9. Chapter 9

Liuxia Mountain is located in the eastern suburbs of the capital, the mountain is not high, but it is very wide, it is a good place for the children of the noble children of the capital to go for spring hunting, one of the areas is full of peach blossoms, it was bought by a wealthy businessman, it is a good pick-up, erect a fence to repair the road, build pavilions and pavilions, for the dignitaries and nobles to come to play with their daughters.

After entering the Taoyuan, the deeper you go, the fewer tourists there are nearby.

Wei Zhao led Tang Yu's sister and brother to the most secluded place, which was a place he accidentally found a few years ago, planted with old trees, thick and long, long branches intertwined with each other, weaving a sea of flowers overhead, the sun shines in from the middle of the petals, the circle of light is dotted, beautiful like a fairyland on earth.

It's just that this place is too far away from the entrance of the park, and it is almost noon, and the group slowly paced over, but fortunately, the flowers are blooming all the way, and the people who talk and laugh don't feel hard. Brother Qi is more comfortable, when he is tired, he will be carried by Wei Zhao, so he doesn't have to be sandwiched between his mother and eldest sister, and Brother Qi is very lively at this time.

When he arrived at the place, Wei Zhao put down Brother Qi, and Tang Yu saw that his face was covered with sweat, and gently reminded him to wipe it.

"You help me. Wei Zhao lowered his voice and looked at her expectantly.

Tang Yu directly led Brother Qi to walk a few steps away, bending down to help his younger brother wipe his sweat, Wei Zhao was envious and jealous, but he was helpless.

came out to play, the two of them drove lightly, except for the coachman who was guarding outside, Tang Yu brought Mo Lan to serve with him, and Wei Zhao only brought his long-term attendant Awu. When Tang Yu took care of Brother Qi, Ah Wu spread the mat in his hand under a peach blossom tree, and Mo Lan squatted beside him, first laying a small mat on the mat, then putting a few pastry boxes on it, and three bamboo tubes filled with water.

Brother Qi's stomach growled, Tang Yu was also hungry, and walked over to start eating.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

After eating, Brother Qi rested first, Tang Yu leaned against the trunk of the tree, looked up at the corner of the blue sky that the peach blossoms could not hide, and was relaxed.

"Do you like it?" Wei Zhao sat cross-legged beside her, she looked at the flowers and the sky, he kept staring at her side face that was more delicate than the peach blossoms, the skin was snowy, delicate and tender as if it could come out of the water by pressing it, Wei Zhao's chest rose again with a familiar impulse, wanting to touch her, kiss her, and hug her into his arms.

Tang Yu nodded, wanting to thank him, but turned his head, but bumped into the man's faint eyes, which contained tenderness, and some longings that Tang Yu seemed to understand.

Tang Yu was suddenly nervous, and he opened his eyes to persuade him, "You can also go over there to rest for a while, let's take a nap, wake up and go down the mountain." ”

"I'm not sleepy. Wei Zhao grabbed a dog's tail grass from the side and gently poked her face with the fluffy one, "Cousin, I want to take you to a place, not far from here." ”

Tang Yu snatched his dog's tail grass and played absentmindedly, "Why do you want to go there?"

"You'll find out when you go. Wei Zhao patted the hem of his clothes, walked around to the outside of the mat, and looked at her quietly.

Tang Yu bit his lip, stood up with the peach blossom tree, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Zhao smiling, just as he was standing in a piece of sunlight, the sun was bright, but in Tang Yu's opinion, the light was less than half a point of the brilliance in his eyes.

Go where you want to go with the people you like.

Tang Yu no longer resisted, and picked up his bamboo tube as a disguise. Wei Zhao whispered that she was smart, and then went over and asked Molan Awu to guard Brother Qi, and their cousins went to the stream to fetch water.

The place is indeed not far away, and it is only a short walk of tea to arrive.

Tang Yu saw an old peach tree that began to fork from the roots, growing from the same root, divided into two branches, each of which grew into a big tree that one person could not hold, seemingly separated, and the thick and thin branches of the branches gathered together again, and the peach blossoms were tender and brilliant, reflecting each other, and never abandoned.

Without Wei Zhao's explanation, Tang Yu understood the meaning of him bringing her over.

She stole a glance at the man beside her, sweetly walked under the peach blossom tree, and reached out to touch the rough bark of the peach tree.

"There's a word on the tree, look for it. Wei Zhao followed her inch by inch, the flower beauty was even more beautiful, and she was reluctant to look away.

Tang Yu was surprised, and walked around the two trees, looked up and down, but did not find it. She glanced at Wei Zhao, walked between the two trees, stepped on the uneven roots of the tree with her hands, lowered her head, and sure enough, she saw a line of small words on the bare bark exposed on the left: Cousin, wait for you to marry me, okay?

The crooked words should be drawn with a dagger, and it is impossible to pay attention to the handwriting, but Tang Yu knows that this is Wei Zhao's doing.

Looking at those two lines, she blushed and lowered her head in shame.

She knew that she would marry him, and it would be a matter of these two years to get married, but she didn't expect him to ask like this.

"Remember when we came here three years ago? I carved it secretly. Wei Zhao walked to the tree on the right, took out the sharp stone that had been prepared in his sleeve and handed it to her, "Cousin, I named this tree the Marriage Tree, you write the answer in your heart, I promise not to peek, at least not today." ”

Tang Yu looked at the orchid embroidery on the hem of his clothes, his red lips pursed, and he refused to answer, his face became redder and redder.

"I'll put it here, you write, I'll go behind the tree, and I won't peek. Wei Zhao knew that she was shy, so he put the stone into the gap in the upturned bark and turned to the other side.

The warm breeze was blowing, with a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, Tang Yu looked at the marriage tree in front of her, and looked at the words left by Wei Zhao three years ago, her heart beat faster and faster. Marriage tree, seeking marriage, marriage that only belongs to them, such a good scenery, such a simple and hot heart, how could Tang Yu not agree to him?

She picked up the slender stone, turned it, crouched down, propped up the tree with one hand, and reverently drew her answer, with her pen and pen with her heart.

After writing, Tang Yu put down the stone, stepped onto the flat ground, and went behind the tree to find Wei Zhao, "Let's go." ”

As soon as he took two steps, he heard Wei Zhao running to the other side, Tang Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately ran back, "Wei Zhao, you promised me not to see it!" blushed and blushed with shame.

"I only promise you not to peek, now I am looking openly!" Wei Zhao stepped between the two trees one step ahead of her, lowered his head, and saw that there was a delicate "good" there.

Wei Zhao was ecstatic and looked up at her.

Tang Yu was annoyed and angry, turned around angrily, and walked back quickly.

Wei Zhao panicked, hurriedly jumped down to catch up, stretched out his hand to stop in front of Tang Yu, his dark eyes were as bright as stars, "Cousin, you really agreed to marry me, I'm very happy, I happily don't want to go back tonight, stay here and sleep with a tree." ”

"Then don't go back. Tang Yu turned around and said coldly.

Wei Zhao knew that she was angry and he didn't believe his words, so he flatteringly pulled her cuffs from behind.

Tang Yu shook it off and took a few steps forward.

Wei Zhao caught up, this time he stared at her thin white little hand, nervously clenched his fist and released his fist and clenched his fist again, several times and three times, and finally mustered up the courage to grab her hand.

Seeing that it was about to be encountered, a black shadow suddenly turned out from behind the equally thick old tree next to the marriage tree, which was particularly abrupt in a pink flower. Wei Zhao was taken aback, put away his thoughts about getting close to his cousin, and quickly pulled Tang Yu behind him, only then did he look at the man in black, but when he recognized the identity of the other party, he frowned in shock.

"Lord Wang?"

Tang Yu didn't see who was coming, and when he heard Wei Zhao shouting the other party's prince, his heart instantly sank to the bottom.

After the rebellion in the past few years, there is now only one Duan King left in Daqi, and except for Song Qin, no one can be called a prince.

Why is he here?

Then did he listen to what she and Wei Zhao said?

Remorse and hatred, Tang Yu hated and clenched the veil, and secretly scolded Song Qin villain.

"What a pair of childhood sweethearts, concubines. Song Qin stood up, glanced at the so-called marriage tree with cold black eyes, looked at Wei Zhao again, and looked at the corner of the little girl's tender green clothes hiding behind him, "I just don't know how Jing Ninghou, who is loyal to the country in northern Xinjiang, will feel when he learns that the pearl in his palm is privately agreed with others for life and insults his family style." ”

The voice was calm, but the words were extremely sarcastic.

Tang Yu's face was as white as paper, although the two elders acquiesced to this marriage, what she had just done with Wei Zhao was indeed a private agreement for life, no one knew, Tang Yu would not regret and blame herself, let alone feel that she had done wrong, but in the eyes of outsiders, she did violate etiquette, and once Song Qin spread it, her reputation would be ruined.

"The prince's words are wrong, Weichen has already asked his uncle to marry his cousin, and his uncle has agreed, just wait for him to come back from the frontier and will start to prepare for the two family affairs, I and my cousin are happy, and my parents have permission, what I do today is to touch the scene, it is by no means a private life, and please be cautious. ”

Wei Zhao defended his cousin with a calm face, and without waiting for Song Qin to speak, he immediately asked: "The prince has a noble status, but Weichen has a word that does not vomit and is unhappy, since the prince is here, why don't he show up to meet him? ”

Song Qin sneered: "This king arrived first, I didn't blame you for disturbing this king Yaxing, what qualifications do you have to let this king come out to see you? Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, do you think this king is willing to listen to you Qingqing and me, I have dirty ears? Not showing up is to give Jingninghou face, give his daughter a little face, come out to see you, because I don't want to hear more foul language." ”

The more he spoke, the more unpleasant it became, Wei Zhao's face turned pale, and he was about to raise his feet and step forward to reason with Song Qin, Tang Yu lowered his head and ripped off his robe, and Gujing said without waves: "Cousin, let's go." ”

The body is not afraid of crooked shadows, but today they are in the front, Song Qin only needs to move out of the rites, he can give them more humiliation, Tang Yu doesn't want to listen to it anymore, and Song Qin is the king of Duan, the regent of the government and the opposition, once he is provoked, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

"Gone. Finally, Wei Zhao was called, and Tang Yu turned around and walked back and forth first.

Wei Zhao's breathing was heavy and heavy, but he was not so angry that he lost his mind, so he suppressed his anger and followed.

Song Qin looked at Tang Yu's slender and calm back, thinking of the gentleness, shyness, and delicate beauty she showed in front of Wei Zhao just now, her chest was inexplicably clogged.

He wasn't happy, and he couldn't tell why he wasn't.

Song Qin only knew that whoever made him unhappy, she didn't want to be happy.

"Miss Tang. Standing in place, Song Qin shouted coldly.

Tang Yu paused, his eyes staring ahead, and no one was looking.

Song Qin smiled, looked at her back who had obviously done something wrong but was still arrogant, and said lightly: "Miss Tang, last year, this king left the third princess in the palace, and there is actually no bottom in his heart, because there are no female dependents in the palace, this king is a little worried about the upbringing of the third princess, but today I met by chance, and saw with my own eyes the words and deeds of the first lady in the capital in the mouth of the queen mother, and the king couldn't help but be glad that he took the third princess out early." ”

In just a short paragraph, he denied Tang Yu and the Queen Mother at the same time.

"Insulting the Queen Mother, her crime should be punished!" Wei Zhao couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and walked towards Song Qin, staring at him deadly.

Song Qin remained motionless, his indifferent expression silently contemptuous of Wei Zhao, and he was overwhelmed.

Wei Zhao became more and more angry, Tang Yu suddenly ran up, stopped in front of Wei Zhao, and calmly saluted Song Qin, his eyes lowered: "Thank you for the teachings of the prince, Tang Yu must remember it, introspect every day, and never forget it." I just ask the prince to see that his father is loyal to the court, forget what he has seen and heard today, and avoid the reputation of the Wei and Tang families from being humiliated. ”

"Cousin......" Wei Zhao was furious, and he couldn't see her giving in to Song Qin.

Tang Yu turned around and warned him with his eyes.

Wei Zhao couldn't bear to disobey her, clenched his fists angrily, gritted his teeth, walked in front of Tang Yu, and knelt down towards Song Qin: "Weichen has lost his words and deeds, begging the prince to let my cousin go, what kind of anger do you have Even if you come to Weichen, Weichen is willing to be punished." ”

Looking at the tall back kneeling there, thinking that Wei Zhao hated Song Qin the most in his life, Tang Yu closed his eyes in distress and bent his knees to kneel with him.

Song Qin walked away at this time, his face as cold as frost.
