Chapter 44: The Banquet of the Temple

Xiao Boyan's heart softened, raised his hand and gently stroked her sideburns, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't leave you." Let's go back first, this is the palace, and it's not appropriate to be seen. ”

"Hmm." Fang Qingru obediently tried to wipe away the tears, and walked out of the smoke pavilion step by step.

Hearing his promise with her own ears, Fang Qingru was a little relieved, but she still couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

Outside the Smoke Pavilion, Qingluan couldn't see what the people inside were doing, and couldn't help but be very curious, and was about to move to the Smoke Pavilion again, but saw Fang Qingru leave the Smoke Pavilion and leave in a hurry with the palace person outside the door.

Looking back at the smoke pavilion, there seemed to be no one inside.

Qingluan leaned forward again without giving up, and indeed saw that there was no one inside.

Huh? It's weird.

At this moment, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, looked back, and was startled, "Xiao Boyan, it turned out to be you?" ”

Xiao Boyan was dressed in a purple brocade suit, wearing a soap gauze hat, wearing a jade belt around his waist, his posture was quite beautiful, his face was like a crown of jade, and he was standing not far away with his hands and looking at her with heavy eyes, "Jianing, what are you doing here?" ”

Qingluan straightened up his waist and smiled at him: "Who is the person I should have a tryst with Miss Fang Qingru, it turned out to be Xiao Hou." ”

Xiao Boyan frowned and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about! ”

"Am I talking nonsense?" Qingluan looked at him with disdain: "Dare not do it!" Since you love her so much, you married her directly, so why bother to do such a sneaky thing. ”

Xiao Boyan looked gloomy and was silent.

Seeing this, Qingluan walked outside Xinfeng Garden with the corner of her skirt:

"I'm going to tell my uncle to cancel our marriage contract and fulfill you and Fang Qingru, you don't have to be so aggrieved in the future, it's like I, a wicked person, delayed you......"

Before she finished speaking, her arm was grabbed by Xiao Boyan.

Qingluan angrily raised his hand and slapped him, slapping his face sideways.

Seeing a red palm print on one side of Xiao Boyan's face, Qingluan was also stunned, a little worried that he would fight back in anger.

"Don't mess around!" Xiao Boyan was a little flustered for some reason, so he was slapped by Jianing, holding back his anger, but he still didn't want to let go of her, but he said in his mouth: "Jianing, you have been willful and reckless since you were a child, first you asked for a marriage to break up me and Qingru, and now you want to regret it." You have always done whatever you wanted, manipulating others at a young age, how can there be such a good thing in the world! I'm telling you! You are my Xiao Zhen's wife in this life! Don't want to marry someone else! ”

"You're sick!" Qingluan shook his arm angrily, "Let go!" ”

Seeing Jianing struggling, Xiao Boyan withdrew his hand slightly, but the person still stood at the intersection and couldn't help but want to explain to her:

"I'm innocent with Qingru, don't slander people's reputation."

"Dirty people's reputation? Scold! Qingluan sneered. The two of them have been sticking together in the smoke pavilion, a lonely man and a widow, this guy is really embarrassed to open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"You even said that I broke up you and Fang Qingru? Xiao Zhen! Say this with a touch of your conscience! When my uncle gave you the marriage, he asked you what you meant, if you don't want to, how can he make a decree? ”

Look at this guy with a grievance, as if he and his uncle really persecuted him, I really don't know what to say!

Xiao Boyan paused, closed his eyes, and hid the embarrassment and depression in his heart.

At that time, he really wanted to refuse the marriage, but when he thought that he was about to go to the western frontier and lead the troops under Wei Dehou, if he had a relationship with him, it would definitely make Wei Dehou value himself a little bit, and it would be convenient for him to act...... So, he agreed to the marriage without hesitation.

However, now when he thinks of really breaking off the marriage contract with Jianing, he feels a pain in his heart, and it seems that there is always something that makes him unwilling.

Xiao Boyan rubbed his eyebrows, and said in a slow voice: "Jianing, Fang is not right, I shouldn't say that kind of thing......"

Qingluan sneered: "Xiao Hou is impressive, since you think I broke up you and Fang Qingru, why don't we correct our mistakes and go to Emperor Yuming's uncle to cancel this family business, I promise, uncle he will be happy to see it happen." ”

Xiao Boyan forcibly suppressed his anger when he heard this, and said slowly: "Jianing, don't make trouble, since we have already made a marriage, we will not be easily banned." ”

Qingluan sneered, "You also said that I am used to playing with people, and I will tell you now that if you betray first, our family affairs will be null and void!" It's useless if you don't agree! ”

Thinking that he and Fang Qingru didn't know what to do in the Yan Pavilion just now, Qingluan suddenly felt disgusted in his heart.

"Get out of the way!" Qingluan raised her chin and stared at him coldly.

Xiao Boyan squinted, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What did you do in Qizhou last time?" ”

"Where I like to go, what's your business!"

Xiao Boyan pinched his fingers and endured it, but finally sneered and turned to leave.

Qingluan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he was finally gone, and hurriedly ran to and from the road with the corner of her skirt.

knew that Fang Qingru was here to have a tryst with this guy, so she didn't come, not to mention the anger that caused her to make a fuss, as if she was deliberately coming to catch them.

From a distance, I saw that Chaoyang was looking forward to this side, and when I saw her appear, I waved at her, "Jianing!" Where have you been? Why is it delayed for so long? ”

"Where's Aunt Zhu?" Qingluan looked left and right, but didn't see Zhu Niang.

"Now, talk to her old acquaintance over there." Chaoyang patted the mud marks on the skirt behind his buttocks, "It's almost auspicious, we have to go to the Cheng'en Hall to pay respects to Your Majesty." ”

……

In the Cheng'en Palace, the emperor and the empress sit on the throne of the platform, and there are delicacies on the dragon table in front of them.

In the center of the hall, more than a dozen fairy-clothed dancers danced, and the civil and military courtiers on both sides looked fascinated.

The county lord of Chaoyang smiled and said, "Look, there are a lot of beautiful gentlemen at today's banquet." ”

Qingluan pointed along her chin and looked over, and sure enough, there were several young officials sitting on the opposite table, all of them handsome and extraordinary.

However, she saw a very familiar person in the other group.

Yue is not hurt? How did he get into the palace?

Qingluan's face changed, and he couldn't help but look at the several officials sitting around him, all of whom he didn't know.

I saw Yue Wuxian wearing a round neck red brocade robe, with seven things tied around his waist, wearing a soap gauze hat, sitting cross-legged behind the desk, talking softly and laughing with the officials around him.

"Mother, do you know the person in red across from you?" Qingluan couldn't help but lean over and ask the eldest princess in the seat.

The eldest princess raised her eyes and looked over, and said lightly: "I don't know." However, there are a few people who are deputy envoys of the southern Xinjiang states, and it is almost the end of the year, and those few must be foreign officials who sent taxes and silver tribute grain to Beijing. ”

Qingluan wondered: This is strange, Yue Wuxian's style is similar to that of a court official, saying that he is an assassin killer. Besides, which court official would dare to go to the realm of the vassal king to assassinate him privately?

He is so bold, knowing that he knows him, he still dares to sit at the banquet of the Son of Heaven, so he is not afraid that she will denounce him and arrest him and put him in prison?

It's not that he doesn't know that he actually knows his identity well. Maybe Xiao Luo didn't tell him the truth?

Also, what is Yue Wuxian's identity? What is the purpose of fighting so hotly with the envoys of various states in southern Xinjiang?

Qingluan's stomach was unsolved, and he couldn't help but look at the other side frequently, and finally attracted Yue Wuwu's attention.

I saw a smile on the corner of his mouth, holding the wine bottle in one hand and wishing her a distant return.

Qingluan's face darkened, and he turned his head to look away.

At this time, the dancers retreated, and Yigong'e entered the dance floor with a paulownia lyre, placed the piano on a piano stand and bowed out.

Subsequently, a beautiful woman with a high uphead and lotus dress like a fairy came and bowed down to the emperor, "Courtier Fang Qingru congratulates Sheng'an, may Your Majesty daylily evergreen, immortal longevity Hengchang, long live my emperor, long live!" ”

Qingluan was stunned. What the hell is Fang Qingru dressed up like this? unexpectedly appeared alone to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

She hurriedly looked at the emperor's uncle on the emperor's throne.

The throne of Emperor Que was a little far away from the seat below, and she didn't see her uncle's expression clearly for a while, but she swept to Xiao Boyan's face opposite.

The guy also stared at Fang Qingru with a worried face, his brows suddenly frowned, and there were faint red marks on half of his face.
