Bu Tong could hear that the person who spoke was Mu Hequan's disciple, and the imperial squire was left Fengzhi, who had always been good at things like sneaking around and slapping horses, and coming out to try things like that, although he didn't have any big skills, but such people also made people feel troublesome.

Bu Yu's whole body on the opposite side tensed up after hearing these words, Bu Tong followed everyone with a curious look, and Mu Hequan's gentle voice sounded after a while,

"Lord Zuo's words are out of line, the marriage of your daughter's daughter is a gift from the emperor, how can we achieve it when we sit down?"

Beiguo Gong didn't speak much, but at this time, he suddenly spoke up, and the general who had been fighting on the battlefield for half his life threw out a word that was not angry but threatening, and the moment he opened his mouth, the banquet on the opposite side suddenly became much quieter.

"The words of the sixth prince are too cautious, if the beloved daughter of the Duke of Nanguo has any good fate, she will go to Your Majesty to ask for it, will Your Majesty not succeed?"

As soon as these words came out, naturally no one dared to answer them, and Nan Guogong smiled and played a round field,

"What the eldest brother said is that there are not many heirs in my family, but Yiyang has a son, fortunately there are two daughters, Tong'er and Yu'er, if they can get a good marriage, my wife and I will be at ease in the future, isn't it, why is it difficult to ask Your Majesty with my old face?"

This caused a burst of laughter.

Zuo Fengzhi didn't know which string his head was wrong, and he continued to speak without knowing whether he was alive or dead.

"I don't know the two princesses, but I just saw the six princes carrying a silk handkerchief from their daughter's family in their cuffs, and the embroidery is exquisite, Lord Nanguogong, isn't it a young lady in your house?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of surprise, the woman who did not leave the pavilion gave such a personal thing to others, it was not a trivial matter, Zuo Fengzhi said it in front of the house full of magnates, if it is not determined, the reputation of the two young ladies in the house can be regarded as indestructible.

The sixth prince hurriedly shouted to stop him, "Zuo Qing said cautiously. ”

Zuo Fengzhi's drunken voice naturally gave his "nonsense" the best explanation, and after being silent for a long time, Beiguo Gong spoke out to break the deadlock,

"If so, then please ask Mrs. Qi to take a look."

There seemed to be a sound of getting up from the other side of the screen, and then Nanguo Gong announced that everyone was going to the side hall to rest.

……

The ladies gathered in the west hall and stayed quietly, the younger ladies curiously bit each other's ears and whispered, the older ones all looked heavy, and even the ninth princess was a little uncomfortable with such a dull atmosphere, bowing her head and squeezing around Butong to play with her own ring.

Soon, the voice of the little maid came from the door,

"Madam, the lord instructed Changsheng to hand over a silk handkerchief to Madame and take a look, maybe you can tell it?"

Mrs. Qi gave Jing Zhao a look, and Jing Zhao went out of the hall to get it, and there was only the immortal who was waiting by the side of Nanguo Gong outside the door, so she asked one more question, "What else do you want your lord?" ”

Changsheng lowered his eyebrows and said, "My lord said, please identify it carefully, don't miss the marriage of the six princes." ”

This was said implicitly, but those in the room with ears pricked up naturally understood what this meant, Jing Zhao dragged a wooden plate into the house and presented it to Mrs. Qi, on the wooden plate a handkerchief with exquisite embroidery lay quietly, Mrs. Qi whispered, "What a beautiful handiwork." ”

Aunt Qi on the side leaned over and took a look, although she didn't know who it was, but she was still relieved, "If our Tong'er can have such embroidery work one day, can my sister rest assured?" ”

The ladies and ladies present had long known that Bu Tong was not the best at these little daughters, and they laughed when they heard the words, and the atmosphere in the hall was more relaxed.

The ninth princess beckoned to Jingzhao with a curious look, "Take it and take a look." ”

Jing Zhao came over obediently, and the ninth princess stepped forward to look, "It's really so exquisite, it's even more beautiful than the embroidery girl in the palace." ”

Bu Tong glanced at the beads of sweat on Bu Yu's forehead, reached out and touched his sleeve pocket, widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised to cover his mouth, "This is not ......" Bu Tong quickly lowered his voice and approached Bu Yu, "Eldest sister, this seems to be the square handkerchief you gave me, didn't I accidentally lose it, but why did the sixth prince admit to his father that there was something unwarranted and didn't explain?" ”

Bu Yu bit his lip and didn't speak, Bu Yu's eyes lit up,

"Could it be that the sixth prince recognized the eldest sister's embroiderer and knew that it was the eldest sister's handkerchief, so he had the heart to ask for marriage? The eldest sister ...... with the six princes, "Learning from the nine princesses' gossip with a coquettish tone, Bu Tong came easily and effortlessly."

Bu Yu looked down and couldn't see his expression clearly, Bu Tong went back to drink tea leisurely, and complained in a low voice,

"The eldest sister is really stingy, and she doesn't say anything about her sister like this."

Knowing that everything has settled, I am not in a hurry for a while, I simply drank tea slowly, waiting for refreshments, around the time of Mo Shen, the guests said goodbye one after another, Nanguo Gong came over and called Mrs. Qi with her two daughters, the ninth princess has not yet gotten up, seeing this, she went to the Butong room to rest temporarily, as soon as a few people entered the door, they saw that there was only one immortal waiting by Nanguo Gong's side, and he looked angry, and looked at Mrs. Qi,

"Look at your good daughter!"

Mrs. Qi looked calm, sat down beside Nanguo Gong in a dignified manner, and motioned for Jing Zhao to step forward and put down the wooden plate.

"When my daughter is older, she naturally has her own heart, but I was negligent."

Unexpectedly, Buyu suddenly stepped forward and knelt down with a "plop", his face was pale, "Father, madam, this veil belongs to the daughter." ”

……

On the way back to her residence, Chun Tao kept chattering in disbelief,

"Is that her? How could it be her?! ”

Bu Tong recalled Bu Yu's refusal to defend herself, but she just felt funny, "Why can't it be her?" ”

Chun Tao's anxious appearance wrinkled herself into a small bun, "That's the sixth prince!" The most noble person in Kyoto, even if he marries a young lady in the future, it is appropriate, but a concubine, I am afraid that the queen will not agree. ”

Queen Mother......

Bu Tong thought about the woman who tried her best to help Mu Hequan, and only felt incredible.

"The non-biological mother has exhausted her heart and soul for the six princes, and the adoptive mother of the queen mother is really attentive."

When Chun Tao heard this, she hurriedly rushed over and covered Bu Tong's mouth, "Miss, don't talk nonsense, if this is heard by someone with a heart, how can it be good." ”

Bu Tong looked at her with a smile, his eyes swept over the sneaky figure behind the tree,

"At this time, remember to ask me to be cautious, isn't it just a matter of talking about the love between the sixth prince and the eldest sister?"

Accompanied by Chun Tao's tangled eyes, a crisp "click" sound came from behind the tree, and Chun Tao instantly became alert and shouted,

"Who is hiding behind and eavesdropping on the master's house, don't you want your ears?"

The Ninth Princess walked out from behind the tree with a displeased and shocked face, "Sister Bu, what did you just say?" Who is the sixth brother in love with? Step elm? ”

Chun Tao shrank her neck in time, and Bu Tong hurriedly stepped forward when she saw this, "Rong Ping, don't spread this matter, my father was so angry, and punished the eldest sister for going to the ancestral hall to punish kneeling, it is a matter of family face, don't ......"

Before Bu Tong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the angry Nine Princesses,

"I have never liked Sister Bu's sister-in-law, not because of her identity, but because she has been good at pretending to be forbearant since she was a child, and her mind is quite deep and not as refreshing and atmospheric as Sister Bu, why do the men of the Mu family always like such women, and such a calm person as Nan Guogong is angry, what unbearable things have they done?!"

Seeing that it was really achieved under his own hint, Bu Tong waved his hand again and again with satisfaction, "No, don't misunderstand...... princess"

Before she finished speaking, the ninth princess angrily brushed her sleeves and left, Bu Tong looked at her back, her eyes became lonely and heavy a little bit, and she whispered,

"Rong Ping, only the use of this one thing, I am sorry for you, and I will repay it twice in the future."

Chun Tao stepped forward anxiously, stomping her feet a little uneasily, "Miss, how is this good, the ninth princess has always been favored by the emperor, and I am afraid that I will not have to make a storm when I go back." ”

Bu Tong sighed softly, "That's it, there are a lot of guests today, and I can't hide it sooner or later." ”

Chun Tao kicked the pebbles at her feet hatefully, "It's all to blame for the person who doesn't know how to check, and it affects Miss's reputation." ”

Bu Tong smiled easily,

"Don't worry, my father and mother won't let my reputation be damaged."

Chun Tao bit her lip, looked at Bu Tong's appearance and cautiously confirmed, "Miss, you are a little different today." ”

Butong was taken aback,

"What's the difference?"

Chun Tao scratched the back of her head, "Chun Tao can't say it, I just think that Miss's mind is a little incomprehensible today." ”

Butong was already in a good mood, and now he is also interested, "Tell me, what am I thinking?" ”

Chun Tao grew up with Bu Tong, saying that she was a master and servant, but in fact, she was more like a sister, and there was no one left and right, so she was a little casual, "Miss, don't you like the six princes?" ”

It's not that it doesn't matter, it's not that it doesn't care, it's that I "don't like" a noble person who has met once or twice.

Bu Tong was slightly surprised, surprised that Chun Tao, who seemed to have no heart and lungs, actually noticed that he was so concerned, "Why do you say that?" ”

Chun Tao wrinkled a little chubby face and recalled seriously, "It stands to reason that it is the sixth prince who is the most popular among the nobles in Kyoto, and his attitude towards the young lady is friendly, but the young lady is always estranged, and now he sees that he has an affair with the concubine, but he is relieved." ”

It turned out that he just saw the subtle changes in his mood, and Bu Tong smiled lightly, "It's still Chun Tao who knows my heart." ”

Chun Tao smiled innocently, suddenly paused, and looked up at Bu Tong with some fearlessness, "Miss, I'm afraid it's not the Ninth Princess who said it, you have a sweetheart?" ”

Bu Tong had no intention of concealing it, looking at the boxy sky above his head,

"Chun Tao, I had a long dream last night, in the dream it was a failure to live this life, and finally ended up with a broken family, and when I woke up, I seemed to understand a lot of things."

Of course, Chun Tao didn't understand all the exhaustion and exhaustion behind these simple words, so she just tilted her head and said, "Miss, there are countless things to do in your dreams." ”

Bu Tong took a deep breath, "When I opened my eyes again today, I felt that I was a new student, and if I had the opportunity to make up for those regrets, it would be a lifetime of luck." ”

Chun Tao looked at Bu Tong with a stupid smile, "Chun Tao doesn't understand this, but as long as Miss is happy, Chun Tao is also happy." ”

Bu Tong got up and looked at the crimson sunset, "In the end, it's autumn, and this day is shorter." Looking at the tall plane tree in the corner of the courtyard, his eyes slowly became cold,

"Mu Hequan, haven't you liked your eldest sister for many years? Now that you have hugged the beauty early, are you really happy? It's just that this time, the Nanguo Mansion has helped each other, and you don't have to think about it at all. ”
