There was a noisy scene outside the palace gate, and the official ladies who did not leave the boudoir in the past were all dressed up very beautifully today. After entering the palace gate, they all walked to the inner hall with the palace people who led them.

Xia Chuxin and Bai Shunyu followed behind Xia Xin, the two were speechless all the way, Bai Shunyu had a consistent cold expression on his face, but there was an abnormal look in his eyes, but Xia Chuxin was disturbed by what happened during the day and didn't notice it at this time.

The people who followed behind him suddenly rushed to Xia Chuxin's side and showed a good-looking smile to the two.

"The county lord is here too?" Xia Chuxin asked Shen Lingyu.

The person who rushed over was Shen Lingyu, the little county lord of Qingzhong Palace, and when he saw Xia Chuxin from afar, he hurriedly chased after him.

"Master, it turns out that you have already come in, and I have been waiting for you at the door for a long time." Shen Lingyu said.

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

Shen Lingyu grabbed Xia Chuxin's arm and said coquettishly: "Naturally, I haven't seen my master for a day, and I miss it very much." ”

"Huh." Xia Chuxin was amused by Shen Lingyu's appearance. "Then master, I'm really pleased, there is an apprentice like the little county lord who knows cold and hot."

"Hehe, that's nature, so master, with me as an apprentice, you'll be all right, don't believe Su Huaixuan's rhetoric." Shen Lingyu did not forget to take the opportunity to slander Su Huai's preaching.

The two gossiped for a long time before Shen Lingyu noticed Bai Shunyu accompanying her, glanced at her, and asked, "Isn't this the Kabuki in your mansion?" Why did you follow into the palace? ”

Xia Chuxin doesn't like to hear the word Kabuki in his heart.,No matter how it sounds, it sounds like an inferior type of work.,In modern times,,Such a posture and such a talent is called a super star, okay?

"This is the little white girl in our house. This is because we have prepared a program in our house. ”

Shen Lingyu was mindless, and said loudly: "Isn't the kabuki in the palace enough? It must be the old lady of your family who wants to be in the limelight again. ”

After all, she still looked like she didn't care and even looked a little disgusted, Xia Chuxin really wanted to give her a thumbs up, thinking that she just dared to secretly complain about the princess of Dingguo in her heart, but she didn't expect this little county lord to take her in her eyes at all, and the exit was an old woman. This Qingzhong Wangfu is really powerful, so he has cultivated such a county lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth.

"I don't know if Princess Huaiyu is okay now, and she will leave Da Chu tomorrow." Xia Chuxin diverted the topic, afraid that Shen Lingyu would continue to be open-mouthed.

As soon as he heard Su Huaiyu, Shen Lingyu immediately showed a resentful expression, and said, "If you want to say that our Emperor Majesty is really ruthless, he is considerate and meticulous to Huaiyu on weekdays, so that one day he will exchange her for benefits." If my father dares to make such an idea, I will burn the palace with a fire, and tell none of them to have a good time. ”

Xia Chuxin was shocked when he heard this, thinking that this girl is really a man.

But think about it again, if Su Huaiyu had the temperament and courage of Shen Lingyu, he would not be at the mercy of others. Therefore, no matter when and where, your own destiny must be fought for by yourself, even if you do not succeed, you do not have to self-exile, but always have such a heart that does not admit defeat and does not bow to adversity.

Yaoguang Hall is built on the water, only a long bridge leads to the hall from the shore, the long bridge is paved by white marble bricks, there are a total of eighty-one piers from south to north, on the piers is eighty-one white marble dragons of different forms, everyone walks towards the bridge with the team, suddenly the water under the bridge floats the fragrance of lotus flowers, there are five small boats on the water on both sides of the jade bridge, there are several women on each boat, the face is covered with light veil, dressed in colorful clothes, these women or play or sing or dance, with the beautiful scenery of this lake is a magnificent scene outside the world.

Entering the main hall, the gauze tent embroidered with gold threads and glass beads hangs down in a staggered manner, and the whole hall is full of brilliance in a piece of pearl light. The elated Emperor Chu and the Empress sat high on the main hall to accept the bows of the officials in front of them, without a trace of the sadness of just losing their concubine, Xia Chuxin stood behind the crowd and observed the people in the hall. But he didn't know that he was also being observed by others.

Temur stood behind a gauze tent, his eyes under the black gold mask were full of coldness, this Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty, it seems to be a grand scene, the people in this hall are all royal nobles, they have a smile on their faces, and their demeanor is humble and polite, it seems to be the most noble and elegant race in the world, but behind that black heart there is the most vicious and insidious trick. It is said that the people outside the fortress are reckless and not smart, and that is because the people inside the gate are too calculating and the city government is too deep. That little woman is no longer the same as she used to be, the closer she gets to those people, the more completely she becomes, the arrogance she reveals from her bones, her heart is heavy, she even looks different from the past. Temur shook his head, a little annoyed in his heart, why did he still pay attention to her, and said that he owed nothing to her.

This appearance was seen by Xia Chuxin again. Xia Chuxin thought that he was just a familiar stranger, but his eyes couldn't help but look for him in the crowd, like the beginning of love in middle school, everyone said that Su Jin was so powerful, but he pretended to be indifferent and secretly looked for him on the basketball court.

"Xinxin, are you here?"

was in the midst of his recollections, but a big face of Helian Mo suddenly appeared in front of him. Xia Chuxin had no choice but to come back to his senses.

"Have you ever bowed to Your Majesty?"

Helian Mo nodded, a little excited, and said in Xia Chuxin's ear: "Your Majesty said that when my eldest brother and Princess Rannu become married, I will return to Beiguan." Xinxin, in a few days I will go to Your Majesty and say that I will take you with me when I return to Beiguan. ”

Xia Chuxin hurriedly stopped: "What are you taking me for?" ”

"Xinxin, I said I would take you to Beiguan."

"I appreciate your kindness, when I have time, I will definitely travel to Beiguan, and then you can greet me well." Going to Beiguan? Xia Chuxin didn't have this plan, and he couldn't even find the east, west, north and south of Dachu, so change places? Forget it.

Helian Mo suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall, and said angrily: "Xinxin, your words don't count, don't you like me anymore?" I thought we had fallen in love for a long time, you say, have you changed your mind? Or, as your eldest brother said, you are going to marry the prince in the capital? Who is it? Could it be Su Huaixuan? ”

Seeing his expression that he was about to cry, Xia Chuxin was a little unbearable, so he coaxed: "No, no, I won't marry Su Huaixuan, you can rest assured." ”

Helian Mo burst into tears when he heard this, and said, "I'll just say, Su Huai Xuanguang has no brains, how can you fall in love with him?" ”

"Ahh

There was a sneezing sound behind the two, turned around, and Su Huaixuan and Su Huaijin came up to them, Su Huaixuan covered his nose and sneezed, and said while fighting: "Who is scolding me behind my back." Sneeze. ”

Seeing the Su family brothers coming, Helian Mo came to Xia Chuxin's side and whispered: "What you said, don't marry Su Huaixuan." ”

Xia Chuxin waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't marry, don't marry, don't marry." But isn't it too early for us to talk about marriage? ”

This sentence happened to enter the ears of the Su brothers, and Su Huaixuan hurriedly asked, "You have all already talked about marriage?" That prince is completely out of play, right? ”

Helian Mo said arrogantly like a slam winner: "Originally, there was nothing wrong with you, I don't know where you came out, and you were coaxed." ”

Su Huaixuan is a cowardly master, as soon as he heard this, he exploded, and said: "Who is foolish, if you want to talk about marriage matters, it must be the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the words of the matchmaker, I am with Xia Chuxin, then call the door to the house, the Great Chu Palace to the Great Chu Princess's Mansion, the Seventh Prince to the second miss, you see, Duodeng is right." I see, while there are many people, I will directly ask my father to give me marriage, and I will marry Xia Chuxin back one day. ”

"Su Huaixuan, are you in love with me? I am the future king of Beiguan, and even His Majesty will give me a little thin face in the future, how can I bear the provocation of a little prince of yours? Helian Mo was anxious in his heart, and he was a little speechless for a while.

Xia Chuxin saw that the Su family brothers' faces changed, and hurriedly said: "Your Beiguan is big, and you just have to go and be the king of cattle and horses with cattle and sheep all over the ground. ”

Su Huaixuan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you just have to go back and be a king of cattle and horses, the continuous grasslands in the east and west of your Beiguan are enough for you to be a king for decades." My little prince can't compare with you. Ha ha. ”

Helian Mo knew that he was a little reckless as soon as he spoke, and knew that Xia Chuxin would no longer be entangled when he broke the siege for himself, his eyes turned to Su Huaijin, and said: "Third Highness, tomorrow you will set off to send Princess Huaiyu to Wusu, I don't know when you will be able to come back?" ”

Su Huaijin's face tightened, his eyes wandered and happened to meet Xia Chuxin, and he took back the words he blurted out, and said: "Xian Guifei died violently, and my father asked me to serve the concubine, so I asked Uncle Qinghe to be tomorrow's send-off envoy." ”

"Huh? Xian Guifei died violently? How could it be a sudden death? Could there be a reason? The last palace banquet was fine, why is it suddenly gone? The Third Highness mourns. Helian Mo recalled the tranquil appearance of Concubine Xian before her death, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I heard that I fell into the lake and drowned, hey, Miss Xia Jiaer, I heard that you were at the scene?" Su Huaixuan said.

Xia Chuxin didn't want to think about it again at this time, but these people couldn't avoid it when they mentioned it, so they replied: "Hmm." ”

Su Huaixuan and Helianmo were still waiting for her to state the matter, but Xia Chuxin sent the two away with a good "um" word. Su Huaixuan was dissatisfied and said, "Well, what? You are at the scene, but tell me why this Xian Guifei fell into the water? ”

Xia Chuxin was helpless, so he had to say perfunctorily: "Maybe it's a mistake." I don't see it either. ”

"Stumbling? How can you stumble? Su Huaixuan's face was full of suspicion.

"Second Miss, is this covering up for me? I won't hide anything from these two brothers. Su Huaijin said suddenly.

Xia Chuxin didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he didn't answer.

However, the two of them were attracted by Su Huaijin's words, and asked in unison, "What is covering?" ”

"The second lady was afraid that I would be criticized by the two of them, so she covered it up for me. Xian Guifei threw herself into the lake and died, not fell into the water and drowned. Su Huaijin said nothing slowly.

The two of them widened their eyes in shock, and asked in unison, "Throw yourself into the lake?" Why throw yourself into the lake? ”

"The prince's brother said that the concubine Xian Guifei committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake because my own son was not close to her, and she couldn't think about it for a while, and she also asked her father for the crime of unfilial piety for me, and served the concubine for three years. I am naturally grateful for the kindness of the prince's brother, but I have some doubts about this matter, although I don't move around much with the concubine, but the concubine often remembers me, just a few days ago I sent someone to send some snacks to my palace, so suddenly into the lake? Su Huaijin said and looked at Xia Chuxin.

Xia Chuxin raised his head and looked at Su Huaijin's insincere face, and suddenly wanted to jump up and tear off his mask, how could he not understand his intentions, Emperor Chu obviously said that it was a secret for the time being, but as soon as he turned around, he informed Helian Mo and Su Huaixuan of this matter, which was nothing more than wanting to condense their strength even more and turn the target to the prince clearly. Su Huaijin, your ambition is about to come out, and your face is about to start to deform, are you really going to go on like this?

"Hmph, commit suicide by throwing yourself into the lake? I think eighty percent of it was the prince's ghost. Su Huaixuan said indignantly.

Su Huaijin hurriedly said: "Seventh brother, don't talk nonsense. Don't we know what the prince's brother is? ”

"It is precisely because he knows that he is a talent, and he is sure that he does it. He must have been afraid that he would have an accident when he went to Wusu to meet King Wusu, so he simply caused an incident and trapped the third brother in the palace, but his methods were too vicious, although the Xian Guifei Niangniang had less contact on weekdays, but she always looked like a kind person, and she was the biological mother of the third brother. Su Huaixuan couldn't help but hold the grievances for Su Huaijin.

"According to what you say, it seems that the prince has taken full precautions. Shouldn't we have fought back appropriately? Helian Mo said suddenly.

Su Huaijin said: "Don't be reckless. This matter has not yet been clarified, in case the innocent is blamed, isn't it our brother's ulterior motives? After Prince Wusu departs tomorrow, we will clear our doubts to our father and see how my father understands this matter. ”

At this moment, the palace supervisor preached: "The night banquet begins, and the hundred officials sit down. ”

Everyone in the hall sat down one after another, the male guest sat on the left, and the female guest sat on the right. In the empty venue in the middle, a few yellow-shirted dancers came, the sound of silk and bamboo rose, and the water-sleeved light shirts jumped to the audience.
