Chapter 446 The emperor’s brother is here, I’m happy
When the other concubines in the palace heard the news, they felt helpless in addition to regret.
It's not that they don't want to compete for favor at this time, it's just that they have been tired all the way and have no capital to compete for favor.
Even if you are not convinced, you can only endure it.
Halinda naturally didn't care who Xiao Xiguang favored, but she promised Lin Zhaozhao when she left the palace.
I will help her keep an eye on Xu Yingying's movements, and then get the news.
Without saying anything, he sent someone to deliver a message to Lin Zhaozhao.
Everything that needs to be done is done, and it can be regarded as giving Lin Zhaozhao an explanation.
For three days in a row, Xiao Xiguang stayed in the room with Xu Yingying.
The eunuchs guarding the outside never left, and no one came in.
Only the serving ladies knew how much water was given.
But who does the emperor want to favor and how does he go about it?
It's not like they, the slaves, can interfere.
In the absence of the regent, no one can control the emperor.
It wasn't until the third night that Harinda couldn't bear it anymore.
He fought off a few eunuchs outside and kicked open the door.
The aroma of incense in the room made her frown in disgust.
The two of them were vaguely visible hugging each other behind the screen, but she didn't come forward.
He held the whip directly and said at the door.
"The emperor said he would take me hunting to celebrate my birthday. Could it be that he wanted me to watch you hanging out with his concubines to celebrate?"
Xiao Xiguang was a little embarrassed when he was bumped into by Halinda.
Fortunately, Xu Yingying is calm.
He got up and put on his clothes, then waited for Xiao Xiguang to get up.
"The Emperor and Princess Halinda had something to say, so I will leave first."
Xu Yingying walked to the door and looked at the person outside who was knocked to the ground by Halinda.
He smiled slightly and patted Halinda on the shoulder.
"The princess is still too young and has a hot temper.
You need to think carefully before doing this in the future.
It is magnanimous of the Emperor not to investigate.
If the pedantic ministers in the court were to see him, they would definitely embarrass the emperor.
Just think it’s for the emperor’s sake and ask the princess to restrain her temper.”
Listening to Xu Yingying's words, Xiao Xiguang was deeply moved.
"Therefore, Princess Halinda should spend more time with Concubine Xian in the future.
Concubine Xian, you are indeed very fond of me."
Halinda frowned as she looked at Xiao Xiguang's affectionate look.
"Concubine Xian has won the emperor's heart, but the emperor has left her aside for so long?
Before Concubine Xian took the initiative to climb into the emperor's bed this time, did the emperor still remember Concubine Xian?"
These straightforward words made Xu Yingying and Xiao Xi feel a little unsightly.
Xu Yingying was favored just now, so naturally she would not care about this with Halinda.
Quan pretended not to hear anything, bowed to Xiao Xiguang and turned to leave.
I secretly thought in my heart that if this wild woman enters the palace in the future, there are many ways to deal with her.
Xiao Xiguang looked very embarrassed, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
"Princess Halinda is worried that I have forgotten your birthday? How could that be?
I know, it's tomorrow.
I have ordered everyone to be ready, and I heard that the Mongolian envoys will also arrive tomorrow."
Halinda came here to ask about this, and she finally smiled after hearing this.
"That's good, tomorrow is my princess's birthday.
It is also my princess’s first birthday after leaving the grassland, so the emperor must allow me to enjoy it to the fullest.”
Xiao Xiguang naturally agreed and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Halinda.
But she didn't expect that she hadn't even gotten close to Harinda yet.
Halinda waved her hand, and the cowhide whip fell at Xiao Xiguang's feet.
There was a deep whip mark on the threshold, and she curled her lips and sneered.
"Your Majesty, my brother is coming tomorrow too.
Please restrain yourself, after all, he is not a good-tempered person..."
With these words, Harinda turned and left.
Xiao Xiguang gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly behind his back.
Tomorrow, just wait until tomorrow.
——————————
Xiao Xiguang indeed made great efforts to win over the Mongols.
Early the next morning, the palace was decorated with lanterns and colors.
Theater troupes and jugglers all entered the palace.
The stage was set up early, and there was singing and acting, which was very lively.
This calls out to those concubines who cannot leave the palace on weekdays.
But Halinda was not interested at all.
Since early in the morning, she had been watching the movement down the mountain from the pavilion outside the palace.
When she saw a group of people and horses slowly going up the mountain, she mounted a fast horse and galloped away like an arrow.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, we happened to bump into Xiao Jingze and his party who were preparing to go up the mountain.
Xiao Jingze wore silver armor and black clothes, with a cold expression.
You can see it at a glance.
Following closely behind were the envoys from the Mongolian people.
Among them was Halinda's royal brother.
Halinda rode forward and looked at Xiao Jingze first.
I just felt that after not seeing him for a while, his weathered face became even more handsome.
Compared with the emperor who was drained by wine and sex, he was many times more heroic.
Just looking at it made her blush.
But Xiao Jingze didn't even look at her from beginning to end, and rode straight ahead.
Halinda bit her lip and wanted to catch up.
But seeing his royal brother right in front, he still endured it.
"Brother Emperor, Halinda misses you so much.
Why are you so slow? Could it be that your riding skills have deteriorated?
Hum, I am not in the Mongolian ethnic group.
Are you lazy again? Now I'm afraid you can't even compare to my riding skills."
When Gersl saw Halinda, he laughed and opened his arms.
"My beloved prairie pearl, the only moon, Princess Halinda.
Come quickly and ask Brother Huang to take a look. The sun and moon in this capital are not as bright as those of the Mongols.
My pearl seems no longer as bright as before."
Halinda's eyes felt a little hot, and only now did she feel the longing for being far away from the Mongolian people.
Not caring so much, he rushed forward and threw himself into Geser's arms.
"Yes, the sky in the capital is not as blue as the grassland.
The grass is not as green as the prairie, and even the wine you drink is not as strong as the prairie.
Brother Emperor, Harinda misses you, the Emperor, and our grassland."
Gersl touched Halinda's head and sighed.
"My pearl, if you don't want to stay in the capital.
Then, come back to the grassland with me!
As long as my father and brother are here, you will always be the moon that never sets on the grassland..."
Halinda raised her head, looked at Gersl, and quickly shook her head.
"No, brother emperor.
Harinda found her sun in the capital and wanted to stay with him.
When he is willing to go back to the grassland with Halinda in the future, Halinda will go back."
Speaking of this, Harinda couldn't help but think of Xiao Jingze returning to the grassland with her.
With such a handsome appearance and such a strong body, everyone will definitely envy her.
Gersl saw Halinda's little thoughts and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha, my pearl has a sweetheart?
Could it be that the emperor of the prosperous dynasty was so outstanding? He actually captured the heart of our pearl so quickly?
Gee, then I really can’t wait to see him.”
As soon as Halinda heard this, she knew that her royal brother had misunderstood, and she frowned displeased.
