A sudden chill ran down Li Jiu's back. He turned around suddenly and regained his cold expression. He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and looked around cautiously. But everything was as usual, nothing unusual happened.
When he turned around, he didn't notice that his shadow quietly deepened in color, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its original appearance.
When I walked into the front yard, I heard a clear, high-pitched male voice.
"Third brother, just for Brother Yue's sake, just let me go! Just pretend that you haven't seen me in the general's mansion! When you get back, help me say hello to my mother and concubine. As for my father, please
Please help me say more nice things."
"Father asked me to take you home."
"Home? Is the palace considered home? If Brother Yue hadn't let me go out last night, I would have rushed into the palace a long time ago! Third brother, I'm not telling you, how could you let Sister Jingyao go?
!It’s great now, I won’t see you again until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse.”
"You...you will never see her again."
"How do you say this? We met outside the palace before, but we made an appointment to play polo together and go hunting together during the autumn hunting season."
The rain pattered outside the house, and Xiao Chuhong and Su Zhen vaguely listened to their conversation.
They handed the umbrella to the boy, cleaned the mud on their boots, and followed the housekeeper into the house. The furnishings inside were elegant and unique, most of them made of top-grade rosewood. No incense was burned, and the surroundings were filled with the natural smell of sandalwood.
The fresh fragrance exudes.
"Mom, we are back."
Xiao Chuhong held Su Zhen's hand and never let go. Su Zhen quietly raised her eyes...
I saw Shang Yuchen sitting in front of him, wearing a dark robe, and sitting next to him was a woman in white.
She is wearing a white and blue stand-up collared double-breasted pipa short-sleeved horse-faced skirt, with delicate orchids embroidered on the neckline and wide blue hem. She has a fairy-like appearance, windy hair and rainy temples, and has a unique charm that is difficult to explain. Royal blue
The fringed hairpin paired with sapphire earrings made her skin look like white jade, making her look unworldly.
In the first place under Shangyi Chen, in addition to Gu Yunshu, there was also a young man in brown cloth sitting. He was playing with the tea cup in his hand, and he was full of ruthlessness, even more so than Su Zhen. The outline of his facial features was not like that of Luo Qi.
, with deep eye sockets and high cheekbones. His hair is very short and tied up casually with a brown hair tie at the back of his head. He wears a piece of animal skin around his waist and a black tiger-shaped jade pendant around his waist.
Su Zhen took out her hand and bowed her head, "Su Zhen has met His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Jing, and Mrs. Xiao."
"Zhen'er, you're welcome, take a seat." Shang Yuchen showed a familiar smile and raised his hand to indicate for them to take a seat.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
There was no restraint on Su Zhen's face, and her expression fell naturally beside Xiao Chuhong.
"I recognize you! I've seen your portrait in Brother Yue's study! But it doesn't look like it. It feels like it was from a few years ago."
As soon as Shang Mujing said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
Shang Yuchen and Gu Yunshu stared at Xiao Chuhong suspiciously. It turned out that he had evil intentions towards Su Zhen a long time ago, but he still pretended to be a gentleman.
Lu Jingshu had never been to Xiao Chuhong's study, so she naturally didn't know what he was hiding. After hearing this, she couldn't help but look at Su Zhen again.
Su Zhen suppressed her smile and said, "Your Highness has a very good memory, but the person in the painting may not be a junior official."
"No, no! The painting is hanging on the wall. If you don't believe me, go take a look!"
"Cough!" Shang Yuchen coughed dryly and wanted to remind Shang Mujing, but he got stronger.
He half-crouched in front of Su Zhen and said with a grin, "Although I have only been in Beijing for two days, I have heard a lot about your deeds. Those people are totally brainless. They don't think about getting rich all day long.
He will talk nonsense behind other people's backs. Just listen to those dirty words, don't mind them, don't take them to your heart!"
"Your Highness, do you think this official is a good person?"
Su Zhen was a little surprised. This was the first time someone comforted her because she was scolded.
"Don't always act like your highness or a subordinate. Just call me Mu Jing. Well... I'm two years older than you, so I follow my third brother in calling you Zhen'er."
"no!"
"No!"
Shang Mujing's temperament was even more familiar than Tang Yinchen's, but as soon as he finished his words, he was rejected by both Xiao Chuhong and Shang Yuchen.
"What are you two doing? You're just forcing me to go back to the palace all day long. You want to make friends and you're still not happy!"
Shang Yuchen was angry and funny in his heart, and said helplessly to Lu Jingshu, "Madam, don't mind. Mu Jing has lived outside the palace for a long time and is not familiar with the rules of the palace. Don't take it to heart."
"His Royal Highness the Prince is joking. The two days His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been in the General's Mansion have made the General's Mansion more lively. Yue'er is often absent on weekdays, so the Mansion is very deserted."
When Shang Mujing smiled, he would reveal his big white teeth without hesitation, and his hearty laughter was even more pleasant to the ears. He got up from Su Zhen, trotted behind Lu Jingshu, lightly clenched his fist and punched her shoulder a few times, and then used
Skillfully he began to squeeze her shoulders.
"Madam, you see it's still raining outside. My third brother has to take me away. Why don't you keep me for two more days? And Zhen'er, please inform Taifu's Mansion and ask him to stay for a few more days.
We just have a lot of fun together."
"His Highness likes the General's Mansion, and I am naturally happy. But if the Emperor calls you into the palace, I will not dare to stop you. Why don't you stay in the palace for a few days first? If you find it boring, you can come back."
"Really?" Shang Mujing's eyes lit up, "Madam, you are a kind-hearted person! You are really incomparable to some heartless ones."
The few people he meant by what he said didn't care at all about his awkward thoughts.
Shangyu Chen said helplessly, "If I really wanted to force you, I would have led the imperial army into the government long ago, so why would I need to give you good words and advice?"
"Don't listen, don't listen! Anyway, third brother, you have changed. You and my father are the same, and you don't love me anymore! Oh, by the way, you haven't finished speaking just now. What happened to sister Jingyao? She
Where did you go to enjoy the mountains and rivers again? You can't even catch up with the autumn hunting! You must have gone to some deep mountains and old forests, right? Really! You didn't even take me with you! How outrageous!"
Shang Mujing Balabala talked a lot, and those who listened had black lines on their heads.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, you probably don't know that the princess... burned herself on Huanyu Mountain last night." Gu Yunshu said in a pretended to be heavy voice.
Shang Mujing's smile finally solidified, "Mr. Gu, you, you, you... what did you say?"
"The official said, the princess..."
"She is dead? Are you talking nonsense? In order to trick me into returning to the palace, how can you lie to me about someone's death? This is too much! Third brother, tell me! Mr. Gu is lying to me, right?
"
Shangyi Chen didn't mean to joke with him on his face, and told him the answer by remaining silent.
"How is this possible? There is no sadness on any of your faces! You must be lying to me!"
"Twilight scene is real." Shangyu Chen said.
"I don't believe it! Where is the body! I want to see the body of sister Jingyao!" This chapter has been completed!
