Chapter 28: Going the wrong way

This time, the king was celebrated, and the family received an invitation. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is not so much to celebrate the birthday, but to be a major gathering in the aristocratic circle, not to mention that the royal relatives will come, which is an excellent opportunity for young people who want to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

From a distance, Jing Yan saw that the people on the other side of the eldest lady had already arrived. The round-necked jacket with dark patterns of concubine-colored peony on Ji's body was originally worn when he was preparing for the Lantern Festival, but now he couldn't wait to take it out. As if it wasn't enough, an amber fur was added to the outside, with a smooth flying cloud bun, and the already youthful face was now full of charm.

Ma Xiangyun was naturally unwilling to fall behind, in order to highlight her figure, she did not pick those thick clothes, and chose a close-fitting autumn fragrant persimmon pattern Hangzhou silk jacket, which was draped in pink and orange thin smoke veil, and the tail of the yarn was embroidered with a kingfisher pattern with gold thread, shining in the sun.

I didn't see Wang Jing's shadow, but I heard her shouting crisply: "Sister-in-law, you are here, why are you dressed so plainly, people want to say that our general's mansion has mistreated my daughter-in-law!" ”

It turned out that she had already gotten into the carriage, Luoxia opened the heavy curtain, and Wang Jing's young and lovely little face was reflected by the begonia red clothes, which was charming and cute, but the words she said seemed to have something else in mind.

"What the second sister said is, it's just that I don't like glamorous-beautiful colors on weekdays, so it's good to be plain."

Compared with their dresses of all Sai Tianxian, Jing Yan looks much more ordinary. A moon-white plain makeup placket, a light water green blue dress, and a silver fox draped over the shoulders, but echoed from afar with the simple flowing cloud bun that was combed by Yi.

If you talk about jewelry, it is only a pearl hairpin made of begonia style obliquely inserted in the bun, slightly embellished.

Ji squinted, and smiled secretly in his heart, in the end, it was from the mountains, and she was dressed like crying and mourning on such occasions, but sometimes she looked good.

"Jing'er, your sister-in-law is used to being quiet, so you can let her be!"

Jing Yan smiled shallowly, and smiled slightly at Ji's family: "It's still my mother who understands her daughter-in-law." ”

Everyone got into the gorgeous carriage with the support of the maids and women, and the carriage of the palace was printed with the family emblem like a tiger's head, coupled with the jujube red high-headed horse and the four corners of the hook cloud pattern lamp, it was really indescribable.

Wang Song followed Wang Guanghe and Wang Luan and they sat in front, and the ladies sat back in turn, and when it was Jingyan's turn to get into the car, the last one to sit on happened to be Ji and Wang Jing.

Mother Rong, who was standing in front of the carriage and serving, secretly grabbed Jing Yan's arm, and said with a sneer on her face: "Young lady, this car is full, why don't you take the latter one!" ”

Jing Yan looked up and saw that the latter carriage was spare, there was no family emblem of the Wang family on the carriage, and even the horse pulling the carriage was an ordinary white horse, with a wisp of black on his forehead, and his body had not yet grown, so he looked a little weak.

"Mother Rong, what are you talking about! Yan'er is the eldest young lady of our palace, how can she take that car! Jing'er, go down and let your sister-in-law come up and sit with me. Ji blamed, his face was obviously awe-inspiring.

"Mother, I don't want it! I'm still young, how can I sit alone! Wang Jing was unhappy, and her face wrinkled together.

"Madam, the second lady is a child after all, why don't you let the eldest young lady sit in the back with her!" Rong's mother said.

"Nope! I don't want to be separated from my mother! ”

Jing Yan looked at the inseparable mother and daughter in front of her and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, if she really relied on Rong's mother today, she would definitely be accused of being unvirtuous and unfilial, and what difference could there be if she was in a car.

"Mother, let the second sister sit with you, I have the girls with me, don't worry."

Ji Shi looked at the two heads in embarrassment, and finally nodded helplessly: "It's okay, then it's embarrassing, my mother will thank you another day!" Mother Rong, called Hanyu over to sit in the young lady's car, so that she could take care of her. ”

"Whatever my mother said, it was my own family, so I had to thank her. Huaiwangfu is at the corner of Pingjing, hurry up! ”

In this way, Hanyu, Chu Qing and Bai Li followed Jing Yan into the car, although the carriage looked simple, but it was also spacious, Chu Qing quickly added charcoal to the stove, and the whole carriage suddenly became much warmer and more comfortable.

Chu Qing and Bai Li were chatting and laughing in the carriage, Jing Yan closed her eyes slightly and rested on the pillow with gold thread wrapped around the branches, while Hanyu was full of discomfort, like sitting on pins and needles.

After about a stick of incense, Hanyu suddenly shouted: "Oops! I forgot the hairpin that Madame ordered me to take! ”

Chu Qing frowned, and Bai Li kindly stepped forward and asked, "What kind of hairpin is it, does it matter?" ”

Hanyu's beautiful face showed a sad and melancholy look: "It's the magnolia emerald and emerald hairpin that Mrs. gave me a few days ago, the craftsmanship of Master Pingjing, unique, said to be used to make amends for Mrs. Zheng Guo's sins......"

Mrs. Zheng Guo will definitely arrive at the birthday banquet of King Huai, so it is reasonable to say.

Chu Qing didn't realize this, she opened the curtain and looked outside, and said with some annoyance: "The carriage has traveled almost half the way, our horses are running slowly, and the car in front is gone, so how can I rush back now!" Hanyu, how can you remember such an important thing now?! ”

Hanyu had tears in her eyes, an indescribable sadness, as if she would float away if she said another heavy word: "Madam will definitely punish me heavily!" What should I do......"

Jing Yan opened his eyes, slowly propped himself up, looked at the poor Baba Hanyu and said: "Since that's the case, let's go back to the house and take a look, we are not the protagonists of King Huai's birthday banquet, and it won't be in the way if you arrive late." Chu Qing, don't blame her, Hanyu usually takes care of the eldest young master for me, nobles forget a lot, and it is common for them to forget, not to mention to apologize to Mrs. Zheng Guo, how can there be any reason not to go back, Hanyu, do you say? ”

As soon as Hanyu raised her head, she happened to see Jing Yan's bright eyes, like a pool of deep invisible lake, and the waves were about to swallow her up.

A trace of panic flashed inexplicably in her heart, and she quickly looked away and nodded noncommittally.

"Chu Qing, go and talk to the coachman, go back to the house to get something before leaving."

Chu Qing responded, the carriage turned around and returned to the gate of the palace, Jing Yan asked Hanyu to get out of the car to get something, and he sat in the car and waited for her.

I don't know if it's really hard to find or deliberately delaying time, half an hour has passed, only to see Hanyu holding a brocade box late, and the anxious Bai Li can't wait to drag her up.

After taking a break, Jing Yan saw Hanyu who was a little flustered coming up, and said lightly: "Hanyu, you are familiar with this one, sit next to the coachman, and take us to Huaiwang's Mansion quickly." ”

Hanyu didn't dare to say no, not to mention that in this way, it would be more convenient for her to act, so she nodded and sat in front of the car without saying a word.

"Okay, let's go, it's not too early."

The white foal at the front of the car let out a "whoop" and ran with its hooves spread.

I don't know if it's because the warmth in this carriage is sleepy or because I didn't have enough rest last night, Bai Li and Chu Qing are a little tired, and their eyes don't have the same light as before, and Jing Yan has his eyes closed from beginning to end, as if he was asleep.

After an hour, Bai Li suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and quickly woke up Jing Yan: "Miss! Look out the window, are we going the wrong way? ”

Jing Yan leaned in front of the car window, and what caught his eye was no longer a street or alley, but all of them had turned into barren mountains and flying rocks, and a few black crows flew in the sky from time to time, accompanied by a cry of life, and an indescribable sense of desolation and gloom.

Chu Qing couldn't help but shudder, she knocked on the partition and asked, "Coachman, is this the right way?" ”

The coachman touched his head, his eyes were full of confusion: "Girl, I followed the mark, and I don't know why I got here." ”

Hanyu shrank aside, as if he was about to fall out of the car, and said tremblingly: "It should be going this way, how did you get here......"
