Rebirth of the Golden Bastard

Because of the arrival of foreign envoys to Beijing, Xia Yunqing couldn't hide even if she wanted to.

The palace has long been decorated with lights and festoons, giving it a lively atmosphere.Xia Yunqing stood by the pond in the palace with her hands behind her back, behind her were servant girls who were busy running around in the wind.He stood motionless under the willow tree, looking at the green lotus leaves in the pond from a distance, which seemed a bit out of tune with the atmosphere.

Wu Sheng had already arrived in the palace to help, and at this time he brought his second brother Wu Song around from the stone corridor of the garden. The two were talking, and when they saw the man in black under the willow tree from a distance, they came over by coincidence.

"Brother Yunqing!" Wu Sheng cupped his fists and said, "Why is he here alone?"

Xia Yunqing turned her head, and the slight sadness between her brows disappeared immediately.He also returned a salute and said, "I just have nothing to do, just look at the scenery."

Wu Song also said, "It's getting hotter and hotter today."

Xia Yunqing nodded, remaining silent as usual.His eyes fell on the lotus leaf in the distance again, and he couldn't help but think of the man he met in the dining room in the morning.

Xia Cangqiao was wearing a leaf-colored blouse today, as if a ray of breeze brought vitality to the hotter summer day.The black hair is in a wide band of the same color, and because it's too hot, it's tied together like a ponytail, and even my father can't help but praise that it looks much more energetic than before.But his eyes kept falling on the white neck exposed by the man, and he felt his heart beating, and he didn't know what kind of demon it was.

"Why didn't you see Cang Qiao?" Wu Sheng was familiar with the two of them now, turned his head to look around and asked, "Isn't he always with you?"

Xia Yunqing said: "I disappeared after breakfast, I don't know where I went."

Wu Sheng also laughed: "You don't think about where he went?"

Xia Yunqing was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

Wu Sheng looked at him, "I understand that you didn't pay much attention to Xia Cangqiao in the past; but these days you two always stay together, even if you see Xia Cangqiao occasionally, you will find him soon. What do you say now? Yes, I'm not used to it."

Xia Yunqing did not expect her attitude to be so obvious in the eyes of others.My heart skipped a beat, an indescribable feeling.He turned his eyes away in panic, pretending to be calm: "I'm not always with my eldest brother, recently... I'm busy with family affairs."

"That's right." Wu Song said next to him: "When it's the hottest time, it should be the Xia family's annual festival!"

Wu Sheng also came to his senses, "Hey! How did I forget this!" He patted Xia Yunqing's shoulder as he spoke, "This year's Xia family's embroidery workshop is also highly anticipated. I heard that several empresses in the palace wanted to grab this year's "Treasure" has already made a fuss!"

Naturally thanking Xia Yunqing for this compliment, the three of them chatted for a while by the pond, and seeing that it was almost time, they walked towards the other side of the garden.

In the largest garden in the atrium of the palace, a high stage has been set up long ago.Murong Ya saw Xia Yunqing from a distance and said: "You are here, I was looking for you!"

Xia Yunqing was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Murong Ya looked at the people chatting around, pulled him aside and lowered his voice, "Can you see your elder brother?"

Xia Yunqing shook her head, but said in her heart: Why do everyone ask about the whereabouts of big brother when they see him now?He must know it?

Murong Ya didn't see the complicated look on Xia Yunqing's face, she frowned and said, "It's all good now, I don't know what trouble he's going to make!"

As soon as Xia Yunqing heard the word "troubleshooting", Xia Yunqing felt nervous and asked, "What happened?"

It seemed that when the eldest brother went out in the morning, he was indeed in high spirits.The brave general next to him said: "He came to the mansion in the morning and asked about the time when the young master's envoy will arrive in Beijing, and also asked about today's arrangements."

Xia Yunqing was taken aback, then looked at Murong Ya, "This is considered a secret, how can outsiders know?"

He didn't believe that Murong Ya would tell Xia Cangqiao so easily.If the news leaked out and someone with a heart took advantage of it, once the envoy's visit to Beijing was messed up, there might be another war on the frontier.

Murong Ya was also embarrassed, and said angrily: "How would I know the purpose of his coming? I just thought he was wrong, and followed what he said, but I didn't expect to be tricked out of it."

The titan was still laughing at the side: "As soon as the young master meets the young master Xia, the ability of the number one genius will be gone."

Murong Ya immediately turned her head to stare at him, and the hero hurriedly looked down at the upper of the shoe.Xia Yunqing was also worried at this time, it's fine that the elder brother usually doesn't have a score, if something happens in the palace...

Just imagining it made him break out in a cold sweat.

Several people hurriedly searched for Xia Cangqiao throughout the palace, but the palace is so big, and they don't know what he has in mind.Where is it easy to find?

At this time, Xia Cangqiao was hiding in the third prince's room, changed her clothes and came out from behind the screen.

Si Kong Yanjin slowly asked the servant girl to put on the formal attire and crown.Putting on a set of brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, the noble temperament that usually appeared even more prominent, he raised his hand to let the maid tie her belt, and squinted at Cang Qiao.

"It's true that people rely on clothes." He said: "You look like this, I'm afraid Huaque can't compare."

Why do you say that?Because Cang Qiao was wearing bright red and purple clothes at this time. His short shirt in the morning was hung on the screen, and his black hair was scattered on his shoulders. Being hooked out of the soul.

The maid next to her hurried forward to help comb her hair, all blushing, not daring to look directly at the man.Hua Que, who was waiting beside her, also opened her eyes wide. Hearing Yan Jin's words, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, Cang Qiao looks good in anything."

Cang Qiao half covered her face with her wide sleeves, leaving only a pair of phoenix eyes, with a smile in her eyes, but her mouth was serious: "My lords, Xiao Qiao is very polite."

"Little Qiao?" The third prince lifted his robe and sat in a chair at this time, and the servant next to him brought tea, and he took it while asking, "What nickname did you give yourself?"

"That's not it!" Cang Qiao put down her sleeves and turned around, the long hem of her clothes dragging the floor with all kinds of charm, "From now on, my young master will be a famous actor in the troupe!"

Hua Que's face was still worried, "Is this really okay?"

In fact, he has already met someone who shouldn't meet, so it doesn't matter if he wants to go on stage.It's just that when I think of the expression that person might have, I feel a complicated feeling in my heart.

Cang Qiao looked at him, "It's agreed that I'll take your place, and I can't go back on my word." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, I think it's very interesting!"

Both Sikong Yanjin and Huaque paused, thinking at the same time: This is your real purpose.

……

When everyone was present, the food and wine were served, and the foreign envoy was invited into the garden.

Xia Yunqing and the others reunited at the table, and asked each other with their eyes, and the answers they got either spread their hands or shrugged their shoulders - they couldn't find it!

Xia Yunqing always felt a little restless, as if something was going to happen.But at this time everyone was here, and he couldn't wander around in the palace, so he had to sit down.

As soon as the messenger arrived, the princes and princesses also came to the garden one after another.There are still many fine traditions in the royal family. The women are feminine and the men are majestic. When the most watched princes arrive, the atmosphere in the garden will reach a peak.

As soon as the Ninth Prince entered the garden, his gaze swept across the crowd.It was obvious that he was looking for someone, and many people saw it, and they were secretly curious.

When the third prince entered the garden, there was a characteristic smile on the corner of his mouth.His gaze met the Ninth Prince who had just sat down, and he immediately raised his eyebrows. The Ninth Prince knew it, but his brows frowned.

Although the emperor promised that Huaque would not have to go on stage, as long as he helped.It doesn't matter who is on stage in the troupe, but can Xia Cangqiao really be the pillar?It has to be said that most of his agreement to this opinion was purely out of curiosity, and Xia Cangqiao's way of assuring his chest made people believe and look forward to it involuntarily.

He shook his head secretly, not knowing whether the bet he made was worth it or not.If things went wrong, wouldn't the prestige he had built up so hard be in vain?

But Xia Cangqiao's involuntary feeling made him feel unbelievable.

The messengers from other lands were chattering, but no one could understand them, so an interpreter next to them was essential.After exchanging pleasantries, the emperor waved his sleeves lightly, and gongs and drums sounded on the stage.

The theater troupe also put in a lot of effort this time. First came a juggling show, and after winning the house, it was another wonderful contest.The emperor nodded in satisfaction, turned his head to look at the envoys, but saw that they were not interested, and seemed not very interested.

The Ninth Prince watched clearly from the side. He picked up the teacup to drink tea, covered his mouth with the teacup and said to the person behind him: "Go and serve tea to the envoy."

The people behind quietly responded, walked to the side of the messenger and bent down to pour tea for them.

At first, the envoys felt bored, but when they looked up and saw the people coming, they were stunned one by two.

Who are you talking about?It was Hua Que who came to help.This was discussed by several people a long time ago. Huaque saw that there was nothing wrong with Cang Qiao at the third prince's place, so he went to the courtyard of the ninth prince.Hastily changed into a servant's attire, and the elegant clothes made him look like a handsome scholar, with the unique warmth of Jiangnan.At this time, the eyebrows are lowered and the eyes are smooth, and the usual desolation is much less, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye.

The eyes of those envoys fell on Hua Que, but they put aside the performance on the stage.The Eighth Prince, who was sitting far away beside the Ninth Prince, only noticed Hua Que at this moment. He was holding a teacup in his hand and forgot to drink it. He was also startled when he saw the man.

Applause broke out in the back seat, the martial arts show was over, and it was the finale.Xia Yunqing was still worried at first, not knowing why the elder brother hadn't shown up at this hour, maybe something happened.

I was still thinking about it, but suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the field.He heard Wusheng gasp next to him, and the garden suddenly fell silent, and he could even hear a needle drop.

He looked up in a daze, and when he saw the person in the middle of the stage, he froze.

A Pianpianjia son, like an elf who has strayed into the mortal world.Black hair with a crown, a purple jasper belt, a pink face, willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, kneeling on the ground in an orderly manner, with an open folding fan beside him.

The black hair fell in front of him as he saluted, making the smiling face even more indescribably moving.Without the usual idleness, her outfit is not as heroic as before, and it actually completely shows Cang Qiao's other side of charm.

It was a familiar face, but everyone present couldn't remember who this beauty was for a while, only Xia Yunqing and Wu Sheng recognized it, and they were all dumbfounded.

"That's not..." Murong Ya was also dumbfounded, holding a teacup in her hand and waiting to recover, half of the tea had already been shaken out by herself.

It's no wonder that Wu Sheng always laughed at him like a daughter's family, and Cang Qiao is used to being a fool on weekdays, so it's better to suppress that charm with a capable attire.But at this time, he was deliberately dressing up as an actor, and the appearance of a pear tree pressing on a begonia was simply astonishing.

Xia Yunqing didn't know what Wu Sheng said in his ear, her eyes fixed on the man above, as if she could burn a hole in the man with her gaze.

Clenching his fists slowly by his side, for some reason, Cang Qiao's appearance was seen by everyone, and the jealousy he had never felt was overwhelmingly pressing towards him.
