Chapter 87, Princess Lingyu

On the day of the emperor's wedding, an "uninvited guest" flew in the Xingqing Palace, and when the two sides were tense, a woman suddenly shouted outside the palace gate: "Stop!"

Li Xi hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for all the archers to retreat.

The woman was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dignified and beautiful, and had a young child in her arms. She hurried to the outside of the Zichen Palace, facing Li Ci and shouting, "Starling, what are you doing here?!"

"Seventeenth sister, is that you?" Li Ci also walked quickly in front of the woman and said in surprise.

The person who came was Li Qi, who was named Princess Lingyu by the former emperor, and among Li Chongsheng's many children, she ranked seventeenth, and she is also the sister of the current emperor Li Ci. At this time, Li Qi was closely followed by four middle-aged men with strong figures, who were the four generals of Murong Mansion, Dongshan, Beiling, Xichuan and Nanyuan.

The brother and sister saw each other at this moment, but they were not very happy, Li Qi blamed them instead: "Starling brother, how can you bully people like this! Sister Murong already has a sweetheart, and you still have to force her to enter the palace." Brother Huan took her home, and you actually sent troops to stop her! If you do this, where do you still have the slightest appearance of a 'benevolent monarch'? Are you worthy of your father's cultivation and trust?"

Li Qi's total number of her brother is really unclear. Just because after Li Ci succeeded to the throne, he always prided himself as a 'benevolent monarch', and everywhere took the Kangyuan prosperous era created by the former emperor as a model. At this time, Li Qi actually said that he did not have the appearance of a benevolent monarch, which to others, was a crime of bullying the king. The ministers saw that a seventeenth princess suddenly came outside the Zichen Palace, and her words were so lazy and rushing, they couldn't help but look at each other for a while, and they were stunned on the spot.

"Seventeenth sister, you have wronged your starling, how can I bully others! Today, your starling's good wedding is a good wedding, but you are the ......" Li Xi pointed to Murong Huan, who was standing proudly in front of him, and said embarrassedly.

When he saw Li Qi and Murong Huan together, his expression was quite intimate, and he had already guessed a ** point in his heart. Later, when Li Qi called Murong Huan "Brother Huan" and held a young child in his arms, he decided that the two must have become a husband and wife. He suddenly rejoiced in his heart, and said in his heart, even if I lost an eldest brother, but added a good brother-in-law, this transaction would not be a blood loss......

"Starling, I'm here to introduce you, Brother Huan must have known you, he is now my husband......" Li Qi pulled Murong Huan forward, wanting him to give Li Ci a salute, but unexpectedly, Murong Huan still held his head high, stood with his hands in his hands, and his posture was immovable, only a calm face, which eased slightly.

Li Ci smiled awkwardly and said kindly: "It turns out that the famous Murong City Lord is actually my own brother-in-law! Isn't this the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family? Then this child must be ......?"

Li Qi hurriedly said: "This is my child and Brother Huan', named 'Murong Bai', he spoke out in Yanzhou, he is four years old this year!" After that, she put the child in her arms on the ground and ordered: "Xiaobai, hurry! This is your eighth uncle, called 'uncle'!"

"Good boy, my good nephew, come to my uncle's arms!" Li Xi opened his arms to the child and smiled.

The kid ignored Li Ci and ran into Murong Huan's arms, and said coquettishly: "Dad, I don't like the chaos here! Let's go home quickly! I'm going to see our Tianbao Pavilion!"

"Okay, Xiaobai, dad will take you home!Come, call Auntie!" Murong Huan handed Murong Bai in his arms into Murong Yan's arms again.

"Hello Auntie!...... My aunt is so good-looking! more beautiful than my mother...... It's just as good-looking!" Murong Bai hugged his aunt's neck and called affectionately.

"You little poor mouth, why is your mouth so sweet!" Murong Yan saw the second brother coming, and a stone in her heart had been put down, and when she saw that the second brother had not seen her for many years, she had already embraced his wife and gave birth to such a lovely and well-behaved son, and her heart was even more happy......

Li Qi walked to Murong Yan's approach, and the two greeted each other, one was busy calling "sister", and the other hurried back to "sister-in-law".

The four generals below, including Dongshan and Beiling, also stepped forward to greet Murong Yan one by one.

Emperor Li Ci's mind was racing at this moment, and he immediately changed his mind. He said in his heart that I originally wanted to marry the Murong family through a big marriage, and the two families relied on each other, with Murong Huan as a big backer, why worry about the country being unstable? Since he had already married my own sister, why should I cause unnecessary trouble?

Li Ci immediately greeted with a smile: "This ...... Seventeenth sister, and brother-in-law...... Your family has come from afar, and I have never greeted you in person, and I feel sorry in my heart. Since you have all arrived in my Xingqing Palace today, then please sit inside! I will hold a big banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for you!"

The emperor then gestured to Shen Huan's eyes, and Shen Huan seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time. He understood and immediately waved his hand at the guards under him, and the two hundred guards all dispersed like a cloud blown by the wind. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also knew the emperor's thoughts at this time, and they all showed warm and warm smiles. The Xingqing Palace has returned to a peaceful and festive color......

Li Qi grinned and asked Li Ci, "Brother Starling, then my sister Murong, ...... you Aren't you married?"

Li Ci sneered and said: "If you don't marry, you won't marry! Since Miss Murong already has a crush in her heart, maybe there was a misunderstanding in the middle before, and I am also a little anxious! Right now, there is nothing like you and my brother and sister recognizing each other, and our family reunion is more enjoyable! Seventeenth sister, come in with your brother-in-law, our brother and sister are going to have a drink today!"

Li Ci turned around and instructed the ministers: "My seventeenth sister has returned to Chang'an, this is a great joy for me?......! Jinhua, order the court band to play music, and I want to drink a thousand cups with the ministers of civil and military affairs and the people of Chang'an to celebrate the return of the seventeenth sister's family to Beijing and reunite with me!"

At that moment, led by the eldest grandson, dozens of courtiers all stepped forward and bowed to Li Qi and said, "The ministers have seen Princess Lingyu! Congratulations to the princess and her family on returning to Beijing for reunion!"

Li Qi has lived in the rivers and lakes for many years, and for a time he was not very suitable for the etiquette of the court. Seeing this, she hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Okay, good, you don't have to be polite, thanks to you for assisting my starling brother all these years, speaking of which, I also want to thank everyone!"

The eldest grandson stepped forward, leaned over and said, "Princess Lingyu is serious, assisting the Holy Lord and reviving the great cadres is within my responsibility." If the first emperor is still here, I don't know how happy I will be to see the princess return safely......

Seeing that the eldest grandson Shunde spoke earnestly and talked about the emotion, there were hidden tears in his eyes, and Li Qi couldn't help but be moved. If she guessed correctly, the eldest grandson in front of her is at least eighty years old, he has been diligent and diligent all his life, and he has been highly respected and extremely popular in the two dynasties.

Li Qi hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the eldest grandson Shunde, and said warmly: "Prime Minister, please get up, these years, let the Prime Minister bother!"

Song Jinhua, who was standing on the side of the prime minister, immediately stepped forward and invited: "Princess Lingyu, please inside! Murong City Lord, please!"

......

It was still a tense situation just now, because of the timely arrival of the seventeenth princess Li Qi, it was finally completely resolved. At this time, the two sides have become close to each other like family, and the originally prepared "banquet for the emperor's wedding ceremony" has also been changed to "a banquet to welcome Princess Lingyu's family back to Beijing for reunion" under Li Xi's inspiration.

Li Qi asked Murong Huan softly, "Brother Huan, since the starling brother has a good intention, do we want to go in and have two drinks with my starling brother?"

Murong Huan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Today, I'm not in the mood!" After speaking, he took Murong Yan's hand next to him, turned around, and walked outside the palace gate.

Li Qi had no choice but to arch his hand towards Li Ci and them, and smiled embarrassedly: "Starling, let's go back to Beijing from afar, I'm really tired." Brother Huan and I want to go back to Tianbao Pavilion first, and when we are settled, we will come to the palace to see you on another day......! I'm sorry!"

Li Ci had no choice but to return the salute with a fist, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys are tired all the way, and the seventeenth sister must be tired." Hurry back to your home and rest, what do you need in the future...... Just mention it to Starling!"

......

Under the embarrassed and blank gaze of Li Ci and more than 30 courtiers, Murong Huan carried his only son on his back, strode proudly, as if entering a no-man's land, and led his family to walk outside the palace gate.

Murong Yan thought of Xu Ke, who was still being imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and hurriedly took a few steps and whispered a few words in her second brother's ear. But seeing Murong Huan wave his hand, he said: "Third sister, don't worry, since I am here, they will never dare to embarrass the disease-free, and within three hours, your disease-free brother will be able to return home!"

Seeing that Murong Huan said so surely, Murong Yan's uneasy heart began to settle. Everyone followed Murong Huan and calmly left the palace.

After walking a few steps out of the gate of Xingqing Palace, Li Qi touched Murong Huan's arm and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Huan, starling is now my son of heaven after all." Today, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, you don't give him face, right?"

Murong Huan shook his head suddenly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Qi, just now Li Ci wanted to call me 'eldest brother', but I refused. But I suddenly remembered that in terms of seniority, I had to call him 'Uncle'!"

Li Qi chuckled: "Who told you not to agree just now! It's good now, but in the end, it's still the dwarf's head, right? Brother Huan, you also have a miscalculation!"

Murong Huan stared at his wife, and the expression on his face suddenly became like a spring breeze and rain, only to hear him smile and smile:

"Forget it! Let him Li Xi pick up this cheap! Who called him such a beautiful and smart and well-behaved good sister!"

Murong Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Second brother, if you want to be the emperor's 'eldest brother', I won't agree!"

Murong Huan looked at his sister again, pretending to be aggrieved and said, "Good sister, for your sake, I will have to change my words in the future and call him 'uncle'!"

Murong Yan smiled: "What do you mean by 'for me', you are not for my sister-in-law Lingyu!"

......

The family went to the hometown of Tianbao Pavilion in the northwest of Chang'an City, walked and walked, talking and laughing all the way, as if they had returned to the past time.

Passing through Dongshi, Murong Bai clamored to go shopping, Murong Huan and Li Qi loved their son, so they ordered Dongshan and Beiling to go back to their homes first, clean up, and their families simply walked around Chang'an City, and then went back to the house at dinner.

After Dongshan and the others received the order, they went back to the house to clean up first.

After all, Chang'an is the capital of Daqian, and now that the world has returned to light, more and more people have gathered in the capital. The East Market is also more lively than usual, and the variety of goods is also richer. Murong Bai had lived in Yanzhou for a long time, how could he have seen such a prosperous appearance in the capital? I saw that he was going to get off the ground by himself, jumping forward and running, lingering in front of the various vendors. Murong Huan took his wife and sister and hurriedly followed behind the child, afraid that he would accidentally fall on his heels......

The four of them entered the largest restaurant in the East City, and ordered some of the best wine and food in Chang'an City. During the banquet, Murong Yan proposed several times that she wanted to go back to Xu's house first and report her safety to several sisters in the family. But every time, Murong Huan waved his hand to stop him. According to Murong Huan's meaning, since I have returned to the capital, there will be a Tianbao Pavilion in the capital from now on. You Murong Yan is the eldest lady of Tianbao Pavilion, from now on, you should live in Tianbao Pavilion with you, and don't go anywhere else!

Murong Yan had no choice but to follow her second brother, and didn't want to go back to the Xu Mansion for the time being. Fortunately, listening to his second brother, his disease-free brother will be able to go home safely today. As long as the disease-free brother is fine, the rest can be considered in the long run. However, listening to her second brother's words at this time, it seems that she is still quite dissatisfied with her disease-free brother......

In Murong Yan's heart, there has always been a big question. Three months ago, that "disease-free brother" suddenly decided to go to heaven and become his immortal! No matter how hard she begged Hu Yiyi and Yao Zibei, the "disease-free brother" just didn't listen and was bent on leaving them. When the women saw that he had made up their minds, they had to tearfully agree. However, before leaving, he predicted that another disease-free brother would come from ten years ago. He asked the women to take the innocent brother as if he were himself. Moreover, the disease-free brother will

Replace yourself and protect them with your heart......

The night before the departure of the "disease-free brother", he suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart. At that time, with tears in his eyes, he repeatedly told several women that they must treat their disease-free brother who was about to arrive well. The women also heard the meaning of his words, and wanted them to make all of them regard the "self" who arrived later as their husband. Moreover, he hopes that the first wedding will be the marriage between her Yan'er and her disease-free brother. The three women all thought it strange before, and they didn't know what the purpose of the "disease-free brother" was. However, later, he couldn't resist his repeated requests, so he had to tearfully agree.

Sure enough, a few days after the "disease-free brother" left, another disease-free brother crossed over. At that time, Xuchang City was short of water and food, and the people in the city could not hold on, so Hu Yiyi had no choice but to take the risk of taking Yao Zibei and Dongshan and others out of the city to hunt.

But in this hunting team, without the "disease-free brother" on the battlefield, how could they be able to defeat those monsters? Just as Hu Yiyi and the others were surrounded by four horses and three big black wolves, and when they were in danger, fortunately, the new disease-free brother came to the rescue and was able to ensure that they returned to the city safely. At that time, Hu Yiyi sprinkled the resentment of the previous "disease-free brother" who only left on the head of the disease-free brother who followed. The first time we met, I was beaten in the head, and I didn't know what was going on with my poor brother......

In accordance with the instructions of the "disease-free brother", that night, she agreed to marry the new disease-free brother. But for some reason, my brother, who was not sick, was in the same room with her for more than a month, but he just slept on the ground and never slept with her.

In that "demonized world", she, Hu Yiyi and others are extremely difficult to survive every day. Under the careful protection of their disease-free brother, they were able to continue to survive. Later, they returned to Chang'an and lived in the former Xu house of their disease-free brother. After more than two months of getting along, she got along with her disease-free brother day and night, only to feel that he was the "disease-free brother" who left before, and there was no difference between the two people. Sometimes she even suspects that the "disease-free brother" has never left them at all, but after going out and going around, he has changed his clothes and turned around......

She has always loved the "disease-free brother" deeply in her heart, and she also asked that night and learned that the disease-free brother has always liked her. However, for nearly ten years, her "disease-free brother" has not touched her body. In the same way, the same is true of the disease-free brother who came later......

What she doesn't understand in her heart is that she likes him, and he has always liked her, but why, he has always been unwilling to be with her?

Perhaps, her second brother knew some inside information because she was dissatisfied with her disease-free brother.

......

......

Murong Huan and his entourage, after having lunch, visited the north and south of Chang'an City to the fullest, and it was not until three hours later that the four of them returned to the Tianbao Pavilion happily.

On the way back to the house with her second brother, Murong Yan passed by Liquanfang again. She saw the pair of huge stone lions in front of the Xu Mansion from afar, and couldn't help but want to knock on the door and go home to see if her disease-free brother had returned safely. But no matter how she pleaded, Murong Huan never allowed it.

There is no way, since she was a child, she has always obeyed her second brother's words, and she dare not object at this time. She knew that her second brother's insistence must have a deep meaning, and when she saw that he didn't explain the reason, she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to lower her head and follow her all the way.

......

Not long after Murong Yan left Liquanfang, a handsome man with a down-to-earth figure and uninhibited demeanor walked into Xu's house. There was a faint look of exhaustion between his eyebrows, but his face was full of smiles like a spring breeze.

When Yao Zibei saw it, he immediately pounced, hugged him tightly, and choked up: "Brother Xu, you are finally back! I thought I would never see you again!"

Xu Ke gently patted Yao Zibei's shoulder, scratched her nose again, and said softly: "Xiaobei, I'm back! Don't worry, your brother Xu will be fine! I have to keep this life and protect you well!"

Hu Yiyi and Yiqing also ran out, and when they saw that Xu Ke could return safely, they all hugged each other and couldn't help crying with joy.

They originally thought that Xu Ke must have used the power of the spirit bead to travel back through the ......

"Where's Yan'er?" asked Xu Ke.

Hu Yiyi said: "Dongshan has just come, and he said that at noon today, the city lord of Murong will arrive in Chang'an. At this time, the third sister had been taken out of the palace gate by her second brother and went back to Tianbao Pavilion......"

Xu Ke sighed: "Sure enough, it's Brother Murong who is here! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go home so soon!"

Hu Yiqi said: "Xiao Wuxi, the city lord of Murong suddenly returned to Chang'an, could it be your ......?"

"Yes!" Xu Ke said with a smile: "If it weren't for Brother Murong coming in the starry night, I'm afraid that I, Xu Ke, would have to wait, and I would have to suffer those thousand knives in three days! Speaking of which, I have to thank Brother He Mao for ...... this."

"Mr. He Mao?" Hu Yiyi wondered.

At that moment, Xu Ke entrusted He Mao Zhongxing with how he entrusted, rushed to Yanzhou City late at night, and told everything about the situation here, and prepared it. Since Murong Huan has rushed to the capital today, it means that He Mao Zhongxing has completed the entrustment of his friends.

Everyone heard that He Mao had such a thaumaturgy and helped Xu Ke so much, and they were surprised but also extremely relieved. If it weren't for He Mao's work, I really don't know what would happen to Murong Yan after she entered the tiger's mouth at this time today.

In the final analysis, Xu Ke was able to avoid this catastrophe, and he still relied on Murong Huan, the young master of Tianbao Pavilion, who was "the best in the world in martial arts". No, this person is so prestigious, even the emperor doesn't dare to do anything about it! When all the women thought of this, they were all amazed at how good the master of Murong Pavilion was......

Xu Ke had the heart to rush to Tianbao Pavilion immediately, he wanted to thank Murong Huan for saving his life, and he also wanted to see Yan'er in his heart. However, Hu Yiyi said that it was getting late at this time, and the Murong family had arrived for six hundred miles, so they would be physically and mentally tired, so it was better to go tomorrow.

At this time, it was the end of the unitary period, the sky was dark, the twilight was four, Xu Ke had not eaten dinner, and he was inevitably hungry again......
