In the next few days, Li Jingyun was surprised to find that Yin Huayue never talked to him again, and she never had any mistakes, breakfast and lunch, changing clothes and tea, she did it meticulously and properly, and it didn't leak.

He said he wanted to go out, so she went to prepare the car, and he said he wanted to meet the guests, so she prepared refreshments and led the people to retreat away.

Inexplicably, Li Jingyun felt that something was wrong.

When it was time to go to bed at night, he pulled her back, raised his eyes to stare at her drooping eyelids, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." Hua Yue said respectfully, "The slave went to sleep on the couch next to her, and it has been cleaned up." ”

"Why?" He was slightly annoyed, "I didn't say I was going to sleep in another place before." ”

Hua Yue smiled gently, and explained to him very patiently: "The weather is hot, and it is inevitable that the slave and maid will be uncomfortable to squeeze the son to sleep, and besides, sleeping on the bed is no different from sleeping on the couch, in the eyes of outsiders, they all sleep together." ”

Her attitude was so sincere that if he said anything more, it seemed like he was finding fault.

Li Jingyun was not very comfortable, but there seemed to be nothing she could do, her hand was gently taken away by her, he squinted, and saw her holding the quilt to the couch to spread it, and then blew out the candlestick on the table.

The room was darkened, and both of them lay down separately.

Li Jingyun opened his eyes and stared at the bed tent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the fifth prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to set up a banquet for him outside the palace, you go with me." ”

The fifth prince Zhou Hemin, his uncle is the prime minister of the dynasty, but the mother concubine is locked up in the cold palace, and the saint does not favor him very much, but the prince is very close to him because of the recent abolition of the head of the court, and even has to organize the birthday banquet himself.

Hua Yue's eyes were half-closed, and her eyes were filled with the moonlight pouring in from the window, bright and deep. She seemed to be walking for a moment, and then whispered, "Yes." ”

Turning his head sideways, Li Jingyun looked at the shadow on the small couch: "You don't want to deal with the master?" ”

"Childe is worried." There was a shallow smile in her voice, "If the son wants to ask, the slave will answer, and if you don't want to deal with it, where to start." ”

"Then why are you ......" He wanted to say that she had been cold for the past two days, but after thinking about it carefully, she was doing what she had to do every day, not avoiding him, nor deliberately not talking to him.

swallowed the words back, Li Jingyun muttered to himself, how did he become sensitive and suspicious, he felt that the scene of others snubbing himself was what Han Shuang liked to play, he was a big man, there was no need.

"Let's sleep." Li Jingyun turned over and closed her eyes, thinking that she would take this person to meet the world tomorrow, and as soon as she was happy, maybe it would be normal.

The surroundings fell silent again, and Hanazuki also turned over and looked at the moonlit flower shadows on the windowsill.

It is clearly extinguished, like the pattern on the edge of the four-clawed cloud dragon robe.

The birthday banquet of the five princes was held in a hidden villa in Jinghua, and the people who attended the banquet were all powerful people in the court and the young lady. For his cousins, the prince deliberately wore his four-clawed cloud dragon robe and personally stood in the courtyard to greet the visitors.

"Jing Yun, you came just in time." Seeing them from afar, Zhou Heshuo beckoned, "The palace is going to the backyard, you come and greet these adults." ”

What he said had a deep meaning, and he classified Li Jingyun as his "own person" in two words and three words, and the magnates present all laughed when they heard it, Li Jingyun didn't refute it, but only turned his head and said to her: "You go to the flower hall for tea." ”

In this meeting, it was not suitable for a woman to stand next to her after all, so Hua Yue obediently responded and followed the next person in the direction of the flower hall.

The people sitting in the flower hall are all Mrs. Miss, who come to such banquets, most of them are dressed in red and cui, and Yin Huayue's concubine red Luo skirt has attracted attention from all directions when she enters the door.

probably didn't expect someone to bring a concubine to this place, several ladies pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of their mouths, their expressions were unknown, and the young lady with a straight temperament laughed straight out.

"Whose family is this?" Someone pointed to her and asked, "Is it in the wrong place?" ”

There was an inexplicable laugh in the hall, and the lady of the Han family looked at her, her eyes were so cold: "Don't dare to say anything, this is the favorite of the third son of the Li family, for her, the marriage contract is not wanted." That is, to wear the water color temporarily, and when it is corrected, what kind of skirt can't be worn? ”

When a few close ladies heard this, they were not angry: "What kind of immortal should I be, but Er'er, the third son is good anywhere, but he doesn't have a good eye for people." ”

"Yes, you see that this is unruly, and it can't be on the stage at all, where can it compare to Miss Guimen's knowledge of books and etiquette."

The wind direction is certain, and the hall is ridiculous, everyone is a group of people, no one wants to say a few words and be pulled out, so the coaxing is even more open-mouthed, what foxes, self-recommended pillow mats are broken.

As she spoke, she looked at the face of the person at the door, wanting to see how she reacted.

As a result, as if she hadn't heard, she took a sip of the tea handed by her servant, looked at them with a pair of eyes without waves, as if she hadn't heard enough, and raised her chin to signal them to continue.

"......" Mrs. Han choked and glared at her with resentful eyes, and several ladies next to her also frowned.

The hall gradually quieted down, and Hua Yue thought it was funny, and put the teacup and wanted to ask them why they didn't continue, but a person suddenly came out of the crowd and pulled her out.

Subconsciously wanted to break free, but the man's hand was soft and gentle, and he gently pinched her fingertips.

Hua Yue was stunned, raised her eyes and saw an extraordinarily demure face.

"Come with me." She smiled at her, "I won't hurt you." ”

Xu is aura on this person is too friendly, Hua Yue gave up resistance, and followed her all the way to the small garden.

This garden is exquisitely repaired, rockeries and waterfalls, birds and flowers. The lady in front of her sat on the edge of the rockery and smiled at her, although her facial features were not as delicate as the lady next to her, but she had a reassuring charm.

"I am the young lady of the Xu family." Her voice was very soft, like fine silk satin, and a pair of Danfeng eyes looked up, full of kindness, "Changyi mentioned you to me." ”

Xu Changyi's wife?

Kazuki blinked, and a certain scene flashed through her mind.

-I have seen little in the world, how can I be like the two of you, I have a beautiful wife at home, and I am used to seeing beautiful women, so it is naturally not easy to bow my head.

- The third master, they are all brothers, don't poke people's hearts when you speak, the one in my family, is there beauty at all?

Xu Changyi's painful appearance at that time was probably talking about the lady in front of him.

Hua Yue gave her a gift, feeling that Xu Gongzi was a little unfortunate in the blessing, although Mrs. was not a country and a city, but she was not without beauty.

"Don't take it to heart." Mingshu helped her up and patted her on the back gently, "The people in that house just don't have a good thing to say, and they can't see you being favored." ”

Glancing at her gratefully, Hua Yue bowed: "Thank you, madam." ”

"You don't have to call me Madame, just call me Mingshu." She smiled and asked, "What should I call you?" ”

"Yin's Flower Moon."

"Then it's called Flower Moon." She touched her cuffs, turned out a piece of peanut crisp and put it in her hand, "This is my favorite food, made by the nurse in the house, can you taste it?" ”

The mood inexplicably improved, Hua Yue took it and took a bite, and smiled at her: "Xiang." ”

Seeing that she finally smiled, Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Today is a good weather, if people are depressed, they will bear this spring, you are born good-looking, and it will look better if you smile." ”

As she spoke, she squinted at the sunlight in the treetops, the corners of her eyes slightly furrowed.

Hua Yue noticed that she seemed to be older than the son of the Xu family, and most of the wives of other families were three or four years younger than their husbands, looking at the tenderness, but she seemed to have passed her twenties, and there was no innocence of a girl between her eyebrows.

"Mrs. Xu." Someone called in the distance.

Mingshu came back to her senses, got up with a smile and said, "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Kazuki nodded, leaning sideways to make way for her.

Half of the peanut crisp in her mouth was spit out, and Hua Yue looked down at the rest of her hand, feeling very pity. She is wary and will not eat people at will, but Myung-sook is a good girl and she has no malice.

After thinking about it, Hua Yue took out a handkerchief and wrapped the peanut crisp and put it in her arms.

"You're a man." A voice suddenly came from behind the rockery, clear as the wind, "If you don't want to eat it, throw it away, what do you do to eat half and hide half?" ”

Hua Yue was startled, and took two steps back and looked over vigilantly: "Who?" ”

A robe embroidered with mountains and rivers in white rolled out, and the young man with red lips and white teeth looked at her, his eyebrows full of curiosity.

There are a lot of nobles in this courtyard, and one suddenly pops up, and Hua Yue doesn't know what his identity is, the best way is to go first, when nothing happens.

However, as soon as she raised her foot, the young man seemed to know her thoughts, turned sideways to block her way, and looked down at her seriously: "What are you hiding?" ”

Taking a deep breath, Hua Yue spoke obediently: "Greetings to the nobles, the little girl is still in a hurry, I don't know if I can borrow a step?" ”

The boy raised his eyebrows, obviously disdainful of her excuse, but he was extremely well educated, and withdrew to make way for her.

Hanazuki buried her head and left.

There were people greeting people everywhere in the garden, and she walked for a long time, and finally found a pavilion where no one sat down, and as soon as she sat down, she sat down with a person.

"Is your urgency just to sit here?" The young man looked left and right, "Don't you want to deal with people?" ”

Sighing lightly, Hua Yue looked at him puzzled: "There are so many people here, why do you bother with me?" ”

The young man laughed when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "I don't want to embarrass you, or I'm tired of seeing the walking dead in this yard, and I think you're more interesting." ”

Interesting? Hua Yue frowned, thinking that this person was born as Zhou Zheng, why was her brain broken, she was not familiar with him, where did she see the fun?

"Why are you still surnamed Yin?" The boy looked at her sideways, "Don't you want to change one?" ”

Yin is the surname of the previous dynasty, up to the emperor's relatives and relatives, down to the people of Limin, and the Yin family is prosperous, but after the destruction of the Great Wei Dynasty, most of the people who are still eating in the Guimen have changed their surnames to avoid suspicion, and now they can generously say that they are the people of the Yin family, and she may be the only one.

Hua Yue dealt casually: "The surname given by my father and mother is always difficult to change." ”

"Then why don't you be welcomed?" His eyes fell on her concubine-colored skirt, "Just because you're a concubine?" But isn't it even more honorable for the concubine to come to this place? ”

The green tendons on her forehead jumped, and she gritted her back molars and said: "Since the noble person knows that the little girl is someone else's concubine, how can he not know how to avoid it, how can a man talk so much about the people in the boudoir?" ”

The young man was stunned, let out a blank "ah", and then smiled: "I'm used to it, and no one cares about it anyway." ”

It's so bold that it's embarrassing.

Hua Yue was so happy that she couldn't hide from the left and right, so she simply said to him: "I'm a dog slave who spoils other people's good deeds and climbs the master's bed and flies onto the branches in the middle of the night. It is better for the nobleman to stay away, and if he is seen, he may be immersed in the pig cage with me. ”

Startled by her words, the young man opened his mouth wide, and his handsome eyes widened like two quail eggs.

One didn't hold back, Hua Yue really laughed, her eyebrows and eyes crooked with laughter, and her shoulders trembled.

Zhou Hemin really has never seen such a girl, she was angry and her thin eyebrows were upside down, and she almost engraved her impatience on her face, but when she smiled in a blink of an eye, she was like a sky full of stars in her eyes, shiny, smart and lovely.

Inexplicably, he also laughed with her, laughing out two pointed little tiger teeth.

When she saw him laughing, she laughed even harder, laughing and scolding him: "What are you laughing at! ”

He smiled and replied, "Then what are you laughing at?" ”

Isn't that stupid? Hua Yue laughed breathlessly, and shook her head, she thought that she was as shrewd as Zhou Heshuo, and the guests invited must be some smart people, but she didn't expect that such a fool would be included in a group of smart people.

The two of them smiled at each other like this.

After the three pillars of incense, someone came this way, and the boy glanced at it, and leaped over the wall with a laugh that almost convulsed. Hanatsuki stayed where she was, covering her lower abdomen, feeling that her face was about to stiffen.

"This lady." Several of the servants asked her anxiously, "Have you ever seen a man in a moon-white robe?" ”

Touching her heart and sighing a sigh of relief, Hua Yue stopped smiling, she pointed to the direction where the young man left, and said mercilessly: "See, just turned over from here, you are chasing with your bags on both sides, hurry up, you will definitely be able to catch people." ”

The subordinate saluted her gratefully, and immediately outflanked her and arrested her.

Yin Zhangshi, who was deeply hidden and famous, elegantly adjusted the hem of his skirt, slowly pressed back the flush from the smile on his face, and then pinched the hour to return to the flower hall.

As soon as Li Jingyun turned his head after speaking, he saw a familiar head buried behind the pillar in the corridor.

He snorted slightly, walked over, and flicked her head: "I didn't let you go to the flower hall, why did you come here again?" ”

With a pain in her forehead, Hua Yue took half a step back and bent her knees respectfully: "Returning to the son, the slave maid came to find Mrs. Mingshu." ”

"Myeong-sook?" Li Jingyun thought for a moment, and suddenly, "Changyi's wife, what are you looking for her?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, in this courtyard, she and the slave can say a few words."

His eyes moved slightly, and he pursed his lips in displeasure: "Someone is making trouble for you?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, no." She shook her head slightly, "With the blessing of the son, no one will treat the slave or maid like this." ”

Waving his hand impatiently, Li Jingyun said: "Can you say something so hard, what is Hui Gongzi, Hui Gongzi, I don't remember how you stumbled with your grandfather before?" ”

Tilting her head to reminisce, Hua Yue smiled softly: "Returning to Gongzi, that is too presumptuous, so naturally it has to be changed." ”

Helplessly, he collapsed his shoulders, and said as if he was deflated: "I don't blame you, you don't give this posture to you, let's just follow the way we looked on the mountain before, can it be done?" ”

Kazuki looked at him inexplicably.

Li Jingyun pulled her to a corner where no one was on the side, and whispered against her forehead: "Ye spoils you, don't poke your heart, when this banquet is over today, Ye will buy you Jing'an Tang snacks to eat, okay?" ”

There was a lot of noise outside, but this corner was very quiet, and I could clearly hear her heartbeat, again and again, as if jumping in his arms.

Li Jingyun's heart softened, pinched the back of her hand and pecked it, and chuckled: "If you don't speak, you will be treated as a promise." ”

It's not to open your mouth, it's not to open your mouth, Huayue is simply silent, letting him hold it halfway.

I have to say that the third master still has a set of coaxing, no matter how many bastard words he has said, as long as he lowers his body and speaks softly, an ordinary girl, which one must not immediately cry a grievance in his arms?

Huayue also wanted to learn from ordinary girls, but this time she couldn't cry, and it was useless to pinch her thighs.

Fortunately, someone outside soon came to him: "Third son? Where are you, Third Son? ”

Li Jingyun let go of his hand, cursed in a low voice, and then said, "You go to find Mingshu, and you can feel at ease with her." ”

"Yes." Hua Yue should go down and watch him walk out around the stone wall.

Before the time of the meal, tea was being drunk everywhere, and two pots of tea were required for a courtyard in the west alone, and the servants who delivered the tea were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, several silver kettles were piled up at the door of the courtyard, and two maids kept making new tea and pouring it in.

Hua Yue passed by and asked with a smile, "Have you seen Mrs. Mingshu?" ”

The two maids didn't raise their heads and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Nodding clearly, Hua Yue continued to look forward, her sleeve robe brushing over the open silver kettle, bringing a breeze.

The servant who delivered the tea ran over, picked up the freshly filled teapot, and hurried to the west courtyard.

Han Tianyong was discussing with Situ Feng, a disciple under the command of the prince, in the West Courtyard, and the two had different positions, but they had some friendship, so they could still sit and drink tea.

"Xue Ji is gone, and the Praetorian Guard Commander always has to promote individuals." Han Tianyong said, "Who else is more suitable than Zaixia?" ”

Situ Feng laughed when he heard it: "Tianyong, are you really confused or pretending to be confused?" The Praetorian Guard commands such an errand, how can His Highness give you the Han family. ”

"Han Shuang and I are not all the way."

"But both of you are surnamed Han, and you both receive the New Year gift of the eldest princess." Situ Feng poured tea for him and shook his head with a smile, "Don't think about it, right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest princess are your life and death, and the prince didn't drive you out of the guard camp, which can already be regarded as a thin face for the Han family." ”

Han Tian was unwilling to pick up the tea, saluted him, and then drank it together.

When the birthday banquet officially began, Hua Yue ate with Ming Shu in the small courtyard in the south, and after Ming Shu took two sips of wine, she talked more.

"When Changyi mentioned you to me, he said that the third master spoiled you very much." She took Hua Yue's hand and asked with bright eyes, "How does he spoil you?" ”

Hua Yue was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "How else can you spoil, just give Yinzi flowers." ”

With a look of envy in her eyes, Ming Shu sighed twice and took another half glass of wine.

"Is Xu Gongzi bad to you?" Adhering to the principle of courtesy, Hua Yue also asked her.

Mingshu smiled with satisfaction: "He...... It's good. ”

They were a long case where three people were sitting, Hua Yue was sitting in the middle, and before she could praise Xu Changyi for a few words, she heard the person sitting on the other side speak: "What's good?" ”

Turning her head in surprise, Hua Yue saw a young woman wearing a long skirt with black edges on a red background, her eyebrows were like blades, and her lips were dark red.

She looked past her and looked at Mingshu, and said angrily: "I haven't had sex for more than a month, but I can still applaud, and if Ming'er divorces you, you have to send him a plaque of 'Entong Reconstruction' to hang in the ancestral hall of the Xu family." ”

Hua Yue was shocked by her spicy words, and forgot to withdraw her gaze for a while.

The young woman looked at her and pursed her red lips: "I am the wife of the Liu family, and I am also familiar with Mingshu, don't get me wrong." ”

Liujia ...... Yoo Sung-ho's wife? Hua Yue bowed her head to greet her, thinking that this temper was quite interesting.

Mingshu was a little drunk, and she didn't talk back, she only smiled and took her hand to introduce her: "Her name is Chaofeng, and she has never shown mercy when she speaks, don't be caught by her." ”

Chaofeng looked at her with disgust, and waved her hand to let the maid come over and help her down to rest.

Hua Yue wanted to help, but she pulled her back: "Just let her go and rest by herself for a while." ”

"Lady Chaofeng and Mrs. Mingshu have known each other for a long time?" Kazuki couldn't help but ask.

Chao Feng waved his hand: "You just call the name of the boudoir, and it is tiring to listen to a lady." ”

After a pause, he said: "I also have a handkerchief with her, that person grew up with Xu Changyi when he was young, Xu Changyi said that he wanted to marry her when he was five years old, but later, it was dragged alive until she was in her twenties, and she became half an old girl, so she reluctantly carried her into the door." ”

Kazuki was stunned.

Whether it is Da Wei or Da Liang, the girl's family is generally married at sixteen, and she will be gossiped about before her mother-in-law is nineteen, and she has only passed the door in the past ten years, how much grievance has Mingshu suffered?

"She ......" looked left and right, and Hua Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't she just find another husband's house?" ”

Chao Feng was stunned, and there was a touch of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at her, but he was soon suppressed by his hatred for Ming Shu: "She is a dead eye, people gave her a peanut crisp at the age of five, she can remember it for fifteen years, at that time, the Xu family was not developed, and she couldn't catch up with her family background." Later, people soared, and they didn't thank her much. ”

Katsuki sighed when she heard this, and shook her head slightly.

Chao Feng took her hand and said: "I see that you are a delicate and transparent person, I will tell you some things directly, a bunch of them, one is counted as one, it is not a good thing, you take advantage of your youth to give birth to a child for the third master, and then live a life of fine clothes and food, as for what love and love, don't think about it." ”

I didn't think about it.

Hua Yue lowered her eyes, glanced at the sky, and then looked at the gate of the courtyard.

Slaves came and went, and there were people everywhere, and even if there were a few more of them, no one would find out.

Retracting her gaze, she smiled at Ying Chaofeng: "I understand." ”

Chao Feng nodded with satisfaction, and before he could say more, he heard a crisp sound of "popping" from nowhere, followed by the sharp screams of the slave maid, which resounded through half of the villa.
