Chapter Seventy-Five: Foreign Guests (I)
The autumn breeze is light, in the viewing pool in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, there are ripples from time to time, the water in the pool is shallow, the naked eye can see that there are fish swimming around in the pool, Huan Rang sat sideways on the stone railing by the pool, and suddenly threw down a fist-sized stone, startling the fish in the pool to flee in all directions, he lowered his head slightly, saw the fish in the water swimming away in panic, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
Xie Zheng walked from behind him and asked in a slow voice, "Huan Langjun has something on his mind?" ”
Huan Rang seemed to be startled, and then put away Fang Cai's face, he jumped down from the stone railing, turned around and faced Xie Zheng with a smile, but she was stunned for a moment, and he called in surprise: "Sister Deyin? ”
"Sister, why are you dressed like this?" Huan Rang looked at the "handsome gentleman" in front of him who was wearing a Confucian robe and tied up his long hair.
"That's what I mean," Huan Ling seemed to fall from the sky, and suddenly appeared under the corridor in front of him, he walked over without hurry, and then said: "I want to enter the palace for a banquet today, and your sister Deyin wants to go with me, but my daughter has a lot of inconveniences, so I made this decision." ”
"What's inconvenient about my daughter," Huan Rang quipped: "If she becomes my sister-in-law, won't she be able to follow my eldest brother to various occasions justifiably?" ”
Huan Ling glanced at Xie Zheng, saw that there was no smile on her face, and knew that she was angry, so he hurriedly reprimanded Huan Rang with a fake look: "Zhong Xuan, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Xie Zheng had already seen through the trick of the two brothers, so she just laughed and didn't say anything.
Huan Rang turned sideways again, and threw the last stone in his hand into the water, as if he was bored, Huan Ling said: "I called a famous tailor in Jiankang, come over later to tailor it for you, order a few clothes for you, you stay in the house, don't go out for the time being." ”
After saying that, he raised his hand and patted Huan Rang's shoulder, and then left with Xie Zheng.
Huan Ling and Xie Zheng had already walked a little farther away, Huan Rang only looked back at them at this time, he looked at Huan Ling's back from a distance, and whispered: "What if I want the crane silk robe on your body......
The banquet was set up in the Tai Chi Palace, Xie Zheng followed behind Huan Ling, in front of the Tai Chi Hall was a high step, the two were walking up layer by layer, and suddenly heard someone calling: "Xie... Xie Zheng? ”
It was Xiao Zhen's voice, Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, she stopped, followed the sound and turned around, only to see Xiao Zhen walking up briskly from the steps below, "Xie Langjun, if it's really you, today is a banquet to entertain the Goguryeo envoys, why are you here?" ”
In accordance with the rules of receiving foreign guests, he wore a gown and a crown on his head, so that he was serious, as if he was going to go to court, the only difference was that he did not have a court wat in his hand and no white pen on his ear.
At that time, Huan Ling had also stopped, standing on the steps one level higher than Xie Zheng, and when he turned around and saw that it was Xiao Zheng, he was suddenly unhappy in his heart, but he still nodded politely to Xiao Zheng, and then said to Xie Zheng: "I'm waiting for you inside," and went up without looking back.
Xie Zheng took a deep breath, and then said with a slightly coquettish smile: "Come and see the world." ”
Seeing her like this, Xiao Zhen was stunned, he was still a little uncomfortable, and said hesitantly: "Why are you so naughty all of a sudden, it's not like you." ”
Xie Zheng laughed a little, Xiao Zhen immediately mentioned the matter, he asked, "Have you heard about Zhang Gou?" ”
"Naturally, I heard about it. King Wuling was reluctant to let this chess piece out, and designed to release him, but underestimated Mrs. Shen's ability. ”
"What do you mean, Mrs. Shen sent someone to kill Zhang Gou?"
"Who else but her?" Yixing Zhou's side branch, the total is also Shen Zhou's and Zhou Xuyi's sister and brother, as soon as Zhou Xuyi dies, the only one who wants to avenge him the most is Shen Zhou's.
"Lone still thought it was the fifth child, because he knew too many secrets, so the fifth child wanted to kill him."
As he spoke, the two of them had walked up to it, and they were mentioning Xiao Ye, and they happened to meet him at the gate of the Taiji Palace.
Xiao Ye put on a stinky face when he saw Xie Zheng, and said in a weird manner: "Xie Langjun is so powerful, as soon as he made a move, he caused the king to lose his right hand." ”
Xie Zheng smiled and said nothing, and Xiao Ye then smiled at Xiao Zheng in a strange way: "Big brother has found a good helper." ”
Xiao Zhen looked at him quietly and didn't say anything, so he said again: "However, he has helped his eldest brother so much, what is he trying to do?" ”
He smiled coldly, and then approached Xiao Xun's side, sowing discord in his ear: "Beware that he has other plans." ”
"What does His Royal Highness King Wuling mean by this, the reason why Xie helped the prince is just to admire the prince's virtue and benevolence, what else can he do?"
"This Wang Zuo is just saying that you are joking, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, just listen to it, but you still have to argue for two sentences," Xiao Ye laughed, glanced at Xie Zheng, and then turned around and entered the hall, Xie Zheng was displeased, scolded in his heart, and entered the hall with a cold face.
Xiao Zhen was still standing outside the hall, and Yin Luo said: "Your Highness, in fact, what King Wuling said just now is not unreasonable. ”
"Why do you say that about her!" Xiao Zhen looked at Yin Luo in disbelief, Yin Luo hurriedly shook his head, "No, that's not what I mean!" Humble position means that ordinary people take refuge in His Highness, either for fame and fortune or for money, but she doesn't want anything, doesn't His Highness think it's strange? ”
Seeing that Xiao Zhen didn't speak, Yin Luo was apprehensive, and hurriedly added: "It's not that she suspects that she has other plans, but she is a little curious." ”
Xiao Zhen sighed for a long time, "Lone is also curious, but she has a very strange temper, how dare Lone ask." ”
When Yin Luo heard this, he smiled a little helplessly, and then followed Xiao Zhen into the hall.
At this time, Xiao Daocheng had not yet arrived, and the Goguryeo envoys were nowhere to be seen.
Xie Zheng entered the hall, walked to Huan Ling and sat down, Huan Ling was pouring wine by himself, his face was full of unhappiness, he asked, "What are you talking about?" It took so long to come in. ”
"Let's talk about Zhang Gou," Xie Zheng snatched the wine jug in his hand, and poured a slow glass for himself, Huan Ling looked at her, frowned, and was quite disgusted, "Talk about what he does, isn't this unappetizing?" ”
Xie Zheng sneered, and only said: "It turns out that the county marquis is also afraid of dirty." ”
"When did I stop loving cleanliness?"
"Who took me from the beginning..."Xie Zheng wanted to mention that Huan Ling dug her out of the tomb with his bare hands three years ago, but he was interrupted, and the two of them were talking and laughing with one mind, but they didn't know that Xiao Yifu was approaching, and only heard her smile: "I have heard that Hou Langlang of Yongxiu County is like the sun and the moon in his arms, and now he sees it, it is really like a jade of jade. ”
Xiao Yifu was carrying a wine jug, and suddenly appeared on Huan Ling's side, she was looking down at him as if no one was around, her eyes were like silk, her face was flushed, as if she wanted to throw herself into her arms, Huan Ling beat a drum in her heart, and secretly moved to Xie Zheng's side, just wanting to stay away from Xiao Yifu, he sneered: "The princess praises falsely, Huan is ashamed." ”
"In the Jin Dynasty, Pan Anwei Jue once led thousands of empty alleys, although Huan Lang did not cause such a commotion, but there must be no few women in the world who are chasing you, and there must be no minority, and Huan Lang deserves that praise!" Xiao Yifu was very charming, and couldn't help but pick up the wine cup in front of Huan Ling, pour a glass of wine for him, and even send it to his mouth, Huan Ling was deeply embarrassed, and quickly dodged it, he snatched the wine cup, and said embarrassedly: "The princess is polite......"
Xiao Yifu laughed out loud and said coquettishly: "I never thought that the Marquis of Yongxiu County would be so shy. ”
Princess Yixing is uninhibited and flirting with people in public, this is not once or twice, as early as three years ago, she had done indecent things with Shen Wenhe in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, forcing Wang Jian to reconcile with her.
Xie Zheng had a cold face and held back the fire in his belly.
"Let the princess see it, Huan Mou punished himself with a cup," Huan Ling drank all the wine in the cup.
Xiao Yifu stretched out his hand and wanted to snatch the wine cup in Huan Ling's hand, when he suddenly heard Qu Ping shouting outside the hall: "Your Majesty has arrived." She was shocked, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and hurriedly returned to the dining table on Xiao Ye's right side and sat down.
