Cui Jiao hit a wall at Fu Yan and sulked, but Fu Yan was her master, and she had to hold her sulk, and she was indispensable to the errand, so she could only think happily, although Fu Yan did not recruit her brother as a diner, he should help her make excuses, at least she could separate from Cui's long house first.

Cui Jiao waited for a little half a month, but there was no news about the excuse.

It is the day of rest, Fu Yan has time to rest, because he is a person who practices martial arts, can not be lazy for a long time, when he is not injured, he will play a set of punches in the morning, and now the injury is good, the punch can not be beaten, it is suitable for health preservation, according to the doctor's instructions, practice the five bird play for half an hour every morning.

Cui Jiao pestle in front of the Chongwen Palace, watching him practice the five-bird drama five or six times before stopping, hurriedly handed him a towel to wipe his sweat, and took the time to ask him in a low voice, "Has His Royal Highness made a loan for the concubine?" ”

Fu Yan was stunned, wiped her sweat, didn't look at her, sat down next to the tea bed under the porch, and waited for her to make tea and drink.

No matter how stupid Cui Jiao is, he understands that he doesn't plan to make excuses for her, he was fooling her before.

Cui Jiao sat beside him, only then took out the tea cake, and then burst into tears, both eyes were red, and he lowered his head and let out a small cry intermittently, "...... There is no such bullying. ”

There was still a female history standing under the corridor, and as soon as she cried, those female histories did not need instructions, and they all consciously avoided it.

Fu Yan twisted her eyebrows and glanced at Cui Jiao, her two rows of eyelashes were wet with tears, she shed tears and muttered in her mouth, only daring to complain in a low voice, "It's good and it's a lie." ”

The prince is still talking like a fart.

Even the tip of her nose was red from crying, and the rays of the morning sun reflected on her face, like a white porcelain carved with snow jade on the pink edge, clear and firm and weak.

Fu Yan knocked on the tea bed impatiently, "I'm lonely and thirsty, make tea." ”

Thirsty to death you'd best!

Cui Jiao added charcoal to the stove and ignited the charcoal fire, crying tears blurred her vision, and she accidentally burned her hands and gasped in pain.

She cried even more bitterly while holding her hot hands, and fumbled to make him tea, which would be filled with her tears.

At other times, Fu Yan must reprimand two sentences, but now it is indeed his fault, what he promised to others has not been done, just let her cry for a while.

Fu Yan said, "You go down." ”

Cui Jiao got up, didn't forget to retreat, and cried in the corridor.

Fu Yan made tea by himself, and the tea was tasteless, and he felt bored after a few sips, so he removed the tea bed, changed into a regular suit and went out of the East Palace, and went to Chang'an's Zhichong Shangfu (1) to inspect.

When he returned in the evening, he didn't feel at ease about this matter, and he also called people to serve when he was in charge of politics at night, but Cui Jiao obviously couldn't get over this matter, both eyes were swollen from crying, and he sat next to him and continued to cry.

Fu Yan, who was crying, couldn't settle down, and let her go out again, and she also left obediently.

Her crying looked like it took a day or two to stop, and the people behind her were silent, as long as she appeared in front of him, she drooped her face, only did things, and no longer flattered him, and it was clear that she was losing her temper with him.

It's just this little thing, endlessly.

In the final analysis, she is a concubine, and her soft and affectionate feelings do make Fu Yan iron, but if she continues to make trouble like this with her pampering, Fu Yan is also annoyed, and she is already thinking about it, it is better to let it out.

He had this idea, he should have released people immediately, just in time for the emperor to celebrate the Qianqiu Festival, both inside and outside the court were busy, local vassal kings, foreign envoys gathered in Chang'an, and the soldiers from all over the north and south of the government needed to play mental defense, the emperor's birthday, Fu Yan's shoulders were heavier, and he couldn't find time to release people for a while.

It was raining on this day, the family order greeted Fu Yan with an umbrella, Fu Yan had just returned from the Daming Palace, there were many things to explain to him, the two hurried back to the inner hall along the palace road, turned the front corridor, and saw the lake pavilion on the mountain pond from a distance, Cui Jiao led the female history to hide from the rain, and the family order was about to call someone to send an umbrella, but saw Guo Shoushan trotting all the way into the pavilion.

Fu Yan's footsteps stopped.

The family order measured his look, not like a happy look, he could only stand dryly, and it was not easy to remind.

Cui Jiao didn't expect to meet Guo Shoushan in the pavilion, and after meeting him, she asked him where he came from.

Guo Shoushan was still as shy as before, saying, "I went to the study to buy paper and pens, and some miscellaneous items." ”

Cui Jiao said curiously, "Master Guo repaired the "Water Classic" for His Royal Highness, how can there be a shortage of paper and pen? ”

Guo Shoushan said, "There is no shortage of paper and pen in the compilation and revision of the "Water Classic", and it is used by a certain person. ”

He seems to be too honest, he has become a diner of Fu Yan, even if he borrows the paper and pen of the "Water Classic", no one will say anything, he is so clear, it can be seen that Fu Yan picked the right person.

Cui Jiao was angry when she thought of Fu Yan, in the past few days, she didn't deal with him, and she didn't see him let go of his mouth to make excuses for her, so she must have been determined not to help her.

She was depressed for several days, and she wanted to come to the garden when Fu Yan was not there, and she didn't want to rain so much.

Looking at the bookbag Guo Shoushan was carrying, Guo Shoushan suddenly thought that he had bought some single-cage golden soufflé in the West Market, and hurriedly took it out and said, "This is bought in the East Market, if Cui Zhangshu doesn't dislike it, please taste it." ”

Cui Jiao entered the East Palace as soon as she came to Chang'an, and she didn't have a chance to taste the food outside, so she generously reached over and picked up a piece of single-cage golden soufflé to eat.

The single-cage golden soufflé is very fragrant, soft and glutinous, Cui Jiao said that it was delicious and asked him what kind of sweets this is.

Guo Shoushan replied, blushing and said, "I also bought it casually, Cui Zhangshu took it back and ate it, if, if you like it......"

He is not a wealthy person, and Cui Jiao is embarrassed to accept his things, so he hesitates to refuse.

On the side street, Fu Yan's face was dark and heavy.

The family commander said tentatively, "The servant should ask someone to deliver the umbrella." ”

Fu Yan lifted her chin.

The family order was busy with a small servant to send an umbrella over.

The servant ran to the pavilion and shouted at them, "Cui Zhangshu, Guo Fuzi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has called the servant to bring you an umbrella." ”

Cui Jiao saw Fu Yan standing on the side street, pulling her face, as if she had done something unforgivable again.

Cui Jiao thanked Guo Shoushan first, refused to accept the confectionery, followed her Yuzhu to take the umbrella handed by the servant and prop it up, and left with her hand in hand.

Guo Shoushan couldn't help but be lonely for a moment, raised his sleeves and bowed in the direction of Fu Yan, also took the servant's umbrella, and left the pavilion.

Cui Jiao walked to Fu Yan's side, and was about to give a salute, but Fu Yan didn't look at her, and walked away.

Cui Jiao bit her lip, what did she do wrong, how could someone deceive others and show the face of the deceived person, just because he is the prince, he can be so excessive!

Cui Jiao could only talk a few words, and followed him back, originally thought that she was going to serve in front of him, but as a result, she was allowed to stay in the corridor room and not run around, Cui Jiao endured her anger, she didn't run around if she didn't run around, she was very comfortable in the corridor room, it was better than serving him.

The Qianqiu Festival has a three-day holiday as usual, and Cui Jiao has nothing to do.

Fu Yan went to Daming Palace early in the morning, Cui Jiao slept late for the first time, and used the morning food, the female historians should have removed the eating bed, but the kitchen sent a lot of tea and sweets, saying that it was the Thousand Autumn Festival, and the saint was happy with the people, according to the previous rules, and everyone who sent these eaters to enjoy it together.

Cui Jiao and the female historians talked together around the eating bed.

"In previous years, the Qianqiu Festival was particularly lively, His Majesty invited hundreds of officials in the Calyx Building, the ministers offered mannitol and long live birthday wine, the princes and nobles had to wear gold mirrors, the scholars and the common people also had to carry their bags, and the foreign envoys would also offer many rare treasures!"

"Now the birthday banquet of Calyx House has probably opened, and there must be dancing girls dancing neon clothes and feathers dancing at the banquet, as well as horned Wanfu, jumping swords to find collisions, kicking balls and stepping ropes, and dancing on poles (2) These interesting plays! It's a pity we can't see it. ”

Cui Jiao lay on the side of the tea bed, pillowed her head and said, "I see that His Royal Highness is busy, we just went to the Calyx Building, and we are also serving people, how can we have the time to watch a hundred operas?"

Nanxing nodded, "What the palm book said is right, the only one who can be comfortable on the day of the Thousand Autumn Festival is the saint." ”

The emperor is accompanied by beauties, often singing, dancing and playing music, and when he is not comfortable one day, it is Fu Yan, the prince, who is tired and tired.

Mu Xiang gnawed on the peach in his hand, opened his eyes and asked, "I heard from the other sisters that there are also foreign beauties on the Thousand Autumn Festival!" ”

"Yes, there is such a thing, most of the princesses sent are foreign princesses, either they enter the palace and become Your Majesty's concubines, or they are pointed out by Your Majesty to which prince and magnates," Yuzhu said.

Cui Jiao's amorous eyes bent, "Will it be pointed out to His Highness?" At that time, we will have a foreign princess in the East Palace. ”

Several people were amused by her.

Nanxing said, "Don't laugh at the palm, how can a foreigner be the crown princess." ”

Cui Jiao hummed, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different (3), the crown princess favored by Her Royal Highness the Queen must be the most virtuous and decent aristocratic girl in Chang'an." ”

When the three of them saw that she said that the crown princess was not jealous, they were secretly surprised, she wouldn't really dislike His Royal Highness the prince, this is not bad, in the future, the East Palace will enter the crown princess, even if she loses the favor of His Royal Highness the prince, she can live very well.

The four of them talked about other interesting things, and then ate the refreshments, and then they went out to have fun on their own.

--

On the day of the Qianqiu Festival, Fu Yan was busy until the night before returning to the East Palace, listening to the family order to report the movement of the corridor, Cui Jiao never came out all day, and did not come to Chongwen Hall to look for him, since she entered the East Palace, in addition to not being familiar with the East Palace before, she did not dare to run around, and she was familiar with it, and she came to Chongwen Hall to find him, and often stuck to his side.

Since that day, after she had an awkward scene, as long as he didn't summon people, she wouldn't come, and she would eat things from other men's hands.

Just thinking of Cui Jiao's clever smile in the face of Guo Shoushan, Fu Yan could not contain the annoyance in his chest, he thought, just a concubine, it was only useful to take her back to the East Palace at first, and now, she is no longer useful, but her mouth is sweet, but it is just that bit of warmth.

He has nothing to be nostalgic about, and neither should he.

Fu Yan has since decided to leave Cui Jiao in the cold.

If you don't summon or ask her everything, you will treat it as if there is no such person in the East Palace.

Cui Jiao also found out that he no longer called her to go to the night companion of the night, she was originally angry, after two days in the corridor room, she slowly dissipated her persuasion, she was in the East Palace, not to mention that in the future, at least for the time being, she was tied to Fu Yan, annoyed him, was driven out of the East Palace, she could not survive in Chang'an, and she could not go back to Qinghe.

Fu Yan is someone she can't afford to offend.

After Cui Jiao figured it out, she took the initiative to find someone.

At this time, it was only over July, and it was about to be the beginning of August, and the night had cooled down, Cui Jiao stood in front of Huang Zhai and listened to the family order, "Your Highness said that you don't need Cui Zhangshu to accompany you at night in the future, Cui Zhangshu will go back to sleep." ”

Cui Jiao raised her head, her eyes were soaked with tears, "Is that really what Your Highness said?" ”

The pitiful look of the little lady with tears in her eyes is very soft, but what Fu Yan has decided, no one can change it, and the family order nodded.

Cui Jiao was like a frosted eggplant, hanging her head and walking back, she had already said that Fu Yan couldn't be provoked, but in the past few months, she had finally made him care a little more in his heart, and now she has become the original unkind death.

Cui Jiao regretted it a little, she relied on him for everything she wanted, how could she have the confidence to make a temperament with him, and she didn't know what to do if she was like this.

I can only go back to the corridor first, and then think of another way.

--

After two days, as the family order said, Fu Yan really didn't ask her to serve, Cui Jiao gradually became depressed, and the female historians also found out, so they thought again, the prince just didn't call her for two days, she was worried, it can be seen that they thought wrong before, she was in love with the prince, only because the prince has always been favored, so she will not take it seriously, once she falls out of favor, she will be sad.

But if she really falls out of favor, what's the use of her being sad.

The female historians can only sympathize with her, and think about the benefits, even if the prince doesn't love her, she is still in charge of the inner workshop, and it is good to have them to accompany and serve you in the moon?

On the third day, a servant from the other end of the Chongwen Palace suddenly came to the corridor to spread Fu Yan's words, and asked her to follow him to the Xiangwang Mansion for a banquet.

Fu Yan actually took her to the banquet.

Cui Jiao said happily, "Let me go and change my clothes." ”

The servant said, "Your Highness said that Cui Zhangshu went over in a women's official uniform, because it was the Xiangwang Mansion who handed over the invitation, and invited you to go with His Highness." ”

Cui Jiao's eyes darkened, it turned out that he didn't want her to go, she was a little female official, and she also had a holiday with King Xiang, and King Xiang invited her to a banquet, and she went to the Hongmen banquet.

Cui Jiao didn't want to go, but seeing that the servant was urging him tightly, he had to go if he didn't go, so he had to go with him.

The prince must take a carriage whenever he travels, Cui Jiao is not qualified to take a carriage, sits in the carriage behind, and arrives at Xiangwang's mansion, when he gets off the car, he sees that Fu Yan is not waiting for her at all, already.

Her resentment towards Fu Yan at the moment is to the extreme, since she doesn't want to see her anymore, find a reason not to bring her over, what else can King Xiang say.

She trotted close to Fu Yan and muttered to His Highness, but when she didn't see Fu Yan looking back at her, she snorted in her heart, and followed him to the door.

King Xiang Fu Chengze and a man with a black beard and a foreign appearance greeted him, King Xiang first took the man to salute Fu Yan, then looked at Cui Jiao, and grinned, "Cui Zhangshu, let's meet again, this is the prince of the Great Food King, Tuo Po Li." ”

Fu Chengze talked to Cui Jiao about that Tuo Po again, Tuo Po was a few miles away from the tongue man next to him, Tuo Po left her jaw, and looked at Cui Jiao with a pair of bull's eyes, the sight made Cui Jiao uncomfortable, and Cui Jiao wanted to hide behind Fu Yan.

Fu Chengze said, "Prince Tuo Poli heard that Cui Zhangshu is very good at playing polo, and he admires Cui Zhangshu very much. ”

Cui Jiao sensed his ill intentions and couldn't think of a reason to refuse for a while.

Fu Yan suddenly said, "She has injuries on her body. ”

Fu Chengze pretended to be concerned, "Where is Cui Zhangshu's injury, and why is it injured." ”

Fu Yan's lips moved slightly, "For the sake of Wu Niang's reputation, King Xiang really wants to say it alone?" ”

Fu Chengze immediately understood that she was the one who conspired with the eldest princess to design Zheng Xiaorao's injury, Zheng Xiaorao was in prison, and the fifth princess was also grounded in the princess, so she couldn't mention it, so she gave up and led them into the palace together.

The banquet is placed in the back hall, Cui Jiao came to Xiangwang's Mansion for the first time, only to feel that this mansion is very large, and the house is full of strange flowers and plants, the more the court smells the agarwood fragrance, to the back hall, that is, the lakeside pavilion is actually made of agarwood, how precious the agarwood is, Xiangwang's Mansion actually built a pavilion, Fu Yan rarely uses agarwood for incense on weekdays, which is also too luxurious.

When entering the back hall, Cui Jiao felt a chill, and the eye was the wind turquoise standing next to the pine potted plant, this stone was a little bigger than the one in the East Palace, and the elegance of the wind turquoise stone could not be seen, and it was carved into a python shape, only the pine texture on it could be vaguely judged to be wind turquoise.

Cui Jiao secretly thought, the emperor is really eccentric, such a big wind pine stone was actually given to King Xiang, she thought that the one in the Chongwen Hall was larger, and King Xiang also dared to carve the wind pine stone into a python, who didn't know that the python was a clawless dragon.

King Xiang's desire to become the crown prince is really obvious.

She didn't look at Fu Yan with joy or anger, it seemed that these were already common.

King Xiang led them into the table, Cui Jiao was Fu Yan's female official, it was not easy to sit on the table, so she could only stand on Fu Yan's side, watching the dishes and jade presented to the table, and then King Xiang clapped his hands, and the servants brought an iron frame and iron cage to the hall.

"I recently tasted a delicacy called Goose and Duck Roast, and I specially invited the third brother and Prince Tupo to enjoy it."

Fu Chengze clapped his hands, and the maid opened the iron cage, spread a layer of seasoning on the cage, and then lit the charcoal under the cage, and then put the live geese and ducks in.

It was a living goose, roasted in an iron cage, screaming and jumping, and Fu Chengze and Tabra laughed as they watched it.

The fragrance of spices could be smelled in the air, but Cui Jiao almost wanted to be disgusted, but seeing Fu Yan's impermanence, she couldn't show her disgust.

"King Xiang's fetish is unbearable for ordinary people, if you don't like this dish, you can withdraw it," Fu Yan took a sip of wine and said lightly.

Fu Chengze said, "The third brother naturally doesn't like it if he hasn't eaten it, but he will like it when he eats it." ”

Fu Yan hooked her lips, "Lone doesn't like it." ”

Fu Chengze looked at him smiling, but cold, now most of the government is in his hands, the emperor is getting older, he no longer deals with miscellaneous politics, the majority of the court supports him, Fu Chengze is still at a disadvantage, today's banquet is not to tear his face with him.

It's for the revenge of Wu Niang.

Fu Chengze waved his hand and asked someone to carry the goose and duck iron cage away, and then the dancers entered through the side door, and the silk and bamboo music in the hall began.

Cui Jiao observed that those dancing girls were dancing the Hu Xuan Dance, with brown hair and blue eyes, covered with a veil and twisting a graceful and slender waist, like the restaurant Hu she had seen in the West Market, but there was no restaurant Hu with fair skin.

This is a dancing girl from the Great Food Country.

As if to confirm her guess, the leading dancer turned her body to Fu Yan's dining table and enthusiastically displayed her dancing posture.

But Fu Yan kept lowering his head and tasting the wine slowly, and the dancing girl couldn't get his gaze, so she could only retreat into the field, finish the Hu Xuan dance, and then unveiled, she was a very showy, slightly darkened exotic beauty.

After a while, the tongue man saluted Fu Yan and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Prince Tu Poli fell in love with the female official behind you at first sight, and he wanted to exchange the dancing girl for you. ”

Cui Jiao froze, this bearded man wanted to exchange her with Fu Yan, if Fu Yan agreed, she would leave her hometown and follow the bearded man to the big food country.

Only then did she understand why King Xiang invited her over, Fu Yan would bring her here, the bearded man was the prince of the Great Food Country, the Great Food Country and the Great Liang had been friendly for many years, this bearded man wanted her, and Fu Yan would probably send her out.

Cui Jiao's face turned white with fright, and she shrank and looked at Fu Yan.

Fu Yan drank the last sip of wine in the cup, raised his head, and Chong Tuo Poli showed a vague smile, and said, "The lonely female official doesn't give it away." ”

Cui Jiao's hands were sweating tightly, and because of this sentence, she felt that even if he was not a good master, at least he didn't want to give her away, he was a good person, and she was grateful to him at this moment.

With a disappointed expression, he chirped again, then got up and bowed to Fu Yan again, and then took his dancing girl away.

Fu Yan also got up and said, "Thank you King Xiang for your hospitality, there is still government affairs to deal with, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Fu Chengze stopped him, "Third brother, this is not my idea, it was Tuo Poli who praised Cui Zhangshu, so he asked me to come to invite you." ”

Fu Yan snorted coldly.

Fu Chengze's voice lowered slightly, "Third brother, Wu Niang has been locked up for a month, she knows that she is wrong, and she wants to apologize to the eldest sister, can you inform the eldest sister?" ”

Fu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, "King Xiang has opened his mouth to beg Gu, Gu will tell Sister Gu for you, but Sister Forgive Wu Niang, it depends on what she means." ”

Fu Chengze secretly hated in his heart, and bent down to bow to him, "Thank you, third brother." ”

Fu Yan accepted it with peace of mind, turned around and took Cui Jiao away from King Xiang.

Just after returning to the East Palace, Cui Jiao followed Fu Yan into the side hall, there was warm soup in the side hall, Fu Yan bathed and never liked her to come in, this was the first time she entered.

They bypassed the gilded screen of the landscape, and Fu Yan took off her long boots and stood on the purple mat, and opened her hand to her, signaling to remove his clothes for him.

Cui Jiao shook his hand and untied his belt, opened his shirt, and his strong chest was exposed little by little.

When she was about to untie her pants for a moment, her face was held up by one hand, and she suddenly felt that her legs were weak, and she sat down uncontrollably, her face was still held in the palm of her hand, and the owner of the hand watched her inch by inch, from face to neck and down, and finally back to face.

Fu Yan's drunkenness came up a little, and his thoughts were released, in fact, when Tuo Poli asked for her, he was shaken, but only for a moment.

Because he found that he was reluctant.

Therefore, he must put his mark on himself thoroughly, and no one can covet it.
