Side Story Chapter 5

Mu Yichen left the Qinfang Palace and walked towards the emperor's residence hall, he knew that the emperor would have a hard time tonight, and he must still be waiting for him. He walked alone on the silent road, and only the faint light from the scattered palaces did not make the night too dark, and when he looked up, there was no flash in the dark night.

At this time, his heart was like this dark night, there was no light, so that the distress had nowhere to hide.

Let him have to think of the past that he doesn't want to think about and don't want to face, what he likes and respects the most since he was a child is the aunt who brought her up, the first emperor's concubine, in Mu Yichen's heart, she is a closer and gentle person than her mother, but she just let him bump into her ugliest and most insidious side, which made him suddenly have a kind of consciousness, what is the most poisonous woman's heart!

It was such a respectable and lovely woman who would plot with his father to frame his best friend's mother, and the two closest people suddenly made him terrible, making him unacceptable, he could only choose to escape, the most powerless escape!

Mu Yichen was like an empty shell without a soul, and his heavy and unsteady steps stepped step by step to the Residence Palace.

Mu Yichen raised his eyes and face, only to find that he had arrived so soon, he had been accustomed to the chic life that others envied, and his heart had been built by him, and no one could match it.

He stretched his eyebrows and adjusted his mood.

The palace people all stood outside the hall, and when they saw Mu Xiaowang coming, they all bowed their heads and gave a silent salute.

When Mu Yichen entered the hall, the emperor held his forehead with one hand and leaned on a few cases, I am afraid that he was also sad.

"The Emperor's ......"

Mu Yichen approached and sat on the other side of several cases, his expression and tone were very flat, but he was full of concern and pity.

The emperor didn't look up, but opened his eyes slightly and asked, "What did she say?" The tone was chilling.

Mu Yichen raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, as if he was pretending to be relaxed.

"What else can I say, of course, I know that I made an unforgivable mistake, and I regret it at the beginning, as you said, girls, it is inevitable that they will be cautious for a while, and they will be confused for a while, so they thought of such a ridiculous idea, and they didn't think about it so much, just to scare Concubine Lan with a quick mouth." Although Mu Yichen said that he was relaxed and absent-minded, in fact, his heart was tight, for the emperor and Xia Ling'er.

The matter has stopped, and Xia Ling'er can only be completely burdened with this black cauldron, and it is meaningless to justify it, but it makes the emperor even more sad for the two women, but this is not a wronged Xia Ling'er, she must have provoked it.

Mu Yichen looked at and guessed the emperor's thoughts from time to time as he spoke, and then said: "However, I have already educated you well, and I am crying and repenting at this time!" ”

The emperor raised his head at this time, as if he understood that Mu Yichen was deliberately prevaricating him with these words, and let out a faint wry smile.

Mu Yichen also echoed and smiled, and then stood up again: "Let's go!" I'll take you out for two drinks for my brother! Although the tone was a bit playful, his heart was sincere.

The emperor looked up at Mu Yichen in a daze, what a familiar scene, once the two of them were ignorant and young, I don't know how many times they spent it like this, although Mu Yichen was so many months older, but along the way, he protected the emperor like a father and a brother, maybe he felt guilty.

After a while, the emperor smiled comfortingly, yes! The two of them hadn't been together for a long time, and they were drunk and drunk.

The two walked out tacitly, and Mu Yichen was even more like before, hooking up with the emperor like a brother, and went out of the palace gate together, only the two of them.

I'm afraid the whole palace will know about tonight's events, and how many people will be sleepless.

Xia Ling'er even sat quietly all night.

Concubine Lan also had no intention of sleeping, and even more people stared at the emperor's movements, she knew that the emperor must be very angry this time, I am afraid that Xia Ling'er will not be so chic in the future. But when I heard that I was out of the palace with Mu Yichen, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, and I didn't know what the emperor would do with this matter next.

Mu Yichen and the emperor didn't return to the palace until the second half of the night, and the emperor was still drunk as before, but Mu Yichen was still awake, and he had to be sober.

Mu Yichen struggled to support the emperor with difficult steps, and when he entered the palace gate, he asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, where are you going to rest tonight?" "It's hard to even speak.

The emperor replied in a daze: "Go to Xiyun Palace." ”

Mu Yichen knew that he had asked more, so he walked in the direction of Xiyun Palace.

The news of the emperor's return to the palace soon reached the ears of Lan Guifei, and the palace people also reported that the emperor had come in the direction of Xiyun Palace, Lan Guifei got up and walked outside the palace, knowing that the emperor was drunk, so she went out to prepare to meet the emperor, and ordered the palace people to prepare a sedan chair to pick up the emperor.

This can liberate Mu Xiaowangye, and it is also a golden body, and he can reach out for food to open his mouth, but he is not lightly tired.

The person who handed over the emperor to Concubine Lan left the palace and went back alone.

Lan Guifei and the palace people helped the emperor into the bedroom together, and the palace maid brought the tea for sobering, and Lan Guifei helped the emperor to drink two sips, and then fell on the couch. muttered the queen mother in a slurred voice...... Ling Er ......, and after a while, he fell asleep.

Lan Guifei looked at the emperor, although she didn't hear what the emperor said, but Ling Er still heard the words clearly, and understood in her heart that the emperor really cared about this sister, and even surpassed her imagination, I am afraid that she will not be able to do any punishment, and she can't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Even so, after all, Lan Guifei and the emperor still have feelings, and Lan Guifei stayed by the emperor's side all night, and the emperor didn't wake up until it was almost noon.

When he opened his eyes with a painful expression, he saw that Lan Guifei was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at him, looking at him with a smile on her face, the emperor frowned and was about to get up, and Lan Guifei hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor get up.

Looking at the expression, you can know that the emperor must have a headache.

"Your Majesty, let's drink a bowl of sobering soup first! The emperor drank too much wine yesterday, so it's no wonder that he doesn't have a headache! It was still that gentle and coquettish voice, and as he spoke, the sobering soup was fed to the emperor's mouth, and the emperor didn't have much expression, so he obediently drank a few sips.

"What time is it?" The emperor stood up and asked.

"It's noon, if the emperor has anything, just have lunch here before leaving!" Concubine Lan was talking while skillfully changing clothes for the emperor.

The emperor didn't say anything more, he should have acquiesced to Concubine Lan's proposal, but secretly glanced at Concubine Lan, who was busy sorting out his clothes, and spoke again after a long time: "Yesterday, Ling Er really shouldn't be, I will give you an explanation." ”

Concubine Lan's eyes were stunned, her hands trembled slightly on the emperor's clothes, and then she was busy again, and said lightly: "Yesterday, the concubine also had something wrong, and when I calmed down, I understood that it must have been the princess who said angry words to the concubine, and the concubine really shouldn't run to question the emperor impulsively." ”

The emperor pursed his lips with relief.

"Your Majesty, let's go have lunch first!" Concubine Lan said to the emperor, as gentle and charming as usual, as if nothing happened yesterday.

The emperor went to lunch with Concubine Lan.

Just sat down and didn't move the chopsticks, a palace maid came in and reported: "The princess wants to meet the mother outside the palace!" ”

Concubine Lan glanced at the emperor who bowed his head and was silent, and she didn't know what to do for a while? She naturally didn't want to see her, but the emperor was there, which made her very embarrassed for a while.

Xia Ling'er stood outside the Xiyun Palace, her eyes cold and calm.

After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the palace people come out to spread the word about her, she actually knew in her heart that she was afraid that this Xiyun Palace would not be so easy for her to enter. But she had no choice, Mu Yichen was right, this was the best way.

I just don't know how the royal brother will react inside.

Concubine Lan was speechless for a while and didn't know how to respond, as if waiting for the emperor to show off.

After a long time, the emperor said firmly: "Let her go back!" Then he picked up the chopsticks again and said to Lan Guifei: "Let's eat!" A relaxed smile appeared on his face.

Concubine Lan also pursed her lips and smiled, and picked up chopsticks to eat with the emperor.

Xia Ling'er waited for a long time before she saw the palace maid coming over, and said to her: "Princess, the emperor and the mother are having lunch, let the princess go back first." ”

Xia Ling'er didn't seem surprised by this result, it must be the emperor's brother's will, Xia Ling'er turned around and walked out, only took two steps and turned back.

Since he came here to act, he didn't have to do enough to play.

I saw Xia Ling'er kneeling on the marble slab outside the hall, completely ignoring the scorching sun above her head at this time, and shouted loudly to the hall: "Ling'er knows that she is guilty, she shouldn't bump into the concubine Niangniang, and she has come to ask Niangniang for her guilt, if Niangniang refuses to forgive Ling'er, Ling'er will kneel here." ”

Xia Ling'er shouted so loudly, the emperor and Concubine Lan naturally heard it clearly, but the emperor didn't seem to care, and still ate quietly, but this Concubine Lan seemed to be absent-minded and didn't know the taste of food, looking at the emperor back and forth, maybe the emperor was waiting for himself to open his mouth to find a step down.

"Your Majesty, do you want to let the princess in?" Lan Guifei said weakly.

The emperor's expression did not change, but he said with displeasure: "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel." He continued to eat.

Lan Guifei looked at the emperor, with her understanding of the emperor, the emperor was probably embarrassed, in the end, the emperor also took care of her face, so it was not easy to speak, just make a fuss and suppress the princess's arrogance, and always find a step for the emperor.

Concubine Lan got up, knelt in front of the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that this matter has nothing to do with the emperor, and the responsibility is not the princess alone, this is a matter of the harem, in the end, it was the concubine who disturbed the emperor on impulse, and the concubine was also at fault, so I asked the emperor to forgive the princess and don't pursue it anymore, presumably the princess has already known her mistake as the concubine." At this time, the sun is thick, and the princess is afraid that she will not be able to bear it when she kneels in the foreign minister like this. ”

Concubine Lan can be said to be moved by emotion and reason, whether it is sincere or false, the emperor is still moved, and he did not disappoint the emperor.

The emperor stretched out his hand to help her up, his eyes were full of tenderness and pity, and said to Lan Guifei: "I didn't expect Ling Er to be so nonsense, I just feel wronged by you." ”

Concubine Lan also smiled and said, "With the emperor by the side of the concubine, the concubine never felt wronged. ”

The emperor looked at the soft and demure appearance of Lan Guifei in front of him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Majesty, go and let the princess go back!" Concubine Lan said as she helped the emperor get up and walked out of the hall.

The emperor and Lan Guifei walked out of the palace hand in hand, Xia Ling'er, the royal brother, was finally willing to come out to see her, Xia Ling'er was already kneeling at Lan Guifei's feet, so she didn't care whether there was hostility or ridicule in her eyes, these were meaningless.

Xia Ling'er kneeling here can only be pious and repentant, bowing her head and confessing her sins.

"Ling Er knows that she is wrong, and she has come to ask the noble concubine and the imperial brother for her guilt, and also ask the lady to forgive her sins!" Xia Ling'er said and bowed.

I don't know how the emperor feels now, maybe he will be a little relieved, and take the initiative to confess his guilt to Concubine Lan, at least it didn't embarrass the emperor, didn't it?

Concubine Lan was silent, everything was waiting for the emperor to decide!

The emperor looked up at the dazzling and scorching sunshine, and his heart was inevitably unbearable, but he still behaved violently and said, "Go back!" From today onwards, I have been confined to the Qinfang Temple to think, and I cannot take a step without my will. ”

"Ling Er obeys the will of the imperial brother!" After Xia Ling'er finished speaking, she got up and left, without the slightest hesitation, there was only arrogant perseverance in her eyes!

Although he was grounded, the matter was finally over.

Xia Ling'er really lived a life of isolation from the outside world, she seemed to be doing well, and after this incident, she knew the importance of calmness.

Xia Ling'er writes quietly every day, caressing the qin, although the writing is not good, the qin, but only learned such a song from the girl in the Flower Pavilion, and naturally the piano skills are not much better.

It's just that this character is too ugly to write, and the modern Xia Ling'er can't write calligraphy, so she naturally won't be surprised, but this girl Yuechan finally couldn't stand it, so she said to the princess: "Princess, you used to write very beautifully, and you asked the gentleman to teach the princess." Why can't I write it now?"

Xia Ling'er was also stunned, could it be that the soul of the body owner had completely disappeared? Why don't you have the memory to write? Xia Ling'er asked in a daze, "Really?" So why don't I even remember? Have you learned to write? ”

Yuechan seemed to be even more puzzled and said: "Yuechan also learned to write with the princess, but it is far less beautiful than the princess's writing. ”

Xia Ling'er handed over the pen and paper and said, "Write it to me." ”

Yue Chan took the pen, and in Xia Ling'er's opinion, he wrote easily and fluently.

Xia Ling'er looked at it, it was very beautiful! How long do you have to practice to catch up? How beautiful was the original young lady's handwriting?

Xia Ling'er couldn't help but be a little shocked, and suddenly became annoyed by Yue Chan, it was better to play the piano, compared to writing, this is much easier.

As soon as he sat down at the piano, he asked Yuezen again: "Have I also learned the piano before?" ”

Yue Chan stared at Xia Ling'er with a pair of bright eyes and said, "That's natural, the princess used to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!" ”

Scold...... That's too big a discrepancy, isn't it?

"Did you learn along?" Xia Ling'er asked weakly.

"No, I only learned to write some words with Miss, and I didn't learn anything else, and Mr. said I had no talent, and I couldn't learn it."

It's good that you didn't learn anything else, otherwise you would be a lady, and I would be a maid.

Xia Ling'er played it seriously, it was still that song of the phoenix, and she would only play this song.

The palace maids don't know how to play the piano, and they haven't seen anything in the world outside the palace, so they can listen to the half-baked piano skills of their princesses.

Xia Ling'er couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw the intoxicated appearances one by one, staying in this Qinfang Hall these days was the only way to have fun.

Xia Ling'er asked Yuechan: "How many days have I been grounded?" ”

Yue Chan was stunned, since the princess was banned enough to come, the princess mentioned this matter for the first time, Yue Chan silently calculated in her heart and said: About half a month. ”

Oh, yes! It's been more than half a month, and I don't know if the royal brother has completely lost his anger, and he won't forget me! I haven't heard anything about it in the past few days, how long am I going to stay here?

"Haven't you been here these days?" Xia Ling'er suddenly remembered that after she had been banned, the princess asked her to go back to the Huanyi Bureau, so that she could ask some old people in the palace about her mother, but she never came back. This girl's efficiency is just too poor.

"Not once." Yuezen replied.

I miss the royal brother so much, I really want to go and see him.

"Yixiang, you go and send a message to the imperial brother, just say that I miss him very much, can you go and greet him?" Xia Ling'er said to the palace maid Yixiang.

Yixiang told her: "The princess is grounded, and the slaves and maids are not allowed to leave the palace." ”

Xia Ling'er suddenly looked like a deflated ball, completely out of energy, so what should I do? If the imperial brother forgets me, will it be possible that I will die of old age here?

How could the emperor forget this sister, what she does every day The emperor pays attention to clearly, but the emperor didn't expect that she was also on such a quiet side, writing and stroking the piano every day, which is quite gratifying to the emperor, after all, this must be the daily life that a princess should really have! It's better than the previous women who disguised themselves as men and went out of the palace to hang out. If you don't take precautions, let her stay a little longer, and take care of her temperament, she must be the one who is going to get married.

In just over half a month, the emperor has found a good candidate for Xia Ling'er, and he wants to marry her infinitely, but I'm afraid that the entire harem will know about it, but Xia Ling'er, who was grounded, didn't hear the slightest rumor at all, and only when the imperial brother would let her out.

Although the emperor has made up his mind about the candidate for the horse, he still has to tell the princess in the end.

One afternoon, under Xia Ling'er's thoughts, the emperor finally stepped into the Qinfang Palace, presumably the incident of "going to the mother and leaving the child" had disappeared, otherwise the emperor would not have come.

Xia Ling'er was naturally overjoyed when the emperor arrived, but she must have been grounded for so many days, and there was inevitably a small emotion in her heart.

After the emperor entered the palace gate, Xia Ling'er's originally surprised expression was also put away, and she saluted the emperor listlessly: "Ling'er greets the emperor!" ”

As soon as the emperor heard this tone of reluctance, he knew that this was making him angry with the princess, so he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and the emperor couldn't help but laugh, and didn't try to dismantle her, sat down and drank tea, and looked at Xia Ling'er.

Xia Ling'er bowed her head and stood silently.

The emperor spoke: "Why are you so unhappy to see me come to see you?" ”

The emperor asked knowingly, he was grounded for so many days to come, and he hoped that he couldn't greet him with a smile.

"I thought the imperial brother had forgotten about Ling'er?" Xia Ling'er looked at the emperor coquettishly and said.

The emperor smiled disapprerovingly and said, "What? Think I'm too badly punished? ”

In fact, it can't be said that the punishment is too heavy, it's just that the feeling of being ignored by the royal brother makes her unacceptable.

Xia Ling'er rolled her eyes from side to side and lowered her head.

"Come here, sit here" The emperor motioned for Xia Ling'er to sit beside him.

Xia Ling'er walked over and sat down obediently, still bowing her head and silent, looking depressed.

"Just grounding you is cheaper for you." The emperor pretended to be stern.

"Ling Er knows, naturally she doesn't dare to complain, but she misses the imperial brother too much." Xia Ling'er whispered softly, then raised her head to look at the emperor.

The emperor looked at Xia Ling'er's well-behaved appearance, raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, reached out to stroke the broken hair on Xia Ling'er's forehead, held it behind her ear for her, and said with a sigh: "Ling'er has really grown up!" The royal brother has not yet had time to take good care of you. ”

Xia Ling'er felt that the emperor's words seemed inexplicable, and she didn't know what the emperor was sad about, did time pass too quickly?

Xia Ling'er also smiled mischievously and said: "I don't want to grow up, I didn't know that having a brother would be so good, you have to make up for my previous years." ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "Brother Huang will definitely compensate you well, this is your eternal home." After saying that, I was even more reluctant to let her get married.

I wanted to mention to her today that I wanted to give her a marriage, but now the emperor can't open his mouth, forget it, it's not as good as this time, let's talk about it later!

"Then does your coming here today mean that I have lifted the ban and I am free again?" Xia Ling'er looked at the emperor eagerly with a pair of big bright eyes and asked.

The emperor raised his thick eyebrows, but sold Guanzi: "Well, isn't it good in this Qinfang Palace?" Fuqin writes and writes, self-cultivation, I think it's much better than you go out of the palace every day. ”

"Hmm...... It's not good, it's not good, I still like the freedom outside. Xia Ling'er hurriedly shook her head and denied: "You said that I should be grounded, so I honestly didn't take half a step out of this Qinfang Palace, for the sake of my performance so well, you can always return my freedom, right?" ”

Xia Ling'er began to be coquettish to the royal brother.

The emperor nodded and smiled brightly, and said, "Well, it is indeed a good performance, then you will be free from now on." Get out now if you want to. ”

"Okay!" Xia Ling'er stood up as she spoke, and finally it was over, with a spring breeze on her face.

Looking at the palace maids standing again, they were also happy.

The emperor looked at Xia Ling'er's back as she walked out, and he also smiled heartily.

Out of the Qinfang Palace, the emperor didn't even sit in the sedan chair, so he walked with Xia Ling'er.

As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and this freedom outside is Xia Ling'er's greatest joy, and people walking outside are naturally refreshed.

"Where are we going now?" Xia Ling'er asked.

"I said I was going to take you for horseback riding, so go now! ……”

Xia Ling'er was naturally happy when she heard this, and just wanted to answer yes, she heard the emperor continue: "I happened to make an appointment with Yi Chen, and it is estimated that he is waiting there." ”

Xia Ling'er suddenly stopped when she heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she looked extremely reluctant: "He's there too?" Then I'm still not going, you know I don't like him. He was disappointed when he said that.

The emperor sighed and said: "Actually, don't look at Yi Chen's words and deeds, it seems a little indifferent, but he is a cautious and thoughtful person in his heart, you go to ask Concubine Lan for guilt, don't think that I don't know that he gave you the idea." ”

That's it, Xia Ling'er seems to have forgotten about this, although she helped her, but she still feels very uncomfortable when she thinks of the face he has every time he sees her.

The emperor saw that she was still hesitating, so he pulled her: "Okay, with me, if he dares to be presumptuous, I will clean him up for you." ”

"I wonder, how can you be so good with him? You two are not the same people at all, and you even allow him to enter and leave the palace at will, without even saluting and saying goodbye, I think you treat him closer than my sister. ”

Xia Ling'er muttered enviously as she walked.

"If you don't understand him, you won't understand." The emperor said lightly.

yes, how could I possibly know him? How could I be willing to get to know a ruffian!

But for the sake of the emperor's face, I have to go!

When he arrived at the horse farm, Mu Yichen was really there, I am afraid that he had already ridden several laps, and when he saw the emperor and Xia Ling'er coming, he dismounted and greeted him.

Sure enough, the attention first fell on Xia Ling'er, and she continued to disdain her tone: "Yo, the princess is out of prison!" ”

How could Le Nan not be there? You know, she left her sword behind.

Xia Ling'er seemed to be used to it, and didn't pay attention to Mu Yichen's words, but just said to the emperor: "Brother Huang should give me a knife on my body." He said with a fierce look on his face.

The emperor only smiled calmly, and felt that it was defenseless to make trouble, so he took a step forward, walked straight to a horse, and took the reins from the guard.

Xia Ling'er and Mu Yichen also followed, and Xia Ling'er glanced at Mu Yichen with disgust.

Mu Yichen sneered at her abruptly, with provocation and disdain.

Neither of them spoke again.

The emperor pulled the reins, stroked his beautiful mane twice, turned his head to look at Xia Ling'er and said, "Do you want to run two laps?" ”

Xia Ling'er looked at the fiery tall horse in front of her, she had ridden it before, but it was far from being like this, this tall and majestic horse, she looked at the horse intently, but a trace of doubt appeared on her face.

"Brother Huang, I don't seem to be the same as before." Xia Ling'er spoke, frowning, and even more unbelievable.

The emperor and Mu Yichen looked at her even more puzzled, both puzzled, and even more doubtful that something terrible had happened.

"I wasn't afraid of anything before, but just now, I was thinking in my heart that this horse is so tall and mighty, what if I fall? But I wasn't even afraid of death before. Xia Ling'er said, smiling lightly at herself.

Oh, yes! Because of the uncaring parents of modern Xia Ling'er, she has also honed her strong mind and is not afraid of life and death.

The emperor and Mu Yichen looked at Xia Ling'er in the same surprise, glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts, she must have experienced something, maybe something that made her feel emotional.

Mu Yichen is the most flexible person, and said: "It's also a good thing to know how to cherish life, it seems that this closed-door thinking is still a thing that is beneficial to the body and mind." He said indifferently, and casually turned to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the credit is indispensable!" "It's not serious again.

But it was Mu Yichen's just right kind of impropriety that adjusted the atmosphere well.

"If the princess is worried, don't ride it, it's better to appreciate us, as long as the princess likes it." Mu Yichen said, then raised his foot and kicked the saddle, and jumped on the other horse with the other foot.

The princess just looked at him with resentment, knowing in her heart that he still looked down on her as a princess, and every time he saw her, he looked at her with contempt.

Xia Ling'er took her eyes off Mu Yichen, who was getting farther and farther away, pulled the reins in the emperor's hand, and also struggled to get on the horse.

Xia Ling'er clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and the horse ran slowly and quickly, the horse was also well-behaved, and she ran smoothly, but the speed gradually increased, and Xia Ling'er couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

At this time, Mu Yichen, who had already passed a lap, happened to run to Xia Ling'er's side, deliberately pulled the reins, and ran parallel to Xia Ling'er.

Xia Ling'er was nervous, her body was stiff at this time, and when she turned her head and saw Mu Yichen's ghostly eyes, her heart was inevitably flooded, she was unhappy and unwilling.

Naturally, I don't like to see him the most, and I am unwilling to be looked down upon by him every time.

Xia Ling'er glared at him angrily, and turned her head to look ahead, with arrogance and stubbornness. Clamping the horse's belly again and tightening the reins, the speed has indeed increased a lot, almost galloping, but it is also upside down.

But she seems to be too naΓ―ve, she has only ridden a few times, how could she win Mu Yichen, Xia Ling'er is usually a calm person, and she is more mature and stable beyond her age, but every time she faces Mu Yichen, she becomes moody and angry, and her emotions explode completely uncontrollably.

Xia Ling'er worked hard, but Mu Yichen looked at Xia Ling'er unhurriedly, like a sassy and heroic woman galloping across the grassland, her eyes were like sparkling autumn waves.

In Xia Ling'er's eyes, this scene is a provocation, and it is also a trick. Flow. People.

At this time, the emperor also chased after Xia Ling'er's side and shouted at her: "Don't run so fast, be careful of falling!" ”

Xia Ling'er turned her head and glanced at it, but did not reply to the emperor, and continued to speed up.

"Yes! Princess, it's better to be careful, don't be too reckless. Mu Yichen also said with concern.

If he cared about Xia Ling'er, it was better to stimulate her, but Xia Ling'er didn't pay attention to it.

The emperor looked at Xia Ling'er's resolute appearance, and he was still worried in his heart, this Mu Yichen is really a joke, what should he do if Xia Ling'er has an accident.

I'll have to find a way to separate the two of them.

Because at this time, the three horses running side by side, Xia Ling'er in the middle, Mu Yichen in the inner circle, and the emperor in the outer circle.

I saw that the emperor accelerated the speed of the horse's running, ran in front of the two of them, and ran in the middle position, only then did he deliberately slow down again, forcing Xia Ling'er's horse and Mu Yichen's horse to the left and right of his horse.

It's finally separated.

"Yi Chen, if Ling Er has an accident, I can ask you." The emperor first gave Mu Yichen a warning.

"Ling'er, stop and rest for a while, it's been several laps." The emperor shouted at Xia Ling'er.

Where did she have the heart to count how many laps, and she was fighting with Mu Yichen.

Ling Er glanced at the emperor, and then glanced at Mu Yichen, who was looking at him, as if he was fine, with a frivolous smile on his face.

It seems that this speed is a small amount for them, but they have already done their best.

Thinking of this, Xia Ling'er had no choice but to admit defeat, and slowed down dejectedly, until finally the horse walked upside down.

"The princess is riding well! Looks like I really like it this time. Mu Yichen said with a smile.

Xia Ling'er could hear the meaning of his words, wasn't it the last time he made a fool of himself in archery?

The emperor naturally heard it, and turned his head to Mu Yichen to warn again: "Have you been in the palace too often recently, it seems that I have to think carefully about canceling your right to enter and leave the palace at will."

Xia Ling'er didn't want to pay attention to her, her squinting eyes were arrogant, she kept looking ahead, and after hearing the emperor's words, she turned her head, looked at Mu Yichen through the emperor, and gave him the same contemptuous and sarcastic smile, and smiled even more wantonly.

Mu Yichen looked into the distance with a speechless expression, and muttered helplessly: "Hey, it's really a brother and sister!" The same face flip is faster than a book. He happened to be at the resting pavilion, and as he spoke, he jumped off his horse and went straight into the resting pavilion.

Then the emperor also got off the horse, and reached out to help Xia Ling'er get off the horse.

The three of them all sat down, Xia Ling'er and Mu Yichen looked at each other unfriendly, and then consciously staggered their eyes.

Regarding the performance of Xia Ling'er and Mu Yichen, the emperor naturally saw it in his eyes, so he said even more curiously: "Will the two of you be a pair of enemies in your last life?" Why do you have to treat each other as mortal enemies every time you meet? ”

Mu Yichen and Xia Ling'er were both surprised, and Xia Ling'er was even more unhappy that she was said to be a couple with him.

"How could I treat the princess as a mortal enemy? The emperor is really good at laughing. Mu Yichen said, obviously with a duplicitous expression.

Xia Ling'er snorted coldly with disdain, she didn't even want to say anything to him, she picked up the tea and took two sips.

"Yi Chen, you have been so presumptuous lately, and you will rarely appear in front of the princess in the future." The emperor flashed his eyes and behaved seriously.

The emperor is really infected by Xia Ling'er like her now, and he is used to beating him upside down, every time he doesn't ask him, how could he appear in front of her, he will really open his eyes and say nonsense.

Look at Xia Ling'er raising her eyebrows and squinting her eyes, smiling at him and demonstrating!

Mu Yichen didn't dismantle the emperor, but just propped his hands on the table, tilted his head and just supported his cheeks with his hands, looked ahead and said firmly: "Obey the emperor's holy decree, I will definitely not appear in front of the princess in the future." "Word by word, word by word, clear and powerful. It's like warning the emperor, don't think of letting me accompany you to see the princess in the future.

"Brother Huang, what do you think of his attitude? You are the emperor, how dare he do this to you? ”

The emperor was silent, but Xia Ling'er was particularly angry.

The emperor then looked at Xia Ling'er and said, "And you, in the future, you must respect Little Prince Mu like a brother, remember?" ”

Xia Ling'er pouted and didn't speak.

At this time, Xia Ling'er saw a man walking over from afar, dressed in white, except for Mu Yichen in this palace, there was no second person in civilian clothes to enter and exit, I didn't hear that the imperial brother had any other friends! Isn't Mu Yichen the only one?

The white clothes are getting closer and closer, with a strong body, delicate facial features, and a temperament that looks like a rich son.

Xia Ling'er looked at the emperor suspiciously, and the emperor also looked at the man in white, with a smile, it seemed that he didn't come uninvited, and then he glanced at Mu Yichen, who happened to look at him, and smiled weirdly.

Xia Ling'er glanced at him, and at this time, the man in white had already walked up to the emperor and stepped forward to salute: "Weichen see the emperor!" ”

"Get up!"

"Emperor Xie!"

The self-proclaimed Weichen seems to be a person who is an official in the court, so how can he wear civilian clothes to meet him?

I saw the man in white get up and bow his head to greet Mu Yichen: "Hello little prince Mu!" ”

Mu Yichen nodded and said to him, "This is Princess Xia Ling'er!" ”

Mu Yichen stretched out his hand and pointed at Xia Ling'er, who was sitting in the middle, as if to focus on her.

The man in white had naturally never seen the princess, but he had heard of her name, and when he saw his honored eyes today, he hurriedly greeted the princess: "Say hello to the princess!" Blessed is the princess! ”

After greeting him one by one, he raised his head, Xia Ling'er finally saw his face clearly, a familiar face, obviously he had seen it, where had he seen it?

Oh...... Finally remembered.

Xia Ling'er stretched out a finger and pointed at him and blurted out, surprised: "Oh, I've seen you!" ”

Xia Ling'er stunned the three big men present with one sentence, especially the man in white who was even more puzzled, he seemed to be unable to remember it at all, maybe there was no shadow of a princess in his memory.

"Will the princess recognize the wrong person, why doesn't Weichen remember to see the princess." The man in white said in a daze.

How could she be mistaken, not to mention how good her Xia Ling'er's memory is, just to say that after coming to Jinling, she has not seen a few men, so she naturally remembers it very clearly.

It was the first time he went out of the palace after coming to Jinling, and the first son he asked when he inquired about the Flower Pavilion in Huarong Street to Lenan by example.

"Excuse me, childe, what are the famous Le Fang brothels on Huarong Street?" This is what Xia Ling'er said when they met. Sure it must be him.

He didn't remember that Xia Ling'er was not surprised at all, after all, she was dressed as a woman and a man at that time, and there was no need to make it clear.

Xia Ling'er smiled and said, "It's just a one-sided relationship, it's normal not to remember." ”

"Where did the princess meet Weichen?" The man in white asked.

"Huarong Street." Xia Ling'er replied.

This is not uncommon, his home is on Huarong Street.

So who is this son?

He is the concubine chosen by the emperor for Xia Ling'er, Lu Sizhao, the eldest son of the Lu Xifeng family, the secretary of the military department, and now follows his father to serve the imperial court.

Everyone in Jinling knows that Lu Sizhao is talented and beautiful, and how many ladies and ladies come to the door to ask for matchmaking, and want to tie the knot with him, but he can't look down on him, and there are rumors in Jinling that Lu Sizhao is proud of himself and is not close to women, but it is just that some young ladies who have run into a wall in Lu Mansion deliberately spread rumors.

As soon as Mu Yichen heard the three words of Huarong Street, he snickered in his heart, and he could think of why Lu Sizhao didn't recognize Xia Ling'er, there was still a big difference between women and men.

Holding back his smile, Mu Yichen said, "It seems that the fate of the princess and Lu Gongzi is really predestined." ”

Xia Ling'er was unhappy when she heard Mu Yichen's yin and yang weird tone.

"Yes! It's really fate, although I've only met once, but I think it's much, much better than the fate of meeting Mu Xiaowang often. Xia Ling'er exaggerated her words against her will.

Lu Sizhao smiled inexplicably, it turned out that he didn't know that the emperor intended to choose him as a horse, today it was Mu Yichen who asked him to come to the horse race, this horse candidate, naturally Mu Yichen recommended it.

The emperor saw that Xia Ling'er seemed to like Lu Sizhao very much, at least now it looked like he could talk to Mu Yichen better, and he was quite satisfied with this Lu Sizhao in his heart.

The emperor introduced Xia Ling'er: "This is the son of Lu Xifeng of the Ministry of War, Lu Sizhao." ”

When Xia Ling'er heard it, it's not right, isn't the secretary of the military department Kuching Nan, the father of Lan Guifei? Why did he run out of Lu Xifeng again! Thinking about Xia Ling'er, she asked: "Isn't the secretary of the military department Kuching Nan, the father of Concubine Lan?" ”

The emperor and Mu Yichen were surprised when they heard it, this Xia Ling'er was really attentive to this Lan Guifei, and she could even find out what happened a year ago, but this information didn't seem to be complete.

"He was the first emperor when he was there, and after I ascended the throne, the post of secretary of the military department was Lu Xifeng." The emperor replied calmly and expressionlessly, as if he didn't really want to mention the matter.

Looking at Mu Yichen again, he also looked confused with a clear face, Xia Ling'er was even more puzzled, this Concubine Lan is so favored, why is this happening? But thinking of the affairs of the court, it was not something that she could ask more about as a woman, so she put away her curiosity with interest.
