193 Mental arithmetic and unintentional
But later, I saw him sitting in the study and drinking wine by himself...... "Strong and lonely like Princess Anping, I still couldn't help crying."
Du Mingxin put the handkerchief on the stone on the side of the path and pulled her to sit down.
"I know that his Hou Mansion and his Lin family are very important to him. The old marquis passed away when he was a child, and what he has listened to in the past ten years, and what the master's family has taught, is to prosper the marquis mansion and inherit the Lin family. Otherwise, how could he risk being scolded by Qingshi to defect to his father? Otherwise, how could he happily say that he wants to marry me......"
"You can't say that!" Du Mingxin interrupted Princess Anping's words, "Why do you doubt yourself because of this matter, because of this groundless accusation from others?" If you're not a princess, you're still you, and the pony will still respect you and love you! ”
Princess Anping shook her head, closed her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down. "You are so good, beautiful, smart and capable, you can make the Jin Wangfu up and down by yourself...... But he didn't decide to divorce you and marry me...... If I weren't a princess, how could someone as arrogant as him take me to heart? ”
Du Ming's heart was silent, and only then did she know that Princess Anping was so affectionate to Lin Lang. Because of his words and actions, he was sad to this point, and he denied himself in such a hurry.
"Sooner or later, we will have to retire from our original family affairs. I got married because Mrs. Tai had a little affection with my mother back then, and after the Shen family was gone, my father never raised me carefully. Lin Lang's wife wants to be a clan wife, filial piety to the elders, and the middle feed and personal contacts of the Hou Mansion, where can I do it as a girl who grew up in the countryside? Now that I take care of the Jin Palace, it's just because the prince and I are the same, they grew up in the countryside, he doesn't care about the good or the bad, where will others say anything about me? ”
"He doesn't care...... Princess Anping sighed and said with red eyes, "Yes, if Lin Lang really doesn't care about this, how can he hurt me like this." ”
Du Ming glanced at her worriedly, did he obey his heart and be a "jealous woman", or did he bed himself for the sake of that little "virtuous" reputation? If it were herself, she wouldn't know what to do.
"Let's go back," Princess Anping wiped away her tears, looked up and blinked her eyes a few times, and after taking a few deep breaths, her mood gradually returned to normal, "I don't want some people to see me like this." ”
"Then you must open some yourself, relax, the child will definitely have it." Du Mingxin shook her hand and comforted her softly.
"yes, I know." Princess Anping nodded casually, "Tell you about it, and I can feel more relaxed." What can be done, everything depends on God. ”
Back at the pavilion by the lotus pond, Deng Wenjiao said angrily: "Where did you two run away!" Lunch has already been set up in Cui Lang Xuan, just waiting for you to come back! ”
"Let's go, then." Princess Anping said expressionlessly.
Deng Wenjiao pouted, she was most annoyed to see Princess Anping's appearance, as if who was more noble than whom!
"I added a dish of roasted venison to lunch, which was beaten by Brother Fang Cai and them in the back mountain, and even my cousin got on the horse and shot two arrows!"
Deng Wenjiao likes to replace the royal title with the title of relatives, intentionally or unintentionally showing his closeness with the prince and queen.
Xu Yuan ran to Du Mingxin's side at this time, took her arm and said with a smile: "I'm in May, sister, you come to be a praiser for me!" ”
Du Mingxin looked at Princess Anping next to him with a smile and said, "There is a princess here, what are you looking for me!" ”
"I originally wanted to invite the princess and the two of you," Xu Yuan said with his fingers crossed, "one is the master and the other is the praiser." But when she came, the princess said that she was not blessed, and asked me to come and beg you. ”
Du Mingxin knew that Princess Anping's heart was sick, so he didn't say anything, only nodded in response.
With a hostess like Deng Wenjiao here, a meal is tasteless. Everyone seemed to think that this dish was delicious, and they all ate it seriously, as if they were eating at home, following the rule of "eating without words".
At this time, the kitchen sent another pheasant and mushroom soup, and a few little maids stepped forward to serve soup to everyone, but the one next to Xu Yuan accidentally spilled the soup on her skirt.
"Ahh Deng Wenjiao screamed in surprise.
Xu Yuan got up and shook her skirt, feeling that there was no feeling on her legs, but the soup was dripping down her skirt, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"It's out of the way, I'll just go change it." Xu Yuan glanced at the little maid who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and said lightly.
"Blind minion, why don't you hurry up and thank Miss Xu for her grace?" Deng Wenjiao scolded the maid.
"Please also ask my sister to send someone to bring a place to change clothes." Xu Yuan's skirt was attached to her legs, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Just go ahead," Deng Wenjiao pointed to the maid who spilled the soup, "Give you a chance to make amends." ”
Xu Yuan didn't think much about it, so she took her two maids and followed the little maid to the back. Xu Yuan saw that she had walked out a lot, so she asked, "Isn't there a place to change clothes near the place where you have a banquet?" Why go so far? ”
The little girl hurriedly replied: "This Zhuangzi was renovated by the eldest prince some time ago, and there are two houses next to Cui Langxuan, but there are a lot of things to clean up the lotus pond in them. The eldest prince said that Chongyang would ask someone to clear the lotus pond, so everything in it was not cleaned up, and it was not good to ask the nobles to go in. ”
Xu Yuan nodded in disbelief and motioned for her to continue leading the way. Today, the princess and Du Mingxin are here, and there is Chen Xi outside, so she will not suffer a big loss.
At last, the maid stopped at a three-room tiled house. This tiled house not only has a fence wall, but also a lot of spices are planted in the small courtyard, and in the golden autumn season, the smell is very refreshing.
Xu Yuan's mood improved a little, and she took the maid in to change into the clean clothes prepared in the baggage, and then came out to go back to Cuilangxuan.
As soon as she got out, Xu Yuan saw Deng Hong sitting at the stone table under the wisteria trellis in the small courtyard, pouring himself fragrant tea.
Xu Yuan knew in his heart, it turned out that he was waiting for him here. She is not afraid of Deng Hong, and Hengzhi used to be common in Jinzhong.
She stepped forward and saluted, and after a few faint greetings, she was about to leave.
At this time, Deng Hong handed over a cup of fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Why should Sister Yuan be in a hurry? I specially cooked this tea for my sister, why don't you taste it before leaving? ”
He got up, stretched out his hand and made a "please" motion.
