Everyone was chattering, Jing Shan couldn't laugh or cry, she forced a smile on her face, "It's not on my mind, I just heard some news from the emperor."

Hearing that it was the emperor, everyone became even more worried, put down their bowls and chopsticks one after another, and looked at Jing Shan with concern.

"A few days ago, I received a letter of credence, saying that the Xianbei Kingdom will come to pay tribute this year."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone's expressions.

Everyone was a little surprised, looked at each other, and exchanged a surprised look with each other.

"This year?" Tang Luoyu was the first to confirm.

"Exactly." Jing Shan nodded, and squeezed the soup bowl tightly with her slender fingers.

"Strange," Ke Ran breathed out, and roughly calculated with his fingers, "Why did you choose this year? It's less than half a month away from the Chinese New Year. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jing Shan sighed again, "This time Xianbei wants to come here in such a hurry, it's probably not as simple as paying tribute, there must be other reasons."

Ke Ran became excited when he heard it, "I knew that Xianbei Kingdom has always been twisted and twisted. I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't been for other purposes."

Seeing Jing Shan's gradually tightening eyebrows, everyone felt an ominous premonition in their hearts at the same time, and they all stopped their hands. Tang Luoyu's fingers hanging on both sides of his body tightened, pinching the embroidered patterns on the hem of the clothes to shrink stand up.

Sensing her emotions, Xue Lince stretched out his hand to hold her slightly cool fingers, the temperature spread along the skin, her shoulders slumped slightly, and she finally felt more at ease.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chai Jin folded his arms in front of his chest, urging a little hastily.

Jing Shan's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at everyone's expressions, "The Xianbei Kingdom didn't say it clearly, but it can be easily guessed based on its actions. The purpose of this tribute is probably to make peace."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that their ears were useless, and immediately their eyes widened, "Marriage?!"

Ke Ran tapped her ear with her little finger, with an unbelievable expression on her face, "How to get married? The current emperor is only a teenager, and he doesn't even have a wife with a daughter from somewhere, and he has no sisters. How can he get married? Push the emperor out to get married? "

Seeing that this guy started to make disrespectful remarks again, Chai Jin quickly poked him with his elbow, and Ke Ran was in pain, so he quickly shut up.

"We don't know yet," Jing Shan shook his head, "We won't know until the envoy of the other party arrives, but seeing Xianbei's hasty appearance this time, I'm afraid he won't give up until he achieves his goal."

As soon as the words came out, everyone's hearts were suspended again. It was less than half a year after going south to rehabilitate, and now there was another Xianbei who asked for a marriage out of nowhere. It was really an internal and external trouble.

The joyful atmosphere in the air quickly faded, replaced by a gradually increasing dullness, no one spoke easily during the banquet, only the sound of chopsticks fighting with chicken bones was heard.

After the meal, Frost and Snow became much lighter, Jing Shan and the others chatted a little more about homework, then borrowed an oil-paper umbrella and left.

Seeing his back gradually disappearing at the door, Tang Luoyu sighed for no reason.

She was sitting under the eaves, wearing a lotus-colored robe, with snowflakes flying all over the sky in front of her, and she was just sitting on the edge of the snowstorm, like a little pink rabbit.

Xue Lince took Cui Mao's coat and put it on her shoulders for her, "What are you doing sitting here with such a big snow, be careful not to catch cold."

The husband and wife were standing one by one and sitting by the other. Tang Luoyu took her husband's hand in an instant, and Xue Lince obediently squatted beside her.

"Don't worry," Tang Luoyu turned her head, and tapped her husband's eyebrows like teasing a kitten, "Don't worry, there's no wind blowing here, so you won't get wind and cold."

Xue Lince didn't buy her. "Don't overestimate your own body. If you catch a cold, the baby in your belly will suffer with his mother."

Tang Luoyu immediately refused, "Okay, I dare you to care about the baby in your womb, right?"

The two were fighting and fighting, Xue Lince begged for mercy while protecting his wife with his hands, the air was full of cheerful laughter.

After arguing for a while, the two quieted down again, and Xue Lince gathered her coat to shield her from the wind and cold.

"What were you thinking just now?"

Xue Lince picked up a stool and sat down beside her. Tang Luoyu stared at the flying snowflakes and sighed. Xue Lince thought she would make some sad speech, but she was very angry when she spoke.

"Hmph, just now when elder brother Cai talked about Xianbei's tribute, I thought of that child Xiaohua." She put her elbows on her knees and rested her chin on her palm, "That child is really heartless, so silent He walked away without saying hello or replying to a letter."

The more Tang Luoyu spoke, the angrier she became, her two cheeks bulged like an angry frog.

Xue Lince couldn't help laughing, then leaned over and touched her head, as if to comfort the child, "Forget it, didn't he find a family for him? Now that he's home, it's a good thing. Don't worry about it."

"Hmph," Tang Luoyu was in a fit of anger, how could he listen at this moment? He even clenched his fists, still full of anger, "I haven't heard from this little brat after walking for so long, and I don't know if he's home yet. If I see you next time Let him go and teach him a lesson.”

When she was angry, Xue Lince patted her on the back and hugged her shoulders to comfort her. Her anger quickly subsided, and her face was pressed against Xue Lince's chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt a little relieved very quickly. Sleepy.

At noon the next day, when Xue Lince went out to do some errands, Tang Luoyu didn't wake up until it was three o'clock in the morning. She just had a sip of sour plum soup in the living room when she saw Baoqin rushing in.

"What's wrong?" Tang Luoyu was a little surprised, "Why are you so flustered? But what happened?"

Baoqin managed to catch her breath, and then responded out of breath, "Miss, we have a visitor."

Tang Luoyu didn't understand, so, "If there is one, it will be there, but he is looking for Lin Ce? He is out on business, so ask that person to come in and do it later."

"No," both hands holding the piano began to shake, "I'm not looking for adults, but for you."

As she spoke, she leaned close to Tang Luoyu's ear mysteriously, "And she's an acquaintance!"

Hearing this, Tang Luoyu was at a loss. She put down the sour plum juice in her hand, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled, "Looking for me? Who is it?"

"I've already reached the gate just now, and I saw that I was familiar with it, so I hurried in to report," Baoqin's forehead was covered with a stream of sweat, "It's probably already here by now, it's the Xianbei man from last time!"

Now Tang Luoyu was surprised, her brows twitched, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Xiao Hua?"

"Exactly!" Baoqin nodded quickly.

The master and the servant were talking, when they suddenly heard a sound at the gate of the yard, they looked up, and sure enough, they saw Xiao Hua's familiar figure had entered the gate, coming step by step.
