Liu Huafei

The capital of Xiao Kingdom, Zhenyang.

The army that the Emperor Yujia personally conquered moved back to the court, and the whole capital was decorated with lights and festoons, boiling up.The people lined up a long queue along the long street, waiting for the emperor's guard of honor outside the city gate to march slowly.

The emperor's younger brother, the current Prince Xiao Guorui, Yuan Qi personally led a hundred officials to welcome the army back to the court outside the city gate.

Nian Hua and Cheng Zihan sat in the carriage, opened the curtain a crack and looked out.I saw Yuan Mutian dressed in the emperor's formal attire, riding on a tall carriage drawn by eight rare and famous horses surrounded by guards at the front.Prince Yuan Qi of Rui rode a tall horse and accompanied the emperor on the left front of the car.

Xiao Guo's royal family is not as expensive as bright yellow like the Qing dynasty palace that Nianhua often sees on TV, but instead uses simple and heavy black.Yuan Mutian was already good-looking, but when he wore this formal suit, he looked like a beastly dressed elite with high IQ.Nianhua looked very sad.

Yuan Mutian had a majestic expression on his face, and occasionally waved to the left and right sides, which would set off a continuous roar like a tide in that direction.

"Oh, it's better than the crazy little girls in our place chasing stars." Nianhua smacked her lips and exclaimed, "Sure enough, the personal charm of being a leader comes from having a handsome face and a good figure first!"

"You think Yuan Mutian is good-looking?!" Cheng Zihan glanced at Nianhua listlessly, and said weakly.

When Nianhua heard this, he piled up a flattering smile and leaned forward: "No matter how handsome and good-looking he is, he is not as handsome as you, not as good-looking as you, Zihan~"

Cheng Zihan had long been used to his glib tone, so he didn't care too much at this moment, snorted, and continued to close his eyes and rest his mind.

Nianhua continued to lift the curtain to look out. At this time, he had already passed Shijing Street, and the ranks on both sides were no longer chaotic ordinary people stopped by a group of soldiers, but real soldiers.

Yuan Mutian stood up from the carriage, walked to the front row, and held onto the railing in front of the carriage with one hand.Gusts of strong winds blew, and Yuan Mutian's heavy imperial clothes flapped, and he walked slowly in front of the phalanx of soldiers who couldn't see to the side, and for no reason gave birth to an aura of looking down on the world.

Where Yuan Mutian walked, the soldiers were solemn and silent, but they raised their spears in unison and saluted far away.

Nianhua sighed again, and said with emotion: "So there is a miniature military parade. The dog emperor is really a waste of money and people." He turned around and saw Cheng Zihan's listless face. Cheng Zihan pulled to the window, raised the curtain for him to see, and said in his mouth: "Zihan, don't be so disappointing, watch it with me."

Nianhua squeezed behind Cheng Zihan, looking at the solemn ceremony outside where there was no noise except for the neat sound of weapons colliding, he said unwillingly: "The ancients are too boring, the military parade should be like this──"

Yuan Mutian glanced at a column of cavalry passing by──

"Hello, comrades!" Nian Hua growled in a rough voice.

The cavalrymen raised their spears and pointed at the sky, standing in front of their chests, their movements all came to a stop with the sound—

"Hello, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Mutian stood on the carriage and continued to move forward. The ear power trained by internal strength can hear the sound several meters away. What's more, there is no sound at this time, only the carriage not far behind has been unwilling to be lonely. twitter.

"Comrades have worked hard!"

"Serve the people!"

"Comrades are tanning!"

"The emperor is also tanned!"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Zihan couldn't help laughing.Yuan Mutian glanced over, and saw that the Xiaoqi guards beside him also distorted their faces one by one, trying to hold back their smiles, and Yuan Qi opened his mouth completely disregarding his image, barely making a sound up.Yuan Mutian only felt a twitch in his forehead, and faintly had a migraine.

Fortunately, this ceremony was not the military parade that Nianhua said, but just a formality, and the group was quickly welcomed into the first gate of the imperial city.

Hundreds of officials had already been waiting here, but at this time Qiqi bent down and knelt down, and made a big salute. For a while, the entire imperial city was filled with the sound of shouts of long live.Yuan Mutian stood in front of the car with his head held high, accepting the respect of all the officials.

Even Nian Hua didn't want to watch these scenes anymore, so she just obediently nestled in the carriage with Cheng Zihan, holding her chin, with a serious expression, not knowing what she was thinking.In fact, his thoughts were simple, he was just thinking about when he would be able to fully open his golden finger that passes through the protagonist. envy, jealousy, hate.

After all the complicated matters, Nianhua had lost the mind to visit again, until he was invited out of the carriage where he lived for a long time in a daze, and went through several palace gates with Cheng Zihan, entered a side hall, and stood at Yuan Mutian In front of the two brothers Yuan Qi.

At this time, both of them had changed their formal clothes and only wore casual clothes.Yuan Qi held the teacup, looked at Nianhua playfully for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, this is your little boy pet who bumped into Wanliu that day? Looking at it now, he is still a good boy." , not half fat and powdery."

Listening to what seemed to be a compliment to him, Nianhua couldn't help puffing out her chest proudly, with her nostrils upturned.But Cheng Zihan stabbed him in the back, frowned and said: "Others are running on you, you really take it as a compliment."

Naturally, his small movements could not escape Yuan Qi's eyes.Wu Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Zihan: "His Royal Highness, Prince Ji, you are really a rare visitor."

This time, Nianhua keenly sensed Yuan Qi's unfriendly eyes, and vigilantly blocked Cheng Zihan behind him, looking at Yuan Mutian who had been silent all this time.

Yuan Mutian said: "Okay, Yuan Qi, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has already surrendered, so you should also let go of your past grievances."

Cheng Zihan also came out from behind Nianhua, looked at Yuan Qi frankly, and cupped his hands and said, "Prince Rui, don't come here without any harm."

Nianhua was slightly startled by Cheng Zihan's calm and quiet attitude.He obviously hated Yuan Mutian so much, Nianhua thought he hated everyone in the Yuan family, after all, it was the entire leadership of the Xiao Kingdom who ordered such torture on his body.

Yuan Qi gritted his teeth and squeezed a smile from between his teeth: "I'm fine, of course I'm fine. Even His Royal Highness Ji Wang is alive and well, but this Wang Qi will be unwell. This king's life is still waiting for His Royal Highness Ji Wang." Let’s reminisce about the old days.”

Nianhua looked around confusedly, it seemed that Yuan Qi hated Zihan to the core.Yuan Mutian didn't leave too many chances for the three of them to gossip, so he said to Nianhua: "Nianhua, you saved my life this time, and you have meritorious escort. But your origin is unknown, your origin is unclear, and you have no military merits, so Right now, I can only let you be my bodyguard first, taught by Ling Qing, and then follow the way of a courtier."

Nian Hua didn't expect Yuan Mutian to reward him for his meritorious deeds, but now he is very satisfied with what he said.What Yuan Mutian meant was to give him a retainer first, and to become a worthy official, he still had to work hard on his own.This is very reasonable, Nianhua touched his chin and nodded in agreement.

Yuan Mutian said to Cheng Zihan again: "His Royal Highness King Ji..."

"Brother, I have known His Royal Highness Ji Wang for many years. How about letting His Highness Ji Wang stay at my house for a few days so that we can catch up on the old days." Yuan Qi interrupted suddenly, a pair of The eagle-like eyes did not move away from Cheng Zihan's body.

Before Yuan Mutian opened his mouth, Nianhua decisively pulled Cheng Zihan behind him, like a hen protecting its cubs, and said sternly, "No!"

This Yuan Qi has no good intentions at first glance, if Zihan enters his territory, I don't know what will happen...

Nianhua made up her mind not to let Cheng Zihan leave her side, at worst she would not be the emperor's bodyguard.Unexpectedly, Cheng Zihan pushed him and said, "Nianhua, you don't have to worry. I just want to have a good time with Prince Rui... to catch up on the past."

Nianhua said anxiously: "What old relationship do you have with him to talk about? Aren't we all sworn enemies?"

"When you pulled me here, why didn't you think that we are sworn enemies." Cheng Zihan glanced at Nianhua lightly.There was no sense of blame in that glance, but Nianhua suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Yuan Mutian waved his hands and sighed: "Since both of you have the same intention, King Ji will go back to the mansion with Prince Rui. I just took advantage of this time to build a mansion for King Ji, so I will not neglect His Highness Ji Wang."

Cheng Zihan glanced at Yuan Mutian, he was able to maintain the superficial peace, and thanked him politely.Yuan Qi stayed for a while, then took Cheng Zihan with him on the pretext of leaving.

Nianhua looked at Cheng Zihan's slender back worriedly, wondering if it was right or wrong for him to bring Cheng Zihan here.He was hesitating in his heart whether he should snatch him away now and leave this Xiao Kingdom Palace.

Yuan Mutian said: "You don't have to worry about King Ji. He is my guest, and no one in Xiao Kingdom would dare to hurt him."

Yuan Mutian walked down with a smile, took Nianhua's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see where you live."

Nianhua glanced at the direction Cheng Zihan was leaving, but saw that he was also looking towards him. When he met his gaze, Cheng Zihan was slightly startled, then motioned him to calm down, turned around a door, and disappeared figure.

Nianhua followed Yuan Mutian all the way, and felt more and more wrong as he walked, the scenery on the road became more and more familiar, and he had already arrived at the place where the emperor's harem lived in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.When the two of them stopped, Nianhua took his eyes back from the once extremely familiar scenery around him. When he looked up, he saw the three big characters written on a plaque above his head in Nuoda - Nianhua Palace, Nian Hua suddenly felt a pain in his eyes.
