Chapter 030: Uninvited Guest
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the name of the gift list received in the palace today. β
Lan Xin stood respectfully behind the Duobao Pavilion, holding a thin booklet in his hand, and was taking off the desolate piano cover day and night, and raised his chin to signal the desk in front of him, "I know, put it down." β
Lan Xin took two steps closer, put the gift slip in the corner of the desk, and raised his eyes to look at Tianhuang, who had already exposed half of the body.
Seeing her, Chaoxi said calmly, "My father wants to listen to the piano, but I'm afraid that he will enter the palace to perform in the near future." β
Lan Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, "The queen was a master of the piano back then, and she still remembers the peerless style." β
Chaoxi raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Xin, "I'm afraid that there are very few people who remember." β
Lan Xin smiled, "How come, there is only one heavenly desolation in the whole world, and there is only the queen who can be worthy of the heavenly desolation, but anyone who has seen the queen play the piano will not forget jΓ¬, the slave has never thought that he can see the desolation again." β
Lowering her eyes day and night, she is in a hurry, she has not wiped the desolation for a few days, although the desolation is properly maintained without a trace of dust, but only when she touches the cold piano surface she feels stable, she was only four years old when she left Baling when she left the palace, even if she was talented, but she still had a vague impression of many things back then, and Lan Xin was the person assigned to her by the inner house, the master in her mouth was her, and no one knew who the master in her heart was, the princess's mansion seemed to be her luxurious barrier, but she couldn't be careless.
"Won't the princess look at this list?"
Seeing that she had been wiping the piano, Lan Xin couldn't help but speak, and raised her eyebrows, could it be that there was something strange about this gift list?
He turned around and sat down and picked up the gift list.
Day and night got the canonization, and got the reward of independent construction, which is unprecedented in Shu in recent years, so someone must come to give gifts to express their hearts, but day and night have not yet entered the genealogy, the identity is embarrassing, these people will not be too out of line to give gifts, in this case, where did it make an old man like Lan Xin fall in love?
Turning the first page, looking at the strange and familiar clan names Chaoxi, the corners of his lips gradually tightened, although the ceremony arrived, but as Chaoxi thought, there was no deliberate goodwill, with her now, it is impossible for anyone to show sincerity, looking at the past page by page, there is no wave on Chaoxi's face, until the last page, her eyes suddenly froze!
Looking at her expression, Lan Xin smiled slightly, "The Sun family also sent a gift." β
The Sun family, which is not much different from the Duan family.
There are many clans in Shu, among which the Duan clan is the head, followed by the famous family such as the Sun family and the Yang family, and there are people in power in the court and the opposition in the clan, not to mention in the harem, most of the gifts this time are medium clans to express the number of gifts, such as the Duan family and the Yang family and other first-class nobles are not among them, but there is the Sun family......
Chaoxi squinted at Lan Xin, "Tell me what you think?"
The corners of Lan Xin's lips curled slightly, "The slave is stupid and doesn't dare to speak well, but this Sun family is now under the Duan family, and Mrs. Sun in the palace has lost her only son this time, I am afraid that she knows that her queen's momentum is declining." β
Chaoxi squinted her eyes, and suddenly remembered that she met Mrs. Sun this morning, she also lost her children, Qin Meiren was grief-stricken, and this Mrs. Sun's love was very little exposed, Mrs. Sun was from a big family, and she was in such a high position as Mrs., her heart was naturally extraordinary, and this time this gift that didn't seem to be so rich did it mean anything else?
Put down the book day and night, "The Sun family is declining, Duan Lingyan is responsible for the death of the seventh prince this time, I am afraid that the Sun family will still hold the grudge on the head of the Duan family, as for this ceremony, it is probably just a formality to complete the number of courtesies." β
Lan Xin smiled lightly and nodded, "Her Royal Highness the princess is wise, and the slave retires." β
Morning and evening, Lan Xin bent down and retreated, Chaoxi's gaze fell on Lan Xin's back, and she walked out of the door before retracting, the footsteps at the door sounded, but it was Shen'er who walked in, and said to Chaoxi, "This person has been in the palace of Shu for thirty-seven years, and he has been in charge of the needlework department of the Inner Palace, and later got the queen's blue eyes and was assigned to the Shangbao Bureau, and has an excellent reputation in the palace, and the only one who has a connection is Zhaoren Palace, and this time the queen named her to do things." β
Shen'er spoke eloquently, and retracted her gaze and fell on the strings, "How is Fuzhong?"
Shen'er bowed her head again, "The master told her to do everything yesterday, and the slaves who were bought back this time are not suspicious, and our people have also been inserted, in addition, a person with unclean hands and feet was driven out of the kitchen today." β
Chaoxi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to see the furnishings in this house, this mansion has been renovated, and every furnishing in the house is new, and every thing is prepared by Lan Xin's hands, looking at it every day, I feel that every place is very pleasing to the eye, this is not easy for her, is Lan Xin too aware of her, or is it a coincidence?
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, drink the medicineβ"
Zixing's voice suddenly sounded at the silent door, and she walked in with a bowl of medicine in a blue dress, probably finding that the atmosphere in the room was a little calm, and the pace under her feet suddenly slowed down, and she glanced at the morning and evening and Shen'er in the room in a daze before she said, "Your Highness, you, are you talking about things?"
Shen'er curled her lips slightly and took a step back, shaking her head in the morning, "Take it!"
Zi Wei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Mr. Tang's medicine is not so bitter this time! It may be that His Highness's body is better, but the slave still prepared this ...... for His Highness."
Zi Wei put the medicine bowl in front of the case, and immediately took out a small ebony box from his sleeve, the box was very familiar with Chao Xi, and naturally knew what was in it, Zi Wei opened the box and put the medicine bowl together, with a smile like offering treasure on his face, and he touched the preserved fruit inside for the face, and picked up the medicine bowl and drank it.
Zi Wei looked at Chaoxi with satisfaction, and kept turning her head to look at the direction of the princess's mansion gate outside the window, the more she looked at it, the more her brows furrowed, as if she was anxiously waiting for something, and she put down the medicine bowl and saw her like this, "What's wrong?"
The corners of Zi Ying's lips pursed slightly, "Why hasn't His Royal Highness the Prince of the World come today?"
Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "He has his own business, why do you have to come?"
Zi Wei was a little anxious, "But His Royal Highness the Prince should come to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince came to see Her Royal Highness the Princess early yesterday morning, and then the person who sent Her Royal Highness the Princess back disappeared, shouldn't she come today?"
Chaoxi shook his head helplessly, but his face was not showing any emotion, he paused and frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered Shang Jue's abnormality when he left yesterday, what happened to make Shang Jue show something unusual......
After thinking for a moment, seeing that Ziyun was still looking outside, he had no choice but to say, "He has his business, he doesn't have to come over, his identity and status are there, and there should be many people in Baling who want to visit him." β
Zi Ying's brows were still wrinkled, as if she was complaining for Chaoxi, Chaoxi shook her head and smiled, and went to wipe the strings again, Zi Wei had to take the medicine bowl and the box containing the preserved fruit and prepared to retreat, but as soon as she turned around, footsteps sounded outside again, and then Lan Xin's voice sounded at the door, "Your Royal Highness Princess, there are guests visiting!"
Zixing's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this, and he stepped forward and asked, "But His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has come down?"
In the house, Chaoxi and Shen'er also raised their eyebrows and looked at the door, but the three of them did not wait for Lan Xin's answer, but waited for a low laugh, and the expressions of the three changed together, it was not Shang Jue who came!
"Looks like you're waiting, I'm sorry I've been an uninvited guest!"
The person who came said with a smile, Chaoxi put down the Tianhuang and stood up, Zi Xi turned around and glanced at Chao Xi at a loss, and saw that Chao Xi straightened his dress and was walking to the door, Zi Xi hurriedly let go to the side, and followed Chao Xi to the door.
Walking out of the door, there was a young man in a luxurious blue shirt standing in the grassy courtyard, Zi Wei didn't recognize this person but recognized it, she frowned slightly, and she had already opened her mouth here, "How can the eighth prince be an uninvited guest?"
The person who came was Feng Yu, the eighth prince of Shu Kingdom!
This person who had a relationship with each other yesterday will come to the princess's mansion today!
Not only were Zi Jing's eyes full of surprise, but he never thought of it.
The sixth prince Fengyuan was born to the queen, and now he has a very high reputation in the court, but the other sons are not much behind Fengyuan under the queen's control, including the fourth prince Fengyan who died in Huaiyin earlier, and the eighth prince Fengyu in front of him can be said to be the most unknown among the brothers, but he was the first to see her this time.
Chaoxi took a shallow breath, "Since you're here, please come in." β
Chaoxi's expression was indifferent, Feng Yu kept smiling, and when he heard this, he glanced at the foyer but said with a smile, "Today's spring is very good, why are you stuck in the house, why don't you go to Luoying Lake for a walk?"
Chaoxi squinted his eyes for a moment and nodded, "Okay, please here." β
Feng Yu smiled even more, turned around and glanced at his scholar, "You follow from afar." β
The scholar in the back nodded, Feng Yu went to the direction of Luoying Lake first, he was very familiar with this mansion, followed by day and night, Shen'er and Zi Wei glanced at each other, and Shen'er also stepped over with him, Zi Yu stood in place with his things, and watched the two of them walk away before looking at Lan Xindao with a smile, "This eighth prince that Aunt Lan recognizes?"
Lan Xin nodded, turned to look in the direction of Feng Yu and Chaoxi walking away, and sighed.
"Hey, this one, too, is a poor man. β
The scenery in the princess's mansion is amazing, and Feng Yu began to sigh before he took a few steps, "Shake the light, shake the light, sure enough, only this garden can be worthy of this title, I heard that there are cherry trees sent by Yan Shizi in the mansion? I don't know if the master can open the eyes of a country man like me? There is not a single cherry tree in the entire Shu country......"
Squinting his eyes, "The eighth prince is here to see the cherry trees?"
Feng Yu slowed down and turned around, the smile on his face was half a point, but his expression became focused, "Of course it's not to see the cherry trees, I'm naturally here to see you, but it looks like you're fine." β
Chaoxi frowned, Feng Yu said again, "You just returned to Baling, and you went through that incident yesterday, if other girls are only afraid of panic, but you don't seem to be frightened, although you are in front of me, but we are almost the same age, even now I have some heart palpitations when I think of Qin Meiren's appearance, aren't you afraid?"
Luoying Lake was close at hand, and he looked at the eighth prince in front of him fixedly, but he still didn't understand his intentions in his heart, and shook his head, "I've seen a lot of dead people, and it's not terrible like Qin Meiren." β
Feng Yu looked at Chaoxi's eyes a little strangely, as if he was surprised, but also seemed to pity, and only after a while did he hesitate to ask, "You, how are you ......doing well in Huaiyin and Zhao?"
"What do you think?"
Feng Yu pursed his lips, "I heard that you recognized the Marquis of Huaiyin as your father-in-law, he treats you as if you were your own child, as for the second son of Zhao Guo, he is afraid that everyone in the world knows about your favorite name." β
The corners of Chaoxi's lips looked at Feng Yu slightly, neither saying yes nor saying no, Feng Yu, who looked directly at Feng Yu without a smile, palpitated, he took a shallow breath, "No matter how you lived before, now that you are back, Baling, no one can bully you." β
He looked stunned when he said this, "However, you must not be careless." β
His expression was too solemn, and he raised his eyebrows day and night, "What do you say?"
Feng Yu looked left and right, and saw that there were no bystanders around, so he whispered, "Don't you really know who is going to deal with you after Qin Meiren's death yesterday?" You don't know, His Royal Highness the Prince must know that if I were you, I would have set a wedding date early to marry Yan Kingdom. β
Chaoxi pursed his lips, "How do you say this?"
Feng Yu gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "I'm afraid that your marriage date is too late, I'm afraid that you won't be able to marry Yan Guo!"
"Someone is trying to ruin my marriage?"
Chaoxi asked directly, Feng Yu looked away with a slight expression, "In short, Baling looks calm on the surface, but it is not a place for you to stay for a long time, and now there is a prince to protect you, but if there is no prince by your side, it will not be the same!"
Chaoxi frowned for a moment, "Why did you come to tell me this?"
Feng Yu re-lowered his gaze on Chaoxi's face, and lowered his head and smiled for a while, "It's all poor people." β
Chaoxi pondered for a moment, "I see." β
Feng Yu saw that her expression was a little solemn and turned to smile and look at the cherry blossom lake in spring, and sighed, "This lake scenery is very beautiful, I can't come for nothing this time, accompany me to go around?"
There is nothing to do, and he can't lose his manners, and he wants to know if this eighth prince has anything else to say, so he nodded, Feng Yu walked forward with great interest, but at this time he didn't say anything else, and after walking around, he just praised the good scenery, not to mention the matter of going to see the cherry trees, and when the two returned to the intersection when they came, Feng Yu didn't mention the previous words.
"Okay, your princess's mansion is the most dazzling right now, and I should leave too!"
Feng Yu smiled lightly from beginning to end, this time he came to this trip as if he had said something but didn't say anything, there was a layer of haze in his heart, he heard that he was going to leave, naturally he wouldn't stay longer, and he was about to nod and want to say something, but he saw Lan Xin suddenly appear not far away and say something to the attendant Shen'er, only to see that Shen'er walked towards them after listening to Lan Xin's words!
Chaoxi squinted his eyes and asked from afar, "What happened?"
Shen'er was not in a hurry to answer, and when she got closer, she saw a thin smile in her eyes.
"Master, the dowry of Yan Guo has entered Baling in advance. β
