The morning sun is rising, the faint morning mist like smoke is scattered in the flowers and trees in the blink of an eye, the whole East Palace seems to have just woken up from a deep sleep, and the silent courtyard gradually has the pretty and colorful figures of the palace maids.

Kumquat and Yinliu each took a team of palace maids, all holding bamboo tubes from the back garden back to the Lizheng Palace, and the two met in the apse and smiled at each other. The two teams gradually merged together, turned into a small courtyard on the left side of the Li Zheng Palace, and poured the dew collected from the bamboo tube into the porcelain altar in turn. More than 100 palace people gathered in one place, but they were orderly and did not hear the noise.

The palace people who had collected the dew in the morning, after completely going their separate ways, quietly dispersed. According to the rules of the hostess, they can go back to the house to rest, and they do not need to be on duty in the morning. Kumquat and Yinliu sealed the mouth of the altar, and finally came out of the small courtyard, and they met Hongsang and Zifang, who also brought a team of palace maids, holding all kinds of toiletries, and walked slowly.

When the four of them met, they all raised a smile, and Kumquat quietly laughed: "It's a little late today." "The emperor has often gone out of the palace in civilian clothes recently, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been entrusted with important tasks by the saints, and every day he gets up at dawn and can only return to the palace when the sun sets, and the palace maids who are close to Su Yan are used to it. I don't know since when, all the close affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also been taken over by them.

Mu Lan and the others were a little scared at first, for fear that they would not do well there, and it would be a small matter to make the prince angry, and if the princess was involved, it would be troublesome. Fortunately, the most noble young man in Daxia can't serve, especially in front of the crown princess, he is even more tame.

Hongsang smiled with a smile on his face, and also lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness ordered last night that you will not go to Taiji Palace today, and you will take your lady out." ”

Yinliu pulled the kumquat and took two steps back, "You guys go quickly, don't miss the time, if Your Highness is angry." ”

Hongsang smiled at the two of them and led people to the palace gate.

In the main hall of Li, the red candle that has been burned all night, only the candle wax remains, in the dark dormitory, the brocade tent hangs low, and the big bed surrounded by the brocade tent embroidered with pomegranates and grapes in red seems to be a small world of its own. The gold wisps of empty incense balls hanging on the top of the tent are still quietly exuding fragrance, and under the brocade quilt embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, the young couple sleeps with their necks crossed, their hair is entangled, and the breath can be smelled.

Banxia and Huarong, who were on duty at night, had already gotten up, Banxia pushed open the window, Xiaobai and Xuanyu flew in, stopped at Su Yan's dressing table, put down the flowers in their mouths, and let out a crisp eagle cry at the big bed hanging low in the brocade tent. The two who have been re-educated by the male owner have learned to wait outside the tent, instead of getting into the bed to harass the male and female masters.

Su Yan, who was accustomed to waking up to the sound of eagles every day, opened her sleepy phoenix eyes, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes with a delicate expression, just in front of her husband's warm and watery eyes, she raised a smile, "Qilang, morning." ”

The prince came over and kissed her gently, put on underwear for Su Yan himself, and took care of himself before lifting the curtain and calling someone to come in to serve.

Xiao Bai tilted his head and looked at Su Yan who came out from behind the prince, and called out twice with a gentle "coo", Su Yan's eyebrows bent, "Xiao Bai, Xuan Yu early." ”

Washing, changing, grooming, the same thing every morning, but today in the company of her husband, I feel very sweet. If, at breakfast, the prince can not grab something to eat with her, this morning will be more complete, Su Yan thought sweetly and helplessly.

The prince told Su Yan yesterday that he would take her out to play today and go back to her parents' house by the way. After breakfast, she thought about what to bring home, and was taken by the prince with a thin belt to the inner hall, "If you want to give a gift to the Yue family, I have already prepared it, Qingqing just went to change her clothes, and we can go." "The prince had long planned to take his beloved wife back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the gifts were prepared long before the wedding.

If she wants to go out, it is naturally better to wear a lighter dress, and because she is still newly married, it is not easy to dress too plainly, Su Yan simply changed into a goose-yellow silk silk shirt embroidered with plum patterns, with a bright red pomegranate skirt, plus a soft white light gauze dress, the embroidery on the skirt is looming under the smoke-like gauze, which has a hazy beauty.

"Lady, comb a flying fairy bun." Banxia asked with a smile.

Standing behind Su Yan, Hua Rong, who was holding a jade comb and slowly combing her long hair, shook her head, "I think Suiyun is better." ”

Before Su Yan could answer, the prince interjected beside him: "Comb both of them and let Gu take a look." After marrying his wife, the prince has more and more knowledge in women's dressing, and he also has a lot of experience in dressing up his beloved wife.

"Yes." Hua Rong saw that Su Yan did not object, she bent her knees with a smile, her hands and feet were very neatly combed Suiyun bun, the prince wrapped one arm around his chest, stroked his chin with one hand, and looked at Su Yan with an almost obsessive gaze: My family Qingqing is so beautiful!

He muttered to himself: The clouds are ethereal, the eyebrows are trimmed, the red lips are outward, and the teeth are fresh. Bright eyes are good, Jing Fu inherits power, beautiful posture, and quiet and leisure......

Su Yan didn't hear it clearly at first, but then the prince's voice became louder, and she realized that she had actually praised him in Luoshen. After the prince finished talking, he shook his head in dissatisfaction and sighed: "If you want to come to Luoshen, it is not as good as my family's Qingqing." ”

Su Yan was praised by the prince so red that her jade cheeks were dyed, she quietly reached out and pinched her husband, and her soft eyes glared at him with disgust and joy, before she said to Hua Rong: "Just comb this, you don't need to change it." As he spoke, he opened the jewelry box, intending to take a small phoenix hairpin and bring it with him, but the prince took the golden step with only three beads the size of his finger and shook it out, and carefully put the hairpin on the bun, and the beads fell obliquely on her ears, adding a little charm to her beautiful face.

The prince looked left and right for a long time, then picked up the half-open and half-closed jasmine on the dressing table, and put it on the side of the bun, before nodding with satisfaction, "That's fine." ”

Su Yan looked at himself in the mirror, and after feeling that there was no problem, he turned around and walked towards the prince, and said with a smile: "Qilang, let's go." ”

The prince looked at his beautiful wife, and regretted it for a while, why he dressed her so beautifully. As soon as he went out, how many ordinary people had to be in a daze at his Qingqing, it was annoying to think about it. I had the intention to ask someone to get the hood, but I was afraid that the hanging veil would block my vision. When he was in a dilemma, Su Yan had already asked someone to take the fence and put it on his head.

The prince hurriedly went over, stretched out his hand to take it for her, and said distressedly: "You don't need to bring this." He felt that he was a little narrow-minded, so he couldn't help but sneer on his face, and when Su Yan got into the carriage, the prince also sat in, holding his beloved wife's hand, and said embarrassedly: "Qingqing, I don't like people staring at you, aren't you too careful." ”

Su Yan covered her lips and chuckled, held her husband's hand with her backhand, and said softly: "I'm the same as Qilang, if someone always stares at you, I will be annoyed." ”

The prince said happily: "Really? ”

Su Yan nodded seriously, "Really." ”

"Qingqing." The prince emotionally took the person into his arms and solemnly promised, "I won't let the woman stare at me in the future." After a while, he told Li An to tell him to tell the palace maid of the East Palace, who dared to stare at him if he had nothing to do, and directly pulled out to play the board.

Su Yan: "......" always felt that her husband had made some great determination.

The young couple came out today, and they didn't have an exact purpose, they just wandered around at will. The carriage stopped at the edge of Xingqing Pond, the prince helped Su Yan down, and the two walked slowly side by side.

"I just returned to the Dragon Boat Festival in Shangdu, and I met Shichiro here." Su Yan casually pointed to the second-floor restaurant opposite, and said with a smile, "Remember, that day your bird snatched my golden hairpin and ran away." ”

The prince also smiled, "Su Ling is a robber who I have been calling for a long time." He also remembered the surprise of meeting his sweetheart that day, and after Su Yan left, he packed the teacup in the restaurant, just because the teacup was used by her.

Li An and Li Ping, who were following behind the two, obviously thought of it, and glanced at each other, both seeing obvious smiles in each other's eyes.

Li An glanced at Li Ping and asked him to find a time to show the lady the teacup that His Royal Highness had carefully treasured back then, and by the way, tell me its origin.

Li Ping nodded silently, indicating that he understood. For this kind of thing that can give His Highness a good impression in front of the lady, he has always worked hard.

mentioned that back then, Su Yan couldn't help but think of the incident when his friend married into the Ping Wangfu, which seemed to happen that day. If there was no chance encounter between Guan Qiya and King Ping, Ah Wen would not have married into King Ping's mansion.

"Shi Niang." A vigorous voice sounded behind him, with a familiar rhyme for Su Yan.

I really want to come who is coming, Su Yan turned around with a smile and looked at the woman in a green shirt and yellow dress not far behind her, "Ah Wen, what a coincidence." ”

The prince corrected dissatisfiedly: "It's Qi Niang." "Qingqing is married to him, how can she still use Shi Niang to call her.

Guan Qiwen saw that the prince and Su Yan were both dressed in plain clothes, and the people who followed him also changed their outfits, so he knew that they didn't want people to know their identities. She didn't bow much, but just bowed respectfully to the prince, and said politely: "Qilangjun." ”

Facing Su Yan's best friend, the prince's tolerance was still quite high, he waved his hand and asked casually, "What about cousin?" ”

"He's gone to release the boat." Guan Qiwen replied.

"Boating?" Su Yan thought of the beauties on his boat when he first saw the prince of Ping that day, which was really impressive.

Guan Qiwen obviously knew what her friend was thinking, she pursed her lips and smiled, and asked meaningfully: "Qilang, Qiniang, do you want to see this year's river boat in our house." ”

The prince was not very interested, "Is there anything new?" "The beauty boats of the prince of Ping are all the same name, and he is the penultimate when the cold wind river boat is cold every year, but he comes every year, and he is not discouraged.

Su Yan's eyes widened curiously and looked at his friend.

Guan Qiwen sold a pass, and led sideways, "Qilang and Qiniang will know if you look at it." ”

Su Yan quietly took the prince's hand, looked up at him beggingly, the prince took advantage of the situation to hold his beloved wife's jade hand, and smiled softly at her, "Then let's go and have a look." ”

Guan Qiwen saw that the prince was so obviously doting on his friend, and since Su Yan got married, he had been carrying the heart and let it go. She looked relaxed, walked beside Su Yan, and followed the gossip.

"Where's your Ace?" Su Yan asked with a smile. She asked about Guan Qiwen's eldest son, who had only turned one year old, and his name had not yet risen, and everyone was just ringing his name.

Speaking of her son, Guan Qiwen smiled, "I was still asleep in the family room when I came out." "Since giving birth to a son, Guan Qiwen has lived more comfortably in King Ping's Mansion." That kid eats and sleeps every day, round like a ball, and I can't even hold it. I want to give him some moderation, but I don't want my father-in-law and my family to be dissatisfied. Not to mention children, it is only healthy to be rounded. But my son is too round. ”

On the topic of children, there are always endless words to be a mother, Guan Qiwen is like this, she pulled Su Yan to spit out bitterness, from the little doll who loves to cry too much, to his willful tricks, and then to how many account books and books he destroyed her......

Su Yan listened with a smile, and asked a few words from time to time, "By the way, has your family Aqi become famous?" ”

Speaking of this, Guan Qiwen couldn't help but want to laugh, "You don't know that my father-in-law and husband, when it comes to fun, they are more proficient than the world, and when they mention books, they have a headache." For the sake of Dalang's name, my father-in-law will die hard. I held it for a year, but I didn't hold back a name, and I went to the Taifu Mansion every day with a gift for the past two days, saying that I wanted to ask the Taifu to give a name. Guan Qiwen still has some things to say to his friends, King Ping feels that with the name given by Mrs. Lu, his grandson will definitely be able to compare his talents to Zijian and look like Pan'an.

Guan Qiwen doesn't have much luxury for his son, as long as he is not as gentlemanly as his father.

"My grandfather probably won't see Uncle Huang." Su Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Guan Qiwen also smiled, "No, my father-in-law came back in the past two days, and he was sad." ”

"You can ask Uncle Huang to beg my uncle." Su Yan sincerely built yì. Originally, Lu Taifu had a lot of opinions about King Ping and King Heping, how could he name his grandson. When it was Young Master Lu, who had a short face, he was begged by King Ping, and most of them agreed.

"Huh." Guan Qiwen was embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "My father-in-law...... Hehe...... "I don't have any knowledge, I still dislike Young Master Lu is not as honest as Mrs. Lu, and his knowledge is not as great as Mrs. Lu." She couldn't say this in front of her friends.

Su Yan understood in seconds, she spread her hands to her friends, saying that she had no choice.

Girlfriends haven't seen each other for a long time, and when they meet by chance, they naturally have a lot to say. Unconsciously, Su Yan let go of the prince's hand, and was also two steps behind him, holding Guan Qiwen's arm, walking side by side with her. She didn't notice at all that the prince turned his head from time to time to look at the resentful gaze.

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was temporarily abandoned by his beloved wife, was full of resentment, his handsome face was gloomy, and he didn't like anything. Especially the woman who was so close to his Qingqing, the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it, the more obstructive it became. He lowered his eyes, wanting to throw the unsightly woman into the Xingqing Pool so that she would never appear again.

Guan Qiwen touched her arm, why did she feel a little cold?

"Awen!" The prince of Ping, who was waiting by the Xingqing Pool, only saw his wife in his eyes, and with a flattering smile on his face, he leaned over to Guan Qiwen's side, "I'm ready, just waiting for you to come." ”

Guan Qiwen pinched her husband with her hand, and her apricot eyes stood up, "Don't come to see Qilang and Qiniang soon." ”

At this time, the prince of Ping Wang noticed that the pair of people standing not far away, he now saw Su Yan reflexively took two steps back, and then made a compilation to the two arched hands, "Qilang, Qi, Qi, Qiniang." ”

Su Yan was very curious about why the prince of Ping seemed to be afraid of her. Supposedly, the two don't have much contact. She knew that this was purely because her maternal grandfather and uncle were too powerful, and the scourge of the prince of Ping had a conditioned reflex, and anyone who was related to Lu Taifu and Lu Shaofu would make him retreat.

The crown prince was more satisfied with the attitude of Prince Ping, and his beloved wife returned to him, with a peaceful smile on his face, "Where is my cousin's river boat, let the foolish couple see." ”

"Right in front, right in front." The prince of Ping led the way, and before he went far, he saw the river boat with gold paint on a black background, and the thirty strong men neatly on the river boat.

The prince was happy, "Cousin doesn't need a woman to paddle this year? ”

King Ping Shizi glanced at his wife cautiously, and smiled, "Do you want to get a ranking this year?" "His wife said that now he is also a man with a son, and he must set an example for his son. Every day I won the first place in the river boat race, and I kindly mentioned it to my son.

Guan Qiwen's words were strongly supported by King Ping and Princess Ping, so this year's beauties were replaced by strong men, not to mention, King Ping had to beat the drum in person. Watched by his wife, he was training under the sun for a month, and he felt that life was worse than death.

Even if he is like the prince of Ping, in front of the crown prince and the crown princess, he wants to show his best performance. King Ping jumped on the river boat in a dashing manner, stood in front of the drum at the bow of the boat, habitually ripped off his shirt, and picked up the drum hammer, when he heard a broken shout from the shore: "Qin Yanxu, you bastard!" ”

Hey, he forgot that the crown prince was standing on the shore with the crown princess. The prince of Ping put on his clothes as quickly as he could in his life, and turned his head to look at his wife pitifully, not at all to see the face of Prince Tieqing.

Guan Qiwen was helpless, she didn't dare to look at the prince, so she could only quietly give Su Yan a look. Her husband is a little muddy, just now it was a habitual action, and he completely forgot that there were others watching.

Su Yan smiled at her friend, took her husband's hand, and quietly pulled his sleeve, "Don't scare my cousin." ”

The crown prince glared at the prince of Ping coldly, and when he lowered his eyes to look at Su Yan, he was already tender, "Qingqing, let's go and sit on the painting boat." In order to take his beloved wife out to play, he has already made all preparations. Ang Lee had just sent someone to call the painting boat and stop it near here.

"Okay." Su Yan nodded with a smile, she looked at Guan Qiwen, "Ah Wen, come together?" ”

Guan Qiwen didn't want to face the prince at all now, she smiled at Su Yan, and pointed to her family's building boat, "I still have to look at my son, so I can't go." ”

"Hmm." Su Yan waved goodbye to his friends and was helped by the prince onto a delicate and gorgeous painting boat.

On the table in the boat, all kinds of fresh fruits and refreshments have been prepared, and after the two of them sat down, the quiet sound of Xiao sounded, but it was played by Xiao Twelve, a female actor that Su Yan was familiar with.

The painting boat slowly swiped forward, gradually entering the center of Xingqing Pond. At this time, on the Xingqing Pond, there are many buildings and boats, shuttling back and forth. On almost every richly decorated boat, there are prostitutes performing, and all kinds of music reflect the water, which is particularly beautiful.

The prince held the pot and poured Su Yan a glass of wine, and in the white jade cup, the rouge wine carried the cold fragrance of plum blossoms. Su Yan took a sip and said with a smile: "This is not the plum blossom wine I gave you last year, and it hasn't been used up yet?" ”

The prince raised his glass and drank it all, smiled slightly, and whispered, "I am reluctant to drink." ”

Su Yan's heart softened, and he reached out to hold the prince's hand, "I have made a lot of wine this year, which is enough for Qilang." ”

The prince took his beloved wife into his arms, rubbed and rubbed her little face lovingly, and said with satisfaction: "With Qingqing here, you don't have to drink, you are already drunk." ”

Su Yan took a piece of Feiluan, stuffed it into the prince's mouth, and said with a smile: "Eat a piece of fish fillet and sober up." ”

The prince pinched her little nose, and also took a shrimp, carefully pinched off the shrimp head, and then fed it into Su Yan's mouth, and asked carefully: "How about tasting this shrimp, if it is delicious, let them in tomorrow." ”

Su Yan frowned slightly, "This seems to be Taihu Lake white shrimp?" ”

"Yes." The prince nodded.

"Sent from afar, in the end lost the original flavor." Su Yan shook his head, "It's not as good as the shrimp in the Linxian Pond in our back garden, it tastes delicious." ”

The prince was a little surprised, and he also took a shrimp and threw it into his mouth to taste it, "I eat it very well." ”

"That's Shichiro hasn't eaten the white shrimp he just scooped up." Su Yan squinted, his face was full of aftertaste, "Fresh and tender." She looked sideways at her husband with a soft gaze: "When will it be, Qilang can take me back to Wu County, let's go taste the authentic Taihu white shrimp." She playfully wrinkled her nose, "After eating authentic Taihu white shrimp, I sent it all the way to the plant, which is really completely unbearable." ”

"Okay." The prince knew that his wife had never liked to ask for tribute from afar, so he said no more. It's just that one more thing has been added to the list of things that must be done in the future.

It is the first time for the young couple to go out together after getting married, at this time they get along with each other in the same room, eat at the same table, and then talk casually, there is a warm and sweet feeling filling the heart, and the eyes when they look at each other are also full of strong affection.

Outside, the sound faded, and then the warm and cheerful dance music sounded, and the dancers in colorful clothes, with their slender waists, stepped out of the cheerful dance steps.

Su Yan's attention was immediately attracted by the Maiko, and she didn't notice her husband sitting next to her, and when he looked out the window, his eyes were cold and sharp. A slight sneer tugged at his lips, and the show was about to begin.
