Tang Xuanlin passed by leisurely on the side, leaving a plate of bright and lovely cherry blossoms, and the peach rested on the table on the side.

"Earlier, I heard some old things, and I told that the Liu family, who favored the harem, in order for her son to win the crown prince, connected with the courtiers in a vain attempt to force the palace, and later was noticed by His Majesty, and a cup of poisoned wine was given to death, and the Liu family was later held accountable and disposed of, and it was ruined."

Bu Tong smacked his lips, reached out and groped for cherry blossoms, peaches to eat,

"That's consistent with those legends outside, but it sounds strange, it's obviously a favorite concubine, one person in the harem, above ten thousand, and the queen has no heirs, the position of the prince is at his fingertips, why should this noble man take risks to rebel?"

Tang Xuanlin looked at Butong on the recliner and smiled helplessly,

"This bamboo chair is as you wish, if you don't have to go home, I'm afraid it will grow on it."

Bu Tong happily touched a few crystal clear and withdrew his little hand, and then shook the chair, enjoying this beautiful time comfortably,

"Uncle Bai is about to return to Beijing, I'm afraid there will be more banquets and activities that need to be attended when I go back, and the days of being idle here won't last long."

Tang Xuanlin casually sat down on the stone next to him,

"That's why most legends and wild histories are not credible."

Bu Tong was so sunburned that he squinted at him, but he could only see a phantom clearly,

"I think it's all the story of my father's generation, and now I occasionally take it out to make fun of it, but I always feel that when my father mentions this Liu Guifei, it can't be regarded as nostalgia, and I think their relationship is not good."

Tang Xuanlin continued to put down a few of the most brilliant fruits in Butong's hand,

"I heard that the Liu family was prominent back then, and they had the grace to help these princes and even His Majesty."

Bu Tong sighed again and again,

"Seeing the tall buildings rise and collapse in an instant, it seems that this is also a very complicated story."

Back then, the Liu family, who was able to support His Majesty and the four princes, thought about what a glorious status, but now there is no blood left, completely disappeared, no wonder Mu Hewen is unwilling, if everything is safe and smooth, I am afraid that with the support of strong relatives, Mu Hewen will not be down to what he is now.

Tang Xuanlin reached out to take the cherry blossoms, peach pits,

"How did Tong'er suddenly become interested in the Liu family? But then Mu Hewen came to bother you again? ”

Even if Bu Tong couldn't see his innocence, he also noticed a fleeting killing intent, and hurriedly got up,

"It's not all, originally I just thought that the three princes were simple and didn't have any city government, but I just knew that it was a little funny to be stupid like a headless fly to win over all parties. But I met once a few days ago, and during the conversation, I felt that he didn't seem to be as honest and upright as I deduced, as if there was a purpose for returning to Beijing this time, and there were people behind him who were giving advice. ”

Tang Xuanlin nodded and said suddenly,

"A few days ago, I met General Lie, and he also mentioned Mu Hewen's stay in the capital, although he was quite surprised and sighed, but he was also happy, I saw that he admired Mu Hewen very much."

Tang Xuanlin's words aroused Butong's curiosity, and after thinking for a while, he erased the bold guess, and slipped his nose like a fully slept kitten.

"It doesn't have to be General Lie, haven't you noticed? Most of the people that the generals admire are military generals who have made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and only one of the three highnesses can enter his eyes among the princes. ”

Tang Xuanlin was noncommittal.

Wu 13 suddenly entered the door and said, "My lord, the county lord, there is a little servant outside who has come to spread the word, saying that the Lord of the West Kingdom is holding a family banquet and inviting the adults to come over." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a wooden nameplate with exquisite craftsmanship, Tang Xuanlin pinched it in his hand and took a closer look.

"Did you really invite me?"

Wu Shisan was stunned by Tang Xuanlin's sudden doubt, "Your Excellency is now in front of Your Majesty, except for Lin Xiangguo, it is normal for Lord Xiguo to have the heart to make friends." ”

Tang Xuanlin waved his hand to ask him to step back, and Bu Tong spoke,

"My uncle is not so fond of making friends with important ministers in the court, he is not involved in the court, although my father and brother are ranked sixth, but my uncle is like a worldly scattered immortal, that is the most freewheeling person, the house often holds banquets to invite talented people from all walks of life, now what's going on? Today, I actually handed the post to the East Factory. ”

Tang Xuanlin carefully put away the name tag, and suddenly said amazingly,

"It's the first time I've officially met my uncle, Tong'er, which shirt should I wear properly and not be rude?"

……

The family banquet in the courtyard was a grand one, and even invited the queen and concubine in the palace, Bu Tong arrived at the Xiguo Mansion early with his family, only to see that it was already full of people, and the family placed the guests in an orderly manner, without showing any hectic.

The family of the Nanguo Mansion is placed in the attic, but it faces a pond in the backyard with a good view.

Mrs. Qi followed Mrs. Peng to help receive the guests, Bu Tong went with Bai Peony to greet the nobles in the palace, the queen rarely sat with Concubine Qi, but in the main hall of the backyard, it was the quietest place, and she didn't see the slightest relaxation when she didn't laugh.

Bu Tong muttered in a low voice,

"It's obvious that I'm going out to a banquet and still doing this, where is there any interest?"

Bai Peony hurriedly turned around to stop her "nonsense", and there was already a grandmother in it to greet her, "The nobles are bored, and they are still talking about the two girls, the county lord and the young lady, please come here." ”

Bai Peony bowed slightly, and Bu Tong smiled brightly at the visitor,

"Mama Chang, but I haven't seen you for a long time."

Mama Chang smiled rarely, "The county lord has a good memory, and he still thinks about me, an old woman." ”

Butong fell and bowed generously,

"I've seen Mama Chang, the sages often say: one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, Mama has worked hard for a long time, taught Butong a lot of things, and has not forgotten the master's truth."

Mama Chang was quite grateful and nodded again and again.

The two of them suddenly entered the door, smiling and kneeling like flowers,

"I've seen the queen and the concubine."

Qi Guifei just looked at it with a smile and nodded, the queen naturally couldn't make a mistake beside her.

Bu Tong thought that his feud with Mu Hequan was tied to death, Feng Yi could know his own role, the queen may not be innocent, and now that she is in front of her, she is afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother still looked close and kind, smiling softly and generously, "But I haven't seen Ah Tong for a long time, why do you look a lot thinner, come and show me when you come closer." ”

Bu Tong muttered silently in his heart, what is the intention of this queen? Could it be that I really don't know? Of course, the person who has the ability to live in the middle palace is not such a brainless stupid white sweet, but if he knows that he still makes a friendly appearance here, then this endurance is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After all, it costs more than ten years and eight years to support a prince.

Although Butong was very resistant in his heart, he still stepped forward slowly,

"Thank you for your care, it's about Tong'er who was injured a few days ago and is recuperating at home, and my daughter's family is worried that the wound will not heal well, and the mood is a little dull."

The worry on the queen's face was as if she was sincere, and looking at the scar on Butong's neck, she actually showed a little sadness, "Tong'er suffered, in the end, our royal children were not well-educated, and they frequently caused you to suffer." ”

Bu Tong was shocked, it seemed that this queen knew more than she expected.

Qi Guifei smiled on the side and said, "Sister don't mind, in the end, it is Tong'er who is spoiled by my sister, and the most open-mouthed and unruly is the most open-mouthed, if there is some misunderstanding, he should have said his innocence a long time ago, why is it the current situation." ”

The queen looked at Bu Tong's smiling face and suddenly laughed, "But this scar is also extremely insignificant, our Tong'er is so talented, naturally we can make a good son." ”

Qi Guifei also laughed heartily when she heard this.

Only Bu Tong was a little apprehensive, and sure enough, the queen continued, "In Qi Guifei's heart, is there a candidate for a husband for Tong'er?" ”

Qi Guifei's face flickered, and when she saw Bu Tong's instantly shocked eyes, she spoke, "If you want to say that your daughter's family is over 17 years old, you should really discuss marriage, but the niece of the concubine is really wild, and the concubine really has no idea, so let my sister and brother-in-law work hard." ”

The queen was unrelenting, "Concubine Qi's words are too much, I look at Tong'er very well, smart and decisive and have ideas, who can please such a daughter-in-law." ”

Bu Tong hurriedly raised his head,

"Thank you for your care, it's just that Tong'er is showing up all day long, and she has long lost the demeanor of a daughter of your family, so she still has to learn more rules at home to collect her temperament, so as not to lose the face of the house and His Majesty."

The queen just smiled, "Tong'er's peace of mind is that this palace will definitely be able to choose a good husband who is outstanding for you." ”

……

Until he withdrew, Bu Tong looked up at the already dark sky above his head, exhaled heavily, and complained angrily,

"I'm at the age of being urged to get married."

Bai Peony covered her mouth and snickered, since she was pregnant, she has become more and more gentle, the cold air on her body is gone, and sure enough, the brilliance of motherhood is great, "Tong'er, don't be joking, wait for the day when Niangniang promises you someone, how will you stay?" ”

Bu Tong nodded seriously, "This is a very serious problem. ”

Bai Peony laughed out of tears, and only then did she recover after a while, "After all, you are now the county lord's mother, and your marriage still needs Your Majesty's nod, Your Majesty will definitely ask your father what he means, after all, the initiative is still in his own hands, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid it's about to start." ”

Bu Tong smiled and nodded, and a familiar figure passed by in the afterglow of his eyes,

"Sister-in-law, go back first and tell everyone not to wait for me."

Bai Peony hurriedly grabbed Bu Tong, "Where are you going?" There are many people today, so don't look for him. ”

Bu Tong knew that Bai Peony had misunderstood, and hurriedly motioned for her to go to see Chang Mama, who was arranging the palace people in the distance.

"I'm going to visit Mama Chang, and I'm really curious about some things, and I want to ask for advice."
