The pulse is always late, and the spring flowers and autumn moon shine clearly.

The water pavilion on the side of the Furong in Jianning Houfu is called the Pavilion of the Evening, facing the water on three sides, one side is connected with the embankment, there are beauties in the pavilion, the four walls are empty, it is the best place to enjoy the cool in the summer.

On the exquisitely carved beam, the four hanging copper bells, sparsely fall and have ranks, the size is different, when occasionally a gust of wind passes, the bell sound sings, when it is light and crisp, there is a pearl falling jade plate, when it is heavy, it is just like a low sigh, falling on the clear wave, with the blue ripples slightly, faint and distant.

No more joy of silk and bamboo.

Before it was right, the dining table had already been removed, and on the cherry wood floor in the pavilion, several green bamboo and reed mats were paved.

The young girl sat on it, surrounded by a short-legged pear wood case, and played with the flower sign with great interest.

The maid in Tsing Yi stood aside, holding fresh fruit and honey wine, watching with a smile.

"Ah Jing drew something, take it and take a look." Today's little birthday star Huang Jiangyue was stunned when she saw the beautiful scenery and looked at the flowers in her hand, and snatched it with her hand.

Cold plum in the snow - I should have returned before spring, because of the pity of Yaotai lock spring.

Jiang Yue read aloud and said with a smile: "This one of the four gentlemen who is not afraid of Ling Han is also worthy of Ah Jing's demeanor, and the signature is even better, the flower fairies who live in Yaotai are reluctant to come to spring without plums, lock spring and not let plum fall, it can be seen that Ah Jing is deeply blessed." ”

Turned over and looked at the back of the flower stick, but it was written that the person who got this lot, for the luck of the world, drank a cup of himself, and everyone congratulated a cup.

Jiang Yue only felt that the word "tribulation" was quite ominous, so she hurriedly asked the maid to pour wine, and forced Yijing to drink a glass, and everyone in the audience saluted together.

At this time, the memory has been blurred, Yijing doesn't remember what kind of flower lottery she drawn, but now this one in her hand made her have a trance for a while, she should have returned before the spring, she was killed in the cold Lantern Festival, but when she woke up, everything had started over, unbelievable luck, or in the dark, it was already doomed.

After returning from the calamity, I don't want to be proud of the world, I just want the love and hatred to end and the grievances to zero.

Yijing smiled slowly and drank the sweet wine in the white jade cup.

The winner rolls the dice, and the two agate dice collide several times in the jade plate, and they get ten points, count them in turn, and it is Yichen's turn to draw lots.

But he drew a sycamore flower - there is a phoenix to come, which can be pitiful Cui Gaiqi in the painting.

The head of the flower sign is written, the person who gets this sign is unspeakably expensive, everyone sitting here respects, and the signer should be Xie Hanmei three cups.

"This is indescribably expensive and easy to understand, why let Wutong thank Hanmei alone?" Huang Wuniang seemed to be a little meaningful, and her eyes swept back and forth on the faces of Yichen and Yijing.

She is the same age as Yichen, they are both old, and they should have discussed their relatives in the morning, Yichen is delaying filial piety for her grandfather, but Huang Wuniang is because Jianning has other plans.

Five years ago, Emperor Taizong died, before the collapse, he personally presided over the wedding of the current prince, but in addition to the prince, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince have reached the age of marriage at this time, but they have not been married.

Sure enough, I won the "unspeakably expensive" lottery.

Huang Wuniang remembered her mother's words: "Chen'er is the granddaughter of the eldest princess, and the saint and the queen mother are naturally different from others, and it is estimated that most of them will be concubines with the third prince who is most favored by the saint, and you ...... Even if it is not as good as Chen'er, but it is not far from it, the biological mother of the second prince is only a palace e, but the fourth prince is from the concubine, your grandmother and father's meaning, naturally the four princes are better, you have to have a number in your heart, at this moment, words and deeds must be more careful and cautious, do not make any mistakes, and miss this great opportunity. ”

Although Huang Wuniang is a little blushing for her cousin - among the princes, the third prince has the best demeanor and bearing, and is so favored by the saint, although Cousin Chen is from a noble background, but in terms of appearance and talent, she is ordinary, and she is not worthy of the three princes - but she is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and her grandmother is the eldest princess, even today's saint is also respectful to the eldest princess, and she can be "unspeakably expensive" It all depends on her family background.

But thinking of her mother's advice, Huang Wuniang had to endure the grievances in her heart, and she didn't show any jealousy.

With a warm smile on his face, he took the lead in raising a glass and saluting the sycamore that attracted the golden phoenix.

Yichen was a little ashamed, and before the wine touched his lips, he blushed: "What is expensive is unspeakable, it's just a joke, and it can't be taken seriously." ”

After drinking everyone's toast, and according to the signature, Yichen thanked Yijing alone.

Yi Jingshang was still in a trance, and he couldn't understand the eldest sister's signature for a while, so he hurriedly refused: "Sister can just mean it, but don't really drink three cups, although it is fruit wine, it is still easy to get drunk." ”

Jiang Yue didn't follow: "Everyone has fun together, of course you have to act according to the order, but you can't shirk it sloppily, what's the fun of that?" Sister Chen is unspeakably expensive, where is there no amount of fruit wine in a few glasses? ”

With Jiang Yue taking the lead, all the ladies in Jianning Houfu coaxed together, forcing Yichen to really thank Yijing for three cups.

In the afternoon of June, in the hibiscus swing, the sun is dyed brilliantly, the wind rises and blows, the green leaves rise and fall, the red pavilion is like a jade face smiling, and there is a faint fragrance overflowing.

In the evening pavilion, the laughter was crisp and crisp, and the bell was flying.

In such a young age, the sound of talking and laughing should have been back then.

seems to vaguely remember what else happened at Jiang Yue's thirteenth birthday banquet. But the beautiful scenery racked his brains, and his memory was also covered by clouds and fog, blurry. At this time, the flower sign order was still continuing, and the beautiful scenery was already uneasy. Until a big girl beside Mrs. Houfu trotted over with a skirt-

The picture is very familiar.

Yi Jing sat up slightly straight.

"Ladies, don't worry about having fun, the third prince and the second lang of the Chu Wangfu suddenly came to the door, I just met Mrs. Tai, and now I am coming here!"

Suddenly, like a gust of wind, it swept away the clouds and mist in the memory of the beautiful scene, and everything became clear.

Yes, how did she forget that back then, the three princes suddenly came!

Clear reappearance in my mind - back then, the three princes and Yu Zhou came to Jianning Houfu inexplicably, which shocked everyone, and the reason why I had a vague memory of this period was because-

Yijing subconsciously looked at Jiang Yue.

She was at the same table with Jiang Yue and the eldest sister, she was in the middle, Jiang Yue was on her left, and the eldest sister was on her right.

But seeing Jiang Yue was extremely surprised, her waist straightened, and she stared directly at the maid who came to report the news, and her appearance really didn't seem to be fake: "Why is the third prince here?" Do you want to stay in the evening pavilion? ”

The maid was very anxious: "The slave maid doesn't know the details, I just heard that the third prince wants to come in person to congratulate Qi Niang on your birthday, Mrs. Tai can't thank you, and then accompany His Royal Highness over, Mrs. Hou is afraid that the ladies will lose their manners, so she will let the slave and maid report first." ”

Yi Jing looked at Jiang Yue's arm trembling steadily, and subconsciously let -

A cup of blue tea fell on the table, but this time it was dodged in time because of the beautiful scenery, but it splashed Yichen's gauze skirt.

Back then, Jiang Yue heard that the third prince was going to congratulate her on her birthday in person, and in addition to being shocked, she accidentally swept off the tea cup on the case and buckled it on Yijing's skirt, so Yijing had to change her clothes, and she missed meeting with the third prince.

I still remember Yu Zhou's words later: "His Royal Highness came to the mansion to find me that day, I commented on the poems of my predecessors with him, and there were many disagreements, I originally thought that Brother Jing was outstanding in learning, and I wanted to ask him for his opinion, and I didn't want to go to the Weiguo Mansion, only to know that he accompanied you to Jianning Houfu, and I saw that His Royal Highness was a little exhausted, plus ...... I also want to see the fifth sister, so I proposed to simply come to Jianning Houfu to visit, and by the way, I also came to make fun, who knew that we came, but I didn't see you, the fifth sister is really lazy, where did you go at that time? ”

At that time, Yijing didn't care about this trivial matter, and wanted to come at this time......

On the way to Houfu in the morning, the eldest brother clearly met the third prince, he knew that the eldest brother had come to Jianning Houfu, but he pretended not to know in front of Yu Zhou, and came here by pushing the boat down the river, saying that he was congratulating Jiang Yue, so tactful, and he didn't know who it was for.

The doubts between the electric light and flint prompted Yi Jing to be wise in a hurry, get up and avoid it, and let the eldest sister become the one who went to change clothes.

"Oops!" Yuzhi, the maid beside Yichen, exclaimed, and hurriedly wiped it with a silk handkerchief, but the gauze skirt was already thin, and the water stains were scattered, leaving light yellow traces.

Jiang Yue was stunned, only to realize that she had caused trouble, and hurriedly apologized.

Yijing also stepped forward to help Yichen: "Sister, let's go change your skirt." ”

The ladies went out as guests, just in case, they all brought a change of dress, Yuzhi hurriedly instructed the little maid to go to the carriage to get it, as the master, Huang Qiniang also instructed the maid to lead Yichen to her boudoir to change clothes, and it was a good time to accompany the sin.

It can be seen that back then, Jiang Yue really missed, not intentionally to splash that bowl of tea on herself, Yijing carefully observed Jiang Yue's expression, and saw that she didn't care about her avoidance, she breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that in her heart, the suspicion of Jiang Yue existed after all. However, of course, she didn't want this few confidants around her, and she was also a malicious person.

Surrounded by a few maids, Yichen's back disappeared between the Bizhi and the road, and the little ladies saw a line coming from afar like the stars and the moon, among which the heavenly ruler, dressed in a round-necked crow green brocade robe, with a gold and jade belt around his waist, and a purple and gold crown on his head, strutting in the sun, and the dark purple curly grass stripes on his clothes loomed with the pace. The little ladies hurriedly got up from the reed mats, put on embroidered shoes, and stood in the water pavilion with their eyes down.

In his previous life, there was only one Yu Zhou in Yijing's heart, although he had met the third prince several times, he had never paid too much attention to it, and he only had his handsome and beautiful face in his impression, which was more gorgeous than a woman. And in this life, because of the calculation in her heart, her eyes frequently paid attention to this prince who was destined to become her brother-in-law.

ignored the fiery eyes of Yu Zhou, who was beside the third prince, looking at her and the undisguised smile on his face.

Mrs. Tai respectfully invited the three princes into the water pavilion, and after a sweep of her eyes, she was relieved to see that all the little ladies were in order: "Your Royal Highness, I heard that Qi Niang is born today, and I insist on congratulating her, Ah Yue, I don't want to come forward to thank you." ”

Huang Wuniang and Huang Liuniang are the concubines of Jianning, and they have also seen the three princes during the palace banquet, although they were surprised at this time, they were not panicked, but Jiang Yue only had the opportunity to participate in the Fanglin banquet, and had never met the three princes.

But before the meeting, the young man had a face like fat jade, two delicate but flying black eyebrows, obliquely spread into the sideburns; The tail of the eyes is slender and delicate, as if outlined by a fine brush, slightly provoked, the eyes are faintly light, as if they are not scornful, the glamorous lips that are softer than the woman, with a smile that makes people blush and heartbeat.

With just this glance, Jiang Yue immediately lowered her eyes and tiptoed forward: "The little girl is deeply honored. ”

The third prince stretched out his arm and helped him weakly, very gently: "Qi Niang doesn't need to be polite, it's also a coincidence, just in time for your Fangchen, I came to congratulate you, but I wish Qi Niang Fanghua forever." ”

The demeanor is very polite, and there is no frivolity.

Seeing the beautiful scenery in his eyes, he secretly thought in his heart, the third prince is really good at acting, although he is born like this, he is naturally charming, but he is still polite at this time, where is it like the man who messes with flowers and grass, no wonder his grandmother and the queen mother were blinded by him. paid more attention, but saw that the eyes of the three princes crossed Huang Qiniang and swept back, as if they were quite aware of the cousins who had already reached the end of the line, and their hearts sank again.

Could it be that he really came for the eldest sister this time?

The three princes really came here for Yichen.

In previous years, the palace banquet, thousands of charming gatherings, the third prince paid special attention to the eldest daughter of the Weiguo Mansion, vaguely remembered that it was a well-behaved, very ordinary woman, I think the family education is very strict, the Su aunt is not like those noble girls who compete for beauty, follow the rules excessively, the third prince suspects that she has not paid attention to herself.

Although he is favored by the saint and "favored" by the queen, the third prince is confident about marrying with the Weiguo Mansion, but he wants to be safe...... Especially today's road encounter, when I heard that the prince of Weiguo led his sisters to a foreign house as guests, he suddenly got up and wanted to come to Yichen to show his elegance and peerlessness.

The third prince is more confident in his appearance, if he can attract the secret consent of the Su family's aunt, then this marriage is even more stable.

He heard that the eldest princess of Shangyuan is a tolerant elder, and the marriage matter attaches great importance to the wishes of the children.

I didn't want to glance at it slowly, but I didn't see the face in my memory, but I saw a certain woman with a dull face, the third prince frowned slightly, and then remembered that it was the one I "met" in Qingping Nunnery...... It's a bit of a bad luck! If I had known that this Su Sanniang was my future wife-in-law, I wouldn't have teased her with words on a whim that day, I just laughed a few words, which caused her to be so stupid, sure enough, this life is too handsome, and it is really a trouble.

The third prince sighed sullenly.

Of course, she didn't pay attention to Sanniang's appearance, just when she recognized the wrong person.

But he suddenly felt two eyes that seemed to be speculating, and the three princes turned their eyes and met the four eyes of Yijing.

What a ...... A bold woman!

The third prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a while.

The girl's green silk is like a waterfall, like a good brocade, but combed with two quite childish buds, beads and silk are hanging small, jumping between the green silk, lining the light smile at the corner of the lips more and more pleasant, the moonlight brocade is covered with a light gold silk yarn half sleeve, reflecting the embroidered tang Yanran on the brocade robe, just like shrouded in the golden sun, and the brilliant score is implicit; It seems to be wearing a goose yellow plain skirt, but it is covered with a hibiscus gauze skirt embroidered with black leaves and zhurui on the head, the light gauze is thin, oozing the color of the bottom skirt, plain and elegant, without losing the brightness and beauty, lively and delicate, ingenious.

That's all.

The girl's black eyes, which were as clear as a secluded pool, were undisguised and extremely sensitive and generous......

Unconsciously made the corners of the lips of the third prince as delicate as Xiangling even more brilliant.

The woman looked no more than twelve or thirteen, but he felt that there was a certain emotion in her clear eyes.

After a slight glance, the third prince couldn't help it again, and smiled seductively at the woman in front of him.

Yijing was slightly stunned, and returned a smile that was full of indifference, but generous and decent.

Between the two, so many of you come and go, and they don't attract the attention of others, but Mrs. Tai is still sober and finds out about Yichen's absence, so she looks at Yijing: "What about your eldest sister?" Why is she the only one missing? He said to the third prince: "Your Highness, this is the fifth mother of the Weiguo Mansion." ”

Only then did the third prince look away and smile gently at Mrs. Tai: "I remember that I also have a relationship with Sister Jing. After speaking, the meaningful gaze stayed on Yu Zhou's face for a moment from the corner of his charming eyes.

The "gentle" smile caused many little ladies to be distracted, so that they didn't hear the next words of the third prince at all: "I originally wanted to help the fun, but it seems that I swept away the interest of all the ladies, so I left." ”

Mrs. Tai seemed to sigh.

But I heard an abrupt voice: "Your Highness stays, Your Highness ......"

Yi Jing was startled, this voice was too familiar, although it was unprecedentedly soft, but she still heard it clearly, it was her third sister......

The third prince had already turned half of his body, and when he looked back, he seemed to be very surprised: "This is ......"

Su Sanniang's face was red suddenly, and she didn't know what she was thinking, everyone looked at her and even her earlobes seemed to be dripping red.

"Third Highness, I have heard that the Third Highness can be poetic, the third sister she admires very much, and it coincides with today's coincidence, it is better for His Royal Highness to spend a little bit of a sway, leave ink for Ah Yue's Fangchen, and let the sisters shine and admire His Royal Highness's talent." Yijing's response was very sensitive, although she didn't know why Sanniang was in such a mess on such an occasion, but she set up a proper step in time.

The three princes are beautiful but do not lose their tall pair of flying black eyebrows, and they pick it again.

He is really used to those women in beautiful skins, in front of his handsome and unbridled appearance, or shy, or stupid, in short, they are twisted more than usual, and the five mothers of the Su family in the Weiguo Mansion ...... is unexpectedly generous, and even quite inquisitive and speculative, seemingly ignoring his charm.

For example, now, she can still be so sober and round the field for Sister Shu, which makes the third prince feel a little unwilling.

But he smiled slightly and bowed his head gently: "Okay." ”

Just one word, but it has already made the little ladies blush, heartbeat, and trance.

Waiting for the maid to prepare the pen and ink, the third prince has already been confident, he has the intention to show his talent in front of the "talented girl" praised by the queen mother, so he waved his arms and wrote, the word is like a dragon turning, in one go.

The mind that doesn't want to be beautiful is no longer here.

She was worried that for the "round field" of Sanniang, she delayed the departure of the third prince and waited for the eldest sister to return......

In the previous life, the eldest sister was in love with the third prince, so she was secretly sad and depressed because of his mercy everywhere, and in this life, it is better to let the eldest sister meet the third prince less.

Therefore, while everyone was attracted by the pen of the third prince, she quietly withdrew from the water pavilion and went to the Mulan Garden, where Qi Niang lived, wanting to simply intercept the eldest sister and let her not come here.

Only Yu Zhou, who always paid attention to Yijing's behavior, saw her go out, subconsciously wanted to follow, and took a few steps before he realized that this was in Jianning Houfu, which was not as casual as Weiguo Mansion, so he stopped in frustration and watched Yijing's back.

When the third prince put away the pen and completed the long fu-

In the midst of everyone's praise, the third prince was extremely frustrated to find that the back of the little girl had flashed in the distance and disappeared into Bizhi.

How is this possible...... Could it be that I don't look good today? The third prince picked the corner of his eye, but when he saw that with his eyes everywhere, all the ladies were red and delicate, he regained his confidence.

It's just that, I think it's because Su Wuniang is still young and doesn't understand the relationship between men and women.

The third prince finally comforted himself like this.

He didn't realize it, but at this point, he had completely forgotten what he was coming for.
