Chapter 49: Attempted Overtures

"Fourth Miss, why are you standing here and not leaving?" Suddenly, Leng Qianran's voice came, and Yu Xuanji came back to her senses and smiled slowly at her.

"The sound of the fourth miss's piano is really shocking, can the fourth miss give us some guidance in the future?" A hint of frenzy flashed in Leng Qianran's eyes, and she said with a smile on the corner of her lips.

Yu Xuanji smiled: "Miss Leng's piano skills are also very superb, and she would never dare to give advice!" ”

"Fourth Miss is humble." Leng Qianran smiled, "The eldest princess's banquet is about to start, let's go." ”

Yu Xuanji didn't want to be watched by others here, so she walked over with Leng Qianran.

The meal was bland, although Yu Xinya and Yu Huilan felt extremely and crazy about Yu Xuanji's acquisition of the Jade Cui Xinqin, but they couldn't do anything in the eldest princess's mansion.

After eating, it is to enjoy the flowers, the eldest princess took everyone to the garden, the flowers here are planted by the eldest princess herself, so the eldest princess is very precious.

Everyone walked together in twos and threes chatting, Yu Xinya glanced at Yu Xuanji, and said slowly: "The fourth sister is really hidden deep enough, I haven't heard the fourth sister practice the piano in the past, but I didn't expect the fourth sister's piano skills to be so outstanding!" ”

"The eldest sister laughed, Xuanji didn't have that mood in the past, if it weren't for today's princess's prize Xuanji really liked it, she wouldn't come forward to offer ugliness......" Yu Xuanji sneered at each other, giving Yu Xinya no room at all, making Yu Xinya's face "pout" and turn red.

She just wants to tell everyone that even if she Yu Xuanji shows her hand casually, she can defeat Yu Xinya!

Yu Xinya's eyes were full of anger, biting her lip and her nails embedded in the flesh, but the pain could not suppress the anger in her heart.

Yu Huilan glanced at this, didn't say anything, and chatted with the ladies beside her.

The daughters standing beside Yu Xinya covered their mouths and snickered.

"Hmph, it's just that you can play the piano, Yu Xuanji, don't think you're amazing!" Chu Wanwan said sarcastically, her eyes were full of disdain, "You are just a concubine, it is your blessing to be able to come to the eldest sister's banquet, don't think that you are superior to others!" ”

Chu Wanwan's words were direct and hurtful, Yu Xinya lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Princess, the fourth sister is not sensible, and I hope the princess will take care of her." ”

"Hmph, if you don't know anything, you have to discipline yourself! It's really a concubine who can't be on the stage, and she cocks her tail when she thinks she has won some prize! Chu Wanwan looked at Yu Xuanji mockingly, thinking that she could see her angry look, but Yu Xuanji stood there motionless.

Such a light and breezy Yu Xuanji made Chu Wanwan very unaccustomed to it, and when she was about to make another mockery, Yu Xinya hurriedly said: "Princess, the fourth sister has been studying in the mountains all the year round, and she has not participated in such a banquet, so naturally there is something wrong with it, and please let the princess let the fourth sister go!" ”

Yu Xuanji glanced at Yu Xinya, who was frequently acting, it was really funny, what was wrong with her?

Obviously there is no mistake in her, but when Yu Xinya said this, people who don't understand still think that they are pampered and proud! I thought she was so amazing if she won a prize!

Isn't saying that he has been on the mountain just reminding everyone of the fact that he is a nemesis? Who in the entire capital didn't know that he was disliked by Yu Zhiyuan because of the name of his nemesis, so he was accepted by the ghost and wisdom!

There are more and more people around, praising Yu Xinya's beautiful girls, interceding for her sister-in-law, and sarcastically mocking Yu Xuanji for not understanding the rules.

Yu Xinya put on a look of embarrassment, making everyone more convinced that Yu Xinya is a kind person, and she will not hesitate to go against the princess for the sake of her sister!

"What's going on?" Chu Hongze walked over and asked suspiciously, and when he saw Yu Xinya's aggrieved appearance, his heart sank.

Yu Xuanji sneered and said slowly, "Big sister, what do you mean by this?" The princess just reminded me a few words, and didn't say that she would punish me at all, and you said so, but you caught the princess in injustice, and thought that the princess was some kind of high-flying person! After speaking, he turned to Chu Wanwan and blessed his body, "Xuanji remembers the princess's teachings, thank you for the princess's guidance!" ”

Yu Xinya's face turned pale, as if she had been greatly wronged: "Fourth sister, I'm also worried about you, how can you say this......" Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly, and tears fell.

The people present were all human spirits, if they thought Yu Xinya was very kind-hearted at the beginning, but now when they heard Yu Xuanji's words and recalled what the princess said, they knew that Yu Xinya was taken out of context and wanted to gain a good reputation, and suddenly lost her good feelings.

Yu Xuanji looked at Chu Hongze, saw that he frowned, and looked at him very dissatisfied, and a trace of disdain flashed in his heart.

"Humph!" When Chu Wanwan saw Yu Xinya's tears, she was irritable in her heart, and strode forward, without even giving a handout to everyone.

Yu Xinya slowly raised her eyes and looked at Chu Hongze, not to mention how lovely she was when she wanted to speak, even a man would feel pity and pity.

Chu Hongze opened his mouth and said, "Fourth Miss......" Just shouted, his voice suddenly paused, and his voice changed, and he said, "Hehe, the eldest lady misunderstood the princess's words, but it was also for the sake of the fourth miss, and the fourth miss must also be a fierce person, and she can't tolerate others wronging, it's just a trivial matter, but don't hurt the sister's feelings because of this matter." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Yu Xuanji and Yu Xinya.

Yu Xinya bit her lip, she didn't expect that Chu Hongze, who had always been on her side, would actually speak out to help Yu Xuanji! Trying to suppress the unwillingness in his heart, he barely showed a smile: "What the third prince said is true." ”

Yu Xuanji raised her eyebrows, knowing that Chu Hongze was showing favor to herself, she lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes: "Xuanji naturally won't blame her sister for this incident, knowing that her sister is also good for Xuanji." Then he raised his eyes, smiled, and walked to the other side.

Seeing this, the people around also dispersed, Chu Hongze took a step forward, but Yu Xinya had already left.

Chu Hongze pursed his lips slightly, turned his head to look at Yu Xuanji's back, and strode forward.

"Xuanji......" Chu Hongze walked a few steps quickly and came to Yu Xuanji's side, with a gentle smile on his face, "What happened just now ......"

"What happened just now has passed, and my big sister and I won't have a disagreement because of this." Yu Xuanji said first, a trace of boredom flashed in her eyes, "I don't know if the third prince has something to do with Xuanji?" ”

Chu Hongze smiled and asked tentatively: "Xuanji seems to hate me very much, I don't know what I did badly?" ”

Yu Xuanji suddenly laughed, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, but the anger in her heart was rolling, shouting, hate? No, it's disgust, it's hate! She couldn't wait to break Chu Hongze's body into ten thousand pieces, so as to comfort the spirits of her three children in the sky!

The summer breeze blew, Yu Xuanji raised her head, and asked pretending to be puzzled: "Where did the third prince start?" I have only met the three princes a few times, and I am just a little concubine, and I am not allowed to judge what the three princes have done badly. Yu Xuanji took a step back and blessed her body, "If the third prince is fine, Xuanji will leave first." ”

"Xuanji!" Where could Chu Hongze let Yu Xuanji leave so easily, hearing Yu Xuanji's calm words, he pretended to sigh sadly, "Xuanji, don't you know my situation?" ”

Yu Xuanji didn't speak, just looked at the pond.

"Xuanji, my mother is just a palace maid, and she is not loved by my father, so I can't get into my father's eyes, Xuanji, I have been bullied and humiliated since I was a child......"

"What did the third prince say? The identity of the third prince is humble, and the identity of Xuanji is even more humble! Yu Xuanji interrupted Chu Hongze's words and said lightly, "It's better not to say such things in the future, the third prince is also a dragon son no matter what, and it is not appropriate to say these things to a concubine of Xuanji, Xuanji will leave." With that, Yu Xuanji was about to leave.

Chu Hongze took a step forward, wanting to grab Yu Xuanji's wrist and stop her from leaving, but Yu Xuanji turned sideways, totoed a little, took a few steps back with light skills, and glanced at Chu Hongze coldly.

Chu Hongze was amazed by her martial arts, and just when she wanted to say something, Chu Yuze walked over: "Fourth Miss." ”

"The Eighth Prince!" Yu Xuanji smiled slowly, "Thank you to the Eighth Prince for asking for an invitation for Xuanji." ”

"Hehe, it's just a gesture." Chu Yuze smiled faintly, and then looked at Chu Hongze, "The Third Emperor Brother is also here?" ”

Chu Hongze regained his previous calm smile: "I had a good conversation with Xuanji, but I didn't expect the eighth brother to come suddenly." ”

Chu Yuze smiled, naturally knowing that Chu Hongze was secretly telling him, it was not the right time for him to come, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yu Xuanji: "Fourth Miss, the lotus flowers in front are blooming just right, why don't you go and watch it together?" ”

Yu Xuanji responded with a smile: "Okay! As he spoke, it was convenient for Chu Yuze to go side by side.

Chu Hongze looked at the backs of the two, his face turned black in an instant, and there was a vicious aura around him.

Yu Xinya took in the situation here, a trace of cruelty flashed in her eyes, and she turned to the little maid on the side and said, "Do you know what to do?" ”

"Yes, miss, the slave understands."

Yu Xinya nodded, put the money bag into the little girl's hand, and then said, "Go!" ”

The little girl happily put away the money bag, lowered her head with tea, and ran over in a hurry.

"The fourth lady doesn't seem to like the third brother, can you tell me the reason?" Chu Yuze asked curiously.

Yu Xuanji glanced at Chu Yuze quietly from the corner of her eyes, and said lightly: "Does the Eighth Prince want me to have other feelings for the Third Prince?" Since I chose to cooperate with the Eighth Prince, it is natural to keep my distance from the other Princes. ”

A glint flashed in Chu Yuze's eyes: "What the fourth young lady said is that I think too much." After a pause, he continued, "I heard that the third brother is harvesting rice widely, does the fourth lady know the third brother's intentions?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Xuanji's feet paused suddenly, and an unknown light flashed in her eyes: "How many days? ”

"Started yesterday." Chu Yuze saw Yu Xuanji's expression solemn, and he didn't dare to despise it, so he told the news he had inquired about, "Not only in the capital, but also in various places, the third brother has begun to collect grain at a high price. ”

Yu Xuanji's brain turned rapidly, and suddenly his pupils shrank suddenly, at this time in his previous life, Bai Yang, the strategist beside Chu Hongze, calculated that there would be a locust disaster immediately, this disaster was very strict, many people starved to death, and the food issued by the treasury was far from enough, and in the end, Chu Hongze donated his food for free, which was unanimously praised by the ministers, and also left a good impression in the emperor's heart.

Yu Xuanji had been immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice the figure in front of her at all.

Chu Yuze saw it and was about to remind him, but he saw that the maid knocked down Yu Xuanji, and the tea in her hand splashed Yu Xuanji.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Yu Xuanji also came back from her contemplation, frowned slightly, glanced at the panicked maid, and said lightly: "Get up." ”
