After several months, although Gao Zhan sent people to search for Xiao He's whereabouts, there was still no news. Autumn and winter are coming, and soon it will be time to welcome the new year. Every year, the imperial court will hold a court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, which is the first day of the first month, and this year is no exception. Chang Gong got up early in the morning, just changed into his official uniform and walked out of the room, when Xiao Wan, who was waiting outside the door, forcefully stuffed him with a raw egg.Resisting the urge to beat someone, she hurried back to the house and poured herself a glass of water.Every year on this day, she is forced to eat a raw egg. Although it is the custom of Qi people, eating raw eggs on the first day can avoid plague, but... the problem is, every time she eats raw eggs, she will not stop Hiccup!

"Third brother! Why are you feeding me raw eggs again, don't you know I will hiccup non-stop!" "Ah, bad, third brother forgot all about it!" "Er—you forget every year!" "Okay, you should go to the palace when you are ready," Xiao Yu came over and dragged the two of them over, "Hurry up and get in the car, it will be terrible if you are late today." "Wait, don't forget to bring Que Guiwan." The aunt hurried over and handed them a few pills wrapped in wax and realgar, "Remember to bring them with you." A strong smell of realgar came to his nostrils, Chang Gong wrinkled his nose, and put the knot buckle containing Que Gui Wan on his arm, and saw that there were already reed ropes and Shen Tu hanging on the gate of the Gao Mansion. , Yu Lei's portrait, but I can't help but have some doubts in my heart. Could it be that ghosts and ghosts will really be scared away when they see these things?


In winter, the auspicious snow flutters and falls, the royal palace of Qi State is stacked with jade flowers, snowflakes are flying, and white snow is slowly piled up on the window eaves, pavilions, and rockeries. The scene is really beautiful. Chang Gong followed his elder brothers to enter through Yunlong Gate as usual, and came to the East Pavilion where the emperor was waiting for the emperor. At this time, almost all the officials had arrived, and they also took advantage of this time to say some festive congratulations to each other to win over the relationship.The brazier in the palace was ignited, and the ladies of the court filed in to move the incense burner into the palace, and kept throwing incense coals into it.Soon, the whole hall was full of fragrance.

Chang Gong saw Heng Jia who was having a good time talking with everyone there at a glance. He was wearing a crimson green official uniform today, the corners of his mouth raised like a crescent moon, his eyes looked forward to the flying style, as if he was in the morning. The rising sun breaking through the clouds at that moment. Seeing him smiling so happily made her angry.Thanks to this fox, the number of guys who have borrowed money from her in the past few months has continued to increase, and they regard her as a cornucopia. Seemingly aware of a vicious stare staring at her, Heng Jia suddenly raised her head and smiled slightly in her direction. She rolled her eyes and turned her head away with a soft snort.

When she turned her head, she happened to see He Shikai walking beside her, and said with a smile, "Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth, and a young hero like King Lanling is really rare. Given time, he will be able to achieve greater things." ..." Although I have heard this kind of flattery all the time, this is really not the right time for He Shikai to choose, and she just happens to be full of resentment and has nowhere to vent it. "My lord, do you mean that this king is only doing small things now?" She raised her eyebrows. Heshi Kaixin knew that he had bumped into a soft nail, and hurriedly smiled and said, "How can I mean this... I mean..."

"In my king's opinion, Mr. He might have been too tired and slipped his words for a while," Zhang Gongzheng was surprised when Xiao Yu suddenly spoke up to excuse He Shi, and then saw Xiao Yu's sneer, "Mr. Gong, don't you know it's hard work to play with the emperor all the time?" He Shikai's face changed slightly. Although the other officials thought it was a little funny, it hindered He Shikai's gaining power, so no one dared to show it. Xiao Wan was different, he didn't care if he was unfavorable when he drove a gentleman, he had already burst out laughing.

He Shikai's eyes dimmed, but there was still a smile on his lips, and he replied, "The King of Henan is joking." At this moment, only the bells and chimes rang together, and the musicians began to play the three pieces of "Huang Ya".Along with the beat, the singers of the Yellow Gate sang the Five-Character Praise in unison, the emperor's virtues and fortunes, and the car books are unremarkable.After Zhimao faces the group, he hangs down to guard against the gods.Eight Huang retranslated to, Wan Guowan came to kiss... Chang Gong frowned, and said in a low voice, "Every year's content is the same, I can memorize it..."

Xiao Yu raised the corner of her mouth lightly, "However, even if you memorize it, you still don't know what these praises are about." "Hey, big brother..." "Hush, the emperor has come out. Kneel down quickly." Xiao Yu interrupted her, stretched out her hand to give her a hand, Chang Gong hurriedly fell to the ground with a plop, and the emperor came out slowly amidst the sound of drums On this day, all the officials knelt down and bowed down, shouting for ten thousand years, and the momentum was amazing for a while. Chang Gong raised his head and took a sneak peek, only to see that Uncle Jiu was wearing a celestial crown on his head. The black flat crown on the crown had twelve prongs dangling, with white jade beads hanging from it, and its length reached shoulder length.He wears a dress of soap color on the top and crimson color on the bottom. The clothes are painted with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, Chinese insects, and fire, and are also embroidered with algae, powder, rice, and 軼軻 ornaments.There is a long four-inch wide plain belt around the waist. The red lining is used as the lining and the vermilion scroll embroidery is used as the decoration.

Behind him, Empress Hu is wearing a cumbersome hibiscus bun, wearing the most noble twelve tree heads on temples, her vermilion lips are dyed with black ointment into the most popular "hey lips" makeup, and she is wearing a dark blue empress dress. Clothes and green gauze underwear.Decorated with a large bright belt, the upper half is decorated with vermilion brocade, the lower half is decorated with green brocade, and there is a golden white jade phoenix pendant hanging on the waist, which is noble and bright. After the emperor and queen sat on the throne, all the officials were flattened, and all the officials offered gifts and worship in turn according to their grades, and offered birthday wine to the emperor.The aloof emperor's face was still cold, and he only tasted the birthday wine presented by each minister, with a bit of alienation in his majesty.

When it was Chang Gong's turn to present, she also copied the gourd and handed the emperor's birthday wine to the waiter, who knelt down the wine in front of the throne, poured a glass of wine herself, and knelt down again. In the tunnel, he said in a loud voice, "The minister Gao Chang will respectfully offer the cup and worship again, and you will live for tens of millions of years!" To be honest, she really hated this kind of endless ceremony, her knees were almost numb, and she was more tired than fighting! The emperor took the glass of wine, with a smile that was hard to detect by the corner of his mouth, and he drank it all when he raised his head.

All the ministers exchanged glances quickly, with complex expressions on their faces. The empress gave the emperor a meaningful look, her eyes fell on the empty wine glass, and then quickly glanced at He Shikai not far away, she seemed a little sad, but disappeared immediately. After all the officials offered the birthday wine, the emperor received the envoys sent by the states and counties.When it was time to eat, Chang Gong's stomach had protested countless times. However, when she saw the dishes on the starter plate, she lost her appetite immediately.Sure enough, it is the five-spicy dish that everyone hates, and ghosts hate. This dish contains five kinds of vegetables, including onion, ginger, garlic, leek, and radish, and five kinds of spicy vegetables. It is also a must-eat food on the first day of Qi State. Fortunately, there are a lot of dishes after that, especially the "Hun Yang Set".For this dish, five-flavored poultry meat is steamed in a fat goose belly, and then the fat goose is roasted in a whole lamb.Juicy and delicious, it is one of Chang Gong's favorites. During the period, with the sound of drums and music, the monarch and his ministers rejoiced together, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Everyone wanted to curry favor with Chang Gong, but unknowingly brought the topic to the poor girl, who was nothing more than brave and good at fighting, the pillar of the Qi Kingdom. "I don't know if King Lanling was ever mistaken for a woman on the battlefield?" The queen suddenly said, "With such a stunning appearance, sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish between Yin and Yang." Chang Gong's heart trembled slightly, and when he looked up, the queen had a soft smile on her face, as if asking this question was just a momentary curiosity. "Speaking of it, such a beautiful appearance is really distressing. If the enemy mistakenly thinks that Qi State sent a woman to fight, I'm afraid it will lose the prestige of Qi State." The queen laughed again before she could answer. . A look of displeasure appeared on Chang Gong's face, but since the other party was the queen, he didn't say anything.But I was also a little confused in my heart. Why did Aunt Ninth, who was always good to her, suddenly say such things today to embarrass her? Xiao Wan couldn't hold back any longer, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Yu beside him, and looked sideways at Heng Jia, who was opposite, but this guy had an expression of watching the show. "Prince Lanling, you..." The queen took Chang Gong's expression into her eyes, and she felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in her heart. She just said a few more words, and suddenly noticed the emperor's tea eyes that were full of water and moonlight. The piercing mistyness spread out, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and blurted out, "What I'm talking about is just a joke." At this time, I saw the He Shi opened his cup and got up, and said with a smile, "Although what your mother said is a joke, but when facing the enemy on the battlefield, the appearance cannot make the enemy fearful, and it is true..." Seeing that He Shikai took the opportunity to retaliate, a bright smile bloomed on the corner of Chang Gong's lips, and he said in a loud voice, "Master He is right. Then according to what Master He saw, if the appearance is vicious, it must be more impressive. The enemy is afraid, and the possibility of victory is even greater?" Seeing that He Shikai nodded, she smiled brighter and took a step towards Gao Zhan, "Your Majesty, if there is another war next time, I have a good commander in chief, and I will be invincible." Gao Zhan asked calmly, "Who is it?" "Back to the emperor, of course it's the statue of Zhong Kui in the temple. This is ferocious and ferocious enough. The enemy is not scared to death when he sees it. Our army won without a fight!" Gao Zhan actually burst out laughing, and when everyone saw the emperor's happy face, they laughed without any scruples, and He Shikai looked extremely embarrassed, and sat down sullenly. The queen looked at the man with a jade-like face but a wanton smile, obviously he was smiling, but the shimmering light from the corners of his long and narrow eyes under the white jade bead curtain made her feel a bit of coldness.
After the court meeting on Yuanri, more than ten days later, the emperor summoned Chang Gong alone again. As soon as Chang Gong saw him, he began to complain angrily, "Uncle Jiu, that He Shikai is just a villain, and as you have seen, he actually wanted to embarrass me at the court meeting that day..." Gao Zhan smiled lightly, "It turned out that you didn't embarrass him?" "Of course, it's a dream to get cheap from me, Gao Changgong!" Chang Gong picked up a cup of tea and drank it down. "I know what kind of person he is," Gao Zhan's eyes flashed with complicated light, "but for some reason, I don't think I need to pretend anything in front of him." feel. "Uncle Jiu, are you pretending to be something in front of me?" Chang Gong frowned displeasedly, "I never pretend to be anything in front of you." "Look at you, you're childish again, aren't you? In front of you, I'm still your Uncle Jiu..." He smiled slightly. Chang Gong grabbed a candy from the plate, threw it into his mouth accurately, and giggled again.That kind of smile fell into his eyes, but it was bitter.His eyes gradually dimmed, waves of pain in the depths of his heart gradually hit, and he felt as if he was about to suffocate. He is her relative, and they are tightly connected by the same blood, and they cannot be separated at all.From the moment he learned that she was injured, he understood that he could not live without her. If she lost her existence, then his existence would be meaningless. When did that kind of simple family affection undergo a subtle change?No one knew that he slid down to the edge of the cliff step by step like this, knowing that going forward would mean breaking his body to pieces, but why did he still linger here for a long time, unwilling to leave? Besides, how could he tell her all this?Isn't that a sin?How could he have the heart to let her face this terrifying wave?No, he couldn't tell her, because he was afraid of losing, losing the position he had firmly held as her most valued relative. But, he is still not reconciled, getting along with her at such a close distance, but can only look at her from such a distance, she is clearly close at hand, but seems far away at the end of the world. Uncle Jiu, this identity, this gender, is like a set of shackles that firmly locked him, making him fall into the bottom of hell, and never recover. Anger, what is great and what you ask for but can't ask for. Sorrow, what is great is what you ask for but not what you ask for.
When Chang Gong returned to Gao Mansion, someone was waiting for her in the mansion.Chang Gong recognized that person as the owner of the most famous Wang Ji blacksmith shop in Yecheng, and several of her swords also came from Wang Ji. "My lord, Master Hulu asked me to send this over, saying that you will need it in future wars, my lord." Boss Wang waved his hand, and two people immediately carried a wooden box. Chang Gong opened the box suspiciously, and was slightly surprised when he saw the contents inside. Inside was actually a ferocious and terrifying iron mask.On the top of the mask, in addition to the three holes cut to expose the eyes and mouth, there are also some obsidian that emit cold light. "Master Hulu came to our shop a few days ago and said that he wanted us to imitate the head mask of Nuo Wu and make an iron mask, and he also asked to use the best black iron, so that the mask must be thin and light." Boss Wang respectfully Offer the mask respectfully. Chang Gong reached out to take the mask, only to feel that his hands were cold, and it was indeed thin and light. With a slight movement in his heart, he asked again, "When did Lord Hulu ask you to make it?" "Go back to the prince, I remember clearly, it was the second day of the first lunar month." Chang Gong didn't say anything more, but he already knew it in his heart, a faint warmth quietly spread in his heart, just like the warmth when he gently applied medicine to her in that hurtful night. From the body, all the way, to the heart. Wearing this mask, she will be even more invincible on the battlefield, and no one can beat her King Lanling! "Boss Wang, please help me to thank him." She put away the mask, but saw that Boss Wang was still standing there motionless, seemingly hesitating to speak. "What's wrong?" "My lord, you, you haven't paid me yet." Boss Wang smiled. Eh?Chang Gong was stunned, "Didn't Lord Hulu give this to me?" "I don't know about this little one. Master Hulu only ordered the little one to use the best and most expensive materials to make a mask, and said that you will pay the bill, my lord. By the way, Lord Hulu also ordered some things by the way, saying The prince will also pay together, the prince...?" Boss Wang looked at the distorted expression on Chang Gong's face in horror, and the only thought in his mind was that the prince doesn't seem to need such a scary mask anymore, because he seems to be scarier than that mask now...
