Chapter 65: Ning Xi invited
As Ziquan said, although the medicine was hard to drink, in the evening, Hua Xiyan finally got out of bed in good spirits.
Wang Qi and the others were sitting in the courtyard gossiping something, and when they saw Hua Xiyan coming out, they hurriedly beckoned to her.
"Seeing that the second sister hasn't come out for a long time, I thought the second sister was not in good health!" Wang Jin was very energetic and swallowed the melon seeds, and said vaguely at Huaxi Yan.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Wang Lan teased Wang Qingyu in his arms and glared at Wang Jin.
Wang Jin didn't pay attention to Wang Lan, still snorting melon seeds very energetically, Wang Qi held a cup of tea in his hand, and suddenly said: "My sister just got up?" ”
Hua Xiyan was stunned, and seemed to be a little puzzled why Wang Qi suddenly came to such a sentence.
Wang Qi coughed lightly, and suddenly lowered his voice: "I was walking around here just now and saw the fifth prince, who seemed to have come out of my sister's courtyard. ”
Hua Xiyan was stunned, thinking of the casual rich man she had seen last night, and she was sure that last night was definitely the first meeting between the two of them.
"Wind Groan!"
Feng Yin immediately appeared, saluted a few people, and said, "Miss Hui, the fifth prince only stayed near the courtyard for a while, and never entered the courtyard. ”
That's it! Wang Qi knew that the comfort beside Hua Xiyan was given by Wen Xuanhou, so he also let go of his heart.
"Does the third brother think that the five princes are strange?" Hua Xiyan was so smart that he immediately guessed what Wang Qi was thinking.
"It's not strange, I just can't figure out what the purpose of the fifth prince's return to Beijing this time is."
"Oh? Third brother might as well talk about it? Huaxi Yandai raised her eyebrows, she was a little interested in this fifth prince.
It is said that when he was in the capital before, the five princes said that they did not like the wealth of the capital very much, and swore that they would not return to Beijing after leaving the capital. It has been the same for many years, and now suddenly returning to Beijing without warning will inevitably make people reverie. ”
Hua Xiyan blinked, and then smiled: "Third brother, don't worry, wait a while, you will be able to know." Besides, with the relationship between the second sister-in-law, the five princes will not pose any threat to the Wang family. ”
The biological mother of the fifth prince is today's Concubine Xiao Wan, and she is the sister of Xiao Yerong, Wang Huan's wife, so the fifth prince is Xiao Yerong's nephew, so it seems that the relationship with the Wang family is not shallow.
"Well, I know that." Wang Qi nodded, "It's just that I saw the Fifth Prince near your courtyard today, I'm afraid it will have any impact on you." ”
Hua Xiyan wondered, is it because of some things before, these people are a little too grassy? So he smiled lightly and joked: "Why doesn't the third brother think that the fifth prince is probably here to find his sister?" ”
Wang Qi frowned, turned his head to look at Wang Lan, whose hair was just tied up in a bunch and put on the back of his head, and he didn't look like a lady, touched his nose, and sighed: "Forget it." ”
Wang Lan only cares about teasing Wang Qingyu, how can she have the kung fu to take care of Wang Qi? So she just turned a deaf ear, anyway, she was used to the ridicule of these brothers.
A few people gossiped a few more words, Lu Yuan sent someone to pick up Wang Qingyu, Wang Lan was still a little reluctant to let go, so he hugged Wang Qingyu and sent it to Lu Yuan in person.
Wang Qi and Wang Jin also went to Wang Yan to discuss the sacrifice on the second day, so they also got up and left, and for a while, only Hua Xiyan was left in the breezy courtyard.
Knowing that Hua Xiyan hadn't eaten for a day, Wen Xia brought porridge and snacks and put them on the stone table.
Hua Xiyan picked up the spoon, and before the porridge was delivered to his mouth, he heard an idle voice behind him: "This prince is also hungry." ”
Hua Xiyan turned her head, and saw a person lying lazily and unvividly on her roof, looking at Hua Xiyan with her head tilted, or at the delicate snacks on her table.
"Could it be that no one has prepared dishes for the Five Princes?" Hua Xiyan threw down such a sentence and put a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, without the slightest intention of inviting the person on the roof to eat together.
"But it seems that Miss Er's porridge dessert seems to be more delicious."
As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the courtyard, except for the rustling sound of the cold wind blowing through the grass.
Ning Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking that this was not right, shouldn't this woman respectfully invite her down to dine together? As a result, he doesn't care about it now, what's the matter with eating so vigorously by himself?
"Could it be that Miss Wang Er didn't see this prince and was still hungry?" Ning Xi's voice suddenly became a little louder, and the tail tone was raised, with a touch of fierce momentum in it.
Huaxi smoke turned a deaf ear, and he ate happily.
Where did Ning Xi, who was held by others wherever he went, receive this treatment, he couldn't help but churn, his figure fell from the roof like a wild goose, staring at Huaxi Yan who was eating heavily, and spoke again: "Second Miss, is this looking down on this prince?" ”
Hua Xiyan put the last almond crisp in his mouth, raised his head contentedly, his bright eyes showed a touch of astonishment like breaking ice and snow, and quickly stood up, and said respectfully: "Why did the fifth prince keep a good gate and not leave, but he wanted to be on that roof?" It's so bad that I didn't recognize it and almost snubbed the five princes! ”
The sincerity on her face made Ning Xi suddenly a little speechless, thinking that you were not still calling the fifth prince just now, what are you doing now with such a turn of face and denying people?
Xu is because Hua Xiyan's face is very sincere and innocent, so because of her sincere tone, she is low and clear, so because of the bright eyes of the water, Ning Xi wants to question and blame the words so blocked in her throat, unable to spit out half a word.
Her posture is gentle, but she does not give people the posture of a weak willow supporting the wind, and her back is straight, revealing her inner tenacity and forbearance. The plain brocade dress on her body is fluttering, and the broken hair on her forehead will give people a flowing beauty.
Although I don't know how many beauties I have seen, today's Huaxi smoke still amazes Ning Xi.
Hua Xiyan covered his lips and coughed lightly, and suddenly raised his voice: "Ask Xia, didn't you see the five princes coming?" Why haven't you come out to clean up? ”
Wen Xia ran out of the inner room in a panic, saluted Ning Xi, and walked towards the small kitchen with the remaining plates on the stone table.
Ning Xi didn't lie, he was really hungry. And he likes to eat pastries very much, so when he just went around to play, he didn't move his feet when he saw the delicate pastries on the Huaxi cigarette table.
Hua Xiyan could see Ning Xi staring directly at the plate in Wen Xia's hand, but his face was as if he didn't know, thinking that he wanted to eat the pastries she made herself? Don't see if he's qualified!
"The fifth prince is here to find your brothers? It's just that the elder brother has just left, and the fifth prince is afraid that he will be empty. Hua Xiyan talked nonsense and successfully took Ning Xi's gaze back.
Ning Xi also knew that it was not so important for a prince to stare at other people's leftovers, so he covered his lips and coughed lightly, and then said, "This prince is here to find the second young lady." ”
Huaxi Yandai frowned, and asked in a clear voice: "Looking for me?" ”
Ning Xi nodded, suddenly approached Huaxi Yan, and said a little mysteriously: "This prince knows that there are a few geese in the mountain behind Huangzhao Temple, and if the goose eggs are roasted, they must be extremely delicious......"
"So what?"
"It's not interesting for this prince to eat alone, so I'm here to invite the second lady to come along!"
Hua Xiyan chuckled, thinking that this prince was really interesting, who invited the woman to go to the elegant restaurant to order a few high-end dishes, he was good, what did he think of roasted goose eggs?
"That goose is not ordinary like an ordinary goose, it grew up drinking the spiritual spring water in the mountain behind Huangzhao Temple, so the taste is delicious and can be imagined." Ning Xi said, blinking, and asked Hua Xiyan, "How is it?" ”
Hua Xiyan shrugged his shoulders and smiled slowly: "I'm afraid it's thanks to the love of the five princes, and the courtiers are not interesting." ”
After that, Hua Xiyan took two steps back and bent his knees slightly: "The little girl is a little unwell, and the fifth prince is self-sufficient." ”
Ning Xi was not surprised at all by the rejection, turned around, looked at her thin but straight back, and slowly spoke: "Second Miss is not the prince of this country, why are you very interested in returning to Beijing?" ”
Hua Xiyan immediately stopped, lowered his eyelashes, turned a thousand times in his heart, made up his mind in an instant, turned around and smiled: "Where is the fifth prince, how dare I question you, prince." ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Hua Xiyan's face became a little softer, and his voice slowly flowed like a clear spring in this elegant and small courtyard: "Good food and good wine are worthy of your identity as a prince!" ”
Hua Xiyan said, turned around and walked to the house, and when he came out again, he held a transparent jasper mandarin mouth high-bottomed wine jug in his hand, and it was faintly visible that there was liquid shaking in the pot, and the color of the jasper pot gradually changed, which was extremely eye-catching.
"Second Miss is really an elegant person!" Ning Xi seemed to be extremely satisfied with Hua Xiyan's decision, turned sideways slightly, and said, "Please!" ”
Hua Xiyan had a chuckle on his face, and followed Ning Xi out of the yard.
She had a good impression of Ning Xi, except that this person appeared last night to help Wang Qi, and because Xu was used to this person's debauchery and freedom, he did not have that uncomfortable royal arrogance.
Thinking of the Eight Princes of Xiling that I saw in Yuncheng, that appearance of being the only one in the world, it was really disgusting. In comparison, this fifth prince is much more likable.
"The second lady seems to have a complaint about this prince?" Hua Xiyan was thinking about it, and he heard such a sentence from the person next to him.
"Don't dare!" Hua Xiyan shook his head, looking sincerely frightened.
"Don't dare, it's boring." Ning Xi snorted coldly and glanced at Hua Xiyan obliquely, "I asked you to go and play with you when I saw that you were interesting, but you let me down!" ”
"Oh? What do the five princes think is interesting about me? "Can't I change it?
"I just think, what's there to explain." Ning Xi waved his hand lazily, looking unwilling to say more.
Hua Xiyan pursed his lips and kept silent.
"Otherwise, do you think that if those boring women are boring, who will go to that deserted place in the middle of the night to see people's private meetings?"
After a while, Ning Xi spit out such a sentence coldly, which seemed to be light and light, but it made Hua Xiyan raise his head suddenly, and the cold light in his eyes was very great, looking at him like a sharp sword.
