She glared angrily at Yan Xiaoyi, who was standing aside: "Hey, why are you standing stupidly, why don't you teach this person a good lesson for His Highness!" ”

It was the first time the two had met since they were kidnapped by the Japanese people. When she was in the palace just now, there were many people at the banquet, and Yan Xiaowei only saw her surrounded by everyone from a distance, so she didn't come forward to speak because she was not familiar. At this time, the person who was supposed to stay in the palace suddenly appeared in front of him, which was not a small surprise.

Yan Xiaowei glanced at the keel silently, moved her gaze to Princess Ruixiang, and frowned: "Your Royal Highness Princess, why are you in our Yan Mansion?" ”

Princess Ruixiang looked embarrassed and obviously panicked, but she quickly calmed down and raised her head high: "Why, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" The whole world belongs to our Baili family, what's wrong with this palace coming to your house? ”

Yan Xiaowei didn't expect her to be so unreasonable, she was speechless for a while, pursed the corners of her lips and looked around her twice: "Just princess, yourself?" Can you bring someone with you? ”

Princess Ruixiang frowned, her hands hanging on her sides moved obviously uneasily, and she said with a stalk around her neck: "What if you bring someone, what if you don't bring someone?" Are you going to get this princess out? ”

Seeing her panicked, Yan Xiaoyi's heart sank. The dignified princess went out, and she had to follow a few eunuch palace daughters around her, but she was the only one at this time, and she appeared in the Yan Mansion in such a grand manner, no matter how she looked at it, she felt strange, and her panicked movements showed the unusual nature of this matter.

Yan Xiaoyan pursed the corners of her lips: "I'm very glad that Her Royal Highness the Princess can come to our Yan Mansion as a guest, but I don't know that the master will trespass into the mansion without permission, I'm afraid it's not very polite!" Moreover, princess, you deigned to come to our mansion, and there was no one around to serve you, which really made the courtiers panic! ”

Her eyes moved, and she asked Princess Ruixiang word by word, "You didn't sneak out of the palace, did you?" ”

Princess Ruixiang hurriedly waved her hand: "No, someone sent me over, but I thought they were in the way, so let them wait outside the Yan Mansion!" ”

Seeing her flickering expression, Yan Xiaowei felt more and more that her words were not credible, and her face remained unchanged and continued to ask: "Oh? In that case, what have you been sneaking after the courtiers, princess? Why not show up in the open? ”

Princess Ruixiang choked a little when she asked, and her eyes turned and she lost her temper: "Why do you talk so ugly, what is sneaky!" This princess was born in gold and jade leaves, can she still go to your house to do bad things and steal things? ”

Yan Xiaowei shook her head: "The courtiers didn't think so, the courtiers were just worried, now it's getting late, and it's snowing, in case you suffer from the wind cold or something goes wrong on the way back and forth, the courtiers can't take care of it." As she spoke, she waved her hand to the dragon bones who had always stood aside: "Brother dragon bones, please send someone to tell the palace, just say that the snow road is slippery, let them send a few more people to pick up the princess back in a while!" ”

The dragon bone agreed, turned around and was about to leave, Princess Ruixiang on the side hurriedly trotted two steps to the dragon bone, stretched out two hands to block in front of him: "Don't go, no one is allowed to go to the palace!" ”

Yan Xiaowei blinked: "Princess, don't be stubborn, it takes half an hour for the palace to go back and forth from Yan's mansion, and there are still many slopes on the road, and it is even more dangerous when it snows, and the courtiers are also worried about your safety, so don't stop it!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the keel. As soon as the keel moved, Princess Ruixiang panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and said anxiously: "Don't send someone to the palace, my father and mother don't know that I came here!" If you go and deliver the letter, I'm done!" ”

The conjecture was confirmed, Yan Xiaowei not only did not relax but became more worried, she couldn't help frowning and taking a step forward and holding Princess Ruixiang's hand: "What? Did you really sneak out of the palace? She looked Princess Ruixiang up and down, and couldn't help asking, "The palace is so far from Yan's mansion, how did you find it alone?" ”

Princess Ruixiang was startled by her unconsciously raised voice, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and looked around vigilantly: "You be quiet, and the other people in the house have heard it!" ”

Seeing Yan Xiaoyi struggling, she put her hand down, rubbed it on the placket, and said uncomfortably in a very small voice: "When the palace banquet was almost halfway through, I took leave with my mother, saying that I was tired and wanted to go back to Lingyun Pavilion to rest. After the concubine agreed, I got rid of the palace daughter, changed clothes in a side hall, and left the palace in disguise. It just so happened that the carriage of your house was parked at the gate of the palace, and I secretly listened to the conversation between your coachman and the coachman of the Mei Hanlin family, and immediately got into the carriage while he was not paying attention, and hid under the seat. ”

When Yan Xiaowei heard this, she couldn't help but feel furious in her heart, it turned out that she had been hiding in the car, if something happened on the road at that time, the people of the Yan family would not be enough to cut off each person with two heads!

She asked with a serious expression, "Then how did you come in after you arrived at the Yan Mansion?" Isn't there a porter at the door of our house, didn't they see such a big living person as you? ”

Princess Ruixiang couldn't help but flatten her mouth: "You think I'm stupid, someone is guarding the door and I'm still swaggering, isn't that obviously being discovered?" I slipped out of the carriage while the coachman was not looking, and climbed in through the wall in the southwest corner of your house. ”

As he was talking, suddenly the north wind blew, and the branches rustled, and there was a "creaking" footsteps!

Princess Ruixiang was excited, secretly screamed a trough cake, and instructed Sheng Yan Xiaoyu: "It seems that someone is coming, I'll hide it first!" Whoever it is, don't mention me! ”

Without waiting for Yan Xiaowei to react, he raised his feet and hid in the dense bushes on the side. Snow fell on the bushes, but her figure was well hidden.

Yan Xiaowei looked at the obvious rows of footprints in different directions on the snow, and hurriedly walked over and covered the traces left by Princess Ruixiang on the snow with her feet.

After only two rubs, a tall figure came out of the moon gate in the house.

Yan Xiaoyi's heart was beating straight, because this person was none other than Yan's father, Yan Haisheng!

Father Yan was also stunned when he saw her, his eyes slid down on the keel, and finally fell on her face again, frowning: "On this snowy day, why are you not going back to Mufeng Courtyard here?" ”

Yan Xiaoyi moved her steps without a trace to block in front of Yan's father, raised her foot and gently crushed Princess Ruixiang's footsteps a few times, and smiled to hide: "I ate too much in the palace, and I feel uncomfortable at this time, so I took Yaxiang and them for a walk outside to eliminate food." ”

Father Yan frowned lightly, with concern on his face: "What, is the food accumulation serious?" Do you want Dr. Song to come and have a look? ”

Yan Xiaoyan hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, it's not that serious." She was a little weak by Father Yan's eyes, and couldn't help but raise her hand to brush the hair on her cheeks behind her ears, and changed the topic: "Dad, why did you come back so soon, didn't you say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to do with you?" ”

Father Yan nodded: "It's not a big deal, I only chatted a little and came back." Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Rong Xiu has been gone for so long, has he sent you a letter?" ”

Yan Xiaoyan didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to this aspect, and her mind wandered with his words while she was surprised. Rong Xiu has been gone for so long, and he has never sent a letter to himself, not even a message! Yan Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart, this person kept saying that he liked himself before, but as soon as he went out, he forgot about himself, he was really angry and annoyed! However, after thinking about it, I thought that Rong Xiu's usual temperament might be too busy, so he didn't have contact, and I couldn't help but worry about him again.

After thinking about it a thousand times, he shook his head at Father Yan, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth: "I haven't been in touch, maybe I'm busy!" Dad, why did you suddenly ask about him, could it be that something couldn't happen? ”

Father Yan shook his head and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just curious about how the two of you get along." You young people have an uncertain mind, and I am worried that if you do not see each other for a long time, there will be some contradictions. ”

Yan Xiaowei listened to his words, and her heart suddenly rose up and down. When Rong Xiu just left, she really didn't feel much missing. However, after a long time, I always feel that there is nothing empty around me, even if there is Yaxiang around them, I still feel like something is missing. It wasn't until one night that she dreamed of Rong Xiu, and when she woke up, she found that she was shrouded in darkness, and then she realized that the inexhaustible emptiness was originally brought to her by Rong Xiu!

These days, Yan Xiaowei has also explicitly and implicitly asked whether the dragon bone has any connection with Rong Xiu or the Rong family, and the dragon bone always said that he is now affiliated with her, and he is no longer a member of the Rong family, so he is not very clear.

Yan Xiaowei was worried and wanted to write a letter to Rong Xiu, but when she really picked up the pen and felt that it was too hypocritical to really write down what she wanted on paper. Thinking of the letter she was writing now, maybe when it would reach Rong Xiu's hands, she was suddenly a little discouraged. In this way, several times, the matter of writing letters was also put on hold.

Now when I hear Father Yan's words, I can't tell what it feels like.

Seeing that her face was not good, Father Yan sighed deeply: "Hey, this girl, although she has to be reserved, she can't be pushed away like a wooden stake." Now that you have married Rong, although you need to avoid suspicion, it is still okay to exchange letters in ordinary times. Don't just be awkward and let others take advantage of the loopholes. Rong Xiu's child has a good net worth, and his own conditions are also one of the best characters in our hundred miles. You have to take care of it, don't get married yet, first carry a little aunt and grandmother into the General's Mansion! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's heart was originally because Rong Xiu had not been in contact for a few months, but when she heard Yan's father's words, it was more like throwing a thunderbolt on the ground, and the entire heart lake was about to be blown out of a big hole! Although she knew that Rong Xiu might not be that kind of person, a man was a man after all, and this was ancient times, so it was okay to have three wives and four concubines. If there is really a woman who flatters in every way, no matter how good Rong Xiu's concentration is, I am afraid it will be very dangerous!

Because, after all, it is impossible for every man to be Megumi Yanagishita!

Yan Xiaowei bit her lip and said to Father Yan: "Dad, don't worry, I will write a letter to send him when I return to Mufeng Courtyard in a while!" ”

Father Yan saw that she listened to her words, and didn't say much, he stretched out his hand and patted her on the head: "You are my daughter, you have grown up to such a big age, I owe you a lot, and there are not many opportunities to repay them one by one, so I very much hope that you can have a good home." There is a future Lang Jun for me to make up for the love you failed to feel in the past, even if my father is dead, I can close my eyes! ”

Yan Xiaowei knew that since the Liu incident, he had been extremely negative about everything, and he couldn't help but have hot eyes, and opened his mouth to refute: "Dad, what are you talking about!" What doesn't die! Xiao Wei has no mother, only you have a relative, you have to live well! ”

Father Yan's eyes were hot, and he quickly tilted his head, raised his eyes to look at the gray sky and sighed softly: "Okay, Dad knows." It's not early, you can go back to the courtyard after you take a walk, it's windy in the house, don't suffer the cold. ”

As he spoke, he walked down the path in the woods.

Yan Xiaowei looked at Yan's father's back, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Suddenly, someone slapped him on the back, and when he looked back, it was Princess Ruixiang who flashed out again.

Seeing that Yan Xiaowei's eyes were red, she couldn't help but stare at her eyes tightly, and asked softly, "Hey, are you crying?" ”

Yan Xiaowei shook her head, blinked a few times quickly, frowned and said, "What is the matter with Her Royal Highness the Princess coming to our Yan Mansion?" ”

Seeing that Princess Ruixiang's eyes rolled, as if she was playing some ghost idea, she added another sentence unhurriedly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you must tell the truth, otherwise I will immediately send someone to the palace to tell the emperor, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess ran out of the palace without permission and is now at our house!" ”

Princess Ruixiang hurriedly walked up and covered her mouth with her hand: "No, you must not say it!" Otherwise, my father and mother will definitely lock me up if they find out! ”

Yan Xiaoyan struggled to take her hand down, and looked at her with a straight eyebrow: "Do you say it or not?" ”

Princess Ruixiang saw that her face was serious, and she was really angry, so she couldn't help but open her mouth and pull her hand: "Okay, Yan Xiaoyi, I said, I said it's not okay?" ”

"But", she looked around vigilantly, bit her lip and said, "There are people coming and going here, it's really not a place to talk, can you take me back to your house and say?" ”

Seeing Yan Xiaowei staring at her motionlessly, she couldn't help but raise her hand and pretend to touch herself, and raised her hand to her mouth and sighed, her mouth seemed to be complaining: "Is your Yan Mansion a short wall, there is wind everywhere in this courtyard, and the princess has frozen to death!" If this princess suffers from the cold......"

Before she finished speaking, Yan Xiaoyan sighed heavily, looked at her deeply, and turned around helplessly and beckoned to her: "Let's go, follow me back to the house!" ”

Princess Ruixiang's heart was relieved, and she hurriedly raised her feet to follow her steps.

Because she was afraid of meeting the maid in the house, Yan Xiaowei took her to dodge all the way, and finally arrived at Mufeng Courtyard.

As soon as Princess Ruixiang entered the Mufeng Courtyard, she walked around the house by herself like a master.

Yan Xiaoyan sat on the chair, raised her eyes to look at her, and pursed the corners of her mouth: "There is no one around now, you can say it, why did you come to Yan's Mansion?" ”

Princess Ruixiang suddenly reached out and touched her throat, and asked Yaxiang who was guarding the side, "Is there any tea?" I've been dying of thirst for so long! ”

Ya Xiang glanced at Yan Xiaoyi, and hurriedly said respectfully to Princess Ruixiang: "Yes, you wait for me to make tea for you right away!" ”

As she spoke, she lifted the teapot on the table and walked out, and when she came back, the spout was steaming hot, exuding a faint fragrance of tea.

Princess Ruixiang stretched out her hand to lift the tea cup on the table, and let Yaxiang pour tea for her. However, the person who even claimed to be thirsty just now only took a sip and then wrinkled his eyebrows, with a sense of superiority that had been pampered since childhood: "Your father, as Mrs. Yan, doesn't have a lot of money every year, why is he still so picky!" Look at what kind of tea this is, it's hard to drink, it's like a broken leaf picked up on the ground! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face sank, she reached out and snatched the tea cup in her hand, and her tone was light: "Yan's mansion is not as good as the palace, the tea is bought in the shop, and it is not as good as the best tea directly supplied in the palace, if you don't like to drink, you can go back to the palace now!" I'll send you back right away!" ”

Princess Ruixiang hurriedly got up and grabbed her hand: "Okay, okay, don't be angry!" That's what I said! ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Yan Xiaoyi, and bit her lip: "I'll tell you the truth, I sneaked out of the palace this time to discuss things with you!" You also know that I like Qingbai, but he went to the bagpipe yuan with your family Rongxiu, and there has been no news for several months. ”

As she spoke, her eyes blinked, and at some point the circles under her eyes turned red, and there was a bag of tears in her eyes, as if the tears would fall down if she blinked her eyes slightly. spoke in a thick nasal voice: "Although Qingbai was in the capital, I didn't see him every day. However, when he occasionally entered the palace with General Rong, I could still secretly wait on their way and meet them quietly. However, this time it's good, I've been gone for so long, and there is no news at all, so people really miss him! ”

Her eyes blinked, and she couldn't hold back her tears but still fell: "Originally, I wanted to come over and ask you, whether Rong Xiu had contacted you, what he said, and whether he mentioned Qingbai." However, I just heard you talking to Mrs. Yan, and it turns out that you don't have any news from them! How can these two people be like this, forget about the two of us as soon as they leave, and don't consider other people's feelings at all! ”

Yan Xiaowei stretched out her hand and handed her the handkerchief to wipe her tears, but her brows frowned: "Just because of this, you sneaked out of the palace, do you know, the princess suddenly disappeared is a big deal!" In case the emperor and the queen mother know, how will you deal with the aftermath? It's not just me, I'm afraid that the daughter of Xiaogong next to you will be affected! ”
