"The folk girl knows that the princess is not used to eating Mobei's food, so she specially boiled a bowl of lotus seed soup for you. ”

In the tent, Pan Yuyin brought a bowl of steaming lotus seed soup to Zhao Xin, but she seemed to have lost her appetite, just took a perfunctory sip, and refused to eat more.

"Princess ......"

"How do you know that I like lotus seed soup?" Before Pan Yuyin could persuade her, Zhao Xin was already suspicious and said quietly, "Could it be ...... What did Lord Liu tell you?"

"This ......" was broken by Zhao Xindao, Pan Yuyin's face couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment, and he twisted, "Don't blame the princess, this is the camp of the Mongolian prince, not as good as the inn that came all the way, so Brother Liu can't take care of the princess as he wants, so he can only borrow the ......hands of the people's daughters."

"Silly girl, Master Liu and I have already 'agreed on the three chapters of the law', how can I blame him for not coming to see me?"

Although Zhao Xin's attitude was plain when she mentioned Liu Xunyi, she didn't know why? When she heard Pan Yuyin admit that this bowl of lotus seed soup was Liu Xunyi's "masterpiece", she subconsciously took the porridge bowl and slowly enjoyed it one bite after another.

"At present, we are controlled by others, and a lot of news cannot be transmitted in time, so it is inevitable that you will have to make a few more trips. ”

"Princess, don't meet the people's daughter, I can't help me all the way, I can only watch you and Brother Liu sad and helpless. Now I can help you deliver the news, and it is not in vain. ”

"Yuyin, you are really a good-hearted girl, not only knowledgeable, but also delicate and intelligent, looking for clothes...... Lord Liu can marry you, which is really a blessing that he cultivated in his previous life. ”

Hearing this, Pan Yuyin's face flushed with a touch of crimson, and he hurriedly defended: "I and Brother Liu are just acting on the spot, but in fact, we have nothing to do with ......."

"Okay, good!" Zhao Xinwan smiled, stretched out her hand and gently touched the tip of Pan Yuyin's nose, and teased, "You have nothing to do with it, I will inevitably make it difficult for you to take care of him, and let Miss Pan be wronged......"

"Where is it difficult for a strong man? The people have never felt wronged......

As for this, Pan Yuyin suddenly realized that he was in a hurry and almost lost his words, his voice stopped abruptly, and his handsome face was as red as a ripe apple, and he just couldn't take a bite.

Seeing Pan Yuyin's cute appearance that was both shy and angry, Zhao Xin couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.

It was rare to see Zhao Xin's smile, Pan Yuyin was stunned for a moment, so she was relieved and laughed with her.

The two daughters laughed and laughed in the tent, and the melodious sound was as crisp as a silver bell, which made the guards outside the tent confused and looked at each other.

"What makes you so happy?

Just when Zhao Xin and Pan Yuyin gradually forgot their worries and talked happily with each other, a rich and slightly playful voice suddenly sounded from outside the tent, and then the curtain of the tent was opened, and the smiling Hu Lie slowly walked into the tent accompanied by Yin Zhan.

In the face of the sudden suddenness, the conversation and laughter between Zhao Xin and Pan Yuyin stopped instantly, and even the smile on their faces gradually dissipated, replaced by a strong sense of caution.

"What? Is it because this king has come at the wrong time to disturb the interest of the two of you?" asked Su Lie in a matter-of-tentative manner, and there was even a hint of guilt in his eyes full of curiosity.

"I've seen the prince!"

Zhao Xin and Pan Yuyin, who had suddenly woken up, hurriedly got up and bowed to Hu Lie together.

"It is this king who has come uninvited, and I am the one who should make amends for my sins. After saying that, Hu Lie bowed to the second daughter who was full of astonishment in a serious manner.

"Lord Wang's gift, we can't afford it!" In the face of Su Lie's unexpected humility, Zhao Xin couldn't help but be confused, and hurriedly opened his mouth to dissuade him.

"Ahem!" After greeting each other, Yin Zhan coughed lightly twice, and interjected, "The prince has something to talk to the princess, and Miss Pan is annoying to avoid ...... for the time being."

"Don't be rude!" Yin Zhan's voice didn't fall, and suddenly broke off, "Miss Pan is a friend of the concubine, that is, a friend of this king, how can you not be big or small?"

"The last will be convicted!"

"That...... It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. Pan Yuyin judged the situation and took the initiative to resign, "Prince, princess, you talk slowly, and the people will retire first!"

After saying that, Pan Yuyin, who was full of worry, took a deep look at the anxious Zhao Xin, and then slowly withdrew from the big tent accompanied by Yin Zhan.

After a while, only Hu Lie with an inexplicable expression and Zhao Xin with no owner of the six gods were left in the tent, and the two were silent, and the atmosphere became a little delicate.

It is worth mentioning that from the time Hu Lie entered the big tent to the present, his intriguing eyes have been staring at Zhao Xin, and he has never moved half a minute.

"Concubine......

When Hu Lie subconsciously approached Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin's body trembled in fright, and her feet involuntarily staggered back two steps.

Seeing this, Hu Lie's foot, which had just taken half a step, froze for a moment, and then slowly retreated.

"Are you afraid of me?" Hu Lie's eyes were very soft, and his voice was as warm as water, "Why?"

"The prince laughed, I ...... Why are you afraid of you?" Zhao Xin knew how respectful Hu Lie's status in Mongolia was, and she knew that her mission was to win over and please Hu Lie, so although she was very jealous of Hu Lie in her heart, she would rather die than admit it.

"If you're not afraid of me, why don't you dare to look this king in the eye?"

"I ......" Zhao Xin subconsciously raised her eyes, but when she saw the phoenix eyes that were bursting with Su Lie's fine light, she suddenly panicked, and hurriedly moved her gaze away in a hurry, and said vaguely, "I...... I just ......"

"This king can tell you plainly that before I met you, I thought this peace affair was just a conspiracy, and you ...... It's just a sacrifice paid by the Great Song Dynasty for self-preservation. Hu Lie said bluntly, word for word, "But after I saw you today, my mind changed." You are not a tribute, but the king's concubine, a woman who belongs only to me for the rest of my life. ”

"The prince said this...... What do you mean?" At this moment, Zhao Xin's hands shrunk in his sleeves couldn't help but clench his fists, and his palms were overflowing with sweat.

"It means that the king is very fond of you, from the first time I saw you...... and they recognized thee. "Hu Lie's laughter is hearty, straight to the chest, this is the Mongolian man's unique open-mindedness and heroism, "In our grassland, the relationship between men and women does not need so many twists and turns, and it is not like you Central Plains people twisting and pinching, everything talks about a 'long-term love'." For Ben King, women are not so troublesome. Just one glance, like is like, dislike is dislike. ”

"This ......" Zhao Xin had never seen a man like Hu Lie in her life, and she was so confused for a while that she was speechless.

"Since this king has identified you, then you are my woman in this life, even if the king of heaven comes, I don't want to snatch you away from me. Hu Lie's words were sincere and endless, not giving Zhao Xin a chance to think at all, "In the same way, if this king believes that you, he will cherish you, be considerate of you, and care for you for the rest of his life, and will never let people bully you, let alone let you suffer the slightest grievance." The words 'the sky is long' and 'the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten' are too numb for this king to say. But at least for this lifetime...... This king swears to recognize you only as my woman, and although I am not the only woman, I am the only woman who is placed here. ”

After saying that, he suddenly swung his fist into his heart and slammed it hard, and there was a muffled sound that made Zhao Xin's body tremble again.

In the face of such an outspoken and strong confession, Zhao Xin was both surprised and stunned, panicked and dazed, hesitant and worried.

"Lord, you ......"

"Does this king know what you're worried about?" Hu Lie pretended to look up to the sky and laughed, turned to sit at the table, poured himself two glasses of milk wine, took one of them and drank it all, and said firmly, "This king is a hero of the steppe, a Mongolian royal family, a man who stands up to the sky, not the king of the cottage you imagined, let alone a robber and bandit." The woman in the world who wants to marry me is enough to crowd the entire Horqin grassland, and I want to get a woman without using the kind of despicable means you fear. This king recognizes you as my only woman, and first of all he will give you respect. In the same way, you have to recognize me as your only man. Therefore, before he can get your man, this king must first get your heart. I will never allow a woman who shares my bed...... Thinking about other men. Betrayal is not only a great shame for this king, but also a great humiliation for any warrior on the grassland. ”

Looking at the sworn swear and hearing his conclusive promise, Zhao Xin's high heart unconsciously became much more steady.

Although today was the first time they had met, for some reason, Zhao Xin believed in the promise made by Hu Lie very much, and there was no reason to believe it.

Perhaps, as Hu Lie said, he is a hero of the steppe, a Mongolian royal family, and a man who stands up to the sky...... Yes, a man who stands up to the sky and the earth must be foaming at the mouth and spitting a nail, how can he be two-faced and three-faced, and the yang will serve the yin and disobey?

"The prince understands the righteousness, I ...... A toast to you. ”

Zhao Xinyingying, who was relieved, bowed, and then mustered up the courage to take two steps closer to Hu Lie. Seeing that Hu Lie's expression was frank and there was no malice, Zhao Xin was a little bolder, and sat down opposite him cautiously, trembling and holding up the milk wine, wanting to follow his example and drink it all.

"Ai Concubine, this king is willing to be honest with you, but I don't know...... Are you willing to confide in this king?"

Before Zhao Xin could raise his glass, Hu Lie suddenly changed his words, and a sudden question made Zhao Xin's movements stiffen, and a touch of ominous premonition quickly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Lord Wang...... What do you want to say?"

"This king has studied the Confucian classics of your Han people, and admires and agrees with most of them, except for the 'mean'...... I don't like it very much. "Especially in the interaction between people, the golden mean will only make people's hearts more and more complicated, more and more unpredictable, more and more suspicious, far less straightforward and more sincere than our Mongolians." This king doesn't like to go around in circles, and he doesn't have to hide the woman he likes. Therefore, this king has three questions today, and I hope that the concubine can answer truthfully. ”

Zhao Xin was uneasy, her big watery eyes were full of apprehension, and she said cautiously: "Lord Wang, please ask." ”

"First, are Concubine Ai and 'Great Song Dynasty and Personal Envoy' Liu Xunyi childhood sweethearts and mutual affection? Second, did Concubine Ai collude with Su He to save Liu Xunyi's life and strongly recommend him to serve as ...... Great Song Dynasty and personal envoy'?"

As for this, the sudden tone of the fierce tone suddenly froze, and a complex entanglement flashed in his eyes, and he hesitated again and again before he spoke with difficulty word by word: "Third, has Concubine Ai ever done anything with Liu Xunyi? In other words, you are ...... now Or is it not innocent?"

asked three questions in a row, like ten thousand arrows piercing her heart, which made Zhao Xin's heart sink, her face changed suddenly, her five fingers subconsciously loosened, and a full glass of milk wine fell to the ground with a "bang".

In an instant, the jade cup was shattered, and the aroma of wine overflowed, lingering between Hu Lie and Zhao Xin, and gradually diffused to the entire big tent.

......
