It is said that Sima Yu, the king of Qi, originally proposed to share the carriage with Cao Dagongzi to go home because he had something to ask Cao An, but after getting in the car, he was shocked by the behavior of Cao Dagongzi and Fang Yu. So much so that I forgot to ask the question in my heart.

Then he learned that Ouyang Chengming proposed to the second lady of the Hou Mansion. Looking at the seawater hanging in the room, he said slowly: "Miss Cao Er and Ouyang Gongzi are very compatible. ”

It turned out that King Qi was the pavilion master of Qiushui Pavilion.

Cao Xue was at Mrs. Hou's place at this time. The mood of these **** fluctuates a lot. She originally thought that Li Siyu would be rectified by her mother, but she was finally rescued by her eldest brother; Then she heard that Ouyang Chengming came to propose marriage, she thought that he was here to propose to her, but who knew that the person he wanted to marry turned out to be Cao Xiuling. Such an excellent man actually wants to marry a lowly concubine, which makes her face very ugly.

Outsiders will say that the concubine of her dignified mansion is not as good as a concubine.

"Mother, did my father really agree to Ouyang Gongzi's proposal?" Although Cao Xue knew that this was the truth, she still had some expectations in her heart, hoping that his father would refuse this family business.

Mrs. Hou said: "It is a good thing for your father to be able to marry Shangshufu, and he will naturally agree." I can't imagine that slut's life is so good. ”

Cao Xue was very unwilling in her heart, "I am the concubine of the Hou Mansion, why did she take all the good things?" first won the title of the first talented woman in Luoyang, and then got the favor of Ouyang Gongzi, and actually wanted to marry her. Where is she worthy of Ouyang Gongzi? Mother, you must stop her from marrying Ouyang Gongzi. ”

Ouyang Chengming is rich and handsome in the minds of many girls in Luoyang, and the lover of their dreams. Cao Xue felt that Cao Xiuling was not worthy of lifting his shoes.

Mrs. Hou said: "After the last Jiang Ke incident, your father was dissatisfied with me. In other words, he doesn't trust me as much as he used to. It's becoming more and more useless to talk to him now. Besides, Xiu Ling's marriage with Ouyang Gongzi has been decided, and I can't stop it. ”

Cao Xue said: "Ouyang Gongzi must have proposed to her because of her reputation as the first talented woman in Luoyang." I must expose her true colors in public so that everyone can see that she is actually an illiterate straw bag! ”

Mrs. Hou said: "This matter must not be done. After all, she is a member of the Hou Mansion, and if you do this, you will lose the face of the Hou Mansion. I've already lost face in the Hou Mansion once, you can't do this again. Otherwise, your father will never spare you. ”

Although Mrs. Hou hates Zhang's mother and daughter, she is the mistress of the Hou Mansion after all, and she still has to consider the Hou Mansion when she acts. The Hou Mansion is on the cusp of the storm because of the matter of the former prince, and if it is rumored that the second daughter of the Hou Mansion is deceiving the world and stealing her name at this time, it will definitely push the Hou Mansion to the top of public opinion.

Like Cao Xue, she firmly believes that Cao Xiuling is not talented, and the reason why she became the first talented woman in Luoyang must be what means.

She had already inquired about the details and knew that the woman had been veiled that day. In this way, it is very likely that Aunt Zhang found a talented woman and pretended to be Cao Xiuling, which won her fame.

Cao Xue responded with a good voice, but she was still very unconvinced. She doesn't want to see her marry a good husband, and she doesn't want to see her happy.

In a certain way, Mrs. Hou understands her daughter. She reminded Cao Xuedao: "Although you and I don't want to admit it, Xiuling is your sister after all." It's someone from the Hou Mansion, if there is any scandal about her, it will have an impact on you and the entire Hou Mansion. So, let her go for now. If you really feel that you can't swallow this breath, you can secretly find trouble with Aunt Zhang. ”

Cao Xue rubbed her handkerchief vigorously, "I know." ”

Li Siyu slept too much during the day, and he couldn't sleep at night, and he missed his hometown, so he was depressed, so he walked out of the house to breathe. Before I knew it, I had walked to the pavilion where the Grand Duke was playing the piano.

There was a lantern hanging on the pavilion, and with the help of the light, Li Siyu saw the guqin lying quietly on the desk. Apparently it was left by the eldest prince.

Li Siyu sat cross-legged and gently plucked the strings twice with his fingers. She is proficient in fingering, and people can tell at a glance that she is a person who is proficient in the guqin. Li Siyu tried the pitch, then stroked the piano with both hands, her fingers danced flexibly on the strings, and beautiful notes flowed out of her hands.

Then came the ethereal singing:

When is the bright moon?

Ask the sky for wine

I don't know the heavenly palace

What is the year and the present?

I want to return with the wind,

I am afraid of Qiong Lou Yuyu

It's cold in the heights

Dance to figure out the shadow

How is it like to be in the world......

The song "Water Tune Song Head" vividly expressed her feelings of missing her relatives.

At the end of the song, Li Siyu was immersed in the longing for his hometown and relatives.

The eldest prince's residence was very close to the pavilion, and he was attracted by Li Siyu's singing and piano sounds, and he looked at the beautiful figure in the pavilion.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. The eldest prince silently recited these words in his heart, turning a thousand times.

He stepped forward and took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Li Siyu's body.

Li Siyu came back to his senses, and he heard the eldest prince say: "It's already late autumn, the weather is cold at night, and the girl Xiaoyu is weak, so she catches a cold carefully." ”

Li Siyu only felt a burst of warmth spread from his heart to his whole body.

She slowly got up and pulled her cloak over her body. She was only fourteen years old, and her size was only up to his chest compared to the eldest prince, and her cloak was so long for her that it almost dragged to the ground.

"Thank you, eldest prince. Childe gave me the cloak, aren't you cold yourself? ”

The eldest prince said: "I am a man, although I am sick, but I am not weak. You don't have to worry about me. ”

Li Siyu smiled skillfully and looked up at the eldest prince, "Even so, you still have to pay attention." I'll go back with the eldest son. ”

The eldest prince said: "I can't sleep for a long time, I don't want to go back to the house, I want to breathe outside." ”

Li Siyu hurriedly took off the cloak on his body, walked around behind the eldest prince, stood on tiptoe, and draped the cloak on his shoulders. Then he walked back in front of him and tied him with a thin strap.

"I'm not cold, this cloak is still worn by the child."

The eldest prince looked down at her, just in time to see her thick curly eyelashes, tall and delicate nose, and small and delicate red lips. He only felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

After Li Siyu fastened his cloak, he looked up at the eldest son, his eyes were facing each other, and the two of them saw their shadows in each other's eyes.

Only then did Li Siyu realize that the distance between herself and the eldest prince was very close, so close that she could feel his exhaled breath hitting her face.
