Chapter 81: The Rite of Passage (2)

With no one else around, Chu Yueqing let down his guard.

Granny Yu left as early as after entering the Hou Mansion.

Chu Yueqing made an appointment with her, and Shen Shichu met her in Shuiqing Pavilion.

"What time is it?" Chu Yueqing asked.

"Princess, it's probably the end of the day." Xiao Mei put the two sets of jewelry behind a willow pavilion, and she was relaxed.

Mo Lian is not the same, although the transaction roll of gold silk is not heavy, but Mo Lian holds it with both hands, and her face is bitter. I thought to myself, this thing is more expensive than her life!

At the end of the hour, there were still two hours left before the Shen hour, that is, four hours.

Chu Yueqing calculated in his heart that the luncheon would start at about twelve o'clock, almost an hour away.

So she decided to take a look at Merlin.

"Xiaomei, Molian, let's enjoy the scenery today."

After listening to Molian, the depression disappeared completely. Excitedly, he hugged the wooden box tightly in his arms, and his bitter face smiled, "Princess, you are so good." Where are we going? ”

"Well~ go there." Chu Yueqing pointed to the uninhabited Merlin in front of him, and said, "No one sees it, you can play with it, I will pretend not to see it." ”

Chu Yueqing and Mo Lian walked over quickly, passing by the girls around them from time to time.

As if they were in Merlin, the girls were very cheerful, nodding to each other and walking over.

Xiaomei followed behind him with a nervous expression, such a big Merlin, what if the princess ran into other male guests?

What if the princess is misbehaved?

Although the defense of men and women in Daqi is not so strict, if a married woman like Chu Yueqing is seen talking alone with a male guest, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip.

Xiaomei was anxious, but she didn't dare to say it, so she shouted anxiously: "Princess, slow down..."

Chu Yueqing knew that Xiaomei was worried about her, so she turned her head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaomei." The male guests are all on the pavilion side, and the Merlin here is full of female guests. ”

"Oops~" It happened that there was a cry not far away. Chu Yueqing couldn't help but slow down, let's be more steady.

When she looked sideways, it was the picture of two official ladies colliding together.

The woman directly opposite her was wearing a bright red cloak and had a pretty face, Chu Yueqing felt a little familiar.

Chu Yueqing slowed down his pace a lot, trying to hear some information when he passed by them.

Her eyes still didn't squint, but her mind had already run to the conversation between the two girls.

The girl with her back to Chu Yueqing was wearing a long green jacket, and there was only a delicate butterfly hairpin in her hair. She bowed slightly and said, "Sister, I'm sorry." Yun Fang forgot for a while, played happily, never thought of bumping into you, are you fine? ”

Xie Yunfang is the daughter of the Xie Shilang family who took the initiative to show favor to Chu Yueqing before, and the official position of the Shilang in the military department is not small. However, the guests who came to the Hou Mansion today were either rich or expensive.

Mrs. Xie explained to Xie Yunfang, if she collided with someone, she had to apologize and admit her mistake first, and the guests in the Hou Mansion could not afford to offend their family.

Xie Yunfang kept it in mind, so this would collide with someone, so she apologized first.

The woman in the red cloak had round apricot eyes and an empty look, "Do you know who my father is?" Bumped into me, just say 'I'm sorry'?! ”

Xie Yunfang thought for a while, her mother didn't seem to have taught her, what if people didn't accept her apology? She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sister, what do you say?" ”

"Sister, who is your sister?! Miss Ben doesn't have a sister! ”

Xie Yunfang looked at her at a loss and said, "Yunfang was born in the twelfth year of Emperor Mo, sister... No, you, what about you? ”

Unlike Mrs. Xie's sleek temperament, Xie Yunfang looked a little wooden, and her reaction was sometimes slightly slow. Just like now, she didn't realize that the woman in red was provoking her.

The woman in red was sixteen, three years older than Xie Yunfang, she was even more angry, and blurted out, "Are you a fool like the Fifth Prince?" If you are a fool and apologize to Miss Ben, Miss Ben will not embarrass you. ”

At the end of the sentence, the woman in red's tone was full of mockery.

Chu Yueqing had already walked past the feet of the two of them and paused, standing behind the woman in red with a pale face.

"Really?" Chu Yueqing walked over, stood between the two, and said coldly: "Then what crime should a person who insults the royal family be guilty of?!" ”

"Who are you? Dare to meddle with Miss Ben?! The woman in red asked bruisedly.

"Yu'er, don't mess around." A male voice shouted.

The woman in red laughed when she heard the sound, turned around and ran towards the man quickly, looking coquettish, "Brother-in-law, it was that little girl who hit me first~"

Chu Yueqing looked at the man with a displeased face, and said in his heart: Become a king?

That person is King Cheng, and there is Lehua who pretends to be gentle behind him. At this time, her eyes were staring at the woman in red holding Cheng Wang's hand coquettishly, and her face was blue and white.

The woman in red called Chengwang 'brother-in-law'? And she... Chu Yueqing understood why she felt familiar, it turned out that she was the sister of Princess Cheng Zhao Wan.

Chu Yueqing looked at Lehua who was following behind him, and knew that the purpose of this girl's coming to Lehou Mansion to attend the banquet was probably to help her sister give her a dismount first.

The woman in red is Zhao Yu, the youngest daughter of Taifu Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu has a very high status in the court, and her sister is Princess Cheng, and looking at the intimacy between Zhao Yu and King Cheng, I am afraid that King Cheng also treats her as a sister.

In such an environment, Zhao Yu has been a savior since he was a child. So at this moment, she was not afraid of Chu Yueqing's threat at all, but continued, "Brother-in-law, I am here to enjoy Mei, who knew that the stupid girl would bump into her, and then it was this crazy woman,"

Zhao Yu pointed at Chu Yueqing, "She actually slandered me and insulted the royal family, brother-in-law, you and your sister are both members of the royal family, or my family, how could I say such things?" ”

When King Cheng married Zhao Wan, Zhao Yu was only nine years old, and Zhao Yu was a lovely little girl at that time, and King Cheng and Zhao Wan were childhood sweethearts.

King Cheng doesn't have a sister of his mother, so he treats Zhao Yu like his own sister, and spoils her to heaven.

I also believe in her words. Hearing this, although he felt that Zhao Yu's words were slightly inappropriate, he chose to ignore them. King Cheng looked at Chu Yueqing, frowned slightly, and said, "Fifth brother and sister, Yu'er is still a child." You may be a little stubborn, but you put a big hat like 'insulting the royal family' on Yu'er, is your mind too vicious? ”

The previous uproar had successfully led the crowd to where several people were.

Originally, groups of women gathered around. Some people who are lively and like gossip have quietly started to talk about it.

Chu Yueqing's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled indifferently, "So the Third Emperor Brother also admits that Miss Yu'er has a stubborn temperament?" In that case, how do you know that Miss Yu'er won't lose her words for a while, Brother Sanhuang?

Miss Yu'er lost her words, Yueqing is not the third emperor brother, how do you know that she has a stubborn temperament, and I thought she was deliberately sarcastic about my prince, so naturally she wanted to say two sentences about her.

The three emperor brothers are deeply concerned about the girl, so they indiscriminately say that Yueqing is evil. Yueqing empathizes, so he doesn't care. But Miss Yu'er, you should apologize to me, right? (To be continued)

ps: Qingqing said that he was very angry, and he dared to say that my prince was stupid~ He is stupid, only I can say it!
