into the bosom

Chapter 155
"One more thing..."

After Xu Jiao and He Lianshu finished talking, when they returned to the Lingquan Hall, they felt that their bodies were about to fall apart.It was late at night, and she stopped soaking in the hot springs, and after a hasty grooming, she went to sleep on the couch.

But I was so tired, lying down but unable to fall asleep for a long time, my mind was in chaos with my eyes closed, for a while I thought of Wang Wan who suddenly fell ill, for a while I thought of Wei Wuniang who had escaped the catastrophe, and even thought of Chen Si who I had never met before. The lady, and the words "be careful" that both Wang Wan and He Lianshu had told her... I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep in a daze.

It seemed that he had only squinted his eyes for a while before being woken up by the snow.

Xu Jiao covered his eyes with his hands, "What time is it?" exhaustion was evident in his voice.

Negative Snow replied softly, "It's almost time, today is more important, the Princess still has to show her face."

Today is the first day of autumn, according to the usual practice, Emperor Xian will give some encouraging words, and everyone will be present.What's more, there are quite a lot of excitement to watch, Xu Jiao was silent for a moment, moved his hands away, opened his eyes with a smile, "Lengxue is right, don't I have to show my face?"

Those men are all dressed in strong armor and light armor, sitting high on the back of the horse, in a heroic posture.

Even He Lianshu and Jing Qin are the same.It was rare for Xu Jiao to see them dressed in military uniforms, so it was a novelty to look at. Sure enough, this man relied on clothes and horses and saddles, and wore a military uniform on his upper body.One abstinence type, one white cut black, it's really eye-catching.

What's more, besides these two models, there are other models. In this picture, it is not a problem for her to draw a picture of a hundred horses and a hundred handsome men.

Emperor Xian gave an order, and the crowd galloped out with horses' hooves sounding like thunder, flags flying, and yellow sand all over the sky. Xu Jiao's blood was agitated. With his hands on his chest, he looked at the bird that rolled into the dense forest like a yellow cloud. The dust in the depths felt the beat of the palm like a drum.

"What is Yingyue looking at? Are you so engrossed?" A voice suddenly asked from behind, Xu Jiao's heart skipped a beat——

I'm so low-key, I really don't know anything worthy of your attention, His Majesty the Emperor.

Xu Jiao picked up his signature sweet smile, turned his head away, lowered his eyes and bowed his knees, and said, "Return to your majesty, Yingyue has no skills, only one-handed painting skills can pass the eye, the picture just now is so exciting, it's a bit itchy for a while , I have already begun to compose the picture in my mind, so I lost my mind and made Your Majesty laugh."

After hearing this, Emperor Xian laughed, "I didn't expect Yingyue to be so similar to her father, she is also a painting idiot! I still remember the first time I came back to Qiuxi when I was young, and I was just like Yingyue at this time, wandering around , but always returned empty-handed, and sometimes in front of the late emperor, he was always in a daze. When asked by the late emperor, he also said that he composed the picture in his head. Later, he really drew a picture of autumn hunting. The picture of the late emperor I can't put it down, and it is still treasured in the palace."

Xu Jiao listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Your Majesty, I wonder if Yingyue may have the honor to take a look at the autumn hunting picture of my late father?"

Emperor Xian glanced at her, smiled meaningfully and said, "If you have a chance, you can."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Jiao bowed his knees to thank him.

"Yingyue, let me ask you, who do you think will be the winner today?" Xu Jiao thought it was over, but Emperor Xian threw another question in his head, which made Xu Jiao's head go numb. What do you think, His Majesty the Emperor? yes?
Xu Jiao slandered in his heart, glanced at the eldest princess very quickly, and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, how could Yingyue know about such a thing? However, just now, seeing how complacent the elder brothers are, they will surely reap a lot of rewards." Vulgar."

The Eldest Princess also had a brief discussion with Xu Jiao before, saying that this time around Qiuxi, Emperor Xian might be about to select the crown prince.Therefore, this autumn, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is already undercurrent.

But Xu Jiao couldn't answer such a terrible question, let alone dare to answer it.

"Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for Yingyue anymore, how could she know this as a little girl who has only just learned riding and archery?" The eldest princess interjected with a light smile.

"Okay, okay, I was reckless. I won't embarrass Yingyue, just ask a question that Yingyue can answer. Let's not talk about your brothers. Yingyue feels that hunting today, Mr. Li Erlang and Helian Who is the better governor?"

When Xu Jiao heard this, he was even more confused, and subconsciously raised his eyes in shock.

"What's the matter? Is this question difficult to answer?" Emperor Xian still had a smile on his face, "Then why don't I ask it in a different way, among Li Huan and He Lianshu, who would Yingyue hope to win? "

Xu Jiao's heart was pounding, but she didn't show anything on her face. She was a little confused and a little embarrassed and said, "Do I have to choose between the two of them? In fact, if it is possible, Yingyue would like my second brother to win. "

"Jing Jia Erlang?" Emperor Xian seemed a little surprised.

Xu Jiao was even more embarrassed, "Yingyue's petty thoughts made His Majesty laugh again. However, Yingyue also knows that my second elder brother is just a frail scholar. I'm afraid he can only serve as a foil." Xu Jiao sighed, with a helpless expression on his face.

Emperor Xian looked at her, with a slight smile, and deep eyes, "It seems that Yingyue is not only blessed, but also extremely smart, Miss Huang, you have good eyesight!"

This praise made Xu Jiao's heart suddenly feel cold, and he quietly raised his eyes to see that the eldest princess was still calm, so Xu Jiao settled down.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of her. After all, this child grew up in the countryside. She hasn't seen much in the world. All she can rely on is a little cleverness. When His Majesty asked her this question, she panicked. Elder brother pulled it out and used it as a shield." The eldest princess said, and glanced around, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

In front of everyone, as the ruler of a country, you can naturally ask whatever you want, regardless of whether it is appropriate or not, but everyone can understand the deep meaning of your question, but how can a young lady who has not left the cabinet answer it?
Although the eldest princess said these words plainly, the meaning of reproach was very obvious.

In this huge Wei, the only one who dared to blame Emperor Xian, apart from the Queen Mother, was the Eldest Princess.

Emperor Xian frowned, but did not show any obvious displeasure. Instead, he humbly admitted his mistake with a smile. Yingyue, the second son of Li Pingzhang's family, and my Helianqing's family have some intersections. I am also concerned after hearing this. These two are dragons and phoenixes. If Yingyue likes someone, please remember to tell me. I can't tell. It can fulfill you."

After Xu Jiao heard this, her expression became even more uncomfortable, "Your Majesty was joking, Yingyue dare not speak nonsense about this important matter of marriage."

Emperor Xian looked at her and smiled, after all, he didn't continue to press for that answer, and instead talked to the eldest princess, the first question he asked Xu Jiao.

The eldest princess did not answer, but instead asked, "Has Your Majesty really thought it through?"

"Of course I have thought it through." Emperor Xian smiled, but his tone was sonorous.

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to say." The eldest princess closed her eyes.
