The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Hu Tiehua was stunned for a while.

He has always beaten him to death and refused to admit that Chu Liuxiang is more handsome and attractive than himself, but there are so many blind girls in the world, as long as he stands with Chu Liuxiang, he will rarely be favored.

As for Ji Bingyan, apart from seeing him say a few nice words for Gao Yanan more than seven years ago, this man doesn't seem to have tolerance for other women.So he doesn't care whether women see him or not.

So Hu Tiehua felt that if the princess had a crush on anyone among them, it would be Chu Liuxiang out of ten.

However, since Hu Tiehua saw Princess Pipa for the first time, no, when he didn't know she was a princess, he was already fascinated by her.

The clothes she wore were like the light clouds in the sky, and her person was like a nimble lark.When she plays the pipa, every finger is full of intoxicating magic.

Hu Tiehua didn't know what it was like to love someone.All he knew was that when he saw the princess, he couldn't think of anyone else or anything else. He just wanted to sit there and listen to her play the pipa quietly.

If Situ Liuxing told them that the person who came to propose marriage was Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua would definitely be the first to jump out and object.Even if the princess doesn't like her, she must expose the old bug's past affairs in front of everyone, lest such a good princess be fooled.

But now the person the princess secretly promised is Huamanlou.

The flowers that are as soft as moonlight and warm as the spring breeze are pure and sincere, excellent and tranquil.It seems that no matter when and where, there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people forget all their troubles when they see it.

Such a person, even Hu Tiehua himself couldn't help but like it.How could he think that the princess chose the wrong person?

Hu Tiehua turned her head a little stiffly, and met Chu Liuxiang's eyes first.He suddenly felt very happy, because the bewilderment on Chu Liuxiang's face seemed to be more obvious than his own.

So he laughed, embraced Hua Manlou affectionately, and said, "Princess really has a good eye, doesn't she? For someone like Playboy, she won't be able to meet another one in 100 years."

Hua Manlou let out a dry cough and said, "Brother Hu..."

But his voice was immediately suppressed by Hu Tiehua's loud voice.Hu Tiehua stared at Situ Liuxing and said: "But we have to say it in advance. Although she is the princess, she can't use her power to overwhelm others and bully playboys. Although our little flower is gentle, these elder brothers are all big and rough. Why don't you care about the royal family and not the royal family, if you dare to provoke us, you will beat us!"

What he said was straightforward, rude, almost threatening, but Ji Bingyan immediately nodded and said, "That's right."

Seeing that Ji Bingyan, who always loved to rob her, agreed with her, Hu Tiehua was even more proud, and raised her chin at Situ Liuxing.However, Situ Liuxing still smiled and said: "What is Hero Hu talking about! The princess has a gentle temperament, and she treats the playboy... cough cough, how can you make things difficult for the playboy when you fall in love at first sight? The king also said that he will definitely treat the playboy as a family." People look at it. And the king has no children, and the tradition of the Kucha Kingdom is that the princess can inherit the throne. Isn't the playboy also the king of the country?"

Hu Tiehua was stunned, then stared at Huamanlou and said, "I didn't expect Xiaohua to have such good luck, I'm going to be jealous of you!"

Although he yelled jealousy, the smile on his face was even more joyful.Just because he thought that such a perfect person as Hua Manlou was worthy of such an identity, he was sincerely happy.

Hua Manlou coughed again, but still didn't speak.His expression seemed a little confused, a little unbelieving, and a little faintly worried.It's just that he didn't know how to speak in the conversation where everyone was talking to each other.

Listening to Situ Liuxing's words, Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "According to the tradition of the Kucha Kingdom, which princess will inherit the throne?"

Situ Liuxing smiled and said: "This is the same as our Central Plains, it is arranged according to the order of seniority. The king has two daughters, so the eldest princess is the prince."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Then Mr. Situ who came to propose marriage is also the eldest princess?"

Situ Liuxing said: "It is the eldest princess, Princess Jialing."

This time Hu Tiehua was also surprised and said: "Princess Jialing? Isn't it Princess Pipa?"

Situ Liuxing said: "Princess Jialing is three years older than Princess Pipa, and she will be twenty this year. Naturally, it is the elder sister who proposes marriage first, and the younger sister can get married."

Hu Tiehua breathed a sigh of relief suddenly, and laughed loudly: "So, this wedding wine should be arranged earlier, don't waste it, and delay the youth of the other princess!"

Situ Liuxing said happily: "So, do you agree to this marriage?"

Hu Tiehua said: "What is there to disagree with? Go and ask the king, when is the wedding date? Although the sooner the better, you can't be too rash."

Situ Liuxing said repeatedly: "This is natural, this is natural!"

He went out with a happy face, and Hu Tiehua was still waving his hands behind him, as if he was a little happier than he was getting married.

Ji Bingyan looked at Huamanlou and said, "Have you seen this princess?"

Hua Manlou seemed to be still in a daze, but it took a long time to understand, nodded and said: "When Sun Kong and Du Huan came, the princess was with the princess."

As soon as Hu Tiehua turned back, she immediately shouted: "So that's it! You have saved the princess' life, no wonder she took a fancy to you at the first glance!"

Hua Manlou blushed, but sighed softly.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at him intently, and said, "You already knew about the marriage proposal, didn't you?"

Hua Manlou was taken aback, as if he heard some dissatisfaction and accusations from this short sentence.He didn't understand why Chu Liuxiang was so angry, but felt a little guilty for no reason. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. After you and Brother Hong left, the princess just asked me to thank you again. But the princess asked me my name and age, and my family's birthday." Where, who else is there at home?"

Chu Liuxiang sneered and said, "I even asked about age and family background, don't you understand?"

This sentence was like a knife, hard, cold, and sharp, Hua Manlou couldn't help taking a step back.Hu Tiehua couldn't see it, and came up and shouted: "Old bug, why are you jealous! Don't all the girls in the world only have a crush on you? You keep saying that Xiaohua is your younger brother. If you are not happy for him, you will be happy for such a happy event. Get angry!"

Ji Bingyan also frowned, looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "We share the same hatred with King Qiuci. With this relationship, it will be more convenient for us to act. No matter who is married, it is a gratifying thing."

Chu Liuxiang was silent, her finger was already on the bridge of her nose, and she didn't speak for a long time.

Hu Tiehua sighed, pulled his arm and said: "You don't seem to be such a narrow-minded person. Although Xiaohua is our friend, but he has a home, we should be happy for him, we can't force him to play bachelor with us Bar?"

Chu Liuxiang's body shook, and she put down her hands, with a sincere smile on her face.He nodded, looked deeply at Huamanlou and said, "It's because I can't think about it for a while, so don't take it to heart."

Although Hua Manlou couldn't see his expression, she could feel his sincere tone, so she also smiled and said, "It's nothing. As long as you don't get angry with me..."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly interrupted this sentence with a smile, then put his arms around Hua Manlou's shoulders, and said loudly, "Why are you so angry, I should congratulate you!"

When he said this, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan also laughed, pulling Hua Manlou and saying "Congratulations" continuously.Even Dianhong, who had been sitting in the corner, stepped forward at this moment, looked at Huamanlou and said, "Congratulations."

Hua Manlou forced a smile and said, "Thank you. It's just me..."

Hu Tiehua suddenly shouted: "Isn't it, everyone is tired all day, I'm going to sleep!"

When he shouted, everyone came to their senses, and after a while, they all went back to their rooms.Hua Manlou heard them leaving with a whimper, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably uneasy, and couldn't help but sighed deeply.

A little red voice sounded immediately behind him: "Are you unhappy?"

Hua Manlou pondered for a while before saying, "I don't know either. Should I be happy?"

Yidianhong said: "Those who are going to get married should be happy."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "It seems that you know a lot."

A little red said: "I don't understand. I just think you are unhappy."

Hua ManLou paused, then murmured and repeated: "I'm not happy...why am I not happy?"

A little red did not answer, and walked out silently.

◇ ◆ ◇

Chu Liuxiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He couldn't tell what he was thinking, but the thousands of thoughts in his mind seemed to have been twisted into a ball, entangled with each other.

He seemed to be thinking about Shi Guanyin, and about the secrets between King Qiuci and the "star of bliss", but after much deliberation, he would always end up with the marriage between Huamanlou and that Princess Jialing.

He couldn't help getting annoyed with himself, thinking to himself: "Chu Liuxiang, Chu Liuxiang, are you really so narrow-minded? Are you jealous of Huamanlou, or are you angry with him? He has been helping you regardless of anything , followed you to this desolate and dangerous desert, don't you want to see him have a good home?"

When he thought of these, he thought of Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, Song Tianer, and Black Pearl.They are still held hostage by Shi Guanyin, and they have experienced many dangers and tribulations.

Chu Liuxiang turned over again, wishing she could fly to Shi Guanyin's lair now and rescue them all.

But where is Shi Guanyin's lair?Even the green beard galloping across the desert can only tell a vague direction.Even King Kucha, who was repeatedly threatened by Shi Guanyin's greed, has not yet sent troops to conquer.

Is her hiding place too secretive, or her power too terrifying?

Where is that mysterious thrush bird?What role did that strategist named Wu Juxuan play in this conspiracy?

There are also the masters from the Central Plains invited by the King of Kucha, the traitors in the camp, and this marriage...

The more he thought about it, the less anxious he was, and he lay there quietly, slowly untangling his messy thoughts little by little.

Chu Liuxiang let out a breath slowly, feeling a little sleepy already.But his ears suddenly caught a faint sound, and he immediately cheered up.

The sound on the door was louder again, as if someone was knocking cautiously.It only took two or three taps before it stopped.

Chu Liuxiang turned over and walked to the door in two steps.

His movements were quick and light, and his bare feet stepped on the ground without making a sound.But there was a voice immediately outside the door, the voice was very low, as if he knew that he was standing by the door.

"Chu Liuxiang?"

Chu Liuxiang was startled suddenly, and reached out to open the door.The people outside the door are really full of flowers.

"you……"

Chu Liuxiang only uttered one word in the question, but Hua Manlou slipped into the room as if he didn't hear it at all.Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to close the door and watched Hua Manlou sit on a chair beside the bed inexplicably.

The floor made his feet cold, and Chu Liuxiang realized that she was not wearing shoes, so she came back quickly and sat cross-legged on the bed.

"I..." Hua Manlou only uttered one word, and then suddenly stopped.He seemed to be trying to find the right words, but finally sighed and said directly, "I'm here to apologize."

"apologize?"

Chu Liuxiang felt that even in her dreams, she would never have imagined that Hua Manlou's late-night visit was just to say such a sentence to herself.But Hua Manlou's expression was very solemn, with some fear and guilt.

"I'm sorry, I... I don't want to marry the princess."

Chu Liuxiang felt more and more that she was dreaming, a very strange dream.He could only ask, "Why?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "I don't want to get married at all. I never thought about such a thing."

Chu Liuxiang smiled lightly, and said, "I remember you are 23?"

23 years old, not too young.In some big families who value family inheritance, they have even become fathers at this age.

Huamanlou's panic gradually receded because of these words.He smiled lightly: "I have six older brothers, and I am blind."

Chu Liuxiang's heart suddenly tightened, as if being grabbed by someone's hand.

Hua Manlou had never shy away from the topic of blindness, but her tone at this time contained a bit of cold self-mockery.

He is the youngest son in the family, so he does not have the responsibility to inherit the family business.Since he was blind since he was a child, few people were willing to propose marriage to him.

No one asked him for anything, and no one cared if he wanted to take on something.

Chu Liuxiang held Hua Manlou's hand as usual.Perhaps it was because of wandering outside the door that his hands were cooler than usual.

Then Chu Liuxiang smiled gently and said, "It's okay, if you start thinking about it now, there is still time."

When he first tried martial arts in Jinzhang, King Qiuci knew that Hua Manlou was blind, and he couldn't stop admiring his exquisite martial arts.Since the king proposed this marriage, it means that he does not mind this.

Hua Manlou still shook his head and said, "I really don't want to get married. If you are angry with me..."

Chu Liuxiang interrupted him, and said: "It's up to you whether you get married or not, why am I angry?"

Hua Manlou hesitated and said, "Didn't Boss Ji say that this is a good opportunity to form an alliance with the Kucha Kingdom?"

Chu Liuxiang let out a "poof" laugh, held Hua Manlou's hand and said, "You are really honest. You only need to believe half of what Lao Ji said. Look at the few people that King Qiuci invited from the Central Plains all the way. He is a master, but in the end, he left, rebellious and rebellious, and it was too late for him to win us over, so how could he turn against us because of a marriage?"

Hua Manlou raised his brows suspiciously, and said, "But Boss Ji..."

Chu Liuxiang said: "He also cares about you. Although the royal family of Qiuci is in exile, they are still very powerful. Princess Jialing is also the heir apparent. It is in your interest to have this marriage. Besides, you have a family, so you don't have to go find it with us." Shi Guanyin is desperate."

Hua Manlou was startled, as if he didn't understand what he said, but slowly withdrew his hand and stood up.After a long time, he whispered: "Then what do you think? You also think I should stay and get married and watch you go through life and death?"

Chu Liuxiang shook her head instinctively.Although he clearly knew that he should continue to persuade Hua Manlou morally, but he couldn't help but wave after wave of joy in his heart.He narrowed his eyes, as if he had just seen Hua Manlou clearly, and then smiled and said, "I don't think so. I hate being alone so much, I can't live a day without my friends! "

What he said seemed to be a joke, but at the same time seemed serious, but Hua Manlou's face immediately burst into a knowing smile.Looking at the smile, Chu Liuxiang almost wanted to reach out to touch it, coughed quickly and said, "But...the princess seems to really like you."

Hua Manlou smiled apologetically, "But I don't like princesses!"

"That's good!"

It was only when Chu Liuxiang blurted out this sentence that she felt something was wrong, so she scratched her head and said, "Then...then cancel this marriage."

Hua Manlou's face seemed to be red again, and said: "It's my fault, I was confused when I heard the marriage proposal, and I didn't refuse it in person. I will go to see the king tomorrow..."

Chu Liuxiang looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed look, smiled and held his arm, and said: "As the saying goes, the parents' orders are the matchmaker's words. If you are here alone, I, the elder brother, will naturally decide the marriage. Tomorrow I will Come with you!"

In order to reassure Hua Manlou, he even patted his chest hard twice.

The author has something to say:

Like this kind of thing that you say without staying overnight, it seems that you can't abuse it...

Let me put a witty little joke that director J and I read after reading the comments of little angel An Chuchu:
