The day of autumn hunting is getting closer and closer, and everyone in Wu'anhou's house is getting busy.
Perhaps because she was worried about Xie Wu, the old lady personally took over and took care of many things. In this way, Xie Wu was saved a lot of things, and Xie Wu was also happy to have her leisure time. Just in time, Princess Xiao handed over the post.
Inviting her to have a drink at Guangju Building, she said something to the old lady and then led Xianyue and Suiyu to the appointment happily.
In the private room of Guangju Building, Xiao Muqing had already ordered a large table full of wine and food. Seeing Xie Wu come in, she immediately stood up and greeted her, "Wu, come on, come on, the food and wine are almost cold."
Xie Wu took off the curtain hat on her head and said to Xiao Muqing with a smile, "Aqing, did you invite someone else?"
"How is that possible! It's not like you don't know that you are the only friend I have in the capital." Xiao Muqing replied without thinking.
"Then why did you order so many drinks and food?" Xie Wu asked Xiao Muqing with a smile.
"It's better not Xiao Mubei. He heard that I was coming to Guangju Building and asked me to bring him some food and wine. Since he said so, I have to order more!" Xiao Muqing curled his lips and said.
"Then you don't need to order so much? Moreover, since you are bringing food back to the prince, shouldn't you have people pack the food? Why..."
"Of course it's because he only deserves leftovers!" Princess Xiao took Xie Wu's words without hesitation.
Seeing Princess Xiao's expression, Xie Wu smiled softly. She sat down at the table and said, "What? The prince has provoked you again?"
As soon as she mentioned this, most of the smile on Xiao Muqing's face immediately disappeared. She lifted up her skirt and sat down opposite Xie Wu, and then said to Xie Wu angrily, "He wants me to go back to Yunnan!"
"Go back to Yunnan?" Xie Wu frowned slightly.
Xiao Muqing nodded solemnly, "That guy bought a bunch of messy things and said they were gifts for my father. He asked me to send them back to Yunnan, Yunnan!"
The more Princess Xiao thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She angrily reached out and broke off a chicken leg from the plate, opened her mouth and took a hard bite.
"So, the princess doesn't want to go back to Yunnan?" Xie Wu raised her hand to pour a glass of wine for Xiao Muqing and said to her with a smile.
Princess Xiao, who had eaten half a chicken leg and downed a glass of wine, was finally in a better mood, "It's not that I don't want to go back to Yunnan, I just don't want to go back now..." At this point, Xiao Muqing's face lit up.
A suspicious blush.
Seeing Xiao Muqing like this, Xie Wu's heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding up the wine bottle froze slightly. In just a moment, the wine in the wine overflowed...
"Sorry." Fortunately, Xie Wu responded quickly and quickly put the wine bottle on the table.
"Ah Wu, what are you...you don't want me to go back to Yunnan, do you?" Xiao Muqing couldn't help frowning as he looked at the wine stains overflowing on the table.
"How could it be?" Xie Wu twitched her lips and smiled, and she said with a smile, "I'm just curious. Didn't the princess keep clamoring to go back to Yunnan when she first came to the capital? Why did she suddenly change her mind now?"
"I, I... I can't bear to leave you." Xiao Muqing said with a smile. After saying that, she quickly picked up the wine glass and drank another glass of wine.
Seeing Xiao Muqing's guilty expression, Xie Wu frowned. She also raised her hand to pick up the wine glass and took a sip. Then, she looked at Xiao Muqing jokingly and said, "Princess, you don't have a crush on anyone."
Alright?"
Snap.
The peanuts on Xiao Muqing's chopsticks fell back onto the plate.
And Xie Wu's heart was completely gloomy at this moment.
Ah Wu, I really like him! But how could he treat me like this! How can I be inferior to his useless cousin? I am so good to him! He is not blind! Why can’t he see it?
In the previous life, Ah Qing's voice of hugging her and crying seemed to be ringing in her ears again, one after another.
But here, Princess Xiao, who had been exposed by Xie Wu, didn't notice anything strange about her. Seeing that Xie Wu had guessed it, she simply said to her frankly, "There is such a person, but I haven't yet."
I told him..." After speaking, Xiao Muqing lowered his head shyly.
Looking at Xiao Muqing who was immersed in happiness, Xie Wu's lips moved, but in the end she didn't say a word.
When the two of them came out of Guangju Building, Xiao Muqing sent Xie Wu to the carriage with a smile on her face, "Ah Wu, this time, he will also go to Qiuchi with us. When the time comes, I will introduce him to you.
!”
"Okay." Xie Wu smiled and nodded towards her.
It wasn't until the curtain was lowered and the carriage began to clatter towards the Marquis Wu'an's Mansion that the smile on Xie Wu's face finally faded away.
"I wonder who the princess has her eyes on? Look at her happy look, that person must be good-looking!"
As soon as the carriage started running, Suiyu couldn't wait to speak to Xie Wu, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that Xie Wu's whole body seemed to be soaked in a layer of frost, and it was a bit frighteningly cold.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Suiyu was frightened by Xie Wu's expression.
But Xie Wu didn't say anything. She glanced at Suiyu and then slowly closed her eyes.
It doesn't matter, Ah Qing has just met him now, she hasn't fallen in deeply yet, everything is too late!
Soon, the day of autumn hunting came. Before dawn, the women and maids of Wu'anhou Mansion began to get busy. They loaded all the boxes and cages that had been packed long ago onto the carriage one by one.
Xie Wu was also called out by Sui Yu.
"Mommy Luo, why is it you?" Xie Wu said as she got up.
"Mama Luo went to the front yard to keep an eye on her. Girl, it's better to get up quickly. We just received a letter from Ronghua Academy saying that the old lady has also gotten up." Suiyu said while changing Xie Wu's clothes.
Xie Wu nodded, and she let Suiyu help her get dressed, but when she was combing her hair, Suiyu suddenly stood behind and stopped moving.
"Girl, this slave doesn't know how to comb her hair?" Sui Yu said, holding her palms and looking at Xie Wu with an embarrassed look.
Mi Yue used to do the job of combing the girl's hair, but after Mi Yue returned, Aunt Luo took over.
Xie Wu glanced at her, and then moved her gaze to Xianyue. Xianyue's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Girl, I know how to comb my hair, I know how to comb my hair!"
Seeing the two round knobs on Xianyue's head, Xie Wu stiffly tugged at the corners of her lips, then turned around and picked up the comb.
At this time, Mrs. Chen was also combing Xie Zheng's hair in the Cuizhu Courtyard. While she was combing her hair, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Ayao, what's wrong with you? Okay, why are you crying again!" Seeing Chen's appearance in the bronze mirror, Xie Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Brother Zheng, how about we go and beg mother again? I don't want to stay in the house." Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Zheng with red eyes full of grievance and reluctance.
Everyone in other houses takes their wives with them, but she is the only one...
She didn't understand why the old lady didn't allow her to follow.
"Ayao, mother is doing her best for you too! The journey to Qiu Shou is not easy and the journey is tiring, so mother is also worried that you will get hurt!" Seeing Mrs. Chen's expression of nostalgia and reluctance, Xie Zheng patiently comforted her.
"But I'm not afraid of being tired. As long as I can be by your side, I won't be afraid of suffering or being tired!" Even though Xie Zheng said this, Mrs. Chen still held his hand reluctantly.
"Brother Zheng, do you...do you think I'm useless too, and you're afraid that taking me out will embarrass you, so...so..." Mrs. Chen looked at Xie Zheng and suddenly choked up and couldn't speak anymore.
Seeing Mrs. Chen covering her mouth and sobbing, the corners of Xie Zheng's lips moved again and again, but in the end he couldn't say even a single word of comfort.
He could understand why his mother made this decision, and he also believed that Ayao's temperament was indeed not suitable for going on an autumn hunting trip. After all, the imperial driver was in front, and if something went wrong, neither he nor the Marquis of Wu'an would be able to bear the responsibility.
.
Mrs. Chen waited for a long time but didn't receive any comfort from Xie Zheng. She looked up at Xie Zheng a little aggrieved and disbelieving, "Brother Zheng, you, you have changed... you have changed!"
He used to comfort her when she cried!
"Ayao, what do I have to say to you to understand that this is not Ningxia! The Crown Prince and Crown Prince's wife are not just titles! I have responsibilities that I have to bear, and as my wife, you also have them! How did you tell me back then?
I promise, do you still remember it? Ask yourself, have you done everything you promised?" Xie Zheng frowned and looked at Mrs. Chen, with a look of hatred on his face.
"I work hard, but my mother always says that this is wrong and that is wrong. She always finds fault with me and thinks I am not doing well! I have obviously worked very hard!" When Xie Zheng looked at him like this, Chen
Shi felt even more aggrieved, and her tears kept falling down as if she didn't want money.
Seeing Mrs. Chen wiping away her tears, Xie Zheng finally couldn't help showing a trace of tiredness on his face, "Ayao, if you really try hard and still can't do it, then I can only say that you can't afford it.
As the wife of the Crown Prince of the Hou Mansion..."
As soon as Xie Zheng said these words, Mrs. Chen fell silent. At this moment, she forgot to cry. She raised her head with disbelief on her face. She stared at Xie Zheng with her eyes for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice, "
Are you, are you, do you dislike me? Are you, are you, are you going to divorce me!"
Xie Zheng frowned, his face full of helplessness and fatigue, "Ayao, I didn't say I wanted to divorce you..."
"Then why did you say that? You clearly dislike me. Like the old lady, you feel that I am not worthy of being on the stage! Obviously other wives can go out with their husbands, but it's just me. I'm the only one who is ordered not to follow you.
, you all think I am embarrassed..." Chen became more and more sad as she spoke, and by the end, she even showed signs of bursting into tears.
Just when Xie Zheng was at a loss, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
"father."
"It's Wu!" Seeing Xie Wu walk in, Xie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
On Mrs. Chen's side, when she saw Xie Wu coming in, although she stopped crying, she still held on to Xie Zheng's sleeves and refused to let go.
"Dad, grandma called you over and said she had something to tell you." Xie Wu looked at Xie Zheng and said calmly.
"Okay! I'll be there right away!" Xie Zheng responded quickly, and then he pulled away Chen's hand that was holding the corner of his sleeve. After taking a deep look at Chen, he raised his feet and left without looking back.
