The walls of the Imperial City Palace are red bricks and tiles, and the blue and ink-colored eaves and arches are ingenious, and the forms are very different. The stone grey brick and stone paved palace roads crisscross the palace, connecting the various palaces. Step by step of the palace, staggered and regular, the red lacquer carved palace door is closed, and the people who come in can't help but accept the mind of exploration. The royal family has always been secretive, and there will be no after-dinner conversations.

The Imperial Palace is different from other places, moving to different scenes, pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, corridors, and splendid gardens are all available, magnificent, magnificent, and magnificent. Rough but delicate, graceful and elegant. Hongyu, which is built with the greatest achievements in the world, is naturally extraordinary.

Bai Liruo secretly sighed, such a spirit, it is difficult to find a second one in the world. As soon as the envoys of various countries arrived at the Xuanmen, a eunuch dressed in light blue and carrying a whip walked up and said respectfully: "The envoys came by boat, it is really hard, please go with our family." ”

The envoys of various countries glanced at each other, arched their hands and responded in unison: "Father-in-law is tired to lead the way!" Xue Yi stopped the entourage behind him and followed the mission by himself.

A large group of people and horses were mighty, and the footsteps were of varying degrees of lightness. Looking up again, the big character "Zhaode Palace" of the gold fight is impressively in everyone's eyes. The red carpet dragged from the entrance of the palace stretched through hundreds of steps to the center of the imperial city. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the envoys stepped on the red carpet and successfully entered the Zhaode Palace, but the Son of Heaven in Kyushu had not yet arrived, and the envoys were waiting.

After waiting for a moment, there was no human figure, and there was a stumble below. Before the voices were boiling, another eunuch sang: "The Son of Heaven in Kyushu has arrived!" ”

"Meet the Son of Kyushu!"

The envoys of various countries bowed their hands, and Bai Liruo followed the rhythm closely. There was a slight uproar in the crowd, and everyone looked up at the dragon sitting at the head of the hall. Bai Liruo was curious, raised his eyes slightly and looked at the light, only to see a man in a golden dragon robe slowly walking from behind the curtain, walking to the highest and most central position of the main hall and gently brushing his hands: "Envoys are exempt!" ”

Bai Liruo's gaze slowly moved from bottom to top to the person's face, just a glance, and he was stunned!

The person sitting in the middle position turned out to be Xuan Ze!

No, no, he's not Xuanze, he's the son of Kyushu - Zhaoxun! She should have thought about it a long time ago, but she thought too much and thought about it. The most unlikely has become the most unpredictable. What a joke!

Bai Liruo stumbled, but was held steady by Liyue. She took advantage of the situation to calm down, straightened up, and then glared at Zhao Xun with hateful eyes.

Zhao Xun seemed to feel the light in Bai Liruo's eyes, and he glanced at her quietly, the white and gray outfit not only set off her heroic posture, but also charming and charming. The high combed hair is neat and neat, a handful of black hair is neatly ironed and spread on the back, the strands of hair on the forehead hang down to the pinna, and the face is calm and cold.

In the flash of light, the eyes of the two met. Zhao Xun hurriedly avoided daring to look at her, and instead he spoke leisurely: "The envoys are tired of carriages and horses, and it is very hard to travel thousands of miles!" I have prepared a thin wine dish, please move to the Four Seas Pavilion! ”

After finishing the words, Zhao Xun took the lead and walked in the front surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and the ministers silently followed the steps of the Son of Heaven.

Sihai Pavilion is relatively remote, and the scenery is not inferior to any other place in the city.

The long covered bridge, like the remnant rainbow across the two ends of the clear stream, the jade flower wall on both sides of the bridge body, the green branches and green vines are like green snakes entangled; Under the bridge, the aquatic plants ripple with the waves, and flocks of colorful koi fish frolic in it; The soft willows with yellow and green eyebrows stretched out on both sides of the bridge are bathed in the breeze and dance, and the low-hanging branches are self-pitying in the water. Across the long bridge, a cobblestone path leads to the depths, where bamboo forms a natural barrier that wraps the corner.

The cobblestone path does not see sunlight all year round, and the ground is moist and sticky, and the moss makes it even more slippery. The envoys held their breath and condensed, cautiously steady, and walked a distance before reaching the outside of the Four Seas Pavilion.

The Four Seas Pavilion is called the Pavilion and is roughly estimated to be able to accommodate hundreds of people. The interior of the pavilion is elegantly decorated, the color is mainly bright yellow, and the floor is paved with dark red peony brocade, which echoes with the golden splendor of the house, highlighting the royal king's demeanor. The four corners are each placed in the bucket square potted copper tripod, the flowers are in full bloom, and the fragrance is lingering.

In the middle of the door is facing the dragon chair, Zhao Xun is sitting on the front of the clothes, next to the right middle queen Xia Ziyue half leaning on the beauty couch, the lower left side is the concubine Xiao Linghan, and below her is the seat of the Kyushu ministers; On the lower right side is the virtuous concubine Gao Tingxuan, and directly below her is the seat of the envoys of various countries. After the four noblest people in Kyushu were seated, the ministers and envoys sat down in turn. Slightly different, in previous years, the first seat on the right was Xiliang Chenzi, but this year it is Bai Liruo. The intention of the arranger is obvious, and the higher the position, the more people mistakenly believe that the country is strong enough to compete with the Son of Heaven, and does not take other countries in their eyes, which is the most likely to attract people's fear. In this way, the Son of Heaven invisibly achieved his goal, and effortlessly intensified the contradictions between various small countries.

It's killing two birds with one stone!

Bai Liruo smiled lightly, it doesn't matter what your intentions are, for the sake of peace between the two countries, out of courtesy, Princess Ben only went once. You Central Plains people twist and turn, this princess doesn't understand, and she is not interested, so it's better to sit and watch the scenery with peace of mind.

Zhao Xun casually glanced at Bai Liruo, and was still in the mood to enjoy the scenery, but he was calm. The more you want to be indifferent, the more I don't want to be. The corners of Zhaoxun's mouth turned up slightly, and he picked up the wine cup in front of him and said with a smile: "Everyone, I wish you a smooth journey and peace in the world!" ”

Bai Liruo couldn't help but be annoyed, what she didn't like the most in the battlefield was this set, but she represented the northern country, and if she was not careful, her every move might become a handle for others to frame and slander the northern country. In desperation, she raised her glass and followed the crowd, listening to their duplicitous flattery.

The Xiliang envoy was the first to begin: "The people of Xiliang wish Your Majesty to govern for a hundred generations, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment!" ”

Nan Ling followed: "Nan Ling wishes Your Majesty a brilliant foundation and prosperity for generations!" ”

Dongyue is eager to speak: "Dongyue wishes that the two countries will always be good for Qin and Jin, and pass it on from generation to generation!" ”

As a messenger, compliments are inevitable, and Bai Liruo's words just came to his lips. As a result, the ministers of Kyushu said in unison as if they had made an appointment: "The ministers wish Your Majesty the imperial industry through the ages, the country and the people, and prosperity!" Sheng Sheng dismissed her opportunity, and other small countries saw the stitches and forced Bai Liruo's voice down.

A premeditated targeting, or underestimating people's hearts. The smile in the corner of Bai Liruo's eyes became deeper and deeper, since you like to work so much, why don't you give you a favor from this princess.

After everyone's sycophancy slipped away, Bai Liruo sat on the chair and still didn't move, everyone smiled, and their ill-intentioned eyes came over, and some people even began to be angry and insinuated.

Bai Liruo was not in a hurry, he got up slowly with cold eyes, poured a large glass of wine and said steadily: "Li Ruo has been studying culture carefully, and it can be regarded as learning!" Different cultures and different ways of presenting them, some are elegant, others are vulgar and shallow. Today, Li Ruo has been taught, and he will punish himself with three cups, and I wish His Majesty a meritorious future! ”

After that, Bai Liruo didn't blink his eyelids, raised his head and drank three cups in one go, and put the finished cup in the air and trembled. People who have drunk alcohol know that this wine is sweet and strong, and the spleen and stomach are uncomfortable after a glass, let alone three glasses. The people present once again refreshed their opinion of her, forgetting the deep meaning of her words for a while, and praised them all openly and secretly, being bold and courageous, and leading troops to fight should not be inferior to men.

After this party sings, the other side appears. A man in white outside the door belatedly arrived: "Princess, what a spirit!" Three cups of belly noodles do not change color, if the amount of wine is really good, this king likes people with courage. Can the princess have a few glasses with the king, I don't know what you think? ”

Blatant provocation!

Bai Liruo scoffed at the words of the visitor, this is an important place in Kyushu, even if it is the prince, the state banquet should have arrived early, and the wine was more than half over, so rude, I am afraid that there is only one person in this world, the younger brother of the saint Zhao Pei.

Zhao Pei strode in, and the ministers of Kyushu were first full of surprise, and then they wanted to salute, but they were all stopped by Zhao Pei. The envoys of various countries were even more interested in the person who claimed to be the prince, and they all looked back at him.

Bai Liruo thought about who this person was, so he lost his mind to inquire and lowered his head to whisper to Liyue about when this boring banquet would end, not paying attention to the appearance of the man who came in. It wasn't until Zhao Pei walked up to her with a wine glass that her expression froze.

The man he met in Ye Mansion was actually the prince of Kyushu, Zhaopei! Why is God playing tricks on people like that? Do you want to be so coincidental? The two people I met in a row, one is the Son of Heaven and the other is the prince, and they don't let people live! Bai Liruo complained bitterly.

When he saw Bai Liruo's face, Zhao Pei was stunned. The woman she met in Ye Fu was actually a princess from the north! What does she have to do with Ye Fu? Why did she appear in the Ye Mansion? For the missing Ye Pai martial arts cheats? What about yesterday's actions?

What's wrong with this man? What was he thinking? Always staring at her? Are you wondering why she appeared in the Yefu Spiritual Hall? Bai Liruo was uncomfortable, poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to Zhao Pei: "Thank you for your love, Li Ruo is indeed too strong to drink." This cup, Li Ruo should respect the prince, if there is any offense, please also ask the prince Haihan! ”

When Bai Liruo stood up, the jade pendant on his waist rubbed against the corner of the table, and a loud sound buzzed in Zhao Pei's ears, this ring pendant was given to Ali back then.

Is she Ali?

With jade as proof, it is indeed Ali!

Ali is a princess of the Northland?

Seek and seek, the princess of the northern kingdom is Ali!

Why didn't I recognize you yesterday? Ah Li, I'm Ah Ran! Zhao Pei's words came to his mouth and swallowed it raw, this occasion is not suitable for recognition, and there will be opportunities in the future. I've been looking for you for 12 years, I've been thinking about you for 12 years, and today I've finally found you!

The consternation on Zhao Pei's face was replaced by joy, and it didn't last long, and he began to fight between heaven and man, extremely annoyed by yesterday's attitude, and he shouldn't have been persuaded to drink just now.

Yiwang is interesting!

This honor, it seems that she is forcing him, hell! The people of heaven are less subtle. Bai Liruo didn't bother to study it carefully, but poured the wine in one go.

"Lord Wang, it's your turn!"

Dai eyebrows are green, two pools of heroic eyes, bottomless, shallow pear vortex slowly dyed, hearty laughter sonorous and powerful, Zhao Pei suddenly woke up, and someone who is destined will eventually meet. The vague outline of childhood slowly became clear, and gradually coincided with the person in front of him, and the person was in the dim light.

When Zhao Pei looked at her again, he couldn't help but have a different kind of emotion in his eyes: "Blame the king for being reckless, borrow wine to make amends to the princess today, please forgive the princess!" ”

Ye Mansion is all taken care of by him?

He seems to have mentioned it in yesterday's dispute.

He studied under Ah Gong? She didn't know. Maybe he joined the Ye sect earlier than her, and when she came, he just returned from his studies. King Yi's name is well-known, but I didn't expect him to be Ah Gong's apprentice. If Ah Gong is here, he will be proud of his disciples.

The Ye family was very prosperous for a while, and once it fell, it was too late for many people to avoid it, but I didn't expect the dignified prince of Kyushu to remember the love of the Ye family. The Baoye Clan's Temple, the reputation of the Yehu family, this friendship, and this heart are not something that anyone can have.

The enemy invaded, and the young man put on armor and went to the battlefield, and he came to fight several times, and his filial piety was repeatedly delayed. Bai Liruo was glad that someone had fulfilled her wish for her, thinking about the matter of the Ye Mansion Ancestral Hall, she really shouldn't do it willfully.

"The prince is serious! The friendship of the prince, Li Ruo will never forget. If Li is inconsiderate, please ask the prince to do a lot, don't care! ”

Bai Li meant it, but of course Zhao Pei understood: "With a small strength, the princess doesn't have to worry about it!" ”

The two of you came and I were polite, and the person at the head saw that the two of them were acting quite wonderfully, and covered up their inner dissatisfaction, and said casually: "Everyone says that Brother Yi doesn't pour a thousand cups, how can he only drink one cup?" ”

"How much does the imperial brother want his brother to drink?"

"Drink until you're done!"

"The emperor's brother's good intentions, but the courtier's brother is disrespectful, but I am afraid that the wine in the palace is not enough to stuff the teeth."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed, the wine in the palace, I'm afraid he won't be able to drink it to death, this King Yi is really arrogant!

Zhaoxun shook the wine in the cup and chuckled and sighed: "There are many fine wines in the palace!" There are strong and dry ones, some are soft and sweet, and some are spicy and sweet, I don't know which one Brother Yi prefers? ”

There are some things that are not rewarded by me, and if they are not yours, don't worry about them. Zhao Pei said: "Some wines can be tasted lightly!" Wine is good, but don't be greedy. This imperial brother has a lot of thoughts, isn't it just a few more words, why insinuate, Zhao Pei picked up the wine again and walked respectfully to the center of the hall: "The wine in this cup is good!" Without the royal brother, how can the younger brother have this blessing, thank you for the royal brother's cultivation for many years! Brother respects your wishes, the governance is smooth, and the world is peaceful! ”

"Since Brother Yi likes it, I will send someone to carry a few altars to King Yi's Mansion later. I wish our brothers to work together and get what we want. ”

Zhao Xun raised his glass from afar, his eyes wandered, and when he looked closely, this hot gaze actually always revolved around Bai Liruo. What a brother together! What if you fall in love with the same person? Zhao Pei smiled slightly, with a little bitterness, nodded and drank the wine.

Bai Liruo pressed his aching temples and smiled sincerely, these two brothers are interesting!

Bai Liruo's every move did not escape Zhao Pei's eyes. He poured another glass and turned around, although he was looking at the people below, most of them were actually looking at her. This time, will I protect you for the rest of your life?

"This king is late, this cup of this king respects everyone here!"

Which one did the brothers sing? Bai Liruo followed the flow and raised his glass.

"Thank you, Lord Yi!"
