Chapter 449: Ten Princesses

Xin Liuren is very popular, after a class, I casually inquired a few words, and I figured out why Zhan Xueyuan and his group came to Sima Kui, it is said that it is the Holy Ancestor Sacrifice Day is imminent, Jingchen was sent by the emperor to Si Tianjian Counselor to prepare for the main ceremony, Taishi Shuyuan can't take care of it, so he asked Academician Sima to do it for him, and let a few new students follow him to recognize the ceremony.

Xin Liu not only inquired about these, but also others: "They said that you were recommended to participate in the ceremony, and you were replaced?" ”

"Hmm." Yu Shu didn't have much pity for this, so I don't know who Fang Zijing found later.

"I can't even choose you, I really don't know who they picked"

Xin Liu hugged her unevenly, the two walked on the way out of the garden gate, Yu Shu listened to her muttering, while looking at the drawings sent by Academician Sima in his hand today, familiar with the instruments of the stargazing platform, and when they arrived at the gate, when the two said goodbye, she mentioned it to Xin Liu:

"I'm going to go out here for a few days and find a good place to cool off, are you interested?"

"Want to go out and play?" Xin Liu's eyes lit up at first, and then he lowered his face and said: "It's not good on the fourth and fifth days of the new year, and no one can be absent from the family banquet in our house during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Yu Shu thought about the barometer that was calculated last night, reached out and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Then the third year of junior high school." ”

Xin Liu nodded happily, she had been bored at home for many days, and someone took her out to play, and she couldn't ask for it.

"Who else are you with?"

"Brother Xue and his sister, my younger brother Xiao Xiu, and the little son of the Feng family."

"Lord Xue's sister? Which one is it? ”

"It's the third girl of their family, her name is Jinxun, don't you recognize it?"

Hearing this, Xin Liu's face showed some strangeness, and he said, "It's her." ”

"Well, what's wrong with her?"

"No, nothing."

Yu Shu saw that Xin Liu's face was wrong, and he was suspicious, so he didn't plan to let her fool her, "If you have something to say, just say it, what are you doing to hide it from me?" If that's the case, I won't tell you anything next time I hear something. ”

Xin Liu pursed his lips, and Wen Wen didn't want to say: "It's not a good thing, it's been a long time, and it's not interesting to take it out and break it again, it's better not to say it." ”

Yu Shu glanced at her, turned his head and left.

"Eh, eh, don't go," Xin Liu hurriedly pulled her, seeing that Yu Shu looked like "I don't want to say pull down", depressed, looked around, dragged her into the teahouse opposite, went up to the second floor to find a private seat, and sent Xiao Er away, then closed the door and said bright words:

"You should have heard that the queen has no children under her knees, the second princess is the queen's concubine, and she has married Qiu Hengzhi, the eldest son of a scholar of Taowenguan, and now there is only one fourteen princesses by the queen's side, only nine years old, do you know that there was originally a tenth princess who was a concubine?"

Yu Shu shook her head, she was born in the market, and she had just been out for a few days, where did she know what was going on in the imperial city, but she had just come into contact with a few nobles, although Xue Rui, a relative of the imperial family, was a good person, but he didn't gossip about her on weekdays.

"These ten princesses died three years ago, and they said that they died of typhoid fever-" Xin Liu leaned forward, half-lying on the tea table, and suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"But in fact, the tenth princess fell from the Guanhai Tower, fell into the water in the winter, and died after being rescued."

When Yu Shu heard this, he had a vague guess in his heart, so he asked, "Could it be the death of the tenth princess, has something to do with Xue Jinxun?" ”

"Not only is it related, but there are rumors that it was the tenth princess who was killed by Miss Xue who fell into the water."

Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then wrinkled his brows, thinking of Xue Jinxun, the daughter of the prime minister's family, but he had a cowardly temperament, could it be because of this rumor?

"So when the people in Anling City heard about it, they didn't want to have anything to do with that Miss Xue, and the eldest prince Xue was even more unlucky, losing the position of a concubine in vain."

Xin Liu sighed lightly, Yu Shu listened to it in his ears, he was not stunned for a while, blinked his eyes a few times, and then repeated a few words dryly:

"Master Pony?"

"But isn't it, I listened to the private words of the elders, when the emperor intended to point out the ten princesses to Xue Dagongzi, he was about to make a holy decree, but at the last moment, the people were gone, Xue Dagongzi was sad, he left Anling City, and went to Beijing for two or three years, what a seed of infatuation"

Xin Liu was babbling on his own, not noticing that Yu Shu on the other side was silent and abnormal.

Coming out of the teahouse, Yu Shu and Xin Liu separated, got into the carriage, stopped halfway, got out of the car, and asked the coachman to go back first, she wanted to walk on the street alone, at this time she was upset, and when she returned to the Wangji Building, she didn't know what expression to face Xue Rui.

Xin Liu told her, she didn't believe it all, originally those things that chased the wind and shadows, there were three points true, and the rumors also made people say that they were very true.

She can not believe it, but she has to doubt-

Was the tenth princess killed by Xue Jinxun?

Did Xue Rui really almost become a colt?

And did he leave the capital because of love?

These questions stirred Yu Shu uneasy, she walked all the way, thought all the way, and unconsciously returned to the Wangji Building, standing at the door of the backyard, looking at the closed door, unable to open her legs.

"What are you doing here, are you going to be a door god?"

A laugh came from behind him, Yu Shu stiffly twisted his neck, and saw that not far away, Xue Rui, who was dressed in an official robe, came out of the soft sedan chair, holding a winged black gauze hat in his arm, and walked towards her with a bright expression.

When Yu Shu saw others, the scattered thoughts in his mind disappeared all of a sudden, and there was only one sour thought left-

She, a good-natured man, may not be the only woman in her heart.

Xue Rui walked up to her, saw her drooping face, raised his hand to touch her head for some reason, and asked in a good voice, "I see why are you unhappy?" ”

Taking a breath, Yu Shu pulled his hand down, turned around and knocked on the door, "No, it's too hot, I'm upset." ”

Xue Rui looked up at the scorching sun at noon and said, "It's been hot and humid these two days, and I don't know when it will rain." ”

Yu Shu glanced at him, went into the courtyard by himself, and went up to the second floor

During lunch, Yu Shu and Xue Rui mentioned that they wanted to go home to live.

"I came out and lived for almost a month, and I didn't care about the small repairs, I copied all the case files that should be copied, and it was time to go home."

Xue Rui's hand holding chopsticks paused, raised his head and said, "When will you leave?" ”

Yu Shu pretended not to see his strange look and said, "Just tomorrow." ”

Xue Rui took a spoonful of peach beans and put it on her plate, "You want to leave so suddenly, I really can't bear you." ”

Yu Shu tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not that you can't see each other, you just go back to your own home, you can't stay in this forgotten building for a lifetime." ”

Xue Rui listened to what she said, there was no nostalgia on his face, and he was secretly distressed, according to his thoughts, it was best to get along with her day and night, this girl didn't have deep feelings for him, maybe Er Ming'er left, and he would be forgotten in a few days.

He couldn't find a suitable reason for her to stay for a while, so he had to retreat: "I said before that I was going to go out to play, did you pick a good day?" ”

Yu Shu bit his chopsticks and said, "The third year of junior high school, I saw Xin Liu today and invited her to travel with her, and you can talk to Feng Zhaomiao in advance." ”

"Okay, on that day, we will go out early, take your horse, and I can teach you and Xiaoxiu to ride a horse in the suburbs, I have already let people explore the road and go out of the western suburbs."

On the selected day, Xue Rui arranged the specific itinerary, and Yu Shu listened without a word, and his mind didn't know where to go.

On the first day of May, Yu Shu was sent home by Xue Rui with a cart of miscellaneous items.

Zhao Hui's confinement was not full, and she couldn't get out of bed, so she didn't go out of the backyard, so she asked the nurse to follow Yu Shu to take the child out of the house, Xue Ruili was thoughtful, gave He Xiaochuan a complete set of exquisite puppets, teased the child for a while, got up to say goodbye, walked to the gate, looked back at Yu Shu who waved at him and saw him again, secretly thinking that the monk couldn't run the temple, so he turned his head and left with relief.

In the afternoon, Yu Xiaoxiu got out of class and saw his sister coming back, he was so happy that he immediately turned into a small tail and circled around Yu Shu.

After dinner, the two sisters and brothers returned to the room, and Yu Shu first reviewed Yu Xiaoxiu's homework in Baichuan Academy these days, asked a few questions, and told him that he would go out to play in two days.

"In the third year of junior high school, we went out for an outing, and we took Xiaohong with us, did your eldest brother Xue say that he would take you on horseback riding, are you happy?"

"Hmm!" Yu Xiaoxiu grinned in surprise, and after a while, he invited Yu Shu again: "Sister, when you are not at home, I bathe Xiaohong and feed the grass, so I can only lead it to walk in the yard, and its temper is getting worse and worse, and I want to stumble when I see people." ”

Yu Shu said embarrassedly: "No wonder I came back to the stables to see it, it rolled its eyes at me, it seems that I will be free in the future, I want to take it out of the horse to run more." ”

I didn't see Xu Ri, the sister and brother had a lot to say, and they couldn't help mentioning Aunt Cui during the period, Yu Xiaoxiu didn't know if he heard anything from Zhao Hui, but he didn't clamo to see people, but complained to Yu Shu a few words, complaining that Aunt Cui lived in someone else's house without saying a word, which made people worried.

Late at night, Yu Shu took Yu Xiaoxiu back to the room to rest, but called his scholar Bai Ran out alone and asked him some things in the school, such as whether Yu Xiaoxiu was bullied, whether he was naughty, whether the teacher was serious, and so on.

Bai Ran answered in detail, and after Yu Shu was satisfied, he returned to the room, and was pulled over by Yu Xiaoxiu, and excitedly shared the good news with him:

"Ah Ran, my sister said, she will take us out to play in two days, and Brother Xue will teach me how to ride a horse."

Yu Xiaoxiu was on the rise, but he didn't see the fear hidden in Bai Ran's eyes. (To be continued.)
