The horses and the vehicle stopped under the two huge paulownia trees at the foot of the mountain, and when they turned over and dismounted, they were thinking about the past when they drank a big bowl of tea in the tea shed at the foot of the mountain with Lu Shaoyun last year, and waited for Xie and Zhou Yaoguang, who came out of the carriage with the support of the maid. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the mentality of walking around at will and scattering his heart, he followed Xie out of Beijing to the Lotus Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, because he was not very interested in entering the Guanyin Hall to kneel and ask for a sign, so soon after crossing the mountain gate of the temple, he made a temporary separation from Xie and went to the back mountain with beautiful scenery and few pilgrims to have a look.

Behind the Lotus Mountain, where the greenery is covered and the birds chirp, there are small and elegant wings and courtyards for pilgrims to live in. Walking along the cobblestone path, passing by the summer frost in the release pond, I suddenly overheard a voice from a remote corner in front of me, which was not in harmony with the surrounding environment.

"Brother Seven, when will I be able to go home? I really can't stand living here anymore, can you help me figure it out? The voice from behind a bush of lush bamboo belonged to a young woman. And then responded to the woman's voice like a yellow warbler, which came from a young man who had some friendship with Xia Shuanghan.

"I'm not a brother, I won't help you, it's just that my grandfather's attitude is too insistent. Before I left the house today, my grandfather told me that if you remain obsessed and unrepentant, then he is prepared to let you stay here until you are married. ”

"Am I obsessed? Am I unrepentant? The young woman's voice could not help but be tainted with a hint of grief and sadness.

"Yes, I know that the Queen Mother's marriage has been dissolved, and I have heard the attitude of Lu Wugongzi not marrying him very clearly. However, why did my grandfather and mother not even leave me a buffer when I had already made a painful decision and decided to hide this feeling in my heart forever, and insisted that I marry within half a year? ”

Hearing the conversation between you and me, who are the two people who are speaking, Xia Shuanghan is already very clear, they are Pei Huanting and her seventh brother Pei Muchen.

"Ting'er, listen to your brother's advice, don't disobey your grandfather anymore." Pei Muchen, who persuaded Pei Huanting with good words, had disappointment and fatigue in his tone of his sister's stubborn attitude.

"You yourself just said that if you can't marry someone in this life, you will no longer have superfluous illusions and extravagant hopes for him, so since you are destined to marry someone else in this life, how much difference can there be between marrying early and marrying late? As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, only if you get married as soon as possible, establish your own family, and have your own children, can you forget him as quickly as possible! ”

"Brother, why do you have to be so cruel? How long have I been in the house? It's only been three months. So, even if I were to delay it for another year, what would it matter? Wouldn't it be okay to give me a little time to lick and lick my heartache alone? ”

"Ting'er, can you stop saying that again! Wishful thinking admiring the Venerable Master's family, in the eyes of your grandfather, is no longer reserved, and now you are still wasting a lot of good time for a man who doesn't have you at all in your heart, and you are sad to yourself, do you want to make your grandfather angry to death? ”

"Brother!" A broken trill fully expressed Pei Huanting's despair and pain at this time, and Xia Shuanghan, who heard this conversation and did not turn around in time, did not expect that the person on the other end of Cong Zhu would suddenly appear in front of him wiping his tears.

"You? It's you?! With two strings of crystal tears on her face, she didn't want to talk more with her brother, so she planned to leave here quickly, but she would never have thought that Xia Shuanghan, who had already married into a high gate and still seemed to live a chic and wanton life, would suddenly appear in front of her when she was the most embarrassed and embarrassed.

"You're happy to see me like this, aren't you? Are you satisfied? Pei Huanting, who had nowhere to vent her pain, glared at Xia Shuanghan fiercely with a pair of red eyes and said: "It's just that, it's a pity, it's a pity, I can't get a good man like Lu Gongzi, and you can't get it either!" Haha, marrying the temperamental and moody prince of Xiangyang, your life must not be easy, right? ”

"You're ridiculous." From Pei Huanting's laughter, Xia Shuanghan, who heard a hint of madness, didn't want to talk about the relationship between herself and Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing as an outsider who was still fighting with her.

It's just that when she shook her head and turned around, and was about to step away, Pei Huanting, who was unwilling, suddenly rushed forward and grabbed her sleeve.

"Ting'er, what are you doing?" Pei Muchen, who was chasing after Pei Huanting and bypassing Cong Zhu, was slightly stunned the moment he saw Xia Shuanghan. But soon, Pei Huanting's rude behavior beyond the norm woke him up.

"Ting'er, don't you let go quickly!" Pei Muchen, who rushed to Xia Shuanghan's side in three steps and two steps, reached out to clasp Pei Huanting's two hands, and scolded while forcing her to let go: "Where did the loyal townsman recruit you to provoke you?" Aren't you crazy to treat her like this? ”

"Summer frost cold! You have ruined the greatest happiness in my life, and you have caused me to be reduced to this, and a woman like you does not deserve happiness at all! ”

Pei Huanting, who only wanted to vent the pain she couldn't ask for, completely ignored Pei Muchen, who kept dissuading and pulling her, and only stubbornly and tearfully hysterical: "What are you going?" You're empty-hearted, aren't you? I'm telling you, I'm not going to let you out of here until I'm done. ”

"Pei Huanting, are you finished?!" Xia Shuanghan, who was irritated by Pei Huanting's unrelenting entanglement, turned around and raised his hand to slap her fiercely. With a crisp sound of "pop", Xia Shuanghan, who was finally able to withdraw his arm, his cold and angry gaze, as if turning into a physical sword, greeted Pei Huanting.

"Pei Huanting, you have to go crazy for a man who doesn't have you in his heart, that's your business, it's just that I hope you don't come crazy to disturb me."

Glancing contemptuously at Pei Huanting, who raised her hand to cover her red and swollen left cheek, and at the same time was stunned with tears in her eyelashes, Xia Shuanghan raised her eyes to look at her, and Pei Muchen, who was also stunned by this slap, said: "Take care of your sister, if there is a next time, what I hit her in the face will no longer be a slap, but a leather whip soaked in chili water." ”

Raising his hand to smooth out the folds on his sleeves, he had maintained a good mood of peace and tranquility since he went out, and Xia Shuanghan, who had been completely destroyed, turned around and left here. Before stepping back to the front mountain along the same road, she had collected enough information from the corner of her eye, and she did not miss the resentful light that flashed in Pei Huanting's eyes.

"I'm sure you've seen everything that happened just now, right?" Xia Shuanghan, who realized that he was being followed shortly after breaking up with Xie outside the Guanyin Hall, originally did not plan to deal with the people who followed him. It's just that now, she was disgusted by Pei Huanting's appearance, and decided to nip the ungrown enemy behind her in the bud at this moment.

"Well, are you happy with what you've just seen?" After walking a few steps on the road back to Qianshan, Xia Shuanghan, who turned the corner, quickly caught Zhou Yaoguang, who was silent and had an expression of "I just came here".

"Yaoguang doesn't know what you're talking about, princess."

Even if it has been debunked, Zhou Yaoguang, who can still continue to perform the play as if nothing happened, bowed his head calmly and respectfully: "The reason why Yaoguang appeared here at this time is entirely because the princess, who is now listening to the scriptures, considered that Yaoguang probably can't bear to sit upright for so long, so she asked me to come out and walk around. Therefore, Yaoguang will meet the princess here, it is really just a coincidence. ”

"Say whatever you like, I only trust my own judgment anyway."

Raising his feet and continuing to walk forward, he passed Zhou Yaoguang who was standing silently on her side and Xia Shuanghan, who was with her side and the personal maid she brought from the south, and said without looking back: "No matter what you want to seek in the Xiangyang Palace, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke or calculate me, I am happy to treat it as if I didn't see it or didn't know." Of course, if you think you're smart enough to play with me to applause, I'm happy to whip me to the end. ”

"......" Xia Shuanghan's straightforward, neat and crisp words made Zhou Yaoguang, who had followed her for a long time, very surprised: Zhongyi Xiangjun is not a person who can play any conspiracy with you, judging from her attitude of wanting to leave the Xiangyang Palace, as long as anyone in the mansion dares to provoke her, she will not show mercy to her subordinates in the face of anyone.

"The princess is really a person who has been born and died, and with her strength, one can top five of me." While silently reciting in his heart, while recalling the slap he had just seen, Zhou Yaoguang couldn't help but raise his hand and gently patted his chest and said, "A like her who directly fights you without saying a word, I really don't take the initiative to provoke it." ”

In the lingering drizzle, time is approaching the Dragon Boat Festival little by little.

In the study room of the summer frost of Xiangyang Palace, while dipping in ink, while dyeing the summer frost of the rain and begonia pictures in the pen, while listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, I couldn't help but miss Lu Shaoyun, who had been away from Beijing for a long time.

Putting down the brush that had just been cleaned in the pen wash, he pressed the summer frost at the four corners of the half-dried drawing paper with a paperweight, and was about to stand up and move his muscles. The bell that came into the house with an umbrella and ran up the stone steps in front of the study brought her unexpected good news at this time.

"Princess, someone from the Chen family came to report, saying that the eldest young master of the Chen family has waited for a miracle doctor who can cure his illness, and the person who handed over the name card is now driving a carriage outside the door, waiting for you to come over the house!"

"Tingxuan is back!" Xia Shuanghan, who suppressed the silent cry of joy in his heart, took the name card presented by the bell, and after opening the post and seeing Lu Shaoyun's handwriting of the iron painting silver hook, he couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement and his eyes were slightly wet. "Bell, if the princess comes to me to chat with her later, you will truthfully reply to her and say that I have left the house to go to the Chen family, do you know?"

Since becoming the princess, Xia Shuanghan, who can enter and exit the Xiangyang Palace freely and unrestricted, always said to Xie and Su Yixing one day in advance before every planned outing. But today, she was unwilling to delay for a moment to see Lu Shaoyun, and it was definitely impossible for her to think about etiquette.

After all, once Su Yixing learned the news of Lu Shaoyun's return to Beijing, he would definitely do everything possible to prevent them from seeing each other. Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who decided to seize the opportunity to meet in front of him, hurriedly explained to the bell, then held up his umbrella and ran quickly to the hanging flower gate leading to the outer courtyard.

"Tingxuan ......" walked out of the palace, opened the door, and stepped into the carriage, and saw clearly in the dim light in the carriage that the person sitting in the carriage was the sweetheart he was thinking about. You forgot what I told you before you left Beijing? ”

"I haven't forgotten." Looking at the face in front of him, which was obviously a lot thinner, but still gratifyingly glowing with a healthy color, he stretched out his arms and gently hugged Lu Shaoyun, who was cold in the summer, leaned over to her small ear and whispered: "I'm here to make people haggard for Yixiao, if I can't see you, then even if I eat five meals a day, I won't be able to get fat back." ”

"Really? If that's the case, then there's no way, I believe you'll have to lose a lot of weight in the coming days. ”

buried her head in Lu Shaoyun's arms and took a deep breath of dry breath that made her feel reassured, and then straightened up and retreated from his embrace, Xia Shuanghan, and said with a light smile: "Ting Xuan, next time we meet again, let's keep a distance." Although I don't care what others think of the relationship between you and me, considering the agreement between me and Su Yixing, I hope that I can walk with a clear conscience when I leave him in the future. ”

"Okay, I got it." Lu Shaoyun, who has always wanted to make up for the regrets of his previous life in this life, does not want his sweetheart to be infamous by others for being a red apricot out of the wall and not abiding by women's morals, so whether it is the last night visit to the palace or this carriage meeting, he is very careful.

In order to marry her openly and openly after Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing reconciled and separated in the future, even if for a long time in the future, they could only nod their heads when they met again, Lu Shaoyun also admitted it.

The rattling carriage drove into the Chen Mansion, and Lu Shaoyun, who jumped out of the car first to hold an umbrella for his sweetheart, quickly led Xia Shuanghan into the courtyard where the Chen brothers lived. (To be continued.) )
