In the evening of the next day, Xue Xiangyang and several chiefs of the punishment department came out of the house on Yunli Changjie one after another.
"Congratulations, congratulations, Mr. Huai."
Mr. Lu's face was flushed, and he was shaking his body to make a compilation, his eyes were slack, and it was obvious that he didn't drink much.
Mr. Zeng also hurriedly bowed to Su Huaian: "Xiaguan also congratulates Lord Huai on his relocation."
Su Huaian cupped his hands and said, "It's Huai who should thank you all for your appreciation."
Xue Xiangyang smiled and said, "Sibo, your alcohol intake is quite good."
The drizzle was drizzling, and there was a dampness in the air.
The servants of each family held oil-paper umbrellas and led the carriage to the front of the house.
It was when they were saying goodbye to each other that they saw a carriage stepping on the movement of "De Lulu" and appeared opposite them.
There were horn lamps hanging around the luxurious carriage, and there were more than a dozen guards around. As soon as it stopped, a gong sounded.
have to.
This kind of pomp is obviously because the Princess Changning, who lives across the street, has returned to her residence.
Several principals of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't help but look back at Su Huaian.
There was a bit of envy and ridicule in his eyes.
This is the princess of heaven.
The eyes of everyone could not help but converge on the curtain of the carriage.
However, the one who got out of the carriage first was a man in a long black azure robe. He turned around and held up an oil-paper umbrella, placed it against the eaves of the carriage, and said, "The road is slippery today. Be careful, Your Highness."
After a while, Xiao Lianyu bent down and got off the carriage.
There is a pearl and jasper jogging on the top of her head, holding a Liuling gauze fan, and wearing a ocher red dress with a cloud of smoke, she is exquisite and colorful. Said: "Xun Lang, I don't want you to get caught in the rain, come here."
The guard said softly, "Your Highness, this is against the rules."
Xiao Lianyu looked up at him and said with a smile, "When did we comply with the rules?"
The sound was neither too small nor too small, neither light nor heavy, and if you pricked up your ears, you would definitely be able to hear it clearly.
As soon as the wind blew, Director Lu's wine seemed to wake up.
This, is this the lover of the princess' mansion
Su Huai'an looked at the other side without changing his expression, his phalanges were white, and he didn't say a word.
The servant of Xue's mansion stepped forward and muttered a few words on tiptoe in Xue Xiangyang's ear.
Xue Xiangyang started, and several colleagues in the punishment department turned their eyes and found reasons to leave.
In less than a moment, the crowd dispersed.
Su Huai'an saw the door of the eldest princess' mansion, and slowly closed it. He took a deep breath, walked over, knocked on the door, and said word by word, "I have something to ask the eldest princess."
No one answered.
Su Huaian pushed open the door directly.
"Bang" sounded.
Seeing this, the guards in the palace drew their swords one after another.
The princess was still standing with the guard, she didn't look back, but directly removed the pearl jasper step from her head and slowly inserted it into the guard's hair crown, smiling lazily and wanton, "I'll follow you. Say, it looks better this way."
Su Huaian said with a calm voice, "I have something to ask the princess."
Standing under the umbrella, Xiao Lianyu turned around and said casually, "Master Huai, is this asking for a meeting? With such a posture, I thought the Ministry of Justice was going to arrest me and bring me to justice."
Su Huaian said, "I have something to say to Your Highness."
Xiao Lianyu looked at him and said, "What identity do you use to tell me?"
Su Huaian said, "Consort, His Highness's future husband."
husband.
Xiao Lianyu sneered suddenly, took the umbrella, walked up to him in the rain, raised her head and said, "According to the Zhou ceremony, when the concubine sees the princess, she has to do four salutations, and she can only speak once she is called, and that's all for today, one more time. , I will ask the imperial brother about your sins and see you off!"
Su Huai'an grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Your Highness, in order to regret the marriage, did you even care about your reputation?"
As soon as this overreaching action took place, the guard behind Xiao Lianyu instantly took out a dagger from his waist and pressed it on the side of Su Huaian's neck.
Xiao Lianyu curled her lips and said, "But I don't care about reputation and etiquette at all, I just want to be with whomever I like."
In fact, Su Huaina also knew that she didn't care. If she cared, she would not have gone to Dali Temple to chase after her.
He looked at her motionless, then at the guard, and whispered, "How long has it been?"
The rain was getting heavier, and the umbrellas were crackling.
Xiao Lianyu said unhurriedly, "He has been by my side for the past three years."
three years.
At the moment when Su Huai'an lost his mind, Hao's wrist pulled away from his palm.

Xue House.
There was a lot of excitement in front of the palace of the eldest princess, and the officials of the Ministry of Punishment thought that Sir Xue left first to save some face for the prospective concubine, but it was not the case, Xue’s residence, something really happened.
The night dew was heavy, and Xue Xiangyang went straight to Chunhua Garden with a solemn face.
Chunhua Garden, which is the second room of the Xue family, the courtyard of Xue Erlang and Xue Xiangrui.
Xue Xiangyang opened the bamboo curtain and saw that his second younger brother was still eating. He was so angry that he grabbed the front of his clothes and picked him up and pushed him against the wall.
Xue Xiangrui and Xue Xiangyang's compatriots look different, but the eight characters are only half an hour apart.
Xue Xiangrui was frail since he was a child, and the thing he was most afraid of was his eldest brother.
"Big brother."
Xue Xiangyang's eyes burned, and he gritted his teeth: "Where have you been these days?"
Xue Xiangrui's eyes dodged, and he said to him, "Brother, let go first, I can't breathe..."
Xue Xiangyang said sternly: "I'll ask you again, where have you been! What did you send to Mount Li!"
Xue Xiangrui panted: "Brother, things are not what you think, I will listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation, okay?"
"Say."
Xue Xiangrui said: "Brother! Someone threatened me with the ledger from twelve years ago. If I don't obey him, he will go to print the ledger. I have no choice! But he said, as long as I want what he wants When things are transported to Lishan, the ledger is mine."
Xue Xiangyang didn't believe this at all, and sneered: "The account books in the hands of the family have been destroyed long ago, only Su Jingbei has one left, and now it is in the hands of Su Huai'an, do you want to tell me that the person who threatened you is Su Huai'an ?"
Xue Xiangyang will believe that Su Huaian has a copy, or because "Su Jingbei" is the buyer.
Xue Xiangrui said, "It's not Su Huaian, but the account book is real, with the official seal on it."
Xue Xiangyang frowned and looked at him, "Who found you!"
"It's the Mongolian translator from the Siyi Pavilion." Xue Xiangrui said: "But I went to look for it the next day, and the Siyi Pavilion said there was no such person at all! I guess he sneaked into the Siyi Pavilion!"
Xue Xiangyang's face became more and more ugly.
Xue Xiangrui said: "Brother! Don't worry, I have been careful, I will not let that thing become the handle of our Xue family. When I get the ledger, I will destroy it. I will arrange it for everyone..."
"Idiot, do you know what you are doing!" Xue Xiangyang punched him in the face and said, "We are making diplomatic relations with Mongolia this time! It is the people of Qi who are threatening you. You can't think of the seriousness? I did my best to transfer you from the Ministry of War to Honglu Temple, just to keep you safe, how about you!"
Xue Xiangrui covered the blood left on the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother!"
"In these years, I have tried my best to find out who Su Huai'an is for! Who is the father's abdication for? You have thought about the Xue family and the third sister!" If something goes wrong, I won't be able to protect you for my brother..."
Xue Xiangrui said loudly: "Twelve years ago, you blamed me for selling ordnance and humiliating the reputation of the Xue family, but this business was done by the family together. Did the money earned back then fill the gap of the Xue family? Is it for you Xue? The family has earned a mountain of gold! What I did today was not to get the account book as soon as possible?"
A figure flashed away from the Xue residence.

Lu Ze organized the reports given by Su Huaian and Zhuang Sheng into a submission, asking Xiao Yu to take a look.
Xiao Yu glanced at ten lines, paused and said, "Does Tantai Yi really have an account book?"
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Tantai Yi is a deceitful person, and those who watch Jin Yiwei day and night do not know that he has been in contact with the Xue family. This news was heard from the Xue family. The trip to the mountain has its own thoughts, and I implore Your Majesty to send more people."
The emperor, Tantai Yi, the family, and the Mongolian embassy all had their own thoughts, which is really right.
"Tantai Yiming repairs the plank road, so do we." Xiao Yu took out the map of Mount Li and whispered: "Jinwuwei is in the mountain, and the 20,000 troops of Yuzhou Iron Cavalry are outside the mountain, and there are seventy-five tents. There are four Jingmen in each of the east hunting ground and the west hunting ground. During the half-moon period of Mount Li, Jinyiwei is responsible for checking the fire every day…”
…
At this time, there are still three days before the hunting of Mount Li.
While holding the lantern, Xiao Yu returned to Jingren Palace.
