Jiaochu

Two days ago, when Hehe handed her tea, she reached out to pick it up but it was empty. The teacup fell to the ground with a clang. Now I stepped on the wrong step and sprained my foot.

The two of them felt that Ye Lingxi had become a little strange after returning from the southern border. He seemed to have become careless and more lost in thought. He often sat quietly and looked at something, sometimes it was a vase and sometimes it was a painting. His eyes Sometimes it seems like it has lost its focus, and there is a faint light, as if covered with a thin layer of fog...

I heard someone coming up.

She raised her head, and the bright light reflected by the armor stung her eyes. She averted her eyes slightly, and then heard He He and Ling Ding shouting "Master Yan" in surprise. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at the bright light, thinking Seeing that face clearly, Yan Fei was stunned for a moment when he walked over, then he knelt down and stretched out his hand to gently wipe her eyes, and said softly, "Why is the princess crying?" Her nose felt sore and she said her foot was twisted. It hurts. Yanfei gently rubbed her ankle, while Hehe and Lingdang turned their backs to look at the white clouds passing by in the sky.

The princess cried, and the two of them could only pretend that they had seen nothing.

Yan Fei looked at the face that was a little red from the cold, and remembered what Yan Jiang had said before about eating fast every day. I wonder if it was a psychological effect, but he looked a little thinner, and his eyes were a little watery, which made him feel a surge in his heart. Feeling a strong desire to protect, he stretched out his hand to hug the person lightly. She could smell the cold fragrance on his body, mixed with the breath of wind and snow, with a chilling air and a faint smell of blood... She could feel his heartbeat as he fought in the ice and snow, hot and fearless.

"When can I welcome brother Yan back in a dignified manner?" After saying this, which seemed to be a soliloquy, the hearts of both of them were beating wildly, one after another, like beating drums.

Hehe and Lingdang's hearts were also beating wildly, and they were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.

"Brother Yan," Ye Lingxi wanted to change the subject, and the next moment she met Yan Fei's eyes as bright as stars, shining with unparalleled determination and joy. Her heart skipped a beat again, and he held her hand gently, as if Holding a unique treasure, he carefully protected it and made a three-word promise with the most determined expression, "Don't worry."

Hehe and Lingdang looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

After Yan Fei carried Ye Lingxi down from the tower, he headed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Ling Dang had an idea and said with a surprised look on her face: "Princess, Young Master Yan is not going to ask the Emperor for a marriage, is he?!" Hearing this, He He was startled and anxious. He wanted to run over and stop Yan Fei, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake. It was a time when I was so embarrassed that I felt ashamed.

Ye Lingxi's heart skipped a beat when Ling Dang said the word "marriage", and her face turned red. She felt uneasy and decided to sneak over to have a look.

Ye Lanchen was discussing meritorious deeds in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When he arrived at Yanjiang, Yanfei arrived just in time. Ye Lanchen asked why he came late, and Yanjiang replied that he asked Yanfei to count the number of prisoners of war. Yanfei showed extraordinary bravery and intelligence in this battle. He captured more than ten enemy generals, big and small, and was awarded the title of General of Hussars. He was granted food for 800 households.

After the reward was awarded, the guard led a man to the palace.

It was the captured Taifu.

Ye Lingxi hid behind the pillar and saw the dark peony embroidered on the man's sleeve. The sleeve swayed and the petals seemed to fly out. Her expression froze and her breathing became quickened. She would not forget that branch. The black peony will never forget the day when the city was broken. This man led a group of black armored cavalry into the city. The black cavalry exuded the cold breath of death, as if they had returned from hell... The man danced his sleeves and robes, and the petals were like It was as if it was about to fly out. The blood on the blade had not yet dried. He threw the sword away, wiped his hands with a snow-white handkerchief, threw it away, stepped over the corpse and walked into the hall...

Now she knew that the group of black cavalry were Xiyan's elite cavalry, Black Qilin, and that man was Xiyan's Taifu, Shang Shen.

Now he is here as a prisoner.

After entering the palace, the Shang Taifu saw that Ye Lanchen, the great Hui monarch, did not kneel down and worship.

Zheng Mian mocked him and ridiculed him for being a prisoner.

Taifu Shang said: "I have bad knees. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were considerate of me and spared me the courtesy of kneeling down." "Don't talk about you Xiyan. You, a prisoner, still have the nerve to make demands here. If you have the ability, let me ask you." Why did the Queen Mother redeem you? If you don't have the ability, just shut up. If our Emperor hadn't been kind, your head would have fallen off a long time ago." Zheng Mian said.

Taifu Shang still refused to kneel.

Zheng Mian was so furious that he rushed towards him as if to beat him up, but was stopped by Yanjiang. Yanjiang tried to persuade Taifu Shang, "A man can bend and stretch, but you, an old man, cannot bend and stretch. You have no sincerity at all. How can we discuss this?" ." Zheng Mian said angrily, "What were we discussing? We talked about everything when we entered the Imperial City Division."

Grand Tutor Shang cupped his hands to Ye Lanchen and said, "Xi Yan would like to marry Da Hui to the Qin and Jin Dynasties. I heard that the three princesses of your country are extremely intelligent and beautiful. Xi Yan would like to grant the princess the title of crown princess."

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing these words. After losing the battle, he still had the nerve to propose marriage. Is there something wrong with Mr. Shang's mind?

Yan Fei was about to rush out but Yan Jiang held him back.

Ye Lingjue's eyes turned cold, and he glanced sideways in the direction of Taifu Shang, and said, "There is no proof whether what Taifu said is true or not. He might want to take my Princess Dahui hostage in the name of asking for marriage."

Ye Xingye was filled with indignation, "I tell you not to have such wishful thinking. Only your prince is not worthy of my Third Princess!"

Taifu Shang said: "If Da Hui and Xi Yan join forces, the whole world can be in their pocket."

Ye Xing is so wild and wild. I really wonder if Master Shang is out of his mind. He just finished the war and now he is talking about joining forces. I really think his father is a fool to believe such nonsense.

Ye Lanchen naturally didn't believe it. It was more reliable to seek skin from a tiger than to join forces with Xi Yan.

"The master didn't show any courtesy to me when he saw me. He opened his mouth to ask me to marry his daughter. Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"

The murderous intent displayed in the last sentence reveals the king's supreme authority and sense of oppression.

Taifu Shang cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. If your Majesty doesn't want the princess to get married, Xi Yan can also marry the princess over."

This shocking statement made everyone dumbfounded, thinking that Master Shang had lost his mind.

Ye Lanchen waved his hand and asked the guards to take the person down. Taifu Shang raised his hand for the third time and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to write a letter and go back to report that you are safe?" Zheng Mian couldn't bear it anymore and directly pushed the person out. .

After the two guards came out with Master Shang, they were stopped by someone from behind.

Ye Lingxi walked over with a cold and frightening look. When the two guards were saluting, she suddenly took action and put a hairpin on Taifu Shang's neck. The two guards were shocked and Taifu Shang's expression was also slightly shaken. After a moment, it seemed that he didn't expect a little girl to do such a thing.

"Next time you dare to come again, I will kill you."

Ye Lingxi left these words coldly, took back the hairpin and turned away.
