The carriage walked forward on the official road, and the hawkers could be heard all around, and Songyan had not come to the market for a long time, so he was curious, but he didn't want to be seen by the lady of the Hou Mansion peeking at the curtain, so she sat still. Mama Wu and Cui Wisp Hongying sat in the carriage when the princess's mansion sent Mama Wu to come, and followed behind the Songyan carriage. At this time, there were only snow buds and clouds in the carriage, and the clouds and fog were a little nervous, concentrating on fanning Songyan, and the steady snow buds on weekdays were a little absent-minded, while fanning Songyan on the side, staring at the car window, through the thin snow-white yellow grass cloth, looking at the lively scene outside the car, passing by a performer, he blushed excitedly, and relayed the scene outside the car to Songyan's chirping. The pine smoke is not obvious on the surface, but in fact, he listens to the snow buds talking about the roadside scene with relish.

The carriage of the Marquis of Dingyuan Mansion was happy and lively, but the atmosphere in the carriage of the Princess Mansion was cold.

Hongying couldn't stand the atmosphere at first, and said to Mama Wu, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so you don't want to catch up with our sisters?" ”

Mama Wu, who was leaning against the wall of the car and closing her eyes to recuperate, did not make any movement when she heard this, Hongying was anxious to ask again, but Cui Wei had already interrupted her, and said on the side, "Her Royal Highness the princess is good?" ”

When Mama Wu heard what she said, she opened her eyes and looked at the two of them, and saw that the emerald red tassels were very concerned about the old situation of the old people, and there was not much difference from when they were separated, so she finally sighed and said slowly, "Your Highness is still the same, if you see it today, you will know, and you don't even wear the jade hairpin ring." ”

Hongying listened to it and said in a daze, "Counting it up, it's been three years since the horse passed away......

Mama Wu smiled bitterly, "No one can persuade her, it doesn't make sense, even the Queen Mother has given up now and gone with the princess." ”

The three of them sighed in unison, silent for a moment, Hongying couldn't hide her words, and asked directly, "Why are you so cold?" ”

Mama Wu glanced at her and said, "I saw that the two aunts who were afraid of the Zhengqiu Hall of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion came, where did they dare to be presumptuous?" ”

Hongying hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think, it's not that we deliberately disrespect Madame, it's Madame that she ......."

Cui Wei broke off and shouted, "Red tassel! ”

Hongying hurriedly retracted, and Cui Wei explained to Mama Wu apologetically, "Don't blame Mama, there are some things that can't be explained to you in detail, just please believe that we also have a reason." ”

Seeing that she was still the same as that day, she ignored the rules of human relations and frankly refused to tell her about the affair, but she was not angry, but said, "The family affairs of the Hou Mansion, it is natural that you can't tell me, but you two must remember that I have grown up in the palace to the current age, and I know that the four words of abiding by my duty are much more important than you think." As a servant, don't try to meddle in the master's affairs, don't lose your dignity and humility because of the master's love, and can't see your own life clearly! This mind should not be there, and having it is the root of the disaster! ”

Speaking of later, Mama Wu was almost a little violent. The emerald red tassels should be again and again.

After half an hour, the carriage stopped, Songyan didn't know anything about the things in the back car, the snow buds and clouds opened the curtain, and Mama Wu had already got down from the back car and came to help Songyan in person. Songyan said politely, and got off the carriage ladder. Seeing that she had arrived at the princess's mansion, the groom who was driving the carriage and the horses pulling the carriage were gone, and there was a woman in palace clothes standing in front of the door of the hanging flowers, which was the female official who followed the eldest princess of Yuyang that day, with a smile on her lips.

Seeing Songyan, she hurriedly greeted her, saluted and smiled, "Mrs. Hou is here, and the princess just asked where you are." ”

Songyan smiled and asked her to get up, and the female official saluted Mama Wu again, and Mama Wu said with a smile, "Yunying will lead the way for Mrs. Hou, I'm waiting for the guests here." ”

Yun Ying hurriedly said, "There are no other distinguished guests, since Mrs. Hou has arrived, let's all go in." ”

Mama Wu helped Songyan to the Hanging Flower Gate, and asked in surprise, "Miss Liang Guogong has arrived?" ”

Yun Ying nodded and whispered, "It's half an hour later, the princess is lazy to accompany her, and persuade Miss Cao to talk to the other ladies on the star-picking platform where she will discuss the Tao in a while, and she will have tea in the Luhua Hall and Hongyang Zidao." ”

Mama Wu shook her head with a smile and said to Songyan, "Do you know Miss Cao?" ”

Song Yan listened to the two of them talking, knowing that there were many noble girls in Beijing, she was a little nervous for a while, showed a smile and shook her head, but did not speak.

Mama Wu said, "It's the concubine of Liang Guogong, she rarely shows up on weekdays, everyone only hears her name, you don't know who she is, and it's normal that you don't know it." ”

She hesitated for a moment, leaned into Songyan's ear and said, "Miss Cao is a little different from ordinary people, if she offends you, you don't have to worry about the princess's face, just retreat." This is also what the princess means. ”

Songyan couldn't hide her surprise, and when Mama Wu saw her like this, she was afraid that she would misunderstand that the princess was not welcome, and explained, "When Daoist Hongyangzi came this morning, he said that he invited them to discuss the Tao together. The princess didn't know beforehand, and she didn't understand that this Cao Gongzi Miss Cao was not single-minded at first glance, why she wanted to come to the princess's mansion with her head broken, she was afraid that the two of them would be different, so she had to send me to the Hou Mansion to ask what you and the Hou Ye meant. ”

Songyan suddenly realized and asked, "So that's what you meant at that time, you went to see Hou Ye, what did Hou Ye say?" ”

Mama Wu smiled, "Master Hou said that it doesn't matter, if Madam wants to hear the sermon, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything, just go." ”

Songyan's face turned red, Mama Wu looked at her with a smile, and asked again, "Are you going to Luhua Hall to talk to the princess and Hongyangzi now?" ”

Songyan was having a lot of courage in his heart, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "Are all the guests here today?" ”

Mama Wu was stunned for a moment, looked at Yun Ying, Yun Ying had already nodded yes, and Song Yan said, "Then let's go to the Star Picking Platform, it seems that if Miss Cao really has any unusual thoughts about anyone, this person is me." ”

Everyone behind her looked at each other, and Songyan had already said, "Please Aunt Yunying lead the way." ”

The star picking platform is two high-rise buildings standing side by side, the top floor is four sides without walls, the view is empty, and the edge of the platform is wrapped in white yarn, the wind moves, elegant and free like a fairy secret land. Songyan walked to the bottom of one of the buildings and faintly heard the sound of a woman talking on the high platform.

As she climbed the stairs, the slight creaking of the wooden staircase carried down the structure of the building to the upper floor, and Songyan noticed that the upstairs was gradually quieting down, and she had an intuition in her heart, knowing that everyone upstairs was waiting with bated breath, waiting for her to appear.

At this time, the tension in Songyan's heart suddenly disappeared, and she was invited by the princess to come to the star platform to listen to the sermon, in front of the Taoist Tianzun, everyone is equal. What's more, Hou Ye also said that there is no need to be afraid of anything!

She cheered herself up and walked up the last step to the roof. I saw that there were seven or eight noble ladies and ladies dressed like fairy concubines on the high platform, but the maids and servants who served beside them were all delicate in makeup and gorgeous clothes, as if they were more noble than the young ladies and ladies who followed Yan Furong and saw them in Yan's mansion, not to mention the extravagance of these nobles, which made people feel awe-inspired.

It's just that in these dazzling crowds, Songyan didn't know why he saw a person standing straight in the corner, not wearing gorgeous raw clothes like everyone else, not too hot, still wearing a plain skirt and robes, and wearing some emerald hairpins on his head as if it were the scene, when he heard Songyan's footsteps stop, and when he arrived on the high platform, this person raised his head and looked at it flatly.

Songyan glanced at her eyes, and a thought suddenly came to her heart.

This person should not be bored in this beaded greenery, but should be as the book says, hanging a sword at his waist and traveling through the world.
