Le Xian didn't speak, she had her reserve, but a smile flashed in her bright eyes. Qingfang and Xing'er are just insignificant chess pieces, and if they are gone, they are gone. As long as she Xiao Lexian is still in a stable position in the Xiao family, how many of these things that can be bought for a few taels of silver can she want, can Xiao Leyu kill all the minions of the entire Xiao family?

The victory or defeat between the two of them was not in these small details, because she didn't care.

As for the marriage, Le Xianjiao's eyes are covered with a layer of mist ripples, she is the proud daughter of the sky, how can ordinary people be worthy of it? Xiao Leyu, not to mention the royal family, even the ordinary princess and the marquis will not look down on her like this.

Le Xian thought about this, and casually took off the eight-treasure ring on her hand and handed it to Mrs. Xia, "You have been wronged in this matter, don't worry, I won't let her be proud." ”

Xia Pozi took the ring and kowtowed gratefully before going out.

The spring is gradually bright, the cold is gone, and the depression of the garden is gradually replaced with new green.

Ji Shuyu sat slowly under the corridor in a white robe and watched the spring color, painting a little green shoots and clusters of red flowers lightly.

Lihuan's steps were light, and he came towards him with a full heart, and chuckled: "You are so interested today, do you have the heart to paint?"

When Ji Shuyu saw her coming, she got up and smiled respectfully: "Sister-in-law." ”

The two talked and laughed for a few words, Ji Shujie saw that Lihuan was a little absent-minded, and after a little thought, she knew that she had something to find her, so she couldn't help but be silent, stopped her pen and said, "Sister-in-law might as well say something directly?"

Lihuan hesitated for a long time but gritted his teeth and said: "The emperor intends to set a marriage for you and Ancheng on March 3, and ask me and your eldest brother about their intentions." I said I'm going to ask you, it's been perfunctory for the time being, but it won't be long. What do you think?"

Ji Shuju's wolf dipped in full ink paused on the painting, and a drop of thick ink dripped in a tender green willow leaf, which was extremely conspicuous, and immediately ruined the whole painting.

Ji Shuyu smiled bitterly, took off the painting and slowly tore it in half and threw it into the wastebasket, he hung his head, his handsome face was helpless, bitter and unwilling. Lihuang sat down beside him lightly, sighed, and said, "The royal family of Qinghai has all married Dayong, that's it. Dayong is not completely at ease. You will be the king of Qinghai in the future, and I am afraid that the position of the concubine must be a Dayong woman. Anseong is also a good girl......"

Ji Shuyu interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, I know that Princess Ancheng is gentle and dignified. But I ......"

Lihuang raised an eyebrow. I didn't mind his rudeness, but became more and more soft: "What about you? If you fall in love with other girls, as long as it is a noble woman of Dayong's status, I will say Xiang from the middle, and the emperor will agree if he wants to come, but why is it the daughter of the Xiao family? Besides, Xiao Si himself refuses, so why bother?"

Ji Shuyu looked at the spring light in the court. I vaguely saw the thin figure standing alone in the snowy night in front of me, and a wry smile appeared on my lips. knew that she was unwilling, but he couldn't let it go, and was willing to use his marriage to fulfill the duties of the king of Qinghai.

Lihuan said bitterly, "Xiao Si is not as cold, arrogant and simple as you imagined, she is far more complicated than what you see." Jiang Mengyao's affairs, the affairs of the Miguo Mansion, there are her shadows everywhere, although I dare not conclude that she did it, but she absolutely can't get out of it. Such a scheming woman who carries too much is not suitable for you at all. ”

Ji Shuyu lowered his eyes a little sadly, didn't he know? He actually knew it, he knew that she was not an ordinary boudoir weak, and he knew that she had scheming and means.

However, he still saw the side she didn't want to be seen, so simple and pure, they were actually the same, living in such a circle, you can't help but be celibate, but Ji Shuyu still felt that the woman's real heart was still as clean as ice and snow, such a woman just moved his heart, but he was completely hopeless. What could he do?

Seeing that Ji Shuyu was silently resisting himself in such a silent posture, Lihuang couldn't help frowning and looking at Ji Shuju, her eyes were full of disappointment, and she said in a low voice: "She is unwilling to go to Qinghai with you, she has already rejected you, what is the point of your waiting? If you push this time, what about the next time? It's not Ancheng but someone else, your eldest brother's health is getting worse and worse, Qinghai will be handed over to you sooner or later, do you want to let Qinghai and Dayong have cracks and dislikes because of your feelings? ”

I don't know when Lihuan left, Ji Shuyu sat under the porch and didn't move, until the sun set in the west, and when night fell, his heart was full of struggle and self-blame. In the past, he had never moved his heart for anyone, so he didn't think it was so difficult to fulfill the obligation of the king of Qinghai to marry a Dayong woman, but now, why did he feel that his heart was painful and boring?

Ji Shuyu smiled self-deprecatingly, he still shaved his head and was hot, why bother? But people live for a lifetime, and they always have to be arbitrary, isn't it?

Rubbing his numb legs, he stood up, picked up the pen with a resolute gaze, wrote a few words on the drawing paper, folded them and sealed them in the brocade box, and summoned the attendants: "Send it to the Great Sima Mansion and hand it over to the four girls." ”

Le Yu received the letter an hour later, and it could be seen that the other party wrote in a hurry, but the handwriting was still flowing like a cloud, handsome and elegant: "Spring is blowing on the railing, and people will not return when they step on Qingshan." The day after tomorrow, I sincerely invite the four girls to Yunwu Mountain to taste the clear spring wild tea in the mountains, I don't know if it is possible?"

Le Yu pinched the letter and hesitated, she wanted to refuse, but she knew that Ji Shuyu would never send this letter for no reason, he was not a person who did not know how to avoid suspicion. After thinking about it for a long time, Le Yu sighed lightly, "Zhuji, go and tell the people who come that I will definitely go to the appointment on time." ”

Letters are the easiest to tell the truth, and Le Yu threw the letter into the brazier, watching the tongue of fire lick the letter to ashes, with no intention of replying to the letter.

After lunch, Le Yu told Gu that she wanted to go out the day after tomorrow, only saying that she was going with Yizhen, Gu thought about it and agreed, there was an accident in the Hengzhu Guogong Mansion, and no one should be unfavorable to Le Yu.

When Le Yu came back from Yaohuaju, she asked Zhuji to go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion in person, and invited Yizhen to go to Yunwu Mountain together, and Yizhen readily agreed.

When the day came, Le Yu went out of the house to pick up Yizhen at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion first, and the two of them took a car together and slowly went to Yunwu Mountain. In the car, Le Yu whispered to Yizhen, Yizhen was very surprised, "Fulinghou, how could he ask you out?" She and Ancheng are cousins, Ancheng will marry Ji Shuyu, she has also heard about it, and she is a little uncomfortable.

Le Yu pulled Yizhen's hand apologetically, "Don't worry, I know in my heart that Ancheng is also my friend." ”

Yizhen thought about it, Le Yu didn't have any other friends, otherwise she wouldn't have invited herself to be an embarrassing shield, such a thing Le Yu pulled herself, obviously trusting herself very much. She knows Le Yu's nature very well, and she will not blame Le Yu, but she is a little dissatisfied with Ji Shuju, and she is about to marry An Cheng, what do you ask Le Yu to go out for?

Le Yu still helped Ji Shuyu explain, saying that he must have other reasons, and Yizhen stopped holding on to this matter in disbelief.

Yunwu Mountain is farther than Luoji Mountain, and one south and one north, Kyoto nobles like to go to Luoji Mountain to play, Yunwu Mountain is steep, more favored by ordinary people, literati and students.

At the foot of the mountain, Ji Shuyu had already ridden his horse and waited, with only two guards and his personal follower Ji'an.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, so a few people abandoned the carriage and walked up the mountain on foot, enjoying the spring color. Yizhen saw that Ji Shuyu's demeanor was polite, and although her eyes were a little hot for Le Yu, she was also extremely restrained, and when she saw that she was not ashamed or embarrassed, the dissatisfaction in her heart lightened a little.

Although it is only spring, the wild camellia on the mountain is still blooming brilliantly. Clusters of clusters, pink and white, red and purple, gorgeous as clouds, the heart of the hope is relaxed.

There is a tea house halfway up the mountain, which specializes in selling the unique Yunwu wild tea in Yunwu Mountain, and the taste is also novel, which attracts many people.

The tea room is separated by a bamboo curtain, but there is no wall or window at the back, and it goes straight out to become a terrace, and you can see the green and colorful at a glance, which is quite elegant and natural.

A few people sat down in the tea room, and the old man who sold tea greeted him with a smile and offered freshly brewed tea and snacks and withdrew with interest.

Le Yu saw that the color of the tea was green, and the buds were stretched in the clear tea, which was very pleasing to the eye, so she couldn't help but take a sip of it, the entrance of the tea was slightly astringent, and the aftertaste was slightly turned on the tip of the tongue, but it was fragrant and refreshing, sweet and refreshing, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, Sister Yizhen, this tea is not bad, you can also taste it." ”

Yizhen tasted it and said with a smile: "It's really good, I heard that the tea in this Yunwu Mountain is wild, and no one takes care of it, so it is left to passers-by to pick it by themselves, and the most peculiar thing is that it does not need to be fried, it can be used directly by roasting and drying." I'm itching, so I might as well pick some of the most tender ones and take them back and mix them with other dried tea leaves and flowers to make tea cakes. You sit down for a while, and I'll pick some back. ”

Le Yu knew Yizhen's thoughtfulness, and smiled apologetically, "It's okay, it's just a wild fun, just pick it casually, come back soon." ”

When Ji Shuyu saw Yizhen coming with him, he was also secretly annoyed by his lack of consideration, and when he saw Yizhen taking the initiative to avoid it, he was even more ashamed, and bowed deeply and said, "There is Miss Lao Miao." ”

Yizhen smiled understandingly, bowed in return, and got up to go out.

In the tea room, only Le Yu and Ji Shuyu were left sitting opposite each other, and the long entourage guards were all sent out, but Qingmei was stunned behind Le Yu, and she had no intention of going out.

Ji Shuyu didn't care, she sat casually and laughed with Leyu over tea, and her eyebrows were all calm and free.

After renewing the tea a few times, Ji Shuyu rubbed the fine white tea cup and said in a low voice: "The emperor intends to make a marriage for me and Princess Ancheng on the third day of March,,,,,"

The smile on Le Yu's lips did not decrease for half a minute, but the hand holding the tea cup tightened, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, then I will congratulate you in advance, and then I will give a congratulatory gift." ”

After Ji Shuyu said those words, her heart hung in the air, expecting what Le Yu would say, but also a little afraid to hear what she would say next. Seeing that Le Yuyun was light and breezy, Ji Shuyu smiled bitterly, picked up the tea and drank it all as if he was drinking. (To be continued.) )
