These words blew into Xiahou Xi's ears and calmed down her fluttering heart.

Looking at the capital, she is indeed the one who is most qualified to become Princess Lin.

If Brother Achen really has a trace of affection for her, then in front of so many people, he will never refute her face.

Here, Emperor Mingren glanced at Li Hanchen and saw that he was expressionless, and he knew it in his heart.

Solve his own affairs, he neatly threw this pot to his younger brother.

He looked at Li Hanchen, who was eating by himself, with a smile, and said to Xiahou: "He'er, if you really want to marry your brother Achen, why don't you ask his opinion." If he agrees, my brother-in-law will give you a marriage. ”

Everyone's eyes brushed to Li Hanchen's expressionless face again, waiting for his reply.

At his age, it is time for him to marry a wife and have children.

Facing Li Hanchen's faint eyes, Xiahou Xi's heart, which was still warm, was half cold at the moment.

Before today, Brother Ah Chen had never looked at her with such indifferent eyes.

The next moment, she saw Li Hanchen holding Xu Chaowan to stand up, raising their clenched hands to show everyone, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tender.

He said: "Auntie is still young, and she mistakenly took the momentary throbbing as sincere, and she said these words half-ignorant and half-incomprehensible. When he meets his lover one day, he will understand what true love is. And I've already met someone I want to spend my life with, and now she's right next to me. ”

This fluttering word and sentence was like an ice cube piercing Xiahou Xi's heart, cold and painful.

Her nose was sore, and she gritted her teeth to prevent tears from coming out.

Brother Chen's face changed so quickly. Last time in the carriage, she said that she had grown up to avoid suspicion, and now she said that she was still young!

The atmosphere was quite embarrassing for a while, and Queen Xuande let go of the little prince and relieved her sister: "Ji'er is indeed still young, and she doesn't know what love is." Maybe it's because he has been by Hanchen's side for too long and hasn't been in contact with other men, so he mistook his feelings for sincerity. Maybe when you grow up, you'll understand. ”

Seeing that Xiahou Ji's face was red and white, she said softly: "Don't worry, the man you marry in the future will not lose to your brother Chen." ”

Xiahou Ji was extremely embarrassed, but in order to save face, she had to go down the steps.

She bit her lip and looked at Empress Xuande, pretending to be ignorant and asking, "Sister, isn't Xi'er really in love with Brother Achen?" ”

"Of course not, you're just used to staying by your brother's side, just dependence, not love. When you meet a man who is really tempting, you will know. ”

"That's right." She nodded slightly: "That Ji'er knows, Ji'er will wait for that person." ”

After that, he endured the uncomfortable feeling and said to Li Hanchen: "Brother Achen, it was my sister who misunderstood my mind, and I hope my brother will not take it seriously." ”

Li Hanchen led Xu Chaodu to sit down and replied politely: "Naturally not." ”

It was only a small episode, and soon the delicate atmosphere was drowned out by the conversation between the men.

After the meal, Emperor Akihito drove Qingyuntai and watched the fireworks with his family to welcome the New Year.

Cheongundae is an excellent location for viewing the entire palace. Climb the Qingyun Terrace, and all the scenery is in full view.

On the stage, the smooth long table has already prepared snacks after dinner, and a row of servants are brushing and brushing aside, opening the thick curtain of crane feathers to wait for the arrival of the master.

A butterfly white jade plate holds pastries of various shapes, and gold-encrusted cups faintly shine under the lantern.

At this time, the palace was already crackling and cheerful with the sound of firecrackers.

"Sister Xu, let's go out for a walk, there is a plum garden in the palace that is very beautiful!" Before she sat down, Xiahou Ji came over and held her hand affectionately and invited her to hang out.

In the gaze of Li Hanchen, she gave him a reassuring look, and pulled out her hand without a trace, "Okay." ”

"May I go with you?" At this time, Xu Tinglan spoke up and stood up cautiously.

"Lan'er." Li Wuye took her hand and reminded her: "It's late now, if you want to go, I'll accompany you tomorrow." ”

Xu Tinglan looked at him obediently and smiled slightly: "Husband, I also want to go shopping with my sisters and say something." ”

Without waiting for Li Wuye to answer, Xiahou Ji smiled and agreed: "Okay, okay, Sister Lan will go with us." Brother Shizi, don't worry, I will take care of Sister Lan. ”

Looking at his wife's expectant eyes, Li Wuye finally nodded, and called a few maidservants to help her before letting her go.

The three of them carried delicate lanterns and walked away, and the warm light in the cold wind swayed and disappeared around the corner.

The plum grove is not far from here, and it will not be long before you arrive.

The proudest is Xuemei, who opens alone in the cold.

The red plum blossoms are blooming brightly at this time, blooming beautifully from the ice and snow.

The ethereal plum fragrance penetrated into the nose with the passing cold wind, and the three of them were speechless all the way.

"Sister Lan, I want to say a few words to Sister Xu alone, is it okay?" Xiahou looked at Xu Tinglan with a smile, looking innocent and cute.

Xu Tinglan wrapped her cloak tightly to protect her stomach and nodded: "Okay." ”

Xu Tinglan stayed where she was, watching the two of them walk towards the depths of Merlin with lanterns.

"If Miss Xiahou has anything to say, just say it."

Standing under a low plum tree, Xu Chaodui got straight to the point.

Xiahou Ji called her out alone, it was nothing more than about Li Hanchen.

"Xu Chaodui." She raised the lantern in her hand to illuminate the girl's beautiful face and a plum blossom that reached the edge of her hair, and her expression cooled, "I really want to know what kind of medicine you gave Brother Achen to make him want to marry you so desperately." ”

Xu Chao looked at her without waves, full of confidence: "Because he loves me." ”

"Huh." Xiahou laughed sarcastically, "He loves you?" Ask yourself, what do you deserve Brother Chen's love? In terms of life experience, you are not worthy; When it comes to giving, you don't. Why do you accept his love so justifiably? Didn't you tell me before, you don't like Brother Chen, you want to leave him, you should go! ”

"That was before. Now he is good to me and I love him. As long as he doesn't abandon me, I won't abandon him. ”

Syllable...

As soon as Xiahou let go, the lantern fell straight to the ground and made a slight sound.

In the dark, she sneered: "You once said that if he marries the princess, you will leave, does it still count?" ”

"I said, as long as he doesn't abandon me, I won't abandon him."

"Good. Even if Brother Ah Chen rejects me today, I will definitely have a way to marry her. You wait and see. ”

Xiahou has a strong smell of gunpowder, and Xu Chao is light and light in the twilight.

In the cold wind, the two walked out of Merlin one after the other.

"Sister Lan, there's nothing to look at in this Merlin. It's a little cold outside, let's go back, it's not good to freeze the baby for a while. Xiahou held Xu Tinglan's hand affectionately.

Xu Tinglan smiled at her and said, "Sister Xiahou, go back first, I also have something to say to her." ”

This time it was Xu Chaodu's turn to be unhappy.

What are these two people's obsessions with themselves? Take turns to fight the book, do you want to fight so much?

For Xu Tinglan, she didn't have much to say. Changxing Houfu owed her a life, and she also reciprocated by smashing Changxing Houfu. If Xu Tinglan wants to take revenge, then just come, she can bear it.

After Xiahou Ji left, the two looked at each other coldly, waiting for the other party to speak first.

Xu Chaowan didn't want to waste time, so he said lightly: "If you have anything to say, talk about it." ”

Xu Tinglan withdrew from the servant, wrapped in a tight cloak, and her tone was a little angry: "Are you happy?" Changxing Houfu is the place where you have lived for so many years, you have to make our family ruined to be happy? After all, my father is also your father, do you have a conscience? ”

Xu Chaowan couldn't help but laugh lightly when he heard this.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, she asked rhetorically: "Who caused my family to be ruined?" Oh no, I haven't had a home since my mom died. And my only cherished brother was killed by you. I really can't wait to cut Xu Xiangyang with a thousand cuts! ”
