Hearing this, Red Sleeves and Alan nodded cautiously, and said in unison: "What the princess said is that the slave and maid remember." ”

After breakfast, Zixuan slept again, and then got up to prepare lunch with Alain, "Let's make something different today." ”

Alain knew that the princess had always had a lot of ideas, and he looked forward to it.

Zixuan first pickled the processed little rooster with spices, then picked a few lotus leaves in the pool in the back garden, dug up half a bucket of yellow clay, and after half an hour, wrapped the pickled little rooster with lotus leaves layer by layer, and then covered it with soil and put it into the charcoal fire to roast.

Alan said with novelty: "This practice, the slave maid saw it for the first time, and the princess is so powerful." ”

Zixuan smiled: "It's not something I came up with, the legend is that a man named Huazi who was hungry for several days in the Qing Dynasty came up with it." ”

Alan didn't understand, "Where is the Qing Dynasty, the slave has never heard of it." ”

Zixuan was slightly stunned, made sense, prevaricated in the past, and couldn't help but think of her grandparents who worked hard to raise her, and I don't know how they are doing in modern times.

She sighed sadly, and after explaining to Alain, she sat in the courtyard boredly, occasionally picked up a bow and arrow, and played weakly.

When the prince came back, he saw that she was quite depressed, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you so weak." ”

Zixuan turned around, "Ah, you're back, is there anything going on in the court?" ”

The prince nodded, stroked the hair on the back of her head, and said, "In the past few days, I have seen that you have been quite slack, but what is on your mind?" ”

Zixuan nodded, and shook her head again, if you told him those things in modern times, he would probably think he was crazy.

She picked up something that she could say and said: "It's not a big deal, I just feel that my archery skills, in front of the masters with profound cultivation, are not harmful at all, and the power and speed of the arrows are far from enough." ”

Hearing this, Wang Zixian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to order a small strong crossbow for you, just pull the mechanism, you can launch it, within five hundred meters, no matter how deep he cultivates, it is difficult to completely avoid it." ”

Zixuan's eyes lit up at this time, "But really? ”

"Really, but your archery skills still need to be practiced diligently and need to be improved." The prince dedicated.

Zixuan patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely practice hard." ”

Seeing her so sassy little appearance, the prince couldn't help laughing a few times, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "If your husband is hungry, will your wife be rewarded?" ”

Zixuan said with a smile: "There is roast chicken simmered in the charcoal fire, this should be fragrant, I'll take a look." ”

"I'll go with you." Wang Zixian grew up in a dire environment since he was a child, and he was never picky about food, but since he moved to live in Zixuan's courtyard, he has re-aroused his taste buds and slowly began to look forward to daily meals.

Alan and a few cooks were busy in the kitchen, and when they saw them both coming in, they exclaimed, "Lord, princess." ”

Zixuan said: "Everyone is busy with their own work, don't worry about us." ”

After that, she picked up the iron tongs and pulled out the coals, got the dry and cracked mud out, blew off the ash on it, peeled off the mud layer, and the fragrance of lotus leaves came to her nose, and the chicken under the lotus leaves was burnt yellow and tender, and the fragrance diffused in the air.

Alain sighed, "Wow, it smells so good." ”

Wang Zixian also moved his index finger and boasted: "The princess's cooking skills are really good. ”

Zixuan smiled playfully: "Lord Wang, please go back to the house and take a seat, ready to eat." ”

Look at her quirky appearance, and make a room of people laugh.

After the meal, Wang Zixian told Zixuan, "The emperor has ordered that he will leave for the palace tomorrow." ”

Hearing this, Zixuan was not surprised, it was the autumn festival in two days, and it was time to go to the palace.

"Uncle and eldest brother, will they go?" She asked.

The prince said: "The general has to stay in Kyoto, but Brother Ziling, under the subordinates of the Marquis of Dingbei, will go to the palace with him." ”

Zixuan nodded thoughtfully, got up and said, "Then I'll go pack my bags and set off directly tomorrow." ”

"There's no hurry." The prince pulled her to sit down again, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally asked, "Have you ever met Jin Rixuan when you were in Fuyin Mountain?" ”

"Tsk!" Zixuan patted her head and said busily: "Look at my memory, I was going to tell you when I came back last night, but I fell asleep drunk." ”

She leaned into his ear and whispered: "I saved a Hun on Fuyin Mountain, but I didn't think about it at the time, I thought he was an ordinary person, who knew that he was the prince of the Huns!" ”

The prince nodded, no wonder the thief kept staring at Zixuan!

He asked for some more details, Zixuan told him, and found out the mutton fat jade pendant that Jin Rixuan gave her.

Wang Zixian looked at the jade pendant, and his face sank a little.

Zixuan said: "If you are not happy, I will find a chance to return it to him." ”

The prince shook his head, "That Hun has an impure purpose, try not to come into contact with it." ”

He doesn't like to talk much, but for Jin Rixuan, he would rather say two more words, calling him "that Hun man" rather than calling him by his name or the name of the king.

Zixuan thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll find a place to bury it, and throwing this thing out will cause trouble." ”

The prince said: "Let's take a look first, that Hun man, I'm afraid he will recognize you." ”

Zixuan was very worried, she was surrounded by Wang Ye, full of eyeliner, and she couldn't have any contact with Jin Rixuan.

Seeing that she was uneasy, the prince said, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, this king will protect you thoroughly, if you really force Liangshan......"

Zixuan hurriedly covered his mouth, and said in shock: "No, don't worry, if you go to the palace, I will call me sick, if you don't go out of the gate, if you don't step through the second door, others won't be able to catch the handle." ”

Wang Zixian nodded silently, held her hand covering his lips, rubbed the cocoon in her palm that was born from the practice of arrows, and said: "There is an excellent hot spring in the palace, no one knows, you will inevitably be depressed when you are bored in the room all day, and when you are free at night or during the day, I will take you there, okay?" ”

His gentle words warmed people's hearts like spring breeze and rain, and Zixuan smiled like honey between his eyebrows, and said, "It's good that the prince decides." ”

The prince took her into his arms, and his heart was like dew.

In the afternoon, as soon as Zixuan, Red Sleeves, and Alan packed their bags, they saw Qingsha walking in with a maid.

"Cherning?" Zixuan looked at the disguised county lord in front of her in disbelief, was stunned for a moment, and reflexively said, "Is something wrong?" ”

Xue Ning sat down beside Zixuan, but only bowed her head and did not speak.

Zixuan glanced at Qingsha and motioned for them to go down first.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Xue Ning said with a sad face: "At last night's banquet, no one was shocked by my face, but... The Hun prince looked at me from time to time, and I was worried that they just needed me as an identity to get along, and they didn't care what I looked like. ”

Zixuan understood what she meant, "If that's the case, then our plan yesterday was in vain." ”

Xue Ning pulled her hand and said, "Zixuan, I still want to ask you to help me refine the kind of medicine that can poison people, but I can't find out the reason, they just need my identity, if I really marry, it must be... It's better to live than to die. ”

Zixuan's heart was extremely heavy, and she said slowly: "This is the worst plan, you let me think about it." ”

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside and whispered, "County Lord, it's time to go." ”

Xue Ning immediately stood up and said, "I sneaked out this time, I can't stay too long, Zixuan, only you can help me!" ”

Zixuan also got up and said, "Well, let's go." ”

"Okay." Xue Ning lowered her head and walked out quickly.

Seeing her leave, Zixuan was extremely worried in her heart, whether this medicine was matched or not was a dilemma.

When Wang Zixian came from the study, he saw that she had something on her mind, so he said, "Are you still worried about Xue Ning's affairs?" ”

Zixuan nodded and said, "She still wants me to dispense that medicine just in case." ”

The prince said: "Let's take it slowly, the Huns have always provoked disputes intentionally or unintentionally when they enter Beijing, and they are not in harmony." ”

Zixuan exhaled heavily, trying her best to settle down.

The next day, a huge procession traveled from Kyoto to the Imperial Palace.

After Zixuan got into the carriage from the palace, she never got down, and it was already evening when she arrived at the palace.

The courtiers who came to arrange in advance greeted Emperor Jia outside the palace.

The men had to stay with the holy chariot, and the women went to their respective residences under the guidance of the palace people.

As soon as Zixuan and Red Sleeves arrived at the residence, someone from the palace came to spread the word, saying that the dinner party would start in half an hour, and she was invited to go.

Zixuan sighed heavily, today is the first day of going to the palace, if you can't say that you can't go because of illness, how can you say that it's a little unreasonable, I just hope that Jin Rixuan won't cause trouble.

After a freshening up, it is a tense dress-up.

At the dinner, as soon as Zixuan walked into the hall, she heard many people congratulating the prince.

Xue Ning, who was still sitting next to her, whispered to her a lot, "Zixuan, why did you come, look at the other side, the concubine is pregnant and didn't come, and she is sitting there with a side concubine, and she is not afraid to show up." ”

Zixuan knew that what she was talking about was Li Xinran, and said calmly: "Anyway, it won't stop us, don't worry." ”

"That's right, but if you look at King Huai'an, you don't even look at her, you can imagine how beautiful she is now, and how many endless troubles there will be in the future, let's wait and see." Xue Ning analyzed.

Zixuan glanced at the direction of King Huai'an, he was the father of the crown prince and concubine, and he was the largest vassal king in the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor had to respect three points, so he naturally didn't have to give face to the side room who robbed his daughter of grace.

"Did King Huai'an just arrive today?" She asked.

"Hmm." Xue Ning said: "The crown princess is pregnant now, and King Huai'an finally doesn't have to look at the faces of the queen and the prince. ”

Zixuan couldn't help sighing, even if she was as strong as King Huai'an, when she encountered the problem of her daughter being married for a long time and not getting pregnant, she could only bend down and compensate the man.

Thinking so, she inadvertently raised her head, but unexpectedly collided with Jin Rixuan's gaze, and the other party's eyes that seemed to see the old man made her even more uneasy.

Zixuan looked away calmly, her heart was like a drum, and she was extremely worried that he would recognize her.
