Chapter 318: Mr. Du

The emperor's dragon body is not safe, Pingyang only had a small banquet on this year's birthday, there are a lot of vehicles coming and going on the street in front of the princess's mansion, most of them are putting down the gifts and going home, and a few people have a banquet post and bring gifts into the door.

In the dusk, Yi Yu picked up early, saw that the time was almost up, fed her daughter another round of milk, turned a few pages of the book, and then the maid in the princess's mansion came to invite.

"Princess, there are guests in the garden, Her Royal Highness the princess asked the slave maid to come and lead you to the table, have you cleaned up?"

"Well, let's go."

Yi Yu touched the red face of her daughter, and asked Pingtong to hold a slender gift box, and followed the maid to the West Garden banquet hall, guessing who would come tonight.

Walking and walking, passing through the flower gate, and going down the corridor, occasionally a few maids carrying tea and water passed by, bowed and saluted, and the relics were politely called for exemption.

This side approached the door of the banquet hall, the sound of the music group's piano and drums was playing in his ears, and the sound of laughter and laughter was getting brighter.

She has been away from Chang'an for nearly a year, and now she is back in a "homeless" situation, and she will inevitably feel a little embarrassed when she thinks of meeting many acquaintances later.

"Princess?" When the maid who led the way saw her stop, she turned back and called, "Please go this way." ”

"Oh, good."

In the end, she was not a fledgling little girl, Yi Yu quickly put away the discomfort, adjusted her breathing, followed her around, and walked into the four wide open banquet halls.

As soon as the lights lit up in front of him, Yi Yu's eyes had not yet been able to adapt to the brocade clothes and flowers in the room, and his ears keenly heard that the voices in the room had broken off, leaving Lingling's rumbling music as the background.

She folded her hands in front of her abdomen, stared ahead, took a narrow step, and felt that her face was quite calm, Princess Pingyang sat on the short couch on the upper floor at a distance, and smiled at her, not showing much closeness, but also showing her attention appropriately.

"Congratulations to Her Royal Highness Princess on her birthday."

Pingyang nodded, and a maid stepped forward to accept the gift box presented by Pingtong, sent it to her, opened it, it was a scroll of white silk words, and a copy of the "Ning Xin Sutra" was copied on it, not the scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism, but an article that cultivates the mood of writing and painting, the original is a delicate and wonderful small seal, the author is nameless, the original is included in the library of the Wei Palace, there is no way to take it out at the moment, Pingyang got it, it is a copy of the jade that has been re-copied in the past two days, with the small Kai she is good at, I chose to write in the morning with a calm mind.

Pingyang likes to read, has taken a few glances, likes it in his heart, and looks up and says:

"Indeed, it is a desirable thing, so sit down."

Yi Yu heard everyone whispering, lowered her head slightly, followed the guidance of the maid, and walked to the seat on the left, this time was obviously arranged, Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Xiaofeng sat at the table next to her, as soon as she sat down, Cheng Xiaofeng turned her head and said to her:

"I just told my mother that when you don't come."

"Well," Yi Yu responded to her slowly, and nodded politely to Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Cheng smiled back, and it took a year before they met again, and the two did not show any affection, but Cheng Xiaofeng didn't understand, if it wasn't for Mrs. Cheng pulling her sleeve, she would have to come to the table with a wine glass.

There was wine and food on the case, and Yu Yu was not hungry, so she still picked up the chopsticks and pretended to be like her, and while the people in the hall were looking at her, she looked back quietly.

Birthday is usually seen by juniors, the older ones are mostly female dependents, male guests and female guests are not separated, but several princes sit in one place to drink, women talk next to each other, each chatting about each other, not a table.

The first thing Yi Yu noticed was the eldest grandson Xi opposite, she didn't need to deliberately look for it, the beautiful Princess Han was the most eye-catching one wherever she went.

Eldest Sun Xi happened to be looking at her too, and the two glanced at each other, and Yi Yu was the first to withdraw his gaze.

"See," Cheng Xiaofeng still stroked Mrs. Cheng's wrist, sat down at the Yu Yu table, pointed slightly in the direction of Changsun Xi with the tip of his chin, lowered his voice slightly, and said:

"It is said that the king of Han should go back to the fiefdom last year, and it happened that she was pregnant, and the people of the palace stayed in the capital on this basis, and the child was born, and she borrowed her weak body, so she simply lived in the capital for a long time, and did not mention the matter of returning, and asked me to say, where is this to marry a princess, and people are clearly married to a princess."

The eldest grandson Xi gave birth to a baby girl in April this year, with the eldest grandson Wuji, a powerful maternal grandfather, and the eldest daughter of the Han Dynasty's mansion, she was born to collect thousands of favors, and at the 100-day banquet, the emperor personally gave the name Li Leshu, and named the lord of Yiyang County.

Yi Yu was not very interested in the recent situation of Changsun Xi, and listened to Cheng Xiaofeng's broken thoughts without saying a word, and was stared at by a pair of eyes that were sneering or smiling, but he didn't see it, and he ate wine and food.

"This palace is not strong enough to drink, go down to rest first, you stay and drink a few rounds, don't let this palace disturb the interest."

In the middle of the banquet, Pingyang left early under the pretext of excuse, and everyone knew that she was seriously ill last year, and her health was not as good as before, so they got up to send her off.

Yi Yu originally planned to leave later, but Pingyang glanced at her inconspicuously before leaving, so that she could understand that this matter was not over.

Sure enough, after Pingyang left, it didn't take long for the banquet, which was very harmonious just now, to change its tone all of a sudden, and everyone spoke loudly, and they could be built across a few tables, and they all went in one direction:

"When did Princess Wei come back?"

"Last month."

"Did you hear that you live in the princess's mansion now?"

"It's borrowed here." Yi Yu doesn't care if he is familiar with his eyes, and he will answer a question if someone asks.

"Yo, this is still true," the questioner just now turned his head, and said to the adjacent table in a low voice, "Look, I'll just say that the third princess gave birth to a bodhisattva heart, alas... It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. ”

"That's not the case, but some people are born with a layer of more skin than the others, so there's no way, right?"

"You're laughing again, but don't let others hear and misunderstand."

"If you misunderstand something, it's just a matter of facts, and I don't know which nose to point to."

Yi Yu heard the strange smell in these people's words, and her heart sank, and she suddenly understood why Pingyang wanted her to have a banquet with her, presumably to let her see clearly, what kind of face this person was facing when he was down.

Listening to the giggling around her, looking at the few people sitting far away and pointing at the side of the Yiyu, Cheng Xiaofeng was annoyed, it wasn't for Mrs. Cheng on the road who told her not to make trouble, the wine in her hand had already spilled on the opposite face.

As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Yu Yu was still eating vegetables in small bites, with a good temper, and when she called Cheng Xiaofeng, she jumped up again:

"Are you stuffed in your ears, and they arrange you like this, and you can still eat? I'm. ”

Yi Yu turned his wrist, added a piece of spicy lung slices to Cheng Xiaofeng's plate, and said softly:

"Then what can I do, do I have to scold them one by one? This is the princess's mansion, and now it is the birthday banquet of Princess Pingyang, they don't understand the rules, do I have to be embarrassed? . ”

With a "bang", Cheng Xiaofeng put the wine glass on the case and said angrily:

"To be reasonable, I never talked to you, but I just can't get used to seeing you swallow your anger - I'll go out to breathe."

Cheng Xiaofeng was full of anger, directly carrying half a pot of wine, got up and left the table, passed by the young ladies who laughed the most, shook the knife over, and closed their mouths.

Cheng Xiaofeng left, and Mrs. Cheng comforted the somewhat stunned Yuyu: "Alas, Xiaofeng speaks, don't take it to heart, she is also kind, but she didn't think much about your current situation." ”

"I know." Yi Yu nodded, lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of almond porridge into his mouth, his mouth bitter.

How could she be willing to be a person who swallowed her anger, but she had too many concerns, how could she be happy with her revenge, the Wei Wangfu is not as good as in the past, and before Li Tai came back, she had to support herself.

"I'm going out for a walk, it's too stuffy in this room."

Mrs. Cheng said goodbye and left the table.

Outside the banquet hall was directly connected to a garden, and lanterns were hung under the trees in front of the porch, and it was dark, and the garden was dimly lit by this lantern.

She walked aimlessly to the west for a while, went around to the back of the house, found a bamboo chair under an old locust tree, brushed it with a handkerchief, saw that there was no dust, and then sat down, this bamboo chair was very suitable, she unconsciously lay down, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at a deep night sky overhead.

"The night is heavy, are you sitting here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

At first hearing the voice of a man talking, Yu Yu was still immersed in her thoughts, and she couldn't come back to her senses in time, and when the figure came out from under the tree, she sat up straight and looked at the person with some surprise.

The man in front of him, with a green robe and jade belt, was polite, standing a few steps away with his hands in his hands, and he didn't intend to step forward again, without any offense, but with a little imperceptible concern in his tone.

“... I've seen Master Du. ”

Yi Yu got up from the chaise longue, bowed to the visitor, found this person from the more distant memory, and matched the name, she had actually been doing the same thing all night, connecting the strange and familiar faces at the birthday banquet with the memory one by one.

By the moonlight, Du Ruojin saw clearly the politeness on her face in an instant, her eyes were slightly dark, her eyes fell on the flower garden in the distance, and she opened her mouth and said:

"If you don't mind, call me Mr. Du, there is always a teacher-student relationship, which is more pleasant to listen to than Lord Du."

Yi Yu heard his self-deprecation in his words, and didn't know how to interface for a while, in terms of acquaintance, there were five or six years, after her eldest brother's accident, Du Ruojin helped a lot, and even her eldest brother's last "suicide note" was forwarded to her through him.

However, she has not been in contact with each other in the past two years, and she has long been unfamiliar with passers-by, and she herself has forgotten the old friend of this brother, but the other party still remembers it, which is quite ungrateful, and it really makes her ashamed, so she salutes again with kindness:

"Mr. Du."

Du Ruojin nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the atmosphere was not so awkward, before asking:

"Have you heard that the manuscript of "Kun Yuanlu" was taken away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Huh? Sir also knows this? ”

"Well, I am in charge of the part of this album, because I am worried that they will be lost and destroyed by moving around, so I asked the prince for this errand and is responsible for keeping it."

When Yi Yu heard this, he came to his senses, "So, where are all those manuscripts placed in you?" ”

"Exactly," Du Ruojin saw that she was very concerned, thought about it, looked around left and right, and saw that no one was moving, so she lowered her voice and said:

"I won't hide it from you, the prince deliberately ruined these manuscripts at first, and I have made him temporarily dispel this idea after several rounds, you don't need to worry, I will keep these documents properly, as long as King Wei can get rid of the crime smoothly, I will return them in full."

Hearing this, Yu Yu was overjoyed, Du Ruojin's personality, she still knew something, it was really good to have him to keep those manuscripts, she was grateful, and immediately clasped her fingers, bowed her head and said:

"Let me bother sir, I thank you here."

Du Ruojin smiled slightly, "Thank you, it's cold at night, you don't have to stay in this garden, if you don't want to go in to eat again, go back to rest early." ”

Yi Yu said yes, and followed him to the front of the house, talked a few words on the way, and made an appointment to take her to see the manuscripts in two days.
