Han Xing shrugged, nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled, "Haha, it's fun again!" ”

Duanmujun just said it in passing, and he didn't bother to care about the gossip of the three princes and the Xie family, so he lowered his head and continued to embroider.

Han Xing took two sips of tea and moistened his throat, "Also, the Fifth Emperor Brother and the Sixth Emperor Brother have been going to the Third Emperor Brother every day recently, looking like a brother and a friend." ”

Han Xing shuddered as he spoke, and goosebumps broke all over his body. The thought of their hypocrisy made her hair stand on end.

"It's a mess in the palace, but fortunately, the mother concubine agreed to let the palace go out of the palace to live." Han Xing leaned on Duanmu Fei affectionately, "It's a pity that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the palace can't live for a few days." ”

Linglong and Congzhen's expressions are more complicated, counting the days, the fourth princess can live in Duanmu Mansion for at least twenty days, isn't it long enough?!

Duanmu Fei said as a matter of course: "Cousin Hanxing, you can come back to live in the next year." ”

Oh, yes. Han Xing's eyes lit up immediately. After the New Year, she coaxed her mother to let her out of the palace.

Han Xing was happy, and he also gnawed on the melon seeds, feeling that Duanmu's family even had melon seeds that were very fragrant. She was about to ask Duanmu Fei which shop bought the melon seeds, and her eyes happened to fall on the "Crane Shou Peach" pattern on the edge of the fruit pot, and her heart moved, remembering one thing.

"Cousin Xu, Cousin Scarlet, do you know that tomorrow is the birthday of Emperor Changqing's aunt?"

Duanmujun raised his head and shook his head: "We haven't received any posts in our house. ”

Han Xing was not surprised, smiled uncontrollably, and said: "Aunt Changqing is still the same, and the palace has not received it." ”

In the past, it would be a shame if anyone in Beijing didn't get Changqing's post, but now it's different, and now it's not like that.

I think that at the beginning, Changqing and the emperor's sister and brother were in harmony, Changqing's status in Beijing was transcendent, and many times, when she said a word in front of the emperor, many people tried their best to please the emperor.

But then their sister and brother fell out of harmony, and the emperor somehow began to snub Changqing, and Changqing gradually became obscure to everyone.

Changqing has not held a banquet for a long time, and the capital may not be so lively for a long time.

Naturally, these have nothing to do with Duanmufei, but just listen to the excitement, this winter, she is too lazy to go out.

But thinking about it, the next morning, just after dawn, before she woke up, she was dragged out of the door by the excited Han Xing to go to class in Huilan Garden.

Today, Zhong Yu had a cold, and the girls only took a calligraphy and painting class before they dispersed. Whenever the cousins came to Hui Lan Yuan, they would stop by to buy chestnut cakes when they got out of school, and today was no exception.

Who thought that their luck was not very good, when they arrived at Xiangshuji, all the chestnut crisps that had just been baked were sold out, Hanxing didn't want to go home empty-handed, so he asked Linglong to wait at the door of Xiangshuji, and he took Duanmu Fei to the teahouse next door to sit.

There are a lot of tea customers sitting in the lobby of the tea house, and the tea guests are drinking tea and eating snacks, chatting by the way, which is very lively.

"Brother Wang, why are you only here now?!" A young man in blue complained to a young man in gray who had just entered the door.

"I'll punish myself with three cups!" The gray-clothed young man sat down with a smile, "I passed by the Changqing Eldest Princess's Mansion just now, and I saw the Princess's Mansion sprinkled copper plates and soup porridge, saying that today was the eldest princess's birthday, so I stopped to watch the excitement for a while." ”

The other people around also heard the words of the eldest princess of Changqing, and the atmosphere suddenly became very subtle. Who in this capital doesn't know about the affairs of the eldest princess of Changqing.

A middle-aged merchant at the table next to him said mockingly: "Hmph, it's just pretending, you can't give porridge once in a few years." ”

"yes, yes." The young man in blue echoed continuously, "Does this eldest princess think that she can cover up her ridiculous things over the years by doing a little good deed?!" ”

"Hmph, a good man was originally young and promising, but he was forced to death by this eldest princess!"

"Lawlessness, water-based poplar! A woman like this should be immersed in a pig pen! ”

“……”

Most of the tea guests around were indignant and reprimanded Changqing.

"What's the use of us talking about this!" The gray-clothed young man sighed and said, "She has done these ugly things, and she is not still beautiful, I think there are many nobles who went to pay her birthday today!" Those dignitaries are all glamorous on the surface, but in fact, they are all people who tend to be inflammatory! When I passed by, I also saw the three princes! ”

"The Third Prince?!" The middle-aged merchant's face was even more sneering, "I remember that the biological mother of the third prince didn't just die?!" The prince doesn't want to keep filial piety? ”

Many people present had also heard that Concubine Jiang Ning was killed by a vicious slave, and they looked at each other. At that time, people valued filial piety the most, and filial piety came first, and it was ridiculous for the three princes to be like this!

"Don't you know this brother? I heard that the third prince recognized the queen mother as his mother. The young man in blue turned his head to the middle-aged merchant and said, his eyes showing contempt, "Now, the queen mother is his 'mother'!" ”

He deliberately increased the volume on the word "mother".

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei, who were sitting by the window, listened to the conversation between these people from beginning to end, and Han Xing squeezed his eyebrows at Duanmu Fei. There is really no impermeable wall in this world, and she should really let her third emperor brother come here to listen!

Duanmufei nodded, eating the plum blossom cake that was still hot.

"It's a big rebellion, it's reckless!" An old man at the next table rebuked righteously, "In order to change his mother, he can't even tolerate his own mother, and the beasts have a conscience better than him." ”

This sentence spread throughout the lobby, and there was an instant silence in the lobby.

In order to register his name to the queen, the rumors that the third prince did not hesitate to kill his mother have long been spreading, and many people present have heard of it, and they all have a contemptuous look on their faces.

The gray-clothed young man pouted his lips and said strangely: "That's the throne!" In the future, when His Royal Highness the Third Prince ascends the throne, who would dare to say that he killed his mother in front of him, he doesn't want anything! ”

After this sentence fell, the atmosphere became more subtle.

"Superior?! With him?! Suddenly, a thin middle-aged scholar slapped the table heavily and said, "Hmph, Emperor Chongming has a son, and that is royal orthodoxy!" ”

"This brother is right." The gray-clothed young man sighed with feeling, "Originally, I thought that Emperor Chongming had been immortal for so many years, and it didn't matter whether Emperor Chongming's son ascended the throne or 'this one' son ascended the throne, anyway, it wasn't up to us." But now......" the gray-clothed young man frowned in disgust, "the sons of 'this one' are simply not talking! ”

The "one" in his mouth is, of course, imagami.

"Oops! Fish begins to rot from the head! The young man in blue said sharply, "'This one' didn't kill his own mother!" ”

"Yes, it's no wonder that my son is so learned!"

“……”

The more the tea guests talked, the more lively it became, and the lobby was full of people.

When Han Xing heard what those people said that the upper beam was not right and the lower beam was crooked, he suddenly restrained his smile, and his mouth was so upturned that he could hang the oil bottle. Although she is not the emperor's son, she is also the emperor's daughter, didn't she also talk about her!

Zhihan Xingru Duanmu immediately leaned into her ear and explained in a low voice: "You are the granddaughter of the Duanmu family. ”

"That's it!" Han Xing raised his chin and was refreshed.

Han Xing's temperament has always been straight, his emotions come and go quickly, and he was coaxed by Duanmu Fei, so he didn't drill the horns anymore.

Duanmu smiled and twisted another piece of plum blossom cake to eat, his eyes were shining.

For the sake of the throne, the more the princes jumped, the more the ugliness would be exposed in front of others, so Cen Yin would make a fuss by themselves.

In the future, the people of the world will be more likely to accept the new king.

It's delicious! Duanmu Feisan ate another piece of plum blossom cake in two bites, his appetite was great, he beckoned to Xiao Er, and ordered another plate of plum blossom cake.

Han Xing wanted to order a few more plates of melon seeds and pine nuts, but before the words could be spoken, the corner of his eye happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar vermilion wheel car on the street outside.

"Huh?!"

She snorted, isn't this the carriage of King Qing's Mansion?!

As if to verify Han Xing's thoughts, the curtain on the side of the vermilion wheel was lifted from the inside, revealing a familiar face.

"Scarlet cousin, it's Dangui." Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei's sleeve.

Han Xing waved his other hand out of the window and shouted, "Dangui! ”

Dangui in the vermilion wheel heard the sound, heard the voice, and looked at Han Xing, then smiled and beckoned to Han Xing.

Dangui instructed the groom to park the Zhulun at the gate of Jiusiban, got out of the car, and came in with a smile.

"Hanxing, Scarlet, you are really free." Dangui looked at the two of them enviously and sat down directly beside Han Xing.

Han Xing felt that Dangui was really in the blessing and didn't know the blessing, so he pouted and said: "You are embarrassed to say, you go out every day when you want to, how can you be like me, I am stuffed in the palace every day...... Home. If my mother hadn't asked me to stay with my grandfather, I would still be studying in my study! ”

"Going out doesn't have to be where I want to go." Dangui wrinkled his little face, looking unhappy.

Han Xing blinked, looked at the street outside the window, and thought about the direction where the Zhu wheeled car was coming, when he suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Dangui, won't you go to Chang...... Ahem, my aunt's place, right? ”

Dangui nodded, looking strange. She went to the Changqing Princess's Mansion.

Han Xing and Duanmu Fei glanced at each other, and Duanmu Fei asked casually: "Dangui, did you come out of there early?" ”

It's only halfway through, and Changqing's birthday banquet shouldn't be over so soon, right?

"Not really!" Dangui's little face became even more entangled, and after holding back his stomach, he finally found a chance to say, "You don't know how ridiculous and ridiculous what happened just now!" ”

When Han Xing heard this, he was energetic, and hurriedly asked Xiao Er to serve tea to Dangui, and urged eagerly: "What's the matter?" Speak up, talk fast! ”

Dangui straightened out his thoughts and said——

Today, in addition to Dangui, Changqing also invited many girls to the princess's mansion for a banquet, originally they girls were playing in the small garden of the inner courtyard, but halfway through the game, Changqing sent someone to call the theater, saying that they invited the listening class to sing.

The girls went with great interest, but they didn't expect to meet the third prince walking alone by the small lake at a pavilion halfway, with red faces and red ears, and seemed to be drunk.

At that time, Xie Xiangling was admiring the flowers in a warm pavilion next to him, and when he saw the three princes, he went to say goodbye to the three princes, but he didn't expect the drunken three princes to suddenly stumble and almost fall into the lake, Xie Xiangling grabbed him. Between the two of them, although the third prince did not fall into the water, he still fell down with Xie Xiangling, the two fell on the grass on top of each other, and the mouth of the third prince happened to kiss Xie Xiangling's lips......

Xie Xiangling's personal maid came back with tea at this time, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the maid also screamed, and the sound attracted many people from the princess's mansion, and there was chaos around.

Duanmu Fei and Hanxing were dumbfounded when they heard this. That's fine!

Dangui pursed his lips disdainfully, and said angrily: "These people, they really treat everyone else as fools!" ”

Han Xing immediately saw some clues from Dangui's expression and tone, his eyes rolled slightly, exchanged a look with Duanmu Fei, and asked shyly: "Dangui, could it be that they did it on purpose?" ”

"Not really." Dangui snorted angrily, and twisted the handkerchief in his hand with his slender fingers, "Let's not talk about how Xie Xiangling's personal maid happened to walk away so well, how could the third prince walk around alone in the princess's mansion after being drunk?!" Where did the three princes' attendants go? Where's the maid in the princess's mansion?! ”

Dangui snorted with disdain, "That's it, they still think they are doing smart, but in fact, who can't understand it!" ”

Dangui's sentence "they" includes not only the three princes and Xie Xiangling, but also the Xie family and the Jiang family.

Han Xing nodded frequently, that is, those noble girls in the capital are neither blind nor stupid, but they didn't understand it on the spot, and after thinking about it a little later, can they still not understand?!

"Hmph, they want to repent, they just regret it, and they still have to ask us to testify, it's disgusting." The more Dangui spoke, the more angry he became, and his fair little face was dyed with a faint flush of anger, "They are not shy, I am still afraid of long needle eyes!" ”

Thinking back to the scene at that time, Dangui almost wanted to wash his eyes.

She really didn't want to stay in the princess's mansion anymore, so she said to Princess Qing and left first.

Han Xing saw that Dangui was very angry, and brought her a plate of plum blossom cake to her, and asked her to eat some snacks to dissipate her anger, "Don't be angry with yourself for other people's affairs, come on, try this plum blossom cake." ”

Dangui bit the pastry almost like a vent, bite after bite, and squinted in satisfaction. Well, this plum cake is delicious!

Dangui ate two pieces of plum blossom cake in a row, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, flattened his mouth, and said: "I'm too lazy to care about their affairs, and I don't have time to be angry for them!" ”

"I just think it's disgusting! This repentance and resignation in the capital is nothing new! It's shameless to do this thing of repentance and want to take advantage of the righteousness! ”

"It's no wonder that this kind of person who even kills his own mother can't do anything! What a......"

Dangui wanted to say that the third prince was a bitch and wanted to set up a memorial arch, but halfway through the words, he felt that this was really not very good, and he was silent, and subconsciously looked left and right, and said in his heart: Fortunately, the mother concubine is not there, if she hears it, she may be punished for copying family precepts and Buddhist scriptures.

"Poor Fourth Emperor Brother!" Han Xing sighed embarrassedly, and felt a little sorry for the four princes.

No matter what Xie Xiangling's character is, and no matter what Mu Youyi thinks of Xie Xiangling in his heart, Xie Xiangling is the fiancée he has already decided, and the Jiang and Xie families regret their marriage when they say they regret their marriage, and they remarry Xie Xiangling to someone else at will, which is simply stepping on the face of Mu Youyi, the fourth prince, on the ground.

Obviously, the person who made the mistake was not Mu Youyi, but he had to be looked at by others with strange eyes, and he was poked and poked in his back.

Dangui's expression suddenly became very strange, and he said softly: "Hanxing, your fourth brother was also there at that time. At that time, the movement was a bit loud, attracting a lot of people, and your fourth brother also saw it. ”

"......" Hanxing could almost imagine how ugly Mu Youyi's face was at that time.

"Long pain is better than short pain, rather than tying up such a family business, it is better to end it like this." Duanmu sighed.

That being said, the fourth prince must also know that he has become the abandoned son of the empress and the Chengen Mansion.

Dangui also thinks so. Although with the embarrassing identity of the fourth prince, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a better family in the future, but the Chengen Mansion is too unpresentable.

"But ......" Duanmu Fei touched his chin and muttered suspiciously, "Isn't there any other girl in the Xie family?" "If you want to marry the prince, just change someone, why do you have to thank Xiangling!

"yes." Han Xing also nodded with concern.

For the Enguo Mansion, Han Xing knew a little more than Duanmu Fei, and said, "Ben...... I remember that Xie Xiangling should have a sister who is not married! Miss Xie Wu seems to be the girl in the second room of the Xie family. Han Xing touched his chin uncertainly and recalled.

Xie Wu girl?! Duanmu Fei searched in his mind, and he didn't have any impression of this Xie Wu girl, "I don't seem to have seen her come out and walk around......"

Dangui cleared his throat, attracting the attention of Han Xing and Duanmu Fei, with a look of "I know, ask me quickly".

Hanxing and Duanmu Fei were very cooperative, one pulled Dangui's left sleeve, and the other pulled her right sleeve, both of them looked at her with burning eyes, which made Dangui feel very useful.

Dangui smiled slightly, deliberately sold the next pass, and then said: "Miss Xie Wu is indeed the girl in the second room of the Xie family, but she is the original partner in front of her." Second Mrs. Xie has long seen her as an eyesore, this is an opportunity to become a 'queen', how can Second Mrs. Xie 'let her'! ”

"That Fifth Miss Xie stays in the house all day and rarely comes out and walks around, and I have actually only seen that once, on the sixtieth birthday of her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Zhang. At that time, I didn't speak, I just watched from a distance, and I looked quite thoughtful and spoke in a sven manner. ”

"As soon as the matter of the princess's mansion comes out today, it is estimated that Miss Xie Wu's family affairs will be decided soon."

Han Xing thought about it for a while, and then understood the meaning of Dangui.

The third prince is older than the fourth prince, he is already sixteen years old this year, in order to bind the Jiang and Xie families together as soon as possible and ensure that everyone's interests are the same, they are afraid that the third prince and Xie Xiangling will marry as soon as possible.

However, Xie Xiangling has a sister who is the eldest daughter of the second room, and the eldest daughter is not married, so it stands to reason that the rest of the sisters cannot be crossed, especially the Xie family feels that Xie Xiangling is the one who wants to become the queen, and she can't let her relatives break the rules.

Therefore, in order to avoid some gossip, the Xie family should be in a hurry to marry off Miss Xie.

At this moment, Linglong came back from the crispy next door with two boxes of hot dim sum, even if the dim sum was tightly wrapped in oiled paper, it couldn't stop the sweet smell.

Dangui's nose moved, and his eyes were as bright as stars, "Chestnut crisp!" ”

Hanxing generously asked Linglong to distribute a box of chestnut crisp to Dangui. The three little girls said goodbye, Dangui left with chestnuts in her arms, and Hanxing and Duanmu Fei also left the teahouse and returned to Duanmu Mansion.

They originally wanted to hurry back to Zhanqing Courtyard to eat this hot chestnut cake with Duanmujun, but who wanted to get out of the carriage, and saw the green pothos come forward and said: "Fourth girl, the He family has just come, and I have to go to see Mrs. Tai." The eldest girl has already passed the Eternal Hill. ”

Duanmu moved his eyebrows, all thinking.

The He family originally relied on the support of the Empress Dowager He to run rampant in the capital, and the arrogance was better than the current Xie family, but since the emperor and the Empress Dowager He fell out, the emperor has not connived at the He family anymore, and the He family has gradually become peaceful over the years.

Duanmu Fei groaned for a while, and said to Han Xing: "Cousin Han Xing, you go to Zhanqing Courtyard first, I'll go over there to have a look." ”

Han Xing responded, and after the two bypassed Zhenqu Hall, they parted ways, one went to Zhanqing Courtyard, and the other went to Yongxi Hall.

Since the He's "holding the disease", the Yongxi Hall has been deserted a lot for more than two years, and no one comes over on weekdays, but today's Yongxi Hall is very lively.

Not only the He family and Duanmu Jun are there, but Ji Lanzhou is also there, and the two families are facing each other.

"Get out of the way, I must see your grandmother today!"

An old woman in a rust-colored dark Eight Immortals carved silk gown said proudly, and next to her stood a middle-aged woman in her forties with a slightly plump body.

The middle-aged woman immediately chimed in, "That's right, why didn't you stop us from letting us in?!" ”

Just looking at the backs of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Duanmu Fei knew that these two were Mrs. He, the eldest sister-in-law of the He family, and Mrs. He, her eldest daughter-in-law. Even if the He family loses the title of Duke of Xinguo, the arrogance of the He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still the same as before.

In the face of this aggressive mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Ji Lanzhou was still gentle and gentle, and the corners of his lips always had a shallow smile, which was deferential and decent, "Uncle and grandmother, eldest aunt, grandmother is resting, and it is inconvenient to meet guests." ”

Mrs. He's voice was even sharper, and she asked domineeringly, "You two still know that we are elders!" This is the attitude of your Duanmu family towards their elders! ”

Mrs. He took a half step forward and said, "Niece-in-law, your grandmother has rested so early, it won't be that she is unwell, right?" Then I'm going to go see her. ”

Duanmujun's expression was faint, and he was too lazy to reason with them, so he directly issued an eviction order: "Uncle and grandmother, eldest aunt, please go back." ”

Mrs. He looked at Ji Lanzhou, who was gentle and smiling, and then looked at Duanmujun, who was light and breezy, and the fire in her heart was rising, becoming more and more annoyed: Duanmujun is just that, Ji Lanzhou is a new daughter-in-law, and she treats her uncle and grandmother like this, so unfilial. She had to find Duanmu Heng to talk to him and let him teach his daughter-in-law well!

Duanmufei quickly walked to the eaves of the hall, and saw a familiar figure on the right side of the room, which was Tang's.

"My mother has been very sick for the past few days and has been bedridden." Tang Shi pinched the handkerchief, glanced at Duanmu Jun and Ji Lanzhou, and said in a meaningful tone, "This patient is recuperating, one must be calm, and the other must be taken care of by the family, hey, this family is messy, there is no rule, no wonder my mother is getting sicker and sicker......

The meaning of Tang's words is that several granddaughters and granddaughters-in-law in the family are unfilial and do not go to serve He's illness, and they also make He's upset and unhappy.

Duanmu Fei crossed the threshold with her skirt and said with a smile: "Huh? Third aunt, how did I not know that my grandmother was sick? ”

Mrs. He subconsciously turned to look at Duanmufei, her face changed slightly, and a smile barely squeezed out of her originally tough face.

"Sister Scarlet is here!" Mrs. He smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, the corners of her eyes showed deep wrinkles, and her expression was a little flattering and courteous, "Sister Scarlet, you go to my house more often when you have time, your cousins are about the same age, next time you can go to Keju and play polo together." They are all their own relatives, don't be estranged, or play together often! ”

Duanmu walked to Duanmujun's side with a smile in his eyebrows, not saying yes or no.

There is no respect for the elders, and there is no etiquette! Mrs. He's eyes were gloomy, and she almost didn't blurt out a reprimand, but she was stopped by Mrs. He with a look.

That thing hasn't been done yet, but you can't lose it because of a small thing!

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

Good morning!

October is almost over again, and time flies.
