At this time, it was almost sunset, and on the forest side avenue, the palace lights were shining as bright as day, but they were blocked by Merlin, which was a little dim and obscure, just projecting everyone's figures on the ground, dragging out a long and bizarre shadow.

Dan Li seemed to be greatly frightened, his face was as white as snow, his eyes looked directly at the person, dark as black as black jade, condensed into a little because of extreme excitement, and then, slowly, scattered into a daze, his body trembled, and buried his head deeply.

"Girl, are you alright?"

The man shouted worriedly, and saw that the woman in the palace costume in front of him looked dazed and strange, thinking that she had fallen on her head and affected her sanity.

Behind him, someone stepped forward to look, obviously a martial arts master, and after a glance, he knew that he was pushed down by an external force, and suddenly many people looked up at the plum groves on the slope, and their expressions suddenly became vigilant.

The night breeze on the slope is like a lan,

"Beware of the Assassins...... Protecting Childe"

The first person whispered, which suddenly added to the tension.

"Everyone, please be careful"

Shaoqing of the Ministry of Rites, who was in front of him, turned his head and couldn't help but show anger when he heard this, "Taiping and Yan in the palace, where did you come from?" ”

He glanced at the woman he was holding in the hands of the distinguished guest - although he lowered his head, he could still tell from the material of the palace brocade that this was a palace concubine, and her rank was not low

Such an intimate hug...... It's worth it

He struck the spirit suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "Master Heng, please let go of this girl first." ”

He wanted to say "Niangniang", but he felt that it was inappropriate to say it, so he had to be vague.

For the person called "Heng Gongzi", when he heard the voice, he quickly straightened Dan Li, and then stopped his hand in time, nodded and apologized with a smile: "It's me who is abrupt." ”

"Where, Childe is eager to save people's hearts, this can be regarded as a matter of urgency...... Ha ha. ”

He glanced at Dan Li, although he didn't know her identity, he still signaled her to leave quickly, and she should not show her face in front of outsiders without authorization.

Helplessly, Dan Li lowered his head, leaning on the trunk of the tree on the side with his whole body, and the whole person seemed to be completely unresponsive.

Heng Gongzi hesitated for a moment, but still asked with concern: "This girl seems to have injured her foot—can you stand up on your own?" ”

As if hearing his clear and mellow voice, the woman in the palace slowly raised her head-

The brilliance of the palace lamp came into her eyes, the deep black pupils were like a cold pool, so cold that it made people's hearts chill, and then took a closer look, but only to see that the eyes were shining, absolutely like the most charming and bewitching monsters in the world, to suck people's love and hatred into it.

At this moment, Heng Gongzi felt a shock in his heart, and the whole person was stunned on the spot, as if he had quietly stopped breathing.

She smiled slowly, the corners of her eyes were slightly curved, like a rain to dispel the haze in the sky, but with subtle playfulness in the lightness, and there was an innocent and delicate beauty, "Thank you, otherwise I would really fall into a lame leg and break my arm, so what can I do?" ”

Heng Gongzi stared at her, and naturally smiled and responded: "A little thing, why worry about it." ”

At this time, Shaoqing of the Ministry of Rites couldn't bear it anymore, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Master Heng, the time has come, long live is waiting for you in the main hall."

Heng Gongzi blinked, and a surprise flashed in his heart: I actually took the initiative to talk to her unconsciously?

He smiled and nodded, then nodded at Dan Li and walked forward.

Before leaving, he gave her another look before turning away.

Dan Li was still holding on to the trunk of the tree, quietly staring at his departing figure.

"King Jin's beloved son, Heng Gongzi with a peerless reputation......"

She whispered softly, word by word, and although there was a smile in her eyes, it was even colder to make people's hearts tremble-

Stretching out his hand, the ground was suddenly covered with residual plums, red like blood.

When Heng Gongzi walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

His steps are different from the pretending to be steady, but brisk and calm.

In his every move, he showed the elegance of a young nobleman, which others could not learn even if they deliberately imitated him.

If someone looks at him carefully, they will sincerely admit that the word elegance is really different from the weak Sven, but this kind of energetic behavior.

The palace candles illuminated the hall brightly, and when I heard that the distinguished guests had finally arrived, the music turned, and suddenly the quaint and elegant were a little more brisk: it was the "Xiaoya" in the "Book of Songs". Deer chirping.

Heng Gongzi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt like a bosom friend, his red sandalwood sleeves hung lightly, and the jade crown in his hair did not move at all, so he already bowed slightly, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

His smile was sincere and amiable, and his demeanor was flawless—but this gentle salute provoked the already provocative ministers: he didn't even bend his knees

Zuo Xiang smiled coldly, raised his voice slightly, and said: "There should also be rules for worshipping - the dignified prince of the Jin Kingdom is so rude." ”

"This is Lord Zuoxiang......

Heng Gongzi didn't seem to feel this hostility at all, he was still smiling, and the whole person was even more noble under the eyes of thousands of people-although the ministers knew that he was from the enemy, they still felt like a spring breeze.

"I heard that Prime Minister Zuo likes harsh punishments, and when I saw it today, he really had a great demeanor."

He said this sentence with a smile that seemed to be complimentary, but it suffocated Zuo Xiang.

Without waiting for Zuo Xiang to react, Heng Gongzi smiled leisurely and continued: "It's just that Lord Zuo Xiang can't help but play this kind of ruthlessness too much - although Jin is a small country, there is no reason to bend the knee in front of people, adults still take care of their own affairs, and then talk about other things." ”

Emperor Zhaoyuan was on the throne at the top, but he still didn't speak coldly, but the other important ministers were not to be outdone, and said with a smile: "Heng Gongzi is a young man, but he doesn't want to be left behind - it's just that now that the Jin Kingdom is asking for our dynasty, and the reasoning should also be served with courtesy and humility, why is it now buying Qinggui?" ”

He laughed loudly, and many of his courtiers laughed in agreement.

Heng Gongzi also laughed, "There is an ancient story of Yelang's arrogance, and the great Confucian who recorded this interesting story also wanted to educate the people of the foolish country, but he was considered to be greedy for the country's high-ranking officials. The so-called rotten wood cannot be carved, which is probably what it means. ”

The laughter was suddenly suffocated, and all the civil officials blushed, and some of them were stammering with anger.

Most of the civil officials under the command of Emperor Zhaoyuan are new talents who have been recruited, and they have literary talents, but almost all of them are from the Han clan and are ridiculed as hillbillies who "don't know etiquette and don't listen to their ancestors".

Everyone still wanted to laugh, but at this time, they heard Emperor Zhaoyuan shout, "Enough." ”

This sound burst into everyone's hearts, and Heng Gongzi's heart was also shocked, and he couldn't help but look up.

At the same time, a slender purple-clothed figure was tiptoeing in from the side curtain, frightened by this sound and almost falling down.

It's her

Heng Gongzi immediately recognized her.
