221, surprise
Jiang Yan looked at her remotely, "It's not all for you, but there are most of the reasons." I've thought about it for a long time since you said that, or I've decided to do it. ”
Qiao Siwan lowered her head slightly, and the bottom of her dark eyes seemed to have a thin shadow like a blood-stained blade, which was extremely faint. Press your heart, and when you look back, you have changed to tenderness like water, tactful like Yingying: "In this way, I want to thank the prince for speaking out for me." ”
Jiang Yan's expression froze for a moment, and he took a deep breath and said, "Qiao Siwan, I will ascend the throne one day, you are a clever person, you should be clear about this." ”
Qiao Siwan smiled softly and said remotely: "I am the princess of Mingjun, whether Your Highness will uphold the throne in the future or not, it will not be my business......"
Jiang Yan interrupted her: "Who said that! I became the emperor, you can naturally not be this princess of Mingjun again! ”
Qiao Siwan smiled: "Your Highness is crazy/demonic, I am the princess of Mingjun, and this will not change at any time." ”
Jiang Yan's face suddenly turned cold, and the cold light in his eyes became more and more cold: "Qiao Siwan, your role is to say that everything you do in the paddock is playing tricks on me?" ”
Qiao Siwan smiled lightly, and her pretty face was illuminated by the withered sunlight: "Naturally not." ”
Her attitude was like a worried cat playing/playing with mice, which made Jiang Yan unpredictable but thought that her heart was even more unbearable, and she was about to grab her hand and ask after all, but she heard the noise of people outside.
Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "Your Highness, now is not the time to say these words, do you have any requests, or pick a more suitable day." ”
Jiang Yan was shocked, and the lead opened the door and walked out. Looking at his back, Qiao Siwan's smile was cold for a moment, and then returned to normal.
In the courtyard inside, Lin Yuanxin was talking to the eldest princess, and there were many other people behind her, among which one was led by a young plain woman was Zhou Zhijun's daughter Jiang Mo/Li, who Shicai saw in the house, and the other two-year-old boy who was held by the milk/mother was Sheng Er.
As soon as Sheng Er saw Qiao Siwan, she opened her eyes wide and opened her hands to hug her, Qiao Siwan walked up to hug him with a smile, and he leaned on her arms and rubbed her with a tender/tender bean/tofu face: "Aunt/aunt." ”
Jiang Mo/Li looked at Qiao Siwan with curious eyes, and casually tightened the hand of the young woman on the side.
Lin Yuanxin smiled and said to Qiao Siwan: "This is Miss Zhilan, the younger sister of the crown princess. ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and nodded to the young and beautiful girl, secretly thinking in her heart: It seems that it is true that this Miss Zhilan is going to marry/enter the prince's mansion immediately, but I don't know if she ran to the prince's mansion with her eyebrows burning as soon as her eldest sister died, whether she was a little more anxious.
Qiao Siwan patted Sheng Er's back, and he said softly, "Auntie, my sister robbed me of what you gave me." ”
Lin Yuanxin hurriedly said: "Sheng'er, don't talk nonsense. ”
Sheng Er obediently closed her mouth, but her eyes were shining with tears. Jiang Qinli over there squeezed the sugar purse in her hand, and her face showed a very angry look.
Jiang Yan said sharply: "You two, you take care of playing all day long, it's really not decent." ”
The eldest princess smiled: "What's the matter, how old is Sheng'er, you ask him to teach, don't forget, you yourself were often beaten by your father for being naughty when you were a child!" ”
Sheng Er said innocently: "Look? ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "Your father is saying that let Sheng Er read more books in the future, travel less with escorts, and learn more." ”
Sheng Er's black grape-like eyes flickered, and she said complacently: "Auntie, I can recite poems!" ”
Jiang Yan said with interest: "How old are you, you can blow the conch skin." ”
Who knew that Sheng'er had a small mouth, and sure enough, he said: "I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere." The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much. ”
The eldest princess and Jiang Yan both smiled in surprise, and Zhou Zhilan also smiled.
Sheng Er looked back and smiled: "Father, is Sheng Er right on your back?" ”
Jiang Yan smiled: "Yes, yes, memorize well!" ”
The eldest princess smiled: "Sheng Er is so clever! It's just the time when the flowers are in full bloom, what birds, flowers! Look at this child, the milk voice is milky, and it sounds really beautiful to read out! ”
Qiao Siwan looked at Sheng Er, her demeanor became more and more gentle, Sheng Er was only two and a half years old, although he learned to speak very late, but he can now recognize some words, and can memorize more than 20 poems, she looked at Lin Yuanxin with a smile and said: "Cousin really taught my son very well." ”
Lin Yuanxin smiled and didn't speak, and Xiaozhu next to him said: "Yes, our little highness is a very clever child in the world, and he remembers it very quickly, after silently listening to Concubine Lin read it three or five times, he remembered it himself, read a sentence, let him follow a sentence, and he will be." ”
Zhou Zhilan glanced at Jiang Jasmine beside her and said with a smile: "It seems that Concubine Lin is really good at teaching children, which is admirable." ”
Jiang Julie's small face really showed admiration and jealousy, and there was also a childish hostility and disobedience towards Lin Yuanxin in her eyes. Qiao Siwan saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but shake her head, this Miss Zhou, I'm afraid it's not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The eldest princess smiled: "Prince, Sheng Er has a good back, should he be rewarded with something?" ”
Jiang Yan was staring at Qiao Siwan, who was holding Sheng'er, and everyone else thought he was looking at Sheng'er, and when he heard the eldest princess speak, he came back to his senses and said with a far-fetched smile: ", should be rewarded!" I have a good set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone in my study, and I will send it to Sheng'er when I turn around. ”
Lin Yuanxin smiled: "It's a child, where can I use it." ”
The eldest princess looked at Sheng Er with thoughtful eyes, "I'll use it soon." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan's expression changed suddenly, he glanced at Sheng Er, and then at the eldest princess, and the joy in his heart faded suddenly.
Lin Yuanxin said gently: "Your Highness, there are many other guests waiting in front, we can't lose our dignity." ”
Jiang Yan returned to normal at this time, and involuntarily glanced back at Sheng'er in Qiao Siwan's arms, turned around and walked quickly.
Qiao Siwan looked at the eldest princess whose face was sinking like water, her heart became more and more fresh, before she went in by herself, what were the eldest princess and Jiang Yan talking about after all?
Two months after the funeral, everything in Kyoto has returned to normal, and the Kyoto breeze in October is everywhere, and the branches are shaking the willows. The group of chariots and horses left the Yanwang Mansion and went straight to a manor outside Kyoto.
Qiao Siwan turned her head and lifted the curtain to look out of the window, only to see that the loess was exposed outside the window, and ten thousand and a half yellow willow silks were sinking down like green algae.
This manor is a belongings in Lin Yuanxin's name, Jiang Yan knows about it, but he rarely asks.
When he arrived at the garden, someone naturally led Qiao Siwan in, and when she entered the gate of the inner courtyard, Xiaozhu came to welcome her in person. Qiao Siwan walked all the way down the winding corridor, and suddenly thought that even the shadow under her feet had become crooked and long. Entering the inner room, Lin Yuanxin was already there, Qiao Siwan walked in, caught a glimpse of Lin Yuanxin in his hand was a book of chronicles, and couldn't help laughing: "When did my cousin read this kind of book for porridge?" ”
Lin Yuanxin's eyes crossed a trace of subtle complexity, and he only lowered his head to glance at Ji Xing, but Xu Yu put the book away and said with a smile: "It's a pastime when there is a gap." ”
"What's the matter with calling me this time?" Xiaozhu on the side brought tea up, Qiao Siwan took it and took a sip gently.
"I've found the person you asked me to help you find last time, but I don't know what you're for." Lin Yuanxin asked.
When Qiao Siwan heard this, her hand paused, and the teacup was slowly put down, but instead of replying, she asked, "What about people?" ”
As they spoke, the maids had already presented a few plates of pastries on the table in the flower hall.
Lin Yuanxin said: "I'm already waiting inside, it's just that she is from a low background, and she is not suitable for meetings, if you are looking for a maid ring, I will send her over, but if you do the rest of the use, you must report what I do." ”
Qiao Siwan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the rest, let me see if it's suitable." ”
Lin Yuanxin nodded to Xiaozhu on the side, and Xiaozhu instructed the rest of the people to draw a curtain in front of their eyes, and separated a screen, so that people could lead the woman in.
Hongyu stood very outside, and at this time also took a step back, hiding her clues, and when she caught a glimpse of the woman who entered, she was taken aback.
The woman entered and saluted, and then naturally her mother asked her to raise her head, through the screen and the beaded curtain, Qiao Siwan could see her whole appearance. The woman only had a loose black bun on her head at random, and a few golden hairpins, her appearance was indescribably beautiful, but there was an indissequential atmosphere of wind and dust on her body.
Qiao Siwan sat quietly, and I don't know how long it took before she heard Lin Yuanxin say word by word: "How ...... it?"
Just looking at the appearance and posture, there are indeed four or five points of similarity.
Qiao Siwan's gaze turned a few times, and stopped at the woman inside with deep meaning.
Lin Yuanxin said: "I have spent a lot of effort to find this, although there are many women in the world, but it is really impossible to find the same as you, this one, once extremely valuable, is...... It's a little more gaudy. She developed in the land of fireworks, which is also inevitable. ”
The mother inside said, "How to teach you politeness, have you forgotten?" Don't say hello to Zhu Zi yet. ”
The woman hurriedly took a few steps forward, pinched the sweaty handkerchief in her hand, and stammered, "Wait for Zhu Zi." Although the words are not smooth, the timbre of the zither is like a stirring of the people's strings. The fingers holding the handkerchief trembled faintly, and it could be seen that the complexion of the hand was as white as jade.
Qiao Siwan couldn't help but be slightly surprised and looked at Lin Yuanxin.
Two months after the funeral, everything in Kyoto has returned to normal, and the Kyoto breeze in October is everywhere, and the branches are shaking the willows. The group of chariots and horses left the Yanwang Mansion and went straight to a manor outside Kyoto.
Qiao Siwan turned her head and lifted the curtain to look out of the window, only to see that the loess was exposed outside the window, and ten thousand and a half yellow willow silks were sinking down like green algae.
