Time passed in silence, and after writing a word, Duanmu Fei put away the pen, and then he remembered that she forgot to pour tea for Feng Yan, and hurriedly made up for it.

When she handed the teacup to Feng Yan, the corner of her eye suddenly noticed that he had a bamboo flute stuck in his waist.

Wait a minute.

Duanmu Scarlet flashed with a flash of inspiration, and he realized it when he landed.

I see.

No wonder the ancients said that if you have nothing to do, you must ask for something.

Is Feng Yan deliberately reminding himself of the purple bamboo flute?!

Duanmu Fei's gaze wandered for a moment, she had been very busy recently, and after roasting the bamboo, she put Zizhu on hold for the time being......

Duanmu cleared his throat, wanting to say that this purple bamboo flute may have to wait for a month or two, but before the words could be spoken, the curtain behind him was suddenly raised from the outside, accompanied by an affectionate voice:

"Four Girls ......"

The last word came out of the mouth, and it came to an abrupt end.

Duanmu Xian looked at the small study, his eyes were round, dumbfounded.

How could this stinky boy be here?!

Duanmu Xian was so shocked that he even forgot to put down the door curtain for a while, and stared at Feng Yan with wide eyes.

Hehe. Duanmu could only smile hard.

One, two, three......

When he reacted, he thought that he couldn't let people see Feng Yan, so he hurriedly entered the house and lowered the door curtain.

"Grandfather." Duanmufei hurriedly took two steps forward, and personally took Duanmuxian in, with a bright smile, "Why are you free?" ”

Feng Yanluo smiled generously, and gave Duanmu Xian a salute, and was very envious in his heart: Is Duanmu Xian on vacation, he is very idle every day, of course he is free, how can he be like himself, it is rare to squeeze out time to meet Zhen Zhen.

Duanmu Xian glared at him fiercely, glared at him, glared at him...... I can't wait to burn two holes in Feng Yan's face.

Feng Yan didn't seem to be aware of it, and arched his hand at Duanmu Xian with a smile, "Grandfather, then I'll leave first." ”

The corners of Duanmuxian's eyes twitched, and there were 10,000 horses roaring past in his heart.

What is this called?

Duanmuxian wanted to shout to catch the thief, wanted to scold him for being stinky and shameless, and wanted to slap this stinky boy.

However, he didn't have time to do anything, Feng Yan had already put his right hand on the window sill, jumped out of the window with agility, then climbed to the tree, and then jumped to the fence......

The corners of Duanmu Xian's eyes twitched again, and he knew how this stinky boy sneaked into his mansion.

No, he has to quickly change a group of better guards to the mansion!

That's right, he's just idle, anyway, so it's just tomorrow, no, he'll go and tell the chief steward about finding a new guard later.

Duanmu Xian secretly made up his mind in his heart, didn't dare to face his little granddaughter, and said seriously: "Four girls, this stinky boy is unruly, frivolous and crazy, you don't pay attention to him." ”

"If he sneaks into the house again, you should quickly have someone tell your grandfather, and grandfather will teach him a lesson!"

Looking at the familiar appearance of that stinky boy just now, Duanmu Xian knew that Feng Yan's kid might not have slipped in for the first time.

"Grandfather sits." Duanmu Fei very obediently asked Duanmu Xian to sit down, smiled sweetly and cutely, and secretly said in her heart: She doesn't dare!

Duanmu Fei diligently poured flower tea for Duanmu Xian, sent it to Duanmu Xian, and coquettishly changed the topic: "Grandfather, I went to Xiangyun Lane yesterday, my grandmother and aunt like Hanxing, and they can't do without her in ten sentences." ”

Duanmu Xian couldn't help but show his face when he heard this, but then he used the action of drinking flower tea to cover up his gaffe, and said, "Of course your cousin Hanxing is likable!" ”

That's his granddaughter, her temperament and appearance are like her five points, can she not be likable?

Thinking of the Li family, Duanmuxian inevitably thought of Li Tingyou, in fact, he was not very satisfied with Li Tingyou, but he could barely make up and be his grandson-in-law.

Hey—

Emperor, I'm getting more and more confused, not only confused in court affairs, but also likes to mess around with mandarin duck scores, the four girls are, and Hanxing is...... and Sister Qi'er's marriage too!

Thinking of the juniors' marriage, Duanmuxian felt a headache on his forehead, and really wanted to find You Junji to learn from him, did they have such a twist and turn in finding a daughter-in-law or son-in-law for the juniors?

Why is it their turn to the Duanmu family, is it so unsmooth?!

Duanmuxian rubbed his eyebrows, and asked about Duanmujun again: "Fourth girl, didn't I ask you to ask your sister last time to ask if she had a crush?" ”

Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Scarlet expectantly, his eyes burning.

"......" Duanmu pursed his lips, and his smile was a little subtle.

It's about my sister's family affairs, of course Duanmu Fei didn't forget it, but she didn't knock on the side, she asked her sister directly.

She asked calmly, and Duanmujun also answered generously, without wandering or covering up.

It's a sister.

Duanmu Fei secretly said in his heart, and truthfully relayed to Duanmu Xian: "Sister said, wait until I get married." ”

This answer, which may sound a little perfunctory to others, made Duanmu Xian overjoyed, and said again and again: "Okay! Good! ”

From the front, whenever Mu Xian mentioned her family affairs to Duanmu Jun, she always said that she would not marry in the future, and even deliberately bought a house next door to the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, with a posture of "waiting for my sister to live there for a long time after she gets married".

But this time is different.

This time, Sister Jun'er's answer sounded vague, but there were signs of relaxation.

Could it be that Mrs. Li really guessed correctly, Sister Jun actually has a sweetheart?

So who the hell could it be?!

Duanmu Xian was a little itchy, picked up the teacup for a while, and put it down for a while, his thoughts flew uncontrollably:

In fact, if Sister Jun is not worried about the four girls, she can also set up a family affair before marrying later.

Otherwise, what if this is someone else's son who looks nameless and has no share, and runs away?!

As long as the marriage is set, you can watch it for her, and people can't run away, and it's not up to you to decide which day the wedding date will be.

The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more excited he became, he originally felt that he was idle and panicked this vacation, but now he suddenly felt that there were a lot of things at home.

He had to hurry up and take advantage of the vacation to finalize the marriage of Sister Jun and Brother Heng.

Duanmu Xian planned ambitiously in his heart, and looked at the jasmine flowers blooming in the flower tea, and he was in a good mood.

Seeing that Duanmu Xian had diverted his attention, Duanmu Fei still breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: Grandfather finally didn't bother with the matter of Feng Yan anymore.

But......

When Duanmu put the tea cup to his lips, he subconsciously crooked his little face, strange, and always felt that something was wrong.

Forget it, since you can't think of it, it's not very important to think about it, and sooner or later you'll figure it out.

Duanmu said to himself in his heart.

Duanmu Xian was thinking about the marriage of his grandchildren ambitiously, but unfortunately, he obviously didn't want him to rest so comfortably.

On the 10th day of the first month of June, Wei Yongxin once again folded his bullet to impeach Duanmu Xian, the first assistant, and reprimanded him for his sinister intentions and took advantage of the opportunity of his granddaughter to raise silver taels for the northern border, and went on a large scale of corruption.

In the court, there was a quarrel again, and people from all sides expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.

However, because Duanmuxian was not present and Cen Yin did not express his position for a long time, more people began to choose to wait and see.

The emperor still didn't say anything, and the entire early dynasty could almost be said to be like gold, but that kind of unsafe aura had been naturally released without words.

The hundred officials in the Jinluan Palace only need to get along with the emperor for a while, compared to the concubines and slaves in this palace, they all hold their breath and act cautiously.

On 11 June, Wei Yongxin impeached Duanmuxian for the third time.

This time, Duanmu Xian still did not come forward, but he sent someone to the palace to present an account book after the early dynasty.

The emperor received the account books of the Duanmu family, but he didn't read it, and the news spread among the various prefectures in Beijing under the propaganda of well-intentioned people, and the emperor's attitude was really incomprehensible.

Some people think that the emperor is tired of Duanmuxian, so he doesn't even bother to read the account books; Some people think that the emperor still believes in Duanmuxian, so Wei Yongxin was impeached three times, but the emperor did not condemn Duanmuxian; There are also people who think that the emperor cherishes his talents, and he is waiting for Duanmu Xian's ancestors to ask for guilt......

In short, there are different opinions and speculations.

On the same day, Duanmu Fei entered the palace, Han Xing has been detained by the concubine recently because of marriage, and he has not slipped out of the palace to play.

The palace maid was fanning the wind slowly, and Han Xing was drowsy, until Linglong suddenly came: "Your Highness, the fourth girl of Duanmu is here!" ”

Han Xing, who was still leaning on the beauty couch, jumped up in an instant, and the sleepy insect was swept away, as if he had taken some kind of panacea, and he was in good spirits.

"Scarlet cousin, even if you have a conscience, you still remember this palace!"

As soon as Han Xing saw Duanmufei enter the side hall, he immediately greeted her and grabbed her arm, making love, not expecting Duanmufei to suddenly enter the palace and give her an unexpected surprise.

Han Xing was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the palace maid to serve tea, snacks, melons and fruits, sugar water and sherbet, and after a while, a table was full, and everything was chilled.

Duanmu Fei looked at the dazzling array of melons and fruits, and his eyes were bright.

Seeing Duanmu Fei's happy appearance, Han Xing said triumphantly: "Cousin Scarlet, you see that these are the newly developed dim sum sugar water in the imperial dining room this summer. ”

"This 'milk ice' is milky and delicious, with candied fruit and jam; this cold water lychee paste is added with black plum, cinnamon, sugar, musk, ginger, and cooked honey, but there is no lychee, but it has a lychee flavor, and it tastes cold and cold; And this 'Ice and Snow Cold Yuanzi' is fragrant, sweet and frosty......"

"You try the taste, if you like it, the palace will ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to get it."

Han Xing looked at Duanmu Fei with a flattering face, Linglong and Congzhen on the side knew their master, and heard the meaning of the fourth princess: In fact, there are still many advantages in the palace!

Duanmu Fei only didn't understand the seduction in Han Xing's eyes, no matter how many advantages there are in the palace, it can't be as terrible as a study.

"Cousin Hanxing, look at this." Duanmu Fei took out a palm-sized bronze medal from the purse on his waist, put it on the table, and pushed it straight to Hanxing.

"Scarlet cousin, you've done a really good job with this 'merit card'!" Han Xing grabbed the bronze medal and played with it with love, his eyes were as bright as stars, "The Vermilion Bird on this is a pattern drawn by you, right?" Han Xing said with great certainty.

Duanmu said with a smile: "I deliberately found someone to play dozens of bronze medals of this kind, but any girl who has donated money and food to the north will give one piece." Although it doesn't mean anything, it is also a little evidence for everyone to contribute to the north. ”

The more Han Xing looked at this bronze medal, the happier he became, and secretly wondered if he could dig out some things from the old jewelry box when he was a child, and then give them to Duanmu Fei without the seal of the Inner Court Division.

"Scarlet cousin, in a few days, when the palace is resting, I will go out of the palace to help you." Han Xing said very enthusiastically, thinking that this time she would go to the pawnshop in person, and she hadn't entered the pawnshop yet.

Duanmu nodded frequently and breathed a sigh of relief.

For Duanmu Fei, as long as Han Xing doesn't let her live in the palace, even if Han Xing wants to live in Duanmu's house, she won't be a problem!

After the cousins made up their minds, they ate sweet water and commented on the advantages and disadvantages from time to time.

Accidentally, the two of them ate too much and had bulging stomachs.

"Cousin Scarlet, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden." Han Xing proposed, "Recently, a new batch of fish from Minzhou came to a pond in the Imperial Garden, and I heard that they are fish from the West!" This fish is very good-looking, and the main palace looks different from the fish in our Central Plains......"

It was a hot day, and after Duanmu Fei entered Micuizhai, she didn't want to go out at all, but when she heard Hanxing talking, she was aroused a little interested.

She hasn't seen any fish from the West yet!

Western clocks, watches, music boxes, boats in bottles, dogs and cats, etc., are all beautiful, interesting and fresh, and I don't know what this Western fish looks like.

The more Duanmu Fei thought about it, the more itchy he became, so he responded.

In this palace, it is much more elaborate than outside the palace, and now that the sun is big outside, two chamberlains immediately ran to hold up a canopy for the two girls to block the sun.

The two cousins laughed and walked hand in hand to the Imperial Garden.

When they came to the Imperial Garden, they found that the two water pavilions by the lake were surrounded by bamboo curtains, and through the gap between the bamboo curtains and the bamboo curtains, they could see that there were people inside.

And this person is also wearing a bright yellow that only emperors can wear, and the identity of this person is self-evident.

Since they met the emperor by chance, Han Xing and Duanmu Fei would not deliberately avoid it, and walked towards the water pavilion generously.

When a palace maid saw the fourth princess coming, she hurriedly reported it and opened the curtain for the two of them.

When the bamboo curtain was raised, Han Xing and Duanmu Fei saw that not only the emperor was in the water pavilion, but Wen Yongju was also there.

Since the Holy Driver returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, Wen Yongju seemed to have regained his favor, and he has been serving the emperor at close quarters for several months.

Of course, Hanxing also knew and was not surprised.

"See Father (Emperor)."

The two little girls obediently and skillfully curtsied to the emperor.

Seeing the two little girls, the emperor hooked his lips and smiled, "Get up." He lingered on Duanmu Fei's body with a somewhat scrutinizing gaze for a moment.

Duanmu Fei met the emperor's deep gaze, and his delicate and cute little face was still smiling.

Once this face made the emperor think she was innocent and cute, but now that the emperor looked at this face again, Wei Yongxin's words echoed in his mind: "Your Majesty, the fourth girl of Duanmu is Feng Yan's fiancée." ”

These days, the emperor would think of this sentence from time to time, even in a dream.

The emperor had to wonder if Duanmufei was not as naïve as she appeared, whether what she was doing had another ulterior motive, and whether she was helping An Ping and Feng Yan buy the hearts of the people.

The corners of the emperor's lips were still smiling, but there was a deep abyss in those slightly cloudy eyes.

Wen Yongju served by the emperor's side during this time, and he saw the emperor's heart disease in his eyes, and he was secretly proud in his heart: the emperor's character was best known to them, and they seemed to be easy-going, but in fact they were the most suspicious.

And this doubt is like a seed, once planted in the bottom of the heart, it will slowly sprout and slowly grow.

Duanmu Fei relied on Cen Yin to support her and was pampered and proud, but she didn't know that this kind of "favor" was a double-edged knife, once the time came, not only would it hurt their Duanmu family, but it would also drag Cen Yin, the so-called "righteous brother", into the water.

Wei Yongxin's move worked as he expected!

It's not over yet!

Wen Yongju seemed to have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smug smile.

The emperor asked Hanxing and Duanmu Fei to sit down, and the palace maid hurriedly served herbal tea to the masters.

"Little girl," the emperor asked while playing with the cold porcelain cup in his hand, looking at Duanmu Fei casually, "How is your silver raised?" ”

Duanmu Fei arched his little hand and said to the emperor: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers have already raised 100,000 taels." ”

As he spoke, Duanmu raised his delicate chin, with a smug smile on the corner of his lips.

It's only 100,000 taels?!

The emperor moved his eyebrows, a little surprised.

At first, he heard Wei Yongxin's righteous words fold the impeachment, and kept saying that Duanmu Fei had connected so many families in the capital to raise money to buy grain and grass to support the northern border, and made such a big noise, and then denounced Duanmu Xian for corruption and forming a party for personal gain, what a big deal he thought!

As a result, it's only 100,000 taels?!

Just for 100,000 taels of silver, it is worth him Wei Yongxin jumping up and down in the court like this for half a month?!

Duanmu Fei seemed to be unaware of the emperor's surprise, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and continued: "Your Majesty, most of this silver was made up by several boudoir sisters of the courtiers, and everyone took out the fat powder money and private silver, and later there were several girls from the mansion who heard that I raised money and food for the north and also came to the door to make up a little for me, but the total was less than 100,000 taels, so the courtiers asked my grandfather for more than 1,000 taels, and made up a whole number. ”

Duanmu Fei's little face was filled with a bright smile, as delicate and cute as a summer flower, and he looked complacent.

"Actually, my grandfather originally said that the courtiers were fooling around!" Duanmu Fei said a little embarrassedly, "It was still the courtier's daughter who coaxed my grandfather to play chess, and won more than 1,000 taels from my grandfather, so I got 100,000 taels." ”

The more Duanmu Fei spoke, the more proud he became, and his eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky.

Looking at her innocent and lovely appearance, the emperor slowly fanned the folding fan in his hand, the more he fanned, the slower and slower, and his expression showed a little thoughtfulness.

Wen Yongju looked at the emperor's expression and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, what did he want to say, but the matter of raising food was a matter in the court, if he helped Wei Yongxin speak at this time, I am afraid that the emperor would feel that he had colluded with Wei Yongxin, that is just stealing chickens and not eating rice......

Han Xing listened to Duanmu Fei's eloquent words, and also felt honored, and said mysteriously: "Father, do you see this? ”

Han Xing took out a palm-sized bronze medal from his sleeve pocket, sent it to the emperor, and proudly showed off: "Erchen donated a lot of jewelry. ”

Congzhen behind Hanxing lowered his eyes silently, and it was a little difficult to say anything about the sincerity of the fourth princess.

Fourth princess, you are a princess, the dignified princess sells jewelry, is this really good?!

The emperor casually played with Hanxing's bronze medal, looked at the Vermilion Bird pattern and lettering engraved on it, and casually boasted: "This brand is well carved, but it imitates the meritorious card?" ”

Duanmu nodded straight, his eyes brightened, like a child who had been praised, and flattered the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are really as wise as a torch!" Then he pointed to the back of the bronze medal and said, "The imperial court's medal is engraved with a green dragon, and the courtiers drew a vermilion bird. ”

The emperor couldn't help but nod his head when he looked at the wings fluttering on the rose-red bronze medal.

This girl has put a lot of thought into it, this brand is much more beautiful and exquisite than the imperial court's merit card, and it is no wonder that Han Xing is so happy when he receives such a bronze medal.

The emperor shook the folding fan in one hand and played with the bronze medal in the other, and asked casually, "Who else has also donated?" ”

Duanmu Fei counted his fingers and said, counting them one by one from Wuyang, Yunhua, Dangui, Lan Tingyun, etc., even Ji Lanzhou also said, and by the way, he also reported the amount of silver donated by everyone.

It's really all petty fights. The emperor's eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and his eyes became gentle and soothing.

Han Xing listened dumbfounded, and muttered, "Cousin Scarlet, you have such a good memory!" I remember so many numbers, hey, obviously my grandfather is good at arithmetic, Cousin Heng and you are also like grandfathers, others say that the Duanmu family is good at arithmetic, how can it be the turn of this palace! ”

The emperor was very amused when she heard this, put away the folding fan, and gently tapped the handle of the fan on her daughter's head, "Is your surname Duanmu?" ”

Seeing that Duanmu Fei had resolved the emperor's knot in just a few words, Wen Yongju was even more anxious, and his hard work was about to be destroyed by Duanmu Fei, a stinky girl.

This little girl always looks innocent, but in fact, she is scheming, otherwise how could she coax the eldest princess and the fourth princess to her, and even Cen Yin recognized her as a righteous sister and loved her very much, today he knows how powerful this girl is!

Wen Yongju felt that his heart was like a cluster of flames burning and tormenting, and a voice in his heart was saying: No, he can't just look at Duanmu Scarlet and fool the past.

He had to do something!

Wen Yongju's eyes flashed with a fierce cold glow, and when he raised his head, there was a smile on his sharp face, and he smiled casually: "The fourth girl of Duanmu is really capable!" It's really a shame to be able to donate money to such a mansion in Beijing, and our family has lived for half a lifetime! ”

He smiled and arched his hand at Duanmu Fei, looking very admiring, and his tone implicitly induced the emperor to think about Duanmu Fei's backer.

Han Xing frowned slightly.

She didn't hear the meaning of Wen Yongju's words, but she keenly felt that the words of this Gonggong Wen sounded uncomfortable.

"Presumptuous!" Han Xing has always acted recklessly, but he will not give Wen Yongju face, and scolded in a coquettish voice, "Didn't you hear my father talking to my cousin in this palace and my cousin?!" Who are you, and there is no room for you to interject here! ”

"......" Wen Yongju's face stiffened, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was very ashamed, but the emperor was in front, and it was not his turn to be a eunuch to teach his daughter instead of the emperor.

Wen Yongju lowered his head, looking like he was punishing a crime, but he thought hatefully in his heart: If this is Cen Yin, can these princes and princesses dare to speak to Cen Yin like this?! In the final analysis, these princes and princesses are just picking up the high and stepping on the low!

Duanmu Fei glanced up at Wen Yongju, who was standing behind the emperor, his face was still smiling, a pair of shallow pear vortices appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded and boasted: "Yes, my popularity has always been good!" ”

The eyes of the two looked at each other in mid-air for a moment, and Wen Yongju vaguely read a meaning in the eyes of the little girl, her popularity is naturally better than him!

After just a short breath, Duanmu Fei immediately moved his gaze down again, looked at the emperor who was only separated from her by a stone table, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, although the courtiers are just the daughters of the boudoir, and they can't go to the battlefield and kill the enemy like the men of my Dasheng Dynasty, but the courtiers are not people who are indulged in pleasure and greedy for comfort, and they also hope to do their part for Dasheng and the north!" ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Fei's little face was radiant, and his skin seemed to be covered with a faint halo.

In the previous sentence, she also said righteous words, and the next moment she pursed her lips a little shyly, and added: "Although it is just a little fat powder money......

Wen Yongju's face was even more ugly, his fist was clenched tightly into a fist on the side of his body, and he secretly said in his heart: This girl from the Duanmu family is really cunning!
