Ye Chao smiled at the queen who ran over with a reproachful look on her face and said, "Aunt Xia, nothing happened."
After saying that, he also touched the head of the sixth prince, the child just now.
The Sixth Prince was still in a daze at this time, because he had never seen anyone with such an unusual temperament in the palace, and listening to his mother's words, he thought that this was the Second Prince who had been accepted as his disciple by the Master since he was born.
Brother, but I bumped into him, but he seemed so gentle.
"Second brother, Amber was very offensive just now, please forgive me."
Ye Chao smiled again and touched the head of the sixth prince, then followed his mother and queen to the edge of the small pond.
When the lotus flowers are in full bloom on the small pond, a refreshing fragrance can't help but flow into the mouth and nose along with the breeze coming from the pond. Next to it are two tall and leafy locust trees, which provide a cool shade.
to them.
Under the shade of the tree, there was a large mahogany table carved with phoenix patterns. A man and a woman were already sitting on one side of the table. The man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looked quite elegant, but he was not in a good mood.
Shi Zheng had a sullen face.
The woman's facial features are exquisite, her long black and smooth hair is tied into an elegant high bun, and she is paired with a lavender fairy skirt with wide sleeves, making her look both dignified and elegant.
The young man's eyes showed something extraordinary after seeing Ye Chao. First of all, Ye Chao's appearance can make people shine, and secondly because of his identity, and because of some stories about his early deeds that came back from Qinghe County a few years ago.
, even more so.
The woman thought of the dispute she had had with him in the palace ten years ago. Now that they were adults, she couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time.
However, this emotion only lasted for a moment, and she pulled the young man beside her to salute Concubine De.
"I've met Aunt De Fei."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Chao again, smiled gently and said, "I wonder if I should be called second brother, or senior uncle?"
Li Yu's words seemed rude, but they were talking about an experience that the two had when they were young and ignorant. Under normal circumstances, it would undoubtedly bring them closer to each other, and also let the queen on the side know that he and
This person's relationship is also good.
But Ye Chao knew that his cheap princess sister wanted to compete with the queen for power after she came back from the Golden Court. He was too lazy to get involved in this kind of thing, so he smiled slightly and said: "Since today is a family banquet, then the second brother
."
After saying that, they all took their seats. After chatting leisurely for a while, a voice like a duck's voice came from outside the Queen's courtyard.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Soon, Emperor Tang, who was wearing a light yellow dragon robe, appeared beside the shade of the tree. Several people stood up and saluted. Of course, Ye Chao's salute was still the academy's salute. Emperor Tang's expression when he looked at Ye Chao was still full of complexity.
There are many rules in the palace, but there are not many rules at the family banquet. Say what you need to say and smile when you need to.
The empress and Li Yu were the ones who talked the most, and the sixth prince Hu Hu was the one who laughed the most.
Soon, the family banquet organized by the emperor to ease the conflict between the princess and the queen came to an end, but the conflict between the two could not be alleviated by a family banquet, so as soon as the family banquet ended, the princess took
Li Hunyuan stood up and left.
Seeing the princess leaving, Concubine De also wanted to resign. She glanced at Ye Chao, stood up and bowed again, saying: "Your Majesty, since the family banquet is over, and I happen to have something to do in Qingyou Palace,
So I took my leave with Chao'er first."
The emperor nodded, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and said, "Concubine De, please go back first. Chao'er will stay here. I have something to explain to him."
Ye Chao and his wife nodded, watched her leave, and then looked at Emperor Tang in confusion.
Emperor Tang glanced at the queen, and then the queen pulled the sixth prince Hu Bo out of the shade of the tree.
"I need you to do me a favor."
"You have so many experts around you, and this is Chang'an City, can you use me?"
Emperor Tang was not angry because of Ye Chao's evasion, but continued gently: "This matter was originally going to trouble Master Yan Se, but an important Talisman master in Xiling died in Daze in the early years. Now they
We need to repair the temple formation, so Master Yanse was recalled a few days ago."
Because he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, because of the relationship between the Tang State and the academy, and because of his relationship with the Ye Dynasty, the academy's back mountain did not hide from him some things that happened in Daze ten years ago.
And Ye Chao also guessed the meaning of Tang Huang's words. Since the cause of this matter is you, then you should accept the consequences no matter what.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Help me protect myself."
Ye Chao asked: "Who is it?"
"Towards the little tree."
Only then did Ye Chao remember that the princess had returned to the country, and the admission test for the academy was about to begin. The Weicheng boy with the black maid should also be here, and the battle that took place on Heng Er Street in Chunfeng Pavilion in the east city of Chang'an City was about to begin.
.
"good."
Tang Huang took out a fold from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Chao, then looked at a small lotus that had just broken out of the mud and bloomed.
…
…
With the arrival of dark night, a rain also followed, the scorching heat of Chang'an City was driven away, and the cool wind carrying the rain wandered freely through the streets of Chang'an City.
A young man holding an oil-paper umbrella walked slowly along Lin 47 Lane. When he reached a lit calligraphy and painting shop, he stopped and met a young man squatting in front of the painting and calligraphy shop eating noodles.
The conversation started.
The young man is the owner of all the shops in Lin 47 Lane, and the young man is the tenant of this calligraphy and painting shop. However, what he said did not cater to the young man, but was in conflict with him.
After a long time, the young man said: "I need someone by my side."
The young man asked: "What kind of person is he?"
"Quick enough, ruthless enough, brave enough, but I can't blink my eyes when I kill, and I can't let anything fall on me."
The young man thought for a long time and pointed at the rain channel: "Including it?"
"Not included."
"That's pretty simple."
…
…
The rain became heavier, and the dense rainwater hit the blue tile eaves and fell from them, forming an uninterrupted water curtain between the bluestone floor.
The young man carried a knife, a boxwood bow, a quiver, and a black mask commonly used by warriors of the Yuelun Kingdom. He held an umbrella for the young man and walked towards the Spring Breeze Pavilion.
A dark-faced little maid was holding her chin in her hands in the kitchen of Lao Bi Zhai, looking at the flames burning under the stove, muttering from time to time: "The young master must come back safely, the young master must come back safely."
On the roof of a tall building in the northeast of Chunfeng Pavilion, there was a young man in white. The manic rain made his hair and clothes wet, but he acted as if he hadn't heard anything and kept pouring water into his upturned mouth.
I drank the fine wine collected in the palace and looked at Chunfeng Pavilion and Tingyu Pavilion with an expectant look in my eyes. There will be a good show there soon.
