Chapter 55: The Coolness of an Autumn Night

Looking at Xu Youshan's deeply embarrassed appearance, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen couldn't help laughing. But as Xu Youshan's pretty face became more and more red, Xu Yourong and the others couldn't smile anymore. Especially Xu Mingwen, she knows too well the feeling of wanting to be able to get into the ground, and she still remembers it vividly, not to mention that the "culprit" is now sitting not far from her.

Therefore, Xu Mingwen, who deeply sympathized with Xu Youshan's feelings now, hurriedly comforted Xu Youshan in a whisper: "Sister Rong just teased you, in your position, how can Zhai Dagongzi and Brother Xuan see that you are obsessed with the little wealth of the Shuoyun County Lord." ”

Eh, yes, her position is just a little opposite to Xu Chen and them, so when she turned her head to look at the Lord of Shuoyun, even if she was really drooling over those outrageously valuable things, then they couldn't see it.

Xu Youshan suddenly discovered the key to the problem after Xu Ming's words, so she immediately looked at Xu Chen and them quietly, and found that the three of them were really only paying attention to the progress of this and the ceremony, and there were no other different colors, Xu Youshan looked at Xu Yourong with an angry face.

But Miss Xu had already looked at the Lord of Shuoyun with a straight face, and she was also in a very upright posture, looking at the fact that this was very important for every girl and the ceremony was carried out, as if she was so excited to tease Xu Youshan just now, it was definitely impossible for her to win people. Therefore, now that Mrs. Li has already held a hairpin ceremony for the lord of Shuoyun, Xu Youshan is really not good at what Xu Yourong can do, so she can only grit her teeth. Gritted his teeth again.

And just when Xu Youshan and the three of them were not presentable, the Shuoyun County Lord's ceremony was being held normally, and when everyone was paying attention to the Shuoyun County Lord. Emperor Zhou Hui, who was leisurely leaning on the first seat, but every time he held the cup, his eyes inadvertently looked in the direction of the Xu family, and there were always some inexplicable emotions in his eyes, like pleasure and mockery...... It seems to be desolate.

……

……

The autumn night is faintly cool, and in this season of red maple and blood. Of course, there are maple trees in Qinghe Junai. So when the Shuoyun County Lord's ceremony was finally completed, everyone began to move chopsticks under the leadership of Emperor Zhou Hui.

And after eating and drinking. The adults are all enjoying the dance in Qinghe, and as for Xu Youshan, most of the juniors can't stand sitting for a long time, so they all talk to the elders one by one. ran out of Qingheju. Swim up in the palace of the king of thunder.

However, most of these people who can't stand sedentary for a long time definitely don't include Xu Youshan.

Therefore, after almost all the teenagers and girls left Qingheju, Xu Youshan and the people at the banquet table did not move. As for the reason, of course, it is because there are too many lessons from the past, anyway, as long as there is a place where there is a second prince Xie Yan or a third prince Xie Wen, maybe the eldest princess of Deming must be counted, as long as there are places where these unattainable princes and princesses are there. As soon as Xu Youshan and the others left the elders of the Xu family, they would look like they would be calculated.

Therefore, now Xu Youshan and the others have long dared not be in the place where Xie Yan and they are also there. Leave the elders to act alone.

But Xu Youshan's calculations are good, but there are countless places where things don't go as expected.

"Sister Rong, you are here, but it really makes this princess easy to find."

Sister Rong? Xu Youshan and the three of them looked at Xu Yourong in front of them, and their smiles were so gentle that the goosebumps all over their bodies were about to fall, especially Xu Yourong, looking at the eldest princess of Deming, they were almost stiffened into a stone sculpture. As early as when Princess Deming's eldest princess stayed here abnormally after most of the young people in Qinghe Curie left, Xu Youshan and the others felt bad. But what they didn't expect was that after the eldest princess Deming suddenly got up and said something to Emperor Zhou Hui, she would actually come straight to them.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

But no matter what, it is now under the nose of Emperor Zhou Hui, so Xu Youshan and the three of them did not dare to show any vision, Xu Yourong also quickly reacted and got up with Xu Youshan and Xu Ming, and saluted to the eldest princess of Deming, of course, including Xu Chen.

"Don't be polite, the sisters of the Xu family and a few sons should get up quickly."

And the eldest princess of Deming was also virtuous and amiable at this time, so she directly took Xu Yourong's hand and continued: "Sister Rong, the two of us haven't seen each other for many days, and we miss it very much. Today, it is rare to take advantage of the banquet of the lord of Shuoyun to let us meet, which really makes this princess very happy, why don't we go outside to visit the garden now, and catch up with the old days. ”

After the words of the eldest princess Deming, Xu Youshan and the three of them couldn't care about their stomachs, but all the cold hairs stood up.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a good intention, originally Yourong shouldn't have refused, but Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, you don't know, Yourong's health has not been good recently, and it is not appropriate to move more, so it is better to sit in this Qinghe residence for a while." And Xu Yourong looked at the eldest princess of Deming, and suddenly smiled more gently than her.

Xu Yourong and the eldest princess of Deming were originally two individuals with noble identities, and their every move could be watched by others, not to mention that the two are still together now. Therefore, at this time, whether it was the expressions or movements of the two, everyone was paying close attention, including Emperor Zhou Hui, Xu Xi, Pei and other members of the Xu family, who were now pretending to be just watching singing and dancing.

But in addition to these people who know the truth, when they see the two of them now, one is more gentle than the other, and those who don't know are afraid that Xu Yourong and Princess Deming are friends who have been friends for many years.

But in fact, it is the opposite.

"Sister Rong, your health is not good? When did this happen, I was so careless, but what was wrong? ”

Xu Yourong and the eldest princess of Deming, they are enemies and enemies, and they don't know how long they have been hostile to each other and unable to see each other. And there is a good saying, the person who knows you best may be your enemy. Therefore, Xu Yourong and Princess Deming are also the people who know each other best in another aspect. Therefore, when the eldest princess of Deming was so wrong now, all of Xu Yourong's vigilance was mobilized.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Xie cares, and Yourong is not sick. It's just that it may have been cold two days ago, so I'm a little tired in the past few days, so I can't accompany Her Royal Highness the eldest princess out to visit the garden, I'm really sorry. ”

And in normal times, as long as it is such a formal occasion, although Xu Yourong and the eldest princess Deming will pretend to be friendly and harmonious, they have never been like now. The eldest princess of Deming directly made Xu Yourong feel cold. So Xu Yourong looked at her, and she didn't know how many dozen times she had turned in her mind.

"Oh, Sister Rong is serious. The body matters. But you can't accompany me to the garden, which is indeed a bit disappointing for this princess...... Hey, why don't you let Sister Ao and Sister Shan accompany me, you two won't be sick too. ”

But just when Xu Yourong was on guard against the eldest princess of Deming. But I didn't expect her to change her conversation. suddenly pointed to Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, which made the edge in Xu Yourong's eyes flash. But before Xu Yourong could fight back against the eldest princess of Deming, a voice pinned her to the spot.

"Deming, what's the matter, aren't you going out to visit the garden? How did you stay there for so long. ”

"Back to my father's words, Deming originally wanted to invite Sister Yourong to visit the garden together, but unfortunately Sister Yourong has been unwell for the past few days, so I want Sister Ming and Sister Youshan to accompany me. Please ask for your permission. ”

The eldest princess of Deming said to Emperor Zhou Hui's blessed body, and she lowered her head. It was just enough for others to lose sight of the smile that suddenly rose at the corner of her mouth, a smile full of blood.

"It's such a trivial matter as visiting the garden, why do you need to be kind, a few Aiqing of the Xu family, since Miss Xu is in poor health, then I don't dare to bother her, but let the other two of you accompany Deming to the garden, there won't be any embarrassment, right, it's still such a coincidence, the three of them are all unwell?" Emperor Zhou Hui said with a smile to Xu Mao and Xu Xi.

But Emperor Zhou Hui was smiling, but he named him, and Xu Xi, who got up to salute him at this time, all sank their eyes, "The saint said that he laughed, since Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was invited, how could the little girls be undeserved, Sister Wu'er, Sister Shan." ”

"Yes."

And no matter what thoughts Xu Xi and the others have in their hearts now, but since Emperor Zhou Hui has said this, whether it is the Pei family and the Yan family who suddenly lowered their heads, or Xu Yourong who retracted his hand into his sleeve, they are all very silent at this time, so silent that they are a little shocked by Liu Ru and the others behind them.

"The two of you will accompany Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to visit the garden outside, but remember to protect the phoenix body of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and remember to 'come back early', the night is as cold as water, but you must not let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess get cold." And if there is any problem at that time, you must 'come back quickly' and report it to the Holy Lord, and you must not let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess have any mistakes, and everything must not be delayed. Do you two get it? Xu Mao and Xu Xi looked at Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, and instructed word by word.

"Yes, we know." And Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen also replied in a deep voice.

"Oh, the two Aiqing are also too worried, but are they just going out to visit the garden, what is there to miss. Alright, go ahead. Zhou Huidi said.

"What my father said is, then we will go. Sister Sister-in-law, Sister Shan, let's go. The eldest princess of Deming looked at Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, and said with an extremely harmless smile.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please." And Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen were in their hearts at this time, and they didn't know how many bad things they had said about the eldest princess of Deming and Emperor Zhou Hui. But no matter how unwilling and worried the two of them were now, they could only follow behind the eldest princess Deming with a look of honor at this time, and walked towards the outside of Qinghe Ju.

But it was only when Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen took a step, and before they could take the second step, a voice interrupted their departure again, "Shengshang, Shuoyun and Emperor Deming haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you please allow Shuoyun to go together." ”

Lord Shuoyun?

Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen looked up strangely at Emperor Zhou Hui's side, the Shuoyun County Lord in a warm silk robe.

Originally, according to etiquette, the location of Emperor Zhou Hui's side, from near to far, should be the eldest prince Xie Jing, the second prince Xie Yan, the third prince Xie Wen and the eldest princess Deming, all lined up one by one. But now, not to mention the position of the eldest prince Xie Jing, he was actually arranged before the last eldest princess of Deming, and even the positions of the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen were not the closest to Emperor Zhou Hui. So who is the person in that position closest to Emperor Zhou Huidi?

- Lord Shuoyun.

"Okay, I'm ready. You go too. And just after the words of the county lord of Shuoyun were finished, not only Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen looked at the county lord of Shuoyun in confusion, but even the eldest princess of Deming squinted at the county lord of Shuoyun. But Emperor Zhou Hui did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked sideways at the quiet face, and after being silent for a while, he waved his hand and said.

"Thank you for your consent."

So just like that, a simple matter of visiting the garden, but one after another, after the sudden proposal of the county lord of Shuoyun, led to the eyes that were about to ignore Qi Xuan's stop. And Xu Mingxi, who was about to go with him, was stunned when he was stunned, but was stopped again by Qi Xuan, who was quick to see his eyes. And this trip to the garden was also after the sudden action of the lord of Shuoyun. In the end, it was given as a foursome.

"Mother."

And just as Xu Youshan and Shuoyun County Lord were surrounded and left Qinghe Residence, and the silk bamboo and singing and dancing in the house resumed, Xu Yourong immediately moved eagerly behind Pei's family, grabbed Pei's hand and shouted anxiously.

"It's fine. Go back and sit down. But now Pei's who is also smiling can't reach the bottom of his eyes. But after Xu Xi nodded invisibly to her just now, he comforted Xu Yourong, who was about to blame himself at this time, and said: "Someone is following Sister Wu and Sister Shan, you don't have to worry too much, go back and sit down." ”

“…… Be. ”

Since the eldest princess Deming suddenly arrived at Xu Youshan's table to invite Xu Yourong, in fact, the time of the incident was not long, but in this not long time, it made everyone feel up and down, among which Xu Yourong, who is now unable to leave Qingheju because of his "ill health". Needless to say, the most self-blame and suffering. And Xu Chen, who had moved to her side on one side, and Xu Xuan and Zhai Yu on the other side, were not calm in their hearts now.

Among them, especially Zhai Yu. The emotions in his eyes are extremely complicated.

And before Xu Mingwen left, it was the look that looked at Zhai Yu without even reacting to herself, which made Zhai Yu's dark eyes darken again.

But at this time, not only the Xu family's side was uneasy, but even the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, King of Pi and Princess Li, there were many people who were sitting still. Among them, the King of Pi and the Princess of Lili are okay, at least compared with Xu Mingcheng on the side of the Qi family of the Beiding Palace, the two of them can be regarded as calm.

"Cousin Xuan, why did you stop me just now?" Xu Mingwen shouted at Qi Xuan, and if this scene was seen by Xu Youshan and the three of them, it would be a miracle, and Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen were afraid to be moved to tears. After all, Xu Mingcheng is obedient to Qi Xuan, and Xu Youshan and the three of them know best. But on weekdays, Qi Xuan said that she would never go west if she went east, and today she would ignore Qi Xuan's intentions for them, talk to him, and yell at Qi Xuan, which will really make Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen cry.

"Mingxi, don't be in a hurry yet."

Qi Xuan, who had inherited all of Xu Mingming's anger, did not have a trace of anger, but after looking at Xu Mingxuan, whose eyes had become red, Qi Xuan's long fingers covered her eyes, and she took her into her arms and said: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Deming's actions now seem to have deliberately dug a trap for Sister Rong and the three of them to jump, and now if you follow in, it will only increase the number of people in danger in vain." ”

"But if that's the case, aren't Sister Wu and Sister Shan more dangerous?"

And even when he was angry, Xu Mingcheng, who was obediently taken into Qi Xuan's arms, said more worriedly after listening to Qi Xuan's words.

"Originally, if only Sister Wu and Sister Shan were taken away by Her Royal Highness Princess Deming, it would indeed be very dangerous. But just now, the county lord of Shuoyun spoke out, although it is still unclear what the county lord of Shuoyun means by doing this, but since the ancestor and grandfather decided to marry the county lord of Shuoyun for the sake of Duzhi, they have already sent many private guards to inquire about the news of this county lord. And it is also after collecting so much information that we can know from it that this Liwang Mansion and this Shuoyun County Lord's personality are still good, otherwise the old ancestor may also agree to marry Duzhi and Shuoyun County Lord. ”

Qi Xuan continued to reassure Xu Mingxuan and said: "Moreover, in the many explorations of this pair of Liwang Mansions, we have not found that they have anything to do with the big names in the palace, so it seems that the Lord of Shuoyun County should not be in a group with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Deming." On the contrary, now that the lord of Shuoyun is following, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess Deming will also be afraid of one or two. And just now, my grandfather and grandmother had already sent someone to follow my sister and sister Shan, and if there was anything wrong, they would come back to tell them. So, Ming, don't worry so much about it first, okay? ”

“…… Well. ”

In fact, Xu Mingcheng himself also knew that if he really followed, it would not be of much help, but even so, when he saw Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen leave with Deming's big bad wolf like two little white rabbits, Xu Mingcheng was about to cry.

And Deming even gave up Xu Yourong, her most eye-catching rival, and instead tightly grasped Xu Youshan and Xu Ming's behavior, which was abnormal, so Xu Mingcheng was in a hurry, and she was angry with Qi Xuan who stopped her, otherwise Xu Mingcheng would not have been able to roar at Qi Xuan.

But Qi Xuan already knew Xu Mingcheng too well, so looking at Xu Minghuan who was like wilting at this time, Qi Xuan not only didn't have a trace of anger at her, but held her hand tightly and tightened.

……

……

"Sister Shuoyun, do you like this kind of flower?"

Not far from the outside of Qinghe Residence, there is a large area of garden pavilions planted with exotic flowers and plants, so as soon as the eldest princess Deming and Xu Youshan came out of Qinghe Residence, they followed the path all the way, and did not deliberately choose any destination, but seemed to do everything as they wished.

However, it's just like it, because Xu Youshan, who fell behind the eldest princess of Deming and the lord of Shuoyun, has long ceased to believe in the "not intentional" of the eldest princess of Deming.

"Fortunately, phalaenopsis is still relatively difficult to grow and survive after all, so even if you don't particularly like it, it is very pleasing to see it bloom so gorgeously at this time."

But no matter how Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen despise the eldest princess Deming, they can't show it on their faces. Therefore, when the eldest princess Deming stopped in front of a phalaenopsis orchid that bloomed so much, and behaved extremely gentle and harmless, virtuous and generous to the lord of Shuoyun, these two people rolled their eyes at her countless times in their hearts.

"Yes, phalaenopsis is difficult to survive, but this phalaenopsis orchid in the palace can still bloom so well, Sister Shuoyun, the craftsmanship of the florists in your mansion is really amazing."

And just when Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen despised the eldest princess Deming infinitely, the words of the eldest princess Deming suddenly reminded Xu Youshan of the peony flower field that seemed to stretch to the ends of the earth after Shen Zhai, and it was strange that it could open even in winter.

"Yes, Lord Shuoyun, the phalaenopsis orchids here in your mansion are indeed blooming well, I have never seen them in other places, the skills of the gardeners in your mansion are really good."

Therefore, before the lord of Shuoyun County could speak in a hurry to pick up the words of the eldest princess Deming, Xu Youshan suddenly interjected. And this also made Xu Mingwen next to her quietly glance at her.

"Emperor Deming and Miss Xu Si have a good reputation, although this phalaenopsis is more delicate than other flowers, and it is more difficult to survive. But in the end, it is not a strange thing, as far as I know, there are several phalaenopsis orchids that are more gorgeous and irresistible than this flower in our house. If the two of you are really so interested, the little sister can take the two of them to have a look another day. ”

On the way from Qinghe Ju to here, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen were a little silent, except for the eldest princess Deming who talked to the two from time to time, Xu Youshan and the two almost never took the initiative to speak again. Therefore, at this time, Xu Youshan suddenly took the initiative to ask, not only Xu Mingwen was strange, but even the county lord of Shuoyun was surprised in his heart. After all, in Qinghe Ju, the three young ladies of the Xu family obviously refused the invitation of the eldest princess of Deming, so their silence along the way, the county lord of Shuoyun understood it. Therefore, at this time, Xu Youshan suddenly took the words of the eldest princess of Deming, and when she took the initiative to ask her, it was really eye-catching.

However, when Xu Mingwen and the county lord of Shuoyun both looked sideways at Xu Youshan, there was one person who unusually ignored her.

Princess Deming! (To be continued......)
