Chapter 40: A Twist of Red

Agarwood looked at Xie Jing, who had already walked to the stone steps, a little stunned, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

But Xu Youshan was not her, so Xu Youshan looked at Xie Jing for a while, and then bowed, "The courtiers see His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

"Please."

Xie Jing smiled: "Why did Miss Xu Si come here too, and she also came to find Kwai Ju?" ”

Nonsense, didn't you make me out...... Xu Youshan lowered her head and muttered a few words, and just when she wanted to answer Xie Jing, she saw a figure that was still standing, "Yes, the courtiers are not talented, and they didn't say the quatrain from the previous sister, so they had to be punished to find Kwai Ju, but how could I have thought that I would meet His Royal Highness the Great Prince by chance here, but I don't know which sentence I offended this agarwood girl just now, she was so angry, Your Highness, the courtiers are terrified." Xu Youshan said in surprise.

And after she finished speaking, not only the agarwood in a daze suddenly came back to her senses, but even Xie Jing's eyes that had been smiling warmly narrowed.

"Miss Xu Si laughed, Agarwood is a little maidservant, how can you say that she is angry with you, it is better to come in and find Kwai Ju."

What does this mean that you want to protect the agarwood?

Ha...... Xu Youshan suddenly felt funny.

What Agarwood thinks of her, Xu Youshan couldn't be clearer, because of Agarwood's eyes, she has seen enough in Wu Lin's eyes.

But why?

Xu Youshan's little face, which was already frightened, suddenly became more and more frightened, "Thank you for your kindness, but the courtiers want to look elsewhere." ”

After saying that, Xu Youshan was about to turn around and leave while holding Liu's mother's hand, and Xie Jing's eyes, which were already particularly sharp because of their narrow eyes, were suddenly full of cold light, "Miss Xu." ”

Xie Jing was still smiling, and her lips as bright red as flowers raised an arc that Xu Youshan was most familiar with, but this time, Xu Youshan just stood in place and looked at him with a frightened face, without the slightest intention of approaching.

"I wonder what else is going on with the eldest prince? The sisters of the courtiers are still waiting, and if they delay too long, the courtiers are afraid that they will alarm the elders. ”

Xu Youshan said weakly.

But looking at her as if she was so cowardly, Xie Jing's red lips were even more beautiful, but her tone suddenly became light, like a cloud that was about to dissipate in the sky, "Agarwood, don't apologize to Miss Xu Si soon." ”

"Miss Xu Si, the agarwood is wrong, please don't remember the villain, don't worry about people like the servant."

Seriously, Agarwood looks down on Xu Youshan, because the time she has been with Xie Jing is not short, and there are countless big names she has seen, and just like Xu Youshan, who was born because of her mother's shameless seduction of others, she was born after private teaching, how could she be cheap?

So in front of Xu Youshan, Agarwood kept her head held high, never feeling that she was inferior to her.

And the Beiding Palace, on the birthday of the old princess of Beiding, the time on the Huxin Pavilion was the second time that Agarwood saw Xu Youshan, but just like in her memory, Xu Youshan was still so dark and thin......... Well, even if it's a little white, it's still ugly, especially when following the other three girls of the Xu family, Xu Youshan is even more ugly.

Such an ugly girl, her life experience is not glamorous, and the agarwood is even more unsightly, but it is long in the lake pavilion

In front of the long aisle, this ugly and identityless girl actually shocked her with a word.

And this can only be regarded as humiliation for agarwood.

But no matter how much Agarwood looks down on Xu Youshan, or has incomparable anger towards Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan will always have the label of the second girl of Jiangzuo Xu's family on her head, which is something that Agarwood can't ignore no matter how much she wants to ignore it. Therefore, when facing Xu Youshan again, Agarwood seems to be unable to do anything more except be calmer, especially in the current situation, for her master, the eldest prince Xie Jing, the Xu family is also the only "huge bargaining chip" that is still slightly neutral.

But no matter how much Agarwood prepared herself in advance, when she faced Xu Youshan again, who she couldn't look at and couldn't move, Agarwood's anger was easily provoked by Xu Youshan again, and what was even more terrifying was that her master seemed to value Xu Youshan more.

Agarwood, don't apologize to Miss Xu Si soon.

A simple sentence easily injured a proud person like agarwood.

But who is Agarwood?

is a person who has accompanied Xie Jing in life and death several times, so for Xie Jing, although she doesn't dare to say that she absolutely knows, whether it is Xie Jing's eyes or a smile, agarwood can read something, not to mention the ** of ten, there are always one or two. Therefore, when Xie Jing asked her to bow to Xu Youshan, Agarwood quickly responded to his words and immediately apologized to Xu Youshan, and her attitude was sincere.

However, this is not because Xu Youshan is really amazing, but because Agarwood saw the deepened smile and the faint frightening tone on Xie Jing's face...... Xie Jing was angry.

And whenever Xie Jing is angry, there will always be two or three people who suffer.

And Agarwood looked at Xu Youshan, who finally followed Xie Jing into the pavilion at this time, and the corners of her lips suddenly roseβ€”I don't know what the consequences of this disaster will be.

……

……

What will be the consequences?

"Sit."

After Xu Youshan and Xie Jing entered the pavilion, Xu Youshan found that a pot of steaming tea had been placed on the lapis lazuli stone table in the pavilion, and two tea bowls with double-petaled lotus flowers and blue stripes had been poured next to them.

Looks like you're very well prepared.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince Xie, but there is no need, please ask Your Highness to show me something quickly, after all, my sisters are still worried that this hundred gardens are too big, and the courtiers will not know the way and get lost here."

But Xu Youshan didn't plan to stay here for a moment longer with this person she couldn't afford to offend, she really wanted to get as far away from him as possible.

But apparently, someone didn't want to follow her thoughts, "Come here." ”

"If you go back to the eldest prince, no, please tell me if there is anything."

"Come here."

"...... "Does this person understand human speech?"

But Xu Youshan's slander was not over, but she suddenly changed her words: "Okay." And after she hurriedly trotted over and sat down, in Xie Jing's slender beautiful eyes, those terrifying eyes just dissipated.

But just when Xu Youshan despised herself infinitely, a cup of tea was pushed over by a slender hand, and Xu Youshan blinked in fright, "Prince Xie." ”

"No, as long as you remember to tell me the whereabouts of Sister Ling."

His hand froze in the air, Xu Youshan's eyes were on fire, and she stood up, "The eldest prince ......"

"It's a joke."

"......" mother!!

Xu Youshan was speechless for a while when Xie Jing was angry, but Xie Jing didn't speak either, her slender fingertips just tapped the cup lightly for a while, making a nice crisp sound.

"Your Royal Highness, please tell me if you have anything."

But after a while, after all, it was Xu Youshan who spoke first, Xie Jing has a lot of time and can afford it, Xu Youshan is different from him. Since leaving Xu Yourong and them, although it has only been about a cup of tea, Xu Youshan is afraid that Xu Yourong and they will be worried, so she wants to go back quickly.

"It seems that Miss Xu is in a hurry." Xie Jing said with a smile.

"Back to the words of the eldest prince, yes."

Xu Youshan didn't go around with Xie Jing anymore, and said straight to the point, anyway, they are "very familiar" with each other, and there is really no need to be so fake and polite, and Xu Youshan really admires this young man's intelligence, and she feels that she will never see him again, that is the best.

"Ah~~ That's it."

When Xie Jing faced Xu Youshan, he would not put on those polite and gentle faces, and when he faced Xu Youshan, the most he did was annoying ridicule, as if he was mocking her all the time, so Xu Youshan really hated Xie Jing's existence.

At this time, when Xie Jing suddenly smiled sarcastically at Xu Youshan, she was already very bored, but who knew that what Xie Jing said next was what made her even more dumbfounded.

"When you go back later, if the sisters make a mistake and are also punished to find Kwai Ju, I hope you follow them closely and don't leave them alone."

"Why?"

"At the beginning, this punishment is purposeful, you just have to do what I say, otherwise, you will never dare to think about what the consequences will be."

Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan and said slowly.

And Xu Youshan lowered her head slightly without moving, just like she usually does. But now in her heart, it is like a monstrous wave. Because Xie Jing miscalculated, not only did she know what the consequences would be, but in fact, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng had already seen "Kwai Ju" clearly, at the very beginning.

After all, among the four of them, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng are both smart women, and even Xu Mingwen is not stupid, but only her

"The courtiers hereby thank His Royal Highness the Grand Prince for his advice, the courtiers must abide by your words, and will not let the sisters have a chance to be alone. But if the situation is really so serious, it will be terrible, and the courtiers will retire first, asking His Highness for forgiveness. ”

Xu Youshan got up, saluted Xie Jing, and prepared to leave.

But Xie Jing kept her with a word.

"Miss Xu, have you forgotten something?"

Xu Youshan froze for a while when she heard this, and then said with an ugly smile: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the Great Prince said this, the courtiers haven't forgotten anything." ”

"Oh, really?" Xie Jing's good-looking hand supported his slightly pointed chin, and said softly: "It seems that Miss Xu Si is really a noble person, so let me remind you, why do you say that I am Jiang Chunjin's ......?"

"Ah, it's really not early, Your Royal Highness, the situation is really urgent, and the courtiers are rude and retire."

Like the wind, Xu Youshan lifted her skirt violently and rushed out of the pavilion quickly. Under Agarwood's stunned eyes, holding Liu's mother's outstretched hand, the two left quickly, and their figures disappeared in front of Xie Jing and Agarwood in an instant.

But in fact, that day in the non-drunk building, when Xie Jing asked her like this, Xu Youshan didn't intend to hide anything, but for some reason, at the moment when she was about to speak, she still decided not to push Wu Chou out, anyway, now, she was already targeted by Xie Jing, so why bother to pull Wu Chou into the water again? Anyway, it was an accident to find out that Xie Jing was the person who hid the deepest behind Jiang Chun's entry.

"Your Highness."

And when Agarwood was still in shock, Wen Ge came out of nowhere and half-knelt in front of Xie Jing.

"Oh, Wenge, things are all taken care of." Xie Jing looked at the direction where someone left like a frightened deer, stumbling away, and squinted slightly.

"If you go back to Your Highness, it's all dealt with." Wen Ge replied.

The people who were originally ambushed in this pavilion belonged to the second prince Xie Yan, but just now, they were all disposed of by a group of people led by Wen Ge.

"That's good."

"Your Highness Qiqi, don't we have to worry about the ambush points of the second prince and the third prince elsewhere?"

This is just an ambush spot that the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen have planted in the hundred gardens today, and in this vast garden that you can't see at a glance, there are still countless other "big feasts" carefully set up by the two princes.

"Tube?" He really wants to manage it, but is he still capable of it?

In this palace, after all, he was still controlled by the four concubines and the queen mother who held the power of the harem, he was just the widow of the queen of the Yuan, not only was the foreign family far away from the 108,000 miles away from the divine capital, but he himself was not valued by Emperor Zhou Hui, in this palace, he was able to live until now, it was really a miracle.

"Don't worry about it, there will be blessings or disasters in the back, so let's settle our destiny."

"Yes."

……

……

Now next to the flower bush where the eldest princess Deming, the second prince Xie Yan, and the third prince Xie Wen were resting, most of the people were still laughing and making trouble heartlessly, and because they didn't know that there was a well-woven net that was slowly falling, so they were laughing so carefree and heartless, and the three girls of the Xu family who were still sitting at the end were in huge contrast.

"Why hasn't Sister Shan come back yet?" Xu Mingwen said a little anxiously.

It has been almost a quarter since Xu Youshan left, although the time it took others to find a sunflower chrysanthemum was about the same, but Xu Yourong and the three of them were very worried.

"I don't know, anyway, hopefully it's not what we think." Xu Mingcheng frowned and looked at the way he came.

And just when Xu Yourong and the others were very worried, a figure wearing a dark white brocade densely woven gold thread placket robe, cinnabar-colored peony, gold and jade rich and comprehensive skirt finally appeared on the way - Xu Youshan.

"You're finally back."

Xu Youshan took the Kwai Ju that Mother Liu had folded in advance when she and Xie Jing were in the pavilion, and handed it over to the maid of the eldest princess Deming, Xu Youshan returned to Xu Yourong and their side, and as soon as she sat down, Xu Yourong's obviously worried voice came.

"I'm sorry, eldest sister, but this sunflower chrysanthemum is just like you expected, there is no one in front of it, you have to go all the way into the hundred gardens to see it, and just now I saw a few suspicious figures in front of a huge twist of red." Xu Youshan whispered to Xu Yourong and them.

But in the words, Xu Youshan would never mention her meeting with Xie Jing, and it was best not to talk about the pavilion, so Xu Youshan only moved out the red plant not far from the pavilion, hoping to be more vigilant Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi.

"Sure enough."

And after Xu Youshan finished speaking, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi's eyes crossed the cold.

Such unscrupulous means are really not insulting to the royal Xie family!!

"But it's not a way to go on like this, so let's send someone back to inform my grandfather and grandmother." Xu Youshan said.

"I've just sent the waiter, but there is only one avenue to walk back to the banquet, whether you can pass it or not, that's two words." Xu Yourong replied.

But after Xu Yourong finished speaking, Xu Youshan was surprised, originally they only brought a mother-in-law and maid to the palace for a banquet today, and when they just followed Princess Deming to the garden, the four of them could only bring one person with them, so except for Xu Youshan, who brought Liu's mother, almost everyone else brought their own personal maids.

Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen were also like this, bringing out Wan'er, the waiter and the ink painting.

But Xu Yourong's eldest maid is Wan'er, and Wan'er, who has a clear heart and quick hands and feet, has always been Xu Yourong's right-hand man, so according to today's situation, this kind of important task, Xu Yourong should have sent Wan'er to do it, how could he let Xu Mingming's eldest maid serve the book instead?

"Eldest sister, why did you send a waiter?" And Xu Youshan also asked directly.

"Oh, that's right, originally I also wanted Wan'er to go, but the waiter suddenly said that she had been standing by the last Mingcheng since just now, and if she left, it would be the least easy to be discovered, and we totaled for a while, and we also felt that the waiter was right, so we let her go." Xu Yourong said.

"Well, it seems that the waiter is quite smart." Xu Youshan looked at Xu Ming and smiled.

"That's it." Xu Mingcheng said with a smile.

Among the four of them, except for Xu Youshan's special situation, Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen and their respective eldest girls have all grown up together since childhood, and they have deep feelings. And unlike other people, Wan'er, Shishu and ink paintings were all carefully trained by Pei's and Lian's, and even Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Zheng before they were placed next to Xu Yourong.

And Xu Yourong and the three of them, as the daughters of the Xu family in Jiangzuo, will definitely marry someone else in the future and become the clan woman in charge of everyone, so the big girl and such a right-hand man around them are even more important. So the three of Wan'er are actually amazing.

But just when Xu Youshan and the four of them talked and laughed a little more comfortably, another punished person appeared.

"Sixth Master Nie, you made a mistake." Princess Deming said.

But after the eldest princess Deming finished speaking, Xu Yourong, who was already a little surprised and looked at Nie Suhyun, was suddenly shocked.

"What's wrong, Sister Rong?" Xu Mingwen, who was sitting next to Xu Yourong, first noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Didn't you hear?" But Xu Yourong asked rhetorically.

"Hear what?" Xu Mingcheng said strangely.

Deming's voice shook just now.

"So what?" Xu Youshan didn't quite understand and asked, so her voice trembled, is there anything.

"Think about it, if today's game is really designed by someone with a heart, then Deming will definitely not be able to escape the involvement, but judging from her performance at the beginning, she is too calm and abnormal, but the person who has always been so calm has been abnormal when Nie Liu didn't match just now, what does this mean?"

What does this mean?

It shows that the prey of the eldest princess of Deming is beginning to take the bait.

Xu Yourong stared at the eldest princess Deming quietly, but the eldest princess Deming didn't look at her...... No, it should be said that except for Nie Suhyun right now, Eldest Princess Deming is not looking at anyone.

"Yes, Nie Liu answered incorrectly, and he is willing to be punished." Nie Suhyun said expressionlessly.

This quatrain has been going on for several rounds now, and most of the quatrains have been answered, and the rest of the people will only have a situation that does not match one by one, and it is impossible to be spared. At this time, in addition to Nie Suhyun, who had not been matched just now, the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen, Rong Yun, the daughter of Rong Meichen of Honglu Temple, and Xu Yourong, Xu Mingcheng and Xu Mingwen, and even the eldest prince Xie Jing and the eldest princess Deming had already brought back Kwai Ju.

But of course, Xie Jing's mismatch just now, whether it was intentional or unintentional, is unknown.

"Then Sixth Prince Nie will also go find a sunflower chrysanthemum and come back." The eldest princess of Deming smiled softly.

But Nie Suhyun just got up when he heard the words, and left after a salute, and there was still no expression on the face of the iceberg that had not changed for 10,000 years.

However, not long after Nie Suhyun left, on the new round of Wendou, the eldest princess Deming was actually right or wrong again under Xu Yourong's staring gaze, and then got up apologetically, and after two polite words, she also walked towards the depths of the hundred gardens.

"Oops."

Looking at the figure of the eldest princess Deming who was about to disappear, Xu Yourong said urgently, and the eldest princess of Deming was so obviously wrong that even Xu Youshan could see it. But Xu Youshan looked as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and she didn't know what to say.

But the more anxious and easy it is to have an accident, when it was finally Xu Youshan's turn to be here, Xu Yourong was actually stuck, and Xu Mingwen behind Xu Yourong was also frozen.

This quatrain is a little difficult, and Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen can think of a match, and they have already used it, and when Xu Youshan turned to look at Xu Mingcheng anxiously, they found that she also frowned, Xu Youshan knew that it was over.

"Why, Miss Xu finally can't come out?"

The eldest princess of Deming had already followed Nie Suhyun to find Kwai Ju, so it was the second prince Xie Yan who spoke at this time.

"Yes, the courtiers can't come up, so they are willing to be punished, and they will also go to find a sunflower chrysanthemum." But after Xu Yourong paused, he immediately got up and replied.

"Okay, please."

And the second prince Xie Yan smiled on his handsome face after listening to Xu Yourong's words, and said softly.

"Yes......"

"Wait a minute."

But before Xu Yourong's words were finished, he was interrupted by three "wait a minute". Don't think about it, they all know that it must be the other three girls of the Xu family, but after they finished speaking, Xu Yourong, Xu Mingwen and Xu Youshan all looked at the last Xu Mingcheng with wide eyes.
