Chapter 9 Princess Duan

Duanwang's Mansion is located on the side of the main street of Chishui, sitting in the north and facing south, with three open gates, vermilion columns, covered with green glazed tiles, the roof ridge is equipped with a kissing beast, a female and a male two lions stand mightily and domineeringly on both sides.

The backyard of the palace is a small and elegant garden, one side of the rockery, one side of the lake, the curved corridor pavilion, the sunny and rainy days can be enjoyed by the railing, the pebbles of different colors spell together the winding path, go to the end, is a full moon shaped arch, the arch is full of fragrant roses with spikes, the arch is mixed with trees behind the forest, quite a winding path through the fun.

Under the sun, the vigorous leaves shine with oily luster, a stone table and a stone bench are placed under the tree, a middle-aged woman with a stunning appearance is sitting on the stone bench, learning embroidery at a glance, her complexion is delicate, white as jade, ten fingers are slender, wearing a green onion white narrow sleeve shirt with a collar placket, and a budding peony with a tangled branch is pinned on the hair bun, the decoration is delicate and complex, graceful and luxurious.

The woman is Princess Duan Bai Xiyu, who has nothing to do left and right, and suddenly came up with the idea of learning embroidery.

She embroidered for a while, then took it farther away, tilted her head and asked the maid standing on the side with a smile: "Xiaoqu, look at how the princess embroidered today?"

The maid on the side had clear eyebrows, and she smiled: "Slave maid, look, the princess's embroidery today is much better than yesterday!"

"You just bluff me!" Bai Xiyu said with a smile, put his hand on the stone table, and brought the tea cup with his hand: "This embroidery is not easy to learn!" The maid named Xiaoqu neatly smoothed out the somewhat messy colored threads, and packed the scissors on the table into a small basket. She smiled: "In the slave's hometown, there are also embroidery girls who specialize in embroidery for a living.

"I haven't seen peace this morning, where did this girl go wild?" Bai Xiyu asked with a frown. "Back to the princess, the county lord of Anning went to look for Duan Gongzi early in the morning!" "Duan Zhijun, is it the son of the military department?" Bai Xiyu raised his eyes and said. Xiaoqu nodded: "Yes, princess!"

Bai Xiyu said unhappily: "When An Ning returns home, let her come to my house, how can I say that she is also a lady who has not yet left the cabinet, how can she always mix with those rough and reckless people, and make people laugh!" "Yes, princess!" Seeing Bai Xiyu's gloomy face, Xiaoqu didn't dare to say anything else.

Bai Xiyu took a sip of tea, raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Duanwang Lin Shuo dressed in light gray clothes, with her hands behind her back, slowly walking towards this side, her face was slightly gloomy, she stood up, and said coldly: "Xiaoqu, let's go back to the house!"

Xiaoqu looked at King Duan, who walked to the front, in embarrassment, and persuaded softly, "Princess, you have neglected the prince for five days, and in the long run, if the prince is impatient and has the heart of marrying a concubine, how can it be..."

"Do you think he dares to have the guts?" Bai Xiyu rebuked with a gloomy face, turned around and left. Suddenly, Lin Shuo shouted eagerly: "Xiyu, Xiyu and so on, this king has something to talk to you about!" As soon as he heard that he had something to discuss, Bai Xiyu stopped, turned his head and looked at Duan Wang Lin Shuo with a smiling face with a cold look, "What is the matter of the prince? If it is for Princess Lanqiong's business, the concubine does not want to hear a word, for fear of polluting her ears!"

Lin Shuo motioned for Xiaoqu to go down first, he walked up to Bai Xiyu, and said with a bitter face: "Xiyu, the matter of Princess Lanqiong is approved by the emperor, how do you want this king to refuse? This king has also told you many times, the princess came to the palace, just to be the righteous daughter of this king, she will never have any wrong thoughts!" Bai Xiyu glared at Lin Shuo fiercely, Lin Shuo said in a low voice: "Xiyu is so smart, why can't you see through this matter? Your husband and I are ugly, how can the princess look at it." ”

Bai Xiyu sneered and laughed, she sneered: "The prince is now in his prime of life, handsome, and talented!" Lin Shuo stepped forward and held Bai Xiyu's hand, and laughed: "The princess sees that this king is handsome and incomparable, and the jade tree is in the wind." ”

"What did you just say I can't see through?" Bai Xiyu asked puzzledly, "Could it be that she has another purpose for living in the palace..."She was slightly stunned for a moment, suddenly frowned, and muttered: "It won't be for Mo'er, right?"

Lin Shuo touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "It is said that this Tianyu country lord Yu Bowei is scheming, and the city is quite deep, now it seems that Princess Lanqiong in the court that day was crying and making trouble, I am afraid that it is all within his plan." ”

"What does the prince mean is that we have all been calculated by him?" Bai Xiyu asked with a gloomy face. Lin Shuo held Bai Xiyu's hand tightly and said with a smile: "The princess of this king is so smart, then she must be able to guess that the princess moved to the palace to live, but the drunkard does not mean to drink!"

"Such a scheming woman, my Mo'er can't look down on it" Bai Xiyu said disdainfully: "Even if it's Lin Feng, I don't agree!" Lin Shuo smiled dotingly: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you." Bai Xiyu looked sideways and said: "At first, I wanted to stay away from right and wrong, but this time I went around and around, and I was entangled in right and wrong again!"

Lin Shuo sighed slightly: "Xiyu, haven't you noticed, Duanwangfu itself is a place of right and wrong, and it's not a bad thing if Mo'er doesn't come back!" Bai Xiyu suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: "According to the prince's opinion, Mo'er's injury, who can't bear it?" Lin Shuo patted her hand softly: "You and I both know it! Don't worry too much, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!Come, this king has a treasure to give to the princess!"

"Lord Wang, what kind of treasure is it?" Bai Xiyu asked, Lin Shuo looked mysterious, pulled her and walked towards the main house: "You'll know when you see it." The princess will love it!"

Today, the tea fragrance in the Qing study is overflowing, the elegant scenery of the light smoke and flowing water on the screen is very compatible with the tactful and melodious piano sound behind, there is no incense, the cloisonne vase on the desk is inserted with a few petals rolling water droplets of green peonies, light yellow stamens, the fragrance is wisps, if there is nothing.

Duan Zhijun quietly looked at the side, and the county lord of Anning who came out in disguise as a man, fidgeted, this county lord of Anning will not follow him, if the master sees it for a while, I don't know if he will be angry!

I saw that the pearl and jade curtain separated from the inner and outer rooms was lifted by the maid, and the man with a long body and jade body walked out, he was handsome and handsome, and his right thumb was still covered with the blood jade wrench, and the lord of Anning jumped up happily when he saw the man in Xuanyi come out, and shouted repeatedly: Brother Mo, Anning finally saw you!"

The man frowned invisibly, looked An Ning up and down, and there was a hint of warmth in his voice: "When did An Ning come? Why did you dress like this?" After saying that, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Duan Zhijun coldly, "Master forgive your sins!" Duan Zhijun hurriedly replied respectfully! "Brother Mo, don't blame Brother Duan, it's An Ning who is pestering him, and he has to follow!"
