The distance of Phoenix Mountain is not too far, but the people who travel are delicate and expensive, and they can't stand too much bumps, so the large army still walked for a full day, and arrived at the camp in the evening.

The princes, nobles, and ministers arrived at the pre-designated camping area, and the subordinates began to set up tents.

Although Murong Ke didn't bring many people, everyone was well-trained, and the tent was set up very quickly.

The camp is very well chosen, flat and wide, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a clear river not far away, which is just right to wash vegetables and fetch water for cooking.

The ladies and princesses of wealthy families who do not leave the door are like birds flying out of the cage, and they are in groups of three or five, taking the maidservants to the river to play and relax.

Ye Lan'er silently looked at the group of warblers and Yanyan, and shook her head incomprehensibly: Did they get chicken blood? Or do you not know how to write tired words at all?

She shook her head, reached out weakly to open the curtain, and got into the tent and lay on the simple wooden bed covered with animal skins.

The bones were falling apart all the way, and after lying down for a while, I fell asleep in a daze.

Being dragged up from the bed in her sleep, Ye Lan'er wiped the saliva on her face: "Murong ...... Lord, what's the matter? ”

"Pack up and go to the big tent."

Ye Lan'er reluctantly wiped her saliva again, and wiped her hair with her hand, even if it was cleaned up.

Murong Ke looked at her like a ghost, and Ye Lan'er pouted: "Lord Wang, if you don't let Cuihuan and Xiaohong come, I won't be able to make up ......"

Murong Ke threw his hand out, Ye Lan'er rolled her eyes and followed behind him like a little tail.

When it came to the so-called "big tent" in Murong Ke's mouth, it was really a huge tent with intricate golden patterns.

Ye Lan'er knew that she was going to see the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Emperor Xia Xian.

For the first time in her two lives, she was still a little excited to see someone with such a noble status.

The long low tables in the tent were connected into a long table, and everyone sat cross-legged on the leather mattresses, which was quite like a nomadic family.

Ye Lan'er saw from a distance that Emperor Xia Xian was dressed in a bright yellow riding suit, even if he was a little fat, he could still see the handsome appearance of his youth. Beside him sat a graceful and luxurious lady surrounded by pearls and emeralds, who must be the current queen.

Behind them, the crown prince, the crown princess, and then the eldest princess, the concubine, and other people Ye Lan'er didn't know.

She also saw that Murong Zhi, the tenth prince, still had a solemn and nervous face, like a primary school student taking an exam.

There were a few people sitting a little farther away, but Ye Lan'er had seen them, and they had come to celebrate Murong Ke's birthday before. Li Zhiyuan, the eldest son of the Zuo Xiang family, Wang Yi, the eldest son of the military department, and Yin Kaixuan, the eldest son of the Taiwei.

Ye Lan'er didn't expect that these sons and brothers would be so faceless in front of the emperor and able to serve in front of the emperor, but when they saw the old guys sitting next to them with "high and powerful" written on their faces, they knew that this was the special treatment of the second generation of officials.

The hunting is to give the children of the family the opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor, and their Lao Tzu has laid a good foundation, so naturally the sons will have more opportunities.

Ye Lan'er looked down on these high-spirited second-generation officials, especially the one named Li Zhiyuan last time, who openly provoked in the Rui Wangfu and wanted to pour Murong Ke's wine, which was really annoying.

Ye Lan'er looked at him with a sharp look, a bit of an enemy who was reddened when he saw each other.

"Son-in-law, see father." Murong Ke approached and saluted.

Ye Lan'er followed behind her and hurriedly knelt down.

Emperor Xia Xian put down the silver wine bottle in his hand and said with a pleasant face: "Ke'er, come quickly, sit next to my father." ”

Murong Ke got up and saw that there was indeed a vacant seat between Murong Yan and Emperor Xia Xian, so he didn't shirk and walked over there with Ye Lan'er.

Murong Ke sat between Murong Yan and Emperor Xia Xian, and the accompanying female officer found a tiger skin cushion and arranged Ye Lan'er behind Murong Ke's right, which was equivalent to being sandwiched between Murong Ke and Murong Yan.

"I heard that you like this beauty that your imperial brother gave you?" Emperor Xia Xian glanced at Ye Lan'er, his eyes could not hide his amazement, but he still asked with a pleasant face and an elder's demeanor.

Murong Ke nodded: "Yes, father, so I really want to thank the imperial brother this time." ”

"Hahaha!" Emperor Xia Xian smiled heartily, continued to look at Ye Lan'er, and asked while signaling her not to get up, "What's your name?" ”

Ye Lan'er pursed her lips and lowered her head deeper.

There were several celebratory fireworks in his heart: Murong Ke was really good, and his great decision to let himself continue to pretend to be dumb was really wise.

Now, if you are not a dumb person, you don't know how many wrong words you have to say and how many times you will cut off your head.

Murong Ke replied for her: "Back to my father's words, her name is Ye Lan'er, she is a mute girl, she can't answer your question, I hope my father will forgive me." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Xia Xian was a little surprised: "Yan'er, why did you send a dumb girl to your brother?" This is also ......"

Murong Ke replied first: "Father, although Lan'er is a mute girl, and she was born in the mountains and wilderness, and she does not know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is kind by nature, pure and simple, I like her very much." ”

Ye Lan'er gave Murong Ke a thumbs up in her heart: These words flattened yourself worthless, didn't you just want to say that your imperial brother was stingy and sent you a defective product? Hum......

Murong Yan smiled deliberately when he heard this: "Yes, yes, Lan'er is really kind and pure, I think Ke'er should like this kind of girl, so I gave her as a birthday gift." ”

Emperor Xia Xian thought it was funny: "Can't speak or write? So how do you know her name? ”

That's right?

Ye Lan'er also expressed curiosity.

Suddenly asked like this, Murong Yan was a little confused. He had never thought about it, and now that he was asked, he realized that things were strange.

He never asked Ye Lan'er's name.

However, it seemed that a voice in the dark told him that this girl was called Ye Lan'er.

Murong Yan smiled: "Father, people who can't write can write their own names, and it's not uncommon?" ”

With that, he drank a glass of wine on his own and suppressed the strangeness in his heart.

Ye Lan'er was behind, but she didn't feel anything strange, she saw the cold and hot dishes on the long case, and was surprised that the imperial kitchen could make such a delicious meal with streamlined equipment in such a wild environment, it was really a god chef.

LEANING FORWARD THIRTY DEGREES INVOLUNTARILY, MY SALIVA WAS HOLDING BACK WHEN I smelled the aroma of the food.

The protagonist of the banquet is Emperor Xia Xian, and his main activity is to care about these young generations one by one, and those who are named are all very excited and respectful, making a look that is ready to shed blood for the emperor and a red heart towards the roots of the great motherland.

Ye Lan'er knelt and sat upright in the back at first, but then she was really tired and couldn't eat, so she scattered.

Quietly reached out and pounded his calf, and then quietly brought his foot forward.

With the presence of the bright and sparkling True Dragon Son of Heaven, no one will pay attention to her, a little ant, Ye Lan'er has this confidence.

However, just as she was rubbing her calves more and more unscrupulously, someone made a very unfunny joke with her.

Prince Murong Yan also quietly stretched out his hand backwards and pinched Ye Lan'er's feet.

Ye Lan'er was startled at first, then her face turned red all of a sudden, and then her heart began to flutter.

She tried to move as hard as she could, pulling her foot back.

But instead of letting go, Murong Yan held it tighter and grasped more, almost wrapping Ye Lan'er's little feet in the palm of his hand.

Ye Lan'er looked at his sitting posture as if nothing happened, and then looked at the equally majestic and domineering tigress princess beside him, and she almost cried.

This Murong Yan, what do you want to do!

Another maidservant brought in new dishes from outside the tent, Ye Lan'er didn't dare to struggle anymore, so she had to cover her feet with a wide hem of her clothes and let Murong Yan pinch it like that.

But Murong Yan was not satisfied with pinching it like this, he touched her calf, tracing the lines on her leg with his thumb, and his movements were indescribably ambiguous.

Ye Lan'er was shocked, ashamed, angry and afraid.

She is a person who has watched a costume TV series, and if she does this kind of thing in front of the emperor, although it is the prince's misconduct, everyone will not think that it is his fault.

In the end, he was dragged out and beaten to death with a stick, and he must have been himself.

Not to mention the TV series, let's talk about it closely, the second prince Murong Zhen was punished by the emperor for breaking his sleeves and beating him to death, isn't it his male favorite?

The more Ye Lan'er thought about it, the more frightened she became, but Murong Yan's movements became more and more daring.

She really had no choice, so she reached out and pulled Murong Ke's sleeve.

Murong Yan seemed to notice her action and immediately withdrew his hand.

Murong Ke turned around, thinking that Ye Lan'er was hungry and couldn't wait, so he frowned helplessly.

After thinking about it, he still took a white porcelain plate, sandwiched a crispy meatloaf from the nearest plate, and handed it to Ye Lan'er.

Ye Lan'er waved her hand and pointed to the outside of the big tent.

Emperor Xia Xian noticed the movement here, and smiled: "Ke'er, it seems that your beauty is uncomfortable here." The hunt is meant to relax, not to be too restrained, and it is okay to go out and walk around. ”

Murong Ke nodded respectfully and said to Ye Lan'er, "Then you go out first." ”

Murong Ke brought Ye Lan'er here, mainly to show Emperor Xia Xian.

Murong Ke has never had a woman by his side, which is a very big unstable factor in Emperor Xia Xian's opinion.

Now that he saw that his own son was accompanied by a woman from a humble background who was not worthy of him, he was not a little angry, but very relieved, and Murong Ke knew that his decision was correct.

When Ye Lan'er heard Emperor Xia Xian's words, she quickly got up and walked out of the big tent as if she had been amnestied.

was so frightened by the crown prince Murong Yan that she didn't even feel tired and hungry, so she hurried to the river, picked up a handful of cold water and rushed it to her face.
