On February 20, there was another wave in the court, and the emperor reopened the early court more than a month after the boycott, and the court meeting of the day lasted until the middle of the afternoon.

After that, Duanmu Xian neither went to Wenyuan Pavilion nor went to the household department, and hurriedly returned to the house, not only called Duanmu Fei, but even Duanmu Heng, who was in class in Guozijian, was picked up by him.

"The emperor has agreed to issue an edict at today's court meeting." Duanmu Xian said to his grandchildren with a solemn expression, "It is estimated that this matter will spread in Beijing in the next two days......" I am afraid that there will be some ripples in Beijing.

Duanmu Fei slowly drank a cup of Biluochun, listening a little absentmindedly, and his soul flew out of the sky.

She lived in the palace for more than half a month, and just came back yesterday, Han Xing still refused to let her go, and reluctantly sent her back to the mansion in person, and muttered that she would leave the palace early to open the mansion, and take her to the princess's mansion to live in the future.

Duanmufei has always been good, and after the cousins imagined a better life in the future, they made an appointment to go to the suburbs together in a few days to walk horses.

Hmm, what do you have to bring with you on the day of your trip?

Duanmu secretly pondered, Feipian must be brought, every day in the house is estimated to suffocate the little guy to death, so why not call Xiaoxi, but also bring the dark night by the way...... Hey, it's a pity that Ben Xiao is not there.

"Four girls, what do you think?" Duanmuxian picked up the teacup, put it down again, looked at Duanmufei with a deep gaze and asked.

Duanmu crooked his little face, and instead of answering, he asked, "Grandfather, did Lord Cen say anything?" ”

Duanmuxian shook his head, slowly brushing his beard, and his face groaned.

Since the incident of beating those military generals to make the emperor guilty of his own edict came out, Cen Yin has not expressed any opinion on this matter in public from beginning to end, which makes many people who are watching Cen Yin's attitude a little confused, and they are all unmoved.

However, it is unknown whether Cen Yin had said anything to the emperor in private.

"That's right." Duanmu smiled brightly, like a delicate flower waiting to be released, her white little hands gently rubbed on the white porcelain embossed teacup, and her pink nails shimmered with a pearl-like luster.

"......" Duanmu Xian raised his eyebrows suspiciously, urging his granddaughter with his eyes.

Duanmu Fei didn't explain, and changed his words with a smile: "Grandfather, who will draw up the edict of the guilty?" ”

In Dasheng, the imperial texts such as the holy decrees, edicts, and replies on the excerpts were drafted by the celebrant supervisor.

Duanmuxian was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is also strange, after the emperor agreed to issue an edict of guilt, Wei Guogong immediately said that this edict should not be drafted by the celebrant eunuch, saying that the eunuch should not ask the heavens for guilt on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the edict should be submitted to the cabinet or Hanlin to draw up. ”

Duanmu's crimson jade white face didn't show a little surprise, and said with a smile: "Just like we want to use the military department to contain the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Geng Hai is trying to cut the power of the celebrant in disguise. ”

Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Heng both squinted thoughtfully, pondering.

In the Dasheng Dynasty, the emperor, the cabinet and the celebrant formed a subtle check and balance, the emperor in order to limit the authority of the cabinet, favored the celebrant and the celebrant authority, and the authority of the celebrant became larger and larger, and if he wanted to cut power, he must necessarily divide power from the celebrant supervisor.

Once the celebrant retreats this time, after the edict is due, Geng Hai will inevitably go further and seize the authority of the celebrant to draft the decree......

Then, step by step, weaken the celebrant supervisor.

Duanmufei put down the teacup, the corners of his mouth curved, and reminded: "Grandfather, the cabinet can't take over this matter no matter what." As she spoke, her expression became a little solemn.

Duanmuxian was calm on the surface, but his mood was racing.

Listening to the meaning of the granddaughter, it seems that it is not because she is afraid that she will offend Cen Yin by taking over the errand of the proposed order, but she should have other intentions.

Duanmu Xian moved his eyebrows with a little understanding, and also picked up the teacup, weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and soon made a decision: Just listen to the four girls, yes.

After taking two sips of hot tea slowly, Duanmu Xian casually greeted the Duanmu concubine in the palace: "Fourth girl, you have lived in the palace for several days, how is your aunt lately?" ”

"Aunt Guifei is all right." Duanmu Fei said bluntly, "Just a few days ago, Mrs. Geng went to Zhongcui Palace to see Aunt Guifei, and talked about Feng Nu for a while, and then mentioned cousin Xian, the meaning of the words seemed to be wanting to marry cousin Xian......"

Duanmu Fei calmly told Mrs. Geng that she wanted to marry Geng Tinglian to the eldest prince.

Duanmu Xian's eyes lit up instantly, and it was undeniable that for a moment, he was moved by the great benefits that this marriage might bring.

But soon he calmed down, and said to himself in his heart that he didn't dare to tie the Duanmu family and the eldest prince to the Geng family.

Duanmu Heng's eyebrows moved, frowned slightly, and said: "Cousin Xian is now in the south, taking his life to earn military merits, how can his glory be compared to a so-called 'phoenix girl'!" ”

In Duanmu Heng's view, tying the so-called "phoenix girl" to the eldest prince together is an insult to the efforts made by the eldest prince and the kind of consciousness he resolutely went to the battlefield.

Duanmu was stunned and almost didn't laugh.

My own big brother is really interesting.

Duanmu Fei diligently poured tea for Duanmu Heng, and obediently personally delivered the teacup to him to show his approval.

"Ahem." Duanmu Xian cleared his throat and reminded the little girl, where is his tea?!

Duanmu Fei immediately and filial piety poured tea and incense for his grandfather, so that Duanmu Xian could be used.

After drinking another cup of tea, Duanmuxian stood up and said, "Brother Heng, four girls, I'll go back to the household yamen first." "He slipped back to the house after the court meeting was dispersed, and there are still a lot of things to deal with in the household department.

Duanmu Fei's heart tightened, he almost didn't jump up, he immediately got up, and smiled casually: "I made an appointment with Cousin Hanxing to go outing, but I haven't prepared anything...... Grandfather, then I'll go back to Zhanqing Courtyard first. ”

Without waiting for Duanmu Xian to speak, Duanmu Fei took three steps and made two steps, quickly opened the curtain by himself, and ran away in a smoke.

Duanmuxian looked at the shaking brocade curtain, shook his head with a smile, and said casually: "This girl is too anxious, didn't she say last night that she would go to the green in a few days?" ”

"......" Duanmu Heng also looked at the brocade curtain, with a subtle expression.

Duanmu Fei ran back to the other side of the instrument door from the outer study, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and sighed silently in his heart: She is so busy hiding from her eldest brother every day!

Duanmu Fei took two deep breaths, patted her chest again, and continued to walk in the direction of Zhanqing Courtyard, thinking in her heart: When she goes back, she will take a nap beautifully, and after waking up, her sister must have prepared a snack!

Duanmu Fei felt that his heart was happy, and his steps were brisker.

When she walked through the small garden, she suddenly heard a sharp female voice coming from not far away, piercing her eardrums: "Second sister, the matter of the seventh son of the Xu family...... Do you know that too?! ”

Duanmu Fei subconsciously stopped, and when he heard the sound, he saw that in a pavilion seven or eight zhang away, Duanmu Qi and Duanmu Yuan were standing facing each other, and the person who had just spoken was Duanmu Yuan.

"Third sister, you have no beginning or end in your words," Duanmu Qi frowned and said angrily, "How do I know what you're talking about!" ”

"You ......" Duanmuyuan stomped his feet, his pretty face turned red, and he only felt that Duanmuqi was deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"You're still going to play dumb?!" Duanmu Yuan took half a step forward, glared at Duanmu Qi excitedly, gritted his teeth and said, "Your mother is intentional...... Isn't it true that you are looking for someone like that for me? ”

Duanmu Yuan's age is not young, and she has reached the age of seeing each other's relatives, but her parents are still in Zhongzhou Ru County and will not be able to come back for a while, so she wrote a letter to the capital to ask Xiao He's to help take a look, and Xiao He also agreed, and took Duanmu Yuan to see each other two days ago.

Originally, Duanmu Yuan thought that the other party was good, but today the maid went to inquire, and only then did she know that the seventh son of the Xu family was the son of the Xu family of Dali Temple, but he was not the son of Lord Xu, but the son of the side branch family, and he was just a mere talent.

"I know, it must be because your mother thinks your family affairs are not good, so she deliberately found me a worse family!" The more Duanmu Yuan talked, the more angry he became, and the more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case, and he felt that his parents were really entrusted to him.

Duanmu Qi's face was not very good-looking, and he clenched his fists tightly, feeling that Duanmu Yuan was like a mad dog, biting people indiscriminately.

It's really helpful, and it's not good!

Duanmu Qi pursed her lips and put down her cruel words: "If you have a kind, don't let my mother find it!" ”

After speaking, Duanmuqi turned around and wanted to leave, Duanmuyuan excitedly wanted to hold her arm, and shouted: "Duanmuqi, stop, you are not allowed to go!" ”

Duanmu Yuan only felt that his heart was biting like some insect, and it was extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath.

Her father and mother are not there, her younger brother is still young, her grandmother He is "crazy", and her grandfather Duanmuxian is busy every day, and he can't even take care of the marriage of his eldest brother and eldest sister, where can he take care of her!

If she doesn't rely on her second aunt Xiao He's family, does she want her to find a girl's family by herself?!

Duanmu Yuanyi grabbed Duanmu Qi's arm, and felt that Xiao He and Duanmu Qi were clearly deliberately embarrassing themselves!

"Let go of me!" Duanmuqi was scratched by Duanmu Yuan, struggled, and raised her voice slightly.

Duanmufei watched the two sisters pushing each other, and felt that she still didn't want to join in the "excitement", so she simply went around in a circle and walked from another road.

They will quarrel, even if they quarrel with themselves.

Well, fortunately, my family affairs have been decided early, which really saves my sister a lot of trouble! Duanmu thought smugly, walking briskly.

As soon as Duanmu Fei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, he was called to the east by Wisteria.

"Zhenzhen, take a look at these two new riding outfits, and see which one you like?" Duanmujun was sitting on the Luohan bed, looking at the two sets of riding clothes spread out on the side with great interest, one was plum red and the other was primrose.

These two riding costumes are all newly made this year, although the clothes of each room have a rule in the public school, but since the long room got back the Li family's dowry, some are silver, and Duanmu Jun loves to dress up his sister on weekdays, and he has to make a few clothes for Duanmu Fei every season.

Without waiting for Duanmu Fei to answer, Duanmu Jun proposed with great interest: "Zhen Zhen, you should try this primrose-colored one, I think it looks good in this color in spring." ”

Duanmu Fei had no room to refuse, and the pothos smiled and pushed her to a screen in the corner, and Bi Cicada picked up the primrose-colored riding suit.

Soon there was a sound of changing clothes behind the screen, Duanmu thought about it, and then ordered Wisteria, and the maids went in and out, busy.

After a cup of tea, Duanmu Fei changed into a new riding costume and walked out from behind the screen, and at a glance he found that there were more things piled up on Luohan's bed, several boxes full of jewelry, a black horsewhip, and a scimitar with gems embedded in the scabbard.

Duanmujun looked at Duanmufei and smiled even more happily, beckoned to her, and said happily: "Zhenzhen, when you go to the green, bring this scimitar and whip, you must be heroic." Come here, I'll match you with some more jewelry......"

Duanmu Fei just looked at those jeweled jewelry boxes, and felt that his head was heavy.

"Sister, it's better not to wear too much jewelry when riding a horse, it's too heavy." She said seriously.

My sister said yes. Duanmu Jun nodded thoughtfully, so he changed his words: "Zhenzhen, your current hairstyle doesn't match your clothes, I'll comb it for you." ”

Duanmu Fei sat down on the ground, and obediently combed her hair by her sister.

Before Duanmufei's hair was combed, Wisteria came and said, "The eldest girl, the fourth girl, and the third girl are here." ”

Duanmuyuan rarely comes to Zhanqing Courtyard on weekdays, and after Duanmujun heard it, he was stunned, and his face showed a touch of surprise.

Duanmufei probably guessed the purpose of Duanmuyuan's trip, and roughly told him about the quarrel between Duanmuyuan and Duanmuqi on the way to Zhanqing Courtyard just now.

Duanmu moved his eyebrows and said, "Let her in." ”

Wisteria bent his knees to receive the order, and after a while, he brought Duanmu Yuan in.

Seeing that Duanmu Fei was also there, Duanmu Yuan was not surprised, his eyes swept quickly over the new clothes and jewelry on the Luohan bed, and the hand holding the handkerchief was slightly forced.

Duanmu Yuan knew at a glance that these clothes were made for Duanmu, as well as these valuable jewelry...... Everything is better than your own!

Duanmu Yuan's eyes quickly swept a strange light, and said in his heart: After this big sister took charge of the feed, she used the silver in the public to find a lot of "convenience" for the long house, and she was the daughter of the Duanmu family, but Duanmu Fei even had many more clothes than herself.

Rao was dissatisfied in his heart, but on the surface, Duanmu Yuan still made a gentle appearance, and stepped forward to greet Duanmu and Duanmu.

Duanmujun was still combing Duanmufei's hair, his hands were busy braiding a small braid, and said with a smile: "Third sister, they are all their own sisters, you can sit alone, you don't have to be polite." ”

After Duanmu Yuan answered, he sat down on a circle chair by the window, and at the same time, the green pothos served Duanmu Yuan hot tea.

After that, the room fell silent.

Duanmujun didn't ask why Duanmu Yuan came, and continued to comb Duanmu's hair, and his slender ten fingers flew flexibly, and under the black green silk, it looked more and more white as jade.

Duanmu Fei sat in front of the bronze mirror, playing with the scimitar with both hands casually. This scimitar was sent to her by Xu Jingsi Tuo Fengyan from Pu Guo, whether it is the knife shape, or the patterns and gems on the scabbard, it is very different from the style of the Central Plains.

Duanmu Fei pulled out the scimitar slightly, and happily took a hair and compared it to the blade, and the thin hair broke in an instant.

Hmm, is this the legendary hair-picking and hair breaking?!

Duanmu looked at the little fox who was sleeping not far away with bright eyes, and wanted to borrow a fox fur from it to try the knife.

The little fox felt a deep "malice" in his sleep, opened his ice-blue fox eyes vigilantly, looked at Duanmu for a moment, and then ran away, causing the maids in the room to look at the little fox's back in surprise, and said in his heart: It's rare to see the panicked look of the group, is there anything they don't know about happened?

Duanmu pursed her lips innocently, she didn't plan to pull its fur, that is, she just wanted to stroke it on its back and smooth a fallen fox fur.

Duanmu Yuan on the side took a sip of hot tea, praised this tea for a while, said that the little starling was cute and clever with a clear conscience, and said that the weather was warmer, which was suitable for spring or something.

She didn't have anything to say, so she waited for Duanmujun to take the initiative to ask why she came, but Duanmujun just responded casually without a word.

Duanmu Yuan waited and waited, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it, twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and said in a snort: "Big sister, I also have nothing to do today to go to the Three Treasures Palace, a few days ago my father and mother wrote a letter back from Ru County, saying that I am also almost at the age of Ji Lu, and I want to ......."

After a pause, she finished her words in one go, "I want to ask my eldest sister to call the shots for me to marry." ”

After the words fell, the room was quiet for a moment, the maids looked at each other, Duanmu Jun looked through the bronze mirror, looking at Duanmu Yuan's flushed face behind him, his eyes flashing slightly.

She doesn't accept this kind of thankless work, anyway, her sister is already engaged, and it has nothing to do with who others are engaged to.

Duanmujun picked up an ivory comb grate, combed Duanmu for it unhurriedly, and said "helplessly": "Third sister, although the eldest sister is like a mother, and my grandmother is 'sick' again, but in the end, the elders in the house are all there, there are grandfathers, second aunts, fourth aunts and fifth aunts, and my sister's family affairs should be entrusted to several elders, I am just a sister, and the rice I eat is not as much salt as a few elders, so I really can't be the master." ”

Duanmuyuan's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the handkerchief became harder.

Originally, her grandfather asked her to go to Ru County with her parents, but she didn't leave, and her grandmother protected her at that time, although her grandfather didn't say anything, but in the past two years, her grandfather almost didn't think that his granddaughter didn't exist, and he couldn't rely on his grandfather.

And the second aunt, with a sweet face and a black heart, can't wait to marry her worse than Duanmuqi......

She came to Duanmujun today, in fact, she thought that Duanmujun was valued by her grandfather and took care of the family's middle feed, if Duanmujun could help her go to her grandfather to say good things, how could her grandfather attach importance to her marriage, even if Duanmujun was inconvenient to look at herself, with her grandfather taking care of her, the second aunt would not dare to slack off on herself.

Right now......

Duanmu Yuan was helpless, aggrieved and confused in her heart, feeling that she was almost alone in this huge mansion, her eyes were sour, and a layer of hazy mist appeared in front of her.

Suddenly, she stood up and knelt on the cold bluestone floor with a thud.

"Big sister, they are all sisters of their own family, blood is thicker than water, sister begs you......"

As she spoke, she choked up, tears gurgled down from the corners of her eyes, and when the beautiful girl was crying, her delicate body trembled slightly like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, looking pitiful.

Duanmu Jun frowned slightly, and the action of combing Duanmu Fei's hair also paused.

Wisteria and Pothos quickly exchanged glances, and walked towards Duanmu Yuan obediently.

"Third girl, it's cold on the ground, and the slave and maid will help you up." Wisteria said with a smile.

As he spoke, Wisteria and Pothos helped Duanmu Yuan up.

Duanmujun turned his head to look at Duanmuyuan, and said lightly: "Third sister, you better go back carefully and think about what I said, don't rush to the doctor." ”

Duanmujun's words are equivalent to issuing an eviction order.

Duanmuyuan looked at Duanmuyuan, wanting to say something but swallowed the words again, and his mind was flying.

She felt that Duanmujun didn't say anything to death, and she didn't dare to offend her for the time being, but she was finally blessed, and said dryly: "Big sister, fourth sister, then I'll go first." ”

Wisteria personally sent Duanmu Yuan out, and the sound of Duanmu Yuan's footsteps gradually faded away.

The room was quiet for a while, and Duanmu Jun finally combed Duanmu Fei's hair bun and gave her a pair of red gold flowers.

She looked at Duanmufei reflected in the bronze mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and then sat down next to Duanmufei, took her little hand and said: "Zhenzhen, you have to remember that the gentleman kneels to the heavens and the parents kneel to the heavens, the slaves and maids kneel to the masters, and the commoners kneel to the official mansion, those are all etiquette." However, in addition to this, those who can kneel casually must be careful. ”

"Just put down your dignity casually, this kind of person is the most terrifying, no matter what they ask for, once you don't do it, you can turn your face and deny people in a blink of an eye, and even bite you back!"

"For example, the third girl Tao, such as your third sister......"

"Zhenzhen, people should have kindness, but compassion and kindness also depend on who they are."

Duanmu Jun looked at his sister solemnly, and the beautiful willow leaves were bright and warm in her eyes.

"Whatever my sister says, I'll do." Duanmu Fei nodded obediently, and said in his heart: My sister is really transparent!

Duanmu Fei held Duanmu Jun's arm, snuggled his head on her shoulder, so coquettish, and pestered Duanmu Jun to accompany her and Hanxing to go on a green trip at that time.

Duanmujun has always been unable to resist his sister, so he should get down, and Duanmufei was enthusiastic to pick up the riding outfit for Duanmujun, and his spirit was flying.

However, plans have not kept up with the changes.

Three days later, Hanxing had someone deliver a letter, and the first sentence in the letter was that her father would also go with them.

"......" Duanmu Fei looked at the silk paper in his hand, dumbfounded, and his first reaction was that the emperor was too idle.

But after thinking about it again, the emperor has indeed been very idle these days, because the matter of who will make up the edict has not yet been decided, and the emperor is angry, so he quits the court again.

Duanmu Fei couldn't say a word in his heart, and continued to look at the letter in his hand.

Han Xing explained in the letter that she accidentally said that she missed her mouth when she asked the emperor to say goodbye last night, and the emperor heard that the two of them were going to go on a trip, and he was also interested, so he said that he was going to go too, saying that he was going to run a horse and scatter his heart.

Duanmu pursed his lips, his expression becoming more and more subtle.

She was wrong, the emperor is not idle, he is not idle, there have been many things in the past few months, and there is no spring hunt arranged, and the emperor is afraid that he is panicked.

Han Xing also said in the letter that not only the emperor was going, but also a number of other people, comforting Duanmufei, this time when she went out, she would accompany her father to relax, and after a few days, she would never tell the emperor, and the two of them would quietly go out to play.

Duanmufei's little face changed several times with Han Xing's letter, shaking his head for a while, pursing his lips for a while, sighing for a while, and smiling again for a while.

The pothos and cicadas on the side glanced at each other, a little curious about what the fourth princess wrote in the letter.

Duanmujun was also a little curious, and was about to ask, when Duanmufei himself spoke: "Sister, cousin Hanxing said that the emperor also wants to go to Qingqing with us......"

Duanmufei originally wanted Duanmujun not to go, but when he saw Duanmujun, he happily stroked his palms and said, "It's just right!" Since the emperor is going, then Cen Gongzi will come and go if he wants to, and it just so happens that I want to ask him for help. ”

Duanmujun plans to ask Cen Yin to help inquire if there is a house for sale near the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, hey, in the blink of an eye, my sister will be thirteen, and she will get married soon. I'm so sad, this dowry hasn't been prepared yet.

Thinking about it, Duanmu frowned slightly, feeling that time was too tight.

Duanmu Fei thought about it, yes, with Cen Gongzi here, the emperor should not be able to do anything.

It's hard to go out, and don't be in a bad mood for irrelevant people.
