Chapter 14: Repeated Defaults

In the evening, there were many people in the Eighth Master's Mansion, the Ninth, the Tenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master gathered together again.

The tenth master asked the eighth master: "By the way, why is Princess Xueyi not here?" ”

"She's been going out to play for the past few days, and I'm sure she'll be back later." Eighth Master.

"Starling, there's actually something I don't know whether to say or not." The ninth master said with some embarrassment.

"Ninth brother, you might as well say something directly." The eighth master felt that there should be some big event.

"Actually, I found that she and the fourth brother have been very close recently, and the fourth brother seems to be very friendly with her." Ninth Master.

"When did this happen? Didn't he like the thirteenth brother before? The Fourteenth Master was surprised to hear this secret.

"Actually, I found it as early as the last hunt, but I wasn't sure at the time." The Ninth Master seemed to have some difficulty accepting the fact that he would say this.

"The fourth brother would never do such a sharp thing, but this time he actually dared to snatch someone from the prince?" The Tenth Master was very suspicious of what he had heard.

"It seems that she is just a watery poplar woman." The Fourteenth Master said with disdain.

The ninth master glanced at the fourteenth master: "No, I think she and the fourth brother are serious." ”

"Whether it's serious or not, it's harmless and unprofitable for us." Eighth Master.

"Starling, it's better to be like this, I see that the princess has a good impression of you, it's better for you to show your heart for her in private, and promise to stop this marriage, and when the princess is really used by us, we can also be like a tiger." The Fourteenth Master came up with this idea.

The eighth master looked at the ninth master, in fact, he still agreed with an idea in his heart, but he couldn't hurt his brotherhood for a woman, so he asked tentatively: "Ninth brother?" What do you think? ”

"It's useful for our plan, and I'm not against it." Jiu Ye said this in his mouth, but he was actually still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The tenth master knew that the ninth master liked to learn Yi, so he asked, "Brother Jiu, don't you have a good impression of the princess?" Don't hurt our brotherhood for the sake of the princess. ”

"Women have always been just accessories, how can I care." The ninth master said very firmly, perhaps, at this moment, he felt that if he let Xueyi follow the fourth master, it would be better to follow the eighth master, at least, he could see her often.

In the morning, I got up early, and I thought happily in the mirror: Today, the fourth master took me to eat delicious food, I must be reserved, but don't be rude anymore.

Seeing that I was so happy alone, Abi'er pouted very unhappily and said, "Princess, you go out to play every day, and I am bored to death in the mansion alone, or will you take me there today?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No." ”

Abi'er's expectant gaze instantly turned into a frustrated cheek, and I snickered: "That's it, you better go back to the palace and help the third master to fight." ”

"Really?" Abi'er was so happy that she couldn't help but pull at my hair.

"Well, get my hair done first." I said with a little pain.

"Yes, Princess." Abier was smiling secretly, he thought I didn't know.

I came out to have breakfast with Bafujin and Ba Ye, and Ba Ye asked: "Princess, I want to play the piano for a while when I can practice martial arts, **** is pregnant recently, I don't want him to work too hard, I don't know if the princess can help?" ”

"But? My piano skills are not very good, I'm afraid I can't enter the ears of the eighth master. "Although I have learned how to play the piano, which is also required for etiquette in the palace, I still have to say it modestly.

"The princess is modest, the eighteenth brother is very picky about these aspects, but he also praises you for playing well." The eighth master said very politely.

I thought about it: I will have the opportunity to meet the fourth master in the future, and now I live in the house of the eighth master, if I don't even agree to this, it will be too much to say. "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

I nodded to the eighth master and Fu Jin.

Bafujin almost didn't want to continue eating, the chopsticks in his hand were like a thousand catties, and he actually watched his father-in-law chatting so happily with other women at the dining table.

I asked people to go to the inn to give a message to the boss, and then returned to the place where the eighth master practiced martial arts, I stroked the piano while watching the eighth master practice martial arts, and unconsciously had a very comfortable feeling.

There was not a single maid on the field, only me and the eighth master, I saw that the eighth master was sweating profusely, so I stopped, walked over, and handed over my handkerchief: "Eighth master, you wipe it first." ”

"My hands are dirty right now, why don't you wipe them for me?" The eighth master has always been so gentle, gentle like a big brother.

I didn't even mean to refuse, so I wiped the sweat on the eighth master's face, and I suddenly found that the eighth master's eyes were wrong, and I felt a little embarrassed, so I took the handkerchief: "I'll continue to play the piano." Then when I returned to my seat, I saw that when the eighth master was practicing martial arts seriously, I couldn't help but think in my heart: Why do I feel this way? Was the eighth master a crush just now? However, he was obviously just giving my brother a feeling before, why did he suddenly change? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

However, when I see that the eighth master always looks at me from time to time, I can't help but speculate in my heart.

Ba Fu Jin sat alone in the courtyard, very sad, and resented the eighth master in his heart: I conceived a baby for you in October, but you frowned with other women, why? What is a good life? Well, I'm going to see if your son is important, or if your woman is important.

After speaking, he also hit the table with his hand heavily, probably because he was too angry, and he was a little angry, and Bafujin shook his hand vigorously to relieve the pain.

Sifujin saw the fourth master coming back from outside, so he walked over and saluted: "Fourth master, came back so early today?" ”

"Well, last time I promised to paint a statue of Guanyin to Eniang, and I want to paint it as soon as possible." Fourth Master.

Sifujin handed out the hairpin and said, "Fourth master, this is what you left in the temple a few days ago, please return it to her." ”

The fourth master took the hairpin and looked at it, knowing that this matter could not be hidden, so he hesitated for a while and said, "It's okay, I should talk to you about this matter." ”

The fourth master told everything and showed my intention to be together, but Sifujin stood up angrily: "Fourth master, how can you be so confused? Are you doing against the prince? ”

"Okay, we'll be careful. It's just that because you are my Fujin, this matter will have to be sued to you sooner or later, I just want you to take care of Xueyi as a sister in the future. The fourth master stood up, as if he was serious.

Sifujin: "Fourth Master, do you really want to do this?" ”

"Yes." The fourth master nodded firmly.

Seeing the fourth master doing this, Sifujin naturally didn't say much, originally he was a prince, although he was his wife, but everyone knew that this was just a marriage of rights, and what he said didn't have that much weight. Sifujin had no choice but to say, "I know how to do it." ”

I was wearing a cloak and carrying a box of osmanthus cakes, and I was about to go boating on the lake with the fourth master: boating on the lake must be a wonderful thing.

"Sister Princess." I heard this immature voice coming from the front, and I looked up: "Hongzheng? ”

Hongzheng happily threw himself into my arms, I touched Hongzheng's head, and saw the ninth master, tenth master, and eighth master walking in front of me.

I stood up and saluted and said, "Are you going to take Hongzheng to play somewhere today?" ”

"I think there is an annual meeting tonight, so I took Hongzheng out for a walk, and when he heard that you were here, he wanted you to go out with her." Ninth Master.

I'm a little embarrassed: it's been a week, I always release the fourth master pigeons, what are the eight masters' ideas?

"Sister, will you come with me?" Hongzheng's coquettish voice made me unbearable to refuse again.

"Okay, let's do it, since the Lantern Festival is tonight, can my sister come and accompany you later?" I asked tentatively, hoping to take advantage of this free time to get together with the fourth master.

"Alas, although the Lantern Festival is more lively at night, we can take Hongzheng out to see it first, this is the first time he has left the palace." Eighth Master.

"That's right, sister, it's rare for Amma to take me out, so you can accompany me." I saw Hiromasa look looking forward to it, and I compromised again, "Okay. ”

At night, I kept holding Hongzheng and showing him the lantern riddles and beautiful things on the side of the road. "Hongzheng, will my sister take you to guess the lantern riddle?"

"Okay." Hongzheng happily agreed, and I led Hongzheng to the side, but Hongzheng was too short, so I said to Jiu Ye: "Jiu Ye, why don't you pick up Xiao Zheng so that he can see it." ”

The ninth master hugged Hongzheng without saying a word.

I began to look for a lantern riddle, which read: "Orange Island, the boat next to the continent, the boat on the continent is not good." After reading it, I was stunned for a moment and asked the ninth master: "Isn't this a couplet?" ”

"yes, what, no?" The tone of the ninth master's rhetorical question was like mockery.

"Who wouldn't, I think." I thought about it secretly.

The tenth master sneered and said, "Xueyi, no, no, I won't, it's nothing." Seeing the tenth master smiling so happily, it is estimated that he has given up treatment.

"Tianxin Pavilion, the pigeon in the pavilion, the pigeon does not fly." The eighth master read out the next couplet next to him.

"Childe is really amazing" The scholar-looking man handed over a wooden comb: "This is your prize." ”

I took it happily and said with admiration: "Eighth Master, you are so amazing." ”

"This is a trivial matter for starlings, starlings are well-known talents." The tenth master said proudly.

I smiled and handed the comb to Hongzheng: "Xiaozheng, the prize belongs to you." ”

"Thank you, sister." Xiao Zheng happily took it.

"Let's go, my sister will take you to see the others." I hugged Xiao Zheng over.

After watching me walk a little far, the ninth master said to the tenth master: "Tenth brother, you will find an opportunity to take Hongzheng to other places to play." ”

"Got it." The tenth master smiled understandingly.

Then the eighth master and the ninth master also glanced at each other and walked forward.

Xiao Zheng and I bought a candy stick, which is a character made of maltose on an iron sheet, Xiao Zheng and I were walking happily, and suddenly saw the fourth master in front, and I happily led Xiao Zheng over.

"Fourth master, four blessings." My whole face burst into laughter with joy.

The fourth master also smiled: "Knowing that there is an annual meeting tonight, I will come out with Fujin." ”

I smiled understandingly, knowing that the fourth master came out this time just to see me.

"Fourth brother." The eighth master stepped forward: "It's rare that we met, why don't we play together." ”

A few of them took a look, and the fourth master glanced at Sifujin: "It's okay." ”

"I won't accompany you, I'll take Xiaozheng out to play." The tenth master smiled and hugged Xiao Zheng: "Let's go, let's go out to play." ”

"Yes." Then he beckoned to me, maybe the ninth master is usually too fierce, and Xiao Zheng didn't even say hello to the ninth master.

I walked with Sifujin, a few of them walked together, and I just silently watched from behind and in front.

"Princess, can we talk?" Sifujin suddenly invited, I thought it was strange, but it was not easy to shirk: "En." ”

Sifujin and I found a teahouse to sit in, and Sifujin said very calmly: "Actually, Sifu has already told me about you. ”

I was shocked, I didn't expect this matter to be known by Sifujin so quickly, and I had a feeling that my cheating was discovered: "Sifujin, I'm sorry, but I really like Sifujin." ”

"Don't be nervous," it seems that my expression is too obvious, and Sifujin actually comforted me: "I can see that the fourth master is very serious about you, but I want to ask you for one thing." ”

"Sifujin, it's good if you just say it." I said politely.

"You know that your current identity is special, you are the fiancΓ©e of the crown prince, and you are the only princess of your tribe, if you let other people do this, you will definitely make a big fuss about it, I am afraid that the fourth master will really have an accident at that time."

Seeing Sifujin so sincere, I was also convinced.

"I know, I will definitely find a way not to marry the crown prince." I swore a little.

"However, you know that you don't have the ability now, and neither does the fourth master." Sifujin always said this fact that has always existed but has been ignored by me: "But the eighth master they have." ”

I instantly understood what Sifujin meant.

"We have long known that our master will definitely marry three wives and four concubines, as long as we don't hurt our master, I can endure anything." Sifujin said very sincerely, because, at this moment, Sifujin really thinks so.

"I'm sorry, I know how." I.

"If you need help in the future, just come to me." Sifujin said to me with a smile.

I nodded, at least with the understanding of Sifujin, the condemnation of my conscience was reduced by more than half.
