Chapter 154: It's Cold at High Places
Back at Yuyuan, the fox had already burrowed into the study.
"Where did you go? I walked around the house and didn't find you....."
Si Yanyin stood at the door and looked at him complainingly.
"Go to the second brother's, close the door."
Si Yanyin walked into the study and closed the door.
"What did Zhan Xiuxian's wolf say to you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I want to show off at the feast."
"Behave? What does he have to show for him? Let's dance the sword and swallow the gun? ”
"Yin'er, second brother, why did he offend you?"
"I just don't look down on the vicious person, he's not a person compared to that Zhan Taixian."
"Yes, the two of them are a good match."
The fox watched her fight for him, and there was a hint of warmth in his heart.
"Anyway, none of those two people are sincere to you, the second son is insidious and the great prince is cunning,
And you have to deal with them, looking at their hypocritical faces all day long. ”
Si Yanyin walked up to the fox: "Didn't the prince of the world feel tired?" ”
"Who is not tired of achieving great things? The scoundrels in the market don't feel tired, I can't learn from them. ”
The fox stood up and walked over to the bookshelf.
"By the way, I just went to the laundry....."
Si Yanyin asked tentatively.
"Oh."
Doesn't seem to be responding?
"Mama Zeng doesn't seem to be in good health lately."
"Just go and take a look, I remember if she's also from Kunjiang?"
The fox didn't look back, still rummaging through the book.
"How do you know she's from Kunjiang?"
"Everyone in this palace knows it, is it still a secret?"
The fox picked up a volume and turned back to his desk.
"Shizi, how much do you know about Mama Zeng?"
Si Yanyin still didn't give up asking.
"Mama Zeng? All I know is that she seems to have grown up watching her father, who was very forgiving to her.
It is said that this old woman has a strange temper, and even the housekeeper has to give her three points. ”
"Gone?"
"Otherwise, what else will ......?"
Only then did the fox realize that she seemed to have something to say.
"Mama Zeng is not your person?"
"My people? How could I find an old woman to do eyeliner. ”
The fox shook his head.
"That ....."
"How?"
"Then why does Mama Zeng always talk to you, and what do you say....."
"Say what?"
"Say, you're the only one who really treats me."
"Did she really say that?"
"yes."
Si Yanyin nodded: "I thought she knew something." ”
"What else did she say to you?"
"Uh-huh....."
I can't tell Mama Zeng that the fox will help Kun Jiang turn over,
Otherwise, with the suspicion of a fox, he would have thought that my intimacy with him had another purpose.
"She also said that she told me to beware of the eldest prince and the second son, saying that they are tigers, leopards, and wolves.
Say that you are the only good person in this palace......"
"This Mama Zeng is a master with vision, I will definitely meet him when I have time."
When the fox heard this, he was immediately pleased.
"At first, I thought that Mama Zeng was bought by you, and she was always saying good things for you.
But when it's gone today, it's ....."
"What is it?"
"I don't think so, because she doesn't seem to know about the affairs of the Academy, and she doesn't know what you and I are like now."
"Now? What is it? ”
The fox laughed like a fox.
"It's just that I see that you are slightly more pleasing to the eye....."
Si Yanyin pursed her lips, so as not to make you proud.
"Oh, it was just a little pleasing to the eye....."
The fox pursed his lips and picked up his book and stopped looking at her.
When Si Yanyin saw that he actually ignored her first, she had the idea of trying to trick him.
"Eh, Shizi, the wife of the prime minister of Xi Yunguo has entered the mansion today, have you seen it?"
"No ......"
"I saw Xi Yan's maid, she looks really Peugeot and cute."
"Oh......"
"Even the maid looks like a hibiscus out of the water, isn't that lady even more beautiful?"
"No matter how beautiful and fragrant the country is, what should I do?"
The fox glanced up at her.
"In case that lady has a son and a half daughter, and is the same age as the son."
"What do you want?" The fox's gaze fell back to the book.
"If the princess wants to give the prince a kiss, the prince is still happy?"
"With the eldest brother and the second brother here, it won't be my turn."
"Why can't it be the turn of the son, have you forgotten about the last time Miss Taifu?"
"I finally got rid of Miss Mu, and you are in a hurry to find me a home?"
The fox sighed, always putting the book aside.
What the hell is this little girl going to say? He did a scene a few days ago, which made the Mu family quit the marriage with all kinds of guilt.
The princess also thought that he had lost face because of this, and must have been very depressed, and did not dare to come to the Yuyuan to disturb him again, so he stole a few days of peace.
"I'm just worried, my family is lame with a pair of legs, and the peach blossoms are still flying everywhere, if I am looked at by a young lady at the feast......"
"If I don't go, I don't plan to go to the banquet."
"Why?"
"In order to make the eldest brother and the second brother pinch harder."
"Then I'm not going to go either......"
"you, haven't you always liked to join in the fun? And I'm not here,
Yuyuan always has to send a master. ”
"Shizi, have you discussed with the second son about not going?"
"Well, I already told him today that he wouldn't go to the banquet, and I don't want to add to the hearts of my mother and eldest brother.
Especially the eldest brother, he is becoming more and more hostile to me now, and the second brother naturally told me not to worry, as long as he has his support. ”
"That Shiziyi still refutes the face of the second son?"
"Naturally, I avoided suspicion this time, which would not only provoke the mother's hatred for the second brother, but also make the second brother feel that I was a cowardly chess piece that could not be fought for.
There was less fear of me. ”
"This palace is not a home for the prince, is it? I think it's more like a battlefield. ”
"Yin'er, you are a princess, and you don't live in the palace, so naturally you don't understand,
As long as you are born in the royal family, your life, your heart, and everything you have, you will not be able to control it.
Since you were born noble, you will taste the sufferings that ordinary people cannot taste, and since you have power,
It is inevitable to give up freedom, attachment, and even family affection. ”
"Is this kind of life really good?" Si Yanyin walked behind the fox and kneaded his shoulders for him:
"I don't understand, and I can't understand it, the so-called high places are not cold, but I am most afraid of the cold."
"Even if you stand on a high place, I will shelter you from the wind and rain, and you don't have to be afraid of the cold."
The fox smiled and shook her hand.
"But I don't want you to carry so much, I just want your life to be safe and joyful."
"Yin'er, it's not that I'm ambitious, it's just that fate won't let me go......"
The fox remembered the past, and his eyes suddenly dimmed, and this secret had been with him since he was twelve years old.
He didn't dare to tell anyone, not even to reminisce, as soon as he thought of this secret, his heart trembled like crazy.
Even if it was Si Yanyin, he didn't want her to know about it too early, and she was already very concerned about her situation.
If he knew more, he was afraid that no one would be stable in sleep, and he didn't need her to share much for himself, he just wanted her to have no worries for her life.
Early the next morning, Si Yanyin got up early to make breakfast for Zhan Xiaokong, and ordered her subordinates to take them to the front yard to help.
It's just that as soon as she entered the front yard, she was called by the princess to sit on the side, and she was not allowed to do any work.
"Yin'er, I know you want to help, but this is what people do, you don't have to do it."
"Yes......"
Si Yanyin smiled awkwardly.
If you ask me to sit with you like this, it is better to do some rough work in the yard.
"Why hasn't the empty man come yet? Isn't it that you haven't gotten up yet? ”
The princess looked into the courtyard, Zhan Xiuxian had arrived, but there was still no shadow of Zhan Taixian and Zhan Xiaokong.
"Shizi, he woke up a little unwell, I'm afraid he will come back a little later."
"Sick again?" The princess asked.
"Yes, it's been cold recently, and the son of the world is ..... weak."
"Alas!" The princess sighed after hearing this: "Yin'er will definitely take care of the empty space for me." ”
"Yes, Princess."
"You treat your son like a wild monkey picked up in the mountains, and you are embarrassed to ask someone else to take care of you?"
"Let's prevaricate her with words first, anyway, it will be lively for a while, and she doesn't care if the fox is here or not."
"The child has seen the mother."
After a while, Zhan Taixian was finally late, and when he came to greet the princess, his eyes glanced at Si Yanyin who was sitting on the side from time to time.
"Yin'er has seen the great prince ......"
No matter how the fox and the princess were exalting her, she still couldn't forget the etiquette of being a subordinate.
"Why hasn't the third brother come yet? Could it be that you are still sleeping? ”
"The third son is on the way here, and the eldest son doesn't have to remember ....."
Si Yanyin replied expressionlessly.
"Oh, that's fine, I'm afraid that the third brother won't come, and Liuyin'er will be too lonely here......"
Why didn't Xianhe follow him? Si Yanyin looked at the door, but the concubine went back like a dog.
always locked Xianhe in Zhenglong Courtyard, but he didn't have the freedom when he was a maid.
The princess glared at the eldest prince, but the words of reproach still could not be spoken.
"Yin'er, you go to the flower pond to help me take a look, have the people arranged it properly?"
"Yes....."
As soon as Si Yanyin heard this, she almost bounced up from her chair, and couldn't wait to rush out of the banquet hall.
Just now, you were talking to you with me, but now for the sake of your prodigal son, you have sent me out in the blink of an eye.
Si Yanyin stood by the flower pond, watching the people hurriedly arrange, it was already autumn, but she didn't know that the paper flowers she got from were all over the pond.
From a distance, it looks slim, but when you look closer, you can see the clues.
"That's it, fake flowers are fake flowers after all, what can be compared to real flowers and water clothes?"
Si Yanyin raised her eyes and saw that a brightly dressed woman was standing opposite her, looking at a pool of lotus flowers and laughing.
Seeing that her eyebrows and eyes were raised, her lips were thin and her teeth were white, and her face was not easy to provoke, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"Miss, why are you here? My lord is looking for you everywhere. ”
"Looking for me? What do you want me to do? Can I lose such a big living person?
Besides, this palace is not much bigger than the Taifu Mansion, and I am familiar with it. ”
"Taifu Mansion?"
By the way, when Mu Wanning entered the mansion a few days ago, she followed the fox to take a look.
At that time, Mu Wanning came with her sister Mu Xuemian, and the woman in front of her was Mu Xuemian, the youngest daughter of Taifu who had a relationship with her.
