Views:

Seeing that Hua Liuli was afraid of the cold, the crown prince smiled: "It's cold outside, go back with Changkong as soon as possible." After speaking, he looked back at the dagger that was put away by the officials of Dali Temple, and his eyes became colder.

"His Royal Highness, Wei Chen and his sister-in-law retire." Hua Changkong didn't want to join the battle for the prince, he turned his head and gave the little sister a wink, signaling her not to stay and leave quickly.

Hua Liuli blessed the prince, and followed Hua Changkong towards the carriage.

"County Lord." Tian Ruidong saw Hua Liuli was about to leave, so he trotted to catch up, "County Lord, there are some medicinal herbs for warming and nourishing the body in this mansion, how about sending them to your mansion tomorrow?"

"Thank you Tian Gongzi for your kindness, but my body has been sick for many years, and I need to take care of it slowly." Hua Liuli smiled softly, "It's a medicine that is poisonous, my body..."

She smiled relievedly: "Forget it, don't talk about these little things, Master Tian, leave."

Tian Ruidong watched the Hua brothers and sisters leave in a trance, and after a long time he reluctantly returned to the scene of the crime: "What about the servant who wants to kill this son?"

Seeing Tian Ruidong's stupid face, the prince sighed. The Tian family really had a bad brain from the ancestors, and almost lost his life, and he did not forget to show hospitality to the girl.

The Hua family has been famous for generations, and those who can lead troops to fight are all smart people. The descendants of these two families are not suitable.

The door is not right, and even the brain does not match.

"Tian Ruidong." The prince said, "Don't go out recently, I don't want to see you next time, it's in the death room of Dali Temple."

Tian Ruidong shuddered, and he suddenly realized that if the Fushou County Master had not called him, he wanted to say a few words to the County Master, then he...

Thinking of this, Tian Ruidong broke out in cold sweat, reached out and touched his neck, shook his hands and saluted the prince, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."

"His Royal Highness." Pei Jihuai whispered to the prince, "The poison on the dagger is a secret medicine worth a thousand dollars. A year ago, the Great General Protector shot the enemy's chief, and the arrow was painted with this."

The turning point that determines the victory or loss of the battle between Dajin and Jinpo Kingdom is that a year ago, the general protector of the country shot and killed Tuka, a famous general of Jinpo Kingdom. Since then, Jinpo Kingdom has been retreating steadily, and even the second prince who personally led the troops was captured alive.

If you can shoot the enemy's head on the battlefield, it is the best way to inspire soldiers. But Tuka, as the best general of the Jinpo Kingdom, was wearing golden armor all over his body, with almost no skin exposed.

only eyes.

When the two armies were at war, Hua Yingting could kill him with one arrow. What kind of heroic archery is this

It is a pity that such a divine general was seriously injured when attacking the city of Kerr and could no longer go to the battlefield. The prince looked at the dagger in the wooden box and said indifferently: "The mastermind behind the scenes not only wants to provoke the conflict between King Ying and King Ning, but also wants to make people suspicious of the Hua family?"

Pei Jihuai didn't dare to say yes or no, he was just an investigator, all he could do was find the murderer, he didn't dare to guess.

One day later, all departments in the capital suddenly became tense. The petty thefts on the street were caught cleanly, and Huajie Liuxiang was also subjected to the strictest interrogation.

"Sir, please calm down."

"Quiet your anger?" The man covered his chest and almost vomited blood, "In just one day, most of the people we planted in the capital were swept away. If it wasn't for you useless scumbags who made mistakes and leaked their traces, how could we have done so? Lose so many people?"

"Master, these people in the capital are very cunning. Half of our people were exposed by them." The subordinate advised, "Master, the current situation is not good for us, let's leave first."

The man finally couldn't hold back and spit out the blood in his heart. Let him do all kinds of calculations, but people are not as good as heaven. He can't count the people who are elusive in the capital, smile when they face people, and go to report to the officials behind their backs, nor can they count the accidents that always occur in the plan.

In this place in the capital of Dajin, not only the royal courtiers are good at calculating, but even the common people hide their knives in laughter.

"Send the message to the dark posts, find an opportunity to leave the capital, and be careful not to arouse suspicion from others." The man slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, raised his eyes and looked at the man standing in the corner, "Five-three."

"Young Master?" The stopped subordinate looked up at the man.

"Remember my order from yesterday?" The man said with a sullen face, "You stay in the capital, and no matter what method you use, you must arrest the princess of the Hua family for me."

If it wasn't for this person, he wouldn't have failed so many times in a row.

Up to now, only by handing her over to the lord can the lord's anger be appeased.

"Yes." Wu San said, "Please rest assured, my subordinate, my subordinates have already started preparations."

Hearing the word "rest assured", the man spit out another mouthful of blood. In the past month, when has he felt relieved

"People in the capital just eat too well, they are too bored, and they have to toss out intrigues and tricks." Iris arranged the hairpin in Hua Liuli's hair: "The county master, go to the palace banquet today, can you? Be careful."

"It's okay, I'm a delicate and frail person, and what others say is what they say, and I won't argue with them." Hua Liuli touched the pendant between her brows, took the silver silk noodles brought by the maid and finished eating, "Three Did you eat there?"

"Don't worry, Third Young Master has a good idea." Iris helped Hua Liuli to fill her mouth, "It's getting late, county master, it's time for us to go out."

For a palace banquet held by the royal family, it doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is whether you can attend. This represents identity and status. Some destitute royal relatives, in order to maintain their superficial glory, tried every means to put their names on the invitation list.

A section of the way into the palace gate has already been splashed with water on the street, and it has been swept clean. On both sides of the road are neatly lined with guards to ensure the safety of everyone entering the palace.

This is Hua Liuli's first time to attend the palace banquet, and she is still a little curious and looking forward to it.

The carriage of foreign ministers could not walk in the palace. After entering the palace, Hua Liuli came out of the carriage. She looked up at the surrounding lanterns hung with various colors, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Watch the road carefully." Hua Changkong stretched out his hand to help her get off the carriage, and a eunuch came to lead the way and led them to the hall where the palace banquet was held.

On weekdays, I don't think how beautiful the palace is, but only tonight did Hua Liuli feel the hazy beauty in the night. Exotic flowers and plants are looming in the candle color, and while the slender maids are carrying the palace lanterns, occasionally the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard, which is like a fairyland.

"My lord, it seems that there are the son and the county master of the Hua family in front." The eunuch who accompanied him saw someone in front of him, and after identifying it carefully, he said to King Ying, "My lord, do you want the servants to stop them?"

Hearing the movement behind her, Hua Liuli turned her head to look, saw the British King and the Fifth Prince, and smiled politely at them.

The wind blew up the lamp hanging on the branch next to it, the lamp flickered, and the woman under the lamp was also stained with a bit of dust.

The King of England stared blankly at this scene, and a sentence flashed in his mind.

Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.

Before he recovered, his feet had already walked in front of the Hua brothers and sisters.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

"Don't be too polite." King Ying came back to his senses, and he noticed that the cloak that Hua Liuli was wearing was embroidered with intertwined branches. Although it was not as beautiful as peony and peony, it was very soft and pleasant.

In the past, he always thought that this kind of embroidery was too plain.

"Since we met by chance, let's go together." The King of England invited the two brothers and sisters to walk together, and from time to time asked about the lives of the soldiers in the barracks to show their closeness and concern.

The fifth prince followed behind the British King with a smile on his face, as graceful as jade like the moon.

I don't know if these princes made an appointment to enter the palace. On the way, they met King Ning and the taciturn fourth prince. The four princes gathered together and were very powerful.

On the surface, Hua Liuli couldn't see that the four princes had their own thoughts, and even the more irritable and impulsive King Ying looked like a considerate brother.

Passing through the palace road, Hua Liuli saw the spacious open space outside the main hall. In the distance, there was a group of palace servants carrying palace lanterns and carriages walking towards the door of the main hall.

In the entire palace, there are only three people who can ride the chariot without any hesitation.

The Holy One, the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness the Prince.

Hua Liuli turned her head to look at the four princes, their expressions were sparse, and in the eyes of the pedestrian, there was an emotion she couldn't understand and didn't want to understand.

Hey, I didn't expect these princes to do things like crowding out of small groups.

The four of them got together, but they didn't play with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now, when they saw people, they also had the expression "We can't stand up to you, we won't play with you".

Guys, do you know that jealousy makes people ugly

Hua Liuli covered her mouth and coughed a few times, dragged Hua Changkong to the prince, and saluted, "His Royal Highness."

She is Hua Liuli and will never join forces with these small groups that love to crowd out.

"Little girl, are you dressed up today?" The prince saw her, laughed lightly, and got off the carriage, "It's your first time attending a palace banquet, and you don't understand many things, so you'll be sitting next to the imperial grandmother later. "

Hua Liuli asked, "Will it be too much?"

"The emperor's grandmother is the grandmother of all the people in the world. What's wrong with the little granddaughter sitting with her grandmother?" The prince tilted his head, as if he had just seen four brothers bowing to him. "My own brothers, don't need to be too polite."

The four princes said that they did not dare, but insisted on completing the ritual before following the prince.

The prince ignored them, bowed his head and asked Hua Liuli in a low voice, "Have you heard Gu's words before coming here?"

Hua Liuli was stunned for a while, then she understood the meaning of the prince and nodded slightly.

"You don't need to talk when you go in, just listen to Gu's arrangement." The prince watched Hua Liuli's hair swaying gently, making him a little dazzled, and he couldn't help but reach out and put the hood on the cloak. on her head.

"Your Highness." Hua Liuli's eyes widened, "The minister's daughter's hair is messed up."

"It's alright, wait for you to sit next to the imperial grandmother, others won't dare to look at you." The prince coughed dryly and put his disobedient hand behind him.

Hua Liuli carefully took off the hood and backed away to Hua Changkong.

Others can be negotiated, and the hairstyle can't be messed up.

King Ying looked at Hua Liuli's fair little face, and her fingers were inexplicably itchy. The group entered the main hall, and after each salute, he walked up to Concubine Xian and whispered, "Concubine Mother, my son thinks that the little girl of the Hua family..."

"Don't even think about it." Concubine Xian didn't even lift her eyelids, "Ben Gong will not agree."

She knew exactly what her son's virtues were. The first time she saw Hua Liuli, she knew that with her son's dog eyes, she would fall in love with her.

The author has something to say: Concubine Xian: Most men have dog eyes, including my son.

Prince: Gu's name, do you remember it
