Hearing the news of Wang Gui's hanging, the first person Chu Xi thought of was Aunt Yanxue.

"Green Sprouts and Green Sandalwood will go to Aunt Yanxue's yard with me, and Xiao Fu'er will go to inquire again, who will be the first person to find out who Wang Gui hanged." Chu Xi walked out as she spoke, although Xiao Fu'er didn't know what this matter had to do with Chu Xi, she still obediently went out to investigate.

When she arrived at Aunt Yanxue's yard, Chu Xi first asked her personal grandmother to guard the yard, no matter what method she thought, no matter who came, she would not see her, especially Chu Bingsong and Qin Xue.

Yanxue was already crying and collapsed on the bed, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and her eyes moved when she saw Chu Xi coming.

"Green sandalwood, you go to the door to guard, if someone eavesdrops, come and report it immediately."

Lu Tan went out in response, and Lu Ya hurriedly asked the waiting Yahuan to get hot water, wiped Aunt Yanxue's face, poured hot tea for her, and sent all the Yahuan in the room out.

After a while, she seemed to have finally reacted, and looked at Chu Xi sadly: "I was a childhood sweetheart with him, and I had already caused him to come to the mansion for so many years, and now he lost his life." ”

"Wang Gui died because of you?" Chu Xi was a little surprised.

Yan Xue didn't know what to do: "Isn't it?" Didn't the old man find out about my affair with him, so he forced him?"

Chu Ji looked at her aunt who didn't understand the situation at all, shook her head slightly, and sat down on the warm couch beside her: "I think about it, there are several possibilities for Wang Gui's death, first, he became a scapegoat. Chu Ji told Chu Qitai about getting drunk and crazy early this morning, and said: "I asked people to inquire, the wine was taken from Wang Gui, it is very likely that someone wanted to harm Chu Qitai and me, and then let Wang Gui carry the black cauldron." ”

After Chu Ji finished speaking, seeing that she didn't speak, she said: "Another possibility is that you are involved, someone knows the relationship between you and Wang Gui, and wants to use Chu Qitai to harm me, and then Wang Gui's death will involve you, killing two birds with one stone." ”

"How can Wang Gui be involved when he dies?" Aunt Yanxue was unwilling.

"What do you think would happen if it wasn't me, but my father or mother?"

Aunt Yanxue sighed in her heart, she would definitely not hide it anymore, and then she could only get a dead word.

"You have to think about it, if you die, who else can avenge the king's revenge?" Chu Xi said again.

Yanxue was sad and indignant in her heart, and she cried again.

Chu Xi looked at her like this, and breathed a sigh of relief, she had figured it out, it was good to figure it out, and if she figured it out, she could become her biggest help in this mansion. However, what she is most worried about is not that Qin Xue directed and acted in this play and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, what she was most afraid of was that Qin Xue was also designed. If Qin Xue was asked to kill Aunt Yanxue, Chu Bingsong would definitely not spare it, it would be three birds with one stone.

Not long after, Lu Tan came back and forth, saying that someone was eavesdropping outside the courtyard, and she secretly followed for a while, and found that the person actually went to Qin Xue's Ruyi Garden.

"It was Qin Xue who harmed Wang Gui, right!" Yanxue hoarsely voiced and wrung handkerchiefs with her hands.

Lu Tan frowned and looked at Chu Xi, Chu Xi motioned for her to continue to go out and star: "It won't be long before Qin Xue will come over, I can't stay for a long time, but my aunt should remember that my father is more partial to you now, and my grandmother also revealed today, if Chu Qitai is really incompetent, don't want this grandson." ”

Chu Xi's words stopped at the point, Yan Xue looked at her in shock, instantly understood, got up and saluted Chu Xi respectfully: "Thank you for the order." ”

Chu Ji smiled faintly. And he took the men and departed.

Now that Qin Xue is here, there is still a black hand hidden in this mansion, a black hand that can control everyone except herself and the old lady, she has to find out as soon as possible.

Back at the Zhujin Pavilion, Xiao Fu'er had been waiting for a long time, and was about to speak when he was stopped by Chu Xi.

Chunzhi came out of the room and hurriedly handed her the hand warmer: "Where has the eldest lady gone, it's freezing outside, it's chaotic after the eldest prince comes back these days, you have to be careful when you go out." ”

Chu Xi smiled and nodded: "Is the old lady better?" ”

Chunzhi looked at Chu Xi with her mouth slightly open, and then lowered her head again, the young lady seemed to be asking the girl in Ronghua Academy: "The slave maid listened to the girl in Ronghua Academy, she was just angry, just rest." ”

"That's good." Chu Xi's expression was faint, and after entering the room, she leaned on the couch to read a book, Xiao Fu'er kept raising her eyes to look at Chu Xi, and every time the words came to her mouth, she swallowed again.

Lu Ya sat on the side with a small pestle and embroidered a handkerchief, Lu Tan was bored and couldn't sit still, Chu Xi simply let her go around the yard, but she was not allowed to go out.

Chunzhi looked at the situation of a few people in the house, and understood that Chu Xi was guarding herself, and lowered her eyebrows: "Girl, the slave maid will go and see if the clothes she made for you are ready." ”

"Hmm." Chu Xi responded lightly, and only after she left did Xiao Fu'er step forward and crackle and speak, and after speaking, she exhaled a long breath: "It's really suffocating me." ”

Lu Ya smiled, and Chu Ji said, "You said that you went to follow Chu Qitai to Wang Gui's courtyard with a face-to-face girl?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Fu'er nodded: "I went to ask, and it happened that a grandmother said that she happened to see Wang Gui to see a doctor, so she saw it, but she only said that the girl seemed to know Wang Gui, and she had never seen it." ”

When Chu Xi heard this, she began to think about the aunts in the Prime Minister's Mansion who didn't come forward much, but in her previous life, except for Chu Zhenzhen and a few people, the others were almost still unknown, who was this black hand?

Chu Xi couldn't think of it for a long time, and then she heard someone say that something happened to Aunt Yanxue's Yanyu Courtyard.

When Chu Bingsong hurried to the Yanyu Courtyard, he was so angry that he almost didn't raise his hand to fan Qin Xue.

"I'll let you take care of the backyard. Not the woman who asked you to dispose of me! Chu Bingsong looked at Yan Xue, who was only wearing thin clothes and blood at the corners of his mouth, his face was pale, and he personally bent down to help him up.

Qin Xue was also a little annoyed when she was reprimanded: "The master has repeatedly scolded me for a cheap maid, does the master want to spoil the concubine and kill his wife." ”

Now that Qin Xue has almost lost the support of the Guogong Mansion, Chu Qitai's respect in the past is much less, and now between the young and beautiful Yanxue and the old and decrepit Qin Xue, he is naturally more inclined to the former: "Are you threatening me?" ”

"How dare you be a concubine." Qin Xue has been strong all her life, and now she has to pretend to soften her tone: "It's just that master, you treat me like this, what do you think about Zhen Zhen and Tai'er in their hearts, and how do others think of their sisters-in-law when they spread it." ”

Yanxue saw her mention the child, and lowered her head and touched her stomach: "I used to have a child"

"That's a!" Qin Xue blurted out, Chu Bingsong was so angry that his face turned pale: "I respect you for being dignified and virtuous, but I didn't expect to say some cheap words, where have you read your poems and books, and the child in Yanxue's belly is also my child!" ”

Qin Xue's feet were soft. took a step back unsteadily: "Master, that's not what the concubine meant"

"Madame can't be blamed." Yanxue's tone was even more pathetic: "It's just that Yanxue has no blessings, and she can't keep the master's children for so many years." ”

As soon as she said this, she reminded Chu Bingsong that in addition to the previous children for so many years, the aunt in the mansion had never given birth to a child, and there were many pregnancies, but all of them had accidental miscarriages, he used to think that it was not his own reason, but the concubine he raised outside gave birth to a son. I hadn't thought about Qin Xue before, but now I felt that she was really doing it.

Thinking of this, Chu Qitai looked at her with a more vicious gaze: "You are your mother-in-law, in charge of the family, what you should do is to take care of the backyard for me, not murder"

"When the master said such a thing, did he want the concubine to die!" Qin Xue's eyes were red.

Chu Bingsong naturally didn't want her to die, Dingguo Mansion already had a dislike for him, and the hat of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife was buttoned down, and those who had a heart could directly take off his official hat.

Yanxue sobbed quietly, and seemed to be very forbearing: "Master, don't blame Madame, it's all Yanxue is not good, if Yanxue has a son under her knees, she won't block Madame all day long." ”

Hearing this, Chu Bingsong's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and said, "Brother Hong'er born in the outer room is also seven years old, I will send someone to the mansion tomorrow and raise it in your name." ”

When Qin Xue heard this, she trembled with anger, and squeezed her hand tightly: "The concubine will definitely take care of her."

"You don't need to take care of it, Brother Hong'er's affairs should be all in charge of Yanxue, you are not allowed to interfere!" After Chu Bingsong finished explaining, he helped Yanxue back to the room, Qin Xue wanted to be angry but didn't dare to do so, so she was so angry that she was depressed that night, and invited a doctor overnight.

When Jiang's mother told the old lady what happened, the old lady's expression was faint: "She should also suffer a little, Bingsong's backyard has been tossed by her for so many years, and she really thinks that no one knows the pickled things she did." After that, he looked at Chu Dai'er who was sitting below, and took off a red gold bracelet in his hand and gave it to her: "Four girls, take it and play with it." ”

"Thank you, grandmother." Chu Dai'er stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

Old Madam Chu smiled: "Come and talk to me when you know it's okay." ”

"It's the granddaughter who is not filial, and I always felt that my status was humble before, and I didn't dare to disturb my grandmother." Chu Dai'er's head lowered more and more.

Looking at her slender body, the old lady felt a little pity: "You are really similar to your big sister, they are both thin and small, but her sharpness is more than yours." After saying that, he beckoned her to come closer.

Chu Dai'er stepped forward, sat down next to her, and said softly: "Big sister has suffered hardships, if she is not sharp enough, she doesn't know how much bullying she will have to eat." ”

"You know in your heart, Ming'er follows your eldest sister around, gets to know more young ladies, and there will be a few more people to talk to in the boudoir in the future." The old lady took her hand and smiled.

Chu Dai'er wanted to say something, but swallowed it again after a while, and only responded.

The old lady left her for dinner before leaving, and the old lady called Jiang's mother to help her to the room, and only then did she sigh when she lay on the bed: "The fourth girl said that she was fostered in the name of her mother-in-law, how can she still be a concubine?" ”

Mother Jiang stood on the side: "You still don't understand, the eldest lady only feels sorry for her own pair of sons and daughters, where is she willing to give more thoughts to others, even the eldest lady's chasing the pavilion" Mother Jiang stopped halfway through speaking: "The fourth lady has no mother to rely on since she was a child, and she has no relatives to support, and the only girl who has accompanied her since she was a child The orange leaf also fell into the water a while ago, she has a soft temperament and refuses to say more than half a word, so the eldest lady naturally doesn't care." ”

"Now it seems that the second girl has put a maid ring and is waiting by her side." The old lady said faintly: "I see that I am too angry with the big girl in the spring grass, and I took it back, but it is not good or bad, let's look at tomorrow." ”

Mother Jiang smiled and bowed: "It's still the old lady who is thoughtful." ”

"You can say something good and obedient, if I am thoughtful, I will not always ignore the affairs of the house and let Qin Xue spoil it." After that, he paused: "You go to Ruyi Garden to spread a word." said that it was a concubine, so she should be treated equally, let her change the courtyard for the four girls, and then complete all the corresponding objects. ”

Jiang's mother was a little worried: "In this way, the eldest lady is afraid that she can't stand it."

"She should have known the consequences." The old lady didn't want to say more, but closed her eyes.

Mother Jiang didn't dare to let Yahuan pass the word, so she went to Ruyi Garden in person, and Qin Xue was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Chu Xi heard Xiao Fu'er's colorful description of the scene, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'm tired today, let's go down and rest." ”

Chunzhi stood aside, wanting to say something, but several openings were cut off by green sandalwood, and finally had to retreat helplessly.

Chu Xi was lying on the bed, thinking of the middle of the night, but she couldn't figure out why Chu Dai'er was so anxious, she endured it for more than ten years and didn't see any movement, how could she be on the cusp of proving her identity as a concubine.

I can't figure it out. Chu Xi didn't want to think about it, the left and right horses would be exposed sooner or later.

Early the next morning, Chunzhi came over to clean up for Chu Ji, put on the light purple wide-sleeved cross-collar dress specially sent by the old lady, combed her delicate hair bun, and then embellished it with a hairpin.

Chunzhi was stunned, Chu Ji had already taken off the hairpin on his head, leaving only a step with purple crystals: "It's good to be lighter." Chu Xi lowered her eyes to hide the killing intent that almost erupted, and said in a low voice, just now she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, as if she had seen Chu Guifei in her previous life, she didn't want to and didn't want to go back to her previous life!

Chunzhi came back to his senses and took out the purple jade jade pendant in the makeup box: "Is it good for a girl to match this?" "The green buds under this jade pendant are washed with crescent-white silk and the tassels are matched.

Chu Xi took it, but remembered someone's words in his mind, so he threw it back into the box like a hot potato, picked up an ordinary piece of white jade and hung it.

Early in the morning, Bai Xue was waiting outside in person: "Miss, the old lady is already waiting in the front yard." ”

"Grandmother so early." Chu Xi smiled. I talked to Bai Xue without a match until I got to the front yard.

Chu Dai'er had already arrived, wearing a long blue dress, with boots of the same color on her feet, standing there like a slim lotus, with her eyes full of tenderness, it was really pitiful.

"Big sister." Chu Dai'er stepped forward and saluted.

Chu Xi reacted as usual, as if she didn't know anything else.

The old lady looked at the maid ring behind Chu Xi, one was the green shoots that often followed, and the other was the spring branches in her yard.

Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Qitai were late, Chu Qitai didn't dare to look at the old lady because of yesterday's incident, Chu Zhenzhen also had red eyes, looked at Chu Dai'er, gritted her teeth and didn't speak, Chu Xiuxiu almost fell when she ran over in a panic, and the old lady sighed more and more.

When she got into the carriage, Chu Zhenzhen said directly: "I want to ride in a carriage with my fourth sister." ”

The old lady glanced at her and nodded in response. Chu Xiuxiu sat with Chu Xi, Chu Qitai wanted to follow Chu Zhenzhen to take the carriage together, but was directly called by the old lady.

On the carriage, Chu Xiuxiu was restless, making small movements, Chu Xiu only closed her eyes at ease, she really didn't want to say much about this brainless third sister.

The carriage passed through the lively market, Chu Xi listened to the slow fireworks, raised her hand and lifted the curtain slightly, but unexpectedly met a pair of cold eyes, which made her frown tightly like a sharp blade and hurriedly lowered the curtain, how could she meet the eighth prince so coincidentally.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xiuxiu looked at her in surprise.

"It's fine." Chu Xiuxiu coped with the past lightly, but Chu Xiuxiu thought there was a ghost, so she hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the curtain, but she didn't see anything.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the main gate of Yan's Mansion, and the ladies had already arrived, and Mrs. Chu directly led Chu Zhenzhen and Chu Xiuxiu to see Mrs. Yan together, and Chu Xi and Chu Daier went to the Yinhua Courtyard where the ladies were chanting poems and enjoying flowers.

The most feared thing in this capital is the winter in March, and all the houses have to hold poetry and flower parties, saying that everyone gathers, but in fact, the wives of each family look at the people who agree with each other for their sons and daughters, if they take the color at such a party, the threshold of the family is afraid to be broken.

The backyard of Yan's Mansion is very large, across a lake is the Truffle Pavilion, where the sons of each family compare their poems with literature, the two look at each other across the lake, although the two sides can't see their faces clearly, but the slender posture can be glimpsed a little, if the voice is louder, the voice can be heard clearly, Chu Xi looked at the ladies of the various families talking in groups of three or five, thought about it, and let the maid ring of the Yan Mansion retreat: "There seems to be a pavilion in front, my sister wants to sit down?" ”

Chu Dai'er raised her eyes to look at her: "There doesn't seem to be anyone there." Grandmother confessed"

Chu Xi understood what she meant: "Wait until it is above, take pen and ink and write poems and send it down, if the fourth sister takes the color head, let's come down again." ”

Chu Dai'er bowed slightly, and the two of them looked for the pavilion on the road.

Tea was served in the pavilion, and the ground was so high that they could see the people below, but it was not easy for them to be seen by the people below.

"The eldest sister seems to be reluctant to enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion?" Chu Dai'er finally spoke.

Chu Ji smiled: "It's my grandfather's family that has no support, and I can't enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion." ”

When the person behind the rockery heard this, his eyes moved slightly, was she willing to enter her own house?

Chu Dai'er chuckled: "The eldest sister is smart and knowledgeable, and she is good-looking, why can't she enter the Eighth Prince's Mansion?" And you and the Yang family are also blood relatives, I am the mother's family has no support, and now although my grandmother cherishes me and gives me the identity of my daughter, I dare not hope for the royal family. That day, a gentlemanly son dressed in white kept appearing in her mind, and there was only his father and mother in his family. There is also a tradition of marrying only one wife, and it is still the Hou Mansion, which is the most ideal family, and others are so good

Seeing that Chu Dai'er was out of her mind, Chu Xi only thought that she was interested in the eighth prince. The people behind the rockery were about to come out, when they suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, and it was too late for Chu Xi to hide.

"Ah, where did this young lady come from, how did she look so good." The girl in a light blue dress almost jumped over, grabbed Chu Xi's hand and didn't let go.

Chu Xi looked at her and recalled that she was Yun Songyi, the concubine of Yun Shangshu Mansion who moved back to Yan's Mansion with Heli's mother, in her previous life, she was married by Lord Yan to the eldest prince as a side concubine to show her loyalty, and after Lord Yan was labeled as a rebel, she was also driven out of the mansion by the eldest prince, and I heard that she hanged herself in the ruined temple.

"Sister, what's your name, why haven't I seen you before?" Yun Songyue said crisply.

Chu Xiwaner: "Chu family Chu Xi." This is my fourth sister Chu Dai'er. ”

Yun Songyi glanced at Chu Dai'er, and her round eyes bent: "It's actually a person like a fairy, I really don't know how Lord Chu gave birth to such a good-looking daughter." After that, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly raised his head and greeted: "Cousin, don't greet the two young ladies yet." ”

Seeing her frowning, Chu Xi turned his head to look at the boy and made eye contact with the son, and his face suddenly turned red.

"I've seen the two young ladies, but I don't know if the two young ladies are here, if there is anything abrupt, don't blame it."

"This is my cousin Yan Jifu, eighteen years old, there is only one concubine in the family, and he only knows how to study all day long, and he is willing to come out only when I drag him out." Yun Songyi smiled, a small round face full of wit.

Seeing his elegant and steady appearance, Chu Xi remembered the fake scholar Lin Qingyu before, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, got up and saluted.

Several people sat down around, Yun Songyi was a self-acquaintance, and he didn't stop talking, Yan Jifu kept his eyes on the tea cup, but the rest of the eyes kept on Chu Xi, careful for fear of being discovered.

He didn't know that there was such a person in the world, dressed in purple clothes, sitting there, smiling and smiling, as if people from outside the world, but with a sense of dignity, such a temperament is not just as the book said, 'hands are like soft wattles, skin is like clotted fat, collar is like a grub, teeth are like rhinoceros, mantis head and moth eyebrows, clever smile. Beautiful eyes'.

Yan Jifu's scorching gaze, how could Chu Ji not notice it, and said that the poetry meeting was about to start, so he said goodbye and left with Chu Dai'er, even though Yan Jifu was the Yan family, but in the end, it was not easy to go to the crowd of female dependents, so he went to the Truffle Pavilion.

Yan Jifu is not a good person, and the complexity of Yan Mansion is not much worse than that of today's Chu Mansion.

"Now that I'm thirteen, I don't know which family my mother will find for me." Yun Songyi followed Chu Xi's side.

Chu Dai'er chuckled: "Why is Sister Yi still worried about this, the Yan Mansion is a big family, and what you are looking for must be a good family." ”

"I'm afraid of good people." Yun Songyi pouted: "That's it, let's not talk about it, let's go to the front to see the excitement." ”

Chu Xi only walked outside the crowd and stopped, because Yun Songyi was there, a young lady came to talk to her, two of them had a soft temperament, and they got along with Chu Dai'er, so they found a place to chat, and Chu Xi was clean.

"Sister Ji'er. What kind of person do you want to marry? How is my cousin? Yun Songyi asked in a low voice.

Chu Xi was neither shy nor evasive: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate." "Since the Yan Mansion wants to support the eldest prince, the wife of the grandson Yan Jifu will definitely be able to help, but the Chu Mansion is bent on following the King of Freedom who has not yet emerged, even if the Yan Mansion goes to propose, the Chu Mansion will shirk it.

Yun Songyi was stunned, but she liked Chu Xi's cheerfulness very much, and she couldn't read two lines of poetry, so she pulled her to find a place to talk.

The Eighth Prince sat in the truffle pavilion, looked at Lin Qingyu, who was still dressed in white, and said coldly: "You don't like this kind of poetry meeting the most, why did you come here?" ”

Lin Qingyu's narrow eyes narrowed, and he took a sip of the good tea that Lin Fu specially asked to bring: "My mother said that I am almost old, let me come out to find a little lady to bring back." ”

Everyone else laughed: "Mrs. Hou is relieved, and she is not afraid that you will pick a girl ring to go back." ”

"What about Yahuan, if you enter my Anping Marquis Mansion, you will be my princess." Lin Qingyu didn't care.

The eighth prince, Zhao Xuanyi, glanced at him, then turned his eyes to look at the other side of the lake, looking for the purple figure: "Marquis Anping is still out there?" "The Marquis of Anping has never interfered in the affairs of the imperial court. Not to mention marrying an official family, Lin Qingyu's appearance this time is indeed suspicious.

Lin Qingyu smiled: "What is the Eighth Prince doing this time, I remember that you are the busiest on weekdays, and the noble concubine Niangniang wanted you to accompany you to the temple a while ago, and you only stayed for a few days." ”

Listening to Lin Qingyu's words, everyone held their breath, the eighth prince has always been indifferent and not close to people, even the princes did not dare to make such jokes with him

Zhao Xuanyi glanced at him, he has been close to Lin Qingyu since he was a child, but he is always chic and comfortable, and he refuses to go to the court to receive errands, but he has to be confined to the palace, so in the eyes of outsiders, he and Lin Qingyu cannot have a good relationship.

For Zhao Xuanyi's connivance, everyone was even more surprised, but Lin Qingyu was not the master of an inch, he knew the principle that no one in the royal family could provoke, so he stood up and saluted: "The minister goes down and walks." ”

Zhao Xuanyi only looked for that figure. Feel free to nod your head.

Lord Yan was in the study, and after talking to the King of Joy and the Great Prince, he led them to the Truffle Pavilion.

The eldest prince is slightly chubby, always smiling, and looks honest, but in fact he is a smiling tiger, and he is more ruthless than anyone else.

"Why is the eighth child here?" When the eldest prince entered the truffle pavilion, he said directly: "Didn't you fall in love with the little lady of which family, and came here specifically for the little lady?" You've never liked to come to this crowded place. ”

Zhao Xuanyi got up and saluted King Xiaoyao and the eldest prince, and did not speak with a cold face.

The eldest prince felt bored, so he turned his head to look at King Xiaoyao: "I don't know what the concubine thinks, the eighth prince is not young, and there is no concubine at home, so the imperial uncle has to talk to his father when he goes back." ”

King Xiaoyao was dressed in a stone blue regular suit, his face was handsome and a little hard, and his gestures were all royal dignity.

Glancing at the indifferent Eighth Prince, King Xiaoyao smiled: "When the eighth child marries the concubine, the concubine will consider it, but we don't need to worry." ”

The eldest prince smiled: "Then the imperial uncle is worried about himself, I heard that the concubines of Prime Minister Chu's family are becoming more and more lovely, when will the imperial uncle marry home?" ”

Zhao Xunyan, the king of Xiaoyao, is two years younger than the eldest prince, and he is the youngest son of the first emperor, but his aura is a hundred times stronger than that of the eldest prince.

Zhao Xunyan smiled faintly, his narrow eyes looked into the distance lightly, but what appeared in his mind was the stubborn figure of that day, and she should have come today.

Zhao Xuanyi had a cold face but pricked up his ears, does Uncle Huang have thoughts about that girl?

"The two daughters of the Chu family are good."

Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, Zhao Xuanyi said.

King Xiaoyao looked at him with a little surprise in his eyes, the eighth child has never been close to women, how can he talk about the two daughters of the Chu family now?

After thinking about it for a while, he figured it out: "The two daughters of the Chu family are exactly the same age, the eldest daughter is fierce and rude, and the second daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. ”

Hearing his words, the corners of Zhao Xuanyi's mouth hooked up a smile, and he didn't say more, but King Xiaoyao's eyes deepened.

Chu Xi's end, Yun Songyi vomited bitterness as if she had found a confidant, Chu Xi had to listen even if she had a headache, after all, Chunzhi was still staring here, and when she turned around, the old lady asked why she didn't go to the Truffle Pavilion to find the Eighth Prince, and she could also be said to be entangled by Yun Songyi. It didn't take long for the poetry club to come up with a colorful head, the first was Chu Zhenzhen, the second lady of the Chu family, and the second was the young lady of the county king's mansion, and Chu Daier ranked third.

Yun Songyi pulled Chu Ji to see the excitement, trotted all the way, and when he came out from behind the rockery, Yun Songyi didn't stop his foot, and directly hit a sturdy chest: "Which one doesn't have long eyes" Yun Songyi didn't finish complaining, he was stunned as soon as he looked up, and his face was crimson: "His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince"

Chu Xi took a step back and curtsied his knees, not looking at him. When Zhao Xuanyi saw this, the more smiles in her eyes, isn't she cold-blooded, how can she be so obedient now.

Seeing that the Eighth Prince was losing his mind when he looked at his young lady, Lu Ya hurriedly coughed, and several people came back to their senses, Yun Songyi looked at him with a smile on his face: "Eighth Prince, what are you doing here." ”

"Feel free to walk around."

Can you walk around and walk here from across the lake? Chu Xi's head lowered: "The courtiers retired first." After that, he turned his head and left, regardless of the hot gaze stuck to his body, what did Harukeda want to remind: "Miss"

"Hey, who is this, why is it so fate with me." A clear voice came, Chu Xi frowned, looked at the smiling man in front of him, exhaled, and curtsied.

Lin Qingyu glanced at Zhao Xuanyi who looked at him, and sighed in his heart, wouldn't the Eighth Prince also be interested in this girl. The Eighth Prince has not been close to people since he was a child, let alone women, and if so, it will be a little difficult to do.

"Do you want to go and see the color together?" Chu Xi invited, instead of carrying it here, it is better to leave with him first, and then he will be looking for an opportunity to slip away.

"I'll go with you." Zhao Xuanyi's slightly cold voice came, which actually made Chu Xi feel like he was caught/raped.

When Chu Xuan arrived at Yinhuayuan, there were more hot eyes, after all, a Zhao Xuanyi was in a high-ranking and powerful ascetic department, and a noble son with a skin like an immortal, standing beside her, the daughter of the Chu family who had just returned home, it was indeed eye-catching.

Lin Qingyu glanced at Chu Xi's indifferent expression from the corner of his eyes, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and he walked straight forward: "Second Miss Chu, Fourth Miss Chu, long time no see." ”

Chu Zhenzhen smiled with a smile, she has never refused to come to men's overtures, let alone Lin Qingyu, and Chu Dai'er returned the salute softly, and her lowered eyes were shining: "Lord Shizi." ”

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and after Yun Songyi caught up, she quietly moved into the crowd, even though no one accosted her. She also felt a lot more relieved.

Chu Zhenzhen secretly pushed Chu Dai'er, and her chin gestured in the direction of Chu Xi, Chu Dai'er was full of embarrassment, but she still nodded, walked towards Chu Xi, and only then approached Chu Xi, and she didn't know who pushed her behind her, so she fell directly on Chu Xi.

Chu Dai'er panicked, but it was the Eighth Prince, who rushed up with an arrow and tore Chu Dai'er away, holding Chu Dai'er: "It's okay." ”

The eighth prince has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his strength is naturally great, and he has not restrained much, so he almost threw the petite Chu Dai'er into the lake, everyone was shocked, and Chu Dai'er was naturally frightened and her little face turned pale, but fortunately she was stopped by Lin Qingyu.

Lin Qingyu politely helped her down, and then quickly let go, looking at the Eighth Prince who was holding Chu Xi. His face was slightly solemn.

Chu Xi only felt that the hand on his waist was as hot as red-hot iron, and he hurriedly got up and left, holding back the anger in his heart, and bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you, Eighth Prince." After that, he hurriedly left with Yahuan, Zhao Xuanyi was stupid and wanted to chase after him, but was pulled by Lin Qingyu: "Eighth master, here are all female dependents." ”

Zhao Xuanyi suddenly woke up, glanced at Lin Qingyu coldly, and turned his head to leave.

The ladies sighed for a while, and they all began to talk about the eldest lady of the Chu family, Chu Zhenzhen saw that all the limelight of winning the color was robbed, and her face was slightly blue with anger, but in front of outsiders, she had always concealed her emotions well, and remembered what Chu Xi was about to face for a while

Chu Zhenzhen's chin raised slightly, and she turned her head to look at the stunned Yun Songyi: "You are Songyue's sister-in-law?" ”

Yun Songyi knew Chu Zhenzhen's name and didn't have a good impression of her, so she responded lightly, turned her head and chased after Chu Zhenzhen, so angry that she almost didn't hold back.

Chu Zhenzhen asked Chu Dai'er to take the things she took from Chu Xi's body just now, and turned her head and stuffed it into Ying'er's hand: "Take it to the eldest prince." ”

Ying'er didn't dare to slack off, so she turned her head and hurriedly ran away.

"Fang Cai, thank you for the rescue." Chu Dai'er chased after Lin Qingyu, who had just walked a short distance, and said softly.

Lin Qingyu paused and smiled lightly: "It's okay, I wonder if the white jade in Miss Chusi's hand can be given to me?" ”

Chu Dai'er looked up at him suddenly, her eyes that were always smiling were cold, and her palms were slightly tight: "What white jade?" ”

Lin Qingyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that it has been given to people, it's just that." Then he turned and left.

There was a slight mist in Chu Dai'er's eyes, did he see it just now.

Chu Xi originally planned to go to Old Madam Chu's side, but when she thought that she was trying to match herself with the Eighth Prince, maybe she would do something even more excessive, she couldn't help but stop angrily, she had nowhere to go in this huge Yan Mansion.

"Miss, the old lady has ordered, you and His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince"

"I have a daughter's house. It's going to have to be famous. Chu Xi's voice was cold: "The eighth prince is a royal man, if the marriage can be decided by him, it would be fine, but there is a concubine Niangniang above him, would the concubine Niangniang be willing to let a frivolous woman become her daughter-in-law?" ”

Chunzhi pursed her lips tightly: "What the eldest lady said is true." ”

Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and Yun Songyi happened to catch up: "Sister Xi'er, are you okay?" ”

"I wonder if there's a place to rest?" Chu Xi looked at her as if asking for help, it was indeed that she was not prepared enough today, and she didn't know that the Eighth Prince was so reckless.

Yun Songyi nodded: "Go to my yard, ordinary people there won't go over." ”

Chu Ji bowed her head and left with her, but met the panicked Bai Clan halfway.

Bai Shi was also panicked, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Have you seen my Fei'er?" ”

"Is Miss Qin Er gone?" Yun Song Yi Dao.

Bai Shi nodded hurriedly: "I took her to the truffle pavilion, and when she turned her head, she disappeared." ”

"Don't worry, maybe it's a little girl who is playful, so I'll go and tell my grandfather and ask him to take someone to search." Yun Songyi is half the master of the house, so he naturally has to take care of the guests first, so he had to look back at Chu Xi apologetically.

Chu Xi bowed her head slightly and motioned for her to leave first, looking at Bai's panicked back, she always felt that this matter was a little strange.

"Miss, where are we going?" Lu Ya looked at her, and suddenly found that Chu Xi's waist had become empty: "Miss, where is your jade pendant?" ”

Chu Xi lowered her head, remembering that Chu Dai'er had pounced on her just now, her face became solemn, she raised her eyes to look at Yun Songyue, who was leaving in a hurry, and said, "Go to the old lady immediately." ”

On the verandah, Chu Qitai seemed to have been waiting for Chu Ji to come over for a long time.

"Big sister, where are you going in such a hurry?" Chu Qitai took the folding fan and tapped it in his hand, pacing slowly.

Green Bud stepped forward and glared at him: "Eldest prince, what are you doing here?" ”

Chu Qitai glanced at her fiercely: "For the sake of your good appearance, this son doesn't care about you, dodge, the master doesn't have the right to intervene when he speaks." ”

Chu Xi stood still and didn't move, looking at him lightly: "What did you do to Qin Fei?" ”

Chu Qitai looked at her, with some surprise in his eyes, and immediately laughed: "Sure enough, you are a smart one, my mother and little sister have been deceived by you." But it doesn't matter, you won't be able to do anything soon, it's just a pity that little Nizi, like her mother, has her own romance, but it's all the same damn. Chu Qitai said in the end, his eyes were full of killing intent, Chu Ji remembered Fu'er in his previous life, and gritted his teeth slightly: "She is only eight years old, what does it matter to you!" ”

"Yo, angry?" Chu Qitai smiled and walked up to Chu Xi: "You can say a few nice words to me now, maybe I can spare you" As he spoke, he raised his hand to touch Chu Xi's face, but Chu Xi firmly grabbed his wrist.

Chu Ji leaned forward slightly, and just when Chu Qitai smelled the fragrance on her body and was intoxicated, a hairpin had already pressed against Chu Qitai's chin, and her cold voice came from her ears, "Since God doesn't accept you, I'll collect it for him." ”

Chu Xi's strength is amazing, she is now like a mother who protects her calf, Chu Qitai was shocked into a cold sweat behind her back: "Chu Xi, I am your own brother, you dare to kill me here?" ”

"And next time, this hairpin will pass through your head, saying, where is the person!" Chu Xi's eyes were red and she looked at him fiercely.

Chu Qitai gritted his teeth: "I don't believe you really dare"

Chu Xi's hairpin used three more points of strength to go up, and the blood slowly flowed down the hairpin, and the green shoots were already stupid, for fear that someone would pass by at this time.

Chu Xi coldly met his eyes: "There's nothing I don't dare, say!" ”

"In、In the rockery behind the truffle pavilion"

Chu Xi pushed him away fiercely, lifted his skirt and was about to run over, but a snow-white figure came out from behind the pillar not far from the verandah: "You are too careless." ”

Chu Xi's eyes were already wet, and she saved Qin Fei, as if she was redeeming herself, redeeming Fu'er.

Lin Qingyu looked at her tears, was slightly stunned, sighed almost inaudibly, and stepped forward to hug her waist: "Let's go." After that, the figures of the two were already ten meters away.
