As the sky grew brighter, Xun Yi dragged his tired body back to the Qingsang Nest. The pen "Fun" Pavilion patted www.biquge.info face, used the merit bell to cast a spell to relieve fatigue, and changed into formal clothes and went with the clansmen to greet His Royal Highness the Prince.

Originally, Xun Yi thought that Li Laoqi was coming, and he didn't prepare how to entertain him. But the presence of the prince in person is obviously unusual. There are various political meanings in this, and in the eyes of those old guys, it is clear that the royal family is testing the attitude of the Xun family.

The Xun family could only receive His Royal Highness the prince with a big gift, and Xun Yi, the head of the family, personally welcomed him into the palace.

The palace is a temporary palace built by the Xun family when the emperor went out on patrol in the past. During the Gaozu period, Li Chun and many princes called each other friends, and often went to major families to live in small houses to enhance the relationship between the two families. Many Danshu houses have a palace under royal regulation. This is the emperor's grace and a status symbol.

However, since Zhaozong, he rarely travels out, and at most he goes to the homes of old nobles like the Xun family and the Lu family for two days. In addition, Empress Hyowen's provincial relatives will also live in the Imperial Palace, which is a palace that was truly built in accordance with the royal regulations.

Xun Yi accompanied the prince to the palace.

The prince smiled: "You don't have to be formal, you are still a cousin of the palace." The prince is dignified, his words and deeds have a sense of nobility, and he deliberately uses a cordial attitude to Xun Yi.

From Emperor Chengyuan's side, Emperor Chengyuan called Xun Yu an uncle, and Xun Yuan called each other cousins, aren't the prince and Xun Yi cousins.

However, Xun Yi's attitude was alienated and he refused to show his position at this moment. "Your Majesty is the queen of Mingzong, and the line of King Rui is different after all. Please also ask Your Highness to be cautious. ”

If you should go down to the crown prince, wouldn't you completely stand on the boat of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?

Xun Yi observed the two-week qi number two days ago and saw a little doorway. Two weeks are not the real Lord of Destiny, and in the future, when a hidden dragon is born, the future will be determined. It is precisely because of this that Empress Xiaowen issued a curse to suppress the hidden dragon and protect the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this situation of not seeing the future clearly, the attitude of the Xun family and Xun Yi is biased towards the Northern Zhou, but they can't help each other and must be reserved. After all, the Xun family still has their own plans for an independent portal, and it is impossible to work hard for Li Zhoujiangshan.

The prince looked at Xun Yi's attitude and knew that the Xun family still had plans to bet on both sides. Xun Sheng's family lives in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and it is clear that they are waiting for the Southern Zhou Dynasty to win and pick the fruits of victory.

"Sure enough, these families are the worst enemies of our royal family. ”

But the strength of the family comes from the Gaozu period. Gaozu was born from the grassroots, and only with the help of a group of friends did he rise to the top. Even after ascending the throne, he did not dare and did not want to oppress these friends.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is a kingdom of divine monarchy, and the emperor is known as the "Son of Heaven" and is a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven. But the first generation of family heads of the major families are full of martial arts and mystic arts. If you are really in a hurry, and the family will run away, that is, you will have a complete feud. After all, the Great Zhou Kingdom is only a country in Zhongzhou, one of the eight hundred dynasties. fled to other places, and the whip of the Great Zhou State was beyond the reach.

Therefore, although the imperial power is strong, the families also occupy a certain right to speak. Especially the Xun family, when Gaozu wanted to share the country with Mao, it was not an empty word or a temptation. Back then, compared with Li Chun, many people actually supported Mao Gong more.

It's just that Li Chun has an innate advantage as a descendant of the Emperor of Heaven, and Duke Mao also intends to take the opportunity to steal the national fortune of Li Zhou of the Dragon Clan, so he deliberately supports Li Chun to ascend to the throne.

Over the years, the Li family has become more and more stable. And the Xun family is also constantly restrained, spreading its influence to other countries. As long as the Qingyuan Palace is there, the Xun family will always maintain a confidence. Be able to sit on the fishing platform and laugh and talk about the two-week competition.

The crown prince saw Xun Yi's alienation and pointed to another building complex on the side of the palace.

"Brother Xun, it is inevitable that the palace will be lonely when living in the palace these days. Why don't you stay here with me?"

That building complex is the residence of the Xun family, the main hall where only the prince can live. At present, Xun Yi has no lord, and he can't live here at all, so he is closed as early as the palace.

The meaning of the prince's words is undoubtedly to indicate that if he ascends the throne in the future, he will restore the Duke title of the Xun family.

Xun Yi was noncommittal, and he should not say the words of the prince. Ask the prince to change his clothes in the palace and leave first.

After Xun Yi left, the prince sank his face: "Sure enough, the Xun family is still unwilling to get involved in the battle for royal power?"

According to the status of the Xun family, no matter which side wins the Xun family, it can be stable. And the prince is the prince after all, if Emperor Chengyuan came in person, Xun Yi might be a little respectful, but the prince ......

It's just the current prince, and the prince is the prince after all.

"What do you think of his cultivation?" the prince stepped back and asked the warlock beside him. Each of these princes has a high-ranking person by his side. That warlock has been promoted to the Triple Heaven, condensed the golden pill, and has the art of immortality. pondered for a while and said: "This head of the Xun family does not have any extraordinary power on him, as if he is a mortal. However, thinking about the rumors that he is an innate swordsman, it seems that it is not simple. Moreover, the Xun family also has its own warlocks, so it is inconvenient to investigate. ”

"The Xun family has the Qingyuan Palace, and my Great Zhou Kingdom really doesn't dare to suppress them too much. "The crown prince has mixed feelings, and he is obviously not happy to be such a suppressed monarch.

If he ascends the throne of the main hall, he will revitalize the Great Zhou Dynasty into an imperial dynasty and unify Zhongzhou. I, the Heavenly Emperor and Miao descendant, how can I bow my head to others?

At present, even the Great Zhou Emperor is only comparable to the gods. If the fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are promoted, the emperor can be on an equal footing with the innate gods.

The prince thought about it, changed into his regular clothes and went to the Winter Snow Pavilion.

Winter Snow Pavilion is the banquet place specially prepared by the Xun family for the winter snow banquet, on the side of the plum hall, take the water of the quiet lake as a ditch to draw a ditch, and the Winter Snow Pavilion is in the pool.

Koi fish and green turtles can still be seen in the surrounding water. The pavilion is lit up, and the heads of each family sit according to their positions.

When the prince arrived, everyone got up and bowed, and then invited the prince to sit with Xun Yi.

The prince glanced at the venue, except for many male heads of households, the housewives of each family were not present. She looked at Xun Yi, and Xun Yi said, "You ladies and mothers haven't seen each other for many years, and they are currently reminiscing in the backyard. ”

The prince raised his eyebrows, remembering the queen's instructions. This time, I came to probe the wind and see what happened to Zhao Ying.

"If the Xun family wants to ask the heads of each family to help identify the true and the fake, it is better to take the opportunity to try to identify all four people as fakes. lest he be against me in the day. ”

This dynasty is not without precedent for widowhood. Emperor Yingzong married a widow in his middle age, and was later named a noble concubine, and had great power in the palace. Emperor Mingzong was able to ascend to the throne, and he couldn't do without the help of this noble concubine.

In case Zhao Ying enters the palace and gives birth to a son and a half daughter, hum...... The prince is not willing to be charged with killing his brother in the future.

"Moreover, I believe that Xun Yi will not let his father be cuckolded, right?"

The prince's mind was racing, only to hear a loud bang in the backyard, and another burst of laughter resounded over the old mansion.

"My sister is the fairy of Rui Palace, only because of the cause and effect of Pingxian in the past, so there is this chaos of truth and falsehood. Now that the merits are complete, I am waiting for you to come back in the Heavenly Palace. ”

The people around the prince were shocked, Xun Yi looked surprised and hurriedly went to the back to ask. Soon after, Li Lan came over to report the cause and effect.

Xun Yi asked the housewives to go to the backyard to see Zhao Ying, and by the way, they said something close to themselves to distinguish the truth of the four people. Because Ren Yan helped by the side, she used magic to bewitch the other three, so that the three of them could not answer many questions.

At this moment, the truth and falsehood are self-distinguished, and the housewives understand the truth, so they naturally hug Zhao Ying and detain the other three. At this time, the demon god made a move. He used his magical powers to summon the fog, took away the three fake bodies, erased the memories of the other two, and returned Zhao Ying's heavenly soul to Zhao Ying. And before leaving, he left a paragraph to explain the cause and effect for Zhao Ying.

"Listening to what he said, the reason why the Xun family's housewife fell into the misfortune of truth and falsehood, dare to love her, or the fairy and goddess in the sky?

Escaping in the water may be the relationship between her being the reincarnation of a person from the heavenly realm?

That demon god did not show anything, and he helped Zhao Ying in the end, doubting everyone.

Next, Zhao Ying and the housewives walked into the Winter Snow Pavilion.

Seeing his mother rightfully return to the Xun family, Xun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile on his face, he personally invited Zhao Ying to take a seat.

Eat the plover at the winter snow feast, the plover is a highly poisonous thing, and the toxin is mostly on the shark fin. And shark fin is also the most delicious part of the fish.

In the center of each table is a porcelain urn, which is made of shark fin mixed with 18 kinds of medicinal herbs, which has the function of strengthening the body and repelling cold and replenishing yang. The nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty ate ducks in winter, and what they wanted was this part of the cold qi and the wonderful use of yang qi.

There are 80 tables in total, and each table has a white soup made with a shark's fin and a three-pin dish made with fish. One is fresh fish fillet, the second is milk skewers, and the third is steamed fish balls. These four dishes are the main dishes, but there are also various other dishes that match the winter and snow feast.

Winter snow, plain white color, all dishes at the winter snow banquet are white and clean, the dishes remain plain and white, and the most are decorated with green leaves and red flowers, and they cannot dominate the guests.

The most scenic way to eat the winter snow banquet is to sit in the shed with a stove, lean on the plum blossoms, and watch the goose feathers and snow.

Taste the red plum in the snow scene, and taste the winter wine and fish. This is the most traditional way to eat Da Zhou.

After Xun Yi and others had a banquet, snowflakes began to fall outside unconsciously. With a table of pure and elegant fish feast, it is more elegant.

However, if Meng Han was here, he would definitely scold Xun Yi for being a loser. Eighty fish, each with dozens of taels of silver, plus other side dishes and various traditional Chinese medicines, Lin Lin finally summed up, and this banquet could not be beaten by five thousand taels.

After the banquet, the heads of the families and the people of the Xun family chatted, and Zhao Ying felt something, so she left temporarily under the pretext of changing clothes.

Coming out of the Winter Snow Pavilion, facing the west wind of Suxue, she tightened the leopard fur on her body and came to the Plum Hall not far away.

Many plum trees in the plum hall are about to bloom, and the little red flowers reflect the snow scene. There, a man in a navy blue robe stood.

Zhao Ying saw the person coming, and sighed faintly: "You golden body, you don't say hello and secretly come here, if something really happens, our Xun family can't afford it." ”

The man turned around and saw Zhao Ying's face as before, and was deeply moved: "After so many years, you are still like that." ”

"But you look a little older than you did back then. Zhao Ying walked over with a smile and stood next to the man looking at the endless snow scene in the distance: "Presumably, there are many places that give you a headache in these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?"

"Well, the things that your Xun family did in Nanzhou are enough to bother me. ”

Thinking back to the past, the five of them traveled together, but now things are people, and the two of them sighed.

Xun Yi noticed it when Zhao Ying left. After all, the Xun family's old mansion was his domain, and he felt that the dragon qi was approaching, and he wanted to go over and take a look. But after thinking about it, he sat in the Winter Snow Pavilion and didn't move.

He played with the jade cup with a thoughtful expression...... (To be continued.) )
