Chapter 13: The Feast
Chapter 13: The Feast
The palace man poured the honey-colored tea into the cup.
What Xiao Dong has said to the third prince in the past few years, it is estimated that there are two hands, no, one hand can be counted without using one hand. It is to meet when you ask for peace in Changchun Palace, or meet in a nearby place, and greet each other. Speaking of which, Xiao Dong and the third princess have a little more to say, and the relationship is at least very harmonious with the sister-in-law on the surface.
"I heard that Qin Lie came to the capital."
Uh, he also knows Qin Lie?
Nonsense - they studied together in Jixian Hall, and they are barely classmates.
The news of the third prince is really well-informed, Qin Lie has only been back for two days.
She ...... How's it going? β
The third prince did not beat around the bush at all, and came up to see the mountain.
Xiao Dong hesitated, did he pretend to be stupid or stunned, or did he talk about it left and right?
In the end, Xiao Dong said: "She is very good, she lives elsewhere, and someone takes care of her." β
The look on the face of the third prince at that moment...... Xiao Dong can't describe it.
It is like joy and sorrow, but it is hidden under the mask of calm.
After being washed by the river for an unknown number of years, the exposed riverbed is not full of holes, but smooth as a mirror.
Yes, he looks calm.
"That's good."
These three words are plain and prosaic.
Xiao Dong suddenly had a sour nose inexplicably, and lowered his eyes to look at the cup of tea in front of him.
The tea mist curls, and the black lacquered desktop is like a mirror, reflecting Xiaodong and the faces of the three princes.
It's just that...... It's not clear, it's blurry.
"There's Sister Lao Xiaodong." He didn't say anything else, told someone to send her out, and left.
Xiao Dong was stunned for a long time.
If he is not a prince...... In other words, if it is not the queen's concubine, maybe things are different.
But that's the way it is, where do so many ifs, maybe.
The third prince and Yao Jinfeng are not destined to be people on the same road.
There was this little episode, and when the three princesses invited them to enjoy the flowers again, Xiaodong was inexplicably coughed, and his heart was empty.
In fact, she has some good intentions, her cousin just asks two words, she has nothing to be ashamed of her cousin-in-law. Even if the third prince and Yao Jinfeng had a period before, it was already in the past, the third prince married a wife, and Yao Jinfeng was about to get married. Even if it's hard to settle downβthat......
Then she still has a weak heart.
Xiao Dong wondered if he was looking for an excuse to push it off, but Zhao Zhi came to the door early that morning to rob someone: "I knew that you were too lazy to do it, and when the weather was hot, I couldn't wait to plant yourself in the water as a lotus." Let's go around, or if you get to the place, I'll ask you to find a bed for you to sleep in. β
"Don't talk about it, I'll just get up." Xiao Dong was torn and screamed, and had to comb his hair and change his clothes.
"You can change a pair of pendants, didn't you have a pair of pendants with gold and steel diamonds last time I saw you? Why don't you wear that? β
"It's so hot this day, wearing that one will make people's eyes shine." And it's sinking. In the end, Xiaodong only wore pearls.
"You said that you always wear such plain clothes, didn't you get the tribute from that Fanbang in the spring...... What's that called? β
"Ginrasa."
"yes, I see everyone else wearing, what about you? Crushed in a box waiting to feed the bugs? β
"You're not wearing it either."
"My ......," Zhao Zhi said stupidly, "let my sister-in-law go." β
"If she wants you to give it?"
"It's just that if you don't give it to her, there will be others staring at it, it's better to give it to her, my ears are still quiet." Zhao Zhi threw herself on her back: "How good your family is, you are the only one, and no one always robs you of anything." β
During the Chinese New Year, she made a new silk cotton jacket, and the first time she put it on her body, she was splashed with oil, and her good clothes were wasted.
Xiao Dong patted the back of her hand: "I don't like that yarn very much, you have to like it, come back and have someone send it to you, you can make a skirt to wear." β
"Forget it, that's too dazzling, the head of my family is like a wolf, and I don't know which eye it fell into when I sent it."
They got out of the car and entered the door, and the third princess came out.
"The two sisters are late."
Her eyes were clear, and she looked very open. Xiao Dong always felt that her gaze seemed to have a penetrating power, as if nothing could be hidden in front of her.
Although I don't care about it, I always have a little pimple in my heart.
Zhao Zhi grinned: "Yes, what is delicious and delicious, I got up early in the morning and came on an empty stomach." β
The third princess invited a lot of people this time, Zhao Zhi looked left and right, and suddenly pointed in one direction: "Look, who is that?" β
Xiao Dong turned his head to lookβuh, isn't this Miss Wang Yinglan?
"Why is she here? By the way, I haven't seen her before. β
Zhao Zhizhen was not ambiguous, and came as soon as she opened her mouth: "I went home and asked, she has only been in the capital for half a year, and she has been living in her hometown before." β
"No, it looks like he grew up in the capital."
Zhao Zhi pulled Xiaodong: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." β
"Pull it down." Xiao Dong didn't go: "Don't you hate her?" Why do you want to find yourself unhappy? β
"If you don't go, I'll go, anyway, I'll see it when I listen to the play later, I'll see if she still has her eyes on the top of her head."
Today, I also invited a singing and dancing team, and there is also a drama troupe, the three princesses are thoughtful, Yishui's all-female class, there is an old pianist who is a man, and the hair is all white, Xiaodong is impatient to watch the play, Zhao Zhi and her want to go together: "Let's go listen to the tune." β
"There's nothing new about it, it still sounds like that."
"You are used to the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and you listen to the golden voices of Qin Nu and Red Sleeves, of course you can't look down on these ordinary things. But I heard that there is a new guy today, and he sings Nanqu very well. β
Nanqu Tu Zi is different from the official dialect, it sounds crisp and vivid, and Xiao Dong only understands half of it. The girl who sang the song was only about ten years old, combed with a row of black eaves flowing into the sea, melon seed face, dark and bright eyes, very delicate.
Xiao Dong thought she was beautiful and cute, asked her to sit down, asked someone to pour tea, and asked, "What's your name?" How long have you been in the workshop? Who is your master? β
"The master called me Xiaoyu, I came in last year, and the master is Qin Nu."
Zhao Zhi was surprised: "It was taught by Qin Nu?" No wonder it sings well. By the way, I heard that you still have a fourth girl there? How is she singing? β
"The four girls sing well, we can't compare." Xiaoyu's face was full of admiration: "My master values her and doesn't let her come out to socialize, so that she can prepare for her life and wait for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival to be a blockbuster." β
After sending her away, Zhao Zhi whispered, "Does Qin Nu have any intention of retreating?" This is a junior sister and an apprentice ......"
This is not unusual, many people in the church are looking for a way out while they are young, or they will look for a way back when they are old and decrepit and squeezed out by others, which is not good.
"Where are the two sisters? Make it easy for me to find. β
The third princess came in with a slight smile, and Xiao Dong and Zhao Zhi stood up.
The third princess was followed by two women, and she pointed to the one on the left and said, "This is Miss Wang." β
Wang Yinglan said: "I have seen two county lords. But as soon as she looked up, she suddenly stared at the two people in front of her as if she had been pricked by a needle.

It feels like winter is so long-
Wriggle and ask for a ticket.
