Chapter 147: Friends and foes appear
Cao Guiren watched Concubine Song leave, pouted, frowned, snorted twice, and said in a low voice, "In the past, I relied on Your Majesty's love, and my mother's family was arrogant and domineering in the palace, and I still dare to look like this in the palace of the Queen Mother!"
The Queen Mother tilted her head sideways and glanced at Cao Guiren.
She was a little more happy about this Cao nobleman.
The queen mother has been in the harem for many years, so she naturally understands the most, and the most commendable person is a straightforward person like Cao Guiren.
Thinking about it, she looked at Lu Yunxi and said softly, "Xi'er, you are the same age as Cao Guiren, you can move around a lot." ”
Lu Yunxi and Cao Guiren also looked at each other and smiled, and nodded one after another.
"Queen Mother. ”
Mama Lu leaned into the Queen Mother's ear with a little joy and said softly, "The Fifth Prince is back." ”
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly emitted a little brilliant light.
The fifth prince Shangguan Fang lost his mother at an early age, and grew up under the knees of the queen mother since he was a child.
The Queen Mother hurriedly said to Mama Lu, "Quick, hurry up and call Fang'er in." ”
Rao is a noble Cao nobleman, and he has never seen these five princes.
I only heard that this person looks good, handsome and chic, in the past, he was Wen Taowu in the palace, and now he has been practicing at the border for so many years, and he has a little more manliness.
Thinking about it, she also stretched out her head and looked in the direction outside the door.
After a while, I saw Mama Lu leading a dignified man into the hall.
The man has a pair of flat eyebrows, under the thick eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes, the bridge of the nose is high, the cheeks are angular, the skin is slightly rough, and he walks in a tiger's style.
He walked straight into the house, knelt on one knee, and saluted the Queen Mother, "Fang'er greets grandmother." ”
The Queen Mother, supported by Mama Lu, stood up tremblingly, narrowed her eyes, walked down slowly, stretched out a pair of hands, and helped Shangguan Fang, "Fang'er, you're back." ”
Shangguan Fang also stared at the Queen Mother with a happy face, "Grandmother, I returned to Beijing yesterday, and today I went to the study to report my work, and I came to see you." ”
The Queen Mother patted the back of Shangguan Fang's hand, revealing a little joyful.
She turned her head sideways, glanced at Lu Yunxi, waved her hand, and called her forward.
"This is Xi'er, my step-grandson. ”
Shangguan Fang's gaze fell on Lu Yunxi's body, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a while.
She lowered her head, lowered her eyes, the corners of her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her skin was like congealed fat, her lips were red and her teeth were white, she saluted herself slightly, and said softly, "Say hello to the fifth prince." ”
The voice was soft, soft as boneless, and when it fell on Shangguan Fang's ears, half of his body was even softer.
"Hurry up, please. ”
Shangguan Fang hurriedly stretched out his hand and was about to help Lu Yunxi.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother coughed twice, "Fang'er." ”
Shangguan Fang withdrew his hand at this time, rubbing his side awkwardly, revealing an embarrassed look, "On the way back to Beijing, I heard that my grandmother had taken in a righteous grandson, and I didn't expect it to be such a heavenly person." ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she also laughed, "This kid is used to flamboyant tongue and make people happy." Xi'er is not only beautiful, but the Dyeing Pavilion she takes care of is well-known in the capital. ”
Shangguan Fang just nodded blankly, still staring at Lu Yunxi.
Seeing him like this, Lu Yunxi was a little embarrassed.
She saluted, only saying that she entered the palace yesterday, and a lot of things were sent to the house to pack today, so she said goodbye and left.
Cao Guiren saw that the Queen Mother wanted to talk to Shangguan Fang, and it was not good to stay long.
"Grandmother. ”
Seeing Lu Yunxi leave Shangguan Fang's eyes, he slowly retracted and looked at the Queen Mother, "Will this Xi'er girl really stay in the palace in the future?"
"Naturally. Your father sent you to the border, there was no one around me, she stayed with the mourning family, and the mourning family also had a sustenance in their hearts. ”
The smile on Shangguan Fang's face was even stronger, his eyes were frowning, and he nodded lightly, full of joy and his expression was relaxed and happy.
Since Shangguan Fang came to see the Queen Mother that day, he has been looking for a reason every day in the past few days.
Every time, after seeing the Queen Mother, he would find some reason to meet Lu Yunxi.
The Queen Mother was happy that the two were so close, and she never stopped them.
This Shangguan Fang has been at the border for so many years, and he can be regarded as a well-informed person, and he always seems to have endless stories.
And since Lu Yunxi came here, he has been trapped in the capital all day long, every day he is either worried about his livelihood, or he is irritable about those things that you fight for, but he is also happy to listen to Shangguan Fang talk about things outside.
After going back and forth, the two got acquainted with each other a lot.
In the afternoon of this day, Shangguan Fang came to greet the Queen Mother as before.
"Grandmother, I got a few pieces of new fabric and want to use them to make some clothes for Xi'er, where is she?"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes frowned lightly, revealing a kind smile, "This girl has been studying what jade cream for the past two days, and she is in the courtyard." ”
"Then I'm ......"
Shangguan Fang raised his hand as he spoke, pointed in the direction outside the house, and said hesitantly.
Hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled, the corners of her eyebrows twitched slightly, and nodded, "Go, go, go." What is the attraction of this old lady to you now? ”
Shangguan Fang only said a few words, and then ordered the little servant to bring his things and go to the garden.
"Queen Mother, the fifth prince is very interested in Miss Xi'er. Speaking of which, the fifth prince has also reached the age when he should discuss his relatives. ”
After listening to Mama Lu's words, the Queen Mother's eyes were a little worried, staring at the direction where Shangguan Fang left.
How could she not see Shangguan Fang's heart for Lu Yunxi?
However, in the hall that day, this Si Tingyan also took special care of Lu Yunxi, and everyone with a discerning eye could see that he was also deeply affectionate towards Lu Yunxi.
Shangguan Fang arrived in the courtyard and looked around, but saw Lu Yunxi sitting at the stone table at the end of the corridor with Hongyan, immersed in researching something.
Seeing this, Shangguan Fang stepped forward slowly.
Hong Aya saw Shangguan Fang from afar, and was about to inform Lu Yunxi, but saw Shangguan Fang's hand on his lips and made a silent gesture.
Shangguan Fang slowly leaned behind Lu Yunxi, suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Lu Yunxi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yunxi was shocked, let out an "ah", and threw the thing in his hand on the ground with a "clang".
Shangguan Fang glanced at the things on the ground, but he smiled, took two steps back, sat on the corridor, and smiled backwards.
Lu Yunxi looked at the things that had been sprinkled on the ground, raised his head unhappily, stared at Shangguan Fang, and did not forget to point to the box on the ground with one hand, "Fifth prince, do you know that this contains precious medicinal materials such as Codonopsis and He Shou Wu. It's all sprinkled, it's all sprinkled!"
