emperor had entered, walked to Xu Han's side, and smiled brightly, "Thank you little prince for appreciating the light, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

After all, the relationship between Princess Anping and the little prince is not very good, and she is afraid that the little prince will think that the princess is like Anping, so she will stay away.

Xu Han quietly took a step back to the side, "Why, I want to thank the princess for the invitation." ”

As the only princess in the palace, Princess Chunping is still very favored by the emperor.

"It's windy outside, little prince, let's go in quickly."

Princess Junpei seems to be in a good mood.

Xu Han arched his hand, "Princess, please." ”

Princess Chunping did not refuse, carrying the hem of her skirt, walking slowly, and entering the main hall in small steps.

Xu Han followed him, and the two entered the hall together.

After everyone sat down, the emperor smelled, "Junping, today is your birthday, what do you want?" Tell my father. ”

Chunping thought about it, shook his head, pursed his lips and smiled at the emperor, "Chunping doesn't want anything, I just want my father to be healthy and healthy, and Concubine Hui will live a long life, which is better than any gift." ”

Princess Chunping's mother died shortly after giving birth to her, because she was the same age as Anping, so the emperor took Chunping to Concubine Hui's palace and let her raise her together.

Princess Chunping's ingenious words made the emperor laugh, and with a wave of her long sleeves, she called someone to reward her heavily.

Concubine Yu also had a heavy gift, and sent someone directly to the flat dormitory.

From the crown prince all the way down, all the princes did not dare to lag behind, and offered various gifts one after another.

Princess Chunping took it with a smile one by one, and thanked everyone again.

Other young masters who entered the palace and feasted, noble ladies naturally had all kinds of rare treasures, or calligraphy, paintings, embroideries and the like made with heart.

Everyone gave a circle, but Xu Han and Xiao Wei were left without gifts.

Although Xu Han's box was picked up, she didn't need to open it to know that the contents were broken.

If she dares to send things out, probably tomorrow the emperor's reprimand will come down.

It doesn't matter if something is broken by accident or not, but on a day like today, something shatters, that's a bad sign.

The fifth prince had just been reprimanded, and his heart had not calmed down, and when he saw this, he smiled proudly at Xiao Xiao,

"If there is any treasure in the prince of Chengen, hurry up and offer it, don't hide it, and let me wait for it to see."

"What I want to give to the prince and the world, ordinary gift boxes can't fit it." Xu Han's clear voice sounded.

The emperor has been paying close attention to Xu Han since the Seven Star Tower, so he looked at Xu Han with burning eyes,

"I wonder what my great talent is going to give to my beloved little princess?"

Xu Han raised his chest and said confidently,

"The minister and the prince want to send a fairy on the bright moon to the princess."

This time it exploded, and the hall that was still quiet suddenly became noisy, and everyone turned their heads and ears, some sarcastic and some watching.

Princess Chunping is not a man, what's the use of giving her a woman?

Let the fairy steal the limelight from herself?

It's just that Xu Han's expression was too serious, and it unconsciously made people believe that she and Xiao Wei were indeed going to send a fairy to Princess Chunping.

Princess Junping was curious and asked, "Where is the fairy on the bright moon?" ”

"The fairy is in the cup in front of the princess, princess, please look." Xu Han raised his hand elegantly and asked Princess Chunping to lean over to the cup to take a look.

Princess Chunping faced forward as she said, the quilt in front of her was just poured wine, crystal clear, and there were no fairies.

However, she took a closer look and suddenly giggled.

Her somewhat blurred face was reflected in the cup......

Xu Han said she was a fairy......

She raised her head and looked at Xu Han with a smile, "Then where is Mingyue?" ”

Xu Han continued to talk nonsense in a serious manner, "Please raise a glass to the princess." ”

Princess Junping raised her glass as she said, turned it carefully, and giggled again.

In the cup, there is a disc of light and shadow, and there is her face on it, so this is the fairy on the bright moon.

Concubine Yu applauded, and a soft laugh sounded, "Your Majesty, Chunping is not only your beloved little princess, but also your little fairy, little padded jacket." ”

"The little prince of Zhenbei is really not wrong at all."

The emperor had already realized Xu Han's serious nonsense, and praised with a smile,

"What a gift from you two. In the future, the little prince of Zhenbei will walk beside me. ”

Everyone was stunned......

It's so shameless, these two people are clearly white wolves with empty gloves!

Nothing was done, but the reflection was continued, first the face of the princess was printed, and then the halo refracted by the glazed tiles hanging on the beam was reflected in the wine glass, and she became the princess on the bright moon.

This is obviously far-fetched, but it also won the favor of Princess Chunping and the praise of the emperor.

There were a hundred protests among them, and they didn't dare to speak out, so they could only watch Xu Han ascend.

Can they say that Princess Junping is not a fairy? Is Xu Han wrong? It was clearly a slap in the face of Princess Chunping, and even the face of the emperor.

Isn't Princess Pure Ping as good as a fairy?

Walking in front of the emperor is not something ordinary people can do!

Xu Han: This is a step to the sky.

Although her own status is not low, since the defeat of the Huo family in the battle of Baidi Valley in Limen Pass, although Xu Jun returned from a great victory, he has not been praised by the emperor.

Zhenbei Wangfu has been worse than a year in recent years.

The emperor promoted Xu Han like this, is it a signal to reuse the Zhenbei Palace?

No matter how much everyone hates itchy, anyway, Xu Han stepped on Qingyun like this.

It was getting late, the atmosphere at the banquet was very good, everyone was staggered, the emperor sat for a while, and then left with Concubine Yu.

The two of them were leaving, and Concubine Hui naturally left with them.

Princess Chunping sent the three of them outside the main hall, and when she went back again to talk to Xu Han, she found that Xu Han's position was empty.

It was only a short period of effort, and the person left.

It's about to go to the clean room, Princess Junping thought.

In fact, Xu Han came out to breathe under the pretext of going to the clean room.

No matter when, such a banquet is something she doesn't like.

She had just received too many jealous eyes in it, and she was afraid of leaving her disgusting, so she not only liked the princess, but also gained an extra identity.

She paced slowly, the main hall for today's banquet is a special place in the palace for large and small banquets, just on the edge of the imperial garden.

There is a big lake on the side of the imperial garden, after repeated repairs, an artificial river has been formed, and then some flowers and plants are planted, willow trees, pavilions and water pavilions, in summer, it is a good place to go.

Probably to celebrate Princess Junping's birthday, the pond water, which was supposed to be dark, was lit with a lot of lanterns, and the water surface was full of water, which was very beautiful.

She stood by the pool, looking at all kinds of lanterns inside, and she just thought it was very funny.

She looked at the lantern inside, looking for her own, but before she could see it clearly, she craned her neck, stepped on a smooth stone, and her feet slipped.

Although she can swim, this is the palace, and when her clothes are soaked, how can she explain it?

It's just that, fortunately, God has eyes, her hand was grabbed violently, and then she fell heavily into the arms of the person behind her.

Xu Han took advantage of the strength of the person behind her to stand firm, and the hand that the person grabbed her withdrew.

She turned her head and wanted to thank the person who helped her, but instead she saw a strange and familiar face.

Xu Xiuyan.

I saw him frown slightly, "Little prince, it's better to be careful." It's black here, but it's black. ”

Xu Xiuyan was also invited to the banquet today, and he had just drunk two glasses, and some of the wine was up, so he came out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, I would see someone standing alone by the river.

The figure by the river made him slightly distracted.

Once, he also saw another person standing like this, standing under the osmanthus tree in his house, wanting to shake the osmanthus down and dry it to make osmanthus cake to eat.

Her tone was joyful, and her face was white.

He stood far away, not daring to come closer, for fear that it was just his own hallucination.

Seeing her slip under her feet, he hurriedly leaned over and pulled her back.

Xu Han didn't expect that the person who saved her turned out to be Xu Xiuyan, and she came back to her senses in a trance and saluted.

"Thank you...... Xu Hanlin came to help. ”

After Xu Xiuyan was hit by Tanhua, he went directly to the Hanlin Academy to do Hanlin.

Maybe one day, maybe one day he will succeed Xu Ge Lao into the cabinet.

None of this has anything to do with her, though.

Xu Xiuyan's expression was faint, and he said, "Why is the little prince so fascinated?" ”

It was rare for Xu Xiuyan to ask again.

Xu Han looked at him and said softly,

"Looking at the beauty under the lamp, I am naturally fascinated."

Xu Xiuyan was stunned, and when he looked up, he was standing under a red lantern......

Xu Han laughed and pointed to the pictures of beauties painted on the lanterns in the pool.

"Xu Hanlin is outstandingly educated, but he is also narcissistic enough."

Xu Xiuyan's face returned to coldness, and he didn't think it was funny.

In the past, there was also a person who often said something that was not very funny like this, and asked him if he was funny.

Xu Xiuyan sighed in his heart, and sure enough, he drank more, and he actually recalled it from irrelevant people.

He turned around coldly, and a figure in front of him walked slowly over, saw Xu Han, and beckoned,

"Little Prince......"

It was Xiao Wei who walked over under Bai Zhuo's escort.

If it's just Xiao Xiao, he is still followed by Princess Anping.

I saw Princess Anping running over quickly with her skirt and stopping Xiao Wei,

"Ah Wei, your body has not healed, where are you going, or it is better to enter the temple."

Xiao Wei didn't look at Princess Anping, and walked around her.

Princess Anping was not discouraged, she caught up again, and looked at Xiao Wei cautiously,

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to say it. I'll walk with you. ”

Xiao Wei said impatiently, "Please respect yourself, princess." ”

An Ping stomped his feet, "Why don't I have self-respect, I'm worried about you." ”

Xiao Wei was unmoved, "I said, what do you like about me?" I'll just change it. ”

"And, let me tell you, I already have a sweetheart."

Princess Anping's face changed, "It's that slut...... No, which lady is it? ”

"Why didn't I know you had a sweetheart?"

Xiao Wei didn't pay attention to Princess Anping's steps at all, but continued to move in the direction of Xu Han.

Princess Anping stopped in front of him and didn't let him go, and at the same time sneered,

"You shouldn't say that your sweetheart is that man, right? She's dead and her bones are rotten, and you still care about her? ”

Xiao Wei's originally indifferent face showed a touch of hideousness, "Eleven Niang is much better than a so-called lady like you, she is a man's wife, so you don't even deserve to lift her shoes." ”

This is the most devastating word that Princess Anping has ever heard, her face is distorted, and she always stands in front of Xiao Wei,

"I'm a royal princess, she's just a stinky girl who dances with knives and swords, what does she compare to me?"

"I don't care, today's Chunping's birthday, my father is very happy, and I will wait to ask for marriage."

"When the time comes, when your father gives you a marriage, do you dare to disobey the emperor?"

Xiao Xiao didn't change anything because of Princess Anping's words.

He didn't even look at Xu Han and said,

"What the princess said is very true, Xiao does not dare to resist the decree, but, first, you have to get such a holy decree for marriage.

Second, my wife's position will not be given to anyone else except my sweetheart, and if the princess is willing to be a concubine, I am willing. ”

Princess Anping's face turned red, for a concubine?

How can she be a princess to be a concubine?

Xu Xiuyan heard the conversation between Xiao Wei and Princess Anping. I saw him come forward,

"Xiao Shizi, you can't talk about it, Eleven Niang is my wife, it's not good for you to covet other people's wives like this."

Xiao Xiao looked at Xu Xiuyan with disdain, "What your wife, don't put gold on your face." What do you want to face your wife? ”

Xu Xiuyan glanced at Princess Anping, and his voice was cold,

"Whether she dies or not, she is Xu's wife."

"I promised her that she would only have one wife in this life, and that she would be in the same grave after death, and that there would be no change."

Xiao Wei grinded his teeth, and without saying a word, he took Xu Han's hand and wanted to leave.

Princess Anping stared at the figures of the two fiercely, trembling with anger, and hated to go up to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But just a few steps, a palace person hurriedly looked for him,

"Lord Shizi, the slave and maid are easy to find, and the concubine will send someone over to pass you over."

Xu Han hurriedly said, "It's getting late, it's time for me to go home, since the concubine passed on you, then let's go our separate ways." ”

She frowned, thinking that Xiao Wei had entered the palace in her carriage, she wrinkled her nose and said,

"I'll wait for you outside the palace and send you home."

Xiao Zhen bowed his head and followed the palace people to Concubine Yu's side.

When I arrived at the palace gate of Concubine Yu, there was a eunuch waiting, "The prince is here, Niangniang has been worried for a long time, and now she is inside." ”

Xiao Wei smiled faintly, "I just went to the Imperial Garden for a walk." ”

Then he followed the eunuch into the hall.

Concubine Yu was sitting on the couch and stretching her neck to look at something, and when she saw Xiao Wei coming in, her beautiful face suddenly bloomed with a compelling brilliance.

It's hard not to feel that kind of joy.

"Recruit ......"

Xiao Wei stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Auntie." ”

Concubine Yu waved her hand, asked him not to be polite, and pulled him to look left and right,

"Where are your injuries, show your aunt, you have lost weight......"

She raised her hand to pull the hem of Xiao Wei's clothes.

Xiao Wei held her hand and said lightly,

"Auntie, the injury is in the abdomen, but I'm so big, it's not good to show my aunt anymore."

probably felt that the tone was too light, so he added, "The injury has scabbed, it's almost fine, aunt doesn't have to worry." ”

The joy on Concubine Yu's face faded, and a light sorrow lingered, but she still said with a smile,

"Yes, Zheng'er is older, taller than my aunt. Don't look, don't look, you're fine. ”

The two were talking, and there were eunuchs singing and harmonizing outside, and the emperor came.

"I knew that if you didn't worry about Zheng'er, I would call him over. It's getting late, your body is not good, and you don't rest early. ”

"Zheng'er, you too, the injury is not healed, and I don't persuade your aunt."

Xiao Wei stood up and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty." ”

The emperor supported Xiao Wei, "I said that there are no monarchs and ministers here, I am your uncle." It's also your uncle......"

"Okay, it's getting late, and Zheng'er is also here, so I'll let the imperial dining room send supper, let's use some together, how about it?"

Concubine Yu leaned on the emperor, nodded with a look of dependence.

Supper was placed on the table, and with a wave of his hand, the emperor sent out all the people waiting in the palace, "You don't need to wait here, let's all go down." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids retreated cleanly, and even the emperor's chief eunuch Cui Hai withdrew.

The room was quiet, only the sound of chewing, and the sound of the emperor persuading the concubine to eat this and that from time to time, or he served vegetables to Xiao Wei and persuaded him to eat.

Every time he clamped, Xiao Wei had to put down the dishes and chopsticks, get up and thank the emperor, although he was stopped by the emperor, he still tossed several times.

Every time, the emperor stopped him and said softly,

"Eat, eat, eat, don't be so polite......"

After a few times, the emperor didn't clip anything to Xiao Wei again, but just took care of Concubine Yu wholeheartedly.

Xiao Zheng buried his head in eating, ignoring the intimate laughter that came from time to time on the other side.

finally waited for the emperor to put down the chopsticks, Xiao Wei hurriedly put them down, and he didn't rest, so he hurriedly left.

Concubine Yu looked at Xiao Wei, her eyes were full of lingering, "Be careful when you go out, you won't ......come often when you go out after your injuries are healed."

She should do whatever Xiao Wei said, and in the end, the emperor interrupted Concubine Yu's words,

"If you want to see him, just call him in and talk to you."

"Besides, what's there to worry about, he lives in the eldest sister's mansion now, but she treats Zheng'er as a heartache."

Concubine Yu also knew, so she could only reluctantly let him go, repeatedly told him to take care of his injuries, and took a lot of good things for Xiao Wei to take back.

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and took the things one by one, and when he walked out of Concubine Yu's palace, he let out a long sigh with a mocking smile on his lips.

The tears under the corners of his eyes reflected the smile, which was extremely charming.

He looked back at the palace gate, and he didn't know what kind of affection, love, and harmony they played in front of him!

He is just an outcast, and if he has been abandoned, why should he come closer?

In Concubine Yu's palace, Concubine Yu's eyes waited until Xiao Wei's figure disappeared before reluctantly retracting it.

The emperor stepped forward and hugged her to the inner room of the main hall, "He is now older, he is a foreign minister, and it is not proper to come to the harem......"

He looked at Concubine Yu's face and said softly, "I know, you can't bear him, and there's no way to do it." ”

Concubine Yu smiled, got up and sat down in front of the dressing table, her voice leisurely,

"Your Majesty, it's because you don't like him to come."

The emperor walked behind her and put his hands on her shoulders,

"Where will it be, you like her so much, for your sake, I have to treat him well, it's just that as soon as he comes, you don't have me in your eyes, which makes me unhappy."

Concubine Yu lowered her eyes, pulled the hairpin on her head, and said in a low voice, "I know." ”

The emperor used the word 'I', and Concubine Yu also used the word 'I'.

The emperor picked up a bunch of her long hair and played with it in his hand, and took her in his arms, "Okay, I know your heart, don't worry, in the front court, I will take a good look at him." ”

"When he's healed, how about letting him go to Jinyiwei?"
