Chapter 9 Dragon Boat Festival
The process of going to the water to watch the dragon boat race is already familiar to the little county owner. Her father has always doted on her, and naturally he has booked a room for her in Panyue Tower, the best place to watch dragon boat racing.
Panyue Tower stands on the edge of the Ba River, after two dynasties, now owned by the imperial court, so the people who watch the dragon boat race in the building are the nobles on the top floor of Yanliang.
There were two wide wings, and she was the only one. She couldn't help but regret it a little, Zhen Ning didn't get out of the palace so easily, she should have asked Qingrou or Li Yi to come out together.
The guards of the king of Yongning were all guarding the door, the gongs and drums downstairs were noisy, and no one spoke to the little county lord, but it was very quiet in the wing. The dragon boat race hadn't started yet, she just changed from being bored at home to being bored outside.
In the corridor outside the wing, someone suddenly passed by, "...... In fact, I don't have to think like this in this matter, according to the clear statement......"
Mingxu?
In fact, even if you don't hear his name, the little county lord can tell that it is his voice. After all, how can people who have even dreamed of it a few times not be familiar with it.
She was overjoyed in her heart, and was about to rush out of the wing, but was stopped by the guards of the king of Yongning County.
"County Lord, the county prince has instructed that if you want to leave the wing, your subordinates will immediately bring you back to the palace of Yongning County."
The little county lord will not be afraid, and still has to break out, "I don't go out of Panyue Tower, I just met an acquaintance and wanted to go and say hello." ”
The two guards stopped talking, but they still didn't let them go. Seeing that Ke Mingxu was about to enter the wing, Jinghu became anxious, "Brother Ke Shi! ”
Full of neutrality. Ke Mingxu quickly turned around, and together with him, there was also the prince beside him.
Seeing the prince here, Jinghu was still a little strange, but nothing mattered to let the guards let her out.
She was clearly stopped by the guards, and Ke Mingxu could certainly understand. It seemed that he had said something to the prince, and the prince walked towards her with a smile.
has grown to such a big size, and the little county lord is still very good at fox and fake tiger power, "See, this is the prince, the prince is coming to me, why don't you let me out quickly." ”
The prince is usually not joking, but at this time he said: "Jingling, how do you know that I came to ask them to let you out, in fact, I asked them to watch you more strictly, so I came here." ”
Jinghu also knew where his weakness was, "If Brother Prince doesn't ask them to let me out today, when I can go out, the first thing I will do is to go to the East Palace to find Sister Guannan to complain and tell her to ignore you." ”
The prince's concubine, Xu Guannan, is also her cousin, and the prince's childhood sweetheart, who is most loved by him. And the crown princess's surname is Jiang, and she is the daughter of the Jiang family of the Marquis of Suchang in Northeast China.
It's not that Jinghu doesn't like her, but she just thinks she looks a little cold, just like the ice and snow in the Northeast that she hasn't been to, and she can't stand it when she thinks about it. It's no wonder that the relationship between the prince and her is not very good.
When she said this, the prince's face changed slightly. Although Jinghu is small, he also knows how to observe words and feelings. She hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the East Palace for a long time, could it be that something happened to Sister Wannan?
Or Ke Mingxu relieved her, "The prince shouldn't have trouble with the little county lord." I saw that the little county lord was going out alone today, and I couldn't help but be a little bored. ”
"There is nothing to do today, just to relax, it is better to invite the little county lord to travel with you."
The prince nodded with a calm face, and went to the front wing room first.
The prince agreed, and the guards of the king of Yongning County naturally didn't dare to say anything, so they withdrew their hands and let the little county lord go out. She didn't forget to turn around and make a face at them.
She is clamoring to go out, and nine times out of ten times she will succeed, but these people don't have a long memory.
However, she didn't have so much heart to embarrass these two guards, as soon as she went out, she first glanced at Ke Mingxu's waist with her eyes.
He was wearing a lake blue patch today, and there was no embroidery, only the original wave pattern of the fabric. Today's weather is hot, and such a color makes people feel very refreshed when they see it.
Seeing the purse she made, she was relieved, and talked to Ke Mingxu with a smile, "Brother Ke Shi really counts when he speaks, and he is a righteous gentleman." ”
She had just looked at his waist, and he knew what she was looking for.
smiled and said, "Even if I didn't promise the little county lord, I would wear this purse." This purse is indeed very beautiful, and it seems to have Du Ruo added to it, which smells very good. ”
"Brother Ke Shi is amazing. I only put a little bit of it. ”
It was added temporarily when she wanted to give this purse to Ke Mingxu. However, it is not Du Ruo petals, but a kind of incense sold in the jade furnace, called "Mountain People".
"The people of the mountains are full of love." Although she doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, she won't even hear this sentence in "Nine Songs".
When she was in school, she hated learning Chu Fu the most. But she felt that this sentence was very flattering to Ke Mingxu.
Ke Mingxu praised her female popularity, and she should also exchange gifts and praise Ke Mingxu.
"Brother Ke's orchids are really good, the gardener in my house saw it and said that it was a rare Song Jinxuanmei, where did Brother Ke get it?"
Ke Mingxu said: "In the early years, I camped out with my teacher in the wilderness, and I met by chance in the mountains, so I brought it back. After raising it for a few years, it was willing to bloom and split a few plants. ”
"I see." The little county lord nodded, indicating that she understood, "Then why is this orchid called Song Jinxuanmei?" ”
He replied to her: "The plum petal orchid is a kind of orchid, and the person who cultivated this orchid is rumored to have the name 'Song Jinxuan', so it is named." ”
"There is also a green calyx in the plum blossom, which is slightly similar in color to this orchid."
Jinghu hurriedly said: "I've seen green calyx plums, and there are many green calyx plums in the Mei Zhentang where Qing's gentle mother lives. ”
Ke Mingxu's eyes darkened slightly, "Yes, inside and outside Meizhen Hall, almost all the plum blossoms in the world have been collected." It is indeed a good place to enjoy plum blossoms in winter. ”
It seems that every time he mentions the Dingguo Mansion, he will be a little unhappy.
Jing Hu naturally didn't mention it, "How could Brother Ke Shi be with Brother Prince today, hasn't he always been very busy?" ”
Jinghu usually enters the palace, and rarely sees him.
"I was about to talk to the county lord about this." Ke Mingxu stopped, "Before I was admitted to the Jinshi, I had been a subordinate official of the East Palace for a period of time, so I had some friendship with the prince. ”
"There was an accident in the East Palace last year, and the original Concubine Xu made a mistake and has been demoted to Nanyuan. Didn't the little county lord hear about it? Don't mention this matter in front of the prince in the future. ”
Jinghu really hadn't heard of it.
"I went to Jiangnan last year, stayed at my grandmother's house for a long time, and only came back a few years ago, so I haven't heard of it."
However, it was not good to ask this matter further, so he covered his mouth with his hand and said vaguely: "Then I will never say it again." ”
Ke Mingxu smiled gently, and entered the room where the prince was with her.
