118 jealousy
"Feng Gongzi, the fourth girl of Duanmu. *with*dream*small*say.lΔ"
Cen Yin arched his hand at the two, casual but polite, "Feng Gongzi, the emperor summons Gongzi to see him." β
Feng Yan raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "What's the matter?" β
Duanmu Fei heard a hint of familiarity from Feng Yan's tone, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the two of them.
Feng Yan is the son of a princess, a royal nobleman, and has the grace and uninhibited nature of a child of a family, while Cen Yin is a high-ranking eunuch, and his words and deeds inevitably reveal a little feminine and evil spirit.
Cen Yin hesitated slightly.
Feng Yan looked at him with a frank expression, and stood with his hands in his hands with a smile, the breeze blowing, and the robe danced with the wind.
Cen Yin's enchanting eyes flashed with a fine light, and after a moment, he spoke: "The forbidden army exploring the path ahead has just come back and said that there are hundreds of displaced people gathered in Yulin Town, twenty miles away, for fear of disturbing the Holy Driver. The emperor wants to send troops to open the way first...... "The implication is that the emperor just wants Feng Yan to lead the troops."
Duanmu's ears moved slightly, caressing Shuangyun's neck carelessly, and his heart was like a mirror.
This was not a good errand, so the emperor let Feng Yan go.
If those are bandits, Feng Yan will lead the troops to suppress it, which is reasonable; However, the displaced people are just poor people who have fled the famine, and if they are not handled properly, they will only be criticized by others, and they will lose their reputation and people's hearts.
Duanmu Fei could think of this, Feng Yan and Cen Yin could also think of it, and the corners of their mouths were all hooked up in an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Duanmu glanced at Cen Yin on the side silently, and his mind was racing.
Soon she raised her little face and said innocently: "The emperor is a prosperous monarch, and now that the displaced people are going north, there must be disadvantageous local officials, the emperor is wise and wise, and loves the people like a son, and he will definitely want to hear whether the displaced people have grievances to sue." β
Her big black and white eyes looked at Feng Yan without blinking, trying to remind him vaguely that the emperor has always claimed to be a wise monarch and wants to live for a hundred years, as long as he grasps the emperor's psychology and fools him to listen to the voices of the homeless people, maybe Feng Yan can do this errand without using force.
Feng Yan looked down at Duanmu Fei who was standing next to the white horse, hooked his lips and smiled, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows flashed with a warm glow.
"Fourth Duanmu girl, today's first lesson will go here first."
After Feng Yan left this sentence, he left with Cen Yin.
When the two of them walked away, Duanmu Fei realized that the "first lesson" meant that there would be a "second lesson" next, and she was a little entangled for a while, so she could only say to herself, famous teachers make high apprentices.
She endured it and learned to ride a horse first!
After settling down, Duanmu Fei went back to her tent, and stayed in the stable for most of the hour, and she exuded a strange smell on her body.
Pothos and Cicada served her to bathe and change her clothes, and carefully kneaded her with medicinal oil to relax her arms.
Duanmu Fei was really tired, so he fell asleep after some casual dinner...... She was ajoked by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and she sat up from the bed with a sharp slam.
It was pitch black, and she didn't know where she was for a moment.
"Girl, it's okay." Luluo came with an oil lamp and heard the sound, and said softly, "Bi Chan went outside to inquire just now, and it was Feng Gongzi who was ordered by the emperor to take people out of the camp." If you are tired, rest for a while, the emperor has decreed that the camp will not be pulled out tomorrow. β
Hearing that Feng Yan had set off, Duanmu looked at the brocade quilt in his arms in a daze for a while, and then lay down again.
This night, Duanmu Fei slept until dawn.
Since there was no need to hurry, Duanmu Fei had breakfast, so she took Shuang Su out for a walk, stopped and stopped, looked at the scenery, and when it was dusk, she and Shuang Su went back to the stable, brushing and cleaning it like yesterday Feng Yanjiao......
Time passed quietly in the tacit cooperation of this person and horse......
The surroundings were quiet and leisurely, and suddenly Frost let out a soft hiss, raised his head and cocked his tail, and his expression showed curiosity.
Duanmu Fei followed its gaze, and then saw a tall figure like a green pine under the locust tree not far away, walking in the dust.
Feng Yan is back.
He was still wearing the dark brocade robe he wore yesterday, obviously he had just returned, his breath was clear and peaceful, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Although he hadn't said anything yet, Duanmu Fei vaguely guessed that this errand should be quite smooth.
"You're doing a good job." Feng Yan looked at the mane comb in her hand, smiled, and his chest shook.
Duanmu Fei looked at the slightly bulging place on his chest, blinked, and found that something was wrong, Feng Yan followed her gaze and looked at his placket, and then seemed to remember something, and casually took out a black hair ball from his arms, reached out and handed it to her.
"It's a thank you."
As he spoke, the hairy ball in his palm shook its wings, it was a fist-sized bird, its whole body was oily jet black, with a tender yellow beak, golden eyes, and some scattered white wing spots on the tail of the wings.
"Quack!"
The little black bird seemed to be a little panicked, and raised his head in his palm and barked twice.
This is clearly a starling who is still underage.
Seeing that Duanmu Fei didn't move, Feng Yan smiled even deeper, and said, "I persuaded those homeless people to leave Yulin Town this morning, and picked three more who could speak well, and the emperor is receiving them...... I think there will be an 'explanation' ......"
He seemed to be explaining why he was giving him this thank you gift.
And the starling didn't fly away, just stupidly screamed in the palm of his hand.
She really didn't want this "thank you gift"! Thinking about it, Duanmu Fei still accepted it obediently, and said politely: "Feng Gongzi is serious, I just said it casually and ......."
The "thank you" in her hand was fluffy and warm, trembling slightly, her tentacles were oily and slippery, and she called out pitifully: "Goo ......" interrupted her words.
Duanmu Fei thought that he had hurt it, his palm was lighter, and he leaned over, his eyes were so gentle that he could drip water, "Little guy, are you okay?" β
Feng Yan looked at her delicate side face in a daze, and the thin layer of fluff on her tender white and ruddy face seemed to be shining with a faint halo in the sun......
Bang bang!
Feng Yan's heart suddenly beat faster, and the roots of his ears were slightly hot.
He swallowed and dropped a sentence: "Its wings are injured a little, you remember to bandage it......"
Before the words fell, the others had already strode away, almost fleeing in the wilderness.
"Wait ......"
Duanmu Fei raised her head suddenly, wanting to stop Feng Yan, and wanted to say that the "stolen silver" she owed him hadn't been given yet?!
But Feng Yan has gone far......
Only the lower end of the Mu Fei and the little starling in his hand looked at each other.
"Quack?" The little starling tilted his little head innocently.
After Feng Yan in front of him turned a corner, he stopped his steps, his heartbeat like a drum gradually calmed down, and the corners of his mouth rose high.
His Vera is so cute!
Feng Yan was just about to whistle when he heard a shrill voice shouting: "Feng Gongzi!" Feng Gongzi! β
A little chamberlain panted and ran towards him, out of breath, "What's the ......matter with you?" Here, let the little ones ...... It's easy to find! "The poor little chamberlain ran all the way around this huge camp from Feng Yan's tent, and finally found Feng Yan here.
The little waiter took two breaths, saluted respectfully, and said, "Feng Gongzi, the emperor is invited!" β
"Let's go." Feng Yan didn't even lift his eyelids, he strode in the direction of Lin Puzhuang, and the little chamberlain hurriedly followed.
The emperor is now temporarily living in Linpu Village, and Zhuangzi is naturally surrounded by forbidden troops and heavy soldiers, and idlers are not allowed to enter easily unless summoned by the emperor.
Feng Yan walked to the main entrance of Zhuangzi and saw a familiar tall figure walking towards him from another direction.
"Ah Yan!" The other party faintly called Feng Yan.
Feng Yan stopped, waiting for the other party to approach without hurrying, his pace was steady, and the whole person was as tall as a bamboo.
"Father." Feng Yan clasped his fists and saluted, smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
The short four words of the father and son revealed a strong sense of strangeness, and the little chamberlain naturally felt it, and stood a few steps away with low eyebrows, not daring to disturb the father and son.
Feng Yuzhi stopped three or four paces away, and the father and son stood facing each other not far away.
Feng Yuzhi spoke first and said: "Ah Yan, your mother has always loved you, you should also think about your mother, and persuade your mother to come back to live if you have nothing to do." His words seemed to be earnestly instructive, but his tone was very cold and hard, revealing a smell of command.
Feng Yan still smiled slightly, but directly rejected Feng Yuzhi: "Father, please forgive my son for not being able to obey his orders, and my son not being able to interfere with his mother's decision." β
"You ......"
An angry rebuke was almost about to blurt out, but in the end he was pressed back by the seal, he still remembered what kind of place it was, and he couldn't let others see the joke.
Feng Yu threw off his sleeves and left, and took the lead in striding across the threshold and walking towards the Zhuangzi.
Feng Yan's face did not change, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't care about all this.
The father and son entered Zhuangzi one after the other, and they all went in the same direction, and the emperor also summoned him.
Along the way, neither of them spoke again, so that the little chamberlain who led the way did not dare to speak, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
Bypassing a Nine Dragons Zhaobi, and then passing through the courtyards of the two forbidden armies, there is a hall in front of you, the eaves are warped, the white walls are vermilion, the four sides of the main hall are open, you can see that in addition to the emperor on the top, there are several familiar figures in the hall, and several cabinet ministers such as Duanmuxian are on the side.
After an attendant went in to report, Feng Yuzhi and Feng Yan's father and son rushed in.
In the hall, the few homeless people brought by Feng Yan before were gone, and only a few traces of dirt were left on the mirror-like marble floor.
"See the Emperor." The father and son saluted the emperor on the Taishi's chair in unison.
"No courtesy." The emperor waved his hand casually, looking at Feng Yan's gentle and loving gaze, "Predict, Ah Yan's errand this time is good!" You're such a godson! β
"The minister doesn't dare to be." Feng Yuzhi's face was slightly gloomy, and he said righteously, "According to the minister, Ah Yan's handling this time is inappropriate......
The emperor's brows moved, and his right hand turned the jade wrench on his thumb.
Feng Yuzhi continued: "The emperor ordered Ah Yan to lead troops to Yulin Town to clean up the homeless people and open the way for the royal driver, but Ah Yan brought back the troublemakers without authorization, which was really disregarding the holy will and was suspected of grandstanding. Your Majesty, the ministers thought that this wind could not be fueled! β
Feng Yan stood aside, his eyes half-drooping, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his handsome face.
The emperor looked at Feng Yan with sharp eyes, with a bit of scrutiny, and the movement of turning the jade wrench finger in his right hand stopped instantly, and asked, "Ah Yan, do you have anything to say?" β
The implication is to give Feng Yan a chance to defend himself.
Feng Yan remained silent.
There was silence in the hall, and the other ministers were silent, knowing that Feng Yuzhi didn't like the only concubine, but he didn't expect that the "dislike" would come to this point.
However, this is a household matter for them to close the family, and to put it mildly, even the law cannot punish the father when he kills the son.
At this time, Cen Yin opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Lord Feng is really a strict father, no wonder the saying says that a strict father is a filial son." This can be embarrassing for Feng Gongzi, after all, 'the son does not speak of the father'. β
The Son does not speak of the Father, and in its entirety, the Son does not speak of the Father.
It's no wonder that Feng Yan kept silent. The emperor was relieved, although Ah Yan had been living in the princess's mansion with Anping and had little contact with the Feng family, it seemed that he was not a disobedient and unfilial person.
The smile on Cen Yin's beautiful face deepened, and he continued: "Your Majesty, it's rare to leave Beijing, don't spoil your interest for the sake of the homeless people. β
The emperor smiled and bowed slightly, it was very simple to sweep away these homeless people, but it was inevitable that they would make a big move, causing serious casualties among the homeless. In contrast, Feng Yan's errand this time was much more appropriate.
The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then took the topic lightly, and said: "In advance, it is right for a strict father to be a filial son, and you should not be too strict with Ah Yan." After a pause, the emperor changed his words, "Ah Yan, you send those displaced people who were in Yulin Town to the capital for resettlement for the time being, and wait for me to return to Beijing." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Feng Yan hugged his fists and took the order, so he retreated first, and after half an hour, the whole army left the camp.
The holy driver resumed driving early the next morning.
Duanmufei, who failed to learn to ride a horse, sat in the carriage during the day and followed the convoy to the road, until the convoy stopped in the evening before he could brush the horses and walk the horses, and the rest of the time was to play with Wuyang and them.
On the tenth day of the first month of October, the holy car finally arrived at the Xiyuan Hunting Palace.
Xiyuan Hunting Palace is located at the foot of Jiuxiu Mountain, covering a vast area, surrounded by mountains and rivers, like a behemoth quietly crawling there.
After the expansion of several generations of emperors in Dasheng, this hunting palace now occupies more than three times the area of the imperial palace, which is enough to accommodate the emperor and all the officials and families accompanying him.
The emperor lived in the main hall in the center of the hunting palace, and several princes, princesses, princes and other clansmen were distributed around the palace courtyard with the emperor as the center, and then there were the residences of those officials and their families.
There are gardens, martial arts arenas, and library pavilions in the hunting palace...... There are also all kinds of pavilions, flowers, birds, ponds, fish, magnificent.
Duanmu Fei was supposed to live in Wenxi Pavilion in the northeast of the Hunting Palace with Duanmu Xian, but the plan changed a little unexpectedly, and with Duanmu Xian's consent, she was invited to live in Yaohua Palace in Wuyang.
This time, the hunting queen did not accompany her, and Wuyang, as the eldest princess, was the most noble one among the female dependents.
After everyone settled down a little, those ladies came to Yaohua Palace one after another to greet them, and for a while, people came and went in Yaohua Palace, and there was an endless stream.
After sending away a few more noble ladies who came to ask for peace, Duanmu Fei saw that Wuyang's little face was full of "trouble", so he proposed with a smile: "Sister Wuyang, instead of everyone coming and going in batches like this, it is better for you to hold a small banquet to entertain everyone, saving trouble and time!" β
Wuyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his palm and praised: "Sister Scarlet, you have a good idea." β
After speaking, she turned her head and instructed the palace maid on the side:
"After an hour, the palace will arrange a small banquet in Cuiwei Garden, and tell them to go down, if anyone comes to greet them, invite them to Cuiwei Garden......"
"Send some more posts out, and invite some boys and girls to play in the park together......"
"By the way, find two more luthiers and singers to sing a little song and have a good time."
After Wuyang gave some orders, the palace maid hurriedly received the order.
The palace room was quiet, Wuyang felt light, as if relieved, and leisurely rested with Duanmu Fei in the tea, and the sweet fragrance of Longjing washed away the tiredness.
About half an hour later, the two of them got up, and under the guidance of the palace maid, they laughed and walked towards the Cuiwei Garden in the southeast of the Hunting Palace.
Outside, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was time for the sunset to fill the sky.
The air in the hunting palace is fresh and pleasant, looking up, you can see the rolling hills not far away, the grass and trees are verdant, and the endless beauty is in full view.
Duanmu Fei and Wuyang meander along a bluestone path, and after bypassing a rockery, two familiar figures come into view.
Two handsome young men are sitting in an octagonal pavilion, as if enjoying the scenery.
"Cousin Yan, Ah Ran!"
Wuyang's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, and he called out loudly.
In the next moment, I saw two gray birds fluttering their wings from behind the gazebo and fluttering away......
Hearing the prestige, Feng Yan stood up and walked out of the pavilion.
I haven't seen him for a few days, Feng Yan seems to be refreshed, he wears a green lotus-colored moire flower straight, with a dark embroidered gourd-shaped purse hanging on one side of the jade brocade belt around his waist, and a piece of flawless, crystalline white mutton fat jade pendant hung on the blue palace silk on the other side, and a crow-like black hair is tied up with a white cloud hairpin, revealing his angular face, in the soft light of the setting sun, his face is like jade, rich and handsome.
The beautiful young man was dressed in fresh clothes and jade belts, as dazzling as the rising sun, which attracted Duanmu Fei to take a second look, only to feel that his dress today seemed to be a little ...... Too flashy.
"Cousin Yan, have you just arrived?" Wuyang smiled and said, "I'm still worried about your cousin, you won't be able to catch up with tomorrow morning's hunt." β
Before Feng Yan could speak, Jun Ran, who came behind him, had already answered for him: "Ah Yan just arrived half an hour ago. β
Jun Ran deliberately increased the volume on the word "just arrived", and his meaningful gaze wandered back and forth on Duanmu Fei and Feng Yan's bodies.
Wuyang wanted to ask the two if they were going to Cuiwei Garden, but when the words came to his lips, he caught a glimpse of a bamboo sieve in a clearing behind the pavilion, which was held up diagonally by a branch and sprinkled with some grains below.
Wuyang blinked and smiled understandingly, "Ah Ran, Cousin Yan, you guys were catching sparrows just now?" β
"Yes," Jun Ran snapped and opened the folding fan, and deliberately complained with a smile, "It's a pity that the sparrows were scared away by you and the four girls!" β
He said, obviously the two of them said that they were going to Cuiwei Garden, why did Ah Yan suddenly propose to catch sparrows here halfway!
It turned out that Ah Yan was dressed up so flamboyantly in order to "catch" another "little sparrow" in this inevitable way!
Interesting, really interesting!
Duanmu Fei didn't notice Jun Ran's interested eyes, his eyes looked at the sieve in a daze, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Feng Yan won't stuff her a sparrow as a "thank you gift", right?!
Thinking of the little starling in her house who "croaks" every day, she really has a big head.
He must not be left here to catch sparrows......
Duanmu Fei said to himself in his heart, and hurriedly proposed with a smile: "Sister Wuyang, the prince of the world, the prince of Feng, the time is almost up, let's go to Cuiwei Garden together." β
The other three responded one after another, and the four of them walked in the direction of Cuiwei Garden.
The setting sun is gradually setting, covering this hunting palace with a soft red gauze, although the twilight is about to fall, but it is full of vitality, as if this day has just begun.
The closer you get to Cuiwei Garden, the more lively the surroundings are, and along the way, you can see some sons and girls walking in the same direction in pairs.
As soon as they saw Wuyang and the others, they stepped forward to salute, and when the group came to Cuiwei Garden, there were already seven or eight more people beside them, talking and laughing, laughing and laughing.
The palace maid who led the way in front led everyone to a small lake in the center of Cuiwei Garden, the lake water is clear and blue, and the afterglow of the sunset is gently sprinkled on the surface of the lake, sparkling, and the water color is quiet.
A few plane trees by the lake shade the sky and the sun, forming a large natural pergola.
In the open space under the tree, at a glance, there are crowds of people, fragrant clothes and sideburns, so lively.
When Duanmu Fei, Feng Yan, and Wuyang approached, they could see one of the familiar faces, including the three princesses including Han Xing, the county lords and county lords of several clans, and the sons and daughters of those noble officials and eunuchs, etc., at least twenty or thirty people, gathered in groups of three or five, or talking, playing or boating.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! β
Several bamboo arrows were thrown from the hands of three or four girls, and fell into the pot with zero landing, and the crisp sound of falling pots came and went, and occasionally the bamboo arrows not only fell short, but also accidentally knocked down the iron kettle, which attracted a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
"Whoosh! Sou! β
There were two throwing sounds, and the two bamboo arrows fell into the ears on both sides of the same iron kettle, and the impact of the bamboo arrows and the iron kettle was simply loud.
"Connecting the ears!" A girl in green clothes stroked her palms and praised, "Miss Chu San, your pot-throwing skills are really impressive!" β
The other two girls next to her also surrounded Chu Qing and praised a few words.
"A few girls have won awards, but it's just a small skill of carving insects, it's just a coincidence."
Chu Qingyu, who was wearing a light purple embroidered skirt, smiled slightly, looking elegant and generous, with the demeanor of a family daughter.
As she spoke, out of the corner of her eye, she saw more than a dozen boys and girls walking towards this side surrounded by a dancer dressed in a red riding costume.
Chu Qingyu's gaze swept over these young girls quickly, and then his eyes lit up, stopping at a tall blue lotus-colored figure.
The facial features on the handsome face of the young boy are delicate and flawless, and he talks and laughs freely, and the glamorous sons and girls around him are eclipsed, and they have become vulgar fans with blurred faces.
Seal the flames!
Chu Qingyu's eyes bloomed with an unusually hot light, and he wanted to take half a step forward, but before he took a step, he paused in an instant.
As Feng Yan walked, he casually broke off a branch of hibiscus from the flowers on the side, but handed it to a petite and cute girl beside him.
The girl was only about ten years old, and her fair and pretty face was still childish, and she was smiling and playing with the pink hibiscus flower, smiling like a flower.
The two talked and laughed and seemed to know each other very well.
Chu Qingyu stared at the delicate hibiscus flower with a stunned expression.
Since ancient times, "hibiscus" has been used to refer to beauty.
The flower language of hibiscus is a noble person, a beautiful and pure beauty.
However, how could it be "her"?!
Chu Qingyu's face showed a hint of complexity, his eyes flashed, and he almost suspected that he had seen it wrong.
If she hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes at this moment, she would never have imagined that Feng Yan would get together with Duanmu Fei, and they would be quite happy.
The identities and status of these two people are very different, and they shouldn't be able to fight together!
Staring at Duanmu Fei's innocent little face, Chu Qingyu clenched his fists, his eyes were dark, and his heart was churning, I don't know whether he was more envious or more annoyed.
Recalling the April Condensation Meeting, Chu Qingyu still doesn't understand what went wrong, so he missed the opportunity to meet Feng Yan; Later, there was an unexpected variable at the longevity banquet, and he failed to help Feng Yan set things right...... So much so that until now, she has not been able to show her face in front of Feng Yan to impress him.
On the contrary, when he didn't know it, this Duanmu Fei seemed to have a hint of favor from Feng Yan......
How so?!
Obviously, Chu Qingci is no longer there, how can there be another Duanmu Fei?!
What went wrong?!
Chu Qingyu's eyes were like the sea on that stormy night, and there were turbulent waves, churning endlessly.
She took a deep breath, settled down, and said to herself in her heart, she can't mess up by herself, she still has a chance, and autumn hunting is her best chance!
This Duanmu Fei, like Chu Qingci, is destined to die early, and he will definitely not be able to compete with himself!
You can't panic......
Chu Qingyu suppressed the turbulence in his heart, and casually leaned over to pick up a bamboo arrow and threw it casually.
Her heart was in turmoil, and the arrow went in the wrong direction, and it brushed the spout of the kettle crookedly, hitting the iron kettle and swaying slightly...... But no one cared, the attention of those sons and girls was attracted by Wuyang, and the princesses and nobles, including Hanxing, all stepped forward to salute Wuyang.
For a while, the dancing sun was surrounded by people like the stars and the moon, and the surroundings were lively and noisy.
After a while, everyone gradually dispersed and went their separate ways to have fun.
Duanmu Fei, Wuyang, and Hanxing sat around a few red lacquer carved tables near the lake, and after the palace maid served tea, everyone was leisurely tasting tea. At the same time, a beautiful sound of the piano sounded, smooth and bright, like the tinkling of the spring water of the mountain stream.
Good tea and good music make everyone feel comfortable and comfortable.
"Ah Yan, Ah Ran," after a while, Xie Yu from the Cheng'en Mansion came with a group of fox friends and dog friends, "How boring it is to sit, come with us to throw pots!" β
Feng Yan didn't even lift his eyelids, and arrogantly only gave two words: "Don't go." β
Jun Ran secretly laughed to himself, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said "with no conscience": "How tired it is to throw pots, it is better to play with shooting!" β
The so-called "shooting" is a kind of drinking order, "shooting" is guessing, and "covering" is covering.
It means that the person who wrote the question hid an object or a written note in an upside-down cup and saucer in advance, and then said a hidden word, so that people guessed, and if they didn't guess correctly, they would be fined a glass of wine.
Compared to throwing pots, shooting is really not tiring.
Xie Yu, these sons and brothers have a headache when they study on weekdays, but when they play the wine order, they don't have to worry about it one by one.
"Shoot well!" Xie Yu immediately responded cheerfully, "Then how about limiting the things in this garden?" β
"Shooting" generally has to set a range first, otherwise if the questioner whimsically makes a random question on the note, then the person who guesses the puzzle will be too clueless.
So, several sons sat down around the mahogany carved tables, Xie Yu instructed the palace maids on the side to get some dishes and pen and ink, etc., everyone talked and laughed, all of them were full of interest, and their eyebrows danced.
The excitement here naturally attracted a lot of attention from all around, including Chu Qingyu.
Since Feng Yan and Duanmu Fei appeared together, Chu Qingyu has been absent-minded, and after three consecutive pot throwing failures, she simply put down the bamboo arrows and walked towards Duanmu Fei and Wuyang by the lake.
Chu Qingyu gradually approached, and Duanmu Fei naturally noticed it, and the teacup that had just reached his lips paused.
In the evening breeze at dusk, a few strands of hair on Chu Qingyu's sideburns were blown by the wind, caressing on the peach-like cheeks, and between the steps, the lilac-colored pleated skirt skirt fluttered like butterfly wings, giving birth to lotus step by step.
Chu Qingyu greeted several princesses and the county lord Ying Yingyifu, and then looked at Duanmu Fei, "Duanmu Fourth Girl, meet again." Between the words, Chu Qingyu looked at Duanmu Fei with a very subtle look, as if he had really caught the delicate girl in front of him at this moment.
Duanmu Fei could vaguely feel that Chu Qingyu's attitude towards him today seemed to be a little different from the past, but he couldn't think of why.
"Miss Chu San." Duanmu Fei saluted her chin.
Chu Qingyu smiled slightly, showing an intimate look in her expression, "Fourth Duanmu girl, you are the first time to hunt with the imperial driver, right?" I must be very unfamiliar with this hunting palace, why don't I take you around tomorrow and familiarize yourself with the environment? β
"Thank you Miss Chu San for your kindness." Duanmu refused with a smile, "I'll follow Sister Wuyang...... It's good to be with cousin Hanxing. β
Chu Qingyu's smile froze for a moment, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
The corners of Wuyang's lips were slightly upturned, and she said in her heart: Her scarlet sister is in line with her heart when she speaks!
Even Han Xing nodded secretly in his heart, this fourth cousin of the Duanmu family finally had some realization, and he was her own cousin.
Chu Qingyu took a deep breath, then smiled casually, and said in an envious tone: "The fourth girl of Duanmu is really likable, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is like a sister, and the prince of the king and the prince of Feng also treat the girl as if they are their own sisters......
Chu Qingyu said with emotion, and asked casually: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I remember that Ling Zun served under King Jian when he was alive, didn't the girl meet with Jun Shizi and Feng Gongzi in the north?" β
Duanmu said with a smile: "Yes." "It's naΓ―ve.
Chu Qingyu couldn't help but stumble, of course she knew that Duanmu Fei and her sister had been in the capital for more than three years, and they had just been removed from the service until the beginning of the year. And Feng Yan only went to the north two and a half years ago, and it is impossible for the two to meet in the north!
She asked this, just to find out how the two met, but she didn't expect Duanmu Fei to be so cunning at a young age, casually lying and deliberately perfunctory, it's just too hateful!
Of course, Chu Qingyu refused to stop there, reluctantly held back the anger in his heart, and asked again: "Are the fourth girl and Feng Gongzi ...... very familiar?"
"Miss Chu San." Wuyang put down the teacup heavily, and the sound of the teacup hitting the table was a little harsh, attracting several curious glances from the surroundings.
Wuyang didn't care, and reprimanded mockingly: "You are a girl from a dignified country, how can you be wordy like a third aunt and six wives!" β
Wuyang didn't lower his voice, and the others naturally heard it, and couldn't help but point at Chu Qingyu one after another.
This dancing sun is really nosy! Chu Qingyu's face flushed in an instant, and he glared at Wuyang fiercely, and the eyes of the two intersected in mid-air, sparks flowing.
For a while, there was an undercurrent surging in the air, quite a bit of the smell of gunpowder, which was about to explode.
