Yuanning Hou Mansion, Luoyue Pavilion.

The moonlight is hazy, the sound of the piano is faint, and the exquisite timbre of the Jiaowei Qin is scattered around the courtyard, which is intoxicating.

Suddenly, a murmur overflowed, and then the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a faint sigh was heard.

Looking at the frowning brows of the second young lady, the first-class maid Huan Cuihuan also frowned, and still persuaded in a soft voice: "Miss, take a break, you have been playing all night, don't hurt your fingers." ”

In late autumn, the cold autumn is deep into the bone marrow, and the second lady has been sitting for a long time, and she also feels a chill on her body. She shrunk her shoulders and moved her somewhat stiff hands, Cuihuan hurriedly took a cloak and put it on her, with a little complaint in her tone: "Madame is really, knowing that this water cloud is extremely difficult to play, and it is extremely distracting, but she has to let Miss play this song at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and the congratulatory gift, hasn't Madame already made up for it?"

The second lady smiled quietly: "Mother has her own mother's arrangement. According to the practice of previous years, the sisters of each province will definitely show their skills at the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, if I don't have a skill, how can I win the crowd and win face for my mother?"

Cuihuan sighed softly. The eldest lady is such a competitive person, she has to compete for the first place in everything, and she doesn't have to force her daughter to fight with her, which really hurts her own young lady.

The second lady saw Cuihuan's thoughts, shook her head slightly, and said, "I can't blame my mother, I know that my mother is also good for me." Over the years, my mother has worked hard and exhausted for our brothers and sisters, and if I can't understand her, I will really be ashamed of being a son. ”

Speaking of which. The second young lady's gaze darkened. In fact, she is very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she felt more and more guilty about the painstaking work she knew, and on the other hand, she couldn't agree with her mother's unscrupulous actions. I always think about it. She couldn't help but wonder why she was born in the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and why she had such a mother with bloody hands.

Just like the Queen Mother's birthday banquet this time, she knew that her mother wanted to make herself a blockbuster at the banquet, satisfy the Queen Mother, and even attract the attention of the Prince. But, in her heart, she was reluctant.

Thinking of that moody prince. She felt a chill in her heart, and a coldness rose from the bottom of her heart. Does she really want to marry such a person? Does she really want to live with such a cold person for the rest of her life? She shuddered.

Why, exactly?

Why do some of those folk women be able to find a wishful husband and raise their eyebrows. The husband sings and the wife follows. Grow old together, and enjoy it. But what about her, why is her life so miserable?

In self-pity, a handsome and elegant face suddenly appeared in front of him. That face always has a warm smile, and that person's voice is always like the sunshine of spring and March, warm and pleasant. People can't help but indulge in it.

However, he went to the border. It's been more than half a month, and there has been no news. She couldn't eat enough, and she worried about his safety every day. It wasn't until recently that she finally got the news that he had returned to the capital. However, he was seriously injured.

Her heart was raised again, and she had been looking for an opportunity to go out of the house. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was approaching, and her mother came to supervise her homework from time to time, so she had to dispel this idea.

That person was so badly injured, I don't know if I have any worries about my life, and I don't know if I'm okay. Although he was a subordinate of the crown prince, what precious medicine did not exist? she still wanted to personally send him a bottle of medicine to show her concern.

The more the second lady thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she didn't want to play anymore, so she asked Cuihuan to take the piano and sit down in the warm pavilion. Cuihuan knew that the second lady had something to escort her, so she sent the other maids out, leaving her on duty.

Seeing that Cuihuan had covered the door, the second young lady hurriedly asked her to come closer and asked, "You went out in the evening, did you hear anything? Is there any news from the Wumuhou Mansion?

Cuihuan hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, wait for the slave to speak slowly." ”

The second lady couldn't wait, and said hurriedly: "You should say it quickly." ”

Cuihuan shook his head: "General Lu's situation is not very good. ”

The second young lady's heart "Gordon" for a moment, and sank, "You mean, he will"

Before the word "death" came out, Cuihuan had already interrupted her: "Miss, don't worry, don't scare yourself." Who is General Lu, he is the top master of our Jokhang Kingdom, the deputy commander of the hussar battalion, with superb martial arts, and his internal cultivation is not a problem, this body is very good, he will not die, not to mention the life-saving Shennong tweed. ”

There are Shennong flowers in Wumuhou's mansion all the year round, and this second lady knows it. General Lu, as the eldest son of Wu Muhou, doesn't give him this life-saving medicine, who else can he use it?

Cuihuan said: "He is the prince's subordinate general, he has an accident, the prince can ignore it, according to the news from the Wumu Hou Mansion, the prince has sent ten Shennong flowers over, and has saved General Lu's life." ”

The second young lady's heart was beating violently, and when she thought of the person who was covered in wounds, her heart felt like she had been stabbed several times, and it hurt dullly.

She grabbed Cuihuan's hand and said worriedly: "Didn't you say that Cuihuan had superb martial arts and extremely high internal cultivation? Why could he be so seriously injured that he almost lost his life? What did he do on this trip to Jiangzhou?"

Cuihuan hurriedly comforted: "Miss, don't worry, General Lu is the deputy commander of the hussar battalion, and the hussar battalion is under the jurisdiction of the prince. ”

The second lady lost her voice and said, "You mean the big case that happened in Fanjiang recently?"

Cuihuan nodded: "The slave maid has a cousin, who served as a guardian in the Wumuhou Mansion, he told the slave maid that this time, in order to suppress those water bandits in Fanjiang, the prince led the entire hussar battalion to go, and together with General Tong of Jicheng, the rampant water bandits there were wiped out, I heard that those water bandits are very powerful, all of them are people in the rivers and lakes, strong in martial arts, the hussar battalion suffered heavy casualties, General Qin Lu was also seriously injured, and even the prince himself was also injured......"

The second lady's eyes couldn't help but widen: "The prince is also injured?"

Cuihuan nodded and said: "You know the style of the prince, he has always taken the lead and acted resolutely. I heard that the battle of Fanjiang was personally commanded by the prince, not only that, but the prince also went to danger alone, and dealt with those frantic robbers on the kidnapped passenger ship, and successfully rescued all the trapped people, but he himself was unfortunately hit by the sword, and the sword was pierced an inch away from the heart, if it was a little later, maybe the prince would ......"

Speaking of this, Cuihuan found herself saying some unlucky things and was busy talking.

She had long heard that the battle of Fanjiang was very tragic and that the entire Fanjiang River was dyed red, but she did not expect that the noble and abnormal prince would go out in person and almost die in Fanjiang. This made her impression of the arrogant prince change a little.

"Then isn't the Queen Mother worried about death?" the second lady thought for a while and said.

Cuihuan nodded, "Of course." However, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and she is not chaotic in the face of danger, so she blocked the news and was not allowed to spread it. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the birthday banquet will be held as usual, and the prince will also attend at that time. ”

"I see. The second lady couldn't help but secretly admire the current queen mother, even if her favorite grandson had an accident, she still covered it up so well for the stability of the society. (To be continued......)
