XXXVII. Inherit the elder brother
"Is the fifth princess coming?" Lin Wanyan asked while following Xiao Manxue's footsteps and walking out, the two were the same age and had similar statures, but although Lin Wanyan was half a head taller, her steps were not as fast as Xiao Manxue.
"She's still sitting in the carriage and shaking slowly!" Xiao Manxue looked disdainful. As soon as she thought that she could go out of the palace openly and spread wild today, she couldn't wait for a long time. And Xiao Manxue doesn't like to dress up, so naturally it doesn't take much time.
"Then ......" Lin Wanyan always felt that it was not authentic to leave the fifth princess like this, no matter how she said that the person who sent the invitation was her.
"I haven't had breakfast yet, I went to Suxin Building, I sent someone to tell her. Xiao Manxue didn't plan to wait for her, but she just wanted to eat a snack, by the way.
Lin Wanyan smiled, this is nothing, we finally went together.
Walking to the door, there was a huge group of people waiting, and there was only one carriage, which was originally Xiao Manxue and her maid Luo Lan riding together. Because Xiao Manxue and Lin Wanyan changed to riding horses, Chiyan and Green Ying also had to ride horses, and only Luo Lan was the one who rode in the carriage.
Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue had already gone out of the door, and were about to get on the horse, when Chiyan walked over. "Please wait a minute, princesses, our master will be here soon!"
Lin Wanyan knew that Chiyan said that it was Yang Chengyue who would arrive soon, thinking of Xiao Manxue's urgency, and was about to say a few words of relief, but she didn't expect her to be happy. "Brother Chengyue is also coming, why didn't you say it earlier, I can go out of the palace with him!"
"Brother Chengyue?" Lin Wanyan was very curious, Yang Chengyue was the sixth son of General Yang Wu's Mansion, and she had also been to the General's Mansion, why did the sixth princess call him "Brother Chengyue"?
"Oh, Princess Wanyan doesn't know, Brother Chengyue is now the youngest head of the Ouchi guard in the history of the Great God Yue. When I was a child, Brother Chengyue and Brother Muchuan were the companions of Brother Yuwen, and we often played together.
Brother Yuwen loves me the most, as long as I want something, he will give it to me, not as annoying as Brother Yuyan. Brother Kikawa also hates it, and often catches some small insects and brings them into the palace to scare me.
Brother Chengyue is the bravest, he will help me catch insects every time, and he will also help me beat Brother Kigawa. Hahaha, he often pressed Brother Muchuan to the ground and asked me to beat him, at this time, Brother Yuwen would say to us every time: Fight, I'll give you the wind. Xiao Manxue laughed wantonly, smiling innocently.
Lin Wanyan seemed to be infected by her laughter, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and those pictures seemed to come to her mind. Yang Muqing also talked about the three of them, but most of them were after Xiao Yuwen left the palace.
At this time, Lin Wanyan remembered that the biological mothers of the fourth prince Xiao Yuyan and the sixth princess Xiao Manxue were both concubines. It's no wonder that the personalities of the two people are somewhat similar, they both love to talk, laugh and play, as if they don't grow up.
Seeing that Lin Wanyan didn't speak, Xiao Manxue thought that she hadn't made the relationship between these characters clear, and she seemed to be very willing to talk about these things, so she began to talk endlessly.
"Brother Yuyan, you should have seen him, I don't want to talk about him, he is just a nasty ghost, and he likes to do things with me.
Brother Yuwen, you must not have seen him, I haven't seen him for a long time. Originally, I thought he was coming back for the palace banquet that day, and I specially asked my father-in-law to go to Suxinlou to buy his favorite dim sum, but I asked Concubine Jing, and she said that Brother Yuwen was unwell and did not return to the palace.
Brother Kikawa...... I was gone when I was six years old......"
Xiao Manxue was very depressed in the end, and the smile on her face dissipated.
Lin Wanyan was also surprised when she heard this, Xiao Yuwen deliberately didn't go to the palace banquet? Li Muchuan was gone when he was six years old?" "Sixth princess, don't be sad, you can see that you care about them very much." ”
Xiao Manxue's emotions came and went quickly, and after listening to Lin Wanyan's words, she smiled like a nobody.
"It's all in the past, but every time I think about it, I feel sad. Even though I was young, I remember everything very clearly. Since Brother Yuwen left the palace, Brother Chengyue has not come, and no one in the palace has played with me like them.
And Brother Yuwen has changed, it turns out that he loves me the most, but every time he comes back, he doesn't talk to anyone.
Chengyue's brother also changed, and then he was in the palace every day, but when he saw me, he hid. ”
"People have to learn to grow up on their own, and not many people can always be by our side. Lin Wanyan said with emotion. Growing up hurts, it hurts.
"Are you talking about yourself?" Xiao Manxue asked with a smile.
"Everybody's right. Lin Wanyan also smiled.
"I think you're very good, beautiful and talented, the only thing I can't figure out is that you won't miss your father and mother in the future?" Xiao Manxue, like many people, sympathized and regretted for this Tanglin princess.
Lin Wanyan smiled and didn't speak, a little bitter, she felt Xiao Manxue's sympathy.
"It's okay, I'll cover you in the future!" Xiao Manxue said very righteously.
Lin Wanyan was amused at this time, but she was still very moved in her heart, Xiao Manxue is a person with a true temperament, and she knew it when she heard so many words.
"What are you laughing at? don't believe it?" Xiao Manxue is rarely willing to cover others, no matter what, she is also a little bully in the palace.
"No, I think fate is a wonderful thing. "It's really not a fight, you don't know each other, and there are so many people who are connected together when you know each other.
"Hahaha, it seems like that!, then which imperial brother do you think you have a relationship with me?" Xiao Manxue was very curious about her vision, because she knew the foundation of those imperial brothers very well.
Lin Wanyan was asked, if you want to talk about fate, it must be Xiao Yuwen, but it will also become fateless, and she can't say it.
"Don't have an idea, right?" Xiao Manxue teased her. "Originally, I didn't want to say it, but I've said so much today, in fact, I think that if you want to talk about it, it must be my brother Yuwen.
He has been the best and smartest of his brothers since he was a child, but unfortunately he may not be able to do so, he has been reluctant to come back, he should still be angry with his father.
Brother Yuyan, you can still choose when you don't have a choice.
Brother Yu Shuo, be cautious. That's all I have to say. ”
"Hahaha, you turned out to be a novelist. Lin Wanyan said with a smile. Originally, she wasn't going to know anything about Xiao Yuwen anymore, but today she inadvertently learned so much, and her mood became more and more complicated, except for laughing, there was no other expression to hide.
"I don't have it!" Xiao Manxue didn't care about this, she didn't plan to contact Lin Wanyan, in terms of etiquette, she should invite Lin Wanyan to play once like the fifth princess, but she didn't care what the etiquette was. "Brother Chengyue is here!"
Lin Wanyan looked at the alley, and in the distance, there was indeed a person galloping on a horse.
"Brother Chengyue!" Xiao Manxue walked forward enthusiastically.
"I've seen the six princesses and the princess of Wanyan!" Yang Chengyue dismounted and saluted respectfully, with a serious face.
Lin Wanyan just nodded and smiled.
"Brother Chengyue, let's go quickly, go to Suxin Building for a snack, I'm still hungry!"
"The two princesses, please take the carriage first, and then ride the horses when they are out of the city. "There are a lot of people in the city, and women are too ostentatious on horseback. When you get out of the city, it's better.
"Okay!" Xiao Manxue agreed very happily this time.
Lin Wanyan and Xiao Manxue got into the carriage, and Yang Chengyue discussed with Chiyan and Linghu, and finally decided to leave ten people from the Lingye Palace to follow the carriage, and the rest of them met at the city gate.
Yang Chengyue, Linghu and Lingmu opened the way in front of the carriage, and the remaining eight people were scattered on the other three sides of the carriage.
"Why is Lingmu here?" Yang Chengyue was very surprised, under normal circumstances, if Linghu, as the head of the twenty-four spirits, was not by Xiao Yuwen's side, the second-ranked Lingmu had to stay.
"My master asked me to bring five people here this morning. Ling Mu replied helplessly.
"I'm afraid not. Yang Chengyue was faintly worried that there were two princesses of the Great Shenyue accompanying him, and he believed that Xuanmu Baihua Palace would not dare to come openly, so he could only play yin.
"The master is in a bad mood, and I don't dare to say more. Ling Mu and Yang Chengyue's reactions were the same.
"But what's the matter?" Yang Chengyue was in the palace yesterday and did not have the opportunity to meet Xiao Yuwen.
"The day before yesterday, the master came back and sent me to check what Princess Wanyan usually likes. Yesterday, I bought some items to send, and Princess Wanyan replied that she liked it very much, and invited the master to put paper kites.
The master looked very happy, and took the paper kite to the Yuewang Mansion in the afternoon. As a result, he was drunk last night and did not return to stay in the Yue Wang's Mansion, and he only returned on the fifth watch today.
It just so happened that Linghu brought the things of Princess Wanyan, and the master sat in the study for a long time, and then asked me to bring someone over. Ling Mu said truthfully.
Yang Chengyue's face sank, and he guessed something. "Can you see what Princess Smoke has carried?"
Ling Mu lowered his voice and said, "I look at the jade pendant that looks like the master." ”
Yang Chengyue frowned. "You take someone back, the third master asked, and said that I sent someone else. ”
"I'm afraid that the master has gone to the Yuewang Mansion, and the master has told him to go to the Yuewang Mansion to find him. "As long as people are in the Yue Wang's Mansion, there will be no trouble, and the people in the entire Lingye Palace know it.
"That's fine. "It seems that Xiao Yuwen has found a way back for himself, at this time, Prince Yue is in Nanli City, and King Yue's Mansion is the safest.
The group stopped in front of Suxin Building, and as soon as Lin Wanyan got out of the carriage, he found that there were many fewer people, and out of trust, he didn't ask more.
Xiao Manxue's accompanying guards were gone, but she didn't panic at all, and jumped directly to Yang Chengyue. "Brother Chengyue, do you remember what Brother Yuwen likes to eat vegetarian snacks the most?"
"Golden silk crisp. Yang Chengyue replied lightly, this is what they have loved to eat since childhood, and at that time, Concubine Jing often asked the palace maid to go to Suxinlou to buy dim sum for the three of them to try. Xiao Yuwen likes to eat golden silk crisp the most, Li Muchuan likes to eat pea yellow the most, and he likes to eat Poria cocos cake the most.
Xiao Yuwen is an extremely careful person, and he will always ask Concubine Jing to buy an extra copy for him and Li Muchuan to take home. At that time, Li Muchuan liked to go home with him every time he came back, and he would give Yang Muqing any good things, and the most he gave was pea yellow, no wonder Yang Muqing liked to run after him.
"Then Brother Chengyue, do you remember what I like to eat the most?" Xiao Manxue looked at Yang Chengyue with a mischievous expression.
