Yuan Yuan was talking to the prince and princess when she suddenly heard someone calling her name on the side corridor, and the name was "Yuan Yuan", so she knew who was coming.
"Chai Yan..."
Yuan Yuan felt happy and immediately turned to look at the corridor. At this time, Chai Zheng was waving and running towards her. Yuan Yuan's face immediately had a happy smile.
The Crown Princess saw everything in her eyes, and quietly leaned towards her husband, and whispered: "Your Highness, this is probably the first time that Sister You'er smiles so happily..."
Liu Lang nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the first time I have seen..."
While he was talking, Chai Yan trotted all the way to the outside of the pavilion, and Yuan had already stood up to greet him.
"Yuan, if I had known you were here, I should have come earlier..."
Chai Yan was so happy to see Yuan Yuan that he took Yuan Yuan's hand as soon as he came in. He even forgot about greeting the prince and princess.
Being held in front of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, Yuan Yuan's face instantly turned red. She quickly withdrew her hand and whispered: "What are you doing? Your Highness and the Crown Princess are still here!"
Only then did Chai Yan come to his senses, and he quickly bowed to the two of them and bowed his hands in greeting, his tone full of excitement.
Liu Lang smiled and said to Chai Yan: "The men in Chai County are all our own people, so there is no need to be polite. Just sit down..."
Chai Yan thanked him immediately and came to the table with Yuan and sat down.
After Liu Lang glanced at Zhao Li, he said to Chai Yan: "Mr. Chaixian County, my beloved concubine said that more people would make it fun and lively to appreciate the plum blossoms, so I took it upon myself to pick up my adopted sister. You can't blame me, right?"
?”
Chai Yan was happy when he heard this, pointed at himself and said: "Your Highness, look at my face, it's too late to be happy... How can I blame you?"
Liu Lang was infected by the joyful atmosphere, and he and Zhao Li started to smile together.
With the addition of Chai Yan, Yuanyuan immediately felt much more relaxed and comfortable, because as long as he was around, there would be no shortage of topics to talk about.
When Chai Yan didn't come just now, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had been asking questions. When she came to answer, the scene and atmosphere were very reserved.
After talking for a while, Liu Lang looked at the flower scene around him and asked: "Mr. Chai County, tell me, what do you think of the plum blossoms blooming here?"
Chai Yan immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "One word, beautiful! Two words, so beautiful! Three words, so beautiful!"
Zhao Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Liu Lang frowned while laughing, shook his head slightly and said, "Are you so proud of me? I'm so proud!"
"High praise?" Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, I don't read much, so I can't learn to write poetry..."
Liu Lang's face tensed up, and he frowned and said, "I didn't ask you to compose a poem on the spot! Even if you really can't compose it, just read other people's poems. What I want is just for the occasion! That's all the praise you just gave me.
, too boring..."
Chai Yan immediately complained in his heart: Boring? Boring, you still laugh?
In fact, Chai Yan misunderstood what Liu Lang meant. When Liu Lang said boring, he meant that it was not elegant.
Appreciating plum blossoms, chanting them, reciting poems and composing poems is a kind of elegant pleasure!
"Your Highness, do you really want to read a poem?" Chai Yan looked confused and said weakly: "Can I sing a song?"
Liu Lang rejected it at once: "No! Just recite poems. I don't believe it. There are so many poems praising plum blossoms, but you can't even recite a sentence?"
"Ah?" Chai Yan's expression suddenly fell, and he looked at the Crown Princess as if asking for help.
Zhao Li shook his head and said: "Mr. Chaixian County, it's useless for you to look at me. I think the same as His Highness. You should know a few lines of poems about plum blossoms."
Chai Yan had no choice but to rack his brains and think.
After a while, Yuanyuan saw that Chai Yan hadn't figured it out yet, so he begged for him: "Your Highness, please don't make it difficult for him. He is really not good at reciting poems, so why don't we let him sing?"
......."
Chai Yan pretended to be displeased and raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you mean no? I am a grown man, can I say no casually?"
After speaking, Chai Yan emphasized: "I can do it!"
"Oh?" Liu Lang became interested immediately and answered: "Since you are good at it, you should read a song and listen to it..."
"One piece?" Chai Yan was startled and quickly said: "Your Highness, we are all so familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so strict. Can you just say...?"
As he spoke, Chai Yan closed one eye and raised a finger, looking funny and funny.
Zhao Li covered her mouth and chuckled, looked at Liu Lang and said: "Your Highness, how about just one sentence? Look at how worried he is, haha..."
Liu Lang shook his head helplessly, waved his hands and said: "That's all, just one sentence... But, the ugly words are ahead, you don't want to read nonsense poems, otherwise I will punish you severely!"
"No, no, I promise, it's definitely not a limerick! It's absolutely reliable!" Chai Yan said quickly.
Liu Lang urged: "Stop talking nonsense and read quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people's eyes were all focused on Chai Yan. Today they wanted to hear what good verses he could read.
Chai Yan simply stood up, cleared his throat deliberately, put his hands behind his hands and raised his head and said: "Bao..."
"....Brother Prince!"
Just as Chai Yan said a word, a young female voice interrupted him from the veranda.
Chai Yan hurriedly looked back. He recognized this voice. Who else could it be if it wasn't Princess Funing?
As soon as Liu Lang saw Funing, he asked: "Hey, is Funing here?"
Princess Funing, accompanied by Pei Yang, was happily walking to the Octagonal Pavilion. As she walked, she asked: "Mr. Chai County, aren't you a crime solver? When will you be able to compose poetry?"
In fact, Princess Funing deliberately interrupted Chai Yan with her voice just now. She wanted Chai Yan to read it again after she was present.
When Princess Funing came to the pavilion, Chai Yan saluted her: "I have met Her Royal Highness."
Yuan Yuan followed suit and said politely: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Yuan is the prince's adopted sister, but Funing is the prince's biological sister. The status of the two is definitely different whether they are related by blood or not.
"No gifts for all..."
Then, Princess Funing said: "I have long heard that the crown prince has adopted a new adopted sister, who is our lucky star. She must be the one in front of you."
Liu Lang nodded and said: "Exactly, she is the eldest daughter of the high priest of Jimo, Jimo You, and she is the twin sister of Jimo Qiao."
Fu Ning exclaimed when he saw Yu Yuan: "Wow! Your eyes are blue, so special..."
Yuan didn't know how to reply verbally, so he simply didn't speak and just nodded politely.
Liu Lang waved to Funing to sit next to him and asked: "Fu Ning, are you willing to come and visit the emperor?"
Princess Funing pouted and said with an aggrieved expression: "Brother Prince, you have misunderstood Funing. In fact, Funing has wanted to come for a long time, but the emperor and the queen said that it was dangerous outside, and they would not let Funing leave the palace until
I just agreed to Funing yesterday."
Liu Lang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, brother Huang doesn't mean to blame you... You came just in time, come and enjoy the plum blossoms with us."
