On the 13th of February, it rained heavily in Beijing, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the heavens and the earth were immersed in an oppressive atmosphere.

This is not the first rain since early spring, but it is not as lingering as the spring rains, which fall from midnight to dawn. The rain was pouring down. There is no one on the street, the bluestone road is washed by the rain, and the lanterns under the platform on the third and second floors are shining faintly, and a horse-drawn carriage appears, and it enters Beijing in the rain at this time.

The carriage galloped past, and the fat man in front rode on a black horse, leaning slightly to avoid the shower, and the sturdy horse swept through the rain-soaked road. The waves of the bowl-sized horse's hooves were instantly smoothed by the heavy rain, and they flowed in a hurry, leaving no trace.

Zhao Xian had a cold last night, and his eyes still had two dark circles, he wanted to take leave and didn't want to go to the palace on an errand, but Mrs. An had no news so far, he couldn't sleep at all, as soon as the city gate opened, he went to Anfu in the west of the city to see if she went back.

The street was mismanned, only a few scholars stood on the top of the pavilion, committing the crime and posing a picture scroll to make the smoke and rain, and the merchant brought a small stool to sit at the entrance of the street store, watching the pouring rain.

When passing by the Siyi Pavilion, Zhao Xian lifted the curtain of the car and saw several Goryeo envoys sitting under the canopy of the stalls outside the Siyi Pavilion, eating chaos with Prince Takeda of Dongying, as if discussing things.

Zhao Xian was quite stunned when he saw this scene, he just asked the envoys of Dongying not to go out and run around and harm people, nor did he say that they were not allowed to go to the restaurant, and the envoys of the two countries had to hide in the chaos stall to talk about things, and it didn't seem that the big beams were not considerate.

Although he is extremely disgusted with Dongying's rude demands, a big country must have the bearing of a big country, and it is not the work of a big man to deliberately make it difficult to regain his dignity in these small things. Zhao Xian stopped the carriage and beckoned to the few dedicated forbidden soldiers: "It's raining so heavily, you should also find a place to take shelter, and you won't be afraid of gonorrhea." ”

These forbidden soldiers have been on errands in Beijing all the year round, and the carriages of all the adults know each other, and they were startled when they saw the frame of Zhenguo Gong, and hurriedly ran over to worship them, and said respectfully: "See Commander Zhao for his humble position..."

"Don't kneel me, I don't have this hobby." Zhao Xian hurriedly stopped a few of them, he didn't like big men kneeling down, looked at those people and taught: "Men have gold under their knees, they have to be a little backbone, as the saying goes, kneel to the sky and kneel to their parents, kneel to their parents at home, and kneel to their friends when they go out... Hey? Wrong wrong. ”

Zhao Xian didn't sleep at all last night, his mind was full of mush, and when he saw the appearance of those forbidden soldiers holding back a smile, he could only wave his hand and said: "Forget it, that's it, if there are envoys from the two countries who want to go out to eat in the future, don't stop them, just guard carefully and don't let them cause trouble." ”

The little school headed by Zhao Xian was sent by Zhao Xian, and he had already recognized Zhao Xian, knowing that he was easy-going and informal, so he didn't kneel down again, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Lord Zhao, it's not that I want to stop them, it's just that they were scared by your words yesterday, and after they came back, they stayed in the Siyi Pavilion in a regular manner and didn't go out for a step. ”

Am I that scary? Zhao Xian was quite surprised, he didn't expect this group of envoys to be so obedient, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved.

Dongying has such an excessive request, and I'm afraid that Daliang won't agree, as long as he doesn't give them the area around Songjiang Mansion, what's the point of staying in Siyi for a few days?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xian felt a little angry in his heart, and he didn't bother to deal with these envoys, and after instructing the forbidden army to keep an eye on it, he left the Siyi Pavilion.

The carriage was speeding on the street in the pouring rain, although it was early spring, it was still so cold that people's teeth were fighting, Zhao Xian shrugged his nose with a cup of ginger soup, and his whole body was uncomfortably tight.

Before he could travel far, Zhao Xian suddenly heard a shouting sound from the front, and Side said angrily outside: "You woman, you stopped the carriage in the morning, do you want to be hit and then rely on my young master?" My young master Yushu is in the wind, wise and martial, how could he fall for such a little trick as you, but my four virtues don't like this trick, and I am also known as ...... for many years."

Someone stopped my carriage? Zhao Xian was quite surprised, poked his head out to take a look, but saw a woman dressed as a maid on the street, holding an umbrella and standing next to Side riding a big black horse to speak, and after seeing him, he was overjoyed, hurriedly ran over, and said: "The little maid has seen Zhao Xiangongzi." ”

Zhao Xian thought for a while and recognized that this was Ye Sha's maid Qiao'er, and said with a smile: "Miss Qiao'er, you stopped my carriage early in the morning, don't you really want to rely on me?" I'm a person who doesn't eat hard and soft, but I like this tone very much, you're very smart. ”

"Father, Childe laughed." Qiao'er was taken aback, glanced at Zhao Xian shyly, lowered her head and didn't dare to say more, and said directly: "The little maid is here to invite the son to the fairy as a guest, and my young lady wants to set up a banquet, and I want to invite you to go and discuss the poems, books, piano and music together......"

Discussing poetry, books, piano and music? Zhao Xian frowned slightly, he didn't have time to accompany the little girl to chant poetry, waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time in the next few days, Miss Qiao'er, please go back." ”

"No! You have to go. Qiao'er heard Zhao Xian's shirk, and her face showed a touch of anxiety, as if there was something unspeakable.

She stomped her feet lightly in the rain, looked up at Zhao Xian, and begged: "Miss let you have to go, she is waiting for you in Xianwei, if you don't want to go, Miss will ask you to return her jade pendant, from now on..."

Hypocrisy, huh? Sister Zhao Xianliu's safety was disturbed, and now he was coerced like this, he was really a little angry, he took the jade pendant off his waist and threw it to Qiao'er: "I know that your young lady is a princess, she is the princess of Daliang, you should know the current situation of Daliang, Dongying is aggressive and wants Daliang to cede the land around Songjiang Mansion, and the emperor is not in good health and cannot handle political affairs, and the court is now in a mess, is she still in the mood to go to the fairy to make those poems of love and love?" Your young lady has helped me, this kindness Zhao remembers, but I can't pay it back now, please go back. ”

The chubby Side also felt that the princess was a little ignorant, even if it was a princess, she was not qualified to call the grandson of Zhenguo Gong, and Zhao Xian had just taken over the affairs of the An family now, and he couldn't sleep well when he was busy, so he had the kung fu to accompany you to a princess to fall in love.

Seeing that Zhao Xian lowered the curtain, Side drove the carriage forward, and said to Qiao'er at the same time: "Go back, girl, my young master is not only a palace guard now, I'm afraid I won't be able to obey orders with Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Although Side said respectfully, the implication was to remind Qiao'er that Zhao Xian was just a palace guard before, and he might want to accommodate Her Royal Highness the princess, but now his identity is different, even if the queen can be treated politely, it depends on the face of a princess.

When Zhao Xian heard this in the car, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he was bored and didn't want to continue to delay time, so after hesitating for a moment, he closed his eyes and fell silent.

The carriage galloped away, Qiao'er chased a few steps, and even threw the umbrella aside in a hurry: "It's not what you think, my princess didn't threaten you with this matter, she was serious..."

The wind and rain are continuous, how far can a few calls be heard on the empty street? Qiao'er pinched the jade pendant in her hand, looked at the carriage that did not stop at all, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes: "Okay, you Zhao Xian, in the past, when you were clothed, Her Royal Highness the princess treated you well, and tried her best to help you never asked, now you have become the descendant of the prince of Zhenguo, and want to ask you for help, you began to kick your nose and face, and you didn't even want to see the previous one, you... You ruthless man. ”

Qiao'er was anxious, stomped her little feet on the spot, then turned back into her carriage and hurried to the immortal guest.
