The prince's personal bodyguard

Lin Wan'er didn't expect that the other party would embarrass her, and her fair and handsome face turned red.

Usually, she was spoiled at home. When she was out, who wouldn't give face to Lord Lin? She was flattered like a star, and no one dared to lose face in front of her. She felt very embarrassed at the moment.

"Look at what the Marquis is saying. Wan'er is young and has no intention of offending the Marquis. By the way, some goldfish were newly brought into the mansion the day before yesterday. They are very rare. Would you like the princess and I to go and take a look?" Madam Lin quickly covered up for Lin Wan'er and changed the subject.

Bai Xinyin was not an aggressive person. She looked at the princess, who nodded at her. Then everyone went to the pond to admire the fish.

In ancient times, wealthy families all liked to raise fish. First, it was auspicious, implying abundance every year. Second, goldfish could be used to test whether the water was poisonous. From ancient times to the present, water sources have always been of great importance. If someone poisoned the water, it would easily lead to heavy casualties, so this method was devised. In addition, raising goldfish in the water when it is hot can also prevent the breeding of mosquitoes.

There are many water features in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The ancients were very particular about Feng Shui. They believed that where there is water there is vitality, mountains and rivers bring wealth and prosperity, and flowing water is the soul of the courtyard. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion is ingeniously designed and beautiful.

Therefore, goldfish are raised in many places with water. There are dragon-eye, egg-shaped phoenix, fluffy ball, dragon-eye ball, red head, tiger head, red hat, toad head, sky-gazing... in different colors, swimming around in the green water, very comfortable.

Because the prime minister's mansion was very large, there were many places to watch fish, and as they walked, Bai Xinyin fell behind.

Bai Xinyin likes to watch lionhead goldfish. They have short and strong bodies, and a particularly developed hypertrophic tumor on their heads, which extends from the top of the head to the cheeks. The eyes and mouth are sunken in the flesh, making them look like a majestic lion. They are strong and beautiful, chubby and very cute.

There were so many of them in the pond in front of him, Bai Xinyin was delighted and made a face at the little fish.

"Puff" a stone fell into the water, splashing Bai Xinyin's face with cool water.

"Hi, we meet again, Ayin!" An excited voice sounded. I looked up and saw an evil and handsome face with a silver earring hanging from his left ear.

"Dugu Feng? Why are you here?" Bai Xinyin looked behind Dugu Feng, where Prime Minister Lin and some officials were accompanying him, and immediately understood.

Yes, the King of Xiongnu came to Zhao State before the Qianqiu Festival, one to promote various exchanges, and the other to form a marriage alliance.

After the Xiongnu was defeated by the State of Zhao, they presented a petition to the Emperor of Zhao expressing their willingness to be his vassal. Relevant ministers discussed and decided to treat him as a state guest. In order to win over the hearts of the people, they ranked him before the other princes, did not treat him as a vassal, and gave him the title of Great Chanyu.

So when the Xiongnu king Dugu Feng came to the court, he was only referred to as a vassal when he was introduced, not by name. The emperor hosted a banquet for him in Jianzhang Palace the day before yesterday, and invited him to stay in Kyoto for a while and make plans after the Qianqiu Festival.

I guess it was Minister Lin who invited them here today. One is to welcome the old prince, and the other is to contact the officials and make preparations for the Qianqiu Festival.

"Greetings, the Great Chanyu." Bai Xinyin bowed to Dugu Feng.

"No need to be polite." Dugu Feng walked over with a smile.

"I missed you so much after we parted that day. I didn't expect to meet you here. It shows that our fate is really deep." Dugu Feng stood in front of Bai Xinyin and confided. In front of so many princes and ministers, his cunning eyes flickered. I wonder what he was planning?

"Saving General Huyan is a doctor's duty and also fate. There is no need for you to worry about it, Great Chanyu." Don't talk to me about those unnecessary things. We are not familiar with each other. Who is destined to be with you? I am just helping you save people.

Everyone understood immediately, it turned out that it was the Marquis of Dongcheng who saved General Huyan. At this time, General Huyan also came over to greet him: "Thank you, Marquis, for saving my life that day!"

"General Huyan is too polite. It's only right."

"Brother, who are you destined to be with?" a voice like a silver bell came, and a girl came over with the voice.

She has wheat-colored skin, a high nose bridge, deep eyes, an amber pendant between her eyebrows, sparkling silver earrings, a light blue robe, a dark blue belt that outlines her graceful figure, and white boots on her feet. She is like a wild flower on the grassland, attracting everyone's attention.

"Greetings, Princess Jia Lan!" Many ministers bowed to the girl. Bai Xinyin thought that the incident in the hotel where the waiter reported Dugu Feng that day should be related to this girl, so she bowed as well.

"Is this the miracle doctor who saved General Huyan?" Princess Jia Lan circled around Bai Xinyin, "I like him! He's my man!"

"Stop messing around, Jia Lan." Dugu Feng shouted in a low voice.

At this moment, a servant came to announce: "The prince has arrived!"

"Prince Rong is here!"

"The second prince has arrived!"

……

Is it time for lunch, everyone?

The Prime Minister hurried to the gate to greet them, and saw the Crown Prince Zhao Hongchen, the Second Prince Zhao Hongkang, and Prince Rong coming in one after another. Prince Rong was followed by the showy young man Simo Chen and Feng Jiu.

Bai Xinyin saw Mu Yunxiao smiling at him, and Mu Yuanxiao also saw her and walked towards her.

At this moment, Bai Xinyin felt her shoulders sink. It turned out that Ah Dai had followed her.

Everyone sat down in their respective seats. Prime Minister Lin said, "Thank you all for coming today. I am deeply honored by your presence. I am very worried that I have not taken good care of you. Next, I will arrange some programs for you to enjoy and entertain. Everyone, drink to your heart's content and don't leave until you are drunk."

"Hello!"

"May you be happy and prosperous!"

"Have a baby soon!"

What does this have to do with anything?

I only heard some discordant sounds of congratulations coming from somewhere. It turned out to be Ah Dai who flew to the corner of the pavilion and shouted happily to everyone.

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

The prime minister was embarrassed, but as someone who had seen big occasions before, he was able to keep his composure and smiled: "It is indeed an auspicious sound, let's just take it as a joke."

The male and female guests sat separately. The prince sat at the same table with Dugu Feng, and Bai Xinyin sat at the same table with Mu Yunxiao.

At this time, Dugu Feng came over and said, "I, the Chanyu, still have some medical matters to consult with the Marquis of Dongcheng. I wonder if the Marquis would be so kind as to sit at the same table with me."

"Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. If you have any questions, please ask me after dinner!" Before Bai Xinyin could answer, Mu Yunxiao had already blocked her answer.

"Oh? I'm asking about the Marquis. Can the Prince be a little more lenient?" Dugu Feng had no intention of backing down.

"Everyone in Kyoto knows that he is my favorite little guard. His affairs are my affairs." After saying this, he smiled dotingly at Bai Xinyin.

Bai Xinyin: It’s so bright!

Si Mochen: I can’t stand it!

Fengjiu: So corny!

Ah Dai: Pretentious!

"Is Your Majesty a little too overbearing?" Dugu Feng sneered.

"Ah Si just likes my domineering nature!" After saying that, he pulled Bai Xinyin to sit on his lap.

"What are you doing? So many people?" Bai Xinyin whispered in Mu Yunxiao's ear. From the outside, one would think that the two of them were very intimate!

Si Mochen: So disgusting!

Fengjiu: So disgusting!

Ah Dai: It’s so disgusting!

Seeing this, Dugu Feng did not insist too much: "Then I will visit the Marquis some other day." He flicked his sleeves and returned to his original seat and sat down.

Bai Xinyin also quickly got off Mu Yunxiao and sat in her seat.

As soon as the food and wine came, the wide venue was immediately filled with singing and dancing, and the show was truly magnificent. It must be said that the prime minister had invited a wonderful performance team.

Bai Xinyin watched with great interest. Once the dance was over, it was still memorable.

As I was enjoying the music, I heard a sound of guqin coming from the pavilion, which made my heart palpitate, as if the strings in my heart were being plucked. The flowing notes were like a gurgling stream, like elves strung together into a beaded curtain, flowing lightly in my life.
