Xiao Yuanji glanced at the window. There was a silhouette of a woman in the window, with a beautiful silhouette, her face facing him.

At a certain moment, a trace of trance flashed in Xiao Yuanji's eyes.

But soon the trance was overwhelmed by anger. He walked to the door, and when he saw Mingzhu, he sneered: "It's you again?" Don't use the rules in your palace to pressure Ben Hou, she is now in my Hou Mansion, she is Ben Hou's wife, so she has to abide by the rules of my Hou Mansion! Let's go! ”

Mingzhu didn't let his teeth go at all: "Master Hou is angry." Although the princess has declined, in the end, it is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the identity of the princess is still pressed on the identity of Mrs. Hou. Don't forget, Master Hou, you also have a double identity as a colt. ”

What is a colt? In front of the princess, the princess is respected, and the horse is humble.

"!" Xiao Yuanji's eyes widened suddenly, and there were cracked red bloodshots in his eyes, and he looked extremely terrifying. He kicked at Mingzhu, but fortunately Mingzhu was quick to dodge.

"Does Master Hou want to resist the decree!" Mingzhu glared at him, "The holy decree is in the house, do you need the slave to read it to the Hou Ye again!" ”

In the past, every time the dispute came to this point, Xiao Yuanji would back down and leave with hatred.

But not today.

Xiao Yuanji looked up to the sky and laughed twice, with a strange and mocking expression: "If you have the ability, you will come to cure the crime of Benhou." ”

He grabbed Mingzhu's shoulder and pulled her aside, Mingzhu turned over with a hand knife and slashed at the back of Xiao Yuanji's neck, Xiao Yuanji hurriedly protected his neck and looked at Mingzhu in disbelief.

Mingzhu looked indifferent.

As a servant, she should not have made a move against her master, but out of the position of protecting the princess, she can be an enemy of anyone.

Xiao Yuanji pointed at Mingzhu and sneered, turned around angrily and walked into the garden, pulled out the sword at his waist and waved it at the peach blossom tree, and laughed wildly: "Ruan Yu! If you don't come out, I'll destroy your tree!" I can't move your people, can't I move these trees! ”

His grip on the sword was unsteady, and he panted for breath after a few movements, but the branches were fragile and fragile, and many of them were broken in bits and pieces.

Flower petals flying.

When Ruan Yu came out of the house, Xiao Yuanji was plunging his sword into the dirt and panting.

Mingzhu stood behind Ruan Yu and rolled her eyes.

A big man, imaginary like this.

Ruan Yu looked at the stumps of peach blossoms all over the ground, her face sank, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Xiao Yuanji, what are you crazy about?" ”

Xiao Yuanji threw his sword on the ground, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked towards her, but was stopped by Mingzhu five steps away.

"Do you know where I went today?" Xiao Yuanji asked.

"I don't know." The response of the other party was very cold.

Xiao Yuanji's smile disappeared instantly, and he said expressionlessly: "Xiliang Hou Mansion." ”

Ruan Yu looked at him quietly.

"He has such a big show, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and to crown the Taifu. He invited me and several other adults to the mansion for a drink, and guess what he said to me? The weird smile on the corner of Xiao Yuanji's mouth resurfaced.

Ruan Yu's face was expressionless.

"He said that he wanted me to take my wife to his house for a banquet tomorrow." Xiao Yuanji paused and asked mockingly, "Madam, what do you think?" ”

Ruan Yu looked at him for a moment and refused indifferently: "Xie Xi Lianghou is kind." I've been bedridden for a long time, and it's not right to go out. Take Fleur with you. ”

"I also want to, but Fushuang is a concubine in the end, and taking Fushuang to show that I despise Xilianghou." Xiao Yuanji's eyes were cold: "Why don't you go with me?" ”

Ruan Yu frowned impatiently.

She felt that Xiao Yuanji was extremely crazy today.

Usually, he took Fushuang to the banquet of the adults, but today he had to go to her Jade Moss Courtyard to make a fuss.

Isn't that sick?

"That's your business, it's none of my business." Ruan Yu put down this sentence, turned around and entered the house, leaving no more eyes for him.

*

The next day, Xiao Yuanji really took Liu Fushuang to the banquet.

Liu Fushuang was the head of the green building in the western suburbs five years ago, and now she is busy with the things of the back house, and she is a little older, and her appearance is no longer what she used to be. But because she is Lan Xinhui and empathetic, Xiao Yuanji has been spoiling her all these years.

Usually, Liu Fushuang always dresses up gorgeously when she goes out to banquets, like a wife. Today, I have changed my sex, and my clothes and jewelry are lightly hung, as if I am trying my best to hide myself and make myself look less conspicuous.

Liu Fushuang trembled and followed Xiao Yuanji into the gate of Xilianghou Mansion, and rolled out before it was time for a cup of tea.

She was sent back to the Runan Marquis Mansion by the people of Xilianghou, and then took the group to the gate of the Jade Moss Courtyard.

"The princess is here, go and invite yourself." Liu Fushuang didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." One of the guards blocked her way, exchanged glances with her companion, nodded and said, "Please tell the princess, we will wait for her outside the door." ”

Liu Fushuang wanted to cry without tears.

Why is it her turn to do this?

The princess did not like to be disturbed, especially after that serious illness, and her temperament became more and more withdrawn and impatient to get close to people. Liu Fushuang is actually quite afraid of her, and she can be far away.

But the other side is not a master to mess with.

Liu Fushuang knocked on the door of the Jade Moss Courtyard.

It was a little maid who opened the door, and when she saw her, she said that she was really a rare guest, but she didn't ask much and invited her in. Beckoned his companion to call Sister Mingzhu.

Mingzhu came out of the house, glanced at Liu Fushuang, and asked, "What's the matter with Aunt Liu?" ”

I'm used to hearing others call her Mrs. Liu, and suddenly a Liu Fushuang called her aunt really can't accept it. I was almost about to blurt out that you were presumptuous, and I choked again.

Liu Fushuang said with a smile: "The Hou Ye is going to a banquet in the Xiliang Hou Mansion, please come over quickly." ”

Mingzhu looked at her strangely: "Didn't Aunt Liu accompany Master Hou?" Why did you come back and call the princess again? ”

It's okay not to mention it, but Liu Fushuang can't get off the stage when she mentions it.

As soon as she entered Xilianghou's mansion and saw Xilianghou, the other party made fun of her identity, and then sent someone to send her back, non-stop.

"I ......" Liu Fushuang looked unspeakable.

She didn't say it, Mingzhu could guess eight or nine, she lowered her head and smiled, and then looked up seriously and told Liu Fushuang: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and tell the princess." ”

"Trouble girl."

Inside the house, Ruan Yu was drinking medicine.

Honey is added to the medicine, and the bitterness is not so great. The air was filled with a faint medicinal scent that matched the smell of old wood and made the room smell like an old herb shop.

If you smell it carefully, you can smell a wisp of flowers.

On the window to the northwest was a celadon vase, and in the vase was a peach blossom, which was in full bloom, which had just been plucked from the branch this morning, and the petals were stained with dewdrops.

Ruan Yu is not sensitive to bitter taste, she didn't frown after drinking a bowl of medicine, she tucked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and saw Mingzhu coming over.

"Princess, Aunt Liu went to Xilianghou Mansion for a banquet and was driven back by Xilianghou."

Ruan Yu raised her eyelids in surprise, "How is this?" ”

"It's no wonder. has said that she wants a wife, where is Aunt Liu qualified? The slave knew that the princess was impatient to deal with those people, but the Marquis of Xiliang had made such great achievements that even His Majesty had to go out of the city three miles to greet him, so the princess should give face and go to a banquet for him. ”

Mingzhu gave Yingzhu a look, and Yingzhu echoed from the side: "Yes, princess, the slaves and maids also want to see what kind of character Xilianghou is." ”

This is really talking nonsense with their eyes open, they have seen Xilianghou many times before.

Qinzhu and Caizhu also followed suit.

Ruan Yu didn't want to go, but these four girls were full of interest, she had never wanted to treat her girls badly, let alone just seeing such a small wish of Xilianghou? In the end, I had to say yes.

The four maids cheered and ran away to get dressed for the princess.

Ruan Yu smiled helplessly, and said in her heart that going to see Xilianghou would make them so happy?

*

Half an hour later, Ruan Yu sat in the carriage sent by Xilianghou.

She rarely goes out, and most of the time she doesn't even step out of the courtyard gate, at most she walks around the yard. The carriage was upside down, and her bones hurt when it shook.

Fortunately, Xilianghou Mansion is not far away, two streets away. Along the way, I heard Mingzhu say that this is her father's house, which was originally the home of a corrupt official, and has been idle there since it was copied, and it was renovated a few days ago and given to Xilianghou.

Ruan Yu was curious about what kind of merit the Marquis of Xiliang could be so valued by his father, and Mingzhu said succinctly: "In three years, the joint rebellion of the five princes was suppressed, and the Jokhang territory occupied by the Mongol tribes for many years was recaptured, and the capital of the other party was once occupied. The Mongolian tribes paid tribute and begged for peace, and after His Majesty's approval, the Marquis of Xiliang led his troops to retreat. ”

Xilianghou's exploits are far more than these, Mingzhu just picked the most important thing.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xiliang Marquis' Mansion, and as soon as Ruan Yu got out of the car, the guards at the door immediately lined up on both sides, and shouted at Ruan Yu by bending down: "Princess! ”

Ruan Yu was a little baffled by this formation, as if she was ...... It's a little too grand.

When she entered the gate of the Hou Mansion, two maids were already waiting there, showing her the way in front. Xilianghou Mansion was originally the mansion of the corrupt official, and it was built very deep and circuitous, with many houses, and people who turned around the road were dizzy.

"Have you arrived?" Ruan Yu couldn't help but ask.

"It's almost here, if the princess is tired, you can call a sedan chair." The maid who led the way looked at her inquiringly.

She shook her head and said no, but a thin layer of sweat was already on her forehead.

She was sick all the year round, and seldom went out, and she had been sinned in the carriage just now, and she kept going about this house.

It's a bit overwhelming.

After some time, the maid led her down a staircase, and said, "This is it." ”

Her heart was beating extremely fast, her breathing was uneven, her vision was a little blurry, and she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, as if someone was standing in front of her. The other party was tall and cast a shadow with his back to the sun, and she happened to be in this shadow.

She could smell the breath on the other person's body.

It's like cold, aggressive ice, with sharp edges and angularities.

She subconsciously took a step back.

She wasn't used to being too close to people, men and women, let alone strangers.
