Dongfang Xu returned from the horse training field, and Feng Yu had been waiting in the palace for a long time.

"Feng Yu, what's going on in the past two days?" What he meant was that he had entered the palace twice in just two days, and it seemed that something had happened.

"Your Highness, have you read the letter from Miss Du San?"

Dongfang Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered something, "This...... I had a few drinks with you yesterday, and I forgot about it when I came back, does Miss Du San have something important? It's okay, I'll watch it now. ”

Sure enough, he believed that His Royal Highness was definitely not such a small-bellied person, Feng Yu smiled slightly, and then opened the hem of his clothes and followed.

However, there was no correspondence on the desk.

"The letter, I remember putting it here."

Dongfang Xu looked for it suspiciously, Feng Yu couldn't help frowning, could it be, that letter fell into someone else's hands, so the emperor knew that Miss Du San was unwilling to enter the palace, so he angered the emperor?

"Wait, found it!" Dongfang Xu finally found the letter under the stack of books, and he smiled helplessly, "It must have been the palace people who came to clean it yesterday and accidentally pressed it underneath." ”

After that, he slowly opened the letter, Feng Yu paid attention to his face, and after a while, Dongfang Xu restrained his expression and put the letter aside.

Miss Du San? Miss Du San? "By the way, this Miss Du San, could it be that Miss Hou Fu who likes you?"

Dongfang Xu had heard a little about this matter, but he didn't get in touch for a while. The corners of his mouth immediately hooked up a hint of curvature, "I see, I see." ”

As soon as Feng Yu heard his tone, he knew that the prince had misunderstood, "Your Highness, no, this is ......"

"Don't worry, the third lady of the Changqing Hou Mansion was chosen by the queen mother herself, if I don't want to, she can choose someone else. Why didn't you say it earlier? Almost, it ruined the relationship between you and my brother! ”

Dongfang Xu stretched out his hand and patted Feng Yu on the shoulder.

"Your Highness, don't get me wrong, Miss Nadu and I are just ordinary friends......"

"yes, I see." Dongfang Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“……”

On this day, the phoenix hall was particularly lively, the queen invited several young ladies to the palace to enjoy the plum blossoms, Yun Shu was naturally among the invitees, she understood what the queen meant, it was different from the concubine selection conference, this time, the queen wanted to make the final decision.

Yun Shu's eyes couldn't help but fall on the two young ladies in the Changqing Hou Mansion opposite, the two of them have their own merits, Miss Du Er is as graceful and generous as a peony, and Miss Du San is as noble and proud as a red plum, the two sit together, forming a beautiful scenery, which makes people can't help but be pleasing to the eye.

The two of them and Wu Huiyun of the Marquis of Changyuan Mansion are the most outstanding among these young ladies, but the cultural heritage of the Marquis of Changqing is profound, which makes the gestures of these two young ladies full of natural elegance and calmness.

And in them, Yun Shu saw the true and natural sisterhood.

"I heard Mrs. Changqinghou say that Miss Du San has been unwell recently, but is she getting better?" The queen's caring tone made Du Yuanfang's heart tighten, "Thank you for the queen's concern, the courtiers are just a slight typhoid fever." ”

"Miss Du rarely goes out, so she must not adapt to the outside climate." At this time, Wu Huiyun on the side opened her mouth, with a friendly smile on her face, and Du Yuanfang nodded slightly.

In fact, even if the Changqing Hou Mansion did not publicize it, many people heard the rumors, saying that the queen mother intended to choose the prince's side concubine, and the young lady of the Changqing Hou Mansion was the most likely.

Since the last concubine selection conference, Wu Huiyun's hopes were disappointed, she went back and fell seriously ill, and only recovered in recent days, and then she actually heard such news, which made Wu Huiyun unable to hold back.

Princess Yiguo, she can't compare, but among all the young ladies, she doesn't admit that she will lose to anyone, even if it is the young lady of the Marquis of Changqing.

In terms of fame, everyone in Kyoto knows that she is a talented woman, and the two ladies of the Changqing Marquis Mansion are much more low-key. There should be a woman with a halo by the prince's side to set off the dignity of His Royal Highness.

"I've always heard that Miss Du San has only known people, so it's better to use the scenery as the theme to compose a poem to add the queen's mother Yaxing, how about it?"

Du Yuanfang didn't expect Wu Huiyun to suddenly have such a mention, but she was full of worries, and she really didn't have this inspiration and leisure.

The queen naturally saw Du Yuanfang's slightly pale face, and smiled at the moment, "Miss Du San has just recovered from a minor illness, so there is no need to compose poetry." ”

Wu Huiyun was disdainful in her heart, thinking that this young lady of the Marquis of Changqing Mansion was nothing more than Erer, but she couldn't do it with poetry and poetry, how could she be the prince's concubine?

"The queen mother forgives her sins, and she blames the courtiers for sweeping Yaxing."

Although she said this, to others, it seemed that Du Yuanfang swept away the mother's Yaxing.

Du Yuanxiu looked at the depressed love of his sister beside him, and couldn't help but reach out and give her a comforting temperature.

"I heard that Miss Du Er plays the piano well, I don't know if today, Hui Yun has the honor to listen to the sounds of heaven?"

Yun Shu looked at Wu Huiyun's sparkling eyes, today, Miss Wu seemed to be a little aggressive.

How could Du Yuanxiu not hear the hostility in her tone, and didn't say anything, she replied with a shallow smile, "The sister is unwell, and she swept the queen's Yaxing, and the courtiers will stroke the piano and make amends to the young ladies." ”

Yun Shu was interested, she found that Du Yuanxiu's eyes were full of promise, compared to Wu Huiyun's proud eyes, this Du Yuanxiu couldn't help but feel good.

A guqin was presented, and the woman walked in front of everyone generously, sat down, moved her arms slightly, and Yun Shu's eyes immediately lit up.

If you talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Yun Shu thinks that she is inferior to others, but she is attracted by Du Yuanxiu's elegant and fairy-like movements, such a beautiful posture! Just looking at this posture makes people hold their breath.

The light and flowing notes came, accompanied by the beautiful singing, "The plum falls and the branches are thousands of pieces, still amorous, and the snow turns ...... with the wind"

Du Yuanfang couldn't write poems, she wrote them for her sister, and the poems and tunes were perfectly integrated, which made people admire.

The queen was also amazed by this unique method of stroking the qin, and when she looked at this Miss Du Er, she was really outstanding.

Although Miss Du San is very good, but now that I look at it, this Miss Du Er is also good.

Wu Huiyun found that the queen's eyes were full of praise, and she was unwilling for a while, but she was not very proficient in playing the qin. Then Du Yuanxiu combines poetry and fuqin, if he just writes a poem in general, how can he leave a deep impression on the queen?

For a while, Wu Huiyun felt that she really shouldn't have spoken rashly, but let the Changqing Marquis Mansion be in the limelight.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration.

"The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the moon and dusk......"

Another song floated in the gap of Du Yuanxiu's score, and everyone looked at Wu Huiyun who was intoxicated in surprise, thinking that Miss Wu was because this song was too beautiful, and she couldn't help it for a while, so she didn't think about it.

But if you look at Du Yuanfang's position, you will definitely feel that her move is very disrespectful to herself, Yun Shu paid attention to her face, and found that Du Yuanfang's eyes were just a flash of surprise, and then he chuckled, and even, in order to cooperate with Wu Huiyun, he specially slowed down his tune.

This person plays the piano and sings alone, and the cooperation is seamless.

"Good! It was really an eye-opener for Hongu. ”

The queen was full of laughter, and at the end of the song, Du Yuanxiu slowly returned to her seat, looking at Wu Huiyun's proud smile and nodding slightly, "Miss Wu's singing voice is so beautiful." ”

“…… Miss Du's tunes are not bad. ”

Wu Huiyun thought that she would see her expression of hidden anger, but she didn't expect Du Yuanxiu to be so generous, and praised her voice for being good, and for a while, Wu Huiyun felt a little bored.

If the other party is also high-spirited, then you don't need to be polite, if the other party accepts everywhere, you will only provoke the discussion of others.

This plum blossom appreciation conference ended in the falling petals, but what everyone didn't expect was that in this short period of time, it would change the fate of many people.

In the Queen's Palace.

"What does the prince think?" The queen looked at Dongfang Xu's face, and thought that the other party would have a feeling of resistance for a while, but she didn't expect the handsome man to stand up, "Queen Mother, just this Miss Du Er." ”

The queen was a little surprised, "You don't like Miss Du San?" ”

Dongfang Xu naturally wouldn't sue her, Du Yuanfang liked Feng Yu, and he didn't want to take away people's favor. "I've seen Miss Du Er, and I've heard that she plays the piano very beautifully."

The queen couldn't help but chuckle for a while, it seems that someone told His Royal Highness the crown prince about Miss Du Er's outstanding performance at the plum appreciation conference.

"Well, it's good if you like it, this Second Miss Du, the queen mother is also very satisfied."

The key to the eight-character thing is to look at the person. The prince can accept it, which is already something that the queen can't ask for.

"In addition, the queen mother also found a young lady for Rui'er."

"The Queen Mother?" Dongfang Xu didn't expect that the queen would actually help Dongfang Rui Zhang Luo get married.

Rui'er has also reached the age of marriage, he has been by his mother's side since he was a child, and only his mother can do it for him. Why don't you give him Miss Wu from the Marquis of Changyuan's mansion? ”

Dongfang Xu thought for a moment, "Miss Wu is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, and she is also suitable for the emperor's brother." ”

"Do you think it's suitable? Well, let's do it. The queen smiled with satisfaction, she chose this concubine for Dongfang Rui because she had her own plans.

Soon, the decree of marriage was issued, and some people were happy and some were sad.

In the Changqing Marquis' Mansion, in the hall, the two young ladies with a blue heart stood together, looking at the joyful look of Mrs. Changqing Hou.

"Yuanxiu, the palace has issued a holy decree to promise you to the prince as a side concubine."

Du Yuanxiu was stunned for a moment, obviously not hearing clearly what Mrs. Changqinghou meant, "Mother, not the third sister......"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked you, and the Queen Mother changed her mind."

Du Yuanfang on the side was a little worried at first, but when he turned his head, two red clouds flew on Du Yuanxiu's cheeks, and he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes, "Second sister, it turns out that you ......"

How could she not know this expression.

On the other hand, for Wu Huiyun, this is simply a bolt from the blue.

"Second prince? How, how can this be?! ”

"Huiyun, what's wrong with you?" Although it is a pity that Mrs. Changyuan is not the position of the prince's side concubine, the second prince has been raised by the queen's side since he was a child, and it is not bad to be the second imperial concubine.

"No, I don't want to do anything as a second princess, I don't even know what the second prince looks like......"

"Huiyun, you must not say this again, the holy decree has been issued, do you want to resist and disobey the decree?! That's a great crime to kill your head! ”

"Kill the head......" Wu Huiyun only felt chaos in her brain, and then collapsed to the ground. There are so many young ladies, why did you choose her? Could it be that it was because he presented a song in front of the queen at the plum blossom appreciation conference?

At this moment, Wu Huiyun tasted regret.
