The sixth princess Li Weixuan finally got married.

The day before the wedding, Li Luosu brought Baihu to Baihua Pavilion to find her.

"Little Peony is here, and Xiaobai! Let me rub it!"

Li Weixuan was wearing a wedding dress full of gold silk embroidery, squatting on the ground hugging the white tiger and brushing her fur. The long skirt was spread all over the floor, leaving Li Luosu nowhere to go.

"Get up quickly, or the skirt will be dirty. It was embroidered with great difficulty. Do you really want the sixth brother-in-law to call off the engagement?"

"A Ling wouldn't call off the engagement because of such a trivial matter. If the emperor hadn't said that he must show royal dignity in case I would be bullied, the two of us wouldn't even want to have a wedding."

Li Weixuan got up and kicked away the hem of the skirt in front of her, and walked up to Li Luosu: "Since I'm afraid that my skirt will be dirty and won't let me rub the white tiger, then I can rub you, right? Little Peony, come and let my sister hug you." Hug, you are the softest and cleanest hahaha!"

"Men and women don't know each other! Are you people in the Jianghu so bohemian!"

Li Luosu rolled his eyes straight away, respecting in his heart that Ling Zihui, the young master of Lingxiao Villa who dared to marry his sixth sister, was a reputable man.

The two quarreled for a while, Li Luosu and Li Weixuan were sitting on the porch, not far away, the white tiger rested under a tree with the Taifu's black cat on its head.

"When I saw that cat, I remembered the Dragon Gate Banquet that night ten years ago. You were so brave at that time."

"Hmph, who told you to lie to me that the perverted old master is better-looking than me, if not, would I be able to provoke him?"

Li Weixuan asked him with a smile: "Then do you think Tai Tuo is not good-looking?"

Recalling the scene of drinking with the Taifu a few nights ago, Li Luosu stammered: "It's... no, no, it's not good-looking, he receives so many red notes from female officials every day, and he certainly won't How ugly is it... just, it's still a bit worse than me!"

"Pfft, why didn't I know when the little Mudan, the number one in Rongguo, learned to compliment others in disguise?"

Li Weixuan giggled, which aroused Li Luosu's dissatisfaction and protest.

"No matter what happens to you and Taifu in the future, he will be a very important person in your life. I won't tell you like the eldest sister, but you can't let us lose the chain, this is for you."

She took out two small red talisman packets with a moon pattern and stuffed them into Li Luosu's hands, saying: "One is yours, the other is the Grand Tutor's. Don't look at it now, and open it after I leave the palace."

"what is this?"

"Hey, I went to the temple in the south of the city to ask for it."

Li Luosu curled his lips, feeling that she was doing something messy again, but there was a faint warmth in his heart, so he put the talisman bag in his arms.

Unlike the day Li Motao got married, he didn't cry, but only said goodbye to Li Weixuan with a smile.

"I will come back to see you often when I have time in the future."

"I know, you are married to a famous family, but you should be a heroine who robs the rich and gives to the poor."

Li Luosu waved his hand and watched the wedding procession go away.

From this day on, the Baihua Pavilion in the Rongguo Palace fell silent.

***

Even though the summer days are long, time flies by.

On June 24th, only Li Luosu was with the empress at this year's Lotus Watching Festival palace banquet.There are singing and dancing in the main hall, and officials from various ministries and their families have a banquet with the royal family in the hall.

"Look, queen mother, this is a letter from my sisters."

Li Luosu took out a stack of thick paper and moved it to the queen's side, and the two of them read the letters from the princesses together.

"Seeing that they are doing well, I am relieved. Your Majesty, come and take a look. Qing He and Jasmine are going to give birth soon."

The old emperor looked at a letter from Feng's family and couldn't help nodding: "Very good, very good..."

He raised his wine glass to the hall, and said: "My dear friends, today's palace banquet, everyone is gathered together, and we are as close as a family. I wish you all a smooth and happy family!"

The ministers toasted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

During the banquet, there were constant exchanges of cups and cups, and Li Luosu sneaked away from the empress to Duanmuyao's place. Tu Shenshui saw the intimate laughter of the two of them.

While drinking, he thought of the prince-like man in Xiaoxiangfang.

I don't know how he will spend the lotus watching day...

Xia Jushuang's gorgeous eyebrows appeared in Tu Shenshui's mind, reminding him of the scene in Mixiang Pavilion a few days ago.

"General, if you are looking for me in the future, just come to Mixiang Pavilion directly, and you don't need to bid anymore."

Xia Jushuang was lying on the lap of the sinking water, and the silky hair was wrapped around the fingers of the man who had experienced the wind and sand, and he was playing with the fingers with the hair wrapped around the sinking water, caressing carefully. Those calluses that he had ground while holding the knife.

"Why? Have you stopped opening a cabinet?"

"Yes, it's closed."

Xia Jushuang blinked at him, and said: "I've changed the rules. Opening a pavilion becomes staying in a pavilion, and it's only for you."

Tu Shenshui loosened the hair on his fingers, gently touched his face, and said, "You don't have to do this."

Xia Jushuang smiled, got up and walked to the window, looked at the gurgling river outside, and said to him: "You come here for one person every day, although that person is not me, but even if you are Zhen Guo General, it's still too expensive."

The pavilion fell silent for a while, Tu Shenshui just kept drinking, Xia Jushuang leaned against the window and watched him quietly.

"...You are wrong, I am for you."

Tu Shenshui stood up and walked to the window, pulled Xia Jushuang into her arms, locked his slender waist tightly, then took off a small makeup knife made of thin silver from her body, and stuffed it into the open collar of the person in his arms.

"This is mine, for you."

Tu Shenshui buried his face between Xia Jushuang's snow-white neck, the slightly hot breath and the coldness of the makeup knife made him tremble slightly, because of the tight embrace, the sheath of the makeup knife was full of complicated patterns and hard carvings rubbed against him Xia Jushuang felt some tiny pains on the delicate skin on the chest.

"Han Jian...you hurt me, let go..."

This was the first time that Xia Jushuang didn't call him general, Tu Shenshui was a little obsessed with the atmosphere brought by this sentence, he let go of his arms after a while, and sat back at the table.

That night, he drank a lot of wine and stayed in Xia Jushuang's Mixiang Pavilion for the first time.

The noise at the banquet pulled Tu Shenshui out of his memory, he looked to where the prince was, Duanmuyao was serving Li Luosu food.

He looked away and looked at the old emperor on the throne again, his father's words suddenly rang in his ears.

"Han Jian, if there is no country and monarch to be loyal to, then you must protect your family."

The blood of his compatriots was frozen black in his eyes, while his father's body was as cold as snow.

If the country is broken, where are the people?

He looked at the mighty prince of Rongguo, lowered his eyes, and suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

***

The imperial dining room was extremely busy tonight, the palace servants passing the meals kept coming and going in and out of the dining hall like a stream of water, and the head of the imperial dining room was busy commanding and dispatching, and was in a state of desperation.

"I'll just take you here, and you'll be smart about the rest."

Under the moonlight, a palace servant saluted a small official who hurriedly left, and then continued to walk forward.

"Hey, you, that's talking about you, right! Come here, I'm already nervous, why did I meet such a lazy guy like you... Stop wandering around, and bring the food to the hall!"

The little palace servant who was temporarily captured picked up a plate of dishes and followed the team towards the main hall.

***

Poppy sat in the middle of the second row of the hall, and Du Zhijuan bought him a glass of wine.

"How are the preparations?"

Du Zhijuan whispered respectfully: "Don't worry, everyone has been arranged."

Poppy picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and picked up some vegetables for the lady next to her.

Looking at the lively and cheerful scene in the hall, he smiled softly and said, "I hope everyone can have a good festival tonight."

***

In the palace hall, a song and dance ended, and the dancers swayed and left the stage one after another.The palace people began to serve the officials in order.

The emperor was overjoyed and said to Tu Shenshui: "General Zuo, what do you think of the singing and dancing of the Jiaofang Secretary?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I think it's very good."

"Then why does Aiqing have a heavy face and doesn't look very happy?"

Tu Shenshui cupped his hands, and said: "...Today is the night of the big festival, I just thought of the soldiers stationed at the border. In the past, I spent time with them."

The old emperor clapped his hands and said: "As expected of General Zuo who loves soldiers like his son, I also miss the soldiers who defend the country at the frontier, but now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, Ai Qing doesn't have to worry. By the way, I heard that the sword at the frontier The dance is majestic and magnificent, I wonder if Aiqing can dance this kind of dance?"

"Chen... just a little bit."

"Since that's the case, let's invite Aiqing to dance a song. I've seen Yingying and Yanyan in the Central Plains too much, and let the officials enjoy the scenery of the frontier."

Tu Shenshui was a little hesitant, and he said: "But today is a festive festival, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to dance swords and swords in the hall."

"It's okay, it's okay, I've allowed you to perform, come! Take the sword for General Zuo!"

Hearing this, Li Luosu yelled excitedly at Tu: "Taibao, Taibao, I want to watch the sword dance too, so go ahead!"

The palace man held a sword with a scabbard decorated with gems, and stood respectfully beside Tu Chenshui. He glanced at Li Luosu, picked up the sword and stood in the center of the hall.

The desolate and heroic tune of the frontier fortress sounded, and Tu submerged in the water and danced with his sword drawn. His soft dancing figure, which was different from the dancers, attracted everyone's attention.

The palace servants passing the meal passed behind the officials, and the chief housekeeper next to the throne was changing the dishes for the old emperor. Suddenly, a small palace servant next to him threw away the plate, drew a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed the person on the throne. .

"Father!"

Li Luosu screamed, got up and wanted to rush over, but his clothes were too long and he tripped and fell to the ground, Duanmuyao hurried to help him.

"His Majesty!"

What happened suddenly, all the officials were in a mess in the palace, seeing that the dagger was about to hit the emperor, Tu Shenshui threw the sword in his hand immediately, and it just stabbed into the right shoulder of the little palace servant. The emperor's sleeve was still cut, and blood flowed down his right arm.

"Come on! Catch the assassin, if he wants to live, take him to Dali Temple to wait!"

Mei Shiliang asked the military officer in the palace to arrest him, and at the same time sent someone to find Bai Zhu who was leading the imperial guards to patrol the safety of the palace.

The turmoil in the main hall quickly attracted the attention of the imperial guards, and Bai Zhu rushed to the scene with his people.

"Your Majesty, Bai Zhu, the late arrival of the escort frightened His Majesty, and please forgive me."

The assassin had already been escorted, and the old emperor waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, are you alright? If no one is injured, then today's banquet will come to an end, Bai Aiqing, you have to send someone to arrest you all The officials are all safely escorted back to the mansion, and I will report to me in detail about what happened tonight."

"The minister obeys the order!"

The old emperor left with the help of the palace servants, and Li Luosu and Duanmu Yao hurriedly followed.

The commotion gradually subsided, and only Tu Shenshui was still standing in the hall. Looking at his slightly trembling right hand, he vaguely felt that the figure of the assassin had been seen before.

If it was one step later...

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the thought in his mind again.
