There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 222
Tang Wanning's heart hurt like a knife, she held his incomparably handsome face with tears shining, kissed him on the cheek seriously, and told him.

"Xia Houjue, if you weren't the emperor, I'm afraid I would have fallen in love with you long ago, and I wouldn't wait until now!"

"It's okay, I can wait!"

"If that little bastard doesn't come, I'll take you to wait. In fact, being an emperor doesn't require three thousand beauties in the harem. I don't plan to draft. There are already enough women in the palace, and they are all trained!"

"I will treat them generously, and I will be with you!"

……

After exchanging heart and soul, Xia Houjue did not force Tang Wanning any more, and he seldom mentioned this matter again in the future.

After the second day of junior high school, Xia Houjue took Tang Wanning to another courtyard.

When they went there, they also took away several highly skilled imperial physicians from the imperial hospital. Tang Wanning smiled wryly, she had to tie the bell to untie the bell, and a heart disease required a doctor of heart medicine. What's the use of bringing an imperial physician?Is she healthy?

This time they went to the Royal Courtyard, and they stayed until the Shangyuan Festival before going back reluctantly.

On the night of Shangyuan Festival, Xia Houjue took Tang Wanning to pretend to be an ordinary citizen on the busiest street in the capital, ate glutinous rice balls, rice balls, guessed lantern riddles, and won rewards before returning to the palace reluctantly.

After the Lantern Festival, the year is completely over.

Tang Wanning who returned to the palace had no more thoughts, and didn't want to waste time, so she brought Biyue and Biluo to practice arrows in the imperial garden every day.

Because she doesn't like to be disturbed, and she doesn't like the concubine hanging around, so Concubine Gao has already warned her.

'As long as the empress has gone to the imperial garden, you are not allowed to go again. If anyone dares to disturb the empress, the palace will never forgive him lightly. '

With these words, whenever Tang Wanning went to the Imperial Garden, there was no one to be found in the huge Imperial Garden.

In February, the weather is getting warmer.

This day Tang Wanning took Biyue and Biluo to the Royal Garden to practice archery. Her archery skills have been perfected, and she has been in the palace for several years. She did not expect that she would have such a harvest. It is really gratifying.

After hitting the bull's-eye three times with one arrow, someone behind him applauded suddenly. The voice was so familiar, it must be Xia Houjing who didn't run away.

"When did His Highness the Sixth Prince come?" Tang Wanning smiled and stepped forward.

"My empress, my brother went to see my mother and concubine, and I just passed by here!" He stopped three steps away, with soft eyes, gentle manners, and polite manners.

"You can just call me third sister-in-law, why not be so polite, Mrs. Li is in better health?" Tang Wanning laughed.

"My concubine's health is much better, thanks to the emperor's brother and sister-in-law's careful care!" Xia Houjing smiled brightly, as warm as jade.

"I didn't take much care of it. The sixth brother is too polite!" Tang Wanning shook her head.

Li Taipin has been imprisoned for so many years because she gave birth to a child behind the queen's back. Now that she is in good health, it can be seen that God still has eyes, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

"After the new year, does the sixth brother still want to go on a long trip?" She asked casually.

"Yes!" He smiled warmly: "After the new year, the weather will be warmer, and my mother and concubine's body will gradually recover, and I can go out and travel without worry!"

What he loves the most is travelling. Over the years, he spends far more time outside than in the palace. Even if he is helpless outside, he can meet everything, but compared to the deep palace, it is still clean many.

"I heard that the sixth younger brother often goes to the south of the Yangtze River to cook wine and comment on poems with those romantic talents. It's really enviable to be so leisurely!" Tang Wanning likes Xia Houjing very much, the kind of affection that friends and brothers like.

In her heart, the sixth prince Xia Houjing was the cleanest and most spotless in the whole palace.

There is not even a concubine around him, he keeps himself clean, cooks wine and talks about poetry, poetry, wine, calligraphy and painting, what a leisurely and elegant prince.

Xia Houjue also loves this younger brother who has been with him since he was a child, promoted him to the throne, built a palace for him, and treated his mother Li Taipin kindly.

This pair of brothers is probably a rare person in the royal family with three views, strange and upright.

With such liking, she treated Xia Houjing very warmly. She only had an older brother and no younger brother, and this Xia Houjing made up for the vacancy of her younger brother emotionally.

"Third sister-in-law's praise, it's just to pass the time with nothing to do, it's really not worth mentioning!"

He glanced at Tang Wanning, seeing the brilliance in her eyes, he only took one look and then stopped looking, he was afraid that if he took another look, he would not be able to restrain the love in his heart and would lose his composure.

"It's not too early, if there is nothing else to do, the younger brother will leave!"

"Sixth brother, go slowly!"

Tang Wanning watched him leave with a smile.

Under such gaze, Xia Houjing left with a beating heart, his steps were messy, his heart was beating like a drum, and his face was a little flushed.

After passing the rockery and walking a long way, his mood gradually recovered.

Hehe, this woman in a fiery red dress with bright eyebrows, he will never get his hands on it in his life, what is he thinking about? !

……

Xia Houjing wanted to leave Beijing in February and live in the old house in the south of the Yangtze River.

But just the night before he left Prince Jing's mansion, news came out from the palace that the Tubo tribe in the north of Daxia was coming to Beijing to meet the new emperor, and by the way they brought the Tubo king's favorite little princess Ansaiya.

This Ansaiya little princess is sixteen years old and is the jewel in the palm of the Tubo king. She is known as the number one beauty in Tubo. It's a marriage.

The Tubo tribe is rich in jade, melons, fruits, cattle and sheep, but is in short supply of food. They have had good relations with the Great Xia Dynasty in the past, but Emperor Jingyuan came to power a few years ago.

There were natural disasters, man-made disasters, riots and famines in Daxia, and there was no food to exchange with them, so the two countries cut off contact after going back and forth.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Tubo tribe intends to restore the old relationship, and they have come all the way to see him, and they have also brought their most beloved little princess, which shows their sincerity.

It's a pity that he didn't understand one thing, that is... the new emperor doesn't like women.

Xia Houjing got the news, thought about it and decided not to leave.

Firstly, this is state affairs and diplomacy, as a prince, he should have the responsibility to share the worries of the emperor's brother; secondly, it is because of the woman in red.

It is said that in order not to disappoint her, the emperor's brother has already regarded the whole harem as nothing, and he does not even enter the harem, just to stay with her.

It's a good thing, and she deserves it.

But this time, in the face of the huge benefits brought by the Tubo tribe, will the emperor compromise, and will he fail that woman again?
If the fish and the bear's paw cannot be had at the same time, will the emperor abandon her?These were all unknowns, he was worried, so he stayed in the capital.

……

At the beginning of March, the Tubo brigade entered Beijing.

Perhaps in order to show their sincerity, they only brought five hundred soldiers with them, and there were no more people left.

For this trade, they brought not only the little princess, but also hundreds of cattle, sheep and horses, and hundreds of boxes of jade treasures, just to complete this transaction.

Marriage, business, and restoration of the old are good.
