Yang Lihua came out of the side door, looked around, and walked towards another boulevard, Yang Yuanqing didn't go far, he kept waiting for her, and when she was a little far away from the side door, he immediately quickened his pace and caught up

"Your Highness the Princess!"

Yang Lihua glanced back at him and said lightly: "The birthday banquet has begun, aren't you going yet?" [Search for the latest update.81zw]

Yang Yuanqing knelt down on one knee and said with gratitude from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, for saving me!" ”

Yang Lihua stared at him for a moment, then turned around and continued to walk forward, the two palace maids were holding lanterns in front of them, walking more than a dozen steps, only to hear her soft voice coming, "You come with me!" ”

On the dense shade of the trees, two orange lanterns emitted orange light, intertwined with Yang Lihua, her white dress is like snow, her steps are light, like a fairy in the night forest, the surrounding forest is quiet, every tree seems to have life, saluting the princess of the elves.

They walked slowly, which made Yang Yuanqing feel like a dream, giving birth to an unreal feeling.

Walking into a courtyard, a light suddenly lit up in front of Yang Yuanqing's eyes, making him return to the world again, in front of him was a red three-story octagonal building, with lanterns hanging on the cornices, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day, this is Yang Lihua's temporary residence, it can be seen that she doesn't like it very much, otherwise she will order someone to take off the lanterns on the eaves.

There were eight palace maids standing at the door, and when they saw the master coming back, they bowed down together, and one of them was the head of the palace maid and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, just now the feud has come, saying that the birthday banquet has begun, please go over as soon as possible." ”

The person who sealed the house is Feng Deyi, who is the person of the inner history house, he can speak well, and serves as the master of ceremonies of the main hall today, Yang Lihua nodded, "I know!" ”

She took Yang Yuanqing directly to the second floor and went back to the guest room, Yang Lihua looked back and smiled: "Please sit down first!" I'm going to change my clothes. ”

The room is very simply furnished, against the wall is a screen, on each side of the screen is placed a good high-necked porcelain, a few freehand landscapes are hung on the snow-white wall, in addition, there are two wooden couches on the ground, a palace maid brought tea in, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly sat down, nodded and thanked him.

After waiting for a while, Yang Lihua turned out from behind the screen with two henchmen and palace maids, she had changed into a light green dress, which showed that she was beautiful and unstained, so that Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but secretly applaud, the woman he saw was elegant in temperament, and no one could compare with Princess Leping.

"Let General Yang wait for a long time!"

In front of Empress Xiao just now, she called Yang Yuanqing Yuanqing, and now called him General Yang, which made Yang Yuanqing a little unaccustomed to it, he bowed and smiled: "Your Royal Highness the princess might as well call me Yuanqing, so that I feel more cordial." ”

Yang Lihua smiled faintly, but did not respond to his words, she pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked him: "Do you regret what happened just now?" ”

Yang Yuanqing knew that she was referring to Empress Xiao, he scratched his head, smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I regret it a little." ”

Yang Lihua stretched out her slender and white jade fingers, picked up the teacup, blew the tea pieces fluttering in the blue water, her red lips gently sipped on the edge of the teacup, and her eyelids did not raise and asked unhurriedly, "Why?" ”

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what I did just now was to stand myself under a dangerous wall."

"You're right, offending the queen is not a fun thing, although Xiao Niangniang is a good person and won't kill people easily, but your career is a little difficult."

Yang Lihua's long eyelashes were slightly raised, a pair of slender phoenix eyes stared at Yang Yuanqing, and slowly asked, "Will you apologize to her?" ”

"Didn't I apologize to her just now?" Yang Yuanqing's eyes showed a mischievous smile.

Yang Lihua couldn't help laughing, but her smile only disappeared in an instant, and she still said in a light tone: "I mean, if you go back in time, if you can face the scene before I come again, will you apologize?" ”

Yang Yuanqing lowered his head and pondered for a long time, he shook his head slightly, "No! I don't think so. ”

"Why?"

Yang Lihua's light eyes suddenly became a little sharp, staring at Yang Yuanqing's expression, "Didn't you just say that regret shouldn't have been under the dangerous wall?" ”

"I regret it a little, but if I had to choose again, I don't think I would bow my head and never apologize."

"You're really a little stupid!"

Yang Lihua sighed, "Why bother? It is very unwise to offend the queen for a sword and bury your career, I have never seen a stupid person like you, who doesn't know how to be an official at all. ”

Yang Yuanqing raised his head and looked at Yang Lihua, his gaze became extremely resolute, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I, Yang Yuanqing, am a bull temper, at that moment I have decided to resign and not do it, for a lowly official, let me Yuanqing bow his head and confess his guilt, it is absolutely impossible!" ”

Yang Lihua finally showed a bright smile on her face, the smile was so sincere, so full of praise, she gave a thumbs up, "Yuanqing, you really didn't disappoint me, don't bend your waist for the powerful, dare to do it, act recklessly, what a big husband!" ”

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, he didn't expect that Princess Leping was actually testing him just now, he secretly screamed in his heart for luck, and at the same time there was a trace of emotion, how could he not worry about Empress Xiao retaliating against him, at the moment when Yang Lihua saved him, he also thought of using Yang Lihua as a backer.

It's just that Yang Lihua's series of questions just now made him feel a little chill in his heart, and at this moment, when the clouds cleared, he finally had a realization that his backer would not only be his grandfather, Princess Leping would also become his backer, his grandfather's weak body could not support it for a few years, before he grew into a towering tree, he needed a bigger tree to block the storm for him, and Yang Lihua was undoubtedly such a big tree that sheltered him from the wind and rain.

Yang Yuanqing was ecstatic in his heart, he got up again and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Thank you princess for your praise!" ”

"No more politeness, sit down!"

Yang Lihua has a strong and upright personality, hates hypocrisy, and hates men who lose their backbone for fame and fortune the most, and today's Yang Yuanqing's performance in front of Empress Xiao touched her heart and filled her heart with appreciation and love for Yang Yuanqing.

She sighed and said: "It was Zhao'er who told me that you are in danger, originally I just wanted to return you a favor from a golden scale sword, but when I saw that you did not hesitate to fight with the Empress of the Great Sui to the end for another sword, I suddenly realized that your true temperament when you returned my golden scale sword was not to please me, it was really what you said, a sword of power is never as important as family affection, at that moment I was very moved Yuan Qing, you let me see an iron-blooded man who regards fame and fortune as dung and values love and righteousness, this is the best birthday gift I received today." ”

Yang Yuanqing scratched his head and said with a wry smile on his face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't regard fame and fortune as dung, in fact, I also want to be promoted and make a fortune!" ”

Yang Lihua's laughter echoed in the room like a silver bell, which surprised several palace maids next to her, they had served the princess for many years, and they had never seen the princess smile so happily and so freely

"Okay!"

Yang Lihua smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Your promotion and fortune will be wrapped up in me." ”

Yang Yuanqing returned to the main hall, the birthday banquet had already begun, the main hall was brightly lit, hundreds of large candles made of fragrant whale oil illuminated the hall as day, drums burst, pipa sound, more than 100 dancers from the Western Regions danced in the hall.

The guests on both sides of the hall are either talking and laughing loudly, or gathering together to talk and laugh, and the whole hall is laughing and noisy, and it is very lively.

Yang Yuanqing saw that his seat was still empty, and the small table was full of dishes, which could be described as delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the golden dragon and phoenix crabs that Suzhou tributed; the sea insects and mussels that Mingzhou paid tribute to; The deer tongue paid tribute to Liaodong and the secret dish in the palace soft nail snow cage (steamed white eel) and so on, as well as precious melons and fruits from all over the world, Jiaqing plum, Aijia pear, cherries from Xishu, citrus from Jingzhou, peach from the Western Regions, all kinds of dishes and fruits, are rare to see in the workshop.

Yang Yuanqing sat down, he was about to pour himself wine, when he suddenly remembered the words of King Jin, and beckoned to a palace maid who was waiting not far away.

The palace maid stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What does the general need?" ”

Yang Yuanqing pointed to the wine jug, "A moth fell in just now, wash it for me and change it to a new pot of wine." ”

The palace maid nodded, took the wine jug, and after a while, she brought another pot of spare wine over, and said with a smile: "General, please drink this, this has just been taken out of the ice." ”

Yang Yuanqing touched the wine jug, started Bingqin, he liked it in his heart, thanked him again and again, the palace maid pursed her lips and smiled, changed the wine glass for him, poured a glass of wine, put the wine jug aside, and slowly retreated.

Yang Yuanqing tasted the cold and mellow wine, it was the sweetest glass of wine he had ever drunk in his life, at this time, he suddenly saw a little lady running towards him, it was his sister Yang Jianniang, although Jiao Niang was born to Mrs. Zheng, but she was kind-hearted and innocent, and Yang Yuanqing also liked her.

"Jiao Niang, what's the matter?" He smiled and asked,

"Third brother, my mother asked you to come over."

It was Mrs. Zheng who called him, and Yang Yuanqing saw Mrs. Zheng, the mother of the main room sitting in the first row opposite, through the posture of the dancing girl, her eyes were cold and thoughtful.

Yang Yuanqing didn't like it in his heart, so he shook his head and smiled at Jiao Niang: "I just came back from outside, let me eat something first, drink two glasses of wine, and I'll go over by myself later." ”

"Third brother, you just come with me! Come back and eat again. ”

Jiao Niang pulled his wrist and dragged him out coquettishly, Yang Yuanqing was helpless, so he had to get up and knock on her head with a smile, "You little girl, why are you inconsiderate at all, how will you marry in the future?" ”

Jiao Niang grinned, pulled Yuanqing and left, and soon, they walked around from outside the hall, Yang Yuanqing walked up to Mrs. Zheng, "Mother, is there anything looking for me?" ”

Yang Yuanqing's attitude was very polite, and several officials and wives next to him were looking at him, he tried his best to restrain the boredom in his heart and give Mrs. Zheng a little face.

Mrs. Zheng glanced to both sides and pointed to the vacant seat next to her, "You sit down, I have something to say to you." ”

Mrs. Zheng had just returned from Empress Xiao, although Empress Xiao was very polite to her and said it lightly, but Mrs. Zheng still felt the dissatisfaction in Empress Xiao's heart, and asked her to control Yuanqing well, and Mrs. Zheng later quietly asked a eunuch, only to know that Yuanqing actually contradicted Empress Xiao, which made Empress Xiao furious, and Yang Yuanqing was almost killed.

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but be shocked and angry, she could ignore Yang Yuanqing, but Yang Yuanqing offended Queen Xiao, which undoubtedly hurt the interests of the Yang family and her two sons.

"Why did you offend the queen just now?" Mrs. Zheng wanted to save face, so she didn't dare to reprimand loudly, so she gritted her teeth in a low voice.

Yang Yuanqing said for a while: "This matter has nothing to do with my mother, so don't ask." ”

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me?"

Mrs. Zheng was even more angry, "Empress Xiao called me just now, tell me quickly, what did you do?" ”

As soon as Mrs. Zheng was angry, her eyebrows would be raised, and with her high cheekbones and thin lips, her mean appearance was even more revealed, Yang Yuanqing was extremely annoyed in his heart, he stood up and said, "Madame, if there is nothing else, I will go back." ”

"Stop!"

Mrs. Zheng snorted, "You go with me to apologize to the queen now!" ”

Yang Yuanqing's face sank, he ignored Mrs. Zheng, turned around and walked away quickly, several officials and wives next to him found the abnormality, and they all looked at Mrs. Zheng and whispered, Mrs. Zheng's face was pale, and she couldn't even hide the fat powder on her face.

At this time, Zheng Shanyuan's wife Cai quietly sat down next to Mrs. Zheng, "What happened to Yuanqing?" For you to rebuke him like that. ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't know anything."

Mrs. Zheng gritted her teeth and said, "That brute has caused me a big disaster!" ”
