Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 143 Fighting and Holding Hands
One is the proud son of heaven, and the other is a natural nobleman. In the sight of each other, neither of them backed down a step, and the flames blazed.

Xia Zhen squinted her eyes, looking very cold. Wearing a half-military uniform, she stood heroically at the door of the private room, holding a saber in her hand. She looked graceful and graceful like a weather totem in a prosperous age.

Liu Zaili also has a handsome face, an upright posture, and a natural and unrestrained temperament, like a gentleman, gentle and jade, and also like a maniac and evil charm, making it difficult to see through.

The young masters looked at this pair of young dignitaries who assisted Yuan Tai, and never expected that they would stand at odds without saying a word. Did something happen?

Is it to compete for favor in front of the new emperor?Hearing that Xia Zhen who came from the north is going to be crowned as the first-rank prince, is Liu Zili not relieved?If this is the case, Liu Zaili should be standing at the door instead of Xia standing at the door, so what are they doing?

The gossip here has not yet come to fruition, and Princess Yunbao at the door has attracted the attention of noble sons. Among them, there are many families who want to play with the princess. Of course, they will not use the eldest son or grandson to marry the princess, but the second son , The youngest son can marry the princess, which is also a great help!
It's just why the princess gave Xia Zhen's husband a good look. Didn't I hear that the emperor planned to marry the princess to Xia Zhen?What is this story?
Princess Yunbao pursed her lips tightly, stubbornly not letting the tears flow down, and stared closely at the man next to her, as if with a good eye, he would disappear from her sight again.

But the other party's cold response broke her heart, her whole body trembled slightly, crystal tears rolled in her eyes, her wet eyes looked at Zhuang Hao, her eyes motionless in prayer, look at me, Just take one look, after one look, we will return from bridge to bridge, and from road to road...

Zhuang Hao turned his face slightly, his eyes were still on the master and Yancheng County King, as if there was no one else at the door, he just paid attention to the safety of the master without blinking, with one hand on the saber at his waist, like A sculpture, delicate and perfect.

Without even looking at it, Princess Rainbow Dash lowered her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed out.Tears rolled down her cheeks, dripped on the corners of her mouth, face, and finally fell to the ground, disappearing in an instant, just like their love "How long has it been like a spring dream?"Going like a cloud without a place to look. '

The private room on the top floor is so quiet that even the wind leaking in through the window can be heard, the young masters looked at each other in blank dismay, how long will this confrontation last!As if knowing what everyone was guessing, someone between the two said, "Return all the letters to Min'er!"

Min'er...who is it?What is a letter?
Also... The young masters looked at Liu Zaili. This guy seemed to have taken his personal letter, and it seemed to be addressed to a young lady. It was a love letter. No wonder he was so angry that he kicked the door and even wanted to beat him.

Hit someone?The young masters realized this, and quietly avoided the corner. The little general standing at the door, I heard that he was the wolf and tiger general from the north, and he would kill without blinking. Otherwise, how could he have helped the former king of Jin defeat the late emperor and successfully enthroned.

Liu Zaili pursed his lips, looked away, and looked to the other side of the door. It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, his brows immediately frowned when he saw it, what kind of picture was this.

Princess Yunbao had tears in her eyes, and kept looking up at Zhuang Hao with her small face slightly up, but he looked up at his master slightly as if he didn't see it, without blinking, and stood upright, as if he didn't know what was happening around him at all. There is a princess.

The shopkeeper of Yazhuxuan scrambled and scrambled all the way to the princess mansion, panicked, the carriage and the servants followed behind, and he didn't know how to sit on it, the people from the capital's soldiers and horses were patrolling the street, they were all just people on the scene, Who doesn't know the chief steward of the Long Princess Restaurant? Seeing him like this, he asked curiously: "Master You, what are you doing? There's a carriage behind you and you're sweating all over your head?"

"I...I..." Shopkeeper You didn't stop when he was replying. He repeated his words again and again, and a terrifying sentence burst out of his mouth, "Da... the restaurant of the eldest princess is surrounded by people."

"What?" The casual Commander immediately looked serious, "What happened, Shopkeeper You?"

Shopkeeper You was still running, "They are going to fight because of a woman, and I want to report to the eldest princess... oops..." The carriage and servants who followed found that Shopkeeper You had tripped over something on the road, and hurriedly Helped him into the carriage.

Fighting over women?The Commander who had been serious just now relaxed again. These days, there is nothing else, but it is common for noble children to be jealous because of women's strife, and they like to hear these things the most.

The subordinates came up smiling, "Commander, have we made some money?"

The commanders all squinted and smiled, "Knowing that the brothers are cold and hungry on patrol in winter nights, here are the money!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed together.

There is an unwritten rule in the capital that if a nobleman is jealous of a woman in public places such as restaurants and restaurants, and is caught by soldiers and horses, he must take money to Dali Temple to redeem the money. Sixty-four layers.

The people from Bingmasi happily went to the Eldest Princess's Yazhuxuan. Normally, even if they were from Bingmasi, they might not have many chances to enter Yazhuxuan. Today, they can kill two birds with one stone, so great.

It's a pity that before they reached the range of Yazhuxuan, they were blocked by soldiers, real swords and guns, in the cold night, through the light of the moon, the silver light shone, and the chill permeated people.

Zhang Nianmei looked at the people in the capital's military department, cupped her hands and said, "I'm sorry, brother, tonight, Zhuyaxuan is only allowed to enter, not to exit."

"General Zhang, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, my general and King Yancheng have some private matters to settle."

"Private matter?" The commander looked at the main entrance of Yazhuxuan, just here, there are no less than a thousand people at a glance, "How many people are needed to solve a private matter?"

Zhang Nianmei followed his gaze around, and grinned, "What are these people, there are so many people in front, back, left, and outside."

What?All the commanders were shocked in their hearts, so many people were going to be disturbed in private, could it be that Xia was going to make trouble?

There was a scout in charge of delivering news in the Bing Ma Si, he had already slipped out quietly by a coincidence, and with his departure, the entire capital city's nobles were awakened.

"The princess's restaurant is surrounded by little general Xia?" This was the voice from Prince Ning's mansion.

"Yes, my lord."

"Why?"

"I heard it was for a woman."

"Woman?" Ning Ren couldn't believe his ears, "This is really a joke, Zili has never made us worry about women, how could he transfer tens of thousands of soldiers to Xia Zhen for a woman, it's impossible? "

"But... the eldest princess's steward and the people from Wucheng Bingma Division all said the same thing."

King Ning suddenly stood up, "I don't believe you even say that."

"My lord, then..."

King Ning thought for a moment, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Yazhuxuan."

"Yes, my lord."

Princess Chang's Mansion, "You said Yancheng County King and General Xia have already fought over Yun Bao?"

"When the young one came, there was no fight yet, but Xia Zhen mobilized 1 people to surround Yazhuxuan from inside to outside."

The eldest princess was shocked, "Come here——"

"Princess……"

"Hurry up and send the news to the palace."

The waiter glanced at the chief steward and said, "Princess, maybe the news has already reached the palace."

Uh... the eldest princess slapped her head, "Hurry up and prepare the carriage for me."

"Princess……"

"Go to Yazhuxuan."

"Yes, princess."

Before the dragon case in the imperial palace of the capital, the secret guards had already brought in the news, "Your Majesty, the King of Yancheng intercepted all the letters that General Xia wrote to the little lady, and now he is blocked by General Xia in Yazhuxuan."

"A letter to the little lady?" Emperor Yuan Tai asked interestedly, "Who is it?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, she is the wife of General Xia who has never been married."

"Oh, so it's the daughter of Ma's sugarcane." Emperor Yuantai seemed to be lost in thought.

"Holy... Your Majesty, there are many things in Beijing where children are jealous of their children, but there is no one like Little General Xia, who is surrounded by tens of thousands of people and is still the princess's dowry shop."

Emperor Yuantai raised his eyes suddenly, with a half-smile on his face, "I heard that the northerners are brave and reckless, and they really deserve their name."

"Your Majesty, you will be punished for privately mobilizing three hundred soldiers in the capital, General Xia..."

Emperor Yuantai's slender eyebrows narrowed slightly, and a bright light shot out from his eyes, "Woman? It's good to be young when you are angry with the crown."

"My lord, don't you blame him?"

Emperor Yuantai smiled and shook his head, "No hurry, no hurry, let's see how they are playing?"

"Holy... Your Majesty, King Yancheng has all the forbidden troops in his hands, and the forbidden troops are all in the palace. How can he defeat Little General Xia?" The old servant was surprised and puzzled.

Emperor Yuantai narrowed his eyes again, and his brows and eyes turned into a smile that was not a smile, "If you are curious, I allow you to ask."

"Holy... Your Majesty..."

"Hurry up and inquire, I also want to know the result."

"Yes, my lord."

In the private room on the top floor of Yazhuxuan, Xia Zhen's dangerous eyes flickered again, "Why didn't you answer?"

"Do you still want to answer?" Liu Zaili glanced at Princess Yunbao, "You have her, so what letter do you need to write? You are disrespecting the princess."

Yun Bao didn't seem to hear Liu Zaili's words, and still looked at Zhuang Hao, "Why don't you take a look at me?"

Uh……

Xia Zhen didn't answer, but Princess Yunbao's voice came out. Everyone was waiting to gossip. Hearing her question, everyone's hearts of gossip burned like a raging fire. They felt that going out to play tonight was really profitable.

Xia Zhen turned his head when he heard Yun Bao's voice. He didn't know that the princess had come until now. He thought that what he heard was for him, but...the princess' eyes were looking at Zhuang Hao.

Seeing the little general looking over, Zhuang Hao took a step forward and saluted, "General, the 1 horses brought by General Zhang have already surrounded Yazhuxuan. They are only allowed to enter, but not to exit."

When the young masters heard this, they all shouted in shock: "What, surrounded?"

"God, I heard that right, there are actually 1 people!"

"My old mother, what does the surname Xia want to do? She dares to surround the restaurant of the eldest princess with soldiers. She thinks..."

……

Xia Zhenfeng's stern gaze glanced at the chattering young masters, and seeing that they were still discussing, he drew out the bright sword, and the room became completely silent in an instant.

"Tonight is a personal grievance between me and Liu Dezi. If you don't want to die, you'd better keep quiet."

Hearing this, Liu Zaili's standing posture was no longer tall and straight, but a little lazy and slow, "Xia Zi'an, you can do it, but I always thought you were a reckless man, but I didn't expect to make trouble. It’s really on the right track, it hits the mark.”

No matter what his words implied, Xia Zhen rolled her eyes and raised her forehead, "Bring me the letter."

"I didn't bring it with me."

"Someone bring it here."

"That's not good, why don't you come back with me to get it?"

Xia Zhen sneered: "You have lost the qualification to negotiate with me, so you can only be brought over."

"What if... my subordinates accidentally read the letter you wrote? After all, it says, kiss my Min'er, miss you, miss you a thousand times..."

Liu Zaili narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Do you want me to continue?"

Xia Zhen stood boldly at the door, as if she hadn't moved at all since she came in, and the air around her seemed to be condensed by the coldness on her body, which was faintly frightening.

Jing Mo appeared from nowhere, cupped his hands and said, "Junwang Yancheng, with me by your side, he should not be able to read the contents of the letter."

"Are you the number one expert around Xia Zhen?"

Xia Zhen interrupted: "Liu Zaili, I advise you not to play tricks here, and hurry up to get the letter."

Liu Zai snorted, "What if I don't?"

Xia Zhen stared at Liu Zaili for a while, "Then I'll beat you until you take them back."

"beat?"

On the main street of the capital, a family member rushed to a luxurious carriage and shouted: "Princess, they are fighting, fighting..."

"What, do you really have to fight?"

"Yes, Eldest Princess, absolutely correct."

The eldest princess asked anxiously, "What about Yunhe, does it matter to her?"

"Yun..." The servant was dumbfounded, "Little...didn't... hear about the second princess."

"You slave..."

In the bedroom of Emperor Yuantai of the imperial palace, the chief steward was waiting for the sage to take a bath and change clothes. Someone outside wanted to send a message, and the little servant quietly walked up to the chief steward, "Can you let him in?"

Emperor Yuantai heard it, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, my lord."

The dark guard quickly replied: "My lord, they are fighting."

"how?"

"It seems...it seems..."

"It seems that Little General Xia, who has experienced many battles, is even better than him?"

"Your Majesty is wise, that's it."

The chief officer couldn't help but said: "Little General Xia has 1 people with him, and King Yancheng only has a few guards, so how can he be his opponent?"

The Holy Majesty was taken aback for a moment, then Jier laughed, "Haha..."

Aren't you telling the truth?Why did the emperor laugh instead of worrying? The big steward couldn't figure it out.

The hidden guard somewhat understood what the emperor was laughing at, and quietly retreated out with his hands folded.

The chief steward looked dumbfounded, and laughed as he watched the emperor.

Emperor Yuantai finally stopped laughing, "Master!"

"The slave is here."

Emperor Yuantai stopped talking, shook his head and smiled, "Make the bed for me, I'm going to rest."

"Holy... Your Majesty, the King of Yancheng and the little general..."

"Let the young people solve their own affairs."

"What if you miss the fight?"

Emperor Yuantai paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "Has Master Feng arrived in Beijing?"

"Return to the emperor, I heard that I have arrived in the capital area tonight."

"Then I will see him in two or three days." Emperor Yuantai suddenly relaxed and lay down on the bed slowly, "Leave only one."

"Yes, my lord."

The chief steward took good care of Emperor Yuantai, and told the young eunuchs on duty to wait carefully, and after a while, he left the door of the bedroom.

The little servant who served him next to him finally couldn't help but said, "Master, the emperor's intention is clearly that the king of Yancheng and General Xia are fighting. Why do you say that they are leading the fight separately? Isn't that a war?"

The head steward smiled lightly, "Do you think I don't understand?"

"Ah, master, then you..."

The chief manager continued to walk forward with his hands behind his back, "Can there be a fool who can be a master!"

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Boy, when you can understand, even if you don't reach my position, you must be a small manager."

"Oh. Master." The little waiter rubbed his head and began to digest all the news, allowing himself to grow.

In the private room on the top floor of Zhuyaxuan, all the screens have been broken, stepped on, or used as weapons. The young masters have changed from fleeing in fear to onlookers. Most of them are Liu Zaili. Friends of Liu Zaizhu's people, who are also the masses, shouted in unison, "Zi Li, hit him on the back, on the back..."

Xia Zhen didn't give Liu Zaili a chance at all. She squatted down and turned his body with a sideways hand. With a bang, a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw was completed, and Liu Zaili was thrown to the ground again. Water does not nourish people, Liu Dezi, your body has been hollowed out by feasting, you can't beat me."

Liu Zaili, who was thrown, turned his head and looked at him, "Xia Zi'an, didn't you just throw me a few times, I'm fine, what are you proud of?"

Xia Zhen sneered: "Liu Zaili, I don't care what you do, take my letter back."

"What if I don't take you?"

Xia Zhen lowered her body suddenly, and pressed down with an elbow and hammer, so fast that people didn't even have time to blink.

"Ah..." Princess Yunbao turned around in fright and hugged Zhuang Hao's waist, buried her head in his arms, trembling with fright.

Zhuang Hao raised his hand several times and wanted to push away the hands that were hugging him tightly, and wanted to push away the delicate and delicate princess, but he couldn't do it after all.

Everyone thought it was Liu Zaili's cry, but he curled up and instinctively shrunk to protect the soft part of his stomach and liver, blocking Xia Zhen's sneak attack.

It was only after there was no danger that the young masters realized that the voice just now was a female voice. In this room, who else dared to call out except Princess Rainbow. When they raised their eyes, they were all stunned.

What the princess did to General Xia's subordinates just now, they just felt abnormal, but now they are even hugging, what kind of style is this, even Liu Zaili, who was lying on the ground, did not expect that he would lure the princess out, it would be With such a result, shouldn't she be pestering Xia Zhen, shouldn't Xia Zhen be unable to marry Ma Erniang?How could this be?He suddenly felt very depressed.

Seeing his subordinates and the princess like this, Xia Zhen, who is in love, seems to understand, but...he can't come out, but treats the love of others with his own heart, he knows what it feels like to like.

The tips of Zhuang Hao's ears were red when he was nervous, but it was a pity that everyone didn't notice it in the cold winter night.

"Rainbow——" the eldest princess heard her younger sister calling downstairs, and hurried upstairs in fright, but she didn't expect to see this scene: "Sister——"

"Sister...sister..." Princess Yunbao let go of her embraced hands, and stood aside with her face flushed, her head slightly lowered.

Zhuang Hao took a step forward and saluted, "His Royal Highness——"

The eldest princess glanced at Zhuang Hao. With just one glance, she probably understood the identity and status of this person. She coldly withdrew her gaze and looked at King Yancheng and General Xia, "You two..."

Xia Zhen got up from Liu Zaili and came over to salute, "Your Highness——"

"Princess..." Liu Zaili also got up and saluted, before the salute was finished, King Ning also arrived, "Father——"

King Ning looked at Xia Zhen. Although they had met quite a few times, he still scrutinized the young general who commanded him, "General Xia..."

"My lord..."

King Ning looked at his son, his hair was a little loose, the golden crown was a little crooked, he looked really embarrassed, "Zi Li, lost the fight?"

"No……"

"I think you've lost!" King Ning interrupted his son, "Your clothes and hair are messed up, and General Xia's hair hasn't moved at all."

Everyone followed King Ning's gaze, and it was really like this. The nobles quietly retreated back, don't let the gods fight, they will suffer.

"Little General Xia, I'm really sorry. As landlords, we should treat you well, but..." King Ning smiled apologetically.

"Liu Zaili, since you admit defeat, bring my letter here."

Liu Zaili squinted his eyes without moving.

"Zi Li—" King Ning looked at his son with a serious expression.

"Yes, father!" Liu Zaili raised his hand, and a follower stepped forward, "Give him the letter from General Xia."

"Yes, the king of the county."

Seeing that the matter was settled, King Ning smiled and looked at the princess, "Yunhua, are you here too?"

"Yes, Uncle."

King Ning looked at Yun Bao and said with a smile: "Yun Bao, your future husband-in-law is really good. My son-in-law fights in Beijing. He has never lost a fight since he was a child. Today is considered a layoff."

"Uncle, he's not my future husband." Rainbow Dash replied nasally.

King Ning looked surprised: "That's..."

Rainbow Dash looked at Zhuang Hao.

Everyone stared at Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao lowered his head.

Rainbow Dash pursed her lips, tears welled up in her eyes again, but someone held her hand, looked at her hand, and suddenly raised her head, "You..."

Zhuang Hao smiled slightly at her, and that smile contained fearless courage and a fearless spirit for love.

"Rainbow——" the eldest princess was shocked: "Let go of his hand." In this private room, there are so many sons and daughters, and this pull is like announcing to everyone, how can it be possible.

"No, sister." Not only did Yun Bao not let go, but she leaned closer to Zhuang Hao, with a cute little daughter on her face, she had already made up her mind, she would no longer be the good daughter of the emperor, she would do it for herself and live.

Xia Zhen looked at Zhuang Hao.

Zhuang Hao apologized.

Xia Zhen smiled slightly.

Zhang Nianmei stood at the back of the door. He also saw the interaction between the princess and Zhuang Hao. For some reason, while happy for his brother, he also felt disappointed for him. Once he took the princess's hand, it meant giving up. From now on, I will only be a rich and idle life in my passionate and struggling life.

In the palace, Emperor Yuantai had already fallen asleep. Outside the door, the guard turned to leave, but was stopped by the servant, "What's going on outside?"

The dark guard raised his eyebrows, "A situation where the Holy One can fall asleep well."

"Dude, let me ask you specifically, or roughly?"

"specific?"

"Yeah." The dark guard nodded: "However, that's not something I worry about."

"Who cares about that?"

"The Queen Mother..."

"What do you mean?" The waiter asked quickly.

"Tomorrow you'll find out."

The next day, the capital was different from the past. Many dignitaries went to restaurants, teahouses... and other places where people gathered with their eyes full of gum. When they met, they asked in a low voice, "How is the Yoko from the north?"

"I had a fight with Yan Cheng."

"Just... between two people... fight..."

"Yeah, otherwise what do you think?"

The person who asked the question blinked. No wonder I waited all night last night and didn't hear the sound of horseshoes on the street. It turned out that it was just a fight between two people. "Then who won?"

"What do you say?"

"Yan Cheng has never lost."

"Haha, that's because he hasn't encountered a cross."

"Northern people are really tough, and the woman will be satisfied if she snatches it."

"Steal a woman?"

"Yeah, don't you know?"

"Who, what kind of woman?"

"I heard that it is the top brand of Yazhuxuan."

"No, it seems to be for a certain princess."

"Princess? Yan Cheng and the princess have not produced five clothes, can they marry each other?"

"This……"

……

Rumors abounded in the capital, and those noble sons who were on the live broadcast scene became popular, and they were stopped when they walked there, "Young master, what happened to the top floor of Yazhuxuan last night?"

……

Before dawn, the eldest princess brought her younger sister back to the palace, and sat down in front of the empress, she had a bitter expression on her face, "The empress..."

The queen already knew what kind of person the second daughter liked, she sighed, a little disappointed, "At least he is under General Xia's subordinate."

"Queen, you also know that he is just an aide, how can he be worthy of my sister."

The queen was stunned and did not reply to the eldest daughter's words. She was thinking, would the emperor agree?
In Xia Zhen's mansion, Zhang Nianmei and others were sitting in Xia Zhen's study. Seeing that no one spoke, he asked, "Little General, the emperor's summons have not arrived yet."

Zhuang Hao recovered from his contemplation, "I hope he didn't summon the little general today."

"Why?" Zhang Nianmei asked.

"The longer the summoning time, the greater the hope that the little general can return to Yizhou." Zhuang Hao replied.

"Well, what are we going to do while we're waiting?"

"Show off."

"Show off?"

"Yeah." Zhuang Hao said, "Nianmei, show off your energy to be a beauty and make the capital restless."

"Then... the little general wants to follow?"

Zhuang Hao looked at Xia Zhen, "It's best to follow."

"Oh!"

Liu Zaili was beaten up by Xia Zhen until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He stayed in the mansion for two days and did not go out. He was sitting in King Ning's study at the moment. Seeing his son's bearish appearance, the old man laughed uncontrollably.

"Father..."

"Okay, don't laugh for my father." Ning Wang smiled, "This Xia Xia really dared to beat you in order to return to Yizhou."

"Father, I intercepted his woman's letter."

"If you cut it off, it's no big deal." As a prince, Prince Ning is also a person who has experienced it. In order to consolidate his position, the emperor would cut everyone's letter, so there is nothing to say.

"No, father, I like that little lady." Liu Zaili lowered his eyes slightly.
