The weather in the Northern Dynasties was warm and cold, but Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Dynasties, ushered in the best time of the year. In early summer, there is no excessive heat, just patches of fresh greenery, which is always refreshing.

Since that day, Gao Cheng, the envoy and general of the Great Wei State to Liang, has been living in the Duting Station and has never gone out. Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang not only did not meet again, but also did not have any verbal information about when to talk about the covenant. There are no unexpected people like Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong County, who came to bother again.

Gao Cheng can really calm down and calm down in the drunken pavilion where he lives. In addition to listening to Kang Naning playing the pipa and watching her dance, the rest of the time is to chat with Chen Yuankang and Cui Jishu. The small talk does not involve political affairs at all, and only makes comments on the different customs of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

Even the deputy envoy Hou Jing lived in the Shengkeyu Pavilion where he lived. Of course, Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, who was responsible for receiving the Wei envoy, had great convenience, and he could almost **** come here.

On this morning, a team of chariots came at the gate of Duting Station. It was a luxurious carriage, not an ox cart. The guards and guards of honor in the car look extraordinary. The general who rode on a horse in front of the carriage led the way, and the one who was in charge of the bush was actually a free-rider who often served the sheep and the birds.

When they arrived at the gate of Duting Station, the sheep and the bird dismounted first. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the pavilion, and in the midst of the slaves and maids, two young scholars got out of the carriage.

In fact, it can only be said that one is a young scholar, and the other is just a little boy who is more than ten years old. Both of them wore white Confucian shirts with wide robes and large sleeves, and wore lotus leaf scarves on their heads. Exactly the same outfit, and they look very similar, so they must be brothers.

This brother and brother entered the gate of the Duting Station as if no one was around, and the guards in the pavilion did not stop them at all. Or that kind of expression is full of awe, and they dare not stop it, but only pray silently. The sheep bird followed behind the two brothers, and he was also very respectful.

The elder brother was obviously very familiar with Duting Yizhong, and walked straight to the drunken Liuyu where Wei envoy Gao Cheng lived without being guided. The younger brother followed him, with a steady gait. Both brothers have delicate and beautiful faces, and their bodies are soaked with bookish air. It's just that the elder brother looks a little willful, and the younger brother looks generous and peaceful. Judging from the backs of the two people, the long pendant of the lotus leaf scarf swayed slightly on their backs, which was really indescribably free and easy.

It is the most luxurious and magnificent pavilion in the Duting Station. There are several tall and unusual Gongsun trees planted in front of the door, and they are about to reach the sky at this time. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were standing under the tree and whispering, and a few cangtou slaves stood farther away. There was a sound of lute music from the closed doors and windows of the drunken stream, and after a while it gradually faded away.

Cui Jishu inadvertently looked up and found these uninvited guests, and was immediately shocked. Dutingyi is also a forbidden garden, and the lord of Lang is also an envoy of Wei, involving diplomatic relations between the two countries, even the identity of Xiao Yu, the king of Hedong County, cannot trespass without permission, let alone anyone.

Chen Yuankang also stared at these people with vigilance.

At this time, the two scholars and the sheep and birds behind them had already approached. Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were even more shocked.

Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang both know the sheep. Yang Yu can bow his head like this, these two scholars must not be ordinary people. The scholar had a faint smile on his face, with a hint of mockery. Cui Jishu looked familiar, and after careful identification, it turned out to be Xiao Qiongju, the princess of Liyang.

Cui Jishu has been following Gao Cheng, and there is nothing he doesn't know about the general. Gao Cheng also accompanied him when he first came to Jiankang, and he was also by his side when Gao Cheng first saw Xiao Qiongju in the Black Dragon Lake Palace. Later, every time they reunited, Cui Jishu was a witness from the sidelines.

But this time I saw Xiao Qiongju, and I actually felt strange. And not just because she wears men's clothes. Last time in Yecheng, Princess Liyang also wore men's clothes, but people could see at a glance that it was a delicate woman pretending. This time is different, this scholar's dress is very suitable for her, and she has become a little heroic and decisive as she gets older, unlike the coquettish before.

Yang Yu thought that Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang didn't know the identities of these two people, so he stepped forward and exchanged salutes with the two Wei ministers first, and said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Taisun and Princess have come to visit the general." ”

Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang were even more shocked. It turned out that this ten-year-old boy was actually the eldest son of Taizigang, the grandson Xiao Daqi. It looks the same as his father, and he has the same demeanor as a gentleman, but he is too angry.

Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang hurriedly saluted the grandson and Princess Liyang.

Xiao Daqi is very modest and polite.

Princess Liyang smiled very lightly and asked lightly, "Is the general good?" ”

Cui Jishu knew that she was different from the past, and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your Highness Duolao, the general is very good. ”

Xiao Qiongju glanced at the closed door of the drunken stream, and there was no sound inside. Before Cui Jishu, Yang Yan and others could reflect, she had already stepped away and stepped on the stone steps in front of the building. At this time, it was too late for Cui Jishu to stop him, so he hurried to catch up, and his heart was as anxious as fire.

Chen Yuankang glanced at Xiao Daqi and the sheep bird. Although Xiao Daqi is young, he is very polite, and he already feels that he is trespassing, and it will be even more rude if he does not report it, so he stands still and does not move. The sheep duck hesitated, seeing that the grandson did not move, and he did not move. Chen Yuankang saw that neither of them moved, so he stood still.

"The Prince...... The prince ...... "Cui Jishu followed behind Princess Liyang, and he didn't dare to run past her and run in front of her first, so he could only shout behind her through the door."

There was no answer inside, and Cui Jishu suddenly found that several slaves and maids who were serving with Kang Ji were standing under the porch outside the door, and he didn't know when they came out. He was even more anxious.

Xiao Qiongju heard Cui Jishu shouting so loudly, and she was sure that Gao Cheng was inside, and suddenly her heart trembled, it turned out that she still missed him. should be counted as if he failed her, no matter how much she hated him, she still missed him. But Cui Jishu's behavior made her even more suspicious. She neither stopped nor stopped him, but simply quickened her pace, walked to the door, and did it herself, pushing the door open, and the scene inside was clearly seen at once.

Kang Naning played the pipa for a while, but Gao Cheng was tired of listening to the music of the turtle, and taught her ancient songs. It is said that it is a teaching and a learning, but in fact, when the ears and temples are grinding, it is already intimate. In addition, there is peach wine to help the fun, and it is half pushed. These days, the two of them have been together for a long time, and they are almost like glue.

Kang Naning has long regarded Gao Cheng as his husband and considers him his wife. She didn't ask him if he already had a wife, a chestnut man could have multiple wives, and she didn't care if Gao Cheng had a wife or not, as long as she and them were his wives, she was happy.

Just now, Cui Jishu called out loudly to "Shizi" outside, but Gao Cheng and Kang Naning didn't hear it at all. As soon as the door was pushed open, Xiao Qiongju walked in, and at a glance, he saw a man and a woman sitting on a large bed with a screen for sitting behind the half-hanging gauze tent.

The gauze tent is transparent, and the screen is not covered, so you can see it so clearly. The man was putting his arms around the girl's waist and was leaning down to kiss her. The girl put her hand on his chest to refuse and welcome. Xiao Qiongju had never seen such a scene, so she immediately stopped and turned around. But she had already determined that the man was Gao Cheng. Recognizable at a glance, he was unforgettable in her heart.

Seeing him so close to other girls, Xiao Qiongju was angry and hateful, and so sad that she couldn't help it. But at this moment, I understood best that I thought I hated him to the bone, but it was actually because I loved him to the bone.

The door opened, and the loud noise didn't affect them. Gao Cheng never thought that someone would break in, and thought that Cui Jishu had something to do, so he went his own way as usual, and what else did Cui Jishu have to hide? However, Kang Naning inadvertently glanced at Gao Cheng while responding to him.

This glance frightened her soul, there was a stranger outside the gauze tent, and she could feel the stranger's murderous eyes through the gauze tent.

"Husband!" Kang Naning was so frightened that she threw herself into Gao Cheng's arms and hugged his neck tightly. This open-fire battle made her think of how Li Changyi drove her uncle and her out of the Yecheng wine shop.

The voice of this "husband" was very sharp, Princess Liyang heard it clearly, and her heart hurt like a knife. Once upon a time, she called him the same. But how long ago was that? Far from it as if it had never been real. At that time, she was infatuated, and he was also clear-hearted. It turns out that not everything is enough to be consensual.

couldn't fool herself, she had already seen clearly that the man was Gao Cheng. She shouldn't have seen such a scene. Cui Jishu, who was beside her, coldly ordered, "Cui Shilang, my grandson and I came here on the orders of the crown prince, and we have something to say to the general." After saying that, he didn't stay for a moment and walked out. What he said to Cui Jishu was actually said to Gao Cheng. She is the princess of Liang Kingdom, and she attaches great importance to social welfare, not because she misses him so much that she came for no reason.

Gao Cheng hugged Kang Naning tightly and looked outside, and saw the back of a scholar in white. But he is not familiar with this back at all, and he feels that he is a man with a resolute personality. Hearing the words she instructed Cui Jishu, he could already hear that it was her voice. He is an envoy of Wei, and she is the princess of Liang. She also put aside her family, country and society, treated him sincerely, and promised each other infatuatedly. Xiao Qiongju at that time would always remember in his memory. Now that the two of them have come to this point, they really can't tell what state of mind they are in at this moment.

Cui Jishu closed the door and replied cautiously, "The prince, Her Royal Highness the princess and the princess broke in directly, and the minister really didn't stop them. "He also had mixed feelings.

Kang Naning slowly broke free from Gao Cheng's arms, and she was very smart to find that the atmosphere in the room was heavy all of a sudden. Who was that stranger just now? Who are the princesses they are talking about?

Gao Cheng stood up, "Since the princess and grandson are from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you go to report and let me change my clothes to greet me." "He's become so calm that nothing has happened.

Cui Jishu came out and conveyed Gao Cheng's words, and Princess Liyang was already as pale as usual and said that she had no objections. Taisun Xiao Daqi and Yang Yan are only at her disposal, so naturally there is no objection.

The slaves and maids went in to serve Gao Cheng to change clothes, and Cui Jishu also stood under the Gongsun tree and waited together. So many people, no one spoke. Cui Jishu secretly looked at Princess Liyang a few times, and felt that she was like two people before.

It seems that a long time has passed, because no one has spoken, and the atmosphere is extremely awkward, and I feel difficult for a moment. Finally, in everyone's expectation, the door of Drunken Liuyu opened again, and everyone's eyes lit up, watching Gao Cheng calmly walk out of it.

This time, it's the Lord's convenience. The guests came in casual clothes, and the host greeted them in casual clothes as they liked. Gao Cheng was also wearing a wide-robed shirt with large sleeves, re-combed his hair in a bun, and also wore a lotus leaf scarf, with a long ribbon hanging behind him. The lotus-colored robe he wore and the delicate silk shoes that were slightly exposed were a little more luxurious, but the color was full of warmth and cheerfulness. This kind of dress makes him even more elegant and elegant.

The sheep and birds came up to meet first, and then introduced the grandson Xiao Daqi and Princess Liyang.

Gao Cheng returned the salute, greeted Xiao Daqi with a smile on his face, claimed to be a minister, and reported his official position to meet Xiao Daqi.

Xiao Daqi also returned the salute very humbly, and said with a smile, "The tall general came from afar, and he has been in Jiankang for a few days, can he still take advantage of the pavilion?" If the etiquette is not good, the general will forgive me. ”

A ten-year-old child speaks very loudly and shows his identity. Gao Cheng fell in love with this grandson at a glance, and felt that he really looked like a figure in the Southern Dynasty. also treated him politely, and replied, "I don't dare to ask the grandson, it's very good." He also asked, "Mrs. Lao has been waiting for a long time, and the sins of the lower officials, please come in and sit down and talk." ”

Xiao Daqi was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard his sister Princess Liyang say coldly on the side, "It's good to have a seat outside, why go in?" I heard that General Gao is traveling with his wife, can you please come out and let me wait to see him, so as not to be rude? She didn't look at Gao Cheng after she finished speaking, just turned around and looked around.

Xiao Daqi is still a child after all, and he is mellow-hearted, and said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, general, the weather is clear today, my sister thinks that the breeze is coming under the grandson tree, and we will sit together, which shows that we are happy." ”

Gao Cheng responded with a smile and glanced at Cui Jishu, who went to order the slave maid.

The two of them really looked at each other at this moment. Xiao Qiongju's face was expressionless, and her eyes were slightly cold. Gao Cheng smiled faintly on his lips, looking polite. "Your Highness may have misheard, Xiaguan's wife is in Yecheng, and she will be healthy in the future, if you have a chance in the future, you will definitely visit Your Highness."

Xiao Qiongju turned around when she heard this.

The two men looked at each other. Gao Cheng's gaze was calm and straightforward, and a pair of green eyes were soft and moist focused on Xiao's body. What he said just now seemed to be deliberately explaining what he had just done. Xiao Qiongju finally couldn't stand his gaze all the time on himself, withdrew his eyes, and looked away. "General Gao is an envoy of Wei, specially for the alliance between the two countries, my grandson and I are sincerely afraid, afraid that it will not be treated well, if you ask too much, please forgive the general." It's like an apology, but he unconsciously shows his delicate willfulness.

Gao Cheng saw that she suddenly became angry, and suddenly the dark clouds dispersed, and he also recalled the past in his heart, softened his heart, and said with a smile, "Your Highness is polite." ”

At this time, a feast had been set up under the Gongsun tree for tea, and several people went over to sit down.

Gao Cheng smiled and asked, "I don't know what the prince has to say?" ”

Xiao Daqi glanced at his sister, and Princess Liyang said with a smile, "The family gentleman invited the general to meet at the Black Dragon Lake Palace. ”
