Chapter 2: Lixia
The catkins flying all over the sky made Qingluan sneeze greatly, and Yuzhu next to him held a plate of cherries and said nervously: "County Lord, but you have a cold?" ”
Qingluan rubbed her nose, "No." His eyes stared at the water on the surface of the river without blinking, and he whispered, "Don't make noise, beware of the fish being scared away by you." ”
Yuzhu pouted, put the cherry in her hand on the small bamboo table by the pool, was silent for a moment, and saw that the county lord still did not move, so she whispered: "County lord, the sun is about to go down this day, let's go back." ”
Qingluan glanced at her, "You move the small stools back to the house first, and I'll go back immediately." ”
Yuzhu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly responded, packing up the things that had been placed by the pool and returning to the house.
The county lord didn't know what was going on for a while, he stayed outside every day and didn't want to go back to the house, and he didn't even take a nap, and fished by this pool for a few days in a row.
The lotus pond is full of koi fish, the eldest princess's favorite, the county lord she first used a net to fish, and then threw the net, one by one to fish them out, and then threw them down, so that these fish no longer want to approach the shore.
"I don't believe I can't catch you!"
By the pool, Qingluan sat on a low bamboo chair and stared at the pond with gritted teeth, she must catch out the few spotted anchovy goldfish sent by Xiao Boyan three years ago, and then smash them to death, and then send them to the guy in the western Xinjiang, in order to show her disgust and contempt for him.
"Aman, why are you still at the water's edge?"
The eldest princess came and looked at her beloved daughter with a smile, "It's cold, let's go back to the house quickly." As he spoke, he pulled up Qingluan, who looked unwilling, and took her back to the bedroom.
Gently brushed away the catkins stained on her daughter Ruyu's little face with her hand, and said softly: "The person who is going to get married, he is still so willful, and when he arrives at his mother-in-law's house, beware of his mother-in-law's dislike." ”
Qingluan's little face collapsed instantly, and she shook her mother's sleeve and said: "Mother, I told you, I don't want to marry Xiao Boyan, he is not a good person, you go and tell your uncle, is it okay to cancel this marriage?" ”
Princess Fule said angrily: "Talking nonsense again, this family affair was also asked by yourself, how can this son regret it!" Stop messing around, watch out for your dad coming back and pumping you. ”
"Mother, I really don't like him anymore, ah, by the way, he still has a good match, that is Fang Qingru......"
"Shut up!" The eldest princess frowned and shouted, "It's getting more and more unruly!" This can also be nonsense! That Fang Qingru is the concubine of Mrs. Fang, a boudoir woman who has not yet left the pavilion, how can you climb indiscriminately without evidence? ”
Qingluan was secretly anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
In memory, Fang Qingru was elected to the palace this year and became her uncle's Zhaoyi, but somehow later became Xiao Boyan's queen.
No way! Don't let your uncle admit her into the palace. At that time, his uncle, who was only thirty years old and in the prime of life, died suddenly, and it must have a lot to do with this woman. Otherwise, how could Xiao Boyan marry her as his queen? Even if she loves deeply, it is impossible to risk the disapproval of the world, and if she is the concubine of the first emperor, she must have done something rebellious for Xiao Boyan.
There is also that Fang Taifu, Xiao Boyan can inherit the unification, and that old man will definitely make a big effort.
Fang Taifu's grandfather was a favorite minister of Emperor Xiao of the previous dynasty, and it is said that he was also powerful at that time, but he didn't expect their family to harbor evil intentions so much.
Speaking of which, Xiao Boyan also has half royal blood, his mother is Princess Fule's cousin Anping County Lord, and his father is the grandson of the Xiao family of the previous dynasty.
The dynasty surnamed Li inherited the unification for more than 50 years, and it was the ancestors who plotted to seize the world of the Xiao family.
Qingluan didn't hate Xiao Boyan for plotting to seize the throne, but hated him for killing his father and mother, this time, whether he was a dream or not, he would try his best to prevent this disaster from happening.
Even if she can't stop it, she also wants her father and mother to leave this scourge nest early, even if she lives in seclusion in the countryside, it is better than dying in the end without a place to be buried.
Speaking of which, the first rebel was Shouwang Li Yan, the half-brother of the emperor's grandfather, but somehow in the end, Li Yan and his family were all executed, even the one-year-old children were not spared, and the rest of the Li kings and their descendants also died quietly within a few years.
Now my father has 200,000 soldiers in his hands, and he will be handed over to Xiao Boyan after he gets married.
If he and Xiao Boyan broke the marriage contract, maybe the military power in the hands of his father would not be handed over to that guy.
"Mother, I really know that the Shouwang rebelled three years later, and then his uncle and his ...... Anyway, in the end, Xiao Boyan ascended the throne as the emperor......"
This is the second time she has told her mother, but she just doesn't believe it.
Sure enough, Princess Fule was so frightened that she looked out of the door, and when she saw that her mother-in-law and girl were not in the yard, she breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and pinched her daughter's arm, and said angrily with a cold face: "Say it again!" Believe it or not, I'll hit you on the board! ”
Princess Fule was also frightened by her daughter for a while, and she didn't dare to ask many girls to come and wait, until she was sick last time, and she spoke falsely again, so shocked that she didn't dare to let her daughter go out for a moment.
"Don't say such things in front of the third, no one! It's your uncle...... Can't say either! "These are all royal taboos, she is a young girl who has just reached the gym, and she is open-mouthed, she is really too indulgent to her.
Qingluan snorted, climbed onto the couch and lay down, pulling the quilt over and covering his face.
She couldn't convince her mother to believe her, and she couldn't produce strong evidence in the near future that she wasn't crazy and hysterical.
Seeing her daughter's aggrieved appearance, Princess Fule sighed, sat on the edge of the couch and said softly: "Aman, tomorrow I will go to Ling'an Temple with my mother to worship the Buddha and show the master the pulse." ”
The whimsical appearance of her daughter really looks like she has fallen into evil.
Qingluan knew that she couldn't convince her mother for the time being, so she had to nod her head and agree.
also blamed her for having a messy life in her last life, thinking about Xiao Boyan all over her mind, knowing that he likes gentle and talented women, although she can't write poems, she has been describing calligraphy for a few years, and the words can still be seen.
At this time, the guy was still in the frontier and had not returned, and in addition to practicing swords and martial arts with his master in the house every day, he also learned some embroidery and red painting, and by the way, he wrote a letter to Xiao Boyan every month, and then sent some clothes, shoes and socks made by her.
Those shoes and socks are not all made by her, most of them are helped by the girls, and she occasionally has two stitches.
Those noble ladies are also impatient to go to the tea talk poetry party, except for some contact with Xiao Luo, she has almost become a real deep house lady in recent years.
"County Lord, Second Young Master Xiao is here." Yuzhu lifted the bead curtain and said softly.
Xiao Luo? Qingluan lifted the quilt and jumped up, "It's good to come, let him wait for me in the front hall." ”
Xiao Luo was first her apprentice to teach her master, and then the martial master entered Wei Dehou's mansion as a doorman and taught Qingluan martial arts, so Xiao Luo can be regarded as her senior brother.
He came today to pick up the letter he sent to Xiao Boyan, but now, Qingluan will never do such a senseless stupid thing again.
She wondered if all the things she had sent in the previous two or three years would be thrown away by Xiao Boyan's wife? After all, he was so disgusted with himself, he had been married for more than four years in his previous life, and he had been with her for less than three months.
When I think about it, the remorse and shame in my heart are even worse.
Xiao Luo sat in the front hall and waited for two teas before he saw a bright and beautiful girl come in from outside the door.
I saw that she was wearing a begonia red sprinkled gold jacket, a lead-pink rhombic gauze long skirt, her hair was not pulled up, only a braid was tied at the back of her head, and her little face was as white as jade without powder, slightly baby fat, her eyes were like paint, her nose was straight, and the corners of her eyebrows were flying, with her innate dignity and brightness.
Xiao Luo flashed, stood up and stepped forward with a smile: "Senior sister." ”
