Chapter 139: The back of the rockery
"The two younger sisters are stingy, she doesn't sell tea, where can we go to get good tea?" The county lord of Changping came out from behind the two of them, stabbed the third princess with an elbow with a smile, the third princess inhaled in pain, and said angrily: "Talk well, what do you do!" ”
The county lord of Changping blinked, pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "I just saw you and the second son of the household servant, behind the late jade yellow incense, isn't it the same You touch me, I touch yours, why don't you annoy him?" ”
"You!" The third princess's face turned the color of pig liver, fortunately, she and the fourth princess were jealous of Xia Qingyun's limelight, and found a corner where no one was there to vent, otherwise the words of the county lord of Changping would be heard by others, and her reputation would be ruined.
"Crazy talk!" The third princess shook her big eyes and pulled the fourth princess to escape in the merlin.
The county lord of Changping was stunned, stretched out his finger and flicked the snow-covered flower branches on his head, giggled to catch the falling snowflakes, and had a lot of fun.
The tea was also tasted, the plum was also appreciated, the wind gradually rose, everyone was cold, so they moved to the conservatory in the front yard, there were a lot of daffodils and orchids planted in the conservatory, and the rich aroma went straight to the brain, which made Xia Qingyun a little dizzy, and took Xue'er outside to take a breath.
Walking to the pavilion where the wine had just been eaten in the back garden, the servants had already removed the wine table and cleaned the inside and out, Xia Qingyun sat down against the pillar, enjoying the snow scene, thinking that seeing the county lord of Changping today was not as crazy as rumored, and there was still a bit of elegance. She is taller and plumper than women of the same age, but her personality is delicate and cute, just like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a noise in the front yard. I only heard a few maids shouting: "The snowball has disappeared again, hurry up and find it, don't let the county lord worry." ”
Snowball is the long-haired white cat that the county lord of Changping has embraced, and he is very pampered on weekdays, and even when he goes to bed at night, the cat also lies on the county lord's couch and falls asleep together.
Xia Qingyun felt something moving at his feet, and as soon as he lowered his head, a cloud of snow white came out from under the cloak, and his tail was raised high. Hunched his back and bared his teeth at Xue'er behind him.
Cher glared. Frightened, the white cat took a few steps back, turned around and jumped down the steps, and ran down the verandah towards the Moon Gate.
Xia Qingyun looked back and saw that no one was chasing him. Then he instructed Xue'er. "It's probably scared away because it senses your beast aura. You stay here, I'll go and get it back, and everyone in the province will be busy. ”
In the plum garden. The snow is covered with footprints from the plum blossoms, and it is impossible to tell where the snowballs are going. Instinctively, she chased after Merlin into the depths.
Turning east and west, they got lost, and there was a plum blossom in full bloom on the left and right. Suddenly, a woman's soft exclamation was heard from somewhere, followed by several uncomfortable whimpering.
Xia Qingyun plucked the flower branches, and there was a rockery next to the pavilion not far away, and a pink-purple skirt corner was revealing behind the rockery.
She thought of the pink-purple brocade jacket under the fox fur of the county lord of Changping, could it be that the county lord was wronged and ran here alone to cry?
Hurriedly stepped forward, walking on the soft snow, the footsteps were almost inaudible, in front of the rockery, she was just about to ask, only to hear a man's voice from behind.
"The Tip of My Heart"
"Uh-huh"
followed by the sound of clothes and the sound of two mouths touching each other, Xia Qingyun's face turned red, and a fool could imagine that behind the rockery was a couple of men and women cheating.
Peeping into other people's private affairs is not a glorious thing, Xia Qingyun is so ashamed that he can't wait to find a hole in the ground to bury himself. Just as he was about to turn away, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, coming this way.
"Snowball, snowball." The maid's voice was getting closer and closer, and in a hurry, she had to hide under the steps of the pavilion with her waist bent.
The two people behind the rockery were also silent, and across a boulder, Xia Qingyun could clearly hear the wheezing sound of the two.
"Huancui, come back, I've found the snowball in the kitchen!" Someone shouted, and Huancui scolded in a low voice: "Long-haired little beast, my shoes and socks are wet!" ”
The footsteps gradually faded away, and there was a blushing and heart-beating movement behind the rockery, and the woman smiled coquettishly: "I'm going back, don't be greedy for a while, lest I be interrogated by those two cheap hooves later." ”
Xia Qingyun covered his mouth, his heart was pounding, it was the county lord of Changping who spoke! But who could that man be?
Only when the footsteps of a man and a woman were far away did she cautiously poke her head out, through the layers of petals, she only saw the back of a man, and her heart immediately 'groaned', from the man's thin stature and dress, it can be concluded that he is the eldest princess's concubine!
Xia Qingyun was stunned for a moment, what was going on? Doesn't he have a hidden disease? Shicai also saw him accompanying the eldest princess and the county lord of Anping in the greenhouse, why did he run to the plum garden again all of a sudden?
Bowing her head and thinking as she walked back, a pair of thick-soled soap-colored cloud-stepping boots came into view, she was slightly taken aback, raised her head, and faced a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"The county lord is good Yaxing, don't you feel bored enjoying the plum blossoms in the garden alone?"
Xia Qingyun glanced back in a panic, he had walked out of a short way, and he couldn't see the rockery and pavilion through the plum tree, so he was a little relieved, and said with a forced smile: "The plum blossoms here are rare to see in the imperial garden, and it is rare to come back and forth, so it's a pity not to watch it well." ”
The seventh prince smiled at the corner of his eyes, his expression was humble, and he did not have the arrogance of the prince at all, "If the county lord likes plum blossoms, my mother also has a plum garden there, called 'Zhaoyun', although it is not as big as here, but there are also a few surprising varieties." The queen mother also likes to drink tea, especially white peonies, if you don't dislike it, can you choose a day to come and have a look? ”
"Approaching the end of the year, there are a lot of miscellaneous things, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare time." Xia Qingyun resigned.
The Seventh Prince was not reluctant, and accompanied her all the way through the Moon Gate, until he walked to the door of the conservatory, before he was about to say goodbye, and with a little cowardice, he said: "The county lord's golden needle black tea is still left, I want to bring it back to the mother concubine, if not, forget it, I just ask"
Xia Qingyun thanked him for his filial piety, and instructed Xue'er to find a tube and give it to the Seventh Prince, Xue'er shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly: "It was all robbed just now." ”
"If the Seventh Prince is not in a hurry, I will send someone to the mansion another day." Xia Qingyun was a little sorry, and the Seventh Prince narrowed his eyes and smiled, as happy as a child who had won jelly beans.
"What are you talking about?" The county lord of Changping came out of nowhere, she stared at the seventh prince suspiciously, "It's rare to see the seventh prince so happy, if there is anything good, tell me about it." ”
As he was talking, the eldest princess and the concubine took the hand of the county lord of Anping, and also walked out of the greenhouse, and the people ran together.
The Seventh Prince turned his head to look at the county lord of Changping, but he didn't answer the question, "You are used to hiding and eavesdropping on others!" ”
Xia Qingyun felt a little fever on his face, and always felt that the Seventh Prince was talking about her. Raised her eyes and looked at the eldest princess and the concubine, the two of them looked calm, especially the concubine, well-dressed and calm, she was a little skeptical that she had just read it wrong.
