Chapter 20: Flower Dynasty XIV
After the ceremony of worshipping the god of flowers during the Flower Dynasty Festival, everyone went back to the dormitory to prepare to pack up and go back to Beijing.
My brother sent someone to tell me that I would go home with him in his sedan car.
I'm not in a hurry to go back. After everyone left the Ronghua Palace, I asked Yuebai to help me go around the mountains.
β
It's been two or three days since I came to Qishan, and I've been busy dealing with those ladies and ladies, and I haven't seen the mountain flowers all over the mountains yet.
We came to a small pavilion in the Lotus Garden and sat down.
In previous years, when I came to Qishan to worship the god of flowers, I lived in Linhe Garden. The lotus garden also has the most female dependents.
I stood in the pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking at the lotus leaves all over the lake, the lotus blooming season is in the summer, and at this time I can only see the young buds of the stars.
There is a wind in Qishan, blowing the corners of my clothes.
Yuebai stepped forward and said, "Miss, why don't we go back to Taoyuan first." You still have injuries on your legs, and the wind is strong in Qishan, so don't catch a cold again. β
I shook my head, insisting on staying a little longer.
Yuebai couldn't resist me, so she had to accompany me to continue blowing the wind.
My heart is in a lot of turmoil, and I don't know what I'm messing up about, and there are so many things that have happened in the past few days that I can't be clean.
I have always resisted marrying King Jing before, but the contact in the past two days has given me an unprecedented experience.
I was disturbed by a thousand sorrows, and it was difficult for me to calm down. What annoyed me was King Jing's attitude, as if his attitude towards me had changed greatly overnight, and he was still very resistant to me that day on the Mingyue Tower.
"Qingqing-" When I heard the reputation, it turned out that Sister Ruilan saw me under the pavilion.
"Sister Ruilan." When I saw her come up, I greeted her, "What? The big guys are packing their luggage and preparing the car, but my sister is so idle? β
Sister Ruilan said with a smile: "The house sent a few grandmothers to clean up for me, so that I can go out for a walk with Xiao'er." β
She took my hand with concern and asked, "Are your legs and feet better?" β
I nodded and said, "It's not a big deal, just rest for a while." β
Sister Ruilan sighed and said, "Although you can't severely punish Zhao Peiyu, the mastermind behind the scenes, it's good to return your innocence." After all, as a daughter's family, sometimes reputation is more important than life. β
I have a deep understanding that I have already become the target of public criticism by marrying King Jing, if I have a reputation for misconduct as a bewitching master, even if Concubine Mei protects me again, no matter how powerful my family is, it can't withstand the gossip.
I nodded.
Sister Ruilan patted me on the back to appease me, and said, "I heard that Concubine Mei appreciates you very much, but did you ever say when you will get married?" When the time comes, I will give birth to a few fat dolls and let my sister take them to play hahaha."
When I said this, my face turned red, and I said angrily, "My sister makes fun of my sister." β
I suddenly thought of something, and deliberately asked, "Lord Qin and my aunt have ever married my sister?" β
I stared at Sister Ruilan with a look of not being too big to see the excitement.
Sister Ruilan has always been thin-skinned, and when she heard this, she blushed and said angrily, "I'm talking about you." You're making fun of your sister. β
When I saw her like this, I looked at Xiao'er behind her and asked, "Xiao'er, have Lord Qin and Aunt Qin married your young lady?" β
Xiao'er is also not a big deal, she covered her mouth and smiled, and looked at Sister Ruilan.
My sister immediately gave her a look, but Xiao'er pretended not to see it, and said to me with a smile: "The old lady in the house is not worried about the marriage of the young lady." But Miss has a high vision, and the master has introduced several rare talents to Yiqun, but Miss hasn't looked down on any of them. Catch up with Ming'er, wait for Miss Liang to get married, and it would be good if you could ask the prince to introduce a few young talents. β
"Xiao'er! It's getting more and more unruly! Sister Ruilan said angrily, pretending to fight Xiao'er.
Xiao'er stuck out her tongue, ducked from my side, and said, "That's right." That Yang Gongzi and Liu Gongzi are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and Mrs. likes them very much, but Miss thinks that people are not good, so she picks and chooses in private. β
"You little girl, you're getting more and more unruly!"
I smiled and stopped Sister Ruilan and said, "On weekdays, I look at Lord Qin and my aunt who are not in a hurry, but I never thought that they would also be in a hurry, but my sister is too worry-free. β
Sister Ruilan is several years older than me, and I grew up with her when I was a child, and the two of us are always in shape together.
Sister Ruilan didn't annoy me when she heard me say this, but just said: "Do you think everyone has such a good life as you, my father and brother are in a high position, there are countless good men for you to choose from, and now he is also married by the saint to marry King Jing." β
I saw that she might be a little concerned, so I took her hand and shook it coquettishly: "Oops~ I just said a few words~"
Sister Ruilan ate me the most, she looked at me, and immediately laughed, tapped the tip of my nose, and I took the opportunity to ask, "What kind of boy does my sister like?" If I can get to know you, I can introduce you to a match. β
When I asked, Sister Ruilan thought about it carefully: "My favorite boy doesn't need to be too smart, he doesn't need to be too rich, and his family background doesn't need to be too high. But you must know how to be good to me, you can know some martial arts, and you can protect me. Be self-motivated and be able to distinguish between good and evil. The main thing is ......," she bowed her head and smiled shyly, "I pray, for a lifetime, for a couple." β
I was shocked by these words, and this is also my lifelong wish for marriage.
From this, I thought that Qi Jingqin had treated me so carefully and thoughtfully in the past few days, and I dispelled my previous worries.
"Huh? Isn't that General Wei Shen? How did he get here? Yuebai said suddenly.
We looked in the direction of her finger, and the man who was walking by the lake in a black brocade dress looking stupid was not Wei Shen?
Xu is brother has something to do, so he asked Wei Shen to look for me, but Wei Shen only cares about walking forward, how can he see me on the pavilion without squinting.
I yelled, "Wei-deep-"
Yuebai shouted: "Wei-Shen-Xiao-General-Army-"
After shouting for a long time, Wei Shen heard it, he stopped and looked around, still not knowing who was calling him where.
I was amused by his stunned appearance, and I pulled Sister Ruilan to complain: "Sister Ruilan, look at it......"
Sister Ruilan was taken aback by my pull, and I realized that as soon as Wei Shen appeared, Sister Ruilan kept staring at him, and now she was distracted when she saw him.
I smiled maliciously and said, "Sister Ruilan... Aren't you? β
Sister Ruilan came back to her senses, and when she saw me asking her this, she quickly turned her back to me and said, "You should put more effort into reading." Cheng Tianjing said something that he didn't have. β
Hmph, every time you say that you can't talk about me, you let me study more, and I still can't see your little bit of caution?
I leaned on the wooden railing, waved at Wei Shen, and shouted, "HereβWei Shenβlook hereβhereβthe pavilion hereβ"
The stupid Wei Shen turned around several times before he saw someone on the pavilion, and he shouted, "Is it Miss-"
I'm really going to lose to him, I don't have the strength to shout anymore, Yuebai hurriedly stepped forward: "It's us-you come here-"
Wei Shen answered, and went around in a big circle before boarding the pavilion.
As soon as he came up, he saluted me with a solemn expression: "The last general, Wei Shen, see Miss." General Liang wants to escort Princess Niangniang back to the palace with the Imperial Forest Army first, so he specially sent me to pick you up and return to the palace. β
I didn't care about this, so Sister Larrylan came to him and said, "Come, I'll introduce you." This is Qin Ruilan, the daughter of Lord Qin, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and is my best Ruilan sister. β
Wei Shen's performance was expected by me, he was stunned for a moment, and looked down at Sister Ruilan without squinting: "Wei Shen has seen Miss Qin." β
I smiled and introduced Wei Shen to Sister Ruilan, and said, "Na." Sister, let me introduce you to it. This is a general under my father and brother, known as General Wei Shen. β
My tone was a little exaggerated, and Yuebai and Xiao'er both covered their mouths and smiled.
Sister Ruilan was also amused, and returned the salute to Wei Shen: "I've seen General Wei." β
I saw that Sister Ruilan's expression was a little shy, so I deliberately quipped with bad intentions: "Sister...... Shhh β
As if she was afraid that I would say something I shouldn't say, Sister Ruilan secretly stretched out a hand from her sleeve to pinch my waist.
Wei Shen looked at us with an unnatural expression.
Since I can't make fun of Sister Ruilan, then Wei Shen, the retainer in our house, can't I make fun of it?
So I looked at Wei Shen and smiled, Wei Shen looked up at me, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Miss... But the mountain wind is too strong, and the wind is confused? β
Wei Shen has always spoken straightforwardly, and I don't care much about him, and when I want to say something, I don't know when Qi Qi will come to the pavilion.
He seemed to be running, he was still out of breath when he came up, and Yuebai asked with concern: "You slow down." What's the hurry? β
We all looked at Qiqi, who rested for a while before saluting me and saying, "I have been calling you by the lake for a long time, why haven't any of you taken care of me?" β
Just now, I was busy with Sister Ruilan and Wei Shen, how could I listen to you call me.
Before I could answer, Yuebai accosted him one step ahead of me: "You just come over when you see us, and you won't leave for a while, see if you are tired." β
I looked at the two of them meaningfully, and the corners of my mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
I asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Only then did Qi Qi remember what was going on, and said, "I almost forgot to run." Miss Liang, our prince is waiting for you in Taoyuan and invites you back to Beijing. β
I said, "No. Go back and tell the prince that my brother has asked Wei Shen to prepare a sedan car to pick me up. β
Qi Qi said: "No, Miss, my lord asked me to invite you back together, you have a lot of adults, just take pity on me, just follow me for a while." I can't do such a trivial thing, and I will be punished when I go back! β
I don't know how much favor Yuebai has received from others, so she actually spoke to outsiders: "Miss, otherwise let's go back with the prince's sedan chair." Didn't you come in that sedan car when you came before? β
I looked at them and hesitated for a moment.
Suddenly, a plan came to mind, and he smiled: "That's okay, I'll go back with the prince." β
Wei Shen asked, "That?" So what am I going to do here? β
I turned to look at Sister Ruilan and asked with a smile, "Is there a sedan car in my sister's house?" β
Sister Ruilan didn't know what I meant, so she just looked at me and didn't speak.
Xiao'er is a clever person, she hurriedly smiled: "The sedan chair in the house is just right for those grandmothers, if you take me and Miss again, I'm afraid that the bumps on the road will make people a little uncomfortable." β
I winked at Xiao'er and said with a smile: "Then Sister Ruilan will be sent back by Wei Shen." Anyway, there is one more car, and there are more cars, so it is better to let you use them. β
I pretended to be solemn and told Wei Shen: "You have to send Sister Ruilan to the Shilang Mansion safely, if there is a slight difference, I will ask you!" β
Wei Shen clenched his fists and took his life.
I went to Taoyuan to meet Qi Jingqin with Yuebai and Qi Qi.
I got off the pavilion, walked by the lotus pond, and secretly went to look at Sister Ruilan and Wei Shen on the pavilion, secretly happy in my heart.
