Dayin Golden Gate

Xia Hougou had only returned to Beijing for one month, and there were many disturbances in the capital.Although he called himself the Great Wall of Chu, he couldn't help feeling uneasy.His heart to marry his daughter to the Ninth Prince Chu Jue became more determined.

He asked a courtier who took refuge under his sect to write a memorial, saying that the princes have reached the age of marriage and are unmarried, so it is better to hold a flower viewing banquet in the palace and invite all the ministers whose families are over fourteen and twenty The following unmarried girls, let the princes find the person they like at the flower banquet.

After reading the memorial, Emperor Wen felt that there was nothing to do, so he handed over this time to the queen.

The prince has not yet married a wife, which is a heart disease of Queen Zhao.The news that the prince and some young eunuchs were messing around reached Queen Zhao's ears from time to time.She thought that if the prince had a concubine, her heart might be able to settle down.The matter of the flower viewing feast pierced into her heart.

She cheered up and started preparing for the flower viewing feast.

It is rare for Concubine Xian to agree with the Queen on this matter.She recommended herself to the queen and took part of the work.

After hearing about the flower feast, Chu Cong asked Concubine Xian for a post.Concubine Xian thought it was him who wanted to invite the woman he liked, and she was overjoyed, but she didn't know that the invitation to the flower feast was actually given to Xie Qing.

Seven days later, the Imperial Garden.

Xie Qing stepped into the imperial garden and found that the atmosphere was very strange.In the imperial garden, besides the colorful garden, there are also flocks of warblers and swallows.

The girls are full of pearls and emeralds, colorful makeup and clothes, and their bodies are fragrant, mixed with the fragrance of flowers in the garden, it smells a bit pungent.

Xie Qing resisted the urge to cover his nose, and walked past the girls without looking sideways.

"Brother?" Xie Bi looked at Xie Qing in amazement, her appearance was already stunning in the world, and coupled with her elaborate attire, it was enough to make a man a god.

Xie Qing looked at Xie Bi and frowned, "Why are you here?"

Xie Bi lowered her eyes, "This flower viewing banquet was held by the empress, and the unmarried girls from the ministers' homes were invited. It is said that it is for the marriage of the princes. My brother asked me this, so I wondered why my brother is here?"

If Chu Cong appeared in front of Xie Qing at this time, Xie Qing would definitely punch him.

Xie Qing said dumbfoundingly: "I was invited by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

While the two were talking, Chu Cong had already walked behind Xie Qing and patted him on the shoulder.

"Seventh, Your Highness, Your Majesty." Xie Qing turned his head, and there was a bit of gnashing of teeth in his words.

Chu Cong hugged Xie Qing, "It's great that you're here."

Xie Qing wanted to push Chu Cong away, but he couldn't break free from the shackles of this vigorous maniac, "Your Highness Seventh respects himself."

Only then did Chu Cong let go of Xie Qing, "My sixth brother is over there, follow me." He noticed Xie Bi, "Is this your sister?"

Xie Bi blushed and bowed, "See Your Highness the Seventh Highness." When she saw the heroic Chu Cong, her heart felt like a deer bumping wildly.Originally, she had a lot of resistance to marrying the prince, but when she saw Chu Cong, the resistance disappeared.

"Miss Xie." Chu Cong said nonchalantly, he turned his head and smiled and took Xie Qing's hand, "Let's go."

Xie Qing and Chu Cong came to a pavilion where Chu Yu was drinking for himself.

Seeing Xie Qing, Chu Yu put down the wine glass in his hand, "Why are you here?"

"I have to ask your younger brother." Xie Qing smiled wryly.

Chu Yu guessed the ins and outs, looked at Chu Cong, and reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

Chu Cong grinned, "Flower Appreciation Banquet, Flower Appreciation Banquet, you know it's boring just by hearing the name, what's so beautiful about flowers, so I called Xie Qing to relieve the boredom."

"It turns out that I'm a boredom-relieving thing." Xie Qing said with a half-smile.

Chu Cong grabbed Xie Qing's shoulders and begged for mercy, "My dog ​​can't spit out ivory, so don't be angry."

"If I was angry with you for such a trivial matter, I would have been mad at you long ago." Xie Qing brushed Chu Cong's hand away and sat beside Chu Yu.

Chu Cong sat next to Xie Qing, "I don't know why, but I feel peaceful by your side. Many boring things will become more interesting if we do them together."

Xie Qing smiled and said, "Probably because I am a friend of His Highness the Seventh Prince."

Chu Cong thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the complicated emotions in his heart, so he could only say vaguely, "Maybe."

Chu Yu flicked the side of the wine glass with his fingers, and said flatly, "The person who wrote to His Majesty to propose holding a flower appreciation banquet is the disciple of General Xia Hougou."

"The general's mind is clearly revealed." Xie Qing said meaningfully.

Chu Cong couldn't understand the conversation between Xie Qing and Chu Yu, so he didn't interrupt.He silently watched Xie Qing's side face, feeling that the years were peaceful.

"If the ninth younger brother forms an alliance with the great general, the court will be a three-legged power." Chu Yu watched a pink petal fall with the wind, and finally fell into the wine glass in front of Xie Qing, causing slight ripples.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as a legitimate son, is favored by His Majesty and supported by important officials in the court. He should be the Wei of the Three Kingdoms; His Highness the Sixth Prince and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince have a blind date, and the concubine's mother's family is powerful, so he should be the Wu of the Three Kingdoms; His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. Corporal Jie has won over a group of underprivileged men, and now there are great generals relying on him, he should be the Shu of the Three Kingdoms." Xie Qing lowered his voice and talked eloquently.

A sharp light flashed in Chu Yu's eyes, "It's still unknown who will win the battle."

Chu Cong said with a smile: "If the sixth brother becomes the emperor, you can make me a general. I see Xia Hougou's majesty and majesty, and I really envy him."

Chu Yu knocked on Chu Cong's head, "Speak out."

Xie Bi followed Chu Cong and Xie Qing from a distance, and also walked around the pavilion.But she dared not go in, so she could only linger.She watched Xie Qing having a happy conversation with the two princes, feeling envious and jealous at the same time.

Seeing Xie Bi, Chu Cong said with regret in his tone: "Your sister, except for your appearance, is not like you at all."

Chu Yu glanced at Xie Bi, then looked away disinterestedly.

Xie Qing smiled but said nothing, raised the wine glass on the table, and took a sip of the fine wine in the glass.The petals in the wine glass stuck to the corner of his lips, but he didn't notice it at all.His lips are pink, and the petals are also pink, which complement each other, making them look beautiful and attractive.

"There are... petals on your lips." Chu Yu reached out and took the petals from Xie Qing's lips.

Xie Qing felt that Chu Yu's fingers were about to leave his lips, and his heart moved.He lowered his head, "Thank you... Your Highness Sixth."

"In private, you can call me Huai Jin." Chu Yu looked at a petal on his fingertip.

"Xie Qing dare not." It's not that Xie Qing didn't dare, but a strange emotion prevented him from calling Chu Yu's name in order to increase the distance between the two.

Chu Yu didn't insist either, and looked at Xie Qing steadfastly.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a distance.

A girl in a flaming hunting suit rode a steed into the imperial garden.She went on a rampage, scaring the other girls into pale faces.She laughed loudly on the horse, and the laughter scattered all over the ground.

Chu Cong sneered and said, "This one must be the daughter of General Xiahou."

"It's a beautiful woman, unfortunately..." Xie Qing didn't continue.

The girl in red didn't get off her horse until she was in front of Ninth Prince Chu Jue.She has willow brows and almond eyes, a fine mouth and a bright nose, she is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but she is too sharp and compelling.She pointed at Chu Jue with a whip, "You are Chu Jue."

Chu Jue frowned, then relaxed it again, and said with a slight smile, "Exactly, the girl must be Miss Xiahou." He had a gentle temperament, and when he smiled, it was like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

Xiahou Qiuluo originally wanted to show Chu Jue off, but seeing his smile, he couldn't help but blushed slightly, "You...you look pretty good."

Chu Jue was even more displeased, but thinking of the identity of the girl in front of him, he said softly: "Miss Xiahou is the one who is beautiful and charming."

Xiahou Qiuluo's face turned even redder, and he twisted the whip in his hand into twists.

"Miss Xiahou, can you take a moment to speak?" Chu Jue made an inviting gesture.

"Okay." Xiahou Qiuluo raised his head slightly and followed Chu Jue away.

Xie Qing watched such a good show, and said with a smile: "This flower feast is not in vain."

"This woman has a strong temper, and my ninth brother may be in danger of restlessness in the house." Chu Yu shook his head. He felt that Chu Jue and Xiahou Qiuluo were not a good match.

Xie Qing knew that what Chu Yu said was a prophecy.Xiahou Qiuluo is unruly and willful, and Chu Jue hides his needles. Although Chu Jue tolerates Xiahou Qiuluo everywhere, there is a limit to a person's tolerance.When Chu Jue revealed his true colors, he and Xiahou Qiuluo quarreled in front of Emperor Wen every three days.Chu Jue's bright future can even be said to have been ruined by Xiahou Qiuluo.Because Emperor Wen believed that a person who can't even manage his own back house can't manage the world well.

Chu Cong also saw some ways, "Ninth brother is willing to marry, Xiahou Qiuluo is willing to marry, just like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer."

Xie Qing was amused by Chu Cong's words, "The so-called great wisdom is like foolishness, you are talking about His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

"Are you calling me stupid?" Chu Cong heard Xie Qing's subtext.

"No, I'm praising you." Xie Qing said solemnly.

Chu Cong stared at Xie Qing for a while, then tickled Xie Qing's itch.

Xie Qing was the most ticklish, and couldn't stop laughing, "I was wrong, His Highness Seventh, please forgive me."

Chu Yu also wanted to get so close to Xie Qing, but he was not Chu Cong, so he couldn't do such a thing, so he had to say with a straight face, "Okay, don't make trouble with Xie Qing."

Chu Cong stopped his movements. He tried hard to put on a serious expression, but he couldn't hide the smile from the corners of his brows and eyes, "Do you still dare to offend His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince in the future?"

"The villain doesn't dare anymore." Xie Qing tidied up his messy clothes while laughing.
