Qian Ling Wan Yu

So, the messenger please take your seat. "The messenger bowed and sat next to Jiang Zixuan.

After a while, some exotic dancers came forward one after another, and the sound of the piano was heard, and the dancers danced to the music. The emperor was very happy to see these dancers dancing, and the ministers couldn't take their eyes off of them. Suddenly, a woman holding a pipa came flying from the sky, and she landed gently. This person is the princess. The princess danced while holding the pipa. The emperor exclaimed: "What a pipa dance. Seeing is better than smelling, very good, very good."

Everyone was praising the song and dance, only Jiang Zixuan was drinking there blankly, Jiang Zixuan was thinking about where Ning Beicheng had gone, and he didn't care about it at all.

After dancing to a song, the princess went forward to salute the emperor with her pipa in her arms: "Xiyin pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." Jiang Zixuan looked up at the princess in shock when he heard the word Xiyin.

The emperor smiled and said: "Princess Xiyin, you don't need to be too polite. This pipa dance gave me a big surprise. The melody is beautiful and the dance is beautiful. No wonder your father treats you like a baby. If I have a I don't give up on my daughter either."

Xiyin handed the pipa to the dancing girl beside her, took off her veil and said with a smile: "The emperor's absurd praise. Compared with Nanxia, ​​Xiyin can't be said to be the number one. There must be more people in Nanxia who are better than Xiyin."

The emperor was even more delighted by Xiyin's praise, and hurriedly said: "Princess, please take your seat."

Xiyin sat directly next to Jiang Zixuan, Jiang Zixuan looked at Xiyin a little strangely, and because it was inconvenient to ask more questions at the banquet, Xiyin brought a glass of wine and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Xiyin toasts you with a glass of wine, congratulations Nanxia and Beiguo create a friendly gang."

The emperor happily picked up the wine glass and drank it down, Xiyin said to the envoy next to him: "Anda, present the gift for the emperor."

The envoy got up and came to the front and bowed: "Your Majesty, in order to form a friendship with the Emperor, the Lord of the Kingdom presents a jade dragon unique to the Northern Kingdom. This jade dragon is made of the best jade in my Northern Kingdom. I hope the Emperor will like it."

The emperor signaled the eunuch to bring the jade dragon up. After seeing the jade dragon, the emperor liked it very much, and laughed: "The Lord of the Northern Kingdom really bothers you."

The messenger continued: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing to do in this visit to Nanxia. Princess Xiyin has liked the style of the Central Plains in Nanxia since she was a child. Our lord cherishes the princess and specially ordered me to bring the princess here. I want the emperor to give her a gift." marriage."

The emperor was a little puzzled and said: "It's not difficult. These princes and ministers, as well as my two princes, I don't know which one the princess likes."

Princess Xiyin looked at Jiang Zixuan and said, "I've heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu is brave and mighty. I don't know if the prince has someone he likes."

The emperor and all the ministers present were a little shocked, waiting for Jiang Zixuan's answer, Jiang Zixuan said indifferently: "Thank you princess for your love, the king already has a man of his heart, the princess should find another beauty."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the emperor smiled and said: "The princess just came to my Nanxia, ​​and the journey is tiring, you might as well rest for a few more days before discussing this matter."

Xiyin heard that Jiang Zixuan had a favorite person with a serious expression, but the emperor stepped down the steps and said bluntly: "Thank you for your concern, if the prince's favorite person can compare with this princess, this princess will naturally give up."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Jiang Zixuan's mouth rose slightly, thinking, just you can compare with A Cheng, A Cheng can crush you casually.

After a while, Jiang Zixuan got up and said to the emperor: "Father forgives the crime, my son feels a little unwell, so I will take my leave first."

The emperor asked with concern: "Okay, I know you don't like such occasions, you've been busy all day, go back and rest earlier."

After Jiang Zixuan saluted, he left the banquet hall. Jiang Zixuan came out of the palace and did not return to the Chu Palace, but came to the Huakui Building, where he sat on the porch drinking alone. Yun'er saw Jiang Zixuan drinking alone and sighed: "The romantic Now that the prince has become like this, Mr. Ning is really charming."

Ning Beicheng was undergoing the second phase of medication for this matter. Ning Yue stayed by Ning Beicheng's side to perform acupuncture for him. Ning Beicheng half-lyed in the bathtub and his complexion slowly returned to the usual color. Ning Yue saw that Ning Beicheng slowly regained his happiness. Said: "My lord, the time you spend this time is shortened, and it's almost done."

Ning Beicheng said weakly: "Don't worry, when these poisons are fused with my blood, I will be a real body that is invulnerable to all poisons, and my blood will also become the antidote for all poisons."

Ning Beicheng asked Ning Yue, "Did any major events happen in Jinling City these days?"

Ning Yue faltered and said: "It's not a big deal, but there is a Princess Xiyin from the North Kingdom, who came to make a marriage. At the banquet, she fell in love with Jiang Zixuan at first sight."

Ning Yue said a lot at the side, but Ning Beicheng didn't listen to a few words. She thought to herself, Xiyin, isn't she a courtesan sent by Zixuan? How could she come to marry as a princess? It should be just the same name. .

After soaking in the medicinal bath, Ning Beicheng said to Ning Yue: "Yue'er, go back to Jinling first, and find out what the purpose of that Princess Xiyin is. I don't need your care here, and I will go back in two days."

Ning Yue pursed her lips and said, "Aren't you just worried that she will really become Jiang Zixuan's Princess Chu, why bother?"

Ning Beicheng said impatiently: "You don't listen to me anymore, it's getting more and more unruly."

Ning Yue said aggrievedly: "Yes, yes, how could the subordinate not listen to the master's order, the subordinate will go back right away, take care of yourself, and send a letter if you have something to do."

Ning Beicheng smiled and nodded and fell asleep. Ning Yue saw that Ning Beicheng fell asleep before leaving, and hurried back to Jinling City.

Early in the morning, the people in the Huakui Building were knocked loudly. Yun'er knew that it was Su Luoling who came to Jiang Zixuan again, and immediately ran to open the door, and saluted Su Luoling: "Master Su, the prince is in the attic. I have a lot of wine, but I haven't woken up yet."

Su Luoling walked quickly to the attic, saw Jiang Zixuan lying drunk on the porch, sighed and said to Yun'er: "Go and prepare some hangover soup," Yun'er turned and went to the kitchen to prepare, Su Luoling carried Jiang Zixuan to come to the room.

Reluctantly, he said to Jiang Zixuan: "You drunkard, if you get drunk here, I told you not to be so easily emotional. If you don't believe me, now that you are fine, do you still want your great career?"

21、Gauntlet

After a while, Yun'er carried the hangover soup to the attic and handed it to Su Luoling. Su Luoling waved Yun'er to retreat, and sat beside him and waited for Jiang Zixuan to wake up. It was almost noon before Jiang Zixuan woke up in a daze.

Sitting up with difficulty, Su Luoling saw Jiang Zixuan woke up and said indifferently: "You are considered awake. When you wake up, drink the hangover soup and go back to the palace. If you don't go back, the princess will tear down the Chu palace."

Jiang Zixuan said indifferently: "If she likes it, she'll tear it up. At worst, it's not difficult to build another one."

Su Luoling smiled and said: "Why, now you have an excuse to wait here for your Ah Cheng to come back. Where did Mr. Ning go, he hasn't been seen for two or three days."

Jiang Zixuan was a little disappointed and said: "I don't know where he went. Ning Yue only said that he went to retreat, but I don't believe it, so I can only come here every day and wait for him to come back."

Su Luoling snorted coldly and said: "You are easy to coax, who brought Ning Yue up, would she not know the traces of Ning Beicheng? However, even if Ning Yue knew, she would not tell you, after all, in her heart, you This brother is still very incompetent." Su Luoling shook his head while speaking, and put the hangover soup in his hand.

Jiang Zixuan drank the hangover soup in one gulp, washed up briefly, and left the Huakui Building to return to the palace. Su Luoling followed Jiang Zixuan back to the Chu palace. Beside said nothing.

Jiang Zixuan returned to Chu Palace and resumed his previous cold appearance. Seeing Xiyin sitting on the main seat, he said indifferently: "Princess really has changed her identity and she has become more courageous."

Seeing that Jiang Zixuan came back, Xiyin hurriedly got up and said, "This princess is visiting Chu Palace today, so why not sit in the main seat, sooner or later this will be my princess' seat."

Jiang Zixuan waved his hand to signal for everyone to retreat, only Su Luoling and Zhao Yusheng were left behind, glanced at the messenger and snorted coldly: "If the princess is not afraid of letting outsiders know about her embarrassment, you can let him listen here."

Xiyin glanced at Anda and said: "Anda, you go outside and wait first, the princess called you and you are coming in."

Anda said anxiously: "But the princess, the lord of the country asked me to guard you every step of the way."

Xiyin said angrily: "What can the princess do here with the king of Chu, it's unnecessary, go out." Anda didn't dare to disobey the princess anymore, so he could only retreat and wait outside.

Jiang Zixuan said indifferently: "Should I call you Xiyin or Princess Xiyin?"

Xiyin smiled and said: "My lord, Xiyin is still the same Xiyin as before. I have never changed my admiration for you. The previous Xiyin was not good enough for you. I have nothing to say when you sent me away. Now Xiyin is the princess of the North Kingdom." , opposite to your door, will the prince still reject me?"

Jiang Zixuan sneered and said: "The former Xiyin was a talented woman who was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The oiran who came to me after passing through many screenings, this king sent you away just to let you have a better life. I didn't expect that you It's Her Royal Highness the princess, and I blame this king for being blind-sighted and condescending."

Xiyin made a salute and said: "Thank you, my lord, for giving me a clear way to return to the North Country safely when I first entered the Central Plains and fell into the streets. I should repay this kindness, so I want to repay my lord with a promise of my body."

Su Luoling looked at this scene from the side and somehow gloated a little, thinking, good guy, Jiang Zixuan would feel better if Ning Beicheng found out about this.

Jiang Zixuan refused unceremoniously: "This king has his own heart, the princess should find another beauty."

Xiyin said angrily
