lights june day

Aware of what he is about to face, it is only as if he has changed from another employer to an employer of the same race.

It wasn't until he saw Bin Yuan that his bewildered thoughts of self-deception and self-sorrow were lifted to a glimmer of light.

Kneeling on her knees with a plop, Binyuan was taken aback by the child's behavior, she stepped forward to support her, but she couldn't drag her up, "What are you doing? Bayiman, if you don't want to, just say it, You don't have to wrong yourself. I know that this road is still too young for you, how could I be so cruel to let a 16-year-old boy do such a dangerous thing. Get up and listen to me slowly, okay?"

Hearing this, Bayiman raised his head, but still knelt on his knees, refusing to move.He felt that he seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of His Highness's words, but he didn't dare to ask directly, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Seeing his stubborn actions, Binyuan had no choice but to explain carefully: "I mean, I want to expand the store and open it far away. But there are so many countries in the world, how can I go so far alone, just For example, I want to sell our goods in Nanman country, but the transportation is too tiring and costly, if you are willing to bring money and goods to Nanman country and become a boss, wouldn't it be much more convenient?"

Bayiman still didn't understand, if he became the boss, what would His Highness do?

"What about Your Highness?"

Binyuan patted the young man's broad shoulders, finally pulled him up, and explained with a sigh of relief: "Of course, I asked someone to deliver the goods when you didn't have any goods. I don't just want to send you Cargo, and elsewhere, of many, many people."

"Your Highness doesn't just open a store? Do other countries also want it?" Baiman felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't know why, so he didn't delve into it.

"Of course, according to the needs of different countries, the goods will be adjusted appropriately. For example, Xizhi City needs seeds that are more resistant to drought, so we can transport the seeds from the Grub Country to Nanman."

Bayiman now understands, but he is reluctant to leave His Highness, "Thank you for your teaching!"

"This is not teaching, it's just a kind of business. If others need it, then just get what he needs. There is a huge distance between heaven and earth. How can ordinary people span such a long distance? We are just equivalent to carrying Goods from other places." Binyuan smiled brightly, and her mood, which had been tortured by illness for several days, became more cheerful.

Bayiman actually hates the people of Fusang country. His mother died at the hands of an employer of Fusang country. He was tortured by Fusang country's employers in the first half of his life. I hate Binyuan.

He even likes Bin Yuan very much, he feels that His Royal Highness does not look like a Fusang countryman at all, His Highness does not have the insidious, cunning and greedy people of Fusang country.

He sometimes thinks that if one day he finally has the ability to avenge his mother and eradicate that devil-like country, he will definitely not hurt His Highness at all.

After Mo Ye came back from solving the theft in the kitchen, he couldn't find Bin Yuan in the yard. He walked around the corner of the porch and saw that the dishonest Highness wanted to wander alone and wandered to the side of the lotus pond.

Sitting quietly on the bank alone, staring at the lotus in a daze, when he walked over, it started to rain lightly in the dusty sky.

"Your Highness, it's time to go back and drink the medicine." Mo Ye reminded cruelly, he knew that his Highness hated taking medicine the most, every time he took medicine, he would show bitterness, and he would not cooperate in every possible way.

Just like now, when Binyuan heard that she wanted to drink medicine, she put on a silly smile on her expressionless face, and said perfunctorily: "Mo Ye, I think it's getting very early, let's go, accompany me to the study .”

How could Mo Ye bear His Highness's evasion like this, and dragged him back to the room, and the servant guarding the door also brought in the medicine in a swift and ruthless manner.

Looking at the black soup held in front of her, from Bin Yuan's perspective, this bowl of soup is a black and unpainted product with a strong disgusting smell, and no appetite can be seen.

"Your Highness, don't look at it, the medicine will be cold if you look at it any longer."

Bin Yuan choked on the tip of her tongue, which had no sense of taste in recent days, took the bowl tremblingly, and downed it in one gulp, coughing until her face became red and her neck was thick.

After helping His Highness to calm down, Mo Ye felt very sad that His Highness had taken medicine for seven or eight days, but the erythema on his skin still hadn't disappeared.

Another month passed after eating, eating and sleeping like this.

In mid-April, the news of the war between Fusang Kingdom and Dazhi Dazhi spread like wildfire.

Binyuan, who was in the country of Yi, suffered from insomnia for several nights, and for some reason, she would always dream of Binshang who was bullied by many princes in the imperial garden.The two of them were just acquainted with each other for a few times, and when they met after that, they either calculated or misunderstood each other, and they didn't like each other.

To say that the only person I have a crush on is Binshang, who always thinks of Binyuan, who is full of kits, every time the treasury is empty.

……

Inside the Qilin Palace, the lights are brightly lit day and night, and a puff of gunpowder smoke hangs over the city.

For Binshang, Dazhida is nothing more than a clown who dares to attack the Fusang Kingdom with hundreds of thousands of troops.

Above the besieged city, letter hawks flying in and out, delivering battle reports from the frontline, and within a short time, the emperor's table was covered with dense envelopes.

Opening one after another, the young emperor was almost pissed off, and hated the group of useless ministers who ate soft food and did not make meritorious deeds.

A courtier knelt on the ground, holding the letter that had just been handed over tremblingly in his hand. After kowtowing his head, he could only read the contents of the letter: "Your Majesty, our army is defeated... Suzaku City has fallen..."

Bin Shang had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, and his face turned blue.

Where is Suzaku City?That is the closest city to Fusang Kingdom and Dazhida Kingdom. Although Suzaku City is poor and not worth mentioning, it has improved under Binyuan's careful management in recent years. It looks better now, but it is cheap to the enemy country. .

He seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Where's the Lord of Suzaku City? Where's the other person? Call him here!"

The subject trembled all over, "Your Majesty does not know, the owner of the Vermillion Bird City has been emptied. A few months ago, the owner of the Vermillion Bird City brought the city residents... a large-scale relocation... moved away..."

"Boom!" An ink table was smashed to the ground, and Bin Shang was so angry that he leaned back on the chair with a hideous face, "What a Bin Yuan! What a Bin Yuan! Traitor!"

The courtier had no choice but to kneel down without saying a word, he really wanted to say, it's not because you forced him to escape like this.

There was a moment of silence in the Qilin Hall, and Bin Shang shouted angrily: "Send the order! The whole country arrests the traitor Bin Yuan! Send the arrest warrant to other countries, and no country can be left behind, including the Dazhida country!"

As soon as this arrest warrant was issued, the first person to get the news was Wu Si who was resting in the General Zhen Guo's mansion.

In the middle of the night, the palace was immersed in silence.

The flowers in the imperial garden withered and bloomed again, the old man went away and never returned, the past could not be traced, time kept moving forward, he just felt a bit desolate to be alone.

No, someone once held his hand and smiled at him.It's just that the memory of that period is very short. After meeting several times, the two either misunderstood or intrigue, and never had a heart-to-heart negotiation in the true sense.

Binshang didn't hate Binyuan, their official careers pushed them in different directions, he also longed to pursue that person's shadow, but was severely blocked by reality.He couldn't abandon everything in the past, just like nothing happened, floating and sinking in fantasy.

But he resented this country, and now he felt a little tired sitting in the position above ten thousand people, and thought it would be better to give up this position to others.

"Third brother..." He stood alone under the tree, muttering to himself, stretching his hand towards the trunk, recalling that the boy once climbed on this tree, helping the maids in the palace to pick up the shuttlecocks hanging from the tree.

The third brother in his memory is a nosy person who laughs silly.This is true for everyone, because living in the illusion woven by the old emperor, there is no malice to everyone who is full of smiles.He just wanted the third brother to see the reality clearly, so he severely broke that man's peaceful life.

In the lotus pavilion in the courtyard, there was a crowd like a city, and everyone was sitting or standing, waiting for Binyuan to arrange tasks for them.

Now the people in the caravan have experienced life and death together, have seen through many official careers, and are no longer reckless, but have become tough, open-minded, and reasonable.

"I've learned about the arrest warrant. I won't be leaving the house for the next two months, so I'll trouble everyone to give you some pointers." Bin Yuan bowed to those who were sitting or standing. .

"What is your highness talking about? Why are you being polite to us? As long as your highness says, I, Guo San, will go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, and I will not hesitate!" Guo Shan clasped his fists and saluted. He had a square face and leaned against the pavilion Liang Zhu was tall and tall, with a big knife attached to his waist, he was extremely imposing.

"I, Ye Jiu, are no worse than Guo San. Whatever your Highness wants to order, just say it, and don't be polite to us rough people!" Ye Jiu slapped Guo San's shoulder with a slap. If she used more strength, Binyuan was afraid that he would slap Guo San's shoulders down.

The men in the caravan are all upright. When they first went out to wander around, they did the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the food was the worst. If they were not lucky, they would have starved to death in the yellow, sandy and dark expanse. in the desert.

Bin Yuan was very moved, and said with a stream of tears in her eyes: "You are all heroes and family members, how can you treat me badly. I am not much nobler than everyone. This incident happened suddenly, and I did not expect the arrest warrant in China. It’s so fast, and I have to trouble everyone to take care of the business in the future, so as to make money in peace.”

Those words made everyone's faces change a bit, and many of those present were members of the Blood Cavalry.Ye Jiu, Guo San, Chu You, and Mo Ye are the captains of the blood cavalry team. They manage a strong team that rides in the desert to fight against the enemy. Because of the escort of these four strong teams, Shang The team was able to survive in this vast desert.

Chu You changed his leg and leaned on the pillar of the gazebo. Seeing that everyone was silent, he had no choice but to ask, "Does your Highness have any plans?" He didn't believe that His Highness would hand over the shop to them for no reason. How do they do things well?Not being able to read or count is scary even thinking about it.But the most important thing is, His Highness handed over the shop to them, could it be that he intends to go back to Fusang alone to meet the stinky emperor.

He felt terrible when he thought about it, he managed to escape from the dead, is he still alive when he goes back this time?

"I have no plans..." Bin Yuan was a little discouraged, lowered her eyelashes to look at the erythema that had not disappeared on her arm, feeling extremely uncomfortable, "I want to train a few successors, the future development of the caravan will be even more long-term, We need more manpower and shopkeepers."

Mo Ye suddenly added a sentence: "Your Highness, your idea is very good, but since ancient times, your son has inherited your father's business. Your Highness, you are not married yet, how can your son inherit it?" He felt that his heart was sullen after saying this, But I can't think of a reason.

According to the traditional concept, His Highness must marry a virtuous woman to be in charge of the backyard and housekeeping.But to change his mind, he felt that no woman in this world was worthy of His Highness, and when he thought of His Highness getting married and having a child of his own, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"Whoever stipulates that the property must be handed over to his own flesh and blood?" Binyuan said angrily, "Only those who are capable can be qualified for the position. Here I just want to tell you that the property of Fenghua Xueyue belongs to everyone, and there is no need for it. It does not belong to me alone, and this property will not belong to my descendants in the future. It is naturally the best if someone in the caravan is competent."

He spoke eloquently and eloquently, and a group of people were dumbfounded and didn't know how to refute.

In their conception, His Highness is the employer, the master, and the object they should respect and protect throughout their lives.Although they were happy to be treated equally by His Highness, there was an unchangeable nature in their bones that they were still slaves.

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to surpass the Lord.

Seeing this kind of reaction from everyone, it was as early as Bin Yuan expected.After all, ancient times are ancient times, how could a servant dare to inherit his master's property, and still be so aboveboard.

He coughed slightly, and after everyone looked at him, he explained: "I have already chosen the person. I have observed it for several days. Bayiman is a smart and capable kid, and he is familiar with the geographical environment of Nanman. Let him preside over the road in one piece. Ye Jiu, from now on, you will follow Baiman and help out more."

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed.

Ye Jiu even had an unbelievable expression on his face, he couldn't believe it, his fat body trembled, and his eyes almost popped out, "Your Highness! Did you make a mistake? You actually asked me to follow that brat! I won't do it!" Do it!" Ye Jiu shook his head fiercely, and the forehead strap tied to his forehead almost shook off.

How could it be Baiman!

Among the crowd, Aviku, who was sitting on the farthest side, tightened his hand hidden under his sleeve. He was jealous, even his jealous heart was about to explode. Why is it that ugly guy?

For the past six months, he has worked hard to learn from his seniors, not leaving behind any knowledge that can be used. He thought that this would be appreciated by His Highness, but he didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, His Highness admired a disfigured guy.

Looking at Binyuan greedily, he opened his mouth to explain something, but finally lowered his head, bit his lip and said nothing.

Binyuan rubbed the center of her brows helplessly, and persuaded her: "Don't be so rude. I know that it is difficult for Bayiman to convince people at such a young age, but you are all old seniors. What the juniors don't understand, you should know more about it." Be more responsible. Ye Jiu, you have been with me for so many years, have you ever seen me treat you badly?" He looked at the fat and strong man, and wanted to see the reason why in his eyes. .

Ye Jiu pursed his lips and didn't say a word. He really repulsed Bayman, half of the reason was because his blood flowed with the blood of the Nanman Kingdom, but His Royal Highness didn't mind, so what else could he care about?

In addition, life is much better now than in the past, and the monthly salary can match that of an important official in the court. If the money is brought back to his hometown to show off, he can marry a beautiful lady and live the life of a landowner.

"Your Highness has never treated Ye Jiu badly. I know, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness's expectations, and I will definitely train Bayiman to be what His Highness is satisfied with!" Ye Jiu knelt on one knee and saluted with fists clasped, with a determined expression on his face.

Entrusting him with such a big task shows that His Highness trusts him very much, so why isn't Ye Jiu moved.

Seeing that the matter was completed, Bin Yuan had a relaxed smile on her face, "It's good that you can figure it out. Bai Yiman is a good boy. From now on, you can't underestimate him, and you can't boast too much. You must be honest. Exercise his true ability, let's go down."

"Yes!" Ye Jiu nodded respectfully, and brought Baiman down to prepare things.

Departing from Phoenix City of Yi Country, we will go to the city of Nanman Country with a full load of goods. On the way, we will pass through a dry desert and a dark forest. The journey will take three months. When we start this trip, we should be in the second place when we return. years.

Sitting quietly and waiting, Aviku felt as if thousands of ants were biting his body.He was on high alert and only hoped to hear his name from His Highness.

The result can only be disappointment.In the end, His Highness just exchanged some pleasantries, told everyone to handle the quality of the goods well, and not to quarrel with the guests, so the meeting was dissolved.

He returned to his small courtyard in a daze. Wang Guoguo, who lived in the same courtyard with him, was a stealthy thief who never took unusual paths.If it hadn't been for jumping from a tree or jumping out from the beam, Aviku had never seen him push the door in.

It was the same at this moment, he pushed open the door, and a flash of light flashed in front of his eyes, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Wang Guoguo who was jumping up and down.

Unlike in the past, he carried a large bag of things on his back. Aviku asked suspiciously: "What are you carrying? Are you going to rob some house?" He really suspected that this restless thief was It wasn't that he robbed the backyard of a certain nobleman and stole all the gold, silver and jewelry from his house.

"Fuck you!" Wang Guoguo almost bit his tongue angrily, walked to his bed, unloaded the package, poured it out, and saw that it was a pile of bottles and cans.

"You still learn from the girl's house and get some rouge and gouache?" Aviku said puzzled.

Wang Guoguo didn't want to talk to Aviku, because he managed to get these from his master.

His master usually likes to study some plasters related to skin diseases.The erythema on His Highness's skin hadn't disappeared in the past month. He had been worried for a long time, and today he had the time to go out and get some back.

It's just that the function of the medicine was not marked on the bottles and cans, so he could only open the bottles one by one and smell them with his nose, probably guessing that they were not poisonous.

Aviku didn't bother to care about him, he returned to his bunk and fell asleep.In the middle of the night, he woke up in a daze, and when he got up to relieve himself, he found that the opposite bunk was empty, and the quilt was neatly folded without any signs of being disturbed.

He suspected that the guy had gone out to do something shady again.

☆, improved condition

There is a large lotus pond in the courtyard of the main courtyard. Even at night, the koi in the pond are still swaying tirelessly, spitting two blisters out of the water from time to time.

A gust of wind passed by, and a black shadow quickly passed over the lotus leaf. It can be seen that this person's lightness skill is so good that he didn't disturb a fallen leaf.

I don't know how this man slipped onto the beam of Binyuan's bedroom without opening the window or the door.He squatted on the beam like an upside-down bat, covered in black, if he didn't have a weapon on his body, at first glance he might have thought he was here to assassinate.

In the bed, the person under the gauze turned over in a daze, sleeping soundly.

Seeing that the timing was almost up, the black shadow jumped down from the beam, untied the small bag on his back, and found a bottle of medicine jars, and finally found a milky white bottle with the moonlight coming in from the window.Pull out the cork, pick out a little white ointment with your hands, and apply it gently on the skin of the sleeping person's arm.

The black shadow seemed to want to smear a little on the man's face, and stretched out his hand, but he didn't dare to touch the man's face because of the courtesy.

It was too close, so close that he could clearly observe His Highness's eyelashes. The eyelashes on the eyelashes were clearly visible, and he could even hear the shallow and deep breaths clearly.

As soon as his face became hot, he felt that he should just apply it on his hands first, and see the effect tomorrow. If it didn't work, he would change to another bottle. Anyway, he made a lot of money.

In the early morning of the next day, the birds in Phoenix City sang and sang happily, traveling the sky in the misty smoke of hundreds of houses.

Binyuan is more sleepy, especially in this kind of neither hot nor cold weather, if no one opens the door to call him, he can sleep until the sun is drying his buttocks.

The door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak~", and Mo Ye entered the room with hot water on time, put the wooden basin on the shelf, walked to the bed and saw that His Highness had already got into the quilt bed and rolled into it He fell asleep on his side.

He shook his head helplessly, climbed onto the bed, and grabbed someone out of the bed, "Your Highness, there are a lot of accounts waiting for you to look over today, so you can't delay." He put the person in his arms on the edge of the bed Sit down, bend down to put on the other person's shoes, pick up the clothes on the shelf and change one by one.

Basically, when the program came to combing her hair, Binyuan woke up in a daze, stretched her waist, and began to think about the morning meal, "What shall we eat today?"

Combing his hair to the end, Mo Ye hooked his mouth and replied: "Peach blossom porridge, the peach blossoms in the yard have fallen a lot recently, this subordinate thinks it is a pity, thinking that His Highness likes to drink peach blossom porridge, so he took some to make porridge. "

"You know me best." Binyuan showed a happy smile, took out a wooden hairpin and handed it to the person behind him who combed his hair: "Just wear this one."

He doesn't like to wear gold and silver, but he likes to hang a piece of jade on his waist. Of course, his favorite hairpin is a wooden hairpin. The kind of wood that is purely handmade and gives off a little fragrance when worn on the hair is his. favorite.

In the past month, the wind has become more intense. In the middle of May, the Phoenix City has been covered with notices, all of which are about arresting the traitor Bin Yuan from the Fusang Kingdom.

Fortunately, the person in the portrait didn't look like that, otherwise, some guests who had contact with Bin Yuan in advance might have noticed it.

After delivering the last batch of goods, Aviku and Liang Yuci stepped into the carriage and drove towards the city. The carriage was driving unhurriedly. Will the ones be sent to Nanban?" He spoke very carefully, for fear of over-exposing his true thoughts.

Driving the horse, another whip was whipped on the horse's buttocks. Liang Yuci turned his head brightly, and glanced at the half-grown child sitting next to him with unclear intentions, "What do you think?" It's not like a sarcasm, but an unpredictable smile anyway.

To Aviku, this smile was nothing more than a blow, a blow to the soul.

Of course Liang Yuci knew what this little kid was thinking, but unfortunately this person wanted to run before he learned how to walk. He was a little too self-righteous. He warned:

"We followed His Highness three years ago. Before that, His Highness has been trying to save the lives of us servants. His Highness is a good person, but he is not a fool. You should reflect on yourself and do what you should do without stretching your hands." It has been so long, His Highness has always considered the best things, the reason why His Highness has not used you now is not because you are not capable, but because you are waiting for a better position to be given to you, I hope you can understand."

The sound of the carriage's clanging wheels covered up the sound of Aviku's flustered saliva. He didn't expect his thoughts to be so easily guessed by others. While annoyed at his immaturity, on the other hand, he burst into tears. He was just afraid, afraid being abandoned.

He likes His Highness, even if he can't study with him, he can feel at ease as long as he watches from a distance, so he is even more afraid of being abandoned.

"I see!" Aviku nodded angrily, turned his face away, and held back the tears that were about to flow from his eyes.

In the palace, the aged empress was silently wearing memorials, each of which reported the unstoppable trend of the continuous spread of the plague in the city.

One of the maids on both sides is grinding ink, and the other is in charge of submitting the memorial.

"Report to Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Crane King!" The female officer's summons interrupted the queen's thoughts of reviewing the memorial. She rubbed the painful brows and replied calmly: "Let him in."

Two tall wooden doors opened, and Feng Xihe, dressed in a snow-white straight-fronted gown, gradually stepped into the Baihua Palace with steady steps, and then saluted: "I have seen the Queen Mother, how can the Queen be well?"

The drape of the clothes is very good, like the snowflakes falling from the sky in winter, which is expected to be untouchable.

His black hair was fixed with a jade crown, and the two long hairs on his forehead were light and flowing, making him even more handsome and handsome.

Glancing at her youngest son, the empress looked very blameworthy: "I'm ashamed to say, if it weren't for you two little bastards who didn't take my place, I wouldn't be able to tolerate me as a mother. You two are working hard. Alas..." The empress wiped away her tears in great sorrow, and closed the memorial.

"Get up. Sit down quickly."

The servants on the side moved a chair, Feng Xihe sat down, and talked about the news he had recently investigated: "I will tell you the truth, the subordinates in the sub-rudder I manage have reported frequently..."

The empress raised her majestic eyebrows: "What's the matter?" She originally had few children. When His Majesty left, the two children were still young, and the court was in chaos. She had no choice but to become the emperor herself in this capacity. But now that the two children are grown up, they actually want to run outside the palace, causing her to abdicate when she is too old.

"This plague came in a strange way. At the beginning, the beggars who died from the disease were the beggars who fled from their hometowns. Later, the nobles were infected, and then it spread to the palace ladies and doctors." Feng Xihe rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes, and his eyes were as sharp as the night sky The eagle foraging: "The plague seems to spread in a large area, and it happens to be controlled in a certain area. It gives the son the feeling that someone is deliberately manipulating everything."

"Then what is the solution for Crane?" The Empress looked at her youngest son. Although neither the eldest son nor the youngest son was easy-going, she liked the lively and cheerful personality of the younger son even more.

"I don't have a solution yet. But I will come up with a solution as soon as possible." Feng Xihe was silent for a moment, and then thought of another thing reported by his subordinates: "However, an intriguing thing happened in the city recently."

The empress listened with squinted eyes, and Feng Xihe continued: "I heard that the emperor of Fusang Kingdom issued a warrant to the world, and he is looking for the traitor Binyuan."

"Oh..." The empress opened her narrowed eyes, tried hard to think, and finally remembered who the wanted person was: "It's that Bin Yuan who abandoned her imperial status three years ago and volunteered to be a businessman." ?”

"Exactly!" When Feng Xihe heard about it three years ago, he was still expanding his sub-helm area, and he was very clear about the small movements of the surrounding countries.

The empress was silent.

She thought of Ye Shengsi and Ye Jiu'er who came from Dazhida country not long ago to beg to see her. If she agreed to send troops at that time, it would probably directly cause Yi country and Fusang country to face each other head-on and break the transaction.

The Empress thought, maybe she could let the two envoys get acquainted with the wanted criminals wanted by the Fusang Kingdom. It would be great if the two could reach a consensus.

"Crane."

"The minister is here, what orders does the mother have?"

The empress wrote a letter of delivery, and asked the maid on the side to take it down and hand it to Feng Xihe: "The two envoys of Dazhida Kingdom must still be at your eldest brother's house, please give this letter to them. If it is helpful Of course, I will not refuse. It is just a matter of starting a war, which needs to be carefully considered."

Feng Xihe looked at the letter in his hand for a while, and frowned. He said that a few days ago, he saw a man and a woman beside his eldest brother, who looked very familiar. They turned out to be from Dazhida Kingdom, and probably also from Princess An's side. people.

"What the empress considers is that this war must of course be carefully considered. Although our country is strong, but if we rashly attack a country without a proper reason, it will inevitably be criticized by the world."

"That's true." The empress nodded and waved her hand, "I'm a little tired today, you can go down too."

Feng Xihe nodded, clasped his fists in salute: "Your servant will leave!"

The female official outside the door closed the door of Baihua Palace, and the female official 'Taosu' who took care of the empress came to the empress's side and gently rubbed the empress' temples with her fingers, and said softly: "Your Majesty has been tired all day, do you want to Is the imperial dining room preparing some food for digestion?"

"No need." The empress denied in a low voice with her eyes closed, she is old and her teeth can't eat the food that young people love, the food prepared for breakfast every day has to be boiled in the imperial dining room to make it thinner before she can eat it.

Taosu has been with the empress since she was a child, and Anyou also brought some servants with her when she entered the palace to choose a concubine. It is a pity that the world rises and falls. Living in this deep palace, it is inevitable that you will fight back and hurt others. Anyou is still an ordinary concubine. Some of the servants who were loyal to her and guarded her died, but now, the only one who is still alive is Taosu, who followed her half-body into the ground.

"Then rest your Majesty, and leave these notes to Wang Li." Tiao Su said.

Speaking of her eldest son, An sighed sadly, she hadn't seen her for a long time, and the back of her eldest son, who was surprised by Fengyun, was a little blurred, and she missed him a lot.

Seeing the empress frowning, Taosu knew that she must have said something wrong, she rolled her eyes, and remembered some of the joys that had been circulating outside the city gate recently: "Then, do you want to go outside the palace to listen to opera? There is a new opera, which is liked by the common people, and now all the servants in the palace are talking about it."

The empress is still not interested. In her opinion, the operas have changed from the past to the present, and the people are not talking about those few: "It's boring and boring. When the late emperor was still there, all the operas in the world could be heard. Could it be that Those few, the thing about transgressors who went to Beijing to catch the exam, fairies who went down to earth to repay their favor, are really boring..." For this kind of drama, I went outside the palace to listen to it. An You would rather stay in the palace, anyway, she can only There are only a handful of old bones left, so it's good to stay quietly, but the outside of the palace can only be entrusted to my two sons.

Taosu covered her mouth and laughed, she knew that the Empress was tired of those vulgar and unchanging bad stories, so she stated what she heard one by one: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I think this story is very good. , Although I don’t know whether the rumors are true or not, but what I heard is indeed very exciting.”

The empress nodded indifferently: "Then tell me?" There was no expectation in her tone. After living a long time, she had never seen any big storms and waves, and there was nothing she wanted to arouse her interest.

Taosu pressed the temples for the Empress, while recalling the content of the story she had heard, sorting it out, telling the truth.

On the other side, Feng Xihe rode out of the palace and went directly to the elder brother's mansion, which was Prince An's mansion.Because neither he nor his elder brother wanted to inherit the throne, they each built a mansion of their own in the palace and managed the industries they had created.

Prince An's Mansion is very grand. On the spacious street in front of the gate, there are bunches of wooden hydrangeas that are blooming. The flower slaves bend over and walk among the flowers to take care of them, taking care of the flowers very well.

I heard that Princess An likes wooden hydrangea very much. Bunches of open white flowers are like snowballs. Over time, the petals will become a gradual change of color, just like human emotions, which cannot be observed.

The servant guarding the gate saw Lord Crane coming on horseback from afar, and hurriedly said to another guard beside him, "Hurry up and inform the butler that Lord Crane is here too!" The servant nodded and ran away When looking for someone in the mansion, I wish I could grow a few more legs.

Feng Xihe got off his horse and handed the rope to the servant at the door. As soon as he reached the door, the nodding butler came to him, "Congratulations to Lord He! Did Lord He come to look for our master?"

He glanced at the diligent butler, and walked towards the backyard of the yard. There was a guest room specially prepared for him, because he often visited his elder brother, and he was very familiar with the servants in this mansion.

"Is brother there?"

The butler nodded quickly: "Yes, I am. It's just that the master may not have time to come here at the moment. The prince will go to the yard to rest first, and I will ask the servants to bring tea!"

"No need, I'm not here today to look for elder brother." Feng Xihe put one hand behind his back and replied flatly: "I'm here to look for the two envoys from Dazhida Kingdom, and I'll be waiting in my yard. You go and bring them both here."

The housekeeper blinked his eyes in surprise, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, nodded and bowed his head and said, "I'll do it now, slave!"

After the housekeeper left, Feng Xihe came to the yard where he usually lived. The cornflowers were blooming. He sat in the room for a while and drank a few sips of tea. After a while, he heard footsteps coming here one after another. near.

Ye Shengsi, who was dressed in a black riding suit, stepped in one after the other with Ye Jiu'er, who was having a temper these days.Ye Shengsi frowned, unable to figure out why Lord Crane, who had never had any contact with them, summoned him, felt uneasy, and even had a nervous expression on his face.

After all, he was in a foreign country, so he had to protect the safety of his little sister.

The eyes of the two men only looked at each other for a while, Feng Xihe hurriedly lowered his head, and replied without saying a word: "The envoy Ye Shengsi has seen the Lord Crane, and the Lord is honored!"

Ye Jiu'er stared at Feng Xihe for a while, then quickly regained consciousness, her face was slightly flushed, and she replied in a coquettish voice: "The envoy Ye Jiu'er has seen the prince, and the prince is blessed and safe!" She deliberately made a soft and provocative voice, I just hope that the prince sitting in the upper seat can take a look at me.

She believed in her appearance, and the moment she bowed her head to salute, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her whole body was filled with an aura of certainty.

Feng Xihe frowned. He doesn't like women who think too much, especially the kind of women who think they are pretty, but they are coquettish, and their eyes are full of calculations.
