Chapter 33: The Fallen Son

The official name of Situ Mansion is Weiguo Mansion, which was specially ordered by Emperor Gaozu to let the Ministry of Industry supervise the construction in order to reward Situ's founding achievements, in addition to the imperial palace in this Chang'an City, Weiguo Mansion is the largest mansion in area. However, because there are only a few masters in today's Situ Mansion, many courtyards are vacant and no one lives, although Qingyu Pavilion is also in the inner courtyard, but because it is a guest courtyard, it is a little far away from Qifuxuan, Situ Ningbing has never walked fast, and when he walked to Qingyu Pavilion like a garden, Ding Yihong had already placed all the luggage and belongings, and was sitting in the middle hall of the main room with Ding Yiqing and Situ Qiming talking.

Seeing Situ Ningbing walking in, Situ Qiming was the first to jump up, walked up to her in two steps, pulled her and introduced her to Ding Yihong: "Sister Hong, this is what I often mention to you, my sister is alluring." "On the rules, Situ Ningbing's identity is above Ding Yihong and the master, no matter what, Situ Qiming should also introduce Ding Yihong to her first, but Situ Qiming never takes the rules and etiquette to heart, and Situ Ningbing doesn't care about these false etiquettes and doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.

On the other hand, Ding Yihong is a sensible person, and after listening to Situ Qiming's introduction, he hurriedly pulled Ding Yiqing to stand up from the arhat bed with auspicious ruyi patterns carved on mahogany and saluted Situ Ningbing.

Situ Ningbing gave a hand, and said with a polite smile: "Sister Hong doesn't have to be polite, I always heard the second brother mention that when he was in Mobei, General Mengding and Sister Hong took care of him many times, he had already regarded his sister as his own sister, and now that my sister is coming to our house, don't be restrained and be your own family." She was talking and looking at the delicate woman in front of her with a light purple shirt and lotus lotus color sprinkled skirt, and in her heart, Ding Yihong's appearance was better than Ding Yiqing, compared to her sister's angular face, Ding Yihong's facial contours were much softer, her eyes were bigger, her whole face looked a little rounded, she was shorter than Ding Yiqing, and Situ Ningbing was almost tall among the ladies in Chang'an City, plus she had a gentle and dignified temperament, but she was very housewife.

When Situ Ningbing was looking at Ding Yihong, Ding Yihong was also looking at her, when she was in Mobei, she often heard Situ Qiming mention her sister, and she was also a little curious about this Miss Situ in her heart, after all, if it weren't for an accident back then, she would be the crown princess standing in front of her now. Situ Ningbing wore a water-green cross-collared skirt today, with a goose-yellow brocade between her arms, a fallen horsetail on her head, and only a water-blue bird glass swaying obliquely, fresh and simple dress to her, but it has become a low-key luxury of extravagance, you don't need to do anything, just stand there quietly, you can make people can't take their eyes off. Ding Yihong admired and was a little ashamed of herself, although she grew up in Mobei, where the people were arrogant, but she also worked hard with her grandmother and female husband.

Ding Yiqing saw that Ding Yihong was only staring at Situ Ningbing and didn't speak, so she couldn't help but pull her sleeve and whispered, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Yihong came back to her senses and said unhurriedly: "Miss Situ is even better than Qiming said, I was stunned for a while." Saying that, Chong Situ Ningbing showed an apologetic smile: "Please don't be surprised, Miss." ”

Situ Ningbing saw that she was generous and reacted quickly, and he was satisfied with this Miss Ding for three points. "Sister Hong is too angry, just call me 'sister' like Sister Qing. ”

"Miss Domon doesn't give up, if I refrain any more, it will be hypocritical, then Xue Qing'er, this wild girl, will call you 'sister' again. Ding Yihong is not a twisted person, Situ Ningbing is interested in making friends, and the two quickly became familiar and intimate.

Situ Ningbing has already set up a chess piece here, and the opponent can't wait to drop the move.

In the octagonal pavilion in the back garden of the Qi Palace, Yang Yan had just finished playing a song and ambushed on all sides, and the widow of Xinna, Lu Shi, had already taken the tray with a bowl of thick medicinal juice from the maid, half-squatted in front of Yang Yan and said softly: "The prince should take medicine." ”

Yang Yan glanced at the white jade bowl that was smoking, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, suppressed the impatience in his heart and said in a voice that couldn't hear joy and anger: "Put it first, I'll drink it later." ”

"Lord Wang..."The Lu family wanted to say something more, but Chang Xiao, the number one maid beside Yang Yan, had already taken the tray in Lu's hand, and said expressionlessly: "The slave maid helps the lady take it." ”

Lu Shi looked at the unsmiling long smile and then at Yang Yan, who was ignoring her, lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "The poor concubine has retired." Then he got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the pavilion, Yang Yan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Wait." Yang Yan's voice was low and hoarse, perhaps because he was weak and sickly, his voice had never been high, so when Lu Shi heard him call her to wait, he almost thought that he had heard poorly, paused and was stunned before coming back to his senses, turned around happily and walked back to Yang Yan's side, and said softly: "What else does the prince command?"

Yang Yan didn't look up at her, his slender and slender fingers plucked the strings from moment to moment, and said casually: "Do you know about the affairs of Lord Shanghu Juntian's family?"

Lu Shi didn't understand what he was referring to, so he thought about it and asked with a little doubt: "What is the prince referring to?" Lu is not stupid, thinking that she is just a woman in the house, and the things in the court are naturally unknown, since the prince asked her, she must be a parent, and the most sensational news in Chang'an City a while ago was not Tian Shaofu, the son of the Tian family, openly courted a woman in a green house at the Midyear Festival Lantern Festival, and happened to be hit by his fiancée's maiden brother and taught him a hard lesson in front of so many people who watched the excitement, and later learned that the so-called maiden brother was the sister of Tian Gongzi's fiancée. At this time, Tian Gongzi's face can be regarded as a loss, after all, he was scolded ridiculously at most when he was young, but as a man, he was still a military general, and he actually lost to his sister-in-law in a competition of arrows, and the people in Chang'an laughed out of their big teeth for this! I heard that after the incident, Lord Tian and his wife personally took Tian Gongzi to Miss Ding Er, who lived in Situ Mansion, to take the blame and make them disgraced, and even the invitation of the Tian family under the post of King Wei was also a nose of ashes.

Yang Yi nodded, said lightly, and said: "I heard that Tian Gongzi's fiancée, Miss Ding, has come to Chang'an and lives in General Situ's mansion. ”

The Lu family was a little unsure why, what did the master ask her to ask Miss Ding to come over? wanted to ask, but Yang Yan had already waved his hand, "You go down." Seeing that he was a little impatient, Lu Shi didn't dare to ask any more questions, and respectfully answered "yes" and withdrew.

Yang Yan looked at a bare cherry blossom tree outside the pavilion with a pool of eyes, a treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he actually muttered to the tree: "It's not easy to be an iceman, it's better for senior brother to help you." ”
