bad

After being told so by her, Ying Zhou could only go along with her.Fortunately, it was already night, and he was wearing the servant's clothes, standing behind Xu Jingluan secretly, which didn't make much sense.

The emperor held the concubine's hand and came late, everyone got up to salute, Ying Zhou learned it in a decent way, looked up quietly.

The emperor's facial features were quite similar to Xu Li's, and the shape of his eyebrows was exactly the same as Xu Boyuan's. He was about 40 years old, but he was well maintained and looked radiant.

The woman he personally supported beside him was wearing a floor-to-ceiling dress, with black eyebrows and starry eyes, the tails of her eyes were slenderly raised, her lips were painted with vermilion rouge, a thin white wrist under her sleeve, and her five fingers rested lightly on her. In the hands of the emperor, it is really extremely beautiful.The female officer behind her lifted the tail of her skirt, and she took a seat with the emperor while supporting her slightly protruding abdomen with one hand.

Xu Jingluan quietly winked at Zhou: "That's Concubine Lou."

——Thanks to Xu Jingluan, he has already learned about the situation in the royal family in the past few days.

The current emperor is the half-brother of Xu Jingluan's father, Yu Wang, who ascended the throne 20 years ago, which coincides with the time when Tian Chen said that the dragon's veins were disordered.

As for this Concubine Lou, she entered the palace three years ago, and the emperor loved her very much. In less than two years, she has risen steadily to the position of concubine, and she is pregnant with a dragon heir a year later.The royal heirs are few and far between, and the emperor's dragon heart is overjoyed, so he directly promotes her as a noble concubine. If she can come to Japan and give birth to a dragon son in a few months, the latter probably won't be able to escape.

The emperor exempted himself from the ceremony, everyone was seated, and the servants served the dishes in a flowing water.

Xu Jingluan took a small bowl, filled it with vegetables and secretly handed it to Ying Zhou behind her, and deliberately blocked other people's sight for him, so Ying Zhou also ate a lot without knowing it.

The bonfire crackled and burned, and the flames dispelled the coolness of the night wind and illuminated all living beings.

The dancer is wearing a slim-fitting riding suit, with sword sleeves and corner belts, and a slender waist that can't be grasped. Accompanied by fierce drums, she dances in a sassy dance that complements the vastness of the sky.

After drinking for three rounds, the emperor's mood, which had been gloomy for more than half a month because of the Tanhua case, finally improved a bit, clapping his hands and laughing: "Good! Very good!"

Lou Liuyi sat at the side pouring wine for him, and said angrily, "Is this dance or this person your Majesty said?" The ending sound was slightly picked, so charming.

Compared with Biluo's gentle and moving beauty in spring and March, her beauty is sharper and more dangerous, like a glass of brightly colored poisonous wine, drinking it will kill you, but you still want to take a sip and die without regret.

The emperor held her hand, "Of course you are good at dancing. If you are talking about people, who else in this world can compare to you!"

Lou Liuyi covered her lips and smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is used to laughing at courtiers and concubines."

The emperor and the imperial concubine flirted and flirted, and the people below, drunk or not, kept their eyes on each other, eating vegetables and watching dances.Xu Jingluan was whispering to Ying Zhou through the cover of the maid, and she didn't know what was said, when Lou Liuyi said: "I haven't seen Duankang for many days, the prince said that he was ill, but now he is fine gone?"

Xu Jingluan reacted quickly, one moment she was still talking to Ying Zhou, the next moment she was already sitting upright, "Of course it's so neat, thank you for your concern."

The emperor smiled at Concubine Lou: "I said that her playful nature will cause trouble sooner or later. Fortunately, Bo Yuan went in time, so it's good to scare her."

Concubine Lou Gui said again: "It's all over in a blink of an eye, if you go on like this, I'm afraid the prince will have a headache."

Her words were so tactful that everyone except Ying Zhou could understand that Concubine Lou was mocking Princess Duankang for not being able to get married, and she was staying in Prince Yu's mansion to rely on the eldest son for retirement.

Xu Jingluan smiled dryly, "He has been in pain for 18 years, and it doesn't matter if it hurts for another two years."

——If one word is missing, the meaning is completely different. No one in Beijing knows that the prince loves his younger sister very much, and Xu Jingluan's answer is also ingenious.

Concubine Lou Gui smiled coquettishly, and turned to the emperor and said, "Look, Your Majesty, Duankang's temperament is not the result of being spoiled by the prince!"

"Your Majesty is right," Ying Zhou felt that Xu Jingluan was already a little upset, she said, "My brother is to blame for this matter, if it wasn't for him, I would definitely be able to grow into a great lady."

The emperor was amused by Xu Jingluan, "According to what you say, shouldn't your brother be punished? My good-natured niece was taught to be a tomboy by him, so she should be punished!"

Xu Jingluan laughed along, and glanced at Lou Liuyi calmly. This woman is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She likes her troubles when she has nothing to do. .

Sure enough, I heard Lou Liuyi say: "Look, Yichen, the prince didn't do it on purpose. Men do things naturally, so how do they know how to raise this girl? Duankang is used to being alone, and there is no reference around him. , naturally grows according to her brother's appearance, it would be great if Duankang had a sister!"

The emperor didn't know if he had discussed it with the imperial concubine, and the two sang together very naturally. The emperor shook his head and smiled, "I can't have this sister, but I can still have a sister-in-law. I was talking about this with Dai Xiang earlier. Twenty-five out of ten have not yet married, and the common people in the world may think that my uncle is careless and has delayed my nephew when they talk about it!"

The first half of the sentence seemed to be a joke, and then the emperor suddenly changed the subject of the first half of the sentence, and his tone became harsher, and it was unclear whether it was genuine anger or feigned anger.Ying Zhou couldn't understand the back and forth in their words, but Xu Jingluan's face changed, and she immediately got up and kowtowed, "Duankang is terrified."

As soon as she knelt down, all the people in the Yu Palace who came behind her knelt down. Seeing Ying Zhou, Dou Lian tugged at him in a daze, but Ying Zhou was still slow. The emperor didn't pay attention, and Lou Liuyi next to him But she saw it, although it was only for a moment, obvious surprise flashed across her eyes, and she almost dropped the flagon she was holding.

Xu Jingluan said: "Uncle Huang cares about the world and cares for the younger generation. It is my elder brother who has no intention of doing this. He has repeatedly ignored Uncle Huang's kindness and caused Uncle Huang to make trouble. Naturally, the people of the world can see clearly."

The emperor had a half-smile, "I was just joking, why did you kneel down? Get up, get up, come, go and help the princess up."

The chief servant next to the emperor immediately went to help him up in person. Before Xu Jingluan had time to sit back, Lou Liuyi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you making such a joke? Duankang is scared. Marriage is a matter of parents. According to the matchmaker, King Yu and his wife went early, and the marriage between the eldest son and Duan Kang should naturally be your majesty's concern, and your majesty can't be bothered."

When mentioning King Yu and his wife, the emperor showed a look of nostalgia, "My elder brother's family is suffering too. The two children are entrusted to me. Naturally, I want to do the best for them. It's just that Bo Yuan is not young at this age." , if I don't find a desirable concubine for him, I will have no face to see his father in the future!"

Lou Liuyi said: "Then Your Majesty has to look for someone carefully, he must be dignified and virtuous, worthy of being a gentleman."

Xu Jingluan really wanted to sew Lou Liuyi's mouth shut, but could this woman be more pretentious, would she die if she said a few words? !And the emperor, this routine of slapping a candy, do you think you are training a dog? !

The emperor drank the wine that Lou Liuyi handed over, and said earnestly, "This is exactly what I talked about with Dai Xiang a few days ago, and I already have some clues, I hope Bo Yuan won't disappoint me this time—"

If the emperor said that he had an idea, then he must have already found a candidate, otherwise he would not have brought this matter to the public.But Xu Boyuan is not here at the moment, so tell Xu Jingluan about this matter, sister Xu Jingluan doesn't talk about her brother's affairs, she can't express her opinion on his brother's behalf.But if she doesn't refuse at this moment, it is because of the face of Prince Yu's Mansion, when Xu Boyuan finds out, it will be difficult for her to say no.

"Hehe," Xu Jingluan laughed twice, "That's natural, my brother will naturally understand Uncle Huang's painstaking efforts."

If you understand it, it depends on his brother's intentions whether you want to accept it or not. The words are not dead, but they won't hurt the emperor's face.

Being disturbed by such a disturbance, Xu Jingluan's whole body was as frosty as eggplants, listless, thinking about informing his brother, even though dancing and singing in front of her, she couldn't lift her spirits, and looked frowning Even Ying Zhou couldn't help worrying.

The banquet ended after two hours, Xu Jingluan hurriedly went to Xu Boyuan to ventilate, and asked the maid to take Ying Zhou back to the tent, and went to find his brother with her skirt.

The maid who brought Ying Zhou back to the tent was named Su Yu, she was much more stable than Dou Lian, she was quite trusted by Xu Jingluan.She was leading the way with a lantern, and she didn't say much, and she didn't ask questions about what should be said or shouldn't be said.The banquet had just ended, and there was a rush of people coming and going, and they didn't pay attention to mixing in it.Ying Zhou lowered his head and followed behind her, the journey was smooth, and he saw Xu Jingluan's big tent was right in front of him.

"Ying Zhou."

Suddenly, someone behind him tugged on his sleeve. After a pause, he turned around and saw that it was Xu Li!

Eyes met in the dark night, Ying Zhou suddenly forgot to respond, Xu Li smiled, "It really is you."

He had originally thought that Xu Boyuan would bring Ying Zhou Tong with him, so he looked carefully at the table in Prince Yu's Mansion. The people in Prince Yu's Mansion just knelt down, but Ying Zhou was a little slower, standing out from the crowd, and Xu Li recognized him at a glance. out of him.

Ying Zhou looked back and saw that Suyu was walking ahead on his own. He didn't realize that he didn't keep up.

Xu Li went around in front of him, "Why, are you lost? Do you want to take you back alone?"

"..." Ying Zhou took a step back. Although Suyu had left, Xiaobai was still in Xu Jingluan's camp. He could get it back with the life and death deed, and Xu Li didn't need to send it back.

But Xu Li followed him a step forward, and whispered in his ear: "You'd better follow Gu obediently, or Gu will ask someone to arrest you right now. You are not a hand-picked entourage on the roster, but they are Bring you in, if you are discovered..." Xu Li narrowed his eyes and smiled, the smile was quite meaningful, "Guess what will happen?"

——Can't guess, but it probably won't be a good thing.

Ying Zhou's fingertips were whirling with snow patterns, and he really wanted to press down on the center of Xu Li's eyebrows, but there were too many people around, and although he didn't know what would happen if he was discovered, judging by Xu Li's tone, he might give Xu Boyuan It's causing big trouble with Xu Jingluan, and if you can't bear it, you will make big troubles. At this moment, let's go along with him first, and then you can find a secluded corner and go down quietly with your finger, and you'll be fine.

A man who can bend and stretch, Ying Zhou nodded, "Then I will trouble you and send me back to Aluan's tent."

Xu Li finally felt relieved for a while, and said with satisfaction: "I wish I had been so obedient earlier, come with me."

The author has something to say: Silly Zhou: I am neither dignified nor virtuous...

Xu Jingluan: It's you :)
