On this morning, Yu Qiao was flying the needle and threading, carefully embroidering the phoenix pattern on the wedding dress for Yu Huan, just when Chu Yun came, Mrs. Chu called her to the study.

Mrs. Chu is an elegant and exquisite person, there are two roll sheds in front of this study, the built-in tables, chairs and beds are simple and exquisite, the spring breeze is warm, the curtains here are covered, the flowers and trees are entangled around, only to feel the shade of the trees, the coolness is secluded, and there is some fun.

Yuqiao walked through the roll shed and entered the study. Black lacquer pattern bookcase, a chair of the same color, a long table, on the table is placed square ancient inkstone, Hunan bamboo carved pen holder in all kinds of brushes inserted into several branches, side pen grid, pen wash, paperweight should be complete. Looking to the left, set up a couch and rolling stool, there is a vase of flower arrangement standing on the flat table of the cloud forest next to it, and the dark fragrance is floating. Not far away, there are a few toy utensils between the walls, and there are several famous landscapes hanging on the wall.

At a glance, she saw a picture of Hanmei hanging in the center of the wall, which was already her own handwriting. That will be reborn ignorant, and the mixed tastes are hidden in the painting, so he looked at his father and said with a smile: "My daughter remembers this picture of Hanmei, and the prince once said that he would take it!" Why is it still hanging in my father's study? ”

Mrs. Chu sat idly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, heard this, pulled the corners of his lips and said, "He has begged a few times, but I blocked him back!" How can I give it to him? ”

He put down the tea bowl casually, stared at Yuqiao, and asked as if he didn't care: "When will you paint a portrait of your father?" ”

"The daughter is clumsy, and the father is afraid that he will not be able to look at it!" Yuqiao's cheeks turned crimson, like a peach blossom.

Mrs. Chu shook his head and smiled deeply: "How have you ever been clumsy?" If you can paint for Zhou Zhenwei, can't you paint one for your father? ”

"I don't know why the father is looking for his daughter?" Yu Qiao bit her lip, her eyes stared at Mrs. Chu brightly, and her face was full of disdain.

Seeing that she was ridiculing a few words, this girl had to run away, and finally couldn't bear to make fun of her, and said: "In a few days, I will go with the emperor and his party to hunt and shoot in the Pushui area on the outskirts of Beijing. In addition to the princess, the queen also selected some unmarried official women to accompany her, and yesterday I learned that Yuqiao's name was also among them. ”

Seeing Yuqiao's indifferent face and unimpressed, he said anxiously: "In previous years, you didn't go to Lu, and there is a lot of mystery in this." In addition to talking about martial arts and hunting, and training soldiers, one is to pick a horse for Princess Xinyang, and the other is to choose a concubine for the prince. Among the many men who went, the good and the bad were mixed, and there were not a few prodigals. In the previous dynasty, during the hunting period, there were cases of official women being humiliated. You must cover your face with tulle, you must not show your face lightly, and you need to be more cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be careless. ”

Yu Qiao remembered that in his previous life, he had also experienced this battle, but he was not panicked. But looking at his father frowning, the color of worry appeared frequently, and he suddenly felt warm, stepped forward to hold his elbow intimately, and said softly: "Father doesn't need to be anxious like this, the daughter keeps everything in her heart, behaves in her words, and tries her best to hide it, and it will be fine for two or three days." ”

"This time the prince chooses a concubine, is Yuqiao really unintentional? If you mentioned the emperor before, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry a lover in the future! "Taifu Chu never wants to see Yuqiao fall into such a situation.

"My daughter has no intention of him!" Yu Qiao smiled and replied categorically: "Even if you have the intention, you can't do it now!" The day before yesterday, when she entered the palace, the queen was close to Zhao Rurui between her words and deeds, and she was sparse and jade. The prince's desire for power is supreme, and he is afraid that his heart will be shaken if he wants to marry his daughter. And why bring shame on yourself? ”

Mrs. Chu bowed her head, thought about it, looked at her and asked tentatively: "That Zhou Zhenwei won my heart, Yuqiao is now also the age to be married, have you ever thought about this?" ”

Yuqiao's little face turned a little pale in an instant, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes for a while, and his words were a little sad: "He, Yuqiao is afraid that he can't get it!" Princess Xinyang is the emperor, and she wants to marry during this hunt, if not, she will marry her brother! The princess's temperament is always what she says, and she is used to being willful. ”

Mrs. Chu was shocked and said sharply: "There is such a thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

Yuqiao's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't cry anymore, and said in a choked voice: "What can you do if you tell your father?" The daughter is desperate not to let her brother become a princess. ”

There was no more to say to each other, and after a while, Mrs. Chu said in distress: "It's really hard for you!" That Zhou Zhenwei was like a princess, and since then he has cut off his official road, and according to his temperament, he must be unwilling. Don't be too pessimistic, just wait for him to deal with it. ”――

Yuqiao rode in a soft sedan chair and took Caifu with him, originally planning to buy some flower bandages, colorful embroidery threads and base cloths, etc., to make some pillowcases for Yuhuan and the like.

Through the green gauze curtain, you can see that the street market is bustling and crowded, and it is a scene of a harmonious life.

Coincidentally, she was passing by Zhenghong Gate and Jiannan Street, the three-character plaque of "Yanjing Mansion" was hung high, and then the drums were silent, the stone lion was fierce, she couldn't help but smile, the majestic strength in front of this door, how to be like that person!

After thinking about it, she asked the sedan chair man to stop on the side, called Caifu to her side and said: "I'm a little thirsty, you go a hundred steps along this street, there is a shop that sells fruit and dew, among which Gantang pear juice is very cool and sweet, you go and buy cans with me." ”

Cai Fu took the order and left, Yu Qiao looked at the Yanjing Mansion in a daze, and for a while he was in a trance, and recited the person in his heart, thinking of the tight place, his face was dilucent.

Zhou Zhenwei led Gu Sheng and Feng Qi out of the palace, the underground casinos were being cleared one by one, and there were still a few corners resisting, so he planned how to encircle the next step, and Gu Sheng and the two nodded yes.

At this moment, his eyes glanced at him inadvertently, and he couldn't help but be stunned and dumbfounded.

"Lord Zhou?" Feng Qi was chatting with him to a good place, and when he suddenly twisted his eyebrows and stared at a certain place, he also looked over curiously, it turned out to be a girl's soft sedan chair.

"You go first, and I'll follow." Zhou Zhenwei drank in a heavy voice, but he didn't have time to look at them more, and hurriedly walked straight towards the soft sedan chair.

Gu Sheng Feng looked at each other, which made Lord Zhou lose his composure, and it was the first time he saw it in such a hurry, but he was afraid of his constant deterrence, so he suppressed his curiosity, did not stay, and went first.

"Why did Miss Yuqiao stop here?" He walked to the front of the sedan chair and said respectfully.

Yuqiao is stunned! Suddenly, Zhou Zhenwei's dark and slightly hoarse voice sounded in his ears, and for a while, he couldn't help but reach out and lift the curtain, and look at him with watery and misty eyes.

The four eyes met, and there were thousands of words in each other's hearts, but they didn't know where to start, and the two were stunned for a long time, and they actually had a lot of lingering meanings.
