Chapter 35 Returning to the Mountain at Sunset (3)
Chu Miaoer Yingying walked to him and sat down. She saw his pair of peach blossom eyes filled with affection. Suddenly, all the eight delicacies on the table had lost their taste. This person in front of her was "beautiful and delicious".
After watching the show for a day, Chu Miao'er was so hungry that she felt dizzy, her eyes were lifeless, and she asked feebly: "Fu Yunqi, what are you laughing at?"
"I," Fu Yunqi picked up his chopsticks carefully, "I just feel that Mr. Chu will have to be careful and cautious in the future, whether in or out of the court, and I feel a little relieved."
Looking at the round and rosy braised lion head in the bowl, Chu Miaoer smiled and looked at him: "After all, I am also named Chu. If the Chu family fails, won't I also be unlucky?"
"That's different -" Fu Yunchi replied without hesitation.
Hearing this, Chu Miaoer raised her eyebrows, looked at him quietly, and said with a smile: "What's the difference? Although I have no relationship with the Chu family, I am still the second young lady of the Chu family in name only. If something happens to the Chu family
, will definitely be implicated.”
"The Chu family has gone through three dynasties, and the forces in the dynasty are deeply entangled. They will never be shaken easily just because of Chu Xianxue. Moreover, Mr. Chu has always been very thoughtful. It is not difficult for him to guess the Holy Heart. If anything, it is difficult.
, it should be with Chu Xianxue," Fu Yunqi stopped talking. He believed that he could guess these things and could think of them with his Miao Miao acumen. He looked at Chu Miao'er and said seriously, "No matter what, I will never let you
Something happened."
Chu Miaoer smiled faintly and was noncommittal.
What he said was right. Now that Chu Xianxue has taken the position of imperial concubine, her honor and favor status is second only to that of the queen. Since the matter is irreversible, Prime Minister Chu will definitely curb his sharpness and act in a low-key manner, and the relationship between the emperor and Chu Miao'er
Emotions are inherently unfair. I'm afraid Chu Xianxue doesn't even know what she has done now. If the matter between her and the prince is used to make a fuss by someone who is interested, the emperor is too fresh and energetic to turn a blind eye.
I'm sure I'll get tired of it one day, and it will be the Chu family that suffers.
"Second brother went on a long trip again today, and Miss Huyin went with him."
"What?" Chu Miaoer sat up in surprise, frowning as if frustrated, "Sister Huyin left just as she said she would, and she didn't even say a word to me in advance."
It was rare to see her looking so charming and innocent, so Fu Yunqi couldn't help but joked: "Second brother Xianyun Yehe is used to it, and he never stays in Kyoto for long. Miss Huyin came to the house to look for you twice today, but I didn't see you. I left."
The disappointment on your face makes me unable to bear it. Who told you to run into the sky at both ends of the day?"
Chu Miaoer lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing that she was not moving her chopsticks and had no appetite, Fu Yunqi laughed and said, "It's not like I can't see you anymore. Is that so sad? But I have a good thing to tell you."
I saw Fu Yunqi mysteriously taking out a letter from behind his back, with the five characters "personally addressed by the Fourth Prince" written on it.
Chu Miaoer raised her eyelids and said lazily: "Your letter?"
"Although it's my letter, it's for you."
Seeing him chewing his meal carefully, Chu Miaoer opened the envelope full of doubts. His handwriting was strong and horizontal, and at the end he wrote the three words "Yang Jinxi" in a cool and unrestrained way.
Their personalities are almost the same. In just a few sentences in the letter, she said that she would come to Kyoto next month to talk to them, and asked them to prepare first and treat her with sincerity so as not to neglect her.
"Miss Yang San's temperament is really endearing. It's hard to dislike being so rude." Chu Miaoer chuckled and shook her head, closed the letter and put it away carefully.
In April, there is summer, and in June, there is heat.
It was already bright when Chu Miaoer opened his eyes. It stands to reason that Fu Yunqi has no official position and does not need to go to court. Yesterday, I heard him talk about the envoys from Dongjue who were coming to Kyoto for an audience. They were already on their way there. All the ministries in the DPRK
It is being carefully prepared, so he will come to the palace every day to discuss this matter in the near future.
Baitao, who was waiting outside, heard the commotion, and immediately went inside and opened the window. The warm sunlight filtered through the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground was covered with sparkling light spots the size of copper coins. Unconsciously, it had entered.
"Princess, you have lost a lot of weight in the past few days since you returned to Kyoto. The servants feel distressed to see you. Thank God, things have finally calmed down in the palace." Baitao meticulously did her makeup and hair for her, with a sad look on her face.
"It just stopped temporarily," Chu Miao'er looked at Bai Tao's big eyes in the bronze mirror and stared slightly, fearing that she would ask further, Chu Miaoer quickly answered, "How is that girl Qingqiu?"
Speaking of Qingqiu, Baitao immediately frowned.
"That girl can't do it?"
"No, no," Baitao quickly waved her hands to deny, "Qingqiu is well-behaved and diligent, but the one in Lanyuan refuses to be served by a maid. She says she is used to it."
Baitao didn't know the relationship between Wan Niang and Fu Yunqi. She just thought that Wan Niang was the woman Fu Yunqi loved deeply, as the outside world said, but she had no identity, so her attitude was not good and her words were not pleasant.
"Let's go over there after cleaning up," Chu Miao'er stood up and brushed the leaves that had been blown in by the wind and fell on her body, and reminded her softly, "She is also your master in name, so you have to be careful in the house to avoid being in trouble.
The outsiders couldn't keep their mouth shut, and they laughed at her, saying that the Fourth Princess's girl was undisciplined."
Hearing this, Baitao nodded obediently and responded in a low voice: "Yes, Princess, Baitao knows."
Early summer has arrived, and when I go somewhere, I hear frogs croaking, and the clear sun shines on the lake, which is green and clear. After returning from Xiling, Fu Yunqi also ordered people to build a small lake in his mansion, and also built a Yunwu Villa in the lake.
The exact same small pavilion, which I had no time to take care of a few days ago when I was so busy, now looks like it is even more exquisite and quiet than the one in Yunwu Villa.
"The prince of this small lake is keeping an eye on the little lake every day, for fear that something will happen," Baitao said with a smile, looking at the small green-lined lake in front of him, "The prince treats the princess very well,"
Hearing her envious tone, Chu Miaoer couldn't help but joked: "Isn't Tingfeng treating you badly?"
"Princess!" Baitao was shy and anxious, biting her lips and stamping her feet, "Tingfeng and I have nothing to do, Princess, don't talk nonsense!"
Chu Miaoer refused to argue, shook her head and smiled without answering.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Baitao's feelings for Tingfeng have been discussed privately with Fu Yunchi. If the two of them really have feelings for each other, it will come true for them. It's a pity that Baitao is a girl with a hard mouth and a soft heart, and Tingfeng is an idiot.
I'm afraid it will take a little more effort.
Some magnolia petals were scattered on the gravel path. The gentle breeze brought a burst of fragrance. As I walked along this fragrant path, I saw magnolias all over the courtyard sticking out of the wall. I didn't expect that the orchid courtyard would be so winding.
hidden.
Baitao knocked lightly on the door and reluctantly called out: "Miss Wan, the princess is here to see you."
After a slight sound, the door latch made a slight noise, as if it was being pulled by someone. The door opened from the inside, and what came into view was a face dripping with sweat. Baitao let out a shocked cry and quickly backed away.
However, Chu Miaoer's eyes lit up, and she saw Wan Niang wearing a dark black dress, holding a sword in her hand, her hair tied high on her head, her chest panting slightly, her eyes calm and without any timidity.
Seeing that she had not been polite for a long time, Baitao took a step forward and said angrily: "Why don't you be polite when you meet the princess? You, do you still understand the rules?"
Baitao was already prejudiced against her, but now that he saw her martial arts skills, he was even more afraid of her. He felt guilty in his heart, but he was not forgiving, which made Chu Miaoer chuckle.
Wan Niang didn't know what she was thinking, so she behaved like a man, put her hands forward, bent down and said, "Why does the princess want to see Wan Niang?"
"I have been here for several months, and I have wanted to see you for a long time, but trivial matters have always hindered me." Chu Miaoer smiled and pointed at the square box in Baitao's hand, and said softly, "I have free time today, so I want to invite you to taste the snacks I just made.
, okay?"
Hearing this, Wanniang looked down at the square box, a moment of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "Princess, please wait a moment, let Wanniang change her clothes."
You can see the entire courtyard at a glance. It is even a bit crude for the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but it is as tidy as new. There is only a pavilion in the front yard. There is a tea set on a wooden table next to the pavilion, and magnolias are planted around it. The courtyard has already been filled with
After smelling the fragrance, Wan Niang welcomed her into the courtyard and turned around to prepare her own things for purification.
Seeing that she was busy alone, her movements were clean and neat, and Chu Miao'er didn't see any signs of life. He sat in the pavilion and began to make tea. From time to time, magnolia flowers fell into the boiling tea, and it became a veritable flower tea.
"Princess, you have been waiting for a long time." A cold voice came.
Chu Miao'er was making tea seriously. She didn't even look up. She just stretched out her hand to signal her. After she sat down, she asked softly: "You also like to drink green tea?"
"No, the prince likes to drink, so he prepares it every day."
Only then did Chu Miaoer look up at her, and saw that she had half a pair of black hair hanging loosely on her shoulders. She had no hair accessories on her head. She was wearing a light green dress, no makeup, and her eyes were clear and bright.
He exuded a heroic spirit to the outside, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Your straightforward temperament is somewhat similar to that of a friend of mine, but I'm afraid you won't get the benefits in 'Chunyan Tower'."
Unexpectedly, Wan Niang was a straightforward person, and she said without thinking: "There are so many hypocritical and submissive people in the world, so there are people who appreciate me."
Seeing that Wan Niang's expression was normal, Chu Miao'er didn't know whether it was due to her personality or intentional.
"Yes, yes, yes -" Chu Miao'er handed her the freshly brewed hot tea, "Let's have a sip of tea first and see how the tea I brew is, Baitao -"
After receiving the order, Baitao took out the snacks from the box and arranged them delicately on the table.
The warm sun is in my body, the cool breeze is blowing on my face, and my heart is as calm as water.
"Don't you like the hairpin earrings I asked Qingqiu to give you last time?" Chu Miaoer asked, blowing the hot air from the tea cup.
Wan Niang shook her head lightly and looked at her seriously: "Wan Niang has no use for what the princess sent."
Following the direction of her finger, Chu Miaoer saw a delicate short knife lying quietly on a chair nearby. She stood up and walked over, holding it in her hand to look at it carefully.
A shuddering chill.
"This is a gift from the Fourth Prince." Chu Miaoer's tone was affirmative. It was clear that he was not asking her, but talking to her.
Wan Niang nodded without surprise. The two of them looked at each other in silence and had nothing to say for a moment. On the other hand, Chu Miaoer closed her sheath, sat down and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you know that you don't even ask me?"
"The prince said that if the princess wants to say something, she will definitely say it. If she doesn't say it, don't ask any more questions."
Wan Niang's answer surprised her. It turned out that Fu Yunqi had known that she would come to Wan Niang. Damn it, how did he know that he would come to Wan Niang.
"You listen to him so much?" Chu Miaoer raised an eyebrow and looked at her with interest.
