When Hua Liuli and the prince arrived in the pavilion, the people who waited on the prince had already packed up everything. Every two steps around the pavilion stood a guard dressed as an ordinary person, which showed that His Majesty was not so reassured about the Prince's safety when going out.

The stone table was filled with steaming and delicious meals. Hua Liuli washed her hands and couldn't help but said, "Though these dishes are different from those in the palace, they are clever, which makes people's appetite greatly increase."

"It is the greatest honor for this table to be enjoyed by the princess." The prince picked up the chopsticks, "The princess, please."

As soon as Hua Liuli picked up the chopsticks, she saw King Ying brought Lin Wan over, she put down the chopsticks and stood up.

"Prince, I'm bothering you for my brother." King Ying handed the umbrella to the guard outside, and strode into the pavilion, "It's raining more and more outside, I'll bring someone in to hide, you don't mind."

The prince glanced at King Ying, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Just now, I always felt that there was a tail behind me, and I planned to ask the guards to take a look. Since it is the eldest brother, I don't have to worry about it. Come on, sit down. Bar."

King Ying frowned, why did he feel that Ji Yuansu's expression was like calling a dog

He stomped the water on his feet, walked to the prince's left and sat down. Hua Liuli glanced at Lin Wan who was still standing outside the pavilion, turned around and sat on the right hand side of the prince, leaving the empty seat next to King Ying.

But King Ying did not seem to have seen Lin Wan, and after washing his hands under the service of the eunuch, he picked it up and prepared to eat.

Are these two having a bad time

Hua Liuli didn't want to interfere in the relationship between the two, and felt embarrassed for Lin Wan to stand outside like this, so she said, "Miss Lin, although Xinghua is beautiful, it's a big meal, so I'm still enjoying it slowly. Bar."

Lin Wan walked into the pavilion with her head bowed down the steps sent by Hua Liuli, bowed to the prince, and sat quietly beside King Ying.

"This Babao Bamboo Shoot Soup is made from the tenderest bamboo shoots in spring. It has the effect of moisturizing the lungs and purifying the mind. Would you like to try it?" The prince did not care about the atmosphere between King Ying and Lin Wan. How stiff, he scooped a bowl of soup and brought it to Hua Liuli, as if the other two didn't exist at all.

Hua Liuli picked up the bowl and tasted it: "Delicious."

"Gu also likes this soup, and the rest can only be regarded as ordinary." The prince looked at the flower tree behind Hua Liuli, "But today with flowers, these ordinary meals can be swallowed."

"Huh?" Hua Liuli looked back, the petals fell on the ground like snowflakes, and a thick layer was spread on the ground. By tomorrow, these petals will be crushed together with the soil, and they will no longer be as beautiful as they are today.

She put her hand out of the pavilion, caught a few floating petals, and put the petals by the prince's hand: "Come, watch and eat."

The prince was stunned, then laughed out loud.

King Ying raised his head and saw the jade beads on Hua Liuli's earlobe swaying gently. He couldn't help but wonder, how did the Hua family raise their daughter so white and tender when the frontier conditions were so difficult

"My lord." Lin Wan picked up a piece of young bamboo shoots with chopsticks and put it in the bowl of the King of England, "You can try this."

"Miss Lin, this kind of work of serving people can be handed over to the servants." King Ying picked up the tender bamboo shoots and put them aside, "not to mention that this king is not used to eating food from others."

Lin Wan's face paled: "I offended you."

She looked at Hua Liuli subconsciously and felt a lot better when she saw that she hadn't noticed this scene.

King Ying frowned at Lin Wan: "This king is talking to you, what do you see others doing?"

"His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli put down the bowls and chopsticks, "The minister is full, go out and look at the flowers."

"Gu accompany you." The prince got up and glanced at King Ying with a smile, took an umbrella from the guard and put it on top of Hua Liuli's head.

Hua Liuli picked up the skirt and walked with the prince into the apricot blossom forest. She looked back at King Ying and Lin Wan, who were still sitting in the pavilion, and whispered, "The way that Prince Ying and Miss Lin get along...is really unique."

King Ying obviously didn't like Lin Wan very much, but what she couldn't understand was why Lin Wan was used to King Ying's bad temper and made herself so compromising.

Men sometimes just need to clean up, it is useless to follow blindly, the more they follow, the more vigorous they are. You should find the opportunity to clean up a few more times, and naturally you will be obedient and obedient, and at least know how to show face in front of outsiders.

She heard the third brother say that when Lin was young, he once scolded several officials in the court hall to be speechless. Corrupt officials would be afraid when they saw him. How could he keep his daughter's character so soft

Shouldn't he just teach his daughter to look after her husband and teach her son, to be docile and graceful

If this is the case, with the king's dog temper, she doesn't know how much grievances she will suffer after marrying the king.

The prince reached out and picked a flower, pinning it between Hua Liuli's bun: "Everyone has different choices, don't let yourself worry about other people's affairs."

"Your Highness, a flower is an apricot." Hua Liuli pretended to be serious, "What can I do?"

"Then..." The prince picked another flower, not beside the flower just now, "let his brother accompany him, so that he won't let a flower feel lonely."

"A flower... will it be very lonely?" Hua Liuli was thoughtful. Could it be that the prince remembered the woman he once loved, but the fragrance disappeared

"Yeah." The prince pointed to something: "No matter how beautiful a flower is, he will always hope that another flower will accompany him, alone... Flowers are too lonely."

"Maybe this flower wants the flowers it likes to stay on the branches, and then bear delicious fruit." Hua Liuli was shocked when she heard this, worried that the prince would be pessimistic and misanthropic. "There are so many beautiful flowers on the tree, and they are left in a cluster of beautiful flowers. Zhong Duohao, why do you want to leave with this Duohua?"

"There is so much beauty in the world." Hua Liuli comforted her heartily, "If you give up anything, you can't give up the prosperity and excitement of life. Your Highness, are you right?"

The prince put the umbrella into Hua Liuli's hand: "Gu suddenly feels a little cold, so I'll add a cape."

"Ah?" Hua Liuli held up her umbrella, and when she saw the prince turned around and turned in the other direction, the wind was indeed a bit strong today.

After a while, before the prince came back, Lin Wan came first. Her expression was calm, and there was neither joy nor anger on her face, and King Ying's actions just now didn't seem to affect her mood.

"The county master is so beautiful." Lin Wan suddenly turned her head to look at Hua Liuli, "Standing in this rain of apricot flowers, it is as beautiful as a painting. I sat in the pavilion and looked at the figure of the county master, almost lost my mind. ."

It was obviously a compliment, but Hua Liuli could hear a gloomy smell. She took two steps back: "Ms. Lin is overrated."

"The princess doesn't need to be humble, I'm just telling the truth." Lin Wan slightly raised the corners of her lips, "When you stood here just now, everyone couldn't help but look at you..."

Hua Liuli took a deep breath, why did she get sick again

She just frightened Yao Jiamin from her illness, why did this Lin Wan also fall ill? With the appearance of the King of England, it is also called the level of blue face and troubled water. Why do these two people look like she is going to rob people

Why should a woman embarrass a woman? She never met the British King alone, and she didn't even say a few words. How did she seem to express her intentions to the British King

If you can't take a man by yourself, you feel that this is the fault of all the women in the world. What is the reason for this

"Ms. Lin." Hua Liuli raised her lips and smiled, "I'm not a tolerant person, especially I don't like being insulted by others, I hope you can understand."

Lin Wan looked at Hua Liuli coldly.

Hua Liuli smiled and looked back.

"The county master is so powerful, I naturally can't afford to offend me." Lin Wan sneered, "I hope the county master can always be so powerful."

"Iris." Hua Liuli ignored Lin Wan, she waved to the maid, "Do you remember what Miss Lin said just now?"

"The slave has memorized it." Iris smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the princess, the slave has memorized it word for word."

"Just remember." Hua Liuli smiled brightly, "In a few days, we will visit Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin, and repeat Miss Lin's words. I think Lord Lin will be pleased with Miss Lin's conversational knowledge. ."

"What do you mean?" Lin Wan's expression changed.

"That's what I meant to sue." Hua Liuli tilted her head and said with a smile, "Children can't talk and offend people indiscriminately. Who would have the same knowledge as an ignorant child, of course she's looking for her adults."

"Hua Liuli!"

"Miss Lin." The prince walked over with a blank face, "Miss Lin must have a good appetite at noon today."

Lin Wan didn't expect the prince to come over suddenly. She looked a little flustered, and bowed and stepped aside: "My minister... I don't understand what His Royal Highness means."

"If you don't have a good appetite and eat a lot, how can you have the strength to yell at the princess who was conferred by the royal family?" The prince looked at Lin Wan coldly. His whole figure is like an unsheathed cold sword, making people dare not look directly at him.

"Lord Lin Zhou is a good official. Miss Lin should not ruin his reputation." The prince's eyes were cold. "In the future, I will be a princess. If you can't speak and do things, don't marry into the royal family."

Hua Liuli saw that the spring rain was getting denser and denser, and the prince did not hold an umbrella, so she quickly raised the umbrella to cover the crown of the prince. She found that her height was a little different from the prince, and she needed to stand on tiptoe so as not to affect the prince's sight.

The warm hand was on the umbrella rib: "Let Gu come."

Hua Liuli quickly let go and asked a kind and lovely girl to hold an umbrella for a tall person. It was too tiring.

Lin Wan, who was holding an umbrella, felt cold all over her body. Her teeth were chattering slightly. She didn't know whether she was really cold or scared. She was afraid that Hua Liuli would really go back and complain, and that the prince would tell His Majesty that she did not have the virtue of being a princess.

She couldn't accept that she couldn't become a British princess in the future, and she could only marry a shabby fate like her father.

With red eyes, she knelt down and wept softly, "I beg Your Highness and the county master to forgive your sins."

"What's wrong?" When King Ying walked over, he saw his future princess kneeling in front of the crown prince, his face was a little ugly. In any case, Lin Wan is his future wife and the prince's future sister-in-law.

What will it look like when the sister-in-law kneels in front of the brother-in-law in the future

"It's all the minister's fault." Hua Liuli bit her lower lip, her eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if she was hiding infinite grievances, but she just refused to say it, "The minister and Miss Lin misunderstood each other and made each other a little bit. Unhappy, after His Royal Highness came over, he said a few words to Miss Lin. I never thought that Miss Lin would feel so guilty and kneel down to apologize to His Highness and the courtiers."

Hua Liuli's face turned pale, as if she was frightened by Miss Lin's actions, but she still said to King Ying thoughtfully: "Fortunately, you are here, my lord, please persuade Miss Lin to get up quickly."

This pot is big and round. If the prince is allowed to carry it, it will definitely make the brothers even more disagreeable. It is better to let her carry it.

"It turned out to be just a misunderstanding of words." King Ying suddenly realized, he looked down at Lin Wan, "Then why are you kneeling to make people look good? Why don't you get up quickly, wait to change your clothes, and the mother-in-law invites you at night. You will stay in the palace for two days."

"Thank you for your tolerance." Lin Wan's hand hidden in the sleeve, her fingernails deeply sunk into the palm, she slowly stood up, looked down at the mud on the skirt, and said to King Ying: " Your Highness, the ministers and daughters go back to the palace to change clothes, and then go to the palace to meet the empress, okay?"

"As you wish." The King of England glanced at the prince, "The rain in the mountains is getting heavier and heavier, and the county master is not healthy, so it is not advisable to stay in the mountains for a long time. Moreover, if the rain falls again, the mountain road will become slippery and difficult to travel. Go down the mountain early."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me, the minister and daughter have written it down." Hua Liuli noticed that Lin Wan's cool eyes fell on her again.

She sighed silently in her heart and hid behind the prince. It's good to have someone around you who is taller, at least to cover a wider area.

King Ying glanced at Hua Liuli and bowed his hands to the prince: "Prince, I'll say goodbye first."

"Brother, walk slowly." The prince glanced at Lin Wan expressionlessly. Lin Wan dared not meet the prince's gaze, and buried his head even lower.

When King Ying took Lin Wan away, the crown prince said to Hua Liuli: "Then let's go down the mountain too. There is a lake near the suburbs of Beijing. The scenery is the best in rainy days. You can go there by horse carriage. Would you like to go see it?"

"Go." Hua Liuli nodded, accompanied by beautiful women, it was the same to enjoy the lake and flowers.

Halfway down the mountain, the two met the fifth prince with a painting tube in his hand. The fifth prince's eyes lit up when he saw Hua Liuli. He bowed to the prince in a proper manner, and then looked at Hua Liuli with burning eyes: "Fu Shou County Lord, I made a new painting today, and I also asked the County Lord to comment."

Hua Liuli: "..."

Young man, you look at me with such trusting eyes, I am also very embarrassed.

"Then the servant girl dared to look at it." Forget it, forget it, the other party is the prince, she still has to hold it.

The two little eunuchs carefully opened the scroll, and the fifth prince quickly covered his umbrella over the painting, fearing that the merciless spring rain would wet his masterpiece.

Hua Liuli took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to look over.

What is this drawing

A bunch of heavier ink balls mixed with lighter ink balls to be friendly friends

"County Master, what do you think of this view of Qingshan Mountain?" The fifth prince looked at Hua Liuli expectantly.

The crown prince glanced at Hua Liuli with a half-smile, and silently took a step back, pretending to look at the sky and the earth, just not looking at the painting of the fifth prince.

"This painting..." Hua Liuli pondered for a moment, "When His Highness wrote the brush, it was dark and light, and the parts with heavy colors were like the majestic and majestic green mountains, and the light parts were like the wind in the mountains, The fog, the rain in the mountains, and the intangible spiritual energy. Looking at people through paintings, ministers and daughters thought that His Highness was like a mountain, but his state of mind was like a comfortable white cloud, and he was an upright gentleman."

"The county master is wrong." The fifth prince's cheeks were slightly red, and the eunuch asked the eunuch to carefully put away the painting, "But the county master is right, I want to be the clouds in the mountains, the wind in the mountains, and not be disturbed by worldly ambitions. ."

Hua Liuli turned her head to look at the prince: "Your Highness, is what the minister said right?"

At a time like this, she can't be left to rack her brains for compliments alone.

"The princess is right." The prince smiled, "I am very reasonable, the princess, and I agree with the view of the princess."

"The prince is also someone who understands his subjects and younger brothers." The fifth prince was even more happy, he said, "Please wait, I will make two new paintings for you when I go back."

Hua Liuli: "..."

No, not really.

"You have the fifth brother." The prince looked as usual, "Then you go back to paint earlier, and look forward to your works."

"My brother will not disappoint the prince." The elegant and perfect fifth prince, after hearing the prince's encouragement, trotted down the mountain without even using an umbrella.

From childhood to adulthood, the prince seldom praised him. Today, he praised him so gently and encouraged him. It must be because his paintings are too artistic, which made the prince appreciate it.

He really has an incomparable talent for painting.

Looking at the happy back of the fifth prince, Hua Liuli's mood is very complicated, the royal family's children... how wonderful. But the fifth prince just said that he wanted to be a cloud and wind. Was it sincere, or did he intend to tell the prince? She glanced at the prince secretly, couldn't see what he was thinking, and simply gave up.

The rainy mountain road was really not easy to walk. The prince slipped and almost fell. Hua Liuli quickly reached out and grabbed his belt, dragging him back.

The prince looked at Dazzling Liuli's hand and suddenly smiled: "If you care, you will be confused. I didn't expect the princess to show such great strength in order to save the orphan."

"Cough cough." Hua Liuli covered her chest, "I didn't even think about it, it can be seen that people's potential is infinite." She took a pill handed over by Iris and took a pill, "His Royal Highness is fine, the minister can rest assured. "

When they got to the bottom of the mountain, the two did not share a carriage, and Hua Liuli was relieved when she lay in the carriage.

So beautiful, why can't she control this hand? There are so many people around the prince who serve him, and it is impossible for him to fall.

"County Lord, fortunately you are not a king." Iris shook her head and said, "If you are a king, Jiangshan will sooner or later be defeated because of your lust."

Hua Liuli: "Iris, you're so straightforward, I'm very embarrassed."

"Beauty is in front of you, what face do you want?" Yu Rong also smiled and said, "I don't want it anymore."

"Hey, my name is Lianxiangxiyu, how can you understand my mood?" Hua Liuli whispered, "What's more, the person whom the prince liked has already died, and he hasn't come out of this past relationship, I'm afraid He can't think about it, so he can only persuade him more."

If something goes wrong with the prince, it will affect the entire country, and the people of the world will suffer. Therefore, what she reached out to save was not the beauty, but the future of the entire Dajin.

So she is noble and great.

The carriage traveled for a while and stopped. Hua Liuli lifted the curtain and glanced out. The surrounding scenery was ordinary. Where can there be a beautiful lake

"arrive?"

"Master, there is still a while." The guard said, "There is a quarry ahead, and the road is a little uneven. Please sit down with the girl who is waiting for you."

"Okay." Hua Liuli nodded: "Thank you."

"Don't dare." The guard asked the driver to continue on his way.

After a while, the carriage really became bumpy, Hua Liuli lifted the curtain curiously, many bare stones lay on both sides of the road, and a group of quarry prisoners hid in the shelter, standing orderly, not daring to make a sound. Noisy them as they pass by.

Another prisoner crouched outside the shelter, looking out of place with the other prisoners.

The prisoner seemed to see Hua Liuli, and suddenly stood up: "Master, please help." He seemed to want to run this way, but after being whipped by the jailer, he stopped in fear, but still Calling Hua Liuli hoarsely.

"Stop." Hua Liuli stopped the carriage, she asked the jailer to bring the prisoner closer, and took a closer look.

Messy hair, unkempt, this... Who

"The county master, I'm Yun Han, the qin master." The prisoner was walking on straw sandals, and his thin body was covered in a dirty rough short jacket. He looked like someone who hadn't eaten enough for a long time.

"Are you... Yun Han?" Hua Liuli looked at the person from head to toe. No wonder people always say that people are all wooden stakes because of their clothes. This Yun Han is wearing rags and has a dusty temperament on his body. It disappeared without a trace, and the dirty face was no longer as white as it was a few days ago, so it was no longer beautiful.

"County Lord, these prison guards abused lynching, please save my life." Although he only stayed in the Dali Temple dungeon for two days, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Please the county master Mingcha, the prisoners of Dali Temple are going to come out to do things to justify their crimes." The jailer did not know which county owner was sitting in the carriage, but he did not dare to neglect, "This person is used to cheating and slipping, and does not do much work. , eats a lot, and refuses to obey discipline, we can't do anything about whipping him, we didn't deliberately target him."

"Mr. Yunhan, Dali Temple has the rules of Dali Temple. Although I am the county owner, I cannot interfere in political affairs. The officials of Dali Temple are all geniuses in investigating and solving cases. I believe they will find out the truth of the matter and let it be There is a perfect result." Hua Liuli looked at the dirty straw sandals on Yun Han's feet, "The days in prison are a bit hard..."

A hope rose in Yun Han's heart.

"However, the days to come are still long, so if you stay for a while, you will get used to it." Hua Liuli handed out a plate of cakes from the car window, "Come on, eat more, and then you will have the strength to work after eating."

Yun Han stared at the plate of cakes and took it with shaking hands: "Since it was said by the county master, then I believe it."

"That's right." Hua Liuli nodded, "Make a good transformation and try to come out as soon as possible." After speaking, she put down the curtain and said to the guard, "Let's go."

When Hua Liuli and the others left, the prisoners who were honestly staying in the shelter swarmed up and snatched the cakes from Yun Han's hands.

"I thought this little white face would have the ability to fish himself out."

"It turned out to be a plate of pastries."

"The princess of the county is right, make a good transformation and try to go out as soon as possible."

A group of people laughed and laughed wantonly, but did not dare to talk about the county master at will. They are all senior prisoners in Dali Temple, they can say what they can't say, and one is as smart as a mouse.

The prince leaned lazily against the wall of the car, in a good mood.

How to break the good side of one person in another

Show his ugliest side completely.

The prettiest and most charming luthier

Ah.
