    The officials in the capital found that the King of England, who had been low-key for half a month, was shaking again in the last few days. Not only did he offer his majesty auspiciousness, he also asked the musicians to spread a song praising his majesty. For the first song, the King of England will hide his face and tears, expressing his majesty's great achievements and virtuous benevolence.

    After hearing this incident, Emperor Changlong sighed and rewarded the King of England with something. By the way, he euphemistically reminded him not to let musicians sing this song in the future.

    "What is the meaning of the father?" King Ying looked at the gift items placed in the room, thoughtfully, "Does the father think this song is not well written?"

    It seems that he should find a musician to re-arrange the music.

    After the ceremony was over, Hua Liuli was kept by the Queen Mother for a few days before being reluctantly released by the Queen Mother. There were a few large boxes of clothes and jewelry, and the queen mother still felt that she was missing some good-looking clothes.

    Knowing that the Queen Mother is really reluctant to part with herself, Hua Liuli's heart also gave birth to reluctance. After getting up in the morning, I stayed with the Queen Mother and talked to make her happy.

    "Count the days, your parents are about to return to Beijing." The queen mother looked at the sky, "it's almost noon, you can leave after lunch."

    Looking down at the hand gently held by the Queen Mother, Hua Liuli nodded: "Okay."

    "You grew up in the border gate, and you were taken into the palace by the Ai family as soon as you returned to Beijing. Maybe there are many things that are still unclear." The queen mother sighed, "This is the most prosperous and complicated place in our Dajin. Don’t trust a person easily, but don’t give up your heart for other things."

    "The Queen Mother." Hua Liuli's heart trembled slightly. She didn't expect the Queen Mother to speak this way for her.

    "The Aijia said this not to make you timid and afraid, but to tell you that you are the princess proclaimed by your majesty, your father is an indomitable general, and your mother is a heroine. You don't need to change for anyone. "The Queen Mother solemnly patted the back of Hua Liuli's hand, "You are still young, and people have a long life."

    Hua Liuli's eyes were reddish, and she nodded heavily: "Queen dowager, the courtier remembered."

    "Go, go to dinner with Ai's family." The queen mother smiled gently, as if she didn't think the words she just said were shocking to the world.

    After the meal, even if the Queen Mother is reluctant to leave, she can only arrange for the palace man to send Hua Liuli out of the palace.

    With the absence of a junior, Shoukang Palace suddenly became quiet, and the Queen Mother was lying on Feng's bed without any sleep. Her close female officer asked in a low voice, "Queen dowager, are you sleepy?"

    "The Aijia doesn't worry about that girl." The queen mother asked the female officer to help herself up. "The people in the capital are not as simple as border crossings."

    "Queen dowager, you are very kind to Princess Fushou." The female officer rolled up the curtain and helped the Queen Mother to sit down by the window.

    "The child's eyes are beautiful." The queen mother smiled, "the heart is sincere."

    "What's the explanation for this?" Seeing that the Queen Mother was talking about it, the female officer boldly asked a few more words.

    "Every time she goes out with Ai's family, her arms are always protecting her." The queen mother entered the palace at the age of fifteen. She is now in her sixties. She has experienced many things and seen many people. Understand the three-part mind.

    "It seems that it was an assassination in the palace, which made her think that there is danger in the palace, and a killer might be rushed out at any time." The queen mother laughed. "Her thin arms and thin legs made the Lai Family feel worried."

    "It's still the queen mother, your eyes are so fierce that the slave and maidservant didn't see anything."

    "That's because you haven't met Liuli's mother. When Liuli's mother was guarding Ae's family, she was in such a posture." The queen mother laughed. "Back then, Ae's family asked her why this is the case. She replied that that posture was the best. It's easy to spot the enemy, and it's easiest to hide the Aijia behind."

    Speaking of this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out: "At the age of I, widow, there is never a shortage of people who deliberately please, but there are not many children who are so sincere but don't speak."

    Upon hearing the words, the female official could not help but bring some regret in her tone: "It's a pity that the county body is weak, otherwise she will become a heroine like the general's wife."

    "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Who says that children must live like their parents." The queen mother is open to it, "you can't force it."

    The female officer gently beat the queen mother's leg: "The queen mother said yes, the servant girl is just a little distressed about the princess's body."

    The queen mother nodded and sighed: "That's true. She is a picky eater when she is in poor health. When her parents return to Beijing, I will let them take care of her."

    The female officer thought to herself, the princess had lived in the border with her parents for 15 years and hadn't changed it. I am afraid it will be difficult to change in this life.

    Before the carriage came out of Shoukang Palace, Hua Liuli heard someone calling herself.

    "Princess Fushou, please stay."

    Hua Liuli opened the curtain and saw a woman in a light-colored palace dress being supported by the palace maid, looking at her with a smile.

    "The lady of Concubine Shu is safe." Hua Liuli got off the carriage and saluted Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is the birth mother of the Fifth Prince and is said to be from a scholarly family. It is no wonder that the Fifth Prince has become a gentleman like a jade.

    "The princess doesn't need to be polite." Concubine Shu stretched out her hand to help Hua Liuli, "Are you going out of the palace?"

    She glanced at the carriages that followed Hua Liuli, and knew that they contained all the rewards given to Hua Liuli by the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Prince. Gong, originally planned to go to Shoukang Palace to see you. I heard that the main body of the county is weak and afraid of the cold. This piece of warm jade has the effect of nourishing one's health.

    "How ashamed..."

    "It is useful for the princess, that is Nuanyu. It is a useless stone to stay with me, and it is the most useful for the princess to like." Shu Fei is a gentle woman, every sentence, Every action makes people feel extremely comfortable.

    Finally, Hua Liuli accepted the warm jade. After saying goodbye to Concubine Shu, she ran into King Ning's biological mother Rong Concubine and the British King's biological mother Xian Concubine on the road. Everyone gave her a generous gift.

    "If Concubine Lin, the birth mother of the fourth prince, also comes, then I will be great today." Hua Liuli put the three gift boxes together and sighed.

    "The people in the palace are really complicated." Iris put the gift box under the carriage cushion and put a bag of dried meat into Hua Liuli's hand.

    Since the prince discovered that Hua Liuli likes to eat this kind of dried meat, he has been sent to her by the palace people every day. This bag was not finished yesterday.

    Hua Liuli sneered. It was not easy for these three empresses. They obviously didn't like her that much, but they had to put on the attitude of treating her as their own daughter and even bother to prepare gifts for her.

    "Princess Fushou, please stay."

    The master and servant looked at each other, Hua Liuli stuffed the dried meat back into Iris's hand, rubbed her hands and said, "It's finally here."

    She raised the curtain and looked outside. The carriage had already reached the gate of the palace. The prince was riding on the back of a snow-colored horse, looking at her with a smile.

    "His Royal Highness?" Hua Liuli did not expect that the person here was not Concubine Lin but the prince. She got out of the carriage and waited for the prince to come slowly on his horse. She couldn't help but look at the horse a few more times. It was a beautiful horse.

    "Like it?" the prince asked.

    Hua Liuli nodded slightly.

    The prince got off his horse and put the rein on Hua Liuli's white palm: "If you like it, I will give it to you."

    "Huh?" Hua Liuli was stunned, so casual?

    "What's wrong?" Seeing Hua Liuli staring at herself, the prince was stunned, "What's wrong with Gu today?"

    "His Royal Highness is still beautiful today." Hua Liuli shook her head and reached out to touch the top of the horse's head. Seeing that the horse hadn't resisted her, she couldn't help but smile, "This horse is a sacred horse, and the minister is not in good health. There are not many opportunities to ride a horse on weekdays, it stays with me...wasted."

    "A good horse matches a gentleman." Hua Liuli smiled at Shangma's big clean eyes, and the corners of her eyebrows were smiling. "The courtier really likes it, but it is more useful to stay with His Royal Highness."

    The prince looked at the smile in Hua Liuli's eyes and was silent for a moment: "I understand, this horse is raised for you alone, and when your body is healed after the spring, I will send it to you."

    Hua Liuli returned the reins to the prince's hands: "The courtier first thanked your Royal Highness."

    "Don't be picky about food after you return home. Children eat well to grow taller." The crown prince asked the eunuch to give a half-arm-long box to the palace man who sent Hua Liuli back to the palace. “In another ten days it will be New Year’s Eve. There will be a palace banquet. Before you come, eat something to cushion your stomach."

    Hua Liuli: "..."

    "Those things look good, but they don't taste very good." The prince wanted to pat Hua Liuli's head, remembering that he was not her biological brother, so he put his hand back, "Okay, you should go back sooner, and you should be alone. Back to the palace."

    "His Royal Highness, go slowly." Hua Liuli smiled and waved.

    The prince turned on his horse and leaned over to Hua Liuli and said: "By the way, Gu hasn't thanked you for your life-saving, thank you the princess that day."

    Hua Liuli remembered that the crown prince was talking about the day of the Eastern Palace assassination. She covered her chest and said with a blank face: "The courtier can't afford to thank your highness. It's just a coincidence. It's not the court's merit."

    "The coincidence happened to you, and that was your credit." The prince laughed, "Otherwise why didn't others meet it?"

    "His Royal Highness forgot, you also saved the courtiers." Hua Liuli looked up at the prince on horseback, "In Lincui Palace that day, if your Royal Highness hadn't sent someone to bring something over, maybe the courtier had already poisoned the cup. The wine is drunk."

    The prince saw that there was a clear figure in Hua Liuli's eyes, it was herself.

    He didn't hold it back at all, stretched out his index finger and tapped the top of her head lightly: "Go back, be careful on the road."

    After speaking, he patted the horse back, and the horse kicked into the palace gate.

    Hua Liuli returned to the carriage, opened the big box the Prince gave her, and instantly smiled.

    There are a variety of delicious snacks, separated by grids, each grid is full, exuding a tempting taste.

    "Iris, I think the best one among the five princes is the prince." Hua Liuli put the note in the box "Don't eat more, eat on time" aside, tasted every snack, and squinted. With emotion, "Especially today's extraordinarily beautiful, no one can match, unparalleled in the world."

    Iris smiled: "Are you boasting the prince? You boast of the prince who is willing to give you food."

    "No, am I such a superficial person?" Hua Liuli shook his head.

    She boasted that after turning over and dismounting, she passed the rein to the prince in her hand.

    It looks good!

    The author has something to say: Iris: Yes, you are.

    King of England: Today, I am still the one who pleases my father~
