Chapter 25: Playthings

The curtain of the car was quickly pressed, and no matter whether it was Zitang's robe or the water-red Luo skirt, it was all covered behind it.

The coughing of the people, the gaze of the heavens, as if they had seen nothing. Zhou Heshuo closed his mouth, turned around and said casually: "Since there are guests here, then we don't bother too much." ”

"yes, yes, it's better to go back to the car and drink tea and listen to music." The entourage echoed and hurriedly cleared the way for him.

Zhou Heshuo took two steps and glanced to the side again: "Jing Yun? ”

Li Jingyun was still standing by the side of the car, as if he was distracted, and when he heard the shouting, he moved, but he didn't look back: "I won't go, and I will continue to look for people." ”

Zhou Heshuo didn't force it, but smiled: "What is the need to tell them." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

A group of people left in a majestic manner, Li Jingyun stared at the car curtain for a long time, and said impatiently: "Don't you get out of here?" ”

The curtain trembled, and then a small paw reached out, hesitantly grasping the edge of the curtain.

Hua Yue stretched out half of her head, frowned at him, and sniffed: "Why are you here?" ”

Listen, how reasonable it is to ask, it seems that he is the one who came to the wrong place.

Li Jingyun smiled angrily: "If you are not here, how can you know that you are so capable, the plaque of 'Glory and Ancestor' in the house should not be hung in the ancestral hall, it should be hung on your head." ”

Kazuki: "......"

The curtain of the car was lifted wide, and Shen Zhiluo looked at him with a calm face: "Third son." ”

"Yo, Lord Shen." Li Jingyun didn't smile, "If you are not in good health, you will rest more, why do you always worry about other people's maids?" ”

"The third prince also said that she was just a maid." Shen Zhiluo's eyelids raised slightly, "Since you're just a maid, why should you be angry." ”

"Don't talk about a maid, even if it's a dog." Licking his back molars, he hooked his lips, "As long as I raised it, there is no reason to wag my tail at others." ”

Shen Zhiluo was angry, and raised his sleeves to support his forehead: "Is the dog for sale?" ”

"Not for sale." He pulled the person over, leaned down and squeezed her paw and waved at him, "See you back." ”

Yin Huayue couldn't wait to bite him.

Shen Zhiluo still wanted to say that Li Jingyun had already pulled people and walked back, and the water-colored skirt of Huayue was raised, drawing an arc in the air, and flying away with the people.

He looked at it with a complicated expression, thoughtful.

Her wrist was dragged and hurt, stumbling all the way, Hua Yue looked up at the person in front of her, and couldn't help but say, "The slave knows the way." ”

"Which way do you recognize?" Li Jingyun didn't look back, "Is it the way to the grove, or the road to other people's carriages?" ”

"Childe." Hua Yue thought it was funny, "What the slave did did not violate the rules of the General's Mansion. ”

"That's right." He said sarcastically, "After all, the General's Mansion is not shameless enough to write the rules that no one is allowed to do anything in the open." ”

"......" face was a little ugly, Hua Yue opened her mouth and closed it, pursed her lips and lowered her head.

She can see it clearly now, if she wants Li Jingyun to spit out any good words, it is better to dig up ivory in Wangfu's mouth, no matter how ugly the words are, she can only bear it as a slave.

I couldn't hear any noise behind him, but Li Jingyun was even more angry: "What, do you think what the master said is wrong?" ”

"Nope." Hua Yue said obediently, "Childe is what he says." ”

"Okay." He shook off her hand and snorted, "You recognize yourself as a dog?" ”

Looking up at him, Hua Yue said calmly, "Wang." ”

The teeth grinded and creaked, and Li Jingyun barely maintained a smile: "That master said that you are with others, do you recognize it?" ”

Hua Yue folded her hands and bowed respectfully to him: "Slave and maid." ”

Li Jingyun was about to die of anger.

He has lived for twenty years, and he has always made others half angry, and the first time he was so angry with a little girl that he almost didn't stand firm.

Last time, I knew how to quibble, and I also knew that he was better than Shen Zhiluo, but now it's good, the jar is broken, and he looks like he can't do anything about her anyway, and he is angry when he looks at it.

"What are you trying to do?" He was extremely irritable, "There are more than 10 million Jinghua men, you want to marry, some good people choose for you, why do you need to do that shameless deed." ”

Hua Yue also thought about it, and then said, "Just like it." ”

"Happy......" Li Jingyun wiped his face, "Are you blind or what, can you like an embroidered pillow?" In addition to Shen Zhiluo's good-looking skin, where else is it likable? ”

The more Hua Yue said, the more calm she became: "It's enough to look good, it's useless to ask for anything else anyway." ”

There are no beads, rat eyes, and I don't know what to do!

Li Jingyun turned around and left, his steps were very large, and the hem of his clothes was thrown in the wind, but the person behind him followed, breaking his steps, but he didn't say more than half a word.

Returning to the car and sitting down, he raised his eyes to look at the people who followed him, and said coldly: "What are you still doing with me, isn't it okay to go back to find your peerless Lord Shen?" ”

Hua Yue knelt beside him gently, bowed her head and said, "Hui Gongzi, you are about to go to the hunting ground, according to Madame's instructions, you should take this first." ”

The white jade mandarin duck that Zhou Heshuo returned to her last time was re-threaded by her with a red rope and placed in a brocade box properly, and now it is opened and held in front of his eyes, and it is still gorgeous.

It's this thing again.

Li Jingyun looked at it expressionlessly, the ink in his eyes was dark, and after a while, he hooked the silk rope with his fingertips: "I asked you last time, if you don't like it, will you tie it." ”

The mandarin duck shook in front of her eyes, and he looked through the hollowed-out gap above.

Hua Yue bowed her head obediently, there was no emotion in her amber eyes, she stretched out her hands and took the jade pendant, hooked her index finger around his belt, took the silk rope inside, and then passed it through with her thumb, and put a set on the mandarin duck.

"Good jade is a good match, beautiful relatives are blessed, and I wish the son success."

She looked up and bowed again, and the blessing was thoughtful.

Before, he would blush and vomit, went to someone's carriage, and came back with this extremely hypocritical expression, Li Jingyun looked at it with half closed eyes, and his eyes were full of anger.

Hua Yue knelt just right, and was pulled by someone unexpectedly, this time she was skilled, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, give someone an elbow first.

Li Jingyun's reaction was faster than Shen Zhiluo's, she was held down by his hand as soon as she used her force, her wrists were overlapped, and he pinched her with one hand and couldn't move.

"What, it's okay for him to hug you, but he's going to be beaten if he hugs you?" He leaned over and reached out to pinch her chin, "What's the fairness?" ”

Hua Yue tried to struggle, but she gave up after only one try, and let him hold him: "Lord Shen will also be beaten if he does it, it's fair." ”

"Yes." Li Jingyun sneered, "Ye is very happy to look at you, snuggled in someone's arms, and he doesn't move." ”

At that juncture, how to move? Shen Zhiluo suddenly pulled her over, she didn't have time to react, her nose hit his shoulder bone, and tears came out in pain, and when she reacted, Shen Zhiluo had already raised her sleeves to block her.

Zhou Heshuo had seen her, and knew that she was from the General's Mansion, if she still jumped out and showed her face, wouldn't she be a second fool, and even this son would be implicated.

Muttering in her heart, Hua Yue didn't want to argue with him, and said lifelessly: "Yes, the slave is happy." ”

The force of the grip on her wrist tightened suddenly, and the man in front of her was closer to her, so close that she could see the fire dancing in his eyes.

Looking at it twice, Hua Yue felt funny: "As far as the slave is concerned, the slave is just a pawn in front of the car and a plaything in his hand, so why should the son be in a hurry for these little things." ”

"Plaything." Li Jingyun looked cold, "Have you ever seen a person who medicates and feeds playthings?" Real playthings, throw them away when they are broken, and how can they pick them up. ”

Katsuki thought for a while: "Not necessarily, you didn't throw away your treasured saber when it was broken, and you still wiped it from time to time." ”

“……”

was so angry that she was going crazy, Li Jingyun opened her mouth, fished the person back and bit her side neck fiercely, the snow-white fangs against the delicate flesh, and a few nests fell into one bite.

Unexpectedly, Hua Yue exhaled in pain with an "ah" and wanted to retreat, but he grabbed his hand and hugged his shoulders and back.

"You...... Loosen your mouth! She panicked and struggled with all her might, "If you want to kill or chop, you will have a good time, and it will take half an hour to bleed if your neck is broken!" ”

Li Jingyun turned a deaf ear, a pair of dark eyes were gloomy, and he held her neck tightly.

This is a dog, right? Hua Yue cried with a sad face, how could a serious master bite someone's neck, and he was still angry when he bit one, so he changed to the left and continued to bite. The warm and wet breath sprayed on the neck, itching and numb.

She couldn't move, and she couldn't see if her neck was bleeding, and she was so panicked that she couldn't figure out.

"He's just so close to you?" Li Jingyun relieved his mouth, lowered his eyes to look at his masterpiece, and asked casually.

Hua Yue hurriedly shook her head: "No." ”

"How's that going?" Fingertips brushed the tooth marks and gently scraped her earlobes, "You can tell me, where to go to the Gu, you can also try it." ”

Hua Yue felt funny: "Why do you have to care about this, the slave and maid are just subordinates, and their vision may not be superior, saying that Lord Shen is good-looking, and Childe may not be worse than him, looking at the entire Jinghua, the people who admire Childe don't say thousands, and Childe really doesn't have to be vindictive." ”

It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, he showed his fangs again. Thousands of people in Jinghua know that he is good, why is the dog around him blind, he wants to fall in love with other people's beauty, and because others choke with him.

Hua Yue knew at a glance that he was going to bite again, and hurriedly said: "Childe, I'm about to go to the hunting ground, Miss Han is in front, you should be more restrained, don't misunderstand." ”

"Misunderstanding what?" He lifted his eyelids.

"Naturally, I misunderstood that the son was amorous and had an affair with the maids around him." Hua Yue frowned, "It won't do you any good to spread these rumors before you marry a wife." ”

Li Jingyun suddenly realized and nodded: "It makes sense, you can't let people misunderstand." ”

As soon as her heart was relieved, Hua Yue was trying to take a breath, but she heard his next sentence: "If you want to dye it, you can really dye it, and it is better not to be infamous in vain." ”

Yin Huayue: "......"

Before, he was teasing and funny, and she would blush and heartbeat, and be uneasy, but now that he said too much, Hua Yue only thought he was joking, and said helplessly: "Please also ask the son to let the slave and maid have a way to live." ”

"Follow the master to eat and drink spicy food, why is it not a way to live?"

Hua Yue chuckled, lowered her eyes and asked him, "Childe, do you remember how the injury on the slave's back came about?" ”

The presumptuous meaning on his face was subdued a little, Li Jingyun pursed his lips, and was a little irritable: "I was defenseless before, and I won't be in the future." ”

"The slave would prefer not to go back." She struggled for a long time, and finally broke free from his shackles, rubbed her wrist and said, "If the son speaks, there are naturally a lot of people who are willing to accompany you to play on the spot, but there is only one life for the slave and the maid, and the slave and maid are very sorry for their lives, and ask the son to raise his noble hand." ”

With his hands empty and his arms cold, Li Jingyun slowly brushed his sleeves and wondered: "Why is it a scene?" ”

Hua Yue paused, and then laughed: "Then it's okay to change to show goodwill, it's not bad, the son will use whichever word he likes." ”

She straightened the hem of her skirt and bowed her knees to him: "The slave will prepare other things, and when she arrives at the place later, she will ask the son to appreciate his face." ”

Lee Kyung-yoon was silent.

The tooth marks on her neck are very deep, and they don't bleed, but they can't go away for a while, and if you are someone else, you will definitely care about one or two, not to mention how shy, it is inevitable to blush.

But Yin Huayue didn't, she took out the small bronze mirror in the box and looked at it, her expression was very calm, as if she had just been bitten by a dog, and she took a white cloth and wrapped it in it.

Li Jingyun couldn't understand why his dog reacted like this, because he didn't speak clearly enough, or because his posture wasn't intimate enough?

As the sky grew dark and night covered the sky, the prince and his party finally arrived at the hunting ground.

Hua Yue carried a glass lamp to lead the way, and Li Jingyun followed behind, her eyes still full of confusion.

"Some time ago, Mrs. sent you a return gift to Han's Mansion, it was an agate bracelet, if Miss Han mentioned it, you would be perfunctory, don't say you don't know."

"The dining place is upstairs, only you and Miss Han are on it, and the slaves and maids avoid them together, if the son has other instructions, open the window and shout."

Standing on the edge of the stairs, she turned to give him the lamp and said seriously, "Don't leave the table too early." ”

The candle flame shone on the glass, and the light that came out was a little dazzling, Li Jingyun hesitantly stretched out his hand to take it, but the person turned around and left.

The pace is brisk, and there is no nostalgia at all.

Hua Yue hadn't eaten all day, so she finally got a steamed bun in the kitchen, where else could she take care of, and when she finished the task, she hid downstairs and gnawed, holding Bai Shengsheng's dough with both hands, and gnawed quickly and carefully.

Someone sat down next to her and handed her a glass of water.

"Thank you." Hua Yue took it and asked for a drink, and Yu Guang glanced to the side.

It's okay not to look at it, but when she sees her, she doesn't dare to lean the cup anymore, so she stopped her hand awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's you." ”

The little maid who had come to open the door for them in the Han Mansion before was still smiling sweetly, and whispered to her, "Sister, my name is Beizhi." ”

Hua Yue smiled a little weakly: "Is Miss Han any orders?" ”

Bei Zhi shook his head, sighed and smiled: "This is already the happiest time for Miss, I don't want others to disturb me, you and I can hide here and steal for a long time." ”

Hua Yue nodded, holding a glass of water, not drinking, not drinking.

"Sister, don't be afraid." Don't tilt your head and say, "There's no poison in the water." ”

Then who knows if it's true or not, Hua Yue smiled and didn't move.

Bei Zhi pursed his lips, put his hands on his knees, and said in a low voice: "Our young lady is very lucky, she was favored by the eldest princess as soon as she was born, and with the support of the eldest princess, no one dares to bully her." However, she is also quite pitiful, every time the eldest princess's thunderous methods will later make her bear the name of malice. ”

"My sister is the person next to Jingyun Gongzi, and it's too late for the young lady to please her, so how can she think of harming my sister."

Hua Yue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, remembering what Han Shuang said when she came to the East Courtyard last time, and suddenly said, "You mean, your young lady has never been angry with me?" ”

"My sister is the favorite slave of Jingyun Gongzi, and she will also get along with Miss day and night in the future, what is she doing when she is angry with you? At most, it's just a ruthless son. "Don't sigh," Miss and Gongzi Jingyun have known each other for many years, and the relationship between the two was very good before, but later, Gongzi misunderstood some things, so he has been snubbing Miss so far. ”

"If my sister can help, then in the future, the young lady will come to the house, and she will definitely not treat you lightly."

Hua Yue was interested, put the cup down casually, and asked her, "What misunderstanding is there between them?" ”

Bei Zhi looked embarrassed, hesitated for a moment and said: "Specifically, I don't know about a maid, I heard that Jing Yungongzi ate vinegar for no reason, and deliberately snubbed my young lady, no one gave him down the steps, and he never bowed his head." ”

Looking at her with blinking eyes, Beizhi pulled her arm and shook it: "Good sister, you must be willing to help, right?" ”

Hua Yue laughed with her, smiling sweeter than her: "Ken, how do you want me to help?" ”

"It's easy." Bei Zhi said, "What they lack at the moment is to understand each other and be close, my sister will tell me about Jing Yungongzi's preferences and living habits, and then I will think of a way to let Miss prescribe the right medicine." ”

"Do you like it......" Hanazuki stared at her hand and smiled, "It's nothing special, I like to eat candied fruit occasionally." ”

"What about living?" Don't lean her head, "When does Childe usually go out and when does he return home?" ”

"It's different every day."

Bei Zhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's no wonder that on the ninth day of the fourth lunar month, my young lady went to look for it, but the son happened to be not in the house." ”

The ninth day of April? Kazuki raised her eyes silently, and was bumping into the sight of the other branches. Bezhi's eyes were very light, and he stared at her quietly, with a look and a little temptation in his eyes.

With a slight movement in her mind, Hua Yue smiled and said, "You remember, the son never went out that day, and he didn't receive any greetings." ”

Don't be stunned for a moment, and hurriedly clapped his mouth: "It's because I have a bad memory, maybe it's another day." ”

She didn't care about this mistake, but suddenly reached out and rubbed her stomach: "Hey......"

"What's wrong?" Beizhi hurriedly supported her.

"The steamed bun I just ate seems to be a little rancid." She wrinkled her face and bared her teeth and said, "You guard first, and I'll go back when I go." ”

"Okay, sister, slow down." Beeda waved at her.

Hua Yue got up and walked towards the thatched house, and as soon as she left the sight of the person behind her, her face returned to normal.

When she saw Han Shuang before, she really believed that this girl liked Li Jingyun, but now that this little girl was in a few words, she felt that something was wrong.

Whether it's asking about preferences or daily life, it's all normal, but what's wrong with her?

On the ninth day of the fourth month, she was arrested by the prince and taken to Qifeng Tower, Li Jingyun should also be nearby, although she didn't know what he was doing, but her intuition told her that she couldn't say it outside, especially not to a subordinate who didn't have a little callouse on her hands.

Glancing back at the second floor with the lights on, Kazuki touched her chin.

The banquet went smoothly that night, Li Jingyun had no expression on her face when she came out, Hua Yue glanced at Han Shuang and found that she didn't cry, at least the process was not too miserable.

Li Jingyun didn't look interested, glanced at her, returned the glass lamp to her, and then went back to sleep.

The next day is the "opening day", in which the highest ranking person shoots the rabbit in the cage and then everyone can go hunting, but this year is different.

The eldest princess and His Royal Highness the prince went to the hunting ground together, if you talk about dignity and humility, it is naturally the prince who is a head taller, but in terms of the eldest and youngest, it should be the eldest princess first, and the two sides are quite competitive, so that this mountain has not been opened for a long time.

In the end, the eldest princess actually smiled and said: "I heard that the son of the Li family's mansion has excellent archery skills and pierces Yang in a hundred steps, so it is better to let him drive it." ”

This proposal is a bit ridiculous, but what is rare is that Zhou Heshuo also nodded: "Jing Yun, don't thank you for the appreciation of the eldest princess?" ”

Li Jingyun came out of the ranks, and just as she was about to salute, the eldest princess covered her lips and smiled: "You are Shuang'er's future husband, a family, what kind of courtesy, don't hesitate." ”

Zhou Heshuo disdainful: "When did the Li Mansion and the Han Mansion decide on a family affair, why haven't I heard of it in this palace." ”

"The emperor's brother is not well-informed, and the daughter's family knows about this marriage clearly." The eldest princess touched the armor on her tail finger, raised her chin and said, "Shuang'er knows books and etiquette, the son of the Li family is both civil and military, there is no better marriage than this, and the wife of the Li family also nodded." ”

"But how did I hear that Jing Yun has been alone recently, and all the good things in the house have been piled up in that person's room." Zhou Heshuo shook his head, "Marriage is a big event, I still want you to love me well, what's the sweetness of the twisted melon?" ”

Hua Yue stood behind Li Jingyun, and the more she listened, the more cold sweat broke out.

Why are the two officials still quarreling? Forget about the quarrel, the direction is getting more and more crooked, what kind of favorite person does the prince have in the house, why doesn't she know?

"Your Highness." Shen Zhiluo suddenly spoke, "The auspicious time is about to pass." ”

Zhou Heshuo came back to his senses and waved his sleeves: "Jing Yun, let's go." ”

"Yes."

The long arrow with the feather struck the white rabbit in the cage quickly and accurately, and as soon as the fence was opened, the nobles' children shouted and rushed up the hill.

Hanazuki watched with a smile on her face, and handed the back basket and the banyan net to Hachito behind him, so that he could follow him to pick up the prey shot by Childe.

However, Li Jingyun withdrew his bow and said directly: "You go with me." ”

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, and said uncertainly: "Childe, slave and maid?" ”

"Hmm."

"A slave and a maid." She frowned and gestured, "It may not be as strong as Badou." ”

"I want you to go." Li Jingyun looked at her condescendingly, "What, not happy?" ”

Katsuki shook her head, put the banyan net behind her, and smiled at him. But just as I was about to go with him, I felt a chill in the back of my head for no reason.

She subconsciously looked behind her, and saw the dragon flag on the hunting ground, and the eldest princess was sitting in the dragon flag and playing with her fingers, looking at her with a pair of eyes.

"......" chuckled in her heart, and Hua Yue said stiffly, "If the slave and maid say that they are not happy, can they not go now?" ”

Following her line of sight, Li Jingyun saw Shen Zhiluo standing on the sidelines, the man was holding the Qiankun plate, and was looking at the direction of Yin Huayue with deep eyes, as if he was worried and wanted to speak.

"Want to stay and have a private meeting?" With cold eyes, Li Jingyun straightened the net on her shoulders for her, leaned close to her and whispered, "Dream." ”
