Chapter 12: Temptation

In the flower hall, after three rounds of wine, Chen Jingyu was slightly drunk, poured wine, and hesitated: "Second brother, seventh brother, there is something, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Tenth brother, between you and my brothers, is there anything that can't be said clearly?" Chen Jingsui played with the wine cup and said with a smile: "Tenth brother, it doesn't hurt if you say it." ”

Chen Jingyu left his seat and came to the door, looked left and right cautiously, and after confirming that there was no one, he closed the door and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Second brother, seventh brother, when I returned to Beijing and passed through Jiangbei camp, I found that Changfei was also there. ”

"Big brother?" Chen Jingqi blurted out.

He nodded, turned his gaze to Chen Jingsui, and said unhurriedly: "Second brother, seventh brother, you also know that Jiangbei camp has always been the territory of the emperor's uncle, and the eldest brother suddenly sent his cronies there, will there be anything greasy in it?" ”

"Big brother's hand is getting longer and longer, is he going to ......?"

"Seventh brother, be cautious, be careful of misfortune coming out of your mouth."

Hearing this, Chen Jingqi took a sip of wine, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said casually: "I just can't get used to seeing my eldest brother's aggressive appearance." ”

"It's rare for the three of us brothers to get together, don't talk about government affairs, just talk about Fengyue, come, foolish brother toasts you." The three of them drank the wine in the cup at the same time, Chen Jingsui held the wine cup, his eyes glanced back and forth between the two younger brothers, remembered the events in the palace that day, and asked tentatively: "In the past few days, Yan'er has been depressed, I don't know what to do?" Seventh brother, I heard my father-in-law say that you have a very good relationship with Yan'er, why don't you think of a way to make her happy for your foolish brother? ”

Chen Jingqi paused while holding the pot and pouring wine, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, it seems that you have true feelings for Mu Siyan?" He put down the flask, and the old picture flashed in his mind: a year ago, the chrysanthemum viewing party held in Huai'an Mansion.

"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?"

When he came back to his senses, Chen Jingqi was full of embarrassment, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I and my second sister-in-law are only a few faces, and I am not very familiar with each other. ”

Chen Jingsui stroked the wrench with his thumb, half-convinced: "Really?" ”

Taking a sip of wine, Chen Jingqi nodded and smiled: "Brother Su heard that Miss Mu likes kapok the most, second brother, if you really want to make her happy, when the spring of next year begins, you can send someone to plant a few more trees in Yiqing Garden for her to enjoy!" ”

"Kapok?" Chen Jingsui seemed to remember something and muttered to himself.

Looking at the looks of the two brothers, Chen Jingyu felt that the atmosphere was wrong, he thought that Chen Jingqi had other intentions for the new second sister-in-law, and was worried that they would be upset, so he pulled Chen Jingqi's sleeve and shouted: "Second brother, it's not too early, we'll go back to the house first, and we'll bother you another day." ”

Chen Jingsui did not stay long, and personally sent them to the gate of the mansion, he put his hands behind his back, and the carriage gradually moved away.

"He'er, is the prince scattered there?" Mu Siyan cut the candle flame.

He'er spread out the futon and said with a smile: "Miss, what's wrong with you tonight?" Counting just now, this is the fifth time you have asked the prince. She put down the curtain, saw that Mu Siyan didn't squeak, didn't know what her master was thinking, and asked hesitantly: "Miss, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

"It's fine." As soon as the words came out, Mu Siyan regretted it, and she shouted loudly: "He'er." She saw that He'er was startled by the sudden call, and said softly, "No need, sleep peacefully." ”

"No, miss."

Mu Siyan stood in front of the bronze mirror, took off her clothes with the help of He'er, looked at herself reflected in the bronze mirror, frowned slightly, and thought: What's wrong with you today, why do you suddenly care about him? Go home? Why did he say that? Don't......

Family? She looked around, strange and familiar, and sighed in a low voice, once he also said that he would give himself a home, a home that belonged to them, but now, he was trapped in King An's mansion, and he? Thinking of this, Mu Siyan said to herself: "Xiao Yu, are you okay?" ”

Mu Siyan was lying on the bed, a faint fragrance penetrated the tip of her nose, and she recognized it as Chen Jingsui. Lying on his side, in the dark, he saw that the other side was empty, and in a daze, his eyelids closed heavily.

In the quiet, Chen Jingsui was in turmoil, along the corridor, unconsciously, he came to the outside of Yiqing Garden, saw that the candle flame inside had been extinguished, remembered Mu Siyan curled up in the corner to sleep, he suddenly stopped, standing in the courtyard stunned.

The snow became heavier and heavier, and the sparkling snowflakes stained the tips of his eyebrows, gradually melting into beads, and slowly sliding down.

"Who's there, who's there?"
