Walk up the winding stone steps up the hill, and there is a pavilion at the top of the mountain. Standing in the pavilion, the entire forbidden garden is in full view. Su Yan took a deep breath, and some cool air went straight into her abdomen with some moisture, and the fragrance of plants permeated her nose, making her eyes squint slightly, a light smile on her lips, and her body moved forward unconsciously.

The prince grabbed her arm and said with concern, "Senior sister, be careful." ”

Li An was guarding outside the pavilion, looking at his nose and nose, and he kept muttering: What are you careful about, there is a wooden fence around the pavilion, which is half a person high, judging from Miss Su's current height, unless someone lifts her up and throws her down, there is no danger in Kenben. He quietly glanced at the prince's eyes full of worry, and sighed secretly: Alas, His Royal Highness is really concerned about it, and he can't even see this.

It just so happened that a gust of autumn wind was blowing, and the prince stood quietly upwind, completely blocking Su Yan with his body, and then asked with concern: "The mountain is cool, is the junior sister cold?" As he spoke, he was about to untie his cloak.

Li An saw it and said: Fortunately, I am prepared. He walked a few steps briskly, came to the edge of the pavilion, and built it very humbly, "Your Highness, the old slave brought two thicker cloaks up. According to his thoughts, this can show that his own palace is □□ sticky, and it will not be cold to his own highness, which is simply fantastic.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't appreciate it at all, glared at Li An viciously, and made up his mind not to bring this slave out next time. The maids who followed Su Yan out had already prepared. Seeing that Li An was talking back, he also took the opportunity to shake off the cloak that had been prepared a long time ago and changed it for Su Yan. When the prince saw this, his face darkened by three points.

Su Yan pursed his lips and whispered, "Your Highness, wear more too." ”

Hearing that his sweetheart cared about him, the prince's mood immediately turned cloudy and clear, and there was a smirk on his face, "It's okay, I'm not cold......" "Well, it's a little cold at that time, listen to my sister." ”

The person guarding outside the pavilion: Your Highness, are you cold or not?

"Senior sister, are you tired?" The cold problem was solved, and he immediately thought that the little girl had just come all the way, and she must be tired. Oops, he's such a pig's brain, why didn't he think of it.

There is no need for the prince to say more, there are already eunuchs and palace maids who have taken out all kinds of hard cushions and soft cushions, made two seats, and placed them very intimately in the adjacent places, and then slowly exited the pavilion. The prince looked left and right, very dissatisfied, and said apologetically: "Things are a little rough, junior sister will sit down." ”

Su Yan silently: The cushion with red gold makeup forged really can't see where it is rough. There are many eunuchs in Shangdu, and they are reluctant to wear more clothes made of this material. When I came to the prince, I felt that I couldn't look down on it when I used it as a cushion, and sure enough, the world was richer than the emperor's family.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a real pride of the sky, since he was a child, he didn't even study his father's face directly, and he learned this skill on Su Yan without a teacher. He stared at the silent little face, a little apprehensive in his heart, "Senior sister, but do you think I'm a little extravagant?" ”

Su Yan was silent for a moment, but decided to say something directly, "Indeed." ”

If someone else said this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely despise him to the bones, he grew up like this since he was a child, and his father often felt that his son was pitiful, and he was much more wronged than the prince of the previous dynasty. But today's words were said in his heart, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately made a deep reflection and nodded again and again: "Thank you senior sister for telling me directly, I will definitely change in the future." ”

Li An's eyes exploded, what did His Royal Highness just say? He didn't seem to hear clearly.

The prince was so obedient that Su Yan tilted his head and glanced at him curiously, and seeing that his face was full of sincerity, he couldn't help but hide his lips and smile: "The royal family has its own royal spirit, as long as Your Highness does not waste it at will and does not damage it arbitrarily." ”

"Mmmmmm, I wrote it down. Come, have a cup of hot tea. "When the prince travels, especially when he comes out with his sweetheart, he must bring a full set of equipment, and making a cup of hot tea is a trivial matter. The prince took the teacup with his own hands and carefully handed it to Su Yan, and did not forget to tell her: "This is a newly called clear spring this morning, and it is best to use it to make tea." ”

Su Yan sipped lightly, tea is good tea, water is good water, but the person who makes tea is slightly inferior, she is a little pity.

When the prince saw Su Yan tasting tea, he also lowered his head and took a sip, and then his brows furrowed.

Su Yan saw it and sighed lightly: "The water temperature is too hot, so this tea is inevitably unsatisfactory." After she said this, a girl immediately knelt outside the pavilion, her body trembled and kowtowed deeply, but she didn't dare to come out and beg for mercy.

Li Ancai wanted someone to drag the palace maid down, so he heard the girl in the pavilion laugh leisurely, "Your Highness took me to enjoy this beautiful scene, and treated me with a famous tea and clear spring, so I really don't know how to thank Your Highness." ”

The prince hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing. ”

"Why don't I cook a cup of tea to thank Your Highness?" Su Yan smiled lightly.

The prince was overjoyed, "There is Senior Sister Lao." "Don't be too happy to be able to drink the tea made by Shi Niang herself, he wants to drink a few more cups, and he doesn't have to eat.

Su Yan pointed to the girl kneeling outside the pavilion and smiled: "This must be a female official who specializes in serving tea, can you give me a hand." ”

How smart the prince is, as soon as his mind turned, he knew that his face was different just now, so that these ten mothers could see it. In order to keep the palace maid from being punished after she went back, she said this, and the prince would be really happy and sour. However, Shi Niang has to make tea for him to drink, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy, so I will spare this maid once today. He glanced coldly at the kneeling palace maid, and said softly: "Don't wait for Shi Niang yet." ”

The palace maid was overjoyed, hurriedly got up, walked to Su Yan's side and blessed her, and said softly: "Girl, the slave is waiting for you." ”

Su Yan, this girl, not only has a clever mouth, but also has a wonderful hand, a cup of tea, which makes people have a long aftertaste. The prince half-squinted his eyes and savored his hair for a long time before sighing: "My previous tea was all in vain. ”

"I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha today, and I didn't dare to praise His Highness so much." Su Yan was praised with a smile, and promised in a very good mood, "However, at the beginning of the year, I learned to brew peach blossom wine with my grandfather, and when the peach blossoms bloom next year, I will send His Royal Highness an altar to express my gratitude." ”

"That's true."

"Seriously."

"Then I'll wait for my sister's wine."

On this day, Su Yan was not only taken by the prince to enjoy the scenery on the mountain, but also heard the pipa of the East Palace maid A Luan, which was really extraordinary. Su Yan couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, "No wonder it is called a must in the palace, it is indeed like a fairy sound." ”

The prince was worried about the opportunity to express himself in front of his sweetheart, and said generously at the moment: "Since the junior sister likes it, this maid will give it to the junior sister." ”

This Ah Luan is delicate and beautiful, and the clothes on her body are different from ordinary palace maids, she must not be an ordinary East Palace musician, Su Yan can't accept it. As soon as she wanted to refuse, she heard a "poof", and the delicate musician Ah Luan knelt on her knees, her eyes were full of tears, and she cried infinitely desolately: "Your Highness, what did Ah Luan do wrong, and you want to be driven out of the East Palace by Your Highness?" ”

The girl had teary eyes, and when she looked at Su Yan, she hid endless sadness and resentment, "Girl, Ah Luan has only one master in this life, begging the girl not to let His Royal Highness drive Ah Luan out of the East Palace, even if His Royal Highness sends Ah Luan to the girl, Ah Luan will not the pipa for the girl again." ”

What is this...... Su Yan had a slight headache, some of them played the pipa well, but they had it at home, and they were guilty of following the prince. She smiled, "At that time, I didn't like to listen to the pipa very much, and I was disappointed by His Highness's kindness." ”

The prince's face was so black that he could drip ink, and waved his hand casually, "Ang Li, take Ah Luan down." "This kind of girl, even if Shi Niang likes it, he is embarrassed to give it away.

After this incident, Su Yan felt a little bored, and it didn't take long for him to get up and say goodbye, "Disturb Your Highness for half a day, I should also go back." ”

The prince didn't want to stay long, and after what happened just now, he felt that he didn't have the face to leave Su Yan anymore, so he could only say apologetically: "It's all my fault, which disturbed the elegance of my junior sister." "At this time, I'm embarrassed to talk about painting together, the prince's heart is bitter.

"Your Highness, Ah Luan loves the Lord, it's not a wrong thing, and I hope Your Highness will open the net." Although Ah Luan's girl was a little strange, Su Yan still interceded for her, a very good girl, but she was more infatuated, and it was not a big fault.

According to the prince's temperament, Ah Luan made him lose such a big face in front of Su Yan, and after sending Su Yan back, he would definitely kill people to warn the rest of the East Palace. I don't want Su Yan to intercede for her, so ...... Then spare her life! The prince was very reluctant.

"Your Highness, Ah Luan pleads guilty in His Highness." Li An replied cautiously, on weekdays, Ah Luan's girl relied on her beautiful appearance and good pipa playing, and she was very favored by His Royal Highness, and occasionally had a little temper, and His Royal Highness did not blame her. I didn't want to raise her heart and cause such a big incident today.

The prince reclined on the couch, his eyes slightly closed.

Li An honestly half-bowed, didn't dare to speak more, and waited quietly. A quarter of an hour passed before the prince's slightly cold voice sounded in his ears, "Didn't she say that she would never the pipa again, then let it be as she wishes." "Look at how good he is, listen to Shi Niang's words, he didn't kill that cheap maid, I must tell Shi Niang about this matter one day.

"Yes, the old slave knows." Li An responded calmly, and then slowly retreated.

When Ah Luan, who was kneeling outside the hall, saw Li An come out, he took two steps on his knees, raised his tear-stained little face, and asked with anticipation: "Manager Li, is Your Highness willing to see me?" ”

Li An stretched out his hand and pinched Ah Luan's pointed chin, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then laughed slowly, and whispered softly: "Ah Luan, our family doesn't understand, you have even touched the corners of His Highness's clothes, where did you have the courage to refute His Highness's orders?" Where did the delusion come from, thinking that Your Highness would see you again? He couldn't understand that this girl Ah Luan, who looked very smart, did something stupid and couldn't be more stupid? It is clear that His Royal Highness likes the Ten Ladies, and the saint is also happy to see it. She went to Shi Niangzi's side and flattered Shi Niangzi, there will always be a day when she returns to the East Palace, maybe the delusion in her heart may come true. Now, even though my life has been saved, maybe it's better to die.

Li ...... Manager Li ......" Ah Luan had a white face, and he was a little trembling when he spoke, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Tut-tut, you should thank the tenth lady, if it wasn't for her intercession, your little life would be gone today." Li An stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Ah Luan's face, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands carefully, threw the handkerchief on Ah Luan's face, and his voice became cold, "Your Highness, if you wish, Miss Ah Luan will not have to play the pipa in the future." After speaking, without waiting for Ah Luan to come back to his senses, he waved his hand. Two stout eunuchs came over, blocked Ah Luan's mouth first, and then dragged the person down.

Ah Luan just came back to her senses, she struggled hard, but there were two tall eunuchs there, looking at the distant palace, her eyes were full of despair and regret.

Li stood quietly and waited, and after a while, he saw the previous eunuch come back to resume his life, "The ten fingers have been broken." ”

"Beat thirty more boards, and then send her to the pulp." Li An said lightly.

"Yes." The eunuch was commanded to depart.

Li An returned to the palace at this time, "Your Highness, everything has been dealt with." ”

The prince seemed to be asleep, and after a long time, he let out a soft "um", and Li An quietly let out a sigh of relief, and carefully retreated to the corner to stand.

Su Yan was in a good mood, even if there was an incident with Ah Luan later, he was not affected much. When she returned to her residence in the Yasukuni Mansion, the elders and brothers and sisters in the family did not come back, so she went directly back to her house.

The mother leopard and the two tiger cubs who were locked in the house expressed great enthusiasm for her return, and Su Yan hugged the three and made love for a long time before changing clothes, sitting next to the bookcase, and then working on the manuscript.

The female leopard lay quietly at her feet, squinting her eyes to recuperate, and the two tiger cubs also jumped on her lap and slept in a ball, and the room was quiet for a while.

I don't know how long later, there was a commotion outside the house, and the female leopard was half-lying up, her round ears moved, and her eyes were sharp when she looked at the door.

"Shi Niang, Princess Huyang, Princess Wuyang, the Duan family, and the Du family are here to visit." Qingyun, who was guarding outside the house, saw the people who came in with the Liu family and the Su Rong sisters, and hurriedly came in to reply.

Su Yan calmly finished the last few strokes, looked carefully for a long time, and made sure that there was no problem, before putting the pen back on the pen mountain, getting up and changing clothes.

"Su Shi Niang, you are such a big shelf, dare to let His Highness wait for you for so long." As soon as Duan Yan saw Su Yan, she said sarcastically, she had a grudge against Su Yan, and she didn't have any good words when she saw Su Yan in the past few days, Princess Huyang glanced at her, and Duan Yan stopped speaking.

Liu also felt that Su Yan was not quite right, and complained softly: "Shi Niang, why did you come, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Su Yan smiled, "It took a long time for the courtiers to change their clothes, and His Royal Highness Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

Princess Wuyang smiled gently, "It's okay, it's our sisters who came presumptuously, Shi Niang sit down." ”

"Why didn't Shi Niang go hunting today?" Princess Huyang asked with a light smile.

Su Yan said: "I was a little tired, so I stole back to laziness." ”

Du Siniang covered her lips and smiled: "It's the first time for Shi Niang to go on an autumn hunt, no wonder it's not very adaptable." ”

"Sister Du is right, I am indeed participating in the autumn hunt for the first time." Su Yan replied very calmly. Anyway, no matter if she participates for the first time or for the second time, it is a fact that no one can deny the fact that she won everyone and got the Shining Sun Sword.

Du Siniang also remembered it, the smile on her face was a little stiff, and Princess Huyang said lightly at this time, "Ten Niangzi, there is something to ask for in this palace, I don't know if Ten Niangzi is willing to help?" ”

Su Yan raised his head and looked into Princess Huyang's eyes and smiled lightly, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess." ”

Princess Huyang raised her eyebrows, "Shi Niang, do you know what this palace said?" ”

Su Yan said: "If the princess didn't come for the young tiger and Xuan Yu, the courtier's words just now would not have been said." ”

"Shi Niang is really smart." Princess Huyang smiled, "There are two tiger cubs, and the palace also wants them, just ask for one, and Shi Niang is willing to cut her love." ”

Liu hurriedly spoke, "Ashu, since Your Highness likes it, you can give it to Your Highness." To tell the truth, she was really dissatisfied with what this niece had brought back, and now that the princess likes it, she would like to give it to the princess.

Su Yan shook his head decisively, "Your Highness, I'm very sorry. "The emperor didn't give her what he wanted that day, how could he give it to Princess Huyang, who didn't have much affection for him.

Princess Huyang restrained her smile, "Shi Niang doesn't think about it anymore?" ”

"I'm sorry."

Princess Huyang didn't say anything more, got up and left with people. Princess Wuyang looked at Su Yan and stopped talking, and finally sighed and followed Princess Huyang. When several little ladies of the Du family saw it, they couldn't stay any longer, so they got up and said goodbye.

"Shi Niang, ...... you" Liu Shi pointed at Su Yan and shook his head, and hurriedly went to see off the two princesses.

Duan Yan slapped the case and shouted: "Su Shi Niang, you said, how much gold are the two tiger cubs, I bought them." ”

Su Yan didn't even look at her, and lightly threw down a sentence: "I'm not short of money." He also took people away, making Duan Yan so angry that she couldn't wait to rush over and grab Su Yan and slap her twice.

Su Rong hurriedly played a round game, "Ah Yan, don't be annoyed, my tenth sister is such a personality......"

Duan Yan snorted coldly, "I want you to be a good person." After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Su Rong was embarrassed by Duan Yan, which made Su Yunlan laugh secretly, and she comforted her coquettishly: "This third mother of the family is so rude, the seventh sister should not be like her." ”

Su Rong's face did not change, "Fourth sister, don't worry, Ah Yan is straight-tempered, we often play together, naturally we all understand, I won't be annoyed with her." ”

Su Yunlan's smile froze, and she snorted angrily, no longer speaking.

Liu sent the princess and a few little ladies back, and wanted to talk to her niece again, but she didn't want Su Yan to leave, so she sat on the chair with a frown for a long time, and then said to her daughter tiredly: "Ah Yue, you go and persuade Ah Shu, don't go against the princess." Besides, the princess doesn't want to do it all, she just wants to share a tiger cub. She's so old, she should be sensible. ”

Su Rong didn't have a good impression of Princess Huyang at that time, and she still remembered that in her previous life, this princess indulged in vicious dogs and hurt people. Dogs can bite people to death, so should she raise a tiger and let people live? "A-Niang, a few days ago, the saint didn't get it, how to give it to the princess."

Liu sighed, "This aunt ......" She didn't say any more, but she was a little more dissatisfied in her heart. It's just that it's hard to say it in front of her daughter and concubine, and she already plans to talk to her husband in her heart, so that he can persuade the fourth brother to sacrifice the black eagle, the tiger cub, and the female leopard to the saint.

Before Liu could tell her husband here, Princess Xin'an broke in with someone. She rode on a horse, looked at the Liu family and Su Rong sisters who were saluting, and asked condescendingly, "What about Su Shi Niang?" ”

Liu smiled a little lightly at Princess Shangxin'an, turned sideways to lead his hand, and said politely: "Your Highness, please come in and sit down, and wait for the courtiers to send someone to call Shi Niang." ”

Princess Xin'an impatiently pointed at Su Rong with a whip, "No need, let her take the palace." ”

The Liu family really can't take Princess Xin'an, "The courtiers take Her Royal Highness down." "She was afraid that this princess would come up and hurt her daughter.

Princess Xin'an said unhappily: "You don't need to bring it, just let her go." ”

Liu had no choice but to retreat slowly, she quietly glanced at her daughter, asking her to bear with it, not to annoy her.

Su Rong nodded secretly, indicating that he understood. She smiled and said, "Please come with your courtiers." ”

Princess Xin'an turned over and dismounted, carrying a horsewhip and carrying a large number of palace maids and guards to the back.

Liu hurriedly stopped, "Your Highness, the back house is where the ladies are located, and your guards ......."

No matter how domineering Princess Xin'an is, she will have to restrain herself a little bit in the Yasukuni Mansion, she waved her hand, and the guards slowly retreated, "Is this okay?" ”

"Thank you, □□ for your kindness." Liu owes a debt.

Princess Xin'an just wanted to ask Su Rong to lead the way quickly, but she didn't want the Lu family to come back at this time, and the Duchess of Yasukuni Wang came back with her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were a little surprised when they found that there were many palace guards standing in front of their house, and when they entered the house, they found that it was Princess Xin'an who brought them, and even stood in front of their own lobby with a vote of guards, and they were not happy at the moment.

After the Lu family saluted, he asked with a faint smile: "Dare to ask Your Highness, but you came to the Yasukuni Mansion to ask for the crime on the orders of Niangniangyi?" ”

Princess Xin'an is not afraid of the Liu family, and she is not even very afraid of the Wang family, but in the face of the Lu family, she is unconsciously flustered and short of breath, and her expression is not very comfortable," Madame said with a smile. ”

Lu Shi had a cold face, "Since it is not a crime, why did His Highness break into the mansion with the guards?" ”

Lu's attitude, Princess Xin'an became numb, muttered for a long time, and didn't say one, two, three, so she could only accompany the ceremony, "Madam, today is Xin'an's rudeness." It's not that she doesn't want to take out the attitude of a princess to scold the Lu family, but she doesn't dare. Today she dares to train the Lu family, and tomorrow her father will be able to send her to the temple until she gets married.

After accompanying the ceremony, Xin'an didn't have the face to stay any longer, and walked away with people.

Liu was relieved to see it, hurriedly came over to salute his mother-in-law, and personally served Wang after changing clothes, washing and resting, and then retired with Lu.

"Brother and sister." Liu thought about it again and again, and still planned to have a good talk with Lu. She invited Lu to sit in her room and wait for the maid to serve tea.

Lu smiled gently, "Sister-in-law has something to say." ”

"Then I'll say it." Liu said with a smile: "Princess Huyang came to see Ah Shu today, she wanted a tiger cub and her attitude was sincere, but her niece just refused to cut her love. I thought, this is not a big deal, since the princess likes it, and it is rare to talk to us once, is it a bit ...... to dismiss it like this?"

Lu Shi was happy when he heard this, and smiled nonchalantly: "If you don't give it, you don't give it, what's this." She thought it was a big deal that made her sister-in-law so embarrassed.

Liu: "......" has a feeling that I can't talk about it at all. Come on, she doesn't know how much her younger brother and sister spoil the child, so let's wait for her husband to come back and discuss it with her husband.
