Chen Xi's face sank again, and said, "So many female dependents have brought their own unmarried girls, why do you say?" ”

"To see each other!" Du Mingxin tiptoed over a begonia bud that stretched out to Chen Xi's ear, and sniffed it lightly, but the flower had not yet bloomed, but there was a trace of fragrance coming out.

Chen Xi saw that she didn't listen to herself well, so he tore off a flower bud and stuffed it into her hand, and then said: "The queen wants to take a good look and decide on a few candidates for marriage, so that the emperor can give her marriage in the future." There are a lot of men from all over the family who are not married, and you run around so that people can see it, but how is it good? ”

Du Mingxin looked at the buds in his palm, and was very depressed: "This flower hasn't bloomed yet, so you picked it off......"

Chen Xi said: "Do you remember what you just said?" ”

Du Mingxin glanced at him, and then smiled: "Then you don't have to run around!" In the past, there were a lot of people who coveted your beauty, and now there are so many noble daughters who have not yet decided to marry, if you run around and let people see it, how can it be good? ”

"Strong words!"

"I'm impatient to talk to you like this!" Du Mingxin was also annoyed when he saw that he had been so stinky and refused to speak. She lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on Chen Xi's feet fiercely, and then beckoned to the two maids: "Spring grass, summer leaves, let's go!" ”

The two maids looked at the small footprints on Chen Xituan's new dark satin shoes, and felt that it was safer to hurry up and follow their own girl.

"Du Mingxin, you stop me!" Chen Xi said angrily, dodged and stopped in front of Du Mingxin in two steps.

Du Mingxin raised his head and glared at him: "How are you doing?" ”

At this time, a warm spring breeze blew, stirring the bangs on Du Ming's forehead and the hair next to her ear, and the scar on her right ear, which was still a little red, was revealed.

When Chen Xi saw it, his heart throbbed. He reached out and stroked it lightly, and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Du Mingxin raised his hand and knocked down his hand, and said angrily: "Don't worry about it!" ”

Chen Xi sighed, stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, no matter how Du Mingxin beats, he just won't let go.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you have been humiliated like this......" Chen Xi muttered in her ear.

"Then you're still so fierce to me!" Du Mingxin twisted his waist fiercely.

"I, I don't know how to tell you......" Chen Xi still hugged her tightly, "Originally, the palace didn't plan to call you to Taiping Yuan this time, but later I heard that Deng Wenjiao begged again and again in front of the queen, saying that he wanted to take this opportunity to reconcile with you." ”

"Deng Wenjiao was spoiled by An Guogong and the queen's mother, she is a person who ignores and has a hard mouth, she will definitely not take the initiative to apologize to you like this. She is protected by the queen, and the emperor reproached her like that last time and did not allow her to enter the palace. A few days later, the queen summoned her to the palace again. ”

"I'm afraid that she, by being close to you, will secretly stumble you. If you refuse, the queen will be angry. But if you follow Deng Wenjiao's intentions, I, I'll ......" He hugged Du Ming's heart tighter, "It's just that the emperor came to visit Taiping Yuan this time, but in fact, he wants to rectify the military affairs of the Beijing Camp Xiwei, and I really can't get out of it......"

Chen Xi pushed Du Mingxin away, held her arm, and said seriously: "So you promise me to follow the Duchess of Dingguo honestly, okay?" Miss Xu regards your uncle as her eldest brother and is very close to him, so she will definitely help you and not make you suffer. ”

Du Mingxin looked at his worried look on his face, and suddenly laughed out loud. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Don't worry, I'll be vigilant, and I won't fall for her. ”

Chen Xi pinched the tip of her nose and advised, "Be careful." After speaking, he pulled Du Mingxin forward.

Du Mingxin asked, "Where is this going?" ”

"Go find the Duchess of Dingguo." Chen Xi smiled at her with a sideways face, "Entrust my wife to others, and you should always thank others for your husband." ”

Du Ming smiled sweetly and quickly followed his steps.

Shen Yao arranged the shift of the emperor's personal guards, and prepared to go to the Xu family brothers to drink some wine. On the way, he passed through several quiet courtyards, so he quickened his pace, afraid that it would be inconvenient to see whose female relatives lived in it.

Who knew that in front of a Soviet-style moon cave door, he heard a female dependant talking on the other side of the door. When he was about to turn around and turn back, he heard Du Mingxin's name.

“…… Why didn't you take your sister with you when you were asked to go? You can't see your sister like this, okay? ”

"Mother, Miss Du is the master, and I am the guest. Whoever she invites or who she doesn't invite, she has her own sense of proportion, so why should I talk too much? Besides, it's just a carriage, who can sit in a flower? ”

"Mother, listen to her! I heard that Xingguo Gong also went to see Miss Du in the middle, and my sister Bacheng had already talked to Xingguo Gong! ”

Shen Yao frowned, it sounded like the lady of the Wei State Mansion, how could he even bring him with him.

"If you catch it, you can catch it, such an unreserved woman, can Xingguo Gong still be able to look at it?"

"Mother, although I am not your biological son, for the sake of my mother being my father's original wife, I will leave some dignity for me, and also give my brother some dignity."

There was a "snap", as if someone had been slapped in the face, but no crying was heard.

"You give me a good reflection here, and I don't want to eat lunch! When people are hungry, their minds are clearer! ”

For a long time, Shen Yao didn't hear any movement over there. He didn't worry about the girl who was beaten, but she was also Du Mingxin's close friend, so he walked over to check.

A girl in a pale red shirt stood under the begonia tree, standing with her back to her, it was the girl in Du Mingxin's carriage.

"Miss Yuan, you, what are you doing standing here?" Shen Yao was afraid that she would feel embarrassed when she knew that she had heard it, so she pretended to pass by just now.

Yuan Ying quickly wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and turned around with a soft smile on her face: "I see that this begonia seems to be about to open, and I was greedy for the scenery for a while, but I didn't notice the footsteps of Grandpa Guo." There was still a heavy nasal tone in his voice.

Shen Yao looked at the tip of her slightly reddened nose, which did not match the smile on her face, and felt sad for no reason. Although it is fine clothes and fine food, if it is really pampered, how can it be so stubborn?

"The courtyards here are winding and secluded, not as strict as the courtyard portal in Beijing, and you are afraid that someone will collide when you stand here. Where are your daughters? I'll send you there. ”

Yuan Ying lowered her eyelids and shook her head gently. If you send it, wouldn't it be the dirty water that Yuan Rong's mother and daughter poured on themselves?

"Grandpa Guo is busy, so I won't delay your work. I'll stay here a little longer, and then I'll go back. ”
