Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 116

When Prince Jin walked out of the Qing Palace, the prince was standing at the door with a smile.

“Liancheng, I used to listen to the imperial grandmother talking about you, but I never had the opportunity to meet you. Although today is not an official occasion, but we also met, it is better to come to the Prince’s Mansion, I intend to have a long talk with you .”

Prince Jin’s eyes were deep and bottomless, making it difficult to see what he was thinking, and his tone was extremely peaceful: “Your Highness, I will visit tomorrow.”

With a cordial smile, the prince got into the car and drove away with the beautiful princess.

Prince Jin stood on the steps and watched the Prince’s car drive away until the carriage disappeared into the dark night. Someone behind me whispered to me: “Are you really going to the Prince’s Mansion?”

Jiang Xiaolou stood at the door, her delicate and beautiful face was faintly flushed by the red lanterns, and the expression in her eyes was very serious. A gust of wind blew over her hair, bringing up her black hair, making Dugu connect the city. Can’t help but think of the lotus leaves in the pond, but there is a touch of clearness in the bustling beauty.

Dugu Liancheng’s smile was very light: “Since people are sincerely inviting, if I don’t go, I don’t know how to promote it.”

Jiang Xiaolou fixed his eyes on him for a long time before he smiled very quickly: “The prince is narrow-minded and has no tolerance for people. If you go, I’m afraid you will return home.”

“Are you worried that the prince would attack me?” Everything was related to his life, but the expression on Dugu Liancheng’s face was calm and calm.

Jiang Xiaolou’s smile gradually became depressed: “Your identity is really special. I hope you die like Jiang Zhiqing. Think about the assassination that day-but you have to put you to death.”

Dugu Liancheng slightly raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes couldn’t help but smile: “I’m fine, thank you for your concern.” The moonlight shone on his handsome face, and the pool-like eyes shone with moving sheen: “Since It’s the fate that I choose, and I won’t escape it. Just like you, if someone asks you to give up revenge, will you agree?”

Jiang Xiaolou was slightly stunned, and then he showed a slight smile: “Yes, you are right. This is the fate of everyone. Who can stop the fate? But I hope you will not be overthrown by the prince so easily. It’s rare that there is a big tree that can take the shade. You have to live a long, healthy life.”

Dugu Liancheng’s heart suddenly squeezed, and he couldn’t help laughing, his smile was like a flowing spring breeze: “Okay, I promise you.”

Prince House

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the eight-treasure glazed glaze lamp hangs high, the colorful light shines through the window lattices, and the whole hall is bright. A white plum blossomed obliquely outside the window, more dazzling than snow. A moth rushed into the hall, hit the burning red candle IQ, and instantly burned to ashes.

The prince held the tea cup in his hand with a gloomy expression, with a strange coldness in his eyes.

The princess’s lips were filled with mouth fat, and she looked ruddy. The guest: “His Royal Highness is upset because of Prince Jin?”

The prince sighed slightly, speaking very slowly: “Ai concubine should be very aware of the origin of Prince Jin, and the father loves him so much… This person will only cause endless trouble in the court.”

On the face of the prince, there was a faint smile with disapproval: “His Royal Highness, you are the prince, the future emperor of Da Zhou, why bother with him, a little prince. Since your Majesty has accepted him, you should also put on a show. Contact him with a tolerant appearance, on the one hand to broaden the father’s heart, on the other hand it also shows your high righteousness.”

The prince raised his brows and groaned from his nose: “Where do you know the severity!”

The wind outside the window was louder and louder, and Baimei’s branches and leaves kept rustling, slamming the window lattice violently, as if someone was about to break in.

“His Royal Highness, is there anything unspeakable?” The princess wore long jasper earrings on her ears, almost half of her face reflected a faint green light.

The prince raised his head and glanced at the dignified princess. Since Xie Yu’s death, the prince has been close to the princess. After all, those are just concubines that he loves for a while, and only the princess is his wife.

“I’ll only talk about this to you, don’t mention it outside, do you understand?”

It’s rare for the prince to see the prince’s expression so solemn, and her dense eyelashes blinked and her tone was extremely serious: “Don’t worry, prince, how dare I disclose your secret.”

The high-burning red candle seemed to carry a layer of silent flame, burning in the eyes of the prince, but in a flash, it returned to an empty color, as if his mind had flown out of the house, not knowing where it was drifting, and he “I remember that year when I was playing in the palace of the imperial grandmother, and I broke one of her most beloved jade bottles. I happened to hear the sound of footsteps outside. I was very scared, so I hid quietly. When I hid in the cave, I realized that the emperor grandmother and the emperor father had come in. At that time, they talked for a long time, and many of them were blurred. I only remember that the emperor grandma asked the emperor and said, how can you get it? The world? Father said, this is because of the kindness and gospel of the ancestor and the queen dowager. I was originally drowsy and bored, but the emperor’s grandmother retorted him and said that you can win the world only because Prince Dexin gave the throne to the throne. You. If he hadn’t died early, how could the throne be in your hands?”

The princess couldn’t help but her eyelids jumped when she heard this. She didn’t expect that the prince would remember everything from the past so clearly. Prince Dexin was the former prince. Even though he was both civil and military and well received by the public, he died before he became the throne because of his weakness , So this throne can take turns to be the current Lord. In this way, the empress dowager is right.

The prince’s eyes seemed to have a thin layer of ice, and his tone was cold: “Later, the father repeatedly said yes, and then the queen mother said that he would like to learn from his father and return the throne to the son of Prince Dexin.”

When I said this, as if a silver knife suddenly pierced my heart, the princess stood up immediately, the blood on her face faded completely, and she said silently, “Your Highness!”

The prince’s brows seemed to twitch slightly inadvertently, and he slowly turned his face to her, his complexion was shining in the light of the red candle, and the weather was uncertain: “The prince is afraid?”

The princess only felt that the zhutian was sinking downwards constantly. She stood still with great effort, but she could not restrain the shaking of her whole body. The internal organs seemed to be held tightly by an iron hand. She was almost breathless, there is such a thing, there is such a thing in the world!

The expression on the Prince’s face was faint, and the darkness under his eyes contained endless annoyance: “If you are afraid, you don’t have to listen.”

“His Royal Highness, I’m not afraid.” The prince concubine forcibly suppressed the icy air that suddenly rose in her body, bit her silver teeth, but her cold fingers touched her heart, trying her best to restrain the body from shaking.

The prince smiled softly, and there seemed to be a hint of indifferent sarcasm in his expression: “The father said that Prince Dexin did not leave any children, how can he inherit the throne? The grandmother asked him, if one day Prince Dexin’s son returns, he will again Whatever happens, it will kill the other party and never suffer from future troubles. The father said–”

“What did your majesty say?” The princess’s red lips were shaking slightly, and her voice was as thin as a gnat.

“I take the place of someone and want to kill another son. I can’t bear it.” The undercurrent in the prince’s eyes was turbulent, the cold soaked the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and his fingers subconsciously squeezed the handle of the chair, and it was faintly visible that the knuckles were blue, as if to pinch Broken.

The princess’s heart sank in an instant. Everyone said that the emperor had murdered his elder brother. I am afraid that even the empress dowager thought that way. That’s why he asked. For so many years, no one dared to ask this question, and no one dared to raise it. His Royal Highness spoke all of it without hesitation today, and she was frightened for a while and did not answer it immediately.

“His Royal Highness, the successful king and the defeated Kou, whether this throne is a legitimate successor or usurped from someone else’s hands, everyone in the world has already recognized him as the master, and the son has inherited the righteousness of his father’s work. If so, what does your Highness have Worried?”

“Ha, of course I had nothing to worry about before, but today I discovered that there is still a malignant tumor, which burns my heart day and night! The Prince Dexin, who is also my uncle, gave birth to three consecutive births. Both sons died unfortunately, so I thought that the imperial grandmother’s words were just to warn his father that it was not easy to cherish the throne. But then I discovered that the imperial uncle had a posthumous child back then.”

“It’s the prince of alcohol today–” The princess suddenly understood, but as soon as the words were spoken, she consciously fumbled, and quickly swallowed all the remaining words.

The prince nodded gently: “Yes, before Qin thought wanted to use my hand to remove the Xie family, I pushed the boat along the water to make a suggestion to my father, but I was met with coldness. At that time I began to suspect that the Xie family was special. After me After careful investigation, it was discovered that the posthumous son had been living in Xie’s family as Xie Liancheng and was raised as a businessman’s son. Originally, I thought he was not involved in political affairs, and my father did not allow me to move him, so I prepared to wait. After a period of time to get rid of this malignant tumor, but later discovered that Dugu Liancheng had been investigating the Prince’s Mansion secretly, and some secret forces gathered around him… So I sent a group of assassins to kill him, but I did not expect him to be Fu Da. Mingda escaped, and even took the initiative to enter the palace to see the driver. When the father saw that he was willing to abandon his status as the son of a merchant, he was naturally very happy, so he immediately gave him the title of Prince Alcohol and gave him the most luxurious mansion in Beijing. Kill him.”

The prince concubine faintly suppressed the coolness in her heart, but her tone was extremely gentle: “His Royal Highness, you are now the prince, and your Majesty will not just because of the original joke–”

“It’s not a joke!” The prince interrupted her suddenly.

The prince was taken aback: “You mean–”

The prince’s eyebrows gradually unfolded, as if carelessly: “Tomorrow Dugu Liancheng will come to the prince’s mansion, I hope you can entertain him well.”

The prince concubine vaguely understood something, a trace of complicated emotion flashed in her dark eyes. Although the prince is both civil and military, he is a narrow-minded person, especially can not tolerate anyone coveting his throne. He was extremely guarded against his own brothers, let alone Prince Alcohol-taking advantage of the fledgling time of the other party to try to get rid of it, this is the safest way.

The crown prince sighed softly: “Killing is unkind, and it is unwise not to kill. Your Royal Highness cannot kill or not kill. It is really a dilemma.”

“Injustice, it’s better than leaving a curse!” The prince turned around, his voice was like an ice brick, he slammed over him word by word, making a sound.

In the Qing Palace, a thin snow fell early in the morning, and the snowflakes fell like clusters of love threads, slowly falling into the azure lake water, with faint ripples, but quickly scattered in circles. Drive, no more traces. The red plum blossoms outside the window, and the faint cold scent rushes out, and the red petals stretch out like clouds, making the leaves dense and verdant.

Jiang Xiaolou, who was standing in front of the window, turned his head, and the bright moon in his ear shook slightly with her movements: “What are you talking about, he really went to the Prince’s Mansion?”

Chu Han looked down and replied: “Yes, the son went to the Prince’s Mansion.”

Jiang Xiaolou frowned involuntarily. She subconsciously walked a few steps in the room, but she sat back at the table again, holding a book in her hand, just turned two pages, and slammed on the table again. It seems a little unsure.

Chu Han hesitated and said, “Miss, are you worried about the son–”

Jiang Xiaolou sighed, and said: “The prince’s narrow-mindedness is beyond the reach of ordinary people. I have warned him to try to get rid of this game, but he just refused to accept it. He was really stubborn.”

“Miss, if the son does not go to the appointment today, from now on, he will never want to establish himself in the royal family. Everyone will think that he is a timid person, and even dare not attend an ordinary banquet.” Chu Han is a man. He could understand the reason Xie Liancheng had to go to the appointment. “What’s more, the prince is the crown prince of a country after all. He should not openly act on the prince and leave the handle to future generations.”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at Chu Han in a daze, but then he chuckles: “The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Today, your Majesty has ascended the throne as emperor. Even if his son is a fool, he is also an upright prince. He is lifted up high like the moon. From the moment he becomes the emperor, all his mistakes will be obliterated. He will have no fault, and no one will dare to accuse him. All people must bow to the ministers. Three kneels and nine knocks. The temptation is so great that anyone will do it at all costs, just like today’s Majesty–”

Jiang Xiaolou couldn’t forget the assassination, let alone the injuries suffered by Dugu Liancheng, so she was sure that the prince would definitely act today. She pondered for a moment, and then suddenly moved away.

“Miss, where are you going?” Xiaodie was taken aback.

Jiang Xiaolou didn’t turn his head back and said: “Today the empress queen made an appointment with Princess Qing to drink tea, and I will accompany the princess into the palace.

“Miss, don’t you say you can’t go, the princess is about to set off, how can I prepare now?” Xiaodie chased out of the yard, but there was no shadow of Jiang Xiaolou. She couldn’t help turning her head to look at Chu Han, looking at each other for a while. .

Prince House

Dugu Liancheng was led into the yard from the side door by the attendants. In front of him was an old plum tree, buckling and arrogantly frosty. After turning the old plum, there was a hand-shoveled veranda. The ground was inlaid with pebbles of blue, red and white. The pillars are decorated with pine, bamboo, plum, and magpie patterns. The maids were all dressed in white dresses and red jackets. They were slender and silent. Seeing him coming, they bowed to their knees.

The prince was looking at the new calligraphy and painting on the wall with his back hand. He turned his head when he heard the footsteps, smiled, and said in a cordial tone: “Prince Jin is here, come and look at my painting.”

Dugu Liancheng took a look. It was a picture of peony and peony. The garden was full of graceful and luxurious peonies, which originally constituted the protagonist of the whole picture. However, there are large and large peony flowers in full bloom with bright colors. , The color is dense, almost overwhelming the dazzling demeanor of peony.

Dugu Liancheng pretended to be unconscious: “It really is a good painting.”

The crown prince smiled deeply and said: “You and I are cousins. Although I have never met before, I know you… Now that the father has restored your title, I am actually very happy because The royal clan has one more member, and my relative has one more. So today I specially hosted a banquet at the house, which is regarded as a reception for you. I hope you will not refuse.”

Dugu Liancheng’s gaze still stopped on the strange painting, but his eyes were surprisingly clear and quiet: “His Royal Highness is really interested, and the city has a sense of five.” What he said was very polite and humble, but his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. The meaning of sincerity.

The princess had been watching outside the window, and what he saw was the scene in front of him. A young prince in Jinyi was standing sideways. The prince kept talking, but he only answered half a sentence occasionally. After the snow, it was clear and bright. The light fell on his face through the window panes, making his eyes more like a deep pool of water, with a faint smile on his lips, and the princess’s heart slightly drenched. This deep and tranquil temperament, calm and unhurried demeanor, I’m afraid In time, he is really the enemy of the prince.

The crown prince has a noble status and a arrogant temperament. It is impossible for others to take a look at her. However, seeing this beautiful man today, she still feels heartbroken. The original murderous intent is instantly invisible like a spring breeze. The person next to the prince was so good, so good that even the enemy couldn’t bear it. Coming out of Qing Palace that day, because the sky was too dark, the prince did not see Dugu Liancheng’s description clearly. At this moment, she suddenly understood why the prince was so wary of him, even far more than the three princes and others-the knot between her eyebrows became more and more tangled It’s tight. I originally wanted to dissuade the prince from acting rashly, so as not to leave others with a handle for offense. Today, seeing this person’s handsome manners and deep thoughts, she immediately changed her mind.

Dugu Liancheng must die before he becomes a climate.

At this moment, the prince instructed his servants around him: “Pass the meal.”

The attendant walked to the door and said to the servant girl who was standing on the veranda: “His Royal Highness passes the meal.”

The princess hurried to the side hall, arranged countless delicacies, and then quietly waited for the two to come in. When the prince and Dugu Liancheng entered the main hall one after another, the prince went coldly and smiled: “I have seen Prince Jin.”

Dugu Liancheng’s eyes were calm, but he paid his respects slightly. The sun reflected his thick, jet-black eyebrows, making the handsome face even more breathtaking.

The prince smiled and said: “This table of dishes is specially prepared for you. You have been away from Beijing for a long time, and you must have not tasted the famous dishes in Beijing. Come, today we have a drink, not drunk and no return.” The prince glanced at the princess. The crown princess held a chic and exquisite sapphire mandarin duck jug in her hand and poured a glass of wine for him personally, with a gentle expression: “Please drink this glass first.”

Dugu Liancheng’s gaze slowly fell on the hip flask, and then his eyelashes were raised slightly, and the crown princess suddenly met the clear and deep long eyes, only to feel that her heart thumped and thumped, her hands shook instantly, she didn’t know. Unconsciously poured the wine out.

“Oh, why are you so careless!” The prince was angry for a while, and he almost stood up quickly, but realized that his reaction was too much, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he reluctantly said, “Look at you, how can I connect this? I can’t do little things well, but my brother makes a joke!”

He kept talking about my brother, with an extremely affectionate appearance.

The princess’s complexion changed a little, and she suddenly realized that Dugu Liancheng was on the opposite side, and soon returned to normal. She said softly: “In the past, I only felt that the sons of the emperor’s father were all Lanzhi Yushu, handsome and extraordinary. It was only after seeing Prince Jin that there were people outside the world, and there was a reason outside the sky.”

Dugu Liancheng smiled slightly, his heart was already bright, but his face was silent, showing a quietly listening look, but his eyes swept to the door without a trace, and there seemed to be a faint look of expectation in his eyes. It disappeared in a flash, and soon disappeared again.

Just at this time, the steward of the Prince’s Mansion rushed over, with cold sweat on his forehead: “Thank the Prince, the empress has a gift to deliver!”

The prince fixed his eyes and recognized Huang Eunuch who was the most favored by the queen standing beside the steward. He couldn’t help but got up and greeted him.

The **** Huang took out a bright yellow brocade box from his arms, raised his hands above his head and offered it, the prince stepped forward to take it, and opened the brocade box. Inside was a seal. He stared at the eunuch, and asked in a cold voice, “Can the queen give an oral statement?”

“To the prince, the lady said that this seal is an old thing, please look carefully at your highness.”

When the prince heard the words, he fixed his eyes, and when he saw the lettering on the seal, his heart suddenly jumped, and a chill filled his body. He recognized who the seal belonged to, and the queen sent someone to send the seal, clearly knowing that Dugu Liancheng was with him and warned him not to act rashly. The prince gritted his teeth. The glass of wine was filled with chronic poison. After drinking it, it wouldn’t happen immediately, but after half a month it would make people die in sleep without knowing it. This was originally a good calculation, even if someone suspected that he would not be able to produce evidence in the future, the queen sent this seal and a warning to him.

Yes, how could he forget that the queen is Dugu Liancheng’s aunt, so how could she just sit back and watch? ! Since his calculations have been seen by the other party, any further action will only arouse the anger of the queen. The three princes have been absorbing the camp to win the support of the settlement, and they have smashed away from the front door and welcomed the wolf at the back door. The gain is not worth the loss. !

He sighed deep in his heart, ordered someone to give him a reward, and returned to the wine table again. He saw the wine cup in the hands of the princess, but his expression sank: “Who prepared this wine? The Prince of Mellow is visiting today. How can you use such vulgar things to spoil, go and change Tao Ran wine!”

The concubine’s heart sank, but her face calmly instructed the maidservant to change all the wine glasses.

Looking at Dugu Liancheng, there was still a calm expression on his face, but a smile slowly appeared in his eyes. This smile was extremely deep and thick, and almost uncontrollable joy emanated from his heart, making him look radiant and becoming more and more handsome.

The crown prince sat opposite him, seeing all his expressions in his eyes, and suspicious in her heart, this lone lonely city is crazy, why suddenly she didn’t consciously show joy…

The prince seated again, the smile on his face remained unchanged: “I invited you today, mainly because there is a gift to give you, and it ended up in the harem. Fortunately, she sent someone to send it to me. You. Look, this seal was carved by the imperial uncle’s father. He was both civil and military and talented. Unfortunately, he died young and his destiny was not long. Most of the relics left behind have been lost. I finally found this seal. It is said to be He carved it with his own hands, and now it returns to the original owner. I hope you will like this gift.”

Dugu Liancheng’s finger slowly moved to the seal, and a contented smile appeared on Junyi’s face: “Your Highness is kind, Liancheng has accepted it.”

When Dugu Liancheng left lightly, the prince banged and slammed his fist on the table: “It’s a shame that it fell short!”

The princess’s complexion was condensed, as if she couldn’t help herself, but one wave after another, the emperor’s imperial decree arrived, and she urgently called the prince into the palace. The prince’s heart suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave. He dared not complain at all, and hurriedly changed clothes and entered the palace.

As soon as the prince entered the imperial study room, he quickly knelt down on the ground: “My son comes here by edict, long live the father, long live long live.”

The emperor looked at him coldly: “Get up, why don’t you live forever? It’s fortunate that I haven’t been angry with you.”

Hearing this obviously angry remark, the prince squatted his head quickly: “Please calm down your anger. If your child minister is wrong, I hope you will punish you heavily and don’t hurt the dragon body.”

The emperor suddenly got up and cursed with his head and face: “Don’t pretend to be in front of me. Over the years, your brothers have dismantled each other, only cultivated each other’s forces, and desperately wooed the courtiers around me, so intrigue and various calculations, so as not to be my Is this dragon chair? I’m not dead yet, you are so anxious one by one, even if I die, I can’t rest assured to hand over the world!”

There was a chill in the prince’s heart, but he just bowed down, with a conscientious and very frightened appearance.

A blue vein appeared on the emperor’s forehead, and his expression was particularly grim: “In order to preserve your face, I have been unable to bear it, but you are getting more and more now, and you dare to poison Prince Alcohol. You think I am already confused. Can’t you control anything? As a prince, you should be diligent in politics and have no distractions. What about you? But indulging in female **** all day long, cultivating partisans, like your brothers, they are all useless waste. It’s good for the world to be full of smoke!”

The prince prodded his head and said, “I will follow the emperor’s edict, and dare not violate it in the slightest. I don’t know anyone who instigates you in front of you. Please don’t listen to such slanders!”

The emperor sneered: “Don’t pretend, you invited Liancheng to your house today, dare you say it wasn’t to kill him?”

The crown prince gritted his teeth: “The emperor’s father said that the sons and ministers have no place to show themselves. I have been planning allegiance to the country in Beijing for so many years. Because of my frank speech and honest temperament, it has attracted the suspicion of some people. You slander the child minister in front of you! As for you said that I want to kill Prince Jin, yes, the minister here does not deny it, but I am also considering my father, and I am absolutely not selfish!”

“What does it mean to consider for me, do I ask you to kill my cousin?”

The prince fell on the ground and burst into tears: “Prince Jin has a special status and was originally a misfortune. Recently, there have been rumors outside. He listened to his ears. Doesn’t he have the slightest resentment towards his father? The real purpose of the son’s minister is to do this. Protect you, Father!”

The emperor was even more furious: “Do you not know if you are a little careful? Now that your position is stable, your father will not be easy to save, why do you worry about it? More importantly, Prince Jin is not like you little people In the same way, he has no covetousness for the throne, he just hopes to live in peace in Beijing!”

“Father, the son is just afraid…”

The emperor sat down on a chair and sighed: “Now the place is calm and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As a prince, you should be a good example, but you always perform ghost tricks behind your back. There is no prince’s demeanor at all! If you continue Don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Hearing these words, the prince was panicked for a while, and immediately rushed to the ground, swearing to the sky: “Father, my son will never go against your will. I will take good care of the prince. Embarrass him!”

The emperor understood the prince’s temperament, how could he change his past with just one sentence? But after all, the prince is his biological son, who would pass the throne to him if he didn’t pass it on? No matter how good the prince is, he was not born to him. All he did was to make up for it, but it aroused the jealousy of the prince. The more he thought about it, the more dejected he was, but he said coldly: “In fact, your third brother is more clever and decisive than you. , It’s just that I have always believed that being a prince should be based on generosity and virtue, instead of looking at who is smarter and more capable. Remember, there are so many people in this world who are smarter and stronger than you, but I will not choose others, because you are the prince I choose and the son I respect most. No one loves you more than my father, but I hope you don’t use your stupid behavior to kill this kindness. Don’t let me down.”

“The child minister remembers his father’s teachings.” The prince dropped his head deeply, concealing the deep hatred in his eyes.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Prince Qing’s Palace. Because Princess Qing had to go to Princess An’s banquet, only Jiang Xiaolou got out of the car and saw Dugu Liancheng in front of her. She subconsciously smiled, but immediately grabbed it again. With a smile, pretending to be plain and idiomatic: “It seems that His Royal Highness is very courageous, and he didn’t dare to do it. It’s a shame to let this opportunity go.”

The smile on Dugu Liancheng’s face involuntarily deepened by two points: “I have never been aware of the fact that Princess Mingyue is so capable of suing criminals behind his back.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s face sank slightly: “It seems that I am really nosy. I should let you drink the poisonous wine. I also save the tone of arguing.”

Dugu Liancheng looked at her, with an uncontrollable expression of love and pity in his eyes, but it quickly turned into a calm light and narrowly said: “Are you really worried about me?”

Jiang Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, but his figure passed over him like a gust of wind: “I’m just afraid of losing a good ally.”

The moment I passed by, Dugu Liancheng smelled a quiet fragrance, like pure gardenias, only felt a slight sway in my heart, my heart beat suddenly, and I couldn’t help but chuckle silently, his expression was completely hidden. Can’t hide the joy.

Jiang Xiaolou stopped, his eyes turned back: “What are you laughing at?”

Dugu Liancheng smiled lightly. It was so easy to conceal his smile with his fist against his lips. The corners of his mouth still couldn’t help but rise. Gradually, he grabbed his smile again and said with a serious face: “I have an important thing to tell. you.”

Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and said indifferently, “What’s the matter?”

Dugu Liancheng’s voice was very slow and solemn: “General Pei Xuan – he will return to Beijing today.”

Jiang Xiaolou’s long eyelashes trembled, as if the wings of a butterfly covered with dew, with a hint of cynicism: “What you said is true?”

Dugu Liancheng fixedly looked at the other person’s figure. She was obviously a weak woman, but she was extremely stubborn in her bones. His tone was very gentle, but with a hint of alertness: “Now that people have arrived in Lizhou, they will enter Beijing in a half month. His Majesty’s banquet in the palace, he will certainly attend.”

General Pei Xuan Nai was a legend in the dynasty, and he was invincible in any expedition. It is said that he once dreamed of entering the Dragon Palace when he was a boy. The Dragon King treated him warmly and called out two young women, both of them are beautiful and slim, but one smiling and the other slightly angry. The Dragon King told him that these two women were left to his choice and could even be taken away together. However, Pei Xuan has an arrogant temperament and loves the ice and snow beauty most, so he only needs the slightly angry woman. After going out, the woman bows down: “If a talented man takes two daughters together, he will have both civil and martial arts, and it will be unstoppable. It’s too expensive to speak of. But because he only takes a servant, he will only become a general who will move the world in the future.”

Pei Xuan suddenly woke up from his dream, and there was a military book beside his pillow. Later, he really joined the army and became an invincible and invincible fighter. Because of his outstanding military exploits, he was already canonized as a general before he was established. More than that, His Majesty also married a princess to him. It’s a pity that the princess is weak. Less than a year after she was married, she lost her jade because of a dystocia. The general was transformed from a horseman to a hot widower.

This person, Jiang Xiaolou, will never forget, because it was this general who sold himself to Guose Tianxianglou. So his return is really an important message.

Dugu Liancheng looked at her expression, pondered for a moment, and then said: “It seems-your enemy has one more enemy.”

A faint sneer was suppressed in Jiang Xiaolou’s eyes, and she just waved her hand and said indifferently, “If there are too many lice, it doesn’t matter. This is rough, but it makes sense.” After that, she calmly entered the Qing Palace.

Dugu Liancheng looked at Jiang Xiao’s back and smiled unconsciously.

The parties are not afraid, but what else is there to worry about.

The light flew by, and in a blink of an eye it came to the day of the palace feast. Because it coincided with the Lantern Festival to celebrate the Lantern Festival, everyone was decorated with lanterns, and each state specially presented lanterns of different colors and sizes. The emperor ordered all the lanterns Are put into the moat. In the evening, the lanterns on the shore and in the water ignited for the first time, echoing each other, decorating the entire capital as a sea of ​​lights. People watching the lights on the street and watching the fires one after another, almost blocked the entire street.

The carriage of King Qing’s Mansion had already set off early and entered the palace smoothly at this moment. Jiang Xiaolou followed Princess Qing’s side, and the golden jacquard red felt was spread straight into the hall under his feet. The cold wind was rushing outside. Even though his body was covered with a thick fashion, it could not stop the biting cold, but inside the hall was Hundreds of beacon lights were lit, bright as day, and warm as spring. As soon as I entered, I felt a little sweat. Jiang Xiaolou faded from the banquet and took a seat with Princess Qing. When she was in action, the blue skirt swayed slightly, and the jade bells on the tassels tinkled, which was crisp and beautiful, and it became more and more beautiful and exquisite, charming and moving, which attracted people’s attention for a while.

The lady of the court immediately brought a tray of red sandalwood to serve the tea, a tangy aroma, it was the best Yun Shangfeng. Jiang Xiaolou slowly sipped two sips of tea, but He Lianhui next to him smiled and said, “Xiaolou, look at that young man over there, who has been staring at you, do you know him?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked in the direction she said, and saw a handsome young man sitting under the candlelight. He was dressed in a silver robe similar to a crescent moon. The cuffs were embroidered with moiré in dark green. The jade crown, the face is like the most delicate white jade of mutton fat, and the brows are thicker than those of women. It is Gu Liunian. However, he sits farther away, obviously because his status is not noble enough. Jiang Xiaolou retracted his gaze, put the tea cup on the table, squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a calm tone: “I don’t know.”

Gu Liunian was originally looking at Jiang Xiaolou, but when she saw her gaze turned away, she felt a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, her gaze finally passed through the crowd and fell on Prince Jin’s body.

It happened that Dugu Liancheng was also looking at her, Jiang Xiaolou touched the other person’s eyes, but suddenly lowered his head, hiding an unpredictable mood. The moonlight was as bright as water, falling on Jiang Xiaolou through the shallow panes, making it more picturesque and radiant. However, the two people’s stare at each other was quite unpleasant in Gu Liunian’s eyes. He didn’t know how this newly promoted Prince Jin would get involved with Jiang Xiaolou, but the strange feeling in the other’s eyes was him. Can not be ignored. His heart sank slightly, and his eyes looked a little cold.

At this moment, General Pei Xuan walked into the hall under the guidance of the eunuch.

When Jiang Xiaolou heard the promise, he looked over coldly.

Pei Xuan was dressed in a very simple and neat black clothes, did not tie up his hair crown, but let the ink-colored spring water flow down behind him. As the most outstanding young general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should have an angular and masculine face, but on the contrary, he has a romantic appearance, a beautiful appearance, and a temperament like pear blossoms and snow, indifferent and cold, and his features seem to have passed through the sky. It was carefully carved and turned into a perfect jade statue, without the slightest flaw, but indifferent and without a trace of popularity.

Jiang Xiaolou lowered his eyes lightly and muttered to himself: “Pei Xuan, you are still the same…”
