Ji Ping waited for the birth of the emperor's daughter and hugged her baby daughter again, and said busily: "Your Highness, please come in, the dinner is ready." ”

The empress nodded, and said as she walked: "My carriage also asks the Hou Ye to settle it, and there is also a sandalwood box in the carriage, which is a meeting gift from me to you, and I also ask the Hou Ye to send someone to fetch it." ”

Ji Pinghou was sent to deal with it, Ye Shuo asked curiously, "Where is your honor guard?" "Isn't it a guard of honor to go far away? Like the last time King Yu brought his sister back, there were many people, and there were very beautiful banners, although he was young, he remembered it very clearly.

The Empress Dowager glanced at him, "The guard of honor is resting in the Sifang Pavilion, so many people have come to the mansion, isn't it troublesome."

When Meng Shi heard her say this, his heart relaxed a little, It seems that this imperial lady also knows how to consider others, and she is not the kind of person who is arbitrary.

led the queen lady into the courtyard, the dinner party had been set up, and the two tables for men and women were divided, Yan Yunxi asked strangely: "Why don't you sit together, you have to separate—oh, I see, men and women are not seated at the same table." "Nu Luo Guo didn't pay attention to this, and she didn't separate when she held a banquet in the palace at noon, but she knew the rules of Daqi, but she didn't react for a while.

Ye Qian asked, "Isn't the female Luo country like this?" "Speaking of which, the status of women in the country of Nuluo must be very high, and they may not sit at separate tables at all.

"Da Luo." Yan Yunxi stared at Ye Qian seriously.

"What?" Ye Qian's big apricot eyes blinked twice in confusion.

"Our country is a great country, not a country of women." Yan Yunxi solemnly explained: "Nuluo is the name of the people of Daqi, just like we call Daqi the Northern Qi. ”

Ye Qian understood, the people of Daqi called their country Nuluo, and they called themselves Daluo; It's like they call Great Qi Northern Qi, and this dynasty calls itself Great Qi.

"We don't have separate seats, but we follow the local customs, since Sister Qianqian's family is divided, then it's better to divide the seats." The empress dowager's eyes bent, "As long as Sister Qianqian accompanies her, you can sit anywhere." ”

"Ahem." Ye Li glanced at the Empress Dowager vigilantly, "Our own family has never been seated, since His Royal Highness doesn't mind, it's better to sit together." He beckoned, and the servants began to clean up again and make a large table.

"Let them pack up, let's go, and see what I have for you first." Yan Yunxi saw that the sandalwood box on his carriage was delivered, and beckoned everyone to come over.

She first took two jade pendants, gave them to Ye Xun and Ye Shuo, and gave Ji Pinghou a calligraphy, which was written by a famous calligrapher in Nuluo, and it was also a unique book, and Ji Pinghou liked it very much.

What was given to Ye Li was a short dagger, Ye Li pulled it out carelessly, and a cold air rushed to his face, and his heart jumped, this dagger ...... I'm afraid it's not a mundane thing, right?

Ji Pinghou was also surprised, "This, is this a 'broken intestine'?" "He once gave advice to the household department in the Nuluo country, and he was very clear about the treasury of the Nuluo country, and even the queen's private treasury knew a little bit about it.

The Empress nodded, "This is indeed a broken bowel. ”

"Broken intestines?!" Ye Shuo exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Do you mean that a knife can cut off a person's intestines?" After he finished speaking, his little shoulders shook and he shivered.

"No, it's not." Yan Yunxi laughed, "It means that this dagger is very sharp, as long as it is stabbed, it will definitely kill the other party, and his lover will inevitably have his liver and intestines broken, hence the name broken intestines." ”

Ye Li is a person who practices martial arts, and he has a natural fascination with weapons, so he pulled out a hair at the moment, put it on the blade, and blew it gently, and the hair was immediately broken.

Ji Ping Hou praised: "I have long heard that the Broken Intestine Sword blows hair and breaks hair, and sharpens iron like clay, and today I see that it is worthy of its name, and it is worthy of being a national treasure of Daluo." "It's just that this national treasure is not suitable for my son.

As soon as Ye Li heard that it was a national treasure of Daluo, he immediately inserted the dagger and handed it to Yan Yunxi, "This thing is too valuable, I don't dare to accept it." ”

Yan Yunxi's brows furrowed, and he said distressedly: "The sword is given to the hero, and the gem is given to the beauty, I think that the son of the world is the martial champion, so I sent the bowel-breaking sword." She turned around and rummaged through the box, and there was only jewelry inside.

Before she came, she didn't know that there were Ye Xun and Ye Shuo in the Hou Mansion, so she only prepared gifts suitable for men for Ji Pinghou and Ye Li, worried that they wouldn't like them, and also prepared two jade pendants, but she didn't expect to give them to Ye Xun and Ye Shuo. Yan Yunxi looked at Ye Li in embarrassment, "You can't give Shizi jewelry, but give Qianqian's sister the Broken Intestine Sword, right?" ”

Ye Li looked at the brilliant step in her hand, and silently put the dagger in his sleeve, "Thank you, Your Highness, I like this dagger very much." ”

Yan Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and gave the step shake in his hand to Meng Shi, "I hope Madame can like it." "It's okay if you don't like it, she still has a lot of jewelry in her box, which can be changed casually.

Meng Shi took it, "Your Highness is so polite, I like it very much." ”

Yan Yunxi rummaged through the box, looked at Ye Qian and sighed, "What should I do, I don't think any piece of jewelry is worthy of such a lovely sister Qianqian, otherwise, I'll give Sister Qianqian a 'hug from the princess', right?" ”

"Don't, don't." Ye Qian waved her hand again and again, and took a small step back cautiously, "I like jewelry, really, I like any jewelry." "The princess's embrace was too warm, she couldn't bear it.

Yan Yunxi glanced at her suspiciously, obviously she didn't wear a few pieces of jewelry, and she didn't say that she liked jewelry, she turned around and picked out, and picked out a green hairpin, "I don't know if Sister Qianqian likes it?" Forget it," she put the hairpin back into the box and pushed the box in front of Ye Qian, "It's all for Sister Qianqian, if you really like it, wear it, and reward people if you don't like it." ”

Ye Qian glanced into the box, red gold, pearls, jade, tourmaline...... Most of the boxes of jewelry are worth a lot of money. Ye Qian picked out the turquoise hairpin just now from it, and said with a smile: "Your Highness's vision is very good, I like this hairpin, so I want this." She pushed the box back in front of Yan Yunxi, and the box was really heavy.

I just said that I like jewelry, I like all kinds of jewelry, and now I only picked one, which is really not a greedy little sister at all. Yan Yunxi glanced at Ye Qian appreciatively and waved his hand, "Then the gift is finished, let's go to dinner, I'm really a little hungry." ”

The family and Yan Yunxi sat around a table, Ye Qian found that the queen daughter was very fast when eating, but she was not rude at all, but very elegant, and her meal volume was larger than herself, and she used two bowls of rice in a row.

Yan Yunxi is also quietly observing others, Ji Pinghou picks vegetables for Meng's from time to time, but Meng's eyes are staring at his youngest son, Ye Li also picks vegetables for Qianqian's sister, and her sister also pays attention to her two younger brothers from time to time.

It's such an interesting family, fortunately it didn't have two tables to eat, otherwise it wouldn't have been seen. Yan Yunxi is the only daughter of the empress, although the empress has three husbands and servants, but only Yan Yunxi has a daughter, she has no brothers and sisters, but she has a cousin, but the two meet and quarrel mostly, like this kind of warm family meal, she is quite curious. This time I came to Daqi, there is a reason I also want to see, Ye Chengyuan, who would rather die than be the wife of the emperor, what makes him so concerned, you know, the mother emperor was willing to let him be the imperial husband of ten thousand people under one person, he still refused, and finally ran away, obviously there is something here, which is more important than being the imperial husband, which is also the reason why she has to live in Jiping Houfu.

After dinner, the family left and went to Siyuan Hall.

Ye Li pulled out the dagger, looked at the blade carefully, thought about it, and took out another short dagger from his boots, and the blades of the two daggers were facing each other and touched lightly.

Ye Shuo often slept with his two elder brothers, and he had long known that he had a dagger hidden in his boots, but Ye Li had told him not to touch it, and at this time, seeing Ye Li holding one in one hand, he shouted excitedly: "Brother is going to fight?" I'll help my brother get one! ”

Ye Li glanced at him, these two daggers were extremely sharp, and he didn't dare to let his younger brother touch them.

Ye Chengyuan took the Broken Intestine Sword from his hand, gestured, and gave Ye Li a look, the two of them waved their arms, and the two short daggers touched together with a "ding", only to see that the dagger in Ye Li's hand was cut off at once.

Ye Li was dumbfounded, you know, his father is a literati, he is a martial champion, he didn't get the ranking in wrestling and weight-bearing back then, he was deeply ashamed, and he also specially practiced arm strength, he never thought that the dagger in his hand would be cut off by his father, if the two of them fought to the death, this blow would be fatal.

Ye Chengyuan handed the broken intestine to Ye Li and sighed: "Daluo National Treasure is worthy of its name. ”

Ye Li couldn't put it down, looked at it a few times, took a handkerchief, wiped it carefully, and put it away.

Meng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "This princess is okay, she is not the kind of rude and willful, let's just be careful, and we will be fine when we send her away." ”

Ye Chengyuan frowned, "I just don't know how long she will stay, she ...... Maybe it was sneaked out. ”

"Huh?" Ye Qian raised her head in surprise, "Sneak away?" Daddy means to say, the empress doesn't know? ”

Ye Chengyuan thought for a while, "She came with a thousand-person honor guard, I guess it may be that after she ran away, the empress was not at ease, and knew that she was stubborn and would not go back easily, so she sent a thousand honor guards to catch up with the escort." ”

"Why did Uncle say she ran away?" Ye Xun didn't figure it out.

Ye Chengyuan said: "She is the empress dowager, and the only child of the empress, the prince of the country, she usually can't even leave the capital, and she runs to other countries, if something happens, it will shake the foundation of the country." Not only her, but the princes of all dynasties and dynasties have to be closely protected, how can they run so far? ”

Why did the prince of the country sneak away? And all the people wondered in their hearts.

Ye Chengyuan looked at Ye Li, "You came back just in time, you have to check the guards at home again, there must be no omissions." Now is a very moment, in case there is someone with ulterior motives, killing the crown princess at this time, it can not only make the Nuluo country chaotic, but also provoke a fight between the two countries, and at that time, this black cauldron will fall on the back of our Hou Mansion. ”

Ye Li's expression was solemn, "Yes, my son understands." "The guards and patrols at home are all arranged by him, and if he re-checks again, he must not let people take advantage of them.
