Dinon

Yuan Shuyi folded his arms and watched with great interest Tuo Bachen's face blushed by a group of peasant men and stood at a loss on the ridge of the field, secretly laughing in his heart that he really is a little guy who blush easily.

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Several peasant women who were working together blushed, spit on the man who said this, and said to Tuoba Chen, "Don't listen to him, Chen'er, be careful!" I have been with your wife, if you need help, you can also find us."

"That's right, Chen'er, don't listen to those stupid people." The tall and strong big cow also patted Tuo Bachen on the shoulder, and said to her, "If you want to help, I will ask you big brother, I have nothing , It’s strength!” He patted his chest and smiled at Tuoba Chen with a proud face.

"Well, our Chen'er will trouble everyone in the future." Yuan Shuyi interrupted suddenly, and smiled generously at a circle of people who were watching her carefully, "It's getting late, let's go first Plowing the field." After speaking, he took Tuobachen who was blushing even more and walked a few steps to the field that Tuobachen had told her.

"Hey, that girl is the one..."

"You are so handsome, I see, you are really right with Chen'er."

"What do women know, that girl's family is not clean, such a girl, I don't even want to give it to me for nothing."

"I think you can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour!"

……

Habitually ignoring the voices of discussion behind her, Yuan Shuyi reached out and patted Tuoba Chen's face, and smiled at her, "Chen'er can't do this, even if you want to greet someone, but if you have something, just greet him casually." It's fine, look at your posture just now, if I didn't pull you, would you still have to chat with them until noon?"

"Sister Yuan, I'm sorry." Tuo Bachen bowed his head seriously to admit his mistake, and there was still a little blush on his pale, glass-like face.

"There's nothing to apologize for." Yuan Shuyi said to her gently with a smile, "It's just that I think Chen'er sometimes doesn't distinguish between serious and serious, so I feel a little anxious."

"I will change it in the future." Tuo Bachen suddenly raised his head, looked at Yuan Shuyi with firm eyes and said, "It will never be like this in the future, sister Yuan, don't hate me." When it came to the word "hate", her voice Once low, the spirit of the whole person is sluggish.

"Chen'er, don't hate my sister." Yuan Shuyi smiled and tiptoed to touch her head, took out a hoe from the back pocket behind Tuoba Chen, rolled up her sleeves, and spoke vigorously to her. Tuoba Chen grinned, "Now, let's work happily!"

Tuo Bachen looked at her more beautiful face under the sun, his heart moved, and he cheered up, "Then let's finish digging up this piece of land today!"

"Ah?" After listening to her words, Yuan Shuyi looked at the field full of wild vegetables and weeds, dumbfounded.

……

According to the rules of the palace, every year at the midnight of the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor would host a banquet in the palace to entertain the ministers, of course, this year is no exception.

Liang Xuyu was playing with the luminous black jade cup in her hand, admiring the dancing girls in front of her in boredom, seeing their slender waists wrapped with thick belts, just to maintain her slender figure, she burst into tears aversion to cold.

If this were replaced by Yuan Shuyi, who would grow flesh if he did nothing all day long, he would have been strangled to death long ago, right?Liang Xuyu thought maliciously.

"What is the emperor thinking? Are you smiling so happily?" I was really afraid of something, Liang Xuyu aimed at a place where he would not meet Tuo Bahong when he was seated at the banquet, but no matter how careful he was, the other party was like a dog's skin plaster The same clinging to you, what can you do? !

"Brother Huang has really good eyesight. You can find Xuyu in such a remote corner." Liang Xuyu smiled at him gently, but her hand holding the cup was tight, and she was cursing in her heart. As a dog skin plaster? !

Even though he was in the imperial palace and was born in the Tuoba family, which has always been marked by beauty, Tuoba Hong was still severely amazed by Liang Xuyu.When Yuan Shuyi and Liang Xuyu were 15 years old and Jili, he also went to watch the ceremony. At that time, he stood in the crowd and watched from a few steps away. When we were together, I still had to admit that their beauty was indeed comparable to Jing Fuli's. Of course, even so, he would not stop what he wanted. It was not his style to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

"Hahahaha, the imperial sister is beautiful and beautiful, she is a dazzling presence wherever she sits, how can the imperial brother not see the imperial sister?" Tuo Bahong smiled and waved behind him, and immediately there was a little eunuch A tray was brought up, and there were many exquisitely crafted sachets.Tuoba Hong smiled and reached out to take out a delicate sachet from the tray and handed it to Liang Xuyu, "It's the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't think the imperial sister has a sachet to protect herself, it really can't be justified, no, Brother Huang asked the embroiderers in the mansion to embroider a lot when he came back from offering sacrifices to the heavens. Does Huangmei like this? If not, Brother Huang still has a lot here for Huangmei to choose from."

Liang Xuyu looked at the embroidered bags that were exhausted with precious silk threads, and raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. Did Tuobahong really think she was a foreigner who didn't understand anything?In the Central Plains, especially in Zhao Kingdom, what does it mean to send an embroidered pouch, if she doesn't know?

"Brother Huang really has a heart." Liang Xuyu smiled gently at him, and seeing the uncontrollable joy in Tuo Bahong's eyes, she said again, "It's just that I have always heard that Zhaoguo embroidered bags are made by lovers. As a keepsake between the emperor, the emperor is not young this year, why not give this to the future emperor's wife?"

"Your Royal Sister doesn't like it?" Tuo Bahong's face darkened, and the veins in his hand holding the embroidered bag were all bulging.

"There's no such thing as whether you like it or not." Liang Xuyu smiled gently at him like a breeze, and pretended to be stupid, "It's just that the emperor's elder brother gave this to the emperor's sister as an elder brother. I miss the emperor. What's more, we don't like these things in the grassland, and Xu Yu really doesn't have any obsession with embroidered bags."

"Oh, brother Huang thinks too much." Tuo Bahong said in a low voice, but his heart was full of anger.

He knew how cunning this woman Liang Xuyu was earlier, but now that he has been in contact with her, he feels that she is not simple.

What is his identity!He is Tuobaji's only nephew, who might inherit the throne in the future, who wouldn't sell him some noodles?But Liang Xuyu in front of him and Yuan Shuyi who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive ([-] times dead), these two women simply don't take him seriously. He is simply pulling his teeth out of the tiger's mouth, he is dying!

"Brother Huang is only concerned about Xu Yu. It's normal for a man to be careless." Liang Xuyu perfunctory him. Looking at his gloomy appearance, he knew that he must have thought of something good in his heart, but she was not good at tearing up with him. After all, their family is still dependent on the imperial power of the Tuoba family. If unfortunately he becomes the emperor, just contradicting him will be enough for them to exterminate the family.

"Hahahaha, I often hear the emperor's aunt say that the emperor's sister is extremely smart, and now it seems to be true." Tuobahong smiled, and said to Liang Xuyu meaningfully, "It's just that if the emperor makes up his mind today If you want to send this embroidered pouch, I don't know how the imperial sister will deal with it?"

"There is a rule in our clan that high priests are not allowed to marry." Liang Xuyu still smiled gently at him, "Since the last son of the seventh elder in my clan has been a guest at the Emperor's Mansion for several months, the Emperor must also You should know that although Xu Yu is not as favored by the emperor's aunt and uncle as the emperor's brother, I believe that the two elders can still satisfy this request of Xu Yu."

Hearing her mention, Tuo Bahong immediately vomited blood in anger. Originally, he didn't intend to take Liang Xuyu into consideration, but Yuan Shuyi, that woman toasted and refused to eat fine wine, even after being beaten like that, she still refused Agreeing to marry him, jumping off the cliff doesn't know whether she will die or not, even if she has life Gu in her body, she is half dead.He had no choice but to turn his mind on Liang Xuyu.

He doesn't have much time, but Liang Xuyu is the one who has the most time.

So, now he looks at Liang Xuyu like looking at a piece of fresh meat on the chopping board, no matter what, he will let her marry him!

"Is the imperial sister planning to die alone?" The words were also spread out. It has been nearly two months. She must have received the news about Yuan Shuyi, and she is about to tear her face. Tuo Bahong doesn't hesitate to speak so much too much.He took a step forward, looked closely at Liang Xuyu, and said with a smile, "Could it be that the imperial sister is planning to die alone?"

"What's wrong?" Liang Xuyu smiled sweetly, took a sip of the wine in the luminous cup in his hand, squinted his eyes, looked at the singing and dancing orchestra that was still going on in the hall, and said to Tuoba Hong, "Everyone It is said that withered grass and dry poplars used to be a singing and dancing venue. Looking at the glitz here today, who can guarantee that it will not be ruins tomorrow? Brother Huang should also look away. Instead of pursuing some illusory foreign things, it is better to enjoy the present moment .”

"Hmph! The emperor's sister can see it well!" Tuoba Hong's dark eyes were full of disdain. She can live a long life, so of course she is not afraid of this! "It's just comparing my heart with my heart. The imperial sister doesn't feel that way, so of course I don't know what the imperial brother is thinking!"

"Brother Huang should also listen to persuasion..." Liang Xuyu sighed, looked at the wine shaking in his hand, and was about to say something, when suddenly the eunuch outside the hall sang loudly: "The emperor—the eldest princess— Arriving—all ministers and workers welcome—”

……

"Hey, I'm exhausted, I can't do it, Chen'er, shall we rest for a while?" Yuan Shuyi thumped his back unbearably, straightened up and wiped his sweat to call Tuoba Chen.

"Okay." Seeing her tired appearance, Tuo Bachen swallowed the words "I have rested six times in an hour", and accompanied her to find a shady place to sit down and watch the land they dug. daze.

"I didn't expect farming to be so tiring." Yuan Shuyi sighed, even though she was wearing a straw hat, her face was still flushed from the sun, and she looked as good as rouge.

"En." Tuo Bachen responded, although she didn't think she was very tired.

"Ah, I don't know what happened to that dead woman Liang Xuyu. I'm exhausted here, but she hasn't found me yet. Really, she couldn't have done it on purpose." Yuan Shuyi didn't care. Dirty, he casually lay down on the ground, covered his face with a straw hat, and whispered to himself. "When I go back, I must report her to Huanggu, and let Huanggu punish her for copying female rings!"

"Sister Yuan, the ground is dirty and there are bugs, you can sleep on my clothes." Seeing her like this, Tuo Bachen quickly took off his coat and pulled Yuan Shuyi's sleeves.

"Yeah." When she opened her eyes, she saw the worry on Tuobachen's pale face. The dissatisfaction and bitterness in Yuan Shuyi's heart was like bitter tea soaked in honey. She reached out and squeezed Tuobachen's lips. The face and eyes overflowed with a smile, "Mmm."

……

It has been an hour since the banquet started.

Liang Xuyu stared intently at the Genglou held by a little maid next to her, fearing that she might be wrong.

It was already Haishi, and the banquet had been held for three hours.

Many older ministers were so sleepy that their eyelids were fighting. Even the dancer who was dancing was so tired that she took the wrong step, and the dancer next to her also twisted her foot wrongly. Make a ball upside down.The extraordinarily loud sound of falling made the sound even louder when the spectators were drowsy. Frightened by the sound, many ministers who were dozing off woke up. Looking at the expressionless emperor sitting above, he didn't dare to say a word.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!" A group of dancing girls in the palace knelt down and begged for mercy in unison.

"Why don't you dance anymore?" Tuobaji asked in a low voice while sitting on the dragon chair, ignoring their begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty—" Huang Ge Lao, who was a veteran of the three dynasties, came out tremblingly, bowed to Tuoba Ji, and said, "Your Majesty, this Dragon Boat Festival has been going on for several hours, can you see if... ..."

"Isn't it okay if I want the whole world to celebrate together?" Tuobaji sat on the dragon chair, raised his eyelids lazily and gave him a blank look.

"This..." He had no choice but to stand still and be silent. He is so old, but he can't stand such a torment. What time is this? Will the emperor let it go? he lived?

"Since everyone is tired, I think the banquet will be over." Jing Fuli sat next to Liang Xuyu, and said lightly, "What's more, all the ministers have to go to court tomorrow, even if they want to celebrate together , Your Majesty should pay attention to the time."

In a word, many elderly ministers looked at Jing Fuli with gratitude, thinking that the eldest princess knows how to sympathize with them as a minister!

After hearing the words, Tuoba looked at Jing Fuli expressionlessly, then at Genglou beside him, unhurriedly looked at the shivering dancers kneeling underneath, and said with thin lips, "It's still early, go ahead."

ah?Is it too early? !Several ministers who had a good personal relationship exchanged glances with each other, and tacitly chose to mute their voices and watched the singing and dancing in front of them silently.

Liang Xuyu glanced at the hour when it was almost midnight, drank the wine in his hand out of boredom, and started playing archery with his left hand compared to his right. Tuoba Hong, who was sitting beside him, saw him and smiled slightly, "The emperor My sister thinks the banquet is boring, do you want to go back to bed?"

In a word, not only the ministers sitting next to them looked at them, but even Jing Fuli turned around and looked at her, "Why, Xu Yu wants to go back?"

"Where, the imperial aunt hasn't gone back, so why would Xu Yu want to go back?" Liang Xuyu said with a smile. She glanced at Tuobaji who was sitting on the dragon chair who was thinking about something, sighed, and looked at the Jing Fuli whispered, "Besides, if I propose to go back, I'm afraid Huanggu will accompany me back. If this happens, wouldn't Huanggu lose?"

"You girl." Hearing this, Jing Fuli couldn't help but tapped her forehead lightly, smiled, and said to her helplessly, "I really can't hide anything from you."

Nowadays, Zhao Kingdom's theocracy is more and more inferior to the monarch's power. If she hadn't intended to fight against Tuobaji, it is unknown what Zhao Kingdom would look like in the future.

"At least I can't wrong you." Jing Fuli sighed lightly, looked at Liang Xuyu and said softly, "I can't do many things now, and I don't know what will happen to Zhaoguo in the future. If you In the future, because of this, I will be suppressed and insulted by the future monarch, then I will really feel sorry for your father and aunt in a hundred years."

Shaking his head, Liang Xuyu looked at Genglou who was dripping water, smiled sweetly at Jing Fuli, and said, "Huanggu has already done a lot for me and Shuyi, if it wasn't for Huanggu and Uncle Huang, I'm afraid Shu Yi and I are still hiding around."

When Jing Fuli heard the words, her beautiful eyes were covered with frost. In the final analysis, they couldn't figure out what the Tuoba family owed them.

"Be careful with Hong'er." Jing Fuli glanced at the eager Wang, and Tuoba Hong reminded Liang Xuyu that although she didn't like this nephew, he was also from the Tuoba family after all. For future generations, when the bloodline of the Tuoba family is about to be cut off, as long as he doesn't do anything on the surface, she still has to turn a blind eye.

"Don't worry, Huanggu." Liang Xuyu also squinted at Tuoba Hong who was sitting next to her but his eyes were nailed to Jing Fuli's body like nails, and replied, "Xuyu will definitely be careful."

When Zishi arrived, Tuoba Jicai announced the banquet, "It's Zishi, and the Jinwu Guard must have banned the night, so you and your dear friends should stay in the morning pavilion. I have already ordered someone to clean it, come and help your lord Let's go to the morning pavilion." Following Tuobaji's words, a group of eunuchs filed in, each holding a bright tile lamp in their hands.

All the ministers present looked at each other, not knowing what the emperor was singing, but they obediently followed the little eunuch carrying the lamp, no matter how much doubts and dissatisfaction they had in their hearts, they could only smash them into pieces and swallow them in their stomachs. No way, who made the emperor happy.

Soon, there were only three surnamed Tuoba and her left in the huge palace—just now, Tuobaji had sent away all the eunuchs and maids on duty.Liang Xuyu rolled his eyes, still not sure how to solve the current situation.

"Xuyu, you and Hong'er should go back to rest too. I have prepared the palace." Tuobaji stood up from the dragon chair and said to Liang Xuyu and Tuobahong.

"..." Liang Xuyu didn't know how to answer and listened to Jing Fuli coldly said, "No need, Xuyu will go back with Ben Gong later, Hong'er will go back first."

Tuo Bahong glanced at the expressionless Tuo Baji next to the dragon chair, then at Liang Xuyu who was standing and Jing Fuli who was sitting quietly next to her, his eyes dimmed, and he obediently gave it to him. Tuobaji and Jing Fuli Shili left.

The already quiet hall was even more terrifyingly quiet at this moment.

"Sister Huang has decided to let Xu Yu take over?" Tuobaji asked softly after looking at the two people in white who were standing and sitting in the magnificent palace.

"...Yes." Seeing that Jing Fuli didn't speak but just tasted the wine that he had been holding in his hand since the beginning of the banquet, Liang Xuyu had no choice but to answer for her.

"You will definitely work hard in the future." Tuobaji looked at Liang Xuyu with a gentle smile, "Since your aunt asked you to take over her position, you must be prepared for hard work in the future. When we all turn into I don’t know who else can help you.”

"Xuyu knows." Liang Xuyu replied obediently, and Tuobaji looked at her with satisfaction and smiled.

"The emperor deliberately asked us to stay for this reason?" Jing Fuli lightly raised her delicate chin and looked at her sideways, "The emperor has become more and more proficient at fighting in recent years. The method is to hold me back."

"Sister Huang taught her well." Tuobaji shook his head slightly, leaning on the back of the dragon chair, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad, "Stepier is just learning and using it flexibly."

"I don't remember that I taught you this." Jing Fuli looked at her coldly while pinching the wine glass, the coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to freeze a person into ice, "Third tricks."
