It was another day, into the night, when a light rain suddenly started, and it struck the bluestone slab in the courtyard with a continuous "ticking" sound.

Standing quietly in front of the window, watching the densely woven drizzle, Mo Qihan was in a daze.

In the afternoon, the butler hesitated to report to him, his expression was very unnatural and embarrassing.

"Master, Mrs. Liu came to visit. Miss Liu was seriously ill and was bedridden. She kept talking about her master. Mrs. Liu invited the doctor, but she never met. So, she wanted to pay homage to the master and offer incense to the master. , Ask the master to bless Ms. Liu, and heal from her illness. Please show her."

The phoenix trees are more drizzle, and at dusk, bit by bit...

After he was silent for a long time, he finally allowed Liu Taifu to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense.

But his heart was never calm again.

He is already "dead", what is she still talking about him? Is the old love unforgettable? For him, it’s just an old acquaintance, but he can’t watch her die...

A jet-black gown faced the drizzle and fell on the roof of the Liu Mansion where he stood last time.

Yu Xiao came out, covered his long and slender fingers with distinct joints, his thin lips moved lightly, and the sorrow sounded far away, close to the ear, and far away...

At the end of the song, I glanced at the brightly lit boudoir, heard the footsteps coming out, turned around without reluctance, and left the gown pierced into the air...

Inside the room, Liu Wutong called out in a daze, "Brother Han! Brother Han! I heard Brother Han blowing for me. It was him, he came back, and he came back to see me...Brother Han …"

"Indus, Dad went out to watch. There is no one. It may be a squeaky sound from elsewhere. It's coming here, Wutong, wake up!" Liu Taifu called anxiously.

Liu Shaobai was still standing in the courtyard, looking around as if he couldn't believe it, and even flew up to the roof, looking into the distance, wherever he could see, there was drizzle and no one was in sight.

The autumn rain continued for nearly ten days before the weather cleared up, and Ling Xueman stretched out and stepped out of the Shushui Garden.

I rarely go to the main hall of the palace. I am boring today. Ling Xueman walked through the painted wall corridor and reached the entrance of the main hall. Who knows, only to the entrance of the hall, I heard the sound of conversation inside, although the sound is not It's big, but you can listen to it.

"Second brother, can you say what Sisao can perform? I heard that she only learned embroidery, calligraphy and calligraphy, and Go, before she left the pavilion. She didn't know how to play the piano. But she asked me for a flute, she really knows how to play. ?"

"Xiao Qi, what are you worried about outside? But in my opinion, that girl is just swollen face to fill the fat man, deliberately rubbing your white jade flute!"

"Brother Seven, Brother Fifth, don’t underestimate Sister Sister, Sister Sister is amazing, you see how good she is playing football, haha, the one I admire most is Sister Sister, I think she must be able to sing Good dancer."

"Hey, why hasn't this person arrived yet? Isn't that girl deliberately dawdling in the room again, let's wait?"

"Second brother, why don't you talk? By the way, didn't Xuan'er ask you to teach his mother to play the flute? Have you taught it?"

"..."

Ling Xueman's fingernails were picking at the red wood carving at the entrance of the hall, his teeth clucked, and his intestines pierced straight!

"Wang Hao, are you going in?" Chuntang lowered his voice and asked.

"Of course."

After squeezing this sentence out of his teeth, Ling Xueman stood up straight, inhaled, exhaled, inhaled, and then exhaled. After so many times, he smiled and put on Chuntang's arm, stepped in and smiled. Like a flower, Pingting Tingting walks towards that one guy!

Everyone didn't know who saw it first, and turned to the entrance of the hall, and then everyone's eyes were frozen!

That aqua blue dress, fair and supple skin, a little pink on the beautiful face, glamorous eyes with spring, brows are picturesque, red lips are beautiful and beautiful, that smile is beautiful and beautiful, and The charming style shook everyone's minds.

Ling Xueman stood still in the middle of the hall, a pair of beautiful eyes swept across the dull and obsessed handsome faces, and he snorted, still smiling deeply, but the beautiful eyes were set on Mo Qilin's face in a blink of an eye. The voice was coquettish, "Fifth Prince, who just said that I was a fat man with a swollen face?"

"Uh...this..." Mo Qilin blushed and stuttered.

Ling Xueman raised her apricot, and then turned to Mo Qiyu, "Seventh Prince, who is suspecting that I am a phony trash?"

"Man...Four..." Mo Qiyu's face became hot and dumb in a hurry.

Ling Xueman chuckled and took two steps diagonally before looking at Mo Qichen. Mo Qichen hurriedly blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm wrong, I shouldn't say you deliberately scratched it, sorry. ,I am sorry…"

"Haha, six princes, what are you excited about? I'm not a jackal or tiger or leopard, and you can't eat it?" Ling Xueman laughed and teased in a leisurely manner.

"I'll shut up!" Mo Qichen stretched out his hand and pressed his mouth, staring in horror at the smiling woman in front of him, but his feet felt cold.

"Hey, don't be scared!" Ling Xueman sighed, and walked between Mo Qiyan and Mo Qiming, looking back and looking forward to their beautiful eyes, but the two of them were calm and calm. Laughing at her leisurely.

Failed to look at each other!

Ling Xueman let go of a smile, curled his lips, "Sure enough, I'm a big brother, cow!"

"Of course, we are not afraid of the shadow slanting, and we didn't say anything about you just now. Naturally, we are not afraid that you will settle the bill!" Mo Qiyan smiled lightly, looking at Ling Xueman's gaze with meaning, Ling Xueman's stunned, busy turning his face away. , Pretending to look at others without incident.

Mo Qiyan's smile constricted, and he looked at other people, still smiling faintly, "Xiao Qi, didn't you ask me why I didn't speak? Do you know the reason?"

"Oh! So second brother, you already knew that Sisao was eavesdropping outside. You deliberately didn't speak! Really, don't tell us to remind us!" Mo Qiyu said angrily.

Mo Qiming stared at Ling Xueman for a few times, before turning his eyes indifferently, "Xiao Qi, I can only blame your ears, you need to practice more!"

"Fainted, it turns out that the third brother knows too! Only the three of us are unlucky!" Mo Qichen sighed.

Ling Xueman hummed her nose, pointing her fingers one by one, "Do you know that you don't do bad things in your life, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night? If you three have no ghosts in your heart, you don't arrange me behind your back and despise me, can you have a guilty conscience? , Dare to look down on me, I will let you take a good look at my fourth sister-in-law when the time comes!"

Khan da da!

Several men swallowed at the same time, and a black line on their foreheads appeared!

"Sister-in-law, I support you!" Concubine Mo Ya was excited and gave Ling Xueman a thumbs up.

"Ya Fei, don't worry, I will convince these bad men!" Ling Xueman squeezed her eyes, a sudden thought flashed out, her eyes turned slyly, and she looked at the five men again, with a very serious tone. Arrogantly said: "Bad men, if my performance can make my father say yes and my mother say yes, what shall you do?"

"Uh, what do you want?" Mo Qiyan said.

"Hmph, if that's the case, each of you has to promise me a condition, no matter what I open in the future, you will have to comply with me, how?" Ling Xueman said calculatedly.

The corners of Mo Qilin's mouth twitched, "This is amazing, it's equivalent to a wordless contract!"

"Why, the five princes dare not agree?" Ling Xue asked passionately.

"How is it possible?" Mo Qilin raised his eyebrows, "Yes!"

"Okay, what about the others?" Ling Xueman rolled her eyes and smiled.

Mo Qiming smiled softly, his eyes were deep, and he looked at Ling Xueman and said, "Fifth brother dares to respond, how can we not dare?"

"That's it!" The other three joined together.

"Well, the gentleman said, it's hard to chase horses! If my performance is broken, I will serve you tea and serve as slaves!" Ling Xueman straightened her chest and was quite brave.

"Pump!"

The hall was full of laughter, everyone was amused and laughed from ear to ear, even Mo Qiming's mouth couldn't stop smiling.

Ling Xueman sighed in depression, "Hey, hey, I forgot to ask you, what are you doing in our Four Princes' Mansion if it's okay? Didn't you come here to make fun of me?"

"The emperor father dreamed of the fourth brother last night, and he was uneasy. He ordered our brother to give the fourth brother incense." Mo Qiyan stopped laughing and explained faintly.

"Oh." Ling Xueman nodded.

After finally sending away the group of dragon seeds, Ling Xueman gave an order as soon as he returned to Shushui Garden!

"From today onwards, no one except the little prince may step into the inner garden of the Shushui Garden. No matter who comes, he will stay out of the garden, and the princess will not entertain you!"

Rely on it, she wants to retreat and rehearse! !

Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty celebrated the whole country's birthday, and the various prefectures and counties served porridge for three days to show the emperor's grace and prosperity.

Jin'an, the capital of the Ming State, is even more lively, and every house is full of lights and festoons, beaming with joy.

In the palace, according to the ancestral system, the birthday banquet was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The golden glazed tiles, dark red beams and pillars, the cloud top sandalwood in the hall as the beams, the crystal jade as the lamp, and Fan Jin as the pillar foundation. A lifelike flying dragon is carved on the thick mahogany pillars, and a huge moon bead hangs on the top of the treasure in the palace, shining like a bright moon. The ground is covered with white jade, with golden beads embedded in it, and the ground is a lotus, blossoming like a five-stem lotus. The petals are fresh and exquisite, and even the stamens are delicate and identifiable. When you step on barefoot, you only feel warm and moist. It was actually chiseled out of Lantian warm jade. , As straight as a jade lotus step by step, the ultimate luxury!

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, on the west side is a vast field with a marble floor, surrounded by lush camphor trees, the fragrance is permeated, and the nose is full of fragrance.

An extremely wide artificial lake surrounds the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The water is rippling with blue waves, and the sun shines on the sparkling lake, like a layer of shimmering silver on the water, and like crumpled green satin.

Today, a three-meter-high performance stage was erected on the empty venue, and the entire marble and the stage were covered with red carpets, extending all the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

As usual, the banquet is held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After the banquet, you will watch the performance carefully arranged and selected by the Ministry of Rites outside the hall.

In the daytime, Emperor Mo Yuming led hundreds of civil and military officials and relatives of the emperor to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to incense. The real start of the birthday feast was at dusk.

"Boom--"

With the ringing of the three majestic and high-pitched national bells, the emperor and the empress brought them into the hall. Behind them, concubines, princes and princes, emperors, grandchildren, princesses, imperial relatives, and hundreds of officials followed in order according to their titles.

"See the emperor--"

The grand eunuch chief Li Gonggong's sharp and solemn shouts sounded, and everyone in the hall bowed down.

"Congratulations to my emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

"Flat body!" Mo Yuming's mellow voice was smiling.

"Thank you, the emperor!"

"The banquet begins!"

Finally proceeded to the topic!

Ling Xueman patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. She has been in the palace since noon, and now she is still untouched! Damn it, being pulled into Fengchen Palace by the Queen and Concubine Mo Ya, a bunch of court ladies, dressed her up and dressed up, making her almost like a big wedding.

Looking down at the prince and concubine's palace clothes, Ling Xueman sighed again, gorgeous! The pink palace dress has high quality and exquisite patterns. The two plackets are embroidered with Luanfeng, which symbolizes the status of the prince and concubine. Because she is married to the queen's concubine, the Luanfeng is still golden. It's a pity--

She is a widow!

Looking at the deceased prince's princess sitting next to him, as well as the second and third princesses, Ling Xueman sighed again, and wondered if she could stand with her in front of the world in an upright manner! Hey, imagine it again, if the concubine was the prince and husband who had died, it would be great!

Depressed patted his forehead, and the afterlight fell on the second princess again. Danfeng eyes, willow eyebrows, fair skin, dignified and beautiful, graceful and luxurious, sitting upright at the long table, slender fingers lightly cupped the white jade chopsticks, for a long time, Gently sandwiched a bite of the dish, and then elegantly served it in the mouth, without a trace of rice stains on the corners of the mouth, both lady and temperament.

Looking at the three princesses and the princes, they are the same as the second princesses. They are both beautiful and noble. No matter how they look at them, they are not rude or indecent.

Ling Xueman felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She tried to eat like them, but she couldn't deliver a dish to her chopsticks for a long time, and her empty belly kept screaming. She couldn't help but darken her face and no longer sit upright. One low, he bit the vegetable hard, remember to chew slowly, and swallow it after two bites.

"It seems that they are a phoenix flying in the sky, and I am a sparrow that fell on a tree!" Ling Xueman sighed and ignored her. She covered her forehead with her wide left sleeve and picked her up on the table with chopsticks in her right hand. The favorite dishes are deliciously eaten, anyway, let’s hide your ears, haha!

Who knows, when she was full, she opened her sleeves and raised her head, only to find that the six eyes of the three people were staring at her at once, and there was an incredible and incomparable shock in their eyes!

"Hey, hey, what? I...I'm too hungry...The queen didn't feed me, so I..." Ling Xueman flushed, speaking incoherently in embarrassment.

"The Fourth Princess is really different!" The second princess was talking, smiling, her tone slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth curled to one side with a hint of sarcasm.

The three princesses retracted their gaze from Ling Xueman's face a little, and smiled softly, "Four princesses, did we scare you? Haha, it was a little unexpected and surprised just now, don't be surprised."

It was the first time I met and talked, Ling Xueman was at a loss, staring blankly at the two women who were talking to her. The second princess obviously seemed to be hostile to her, and the third princess had an unclear attitude, and what he said sounded sincere. But the light in those eyes made Ling Xueman's heart tensed again, and he was even more at a loss. He stammered: "I, have I broken the rules when I eat like this?"

They all have a husband to support them, but she doesn't, so their instinctive momentum is a bit short.

Upon seeing this, the princess frowned slightly and said softly and softly: "Four princesses, it's okay. You can eat deliciously when you are hungry. There will be performances later. If you are hungry, your stomach will uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Ling Xueman turned his gaze and fixedly looked at the princess. The kind smile on her lips, the warm words, and the sincerity in her eyes made her heart hot, like a stalk in her throat, and she sucked her nose. , Said softly: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law?" The princess stunned, and then smiled slightly, "Yes, sister-in-law is called a little closer. You and I are relatives, and the fourth brother called me sister-in-law at the time. You should call me like that. "

Two inaudible cold snorts overflowed from the throat, and the second and third princesses turned their faces and raised their chins proudly. No matter how affectionate they are, they are also two widows. What's so ridiculous

The princess still smiled, but her eyes flashed, and then she shook her head to Ling Xueman, before saying: "Four princesses, if you have eaten well, we will go to the bar to toast the father and the queen and the queen. The husband is gone, we should replace it. Husband does his best to be filial."

Ling Xueman was startled, then nodded, "Okay."

The second and third princesses raised their chins again, picked up the wine in front of them, and squeezed them lightly. The corners of their eyes glanced at the princess and Ling Xueman, full of disdain and mockery.

After getting up and leaving the seat, Ling Xueman's steps were stagnant after walking around the female guest seat. When she turned around to see the second princess, she felt mixed.

Lifting his eyes, he subconsciously cast his gaze to Mo Qiyan on the opposite prince's seat. Unexpectedly, he crashed into his pear-like smiling pupils. He was holding a white jade wine glass, warm as jade, and the corners of his lips were slightly tilted. , Looked at her for an instant, and after a distance of five meters, the scorching heat in her eyes still made her cheeks hot, and her heartbeat speeded up a little.

Leaning to an angle, she made herself avoid his gaze. Inadvertently, a resentful gaze was like a thorn on her back, almost instinctive. She immediately turned sideways again, and the second princess was looking straight at her with her mouth hanging from her mouth. There was a sneer like nothing, her lips were moving, Ling Xueman couldn't hear her clearly, she just looked at her blankly.

"Four princesses?" The princess called softly in doubt.

Ling Xue hurriedly withdrew her thoughts, looked at the princess, and smiled far-fetched, "Here, sister-in-law, let's go."

"Yeah, good." The princess nodded slightly and took the lead to walk forward.

Ling Xueman followed behind, unconsciously learning the shape of the lips of the second princess. After doing this twice, she bit her lower lip tightly, and the second princess said three words: vixen.

Vixen? Vixen

Ling Xueman chewed these three words repeatedly, feeling extremely depressed. There were really many problems between her and Mo Qiyan. Can she blame Mo Qiyan? He has a complete family. How can a responsible man like him leave his wife to marry another? That day, she embarrassed him. He was really affectionate to her, but she couldn't respond to him because she had another man in her heart...

Thinking of her concubine, Ling Xueman's lips overflowed with a smile unconsciously, and what happened last night suddenly appeared in her mind. She asked her concubine if she would come to the palace to watch her perform, and the concubine answered decisively and sighed softly. He will not come. Reason tells her that it is correct not to come. She doesn't want him to take risks. Once exposed, he is afraid it will be difficult for him to survive!

After toasting and returning to her seat, Ling Xueman was in a good mood. Seeing the feelings of the emperor and the queen, she suddenly thought of her concubine, and her heart could not help but sweetened quietly. Before she knew it, her face was filled with happiness. .

When she was full and had nothing to do, Ling Xueman casually looked at the guests who had come to attend the emperor's birthday banquet today, looking at them row by row, unexpectedly let her see a familiar figure-Liu Wutong!

With joy, two rows of distance away, Ling Xueman turned her back, trumpeted her hands, suppressed her voice, and whispered quietly: "Indus--"

After calling three times in a row, Liu Wutong finally heard it, looked over, smiled, nodded lightly, and said hello.

Ling Xueman waved his hand happily, and then turned back, haha, it's great, let her meet a friend here!

Huh? Where is Liu Shaobai

Ling Xueman looked around and looked around, suddenly slapped her forehead, she was really confused, Liu Shaobai was a man, he should be in the male guest seat opposite! He straightened up straight, opened his eyes and looked to the other side. Before he saw Liu Shaobai, he saw Mo Qiyu smiling brightly at her and raised his glass to her.

"Haha!" Ling Xueman smiled, pointing to the wine and food on the table, then to his mouth, and then to the outside of the hall, asking him if he can go out if he is full

Mo Qiyu was looking at Monk Zhang Er, confused, blinked for a long time, and then lowered his head to ask Mo Qichen who was sitting together. It suddenly became clear that he raised his head and shook his head desperately, suggesting that Ling Xueman must not be self-willed.

Ling Xueman drooped his head depressed, then propped his head on the table with his elbows, tilted his thighs, and knocked on the table with another finger boredly, making a crisp sound.

Looking at the appearance of Ling Xueman's ruffian, the five brothers sitting in the same row sighed in unison.

"Hey, the fourth brother is such a deserted and well-mannered person. If he is still alive, I might see the appearance of the fourth sister, I am afraid that he will often use the family law!" Mo Qiyu sipped a glass of wine, with infinite emotion.

"Poor Sisao, if the fourth brother is there, she would not dare to be so presumptuous, who is the fourth brother? How can she be so unruly?" Mo Qichen said in agreement.
