When Qingru Xu arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, there were already many people gathered in the courtyard. The lord of Pingning loves flowers, especially the peony peony that is rich and gorgeous, at this time it is in the flowering period, the pavilions and rockeries are gorgeous everywhere, and the garden is full of beauty like a fairyland.

Walking along the corridor, Qing Ruxu heard the sound of women playing, and looked up to see a group of young girls in the octagonal pavilion in front of them talking and laughing, and all of them were deliberately dressed, and the brocade clothes were not inferior to the flowers blooming in the garden. Among the women, there was a girl with a scarlet dress, and the sleeves were intricately decorated, and she was even more precious and gorgeous, although the others were not bad, but they were all lost in front of her.

This girl is one of the emperor's favorite princesses, the fourteenth princess.

Qingru Xu saw that she was really here, and she was a little cautious in her heart. Lan Zhou looked at their movements and said, "It seems that they are hiding a hook." ”

The Tibetan hook is a popular folk game for all ages, which is similar to shooting.

The way to play is to pass a silver hook or jade hook in the hands of everyone, the people who participate in the game are divided into two Cao, Cao people shoot where the small hook is hidden, compare the winners and losers, and the one with the highest total shooting rate wins.

The two approached, and the people in the pavilion also saw them, Xue Yun didn't wait for Qing Ru to see the salute, and said: "Is it because of the difference in body bones, that I came so late and fell behind Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

This is a disguised count of her big shelves!

Seeing Xue Yun hiding a knife in her smile, Qing Ruxu looked at the faces of the women, some of them were laughing, some were timid and afraid, and some had nothing to do with themselves, and none of them stood up to relieve her. She secretly complained in her heart, and when the news of the approval came out, she became a sweet spot in the eyes of the sons of the family, but she also became a thorn in the eyes of the nobles of the family!

But Qing Ruxu had long expected that Xue Yun was not at ease, and she greeted the fourteenth princess and the others one by one without changing her face, so she unhurriedly took out the invitation sent by Xue Yun from her sleeve, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and said: "The post sent by the county lord is clearly in the middle of the hour, is it difficult to ...... Did the subordinate get the hour wrong? ”

This "subordinate" is clearly Xue Yun himself, everyone knows what is going on, but Xue Yun didn't expect that the invitation was still in Qing Ruxu's hands, and it was not handed over to the maid who was received by the concierge, at this time she held the evidence, Xue Yun couldn't say anything in front of everyone, although she was unwilling, she could only take a deep breath and said: "This maid should be beaten, she can't do such a thing, I will punish her heavily when I turn back." ”

The fourteenth princess was tired of this kind of boring drama for a long time, and said, "Okay, don't ruin everyone's interest, go on." ”

It was not the first time that the fourteenth princess had seen Qing Ruxu, but she felt that she seemed to be a little different from before, so she looked at her a few times. Qing Ruxu felt her gaze and smiled back gently. The fourteenth princess didn't think that the others were too hostile to her, and nodded slightly.

In fact, Xue Yun didn't expect the fourteenth princess to come, this kind of spring banquet, there will be more flowers, and the princesses will hold such a small banquet in the palace from time to time, there is nothing new at all, but when the nobles hold such a banquet, out of respect, they will still send posts to the princesses of the same age in the palace. I don't know if the fourteenth princess is bored in the palace and will come.

She opened her mouth, Qing Ruxu turned the page on the matter of being late, Xue Yun failed to embarrass Qing Ruxu, the silver teeth creaked, if the gaze can be turned into substance, I am afraid that Qing Ruxu will have to suffer from Ling Chi.

Someone asked Qing Ruxu: "Why didn't your second girl come?" ”

"The second sister is unwell, so she is resting at home." Compared with Qing Ruxu, Qing Ruchu is very popular with women.

Hearing her say this, everyone looked at each other, thinking that it would be better to avoid embarrassment, if Qing was here, it would be difficult for them to say that her sister was not. No one mentions the game at the moment.,You and I talk about today's list.。

"Today's list, I don't know who can occupy these three tripods?"

"No matter who it is, it's not something that a thief can dream of......"

"No, I didn't expect ,......"

Xue Yun said: "Yes, a good thief shouldn't think about the champion...... Hey, I just laughed off my big teeth! She said this, her chin lifted slightly, and she glanced at Qing Ruxu.

Qing Ruxu didn't seem to hear anything, and concentrated on fiddling with a black tree on the edge of the pavilion.

Xue Yun punched the cotton, extremely unhappy, and said more violently about Jiang Rin, "Our emperor is really benevolent, and now the bandits can also participate in the scientific examination!" ”

Qing Ruxu turned her head to look at her, but she still didn't make a sound, but there were small waves in her eyes, revealing mockery.

Xue Yun frowned slightly in confusion, and saw the fourteenth princess squinting her eyes on the side and said, "The emperor's decision is also something that you can discuss?" ”

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was a royal princess, and she had a majesty, coupled with her sharp tone, which frightened all the women, and she hurriedly got up to confess. Xue Yun knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "The courtiers are open-mouthed, please forgive the princess." ”

The fourteenth princess didn't say anything more, and waved her hand absentmindedly, "The palace is going to change clothes." ”

"Yes, princess, please." Xue Yun ridiculed Luoqing five times if she couldn't make it, glanced at her fiercely, and hurriedly led the princess to the back in person.

Everyone was reprimanded by the princess, and they no longer talked about Qing Ruxu, and went to enjoy the flowers in groups. The sound of the voice faintly reached Qing Ruxu's ears. "I heard that the county lord begged the county lord to invite Ruan in the palace to worship, and said that he would draw a picture of spring appreciation in the middle of the time!"

"Really? That's great, I heard that Ruan's worship skills are outstanding, and the woman in the painting is as smart as a real person. I don't know if this spring picture is so that we all enter the painting? ”

"I don't know ...... that"

Qing Ruxu couldn't hear this anymore, and muttered in her heart, Ruan Xianfeng really came...... But don't let her bump into something she shouldn't know.

Walking slowly all the way, Qing Ruxu paid attention to the surrounding movements while admiring the flowers, and planned to go back to the octagonal pavilion after a slight turn. It was also a coincidence that when she passed by a corner, she suddenly heard a voice say: "You go and ask Ruan Xianfeng to come to the garden, and let him wait for me at the rockery in the southeast corner." ”

The voice was the fourteenth princess, Qing Ruxu hurriedly held her breath and retreated, turned around and went to another path. Lan Zhou and Shizhou quietly followed behind her and didn't dare to speak, until they walked out of the distance, they were relieved, Qing Ruxu looked up at the two of them, and saw that their eyes revealed a look of fear.

Of course, it is not a good thing to know such a secret.

"Okay, let's just don't know."

"Yes." The two girls were very nervous, knowing the princess's secrets, maybe they would be killed.

As soon as the three of them returned to the garden and sat down, a maidservant girl came to Qing Ruxu and said, "Miss Qing, the fourteenth princess has something to say to you privately, please come over." ”

Qing Ruxu was stunned.

The fourteenth princess is so busy with Ruan Meiqin in private, how could she ask her to talk, it won't be that the princess knows that she has eavesdropped on her secret.

Qing Ruxu looked at the maidservant in front of her, and became suspicious, so she carefully observed her expression.

In the past, Qingru Xu had a serious illness after his parents, and since then he has lost his hearing, and he can no longer hear the spring rain moisturizing things, and the insects and birds murmuring. She can't read or write, and observing words and colors is her only way to communicate with the outside world.

Although this servant girl tried her best to show her composure, the eagerness that occasionally flashed between her eyebrows was still captured by Qing Ruxu.

She asked, as she got up; "Are you a maidservant in the house? Why didn't I see you? "This is in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, Xue Yun's territory, Qing Ruxu was originally cautious, but now that there is the matter of the fourteenth princess, she must be even more cautious, so as not to capsize in the gutter.

"The slave and maid were preparing the feast in the back, and did not come into the garden, so you did not see the slave and maid."

Qing Ruxu nodded, but she was vigilant but did not show it, she guessed that the maid was lying, and would not really go with her to the place where the fourteenth princess had a tryst, so she pretended not to know anything and followed the maid forward, and the direction was the southeast corner of the mansion.

Sure enough, when there was still some distance from the rockery in the southeast corner, the maid pointed ahead and said, "The princess is waiting for you over there, and the slave and maid have other things, so I won't go with you." ”

Qing Ruxu glanced at her carefully and said, "In that case, I'll go by myself, you can go." ”

"Yes." The servant girl bowed and turned away.

Qing Ruxu looked at her back and squinted her eyes, and said to Lan Zhou: "You go and follow her, see where she goes, if you go out of the house, you will ask someone to detain her." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go." Lan Zhou knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went.

Shizhou said nervously: "Girl, what should we do now?" Do you really want to go to the princess? ”

"Of course not, if we break through the princess's private affairs, it is estimated that it will be finished on the spot......"

In her previous life, she didn't come to the Spring Festival Appreciation Banquet, but she knew that something big had happened at this Spring Appreciation Banquet!

The fourteenth princess killed someone by mistake at the spring banquet, the girl's family was afraid of offending the princess, and didn't want to make a big deal for a concubine, and wanted to make a big deal small, but after all, this incident happened in Xuanping Houfu, and there were many people who knew it.

During this period, the painter in the palace offended the emperor somehow, was kicked out of the palace, and died soon after being depressed. Later, the fourteenth princess shaved her hair and became a sister-in-law.

No one connected the two things at the time. Looking at it now, Qing Ruxu still doesn't understand something.

It must have been the fourteenth princess and Ruan Meiqin's private affair that was broken, the princess deliberately or by mistake killed the girl, in order to save Ruan Meiqin's life, she bit to death without saying the reason, so that her reputation lost the emperor's favor. Ruan Meiqin couldn't help but bear the crime of harming people's lives for the princess. As a result, after the emperor learned the truth, not only did he not forgive the princess, but also executed Ruan Mai Chin. The princess desperately pleaded, and Ruan Jianghan had some thin faces in the palace, and finally saved her life. But after Ruan Meiqin left the palace, she died soon after her heart disease was difficult to treat, and the fourteenth princess was disheartened and shaved her hair and became a sister-in-law.

Qingru promised to caress her forehead, and this matter in her previous life had nothing to do with herself, why did she become someone else's substitute ghost as soon as she came? She didn't remember who the dead concubine was, but now it seemed that someone deliberately instructed her to break the princess's private affairs.

"Girl, why don't we hurry up?"
