In the Guan Sui Garden of the Chu Palace, since the Lantern Festival, it has begun to paint and paint the building, and the new house has been decorated, which is the study and painting room of the prince, and it has also been decorated because of the order.

A screen frame, tables and chairs, brocade and jade carvings are all personally selected by Yu Feng.

Even after the New Year, Yu Feng went to the suburbs of Xianghe for official business, and the people were not in the house, and Guan Sui Yuan was also full of joy.

Only Rib was very depressed, and whenever he had free time in a day, he had to go to Xiyuan once and whisper to Jiang Wei.

On this day, I went back to Guan Sui Yuan, sat in a sullen place, and sighed for a while.

Mama Xie was supervising the people to go in and out, watching the craftsmen in the corridor depict the phoenix on the beams, seeing her daughter full of sadness, depressed, her eyebrows were frowning, pulling up the ribs to avoid the remote, and poked her finger on her forehead: "The marriage of the prince is approaching, it is for great joy, what kind of name are you sighing and sighing?" ”

"My daughter is worried about Awei, no matter how she persuades her, she is still confused, that is, the palace doesn't want to stay, just waiting for the prince to return and say goodbye in person, and she has to go home." Rib snorted.

"How many times have I told you, the master's affairs, we slaves and maids are not allowed to interfere with it!" When Mama Xie heard this, she was even more solemn: "I know that you and Ah Wei are good, but you should also understand that the prince is just a brother and sister to her, and now that the big wedding is imminent, she wants to avoid it, which is also the original gift." ”

Seeing that the rib was very unwilling, although she bit her lip and was silent, she was still very stubborn between her eyebrows, and Mama Xie slapped her on the shoulder: "The general's wife has many complaints about this marriage, and she was waiting to add to the chaos, let's Guan Sui Yuan, we can't have two hearts!" You give me a careful look, if I know that you are disrespectful to the future princess because of the Jiang family's brothers and sisters, I will not be the first to spare you! ”

When she saw that the ribs were red, Mama Xie sighed: "What is the idea of the general's wife?" As soon as the saint gave the marriage, he immediately said that he would go to the old princess, and said that the prince had been married, so he should live in the back house, and the princess would be convenient for the morning and dusk to settle the province, and wait in front of the old princess, just to look at the strict Guan Sui Garden, she couldn't intervene, the back house was taken care of by her over the years, and the prince moved in, so that it was easy to put people in, and the prince easily persuaded the old princess, saying that Guan Sui Yuan and Rongxi Hall are only separated by the flower garden, and it is convenient to enter and exit from the side door. ”

The rib only hung down his face, playing with the wishful knot tied around his waist.

"The general's wife is unwilling, these days, I see that you often go to Miss Jiang's courtyard, but you don't let the Lang Xing next to Erlang come into contact with you from time to time, you have to have a plan in your heart, don't listen to a few words of demagogy, and you have that unjust thought." Mama Xie took it again, and opened the ribbed hand: "Listen carefully!" ”

Rib had no choice but to agree: "My daughter can save it." ”

"It's good to really understand me, how much the prince has suffered over the years, and finally fulfilled his wish, and in the future, he will love and grow old hand in hand with the princess is what we slaves and maids are looking forward to."

After saying this, he saw the clear sky trotting in, and shouted in Lianlu: "The prince is back, the people have entered the corner gate, Sister Rib quickly prepare warm water and clean clothes, and the prince has to go to Rongxi Hall to say goodbye after bathing." ”

Mama Xie gave up at this time, pushed a handful of ribs, and hurriedly greeted herself.

Rib Wen was frustrated, ordered to go down to boil water, went into the bedroom by himself, prepared a set of clean clothes, took them to the clean room, and made some good fragrance and soap one by one.

The prince bathes and never needs to be waited for.

After waiting for half an hour, I heard the call inside, Rib re-entered, with a handful of steamed soft towels, for the son of the black hair, re-combed the bun, put on a dark blue brocade large sleeve cloud roe deer skin inlaid clothes, looked at the prince eyebrows stretched, the expression was very happy, not tired with wind and dust, Rib finally did not hold back, mentioned Jiang Wei: "Ah Wei heard that the prince was very happy, for fear of living in the palace will be inconvenient, and intends to go back to his home, but some time ago, he was not careful, he was dyed with cold, these days he has been coughing non-stop, and the Jiang family has no maid, Mr. Kiyoya often has to be on duty in the palace......"

The implication is that I still hope that the prince can keep Jiang Wei.

Yu Feng naturally knew what Rib meant, and bowed slightly: "Take a time, I'll persuade her." ”

"The slave maid has persuaded her, but Ah Wei is very worried about the county lord and will be dissatisfied with it." Rib quietly lowered his eyes.

Yu Feng frowned slightly, glanced at Rib, and finally didn't speak, only blocked Rib's hand that was about to tidy up his clothes, straightened his clothes, and stepped out of the clean room.

When I came out of the back garden, I saw that on the stone steps outside the main hall, Ash Du and Qingtian were standing and squatting, choking.

"Who said that the suburbs are deserted, haven't you seen the festive lights in Xianghe County, this time with the son, but I have tasted all the delicacies in the suburbs." The gray crossing that never leaves the world is extremely visible in front of the clear sky of abandoned Kyoto.

"Ha, who doesn't know that the son of the world is on this trip for the sake of the government, how can he take you to the lights, you will blow it, although I didn't go with me this time, but it was a blessing in disguise, do you know that the three Shuns of the Guogong Mansion know? Every now and then, he invited me out to drink, so I was rewarded a lot by Wu Niang. ”

"There are no rules, and you don't change your name to be the county lord?" Gray Du had a dark face, very dissatisfied.

"I don't care, I don't even care about Wu Niang, what does it have to do with you, you can get May if you change your words, at that time, it's ......"

Suddenly hearing a cough behind him, Qingkong hurriedly stood up, and a little white face smiled warmly: "Shizi, the little one can remember you." ”

Gray Du muttered: "I don't know who said 'a blessing in disguise' just now." Glared at by the clear sky, Gray Du glared back without showing weakness.

"What's the reward?" Yu Feng was curious, and didn't know what the purpose of the beautiful scenery sent Sanshun to "buy" the clear sky, so he simply sat down on the circle chair set up in the corridor, took the warm tea offered by the rib, and asked while drinking.

"But there are a lot, there are white jade cakes from Osmanthus Fang, Zhangjia fragrant sesame cakes in Qiaonan, and two auspicious gold ingots, the most ecstatic thing for the little one is that Wu Niang actually knew that the villain had a talent for dancing and writing, and rewarded a set of twelve Meng Tian fine pens." Seeing that the prince was noncommittal, Qingtian's eyes rolled: "Wu Niang has a heart, and asked Sanshun to inquire about the son's daily preferences, dietary preferences, refreshments, soups, etc., the villain was rewarded, of course, he knew everything, and the prince would have oral in the future." ”

stepped forward again, and flatteringly pinched his shoulders and rubbed his arms for the prince: "I heard that the prince went to Xianghe again, and Wu Niang also inquired about the return date of the prince, it should be that I miss you, but unfortunately the wedding date is set now, and there are still a hundred days before May......"

As a rule, the marriage contract between the two parties is good, and they should not meet.

But at the moment, some enlightened people, often also "yang and yin", especially the good of the family, the two sides often meet, this short is a few months, a long time is not seen, it is inevitable that the lovers will suffer, as long as they do not go out with great fanfare, when the elders allow, it is not impossible to see a few glances.

The meaning of Qingkong's words is to bewitch the prince to go to the opposite side.

Yu Feng was naturally noncommittal, a warm tea into his throat, and he felt refreshed, so he went to Rongxi Hall to greet the old princess.

Before he got started, he bumped into Yu Zhou.

Compared with the appearance of Luotuo, who was often drunk like mud years ago, Yu Zhou at this time, he actually returned to his previous vigor, and when he saw Yu Feng, he was obviously stunned, and saluted respectfully: "The eldest brother has returned?" ”

Yu Feng returned the salute: "I just returned home, the second brother just met his grandmother?" ”

"Exactly." Yu Zhou hesitated slightly, and finally pulled the corners of his lips: "I haven't congratulated my eldest brother yet." ”

"Confession." Yu Feng raised his eyebrows lightly, and his eyes caught the fleeting unwillingness on Yu Zhou's face, and smiled slightly: "I heard that the second brother was appointed as the Jingwei of Xishan, and he will go to the post in a few days." ”

Yu Zhou's heart is even more choked - Mo said that the children of the clan are the princess of the family, but the children enter the martial arts, most of them are the personal guards of the Son of Heaven, and they are also palace guards again, but after several twists and turns, he finally entered the Xishan Institute in charge of his father, although it is also a Jingwei, but in the end it is not as honorable as Jinwu, Yulin and other guards, although this is only a transition to the office, it is impossible for the sons and daughters of the clan to "take root" in the position of Jingwei, but compared to others, he lost a step at the starting line, and the future is undoubtedly more bumpy.

At this time, his face was also full of moonlight: "Exactly, tomorrow will be on duty, and it will be five days when I go, and I came to say goodbye to my grandmother." ”

"Second brother, take care." Yu Feng didn't want to say more, and took a step inside, but he heard Yu Zhou call behind him-

"Eldest brother, grandmother doesn't know where she heard that the fifth sister had been with the third highness...... I was angry, although I repeatedly argued, but it was just rumors, but my grandmother still minded, and the eldest brother had to say a few kind words for the fifth sister. ”

Where did you hear about it?

Yu Feng sneered in his heart, the saint was slightly moved that day, those words that must be given to marry were not the first to be spread in the palace, the old princess originally ignored the nosy matter, and she didn't care when she heard it, but this time she became angry, and it was not because of the people with intentions who provoked her many times.

He bowed his head slightly, but he didn't say a word.

Yu Zhou still stood outside the door, until he saw Yu Feng step up the jade steps, and a line of gloom flashed in the corner of his eyes - everything about yours originally belonged to me, and you remember, I will not stop there.

In the warm pavilion of Rongxi Hall, the old princess was really still annoyed, a room of maids was silent, and the big maid saw the prince entering, so she stepped forward with a smile: "The slave has seen the son." ”

As soon as the old princess heard this, she turned around slightly, her eyebrows were frowning, and she only waved to Yu Feng weakly, and let him sit on the edge of the kang: "But you're back, so is the saint, in this year's festival, it's such a cold day, and you are still asked to go to the suburbs to run around, there are so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, are you the only one doing things?" ”

Yu Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "Grandmother, this errand was originally invited by my grandson. ”

The old princess sighed heavily: "I am about to enter the palace, please think twice, you should not be so hasty in your marriage." ”

The matter is a bit serious, and his second aunt really has worked hard.

Yu Feng said: "Grandmother, since the Holy Lord has issued an edict, this matter has been settled, grandmother should not respond to some rumors......

"What rumors!" The old princess was in a hurry, and slapped on several cases: "Jing Yatou was a year ago, but she lived in the palace for a while, and I heard that the Third Highness had to take care of her......"

"Grandmother, the third highness is dying of life and death in order to save the fifth sister, if the fifth sister ignores it, how can the saint not blame the Guogong Mansion? This was originally reasonable, grandmother Mo believed the rumors and did things in disregard of the king's order. Yu Feng had no choice but to decompose.

"I also know this reason, but since the Third Highness has an intention for Jing Yatou, why did the Holy Lord not fulfill them, but he made this will, wouldn't it make you have a grudge with the Third Highness?" The old princess was full of sadness: "There is another layer, originally your second aunt still wanted to ask for this marriage, but she was rejected by Shangyuan, since she looks down on our house, why should the saint be strong." ”

Yu Feng suddenly felt that his brain was swollen, and after a long while, he said: "Don't hide it from grandmother, the queen mother intended to marry a year ago, and the fifth sister was not yet in time, so she didn't mention it clearly, my aunt and grandmother didn't look down on us, but she had already tacitly agreed with the queen mother, how could she agree to the second aunt." ”

"So, the Holy One originally intended it?" The old princess was stunned.

Yu Feng sighed secretly: "If it weren't for the promise made by the Holy One, how could he ignore the invitation of the Third Highness and insist on marrying his grandson." ”

This matter cannot be concealed, so it is simply said that it will save the person with evil intentions from using this as an excuse to stir up trouble.

"Grandmother, my grandson has admired my fifth sister for a long time, and it was not easy to find this marriage, please let my grandmother fulfill it." Yu Feng got up and shook his body seriously.

When the old princess heard this, she wiped out her grievances over the past few days, and finally sighed: "I was originally happy with Jing girl, and besides, our two mansions have been on good terms...... I'm a little worried, since you said so, of course my grandmother agrees, but Jing girl is a pampered person, and she is very temperamental, and you can be used to it everywhere in the future and be bullied by her. ”

Yu Feng really cried and laughed.

After another explanation, the old princess was completely coaxed to make her happy, and she had lunch with her, and then she said goodbye, and did not return to Guan Suiyuan, but went straight out of her house and went to the opposite door.

When the concierge of the Guogong Mansion saw the "future uncle", he was a little more attentive than before, and he heard that he was going to visit the princess in Yuanying Hall, and hurriedly instructed the soft sedan chair reception, but Yu Feng didn't want to take it, so he politely refused the kindness of the concierge, and did not want to be accompanied, all the way through the Yongdao, and went to the second gate.
