"This Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is really sanctimonious." Fang Fei sighed mockingly.

A girl in pink in the back put down her pen, walked back, and asked: "I heard that when the mother and daughter of the Ji family returned to Beijing, they actually brought all the property of the Ji family, is it true?" ”

"Of course." The girl in Tsing Yi knew a lot, and said that the Ji family was like a river, "The Ji family was originally an imperial merchant or a salt merchant, and it would be polite to say that it was a family with a lot of money." ”

Sixteen years ago, Ji Chengtian's father was in charge and donated half of the Ji family's property to the imperial court to suppress the rebellion. Originally, the merchants were humble and had to abandon the merchants for three generations to be able to take the imperial examination, but the first emperor not only sealed the hereditary Yong'an Bo for three generations, but also specially allowed Ji Chengtian to take the scientific examination. Ji Chengtian is talented, and at the age of seventeen, he was named the champion of today, and the scenery is infinite. At a young age, he became a political envoy in Yuzhou, and he had the opportunity to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, but unfortunately he was caught in a disaster, leaving an orphan daughter and a widow. ”

"The three generations of the Ji family have been passed down singlely, and there are no relatives in the five suits, because the old lady Ji made immortal feats back then, the emperor missed the old feelings, thinking that Ji Chengtian had no children under his knees, and specially decreed that Miss Ji's second son in the future should change the surname of 'Ji', so as to continue the incense of the Ji family and inherit the title of Earl Yong'an."

Many people looked at each other when they heard this, and there was a little sigh and sigh in their expressions, understanding her unfinished words, that Miss Ji's second son is not only to continue the Ji family's incense and title, but also to inherit the Ji family's gold and silver mountains.

"In this way, this Xuanwu Marquis Mansion is really a good family." I don't know who sighed.

Dangui exchanged a sympathetic look with her, and she didn't shy away from it, and said coquettishly: "This Wang family is really not authentic. The girl of the Wang family bullied that Miss Ji like this outside the mansion, and she did it as a matter of course, this is in the mansion, and I don't know how excessive it is! ”

Several of the girls present were also in Luhua Court that day, and they also thought so.

It can be seen that the tutor of the Wang family is really not very good.

"The Xuanwu Marquis Mansion has long since lost the glory of two generations ago." The girl in pink rolled up the handkerchief in her hand and said casually, "I remember that when my mother taught me to be a housekeeper, she talked about an old incident of the Wang family, saying that when a concubine of the Wang family got married seven years ago, she only raised a dowry of thirty-two, and half of it was cloth brocade quilts, and they were all outdated materials...... I was laughed at for a while. ”

"I also heard my mother talk about this before, and said that the Wang family sold several shops and granges in the past few years." The girl in Tsing Yi said, her eyes shining, "But in the past few years, the Wang family seems to be getting better." Last time I went to Wang's house with my mother, his home vase decoration and tea cup are all new styles of jade porcelain in Jiangnan, which is no worse than that of the official kiln! ”

So......

Those girls are all smart and intelligent, and they understand it when they get there.

I see.

Originally, everyone in Beijing thought that the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion had taken in the orphans and widows of the Ji family, and they could take care of them properly, which could be called benevolence and righteousness, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

Dangui said mockingly: "That day, I also heard Wang Wanru say that Miss Ji was a drag oil bottle under the fence, and she used his family to eat it, so I think it's right to turn it upside down." ”

"Wang Wanru is just angry." A girl in purple wrote the score, put the folded note into the basket, and walked back to sit down, "My cousin is in-law with the Xuanwu Hou Mansion, she told me two days ago that Mrs. Xuanwu Hou wanted to marry Miss Ji to the third son of the Wang family, that is Wang Wanru's own brother, but Mrs. Ji refused. ”

“……”

Those girls spoke with great interest, looking like they had "seen through the true face of the Wang family", not only feeling sorry for the Ji family's mother and daughter, but also disdainful of what the Wang family had done.

Duanmu Fei didn't interject from beginning to end, thinking about the scenes in Luhua Pavilion in his mind, thinking of the girl Ji Lanzhou, the corners of his lips hooked, revealing a shallow pear vortex, which was very interesting.

Interesting, really funny.

There was a loud and noisy sound of laughter in the curtain, and the girls were talking like a river, and at this time, a slender and elegant shadow walked in, and the girls all subconsciously looked towards the comer, and saw that the person who came was Chu Qingyu, the second princess, so they got up and blessed.

"Second Princess."

After most of the girls saluted, they sat back, only Zhang Ruoling and other two or three girls took a few steps forward and greeted Chu Qingyu, Zhang Ruoling affectionately called "Cousin Yu" and respectfully invited Chu Qingyu to sit down.

At the same time, another palace maid hurriedly served tea to Chu Qingyu.

Chu Qingyu smiled gracefully and nobly, but in fact, he was unwilling in his heart. This is all a girl's house, and Mu Youchang is inconvenient to come here as a man, so she has to let her come here to get close to Duanmu Feiduo.

She couldn't let Mu Youchang feel that she didn't know the general situation, so she could only come over.

Zhang Ruoling said to Chu Qingyu with a smile: "Second princess, we are guessing the number of goals in the game, do you want to try?" ”

"It's kind of interesting." Chu Qingyu smiled slightly, and looked at Duanmu Fei diagonally opposite, "Fourth Duanmu girl, I heard that you just analyzed the game with Lord Cen Du, the head is the way, what do you think?" ”

Duanmu Fei slowly finished eating the jujube paste yam cake in his hand, wiped his hands again, and then looked at Chu Qingyu and said, "Second princess, I have always been at odds with you, why do you need to force a smile and be a snake?" ”

Duanmu looked at Chu Qingyu with a smile, and his words were as sharp as a blade, leaving no mercy.

For Duanmufei, Chu Qingyu is already married, she is the wife of the Mu family, and she no longer has to take care of the face of the Chu family and make a false deal with her.

This sentence was like waving his hand and slapping Chu Qingyu's face, and there was silence in the curtain.

Zhang Ruoling looked at Duanmufei in disbelief, Chu Qingyu is a dignified second princess, Duanmufei dared to talk to the second princess like this, is she crazy?!

Even Chu Qingyu didn't expect Duanmu Fei to not give herself a little face in front of the public, she only felt that her face was hot, and everyone's eyes were stabbing straight at her like sharp arrows.

Chu Qingyu originally disliked Duanmu Fei, and could even be said to be disgusted, at this moment, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, and couldn't help but stand up and shouted: "Bold!" ”

Duanmu Fei still smiled, tilted his head and asked, "Second princess, do you still want to slap my mouth?" ”

She paused and smiled meaningfully, "I don't know if your cheeks still hurt Second Princess?" ”

Duanmu Fei's words were endless, but Chu Qingyu suddenly remembered the scene in Huilan Yuan last year, and remembered that Duanmu Fei ordered the waiter to palm his mouth at that time......

The kind of humiliation at that time made Chu Qingyu want to tear Duanmu Fei when he thought about it at the moment.

Chu Qingyu clutched the handkerchief in his hand, the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.

Several chamberlains rushed over in a hurry, and the middle-aged chamberlain led by them said to Chu Qing in a weird manner: "Second princess, the fourth girl is here to watch the game, don't argue with the fourth girl!" ”

Several other girls watched this scene, and their feelings were extremely complicated. I knew that Cen Yin was now in the middle of the day in the government and the opposition, but seeing with my own eyes that these chamberlains didn't take Chu Qingyu, the second princess, in their eyes at all in order to please Cen Yin, that feeling was really complicated.

No one would risk offending Cen Yin to speak for Chu Qingyu, most of them hung their heads silently, either drinking tea or eating snacks, Rao is Zhang Ruoling originally wanted to say something, but seeing the other girls' performance, they didn't dare to be the first bird, and looked at the tips of their shoes.

The two little chamberlains walked up to Chu Qingyu with their heads held high, and politely stretched out their hands to make an invitation.

Chu Qingyu was willing to leave like this, gritted his teeth and looked at Duanmufei, and said angrily: "Duanmufei, you dare?!" ”

Mu Youchang had been paying attention to the movements here from time to time, and immediately found that something was wrong, and couldn't help but think in his heart: If Duanmu Fei doesn't like Chu Qingyu, and the little girl's family casually sends a few complaints to her brother-in-law, will it affect Cen Yin's attitude towards herself?!

Mu Youchang half-narrowed his eyes, a touch of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly stood up, feeling that Chu Qingyu really couldn't speak, no matter why she provoked Duanmufei, at this time, what she should do was to say soft words to coax Duanmufei, Duanmufei was just a twelve-year-old girl's family, and she was given the stairs down, and the matter would pass.

Mu Youchang complained about Chu Qingyu in his heart, but his elegant face was silent, and he still smiled like a spring breeze.

"Yu'er, Bengong doesn't look very good at your face, but it's not good for you to faint the carriage?" Mu Youchang asked gently and considerately, just as if he didn't know what happened just now, and planned to stir up this tense scene.

"......" Chu Qingyu's hands tightened even tighter, the anger in her heart was not settled, she was unwilling, displeased, uneven, dissatisfied...... She was also angry that Youchang refused to call the shots for her, but she was not really a teenager after all, and she knew that no matter how well Mu Youchang treated her on weekdays, she couldn't withstand his desire for the throne, and she couldn't be a stumbling block to him......

"Your Highness, the concubine feels a little depressed." Chu Qingyu suppressed the surging anger in his heart and said in a reluctant voice.

Mu Youchang shushed for warmth again, said the scene of asking the palace maid to make medicinal tea for her, and returned to the curtain next door with Chu Qingyu.

The moment he turned around, Mu Youchang's face suddenly became solemn, and his lips pursed into a straight line.

He had to ask clearly how Chu Qingyu offended Duanmu Fei, it was related to Cen Yin!

He now has an advantage over the third emperor brother, and he doesn't want to provoke Cen Yin for a little bit of the girl's disgrace.

But this is not the right occasion.

Mu Youchang raised his eyes to Mu Youjing's smiling eyes, and shook it quietly with one hand, so that he could not be impatient.

Mu Youchang sat down casually with Chu Qingyu in his arms, not bothering to pay attention to Mu Youjing.

Duanmufei didn't look at the second prince and his wife at all, watching the game by himself, applauding Duanmujun, Feng Yan and Wuyang for their wonderful performances in the field.

Zhang Ruoling didn't look at the court at all, and kept quietly looking at Duanmufei by drinking tea, she wanted to know what grievances Duanmufei had with Chu Qingyu, but she didn't want to talk to Duanmufei, hoping that others would ask, but no one asked.

The girls in the curtain soon started laughing again, watching the Keju competition, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and being happy.

Compared to the laid-back here, the competition on the course is more intense, and as the sand on the upper part of the hourglass on the side of the court becomes less and less, it also means that the game is almost over.

The current situation is that the red team has scored nine goals and the blue team has scored four.

The red team wanted to score one more goal, while the blue team tried desperately to block it, not wanting to make the score bigger.

The wipes on the foreheads of the young boys and girls fluttered in the wind, making them look radiant and radiating the sun.

"Boom!"

Almost as soon as the drum sounded, Feng Yan kicked out again, kicking Piju into the enemy team's goal.

It's over!

The RED team won by an outright margin!

Han Xingle was broken, hugged Wuyang for a while, kissed Duanmujun on the cheek for a while, and threw himself towards Lan Tingyun for a while, Lan Tingyun avoided it without giving a face, and said unceremoniously: "It's hot, stay away from me!" ”

Han Xing ran after her disappreciably, and Jun Ran, Li Tingyou and the others on the side were a little speechless.

As for Feng Yan, he had already run towards Duanmu Fei, and Jun Ran could almost see Feng Yan's back wagging his dog tail frantically, holding his stomach and laughing.

Mu Jinfan glanced at Jun Ran inexplicably, walked past him, and felt that this Jun Shizi was really weird, and he would have brain cramps from time to time.

As soon as he saw that the Keju competition was over, Dangui couldn't wait to ask Duanmu Fei: "Sister Scarlet, I guessed eight to three just now, how many did you guess?" ”

Duanmu hooked his lips and smiled, and was about to answer, when Yunhua's voice sounded behind him: "Ten to four." Sister Scarlet, you're too godly, aren't you? ”

Duanmu shook his head and shook his head, just opened his lips, and the words were snatched away by Dangui again: "Okay, okay, I know that you know astronomy, geography, and ......."

As he spoke, Dangui had already laughed out loud, and Duanmu Fei also laughed, sticking out his tongue, looking very cute.

The surrounding Yunhua, Wuyang and Hanxing also heard it, they all knew the story behind this sentence, and they all laughed, and the other girls were mostly confused and looked at each other.

At this time, Feng Yan also walked into the curtain, and when he heard that Duanmu Fei had guessed the result of the game just now, he couldn't help but smile.

Duanmu cleared his throat and told the truth: "This time it's just a coincidence." She just guessed casually and chose the most likely combination.

Thankfully, I scored the last goal. Feng Yan said complacently, Zhen Zhen must be very satisfied with herself.

Thinking about it, Feng Yan happened to look at the smiling eyes of Mu Fei at the top end.

"Feng Gongzi." Duanmu waved at him, poured him tea very considerately, and handed it to him.

Feng Yan hurriedly accepted it, and drank the warm tea in one go, and after drinking it, he regretted it again, thinking that he should drink it slowly, this was the tea that Zhen Zhen poured herself.

Duanmufei added tea to Feng Yan again, not only Feng Yan, but Duanmujun, Wuyang, and Hanxing all got the tea poured by Duanmufei himself, and with the arrival of these people, the curtain suddenly became a little crowded and more lively.

After Han Xing eased up a little, he remembered something, and looked left and right with his probe, "What about Chi Liu?" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I can't escape." Chi Yan came with a smile, followed by the two palace maids carrying baskets, "I've settled all the accounts, and I'll share the spoils now." ”

What spoils?! Is it good for her to win above board! Han Xing said in his heart, too lazy to correct Chi Yan, "You can divide it quickly." ”

Chi Yan happily divided the money, first returned the bets to those who bet on the red team, and then divided all their winnings among them, and before a single cup of tea, both baskets were empty.

Chi Yan saw that Cen Yin was gone, so he took the initiative to give Cen Yin's share directly to Duanmu Fei, "Duanmu Fourth Girl, this is Cen Supervisor's share, so it will disturb the girl." He didn't want to run to Cen Yin again, his heart wasn't so good, but he didn't want to get heart disease.

didn't wait for Duanmu Fei to agree, and Chi Yan ran away.

Duanmujun on the side also felt a little funny when he looked at it, and carefully received Cen Yin's share in his purse, and said to Duanmufei: "Zhenzhen, when you go back, we will send it to Gongzi Cen." ”

Duanmu Fei responded smoothly.

Han Xing took the silver ingot he had just won, and said beautifully: "Sister Emperor, Cousin Scarlet, Cousin Xuan, Dangui...... Today, the palace is in a good mood, won the game and earned silver, why don't we go to the Yunting Restaurant for a celebration banquet? Han Xing smiled and danced, and his face was bright.

Jun Ran likes to be lively the most, and he was the first to respond, and arched his hand with a smile: "Then the son of the world is welcome." ”

Wuyang, Duanmujun and others also echoed.

At this time, Mu Youchang also walked over, strolling leisurely, elegant as a bamboo, "Sister the Great Emperor, Sister the Fourth Emperor, if you want to go to the celebration banquet, you should also count it in the palace." ”

"And Hongu." Mu Youjing was not far behind, and hurriedly spoke out. Not only Duanmu Fei, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Jun Ran.

Han Xing smiled slightly, and looked at Mu Youchang with a faint gaze, how can they say that they are also brothers and sisters, and they have to maintain some superficial skills, so as not to let outsiders see the joke, but ah, some people are just not interesting.

"Two ......"

As soon as Han Xing opened her lips, her voice had already been suppressed by Wuyang: "Second Emperor Brother, this palace doesn't want to sit at the same table with you." ”

Wuyang looked at Mu Youchang a few steps away with clear eyes, her expression was proud, and the golden sunlight gilded a layer of golden halo around her, making her look atmospheric but dignified.

Wuyang (eldest sister) is really domineering!

Duanmu Fei and Han Xing both looked at Wuyang with bright eyes, and the cousins smiled and groaned, and their expressions looked very similar.

Mu Youchang looked embarrassed, and couldn't help but think of Xuan Xin's delicate face again, and he looked away weakly, completely unable to look directly at Wuyang.

Wuyang didn't bother to say anything more to Mu Youchang, and greeted everyone, and they left in a majestic manner, including the third prince Mu Youjing.

"Second Emperor Brother, the younger brother will leave first."

Mu Youjing's tone was gentle, but he gave Mu Youchang a provocative look from the angle that others saw, and then walked to follow.

Mu Youchang looked at their departing backs with heavy eyes, his eyes became deeper and darker, as if there was a tornado raging in it, and he didn't move for a long time...... Until Chu Qingyu's hesitant call came from behind him: "Your Highness......"

Mu Youchang was quiet for three breaths, blinked, and returned to being a gentle, elegant and personable second prince.

"Yu'er," he turned to look at Chu Qingyu and walked slowly towards her, Chu Qingyu was standing at the mouth of the curtain, her beautiful little face shrouded in the shadow of the curtain, looking obscure.

Mu Youchang stopped two steps away from her, looked into her eyes and asked, "Yu'er, how did you offend the fourth girl of Duanmu?" ”

His voice was gentle and clear, like a babbling mountain stream.

Chu Qingyu's eyes flickered, and the disgust for Duanmufei in her heart was almost irrepressible, and the festival between her and Duanmufei was not something that could be explained in a sentence.

Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, of course it was impossible to tell the truth, and said perfunctorily: "That Duanmu Fourth Girl has always been arrogant, and she fought Cen Yin last time in Huilan Garden...... Slap me in the face......"

Of course, Mu Youchang knew about this matter, and on that day, after Chu Qingyu returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, he opened his mouth to let him call the shots for her.

But Mu Youchang didn't dare to offend Cen Yin, but went to Cen Yin to accompany him in person.

Thinking about what happened at that time, Mu Youchang squinted his eyes and took another half step closer to Chu Qingyu.

He is not a fool, for no reason, how can Duanmu Fei make people talk about the princess, the two of them must not have formed a relationship at that time.

"Really?" Mu Youchang asked, his voice softer, and his tall and straight figure cast a deep shadow on Chu Qingyu's body.

Chu Qingyu swallowed his saliva and didn't let go: "That's that time." At that time, the women's school exam, the concubine was kind and spoke out to uphold justice...... The fourth girl of Duanmu has always been rude, and she felt that the concubine swept her face in public, and she was dissatisfied, so she ...... Just ......"

Chu Qingyu choked slightly, his eyes were red, and it seemed that Chu Chu was pitiful.

However, Mu Youchang's expression was still so gentle, and even the curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change at all, but the voice that came out was cloudy.

"Yu'er, this palace has always had clear grievances," he raised his hand and gently stroked Chu Qingyu's white cheeks, his fingertips were cold, "If it's because you hide something and refuse to tell the truth, this palace will miss ......"

He didn't say any more, but the threat in his words was already overflowing, and the cold aura was released faintly, which was very different from the warm and jade-like second prince on weekdays.

Chu Qingyu only felt like an ice cellar, and almost used all his strength to keep himself from trembling.

She knew that because of the Xuanguo Mansion's indifference to Mu Youchang and the fact that she hadn't helped him recently, Mu Youchang had long been dissatisfied with herself.

It has been nine months since she married the second prince Mu Youchang, although Mu Youchang has no side concubines and concubines and no intercourse, but he has only had sex with her a handful of times, so that he has not conceived a child until now...... For this reason, Mu Youchang's biological mother Wen Shufei asked her several times, and her gaze has become more and more cold recently, and she persuaded her to give Mu Youchang a side.

She is also anxious, she wants to conceive a child as soon as possible, even if it is an ordinary family, she cares about heirs, incense, not to mention the royal family.

Everyone's eyes are on her belly, and when she socializes with some women in Beijing recently, she always feels that some people look at her very strangely, like sympathy, like mockery, like embarrassment, like watching a good show......

She felt that something was wrong, and she tried a few words, but those people were all about him.

Looking at the young man with gloomy eyes in front of him, Chu Qingyu could feel in his heart that this man was different from the surface, how bright and beautiful he was on weekdays, and how ...... he was under the surface

She didn't dare to think further.

She knew she had no choice.

The warm summer breeze blew, blowing the broken hair on Chu Qingyu's cheeks a little messily on her cheeks, making her look so slender and fragile.

Mu Youchang carefully straightened her sideburns, and the cold aura on her body reined in and returned to normal.

Others watched from afar, and couldn't help but admire how considerate the second prince was to the princess.

Chu Qingyu was not, her whole body tensed, and she felt the hot breath he exhaled spray on her cheeks, and the feeling was like being licked by a poisonous snake, which made her feel the urge to run away.

But all she could do was stand still, as if an invisible web had bound her.

Mu Youchang took another half step back and gently admonished: "Yu'er, since you know that you have done something wrong, you should prepare a salute and apologize to the fourth girl." ”

"......" Chu Qingyu's lips moved, and her hands were tightly twisted in the veil, even if she tried her best to suppress it, the humiliation and unwillingness still overflowed her pupils.

She was the one who was slapped by the waiter in Huilanyuan that day, but Mu Youchang asked her to apologize to Duanmu Fei, where to put her face!!

Mu Youchang lowered his head slightly, his handsome face moved closer to her, and his voice was soft as if he muttered: "Yu'er, don't you want to?" ”

As he spoke, he casually plucked a red coral bead flower from her bun and played with it between his hands...... Then he suddenly grabbed the bead flower in the palm of his hand, and rubbed it carelessly, and the red coral beads the size of a fish were like the bead chain with broken threads, falling one after another, and the red coral beads rolled to the ground, bright red as blood......
