Side Story 3
Xia Ling'er soon arrived at the martial arts training ground.
The emperor came early after the emperor's court.
There was just another man she hadn't seen before.
Dressed in a blue back, a gorgeous satin brocade dress, with crowned hair rolled high, and a tall figure.
Standing side by side with the emperor, he was drawing a bow and shooting arrows.
Xia Ling'er walked straight behind the emperor and called "Brother Huang".
The two of them turned their heads to look at Xia Ling'er together.
"Well, Ling'er is here." The emperor said lightly.
Another man also took the emperor's words and said, "Presumably this is Princess Xia Ling'er." Sure enough, it is charming and glamorous. ”
Did all ancient men praise beautiful women like this? How to make people feel like they are in the snow.
Xia Ling'er coldly skimmed at him.
With distinct facial features, dark and deep eyes, wild and uninhibited, evil and sexy, he is really a swinger.
"Ling'er, this is Mu Yichen, known as Mu Xiaowangye. Even if it's one of my rare confidants and friends, and the only one, you should be called 'brother'. The emperor introduced to Xia Ling'er.
Xia Ling'er stared straight at Mu Yichen and didn't speak.
Mu Yichen smiled disapprovingly, and said: "'Brother', I can't afford it, and the so-called prince is also joking." The princess is the golden branch and jade leaf, and the name is it. ”
Xia Ling'er felt that he was gestured, and his words and demeanor were full of ruffianism.
I can't get used to this kind of man.
Once again, it was confirmed that he was indeed a merry boy who was in the flow.
Xia Ling'er still didn't speak, she had no intention of talking to him, and she didn't bother to talk to him.
Rao is Mu Yichen is patient, to be precise, he is very patient with women.
Even though he saw the princess's dislike and disdain for him, he still communicated with the princess with a good attitude.
"I heard the emperor say that the princess also likes to ride horses and shoot arrows like men, it seems that she is a heroine among women." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed over his bow and arrows.
In fact, she did go to some modern clubs to ride horses a few times, but as for archery, she did not even see a bow and arrow with her own eyes.
The reason why she said that to the emperor that day was completely a strategy, she just wanted the emperor to understand that she didn't want to return to the palace to be restrained by "inhuman" and treated "inhuman". I am even more afraid that the emperor will be ignored because she is a woman, and then because of the preference for sons, as the so-called, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.
But the word had already spread, not to mention that the bow and arrow had been handed over, so I had to reach out and catch it.
However, Xia Ling'er also seemed calm.
This is also her usual style, calm in advance.
Of course, this also requires a strong heart.
Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? For the action of archery, just watching TV is already very familiar.
It's just that the bow is really heavy.
Xia Ling'er searched for the correct posture for archery in her mind, thinking that she had done it perfectly, so she let go of the arrow on the bowstring.
However......
Xia Ling'er couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The arrow, nearly half a distance from the target, landed gorgeously.
Poof......
Mu Yichen has tried her best to endure it, but it is too ridiculous, she couldn't help laughing out loud a few times, if she wasn't a princess, I'm afraid that Mu Xiaowang would be able to laugh now.
Mu Yichen's ridicule made Xia Ling'er's frustration just now gradually turn into anger.
"It seems that the princess is joking with the emperor, where is the princess a martial artist's rough hand, I think it is more suitable for the princess to play qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is better to ride a horse and shoot arrows......"
Xia Ling'er couldn't get used to him, just laughing sarcastically, but now it was blatant verbal teasing.
Xia Ling'er was not angry, and she didn't say anything back to him, but she picked up another arrow steadily, still setting up the posture she thought was perfect.
The emperor looked at the defeated sister in front of him blankly, and Mu Yichen sneered disapprovingly in his heart: "It's really stubborn!" I really thought I could be both literate and martial! ”
But no one thought of it.
Xia Ling'er turned to one side arrogantly and aimed the arrow at Mu Yichen's heart.
That's all you talk about, don't you?
You know everything, don't you?
And then what?
Xia Ling'er's eyes were like cold stars, she looked at Mu Yichen coldly, a wicked smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and she looked at her strangely, as if she also had the intention of mocking.
Why didn't you say it?
Although Mu Yichen was surprised, he was not out of shape, his name as Mu Xiaowang was unknown to everyone in Jinling, and he had never been teased by any kind of woman.
No, no, what kind of woman has not been seen.
I'm afraid that there are knives and swords against her.
"Good posture, princess! ...... "It's really a shame!
"Ling'er? Don't mess around. The emperor shouted.
Xia Ling'er didn't seem to hear the emperor's words.
"Mu Xiaowangye, right? I said I like to ride and shoot archery, but I didn't say I would ......."
"Since you just like it, then it's up to us men to fight on the battlefield, so why bother yourself?" Mu Yichen had an evil smile on his face, it seemed that he was really a young man who was not romantic!
Xia Ling'er looked at him and squinted and smiled: "Step back." ”
It turns out that princesses can be so charming.
I'm afraid that Mu Yichen's heart will also be crisp at this time, so he obediently took a few steps back, and raised his hands lightly.
Let each other relax a bit.
"How many steps back?"
"You see, I don't have the strength, I can shoot you with an arrow."
Mu Yichen nodded, retreated about two meters away, stopped, and stood still.
At this time, a beautiful and enchanting woman walked over with a panicked expression, grabbed Mu Yichen's arm, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the prince?" ”
"It's okay, ma'am, play with the princess." Mu Yichen was really not stunned at all, and he was not shocked.
It turns out that he still has his wife, and it seems that the relationship with the emperor is indeed unusual.
This is Mu Yichen's fifth lady, who is a pet, so she often takes her with her, and is watching the battle from a distance, plus resting, and finds that the princess has been holding a bow and arrow at her beloved man, so she naturally wants to step forward to find out why.
"Ling'er, it's almost done." The emperor persuaded again, though he was sure that she must be joking.
"Little Prince Mu had better keep your wife away, this is the first time I have taken this bow and arrow, so as not to hurt your wife."
Mu Yichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, and pushed his wife away.
Xia Ling'er also smiled at him, pretty.
"Whoosh............"
Sister, I learned to shoot, and my marksmanship is very accurate.
It seems that archery and shooting are the same, as long as you aim.
Mu Xiaowangye's fifth lady saw an arrow pass through Mu Yichen's body and fly in front of her eyes, and she screamed in fright, and her face was pale.
The emperor also looked panicked and looked at Mu Yichen.
Xia Ling'er was much more relaxed, and she was indeed relieved, she shot very accurately, impartially, and just passed through the gap between Mu Yichen's arms and body. Mu Yichen raised his arm and glanced at the torn cut in his clothes. Looking at the appearance, there is no trace of palpitations, and the heartbeat should be accelerated! "It seems that I really underestimated the princess." Mu Yichen said lightly. Xia Ling'er didn't pay any attention to Mu Yichen, put down her bow and arrow and looked at the emperor, who was looking at her with displeasure, it seemed that he was angry. Xia Ling'er immediately stepped forward to hold the emperor's arm, and said with a smile: "I just played with him." "It's very quiet. Is it to prevent someone from hearing it? The emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't hurt anyone. Being tossed by Xia Ling'er like this, everyone was in no mood to play anymore, and they all walked towards the rest pavilion, Mu Yichen hugged his trembling fifth lady. When we arrived at the rest pavilion, everyone sat down to drink tea. Xia Ling'er glanced at Mu Yichen and his fifth lady, sneered disdainfully, and looked into the distance. At this time, the emperor motioned for a woman to step forward and said to Xia Ling'er: "This is the person you want, and the martial arts are very good." The last sentence was emphasized. Xia Ling'er looked at this woman, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but be happy. "Really? She's my person from now on? Listen to me alone? Xia Ling'er was in a hurry to confirm, and said in a hurry. The emperor laughed and nodded. "What's your name?" Xia Ling'er asked. "Back to the princess, the slave's name is Lenan." Le Nan replied calmly. "Well, the name is nice and it's beautiful." I just don't know how good martial arts are very good, and whether I should find someone to compare. At this time, Xia Ling'er glanced at Mu Xiaowangye, and her eyes flashed again. said to Le Nan: "You can make two moves with Mu Xiaowang now, so that this princess can open her eyes." "Xia Ling'er is staring at Mu Xiaowangye!" Ling Er ,...... "Princess, the prince doesn't know martial arts......" Before Le Nan could react, the emperor and Mrs. Mu Wu spoke almost at the same time. It looks like it's still an embroidered pillow. I couldn't sit down anymore and suddenly felt like my eyes were all polluted. "Brother Huang, let's talk! I'll take Lenan back first. Xia Ling'er gently saluted and took Le Nan back. After Xia Ling'er left, she looked at Mu Yichen again, shaking her head and disdain. "Your Majesty, are you sure this is your own sister? Didn't you recognize the wrong person? "Mu Yichen seems to be serious and serious at this moment, it seems that he just can't hold it in front of beautiful women! Looking at the flowery and moon-looking Mrs. Mu Wu, she also had a suspicious look on her face, and a frightened expression. "Of course, there is no doubt about it, it is indeed my sister-in-law, my rightful princess." "Where's a little princess? is so brutal and domineering, this must be a Hedong lion's roar! In the future, this attached Marco will be unlucky. Mu Yichen said with a look of disgust, as well as worries about the future of the colt. This little prince Mu is really wide enough. "What nonsense are you talking about?" The emperor shook the stone table twice with a tea bowl as a warning, "She is not usually like this, but today you provoked her first, and you brought it on yourself, so you deserve it." "It's worthy of being my own brother, and I still know how to defend her. Mu Yichen nodded speechlessly for a while, expressing his agreement, he really asked for it. The emperor looked at Mu Yichen and laughed dryly, looked at the shooting range, and said thoughtfully: "But now I do have a difficult matter. "Your Majesty, you know, I never participate in politics, we have a gentleman's agreement, I only have brotherhood with the emperor, but there is no courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and you still don't mention the affairs of the court." Mu Yichen said, his eyes began to dodge and alienate the emperor. The emperor turned his head to look at him, frowned, and said, "When did I mention political affairs to you?" "The emperor joked seriously with him." So why are you so serious? A serious look. Mu Yichen asked rhetorically. Let's take your wife back first! The emperor said to Mrs. Mu's maid. Mrs. Mu Wu got up and bowed and retreated. Mu Yichen couldn't guess what was going on, and he kept it so secret, with a puzzled face. After Mrs. Mu Wu left, she only listened to the emperor and said lightly. "I'm really embarrassed, through these two days, I found out that Ling Er and Lan Guifei had a discord, since the two of them met for the first time, and today I asked her to come here, she actually made it clear to me that Lan Guifei would not come when she was there. I know you're the best way to deal with women? What do you think I should do? "This matter really can't be known to the fifth lady, because the emperor and Mu Yichen often have entertainment together, the emperor always takes Concubine Lan with him, and Mu Yichen always takes the fifth lady with him. The emperor and Mu Yichen have such a good relationship, and the woman they love naturally became good friends and best friends. "I'll just say, this princess is rude and willful at first glance, and she has this arrogant identity, I see that except for you, she will not look at anyone in her eyes, she has a different nature, this matter can't be solved, so the two of them can only see each other less, and it's best if they don't get along with each other." Mu Yichen swore by it. It's like analyzing this matter very thoroughly. The emperor looked at Mu Yichen helplessly and asked him to help come up with ideas. Look at what he said? "Isn't that nonsense? How could it not be possible? The emperor asked. Then you will be miserable in the future, no matter who you want to protect, the other person will definitely be angry with you. "Mu Yichen said it thoroughly, as if it was a foregone conclusion, and there was no room for maneuver." I'm here for you to help with ideas. The emperor was displeased to warn him. Mu Yichen thought about it and said as if he was half serious. "You are like this, you invite a few more masters for the princess, what kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework and thread girl red, let her learn everything, save too much leisure to find trouble for you." Mu Xiaowangye's bad idea came out, it was really proud. The emperor retorted resolutely. "No, when I took her back to the palace, I promised her and allowed her to be free, how could you go back on your word." "Your Majesty, what about women, you can pet her, but you can't get used to it, especially the princess, let you personally pick her up and take her back to the palace, what kind of horseback archery is like a man? Just to hold the right to speak, I can lead you by the nose in a grand manner. Mu Yichen looks like a playboy and a straw bale prince. But when it comes to analyzing things, it is also discerning. That's why the emperor values him as a friend. Mu Yichen could think of this, and the emperor naturally understood it a long time ago. The emperor glanced at Mu Yichen silently and raised a faint smile. "Still, that arrow was quite accurate." The emperor smiled and said that it was rare for the emperor to make jokes. Mu Yichen raised his hand and glanced at the clothes that had been torn by the arrow, and sneered faintly, his eyes were sharp and deep. "The first time I shot an arrow, I was not afraid of danger, and I was sure that it would not hurt me in the slightest. It seems that the princess is by no means a simple woman. Mu Yichen recalled the princess's expression and movements just now, and slowly analyzed it for the emperor. The emperor didn't think so, saying that she was not simple, and he agreed, but he just felt that Xia Ling'er followed their father and was smarter than ordinary women. "What if, it's her talking nonsense, and it's not the first time?" The emperor asked Mu Yichen rhetorically. "From the first arrow she shot, it was evident that her hands were not even holding heavy objects, let alone shooting arrows." Mu Yichen looked at the emperor with a pair of firm eyes, as if to show the emperor that his analysis was absolutely unquestionable. The most trustworthy person for the emperor is Mu Yichen, and naturally he is also familiar with his character, words, and style of doing things. In fact, he had long understood the problems analyzed by Mu Yichen in his heart, but sometimes he deliberately ignored these because of the love of brother and sister. "What does all this mean?" The emperor asked again. "Explanation, the princess must not get used to it, the more freedom you give her, the more trouble she will give you in the future." Mu Yichen reminded the emperor in a slightly contemptuous tone. After analyzing for a long time, the topic finally came back. The emperor seemed a little unimpressed, thinking that he was a bit exaggerated, and replied to him suspiciously: "Not really, right?" She is also making trouble with Concubine Lan, a girl, it is inevitable that she will be cautious because of something. Mu Yichen looked at the emperor's straightforward appearance, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, some people, sometimes it is easy to be blinded by the beauty in front of them, such as the current emperor. Indeed, my sister! will pretend to be cute again, it's strange if you don't love it! "Well, it's okay, let's try to let the two of them see each other less!" Mu Yichen also felt that there was no need to persuade the emperor in depth, he had just recognized his sister, and he hadn't enjoyed enough of the happiness from family affection! Why should I be so serious?
The two big men here analyzed Xia Ling'er's personality thoroughly, and Xia Ling'er sneezed a few times one after another, as if a woman's natural sixth sense was at work, which reminded her of that little prince Mu. Xia Ling'er walked in front of her, and asked Yuechan, Yixiang, and Le Nan behind her, "Why does everyone call Mu Yichen Mu Xiaowangye?" Xia Ling'er asked as if she didn't care, and asked casually. I'm afraid that no one in Jinling doesn't know about this matter, and Yixiang naturally knows it. Yixiang is a smart and clever girl, knowing whether the princess's question can be said clearly or not by people, before replying, she naturally knows to look around to make sure that there is no one in the open sight, and then reply in a small voice. But Xia Ling'er didn't feel anything, she still took steps forward, she just asked casually. "What about this, we have to start with the emperor's concubine Niangniang, she is the aunt of Mu Xiao Wangye, Jin Concubine Niangniang is very fond of Mu Xiao Wangye, she often lives in the Jin Concubine Palace since she was a child, and later she studied and was taught in the palace with the princes, and the emperor was the same year, and their relationship was good from that time. Once, during the Chinese New Year, there was a banquet in the palace, and Concubine Jin naturally took Mu Xiaowangye, perhaps because the emperor drank a little too much wine during the banquet, or maybe because Concubine Jin was pregnant and was happy for a while, so she said----- 'I see that Concubine Jin likes Yi Chen so much, I will give him Ruiyang Palace to live in, and then specially seal him the identity of a prince, and let him grow up with my princes in the future. Although he was not officially entitled, he did live in Ruiyang Palace from then on, because he was still a child less than ten years old at the time, so everyone called him Mu Xiaowang when they met again. "Mu Xiaowangye's father, is it the one who led the ministers to kneel in the court to force the former emperor to abolish the crown prince and replace my imperial brother with Mu Lichuan?" Xia Ling'er stopped and asked. After knowing her identity, Xia Ling'er also heard some news about Jinling, about why Mu Lichuan asked the emperor to depose his nephew, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, causing his sister to kill herself with hatred, Xia Ling'er felt even more incredible. Although the reason for the ministers to write at that time was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had no material for a holy monarch, I felt that this reason was too insufficient to convince the public. There may be something else going on. Thinking of his life experience again, maybe it has something to do with this Jin Concubine Niangniang, or Mu Hou Ye! It's just a sixth sense that pops up out of nowhere. The palace maid Yixiang replied affirmatively: "It is the son of Marquis Mu." "Then does Little Prince Mu still live in the palace now?" Xia Ling'er came back to her senses and asked. "I haven't lived in the palace for a long time, I heard that Mu Xiaowang suddenly moved back to Mu Mansion after living in Ruiyang Palace for a few years." The word "suddenly" sounded particularly deafening to Xia Ling'er. "Why did you leave suddenly?" Xia Ling'er looked at Yixiang and asked. "The slave doesn't know." Yixiang replied and lowered her head, Xia Ling'er didn't ask any more, just reminded her of another sentence. It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, and it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Xia Ling'er was stunned, and when she turned around, she said to Yixiang and Yuechan: "You two go back first, I want to go out of the palace for a walk." "Yixiang naturally understands the palace rules, so she only said yes. But Yuechan grew up with the princess since he was a child, and he felt more like family affection for the princess in his heart, and asked anxiously: "Doesn't the princess bring Yuezen?" I have something to do with the princess! Xia Ling'er smiled coldly and said, "Yuechan, you can just serve well in Qinfang Hall in the future, and when you go out, I'll just bring bodyguards." He nodded to Yuezen and turned to leave. Lenan followed. "Princess, where are we going now?" Lenan asked. "Where's the liveliest?" Xia Ling'er asked rhetorically, her tone was as steady and powerful as her pace. Le Nan thought for a moment and said, "That's Huarong Street." "She thought that the princess had just come to this Jinling, and she must also want to go to the lively and prosperous places to have a look." Then go to Wah Wing Street. Xia Ling'er said. Le Nan responded, but he still felt that the princess was weird, not like she was going to go shopping and playing. Out of the palace gate, soon arrived at Huarong Street. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, nature is prosperous and lively. But Xia Ling'er didn't seem to pay much attention to everything around her, just walked unhurriedly. I finally saw a building shop that sold clothes. It should belong to the high-end, and the gatehouse is magnificent. Xia Ling'er and Le Nan entered one after the other. The guy stepped forward to talk, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say hello, Xia Ling'er directly ordered: "Take two men's clothes that the two of us can wear." As he spoke, he raised his head and pointed to Le Nan beside him, and added emphatically: "The best!" The man looked at them for a moment, and before he could come to his senses, he turned and left. Le Nan was even more confused. One glance at the princess, still the calm expression. After a while, the guys brought another person, and each of them held a set of men's clothes for them to look at. Xia Ling'er glanced at it twice, and then ordered the guy to take them to the locker room. Xia Ling'er took the clothes in first, and asked Le Nan to wait outside first, it seemed that she was still not used to changing clothes in front of strangers, and neither could women. Soon Xia Ling'er changed and walked out, walked in front of Le Nan, deliberately put up a shelf, and asked, "How is it?" "Moon-white satin dress, handsome facial features, slender figure, good handsome boy. Le Nan smiled and said, "It's as beautiful as wearing a princess dress." Xia Ling'er was a little unhappy when she heard this, and said, "You also went to change." "I'm very happy, and Nan has also come out. Maybe she herself is a person who practices martial arts, not as thin as Xia Ling'er first, with a plain cyan brocade dress and a sword at her waist, but she has a bit more heroic temperament. Xia Ling'er looked at her and nodded, "It's still suitable for you." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Le Nan, smiled, and then turned around and walked out, his back was very free. Le Nan followed a few steps.
Out of the store, walk down the street. "Are there any famous geisha houses on this street, music shops or something? It's the kind that only sells his art and doesn't sell his body. Xia Ling'er asked as she walked, her eyes staring back and forth at the attic stores on both sides. Le Nan was at a loss when she heard this, she originally thought that this princess was weird, but now she didn't understand, she changed into men's clothes first, and now she is going to this kind of Fengyue place again, I really don't know what she is going to do? "The slave doesn't know." Le Nan replied with a slight slurring. Xia Ling'er stood still and looked back at her, frowning slightly, her eyes sharp. "The slave really doesn't know." Le Nan will definitely answer the princess this time with certainty. "You can inquire as soon as possible." Xia Ling'er's tone was still cold, "I'll just wait on this street." Xia Ling'er's eyes were calm, but Le Nan could feel the princess's displeasure and loss. You should really ask the merry Mu Xiaowangye. It is rare that Xia Ling'er can still think of Mu Yichen at this time. At this moment, Xia Ling'er's footsteps slowed down, and she looked everywhere as she walked, although it seemed to be shopping and watching, but it was even more boring. Suddenly, she stopped in front of a toy store, and a few fans on the shelves caught her eye. It would be more perfect if you should hold a fan in your hand. Xia Ling'er's clear eyes were full of pride. She stepped inside...... As for Lenan, he was panicked on the street like a headless fly, going back and forth in the crowd a few times, but he didn't ask the exit, looking at the people back and forth, he didn't know who to ask. But this is the princess's order! And the princess's cold, angry face jumped out of her mind over and over again. Rushed to the doctor when he was sick, Le Nan would be in a hurry, but he would just grab a person and ask. "Girl, this is a famous ...... on Wing Wah Street Ay...... Where is the brothel? Le Nan blushed and stammered. Girl??? I'm afraid that by this time she has forgotten that she is a woman disguised as a man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have grabbed a girl and asked such a thing. Looking at the girl again, she thought that she had met the true destiny, looking at her with a pair of admiring eyes, waiting for her to finish speaking. Unexpectedly, it was a bolt from the blue, and the girl left angrily. Le Nan looked at the back of the girl and regretted it with hatred! I felt a heavy blow on my head. As soon as I turned around, I saw that her family was beautiful and moving, and ordered the princess who could not pay for her life, no, the princess said, her name was "Dragon Prince". This dragon boy was holding a folding fan and standing in front of her. Before she could speak, she saw her family Long Gongzi, and her face was more depressed than she had shown. Of course, she was depressed, seeing her performance just now, she was really devastated, I thought that Le Nan was a heroine who could be entrusted with important tasks, but I didn't expect it to be a shy little lady. How could Xia Ling'er not be disappointed? Solve the problem first. "Look carefully and learn from me." Xia Ling'er said indifferently. Take a deep breath and regain your previous calm. "Excuse me, childe, what are the famous Le Fang brothels on Huarong Street?" Merry Boy. "Where is the famous Le Fang brothel on Wah Wing Street?" Small merchants and peddlers, just throw some money and tell you. "Girl, I want to find a piano player on this Huarong Street, I wonder if the girl can tell me where I should go?" That's the right way to ask a girl. ………… This kind of teaching should have an effect! Le Nan was already dumbfounded, and he was embarrassed. Now there are people paying attention to the two of them. Xia Ling'er swept the onlookers and said to Le Nan: "Let's go!" Le Nan followed, at first she only thought that the princess was strange, but now she can only admire the princess, and it can be said that she admires it so much. The princess is really calm and steady. I really should learn from the princess in the future. Today is indeed a very special task. In fact, when buying a fan in an antique shop, Xia Linger had already inquired clearly, and the famous geisha on Huarong Street, whether it was piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or singing and dancing, should be the Flower Pavilion. And what Xia Ling'er is going to is the Flower Pavilion. When she arrived at the door, Xia Ling'er took out the silver ticket and handed it to Le Nan, saying, "Do you know what to do?" Xia Ling'er stroked the folding fan with both hands and looked intently at the Flower Pavilion. Singing and dancing, fragrant sounds. The interior of the Makka Pavilion is really angry. The hall alone was full of young men listening to music and dancing. Not to mention the high-ranking officials and gentry in the surrounding three-story attic, as well as their children. "Two sons, please come inside." Someone came forward to greet him, a man about thirty years old. Xia Ling'er just threw away the fan, held it in front of her, and ignored it. Le Nan took out a silver ticket and shook it in front of the man's eyes, and said: "Our son likes to be quiet, just find a good private room and arrange for you, the girl with the best piano skills, to play the piano." Le Nan had shown her composure, but the twinkling eyes betrayed her. However, compared to before, the progress has been made by leaps and bounds.
Xia Ling'er and Le Nan were taken to the private room, probably because they were generous, and the room was very large.
Xia Ling'er swept around first.
Yes, there is a round dining table with all kinds of snacks, a desk with four treasures of the study, and a bedroom for guests to rest. There is also a small stage for performances, although there is a bead curtain, you can still see a guqin inside.
Xia Ling'er sat down at the round table facing the small stage. A folding fan was placed on the table, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he still looked like he was not shocked, and there was only the piano behind the bead curtain in his calm eyes.
At this time, a beautiful girl came in, with a white shirt and skirt, covered with white light gauze, revealing her perfect collarbone. It's enchanting.
Slightly saluted, with a light smile: "Cai Lian has seen Childe, I don't know how to call Childe?" ”
Xia Ling'er turned her head to look at her, her eyes seemed to be surprised, it might be the first time she had seen such an ethereal fairy-like woman in the Qinglou!
"This is my son Long, give my father-in-law a song of your most famous song." Le Nan is a hard-working girl, and she still has that calm face at this time.
The girl should be, and walked to the small stage. The gait is light and graceful.
Xia Ling'er seemed to be disappointed, glanced at Le Nan and said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you." ”
What disappointed her was not that she left pitifully, but that Le Nan's brain was too rigid.
Le Nan glanced at her princess with a stunned look in her eyes and sat down.
The melodious sound of the piano came from the girl.
Xia Ling'er didn't listen carefully, after all, the purpose of coming here was not like this.
Coming here, first, it is convenient to speak, and no one disturbs. The small stage is still some distance from her.
Second, it is to hide people's eyes and ears, if she stays in the palace and lets Le Nan go out of the palace alone, it is indeed difficult to hide it, it will inevitably make people suspicious, coming here is an excellent place to hide and rest.
Xia Ling'er looked hesitant, thinking about how to explain to this unenlightened girl.
Xia Ling'er held her cheek with one hand and looked at Le Nan quietly.
Le Nan also stared at the princess a little sluggishly.
"Who did you study with? What did you do before? Xia Ling'er asked.
Although there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, the details are very important.
"The slave is a martial artist who learned from his father since he was a child, but his father is just a nameless little person, after my father died, my senior brother was on an errand in the Imperial Forest Army, and my father was kind to him, he saw that I was lonely and let me enter the palace. It's just a rough trick in the Raccoon Bureau. Le Nan recounted calmly.
Xia Ling'er listened to her, her eyes staring at her intently.
The background is also innocent.
"Has the emperor told you anything?" Xia Ling'er then asked, her expression surprisingly calm.
"I want to hear what I say!" One more thing to add.
"The emperor said that I must protect the safety of the princess, and there is ......" Le Nan said slowly, a little cassette, "and...... Just don't let the princess mess around. ”
Well, to be expected. It's fine, as long as you can be faithful to her.
Xia Ling'er was silent, still emotional, and in tune with this beautiful piano sound.
But Xia Ling'er has indeed been thinking about it, but she is used to being moody.
"Next, you help me check the empress of the former emperor, that is, the emperor and my mother. Why did she leave the palace? This matter can only be known to you and me, and in the future, the imperial brother will call you over for questioning, what can you say and what you can't say, you must be measured. Xia Ling'er looked at Le Nan calmly.
She said it kindly, but Le Nan was nervous when she heard it.
Regarding the princess's mother, after the news spread that the emperor had taken his sister-in-law back to the palace, Le Nan also heard some older grandmothers discussing the matter.
But I just don't know if I can say it, let alone how credible it is.
Le Nan's eyes flashed a few times, and he stopped talking a few times.
Xia Ling'er seemed to see something, a little worried, her eyes were a little confused, and she frowned and said, "If you know or hear something, just say it."
Xia Ling'er just has an almost open mind.
Le Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the princess returned to the palace, I also overheard some old people in the palace talking about it. It seems to say that the first queen was given white silk by the emperor because of something, but eighteen years later, the princess of the queen's mother returned to the palace, and everyone knows that the first emperor and the first queen only have one child of the emperor. Therefore, everyone talked about the first queen being virtuous and often showing grace to the palace people, and she must have saved her from the palace. ”
What will be the reason for the death of the queen mother of the world? It's definitely not as simple as the palace people rescuing them. Otherwise, how would the Emperor know about my existence?
Does the royal brother know about this? He was just a child at the time, and the sudden loss of his mother and the love of his parents must have been the most painful and painful time, so she didn't want me to know anything!
It must be flesh and blood affection, and I feel sad when I think about it, and I can't help but have a sour nose.
At this time, the sound of the piano has ended.
Jiao Yan asked, "Do you want another track?" ”
Xia Ling'er looked up at the bead curtain in front of her. Although he tried his best to be free-spirited, his slightly reddened eyes could not be concealed.
"Let's play this song again!" Xia Ling'er said. She didn't understand either, so naturally she didn't know what tracks to order.
The lingering sound swirled again.
Xia Ling'er was silent for a while, as if listening to the sound of the piano, concentrating on looking at the pitied girl who was caressing the piano through the bead curtain, and after a long while, she said firmly: "I don't care what method you use, go and check this matter for me, but there is one point, and no one is allowed to know." ”
Xia Ling'er didn't turn her head, as if she had been focusing on the sound of the piano, and Le Nan whispered.
Xia Ling'er seemed to be hungry and looked at the snacks on the table. Then he said, "Go and ask them to bring some food, and you can eat here today and come back!" ”
Le Nan answered the call and went out.
Today, the emperor left Concubine Lan because of Xia Ling'er, which made Concubine Lan have a belly of fire, and it was inevitable that she would not make a fuss to the emperor. In the afternoon, Concubine Lan ran to the emperor's imperial study without receiving the emperor's summons. The emperor is still busy with political affairs. After Concubine Lan came in, she ordered the palace maid who was studying ink on the side to step back, grabbed the wide sleeve with one hand, and began to study the ink with the other. I'm afraid that the emperor understands the reason why Concubine Lan came over today! The emperor continued to criticize the chapter, but only glanced up at Concubine Lan. "Why did Concubine Ai come here so early? I was going to go to your palace when I'm done in a while. The emperor looked like he was still busy, and his words were hearty and bright. Concubine Lan smiled and whispered: "Today I heard that the emperor sent the princess to the martial arts training ground, and the concubines used to accompany the emperor, but the emperor had a sister but snubbed the concubines so much, and it was inevitable that she would be disappointed, so today I miss the emperor more than usual, so I came over on my own." Concubine Lan looked disheartened and looked very pitiful. When the emperor heard this, he smiled heartily and said with a smile: "Which palace person is this news?" I will not be spared, I confessed that I can't let my concubine know, and I know that my concubine will definitely be jealous and angry if she knows. "The emperor is really sharp! One word and one board, not only relieved himself, but also coaxed Concubine Lan to laugh. "Which palace person do you still need to pass on? The emperor sent someone to the queen to invite someone, and now the entire harem knows how much the emperor loves this sister. Lan Guifei's smile then changed to a coquettish demeanor. The emperor only understood at this time that this Xia Ling'er had set up such a game for Concubine Lan, and it seemed that Concubine Lan was indeed wronged today. For a moment he couldn't tell whether this sister was hateful or ridiculous? Let's calm her down first! I saw the emperor put away the concerto, stretched out his hand to pull her over and sit beside him, and said with a smile: "This Ling'er, I will definitely teach her a good lesson when I go back, it is too unreasonable to be so flamboyant, and she does not look like a princess is virtuous and virtuous at all." Concubine Lan smiled, of course she knew that this was a coaxing of her, and naturally she would not believe that the emperor would teach the princess a lesson. The concubine is not angry, but it is inevitable that there will be some loss. "Concubine Lan is squeamish, a man will be heartbroken." I know it's my fault this time. The emperor took her into his arms. Concubine Lan is proud of the spring breeze, and the emperor is full of Xia Ling'er, such a little girl, can be so scheming. Just to be angry with Concubine Lan? It's ridiculous! Or Mu Yichen is right, it's better that the two of them don't meet! But they all live in this harem, although Xia Ling'er's Qinfang Palace and Lan Guifei's Xiyun Palace are not too close, but they can always be met in and out. And sometimes, the more you don't want to meet, the more you can meet. Xia Ling'er ate at the Flower Pavilion, listened to the music with peace of mind, and came back late in the afternoon. However, Concubine Lan also stayed in the emperor's imperial study for a long time before coming out and going back in the direction of Xiyun Palace. It was such a coincidence that the two happened to meet in the Imperial Garden. Xia Ling'er saw Lan Guifei coming from a distance, Xia Ling'er didn't dodge, but she didn't plan to greet her. Walking straight forward on his own. passed by, without even looking at her. Concubine Kelan just stopped her. "The princess is so handsome in this dress!" Concubine Lan said provocatively with a sarcastic tone. Xia Ling'er stood still, turned around and glanced at her directly, and said coldly angrily: "Is there something wrong?" "There is no one else here, so naturally there is no need to act anymore, naturally just do whatever you want and do whatever you want. Lan Guifei sneered coquettishly, took two steps forward, and whispered to Xia Ling'er: "A country girl, she really thinks of herself as a princess!" Xia Ling'er raised her head lightly and motioned for Le Nan to retreat and avoid. There are some words, but the palace people still don't listen to them, so that they don't have to spread them quickly. Since Concubine Lan was the first to speak disrespectfully, Xia Ling'er naturally spoke ill of her. Xia Ling'er was not annoyed or angry, and said coldly and disdainfully: "I have royal blood flowing in my body, so I am naturally noble." And you are just the concubine of my imperial brother, and no matter how favored you are, you are a lowly body. Lan Guifei's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, and then she sneered with relief: "How about being humble?" And what about nobility? As long as there is the emperor's favor, what is the importance of these. It's the princess, you are just the pearl of the emperor's absence, and the emperor just thinks you are pitiful and guilty, and no matter how good you are, he just wants to compensate you. It's too flamboyant, and I'm afraid this bit of compensation will also disappear. "Hah...... Is this a warning or a threat? Xia Ling'er laughed, naturally thinking that what Lan Guifei said was a big joke. "Really? Then let's see, let's see if you are important in the heart of the imperial brother, or is my sister important? Xia Ling'er deliberately accentuated the word "sister" to remind Concubine Lan to recognize her identity. No matter what the two of them say at this time, it is just a psychological contest, in fact, both of them clearly understand the weight of the other party in the emperor's heart, and they are unshakable. Concubine Lan even understood that the princess was the emperor's sister-in-law, and it was not appropriate to provoke her. "The princess knows that the emperor is favored by me, why does she want to have a problem with the palace? Just ......, "Lan Guifei wanted to continue, can't she get along with this palace well?" But the princess stopped her words. "Because I don't like you, and I don't like the royal brother to favor you alone." Xia Ling'er smiled and said indifferently. But Lan Guifei heard Xia Ling'er's ruthlessness, and laughed dumbly, it seemed that she was about to be her enemy. Xia Ling'er smiled proudly, Concubine Lan held back her anger, the two were looking at each other, and a flowing voice came. "Yo, the princess is really dressed like a handsome little girl with a jade face! How? Came to visit the garden with a concubine? Mu Yichen was about to go to the emperor, and when he saw these two women in the imperial garden, he looked at the posture of the two from a distance, and knew that they must be fighting, so he came to relieve them. It's just that this little prince Mu is used to entering and leaving the palace gate at will, and as for the etiquette, he is even more freewheeling. Seeing the princess and concubine, one did not ask for peace, the other did not ask for courtesy, and spoke with a ruffian spirit that did not know how to respect people, Xia Ling'er naturally hated this kind of person the most. It's just that she doesn't know that she is an arrogant lady who doesn't know how to respect people, and she is not as good as a casual ruffian like Mu Yichen, at least it won't make people have an oppressive sense of distance. Xia Ling'er squinted and glanced at him coldly, her face changed suddenly, and she felt more unappetizing than Concubine Lan. Concubine Lan suddenly became gentle, turned her waist lightly, bowed her head and saluted slightly: "Hello little prince Mu!" The twisted appearance really made Xia Ling'er take a deep breath and open her eyes. What a couple! One is the amorous **** who can't see women, the other is the watery poplar who can't see men, is my imperial brother unknown or likes heavy tastes, what kind of friends did he make? Also flaunted as the only one; What kind of woman is this spoiling? Alone for many years? It really made her sick, and she sighed heartily: "It's really low!" With a blank look, the pair of dog men and women she defined were about to turn away. Lan Guifei was angry when she heard this, and was about to say a sentence, but was quickly stopped by Mu Yichen, and said with a wry smile: "Say me!" "The concubine walks slowly, I still have something to do with the emperor." Mu Yichen was afraid to avoid it. Looking for the emperor? A word reached Xia Ling'er's ears, and she turned around and called out to Mu Yichen: "Wait a minute, it just so happens that I also have something to do with the imperial brother." As he spoke, he followed Mu Yichen. Lan Guifei glared at Xia Ling'er angrily and left.
Xia Ling'er and Mu Xiao Wang Ye walked together in the direction of the emperor's residence hall.
They all looked ahead, and their eyes did not intersect at all.
Mu Yichen snorted coldly and said, "The princess is afraid that I will tell the emperor what I just saw, right?" ”
Count him smart.
"I know that Little Prince Mu won't talk nonsense and add trouble to my imperial brother." Xia Ling'er spoke lightly.
knew that she would provoke him with words, but she didn't know that he Mu Xiaowang had never liked this.
"I have always solved problems for the emperor, and I especially can't bear the emperor to be kept in the dark by some people and things."
What he meant by this sentence was that he would tell the emperor, right?
Xia Ling'er's calm eyes began to sharpen, shooting ten thousand cold lights at Mu Yichen.
Is he so ignorant of current affairs?
"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of my imperial brother, do you believe that your life will be miserable in the future?" Xia Ling'er threatened.
Mu Yichen stopped and looked at her, and the evil smile was even more unscrupulous: "I want to try what a miserable method." ”
Xia Ling'er sighed in her heart, it seems that he doesn't eat this set, he is really a trouble.
Mu Yichen seemed to have pinched Xia Ling'er's weakness, smiled evilly, and said, "If the princess can ask me for good words, I can fulfill you." With that, he turned around and continued to walk forward.
Although he knew that the haughty princess would not bow to him at all.
Hmph, got your brain in the water, or was you kicked by a donkey? How dare you threaten her? In her past and present life, when was she threatened? Isn't he human?
"Stop!" Xia Ling'er shouted.
Mu Yichen stood up and looked at Xia Ling'er behind him, only to see her draw Le Nan's sword and press it against Mu He's chest, Le Nan just wanted to speak to stop it, but Xia Ling'er stretched out her hand to stop her.
The princess really enjoys this game!
"Princess, don't you dare to hurt me, is it interesting to play like this all the time?" Mu Yichen showed a hint of impatience.
"Of course it's interesting, you're my imperial brother's only friend, wouldn't I be unhappy if I hurt you." As he spoke, he stabbed him hard in the shoulder and ruined another piece of his clothes.
Xia Ling'er handed the sword to Le Nan and smiled leisurely: "Go, say whatever you want, I'll just send it with the imperial brother." ”
Is this going to fight him to the end?
Mu Yichen and Xia Ling'er entered the emperor's residence hall one after the other.
Mu Xiaowang got the emperor's permission to enter and leave at will.
The emperor was studying chess skills in his spare time, and when he saw Mu Yichen coming in, he smiled calmly, and then saw Xia Ling'er coming in later, but he was a little surprised, especially the men's clothes.
"Why did Ling'er come with you?" The emperor asked, and also noticed that the two of them seemed to have abnormal expressions, and the opening on Mu Yichen's shoulder was particularly conspicuous, so he put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked in surprise: "What's the matter with your clothes." ”
Mu Xiaowang sat casually on the chair opposite the emperor, and said helplessly: "The princess doesn't like it, so she gave it a sword." ”
"Ling'er, you're messing around again, aren't you?" The emperor questioned her sharply.
Xia Ling'er glared at Mu Yichen viciously.
Mu Yichen didn't dodge, a pair of deep black eyes looked at her, and his gaze was like a torch.
"Brother Huang, you must know him very well, he has a frivolous face when he sees a girl, he was disrespectful to me first, and I taught him a lesson." Xia Ling'er was the wicked first and said to the emperor.
Of course, the emperor didn't believe Xia Ling'er's words, Mu Yichen's words were frivolous and casual, and it was not surprising that the princess didn't like it, but he would never be disrespectful to the princess. It's a public director, and it's not surprising that he can do this.
"Ling'er, don't you know how to salute when you see the imperial brother now?" The emperor glanced at Mu Yichen, and suddenly felt that he couldn't indulge her too much, and he still had to remind her to be more obedient.
Who let Xia Ling'er provoke the two closest people to the emperor as soon as she entered the palace.
Xia Ling'er was stunned, it was because of Mu Yichen, a slut, that she was rude in front of the imperial brother.
Hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Ling'er greets the imperial brother!" ”
"Where did you go in this outfit?" The emperor didn't let her get up, got up and walked to her, and asked her directly where she went, as if he meant to ask.
Ling Er was even more angry for a while, why was he an outsider who was nothing, and when he saw the emperor, he could swagger in and sit at the door? My dignified princess was going to kneel and reply. And in front of this.
Xia Ling'er didn't even calm down and stood up on her own.
As soon as he got up, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Who told you to stand up?" ”
Xia Ling'er was stunned, looked at the emperor aggrievedly, and said, "I didn't make any mistakes. ”
In the end, it was a brother and sister, and the emperor was still too soft-hearted, but he was so unhappy that he glanced at her and did it.
"What the hell are you doing dressed like this?" The emperor asked again.
Xia Ling'er seemed to have the joy of victory, and said: "I went to the street for a walk, and it was always inconvenient to wear my daughter's clothes. ”
"It's not that there's any inconvenience in visiting the Qinglou." Mu Yichen said sarcastically.
When the emperor heard this, he also felt that Mu Yichen said something that should not be said, he must be talking to the princess, where can he talk about Qinglou. cast a stern forbidden gaze.
Although the princess really went to the Qinglou, who knows.
"It's because there are too many **** people like Mu Xiaowang on the street, so it's inconvenient for us women to go out." Xia Ling'er turned to Mu Yichen, staring at him angrily and scolding angrily.
The emperor was even more surprised. "**** disciple" is this a girl can say casually? The brain was chaotic for a while, is this the calm and calm sister I met at the beginning?
"Ling'er? ......" The emperor called Xia Ling'er.
"Princess, pay attention to the appearance of the image!" Mu Yichen looked at her quietly, still smiling cheaply.
Xia Ling'er calmed down and regretted it, she really shouldn't be impulsive.
However, sometimes anger and resentment are easy to make people lose their minds.
I really regret it, why did I come with me, I was tired for a day, wouldn't it be better to go back to Qinfang Hall to have a good rest.
"Brother Huang will not see him much in the future." Gently salute: "Ling Er retreated first." ”
Before leaving, he glanced at Mu Yichen, and scolded the slut in his heart.
"In the future, you will see her less, let alone provoke her." The emperor said coldly to Mu Yichen.
The emperor knew that Mu Xiaowang was too easy to anger girls, and he was born with a peach blossom.
Mu Yichen shook his head again with a disgusted expression, as if every time he saw Xia Ling'er's back, he always had this expression.
"This time, have you seen the true face of your sister?" Mu Yichen seemed to be proud, "Come if you want, leave if you want, it seems that you don't take your imperial brother too seriously." ”
"What? Could it be that I can only let you go in and out alone? The emperor asked Mu Yichen rhetorically.
Little Prince Mu doesn't like the emperor the most, he is too arrogant to women, and this was the case with the former Lan Guifei.
However, today he did succeed in angering her.
The emperor walked up to Mu Yichen, stretched out his hand and pulled the opening on his clothes and said, "Next time, it is possible for her to kill you." I'm not responsible. "It's a little warning.
It's really another thing that annoys the emperor.
