"The imperial concubine has arrived!"

As the sharp shouts of a small chamberlain sounded, Yeluchen came with some palace maids and chamberlains.

Ye Luchen had already changed into a dress again, a fiery red one, as delicate as a flame, so gorgeous and magnificent in the sun.

All the girls looked towards Yeluchen and came forward to salute her.

Ye Luchen sat down casually on one of the prince's chairs at the top, his slightly raised chin and straight waist revealing a hint of high taste, and let the girls play by themselves at will.

Soon, a crisp pipa sound came with the evening breeze, and I saw that there was an extra musician playing the pipa under the willow tree not far away, and another palace maid came over with a big red sprinkling gold fold, saying that this was the repertoire of pipa storytelling, and asked the nobles to order the repertoire by themselves.

After Duanmu glanced at the fold, his eyes flashed.

"Huh? There's my favorite "Hibiscus Fan"! Duanmu Fei smiled overjoyed, "Third Miss Chu, have you heard of "Hibiscus Fan"? This is a new play of Jiusi Class this year, and I ...... with An last month The second aunt went to see this play together. Duanmu Fei's tone was a little unnatural, and he changed his words halfway, and then nodded the third fold of "Hibiscus Fan" with a smile.

Chu Qingyu was originally a little careless about listening to the book, but when she noticed Duanmu's awkward words, her brows moved thoughtfully.

She remembered that Duanmufei's second aunt should have been released to Yuzhou with her husband, so how could she accompany her to the play.

The "An" that Duanmufei blurted out just now didn't he want to say "Anping's eldest princess"?

Thinking that Duanmu Fei was so close to the eldest princess of Anping that they even made an appointment with each other to go to the theater outside to watch the play, the corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth suddenly stiffened, and he soon smiled casually.

"I really haven't seen this play, so I'll order the second fold." Chu Qingyu said with a smile, and beckoned the third girl on the left to order the first fold.

"It's all three folds, now I can listen to all "Hibiscus Fan"." Duanmu smiled and clasped his hands.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei was in a good mood, Chu Qingyu pretended to ask casually: "Fourth girl Duanmu, do you often go to the theater with Aunt Ling?" ”

Chu Qingyu really took the bait he threw and took the bait! Duanmu Fei said secretly in his heart, silent on the surface, biting a piece of red bean cake and responding vaguely, his eyes flashing with a sly light.

Next, just wait for Chu Qingyu to set her words.

The fold turned in the hands of the girls around for most of the time, and the air sounded with the witty rap of the musician, who sang "Mulan in the Army" and "Mu Guiying in Command" before it was the turn of "Hibiscus Fan".

This "Hibiscus Fan" is about the dragon girl of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea who met a young man when she went to the mortal world to play, and the two soon fell in love.

After the two became husband and wife, the dragon woman knew that her husband was the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea Dragon Palace.

The East China Sea Dragon Palace and the East China Sea Dragon Palace have always been at odds, and they have been enemies for hundreds of years, so the two had to elope secretly and give birth to a son, Nianhai.

However, the lifelong affair between the dragon girl and the dragon of the West Sea was finally discovered by the dragon king of the East China Sea, and the dragon king of the East China Sea forcibly broke up the lover of the flounder and angrily pressed the dragon girl under the sea and mountain of the East China Sea......

When they heard this, many girls by the lake felt the same way, or angry, sad, or embarrassed.

Duanmufei was eating pastries, while observing Chu Qingyu without a trace, and did not talk to her, but just sighed to himself for a while that the dragon girl actually gave away a treasure like a hibiscus fan, and then indignantly said that the dragon king was ruthless, and then sighed that the two were in love......

Chu Qingyu's expression also changed with the development of the plot, and he seemed to feel it...... When she heard that Nian Hai was twelve years old and rushed to the East China Sea with a hibiscus fan to save her mother, she bit her lower lip and suddenly asked, "Fourth girl Duanmu, Aunt Ling...... Do you like this play with the girl? ”

"yes." Duanmu Fei nodded, his eyes were shining and he looked at the musician in front of him, as if he was still listening attentively, and said casually, "We have watched it several times in a row, and we never get tired of watching it, and my aunt also said that life is like a play." ”

Chu Qingyu's eyelids were half drooping, hiding the thoughtfulness in her eyes, and her heart was racing: Could it be that the eldest princess of Anping likes this play so much because her current situation has a subtle similarity with this play?

So, is the eldest princess of Anping ......

Chu Qingyu vaguely had a certain thought, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Fourth girl Duanmu, what do you think of this third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea?" I look at him very badly, I haven't tried to save the dragon girl in 12 years......"

Duanmufei's eyes widened, and he said disapprovingly: "How could it be! The third prince of the Dragon King is also a last resort, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is so strong, he is also in order to keep the peace of the two seas, in order to keep the Nianhai, so he endures the humiliation. Miss Chu San, if you listen to it a few more times like us, you will understand the deep meaning of this play. Duanmu Fei looked like he was earnestly teaching.

"Really?" Chu Qingyu's expression became more complicated, and she wanted to ask the other party if the "we" she said in her mouth meant her and An Ping, and she wanted to ask An Ping if she thought the same way, but after all, she held back and muttered, "I just think that the 'position' is different, so the two of them are destined not to be all the way!" ”

Chu Qingyu picked up the tea cup on the side to hide the abnormality on his face.

She was almost sure of her guess.

The eldest princess of Anping is afraid that she will never forget her old feelings for Feng Yuma, but it is only because she is afraid of the emperor that she has to live separately from Feng Yuma.

Then, Anping, who died at the hands of a colt in his previous life, is too pitiful!

What a pity for the infatuated girl in the world!

Chu Qingyu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a complex emotion mixed with pity and contempt flashed in his eyes, he calmed down, continued to ponder, and thought about it carefully, Feng Yan thought that he also knew Anping's thoughts about the horse, right?

Therefore, he ran to Feng Yan to imply that Feng Yan's plan was wrong, which caused Feng Yan's displeasure......

I made the wrong move! Chu Qingyu was annoyed in his heart.

Duanmu Fei was also drinking tea, and the corners of his lips pursed a meaningful arc, knowing that Chu Qingyu wanted to use the third prince of the Dragon King to test Anping's attitude towards Feng Yuzhi.

It's time to go further.

At this time, Rakuki had already sung about the scene when Nian Hai defeated the Dragon King of the East China Sea with a hibiscus fan, rescued his mother, and reunited a family of three.

Chu Qingyu sipped the hot tea absentmindedly, and Duanmu's sneering voice came from his ears again: "The third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea has been waiting for the dragon girl for more than ten years, and he has finally come to the end of his life, and he has waited for this day of reunion." In the future, when a family of three is together, the days will be complete! As he spoke, Duanmu Fei looked at Chu Qingyu and asked, "Third Miss Chu, did you say that?" ”

Chu Qingyu pursed his lips mockingly, and there was a kind of Qinggao who everyone was drunk and sober, and said, "Not necessarily." Until the end of life, who can know the final outcome. ”

Duanmu blinked in ignorance, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

Chu Qingyu glanced at Duanmu Fei, and a faint contempt flashed in his eyes. How can such an innocent and incomprehensible girl be worthy of Feng Yan!

She sighed and said, "Fourth girl Duanmu, you are still young, so you don't know that people's hearts are sinister and people's feelings are overturned. Even the closest person may harm you with a backhand, or even take your life. ”

Duanmu crooked his little face, his eyes were still full of confusion, but his thoughts were surging.

It turned out that Chu Qingyu not only felt that sealing the pre-knowledge would be detrimental to Anping, but also felt that he would kill Anping!?

Why did Chu Qingyu have such a guess?

Not to mention anything else, there must be secret guards around the eldest princess of Anping at all times, and without Anping's permission, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Feng Yuzhi to get close......

Moreover, the eldest princess of Anping has never been a weak woman, and she will never be obediently tied.

Is this just Chu Qingyu's speculation, or is it ......

A thoughtful light flashed in Duanmufei's eyes, and his little face was still smiling, innocent and cute.

Duanmu Fei and Chu Qingyu talked and laughed, and after the musician finished singing "Hibiscus Fan", he began to sing "Five Women's Birthday" again, and the tune was joyful.

Not far away, Ye Luchen, who was on the top, was slowly drinking tea, seemingly listening to a book, but his eyes were scanning back and forth on the two of them without a trace, his eyes were slightly dark, and the corners of his lips seemed to be hooked.

Ye Luchen put down the teacup and said to the palace maid in Tsing Yi beside him with a smile.

The palace maid in Tsing Yi bent her knees to receive the order, walked quickly to Duanmu Fei and Chu Qingyu, bent her knees and blessed her, and said to Chu Qingyu: "Third girl Chu, the imperial concubine Niangniang asked the girl to come over and speak." ”

Chu Qingyu was stunned, and looked at Ye Luchen with some surprise, but he didn't expect the other party to call him over.

Dasheng in the previous life did not have this imperial concubine, Yeluchen was promised to the second prince Mu Youchang as the prince's side concubine, and also provided a lot of help in the second prince's later succession. Although many things have changed in this life, Chu Qingyu felt that Ye Luchen should still be able to help the second prince, so he proposed to the second prince to let him form an alliance with Ye Lu Chen.

Could it be that the second prince told the imperial concubine that this was his own suggestion?

Chu Qingyu chuckled in his heart, but his face was silent, he stood up casually, stroked his dress, and walked towards Yeluchen with the palace maid in Tsing Yi with a smile.

"I've seen the imperial concubine." Chu Qingyu elegantly saluted Yeluchen.

Ye Luchen smiled at Chu Qingyu, "The third girl of Chu is exempt, this palace has been in Dasheng for so long, I heard that your mansion is a century-old family, and the background is profound, and all the girls of the Chu family have to be carefully cultivated, not only knowledgeable, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”

Chu Qingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and responded decently: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Ye Luchen asked Chu Qingyu what she was good at, what she had to learn at home, and their Chu family's family motto, she seemed to have a good conversation with Chu Qingyu, and the smile on her exotic face became stronger and stronger, and she exclaimed: "This girl from the Chu family really lives up to her name!" ”

"Thank you for your praise." Chu Qingyu curtsied again and thanked Ye Luchen.

She could clearly feel that the envious eyes around her fell on her, and she proudly raised her chin slightly, "Our Chu family's hundred histories, poetry and book heirlooms, are not comparable to those poor families......"

Especially those mud legs that haven't even been washed off their legs!

While Chu Qingyu spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Duanmu Fei, and a touch of contempt and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. But Feng Yan's eyes seemed to be confused by something, and there was only this Duanmu Fei in his eyes!

Chu Qingyu's hand holding the handkerchief unconsciously strained slightly.

Ye Luchen was already paying attention to Chu Qingyu's every move, and keenly saw Chu Qingyu's dissatisfaction with Duanmu Fei, the corners of Hongyan's mouth pulled out a meaningful smile, and he asked for directions: "The fourth girl of the Duanmu family also knows that at a young age, she is delicate and frivolous by nature, and she really has to accept her temperament." ”

Chu Qingyu frowned, and raised her eyes to look at Ye Luchen with some surprise, but she didn't expect this imperial concubine to think the same as her.

This is a good opportunity. Chu Qingyu said to himself in his heart.

She only knew that Duanmu Fei would drown, but when the other party died, she didn't know, instead of sitting and waiting, it was better to take the initiative and try to turn "this matter" into a fact.

Anyway, Duanmu Fei will always die, sooner or later.

Chu Qingyu hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes flashed with a blade-like cold light, but her voice was still gentle, "The fourth girl of Duanmu has a perverse personality, she only speaks and acts on a momentary basis, there are many people who offend on weekdays, and there are even more people who want to be angry......"

Chu Qingyu sighed slightly, and looked at a girl in yellow not far away, "Poor girl Liu, she is so seriously injured, and she came here today, I really respect my mother." ”

Ye Luchen followed Chu Qingyu's gaze and looked at Liu Yingshuang in front of her, although Liu Yingshuang deliberately wore a wide-sleeved dress today, she still couldn't hide the heavy bandage under her right sleeve.

Liu Yingshuang was injured by Duanmu Fei when he was comparing arrows with him has long been spread throughout the Hunting Palace, and it is said that Liu Yingshuang was not lightly injured.

Ye Luchen hooked his lips thoughtfully, his gaze moved back, and fell on the sparkling lake behind Liu Yingshuang, "This autumn lake is really clear and clear, and the scenery is beautiful. ”

Chu Qingyu smiled understandingly, and echoed: "Niangniang is right, today's autumn is crisp, and it is suitable for enjoying the lake. ”

"Miss Chu San is really a clever person." Yeluchen praised again with deep meaning.

The two smiled at each other, each with a ghost, and exchanged a knowing look with each other, as if the two were a lot closer all of a sudden.

"Baoyin, tell me to go down and take a boat ride on the lake later." Ye Luchen meaningfully commanded the Beiyan maid beside him.

Baoyin has been by Yeluchen's side for many years, showing a smile of understanding, and bent his knees to accept his life.

After this command was conveyed, the nobles were in an uproar, and they were all smiling and full of interest.

Although there are boats in the hunting palace, those small boats can be borrowed at will, and large boats such as large painting boats are not driven by anyone, and everyone swims in the lake together, which is much more interesting than just sitting here talking and listening to the pipa storytelling.

Suddenly, when a two-story painting boat with colorful lights and carved beams and painted buildings slowly drove towards this side, the girls became more and more excited, and they all looked at the beautiful painting boat with colorful eyes, and said gossipily:

"I've wanted to swim in the lake for a long time, but this time I'm stained with the light of the imperial concubine!"

"yes. It is difficult to hunt in Beijing and autumn, the weather is good, and I always feel that something is missing if I don't swim in the lake. ”

"Later, I'm going to the second floor of the painting boat to enjoy the lake and the wind......"

“……”

There was a commotion all around, but Liu Yingshuang, who was sitting next to a big tree, seemed to be out of the way, and her attention was completely focused on her ears.

"Girl, the slave maid just happened to hear the two palace maids who went to borrow the painting boat say to the maid of the imperial concubine that there are three railings on the bow of the painting boat that are a little unstable," a cui-clothed maid whispered in Liu Yingshuang's ear, "The people of the Inner Court Division specially instructed the imperial concubine to be careful when she swims in the lake later......"

"Girl, be careful later, don't go to the bow of the boat."

The maid in cuiyi was still admonishing, but Liu Yingshuang's thoughts gradually ran away, and her cold eyes looked at Duanmu Fei, who was talking to Duanmu Jun with a smile, and her heart moved.

A thought slowly came to her mind, and the time would never come again, maybe she could......

In the middle of his thoughts, the surroundings became more lively, and there was a lot of laughter and noise.

The huge painting boat was steadily anchored beside a few willow trees under the guidance of the little chamberlain on the shore, and the girls all hugged Yeluchen towards the shore like joyful butterflies, and one by one stepped on a plank sticking out of the painting boat and boarded the boat, and even the musician followed behind with a pipa in his arms.

The boat pushed aside the surface of the lake and drove slowly forward.

Looking down from the painting boat, the surrounding lake is more beautiful, under the golden sun, the clear lake water is sparkling, the green peaks in the distance, the weeping willows on the shore near are like dancing girls who throw up their water sleeves and sway with the wind, and the air is filled with a kind of watery fragrance of plants and flowers.

The ladies sat by the window of the cabin blowing the wind and talking, or stood at the bow and stern of the boat enjoying the view of the lake, bursts of laughter like silver bells floating in the air.

"Sister Li, you see that there are fish chasing our painting boat in the lake."

"Really, there are so many fish! Sister Cheng, come and see. ”

"Sister Hua, is this considered the Arch Moon of the Stars?"

The girls were talking and laughing, and they heard a female voice in the cabin behind them say to Ye Luchen almost flatteringly: "It must be those fish who know that the imperial concubine is here, and they are the stars and the moon!" ”

Duanmufei and many girls looked back at the cabin curiously, only to see Liu Yingshuang coming to Yeluchen's side at some point, smiling at her attentively.

Duanmu glanced at it, then looked away, looked around casually, and suddenly found that Chu Qingyu was gone.

Weird......

Duanmu raised her eyebrows suspiciously, she clearly remembered that she had seen Chu Qingyu follow Zeng San and get on the boat before.

Most of the girls around looked down on Liu Yingshuang, and they talked one after another, with a mocking look on their faces.

"What 'Stars and Moons'?" A girl in pink pointed in the direction of the bow of the boat and said in a low voice, "It's just that someone is feeding the fish on the bow of the boat." ”

The other girl in blue was stunned, covered her mouth and laughed softly, and sighed pretending to be mysterious: "The Buddha said that cause and effect circulate. Does cause determine effect, or does effect determine cause? …… Maybe the fish attracted the girl who fed the fish?! ”

"What cause and effect, my brain is dizzy by you!" The girl in pink complained with a wrinkled face.

"Does cause determine effect, or does effect determine cause?" Duanmu Fei on the side also heard it, and couldn't help but read it along.

The girl in pink turned her head to Duanmu and smiled: "Fourth girl Duanmu, don't pay attention to Sister Li, she likes to read those 'Xinxue' books on weekdays, and she always likes to say some specious truths to amuse people." Don't let her get caught up in her. ”

"But, I think she has a point." Duanmu Fei looked sideways at the two girls and said seriously, her pupils bright.

The girl in blue was a little proud when she heard this, raised her chin arrogantly at the girl in pink, and said crisply: "Sister Yu, what I said is obviously reasonable, where is it funny!" Her smug look seemed to say, look, there are still people who know the hero and appreciate her!

Duanmu nodded frequently, and the words of this powerful girl just now made her suddenly feel like an initiation.

The day before yesterday, when she asked Feng Yan if the "handle" in Feng Xuanzhi's hand was very important, Feng Yan confirmed her guess.

Judging from Feng Yan's expression at the time, Duanmu Fei felt that this "handle" might be called "a big matter", and few people knew about it, if this secret was leaked, it would bring a lot of trouble to An Ping and Feng Yan, so it would make An Ping and Feng Yan scruples.

In the past two days, she has been thinking about the "cause" of the seal, but instead she has ignored the "effect" of Anping, the cycle of cause and effect, maybe she can change her way of thinking and push back.

Chu Qingyu's words just now revealed the meaning of Feng Zhihui to kill An Ping, the question is-

What can Anping's death bring? In other words, what is the benefit of sealing the pre-seal?

If An Ping really died "recently", and Feng Zhenzhi was the biggest suspect in killing him, then no matter what Feng Zhenzhi said later, he would only be regarded by others as his intention to exonerate himself.

And Anping's temperament has always been arrogant, she will not be able to compromise with Feng Yuzhi, once she is forced to the extreme, perhaps......

So, could it be that Anping is......

Duanmu's pupils shrank, and her lips subconsciously pursed into a straight line, but she saw a small hand shaking in front of her eyes, and the pink-clothed girl Yu cautiously leaned her face over and asked, "Fourth girl Duanmu, are you okay?" ”

Miss Yu glanced at Miss Nali as she spoke, and that look seemed to say, you didn't mess up the brains of the fourth girl in Duanmu, did you?!

Duanmu was stunned, only then did she realize what the other party was talking about, she looked at the fish in the lake, and said casually playfully: "I'm just thinking, it's the joy of fish to swim calmly." ”

"Zi Fei Fish, the joy of Anzhi Fish?" Miss Li subconsciously said.

That Miss Yu looked at Duanmu Fei for a while, looked at Miss Li for a while, shook her head a little speechlessly, and said, "It's over, Duanmu Fourth Girl, how do you learn Sister Li?" Do you also like 'mind studies'? ”

Duanmu Fei looked at her cute appearance, laughed out loud, and humbly arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, I only dabble in a little." ”

Miss Li smiled with interest, and was about to exchange ideas with Duanmu Fei, when she heard Liu Yingshuang's slightly high-pitched voice from the cabin behind her: "Niangniang, it's rare to have a beautiful lake and pleasant scenery today, why don't you make a garden map, so as not to live up to this good mountain and water?" ”

Ye Luchen slowly brushed the tea leaves from the tea soup with the tea lid, as if he was in a mood.

Liu Yingshuang hurriedly continued: "Niangniang, the courtiers think that everyone gathers together today, if they work together to paint and then dedicate it to the emperor, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing? ”

"Oh?" This time, Ye Luchen finally had some reaction, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is also a bit interesting." ”

Several girls around them were also moved, and secretly looked at each other, thinking that their joint painting and dedication to the emperor would definitely become a good story of autumn hunting.

"Let's have fun, then." Jerechen answered.

Liu Yingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyebrows fluttered and she proposed: "Niangniang, the courtier will arrange it." ”

Ye Luchen took a few palace maids to prepare, and after a short time, several palace maids and maids placed a picture on the deck of the bow of the ship.

Everyone followed to the bow deck, which was once somewhat empty.

The maid in green clothes quietly gave Liu Yingshuang a look, indicating that everything was ready.

Liu Yingshuang nodded, and the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"And who was the first to paint?" A goose-faced girl asked hesitantly as she looked at the crowd around her.

The other girls also looked at each other, and everyone drew a picture together, naturally to have the same style, and always couldn't pile everything on a painting like a platter, which means that the first person to paint will inevitably determine the style and pattern of the painting.

Most of the girls showed hesitation, not confident that they could control the overall situation.

"Niangniang, the courtier still has an idea," Liu Yingshuang said again with a smile, and took a hydrangea from the maid in Cuiyi, "It's better to beat the drum and pass the flowers to add some fun...... Whoever receives this hydrangea will be the first to come forward and paint? ”

------Off topic------

See you tomorrow, see you tomorrow!
