In the small courtyard in the afternoon, the sun is lazy and makes people unable to lift their strength, and the bee butterflies fly by with their wings flapping, lingering on the green wall, for the touch of summer blooming flowers and forget to return for a few degrees. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Occasionally, a bird flew through the sky and streaked a long shadow across the clear sky.

Putting back the gaze that disappeared as the birds disappeared, Xiao Wu, who was leaning on the eaves of the porch, looked at the closed wooden door again, he couldn't remember how many times he looked at the vermilion half-faded wooden door that had been washed by the wind and rain that day, and even found cracks that had not been seen before, as well as a few weeds with extremely tenacious vitality that had been drilled out of the lower corners of the wooden door.

Naturally, there was still no movement at all at the wooden door, and the footsteps that made Xiao Wu Jiang's heart mention a few times before were just merchants walking through the streets.

I don't know when Yusheng will come back.

With a secret sigh in his heart again, Xiao Wu turned his head to look at Tian Xun'er who was sitting on a rattan chair embroidering flowers not far away, the sun had passed for most of the day, but the mandarin duck on the silk cloth was still a lonely poor man.

Obviously, knowing that Liu Xi was coming back, Tian Xun'er's mind was no longer on embroidery, and a pair of delicate and small ears had already been erected high, for fear of missing the sound of the return footsteps that she had been thinking about for a long time.

Tian Xun'er's thoughts, how could Xiao Wu not see that Liu Xi came back, but what they asked for day and night, this time they finally had the backbone, and a hanging heart could be regarded as falling.

The present day, which has been relieved of sorrows through wine, should be able to revive itself.

Just when Xiao Wu was secretly thinking to himself, Xiao Ling'er, who was playing with the clay figure alone in the courtyard, suddenly laughed out of character, and even threw her favorite little clay figure aside, and the whole person jumped up, the bell between her ankles jingled and jingled, and the pink folded skirt that Tian Xun'er carefully sewn for her fluttered in the wind, like a big colorful butterfly jumping over the courtyard wall, startling those bees and butterflies to fly into the sky.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Wu's spirit was suddenly shocked, and Tian Xun'er beside him also threw the silk cloth that was embroidered in his hand into the bamboo basket at his feet, and his eyes were staring at the wooden door tightly.

"Squeak!"

The half-closed wooden door was pushed open, and the two figures also appeared in the long-awaited gaze, seeing the person who was thinking about it, Tian Xun'er couldn't help but redden, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling, and finally with a low cry, the wind rushed towards Liu Xi, who had just stepped into the small courtyard.

Maybe it was because she suddenly saw the horse embroidery that came with Liu Xi, Tian Xun'er suddenly came back to her senses, a slight shyness appeared between her eyebrows and eyes, and she stopped a few steps away from Liu Xi.

But just when Tian Xun'er stopped, an arm grabbed her by the arm, and Tian Xun'er had not come back to her senses, and she had already been embraced by Liu Xi.

"Haha, Yusheng is quite anxious!"

On the side, Ma Xiu shook the Qiankun fan and laughed and walked to Xiao Wu's side, this joking remark made Tian Xun'er's cheeks suddenly seem to touch the carmine powder, and her beautiful eyes were dripping with water, and she secretly glanced at Liu Xi, and found that he was looking at herself, Tian Xun'er was even more shy, so she had to bury her head deeper.

And the initiator of the matter, Liu Xi was inevitably a little more rippling because of Tian Xun'er's appearance, and between the fragrant noses, there was a delicate body like a warm jade that could be touched in his hands, and he sniffed and whispered softly between Tian Xun'er's long black hair, "When the matter is over, ......it is better to do the family affairs earlier."

As soon as these words came out, Tian Xun'er was shy again, and Liu Xi became more and more intoxicated, but the hug between the two also attracted dissatisfaction, and the little Ling'er who was put on the ground by Liu Xi after entering the hospital stretched out her white little hand to pull the corner of Liu Xi's clothes, as if she was being snubbed and her eyes were full of grievances.

After laughing a few times, Liu Xi wanted to free up his hand and hug Xiao Ling'er into his arms, but Tian Xun'er covered her face and ran away, leaving Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu to look at each other and smile.

After the reunion, Tian Xun'er quickly made a few delicacies with the ingredients prepared before, but her cheeks kept hanging with a flush that could not be erased, even Xiao Wu and Ma Xiu, whom she was very familiar with, were quite shy and did not dare to look at them.

After the meal, he naturally wanted to talk about Princess Lan Jin's marriage, Liu Xi said what he thought again, Tian Xun'er sat there quietly, bowing her head, it seemed that as long as Liu Xi said she would support and approve without reservation.

Xiao Wu frowned and said, "Yusheng, at present, it can indeed only be as you said, but if someone from the Liu Han court unexpectedly accepts the death of Princess Lan Jin, and the body is not transported out of the Han Dynasty, but buried by them, what should I do?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi thought about it silently, what Xiao Wu said was not impossible, what Liu Han did was to meddle in Li Tang's state affairs. Emperor Tang is very old, in case he suddenly goes west, and Li Ze is young, at that time, Liu Si will have a legitimate tongue to interfere in the affairs of Li Tang Dynasty, which is much easier than waving his army to conquer one city after another.

From this point of view, even if Li Mengxiao cheats to death, Liu Si, who is a hero, may not retreat from this family business.

The sword eyebrows frowned, Liu Xi's fingers tapped on the table beside him, and the whole room became quite quiet, only the sound of his fingertips tapping on the table echoed intermittently.

After a long time, Liu Xi only sighed and shook his head helplessly, "This kind of thing can only be taken one step at a time, and you and I can't predict how dangerous this trip will be at the moment." ”

Hearing Liu Xi's words, Xiao Wu and Ma Xiu were silent, and this is indeed the case, many times, the current situation is not something that can be controlled by one person.

But fortunately, Liu Xi is back, and no matter what happens, he has a backbone.

That's it, good.

What Xiao Wu thought in his heart, other people didn't know.

After Liu Xi was released from prison, there was neither the court to disturb him, nor the summons of the Tang Emperor, so he lived in a simple place, and never stepped out of the small courtyard, and when he had nothing to do, he read and write, played chess with Ma Xiu and others, and teased Xiao Ling'er.

Finally, a month later, when the sun gradually became scorching, and even the bee butterflies often hid lazily among the green leaves, the will of the palace was transmitted into this deep alley courtyard.

The person who announced the decree, Liu Xi also knew, it was the little eunuch Hai Dafu who lured him out of prison, it seems that this person is Zhang Lishi's confidant, Liu Xi naturally treats each other with a smile and good words, and after greeting for a long time, Nahai Dafu patted his head violently, remembered what he had done, and read out the will of the Tang Emperor quite seriously.

Hai Dafu's words fell, and Liu Xi also understood the time of departure, and two days later, he escorted Princess Lan Jin out of Beijing outside the Xuanwu Gate.

After receiving the order, he kept Hai Dafu for a cup of tea, and finally Liu Xi stuffed him with a sum of silver taels, watching the latter leave happily, Liu Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes, buying the imp can be more beneficial than you can imagine.

Since he knew when to leave, the rest of the time was to pack his bags, but fortunately, Liu Xi and the others didn't bring much clothes, and it was easy to tidy up.

The two days were just birds flying over the branches, and they passed in the blink of an eye, and it was too early to leave, and there were already people from the Ministry of Etiquette outside the small courtyard who came to meet them.

Wearing the five-grade light scarlet court clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time, Liu Xi boarded the carriage of the Ministry of Rites, and temporarily parted ways with Ma Xiu and others, and waited for a meeting outside the city.

The sky was not yet bright, but the streets of Jialing City had already gathered many people, just like the sorrow that had fermented in the city in the past two days, and everyone had a sad voice on their faces.

The news of Li Mengxiao's marriage to Liu Han has long been spread, and one month is enough time for the people to turn their indignation after hearing it at first into helpless sorrow.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the soldiers and armor are all over the long street, the hundred officials stand in order, and the people of the Ministry of Rites are bowing down and waiting, and the scene is very quiet and solemn in the eyes.

Liu Xi, who got out of the carriage, stood at the back of the team very interestingly, the official rank of Wupin, in the eyes of these people, can be described as a humble statement, it is better to hide quietly on the side, so as not to attract criticism.

But today's incident, Liu Xi has already stood at the cusp of the storm, how can he easily escape, and soon the prime minister Du Zheng, who is standing at the head of the hundred officials, walked towards Liu Xi.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xi hurriedly greeted him, bent down and saluted, "The lower officials have seen all of you." ”

At this moment, Du Zheng and the others would not say anything, but after a few words of emotion, they instructed Liu Xi to ensure that Princess Lan Jin was thorough.

Hearing this, how could Liu Xi not dare to agree again and again, just as he was talking, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and then saw a carriage slowly driving out.

The person driving turned out to be Tang Emperor Li Shan, and behind the carriage was a group of 'flying armor' with cold armor, as well as Li Fengge's brothers and sisters with haggard faces.

Emperor Tang appeared in a car, there is no doubt that in this carriage is Li Mengxiao, the princess of Lanjin who is about to leave Beijing, Xun Hong, who has been waiting for a long time, hurriedly led people to greet him, and implemented the etiquette step by step according to the ancestral law.

After some tossing, the tedious ceremony came to an end, and the Tang Emperor summoned Liu Xi to him, as he did a few months ago, his face was still tired, and his body was a little more rickety, as if what had happened these days had bent his spine that had provoked the entire Tang Dynasty.

"Liu Xi, what you promised me, you have to do the Tao......"

For some reason, Liu Xi actually felt that this voice was a little more choked, and when he looked up, there was a faint trace of crystal in the eyes of the man who had always been in the highest position in the Tang Dynasty.

A little stunned in his heart, and a little mixed, Liu Xi looked back at the carriage, and happened to see Li Mengxiao, the princess of Lanjin who raised the curtain.

Under the golden crown of the phoenix robe, the face painted with rouge and gouache was extremely stunning, and the black eyelashes kept blinking, as if they were trying to hold back the tears that were about to be broken.

Turning his head and sighing deeply, Liu Xi could only say the promise he made again, "Weichen should live up to the trust of the saint." ”

After a short time, Xun Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Holy Lord, the auspicious time has come!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Tang couldn't bear to close his eyes, and finally waved his hand, while Zhang Lishi, who was beside him, walked to the front of the ceremonial platform in a few steps and screamed loudly, "The time has come, send Princess Lan Jin off!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the drums played in unison, and all the officials bent down to salute.
