Chapter 137: A chance encounter in the Cold Water Pavilion
Xingrou was in a good mood, and on the first day of leaving the Rizhao Palace, she got such a cute pet. It seems that the palace of this secluded country is really full of treasures, and you have to come out every day to visit it in the future.
********
The four seasons of the secluded country are distinct, and the secluded country in April is the best season. The grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything recovers and is full of vitality.
The palace of the hidden king, a majestic palace, high and low, is reflected in the flowers, rigid and soft, harmonious.
Blowing the face is not cold willow wind, Xingrou feels the gentle and warm spring breeze, strolling on the white jade stone road, mopping the goose yellow water veil blooms with the breeze, elegant like a fairy, raising a delicate little face, squinting slightly, looking at the golden glazed tiles on the top of the palace, shining dazzling in the sun, making people unable to distinguish the direction.
Standing in the cold water pavilion at a high place, what he saw from a distance was such a scene, the scenery was picturesque, the beauty was like smoke, and his heart couldn't help but swing.
"What has Concubine Yue been doing lately?" His eyes fell on the person in the distance, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth and eyebrows, and even his voice was gentle.
Mu Qing, the leader of the guards behind him, was a little uncomfortable for a while, and paused for a moment before replying: "Back to Your Highness, Concubine Yue has not crossed the line. ”
Youyan nodded with satisfaction, and said again: "Don't be careless." He didn't know much about his junior sister, and he didn't believe that she would stop there. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to disobey his master now, he would have sent her out of the palace a long time ago.
"Yes!" Mu Qing lowered her hand and replied respectfully, looked up and followed the strict line of sight, saw Xing Rou slowly walking through the flowers, and asked cautiously: "Miss Xing Rou, now that she can move freely, do you need to send more people......?"
Without waiting for him to finish, Youyan waved his hand and said, "No need, just keep her safe." Sooner or later, she will be the master of this house, not a prisoner. The voice was cold, but there was no reproach.
Mu Qing's hanging heart was finally put back in her stomach.
The master in front of him was unpredictable, especially when it came to the girl. I don't know why Concubine Yue offended her, and now she is still grounded in Yuehua Palace.
"By the way, when the ceremony is over next month, let's lift the ban on Concubine Yue. I don't want to have any more trouble until then. Yu Yan added.
Mu Qing gave up his hand.
As she spoke, Xingrou had already walked to the foot of the Cold Water Pavilion.
"Miss, the eldest prince is up there." Motoka reminded in a low voice.
"Got it, got it!" Xingrou raised her head, just in time to meet the strict gaze, there was a trace of warm smile in her deep black eyes, and she also smiled in return, slightly quickened her pace, and climbed the stairs.
The stone steps of the Cold Water Pavilion were steep and high, and when she reached the Cold Water Pavilion, she couldn't help but have red cheeks, clutching her chest and panting.
Youyan hurriedly walked over, helped her sit on the wooden bench in the pavilion, and said with concern: "The body is just right, the amount of activity is not too much, just take a walk near the Rizhao Palace, why did you go so far?" ”
Xingrou said coquettishly: "There is nothing interesting near the Rizhao Palace, I heard that the new repertoire of the theater is quite interesting, so I rushed over to take a look." ”
When Youyan heard this, he turned his head to Yuan Xiang and said, "If you go to such a far place, why don't you prepare a chariot for Miss?" ”
Youyan's tone was light, but Yuanxiang was so frightened that she knelt in front of Youyan.
"Don't blame her, I wanted to take a walk myself, and after lying down for so long, I wanted to move on my own." Xingrou hurriedly said and went up to help Yuanxiang, only to feel that Yuanxiang was trembling all over.
"It's fine." Xingrou patted Yuanxiang's shoulder and comforted in a soft voice.
You Yan saw the silver mink lying on Xingrou's shoulder at a glance, frowned, but didn't say anything. The silver mink seemed to feel the stern gaze, and was so frightened that it burrowed into Xingrou's sleeve pocket.
Xingrou joked: "Brother Yan, I don't know why, it seems that the people and animals around me are afraid of you?" ”
Youyan's heart sank, and he looked at Xingrou's eyes inquiringly, those eyes were as clear as water, and the smile under his eyes was also innocent, and he couldn't see any other meaning, so he put his mind at ease.
Rou'er laughed. Yu Yan smiled.
"Brother Yan, do you want to go to the theater with us?"
"No, I still have a little more to do, I'll have someone prepare a chariot for you later, and when you're tired of walking, take the car over." Strict and thoughtful arrangement, Xingrou did not object.
"The view from above is really good." Xingrou's careless gaze swept under the Cold Water Pavilion, and a red figure flashed into the trees.
"It's a pity that I'm going to see a play today, and I'll come here another day to enjoy the scenery. Rou'er took her leave first. Xingrou smiled and saluted, ready to leave.
Suddenly, my feet stepped on the corner of my skirt. "Oops~" she exclaimed, looking like she was about to fall.
Just as she closed her eyes and fell to the ground, Youyan quickly grabbed her waist with one hand and hugged her into his arms.
Xingrou hooked his neck with both hands, and the two looked at each other almost for a moment, and just when the two red clouds flew up Xingrou's cheeks, Youyan let go of her and said, "Rou'er be careful of your step." ”
Xing Rou hurriedly let go of her hand, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Brother Yan, Xing Rou will leave first." Hurriedly pulled Yuanxiang and left.
Yu Yan looked at her back, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Qing was secretly shocked, this Xingrou can easily influence the emotions of the eldest prince, it is really not a good thing......
Coming down from the Cold Water Pavilion, Xingrou's face was calm as usual. Inadvertently, a glance into the bushes, the red figure has long disappeared.
***********
Yuehua Palace.
"Let's go down!" Phantom Moon Shadow said coldly, her fists clenched white in her sleeves.
The red-clothed palace maid kneeling in front of her heard this, as if she had been pardoned, and bowed her head and hurriedly exited the room.
As soon as she told Phantom Moon Shadow what she had seen in her tracking of Xingrou today, she felt the murderous aura emanating from Concubine Yue's body.
This cold murderous aura made her tremble like chaff, of course she would not forget the appearance of her sister dying tragically. This beautiful woman, in her eyes, is like a devil.
Phantom Moon Shadow never thought that this time she lifted a stone and hit herself in the foot, before Xingrou resisted Yu Yan, she still had a good chance to squeeze her out of the palace. She never expected that Youyan would ask her master to modify Xingrou's memory, and Xingrou not only didn't die, but now she is really close to Youyan.
Rear position? It's getting farther and farther away from her.
She gave up Zhan Xianjun, but now she didn't catch Youyan, she has worked hard for many years, and it has become a joke, how can she be willing?
No! She murmured in her heart: Wan Xingrou, don't be complacent too early, until the last moment, my Phantom Moon Shadow will not admit defeat.
Thinking of this, she Shi Shiran walked to the dresser, opened the drawer, took out an antique box from it, and opened it to be a delicate jade hairpin.
The slender jade hand reached into the box, picked up the hairpin, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
