In the blink of an eye, it is the day of the winter solstice festival.

The day before the winter solstice, the emperor wants to go to Qingcheng Zhai Palace to worship his ancestors.

On that day, Zhao Zhen wore a crown of heaven and a silk robe.

Hundreds of officials wear sable scarves and public uniforms of various grades according to their grades, all of which have square heart curved collars.

The emperor and the hundred officials and the five watches gathered in the Daqing Palace, and the zai read the sacrificial book, sounded the horn and beat the drum.

The emperor and the queen mother boarded the Da'an Rim together, hundreds of officials got on the horse, thousands of rides, starting from the Xuande Building, walking the royal street, passing through the Vermilion Bird Gate, passing through the Nanxun Gate, until arriving at the Qingcheng Yujin Garden to stay.

On the second day, we will go from Qingcheng Zhai Palace to Jingling Palace Temple to worship ancestors.

On the road, the people watched the ceremony, and the people of Bianliang poured out of the city, plus the officials and the iron horsemen of the army, and the personnel were tens of thousands, and they were mighty.

At this time, Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Yan, and Zhao Yunxi, the marquis of Boping, were relatives of the emperor, and they also followed behind the ancestor worship team of the official Zhao Zhen.

Ye Pei was curious, and also changed into men's clothes to hide among the people to watch the excitement.

In addition to the emperor, the queen mother and the ministers, there are seven elephants and ten camels, peacocks, horses and other rare animals.

Ye Pei hid in the crowd to watch the elephants, feeling novel and interesting.

As soon as she left the Nanxun Gate, Ye Pei suddenly noticed that the little old man under the Uighur prince who had fought with her that day also appeared in the crowd.

Ye Pei immediately had an ominous premonition, and she secretly followed him. Due to the large number of people, the other party did not find Ye Pei.

I saw the little old man slowly approaching the camel herd, took out a copper camel bell from his arms, and suddenly shook the camel bell at the closest place to the camel caraver, and the camel bell made a metallic screeching sound, which made people tremble and weakly when they heard it, and the penetrating power of that sound, even if you covered your ears, you could still hear it.

Ye Pei's heart sank, the Uighurs lived in the northwest desert and were familiar with camel habits, and the camel bells he took out must be strange.

Sure enough, the caravan began to move and no longer obeyed the camel leader's command.

After a while, the whole camel caravan was in an uproar, and some even broke away from the reins of the camel bearers and rushed to the crowd watching the ceremony.

At this time, the entire ancestor worship procession was in chaos, people shouted and neighed, and the people rushed to escape.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Pei jumped behind the little old man with a "dragon teng step", and stretched out his "eagle claw hand" to catch the camel bell.

The little old man felt that someone was jumping behind him, and a "tanuki flash" turned to face Ye Pei. He was stunned when he saw Ye Pei, and immediately reacted, put away the copper bell, and burrowed into the crowd like a mouse.

The crowd was rioting, it was not easy to move forward, the little old man was short, he walked between people's legs, and disappeared after a while.

Ye Pei looked left and right and couldn't see him, and looked back at the ceremony procession. The camel team collided, scattering the officials and guards, and the horses, elephants and other animals scattered and rushed towards the crowd, crowded and trampled.

The people collided and trampled on hundreds of officials, and the injured and even killed one after another. For a while, shouting, screaming, crying, and scolding were chaotic.

At this time, a frightened horse neighed and rushed towards Da'anlin! The guards had been dispersed by the crowd, and at this time they wanted to break away from the crowd and return to protect the holy car, but they had more than enough strength but not enough strength.

Ye Pei thought to himself: "It's not good, save the sixth brother first!" ”

Ye Pei performed the "Tiger Leaping Dragon", leaped over the crowd, and rode onto the back of the frightened horse, which was not meant to be ridden, and there was no saddle and pedals on its back.

Ye Pei grabbed the long mane on the horse's neck and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, trying to control it. But the horse couldn't stop at all after being frightened, Ye Pei tried to make it turn several times in vain, seeing that the frightened horse was less than a hundred steps away from Da'an, and the infantry guards had already surrounded the chariot to protect it.

Zhao Zhen and the Queen Mother were helped to walk to the edge of Da'an's car, and the maids and eunuchs wanted to help the official family and the Queen Mother to leave first, but Zhao Zhen and the Queen Mother saw that the frightened horse was so close to them, and they were afraid and couldn't move.

In a hurry, Ye Pei pulled out the fish and dragon whip and strangled the horse's neck, the horse had a stubborn personality and refused to obey discipline, and the neck pain ran faster.

100 steps, 50 steps, more than 10 steps, Ye Pei became more and more impatient. She wanted to strangle the beast with more force in her hands, but the horse under her crotch had long legs and strong body, her black fur was as bright as black paint, and her four hooves were as white as climbing clouds and mist.

A strong idea told Ye Pei that it was not an ordinary horse, it was the god horse Fang Xing in the sky, and Ye Pei was really hard to kill the killer.

When he was only a few steps away, Ye Pei was in a hurry, if he couldn't make it stop, he would speed up and rush over. She let go of the fish whip and pumped hard on the horse's buttocks, and the horse neighed, its front hooves went up, and then its four hooves galloped straight towards Da'an.

At this moment, the guards, ministers, and civilians all held their breath and widened their eyes, could it be that this man on horseback was an assassin?

The hearts of the Queen Mother Liu E and the official Zhao Zhen, who were standing on the edge of the car, almost stopped beating, and their limbs were stiff and difficult to move. The palace maids and eunuchs who supported them almost collapsed on the ground.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and at the moment when it was close to Da'an, Ye Pei lifted the horse's neck, and the people and horses were one, and the horse carried Ye Pei to leap up, crossed Da'an, and ran into the distance.

The eldest family let out a sigh of relief, and I don't know how many hearts were "thumping" back to beating at this moment......

After running more than 100 steps, Ye Peicai grabbed the horse and jumped off the horse. Through the efforts of the guards and the people, the frightened other animals were slowly brought back to the team.

Zhao Zhen and Liu E watched this wonderful horse skill, and they were the rest of their lives, and they both sighed.

Empress Dowager Liu E instructed the guards: "Please ask this chivalrous man to come forward." ”

Ye Pei trotted to the official family and the queen mother, and knelt down to give a salute.

Empress Dowager Liu E said: "Thanks to the chivalrous rescue, the chivalrous man is really heroic!" Please raise your head and let me see. ”

As soon as Ye Pei raised his head, Zhao Zhen was shocked when he saw it, what kind of chivalrous warrior was his cousin Ye Pei!

The Empress Dowager Liu E looked at Ye Pei and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a young young man!" I don't know where the Shaoxia Immortal Mountain is? ”

Ye Pei replied loudly: "I am Lou Zijin of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau!" ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Lou Shaoxia. Li Zhe, reward jade Ruyi! "The Empress Dowager Liu E commanded.

Ye Pei replied: "Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." ”

The Empress Dowager Liu E said again: "Lou Shaoxia has such a feat at a young age, and his future is limitless!" I ask you, would you like to be a guard with me? In the future, he will be promoted to become a lieutenant general, and he will also serve the country. ”

Ye Pei was not cowardly, and replied loudly: "The Queen Mother is wrong to love, I am a ranger and reckless person, and I am most afraid of being restrained, and I am afraid of colliding with Long Yan." ”

The Queen Mother Liu E nodded slightly, and she didn't force it.

Zhao Zhen, an official family, said: "Lou Shaoxia has a meritorious service in saving the driver, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and I will give him a handwritten book." Ye Pei kowtowed and thanked him.

Zhao Zhen said again: "The young man works hard, first go to Qingcheng with the ancestor worship team to rest, and return to Bianliang City together after the ceremony tomorrow!" ”

Ye Pei promised.

The emperor and the queen mother climbed again, and the guards behind led a tall horse for Ye Pei to ride, and the ancestor worship team slowly moved forward.

In the evening, the official Zhao Zhen sent Chen Zhongyi to invite Ye Pei to the dormitory.

Seeing Ye Pei, Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "Why did Pei'er come to Qingcheng?" ”

Ye Pei said happily: "Isn't the sixth brother happy to see Pei'er?" I saved you today! ”

Zhao Zhen said in his heart: "Pei'er, how could I not be happy to see you!" ”

But he didn't want Ye Pei to take such a risk again, and to be in the limelight like this, she didn't understand the queen mother's personality, she quoted other people's identities so recklessly, although it was a meritorious rescue, it is difficult to say that she will not be condemned by the queen mother for the crime of bullying the king in the future.

Besides, Zhao Zhen didn't want the Queen Mother to know that she had such a favorite cousin.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "It's really nonsense, are those guards of mine inferior to you?" Your appearance today has caused a lot of criticism! ”

Ye Pei asked puzzledly, "What is the sixth brother worried about?" ”

Looking at Ye Pei's innocent calf who was not afraid of tigers, Zhao Zhen's mood was very complicated, he was worried too much, he was afraid that Ye Pei would be in danger for him, he was afraid that the Queen Mother would break them up after knowing that he liked her, and he was even more afraid that Ye Pei would be used to approach him and test him.

But how could these words be said to Ye Pei?

Zhao Zhen didn't know how to explain, there were many people in the palace, and it was inconvenient for him to explain too much. Then he said earnestly: "Pei'er, you are simple and cute, this place is not for you." You go back to the Eight Kings' Mansion and wait for me, I will always have a way to pick you up. ”

Ye Pei said unhappily: "Sixth brother said that I want to see Pei'er every day, but I haven't seen you go to the palace again for a few months." ”

Zhao Zhen felt that Ye Pei didn't understand him, and felt that he was affectionate, and felt that she was unreasonable and unreasonable, with a displeased look on his face, "I have a lot of things to do, how can I run around like you!" All you have to do is stay in the palace and wait for me to summon you. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhen's words, Ye Pei was obviously unhappy and said: "You don't have to find a reason to lie to me, I don't care where I go, Sixth Brother!" ”

Zhao Zhen was even more angry, "You can do whatever you want!" Chen Zhongyi, send Miss Ye back! ”

Seeing Zhao Zhen's attitude, Ye Pei felt that he was amorous, and said with a sneer: "Since the sixth brother doesn't want to see me, I'll go!" He turned around and left.

Ye Pei thought that she would have a lot to say when she saw Zhao Zhen this time, she didn't ask him to repay her kindness, but she didn't expect him to take revenge, and she was so cold to herself.

Zhao Zhen confessed so explicitly last time, but this time his attitude turned one hundred and eighty degrees, it can be seen that the king can't guess, it turns out that everything is her own wishful thinking, Ye Pei is angry and sad, and leaves without looking back.

"Pei'er! ......" Zhao Zhen looked at Ye Pei's back as he walked away, and let out a long sigh.

He thought to himself: "Pei'er, I hope you can understand my hard work and understand my hard work!" ”

Who would have thought that all this would be seen by a dark shadow outside the dormitory. The black shadow flashed out with a "hehe" smile, it turned out that he also lived in the palace of Yujin Garden, it was none other than Zhao Yunxi, Marquis of Boping!

Although there were some accidents in the ancestor worship ceremony, everything went smoothly after the emperor, Zhao Zhen and the queen mother Liu E, returned to the Bianliang Palace on the second day.

Ye Pei returned with him, and when he arrived in the outer city, he left the team on his own and returned to the Eight Princes' Mansion. Ye Pei sulked for a few days, and he had been staying in the garden building, but he was honest.

A few days later, Zhao Yunxi specially came to the garden to see Ye Pei.

Ye Pei was strange, although the credit for her recognition of her aunt was none other than Zhao Yunxi, but since she moved in, Zhao Yunxi had not seen him alone.

Zhao Yunxi met Ye Pei and said that there was no theme.

"Sister Pei'er has been living in for half a year, right? I was busy with official business, so I didn't have time to come over to take care of it. I'm free today, so let's ask my sister what she lacks? ”

Ye Pei said: "I'm fine, nothing is missing, my aunt is thoughtful and has prepared everything for me." ”

"That's fine. Is my sister still used to living? Cho Yoon-hee asked with concern.

"I'm just a wandering orphan, and it's very comfortable here."

Zhao Yunxi smiled and said, "Look at what my sister said, aren't we all your family!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Yunxi approached Ye Pei and said, "If you want to say that there is delicious and fun in Bianliang City, how can there be a big brother I don't know?" If Pei'er lacks anything and wants to play something, she must tell me and don't see it. ”

As he spoke, he leaned close to Ye Pei's ear and exhaled softly, and whispered: "Pei'er, don't forget, you and I have a marriage contract, don't see each other!" ”

Ye Pei's ears were itchy by his anger, and goosebumps fell to the ground on his back.

Ye Pei was simple, listening to what he said and what he did, his face and neck turned red. She took a step back, twisted, didn't dare to look at Zhao Yunxi, and only nodded slightly.

Zhao Yunxi saw Ye Pei's red face and red ears, "hehe" laughed evilly twice, and went away.

When he arrived outside the hospital, Zhao Yunxi saw Ye Pei's maid Ping'er, nodded her chin and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Ping'er is getting more and more beautiful!" ”

Na Ping'er twisted and said, "Look at what Bo Pinghou said." As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yunxi with peach blossoms in his eyes.

Zhao Yunxi smiled "hehe" and commanded: "Little Nier! If Miss Ye has anything, tell Gao Shan. "That high mountain is the little guy in the outer courtyard, and he is Zhao Yunxi's henchman the most.

Ping'er smiled and nodded.
