Today, Xue Su is no longer a village woman who has just arrived in the capital, in the face of everyone's scrutiny, her face does not change color and her heart does not beat, and her lips even evoke a smile, which makes her originally delicate and very beautiful appearance a little more prosperous.

Sensing that there was amazement in the eyes of many men, Chu Qinghe frowned almost imperceptibly, and leaned sideways in front of Su Niang, and the momentum revealed in his expression was extremely intimidating.

Most of the people standing around the couple are Wenchen, at most they can only bend their bows and shoot arrows, no one has ever been on the battlefield, and they have fought with real swords and guns, and at this moment they perceived the danger, and they also realized that their actions were a little rude, so they looked away and took a few steps back.

Xue Su didn't see the situation around him, and was led by the white-faced and beardless palace people, and slowly walked in the direction of the Baohe Palace.

The three major halls commonly known in the forbidden palace are the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Palace, because Goryeo is not a big country, the venue of the banquet is set in the last Baohe Palace.

No one dared to make trouble in the palace banquet, so there was no need to deliberately distinguish between male and female seats, Xue Su and Chu Qinghe were introduced into the hall and sat in front of the desk, she raised her eyes and found that they were all acquaintances, and the five princes and their husbands were in close proximity to the prince. Zhu Bin was full of spirit, which was in stark contrast to the low-key and modest prince next to him.

"Tired?" Patting his little wife's hand, Chu Qinghe asked in a low voice.

"How can you be tired from sitting in a carriage all the way? Hou Ye was too careful. ”

It was inconvenient to change clothes in the palace, Xue Su picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips, only touched it lightly, but did not drink it into his stomach, and then put it back in his place.

Tan Yuanqing was far away, although he couldn't hear the content of the conversation between the husband and wife, he could see their intimate demeanor clearly, the look of concern in Chu Qinghe's eyes didn't seem to be fake, his eyes kept falling on Xue Su, obviously caring about her very much.

The hands hidden under the table were clenched into fists, and the woman had a smile on her face, but her heart was burned with jealousy. Back then, she looked down on Chu Qinghe, a mud-legged man, and thought that he had become a wasted person, and he was useless, but now, this person has firmly sat in the position of the auxiliary marquis, and has also held Xue Su to the sky.

With Chu Qinghe as a comparison, Zhu Bin's indifference to her is obvious, except for the most fertile days, he almost never comes to the main courtyard, but often goes to the room of the beautiful concubine, and does not take her as the concubine in his eyes at all.

The more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, Tan Yuanqing bit his lower lip hard, and heard the sharp voice of the waiter, only then did he come back to his senses, and hurriedly restrained his expression, it seemed that he was still the beautiful princess, and he couldn't find the slightest mistake.

The emperor and queen brought the harem concubines into the Baohe Palace, and I don't know if it is the effect of supplementing the Yuan Dan, the emperor is several times younger before, with a ruddy complexion and radiant complexion, at first glance it looks like more than thirty people, which is better than the queen's maintenance.

Everyone in the hall got up and saluted, and after they sat down, an envoy walked in and expressed their loyalty to Dayu to the emperor.

Although this envoy is a Korean, he speaks Chinese very well, and he can quote scriptures when he opens his mouth, and he still has a capital accent, so he thinks that the time he has lived in Dayu is not short, otherwise he would not have been able to reach this point.

This time to enter the palace for a banquet, Xue Su wanted to see this Goryeo princess the most.

I saw a woman in a wide skirt slowly walking into the hall, although her face was wearing a thin veil, covering most of her beautiful face, but just looking at those clear and charming eyes, and peeking at the leopard, you can conclude that this is a rare beauty.

"The courtier Xue Yan has seen Your Majesty."

The woman's voice was very soft, with a somewhat exotic tone, and although the Chinese language was not comparable to the standard of the envoys, it was extremely beautiful, and attracted the attention of everyone present.

Most men in the world love beauties, and seeing the burning eyes of several princes, the imperial concubine smiled slightly, and said in a fleshy voice, "Princess Xueyan has a delicate face, and it just so happens that the candidate for the concubine of Bin'er has not yet been decided, I don't know what you think?" ”

The emperor did have some interest in Princess Goryeo, but the woman he loved the most was still the imperial concubine, since she had already opened this mouth, the emperor naturally would not refuse, and did not let Xue Yan take off the veil, and commanded loudly, "Give Princess Xue Yan as the side concubine of the fifth prince." ”

Hearing this, the Goryeo envoys thanked him again and again, he stayed in the capital for a long time, knowing that the five princes were extremely favored, although they were not descendants, their status was low, but they were more respected than the prince, Princess Xueyan became the side concubine of this one, and she might not be able to fly on the branches in the future and contribute to the mother country.

Xue Yan looked respectful, retreated from the hall, looked at the slender figure with the sleeves flying, and then looked at the focused eyes of the five princes, Xiao Yingnian picked the corner of the table hard, so he almost didn't break his nails.

In fact, she really wronged Zhu Bin, the reason why the five princes kept staring at the princess of Goryeo was to prevent himself from losing his temper, if he stared at the wife of the auxiliary marquis at the palace banquet for a moment, in the eyes of the courtiers, he would become the villain of the courtier's wife, and he also wanted to ascend the throne and sit in the position above the ten thousand people, so he naturally had to carefully maintain his reputation and refuse to make any mistakes.

After staying in the palace for so long, and still not seeing the true face of Princess Goryeo, Xue Su couldn't help but be disappointed, and his moist apricot eyes dimmed a little.

Chu Qinghe pinched her fingertips without half a callus, and slightly curled her knuckles, scratching the itch.

No one would have imagined that the serious and rigid Fuguo Marquis would be like this, Xue Su glanced at him, snorted lowly, and didn't withdraw his hand, just let it go.

The palace banquet lasted for several hours, and before walking out of the Baohe Palace, a clear voice suddenly came from behind him, "Master Hou, please stay." ”

The couple turned their heads together and saw the handsome and noble fifth prince, Xue Su frowned without a trace, lowered his eyes, and hid his disgust just right, so as not to be discovered.

As soon as Zhu Binfu approached, he smelled the bewildering peach blossom breath, his Adam's apple slid slightly, the corners of his mouth smiled, and asked, "Master Hou, there has been a war at the border recently, I wonder if you are willing to go to the battlefield and serve the country?" ”

Chu Qinghe was willing.

But he knew very well that Zhu Bin was scheming, and he wanted to put him to death several times, but now he was in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"The Holy Lord appointed Cheng Enhou as the commander, presumably he can also lead the sergeants to guard the territory, Chu Moufu is idle at home, if he rushes there, I am afraid that it will shake the heart of the army, so I thank His Highness for his kindness." Chu Qinghe's tone was calm, and there was no desire for power on the surface.

Zhu Bin smiled unabated, his eyes crossed Xue Su's face, and when he saw the woman's slightly bulging lower abdomen, he was shocked, and almost forgot his purpose.

"If the Hou Ye is interested, I can say a few kind words to my father and the emperor, so that his suspicions can be dispelled." The fifth prince stepped forward and lowered his voice a little.

The fifth prince thinks that he knows a little about the Fuguo Marquis, and knows that this general who has climbed up from the bottom also has a bit of backbone, and his head is all about protecting the family and defending the country, and his proposal will definitely bring a huge temptation to Chu Qinghe.

Chu Qinghe arched his hand and said again, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, the minister only obeys the arrangement of the saint, and the time is not early, so I will leave first." ”

With that, the man took the little wife's hand and walked away with the person quickly.

Zhu Bin's face was full of astonishment, he only felt that there was something wrong with his ears, Chu Qinghe was unwilling to go to the border pass, did he want to watch Yumen Pass being broken by the Huns, and the people being trampled by iron hooves?

There was a depressed breath inside, choked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, this feeling was really uncomfortable, which made the handsome faces of the five princes turn into the color of pig liver, which looked extremely weird.

The officials who can come to the palace banquet are not low, one or two are human spirits, and they will not do such self-deprecating and boring things at all, so they have accelerated their pace and disappeared from the sight of the five princes.

When he was far away, Chu Qinghe slowed down, his eyebrows were full of worry, and he couldn't help asking, "I left too much just now, and my stomach is uncomfortable?" It's all my fault, I didn't avoid the five princes in time. ”

Xue Su smiled and shook his head, took the man's hand and pressed it on his lower abdomen, and deliberately said with a straight face, "Your son is very strong, he won't be fine at all, let's get on the horse and go home quickly." ”

Rushing to the direction of the Hou Mansion in a carriage, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a little girl in a skirt, Xue Su squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you going to the store again?" ”

Hearing his aunt's voice, Liansheng's feet seemed to have roots, standing motionless in place, his head eager to be buried in his chest, and his appearance was both angry and funny.

"I just came back from the private house, and my cousin prescribed a prescription, saying that I would buy some medicinal herbs and make a new decoction, so that I could attract more customers."

Yan Hao is Xue Su's cousin, and Liansheng followed his seniority and directly called his cousin.

"You don't want to enter the palace and say it directly, why do you want to cut it first and then play it?" She walked up to Liansheng and tapped her finger at the tip of the little girl's delicate nose.

Liansheng Na Na defended, "I decided not to go until I was close, I have been thinking about it for the past few days, and my aunt is not strange." Glancing at her dark-looking uncle, she added, "Uncle don't blame him." ”

"That's it, I'll spare you this time, if you have any thoughts next time, just tell the truth, can you remember?"

Liansheng nodded like pounding garlic, how can there be no reason?

The couple returned to the room, and after sitting in the carriage for so long, Xue Su couldn't help but be a little tired, she seemed to have no bones, leaning on the soft couch, her apricot eyes were half-open and half-closed, obviously very tired.

Chu Qinghe walked out of the door quietly, and told Qiu Ju to prepare water, and when there was a burst of water behind the screen, she came back to her senses, wrapped her lotus arm around the man's neck like a snake, and hummed in a low voice, "I wonder if the Hou Ye is willing to serve the concubine and bathe?" ”

The man is extremely tall, standing in front of his little wife, from top to bottom, he can just see the slightly open placket, and the delicate collarbone is flushed, as delicate as a petal.

His eyes lit up, he slowly bowed his head, and spat out two words hoarsely, "Yes." ”
