Chapter 14 Whose Jasper Flute 1

A banquet ended with Jiang Jiuer and others rushing in and leaving. Yingxian said to Situ Su with a smile: "I heard that these three people have recently flaunted their power in the Xinwang Mansion and regarded themselves as guests in the palace. Princess, you can be considered to give them a little color today. Situ Su said: "I don't dare to assert that these people have ill intentions, but the longer such idle people stay in the Xinwang Mansion, the more the imperial brother will be misled by them." I just hope that he will wake up sooner or later. Yingxian thought: This Jiang Jiu'er relied on random interpretation of the letter to enter the palace, if you know this section, you will know that this person probably has other plans. I want to think about it, but I don't say much at the moment.

In the mornings of the past few days, he was still practicing swords with Ji Linghuang by the Huanying Pool. He was still dutiful to his duties, but when he taught swordsmanship, he was more reticent than ever. Under the blue sky, apart from the sound of weapons fighting, only the sound of the wind was left. After practicing the sword this day, Yingxian couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Master Ji, is there something new happening in the Xinwang Mansion?" ”

Ji Linghuang replied: "As usual, His Highness has not had much restraint. ”

"Then I don't know what Ji Gongzi thinks of these three people?"

Ji Linghuang sneered: "The villain has the ambition, what is there to say?" ”

"But I think that this Jiang Jiu'er, whose origin is unknown, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just wanting to invite pets."

"Oh, how so?"

Yingxian bit her lip, took a deep breath and said, "Because of the letter that His Royal Highness King Xin got with you, Jiang Jiu'er is simply making it up. ”

Ji Ling was surprised: "Make it up? Are you sure? ”

Yingxian nodded vigorously and said, "I'm sure, it's because I can understand." He said quite cowardly: "As for why I can understand it, I don't know it either." Maybe it's because I've learned this language from someone before, and then I ......"

"Tell me, then, what is the content of this letter?"

After only a moment's hesitation, Yingxian explained what was stated in the letter. Ji Linghuang couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and said to himself: "I see. No wonder the yellow-haired man we rescued was frightened and anxious at the time, as if something earth-shattering had happened. How could it be the father-son family letter that Jiang Jiu'er said. Hehe, ridiculous, ridiculous. He shook his head vigorously as he spoke.

Yingxian breathed a sigh of relief: "Ji Gongzi doesn't need to blame himself. However, since you know that Jiang Jiu'er has ill intentions, I don't know how to deal with it in the future? ”

Ji Linghuang frowned and said: "The second prince has always eaten soft rather than hard, and no one can control his temperament. If he had told him so, he would have refused to admit his mistake, and perhaps he would have doted on the three of them even more. This matter can only be done in another way. When he said this, he clenched his fists and bent down, saluted Yingxian, and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Ying Xian hurriedly said: "Childe doesn't have to be polite. I just hope that you can come up with some way for His Highness to see the faces of these people as soon as possible. ”

Ji Linghuang was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled slightly, straight as a clear cloud, and Qingquan said: "It's not that there is no idea." I'll think about it when I get back. After saying that, he looked at the sky, and said goodbye to Yingxian.

Ying Xian saw his back gradually disappearing, the birds whispered in his ears, and a thought lingered in his mind: I don't know what way Ji Gongzi will come up with to deal with these three people?

*****

A few days later, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yingxian woke up early in the morning and felt that the weather was very hot. At noon, the princess's mansion was sprinkled with realgar water inside and out, and calamus and mugwort tied with red thread were hung on the lintel and in the hall. Everyone was given another sachet. Listening to what Qingyan said, the sachet contains cinnabar, realgar, angelica, Chuanqiong, Xinyi, Huoxiang and other incense medicines, wrapped in silk, and then wrapped with five-colored silk threads, which can ward off evil spirits and prevent diseases. The shape of the sachet is different for each person. Yingxian chose a pink peach-shaped one and helped Qingyan pick a red pomegranate. At a glance, the orchid dress was white and Tilian, the Huiyi was a yellow gourd, and Xin Ting chose the last one, so he took a light green round one. There are tassels hanging from the bottom, and the smell is pleasant.

In the afternoon, Lan Sheng and Hui Yi followed Situ Su to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Yingxian stayed in the house and had nothing to do, and played "Qingshan Yin" for a while. can't help but think: I don't know what this Ji Gongzi and the second prince are doing at the moment? was so restless until the evening, but he didn't expect Situ Xi to come to the door by himself.

Situ Xi in front of him, wearing a soft gauze tufted scarf, wearing a stone blue leaf pattern woven gold cloud shoulder robe, a waist tied with a civil and military double spike, tied with a light blue square sheng-shaped sachet, the jade tree is in the wind, and his spirit is radiant. When they met, they asked, "Do you want to go to the river with me?" ”

Yingxian subconsciously looked behind Situ Xi and asked, "Your Highness, are you alone?" ”

"yes, who else do you think?"

Ying Xian choked: "No...... It's nothing. ”

Situ Xi looked at Yingxian and said, "Then go back to the house and change into good clothes." Look at you now, dressed like a girl. I'll wait for you. ”

Yingxian returned to her room. After picking from the suitcase for a long time, I finally chose a pale yellow peony pattern sprinkled with gold and put it on. The color is not too glamorous, but also brilliant and pretty. A long hairpin of a butterfly with a silk inlaid treasure is inserted between the buns, and the red jade dripping bead earrings are delicate and dazzling. After a little powder, I saw that the eyebrows of the person in the mirror were like new willows, and his face was glowing, like a peach blossom in the rain, so he got up and went out of the house.

When Situ Xi saw Yingxian again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "That's right." Then he led Yingxian out of the princess's mansion. Carriages and horses are ready outside the door. Yingxian got into the car and was nervous all the way. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the car to stop. Yingxian lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped out of the car, but there was an open scene in front of her.

Under the sky stained by the colorful clouds, the blue river is like a wide silk ribbon, and hundreds of boats compete for the current on the water surface, embracing piles of silver snow, and pearls and jade splashes. The people on both sides of the strait formed a human wall, shouting and cheering for the dragon boat teams among the lush trees. The noise was boiling, and a ** surged into the sky. In the sky, the slanting sun is like a poem of the late Tang Dynasty, poignant and sensitive, as if it is about to bleed. The sunset spreads across the river, and the people and boats are plated with roses.

Yingxian knows that this river is east-west, it is the longest river in Yuguo, and this section of Xijian is called Muyang River. But on weekdays, I only see it silently winding through the city, how can I have ever witnessed such a spectacular scene today? At the moment, I watched the dragon boat race with great interest. The first two boats, one with a green flag at the bow and the other with a blue flag, have thrown off the dragon boat behind. However, the two teams were extremely competitive, and they took a narrow lead in turn, but they were never more than a bow apart. The team members on the boat all tried their best. In the end, the Green Flag somehow lost its strength at a critical juncture, and was overtaken by the Blue Flag in one fell swoop and hit the line first. Thunderous cheers broke out on the blue flag boat, and the people on the shore also applauded and congratulated. Looking at the green flag again, the team members collapsed on the boat due to physical exhaustion.

After watching this game, Situ Xi said: "Every year the Dragon Boat Festival is these activities, and it's boring. Yingxian asked, "Then what new tricks does Your Highness have?" Situ Xi smiled, did not answer, and took Yingxian's hand back to the carriage. After walking for a while, he stopped at another pier. This section of the river is much narrower, and a painting boat is moored on the shore. There is a lantern hanging on the left and right of the hatch, a brocade curtain and bead curtain, and the pane is finely carved. The boatman and the maid in the boat saw Situ Xi and hurriedly saluted, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

Yingxian and Situ Xi sat in the boat and walked along the river. The painting boat is as wide and deep as a house, and mahogany tables and stools have been placed in the center. The table is full of wine and food, and a chrysanthemum celadon tray is placed with one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven zongzi! There are also reed leaf wraps, there are also hoop leaf wraps, and there are also hoop leaf wraps, with different sizes and sharp rounds. Yingxian couldn't cry or laugh: "Where can I eat so much!" ”

Situ Xi said: "Who let you finish eating?" These are all zongzi from all over the north and south. The bread is very different. You can taste every bite. With that, the maid came to serve. A head of zongzi was pitifully stripped of his clothes, revealing his true body. The two of them eat a piece of red beans, dates, and bean paste, and salty beef, egg yolks, and peanuts. The other is a white dumpling, which is also quite flavorful when eaten with sugar.

"Which flavor do you think is the best?" Situ Xi wiped his mouth and asked.

Yingxian replied: "The beef and egg yolk are good." ”

Situ Xi was quite surprised when he heard this, and said, "How do I remember that you used to like dates?" ”

"Really? No way. I don't think zongzi should be sweet. ”

Situ Xi sighed: "Xijian's zongzi have always been sweet. ”

Yingxian shook his head and said, "I'm too tired." It's still salty. ”

Situ Xi's face darkened: "Who said that salty zongzi is a freak." ”

Yingxian also raised his voice: "Sweet zongzi is a variant, a variant!" ”

"Salty zongzi is so oily, it's better to eat meat directly."

"Then tell me, if you want to eat something sweet, which candy snack is not better than zongzi?"

“……”

The maid here saw that the two of them were fighting for the sweet and salty rice dumplings, and they couldn't cry or laugh. Hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, girl, look, Tianxin Tower!" ”

The two of them relented. Looking at the place pointed by the maid, you will see an antique pavilion. The building is more than ten zhang high, the cross ridge rests on the top of the mountain, the green tile Zhu Ying, the eaves tooth is empty, stands in the north of the river, and is particularly solemn and brilliant under the background of the clouds. Yingxian thought: "It turns out that this is the place where the horse became famous at a young age." It's really magnificent. In a blink of an eye, he saw Situ Xi's face full of sentimentality.

The boat continued westward. The lush vegetation on both sides of the river, or there are temples and small pagodas hidden in them, emerge spires, revealing their magnificent appearance under the dress of water waves, green shade and afterglow. There were fewer pedestrians along the river, and waterfowl were returning to their nests, and by the time the boat crossed a three-arched stone bridge, it was completely dark. Outside the window is a blue and overcast river, and in the dim haze, you can only detect the traces of the flow of water waves by feeling. The wind whined, but the sound of the boatman's oars became clearer. In the evening breeze, there was a sound, and a sound was like a silk thread passing through the eardrum. The second prince also stopped talking, and looked into the distance, as if listening to the secret words of the river. Ying Xian seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats.

Suddenly, without warning, the surface of the river was suddenly torn apart. The lights suddenly lit up in front of them, converging into a bright golden stream, and there were wisps of warblers singing and swallowing accompanied by the faint sound of silk and bamboo. Ying Xian was surprised: What is this place?
