After the palace was sage, Long Shaoyang and Xiao Di returned to their homes by car.

Along the way, Long Shaoyang hesitated several times, but decided to swallow the matter of Mrs. Xiao's gift of clothes, and he only felt that he couldn't explain the reason. Back at Xiao Mansion, the two of them who finally breathed a sigh of relief felt physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and their bodies seemed to fall apart. Although the words that Zhu Yunque said when he said goodbye to Mrs. Hou had a deep meaning, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief after passing the hurdle in front of the killing of Xiliang's envoys.

Long Shaoyang followed up with Xiao Di and Cheng Bo to discuss it, and decided to use the old recipe - hang the war-free card, first, to converge and converge the edge, second, to see the reactions of all forces, and third, to loosen and loosen his body, and immediately took a leave of absence to the prince Xiao Minglong on the grounds of "recalling the past and being uneasy".

Xiao Minglong immediately sent a message from the chamberlain, saying, "The secret of private affairs is suddenly revealed in the court, and the heart is turbulent, and the common feelings of people must not be fettered by this." I hope to calm down as soon as possible and contribute to the imperial court." Long Shaoyang sent the chamberlain away, turned to Cheng Bo and smiled slyly: "Uncle Cheng, if someone comes to me these days, they will say that I am sick, and no one will see me." Then he turned and went.

After a few days of being idle like this, only a servant from Liuxiang Palace sent a sword, saying that it was Wei Guifei who specially confessed, since ancient times, the sword has been matched with a hero, and the meaning of harmony is obvious. Long Shaoyang and Cheng Bo smiled at each other and sent the waiter out of the garden. Other than that, there wasn't much to disturb.

On this day, Long Shaoyang sat alone in the cloud pavilion to enjoy the coolness, raised his eyes, only to see the courtyard is lush and green, flowers are blooming, although the scale is smaller than the manor of King Teng, but it is also distinctive, and his mind can't help but be refreshed, so he pulled out the jasper flute from behind him, put it to his mouth, and blew it gently, and a stream of music slowly flowed out.

Before the song stopped, I saw a flash of red shirts on the courtyard wall at the gate of the garden in the distance, and a person jumped to the ground, then stood up, and walked towards the pavilion.

But seeing him dressed as a redwood and looking handsome, it was Zhu Xibing, the Miss Zhu family.

Long Shaoyang saw Zhu Xibing suddenly enter over the wall, he was surprised and at a loss, and a little happy, thinking in his heart, but the sound of the flute in his mouth did not stop.

Zhu Xibing walked up to the pavilion slowly, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Brother Long, I have come to Xiao Mansion to look for you several times recently, and I have heard that you are sick and have been recuperating in pranayama. I can't imagine that you are here today, you are really elegant! However, looking at your complexion today, you look like you are nothing. ”

Long Shaoyang listened to her sarcastic words, stopped the flute immediately, turned around, and said with a smile: "Miss Lao Zhu is thinking about it! The doctor has already seen it, and it is not a big deal, but it is only said that it is a deficiency of qi and blood, and I think it is because I worked too hard a while ago." He casually made up a cover to try to cover it up.

"Oh, it turned out to be hard work?" Zhu Xibing stopped his steps, stared at Long Shaoyang, and sneered, "It's no wonder that a beautiful woman like Wei Guifei, who is beautiful and fragrant, which man is not haunted and fascinated after seeing it?"

Long Shaoyang sighed and said, "I wish the girl is really good at laughing." After that, he turned around, looked at the pool of clear water by the pavilion, and said no more.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Xibing seemed to be preoccupied, couldn't help but wonder, and hurriedly said: "I was joking with you on purpose just now, don't take it seriously." ”

Long Shaoyang chuckled lightly and did not answer.

Zhu Xibing said: "If a person has been nesting in this garden for a long time, even if he is fine, he will be sick." Brother Long, I see that you are no longer in serious trouble, why don't you accompany you to the outside of the city tomorrow?

"When I'm ready, I'm going to be on duty in the East Palace!"

"What's the difficulty in this matter?!, over there in the East Palace, I will go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and take leave on your behalf. ”

"Hey, I forgot about it for a while. Tomorrow, I have promised Brother Xiao to accompany him to the east of the city. ”

"Where are you going to go to the east of the city?"

"Tuolong Mountain. ”

"What are you going to do there?"

"I can't tell you. ”

......

After Long Shaoyang said this, he felt a violent beat in his chest, and his heart seemed to be about to beat out. Somehow, there was an indescribable discomfort in my heart, and I was very hopeful that the person behind me would be able to catch this sentence, but after half a ring, no one answered, only heard the wind blowing the leaves in my ears, and the insects chirping in the shallow grass.

He didn't dare to turn back, for fear that the pear blossoms would bring rain, so he couldn't bear it.

After a long time, Long Shaoyang sighed and said, "Miss Zhu, come and take a look at the goldfish in the pond under this pavilion, and you will understand everything." ”

Zhu Xibing came with joy, and invited her with kind words, but she was rejected for no reason, and at this moment she seemed to can't believe her ears, and looked at Long Shaoyang in a daze. At this time, I heard him speak, and then I came back to my senses, was stunned for a moment, moved to the railing, and looked down.

I saw a pond in front of the pavilion, the microwave in the pond, a group of goldfish near the rockery, some goldfish, some white, some ink...... Mixed together, swimming around, leisurely - compared with other goldfish, there is nothing special, I was wondering, only to hear Long Shaoyang said: "Zhu girl, you are from a famous family, you are well-informed, what kind of goldfish do you see in the water, the whole body is black, the eyes are like beads, what kind of species?"

"Ink Dragon's Eye. ”

"Hmm. What kind of breed do you think of that short, fat one with a fat sarcoma on the top of its head?"

"Lion's head. ”

"Hmm. What about that one, the eyeballs bulged out, and the tail fin stretched out like four leaves?" Long Shaoyang asked again.

"Butterfly tail. Zhu Xibing glanced at Long Shaoyang suspiciously, and was about to ask, but heard Long Shaoyang say again: "These goldfish are all precious species, and Miss Zhu naturally recognizes them." If this fish is not a famous product, but a nameless small fish swimming alone among the rocks and at the bottom of the grass, its appearance is not good, I am afraid that the girl may not recognize it. ”

"Of course. There are many kinds of fish, and there are different kinds of noble species, where can you recognize each one-" Zhu Xibing suddenly stopped when he said this, and seemed to understand the meaning of Long Shaoyang's words for a moment, turned to Long Shaoyang and said, "You-"

Long Shaoyang smiled faintly, with a little sadness, and said: "In Long's opinion, Miss Zhu is the famous and noble species, and Long is the little fish whose appearance is not good-looking and nameless, and these two types of fish can't swim together......

Zhu Xibing already knew about Moyu Xuanwu at this time, he was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Long, is it because of what Old Madam Hou said...... That thing?"

Long Shaoyang said: "Yes, not all. ”

"That's your reason?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Zhu Xibing refused to give up and asked, "Do you really think so?"

Long Shaoyang didn't look away, looked out of the pavilion, and nodded silently.

After half a ring, I only heard Zhu Xibing sneer, "What a mediocre opinion!" suddenly paused, turned around and walked out of the pavilion quickly.

Long Shaoyang could hear the footsteps far away, but he was still standing there in a daze. After a long time, he sighed and turned around, only to see the old servant Cheng Bo standing under a crimson crape myrtle tree in front of the Cloud Stopping Pavilion, looking at himself with a smile.

Zhu Xi Bing walked away with his legs in a sigh, walked towards the garden gate, and was about to go over the wall, but saw a squeak, and at the opening of the garden gate, a young man with a round face leaned in, holding a key in his hand, it was Xiao Yuanying, the king of Teng.

Xiao Yuanying raised his feet and was just about to enter, when he saw Zhu Xibing coming quickly, he was suddenly startled, and shouted: "Hey, Miss Zhu, why are you here? Hey, this door is obviously locked, how did you get in?" He was surprised and happy, and Zhang Huangjian asked a few questions in a row.

"You don't care how I got in!" this girl flew in!" Zhu Xibing said angrily.

Xiao Yuanying opened her mouth and said, "Flying in?!How did you fly in, I wish the girl is really joking." ”

"Why can't you fly in?! This girl is as light as a swallow, how can you be as round as a pig! Get out of the way!"

"You, you...... Who provoked you? Speak up, and the king will be angry for you. ”

"It doesn't matter what you're doing!" Zhu Xibing said, but his feet didn't stop, and he walked quickly past Xiao Yuanying.

Xiao Yuanying blinked suspiciously, seeing that she was about to go out, she suddenly came back to her senses and shouted, "Miss Zhu, what about the ancient book sheet music that this king lent you last time?"

"It's burned!" Zhu Xibing replied, and before the words fell, the person had already left the garden gate.

"Ah, ah, burned?!No, that's the treasure that this king bought for three thousand taels ......of silver, the only one in the world, you actually burned it" Xiao Yuanying turned around and wanted to chase after her, and immediately thought: This girl is eccentric, she must have deliberately made up this kind of lie to trick me, hehe, I don't fall for her. At the moment, when he calmed down and looked out, he saw Long Shaoyang and Cheng Bo strolling next to the Cloud Stopping Pavilion in the distance, so he shouted loudly: "Shaoyang, Shaoyang, I'm coming!"

Long and Cheng followed the sound and looked at each other, and saw Teng King Xiao Yuanying running over and glanced at each other.

Long Shaoyang asked with a smile: "When did Your Highness also learn the Cloud Ladder? ”

Xiao Yuanying Nunu mouthed and said: "How can this little thing stump this king? Haha, although this king is not good at martial arts, but this head is well understood." Look—" said as he stretched out his palm, with a key in his hand, "This king just got it from Madame Xiao." Ha ha. ”

The words amused both Long and Cheng.

Long Shaoyang said with a smile: "Your Highness, this door lock is not designed for Your Highness, how can you keep Your Highness out of the garden?!"

Xiao Yuanying pouted and said, "Yo, come on, Shaoyang." You locked the door and turned others out of the garden, but locked the young lady of the Zhu family in the garden, you are clearly that ...... That's, by the way, the golden house is here. ”

Cheng Bo heard Xiao Yuanying mention Zhu Xibing on the side, his heart moved, and he peeked at Long Shaoyang, only to see that his face was bitter, as if he was holding a bitter olive, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness misunderstood, Miss Zhu also just came, and today is the first time." ”

"Oh. Xiao Yuanying nodded in disbelief, and said, "That's right, Shaoyang, I was just at the gate of the garden, and I saw Miss Zhu's angry face, what's the matter? You provoked her? This Zhu Xibing's name is like a piece of ice, but this person is a fire." You provoke her today, and you'll be good-looking tomorrow......"

He babbled and talked to himself. Long Shaoyang didn't answer, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, what kind of wind blew you here today?"

"Look at me, I've forgotten what I'm doing. Xiao Yuanying patted his head and said suddenly, "Young master, I returned to Los Angeles last night, and I heard that the envoy of Xiliang was killed, you were wronged, hurry over to see you." At this moment, I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound. ”

"Let Your Highness worry! Relying on His Majesty's holy candlelight, I have returned my innocence. Long Shaoyang didn't want to elaborate on the reason, so he just brushed it over and changed the subject: "Your Highness, I see that you are in a good mood today, but what did you hear?"

"Haha, I really can't hide anything from you. But speaking of which, it's not about me, it's about you. Xiao Yuanying said with a smile.

Long Shaoyang said strangely: "Something to do with me?"

Xiao Yuanying said: "Yes." The Xiliang envoy came this time to ask for a kiss, although the envoy died two, but this thing is not dead. I just got a letter from the inner court, and His Majesty has selected the Cheng'an County Lord of the Fu Wangye family as the candidate for the princess of Xiliang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally escort the wedding party to Xiliang. ”

"Oh, the prince himself is going, and who else is going with him?"

"I heard that there are still you and quiet thoughts. One is two deputies, the prince is the main envoy, and you and Jing Si are the deputy envoys. ”

"Huh?!hmm...... When will you leave?"

"It is said that on the eighth day of the first month of this month, it is an auspicious day for the Qintian supervision. ”

"Oh, three days later. Long Shaoyangchen pondered for a while, suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at the northwest, and muttered, "Look northwest, shoot the wolf?"
