019 Po
In the early morning of spring, the palace of Hejian County is as quiet as ever.
Squeak β
The door was suddenly opened, and the maid bowed her head and walked in: "County Lord, the County King is here." β
"Let him in!" Bao, who was immersed in observing the two white and chubby little insects in the box, did not reply, but responded indifferently.
Then, I saw the king of Hejian walking in slowly.
His body has begun to decay, not only his steps are much slower, but his body is also slightly rickety. However, that white hair added a bit of a sense of fairy wind to him. The delicate face has lost its youthful charm with the erosion of time, but it has a graceful and loving bearing when you look closely.
He walked into the room and looked at the little lady who was bent on dealing with Gu worms, and couldn't help but have a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Po. He exclaimed.
Ah Bao came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly picked up the box to show him: "Grandfather, look, my raw bone Gu has been raised." When he comes back, he can plant it again, and then he will know the effect!"
"Well, the Gu worms you made have always been the best, and this time it will definitely achieve the desired effect. King Hejian nodded with a smile, but then slowly put away his smile, "However, he shouldn't come back!"
"No way. Po shook his head.
"It's true. The last time he left, Governor Qiao wrote to me, thanking us for our efforts over the years, and you have also seen the many gold, silver and jewels sent with the letter. Now, he is not young, and they are ready to let him go back and become their own son. So if he goes back this time, he probably won't come back. "The king of Hejian County.
"No way. Ah Bao still said these three words, with a determined face, "He will definitely come back." β
The king of Hejian raised his eyebrows. "You're so confident?"
"Yes. Bao bowed, "Without me, he won't be able to live." β
The King of Hejian smiled.
"In that case, let's not talk about him. A few days ago, I asked someone to prepare all the clothes and jewelry for you, you should try them quickly, and you will go to the palace for a banquet the day after tomorrow. β
"Why do you want to enter the palace again?" Hearing this, a trace of normal emotion finally appeared on Ah Bao's face-no, it shouldn't be normal! After all, a woman of her age, who doesn't like to dress up beautifully and go out to attract Xiao Langjun's attention? Especially since she is still so good-looking. However, this child does not like to go out very much, and she is not so resistant every time she goes to the Hanyang Palace. Elsewhere, she pushes when she can. If you can't push it, it must be a look of disgust, from three days before you go out until you come back, your face is not good, you can't see where you go.
The king of Hejian said helplessly: "You are not young, and it is time to say goodbye." β
"I'm not married. Po immediately said.
"I know. It's just that now it's a banquet hosted by Dugu Guifei herself, and the post inviting you is still sent by someone who wrote it herself. We can't refuse Concubine Dugu's kindness, right? You've rejected it many times before, and this time you have to go through the motions. "The king of Hejian County persuaded him bitterly.
Po still didn't want to go.
It's just that when she looked up at her grandfather's old face full of helplessness and hope, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
"Okay, I'll go. β
Three days later, she drove into the palace as promised.
However, the complicated dresses and heavy jewelry prepared for her by the king of Hejian were useless. She was still only wearing the black robe she was used to wearing, and her hair was simply curled into a bun.
After entering the palace gate, changing to a soft sedan car, people went directly to the imperial garden.
It's spring, and it's time for flowers and people to be beautiful. Dugu Guifei has no other hobbies, just enjoy the flowers, watch the young boys and girls jumping happily in front of her, and be a matchmaker by the way. The saint dotes on her, so naturally she tosses it casually.
So, almost every once in a while, a flower-viewing banquet was held in the imperial garden under various names, but all the young Langjun and the little ladies were invited. What its purpose is, at a glance.
In fact, Dugu Guifei had already posted to invite her last year, but the king of Hejian County refused on the grounds that Ah Bao was still young and weak. But now, she is fourteen years old, and Dugu Guifei refuses to let her go, and this year she is going to ask for death. The king of Hejian County couldn't refuse, so he could only let her come.
After entering the imperial garden, Ah Bao naturally went to greet Dugu Guifei first.
Dugu Guifei is kind and beautiful, and she is really beautiful and compelling under the decoration of luxurious clothes. Maybe it's because she's in a good mood, and she's shining with a dazzling brilliance all over her body. The twelve-year-old Princess Huayang sat beside her, the little princess and Dugu Guifei were born very similarly, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, presumably she must be a big beauty when she grows up in the future. However, now she has recovered from a serious illness, and her little face is still a little pale. Kneeling beside Dugu Guifei, she looked thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
As soon as they saw Ah Bao, Dugu Guifei's mother and daughter both showed smiling faces.
"Bao, you are here!" Quickly beckoned her to sit down beside her, Dugu Guifei looked her up and down, "You child, didn't I explain that I want to dress up a little bit today, why are you still dressed up like this? Young lady, look at how wasteful you are!"
"Yes, Sister Abao is so good-looking, if she dresses up, she will definitely be glamorous, so that all the little ladies here will lose their color. Princess Huayang also said, a pair of eyes kept looking at Bao, and she was reluctant to look away for a long time.
She was seriously ill before and almost couldn't be saved, but the sage invited Mu Jiaojiao to come and spent a day and a night pricking her with needles to save her before taking her life back from the hands of King Yama. Therefore, she is a little grateful to the people related to Mu Jiaojiao.
Especially the one in front of her, she was born so well, but her temperament was so indifferent and indifferent, which added a bit of mystery to her, and every time she saw it, it was amazing. Even if she knew that she was a little lady like herself, every time she saw her so hard and free manner, the little princess couldn't help but fantasize in her heart - how good would it be if she was a little Langjun? In that case, she must marry her, even if she looks at her face, she can live a lifetime!
Ah Bao just tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this: "I don't like it." β
Dugu Guifei didn't say anything.
"Well, if only you could come. Go ahead, walk around first, and if anyone likes it, talk to him a little longer. β
Bao should be, and turned to leave.
The back is as indifferent as herself, and at first glance she is a lonely person. Presumably, even if she came this time, she wouldn't be tempted by any Xiao Langjun, right? After all, she is even more handsome and upright than those Xiao Langjun, I am afraid that her appearance now will make Xiao Langjun ashamed of themselves!
Dugu Guifei suddenly began to regret it: she desperately invited her over, is this decision right or wrong?
Princess Huayang watched Bao's figure go away stupidly, and then reluctantly turned back to ask her mother: "A-Niang, A-Bao's sister was born so beautifully, what kind of Langjun do you say can be worthy of her?"
"This ...... I don't know. Dugu Guifei said in a low voice.
Now, she regrets it completely. In fact, Ah Bao really shouldn't have come, because she searched the little Langjun who came over today in her mind, and found that no one could be worthy of her!
Think about Po's talent and temperament, who can stand side by side with her without losing her style...... She couldn't imagine what it would look like.
She expected it to be good.
Po entered the Imperial Garden and walked straight to the depths of the flower garden.
Now there are quite a few people here. The newly dressed Xiao Langjun and the little ladies kept looking around under the banner of appreciating the flowers, searching for the little lady they liked. Once there is someone who looks at the right eye, everyone begins to watch the autumn waves, and the affection is lingering. In less than an hour, there are already several pairs of eyes on each other.
Still, it's more about casting a wide net.
The sun is shining, the spring is melting, and the flowers in the garden are dotted with bright boys and girls, such a picture is so beautiful that people's hearts are about to melt.
However, this beautiful picture was soon destroyed. Becauseβ
"Look, there's a star!"
A voice sounded suddenly, and it could exude such a strong chill in the warm sun, how could people not be afraid?
Everyone looked back and saw a figure in black clothes and black robes slowly walking towards this side.
As a result, the fear took on a wavy shape and quickly pushed out in all directions, causing almost everyone's face to be stained with fear. Everyone subconsciously began to retreat, hiding behind the lush vegetation and trees, and doing their best to reduce their sense of existence.
As the black figure approached, they quickly held their breath and closed their eyes, as if they would not be discovered by her.
As everyone knows, that figure just walked forward with Shi Shiran, and didn't turn his head to look at the side at all.
Even so, after the Great Demon King walked over, everyone still let out a sigh of relief, patting their chests and gladly escaping.
"Really, why did this evil star come? Didn't she go out at all before?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's just idle and has nothing to do, so she deliberately came out to scare us?"
"I think it's because she sees that she's not young, and she's starting to get anxious, so she plans to find a mother-in-law for herself quickly, right?"
"Is it possible? Who would want someone like her?"
"Actually, it's not necessarily! She is good-looking, noble, and has a close relationship with the family of the King of Hanyang. Even if it is for the sake of the face of the Hanyang Wang's family, there must be many families who are willing to marry the Hejian County Palace. Don't forget, she's the only granddaughter of the King of Hejian!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up, and then a sense of crisis rose in the hearts of the little ladies.
looked up at Xiao Langjun again, and when they found that Xiao Langjun looked at the big demon king with more fear in their eyes, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
And what happened in front of and behind him, Ah Bao didn't know anything.
All she wanted now was to find a quiet place to stay for a while, and then hurry home when the so-called flower-viewing feast was over.
"Aunt Bao!
As he was walking, he suddenly heard a warm call. Ah Bao turned around and saw two little ladies waving to her very happily.
These two people are none other than Ah Ping's little lady born to the eldest lady, and Ah Xuan's little lady born to the little lady. These two people are about the same age as her, and they happened to be brought over to the banquet today.
Po immediately walked towards them.
Ah Ping smiled and said, "I was just talking to Ah Xuan, will you come today, but you really came!
"Noisy. Po replied.
"Hahaha!" Ah Ping and Ah Xuan clutched their stomachs and laughed.
"I know! Aunt Bao, you will definitely say that! Actually, we think so too!"
The three little ladies talked and laughed together, then found a secluded place to sit down and spend time together. However, in fact, it was mainly Ah Ping and Ah Xuan who were chattering, and Ah Bao was only responsible for auditing.
Ah Ping and Ah Xuan already knew her temperament and did not force her to speak. The three of them don't get along very well together.
It's just that in this place where there are many people, there will always be one or two things that don't have long eyes that come out with bad people and good deeds.
Now, I saw a man coming to spoil the scenery.
"Haha, this brother is so blessed! He actually enjoys two little beauties by himself, hugging left and right, making the little brother so envious. Why don't you give a little beauty to your little brother?"
Hearing a string of pretended hearty laughter in their ears, the three of them looked back and saw a fat-headed and big-eared young man tightly wrapped in a gorgeous costume staggering towards him.
Originally, his eyes fell on the faces of Ah Ping and Ah Xuan. But when he saw Ah Bao's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't hold back and swallowed his saliva.
Then the smile on his face was even bigger, and he didn't even need to support him left and right, so he came to Ah Bao with fat and short legs, and looked at her greedily from head to toe with both eyes, during which he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and then bowed his hand and made a gesture that he thought was chic and uninhibited: "A certain is Li Yuan, the prince of Changsha, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?"
Ah Bao raised his eyebrows. "The prince of Changsha...... Presumably you've only just returned to Chang'an, right?"
"How do you know?" Li Yuan was stunned, and then overjoyed, "Could it be that you have been paying attention to me?"
"You're thinking too much. Ah Bao said coldly, "Unless it's a bun who has never been in Chang'an, no one will run to me to find a way to die like you." β
With that, she stood up: "This place is defiled, let's change places." β
Ah Ping and Ah Xuan quickly got up and followed her.
Seeing this, Li Yuan was furious.
"Insulted this son, do you still want to leave?" he scolded with a straight face, "Come on, surround them for me!"
The four guards he followed immediately took action and surrounded Ah Bao's three people.
Ah Bao went to the banquet alone today, and Ah Ping and Ah Xuan each brought two little girls, but they knew that Ah Bao liked to be quiet, so they had already sent the maids away. Who knew that such a person would suddenly pop up at this time, and put such a position on them!
The two little ladies were startled at first, and then their eyes began to shine. The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw schadenfreude in each other - finally another fool took the initiative to send it to the door, and now there is a good show!
On Queen Dugu's side, she soon received the news, and she was immediately furious: "Does he regard Chang'an City as his Changsha City?
Princess Huayang looked anxious. "Auntie, aren't we going to help Sister Bao?"
"She doesn't need help. Queen Dugu said, "On the contrary, the prince of Changsha will definitely not end well." β
Princess Huayang was still so anxious. "A-Niang, let's go and have a look! Sister Bao, she is a weak woman, where can she beat the prince of Changsha? Besides, the prince of Changsha still has four powerful little guys by his side, and Sister Baoa is not their opponent!"
"You kid...... Hey!" Dugu Guifei looked at her daughter, who rarely interacted with people because of her weak body, and finally sighed, "Okay, I'll take you to see her true skills." β
The mother and daughter Shi Shiran got up and strode towards the place where the accident occurred.
At this time, Li Yuan had already begun to issue verbal threats to Bao: "Whoever is your surname, report your name!"
"You don't need to know what my name is, you just need to know that I have the same surname as you. Po said lightly.
"You are also surnamed Li?" Li Yuan was slightly stunned, and then became even more proud, "It seems that you are also a clan." It's just that in the days since I came back to Chang'an, I have seen all the people in the sect who have a little head and face, but I have never seen you. β
If such a good-looking person was to befriend him in the first place, how could he delay until now? Therefore, this person must have no status in the clan! Since he has no status, it will be more convenient for him to start!
Li Yuan thought proudly in his heart, so he rubbed his hands obscenely. "Okay, for the sake of us all being the same ancestor, I won't worry about you about this matter, and I won't rob you of these two little ladies. Since we are brothers, let's go have a drink together! I know that there are several places in Chang'an City that are very good, such as the Peony House and Wei's Restaurant, which are all good places to eat and drink! I haven't finished eating the signature dishes there! You are also lucky to meet me, this time I will definitely let you taste what is the delicacy of the world!"
Hearing him boast about his grandfather and uncle's restaurant, the corners of Bao's mouth twitched. Ah Ping and Ah Xuan, who were hiding behind her, directly covered their lips and laughed.
Ah Bao also glanced at him meaningfully, then shook his head and said, "If you like to eat, you can eat more yourself, and I won't go." β
This seems to be a soft-hearted statement?
Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Hey, look at what you said! What does it mean for me to enjoy such a good meal alone? Good things are more delicious when they are shared with good friends! It's rare for you and me to hit it off at first sight, so let's not delay, you come with me quickly." Let's talk about it first, and then go to the Peony Building for dinner! Yes, this time we will go to the Peony first!"
First take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of him, and then go to the Peony Building to pour him a few glasses of wine, and get people drunk, so that it will be convenient for him to start! Li Yuan thought in his heart, so he swallowed his saliva again.
I really didn't expect that they all said that the Chudi woman was slender, but he never thought that there was such a stunning beauty in Chang'an City! When he came from afar, he also said that where did this kid get his good luck, how could he let two women who were so beautiful like flowers accompany him with one mind, and when he saw his face, he finally understood!
As long as he can get him, no matter how many flowers and plants there are in this world, he can't see it!
Thinking so, he even took the initiative to reach out and pull Ah Bao.
Ah Bao shook him off casually: "I said I won't go." β
"Brother, are you shy?Hey, it's all your own family, what's there to be shy?Come on, come on, come with Brother, Brother promise to let you experience what is called the most extreme enjoyment in the world!" Seeing that his pretty face was cold and his words were cold, but he had a little desire to conquer, Li Yuan's heart moved even more. That hand couldn't hold Bao's hand, and he actually began to grope for her. The more I touch it, the more comfortable I feel - sure enough, the beauty is beautiful all over her body, and it feels so comfortable to touch through the clothes, so do you have to take off your clothes?
"The ultimate enjoyment in the world?" Hearing this, a cold glint in Bao's eyes swept away, "I don't need you to give this feeling, I can give it to you now." β
"Really? Okay, give it to me, give it to me!" Li Yuan didn't know that death was coming, so he took the initiative to lean towards her.
Ah Bao raised his head, looked at Dugu Guifei and Princess Huayang, who had come to him, and returned his gaze to Li Yuan: "Are you sure you want it, don't regret it?"
"Of course, I don't regret it! Brother, give it to me quickly, I'll wait!" Li Yuan nodded again and again, and people were about to stick to her.
"Okay, you put your hand out. Bao said.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about hands, I can give you my whole body!" Li Yuan said eagerly, sending his hands in front of her eyes, and people continued to stick to her.
Po's eyes were cold, and he grabbed his wrist.
"Hey, what are you doingβah, why are you pinching me!"
Li Yuan was baffled by her movements. It's just that he is afraid of pain by nature, and the people around him feel uncomfortable when they touch him casually, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to pinch him, and he became angry. Just as he was about to have a seizure, his face suddenly changed, and his facial features were distorted.
"Ahhh
He screamed loudly, and then the whole person was twisted into a ball, rolling on the ground, the scream became more and more terrible, the chubby face had already turned purple, and blood was spilling from the corners of his mouth and nostrils.
When the other boys and girls saw this scene from afar, they were all so frightened that they almost lost their souls, and the memories of being frightened by Po came back to their minds. Those who had experienced such pain trembled even more, as if the painful feeling had begun to rise in their bodies again.
Princess Huayang was also shocked when she saw this scene.
"A-Niang, A-Bao, sister, what did she do to the prince of Changsha, why did he suddenly do this?"
"Have you forgotten? Her stepmother is the old princess of Hanyang. Dugu Guifei only said.
Princess Huayang immediately realized. "The old princess of Hanyang has excellent medical skills, and Sister A Bao is said to have her true inheritance. Then, it is only natural for her to use medical skills to teach this prince of Changsha who does not know the height of the sky. Merely...... Isn't she a little too powerful?"
"It's just to make people eat a little pain, how powerful can it be?" Dugu Guifei said lightly, "She has her own measure." β
"Oh. Princess Huayang nodded hurriedly, "What A-Niang said is that Sister Abao is the granddaughter of the King of Hejian County and the righteous daughter of the divine doctor's lady, she must be measured in her actions, so we don't have to worry." β
"You don't have to worry about it. Dugu Guifei said.
Princess Huayang stuck out her tongue and lowered her head and smirked.
While the mother and daughter were talking, the four little girls saw that their Langjun was put down, and they all immediately showed a fierce look, rolled up their sleeves and shouted to teach Ah Bao a lesson. It's a pity that before they could touch Ah Bao's sleeve, this one by one also fell, and they rolled on the ground with their master and wailed.
As for Ah Bao, she patted the dust on her sleeves and came to Dugu Guifei's mother and daughter lightly: "Today's occasion doesn't seem to be suitable for me, so I'll leave first." β
Dugu Guifei nodded, but still looked at the prince of Changsha worriedly: "How are they?"
"It's okay, it will hurt for an hour. β
"Hmm. Dugu Guifei was completely relieved, and took the initiative to release a light smile to her, "Okay, you go back! β
Ah Bao bowed his head, and Shi Shiran bowed and retreated.
Seeing this, Ah Ping and Ah Xuan also hurriedly saluted Dugu Guifei, and retreated with Ah Bao.
When the three of them left the palace, the two little ladies covered their stomachs and laughed.
"Changsha Wang Shizi, this dumpling, doesn't he know that the signature dishes in the Peony House and Wei's Restaurant are actually tired of eating at home, so he sent them out to sell in the restaurant?
Ah Xuan couldn't help nodding. "Didn't he inquire about who could mess with him here and who couldn't be messed with here before he came to Chang'an? Aunt Bao, you are the big devil in everyone's eyes, and those people took the initiative to give way to you when they saw you today, this momentum, how domineering, I like to go out with you the most!"
Bao supports his forehead. "Your father and mother are going to blame me again when they hear this. β
"No, Daddy and Auntie obviously asked us to walk around with you more, and it is best to learn a few skills from you, so that even if you marry into your in-law's family in the future, you will not be afraid of being bullied by your husband!" Ah Ping said in a low voice.
Ah Xuan nodded repeatedly.
The corners of Po's mouth twitched again, and she stopped talking.
It's noisy. The lord of Yuhua County, the lord of Yuhua County
That's the only thing on her mind right now. Although she had only been away from home for two hours, she had already begun to miss that place.
Such a quiet home, her grandfather won't disturb her if she has nothing to do, and the girls are all quiet, even the person is as quiet as a puppet, and he will never make a sound unless he is called by himself. Well, he's been gone for more than a month, and it's quieter at home.
She felt that she was better suited to be alone.
Although she was younger than the two young ladies, as an aunt, Bao dutifully sent them home, and then asked the coachman to turn his horse's head and return to the palace of Hejian County.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace and was about to enter, the coachman suddenly tightened the reins.
"County Lord......"
Po lifted the curtain and saw a tall, thin man with beautiful eyebrows standing next to the car.
Eye-to-eye with her, the man smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm back." β
