After a while, Qiu Xuanling and Ye Mingyue came over.

Both of them are wives, they are on an equal footing, and the moon silver and food and clothing given to them by the palace are the same. However, Ye Mingyue's family has a lot of money, and the clothes and hairpins she bought are all expensive, and although Qiu Xuanling is an official eunuch, her father is not a big official, and she has been following Zhao Dazai to ask for some errands, so she can't compare to Ye Mingyue's bright and beautiful clothes. Fortunately, she usually smiles, and seems to have few troubles, and can often listen to her humming a little song by herself, running happily in front of people.

The two came on foot, Ye Mingyue held the pipa and walked slowly, the corners of her skirt swaying lightly with this lotus step.

Qiu Xuanling was holding a big red peony in his hand, and when he saw the person here, his apricot eyes lit up, and he ran over quickly with his skirt, first saluting Yu Lixiao and Chen Yao, and then ran to Shu Lanqi, tilted his head, and asked him with a smile, "King Qi, I heard that you gave that white peacock to Sister Yu Yan!" If there is any, give me one too. ”

"Oh, there's only one of this, but Miss Yuyan doesn't like it." King Qi smiled and said.

"Then Sister Yuyan will give it to me, I like it." Qiu Xuanling hurriedly went to Yu Yan's side and held her arm and shook it lightly.

"Okay, you have someone carry it." Yu Yan nodded with a smile.

"Great! Sister is so nice! Qiu Xuan was happy, and sat down on the stone bench next to her.

Ye Mingyue walked over slowly at this time, saluted a few people, and then walked to Yu Lixiao and stood, gently dusting his hand on his clothes, and brushing the white hair on his shoulders behind him, his movements were very natural.

Manager Fu had already led the minions to put a full amount of food and wine on the table, and Chen Yao turned the direction of the wheelchair, held the pot with his own hands, and poured two glasses of spirits.

"King Qi, sit down." Yu Lixiao raised his hand, looked at King Qi and said.

Shu Lanqi lightly lifted his robe, sat down opposite him, glanced at the dishes on the table, pointed to two of them and nodded in praise: "This Huai'an dish is the most difficult to make, especially these two dishes, the materials are exquisite, the fire is difficult to control, it is rare to be so colorful, fragrant, good, good!" ”

"The king's cooks are all invited by daughters, and they are good at cooking famous dishes in the world." Yu Li smiled and raised his glass to him.

"King Xiao really knows good things." Shu Lanqi laughed loudly, raised the jade cup with both hands, touched him lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mingyue, you can play a song, and together with Xuan Ling, give the prince a boost." Chen Yao turned her head with a smile and looked at the two of them and said.

"Yes." The two of them saluted and walked to the small table.

The maids set up chairs, Ye Mingyue sat down, gently plucked her jade fingers on the strings, glanced at Qiu Xuanling, and asked softly, "What is my sister singing?" ”

"Well, just sing the tune." Qiu Xuanling smiled and groaned, raised his brocade sleeves, and his soft waist collapsed to the right, posing.

A few people watched, only to see Ye Mingyue's fingers flicking quickly, Qiu Xuanling's waist turned, and he stood with his back to a few people, his face slightly sideways, and his lips opened slightly.

"The swallows in front of the hall outside the west window, accompanied by the small bridge of green water, it is difficult to cut candles, and it is difficult to break the love thread, and the front of the small building is looking forward to the round ......"

Qiu Xuanling danced lightly, her singing voice was crisp and beautiful, and she didn't stop around the beam.

She has a very good voice, which Yu Yan heard when she was in the temple last time. Thinking that her father was just a layman, but she was able to be selected by Concubine Rong Xin for her own use, which means that her singing voice must be amazing, surpassing the childlike voice in the palace last time.

I just didn't expect her dancing to be good, and she could sing so smoothly in the unrestrained and enthusiastic dancing, which is called the foundation, and I don't know how many years she has practiced and how many times she has sung dumbly, just to be amazing in front of her lover and win three points of favor.

Ye Mingyue's pipa needless to say, she tilted her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and completely threw herself into it.

She is a woman who really loves pipa sounds, and when her fingers flick up, the whole person is radiant, and she removes her usual cold appearance, which makes people can't help but look crazy.

Yu Yan stroked the peony in her hair, and looked at it coldly on the side, Yu Lixiao was staring at Ye Mingyue, and the light in her deep pupils flickered. When he accepted Ye Mingyue to his side, he must have liked something about her, or it was the focus of this pair of pipa, not annoying him, not pestering him, so he asked him to choose her from among the beauties to always be by his side, and even shared with her the secret that he was not paralyzed and ugly.

Chen Yao's expression was very calm, but there was a slight melancholy in his eyes, holding the wine jug inlaid with jade, and standing quietly beside Yu Lixiao.

She doesn't have these singing and dancing skills, she is the same as Yu Yan, she can, it's not an ordinary woman's thing, she can save people with a silver needle, and she can also send people to Huangquan with an ordinary blade of grass, but unfortunately Yu Yan is favored, but she doesn't.

In fact, everyone is a woman, Yu Yan doesn't understand why she is embarrassed by each other, why she wants to kill each other for a man! She can't wait to spoil those women!

The garden was full of peonies, fighting for beauty, and there were bees smelling the fragrance, and a few flew over and danced around the peony flowers in her hair, and she raised her handkerchief, and a bee landed on the handkerchief, and shook its tail on the ground, and pricked it her fingertips.

Yu Yan let out a low cry, quickly waved away the bee, frowned lightly, and sucked her fingertips.

When Manager Fu saw Yu Lixiao staring at her, he piled up smiling faces and said loudly: "This bee is accustomed to fragrance, and if you don't want to really know beauties, you won't go to anyone, but go to the Yuyan girl, and the fragrance of the Yuyan girl is the best." ”

As soon as this compliment came out, Yu Lixiao was not happy, only glanced at him coldly, and the thick eyebrows that were broken by the scar locked, and the scar on his face immediately twisted up hideously, making people dare not look directly. Manager Fu didn't dare to say more, so he quickly bent down and stepped aside.

Yu Yan took off the flowers on her head and threw them on the ground, as if the bees were attracted by the flowers, and then wiped her fingers a few times with a handkerchief, moved a position, and sat under the bamboo shadow.

The pipa and the singing are in the graceful place, lingering, like sympathetic eyes, enchanting people's hearts. Yu Yan looked up inadvertently, only to see Shu Lanqi staring at her, and couldn't help but twist her eyebrows in disgust and turned sideways. This is also a crazy prodigal disciple, right? Relying on being a person from Xuanling Kingdom, the queen mother's own nephew, he was so bold that he dared to make a mistake to her in the queen mother's palace.

Suddenly, the bees flew from the flowers to Qiu Xuanling's body, Qiu Xuanling was startled, waved her sleeves, screamed and hid behind the slave.

Ye Mingyue's movements were slower, the pipa smashed on her toes, screaming in pain, and when she got up, she stepped on the skirt again, and the person fell to the ground, and the bees swarmed and screamed around her.

The bees were not satisfied with just stinging the two of them, and frantically pounced in the direction where Yu Lixiao and Shu Lanqi were sitting, the two hurriedly waved their sleeves to cover it, and Yu Yan only used her sleeves to protect her face tightly and hid under the table.

"Hey, come on, get rid of these bees." Manager Fu jumped to his feet, fluttered with his sleeves, and shouted in panic.

Shu Lanqi and Yu Lixiao can naturally protect themselves, but Yu Yan is drilling under the table and wants to hide, and the two of them reach out at the same time, wanting to protect her. When the fingertips touched, Yu Lixiao's pupils immediately sank, and the killing intent suddenly rose.

Shu Lanqi immediately sensed his killing intent, and quickly retracted his hand, and with a wave of the sleeve of his robe, he turned on the bees that pounced again.

Yu Yan had already gotten under the table at this time, peeking out through the crack, Chen Yao was also being chased by bees and screaming, and the scene was chaotic. The corners of her lips lifted slightly, and she laughed inwardly.

Just because she felt that the effect of smearing it to relieve pain was very good, when she came out, she did not put down the thing, but put it in her belt, just saw this bee come to bite her from time to time, and knew that this snow cream is not so easy to use, so she simply opened the thing - since everyone has entered the palace, it is better to be blessed and enjoy it with bees!

After a while, the guards and slaves rushed up, lit torches with fire folds, and threw themselves with their water-soaked clothes, and worked for a long time to disperse the bees.

Ye Mingyue was the most powerful, and when everyone helped her up, who was stung with red envelopes, she was already so frightened that her face was colorless, if she didn't cover her face with her hands, her face would have been ruined. She wept miserably, pitifully pulled down her brocade sleeves, refused to let people see her ugly arms, and kept saying, "Why is it only me who bites?" ”

"Sting me too." Qiu Xuanling cried and pointed to her cheeks, she ran fast and hid behind the maids, so she only got a few bites.

Yu Yan also crawled out from under the table, patted the ash on her skirt, and stood in the crowd.

"What the hell is going on? How do you attract so many bees? Yu Lixiao looked at everyone and scolded angrily.

Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and hulala knelt on the ground.

Chen Yao stepped forward, picked the flowers on Qiu Xuanling's head and threw them on the ground, and whispered: "Or maybe this flower is too fragrant, attracting so many wild bees, hurry up and help a few ladies go back, I'll show you." ”

"Sister, will my face be ruined?" Qiu Xuanling covered her face and asked her in a crying voice.

"No, there is me." Chen Yao gently patted her arm and whispered to comfort her. She has nothing to do, she has been dealing with medicine since she was a child, not to mention that all poisons are not invasive, at least these snakes, insects, mosquitoes and ants dare not approach her.

Ye Mingyue cried even more at this time, covered her face with her sleeve, and walked back quickly. Embarrassing herself in front of so many people has greatly damaged her pride, no wonder she cries like this.

Manager Fu commanded everyone to clean up the mess on the ground, and Yu Lixiao suddenly saw a cloud of snow on the ground, pointed and asked:

"What is this?"

Manager Fu hurriedly went over, picked up the thing, and held it in front of Yu Lixiao, "Lord, it seems to be a balm, which lady may be." ”

Chen Yao's face changed, and she was about to speak, but Yu Yan had already walked over quickly, took the thing, and whispered: "This is the holy medicine that Mrs. Yao just gave me to treat falls, it must have been dropped when I just ran around, fortunately it didn't break, Mrs. Yao said that it takes three years to come out of a box, which is very effective for my injury." ”

Yu Lixiao turned her head to look at Chen Yao, her face was slightly red, and she turned her head away uncomfortably.

"Stand down." Yu Lixiao waved his hand and told everyone to retreat.

Shu Lanqi clenched his fists at this time and whispered: "Since Mrs. is injured, Xiao Wang will retire first, and ask King Xiao to think more about what he said." ”

"Send King Qi out." Yu Lixiao nodded and instructed Manager Fu.

Manager Fu stepped forward quickly and respectfully led Shu Lanqi out.

Yu Yan looked at his back, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why would Chen Yao use such a clumsy method to deal with her? A few bees sting her didn't make her lose much, could it be that this medicine, together with bee venom, would have terrible consequences? She lifted her finger to look closely at the place where she had been stung, and the fingertips were red and swollen, and the pain was unbearable.

"It's going to hurt yourself." Yu Lixiao said coldly, pressed the mechanism on the wheelchair, and led people out of the garden.

Yu Yan sat in place for a while, but she still didn't think of the strange thing, she put this crime on Chen Yao today, warned Chen Yao, and made her speechless. Even if Yu Lixiao wants to be punished, he will play fifty boards each, or he can only pretend that he doesn't know anything, and no one will punish him, and this matter will pass like this.

Last time, it was a spider, this time it was a bee, and there was a love pigeon, could it be that there are still masters hidden in this palace? Is this bee a complete coincidence? Then she didn't become the one who took the initiative to declare war!

Blame yourself, try to be happy for a while, and act impulsively!

She picked another peony flower, and waved it in her hand, looking around, pondering what she couldn't understand.

"Mother." Nian An came and took her hand nervously, "I heard that there are bee monsters in the garden, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, is Nian'en back?" She shook her head and went out with Nian'an.

"I haven't come back yet, I must be playful! Hmph, let the slave and maid go out to do errands next time, the slave and maid are faster than Nianen's glutton, and they must come back early. Nian An begged her in a low voice.

"Okay." Yu Yan coped with it, and saw a group of people in front of her hurrying to Ye Mingyue's courtyard, presumably too seriously injured! It would be a pity if this incident ruined those hands that played the lute, it was her fault! She sighed to herself slightly, blaming herself for not being so vicious.

——————————————— Mo Yanxi: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Wants to Turn Off the Lights"——————————————————

Nian En came back late, put the chicken legs and lotus root on a plate, brought them to the table, and whispered: "Daddy Wu is old, he can't teach anything, so he simply wrote it all on the paper and asked him to read it. However, I'm afraid that this lawsuit will still be lost. ”

"What if you lose? There are so many injustices in the world, and the mother can't take care of them all, right? Nian An glared at Nian En, blaming her for being troublesome.

"It would be nice if I could go to church in person, but unfortunately I can't go." Yu Yan sat in front of the dressing mirror, took off her hairpin, scattered her long hair, sighed slightly in the mirror, and said softly: "I went to court to fight a lawsuit, and the other party was speechless, that feeling is simply beautiful!" I'm really itching, and I can't stop it, it's annoying. ”

"Niangniang, what are your hobbies? Other girls love flowers, and no matter how bad they are, they love to embroider and make shoes, so you love to quarrel with people. Nian An opened the jar of peach blossom wine on the table and looked at Yu Yan with a smile.

"Well, this mother loves to quarrel with people." Yu Yan said lazily, got up from the vanity mirror, and walked slowly to the table.

"Mother, let me see my fingers." Nian En dragged her fingers, held up the candle, looked at it carefully for a while, and whispered: "This red envelope seems to have been bitten by a spider on the mother's arm." ”

"Really?" Yu Yan pulled down her half-sleeved shirt and asked her to hold the candle closer and look closer.

"Really!" Nian An also came over and exclaimed in a low voice, "Look at it, it's all as bright red as blood." ”

The place where the spider bitten it, almost a month later, is still so bright red, it is indeed strange. And the place where the bee had stung should have swelled, but it quickly shrank into a small red dot.

I wonder if the two ladies are like this?

"Come, eat, it's rare to be quiet tonight, no one will bother us, eat well, drink well." Yu Yan let go of this matter and sat down at the table.

"Niangniang, are you saying that the prince is annoying you?" Nian An sat down and took a chicken leg and bit it into his mouth.

"Well, that's him." Yu Yan smiled and nodded.

"Oh, you two don't be quiet, I heard that the palace is heavily guarded, and you can keep an eye on it, maybe someone will squat on our roof and eavesdrop on our talk......" Nian En pointed to the roof, and put his hand to his mouth, his voice was small, and he looked mysterious.

Yu Yan took the wine, drank it all, and said with a smile: "It's so terrible! Coward, not a crow, what are you doing on the roof? Besides, what you said is so, could it be that they still watch us sleep at night? Fart, snoring was also heard? ”

"Mother, can you be a little more gentle?" Nian An frowned, shook the chicken leg in his hand and said, "What is a fart called, that is called turbidity." ”

"Sven to show you?" Yu Yan picked up the wine jug, walked out quickly, and said with a smile: "Come here, I will tell the crow to come down and show you." ”

"What?" The two followed, looking at her curiously.

Yu Yan turned around in the yard, the white Luo skirt was like an epiphany blooming in the night, instantly dispersed, and fell lightly, the moonlight shrouded her body, and she tore off half of her shirt to see the bite marks on her arms, which had not been completely pulled up, so she was showing half of her fragrant shoulders, and a pair of beautiful legs loomed under the thin skirt.

"Hey, on the roof, come down." As soon as she tilted her head, the wine went into her throat, smacking her lips, and screaming.

Nian En and Nian An couldn't help laughing, as soon as Yu Yan touched the wine, she would be very bold.

The three of them were having a good time, when they saw two black shadows jumping down from the roof, kneeling on the ground and worshipping.

"What do you command?"

Yu Yan was looking up to drink, choking on a spicy mouthful, and suddenly coughed so much that her lungs were about to jump out.

Nian En and Nian An screamed in fright and hugged each other tightly.

"You...... What are you doing on the roof? Yu Yan easily relieved her breath, pointed at the two and asked angrily.

"If you go back to the girl, you will make rounds every night." The two looked up and saw her half-revealing appearance, and quickly lowered their heads again.

Yu Yan was completely dumbfounded, covered her mouth and whispered, "Did we listen to everything we said in the house?" ”

"Yes."

"Will you tell the prince the truth?"

"Yes."

"Can you not say it?"

"The prince's order, the affairs in the palace, no matter how big or small, must be known to the prince."

When Yu Yan heard this, her little face sank, and she asked coldly: "Is it Fuzhong, or am I here?" ”

"It's indeed the house, every night, each lady's courtyard will be carefully inspected to avoid thieves from sneaking up."

"Let's go." Yu Yan waved her hand and asked the two to go back.

The two tall figures flashed, jumped onto the roof, and ran towards Chen Yao's courtyard.

"...... Your hobby is about to reach the ears of the prince again, and you still say that you think he is annoying......" Nian'an cried with a sad face, dragging his crying voice.

"Did I say that?" Yu Yan turned her neck and glanced at her.

"Nope." Nian En immediately shook his head.

"They misheard, I mean...... The prince is really annoying! Yu Yan said angrily, turned around and entered the hut.

The wine is swept away!

"What if the prince asks you tomorrow?" Nian asked worriedly.

"I won't ask, Mrs. Mingyue is injured, he must be there to comfort her. Most of the prince's military salaries are provided by the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan led by the Ye family, and the prince's private business names are also taken care of by the Ye family. ”

"How does the mother know? Did the prince tell you? Nian An asked curiously.

"Guess, otherwise, Ye Mingyue is only the daughter of a businessman, why can she become one of the four ladies? The prince's iron horse wants to eat and drink, and he hasn't returned for several years, where does the money come from? Yu Yan smiled, sat down at the table, and ate the lotus root slices with her fingers, spicy, with this sweet peach blossom wine, it was simply wonderful.

"Niangniang is so smart, I'm just afraid to hide it, most men don't like it, even if they know the way, they pretend not to know the way. And the mother has offended all the four ladies, if the four of them join forces to deal with you in the future, you will not be favored by the prince, what should you do then? Nian En became more worried, and held her hand to prevent her from drinking again.

Yu Yan smiled lightly and said softly, "Why do you have to ask men to like it?" It's good to like yourself. They want to deal with me, but if they don't warn them, they will only get worse, am I a bully? No matter how bad it is, I just put on my wings and fly, and ask men to do anything. ”
