In the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the early winter ushered in, and the weather was colder and colder day by day.

Chen Xueying would come to the palace every day, mostly in the Wolf Palace, and she discovered the magic of the four princes.

When she didn't train the wolves well, as long as the four princes joined, he would be trained as soon as he was trained, but it would put a lot of pressure on the wolves.

"Liuha, I've told you many times, wait, don't eat." Chen Xueying took the jerky and swayed, but unfortunately Liuha, the wolf loves to eat it very much, and when she saw her take out the jerky, her saliva couldn't stop.

Even ate it again and again, and when she got to the back, she didn't know whether Liuha was deliberately cheating on meat to eat, or if she was really stupid and couldn't figure it out.

"Hey, hey, hey." The fourth prince was eating plums on the side, and when he saw that she was about to collapse by Liuha, he couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Xueying turned her head, and when the fourth prince saw her looking at herself, she immediately laughed louder, and grinned her teeth, deliberately making strange expressions, obviously provocative.

"Come here, I've got jerky for you today." Chen Xueying beckoned to him.

After this period of getting along, although the four princes are not too friendly to her, they no longer show strong aggression, after all, they have a short mouth.

He staggered over and craned his neck to look at the jerky she had prepared.

In fact, he didn't want to eat it, he had eaten the jerky prepared for the wolves before, and it didn't taste at all, although he had a habit like a wolf, but he ate at the same table with people, and the taste was still more like people, and he didn't like the tasteless jerky.

"The spiced jerky specially made by this palace is guaranteed to be delicious." She fed a piece.

The four princes slowly stuffed it into their mouths, looking dispensable, not particularly looking forward to it.

But when he took a few bites and tasted the taste, his eyes lit up in an instant, and he swallowed quickly, and stared at her hand, expecting her to take out another piece.

Chen Xueying gently hooked the corners of her lips, and she knew that he loved to eat this.

"Just now you laughed at this group of stupid wolves, you can't wait to learn, try it now, will you."

She took out a second piece of jerky and tentatively leaned it in front of him.

The boy moved his nose, but he didn't look up, but his eyes turned upwards and followed the jerky.

Eventually, she placed the jerky on top of his head.

"Wait."

She let go of her hand, but the boy didn't move, still trying to lift his eyeballs up, but unfortunately he was about to stare out of his eyes, and he couldn't see the situation above his head, but he didn't give up.

After waiting for about five seconds, Chen Xueying said, "Eat." ”

Her voice fell, and the fourth prince immediately reached out and grabbed the jerky, put it in his mouth, and chewed it heavily.

Chen Xueying made him wait three times in a row, and each time he successfully completed it.

After all, he could understand the meaning of her words, and although he couldn't say it, he did a good job.

Liuha, who was standing on the side, was staring at the meat in the hands of the fourth prince, and his saliva flowed all over the ground.

"Liuha, look at you, people are better than you, this palace is the first to teach you, it's the end, you can't!" As soon as Chen Xueying raised her hand, she grabbed its ears and gave it a hard lesson.

Liuha screamed, but he didn't get angry, he just frowned, and his ears hung down and he looked pitiful.

They originally rejected Chen Xueying, but she was so good at sugar-coated cannonballs, she served delicious food and drink all day long, and even the four stubborn princes fell, not to mention the wolves, so she naturally couldn't resist it.

"Hahaha-" The fourth prince saw that Liuha was pulled by the ear, and immediately laughed out loud, and howled twice, obviously provoking the wolf.

Liuha's body tensed up suddenly, bared his teeth, and put on an appearance of preparing for war.

Chen Xueying immediately pushed Liuha away to stop them from fighting.

"Fourth brother, you have learned to refuse food so quickly, you need to be rewarded, and this basket of dried meat belongs to you." She shook the basket in her hand.

The four princes immediately rushed over, and when they saw the basket of meat, their eyes lit up.

The wolves were ready to move in an instant, obviously they felt that Chen Xueying was favoring one over the other, and meat was extremely tempting for them carnivores.

"Don't worry, except for Liuha, you're all doing well. It's yours. Chen Xueying took another basket again, and several wolves immediately surrounded and ate one by one.

Chen Xueying took the opportunity to stroke the wolf's head, which felt good, but after brushing the hair on her hand, it was really annoying.

When she raised her head, she saw the fourth prince holding the basket and eating in the corner of the table next to her.

He usually likes to be with wolves, and even sleeps in a den, but that is limited to his own wolves, and when he encounters Lu Zhao's wolves, he avoids them all the time, and it is so clear now.

She walked over slowly, not slowing down, he was clearly aware of her arrival, but he was not nervous, everything was as usual.

In the past few days of getting along and feeding, he has become accustomed to her presence.

While he was eating happily, Chen Xueying tentatively raised her hand and put it on his head.

The fourth prince paused, but after all, she still didn't resist, so she successfully masturbated.

The atmosphere was warm, and the voice of the palace people came from outside: "Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will take you back." ”

"Huh-" As soon as the fourth prince heard the word "prince", he instantly became extremely excited, slapped Chen Xueying's hand away, howled at her again, and instantly turned into a white-eyed wolf.

Chen Xueying immediately retreated, and the wolves, who had been eating happily, heard the howl of the four princes, and instantly dropped the meat basket and rushed directly in front of her.

The two sides once again formed an antagonistic posture, and war was on the verge of breaking out.

"Don't fight, let's go." Chen Xueying pressed the corner of her forehead and suddenly felt tired.

She soon led the wolves out, and it was raining lightly.

Lu Zhao held a paper umbrella and stood quietly under the eaves waiting, the rain and fog submerged him, but he looked even more majestic.

"Lu Zhao." She called out to him, lifted the hem of her skirt, and quickly rushed under his umbrella.

The man came back to his senses, raised his hand slightly, and moved the umbrella forward, as if to greet her.

"Do you want to get on the sedan car?" He asked, gesturing to her embroidered shoes, "Shoes will get wet." ”

Chen Xueying has always been picky and exquisite, she has been finely dressed from head to toe, and she is not a precious object that is not worn on her body.

In addition to the gorgeous embroidery, her embroidered shoes are also embedded with several eastern pearls of different sizes, and the one on the tip of the shoe is the largest.

Even a person like him, who didn't pay attention at all, was blinded by her embroidered shoes, which was really gorgeous.

The Dongzhu on the tip of her shoes is bigger than the ones worn by the women of the harem of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

He is not blind, he can see naturally, and he knows that it is very valuable.

The man took the initiative to mention it, which made Chen Xueying slightly stunned.

Good guy, the big straight man of steel would feel sorry for her shoes.

"No, I want to go for a walk in the rain."

Lu Zhao nodded, didn't say much, just held the umbrella and walked forward with her.

"It's really not the right time for you to come, just now the palace has touched the fourth brother's dog's head, and you can tame this little cub at a glance. As a result, as soon as he heard your name, he began to squeak and scream again, and all these days were in vain. She couldn't help but grumble under her breath.

Her voice mixed in with the lingering drizzle, too, became slimy, as if she was coquettish.

The man raised an eyebrow: "Don't try to tame him and let him grow wildly." ”

"No one can tame him if he doesn't want to. Hongu just went with the flow. Chen Xueying shook her head and defended herself.

Lu Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at her: "You mean he wants to be your wolf cub?" ”

Chen Xueying sighed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't say it so misleadingly, okay?" The fourth brother is a big stubborn species, how can he succumb to whom? I just think he's a little lonely, and he wants to communicate with people in addition to his own wolf pack. ”

In the second half of the sentence, her voice was a little low, and she looked a little melancholy.

The fourth prince was actually only thirteen years old, a half-grown teenager, and he had been living in the wolves for a long time.

A person like him, who obviously has some defects, urgently needs the care and tenderness of those around him, but unfortunately no one in this palace can treat him like this, and no one is even willing to approach him, understand him, let alone cure him.

"Delusion." Lu Zhao directly interrupted her emotions, and said in a hard tone: "This is the path he chose by himself, if you want to be a wolf, you can't become a human." Even if he shows weakness to you and you feel pitiful, don't stretch out your hand, because you can't save him. ”

When Chen Xueying heard this, she immediately chuckled: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you think too highly of me, right?" I'm just a person who comes and kisses, and I can't save myself, let alone save others? The reason why he got close to the fourth brother was because he wanted to return the favor of the queen's mother. ”

Actually, she is just accompanied, and what she says to save and heal is nonsense.

She couldn't do it, and she didn't have the heart to do it.

Lu Zhao was silent and speechless.

Chen Xueying kicked her shoes and couldn't help complaining: "The road of your Northern Qi Palace is too bad, if it rains so little, there will be stagnant water, if it rains heavily, will it flood the palace?" ”

Sure enough, her pink and delicate embroidered shoes were so wet that they couldn't even distinguish their original color after being stained with muddy water.

"Do you want to get on the sedan car?" He asked again.

The sedan chair has been following behind the two, although there is an umbrella on it, but there are still some places that are not taken care of, and it is wet.

The rain is getting heavier, and it's more or less embarrassing.

Chen Xueying pursed her lips, obviously unhappy.

She didn't want to continue walking, nor did she want to sit in the drenched sedan chair, so she was so deadlocked, and the air pressure was very low.

In fact, it was more of a bad mood, she knew that what Lu Zhao said was the truth, but it was inevitable that she would have a small pimple.

The man sighed softly, and his voice fell in the rain, barely audible.

He stuffed the umbrella into her hand and squatted down directly: "Carrying you alone." ”

She was lying on his back, Lu Zhao's shoulders were very broad, and he felt very secure when he leaned on him.

In today's fashionable terms, it's probably a double-door refrigerator.

"You came to pick me up today, just to remind me not to get too close to the fourth prince, right?" She leaned into his ear and whispered a grumble.

The rain outside was getting louder, and she didn't want to shout at the top of her voice, so she almost lay in his ear, and the breath she breathed when she spoke blew behind her ears, making the man can't help but want to shrink his neck.

Lu Zhao didn't answer, he directly sped up his pace, and actually ran quickly in the rain.

Chen Xueying didn't check it, the umbrella in her hand was blown to the side by the wind, and suddenly the fine rain hit her head-on, pouring her into a soup chicken.

"Lu Zhao, you're done!" Her roar was drowned out by the rain.

October 15 is Lu Wuji's 45th birthday.

The palace had been preparing a month in advance, and on this day, there was already a long queue outside the palace gate, all of which came to congratulate.

Forty-five is not a whole life, in fact, there is no need to do such a big show, but in recent years, the Northern Qi Dynasty has become stronger and stronger.

First gathered the Nanqiang Kingdom, and then defeated Dayan, although it was said that it was impossible to eat a bite, but it was only a matter of time before Princess Dayan came to make peace, and also estimated the strength of the other party, it was a matter of time before Dayan was in his pocket.

For this reason, this year's birthday of the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty will be held in a big way, not only the courtiers of Jicheng came to congratulate, but also many military generals who were guarding outside were transferred back to congratulate together.

Lu Wuji feasted the ministers, and the male and female guests were naturally separated.

The banquet of the female guests was placed in the Chaolu Palace, and the wives of the major families were all present.

The queen mother could not attend, and the full authority was arranged by Yu Guifei.

Originally, Chen Xueying, as the crown princess and the future lord of the six palaces, could actually operate it together, but Concubine Yu did not give up power, and she happened to be idle.

Concubine Li also arrived, she was actually not out of confinement, and she was still a few days away, but in the face of such an important occasion, she obviously couldn't bear it.

Sure enough, after she appeared, there was a lot of praise everywhere.

Behind this concubine is the Zhong family, and now she has given birth to a little prince, I heard that the emperor will make her a concubine soon, and she and Concubine Yu can fight in the ring.

The queen is seriously ill all the year round, and she may die one day, and the new queen at that time is estimated to be born among these two.

Concubine Li was touted to be fluttering, and she enjoyed the moment.

In fact, she also knew that these people were not trying to curry favor with her, but wanted to curry favor with the forces behind her, but so what.

At least tonight, she is the most beautiful woman in this palace, and even Concubine Yu has to avoid her edge.

"Concubine Li's complexion is really good, not at all like someone who has just given birth to a child, this must have a fairy law to protect the body, right?"

"Who's to say it isn't? After giving birth to a child at that time, the courtiers were completely yellow-faced women, too old to speak, and they dared to come out to meet people after a long time. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was already warm enough, and even the words of the immortal law were made up, Concubine Li couldn't help but look around proudly.

Chen Xueying stretched out her hand to support her cheeks, her fingers stirring the tea, looking careless, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Concubine Li's face changed, and she suddenly felt a little blocked.

"Don't just talk about me, the crown princess has just entered the palace, you still see her for the first time, how can you be left out in the cold?" Concubine Li took the initiative to lead the topic to Chen Xueying.

It's just that the tone is quite yin and yang, and it's obviously not good.

Those who can come to the birthday banquet today are naturally people with heads and faces, and everyone knows that Concubine Li and the crown princess are not on good terms.

At this moment, Concubine Li is in full swing, and if the crown princess hadn't intervened by the queen, she would have been pressed to make amends to Concubine Li, who to choose between the two of them, everyone naturally knows in their hearts.

"Today is the emperor's birthday, and in a few days it will be the full moon wine of the little prince. Wait for the congratulations to end, and then go to see the crown princess. "There was a lady who came out and said in a crisp and pleasant voice.

Immediately caused a chorus, and Concubine Li once again became the focus.

And Chen Xueying, who was put aside as soon as she was raised, was still drinking tea slowly, not caring at all that she was left out.

From the moment Concubine Li opened her mouth to provoke, Mrs. Zhong's brows furrowed tightly.

At this time, seeing that everyone in the palace, either on their own initiative or being forced to be helpless, deliberately ignored the crown princess, Mrs. Zhong became even more angry.

She took the initiative to walk up to Chen Xueying and talk to her.

"The courtiers have seen the crown princess."

"Mrs. Zhong, please get up." Chen Xueying did not embarrass her.

"Concubine Li was spoiled by the family, and now that she has just given birth to the little prince, it is inevitable that she will get a little carried away and crash into your place, please forgive me." Madame Zhong apologized softly, and went straight to the point, her tone pleading.

The two of them spoke in a relatively small voice, and the surroundings were noisy, and others could not hear clearly, but at this time, Mrs. Zhong directly contradicted Concubine Li and openly supported the crown princess, which is a bit intriguing.

Obviously, her move is to tell everyone that Concubine Li's friendship with the crown princess is a personal decision of Concubine Li, and it has nothing to do with the Zhong family.

Li Concubine felt that she had been betrayed, and immediately crooked her mouth angrily, and even the praise around her seemed dull and tasteless.

The atmosphere was a little stalemate for a while, until the banquet began, and Concubine Yu arranged for the palace people to report the birthday gift given to the emperor by everyone in the front hall in real time.

At times like this, it is natural that each family will do their best to sacrifice rare treasures and strive to impress the Sacred Heart.

The ladies of the Aaro Palace, although they couldn't see the scene, couldn't help but be amazed when they listened to the broadcast.

What pearl agate, exotic flowers and plants, many treasures that I heard about for the first time have come out, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

The eunuch kept singing, and everyone couldn't help but discuss who could give the best gift.

"In my opinion, it was the coral dragon sent by Lord Liu, the coral was extremely precious, and it was finally fished out of the deep sea, and it was carved into a soaring dragon, I don't know how much craftsmanship it took to work."

"I don't think so, I saw it with my own eyes a few days ago, and when it comes to talking about a dragon, it's actually only arm-length, not very big, and it doesn't deserve to be the first place. It should be the map of Dayan sent by General Zhong, which is the most in line with the emperor's wishes. ”

Zhong Hai, as a victorious general who fought all year round, knew a lot about Dayan, and the Northern Qi Dynasty often planted spies in the past to draw a map of Dayan.

The general, in this way, expressed his determination to conquer to the emperor.

But if the emperor says that he wants to fight Dayan today, he will be able to attack tomorrow and win undefeated.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, they were even about to start talking, and some people even tested the tone of the harem concubines, wanting to know which congratulatory gift was in favor of the emperor.

The other concubines didn't know, and even the most popular concubine shook their heads.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Yu chuckled and opened her mouth: "Concubine Ben knows, what you said is not!" ”

Everyone was shocked and immediately asked.

Concubine Yu didn't sell Guan Zi either: "What exactly is the object, the emperor didn't say, but the emperor has already picked the most desirable congratulatory gift and specially put it at the end." Whoever will give the last gift later, that gift is the emperor's favorite. ”

As soon as her words fell, everyone praised Concubine Yu again.

Concubine Li's face froze, she patronized and fought with Chen Xueying, completely forgetting the existence of others.

Concubine Yu didn't look at it and didn't fight, but it only took a few words to overturn Concubine Li's previous advantages.

What if she gave birth to a prince, Concubine Yu is the biological mother of the second prince, and she is still a person trusted by the emperor, and even informed her of this kind of thing in advance, it can be seen that Concubine Li is just a pet thing, if you talk about the weight in the emperor's heart, it is still Concubine Yu who is better.

The gift list sang round after round, and finally when it was almost the end, I saw Chief Manager Qin beside Lu Wuji coming over.

"I've seen all the ladies and ladies." He saluted neatly.

"Chief Qin, but what does the emperor command?"

"Please invite the crown princess to the Hall of Light, it's time for you to give a gift." Chief Manager Qin said respectfully.

The hall that was originally hotly discussed instantly fell silent, and everyone was shocked.

"The crown princess wants a gift? Hasn't the prince already offered it before? Someone couldn't hold back and blurted out.

Here in Northern Qi, women have no status at all, how can they have a share of gifts from women.

It was all the men who gave it in the Hall of Light, even if the gifts might have been carefully selected and planned by them, but it was not their turn to give gifts at all.

Chen Xueying got up, and Shi Shiran saluted at the head of Concubine Yu.

"You guys use it slowly, and you can go back to the palace." She smiled, didn't care about the strange atmosphere in the hall at all, lifted the hem of her skirt and left with Chief Manager Qin.

"Guifei Niangniang, the last person you said to appear, but the crown princess?" Concubine Li was the first to ask, she couldn't hold back. ：，，
