In the early morning of the next day, the spring was beautiful, and a Qisha carved wooden chariot was parked outside Jinchun Garden, which was sent out to pick up Dong Xuanying in Yuwang's mansion. The chariot is pulled by eight horses, which is enough to sit four or five people, and Wei Qihua, who has a golden crown and a cloud bun and a palace costume with water sleeves, has already been seated on it.

After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Wei Qihua gently rubbed the gem armor and asked lazily: "Why haven't you second miss come out yet?" We have to go through layers of checkpoints to enter the palace, and it will be too late to do so. ”

The grandmother at the door smiled like a flower, bowed and replied: "I have been urged a few times, and the second lady will be there soon!" ”

Wei Qihua "hummed", Hui Huang's eyes rolled, and he raised his voice: "Then I'll go and see the fourth sister first, and let your second lady hurry up, ah~~"

So, the carved wooden chariot rattled and stopped at the gate of Fengyuzhai steadily. The maid in the courtyard, who was picking the morning dew on the holly leaves, saw this gorgeous carriage, knocked over half a bottle of dew in surprise, and hurriedly ran to the upper room.

Soon Dong Qianmo walked out, wearing a moon-white Liuxian skirt embroidered with three or four light blue flowers, covered with white yarn, a plain brocade belt around her waist, and a string of small silver bells tied around her waist.

The long black and shiny hair is curled, half coiled and half hanging, reflecting the skin like coagulation, crystal clear, and elegant. At first glance, there was only a shallow indifference in the dark pupils, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a three-point demon, which stunned Wei Qihua at once.

After being stunned for a moment, Wei Qihua brought a complicated smile and said slowly: "It's only been a few days since I saw it, and my sister is even more smart, which makes my sister envious when she sees it." ”

Dong Qianmo held the Xi Shi Huansha fan in his hand, covered his mouth with a fan and smiled: "My cousin-in-law will joke with me, you are a beautiful woman, only others envy you, how can you envy others?" ”

"Fourth sister, get in the car," Wei Qihua beckoned, "let me take a closer look at you." ”

"Yes."

Dong Qianmo got into the car, Wei Qihua took her hand and asked with a smile: "Why doesn't my sister go to the palace to play with me?" I don't come looking for you, you never know to look for me. The second half of the sentence turned into a resentful tone, and the ears of the listener were numb.

Dong Qianmo pursed his mouth and said, "How can our sisters be so free as our cousins, we don't need to report to our elders wherever we want to go." I've thought about my cousin several times, but I can't get out. ”

Wei Qihua said briskly: "Didn't you say it earlier, this is not easy to do?" I have four maidservants, all of whom were bought from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, you go and tell the old lady that you want to learn the very fashionable Huren dance in the capital with them, and I will let the car pick you up every day, how about it? ”

Dong Qianmo listened to it and excused himself: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn, one day the old lady really asks me to dance a song, and I will be embarrassed." ”

Wei Qihua said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you have to be a girl of your age to learn Hu Dance, with a soft waist and limbs, no matter how you bend it." The red lips were attached to Dong Qianmo's earlobe, "Then it's decided, when your cousin returns home in two days, I will have someone pick you up." ”

Dong Qianmo asked with a little surprise: "Didn't my cousin go back to the palace yesterday?" ”

Wei Qihua didn't understand why she asked like this, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't Your Highness burned by the fire and still living in the temple to recuperate?" Why, did you see him yesterday? ”

Dong Qianmo said slowly: "I didn't see it, but I heard my father mention that my cousin was a little injured while hunting in the suburbs the night before and was carried back to Beijing on a stretcher." It's strange, didn't my cousin go back to the palace to recuperate? Where did that go? ”

After Wei Qihua listened, the beginning of the pleasant look on his face had long since disappeared, and a pair of eyes turned around, not knowing what he thought.

After a while, she opened her lips and smiled: "Ho, we don't have to ask about their men's affairs, our women's family is busy with our own affairs!" Why don't the four sisters also enter the palace with them, and the sister will take you to the palace to see and learn. ”

Dong Qianmo's eyes were surprised, and he asked, "Can the palace also be visited casually?" The Queen Mother only summoned the second sister into the palace to play the qin, and I didn't dare to plunder the beauty. ”

Wei Qi said: "What are you afraid of, according to the convention, your second sister has no grade and no rank, and you can bring a maid." I, enter the palace as a princess, and I am allowed to bring four maids, and I will take you with me. Don't be afraid when others ask, this is not a violation of palace rules. ”

"This ......"

At this moment, Mama Li walked along the courtyard wall, and saw Dong Qianmo and Princess Yu sitting side by side on the carved wooden chariot, stepped forward, and said, "Just in time, the fourth lady is also dressed appropriately, and this body can enter the palace!" ”

"Mama from the old lady?" Dong Qianmo asked.

"Yes," Mama Li approached and lowered her voice, "The old lady thought about it and thought that it was better for the fourth miss to accompany the second miss to go with her, and in case the second miss had a problem, the fourth miss would also be on top." ”

"Oh?" Wei Qihua looked at Dong Qianmo again, "The fourth sister can also play the piano?" Is it better than your second sister? What a smart girl, and very humble, she never mentioned it to me. ”

"Back to the princess, that's exactly the case," Mama Li said earnestly, "The old lady has explained, the two young ladies are not familiar with life in the palace, and they still hope that the princess will take care of them." ”

Wei Qi drew phoenix eyes and squinted, spit out words like beads, and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of them." ”

For a while, the carved wooden chariot was reverted back to Jinchun Garden, and Dong Xuanying, who was dressed up, was already waiting outside the garden, I don't know how long she had been waiting. Just looking at Mama Ju's anxious appearance of burning her eyebrows, you know that she must have waited for a while.

Dong Xuanying wore a cicada wing beaded tulle on her face, a delicate face looming, and she was still wearing the cherry red flying brocade dark pattern palace dress, the skirt was decorated with mandala flowers, her posture was slender, her waist was straight, and her face was proud and reserved.

As soon as the jade foot was raised, she stepped on the lotus step by step, and then the eight horses began to gallop, and the surrounding scenery gradually regressed, and soon left the Dong Mansion and went in the direction of the palace gate.

Dong Qianmo apologized to her and said, "It's all my fault for talking to my cousin-in-law, delaying the hour and making the second sister wait for a long time." ”

Dong Xuanying said "um".

Dong Qianmo replied: "Second sister must be strange, why do I go with me, right?" In fact, I was able to enter the palace gate because of the lack of a maid from my cousin-in-law, and the old lady asked me to follow to strengthen my second sister's courage. ”

Dong Xuanying looked at the sky with her eyes and let out a low "hmm".

After a pause, Dong Qianmo said again: "Second sister don't have to be too nervous, I heard that when playing in the palace, there are musical instruments such as reed, zhu, se, pan flute, gonghou and so on. ”

Speaking like this, she obviously underestimated Dong Xuanying's piano skills, according to her usual temperament, she had already opened her eyes beautifully, and refuted it coquettishly.

But today is really weird, Dong Xuanying, who has always been above the top, was said to have no temper at all, just rolled the whites of her eyes and looked at the sky.

Dong Qianmo stopped talking, but a little doubt rose in his heart.

Why is Dong Xuanying like a different person today, and there is no longer any pampering and domineering of Miss Dong Er?

Originally, it was her who was summoned by the Queen Mother, but the old lady was worried that she would not be able to bear such glory, so she asked Dong Qianmo, who had been performing more and more well recently, to help her. Even if Dong Xuanying is not angry, she should sneer at her to conform to her consistent temperament.

For many years, she has been a unique and noble daughter in the house, known for her beauty, diligence, and high talent, and has long been accustomed to being held high.

It's hard to imagine that when she found out that her piano skills were far inferior to her sister, she could accept it so calmly.

Under the tulle shrouded in powder, the facial features are exquisitely outlined, and the temperament is elegant and refined, in short, today's Dong Xuanying, no matter how you look at it, it is weird.

As for the blame, when the carved wooden chariot stopped and Dong Xuanying took the lead in getting out of the car, Dong Qianmo finally saw some clues - his back was straight, his steps were light, and his breathing was quite orderly, these are the manifestations of people who practice martial arts.

When Dong Qianmo got out of the car, he let out "Oops! With a scream, he fell straight forward. Wei Qihua in the back raised his hand and pulled it, only to pull it empty.

At this moment, Dong Qianmo's whole person fell towards Dong Xuanying, these two people had not stepped on the ground yet, and there were no handrails around, so it was inevitable that they would fall.

The next moment, Dong Xuanying in front of her was a swallow to explore the flowers, her waist was bent down, her hands were supporting the ground forward, and a beautiful foot with a gauze skirt drawn into a semicircle in the air kicked straight back, impartial, just against Dong Qianmo's chest.

The force that came from Xiuzu's feet immediately made Dong Qianmo stop the fall and shake it twice to stand up.

Such a sensitive response and flexible movements made several maids stunned.

Second Miss She ......

Then, Dong Xuanying, who made a move out of natural reaction, immediately realized that something was wrong, and then screamed "ouch", and fell to the side weakly.

The maids hurriedly ran over to help Dong Xuanying up, and the personal maid Xiangyun checked it, but didn't find any injuries, so she turned around and reprimanded: "Fourth Miss, how can you be so careless!" It's okay if you fall, but don't bump into our young lady! ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Damn, damn it, it's all to blame me for being too careless - don't blame me for it, first ask the second sister where she bumped into it?" ”

So Xiangyun asked, "Miss, where did you fall and hurt, but you have to tell the slave." ”

Dong Xuanying shook her head, a concise word, "No." ”

Dong Qianmo said: "Is there really not?" That fragrant cloud, quickly dust off the second sister, and lo and behold, the flowers on her shoulders are stained with dust. ”

Xiangyun stretched out his hand to dust off.

Dong Xuanying dodged for a moment and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll come by myself." This is the sentence she said the most words along the way, and it can be clearly heard that it is different from her usual graceful voice of Huang Li out of the valley.

Dong Qianmo blinked in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with the second sister's voice, it sounds very hoarse?" ”

Xiangyun replied: "Second Miss ate too many fried spring rolls last night, and her throat was on fire, and her voice was so hoarse when she came together this morning." ”

Dong Qianmo said: "No wonder the second sister didn't speak along the way, why didn't she tell me earlier?" I brought medicinal candy, it is very effective to treat a sore throat, and the second sister has one. He handed over a small square sandalwood box.

Dong Xuanying said in a dumb voice: "No." ”

Dong Qianmo handed it directly to Xiangyun, so Xiangyun took out a few medicinal candies and persuaded on his behalf: "Miss still has two, otherwise your voice can't speak at a critical time, but how can it be good?" ”

Wei Qihua also smiled and said, "What's the matter, the second cousin's throat has fallen?" You have to take medicine to get better. ”

Several pairs of eyes revolved around Dong Xuanying, and Dong Xuanying reluctantly lifted the corner of the cicada wing veil and bit off two medicinal candies from Xiangyun's palm.

When you enter the palace gate, you can no longer take a car and a sedan car.

Wei Qihua took the lead, followed by Dong Qianmo and the other three palace maids. Walking side by side are Dong Xuanying and Xiangyun.

Walking and walking, Dong Qianmo took two steps behind, lowered his head to study the footprints on his chest, and made another interesting discovery - the footprints of the dusty outline left by Dong Xuanying's delicate feet were roughly estimated to be at least six inches, which can be called a pair of big feet.

And half a month ago, when he taught the piano face-to-face with Dong Xuanying, Dong Qianmo had seen her pair of delicate golden lotuses, which were definitely no more than four inches.

How can Dong Xuanying, who eats spring rolls and gets angry, even her feet have become longer?
