Chapter 103: First Acquaintance (3)
Shangguan Yuli and Guan Feng stayed in Shangjing for a few days before rushing back to prepare for marriage. The way back is a bit more lively than when you came. Because, Shangguan Yi'er and Shangguan Yuxian also went together.
This is the first time that the sister and brother have gone out since they grew up so much, at first Jing Chen was not at ease, and he didn't plan to let Yu Xian follow, he was still a lot younger, and he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with it, Shangguan Jun persuaded him, they are all the people who set up the prince, how should they be sharpened, and with Li Xingyun following, he will mention him.
Speaking of Li Xingyun, twelve years ago in Dali, a pair of legs were almost wasted, but thanks to Yin Jingyu, he was able to keep it. It's just that I can't go to war anymore. Since then, he has served as a training officer in the military. Guiding the training of the new army, and familiarizing himself with military books, Yu Xian was older, so he followed Li Xingyun to learn the art of war.
Li Xingyun's main mission in Pingcheng this time was to guide the army there, and he was also invited by Guan Liren. Li Xingyun is a typical type of lost eastern elm and harvested mulberry elm. Unable to participate in actual combat, he was obsessed with theory, studied the art of war, and wrote many theoretical classics. It was also admired by many generals.
Along the way, Yi'er was very excited, like a bird that had just learned to fly, and there was a thrill when she flew under the blue sky for the first time. Li Yuni didn't restrain her, knowing that it was mostly because she was holding back in the palace, so that when her nature was liberated, she really looked like Shangguan Ying when she was a child.
She knew that Shangguan Jun was even more fond of Yi'er than Yu Xian. The men of the Shangguan family are particularly partial to girls. At the beginning, Shangguan Han was also strict with his son. smiled at her daughter, and loved her perfectly. Speaking of him, she kept sighing in her heart. I don't know if Yu Lin can find him. It's been more than ten years, and she has nothing she can't let go.
For the first time, Yi'er saw the mountains, lakes and seas, blue sky and white clouds outside. Every scenery is more beautiful than the capital. In fact, in terms of refinement, it may not be as good as the palace, but the natural growth and free atmosphere still fascinates her.
She felt that the world outside the palace was so colorful, her life was restricted by the palace, and suddenly she wanted to go out for a walk while she was young. But the first one who disagreed was his father. If she wants to get rid of her father, she must first convince her mother. This matter should also be considered in the long run. She planted a seed in her heart and waited for him to take root and sprout.
The group traveled for several days and finally arrived at Pingcheng. Yu Xian and Li Xingyun were taken to the General's Mansion by Guan Liren's people, and Yi'er was going to accompany Yu Li to get married, so she went to the Li Mansion with Li Yuni.
After a few days of driving, Yi'er was also tired, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, Li Yuni understood her tiredness and didn't wake her up.
After sleeping enough, Yi'er felt much better. She wore her hair loose and wore a dress casually, and there were generally no outsiders in the house of the second emperor's aunt, so she had no scruples.
She went to Yuli's room first, and when she wasn't there, she walked around the garden alone, and she didn't ask anyone to follow. At this time, in the middle of summer, a pond of lotus flowers and koi fish in the garden, as well as unspeakable famous flowers, are in full bloom. It's really fragrant.
Yi'er teased the koi for a while, then walked to the pavilion, walked all the way, it was a little hot, to find a shady place to enjoy the cool.
To get to the gazebo, she had to go through the corridor, and she walked slowly, admiring the scenery on both sides. Before she arrived at the gazebo, she saw a person from a distance, and she was stunned. The man seemed to spot her and stopped.
The man was dressed in a white robe, and he looked white and pure, and he was really a jade tree in the wind. Not smiling, it looks a little serious. Yi'er is not leaving, nor is he entering, hesitating.
Dong Xiao was going to come back a few days earlier than Yuli and the others, and when he heard that his aunt and his party were back, they came over early in the morning to say goodbye. He had just come with Yu Li, but his aunt had something to ask her to come over, so he walked around the garden alone. But I didn't want to touch her. At this time, there is only one possibility for someone who can come and go freely in the Li Mansion, and she is the eldest princess Shangguan Yuqiong.
When he came, Uncle Yunxi had already told him in advance that this time the eldest princess and the prince came to Pingcheng together, and his aunt was afraid to tell him in advance, just to let him know in his heart.
The eldest princess was so casually dressed that he was taken aback, her hair was not wearing any accessories, and she was dressed in a goose yellow dress, which was unusually conspicuous in the back garden, but it was not abrupt.
A gust of wind blew, and petals fell on her hair, and the picture of such a person and scenery becoming one made him distracted. But he regained his expression in an instant, and he nodded to her.
She paused visibly, then slowly approached the gazebo. But he turned around. What a strange person, Yi'er thought to herself. She looked at her like this, she was not shy, he took advantage of it, and left without saying anything. No manners guy. She slandered in her heart.
She sat in the gazebo for a while, a girl hurriedly came to report, Yuli was looking for her, she tidied up her clothes, gently dusted off the petals that fell on her clothes, and followed the little girl away without hurrying.
She went back to her room first, and Yu Li was waiting for her in her room. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but blame her subordinates, "Why don't you serve the princess well, how can you let her go out like this?" ”
Everyone bowed their heads and was silent, and Yi'er excused them, "I don't have to serve the imperial sister, there are a bunch of people in the palace, and you still don't let me be quiet here." Besides, there were no outsiders in the house, and I didn't go far. But she still ran into outsiders, and she couldn't say it easily.
Yu Li personally helped her comb her hair, and picked out a light green dress for her. Yi'er obediently put it on and went to the front hall with her. No wonder this person was in such a hurry, it turned out that Brother Feng had arrived.
She was going to make fun of her for being in such a hurry, and as soon as the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back, and the person she had just met in the gazebo was also there. chatting with the second emperor's aunt and brother Feng.
As soon as everyone saw her come in, they all looked over, and the second imperial aunt pulled her to sit beside her and introduced her, "This is Xiao'er." ”
Yi'er, her face turned white suddenly, thinking that just now when he saw that she hadn't washed, she had the heart to hit the wall, who is not good, why is he biased. There's nowhere to put my face.
Yi'er was still thinking about what happened just now, Dong Xiao saluted her, she also heard it, Yu Li snorted and laughed, "Yi'er, I'm still thinking about what happened when I was a child." ”
Dong Xiao was stunned, and looked at Yu Li for some reason, Yu Li covered the handkerchief and laughed with the flower branches. "When you were young, Yi'er always remembered it."
Yi'er glanced at her, which pot didn't open the pot. How could Dong Xiao not remember, when he was a child, he beat her, and she cried and complained in front of her family. Yes, he just doesn't like her, why does everyone revolve around her. And why can she have the love of her parents, but he can't. Her father, the Emperor, had torn his family apart. He hated, and at that moment his little heart hated Shangguan Jun to the bone. The same is true today.
Dong Xiao quietly changed the topic, "Uncle, I've been out for a long time, Xiao'er is going back." Aunt Yunxi is a little uncomfortable in the morning, I have to go back to have a look. ”
Li Yuni heard her say this, and she didn't stop him, "Then go back quickly." ”
Guan Feng also got up, "I'll go with Dong Xiao to have a look." ”
Li Yuni nodded, Yuli took Yi'er's hand, and said to Li Yuni: "Mother, let me and Yi'er also go to see the eldest aunt." Li Yuni agreed, "It's okay, then you can go." But come back early, don't make trouble with the aunt. ”
Yu Li smiled and took Yi'er's hand and left. Yi'er didn't see her imperial brother Yu Xian since she came in, and she was only caring about dealing with Dong Xiao just now, and she forgot to ask Yu Xian, so she remembered it at this time. She followed Guan Feng and called out, "Brother Feng." ”
Guan Feng and Dong Xiao turned around at the same time, she glanced at Dong Xiao, and then looked at Guan Feng, "What about Yu Xian?" ”
"Back to the princess, Yu Xian followed my father and General Li to the barracks early in the morning."
"Oh," Yi'er was relieved at this time, but she didn't expect Yu Xian to be so active and serious, I'm afraid it's mostly because of General Li's relationship.
Along the way, Guan Feng and Dong Xiao walked in front, Yi'er came to Pingcheng for the first time, and saw the prosperity of Shangjing, and Pingcheng was not bad. It has its own characteristics.
Slowly, Yu Li and Guan Feng walked together, and she and Dong Xiao fell behind. The two of them had nothing to say, they were silent, and they arrived at Shangguan Mansion like this.
Chu Yunxi, seeing them coming together, especially Yi'er, was very happy. Holding Yi'er's hand and asking.
Yuli couldn't help but quip, "Auntie, if you do this again, I will be jealous." ”
Chu Yunxi smiled: "Yu Li's temperament is the same as your mother's." ”
"Then I'll take it as a compliment." Yu Li replied with a smile.
Chu Yunxi and Yi'er both laughed in unison. At this time, a woman came out and served them tea. Look at the clothes and dress up like a subordinate. Chu Yunxi introduced Yi'er, "This is Bi'er, who grew up with Xiao'er." ”
Bi'er asked Yi'er to salute again, and Yi'er left her mind, and she was dignified and generous, and she was graceful and polite. It can be seen that Chu Yunxi trusts her.
She served tea to everyone, but when she arrived at Dong Xiao's side, she smiled at him, and he responded with a smile. This scene was just in Yi'er's eyes, and it seemed that there seemed to be something between Bi'er and Dong Xiao. She didn't take it to heart.
"Is your queen mother's health okay?" Chu Yunxi inquired about Jing Chen's body.
Yi'er promised, "The things that the queen mother brought to the imperial aunt should be sent to the house, right?" ”
"I arrived, I received it yesterday, and your mother hung it."
"It should." Yi'er responded with a smile. Chu Yunxi seemed to remember something, and said to Yi'er: "It's free, let Bi'er take you to the mansion for a walk, as well as the princess's mansion where your father and mother lived in the past." ”
Yi'er couldn't close her mouth when she heard the music, it was really good to be like this. She thanked Chu Yunxi for her thoughtfulness.
Chu Yunxi left a few more people to dine together, and several people coincided. Yi'er was the only one who felt awkward, because she still had to face Dong Xiao. But she couldn't spoil everyone's interest, so she tried to hide her emotions, so that there were fewer words.
During the banquet, Guan Feng and Dong Xiao drank a lot of wine. Bi'er was busy filling up vegetables for Yuli and Yi'er. Yi'er listened to them talk about Mobei, Bodu, and the past of childhood, and couldn't help but be envious.
