Fu Yunqi and the prince walked here together, both smiling.
His eyebrows hid a galaxy of stars, like the clouds and moon in the mountains. Even though he could see it every day when he opened his eyes, it still made Chu Miaoer's heart beat.
He was tall and tall, and he came from the backlight. When he got a little closer, he saw a slight tenderness in his eyes.
"Auntie Huang."
It wasn't until Fu Lilian made a sound that Chu Miaoer came back to his senses.
"Your Highness," Xu Ning turned to him and said with a smile, "didn't you just say you had something to tell me? Let's go first."
Seeing the smile in her eyes, Fu Lilian suddenly realized and followed Xu Ning's intention and took the first step.
Recently, Chu Miaoer became sleepy more and more easily, and fell asleep soon after riding in the carriage. When she woke up, she realized after some reaction that she was half lying on Fu Yunqi's lap.
No wonder a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, making her sleep so soundly.
"Are you awake?" Fu Yunqi was taking a nap. After noticing the movement, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yes." Chu Miaoer raised his head and looked out. It seemed that it would be a while before he arrived, so he carefully propped himself up and sat up.
As soon as Fu Yunqi opened his eyes, the cold feeling on his body disappeared. Maybe it was because he was born with charming eyes, or maybe it was because Fu Yunqi couldn't make a fierce look towards her.
"You have been worried since you went to Fengwei Palace today. Is it the Queen who is making things difficult for you?" Fu Yunchi hugged her soft body, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"No, I just ran to the palace all day, and suddenly I felt a little bored." Chu Miaoer leaned on him, nuzzled him like a cat, and exhaled comfortably.
"If you don't want to go to the palace, I'll help you find a reason not to go." Fu Yunchi took her hand, put it in his palm, and squeezed it.
"That's easy to say," Chu Miao'er snorted, "then don't you go to the palace every day and never get a moment's leisure?"
In fact, these words were just a joke between the two of them. Everyone knows that the emperor's orders are hard to disobey. In the palace, no one does things based on the expressions of their superiors. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives without knowing it, so what?
Dare to disobey Yi's decree.
Chu Miaoer reached out and lifted up a corner of the bamboo curtain, leaned against Fu Yunchi and looked out.
The bustling streets are crowded with people, laughter and laughter are lingering in the ears. Vendors are soliciting customers with smiles on their faces, talking loudly, and the noises come and go, making it bustling.
Although the fireworks in the market are not as good as the delicacies in the palace, wherever you look, everyone's face is filled with a satisfied smile. This is the life that some people despise, but pursue all their lives.
"Yesterday I saw Chu Xianxue being made things difficult by her mother, and today I saw her being made things difficult by Al Yunduo. The Emperor's thoughts are now on Al Yunduo. I didn't expect that she had been busy for so long, but it was all in vain."
Chu Miaoer sighed softly and said, "What good things do you think there is in the palace? Is it worth her giving up everyone?"
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her face, as calm as the breeze, showed unexplainable doubts that could not be concealed, as if she was deep in distant thoughts.
There was a faint vibration in the chest behind him, which brought back Chu Miao'er's consciousness. She looked up at him with a smile on his face and asked seriously: "Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?"
"Yes -" Fu Yunqi pressed her to his chest again, chuckled and continued, "You see clearly, if everyone thinks like you, how can there be anyone in the world fighting for power and blood?
.”
Chu Miaoer hummed softly and leaned lazily on his chest, not wanting to speak.
"Women from other families are always thinking about how to compete for favor, and they are thinking about getting their husbands on the official career and reaching the sky. As the daughter of the prime minister, you are so indifferent to fame and profit. You are afraid that you will get into trouble in the harem, and you are afraid that I will be lost in the officialdom.
," Fu Yunqi said with a smile, "You are really too virtuous."
"Huh, what's so good about that? Now you and I have no worries about food and clothing, we have money, and no one bothers us. What's so bad about it? If you lose your true heart for those fame and fortune, it's not worth losing your life.
"Yes." Chu Miaoer retorted softly.
"Probably because you stay in Xiling all year round, so you can't see these ugly faces," Fu Yunqi frowned and said after thinking, "But you were not favored in the Chu Mansion in the past, and you were also favored by those aunts and cousins in Xiling
You should not develop such a weak temper."
Seeing that she was silent and attentive, Fu Yunqi thought that he had made her unhappy by mentioning her sadness, so he whispered in her ear: "Let's go back to Tangling in the next two days."
"Why so sudden?" She stood up suddenly from Fu Yunqi's arms and looked at his expression carefully. It didn't look like he was joking.
"Calculate the time, we will set off the day after tomorrow, stay in Xiling for a while and then return to Kyoto, just in time to catch up with the evening of the moon," Fu Yunchi paused for a while before saying, "I have actually been thinking about taking you out for a while to relax.
, so as not to be bored by staying in this palace-walled compound all day long, I would just like to take this opportunity to burn incense sticks for your mother and grandmother."
Chu Miaoer nodded, feeling a little hesitant in his heart, but still agreed: "Then I will go to the Second Prince's house tomorrow to say goodbye to Sister Huyin."
How should she face this time when she saw him again when she returned to Dongling? She leaned on Fu Yunqi's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt a little lost.
When I heard that I was going back to Tangling, I was most happy about the white peach. I had been busy since I got up early in the morning. I asked if this dress would be too festive, and if the hairpin would be too festive.
It was so plain that Chu Miaoer could only hold her forehead and sigh.
"Princess, look at the color of this flowing dress," Baitao raised her chin proudly, "You will definitely be the most gorgeous in this dress and make that cousin mad to death!"
"Baitao——" Chu Miaoer couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted her.
"If she hadn't pushed you into the pond, why would you have suffered all these crimes? For such a cruel and vicious person, you must make her look good this time when you go back!" Baitao said fiercely.
"Baitao!——" Chu Miaoer spoke again.
Seeing her aggrieved and bowing her head, she felt that she had spoken too harshly, but at least she had good intentions.
"Let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion first. Meng Han has been waiting outside for a long time."
At this time, Baitao turned back to look. Sure enough, there was someone standing outside the door. He saw Menghan smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows. He didn't know how long he had been looking outside the door. Baitao felt that he had lost all face, and immediately covered it with his sleeves.
Face.
Chu Miao'er smiled and shook her head. This girl has not changed at all in all these years. She used to just cry when she was in Dongling. Now that she is more energetic, she can still only pay lip service. If she is allowed to do it in person.
She would definitely not dare to contradict anyone.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion and the Second Prince's Mansion were located to the east and west. From the moment Baitao got on the sedan chair, she was silent, like an angry little baby.
As soon as she opened the curtain, Hu Yin appeared in front of her, smiling heartily.
"Sister Huyin, why did you come out?" Chu Miaoer called in surprise and quickly got down from the sedan.
Hu Yin glanced behind her and asked with a smile: "The Fourth Prince didn't come with you today?"
"I decided to go on a long trip at the last minute. He still has some things in his hands that he hasn't settled yet, and he hasn't told the emperor and his mother yet." Chu Miao'er sighed, "I entered the palace before dawn today. Maybe I won't be back until dinner time."
of."
"Why is it that the fourth prince is still so interested in you?" Hu Yin took her and turned to walk towards the mansion, smiling and saying, "I heard that he wants to accompany you to Dongling to pay homage to your mother?"
She and Hu Yin walked slowly in the corridor. The summer was too hot, and the strong fragrance of Yueyue Xiang in the Second Prince's Mansion seemed to become a bit dull.
"Yes, I should stay longer, so I came to see my sister before I leave." Chu Miao'er glanced at her casually and said, "Sister Huyin, haven't you made any plans yet?"
Hearing this, Huyin just thought about it for a moment, but did not answer. She walked through the path, reached the small courtyard, and only stopped when she entered her inner room.
"Baitao, please stay outside the house." Hu Yin said softly, and the door closed quietly.
There is no difference between this room and the last time I came here, except...
"Sister Huyin," Chu Miaoer picked up the jade belt left beside the soft couch and asked with surprise on her face, "What is this?"
Huyin smiled softly, stepped forward and took it from Chu Miao'er's hand, put it aside and then slowly said: "The prince left it when he left in the morning."
"You?!" Chu Miao'er covered her mouth, surprised and happy, "Then the Second Prince must be extremely happy, maybe the imperial decree for today's canonization will arrive soon!"
Hu Yin shook his head, his eyes moved from the jade belt to her face, and said: "I asked the prince not to rush to the emperor to ask for the canonization."
"Why? How could the Second Prince not be anxious when he finally waits for the day when you are willing to bear children for him? He probably wants everyone in the world to know about it!" Chu Miaoer said excitedly.
"Miao'er, don't get excited yet," Huyin pulled her, "I haven't told you yet."
Only then did Chu Miaoer realize that she seemed to be too excited, but she couldn't help it. She was so happy that Huyin finally had a home and an identity, and could walk with the second prince in an upright and fair way, but Huyin
The next sentence made her heart drop to the bottom.
Hu Yin stood up, walked slowly to the soft couch, and seemed to have had enough courage before speaking.
"Back then, my father was wronged and I was caught in the rain for two days and two nights at the gate of the prefect's mansion. Since then, the root of my disease has taken hold. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to get pregnant in the future. If the emperor's decree comes down and makes me a concubine,
, and when the time comes, there will be nothing left to do, and the Queen Mother will only dislike me even more." Hu Yin said softly, with a faint sigh in his mouth.
"So you have always been unwilling to enter the palace?" Chu Miao'er was shocked, "Does the Second Prince know?"
Hu Yin shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "You also know what the Queen Mother means. Besides, the Second Princess is very kind to me. She is also a miserable person. If I only care about myself, I will really become an unkind and unjust person.
.”
She has considered everything carefully, but looking forward and backward may not necessarily be a good thing.
"Don't worry too much. It's not easy for you and the Second Prince to have been together for so many years. Now the Second Prince has got what he wanted. The moon waxes and wanes, and you don't have to have a son and a daughter to be successful.
It's considered complete." Chu Miao'er saw that she was sad and quickly changed her words to comfort her.
