Chapter 492: The Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake fell into the water
Du Wei beckoned Li Xijun to sit beside her, and poured fragrant tea for her with her own hands, Li Xijun blinked and said with big eyes: "I thought those rumors were true, but now it doesn't seem like them." β
"Oh?" Du Wei put down the teapot in her hand with a smile, "Why is it not like it?" β
Li Xijun looked her up and down, and shook his head for a while, "There is no resentment in your eyes." β
As soon as these words came out, Du Wei couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Tao said embarrassedly: "General Li's little daughter has been innocent since she was a child, don't be surprised by the princess." β
Du Wei ignored Mrs. Tao, but continued to say to Li Xijun, "Where did you hear about those rumors?" β
Li Xijun turned to Tao Miaoxian, and was about to speak, Tao Miaoxian's face stiffened, and her heart was not good, she told Li Xijun about this, in order to embarrass Du Wei through her mouth.
It is said that no matter who this kind of thing happens, it will be very embarrassing and embarrassing to be mentioned by outsiders, so it is not deliberately avoided, how can anyone take the initiative to talk about it with others like Du Wei.
Tao Miaoxian hurriedly spoke first: "This matter can be heard in the streets and alleys now. β
Mrs. Du's face was ugly, and she quietly reached out from under the table and put her hand on Du Wei's lap.
Du Wei knew that Mrs. Du was worried that she would not be able to save face, so she turned her head and smiled comfortingly at her, "This thing is strange, it was Mrs. Tao who invited me to incense that day, and we also walked all the way in the temple, how could such ridiculous rumors come out, is it not because Governor Tao offended someone, or did someone want to spoil the family affairs of our two families?" β
Mrs. Tao was stunned.
Although she wanted to help her daughter ruin Du Wei's reputation and make the prince of Nanwang abandon Du Wei, she didn't want to ruin this family business.
They can exchange so many dowries for just one concubine, such a cost-effective deal, how can she be willing to push it out of the door.
Seeing that Mrs. Du's face was getting more and more ugly, she was afraid that she would blow up this family affair, so she hurriedly said: "How can the rumors outside be fully believed, there must be someone who is jealous of our two families and is jealous that we have climbed to such a good family." β
Du Wei lowered her eyes and stared at the tea cup in her hand, hiding the coldness in her eyes.
Seeing this, Tao Miaoxian didn't dare to mention the rumors outside, everyone sat down again, and Mrs. Tao suddenly said to Tao Miaoxian: "It's okay for you to sit here, it's better to take the princess to the lake, maybe you can see the golden toad in the lake." β
Hearing that there was a golden toad in the lake, Li Xijun stood up happily, "Really? Is there really a golden toad? β
"It's still three-legged." Tao Miaoxian said with a smile, "The princess will go with us." β
Du Wei has to admit that Tao Miaoxianxun's reason is really exciting, women like them who are raised in the boudoir rarely have a show for pastime in ordinary times, mostly to enjoy flowers and swim in the lake, and now suddenly say that there is a three-legged golden toad, which will naturally make people feel novel.
However, this trick did not have much attraction for her.
It's just a mutated toad, what's so new?
The villain in Du Wei's heart laughed wildly: Sister has also seen a spaceship, I will scare you to death when I say it!
Mrs. Tao seemed to be eager to break them away immediately, so she pushed the boat down the river and followed Tao Miaoxian and them away.
The three of them walked all the way to the depths of the garden, Li Xijun was still a child, chattering non-stop, not at all as restrained as ordinary ladies, Du Wei learned more or less about the things in Li Senjun's mansion from Tao Miaoxian's mouth.
The Li Mansion is a family of military generals, so the women in the family will follow their father or brother to practice martial arts since they were young, so their personalities are naturally very refreshing.
"Do you know martial arts?" Du Wei looked at Li Xijun curiously, no matter how she looked at her, she didn't feel very reliable.
Li Xijun smiled mischievously, "I can only shoot arrows, and my father taught me, but I was greedy for fun, and I didn't learn much, and I was beaten a lot ......when I was a child."
Du Wei laughed, and when she turned her head, she clearly saw a flash of disdain in Tao Miaoxian's eyes beside her.
Du Wei sneered in her heart: I'm afraid that this Miss Li is being used and still doesn't know it.
The three of them walked forward, and seeing that there was a small lake not far away, Tao Miaoxian glanced behind Du Wei, and Linglong and Yu'er had been following closely behind Du Wei.
"If there are too many people, I'm afraid the golden toad will be scared away." Tao Miaoxian said deliberately.
When Li Xijun heard this, he immediately said, "Then the three of us will go over." β
Tao Miaoxian worried: "But the princess is not as noble as us, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" β
"It's okay." Du Wei turned his head and instructed the two maids, "You wait for me here." At the same time, he winked.
Linglong and Yu'er immediately understood, bowed their heads and responded.
Tao Miaoxian was very happy to see this, and immediately stepped forward to take Du Wei's hand, and the three of them walked along the edge of the lake towards the nine-curved corridor on the lake.
"Where's the golden toad?" Li Xijun kept asking questions all the way.
Tao Miaoxian endured the irritability in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Miss Li, don't worry, it's about to arrive." β
There are clusters of gorgeous camellia blooming by the lake, the fragrance is strong, when passing by here, Tao Miaoxian looked a little nervous, Du Wei stared at her with her spare eyes, and found that she put a hand into her sleeve, as if taking out something, and then picked a camellia, stroked it with her hand, and handed it to Du Wei.
"This flower should be matched with the princess." She complimented.
Du Wei smiled and took it, but she held her breath and lowered her head to smell the petals of the camellia.
The three of them stepped onto the nine-song corridor, and along the way, Du Wei noticed that Tao Miaoxian observed her face from time to time, and when she reached the middle of the lake, Du Wei suddenly raised her hand and stroked the corner of her forehead.
Tao Miaoxian immediately said: "The princess is uncomfortable? β
Du Wei frowned and sat down on the wooden chair on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, "A little, for some reason, a little dizzy." β
Tao Miaoxian said: "The princess will rest here for a while, and I will go to find the maid next to you, and Miss Li will come with me." β
Li Xijun blinked his big eyes: "I can't leave the princess here alone, I'll stay with her, and Sister Tao will go find someone." β
Du Wei squinted her eyes and leaned on the wooden chair, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
Although Li Xijun is a child who is naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, he maintains a deficit heart, which is commendable. She made up her mind that she would find a way to keep her away from people like Tao Miaoxian in the future.
But at this time, she couldn't let Li Xijun stay with her, so she said: "I'm fine, maybe I was in a hurry just now, you can go with Miss Tao." β
Li Xijun still didn't want to go, but Tao Miaoxian was impatient, and pulled Li Xijun with his upper hand, and the two walked back along the Jiuqu corridor.
Du Wei half-squinted at their figures as they gradually walked away.
ββ¦β¦ The princess, the subordinates are here, don't panic. A figure suddenly flashed in the shadow of the pillars of the Pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the voice was very familiar to her.
It's the chief guard beside Feng Duhan, Tsing Yi.
"What did you find?" Du Wei asked in a low voice.
"There seems to be a smell of incense in that flower just now." Tsing Yi stood motionless in the shadows, and from the shore it was completely impossible to see that there were other people in the pavilion besides Du Wei.
"I wonder what tricks they want to play?" Du Wei sneered, she watched Li Xijun and Tao Miaoxian about to arrive on the shore.
Tao Miaoxian walked in a hurry, Li Xijun was small, stepped on the hem of his skirt, and with an exclamation, his body rushed forward.
Tao Miaoxian could have grabbed her.
But in Tao Miaoxian's heart, her consciousness of preserving herself prevailed, and she let go of the other party's hand.
Li Xijun fell into the lake with a pop......
