Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 160 Princess Xuan

King Qing grabbed the wine glass and threw it at it, but He Qingxiao didn't hide.

The wine glass hit his forehead, and blood dripped down instantly.

"Miss Kou?"

"Oh, Master He eats vegetables." Xin You conveniently put the shredded red tripe in He Qingxiao's bowl, and then realized that this gesture was a bit too intimate.

Fortunately, she only moved the chopsticks.

"Thank you." He Qingxiao expressed his thanks calmly, but his heart moved slightly.

Xinyou drank tea and carefully recalled the scene just now.

It seemed to be at a banquet, and the scale was not small, because the time was too short, and there would be no more clues.

Xin You looked at the person opposite.

Perhaps because he is not in a hurry, he eats at a slow pace, which makes him appear elegant and at ease.

Oh, I don't seem very comfortable...

He Qingxiao was indeed a little uncomfortable.

It would be difficult for anyone to feel at ease if he was stared at by someone he cared about while eating.

"Miss Kou, do you have something else to say?" He simply put down his chopsticks and looked at her with warm and clear eyes.

Xin You hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said, "Master He may be in a bloodbath recently."

Although he had seen scenes of bloody disasters before, but he avoided them in the end, her reminder may not be necessary.

But what if?
Xin You didn't want to deceive herself, she didn't want to see him get hurt, especially when he had a conflict with the prince.

"The disaster of blood and light—" He Qingxiao seriously asked for advice, "Then is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

His attitude is so correct, but Xinyou finds it strange.

"If there is a banquet in the near future, Mr. He had better avoid it."

Xin You had just reminded her that when she returned to the bookstore, she would receive an invitation card.

Elegant and exquisite post, from the Princess Palace.

Princess Zhaoyang is about to hold a 40th birthday banquet, and she specially invites Ms. Kou to the banquet.

Pressing the invitation card with one hand, Xin You thought of He Qingxiao.

Will Princess Zhaoyang post a post for her birthday party?
If so, then the scene in the picture should have happened at this banquet, right?

After He Qingxiao and Xin You parted ways, they returned to the yamen, and when the yamen returned to the Marquis of Changle, they did indeed receive an invitation from the eldest princess' mansion.

Xin You's words were naturally remembered again.

Miss Kou is really clever.

At this moment, He Qingxiao was suddenly curious about how she grew up.

And... her real identity...

He Qingxiao stared at the post for a while, then ordered the servant to prepare clothes for him to go to the banquet.

Some banquets cannot be avoided.

On this day, there were still many people in the palace who received the post from the princess's palace, and all the palaces attached great importance to it, and prepared for the banquet early.

Xinyou didn't go out much for the next few days, and she hid in the warm pavilion and silently wrote the story behind "Journey to the West".

Soon came the day of the banquet.

It was very cold, and the knife-like wind was mixed with snow particles, which made it uncomfortable to blow on people's faces.

Xiaolian picked out an extra thick snow fox fur cloak to cover Xinyou tightly, and put a warm hand stove in her hand.

"You should wear more too." Xinyou urged.

"The servant girl is not cold." Xiao Lian stamped her feet, stepping on a thin layer of snow and frost on the ground, her whole body exuded vitality.

In her opinion, the girl helped the girl get back most of the family's wealth, and also asked the old man to divorce the old wife, which is regarded as revenge for the girl who died in vain, so she felt relieved all of a sudden.

The two got into the carriage and headed for the eldest princess' mansion.

People from the Princess's Mansion waited at the door early to welcome the guests.

Xin You got out of the carriage, and the aunt in charge who had been to Shaoqing's mansion came over immediately.

"Miss Kou is here."

Xin You slightly bent her knees: "Aunt Liu."

"Miss Kou, please come in, Your Royal Highness has always been thinking about you."

Aunt Liu's words fell into the ears of the guests present, and some of them looked at Xin You more eagerly.

Born in a family of officials, although both parents died, but he was favored by the eldest princess and had a huge wealth, this condition is very exciting.

Most of the guests invited by the eldest princess were female relatives, and many of them immediately decided to find a chance to chat with Miss Kou.

Xin You followed Aunt Liu to meet Princess Zhaoyang.

"I have seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Before Princess Zhaoyang could speak, the girl beside her rushed over and held Xin You's hand affectionately: "Sister Kou, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The little girl who was so frightened before seemed to have completely recovered her lively nature.

"How is Miss Kong?" Xin You asked with a smile.

She didn't deliberately soften her voice, and her attitude towards Kong Fu was similar to that of her peers, which made Kong Fu feel fresh and comfortable, and felt closer to her sister in front of her.

"Mother, can I take Sister Kou to see the little boar?"

Princess Zhaoyang looked helpless: "You can take Miss Kou to the Plum Garden."

There was still some time before the luncheon, and the guests who came first would either get together to drink tea to connect with each other, or take a walk in the area specially reserved for the guests in the Princess Palace.

"But Plum Garden is not as interesting as watching Little Pig." Kong Fu looked up and asked Xin You, "Sister Kou, where do you want to go?"

Xin You smiled: "I also want to see the little boar."

It seems that Miss Kong has completely got rid of the shadow of the wild boar, which makes her happy.

Seeing that Xinyou was willing, Princess Zhaoyang would not stop her.

Kong Fu took Xin You's hand all the way and went straight to the West Garden.

There are four little piglets in total, they are said to be small boars, and their size has nothing to do with cuteness.

Kong Fu didn't approach either, and introduced the names of the four boars to Xin You through the fence: "That one is called Bai Da, and that one is called Bai Er..."

"Because it came from Bailu Mountain?"

Kong Fu smiled and rolled her eyes: "Sister Kou is so smart!"

After looking at the wild boar for a while, Kong Fu took Xinyou to the plum garden to play.

The plum grove in the Princess's mansion occupies a large area, and it is not yet the plum blossom season, but many wintersweet trees are in full bloom, golden yellow like butterflies spreading their wings.

Xin You and Kong Fu came from the West Garden, unlike the guests who came directly to Meilin, they entered from the other end.

Not long after the two left, they saw a pair of young men and women walking towards this side.

The man among them was the eldest prince Xiu Wang, and the girl walking beside him was as beautiful as a willow.

King Xiu also saw the two of Xin You, walked over quickly, and greeted Kong Fu first: "Why is Fu'er here?"

Then his eyes fell on Xin You's face, and he nodded with a smile.

Xin You bent her knees: "His Royal Highness Prince Xiu."

"Miss Kou, you don't have to be polite."

"Big cousin, cousin Xuan, did you come together?"

Xin You looked at the girl whom Kong Fu called "Cousin Xuan".

From this point of view, this girl who is about her age should be the eldest princess.

Earlier, when He Qingxiao reminded her not to offend King Qing, he had mentioned the prince in the palace in detail, but did not mention it to the princess.

"We also met." Xiu Wang first introduced Xinyou to the girl, "This is Miss Kou. I don't know if my sister has heard of it. Fu'er was rescued by Miss Kou when she was in danger. The best-selling Beijing dialect book "Painted Skin" It's also sold by Ms. Kou's bookstore..."

The girl looked at Xinyou with some curiosity.
