Chapter 125: Spying on the Heart
Wei Xiyue tried very hard to dig herself up from the warm bed, but was pushed back by Liu.
"Let my mother see your hands!" Liu said.
Wei Xiyue pulled up the clothes of the injured hand, a crumpled epidermis, and after Liu finished examining it, he helped Wei Xiyue pull down his sleeves.
"The hands are fine, and the fingers don't have chilblains." Wei Xiyue hugged Liu's arm and leaned on her shoulder.
"The snow has been up to my knees for the past two days, but Miss is still staying in the house and not going out."
Xiaohuan took the charcoal out of the carbon frame and put it into the brazier one by one with iron tongs, and a stream of sparks came out.
The weather turned rainy and sunny, and Wei Xiyue sent a letter to Huo Zeshen, inviting him to come out to enjoy the plum blossoms.
There is a red plum blossom forest in the three miles outside the capital, and the plum blossoms there are in full bloom after the heavy snow every year.
Wei Xiyue arrived at the red plum blossom forest in a carriage, and before she got off the car, she smelled the crisp fragrance of plum blossoms, which made people refresh.
The red plum blossoms are swaying, blooming in the cold wind, quietly blooming in the mountains, slopes, and garden paths.
"Miss, the flowers in this red plum blossom forest are too beautiful, this one can be picked, get some back to make plum blossom shortbread!"
Xiaohuan carried the basket into the depths of the plum blossom forest with great interest and began to pick plum blossoms, plum blossoms are edible and ornamental, and the innermost small flowers are the edible plum blossom trees.
Wei Xiyue walked under a plum tree, reached out and picked a plum blossom, and put it in the palm of her hand to observe it carefully.
The petals seemed to be scattered in unison, and there was some unmelted snow on the pale yellow center in the middle, close to the tip of the nose, and the cold smell made Wei Xiyue a little nostalgic.
"Did you come so early, or am I late?" Huo Zeshen rode a horse and shouted to Wei Xiyue in the distance.
Immediately dismounted, and after tying the horse, Chaowei Xiyue was, "Come out to me today just to enjoy the plum blossoms?" ”
"The third prince didn't come?" Wei Xiyue looked behind Huo Zeshen.
"I didn't tell the third brother, besides, he still has to discuss with the ministers and his father today, so he must not be free." Huo Zeshen raised his eyes to look at the plum blossoms on the tree.
"Go inside, the plum blossoms will look better." Wei Xiyue turned around and walked towards the red plum blossom forest.
Huo Zeshen followed closely, patting the snow of plum blossoms on the trees from time to time, splashing everywhere.
After walking for a long time, the skirt has been soaked with snow and the corners of the clothes, and the chill on the soles of the feet has also risen.
The two stopped in the pavilion to rest, and Wei Xiyue took out the two wine gourds hanging from her waist.
"Drink?"
Wei Xiyue pulled out the lid of the gourd, a rich aroma of wine wafted out, she raised the gourd and raised her head to take a sip, the fiery feeling extended from her throat to her stomach, and the whole person was much more comfortable.
Huo Zeshen couldn't wait to take the wine gourd, picked up the gourd and raised his head and drank a few sips, the chill on his body was driven away a few points, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth, and said, "When will you give me the big baby you promised me?" How long have you been owed. ”
Wei Xiyue's drinking action suddenly froze, and she forgot about the big baby she promised Huo Zeshen.
"Ahem, ahem, your big baby isn't in my hands right now." Wei Xiyue looked sideways at the blooming plum blossoms and said casually.
"What?" Huo Zeshen was confused.
"Where?"
"In Liu Ming's hands." Wei Xiyue pushed Wei Liuming out and carried the black pot.
Huo Zeshen didn't make a fuss, he was quiet for a while, drinking a little wine, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Wei Xiyue smelled the smell of adultery, and then asked, "Huo Zeshen, tell me honestly, do you like Liu Ming?" ”
"I like her?" Huo Zeshen was stumped by the question.
Wei Xiyue said again: "My third uncle is going to choose a family affair for Liu Ming." ”
As soon as Wei Xiyue's voice fell, Huo Zeshen was like blowing up, "No, how old is she, what kind of relatives do you choose!" ”
"Oh? The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, if the third uncle really chooses a good family for Liu Ming, it is also a good choice, after all, the daughter's family will find a good family to marry sooner or later. ”
"No way!" Huo Zeshen slammed the wine gourd on the stone table, the wine gourd shattered, and all the wine spilled out, dripping on the ground, and the cuffs were also wet.
Tempting Huo Zeshen's attitude, Wei Xiyue found that he was more or less interesting to Wei Liuming, it seems that Wei Liuming and Huo Zeshen still have a glimmer of hope, at least they did not disappoint Wei Liuming.
Wei Xiyue said happily, "Why are you interested in my third sister?" If that's the case, then you have to hurry up, after all, you also know that my third uncle is an anxious person, once you help Liu Ming choose someone, it will be a sure thing. ”
"I ...... Whoever is interesting, I will leave first if I have something to do. Huo Zeshen flew out of the plum blossom forest at the fastest speed and disappeared into Wei Xiyue's field of vision.
After Wei Xiyue returned to the Wei Mansion, she informed Wei Liuming of the matter.
Wei Liuming lowered her head, her face flushed, "What else did the eleventh prince say?" ”
"He didn't say it clearly, but he generally liked you a little, but it was a little difficult to be a main room as you."
Wei Xiyue covered the soup woman with both hands, and Xiaohuan also brought a pot of charcoal to dry the corners of Wei Xiyue's wet skirt.
The identity problem has always been one of the reasons that plague Wei Liuming, although she is also the daughter of the Wei family, but her father is inactive, has no background, and marrying a royal child cannot play a certain auxiliary role, and the queen mother will definitely not agree to this marriage.
Wei Liuming's expression was gloomy, "Big sister, I naturally know that my identity is too radical and I can't help the eleventh prince, but as long as I can stay by his side, my identity is not a problem." ”
Wei Qingxue listened to it for a while, but it can be regarded as understanding the current relationship between Wei Liuming and Huo Zeshen, and then comforted Wei Liuming and said: "Third sister, don't be sad, the eleventh prince won't care about this, it's not impossible for you to work harder, sister, to make the queen mother treat you differently." ”
"Qingxue is right, in addition to relying on the identity and background of the family, the biggest help for a woman also depends on herself, if she is not strong enough, even if she can enter the royal family, she won't be able to stay up for long, relax, the road is still long, walk slowly......" Wei Xiyue relieved a few words and let the two leave.
In the Golden Jade Pavilion, Wei Feiyue faced the invitation letter from the prince and Huo Zeyu, her face was ugly, and she only asked everyone around her to go out.
Wei Feiyue looked haggard when she was undecided between the prince and Huo Ze, "Heh, I didn't expect it to be really difficult to choose......
Chen led people to Wei Feiyue with ginseng soup, and Wei Feiyue tightened all the invitations on the table into her wide sleeves.
"Concubine, the cold has been too heavy in the past two days, mother, I specially stewed some black chicken ginseng soup for you to replenish your body, look at how thin you are with a sharp chin." Chen lifted the broken hair next to her eyebrows and hooked it behind her ears for Wei Feiyue.
Wei Feiyue looked at the steaming bowl of ginseng soup, but she didn't have the slightest appetite.
Chen Shi saw that Wei Feiyue had something in her heart, and said, "Recently, your grandmother's leg and foot problems have been committed again, you take the time to see her, do you know?" ”
Wei Feiyue was silent, raised her jade hand, and stirred the ginseng soup in the bowl with a spoon, her eyes sad.
"Mother, I don't have the choice between the prince and Brother Zeyu." Wei Feiyue said.
"Silly boy, it is best to choose the prince between the prince and the four princes, the future emperor can inherit the unification and give you the supreme right, and the four princes, after all, are just to fill your heart's like, and the most important thing for a woman to seek stability in her life is to be stable!" Chen persuaded Wei Feiyue to choose the crown prince.
Wei Feiyue struggled inwardly, she couldn't give up Huo Zeyu's liking for her, she had no dignity in front of the prince, and she looked like an obedient dog.
And Huo Zeyu will respect her opinion, will put her in the palm of his hand and spoil her well, give whatever she wants, and be favored like a princess.
"Mother, I'm sleepy, I'll go to dinner with grandma in the evening." Wei Feiyue took a sip of ginseng soup, took off her shoes and socks, and returned to lie on the bed.
When Chen left, he glanced at Wei Feiyue, hoping that she could consider her interests and make a choice.
After Lin Shanshan returned to the capital, her mind was full of thinking about how to make an appointment with the prince.
She also asked her father about the prince's movements in the court in the past few days.
Every night when I think of the encounter between the prince and myself, my heart is rippling, and I still want to relive with the prince.
Lin Shanshan came to visit Wei Feiyue, but Wei Feiyue was already unwell and refused to see Lin Shanshan, but Lin Shanshan was not convinced.
"I didn't come to you rarely, not for the prince."
On the way back to her home, Lin Shanshan met the prince, who was definitely going to find Wei Feiyue, and she couldn't just let go of this opportunity.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Lin Shanshan bowed slightly. "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you going to find Concubine Yue? I just came from the Wei Mansion, and Fei Yue is sick and nowhere to be seen. ”
"In that case, forget it." The prince looked at Lin Shanshan, who was full of spring, and his heart was a little itchy, for the time when the academy was in the restaurant.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stays, Shanshan heard that Xian Mei Pavilion has recently come up with a few new dishes, can you taste them together?" Lin Shanshan sent an invitation to the crown prince.
The prince pretended to think for a while before agreeing to go to Xian Mei Pavilion with Lin Shanshan for dinner.
Lin Shanshan is wearing a bright green jacket today, a few simple orchids are embroidered on the clothes, the collar and cuffs are sewn with plush rabbit hair, and the turmeric lower skirt is full of rows of blue waves, and the joyful pace looks like a little elf.
Wearing a double bun with white magnolia beads on both sides, moth eyebrows, eyes are smart, and the bright red rouge on the mouth looks very good.
But the prince did not take Lin Shanshan to Xian Mei Pavilion, but went to Furong Tower, Lin Shanshan lowered her eyebrows, and knew the prince's thoughts.
As soon as the two entered the private room, Lin Shanshan took the initiative to hug the prince's waist, and the smell of male hormones filled her entire chest.
"Prince~ Shanshan misses you." Lin Shanshan said.
The prince pulled Lin Shanshan to the edge of the bed and sat down.
