Chapter 14 Meet in the Bamboo Forest
The palace banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. There were countless dignitaries and scholars present. Coupled with a few female dependents, it is lively like a folk market.
Gongzi Jinqian sat in his seat and never moved. Rouxin naturally didn't dare to leave easily.
"Childe! This garden is full of flowers, why don't you take a look? Yang Ying, the eldest daughter of Master Yang, walked over.
"Softheart! Go for a walk with her! There was a slight impatience in Gongzi Jin's tone.
Yang Ying's face turned red and he was resentful. Ever since she was a child, no one dared to speak to her like that. Although she admires Gongzi Jinyan, she is also a proud person. She wanted to say she didn't have to. But after thinking about it: this maid was a person close to him, and she was naturally very familiar with his habits. She can take this opportunity to learn more about Gongzi Jinyan.
Rouxin is a little bored. Hearing that Gongzi Jinqi asked her to go out for a walk, she was naturally overjoyed.
Yang Ying was dressed in red and brocade, as beautiful and moving as the peony in the garden. Rouxin is dressed in green, covered with a white robe, soft and lovely.
The two of them walked in the imperial garden and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Childe Qingqian looked at this side behind a bush of peony flowers.
Yang Ying asked Gongzi Jin's daily life and eating habits. Rouxin replied softly one by one.
Later, the daughter of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and Yang Ying reminisced. Rouxin was able to wander around the Imperial Garden alone. When he walked into the bamboo forest outside the Lanxin Pavilion, he heard a voice: "Come in!" ”
Rouxin looked inside along the bamboo forest, and the shallow figure of the son was faintly visible. She looked around to see if there was no one, and quickly dodged in.
Gongzi Qingqian stood under a few cultivated bamboos, looking at her with gloomy eyes.
The thinner a person is, the more energetic his eyes will be. Childe Qingqian looks more handsome than before.
"I've seen Childe!" Rouxin has not forgotten the number of courtesies.
"Are you sure you're going to kill him?" Childe's shallow voice was very soft, but it made people feel hateful.
"Nope!" Rouxin said without hesitation. One is that she is really not sure. Second, she couldn't bear it. Especially after being rescued by Gongzi Jinqian at the banquet last time, her heart has changed.
Women's feelings trump reason, so they are often at a disadvantage.
"I don't want to!" Childe said abruptly.
Rouxin was shocked and immediately realized that she had made a fatal mistake. That is, he may lose the trust of his son in the future, and he may also cause death.
"What do you mean by that?" Although Rouxin is not good at scheming, she has been following Gongzi Jin for a long time, so she will naturally learn a thing or two.
"...... between you," Childe Qing's shallow words were interrupted by Rouxin.
"Nothing happened between us!" Rouxin didn't know why she was in such a hurry to defend herself.
"Oh?" This time it was Childe's turn to be surprised. However, he soon regained his composure. But his heart was secretly happy. She likes herself and may not even know herself. That's why she's so anxious to explain.
"Don't forget who you are!" Childe's shallow tone is still so strong.
"Yes!" After Rouxin finished speaking, she walked out of the bamboo forest.
The sun is already high. The sky was blue, with the occasional cloud drifting by.
The wind blew the hair on Rouxin's forehead, and her heart brightened.
Rouxin didn't go far when she saw the fourth prince and a man in blue coming over. Rouxin couldn't dodge, so she had to stand on the side of the road with her head down.
Originally, the four princes had already walked over. But he folded back.
"Sure enough, it's you! We are really fateful! The fourth prince grabbed Rouxin's arm. Rouxin didn't break free. Only then did she know why the Holy Lord had sent him to guard the border today.
"Please let go!" Rouxin felt that her arm was almost no longer her own.
"Know it hurts? Then you have to learn to be obedient! The fourth prince actually clicked on the soft acupoint, picked her up and left. Only the man in blue was left standing in place.
Gongzi Qingqian walked out of the bamboo forest and happened to see the back of the four princes.
Is it softness that he is holding? Childe's shallow heart tightened.
"Childe!" Childe's shallow personal guard, Hanguang, walked to his side. What did Childe explain to him?
Gongzi Jinqian was still sitting on the circle chair. That's when he heard the conversation between the two women behind him. It is said that the fourth prince Sima Li left with a woman in his arms.
Woman? Childe Jin didn't care at first. The romantic temperament of the four princes is well known. Even today's saints turn a blind eye to accommodate him. It's just because he went to the bitter cold place of the border pass early. Far away from the bustle of the city, just to protect the country.
But when it came time for luncheon, the guests were seated. Gongzi Jinqian still didn't see the shadow of softness. In his heart, he knew that the four princes had taken Rouxin away.
"Feng Yan! Go to the Four Princes' Mansion to have a look! Just make sure she's okay! Gongzi Jinqian commanded in a low voice.
"Yes!" An imperceptible smile appeared on Feng Yan's face. This scourge should be removed!
Feng Yan went to the mansion of the fourth prince. In the dark, he saw Rouxin making tea in the study of the Four Princes.
The fourth prince sat behind his bookcase, wiping his sword.
Feng Yan was disappointed when he saw this scene. He then returned to the banquet in the palace.
Gongzi Jinqian heard the letter and breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the palace banquet, he went to see the second prince.
When the second prince arrived at the fourth prince's mansion, Rouxin was playing chess with the fourth prince.
"Why does the second brother have time to come to my house?" The fourth prince did not raise his head.
"Your story has spread at the banquet!" The eyes of the second prince looked at Rouxin. She sat on her knees, silent.
"So what?" The four princes didn't care about the sunspots.
"She! I've got to take it! "The second prince made his intentions clear.
"I don't have to worry about this matter for the second brother!" The fourth prince took another sunspot in his hand.
"Thank you, Second Prince! Please send someone to bring a message, I will go back!" Rouxin saw that the second prince was in a dilemma, so she saluted.
"Fourth brother! The capital is not as good as outside the gates! ”
"Second Brother Xie! Serve tea! The eyes of the four princes were still fixed on the chessboard.
"Excuse me!" The second prince glanced at the jade pendant he gave her on Rouxin's waist and turned to leave.
The second prince brought his gentle words to Gongzi Jin. Gongzi Jinyan was slightly stunned when he heard this. Could it be that Rouxin can come out of the mansion of the four princes by herself?
The chess skills of the Four Princes were learned from chess masters in the palace since childhood. His comprehension is extremely high, so his chess skills are the best among the princes.
But this time, he's probably going to lose. If he loses, he will let go of his soft heart and go back, this is an agreement between the two of them.
"That's it! I lost! It is very rare for this kind of thing to come out of the mouth of the fourth prince Sima Li.
Rouxin stood up. She was happy to think about leaving here. After all, this fourth prince is very difficult.
The fourth prince also stood up and walked to Rouxin's side. He wrapped his arms around Rouxin's neck and looked into her charming eyes.
"How can I keep you?"
"Unless you kill me!" Soft-hearted and resolute.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" The eyes of the four princes sharpened.
Rouxin closed her eyes. She didn't want to talk to the Four Princes anymore.
"You're not so lucky next time!" The fourth prince let go of his arm. Rouxin hurriedly walked to the door.
"Wait! The jade pendant on your waist belongs to my second brother! ”
"Yes!" Gentle feet stepped out of the door. She just wanted to get out of here quickly. The Four Princes were a nightmare for her.
