116. It's not going to his appointment
"Tiantian, I want to make it clear to you, you can't go! If you go, I'll ......" Mu Linglan was anxious, and couldn't help but pull Cheng Tiantian's sleeve, but the next half of the words didn't come out.
"What about you?" Cheng Tian looked at him with cold eyes and asked.
"I'll tell Brother Xuan!" Mu Linglan rushed out, and suddenly blushed again.
"Haha, Xiaolan, you are really your Brother Xuan's good brother. He's not at home, so you can help him supervise me. I won't talk about tomorrow now, you can think for yourself. Cheng Tiantian suddenly felt a little funny, the cute Xiaolan was really innocent and cute.
Gently pulled out his sleeve from Mu Linglan's hand, and couldn't help but smile: "Xiaolan, can we stop talking about this matter?" Let's talk about something else interesting. ”
Mu Linglan was about to speak, but the two of them suddenly heard Qingqingjiao's angry voice: "Third prince, princess, what a coincidence, you are here." ”
Cheng Tiantian and Mu Linglan turned around and saw Qingqing walking over from the path of the palace garden with spring snow. In Chunxue's hand, he also carried a delicate bamboo birdcage, which contained several snow-white pigeons.
"yes, I just came back from playing outside. Qingqing, when did you develop a hobby of pigeon breeding? Cheng Tiantian said, wondering in her heart, why did Qingqing suddenly raise a bird? I had never seen these pigeons in the palace before.
"Alas, princess, you also know that the prince is often not in the palace, and I don't often come to talk to you like you and the third prince, I am really lonely over there. Yesterday I went shopping, and I bought these pigeons at the bird market and came back. Qingqing sighed and said, with soft eyes, with a little resentment, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Mu Linglan who was standing beside Cheng Tiantian.
Mu Linglan was not used to being stared at by such a woman with affectionate eyes, and was slightly uncomfortable, so she only nodded politely to Qingqing, then turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery next to her.
"Hehe, Qingqing, this time the prince has been away from the palace for a long time, and he won't be able to come back until half a month later, and you can buy these birds to accompany you." Cheng Tiantian smiled indifferently.
"Why did the prince go, and it took so long to come back? Why didn't he go back to the palace when he left? Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and her charming eyes revealed a look of surprise and disappointment alternately.
"There's something wrong with him, I can't say the specifics." Cheng Tiantian thought about it, and could only answer Qingqing like this.
"Oh." Qingqing only sighed this time and didn't say anything.
Cheng Tiantian looked at Qingqing's face full of loss, and suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for her in her heart. An ancient woman like her, who pinned all her spiritual pillars on a single man, was really pitiful.
Every day's life is to dress up, scratch your head, and wait for that man to pamper you. When you are in your youth, you may be able to rely on your youth and beauty to win a little favor from men. When one day he gets old, he will lose his lustre, the scenery will no longer be beautiful, and the ending will generally be very bleak.
"Qingqing, the prince is not in the palace for a while, I am also going to take Lianbao back to the general's mansion to live for a few days, you take care of the daily affairs of the palace here, and the prince will definitely praise you when he comes back." Because she had some sympathy for Qingqing, Cheng Tiantian spoke to her in a much softer tone at the moment.
"The princess is also going back to her parents' house?" Qingqing asked with a smile, the little frustration on her face just now had been swept away.
"Yes, go back and accompany my mother." Cheng Tiantian said.
"Princess, I met your sister-in-law yesterday, she is really a rare beauty in the world, is she okay?" Qingqing asked casually, with an unpredictable glint in her eyes.
She ...... Absolutely. Cheng Tiantian groaned for a moment, and looked at Qingqing with some surprise: "You pay attention to my Sister Yunying?" ”
"Hehe, it's the princess's sister-in-law, and it's so beautiful that we women are red-eyed, I'll ask in passing." Qingqing smiled in disguise, and turned her gaze away from Cheng Tiantian's inquiring gaze.
Looking at Qingqing's slightly unnatural eyes, Cheng Tiantian's heart couldn't help but pass through a trace of strange surprise, why did it seem that Qingqing seemed to care about Sister Yun Ying? Is it because of Mu Lingxuan? Or is there another reason?
"Princess, you and the third prince talk slowly, I'll retire first." Qingqing didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, so she hurriedly said goodbye, turned around and left with Chunxue.
The large, exquisitely crafted birdcage also swayed away with their departure.
Watching Qingqing's back walk away, Cheng Tiantian said to herself: "Do people with psychological emptiness like to have pets?" ”
"She's no ordinary pigeon." Mu Linglan said thoughtfully.
"What's that?" Cheng Tiantian is a little strange, in her eyes, the pigeons raised by Qingqing are exactly the same as ordinary pigeons.
"The size of the ordinary pigeon is not so big, you see that the pigeon she has is very large, with a full chest and abdomen, and relatively long legs, which should be specially trained carrier pigeons." Mu Linglan patiently explained to Cheng Tiantian.
"Huh? Homing pigeon? The kind of pigeon that can send letters? Cheng Tiantian was even more surprised, and said puzzledly: "How can Qingqing still have this Yaxing?" Keeping pigeons to play? She didn't need to send a letter to anyone. ”
"I don't know about this, but some people are very fond of keeping pigeons. There is also a special pigeon market in the capital, and the pigeon flight competition is held every once in a while, maybe Qingqing loves this. Mu Linglan smiled disapprovingly and changed the topic: "Tiantian, do you want to go back to the General's Mansion to live?" ”
"Yes, I'm here to pick up Lianbao and go back with me today. Anyway, the prince won't come back for half a month, and my mother is the only one left in my house, so I'll go back to accompany my mother. Cheng Tiantian said.
"Brother Xuan, what did he do? I heard from my father today that Brother Xuan sent someone to help him take leave, but even my father didn't know exactly what he was doing. Mu Linglan asked.
"He saved my Sister Yun Ying." Cheng Tiantian sighed slightly, afraid that Mu Linglan would not know, so she added: "It's my sister-in-law." ”
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law? Why did Brother Xuan save it? Mu Linglan asked with concern.
"was caught by the bad guys, and the prince has already rescued her, but because Sister Yun Ying is unwell, she can only come back after half a month." Cheng Tiantian said the matter concisely.
"Uh, this, Brother Xuan and your sister-in-law......" Mu Linglan was shocked, his tongue became a little clever, and he didn't finish a sentence after thinking about it for a long time.
"My father and my brother are not at home, he is my son-in-law, there is something in my family, who will come out if he doesn't come out?" Cheng Tiantian glared at Mu Linglan lightly, not wanting to talk more about the intricate reasons.
"Yes, but ......" Although Mu Linglan felt that Tian Tian was right, he always felt that something strange was in his heart.
Brother Xuan and his sweet sister-in-law are outside for half a month? Brother Xuan's son-in-law is also too good, why didn't he think that Brother Xuan was so good to Tiantian's family before?
"Don't be! Accompany me to Ziyuyuan to pick up Lianbao, you can send us back to the General's Mansion. Cheng Tiantian interrupted him unceremoniously, and when she thought of it, she was also entangled and simply didn't mention it.
"Of course it's no problem, Tiantian, then in the next few days, I'll go to the General's Mansion to see you." Mu Linglan's face was filled with the warmth of the spring breeze, and he was happy to serve his beloved girl.
A pair of young boys and girls of the same age immediately regained their former intimacy, and walked towards Ziyuyuan together talking and laughing. The little unpleasantness that filled the two of them during the quarrel just now was all thrown out of the clouds.
When he came to Ziyuyuan, Lianbao saw Cheng Tiantian, and really made a fuss for a long time. She was frightened to say that the young lady did not come back last night. I didn't find it when I went to look for the prince, so I had to go to Mu Fei again, who knew that Mu Fei was still there in the afternoon, and then I didn't see anyone, so I was so anxious that she almost cried, and she didn't fall asleep the last night......
Cheng Tiantian couldn't help laughing and said, "Silly girl, can't I come back to you well?" Hurry up and pack our things, let's go back to the General's Mansion in the next few days. ”
"Miss, why do you want to go back to the General's Mansion to live?" Lianbao asked.
"I'll tell you slowly on the way, you pack your things first, otherwise my mother will be in a hurry at home." Cheng Tiantian urged Lianbao to leave quickly.
Lianbao was originally a clever little girl, and after a while, she packed up the daily clothes of the two of them, and Mu Linglan used his carriage to send Cheng Tiantian and Lianbao back to the General's Mansion.
On the way, Cheng Tiantian roughly repeated what happened yesterday and told Lianbao to listen, and Lianbao's girl was naturally shocked when she heard it.
When she heard that the prince and the young lady would not be able to come back in half a month, her mouth opened into a round shape, but with Mu Linglan beside her, she fortunately didn't say anything more shocking.
On the second day after returning to the General's Mansion, after lunch, Cheng Tiantian began to feel a little uneasy.
Because the time is coming, she has not forgotten Ji Feng's invitation. had already made up her mind not to go on this unreasonable date, but when it came to the appointed time, her mood was somehow conflicted, should she go? Or not going?
Reason was telling Cheng Tiantian that he shouldn't go and couldn't go, but when he remembered what Ji Feng said in the red maple forest yesterday: "It's the same as before, whether you come or not, I will wait for you." ”
She actually felt a little uneasy in her heart, if she didn't go, she believed that Ji Feng would definitely wait there forever.
After walking around the room a few times with a heavy heart, Cheng Tiantian still went out and walked towards No. 8 East Street.
She told herself in her heart that you weren't going to his appointment, you were just going to tell him to stop waiting, you wouldn't go to the Red Maple Forest with him......
