As soon as the morning court got down on this day, Cangxi ordered Cang'er to go to the Guogong Mansion to guard, as long as Miss Fu San went out, she would report to him immediately. Cang Er didn't dare to say anything about Cang Xi on his face, but behind his back, he scolded this forgetful master.
In the evening, Cang'er returned to the Xiwang Mansion and reported to Cang Xiyu: "The third lady and the little maid who came to talk have left the Fu Mansion. ”
Cangxi raised the corners of his mouth and said, "You stay in the mansion, if someone from the Fourth Highness comes to spread the word, you will greet you." ”
Cang'er was unhappy when he heard this, he squatted for his master for a day, and in the end, the master went out to see the lanterns but refused to take him. If it weren't for the fact that Cangxi is master, I'm afraid he would have handed over his fist a long time ago. However, without waiting for Cang'er to refute, Cangxi had already disappeared.
Jiming Temple is not in the downtown area, but it is also very lively because of the Lantern Festival. An entire street outside the temple was set up with small stalls. Many well-known food and gadget stalls have long been crowded in front of them.
Cangxi first Fu porcelain one step to the Jiming Temple, in the days Cangxi in and out is a black robe, today put on this light blue robe, people feel particularly pleasing to the eye.
Cangxi waited outside the gate of Jiming Temple for a full cup of tea before he saw Fu Ci walking in this direction. Cangxi had never seen Fu Porcelain through the bright red clothes. Now Fu Ci is wearing this red cloak, which is another appearance after people are used to seeing the posture of hibiscus.
Fu Ci and Gui Yu walked in front of Cangxi and bowed, and Cangxi bowed slightly to return the salute.
Such a humble and obedient cangxi, Fu Ci is the first time to see it
Gui Yu looked at these two people on the side, one was a heroic young man and the other was a graceful red suit, they were really a good match. Thinking of this, Gui Yu smirked on the side, and it wasn't until Fu Ci glared at her that Gui Yu took back this smile stupidly.
After Gui Yu's eyes withdrew from the faces of the two, he looked at the clothes of the two people in a blink of an eye. In my impression, except for the court clothes, Gui Yu has never seen Cangxi wearing clothes other than black. Similarly, their own ladies rarely wear robes of bright colors. It seems that these two people can be regarded as mavericks this time!
Seeing that Fu Ci and Cangxi were both stupidly in place, Gui Yu suddenly became teased and asked, "Today's clothes of the prince and the young lady seem to be different from the past?" ”
"Don't you have to wear brightly colored clothes for the Lantern Festival?" The two asked rhetorically in unison.
If he knew that the tacit understanding between the two was already so high, Gui Yu would not have said such a word!
"Yes, you two are walking in front of you to watch the lanterns, and the slave and maid are following behind." Gui Yu said.
Hearing Gui Yu's words, Cangxi and Fu Ci walked side by side on the lively street.
"What do you do when you ask the king to come out?" Cangxi asked.
Fu Ci suddenly stopped and smiled at Cangxi: "Seduce you." ”
After finishing speaking, he continued to walk forward, and Cangxi was even more of a second monk - confused.
Fu Ci's sentence "seducing you" can be called from the bottom of his heart. Since she chose to listen to Shen Zihe's words, she naturally hoped that Cangxi would marry her if she was willing. It's not for a holy decree to bind two people together for no reason.
Fu Ci walked to a somewhat deserted alley, and suddenly stopped in front of a small stall. Cangxi also stopped.
This stall is very small, the owner of the stall is sitting on the side, he is a white-haired old man, there are many wrinkles on the old man's face, in Fu Ci's opinion, these are all scratches of the years. Fu Ci stopped, not because the old man's stall was famous, but simply because he felt that it was not easy for an old man to make a living here.
"Uncle, give me three glutinous rice cakes," Fu Ci said.
The white-haired old man heard Fu Ci's call and hurriedly got up and picked up three glutinous rice cakes into a paper bag.
Fu Ci looked at the old man's skillful appearance, and shouted jokingly behind him: "Master, it's not too much to invite the little girl to eat a glutinous cake, right?" ”
Cangxi replied to Fu Ci with a big white eye, it was the first time he had seen such a skinny person.
But in any case, when he went out to buy something, he couldn't ask a girl's family to pay for it, so he took out the money bag from his sleeve, took out a silver ingot, and handed it to the white-haired old man.
When the old man saw such a big ingot of silver, he really didn't dare to take it, and said, "I can't find it, I can't find it." ”
Cangxi searched all over his pockets, but he couldn't find a copper plate.
The white-haired old man looked at the two people with kind faces, and waved his hands with a smile.
"This meal, I'm an old man, I'm invited. I wish the girl and the son eternal marriage. The white-haired old man said, Fu Ci refused, and hurriedly snatched the ingot of silver from Cangxi's hand, and said, "Uncle, you don't have to look for it." ”
The white-haired old man didn't take the silver, and asked with a smile: "Why did the girl think of coming to this alley when she didn't go to the downtown to see the lanterns and buy glutinous cakes?" ”
"Uncle, don't you also refuse to go to the downtown to set up a stall?" Fu Ci asked rhetorically.
The white-haired old man waved his hand and said, "This is different. ”
"How is it different?" Cangxi asked.
The old man sighed and said, "Go to the downtown to set up a stall, and the official will collect money." My son was arrested and sent to the army, and now I am alone to feed the whole family and not go hungry. I don't have that money to pay rent, and I don't want to earn it. ”
After hearing this, Cang Xi was still silent on his face, but he was a little angry in his heart, and asked: "Why do officials collect your land rent during the Lantern Festival?" ”
The old man sighed again and said, "Parents official, parent official, how many people dare not listen to what the father and mother say?" ”
Cangxi was still not good at giving up, and asked again: "The imperial court recruits all have generous subsidies, why is life still hard when you come here?" ”
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly: "This son must not be from a small family. Do you know how much money from the court really goes to our people? ”
Cangxi was silent when he heard this.
Today's officialdom is full of miasma, and the people are completely affected by corruption. Is such a court and such an official really what the people want?
"You take this money, this is what you deserve." After that, Cangxi stuffed the ingot of silver into the white-haired old man's hand, and the old man didn't have time to react, so Cangxi dragged Fu Ci and continued to move forward, disappearing into the alley.
After leaving the alley, Cangxi let go of Fu Ci's hand and stood still and stopped moving.
Just now, Cangxi pulled Fu Ci too fast. Gui Yu followed behind and almost lost the two of them.
Seeing Cangxi standing on his heels, Fu Ci asked, "What is the prince thinking?" ”
"The world is alive." Cangxi replied.
Fu Ci smiled slightly and said, "What the prince saw was only one in ten thousand. In Chengzhou, the poor can't afford to live, and the rich are too luxurious. ”
Cangxi admitted that the little woman was right. This phenomenon is only 1 in 10,000 in Chengzhou. Jinling City is still like this, and the surrounding areas will only be surpassed.
"I'm sorry. This king has swept away your interest today. Cangxi said.
Fu Ci opened the paper bag and handed a glutinous rice cake to Cangxi: "The prince tastes it, the courtiers liked to eat this thing very much when they were young." ”
Cangxi didn't take the food in Fu Ci's hand, and said, "Coax the children's things, you and Gui Yu can eat." ”
Fu Ci refused to give up and handed the glutinous rice to Cangxi. Seeing that this little woman was so persistent, Cangxi reluctantly took a bite. This glutinous rice cake is soft and glutinous in the mouth, sweet in taste, and very delicious.
It's just that Cangxi doesn't eat much sweets.
"You eat", Cangxi didn't move again after taking a bite.
Fu Ci didn't force it anymore, and after handing one to Gui Yu, he ate it by himself. Fu porcelain is very dignified, and even eating on the street is very elegant. At this point, Fu porcelain is very temperamental to the daughter of the national government.
After eating the glutinous rice cakes, Fu Ci proposed to put Kong Ming lanterns and make wishes and pray for blessings.
Cangxi didn't refute, although he rarely participated in this kind of wishing and blessing activity. However, since he agreed to accompany Fu Porcelain out, it is naturally not good to sweep the nature of Fu Porcelain.
Coming to the downtown area, Fu Ci and Cangxi walked side by side. In the eyes of outsiders, this is really a pair of golden boys and girls.
Fu Ci was walking, Cangxi suddenly stopped, and said to Fu Ci, "Wait for me here." ”
Fu Ci nodded, and Cangxi turned around and turned back to a stall buying masks that he had just passed. Fu Ci looked at the back of Cang Xi choosing the mask from a distance, and his heart was a little sour.
is obviously using each other, but the two of them are acting in a scene of your affection and my willingness. Just like just now, Fu Ci sent the glutinous rice to Cangxi's mouth, Cangxi didn't raise his hand, and directly bit it on Fu Ci's hand. Just like now, Cangxi turned back and chose a mask. It seems that Lang is a concubine, but in fact, how much thought is used in this, I am afraid that only the parties know in their hearts.
Fu Ci was thinking about it, and a scathing greeting pulled her thoughts back.
"The third sister also came to enjoy the lanterns, I don't know who will accompany you?" Fu asked with a smile.
Fu Ci curtsto, and now Fu Xuan is a princess who was handpicked by the emperor. Even though she is the young lady of the Fu Mansion, as long as the saint is willing to raise Fu Xuanyue, what is the dignity of the concubine?
Fu Ci smiled back and asked, "Who is the second sister to accompany you?" ”
Fu Xuan straightened his armor and said arrogantly: "Naturally, it is the prince of Xi." ”
Fu Ci only felt amused and asked, "Where is the prince now?" ”
Fu Yuyue snorted coldly, "King Xi, can you also ask?" ”
The named Lord Xi has now finished buying a mask and is standing not far away. The pair of masks that Cangxi held in his hand were very exquisitely made. This is a pair of masks created by the predecessors in imitation of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, Cangxi didn't ask what the allusions were, but I just thought it looked good and chose these two.
Hearing Fu Xuanyue's words just now, Cangxi couldn't help but say: "The third young lady can't ask, why should the second young lady ask?" ”
After Fu Yuyue saw Cangxi, he was overjoyed and angry.
Happily, I met my sweetheart. The angry thing is that looking at the posture of King Xi, most of them came out with Fu porcelain tonight.
But when I think about it, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses. She couldn't lose her dignified and gentle image in front of King Xi because of Fu Ci, so she changed her smile and said: "The courtier is just joking a few words with the third sister, and I hope that the prince will forgive her sins." ”
Cangxi didn't look at Fu Xuanyu, and asked Fu Ci, "What did the second young lady tell you just now?" ”
Fu Ci glanced at Fu Xuanyue, her dignified and virtuous sister was glaring at her with a fierce gaze at this moment! Cangxi saw Fu Ci's hesitation, and then said: "It's okay for the third young lady to say it, I don't think the second young lady regards this king as an outsider, if you sisters are there, the second young lady will definitely not hide it from this king." ”
In fact, Cangxi didn't feel that Fu Ci's hesitation was caused by being afraid of Fu Xuanyu. Hesitation is just a cover, and a look of fear always makes people feel pity unconsciously.
However, Cangxi is by no means on Fu Ci's side every time because of pity for Fu Ci.
In his cognition, hating Fu Yuyue is an unconscious behavior that does not go through the brain!
"The second sister said that the prince is here to accompany his sister to visit the Lantern Festival today." Fu Ci stole and knocked on Cangxi's face, still as calm as before. On the other hand, Fu Xuanyue's side looked like he was eager to eat her.
Seeing this, seeing that Cangxi didn't speak, Fu Ci said again: "The courtiers don't know that the prince has also made an appointment with Her Royal Highness the princess, which is really disturbing." I also hope that the prince and princess will forgive their sins. ”
Fu Ci's use of the word "yet" is really intriguing.
It seems to look like an apology for doing something wrong, but in fact, it is hiding needles and tampering with the truth!
Obviously, Fu Ci came to make an appointment, but now that she has come to her mouth, she has become her own appointment. Cangxi looked at the two sisters who were fighting wits and courage, and finally chose to help a group of Fu Ci.
"This king doesn't remember dating the second miss, and the third miss really doesn't have to feel guilty." Cangxi said.
As he spoke, he turned behind Fu Ci and tied a mask to Fu Ci's face. The smile raised at the corner of Fu Ci's mouth, Fu Xuan didn't see it. However, through those bright eyes, Fu Xuanyue knew that in today's battle, he would lose and collapse.
"The courtiers are just joking with their sister, and please don't blame Prince Xi." Fu Xuanyue pulled out a smile and said, "Since the prince and the third sister still want to watch the lanterns together, Xuanyue will not bother." Fu Xuanyu said that he was about to turn around and retreat.
Cangxi didn't let go of Fu Yuyue so easily, and said, "What if this king must be blamed? ”
Hearing this, Fu Yuyue chuckled in his heart.
Is Cangxi really so ruthless?
It is really a sad thing to bump into your sweetheart and your enemy watching lanterns together. originally wanted to embarrass Fu Ci, but now she is asking her to rebel.
And what about your sweetheart?
In order to protect his enemies, he will not forgive himself!
Although his heart was bitter, Fu Yuyue couldn't have a seizure. So he turned around, bowed down and said: "The courtiers are abrupt, and I hope that the prince will forgive the sin." ”
Cangxi refused to stop there, "You shouldn't tell me this." ”
Cangxi held on to it like this, which Fu Yuyue didn't expect.
In the past, although this prince of Xi was a little colder, he had not yet achieved such a ruthless sake. Right now, in order to please Fu Ci, does Cangxi really want to ravage his heart repeatedly?
"My sister was confused for a while, and I still hope for the third sister Haihan." When Fu Xuanyue said this to Fu Ci, Fu Xuanyue didn't know what kind of mentality he had to endure humiliation so much.
A dignified princess even asked her to kneel down to a young lady on the street. Such humiliation is to be taken back.
Fu Ci didn't embarrass Fu anymore. There are already a lot of people on the street, and Fu Xuan's kneeling has already caused many people to look sideways. If he continues to mess around with his temperament and slaps Fu Yuyue's face, he will not be much better off in the future.
Thinking of this, Fu Ci went to hold Fu Xuanyue with both hands, "The second sister is serious." ”
Fu Xuanyue very skillfully dodged Fu Ci's outstretched hands, and stood up with the help of his maidservant.
After standing up, Fu Yuyue's first reaction was to quickly leave this place that made her embarrassed.
"In that case, I won't bother the two of you." As he spoke, Fu Xuan disappeared into this alley without looking back.
Seeing Fu Xuanyue walking away, Cangxi said: "Good performance." ”
Fu Ci was just about to take off his mask, but Cangxi pressed Fu Ci's hand and said, "Wouldn't it be shameless to take off the one that this king brought for you." ”
Fu Ci didn't insist anymore, sighed, and said, "It's just a matter of asking for a living." ”
Cangxi didn't know why Fu Ci had such a sigh.
Fu's concubine and the queen's nephew. This kind of identity is something that many people can't hope for, but in Fu Ci's mouth, it has become "begging for life". But thinking of the incident of Fu Ci being assassinated a while ago, Cangxi felt that what she said was appropriate.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this is not false at all.
"The prince treats me so well in front of the princess, is it to anger her?" Fu Ci asked.
Whether it is angry or sincere, Cangxi himself can't say.
He clearly knew that Fu Ci was pretending in front of him, whether it was pitiful or generous. In other words, the dignified and gentle Fu porcelain is also pretended. It's not so much pretending to be as nice as it is to say it - this is Fu Qian's teaching daughter, so that the third lady of the Fu family has a dignified demeanor and a gentle temperament that has been deeply engraved in her bones.
However, knowing that Fu Ci was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Cangxi couldn't help but think about helping her, especially when Fu Xuanyue bullied her. In Cangxi's heart, it was because of himself that Fu Yuyue made things difficult in every way. But Cangxi didn't know that the sisterhood between Fu Ci and Fu Yuyue had begun to slowly decrease from the day when Cangxi favored Fu Ci. Until now, the two have met like old enemies.
Despite thinking so, Cangxi still replied stiffly: "The third young lady is smart. ”
Hearing this, Fu Ci gasped. It seems that Lord Xi is really as desireless as rumored by the outside world?
What I originally thought was a love affair was nothing more than wishful thinking in the eyes of others; What I thought was true was just a pawn to suppress others in the eyes of others.
