After Xie Yanhe left the palace, the sky had completely darkened.

This section of the road from Zhengyangmen to the Jingping Marquis's Mansion is all the Prince's Mansion, and a series of red lanterns have been lit early on the outside of the Zhumen Mansion.

From a distance, the red lights are linked from end to end, like a fire dragon, which is very spectacular.

When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Jingping's mansion, Pearl leaned into Xie Yanhe's ear and said softly: "County Lord, we have arrived." ”

Xie Yanhe opened her eyes, her red and swollen eyelids still had a trace of crying, she held her somewhat drowsy head, and said in a hoarse voice: "Tear down the threshold and go in." ”

"Yes, county lord."

……

In the middle of the moon, in the small Buddha hall of the Marquis of Jingping, there was an extremely subtle cat meow.

Immediately afterwards, a figure pushed open the door of the house that was hidden in front of the small Buddha hall and walked in. The man walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine, pressed a note under the incense burner in front of the jade statue of Guanyin, and then, looking around, there was no one around, and left quickly.

……

At the end of the day, Xie Yanhe woke up from his sleep.

Almost the moment she opened her eyes, the gauze tent of the cicada wing yarn was gently lifted by a slender jade hand, and an amber clear and pleasant voice came from outside the bed tent: "County Lord, are you awake?" But do you want to sleep a little longer? ”

Xie Yanhe took the warm water handed over by Amber and moistened his throat. She covered her mouth and yawned prettyly, and her soft, sweet voice had a hint of laziness: "Help me up." ”

Hearing this, Amber quickly shook the golden bell at the head of the bed.

The sound of "ding ding dong dong" was extremely crisp, and from behind the screen in the inner room came a column of maids dressed in colorful clothes, holding handps, water basins, incense and other things.

Xie Yanhe gargled his mouth, cleaned his face, and was orderly. Her movements are like flowing water, as graceful as a painting.

"What kind of bun did the county lord comb today?" Rosin holds a moire horn comb inlaid with turquoise and beeswax.

Xie Yan and the golden hairpin with a pavilion inlaid with rubies in his hand said casually: "Just comb a lily bun." ”

"Yes." Rosin Xiang bent her knees, her fingers were very dexterous, and after a while, she gave Xie Yanhe a bun.

Rosin carefully looked at the beauty in the mirror, and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so she found a pair of gold and ruby lantern earrings and put them on for Xie Yanhe.

Qiuyi, who went to the small kitchen to deliver food, was followed by three teams of maids carrying food boxes.

"County Lord, the small kitchen made kidney bean rolls, jade mille-feuille cakes, and a plate of Ulva vegetable soup today."

Qiu Yi and Xie Yanhe introduced a few new foods in today's kitchen, as for crab roe xiaolongbao, rouge goose breast, jujube paste yam cake, chicken shredded fish porridge, etc., they are the same as yesterday's.

Xie Yanhe shook his head almost invisibly.

Qiuyi bent his knees and ordered to the maid behind him: "Set the meal." ”

The round table with a black lacquer luodian inlaid with mica stone table was brought up, and the maid brought snacks, side dishes, and porridge from the food box to the table.

Although there was only Xie Yan and one person in the Hou Mansion to eat, there were more than 20 kinds of side dishes and snacks alone. Xie Yanhe tasted a kidney bean roll, a piece of jade mille-feuille cake, and used a small half bowl of lettuce soup, and ate a few side dishes, and then stopped chopsticks.

Usually, Xie Yan and the seats that were removed from the house would be rewarded to the first-class maidservants around him, and he was not afraid of waste.

"The county lord has always had a bad appetite these days, do you want the slave to go to the Tai Hospital and ask the hospital to come and take a look at you?"

Amber looked at the small dishes on the table that had barely been taken by the county to take the initiative with a few chopsticks, as well as the delicate, bite-by-bite jade mille-feuille cake and kidney bean rolls, and couldn't help frowning, and even there was a hint of worry in his tone.

"You've lost a lot in the last month. The new clothes that were just cut half a month ago, the waist is here, and they are all loose. If you continue like this, where will your body survive? ”

"It's okay." Xie Yanhe said with a smile, "Compared to those ladies who count the grains of rice to eat, I have eaten a lot." ”

She just used half a bowl of porridge less than usual, but Amber was like the sky was about to fall, and she had to make a big fuss.

"Yuan Xu said that the county lord, your physique is weak and cold, and you need to take care of it." As the saying goes, loyalty is against the ear, and Amber can't let the county lord spoil his body by his temperament.

"Got it, housekeeper." Xie Yanhe chuckled, changed the silk shoes on his feet, and wore a pair of embroidered shoes with mille-feuille soles: "The day before yesterday, Agate said that the peony flowers in Fangyuan have bloomed, and I just went over to see it today." ”

Rosin Xiang listened, and hurriedly found a gold-woven cloak of Xie Yanhe, a red orangutan felt, and a circle of snow-white embroidered silver threads rolled on the hat, which was both gorgeous and extravagant.

The morning sun is not sunny, the flowers and trees are stained with morning dew, and there is a cool breeze, and this cloak picked out by rosin is very necessary.

Xie Yanhe was served by the maid to put on the cloak, and as soon as he walked out of the verandah on the side, a maid who made Xie Yanhe feel a little angry hurriedly ran over.

"Tell the county lord, Lord Li Mu Li came to visit today, and the porter didn't dare to stop him, and Lord Li should have already passed the second gate at this time."

"What is he here for?" The little maid's panting voice made Xie Yanhe's heart show a trace of boredom, her eyebrows twisted slightly, and she turned her head and instructed Amber: "Next time I come to the door, tell Master Li, unmarried couple, it's better to avoid suspicion." If it really matters, I might as well visit my grandmother, Princess Heian. ”

"County Lord, Lord Li came here yesterday." Amber was left in the mansion by Xie Yanhe and did not accompany the county lord into the palace, so Amber knew more than this little maid.

"Yesterday?" Xie Yanhe stretched out his hand to break a peach blossom branch that poked out from the door of the Moon Cave, and his steps did not stop, and he said as he walked: "Is it because of the matter of Fengyang Street?" He's well-informed. ”

The last sentence has been dyed with a little anger of being spied on.

"That's why Master Li came." Amber knelt on the ground, her tone and demeanor were all respectful: "The slave is afraid of ruining your interest, so she deliberately conceals it, and asks the county lord to surrender your guilt." ”

Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, in the slender jade hand, the peach blossom branch turned around in Xie Yanhe's hand very dexterously, the white skin and the dark red petals, like a pink peach and fine snow, were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

It's just such a picture of a fairy concubine, but no one dares to look up and admire it.

"I have a heart." The corners of Xie Yanhe's lips curled slightly, and he snorted in a low voice, but he couldn't hear who he was sighing in his tone.

Amber hurriedly blew her head lower.

Amber's former master was Xie Yanhe's own grandmother, one of the few remaining eldest princesses of the royal family - the eldest princess of Ping'an, at that time Amber was only a second-class maid, and she rarely had the opportunity to get in front of the eldest princess.

Therefore, when Amber heard that she was going to be transferred to serve by the eldest princess of Ping'an, the excitement in her heart even outweighed her apprehension.

In five years, it took Amber a full five years to finally climb to the highest position next to the county lord of Yonghe, except for the mandarin duck that the county lord trusted the most, Amber was the first of these maids.

Although Amber has always been loyal to Xie Yanhe, whenever it comes to the old master, the eldest princess of Ping'an, Amber will use silence to avoid suspicion, and this time it is the same.

Xie Yanhe didn't know what Amber was thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care much.

"Tell Li Mu that I'm not feeling well, let him go back." Xie Yan wanted to send Li Mu away in a few words.

"The slave maid said it yesterday, but that Lord Li was very stubborn, and he was willing to die until he saw you, and later I knew that you went to Princess Fuqing's mansion, and I was afraid of catching up with the curfew, so I was willing to leave." Amber said in a low voice.

"What about grandmother? Does she know that Li Mu is coming to the house? Xie Yanhe shook off the petals on the peach branches, and the flower branches fell into the dirt on both sides of the road.

At this point, Amber never dared to deceive Xie Yanhe. She bit her lip and said, "The eldest princess should know. ”

Xie Yanhe let out a faint "oh", and he understood his grandmother's attitude.

It's ridiculous to say, the eldest princess of Ping An has always taken face and rules very seriously, but now in order to get rid of her own trouble, she has ignored the rules and physique, which is also ridiculous!

Xie Yanhe pulled his lips and said lightly: "Send people away." Let him not come back in the future. ”

Xie Yanhe said such heavy words, which shows that he has no patience for Li Mu. Of course, this also has something to do with her terrible state of mind.

Yesterday's game seemed to be a coincidence, but Xie Yanhe had laid it out before he returned to Beijing. Unexpectedly, it has already reached His Majesty, and it is still a waste of all efforts.

Xie Yanhe's expected raid and exile did not happen, and in the end, His Majesty's disposal of the Changping Bofu was only a seizure.

Where can Xie Yanhe be willing? But under the imperial power, he did not accept his fate, and there was no other way to think about it.

"County Lord, the eldest princess summons, let you go quickly!" Pang Jing, the family commander of the eldest princess of Ping'an, came over from the verandah with a bunch of palace maids.

The eunuch's sharp voice reached Xie Yanhe's ears, slightly harsh.

Xie Yan frowned almost invisibly at the tip of his eyebrows.

It's time for the subordinates of the Hou Mansion to rectify. Even if the person who came was the Pang family order from his grandmother's house, he shouldn't have reported it without a word, so he let this person go straight in.

Xie Yanhe's light gaze passed over the row of palace maids brought by Pang Jialing, her chin was slightly raised, and her beautiful face was no longer gentle and soft in front of the eldest princess, but full of arrogance and indifference.

"Pang Jialing, is there something wrong?" Xie Yan and a pair of rippling peach blossom eyes had just the right amount of worry in them, and she bit her lip and asked.

If there is no urgency, Pang Jing will directly enter the Hou Mansion, even if he is a person close to the elders, he will have a reputation as an unruly and disrespectful master.

"County Lord, you went to see the eldest princess, so you will naturally know." Regarding Xie Yanhe's soft and hard attitude, Pang Jing didn't move her eyebrows, but directly moved out Xie Yanhe's grandmother, the eldest princess of Ping'an, to suppress people!

The flowers in Xie Yanhe's palms were suddenly crushed by her, and on her glamorous face, her gorgeous red lips curled: "Since it was summoned by my grandmother, Yan He didn't dare to disobey, Pang Jialing, lead the way!" ”

The girl's back was straight, her slender neck was raised high like a swan, and her gentle eyebrows, which had been sharpened by three years of forbearance, revealed a sharp cold glow in an instant.

Pang Jialing shook his eyes slightly, it seemed that the proud girl of the sky three years ago had returned. However, when he blinked again and looked closely, the girl's long eyelashes were slightly constricted, and she had already retracted her gaze.
