As soon as Li Hua stepped into the temple gate, he saw a little girl wearing a pale pink smoke cloud butterfly skirt with a bright smile running towards him in a hurry.

"Yue'er walked slowly, and fell carefully." The gentle but majestic voice of the imperial concubine followed the approaching steps of Princess Hengyang.

"Sister Painting! Yue'er misses you so much, you haven't come to play with Yue'er recently. The little girl in front of her pouted with a cherry mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and her round little face looked even more cute.

In order to prevent her from falling, Li Hua hurriedly opened her hands, leaned down slightly and took her into her arms and said: "How could Yue'er think so, it's too late for Sister Hua'er to like Yue'er, don't be unhappy with Hua'er." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Tan Jingyue took her slightly squatting figure, put her hands around her neck, and then whispered in her ear: "Sister Hua'er is upset about the family affairs of the fourth emperor brother?" This banquet is for the three emperor brothers, and I will send the four emperor brothers away in a while, can you go to the banquet to meet him and solve the lovesickness? ”

Li Hua's body stiffened when she heard this, the people of the Tan family were all thoughtful, Princess Hengyang was just a twelve-year-old girl who saw everything in her eyes, Princess Hengyang was raised by her, the two were familiar with each other, Li Hua was secretly shocked that she had touched her mind so thoroughly. But no matter how thorough she is, she is just a little girl after all, she can't see the overall situation of the world clearly, and she only does things according to her own preferences, which is not mature enough.

Thinking of this, Li Hua smiled lightly and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Princess Hengyang's kindness, the courtiers have it, but this marriage is a holy decree, not a child's play, and I hope the princess will not make the emperor angry." ”

Li Hua deliberately changed her familiar tone and called her a princess instead of her name, intending to tell her her identity and not to do anything that violated her identity.

Tan Jingyue pursed her lips when she heard this, but she didn't say much, only replied softly: "Yue'er understands." Although Li Hua is only a county lord, she treats Princess Hengyang very well, in Tan Jingyue's heart, she has long been not a courtier, but more like a sister or a future sister-in-law, treating her differently from others.

"Painting, Yue'er, come over for dinner." The emperor's loving but slightly old voice came.

Li Hua took Tan Jingyue's hand and endured the pain in her ankle and walked to the main seat, and saluted the emperor, the queen and the imperial concubine one by one.

Tan Jingrui's gaze has been lingering on her since Li Hua entered the door, and the hands under the dining table can't help but clench tightly into fists.

Tan Jingchen, who was sitting on the side, naturally saw the strangeness of Tan Jingrui, and called him softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Tan Jingrui heard his voice and came back to his senses, he called him Ah Rui on weekdays, even the royal brother rarely called, but he called him His Royal Highness the Prince, this was to warn him with his identity, how could Tan Jingrui not understand the meaning of this, so he had to suppress the thoughts of Li Hua in his heart and look at the delicacies on the table.

"What's wrong with this leg?" Naturally, everyone present saw the strange appearance of Li Hua's walking posture, and the emperor asked.

"The painting is playful, and I accidentally fell, and I hope the emperor will not blame him." Li Hua's eyes darkened, and he bowed his head slightly and replied.

"But you're going to the doctor?"

"It's all because the painting is playful, but the emperor's uncle has to take care of such a trivial matter, and the painting shouldn't be. The painting is no longer in serious trouble, and Uncle Huang should worry about me. ”

Tan Jingchen took a sip of Chinese tea, and said in her heart that when this girl was sober, she spoke in a moderation, gentle and polite, but it also made people unable to find fault for a while, and it was reasonable for Ari to like a girl like this. Thinking of this, Tan Jingchen raised his eyes and glanced at Li Hua, and it happened that Li Hua was also raising his head at this time, looking at each other.

Li Hua's heart seemed to skip a beat, and he always felt that King Jing's eyes had an inexplicable sense of inquiry.

"Miss Li Wu just turned around and left, and she didn't even say thank you very sincerely." Tan Jingchen saw her eyes sweeping straight towards her, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and suddenly there was a trace of "I saved your life, you should always get some compensation".

Li Hua's body stiffened, and the tea cup in his hand shook lightly.

Tan Jingchen took in the small movements in her hands, knowing that she was panicking. It turns out that she is not so calm as she seems.

Li Hua's heartbeat couldn't help but beat a few beats faster, could it be that his previous speculation was wrong, His Royal Highness King Jing was really bored to this point, and he was happy with the life and death of a little woman, if this was the case, then this bearing was too small.

"Thank you His Royal Highness King Jing for helping, the courtiers are grateful, but the courtiers have been afraid of pain since they were young, so they sprained their feet, and the courtiers are in a hurry to go back to heal, and they haven't thought about it, and they hope that His Royal Highness King Jing will forgive their sins." Even though Li Hua's heart turned a thousand times, his tone was flat.

She was well disguised, and Tan Jingchen had a smile in her eyes when she saw this.

Tan Jingrui knew that Tan Jingchen would hide the truth in his face, but he didn't know what happened between them, at this time, his eyes kept flowing between the two, but the tea cup in his hand was getting tighter and tighter.

"Chen'er and Hua'er have already met before the dinner?" The Emperor looked at the interaction between the two and asked with a slight groan.

"Erchen happened to meet Miss Li who was loitering, she was too greedy for joy, and she almost fell into the lake without paying attention to her feet, so I helped her by hand, but unfortunately she still sprained her foot, but she seemed to be very prejudiced against me, a life-saving benefactor." He answered the emperor's question, but kept looking in the direction of Li Hua.

When the imperial concubine saw her son's appearance when he answered, her eyes darkened. The people of the Great Jin Dynasty are open, and it is not a big deal for him to help Miss Li Wu, others don't understand, but even if his son rarely accompanies him, he still understands him as a mother, with his temperament...... Not to mention that he was about to fall into the lake, even if he was about to drown in the lake, he would not be so kind to help, not to mention that he had never had a skin-to-skin relationship with a woman, and the outside world even rumored that he was good at Longyang, there were only two possibilities for him to do this time, the first was to know about Miss Li Wu and the prince, and save her for the prince's sake, and the second was that he was interested in Miss Li Wu......

As for which one it is, it remains to be considered.

"Hua'er, in two days, you are going to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings, and now you have sprained your foot, but you can still go?" The imperial concubine asked with a smile on her face.

Li Hua didn't know if it was his own illusion, as if since King Jing finished answering, there was a trace of unclear meaning in the eyes of the imperial concubine.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the painting's leg injury is not so serious that he can't walk, just a small injury, and he will recover some after two days, and the annual blessing service is inevitable, otherwise it seems insincere, and how can he be blessed by the ancestors. What's more, at this time of year, the cherries of Hanshan Temple are particularly ruddy, and the mother knows that the painting loves to eat cherries since she was a child, so how can she miss it. Li smiled on the picture, slightly blessed, and responded generously.

"Hua'er's words reminded the palace, Chen'er often followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the former queen's side when she was a child, and after a long time, she loved to eat cherries as much as the former queen, but after many years, I don't know if I still like it now?"

"Erchen never thought that the mother still remembered, the son-in-law was studying abroad, and he hadn't eaten cherries for a long time, and the mother concubine was talking about it now, and the son-in-law was a little greedy, I heard that the cherries in Hanshan Temple were the reddest, biggest and sweetest cherries in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the cherries in Mu Lin Garden were given to the first queen by her father, Miss Li might as well bring some back to me by the way when she went to Hanshan Temple this time, and I was a thank you gift for saving you, do you think it's good?" A hint of cunning flashed in Tan Jingchen's eyes.

"How can anyone take the initiative to ask the girl's family for a thank you gift, you are a prince, don't lose my face." The emperor was slightly surprised when he heard this, his son, who has always been silent, actually said these words today, or to a girl's family, to be honest, he hoped that Li Hua, this girl, could be his daughter-in-law, but in the current situation, the prince could not accept her as a concubine, if she could be in love with King Jing, it would also be a good marriage, thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but have some smiles and calculations in his eyes.

"It's okay, since His Royal Highness King Jing likes it, the courtiers will bring more of them, and the courtiers originally wanted to bring some back to eat for themselves, but now it's just a difference between more and less." Li Hua was afraid that King Jing would make some shocking requests, so he hurriedly responded.

After his stirring, it diverted her attention to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a lot.

The other people in the palace today are all people in the palace, and they know more or less about Miss Li Wu and His Royal Highness the Prince, seeing that the topic has been revolving around His Royal Highness King Jing and Miss Li Wu, naturally no one is stupid enough to introduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be uninteresting, so Tan Jingrui has not spoken so far, and he also knows that it is inconvenient for him to speak, so he only drinks tea lightly on the side, but his eyes are darker.

On the one hand, Tan Jingrui didn't want the prince to be involved with this Miss Li Wu anymore, so he deliberately drew his eyes to himself, and on the other hand, he wanted to draw a dismount for Li, so that she could see the situation clearly, and not to muddy the pool of water that was finally clarified.
