Xiao Ying'er leaned against the wall, tiptoeing to look into the distance. Usually she likes to look at the lively scene in Liyungang, and her heart is itching. And at the moment, she was attracted by the crowd in the other direction. Before this team entered Benhai City, they raised a high banner and lined up in front of the entire team, announcing their identities to the Xiao family and the entire Benhai City.

It was a cyan banner embroidered with a huge gray-white bear's head, and a sword was diagonally sunk into the bear's head, piercing through the other end, oozing blood staining the white hair of the bear's head. Looking at this somewhat brutal pattern, several maids around Xiao Ying'er secretly smacked their tongues, a little unbearable, and whispered. Xiao Ying'er is quite interested in this flag, a sword pierces the bear's head, which is a symbol of courage and might, and with this as a banner, this family must also have a great background. She rolled her eyes and thought for a moment.

She climbed down the wall and asked the maid Xiaoxi beside her: "Which family's banner is this?" Xiaoxi smiled and shook her head: "Miss doesn't know, where did Xiaoxi know about a maid?"

Xiao Ying'er pouted and said, "I'll ask the eldest brother later." ”

"The prince is okay, if he lets his wife know, he will definitely blame the young lady for not doing his homework well. Xiaoxi covered her mouth and chuckled.

Mr. did explain to Xiao Ying'er the family history and family emblems and banners of the various princes and forces in the eleven states of Longyuan, but Xiao Ying'er didn't listen to it at that time. As if she had seen her mother's slightly reproachful expression, she stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Then forget it!"

Xiaoxi smiled again and said: "But I heard the grandmother of Mianhaitang say that she heard the prince and his wife mention ......" said Xiao Ying'er and winked slightly, deliberately hanging her appetite, causing Xiao Ying'er to hold her arm and ask her to elaborate.

Xiaoxi couldn't stand Xiao Ying'er coquettishly on the side, and said with a smile: "Okay, in fact, I don't know which grandfather this is, I just heard grandma gossip about it, this distinguished guest, surnamed Liu." ”

Xiao Yizhan stood at the gate of the Chengji Palace, looking at the bear-headed banner that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and Li Xianru stood beside him, but the expressions of the two of them didn't look very light.

Benhai City has never had any contact with Shuozhou, and Benhai City's understanding of the Liu family is also very limited, only knowing that although the Liu family is not a prince canonized by the royal family, it has a great influence in Shuozhou and should not be underestimated. Now that the Liu family has come to Benhai City like this, although they have not revealed hostility, their intentions are unknown, which always makes Xiao Yizhan and Li Xianru a little worried.

Soon, the leading horses in the Liu family's team appeared in the field of view first. On the first horse, it was a handsome young man, about eighteen years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, riding on the horse and looking radiant, pulling the reins of the horse and looking around curiously. The other horse was a middle-aged man, forty or fifty years old, looking a little thin, and his eyeballs were slightly sunken in his eye sockets, far less than the young man next to him.

When they got closer, the two stopped at the same time, turned over and dismounted, and bowed down in front of Xiao Yizhan and Li Xianru, and the long team behind them also hurriedly followed them to bow down. Xiao Yizhan and Li Xianru hurriedly helped the leading two up.

The middle-aged man saluted and said, "Liu Guanglei, the steward of the Liu family in the lower north, will meet Mrs. Xiao and the prince." I have heard for a long time that the prince of Chengji Wangfu is a talent, and his wife's temperament is like an orchid, and now when he sees it, he is really extraordinary. Li Xianru nodded and smiled lightly, and Xiao Yizhan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is polite, this son is dignified and graceful." Liu Guanglei introduced the young man next to him: "This is the youngest son of the head of the Liu family, Liu Binyuan." ”

Liu Binyuan also bowed down and saluted in a proper manner: "Liu Binyuan pays a visit to Mrs. Xiao and the prince." He was a little nervous, for fear that these sudden learning etiquette actions would show timidity.

After Xiao Yizhan returned the salute, he quietly looked at his mother's expression, and saw that she had no hint of meaning, so he said: "The two of you have come from afar, you must have been tired of traveling, please settle down in the mansion first, what does the head of the Liu family command, wait for the two of you and your subordinates to rest and then talk." “

Liu Guanglei and Liu Binyuan did not refuse, after greeting and thanking them, they led the team into the house, Xiao Yizhan ordered a few family members to lead them to the guest room, and he stayed at the door to personally greet the guests of the Liu family to enter the door. There were more than 50 people from the Liu family, except for more than a dozen guards behind Liu Guanglei and Liu Binyuan, dozens of people behind them were in groups of two to four, carrying big boxes, and moving to the palace of King Chengji in groups. But looking at the texture of the box, the contents should not be simple.

Li Xianru was not in a hurry to return to the palace, standing outside the door with Xiao Yizhan, looking at the long queue, she pulled Xiao Yizhan back two steps, turned her head and asked Xiao Yizhan with a chuckle: "What do you think these boxes contain?"

Xiao Yizhan said with a smile: "I think there are always blades in the box, if so many boxes are filled with blades, they have to hold four or five knives in one hand to get it all." He noticed that although his mother was smiling on her face, there was not much smile in her eyes, so he asked, "What does Mother think the Liu family wants to do this time?"

Li Xianru said: "Such people are not qualified to be enemies, if they are friends, this way of making friends is a bit unexpected." “

Xiao Yizhan was still thinking about Li Xianru's words, and Li Xianru interrupted his thoughts again: "Let's go in, then Liu Guanglei should answer our doubts soon." ”

Xiao Ying'er watched a group of outsiders approaching the palace with more than a dozen boxes of all sizes, and was very curious, so she leaned up and asked an entourage holding the box: "What is this?"

Although the entourage didn't know Xiao Ying'er, seeing that she was well-dressed and followed by a few maids, naturally her status was not low, so she hurriedly saluted, but she didn't dare to stop and continued to walk forward with her companion.

Xiao Ying'er waved her hand and said, "Don't care about these fictitious things, tell me what's in this box, is there anything interesting?"

"It's really inconvenient for the little one to say, our son is ahead, and if the young lady is interested, you can ask him. The attendant was smiling, and his steps were not slow at all.

Xiao Ying'er frowned: "You are so boring." She lost interest in the contents of the box for a moment, but she remembered something again, and asked, "Hey, your son-in-law, is your surname Liu?" ”

"Exactly. ”

"Where are you from?"

"Shuozhou in the north. ”

Xiao Ying'er turned her head to look at Xiaoxi, as if asking where this Shuozhou was. Xiaoxi just smiled slightly and shook her head. Xiao Ying'er sighed, turned her head again, and asked, "Then what are you doing in Benhai City?"

The man showed a strange look on his face, and then said with a smile: "It's not convenient for this little one to say, our son is in front of ......."

Xiao Ying'er interrupted him, snorted, and led the maids straight away.

She walked along the group, wanting to see what the so-called "our son" was. The front of the line extended all the way to the guest room of the East Garden, and nearly half of the guests had already entered the guest room under the guidance of the family ding. These entourages were all men, and it was inconvenient for Xiao Ying'er to enter, so she had to give up.

"Ying'er!" Xiao Ying'er was walking out when she suddenly heard her eldest brother's voice.

Xiao Yizhan and Li Xianru were about to go to Mianhaitang when they happened to meet Xiao Ying'er who came out of Dongyuan. Xiao Yizhan asked, "What are you doing here?" There are guests in Dongyuan, don't mess around." ”

"I'm not messing around, I just think their flags are interestingly tight, could there be a few bear cubs in their boxes?" Xiao Ying'er tilted her head and smiled.

Xiao Yizhan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Xiao Ying'er's magnificent imagination was very interesting, and laughed unconsciously, although Li Xianru also smiled, she still glared at Xiao Ying'er: "It's all nonsense!"

"I asked one of their attendants, what was in the box, what they were doing, but he didn't say anything, and always told me to ask their son-in-law. Xiao Ying'er said angrily.

"Have you seen their son-in-law?" Xiao Yizhan asked with some surprise.

Xiao Ying'er shook her head: "No, they were already living in Dongyuan when I arrived." You said that this Liu family is really, there are so many people here, and there is not a single woman, and it is inconvenient for me to go in and have a look. ”

"How do you know it's someone from the Liu family?" Xiao Yizhan asked.

Xiao Ying'er looked at Xiaoxi behind her, Xiaoxi lowered her head with a slight red face, Xiao Ying'er turned her head and said with a smile: "I guess! Mother, what are the people of the Liu family doing?"

Li Xianru naturally saw that this matter had something to do with Xiaoxi, but she knew that Xiaoxi and Xiao Ying'er were close, and she didn't care, she just told her daughter: "We don't know much about this, the other party's intentions are unknown, although you don't show hostility, you still don't get too close to them." ”

Xiao Ying'er didn't think so, nor did she refute, she was still hippie and smiling. Xiao Yizhan made an appointment with a few subordinates to discuss, and he didn't stay long, so he went first, while Li Xianru looked a little worried, and told Xiao Ying'er a few words before leaving.
