Konoha listened to Mu Beimo's suggestion and was not in a hurry to ask Mu Yicheng again to ask him to be in charge of the army.

In this way, the harmony came to the New Year, Xiling has always attached importance to the New Year, and every year a grand palace banquet will be held in the palace, and all the ministers and their families will come to participate.

Yao Hongzhi's second daughter, Yao Lin, began to buy clothes and accessories a long time in advance, in order to dominate the crowd on this day.

The palace banquet is held at the time of the morning, but the female dependents of the court can enter the palace when they are in power, especially the family daughters of the harem concubines, who can enter the palace to accompany their families.

Yao Lin came early, but not for her eldest sister of the imperial concubine, she sat in her sister's long-term palace for a while, and then sneaked out with her maid.

Yao Lin came so early for Mu Beimo.

She has admired Mu Beimo since she was a child, and the prince treats her very well, but since Konoha returned to the court, she has not seen the prince's brother for a long time.

Because of Yao Hongzhi's request, Yao Lin couldn't go to the East Palace, and she didn't usually have the opportunity to meet Konoha, but I heard that this Konoha county lord was the same age as her, and she had a close relationship with the prince after returning to the dynasty. Yao Lin felt that Mu Beimo was not looking for her like before, it must be this Konoha ghost.

Yao Lin had already planned to make a show in front of Konoha today, so that she would know that she was the most beloved person of the prince's brother.

Yao Lin took the little maid to wait for him on the road of Mubei Mo, she specially chose Fuyun Pavilion to wait, here is about three zhang high, hanging a lot of red lanterns to show joy. In her imagination, when Mu Beimo came, she pretended to stumble and jumped down from here, just like a heavenly immortal.

And Mu Beimo will definitely catch her, when the time comes, she pretends to be frightened and hides in Mu Beimo's arms to be coquettish, and the prince's brother must be very distressed. Let that Konoha take a good look at how much the prince's brother cares about himself.

Mu Ye and Mu Beimo came to the palace early, invited Mu Yicheng to peace, and had lunch together, and Mu Yicheng played chess with Mu Beimo for a long time. Waiting for Mu Yicheng to prepare for a short rest and recuperate for the palace banquet in the evening, the two came out of the dormitory.

The two were walking side by side on the road, when they heard a scream, and saw a man fall down from the high pavilion not far ahead.

Konoha reacted very quickly, jumped high, borrowed the strength of the cypress tree beside him, flew to Yao Lin who fell, and after catching the person steadily, he pulled a red silk hanging with a lantern to slow down the fall, and protected the person in his arms to land safely.

Yao Lin was very angry when she saw that it was not Mu Beimo who caught her, but after seeing Mu Ye clearly, she let out a soft "ah", and her anger disappeared.

It was because Mu Beimo knew that Mu Ye didn't like to wear fancy clothes, so he asked someone to buy new clothes according to her usual preferences. So today, Konoha is wearing a dark robe with a golden silk wrapping edge, covered with a big red feather yarn, and his hair is only tied with a simple gilded dragon pattern silver hairpin. Coupled with the already heroic spirit of her facial features, she has been slightly modified today, and it looks like a jade tree in the wind, and her body is like a cloud bamboo. was recognized by Yao Lin as a man, thinking that she was Mu Beimo's newly acquired wolf guard.

Mu Beimo also recognized Yao Lin, and was about to ask her why she fell and whether she was frightened.

I saw Yao Lin happily jumping from Konoha's arms, grabbing Konoha's wrist, and shouting at Mu Beimo: "Brother Prince, you lend him to me and let him play with me for a while." ”

Mu Beimo smiled with a smile in his eyes: "You two go play, I will block it for you at the palace banquet." ”

Yao Lin cheered, dragged Konoha and ran.

Before Mu Ye could react, the person had already been dragged away, and she couldn't shout to ask Mu Beimo who this girl was, so she had to follow Yao Lin in a daze.

Yao Lin obviously comes to the palace often and is familiar with the dark paths, but her physical strength is not good, and she begins to pant after running for a while, and her pace slows down.

Konoha saw that she was struggling, so he grabbed her: "Where are you going?" You show the way, and I'll take you. ”

Yao Lin shook his head: "No, no, no, you fly with me now, and you will have no strength in a while." ”

Konoha was even more curious: "So, where are you going to take me?" ”

"You don't know, there is a star picking pavilion in the palace, but it's too high, I've always wanted to go up there to watch the fireworks, but it's locked, and the prince's brother has to guard by the king's side, so he can't accompany me. So I thought about it for a long time and couldn't get up. You're so good, you can definitely take me up. Yao Lin pointed ahead, her tone full of excitement.

Konoha sounded interesting, and he was also interested: "Don't worry, I'm doing a good job, and it's not difficult to take you all the way." ”

After saying that, he hugged Yao Lin's waist, lifted his breath, and flew up to the palace wall.

Yao Lin only felt that her body was light, and she stood on the high wall, the shadows of the trees under her feet flashed quickly, and the cold wind in winter carried small snow particles across her face, and she flew up like a bird, and couldn't help laughing happily, and the laughter like silver bells spilled all over the ground.

But in half a tea time, Konoha took Yao Lin past the guards of the Star Picking Pavilion and came to the door.

Konoha looked up and saw that this Star Picking Pavilion was indeed high, twelve or thirteen zhang. With her ability, it is only a matter of blinking an eye to go up by herself, but it is a little difficult to bring a Yao Lin who is not martial arts at all.

Yao Lin saw her stop and deliberately asked, "You won't be afraid, right?" Or are you too good to take me up? ”

Konoha knew that she was provoking herself, but she couldn't suppress her competitive temper: "What's so difficult about this, I'm just afraid that you'll be scared halfway through, and I won't coax you when you cry." ”

Yao Lin stomped her feet: "You don't talk nonsense, let's go up quickly." ”

Forced to this, Konoha had to bow slightly: "You come up, I'll carry you." ”

Yao Lin jumped on Konoha's back like a rabbit. As soon as Konoha jumped, he was more than a foot high, and then he was as flexible as an ape, and he could jump far away with his fingers hooking the rafters.

Yao Lin had been closing her eyes all the time, listening to the whirring wind in her ears, she couldn't help but be curious, quietly opened her eyes and took a look, she was so frightened that she screamed, and firmly hugged Konoha's neck.

Konoha was led back by her, so that he could not be planted.

Yao Lin also knew that she had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to move anymore. Fortunately, Konoha stabilized his center of gravity, and after a slight pause, he climbed up again.

After a moment or so, Yao Lin felt that the two of them had stopped, but she didn't dare to open her eyes again, so she heard Konoha whisper in her ear: "It's already here." ”

Yao Lin opened his eyes at this time, and saw that he had really arrived at the highest point of the Star Picking Pavilion, where he could overlook the entire palace, and from a distance, thousands of red lanterns were sprinkled in the dark night like stars, and the noisy voices and shadows in the Taiji Hall in the distance came from all over the world, as if they were not in the world.

Yao Lin suddenly remembered that it seemed to be too early at this time, and there was still more than an hour before the fireworks were released, and her enthusiasm was extinguished like a basin of cold water. A gust of wind blew, it was very high here, and it was even more cold like a knife, Yao Lin shivered, and was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.

Konoha took off her big hat and put it on Yao Lin, she had nested in the snow for a day and a night to ambush the enemy, and at this time, she was running her internal force, so she naturally didn't take this coldness into her eyes.

"I'm fine, if you're not in a hurry, I can wait with you."

Yao Lin shrank in the warm air, and her whole mood improved. Although it stands to reason that she should go to the palace banquet, Mu Beimo has promised that she will block it for her, so there is no need to go. I finally came to the Star Picking Pavilion, so I naturally wanted to watch the fireworks before I was willing to go back.

Only then did Konoha have the time to ask her identity: "I don't know who you are?" ”

Yao Lin secretly praised in her heart that she guessed correctly, this is the new wolf guard by Mu Beimo's side, otherwise it would be impossible not to know herself, so she raised her face: "Saying it scares you to death, Miss Ben's father is the prime minister of the dynasty; My sister is the imperial concubine in the palace; I am Yao Lin, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. But you're new here, and it's understandable that you don't know Miss Ben. ”

Konoha was shocked, she really didn't expect the scheming Yao Hongzhi to be able to teach such a simple and delicate girl, although Yao Hongzhi was against her everywhere, but this girl's temperament was pleasing to her.

Yao Lin over there didn't see Konoha's thoughts at all: "You are so good, the prince's brother must appreciate you quite a lot, I haven't seen him lead people by his side before." ”

Konoha felt a little strange, but he couldn't say what was wrong, but it sounded like Yao Lin was indeed praising herself, so she agreed.

The two chatted like this, to be precise, it was Yao Lin who kept talking, and Konoha just listened carefully on the side, occasionally asking a few words to find out about the things in Yao's mansion.

Yao Lin didn't hear that Konoha was tricking her at all, asking what to say. Konoha listened patiently, piecing together what she wanted to know from the many descriptions.

Because he was worried that Yao Lin would say too much and inhale the cold air, Konoha made a special trip to the imperial dining room and secretly took a few pots of wine and a few dishes. She thought that a young lady like Yao Lin didn't like greasy, so she specially picked a few lighter ones, but Yao Lin angrily asked her why she didn't take some delicious meat dishes, such as steamed lamb roasted flower duck and stewed white eel and other good dishes. Konoha had to run again, thanks to her good work, she was able to run up and down these many times on this more than ten zhang high Star Picking Pavilion.

Konoha originally wanted to let Yao Lin eat the food and drink the wine for himself, but Yao Lin was choked when he ate the white eel, and Konoha had to pour several pots of wine into Yao Lin in distress to make Yao Lin's throat more comfortable.

After tossing and turning like this for a long time, I finally survived until the fireworks rose into the sky. The big fireworks exploded, and the golden rain showered with silver flowers, which were brilliant to the extreme, and then turned into meteors and slowly disappeared. Yao Lin shouted excitedly, leaning on the railing and stretching out her hand, as if to hold the spark.

Konoha was infected by her excitement, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved upward.

"Thank you, it's the most beautiful fireworks I've ever seen." Yao Lin hadn't forgotten her yet, and shouted at her in a deafening roar.

Until the fireworks burned out and the night sky returned to silence, Yao Lin was still in a state of excitement. Konoha was still calm, knowing that the palace banquet was almost over according to the time, and it was time to go back.

Konoha pulled Yao Lin, who was overly excited: "You also watched the fireworks, shouldn't you go back?" ”

Yao Lin was a little reluctant, but she also knew that it was indeed too late, so she nodded in agreement, but remembered that she had planned to show off at the palace banquet today. She would rather use the opportunity to be in the limelight to watch this fireworks, but today she also planned to give that Konoha a dismount, and missed this opportunity today, and she didn't know when there would be a next time.

When she was annoyed, Yao Lin had a flash of inspiration, thought of a way, and pulled the person next to her: "Today, you took me to see this firework, Miss Ben was very happy and decided to treat you as her own." ”

Konoha held back a smile: "It's really my blessing to be able to make you look at it." ”

Yao Lin nodded: "So, I want you to do me a favor." ”

Konoha was curious, and said that I also brought you up to the Star Picking Tower, and I also let you see the fireworks, and let you eat good wine and food, how can there be a place for me to help, so he casually perfunctory: "You say, I will help if I can." ”

Yao Lin leaned over and was very serious: "You know that there is a Konoha county lord next to Brother Prince, I don't like her, you are so important to Brother Prince, help me trick her out one day, I will clean her up." ”

"I think it's okay today." Konoha replied.

Yao Lin raised her eyebrows and sighed: "I praised you twice, why don't you know what to do, it's so late today, where is there time!" ”

Konoha stretched out his hand, palmed his palm towards himself, and swiped from top to bottom: "Oh, I'm Konoha." ”
