Waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to go out, Ah Xiu asked Ying'er to pass a message to Huilan, asking her to go to her room to have something to say, and she and Su Xin took Chenghuan back to the room. Sitting down in the front hall, Ah Xiu asked Mei Xiang Juyun and the two to take Cheng Huan to the market or the garden to hang out, and then come back at lunch, and the two girls took the order and left. Su Xin saw that Ah Xiu's face was not good, and knew that he was going to call Hui Lan to question, so he didn't say much, so he burned sandalwood in the incense burner, in order to make the incense smeller indifferent, and also to relieve Ah Xiu's depression.

And said that Huilan got cheap last night, naturally she was complacent, and in the morning Zhu Yuanzhang woke up and left in a hurry, she remembered that if Ah Xiu was difficult, she was really not easy to explain, she was nervous, she finished dressing up and had breakfast, and there was no movement, and I heard that the prince was out of the house, and my heart had just settled, I heard Cui Wei say that Ying'er in Ah Xiu's room was coming, and her heart was weak again, waiting for Ying'er to explain her intention, please go over, Huilan secretly complained in her heart: If the prince didn't go out, he would have gotten better and cover up, But she came to call when the prince went out, and she must have been sad to pass this level this time. Anyway, the ten-year contract has expired, and I just hope that I can get pregnant again last night with the prince, so that I don't have to fall under Ah Xiu's name again, and I can be regarded as having a support. Now she is a concubine, stretching out her head is a knife and shrinking her head is also a knife, let it be fate. So he followed Ying'er.

Drinking the green phoenix pith that Su Xinpao sent to Jian'an, Ah Xiu stared at the laurel tree at the door, and only drank half a lamp, then saw that Ying'er led Huilan to come, seeing that she had not dragged it, and came so fast, knowing that she was ashamed, Ah Xiu felt a little more comfortable and proud. When Huilan entered the door and saluted, Ah Xiu still asked her to sit next to her according to the etiquette, and Su Xin wanted to pour her a cup of green phoenix marrow, but Ah Xiu pressed her hand without a trace, gave Ying'er a look, and said with a smile Let Ying'er serve tea, see Huilan take a sip, and then asked casually: "Yesterday, my sister left the table and invited the prince over, why didn't she say hello?" Early in the morning, the prince came to call the door in disheveled clothes, which startled me, why didn't he take care of the prince's clothes and let him run over in a hurry? It's a joke for outsiders to see it. What does my sister think? ”

Hui Lan took the tea and took a sip, frowning, the tea turned out to be old tea with a pillow. When he was about to have a seizure, when he saw Ah Xiu talking, he didn't dare to interrupt, so he stared at Ying'er with his eyes, but Ying'er looked straight ahead as if she was nothing. Huilan was angry and annoyed, hearing Ah Xiu's words, she saw Ah Xiu's unhappy face from the door all the time, so she had to laugh dryly: "It's my sister who is rude, yesterday the prince drank a few more glasses, and wanted to rest, I saw that my sister was busy, and the prince was urging me to be tight, so I had to bring the prince to my room first." ”

That's not a surprise! The prince said that he wanted to talk with me last night and enjoy the river lanterns together, why did he urge his sister to go to your room? Ah Xiu looked at her with a sour smile, "Could it be that the prince was dizzy and was mistakenly received by his sister?" These words are obviously humiliating Hui Lan pretending to be Ah Xiu to deceive the prince to go back, and derogatory to Hui Lan is playing the drama of Li Dai Taozhuang. Huilan gritted her teeth secretly, still laughing: "Sister said she was laughing!" The prince was drunk and confused, and he didn't shout people's names in his mouth, but he just pulled me and said that I was going to rest, and my sister couldn't excuse herself, right? ”

Hmph, it's hard to excuse yourself, and you're too good at acting, since you don't accept the offer, I'll simply play Tai Chi with you, see how long you endure! Ah Xiu sneered in his heart, still with a gentle smile on his face: "If that's the case, it's really hard to excuse yourself, but how can a house slave sue me that the prince shouted my name when he was drunk?" Could it be that my sister has a nickname I don't know, called Ah Xiu? In this way, it is a coincidence that there is no book! Ah Xiu teased her gorgeously.

"This-" Hui Lan's retort came to her mouth, but she still swallowed it stiffly, "I'm afraid that my sister's body is on fire, why doesn't this tea taste right?" Hui Lan looked at him left and right and asked about tea. Ah Xiu was also happy to play with her: "Really? Ying'er, what kind of tea are you making? As he spoke, he looked at Ying'er. Ying'er smiled: "Mrs. Hui, I came in and bought a lot of good tea, Ying'er didn't look at it carefully, she took a bag and brewed it, and the tea should be Longjing before the rain." It should be that the lady is angry and her mouth is bitter, so everything she tastes is bitter. ”

"You!" Huilan opened her mouth and was about to scold, but Ah Xiu spoke out at the same time: "Sister Huilan! Hui Lan had to glance at Ying'er who was smiling at her, and turned her head to wait for Ah Xiu's words. Ah Xiu said with a smile: "Before the rain, the taste of Longjing tea is light and long, and the Longjing in the house is a good tea with the aroma of chestnuts. ”

Without waiting for Huilan to answer, Ah Xiu said to herself: "I see my sister's face is crimson and full of peach blossoms, I'm afraid that I am moved by something?" Or was it the osmanthus in my yard that provoked asthma? No, I really want to find a doctor to give my sister some recipes for cooking. Ah Xiu's words were vicious, obviously saying that Huilan had a spring, so she would take the prince back to the room, but she wanted to cover it up on her face, and deliberately embarrassed Huilan in front of the girls in the room.

Su Xin wanted to laugh when she heard it, but in the end she was a little reserved and endured, and Ying'er also endured it, but Yan'er at the door laughed softly, Huilan's eyes glanced at her viciously, but Yan'er looked up at the sky and ignored her. Ah Xiu pressed step by step: "Su Xin, give my half of the tea to Mrs. Huilan to taste to see if it is also bitter." After Su Xin nodded and handed the tea to Hui Lan, Ah Xiu said again: "Our sisters have never distinguished each other, and my sister will not dislike the tea that my sister eats leftovers, so I will pick my sister's reason, right?" ”

Huilan knew that Ah Xiu had made up her mind to give herself a disgrace because of what happened last night, and her face changed suddenly a few times, the nail of her left hand was embedded in the palm of her hand, and she desperately squeezed out a trace of laughter: "Sister said that she was joking, my sister and sister have always been inseparable from each other, how can they dislike it?" As he spoke, he took a sip of the tea with his right hand, but he felt that it was extremely sweet. Ah Xiu saw that she held back her anger and tasted it, and asked again, "What does my sister think?" If it's not bitter, it's my sister who just tasted it wrong, and if it's bitter, drink more of the fire and heal it well! After speaking, he pulled out the handkerchief and covered his mouth lightly, and laughed deliberately.

It's hard to do now, whether you are bitter or not is your own business, and it has nothing to do with others, even so, it is better to say that you have tasted wrong. Hui Lan had to answer with a smile: "What my sister said is very true, my sister tasted it wrong, this tea is very good!" Ah Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "That's fine, but for peace of mind, I thought it would be better to ask for a pulse, Yan'er, go and ask the doctor to come." My sister should sit down and wait for the pulse to be checked. ”

Hui Lan secretly wanted to grit her silver teeth, but after all, she couldn't fight Ah Xiu, so she had to nod silently. Ah Xiu refused to stop: "Recently, I heard that my sister is dressed a lot, and she can't even see a little gold and jade on her head. I know that my sister loves to dress up very much, is it because of the last time I was overdressed, and I am still jealous of my sister and me, and I deliberately wore less? The prince mentioned this morning that he asked me to ask you, how are you reading the female analects? ”

Hearing Ah Xiu attack himself with a gun and a stick like this, Hui Lanqi's lungs were about to explode, and she almost vomited blood: What kind of heart do you have! I can't make it! I can't dress gorgeously, I can't be plain, and I make fun of me with the girl's clothes, you are too deceitful! Even if there is a fuss, the prince may not protect you! Thinking of this, Hui Lan also said with a cold face: "Is my sister trying to alienate my sister now?" How do you talk about clothing again? I didn't plan to go out today, so I was naturally more casual, and my sister couldn't get used to it. It's just that my sister has always been a good person, why is she so calculating today and insisting on talking to my sister? ”

Ah Xiu saw that she was finally annoyed, but she didn't want to play with her anymore, and wanted to send her away: "When my sister said this, I also felt that I was a little tired of talking, I'm afraid that for the Mid-Autumn Festival, for the sake of the bad rest these days, I'll go and lie down, and I won't leave my sister." My sister will go by herself, and when the doctor comes, I will order them to take them to my sister's room! After speaking, he didn't wait for her to say anything, so he said to Ying'er: "Ying'er, send Mrs. Fang." He got up and threw down Huilan and entered the room with Su Xin. Huilan hated her very much in her heart, but she could only look at her back and be ruthless, and Ying'er came to catch her up: "Concubine Niangniang, please." Our princess likes to close the door and try to be clean. Huilan had no choice but to snort coldly and go back to the room.

Seeing that his birthday was approaching, Ah Xiu didn't dare to fly the pigeon to urge Zhu Wenzheng because of the lesson of being intercepted by Zhu Yuanzhang last time, so he had to formally urge Zhu Wenzheng a few times, but they were all sunk in the sea and there was no response. The news brought back by the person sent to investigate said that since Zhu Wenzheng was appointed as the governor, he was even more indulged in staying in the land of fireworks, drinking and having fun all day long, sleeping in flowers and willows, and often composing music in the mansion, so that the courtesans rehearsed in the mansion day and night. Ah Xiu asked carefully, only to know that all the current military deployment and defense affairs in Hongdu City had been handed over by Zhu Wenzheng to his subordinates, and he was just having fun.

Gradually, Ah Xiu saw through Zhu Wenzheng, and she knew that this child, who was still sincere and diligent in the past, had gone astray and gone too far in the fork of fate. The original assassination may not have been personally instructed and done by him, but only now, this person is really overwhelmed, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer strictly punished, such a complete playboy and gentleman is no longer suitable for guarding a military important place like Hongdu. In this way, tragedy is really unavoidable.
