Chapter 8: Ba Nan Yi

When Zhao Jinyan sent Xia Guogong back to the mansion of the princess of Guoguo and rushed back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang, it was already too late.

Although the Mansion of the Duke of Xia and the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Jinyang are in the same capital, the distance is not close, and the Duke of Xia Guogong has been tossed many times on the road, Zhao Jin Yansheng was not lightly tossed, and the face that was not very soft in the original expression only became more and more stiff and rigid.

Zhao Jinyan grabbed the reins of the horse in his hand at the gate of the mansion of the eldest princess of Jinyang, turned over and dismounted, and looked up at the imperial plaque hanging on the top, but it was rare not to hold it in his heart, and let out a long sigh. The robe on his body is no longer as clean and clean as when he went out in the morning, and there are even some dusty servants, that is, he has no habit of cleanliness, and it is inevitable that he is a little unaccustomed to and concerned about his appearance at this time.

And when he thought that he had just been dragged into this messy housework for no reason, his brows couldn't help but wrinkle again, but fortunately, he had always been restrained and would not let this depression flow into shape, so he still had a cold look on his face, and walked towards the gate with his back hand.

Zhao Jinyan hadn't walked a few steps here, but he saw Zhao Jinyuan walking out of it, and when he saw him, Zhao Jinyuan's face was slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted, and said to him with a smile: "I'm back, my uncle sent it back, right?" โ€

"Hmm."

Zhao Jinyan nodded, hesitated, and said a little unnaturally: "I want to come back and talk to Aunt Jinyang." โ€

Hearing this, Zhao Jinyuan nodded, but he stopped Zhao Jinyan and explained softly: "Fang Caifu's birthday banquet has been over for a long time, and so many things have happened at the banquet. When I came out, Fu Hui and Aunt Jinyang went back to rest, so let them rest! โ€

When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he just nodded indifferently, and didn't go to see the eldest princess of Jinyang, but he was actually happy.

After Zhao Jinyuan and Zhao Jinyan said a few more words, on the other side, the palace officials of the East Palace had already driven Zhao Jinyuan's carriage over, and the two got into the carriage and no longer stood at the door to talk.

As soon as Zhao Jinyan got into the carriage, he smelled a sweet smell, he didn't like sweet and greasy snacks, but he hadn't eaten water and rice for a long time today, and he was already hungry, but it was rare to have a little greed, and his eyes subconsciously looked for the source of the sweet taste, which was a snack box placed on the table in the car.

Although Zhao Jinyan didn't understand how there was an extra dim sum box in the car, after all, he was also riding in this carriage when he came, and he didn't see this dim sum box, but he didn't think much about it, so he reached out to get it.

It's just that as soon as he reached out of his hand, his hand hadn't touched the box yet, but Zhao Jinyuan suddenly and quickly picked up the entire box and carefully placed it on the seat beside him, and that position happened to be out of reach of Zhao Jinyan's hand.

Doubts flashed on Zhao Jinyan's face, and his hand was withdrawn a little stiffly, and Zhao Jinyuan also realized his gaffe, and after coughing lightly twice in embarrassment, he wanted to explain in a vague way: "Third brother, you haven't used your lunch, you're just afraid of being hungry, right?" Just when I was going to pass through the Zhenyu Building, the eldest brother invited you to eat, so don't use this snack, so as not to use it later. โ€

"Thank you, big brother."

Zhao Jinyan thanked him softly. If it was according to his habit of being taciturn in the past, he would not say anything more after thanking him, but today, he is a ghost, and after thanking him, he couldn't help but say again: "This box of snacks was given to the eldest brother by Cousin Furui, right?" โ€

Although he used a question sentence, Zhao Jinyan was already convinced in his heart.

Zhao Jinyuan didn't hide it, and nodded, but the expression on his face was a little unnatural. After a while, as if his heart had been exposed, but he had no scruples, he couldn't help but say to Zhao Jinyan a little proudly: "First of all, I went to Dali Temple to pick up Cousin Yuelang, Furao was afraid that I would be hungry, so I chased to the door and handed me this food box, my cousin is always so considerate......"

Zhao Jinyan didn't speak, his eyes fell on the food box engraved with the logo of the eldest princess of Jinyang, thinking of Zhao Jinyuan's thoughts with him earlier, and thinking of the words he overheard, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl mockingly.

If you really don't have half a mind, how can you intentionally or unintentionally make such an ambiguous and flirtatious act? In the final analysis, His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been rational and wise, cannot escape the confusion of the authorities in the โ–กโ–ก.

The boudoir was quiet, and the maids had already been sent away by Fleur, she was lying on the bed, holding a book in her hand, and she hadn't turned a page for a long time, but her eyes were looking at the book in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a slight movement from the window, which also woke Fleur, and she looked up, only to see a pear wood box the size of two books placed in the window.

The width of the window lattice alone could not support the box at all, someone must have been holding it in the back, and Fleur was still lying motionless on the bed, but her hand finally turned a page of the book, and then, slowly, she said: "Aren't you tired of shrinking down and squatting, stand up!" โ€

The box moved, and after a while, behind the box, a head finally came out, Xia Yuelang's seemingly delicate face had a flattering smile, but because of the black eye socket, his face was bruised, which looked a little funny.

He spoke cautiously and attentively, and his sister who spoke again and again was extremely sweet.

Fleur rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, finally put down the book in her hand, got up from the bed, looked straight at the window, and said a little helplessly: "Brother, I don't blame you." โ€

When Xia Yuelang heard this, there was a little uncomfortable look on his face, and his tone was quite expectant: "I know that sister, you are the most understanding, and you won't blame me." I'm just blaming myself in my heart, why can't I control it so much, I have to ruin your birthday banquet! Sister, you must have been wronged, blame your brother for being bad, you scold your brother and beat your brother! โ€

After a series of words came out, Xia Yuelang's tone became more and more depressed.

Fu Rui looked at it, but there was a smile on her face, she climbed off the bed and put on her shoes, walked to the window, stretched out her hand and smiled at Xia Yuelang: "Brother, where is my gift?" You've beaten people up for this gift, and I haven't seen it yet! โ€

"Oh, here, here! When I arrived at Dali Temple, the group of people insisted that I hand it over, but I refused to take it out! Xia Yuelang's tone was a bit invited.

And Fleur smiled at Xia Yuelang in response, took the pear wood box and opened it, only to see a set of ruby heads inside. The ruby inlaid on the jewelry is like blood, shining, and the gold background jewelry is engraved with lotus shading, which is very exquisite.

Xia Yuelang is not a calm person, earlier, he was rewarded with these rubies in the palace, and he promised Fu Yuan more than once to make a set of jewelry that is unique in the world. For this reason, he almost ran to all the large and small jewelry shops in Beijing, and even the craftsmen in the palace were disturbed by him many times.

And this morning, when Xia Yuelang went out to get jewelry, he went to Furao's house to tell Furao about this set of jewelry, but he didn't want to let Xia Yuelang cause a big trouble for no reason because of this set of jewelry.

"Brother, how is Prince Cheng's side?"

Fleur didn't hold back, but still asked worriedly.

Xia Yuelang mentioned that Fu Hui mentioned this, and his face was a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be a big grin, and smiled at Fu Rui to comfort: "It's okay, it's okay." He himself is weak, I haven't even put in the effort, besides, isn't there an emperor's uncle? โ€

Xia Yuelang obviously didn't want Fu Yuan to mention this, he casually said a few perfunctory words, and immediately changed the subject, "I heard Qingzhu say that he actually came with those little sluts today!" โ€

Fleur didn't speak, but a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

Xia Yuelang looked at his sister's appearance, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited, and he only shouted loudly: "Furui, don't worry, I'll teach him a lesson and give you a meal, see if I don't burn the broken house and burn those sluts!" โ€

"Brother, don't go, you and your father quarreled like this last time, why did you hurt your father-son friendship for me."

When Fu Hui heard this, she panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Xia Yuelang's sleeve and begged repeatedly.

In fact, Xia Yuelang made a big fuss about Xia Guogong's mansion and vented his anger to Fuyuan, which was not once or twice. Just last year, when Fu Hui went to Huangjue Temple to offer incense, she happened to bump into a few people in the house over there and listened to a few unpleasant words. As a result, after Xia Yuelang found out, the third watch ran to burn the Xia Guogong Mansion in the middle of the night and was arrested. At that time, Xia Yuelang and Xia Guogong were in a big trouble, and in the end, the emperor came forward to appease the matter.

Fu Yuan panicked in her heart, and what she said was a little inappropriate, Xia Yuelang also frowned when she heard this, and only said in a rough voice: "What is for you, what is ours, me and you and my mother are a family, what is he a thing, you say as if I and him are a family, you are not a member of our family." โ€

Before Xia Yuelang's words were finished, Furao's eyes were red, but tears couldn't stop falling, Xia Yuelang panicked, and hurriedly stopped talking, only said to Furao: "Sister, don't cry, I listen to you, I won't go to him, don't cry!" โ€

The brothers and sisters in the house were deeply affectionate, and the eldest princess of Jinyang outside the door sighed softly.

Mama Wang, who was standing beside her, carefully looked at the look on the face of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said softly for a long time: "Eldest princess, don't you go in?" โ€

The eldest princess of Jinyang shook her head and said slowly: "You said that the imperial brother gave Fu Hui a fief? โ€

"Yes, when the slave maid left the palace today, the queen mother asked the slave maid and the eldest princess to say, the holy decree will be issued later, and the fief of the county lord is on the edge of the fief of the eldest princess. The most important thing is that our county lord has now become the county lord of Nanyi, which is famous and real. โ€

The corners of the eldest princess of Jinyang curled up slightly, and she did not speak.

When Fleur was born, she had to be named the lord of the county, and her title was Ronghua, which was an honor for the daughter of a princess, but after all, she had no real name. In fact, she knew that sooner or later, the county lord of Fleur would become famous. It's just that at first, she thought that day would be when she was in Fluffie and Lu, but she didn't want to, but it was on this fourteenth birthday.

Regardless of whether the emperor's birthday gift is given, it is for today's matter, to save face for her and Fleur, there are still other considerations, but at least, next year's birthday gift for Fluffia and Fleur will never be lighter than this year.

And for a young girl, the best gift is the best family affair.
