Chapter 62: The Covenant
Since yesterday, Mrs. Wen has been ill, so sick that she did not even attend last night's banquet. But afterwards, the princess only sent someone over to greet her, and did not go to see it in person, but the prince never even asked, let alone took a look.
On the second day, it was already evening, and Mrs. Wen could not sit still any longer, and after getting up and walking around the house a few times, she turned and walked out, but when she reached the door, she retreated again. After repeating this, she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered the maid to open the locker and dig out a half-used sachet. She took it, smiled, and then ordered the maid to go to the garden and break some of the half-wilted flowers.
Then she ordered the maid beside her to send the half-wilted flowers and the half-old sachet to the prince, and specially explained that they must be sent to the prince.
"Yuzhu, you go to the prince's place to have a look, but you're coming?" When the evening meal was passed, Princess Dingnan looked at the wall clock in the house, and when she saw that it was not early, she gave an order. King Dingnan left a message at noon, he was going to have dinner in Manxiangyuan tonight, but he saw that the sky was dark, but he didn't see the prince yet.
Before Princess Dingnan's words fell, Mu Miaoyi's voice came in from outside: "The princess doesn't need to send someone over, the concubine has just passed by, and the prince seems to be busy with something, even the maid sent by Mrs. Wen has been reprimanded, and she has been beaten several times." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" Princess Dingnan was surprised, and after seeing Mu Miaoyi come in, she beckoned her to come and sit beside her.
Mu Miaoyi entered the house, walked over and bowed slightly, and sat down sideways before smiling: "Didn't the one over there pretend to be sick, it is estimated that since last night to the present, the prince has never asked anyone to ask, she couldn't sit still, so she folded a few half-wilted flowers and a half-old sachet, and asked the maid to send it to the prince." ”
Princess Dingnan smiled when she heard this, and at the same time shook her head and said: "After so many years, she still can't figure out the heart of the prince, and she really thinks that the prince is such a mediocre person who pities flowers and grass." ”
"Not really." Mu Miaoyi echoed, and then secretly added in her heart, if Mrs. Wen really has such a delicate heart, how can she obediently use the princess as a gun for more than ten years, but she is still unable to see clearly. "What happened," the princess asked.
"It's also a coincidence, the prince was in the study at the time, and explained that no one was allowed to go in, but the maid was in a hurry to send things over at that time. Originally, if she handed over the things to the subordinate who was waiting outside the study, this matter would have passed, but she knew that the maid was a dead-eyed person, and she was afraid that she would have to take it to the prince with her own hands. So a few words of dispute quarreled with the prince, and the prince ordered the housekeeper to rectify it. So in the end, the maid not only didn't send the things out, but also took the board, and she will go back, I'm afraid it won't be better. After Mu Miaoyi finished speaking, she sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that such a solid-eyed maid, if it weren't for that person, the concubine would really want to come over." ”
After hearing this, Princess Dingnan frowned slightly, and muttered for a while before saying: "Even if that one is out of favor now, the prince will not slap her in the face like this, do you know what the prince was doing in the study at that time?" ”
"This, the concubine is not very clear." Mu Miaoyi shook her head, just thought about it, and said, "But the concubine heard that in the afternoon, Tian Gongzi came to find the prince once, and after that Tian Gongzi left, the prince locked himself in the study and ordered no one to go in and disturb him. ”
"Tian Gongzi." Princess Dingnan thought of the man with an indifferent face, and asked again, "How long has he been in the prince's study?" ”
"Listening to the meaning of the next person, it should be less than half a pillar of incense, and it will come out soon."
Princess Dingnan suddenly fell silent, and Mu Miaoyi didn't know what was wrong, and when she was thinking about whether she had said something wrong, Princess Dingnan said again: "You can eat with me today, I haven't eaten with you for a while." ”
The sky was getting dark, and the light in the study was gradually blurring, but the king of Dingnan didn't bother to light the lamp or call people in.
He had been looking at the two pictures on the table for an afternoon, but he still couldn't hide his excitement. He searched for this thing for nearly 20 years, and he didn't know how much effort it took, and in the end, he only got half of it, but he didn't want the other half to be delivered to the door by himself.
It's just that what Tian Qi sent was not the original map, but a rubbing, but at this time he took out a rubbing.
After looking at it for an afternoon, he was almost sure that the half of the picture that Tian Qi brought was not faked, as long as he was given some more time, he would be able to study this thing thoroughly! After King Dingnan thought of this, he couldn't help but think of the miraculous battle a hundred years ago, and the glory of that person back then has now become a legend and has been lost in the time of history.
Tian Qi, since he can take out this rubbing, it means that the original picture is indeed in his hand. Then the collection of essays may really be in his hands.
As soon as he thought of this, King Dingnan could hardly restrain his trembling hands, this person must be removed! After he thoroughly studies this Xiangtian diagram and gets the original picture and the collection of essays, it is time to get rid of the other party, no matter who he is!
In the afternoon, I was supposed to go to the retreat garden to find Tian Qi, but I didn't bump into it, Tang Lu'er waited there for a while and didn't see anyone come back, and asked the maid there, but no one knew where he went, so she had to leave a message and come back first. It's just that I've eaten this dinner, but Tian Qi still hasn't come to look for her, could it be that she went out of the house?
Tang Lu'er thought about it, and took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, and planned to go over again to see if he had come back, but as soon as he went out, he saw Tian Qi walking in from the courtyard gate.
"Seventh brother!" As soon as she looked at him, Tang Lu'er immediately jumped over with a smile, "Where did you go in the afternoon, I went to look for you, when did you come back, did you have dinner?" No one is stopping you here. ”
As she ran past him, a gust of evening breeze blew through her, and an unknown flower fell lightly on her hair. The pink petals lining the vibrant face, the bright smile, and the clear eyes make people look at it and feel happy.
"I've eaten, what are you looking for me today?" Tian Qi said as he raised his hand to help her take off the flowers from her hair, and then handed them to her.
Tang Lu'er was stunned for a moment, and then took the flower with a smile and played with it in his hand: "Let's go into the house and say?" ”
Tian Qi glanced at the room, and suddenly remembered the figure he saw last night, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Just say it in the corridor over there, don't you like to blow the wind." ”
"Well, that's fine." Tang Lu'er nodded, and walked back with the flower, Feiyan and the others didn't know when, they had already retreated, and at this moment only the two of them were left in this place. Tang Lu'er is not surprised, since she knew what Mrs. Liu meant, she knew that those maids who pulled out to her side must have eyes and know how to advance and retreat.
It's just that when Tang Lu'er sat down on the railing of the corridor, she looked at Tian Qi, who stood in front of her and stood with his hands in his hands. Somehow, the scene of her leaning on him and crying suddenly flashed in her mind, and the place was in the corridor of the Huijing Garden, the time was night, and there were glass lamps around it, and next to it was a pond full of swaying green lotus. Tang Lu'er was so frightened that she threw the flower in her hand, it couldn't be true, she always thought it was just a strange dream last night, but now, why did that picture suddenly jump into her mind, and it was so clear!
Thinking like this, she stared at Tian Qi, still with a little uncertainty in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Being stared at by her so directly, Tian Qi, who has always been very calm, is also a little uncalm at this time
"Seventh brother." Tang Lu'er smiled, "That, last night, did I do anything to you, well, rude?" ”
Tian Qi looked at her for a while, was silent for a while, and then said calmly: "In front of me, you have never paid much attention to etiquette. ”
Tang Luer: "......"
Sure enough, it wasn't a dream, she was really hugging him and crying, ahhhh
Tang Lu'er scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Hey, hey, hey...... Didn't I drink too much, my brain is confused, it doesn't count, let's forget about it. ”
"Don't count?" Tian Qi suddenly asked very seriously.
"Huh?" Tang Lu'er was stunned, could it be that he wanted to make a promise? She just hugged him, this doesn't ruin his innocence!
"You said that if I pass by Xingqi Island in the future, you will invite me to drink, don't count this?" A rare hint of banter flashed in Tian Qi's eyes.
"Ahh Tang Lu'er smiled, "Keep it and let Brother Qi drink enough, my family's wine is no worse than the wine in this palace, grandma's wine, it is famous in the entire Xingqi Island." I also know that there are a few jars of good wine that are old and buried under an old plum tree by my grandmother, and I will secretly dig them up for you at that time, and we will drink them together. ”
Looking at this girl, as soon as she said this, her eyes lit up, Tian Qi smiled secretly, I don't know how long this girl has been thinking about those jars of wine, I am afraid that she didn't have the courage to do it when she was alone, so she went around pulling people to be brave.
After talking for a while, Tang Lu'er remembered what was going on, and hurriedly stopped: "I almost forgot, I did have something to do with you today." ”
"Hmm." Tian Qi responded, but saw that she suddenly looked left and right, so he said, "There is no one here, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it." ”
Hearing him say this, Tang Lu'er was relieved, and said, "You also saw it last night, the lady Liu next to the prince is the green banana." ”
Tian Qi nodded, waiting for her next words, Tang Lu'er paused, and then said everything that Mrs. Liu said to her, and then looked at Tian Qi and asked, "Do you want to promise her?" ”
