Xu took Ouyang Zhen's handle, made a fuss in the "Yihua Garden", took the jade pendant, and ran to Concubine Chu to cry and make a fuss that night.

Coincidentally, Chu Huotian came back early today and was having dinner with Concubine Chu. Xu Shi saw Chu Huotian even more tearful, pulling him to cry and crying.

"Master Hou, you have to be the master of your concubine, this ...... This is obviously because she looked at the concubine with this jade pendant and her eyes were red. Then he told his subordinates to steal it and threw it in the stinking ditch. Xu's pretty face was crying, so touching.

Chu Huotian turned cold, and Jun just looked at her.

Concubine Chu finally had a meal with Chu Huotian, and she was overjoyed, but when she ran into the Xu family to stir up, she couldn't help but be angry. also had a cold face, turned around and said to the maid beside him: "Go and ask the Seventh Lady to come over and talk." ”

I was about to say a few more words in anger, when I suddenly saw Chu Huotian look back at her, and the anger in his heart was suddenly extinguished as if he had been doused with a basin of cold water, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, now that this matter is in front of Hou Ye, if he doesn't handle it properly, he must have been put on an unvirtuous mark in Hou Ye's heart.

Concubine Chu was busy stabilizing her mind, and said to Xu Shi, who was crying on the side: "Don't cry first, Hou Ye has a lot of opportunities, if you really feel sorry for Hou Ye, you should let Hou Ye have a meal." Hearing this, Xu Shi hurriedly collected his tears and obediently stepped aside.

Chu Huotian put down the silver chopsticks in his hand and said lightly: "Don't eat it." I ate a little full at noon, and I will eat again later. ”

After speaking, he took the wet handkerchief handed by Li Jingcai, wiped it, and walked to the front hall. Concubine Chu hurriedly followed. Xu Shi was also so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and he also stepped forward.

Concubine Chu saw that Chu Huotian was expressionless, so she had to smile and said, "Hou Ye also wants to eat more, why don't you get some supper for Hou Ye at night?" Chu Huotian glanced at her, his eyes fell on her delicate face coated with thick powder, and suddenly an irritability rose, and he waved his hand: "Let's talk about it in the evening." ”

Concubine Chu touched a soft nail, and her heart became more and more unhappy. He turned his head and glared at Xu. Xu Shi calmed down, and when he saw Chu Huotian ignoring her, he felt uneasy. But after thinking about it, if it could make Chu Huotian hate Ouyang Zhen, it would be worth it. She is so young and beautiful, it is not easy to regain the heart of the monarch in time.

After a short half of the tea, Ouyang Zhen came to the outside of Concubine Chu's hall, and the maid hurriedly led her in.

Ouyang Zhen bowed his head and walked in, glanced up at Chu Huotian and Concubine Chu in the hall, and bowed down.

Chu Huotian hadn't seen her for more than a month, only to see her wearing a cloud-blue embroidered lotus Hangzhou satin dress, covered with a silver silk edge Hunan embroidered summer lotus yarn of the same color Luo Yi, her hair was curled and she looked at the fairy bun, only a white jade carved magnolia hairpin, decorated with a few beaded flowers, the person was as elegant as the moon, the figure was slender and slender, the small waist was not full of hand, and the demeanor was more and more ethereal like a fairy.

His heart tightened, and after not seeing her for many days, she had lost a lot of weight.

Ouyang Zhen's heart was pounding, not because the Xu family came to complain, but because he was somehow panicked when he saw Chu Huotian. I haven't seen him for a few days, but Chu Huotian has been cleared, and his dark blue homely robe is more and more lined with his slim body, and the green jade hair on his head is emitting a soft light under the lamp, but the momentum of sitting upright is even more cold and majestic.

"The Ouyang clan greets the Hou Ye, the princess, and respectfully invites the two Wan'an." Ouyang Zhen bowed.

Concubine Chu hurriedly said, "Get up." As he spoke, he asked Chu Huotian, "Master Hou, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Chu Huotian glanced at the Xu family, who was wiping his tears on the side, and said lightly: "The princess is in charge of the affairs of the palace, and the princess will handle it impartially, so there is no need to ask the marquis." It's just that I hope there won't be any more such things in the future. ”

Concubine Chu hurriedly said yes, and said to Ouyang Zhen and Xu Shi below: "This matter is actually a trivial matter, Xu's improper custody of your own belongings, and it makes a lot of trouble, you are also at fault, Ouyang Clan, you are not strict with your subordinates, it is also a mistake." Both of them were wrong, and they were punished together for five days of closed-door thinking, during which you meditated and meditated, and if you had time and leisure, you copied some Buddhist scriptures to cultivate your body and mind. ”

Ouyang Zhen listened, and bowed down again: "Thank you for the princess's training, Ouyang will go back and think about it." ”

Xu Shi stared at a pair of phoenix eyes, pulled a silk handkerchief in his hand, and couldn't help but say, "Master Hou...... This ......" Chu Huotian glanced at her coldly and said, "What's the matter, do you have any objections to the princess's disposition?" ”

Xu Shi looked at Chu Huotian's eyes, and had to say stupidly: "Yes, Ning Shuang understands." ”

Chu Huo Tiansaw that it had been disposed of, and turned to Concubine Chu and said, "Ben Hou is also tired, go to deal with official business first and rest." ”

Concubine Chu hurriedly got up and asked, "Where is Master Hou resting tonight?" "A pair of eyes full of hope.

Chu Huotian was stunned, saw her eyes shining, and hesitated: "Just rest on Ruyu's side, Ben Hou hasn't seen Han Xuan for several days." By the way, bring Linyue over tomorrow, and Benhou will take a good look at her tomorrow. ”

Seeing him say this, Concubine Chu was stunned for a long time before she smiled and responded, "Yes." That's to send Hou Ye. ”

Chu Huotian left first, Ouyang Zhen stepped sideways, and he walked with the smell of ambergris that she was familiar with, and his heart throbbed again.

Ouyang Zhen and Concubine Chu said goodbye and retreated, and then went out of the "Jade Garden", passing by Xu's side, Xu snorted coldly at her. Ouyang Zhen didn't hear it, and was helped out by Wan Huixu.

The night was slightly cool, and the hazy red lanterns had already been lit in the Hou Mansion. The pavilion cloister is deep and quiet. Ouyang Zhen walked on the bluestone road, his thin embroidered shoes stepping on the hard ground, and slowly walked forward. In the night, there are unknown fragrant flowers exuding their fragrance, and in the silence of the summer night, it seems that many small insects can be heard chirping in the grass.

The long, straight stone path stretches into the distance. Ouyang Zhen only felt a strange feeling slowly rising in his heart, as if this road could not be completed, and it could not be walked endlessly.

The wind lantern in Wan Hui's hand was clearly extinguished. Suddenly, someone came up to him, bowed down and whispered, "Master Hou, please ask Mrs. to meet you." ”

Ouyang Zhen was slightly startled, glanced at Wan Hui, and said, "Yes, please let Gonggong Li lead the way." ”

Li Jingcai didn't say much, and walked forward first. Ouyang Zhen walked silently behind him.

The night is lonely, there are a few stars scattered in the sky, and there are no people walking on the bluestone road. Ouyang Zhen only felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar, but there was no sadness in his heart.

Li Jingcai led the two of them all the way to the secluded road, and after walking for half an hour, they arrived at a garden.

Ouyang Zhen looked up, but saw a small attic standing in the garden.

The attic is octagonal, in the heavy night can still see that the attic is very delicate and elegant, there is a pond of lotus pond in front of the building, the sound of frogs bursts, adding more summer interest.
