Yun Yige didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked: "If my guess is correct, the princess is the daughter of King Zuoxian, what conditions did King Liwang promise you, so that you will not hesitate to come to the capital of Northern Chu to take risks." ”

"Does the princess think that even if he wins away from the king, will he fulfill his promise?"

"Have you ever wondered what awaits you if you fail?"

A series of questions, Hu Yan Yingxia was flustered, she was not very clear about the specific situation on the Wang's side, it was all Hu Yan Manrong to discuss, she was just an executor.

"Don't waste any more words on me, and don't think about sowing discord and delaying time, no one will come to save you. Moreover, I have long figured out the guards and terrain of the palace, and at this moment, there are not a few guards left in the palace. ”

"What awaits you?"

Huyan Yingxia looked at Yun Yige's face, and suddenly felt that maybe he could peel off the skin of this face and make it into a human skin mask, so that he could have the beauty of this prosperous world.

……

The streets of the capital are full of people, brightly lit, and colorful lanterns are hung on the branches, like stars. Everywhere there are talented and beautiful people guessing lantern riddles, vendors setting up stalls and hawking, laughter and cheers one after another.

Yun Yiyou took the maid lilac, held the lantern, and walked around the winding street with a lot of food.

She looked at the lanterns of different colors, dazzling, there are dragons and phoenixes, there are beasts and phoenixes, there are auspicious ones, and there are rich peonies......

There are also fragrant snacks of all colors, which are full of stalls in the streets and alleys, such as dragon beard noodles, mung bean cakes, pea yellows, candied fruits, osmanthus cakes, poria cakes, cloud cakes, lotus cakes, donkey rolls, and fragrant osmanthus cakes.

"Miss be careful!"

Lilac tugged on Yun Yiyou's sleeve and dodged to the side, avoiding the collision of the children behind her.

A few little boys chased after a few little girls and frolicked, and adults with small lanterns and sugar men called their children's names in the back.

There was a festive and reunion atmosphere, but Lilac was uneasy, she always felt that this year's Lantern Festival, the streets were weird.

She pulled Yun Yiyou's sleeve and begged, "Miss, let's also come out to see the excitement, go back quickly!" ”

"Today's lady has spoken, if we are not allowed to go out, if we are discovered, we will have our legs broken!"

Yun Yiyou shook off her hand impatiently: "Oh, what are you afraid of?" There are so many people here, what can happen?! ”

As he was talking, Yun Yiyou's mouth was suddenly covered, and the whole person was lifted up.

She kicked her legs in a panic, but to no avail, and she and Lilac were quietly caught in the alley beside her.

"Don't move, it's me." A familiar man's voice came to his ears.

"Huai Ye?" Yun Yiyou turned his head to look, and was surprised that all the food in his hand fell to the ground.

She hadn't seen him for a long time, and how could she not be surprised that someone who had been haunted by her dreams suddenly appeared in front of her?

Huai Ye's eyes quickly swept around, and when he saw a large bamboo basket, he picked her up again and stuffed her in: "It's dangerous outside, I can't send you back at this time, hide here, don't move, don't go anywhere." ”

Yun Yiyou nodded obediently, she heard some shouts, and at this moment she also realized that something was wrong. The maid Lilac also climbed into another bamboo basket with a lot of eyes, but fortunately, the two of them are small, and this bamboo basket is big, so the two of them can sit in it completely.

She suddenly thought of the elders in the family, and her eyes suddenly became wet: "My father, mother, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, ......"

Without waiting for Yun Yiyou to finish asking, Huai Ye replied: "There are people to protect you, there will be no accidents, you should hide here." ”

"Take this."

Huai Ye unloaded a dagger from his waist and put it into Yun Yiyou's hand, grabbing her hand and holding the dagger tightly.

"Hmm."

The jewel on the dagger hurt her soft hand.

Yun Yiyou looked up at him with tears in her eyes: "Are you leaving?" ”

"I'm going to save the driver, don't be afraid." Huai Ye stroked her head.

Huai Ye went out of the city at the behest of His Majesty and then turned back, creating the illusion that he was not in the capital, so that King Li's men could relax their vigilance, and at this moment, King Liwang should have brought people into the palace, and he was going to rush to the palace.

"After a while, Liang Xian will send someone to send you back to Yunfu."

"Liang Xian is Liang Qianlan's brother, you've seen it." Huai Ye looked at the little girl who was about to be scared silly, and added.

Huai Ye covered the lid of the bamboo basket, grabbed the nearby weeds and lanterns and threw them indiscriminately, and ordered the people around him to go to Yunfu immediately to report the news, and at the same time went to find Liang Xian, the garrison of the capital, to ask him to send people back, leaving a few guards to protect them secretly, and then took people away.

……

In the palace, colorful lanterns were hung everywhere, and the palace banquet was held as usual this year.

This palace banquet is different from the past, placed near the imperial garden, more than a dozen round tables are scattered, each table is lit with lily incense, placed Ruyi cake, auspicious fruit and other pastries, delicacies are fragrant, delicious food.

Emperor Xuan Zheng sat upright on the dragon chair, smiling and looking serene. The ministers' cups were staggered, and the aroma of wine overflowed.

There are several princesses sitting at the round table on the other side, in addition to the Loulan princess Batuya, who often comes to Northern Chu, there is a new princess of Nanzhao this year, Nanzhao Zixuan.

The music is melodious, the troupe on the stage is singing, and after singing a play, Xuan Zheng happily clapped his hands and said: "Good songs, good words, good singing skills, reward!" ”

Concubine Chun sat next to Xuan Zheng, saw the children singing off the stage, and instructed the palace maids to prepare some hot soup and hot meals for the children to eat.

After singing the song "Feng Qiuluan", another group of people took over on the stage.

"Aifei, do you want to see it?" Xuan Zheng held the hand of the pure concubine.

Concubine Chun's cheeks were slightly red: "What the concubines see are all love and love that cannot be put on the table, all of them are "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", "Chu Jiangqing" and the like, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Xuan Wenduo said coquettishly: "Father, why don't you ask your son?" ”

"I don't know about you yet, do you want to play drumming and passing flowers? It's like this every year, and there's nothing new. ”

Xuan Zheng's tone was doting: "When we watch another play, we will let people bring the flower drum over and play with you to beat the drum and pass the flowers!" ”

"Thank you, Father!"

Xuan Zheng looked around and asked in a cold voice, "Concubine Wan, don't you like to watch dramas the most?" Why didn't I see her today? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Concubine Wan Niangniang contracted the wind cold, coughed nonstop, and was afraid of illness to Your Majesty, so she didn't come today."

Xuan Zheng looked into the distance, his ears moved slightly, and said, "Well, let the imperial doctor take a good look." ”

He turned his head to look at the people on the stage and muttered for a moment: "Then let's have a song "General Order"!" ”

The actors on the stage began to sing, and when they reached the climax, suddenly there was a shout behind them, and everyone turned their heads to see that the king was wearing armor and holding a big sword, followed by a group of soldiers.

"Father, my son will give my father a big gift today!"

"What are you doing here?" Xuan Zheng put down the wine glass in his hand.
