"Li'er is the most important thing about Brother Tingxuan, and it is better to listen to what Brother Tingxuan says. But Her Royal Highness doesn't like me in the first place, if you marry a high-ranking woman like the daughter of the Duke of Ming, Her Royal Highness will not let you marry me. ”

"Don't worry, when my plan succeeds, Zhan Xinglan will die silently, and her father and brother will be buried with her. In my heart, my crown princess is the only one who is a pity. If the queen mother does not agree, I will go on a hunger strike and will not fail you. ”

The air froze for another moment, and Xi Li'er nodded slightly in agreement.

Fu Tingxuan hugged her into his arms again, and in the faint moonlight, the two of them rubbed their ears and temples and intersected their lips and teeth.

Zhan Xinglan retracted his gaze and sat down against the tree.

It turns out that Fu Tingxuan is the first master of painting cakes, and this kind of untouchable words can only be believed by a stupid woman who is carried away by love.

Now that they have set their sights on Fu Xuanlin, this is expected.

But Fu Tingxuan actually wanted to use her family to suppress Fu Xuanlin, so he had to take the next step as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, Zhan Xinglan took advantage of the vast night to leave East Lake.

Lin De Hall is still singing and dancing, Ye Yunyu is comfortable in the guqin with a pair of plain hands, a song of drunken madness lingers around the beam, and the horse is on the back, winning the applause of the house.

Zhan Xinglan sat down when he listened to this song, although it was beautiful and tactful, he always felt that the person who played it was very troubled.

The daughters appeared one after another, and the talents they presented were also the same, except for the piano and chess, which was calligraphy and painting, which was very boring to watch.

Even Xi Li'er, who returned to the table, used her ability to write with both hands, and only a few people applauded.

After a while, Zhan Xinglan slowly walked to the center of the hall and saluted Emperor Jing and Empress Yue.

"Back to Your Majesty, the skills offered by the courtiers may not be able to be displayed in this hall, so I dare to ask Your Majesty and Her Royal Highness the Queen to move outside the palace."

There was an uproar at the banquet, and King Ling was bold, and the daughter of a minister was so arrogant.

"Your Majesty and the Empress are so noble, you dare to be so rude. is also the daughter of the prince, why is she so unmeasured? Could it be that Ming Guogong didn't teach you? ”

Ke Wanning sneered in a weird manner, not caring at all about the appearance of Ming Guogong and the Zhan brothers on the other side gritting their teeth at her.

"If you watch some of Er'er's works, you don't have to work hard, but the skills offered by the courtiers are definitely not very good to do, and if the performance of the courtiers cannot satisfy Your Majesty and the Queen, the courtiers will ask for their own guilt."

Zhan Xinglan was neither humble nor arrogant, which made the people present more curious.

When Emperor Jing heard this, he laughed instead of being angry.

"Tiger father has no dog girl, I like your girl's temper, and it doesn't hurt to watch it outside the palace, what does the queen think?"

"The concubine also thinks it's okay."

"Okay, then the ministers will go outside the palace with me and the queen to have a look."

"Yes."

Everyone came to the outside of the hall and stood on the high platform quietly looking at Zhan Xinglan who was meditating in the open place. Everyone looked at her strange behavior and couldn't help but think that she was grandstanding.

"Zhan Niangzi, when will it start?"

Empress Yue was a little impatient, she didn't like Zhan Xinglan in the first place, but now that Zhan Xinglan let them stand here stupidly, she didn't like this girl even more.

Zhan Xinglan took a deep breath and slowly unfolded his watery eyes.

"It's time for a show, everyone."

As soon as the words fell, all the candles in the hall were extinguished, and the Lin De Hall fell into darkness.

The crowd was overwhelmed by this sudden darkness and looked around.

Zhan Xinglan's peach-colored dress suddenly shone brightly, shining like a night pearl in the dark.

Suddenly, she opened her arms, and the light sleeves of her clothes flew out three meters to both sides.

The sleeves of the shirt turned into countless glittering colorful butterflies and flew into the air, hovering in the night, and one of the golden butterflies flew towards Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing unconsciously raised his hand, and the butterfly obediently landed on Emperor Jing's index finger.

Suddenly, the wings of the fan fell with golden light, reflecting a trace of tenderness on Emperor Jing's face.

Empress Yue on the side gritted her teeth angrily, Emperor Jing had almost never had such a look when facing her, and he couldn't even compare to a butterfly.

The golden butterfly stayed in Emperor Jing's hand for a moment and flew back to the group of butterflies.

Countless dazzling butterflies flutter in the air, spelling out the words "longevity without borders".

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the crowd didn't know who applauded, and the people seemed to react, and suddenly their applause thundered.

The applause continued, and the butterflies suddenly shattered into gold dust and scattered, as brilliant as fireworks.

Just when everyone was still unsatisfied, the golden butterfly slowly danced above Zhan Xinglan's head, and slowly turned into a golden dragon and flew towards Emperor Jing.

The golden dragon hovered over Emperor Jing's head for a moment and flew into the sky, transforming into countless golden butterflies, and slowly spelling out the words "Guotai and Min'an".

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on the longevity of your life and longevity. I wish the mountains and rivers of the cold country are safe and sound, and the country and the people are safe. ”

Zhan Xinglan bowed his hand to Emperor Jing, and the candle flame in the Lin De Hall suddenly lit up, and the four big characters of Guotai and Min'an slowly dissipated.

Everyone has seen too many performances within the rules this night, and Zhan Xinglan's illusion is not profound, but it can be refreshing.

Many Lang Jun stared at Zhan Xinglan without blinking, full of infinite curiosity about her.

"Well, I didn't know that there was a monk hidden among everyone's daughters, and he had such attainments at such a young age, which really impressed me."

Emperor Jing smiled heartily, and looked at Zhan Xinglan's eyes with a little more appreciation and affection.

"The courtier's carving insect skills made His Majesty and the Queen smile."

"Hahaha, Ming Guogong has always been free and uninhibited, but I didn't expect the daughter he raised to be versatile, I don't know who Zhan Niangzi studied from? I love the art of alchemists, and I intend to make friends with masters. ”

"The courtier's teacher is a descendant of the Zuo family, but it's a pity that the teacher has already returned to the west and has no chance to meet Your Majesty."

When Zhan Xinglan came here, it had been two years since Master Immortal had gone, and she had never seen Master before.

"Zuo? It's a shame. ”

When Emperor Jing heard the words Zuo, a familiar face flashed in his mind, he let out a long sigh, and then swept away the sorrow in the corner of his eyes.

"The courtier's daughter is only shallow in learning, and it is the regret of the courtier's daughter to fail to learn half of the teacher's skills."

"I'm just sorry, Mrs. Zhan doesn't need to be careful. Today's performance of Zhan Niangzi can be called the best, giving Zhan's Xinglan double moon gold silk jade hairpin pair, 300 taels of gold, and 500 silk horses to show praise. ”

"Courtiers, thank Your Majesty Longen!"

There were many performers, but only Zhan Xinglan was richly rewarded, and the faces of the other daughters were darker than the other.

And all of this is in Zhan Xinglan's hands.

In the book, Fu Tingxuan killed her on the grounds that she knew illusion, and slandered her as a heinous demon girl, and the people were ignorant and ignorant to listen to the slander, and raised torches to surround the Ming State Mansion.

The once-prosperous Ming Mansion was destroyed in the sea of fire, and the old housekeeper Deng Bo was reduced to ashes in the sea of fire with the Ming Mansion in order to preserve the last dignity of the Zhan family.

Zhan Xinglan must not allow history to repeat itself.

And now she shows her identity as a disciple of Fang Shi in front of Emperor Jing and everyone, and she has also won the love of Emperor Jing.

Fu Tingxuan can no longer harm her and her family in the name of a demon girl.

The banquet did not end until the next day.

Zhan Xinglan was tired and was about to go home with his father and brother, but was stopped by Kou Huai, who came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty has invited the three ladies to talk in the Xuanzheng Palace, and the grandfather and the two Langjun can go back to the house first, and the guards will personally escort the three ladies back to the house later."

Zhan Bofeng sat on the sedan chair and glanced at Zhan Xinglan and nodded silently.

"In this case, there will be a lot of father-in-law Lao Kou to take care of the little girl."

"This is natural, please be relieved."

Zhan Bofeng hummed and lowered the curtain.

The Xuanzheng Hall is majestic and solemn, and the slender and slender shadow of Zhan Xinglan is reflected on the white jade steps.

Kou Huai bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for Zhan Xinglan to enter the hall.

Although Zhan Xinglan did not have a distinction between low and low in his heart, the emperor was an emperor after all, and his aura of not being angry and arrogant filled almost the entire palace. When there are many people, they don't feel it, but when they are alone, they can feel the strong sense of oppression on Emperor Jing.

"The courtiers pay a visit to Your Majesty."

"Flat, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhan Xinglan was generous in his gestures, and he couldn't see that he was half flustered.

"You girl is more like Ming Guogong than your two brothers, with the brute strength in him, Ming Guogong is so blessed."

"The mother died when the courtier was three months old, and she was brought up by her father since she was a child, and her temperament and temperament are similar to her father. It's just that the two elder brothers have been studying in the country since they were children, and they don't often get along with their fathers, although they grow up savagely, they also have their father's blood flowing in their bodies, and they are naturally like their fathers in their bones. ”

Zhan Xinglan looked at Emperor Jing meaningfully.

The speaker has a heart, and the listener has an intention.

In the past, Emperor Jing always thought that the prince was the most like him, but now he realizes that Lao Eleven is more like himself when he was young than the prince.

Emperor Jing nodded thoughtfully, and looked at Zhan Xinglan with appreciation.

"You're not very old, but you're very generous. Ming Guogong is a martial artist, presumably it was your master who taught you etiquette. ”

Zhan Xinglan thought to himself: It can be regarded as asking the point.

"Your Majesty has insight into the world, and if you look at the fire, the courtiers admire."

"I don't know if your master is a man or a woman, where is it? Fang Shi has always been arrogant, how could he accept an official daughter as an apprentice? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtier's master's name is Zuo Junqing, and she is from Liangzhou. The courtier's daughter suffered from smallpox when she was young, and the master traveled all over the world to pass through the Guogong Mansion, and when she heard that the courtier's daughter was seriously ill and could not afford to feel compassion, she came to the rescue. My father didn't believe in the master, but when he saw that his courtiers were dying in pain, he died and became a live horse doctor. Who knew that the master really saved the courtiers, and since then the master has taught the courtiers martial arts etiquette and the art of the monks. ”

"I see."

Zhan Xinglan saw Emperor Jing's eyebrows move slightly, so he guessed something.

She clenched the corners of her clothes and swallowed.

"The courtiers dared to ask, does Your Majesty know the master of the courtiers?"

Emperor Jing raised his head suddenly, he was surprised by the boldness of this little girl, no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous.

"Yes, when I met Junqing in Weiwei, how did you know, did Junqing tell you what you listened?"

"The master never told the courtiers what happened when she was young, and the courtiers just dared to guess."

"Now that you can see it, I won't beat around the bush. Junqing: Why did she die? How was she doing during her lifetime? ”

"Master died of tuberculosis, and before she died, she coughed up blood all day long, and she became thinner and thinner, until in the end she was left with only skin and bones. In the impression of the courtiers, the master always looked sad, and every day she would hold a small copper bell in a daze, and she had been holding the little bell tightly until she died. ”

Zhan Xinglan relied on his memory to describe Zuo Junqing's appearance before he died, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

"Where is she buried?"

"On the north mountain of Liangzhou."

"I know that today I am not allowed to mention half a word to anyone else in every word I say to you, and if you disobey the holy will, I will be punished for the crime of deceiving the king, do you understand?"

There was a trace of sadness in Emperor Jing's eyes, but more guilt.

"The courtiers understand."

Subsequently, Emperor Jing ordered five close guards to send Zhan Xinglan back to the Ming Mansion.

Zhan Xinglan fell asleep after returning to Wangshu Pavilion, and sure enough, acting on the scene was the most tiring.

In the dream, she dreamed again about boating on the lake with a man.

Only this time, she could see the man's dark blue robe.
