The bright red peony flowers bloom in the sun, and the full flowers are delicate and charming.

Duanmu looked at the pot of peony flowers as red as blood in a daze, and for some reason, she always felt a little restless in her heart.

"Scarlet cousin! Scarlet cousin ......"

Han Xing called several times in a row, and shook his right hand in front of Duanmu Fei's eyes, and Duanmu Fei came back to his senses.

"Cousin Hanxing, why did you come?" Duanmu smiled and coquettishly grabbed Han Xing's right arm.

Han Xing pouted, waved his little hand and said coquettishly: "Don't mention it, the Zhulun car in the main palace on the road suddenly broke down, so I had to temporarily let people go back to the house and drive another carriage over." ”

"But ah, when Hongu was waiting on the side of the road, I found a teahouse and sat for a while, the butter cake in that teahouse is delicious, next time we will eat together."

Hanxing has always been open-minded and knows how to have fun for himself.

"By the way, it's also called Shangjun ......"

Han Xing wanted to say, "Also called Cousin Shangjun", but she stretched her neck and looked around, but she didn't see Duanmujun's shadow, so she asked casually: "Cousin Scarlet, where is Cousin Jun?" Didn't she come? ”

Duanmu Fei beckoned to Hanxing, and whispered to Hanxing about the people who came to Jingzhao Mansion before, including Duanmu Qi disappeared this morning, and Duanmu Chao and his wife went to Jingzhao Mansion to sue Duanmu Jun for murdering Duanmu Qi.

"......" Hanxing's pupils shrank, and he was startled at first, but he didn't expect Duanmuqi, a big living person, to say that it would be gone.

After all, she and Duanmuqi are cousins who grew up together, and they have always gotten along well when they were children, until they grew up and parted ways with each other......

Duanmuqi was suddenly gone, and Han Xing's heart was also a little lost and a little sad.

Han Xing froze, and then became angry again, like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

The second uncle and second aunt certainly have the pain of losing their daughter, but it is too bullying to drag Duanmuqi's dead life onto Cousin Wei!

Han Xing leaned over and whispered to Duanmu Fei, "Shall we go to Jingzhao Mansion to support Cousin Wei?" ”

Duanmu shook his head.

Originally, Duanmu Fei also thought about going to Jingzhao Mansion, but An Ping stopped her:

"Scarlet, you don't have to go. This palace estimates that your second uncle and second aunt made this scene, I'm afraid they want to lure you over! ”

"They have gathered so many people to make a big noise, and nine times out of ten they want to pull you into the water."

"It's also ......" Han Xing thought of another direction, and she subconsciously looked at the guests around her.

There are so many guests at today's peony banquet, and these eyes are all staring at Duanmufei, if these people see Duanmufei suddenly leaving the table, they will definitely guess and inquire, but it will attract some unnecessary attention.

Duanmu Fei lowered his voice and said, "Cousin Hanxing, don't worry about sister." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess asked the guards of the princess's mansion to accompany her sister to Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Han Xing covered her mouth and laughed sheepishly, and said in her heart: The imperial aunt has always been domineering and reliable, and the guards of the princess's mansion are following, who dares to bully Cousin Jun and subdue them!

While the two cousins were talking, the musician of the Peony Pavilion changed another tune.

The melody of this song is lingering and graceful, delicate and soft, like a warm spring breeze blowing across the earth, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Han Xing was also attracted by this song, and looked in the direction of the Peony Pavilion with a crooked little face.

In the Peony Pavilion, in addition to the previous musician who played the pipa, there were two more veiled musicians, one holding the piano and the other holding the flute, and the three of them played together tacitly, and the cooperation was seamless.

The spring breeze gusted, slightly blowing up the light veils and skirts of the three musicians, which looked very elegant, like a picture of a lady, attracting many people to look over there and immerse themselves in the melodious music.

Han Xing closed his eyes and listened for a moment, then opened his eyes again, and said with a smile: "This piece sounds like Yun Zhongjun's "Peony Spectrum". Scarlet cousin, do you know Yun Zhongjun? ”

"Yes." Duanmu Fei nodded. In the past few months, she has heard the name mentioned several times.

Han Xing said again: "This Yun Zhongjun has been quite famous in the capital in the past few months, and he has composed a lot of tunes, and this piece is also composed by him. ”

"Yun Zhongjun entered the Qingping Department last month, and recently composed some good tunes, all of which were played by the musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division first, but it made the Teaching Workshop Division famous recently."

"In the past two months, many people in Beijing like to ask the musicians of the Fang Division to go to Fuzhong to play and sing."

The two cousins chatted casually, smiling and laughing.

Neither of them noticed that the musician playing the piano in the Peony Pavilion was looking at Duanmu Fei's back from afar, and the eyes exposed outside the veil were as deep as a bottomless abyss.

There was a hint of yin in the depths of her eyes, but the sound of the piano under her fingers was as clear as a mountain stream.

The sound of the piano is murmuring, and it is not stained with the dust of the world.

As the music gradually reaches its climax, the white and slender fingers of the musician dance faster and faster on the strings, which is dazzling to watch.

Soon! The corners of Fu Yingxuan's lips curled up slightly behind the veil, and she smiled treacherously.

The two sisters of the Duanmu family will soon taste the hardships she once suffered!

Fu Yingxuan silently retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes and continued to play the piano, her posture was elegant, and she had an indescribable sense of beauty all over her body.

Obviously, she and the other two musicians in the pavilion were wearing the same clothes, combing their hair, and wearing a variety of jewelry, but they were a little more noble and dusty than them.

Han Xing has always been idle, and after listening to the song for a while, he took Duanmu Fei's arm and walked along the lakeside.

The spring breeze stirs thousands of willow branches, and the willow branches caress the surface of the lake, creating a circle of ripples on the water surface, and the water is shining.

Han Xing said critically: "This palace listens to this Yunzhongjun's tune, but Yun Hua and Lan Tingyun are talking wildly, saying that 'this song should only exist in the sky, and the world can hear it a few times', it is not too true at all." ”

"Let's go, let's go to the peony platform to enjoy the peonies."

Hanxing was too lazy to listen to the music, so he took Duanmu Fei to the peony platform to see the flowers.

On the peony platform, there are all kinds of peony flowers, there are hundreds of pots, Wei Zi, thousands of snow, Yao Huang, Golden Waist Building, jade semi-white, purple peony and so on, hundreds of peony flowers compete for beauty, purple and red, flowers are like brocade.

The fragrance of peony flowers permeates with the wind, and it also attracts many fragrant butterflies to linger.

Han Xing walked half a circle on the peony platform, looked dizzying, and said very self-knowingly: "These peonies have their own merits, and the pot brought by the palace is afraid that it can't even rank in the top ten!" ”

As he spoke, Han Xing remembered something, and his eyes lit up.

She leaned into Duanmu Fei's ear awkwardly, as if she was afraid of being heard, and lowered her voice and said: "Cousin Scarlet, this palace just heard that Aunt Anping asked you to pick today's 'Peony King', have you picked it well?" ”

"Let's get to the bottom of this palace first!"

Han Xing's dark eyes blinked, and he looked at Duanmu Fei with an earnest expression.

Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, lightly pressed an index finger on Sakura's lips, and pretended to be profound: "Buddha said, don't say it." ”

Han Xing has never been a person who gives up easily, so he immediately entangled, and said coquettishly: "Scarlet cousin......"

"Fourth girl Duanmu."

An unfamiliar female voice in the back suddenly interrupted Han Xing's words.

The cousins were all following the prestige, and they saw a plump female in a lilac-colored dress approaching two or three feet away, and the veil on her face swayed with her walking.

The maid stopped three steps away, bowed to Duanmu Fei decently, and said without humility or arrogance: "Slave and maid Fengxian, there are some things I want to say to the fourth girl of Duanmu 'privately'. ”

Fengxian deliberately increased the volume slightly on the word "private", and looked at Duanmu Fei for a moment.

In fact, she originally wanted to talk to Duanmu Fei when she was alone, who wanted Hanxing to be inseparable from Duanmu Fei all the time, Feng Xian hesitated for a while, and had to come over hard.

"......" Duanmu raised his eyebrows, and looked at the strange female trick in front of him inexplicably.

She's sure she doesn't know this person, right?!

"No rules!" Han Xing frowned, and scolded in a coquettish voice, "You little trick, dare to talk like this!" ”

Feng Xian stood straight, looking at Duanmu Fei and Han Xing, and on the veiled face, there was no anxiety, no panic, and he was still calm.

Little trick?!

Yes, in the eyes of the world, these tricks have a low status.

However, Feng Xian also knows a lot of girls from official eunuch families who have been charged into the Jiaofang Division because of family crimes, and those girls see themselves, and they don't want to respectfully call themselves Sister Fengxian, so Feng Xian doesn't think that those official eunuchs are much more noble than her.

She can't compare to them now, but not in the future!

What if Han Xing is the eldest princess, no one knows that her father is the abolished emperor, and she has an irresolvable enmity with the new emperor for killing her father and mother, and Han Xing's life and death are just a matter of the new emperor's words.

And this Duanmu Fourth Girl, even if she is the future queen, so what, today she doesn't want to beg herself!

The phoenix hooked her full cherry lips, and her black eyes were bright.

She didn't pay attention to Han Xing, and said to Duanmu Fei with a smile: "Fourth girl Duanmu, this matter is related to Duanmu girl." If the girl is coming, please take care of yourself. ”

Feng Xian's voice was gentle as a song, and her tone was unhurried, revealing an undisguised threat.

After speaking, she didn't wait for Duanmufei to respond, she turned around and left, confident in her heart: as soon as she said this, Duanmufei would definitely come. Even if she doesn't want to be a muan, she should think about herself.

The phoenix's waist straightened up and slowly walked down the peony platform.

Looking at Fengxian's back, Han Xing pursed his lips and said angrily: "Cousin Scarlet, the people in this sect are too unruly, and Fan Peizhong doesn't know how to manage it, such a person dares to send it to the princess's mansion to sing!" ”

Duanmu nodded approvingly.

"......" Congzhen behind Hanxing silently gave a handful of sympathetic tears to the Ministry of Rites.

The Department of Rites is responsible for celebrations and welcoming VIPs to play music, so it is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, but even so, it is not the turn of the Ministry of Rites to personally manage a district Department of Teaching.

However, there are no rules for this phoenix. From the flash of Zhen's eyes, there is a plan in my heart. After the flower-viewing feast, let people go to the teaching department to say something.

Fengxian was originally very confident, thinking that she had left enough bait, and Duanmufei would definitely follow. However, when she walked down the last step, she still did not hear any movement behind her.

Feng Xian's originally leisurely figure stiffened a little, she hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but turn her head to look at the peony platform.

However, Duanmu Fei didn't look at Fengxian at all, she was whispering in Han Xing's ear affectionately, which made Han Xing laugh out loud.

The cousins laughed like flowers.

Feng Xian's face sank, and the pace under her feet slowed slightly.

She couldn't figure out why things weren't going the way she expected.

Feng Xian grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lower lip, and said to herself in her heart: This Duanmu Fourth Girl is just pretending, right? How could she not care about "that incident" of Miss Duanmu!

That's right, it must be so!

Fengxian held her head high and continued to walk forward, but until she reached the flower corridor, Duanmufei still did not follow.

An oncoming breeze blew the corner of the impatiens' veil, revealing the stiff corners of her mouth.

The phoenix stopped, her body tense as a stone carving.

So far, she has no other choice, her task has not been completed, so naturally she can't really go home empty-handed.

Feng Xian gritted her teeth and resolutely turned back.

She returned to the peony platform the same way, and her face under the veil was already very unsightly.

However, Duanmu Fei and Hanxing are not just tricks that she can approach at will, this time, Feng Xian just walked up the steps of the peony platform when she was stopped by Congzhen.

"Impatiens, this is not the place for you."

Congzhen said politely at all, secretly annoyed in her heart: the last time she didn't stop Fengxian in time, she thought she was here to sing, but I didn't expect this trick to have the audacity to go to Duanmu to talk to the fourth girl, and also let out a lot of words, I really don't know what to say!

If it weren't for the fact that today was the peony banquet in the princess's mansion, I would have swept away the interest of the guests, and I would have already found someone to get rid of this eyeless trick.

"......" Fengxian seemed to have been slapped in the face, and her face became even more ugly.

She didn't dare to make trouble more than Congzhen, and once it got bigger, she wouldn't have a chance to talk to Duanmu Fei alone......

Thinking of her task, Feng Xian forcibly suppressed the displeasure in her heart, took two deep breaths in a row, and her expression calmed down a little.

"Four girls of Duanmu!" Feng Xian didn't argue with Congzhen about anything, she raised her head and looked at Duanmu Fei five or six steps away, and shouted, "The slave really has something very important to tell the girl." ”

Afraid that Duanmu Fei would still ignore him, Feng Xian hurriedly added: "If you don't listen, you will definitely regret it!" ”

And there's no end to it! Han Xing frowned, and ordered impatiently: "Congzhen, let people drag her down, and send her back to the Sect Division now!" ”

As soon as Han Xing ordered, Congzhen immediately bent his knees to receive the order: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

I can't just be sent back to the Church Division! Feng Xian was frightened, her legs were weak, she knelt down with a disgraced face, and said busily: "Fourth girl Duanmu, Miss Duanmu is now in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and her situation is not very good." ”

This time, the phoenix no longer had the same calm and calm as before, and her expression and tone looked panicked, like a paper tiger that would break when she poked.

"......" Han Xing's delicate brows furrowed even tighter, realizing that this matter was not as simple as she thought.

It stands to reason that no one should know about Duanmujun's trip to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, how could this female trick know?!

Han Xing turned his head to look at Duanmu Fei, wanting to see what she meant.

Duanmu Fei looked at Fengxian calmly, still light and light.

When Fang Cai Fengxian firmly threatened herself that this matter was related to her sister, Duanmu Fei guessed whether what the other party was going to say was related to the "incident" of her sister going to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

Although Duanmu Fei was curious, she didn't plan to let Fengxian lead her nose.

Fengxian's attitude was obvious, she just wanted to use this matter to blackmail herself, so Duanmu Fei simply coldly treated her and suppressed her arrogance first, so as not to make a fool of herself there.

Moreover, since Fengxian has a "picture", even if he doesn't ask, the other party has to say it.

"Say it." Duanmu said lightly and quietly.

Hearing this, Feng Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was still slightly pale.

After a few words, she realized that she was wrong.

She thought that if she took Duanmufei's "vital point", she would be able to control the other party, but she didn't know that in the eyes of these nobles, a lowly trick like herself was nothing at all.

They are the heavens, and they are nothing but dust.

They can control their own destiny with a word, for example, if Fang Cai is thrown back to the Teaching Division, there will be no one to intercede for her, not only will she not be able to complete her task this time, but she is afraid that she will inevitably be punished, and it is difficult to say whether she can stay in the Teaching Division......

Feng Xian just thought about it, and felt scared for a while.

She swallowed her saliva and looked back and forth at Han Xing, Congzhen and Pothos, Sakura's lips moved slightly, wanting to say whether to let them leave, Han Xing saw that she stayed for a while without speaking, and urged impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, what are you doing?" ”

Feng Xian realized that Duanmu Fei really didn't mean to avoid Hanxing, so she no longer hesitated, and said honestly: "Duanmu Fourth Girl, the slave maid is here to deliver a message. ”

Feng Xian took another breath and said in one breath: "Sister Ling is now in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, the situation is very bad, Uncle Ling has evidence, and besides, Mrs. Yang's personal maid Xia Jin did not hesitate to kill herself in the court, and used her death to prove that Sister Ling was the murderer of her master. ”

"The people who went to the court to watch the trial were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that Jing Zhaoyin uphold justice for the deceased and severely punish the murderer."

"Although Sister Ling refuses to admit her guilt, there is human and material evidence, and she should be about to be convicted."

"......" Hanxing's face sank little by little, and he pursed his lips.

Originally, she thought that this case was just a farce, and that her second uncle and second aunt were messing around, but now she couldn't help but start to worry a little about Duanmujun's situation.

Duanmu Fei looked down at the phoenix who was kneeling on the ground, and only spit out three words: "And then?" ”

Fengxian stared at Duanmu Fei's face without blinking, and kept paying attention to the changes in Duanmu Fei's expression, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't tell what she was thinking from Duanmu Fei's face at all.

Duanmu Fei was too calm.

It stands to reason that Duanmu Fei heard that her sister was about to be convicted of murder by Jing Zhaoyin, shouldn't she be at a loss? Shouldn't you rush to Jingzhao Mansion to check on the situation?

Why can Duanmu Fei be so calm, calm as if he is an outsider?

Feng Xian's heart was even more bottomless, and her eyes sparkled.

She said one by one: "The person who asked the slave maid to deliver the message said that he had evidence in his hand to prove that the Duanmu girl was innocent, but he had one condition......"

"Who told you to pass the word?" Duanmu interrupted Feng Xian with a smile.

Feng Xian's eyes wandered, lowered her eyes slightly, shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't know who the other party is." He gave the slave maid some silver and asked the slave maid to come to Duanmu and the fourth girl to pass a few words. ”

"It's the slave and the maid who are greedy, and the slave and the maid only took her fifty taels of silver......"

As if he had heard some joke, Duanmu Fei smiled, revealing a shallow pear vortex on his lips, "Miss Fengxian, aren't you stupid for me?" ”

Duanmu smiled very cutely, with a bit of innocence, but in the eyes of the phoenix, he was like a wolf and a tiger.

"......" Feng Xian slammed the spirit, clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes changed brightly and secretly.

Duanmu Fei was not in a hurry, just looked at her quietly and waited quietly.

A thin layer of sweat gradually oozed from the back of Fengxian's neck, and it felt like a mountain was pressing down on her.

On the peony platform, there was a dead silence.

At this moment, silence is also an invisible pressure.

Feng Xian felt that her middle clothes were wet, and finally she couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered, "Yes...... It's the king of the clouds. ”

Yun Zhongjun?! Han Xing blinked, completely unexpecting to hear the name again in this situation.

Duanmu raised his right eyebrow, his eyes flashing.

Isn't Yun Zhongjun Fu Yingxuan?

Duanmu Fei asked again: "What about the conditions she proposed?" ”

When it came to this, Feng Xian naturally knew everything, and said truthfully: "Yun Zhongjun wants the girl to take the initiative to propose to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping, and pick a few of these girls who came today for ......" She pursed her lips, her expression was a little subtle, and her voice was a little lowered, "Be a concubine for the emperor." ”

“……”

“……”

Before Duanmu Fei could speak, Han Xing was annoyed first, pouted and reprimanded: "Shameless!" ”

Han Xing's voice unconsciously raised a few keys, and the movement was a little loud, attracting several people not far away to look towards the Peony Terrace.

When they saw a female dancer kneeling there with a frightened expression, they thought that she had collided with Han Xing, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and they went to joke and have fun again.

Duanmufei didn't speak, and there was silence around him.

Feng Xian became more and more uneasy, and her heart rose to her throat little by little, and her throat was dry.

She thought that this errand would be easy, but she didn't expect it to be much more troublesome than she expected......

The warm spring breeze came slowly, sending the rich fragrance of peonies, lingering on the tip of the nose, but the phoenix only felt depressed, and her face turned white.

Duanmu asked lightly, "What else did Yun Zhongjun say?" ”

Feng Xian looked pleasing with low eyebrows, "She also said that the fourth girl of Duanmu does not need to rush to agree, but I am afraid that the eldest girl of Duanmu will not last long." ”

"Those Shilin lifters have already asked for their lives together, even if Lord Duanmu is the first assistant and Mu Guogong, it will not be able to protect Miss Duanmu."

"There is evidence and evidence, and the murder of Miss Duanmu cannot be escaped."

"Once Miss Duanmu is convicted of murder, can you, the fourth girl, sit firmly in the position of the queen?"

Feng Xian relayed these words with a strange expression, and cold sweat fell.

She swallowed her saliva and said, "Yun Zhongjun said that this is the best of both worlds. She also said that if you don't agree to her conditions, she will die with the 'evidence', so that Miss Duanmu will never be able to wash away this crime! ”

The phoenix's voice grew drier.

Originally, she thought that Duanmufei would definitely be soft, after all, Duanmujun is Duanmufei's own sister, both glory and humiliation, if Duanmujun is convicted, even if the whole clan will not be implicated, but for Duanmufei, having a murderer's sister will inevitably make her white jade time, how can she, the queen, be able to convince the public, and even, maybe she will be disgusted by the new emperor.

At this moment, there was a commotion from behind.

The surrounding guests all looked in the same direction, looking a little excited, and looked at a bright yellow figure at the entrance of the garden.

Duanmu Fei and Hanxing on the peony platform were suddenly unaware.

"Scarlet cousin, don't believe her." Han Xing gently patted Duanmu Fei's shoulder and comforted, "Cousin Jun will definitely be fine." ”

Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, his big eyes were surprisingly bright, like a cunning little fox.

Is there also a guaranteed commuter pass? Girls who have voted for a monthly pass remember to get a red envelope.

There is a small event today, and the prize is a custom keychain for Scarlet and Ah Yan's wedding. You can leave a message in the book review area, and a random lottery will be drawn. Only this time! Originally, it was said that 3 were drawn, but some girls said that it was too little, so let's 5! According to the readership, there are 5 in Xiaoxiang and 2 in the book city. It's out of print~

——

In fact, I really don't want to explain so much for the plot, it is useful to hide that he didn't come forward, and Yang didn't suddenly become a boss, and there are no low-level bugs in this plot. Hmmmmm

(End of chapter)
