"Do you guess why the prince is here today?" Feiyan came back from duty, and before he could untie his cloak, he opened his mouth and asked.

Tilt was sitting on the edge of the bed folding clothes, shaking his head when he heard the words. When I left the east hall, I met them and their group coming back, and it happened that it was her turn to rest for half a day in the afternoon, so I didn't know what happened later.

Feiyan walked up to her, only then did she notice the stack of clothes spread out on the bed, and said in surprise, "You know, the news spread really fast." ”

"The courtyard is on the mountain, and it's very cold, so you should bring more clothes to protect against the cold. By the way, I remember that last year Madame gave me a thick cloak, and I will find it for you. She tossed her cloak aside and said she was about to get it.

His hand was grabbed, and Feiyan turned around and saw a face full of shock, "What are you talking about?" ”

"The courtyard on the mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, you ...... Don't know yet? Isn't it because you have to go to another courtyard? ”

Tilt let go of her hand, his eyes blank.

"That's just right. I don't know why the prince suddenly changed his mind, I heard that he didn't plan to go to the other courtyard this year, but now he came over to ask his wife to prepare, saying that he would take his wife with him. Feiyan rummaged through the box, "Dump, do you remember where I put my little red jacket and my new cotton shoes?" ”

"Madame going too?" Tilt muttered to himself, surprised by the thoughts that had just flashed through his mind. Then he smiled, where was she worth the prince's attention.

Feiyan didn't suspect her strange question, "yes." Over the years, the prince has only brought Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Min, but this is the first time that our wife has gone. ”

Finally noticing her somewhat pale face, Feiyan walked back to the bed and sat down, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" Did you do something stupid again? ”

I smiled silently in my heart, but I didn't do anything stupid again.

"You still dare to talk about me, but I want to ask what good things you did behind my back?" She bred up and asked.

Feiyan's eyes gurgled and her body moved outward a little, "No, this girl has always done things above board." She gritted her teeth secretly, pondering how to cut Yin Mo with a thousand knives.

Tilting couldn't help laughing, "It's so bright, if I ask you anything in the future, I'll take your surname." The padded jacket was in the second box on the left-hand side, and the shoes were placed on top of the cabinet, wrapped in a black cloth. ”

Feiyan went to rummage through the cabinets again, and quickly found the things, "I've always been the only one who begged you." What can I do without you? ”

Watching her stuff the things in her hand into her arms, she felt the meaning of her words, "You're not going?" ”

"Yes, the prince said that the car is simple, and only one or two people are allowed to be brought." Feiyan fell to the bed, and his voice was sorrowful, "I really want to go!" It's been a long time since I've been out of the house. ”

Two people? Tilting was a little puzzled, how could this opportunity fall on his head. But if she is one of them, who is the other?

"I see you be careful tomorrow, haven't you seen it, Ling'er's face is so gloomy that it can drip water."

"This candidate was decided by Madame?"

Feiyan snorted, "It's Mrs. who said that someone should take care of the yard, and she didn't worry about others, so she asked Ling'er to stay, and Ling'er didn't want to say anything." ”

There was no lack of emotion in her words, but both of them knew that it was just an excuse. If it weren't for that day, they would have believed it.

Feiyan looked up at the contemplative appearance, there was some indescribable love in her eyes, and after a while, she shouted and turned over, "Look at what is missing, bring everything you should bring, and bring some food, I remember that I still have a lot there." ”

Tilting looked at Feiyan Gyro, busy for her, and smiled, "You don't have to bring so many things, it's not that you won't come back." ”

"Who knows how long it's going to take." Feiyan squatted on the ground with his back to him and didn't know what to find, his body paused slightly, "Hey, I can't eat the pastries you make sometimes." ”

"What's so difficult about that, since it's the day after tomorrow, I'll do more for you tomorrow." Pouring neatly, thinking about making more plum blossom cakes, which can be brought to Mrs. to eat on the road, and Yun'er's favorite donkey rolling.

"Well, what you say, it's a word."

*****

The horses' hooves clattered, slowly and regularly, and the car moved smoothly, barely feeling any bumps or discomfort.

After leaving the city gate, the outside of the car gradually returned to calm. Tilting lifted the corner of the curtain, and the glare of light shone in from the outside, reflecting on her face. Half-squinted uncomfortably, and it took a while to see the outside clearly.

At some point, the convoy left the official road and turned to the mountain road, which opened wide and winded halfway up the mountain, and the snow had been cleared and piled aside. The dead trees on both sides are covered with snow, and instead of looking lonely, they are lined with dazzling lights. Occasionally, the branches fall abruptly and overwhelmed, the fine snow is blown away by the wind, and the light shines like a flowing golden veil. When climbing, the whole mountain was still shrouded in a halo, like a remnant of the kingdom of ice and snow.

A little coolness accompanied by fine snowflakes hit his face, and he unconsciously raised his chin slightly, and a light smile appeared on his face. From time to time, there were exclamations from the front and rear carriages, thinking that someone like her, quietly watching the scenery was stunned by this strange scene!

"The view is beautiful, isn't it?" A gentle voice sounded in the carriage, tilting her head, Jiang Yan was looking at her softly, with a light smile floating on her lips. She was wrapped in a thick white fox fur, becoming more and more delicate.

Yun'er was already asleep with her side tilted, and there was a slight snoring sound.

Tilted the curtain and lowered his voice, "I thought that Madame was resting and making you smile, the scenery here is indeed so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it." ”

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched slightly, "I haven't seen the snow scene in the mountains." ”

"Slaves and maids grew up in the south since childhood, and there are not many cold days, not to mention heavy snowfall, even sporadic snowflakes have never been encountered." Words like snow-covered and covered in silver have only been seen in books before, but now I understand what it is. ”

Jiang Yan looked at her quietly, "At home, there are no relatives?" ”

His eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Father and mother passed away a few years ago...... the latter words couldn't be said no matter what.

Jiang Yan didn't know what to think of, and then asked, "Why did you come to the capital?" It's not easy for a girl to come this far. ”

"The slave maid wanted to find someone, but later I realized that what I thought was still too simple, the capital is so big, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in the sea."

Jiang Yan nodded as if she was helpless, "You are helpless here, and it is really not easy to find someone." ”

Even the lady said this, and the heart became more and more dazed. At the beginning, she left Lingzhou with the courage of being young and ignorant, and if it weren't for the help of good people on the road, she didn't know if she would have arrived in the capital safely. However, in order to survive here, she had to put aside the matter of finding someone for the time being, but she was no longer free when she entered the palace, and now she doesn't know when she can achieve her wish.

"Where are you now?" Jiang Yan closed her eyes and asked.

Poured back to his senses, and waved away the sorrow in his heart, "It's already halfway up the mountain, and you should be able to arrive before dusk." ”

"The last time I came," her voice grew lower, and she could only hear it when she listened closely, "it was eight years ago. Don't say it's you, it's our children who grew up in the capital, and it's also rare to see Qi Yushan. I still remember that every time I left, I was reluctant, and I yelled that I wanted to stay forever. ”

It must be a very good memory, when there were two or three childhood sweethearts, they were happy to play here, and they still didn't want to leave. Now the identities of the two have changed, but they come and go as casually as they did back then. Today, it is no wonder that her love is not high.

Not only is she not tall, but seeing that she is shrunk in a fox fur, her face is snow-white, and her spirit is not good, she began to worry about whether she was unwell.

The carriage they were in was not small, and even if there were three of them, it didn't feel crowded. The carriage is well stocked, with carpets, stoves, incense burners, tea cups, and even books for recreation.

This qiē is all from Ling'er's hand.

Thinking of the scene when he saw Ling as a child this morning, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

I got up early and went to the lady's room, and I was ready to see Ling'er's face, but I didn't expect to see her in the room at all. It wasn't until I went to check if I had everything ready that I saw her by the carriage.

Ling'er was instructing the maids to carefully place the things they wanted to bring, and when she finished explaining, she walked to her side, but she staggered away as if she didn't see it.

Facing the eyes of those maids who quietly looked at them, they could only pretend not to see it.

I didn't want Ling'er to stop her from behind again, she didn't say a word and just stared at her tightly, her expression was indescribably complicated. After a long time, she turned her eyes away and said coldly: "Take good care of Madame, if Madame has any accidents, it is definitely your fault." ”

With that, she walked away quickly.

After pouring it, I found that the carriage was fully equipped with items and the heater had been turned on, which dispelled the cold of the winter morning.

poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Jiang Yan, "I see that your face is not very good, is it cold?" Why don't you stop the carriage and find someone to take a look? ”

"No need." She only held the cup in her hand, and had no intention of drinking, "I didn't eat much in the morning, maybe I was sick with motion sickness." Instead of delaying everyone's trip, it is better to hurry to the other hospital and take a good rest. She closed her eyes again, as if she was really tired, and her brow was slightly wrinkled.

By the time the carriage finally stopped, it was dusk. The orange sunlight slanted down from the sky, staining everything and bringing out an indescribable beauty. When the two of them helped Jiang Yan get out of the car, there were still more than a dozen carriages winding through the mountains behind them, plus the guards escorting them all the way, they couldn't see the end at a glance.

Among the carriages of the four masters, Jiang Yan ranked last, and Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Min had already gotten off the carriage and were surrounding the prince.

The three of them stepped forward, Jun Ruojin's eyes met them, and the laughter stopped for a while, and the two ladies also looked over.

After Jiang Yan greeted the three of them one by one, she stopped talking. Compared with the excitement of others, her indifference is particularly prominent, but fortunately, others seem to be used to her attitude, but they don't care. Jun Ruojin just nodded slightly, but Meng Xiwen glanced at her, usually with a lofty attitude, only Li Min smiled kindly and was quite cordial.

Among the three ladies, Meng Xiwen has the best family background, and her father holds an important position in the court, so she has the capital to be proud in front of everyone. Besides, she is good-looking, tall, and outgoing, even in front of Jun Ruojin, she has never concealed her cool temperament, let alone learn such a contrived shyness and rejection, he also likes her temper. Although Li Min was born as a slave, she has always been gentle and generous, she is a woman who has been by Jun Ruojin's biological mother Ying Guifei and has been by his side since she left the palace and built the mansion, and her meaning is naturally extraordinary. Compared like this, Jiang Yan is a little more ordinary.

Jun Ruo simply instructed a few people to have a good rest, and then followed the old housekeeper straight to his Zizhu Courtyard. Seeing him go away, Meng Xiwen didn't bother to greet others, and went straight to the grandmother who was waiting on the side and went to Xiyan Courtyard, the closest and largest courtyard to Zizhu Courtyard.

Jiang Yan turned to Li Min at this time and said, "Sister Min, let's go live in Yuqing Garden." ”

Before Li Min could react, Meng Xiwen turned around and looked at the two of them with a smile, and then walked away slowly.

Li Min sneered, "How good is that, let's go live with Yan'er, I'll just go to Yingchun Garden." ”

Yuqing Garden is on the left back side of Xiyan Temple, according to the distance and size of Zizhu Yuan, it is also appropriate, and although Yingchun Garden is larger than Yuqing Garden, it is also a little biased.

"Sister Min, don't fight with me." Although Jiang Yan had a smile on her face, her expression was faint, which made people naturally feel alienated.

It's rare to have the opportunity to be closer to the prince, no one wants to live too far, although Li Min was surprised by her choice, she no longer refused, looked at her thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, sister, have a good rest in the Spring Garden tonight, and find a time to sit with me tomorrow." ”

Jiang Yan smiled, but did not respond to these obvious kind words.

When there were only a few people left, she turned to the last grandmother and said politely: "Just ask Grandma to lead the way and take me to Tingfeng Pavilion." ”

Listen to the Wind Pavilion, not the Spring Garden.

Qian Wan noticed the surprised and incomprehensible look in Mama's eyes, although he didn't know what kind of place Tingfeng Pavilion was, he couldn't help but be curious and look forward to it, and he didn't notice the great change in Yun'er's expression.
