"Hahaha, Sister Huanhuan......" They walked to the observation deck on the embankment and sat down, Mo Xueying finally stopped being alone, but went back and stood silently on the edge with the maid she accompanied without saying a word.

After a while, she almost had enough rest, and the soft sedan chair carried Ren Shu back, she changed into a new dress, and Ren Yuan and Ren Xiu's two sisters followed by her, with very interesting expressions on their faces.

The Deng family is used to seeing the intrigue of women in the palace, these girls are just fledglings, and they don't pay attention to it at all, I just hope that none of these people will use that method on His Royal Highness.

"Sister Shu is back!" The early moon beckons in the evening.

"Well, I'm back."

Ren Shu got off the sedan chair, and the place where she fell no longer hurts, but she walked a little slowly.

"Sister Shu, why did you go to the plum garden first?" The first moon asked in the evening.

"How did Her Royal Highness know that the courtiers were going to the Plum Garden?" Ren Shu was puzzled and glanced at the two younger sisters beside her.

This matter, apart from them, Mo Xueying shouldn't know about it.

"Isn't it?" The early moon poked his cheeks at night.

"Miss Mo said, you have to go to the plum garden to wait for His Royal Highness the Prince."

Deng Shi didn't say a word, and there was a direct showdown.

Ren Shu lowered her head to hide her face, and waited for a while before raising her head: "Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, the courtiers want to go to the plum garden to see Lamei."

As for whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can see the courtiers, now, the courtiers don't count on it. ”

She figured it out.

Originally, she was going to be the princess of the family, and she herself was also very competitive, thinking that she would rely on her talent, appearance and status, and there was no reason why she was not the first choice, but after she came, she realized that she couldn't even rely on her own people.

That's it now, if you really enter the palace in the future, you don't know what kind of black-eyed blue you will fight.

She glanced at Ren Yuan behind her, who retreated in a panic and almost slipped on the ice.

"Let's go quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must be in a hurry to wait for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ren Yuan said, walking past Mo Xueying, who was silent.

…… The path leads to the garden, where the plum blossoms bloom just right.

Chu Yongwang didn't think he was waiting for someone, but while enjoying the plum blossoms, he relaxed and relaxed.

The people who came with him were also quiet, but a few girls talked quietly around him, and did not disturb him.

"Sister Jia, can you tell us about the border pass?" Zhu Yu of the military department Shangshu family walked around her.

"Okay, it's rare that anyone is interested."

Jia Wuyou likes to talk about these, she sat frankly in the pavilion of the plum garden, swept the long ponytail, and said, "When I was a child, I followed my father to the handover of Shouling Prefecture and Yushan Prefecture, over there, it is the northwestern part of the Dagao Dynasty, thousands of miles of ice and snow, and the mountains have no end in sight......" Chu Yongwang looked far away from their topic and looked at the sky.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......" Jia Jingjing proposed in a low voice, "Isn't it appropriate for the girls to leave you to dry?" ”

"It's fine."

Chu Yongwang said, "I'm happy to be quiet." ”

"Yes."

Jia Jingjing didn't say much.

"Father-in-law Jia."

Chu Yongwang looked at him, "It's over here in a while, you will follow me to see my father, today...... It's rare to feel a little touch. ”

Jia Jingjing nodded and said "yes".

Saying that, Deng came to the garden with Chu Yuewan in his arms, and Chu Yongwang immediately came to the spirit and got up: "Yuning is happy now?" ”

"Happy~" The smile of the early moon night warmed people's hearts.

Chu Yongwang looked at her, and then turned his head to notice the three sisters Ren Shu behind him.

Ren Shu didn't look back, and walked straight to a plum plant.

"The old news is that Lan Zhiyuan is the name of the girl."

Chu Yongwang had also heard of her fame in Shangshuguan, and there was no reason not to treat her politely, "Seeing this plum blossom, I don't know what kind of mood it is?" Ren Shu was dead just now, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to talk, so he turned around and saluted and replied: "The courtier just came, but when she saw that this sick plum was different from the others, she came over, and she didn't have time to reach any state of mind." ”

Chu Yongwang was a little surprised when she was ready: "This plum garden was planted by my father, and my father doesn't like sick plums, why do you say that one is a sick plum?" ”

"A nursery was planted in the courtier's house, and a few sick plums were planted."

Ren Shu said, "So, just recognize it a little." ”

She raised her hand and pointed her tender fingertips on the branches of the plum tree: "The posture of the normally healthy plum blossom should be 'straight, upright, and dense', while the sick plum is 'curved, straight, and sparse'.

This one was not a sick plum, but somehow, it began to become dying on this branch, and it was twilight.

It is different from the other plums in the surrounding area. ”

Chu Yongwang looked at it according to what she said, and it was indeed so.

"The literati and scholars all regard the sick plum as the beauty, because of its strange curled branches, so there is sometimes a comparison of 'dragon'."

Ren Shu said and looked at him, "But the courtiers think that they can't be compared like this, Panlong has its own arrogant bones, how can it be said that it is sick?" Her words attracted the attention of many people, and Chu Yongwang also showed a rare smile with interest.

Although Chu Yuewan didn't understand the meaning, at first glance, it sounded so literary and profound.

Mo Xueying, who had not spoken for a long time, also turned her face away and did not intervene in this topic.

Chu Yongwang walked in front of the sick Mei and stood side by side with Ren Shu, only half a step away.

The breeze came, the fine snow on the branches drifted in front of him, and a layer of crystal hung on Chu Yongwang's eyelashes.

Ren Shu glanced over inadvertently, and was stunned for a while.

It wasn't until Chu Yongwang turned back that she hurriedly lowered her eyes and avoided her gaze.

Seeing that the atmosphere of these two people was very good, Mo Xueying remembered the words of the early moon, turned her back and clenched her fingers depressedly.

The prince's brother has his own business, and he will not disturb him in the evening of the first moon, led by Deng to walk around in the plum garden, Deng takes a few plums down, and inserts them on her clothes, Lou Huanhuan also comes to play with her in the snow and enjoy the plums, and looks back at Chu Yongwang from time to time.

"I heard."

Lou Huanhuan whispered in the ear of Chu Yuewan, "The candidate for the crown princess has been decided, and His Royal Highness the crown prince only needs to decide who is in the side room." ”

The Deng family helped Chu Yuewan to hold the plum blossom branch, and his eyes were secretly white.

Is this also said casually? Even if it's really decided, what does it have to do with you?

"Really?" I don't know if the first moon is late.

"If I'm elected, nine times out of ten it's a side room."

Lou Huanhuan squatted in the snowdrift and said, "My grandfather said that our family has a big business, but we don't have any actual power, and we can't help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince much."

Among the individuals you see now, Sister Mo's father, Lord Taiwei, is the highest official position, and Sister Jia over there is the highest title, and her father and several uncles are also important members of the border guards.

And Sister Ren's father, Zuo Xiang, is the most powerful. ”

It was the first time I had heard someone talk about this, and I was very curious.

"Xiao Wanwan guess, who will the crown princess be?" Lou Huanhuan asked her.

"Whoever the prince's brother likes, he is."

Chu Yuewan's face was serious.

didn't connect what Lou Huanhuan just said with the selection of concubines at all.

Lou Huanhuan shrugged.

"Sister Huanhuan likes Brother Prince?" Chu Yuewan looked at her.

Just now, this sister has been eating and playing with her, and she doesn't seem to be very close to the prince's brother, and she almost forgot that she came to choose a concubine in the early moon.

Lou Huanhuan smiled and looked at Chu Yongwang with his face on his lean.

"I like it."

Her eyes reflected the bright azure, "There are some people...... All it takes is one glance and you can't look down on anyone else. ”

Chu Yuewan lay on her lap and pursed her lips and snickered.

"Xiao Wanwan~" Lou Huanhuan poked her face, "Don't laugh at others, they are also yellow flower girls, and it was not easy to have the backbone and courage to say such things." ”

"Don't laugh, don't laugh."

The first moon covered her face in the evening.

Lou Huanhuan no longer looked at the two people in front of the plum blossoms, and lowered his head and muttered: "Even if it is a side room...... What does it matter? ”

In front of the plum tree, Ren Shu was still waiting for Chu Yongwang to speak.

Chu Yongwang finally blinked, and turned his head to look at the other plum trees: "That girl thinks that the sick plum in this garden."

To go or to stay? I thought that the next thing would be poetry and songs, but this sentence thrown out by Chu Yongwang is actually full of traps.

Ren Shu suddenly didn't dare to answer this question.

The plum planted by the emperor, even if he is sick, he can't say that he won't stay, but just now he accidentally linked the metaphor of "dragon" and sick plum, saying that the two cannot be compared, then there is no meaning to stay.

In any case, at least give a justification for itself.

"This ...... Naturally, the disease has its own style. ”

Ren Shu suddenly felt a thorn in her back, "This plant is curled and thin, proud of the world, and it is unique." ”
