Xiangxue Garden is a courtyard built around Xingqingfang Xingchi and used as a garden for the royal family and nobles to play.
Inside, there are white plum blossoms full of proud snow. When the white plum blossoms are in full bloom, from a distance, the snow is white, as if the branches are covered with snow. It is really endearing and often makes people stop.
Because the white plum blossoms resemble snow and are fragrant, Li Shimin changed the original dry plum garden into the more elegant fragrant snow garden now.
When the white plum blossoms in Xiangxue Garden are in full bloom, arty people from all over the place rush to visit and stop there. They often have banquets, discuss poems, and sing and dance with silk and bamboo.
This year, didn't Li Shimin intentionally want Chang'an to be more festive, so in the past few days, he sent all the children of suitable marriage age from each family to Xiangxue Garden, allowing everyone to see each other freely, and then reported to their parents and elders
.
At a large-scale free blind date in Xiangxue Garden, Queen Changsun was going to meet with the wives of various mansions. The Crown Princess was responsible for entertaining the young ladies together with Shu'er. However, in the past two days, the Crown Princess had caught a cold due to the Wu family's affairs and was punished.
Due to the disguised form of confinement, the task of greeting the ladies from various mansions fell entirely on the eldest princess in the palace who had not yet left the palace, Princess Shuer of Gaoyang.
All married princesses also have things to do, so Shuer called her handkerchief friend and future sister-in-law Fang Qingniang to help her.
Qing Niang's appearance is not the most outstanding among the other ladies. To be fair, she can only be considered to be of average or above average status. Compared with the bright Shu'er, the energetic Li Xueyan and other girls from the clan, she is considered inferior.
One end.
If no one can instigate her, not many people will notice Qing Niang.
Moreover, next to the bright Shu'er, the Qing Niang in an elegant skirt simply had a jasper jade stick inserted into her head. If she wasn't an acquaintance, she might have mistaken the Qing Niang for Shu'er's capable maid.
It happened to be a coincidence that Jin Wang Li Zhi, who was supposed to be responsible for receiving and looking after the young princes of various provinces, got caught up in something. Shuer was pestered by Li Xueyan, who was about the same age, and took most of them to the West Pavilion in Xiangxue Garden.
I asked most of the girls to compete in piano skills.
Therefore, the few girls in the garden who felt they were not good at playing the piano and did not want to join in the fun, accompanied by Qing Niang, leisurely enjoyed the scenery in the white plum forest and chatted about clothes, jewelry, and flowers.
In the chaotic Merlin, several little girls met a group of boring young men.
As the saying goes, when picking persimmons, you have to pick the weak ones, and when you bully others, you also have to bully those who look inferior to you. Therefore, among a group of girls with bright clothes and accessories, Fang Qingniang, who is dressed in elegant and simple clothes, is the one who wants her.
The young master who teases people is treated as a soft persimmon.
Indeed, this was an occasion, and she knew that it was for a blind date. For the sake of her own future happiness, the girl didn't show off her beauty. Instead, she put on her most expensive clothes and the most luxurious jewelry in order to win a rich husband and secure her future.
A lifetime of glory and wealth.
Qing Niang's appearance and appearance were thought by several young men to be those girls from small families with low official rank who wanted to curry favor with a wealthy family and could be bullied by others.
The girls accompanying Qingniang were all young ladies from the royal family who had just arrived in Chang'an or the daughters of the governor's office who had come to Beijing to report on their duties. They did not have Fang Qingniang's previous acquaintances in the capital, and did not know much about Fang Qingniang's family affairs.
Moreover, people who look at Qing Niang's clothes and don't know the material will naturally think that Qing Niang is of low origin and disdain to get close to Qing Niang, and only treat Qing Niang as a maid.
The few people who knew the material saw the simple ornaments on Qing Niang's head and body, and felt that Qing Niang was... not favored at home, so they kindly did not ask Qing Niang about her family background, for fear of offending Qing Niang's role.
thing.
Under this peaceful situation, Fang Qingniang was teased by the prince of the palace who thought she was a romantic and handsome man.
The two maids who followed Fang Qingniang were specially selected and trained by Fang Yiai by Shen Wencan. They were even given a death order by Fang Yiai, and Qingniang's safety must be the top priority in everything.
Just one word of truth is to break the truth. Fang Yiai can't deal with it, and his father Fang Xuanling is there!
Therefore, the other party's frivolous and teasing behavior was naturally blocked by the two conscientious maids beside Qing Niang.
Under the booing of a group of people behind him, the man couldn't lose face and vowed to tease Fang Qingniang.
In view of the fact that they did not have a close relationship with Fang Qingniang, not only did no one of the wealthy ladies nearby step forward to help Qingniang out, but they all retreated to a safe position with their maids, assuming the posture of watching a show.
Frowning, she glanced at the ladies watching the show next to her, and then at the young men surrounding her and her maid. Fang Qingniang finally understood why Fang Yiai had always coaxed, frightened, and tricked her in the past.
The cheater always wants to learn more boxing and kicking skills.
I'm sorry, my second brother has already taken precautions against wolves for me, and even the two personal maids around me are not ordinary maids, but carefully selected martial maids!
Although Qing Niang has not suffered a loss yet, the frivolous expressions of those sanctimonious young men still made one of the young ladies look down upon her, so she quietly asked the maid next to her to go outside to report the news.
For the sake of Qing Niang's safety, Fang Yiai had given Qin Ming and Qin Liang two orders to take good care of Qing Niang since the beginning of the feudal princes' arrival in the capital. Don't let that blind bastard bully you.
Including Jin Wang Li Zhi.
If Fang Xuanling and Mrs. Fang hadn't disliked him for being meddlesome, Fang Yiai would have even wanted Cao Da to recruit more than twenty strong and clever people from among his men to follow Qing Niang in and out as bodyguards.
After receiving a scolding from Fang Xuanling, a scolding from Mrs. Fang, and soft words from Fang Qingniang, Fang Yiai had no choice but to give up the idea.
In the end, he was ridiculed by Lu Yi, Chang Sun Huan and others.
Therefore, after receiving the news from the yard, Qin Ming was shocked and couldn't care less. He exchanged glances with Qin Liang, one quickly entered the yard, and the other quickly rode to find the house for his beloved.
After listening to Qin Liang's words, Fang Yiai glared at him fiercely, and ran towards Xiang Xueyuan non-stop, three minutes faster than the time he broke into Chang'an City to attend the funeral for Yu Shinan.
After drinking away the people who blocked the horse at the entrance of the garden, Fang Yiai rode Zhui Feng into the garden with a dark face.
When Fang Yiai arrived at the scene of the incident, the clothes and hair accessories of Qing Niang and the two maids were a little messy. Next to them was Mu Xiu, Xue Rengui, who was guarding him with a stern face. Changsun Huan and Li Zhi were directing people.
He beat up the bastard who wanted to take advantage of the young lady.
Especially Li Zhi, with a livid face, he stepped forward and kicked her a few times. Yaya dared to tease the princess whom I had chosen, and she was so impatient!
Fang Yiai reined in the horse, turned over and dismounted, and asked the two maids beside Qingniang, "Ziyuan, Ziling, who helped bully the young lady? Point them out one by one. If one is missing, turn around.
I know, you understand the consequences!"
After being asked, Fang Yi checked Fang Qingniang's body up and down. After confirming that there was no injury, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the people opposite her with colder eyes.
"Second brother, I'm fine, forget it." Qing Niang heard Chu Fang Yiai's displeasure and knew that her brother was standing up for her, but several of the other parties were young masters from various princes. She was afraid that it would embarrass her brother, so she immediately tried to persuade her.
road.
Ziyuan and Ziling glanced at Fang Qingniang, who wanted to calm things down, and then at Fang Yiai, whose face was full of frost. At that moment, Fang Yiai smiled slightly, and the older Ziyuan raised her finger.
The few people opposite and the embarrassed man lying on the ground said, "Second Young Master, they are bullying the young lady, and they are all accomplices."
"Brother"
Xue Rengui stretched out his hand to stop Fang Yiai, opened his mouth, and shook his head gently, indicating that at this time, Fang Yiai had better make trouble elsewhere.
"Second brother!" Qing Niang also reached out to hold Fang Yiai, hoping that he would not make a move and that it would be better to settle the matter in peace.
Fang Yiai gave Qing Niang a reassuring smile, and when she turned around, her face immediately turned cold..." Ding told Xue Ren, "Take good care of Qing Niang." After saying that, he broke away from the two people's interception.
"Ziyuan and Ziling" followed Fang Yiai's instructions, took Qingniang's arm and protected them between them. Xue Rengui turned around and blocked Qingniang, clenched his fists, his eyes were warm and determined
He looked at the few weak young men in front of him.
"How do you want to fight?" Changsun Huan looked at the people still standing with unkind eyes and asked Fang Yiai who was passing by him.
"Fist." Fang Yiai spat out two words, and then when passing by Li Zhi, she gave a cold warning, "I will settle the score with you later for what happened today!"
After saying this, he didn't look at Li Zhi's face, quickened his pace, and rushed into the other party's crowd without saying any nonsense!
Fang Yiai was like a butterfly piercing a flower. He clicked, clicked, and the people on the opposite side didn't even block. Fang Yiai swiftly removed his joints with his hands and feet.
"Aren't your hands and feet too fast?" Changsun Huan, who had rolled up his sleeves and followed him, felt that as soon as he was lifted up, everyone rushed towards him, and then in the blink of an eye, all the targets collapsed on the ground. He was very weak and had nowhere to use his strength.
feeling.
"It's because you are too slow." Fang Yiai rolled her eyes at Changsun Huan, kicked the person next to her feet, and then said to Li Zhi, "Please ask your Highness, King Jin, to find someone to help me carry these young masters to the front of the king.
Go, I’m going to file a complaint!”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Fang Yiai's request for a petition. The people lying on the ground paused for a moment before moaning and squirming even more. However, Fang Yiai's lovebirds didn't care about them.
"Are you serious?" Li Zhi asked Fang Yiai in surprise, thinking quickly about the pros and cons of doing so.
"What? Maybe they have the guts to bully my sister, so why don't they allow me to file a complaint? With their status, people from Jing Zhaoyi may not dare to accept it, so I can only go to the emperor to file a complaint.
Is there anything wrong?" Fang Yiai looked at Li Zhi dangerously, waiting for his answer.
Li Zhi looked at Fang Yiai and felt in his heart. If his answer could not satisfy Fang Yiai, he might not be able to see Qing Niang in the next moment. Then he would have wasted so much effort.
, it was not easy for Qing Niang to slowly accept his efforts, but they were all in vain, and the princess he wanted to be with him also flew away.
"Okay!" Li Zhi looked at Fang Yiai seriously, without flinching in his eyes. He also wanted to understand, who let these people bully his future wife and grandma, and they were all bullying him. If
You can't say this for Qing Niang, how will you take care of Qing Niang if you are still here?!
It is obvious that you are on your side and do not take advantage of the situation to seek justice, then you are a shameless coward!
What's more, some of the various vassal kings have done things that have long been unacceptable to my father. Why don't I cooperate and give my father a reason to deal with them?
Seeing that the dangerous light in Fang Yiai's eyes faded, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ordered the people around him to prepare a carriage to take Fang Yiai to the palace.
"Your Highness, why are you following your second brother to fool around!" Qing Niang felt warm in her heart when she saw that Li Zhi actually agreed with Fang Yiai, but rationally she had to blame Li Zhi for following his fool around.
Didn't the emperor allow various vassal princes to come to the capital just to have a lively New Year? If such a scene were made, wouldn't it offend others and cause trouble for the emperor?
Li Zhi is protected by Empress Changsun, but his second brother was suppressed by the emperor for his military exploits before. If this matter gets serious, the second brother may not be punished!
Qing Niang was anxious, but no one present would listen to her advice. Even Xue Rengui, who had always been calm, in turn advised her to rest assured.
The angry Qing Niang looked back and forth at these people, not knowing what to say.
As soon as the incident broke out, the men and women in Xiangxue Garden gathered together after hearing the news.
Shu'er came over with a group of ladies. Looking at the chaotic scene, and then looking at Fang Yiai's face and Qing Niang's appearance, her face became cold at that moment.
After hearing what happened, Shuer immediately became angry and shouted that she wanted Li Zhi to change the truck. Since they were not afraid of being embarrassed, why not save their face!
If you dare to molest the daughter of a minister in the capital, you may not be as lawless as in the territory! If such a person doesn't teach you a lesson, wouldn't he be bringing trouble to the royal family and lose the face of the Tang Dynasty!
Fang Yiai rolled her eyes, glared at Shu'er, and asked her to suppress her temper first.
Yaya, the purpose of using a carriage is to save some face for each of their families. If they had used a carriage directly, they would probably die of embarrassment before even entering the palace!
In that case, wouldn't it completely cut off the room for maneuver? What was just reasonable became unreasonable, and it offended various forces.
He was on the prince's carriage, and if he really used the pallet carriage as Shu'er said, wouldn't it mean that these forces that could become honest after being beaten were simply passed on to Li Chengqian's opponent?
This is not a good deal.
Seeing that Li Zhi's people were all done, Fang Yiai knocked Shu'er on the head and said, "Take care of this place and don't cause trouble!"
Then he, Xue Rengui, Li Zhi, Chang Sun Huan and others, together with Qing Niang’s master and servants and other related personnel, rode horses and cars and rushed towards the palace. (To be continued.
