Incense Tree Day, also called the Festival of Flower Fragrance, is only the festival that only the country of Dayao has, at the beginning of August every year, on the mountain of 100 miles outside Jiyang City, the incense tree blooms, the faint fragrance, lingers in the air, does not disperse for a long time, the whole mountain range is this fragrance, and the mountain peak that grows the incense tree, it is called the Fragrant Mountain.

On the festival of flowers, all boys and girls will go to Xiangshan to pick fragrant flowers and make sachets.

There are special incense pavilion sites and mountain pavilions on Xiangshan.

Xiangshan Temple is on the other half of the mountainside, the temple pillars, the incense is very vigorous.

Early in the morning, Hua Lingyue went to the gate of the north city according to the appointment with Du Rongwei and Qi Mengying, and there were many carriages with her to the north city gate, each carriage with the government cards of each prefecture.

"Ahem, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was grounded, I didn't expect Sister Hua to be in the mood to pick fragrant tree flowers. ”

The soft coughing voice, you don't have to open the curtains to see, Hua Lingyue also knows who it is.

"Miss Luosan is weak, and her mood is not ordinarily good. ”

That night, she was angry with Du Mo, and it was cold, Hua Lingyue didn't want to deal with this sudden trouble, not to mention Qi Mengying's entry into the palace, she should also show something.

"Hua Lingyue, you, cough cough..."

If it is blocked like this, the angry rain condenses and coughs several times.

"Bai Yao, speed up. ”

Unwilling to talk to such a person, Hua Lingyue said lightly.

Bai Yao beat the horse, sped up his speed, staggered with the carriage of Luofu, squinted his eyes at the carriage far away from the back, cut with disdain, and the current stupid man fought wit, the master couldn't fight, another stupid fork.

The carriage drove out of the north city gate, and the carriage of the De'an palace had arrived, and the carriage had not yet arrived.

Du Rong slightly lifted the curtain and looked at the north city gate, and when he saw the carriage of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, he immediately got out of the car to greet him, and Bai Yao stopped the carriage.

"Lingyue. "A call.

Hua Lingyue opened the curtains, and saw that it was only twilight, Qi Meng was not there, and her eyes flashed.

"Rongwei, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

He stepped out of the carriage with a light gauze hat, shook Twilight's hand with a soft smile, and looked left and right.

"Why don't you see Sister Qi, it seems that Yue'er is not the latest. ”

This sentence has a hint of coquettishness, which is a little different from her who was still calm a moment ago.

Twilight's face froze slightly.

Lingyue still doesn't know about the dream of entering the palace?

"Lingyue, Mengying had a cold yesterday and can't come today. ”

"Wind chill?"

Hua Lingyue let out a soft cry, although Du Rongwei's face was also covered by the hat, but the moment she reacted just now, Hua Lingyue still noticed it, her eyes moved slightly, and there was a sense of worry on her face, completely with an expression that she didn't know about Qi Meng's entry into the palace.

"Rongwei, Sister Qi is fine, how could she get a wind chill?"

The worries on his face became more and more apparent.

This kind of flower Lingyue can see that Du Rongwei's heart is even more complicated.

Twilight Rongwei and Hua Lingyue have known each other for ten years, although the two have not had a deep friendship before, but since visiting Hua Lingyue that day, Twilight Rongwei really regards Hua Lingyue as a friend, but Twilight Rongwei and Qi Mengying are close friends in the boudoir, this palm and the back of the hand are all meat, which one is injured, she doesn't want to see.

"Lingyue, let me tell you something, you can join me in the carriage!"

After thinking about it in her heart, Du Rongwei still planned to tell Hua Lingyue about Qi Mengying, and pulled Hua Lingyue to the carriage of the De'an Palace.

Hua Lingyue's heart moved slightly, and she waved her hand so that Bai Yao didn't have to follow, and only brought Xingluo.

There were stars, Bai Yao was also relieved, and then turned his horse back.

went up to the carriage of the De'an Palace, and the coachman drove the car to Xiangshan.

Twilight Rong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Hua Lingyue, and after sorting out her thoughts for a moment, she spoke: "Lingyue, if, I mean if, if the third cousin has a woman next to him, will you accept it?"

With such a question, Hua Lingyue put down the teacup and looked puzzled.

"Rong Wei, why do you ask like this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, and there are other women beside him, this is an inevitable thing, it has nothing to do with whether I accept it or not, and it is not something I can decide. ”

Hua Lingyue didn't seem to care at all about Du Rongwei's question, and she didn't understand the meaning of her words.

Twilight Rongwei became more and more complicated, and pulled Hua Lingyue's hand and shook it.

"Then if I say that the woman next to the third cousin is Mengying, she is likely to become the concubine of the third cousin, not Liangdi, nor the side concubine, but Concubine Ping, together with you, the concubine of the east and west palaces, do you accept it?"

Hua Lingyue's hand trembled slightly, and Twilight felt it slightly.

"Rong Wei, if you want to tell me that Sister Qi entered the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures for the queen's mother, I know this, just copying Buddhist scriptures, it doesn't mean anything, even if it represents, it's not something that I can ask a lady from the household Shangshu Mansion, and I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince, he will not fail me. ”

Speaking of Twilight Moran, a smile appeared on his face, a sweet smile.

Twilight looked at it slightly, and her heart became more complicated.

"Lingyue, your trust in the third cousin is indeed worthwhile, the reason why Mengying got the wind and cold is because the queen sent her to send Buddhist scriptures to the third cousin, but she was humiliated by the third cousin in turn..."

"What, humiliation?" Hua Lingyue was stunned, but this time it was not a disguise, but a real shock, she only knew that Qi Mengying was called into the palace by the queen to copy Buddhist scriptures, but she didn't know that such a thing would happen later.

Du Rong slightly looked worried, "That evening, the third cousin spoke, Mengying was already thin-faced, and was humiliated by the third cousin like that, and he got a cold at night, and the imperial aunt sent her personal grandmother to Zaifu Mansion to personally pass the word, and Mengying took care of herself in the palace, although she didn't say it explicitly, but I can guess a few points." ”

Hua Lingyue's surprise, with these words, turned into a fainter and fainter quiet, Du Rongwei finished speaking, she withdrew the hand that was being held, and looked at Du Rongwei.

"Rong Wei told me this, but do you want me to accept to serve with Sister Qi? If so, then Rong Wei doesn't need to say more, because I can't be the lord of His Royal Highness the Prince, let alone do it,

If Sister Qi marries His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accepts, I have nothing to say, but if Sister Qi asks Rong Wei to come to my side to persuade me, then I'm sorry, I don't accept it, I don't accept that I will take a concubine for my future husband, or raise a wife. ”

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, driving through the official road up the mountain, rolling over the stones on the road, and the body jolted, breaking the silence.

Du Rong looked at Hua Lingyue slightly, and sighed slightly: "Lingyue, yesterday I went to Fengyi Hall to visit Mengying, she asked me to bring a message to you, she said that you will definitely know about her entering the palace to copy Buddhist scriptures for the imperial aunt, she asked me to inform you that she never thought of fighting with you, she just wanted to stay by the side of the third cousin, and there was nothing else to ask for." ”

In this way, Hua Lingyue shook her eyes slightly, there is nothing else to ask for, heh! The human heart is never satisfied, and when you get what you want, you will crave more, more, Qi Mengying was humiliated by Brother Mo, she can still say such things, how can this kind of person be satisfied with just staying by Brother Mo's side?

"Lingyue, I told you these words, not to help Mengying persuade you, Mengying is my close friend, yes, but you are also my friend, you didn't want to have a relationship with us as a high-ranking concubine, I know your difficulties, now you are willing to have a relationship with us, then I will treat you like Mengying. ”

These words, the true feelings, Du Rongwei shook Hua Lingyue's hand again, but Hua Lingyue's heart did not have a trace of throbbing, using her to see the Nine Princes, is this treating each other sincerely? Or is it that Qi Mengying is also treated with such sincerity?

"Rongwei, let's not talk about this. The corners of her lips were hooked shallowly, the most beautiful disguise, "The matter between me and Sister Qi has never depended on us, but His Royal Highness the Prince, I will not annoy Sister Qi because of Sister Qi's entry into the palace, because I know that as a woman, I never want to marry." ”

Reluctant to talk about this topic with Twilight, he picked up a piece of pastry on the table.

"Rongwei, your pastry looks exquisite, and it must taste sweet. ”

A small bite, soft and glutinous and sweet, the royal refreshments are always the best.

Twilight Rongwei knew that Hua Lingyue didn't want to talk to her about what was in her heart, so she didn't say anything more, and also picked up a piece.

"If Lingyue likes it, I'll ask Fuzhong to make something for you when I go back. ”

"Good. ”
