172 Fight for Husband
"Quack!"
Before Duanmu Fei could make a sound, the little starling who heard the sound had already flapped his wings and flew over, stopped on the window sill, and looked curiously at the stranger in the room.
"Hachi!" Han Xingxi smiled, her eyes fell on the little starling brother all of a sudden, and her heart was entangled between "watching the excitement" and "little starling" for a moment, and in the end, the former prevailed, or waited for her to finish watching the excitement first, and then came to play with Xiaoba later.
"Scarlet cousin, let's go quickly, the show will end when it's late." Han Xing watched the pothos hesitantly pick and choose in the dresser, so he simply stepped forward and picked out a pair of gold wire entwined hair rings inlaid with rubies, and personally helped Duanmu Fei put them on, and confidently said to Duanmu Fei in the bronze mirror, "How about it?" Looks good, right?! ”
Her arrogant little face seemed to say that the vision of this palace is not comparable to ordinary people!
The corners of Duanmu's mouth were slightly upturned, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and he was busy stroking his palms and praised: "It's beautiful!" Cousin Hanxing's vision is so good! ”
Han Xing raised her chin and was triumphant, and then remembered the business of this trip, she couldn't wait to take Duanmufei's little hand, and said excitedly: "Let's go." The carriage of the main palace is still waiting at the Yimen. ”
As she spoke, she threw another sentence to the two maids, "There is food in the carriage, and you girls are not hungry for ......."
Han Xingfeng came in a hurry, and then pulled Duanmu Scarlet Wind away, leaving the brocade curtain swaying back and forth in mid-air.
Bi Cicada and Pothos couldn't help but look at each other, and after Bi Cicada was stunned, she hurriedly chased after her skirt.
Han Xing seemed to be in a hurry, walking like the wind, holding Duanmu Fei's little hand in three steps and walking in the direction of Yimen, and Bi Cicada trotted behind.
As the little girls walked, Ruyu's cheeks shone with a faint glow, and they were full of energy, more delicate and lovely than the spring flowers blooming around them.
After the two cousins got into the carriage, the palace maid Yingluo immediately took out a red lacquer carved food box from the side and placed it on a small rosewood square table.
The tantalizing sweet smell wafts through the small compartment as the lid opens.
Duanmu Fei casually twisted a piece of tender yellow osmanthus millet cake and sent it to his mouth, let the faint rice fragrance and sweet osmanthus flavor fill his mouth, bent his lips intoxicatedly, and sighed with satisfaction: The imperial chef in this palace is really skilled, and this simple osmanthus millet cake is also done just right......
Amid the loud shouts of the coachmen, their carriage slowly drove towards the gate......
After Han Xing took a sip of warm tea, he breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Cousin Scarlet, do you know that Jiuhua eloped with someone?" ”
Duanmu Fei didn't expect Han Xing to mention this, she forgot to chew for a while, her little face was bulging with millet cake, and her eyes were round, like a chubby goldfish.
Seeing Duanmu Fei's cheering appearance, Han Xing felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, smiled more proudly, and after sorting out his thoughts, he continued with a strange expression: "Today, the sky is bright, the palace door has just opened, Jiuhua entered the palace crying, went directly to Cining Palace, and complained to the imperial grandmother, saying that her husband was put under house arrest by the imperial aunt......"
Han Xing's eyes shone brightly, telling the story of the matter.
At that time, the Empress Dowager He was dumbfounded when she heard Jiuhua crying like this, and when she asked again, she knew that Jiuhua was so bold that she eloped with that person, and also worshiped the church privately and became husband and wife.
This kind of scandal is simply unheard of in the royal family, and the Empress Dowager He was so angry that she almost fainted. But things have come to this, no matter what Jiuhua says, she is also her own granddaughter, and the Empress Dowager He can't ignore it, so she wants to press it down first, anyway, the raw rice has already been cooked.
Empress Dowager He asked her henchmen Mama Dong and Jiuhua to go out of the palace first and go back to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changqing, however, Jiuhua lost his temper this time and went back to the princess's mansion, and did not enter the mansion, so he knelt straight outside the mansion.
"Count the time, I've been kneeling for almost an hour......" Han Xing's eyes narrowed with laughter.
Others don't know anything about Jiuhua's husband, but Han Xing has heard some about it from Duanmu Fei's mouth, and he has also seen Luo Qifang and Changqing together at the Spring Festival banquet, and he felt that there must be a lively scene today, so he hurriedly came to Duanmu Fei.
No matter how wonderful the drama is, it will always lose a lot of color when you watch it alone, and it will be interesting to watch it with someone!
Han Xing hooked her lips happily, seeing that Duanmu Fei ate deliciously, she was also aroused by her appetite, and twisted a piece of soft and sweet osmanthus millet cake and ate it, and then paired it with honey osmanthus tea, so that she accidentally ate another piece.
Han Xing stroked his round belly, and looked at Duanmu Fei still eating a hemp ball with relish, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in his heart: Cousin Scarlet is such a small person, how can she be so good at eating, and I don't know why she doesn't grow tall after eating so many things.
Duanmu Fei saw Han Xing looking at himself in a daze, and thought that there was something wrong with him, so he also looked down at his dress......
At that moment the speeding carriage turned another turn, and the speed of the carriage slowed down, and the coachman said outside, "Miss Yingluo, here we are." ”
Han Xing hurriedly lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and looked diagonally opposite.
Outside a vermilion lacquer gate seven or eight zhang away, a slender and thin figure was kneeling outside the high threshold, Jiuhua wore a silver-red embroidered begonia jacket, and the black and dense green silk was pulled into the woman's hairstyle, revealing her smooth forehead.
Although she knelt there a little shorter than the few people around her, the arrogance and stubbornness between her eyebrows could not be hidden.
Several grandmothers, maids, and mothers-in-law around her surrounded her, persuading her endlessly, but Jiuhua turned a deaf ear and looked straight at the vermilion lacquer gate in front of her.
Jiuhua, who couldn't stand on his knees, had already attracted the attention of many people who did good things, and some passers-by didn't dare to approach the princess's mansion, pointing at Jiuhua from afar, whispering in their ears.
"Squeak—"
Suddenly, the vermilion lacquer door was slowly opened from the inside, and there was a rough sound of opening the door.
A tall and plump gorgeous woman in her thirties walked out of the door, wrapped in a fiery red embroidered cloak, with her black hair loosely tied up, only a red gold butterfly hairpin on her sideburns, sleepy eyes in those charming eyes, eyes half-squinted, as if she had just just gotten up.
When the woman's eyes fell on Jiuhua, anger suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, rushing straight to her head, burning her almost insane.
"Are you ......" Changqing raised his hand and pointed at Jiuhua, who was kneeling on the ground a few steps away, and reprimanded angrily, "Do you still know that you are back?!" ”
Han Xing in the carriage saw that the play had finally started, hooked her lips and smiled, she turned her head and beckoned to Duanmu Fei, who was concentrating on eating dates, motioned for her to sit beside her, and pointed to Changqing's mother and daughter.
Duanmu scarlet leaned over to Han Xing's side with sweet dates in his mouth, and followed her gaze.
Changqing's delicate face was surging with anger and momentum, and Mama Dong, who was sent by Empress Dowager He, persuaded her in a loud voice: "Your Highness, the county lord has been kneeling for almost an hour, let's go in and talk......
As soon as Mama Dong said this, Changqing also calmed down a little, and looked around sharply, and some passers-by had gathered on both sides of the street, looking at this side with their heads probed.
Changqing suddenly came to his senses. Yes, it is so eye-catching to let my daughter kneel like this again!
Changqing took a deep breath and said to Jiuhua in a deep voice: "Don't hurry up yet!" ”
However, Jiuhua was still kneeling in place motionless, with his little face up, his dark eyes bright and stubborn, and he said calmly: "Mother, I don't get up, I have already entered the palace and told my grandmother just now that I and Brother Luo have already married." ”
"Jiuhua, you...... Do you know what you've done?! Changqing gasped, his eyes widened instantly, and the anger that he had barely managed to suppress burned again.
I have done so much for this unfilial girl, and paved a splendid road of glory for her, but she is so disobedient to herself for a poor person? ! Jiuhua, what kind of demon is this!
"You, you're messing around!" Changqing's voice trembled slightly with anger, and his eyebrows tightened, "Do you know that if you told the Queen Mother, there will be no room for this matter to turn around!" ”
Otherwise, even if Jiuhua and the poor man have been married, God knows, others don't know, maybe they can hide it, now that even the Empress Dowager He knows, then Jiuhua can't marry the second prince!
Jiuhua obviously knew Changqing's extraneous voice, and said proudly: "Mother, if a daughter doesn't marry a second husband, it is absolutely impossible for me to marry the second prince again!" ”
"In that case, what are you going to do when you come back!" Changqing only felt that a breath was strained in his chest, and the green tendons in the corners of his forehead flared up, and he really wanted to slap his daughter with an ear scraper.
Hearing this, Jiuhua's emotions were even more excited, and grievances, unwillingness, anger, and humiliation were intertwined, making her little face flush.
She didn't want to come back and beg her mother, but—
"My husband is under house arrest by your mother, as long as my mother releases the person, I will leave immediately!"
Jiuhua opened his eyes and looked directly at Changqing, and a thin layer of mist appeared in his eye sockets, and he did not flinch. If it weren't for being helpless, Jiuhua wouldn't want to bow to Changqing so humbly.
When Changqing heard his daughter say "my husband" repeatedly, he was even more angry, and said coldly without thinking: "Nonsense! When did Hongu put your husband under house arrest?! ”
Changqing felt that her daughter had been tricked by that poor person at all, and she lost her mind.
Changqing's denial made Jiuhua's emotions completely out of control, and she screamed almost hysterically: "I don't believe it! ”
Jiuhua's eyes were like the rough sea, and his thoughts were surging.
On the twenty-ninth day of the first month, after she left the princess's mansion, she and Luo Qifang rented a small courtyard near Huangjue Temple to live temporarily. Jiuhua looked around for Luo Qifang's whereabouts, and after inquiring, he learned that the morning before yesterday, a nobleman with many guards had been searching for a while near Huangjue Temple.
According to the description of the noble person in other people's mouths, Jiuhua suspected that it was his mother Changqing, and then thought that Luo Qifang had said that he was going to read books in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Huangjue Temple, Jiuhua was almost sure that Luo Qifang's disappearance was related to his mother.
She couldn't go back to the princess's mansion to check on herself, so she had to quietly summon Feng Congyan to ask her to come to the princess's mansion to check. Feng Congyan came with the news last night, saying that she hadn't seen Luo Qifang in the princess's mansion, but Changqing did take someone to Huangjue Temple the day before yesterday.
Sure enough, nine times out of ten, her brother Luo was kidnapped by her mother and placed under house arrest, and her mother probably wanted to make her soft.
But Jiuhua didn't want her mother to get her wish!
After she hesitated for a night, she went into the palace early in the morning to find the Empress Dowager He to have a showdown, and deliberately knelt outside the mansion, just to make a fuss about the matter, so that her mother could no longer object to her marriage with Luo Qifang.
Looking at Jiuhua's obsessive appearance, Changqing felt even more irritable, if it weren't for her own daughter, she would have let people beat this ungrateful girl to death with a stick!
"Your Royal Highness......" Mama Dong saw that neither mother and daughter would back down, and there were more and more people watching the good deeds, she was anxious, and wanted to persuade Changqing.
Before the words fell, I saw Jiuhua, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Brother Luo! ”
A young man wearing a thin lake-blue straight jacket walked out of the house, standing tall and jade, strolling leisurely, Xi Xi breeze blowing, the young man's robe fluttered like a butterfly, handsome and elegant.
When you get closer, you can see that the young man has a haggard face and a deep shadow in his eye sockets.
"Shiheng!" Changqing blurted out in surprise, but he didn't expect him to come out too.
"Brother Luo!" Jiuhua looked at Luo Qifang's haggard appearance and felt distressed, endured the soreness and numbness in his knees, stood up, and flew towards Luo Qifang like a milk swallow returning to the nest.
However, Luo Qifang was on the side of his body, avoiding Jiuhua, his eyelids were half-drooping, and his thin figure looked a little stiff.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still, and the surroundings fell silent.
Han Xing in the carriage looked at it with relish, she still remembered this Luo Qifang, but she didn't expect him to be here...... It's good now, the protagonist is here!
Han Xing pulled Duanmufei's sleeve with interest, but saw that she was concentrating on peeling melon seeds, and raised her head with a puzzled expression.
Duanmu Fei thought that Hanxing also wanted melon seeds, so he grabbed a handful and put it in her hand.
Han Xing was stunned, and looked out while sipping melon seeds.
"Brother Luo......" Jiuhua looked at Luo Qifang and frowned suspiciously, his little face was full of puzzlement.
Luo Qifang glanced at Jiuhua sadly, and stopped talking, on his handsome face, his dark and deep eyes seemed to be able to speak, and there was grievance, despair, shame, and helplessness in his eyes...... Countless emotions are shouting and tumbling in it.
"Jiuhua," Luo Qifang said quietly, his voice was difficult and hoarse, "I have nothing to do with you, in the future, you should forget me......"
"Shiheng, Jiuhua, ...... you" Changqing looked at Luo Qifang and Jiuhua back and forth, even if she didn't know the situation anymore, she vaguely felt that something was wrong at the moment, looking at it like this, her daughter and Luo Qifang actually knew each other?
Could it be that Brother Luo in her daughter's mouth is referring to Shi Heng?!
Thinking about it, Changqing couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and his delicate face faded with blood.
"Brother Luo......" Jiuhua eagerly took another step closer to Luo Qifang.
Her first reaction was that she thought that Luo Qifang was coerced by her mother, and wanted to comfort him, wanting to tell him that she would never humiliate her mother's obscenity, but when the words came to her mouth, she realized that something was wrong.
Just now, my mother seemed to call "Shi Heng" to Luo Qifang, Shi Heng is Luo Qifang's character.
How could my mother call Luo Qifang's words so affectionately?!
Jiuhua's eyes widened, and there was a vague possibility in his heart, but he hoped that it was not true. She looked at Luo Qifang eagerly, hoping that he would deny it.
However, Luo Qifang avoided Jiuhua's gaze, turned his face sideways, lowered his eyes slightly, and trembled slightly.
As he turned his head, Jiuhua's gaze suddenly fell on a peach-blossom red mark on his neck, which was ......
Jiuhua is no longer a yellow flower girl who is incomprehensible, what does the ambiguous red mark represent, she knows it, and her mother's intimate "Shiheng" repeatedly rings in her ears, and Luo Qifang's guilt and emotion that seems to contain a thousand words appear in her mind......
Could it be ......
Jiuhua's pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly remembered that a man named Ding Wenchang was brought into the princess's mansion by his mother a year ago, and later that Ding Wenchang was so humiliated that he committed suicide by hanging a beam, and he also set off a big storm in Beijing.
Compared with Ding Wenchang, Brother Luo is far better than him in terms of appearance, talent, and bearing, could it be that his mother also took a fancy to him, so she has always refused to allow her marriage with Brother Luo, and now she is forcing him......
Thinking of this possibility, Jiuhua's pupils shrank sharply, her body trembled like grass in the wind and rain, her heart seemed to be pierced through many holes, the cold wind blew through her heart, despair and sadness swept in, completely engulfing her.
Her mother ...... actually attacked her brother Luo......
Jiuhua clenched the jacket on his side fiercely, and looked at Changqing gloomily.
In an instant, a dam in her heart was shattered by the anger in her body, and her emotions almost collapsed.
"Mother, you are too shameless, even your daughter's husband has to covet it!"
Jiuhua raised her hand and pointed at Changqing's nose and scolded angrily, her voice was almost heartbreaking, clearly reaching the ears of those passers-by around her, and also into Hanxing's carriage.
What the?! Han Xing's eyes widened in disbelief, and the melon seeds that were about to be sent to his mouth stopped in mid-air and were stunned.
She couldn't believe her ears and blinked slowly, her jaw almost dropping. What did Jiuhua just say?!
There was an uproar all around, and from time to time you could hear words such as "mother and daughter fighting for husband", "unheard of", "princess romance" floating out of the crowd, and more and more people came around this side, three layers inside and three layers outside, bustling.
Those passers-by were all pointing at Changqing, Jiuhua and Luo Qifang, with contempt in their eyes.
Mama Dong's face turned white, she never thought that things would develop to this point.
"County lord, let's go in......" Mama Dong grabbed Jiuhua and wanted to persuade her to enter the mansion to speak.
"Smack!"
The furious Jiuhua directly shook off Mama Dong's hand, she was already controlled by anger, she couldn't think, and she didn't want to think, she just wanted to vent the dissatisfaction that had been pent up in her heart for many years.
Why is her mother such a lascivious woman!
Jiuhua's eyes were red, and he took another step closer to Changqing, and said angrily: "Since my father left, there have been many men around you over the years, have I said anything?!" But you even want to attack your own son-in-law, you ......"
Speaking of this, Jiuhua choked up.
As long as she thought of the humiliation suffered by her brother Luo, her heart was like a knife.
Jiuhua's chest rose and fell violently, the blue tendons on his forehead jumped wildly, and the whole person was described as crazy, like a madwoman.
Changqing's face was blue and white when she was told by her daughter, and the eyes around her pierced her like thousands of needles.
She was angry, she was ashamed, she was suspicious, she was shocked......
Changqing didn't care about Jiuhua now, his eyes looked at Luo Qifang sharply, his red lips moved slightly, and he wanted to question him what his intentions were, but he couldn't call his name.
This Luo Qifang turned out to be the husband of his daughter Jiuhua, Changqing thought about it, and his heart was mixed, his eyes were bright and dark, and there seemed to be a storm brewing.
Luo Qifang looked at Changqing and Jiuhua mother and daughter deeply, opened his thin lips lightly, and sighed faintly, "It's all my fault......"
His voice was slightly hoarse, and there was a thick sadness all over his body, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, like helplessness, like self-ashamed, like shame, like sadness......
The strong and complex emotions in his eyes surged like waves, almost drowning Changqing, Changqing's body trembled slightly, and he understood in an instant.
Yes.
Her daughter has always been willful, it must be her wishful thinking that she has to marry Shi Heng, so Shi Heng ran away, how could Shi Heng know that Jiuhua was his daughter......
"Shiheng......" Changqing muttered.
"Brother Luo, it's not your fault." Jiuhua clutched her chest, her heart hurt even more, all this was not her brother Luo's will!
Jiuhua took another step forward, "Brother Luo, I don't blame you!" "If you want to blame it, you have to blame her mother!
Luo Qifang took another step back as if frightened, closed his eyes, and shook his head helplessly, the sadness in his eyes was about to overflow.
Suddenly, he resolutely turned around, and without saying a word, he slammed into the vermilion lacquer gate......
Jiuhua Hua's face was pale, and she cried out in horror: "Brother Luo! ”
Changqing's pupils shrank sharply, his complexion changed greatly, and he shouted: "Quick! Not ...... yet"
In fact, there was no need for Changqing to order, the people around him had already rushed forward in a hurry, wanting to stop Luo Qifang......
"Boom!"
I only heard the muffled sound like a heavy hammer echoing around, and it was like a hammer hitting Changqing and Jiuhua's hearts heavily, making the mother and daughter stunned and unable to move.
"Brother Luo!" Jiuhua's heart-rending voice was so sharp that it seemed to go straight to the sky, shaking the air around him.
Jiuhua flew to Luo Qifang's body, only to see the dazzling blood gushing out from the wound on his head, which was shockingly red......
The crowd around them was in an uproar again, like a drop of cold water falling into a hot oil pan, and exploded the pot.
Mama Dong was so shocked that she almost didn't lose her breath.
Seeing that Changqing was stunned and Jiuhua knew how to cry, Mama Dong hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, carry people in, close the door quickly!" ”
Under the orders of Mama Dong, the people around them all took action, and the two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists lifted Luo Qifang who fell to the ground one after another, and Changqing came back to his senses and shouted: "Don't hurry up and call the house doctor!" ”
Jiuhua followed closely beside Luo Qifang, and the six gods echoed without a master, saying for a while to ask for a house doctor, and then to ask for a doctor.
After a burst of chickens and dogs, everyone entered the mansion one after another, and the gate of the princess's mansion became empty, followed by the vermilion lacquer gate gradually closing in the rough sound, and also isolated the scrutinizing eyes from all around.
"Bang!"
The gate of the princess's mansion was completely closed, but the onlookers still did not leave, talking and talking, like a tidal wave.
Quietly in the carriage, Han Xing looked at the gate of the princess's mansion in a daze, and muttered, "...... I didn't expect it to be like this. As she spoke, she looked at Duanmu Fei beside her, "Cousin Scarlet, do you think that Luo Qifang did it on purpose?" ”
Duanmufei also retracted his gaze, still slowly peeling melon seeds in his hand, his eyes flashed, but he answered the question: "When I was Chinese New Year's Eve, my sister and cousin and I once met that Luo Qifang on Changxing Street......"
Duanmu Fei roughly talked about the dispute between Luo Qifang and Qianjintang at that time.
"Later, Cousin You took Luo Qifang to another medical center, and the doctor at that medical center said that Luo Qifang's right arm had been cured and completely abolished, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to even hold a pen in the future."
Han Xing was slightly dumbfounded, his little face could not hide his surprise, and he didn't speak for a while.
There was silence all around, and the carriage continued to drive forward to the sound of the coachman's whip, and the noise of people outside gradually dispersed......
"The court chooses officials, and the cripple does not need to be used." Han Xing sighed with embarrassment, "In this way, Luo Qifang's career is completely broken......
"Fractures aren't hard to treat." Duanmu Fei sighed softly.
"Fractures are certainly not difficult to treat." Han Xing touched his chin, squinted thoughtfully, and his thoughts flew, "No wonder, no wonder, I'm afraid this is the plan of the imperial aunt......"
Obviously, Luo Qifang's arm was secretly instigated by Emperor Changqing's aunt to instigate the doctor, that is, to cut off Luo Qifang's career.
After a pause, Han Xing seemed to say to himself: "Luo Qifang is afraid that he hated the imperial aunt so much that he made such a fuss." ”
In Changqing's heart, a mere lifter is afraid that she can be kneaded like an ant, and she doesn't even know the name of the lifter whose hand was cut off by her, so she has come to this point......
Han Xing's eyes were a little complicated, he shook his head, lifted the curtains, and glanced at the closed door again, the carriage turned to the right, and the princess's mansion behind was completely out of sight......
The sun is rising, the weather is getting warmer, and today is a beautiful day with a mild day.
The carriage galloped all the way, and he returned to Shangshu Mansion in a familiar way, Han Xing sent Duanmu Fei to Yimen to put down, and he went back to the palace.
When Duanmufei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, it was only halfway through, Duanmujun had already finished handling the housework, and he came back one step earlier than Duanmufei, and he was playing with the little starling in the east room at the moment, or rather, it was to peel melon seeds for the little starling.
"Zhenzhen." When Duanmu Jun saw his sister coming back, he beckoned to her with a smile and motioned for her to sit down on the Luohan bed.
"Quack!" The little starling swooped over directly, landed on the small table between the two, and jumped on it.
Duanmujun looked at the little guy with a doting look on his face, and continued to feed it melon seeds.
Duanmu Fei stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly on the little starling's head, muttering, "Bad guy! ”
The little starling screamed again, flapping his wings around Duanmujun, as if complaining to her, making Duanmujun smile from ear to ear.
Wisteria laughed playfully on the side: "Fourth girl, as soon as you and the fourth princess go out in the morning, Xiaoba will go to our girl's place to 'complain', and she can't stop croaking, and the expressions of Mama Wu and Mama Zhang at that time are really interesting......
Duanmujun couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the scene at that time, and after throwing a melon seed to the little starling, he asked casually: "Zhenzhen, where did you and Cousin Hanxing go to play?" ”
"Cousin Hanxing took me out to see the excitement......" Duanmu Fei replied obediently, starting from Jiuhua's long kneeling at the gate of the Changqing Eldest Princess's Mansion, speaking of Changqing coming out, and then talking about Luo Qifang also coming out, and finally Luo Qifang resolutely banged on the door......
Duanmufei summarized it in a few words, even if she said it a little vaguely, Duanmujun still understood, and couldn't help frowning, feeling that Hanxing was really a little unreliable, this kind of filthy thing even took her sister to see the excitement, and she was not afraid of dirty her sister's eyes.
Duanmu Jun pursed the corners of his mouth, and looked at Duanmu chanting a sour plum in his mouth, his big eyes flickered, and he looked ignorant, and said secretly in his heart: Fortunately, my sister didn't understand......
Duanmu cleared his throat and changed the subject a little stiffly, "Zhenzhen, have you thought of a welcome gift for the foal?" ”
As soon as he talked about the foal, Duanmu's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the matter of Changqing and Jiuhua behind him, and said with great interest: "Sister, the foal has only been born for a few days, can you eat candy?" Ben Xiao likes to eat the pine nut candy I made the most, can I make some pine nut candy for it? ”
"Or how about I get a set of brushes and combs for it?"
"I've had to ask the groom for the past two days to brush the foal, and I don't know if there's anything special ......"
“……”
Duanmufei said about the foal, the topic was a little unbearable, the little starling seemed to know that there was something to compete with him, and he kept shouting around the sisters, and coaxed Duanmu to peel a lot of melon seeds for it in three or two times.
In the east room, the cheerful laughter of the sisters was filled with the wind......
Duanmujun is a busy man, and after having lunch with Duanmufei, he was busy again, while Duanmufei hid alone in the small study and played chess with himself, leisurely.
But less than ten of her chess pieces fell, and the pothos suddenly came in and said that the second girl was here.
Duanmu raised her eyebrows, and asked the pothos to invite people in.
Today's Duanmuqi wore an apricot red woven silver silk peony flower carved silk gown, with an autumn-scented horse-faced skirt under her head, and a pair of gold-silk beads inlaid with ruby on her sideburns.
"Fourth sister." Duanmu Qi called out, said hello, and then sat down on the other side of the chessboard.
With the domineering and delicate nature of this second girl, Bi Chan and Lu Pothos did not dare to leave these two alone, and Lu Pothos stood by Duanmu Fei's side, and Bi Cicada was responsible for pouring tea and water.
The atmosphere in the room was a little weird, and only Duanmufei was always smiling.
After the cicada served the tea, Duanmuqi pretended to take a sip, moving slowly.
She didn't speak, Duanmufei didn't urge, she continued to play chess by herself, and the sound of falling pieces sounded one after another, one after another.
After a while, Duanmuqi finally put down the teacup, swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "Fourth sister, I came to thank you today." ”
Duanmuqi's chin was slightly raised, and his voice was a little stiff, not like he was here to thank him, but like he was here to seek revenge.
Duanmu Fei said "um", glanced at her lightly, and continued to place the chess pieces.
Duanmu Qi also looked at the chessboard and continued: "Yesterday, after Miss Feng went out of the mansion, she found Miss Zeng to go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Changqing together. ”
Duanmu Qi said, his expression was a little subtle, and he couldn't help but think in his mind, if he followed Feng Congyan to the princess's mansion yesterday, then the person who received this slap today is probably himself!
Playing with tongues and not cultivating women's morality, if these two comments are spread, I am afraid that I will become the laughing stock of the entire capital! Thinking about it, Duanmu Qi's heartbeat was pounding faster, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
Duanmu Fei dropped another sunspot and said "oh" casually.
Duanmuqi was a little uncomfortable when she heard it, and moved crampedly, obviously Duanmufei didn't say anything, just "um" and "oh" twice, but she always felt that Duanmufei was mocking her, and her expression became more and more stiff.
Duanmuqi sullenly picked up the teacup again and took a sip absentmindedly......
At this moment, her little face collapsed in an instant, and the hot tea mouth burned so hot that her tongue almost didn't smoke. If this was in her own house, this tea would have been swept to the ground by her.
However, Duanmuqi finally remembered that this was not her own territory, and she just said that she was here to thank her, so she couldn't beat herself up.
Duanmu Qi's face was blue and red, and his expression was very strange.
Duanmu Fei glanced at Duanmu Qi strangely while falling, feeling that she was really eccentric.
"Quack!"
The two were relatively speechless, the little starling's cheerful voice came from outside, it flew in with a red and bright flower, threw the flower directly on the chessboard, and then spread its wings and landed, not far away on the tall flower table, the pair of golden eyes looked at Duanmu Fei without blinking, as if to say, it's time to feed the birds!
The corners of Duanmufei's eyes twitched, and he thought silently: I really can't indulge this little starling anymore, otherwise the people in this yard will be busy peeling melon seeds for it every day!
Not...... Let's start tomorrow.
Duanmu Fei untied the purse on his waist, took out a melon seed that he peeled in the morning and threw it to the little starling.
"Quack!" The little starling flew up satisfied.
Duanmu Qi quietly looked at the little starling who was flying around the room like a headless fly, and suddenly asked stiffly, "Am I stupid?" ”
Duanmu glanced at her with a smile, didn't speak, just threw another melon seed at random.
Duanmuqi was silent again, and went to hold the teacup meaningfully, but suddenly remembered the tip of his tongue that had been burned, so he put it down again.
She coughed dryly and said stiffly, "I owe you this time." I'll be careful in the future! With that, Duanmuqi stood up and took his leave with his head held high.
Bi Chan sent Duanmu Qi away, and only Duanmu Fei and Pothos were left in the small study, and the surroundings were quiet for a moment.
Green Pothos looked at the door curtain in front of her in a daze, her lips moved, and finally said hesitantly: "Girl, the second girl seems to be a little different......
Duanmu Fei twisted another grain of white and fell, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said casually: "The second sister has learned a lot of lessons recently, it depends on whether she can understand it." ”
Between the words, Bi Chan, who had just sent Duanmuqi away, came back and said, "Fourth girl, the old lady has just come back." ”
Duanmu's scarlet eyes flashed, and he put the sunspot that had just been twisted back into the chess box.
Duanmufei heard Duanmuxian say that the case of King Su's rebellion should be decided in the near future, so she will go to Duanmuxian every day these days.
She stood up unhurriedly, straightened her dress, and then went out of the house with the pothos and went to the outer courtyard.
At this time, it was only halfway through, and the sun was shining, gently sprinkled in the yard, and also sprinkled on Duanmu Fei's body, making her feel warm.
The corners of Duanmu's mouth were crooked, her eyes were shining in the sun, and she walked briskly to the outer study, and the maid in the study immediately led her in.
In the study, quietly.
Only Duanmu Xian sat alone by the window drinking tea, under the backlight, his elegant face looked a little dark, and his eyes seemed to be flickering.
"Four girls, come and sit here." Duanmu Xian raised his eyes from the teacup and looked at Duanmu, and beckoned her to sit next to him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, very kind and kind.
"Yes, grandfather." Duanmu replied with a smile and sat down obediently.
The surroundings suddenly darkened, and the clouds outside blocked the sun, Duanmuxian put down the teacup, and said lightly: "In the early court today, the emperor just convicted King Su. ”
