Chapter 15: The Actor

The two sisters walked along the verandah to the Lotus Fragrance Temple, and their maids followed far behind.

Xu Yilian was silent, and Xu Cancan followed her without speaking.

The name of the Lotus Incense Temple is not true, there is no lotus flower, but there are a few leafy plane trees, it is early summer, the broad plane leaves block the sun, leaving shade.

Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan entered the main house.

The two sisters sat down on a carved rosewood couch in the hall.

Xu Yilian's eldest maid Liu Ying made tea and sent it up, and then retreated silently.

There was silence in the room.

Xu Cancan sat on the red sandalwood kang table, smelling the fragrance of the moon flower juice emanating from his dress and the fragrance of tea in front of him, and silently thought about his heart.

Whether in her previous life or in this life, she was at the bottom of society, but she didn't expect that in this life, she would have a high-ranking uncle, and because of her beauty, she has also become a bargaining chip for the family to climb!

Xu Cancan understands herself, she is not smart, and she has no scheming, to protect herself, the only way to protect herself is to abide by the rules and let others have no gaps! Therefore, no matter how much she misses Fu Yuchen in her heart, and in reality, she will be firm in herself and go up step by step, because she can't turn back after retiring from the Wang family!

After Xu Yilian calmed down, she found that Xu Cancan was in a daze, but the dazed Xu Cancan was also like a fairy lost in the world, still so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate.

The gap between the two in appearance is too big, Xu Yilian has no desire to be jealous of her, at this time, seeing her distracted, she couldn't help but smile, picked up the celadon lotus cup and handed it to Xu Cancan: "Second sister, this tea was obtained by my third uncle when he was the prefect of Xinyang, and it was specially brought back, sister, taste it!" ”

Xu Cancan came back to his senses at this time, took the cup with a smile, took a sip and put it down.

Xu Yilian looked at her and felt a little sad in her heart - this cousin who was rude and beautiful when she first came here, under the strong training of the teachers, now has an elegant demeanor in her every move.

She pondered her emotions for a while, and then said with a smile: "Second sister, when you arrive at the Dingguo Mansion, you just follow me, and if there is anything, our sisters will solve it in detail." ”

glanced at Xu Cancan again, lowered his eyes and said: "The Guogong Mansion is divided into front yard and back yard, adult men only move in the front yard, and my sister can be careful not to go to the front yard." ”

"The Duchess of the Kingdom loves Fu Gongzi, if he hadn't acted obediently, I'm afraid he would have become a son of the world."

"There are some mothers in the world who don't want their concubines to marry a good wife."

Xu Cancan knew that she was pointing at herself, straightened up, looked at her with blazing eyes, and listened carefully.

After saying a few words, Xu Cancan reached out to hold Xu Yilian's hand, and her crystal little face was full of gratitude: "Xie Lu Xie Third Sister!" Whether Xu Yilian is for the face of the Xu Mansion or for the sake of wooing her, she has to be grateful, not to mention that she is really grateful.

Xu Hanshi was ready to go, and Mei Xue came over to call them.

The group walked to the corner gate leading from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and the two ornate carriages were already parked outside. Xu Yipeng was waiting on the side, and when he saw his mother coming, he hurriedly helped Xu Han into the Cuihu Qixiang car in front, and then came over to help Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan on the Hualun Baogai car behind. The big girl Liu Ying brought by Xu Yilian and the big girl Biyun brought by Xu Cancan got into the car by themselves.

The coachman "drove", and the carriage set off slowly.

Although it was summer, the bamboo curtain covering the car window was very fine, and it was difficult to see the outside scene clearly, Xu Cancan and Xu Yilian sat side by side in the car, and neither spoke. And Liuying and Biyun didn't dare to speak, and there was silence in the carriage for a while.

Xu Cancan felt that she didn't talk much, but compared to Xu Yilian, she became a chatter! Along the way, Xu Yilian actually sat upright all the time, not saying a single superfluous word, and was about to suffocate Xu Cancan to death. She felt that if she were a man, she would respect a wife like Xu Yilian very much, but she would not like it.

When she slandered Xu Yilian in her belly, Xu Yilian also slandered her in her belly. Xu Yilian looked at Xu Cancan's straight body, but her slender waist twisted and twisted from time to time, looking not serious, with an evil energy! She remembered what her mother had said to her: "You are different from her, you will be a housewife in the future, of course, you must be dignified and rigorous; She's your father's plaything for the saints, but she's just a gadget and not worth taking care of! ”

Thinking of this, Xu Yilian glanced at Xu Cancan, although her face was still as kind as Guanyin, she already had a sense of contempt in her heart, and at the same time, she also had the upper hand psychologically.

Before I knew it, it was not far from the Dingguo Mansion.

Dingguo Gong controls the most elite army of Daliang, and is the cousin of Emperor Yong'an, with royal blood, so he is naturally a high power, and his wife is from the Shu family, a relative of the queen's mother's family, which is the icing on the cake for him. Now it's just the sixth daughter's birthday, and the people who come outside to congratulate her birthday are like flowing water, which can be regarded as a busy traffic.

The mansion of the Dingguo Mansion is very large, it was the prince's mansion given to the prince by Emperor Taihe, covering an extremely wide area, and the scale is still retained after the degraded to the Dingguo Mansion, occupying a whole half of the street.

The streets outside the south gate of the Kokugong Mansion were filled with horse-drawn carriages and horses, leaving almost no gaps. Although Xu Fu set off a while in advance, he was still blocked a distance from the gate, and he couldn't enter or retreat, so he had to wait.

Xu Yilian was still silent, although Xu Cancan sat upright, his eyes quietly glanced at the car window, trying to look at Fu Yuchen through the fine bamboo curtain. She knew that Lu Dao was the host, and Fu Yuchen should be entertaining guests in the mansion, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope and had a little fun for her seemingly endless waiting career.

At this time, what Xu Cancan hated most was that there was no mobile phone and no network, and she began to miss her previous life.

At this time, Fu Yuchen was not entertaining guests in the mansion as Xu Cancan thought, he went to Xihua Gate early in the morning to hand over the sign, hoping to see Emperor Yong'an.

He didn't wait long, Huang Lang, the great eunuch beside Emperor Yong'an, came out and took Fu Yuchen to Chongzheng Palace.

Huang Lang did not follow Fu Yuchen into the Chongzheng Palace, but stood outside the hall and waited.

The curtain in the Chongzheng Hall is low, and although it is early in summer, it is also a little stuffy. After Fu Yuchen entered the hall, he settled down and found that Emperor Yong'an was sitting alone on the royal collapse, describing himself as emaciated, as if he was tired, and only had a pair of eyes staring at Fu Yuchen.

Fu Yuchen lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covered his eyes, and after a little calculation, he stepped forward, knelt under the knees of Emperor Yong'an and hugged Emperor Yong'an's legs, called "uncle", buried his face in Emperor Yong'an's clothes and cried.

The man has tears and does not flick, Emperor Yong'an could not have imagined that Fu Yuchen, who has always been stubborn, could not imagine that the first reaction of Fu Yuchen, who had always been stubborn, when he saw him, was to cry loudly, thinking of his increasingly weak body, thinking of the crown prince who was lingering on the sickbed in the East Palace, stroking Fu Yuchen's somewhat thin back, his heart was also sad, and his eyes were moist, and he said for a while: "Chen'er, you have changed!" ”

Fu Yuchen looked up at him with teary eyes, his thin eyelids turned pink, his phoenix eyes were full of tears, and even his nose was red...... The nephew is...... Wronged! ”

He put his face on Emperor Yong'an's lap and began to cry again.

Emperor Yong'an's pants were soaked with his tears, and his heart was very sad, he raised Fu Yuchen's face, pulled a new handkerchief and rubbed it on his face, and then said: "I have already told your father, you will stay in the capital, I have found a few famous teachers for you, and go to the palace every day to study hard!" ”

Fu Yuchen agreed, got up and stood on one side, no longer crying, but his eyes were red from crying. Emperor Yong'an saw that he was long and jade, he was already a handsome young man, and he was still crying loudly in front of him, he must have been greatly wronged. He planned for him in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Go to the East Palace to see the prince, stay there and accompany him." ”

"Yes!" Fu Yuchen agreed, saluted and turned to leave, but when he walked to the palace gate, he looked back at Emperor Yong'an: "Uncle should also pay attention to the dragon body!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Yong'an bowed slightly, he left.

The eunuchs and palace maids of the entire Chongzheng Palace saw Fu Yuchen's pink eyelids and red eyes, and naturally someone quietly went to Kunning Palace to report to Queen Shu.

At the same time that Fu Yuchen stepped into the East Palace, the carriage of Xu Cancan and his party had already driven into the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, and drove along a blue brick road to the west to Yimen, and then stopped.

After Xu Hanshi, Xu Cancan, Xu Yilian and others got out of the car, the coachman drove the carriage back and went down to the cross-courtyard carport under the guidance of the Dingguo Mansion Xiaofu.

Xu Yipeng had already gone to the front yard, and Xu Han took Xu Yilian and Xu Cancan into the Yimen under the guidance of her mother-in-law.

Looking at the tall and spacious Guogong Mansion hidden by flowers and trees, Xu Cancan had a sense of adventure in his heart. The garden was full of female dependents, and it was very lively. Xu Han's entourage is not conspicuous among the women who are graceful and violet.
