After the wedding feast was set, two hours were dispersed.

Nangong Yingyue took the old lady of the Yan family, Dongfang Yin's wife, and the old lady of Nangong to wipe out the cards on the couch in the small hall.

"Don't surround us with a few old immortals, where are you going, Qin'er!" Nangong Yingyue touched the cards while instructing the princess and the eldest princess not to stay here.

"Aunt Wang, even if you don't bombard us and leave, we still have to leave, and there is still one in the new house, we want to go and see the excitement!" The eldest princess Chu Qin said with a smile.

"Chu Han, you go with us, let's go!" The princess gave Chu Han a look, and apologized to several old ladies, and then went out with the eldest princess and Chu Han.

The young ladies gossip with each other, and what they said was nothing more than some clothes and hairpins.

Chu Mo surrounded Mrs. Nangong in front of and behind him, and the intention of flattering was very obvious.

Mrs. Nangong was always arrogant, she knew what Chu Mo had in mind; Although she was born in King Jing's Mansion, she is always a concubine. Her Nangong family is a famous weapon master of the former emperor, and she controls the weapons construction of the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and Yin'er is the eldest son and grandson, and a concubine is not a good match.

Chu Ling saw Chu Mo's appearance, and he puffed out his mouth angrily and glared angrily.

"Grandma, I'll take Yan'er and Xuechu to walk around the garden!" Chu Ling hugged Nangong Yingyue's neck and was coquettish, and her voice was sweet.

Nangong Yingyue looked doting, "Little Ancestor, let go of your hands, go and go, you hurry up and go farther, don't come to toss my old bones!" ”

Several old ladies also laughed and scolded, "If you want to go shopping, you will take a few young ladies with you, so as to save yourself boredom here, many people in our garden are still the first to come back!" Nangong Yingyue shouted to the three people who were about to walk out.

Even if Chu Ling was unwilling, he couldn't lose his identity, and said with a smile, "If you young ladies don't dislike the dilapidated and dilapidated Jingwang Mansion, what if you don't care about it?" ”

Chu Ling is the only concubine of the prince Chu Chi, the emperor personally named the lord of Ling, except for Mu Qingyan and Yan Xuechu teasing her from time to time, which of these official ladies dares to say half a word?

The maids all wore cold-proof cloaks, and a group of more than a dozen people walked out of the courtyard of Nangong Yingyue, and walked into the garden while enjoying the autumn scenery.

"The chrysanthemums are blooming just right, let's go to the chrysanthemum over there to take a look first!" Chu Ling held Yan Xuechu's arm, tilted his head sideways and talked to Mu Qingyan.

Walking along the cobblestone three-foot path to the chrysanthemum garden, facing a lake with a wide water surface, the boats on the lake have collected only the remnants of the lotus Lingfeng; There are some maple trees planted along the shore, and the half-red and half-yellow leaves are waving in the wind.

Walk further west along the lake to a moon gate at the end of the road, everyone stopped, and there were two seal characters written on the moon door: Juxuan.

Chu Ling went first, "At the beginning of the year, Juxuan was renovated and planted a little later, so that this year's chrysanthemums bloomed a few days late. ”

After entering the door, the path is divided into two, the left side is paved with blue bricks straight and wide, the right side is a semicircle connected with a semicircle, paved with rain flower stones, and there is a pond of chrysanthemums planted in the semicircle, which is the best path to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

The main road on the left is densely populated with flowers, and most people are attracted as soon as they enter the door.

Mu Qingyan turned to the right path, and within the first semicircle was a pool of Yaotai jade phoenixes, snow-white flowers, layers of petals clustered in the middle, and the dark green leaves set off its extraordinary appearance, each branch was like a fairy in white proudly independent, even if she had the heart to pick and insert the bottle, she couldn't let it fall into the mortal dust, like Shen Luochen in her heart.

was stunned for a moment, until Yan Xuechu pulled her, and then walked forward again.

The purple dragon lying snow blooms very well, the heart of the flower is red and purple, but the petals are golden again.

Next to it is a pool of green water; In the past, it is dotted with red lips, lion rolling hydrangea, jade bead curtain, Erqiao, pink sunflower, golden queen, ink peony, rouge and snow...... There are countless places as far as the eye can see, one bush after another, one next to the other. Although there are no summer flowers, they are better than thick and dignified, and they are proud and independent in the cold.

There is a huge warm pavilion in the middle of the garden, and a plaque is hung on it, and the book: Evening Fragrance Pavilion. After everyone entered the garden, they prepared hot tea to eat, and the ladies on the main road on the left went to the evening incense pavilion to drink tea and gossip.

Among the few people who walked the trail, in addition to Chu Ling, Yan Xuechu and Mu Qingyan, there were also the eldest lady of the Qing Yuan family of Dali Temple, the eldest granddaughter of the university scholar, the daughter of Lou He of the Ministry of Rites and Dongfang Fengyue.

As soon as a few people walked to the evening fragrance pavilion, someone from the garden came again.

Unlike the ladies of all families, these people came in with laughter. On the main road on the left, the one who walked in red at the forefront was Chu Jin, who had already entered the cave room! Walking side by side beside him is Chu Li, the sixth prince who has the most sacred heart today.

At this time, Chu Li was putting one hand on Chu Jin's shoulder, smiling narrowly; I didn't really hear what I said, but I saw that it made Chu Jin angry.

Xiang Tianqi, Lou Yifan, Qiu Zhixiao and Tang Yong are all among the crowd, and Nangong Yin and Nangong Hao are naturally among them.

Chu Ling watched from a distance and ran over.

"Brother Jin, why are you here? Brother Li, are you messing around too? Chu Ling sneered at the two.

The sons who followed the two of them instantly burst into laughter when they heard Chu Ling's words.

Chu Ling frowned and looked at everyone suspiciously.

"You play your go, don't take care of me!" Chu Jin was in a bad mood, so he was naturally not angry when he spoke.

The crowd laughed again.

Chu Li withdrew his arm, glanced up at the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, and looked at Chu Ling with a smile for a moment, "Ling'er, how about borrowing your pavilion to ask for a cup of chrysanthemum tea?" ”

Chu Ling was a little furious by his laughter, and glanced at the Evening Fragrance Pavilion along Chu Li's line of sight, and said with a slight hesitation: "Okay, yes, it's just that all the famous ladies in Beijing are inside, I'm afraid it's inconvenient!" ”

"It's okay, with the sixth brother here, I'm not afraid to gossip during the day." Chu Li meant something.

Chu Ling thought about it again, "Then I'll discuss it with the young ladies of the family, sixth brother, you wait here!" After speaking, he trotted into the pavilion and told everyone the words of the six princes.

And there was no objection.

Mu Qingyan and a few people were still standing outside the pavilion and had not entered, and someone came behind them.

Dongfang Fengjue and Mu Qinghan whispered in front of them, followed by Ye Heng, Jing Liang and Qin Yan at the end, no one spoke, and their eyes just went to look at the chrysanthemums that were blooming just right.

The people on both sides of the road all came to stop in front of the evening incense pavilion.

Mu Qingyan's eyes floated away from the evening fragrance pavilion to the lake, but when he saw the maple trees and flowers, the cloister hugging the building, all purple and red, and the festive red silk blended together, he couldn't tell whose color was better.

Nangong Yin couldn't control his steps, and walked a few steps closer to Mu Qingyan past everyone.

"Smoke!" The whisper whispered.

Mu Qingyan instantly collected all the emotions in his eyes, turned around and smiled solemnly, "Young Master Nangong is fine!" He didn't care about Nangong Yin's face being pale in an instant, and he grabbed his cloak tightly, his face full of sadness.

Qin Yan had already seen her dressed in purple, but as if she had never seen it, she deliberately ignored the agitation in her heart. Pursing her thin lips, watching her smile shyly at Nangong Yin, the color on her face was three points colder.

"Yan'er, Yan'er......" Nangong Yin called in a hoarse voice that was almost desperate.

"Cousin Yin, you're here too?" Chu Mo had already seen Nangong Yin and resisted the urge to approach him. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, he ran to Mu Qingyan and ruined her with his ex.

"Cousin Mo'er!" Nangong Yin politely took two steps back and kept a polite distance from Chu Mo.

There seemed to be a flame rising in Chu Mo's eyes, and he secretly gritted his teeth and resented Mu Qingyan: The marriage contract has been withdrawn and she is still so shameless, why can she occupy Cousin Yin's heart, damn slut.

The episode here ended in the silent flames of war, Mu Qingyan pretended not to know that Chu Mo was angry, and followed everyone's footsteps into the Evening Fragrance Pavilion.

There are already maids ready to put down the freshly dried chrysanthemums, brewed with boiling water, and after a while, the huge evening incense pavilion is filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, which responds to the charm of the name of this pavilion.

Mu Qingyan stood at the window by the east, looking at the chrysanthemums in the garden in a daze.

Since she appeared, Nangong Yinyanqing couldn't see anything anymore, and her every move restrained his sight, and he couldn't leave it for a moment.

Qin Yan was depressed in his heart, and the way Nangong Yin looked at her made him almost want to be angry. I can always see her when I look up inadvertently, and I can see her even though she is far away.

She is obviously not that person, why does she feel so familiar, so familiar that her heart is on fire......

Dongfang Fengjue couldn't accept it with admiration in his eyes, Mu Qinghan looked at it quietly, but he didn't break it.

"Today's such a beautiful scene is really rare, how about we use chrysanthemums as the theme of the poem?" Chu Li patted Chu Jin on the shoulder, "You come to the beginning, you are the biggest today!" ”

"I'll come, I'll come, what word rhyme?" Chu Jin did not shirk, and should be taken as a matter of course.

Lou Yifan was conceited and had a little talent, so he answered: "Today is the wedding of King Xiaojing, how about rhyming with the word Xi?" ”

Xiang Tianqi stood up and didn't follow: "You are embarrassed by this, I am a person who practices martial arts, am I cheeky or you are not authentic, huh?" ”

"Haha, you can have wine, poetry and books are like ducks listening to thunder to you, don't continue!" Nangong Hao laughed at him mercilessly.

Xiang Tianqi snorted coldly and ignored him, "King Xiaojing, the wine of Qingzhen is called to an altar, how can there be no wine if there is poetry?" ”

"Do you really think that Qingqi Winery is the property of your Deceptive Dart Bureau, and you can have as much as you want?" Qiu Zhixiao coldly reprimanded him, "Even if you have a lot of money, you have to make wine from Qingjing Winery." It is said that this year's wine has been sold out, and all families have to use wine during the New Year's Festival, I went there a month ago, and it is long gone! ”

"Qingqing Winery has only been around for three years, when did it become a thing that the nobles of the capital competed for? They all drank the same before, is there no other home? Chu Li asked suspiciously.

Jing Liang met his eyes, and said lightly, "Yes, yes, but the tribute paid in the palace in previous years was a very small and extremely fine part of each winery, and it was only three or five hundred altars, and the rest was a layer of difference among our tongues; Even if the rich have money, they will be one layer worse than us. Since the Qingyu Winery wine came out, the fragrance of ten miles of wine reverberated in the street, and people who love wine and good wine have been intoxicated by the smell, and they have to drink two cups without eating. ”

"The rumored peach blossom drunk is from Qingjing Winery?" Chu Li asked again.

"Exactly!"

"No wonder, the winemaker who wants to come to this Qingjing winery must be extraordinary!" Chu Li muttered to herself.

They talked about wine here and disturbed the poetry, and there Mu Qingyan and a few people drank chrysanthemum tea and admired the chrysanthemums outside the window. While enjoying himself, one of the small servants waiting outside the pavilion secretly made two gestures, and then quietly left.

Mu Qingyan hid the look in his eyes, "Ling'er, when I came, I saw that the lotus leaves all over the lake had been adjusted to zero, and there were fish under the cloister?" ”

"Smoke, are you going to feed the fish? I'll ask someone to find you some steamed buns! Chu Ling turned around and called Shuang'er to prepare, and suddenly remembered that she still had palpitations when she fell into the water last time, and couldn't help but say two more words: "If you want to go for a walk, just don't go too far, the water is very deep!" ”

Mu Qingyan said with a smile, "You really can't drown me, but I'm still afraid!" As he spoke, he got up, walked out of the evening fragrance pavilion behind everyone, went out through a moon gate near the lake in the pavilion, and walked slowly to the corridor by the lake.

Chu Mo left for a while for some reason, and when he went and returned, he saw Mu Qingyan followed by a maid in the palace out of Juxuan and was walking towards the lake.
