The snow in Kyoto stopped falling again and again, not as free and easy as the snow in the capital in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and not as troubled by rain and snow as in Shanzhou, but as lingering as the chūn rain in the south of the Yangtze River, Fan Xian reached out with some annoyance to brush the snow particles from his hair, looked at the eldest prince at the gate of the palace and said, "Have a meal, why are you so nervous?"

In fact, the eldest prince is not wrong, if the payment on the post does not have the name of the princess of Northern Qi, Fan Xian said that he will not slip away in advance, even if he will not come, it is not certain.

Fan Xian thought a little bitterly: Why did you royal brothers gather and call me, a disciple of the Fan family who has returned to the sect? He really didn't want to come, first, he didn't want to see the two princes under the unclear situation, and second, he was thinking about those dangerous things, if the prince, who was the object of his own yīn, continued to talk to him gently, what should he do?

Without him having a chance to speak, his wife was already standing in front of the eldest prince with a smile, grinning and saying a few words, and then the two walked side by side to the prince's palace.

Fan Xian looked at this scene of brother and sister affection, thinking that this brother was not a cousin, and his heart was sour, where was the possibility of not entering the mansion?

and the Prince's Mansion, Fan Xian has not been here much, as soon as he followed up the Mansion, naturally someone waited to sit down, Fan Xian looked around, did not see the people next to him, and put his heart down.

Over there, Xiang Wan'er was talking about something hotly about the eldest brother who hadn't seen her for a long time, Fan Xian was sitting alone in the hall bored, and he didn't bother to interject, half-closed his eyes to recuperate, but the words beside him were always drilling into his ears, for a while, Wan'er was laughing at the appearance of the eldest prince after marriage, and at the same time, the eldest prince was asking Wan'er if she was still used to living in Jiangnan, whether Fan Xian bullied him, and how was the scenery in Jiangnan?

After Wan'er explained clearly to the eldest prince that the Hangzhou Society had nothing to do with the Yamen, Fan Xian couldn't help but yawn, feeling bored in his heart, thinking that this pair of brothers and sisters were also important figures in the royal family, and one of them was still a general who had led the army to kill people, how could they talk about the world, similar to the three aunts and six daughters-in-law of the Teng family?

He was smiling to himself when he suddenly felt a breeze blowing behind him. He opened his eyes and looked back, only to see a beautiful young woman in a gorgeous costume opening the curtain and entering.

Fan Xian was slightly stunned, stared at the beaded flower on the woman's temples, laughed, and said, "I've seen the princess." ”

The person who came was the princess of Northern Qi, and now the princess and princess, this foreign nobleman married into Nanqing back then, Fan Xian was the envoy of the road, and the two walked all the way, and naturally they were a little more familiar than others.

It's just that since the eldest prince married her, Fan Xian and her are naturally inconvenient to keep in touch, even some of the promises made by each other secretly have basically no room for practice, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, but they feel a little strange, and after the first meeting, Fan Xian doesn't know what to say again.

When Lin Wan'er saw the princess coming out, she quickly stood up and saluted, but the princess forced her to call her sister-in-law according to the folk rules.

The princess looks dignified, especially the eyebrows and the corners of her eyes reveal an atmosphere, which makes people look amiable and gratifying, but at this time, the pair of quiet eyes stared at Fan Xian again, revealing a hint of strangeness: "I don't see the little grandfather, I don't know how the little grandfather is lately?"

Fan Xian faced opposite her, and had already seen the trace of fierceness and anger in the softness of the woman's eyes, plus two sentences in a row The little grandfather bombarded over, of course, he knew that the other party was angry, but he knew that the princess's grievances had nothing to do with men and women, and he didn't really complain that he would rarely meet and communicate after sending his relatives back to China, but he was afraid that it was still the matter of Sheep Onion Lane...... It's sent!

He subconsciously glanced at the eldest prince's face, and found that the guy could still be calm, so he had to hide his embarrassment and smile: "What did the eldest princess say...... It's better to call me Fan Xian as you go, or ...... Call brother-in-law?"

Although this joke is not funny, Fan Xian is very particular about the title between words, he still respectfully calls the other party a princess, which is the old rì title, one makes the other party think about the old love of being rì, and the other he knows that the princess will definitely be much more upset when she hears this title.

Although the eldest princess of Northern Qi married the prince of Nanqing, she did not humiliate her identity very much, but after all, she was married to a foreign country, and the background of the marriage at that time was that the war between the two countries ended with the victory of Nanqing, so this marriage was a little disgraceful for the people of Northern Qi, especially the eldest princess herself.

What's more, the eldest prince is crowned Prince He, and the kiss and kiss, what does it mean? Whenever he thinks of the title of the eldest prince, Fan Xian can't help but want to laugh, thinking that the emperor Lao Tzu is really a very sour and grudgeful guy, and the eldest princess is only afraid of hating the name of the princess and the princess.

Sure enough, the princess was stunned when she heard the words of the eldest princess, she had lived in Nanqing for nearly two years, married a good man, and lived a good life, but ...... After all, she is in a foreign land, although she strictly forbids people in the house to call herself by her full name, but maybe no one has called her a princess for a long time.

The princess's eyes softened suddenly, and she looked at Fan Xian and smiled slightly, temporarily giving up the idea of making trouble with him.

Lin Wan'er and the eldest prince are both smart people, of course, when they heard the previous two sentences, Fan Xian and the princess had carried out some kind of temptation, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help but shake their heads, feeling that these two were really tired.

The four of them sat down and gossiped for a few words, Fan Xian couldn't help but turn his head to look at the direction of the gate, shook his head and said, "I said that I came early today, and Wan'er had to urge me." ”

"Everyone is ready, just waiting for you. The eldest prince glanced at him and said, "You new grandfather has a big face, let the two princes wait for you." ”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be here today. The eldest prince explained, and said that Cheng Qian had already sent a heavy gift, and the second prince, the second princess and the Hongcheng brothers and sisters had already sat in the back garden at this time.

The prince's absence from coming made Fan Xian's heart feel a lot easier, he also knew that this was a normal thing, the prince's identity was different, he was the prince of the country, although the position in the past two years seemed to be a little shaken, but the rank was still higher than the princes, the royal family gathering, please definitely invite him, but it is not convenient for him to come.

Wan'er was surprised and said, "Second brother, they have all arrived, so why are we still sitting here?"

This is not a stupid thing to ask, but a deliberate attempt to weaken the adverse impact on the atmosphere in the hall caused by the eldest prince when he said that. The eldest prince listened to Wan'er and said with a smile: "Let's go over now." ”

Then he glanced at Fan Xian.

Fan Xian smiled bitterly, thinking that he had come here, are you still afraid that I will make a big fuss in the palace and beat His Royal Highness Second? While thinking, he got up and walked to the back garden with Wan'er.

The eldest prince and his wife shook their heads at the same time, thinking that Fan Xian really didn't have the consciousness of being a guest, and they also followed to the back garden, but when they came out of the hall, the princess thought of Fan Xian's private affair with her own prince, and couldn't help frowning, and the eldest prince on the side sighed, and his heart trembled.

............ This palace is the year before last when it was ordered to build, mainly for the marriage of the two countries, in order to reflect the face of Qingguo, the palace is not economical, specialized in luxury, covers an extremely vast area, a group of people went to the garden for a long time, only to look at a flower hall near the lake from a distance, the sound of speaking faintly came from inside.

The lake is not big, the weather is slightly better today than yesterday, the thin ice flakes on the surface of the water are broken, but there is no way to swing away, with the lake water together, against the faint gray light in the stratus clouds in the sky, it looks like countless jewels.

And the flower hall is also particularly jīng ingenious, the black wood panes on three sides of the lake are very well sealed, and there are hanging cotton curtains to block the wind, and the position of about half a person high in the middle is opened, and a thin and narrow opening is opened, which is inlaid with the fine glass produced in the inner library.

In this way, the cold wind on the lake can not disturb the interest of the young nobles, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in winter through the window, which is quite thoughtful.

Fan Xian looked at it and laughed: "I like this place. ”

"If you like it, you will come more often, and you are not an outsider. The eldest prince looked at the front with his eyes, not knowing if the word outsider had a deeper meaning, and said: "This mansion was originally more magnificent, but I didn't like it, but fortunately, the princess had ingenuity and changed a lot, and it was no longer what it was at the beginning, if you really like it, you have to go and worship her." ”

Fan Xian glanced back at the princess, smiled and didn't say anything.

The eldest prince said with a little pride: "Others say that I am afraid of the inside, no matter what, anyway, whatever she likes, I will always get it for her, so I said that this circle of glass along the flower hall cost me a lot of silver......"

The princess liked it when she heard this, and she couldn't hold her face in front of Fan Xian and his wife, so she quietly glanced at him.

The eldest prince smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of this glass, it's really expensive, speaking of which, you are now also the big boss of the inner library, and if you want to change the glass in the future, you have to sell me cheaper." ”

Fan Xian begged for mercy: "I said Your Highness, you can spare me, a dignified general king, you still put this little glass in your eyes? ”

The eldest prince didn't like it, shook his head and said: "The inner treasury is important, you have to spend the money you earn for the court on the side of the river, but you don't dare to eat benefits here." ”

Fan Xian knew that His Royal Highness was such a loyal figure, and he was not surprised, and said with a smile: "It's just that you use glass to please the eldest princess, I'm afraid that it will cost a lot of money in the future." ”

The eldest prince said: "How do you say?

The princess covered her mouth and smiled and did not speak.

Fan Xian sneered and said, "The eldest princess grew up in the Northern Qi Palace since she was a child...... Have you ever been to the palace, the top of the main hall is full of glass, the sky light can penetrate in, reflecting the bluestone jade platform and the clear water and white fish next to the platform. ”

The eldest prince was taken aback and sighed: "In the past, I only heard about it, and I thought that it could not be so exaggerated, and the princess had never talked to me...... Could it be true?" he sighed, and other thoughts came to his heart, secretly thinking that the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty was so luxurious, no wonder the national strength was weakened and vulnerable, but it was not convenient to say this in front of his wife, so he had to swallow it raw.

Fan Xian said that sentence before, and he also fell into the memories of his trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty, he was very willing to appreciate the magnificent or beautiful things, so his impression of Shangjing has always been excellent...... Of course, the girl in the city was not bad, and the corners of her lips began to smile strangely.

At this time, the princess also began to miss the scenery of her homeland.

Lin Wan'er looked at the smile on the corner of Fan Xian's lips, couldn't help pursing her lips and snorted.

In this way, each thought into the flower hall, and the three men and one woman in the hall had already greeted them, and it was the two brothers and sisters of the second prince and Hongcheng.

The lord of Roujia County affectionately shouted Sister Wan'er, Wan'er affectionately called out the second brother, Hongcheng affectionately shouted An Zhi, and several people chatted about the lake view and the tribute fruit sent from the south, chatting very calmly, as if those things had not happened in Kyoto in the past few years, just like Fan Xian and the second prince were really close to the two brothers who could no longer kiss.

This is an innate ability of the children of the royal family, right?

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, listening to everyone's words, he knew what the real intention of the eldest prince was to set up a banquet today, and he was also worried that Hongcheng would step on the second prince's ship again...... It's just that although he is also good at talking like this disguise, he is still not as comfortable as everyone who has lived in the royal family since childhood.

He said goodbye and ran away.

............ In the corner of a small courtyard not far from the flower hall, Fan Xianmian, who was brought here by the servant, was startled, and looked at the girl's house that came out of it, the girl's house whose eyes were as bright as jade and there was no trace of impurities.

Fan Xian waved his hand to let the servant leave, looked at Ye Ling'er, whose face was full of astonishment, and her hand was still on the waist of her skirt, and said with amusement and anger: "Girl's family, I don't pay attention to my appearance, I don't know if I will come out after tidying up in the middle?" ”

Ye Ling'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "I'm like this, master......"

As soon as the words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same time and fell into silence, they only remembered at this time that they hadn't seen each other for a year, Ye Ling'er had already married, and she was a princess, no longer the unruly little girl who pestered Fan Xian to fight, and Fan Xian ...... Can it still be her master?
