Chapter Twenty-Six: Unlucky Ghost, Prince
Long Haotian's figure in a bright yellow brocade robe flickered and came to them: "Hehe, let me tell you a secret, my father has made a new noble again!" ”
The emperor canonized the nouveau riche?! What's the secret?
"Long Haotian, your father has made a new nobleman again, are you very happy?" Looking at Long Haotian's bright smiling face, Yan Xin'er quipped.
"I'm not very happy, and I'm not unhappy! But the father is very happy, but the queen mother is not happy! However, I have the opportunity to come to the palace to see Uncle Wang and my little sister-in-law again! Long Haotian replied seriously, and then said, "Eh, little aunt, why don't you call me brother, I'm much older than you!" ”
"Didn't I know your name before? I now know that your name is Long Haotian, so naturally I call you Long Haotian! That doesn't seem to be the reason at all.
Long Haotian scratched his head and thought about it very seriously: "Then I'll call you Xin'er in the future!" Because your name is Xin'er! ”
"Whatever!" Yan Xin'er's tone seemed to be a little displeased.
Long Xuanyu looked at the two children in front of him, one older and one small, and suddenly felt like a wet nurse with children. frowned slightly: "Prince, Xin'er is the princess, it's your aunt!" You can't call her by her name! ”
"But I'm the crown prince! Does she call me by my name differently? Stretching out his hand, he wanted to take Yan Xin'er off Long Xuanyu's arms, "Come, come down and play together!" ”
Yan Xin'er instead wrapped herself around Long Xuanyu's neck, unwilling to go down. Long Xuanyu just picked her up, this is her best enjoyment as a five-year-old girl, so don't go to accompany a little prince to mess around!
"Xin'er, why don't you let me hug you! I can pick you up too! Long Haotian naturally saw Yan Xin'er's displeasure, so he coaxed.
"Don't!" Yan Xin'er said firmly, "You will fall on me!" She wouldn't be stupid enough to let a ten-year-old pick her up, and even if he did, it would be torture, and he would never enjoy it as much as he does now. It's still the arms of Long Xuanyu!
"I won't fall yours, I promise!" Long Haotian looked like he was swearing.
Yan Xin'er ignored Long Haotian and said directly to Long Xuanyu: "Aren't you going to take me for a good visit?" What she was most interested in now was the new workshop that Long Xuanyu had given her.
Long Xuanyu hooked his lips and smiled, and walked towards the workshop with Yan Xin'er in his arms. Prince Long Haotian tilted his head and followed in.
"Wow! Isn't this an incense shop? The most surprised was Long Haotian, looking at everything inside, he couldn't believe it, "Hehe! Uncle Wang has always disliked spices, so he actually set up an incense-making workshop in the palace! Uncle Wang, don't you also want to participate in the once-in-a-decade incense fighting competition? ”
"Incense Fighting Competition?!" Long Xuanyu suddenly remembered that there was such a thing at this moment!
The once-in-a-decade incense fighting contest happens to be this year's turn! Originally, it was once every three years, but then it was changed to five years, and then it was changed to ten years! Because this incense fighting competition directly determines the fate of the prosperity and decline of those incense-making families, every incense fighting competition is a fight to the death, and it also consumes a lot of manpower and financial resources.
All the best incense that has been selected will be directly given as imperial incense for use in the palace! If you can't even rank it, let alone use it in the palace, you can't sell it even if you sell it in the market!
The incense fighting that is too ordinary will make those incense-making families exhausted, so it was changed to once every ten years! However, this once-in-a-decade incense fight has also made these incense-making families pay more attention!
The Yan family is also a family of fragrant fans, although the ancestors have never had a record of winning the championship, but they have never fallen outside the top ten. That is, the kind that can rely on incense making to survive, but it is not eye-catching in the same industry at all. Naturally, it will not invite trouble!
Long Xuanyu thought of this, and suddenly thought that he and Yan Xin'er went to the Yan family that day, and they didn't see the two sons of the Yan family. The Liu family said that they went to Luosheng to buy a batch of spices, could it be that the Yan family wanted to win the championship in the incense fighting competition this time? If that's the case, it makes sense to spend so much energy. It's just that Long Xuanyu still feels that there is something wrong during this period!
The deep eyes looked at Yan Xin'er in her arms little by little, and Yan Xin'er also happened to look at him suspiciously. They seem to be thinking the same thing and have the same questions.
"Why don't you speak?" Long Haotian looked at the two of them strangely, "Could it be that I said it, Uncle Wang is idle and wants to ......."
"This incense shop is for me! Long Haotian, do you have a long brain, does the palace need to go to Douxiang? Yan Xin'er interrupted Long Haotian's words and glared at him with a pair of big watery eyes.
was suddenly reprimanded by Yan Xin'er, Long Haotian's face was full of grievances: "What do you want this incense shop for?" What can you do with such a big incense shop? ”
"Don't you want that kind of fragrance that smells completely natural? So I'm going to get it myself! ”
"Really? You have to make your own incense, just to give me that so-called completely natural incense! The grievance on Long Haotian's face instantly became a surprise, and he didn't question how she could make incense with a little girl. Maybe in his eyes, Yan Xin'er is special!
"Hmm." Yan Xin'er nodded, after all, Long Haotian is the crown prince, as long as he is happy, it is also appropriate to coax him a little!
Seeing Yan Xin'er nodding, Long Haotian was even happier, and he was also full of interest in the things in this workshop! The first thing he focused on was the delicate incense cart, made of fine pear blossom wood, with the thinnest and sharpest blades.
"I know this incense car, and I've seen people use it!" Long Haotian ran over, grabbed a handful of bay leaves and threw them in. Hold the handle of the incense and turn it vigorously. However, as soon as the handle moved with the grinding shaft, those sharp blades bounced out like a hidden weapon that had been made in advance!
"Prince!" Long Xuanyu shouted, but before he could let go of Yan Xin'er in his arms, he swept over and rushed over.
Seeing this, Long Haotian hurriedly let go of the handle, and the bright yellow figure spun sideways, dodging the oncoming blade. No matter how fast his body was, there were still blades slashing through his arms, and bright red blood flowed out instantly.
"How's it going?" Long Xuanyu kicked away the incense cart and stretched out his hand to support Long Haotian, and then let go of Yan Xin'er in his arms.
"It hurts, Uncle Wang!" Long Haotian grabbed his injured arm with his hand, and he had a good-looking handsome face. Since he was a child, he has never been so seriously injured, and he has been cut a long hole by the blade!
Yan Xin'er froze in place, looking at the incense car in horror. How could this happen?
If it were her today, she would definitely be dead! After all, the prince has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and although he has never been on the battlefield, his kung fu is not weak. will get lucky enough to dodge these blades that suddenly fly out!
"Manager Xue, Manager Xue!" Long Xuan Yu shouted angrily, this incense car was sent in by Chief Manager Xue, and this matter must have nothing to do with him!
Manager Xue quickly walked in, and when he saw everything in front of him, he looked very surprised: "Lord Wang, what happened?" ”
"What's going on with this incense car? Are you trying to kill the princess? "If someone really set up a hidden weapon mechanism in this incense car, the person who wants to kill is naturally Yan Xin'er. It's just that I was bumped into by Long Haotian, an eventful ghost, today!
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" Manager Xue was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his legs knelt on the ground, "The slave has followed the prince for so many years, and the prince knows the loyalty of the slave best. How could a slave harm the princess? If something happens to the princess, our entire palace will not be able to get out of the relationship! Perhaps, this incense car has not been used for a long time, so the spring and blade are dislocated! ”
Manager Xue's words are reasonable, he has no reason to harm Yan Xin'er at all!
Yan Xin'er was stunned for a while, and walked towards the incense car. She carefully examined the position of the shaft and blade, and there were indeed signs of natural detachment. Because of the springs that fall off at the same time, those blades eject out as soon as the shaft turns!
However, it is still not possible to rule out traces of artificially caused such shedding.

The prince is really an unlucky ghost! But it's become Xin'er's lucky star!
