Lin Xiao and Yu Zijin left Broken Yuzhai, but they were no longer there.

"By the way, why did you come to investigate the case with Yingjiu?" It stands to reason that Ying Jiu, as a general, is sent by the top to be common sense, but Lin Xiao is often in the rivers and lakes, and he does not have an official position in the court, but it gives people a feeling of private visits, Yu Zijin can't help but wonder.

"I entered the palace that day and was entrusted by His Royal Highness the Prince." The corners of Lin Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and she looked at Yu Zijin with a smile, "You think, an idler like me, with the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on top, you don't have to worry about offending which powerful party, it is the most convenient to act." ”

"I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees that you have nothing to do all day, so find some excuse to send you away, and be complacent." Seeing Lin Xiao's proud appearance of being favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, Yu Zijin couldn't help but say a word.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's expression seemed to change, and her voice sank, "We are also friends who share hardships, why did you help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak before you entered the door?" Don't you look down on His Royal Highness the Prince's high position and power, and look down on me, a small people? ”

Lin Xiao's words carried a hint of vinegar, and Yu Zijin was slightly startled, and was dumbfounded for a moment. But after a while, I was relieved, "I have never met the prince, and I don't know if he is round and flat, so how can he speak for him."

Besides, this marriage has not yet been decided, and I have no idea about the position of the crown princess who seems to be fragrant. Maybe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not optimistic about this marriage. In this way, the guesses of others are just a bubble. ”

"You are the daughter of Yu Feng, the god of war in the East Qi, your father holds the power of the army, and your mother has the power of Lingzhuang in the rivers and lakes, for the prince, there is a hundred benefits and no harm, do you think he is not optimistic?

In addition, the moon concubine is a favorite, and now there is a moon concubine, do you still think you can escape this marriage? Lin Xiao's expression eased, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes. Although Yu Zijin has been trying her best to escape, after all, this is the era of the supremacy of imperial power, and when a holy decree comes down, she can't help it.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Zijin suddenly became a little anxious, "But I really don't like the so-called prince, not to mention how others are, just because he is the prince, he will be the emperor in the future, and it is inevitable that the three palaces and six courts will be in the end, is it inevitable that I Yu Zijin will end up competing with a group of women?" ”

"This is the king's trick to gain power, weighing the pros and cons, and it is not necessarily what the prince wants. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats you sincerely, are you still unwilling? Lin Xiao's expression darkened slightly.

"If you don't love these women, why delay their good years, is it just for the rights of those ten thousand?" Yu Zijin frowned, a little annoyed by Lin Xiao's incomprehension, "Why do you always help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince speak today, is it possible that you also want me to marry into the palace?" ”

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment, his expression evaded, but his heart was churning.

"Forget it, I understand what you mean, the emperor's order is hard to disobey, I know it in my heart." Not as strong as before, Yu Zijin smiled indifferently, and after adjusting his mood, he raised his voice and said, "The front is Yipinju, don't think so much about being unhappy, let's go, go eat something!" ”

Looking at the cuffs in front of him and running forward, like a person who had nothing to do, in fact, there was a lot of helpless Yu Zijin in his heart, Lin Xiao only felt a slight pain in his heart.

Indeed, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, but it is the will of heaven......

"Brother!" Suddenly, in the wing room on the second floor of Yipinju, there was a cry of joy from a young girl.

Lin Xiao raised her eyes when she heard the sound, and saw a woman dressed in a goose-yellow delicate riding costume, her long black hair was only tied up with a hairband of the same color, and there were no complicated patterns on her body, refreshing but not losing her vitality.

Behind the girl, a moon-white figure slowly walked, and the two butterfly wings shook gently in her ears. When he saw the two of them, he did not show surprised eyes, but blessed his body gently and dignifiedly.

Seeing Lin Xiao walking towards the wing room where the two of them were, Yu Zijin paused slightly, glanced at the girls with different styles upstairs, pursed his lips, and slowly followed behind Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao has seen Princess Xinlan." Lin Xiao leaned over slightly and clenched his fists. Seeing this, Yu Zijin also followed Lin Xiaofu to bless his body.

"Brother Lin Xiao is polite, let's be a family and don't talk about two families, come and sit." It seemed that he couldn't see these red tapes, and without waiting for Lin Xiao to complete the number of courtesies, Chu Xinlan walked quickly, pulled Lin Xiao over, and took him to the seat.

After everyone sat down, Yu Zijin raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him. The simple woman wearing a goose yellow riding uniform is the princess Xinlan in Lin Xiao's mouth, Chu Xinlan.

I heard my mother mention it earlier, this princess Xinlan in the palace is deeply loved, and she has lived the most freely since she was a child, no more careful than the intrigue in the palace, Chu Xinlan is straightforward, and never twists on the people or things she likes.

After hearing this, Yu Zijin had the meaning of making friends, and felt that this Princess Xinlan was probably the same as Bai Lishan, and the two of them should have a very good appetite. It's a pity that at the palace banquet yesterday, Chu Xinlan did not attend due to physical discomfort.

But now it seems that there is something unhappy about it, obviously relying on the emperor's favor, and escaped a very boring family banquet with a high-sounding sound. Yu Zijin was suddenly happy, but he met a like-minded person.

And the woman wearing a moon-white skirt on the side is not as jumpy as Chu Xinlan, the whole person exudes a natural graceful atmosphere, and her smile is full of charm, and she knows at first sight that she is an official woman with a good family education.

"My name is Su Ruolian, are you?" As if she had found Yu Zijin's gaze, Su Ruolian was not embarrassed, raised her hand to cover the corners of her lips, and smiled slightly.

"My name is Yu Zijin." Such a girl always has an irresistible charm. Even Yu Zijin, who is also a woman, can't help but smack his tongue secretly.

"It turned out to be the county lord of Yu, if you often heard people praise the county lord earlier, you are graceful and moving, and when you see it today, it is indeed a country and a city. But Ruo Pian felt that it was said to be graceful and moving, but it wiped the unique aura of the county lord, and it seemed more appropriate to say that it was smart and lovely. Su Ruolian's voice was sweet and full of words.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Zijin felt that this Su Ruolian was very transparent. Since she was a child, many people who have never been in contact with her, for the purpose of praise, always have to talk about the gentle manners of ordinary women imposed on her.

If that's the case, it's fine, but she Yu Zijin doesn't have a place on her body to match these words, and after hearing so much, her ears are calloused.

Now listening to Su Ruolian say this, it is refreshing, although it is also a polite compliment, it makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

"Miss Su praised it falsely." Yu Zijin smiled back.

The breeze blew from the windowsill, causing the bead chains on the door to dance softly.

"By the way, I heard that you are going to marry the prince's brother in the future, so let's say that we are a family, sister-in-law, don't see outside." Chu Xinlan greeted familiarly, and as he spoke, he peeked at Lin Xiao, who was sipping tea with low eyes.

"I guess my sister-in-law hasn't seen the prince's brother yet, right?" Chu Xinlan leaned over and approached Yu Zijin, with a mysterious look, "The prince's brother is the first genius in the Eastern Qi, and he is not bad at talking about poetry and Taoism, and when he was twelve years old, he wrote a "Wealth of Nations", which shocked the court at that time.

Of course, don't think that the prince's brother will only do this elegant thing on paper, when he was not yet fourteen, he led the army to defeat the 100,000 army of Western Qin, and the day of triumph was the day of the fourteenth birthday banquet, and the whole court clapped their hands and praised.

When the Western Qin was defeated, but the thief was not dead, and wanted to unite with the Nanyue Kingdom to attack our dynasty, it was the prince's brother who repaired the country to write a letter to Nanyue, and persuaded the Nanyue Kingdom to avoid a disaster without spending a single soldier, you say that it is not powerful! ”

Chu Xinlan looked like he was selling good things, his small mouth opened and closed, like an old man telling stories on the stage, his voice was full of emotion, so cute.

Seeing that Yu Zijin seemed to be smiling, Chu Xinlan was a little anxious, "Don't believe it, you go to the street and ask around, who didn't say that!" ”

With a flushed face, he looked like a baby at home, questioned by outsiders, and hurriedly raised his voice to defend himself.

Chu Xinlan originally disdained the whispering of the official woman, thinking that he had lowered his voice, but in fact, every word fell into Lin Xiao's ears, and he couldn't help choking on the tea, and couldn't stop coughing in a low voice.

"The princess said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good, what are your ears red about?" Seeing Lin Xiao's embarrassed appearance with red cheeks, Yu Zijin seemed to have discovered something wonderful, and couldn't help but ridicule.

"It's just that I've never heard of a sister like this, and I'm a little shocked to introduce her brother like this." Lin Xiao touched the tip of her nose lightly, staggered her gaze from Yu Zijin, looked at Chu Xinlan, who was smiling triumphantly, sighed helplessly, and then straightened her expression, and looked indifferent.

On the other hand, Su Ruolian, although she has never seen Lin Xiao since she was a child, she has always seen that she has always been bright and clear, arrogant and high-minded, but she has never seen him in such embarrassment, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"The county lord doesn't know, Xinlan likes to praise her prince brother among our sisters the most, three times to speak, three times different, you just get used to it." Su Ruolian still had the appearance of hiding her face and smiling, and her words relieved Lin Xiao's embarrassment.

"I knew you would say that, always like to tear down my platform. I see you, it's better to get married early. Chu Xinlan raised his voice and quipped, "I think the seventh brother is good, he is a graceful person, although he is not as good as the prince's brother, but in Dongqi, he is also one of the best." ”

Hearing this, Su Ruolian's face turned red, and she raised her hand to hide her face with slight disgust, "Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, Xinlan, what are you talking nonsense." ”

"That's not right for you, if you like it, go for it. The person you want to spend the rest of your life with is you, if you don't like it, then what kind of family will you become! Chu Xinlan pouted and expressed dissatisfaction.

Su Ruolian didn't answer anymore, and glanced in Lin Xiao's direction unintentionally, bowed her head slightly, and hid the emotions on her face.

And this small action happened to be captured by Yu Zijin.

Su Ruolian, like Lin Xiao?
