Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 168
He Lianjin took her hand and walked towards the less crowded tower. The faint black bamboo fragrance on him was light and elegant. Xu Han liked this smell very much, and always felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

The scorching heat of his palm came from the back of his hand, and Xu Han realized that he was holding his hand through the crowded crowd. Although both of them had changed into the simplest attire, the kind that might be caught by the people around them at any time The excitement of recognizing and revealing their relationship caused the heat on Xu Han's face to spread again and again.

After running all the way, a thin layer of sweat had already oozed from Xu Han's forehead, his white and tender face was slightly flushed, and his small mouth was panting slightly.

He Lianjin took out a Jinpa, lowered his head, and gently wiped her sweat.

Xu Han looked at him without blinking. It was rare for the man in front of him to wear dark red and thick ink, but a light blue brocade robe, dark and deep eyes, a straight nose like jade and a slight His pursed thin lips all showed his indifference and alienation from the world.But no matter how indifferent he is to the world, when facing her, there will be a softness in those eyes inadvertently.Although it is not obvious, in Xu Han's view, this is already very rare.

After He Lianjin finished wiping, he took back the brocade handkerchief. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he reached out and patted her on the head, "Why are you in a daze?"

Xu Han immediately pulled back his thoughts, his face was a little red, but fortunately it was night, and he covered up his embarrassment well, "It's nothing, I'm watching the fireworks behind you!" After she finished speaking, she still pretended to be serious He pointed to the clusters of fireworks rising up and bursting behind He Lianjin, colorful and shining like stars.

He Lianjin turned sideways, glanced lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, if it wasn't for Haner's company, he would never even bother to look at this stuff.

"Second Highness." Xu Han asked softly, "Where are you taking me?"

He Lianjin was not in a hurry to give an answer, but asked first: "Do you want to watch the fireworks below, or go to the top of the tower?"

Xu Han raised his head, glanced at the tall and majestic tower not far in front of him, and secretly clicked his tongue. It's so high, and when he climbed to the top, the fireworks will be all set off, right?

Shaking her head, she said, "No, just look down there. There are few people in this place, and there are stone tables and benches over there. We can sit there."

He Lianjin asked: "Why don't you go up?"

Xu Han said truthfully: "The tower is too high, I'm afraid that when we reach the top, the fireworks will have already ended."

He Lianjin pursed her thin lips lightly upon hearing this.

"As long as you want to watch, the fireworks I prepared for you will never end."

It's rare that it doesn't hurt her, there are inexplicable things surging in his narrow and deep eyes at this moment, the night is too dark, she can't understand.

"Second Highness, is there something on your mind?" Afraid that he would get angry, she didn't dare to ask too loudly. After asking, she deliberately relaxed her breathing.

"What can I have on my mind?" He Lianjin immediately calmed down, held her lips in a rare way, and grabbed her hand, "Aren't you leaving? I have to stand for a while, and the curtain call will really end."

After speaking, lead her into the tower.

The tower is indeed tall, with nine floors.

When the two climbed to the top floor, they were both out of breath. Xu Han's already blushing little face seemed to have passed through boiling water.

After calming down his breath, He Lianjin walked over and opened the window. From this position, he could see farther and more clearly. The fireworks outside were extremely gorgeous, and they immediately shattered into a sky full of stars after taking off, and disappeared in an instant.

Xu Han walked over to stand side by side with him, raised the corners of his lips and looked down, his eyes were full of colorful colors.

"It's beautiful!" she praised.

He Lianjin looked at her sideways, his long and curly eyelashes trembling slightly, like a small butterfly flapping its wings non-stop, but every time it flapped, it could make his heartstrings vibrate.

"It's really beautiful." He Lianjin opened his mouth slowly and murmured.

After Xu Han realized that he was not talking about fireworks but himself, his pretty face burned uncontrollably, a little at a loss, and he didn't dare to look at him again.

He Lianjin took out the things he had prepared before going out, "It's for you."

Xu Han took it, it was a square box, the size of a palm, gilded and chiseled, and the workmanship was fine, making it hard to put it down.

Xu Han carefully put it in his palm, like holding a jar of fragile treasures, but he didn't intend to open it for a long time.

He Lianjin raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you open it and have a look?"

Xu Han was not in a hurry, and said with a playful smile, "Let me first guess what's inside."

"Yeah." He nodded lightly.

Xu Han thought for a moment, then looked at He Lianjin, "Jewelry?"

He Lianjin shook his head, "Guess again."

"Gold and silver are soft?"

He Lianjin still shook his head, "No."

"Could it be something important to you?"

He Lianjin paused, "It can be said so."

Xu Han was completely aroused by curiosity, "No, I really can't guess, can you open it and have a look?"

He Lianjin nodded, "You can do whatever you want."

Xu Han held the bottom of the box with one hand, and lifted the lid with the other hand, and opened it slowly.

It happened that the fireworks in the distance rose into the sky again at this time, dyeing the contents of the box colorfully.

I never expected that there would be a box full of hazelnut candies inside.

Xu Han couldn't believe it, and looked up at He Lianjin, without concealing the astonishment on his lips.

His slender hand picked up a piece and brought it to her lips, "Open your mouth."

Xu Han opened his mouth obediently, and the hazelnut candy entered his mouth. It turned out to be a familiar taste that had not been seen for more than ten years.

It's my mother's taste.

When she was very young, she liked to eat the hazelnut candies made by her mother, but it was a pity that her parents left early, so she didn't have the good fortune to eat it all the time.

Whether in Yangzhou or in the capital, every time she goes shopping, she always goes to buy hazelnut candies, but she can't taste the taste made by her mother. She thinks that once her mother leaves, no one in the world will be able to make them again. The hazelnut candy with the same taste, but the box that the Second Highness gave her tasted exactly the same as the one made by mother.

how can that be possible?
Xu Han remembered that He Lianjin had just said that the contents of the box were very important to him, and she slowly asked, "How did the Second Highness do it?"

He Lianjin asked without answering, "Is it sweet?"

"Well, it's so sweet." Xu Han nodded. In fact, all candies are sweet, but the one he gave her with his own hands is even sweeter.

"It's good to be sweet." He Lianjin seemed to be satisfied with her reaction, his brows and eyes were tinged with joy, and the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

"But the Second Highness hasn't answered my question yet!" Xu Han held the candy box and waited for the answer with burning eyes.

He Lianjin said: "I learned how to make this kind of sugar from your grandmother when I went to Yangzhou."

Xu Han was dumbfounded, "My grandmother?"

"Well, your mother's skills were taught by your grandmother, but unfortunately, when I went to Yangzhou, your mother was no longer alive, so I can only ask your grandmother for advice."

Xu Han thought about it carefully, "It doesn't seem right? Second Highness, you left the capital for Yangzhou four years ago, and my grandmother passed away eight years ago."

"Eight years ago, I went to Yangzhou." He looked at the fireworks outside, feeling sad.Not eight years ago, but in the previous life, he knew that she liked hazelnut candy the most, so after his rebirth in this life, he never idled for a moment. While being a demon king on the surface, he secretly planned several lines to carry out many things at the same time, and one of them The first thing was to arrange for a female guard to learn how to make hazelnut candy next to Xu Han's grandmother.

Xu Han was even more surprised, "Eight years ago?"

She was only ten years old at that time, when did the Second Highness know her?
He Lianjin seemed to see through her mind, and smiled lightly, "I've known you for more time than you can imagine."

Of course Xu Han didn't believe it, "Although the Second Highness is a few years older than me, you can't know me as soon as I was born, right?"

"It's not bad." His voice was low and charming amidst the fireworks all over the sky. Although Xu Han didn't fully believe what he said, she found that as long as she saw his brows stretched, she would be in an indescribably good mood. It can make both of them feel at ease, it doesn't matter whether he is true or not.

Lowering his head, he stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of candy and put it in his mouth. Xu Han was actually a little satisfied, "Second Highness, thank you."

He Lianjin pursed his lips, "Thank me for what?"

Xu Han blushed and boldly said: "Thank you, Second Highness, for spending so much time on me."

"It should." He said.

"Can I be more greedy?" Xu Han bit his lower lip.

"Ok?"

"Second Highness, can you give me hazelnut candy for a lifetime? I want to keep sweet."

Having grown up so big, Xu Han has never said such a thing to any man, but today I don’t know what happened, and it probably means a little touch of emotion. Watching fireworks with him and eating hazelnut candy under the fireworks, she suddenly fell in love. Emboldened.

He Lianjin didn't speak, just looked at her.

Xu Han regretted so much in his heart, he clearly didn't drink, so why did he talk nonsense?

He suddenly took the candy box from her hand and put it aside, holding the back of her cool hand instead.The moment the fireworks were lifted into the air again, she could clearly see the shock she had never seen on his usual stern face, and immediately after, the fingers holding her trembled slightly, as if he wanted to hold her tightly again, He was also afraid of breaking her easily, but he didn't hold her tightly and was reluctant to let go.

It can be called a "spectacle" that such contradictory emotions would appear on a cynical and indifferent demon king.

"Second Highness." Xu Han panicked, did he say something wrong again to make him unhappy?
He Lianjin's breathing became heavy, and without waiting for an answer, he hugged her tightly into his arms.

"Han'er, what you said is true?" She loved her so much in her previous life, but because she was pushed too hard, she was finally forced to a dead end.

In this life, even though he wanted to take her as his own a long time ago, when he thought of the tragedy of the previous life, he couldn't bear it every time.

He didn't dare to treat her like that in his previous life, so he could only change himself and restrain himself.

God knows how tormented he is at this moment of solitude, but he dared not force her to do anything, so he tried to put on an indifferent posture.

But he never thought that she would take the initiative to say this sentence.

Give her hazelnut candy for a lifetime?
"I'll give it to you in my next life, too, okay?" He Lianjin lowered his head to look at her with his arms holding her loose, his beautiful eyes were shining brightly.

Xu Han's heart was beating fast, and he felt that his breathing was not smooth. He gently pressed against his arms, and the faint fragrance of bamboo filled his nostrils. Would you like to give her the sweetness of the next life?Suddenly a soft place in my heart was touched, Xu Han nodded, "Okay."

She obviously felt that she just nodded, and the person holding her stiffened all over, and his arms became more and more forceful. It seemed that he had finally found the treasure he had been looking for for many years, and he was cautious in surprise.

"Han'er, Han'er, Han'er..." He Lianjin hugged her tightly, calling her name over and over again, fearing that she would be like fireworks in the night sky, which would disappear completely after a flash.

"Second Highness." Xu Han hugged him back, and gently put his hands around his waist. At this moment, the distance between the two hearts was so close, all the noise outside seemed to vanish in an instant, and only the two remained. heartbeat.

"You promised me that no matter what happens in the future, you will not let me go." The tone of a big child was clearly domineering, but mixed with a bit of grievance, which made the listeners dumbfounded.If you have already promised, it is like a promise. She has grown up so much, and she has never done anything that violates her promise.

From Xu Han's point of view, since he had already decided to be together since he was injured, shouldn't what he should do in the future be to find opportunities to get along and cultivate a relationship?Why did he regard her "promise" as so important to him, and she just asked him to give her hazelnut candy for a lifetime, this sentence seemed to have a great effect on him?

The scent of black bamboo on his body gave her a familiar sense of sight again, her head hurt a little, she shook it lightly, not wanting to think about it, no matter if she was familiar with him or not, at this moment, she had already invested in him. In his arms, as he said, no matter what happens in the future, it is impossible for her not to let him go.

"Han'er, is the candy just now sweet?"

The voice above him sounded again.

Xu Han didn't understand why he asked twice, but nodded patiently, "It's very sweet."

"Like it?"

"Yes, I like it."

……

"do you like it?"

A voice suddenly appeared in his mind, He Lianjin frowned and thought for a long time, and finally gradually became clear.

That was the time when He Lianyu was about to marry the second queen. He Lianyu personally went to the door of the Jin Palace to deliver the wedding invitation and also gave him a box of hazelnut candies.

"Han'er made this by herself. She said that you like this taste very much. Brother Wang, you don't have to be polite, just accept it. After all, this is wedding candy."

……

No, the number of times he had contact with Han'er in the last life can be counted on the fingers, how could she know what he likes?
Is He Lianyu lying to him or is his memory incomplete?Why can't some places be spliced ​​together?

"Second Highness, it's getting late, shouldn't we go back?" Xu Han moved in his arms and whispered.

He Lianjin pulled back his thoughts, the dark color in his eyes receded little by little, slowly let go of her, nodded, "Yeah."

Xu Han held the candy box in his palm and followed him down the tower.

After getting into the carriage, Xu Han asked: "Is the Second Highness returning to the Duke's residence or the palace?" She didn't know that He Lianjin got into trouble in the palace and was grounded.

He Lianjin would not talk to her about this, and said lightly: "Go back to the palace. But before going back to the palace, I will send you back to the mansion first."

Xu Han's heart warmed slightly, and his head drooped slightly, "Tonight's fireworks are very beautiful, and the hazelnut candy is also very sweet, thank you."

"This is what I should do, no need to say thank you." He looked sideways at her pretty side face, the curled eyelashes covered the pure and bright eyes underneath, and the pink and tender little face was delicate and smooth, as if alone Looking at this face, it's hard to guess that she's gone.

, in Nanliang is the oldest age to discuss marriage.

He Lianjin thought of something, and naturally pulled her hand over and clasped his fingers tightly.

Xu Han's already cramped heart beat faster, and there seemed to be a flame burning where the two held hands.

"Last time in Biezhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, I said that I would come to your house to propose marriage when I recovered, but right now I have encountered something, and I will fulfill my promise when it is finished."

Xu Han gave a seemingly "hmm" sound, and his heart suddenly seemed to be filled with something.

He Lianjin kissed her on the forehead, "Hey, wait for me."

"Yeah." She bit her lower lip awkwardly, not daring to look at him again.

Having grown up so much, I finally realized what it's like to be a girl in Huaichun. The feeling of "spring thinking is hard to restrain" makes people feel that it is dancing non-stop all day long, especially with that girl. When people are together, it dances especially chaotically.

"arrive."

His thoughts of fugue were brought back by his voice, Xu Han lifted the curtain to look outside, and for the first time felt that the journey back to the residence from Tongji Street would be so short, a slight sense of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Then I'm leaving." Xu Han got up with a bow.

"and many more."

"Any thing else?"

He Lianjin was afraid that telling her about the secret way would scare her, so he simply kept it a secret, "Recently, I may be a little busy, I remember that there is an abandoned yard in the back of your house, the one with the dry well, if you When you are free someday, write a note and press a small stone on the manhole cover, my people will come to pick it up, and when I receive the letter, I will try my best to arrange a time to meet you."

"Well, I see." Xu Han smiled at him, and got out of the carriage with his skirt.

He Lianjin opened the curtains to say goodbye to her.

-

In the palace at this time, there have been three rounds of drinking.

Emperor Yonglong reckoned that everyone was almost drunk, so he asked Eunuch Zhang to read the imperial edict.

The civil and military officials all straightened their ears and heard clearly.

This imperial decree is written to crown the four princes over the age of 16 as kings.

The eldest prince, He Lianxun, was crowned King of Wei.

The second prince, Helian Jin, was crowned King of Jin.

The third prince, He Lianyu, was named a virtuous king.

The sixth prince, Helian Rui, was named King of Liang.

In Nanliang, apart from the crown prince, the titles of other princes are no different.

He Lianxun, King of Wei, He Lianyu, King of Xian, and He Lianrui, King of Liang, all stepped forward to receive an order to thank him, but He Lianjin was the only one to be seen.

Empress Luo frowned slightly, and Helian Shuang who was on the side whispered: "Mother, when I went to Lingquan Palace to find my elder brother, I was stopped by his guard Bai Qi, saying that my elder brother didn't see anyone. Could it have slipped out already?"

Empress Luo said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, the outside of Lingquan Palace is full of Imperial Forest Army, so many people can still lose a living person?"

Helian didn't say anything, but he slandered in his heart: The guards of the Imperial Forest Army may be useful to others, but to my brother, as long as he wants to go out, no one can stop him.

Without seeing King Jin, the ministers started talking in low voices.

Emperor Yonglong said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Zizi is innocent, he contradicted me earlier and was punished and grounded."

All the ministers were stunned, but they were not surprised. It would be really weird if this one didn't contradict the emperor one day.

He Lianyu glanced at the empty seat that belonged to He Lianjin, and narrowed his eyes. Earlier, he felt that He Lianjin was so stupid and stupid that he dared to ask for the emperor's woman. Now that he thinks about it, that person is clearly doing it for him. Create an opportunity.

He was sure that he would be punished and be grounded in Lingquan Palace.

Therefore, the "foot restraint" is just an appearance for outsiders to see. He Lianjin must be secretly plotting something.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy He Lianyu felt, and he looked away, "Father, since the second brother is not here, let my son go to Lingquan Palace to read his imperial decree in person in a while!" Emperor Yonglong will not refuse At this opportunity, He Lianyu continued: "After all, I promised earlier that the Second Emperor Brother would give him a supplementary course."

Emperor Yonglong glanced at the admiring eyes of the ministers looking at He Lianyu, and nodded without emotion, "Yes!"

After the palace banquet was over, He Lianyu came to Lingquan Palace with an imperial decree, but the commander of the Imperial Forest Army let him go, but Bai Qi, who was guarding outside the main hall, refused to let him in, "The Second Highness ordered, he did not see anyone, especially The last thing I want to see is you, Third Highness."

He Lianyu smiled instead of anger, "Second brother, why is this?"

Bai Qi was the guard brought back by He Lianjin from the outside, not from the palace. He was not afraid of He Lianyu, he straightened his neck and stared into the distance, and said stiffly: "If you don't want to see it, then you don't want to see it. Why so much?"

He Lianyu raised the imperial decree in Yang's hand, "I know that my second brother never takes father's words seriously, but this is the imperial imperial decree, if he doesn't accept it, how can he leave the palace and build a mansion?" After a pause, He Lianyu raised the corners of his lips, "You stop me like this, could it be that the second brother is not in Lingquan Palace at all?"
