41.Chapter 41

Within Shangdu, the gossip spread quickly, and Su Yan got a white eagle, and it didn't take long for it to be known by various families. It's just that I'm not in a hurry, and I'm pressed down by another thing.

On this day, Su Yan was idle, dyeing her nails and playing, and Xiaobai squatted on the side to make trouble for her. After a few days of getting along, Xiaobai dissolved into Su Yan's life very harmoniously. The maids who served beside her no longer rejected hostility and learned to turn a blind eye. It's just that it still relies on Su Yan, never wants to stay away from her, and even sleeps in Su Yan's room at night.

Su Yan deliberately asked people to build a nest for it, but this nest was placed in her boudoir, which was very awkward. Every morning, Xiaobai would fly out, pick flowers and put them at the head of Su Yan's bed, and then go to the bed to wake her up. Then obediently watched the maid wait for her to wash and groom, and recently learned to pick out jewelry for her, if it picked out the gold hairpin, Su Yan did not wear it, the eagle would be very frustrated to bury its head in the wings, no matter who called, it would not look up, and Su Yan had to coax it.

The maid beside Su Yan was so frightened that she was used to it, and if she was bold, she would take fresh meat to feed it, but Xiaobai never paid attention to it.

Recently, due to some thoughts of Su Zhoucheng and the Lu family, Su Yan's opportunities to go out have been greatly reduced, and his homework has increased. When she doesn't go out, she makes fun of herself at home, such as dyeing her nails. Take the henna in full bloom, divide the petals according to the color shade, add alum and mash it, then soak the cut cotton into the flower juice, and finally apply it to the nails.

Dye your nails several times to make the color bright and beautiful. When Su Yan picked flowers, Xiaobai tilted his head and joined in the fun, throwing a petal into the stone mortar from time to time.

"Xiaobai, you can't take this in your mouth!" Su Yan stopped Xiao Bai in time from taking a piece of fine cotton soaked in flower juice and putting it on the back of her hand. Facing the innocent eyes of the white eagle, she sighed, helplessly reached out to support the eagle's beak, and carefully applied the fine cotton it held on her nails before touching Xiaobai's head, "Okay." ”

Xiaobai cried happily, lowered his head and rubbed her, intending to make persistent efforts. Su Yan was slightly distressed, for the sake of her own hands, she didn't want to dye her nails and play with them anymore.

When one person and one eagle were having fun, Su Fang, the maid next to the Lu family, came over and brought Su Yan not very good news. "Shi Niang, Princess An has passed away."

Su Yan was taken aback, "Princess An? She remembered the delicate woman who put her hand on her stomach with a smile on her face.

"Yes, Princess An died in childbirth last night, leaving only one daughter." Su Fang said, "The lady asked the slave to come and tell Shi Niang that she would go to King An's Mansion tomorrow to offer condolences, so that Shi Niang could prepare early." ”

"yes, I see." Su Yan nodded, and his mood was very low for a moment. Princess An died, and King An will soon marry a new concubine, and the little girl who lost her mother at birth does not know what her fate will be in the future. Xiaobai seemed to sense that Su Yan was in a bad mood, stretched his neck, rubbed her little face, and comforted her silently.

King An's Mansion, which had lost its hostess, was a little bleak, and King An, who came out to greet the guests, was very haggard, and it was difficult to hide the sadness in his eyes, which made Su Yan have a good impression of him.

There were many people who came to mourn, and many people recognized Su Yan, but Changning Junjun was very unfriendly to her, and his eyes staring at her were frighteningly cold.

When the two of them staggered by, Su Yan also heard the cold voice of Changning Junjun, "Don't be complacent first, let's see." "What is she stimulated by? Could it be Xiaobai? Thinking of Changning Junjun's attitude towards the prince, Su Yan smiled helplessly, being regarded as an imaginary enemy or something, he hated it the most. However, for Xiaobai's cuteness, she doesn't blame the prince.

Su Yan didn't expect that she would meet Princess Zhou again in King An's Mansion, and she seemed to be healthier than the last time she saw her. She couldn't help but secretly sigh that the world was impermanent, everyone thought that Princess Zhou would die of illness, but they didn't want Princess An to leave first.

Princess Zhou obviously remembered Su Yan, and smiled slightly when she saw her, "The girl is fine." ”

"The princess is well." Su Yan blessed his body.

Princess Zhou's eyes were still red, and there were tears on her face, obviously Princess An's death made her quite sad. "Princess, you are not in good health, don't be too sad." Wang Shuyun walked over slowly, supported Princess Zhou, and persuaded softly.

Su Yan knew last time that Wang Shuyun and Princess Zhou were very close, but seeing each other today, it made her feel strange, these two people didn't seem to be simply dating each other. Princess Zhou's attitude towards Wang Shuyun was a little condescending, and she also had some contempt. Wang Shuyun seems to have some pity for Princess Zhou, a little neglectful, and a little unwilling, is it really strange?

What made Su Yan even more strange was that after Princess An's fifth and seventh days, it was the time when the chrysanthemum crab was fat and autumn. The emperor moved back to Taiji Palace, and all the families in the imperial capital also moved back to the city. One day, she went to the bookstore to buy books, and when she met Wang Shuyun, she asked the maid next to her to buy the calligraphy and paintings of a down-and-out scholar on the side of the road. The two obviously knew each other very well, and they chatted for a few words, obviously not the first time they had bought a painting.

To be honest, judging from Su Yan's eyes, the scholar's calligraphy and painting can only be said to be okay, not a high-quality product, how can Wang Shuyun take a fancy to it?

When Wang Shuyun saw Su Yan, he greeted with a smile: "Shi Niang." ”

"Second cousin." Su Yan also bowed slightly. She planned to leave after saying hello, but she didn't expect Wang Shuyun to be very enthusiastic and had to invite Su Yan to the teahouse for tea. It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Su Yan was fine, so he followed.

Su Yan chose a private seat by the window, and before Wang Shuyun could speak, she saw a white shadow flashing, and a white eagle squatting on the table, making her heart tremble.

"Come here." Su Yan patted the seat next to her, and Xiaobai obediently jumped next to her and squatted, only a handful of dumb hair was exposed on the table.

Wang Shuyun stroked his chest in fear, and asked carefully: "This is the eagle that the prince gave you?" ”

"Hmm." Su Yan raised his hand to touch Xiaobai, and said deliberately: "It is very well-behaved and never hurts people." ”

"Huh." Wang Shuyun laughed dryly, and didn't say anything to let Xiaobai go out first, which made Su Yan feel very good about her.

"Shi Niang, what do you think of this calligraphy and painting?" Wang Shuyun put the calligraphy and painting she had just bought on the table and let Su Yan comment on it.

Su Yan said bluntly: "It's very ordinary. She keenly noticed that Wang Shuyun seemed to be relieved, why?

Wang Shuyun said with a smile: "That Lang Jun is very talented, but his mother is sick and the family has exhausted the family's money, so he can only come out to buy calligraphy and paintings to make a living." I learned by chance, I felt pity for his talent, and I thought I could help him. ”

Su Yan: "Hehe, the second cousin is really a bodhisattva. "If you want to help him, what calligraphy and paintings do you want to buy, it is better to let the brothers in the family come forward and find an errand for him to copy books in which bookstore. It can't be that the cousin of the Wang family has taken a fancy to that person, right? Although Su Yan felt that it was unlikely, there were no absolutes. Thinking of this, Su Yan felt that he seemed to have seen through Wang Shuyun's thoughts, and he was embarrassed to stay any longer, "Which, second cousin, don't worry, I won't say anything about today, it's just that you ......" Su Yan bit his lip and persuaded him: "Cousin, I think it's better for you to see each other less." For the sake of the scholar's life, she didn't say the latter sentence.

Wang Shuyun's eyes widened, what did she just hear? "Shi Niang!" Stretched out his hand to stop Su Yan, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he said indifferently: "Make it clear." ”

"I think I'm saying it very clearly."

Wang Shuyun sneered twice: "I asked myself if I didn't offend Shi Niang, why did I have such a bad reputation." This word must not be spread, Emperor Zhongzong in history is the most interested in reputation, especially for women, and the requirements are even stricter. Su Yan's words today were known to him, so she didn't want to enter the Zhou Palace.

"Bad for your reputation? Where does this begin? Su Yan is so innocent, she just reminded Wang Shuyun that she had provoked so much hostility. Not to mention that she was born in the Wuyi Mansion, she is the niece and granddaughter of her grandmother, and she is another woman, what to say and what not to say, she knows very well.

"Where to start? What did you just mean? Wang Shuyun thinks that the historical evaluation is really unbelievable, the history books praise Su Yan like a flower, in fact? She really didn't think she had any talent other than a good face. Coupled with today's incident, it is even more disgusting. Obviously, she maliciously guessed, and pretended to be innocent, pretending to be a white lotus.

Wang Shuyun's attitude was vicious, and Su Yan was also angry, what did she say, didn't she just kindly remind her, as for holding her. She was pampered by her family and grew up, when was she ever questioned by someone pointing her nose like this, and she also got up at the moment, got rid of Wang Shuyun and took her hand, raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Whatever my cousin wants, it's what it means, forgive me for not accompanying me." ”

"You ......" Wang Shuyun also stretched out his hand again, but was stopped by Su Yan's maid, and she was not good at shouting loudly in public, so she could only watch her lead people away. Hmph, damn it! Wang Shuyun slapped the table vigorously and slowly calmed down his anger. It seems that he has to come out less recently, and the plan to win over people is about to be released, so it's all Su Yan's fault!

Coming out of the teahouse, Su Yan didn't have the heart to go anywhere else, and planned to get into the carriage and go home directly. I don't want to be a coincidence today, I just met a cousin, and this time I met my cousin again.

In a shop in the Western Regions opposite, Su Rong and Liu Wenxuan walked out side by side, just in time to take a picture with Su Yan. Su Rong smiled and raised his hand, "Tenth sister, what a coincidence." ”

Su Yan thought about it, and saw that the sixth prince, King Wu, also walked out of the shop, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed when he saw her. As soon as she saw that this prince was also there, she didn't want to go over, and today was really redundant.

When King Wu saw Su Yan, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he admired Su Rong's character and talent, but he also had to admit that Su Yan's face that captivated the country and the city seemed to be more attractive to him.

"Your Highness, my tenth sister is here, let's go over, don't say goodbye." Su Rongqiao said with a smile.

King Wu put away his chaotic thoughts, and also returned a gentle smile, "You really don't need me to send you back?" ”

"No need, we have a lot of guards." Su Rong lightly blessed his body, and pulled Liu Wenxuan towards Su Yan.
