Back in the mansion, the housekeeper stepped forward and said, "General, Miss, Old General and Second Young Master, Second Miss has arrived." ”

I frowned slightly, "What? ”

Duan Zhixuan also frowned, the two of us glanced at each other, Duan Zhixuan turned his head to look inside the door.

"Why did they come from Taiyuan?"

"Brother, let's go in and have a look!"

Duan Zhixuan nodded, and I followed him into the hall, only to see Duan Yanshi sitting in the upper position of the hall, and Duan Zhiyuan and Duan Xiuya were sitting in the lower position on the left side, and the three of them were drinking tea calmly, not at all that they were outsiders!

Duan Zhixuan and I said hello lightly, and sat down in the lower right position on his own, looking at the two brothers and sisters opposite, they have grown a lot after not seeing each other for a few years, Duan Xiuya is a little smarter, and this Zhiyuan is now completely a copy of Duan Yanshi.

I looked at the brother and sister opposite, and frowned slightly as my eyes swept over Duan Zhiyuan. That Duan Zhiyuan has been looking at me with a lewd look since I came in. Seriously, I don't want to see this father and son at all, it's best to never get along with each other for the rest of my life, there is always a premonition that as long as I see them, it will be fine!

I didn't look over my head anymore to look at them, Duan Zhixuan opened his mouth and asked, "Why did my father come to Chang'an?" ”

Duan Yanshi looked at Duan Zhixuan and me, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"My father received an order from the emperor this time to escort the Turkic Great Khan and the Turkic princess to Chang'an." After that, he looked at me and frowned slightly, then turned his head to look at the two brothers and sisters opposite and said, "This time I came back, there is another thing that is Lian'er's lifelong event." ”

I laughed in my heart, Duan Zhixuan frowned and looked at Duan Xiuya opposite. I was about to speak, but I grabbed him, he turned to look at me, and I shook my head slightly, signaling him not to say much.

Duan Yanshi looked at our brother and sister, raised his hand and stroked his beard, and then continued: "Tonight, the palace will hold a dinner to welcome the Turkic Khan, Xiong'er is now the second protector of the King of Qin's right army dinner is invited, Yue'er is still young and will stay in the mansion for the time being, you and I will take Lian'er and Hua'er to go together tonight!" ”

I smiled and didn't speak, Duan Zhixuan looked at Duan Yanshi and frowned slightly: "Father, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, His Royal Highness King Qin specially explained, and asked me to bring Yue'er with me tonight." ”

Duan Yanshi was slightly stunned, and his eyes looked at me with a hint of doubt.

I didn't look at him either, I turned my head to look at Duan Zhixuan, Duan Zhixuan also looked at me, and the two of them knew each other. It's a tacit understanding! In fact, Li Shimin did not have anything to explain at all.

…

In the end, it was decided that I would enter the palace with Duan Zhixuan, and Duan Zhiyuan and Duan Xiuya, two brothers and sisters, would follow Duan Yanshi.

Today, Li Yuan invited all the officials above the fifth rank to bring their families into the palace, and I heard that the Turkic Great Khan not only brought his youngest daughter, but also his most beloved eldest son.

I always feel that something is going to happen today, and I always have a bad premonition in my heart.

"What's wrong?" Duan Zhixuan asked suddenly.

I turned my head to look at him, and he was a little worried. I smiled and shook my head, "It's fine." ”

Duan Zhixuan raised his hand and took my hand to play with it, looked up at me and said, "Yue'er, no matter what, my brother will protect you." You just have to be happy and happy. ”

I looked at the person in front of me, my heart was full of warmth, I raised my hand to put my arm around him, rested my head on his shoulder, and smiled, "Thank you, brother." ”

Duan Zhixuan was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "If you really want to thank me, don't say goodbye without saying goodbye like last time." ”

I couldn't help but laugh and nodded over his shoulder, and he raised his hand and touched my head.

Soon the carriage stopped at the palace gate, and everyone had to get out of the carriage and walk into the palace without carrying any weapons.

Before getting out of the car, Duan Zhixuan took out a veil and said, "Bring this." ”

I looked at the white veil on his hand and took it with a smile. Duan Zhixuan helped me get out of the carriage, I was dressed in white today and was very elegant, standing in the crowd and not eye-catching, but just like that, there was still a familiar voice behind me.

"Yue'er!"

I turned to look at the man who came over, bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Mowgli." ”

"Brother Duan is polite." The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand.

Duan Zhixuan also bowed his hand in return, "Brother Eldest Sun is polite." ”

Don't say that this eldest grandson Wuji looks good in itself, but he is a little hangy on weekdays. The court clothes I wore today looked serious, and I still looked dignified, handsome and chic.

"Yue'er, who is this?"

The voice behind me made me frown slightly, and I turned my head to look in the direction of the sound source, only to see Duan Xiuya, dressed in red, dressed enchantingly.

The eldest grandson Wuji also followed the voice, and then replied with a smile: "Under the eldest grandson Wuji, the word auxiliary machine." What is the girl? ”

Duan Xiuya saw the eldest grandson Wuji talking to her, so she twisted her small waist and stepped forward and said slightly: "The little girl's surname is Duan, the word is Lian, and her name is Xiuya." is Yue'er's second sister. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Oh, why haven't I heard Yue'er mention it." ”

I saw Duan Xiuya stunned slightly, and then her face turned a little pale, and I raised the corners of my mouth slightly, it was really boring and embarrassing.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at me with a smile and asked, "Yue'er, this is your mistake, there is such a stunning sister in the family, I only found out today." ”

I looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said with a sincere face, and couldn't help laughing, as long as this person is sincere, it is not a good thing.

No, Duan Xiuya looked surprised, and was just about to open her mouth to express her shyness, when she heard the eldest grandson Wuji continue: "However, no matter how beautiful you are, you can't match Yue'er's current appearance, Yue'er, sometimes you big brother Wuji and I are wondering if you are your eldest brother's sister-in-law." Isn't it a fairy who is mortal in the nine heavens? ”

I really couldn't help laughing, this person is really good at lip service, this time he hit Duan Xiuya, not to mention, but also sarcastically mocked Duan Zhixuan.

Duan Zhixuan frowned slightly, looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, I quickly interjected: "Okay, okay, Yue'er, thank you Brother Wuji for your love, let's go!" The party is about to begin. ”

The three of them walked towards the palace side by side, and behind them, Duan Xiuya clenched her fists and was resentful.

The banquet took place outside the main hall and was lit around it with numerous lanterns, candlesticks and braziers. The whole square is illuminated as if it were daylight. There was a huge stage in the middle of the stage, surrounded by a canal, and I couldn't help but sigh that people in ancient times could have designed such a modern stage.

There were already dancing girls dancing on it, and the stage was set up on a small stepped platform with the court band playing instruments. There are pipa, erhu, chime, flute, flute, se, qin, xun, sheng and drum, and some strange musical instruments that can't be named. I didn't see so much at the last banquet.

"Yue'er, I'll take my leave first, I'll see you later."

The eldest grandson Wuji said goodbye to us, and I sat next to Duan Zhixuan, with Duan Yanshi's separate position on the right, and behind him were the two brothers and sisters, Duan Zhiyuan and Duan Xiuya. I turned my head slightly to look at the two siblings behind him, and happened to meet their gaze. I raised the corners of my mouth lightly, this is the difference between my sister-in-law, and my brother-in-law Duan Zhixuan has an official position, so his status is naturally different.

Now that Duan Yanshi and Duan Zhixuan's official positions have also improved a lot compared to before, there are naturally more people who come to toast than before.

Duan Zhixuan had already drunk almost a pot, but I wasn't worried about the amount of alcohol the soldier had drunk, I just sat quietly beside him, looking around, the figure of the person I was looking for.

Duan Xiuya walked up to me with a wine glass and said, "Yue'er, my sister knows that you don't like my sister and look down on my sister, but you are always my sister, and my sister won't blame you." Now that the eldest sister is gone, our two sisters should help each other even more and honor our father. ”

She said this coincidentally, just when a minister brought his son to toast Duan Yanshi, the voice was not loud but just enough to be heard.

I smiled disdainfully under the veil, then looked up at her and said, "Who do you think can bear to be called a sister to the daughter of a mother-killing enemy?" I'm quiet and good, and I haven't been generous enough to that extent. ”

I saw Duan Xiuya stunned in place, her face turned from blue to white, and she became bloodless.

"Enough!" Duan Yanshi angrily slapped the wine glass on the table and said, the wine in the cup spilled out, and then turned his head to look at Duan Xiuya and said, "Go back to your position!" ”

Duan Xiuya lowered her head and returned to her position, Duan Yanshi frowned and looked at me, and I didn't bother to look at him.

Under the table, Duan Zhixuan put his big palm on the back of my hand, patted it lightly to show comfort, and then turned his head to look at Duan Yanshi and said, "Father, Yue'er has a childish temper. As he spoke, he looked at the adult who was stunned in place for the toast, "I hope that adults don't worry about children, I will accompany adults on behalf of my little sister, so that adults can laugh." ”

The adult smiled embarrassedly and said, "Where, my sisters have a temper, and my family is the same, the general is polite." ”

With that, Duan Zhixuan raised his wine glass and toasted a glass of wine to the adult. The lord raised his glass and drank it, and then took his leave.
