Chapter 195 Missing my Third Brother, Called into the Palace

Shen Hao signaled Xu Fu to go ahead, and then squatted down in front of Shen Xing with a soft sigh, "Xing'er, do you know why elder brother did this? In fact, this is the intention of the superior, if I don't do it—" He looked at Shen Xing gently Looking at her only sister, "My life is fine. Ever since I entered the court as an official, I know that I need to be prepared to die at all times. But you are still young, and I don't want to burden you as a brother."

"I still remember that my parents entrusted you to me before they died and asked me to take good care of you. I am a scholar. I can't do anything but ask you to take care of my daily life. Seeing that you are so well-behaved and sensible at such a young age, do you know that you are so good?" How uncomfortable is it in my heart?"

Shen Xing stood there without speaking, staring at Shen Hao in front of him with a dark face, as if he wanted to see something from his face.It's a pity that she is still young, where did she come from such a great ability.

A little bit of tenderness, it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false, let alone see through Shen Hao who is pretending to be extremely deep.

Lies are always the best.

Shen Hao gently hugged Shen Xing, and continued to say softly, "Do you really think my brother is so ruthless? How can you abandon the feeling of adversity at will. My brother really likes that girl, don't you want to have a sister-in-law?" What's more - if I do it myself, I may save Brother Confucian life, and I can help you in times of crisis, but do you think that if someone else does it, they will show mercy to you, Brother Liang?"

Shen Xing's body froze in shock, and he raised his head immediately.

Sighing helplessly, Shen Hao sat on the threshold, looking extremely annoyed, extremely distressed, "I don't want to do this either, but you have to understand, my brother can't help himself. I did this to preserve Confucianism. Brother. Your brother Liang offended the high officials of the court, and those are all ruthless people. If I mix up with your brother Liang, not to mention your brother Liang's life is in danger, even our brothers and sisters will suffer."

"Then I can ask sister Xia Yu for help." Shen Xing sat next to Shen Hao.

"Silly girl!" Shen Hao shook his head, "Do you think that everyone is just like you, with a hot heart? People can change. When your sister Xia entered Prince Rui's residence, she is a member of Prince Rui's residence. Brother Yiru If you dare not go to her, why do you go to her? Could it be that Brother Liang is more stupid than you?"

Shen Xing lowered her eyes, "Brother, can't you help Brother Liang? I don't want him to have an accident."

"Don't worry, my brother is just pretending to send people to chase him down, and he won't do anything. If not, how can he act for others? If you don't go, there will always be someone else. If you change someone else, you will definitely not be under Brother Liang's subordinates." Show mercy." Shen Hao stroked his sister's forehead with a smile, "You, don't think about it, don't kill a group of people if you don't hear clearly in the future. I just discussed with Xu Fu, why are you pretending to kill people? While escorting, you just broke in, and you almost died unjustly."

"If someone with a heart finds out and this scheme is exposed, it will be a big deal. Don't blame me for not being able to save brother Yiru. This is all a disaster caused by your carelessness."

Shen Xing hurriedly covered her mouth, "I won't tell, I promise to keep it a secret."

"Good boy." Shen Hao smiled, "Brother still has something to do, you go and play! Don't tell anyone about this. When your brother Liang comes back from work, I will take you to play with Shao Fu. Then you can play." Have a good time with your brother Liang. How about it?"

Shen Xing smiled, nodded repeatedly, and then stretched out his little finger, "Hang yourself with the hook, brother, don't lie."

"En." Shen Hao hooked his fingers with her.

After thinking about it, Shen Xing asked, "Brother, is that girl you like pretty? Is she as pretty as her mother?"

"It's beautiful." Shen Hao smiled, "It's beautiful, you will definitely like it."

Shen Xing smiled, eyebrows curved, "Then I will wait to drink my brother's wedding wine. When my brother has a baby, I will accompany my sister-in-law to play with the baby, okay? When my mother is alive, what I want to see most is my brother." Marry a wife and have children."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Shen Hao's heart softened in an instant, he hugged his sister gently, and smiled softly, "When Xing'er grows up, brother will find you a good family, and then I will buy you many, many The dowry, let Xing'er get married in a good manner."

Shen Xing put his arms around Shen Hao's neck, buried his little head in his brother's arms, and said nothing.

After a long time, she suddenly said, "Brother, I miss my mother and want to go home."

"This is our home, you will be where your brother is, and our brother and sister will always be together." Shen Hao sighed softly, "Go and play, I have something else to do!"

Shen Xing nodded obediently and sensiblely, jumped out of Shen Hao's arms reluctantly, and walked away with three steps.

It wasn't until Shen Xing's back disappeared in front of him that Xu Fu quickly turned back.

Shen Hao rolled his eyes coldly, and glanced at Xu Fu, "Follow the plan, go get ready."

Xu Fu nodded, "Yes!"

Some people must die.Because living is an obstacle.

When the snow melted away, it was a sign that the Daxia Mission was about to return to Daxia.That night, Xie Huan stood on the high top of the city, looking at the brightly lit and bustling city.From now on, never see it again!
I have mixed feelings in my heart, with mixed feelings.

She doesn't know how to describe her state of mind at the moment, those girls who are waiting to marry in the boudoir, some are youthful and excited, and some are soul throbbing.But for Xie Huan, there was only unspeakable suffering.

But these hardships are such a glory in the eyes of others.

The Seventh Concubine, the future Seventh Concubine—what's the point?

Leaving home, far away from the land one loves, it becomes a luxury to look at it later.Her relatives, her hard work, and her soldiers will all be left in this piece of land watered by her blood.

I can't take it away!

There were subtle footsteps coming slowly, and in the darkness, his voice was low and cool, "Everything is ready, how are you?"

Xie Huan stretched out his hand and pointed, "Did you see it? If I hadn't brought the Xie family soldiers to guard the border, how could there be such a beautiful flower? But I have no regrets, at least one day I will go to the Netherworld and see the ancestors of the Xie family. Zong, I can kowtow respectfully, without being ashamed of their spirits in heaven, without dishonoring the Xie family's lintel."

The man didn't speak, just stood quietly.

"I only hope that one day everyone will return to you, and the world will be peaceful. Even if I die in a foreign land, I am willing." Xie Huan took a deep breath, "I am a citizen of Dayan, a subject of Dayan, and I love this place. This piece of land, I am also loyal to the people on this piece of land.”

"Follow the plan and be careful yourself." The man walked away in a huff.

Xie Huan nodded, "I will."

At least before returning to Great Xia, she can't die, and she can't let the Seventh Prince have an accident in Dayan's territory.

If something happened to the Daxia Mission in Dayan, then Daxia would have enough reason to send troops.However, King Daxia was seriously ill, which hindered the morale of the army, and it was absolutely not conducive to sending troops, so there must be a name for sending troops that would make the people angry.

The Seventh Prince is quite popular among the people in Daxia, and he is also quite prestigious in the army, because he is brave and resourceful and close to the people. Relatively speaking, the voice of the Seventh Prince Yuan Hao is much higher than that of the Crown Prince.

"If you like it, I can build a capital city for you in the future." Yuan Hao stood beside her.

She glanced at him and knew that this guy had changed back again.But I didn't intend to pay any attention to it, I still stared at this intoxicating scene of thousands of lights.

Yuan Hao took a deep breath, "I know, marrying Da Xia far away is not what you want. But the matter is a foregone conclusion, even if you want to go back on your word, it's too late. In this life, you are my person in life, and my soul in death. When it comes to Da Xia, you will be the Seventh Imperial Concubine."

"Who said I want to go back on my word?" She gave him a cold look, "Xie Huan's word must be practiced, since he agreed, he will not go back on his word even if he dies. It's just that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is so free, and now he is willing to change his identity. Aren't you afraid of being stared at by the prime minister again?"

"Don't let the prime minister see our quarrel, how can he feel at ease?" Yuan Hao smiled as he said.

Xie Huan sneered, there were a lot of probing people underneath, and they really were haunted.She frowned and looked at him, "Maybe it will be more perfect if I give you another slap in the face? Are you not allowed to play the whole set?"

Yuan Hao's face tightened, "No need!"

"Then let's get well each other, there's still a lot to do tomorrow!" Xie Huan turned around and left.After taking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and smiled coldly, "I would like to advise Your Highness, practice martial arts well, so that I will not have to protect you in the future, which will make people laugh."

After finishing speaking, he hummed softly and left quickly.

Yuan Hao sighed softly, rubbing the center of his eyebrows helplessly, and looked at Xie Huan's leaving back.

It's okay to say other things, this martial arts - how can it be accomplished overnight?If you say practice well, will you be able to practice well?This Xie Huan came from a family of generals, and his martial arts skills are rare, so if he compares with her - it is clear that he will suffer.

But the daughter-in-law is chosen by herself, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, she has to bear it herself.

When entering the palace to bid farewell, the scene was truly magnificent.Civil and military officials watched, and everyone in the world watched, Xie Huan had a heavy responsibility and married Daxia far away.With the aura that a princess should have on her head, and her wedding dress like fire, she reluctantly got into the Fengluan car, and then paused for a long time before putting down the curtain in her hand.In the future, it will be difficult to see it again.

Even if goodbye, it should be many years later.

The Seventh Prince Yuan Hao's car was in front, while Xie Huan's car was behind.

Two cars, one in front and one behind, drove out of the capital mightily along the ten-mile long street, leading the Daxia Mission and Dayan's escort team.The moment she left the city, a strong woman like Xie Huan suddenly burst into tears.

Tears fell silently, and then she quietly wiped them away without leaving any traces.

Qingyun and Qingyu sighed softly, "Don't be sad, princess, this is a helpless move."

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that my saber fell into the residence of the Marquis of Zhenyuan. Qingyun, go and help me find it. I can't take away every plant and tree here, but the saber has been with me for many years, so I can't lose it. Yes." Xie Huan took a deep breath and lifted the bead curtain covering his face.

Qingyun nodded, "I'm going now, servant girl! Princess Luanjia will go first, and servant girl will soon catch up."

"Okay." Xie Huan nodded, "Go and come back quickly."

"Qingyu, take good care of the princess." Qingyun got out of the car, glanced at Qingyu on the car, "I'll be right back!"

Qingyu smiled, "Don't worry."

Seeing that the carriage behind stopped slightly, the Seventh Prince Yuan Hao frowned, then glanced at Ha Tu, "Follow me and see what happened. On the way back, don't make any troubles."

Hatu nodded, got out of the car immediately, and rode his horse to chase after Qingyun.

The convoy continued to move forward, but Liang Yiru took advantage of the moment when the convoy attracted everyone's attention, and quietly led people away from the side gate of the capital.According to the emperor's order, he ordered a special envoy to thoroughly investigate the case of Huamanlou in Daizhou.Wherever you go, do things cheaply, and you can patrol and shepherd for the sky.

Accompanying him is Li Kaifu, a great internal expert selected by Zhao Lu himself, he is a fierce general under Guo Sheng's subordinates, and his martial arts are naturally excellent.

Li Kaifu led a team of Yulin soldiers, disguised as ordinary people, and went straight to Daizhou with Liang Yiru.

All this happened in silence.

It is proceeding step by step, so that no one can easily notice it.

The street was so lively, Xia Yu naturally wanted to join in the fun.Standing at the door of the teahouse, watching the mighty Great Xia Mission leave, Xia Yu curled her lips, "Every time I use women to quell the war, alas—"

Xunmei smiled, "It's not surprising that they are all tricks used by the court."

Luo Hua ate melon seeds, "Actually, it's pretty good. I think the Seventh Prince looks square and upright, but he's also a good-looking talent."

Xia Yu clicked his tongue a few times, "If I knew it earlier, I would let Luo Hua go and make a kiss, so as not to waste Dayan's generals."

"What the young master said is very true!" Xunmei laughed and echoed.

"You guys!" Luo Hua stomped her feet, "I'm just talking, you always make fun of me!"

"Look, your face is blushing." Just as Xia Yu finished speaking, a carriage stopped in front of her.

Seeing this, Xunmei and Anu quickly stepped forward to stop Xia Yu, and they didn't know who the other party was. No matter when or where, the two dared not relax their vigilance easily.

Shunzi poked his head out from inside, then jumped off the carriage with a smile, "Young Master Xia, it's the slave Shunzi."

Xia Yu pushed away Xunmei and Anu who were in front of her, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Shunzi, are you here to join in the fun?"

"Mr. Xia made fun of it. The emperor said that he has been very busy during this period. He has not seen his third brother for a long time, but he was in a hurry. This does not mean that the servants were sent over as soon as the delegation left, and Mr. Xia was invited to enter the palace to talk about it. The servant went to Prince Rui's Mansion, saying that he was going out. The servant thought that Mr. Xia must like to be lively, so he searched all over the street, and finally he found it." Shunzi smiled and opened the curtain, "Mr. Xia, please Bar!"

"Entering the palace?" Xia Yu frowned. It is possible that Zhao Lu knew about the torn book of Wenhua Palace last time.So once the mission left, he would settle accounts after the fall?Did the Zhao family inherit a stingy nature?
Zhao Laojiu is so picky, so is Emperor Zhao Lu so stingy?

Cursing her lips, Xia Yu was a little reluctant.

When Xunmei stepped forward, what she disdained the most were these rootless servants, who groveled and did bad things.In her heart, those who come out of the palace are not good, they are used to calculating others, and their eyes are sly, which makes her very displeased.

"Young Master doesn't want to go, Your Excellency, please go back. I won't send you off!" Xun Mei stared coldly.

She is the left envoy of Baihua Palace, if her eyes are cold, those eyes are enough to freeze three feet.

Shunzi was startled, then his face collapsed, and he looked at the hesitant Xia Yu flatteringly, "Young Master Xia, look, if you don't go, the servant can't explain to the emperor. The emperor's side - you should think about it! You You are sworn brothers with the emperor, this emperor—"

"If you don't go, you don't go, stop talking nonsense." Xun Mei clenched the cold sword in her hand.

"Xunmei." Xia Yu stepped forward, "I'll go."

The emperor didn't know why, so he summoned himself well.Zhao Shuo was not in the mansion, and he was nowhere to be seen early in the morning, presumably he had something important to do.If she turned against the emperor now, it would be inevitable - what's more, as Shunzi said, after all, he is a brother who worships the master, even if the emperor has plans for Prince Rui's residence, he would not blatantly deal with him, would he?
As long as Zhao Laojiu has power in his hands, the emperor shouldn't—at worst, use himself as a bargaining chip.

But she is not stupid, she will be used as a bargaining chip in the hands of others.

From the beginning of Xie Huanyuan's marriage, Xia Yu has no affection for the people in the palace.Whether it's a cowardly emperor, a powerful queen mother, or a smart and elegant princess, she is unwilling to provoke her again.

Especially the way Empress Dowager Bao Yao looked at her, as if poisoned, made her feel inexplicably flustered.

She has never been so afraid of a person in her life.

She was really, really a little scared of the Queen Mother.

Seeing Xia Yu getting into the carriage, Xunmei said coldly, "Young Master, let Anu follow!" Anu also came out of the palace anyway, although she is a criminal slave, but no one knows that she is following Xia Yu , so it is quite convenient to enter and exit the palace.

Xia Yu nodded, and Anu followed.

Seeing the carriage drive away, Luo Hua stomped her feet anxiously, "What should I do? Why are you summoned into the palace after being in good shape? Does the emperor really just want to see the young master? But I don't think you all look very good, yes? Isn't the young master in danger?"

"You go back to the mansion. If the prince comes back, tell him immediately that the young master has been called into the palace. I will go to the people of Baihua Palace and hope to find Prince Rui as soon as possible." This matter must be resolved by Zhao Shuo.

It's not that Xunmei is worrying, but she can see clearly the current situation.

There are many secret whistles in Baihua Palace, and she makes people watch her every move in the capital quietly.Overtly and secretly, someone was targeting Xia Yu.Whether she is the young master of Baihua Palace or the servant of Prince Rui's palace, she is an extremely favorable bargaining chip.

So no matter whose hands Xia Yu falls into, it is an extremely dangerous existence.

Before the Great Xia Mission left the territory of Dayan, Xia Yu must not make any mistakes.

This is not a personal grievance, nor is it an alarmist talk. If it is not done well, it will become a disaster for the whole country.

Seeing Xunmei disappearing into the crowd, Luo Hua hurriedly ran to Prince Rui's residence, she wanted to go back and wait for Prince Rui to come back, if something happened to the young master, she felt that she didn't want to live anymore.

But just after entering the back door, she heard someone whispering not far away, Luo Hua was stunned, and quickly ran to the side of the big rock to hide.

The voices were getting closer and closer, it seemed to be Ye Eryu and Xing'er.

Ye Eryu sneered, "This time, I must deal with her once and for all."

Xing'er echoed with a smile, "Miss, don't worry, now that the mission is gone, we don't have any worries anymore. It just so happens that the prince is not at the residence today, what a godsend."

With that said, the two quickly left the door.

How did Ye Eryu get out through the back door?The two whispered, what can solve her?

Luo Hua's eyebrows suddenly raised, damn it!You can't say it's the son, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Hua poked her head out in a hurry, but only saw the two getting into the carriage.Put your mind to one side, don't worry about him, just chase after him.Ye Eryu was used to being hostile to Xia Yu, and now he was afraid that something would happen again.

When Luo Hua was in a hurry, she put Xun Mei's order to stay in the mansion and wait for Zhao Shuo behind her, and hurriedly chased the carriage away.

People's horses have four legs, but she chases them with two legs.

Fortunately, the girl from the countryside is used to running under her feet. Although she can't keep up, she can still follow from a distance, so as not to be left alone.The carriage was not driving fast, and it drove forward smoothly along the uneven forest path.

Getting farther and farther away from the city, Luo Hua felt a little regretful.

What if something happens to a person who is so far away?

But thinking of the sneaky looks of the two of them, and Ye Eryu's gnashing of teeth, Luo Hua felt that she had to do something for Xia Yu.Xia Yu was so kind to her, never disliked her identity, and even forbade her to call herself a slave, where can I find such a good person?Even if he died for her, he would just give his life back to her, nothing serious.

Thinking of this, Luo Hua felt that she had strength again.

Finally, the carriage in front of her stopped, her feet softened, and she leaned directly behind a big tree, but she covered her mouth and nose tightly, not daring to let out too much panting.

She poked her head out and looked out, and she saw Ye Eryu, master and servant, got off the carriage and headed towards the small hut in the forest.Pushing away the fence yard, he walked directly into the house.

How could there be a hut in this remote place?

Isn't Ye Eryu a lady?How come here?

Luo Hua has a hundred thousand reasons in her heart, but she can't find the answer.The answer lies in that hut.Taking a deep breath, she looked around and found that there was a small path leading to the back of the hut, but—it was gloomy here, Luo Hua swallowed subconsciously.

It doesn't matter, since she has come, naturally she can't be allowed to back down.

After thinking about it, Luo Hua quietly walked around the path and arrived at the back of the hut.She tried her best to suppress the sound of her footsteps, and quietly approached the window, trying to hear what was being said inside.

The voice inside was a bit chaotic, and she tried her best to identify whose voice it was through the window.

The sound was very low, probably because of the window, so I couldn't hear what was being said inside.But her intuition told her that the people inside must not be good people. There seemed to be three voices, one of which was an unfamiliar female voice.

Could it be that Ye Eryu came to look for her?

Thinking of this, Luo Hua moistened a little bit of saliva with her fingers, and quietly poked a hole in the window paper, lying there quietly watching every move inside.There were indeed three people inside. What Luo Hua saw was the back of a woman, but she couldn't see her real face.But she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would startle the snake, startle the three people inside, and bring disaster to herself.

She just listened quietly outside, listening very carefully, but she also knew that their target was Xia Yu.

No matter what, she couldn't let these damned women deal with the young master.

Suddenly, Ye Eryu didn't know what he heard, but he got up hurriedly and left quickly with Xing'er.Luo Hua was in a hurry, should she hurry up and take a look?But after thinking about it, no, it's all about catching thieves and catching stolen goods. I don't know who the woman Ye Eryu is going to meet, how can she leave so easily?
Thinking of this, Luo Hua had no choice but to restrain her temper and did not leave with Ye Eryu's master and servant.

After a long time, she plucked up the courage to lie down on the small hole and watched quietly, but the woman inside still only had her back.She really wants to know, who is this woman?Looking at the back, it seems a little familiar!
Where do you seem to have seen it?

The next moment, the woman inside turned around quietly, and smiled coldly at the window.The smile is so cold that it makes people's hair stand on end.

Luo Hua quickly covered her mouth and nose, and squatted under the window for an instant.

A pair of eyes widened, his body became extremely cold in an instant, and his whole heart began to tremble violently.

is her!

It was her!

No, she must go back and tell the young master as soon as possible!

Hearing that there was no movement inside, Luo Hua ran away.

She ran like crazy in the woods, trying to run back along the same path.But he didn't know that in the thatched hut behind him, a woman with an extremely cold face slowly walked out, her eyes were cold and gloomy, without any light.

Looking at Luo Hua's running back, this kind of embarrassment of running away makes people feel very comfortable.

In the dark, a black shadow landed steadily beside the woman, grabbed her slender waist casually, picked her up and carried her back to the room, and pressed her on the table without saying a word.

With a low hoarse gasp, accompanied by the woman's coquettish anger, "Aren't you afraid that she will spoil something good?"

"Let's talk about it if we can get out alive!" The man sneered, and then there was the voice of men and women talking about peace.

In the secluded thatched hut, the sound of clouds and rain came one after another, accompanied by the moaning between men and women.A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is as good as not being able to steal, it's true at all.

Hence, Luo Hua never came back.

------------------

Xia Yu said "Ouch", and actually bit her own finger, the pain was so painful that tears almost fell out.She hadn't bitten her finger before eating, but the force of the bite made her bleed hard.

Zhao Lu hurriedly put down the plane in his hand, and hurried over to see what happened, "You said that you can bite your hand after eating a snack, and you are really convinced. There is nothing missing in this palace compound, except you. Meat? If you think it’s too little, tell me, brother will bring you some snacks, so you don’t have to bite your own fingers to eat.”

"I didn't pay attention." Xia Yu hesitated.

What's wrong?I just lost my mind!
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Lu had asked Shunzi to fetch the medicine box, "Come on, let me bandage you."

"It's okay." Xia Yu waved her hand.

But Zhao Lu grabbed her hand, her hand was smooth and white, extremely soft.He touched the harem concubines one by one, but he didn't find a pair of hands like hers that people couldn't put it down!

A little distracted, but Zhao Lu came back to his senses immediately, and carefully bandaged her with medicine, "Be careful, if there is a bump, won't the emperor not settle accounts with me after returning?"

She smiled, "Zhao Laojiu is not so unreasonable."

Zhao Lu frowned and looked at her, "Zhao Laojiu?"

Realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Xia Yu chuckled, her eyes were like crescent moons, "I mean, Prince Rui."

"It seems that you have a very good relationship." After Zhao Lu finished bandaging, he was still a little reluctant to let go of her hand, and finally Xia Yu pulled it back by herself.

Ever since she was with Zhao Laojiu, she didn't like being touched by other men, especially skin-to-skin relatives.

Of course, except for Liang Yiru and Huzi.

They are her brothers, they have played together since they were young, and their relationship is naturally unusual.

However, although Zhao Lu was kind to her, there was a layer of emperor status behind him.What's more, if you don't have that much thought to live in this palace, how can you survive until now?Ever since Xie Huan married Da Xia, Xia Yu had a faint feeling that apart from the methods of Duke Su's government, the emperor and the empress dowager were probably looking forward to it.

Isn't what Zhao Laojiu said that day just to remind her?
Xia Yu smiled, "It's nothing, just a little flesh wound, it will be fine soon." She got up and stretched, "By the way, Brother Emperor, are you really okay looking for me today?"

"Why, big brother misses you, and you are not happy to let you come to play in the palace? We are brothers who worship, so it is not interesting for you." Zhao Lu smiled and asked Shunzi to tidy up his things, and then Rolling down the sleeves, "Do you think my place is too boring, why don't I take you to the Royal Garden for a stroll?"

"The empress dowager—" She didn't really want to see the empress dowager Bao Yao.

"The Empress Dowager is chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall today, she won't be in the imperial garden." Zhao Lu took her hand and walked out.

Xia Yu struggled and withdrew her hand, "Brother, just go forward, and I'll follow behind. I'm arguing with the emperor, and if people see it, how can I say I'm decent!"

That's what she said, but Zhao Lu rubbed her palm, and was a little reluctant to let go of her hand.

But the emperor is the emperor after all, if he acts recklessly, it will indeed attract people's attention.For Xia Yu, it did have some influence.Thinking of this, Zhao Lu smiled and took two steps forward, Xia Yu followed behind him looking around.

When you come to the palace, look carefully from left to right, from front to back.

Keep the road in mind, no matter what happens, you will not let yourself lose at the starting line.

In the huge imperial garden, it looked a little bleak, and the chilly wind kept pouring into the skirt of his clothes.Although the sun was very bright, Xia Yu always felt that her body was too cold, so she shrank subconsciously.

"Is it cold?" Zhao Lu took off his cloak and put it on Xia Yu's body.

"No, no." Xia Yu hastily declined.

Zhao Lu frowned, "This is an imperial decree."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yu naturally didn't dare to move.The imperial decree, no matter how stupid she is, she should know that disobeying the imperial decree is a capital offense.Curling her lips, she could only walk in the imperial garden wearing Zhao Lu's cloak.

It can be seen from a distance that the concubines look happy.

It is rare for the emperor to come out for a stroll, and he usually does not have the turn to attend the bedtime, so it is great to be able to show his face in front of the emperor now.But before they even got to the emperor, guards stopped them outside and no one was allowed to approach them.

In the pavilion, Xia Yu wrapped her cloak tightly, "Why is it so cold in this palace? It's not as warm as outside?"

Zhao Lu drank tea and looked around the huge imperial garden, so what about the carved railings and jade brickwork, some places are destined to be much colder than ordinary places.But he has been cold for many years.

"Because the world is cold and human feelings are weak." Zhao Lu responded in a low voice.

Xia Yu rubbed the tip of her nose, "The emperor also said such a thing, it's unbelievable."

Zhao Lu looked at her puzzled, "Why can't I tell you?"

"The world belongs to you. Isn't the coldness and warmth all a matter of your words? Look at those empresses, but they all wish to see the emperor, and treat you well!" Xia Yu glanced at the concubine who was stopped outside. .

"Is it true?" Zhao Lu asked.

Xia Yu pursed her lips, "Then I should ask Brother Emperor—how much sincerity do you have?"

Zhao Lu was taken aback, no one had ever asked this question before.

sincere?

What is sincerity?
Can you really survive at a critical moment?

"As the saying goes, compare your heart with your heart. Everyone has no heart. How can you talk about sincerity?" Xia Yu blinked. She didn't understand those high-sounding official words. Those who tell the truth are monsters, but those who tell lies become the truth.

Zhao Lu clenched the cup tightly in his hand, as if he couldn't understand Xia Yu in front of him, and stared at her fixedly, "Then tell me, what is a heart? In this palace, do you think everyone has a heart? "

"The emperor's heart is naturally different from that of ordinary people. The storyteller said that a king has the world in his heart. Is the elder brother the same? So you feel a little tired?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, holding an apple in front of him, "sad Sometimes, when you are unhappy, eating something sweet can make you feel better. Actually, why do you think about it so much? Thinking about it can make it come true, so wouldn't it be better for everyone to dream?"

After taking the apple in her hand, Zhao Lu suddenly smiled, but saw that she started to eat the snacks on the table again, as if nothing was difficult for her.There is always a smile on the face, "Why do you like to laugh so much?"

Xia Yu chewed the snack in her mouth, smiling like a crescent moon, "Will you feel better when you look at me smiling? If I don't smile all day long, then everyone around me will also suffer. Face? Smile for yourself and for others to make everyone happy, isn’t it good? A sad face all day, can solve the problem? Sad yourself, and let others worry, not at all significance."

Zhao Lu was startled, but lowered his head and said to himself, "No wonder Uncle Huang likes you so much."

"What?" Xia Yu didn't hear clearly.

Zhao Lu smiled without saying a word, just looked at her quietly.For a moment, he suddenly hoped that the third younger brother in front of him would be a third younger sister.While Xia Yu turned his head to look around, Zhao Lu also secretly looked at Xia Yu's ears, but there was no sign of piercing.That is, she doesn't have pierced ears.

For girls in the Great Yan Dynasty, their parents would pierce their daughters' ears after they were born, hoping that their daughters would be safe and prosperous in the future.Therefore, the women of the Great Yan Dynasty, regardless of their status, even Xie Huan, who fought on the battlefield, had pierced ears.

Because more than 100 mothers from Huamanlou adopted her, they never planned to raise her as a daughter.Women have to pick up guests sooner or later. If they are raised by men, one will not suffer, and the other will avoid the footsteps of women who go to Huamanlou in the future.

This was probably the happiest thing in Xia Yu's life!
Zhao Lu frowned, no?
He wanted to lower his head to look at Xia Yu's Adam's apple, but Xia Yu wrapped herself up tightly. She used to wear a scarf around her neck, a thick one in winter and a thin one in summer.So unless you reach out and touch it, you can't tell it from the outside.

"What are you looking at, big brother?" Xia Yu pulled the corners of her lips, and smiled coldly, "I don't have any money or good looks on me. What's more, the two big men are watching so carefully, so I'm not afraid that others will misunderstand Da Yanchao The emperor also learned the virtues of Prince Rui?"

Zhao Lu's face became hot when he said this, and he laughed so embarrassingly.He coughed twice, took a sip of tea pretending to be nonchalant, and saw Princess Zhao Yan walking slowly from a distance.

Zhao Lu paused for a moment while holding the teacup, his eyebrows narrowed, "Why is she here?"

Seeing that it was Princess Zhao Yan, the guards naturally did not dare to stop her.

Zhao Yan walked gracefully and walked to Zhao Lu to salute slowly. Xia Yu was startled for a while, then quickly got up and saluted Zhao Yan, "See you princess!"

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, "How come Xia Neishi has no time to enter the palace today?" Saying that, she sat down gracefully and calmly, it seemed that she didn't intend to leave.It's just that the way she looked at Xia Yu seemed a little—
