Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Mandarin Duck Spectrum

"Aunt Yan, look, the pear blossoms over there are blooming, I'll go and break a branch, the hairpin is the best on the head!"

In the afternoon, in King Kang's mansion, with the sound of a wheelchair, Gongyifei and Xuanyuan Qi, together with Mrs. Yan, rarely went out of the courtyard together and came to the backyard flower garden of the palace.

The poisoning of the Shangyuan Festival, although it was not a big deal, but Liu Chu was not at ease after all, and locked Xuanyuan Qi in Fengju Pavilion for more than a month, and Yecheng was only regarded as King Kang who was sick again, at this time in previous years, or at the beginning of the year, or at the end of the year, Xuanyuan Qi often "fell ill for several months".

Although Gongyi Fei was imprisoned, he only suffered a very light skin injury, but after more than ten days, he recovered very well, and he did not even leave a single scar. It's just that Mrs. Yan's situation is not so optimistic, because she was punished too heavily in the prison and invaded by the cold in the prison, Wang Xiaoliang was helpless, and she had no way to return to heaven, and she almost destroyed a pair of good legs of Mrs. Yan.

Seeing Xuanyuan Qi running away, Mrs. Yan turned her head and glanced at Gongyifei, who also understood what she meant, and slowly pushed her to the pavilion next to the cloister.

"Childe, just for my legs, you don't have to hold a grudge against King Kang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this."

Madame Yan said, looking at the frowning Gongyi Scarlet who was sitting down beside her with a worried expression. Since the day she came back from the prison, she has never seen Gongyi say a word to Xuanyuan Qi and Xuanyuan Xuan, who came to visit them.

Hearing this, Gongyi's frowning eyebrows relaxed slightly, raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and after a while, he let out a long sigh.

"It's not the two of them, let alone the emperor, it's me who is too cowardly, it's the Han Kingdom that is too weak......"

Restless, resentful, is it regret? Is it hate? In short, due to mixed emotions, Gongyifei's right hand clenched into a fist and slammed it on the stone table in front of him. Although this beat, Gongyi didn't say a word, and she didn't even frown, but this made Mrs. Yan even more distressed in her eyes.

Gongyi is the Han Kingdom, but he has really given up too much.

"Aunt Yan, what kind of person do you think Prince Xuanyuan is?" Gongyi put his hand in his sleeve and asked suddenly.

Asking like this, Mrs. Yan pondered for a moment, and glanced at the pear blossoms that were still picking up pear blossoms in the distance, and she didn't know which good branch to break.

"The crown prince has been praised by the emperor recently, and the ministers also praised the prince for his decisiveness, which is a blessing for the society."

I don't know why, Mrs. Yan recalled the Xuanyuan Jue she had seen at the banquet when she first came to Xuanguo, knowing that the emperor deliberately made things difficult and wanted to take the opportunity to make fun of Gongyi, but she stepped forward against the holy will.

It's just that a few days ago, Xuanyuan Jue came to visit on order, and Mrs. Yan felt that there was always a chill in the young man's eyes.

Why did his mood change so much?

Here, after listening to Mrs. Yan's answer, Gongyi's slackened eyebrows were locked again, I don't know why, he felt that today was a little unusual in his heart, this indescribable ominous feeling, made his head start to ache faintly again.

"Sister Scarlet! Do you think Aunt Yan is so beautiful? ”

Because Xuanyuan Qi folded a few pear blossoms and ran over, he directly pinned the most beautiful one in his hand to Mrs. Yan's ear, so no one noticed the fleeting pain on Gongyi's face.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking." Gongyi said, his eyebrows lowered, and he barely squeezed out a smile.

However, it was this smile that gave Xuanyuan Qi room for further intimacy, and she put the remaining pear blossom hairpin in her hand to her ear, and took two hairpins and put them on the two horn buns of Gongyi.

"Haha, Sister Scarlet is so beautiful!" Although he knew that it was the heartfelt praise of the child in front of him, but carefully thinking in his mind that he was wearing a white dress today, with two tall pear blossoms on his head, Gongyi felt that he might be more like a rabbit with ears pricked up than a beauty.

Walking lightly, he heard the laughter of his prince from a long distance, and Liu came over with a plate of pastries and fruits in his hand, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

"Out of the uncle! Out of the uncle! Do you think Aunt Yan is very beautiful today? ”

Seeing that Liu Chu came to deliver the pastries and fruits in person, although Xuanyuan Qi was still young, he also roughly knew Liu Chu's thoughts, and he was just a beautiful woman who came to see him in the name of sending snacks.

Yes, when Liu Chu put down the pastry and fruit and turned around and was about to leave, Xuanyuan Qi stepped on the stone bench next to the table, and at the same time reached out and grabbed Liu Chu's sleeve.

Because he was worried that Xuanyuan Qi would be careless and his body would fall off the stone bench if he was unstable, Liu Chu stopped when he saw Xuanyuan Qi's restraint, and waited obediently in place, asking Xuanyuan Qi to give him the same hairpin with a pear flower.

Intentionally or unintentionally, it is not so much a coincidence, it is better to say that it is determined by heaven, Xuanyuan Qi gave Mrs. Yan a pear blossom on the left ear hairpin, but it was for Liu to put the hairpin on the right ear. The two of them are sitting and standing, and they look like they are a perfect match.

"Sister Scarlet, Sister Scarlet, why don't you just let Aunt Yan give Uncle as a bride? Ah Shi he was also happy to ......"

Innocent fairy tales, no taboos. Between Liu Chu and Mrs. Yan, there is already such a feeling, but because of their identity, they have never said it clearly. Now, being broken by Xuanyuan Qi like this, the two adults who have reached the age are still like two children, blushing with shame.

Mrs. Yan's cheeks were stained with flowing clouds, I don't know if she was shocked, she couldn't help but let out a "ouch" in her mouth, turned down the wide sleeves woven with flowing cloud lines, and covered her mouth with only three points of her palm, her eyes were crooked, and she covered her mouth and secretly snickered under her sleeves.

And Liu Chu, his hands were crossed in his sleeves again, his head was deeply bowed, almost buried behind a pair of arms, but in the end, the head and tail were hidden, and only a little bit of the tips of the ears on both sides were exposed, ruddy, like the red and tender flesh of the cherries on the cherry cheese.

The appearance of these two people is really rare to see, Gongyi looked at Mrs. Yan on the left, looked at Liu Chu on the right, pursed her thin lips, and laughed secretly.

"Ah Qi, do you know what it means to mess up the mandarin duck spectrum?"

Laughing, Gongyi poured a cup of tea, held it in his hand, and looked at the red bean dice who was still standing on the stone bench and pulling his sleeves while asking.

This little man is still young, I'm afraid I don't know what I mean, right?

Sure enough, as he expected, Xuanyuan Qi couldn't understand what it meant to be a "chaotic mandarin duck spectrum", after all, Mrs. Xie had never talked about this in class.

Out of curiosity, Xuanyuan Qi tilted his head, blinked, and instead climbed directly onto the stone table, half-knelt there, put his two hands on Liu Chu's sleeve, and pressed down desperately.

"Out of the uncle, out of the uncle, what is the chaotic mandarin duck spectrum? What is the Mandarin Duck Spectrum? Why does Sister Scarlet say that I am a random mandarin duck score? ”

After a few questions, Xuanyuan Qi directly threw it to Liu Chu, who was still buried behind his sleeve at the moment. However, now that he has reached this step, how can Liu Chu explain it? Therefore, even if Xuanyuan Qi tried hard to press his hand, he still insisted to the end and must not show his face.

It was also at this time, under the stalemate between the two parties, Liu Shi rushed in from the front yard. Without waiting for Xuanyuan Qi to ask what was going on with the "chaotic mandarin duck spectrum", Liu Shi first hurriedly made a bow to the Gongyi Fei and others in front of him from left to right according to the number of etiquette.

"The emperor sent Gonggong Dan to invite the prince and the princess to go to the palace for a gathering."

As soon as the words fell, the faces were shocked. But the palace has arrived in front of the gate of the palace, and An Neng will not obey the decree?

Nervous, Liu Chu hugged Xuanyuan Qi off the stone table and brought her and Gongyi to Gonggong Dan.

"Don't worry, the emperor is happy today, and he happened to meet an envoy from the Han Kingdom, so he asked me to bring the princess and the prince into the palace for a banquet, and I will come back before the time."

Accepting a piece of gold cake from Liu and tucking it in his sleeve, Gonggong Dan smiled, his fat lower lip turned out, twice as long as his upper lip, and the flesh on his cheeks shrugged along with his two curved eyes, and the eye sockets on both sides were squeezed out of several superimposed seams by his extremely kind smile.

The palace lights are thousands of flowers, and the stars are phosphorus. No matter what time it is, the Yecheng Weiyang Hall is always brightly lit, bright as day, bright and red, so that people can't open their eyes.

Gongyi Fei and Xuanyuan Qi entered the palace around the time of Shenshi. When he came on the road, Gongyi Fei had heard from Gonggong Dan that the Han State had sent envoys, and he had been here for some time, but he had only heard the news now, and he was afraid that it was because of what happened in Lingfeng Temple a month ago, so he had been hiding it, which was really ridiculous......

When he arrived at the palace, Gongyi Fei also saw the envoy from his homeland, and originally wanted to have a good conversation with the envoy, but unexpectedly, Gonggong Dan and a group of palace people have been following him and Xuanyuan Qi together with the envoy to the imperial garden, and they will not leave for half a moment.

Therefore, apart from repeatedly praising the beautiful scenery in the imperial garden, Gongyi Fei had nothing to say to the envoys, even a simple greeting to the imperial brother who was far away in the Han Kingdom.

As the hours passed, Gongyi finally reached the unitary time. Unexpectedly, the emperor actually ordered someone to set up a banquet in the Weiyang Palace.

At this moment, because of her status as the princess of the Han Kingdom, Gongyi Fei could only sit at the same seat as Xuanyuan Qi, and the envoy was sitting on his right-hand side.

This envoy Gongyi Fei didn't know him, and he also knew his identity now, and now in the Han Kingdom, I am afraid that except for the imperial brother and those ministers who participated in the discussion and let him come as a princess, few people will know.

Yes, Gongyi Fei had no choice but to tilt his head, and when most of the people were focused on the dancing girl in the center of the hall, he lowered his voice and asked the question he had been remembering for a long time by toasting each other with a glass of wine.

"The courtier's sister is not good, I don't know how the royal brother is doing recently? Fish and geese are hard to come, but I miss them so much. ”

The envoy looked as usual, and returned a glass of wine to Gongyi, and for a long time, he only heard a response without any temperature.

"The emperor's holy body is healthy, and I also ask the princess to remember it."

Sure enough, I don't know who he is, no matter who he is, the emperor's brother is healthy, it is enough.

The feast is about to end, and the last copper bead with the word "Hai" written on the copper plate has also fallen, and it is finally time to go back, however, it is also at this time that the ninety-five honor on the seat is in front of the ministers, announcing a "happy event" that makes the public ceremony frightened.

Marriage, he and Xuanyuan Qi.

The oath is made today, and the ministers are witnesses, waiting for King Kang to complete the ceremony.

There is absolutely no room for refusal.

"Smack!" The celadon cup in Gongyifei's hand fell to the ground and was not broken, but the unfinished wine was spilled on the ground.

When the envoy's brows were heard about the marriage, he frowned slightly, and looked at Gongyi Fei inexplicably, and then looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was already dozing off next to Gongyi Fei.

In the congratulatory voices of the ministers, Xuanyuan Xuan, who was also silent with Gongyifei, was also seated.

He knew that his father would never let go of the official rites and return to the Han Kingdom, since he came as a princess, he must stay for the marriage between the two countries.

can't let more others know his true identity, so "marrying" him, the prince who knows his details, is a good choice. The conversation that night, and what he said about asking for a marriage, was no joke.

On the day he was released from the prison, Xuanyuan went to beg his father. Originally, he thought that he would never ask for this enemy again.

However, he didn't expect that although the marriage was given, the person who was given it was Xuanyuan Qi.

With the sparse congratulations, Xuanyuan watched the emperor personally write a marriage letter for Xuanyuan Qi and handed it over to the envoys of the Han State.

All this, Xuanyuan Qi, who was sleeping on the desk with his body crooked, did not know.

For some reason, Xuanyuan looked at this little bean like this, but the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and in the end, it became a warm and warm smile.

Anyway, it's the best choice.
