In the army, he often has little time to practice, and this time he rarely had a few days of leisure, so he could bring Qiantong to hunt, and he also took advantage of his leisure to have a picnic with her.

King Rong has been stationed in Xibitan outside Yang County for several years, that Hui Qiantong has not yet been born, because Yucheng is in the west of Yang County, and the fast horse between Xibitan is only more than half a day's journey, when he dragged his family to the station, he was reluctant to suffer on the tidal flats with his wife and children, so he arranged the palace in the palace of King Rong in Yucheng.

The garrison was sent because of the frequent turmoil in the west, and the war stations continued for many years, and the vitality of the tribe in the northwest that was most feared by the imperial court after this battle was greatly damaged.

King Rong looked at his daughter who was drinking boiled porridge, and his heart was overflowing with warmth.

Originally, he didn't plan to return to Beijing so soon, although the capital is prosperous, how can he have his own fiefdom to stay comfortable, and he is used to being rude in the army, so he really can't stand the strength of the officialdom in Beijing.

In fact, he just doesn't want to go to court every day.

But because Yu Qian was confused into Jin Wuwei, the two places in Beijing and Yu are far away, the army is not a discipline that can come and go at will, Yu Qian is a non-family character, it is really rare to see a few times a year, and his daughter has no playmates in this Yu City, and he can't accompany him from time to time, thinking that there are more female dolls of the same age in the capital, he has to consider returning to Beijing.

At dusk, the group slowly stepped on the way back to the city.

When I returned to the house, it was already night, and the hunting picnic was covered in smoke and dust during the day, and everyone put everything in place and cleaned it up.

The lights were lit up in the Thousand Star Garden, and the maid and woman stood back and forth on the corridor, and sometimes a few birds chirped, but it was quiet.

The water vapor in the bathroom was steaming, someone had already prepared the fragrant soup, Qiantong was standing by the bath and was served by the cherry plum to distribute the clothes, the cherry was behind her to comb her hair, the plum was half-squatting to remove her coat, and suddenly "huh".

Qiantong heard her voice, lowered her eyes, and saw that she was holding the sachet she had brought on her body today.

Today, the things on Qiantong's body were all put on by the two of them, and at this time, this sachet seemed to contain something, but she remembered that when she hung it up before going out today, she only put some dried flowers, and the weight in this sachet was not like the weight of dried flowers.

Qiantong knew what Li Zi was wondering about, but he didn't speak, only reached out and took the sachet.

The sachet opened, revealing the red rope entangled, and she took it out, and her white and tender hands played with the dirty Yuanpei, and the sachet with excellent embroidery was thrown to the ground casually.

Cherry Plum looked at the jade pendant, although she was strange about its origin, and looked dirty, she was a little worried when she saw the master holding it in her hand, and hesitated to stop it, but she knew that Qiantong had always had an idea, and her temper was not allowed to be talked about, so she continued to work silently.

The slender white jade body gradually sank into the water, stirred a pool of petals, the thin shoulders exposed the water, stained with a few pieces, the flawless skin and the rouge petals set off each other, in the mist, so that people could not see her delicate eyebrows, but for no reason they wanted to explore.

Cherry sat on her knees on the edge of the pool, brushing her long hair, and Plum was scooping water on the other side as she cleaned it carefully.

The eyes of the two looked at the jade pendant held in Qiantong's hand from time to time, although the jade pendant was a good jade material, but she Yuyang County Lord had never seen anything good, how could she look at such a clumsy jade carving and couldn't take her eyes off, because she really didn't understand why the master held it and didn't let it go, and even held it in the bath.

Qiantong didn't look at Yu Pei like they thought, but she just looked at it and was stunned.

She couldn't say why she brought this jade pendant back, it stands to reason that she wouldn't even look at such a thing, but for some reason, she saw the polished and even slightly distorted jade pendant, as well as the unfamiliar craftsmanship, but she inexplicably liked it, and her heart moved, so she brought it back.

didn't care, just washed the jade pendant with the pool water, got up and wiped the body dry by the two maids, and also wiped the jade pendant dry by the way.

Changed into a bed coat, sat obediently in front of the dressing table and slowly dried his hair by Li Zi, seeing the little master's well-behaved appearance, Li Zi's hand movements became more and more gentle.

Cherry gave her the balm powder in front, and when she saw that she was still stroking the jade pendant of unknown origin, she couldn't help laughing, "The little master will not put it down, is it possible to sleep with this jade pendant?" ”

Qiantong glanced at her lightly, snorted lightly, and then took a palm-sized box from the dressing table, put the jade pendant in it, and put it carefully.

Seeing her like this, Cherry also chuckled, she knew Qiantong's temper, knew that she wouldn't mind such a joke, so she dared to laugh at her with confidence.

Fireworks in March.

The county's tribute arrived in the mansion today, the population of the mansion is simple, one of the three masters is in the Jingbei camp, and one is a military general who does not like to take care of mundane things.

King Rong arranged like this, one is that he really loves his daughter, and everything comes first to her, and the other is because there are no female dependents in the palace, and he has no idea of continuing the strings, because no one can teach her the skills that some women in the inner house need to master, although there are a few dowry ladies and grandmothers left by his wife, but no one can teach her like a mother, so he let her deal with the storage of these items earlier.

Yangjun is close to Xisai, so there are often horse caravans of Hu merchants who trade in Yangjun, exchanging tea, silk, porcelain and other items with merchants from the Central Plains with jewelry, fruits and vegetables from the Western Regions and some rare gadgets.

And the best of these items were all paid as tribute, some of them were sent to the palace, and the rest were naturally sent to King Rong's mansion.

There are a mouthful of boxes in a row in Qianxingyuan, it is the items that have been offered this time, and there are a few housekeepers standing on the side, all of whom were brought up by the former princess Rong's marriage or hand-picked up, because Qiantong is young and prefers to stay with young people, so only a few ladies are in charge of their own affairs, and they don't need to serve her.

Qiantong wears a lake green light gauze shirt, a silk skirt embroidered with a light goose yellow embroidered narcissus, and a long red knot is tied around the waist to wear a pressure skirt, which matches the clothes, just like the flowers in the green bushes in spring, the bright girl combs her hair with a hanging bun, and the tassels on the top of her hair are gently swaying with the movements, and there is a piece of impatiens between the eyebrows, which makes the girl's beautiful eyebrows and eyes as fresh as butterflies among flowers.

At this time, the girl walked around the open box like wearing flowers, she loved to see the strange objects brought from the Western Regions, and the dioras sent back to her were particularly fond of her, compared to the bronze mirror to shine on the person very clear, delicate, but there was only such a piece at that time, and her father left it to her, not even in the palace.

This time, there are a few more pieces, some are made into makeup mirrors, and there is one made into a small palm mirror, the size of the rouge box is thinner, and there are two round mirrors inside after opening, the shell is carved with intricate silk patterns, inlaid with a few thumb cover size of red sapphires, exquisite, Qiantong saw it at a glance, and called Lin Niangzi, who was in charge of the warehouse on the side, to register and directly put the mirror into the purse.

She already had a crush on this, and the mirror was delicate and small, so it was easy to carry around.

She didn't care much about the jewelry or anything, and she still used it in the end anyway. However, there were two bamboo baskets on the side, containing some fruits and seeds of plants from the Western Regions such as courgettes, peppers, carrots, etc., and she was a little interested.

Pointing to the two baskets, he said, "Divide these courgettes, peppers and walnuts and send them to the camp in Jingbei, and say that it is Saigon this year, and my father asked me to send it." She knew that he would not accept the things she sent, so she only asked her father's people to send them, but she muttered to herself, "The conditions in the army are difficult, and we are no longer in the capital, so we will send more food to improve the food." ”

He continued to order, "And those dried fruits and tribute melon grapes, also send them together, remember to put the ice pad," the melons and fruits of the Western Regions are extremely sweet, but the fruits are inconvenient to transport, and the tribute melons are easy to say, and the dried grapes also have a unique flavor, but the fresh fruits are difficult to preserve, so they can only be transported to Beijing with ice and fast horses.

"There is also the pepper sauce in the house," Yangjun borders the southwest, and the taste is quite spicy, and it prefers fresh and spicy taste, but Jingzhong is not inclined to spicy taste, and it is mostly dry chili," brother...... Brother he loves spicy food, and the taste of Jingzhong must not be to his liking. But he did not dare to call out the title.

She arranges in a rambling manner, but it is not annoying, but a smart energy, which makes people happy.

Only that silent call made the few secret guards who knew her best in the dark feel distressed.

In the study of Huaiyuan, Yu Huaiyin was sitting upright next to the wide sandalwood bookcase, holding a letter from Beijing in his hand, one hand was circled on the edge of the teacup, and his eyes were as quiet as water to see his thoughts clearly.

In addition to the eldest son Xiao Shuyu, there are eight other princes, the second prince Xiao Shuyun and the third prince Xiao Shulang are respectively from the virtuous second concubine, the fourth son and the sixth son died early, and the remaining five or seven or eight princes are all concubines under Zhaoyi, only one is a six-year-old Nine Emperor Son, the biological mother is the daughter of the British princess, the imperial concubine who favors the sixth palace, the mother concubine is favored, the mother family is powerful, and he is pleasing to himself, and no one in the harem has an heir since the ninth prince, and the saint loves this young son very much.

Although the British prince was born as a military general, but because his daughter was favored in the palace, in order to avoid its edge, he took the initiative to hand over the military power, and the British prince also took the road of the imperial examination, and served as a waiter in the household department, and the same six departments are also high and low, the household department is undoubtedly better, and it is also the emperor's return to the British public knowledge of current affairs, the British prince is also more than half a hundred years old, just waiting for his son to stabilize in the court to be able to ask for the prince to inherit the title. The emperor dotes on the imperial concubine and loves his young son, so that although he has already set up a prince, he can't help but make arrangements for his youngest son, at least so that after a hundred years, his young son and concubine will not suffer due to the impact of the change of dynasty.

The two most prestigious generals in the army, one is the British duke, and the other is the younger but more prestigious King Rong, King Rong is a loyal monarch, neither the prince nor the prince can be wooed, but his son can deal with him, after all, the Rong Wangfu will definitely stand on the side of the monarch, and it is impossible to help the Nine Emperors overthrow the crown prince, but they can protect the Nine Emperors when they lose the protection of the emperor.

Therefore, the emperor let Yu Qian confuse Jin Wuwei as a leader, and at the same time led an envoy to teach the martial arts of the Nine Emperor Princes.

At this time, what King Rong had in his hand was the news that Yu Qianfu had brought back from Beijing.

The tea became cooler and cooler, and the mist of the fragrant tea gradually dissipated, leaving only the cool cups.

"The ...... of the Nine Emperors"

At this time, Jingzhong was also covered with a layer of ethereal fog, which made people unable to open it and guess it.

Xiao Shuyu was sitting in the pavilion in the garden of the Senate Mansion, holding a sunspot in his two fingers, falling lightly on the chessboard, his eyelids drooped and covered half of his eyes, cold and indifferent, the feather white deep clothes were tied with green ribbons, and the wind blew into the pavilion, bringing up a long belt, and the white clothes moved, like an immortal out of the dust.

There were also two distinct knuckle fingers, which were dropping Baizi in another place, and a low and cold voice said, "Chess is the most taboo, you lose." ”

But it was Yu Qianfu, the same dark robe as usual, with silver threads tattooed with the pattern of waves crashing on the shore, and his father-like eagle eyes looked coldly at the person opposite.

Shaking his head with a chuckle, Xiao Shuyu finally put the remaining chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, with some confusion in his eyes.

"Ziliang, I think you're going to start entering the palace to teach the Nine Emperor Brothers in the near future." In the past two months, he often talked and sat opposite Yu Qianfu, and he knew each other a lot, and he naturally called his words at this time.

Yu Qian knew what he was thinking, but he didn't mention anything, he just nodded, "Five days later." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Shuyu was even more confused, holding his forehead with one hand and propping it on the table, "Do you know, what is going on?" ”

After all, he is still a twelve-year-old boy, even if he is a highly praised prince, he is not deep enough in the end, and he is facing his father, it is inevitable that he has some thoughts as a child, he doesn't know if his father is dissatisfied with his son, or has any opinions on him as a prince, why not only let him be friendly with Yu Qianfu, but also let the Nine Emperor Brothers follow Yu Qianfu to learn art?

The warm sun is shining, the roads in the capital are wide and open, and there are many people who plant graceful willows in front of the door, and when the spring breeze blows, they stretch their waists.

There is also such a tree in front of the Consulate's Mansion, the branches are still moving in the wind, and the door of the mansion is slowly opened, and the young man in white walks out of the door, and the hair that flies in the spring breeze blows on his face, and the knots between the eyebrows are scattered, leaving only the young man who is like jade, and he walks back to the palace on a horse.

East Palace.

The green robe washed inkstone was quietly served behind the gold-inlaid ebony chair, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had bathed in the bath, was half-reclining on the chair, and his calm face was no longer gloomy.

Xiao Shuyu glanced at the teacup and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth.

Now, he doesn't have to rely on this tea to calm his nerves.
