Chapter II
"Hmm." Old Mrs. Dugu nodded with satisfaction, her son's ability to stretch out made her feel a lot more relieved. It's just this daughter, the average woman begins to marry at the age of eleven or twelve, and she can marry at the age of sixteen, her daughter. Since childhood, he has been stubborn, so strong in his bones, how can he be born as delicate and shy as other people's daughters, and his appearance reveals a man's heroic spirit, but there is really a woman's breath that does not let her eyebrows go. It seems to be more impressive than her brother, but ordinary men generally find their wives to find the best of the best, and her daughter is really not easy to find relatives.
The kneeling figure had a straight waist, and she was dressed in a goose-yellow dress boudoir dress. The facial features are distinct, the willow eyebrows have no traces of the painting, the peak is like a distant dai, the skin is like condensation, and there is a bit of a charming appearance in the city, although there is a childish atmosphere, it is not as good as her mother to say that it is like a man.
At this time, a small servant came in from outside the door, and he saluted respectfully. "Old lady, Master Hou, the third prince visits the Hou Mansion."
The eyes of the two kneeling on the ground suddenly focused on the old lady Dugu, the Dugu family has always had no contact with the third prince, it seems that as soon as the old emperor dies, all forces are ready to move, and the foundation of the new emperor is still shallow, and Jiang Guo seems to be about to start to be restless again.
"You get up first, and follow me to meet these three princes for a while."
After receiving the mother's order, the two stood up and followed the mother to the hall, where on the side seat next to the main seat sat a man of the same age as the old lady Dugu. He was dressed in an indigo robe, and when he saw the old lady Dugu and her children coming, he got up. "Tang suddenly visited, and I hope the old lady Hou Ye will forgive me."
"Meet the Third Prince." The Dugu family saluted together.
The third prince hurriedly helped him up. "Old lady, Lord Hou, please get up quickly."
After taking a seat, soon someone brought tea and snacks, the third prince's name is Jiang Chuankang, who is the younger brother of the first emperor, but he has a shallow relationship with the new emperor. Originally, he originally hoped that the fourth prince, Jiang Muyan, would ascend to the throne, but it really backfired.
"This must be the old lady's daughter!" The third prince looked at Dugu and asked.
"She is a little girl, and she is lonely and sorry."
"She is worthy of being the daughter of a lonely family, and her temperament and appearance are really extraordinary." The third prince looked at Dugu and said approvingly.
"Thank you for the compliment." Dugu Xixun thanked him lightly, and there was no extra expression on his face.
"I don't know why the third prince came today." Dugu Qingyan asked.
"I heard that Lord Hou and Fu Yi were given marriage by the emperor, as Uncle Fu Yi, we will be a family in the future." A hint of obscurity flashed in the eyes of the third prince, and he continued. "Today, I came to give Hou Ye a gift, I hope Hou Ye will not dislike it."
"The third prince is polite."
It turned out to be a gift, but looking at the words of the third prince, the gift seemed not so simple, and then the two sides exchanged a few words, and the third prince postponed having something to go. The Dugu family was sent to the third prince to Fukou, and the carriage was already waiting at Fukou. Before leaving, the third prince glanced at Dugu Xixun inscrutablely.
The family returned to the hall, and at this time, a young man brought a painting.
"The third prince sent it."
"Oh." Dugu Qingyanhu was suspicious, and then curiously took the painting and opened it on the table.
It's not a landscape painting, there is only a handsome young man in the painting, he stands with his hands in his hands, wearing a blue robe, the color is vivid, and the painting is exquisite. The auspicious clouds hooked on the robe were also depicted, and the young man's expression was noble and indifferent. It's just that the age doesn't seem to be very old, and there are a few words below. 'The one who inherits the throne is only my fourth son. Next to a few words, there was actually the author of the painting and a pattern that shocked them, the author was actually the old emperor Jiang Chuanhui, and there was a jade seal on it.
It took a long time for the old lady Dugu to calm down the shock in her heart, and ordered someone to put the painting away. "See, the situation between the DPRK and China is turbulent."
Dugu Qingyan and Dugu Xixun didn't talk, when Dugu Xixun just saw the painting, she felt that the young man in the painting was a little familiar, she recalled it carefully, and then remembered. But she said that when she was young, she went out with her mother and defeated the Western Chu army and returned to the dynasty. When she came back, it was the Lantern Festival, and during the Lantern Festival, her mother ordered her to take a few maids to the temple to offer incense. Halfway through, he met a few robbers who robbed houses and houses, and the robbers were more than 20 people, and they cut off their horses and fainted. A few maids had no power to tie the chickens, so Dugu Xixun lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.
"Yo, there is also a beauty, it seems that she can not only rob money." A one-eyed robber said lightly, with a flirtatious taste in his tone, and an unblinded eye looked at Dugu Xixun.
"Big brother, this girl has a good appearance, I will arrest you and be the wife of the village." The man next to him proposed.
The one-eyed robber nodded and instructed. "Be careful, don't hurt my beauty."
Dugu Xixun sneered, the robbers surrounded her, the children of the Dugu family, who have practiced martial arts for generations, how can martial arts be underestimated, after a few rounds, she did not make a killer, but the robbers no longer underestimate her, although the robbers are overwhelming, but they do not have the upper hand at all.
Knowing that she didn't win, a robber didn't know what to say next to the one-eyed robber. The one-eyed robber nodded, and then several robbers surrounded her, and after a fight, the one-eyed robber took advantage of her unpreparedness and took out a packet of powder and threw it at her. Dugu Xixun didn't notice it, but suddenly felt that the air suddenly became suffocating to her, and her consciousness began to slowly become blurred. She subconsciously retreated, her hands hanging weakly, and she fell unsteadily all of a sudden.
When she woke up, she was already lying on a bed, and the maid next to her who was wiping her was the same person who accompanied her on the trip.
"Miss, you're awake."
Dugu Xixun frowned, looked around the environment, and asked. "Where is this?"
"Miss don't worry, it was a son who saved us, and we are in the temple where Miss wants to incense." The maid replied.
"Childe?" Dugu regretted her doubts, stood up and sat up, because of her perennial martial arts practice, her body was not as weak as others. "Where is he now?"
"I didn't go far in the next." As soon as he finished speaking, a young man walked in, his face was delicate but detached, with a high nose, a white brocade robe, and a golden belt around his waist. Seeing that the dress is by no means the son of an ordinary family, the whole person exudes a noble kingly atmosphere, and the evil face reveals a kind of careless maturity.
"Thank you for the life-saving grace of Childe, he will repay him one day." Dugu regretted looking for a hand to thank him.
"Since the salvation is saved. How can you expect anything in return, so be it! When I rescued the girl, I liked the silver chain around the girl's neck very much, and I wondered if the girl could give it to her. With that, he raised his hand and opened it, and a silver necklace appeared in his hand.
