"Isn't my sister very different from the past." Zhong Ziyuan pointed to the unfinished picture of the eight horses on the embroidery frame in Liu Yuqing's room, and said: "I remember that my sister was most afraid of doing embroidery work in the past, and this is not also embroidered." ”

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "That's because my mother said that on the day I got married, I had to prepare a gift for the prince with my own hands." Thinking about it, I won't do anything, or the eldest brother said that the prince is good at riding, and he should like this picture of the eight horses of Xiaoyaozi. So I'm going to make embroidery and send it to him. ”

Zhong Ziyuan carefully looked at the picture of the eight horses that was about to be completed, and praised: "Sister's hands are really skillful, these horses seem to be alive, and they are very powerful. I used to think that my sister was not as good at embroidery as me! ”

Looking at the picture of the eight horses, Liu Yuqing's eyes were so gentle that they could almost drip water, she reached out and gently brushed the fine stitches on the eight horses, and said sweetly: "I only tell you, in fact, in addition to this picture of the eight horses, I also made two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for the prince with my own hands, but it's a pity that my clumsy work is rougher."

I didn't like to do embroidery because I didn't want to learn. I always feel that reading, playing chess, playing the piano, and reciting poetry are all more important than this. But on the day when I was really married, I thought again about how pleasant it would be to let the prince wear the clothes, shoes and socks that I had sewn with my own hands. So I think embroidery is very good, and I should study it hard. ”

Liu Yuqing hung his head slightly, revealing a neck as beautiful as a pink lotus. Her action of caressing the Eight Horses is so gentle, loving, her watery eyes faintly flashed with touching shyness, the expectation of being married and the infinite longing for happiness.

Zhong Ziyuan's throat rolled. She swallowed hard. All the truth gathered on the tip of her tongue, but she was powerless and couldn't bear to reveal it. One of her hearts was almost crumbled into a mess at the moment.

After a while, she lowered her eyelids. Youyou said: "Sister, you and I have known each other since childhood, not sisters but better than many sisters in this world. My sister knows that you seem to be light and light, but in fact, you are extremely arrogant and strong. You obviously have a good family background, but you are still diligent in your studies, and your poems and songs never leave your mouth. Among the nobles of Chang'an City, it can be said that it is second to none. My sister is also looking forward to my sister meeting someone who really understands you. Love you, value your good husband.

Of course, my sister is not saying that Prince Rui is bad. It's just that this marriage has come by a strange way. My sister just hopes that my sister can take care of herself, and don't rush to serve a piece of sincerity urgently, so as not to be hurt needlessly if something happens in the future. It's better to wait until Prince Rui expounds his heart and confirms his intentions. ”

For this marriage. Liu Yuqing has actually been in a state of suffering from gains and losses. She heard that Zhong Ziyuan seemed to have something to say, so she hurriedly took her hand and asked, "What does my sister know?" Hurry up and tell my sister. ”

Before Zhong Ziyuan could speak, there was a loud "pop", but the door of the embroidery room was pushed open suddenly. Mrs. Liu stood at the door, her eyes as cold as a knife scraping on Zhong Ziyuan's body. Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but shudder, and saluted obediently: "I've seen Madame." ”

As soon as Zhong Ziyuan's voice fell, there was another "snap", and the window that Zhong Ziyuan had climbed through earlier was opened. Yukihime burrowed in as quickly as a raccoon hair. Her beautiful eyes quickly turned around the room, and saw that Zhong Ziyuan was safe and sound. Immediately relieved. Then he bowed down to Mrs. Liu, who opened her mouth and looked stunned, "I've seen Madame." ”

Mrs. Liu was furious, when did her precious daughter's embroidery room become a big road, one or two wanted to come. She couldn't help but shout angrily: "Who are you who dare to break into my Taifu Mansion." ”

The corners of Zhong Ziyuan's eyes twitched, and she hurriedly saluted Mrs. Liu before Xue Ji spoke: "Madame, don't blame, she is Xue Ji, she came with me to see my sister." ”

Mrs. Liu still scolded mercilessly: "Can you be so rude when you come with you?" What do you think of my Taifu Mansion? ”

For Mrs. Liu's anger, Xue Ji was not afraid at all. She smiled and said leisurely: "Today is a good day for Miss Liu, so she is a guest at the door, why should Mrs. be so angry." ”

Seeing this, Liu Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mrs. Liu's elbow, and said coquettishly: "Sister Ziyuan is rare to come, mother, don't be angry about these little things." Are you done outside, do you want Caixia Mingyue to help? ”

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and gently patted the back of her hand. A stiff smile slowly appeared on his cold cheeks, and he said, "I originally wanted to come and get the nine-story eighty-one ebony pear blossom soft inlaid luodian makeup cage in your house, and the gold and silver jewelry sent by Prince Rui plus the ones we purchased ourselves should be put in." I didn't think about it, but I heard the sound of chattering in the house, and I knew that it was Aster who came. It's just that I've been busy in the yard, why haven't I seen you? ”

Liu Yuqing covered her mouth and chuckled: "But you shocked your mother? It was Sister Shion who was naughty again, and she scared me when she banged on my back window. ”

"I see." Mrs. Liu looked at Zhong Ziyuan, who was embarrassed, and said meaningfully: "Ziyuan really has a heart." It's just that your good sister is busy with the big wedding now, but you are running around with people to climb the window, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

Zhong Ziyuan half-lowered her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak. Liu Yuqing saw that Mrs. Liu still had a faint sense of blame, she stomped her feet and said, "Mother, they all say that Sister Ziyuan rarely comes here, and you don't blame her." ”

Mrs. Liu sighed secretly, she looked at Zhong Ziyuan, Xue Ji's eyes were still cold, and she said indifferently: "It's okay!" Since he came, he is also a distinguished guest of our Liu Mansion. Why don't you help your sister take a look at the newly sewn wedding dress? ”

Liu Yuqing's face turned red, and Ren Lao said generously: "Exactly, Sister Ziyuan, you come to help my sister see where there is anything wrong." Caixia and Mingyue worked together, and moved out a vermilion and gold lacquer hanger from behind the screen, and a red wedding dress with gold and embroidered phoenix and splendid splendor.

A large-sleeved shirt with red makeup python dark flowers and gold silk double-layered wide silk, embroidered with a mandarin duck pomegranate pattern on the edge, and a sunflower-shaped red gold inlaid ruby collar buckle on the chest. Covered with a big red veil embroidered with a phoenix Yu Fei pattern decorated with pearls, the winged golden phoenix seems to come to life. On the waist, there are twelve mountain and river geography fairy dresses. The long hem of the tail skirt is dragged to the ground for three feet, and the edge is embellished with inch-long gold silk moire, and those gold silk colored lines are naturally shining when walking. The whole room was immediately brightened by this wedding dress.

Zhong Ziyuan smacked his tongue secretly. Even Yukihime was stupid. It is estimated that such a luxurious and beautiful wedding dress is what every girl dreams of having.

Liu Yuqing was still waiting for Zhong Ziyuan's comments, she had to step forward with a smile, and with Liu Yuqing's meaning, she stretched out her hand and brushed it on the fine and thick wedding dress, and kept praising in her mouth. However, she thought that with Mrs. Liu's current hostility towards herself, she would never let herself look at the wedding dress inexplicably. I'm afraid there are still words waiting for me.

Sure enough, Mrs. Liu pinched the big red shawl on the wedding dress, and said seemingly casually: "This phoenix Yu Feixia cloak was personally rewarded by the emperor, because your sister is the most suitable candidate for Prince Rui and Princess in the emperor's mind." This. Even Prince Rui himself can't change it. She squinted at Zhong Ziyuan again, and said with a smile: "Ziyuan, you, as a sister, can you be happy that Yuqing's wish has been fulfilled?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan groaned slightly. smiled: "My sister's wedding dress is really beautiful. There was no blemish at all. Sister and Prince Rui are also a match made in heaven, and they will be harmonious and happy, and Ziyuan is naturally happy for her sister. ”

Mrs. Liu relaxed her face and nodded with satisfaction, and after greeting for a while, several maids and wives came to Mrs. Liu, and Zhong Ziyuan took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.

Mrs. Liu personally sent Zhong Ziyuan to the gate of the courtyard, before leaving. She also deliberately said in Zhong Ziyuan's ear: "Ziyuan, Yuqing's wedding day." It's bound to be busy. If you don't have time, you won't use it, I don't think Yuqing will blame you. ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said with a low eyebrow: "Yes." ”

When Mrs. Liu saw her lonely face, she couldn't bear it after all. Yan Hong's lips moved, but she still didn't say anything, only stomped her foot and turned away categorically.

The inner courtyard is silent, and through the high courtyard wall, you can faintly hear the singing of the outer courtyard troupe, as well as the laughter of loud talking, and from time to time there are bursts of wine fragrance wafting, staggered, thinking that the banquet is not over yet.

Zhong Ziyuan took Xue Ji and Yu Ji slowly along the cobblestone path. There is a small pond here, surrounded by rocks on three sides, and it looks like a winding path that is full of fun.

Zhong Ziyuan remembers that this pond is not big, but there are many koi fish in it, and last summer, she and Liu Yuqing also caught fish here, but in less than two years, there are many things that are wrong. Even this small pond is covered with a thick layer of crystal clear ice, and I am afraid that those fat koi fish will be involuntarily cut off from life.

Xue Ji saw that Zhong Ziyuan had been silent, knowing that she was not in a good mood, she couldn't help but be indignant and said: "Then Mrs. Liu is really rude, she has no head and no brains to be choreographed by her, which makes people unconvinced." ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled bitterly: "That's it, I don't blame her." It is estimated that every mother, when she perceives that her children will be harmed, will subconsciously spread her wings to protect her children under her wings. I'm just worried that this misunderstanding is piling up like a ticking time bomb. By the time of the explosion, many innocent people will be affected by this unjustified disaster. ”

Xue Ji and Yu Ji looked at each other, and their eyes were puzzled. Or Xue Ji was curious: "Miss Shion, what is a time bomb and what is an explosion?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at herself: "I'm speaking Martian again." She looked at the sky and said, "It is estimated that the banquet outside is about to disperse, let's go faster!" ”

Walk a few steps through the hinterland of the rockery, and there is an open flat land outside. I saw a slender figure standing with his back to them. The man heard the footsteps behind him, and slowly turned his head, and the bright sun reflected the man's beauty, handsomeness, and nobility.

Zhong Ziyuan's steps froze, his heart tightened, and he only felt that the hairs on his body were about to explode. Xue Ji behind her, Yu Ji immediately bowed down and said, "I've seen Prince Rui." ”

Zhu Yi nodded, his body was still filled with a faint aroma of wine, but his eyes were unusually bright and clear. He frowned deeply, stared at Zhong Ziyuan with a puzzled expression, and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhong Ziyuan tried to calm down, still with a decent smile on her face, Ying Ying bowed down and said, "I've seen Prince Rui." ”

Zhu Yi looked at her quietly, and finally spoke: "You are not Liu Yuqing, who are you?" He used affirmative sentences instead of question sentences, Zhong Ziyuan's brain exploded, it was almost explosive, he was really afraid of anything.

Zhong Ziyuan still didn't speak, her eyes swept around, trying to find a chance to slip away. He looked at her greedily, from her soothing eyebrows, to her thick eyelashes, to the pair of small pear vortices at the corners of her mouth. Especially her amber eyes, which made him never get tired of looking at them.

There was an eerie silence, and Xue Ji and Yu Ji also looked at each other, wondering why the two of them in front of them were so weird. Until Zhu Yi's gaze stopped at the snow-white white fox fur scarf around Zhong Ziyuan's neck. He frowned and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this scarf seems to be Zhu Fei's. No wonder when I was at the gate of Liufu before, I looked at your back from a distance and felt very familiar, when you were still wearing men's clothes and standing with Zhu Fei. ”

Zhu Yi swept Xue Ji vigilantly again, Yu Ji glanced at her, raised her voice and asked, "Who are you and what is your relationship with Zhu Fei?" His tone was sour and harsh, like a husband who caught his wife cheating.

Hearing him question so recklessly, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but feel nameless anger in her heart, and she said coldly: "What is my relationship with the prince of Shu, it seems that it is not your turn to ask." She flicked her sleeves and wanted to leave.

Zhu Yi's heart was jealous, hateful and full of doubts, he stepped forward and grabbed her wrist with the smell of wine, and said sharply: "Answer me, who are you." ”

The stinging pain in her wrist made Zhong Ziyuan extremely angry, she took a deep breath, a coldness floated on her jade-like white and beautiful face, and said coldly: "Xue Ji, Yu Ji, are you just watching from the sidelines?" Xue Ji, Yu Ji came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhong Ziyuan break free from Zhu Yi's control.

Zhong Ziyuan rubbed his wrist that was about to be bruised, looked at Zhu Yi's almost red eyes, and tried to say indifferently: "Prince Rui is drunk, so he will talk so nonsense." Today is a great day for you to accept the expedition, and it is a great joy. Why are you so entangled with a strange woman who only has two sides? If Mrs. Liu knew about this, he wouldn't be happy, and he would ask Prince Rui to respect himself. ”

Zhu Yi was really depressed to the extreme, and finally couldn't help but shout angrily: "Hugh wants to use that old man of Taifu Liu to scare me, my dignified Prince Rui is not for them to fool." Don't say that today is just a levy, even if today is a big wedding, if you don't make things clear, you don't want to leave. Zhong Ziyuan's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but secretly complain. (To be continued......)
