"That's it." After careful consideration, Emperor Changlong felt that he could not let his son be wronged, so he gave up the idea of making the Du family daughter a crown princess.
"I'll show you again." Emperor Changlong sighed, "When I was your age, there was no shortage of people around me."
The prince pretended not to hear the last two sentences, got up and gave a big gift to Emperor Changlong: "Thank you, father and emperor, for being sympathetic to the sons and ministers."
"Although you were born in the royal family, you can't do many things as you like, but I don't want you to find a crown princess who you hate." Emperor Changlong waved, "If there is a woman with a suitable status and a good impression on you, you can tell me in advance."
The prince said: "Father, my son is just a little picky about marriage, but he is not obsessed with his children's private affairs. If you want your son to have affection for a noble girl, it will be difficult."
"Go go go." Emperor Changlong got angry when he heard this, and waved the prince to go back to sleep.
"There, the minister will retire first." The prince was very sensible and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Emperor Changlong threw a red seal to the prince, "Take it, the New Year's bag."
"Many thanks to the royal father." The prince left with the New Year's bag in his hand.
Emperor Changlong began to sigh again, hoping that next year, there will be fewer children to have New Year's bags.
After the prince left, the worried old father, Emperor Changlong, sent someone to give each prince and princess a New Year's bag. Dajin has a habit, every New Year's Eve, the elders will give the unmarried juniors a New Year's bag. Although he has five sons and three daughters, and he is not young, none of them are married.
The emperor's family is also troubled by the marriage of their children.
It was very late when the Hua family brothers and sisters returned to the Huafu. After washing up and lying in the soft quilt, Hua Liuli slowly fell asleep with the nostalgia for her parents.
The next day she slept very late and didn't get up.
"A year's plan is in spring, and a day's plan is in the morning." Hua Changkong saw Hua Liuli as if he didn't wake up, "Today is the first day of the new year, you sleep so late?"
"Being able to sleep in on the first day of the new year means that I can sleep in this year, which is a good sign." Hua Liuli finished her breakfast, and her spirit has slowly recovered, "Third brother, go out for a walk today, and hide at home to read a book on the first day of the new year. , to read a year's book."
"Crap." Hua Changkong stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, "I'll take you out for a walk."
It will be very lively outside on the first day of the new year. The two brothers and sisters stay in the house, and it is indeed a little cold. Hua Changkong knew that his sister was missing her father and mother.
The two brothers and sisters changed their clothes and went out. Hua Changkong knew that his sister was lazy and didn't want to walk, so he specially asked the servant to put her in a carriage before taking her out.
The streets were indeed crowded with people, small business vendors smiling all over their faces, naughty children clamoring for snacks, and young men and women walking shyly together, even if they were surrounded by crowds, they could not Dispel the sweet affection between them.
Knowing that Hua Liuli was greedy, Hua Changkong bought some snacks and stuffed them into the carriage like a thief, and whispered, "Don't eat too much, the things outside are not clean."
"Third brother's thoughts, even if I don't like to eat these, I will cherish them." Hua Liuli lifted the curtains of the car and smiled softly at Hua Changkong. After putting down the curtains, she shared snacks with Iris head-to-head.
"The capital is really a good place." Hua Liuli sighed, "The north and the south, the east and the west, all delicious food can be found in the capital."
It's no wonder that people in the capital have so many eyes, they eat too much every day, and when they have nothing to do, don't they just want to find something to do
On the street from time to time, the Jingzhao Mansion Sabre Yacha passing by, and the vendors are not afraid to see the Yachai, and those who know each other will take the initiative to say hello, and they look prosperous.
Hua Liuli can probably understand why Daddy respects the saints so much.
"Passing by, don't miss it, in order to celebrate Dajin's capture of the second prince alive, we are offering 20% off all noodles in this stall, buy five bowls and get one bowl free."
"Look here, our pies are not ordinary." There was a woman in an apron shouting, "In order to thank the wise and wise majesty, all the pies in this shop are sold at a low price, buy three fillings Cake and hot tea."
"Selling flowers, selling flowers." A child was selling a basket of flowers. "Wear the hair here, you are the most beautiful girl in the whole street."
The street vendors in the capital city are different, and even the reason for the discount is so great. Happy with the joy of the court, worry about the worry of the court, how high is this ideological awareness.
Hua Liuli was moved by their spirit and bought a bunch of pies for the servants who accompanied her and her brother out.
Waiting for the time for people to eat, Hua Liuli got off the carriage and followed Hua Changkong to look around. Just happened to meet another group of people.
"The county master." Du Xiuying knew Hua Liuli. She looked at the pair of brothers and sisters with various gadgets in their hands, and gave them a perfect salute, "Happy New Year."
"Hello, Miss Du." Hua Liuli returned the salute, "Is Miss Du also here to watch the fun?"
Du Xiuying shook her head lightly: "There is a bookstore in front of me, I'll go buy books."
Hua Liuli was in awe, a woman who read books seriously on the first day of the New Year's Day, how remarkable this is.
"Farewell." Du Xiuying bowed again.
Hua Liuli hurriedly returned her salute. On this girl Du, she seemed to see the shadow of her husband, which reminded her of the fear of being punished when she was young.
Du Xiuying nodded slightly, lifted her skirt slightly, and walked in the other direction across the crowd. Her steps were the same, as if she had been measured. Even though she was surrounded by pedestrians, her steps on the temples did not change.
"This girl Du is really amazing." Hua Liuli sighed with emotion. In terms of etiquette, nobles have so many requirements, but there are not many people like Du girl.
"What are you praising others for now?" Hua Changkong saw a group of acrobats performing on stilts in the distance, twisting their fans and approaching, and stretched out their hands to protect Hua Liuli, "When Mr. teaches you etiquette, if you have this It's good to have a sense of it."
"I'm weak." Hua Liuli grabbed Hua Changkong's sleeve, and her face suddenly changed: "Third brother, something is not right."
She and her third brother were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and ordinary people were afraid that they would lose money by squeezing their accessories.
There are no ordinary people in the capital so carefree.
Hua Changkong also realized that something was wrong. He watched the unidentified passers-by who were getting closer and closer. He was about to draw out the dagger hidden in his boots when he heard the scream of his sister.
"Help, someone wants to murder the daughter of the Great Protector General!"
"The general's daughter?"
"Who wants to kill the general's daughter?!"
"His grandfather's, let me see if I don't kill him."
When the passers-by and vendors around heard the scream, they also realized that something was wrong, and rushed over with blood.
"Protect the general's daughter."
"Yes, the general guards the country for us, and we protect his daughter for him."
The person who wanted to take Hua Liuli hostage in the chaos, before his hand touched Hua Liuli's sleeve, the vendor who bought the candied gourd took a bamboo stick and stuck it on the back of his hand.
"Ow!" The man screamed, and was instantly pushed to the ground by the people.
Hua Changkong noticed that someone had drawn out a weapon and kicked it in the air. The weapon was kicked to the ground by him. The Hua family has a wealth of experience in fighting when there are many people. He was worried that these people would hurt the people, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
On the contrary, these unidentified people seem to be more accustomed to sneak attacks. When they see that the situation is wrong, they turn around and pour into the crowd and want to escape. But where are they the opponents of the people in the capital
"Everyone, please be careful and pay attention to your own safety. These thieves may have weapons on them." Hua Liuli stood staggering in the crowd, her face was full of panic, she looked pitiful and helpless, just like the scream that resounded through the street just now. The sound was not what she made.
There was Hua Changkong, who was good at melee on the battlefield. Before these people could take out their weapons, they were kicked over by him. Coupled with the protection of the people, those who wanted to take Hua Liuli away in the chaos did not dare to reveal their identities, and they had no way of starting.
A little girl who is timid but does not forget to care about others is more likely to arouse the desire to protect passers-by, so these thieves who were held down were beaten up by the indignant people and sent to Jingzhao Mansion with a bruised face.
After these thieves were sent to the government, the Hua brothers and sisters began to thank the people.
The rescue of the general's daughter gave the people a sense of satisfaction in being righteous and brave. When they saw that the two brothers and sisters were outstanding in appearance, and they were close to ordinary people like them, they all smiled happily: "No thanks, no thanks, such a well-behaved little girl, those thieves are willing to attack, it's really a thing that kills children."
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." An aunt who set up a stall saw Hua Liuli's pale face and was so distressed that she put the birthday tumbler sold at her stall into Hua Liuli's hands, "Come, take this to play with."
This is to coax Hua Liuli as her little granddaughter.
When Du Xiuying came out of the bookstore, she could see the Hua family brothers and sisters sitting in the wonton shop eating from a distance. They were surrounded by commoner soldiers. She even saw Hua Liuli drinking wonton soup while talking to people.
The Hua family is a family of military commanders that has been passed down for many years, why don't they even abide by these etiquette rules
"What did you say, who caught the killers who were sent out?" Wusan thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Caught by, by the people and traders on the street."
"They are killers." Wusan was silent for a long time. "They are famous killers on the killer ranking list. You tell me now that they were caught by traders. Are their rankings paid for?"
"Boss." The killer who replied whispered, "You forgot again, our killers don't have a surname."
"The atmosphere in the capital is really getting worse and worse, and even the killer rankings are falsifying." Wu San covered his face, "Don't say they are killers when you go out, our killer industry can't afford to lose this person."
The killer thought, in their line of work, who else can be lost, isn't it life that can be lost
"It's all useless things." Wusan felt grief and anger for the downturn in the killer industry, and worried about the future of the killer world. He wiped his face solemnly, "Next time, let me do it myself."
As the third-ranked senior in the killer world, he should take up this heavy responsibility.
