Chapter IV

Time turned to a month and a half later, today is the prince's birthday, Yi Jiu said that Wei Gongzi will come.

Xu Mianmian took another piece of candy and put it in her mouth, it was sweet, she put down the needle and thread in her hand, and when she saw that the hour was almost up, she put the things away, and sure enough, after a while, the forsythia in the early snow walked in.

"Princess, it's time to pass."

Xu Mianmian got up, paused when passing by the dressing mirror, picked up two hairpins that had been picked for a long time in the morning, and asked: "Forsythia in the early snow, to be honest, which of the two is more suitable?" ”

She compared the hairpin on her head, still feeling dissatisfied, Forsythia laughed, "The princess is so good-looking, in the past, without powder, it was like a fairy descending from heaven to earth, let alone being dressed up like this today." ”

"Not really." Chu Xue also smiled, "Women are those who please themselves, aren't they, princess." Chu Xue winked at Xu Mianmian, Xu Mianmian's face was flushed, and she hurriedly put down the hairpin.

"What nonsense, let's go!"

……

The princess's bedroom is not far from the East Palace, Xu Mianmian walked in with a bunch of "Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess", her eyes swept over the gorgeous banquet hall, and finally landed on the man not far away.

The corners of her mouth raised and she was about to walk over there, and after passing a few people, she found that there was a girl beside Wei Xiao who had just been blocked by the crowd.

The girl was dressed in a bright red Beidi dress, her half-wheat-colored arms were exposed, she was tall, her face was gorgeous, the hair on the side of her ears was braided into a thin braided braid, her smile was bright and hearty, and the two talked happily.

A trace of doubt flashed in Xu Mianmian's heart, and her footsteps stopped.

After just a pause, Xu Mianmian regained her mood and walked over again.

Seeing that the distance between the two was close, Xu Mianmian was just about to open his mouth to call someone, but he was stopped by someone.

"Your Highness the Princess."

When I turned around, it was Shi Haoyan again.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is beautiful, and today she is dressed like this, as if the goddess of the Nine Heavens has descended to earth, which really makes Weichen admire."

Oh, Xu Mianmian was aroused by his words and got goosebumps, "Why did Shi Langzhong say this, I don't know what the matter is here?" "If you're okay, please go.

I haven't seen each other for two months, Shi Haoyan was sealed in the Ministry of Langzhong, He Ming was sealed in the Ministry of Langzhong, the two of them have a steady career, and Wei Xiao is in the Hanlin Academy as a repairer, the circumstances of the three are very different, and no one in the court laughs at Wei Xiao who came from a ravine really can't make a big deal.

"Uh... The main thing is no. Shi Haoyan rubbed his nose, and when he heard that Xu Mianmian didn't want to talk more, he hurriedly moved the prince out, "His Royal Highness the prince is waiting for you inside." ”

This time it is not okay not to go, Xu Mianmian's nose wrinkled, and before leaving, he glanced at Wei Xiao's location, and found that the two who were still there just now are now gone, and they don't know where they went.

Helpless, Xu Mianmian followed Shi Haoyan to find the prince, and as soon as they met, he was asked for a gift by his prince's brother.

Xu Mianmian ordered Chu Xue to present the birthday gift to Xu Yang, and inside was a classic painting by a painter of the previous dynasty, "I know that my brother likes this, and Mianmian ordered someone to find it for a long time before I got it, is it still satisfactory for my brother to see?" ”

Xu Yang was overjoyed, said hello three times in a row, and watched it many times before ordering someone to put it away carefully.

The brother and sister chatted a few more words, and when everything was in order with Xu Yang, they went to the banquet hall.

The number of people in the banquet hall was much more than when Xu Mianmian came just now, and when they saw Xu Yang and Xu Mianmian coming together, they saluted one after another: "Attend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"You don't have to be polite." Xu Yang was obviously in a very good mood.

When everyone saw that the Lord was coming, they came up and began to offer gifts, most of the gifts were splendid jade, rare treasures, Xu Yang as the prince saw a lot of these, and he didn't feel how rare they were, so they couldn't help but have some interest.

Xu Mianmian didn't see Wei Xiao in the crowd, and her heart was also very depressed, Yi Jiu was not there, there was no one to chat, and Xu Mianmian began to be stunned again.

I don't know who the woman in red is......

Just as he was thinking about it, a touch of red suddenly flashed in front of him, and Xu Mianmian raised his eyes to see the woman who was beside Wei Xiao before carrying a vermilion box and presenting it.

The woman's movements were sassy, and her voice was not as soft as the girl from the Central Plains, "Princess Ruiying of Beidi has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and when she heard about the Prince's birthday, she came to congratulate her on her birthday, and a Chixia Spirit Bow was dedicated to Her Highness!" ”

"Cabernet Spirit Bow!?" Xu Yang stood up and took a few steps forward, carefully measuring the exquisite strong bow in Princess Beidi's box.

The courtiers saw the prince's reaction, the civil officials were fine, but the military attachΓ©s were also excited one by one, Xu Mianmian was a little curious, and took a look, although she didn't understand, she could also feel the extraordinaryness of this bow.

Xu Mianmian retracted his gaze in admiration, and found that Wei Xiao had returned to the banquet hall at some point, he had changed into a shirt, and when he came, Xu Mianmian saw that he was still dressed in white, but now he was changed into a black suit, which made him a little ruthless and handsome.

Princess Beidi on the side didn't know what to say to the prince, but the prince announced loudly: "Today, the prince has this good bow, I am very relieved, I will go to Lin Qingyuan tomorrow to hunt, in a team of two, the one with more prey wins, and the winner is rewarded!" ”

Xu Mianmian was stunned, hunting in spring? She subconsciously looked at Wei Xiao, but saw Wei Xiao standing behind the person with an inexplicable expression.

Many elderly civil officials persuaded him, but the prince was on the rise, and when he heard those words, he was still disappointed, so he asked Princess Beidi with a smile, "Since Ruiying proposed a team of two, there must already be a candidate." ”

Princess Ruiying of Beidi hooked her lips and smiled, her eyes swept over Wei Xiao, who had already changed her clothes, "Naturally, I wonder if I am fortunate to walk with Lord Wei?" ”

"Oh?" The prince smiled meaningfully, "Naturally, Wei Xiao." ”

"The minister is here." Wei Xiao took a step back in a deep voice.

Prince: "Do you hear me clearly?" ”

Xu Mianmian subconsciously bit her lower lip and heard Wei Xiao say, "Minister, it's an honor." ”

At the birthday banquet in the second half, Xu Mianmian didn't know what she had listened to, and her mind was full of Wei Xiao and Princess Beidi's happy conversation, as well as the last sentence that Wei Xiao said was very honored.

She rummaged through the world information on the system, and she didn't see any intersection between Wei Xiao and other women, and even the four words Princess Beidi were rarely mentioned.

Finally came to an end, Xu Mianmian walked a few steps quickly, stopped Wei Xiao with a surprised face, and boldly took him to a secluded place.

"You."

"Princess."

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, but they all lost their voices, and Wei Xiao couldn't hold back the half-sound.

"I don't know what the princess means."

I wonder what she means? Xu Mianmian's eyes were red, and she looked up at Wei Xiao's eyes and asked him, "What is your relationship with Princess Beidi?" ”

The little woman's eyes were red, Wei Xiao was sure that she saw grievances and sadness in those eyes, she began to bite her lip again, Wei Xiao's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and her words were a little hoarse.

"It's okay, today is the first time we've met."

Hearing Wei Xiao's honest explanation, Xu Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief and felt angry at the same time, "The first time I saw you, I chatted so happily, lonely men and widows, men and women, men and women, don't you know anything that a scholar!" ”

Lonely men and widows, men and women are guarded?

Wei Xiao glanced at the secluded corner, and then looked at her who was less than a foot in front of him, "It's Wei's fault, but the princess's actions are ......" Wei Xiao paused, and there seemed to be an undercurrent hidden in his deep eyes, "How does the princess educate Wei?" ”

Xu Mianmian realized it later, her face turned red, many years of education of Miss Guifu made her habitually want to retreat, but then she thought that this was not the Imperial History Mansion, and no one knew the real her, and ...... It's Wei Gongzi again......

She took a step forward boldly, and the character of the original princess was arrogant and presumptuous, and she was arrogant occasionally, so it should be okay.

"That's it, that's it, how are you, listen or not?"

She is not very skilled in arrogance, but she speaks like a coquettish when she is unreasonable, her curly eyelashes tremble with shyness, and the shadow shows the deer-like moist eyes under the eyelashes.

Could it be fake? Is it a lie to him again?

Wei Xiao's mind was in a trance for a moment, but his hand was bewitched and stroked the delicate cheek, so what, even if he lied to him?

"Wei Xiao, naturally I listened."

The sun is setting, the warm yellow sunlight reflects the bright sunset behind Wei Xiao, Wei Xiao's palms are dry and warm, and the movements on his face are gentle as if he is treating rare flowers.

Xu Mianmian rubbed subconsciously, her heartbeat was like a drum, Wei Gongzi is so good-looking, she thought.

However, the quiet and warm atmosphere only lasted for a while, Wei Xiao's fingertips trembled, but he still put his hand down, took a step back and lowered his head: "Weichen is abrupt." ”

Xu Mianmian twisted her fingers in the handkerchief, and her voice was almost gone, "It's nothing." ”

Wei Xiao's eyes were complicated, "It's getting late, princess, please go back." ”

Xu Mianmian nodded, walked two steps slowly, and quietly looked back and saw that Wei Xiao was still standing in place looking at her, her heart jumped, and she hurriedly trotted away.

Closing the door tightly, Xu Mianmian leaned her back against the vermilion door, her chest rising and falling with her breathing.

Ashamed, she stretched out her left index finger and tapped the cheek that had been caressed by Wei Xiao, and then boldly covered her entire hand.

The heat on her face remained high, Xu Mianmian's eyes were shining, and she couldn't help but think of the picture with Wei Xiao on the one hand, while spitting on the female Debai who had studied for 18 years.

Wei Gongzi is so good-looking, his eyes are like stars, his eyebrows are like swords, and his thin lips are always pursed, although the whole person looks cold and ruthless, but ......

Xu Mianmian thought about the picture of being held tightly by the man as soon as he stumbled when he first saw him, the fiery palm, the warm embrace, and the time under the horse, the man's nervous attitude, the violent heartbeat, and the honey that was sweet to the bottom of his heart with a slight breath.

Hmm, Xu Mianmian folded her hands on her chest and tried to suppress her beating heart, asking herself why she didn't complete the task and planted herself in it?

When he calmed down, Xu Mianmian remembered the trust value that Yi Jiu had been admonishing, and thought that with such a big progress today, it should have risen a lot, so he hurriedly turned on the system.

"Why did it go up by 5 points??? Xu Mianmian couldn't believe it, obviously she just cried last time, and her trust score rose by 20, does Wei Gongzi like to see her cry?

Xu Mianmian was taken aback by this idea, and hurriedly threw this thought out, Wei Gongzi would not be that kind of person!

The prince's interest came quickly, saying that the wind is the rain tomorrow's hunting, Xu Mianmian thought that he would not be able to sleep tonight, but he didn't expect to lie in bed and enter the dream, and it was not until the early morning of the second day that he was called up by the first snow.

With the help of Chu Xue and Lu Qiao, Xu Mianmian quickly sorted out his clothes, Xu Mianmian had a rough breakfast, and then took a carriage to Lin Qingyuan.

Lin Qingyuan's name looks small, but it is actually a mountain that was fenced off in the previous dynasty, and then it has been used as a royal hunting ground, the distance is not close, and Xu Mianmian got up late, so although the road is hurrying and hurrying, it will be noon by then.

Most of the people who came today were the children of the official family, and the prince was surrounded by the stars like a moon, Xu Mianmian also suffered the same treatment as soon as he appeared, and saw Wei Xiao standing with that Ruiying from a distance, but I don't know if I listened to her last night, today is no longer just the two of them, Wei Xiao also brought two small servants by his side.

Except for Wei Xiao and Ruiying, who had already been decided at yesterday's banquet, the others had also chosen their partners for this trip before. Xu Mianmian had guessed that Shi Haoyan would come to her before, so she was not surprised when she looked back and saw Shi Haoyan.

To tell the truth, Shi Haoyan is good, but it is the false tenderness that always carries in his eyes, which makes people think of the negative scholar in the book.

Xu Mianmian refused his words and got on the horse with the help of the little eunuch.

She is not good at equestrianism, and she has only ridden with her eldest brother a few times in her previous life, so she chose a brown-red pony with a very gentle personality.

Shi Haoyan looked at the figure of Xu Mianmian riding a pony and walking towards the forest, a pair of peach blossom eyes changed from the gentleness of the past, full of gloom, "Tell your master, do what she says." ”

The strange little guy on the side responded, and Shi Haoyan said again: "Xu Mianmian left it to me, I want to see how high she can go." ”

……

All the teams have already set off, the prince took the lead, no one dared to cross, the forest was startled by the continuous birdsong, the crowd gradually dispersed, Xu Mianmian held a willow branch that had just been broken in his right hand, and rode a pony slowly along the path with his left hand.
