In the side hall on the other side, as soon as Huantong and his father sat down, they ushered in a "guest" - the third prince.

"Weichen meets the third prince."

"General Situ, Situ is exempt." The three princes stepped forward to help.

"I didn't expect the two of you to recognize my identity, and I didn't want to know me, the little third prince of Kyoto, as far away as Tongjiang."

Huantong didn't expect that the third prince would get the news so quickly and know that he had become the leader of the White Tiger Battalion. Shocked to shocked, or don't forget to reply.

After the decree arrived, my father found the portraits of the princes and ministers in Kyoto, and the appearance of the three princes was already memorized by Weichen. It's just that I don't know if the three princes are coming, but there is something wrong? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that considering that Situ Senling has just come to Kyoto, and this palace is the same age as Senling, he should do his best to be a landlord. This Kyoto delicious and fun Hongu is the most familiar, if it is ...... in the future"

"The third brother is wrong, if you talk about it, I am naturally better than the third brother, and the task of visiting Kyoto with the consulate is naturally handed over to me."

I saw a young man wearing a stone blue five-clawed dragon tuan-patterned brocade robe, carrying a sandalwood fractured fan, leaning on the door frame.

The third prince glanced at the young man angrily, turned his head and smiled again, and said to Phantom Tong: "Phantom Tong, this is the fifth prince Teng Zike, who is used to being casual on weekdays, if there is anything offended, please bear with me." ”

Huantong couldn't help but look up at the third prince, he had just told him that he knew everyone, but at this time, he rushed to introduce him, and he also pleaded guilty for the fifth prince.

not only showed in front of the five princes that he was already familiar with this leader, but also behaved very virtuous. is worthy of being the queen's son, shrewd enough.

"My third brother is a fox, he is not very old but has a lot of eyes, and it is very boring to play with him, if you want to go out to play, just come to me."

The fifth prince didn't wait for Huantong to reply, and after speaking, he shook his fan and left.

"The fifth brother has always been like this, he is rude, don't be angry. I see that the time is almost up, and the banquet is about to start, so let's go over now. ”

The third prince was still smiling, and he made a gesture of please.

The group headed towards the Imperial Garden, where the dinner was set up on an island in the middle of the lake. This lake is in the east of the Imperial Garden, because the lake is planted with Mo Lan, and the fragrance is bursting in spring, so it is named Yixin Lake.

The small island in Yixin Lake is larger, with a promenade pavilion and a lake in the island.

Originally, the banquets were held in the Taihe Palace, but this time they chose to hold a banquet outdoors, because the emperor was afraid that Situ and his son would be accustomed to the life of the side, and he was afraid that the banquet in the palace would make the two uncomfortable.

This reason is indeed considerate, but those who have a heart will inevitably taste a trace of deep meaning from it.

The general of Zhenguo, who has been stationed in Tongjiang all the year round, was suddenly recalled to Beijing urgently, and the emperor gave him a mansion and a big feast, giving this old minister who protects the country enough face.

But the location of this house is delicate, and the dinner party held outdoors is reverie. can't adapt to the banquet of the Taihe Palace, is it ironic that this is from the vulgarity of the two people in the border pass.

The courtiers all had their own understandings, and only he knew what the Holy One thought.

It is the late autumn season, and the Imperial Garden is also a scene of withering glory, but it is not desolate. Next to the side of the road, there are a few autumn chrysanthemums planted, which have also been defeated at this time. The petals folded together, and the peduncle was no longer firm, wilting and drooping on the side of the road.

Although it is natural for flowers to bloom and fail, it is somewhat uncomfortable to hold this feast in these flowers that have failed.

Phantom Tong looked at the withered yellow eyes, and several images flashed in his mind.

A nobleman in a gorgeous costume stood in a courtyard full of withered grass, his eyes were full of vicissitudes.

It was still the same courtyard, and the woman was lying on the snow, and the blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and the drips on the snow were particularly dazzling.

There was some pain in his heart, and his eyebrows were touched, and Phantom Tong couldn't help frowning.

"Situ Ginseng, Counselor...... Phantom Tong ......" The third prince called in Phantom Tong's ear a few times before he came back to his senses, "Are you unwell?" There's a gazebo in front, so you go and sit for a while. The main palace will go to the banquet with the general first, and then send a little father-in-law to pick you up later. ”

"Your Highness, thank you for causing trouble to Your Highness."

When I approached the pavilion, I found that there was a person in the pavilion, and it was still a girl.

The girl did not wear a palace dress, but a black guard suit, which showed more waist than the usual skirt. There are no extra hair ornaments on the head, just a simple plain hosta to tie up the long hair, and the remaining two strands of hair hang down to the ears.

Without powder, it is delicate and smart, the skin is like condensed fat, the eyes are like bright stars, the eyes are clear, there is a cinnabar mole between the willow eyebrows, and the heroic face adds a touch of charm.

"Childe, it doesn't seem polite to stare at a strange woman like this." There is a majesty and domineering in his voice, but his voice is very soft.

"In Xia Situ Huantong, it's abrupt, don't be surprised, girl." He smiled at the girl and sat down across from her.

The girl didn't give her a second glance, she still sat there and wiped her soft sword.

"Has the girl ever been to the Mausoleum? I met a person in Lingcheng who had the same cinnabar mole as the girl. ”

"Haven't been."

"Haven't you really been?" Huantong was a little unwilling, and always felt that the person in front of him was the one he had met.

"Lie to you what to do. Besides, there are many people in the world who have cinnabar moles between their eyebrows, and I am not an old acquaintance of my son. ”

The girl was a little impatient, and withdrew the soft sword from its scabbard, and after thinking about it, she said,

"Presumably Childe is here for the dinner, I'll take Childe over."

"There's Miss Lao."

There is no bridge from the shore of the lake to the island, and if you want to think of the island, you have to take a boat to get there. The guard girl took Phantom Tong to the dock where she took the boat at Yixin Lake, and left after saying goodbye.

The little eunuch that the third prince was looking for had just come down from the island, and met Huantong at the pier and happily led him to the island in the middle of the lake by boat.

After landing on the island, the little eunuch led Huantong through a long corridor, turned left and right in the rockery and walked for a while before coming to a flat lawn mountain, which is now full of small cases, and a platform was set up in the north, on which three large tables were placed, and behind the middle table was a dragon chair.

The dinner has not started yet, and the officials have already arrived, and they are not in a hurry to take their seats, three groups of two get together, chatting about something secretly, as soon as Huantong appeared, they all stopped talking, looked at Huantong in unison, and then went back to chat.

Phantom Tong glanced around, looking for his father in the crowd, when suddenly a hand was on his shoulder, and the voice of the fifth prince came from his ear.

"Those old men are bored, as boring as the third brother, don't look at them, lest you be infected by them. Let's go, I'll take you to meet a friend. ”

Huantong was pulled to the other side by the five princes, there were several teenagers standing there, the five princes waved their hands, and a young man in a white robe ran over.

"Phantom Tong, this is Zhao Zhenyu, and his father Zhao Dun is the commander of the White Tiger Battalion."

"Situ Shenling, I have been trained in the White Tiger Camp, and I will be your subordinate in the future."

Zhao Zhenyu is very cheerful, talking and laughing with Huantong and the five princes, he is not restrained and twisted, and he is indeed a hearty person.

"All the sons and sons of high-ranking official families in Kyoto are here, and only the third brother's cousin, Beitang Dai, is not messing with everyone. The boy had no father since he was a child, and his father saw the pity of his orphans and widows, so he let him take his father's title at the age of five.

This little lord has been following the third brother's ass since he was a child, and he has never been in contact with us, and the third brother is also very precious to his cousin, and if he meets him in the future, don't offend the little master. ”

"Xie Fifth Prince reminds that it seems that following the Fifth Prince is indeed a lot of benefits."

"That's nature, go, go meet new friends."

Huantong was left here by the five princes to chat with the sons of various families, so he had no time to find his father and the third prince. The five princes mingled with these princes, and there was no prince shelf, and Phantom Tong was also comfortable chatting with them.

The sky is getting dark, the emperor and the queen concubine walked slowly, the queen is dignified, the concubine is charming, one left and one right walk behind the emperor, they are followed by their respective fathers, the left minister Nan Hezhang and the right minister Ran Sheng.

Queen Nan Suli is the eldest daughter of Nan Hezhang, the emperor married into the palace before he ascended the throne, and the concubine Ran Tingyu is Ran Sheng's youngest daughter and Ran Sheng's heart.

The girl she had seen in the pavilion changed into a maid's dress and followed the queen. Huantong was surprised, so he looked at it twice, and found that he only looked very similar to the girl, but there was no cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, and he was shorter.

The emperor came, everyone took the seats, Situ Hao and Situ Huantong's position was just next to the left prime minister Nan Hezhang, the right minister sat opposite them, there were still some vacant seats between the two prime ministers and the emperor for the emperor's several princes, and the others were seated in order according to the official products.
