The Millennium Pool in the Imperial Garden is lush with green trees, a fresh breeze and rippling water. At the banquet in the Linbo Pavilion, the daughters shook the clouds and temples, the eyebrows were dotted with flowers, or they wore half-arm shawls, and the jade arms were coagulated and clothed with colorful xia; or wear a waist-length skirt with a collar, and leave white snow on the chest; or transparent light gauze to add the body, and the Qiluo strands can see the skin...... Neon clothes and feathers, the group of fragrant and beautiful, the fragrant breeze is charming, and the warbler sings and swallows.

Huaxi looked at the women who were laughing and playing together by the pool, and secretly sighed that when the Xiyue people were unrestrained and bold, they admired their unbridled beauty.

Before the banquet opened, everyone saluted the queen, and the queen introduced Huaxi to the guests present, and pointed out to her the concubines, the second princess and the wives of each family, and the eldest princess was pregnant and about to give birth and could not attend. After the introduction, the queen beckoned the second princess to accompany her, and said, "You and the girls are lively", and did not leave Huaxi by her side, so she went to the concubines and wives to chat.

Among the remaining two groups of people, there are two people who know Huaxi, one is Gu Lina, who once framed her, and the other is Xun Rou, who almost whipped her that day. But these two seem to be in two camps.

After the queen left, everyone was watching, but no one took the lead in talking to Huaxi, and they seemed to be looking at Xun Rou's face. Even if he wanted to step forward, he was stopped by the person next to him.

Huaxi glanced at everyone and smiled, "Bailan, you accompany me around here, and come back after the banquet is held in a while." ”

Bai Lan lowered her eyebrows and replied, "Yes, County Lord." ”

Gu Lina walked out of a group of women playing with cattails and beckoned to Huaxi, who bowed her head but didn't plan to come up.

The pink-clothed girl beside Gu Lina whispered a few words to Gu Lina, and Gu Lina was about to walk towards Huaxi, but she didn't take two steps but stopped and didn't step forward again.

"If you don't go with them, where are you going?"

A person suddenly appeared on Huaxi's side, which startled her, the person who came was in her twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly pouting lips, and her facial features were not feminine, with three points of heroism, combing her fallen bun, round neck, chest embroidered with white peony and lotus silk waist-length pomegranate skirt, pink chest half-covered, tied with wide-brimmed flowers and birds wrapped with branches and jewels and jade gemstones, shining in the sun, glamorous.

Huaxi opened his mouth and asked, "Are you ......?" ”

The woman grinned, "Well, in terms of seniority, I should be your little aunt." That day, the chick ran too fast with you, and when I arrived, you were already gone. ”

It turned out to be Princess Yizhen. Isn't she good friends with Xun Rou? How do you take the initiative to come and talk to yourself?

Huaxi blessed her body, "aunt"

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite." Yi Zhen smiled and called Xun Judo, "Xun Rou, don't you have something to say to Lord Jingxian?" ”

Xun Rou was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over and said in a low voice: "Lord Jingxian, what happened last time was that I was reckless and beat people without asking, which frightened you." The queen mother also scolded me afterwards...... I hope you have a lot of adults, don't be surprised. ”

The queen reprimanded you, that's your own business, what does it have to do with me, but tell me not to be surprised? If it were ordinary people, the girl would not say the word "apology" if she was whipped.

Xun Rou apologized so reluctantly, Huaxi would not accept it.

Xun Rou already knew her identity, but at first she still put on a posture to isolate herself, and now she came to apologize because of Yi Zhen's words, and she knew at a glance that it was not her original intention. What's more, she is a member of the queen's mother's family, and she is not a person from the same way, so there is no need to be false with her.

If it is said that the queen, Huaxi still has some concerns, afraid that it will affect the king of faith. But Xun Rou, the daughter of a scholar, was rude first, so why didn't she dare to offend.

Hua Xi nodded slightly, "It's no wonder, that whip was blocked by the fifth brother after all." If the girl wants to apologize, she can go to find the fifth brother. The girl was heroic that day, but it made Huaxi remember it deeply. However, I hope that in the future, the girl's reckless behavior will be very rare. Otherwise, if you don't intend to be stabbed to the imperial history one day, I'm afraid that it will affect Lord Lingzun's official reputation. ”

Xun Rou's face was embarrassed, because Yi Zhen was not good at being present, and Yi Zhen, who had always been with her, did not say anything to help, but just looked at it coldly, with a little exploration in her eyes.

Xun Rou Zhiyi was really heading towards Huaxi, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it, "Thank you for the reminder."

"If my aunt has nothing to do, I'll go elsewhere first." Huaxi Chong Xun Rou and Yizhen nodded, turned around and walked away.

Yi Zhen caught up, "I want to have a banquet...... It is estimated that it will have to wait until the imperial brother comes. I came over from the Qinzheng Palace just now, and the imperial brother is meeting with the Dahua envoy, and he won't be able to come for a while. It's the first time you've entered the palace, anyway, it's okay at this time, I'll take you for a walk around. With that, Yi Zhen took Huaxi's hand and walked towards the forest.

As soon as the two left, everyone looked at each other.

Gu Lina raised her eyebrows and glanced at the woman beside her, glanced at Xun Rou, who was pale, and said softly: "I really don't know who doesn't have long eyes to say that Princess Yizhen has a dislike with the county lord Jingxian?" ”

"Yes, these two people are obviously fine, but the princess took the initiative to talk to the county lord just now......"

"Hey, what a good opportunity, I didn't make friends with the county lord, it's all because you stopped me......"

Xun Rou walked up beside her, and a woman in blue asked in a low voice, "Third sister, didn't you say that the princess would arrive in a while, why did she arrive at this time?" What did you just talk about? Is it the princess who found out that you are embarrassed by the county lord Jingxian in private? ”

"It's for that day's whipping" Xun Rou looked at the direction the two of them left and snorted lightly, "...... It doesn't hurt to find out. My aunt was already dissatisfied with this foreign county lord, and the tone she gave these people was also what my aunt meant, and I couldn't blame it. You didn't see it just now, and my aunt was happy to see it. As for the princess, when she came back in a while, I took the trouble to explain it. ”

At this time, Huaxi and Yizhen walked through the willow forest, and Yizhen said: "You don't have to pay attention to those people, they are just some people who are timid and afraid of things when they see the wind." ”

Huaxi said casually: "Instead of being perfunctory and tired of coping, it is better to do this, saving a lot of trouble." ”

"Well, I don't like to play with these nonsense." Yi Zhen broke a wicker stick and played with it, "I met Xun Rou because of the horse competition, and she is also a master who refuses to suffer, I just look at her as a straightforward person, more than those who are vain to meet my appetite." ”

Huaxi disagreed: "True temperament or pampering? Opinions vary. What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the sea is difficult to measure......"

Yi Zhen agreed, and shrugged indifferently, "Maybe...... After all, it's just a like-minded outsider...... I heard my brother say that Dahua girls are raised in boudoirs, and they can't easily show their heads, let alone ride and shoot. You don't know how to ride a horse? ”

Huaxi nodded, "No"

Yi Zhen raised his eyebrows and said: "My Beixun Bono family is from the grassland, how can the women on the grassland not know how to ride horses?" ”

Hua Xi said noncommittally: "Gu Lina also said something like this. It seems that I can't do it without learning to ride a horse. ”

"Well, it's time to learn, you can't ride a horse alone in the autumn hunt, and you will be looked down upon by people at that time, and even the prestige of your father, the iron-blooded prince, will be damaged. No, the Xinwang Mansion is all big and coarse, and there is no suitable person, forget it, I'll teach you another day. ”

Yizhen warmly invited Huaxi to go to her horse farm in Yuxian County, south of Tiandu, another day, and taught her equestrian alone. ()
