You don't understand the fairy world

Chapter 50 It's a good plan (1)
Early the next morning, Second Miss Feng entered the palace again, and secretly stuffed a purse into Concubine Feng Gui.

"That's it?" Concubine Feng opened the purse and poured out the contents.There is a delicate and small jasper peanut inside. This jade peanut is green and transparent all over, with good color and good quality.She looked at it carefully for a while, and although it was expensive, she really couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Miss Feng Er took a sip of tea and nodded: "Don't worry, big sister, the little fairy said that you won't be charged for things that don't work. As long as you take it with you, within three to five days, I guarantee that His Majesty's thoughts will be on you." On the body. You can see that although the jade peanuts are small in size, they are of good quality. If they were in an outside shop, they would not be able to get them for four or five hundred taels of silver. Since the little fairy dared to ask us to pay afterward, he was confident."

If it is really an ordinary charlatan who wants to swindle money with all his heart, this person's behavior does not seem to be a liar.Concubine Feng Gui finally had some faith at this moment, she clasped the Jade Peanut backhand in her palm, put it back into her sleeve, and said kindly: "In this family, the second sister loves me the most. If there is a chance in the future, the younger sister will still enter the palace Come and help me, we are real sisters."

It wasn't her words that Second Miss Feng was waiting for. She suppressed her beating heart, lowered her head, and replied in a low voice, "I always listen to big sister."

When she left the palace, the smile on Concubine Feng's face disappeared immediately, she glanced at the jade peanut in her hand with a sarcasm, threw it to the servants around her, and said: "Let Imperial Physician Qin come over and help See if there is anything wrong with this peanut?"

The palace man's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Your Majesty means—"

"Her?" Concubine Feng sneered, shaking her head and said, "She still wants to beg me to bring her into the palace, but she doesn't dare to attack me right now, but she won't know for sure in the future." The Feng family is full of people A Dou who couldn't help her up, her second younger sister was even a white-eyed wolf, and she didn't want to involve herself in it.

After a while, Imperial Physician Qin with a gray beard came to the door in person, and after asking for the Ping An pulse, the palace attendant took out the jade peanuts and asked Imperial Physician Qin to have a look, and said: "It was sent in by the servant's family, because it is outside There may be something wrong with the things that come in, and I am afraid that it will offend the nobleman, so I ask you to go through it first. If there is nothing wrong, the servant will be at ease."

Doctor Qin seemed to believe her words, nodded and took the jade peanut for a closer look, then sniffed it under his nose, returned the jade peanut after a while, and replied with a smile: "don't worry, girl, this is Hetian nephrite seems to have been enlightened by an expert, not only is it not inappropriate, but it is also beneficial to the body."

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved." The palace man thanked him with a smile, and secretly stuffed him a red envelope, and then let the low-ranking palace man serving outside send him out.

"It's actually true?" Concubine Feng was a little surprised, and then she shook her head and laughed again, "This white-eyed wolf really put in a lot of effort to enter the palace." She waved her hand, and the palace servants immediately presented Yu Huasheng, Concubine Feng He held it in his palm and rubbed it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, after a while, he told the palace man, "Bring the pink purse with blue border from last time, and bring it with you when you go to greet His Majesty later."

The Xiao family had a No. [-] spot and a Tanhua, not to mention that the elder of the Xiao family came to congratulate him personally, and even the Mo family asked Mo Qin to send a big gift.But the results of the palace examination have not yet been released, neither Father Xiao nor Xiao Zidan dared to forget about themselves, except for a few relatives who were fairly close at first, they almost stayed behind closed doors.

However, once the imperial examination is over, and the top three candidates handpicked by His Majesty the Emperor are truly settled, the gate of the Xiao family will not be able to bear the enthusiastic visitors.Fortunately, there is Long Xining sitting in the house. His Royal Highness the Dragon King is not a vegetarian. He has a handsome face, and the whole yard seems to be blown by a cold wind. No one dares to venture into it.

However, Long Xining was not the gatekeeper of Xiao's family after all, neither Father Xiao nor Huaiying were embarrassed to let such a noble man like him do this kind of gatekeeper work.At the critical moment, Master Guoshi came forward to help, and sent two guards over without hesitation. People from the National Teacher's Office watched, and no one in the capital really dared to mess around.

On the third day of March, a warm wind blew in the capital, as if overnight, new shoots appeared on the branches and willows.

His Majesty the Emperor held a banquet in Furong Garden to entertain Jinke Jinshi, and the people all over the city went out to watch the excitement.The two street recruiters have always been held by young and handsome Xinke Scholars. This year, these two are especially outstanding. One is a young and promising young man from an aristocratic family, and the other is an upstart emperor, very honorable.How high-spirited it must be to walk on the street on a tall horse for a while.

"I'll go directly to the National Teacher's Mansion in a while." Before leaving, Huaiying couldn't help telling her again and again, "We are not familiar with other places, and we don't know where the flowers bloom. Anyway, the four seasons of the National Teacher's Mansion are like spring. , no matter when you go, there will always be flowers. Moreover, there are people everywhere today, except for the clean side of the National Teacher’s Mansion, other places may not even be able to walk.”

Xiao Zidan nodded and smiled: "I'll take care of it." He didn't dare to take it lightly. The folk customs in the capital are notoriously tough. He heard that there were some envoys who were knocked out a few years ago and went back to worship. He didn't want to This kind of thing happened to me.

Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, Long Xining teased, "Why don't I let the people from the third brother's house follow, otherwise, if you are robbed by someone in a while, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your innocence."

Xiao Zitan gave him a cool look, and said in a low voice: "Mo Qin asked friends from Jingzhao Yin Yamen to help me open the way."

Only then did Huaiying feel relieved, and said with a smile, "I should thank you when I look back." With the guards on the side, everyone should have scruples in doing things.

In the Hibiscus Garden, not only His Majesty the Emperor attended in person, but even the National Teacher, who had never attended such occasions very often, also arrived.No wonder there were rumors outside that the master of the State Teacher looked at the Xiao family father and son differently, but it turned out to be true.

Since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the Qionglin Banquet held once every three years is no longer as solemn and dignified as it was in earlier years, and it seems much more relaxed and lively.Before the envoys from the two streets arrived, the Jinshi of the new department had already arrived, and gathered together to recite poems and compose Fu.The courtiers also relaxed for a rare time, drinking and talking lazily. It was inevitable that someone would ask about the Xiao family's father and son, and someone well-informed pointed to Xiao Ling who was wearing a navy blue brocade robe among Jinshi and said, "That's the one, um, He really has a naive and straightforward appearance.”

His Majesty the Emperor's comments on the father and son had already spread out, so the image of Xinke No. [-] as a straightforward and honest person immediately became popular among the people. "I'm going to the Imperial Academy to study." The Imperial Academy is a clean place, and since it is for studying, it has nothing to do with them, so the courtiers felt that Xiao Ling was more and more kind and lovely.

"Your Majesty, try this fruit wine." Concubine Feng poured a glass of wine for Du Heng graciously, and brought it to him with a smile, her eyes as gentle as water.Du Heng glanced at her and didn't make a sound, but still took the wine kindly, but didn't drink it.

"Haven't the two flower-exploring envoys come back yet?" Du Heng glanced at the hourglass in the corner and asked in a low voice.

Immediately a palace official replied: "If you go back to His Majesty, you haven't come back yet."

Long Xiyan smiled and said: "This year, these two recruiters are really outstanding, regardless of their looks and talents, they are all the best in a thousand. If there is a girl in my family who has not left the court, I have to try every means to knock them out and get them back. Today Whether or not they will be able to retreat unscathed is really uncertain."

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.

Besides Huaiying's side, as soon as Xiao Zidan went out, she went to the street with Long Xining to watch the fun.This is a grand event that only happens once every three years in the capital. It is said that as soon as the two flower hunters approach, there will be countless beautiful girls scrambling to pounce on them.In the early years, the flower-exploring envoys still rode in horse-drawn carriages. They only had to walk half a street, and the carts were filled with handkerchiefs and fruits. I was blocked and couldn't get through. Later, when I couldn't do it, I changed to riding a horse.

The loofah alley was still clean, but as soon as he got out of the alley, Huaiying was immediately frightened by the enthusiasm of the people.The street was crowded with people, as if the whole city had rushed to the street overnight, and there was almost no place to plug in. Huaiying had no right to make decisions at all, and could only walk slowly to the south with the crowd .

Long Xining saw the opportunity, and as soon as he grasped Huaiying's hand, he never let go: "There are many people on the street, be careful if you get lost." He leaned close to Huaiying's ear and whispered, "You can never let go!" Don't let go, otherwise, maybe Shao Cheng will take this opportunity to come and take you away." As soon as he said the words, he felt that the possibility was very high, so he quickly pulled Huaiying into his arms, Afraid of getting separated from her.

He was so close that he could almost smell each other's breath. Huaiying was a little uncomfortable and wanted to break free, but found that he had no way to go, and there were people all around him, and he couldn't squeeze.Seeing this, Long Xicui made more and more progress, and squeezed closer to Huaiying, saying shamelessly, "Oh, there are so many people, it's too crowded."

Huaiying has nothing to do with this little rascal.If she really wanted to change to a wretched man, she would definitely slap him without even thinking about it, but for Long Xining, she couldn't slap him anyway.

They walked away with the crowd for half an hour, but they never saw Xiao Zidan and the other escort.The people around finally dispersed a little bit, Huaiying couldn't watch the excitement, so she decided to go back, Long Xining was a little unhappy, he still couldn't bear to let go.

"How about we go further? Maybe we can meet your elder brother." Long Xining wanted to continue persuading her.Huaiying shook his head firmly: "Didn't he say that there are officials from the Jingzhao Yin Yamen to help open the way? Maybe they have already gone to Furong Garden at this moment. Anyway, I can't see him, so I just go back and listen to them when they come back." that is."

Long Xining had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The two walked slowly towards Loofah Lane while talking, and were talking and laughing when Long Xining suddenly froze and raised his head to look across the street.

Seeing this, Huaiying immediately followed his gaze. On the opposite street, a young man in a black robe was looking at the two of them and smiling slightly.Perhaps it was because Long Xining's attitude was not quite right, Huaiying immediately felt that he was not a good person, even the smile on his face seemed not very frank, it was gloomy and creepy.

Although there was only one street away, Huaiying couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. He only felt that he was surrounded by clouds and fog, and he had an unfathomable posture.

"Shao Cheng." Long Xining took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

Huaiying's heart tightened suddenly, and she couldn't help but tightened Long Xining's hand: "What should I do? Do you want to run away?"

"What are you running away from?" Long Xining showed a determined expression on his face, "Call my third brother and Du Heng over, the three of us together, are you afraid we won't be able to stop him?" He took out one from his arms while talking. The round white bead the size of a longan, with a light pinch, the bead immediately shattered, emitting a soft white light, quickly ascending to the sky, and slowly spreading.

This is probably a tool for their gods to warn each other, Huaiying thought to himself, with the three of them around, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about.

It was nearly noon, and finally someone from the palace reported that the Tanhua envoy had returned, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the gate of the garden.Most of the civil and military officials had never seen these two envoys, they all lowered their heads and talked and pointed.

The young Lang from the Shen family is about 16 years old, he is not yet mature, he looks like a child, but Xiao Zidan has inherited his father's tall stature, and is more than half taller than the young man from the Shen family. The head became more and more tall and elegant, with a personable demeanor.

Your Majesty has a good eye!All the courtiers praised secretly in their hearts, and at the same time secretly wondered whether there were any female relatives in the family who had not left the court. Such an outstanding and good son-in-law should be accepted as their own son-in-law.

The two flower inspectors presented the folded flowers and wrote a poem respectively, and then it was time for the new scholars to perform.Although the envoys on the two street tours stole most of the limelight, but after all, His Majesty the Emperor is here, and hundreds of civil and military officials are gathered. As long as there is an opportunity, who would not want to be able to show one or two here, but whoever is looked at differently by any adult will have a bright future. There is hope.

The Furong Garden was very lively. Du Heng seemed to be in a good mood, not as high as usual, with a rare smile on his face, and when he looked at Concubine Feng Gui, his eyes could even be said to be very gentle.Concubine Feng Gui only thought that the jade and peanuts on her body had played a role, and she became more and more proud.

Only Long Xiyan seemed a little absent-minded, looking up at the sky from time to time, frowning, as if he had something on his mind.The courtiers were always afraid of him, and they didn't dare to ask more questions, they just pretended not to see him.After a while, Du Heng couldn't stand it any longer, so the palace servants came over to call him, and after calling him in front of him, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Why are you absent-minded today?"

Long Xiyan frowned and shook his head slightly: "I can't tell, I just feel a little flustered in my heart. I don't know if something happened to Wulang." , If you really encounter any danger, even if you can't beat it, there will always be a chance to warn, and it will never be so calm.

Du Heng is well aware of Long Xiyan's temperament, he is definitely not a person who makes a big fuss, for no reason, how could he feel this way?He pondered for a while, then discussed in a low voice: "If you are worried, go back and have a look. There is nothing wrong with this place. If there is any accident, please report to me quickly." These days Shao Cheng has not moved, Du Heng always felt that he seemed to be planning some big conspiracy.

Long Xiyan nodded, took his leave quickly and left.

West Street Liuye Lane.

The whole alley seemed to have been struck by lightning, with ruins and walls in a mess.Holding on to a broken rock, Long Xi Ning forced himself to stand up, while panting heavily, he wiped his face and the blood from the corners of his mouth indiscriminately, stared straight at Shao Cheng not far away with his red eyes, and shouted in a hoarse voice : "Come on, come on again."

Shao Cheng's appearance is not very good-looking, although he is thousands of years older than Long Xining, and his cultivation level is far beyond what Long Xining can match, but Long Xining's desperate ruthlessness also makes him very angry. Headache.He didn't want to kill people, especially the lively and protective family of the Dragon King. If there was anything wrong with Long Xining, whether it was the old Dragon King or Long Xining's unreasonable brothers, it would be enough for him to have a headache.

Shao Cheng persuaded him patiently: "Xiao Wu, why are you so stubborn? Although you have a high understanding and a pure immortal root, you are thousands of years younger than me. No matter how hard you try today, you can't be me. In this case, why don't we discuss it calmly. The third princess is at odds with you, even if you don't even care about your own life for her, can she accept your affection? Why bother with yourself.

"I know what you are waiting for. Don't you just want to wait for Lao San and Du Heng to come and save you? But think about it carefully, if I don't have a perfect plan, how dare I come to the capital to find you. Even if you wait until dark, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait." Reinforcement. Now you have two paths in front of you. You can either hand over the third princess now and we will leave here, or you will die in battle and I will take her away in the end. No matter how you say it, the last three princesses will not be saved. "

I have to say that Shao Cheng is indeed quite eloquent. Huaiying, who was hiding behind the wall, had to admire him even after hearing these words. Even she herself felt a little worthless for Long Xining after hearing these words. .

Since Long Xining is not Shao Cheng's opponent, even if he stands in the front, he may not be able to stop Shao Cheng's pursuit. Instead of letting Long Xining lose his life in vain, it is better for her to stand up and save Long Xining suffer again.

With this thought in her mind, she immediately made a decision, took a deep breath and turned around from behind the wall, and said with a straight neck: "You just want to catch me, I'll just go with you, and you don't have to implicate anyone else."
