Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er decided to leave for a walk in the prince's palace immediately, and asked the princess about marrying the Huns this time. Ask him why the Han family wants to confuse the real with the false, and why they deceive the Xiongnu. Can't ask the emperor and the queen directly, then he and the prince are the same age, and it's easy to say anything, and I feel that the prince is gentle and kind, and the prince won't tie her up, even if he finds out that he already knows about the fake princess, he also feels that the prince won't be a great threat to them, and at first glance, he feels that the prince of the Han family is elegant and graceful, and he will not do things like his father.

Sha Ling'er changed into a bearded dress again and combed her hair. Niu Hu'er brought in a slender little palace maid from outside, as a guide, Sha Ling'er saw that Niu Hu'er was doing things so carefully, so she smiled at her euphemistically, they didn't know where the prince's palace was, so they had to let the palace maid lead the way.

Out of his Zhaoming Palace, Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er walked side by side, and the little palace maid in front led the way to the east with a lantern alone.

The two took advantage of the blurred night to look at the scenery on the road to the prince's palace, although the night was not clear, there was a dim yellow palace lamp shining on the road every hundred meters on both sides of the road to the prince's palace, and the surrounding was quiet except for the soldiers guarding it. You can also vaguely see the solemn buildings in the distance towering in the night, and there are hollow carved windows on the pavilions on both sides. Sha Ling'er already had a good feeling for the prince at first sight, so she also wanted to take this opportunity to see the palace where he lived and the night scene around it. It was very cold at night, and occasionally a cold wind blew, and both of them wrapped their clothes tightly.

Getting closer and closer to the prince's palace, it is the palace of the prince of a country, the high-rise pavilion road, and the compound road is connected. There are five ridges and six beasts on the floor - the fox is a fierce one, a prison cow, a raccoon car, a mocking wind, a prison prison, a kiss, a stump, a negative one, a squint and other beast images are embedded in the corner of the hall, and the one who is powerful and blessed is the main hall to suppress evil. The crown prince's palace is high and unsightly, majestic and majestic, majestic and magnificent. Outside the hall, there are guards on duty, all with serious faces, standing strong and straight, holding halberds or spears in their hands, and they are serious and dare not let people approach.

The little palace maid took the two of them to the outside of the prince's palace, but was about to enter but was stopped by two guards, and said in a serious voice with a blank face, "This is the prince's palace, don't approach anyone." The serious tone is straightforward and respectful.

"This is Princess Sha Ling'er of the Xiongnu Kingdom, if you have something important to see the prince, please let me know." The little palace maid said unhurriedly with the palace lamp in her hand, and then got out of the way and asked the guards to see Sha Ling'er's face clearly, it seems that the little palace maid has been accustomed to such an obstruction in the palace, and she can deal with it in an orderly manner.

The guard poked his head out under the light of the palace lamp in the hands of the little palace maid and looked at Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er vaguely.

"I'll report." The guard said to the other little soldier beside him, explained a little, and went in.

After a while, the guard came out, nodded politely to Sha Ling'er, made a gesture of please, "Princess, please." ”

Sha Ling'er waved her hand to the little palace maid and told her to go down, and she and Niu Hu'er both entered the prince's palace.

The grand hall is lit with palace lamps, and the center of the hall is written in the three big characters of 'Prince Palace'. The stone road is clean and cool, there are two stone lions squatting on both sides of the hall, and the ancient trees with fallen leaves in the temple courtyard stand quietly in the wind. In the dark night, I vaguely saw the intrigue corner of the building, and there were more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs standing on duty in the courtyard, all of them quiet, standing motionless.

Sha Ling'er looked at them curiously as she walked into the hall side by side with Niu Hu'er.

The hall is lit with bright candles, and eight vermilion pillars support the whole hall, and the pillars are supported by apricot wood, which is quite fragrant with apricots. Walking inside, there are several unique silk paintings of the Han Dynasty hanging in the center, and the pictures of smart landscapes, birds and beasts are painted in the paintings, which are very vivid. In the hall on the left, pale yellow silk is hung, and in a quiet corner of the room there are beautiful redbuds that have just bloomed, which is very lovely.

Not long after walking inside, there was a young man sitting on the ground in front of a screen, facing Sha Ling'er and Niu Hu'er, several cases were full of shiny things, and there seemed to be a small knife, which flickered faintly in the candlelight, and the young man lowered his head and fiddled, as if he hadn't noticed anyone coming in, and was concentrating on fiddling with his own things. Sha Ling'er didn't bother him, and quietly approached him to watch his every move, so careful, so good-looking contoured cheeks, like a Song Yu alive.

Looking down at the thing he was fiddling with again, Sha Ling'er opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful." ”

As if hearing and discovering others, the crown prince Liu Ying raised his head to look at her, immediately stopped fiddling with the things in his hand, stood up and bowed to her politely, "Princess Xianmei." ”

Sha Ling'er smiled, bowed politely, and said with a smile: "Brother Prince." ”

Liu Ying invited her to sit down, and Niu Hu'er stood beside her at any time.

Liu Ying also sat down and sat opposite her.

"Come on, serve tea." Liu Ying turned her head to the palace maid and said, Sha Ling'er immediately stopped him, "No need, we have eaten and drunk enough, we can't drink anymore, and the prince and elder brother don't need to be polite." ”

Liu Ying let out a soft 'oh' and said, "Why did the princess visit the office late at night?" ”

Sha Ling'er's eyes at this time all fell on the things on the case, and she didn't hear what Liu Ying said to her, it turned out that the cases were full of a few pieces of beautiful jade, including jade huang, jade and jade, all carved with beautiful patterns, with auspicious dragons, birds and beasts, cirrus clouds, children, and some also wrote some words, such as Changle Weiyang, such as the word Fu.

Sha Ling'er picked up a piece of jade pendant casually, and looked left and right under the light of the candlelight, her eyes were full of love, she couldn't put it down, and laughed unconsciously.

Liu Ying raised her eyebrows, propped her hand on a few cases, looked at Sha Ling'er, and smiled.

"Does the prince like these things?" Sha Ling'er asked as she watched.

"Jade, the essence of the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, is very spiritual. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Kong Zhongni said: The gentleman is more than the jade. Jade is a symbol of the pure virtue of a gentleman, and most of the people in our Han family are wearing jade, the so-called 'gentleman has no reason, and jade does not go to the body'. When I went to see my mother today, I saw that the princess had been staring at the jade Huang on my waist, so I thought that the princess must like these beautiful jade things, and thought that there were few beautiful jade in the Xiongnu country, so I thought that it would be good to give Xian Mei a piece of jade as a souvenir. Liu Ying said.

"Really? Is Brother really going to give it to me? Sha Ling'er held the jade pendant in her hand and held it in her arms excitedly, she was very happy that Liu Ying took the initiative to send her precious things, but she didn't expect it.

Liu Ying nodded with a smile.

"Doesn't your Han family have such a poem? There are female peers, Yan Ru Shunying, will soar, and Peiyu will general. Although I don't know the exact meaning, but I have always liked this sentence, can the prince explain the meaning of this sentence for me? Sha Ling'er held the jade pendant in her hand and looked at Liu Ying with a smile and asked.

Liu Ying's eyes lit up, isn't this a poem about the love between men and women? How do you explain it to her, and will there be any misunderstanding? Liu Ying's face was embarrassed, she smiled awkwardly, and said, "This, I don't know much about this." ”

Sha Ling'er said softly, and looked at the jade pendant in her hand, which was carved with an auspicious cloud, warm and moist, very beautiful.

The two were silent for a while, Liu Ying continued to fiddle with the jade on several cases, and Sha Ling'er was intoxicated by the sea of jade, and even forgot about the important event of this visit to the prince's palace. Niu Hu'er on the other side was in a hurry, and while Liu Ying was concentrating on fiddling with the jade, she gently tugged at the corner of Sha Ling'er's clothes, Sha Ling'er turned her head to look at her, her eyes glanced at Liu Ying, as if telling her to hurry up and get down to business, that kind of serious and eager look made Sha Ling'er suddenly remember her mission here.

The hand holding the jade pendant froze in the air, lost his mind for a moment, and thought to himself how to talk about it? looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then looked up at Liu Ying, who was carving patterns for beautiful jade, concentrated, her hands were stained by some materials, and she didn't care, Sha Ling'er suddenly had an inexplicable touch, pursed her lips, and couldn't bear to talk about things.
