Chapter 133: Flower Dynasty Festival (2)
Qi Pan and Xiaoyu arrived at the second gate, Qi Fei hadn't come yet, and the second prince was already sitting on horseback with Qi Heng in his arms.
The second prince is wearing a crown of purple and gold pearls today, wiping his forehead with light gold embroidered four seasons, and wearing a robe with arrow sleeves of the same color, and the whole person is refreshing and neat.
Qi Heng was wearing a red brocade robe with a big collar, beaming with joy and cute.
Qi Pan and Xiao Yu met the second prince first, and then got into a black canopy car in front, and Bai Fu and Bai Shao got into a green canopy car in the back.
After waiting for a while, the second prince rode his horse to the side of the carriage, and Qi Heng, who was sitting in his arms, said a little impatiently: "Big sister, why don't you leave?" ”
Qi Pan lifted the curtain, glared at Qi Heng and said, "Sister Fei hasn't come yet, why are you so unruly!" ”
Qi Heng pouted and said, "Didn't you say that you would leave on time, it's been a quarter of an hour now!" ”
Qi Pan pursed his lips and said, "Your sister Fei has only been here for a short time, and she is not familiar with any place, and it may be possible that she has gone wrong!" ”
Qi Heng lowered his head and said unconvinced: "So many maids-in-law, they are all old people in the house, how can they go wrong!" ”
Qi Pan said helplessly when he heard this: "Heng'er, you are not young anymore, there are some things that should be said and not said, you have to learn something!" ”
Qi Heng made a grimace, tugging at the sleeve of the second prince and begging the second prince to take him for a ride first.
The second prince looked at Qi Pan, shook his head and said: "It's not good to ride a horse in the mansion, you wait patiently, stay a while and get to the riverside, let's find a wide place for you to ride!" Qi Heng cheered, and didn't bother to pay attention to Qi Fei's lateness.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Qi Fei finally arrived, and Qi Pan saw Qi Fei swaying gently with Cuiping Lotus from afar.
"Huh?" Qi Pan couldn't help but wonder after seeing people clearly.
"Why is Sister Fei dressed so shabby, didn't her mother make her two sets of spring shirts two days ago?" Qi Pan turned his head to look at Xiaoyu suspiciously.
Xiao Yu leaned her head to the curtain of the car and looked around, "Yes, why is she still wearing old winter clothes?" The two pretty faces looked at each other.
Qi Fei, who was late, saluted the second prince first, and said softly: "Second prince, the little girl is late, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ”
Without waiting for the second prince to speak, Qi Heng, who had exhausted all his patience, shouted: "Okay, okay, Sister Fei, hurry up and get in the car and go, if you stay for a while, there will be many people on the street and the carriage will not be able to walk!" Qi Fei's face changed slightly, and he got up and looked around.
"Sister Fei! Over here! Qi Pan stretched his hand out of the window and waved it at Qi Fei, but Qi Fei didn't say anything, only lowered his head and climbed into the carriage.
When Qi Fei entered the carriage, Xiaoyu and Qi Pan were startled.
Although Qi Fei was wearing a half-new apricot-colored winter dress, she had a pink peony with a budding petal on her head, and her tall peony bun made her top-heavy, and several gilded pearl hairpins were inserted in her hair. The contrast between the graceful and luxurious hairstyle and the cold clothes is more and more stark.
Xiao Yu and Qi Pan glanced at each other, and after the incident of Zi Yu in the morning, neither of them could give an opinion on Qi Fei's dress.
"Sister Pan'er, why do you have only such a carriage in the Hou Mansion, and you want the three of us to squeeze together, I thought it was a carriage for each person!" Qi Fei said critically while deliberately touching the peony on his sideburns.
Qi Pan frowned slightly, and explained softly: "There are many people and cars in the Flower Dynasty Festival, so when the first emperor was there, he stipulated that even if the officials above the third grade were in the Flower Dynasty Festival, they could only send two carriages at most!" ”
Because of the closeness, Xiao Yu found that Qi Fei's face had a rough red skin under the thick powder, and there were faint traces of chilblains on his fingers.
Xiao Yu glanced at Qi Pan suspiciously, although Qi Fei's family is not a rich and noble family, it should not be enough to let the unmarried girl take care of the housework herself!
But Qi Fei is so clear that the wind and sun blow the skin on his face rough, and his fingers will be covered with chilblains after touching cold water for a long time. Qi Pan followed Xiaoyu's gaze, and then shook his head in confusion.
"Sister Fei's head is quite beautiful!" Xiaoyu really couldn't find any topic, so he had nothing to say.
Qi Fei touched his hair proudly and said: "Sister Pan'er, it's not that I said, it's really that the maid ring in your house is too unruly, although I came from a small place, but I am not a person who has never seen the world. If it weren't for the cleverness of my family's cuiping and the flower I picked in the garden, I really wouldn't be able to pick a good hairpin flower today! ”
Qi Pan heard Qi Fei say this, his face changed slightly, his eyes swept over the peony several times, and muttered, "Oh my God, it won't be such a coincidence!" ”
Xiao Yu suddenly remembered what Mrs. said a few days ago, stared at the peony a few times and said, "This can't be the legendary Shih Tzu powder!" ”
Qi Pan glanced sideways at Xiao Yu in a daze and said, "Second sister, I'm just afraid...... I'm afraid this is the Shih Tzu powder! Xiaoyu's expression changed greatly, and he exclaimed in surprise and was silent.
At this time, Qi Fei, who had been complacent, also heard a little taste, she looked at Qi Pan's stiff expression suspiciously, and said, "Sister Pan'er, is there anything wrong with this flower?" ”
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the depression in his heart and said: "There is nothing wrong with this flower, but the queen loves peony the most, and it will be the queen's birthday in two days." Half a year ago, Mrs. sent people around to search, and finally found a rare peony "Shih Tzu powder", a few days ago I also heard Mrs. said that she let the florist carefully maintain, just so that this Shih Tzu powder can bloom on the queen's birthday! ”
After speaking, she looked up at Qi Fei and said lightly: "Sister Fei, I'm afraid that the Hou Mansion has turned the world upside down now!" ”。
Qi Fei raised his hand and touched the peony, his face revealed a little hasty, and he said calmly: "How is it possible, if it is that rare treasure, there must be someone to guard it, how can it let Cuiping fold it casually!" Besides, no matter how precious a flower is, it can be worth a few dollars, but it's a big deal...... Big deal, I'm ...... If you find the same, you will lose! ”
Xiao Yu sneered: "If anyone can buy a pot, then it won't be a rare treasure." I've probably heard my wife mention that the pot of Shih Tzu spent thousands of taels of silver to buy, and there is only one pot in the world! Sister Fei, you still pray that your Cuiping girl is not folding this pot! Qi Fei's face changed greatly, he hung his head and was silent, and his expression kept changing.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the carriage, Xiaoyu raised his eyes, the carriage had just left the second gate, and a man dressed as a servant in the house stopped the carriage with Yahuan sitting behind.
The second prince rode his horse to inquire, and after a while, he came over and said, "Whose maid is that?" The gardener in the house said that this girl stole the lady's flowers! ”
Qi Fei was shocked, slowly raised his head, and looked at where the second prince was pointing. The gardener was angrily pointing at a little girl, and kept scolding something.
When Xiao Yu saw it, he sneered: "Sister Fei, isn't that your Cuiping?" Qi Fei's face was pale, and he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Zi Yan beside Madame came, and I saw her ask the gardener, and then ask Cui Ping, and then came to the carriage on Xiaoyu's side.
"Miss Fei, the slave Ziyan came to inquire about the matter on the order of Madame, and asked Miss Fei to tell me truthfully!" Zi Yan said without humility or arrogance.
Qi Fei didn't dare to stick his head out of the window, so he only shrank into the innermost part of the carriage and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask me!" ”
Zi Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "The florist came to tell me that the peony flower that the mansion was going to offer to the queen was secretly broken by a little girl, and now he has identified it as Cui Ping next to Miss Fei, I don't know if Miss Fei knows about it?" ”
Qi Fei shook his head desperately and said continuously: "I don't know! Don't ask me! ”
Xiao Yu hated Qi Fei's ignorant character and had to pretend to be forced, and chuckled: "Sister Fei, why don't you know? Isn't that the powder you wear on your head? ”
After speaking, she gently pulled out the peony on Qi Fei's head, handed out the car window to Zi Yan and said, "Sister Zi Yan, you let the gardener take a look, but this flower?" ”
Zi Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Miss!" With that, she turned to the gardener.
When the gardener saw this flower, he immediately beat his chest and said, "Oh, this is the flower!" The poor little one has been carefully cultivated for half a year, and he doesn't even leave this flower for a moment to eat and sleep, just so that it can bloom on time during the queen's birthday! Seeing that it was about to open today, the small one took it out to receive some dew and nourish the aura, but when she turned around, she was broken by this little girl who killed a thousand knives. The small ones inquired in many ways and chased here! ”
He was babbling and crying bitterly, which showed that he was really a nymphomaniac.
Zi Yan pondered for a moment, then came to the carriage and saluted: "Miss Fei, now that the florist has obtained all the stolen goods, I am afraid that Miss Fei and the slave maid will have to go to Canglang Residence for a trip!" ”
Qi Fei said in a panic: "It's all Cui Ping's own opinion, what's the matter with me, if you want to punish her, punish her, I don't have an opinion on how you punish her." I...... I ......"
As she spoke, she looked at Qi Pan in panic and said, "Sister Pan'er, you are ...... Can you help me with something...... What am I...... I don't know...... Isn't it? ”
Cui Ping over there cried: "Miss...... Miss...... Help me! Don't leave me alone......! You made me go...... In the garden...... Folded! Hearing Cui Ping's cry, Qi Fei became more and more panicked, and his body even trembled.
She exclaimed, "I don't know! I'm not going! It's none of my business! Her voice was sharp, her expression was distorted, and she still had a bit of a virtuous lady.
At this time, the second prince, who had been watching coldly, said impatiently: "Who is that!" Right...... It's you! Hurry up and get off the prince, don't delay our trip! It's a good flower festival, what's going on! The whip was referring to Qi Fei.
