Bai Haohong was afraid that Zhan Xue would insult Sven again, so he hurriedly interrupted her impromptu recitation and said, "Zhan Xue, don't either!" Yes! The ground screamed, this kind of boudoir whispering, it is better to whisper it to Liz on the side, so as not to let outsiders hear. ”

Zhan Xue glared at Bai Haohong dissatisfied, and said secretly: "Liz'! Yes! The ground twitched for a long time, and if you didn't talk about her, I only said two words, and you interrupted me. ”

Zhan Xue was about to sneer at each other, but suddenly smiled knowingly and swallowed back what she was going to say, Zhan Xue thought she knew the answer: Bai Haohong didn't interrupt Lizi because he liked her! So Zhan Xue pulled Liz aside, lowered her voice and said, "Brother Bai can be literary and martial, you can't compose poetry, so don't show it off in front of him." How are you cooking? ”

Liz replied, "I love to eat it very much." ”

"People who love food usually cook, you can cook a good dish."

Liz thought to herself, "I haven't had a chance to cook, and if I do, it should be fine." He replied, "Yes." ”

"How about you embroider female red?"

Liz thought again, "Isn't it needlework?" What's so hard! I haven't done it before, and it would be good if I did. Thinking of this, Liz replied confidently, "No problem! I can also sing and dance. ”

Zhan Xue nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will introduce these specialties of yours to Big Brother Bai." ”

The two talked as they walked, and after getting into the carriage, the group continued to the capital.

Zhao Tuo walked for a while, and then returned to the boat, by which time Lizi and his party had already left the river. Zhao Tuo is actually the King of Yan, the half-brother of the current emperor.

King Yan drank tea, recalled the scene when he met Lizi, couldn't help but want to laugh, a sense of happiness welled up in his heart, and he thought: "Why does this king feel happy when he thinks of Lizi, and he completely forgets about mundane things?" Is it because Lizzy is pretty? No, she's definitely not stunning. What is it? Well, Liz looked very soft, her smiling eyes, bright, clear, and moving; That bright smile, without a hint of mortal vulgarity; The generous and decent manners are not a little delicate and pretentious. Liz must be a celestial daughter from the earth, she gave birth to the world just to marry this king. ”

Yan Wang picked up the pen on the table and began to draw Liz, thinking as he painted: "Although it is the first time we meet, there is no strangeness at all, I wonder what Liz's impression of me is?" ”

Thinking about it, Zhan Xue's annoying voice echoed in King Yan's ears: "Liz likes Big Brother Bai very much. King Yan put down the pen, shook his head vigorously, and blurted out: "Lizi was born for this king, she will never like others!" Liz jumped on this boat just to meet the king. ”

"Tell the prince." The voice of the personal guard Wu Qianzhong sounded outside the cabin.

King Yan froze, returned to reality, and said, "Come in." ”

Wu Qianzhong walked into the cabin, and after giving the salute, he said in frustration: "Lord Wang, my subordinates have found out, and that person is not a descendant of Taizu. Another busy day. ”

King Yan still said calmly: "Take your time, Your Majesty didn't urge." The last time this king entered the palace, His Majesty actually forgot about it, and it was the great eunuch Cui Gonggong next to him who reminded him that His Majesty remembered that recently, His Majesty was always absent-minded. Many ministers in the court, especially Prime Minister Li, were also opposed to the search for Taejo's descendants. ”

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have heard some rumors among the people, and I don't know whether to talk about them or not."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"A while ago, when Your Majesty ordered the Eight Sages King to look for the descendants of the Chai family, his subordinates heard in the teahouse that His Majesty's four princes were gone, so his conscience found out and looked for the descendants of the Chai family to atone for his ancestors." Wu Qianzhong paused, saw that King Yan was not angry, and continued: "My subordinates think, Your Majesty ordered to find the descendants of Taizu, is it because the harem has recently given birth to a princess, and Your Majesty has no prince, so ......?"

King Yan sighed and said, "Your Majesty is indeed worried about this matter, so don't talk about it." King Yan looked at Wu Qianzhong and suddenly asked, "What do you think of the white guard?" ”

Wu Qianzhong was a little strange, and replied tentatively: "Lord Bai is a chivalrous and courageous, both civil and military, he is a rare talent, I don't know ...... prince."

"This king knows, what this king wants to ask is: Does the white guard have a woman's relationship?"

"My subordinates heard that there are many girls in the capital, in order to be able to talk to Lord Bai, they deliberately went to the Criminal Department to provide inconsequential clues about the case, but Lord Bai was not moved at all. I don't know why the prince cares about Lord Bai? ”

King Yan didn't hide it, told everything that happened just now, and then asked, "That Zhan Zhutou said, 'Liz likes Big Brother Bai very much. I wonder if that's credible? ”

"Zhan Zhutou is jealous and hateful, and her heart is straightforward, and her subordinates have never heard of her liaring."

Wu Duzhong felt sorry for King Yan, although King Yan already had two side princesses, but they were not very satisfied, and finally fell in love with one, and the rival in love was so strong.

"This king's heart has been taken away from Liz, and I want to marry her no matter what!"

"Why don't you ask Your Majesty to give you an edict to marry?" Wu felt that he had a good idea.

King Yan shook his head, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "If you had met Liz, you wouldn't have come up with the idea of giving marriage." Although Liz is not very beautiful, it is very touching and attractive, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will ...... it when he sees it."

Wu Qianzhong understood that King Yan was worried that the emperor would also fall in love with Lizi and was elected to the palace.

"Be loyal, you go back to the house with this king first, and after returning to Beijing, you are still responsible for finding the descendants of Taizu."

As soon as King Yan and his entourage returned to the palace, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and said, "The prince has worked hard. When you were away, Gonggong Cui, who was next to His Majesty, came to you and inquired about finding the descendants of Taizu. ”

"Got it." King Yan thought to himself: "As the saying goes, it's really good: the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry." In the matter of finding the descendants of Taizu, Gonggong Cui is much more enthusiastic than His Majesty. ”

When King Yan came to the study, he saw the information about Taizu's descendants on the table, and couldn't help but think of the situation when the emperor suddenly recruited himself into the palace:

On that day, the emperor said to King Yan with a serious and stiff expression: "I think that my Great Song Dynasty began with Taizu, and I can't bear the suffering of Taizu's descendants in exile among the people, can the emperor's brother find them for me?" ”

King Yan said with some uneasiness: "Brother Qiqi, when Taizong ascended the throne, there were many rumors, and now it has been a long time, and everyone has forgotten about this matter, why bother to reopen the old accounts and shake the country's foundation?" ”

The emperor still said solemnly and bluntly: "Do it according to the order." ”

King Yan wanted to say something, but when he saw Gonggong Cui waving his hand at him vigorously on the side, he said secretly: "Your Majesty must be in a bad mood, so don't provoke it." Moreover, the plight of Taizu's descendants is indeed sympathetic, since His Majesty insists on looking for it, then look for it. My Majesty and I are half-brothers, and my mother died of illness not long ago, and although I am still in the period of filial piety, Your Majesty trusts me very much, and I must do such a good job. ”

Before King Yan left the palace, Gonggong Cui chased after him again and told King Yan in private: There is no need to find so many descendants of Taizu, His Majesty actually only hopes to find a descendant with both ability and integrity.
