Royal maid

022 The arrival of the prince

As soon as He Xuan came to the gate of Xiantingju, she had time to disemblegate. Through the open door, she saw Zuo Liang and Liao Yong, together with Yu Mo and Xiaodouzi. The four people were rotating in different trajectories in the gate.

He Xuan got off her horse at the door and led the horse to look at their entangled faces. She couldn't help laughing and asked loudly, "What are you... playing?"

"Oh, my son, you are back. This is going to make us so anxious."

Little beans have extremely smart ears and fast legs and feet. Hearing He Xuan's voice, she didn't say a word. She hurried over, took the reins in her hand, handed it to the doorkeeper, pulled He Xuan, and welcomed her into the door.

As soon as several other people saw He Xuan come back, they also came over. Liao Yong and Zuo Liang looked at each other and didn't say anything.

He Xuan was about to ask them what was going on, but Liao Yong suddenly took her hand and pulled her straight to the backyard. Zuo Liang also followed closely. It was not until he came to the pavilion by the lake that Liao Yong let go of the hand he had been holding just now.

"Yumo, you and Xiaodouzi are guarding for me. Without my greeting, no one is allowed to come to disturb me." Liao Yong said seriously to Yumo and Xiaodouzi, who had been following them.

The two little men nodded and didn't say much. They walked one or two hundred steps along the corridor of the pavilion and stood at the entrances at both ends.

"Where have you been? Ziqing said that you handed in the paper early in the morning, and it has been almost two hours. He said that there is a place to go. Where did you go? You are so anxious about us." After Liao Yong saw the little man guarding the entrance and exit, he walked to He Xuan and knocked on her head with the fan in his hand.

He Xuan was knocked by Liao Yong and felt a little painful. She pouted, frowned and rubbed the place where he hurt. Looking at Liao Yong and didn't say anything, she thought to herself: Is this rich man sick, and I don't know why they like to take a fan in such a cold season.

Since Liao Yong took He Xuan's hand just now, Zuo Liang felt a little jealous. Now, looking at the situation of the two of them, Zuo Liang thinks that they are very... intimate!

However, at present, we still can't take care of these. Hearing Liao Yong ask He Xuan just now, Zuo Liang also said, "Yes. Where the hell have you been? Knowing that something happened in today's big exam, how dare you run around? You haven't seen anyone when I come back. You've found all the places you can find!"

"Oh! I didn't tell you when I left the tribute yard. I have a place to go. I went to Xishan."

He Xuan looked at the two people with a nervous look and said with a faint smile, but thought to herself: It seems that you are really dating me with your heart. That's good, and it's not in vain that I suffered those grievances last night. Thinking of this, she glanced at Liao Yong.

"What do you do when you run so far to Xishan in this season?" Liao Yong was full of confidence and continued to ask questions, but suddenly saw He Xuan focusing her eyes on herself, and there seemed to be some deep resentment in her eyes. Knowing that He Xuan remembered what happened last night again, she suddenly lost her momentum.

Before He Xuan answered, she suddenly heard Yu Mo shouting from afar: "Young master, I'm here."

"Whoever it is, it's all blocked by me. I don't see anyone today."

"Brother Lifan has such a big temper that can't even be rewarded with my thin face?" At this time, a not loud voice took advantage of the sound of water to reach the pavilion.

Hearing this voice, several people turned their eyes to the source of the sound. Sure enough, the one who called himself "I King" was Han Yunzhen, the king of Nanxian.

The three people hurriedly knelt down to salute Yunzhen. Han Yunzhen was also rude. He no longer waited for anyone to let him leave his relatives at the entrance. From then, he went straight to the gazebo, found a round stool with thick cushions and sat down, and then said with a smile, "Get up. I mainly came to see He Xiandi today. In addition, there are a few more words to ask.

Listen to his words, several people got up.

"Today, I miss He Xiandi. I thought that I should definitely go home at this time, so I came here to see how his answer is today?" The wise king asked.

"It's okay. Prince Lao is thinking about it. Last time I didn't know the identity of the prince, and there was a lot of rudeness. I hope the prince will forgive me. He Xuan said with an arch of her hand.

"It's better to be the same as before. There is no shortage of flattery around me. If you become like this, then I really have to think about what crime I have done for you. King Xian said with a smile, "You all sit down. I'm standing with you, and I have to look up at you. I'm not feeling well.

The three thank-you seats were also at the bottom, slightly set aside, and sat down.

"Do you like the folding fan sent by his men to his brother that day?" The wise king asked.

"Speaking of that, yesterday Xiaomin still thought about how to return it to the prince." He Xuan replied.

"Oh? What, don't you like it? That fan was only casually prepared by the servants that day, and no wonder he had to enter the eyes of the virtuous brother! I'll give you another day, that one, or for your own use, and the wise brother will be fine.

"Your Majesty, you are joking. That object is originally a thing of the heavenly family. Whether it is materials, work, mounting, or even painting, calligraphy are excellent. Prince Meng fell in love, but this object is too expensive. Xiaomin is really useless and has some difficulties in sleeping and eating.

After hearing He Xuan's words, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong were relieved and thought: Fortunately, this He Xuan is not a dragon climbing person. Otherwise, I'm afraid that one day we will be summoned by this virtuous king. At that time, we want more people, but we are just powerless.

"It would be better if it was like this. Just now, I also said that Xiao Wang came today and wanted to ask Xiandi about something. In this way, you won't be a meritorious person.

Speaking of this, the virtuous king turned his words around and went to the theme of today.

"I don't know what the prince wants to know?" He Xuan asked

"Can Brother Xian go to Xishan today?" The wise king asked.

Zuo Liang and Liao Yong looked at the Wise King unexpectedly and then at He Xuan.

He Xuan looked at Zuo Liang and Liao Yong, looked at the Wise King again, and then said with a smile, "Yes. I just came back from Xishan. Then, he said to the two princes, "When the Taoist priest sent the title that day, the prince was also there."

Zuo Liang and Liao Yong nodded before they understood why the virtuous king also knew that He Xuan was going to Xishan.

"Have you met anyone?" The wise king asked again.

After listening to this sentence, He Xuan thought of the two people who entered the imperial city. She smiled, thought for a moment and then said, "After the trial, the villain went straight to Xishan, but no one was seen along the way. The Taoist temple is already abandoned, and there is no one in the view below, but it is full of desolation. Thinking about it, it was just the man who said some nonsense, but he believed him a little because he was too honest. I ran this trip in vain.

"Oh." After listening to He Xuan's answer, Xian Wang also nodded thoughtfully.

Liao Yong heard this, but picked the corners of his mouth and smiled. Zuo Liang was a little puzzled. Liao Yong shook his head slightly, and Zuo Liang didn't ask much.

At this time, Lord Xian said again, "What are the plans for the wise brother in the days before the list is released?"

"This..."

Before He Xuan could speak, Zuo Liang said, "I'm afraid that He Xiandi won't be idle these days."

"Oh? How to say this?" The wise king asked.

"I think Your Highness should also know that something unexpected happened in this big deal." Zuo Liang said.

"Oh. I heard it a little."

"Therefore, the reference documents must be subject to evidence one by one..."

The wise king nodded and said, "So it is. Well, after the list is released, can you find a time to get together at Xiao Wang She?

He Xuan smiled and said, "The prince is very affectionate, and the villain dares not refuse. However, Xiaomin comes from a humble background and is afraid that he will not be polite. Since the prince also has a friendship with the two princes, it is better for us to get together another day. The two princes came from a famous family, so that they sometimes made some suggestions to Xiaomin, so that Xiaomin would not be reckless and behave improperly for a while, and bump into the prince.

"Okay, that's a deal."

With that, the virtuous king stood up and said, "It's not early. In fact, I still have something to do, so I won't stay. Now you can put away the fans and worthless gadgets. Don't worry about them. I don't want my friendship with you to be so shallow.

Hearing this, He Xuan smiled and said, "Didn't the ancients say that a gentleman's friendship is as light as water? I would like to make such a light and clear friendship with the prince.

"Okay, your friend, I will hand it over." King Xian said with a smile.

"If you come here, why don't you go after dinner?" Liao Yong said.

"No. It's not too early to see the time. In the evening, I have to go to the palace to say hello to the empress dowager, and it has already agreed that I will accompany the empress dowager to dinner today. Thank you for your good intentions.

He Xuan, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong also stood up and got up to see off the wise king.

After the virtuous king left, Liao Yong gently knocked on He Xuan's head with a fan bone and said with a smile, "I didn't see anyone in the Taoist temple. Who did you see outside the Taoist temple?"

"Liao Yong is really smart..." He Xuan said with a smile, "But can you stop hitting me on the head again!"

"Then you just..."

"Because I followed that man all the way, and finally that man... went to the outer wall of the palace. Besides, I'm going to go again. Some strange voices before I saw the man also made me care a little. He Xuan said.

"Let's go together." Zuo Liang said, and then looked at Liao Yong and said, "Are you going or not?"

"I don't care... But let's go and have a look. I can't rest assured that I, He Xiandi, will walk with such a rude person as you. It's better for me to follow.

Speaking of this, Liao Yong looked at He Xuan with a bad smile.

He Xuan took a teacup and took a sip of tea, but her eyes did not leave Liao Yong's face. She thought to herself: What on earth did he see yesterday? Guess what again? No, if he had known that I was a woman, I'm afraid Zuo Liang would have known it by this time. But looking at Zuo Liang's appearance, he didn't know it at all. Or I just thought too much... This annoying Liao Yong, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd... Of course, maybe he just guessed that I don't mess up first...
