Chapter 15 Hold on
Next to the Marquis of Dingbei are the three princes, in turn Wei Ziheng, Wei Yingxue, and another girl, all the tables are surrounded by a semicircle, just enough to see each other.
The eyes of several people fell on Mu Jiu's body invariably, after all, it was difficult for such a person to be there without paying attention.
The third prince asked: "I don't know who this one is next to the Hou Ye?" ”
Xiao Junshu didn't raise his eyelids, and replied: "The maid in the house, there is no need to introduce it." ”
Servant girl? The third prince doesn't believe it, Xiao Junshu has always been around people who are not allowed to enter, women don't want to enter him three steps, and the house never seems to have used a maid, when will there be an extra maid, and he can still be taken by Xiao Junshu's side, and even sit together to eat?
Wei Yingxue gently put down the teacup, and her voice was curling: "I heard that Master Hou accepted Miss Mu Jiajiu, could it be the one in front of you?"
Now, it's shocking, Xiao Junshu's concubine? Although it is just a concubine, for so many years, there have been many women in and out of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but no one has ever had a name, not even a concubine.
Xiao Junshu glanced at Mu Jiu and didn't answer, but his attitude was acquiescing.
Wei Yingxue smiled meaninglessly: "Miss Mu Jiu can actually win the favor of the Hou Ye, what a blessing." ”
Mu Jiu finally looked up, turned his head slightly, and used a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master Hou, she calls me favored, I can't afford this kind of blessing alone, why don't you also favor this big beauty?" ”、
Xiao Junshu slowly put down his chopsticks, lowered his eyes and ignored her: "This imperial chef's skills are good, and he is baked just right, Your Highness might as well taste it first." ”
Xia Hou Rui's expression paused for a moment, and he immediately continued: "What Hou Ye said is that this freshly baked taste should be tasted well." ”
It's strange that Xiao Junshu would actually help a concubine to break the siege and speak.
Yu Guang glanced at Mu Jiu, who was silent, although his appearance was good, but he didn't have the dignity and elegance of a woman at all, his eyes looked back at Wei Yingxue, it was obviously Wei Yingxue who made men pity and moved, why didn't Xiao Junshu look down on it?
Wei Yingxue was seen by the third prince and her whole body tightened, and her hanging hand was pinched until it turned white.
Xia Hourui's expression let her know what she was thinking, she must have wanted her to get close to Xiao Junshu.
Wei Yingxue glanced at Xiao Junshu, she admitted that he had the appearance of a celestial man, whether it was his status or appearance, he was enough to be called a dragon and a phoenix among people, but she ...... His eyes were on Xia Hourui, and his eyes were slightly lowered, all gloomy.
The woman sitting next to Wei Yingxue was her cousin, named Li Qiuxu, seeing Wei Yingxue's gloomy expression, she thought that she was gloomy because Xiao Junshu had a concubine, so she leaned over to comfort: "Cousin, don't be discouraged, that Mu Jiu is just a concubine, with your identity and beauty, it is more than enough to be the wife of the Hou Mansion, and when the Hou Ye understands your goodness, he will definitely carry a sedan chair to marry you, and he can compare her casually." ”
"Yes....... Is it? Wei Yingxue lowered her head.
Li Qiuxu joked and said, "Alas, my cousin is still shy." ”
Shy? No one saw how pale Wei Yingxue's face was.
Xiao Junshu didn't want to talk about Mu Jiu more, and the three princes and others didn't keep mentioning it, so they chatted with Xiao Junshu about the court and ate meat together.
Because it was not dinner time, and he was not particularly hungry, after eating some meat, the third prince proposed archery.
"Dingbei Hou is brave and good at fighting, and his archery skills are also first-class, the palace still remembers that there was a brown bear in the royal hunting ground last time, the brown bear was extremely two meters high, and the guards were too afraid to step forward, only Dingbei Hou shot an arrow through the head of the brown bear, and was killed on the spot.
Xiao Junshu did not refuse, and put down the chopsticks unhurriedly: "Since His Royal Highness said so, Benhou will naturally accompany him." ”
The third prince laughed twice and asked people to prepare.
There is a special shooting range, several tables, each with bows and arrows.
A group of people got up and went over there, Xiahou Jin fell behind, and when he looked sideways, Mu Jiu was still sitting there eating meat.
couldn't help but twitch his eyelids: "You still eat?" ”
From the beginning to the present, I haven't seen her stop talking, even if it's really delicious, you don't have to eat it all the time, right? Also, girls eat so much meat, aren't they afraid of getting fat?
Xiahou Jin stretched out his hand to pull Mu Jiu, Mu Jiu frowned: "What are you doing?" ”
"Go shoot arrows."
"Don't." She doesn't like archery, so it's good to eat roast mutton.
"Eat, eat, eat, how do you know how to eat." Xiahou Jin simply convinced her, and pulled her up: "Accompany me." ”
Mu Jiu: "......", this bastard who is dragging her feet, what are you doing to find her to die?
A group of people went to the shooting range, Mu Jiu held a green apple and gnawed on it, not to mention, I didn't think it just now, but now I found that I ate a little too much, and I held on.
Xiao Junshu, the third prince and Wei Ziheng stepped forward, each with a longbow, tried the feel, and then took the arrow to draw the bow.
"Whoosh."
The third prince was the first to shoot an arrow and hit the bull's-eye directly.
"Your Highness is amazing." Li Qiuxu couldn't help but applaud, only to find that she was the only one after shouting, blushing in embarrassment, and bowing her head with a smile.
The third prince smiled, but he didn't point at her, and turned his head to look at Xiao Junshu: "Master Hou, let's have a game?" ”
Wei Ziheng chuckled: "Your Highness, this competition has to be a little bit of a lottery to be interesting, why don't we gamble on it." ”
The third prince thought about it and agreed: "Then in your opinion, what to use to make a color head?" ”
"Take the most precious thing on your body, and whoever wins, it will all be his."
"That's good." The third prince thought about it, and directly took a piece of dragon-patterned jade pendant from his waist: "This is used in this palace." ”
Wei Ziheng took out a folding fan, and there was a jade ring pendant under the folding fan: "Your Highness, this is my favorite fan." ”
The two looked at Xiao Junshu, Xiao Junshu was wearing wide sleeves, and there were no pendants on his body, it seemed that the sleeves were empty, and the most valuable thing was probably the hair crown on his head.
Xiao Junshu naturally wouldn't take off the crown faux pas, thought about it, took a piece from his sleeve and threw it on the table.
The third prince saw it clearly, and his pupils suddenly shrank, this is ...... Dingbei Hou's token? You can enter and exit the palace gate at will, and you can pass unhindered in the army.
With this token, it represents the identity of Dingbei Hou, although it cannot be completely replaced, but it can also have a certain right to speak.
"Master Hou, who are you?"
It's just a bet on how to get the token out.
Xiao Junshu didn't care much: "The most valuable, is it more valuable than this?" Since he agreed to make a bet, Ben Hou naturally abides by the rules, and if His Royal Highness can win Ben Hou, he can take this token. ”
Casual attitude, as if what he took out was a piece of iron.
The hand holding the bow and arrow of the third prince clenched tightly: "Hou Ye is really sincere, but this token matter, if it is known by his father, I am afraid that he will blame Hou Ye." ”
"That's the matter of Benhou, don't bother His Highness."
