Chapter 6: Melancholy
A few days later, I got up and went to say hello to Eniang, that is, Concubine De.
As soon as I entered the palace, I didn't have time to enter Concubine De's palace, but I met the prince at the gate of Concubine De's bedroom.
I hurriedly saluted: "See the prince."
"Don't be polite, come and say hello to Concubine De?" The prince said very kindly.
"Well, my sister is sick, and I'll ask for peace today." I replied very politely.
"Shu Qiao, do you think, kiss and kiss? Is it a good thing? The prince said with a grin.
Kiss on kiss? Could it be that he is going to marry Xue Yihui?
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately regained my state: "Hmm."
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only say it so stupidly.
"Then I'll go first, you go in" The prince walked still chic.
And I gave a salute, but I was still nervous in my heart.
"Sister Wang, this is for you." I was sitting in the yard in a daze, and Xiao Hai handed over a comb. It's a sandalwood comb, and it smells pretty pleasant.
I took a look: "Didn't the ninth master come?"
"Brother Jiu has something to go back." Xiaohai: "Then sister, I'm going to take a bath."
"Go ahead." I smiled slightly.
After Xiaohai left, I immediately walked in front of Xinghai: "Xinghai, what did the ninth master take Xiaohai to play?"
"The young master has ordered, I can't say." Xinghai has a hippie smile, it seems that he won't be able to say it if he doesn't make a big move.
"Well, it seems that someone wants to stay in the account room all the time." I said it deliberately in a tone of regret.
"Archery." Luo Xinghai immediately blurted out.
"Archery?" Of course I'm going to have a fun time, and next time, I'll go too.
It seems that my smile is particularly sinister at the moment, because Luo Xinghai is already looking at whether I am thinking of any bad moves.
Jiu Ye didn't have time to come over to pick up Xiao Hai today, so it was just right, I took Xiao Hai and Luo Xinghai over in person.
From a distance, I saw that the Ninth Master was already trying to shoot arrows.
"Brother Jiu." Xiao Hai hurriedly ran over.
Jiu Ye turned around and looked at me and suddenly felt more surprised. But then I became even happier.
He also came over and said, "Why did you tell her the secret of the two of us?"
"Not me." Xiaohai is also very innocent.
"How can you not call me for such a fun thing." I swaggered over.
"You've done Fujin, can you still come out to play?" Although the ninth master said so, he was still very happy that I could come.
"If you're interested in this kind of thing, do you still have an identity?" I seem to be looking at the short-sighted Ninth Master.
Jiu Ye also felt despised when he thought about it, so he didn't say much, and immediately took us to shoot arrows.
At the beginning, Xiaohai and I were holding the arrow, but it was really heavy, oh no, this tension was so heavy, I pulled hard. I only heard an order: "Release."
"Whew" "Whew"
Two arrows shot out at once. I was about to rejoice when I realized that my arrow had only been shot a few meters in front of me.
"Haha......"
"Haha......"
I saw that several of them were laughing at me, and I was not convinced, and picked up an arrow on the ground again.
"Huh."
Just when I was about to rejoice again, the arrow was still hanging directly on the arrow.
"Brother Jiu, why don't you teach my sister." Xiaohai couldn't stand it, so he had to help me invite someone to come.
"For your sake, I'll help." The Ninth Master, who had already run to me and saw me making a fool, deliberately responded to Xiaohai in front of me.
I gave him a blank look, Xinghai handed over an arrow, and the ninth master put the arrow on my bow and arrow.
"Three feet apart, center of gravity back, pull hard." The Ninth Master kicked my feet and was still pointing fingers at me.
Although I hate it in my heart, what he said should be said, but it's not right to do it.
I listened to him, got in a pose, and started cumming.
However, didn't you in either? I was so happy that I immediately turned my head and said, "Look at you, what you teach is not useful."
Seeing that I was so "unreasonable", the ninth master nodded, picked an arrow with his foot, and held it in his hand.
Wow, is this a stunt?
The Ninth Master immediately grabbed my hand from behind my back, put the arrow on the bowstring, and made another "boom".
"It's amazing. Ninth brother. Xiao Hai applauded beside him, and Luo Xinghai also coaxed him next to him.
Originally, I still admired the Ninth Master, and seeing his expression like this, I really didn't want to deal with it.
The fourth master happened to accompany the prince to the royal shooting range here, and when he saw this scene, he felt a little embarrassed.
The prince didn't want to say that Shu Qiao was not at this time, after all, he still had the idea of asking the fourth master for help: "I didn't expect Shu Qiao to also worship the ninth brother as a teacher, and the fourth brother can teach her when he goes back."
The prince laughed. The fourth master said with a smile.
The crown prince and the fourth master left together, and we didn't notice their arrival
In the evening, I have prepared footwashing water for the fourth master, but the fourth master still hasn't come back.
I stood at the door and looked around for a while, but there was still no figure: Could it be that the fourth master has something to do today?
I walked back and sat on the edge of the bed and waited, and before I knew it, I was already asleep.
It was slowly getting brighter, and I woke up headlong at once, and the sun outside was a little harsh.
I suddenly felt a little lost, opened the window and looked, "Hmm" as soon as I smelled the sun, I suddenly became in a good mood.
"Sister, why are you here?" Xiaohai was eating, and when he saw me coming, he was a little stunned.
"Why, I'm not glad I came to dinner with you." I walked straight over and sat down.
"What's the matter, in the past two months, my sister has hardly had breakfast with me, and she hasn't even accompanied me much for dinner." Xiao Hai said a little unhappily.
"Since then, I've been eating with you every time." I saw that the maids had already put the dishes and chopsticks away, and I began to eat.
"Of course it's good, but sister, if you have dinner with the fourth master in the future, I won't go." When Xiaohai said this, I was a little surprised: "Why?"
"The fourth master looks a little cold, and these days, we have only met a few times, and we have nothing to say." Xiao Hai said so directly. I am also a little disappointed in my heart: no wonder Xiaohai doesn't like it, the fourth master really hasn't taken Xiaohai out to play.
"By the way, why hasn't the Ninth Master come to pick you up these days?" I sandwiched some food for him.
"Brother Jiu has something to do recently, and he said that he would pick me up for horseback riding in a few days." Xiao Hai said happily.
"Horseback riding?" I'm happy too.
"Sister wants to go too?" Xiaohai.
"Uh-huh." I nodded happily.
"Okay, then I'll take you another day." When Xiao Hai said this, it felt like he took me to fly.
I glanced at him, but I didn't really get angry with him, so I served him food anyway.
After eating, I had nothing to do, so I went to the bookkeeper to pass the time.
"Qiao Fujin, what are you looking for me for?" Luo Xinghai walked in.
"Xinghai, you can teach me abacus." I asked, whimsical in my wake.
"Qiao Fujin, you should find Mr. Accounting for this matter." I know Xinghai hates this kind of thing the most.
"Don't you teach?" I clenched my fists and pretended to hit him.
"I teach, I teach." Luo Xinghai immediately stepped forward.
After Luo Xinghai took the abacus, he returned the abacus to the zero state.
"Xinghai, what has the fourth master been doing lately?" I asked a little probingly.
"Fourth master, I've been discussing political affairs with the emperor recently, no, I took Sifujin to have a light meal with a few ministers yesterday." After Xinghai finished speaking, he saw that I didn't have the heart to learn, so he asked, "Qiao Fujin, are you still learning?"
"Teach." I don't have to think about these things, these must be the affairs of their political circles, so I won't participate in the life.
"Drive."
"Driving"
After the ninth master came back, several of us began to ride horses again, and at this time, my horse also ran.
"Sister, I'll go first." Xiao Hai immediately ran over.
"Xinghai, go over and take care of the young master." I said worriedly.
"Got it." Xinghai immediately followed Xiaohai away.
Now, it's just the two of us.
"Do you want to learn the trick of running a horse all at once?" The ninth master said with a confident face.
"You can do that too?" I looked at it with some surprise.
Jiu Ye just smiled and got off the horse, just as I questioned what he was doing standing under my horse, Jiu Ye smiled at the corner of his mouth, grabbed my horse rope, climbed on my horse, and sat behind me.
"You ......," I had just reprimanded him for why he had gotten into my carriage again.
I heard a roar, and the horse ran so fast that I didn't have time to speak.
Somehow, the horse overtook the little sea who was waiting for us in front of them.
Our horses roared past, and Xinghai and Xiaohai were a little stunned.
When I finally stopped, I staggered off my horse, I couldn't walk steadily, and I was really a little dizzy.
"Take a break, I'll teach you later." The Ninth Master is very leisurely.
But I was already stunned, I looked at Xiaohai and Xinghai, but they turned their heads in unison.
I immediately looked for an opportunity and snuck away.
Jiu Ye carried a basket of pastries, looked at Xiao Hai and said, "Where is your sister?"
"I'm afraid I'm afraid of Brother Jiu, and I've already secretly gone back." Xiao Hai looked gloating.
The ninth master was a little disappointed, and handed the basket over: "Let's eat some first."
In the fourth master's house, the fourth master who should come to me for dinner, but he still stayed in the room of the fourth master, although he was accompanied by the fourth master, the fourth master naturally couldn't ask for it, but the fourth master understood that the fourth master was just angry with me, and if you want to keep the fourth master relying on you, you must understand the overall situation, and give up the small benefits in front of you.
"Fourth master, it stands to reason that you should go to Sister Shu Qiao's, why can't you go over." Sifujin sat on a stool and said.
"What? Don't want this king to stay? The fourth master said in a light tone.
"It's not." Sifujin didn't want to make the fourth master unhappy, so he said, "I'll go and tell my subordinates to prepare."
"Hmm." Fourth Master.
I sat in the courtyard and waited, but the fourth master still didn't come back, so I went out to look for it, and when I saw Xiao Si, I hurriedly asked: "Hey, isn't the fourth master in the house today?"
"The fourth master has already slept with Sifujin." Xiao Si.
"Oh." I felt a little lost in my heart, and since he was sleeping there, I went to sleep myself.
Why didn't the fourth master come? Is there any reason for that? Then you should send someone to say it.
I was tossing and turning in bed, not at all understanding what was going on.
At breakfast the next day, I saw that the fourth master and the fourth fujin had already sat down, so I walked over and saluted: "Fourth master, Fujin."
"Hmm." Sifujin said very politely, but the fourth master didn't react at all.
I walked over and the maid brought me a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
"Half a month later, we went to see the thirteenth brother together, and I heard that his child was about to be born." The fourth master said very calmly.
"Fourth master, why don't you take me there, it just so happens that I haven't seen them for a long time." I didn't know what the fourth master's attitude was towards me, so I had to plead first.
"You're not well, stay at home." After the fourth master finished speaking, he slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks.
Am I not well? What does that mean?
I didn't say much, just politely replied, "Yes."
Sifujin looked at the two of us, but he didn't say much.
At night, I leaned on the bedside to read, because the fourth master didn't come for a few days, I suddenly felt that this kind of life was really depressing, why did I apologize every time, this time, I just didn't. Because, I don't know what the reason is.
The fourth master didn't actually go to any Fujin room these days, but occasionally stood outside my door, looking at the lights in my room, thinking about what I was doing. However, he refused to come in and explain the matter clearly.
I blew out the light, I didn't want to continue reading, I didn't want to continue thinking, because when I fell asleep, I didn't have so many worries.
There is less interaction with the fourth master, but there seems to be a lot more interaction with the ninth master.
"Brother Jiu, why are you taking me out to play, you are obviously taking my sister out to play." Xiao Hai sat on the grass, watching me fly a kite, and guessing the mind of the ninth master.
"By the way, why hasn't your sister been upset lately?" The Ninth Master asked Xiao Hai.
"It's not the fourth master yet, he doesn't seem to pay much attention to my sister lately." Xiao Hai also complained a little angrily.
"What? Did something happen between them? The Ninth Master said with a worried face.
"I don't know." Xiao Hai said. Suddenly said: "If only you were my brother-in-law, as a buddy, I will also teach you how to coax my sister."
"Hehe......" Although the ninth master smiled very happily, he knew that it was impossible, and besides, he couldn't say this nonsense, so he still said seriously: "Xiaohai, you can't say this to others in the future, otherwise, your sister will be in trouble."
"I understand. I said it because you were good to my sister. Xiao Hai said with a righteous face.
As for me, flying a kite alone is also very happy, and seeing them talk for so long, I was also a little tired, so I shouted, "Which of you will come and replace me."
"I'm coming." Xiao Hai immediately ran over.
We played kites all day, and our mood was much better, but I didn't notice that behind Jiuye's smile, he always looked at me from time to time, with a worried look on his face (to be continued). )
