"Fine." After careful consideration, Emperor Changlong felt that his son could not be wronged, so he gave up the idea of ​​letting Du's daughter become a prince.

"I will show you again." Emperor Changlong sighed, "When I was your age, there was no shortage of people around me."

The prince did not hear the last two sentences, and got up and gave a big gift to Emperor Changlong: "Thank you, the emperor, for his compassion."

"Although I was born in the royal family, I can't do many things as I want, but I don't want you to find a princess who is annoying." Emperor Changlong waved his hand, "If you have a suitable identity and a woman who has a good opinion of you, you can tell me in advance."

The prince said: "Father, the sons and ministers are just a little picky about the relationship, but they are not obsessed with their children's personal relationships. If you want your sons and ministers to have affection for a noble girl, it will be difficult."

"Ball." Emperor Changlong was angry when he heard this, and waved his hand to drive the prince back to sleep.

"The minister will retire first." The prince was ready to roll wittily.

"Wait." Emperor Changlong threw a red seal to the prince, "take it, the New Year's Eve bag."

"Thank you, Father." The prince left with a New Year's Eve.

Emperor Changlong began to sigh again, hoping that by next year, a few children will be able to make a new year's gift.

After the prince left, the worried old father, Emperor Changlong, sent someone to give each prince and princess a New Year's Eve bag. There is a habit in Dajin that every New Year's Eve, the elders have to give the unmarried younger generation a new year gift. Although he has five sons and three daughters, and he is not too young, none of them are married.

The emperor's family also bothers about their children's marriage.

It was already late for the Hua family brothers and sisters to return to Huafu. After washing, lying in the soft quilt, Hua Liuli slowly fell asleep with her memory of her parents.

She slept late the next day before getting up.

"The plan for a year lies in the spring, and the plan for the day lies in the morning." Hua Changkong saw Hua Liuli not waking up, "Today is the first day of the new year, you sleep so late?"

"I can sleep late on the first day of the new year, which means that I can sleep late this year. It is a good sign." Hua Liuli has finished breakfast and her spirit has slowly recovered. "Three brothers, go for a walk today, and read a book at home on the first day of the new year. , It depends on one year's book."

"Wrong theory." Hua Changkong reached out and flicked her forehead, "I will take you out for a walk."

It will be very lively outside on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The two of them stayed in the house, and it was indeed a little cold. Hua Changkong knew that his sister missed his father and mother.

The siblings changed their clothes and went out. Hua Changkong knew that his sister was lazy and didn't want to walk, so he deliberately asked the servant to set up a carriage before taking her out.

The street was really crowded with people. The small business vendors were all smiling, there were naughty children clamoring about buying snacks, and young men and women walking together shyly, even if they were surrounded by crowds. Disperse the sweet affection between them.

Hua Changkong knew that Hua Liuli was greedy, so he bought some snacks and stuffed it into the carriage like a thief, and whispered: "Don't eat too much, the things outside are not clean."

"Third brother's mind, even if I don't like to eat these, I will cherish it." Hua Liuli raised the curtains and smiled softly at Hua Changkong. After putting down the curtains, he ate snacks with Iris' head.

"The capital is really a good place." Hua Liuli said with emotion, "all the delicious things can be found in the capital in both the east and the west."

It’s no wonder that there are so many people in Beijing, who eat too much every day and are idle, don’t you just want to find something out?

From time to time on the street, the patrolling Jingzhao Mansion Sabre clerk passed by. The vendors were not afraid to see the clerk, and those who knew him would take the initiative to say hello, showing a thriving appearance.

Hua Liuli can probably understand why Dad respects the current sage so much.

"Walking by, don't miss it. To celebrate Dajin's capture of the second prince, all noodles at this stall are 20% off. Buy five bowls and get one free."

"Look here, look here, our pies are unusual." There was a woman wearing an apron shouting, "In order to thank your Majesty Yingming Shenwu, all pies in this shop are sold cheaply. Buy three fillings. Hot tea with cakes."

"It's selling flowers, it's selling flowers." A child carried a basket of flowers to sell, "put on the hair here, you are the most beautiful girl on the street."

The vendors in the capital are different. Even the reason for discounts is so great. How high is this ideological consciousness to be happy and worry about the court.

Hua Liuli was moved by their spirit and bought a bunch of pies for the people who accompanied her and her brother.

Waiting for people to eat, Hua Liuli got off the carriage, and looked around with Hua Changkong. happened to meet another group of people.

"Princess." Du Xiuying knew Hua Liuli. She looked at the brothers and sisters carrying all kinds of gadgets in their hands, and gave them a perfect gift, "Happy New Year."

"Good girl Du." Hua Liuli replied, "Ms. Du also came to see the excitement?"

Du Xiuying shook her head faintly: "There is a bookstore in front of me, I will go to buy books."

Hua Liuli is in awe, how amazing is the woman who reads carefully the first day of the new year.

"Farewell." Du Xiuying saluted again.

Hua Liuli hurriedly responded. In this girl Du, she seemed to see the shadow of her husband, which reminded her of the fear of being punished when she was young.

Du Xiuying nodded slightly, lifted the skirt slightly, and walked across the crowd in the other direction. Her steps are the same, as if they have been measured. Even if she is surrounded by pedestrians, the swaying amplitude of her steps remains unchanged.

"This girl Du is really amazing." Hua Liuli said with emotion. In terms of etiquette, the nobles have so many demands, but there are not many people like Miss Du who are not bad.

"What do you boast about others doing?" Hua Changkong saw a group of stilt-walking artists in the distance, twisting fans and approaching this side, reaching out to protect Hua Liuli by his side. "When your husband teaches you etiquette, if you have this This kind of consciousness is just fine."

"My body is weak." Hua Liuli grabbed Hua Changkong's sleeves, and suddenly her expression changed: "Brother, it's not quite right."

She and her third brother were dressed in gorgeous clothes. The common people were afraid that they would lose money by squeezing the accessories on their bodies, and they were cautiously avoiding them, but at this moment she found that many people deliberately leaned toward this side.

There are no ordinary people in Beijing who are so carefree.

Hua Changkong also realized that something was wrong. He watched the unknown passers-by who were getting closer and closer, and was about to pull out the dagger hidden in his boots, when he heard his sister screaming.

"Help, someone wants to murder the daughter of General Protector!"

"The general's daughter?"

"Who will kill the general's daughter?!"

"His grandpa, let me see if I won't kill him."

When the passers-by and the vendors heard this scream, they realized that something was wrong and rushed over in blood.

"Protect the general's daughter."

"Yes, the general guards the country for us, and we protect his daughters."

The person who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hold Hua Liuli, before his hand touched Hua Liuli's sleeve, the vendor who bought the candied haws took a bamboo stick and put it on the back of his hand.

"Oh!" This person screamed, and was instantly knocked to the ground by the people.

Hua Changkong noticed that someone had pulled out the weapon and kicked it in the air. The weapon was kicked to the ground by him. When there are many people, the Hua family has rich experience. He was worried that these people would hurt the people, and he dared not relax for a moment.

On the contrary, these unknown people seem to be more accustomed to sneak attacks. Seeing that the situation is wrong, they turn around and rush into the crowd and want to escape. But where they were the opponents of the people in the capital, many people surrounded them with all hands and feet and stopped them from leaving.

"Please be careful and pay attention to your own safety. These thieves may have weapons on their bodies." Hua Liuli stood in the crowd, shaky, her face was full of panic, she looked very pitiful and helpless, as if the scream resounding through the street just now The sound is not what she makes.

There was Hua Changkong who was good at melee on the battlefield. Before they took out the weapons in their hands, he kicked them over. Coupled with the protection of the people, those who want to take Hua Liuli away from the chaos, dare not reveal their identity, and there is no way to start.

A timid girl who cares about others is more likely to arouse passers-by's desire for protection. Therefore, these detained thieves, after being beaten severely by the outrageous people, were sent to Jingzhao Mansion with bruised nose and swollen face.

After the culprits were sent to the government, the Hua brothers and sisters began to thank the people.

The rescue of the general's daughter gave the people a sense of satisfaction. Seeing that the two brothers and sisters are outstanding, and they are close to ordinary people like them, they all smiled happily: "No thanks, no thanks, such a well-behaved little girl, and those thieves are also willing to start. It's really a thing to cut off children.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Seeing that Hua Liuli's face was pale, an aunt was distressed. She stuffed the longevity tumbler sold at her stall into Hua Liuli's hand, "Come on, take this to play."

This is coaxing Hua Liuli as a little granddaughter.

When Du Xiuying came out of the bookstore, she saw Hua's brothers and sisters sitting in the wonton shop eating from a distance. They were all sitting around them with commoner pawns. She even saw Hua Liuli drinking wonton soup while talking to people.

Cannot eat and sleep, the Hua family is a family of military commanders that has been passed down for many years, how can they not even abide by this etiquette?

"What are you talking about, who arrested the killers who were sent out?" Wu San thought he had a problem with his ears.

"I was caught by the people and vendors on the street."

"They are killers." Wusan was silent for a long time. "They are killers with names on the list of killers. Tell me now that they were taken away by vendors. Did they buy their rankings with money?"

"Boss." The assassin who replied whispered, "You forgot again, our assassins don't have a last name."

"The atmosphere in the capital is really getting worse and worse. Even the killer rankings are making fakes." Wusan covered his face, "Go out and don't say they are killers. Our killer industry cannot afford to lose this person."

The killer thought, in their business, there is anyone else to lose. Isn't it a life to lose?

"It's all useless things." Wu San felt grief and indignation for the downturn in the killer industry and worried about the future of the killer world. He wiped his face solemnly, "Next time, I will do it myself."

As the third-ranked senior in the killer world, it is time for him to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
