The court meeting dispersed, the ministers left from the main hall in twos and threes, Tuoba Hong came out of the main hall alone, no one dared to come forward to say hello to the ministers of Liang State, only Xie Xun nodded to Tuoba Hong, Tuoba Hong also returned the salute, Xie Xun smiled and left, Lu Jianxi stepped forward and said to Tuoba Hong: "His Royal Highness King Jin, our family will lead you out of the palace." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded, ready to follow Lu Jianxi out of the palace, the prince looked at Tuoba Hong's back, thinking about the conversation between Tuoba Hong and Lao Qi in the palace just now, and said to himself with some doubts: "Could it be that they met that day?" ”

The prince thought for a moment, and hurriedly quickened his pace to follow.

Xie Xun walked down the steps, Cui Xiang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Old Xie, bet on both ends, left and right, good means?" ”

Xie Xiang smiled and shot back: "Old man Cui, don't get cheap and sell well, the Xie and Cui families have always been in the same spirit, and they are not afraid of standing and talking without backache." ”

Cui Xiang was said helplessly: "Yes, yes, come to my house for a drink at night, the girl's skills are getting better and better, let your son-in-law accompany you, so you don't get angry." ”

Xie Xiang pretended to sigh: "Raising such a good girl, cheapening your Cui family for nothing, if you want to eat the wine and food made by your daughter, you have to go to your house, my life is too bitter." ”

Cui Xiao laughed for a while, and no one else thought it was strange, everyone knew that these two families were generations of in-laws, and Cui Xiang himself was still Old Man Xie's brother-in-law.

Here, the prince caught up with Tuoba Hong and shouted, "Brother Xian stays." ”

Tuoba Hong turned around and saw that it was the prince, and hurriedly saluted: "Brother prince, I have something to say to the younger brother." ”

The prince said with a smile: "Brother Xian, tomorrow's family banquet, the sister does not attend as usual, but I think that since the two countries are brothers, it is also appropriate for the sister to come out to meet, and I will invite my sister to come out to see the family banquet tomorrow, what does the brother think?" ”

Tuoba Hong was puzzled, and thought to himself: "Why did this prince say this to himself? ”

However, it was inconvenient to say anything, but he also wanted to verify it in his heart, so he replied casually: "Thank you, brother prince, is it so appropriate?" After all, the princess will be the princess of Wei in the future, and she may be the younger brother's imperial sister-in-law, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

The prince smiled: "Brother Xian is too worried, the family, it's not rude." ”

The prince stretched out his hand to guide: "Brother Xian, this king will send you out of the palace." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded and replied, "Then there is Brother Prince Lao." The two walked side by side.

Xiao Siyu walked out of the Zichen Hall and still thought hard, how could that disciple be the king of Wei and Jin that night?

Was this really a chance encounter?

Suddenly, Xiao Siyu exclaimed: "I have to tell the imperial sister to go!" ”

Xiao Siyu pulled his legs and rushed to Jiaxi Palace.

King Ning called him from afar: "Seventh brother, wait for me!" ”

Xiao Siyu didn't hear it at all, and ran away without a trace.

King Ning was still muttering: "What's wrong with Old Seven, it's so strange today!" ”

King Ning shook his head and turned around and walked towards the Empress Fengyi Palace.

"Today's events are so strange, I should talk to the queen mother."

The prince and the king of Jin walked along the side of the royal steps, the two had a conversation without a word, each with something on his mind, the prince remembered that he went back to the palace yesterday to visit his mother, and the queen mother said: "Yonghui's face, rare in the world, into Wei as the crown princess, now the prince of Wei is undecided, Yonghui must lead the kings to fight, your father arranges a family banquet, if you let the king of Wei and Jin see her, if he has love, then just in the Northern Dynasty planted the seeds of civil strife, the Northern Dynasty is in chaos, then King Yong, Yonghui are difficult to ensure safety, the more stable your position as the prince." ”

King Jin followed the prince out of Chaoyang Gate, Li Cunxiao and Luo Kedi came up, King Jin and the prince said goodbye and left, the prince got on the chariot and opened the curtains, looked at the three people who rode away, and said to himself: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

His expression seemed to be regretful, maybe only he knew what he was thinking.

...

Tuoba Hong and the three of them rode on horseback, followed by twenty cavalrymen, Tuoba Hong could not see sadness and joy on his face, Li Cunxiao asked: "Big brother, can something happen when Emperor Liang summons him today?" ”

Tuoba Hong said with a smile: "I have set a time to go back, and I will leave for the north on the 23rd of this month." ”

Luo Kedi smiled and asked, "Big brother, have you determined the identity of the person you met that day?" ”

Tuoba Hong nodded: "That's right, it's indeed her." ”

Li Cunxiao was a little confused: "Big brother, third brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" ”

Tuoba Hong looked back and smiled: "Second brother, the woman in the painting I painted is exactly what we came here for. ”

Li Cunxiao was shocked and said, "Princess Yonghui? It can't be such a coincidence, right? ”

...

Taichen Palace with the palace Hanyuan Hall for the emperor's banquet hall, today is His Majesty's family banquet, Emperor Jing, the queen, the prince, King Ning, King Yong, Ye Luohe, He Yuanlang, Xie Xiang, Cui Xiang to accompany the practice, for Tuoba Hong and his party to do the practice before departure.

The hall does ceremonial music and dance, everyone uses the banquet to enjoy the dance, during the banquet, King Yong looked at Tuoba Hong many times, Tuoba Hong Gu made a safe state. The prince looked at it in his eyes and was slightly suspicious, but it was inconvenient to ask.

Ye Luohe naturally knew that this King of Jin was the person he met by chance during the Shehuo Festival that day, and he already knew that it seemed that this King of Jin had a liking for Princess Yonghui.

Xie Xiang secretly looked at Ye Luohe, Ye Luohe responded with his eyes, the two of them knew in their hearts, but they didn't break it.

King Ning looked at this King of Jin, thinking that the imperial sister and the seventh brother were about to go to the Northern Dynasty, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart.

The emperor was expressionless, quietly watching the song and dance, affectionately relaxed, but no one could figure out what he was thinking.

Everyone at the banquet had their own thoughts and demeanors.

After singing and dancing, Emperor Jing looked at Tuoba Hong and raised his glass and said: "Imperial nephew, you have come from afar, you will have a family banquet today, you don't have to be formal, I invite you to drink together." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jing asked Tuoba Hong again: "Imperial nephew, looking at the singing and dancing of the Southern Dynasty, it can still be in your eyes." ”

Tuoba Hong replied: "Uncle Huang, this Southern Dynasty is stunning and moving, it is by no means comparable to my Northern Dynasty, and there are many orchid songs and dances in the Northern Dynasty, and they can't be in the hall of elegance?" ”

Emperor Jing said with a smile: "These dancing girls are all cultivated by the pear garden of my Chaoshang Palace Bureau, all of them are stunning beauties, if the emperor's nephew has a stunning beauty, I can reward you." ”

Tuoba Hong was terrified: "Uncle Huang, my nephew is just a vulgar martial artist, and it is too wasteful for me to reward this stunning beauty." ”

Emperor Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Heroes and beauties have been a good story since ancient times, but they are just a beauty, and I will give it to you when I am the master." ”

Tuoba Hong stood up and saluted happily: "Nephew, thank you for the gift of Uncle Huang." ”

Emperor Jing laughed: "Okay, so good, drink." ”

Emperor Jing's arrangement made the prince unhappy, the dancing girl who led the dance was the person he fancied, because the East Palace was taken away by the Internal Guard Division of several women, and he was also secretly beaten by his father, so he thought about putting it in the pear garden first, and then took it to the East Palace when he got married, and then took it to the East Palace when he was calm, but now that his father was in charge of giving the beauty to Tuoba Hong, the prince was upset and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of stuffy wine.

The prince's expression made the queen look in his eyes, and his gaze signaled the prince's restraint, and also hinted that he should not forget today's events.

Xiao Siyu was still haunted by the events of that night, and couldn't help but look at Tuoba Hong and pouted: "Sure enough, it's a disciple." ”

The voice reached Emperor Jing's ears, and Emperor Jing frowned: "Yu'er, what did you say?" ”

Xiao Siyu hurriedly replied with a smile: "Father, the son said that the king of Jin is really talented. ”

Emperor Jing said again: "Yu'er, you enter your Jin Emperor's brother's cup, you enter the Wei Kingdom, since you are the righteous son of Emperor Wei, this Jin King is naturally your imperial brother, and you should consult him more in the future." ”

Xiao Jingyu smiled and raised his glass: "It's my father, and I respect the emperor's brother." ”

After saying that, I drank it all.

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Tuoba Hong raised his glass, also drank it all, and the two of them moved, Ye Luohe and Cui Xiang both smiled and nodded.

The queen and the crown prince looked slightly displeased, and the queen's eyes signaled that the prince could make suggestions to His Majesty, and the prince nodded slightly.

The crown prince said to Emperor Jing: "Father, today is a family banquet, and the younger brother of the king of Jin and the royal sister will also be a family in the future. ”

Emperor Jing smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and when the queen saw this, she also said: "Your Majesty, it's good to let Yonghui come out to meet, it's a family banquet, and you won't lose etiquette." ”

Xiao Siyu remembered the scene of the Shehuo Festival that day, and naturally didn't want to let the imperial sister come out to see this disciple, so she wanted to get up and speak, but was secretly stopped by Ye Luohe's gesture on the side.

Emperor Jing asked Tuoba Hong: "Does the emperor's nephew think it's appropriate?" ”

Tuoba Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time my nephew escorted the imperial sister-in-law back to Wei, and it is good to ask the imperial sister-in-law in advance." ”

Emperor Jing nodded and said, "Okay, Lu Shen, you go and invite the princess over." ”

"No!"

Lu Shen nodded and went out

"Singing and dancing, the banquet continues, everyone raise their glasses!"

Emperor Jing motioned for everyone to continue, and the singing and dancing banquet began again, but Tuoba Hong was faintly looking forward to it, and he was actually a little nervous, and his eyes couldn't help but peek out of the door, this expression fell in Emperor Jing's eyes, Emperor Jing smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Princess Yonghui has arrived."

The eunuchs outside the palace passed the news that Princess Yonghui entered the Hanyuan Palace and walked slowly, Tuoba Hong bowed his head slightly and pretended not to look, and Luo Kedi was a little stunned when he saw it, and said to Li Cunxiao, who was sitting at the same seat; "Just now I thought the dancing singer was already stunning, and compared to this princess, she was just a grass chicken."

Li Cunxiao glared at him back: "Hugh has to talk nonsense." ”

Roque's neck shrank in fright.

Princess Yonghui didn't pay too much attention to Tuoba Hong, because the clothes changed, her temperament also changed, and she didn't recognize it for a while, so from the time the princess entered the palace, the two barely had any direct eye contact, and the prince and queen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Princess Yonghui stepped forward to salute Emperor Jing and asked Emperor Jing: "Father, at today's family banquet, the sons have not yet left the cabinet, and it is inconvenient to meet the guests in public, why did you call the sons and daughters over." ”

Emperor Jing pointed at Tuoba Hong and said with a smile: "Hui'er, for his father and Emperor Wei to become brothers, this great Wei and Jin King is naturally my imperial nephew, Yu'er recognized the Emperor of Wei as his father-in-law, and the King of Jin is naturally a brother, so it is his own family, not a foreigner, today since the King of Jin wants to make a suggestion to the imperial sister-in-law in advance, the prince, and the queen, it will be allowed to be a father, Hui'er is a little safe, and sit down first." ”

The eunuch arranged a position next to Xiao Siyu, and Yonghui happily sat down, only then did he look at Tuoba Hong, which was inevitably a little familiar.

Yonghui thought about it carefully, it turned out that the person he met on the Hongqiao that day was actually the King of Jin of Wei, Yonghui was secretly happy in his heart, and he was very worried.

Tuoba Hong smiled and raised his glass to face Yonghui: "Imperial sister-in-law, my brother respects you with a cup, how dare you be disrespectful when you meet in heaven?" ”

There was a faint temptation in Tuoba Hong's words.

Tuoba Hong's words made Yonghui feel a little unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't help but ridicule him a few words: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin calls this palace the imperial sister-in-law? This title is still early, as far as I know, the Wei State has not yet canonized the crown prince, should you call the imperial sister-in-law, or the imperial brother and sister, or you have other thoughts, God knows, you may not be able to respect this cup of wine, and I am afraid that the palace will not be able to drink it. ”

Tuoba Hong didn't expect the princess to answer like this, but the princess replied like this, he had a trace of joy in his heart, Tuoba Hong drank the wine all, and said with a smile: "Then I will drink alone, and when the princess becomes the princess, I will reward this king with a cup, and this king will naturally not be called wrong at that time." ”

Yonghui said unforgivingly: "The King of Jin said that if you want to ask for peace in this palace, this palace is even more deserved, this palace is the eldest princess of Daliang, and His Royal Highness is the king of Jin in Wei State.

Tuoba Hong said with a smile: "That's the king's abruptness, although the identity is the same, but it's always wrong to call the royal sister, the king has prepared a gift, and the imperial sister should still receive it." ”

Tuoba Hong waved his hand, Li Cunxiao hurriedly sent a gift box, Yonghui planned to open it on the spot, Tuoba Hong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "How about inviting the imperial sister back to the palace to see?" ”

Yonghui handed the gift box to Su Qing, who was accompanying him, and then gave himself a glass of wine, raised his glass to drink, and then said: "This palace does not take advantage of others, this glass of wine is your toast." ”

Yonghui immediately took off Zhu Hai from his head, stood up, walked to Tuoba Hong's table, and put Zhu Hai down: "This is a return gift from the little sister." ”

After Yonghui finished saying this, he turned to Emperor Jing and saluted: "Father, this guest has also seen and drunk wine, Yonghui is not good at drinking, and he is a little tired, so he retired first." ”

Emperor Jing smiled playfully, didn't care, and then waved: "Arrange someone to escort the princess back to the palace." ”

Lu Shen nodded: "No!" ”

The-for-tat scene between Yonghui and Tuoba Hong just now made everyone look at it, and they all had doubts, and they really didn't understand why two people who had never met were so tense in their words, and they actually smelled a trace of indescribable atmosphere in the smell of gunpowder.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister."

Xiao Siyu shouted and wanted to catch up.

Emperor Jing scolded angrily: "Yu'er, sit down for me, shout, what kind of system." ”

Emperor Jing was scolded, and Xiao Siyu immediately sat upright.

To Tuoba Hong and Yonghui's abnormal behavior, everyone reacted differently, even Tuoba Hong himself was caught off guard by Yonghui, but he knew very well in his heart that Yonghui recognized him, and Yonghui also knew that he recognized her, he was secretly surprised in his heart, looking at Zhu Hai on the table, he was distracted for a while, but immediately picked up a glass of wine, put his mind away, and with the liquor he drank, his heart was hot.

When the crown prince saw this scene, he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that today's move was not in vain, but why did they behave so abnormally when they met for the first time, which also made them wonder in their hearts.

King Ning couldn't figure it out at all, he felt that he couldn't understand everything in this palace, and there were many such situations in the past, and he couldn't understand it, and then he was always reprimanded when he went to ask his mother, but he didn't explain it to himself, and finally he didn't dare to ask again.

Xiao Siyu was secretly annoyed in her heart, it seems that the imperial sister doesn't want to see this disciple, just say it to stop it by herself, and it won't make the imperial sister angry, but why did Mr. Ye stop talking just now, it seems that you have to ask him when you go back.

There were only two people with expressionless faces, not that they didn't want to, but that these two old men were very bad......

Xie Xun thought to himself: "The plan is for you kid, but the plan can't catch up with the changes, how should you end up with these." ”

Next to Lao Cui, he always poured himself wine quietly, but the two old men were a little drunk.

This family banquet in the Great Liang Palace, where everyone was testing and planning, ended in a peculiar atmosphere.

...

On the carriage, Li Cunxiao couldn't help but ask Tuoba Hong: "Big brother, if your favorite person is Princess Yonghui, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate?" ”

Tuoba Hong nodded: "Yes, it's really inappropriate." ”

Li Cunxiao was a little worried: "What about today's gift?" ”

Tuoba Hong smiled, "I need to know what she thinks." ”

Luo Kedi couldn't help but ask: "Big brother and second brother, what are you talking nonsense?" But I think the eldest brother is not unavoidable to marry Princess Na Yonghui and become the prince, and I have never seen a more beautiful woman than a princess in the world. ”

"Third brother, I've talked in my head, it's not what you think."

Tuoba Hong lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage behind him, which contained the beautiful singer that Emperor Jing had rewarded Tuoba Hong just now.

Li Cunxiao asked: "This Emperor Liang gave the eldest brother a beauty, I'm afraid he has other ideas." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled: "I also think, but it's also a guess, this majesty is probably afraid that I will escort his daughter for thousands of miles, and he will have crooked thoughts, it is better to send me a beautiful woman, remind me, and this woman is not simple." ”

"Why don't you deal with it on the way back?"

Roque muttered, and there was some insincerity in his words.

"This delicate, glamorous and moving beauty, are you willing to do it?"

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but tease him.

Luo Kedi was seen through his thoughts, and he panicked: "I, I, what am I reluctant to do, big brother, how do you say to deal with it?" ”

Tuoba Hong understood when he saw this kid, and said with a smile: "Second brother, reward you!" Duplicity, look at what makes you anxious. ”

Luo Kedi scratched his head and smirked: "Big brother, didn't you say that she might be a fine worker?" ”

Li Cunxiao slapped the head of Roque's enemy violently: "You are stupid, just sleep with her, who asked you to talk to her about military affairs!" ”

Luo Kedi looked up and said pitifully: "I know, I know." ”

Suddenly overjoyed, couldn't help but open the curtain to look back, and actually put his finger in his mouth and whistled.

Li Cunxiao looked at it and laughed out loud: "Look at his monkey anxious ......"

Tuoba Hong smiled slightly, and touched his chest with his hand, the Zhu Hai placed on Tuoba Hong's chest was like a sword, piercing his heart.
