A few days later, Yuan Cixian received a golden post, inviting her to enjoy the flowers in the Furong Garden, signed by Zheng Pei.

She knew that this person was the sick Ninth Prince of the court, who had met her once in Daming Palace on the day of the ceremony. At that time, her father was left by the sage to discuss matters, and she and her elder brother went back home together, but met his sedan chair on the way.

The man stared straight at her, and he insisted on stopping her from leaving, with a mouth full of teasing. When the elder brother saw him messing around, he became angry and gave him a harsh word.

As a result, Zheng Pei rolled his eyes and fainted. I heard that later I had a headache and lay on the bed for a month to recover.

It was only now that she found out that when she came to Beijing, Zheng Pei had tried to visit her several times, but was stopped by the palace staff, so she had to ask someone to send a post.

However, his elder brother, who never liked him, accepted it. She thinks there is a ghost inside.

When Yuan Yu handed the post into her hands, her expression was not natural: "If you are too lazy to deal with it, forget it, brother refuses for you, don't be afraid of him."

Of course she is lazy. The Ninth Prince did not leave a name in the dream, probably not an important role, and the impression he left on her last time was really bad. This kind of frivolous womanizer, if not because of her status, she would have to find someone to wring his arm off.

She simply said, "I won't go."

Yuan Yu pondered for a moment: "...What if the sixth prince also goes together?"

She opened her eyes in a daze: "Really?"

Yuan Yu could clearly see the changes in her expression before and after, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, so he said: "Brother, what did you do to lie to you! If it's just that apprentice, of course he refused early in the morning, why bother to ask?" What do you mean." After finishing speaking, he tentatively said, "Didn't you tell Brother last time..."

At any rate, I have a chance to see the true face of Lushan, the enemy in my dream.

Yuan Cixian said without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Okay, I'll go."

The next day, Yuan Cixian's sister-in-law Jiang Birou accompanied her to the Furong Garden.

Furong Garden is located in the south of the city, near the bank of Qujiang Pool, with green water and green mountains, pavilions and pavilions, and the scenery is infinite. Right now is a good time to appreciate the water hibiscus, Zheng Pei invited Yuan Cixian to come here, it took a lot of thought to come here.

Yuan Cixian seemed in good spirits, chatting and joking with Jiang Birou. The two were led by the maidservants to a bamboo building surrounded by mountains and rivers, and they took off the curtains and hats only after gradually entering the house and the sun was out of the sun.

When I reached the top, I saw that the door of the small room was wide open, and there was a long and spacious table in the middle. There were three men sitting on the ground beside the table. group.

Yuan Cixian caught sight of the person furthest outside, and couldn't help but pause.

Why is Lu Shiqing here? He was also dressed in dazzling silver and vermilion, as if he was afraid that the light would not blind people.

Seeing her stop, Jiang Birou stopped, too. The three people at the other end noticed the movement here, stopped talking and laughing, and looked together.

Yuan Cixian was shocked by this battle.

They all look pretty good, and the ones sitting in this row seem to let her pick and choose.

She changed her mind, looked past Lu Shiqing, and looked at a person in the living room.

This man was wearing a round-neck gown in duck-egg green, embroidered with dark silver cloud patterns, and decorated with light jade hairpins in his hair, he must be the sixth prince Zheng Zhuo. Looking at her gentle and elegant posture, she is actually as her name suggests, shining brightly, not the violent appearance she imagined.

Zheng Zhuo noticed her scrutiny, and smiled at her, a little bit of humility that didn't match his identity.

Yuan Cixian was thinking, if the dream was real, it would be impossible to judge people by their appearance. Of course, there was a smile back on his face.

So you come and I have laughed, some people can't sit still. Zheng Pei, who was at the back, suddenly stood up and greeted him in this direction.

He is young, and his face is still childish. At this moment, his eyes are straight and his face is flushed. He seems to see the beauty in comfort, and even the pain is gone. He is staring at Yuan Cixian all the way.

She was wearing a water-red skirt, with a water-green skirt tied into a double bow, with a pair of exquisite silver bells strung in the middle, her black hair tied in three parts and seven parts down, with a ring of silver ornaments in between, shining brightly in the sun .

Zheng Pei has read a bit of folk annals, and knows that many people in the Southwest prefer silver jewelry, which has a different charm compared to Zhou Jing, and suddenly feels that a woman like Jiang Birou, who is so elegant, is too bleak. , greeted Yuan Cixian: "Cousin Xian!"

Yuan Cixian's late grandmother was the late emperor's half-sister. Speaking of which, Emperor Huining was her cousin, and Zheng Peifei was right to call her a cousin.

It's just that this name really makes people get goosebumps.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart for a while, and saluted him with her sister-in-law, but just as she started, he held the back of her hand and listened to him tenderly: "Cousin Xian, don't be too polite..."

Yuan Cixian is self-aware. She can walk sideways in Yaozhou, but her identity is not enough in Chang'an, especially when she has a tragic dream reminding her to be careful in her words and deeds, so she will not make enemies at will in this man-eating land.

But she is also willing to endure everything.

She withdrew her hand, smiled at Zheng Peipi and said: "Your Highness Ninth, I'm really sorry, Ci Xian has a habit of cleanliness."

Shi Cui, who was following behind, handed her a brocade handkerchief to wipe at the right time.

Jiang Birou quietly tugged on her sleeve, motioning for her to bear with it and click as far as it goes.

Seeing that Zheng Pei's face turned pale, Zheng Zhuo hurriedly got up to smooth things over, and said with a smile, "It was the first time I saw the so-called cleanliness, and it was at Lu Shilang's place. Compared with Zi Shu, the county magistrate is already mild."

Yuan Cixian glanced at Lu Shiqing who was sipping tea with his head bowed, and thought to himself that this person has so many problems. She doesn't have any cleanliness fetishes, she's just pretending.

With this step, she took advantage of the trend. After all, Zheng Pei's mother is ranked as the fourth concubine, so she can be regarded as favored, and her natal family is also powerful. If she really offended him, she was afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat, so she slapped him and hurriedly sent candy, and asked him with a smile: "Your Highness Ninth Prince?" , I wonder if this is-?"

Seeing that she recognized herself but not Zheng Zhuo, Zheng Pei was immediately happy and came over: "This is my sixth brother!"

Yuan Cixian pretended to have suddenly realized, saluted Zheng Zhuo, and then walked in with him, asking: "Then according to the meaning of the Sixth Highness, is it possible that if you change to Lu Shilang, you will chop off your own hand?" No."

Lu Shiqing turned his head and narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes: "The county master really knows how to joke."

"It's true that people often praise me like that."

Seeing that Yuan Cixian and Jiang Birou were both seated, Zheng Pei also followed in, and said, "Has anyone ever praised Xian's cousin for her beauty, which is hard to find in the world?"

Yuan Cixian didn't seem to understand his overtures, and nodded, "Yes, he's also Lu Shilang."

Lu Shiqing didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was: When?

She explained with a smile: "However, Lu Shilang's wording at the time was--a dignified appearance and a personable demeanor."

Zheng Zhuo didn't seem to dare to believe it, and asked in surprise, "Zi Shu still praises people?"

Lu Shiqing showed displeasure: "The mouth is slippery for a while." After saying that, he probably felt that the roots of his teeth were a little itchy, so he lowered his head and took another sip of tea.

Yuan Cixian noticed that the white-glazed jade tea pot in his hand was different in style from the others on the desk, and it was probably brought by him, and his heart was really clean.

Zheng Pei was secretly curious about how Yuan Cixian met Lu Shiqing, but he was afraid that the beauty would get angry again, so he couldn't ask immediately, pointing to the seasonal melons and fruits on the table and saying: "Cousin Xian, eat at ease, these melons and fruits are very clean very."

Zheng Zhuo saw that Jiang Birou was skipped while he was speaking, and added for him: "Madam Yuan please too."

Jiang Birou was originally here as an escort, so naturally she didn't care, she smiled and lowered her eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness."

This bamboo building has eight sides in general, with a carved door on one side and windows on seven sides. Each window has a different view.

Zheng Pei compared the window scenes, from the spring and autumn of Furong Garden to winter and summer, and Ziyun Tower to Penglai Mountain. Hearing that Yuan Cixian was thirsty for him, he ate several lychees in a row, and agreed a few words when he was free.

When he paused, she glanced at Zheng Zhuo who hadn't eaten, and asked, "Does Your Highness Six not eat lychees? It's very sweet."

Her words are a bit anti-customer-oriented. Zheng Zhuo looked up and smiled at her.

Yuan Cixian is generous in eating, not reserved like ordinary women, but very elegant. When this exquisite white lychee reaches her plump and beautiful lips, for some reason, it suddenly makes people salivate.

He ate one by chance, and said, "It's really sweet." Then he asked Lu Shiqing, who had been drinking tea dryly, "Will Zishu take a few to relieve the astringency?"

Lu Shiqing glanced lightly at the lychees on the desk, and said coldly, "Eat more if you like."

Zheng Zhuo was not annoyed by his attitude, he smiled loudly, and ate another one as he said.

Yuan Cixian praised: "Your Highness knows the goods. The lychee juice in this season is more meaty and fat, and it can't be more delicious."

"If the county lord likes it, I will send someone to send a few baskets of fresh ones to Yuanfu."

She said bluntly, "thank you very much then."

Seeing this, Zheng Pei turned pale again.

He was the one who invited Yuan Cixian today, but unexpectedly, he ran into Sixth Brother and Lu Shiqing, these two serious-looking guys took some medicine wrongly, but when they heard about his whereabouts, they became attached to each other.

These two people are four years older than him, in his eyes they are old and decrepit, so he didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that now Yuan Cixian and the two of them are inextricably linked, and Dudu treats him extremely perfunctorily.

Is it possible that today's little ladies feel older?

Zheng Pei stopped talking about the scenery of the four seasons, and asked: "Cousin Xian, would you like to go boating and go to the other side of the water to have a look?"

Yuan Cixian glanced under the bamboo building: "It's a good idea, but my sister-in-law is weak and should not be exposed to the sun for a long time."

Zheng Pei thought that it's a good thing to be brave, and immediately beamed with joy: "So, Mrs. Yuan will sit here for a while." After saying that, he ordered the maidservants around, "You guys are good hosts, don't neglect."

Jiang Birou nodded, and quietly gave Yuan Cixian a wink, signaling her to be careful in her actions.

A group of people went down the bamboo building.

Zheng Pei asked people to prepare two small canoes, which did not appear to be royal in the slightest. Excluding the boatman, each can accommodate two to three people.

Yuan Cixian knew at a glance that he wanted to leave Zheng Zhuo and Lu Shiqing behind and share the boat with her.

She glanced at Zheng Zhuo, and found that he happened to be looking at her. After such a glance, she pretended to look at the wide water surface inadvertently, and asked: "Four people and two boats, how does Your Highness plan to arrange?"

I don't know which Highness I am asking.

Zheng Pei just wanted to answer, but Zheng Zhuo said first: "Why don't you vote for Qiong."

small theater:

Zheng Pei: Get out of the way, a group of old and decrepit people!

Zheng Zhuo and Lu Shiqing: Young man, who do you think is old and who is fading?

Yuan Cixian: The one who came on a blind date in red, you managed to attract the attention of the county lord.

Lu Shiqing: Sorry, this is just my personal taste and style, and has nothing to do with you, aunt. :)
