Qingluan took the jade beads and purple jade and took a sedan chair from the back corner door of the princess's mansion to the Xianwang Mansion.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of King Xian's mansion, I saw a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

All kinds of chariots, horses, cattle and mules were parked in the open space in front of the mansion, and the servants, coachmen, and sedan chairmen of each prefecture performed their duties, sitting or standing, and those who knew each other greeted each other, and it was even more lively than the Xiji Horse Market.

As soon as Qingluan got off the sedan chair, someone shouted at her: "Jianing! ”

When I looked up, a tall and sturdy little girl wearing a fiery red beard and her hair tied with a jade crown and golden hairpin on the top of her head ran over with long legs.

"Chaoyang?" Qingluan almost couldn't recognize the girl in front of her, with a slightly black goose egg face, plump lips, big and black eyes, and curly and thick eyelashes, it was not Li Pei, the county lord of Chaoyang.

"You're here." Chaoyang slapped his palm on Qingluan's shoulder and grinned.

The strength was so great that Qingluan twitched the corners of his mouth.

She remembered that the county lord of Chaoyang, who was a few months younger than her, had robbed a handsome man who came to the capital to take the exam last year and wanted to bring it back to the palace, but he knew that this man was a fierce man, and jumped directly into the moat and drowned.

The emperor was furious and sealed the Xianwang Mansion for a year, and the county lord of Chaoyang sent him to the imperial tomb to repent and atone for his sins.

However, why did the county lord of Chaoyang come back so soon? This made Qingluan puzzled.

In her previous life, she never saw the county lord of Chaoyang again until she died.

It stands to reason that the county lord of Chaoyang should stay in the imperial tomb for the ancestors for the rest of his life, who told the emperor to let her come back?

Come back, come back, and hold a grand ceremony, look at this posture, it is a banquet for the whole capital's family, whose eyeballs are this poking?

Of course, if it was before, Qingluan would not care about these, but in a few years, the Great Qian Dynasty will perish, it is the descendants of the Xiao family~ Xiao Zhen Xiao Boyan inherited the unification.

It turns out that a long time ago, these Li royal families and princes had already begun to show a decline in losing the hearts of the people? Or, there is an invisible hand that has been pushing the Li royal family towards the abyss.

Chaoyang was very excited to see Qingluan, and pulled her back: "I wanted to go to you for a long time, but my mother didn't allow it." ”

Qingluan also smiled, exchanged a few words with her, and then entered the palace with her arm.

Qingluan glanced at the guests, most of them were old friends of Li Liushizi and the county lord of Chaoyang, and few of them were serious and promising, all of them were sons and daughters of dogs and horses.

However, several vassal kings who lived in the capital were also among them, and there were also some inconspicuous official ladies.

"Why hasn't Li Lan arrived yet?" The county lord of Chaoyang was talking to Qingluan, and suddenly muttered a sentence.

When they were young, the county lord of Chaoyang and Li Lan both liked to follow Qingluan to swagger through the city, and they got along with each other very well. But the temperaments of the three of them are very different.

Li Lan is as careful as a hair, cowardly and excessive, but the county lord of Chaoyang is bold and rude, and can even laugh at a beautiful boy on the street.

Qingluan thinks that she is much more stable than the two of them, and she is also easy to teach.

But in the eyes of outsiders, they are not on the stage, the so-called nest of snakes and rats, and the alternative wonders among the nobles in the capital.

Cough...... In fact, it is.

"It's almost there." Qingluan said, his eyes facing Li Wen in the noble son.

"Brother Wen." She waved at him.

Li Wen smiled lightly and nodded at her.

Sun Li, who was standing next to Li Wen, rolled his eyes, moved his steps, deliberately blocked Li Wen's face, and threw his back to Qingluan.

"This Sun Li, he will be honest if he beats him up in Ming'er." The county lord of Chaoyang grinned lightly.

Qingluan glanced at her, and obviously felt that Chaoyang's temperament seemed to be much more restrained than before.

If she had left it before, she would probably rush to Sun Li and pinch his ear.

It seems that after being sent to the ancestral tomb for a year, he has gained a lot in the end.

The lord of Chaoyang County led Jianing to the inner courtyard to meet Princess Xian first.

Along the way, I saw that the water pavilion hall in the inner courtyard of the palace was a little damaged, and some of the red lacquer pillars were peeled off, revealing patches of gray and white mottled; The roof tiles have dark green weeds, which have not been removed, which is very different from the flowers in the front hall of the outer courtyard.

Entering the flower hall of the inner courtyard, sitting inside were several elegant ladies and ladies of the family, who were eating tea and talking with Princess Xian.

Qingluan saw Princess Xian, and saw Xiao Yan sitting on the side of the lower head at a glance.

Next to her sat a young lady in a plain Luo skirt, it was Fang Qingru.

Xiao Yan held the shelf, didn't look at Jianing, and drank tea with a tea cup by herself, but it was Fang Qingru who bowed to her slightly.

Qingluan sat down opposite Xiao Yan, looking at her slightly stiff pretty face, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

This Miss Xiao was taught a lesson by her last time, in the end, she is a lot more honest, and the so-called people are afraid of ruthless ghosts and evil, which is not false at all.

I remember that as long as I saw her on any occasion in my previous life, this person would preach a few words in front of everyone, so that everyone in the capital would know that she was the county lord of Jianing, a woman who was not ashamed and had a dead face on her Xiao family.

Today is really rare, Miss Xiao didn't open her mouth, it turns out that she also has times when she is afraid, and she doesn't even dare to look at herself.

The county lord of Chaoyang was also very restrained in front of his mother-in-law, pouring two cups of tea in a row, and his eyes kept glancing at Princess Xian.

Princess Xian and the ladies talked for a while, and several unmarried ladies were listening, and they couldn't interject at all, although their expressions were indifferent, they could also see boredom in their eyes.

Princess Xian smiled and said, "Chaoyang will take you ladies to the garden to play, you don't have to spend time here with us old women." ”

When Chaoyang heard this, he couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly pulled Qingluan to say goodbye to the princess: "The boy went." ”

Princess Xian smiled lightly, "Go ahead." ”

So, Chaoyang took Qingluan and a group of ladies to the front yard garden.

King Xian is a ridiculous person, and Princess Xian has never been salty or indifferent to his affairs.

The banquet was not divided into east and west tables for men and women, but only in the Wangfu Racecourse around the cloth curtain, spread out the red carpet, set up more than a dozen tables, and separated two red lacquer carved wooden screens, which were counted as the places for banquet guests.

The princess and the ladies would not dine here, but would have a separate table in the flower hall.

Before the banquet began, the ladies and ladies of the various provinces were throwing pots and gambling in the garden and the martial arts training ground, or watching cockfighting and running dogs.

The county lord of Chaoyang pulled Qingluan to go to see the cockfight, because there were many sons around, so he pulled them and shouted: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! I'm going to press the lottery! ”

Fortunately, those teenagers all knew Chaoyang, and they were not unhappy, so they dodged and let the two of them in.

In the middle of the crowd, two red-crested roosters with fried feathers were fighting each other, their feathers splashing, their heads covered in blood, the crown on their tops was also broken, and the black and red feathers were stained with some blood.

"Bite! Bite! Bite it! ”

"Quick! Bite it! ”

"Oops! What a! Feelings are a waste......"

The teenagers were noisy and noisy.

Qingluan didn't like these cockfights and dogfights very much, and just thought it was too boring to let them bite each other senselessly.

The county lord of Chaoyang was very excited, and shouted: "I want to press ten taels of color!" Just press this golden neck! ”
