"Crown princess, concubine asks to see." There is a palace maid to pass it on.

Chen Xueying was touching the cards, and when she heard this, she immediately frowned.

"What did she do when she came to me? Is it possible to fight? She was slightly distressed and waved her hand.

"Please sit in the outer hall and wait for the palace to finish this game."

When Chen Xueying came out, the concubine was already sitting in the outer hall waiting, and the tea had already reached the second cup.

"I've seen the crown princess." When the concubine saw her come out, she immediately got up and saluted.

Chen Xueying replied with a half-salute, and the two sat down, and after a few words of greeting, they got to the point.

"The crown princess, the concubine came this time because she had something to ask for."

"What?" Chen Xueying asked nonchalantly.

She knew that she and this concubine were definitely not friendly before, and even because Lu Zhao beat her son like a dog, she already hated it in her heart, but now she came to ask for a meeting, and she was even willing to wait for so long, and her attitude was still very good, which showed that she had something important to ask for.

"That's the case, the prince has also reached the age when he should say goodbye. The concubine has always wanted to give him Zhang Luo, so she just took advantage of the summer trip to call a group of girls over and let him take a look to see if there are any eye-catchers. But he kept saying that he was a cripple, because of his leg disease, he was extremely inferior, and he didn't cooperate at all, even if he was forced by his concubines to come over to see him, he said that he was all a good girl, and he didn't deserve it at all! ”

The concubine sighed as she spoke, and even her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Chen Xueying couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, the prince still has low self-esteem? He is clearly a green tea, so he is inferior.

Even in front of her sister-in-law, she has been selling miserably, let alone in front of her mother-in-law.

Obviously, since his legs were disabled, the prince had learned to take advantage of this weakness to sell miserably.

"Concubine, the prince doesn't like to talk on weekdays, and the atmosphere of the Northern Qi Dynasty makes even the queen unable to enter from the main gate of the palace, and she always looks down on women. What he said should be all pretexts, I'm afraid it's those good girls, he can't look down on any of them. Chen Xueying's words were quite unkind, and she directly choked the concubine.

Originally, he took out the Jinpa, and he had already begun to wipe his tears, which was also a pause.

"The crown princess, the concubine knew that she had been a little unhappy before, but Qingming didn't like to talk, she was by no means arrogant, she just felt that her legs were disabled, and she felt that no one took him seriously, and no one listened to him even if she said it. Why did you cause such a misunderstanding? He is actually a child with a gentle personality, and he doesn't feel that those girls are not worthy of him, he is just afraid that which girl he chooses will delay the rest of others' lives in the future. ”

The concubine's tone was excited, but her attitude was not bad, and she did not fight against each other, but explained seriously.

Chen Xueying took a sip of tea and reached out to stop her excited explanation.

"Concubine, there is no need to be so excited. I'm just his eldest sister-in-law, and I haven't had much contact with him, so my impression of him doesn't matter at all. Why are you here? He doesn't look at other girls, and this palace can't do it. ”

The person who will live the second half of her life with the prince in the future is not her, so what she thinks of Lu Qingming is completely irrelevant.

The two of them didn't communicate much, of course, except for the two times when the prince sold tea to her, it was also interpreted by Ye Jing as seducing her.

But looking at this kind of thing with people, even the concubine, the mother-in-law, has no choice, what is the use of asking to come to her.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to look at each other, but he's just embarrassed. After all, the concubine is an elder, leading a group of little girls to meet him, and he can't say a few words, he can only show up in a hurry and leave, which makes everyone feel awkward. I just thought that the crown princess would take the lead, take a group of little girls to play, and then let him lead a group of young people, whether it was to meet friends with literature, fight poems and taste tea, or throw pots, it was not interesting, the most important thing is that a group of people played very generously, and they could better see each other's personalities. ”

The concubine has obviously been calculating in her heart for a long time, but now she can't stand it anymore as soon as she speaks, and she talks endlessly.

"And after all, it's going to get married, not to make enemies, and Qingming's body is indeed a big problem. It's not enough to just let him look at others, and others have to look at him too, so organize a party like this, and when the time comes, whether the two of them look at each other or not, will understand better, and let the other girls look at Qingming's temperament, and only after a little understanding can they talk. ”

Chen Xueying chuckled lightly and said in a brisk tone: "The concubine is really a mother's heart." Nowadays, it is the words of the parents who order the matchmaker, and it is really rare to let each other look at each other like you. ”

When the concubine heard her say this, she suddenly had a bottom and felt that she was praising herself sincerely.

"Then the crown princess agreed?" The concubine's tone was rather eager.

"No, this palace refuses, this palace has not encountered such a good thing, before coming to Northern Qi and kissing, I have never seen the prince, why can others have such a good life." Chen Xueying's words are authentic.

"Of course, this palace is not the kind of person who is quite unreasonable, concubine, your party sounds good, you can invite another Gao Ming to hold it, anyway, this palace will not do it."

Her words directly confused the concubine.

The crown princess's refusal was inevitably too straightforward, so she didn't know how to deal with it at all.

"Crown Princess, are you because of what happened before? The concubine solemnly apologizes to you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but this matter is related to the prince's life, and please-" After the concubine came back to her senses, she immediately pleaded, and even apologized sincerely.

Chen Xueying raised her hand directly and interrupted her apology.

"Concubine, there is no need to say more. On this hot day, the palace came here to escape the heat, and you can play well in your own palace, so you don't need to toss these things, and you can get irritated in vain, so please go back. ”

After that, no matter how the concubine persuaded her, Chen Xueying did not agree, and even when she refused, her words became colder and colder every time.

In the end, the concubine couldn't resist it and had to leave.

"What are you going to do, concubine? I actually asked you to help organize this party, what a big face. ”

After the palace people in the palace were also sent away, Ye Jing couldn't help but complain, she couldn't figure out why the concubine was so confident and dared to ask Chen Xueying to do such a thankless thing.

"Who knows, maybe the prince is old, and she can't sit still. Or maybe she had some crooked thoughts and wanted me to get involved in it before it could be carried out, but no matter what it was for, I couldn't agree to her, and she couldn't sing this scene. "Chen Xueying doesn't care about authenticity.

Her original plan was good, but the plan couldn't keep up with the rapid change.

On the second day, she actually received an order from Lu Wuji, asking her to lead a group of people to play.

"Your Majesty said that the crown princess came from Dayan, and she must be very familiar with the summer vacation, and please take these young people to play together, so as not to stick to them. Coming out to escape the heat is to relax, but you can't let them be restrained. "Qin You'an's personal message was a compliment as soon as he came over.

It's just that the meaning revealed later makes people not so happy.

"Chief Manager Qin, what is this saying, I have stayed well in the palace, and I don't have enough time to get along with His Royal Highness the Prince, so why do I give this palace a task of taking care of children. Isn't that even more time to meet? Your Majesty has a beautiful woman by his side, why should he let the palace be separated from His Royal Highness's husband and wife? ”

As soon as Chen Xueying heard this, she instantly understood, I am afraid that this was begged by the concubine in front of the emperor, she was really unwilling, and couldn't help complaining.

Qin Youan guessed that she would be dissatisfied, but she never expected that she would use this excuse to open the way.

"You are both in the same palace, and you should see each other every day." Qin Youan opened his mouth puzzled.

We all see each other every day, how can we not have time to meet?

Chen Xueying immediately pursed her lips, and a dissatisfied expression appeared on her face: "Although it is in the same palace, he is busy with government affairs during the day, and he is entangled in everything. Obviously he came to escape the summer, and everyone else could play leisurely, but he had more things to do, and stayed in the side hall for several days in a row, and every time he opened his eyes in the palace, he had already left, and he had not returned to the palace after dark. ”

"This-" Qin Youan hesitated for a moment and said, "Did you two have some misunderstanding?" ”

He felt that this matter was serious, and he went to sleep in the side hall, proving that it was a discord between husband and wife, and it had nothing to do with other people, so he didn't want to rely on this matter.

"Our husband and wife are affectionate, what misunderstanding can be born, it is possible to give birth to a child. However, because he is getting busier and busier, there are not many opportunities to meet, and now I have to be busy all day long, which is to make the two of us the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Chen Xueying complained dissatisfiedly, and looked at him quite sadly.

Immediately, Qin Youan felt a chill in his heart, he coughed lightly, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly said goodbye.

Of course, the latter words reached the ears of the emperor, and the crown princess was so dissatisfied, obviously wanting him and Lu Wuji to give advice.

Lu Wuji was playing chess with Jia Zhaoyi at the time, and when he heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and his face showed a little dissatisfaction.

"It's her honor for me to let her do things, why are you still picking around?"

Jia Zhaoyi chuckled, immediately held his hand and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the crown princess is not picking four, but she has a good relationship with the prince and his wife. You arranged for her to do something, and simply gave the prince two days off so that they could be reunited. ”

Lu Wuji, who was still complaining, immediately accepted it as soon as he heard this, and asked Qin Youan to appease Chen Xueying.

I have to say that the power of the pillow wind should not be underestimated.

"In, in! It's amazing! A cheerful voice rang out.

Chen Xueying sat on a chair with a cup of tea in her hand, and watched a group of little girls gather together, one holding an arrow in her hand, waiting to throw a pot.

It was obviously a very simple activity, but this group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls got together and had a lot of fun.

Young man, the energy is so good.

As she was thinking this, a group of young men walked in, led by the prince who had been pushed in.

The people of Northern Qi are fierce, and the male and female defense is not as exaggerated as Dayan, and it is completely okay to play together.

The two sides just made a polite gesture, and the opposite side naturally joined the game.

Several burly young people quickly threw good results and won a full house.

The praise of the girls and the jealous eyes of the same sex around them made these young people feel unprecedented satisfaction, and the words gradually became intense, obviously to distinguish between winners and losers.

What was originally a funny game has gradually changed its taste.

Some of them are smart people who have already begun to look at each other.

Before they came, they had already been mentioned by the elders that the gathering held by the crown princess this time seemed to be for young people to play and frolic together, but in fact, it was for the prince to choose a wife.

Now this scene is completely unbearable, and the prince with inconvenient legs and feet has been squeezed directly to the corner and has become a general existence in the background, but the few young people who have made up the numbers have become the focus of everyone, you throw an arrow, I will throw one, and each arrow is thrown directly into the center, winning bursts of cheers, so lively.

Someone looked at the crown princess and wanted to ask for help.

After all, the host of this party is nominally her.

But she seemed to know the inside story, and it was clear that the scene at the moment had deviated from the original purpose, but she was still indifferent, and even asked people to prepare new snacks.

"Crown princess, there are too many people throwing pots, they really can't play with it, and the courtiers are not good at throwing pots. Today's weather is quite cool, the princess here is really delicious and fun, so that the courtiers opened their eyes, the courtiers are itchy for a while, want to write a poem, I don't know where there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone? ”

Finally, someone couldn't sit still, and immediately raised his voice and said.

Chen Xueying looked over and saw a woman with a clear temperament, she was the daughter of a university scholar, Zhao Susu, and one of the candidates for the future daughter-in-law of the concubine.

Obviously, this woman is quick and wise, and she is generous, and she took the initiative to ask, but she praised Chen Xueying again, saying that she was writing poetry, and she obviously wanted to praise the princess.

Chen Xueying blinked, did not refuse her, and directly asked people to lead her over.

"Well, the pergola over there has already been prepared, and anyone who wants to recite poetry can go there. It's enough for you to have a meeting. Chen Xueying pointed her finger.

It is said that the pergola is actually made of cultivated grape trellises, and the green leaves and grapes hanging all over the shelves are quite interesting.

The place inside is large, there is also shade, the tables, chairs, melons and fruits are all arranged, and there is an ice basin in the middle, which makes it feel cool when you look at it.

Moreover, the pergola and the place where the pot is cast are separated by a lotus pond, which not only has a good scenery, but also has a good sound insulation effect.

Zhao Susu immediately saluted and thanked him, invited the girl he knew, and then asked the men if they wanted to go to the meeting.

Many people responded, after all, the pitcher here is under the nose of the crown princess, and that side is obviously more open.

It is said that it is a literary meeting, in fact, it is better to make friends with literature, if there is a girl who has a good eye, maybe you can write a love poem or two, and show off your literary talent.

Soon, half of the people who had been crowded were gone, and many people were also tired of the crowd and wanted to go to the more spacious pergola.

Zhao Susu, who was surrounded by people and walked forward, didn't feel very happy, she kept scanning with her spare eyes, but she didn't see the person she wanted to see for a long time.

Lu Qingming sat in a wheelchair and never moved, so many people went to the pergola, he naturally saw it, but he was still indifferent, obviously not interested in Wenhui at all.

"Hey, didn't the prince come over?"

Fortunately, she was not the only one who thought so, and she also asked at this moment, and everyone reacted and asked people to invite him. ：，，
