Chapter 120: Birthday Party
() The fairy girl smiled slightly, her eyes were also quite yearning, but she shook her head slightly.
Xue Ke had no choice but to use a killer move, and said: "Immortal Gu, do you know, Ren Yao has countless advantages, but he also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, he is very stubborn, no one can persuade him to look back, Immortal Gu, if you don't see him today, he will definitely go to great lengths to come to you again, it is better for Xian Gu to make it clear to him face to face today, so that he can die." Good no good? ”
Seeing that Immortal Gu was half sad and half hesitant, Xue Ke continued: "Immortal Gu, you send me to the peach forest in front of me, and if you say a few words to Ren Yao, he will die, otherwise according to his temper, he will definitely make a fuss." ”
The fairy girl sighed and said, "It's okay." ”
Xue Ke was excited in his heart, jumped up, and couldn't help but smile when he saw the fairy girl glancing at her legs.
When the grandmother outside the door saw Xue Ke walking out, she couldn't help but glance at her, and said worriedly: "Girl, isn't this appropriate?" ”
"It's okay, Mama, I'll come when I go, just let Qing'er follow me."
Xue Ke told Ren Yao's anecdotes all the way, but the fairy aunt was expressionless, but Qing'er on the side couldn't help laughing several times.
"In short, it's not that I'm partial to my best friend, I've never seen anyone better and more interesting than Ren Yao! It is a hundred times stronger than those gentlemen in the capital, the son, and Ren Yao! ”
While speaking, he saw Ren Yao's figure standing under the peach blossoms, handsome, Xue Ke looked at the fairy girl beside him, and said with a smile: "Really, except for you, I don't think anyone is worthy of him." ”
The fairy girl looked at her helplessly. Xue Ke smiled brightly and said, "I'll go over there and see my horse!" Persuade him well. ”
Xue Ke came to the peach forest, and heard a snapping sound, a small fruit smashed on his head, Xue Ke turned his head to see, there were stone tables and chairs placed over there, and there was a person sitting on the stone bench, it was Ah Que.
Xue Ke was happy in his heart, and ran over and said, "Ah Que, why are you here?" ”
Ah Que was playing with the fruit in his hand, and said softly: "Why don't you want me to come, or just want to accompany you to the best and most interesting Ren Yao in the world?" ”
Xue Ke grinned: "You heard it all!" Did I put gold on Ren Yao's face? ”
Ah Que snorted.
Xue Ke was sweet in his heart, and he smiled sweetly: "I'm praising it to the little fairy girl!" If it were you, I wouldn't be willing to boast! ”
Ah Que's face softened, he looked at her helplessly, and said dotingly: "You have no mouth!" Why was he detained at home by Mrs. Xue recently? ”
Xue Ke said with a bitter face: "It's not! I'm going to suffocate me! Good thing you figured out a way to get the word in! You know, my mother's eyes are about to fall off when she sees me writing and ink! ”
Ah Que remembered Xue Ke's unbearable words, and chuckled: "It's a bit far-fetched." ”
"My mother won't let me go out! Because of the queen's birthday, she wants to take me into the palace to congratulate, so I'm afraid that I will get into trouble recently. ”
Xue Ke pouted, pulled a peach blossom, and angrily crushed the petals, making his palms and nails red.
"What congratulatory ceremony has Xue Fu prepared?"
"My mother has been picking for a long time, and she hasn't decided yet! The left is nothing but calligraphy or embroidery! ”
"I've got one for you."
At this time, Xue Kefang noticed an agarwood box on the table next to him, which looked quite valuable.
He opened the box: "The queen mother has always worshiped the Buddha, and this Ebony Guanyin is a birthday gift, I think she will like it." ”
Xue Ke looked at it, subconsciously said "ah", and then stared at Ah Que who seemed to be smiling and looking at him: "It turned out to be you!" ”
The corners of Ah Que's mouth raised slightly: "I still want to thank the girl for her generosity." ”
This Guanyin holds a lotus bottle, steps on the lotus, the treasure is solemn, the expression is compassionate, it is indeed the highest grade. And this piece of ebony is the one that Xue Ke took a fancy to and gave up before!
Xue Ke happily looked at the two rabbits hanging from his waist, and said with annoyance: "I should have thought that it was yours a long time ago!" He smiled and said, "Did you know it was me!" Why didn't you tell me! ”
Ah Que saw her smile, and his heart was inexplicably soft: "This is a coincidence, isn't it?" ”
Xue Ke snorted lightly, and pouted again: "Why do I want to please the queen?" As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but blush a little.
Ah Que glanced at it, and his face turned red suspiciously.
The two looked at each other, but Xue Ke was speechless, and said for a while: "Then send it away, she can't rely on me if she doesn't like it!" ”
Ah Que nodded, and asked again, "What did you just say to Chai Zhenren?" ”
"You said little fairy girl!" Xue Ke shook his head and exclaimed again: "But the fairy girl is real, she really doesn't look like a mortal, have you seen her?" That style, that temperament, really, really indescribable, I was by her side, like a wild girl. ”
The corners of Ah Que's mouth raised slightly: "You only know that you are a wild girl!" ”
Xue Ke snorted: "Hey, you're embarrassed to bully people with more money!" ”
Ah Que said with a serious face: "I really didn't know it was you!" If you know it's you, I definitely don't dare to ask for it, I really can't do this carving in front of the girl. ”
Xue Ke angrily grabbed a handful of peach blossoms that fell from the stone table and waved them at his face.
Ren Yao didn't see anyone come out for a long time, Xue Ke stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and Ah Que said: "The people have long been dispersed, Brother Ren should be gone!" ”
Xue Ke was puzzled: "Won't it?" Which way did Ren Yao go? Why don't you say anything, it took me a long time to let the little fairy girl see him! ”
"Maybe he doesn't want to see you right now." Ah Que has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his ear power is naturally stronger than Xue Ke, and he said euphemistically: "Chai Zhenren has a firm heart, and Brother Ren is afraid that it will be difficult to get his wish." It's better to let him be quiet at this moment. ”
Xue Ke kicked the stones under his feet stupidly, a little sullen.
"Let's go, I'll send you back! Your legs are fine! ”
Xue Ke shook his head. When he came to Baiyun Temple, he and Ren Yao were very excited, and they couldn't help but be a little disappointed at this time.
Ah Que felt that it was expected, but he accompanied her calmly, and the two rode horses and walked slowly to the city.
Ah Que saw that she was depressed, but he deliberately led her to talk more, and persuaded again: "Brother Ren will figure it out!" If the two really have fate, it is something that the gods can't stop, you don't have to worry, besides, your brother Ren will definitely not give up easily! ”
"That's right! I've never seen anyone more stubborn than Ren Yao! Xue Ke thought about what Ren Yao had done before, and told Ah Que funny.
Ah Que looked at Xue Ke half envious and half jealous, but he didn't expect Xue Ke to be so carefree before, and couldn't help but wonder: "I heard that General Xue is quite strict in governing the army, what, what?" ”
Xue Ke laughed: "Do you want to say why Daddy neglected me?" Daddy said that he fought on the battlefield to let his wife and daughter live freely, and Daddy also said that his daughter's family was not so happy when she got married, so let me play to my heart's content, what is there to do with him! ”
Ah Que looked at Xue Ke's smile, smiled unconsciously, turned his face sank again, and said tentatively: "Then can your father let you marry into a family with big rules?" ”
Xue Ke said proudly: "I can marry whoever I want, my father will definitely follow me!" ”
"Then are you willing to marry into a family with big rules?"
Xue Ke secretly pursed his lips and smiled, glanced at Ah Que, and said confidently: "It depends on whether I like it or not, if I like it, I am willing to enter the most bureaucratic palace in the world, if I don't like it, I am not willing to open the door and build a mansion for me alone!" ”
Xue Ke has always had a hearty temperament, and she does not have the shyness of an ordinary daughter's family, she is generous and very natural when she says it. Ah Que looked at her radiant expression and couldn't help but feel relaxed.
"By the way, Ah Que, do you want to enter the palace on the queen's birthday?"
"That's nature." Ah Que paused: "But I'm afraid I can't see you." ”
Xue Ke nodded: "Of course, how can it be convenient for you on the female side?" I heard that the three princes in the palace are very arrogant, and you should avoid it when you arrive! ”
Ah Que's rare face darkened: "Who did you listen to?" How did I hear that the third prince was elegant and easy-going, and knew how to be polite? ”
Xue Ke pouted disapprenously: "That's all for outsiders to see!" ”
Ah Que was a little depressed, but asked the question he had been trying to ask before: "How did Brother Ren find out that I am the sixth young master of the Marquis of Zhongshun's Mansion?" ”
Xue Ke said triumphantly: "Do you know the secret help?" Ren Yao is the young gang leader, and there is no better information in the capital than him! I asked him to help me find the best-looking little prince of the Hou Mansion of Zhongshun, and he got all the information of the little prince of your Hou Mansion the next day! ”
Xue Ke thought about the matter of the little fairy girl, what was Ah Que's news, and felt that the words just now were a bit full, and added: "Of course, Ah Que, you are also super powerful!" ”
Ah Que couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he couldn't help muttering: "Ah Ke, you are too easily confused by hue." I also have a younger brother, that's really good-looking, so what should I do according to your temperament? ”
When Xue Ke heard him, he was even more interested: "Really? Better looking than you? Then next time you take him out, I'll help you compare. ”
Ah Que kept a straight face and ignored her.
Sure enough, Xue Ke returned home, and the Rosewood Guanyin had already been delivered. Mrs. Xue looked at it and praised it, but she was a little hesitant about Xue Ke's proposal to give it to the queen as a congratulatory ceremony: "Your father has a mediocre relationship with Kunning Palace, isn't it a bit too outstanding for us to give such a valuable gift?" ”
"Daddy has been fighting for a long time, the court has a lot of weapons, and the festivals are constantly rewarding every year, and the precious ones sent by our Xue Mansion are reflecting the mutual benefit of the monarch and the minister, what's wrong? What's more, everyone knows that Daddy is not in Beijing at the moment, and the mother's move is a piece of loyalty, and it is also to earn a decent job for Daddy, where can I suspect other aspects? ”
Mrs. Xue nodded and said, "What you said is not unreasonable. It's just that you never worry about these people's sophistication, why did you get to the heart this time? ”
Xue Ke twisted the candy and pestered him: "Mother, don't I feel sorry for you?" is busy with Aunt Fang's stomach every day, and she is still in charge of such a big family! I'm wandering around every day anyway, and when I see the right one, I'll decide! ”
Mrs. Xue couldn't be entangled by her, nodded her head and said, "You will coax me!" Go back and get the money in your account! ”
Xue Ke because of Ah Que's thoughts, but he attached great importance to entering the palace this time, and couldn't help but feel a sense of apprehension to see the elders, half surprised and half shy, it was rare to be quiet in Xue Mansion for a few days, carefully inquired about the queen's heart and hobbies, and pondered the dress of the day, striving to be both dignified and virtuous and look bright in the crowd of ladies.
The queen is the mother of the country, and naturally she prefers generous and noble women, Xue Ke deliberately chose a azure embroidered skirt with a lotus pattern, with a pale pink shawl, Mrs. Xue nodded rarely.
Xue Ke knew that her mother was known for her good taste, and she recognized that she must have passed the test.
Mrs. Xue instructed the maid again: "Go and bring my silk jade, which is the hairpin that carved the lotus flower, but it is just right with this dress." ”
After the maid took it, she put it on carefully for Xue Ke, and said with a smile: "Madame is really good eyesight, Miss must be the best-looking girl of the day!" ”
Mrs. Xue smiled: "Nonsense! How many princesses are in the palace, and how many Miss Houmen! But, Tangtang, you can ask Sven to sit for me for a day, and don't go wrong again. ”
Xue Ke turned around in the mirror, she rarely wore such a delicate look, but it was also fresh, and she was looking forward to letting Ah Que see it that day, startling him, and couldn't help but say angrily when she heard the words: "Mother, I go out with you, but it's all in order!" Besides, I may pretend, don't I just see less and talk less? Don't worry, this time I promise to give you a long face! ”
When Xue Ke said this, he probably didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion on the queen's birthday.
On that day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the spring was bright. The female relatives of the high-grade families in the capital are all dressed according to the grade on the fifth watch, and when they stay outside the palace wall, they see a piece of black pressure, but they are silent.
The well-trained little eunuchs were introduced into the Forbidden City in groups, and everyone was silent and held their breath, only hearing the friction of the corners of their clothes.
After several visits, Xue Ke sat down in the designated position with Mrs. Xue.
The queen sat on it from a distance, and she couldn't see her true face clearly, but Xue Ke wanted to look at Ah Que's aunt carefully for the first time.
This closer look found that Ah Que's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to her aunt, her eyes are narrow and long, the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, and when she doesn't smile, she has a kind of affection that rejects people thousands of miles away.
Xue Ke thought about Ah Que, and his heart was slightly sweet.
The queen seemed to be playing a game of chess calmly, seemingly casually asking the ladies in the palace, and the hall was full of laughter, but no one dared to really relax, and they all worked hard to figure out the meaning and attitude of the queen's question.
The queen asked the old lady of Yang Xiangfu's body, praised a few words, and asked, "How is Mrs. Xue lately?" I heard that General Xue is about to return to the court, congratulations! ”
Mrs. Xue hurriedly took Xue Ke to get up and replied: "Thank you Niangniang for your concern, the general's affairs, the concubine's body is not clear, and the mother is blessed!" ”
The queen had seen Xue Mansion's gift list this year, and she was quite surprised, and she wasn't sure whether Xue Mansion intended to make friends or something else, so she smiled and said: "Miss Xue also came over today, come, come forward and let the palace take a look, last time I saw it was a little girl!" ”
Xue Ke was waiting for this sentence in his heart, thinking that it was not in vain to practice sitting and practicing etiquette at home during this time, so he stepped forward and bowed to the ground: "The courtiers participate in the queen's mother, congratulations to the mother and the phoenix are healthy!" ”
The queen called out, took a closer look, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she didn't expect the Xue family girl to be born so standard, and from the perspective of body shape and etiquette, she was also generous, and she couldn't make mistakes, but it was rumored that she was a little unbelievable when she was reckless.
