Duanmu Xian was about to speak, but Mu Youxian took the first step and said to Prince An: "Uncle Huang doesn't know, the military affairs in the south are in charge of General Yan, and a military report has always been sent back every ten years. ”

"......" Prince An was choked up, and his face was not very good-looking.

The expressions of the other people present who looked at Mu Youxian also became a little strange, as if they had reacquainted with him.

Some people secretly exchanged glances: The eldest prince has been training outside for several years, and this time he came back, it was really different. Look at this scheming, this eloquence, much smarter than the jumping up and down of the Chengen Mansion.

Prince An was not very happy in his heart, and said: "Imperial nephew, the military report returns to the army......

"Lord Wang," Duanmuxian didn't show any mercy to Prince An, and interrupted him in public, "The urgent military report of eight hundred miles in the south has just been received two days ago, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince knows that it is not the latest military information, so don't be kind enough to do bad things and delay the military plane." ”

Duanmu Xian's words and words mean something, with insinuations.

The corners of Prince An's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly and skimmed his head.

Another war without gunpowder smoke passed in the words and swords of several people.

After visiting the sick emperor, Duanmu Xian and the others withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, leaving Mu Youxian alone to serve the sick.

Almost as soon as he left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Duanmu Xian's face stiffened, and he stopped to look at Prince An, who was only a few steps away from him, and his elegant face was sharp on weekdays.

When the sun is blocked by cloudy clouds, the weather suddenly becomes a little cooler, and the autumn wind is blowing.

Prince An also stopped, and did not avoid Duanmu Xian's gaze, his expression was light.

Others may be afraid of Duanmu Xian's first assistant, but he is not afraid, is it difficult for Duanmu Xian to give him small shoes to wear? !

In the end, everyone is also for that dragon skill!

Prince An stroked his sleeves and strode away, the corners of his mouth curled proudly, and his eyes were shining.

Although it seems that the queen and the four princes are weak during this period of time, Cen Yin has targeted the queen and the Chengen Mansion again and again in order to suppress the four princes, but now that the eldest prince is back, it is different.

With Cen Yin's authoritarian and arbitrary character, will he still be able to tolerate Duan Muxian jumping up and down there?!

Looking at Prince An's distant back, You Junji took two steps forward, raised his hand and patted Duan Muxian's shoulder, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be annoyed, nothing happened today." As he spoke, his voice lowered by two points, "'They' are so petty and short-sighted when they do things. ”

You Junji also looks down on the Chengen Mansion in his heart. It's not because the Xie family is a relative, and there is no shortage of capable relatives recorded in this history book, but the Xie family's style is the same as that of the nouveau riche, to put it in layman's terms, that is, wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince.

Thinking about the things that the Xie family had made in the past two months, You Junji secretly shook his head, it is conceivable that if it was the four princes who came back from the south today, the Xie family would have to try their best to publicize it all over the city.

Unlike the Great Prince......

You Junji turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, in contrast, the eldest prince was much calmer and low-key in the past few years when he went to the southern realm.

"Dude." You Junji quickly retracted his gaze, patted Duanmu Xian's shoulder again, and reminded him euphemistically, "However, you should also pay attention to it, the queen mother is the mother of His Royal Highness the Great Prince after all......"

If the queen wants to find an excuse to pinch the eldest prince, the eldest prince is afraid that he will suffer some grievances.

"I understand." Duanmu Xian looked at Yun Dan and the wind was light, but his heart was far less indifferent than he appeared.

You Junji said these truths, how could Duanmu Xian not understand, if it weren't for this, why would the eldest prince be "forced" to return to Beijing at this time.

In Duanmuxian's opinion, it is nothing for the eldest prince to be slightly wronged, as long as the eldest prince does not become the queen, the fourth prince and the Chengen Mansion.

Judging from Fang Cai, his previous speculation was indeed correct.

Cheng Engong and they just wanted to put the eldest prince and the Duanmu family on the fire to roast, and wanted them to face Cen Yin head-on......

Cen Yin has been good to his four girls over the years, but in Duanmu Xian's opinion, this favor is just an adult teasing a child, how can it be compared with his brothers and sisters, if Cen Yin has a misunderstanding of the Duanmu family, I don't know if he will be angry with the four girls......

Ay!

It is said that the Duanmu family has too shallow foundation in the court after all, and he is now the first assistant, looking at the flowers and brocade, in fact, it is like a fire and oil, as long as he falls, the Duanmu family will also fall......

Duanmu Xian rubbed his eyebrows, since the matter of the eldest prince's return to Beijing was decided, he was worried about this matter, thinking about it, except for taking it step by step, being cautious and cautious, there was no other way for a while.

That's fine. The water comes to cover the earth.

Since he can't figure it out, Duanmu Xian doesn't want to think about it for the time being.

You Junji saw that he had something on his mind, so he proposed: "Why don't we go to Half Moon Lake to relax and have a cup of tea?" "It's also a rare time to take a break from the busy.

Duanmuxian also had a headache thinking about the official documents of the cabinet, and he responded to the broken jar.

When the two of them were about to arrive at the gate of the palace, a small waiter's panting voice suddenly came from behind: "Lord Duanmu...... Duanmu-sama. ”

Duanmuxian and You Junji stopped.

The little chamberlain quickly ran to the two of them, and said to Duanmu Xianyu: "Lord Duanmu, the concubine Niangniang ordered the little one to tell the adults that the concubine Niangniang wants to leave the fourth girl in the palace for one night and go back tomorrow." ”

Duanmu Fei has been used to living in the palace all these years, and he will be called by Hanxing to live every three or five days, although the current queen may trouble her, but her little granddaughter's backer is very hard, and she is probably safer in the palace than the Luhua Pavilion outside, Duanmu Xian was not worried at all, and responded with a smile, "I know", and sent the little waiter away.

After the little chamberlain saluted again, he hurried back to Zhong Cui Palace.

Han Xing has always been unable to sit still, and chatted with Duanmu Guifei for a while, and his heart began to be wild again.

"Cousin Scarlet, the weather is good today," Han Xing took Duanmu Fei's little hand and whispered to her, "It's windy, it's just right for paper kites, don't you say?" ”

She didn't lower her volume at all in her "whisper", not so much for Duanmu Fei, but for Duanmu Guifei.

Han Xing didn't hide it, and looked at Duanmu Guifei with his eyes, and his clear pupils were full of expectations.

"......" Duanmu Guifei has always had nothing to do with this daughter, and her face was only tense for a few breaths, so she couldn't help laughing, "You two can go play if you want, but, when you are the first child, you two remember to come back and have dinner together." Duanmu Guifei specially told the two little girls.

"Uh-huh." Han Xing knew that the eldest brother would also go back to Zhongcui Palace for dinner in the evening, so he was busy and agreed, "Mother concubine, don't worry, Erchen and Cousin Scarlet are playing in the imperial garden, and they can't delay dinner." ”

"Scarlet cousin, let's go, take the paper kite!" Han Xing smiled brightly, and was about to pull Duanmu Fei to get up, but he paused again, and muttered to himself, "...... The original two paper kites in the main palace are old and not good-looking. ”

Han Xing thought that one came out and one came out, and then turned his head to Congzhen and ordered: "Congzhen, you hurry up and go to the Inner Court Division to see if there are any new tribute paper kites this year." ”

So, Congzhen hurriedly took the order and left.

After the cousins drank a cup of tea, a few little attendants came to the Zhongcui Palace in a hurry, and sent seven or eight paper kites of various colors and shapes, all of which were well-made and vividly depicted.

When these paper kites are spread out one by one in the hall, they are dazzling and dizzying.

Hanxing lingered beside those paper kites, his eyes were shining, and he felt that each of them was good-looking.

"Scarlet cousin, you look at this phoenix paper kite painting so beautifully!"

"And this dragonfly paper kite, which looks complicated, but has a light skeleton."

"This peacock paper kite is not bad, you see, it looks like a person?"

Han Xing pressed the top wooden scarlet with his shoulder, smiling sheepishly.

Duanmu Fei looked at the colorful peacock paper kite in front of him in confusion, and said in his heart: It's a good job, but isn't this a peacock?! Like whom?

Duanmu Guifei saw that her little niece was looking at the paper kite intently, and quietly pulled her daughter to the side, meaning that she had something to say to her.

Han Xing is still a little reluctant, she hasn't picked the paper kite yet.

"Hanxing," Duanmu Guifei cautiously leaned into her daughter's ear and bit her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You can find a chance to ask your cousin, what does your cousin think about her own family affairs?" ”

"......" Hanxing crooked his little face, and after being stunned, he looked at his mother and concubine with a strange look, and said bluntly, "Cousin Jun has an interest in someone." ”

Could it be that the concubine wants to be a matchmaker for her cousin? Thinking like this, she said again, "Mother, don't mess with the mandarin duck score." ”

What the?! Duanmu Guifei's red and plump lips opened slightly, she couldn't believe her ears, and her body froze there as if she had been struck by lightning.

In the past few years, because her son didn't know when he would be able to return to Beijing in the south, she didn't want to take advantage of the pressure to prevent Duanmu Jun from getting married, so she wanted to wait a little longer, and also watched the fate of these two children.

Although Duanmu Guifei didn't mention the marriage, she kept looking at Duanmujun and knew that Duanmujun hadn't decided to marry yet.

In the early years, Duanmujun once said that she would not consider her own marriage until her sister Duanmufei got married, so Duanmu Guifei always thought that Duanmujun had not married for this reason all these years.

For the sake of her son, she privately hopes that Duanmujun can delay for another two years and wait for her son to return triumphantly.

Now that her son has finally returned, she wants to set the marriage, but she never thought that Duanmujun was already interested in someone?

Duanmu Guifei's eyes flickered, a little confused, and she couldn't think calmly for a while.

She picked up the teacup and brought it to her mouth, but she put the teacup down again without taking a sip, and looked up at Duanmufei, who was still looking at the peacock paper kite.

This doesn't make sense! Duanmu Guifei looked at Duanmu Fei, but she was still thinking of her sister Duanmu Jun.

If Duanmujun has an intention to fall in love with someone, shouldn't she have decided on the marriage early? !

Duanmu Jun is eighteen years old, and she is in the prime of marriage, so she can't really wait until Duanmu Fei and Lu get married before she talks about marriage, right?

So, how long will she have to wait for her marriage?

The Duanmu family can afford to wait, so can the man afford to wait?!

The more Duanmu Guifei thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, pulled her daughter's sleeve, and asked in a low voice: "Hanxing, are you sure this matter is true?" ”

Han Xing was a little absent-minded, his mind had already slipped to the paper kite over there, and replied, "It was Cousin Scarlet who said it." There shouldn't be a fake. ”

"Then do you know who your cousin's sweetheart is?" Duanmu Guifei hurriedly asked again.

I don't know. Han Xing shook his head honestly.

"What's the last name?" Duanmu Guifei asked again with a glimmer of hope.

Han Xing shook his head again.

"......" Duanmu Guifei looked at this heartless daughter and was speechless.

Doesn't this girl like to inquire about the news and join in the fun?

She inquired a lot about it, and when it came to the critical moment, she didn't know what to ask.

Hanxing spent most of his thoughts on Duanmu Fei and the paper kite, and left Duanmu Guifei with a smile and ran away, "Cousin Scarlet, which paper kite did you choose?" According to the palace, you can simply pick this 'peacock'! Look at how beautiful this peacock is! ”

Han Xing smiled happily, and when he thought of Duanmu Fei going to put this peacock paper kite, he had the feeling that Cousin Yan was being used as a paper kite by his little cousin to play with.

It's so much fun! Han Xing's pupils were shining.

Duanmu Fei always felt that Han Xing's expression looked a little strange, but he didn't get entangled, and nodded with a smile: "Then this peacock paper kite." ”

"Let's go, let's let the paper kite go."

Han Xing was even happier, and randomly picked one of the most gorgeous phoenix paper kites, and left happily with Duanmu Fei and a few palace maids.

As the two little girls walked, they said as pleasantly as the spring of the spring mountain stream.

When they were far away, the east side hall gradually became quiet.

Only Duanmu Guifei and Mama Cheng were left in the east side hall.

Outside the window, a few green bamboos rustle in the autumn wind, and the house is exceptionally quiet inside and outside, so quiet that people feel a little panicked.

Mama Cheng is a close confidant of Duanmu Guifei, of course she knows her intentions.

She looked at Duanmu Guifei without saying anything, and hesitantly proposed: "Guifei Niangniang, the slave maid thinks it is better to find an opportunity to let Duanmu Dafei enter the palace in a few days, and you can ask in person." ”

"You also know that Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess has a temperament that jumps out, and she is hot for everything, maybe...... Maybe His Highness didn't figure it out. ”

The hall was quiet for a moment, only the rustle of bamboo leaves swaying outside the window was endless.

Duanmu Guifei rubbed her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Mama Cheng, what you said is that it is better to ask Sister Jun in this palace." "It's better than guessing here herself.

Duanmu Guifei sighed helplessly, feeling that her son's luck was really bad.

Mama Cheng was also very embarrassed in her heart, and said cautiously: "Concubine Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Great Prince has returned, do you have any plans?" Taking advantage of the fact that the fourth girl of Duanmu has been in the palace for the past two days, it is good to deliver the news to the old lady. ”

Duanmu Guifei was silent, staring at the swaying bamboo branches outside the window with a complicated expression.

The current court is too chaotic and too inscrutable, and Duanmu Guifei also knows that the queen's intention to let the eldest prince come back at this time is to stir up the chaos of the court.

The wind stopped, and so did the bamboo branches.

Duanmu Guifei clutched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes dark.

It's best to do nothing now.

And......

Duanmu Guifei felt a little emotional in her heart, and her heart was indescribably complicated and heavy.

In the past, she also thought that it would be best for the eldest prince to ascend the throne and be honored for a lifetime, but since the eldest prince went to the southern battlefield, in the past few years, Duanmu Guifei has been worried, how many times when she dreamed back at midnight, she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and then she tossed and turned until dawn.

The two and a half years of suffering have turned Duanmu Guifei's thoughts upside down.

Now she only hopes that her children will be safe.

As for the throne, it depends on his own will.

After all, life is his own, as long as he lives happily and peacefully.

The handkerchief in Duanmu Guifei's hand clenched tighter, secretly thinking about finding an opportunity to ask his son what he thought.

In any case, it is better to be quiet now, and must not fall into the trap of the queen and the Cheng'en Mansion, and her son does not know how much he has suffered in the south, and finally returned safely.

She must not let her son become a shield in the hands of others!!

Duanmu Guifei was silent for a moment, and was about to go to serve tea, when she suddenly thought of something, frowned slightly, and asked, "Mama Cheng, the eldest princess of Changqing also entered the palace today, right?" ”

Without waiting for Mama Cheng to answer, Duanmu Guifei went straight down and said, "You go and remind the fourth princess and the fourth girl...... It's better to avoid a little Changqing. ”

Mama Cheng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Guifei Niangniang, who dares to provoke the fourth girl of Duanmu in this palace?" "Concubine, this is a fan of the authorities.

Duanmu Guifei was stunned and happy, and let out a crisp and refreshing laugh.

"That's true......" Duanmu Guifei said with a smile.

Even her daughter Hanxing got a lot of convenience in the palace because she was friendly with Duanmufei, a little girl, but her daughter was heartless, she couldn't think of it at all, she just thought she was the same as other princesses.

For example, as soon as her daughter asked for paper kites, someone immediately sent so many paper kites, I am afraid that no one in this palace has such preferential treatment!

"Niangniang, that slave maid went to say to Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess......" With the idea that more things are better than less things, Mama Cheng took the order and left.

Mama Cheng quickened her pace and left the Zhongcui Palace and went in the direction of the Imperial Garden.

The imperial garden is very large, but it is not difficult to find Hanxing and Duanmufei, and there is no need to ask people, Cheng Mama saw two colorful paper kites flying leisurely in the air with long tails from a distance......

Mama Cheng walked quickly in the direction of the paper kite and entered the garden through the west gate of the imperial garden.

Passing through a green bamboo forest, she saw a noisy commotion in front of her, and seven or eight people gathered together.

Mama Cheng chuckled in her heart, and said secretly: The fourth princess and the fourth girl of Duanmu shouldn't have met the eldest princess of Changqing so unfortunately, right?

Mama Cheng hurriedly quickened her pace, and her face could not hide her nervousness.

In the past two years, the eldest princess of Changqing has lived more and more unscrupulously, and all kinds of rumors about her have not been broken, not only has she separated from her daughter Jiuhua County Lord, but even her son Fang Dian has not been very happy with her.

I remember the last time I heard Mrs. Yongchangbo who asked Duanmu Guifei to say goodbye, a few days ago, Changqing seemed to be a little unclear with her daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's Wu'an Hou Mansion, Zhao Sangongzi was the younger brother of Changqing's daughter-in-law Zhao.

Changqing and Fang Dan's mother and son had quarreled a few times about this.

This scandal has been known to most of the capital, and now, the Zhao family almost doesn't dare to go out, but Changqing doesn't care.

Although the four girls of Duanmu have their own backers in the palace, no one should dare to be too rude to her, but if the four princesses and the four girls of Duanmu collide with each other, it will not be beautiful in the end.

The eldest prince has just returned to Beijing, so don't make trouble to make people see the joke.

The more Mama Cheng thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she trotted up, panting slightly.

When she saw a familiar figure in front of the crowd, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and gasp.

Hey, the luck of the four princesses and the four girls of Duanmu is really bad!

Not the eldest princess of Changqing, but the queen.

The queen is even more troublesome than the eldest princess of Changqing! Mama Cheng's heart plummeted, and she ran faster under her feet.

The autumn wind was whining, the leaves were falling, and the breeze sent the queen's displeased rebuke:

“…… You girl, in the past, this palace looked at you and your sister quite well-behaved and sensible, but in just a few years, you were pampered and arrogant, and now you have become so arrogant! It's really close to Zhu, red and black. ”

As she spoke, the queen's gaze swept from Duanmu Fei to Han Xing meaningfully, as if to imply that Han Xing was "ink".

Han Xing still held her paper kis tightly in her hand, and said to the queen, the left ear went in and the right ear went out.

was reprimanded by the queen like this, but Duanmu Fei still smiled, looking innocent, and blessed the queen and said: "Queen Mother, you are still as graceful and generous as before." ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and sneered: "Duanmufei, your clever mouth is getting better and better at talking!" ”

The little girl of the Duanmu family is really cunning, just like her grandfather, she praises herself for her grace and generosity, and the extraneous voice is that she shouldn't be like them.

The queen looked straight at Duanmu Fei, her hand, holding the handkerchief, was tight, and green tendons appeared on the back of her hand.

Over the years, because Duanmu Fei has been friendly with her daughter Wuyang, she has always treated the two sisters well, but how do they repay themselves? !

The queen's pupils became deeper and deeper.

Duanmu Fei smiled brighter as if he hadn't heard it, and his words changed sharply: "Queen Mother, the courtiers went to King Jian's Mansion a few days ago. ”

"Sister Wuyang, Princess Jane and Xiaoxi went to live in Jianning Temple, and when Sister Wuyang comes back to see the queen mother, will you be happy Niangniang, you are as 'graceful and generous' as before, or will you be disappointed?"

Hearing Duanmu Fei mention Wuyang, the queen's face was not only softened, but even more ugly.

She only felt that what Duanmu Fei said was a hidden needle in the cotton, which meant that this girl even dared to accuse her dignified queen in person!

"Bold!"

The queen scolded with a sinking face.

This rebuke echoed around like thunder, and the palace maids in the imperial garden were all panicked.

It's just a few words, and there are many palace maids and attendants around spontaneously, originally there were only seven or eight people nearby, but now there are nearly twenty people, these people are all tense, as if facing a great enemy, with subtle expressions.

The queen's attention was focused on Duanmu Fei, and she didn't care about these palace maids at all, but Mama Cheng, who had just arrived, noticed the tense atmosphere around her, and chuckled in her heart.

Mama Cheng frowned nervously, fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead, I don't know if I should hurry up and find someone to invite the concubine Niangniang to come over to play a round, and the big thing will be small.

Han Xing looked at Duanmu Fei without blinking, his pupils shining.

There was a dead silence all around, and the air was so gloomy and solemn that it seemed to drip water.

Duanmu Fei still bent the corners of his lips with a light smile, and calmly looked at the queen, without a trace of timidity on his face.

“……”

“……”

Silence spreads, and the atmosphere becomes more and more stagnant.

The queen stared at Duanmu Fei gloomily, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped and jumped.

She couldn't wait for someone to drag down the arrogant and domineering girl in front of her to teach her a good lesson, but she couldn't help but think of her daughter.

What did she mean by those words...... Will the daughter be disappointed in herself?

No, no, everything I did was for my daughter, so that my daughter could be like the eldest princess of Anping back then, with infinite honor.

The queen's heart suddenly felt a wave of panic.

Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she suddenly snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of Wuyang today, this palace won't care about you, you ...... Shape up or ship out! ”

She threw up her sleeves and walked away, but her steps seemed to stumble a little......

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

Good morning.
