Yang Yuluan's cheeks were already so red that they seemed to be dripping blood, and the head that was proud and tall a little earlier had already been buried deep in his chest, and his extremely clever tongue seemed to have been removed by a cat, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

And Feng Huanling was not in a hurry, took the teacup that Su Yuecai brought and took a sip, and even moved his gaze from the county lord of Pingxi to Zhong Xiu, "You kid looks timid and cowardly, I can't imagine that I would dare to collide with Shangguan Die so domineeringly, aren't you afraid that she will bite you like a mad dog in the future and find trouble for you?" ”

In fact, Zhong Xiu, who had only said one sentence to refute Shangguan Die's shouting, blushed slightly and said: "The folk girl just listened to her brother's teachings, and never dared to forget that it was thanks to the help of His Royal Highness King Cheyue and the princess that the victims of the disaster in my hometown were able to impeach the corrupt officials as they wished, and let me and my brother enjoy the wealth we have now." It's a pity that the folk girl is really too mediocre and stupid, and even if she has the heart, she can't help the princess after all. ”

Hearing her say this, Feng Huanling couldn't help but look at the little girl who had barely left any impression on her before, and nodded: "You have done a good job today, but don't be so impulsive in the future, if you don't have a perfect confidence to suppress the opponent with one hit, it is better to endure the humiliation for a while, and then fight back when you are sure enough." ”

Although Zhong Xiu is not very smart, he is by no means a really stupid person, and immediately understood that the princess was teaching herself, so she hurriedly said thank you with heartfelt emotion.

Feng Huanling and Zhong Xiu were still chatting without a word, only feeling that they had not seen such a simple little girl for a long time, and they really liked it a little, until they heard that Zhong Zheng intended to let her participate in the autumn election, she frowned invisibly and fell silent for a while.

Yang Yuluan, whose face had returned to normal, opened his mouth at this time, and said proudly: "The princess expected it to be good, Yuluan has indeed been fond of King Cheyue for a long time. Although Shicai really couldn't see Shangguan Die's face, he really secretly wanted to win over the princess in order to further win the favor of the prince. Yuluan has already seen with her own eyes how much the prince loves the princess, so she no longer dares to ask for those foolish girls to dream of the position of the concubine, and only ask for nothing else if she can enter the palace as a side concubine in the future, and can get along with her sister. ”

The words of the county lord of Pingxi made Feng Huanling stunned, but he was not too shocked or anything, but felt a little crying and laughing.

I thought that it would be the ultimate to meet an extremely stupid Shangguan Die today, but who would have thought that this seemingly calm and rational Yang Yuluan was also a rare superlative!

"Side concubine?"

Feng Huanling finally couldn't hold back her chuckle anymore, "Okay, if you really have the ability to let the prince accept you as a side concubine, then the princess will definitely get along with you well." ”

Hearing the contempt in Princess Cheyue's words, Yang Yuluan's face suddenly became a little unsightly, and he hurriedly saluted: "It seems that Yuluan is still not good at getting along with the women of the back house after all, and hopes that the princess will forgive her sins, Yuluan decided to follow the footsteps of the saint and the prince into the mountains to hunt." ”

After that, Yang Yuluan didn't wait for Feng Huanling to react, he didn't even change his light armor, he only wore the light arrow sleeve brocade robe, neatly turned over and crossed the fence to find his own horses, bows and arrows, etc., and soon urged the horse into the dense mountain forest.

Even Yushu was dumbfounded for a while before muttering, "It turns out that she is another person who covets the prince, if she is so confident that she can win the favor of the prince, although she is not the first woman, she is too ......."

If it is said that the status is noble and can make trouble, this Yang Yuluan is obviously not as good as the ninth princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom, but even Huo Xuan is just clamoring to marry Long Yucang, and she has never dared to marry like her.

Zhilan also said depressedly: "This Pingxi county lord has clearly regarded himself as a side concubine, it turns out that Shicai protects the princess like that, and hopes that the princess will say more good things for her in front of the prince, this person is really ......"

She, Feng Huanling has not yet found any adjectives to properly describe this Pingxi County Lord, but looking at the gradually gloomy sky, and then looking at the lush and bottomless mountains and forests, she suddenly felt some indescribable anxiety in her heart.

Zhong Xiu, who was still accompanying him, also looked at the sky and said in a low voice: "It looks like it's going to rain, but the princess is worried about the safety of the prince who continues to stay in the mountains to hunt?" ”

Feng Huanling was not surprised by this girl's carefulness, with Zhong Xiu's original background, it was common to see the simple sky, and said calmly: "I'm a little worried, but it should be fine, after all, this is the Qinglong Mountain where the imperial tomb is hidden, and it is just a hunting companion, what can happen?" There's nothing to see outside, presumably the saint and the prince will come back before the rain falls, so let's go back to the tent first. ”

After all, although no one dared to step forward, there may be a lot of courtiers and even noblewomen who are good friends with Shangguan Die, if Zhong Xiu is allowed to go to the collective rest tent prepared for other female dependents, I am afraid that this little girl will be bullied to death as a punching bag.

Yushu followed last, and when he was about to enter the account, he thoughtfully looked back at the vast Qinglong Mountain, and his dark and condensed beautiful eyes faintly revealed a few wisps of worry.

After entering the rest tent, Feng Huanling instructed Su Yue to take out some exquisite snacks for Zhong Xiu to eat, and she was so happy that the little girl couldn't hide her emotions even if she wanted to, so she ate it carefully after thanking her.

In fact, this Zhong Xiu is only one or two years younger than her, but in the eyes of Feng Huanling, she is just a child, and she has not been affected by those extravagant and flashy atmosphere when she first arrived in Kyoto, and still maintains the simplicity of the small people in the remote places, but she does not seem too small and snobbish, I have to say that her parents and brothers taught this girl very well.

Seeing that Zhong Xiu was gradually relaxing after eating dim sum, Feng Huanling casually chatted with her and asked her hometown and whether the Zhong family was used to it after moving to Longcheng.

The little girl didn't have any scheming, and the previous restraint was also because of the fear of Princess Cheyue, but now there is good food and drink and the princess's tone is very friendly, Zhong Xiu gradually forgot her brother's advice, revealing the most authentic side, telling everything she knows, and even complaining a few words Zhong Zheng is often excluded by other officials because of his temperament is too upright and has no background to rely on.

Zhong Xiu grabbed the last piece of Ruyi cake on the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and said: "Auntie said, if my brother can marry a lady with a prominent status, or if I marry well, those people will not dare to look down on us and bully us like this." But my father said that we should stick to our duty as a man, and we shouldn't think about climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix all day long, as long as my brother is a good official and our family is also a good man, sooner or later those who once looked down on us will change their minds. ”

"Well, Xiu'er's father is really virtuous, no wonder he will teach your brothers and sisters to behave like this." Feng Huanling nodded appreciatively at first, but then frowned slightly, "But Zhong Zheng wants you to enter the palace as a concubine, this is ......"

When it came to participating in the autumn election, Zhong Xiu blushed and said: "Actually, the matter of wanting to enter the palace has nothing to do with my brother, but the folk girl heard that if she can be favored by the saint through the autumn election, her brother's career will be better, and the family will no longer be looked down upon by others, so the folk girl wants to ...... In addition, the saint is so wise and powerful, if he can be favored by the saint, it will be a blessing for the people to cultivate for several generations. ”

Seeing that the little girl's shy appearance was really moved by Long Jingming, Feng Huanling's lips moved, and she didn't know what to say.

At this moment, there was a sudden dull thunder outside, like a heavy hammer smashing on a person's chest, shocking everyone.

"Haven't they come back yet, my lord?"

Feng Huanling didn't care about persuading the ignorant and innocent Zhong Xiu anymore, got up and walked quickly to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain and looked at the already cloudy sky outside.

"It's still fine at noon, why is it suddenly gloomy like this?"

Zhong Xiu, who followed later, looked at the suddenly changing sky outside the tent and couldn't help muttering.

Zhilan went outside to inquire around again, and then came back and solemnly reported: "Outside has gathered people and horses into the mountain to meet the holy driver, and the slaves and maids have also arranged a group of secret guards to meet the prince, so the princess doesn't have to worry." ”

Having said that, Feng Huanling's anxiety in her heart became worse and worse, and as she listened to the noisy voices of the people outside, she paced around the tent more and more uneasily.

Yushu hesitated and stepped forward and said, "If the princess is still not at ease, how about letting the slave maid go to the mountains?" ”

Hearing this, Feng Huanling turned her eyes and looked at Yushu thoughtfully for a long time, then nodded slowly, and let her leave after a few words.

"Princess, Yushu ......"

Su Yueke always remembered the prince's precautions against the maid, but the princess always believed her.

"I've always felt that the weather has become weird today, and it seems to be a little similar to the sky when we lost Luo Xian last time."

Feng Huanling ignored the matter of Yushu, and frankly confessed that she was more worried about the sudden change in weather.

After all, Emperor Xuan's trip is not trivial, even if he just goes to Qinglong Mountain to hunt, Qin Tianjian must observe the celestial phenomena in advance to calculate the auspicious day, and it is usually unlikely that such a thunderstorm will suddenly appear.

Even if it was inevitable that there would be miscalculations, but she was just right to look at the distance below the mountain, and it was still sunny in the distance, and it was clear that only layers of dark clouds and thunder and lightning suddenly rose above their heads, and this kind of scene was not strange. And this kind of weather is not a big deal in ordinary times, but it is not without danger in the complex mountains.

"My brother and sister's eyesight is really extraordinary, this thunderstorm is indeed not simple!"

The sudden appearance of the man's voice made the ladies in the tent stunned, but only Zhong Xiu was panicked, and Feng Huanling and the others showed joy after recognizing this voice.

"Senior Brother Cangyun, why are you here?"

Feng Huanling just wanted to go out to greet him in person, but was stopped by Cangyun outside: "The sky has changed in the mountains, and my younger brother and sister are still safe in the tent." ”
