，

Chaolu's heart tightened, he couldn't think about it, his face smiled even more earnestly, and he said to Duanmu Fei: "The fourth girl of Duanmu is really ingenious, and this palace is ashamed of itself." ”

Han Xing nodded approvingly. That is, her scarlet cousin is naturally ingenious.

Duanmu Fei politely and detached said polite words such as "Thank you for the praise" to Chaolu, which made Chaolu more and more unhappy, and he couldn't continue.

Chaolu couldn't wait to throw off her sleeves and leave, she really didn't understand how such a fatherless and motherless orphan girl could have such a fate to win someone's favor, so that her princess had to condescend to please her!

Chaolu took a deep breath and continued to talk to Duanmu Fei: "Fourth girl Duanmu, it's rare for you to enter the palace, why don't you walk around in the imperial garden, the wisteria flowers in front of you are blooming well, fragrant and fragrant!" ”

Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, and did not mean to invite Chaolu to sit down, and said lightly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Fifth Princess." My cousin and Hanxing came from the Wisteria Gallery. This sentence can be regarded as a euphemistic rejection of Chaolu's proposal.

Han Xing shook his hand and said more bluntly than Duanmu Fei: "Cousin Scarlet doesn't know how many times I've been to the Imperial Garden, what haven't I seen!" ”

Han Xing's words could not hide her dislike for the Imperial Garden, no matter how others praised the Imperial Garden to the point that this garden should only be in the sky, she lived in the palace every day, and she was tired of seeing and visiting for a long time.

The topic that Chaolu had just provoked was blocked by the cousins in a few words.

Chaolu pinched the handkerchief again, and echoed with a smile: "What the Fourth Emperor Sister said is that the flowers and trees in this imperial garden have been seen for a long time, and it is indeed nothing more than that. However, recently, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the flowers are fragrant, attracting a lot of birds, and this bird play is also quite interesting. The palace looks at the yellow warbler on the hairpin head and draws it smartly, and the four girls of Duanmu think that they are also bird lovers, so why don't you go there with the palace to enjoy the flowers and birds? ”

Chaolu pointed to the north opposite to the wisteria flower gallery with his right hand holding the handkerchief, and looked at Duanmu Fei without blinking. Now, Duanmu Fei can't say that she has been there before!

However, Duanmu Fei once again rejected the other party's kindness: "Your Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, I have just been shopping with Cousin Hanxing for a while, and I am ashamed to say that I am weak and unable to walk." ”

Duanmu Fei said unashamedly that she was frail, obviously her face was flushed.

Congzhen silently looked away, in fact, the four girls of Duanmu and the four princesses can be regarded as a pot with a lid, no wonder they are so compatible.

"Duanmu Fourth Girl, in fact, ......"

Chaolu wanted to persuade again, but after saying a few words, he was unceremoniously interrupted by Han Xing: "Fifth Emperor Sister, Cousin Scarlet is the cousin of this palace, not your cousin, don't be foolish!" You're not without a cousin! "There are many girls on the Jiang family's side, and Chaolu has neither a cousin nor a cousin.

Han Xing looked at Chaolu angrily and directly ordered the expulsion.

Seeing the commotion in the pavilion, a few small chamberlains not far away also heard the sound and hurried.

Chaolu looked at the waiters, and then looked at Hanxing, she knew that these waiters could do anything to please Duanmu Fei, even if she was a princess, they could say that they would collide.

This is the palace, but let a mere courtier be the king here, and as a princess, she has to retreat three points!

Chaolu was even more aggrieved in her heart, however, the situation was stronger than people, so she could only say dryly: "What did the fourth imperial sister say, the younger sister just came over to chat with the imperial sister." Since the imperial sister doesn't like the little sister, the little sister will retire. ”

Chaolu didn't wait for Hanxing to speak, turned around and left.

After leaving the pavilion, Chaolu regretted it a little, regretted it, and was a little unwilling, and repeatedly turned around to look at the two people in the pavilion, but finally left step by step.

The two cousins in the pavilion didn't look at Chaolu, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but they laughed again as they spoke, and the silver bell-like laughter spread, and when it came to Chaolu's ears, they only felt extremely harsh.

Chaolu ravaged the handkerchief in his hand repeatedly, rubbing it until it was crumpled like a rag.

She walked all the way forward until she came to the wisteria corridor, and Mu Youjing, the third prince wearing an apricot yellow prince python robe, stood beside the wisteria corridor with his hands in his hands.

Mu Youjing naturally saw that Chaolu came alone, and there was inevitably a trace of disappointment on his handsome face.

"Brother ...... Three Emperors" Chaolu could barely look directly into Mu Youjing's disappointed eyes, and the handkerchief in his hand was even more messy, and he was worried.

The mother concubine is dead, her father is seriously ill, and the only person she can rely on is the royal brother. She knew that only when the royal brother ascended the throne would she be the most expensive eldest princess in Dasheng.

Mu Youjing's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "Chaolu, what's going on?" This question is simple, but it clearly implies blame.

Chaolu flattened her mouth aggrievedly and muttered: "Third Emperor Brother, you also know, every time Duanmu Fei enters the palace, the Fourth Emperor Sister has been holding on to her, and she has never been allowed to play with others. She had only tried several times to lure Duanmu Fei over, but each time she was destroyed by Han Xing.

A hint of resentment flashed in Chaolu's eyes.

Everyone in this palace knows that because of his closeness to Duanmu Fei, Han Xing has received a lot of preferential treatment in the palace that surpasses other princesses, and only Han Xing has those rare materials for tribute, and those jewelry are also sent to Micuizhai first to let Han Xing pick them first, even if he goes to the imperial dining room to ask for a meal, he will give preferential treatment to Han Xing first...... The list goes on.

Mu Youjing pursed his thin lips, and his face was slightly gloomy. He knew that what Chaolu said was the truth, but it was not easy to wait for Duanmu Fei to enter the palace, and Chaolu failed to attract people, so his plan could not be implemented.

Mu Youjing's heart was a little irritated, and he looked in the direction where Chaolu came, and didn't speak for a while.

The spring breeze in April was warm, but the blow on Chaolu's face made her feel a slight chill in her heart.

The silence spread, and Chaolu became more and more uneasy in his heart.

She rubbed her handkerchief again, and cautiously proposed: "Brother Three Emperors, according to the little sister's opinion, did you solve the Three Emperors first...... Xie Xiangling's business. ”

"Otherwise, even if it happens, you can't let her be a concubine."

To tell the truth, Chaolu also wanted Duanmu Fei to be a humble concubine and make her bow to herself. But as Duanmu Fei's identity, if this is the case, Mu Youjing is afraid that not only will he not be able to get what he wants, but he will also offend Cen Yin and Duanmu Xian.

Mu Youjing retracted his gaze from afar, looked at Chaolu, and raised his sword eyebrows.

Mu Youjing has been planning to divorce his wife for a while, but this matter cannot be done for a while without the emperor and empress opening their mouths.

He didn't expect Duanmufei to come today, but he just thought it was a good opportunity, and he missed it, and he didn't know when Duanmufei would enter the palace again next time, and it would be difficult to create opportunities outside the palace......

Mu Youjing's eyes became more and more gloomy, the corners of his lips were still smiling, and his tone was cold: "If it happens, just let that slut die violently and vacate the seat." ”

Hearing Mu Youjing talk about "violent death", Chaolu's heartbeat missed two beats, his whole body was cold, he lowered his head uneasily, his eyes moved down, and he stared at the pair of Feiyan embroidered on the tips of his shoes in a daze.

She remembered Concubine Jiang Ning, who "died violently".

As we all know, Concubine Jiang Ning was killed by the evil servant, and the evil servant has been killed with a rod, but there has been another saying in the palace, saying that Concubine Jiang Ning was "sacrificed", as for whether she was voluntarily sacrificed or forced to sacrifice, it is unknown.

Chaolu couldn't help but glance at Mu Youjing's cold side face, and at this time, Mu Youjing happened to say again: "What other chances......

He looked irritably at the pavilion where Han Xing and Duanmu Fei were.

Chaolu silently withdrew his gaze again, and stopped talking.

The brother and sister had different thoughts, but they were both preoccupied, so they didn't notice that behind a rockery not far behind them stood a beautiful figure with a plum red jacket.

Xie Xiangling's nails sank deep into the tender palms, almost pinching the skin, and his expression was cold like a demon crawling out of hell.

There is a saying that there is no father and son in heaven.

These royals are the most ruthless, and everything can be abandoned for the sake of profit.

Not only ruthless, but also useless!

Xie Xiangling stared at Mu Youjing's slender and straight back viciously, and his eyes became even more gloomy.

She wouldn't be so at the mercy of Mu Youjing, a villain, and wanted her to die violently to make room for Duanmu Fei, impossible!

Xie Xiangling's eyes also looked towards the pavilion where Han Xing and Duanmu Fei were, the pavilion was more than forty zhang away, in fact, Duanmu Fei's face could not be seen clearly from Xie Xiangling's location, but she still stubbornly stared at Duanmu Fei, her expression was stubborn and cold, with a jade burning absolutely.

"Ahh Duanmu suddenly felt the hairs on his neck stand on end, and he sneezed violently.

She rubbed her nose and muttered, "Who's reading me?" ”

Han Xing remembered that Duanmu Fei said that he was weak, and teased her with a smile: "Cousin Scarlet, are you infected with the wind cold?" Hey, you are really 'weak', how about this palace summon the imperial doctor to come over and ask you for a pulse? ”

Duanmufei's eyes widened slightly, and he shook his head frequently.

She didn't know that these imperial doctors, even if they were not sick, they could prescribe some tonic medicine to nourish their body, and she didn't want to drink medicine.

Duanmu Fei flattened her mouth pitifully, in the past two months, the eldest princess of Anping didn't know what was wrong, so she sent various supplements to Duanmu Mansion every three or five days, and also intimately attached a list of medicinal meals.

The things given to Duanmufei often come to Duanmujun first, Duanmujun asked Mama Zhang to help look at these medicinal food lists together, and felt that Anping was really too thoughtful, and Duanmufei should make up for it at this age.

Zhiduanmu Scarlet Ruhanxing keenly glanced at some clues from Duanmu Scarlet's strange expressions and movements, and asked curiously: "Cousin Scarlet, what's wrong with you?" She wrapped herself around Duanmu softly, looking like she wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Duanmu Fei was full of bitterness and had nowhere to say, as soon as Han Xing asked, she said obediently, and finally complained: "Cousin Han Xing, my mouth still smells of medicine, and no matter how much you eat, you can't get rid of it!" ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Fei picked up the pastel teacup at hand and poured most of the cup of flower tea in one go, but he still felt that there was a strong smell of medicine in his mouth.

When she was still Chu Qing's resignation, in just fourteen years of life, she almost couldn't leave her mouth, and she was really afraid of taking medicine.

"Hahahahahaha......ha

Han Xing was amused, laughed without sympathy, and rubbed the top of Duanmufei's soft hair, and said jokingly: "Cousin Scarlet, you are weak, you should make up for it." You see, how good the body of this palace is, archery, horseback riding, juju polo, everything is no problem! ”

Han Xing suddenly felt that the concubine was already very polite to her, at least she didn't pour medicinal food on her.

She said to herself in her heart that it was only a little more than a month anyway, so she would stay in the palace obediently, so as not to "anger" her mother and find guilt.

Han Xing seized the opportunity to squeeze his eyebrows and seduced Duanmu Fei: "Cousin Scarlet, why don't you just stay in the palace and stay with the palace for a few days, don't you have to drink medicinal food?" ”

To tell the truth, Duanmu Fei was really moved for a moment, but when she thought that less than a third of the peacock cloak had been embroidered at home, the scale in her heart immediately leaned to one side.

"I'd better go home." Duanmu Scarlet said rhetorically, "My cloak hasn't been embroidered yet!" "What if Ah Yan is thinking of her in Huaizhou?

Han Xing also said in passing, in fact, she didn't really think that she could leave Duanmu Fei, and rubbed the top of her hair again with a smile, "You embroider the cloak well." ”

As soon as he thought of the peacock cloak, Han Xing couldn't help but feel itchy, curious about what Duanmu Fei had embroidered, and on the other hand, he felt that he and his cousin were both fallen people at the end of the world, and they were locked up at home every day to do embroidery work.

The two cousins hugged each other and took pity on each other, and after a while, the two laughed again and played around.

Duanmufei didn't leave the palace until Shen Shi returned home, and when she got off the carriage at Yimen, the sun was already setting in the west.

From the mouth of the green pothos, he heard that Duanmu Jun was in Hanlian Courtyard, and Duanmu Fei also went to Hanlian Courtyard to visit Ji Lanzhou.

Ji Lanzhou has been recuperating on the couch for two months since that almost miscarriage, and the fetal phase has stabilized a lot, but he still can't stay.

When he is idle, Ji Lanzhou is making children's clothes, swaddling clothes, small socks, small hats and small shoes, etc.

"Sister-in-law, your tiger head hat, as well as this tiger head shoes and tiger head belly pocket are so cute!" Duanmu Fei couldn't put it down, playing with a set of tiger clothes, tiger hats and tiger shoes embroidered by Ji Lanzhou, and occasionally exchanged ears with Duanmu.

At that time, people thought that wearing tiger clothes, hats and shoes could make children angry, avoid all kinds of diseases and harms, and children could grow up healthily.

"I'm thinking about making another set of carp patterns." Ji Lanzhou's gentle and beautiful face was filled with a loving smile, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he subconsciously touched his lower abdomen.

She was the first child, and her abdomen was still flat, and she couldn't see any pregnancy, and there was no fetal movement, but she seemed to feel the child growing in her body little by little......

Duanmujun persuaded with a smile: "Lan Zhou, you are still shallow, take your time, don't worry, the needlework room in the house is not a decoration." ”

Ji Lanzhou nodded softly, and his eyebrows softened.

Her eldest maid said on the silk bamboo: "Don't worry, big girl, the slaves and maids are staring at the young lady." ”

Duanmu Fei played with the set of tiger clothes, tiger hats and tiger shoes again, and his hands were a little itchy, and several interesting patterns flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but clasp his hands and said: "Sister-in-law, I thought of several patterns of tiger clothes, and when I go back to draw them and make them for my little nephew, they must be very cute." ”

She had already begun to imagine how cute and handsome Duanmu Heng and Ji Lanzhou's children would be.

Duanmu Jun pointed at Duanmu Fei's fingertips to wake her up from her reverie, and Duanmu Jun said funny: "You come to draw, I'll do it." Haven't you finished embroidering your cloak yet? ”

Ji Lanzhou and the two big maids in the house also knew that Duanmu Fei had been embroidering cloaks in retreat recently, and couldn't help but laugh.

The atmosphere in the house is very warm.

Accompanied by Ji Lanzhou and chatted about incense, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun said goodbye together, and the sisters returned to Zhanqing Courtyard together.

The sky is full of colorful clouds, and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard is overwhelming.

The two sisters walked all the way, chatting all the way, and Duanmu Jun asked with a smile: "Zhen Zhen, is it fun in the palace?" ”

"It's not fun." Duanmu shook her head honestly.

She entered the palace this time to let Han Xing take a look at the freshly made hairpin, to see if there was anything that needed to be improved, the hairpin was actually only the first of a complete set of head noodles, as well as matching earrings, bracelets, Yingluo, etc.

"Cousin Hanxing was locked up in the palace and was about to die of boredom. How pathetic! Duanmu said sympathetically.

Although she is locked up at home to do needlework, she is much happier than Han Xing, and she can go out at any time to breathe.

Duanmufei casually told Duanmujun what he had seen and heard in the palace today, and the corners of Duanmujun's lips were never lowered.

Between the words, Zhanqing Yuan appeared at the end of the bluestone path, Duanmujun suddenly remembered something, stopped, took out an envelope from his cuff, and said, "Zhen Zhen, there is your letter." It's a letter from Ah Yan to you. ”

Duanmufei didn't care about entering the courtyard, so he couldn't wait to take the envelope from Duanmujun's hand, open the envelope, take out the letter and look at it happily.

Odd?

How could Ah Yan's letter be in the hands of his sister?

Duanmujun understood what she meant from Duanmufei's eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, but he didn't say anything.

Even if Duanmujun didn't say it, Duanmufei guessed it.

Feng Yan's letters have always been sent to Cen Yin first, so this letter was either sent by Cen Yin or sent by Cen Yin himself.

Duanmu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and happily went to read the letter again, only to find that there was a small envelope in the envelope, which was a letter written by Luo Qifang to Jiuhua.

Ignoring indecency, Duanmufei naturally didn't look at other people's letters, and put the small envelope back for the time being, planning to send someone to Jiuhua later.

The sisters walked to the east room and sat down by the window.

Duanmu read Feng Yan's letter carefully, this time, word by word, I can't wait to memorize it.

Seeing that his sister was in a good mood, Duanmu Jun asked with a smile: "What did Ah Yan say in the letter?" ”

Duanmu Fei raised his head from the letter paper and said with great interest: "Ah Yan told me some of the folk customs of Huaizhou, he said that Huaizhou people like to eat raw food, even the grass can be washed, put some condiments or dip some soy sauce, fish sauce and other dipping sauces to eat directly. ”

For thousands of years, the people of the Central Plains have also had the habit of eating raw meat, but they rarely eat raw grass and wild vegetables.

Bi Cicada and Green Pothos were dumbfounded when they heard it, imagining the appearance of Nanhuai people grabbing the grass and eating it raw, Bi Cicada laughed out loud and said, "Isn't that like Feipiao?" ”

When Bi Cicada said this, it made the green pothos and wisteria laugh too, and the wisteria sighed: "It is said that the barbarian Ru Mao drinks blood, and there is such a strange way to eat." ”

Duanmu Jun said with a smile: "What's so strange about this. The Central Plains is vast, and there are local customs in various places, and there is no cold houttuynia in Sichuan cuisine? ”

Duanmu Fei nodded slightly, and said: "Qingzhou people like to eat green onions raw, dandelions, camellia, and bracken can also be eaten raw." ”

Duanmu Jun frowned, his expression showed a bit of nostalgia and emotion, and said: "Zhen Zhen, when you were in the north before, you were still young, so I am afraid that I don't remember many things, but in fact, there are many places in the north where the folk customs are somewhat similar to those of Beiyan." ”

"Horses chase water and grass, people rely on cheese, and shoot for daily use." Duanmu Fei answered smoothly.

The Northern Yan people are nomadic people, not all Han people in the north, and there are many small tribes, these small tribes are also nomadic people, and their way of survival is naturally inseparable from these sixteen words.

Bi Cicada seemed to be a little fascinated when she heard it, swallowed her saliva and said, "Fourth girl, the cheese you said is cheese, right?" I've heard that the cheese in the north is sweet and sour......"

"You know how to eat!" The green pothos stretched out her finger and tapped on the forehead of the cicada, and the cicada touched her forehead aggrievedly, causing a burst of crisp laughter in the room.

Duanmu frowned and said: "Although there is no cheese here for the time being, but there are shepherd's cabbage, now is the season to eat shepherd's cabbage, pothos, you let the small kitchen make a few more bowls of shepherd's cabbage wontons at night." One serving per person in the courtyard. Thinking of the fragrant and delicious wontons with fresh meat and vegetables, Duanmu Fei couldn't help but move his index fingers.

This capsule's wonton is naturally considered a plus dish today.

Green pothos and a few other maids were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked the master for the reward, and went down happily.

The laughter of the maids was gone, and the east room was quiet.

Duanmu Fei stared at Duanmu Jun without blinking, staring at Duanmu Jun almost thinking that his face was blooming, Duanmu Fei moved, raised his hand and pulled down a pink petal from Duanmu Jun's hair, this petal is no more than the size of a fingernail, pink and tender.

Duanmu raised his willow eyebrows, showed a meaningful smile, and said, "Sakura." ”

There are no cherry blossoms planted in Duanmu Fuchu.

"Sister, did you go out to play today?" Duanmu Fei said and deliberately guided Duanmu Jun's eyes to look at the envelope in his hand, and the meaning of banter was overflowing.

Duanmu Jun looked at the cherry blossom petals between Duanmu's fingers, and then looked at the letter paper she was holding in her other hand, her eyes were full of light, obviously she didn't say anything, even the corners of her mouth were still the same arc, but her body exuded a coquettishness.

The room was quiet for a while, Duanmu moved, raised his hand and passed the delicate petals from Duanmu's fingers, and said with a smile: "I went to watch a play with Cen Gongzi today." ”

Yes?! Duanmu Fei's eyes widened in surprise, and he pursed his small mouth and muttered, "Sister, don't you call me when you watch the play!" "She can go into the palace tomorrow to see Hanxing.

"It's also improvised." Duanmujun's lowered eyes stared at the petals on his fingertips, and his eyes softened, "I was originally going to Xiangyun Lane today......"

After coming out of Li's house today, she changed her route to Cen Mansion, originally just wanted to find an excuse to leave a message, and let the porter tell Cen Yin that she had something to ask him for help, who would think that Cen Yin happened to be in the mansion......

At the head of the wall of Cen Mansion, there are several cherry blossom branches sticking out of the wall, and when the wind blows, the petals of the cherry blossoms fall with the wind, like a rain of flowers.

A pink cherry blossom happened to be blown down on her shoulder, and he still swept the cherry blossom for her, his fingertips inadvertently brushed her sideburns, and she could almost feel the temperature of his fingertips......

Duanmu Jun bit her lower lip slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had a little secret with him again, sweet.

Duanmujun half-hung her eyes, her eyes flowed, and the sunlight outside the window seemed to shine with a bright luster on her face, like a blooming peony, very bright.

Duanmu Fei is almost a little stupid, her sister is so good-looking!

Duanmujun only said half of it, and Duanmufei thought that she met Cen Yin halfway to Li's house, so she temporarily decided to go to the play.

Since the wedding date of Da Hanxing and Li Tingyou was set, Duanmujun would go to Xiangyun Lane from time to time to help, because the Li family now has only Mrs. Li in Beijing, and Mrs. Li is old and has chronic illnesses, so it is not suitable to work.

Duanmujun has been in charge of the housekeeping at home for several years, and she also helped with the marriage of Duanmuheng and Ji Lanzhou before, so she still has some experience in the operation of marriage, and with her help, Mrs. Li naturally has a lot of worries.

In just over a month, the courtyard and the wedding hall where the newlyweds want to live have been renovated, and the furniture, furnishings, utensils, incense and candles to be purchased have also been prepared......

In the busy, Mrs. Chu's birthday arrived, and early in the morning, Duanmufei and Duanmujun got into a carriage and went to the Xuanguo Mansion for a birthday banquet.

Duanmufei is a frequent visitor to the Xuanguo Mansion, and Mama Yu, who welcomes guests in Yimen today, is very familiar with her, and she salutes the sisters affectionately.

"Duanmu eldest girl, four girls, and two slaves and maids will go over to see Mrs. Tai."

Mama Yu personally led the sisters to the main hall of the Xuanguo Mansion.

In the main hall, a piece of clothes and temples, jewels, has arrived at many mansion women, among which the most eye-catching and noble is the eldest princess of Anping.
