Chapter 106: Xufu's Birthday Banquet (II)

Bai Yi went to the Water Pavilion, only a few young masters of the Xu family were there, and he didn't see Xu Hanying's figure, so he asked the maid who was on the side, saying that he went to the garden. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There is a big lotus pond in the garden of the Xu family, and Bai Yi saw a little girl in a red horse-faced skirt standing by the lotus pond, dancing and shouting: "Fifth brother, you go to the right, yes, yes, and then to the right." ”

The lord of Yaqing County is virtuous by nature, and Xu Yanzhen is also a quiet person, I really don't know who their daughter is like, a full little demon star, especially capable of making trouble.

Seeing that all the maids and wives around the little girl were there, there would be no danger of falling into the pool, and Bai Yi was not in a hurry to go over, just stood in the distance, watching what the little girl was playing again.

"Oooh, got it!"

With Xu Hanying's cheers, Bai Yi saw a young man wearing a moon-white brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, a white jade belt hook with Yunzhi pattern around his waist, and a dragon jade pendant, fresh and handsome, with a graceful demeanor, it was the fifth prince Bai Jue who came to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The fifth prince had been bending down to pick lotus flowers, so Bai Yi didn't see it.

The fifth prince is the same age as Bai Yi, and his mother Concubine Jin was originally just the daughter of a small family, but because of her beautiful appearance, she was accidentally taken by Emperor Yongrui, who visited Weifu privately, and brought back to the palace, and has been deeply favored by the emperor since then. However, she was named Concubine Jin in two years, which can really be described as a favorite harem, and she is in the limelight.

When Concubine Jin was pregnant with the prince, everyone thought that this girl would definitely be crowned a concubine after giving birth to Lin'er, and she might even ascend to the throne in the future. It's a pity that the sky is jealous, and Concubine Jin died after giving birth, and her son was handed over to the queen to raise. I don't know if it's because of excessive sadness, or for some other reason, the emperor has always been indifferent to the five princes and has not been particularly fond of them.

Bai Yi saw the fifth prince hand the lotus bud to Xu Hanying, and the little girl jumped happily on the spot after taking it. The lotus flowers bloom after April, and it is extremely rare to have a small bud at this time, so it is no wonder that the little girl is so happy.

The fifth prince slowly put down the sleeves that had been rolled up when he picked lotus flowers before, raised his eyes and saw Bai Yi standing in the distance, nodding at each other with a smile. Seeing that the other party saw him, Bai Yi walked up to them and saluted the five princes: "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." ”

Xu Hanying saw Bai Yi handing him the lotus flower like a treasure, and smiled sweetly: "Uncle, look, this is the fifth brother picked it for me, and I will be able to see the beautiful lotus in two days." ”

Bai Yi patted her head lightly and scolded in a low voice: "There are no rules, do you want His Highness to know?" ”

The fifth prince smiled and said: "In terms of seniority, the lord of Yaqing is my aunt, and it is not an exaggeration for Hanying to call me a brother." Uncle Yi, you call me Jue'er. ”

"Etiquette should not be abolished." Bai Yi said lightly.

The fifth prince still smiled softly when he heard this, and he no longer insisted on it.

Xu Hanying had enough of playing with the lotus, handed it to the maid, pulled Bai Yi with one hand and the five princes with the other, and said happily: "Little uncle, fifth brother, there is a bird's nest on the big tree over there in the kitchen, let's go catch the birds." ”

The fifth prince looked at her with some surprise, he thought that the little girl's family liked flowers when he helped her pick lotus flowers, but he didn't expect that she also liked things that boys played.

Bai Yi looked at this little demon star with a headache, frowned and said, "Don't go, have you forgotten that your mother said that you are not allowed to go up the tree again?" ”

Xu Yanzhen saw that he not only did not agree, but also murdered himself, snorted a little, let go of the hand holding him, and turned to hold the hand of the fifth prince with both hands and kept shaking, blinking his cute big eyes, and said pitifully: "Fifth brother, can you take Ying'er to catch birds?" ”

Although there are also young princes and princesses in the palace, the five princes rarely have contact with them, and even if they do, they are only polite and detached from the ground to say hello and go their separate ways, and they have no experience in dealing with children at all. Refuse, I'm afraid of hurting the little girl's heart, let's agree, it's not good to break the rules of the lord of Yaqing, I don't know how to answer for a while, and the fifth prince looked at Bai Yi as if asking for help.

Bai Yi carried the collar of the little girl's back coat, directly lifted the person to himself, and said solemnly with a wrenched face: "I said that I was not allowed to go, but I was not allowed to go, if you want to make trouble again, I will throw you back to your mother." ”

was threatened, Xu Hanying really didn't shout that she was going to climb a tree to catch birds, her mouth was deflated, and her small eyes were full of water, as if she was about to cry. Seeing this, the fifth prince half-squatted down, took out a gourd pendant of mutton fat and white jade from his purse and handed it to the little girl, and said softly with a smile: "This is for you, promise my brother not to cry." There's a swing over there, shall we go on the swing? ”

Xu Hanying held the jade gourd, her lowered little eyes were dripping, this little gourd looked like a good thing. Then she raised her face and kissed the fifth prince loudly on the face, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother is so good to Ying'er, Ying'er likes Fifth Brother the most, let's go swing." ”

The fifth prince was caught off guard and was kissed, he had never been kissed, and he couldn't react in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he saw the little girl smiling with a smile on her face, how could there be tears in her eyes, he seemed to have been deceived by a little girl, and turned his head to look at Bai Yi. Seeing this scene, Bai Yi silently turned his head to look in other directions, and told the five princes with actions that this was Xu Hanying's usual trick.

No matter how complicated the mood of the five princes was, Xu Hanying, who had a baby, was in a good mood, pulled them to the swing rack, sat on them by himself, and let the two of them push them behind. Pushed high, the little girl giggled, the laughter was crisp and pleasant, and the five princes also showed a shallow smile when they heard it.

Bai Yi looked at the Fifth Prince, and suddenly said, "You have always been like this?" ”

The environment in the palace is complicated, people's hearts are unpredictable, and seeing that the five princes are so simple and gullible to trust others, Bai Yi is a little suspicious of how the other party survived.

"Huh?" The fifth prince didn't understand for a while, but after thinking about it, he understood what the other party meant, restrained his smile, and said, "Because you are relatives." ”

Because I think of you as my relatives, I will believe in you.

Bai Yi heard the meaning of his words, and was silent and did not speak again. The fifth prince also didn't speak again, just smiled lightly and pushed the little girl on the swing.

When Lu Wensi found them, Xu Hanying was already tired of playing, and Bai Yi and the five princes were standing on the side of the swing, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After each of them saw the ceremony, Lu Wensi said: "There is a banquet ahead, and it is time for His Highness to sit down." ”

Xu Hanying's hair bun was messed up, Bai Yi wanted to take her back to recomb her hair, the fifth prince went over first, and Lu Wensi followed him behind. Bai Yi stopped Lu Wensi, smiled slightly and thanked him: "Thank you for what happened in Shanshizhai before." ”

Knowing that the other party was thanking him for not revealing his identity, Lu Wensi nodded slightly: "It's just a trivial matter." ”
