Chapter 44: Enemies Meet
Outside the palace gate, looking at the backs of Qin Xichun and Qin Lingyue leaving together, the light and shadow in Qin Yuanxi's eyes flickered, and the meaning contained in those eyes was even heavier.
After sending off the guests from outside the hall, he saw Ziyun waiting for orders.
Ziyun lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Master, do you want to come and ask?" ”
"Hmm......" Qin Yuanxi tilted his head, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
Noticing the flying magpie on the glazed tiles, she finally sighed slightly Xiaoshun, "It's still not necessary, just send someone to pay attention to her." ”
"The slave and maid understand." Ziyun was a little surprised by this arrangement, but seeing that the master decided to pay attention, she didn't say much.
Qin Yuanxi didn't deliberately doubt her, Yu Xuanran still did what she was willing to do after all.
……
At the beginning of the month, a drizzle brings the coolness of autumn.
In the courtyard of Yunxi Palace, a huge ginkgo has fallen the first autumn wilted leaves.
fluttering and falling on the grass, lying there quietly, as if to witness winter, but it was quickly collected by Ziyun.
For the people behind Qinglan, Tianwei didn't have too much to do, but faintly found out the shadow of King Xuan.
King Xuan is the son of the self-proclaimed Emperor Wai of the previous dynasty, and this is a person who has appeared before.
As for the accuracy of it, even Tianwei can't be sure.
Maybe it's really capable, Yu Xuanran just returned to Qin Yuanxi's side again in just one week.
The ups and downs of its status made all the little palace maids envious.
On this day, Qin Yuanxi made a decision and decided to go to the grassland to ride a horse.
Because the younger brothers and sisters were young and unwilling to go with the second brother Qin Han, Qin Yuanxi only brought the guards alone.
The capital is surrounded by plains, and in the northwest there is a large grassland for the royal and powerful to ride and shoot.
The pasture is fully equipped with a dedicated royal stable, and naturally there is a place for people to rest.
The frame of the county lord of Yunxi stopped, and as soon as the group entered the grassland, Qin Yuanxi saw an old acquaintance, and said that it was an old enemy.
This person is none other than Yu Mao, the fifth lady of the Yu family, who has experienced the previous events, and Yu Mo at this time seems to be much more down.
Qin Yuanxi would not have thought that he would meet her here, and no one would think that she would have a rare leisure to ride a horse.
Staring at Yu Xuanran's wincing eyes on the side of the door, and then turning his head to look at Yu Xuanran, who was respectful as usual, Qin Yuanxi didn't mention how smooth his mood was.
The Yu family, the dignified and scholarly daughter.
One grovels as a slave, the other sees her as a slave and is born as a heavenly family, if she does not have some arrogance, it is false.
Yu Qian must have been snubbed by Yu Shangshu, at this time she was wearing an ugly coarse cloth dress with patches on her trouser legs, which was not as good as a maid.
Carefully folded his hands between his abdomen, and the slightly beautiful face trembled with fear.
It's just that in a place where outsiders don't notice, Yu Qian looked at Qin Yuanxi with resentment engraved in his bones.
At this point, he met his eyes for the first time, and Qin Yuanxi almost didn't see it.
After seeing it, the ridicule on the lips could no longer be stopped.
"Miss Yu," Qin Yuanxi's red lips moved, and he opened his mouth with kindness, "It's been a long time, why, it's all autumn, why do you wear so little?" Don't catch a cold. ”
That seemingly beautiful smile, no one knows how much evil is hidden in it.
Yu Mo still waited, raised her head and glanced at her slightly, pursed her lips without saying a word.
This was what made Qin Yuanxi lose his interest and shake his head in disappointment.
Turning around and seeing Yu Xuanran, he ordered again, "Xuanran, bring your fifth sister into the house to reminisce about the past." ”
Yu Xuanran was reluctant to face Yu Yu, but Qin Yuanxi spoke, and she also knew that her fifth sister was going to suffer.
Without hesitation, Yu Xuanran nodded slightly.
After Qin Yuanxi led Ziyun and the two in, she stepped forward and grabbed Yu Yu's sleeve.
“…… Fifth sister, let's go in. ”
The silent Yu Mo finally reacted, flicked her sleeves in disgust, and shook off her seventh sister's hand.
Glancing at Yu Xuanran coldly, Yu Yu raised her feet and entered the door.
Maybe it was really clear about Qin Yuanxi's temperament, Yu Xuanran glanced at the fifth sister with some pity and helplessness, and followed suit.
Qin Yuanxi in the house had already landed in the first seat, bowed his head and fiddled with his fingers, quietly waiting for Yu Yu to step forward.
When she saw a shadow on the floor, she still didn't look up, "Miss Yu, please take a seat." ”
Yu Yu knew that the county lord of Yunxi would not let her go easily, and she didn't dare to accept this at this time.
Her eyes fell on Yu Xuanran, who stepped forward, and shook her head slowly, "Thanks to the love of the county lord, the courtiers dare not accept the favor." ”
"Oh, you're pretty clear about who you are."
Qin Yuanxi just wanted to explore her reaction, and so far it was clear.
"I heard your sister say that you are very good at serving people, why don't you give the county lord a beating on the back, and see which of you two sisters will please the master?"
Yu Qian glanced up at Qin Yuanxi in surprise, pinched her palms and nodded hesitantly, "...... Yes,"
Perhaps because she lost her mind to disobey Qin Yuanxi, she completely lost the only remaining shelf of her Yu family's daughter-in-law.
When he approached and got the order, he carefully pinched Qin Yuanxi's shoulders, although he was serving his master like a maid, but those tired eyes stared directly at Yu Xuanran.
I don't know if it hates this sister for groveling to please her enemy, or expects Yu Xuanran to do something she should do.
It wasn't until the strength of his shoulders was much weaker that Qin Yuanxi waved his hand to stop.
"Pour a cup of hot tea for the county lord, and then wipe the shoes for the county lord."
Looking at the cloth shoes stained with some mud on the soles of Qin Yuanxi's feet, Yu Yu bit her lip and turned around to go to the teapot.
A cup of hot tea was carefully held in front of the table, and scattered three-point tea leaves fluttered on the water.
The heat of the cup can't stop rising, trying to fill the room with the cool autumn day.
Yu Yu was about to let go, when Qin Yuanxi glanced at it, and just saw a little strange bruise on her wrist covered by the rag shadow.
The wrist, which was as white as snow, looked dazzling and dazzling because of the bruises.
Qin Yuanxi's face remained unchanged, and he picked up the tea and wanted to blow, but suddenly his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Stop,"
Yu Yu stopped her steps and turned her head in surprise.
Putting the tea back on the table, Qin Yuanxi's gaze locked on Yu Yu's right wrist.
"Miss Yu seems to have an injury on her hand, let the county lord take a look?"
The good Miss Yu family has injuries on her body, and after a little thought, she can guess that she should have been punished for making a big mistake last time.
I don't know what to think of, a trace of fear flashed in Yu Yu's eyes, and she hurriedly shook her head, "It's just a little injury, and the courtiers are afraid that it will hinder the county lord's mood." ”
Qin Yuanxi's face was cold, "Presumptuous, this county lord asked you to come over." ”
was reprimanded again, Yu Yu didn't dare to hesitate, and finally walked in front of her.
Qin Yuanxi didn't dislike it, grabbed her wrist, rolled up her sleeve and checked it up and down.
