Yin Mingyu walked into the crowd at the right time and saved Bai Zhixu's embarrassment.

"Cousin-in-law!"

Yin Mingyu nodded to her, then looked at the gentleman at the head, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu Xiaolang."

Zhu Weizhen looked at her, a little familiar, but couldn't remember.

A young man behind him glanced at Yin Mingyu for a few moments, suddenly realized something, and leaned into his ear and said, "This is the wife of Xie Jingming, the one who played Cuju with the Lord of Weiyang County in Qiu Hunting."

Zhu Weizhen suddenly remembered.

On the day of Qiuhun, many people watched a group of ladies kicking and kicking, and the pair of Weiyang County Lord and Mrs. Xie Shao, who started the game, naturally attracted much attention.

But Zhu Weizhen heard people talk about how Xie Jiazi was talented since he was a child, so he was quite disgusted with the name "Xie Jingming", and naturally he had a flat attitude towards Mrs. Xie Shao.

It's just that he looked at the lady who taught him to lose his soul again. Facing Yin Mingyu, who was obviously familiar with her, he immediately hung up a smile and cupped his hands: "It was Mrs. Xie Shao, who has been looking forward to it for a long time."

Several of his companions also greeted Yin Mingyu one after another.

After the two parties saw the ceremony, Zhu Weizhen's eyes drifted to the person behind the guard, and asked politely, "Mrs. Xie Shao, I don't know who these two ladies are..."

Yin Mingyu had a smile on his face, as if he didn't know what happened just now, and said solemnly: "Does Zhu Xiaolang mean my aunt and cousin?"

"Aunt... Aunt?!" Zhu Weizhen was dumbfounded.

The gentlemen around him were also shocked, looking at the auntie inquiringly, completely disbelieving.

Yin Mingyu pretended not to understand why they were like this, hiding a bit of wickedness, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong? It's wrong!

Zhu Weizhen looked at his aunt in disbelief, took a step back in fright, and collided with the gentlemen behind him.

The auntie also reacted at this time that this stunned young boy really had a crooked mind towards her, and immediately picked up the elder Joe, "In terms of seniority, you guys should call me auntie..."

Seeing her face, Zhu Weizhen couldn't help being fascinated. He heard her words clearly, and quickly closed his mouth. His heart was shaking.

Some of his companions hurried to follow, and some also cupped hands with Yin Mingyu and aunt ... aunt, and then left in a hurry.

Yin Mingyu stood on tiptoe slightly, and smiled and looked at the figures of these little gentlemen running away in a hurry.

The auntie didn't take it to heart, and only said to her: "What are you doing, a married daughter-in-law, staring at someone else's little man? Be careful and teach the big man to know."

To know is to know.

Yin Mingyu withdrew his gaze, because my aunt and that Zhu Xiaolang were in a good mood today.

And Bai Zhixu was still in a trance and couldn't recover, except for calling out "Cousin-in-law" earlier.

When the auntie saw her daughter like this, she suddenly exaggerated and sighed, "Look at how ignorant you are..."

Bai Zhixu raised his head, wondering where his mother's words came from.

The auntie couldn't help saying proudly: "When I was young, whenever I went out, I always met young men from various families, and there were people waiting outside the Xie family's door. The matchmaker who proposed marriage had to step on the threshold of the Xie family."

Bai Zhixu couldn't imagine it, and asked suspiciously, "Won't it be a hindrance to his reputation?"

When the aunt heard the words, she coughed, and said shyly: "So the old lady grounded me, and it didn't take long for me and your father to get engaged."

Bai Zhixu: "…"

Why look so reluctant? Aren't you afraid that your father, Izumi Shichi, will come to you?

Yin Mingyu was very familiar with Mrs. Xie's "foot grounding" punishment, so he couldn't help laughing, and then handed the colored flag to the two of them.

My aunt disliked it and didn't want to accept it.

Yin Mingyu said, "I won't be able to find you if I get separated, and I won't be able to explain to my grandmother when I go back."

Bai Zhixu was sensible, took it directly, and in turn persuaded his aunt to be "obedient", and then the aunt had to take over Caifan.

In the whole temple fair, only two people were holding the colorful flags, it would be fine even if they were separated a little. Yin Mingyu could see it as soon as he looked up, and he could just look for the colorful flags.

At the temple fair, other people noticed the moving colored flags, and Xie Qin and King Ding were one of them.

However, they didn't meet the auntie and Bai Zhixu, only Xie Qin saw the Xie family's guard, walked forward and walked again, and then saw Yin Mingyu again.

Xie Qin's beautiful appearance, with his sword-like eyebrows and star-shaped eyes, is naturally very eye-catching at the temple fair.

At this time, something flew from the oblique direction, and the guards responded immediately, drawing a knife to protect King Ding's side.

But the object went straight to Xie Qin, Xie Qin raised his hand slightly and caught it very casually.

Everyone looked closely, only to find that it was actually a silk flower...

Looking in the direction from which the silk flower flew, there were indeed several young ladies on the other end, but they all avoided their eyes and could not see that it was the one who threw the silk flower.

King Ding went out on tour in a small dress, but because he was not low-key at all, he was amused for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't go with you Jingming in the future..."

Xie Qin pleaded guilty to King Ding, and instead of looking for the owner of Silk Flower, he looked at the location of Yin Mingyu, who was just now.

Where there are many eyes, there is a lively look.

Yin Mingyu followed everyone's line of sight and saw Xie Qin long ago, and happened to watch the whole process of the daring little lady throwing silk flowers. Seeing Xie Qin looking over, she gave him a joking smile when they looked at each other.

Xie Qin stared at her blankly.

King Ding and even some people around him gradually noticed his gaze and looked over together.

King Ding also had some familiarity with Yin Mingyu, and with some understanding of Xie Qin, he asked, "Is that Jing Ming's family?"

"Returning to His Highness, it's my wife." Xie Qin bowed his hands to King Ding, and after asking for instructions, he walked towards Yin Mingyu.

As soon as he approached, Yin Mingyu directly ridiculed: "Tan Lang glances, throwing fruit and chariot, good luck."

Xie Qin said indifferently: "It happens that this blessing is shared with you."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and put the silk flower hairpin on her hair.

When the little lady who was throwing silk flowers in the distance saw her, she ran away with a disappointed expression.

Yin Mingyu touched the hairpin on top of his head, glanced at the little lady who ran away, and said in a low voice, "Lang Jun really doesn't know how to pity fragrance and cherish jade."

"Clone is exhausted."

After Xie Qin finished speaking lightly, he grabbed her wrist and said, "Since we met, we need to go to see him."

Yin Mingyu was a little more serious, followed him to King Ding, and bowed his knees respectfully. Because they went out in small clothes, they only called "you", not "His Royal Highness".

King Ding had noticed Xie Qin's attitude towards his wife, so he looked calm, nodded slightly, and said, "My daughter likes you very much. If she has nothing to do, she will come and go often."

Whether you want to "come often" in the future, we will talk about it at that time, and there is no need to refuse at the moment.

So Yin Mingyu humbly said a few words and answered all of them.

After seeing the ceremony, Yin Mingyu quickly said goodbye and left.

She looked for Caifan and found her aunt and Bai Zhixu.

Bai Zhixu was careful, saw the hairpin on her head at a glance, and asked, "Did my cousin just buy it?"

Only then did Yin Mingyu remember the flower on her head, and while taking it off, she returned to her: "No, it was given by someone else."

After all, it was the little lady's intention. After Yin Mingyu took it down, he carefully put it away.

On the other side, Xie Qin and King Ding did not walk the entire temple fair, and left here halfway through the journey, got on the carriage, and went to several other nearby temples.

Families in Beijing often set up porridge sheds in temples. The Xie family's porridge shed this year has not stopped because of the embroidery shop.

Prince Ding's mansion also had a porridge shed, which was not located in a conspicuous temple. Instead, it was located near a land temple farther away from Beijing.

The carriage stopped far away not far from the Temple of Earth, and after settling, the thick carriage curtain was slightly lifted, and looking at the people outside the temple with shabby clothes lining up to take porridge with bowls, he sighed with emotion: "There was a heavy snow a few days ago, how many places are there nearby? In every village, several houses of the common people were crushed by the snow, and when this king found out, he could only do his best."

King Ding was weaker than King Cheng and King Heping in the court, and he had always been unable to publicize it, but he also had a plan to take Xie Qin for a walk, in order to inadvertently show that he had a benevolent heart.

Xie Qin followed King Ding and praised a few words.

He is a man of few words, and his words of praise are extremely brief. Although a rare praise from a person like him will appear more sincere, it is inevitable that people will not be interested in hearing it.

Moreover, being too deliberate is the opposite.

Therefore, King Ding did not say much, quietly watching the various expressions of all beings displayed by the people not far away, and ordered the return journey.

On their way back to Huguo Temple, they had to take a mountain road. In other seasons, this mountain road is still wide and easy to walk, but in winter, it is snowed, so they can only walk along the trails and ruts stepped by pedestrians, walking very slowly.

The sky was getting dark, and there were no pedestrians at this time, except for them, the surroundings were silent.

The carriage and the guards passed through a mountain col, and just as they approached the side of the mountain, they heard a swift and sharp bird call, and suddenly rain-like arrows were shot from the mountain. People jumped up and charged at their convoy with knives in hand.

"There are assassins!"

"There are assassins!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

On the carriage of the horse, arrows suddenly penetrated, and several of them were about to shoot at King Ding. He taught Xie Qin to hoist up the square table in the middle, which could be blocked.

King Ding panicked for a moment and forced himself to calm down. Seeing that not only the advantageous arrows continued to shoot through the carriage, but also the long knives were inserted, he said anxiously: "Jing Ming! You can't stay in the carriage and wait for death!"

Xie Qin held the square table leg with one hand, separated the arrow and the blade, then handed it to King Ding as a shield, and jumped out of the carriage.

The coachman had already been shot and fell to the ground, the two horses in front of the carriage were also restless, a steady stream of arrows were being shot, and the guards were struggling to resist the numerous assassins, so they didn't have time to look after him.

In an instant, Xie Qin became concerned, pulled the reins, and shouted, "Drive!"

"drive!"

Inside the carriage, King Ding held the table with both hands, blocking the murder weapon at the left and right rear. The carriage suddenly moved forward, and he was unsteady and stumbled onto the carriage.

A knife was just inserted into the place where he was standing just now. King Ding was dizzy and had lingering fears.

Outside the carriage, Xie Qin concentrated on driving, unable to safely dodge every arrow that came, and his left shoulder was injured by the arrow.

However, he didn't care about the injury at this time, and only tried his best to drive the horse and take King Ding to get rid of the assassin as soon as possible.

The carriage galloped, shaking violently, and King Ding staggered to the door, when suddenly the carriage made a sharp turn, and King Ding was thrown into the carriage again.

When his eyes darkened, he heard Xie Qin say "offended, Your Highness", and was dragged out of the carriage.

When King Ding reacted again, he was already stuck in the snow from head to toe, feeling the people chasing and killing above his head galloping, he didn't dare to move.

It wasn't until there was no movement around for a long time that King Ding cautiously said, "Jing Ming?"

After a while, a weak but calm voice sounded from his left side, "Your Highness, come out."
