Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

Last time, Lu Xiao severely mocked him for wearing black or brown all day long, in heavy colors, making him look old-fashioned.Qi Jiansi seemed to be shocked by him, so he changed his appearance today, wearing a light blue shirt, which made his complexion even more beautiful.

"The kid next to you was kidnapped by Meng Ye to play, so I have to make amends for him and take you to Yuejiang Tower for tea."

Lu Xiao got into the carriage without energy, feeling unhappy.

Ning Huai was heartless, and Qi Jiansi could see that Lu Xiao was not hesitating within three or two days, so he asked Meng Ye to find that little Ye Zi, and he could figure out the idiot's clever words.But God always favored him, and it really made Meng Ye ask the reason.

However, Lu Xiao kept all his thoughts in his stomach, and it was about his closest brother. As a friend, Qi Jiansi couldn't break the casserole and ask the bottom line. He has such a temperament, so he had to silently try to make Lu Xiao happy.

Shredded chicken, eight-treasure duck, golden snow clam, Longjing bamboo fungus, and the weather was still hot. Lu Xiao put down her chopsticks after eating two bites, holding a bowl of ice cream cheese in a daze.

Qi Jiansi asked, "Don't you like it?"

Lu Xiao couldn't tell what he was thinking, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered Yun Kangdi's words, and said frankly: "No, it's because I'm a little annoyed."

The windows and doors were all closed, Lu Xiao said relievedly: "Your Majesty asked me to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

Qi Jiansi must be indispensable for such an occasion, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said: "Last month, you told me about it."

Lu Xiao regained her appetite, and first grabbed a piece of duck before saying, "Your Majesty asked me to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet with Ning Huai in front of the Second Prince."

With the addition of two names, the meaning inside and outside the words is not so simple.

Qi Jiansi paused for a moment, and said to him: "It's nothing, Your Majesty is relieving you."

He understood Emperor Yunkang's thoughts far better than Lu Xiao, but most of the time Lu Xiao followed the tiger's whiskers, while Qi Jiansi knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger's mountain.

"Your Majesty said so, and the second prince will understand that even if your majesty wants to mention the fourth prince, he will choose someone who is close to his mother's family. Besides, Ning Huai is the second prince's attendant, and he has a very close relationship with him. It is also a guarantee for you."

Lu Xiao rolled her eyes in her heart. According to Ning Huai's daily complaints, his cousin is more moody than the emperor.In the eyes of others, the two of them are a pair of cousins ​​who have a good relationship. In fact, let alone Ning Huai's face, I am afraid that everyone except Yun Kangdi will lose face with him.

Now that the night of the full moon is approaching, Lu Xiao has no choice but to cheer up and prepare for battle.

Xu Shi Ning Guogong knew it well, and he sent a carriage directly to pick up Lu Xiao that day, and gave him a condescending smile when they met.

Ning Huai kept grabbing the upholstery, worriedly talking to him about the many complicated rules of banquets in the palace, and worried that the two of them would not be able to sit together, so Lu Xiao gritted her mouth and pretended to be dumb.

Lu Xiao nodded repeatedly.

The sound of silk and bamboo lingered endlessly, the officials of ceremony led people into the hall, the seats in the hall were lined up, all were measured by the servants repeatedly, there was absolutely no mistake.There was a cold dish of fruit wine on the table, and the servant girl with lowered eyebrows was waiting on the side, and Shi Shiran saluted the visitor.

The ones on the left closest to Emperor Yunkang's Golden Dragon dining table are Duke Ning and his son. Ning Huai has no rank, nor has he been a noble. Sitting behind father and brother.Then came Zhongxiao Gong and Cui Taifu.Sitting behind Cui Yu was a middle-aged man whom Lu Xiao had never seen before. He was about to ask Ning Huai in a low voice, when he caught sight of Qi Jiansi behind his desk.Lu Xiao suddenly realized that this should be Mr. Qi, who was so ignorant.

After that, it was the ministers of various ministries, the prime minister of Dali Temple, and then it was Lu Xiao's turn.

The first person on the right is Duke Yiyang who came from the fief. It is said that he is a son of the clan who has a brotherly relationship with Emperor Yunkang, and lives more carefreely than King Jing who is far away.Then came the second prince who was very popular, and next to the second prince was a young man who looked about fifteen or sixteen in gold and silver.

Lu Xiao sat at the back, so she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but according to her age, she must be the fourth prince.

He didn't want to spy on the other people, and with the dull voice of the ceremony officer, all the people present knelt down to salute, and then the good show started when they were eating.

Such an occasion is an arena for those in high positions, and this time it is also the home field of the second prince's battle.He has little to do with Lu Xiao, he only cares about eating food, and devotes all his attention to the chef's craftsmanship in the imperial dining room.

From reciting poems and composing Fu to using soldiers in battle, Xie Shenxing has made the limelight all over the place.It was too far away, although Lu Xiao couldn't see Emperor Yunkang's expression, he could get a glimpse of it from his proud and uncontrollable voice.

During the banquet, the four princes didn't really fight for the limelight, they just said some auspicious words about reunion, with a hoarse voice unique to young people.

Lu Xiao let go of half of the burden in her heart, so she is a bit smart.

The music gradually stopped, and Emperor Yunkang, who was still in good spirits, said that he wanted to enjoy the moon with all his ministers. There was nothing wrong with it, and a group of people was ready to go out again.Veteran ministers like Cui Yu, who were too old to interfere, excused themselves to resign because they were unwell.Emperor Yunkang didn't get entangled in these trivial matters, he just waved his hand.

Lu Xiao noticed that Qi Jiansi's father was also on the list, but Qi Jiansi only saw him off for a while before returning to Miyagi.

Xiao Huizi was with Emperor Yunkang, Duke Ning Guo and Duke Yi Yang stood on both sides, and three middle-aged men walked in front.Passing through the promenade, the silver light of the moon sprinkled on the earth, and the crowd followed behind.Ning Huai followed Ning Du seriously, as if listening to his elder brother's teachings humbly; Xie Shenxing was talking with the son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and he was in high spirits while talking and laughing.

The bright moon shines on all living beings, and all living beings are happy.

The moon is full and flowers are good, but there is only one shadow, and the thin shadow in my heart has not dissipated for a long time.

Lu Xiao is a person who has never been illuminated by the moonlight, and what he is thinking at this moment is, does this person who doesn't know where he is look up and take a look at such a beautiful moon?

He lowered his eyes and smiled wryly, throwing the thought out of his mind, and was about to think about how to complete what Emperor Yunkang had asked him to do, when a handsome and cute little eunuch with a round head and a round brain approached him.

The little eunuch looked very docile, and said to Lu Xiao in a soft voice: "Master Lu, please go with this servant, His Highness told you to wait for him at Jingshui Bridge."

Tsk, Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, who else is His Royal Highness?

Lu Xiao smiled at him kindly, and said softly, "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."

The so-called Jingshui Bridge is actually a stone bridge across Chenghu Lake, not far from the Imperial Garden.

Lu Xiao was wandering in the sky, when suddenly someone lightly touched his right shoulder, which made him shrink back in shock, and when he turned his head, there was still a little surprise in his eyes.

The visitor was about the same size as him, with a pair of sharp eyes staring at him, and he said two words softly between his lips and teeth: "Lu Xiao."

It was this voice, three points mature and seven points hoarse, Lu Xiao smiled: "I have seen the Fourth Highness."

According to Qi Jiansi's story, the fourth prince's name is Xie Shenshou, he is fifteen years old, and his biological mother, Concubine Guo Shu, was born in a small family.Emperor Yunkang wanted to let him go for a long time, but he still found Lu Xiao because of his kinship.

Xie Shenshou looked at him for a long time, and said expressionlessly, "I know you."

Lu Xiaoxin said that she was only a child, pretending to be deep, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty also knows about the Fourth Highness."

Xie Shenshou asked the handsome little eunuch to retreat under the bridge to guard, Lu Xiao calmly compared his patience with him, finally Xie Shenshou couldn't stand it any longer, and asked sullenly, "How old are you?"

It seemed ridiculous to say such words from someone younger than Lu Xiao, but Lu Xiao replied truthfully, "Twenty."

Xie Shenshou's face was a little loose: "Only twenty?"

"..." Lu Xiao said with a bitter face, "Does the officer look very old?"

Xie Shenshou said very firmly: "In ten years, I drove away eleven companions. I thought that this time the emperor hired an old scholar to watch me. I heard the palace people say that you look very young. At first I didn't believe it. I thought Come and see you in person today."

He looked at Lu Xiao calmly: "I don't want to trouble you, and you don't want to worry about me."

Xie Shenshou was ready to refute, but only heard "Oh" from the other party.

Lu Xiao unexpectedly read a trace of doubt from this expressionless face, he patiently answered Xie Shenshou's question and said: "What the officer means is that I understand."

Xie Shenshou stared at him with difficulty for a while, then led the little eunuch away without saying a word.

The people surnamed Xie are really unpredictable. From the emperor to the prince, they really deserve to be a family whose blood is thicker than water.

Lu Xiao relaxed on the railing of the Jingshui Bridge, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and after an unknown amount of time, she saw Ning Huai rushing over in a hurry.

"Ah Xiao! Why are you here!"

The two walked down the bridge, chattering small things, Lu Xiao caught a glimpse of the second prince standing behind the tree, tugged at Ning Huai's cuff, and suddenly fell silent.

Xie Shenxing's hair was neatly tied up today, and he walked over like a cat catching a mouse, without any embarrassment of being caught: "Gu said why Xiao Huai left in such a hurry, so he went to talk to Lu Shizhong."

A picture appeared in his mind, and Lu Xiao laughed in his heart, what is it called, mantis catching cicadas and orioles behind.

Before Ning Huai could speak, Lu Xiao suddenly had a thought, and the questions buried in his heart gushed out the moment Xie Shenxing spoke.

"Second Highness, I have a problem with my heart, so I don't know if I can ask His Highness to explain it for you?"

The two who were catching the mouse looked at Lu Xiao together in surprise for a moment, and he didn't care whether it was appropriate or not.Xie Shenxing said loudly: "Lu Shizhong said yes, since he is Xiao Huai's friend, if Gu knew about it, he would definitely not keep it secret."

"Your Highness once said that he met a man surnamed Lu on the way home. What I want to ask is, can Your Highness still remember this man's appearance?" Lu Xiao's voice was very soft, like a small stone thrown into Chenghu Lake , disappeared in an instant.

Xie Shenxing glanced at him with interest: "I remember, I just don't know the relationship between Mr. Lu and this person. Could it be that they are related?"

"The elder brother of the lower official is traveling abroad, and he hasn't written a letter for a long time. I feel worried. I heard His Highness describe his age and surname, so..."

For a possibility that may not be possible, he personally exposed the lie that he had concealed for several months, he did not dare to turn his head to look at Ning Huai's expression, and waited for Xie Shenxing's trial with ashamed heart.

"Lord Lu respects and loves his elder brother very much, so Gu naturally knows everything. That master is about 27-[-], much fairer than ordinary men, the corners of his eyes are slightly drooping, and he looks very thin, but he doesn't look like he is capable of martial arts. "Xie Shenxing paused for a moment, "You can't judge people by their appearance."

Lu Xiao seemed to be strangled by someone, unable to speak a word for a long time.

Ning Huai said suddenly: "Is that person's face square, cousin?"

He seldom took the initiative to call Xie Shenxing's cousin, Xie Shenxing said happily: "No, that man's jaw is slightly rounded, not the Chinese character face of ordinary men."

Ning Huai hooked Lu Xiao's sleeve, as if hinting at something: "Ah Xiao, forget it, it's not Big Brother Lu. Just wait a little longer, maybe in a few days you'll receive a letter declaring you're safe."

Lu Xiao clenched her fingers and forced a smile: "Thank you Your Highness, I'm afraid I will have to look for it for a while."

"Do you need to send some people to look for Mr. Lu?" Although Xie Shenxing said so, his eyes were fixed on Ning Huai.Ning Huai's expression was as usual, and he couldn't pretend he cared about his friends.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, I don't need it for now."

It was just a polite remark, Xie Shenxing immediately went down the steps, bluntly saying that he hadn't seen Ning Huai for many days, and now that he wanted to talk to him, he wouldn't stay here any longer.

Ning Huai's last look at him contained inexplicable emotions, worry, shock, doubt, but there was no hatred after being deceived.Lu Xiao closed his eyes, Ning Huaiyuan was much calmer than him, and when he realized that he was in a bad mood, he immediately lied to Xie Shenxing with a few words.

The person Xie Shenxing saw in the southwest was clearly Lu Xuehen!

Why is the weak elder brother who can't lift his hands or shoulders on weekdays the one who saved the second prince of the current dynasty?Why did Lu Xuehen, who bluntly stated in the letter that he had important things to do, go to the southwestern border?

Will there be two people with the same age, same body shape and the same face in the world? Even twins will have small differences, and Lu Xiao can't deceive herself that they are not the same person.
