Chapter 370: The Most Troublesome Stranger
Maybe it's because of the New Year, everything is so festive and happy, and no one wants to make themselves unhappy at this time.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Yixing and Xuanyuan Yichen, the two brothers, one does not want to see each other, and the other does not want to go, such a solution is also to live a peaceful life for the time being, which is exactly in line with the wishes of both parties.
Needless to say, the bustle of the palace is that the largest palace has the largest number of people living and enjoying the best life. At the same time, although the Xianwang Mansion is not as grand and lively as in this palace, it will not be much worse.
Although at this time, the entire Xianwang Mansion was closed to lively themselves, but compared with previous years, plus this year, there were fewer than a dozen concubines and later twenty beauties, but it was more relaxed.
Such a day is so comfortable and comfortable, it is a rare sweet and happy time for Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan to live together.
Liu Qingyan and Xuanyuan Yichen recalled in their minds at this time all the scenes of these days of leisure and happiness, even if they just stayed quietly with each other, talked casually, and talked about the interesting things they encountered, they would feel very happy.
But maybe everything came too beautifully, too naturally, and it actually made Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan sink deeply into it, so that they both ignored the fact that the outside was still a very unpeaceful world and it was very unfavorable to them for the time being.
Although at this time, they hid themselves and closed themselves, living in their rare two-person world like this, and they were completely reluctant to end this period of life they longed for.
But reluctance is just the idea of the two of them, but it doesn't mean that the outside world will let them go so easily and stop coming to them for trouble.
In general, reality is far from the nemesis you yearn for, and when you have too much hope for it, it may pour cold water on you at any time, dousing all your illusions and expectations.
So on days like this, the more Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan feel how beautiful and carefree they are, the more they are destined to last long.
Although the capital has been surging under the undercurrent for a long time, it seems to have slowly become calm, and the wind and waves are calm, which makes people let go of all their defenses against it.
But everyone knows that at this time, as long as a small pebble is thrown on the surface of this seemingly calm lake, it will immediately lead to a big explosion! That's what the calm before the storm is all about, right? It's hard to guard against.
And this New Year has just passed, and there is news that on the border, a large number of chariots and horses are approaching Daliangguo.
However, they came this time, not to fight, but because last year, immediately after the Li country, the Mongolian country also launched a war to attack the Daliang country, probably to form a joint encirclement with the Li country, so that the Daliang country was overwhelmed by the enemy on both sides.
At the beginning, it did achieve the results that these two countries wanted, but after all, they still underestimated the strength that Daliangguo had as the head of the Three Kingdoms and had done it for so many years, because the reason why Daliangguo was the head of the Three Kingdoms could not be defeated so easily.
As a result, after the Liguo Kingdom had achieved very disastrous defeats in the Three Kingdoms Martial Arts Competition and the war on the border, Mongolia of course returned with a crushing defeat.
However, compared to Liguo, it is also a failure. The Mongol Kingdom was obviously more satisfied in the face of defeat, and shortly after that he sent a surrender table to show his respect and admiration for the defeat.
And this time, the Mongolian State sent a peace letter and a variety of rich gift lists to Daliangguo as early as possible.
This time, they came all the way to Daliangguo, of course, to seek peace.
And this time, the Mongolian country that came to Daliang Country is to show their sincerity from the heart, and they have made great efforts!
And the person who led the Mongolian team to Daliang this time was none other than the crown prince of Mongolia, and there was a princess who came with him.
Besides, of course, this princess is here to kiss, but I don't know if they are playing tricks, in short, it has not been found out whether this princess is here to be a princess, and the news from Mongolia does not clearly state who this princess is going to come to kiss, so everyone looks at it in a fog.
However, judging from the posture of the prince leading the team and the princess arriving on the side, the most likely one for this princess to be close this time is, of course, the supreme emperor.
So, before this person arrived, the people in the palace were still immersed in the joy of the New Year, and on the other hand, they found a new and lively topic to discuss.
And this lively center is nothing more than two people, one of the people who can become the center of the topic in this palace is the emperor, and the other is of course the noble concubine!
On this day, the carrier pigeon received by Xuanyuan Yichen conveyed the news that the people of Mongolia were about to arrive in the capital today, and the people in the palace had already made comprehensive arrangements in the palace, just waiting for their arrival to let them live in the palace for a while.
Not long after, Xuanyuan Yichen directly received the news from the palace, but he didn't just let him know, but informed the palace that there were still concubines, officials and others in the capital, and a banquet would be held tomorrow night to welcome the arrival of the prince and princess of Mengguo!
For this, Xuanyuan Yichen is quite unhappy, who is the prince of Mengguo, he knows it clearly in his heart, and it is still a memory! Very! Profound!
However, Xuanyuan Yichen thought that he would not have any chance to meet him again since that time, but he didn't expect that after such a short period of time, the other party actually came to the capital again.
Xuanyuan Yichen kept thinking, how should tomorrow's banquet be? In the end, thinking that if he didn't have a banquet tomorrow night, he would continue to stop going on the grounds that he and Liu Qingyan were unwell, right? Ideas have been appearing in Xuanyuan Yichen's mind like this.
Even if this excuse can't be passed, then let him go alone, anyway, whether Liu Qingyan goes or not will not have much to do with the entire banquet, but it definitely has a lot to do with whether he goes or not!
However, Xuanyuan Yichen was a little happy that he had thought of this good way, but he soon had to realize very unhappily that even if he could cut off the meeting between this person and Liu Qingyan tomorrow night, he was afraid that it would only be a matter of time before he wanted to find his own house.
And even if he can prevent him from entering his palace, he still can't guarantee that he will not be able to meet Liu Qingyan through other methods and channels.
At that time, I don't know what this man is going to say that makes him very unhappy. No matter how he thinks about it now, he feels that this matter is inevitable, even if he racks his brains to find a way, it seems that it can't be avoided, eh! What should come will always come!
Eh, he was still thinking about spending a few more days of comfort and leisure with Liu Qingyan, why did this God treat him like this? These annoying things are really one after another! When will it end?!
Seeing Xuanyuan Yichen sitting beside him silently sulking, and he could even hear him sighing silently in his heart.
Seeing this, Liu Qingyan felt angry and funny, Xuanyuan Yichen really didn't have any defenses in front of her, which made her feel very happy, but he sat in front of him like this, sulking like a child, which suddenly made Liu Qingyan feel like crying and laughing.
Although the invitation to tomorrow night's banquet has been delivered, she, like Xuanyuan Yichen, actually doesn't want to participate in it.
It's just that the reason why Liu Qingyan doesn't want to go is completely different from what Xuanyuan Yichen thought in his heart, Xuanyuan Yichen didn't want to let him see the prince of Mongolia, if he remembered correctly, he should be called Li Qian.
And Liu Qingyan herself, if it were usual, she would still be very interested and confident to break through, but now it is different from the past, she is pregnant, and her internal strength, reaction, speed and even feeling have decreased a lot.
Since Sun Bao's incident, Liu Qingyan didn't dare to take any risks, or do something even if she had the slightest thing to do to herself, she was unwilling to go.
And the body of Xuanyuan Yichen around him is what he has been worried about, and now with the two of them, he can simply become a member of the vulnerable group of "remnants and weak generals".
So now, even if it's just a very simple guest dinner, and by the way, doing good songs and dancing is enough for their current physical condition, it is enough to toss the two of them.
Not to mention that almost all of the people present at the dinner party in the evening were not their enemies, that is, people who would add all kinds of troubles and all kinds of anger to them.
So Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan thought about it, and this banquet in the palace at night was really not suitable for the two of them, so in the end, the two of them thought the same way, it was better to stay in their own palace honestly It was the safest and best choice!
As for the reason for not going or the excuse for refusal, you don't have to think about it at all, that's it.
Although they themselves feel very bored or even embarrassed to say such excuses, and the others basically don't believe it anymore.
It's just that even if other people are too lazy to believe it and don't bother to question it, but thinking about it, this is indeed the most suitable excuse.
Besides, in fact, this excuse is not so fake, the health of the two of them is indeed very bad, and since Xuanyuan Yichen had an accident at the ancestor worship ceremony that day, it is also a well-known thing.
So, after reading this invitation, these two people didn't say a word, not even a single eye contact, they had already made up their minds, and the results of these two people were unprecedentedly consistent!! Should it be said that these two people have a tacit understanding? Or is it black?!
It's just that although this idea has been decided, they still can't guarantee what action Li Qian, the crown prince of Mongolia, will take in the face of such a move.
However, for this point, Xuanyuan Yichen is really a little troubled, but Liu Qingyan is a little helpless, this helplessness is for the prince of Mengguo, and it is also for Xuanyuan Yichen!
At this time, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were sitting around the fireplace, and both of them were wearing thick impermeable coats.
Just drinking hot tea, eating all kinds of delicate and delicious pastries, and then having some poetry and book books at hand, just like that, from time to time to look at a few glances, or chat with each other.
Looking up and looking outside through the closed window paper, the sky was already getting darker before I knew it.
It's late winter and early spring, the days are short and the nights are long, the hour is actually early, and it's not even time for dinner, but the sky is getting dark very quickly, and today is not a good weather for the sun, so it is even more early into the twilight.
Just when Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan thought that today would be another day to spend peacefully, without wind and waves.
The first junior high school who was originally outside ran in in a panic, but fortunately, the fifteenth who was standing by the door was not slow to react, otherwise he would have rushed to the current speed of the first junior high and the degree of his recklessness, but I was afraid that he would have broken through the door directly without even knocking on the door.
And Fifteen just opened the door when he ran out of the door on the first day of junior high school, so that he could run in unimpeded without any worries.
