Chapter 11 The Dance of the Spring Night
Spring is the season for all things to grow. Most of the sacrifices in spring are to pray for abundant rain and luxuriant products, which imply the reproduction of the human race and endless life. Therefore, spring sacrifices are often accompanied by the courtship of men and women.

The willow shooting meeting is originally for the purpose of praying for rain and offering sacrifices. Before and after the sacrifice, it is usually a good time for young men and women to get acquainted, or horse races, or night banquets, or wine competitions, or watch the excitement, or dance together, and they will know each other and love each other in twos. , happy.So on such a night, there are groups of boys and girls dancing around the fire.

Han Derang was taken aback for a moment, but Yanyan dragged him back to the original fire.Seeing that Han Derang left for a while, everyone changed into new clothes and brought Yanyan over. They booed and asked him to come in and dance with Yanyan.It is common for the children of the prairie to dance in such an atmosphere.The Han family has entered the third generation of the Liao Dynasty when they came to Han Derang, their marriages are blended together, and their daily life is no different from everyone else's. Han Derang held Yanyan's hand and danced in the middle of the fire. After a while, Brother Yeluxiu and Xiao Darin The children of the royal family and the descendants also danced with the girls of the other family.

For a while, there were laughter and laughter, someone sang the pastoral song of the grassland softly, a group of people sang in unison, and even Brother Yeluxiu also beat the tambourine beside him.

Hu Nian stood alone outside the fire, looking at the crowd, momentarily absent-minded.Before the moon was up, Yanyan changed into the new clothes she had prepared for many days, and slipped out in a blink of an eye.When she was about to find Yanyan, Wu Guli also slipped away.

Although the Willow Shooting Conference during the day seems to be just a few teenagers competing for victory, it is also a power struggle among the royal family.At the bonfire dance at night, I don't know what to make of it.Last spring, Hu Nian had already seen the danger here. Thinking of this, she hurriedly changed her clothes and searched all the way.When we arrived at the fire pond where the descendants of the royal family were, we could see people dancing from a distance. When we got closer, Yanyan was dancing with Han Derang in the center.Under the firelight, Yanyan's face was flushed red, and her eyes were full of excitement. Han Derang had also put on the brocade robe newly given by Mu Zong today, and his smile was as warm as before.

Suddenly a strange feeling rose in Hu Nian's heart, he didn't know whether it was sour or astringent, he was hesitating, not sure whether to enter the circle, but he heard someone chuckle in his ear: "Hu Nian, you are so reserved, Han Derang will be killed by Yan Yan Robbed."

As soon as Hu Nian looked up, he saw his cousin Xiao Darin standing behind him with a smile. He suddenly felt feverish in his ears, and acted coquettishly: "Brother Darin, what are you talking about!"

Xiao Darin has always felt sorry for this cousin, her mother died early, and there are two ignorant younger sisters under her, at such a young age, she can't help but shoulder the heavy responsibility of the elder sister as a mother, living too mature and heavy, seeing her cover up her own Qingqing couldn't help shaking her head: "Hu Nian, you, don't think about your sister all the time, think about yourself, you are still a young girl."

Hu Nian lowered his head, but with mixed feelings in his heart, he sighed: "Brother Darin, you don't know, I, I can't..."

Xiao Darin shook his head: "Hmph, what's wrong?"

Hu Nian is the daughter of the descendant family, who can marry the royal family and become the queen and concubine. Although the Han family is a high-ranking official and married to a distant branch of the Xiao family, their status as slaves to the palace tent of the Empress Dowager Shulu has not been revoked.What's more, when Emperor Shizong of Liao Dynasty was there, Hu Nian's biological mother brought her into the palace. The Queen Mother once joked that Hu Nian would be betrothed to the then eldest prince Hou Abu as his concubine. This was a promise made by the future queen.Although Hou Abu died in the Xianggushan Incident before he grew up, it is obvious that Hu Nian is the first girl that all princes who have ambitions for the throne aim at the descendants.Perhaps, Hu Nian was sensible too early and knew too much, that's why he didn't dare to open his heart to pursue and love a man all these years.

Hu Nian looked at Xiao Darin, this cousin was sometimes like a real brother, she knew he cared about her, and knew what he was going to say, but the two of them met each other, she could only smile wryly: "Brother Darin , I know your good intentions... Perhaps in the future, Wuguli or Yanyan can have a free marriage. However, I am the eldest daughter, and I have to share the worries of my father and the family. I can't be willful. Now the daughter of the Xiao family is destined to marry the royal family , then I will bear it, so that the sisters can still have a true love."

Hu Nian stopped talking, shook his head and entered the circle to dance.

Hu Nian's struggle, Xiao Darin's grievances, Yanyan naturally did not know.As a young girl in the family, Yanyan could really live a heartless life. When she was in her teens, her biggest regret was that the man in front of her never paid her full attention to her dancing partner like she did.At this moment, Yanyan felt that everything around her was blurred, only the smile of the person in front of her was real.

However, although Han Derang is dancing, what he sees in his eyes and what he thinks in his heart is not here.Spring Nabo is not just a carnival for young men and women, but sometimes it is also a premeditated reorganization of power and a hunt for those with a heart.

Seeing that Han Derang was absent-minded, Yanyan couldn't help saying angrily: "Brother Derang, what are you thinking?"

Han Derang came back to his senses: "It's nothing..." Looking at the carefree little girl in front of him, he sighed softly: "Yanyan, you are so carefree, I don't know how many people envy you."

Yanyan frowned, "Brother Derang, you don't know how worried I am."

"Oh?" Han Derang became interested, "What do you have to worry about?"

"How can I not worry about it? My father often sighs and sighs. The eldest sister is always preoccupied. The second sister is still stupid and doesn't know anything. She only knows how to play."

"Pfft!" Rao Han Derang, who has always been steady, couldn't help laughing a little. When she described her second sister, wasn't she talking about herself?
Yanyan seemed to know what he was thinking, and glared at him angrily: "Of course I am different from the second sister. The second sister, she only cares about where the clothes look good, the jewelry looks good, and whose son is handsome. But I, I are different."

Han Derang smiled and said, "Then what are you thinking about?"

Yanyan suddenly froze: "I was thinking..."

If she had changed her father or sister, she must have passed by in vain, but seeing Han Derang's half-smile expression, she suddenly became unconvinced. Looking at Han Derang: "I, I'm thinking about the third-party account."

"The third room with the horizontal tent?" Han Derang couldn't help but stop, and then continued to dance to the music in a disguised manner, only smiling, "What's wrong with the third room with the horizontal tent?"

"If it wasn't for the fact that the third party in Hengzhang was fighting for the throne, today we would just drink and dance happily, and in the willow shooting competition, we would just judge winners and losers based on their ability, and there would be no need for such intrigue at all."

"Oh..." Han Derang was aroused by her words, "You also know about the intrigue in today's willow shooting competition?"

"Who can't see this? Xiyin wants to fight for Lang Junjun's position, but it's not just that he wants to, and the Lord agrees, and people like Brother Xiu and Xie Zhen agree to do it."

Han Derang was startled, he didn't expect Yanyan to hit the point, he paused before laughing: "I didn't expect that although you are young, you can see clearly than Xiyin."

Yanyan was displeased: "I'm not young anymore, I know everything."

The corners of Han Derang's mouth curled up and he didn't smile. Only a child would keep emphasizing that he was "not young" and "knows everything", but if he said it, Yanyan would definitely lose his temper. Suspecting that his next sentence would be something she didn't like to hear, she hurriedly changed the topic: "You also know that although I won today, it doesn't represent any results. Unless it's Xiyin or Zhimei, they won the first place, and they won't be right. The political situation has an impact."

Yanyan curled her mouth: "Even if they are the same, they have no chance anyway."

Han Derang gradually became interested in the little girl who seemed to have no intentions at all, but said that many things were on the point: "Why is there no chance?"

Yanyan is just thirteen or fourteen years old, the best age to show off. She reads and studies on a daily basis and is prone to whimsical thoughts. She has already accumulated a lot of words, but her words always seem childish in front of her father and elder sister. When the female companion or even my second sister talked about it, the other party was not interested.From childhood to adulthood, only Han Derang could patiently listen to her childish nonsense, and even help her sort out her scattered thoughts.Hearing that Han Derang was interested, he couldn't help but think of some things that he couldn't figure out during this time, so he just said it.

"They're stupid, so they don't stand a chance."

"Oh, why do you say they're stupid?"

"Because Brother Xiu and Xie Zhen are not close to them."

Handerang quickly caught something: "Brother Xiu, does it matter if they are on good terms with the princes?"

"Of course it's related..." Yanyan stared at her big round eyes, trying to explain, but couldn't. After all, she was young, and she was aware of many things, but she couldn't give a complete analysis. She hesitated for a while, and finally Thinking, looking at Han Derang, "Just like the Queen Mother Shulu, although she has done many things that everyone doesn't like, why can she be right every time?"

This kind of saying is new: "Oh, do you think the Empress Dowager Shulu is right every time?"

As a Hanchen, I really feel that this old queen who has prevented the Sinicization of Khitan at important junctures several times, is stubborn and backward, cruel and ruthless.Seeing the innocent look on the little girl's face, he opened his mouth to say something, but when he thought that the Empress Dowager Shulu was Yanyan's aunt after all, it was normal for a little girl who didn't know anything to worship her, so the words came out of his mouth. Side, still didn't say it.

Yan Yan seemed to see what he wanted to say, and suddenly said: "I think you always say that the Empress Dowager Shulu prefers the old system, doesn't like the Han people, and abolishes the crown prince as she pleases, which is wrong."

Although she uttered amazing words, she was still a little girl after all, with the expression on her face that she was trying hard to be recognized by others, it was really cute.Handerang looked at her like a little rabbit he raised when he was a child.He has always been restrained, but today he drank too much wine, he couldn't help but lose his composure. Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Yanyan's head. Feeling embarrassed after rubbing, he smiled and covered up: "Then what do you say?" ,Why is this?"

"I think what the Empress Dowager Shulu did was right, and what Taizong did was right. They didn't hinder Sinicization. It was Taizu and King Dongdan who were too anxious."

Han Derang was stunned. The Empress Dowager Shulu hindered the process of Sinicization. This was the consensus of his father, the Hanchens he knew, and even many descendants of the Khitan royal family.Whether they are out of heartache from the perspective of promoting Sinicization, or out of arrogance in maintaining the old system, there is no difference in this point.Unexpectedly, there was a little girl who came up with the completely opposite conclusion.

Han Derang knew that what she said was a bit out of line, if it was different from usual, he would definitely stop her, or divert her with other words.However, he was poured a few jugs of wine by everyone today, even though he was very measured, it was a little too much.I didn't feel it at the time, after a while, after dancing and blowing some wind, I became a little bit drunk, but also a little drunk, the thoughts that had been suppressed for a long time inevitably came up, but it was hard to talk to others.

Hearing that the little girl was speaking freely, for some reason, she was a little faintly excited. Seeing everyone dancing for a while, they dragged each other to a secluded place for a heart-to-heart exchange.

He pulled Yanyan to point to the secluded place nearby, and said with a smile: "Oh, what you said is very fresh. There are many people here, let's talk over there." Yanyan was overjoyed, and pulled Han Derang to a secluded corner.

Those who are alone at this moment are all in pairs. Yanyan sat down and looked at Han Derang, almost forgetting what she wanted to say, just looking at Han Derang, watching and smiling, her eyes were shining, and she wanted to say something, but then I don't know how to speak.

When Han Derang sat down, he regretted his own Meng Lang. He was really dazed by the alcohol just now, and it was too bad to refuse at this time and hurt the little girl's heart. According to the medical principles taught by his father, he breathed lightly and slowly calmed down the alcohol. Suppressed, regained his energy, pretended not to know and smiled: "Yanyan, what did you just say?"

After all, Yanyan is very smart. Seeing Han Derang bring up this matter, she remembered that she had just brought up the topic with the "horizontal third room", so Han Derang dragged her here to meet alone.At this time, she was in a state of half-hearted love, and she didn't know that there was no need for other topics between lovers.If a man takes you alone and doesn't talk to you about love, then it's good to know early on that he has no intentions for you.

And as long as she can be alone with Han Derang, she is full of joy. There is a topic saying that it would be great. In short, she wants to let this time alone be as long as possible: "Speaking of the Empress Dowager Shulu."

Han Derang recalled what he said just now, and sighed: "Everyone says that the Empress Dowager Shulu loves the old system more than the Han family system. Even when Taizong went south in the past, she was still very displeased: 'Is it possible to make the Han people the Khitan king? If not , Why do you want to be the king of the Han family.' Daliao established the country and promoted the Han system, and it was stopped several times by the Empress Dowager Shulu. Why do you say she is right?" His family started from the Empress Dowager Shulu, but the implementation of the Daliao Han system, But it was folded in her hands several times, which really made him feel complicated.

Yanyan shook her head: "I don't think it's right, the Empress Dowager Shulu does not oppose the Han system."

Han Derang took a closer look at Yanyan, but saw that she was still as innocent as before, but these words were definitely not something that an ignorant little girl could say, so she said "oh" immediately: "Why do you think so?"

"Everyone said that the Empress Dowager Shulu didn't like the Han system, so she abolished the Dongdan king and established Taizong. They also said that she liked the old system, so she killed the Han officials. But I looked at my father's old files a few days ago, but I thought it was wrong. She was the one who persuaded the Emperor Taizu not to kill the Han officials from the Southern Dynasty, and saved Master Han Yanhui. And your family is also a member of Queen Yingtian. If she didn't like the Han system, she wouldn't recommend it to Taizu. There are many Hanchens..." Han Derang's grandfather, Han Zhigu, was also a dowry slave of the Empress Dowager Shulu, so he was reused.

Yanyan did check the old files in Xiao Siwen's study because she was interested in Han Derang and wanted to know everything about his family.I don't want to think that when I was talking to Han Derang at this time, seeing Han Derang's eyes getting brighter and brighter, he slipped out of the mouth in excitement, Fang thought of Han Derang's birth taboo, was shocked into a cold sweat, and looked at him anxiously: "De Let brother, I didn't mean it, don't be angry."

Han Derang couldn't help laughing: "Everyone knows about my family background, so there's nothing to avoid. It's just from your little girl's family. How could you think of checking this?"

Yanyan faltered twice: "I was just looking for something, and I saw it by accident." Seeing that Han Derang was not unhappy, she boldly pulled him to act like a baby: "Brother Derang, are you not angry?"

Han Derang lowered his head, thinking about Yanyan's words just now, it actually made him think again.His family had generations of Hanchens, so they naturally felt that what the Empress Dowager Shulu did was very unreasonable.However, Yanyan's family is originally the mother family of the Empress Dowager Shulu, so her thoughts and thoughts are naturally on the side of the Empress Dowager Shulu.

Perhaps, the Empress Dowager Shulu was not as stubborn and old-fashioned as they thought—a woman who has been in charge of state affairs for so many years and changed the fate of the Liao Kingdom several times. It's over.

Han Derang pondered for a moment, then sighed: "Yanyan, you are right. Indeed, the Empress Dowager Shulu... It's not that she doesn't like King Dongdan, or Hanchen, nor does she like old customs and protecting the tribe. If it wasn't for her Emperor Taizu did not have the determination to eradicate the other seven ministries; if it were not for her recommendation, many Hanchens would not have been able to reuse it so easily at the beginning..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought again.

Yanyan didn't expect her casual words to cause Han Derang to think so deeply. Seeing that Han Derang still didn't move after a while, she couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Derang, brother Derang, what's wrong with you?"

Han Derang came back to his senses, and suddenly said: "Yanyan, thank you."

Yanyan was puzzled: "What? What are you thanking me for?"

Han Derang caressed the top of her head lovingly: "The Master said: 'When three people walk together, there must be my teacher.' This statement is really not bad. I didn't expect that you would give me a new view today. Alas, I just say... ...The journey is repeated. But maybe turn around and think about it, maybe sometimes, it’s really too fast, or it’s too fast in the eyes of others.”

Over the years, generations of the Han family have pondered hard, and whenever the Daliao emperor wanted to implement the Han system, he always broke it halfway through.It's just that achievements are hard to come by, Yanyan's unintentional words today suddenly gave Han Derang a new idea.Reversing back to the first time when the implementation of the Han system was blocked, they always believed that the failure was due to the excessive power of the old clan and officials of the Liao Kingdom, which made the Empress Dowager Shulu influenced by them, and she did not like the Han system, so she did not like the King of Dongdan, which led to The first generation of Hanchen's efforts were completely defeated.

But looking at it from another angle, what the Empress Dowager Shulu doesn't like is not the Han system, but only because the Han Chen or the Han system affects the balance she thinks.Or, she just judged the situation and used the most suitable person at the most suitable time.

And the different attitudes of the Empress Dowager Shulu towards the Han system in different eras can best reflect the views of most Khitan people at that time.As Hanchens, they should also put aside their original assumptions and efforts, change their thinking and methods, and gain a deeper understanding of most of the powerful upper echelons, including the Empress Dowager Shulu, instead of just lobbying a few emperors. better reach your goals.

This is the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy, so that you can fight a hundred battles with victories.Thinking of this, Han Derang didn't have the heart to continue singing and dancing: "It's getting late, you are young, I will send you back to the camp early to sleep, so that you don't get up tomorrow." Yanyan didn't expect to say a few words, and Han Derang was about to rush When she left, she felt baffled, and felt very unhappy: "Brother Derang, others are still dancing, and you want to drive me back."

"I can't control others, but since you came out, it's my responsibility. Come, I'll take you back."

Yanyan was displeased, she threw Han Derang aside and ran away.

Han Derang was helpless, fearing that she would get into trouble again, so he hurriedly went to Hu Nian again.

Hu Nian couldn't resist Xiao Darin's persuasion, and was pulled into the dancing ranks. Not long after, he saw Xiyin leaning in front of her, with many ambiguous meanings revealed in the corners of his brows and eyes.

How smart Hu Nian is, he saw through his intentions at a glance, felt bored in his heart, turned around and was about to leave, Xi Yin was anxious, and hurriedly followed: "Hu Nian, you danced just right, why are you leaving?"

Hu Nian said lightly: "I'm tired, I want to go back to rest earlier."

Xi Yin hurriedly said, "I'll take you back to the tent."

Hu Nian shook his head: "No need, it's still very lively over there, you can go dancing again."

Xiyin took a step forward, eagerly: "Hu Nian, I am sincere..."

Hu Nian stopped, with a half-smile: "As I said, I'm tired."

Xi Yin was anxious, and suddenly had a plan: "Is this the earring you dropped?"

Hu Nian couldn't help touching his earlobe, surprised: "My earrings never fell off."

But Xi Yin was holding a pair of white jade earrings in his hand: "I think these earrings are very suitable for you, why don't you try them on?"

Hu Nian glanced at it, but saw that the white jade was exquisitely carved, and it was obviously not of ordinary quality. This could not be something that was picked up at random, but it was obviously carefully prepared by Xiyin.

Although he knew his reason for coming early, seeing his behavior like this, he obviously underestimated himself, and smiled angrily: "What does King Xiyin mean?"

Seeing her smile, Xiyin thought she was being courteous, so she put on a warm and affectionate attitude: "The swan geese flying in the sky will eventually fall back to their nests. Hu Nian, your talent and appearance should match the real geese. Your Excellency. When you and I are together, it is the most outstanding combination of the descendants and the royal family."

Hu Nian withdrew his smile: "King Xiyin, you are too confident. Unfortunately, you should keep this pair of earrings for yourself."

"Hu Nian, I am sincere—"

"It doesn't matter if you are sincere or false, King Xiyin, you should save your sweet words for other girls. To me, you are too simple, and you can see the bottom line at a glance."

Xi Yin didn't want Hu Nian to say these words, and was stunned. Hu Nian ignored him, turned and left.Xiyin was annoyed in his heart, put away his earrings, and was about to leave with resentment when he turned around and saw another girl running over with a smile: "King Xiyin, what are you talking about with my sister?"

Xiyin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I didn't say anything. I asked her, where have you been, and I was looking for you."

This girl is Xiao Siwen's second daughter, Wuguli, seeing Xiyin speak like this, she was very surprised: "You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

Xi Yin held the pair of earrings in his palms and sent them to Wuguli: "I want to give these earrings to a girl I have admired for a long time, but I don't know if I have the honor."

Wu Guli took the earring, surprised and delighted: "Give it to me?"

"Naturally it was given to you."

"I thought..." Halfway through speaking, Wuguli stopped.

Xiyin had just bumped his nose in front of Hu Nian just now, just at the moment of annoyance, when he saw Wu Guli walking, he just said it in passing, but he didn't want Wu Guli to give him a pleasantly surprised response, and he couldn't help feeling confident again , secretly complacent, and said with a joke: "What do you think?"

Wu Guli lowered his head and mumbled, "I thought you were looking for my elder sister."

Xiyin could see what was on her mind: "Not everyone is only interested in Hu Nian, I prefer a straightforward and cute girl like you. Just now I just asked Hu Nian for your whereabouts..."

Wuguli lowered his head and secretly rejoiced.The girl Huaichun, their sisters and the girls of the same clan who played with them inevitably discussed who was more suitable for marriage among the royal family.The princes of the same age in Hengzhang Sanfang have all been counted by them.The first room belongs to a Han girl, and Ming’s health is too poor; the second room’s Yu Sage is too old, and Di Lie is born of a maidservant and has little influence; the third room’s Xiyin and Wan’s temper are too bad and popular.

However, the analysis is the analysis. When the person who has been discussed in private as the best match expresses his heartfelt affectionately, he is naturally happy and surprised, and all kinds of thoughts are rushing, twisting in the bones: "I, I...how do you Will... when..."

"When I was changing the god lock today, I saw you in the crowd at a glance. I saw you standing beside Hu Nian, so beautiful, I even asked others about you."

Wuguli blushed even more: "How did you find out?"

"I said, who is that girl who is as beautiful as a flower that can walk on the grassland? They told me that she is the second daughter of Mrs. Siwen, Wu Guli." Seeing Wu Guli bowed her head in shame, Clenching his hands tightly, Xi Yin became more and more proud: "Come on, Wuguli, I'll put the earrings on for you."

Wuguli stretched out her hand shyly, Xiyin took the earrings and put them on for her.The firelight reflected on her face, which was quite moving.Xiyin originally wanted to take advantage of it, but she couldn't help but feel a little moved: "It's really beautiful..." Wugu was flustered, and didn't know whether he was talking about people or jewelry.

Xi Yin pointed to the place where the music sounded again: "Will you dance with me?"

Wuguli was even more flustered: "I, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Xi Yin directly took her hand and walked towards the music.Then she was dizzy, and she didn't know how she danced, how she laughed, how she walked hand in hand with Xiyin, when she woke up, she had already returned to her tent.

Sitting on the head of the bed, covering his hot face, he was happy and panicked at the moment, not knowing what to do.It wasn't until Yanyan ran into the tent in a hurry that she came back to her senses and said angrily, "Yanyan, why did you come back after playing outside so late?"

Unexpectedly, Yanyan looked angry, kicked her boots and climbed onto the couch, shouting: "Don't mention it, don't mention it, don't mention him with me again."

Wuguli naturally knew that after she went out after dressing up today, she must ask Han Derang to dance, and even made fun of her a few words. She came back later than himself, thinking that she was too happy to return, but she did not expect her to be so angry .

"Why, did you quarrel with Han Derang?" This is really strange.

Yanyan sat on the couch, gritted her teeth, didn't say anything, dressed herself meticulously, and thought about something to talk to Han Derang. Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Han Derang would send her back. Talk about love like others.Can't he see why he is so well-dressed?He doesn't know why everyone is in pairs at night like this?

That's why she ran away annoyed, thinking that he would come after him, or simply find someone else to play with.He didn't want to turn his head, but Hu Nian found it and brought it back.What annoyed her the most was that Han De asked Hu Nian to arrest her. He didn't play with her, and he didn't let her play with others. It was really irritating.

Wuguli was puzzled, and after asking her for a long time, she said everything angrily, but Wuguli laughed. Yanyan was furious, picked up the pillow and hit her: "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you, silly girl, you are a descendant girl, but you go to please a palace [1] person. Then what's so good about Han Derang, it's worth your eagerness to please him."

Yanyan herself was so angry with Han Derang just now, she was terribly annoyed, and when she heard that Wu Guli said something wrong with him, she became unhappy, and sat up and retorted: "Brother Derang is good at riding and shooting, martial arts, good looks, good temper Even better, it’s No.1 in today’s willow shooting competition. What’s wrong with him? What’s wrong with me liking him?”

Seeing that she was annoyed, Wuguli laughed even louder: "I thought you really annoyed him, why did you protect him again?"

Yanyan became depressed again, and said sullenly, "That's two different things."

She didn't want to continue talking, and instead asked Wu Guli: "Second sister, you, with such a blushing face and such a happy smile, have you met a man you like?"

"Hmph, I won't tell you."

Yanyan threw herself on her body to tickle her: "No, no, I told you, why didn't you tell me?" Wu Guli couldn't stop laughing, turned to scratch Yanyan, and the two rolled on the bed, It made the bed boards rattle, and finally both of them were tired before they stopped.

Wuguli suddenly thought of something, and pushed Yanyan: "Hey, tell me, Han Derang doesn't care about you, who would he like?"

Yanyan sat up immediately, her eyes widened: "Impossible, brother Derang won't like others."

"Why not?"

Yanyan was angry and anxious, and blurted out: "Who can be better than me?"

Black bone laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Yanyan, you are not ashamed, hahaha..."

Yanyan became anxious, and threw herself on Wu Guli, pinching her neck and threatening: "Who are you talking about, who are you talking about?"

"It doesn't matter if I tell you who it is, can you still beat him up?" Wu Guli was joking casually, but seeing that Yanyan seemed to be really annoyed, her neck was pinched and choked, so she could only yell, "Okay, okay, I said, it's the eldest sister, it's the eldest sister..."

Yanyan was stunned for a moment, let go of Wu Guli and shouted: "How is it possible, you are talking nonsense."

But Wuguli didn't just talk nonsense, she accidentally saw Hu Nian standing outside the fire pond looking at Han Derang, she didn't feel that look at the time, but after the tryst with Xiyin, she picked up the mirror and looked at her own eyes , suddenly understood something.He couldn't see Yanyan's infatuation with Han Derang, so he couldn't help but say it out. Seeing that Yanyan refused to believe it, he asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Yanyan's mood suddenly became depressed. The eldest sister was better than herself in everything, and it was only natural that Derang's brother liked her.What would happen if they were together? When I think about their being together...

Yanyan jumped up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Second sister, you really coaxed me."

Surprised in the bones: "Why do you say I coax you?"

Yanyan rolled her eyes, and suddenly covered her stomach and laughed wildly: "If you think about what it would be like for the two of them to sit together, you will know that it is impossible... I guess, if the two of them face each other for a whole day, who will be the best?" And I won’t open my mouth first... If I open my mouth, it will definitely be a lesson to others!”

Wu Guli was also a little skeptical at first, but when Yanyan said it vividly, after thinking about what Yanyan said, he couldn't help but thumped the bed and laughed wildly: "Oh, Yanyan, your metaphor is perfect, it's true. Eldest sister and That Han Derang, he always looks like "I don't tell you, you should understand", when he is about to speak, he must teach others first, hahaha, tell me, if they are together, who will teach who? ah?"

"I think it will be Derang who will teach the eldest sister a lesson."

Wu Guli disagreed: "Hmph, I think it will be the elder sister who will teach Han Derang a lesson."

The more the two thought about it, the more funny it became, and they couldn't help laughing again and again.

Yanyan wiped away the tears that came out of laughter, and pushed her bones: "Stop laughing, if the elder sister hears that we make up her behind her back, she will definitely not spare us."

Rubbing Yanyan's head in the black bone, he sighed pretendingly: "Oh, you child, you still have the mind to make up a big sister, I see you, you don't even know what liking is."

Yanyan turned her head in dissatisfaction, and shouted: "Don't touch my head, I will beat anyone who dares to touch my head again." She felt that when she grew up, she didn't like to be touched by others as a little girl anymore.Except for Han Derang, of course.

Wu Guli raised his hand to signal: "Okay, okay, don't touch your head anymore, Yanyan is a big girl, old enough to like men, you can't touch your head anymore, hahaha." Seeing Yanyan's displeasure, she hurriedly turned around. Then he said: "However, don't worry, Han Derang and eldest sister, it is impossible."

"What is impossible?"

"The daughter of our Xiao family, even if she can't be a queen, she has to be a princess. No matter how outstanding Han Derang is, but he is a Han Chinese, how can the elder sister marry him?"

Yanyan was immediately displeased: "Then according to Second Sister, who should the daughter of the Xiao family marry?"

Counting his fingers in Wugu, he listed the three branches of the royal family one by one.

Yanyan heard her counting all the way, and only Xiyin was suitable. During the day, Xiyin shot willows and played ghosts, but she saw it: "Isn't Xiyin the only one left? I don’t want Xiyin to be my brother-in-law. Brother Derang Definitely don't like Xiyin."

"Hey, silly Yanyan, who do I marry, why do I need Han Derang's consent?"

"Anyway, brother De Rang doesn't like him, and I don't like him either, and my eldest sister certainly doesn't like him. The whole family doesn't like each other, how can they be together?"

Wu Guli was pissed off by this unreasonable silly girl: "I like Xiyin, what does it have to do with Han Derang? Who wants to be with his family, how can he be with our family?"

Yanyan couldn't answer for a while, so she turned her face and said, "Hmph, I'm going to tell Eldest Sister, and ask Eldest Sister to take care of you."

Wuguli was furious, picked up the pillow and threw it at Yanyan: "I want you to take care of it, I want you to take care of it."

Yanyan also picked up the pillow and threw it at Wuguli: "I just don't agree, but I don't agree."

The two were hitting each other vigorously, when suddenly a person lifted the curtain and came in, scolding: "Have you guys had enough trouble?"

When the two of them saw it, they were so frightened that the pillow fell off. It was the eldest sister they feared most——Hu Nian.
