On that day, Chu Yunxi put on her most solemn set of dresses, and the color was a little brighter than usual, because she almost didn't wear clothes other than white for the mourning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info wore a Hunan dress today, covering some of her overly pale face.

Wearing gold and emerald, she couldn't bear it, so she only combed a Chaoyun near fragrant bun, and fell with a simple pearl jade ornament, and Cui Tian Baochai was discarded. Only used rouge to dot his lips, and it looked really like "Dai Mei is delicate and far away, and the green temples are thick with spring smoke".

is also frail, Chu Yunxi has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his aura has not diminished, but Chu Yunyi's morbidity is even more obvious, with long cheeks and reduced green, thin green and red, thin as paper. Although the elaborate makeup can hide her sallow face, it cannot hide the sad look between her eyebrows.

The blow of her mother's death and her sister's cold estrangement made Chu Yunyi even more haggard. Last year, she was bedridden for a winter, and everyone in the house thought she couldn't survive anymore. Chu Yunxi was wary and resentful of her, but after all, she couldn't match her sisters' affection, and she always remembered that she had also taken the risk to send comfort frequently when she was sick. She has a weak temperament, and it is not easy to protect herself in this mansion surrounded by tigers and wolves.

She sighed lightly in her heart, she still couldn't be ruthless. In the end, when she lingered on the sickbed and was about to disappear, she invited Lin Risheng, who had a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, to diagnose and treat her, and personally decoction and medicine for her, and her condition finally improved in the spring of this year.

She lost her loved ones, and the other relatives in the house were lukewarm to her. Chu Yunxi's careful care these days made her feel warm, and gradually regarded him as her spiritual pillar and relied on her very much. But Chu Yunxi was always like leaving her, refusing to take a step beyond Lei Chi, and no longer daring to tell her what he was thinking and thinking in his heart, fortunately, there were Yan Qingshuang, Lu Yan, and Biyin in the mansion who could be trusted with life and death, and she was not lonely. In such a comparison, she is really much luckier than her second sister.

The two got into the carriage bound for the palace, and they were the only ones in the carriage. Although Chu Yunyi is tired of the hustle and bustle, he has been locked in the boudoir alone for many years, and he will inevitably be lonely, and gradually become disgusted with the world, only feeling that his life is only confined in a square attic, which is extremely boring. But today, sitting in the carriage of Suzaku Street, I heard the boiling voices outside the car window, and her nasal cavity was filled with fresh and refreshing air.

She spoke softly all the way, and Chu Yunxi did not refrain from responding, she did not disappoint her fun, she would rather talk to herself than express her joy.

In order to show respect for the host, the guests entered the garden of the East Palace early, and the warblers smiled in groups. Several girls who were familiar with her also came over and talked with her, and several people hugged her to go to enjoy chrysanthemums together.

Chu Yunxi silently retreated out of the crowd, and the rest of the people didn't pay attention to her. When Chu Yunyi turned around to call her, she smiled and waved her hand, watching her being pulled away by the rest of the women.

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't wait for the poetry meeting to turn into a breath of transparent air. Passing in front of everyone's eyes, without taking away a ray of staring gaze.

She walked along the weeping willows in the courtyard, turned three flower bushes, and saw a huge hand-hewn pond with tens of thousands of koi of various colors surging in the pond. On the south side of the pond, there is a white marble viewing platform and railing. Chu Yunxi climbed the jade steps on the stool, stepped on the fish viewing platform, and looked at the jade tablet combed above, with the three big characters of "Jade Jinchi" mentioned on it.

Looking at the small characters of the inscription, I knew that this three-character handwriting was written by the prince of the East Palace. Intrigued, she approached to take a closer look. Every horizontal and vertical of his words is extremely exquisite, but it gives people a sense of a small family that is bound, far less free than Lin Yueyuan's words.

She shook her head, watching the fish by the railing, the koi in the pond are big and small, there are spot patterns, and there are also one color, red and gold, ink clothes and blue scales, large pieces of kneaded together, the flexible fish tail splashed a large splash, hitting the jade pond wall, like the agitation and turbulence of the flowing stream in the mountains over the mountain rocks.

She was fascinated. The other ladies also heard the noise, and the laughter of the giggling girls spoiled the natural pleasure of the fish hitting the pond.

Chu Yunxi frowned slightly, lifted his skirt and left. A wet, white ball-like creature sprang out from the imperial stairs below and flew up the tree. The foreman who watched the pool waved at the other waiters and shouted, "Catch that stupid thing." ”

The three waiters by the pool were ordered to chase after them, and their sleeves fluttered like a flock of noisy crows, and the plum blossom footprints were clearly telling Chu Yunxi that he was a white cat at that time.

She didn't have anything to do, and she followed softly.

The foreman led the three of them to surround an old plum that looked like a coiled dragon in the distance by the edge of the pool, and a snowball like a white cat on the vigorous branches, bared its teeth and neighed, protecting the dead koi fish on the branch in front of it.

One of the attendants picked a few slender branches from the pile of dead branches left by pruning the trees, trimmed them with his hands and threw them to the rest of the people, and the four of them beat the cat on the tree with the branches, hoping to fall to the ground and die.

The white cat tried to escape from the higher branches, but the four branches came from different directions, sealing its path, and it hooked the branches tightly with its claws, and the koi was shaken to the ground, and one of the attendants hurriedly threw the branches in his hand to the person next to him, and took out a clean brocade from his bosom and wrapped the solemn body of the fish and set it aside.

Chu Yunxi hid behind the tree, and was amazed to see his strange behavior.

The chamberlain tugged his robe around his waist, hugged the trunk of the tree, and used his limbs together, like a dexterous macaque, to climb to the top of the tree in an instant. The cat wailed again and again when it was beaten, and lay down on the branch and did not dare to resist. The chamberlain raised his hand and swung it at its head, lifting its neck to throw it under the tree.

Suddenly, a girl in a water green palace costume ran over from the forest opposite Chu Yunxi, knelt in front of the foreman's chamberlain, hugged his legs and cried: "Gonggong Guo, please, surround the cat's life." ”

Guo Neishou was taken aback, and then picked up the girl with tears on her face and said, "Yuan'er girl, what are you doing, get up quickly." ”

Yuan'er cried miserably, pulled Guo Nei's sleeve and said: "Father-in-law Rongyu, this cat's name is Pinu, I secretly raised it behind my mother's back, and my mother has always hated cats and dogs." So I locked it in the house. I usually pick up some leftovers to feed it, and I have been raising it for two years. I haven't seen my parents and relatives since I entered the palace, but fortunately, I have this beast to relieve my boredom, just like a relative. I think it's been a hurry to lock it up these days, and it hasn't been touched by meat for several days, and it can't stand it and bites the rope and runs to steal fish. I complained that I didn't take it well, and my father-in-law punished me, and I just begged you to save Pinu's life. ”

Guo Neishou is an extremely kind and generous person, who has never been as oppressed in the palace as other older chamberlains all the year round, so he turned to abuse low-level palace maids. He is not only serious on duty, but also takes care of the younger generations like a child. Hearing Yuan'er say this, he couldn't help but feel compassion, and waved his hand to the person who grabbed the hair on the tree and said, "Don't throw it, you can come down first." ”

The little chamberlain took Pinu in his arms and jumped down the tree. When Pinu saw his master, he cried out aggrievedly, and Yuan'er took the white cat and held it in his arms like a treasure, crying and begging.

Guo Neishou sighed and said helplessly: "Yuan'er, you and the crown princess have been for some time, and you don't know how much the prince cherishes this pool of koi." Count it every morning, and if there is a shortage of koi, you have to report it to the crown princess. You cat shouldn't have stolen the fish in this pond. Moreover, the crown princess has long banned that there is no need to raise cats and dogs in the palace, she hates the filth of these things the most, and killed dozens of cats and dogs in the East Palace back then. Thanks to the fact that this cat is in front of us today, we will come back and think of a clean way to kill it, so that it will suffer less sin, and we will return that it is the wild cat outside that killed this carp, and we can explain it, otherwise even you will be punished. ”

Yuan'er hugged Pinu tightly and cried: "Can't you just say that this fish is sick and dead?" ”

Guo Neishou shook his head and said, "How do you explain the tooth prints and paw prints on the fish?" Horizontal and vertical can't be hidden. ”

Yuan'er listened and sat on the ground with Pinu in her arms and cried. Hearing Chu Yunxi's heart, it is also life, one is the prince's beloved fish, and the other is the palace maid's beloved cat, just because the owner's identity is different, there are also three, six, nine and so on. This cat likes to eat fish, it is caused by nature, and there is no fault, the prince and the princess only because of their own personal habits, and kill living beings at will, it is unkind.

She looked at Yuan'er holding Pinu trembling and crying, and suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and she actually remembered Qingxu.

She is also a very animal lover, even on the day of food and clothing, she will exchange her thrifty money into fish, meat and rice to feed the roadside wild cats and dogs, in the twilight day she returned from the palace, often in front of their house alley to see a very (1) spectacular scene: countless different kinds of different colors of cats and dogs will squat and wait for her at regular times, whenever she appears with a smile on her face, those lovely and poor creatures will wag their tails and surround her, friendly and joyful stretch out their little paws to pick up her dress, some will even jump on her shoulder, Licking her sideburns and eyebrows, she crouched on the ground and let them snuggle up to her warm body. It is a pity that those moving scenes are still vivid, but unfortunately the Si people have passed away and there is no longer a time to be seen.

A sad current of heat surged in her eyes, and she gently wiped the corners of her eyes, looking up at the sky and forcing back tears.

She coughed lightly and spun out from behind the tree, catching the attention of the five.

Guo Neishou saw her dress, knowing that she was a noble girl who came to the meeting, and hurriedly bowed down and asked, "What do you want the girl to order?" ”

Chu Yunxi respected his benevolent heart and respectfully returned the salute to him.

Guo Neishou asked with a little trepidation: "Girl, what is the difficulty, please just give orders." ”

Chu Yunxi smiled politely and said, "Can you ask your father-in-law to sell face, pity this sad person who cries for his sister, spare that cat." ”

Guo Neishou was not sure where she came from, so he asked: "I take the liberty of asking, may I ask what the girl's surname is." ”

Chu Yunxi smiled: "Chu clan." ”

"Dare to ask which Chu clan it is?"

"Jinling Chu Clan."

Guo Neishou was taken aback and stammered: "Could it be that the girl is ...... It's the Crown Princess's ......"

"The little girl is the younger sister of the crown princess." Chu Yunxi continued.

Guo Neishou was surprised and said respectfully: "It turned out to be the fourth lady, the old slave is clumsy. ”

Chu Yunxi smiled kindly and said: "I don't often enter the palace, the old man doesn't recognize it, it's normal." ”

Knowing her identity and hearing that she was going to save Pinu, Yuan'er ran over to her with teary eyes and kowtowed to her again and again like grasping a life-saving straw. Seeing that she was really pitiful, Chu Yunxi's heart was as soft as cotton, and he begged Guo Nei again.

Guo Neishou hesitated for a while before replying: "It is said that the girl said that the old slave did not dare to say anything big. It's not that the old slave is unkind and deliberately embarrassed, but it's just that the old slave is really difficult to bear in front of the prince, so why don't the girl go and talk to the princess. That's probably it. ”

Go to Chu Yunlian? is not as light as Guo Neishou said, her eldest sister has always regarded her as a thorn, and has been cold to her since she was a child, but she is afraid that she will not ask for favors, but she will use the topic to play, and even reprimand herself.

Today, her relationship with her two sisters is extremely estranged, they are related by blood, but they are separated by mountains. She was wary of them as if she were guarding against outsiders, but she gave all her true feelings to her good friends who were not related to her.

She thought for a moment and said: "After all, the koi is the prince's beloved thing, and the princess is inconvenient to intercede. You really shouldn't use this to disturb Your Highness. The old man said that every day there will be a special person to count the number of koi in the pond in the early morning, which is not the case. When the meeting was over, I pretended to be unwell. I thought that Yuan'er would also join the club to serve the crown princess, so I just begged Yuan'er to give me a ride, go outside and buy an identical koi fish to enter the palace and put it in the pool, otherwise no one will know. ”

Yuan'er burst into tears and smiled, nodding frequently and praised: "This is a good idea." ”

Guo Neishou also thought that this idea was very good, and finally agreed.

Yuan'er couldn't help but be overjoyed, and wrapped the Pinu who was lucky enough to pick up a life with a white cloth in her arms. Pinu is also human, and he probably knows that he has made a mistake, so he obediently does not move, does not scream, and lets his master disguise.

Guo Neishou urged her to hurry up and take the cat back to hide. She hurriedly thanked her, spared the plum tree, and went into the woods.

Chu Yunxi was about to say goodbye to Guo Neishi, when a terrifying scream came from the forest over there: "Your Highness!" ”

The two looked at each other, a sense of foreboding was born in their hearts, looking towards the forest, the two teams of attendants came out of the forest neatly, hugging one person, about twenty-five years old, with a pearl crown and jade belt, and a golden dragon robe. The dragon chapter and phoenix posture, the condensation of fat and paint, the quality of the Son of Heaven.

The crowd fell to their knees, their heads shaking. Chu Yunxi was startled, stared at him stunned for a while before he came to his senses and knelt down. Before she looked down, she saw Yuan'er holding the cat following behind in despair, and secretly screamed in her heart.

Li Jin sneered lightly, not caring about his royal majesty, and joked: "Why bother so much, if the fourth sister asks for Lonely, how can Lone disagree?" ”

Guo Neishou reacted first, trembling and kowtowing: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”

Chu Yunxi sighed silently in his heart, and hurriedly took the sin on himself.

Li Jin smiled lightly, ordered everyone to be even, and wondered: "Is Lone too strict on weekdays, but there is a fish ear dead in the pool, why are you all afraid of this." ”

He approached Chu Yunxi, who was hanging his head, with a smile on his face, leaned over with his back and asked, "Does the fourth sister also think that loneliness is terrible?" ”

His burning gaze came with a close smile.

Chu Yunxi faintly felt pressing, and subconsciously wanted to hide, so his eyes drifted away unconsciously, avoiding facing him, and said: "The prince is the prince, the proud son of the sky, domineering, not angry and arrogant, so it is daunting. ”

Li Jin chuckled and said, "Fourth sister, this is so boring. I wanted to hear some naïve words, but you actually said some sour words. I want to hear the truth. ”

Chu Yunxi is also regarded as a person who has mixed up in the officialdom, these flattering words do not need to be thought, they come as soon as they open their mouths, they have become a habit, and they have almost tried and tested, who knows that the prince is actually on a whim and wants to hear something different. Her thoughts were rushing, and she gritted her teeth and said simply: "The little girl doesn't know." ”

"Why?" Li Jinxiao asked.

"The little girl has just arrived, and she has only met His Highness for the first time, and she does not know much about His Highness's temperament, so she does not dare to make assertions. It's just that the inner servants and maids are all servants and maids of His Royal Highness, and it is natural for the slaves and maids to be a little in awe when they see their masters, and it has nothing to do with whether His Highness is strict or not. ”

"Oh." Li Jin was in a good mood, as if he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and continued to ask: "Then are you afraid of being lonely?" ”

The more he asked his questions, the more tricky he became, Chu Yunxi was crazy in his heart, and on the surface, he calmly saw the tricks and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

"How?" Li Jin asked with interest.

"The little girl is brave, for the little girl, His Royal Highness is both the prince and the husband of the eldest sister. If you talk about the identity of the prince, the little girl is a subject of His Royal Highness, and it is natural for the people to fear the king. But if you talk about the identity of a brother-in-law, His Royal Highness is a brother, and the little girl is a sister, since they are like a family, they are naturally fearless. ”

Li Jin laughed happily and said, "What the fourth sister said is very true. Since Lone calls you a fourth sister, he naturally treats you as a sister, and you should also treat Lone as a brother. ”

Chu Yunxi's jaw said yes.

As a result, Li Jin came out with another sentence that made her break out in a cold sweat: "Then why don't you dare to raise your eyes and look at Lone to speak." ”

She looked at him stubbornly, and as soon as her gaze met him, it was as uncomfortable as if she had been burned by fire, and she lowered her head again.

Li Jin sighed: "You're still afraid of me, your mouth is wrong,"

She pursed her lips, and said while thinking: "This is the number of etiquette, it is always inconsistent with etiquette for women to look directly at men, His Royal Highness is the brother of the little girl, and it should be respected." ”

Chu Yunxi always seemed to have a way to refuse him within the courtesy, Li Jinzong tried his best to show his closeness to her, and she always pretended not to respond lightly.

This is different from other women who are either flattering, or spring-hearted, or timid and frightened, Li Jin stared at her thoughtfully, as if he saw a floating shadow on her.
