Chapter 13: Kites
On the twentieth of every month, Emperor Xie Jing will hold a family banquet at home, and the prince and princess will rush back as long as they are in the imperial city, no matter how busy they are.
Today is no exception, Changle Palace has changed from the deserted in the past and is lively.
When Ruyang and Xie Shaoqing arrived, everyone was almost there. Ruyang went to talk to the sisters, and Xie Shaoqing stood outside the Changle Palace and wandered for a while.
Changle Palace planted many peach blossoms, Xie Shaoqing often came here to see the peach blossoms since he could remember, although it was March, the peach blossoms were very red, the day was very long, and the sun set very late.
The fourth prince, Xie Boyu, patted Xie Shaoqing's arm and said, "What does the seventh brother think?" Why don't you go in yet. ”
Xie Shaoqing came back to his senses and said, "The fourth brother is here, then let's go in." ”
Xie Boyusheng's face was like a bright moon, and his body was long and jade, and the palace maids often secretly looked at him and rushed to his table to pour wine.
Ruyang was talking happily to other princesses, but Xie Boyu didn't notice it when she came, but Xie Shaoqing reminded her.
Xie Boyu teased and said: "Sister Lizhi, I don't recognize the fourth brother after only a few days of not seeing you." ”
Ru Yang said with a resentful face: "Fourth brother is really stingy, didn't you see it just now, and it wasn't intentional." ”
Xie Boyu laughed a few times "hahaha", the emperor Xie Jing came, and the palace quieted down. The princes and princesses stood up in turn and greeted Xie Jing.
Xie Jing said: "It's rare for everyone to go back to the palace, so don't be too restrained, everyone can play how they want." ”
The princes and princesses returned to their seats in turn to drink and eat, and Xie Jing, the queen, and the concubines sat together.
The princes toasted each other, and then toasted Xie Jing together. There are princes in the palace who have drunk too much and talk about it.
Xie Jing was very happy, his eyes were full of smiles.
After the banquet, the princes gathered together to throw pots, and the princesses played hairpins and grass.
Xie Jingchun was sleepy and went back to the palace, he was busy with state affairs a while ago and hadn't rested for a long time.
Zhan He, the father-in-law beside Xie Jing, said: "Your Majesty is really happy today." ”
Xie Jing said: "How did you do what I asked you to do, don't act rashly without my orders." ”
Zhan He said: "Everything is in accordance with Your Majesty's orders, she has settled well in Linjiang City, and she met with Princess Ruyang a few days ago." ”
Xie Jing said with a smile: "The two of them actually met, it's really a place in life where they don't meet." ”
Xie Jingjiu drank a little too much, and his steps were a little unsteady, Zhan He shouted behind him: "Your Majesty, be careful, there is a pillar in front." ”
Xie Jing bypassed the pillar and said with some slurred words: "I know, I saw it." ”
Xie Jing walked staggeringly, so frightened that Zhan He hurriedly supported him.
At the end of the day, the princes and princesses went back to their mansions in twos and threes. The fourth prince and Xie Shaoqing stopped by and went back together.
On the way back, Xie Boyu asked, "What have you been busy with in the past month, but I haven't seen you much." ”
Although Xie Shaoqing and this fourth brother grew up together, they didn't know each other very well, and when they saw Xie Boyu ask today, they replied: "I'm not busy with anything, my days are just wasted, and the fourth brother laughs." ”
Xie Boyu said with a smile: "If the seventh brother is free, he might as well come to the fourth brother's mansion and talk to the fourth brother." ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Then Shaoqing is welcome, go to the fourth brother's mansion another day to disturb the fourth brother." ”
The fourth prince chatted with Xie Shaoqing a few more words, Xie Shaoqing didn't speak much, and Xie Boyu separated from Xie Shaoqing at a fork. Xie Shaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yi said on the side: "Son, why do you look a little nervous, is it that you went to the Drunken Moon Tower to be discovered." ”
After hearing this, Xie Shaoqing knocked Zhang Yi's head: "What's wrong with me going to Zuiyue Tower, I didn't hide it." ”
Zhang Yi laughed a few times and whispered: "Call me when Gongzi goes back to Zuiyue Tower, I haven't seen Mrs. Jiang for many days." ”
After Xie Shaoqing heard this, he knocked Zhang Yi's head again and said, "You know Mrs. Jiang, you didn't hide from me and secretly went to see Mrs. Jiang, I said that you have nothing to do with it." After saying that, I couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Yi said dissatisfiedly: "Childe doesn't go every day." ”
Xie Shaoqing made a gesture to hit Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi didn't dare to speak, Xie Shaoqing's face was slightly red, and he sped up his pace and ignored Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi shouted from behind: "Son, why are you going so fast, you wait for me!" Xie Shaoqing walked faster when he heard this.
The next day, Chu fence and mountain smoke went to the outside of the city to go green, in March, the peach blossoms bloomed very well. is the so-called: flowing water and falling flowers go in spring, heaven and earth.
There is a hill outside the city, in the direction of the west side of the city, hence the name West Mountain. There is a spring at the foot of the west mountain, and people have built several pavilions next to the spring. Green bamboo and peach blossoms are planted on both sides of the pavilion, and there are many young people who come to play, and there are couples with children to fly kites.
There is a stream next to the pavilion, and after the breeze, the peach blossoms fall into the stream.
Chu Liang walked to the side of the stream and whispered to Shanyan: "You see there is a son over there, standing there, he looks so good!" ”
Shanyan looked in the direction of Chu Li's eyes, and whispered, "It's very good-looking." ”
Chu Liang said: "Why don't we take a closer look, this is a bit far away, and we can't see it clearly." ”
Shanyan whispered: "Girl, it's not good for you to be like this, if someone finds out, people will think that you don't have self-respect, girl." ”
Chu Liang said disappreciatively: "People shouldn't be so narcissistic and think I'm looking at him." ”
Shanyan couldn't persuade Chu Li, so he had to let her go.
Chu Liang took a closer look, and it turned out that the son of the Xuanyu was Xie Shaoqing. In Chu Li's heart, Chen Guan and Chen Yanzhi are in the same group, and Xie Shaoqing is always with Chen Guan, so ......
Chu Liang was about to turn around and leave, pretending not to see it. Xie Shaoqing took the initiative to greet Chu Liang, and Chu Liang smiled awkwardly: "Childe is good." ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "Did the girl come alone? ”
Chu Liang said: "No, you came with my maid, son, you are alone?" ”
Xie Shaoqing said: "No, I came with my sister, and she went to buy kites." ”
Chu Liang and Xie Shaoqing said a few words, and felt that Xie Shaoqing was not as annoying as he imagined, but a very gentle person.
After a while, Ruyang came back, and the maid behind him held two kites in her hands. Ruyang saw Chu Liang and said with a smile: "Miss Chu also came to Xishan to play, do you want to fly a kite together." ”
Chu Liang shook his head: "Princess, play, I won't." ”
Ruyang smiled: "I'll teach you well, kites are fun." ”
Chu Liang thought about it for a while and agreed. Chu Liang took the line and put the kite up under the guidance of Ruyang. Xie Shaoqing accompanied them on the side, without a trace of impatience. Chu Liang felt that Xie Shaoqing was lukewarm today, so he didn't say a word to her.
