Hua Liuli's expression froze for a moment when she heard the third brother mention this thing that she had put down for the time being.
"What's wrong?" Hua Changkong noticed that the little sister's expression was not right.
"It's alright, don't mention the past." Hua Liuli took a deep breath, "Before my double ten, I don't need to think about it."
"That's fine." Hua Changkong nodded with a look of relief, "It's not good for you to be addicted to beauty at a young age."
"Third brother, you didn't say that before." Hua Liuli looked at him blankly.
"If it wasn't to make you happy, I wouldn't want to speak against my conscience." Hua Changkong breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming to the capital, he was worried that the prosperity and excitement of the capital would make the little girl lose herself. A little girl in the capital has never done anything other than being noisy.
Now even the bad habit of indulging in beauty has changed, which is a good thing.
"It's rare that you changed your mind, who made you figure it out?" The little girl suddenly changed her mind, there must be a reason.
"I chatted with His Royal Highness the Prince a few days ago..."
"You don't need to say any more, I already understand." Hua Changkong sighed inwardly, why was he no longer addicted to beauty, he was clearly blinded by beauty, and he didn't even want to face the capital.
He knew that his little sister was not so worried.
"Third Brother..."
"You don't need to explain, the third brother understands." Hua Changkong patted her on the shoulder, "Go to bed early."
Hope that the little sister is not interested in beauty, he might as well go to bed earlier and dream, there is everything in the dream.
Hua Liuli held her face: "But I can't sleep, why don't you chat with me?"
Hua Changkong, who just stood up, sat back and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Tell me about His Royal Highness, such as his past, and what he likes on weekdays." Maybe it's because the prince looks too good-looking, or maybe it's because he gets along very well with the prince, and he often spends time in the palace. Going to the East Palace to eat and drink, Hua Liuli held a different kind of pity for the prince.
"I suddenly feel sleepy again." Hua Changkong yawned, stood up and said, "I have to study books tomorrow, so I won't accompany you."
Hua Liuli: "..."
Sure enough, men are fickle, including their own brothers.
The more Hua Changkong thought about it, the more worried she became. The little girl even wanted to know what the prince liked. Could it be that he was fascinated by the prince
In terms of appearance, the appearance of the prince is the pinnacle of the royal family.
In terms of wisdom, the other princes can't compare to him.
In terms of favorability, no one in the entire capital knew that His Majesty's most favored son was the Crown Prince.
There are many rumors about the prince's relationship between men and women. It is said that there was a little girl who wanted to seduce the prince, but was ridiculed ruthlessly by the prince: "She doesn't look so good, how can I be confused by you when I look in the mirror on a lonely day?"
Later, a beautiful lady wanted to approach the prince, but the prince pointed to the pheasant on the tree in front of others and said, "Look at the birds on the tree, do they look like a pheasant while scratching their heads?"
The noble girl was so angry that she covered her face, but the prince took the bow and arrow, shot the pheasant, pulled out the tail of the pheasant and made a fan, and deliberately took out the fan in front of the noble girl's father and played with it. .
From then on, even though the prince's appearance was unparalleled, few noble girls dared to approach him. A good noble lady is not right, who wants to be a pheasant.
However, because of this, rumors about the prince's harsh words spread, and people complained in private from time to time. How long can His Majesty tolerate him for being so domineering
Hua Changkong doesn't care when His Majesty can tolerate the prince. He is worried that when his sister is with the prince, one is cheap and the other is cheap, and they will definitely be killed or injured when they are together.
He walked around the house twice and ran to his parents' yard.
At this time, Hua Yingting and Wei Mingyue hadn't slept yet. The husband and wife were admiring the moon. Seeing their son coming over to disrupt the atmosphere, Hua Yingting coughed dryly, put down the glass and said, "Changkong, what are you doing here so late?"
"There's something important." Hua Changkong squeezed under the table, smelled the wine, and couldn't help but say, "Father, I remember you said back then that you were going to keep this jar of wine for my wife to drink."
"I've been waiting for you for almost 20 years, and you haven't brought a daughter-in-law back. It's a waste to keep this wine. Why don't I drink it with your mother." Hua Yingting secretly drank it confidently, and by the way, helped his daughter-in-law to fill the wine glass .
Hua Changkong was speechless. The people who stole the drink were his parents. What could he do? He could only pour wine for the two elders with a smile: "The boy came here today for the sake of the younger sister."
"What can you do with your little sister?" Hua Yingting took a sip of wine. "She's been good-natured and smart since she was a child, and she's likable."
Taking a look at the second old man's trusting attitude towards the younger sister, Hua Changkong said, "The younger sister is nothing at all, but it's a matter of her being attracted to the prince."
He thought that the second old man would be shocked and surprised when he said this, but what he didn't expect was that his father just took the opportunity to drink two more glasses of wine.
"This incident really surprised me. I drank two glasses of wine to overwhelm my shock." After drinking the third cup, Hua Yingting was glared by Wei Mingyue before he put down the wine glass angrily.
From his father's calm face, Hua Changkong could not see the slightest surprise.
"I already know about the fact that Liuli and the prince are very close." Wei Mingyue said, "Liuli is still young, and her mind is not yet determined. We are too much control as family, but it is not good."
"She has watched a lot of life and death at border gates since she was a child. In her heart, she felt resistance to things like sticking to each other." Wei Mingyue sighed, "It's up to her, whether it's the prince or the others."
No one can control the separation of life and death. After seeing it too much and seeing it, you will not yearn for love, but rather fear it.
Perhaps in Liuli's heart, instead of being heartbroken for one person, it is better to stay away from love, live free, and die free and easy.
"But your Majesty's side..." Hua Changkong was a little worried.
"Your Majesty likes the openness of the people around you, and the more magnanimous he is, the more trust he trusts, and it is not good to hide it." Hua Yingting knew the character of Emperor Changlong very well, "Your Majesty is different from other emperors, so you don't have to worry too much. ."
Hua Changkong remembered all the rumors outside, and nodded solemnly: "My child knows."
The second-year-old knew His Majesty when he was young, and he should understand His Majesty's character and thoughts better than him. Since they said that there is no problem, it must be no problem.
"But it's not completely without problems." Wei Mingyue said again, "Prince has a distinguished status, and your sister is... maverick, you know."
The three looked at each other and fell silent at the same time, their hearts filled with melancholy.
"If your sister can't hold back for a while and moves her hands on the prince, how should I explain it to your majesty?"
At this time in Chenyang Palace, Emperor Changlong sighed at the moon.
"Sancai, do you think what I've done is right or wrong?" Emperor Changlong frowned. He actually knew his child's temperament. No matter how eccentric he was, he couldn't say against his conscience that the prince was a gentle, considerate and tolerant person. Good man at heart.
The little girl in the Hua family is delicate and weak, she can fall down when the wind blows, can she stand the prince's mouth
If he didn't come up in one breath, he was so pissed off, where would he find a daughter to give back to Ying Ting
"Hey, how can you tell me about this marriage?" Because of this, Emperor Changlong lost a lot of hair.
He could never walk directly in front of Hua Yingting, and said loudly: "Yo, Aiqing, although my eldest son doesn't like your daughter, but my third son likes her, why don't we find a better day? , did they get married?"
Even if he dared to think about Hua Yingting's reaction, he didn't dare to think about Wei Mingyue's attitude.
Even an emperor can't be shameless, not to mention Hua Liuli's mother, Wei Mingyue!
"Your Majesty, although this old slave doesn't understand the matter of love, but this old slave still understands a little bit." Zhao Sancai said, "Men in the world are ruthless, that is because he has not met a woman who makes him infatuated. If he does, he will naturally be willing to. In front of her, I restrained my usual habits, and I just hope that she will show a smile."
"If there is really a woman who can make him sensible, I can wake up laughing when I fall asleep in the middle of the night." Emperor Changlong always suspected that he was too good to his sons, which made them more unreliable, boring, and stupid. He was so stupid, so strange, he finally got someone he liked, but he was always lazy. If he tried his best, he would ask his old father to go out and wipe his ass.
The queen mother always persuaded him to wait until the child became a parent.
But if they let them marry a girl casually, not only will it not get better, I'm afraid it will be even more tossing. For example, regarding the eldest's marriage, he originally thought that Lin Zhou was once the champion, and he was popular with the people when he was the prefect of Yongzhou. The daughter who was brought up must be smart and clever, and he could complement each other with the eldest.
It turned out that the girl was indeed smart, she was simply too smart. Before she became a princess, she first considered whether the future of the courtier was good or bad.
The second child only knows how to eat, drink and drink all day long. He has no opinion. What the boss does with the crown prince, he will do what he does. His brain is not as good as the boss.
The fourth child couldn't say a word for a long time, and his gloomy personality didn't know who to follow.
The fifth looked quite good, with a graceful demeanor, showing the style of a prince in every gesture. But as soon as the child mentioned painting, he was completely abnormal.
Being an emperor is tiring, being an old father is tiring, and being a man is not easy.
Emperor Changlong sighed with emotion countless times in his heart.
"His Royal Highness, what are you looking for?" The private library of the East Palace was filled with precious antiques and jewels. Several eunuchs in the East Palace who were serving closely helped His Highness to rummage through the gift list from nine years ago, and finally found a box with words such as housewarming gifts in a corner.
"Is this a housewarming gift from General Hua's family when Gu moved to the East Palace?" The prince glanced at the quaint box and opened the lid.
Although there are many things in the private library, the eunuchs clean it all day and have not accumulated any dust. Because no one has opened it all the year round, some things in the box have become a bit old.
The prince bent over in the corner of the box and picked up two small Fuwa dolls.
"How can General Hua send this kind of thing in?" A close eunuch's expression changed drastically. This kind of gadget, except for the people who waited on the prince's side, no one else would send these in.
One is that this kind of thing is easy to manipulate. There was a prince who received this kind of doll in the previous dynasty, and finally it was discovered that there was a cursed rune in the belly of the doll. Therefore, in this dynasty, although there are no express regulations, the courtiers will not give things to the prince Longsun unless they are very close.
The second is that the things the prince uses are all made of the best materials. A doll made of ordinary cotton cloth like this is really hard to be elegant.
"Why not?" The prince looked over the two lucky dolls. The dolls were made of good workmanship and had a chubby face. At first glance, they were very lucky. The belly is also soft. When you pinch it, you can know that there is no foreign matter in it. It feels soft and delicate, which is very suitable for children to hold and play.
"Very cute doll, I like it." The prince got up and walked out of the private library, and put the doll in his bedroom.
The dolls are so cute. When Liuli secretly stuffed them into the box, they must have been cuter.
If only he had discovered these two dolls earlier back then.
The dolls are a man and a woman. After they were put together, the prince looked more and more pleasing to the eye, and called the person who was waiting around him: "Find someone to make a house for them, and make the house more beautiful."
"His Royal Highness, what room?" The eunuch was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect His Highness to be so big, and he actually liked playing with dolls.
"The marriage room." The prince said inscrutable, "I'll make them a wedding dress."
Eunuch: "Slave wrote it down."
When the eunuch retired, the prince stretched out his hand and poked the little doll's face: "Your master, gave you all to Gu, how should Gu repay?"
He adjusted the position of the dolls so that their faces were next to each other.
"It's better... let's promise each other."
As the most famous Taoist priest in the capital, the real person of Qinghui is respected by countless people. Some rich people spend a lot of money in order to ask Qinghui to help them look at the picture.
Knowing that Qinghui Zhenren was going to preside over the dharma meeting, countless people wanted to attend, but when they went to the foot of the mountain, they saw that there were heavy troops guarding them, and they guessed that there were noble people participating in the dharma meeting this time, and they could only drink tea and eat at the foot of the mountain. Feel the lively atmosphere of the puja.
Every time this kind of puja is held, the nearby hawkers are the happiest. They set up their stalls and occupy their seats early in the morning. They can make a lot of money by relying on these people watching the fun at the foot of the mountain.
The Taoist priests of the Taoist temple are also very considerate of everyone's mentality of wanting to watch the excitement, so they set up a stage at the foot of the mountain to perform some boxing and swordsmanship.
In the carriage, Jiamin looked at Hua Liuli with a sleepy face, and couldn't help but say, "What did you do last night to sleep so late?"
"I dreamed of a beauty." Hua Liuli yawned, she smelled the fragrance of the food, and opened her sleepy eyes, "Arrived?"
"It's coming soon." Jiamin lifted the curtain and glanced at it, pointing to a few children running around, "Children are more energetic than you."
"You're right, why don't I go back to sleep?"
"I mean, you have worked hard to come to the Fa conference." Jiamin was afraid that Hua Liuli would really go home, so she hurriedly persuaded her, "I've come here, it's too much trouble to go back."
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the guards looked at Dazzling Liuli and Jiamin's badges and bowed to let them go up the mountain.
"Sister Jiamin." Hua Liuli took two steps and looked at Jiamin with a smile: "You know, I'm weak and weak..."
Jiamin looked at the high stone steps and Hua Liuli's outstretched hand, her eyes full of rejection.
"Liu Li." A plain white handkerchief fell into Hua Liuli's palm, and the warm palm held Hua Liuli's hand across the handkerchief.
"I'll pull you up." The prince looked at Hua Liuli, "Jiamin is a girl and can't take care of you well."
Jiamin silently took two steps to the side, you are the prince, what you say is what you say. She quickly glanced around and made sure that there were no other noble children of aristocratic families behind her, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No, the prince and Hua Liuli are holding hands. What is she worried about
"Come on." The prince smiled at Hua Liuli, and the good-looking smile made Hua Liuli's heart itch, how could she be willing to break free
The prince walked very slowly, he whispered to Hua Liuli: "You gave Gu's doll, Gu likes it very much."
"Your Highness, have you found them?" Hua Liuli was a little surprised.
"Because it was a gift from the two generals, Gu has never been willing to let people store things separately." The prince looked back at her. "Fortunately, I didn't do this, so I let Gu see this gift from many years ago."
"I was too young to understand anything at that time." Hua Liuli laughed, "Fortunately, I didn't cause trouble, otherwise..."
"If it was the orphan back then, I would have liked them very much." The prince clenched Hua Liuli's hand, and even though there was a handkerchief, he could still feel the softness and warmth of Hua Liuli's palm, "That is the most sincere little girl. Blessings, how can I be reluctant not to like it?"
Hearing these words in Hua Liuli's ears, she was inexplicably embarrassed, and she felt somewhat indescribable satisfaction.
Anyone who can cherish the small gifts of their youth and ignorance will be moved by this.
His Royal Highness is really a rare gentle man.
"Gu's people will make them beautiful houses and beautiful clothes. When you enter the palace next time, Gu will take you to see them." The prince paused slightly, and he saw the British king and the second princess standing in front of him.
The King of England looked at the hands that the two held together, and his eyes widened a little.
"The main body of Fushou County is weak, so I will send her up together." Facing his siblings, the prince's expression lightened a bit, and the hand holding Hua Liuli did not loosen.
Before King Ying could speak, the second princess took the lead and said, "Prince is so considerate, just now we heard Master Qinghui say that you would come, so we stood outside the door and waited, please."
The second princess gave way to the side to show her respect for the prince.
She noticed Jiamin who was following behind, and was a little surprised: "Jiamin, you came here with... the Crown Prince and Princess Fushou?"
Isn't Jiamin always at odds with Hua Liuli and is far from the prince? Why did the three of them come together today
Princess Shun'an has been supporting the concubine Xian's concubine Xian's wife all these years, and she is quite critical of the prince. Their family should not get too close to the prince.
Could it be that... Princess Shun An had already taken refuge with the Crown Prince in private
No wonder the Empress Dowager ordered Jiamin to live in the palace a few days ago. Jiamin didn't go to Lincui Palace to visit Concubine Xian. It turned out that she had found a new backer.
Countless thoughts passed through her mind, but the second princess didn't show any sign on her face, and walked side by side with Jiamin affectionately: "I haven't seen you come to play with us these days, but you are entangled by other things?"
Jiamin glanced at Hua Liuli, she accompanies Hua Liuli every day, how can she still have time to play with other little sisters? But this kind of shameful thing, she couldn't say it, so she said vaguely: "Well, something has stumbled recently."
"So it is." The second princess noticed that Jiamin secretly glanced at Dazzling Liuli, and her guess became clearer. The Princess Shun'an's mansion really turned to the prince, and I am afraid that even the Yao family is biased towards the East Palace.
She restrained the smile from the corner of her mouth, raised her head and looked at the King of England in front of her, her heart turning back and forth, but she didn't say a word.
"How come the prince is with Fushou County Master?" King Ying looked away uncomfortably when he saw Hua Liuli's fair face, showing a faint pink color because he climbed the stairs.
It was only a few steps away, and her face was so red that the physique of the little girl in the Hua family was too weak.
"It just happened to happen, the stone steps are steep, Gu is worried that the county master will fall, only by supporting him can he be at ease." The prince walked slowly along with Hua Liuli's pace, "Gu remembers the big brother doesn't seem to believe this, today How come?"
"You can come, but I can't come?" King Ying said in a strange voice, "Is this Taoist temple unique to you?" He couldn't tell the prince that he was driven by his concubine to seek marriage, right?
"Big brother is right, it's a slap in the face." The prince smiled softly and apologized.
The King of England was frightened by his attitude, Prince today... Are you alright
In the past, as long as he faced off against the prince, he would suffer every time, and there were no exceptions.
Will the prince apologize
of course not.
Will the crown prince let him just because he is the eldest
Dreaming is easier than the prince let him.
But today he not only let him, but also looked very easy to talk. How disgusting is that gentle and tolerant attitude, is this a new way to deal with him
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became. King Ying glared at the prince with a sullen face, and stopped talking.
"Big brother has always been like this, and there is no malice." The prince turned his head and smiled at Hua Liuli, "You don't have to worry about it."
Hua Liuli looked at the King of England and then at the Crown Prince, but did not speak.
King Ying was confused, and he didn't say that Fushou County Master was not good. Why should Fushou County Master take it to heart? He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't see what was wrong.
Is it because the prince is not normal today, making him think too much
"Wait until Gu is going to light the longevity lamp for the emperor, do you want to be with Gu?" Seeing that the stairs were about to be climbed, the prince walked more and more slowly, "If you don't want to go, Gu let someone accompany you to walk around."
"Let's go together." Hua Liuli said, "Let's go together."
"it is good."
Crossing the last step, the prince looked down at the hands that the two held together, slowly released his palm, and hid his hand in his sleeve: "Let's go, before the ceremony begins. , let's go light the lights first."
The King of England hesitated and followed.
When they arrived at the Dharma Hall, a Taoist priest greeted them and instructed them on the precautions for lighting the lamps.
"Xianxin, what kind of lamp do you want to light?" A young Taoist priest walked up to Hua Liuli and saluted.
"Just light a rebirth lamp." Hua Liuli took out the banknote and lit the most expensive rebirth lamp.
"For whom is good faith?"
The Prince and the King of England turned their heads together, and the lanterns of death were all lit for the deceased.
Hua Liuli looked up at the statue of Master Sanqing, and stepped forward to give a big salute to the statue: "Ordered for the soldiers who sacrificed on the battlefield."
"My Dajin has been in good weather, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. I hope they can reincarnate as my Dajin people and have a peaceful life." After the ceremony, Hua Liuli stood up from the futon, and she heard the prince say, "Let Gu also order for them. Last light, okay?"
"Okay." Hua Liuli smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness."
With one more light, the children's afterlife will be brighter and smoother.
