Chapter 135: Sparkling
Two days later, the wind is clear and the winter sun is shining, it is a good day to go out and bask in the sun. Such a beautiful scenery, how can it be disappointed, so the Nine Emperors invited a few friends to go boating on Xuanwu Lake, Xuanwu Lake has always been exclusive to the royal family, used to practice sailors during the military chaos, and now the Three Kingdoms are safe, it is a good place for the children of the royal nobles to enjoy and have fun.
There are three islands connected in Xuanwu Lake, the pavilions and pavilions in the middle are wrong in the meantime, the Zhongshan Mountain in the east is reflected in the lake, the scenery is particularly beautiful, people are boating in summer, this Nine Emperor Princes actually called people to visit the lake in winter, and he was really convinced.
If you think so, you really misunderstand His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and the purpose of inviting everyone to come today is not to visit the lake.
This trip to Xuanwu Lake not only invited Mu Xiaohe, the son of Su Pei's family, and the son of the uncle Yin Qingsun, but also the seventh prince Xiao Moheng and the eighth prince Xiao Moxuan were also listed.
Therefore, the ship is quite lively at this time......
Jiang Mei has a habit, that is, no matter what three hundred and sixty-five days, she likes to take a fan, this fan is a folding fan made of paper, she has nothing to do on weekdays, she plays with it, and in fact, in case something happens, that fan is Jiang Mei's self-defense weapon. When others looked at Jiang Mei and took a fan in the winter, she just smiled.
"The Nine Emperor Princes are so pompous..."Jiang Mei held a plain fan in her hand, looked at the attendants and chamberlains, and said with a smile.
"He can't bear it the most, and now the Jingzhou Rebellion has been settled. Of course he has to relax! Mu Xiaohe answered.
"Xuanwu Lake is really beautiful." Hua Ying said with a smile.
"The scenery of Yunnan Lake in Ningzhou is not bad, although it is not as rich as Xuanwu Lake, but it also has a natural beauty." Mu Xiaohe thought of his hometown in southern Yunnan, and his heart was astringent, he had sent someone to Pei's family to give a dowry, and his father was old and frail, and his mother also needed to wait on his side, so he must not be able to come to his wedding.
And today, Pei Lanying did not go out because of Pei Yan's death.
"Really?" Hua Ying turned her head to look at him and asked with a smile. Mu Xiaohe nodded lightly meaningfully.
He used to work for his little Yueyao. A building was built next to Dianhu Lake, and Yue Yao knew about this, thinking that at that time, she was still looking forward to living in that building with her. Enjoy the scenery of Dianhu Lake all day long.
"Hua Ying... I'm next to Dian Lake. A building was built....named Lianyue Pavilion...."Mu Xiaohe looked at her steadily. It seemed to catch any hint of strangeness in her expression.
Mu Xiaohe didn't know that when he said the name, a figure behind him trembled. The cold wind blew the tears in the corners of her eyes.
Lianyue Pavilion? … Mu Xiaohe's intention to get a name for this building is not obvious? Hua Ying's face froze instantly, suddenly a little pale, and her eyes dimmed.
He was very affectionate, and he shirked it like this, but it hurt his heart, and now the Yun family's revenge has been avenged, as Jiang Mei said, should he really think about lifelong events, Hua Ying thought about it, and pulled her clothes tighter.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaohe was overjoyed, it seems that she knows, she knows! Mu Xiao and his breathing were a little solemn, looking at Hua Ying, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The people on the ship all noticed this scene, but their thoughts were different.
Xiao Moheng glanced at it, and then talked to the Eighth Prince, Xiao Mocheng looked at Xiao He with a smile, and turned around to beckon everyone to drink and listen to music, Su Junyi, who has always been out of the world, didn't seem to see it, just leisurely looked at the distant mountains, and then glanced at Xiao Moheng from time to time.
Yin Qingsun, who has always been active, rarely plays chess with Pei Hui seriously at this moment, while Su Qi is sitting and watching chess on the side, he is a very serious and serious child, staring at the chess game without blinking a pair of black eyes.
Su Tan was lost, he had already heard that Mu Xiaohe had gone to Pei's mansion to give a dowry, and soon Lan Ying would marry Mu Xiaohe. Since he worshiped Pei Mansion to the present, he has fallen in love with that bright woman, these days, Lan Ying has been like a star on a moonlit night, has been shining in his heart, since Lan Ying entered Beijing, the two have also played together many times, but no matter how stupid he is, he can see that what she likes in her heart is Mu Xiaohe.
If Mu Xiaohe likes Lan Ying, it doesn't matter, but today, he seems to be interested in Hua Ying, Lan Ying hasn't married yet, he flirts with other women, so if he marries, he can't tell what. But...this is the choice of Lan Ying and the Pei family, what can he do, thinking about it, Su Tan can only sigh to himself.
However, like him, it was Jiang Mei who was a little lost in his heart, but Jiang Mei still had a shallow smile on her face,
"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Eight, can you still cough from time to time?" Jiang Mei turned her head to Xiao Moxuan and asked with concern.
"Thank you Miss Jiang for your concern, according to the girl's previous advice, she is much better now." Xiao Moxuan nodded in thanks.
"I believe that Your Highness will be healed soon." Since Jiang Mei visited the Bai Palace, she arranged for Lingshu to come to see the Eighth Prince every now and then, and she had confidence in her own people.
"Mo Xuan's body is indeed much better now, and the girl's kindness to Mo Xuan cannot be repaid!" The Eighth Prince made a gesture towards Jiang Mei.
Where can Jiang Mei stand it, she immediately returned the courtesy.
At this time, Xiao Moheng interjected and said, "It's good for you to care about others all the time, and you have to be careful of your own body!" Thinking of the injuries she suffered in Jingzhou, Xiao Moheng was naturally worried.
Jiang Mei saw that he was looking at him with burning eyes, his face was slightly red, and when she remembered what happened in his mansion that day, she became embarrassed again, but she just smiled and looked away.
Xiao Moheng saw that she ignored herself, so she had to talk and laugh with the eighth prince picking up some interesting things in the court, and she was happy for a while.
The boat gradually approached the shore, and from a distance, it seemed that there was a group of attendants waiting on the shore.
Jiang Mei looked back at Xiao Mocheng and said with a smile: "Could it be that His Royal Highness the Ninth still has arrangements?" ”
"That's nature, it's hard to gather so many people, how can you not go home without a lot of fun? Today is a beautiful day, the weather is fine, how about we hunt on horseback? Xiao Mocheng smiled. The voice was loud to the crowd.
"Good!" Yin Qingsun immediately turned his head and raised his hands in agreement, and the unhappiness of being eaten by Pei Hui just now was swept away.
"Haha, today is the light of the ninth brother, and the brothers are also happy!" Xiao Moxuan also smiled rarely.
"There are no other benefits to following him, but there is eating, drinking, and having fun!" Su Junyi joked while laughing.
Everyone was talking, the boat had already docked, Xiao Mocheng led everyone to the shore, he pointed to a jungle in front of him and said: "Everyone, please look, in front of you is Youlin Garden on the west side of Zhongshan Mountain, and we will set off from here." Who can reach that forest first? The one who hunts the most and wins the first place, His Royal Highness has a big gift! Xiao Mocheng smiled mysteriously.
"Your Highness has any great gifts, can you tell me in advance? Save us from working hard. I found out that I was deceived by you! Su Tan heard that he was going to hunt on horseback. The interest increased greatly, so he returned to his old appearance of frolicking with Xiao Mocheng without going up and down.
The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and Xiao Mocheng saw this. With a straight face, he said, "Is His Highness such a stingy person?" Ignoring him, he said to everyone: "A few days ago, Mr. Ling Xiaohe, who lived in seclusion in Dongshan Mountain, painted a picture of "Donglin Yuanxiu", but I took a lot of effort to get it. ”
"Is that true?"
"Really?"
Everyone heard the words were moved, Ling Xiaohe is a person who will be an auditor, originally in the capital of the country as an official, after somehow, abandon the official seclusion, hide in Dongshan is more than ten years, however, although Ling Xiaohe is secluded, but the reputation is more and more famous, his poetry, calligraphy, piano and painting are all fine, and especially good at painting, some bohemian in the early years, the style of painting is a little arrogant, after seclusion, it seems that the mood has fallen silent, the style of painting is more delicate and soft, there is a hidden temperament.
Everyone was looking forward to this painting, but Xiao Moheng looked in a trance, but after a while, it returned to normal.
Xiao Mocheng was quite satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he leaned on the horse and said to everyone: "Then please get on the horse!" ”
As soon as he said that, Yin Qingsun, Pei Hui, Su Tan and Su Qi hurriedly picked a horse and prepared to get on the horse.
At this time, Xiao Mocheng looked at Mu Xiaohe and Xiao Moheng and smiled, as if he was inviting the two to race.
Mu Xiaohe and Xiao Moheng smiled helplessly, so they had to choose a horse to compete. As for Su Junyi, Xiao Mocheng doesn't have to worry, once Xiao Moheng participates, he will not refuse, and secondly, there is also the painting that is tempting, Su Junyi's "Ya" is famous in the capital, although he is not as obsessed with calligraphy and painting as the prince, but he is also extremely fond of it. Sure enough, Su Junyi also shook off his flowing wide sleeves and went to pick a horse.
After Mu Xiaohe got on the horse, he stretched out his hand towards Hua Ying and said, "Hua Ying, come, get on my horse!" ”
Hua Ying raised her big watery eyes, looked at him for a while, plucked up her courage, and said with a smile: "Xiao and brother, you must win!" ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Mu Xiaohe.
Hua Ying's "Xiao and brother" made Mu Xiao and the whole person stunned in an instant, he looked at Hua Ying stupidly, and the picture in the depths of his memory came to his mind.
"Yue'er, come, I'll teach you how to ride a horse!" Mu Xiaohe took Yun Yueyao's little hand, ready to carry her on horseback,
Who knows, Yun Yueyao immediately retracted her hand, and said with some crying: "Don't, Yue'er is afraid..."
Mu Xiaohe was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "You are not afraid of heaven and earth, why are you afraid of riding a horse?" He absolutely did not believe that she would be afraid to ride a horse.
But this time it's true, because Yun Yueyao's little face was already covered with tears, she shook her head again and again, "I'm afraid of falling...."
Mu Xiaohe comforted her while demonstrating to her, he put his left foot into the stirrup, pulled the stiff rope with his right hand, and with a stirrup, he turned over and got on the horse, and then stretched out his hand to Yun Yueyao under the horse, "Come, you give me your hand, I'll take you on the horse!" ”
Yun Yueyao saw that he got on the horse so easily, and her courage grew, so she stretched out her hand. Mu Xiaohe held her hand, let her hold the reins with one hand, and pulled harder, and took her on the horse.
Now Hua Ying's face gradually enlarged in Mu Xiaohe's pupils, he smiled heartily, and saw that Hua Ying's foot had been put into the stirrup, so he smiled at her, and with his right hand, he took Hua Ying on the horse. The whole movement was smooth and natural, which made Hua Ying's heart beat for a while.
And one person was stung in the heart by this sentence "Xiao and brother", once upon a time, she was the only one who called him so intimately.
Although Jiang Mei's face was flat, her heart was really miserable, she kept rubbing the mud and sand underneath with her feet, and lowered her head with her hands to hide the pain in her eyes.
After a while, everyone was already on the horse, and there were only two people left, one was Xiao Moxuan, the eighth prince, and the other was Jiang Mei.
Xiao Moxuan shrugged helplessly and smiled freely: "It's not okay to compete with you, but it's still okay to ride a horse." So he motioned for his attendants to bring him a horse, and he turned over and got on the horse.
In the end, everyone's eyes were on the lonely Jiang Mei.
Xiao Mocheng looked at her with some surprise: "Xiao Mei'er, what's wrong with you?" I remember you said that you like Mr. Ling's paintings very much! ”
He chuckled as he spoke, he said so, but looking at her thin body, he didn't expect her in his heart.
Jiang Mei shook her head helplessly, "I don't know how to ride a horse!" ”
"What?" Xiao Mocheng was stunned, "You... You've been running on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and you can't ride a horse? ”
The people on horseback were also a little surprised, although it was normal for a woman not to ride a horse, but Hua Ying, a woman who lives on the platform, could ride a horse, and the goddess doctor who traveled all day long could not ride a horse, which had to surprise everyone.
Even Xiao Moheng was a little puzzled, he thought that a woman like Jiang Mei who came from the rivers and lakes and practiced chivalry and righteousness should be good at riding, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't.
"Isn't there anyone in Plum Valley to teach you?" Xiao Mocheng asked softly,
Jiang Mei shook her head with a wry smile, "Someone has taught it, but I haven't learned it." After that, his eyes lowered again, and he really didn't even have the courage to look at him at this moment.
She was bold and intelligent since she was a child, and she was able to learn everything as soon as she was young, but there were two things she never learned, one was to play chess, and the other was to ride a horse.
It was not Yun Lingbo who taught her to ride a horse, not Yun Jingzhou, but Mu Xiaohe, at that time, even though Mu Xiaohe repeatedly taught patiently, Yun Yueyao never dared to hold the reins, but just hugged him tightly, as if holding him could feel safe and comfortable.
Although she has never dared to ride a horse, she enjoys the happiness and chic of Mu Xiao and galloping with her. And Mu Xiaohe had to hug her tightly to his chest, both helpless and loving. Just like that, the two of them galloped on the wide grass several times, "Xiao and brother, in the future, Xiao and brother will also take Yue'er like this, okay?" ”
"Silly girl, I won't let you learn to ride a horse again, I'll take you like this forever..."
It's a pity that now he is in his arms and let him carry someone else....... (to be continued......
