bad

The meal was eaten quietly and depressingly under Xu Li's constant air-conditioning. After the meal, Xu Jingluan used the excuse of going for a walk and forcibly dragged everyone to the garden.

The four walked around the lake, Xu Jingluan and Ying Zhou walked in front, Xu Li and Xu Boyuan followed.

Xu Jingluan walked very fast, and in a short while threw the two people behind him half a circle, and the four of them looked at each other across the bank.She looked to make sure the distance was enough, and the people on the other side couldn't hear them, so she breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew - I finally got rid of my brother!"

Ying Zhou Yuguang looked at Xu Boyuan on the other side, puzzled, "Why did you get rid of him?"

He thought that the person Xu Jingluan wanted to get rid of was Xu Li.

Xu Jingluan's face fell down, with sincere sadness on her face: "My brother is so disgusting that he wants to force me to marry!"

"...That's why you ran out?"

"That's right—" Xu Boyuan and Xu Li moved on the other side, and Xu Jingluan hurriedly pulled Ying Zhou to continue circling with them, "I have to fight for myself!"

Ying Zhou glanced at the other side again.

Through the night and a pool of emerald green lake water, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could tell immediately from the silhouette that the one walking in front was Xu Li, and the one walking behind was Xu Boyuan.Xu Boyuan's indulgence and love for Xu Jingluan can be felt even by an unsophisticated person like him. There is no reason to force Xu Jingluan to marry. Ying Zhou shook his head and said: "There are many monsters in Beijing, you are alone It's too dangerous to go out."

Xu Jingluan paused, "...Why did you say the same thing as that person?"

She spoke quickly and in a low voice, Ying Zhou didn't hear clearly, and was about to ask, Xu Jingluan suddenly turned around, "Ying Zhou, can you do me a favor?"

With a serious expression on her face, Ying Zhou couldn't help but nodded, "Well, tell me."

"Aren't you a national teacher?" Xu Jingluan looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and said mysteriously in a low voice, "If the emperor wants to give me a marriage one day, just tell him, you'll Looking at the sky, the princess is not suitable for marriage this year, otherwise there will be natural disasters, okay? Then the emperor will definitely not force me to marry!"

"..." What is night sky watching?

Seeing him thinking, Xu Jingluan added: "Especially Ji Yuyan, you remember this name, especially him, absolutely not!"

Ying Zhou was at a loss, who was Ji Yuyan?

Xu Jingluan grabbed the hands under Ying Zhou's sleeves with both hands and raised them in front of her, and shook them twice, "My happiness in life depends entirely on you!"

... Having said all this, Ying Zhou could only nod his head.

"Woo - I knew you were the best!" Xu Jingluan wiped away her tears, she was moved, she pretended to act for a while, and then she pushed Ying Zhou's back when she saw the people behind her approaching. , with a brisk tone, "Let's go, let's go around again, don't be caught up by them."

The moon was reflected in the lake, and on the other side, Xu Li looked at the two people in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes.

It was really bad luck, bad luck.

He took Ying Zhou out of the palace to relax, went to the bookstore and finally made the beauty happy. It was supposed to be a good time to enhance the relationship. If they hit by mistake, let them run into each other, and if they hit each other, they can't ignore it.

Let Yingzhou and Xu Jingluan be alone, he can rest assured, but Xu Boyuan can't do it, absolutely not, even if he dies.If he knew that he would meet Xu Boyuan today, he would never take Ying Zhou out, it would be like shooting himself in the foot——

"Where did your highness go with the national teacher in the afternoon?" Xu Boyuan's voice behind him was faint, as if he was asking an ordinary question.

Xu Li thought you would pretend, I see how long you can pretend, but her face remained calm, "Just walk around at will."

Xu Boyuan said: "The national teacher likes to read human story books. If His Highness is free, why don't you take him to the bookstore."

Xu Li's eyelids twitched, and she became more and more sure that Xu Boyuan must have sent someone to follow them, otherwise how would he know that they went to the bookstore, and how could it be such a coincidence that Xu Jingluan didn't run away yesterday, and he wouldn't run tomorrow, but today's Run away at that time, let him run into Ying Zhou?

"Gu has already accompanied the national teacher to Jinshizhai in the afternoon," Xu Lipi smiled, "The national teacher is now living in the palace, and the father and Gu will naturally take care of it. Cousin has this free time, why don't you take care of it?" Duankang, show her a husband-in-law candidate, if this continues, I'm afraid she really won't be able to get married."

Xu Boyuan smiled, "Your Highness taught me a lesson. I just received a letter from my grandfather's family last night. In two months' time, the new year will come. My grandfather's family will return to Beijing to report on their duties. A Luan's two aunts will also come back together. I am worried about my daughter's family. If you don’t come, it’s just right to ask your aunts to look after her.”

The news came unexpectedly, Xu Li was taken aback, "Old General Qi is coming back?"

"Yes," Xu Boyuan replied, "it's the fifth year."

Xu Li calculated the year and felt bad.

The military officers stationed outside the pass were not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict, and they could only come back to report on their duties every five years.The emperor sent the Qi family out of the customs in the first year of his accession to the throne, and now it is No.20 years.The climate at the border is dangerous and the environment is extremely bad. The emperor has been waiting for the old general Qi to die, but unfortunately, the sky does not follow his wishes. General Qi is in good health, and he can still go to battle to kill the enemy after he is over 20 years old. A monthly memorial to the capital is all Written by hand, never broken in [-] years.

He also knew that the emperor wanted to give Duankang a marriage. If there was only Xu Boyuan in the capital who was not a prince, the Yu Palace would not dare to resist the order, but if Qi Guan came back and added another Qi family, the emperor would have to re-measured.

"Time flies," Xu Li's eyes flickered, "When will Old General Qi plan to go to Beijing?"

"The military commander reports on his duties. According to the law, he can only enter Beijing after the end of the [-]th year. My grandfather is going to leave on the [-]th day of the new year."

The tenth day of December is less than two months away, Xu Li smiled dryly, "I haven't seen Old General Qi for many years, so I have to have a good drink during the meeting."

Unlucky, really unlucky.

It's fine to send Ying Zhou to Xu Boyuan, and after hearing the bad news for nothing, Xu Li turned his back and pressed his twitching right eyelid, "It's been a long time since I've been here, and I'm tired too. Go back to the palace early."

Xu Boyuan looked over his shoulder at Ying Zhou who was being pushed away by Xu Jingluan not far away, his eyes softened unconsciously, "I will send you off to Your Highness and the National Teacher."

The East Palace carriage was waiting outside the door, the driver had placed the horses, Xu Li stretched out his hand, and was about to help Zhou get on the carriage, when Xu Boyuan suddenly called out behind him: "National Teacher."

"Well?"

When Ying Zhou turned his head, he saw Xu Boyuan holding two familiar boxes in his arms, his eyes lit up immediately.

"It's the jujube paste cake from the dim sum shop on the corner," Xu Boyuan handed over the box, "Teacher take it back."

Needless to say, Xu Boyuan, Ying Zhou has already recognized the box.He passed by that shop in the afternoon, but when he thought that the person next to him was Xu Li, he didn't feel like queuing at all. He didn't expect Xu Boyuan to send someone to buy it.

"Thank you." The corners of Ying Zhou's mouth turned upwards, and the aggrievedness of living in the palace for half a month suddenly disappeared. He obviously hadn't eaten yet, but he felt that his mouth was about to overflow with sweetness.

How could Xu Boyuan be so good?

This person is too good--

He took the box, looked up at Xu Boyuan, his eyes bent into the shape of the crescent moon in the sky, and repeated: "Thank you."

Since that day, Xu Li never mentioned bringing Ying Zhou out of the palace again, but Ying Zhou vaguely noticed that the number of people serving in Fengxian Palace more than doubled.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the year was approaching. Officials from all over the country came to Beijing to report on their duties one after another, and small foreign countries also sent envoys to congratulate them. The palace was decorated with lanterns and streamers, and it was a busy scene.Xu Li also became busy. From the daily report the day before yesterday, until now, she only came to Fengxian Palace to sit for a while every few days. Every time she came, she brought a few chapters with her. There are also a lot of them.

Ying Zhou doesn't feel bored when he reads in a notebook.

This human storybook is completely different from what he read on Nanling Island. It contains a lot of chapters about brothels, and the obscure scenes that I mentioned before are very detailed. Ying Zhou couldn't understand it at first, but Xu Li accidentally brought it I found a picture album in my book, and after reading it, I understood it red-faced.

——It turns out that mortals conceive offspring in this way.

He belatedly understood what kind of place the brothel was, belatedly understood what Xu Boyuan said when he approached him on Qiushui Mountain, and also belatedly understood what Xu Boyuan was talking about when he approached him. What Li wanted to do to him that night.

In the past few days when Xu Li came, he unconsciously moved further away from Xu Li, and felt uncomfortable everywhere when he got closer.Fortunately, Xu Li was getting busier and she didn't come here much, so she would just sit for a while and leave, otherwise Ying Zhou might not be able to resist taking out the ancient fan and blowing him away.

On the day when Qi's family entered Beijing, the emperor went out of the city to greet him with civil and military officials, and Ying Zhou also went with him.

After the winter, the Northland was cold, and the icy wind blew on his face to tear his skin. Fortunately, Ying Zhou was used to staying on Buzhou Mountain, and the charcoal stove was burning in the carriage, so he didn't feel cold.He opened the thick windshield cotton curtain, and finally saw Xu Boyuan whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The other party was wearing a red and black military uniform, and was riding a horse from a distance. His profile was still sharp and handsome, and he was unaware of his sneaky look from the carriage.

There was a vibration from the ground, as if thousands of horses were galloping, getting closer, as if someone was beating drums underground, deafening.Ying Zhou saw the emperor getting out of the carriage wrapped in a thick cloak, Xu Boyuan also got off the horse, followed behind the emperor and Xu Li, and faced the people and horses who were approaching rapidly amidst the dust in the distance.

The leader is an old man, wearing a cold armor, his temples have turned white, but he seems to be in good spirits.

When he was less than twenty feet away from the emperor and others, he reined in his horse and turned over in a beautiful posture, knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor, and his thick and powerful voice passed through the crowd and reached Ying Zhou's ears: "Chen Qiguan, I have entered the capital by order. Debriefing, I respectfully invite Saint Wanan."

The author has something to say: a salted fish that yells for a plot but can't go on, yells for sweetness but can't get sweet.

Today is also an embarrassing day to write =口=
