Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen

December twenty-sixth. Qi Yiya took Lu Yinan to look for Mrs. Gu, saying that she wanted to go to Huamen Temple to worship Buddha and pray for cousin Yiyao.Mrs. Gu is a Buddhist believer, but she has devoted herself to taking care of Qiu Yiyao in the past few days, and has never had time to worship the Bodhisattva. Hearing what Qi Yiya said now, besides being happy, she is also gratified for Qi Yiya's thoughtfulness and understanding.Busy people prepared chariots and horses, and sent attendants to escort the two cousins ​​to Huamen Temple. Huamen Temple is located in the south of the imperial capital city, covering a very large area, and the temple is also majestic.

When Qi Yiya and Lu Yinan arrived at Huamen Temple, they saw several carriages parked in front of the temple, and there were still guards standing in front of the temple gate. As soon as they saw their carriages approaching, the guards immediately stepped forward to question them. It was heard that they were from the Marquis of Weiyuan. Miss, take it easy and give way. In the temple, it was heard that people from the Weiyuan Houfu came to offer incense, and a monk who was a guest came out to welcome him immediately. Interrogated for no reason by the guards, Lu Yinan felt annoyed, and when he entered the temple, he asked the Zhigu monk: "Why is such a big show?"

"Amitabha." The guest monk folded his palms together, "It's Mrs. Yu from Prince Anyu's mansion. Today is the anniversary of the death of the master and wife of the Yu family. She comes to the temple every year to do a ritual ceremony for her parents." "Yi Ya has heard about this before." Qi Yiya smiled, "It's really rare for Mrs. Yu to be so filial." Lu Yinan curled his lips and said nothing. The Zhike monk led the two of them around the Zhengxiong Palace, and it seemed that they were staying in the small Buddhist hall of the side hall.

Lu Yinan stopped immediately, raised his hand and pointed to the left, and said, "The Zhengxiong Palace is over there, where are you leading us?" "Amitabha, please forgive me." The Zhike monk saluted with palms together, "At the moment, the main hall is doing rituals, and it is inconvenient for you two to enter, so I invite the lady to worship Buddha in the side hall." Lu Yinan's expression suddenly changed when he heard the words, Qi Yiya hurriedly pulled her, and called softly: "Sister." Lu Yinan met her gaze, gritted his teeth secretly, and turned his head away. Qi Yiya turned his head and smiled at the Zhike monk, and said, "As long as you are sincere, no matter where you want to worship the Buddha, the Buddha will know and it will be fulfilled. Please also master lead the way."

"Amitabha, so good, so good," the Zhike monk put his palms together and bowed. The two followed the Zhike monk to the Buddhist hall of the side hall, offered incense and paid homage, and donated incense money before leaving the hall. The Ruke monk who was waiting on her side asked her whether the two of them stayed in the monastery for the fast meal, or went back home immediately. "My two sisters have heard that Huamen Temple is famous for a long time, so they want to visit the temple for a while, Master, please do it yourself." Qi Yiya said. "That's it, ladies, please go ahead." The Zhike monk clapped his hands together and bowed, then retreated.

Qi Yiya dragged Lu Yinan around the temple for half an hour, and saw most of the Huamen Temple. There were many roads in the temple, and the two of them didn't know the way, so they turned to the front of the Zhengxiong Hall. The front of the hall is covered by a curtain, and when the ring stands, there are bursts of chanting in the hall, and the scene is very grand. "What a big scene!" "Worthy of being a member of Prince An Yu's Mansion, even performing a religious ceremony with such dignity." Suddenly someone was moved by their ears, they turned their heads to look, and saw two richly dressed women standing on the side corridor, looking at the main hall and giving pointers.

"This Empress Yu is really filial, she comes here every year." "That's not true. It seems that today is inconvenient. Let's ask for this bodhisattva charm at another time." "Too." The two women turned and left. Lu Yinan looked at the main hall of Zheng Daxiong, with both envy and disdain in his eyes, thinking to himself that she is just a little Teng Ji, what kind of empress, what kind of ostentation! Qi Yiya glanced at her, and sighed softly: "The royal family is really different from us." Hearing this, Lu Yinan's face was filled with anger, and he said, "Sister, you and I are also Miss Hou's Mansion. In terms of status, we can't even be inferior to Mrs. Yu."

Just as he was speaking, the sound of scriptures in the hall suddenly stopped, and then monks came out one after another. Qi Yiya looked at her, her heart moved, and she said: "Looking at this scene, it seems that the ceremony is over, why don't we wait for a while. I heard that the good leaf charms of Huamen Temple are very effective. After they leave, we will enter the temple Go and ask for a Bodhisattva talisman for cousin Yiyao, to help him recover from his illness as soon as possible." "What's the use of you being so kind to others, everyone may not be grateful." Lu Yinan was very disapproving, but he didn't leave, and stayed with Qi Yiya and so on.

After half a quarter of an hour, the monks had dispersed, and the curtains outside the hall were closed, and then some attendants came out in a file, and finally a beautiful woman came out. . Seeing the beautiful woman come out, Qi Yiya took Lu Yinan to live in the Zhengxiong Palace, and when she passed by, Qi Yiya suddenly remembered, and said: "Each person can only ask for one Bodhisattva talisman. Next, I'll ask cousin Yiyao, sister, you can ask Princess Chenhua for one, she will be frightened if she loses this time, please ask for a talisman to calm her down." "What?! Let me ask for a magic talisman for her?!" Lu Yinan exclaimed when he heard the words.

"Sister!" Qi Yiya hastily pulled her, turned around, and saw the woman stopped behind her, looking at the two of them, so she nodded and smiled at the woman, and pulled Lu Yinan into Zhengxiong hurriedly. treasure hall. That beautiful woman was Mrs. Yu. She looked thoughtfully at the backs of Qi Yiya and Lu Yinan as they hurried into the Zhengxiong Palace, raised her hand to call for Chun'er, her confidant maid, and said softly, "Follow quietly, listen carefully." Whatever they said in the palace, they will tell me every word when they come back.” "Yes." Chun'er hurriedly followed.

In the hall, Lu Jingnan broke free and said, "Sister, you really believe what they say! What got lost, in my opinion, it's obvious that they eloped with the guards!" "Sister, how can you talk nonsense like that." Qi Yiya frowned. "Where am I talking nonsense, this is the truth!" Lu Yinanji was not convinced, "She obviously eloped with the guards, but she still wanted to say something about getting lost. She can tell such lies, but everyone is not Without a brain, who would believe it!" "younger sister……" "Sister!" Lu Yinan interrupted Qi Yiya and said sharply, "Think about it, she has been in the mansion for several months, never going anywhere, never seeing anyone, but why is she willing to go to Baitan Mountain this time? Get married Cousin Yiting has not returned for several months. She must have stayed in the empty boudoir for a long time, impatient with loneliness, had an affair with the guards, and wanted to take this opportunity to escape from the residence. Otherwise, if she is really lost, then go with her Why didn't the lost guard come back? One night in the west, who knows what kind of trouble she had with that guard! I guess she was trapped by the heavy snow and couldn't get out, so she was found by cousin Yiyao, so she used the fox charm method Confused, cousin Yiyao covered her up. From my point of view, 90% of the guards were killed by the two of them. In this way, there will be no evidence of death, and then they will make up an excuse of 'lost' and come back as if nothing happened. Moreover, this Once cousin Yiyao was ill, didn't she take the initiative to send thousand-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum? I haven't seen her before, but this time she is active. Hmph, if you are shameless!" "Yinan, keep your voice down, people will hear you." Seeing her talking louder, Qi Yiya couldn't help turning her head to look around, but fortunately, the ceremony had just finished, and there were only the two of them in Nuo Da's hall at the moment. "I just want to be loud! I feel uncomfortable! I hate that Princess Chenhua!" Lu Yinan thought that the punishment of that day was even more resentful, "She just has an affair with the guard, she just seduces my uncle! She is..." "Yinan, the more you talk, the more outrageous you become." Qi Yiya hurriedly covered her mouth, "Did you forget Madam's confession, things on Baitan Mountain are not allowed to be mentioned." Lu Yinan pulled Qi Yiya's hand away, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, isn't it because of a guilty conscience that you don't want to mention it? If you really acted in an upright manner, why would you be afraid of being criticized?" "Okay, okay, don't talk about it anymore." Qi Yiya hastily dissuaded, "Even if this matter is as you have predicted, it is not a glorious thing no matter how you say it. After listening to the spread, it will not only damage the princess's reputation, but also Houfu and cousin Yiting will not be able to lift their heads in front of others. If you don't care about the princess, you must take care of cousin Yiting." After hearing her last sentence, Lu Yinan stopped speaking. Qi Yiya took the opportunity to pull her to the Buddha, offering incense and praying to the Buddha to ask for a talisman. Outside the hall, Mrs. Yu heard Chun'er's reply, a cold light flashed in her eyes, a smile appeared on her lips, and she took another look at the Zhengxiong Palace, then led her attendants out of the temple and returned to Prince Anyu's mansion. As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, an attendant came forward and told him that because it was about to celebrate the New Year, the palace had given many things, and the two empresses were taking the young master and princess to pick things out in Xianqiao Hall.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu rewarded the messenger and hurried to Xianqiao Hall. The hall of Xianqiao was indeed filled with all kinds of items bestowed by the palace, including rare treasures and ordinary exquisite objects. King An Yu sat in the hall and served a cup of tea, looking at the Qing clan, Cheng and several children commented on those treasures. When Mrs. Yu entered the hall, she first met King Anyu. King Anyu waved his hands casually, and said, "Go and pick out a few that you like too." "Thank you, my lord." Shi Yu stood up. There are so many treasures in the hall, and Yu's eyes swept away, and he fell in love with a jade peony bonsai.The jade basin is about half a foot square, and it is cut from a whole piece of white jade. In the white jade basin stands a foot-high peony. The peony is inlaid with purple jade, topaz, jasper, and white pearls. The pistils, white dewdrops, green branches and leaves, the colors are crystal clear, the jade flowers flow, lifelike, not only beautiful, but also priceless. Seeing that Qing's gaze was also lingering on the bonsai, Mrs. Yu said sweetly, "My lord, I like this jade peony bonsai." King Anyu raised his head, said about the peony jade bonsai, his eyes flickered slightly, and said after a while: "Ge Qi, send it to Jixue Garden." Yu's smile froze on his face. "Yes." Ge Qi nodded, waved, called an attendant, and ordered him to carry him to Jixue Garden. Qing's and Cheng's couldn't help but quietly shifted their gazes over, and even the five children stopped joking, looked at their father, and then at Yu's. King Anyu didn't realize it, he finished his cup of tea quietly, then put down the cup, and looked up at everyone in the hall. Qing was the first to react, and took a string of red agate beads at hand, "My lord, this concubine chose this string of beads." Cheng also hurriedly took something, and said: "I like this jade carving with hibiscus pattern Huafu." "My child likes this night pearl." "My child likes this piece of beedianzi." Everyone reported the things they wanted, but Mrs. Yu just stood in the hall, neither choosing things nor speaking, looking at King Anyu with anger and resentment. King Anyu got up with his sleeves, and said: "Ge Qi, they picked people and sent them to their respective gardens, and the rest who should be rewarded will be rewarded, and those who should be put into the warehouse will be put into the warehouse." Step out of Xian Qiao Hall. "My lord!" The Yu family called out loudly behind him, but King Anyu never looked back. In the hall, Mrs. Qing and Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Yu whose complexion was red, blue, white and black. They wanted to step forward to comfort them, but they thought about their human nature. After leaving, only Jue Hong and Jue Tingyi stood in the hall, looking at their mother anxiously. "Mother?" After a long time, Xing Ting stepped forward and called softly. Hearing the sound, Yu Shi turned around, squeezed a smile, and said, "What did Ting'er choose? Is it still in your mind?" "My daughter chose this piece of bedianzi, which can be embedded in the hat." Xie Ting held up the inch-sized bedianzi in her hand.The beidianzi is sky blue, slightly transparent, with a soft luster, and it is an excellent treasure. "Well, as long as you like it." Yu said with a nonchalant glance. "Mother, the peonies are nothing to look at. Why don't you choose a glass screen for combing your hair." Jue Hong took a glass screen and held it in front of his mother. One of the seven treasures of the family, it can gather blessings and cure diseases, which is much better than that jade peony." He paused for a while, stroking the colored glaze with his fingertips, and then said: "I also heard that amber colored glaze is a symbol of authority. What does mother think?" Shocked by the words, Yu raised her eyes to look at her son, the sixteen-year-old boy's eyes showed sharpness.It's time for the prince's mansion to establish a son, whether he is relegated or established, no matter what, her child is one step away, only one step, so her mother must push him back.without the slightest error.So he nodded with a chuckle, and said: "What Hong'er said is reasonable, mother will follow you. You pick something and go back first, mother wants to see it later." "En." Jue Hong and Jue Ting withdrew. In the Xianqiao hall, the attendants are following the orders of the chief steward, sorting and distributing the imperial gifts. People come and go very busy, but Mrs. Yu stands alone in the hall, looking at a certain place with empty eyes. There was the jade peony bonsai. "Ma'am." Chun'er stepped forward lightly, "The manager asked, do you want this glazed screen or choose something else?" Mrs. Yu came back to her senses, looked at the Xianqiao hall which was mostly empty, and smiled sadly, "Let's go for the glass screen, at least my son picked it for me." "yes." The waiter who was waiting at the side had already heard it, and hurriedly moved the glazed screen and sent it to Jifang Garden without waiting for instructions. "Go back." Yu Shi turned around. When she left Xianqiao Hall, she walked almost in a hurry all the way, and the attendants behind her did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed, and when they arrived at Jifang Garden, they were all out of breath.As soon as Mrs. Yu entered the inner room, there was a bang bang ding ding sound, sharp and ear-piercing, which made the attendants who followed behind stop immediately, looked at each other in blank dismay, dared not enter, but had to. In the inner room, looking at the mess and debris in the room, Mrs. Yu felt so sad that she couldn't help it. She sat down on the couch and couldn't help covering her face and weeping silently. twenty years... I have been in the mansion for twenty years! From Dou Kou's youth to now, his face is twilight, he takes his joy as his joy, and his worry as his worry, he cares about him every day, year after year, and thinks so hard just to please him, but... twenty years of hard work can't get him He cherishes love the least bit, even twenty years of companionship can't get him a bit of attention! And that woman in Jixue Garden treats him coldly and treats him like an enemy, but she can tie him to life's sorrows and joys!All the rewards must be given to her first, and the cold winter and hot summer are given to her, and she has been holding them on the tip of her heart for decades...but she treats all the gifts like dirt, but she doesn't know that others will not get it for twenty years of hardships. ! Her 20 years of dedication, but also just a little Teng Ji.And she, even though she was a stranger all her life, was still the dignified princess of Prince Anyu's mansion.What's more, her daughter can be named a princess, can marry a noble son-in-law, and can be compared to a prince...Why can they get the best in the world so easily? "Ma'am?" A timid call was heard in the ear, and when she looked up, she saw Chun'er looking at her worriedly. snort!Did she want these people to pity her! Mrs. Yu sat up, wiped off the traces on her face, took a breath, and pulled herself together, "Chun'er, you are very friendly with the maid next to Mrs. Xu in Tailu Mansion, right?" "Yes." Chun'er replied, looking at Mrs. Yu with some doubts, "Why did Madam suddenly ask?" Yu Shi smiled and tidied her temple hair, "Go and get ready, I'm going to visit Mrs. Xu." "Yes." Chun'er withdrew. Yu's fingertips were plucking at the beaded dots on her head, with a sad and cold smile on her face. It seemed that in just one night, there were rumors in the imperial capital. When Princess Chenhua escaped the cold on Baitan Mountain, she wanted to elope with her guards. Princess Chenhua couldn't bear to be lonely in the empty boudoir, so she had an affair with her uncle. Everyone in the imperial capital paid close attention to this beautiful princess, who had a strange and complicated psychology.Ever since that day when they saw the real face of the princess, everyone yearned for that stunning beauty, but she was a noble princess, a celestial maiden in the clouds, someone they could neither hope nor reach.But at this moment, it was as if the princess was pulled from the high jade throne, pulled into the dust from the flawless clouds, and they were suddenly close. They could talk about the princess quietly and wantonly, as if she was beside her. So as soon as such rumors came out, they quickly spread, and soon spread in teahouses and taverns in the streets and alleys. No one investigated whether the rumors were true or not. Everyone was excited when they talked about the princess. Therefore, the rumors did not stop with the wise, but spread more and more. Naturally, they spread to the Marquis of Weiyuan and also to Anyu. palace. "Who is it that spread such nasty things?" In Deming Garden, Mrs. Gu was so angry that she slapped the table straight after hearing Qiu Yi's report. "It's not as good as a servant girl. I just know that almost everyone in the imperial capital is talking about this matter." Qiu Yi replied. Qiu Yuanshan had already known about Baitan Mountain from Mrs. Gu, and at this moment he also frowned, saying: "Since Baitan Mountain has already given instructions, who would spread such vicious rumors? Where did that person come from?" Did you know that the princess got lost in Baitan Mountain?" After speaking, he began to pace the room again, turned around a few times, stopped, looked at Gu Shi and said, "Could it be the guard who got lost with the princess and didn't come back? ?” Gu Shi shook her head when she heard the words, "It shouldn't happen, Yao'er will not be so negligent in doing things, he must have dealt with it properly if he didn't mention the guards." She sighed heavily, "Yao'er's worries that day were indeed true! Princess The disappearance should never be known to everyone, but it's a pity...it's a pity that Kong Zhao is so ignorant that he got it to this point today!" Qiu Lianshan walked around a few more times, and said: "It's impossible to be a person from Baitan Temple, monks would not do such things." After thinking for a while, he said: "If this is the case, it must be the one who spread the news. A servant of the princess or someone accompanying the mansion." "Who did it, and why did it happen?" Mrs. Gu was puzzled, and even more annoyed when she thought about it, "This person's heart is too vicious, and he wants to destroy the princess!" "Ah!" Qiu Yuanshan sat down on the chair, his thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, "Except for Bai Tanshan, the princess hardly ever goes out of the house, she neither makes enemies nor grudges, who would want to harm her like this?" ?!" "This is puzzling." Mrs. Gu suddenly said, "No, I must find out who is the murderer and punish me severely! Qiu Yi, go and invite Fang Lingyi and Lord Mu over here." "Yes." Qiu Yi took the order and went. Just as Gu sat down, she stood up abruptly, "This matter must not be reported to the Deyi Garden. Yao'er is currently ill, and with his disposition, if such filthy words fall into his ears, it will definitely aggravate his condition." "En." Qiu Yuanshan nodded, "Don't let the princess hear it." "Qiuhe, go to Deyi Garden, tell Ge Jia, and then go to Deyi Garden." Gu ordered another guard. "yes." There were only husband and wife in the hall for a while, sitting and meditating each other, after a long while.Gu Shi asked Qiu Yuanshan: "Master Hou, are these rumors aimed at our Hou Mansion or the princess?" "I am a princess." Qiu Yuanshan sighed after hearing the words, "It's just that there is no difference. The Houfu and the princess are one at the moment, and if one is damaged, the other is prosperous. This person slanders the princess so much, his heart is to be punished!" "Ah!" Gu sighed, "It's approaching the Chinese New Year, but something like this happened again, this year can be..." Qiu Yuanshan wentssiping without saying a word, walked to the window, today is a cloudy day, the sky is gray, very dry and cold. "This year doesn't seem to be a smooth year, but fortunately it is coming to an end." However, not long after Qiu Yuanshan said those words, at dusk that day, the imperial capital received an urgent report from Baizhou that the new king of Gulu Kingdom had succeeded to the throne, broken the contract and violated the border, and had seized three cities in a row! The seventeenth year of Qingyun seems to be really not an ordinary year. The emperor issued a decree overnight, ordering Weiyuan Hou Qiuyuanshan to go to Baizhou the next day. It was already Xu time when the decree was issued to the Hou's mansion, and the people in the mansion were shocked and worried after receiving the decree. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, they are all looking forward to the return of the conscripts, but Lord Hou wants to go to the battlefield at this moment, so hasty.However, the eldest son sent troops to Mozhou for several months and has not returned yet. The second son is seriously ill in bed. Nuo Da is a waiting mansion, and he loses his pillars one after another. There is a hidden danger of death. Even so, since the imperial decree has been issued, the mansion can only prepare the marching suit for Lord Hou overnight. On the second day, before leaving, Qiu Yuanshan asked Yundeyiyuan to visit Qiu Yiyao, and Mrs. Gu accompanied him.I don't know the dangers of this expedition, and I don't know when I will return. If there is anything to worry about, it is the eldest son who is away, and the second son who is not a parent but is better than a parent. Entering Qiu Yiyao's room, he saw Qiu Jia was serving him to drink the medicine, the bitter fragrance of the medicine in the room made Qiu Yuanshan feel even more worried.It seems that since he met this child, he has been soaked in this medicinal fragrance, and it is still the same after so many years. In the room, Qiu Yiyao was about to get up when she saw Qiu Yuanshan enter. "Don't get up." Mrs. Gu hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, helped him lean on the bed, took the medicine bowl from Qiu Jia's hand, and fed him the medicine herself. After Qiu Yiyao drank and rinsed her mouth, she took out a roll of white silk from her pillow and said, "Father, the Gulu people are tough and brave, and they are also very good at bows and arrows. My dynasty has fought with them and suffered heavy casualties every time. Last night The boy thought about it all night, and improved our crossbow again, Dad took this and asked the military technicians to build it according to the diagram, to see if it can be used in the battlefield." "Yao'er!" Qiu Yuanshan was not only displeased when he heard the words, but instead became furious. He swept away the white silk and said sharply, "You have been so ill and you still spend the whole night exhausted. Have you forgotten the doctor's words?" Tell me! You... you don't want to die!" "Cough, cough, cough..." Qiu Yiyao opened her mouth, but there was a violent cough, which made her breathless, her heart and lungs seemed to be coughing out. Seeing this, Gu's heart ached and anxious, and she couldn't help scolding her husband, "What are you yelling at, the child is so frightened!" Seeing Qiu Yiyao working so hard, Qiu Yuanshan was also heartbroken, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, patting his back and handing him water. After a while, Qiu Yiyao gradually stopped coughing. "You child..." Qiu Yuanshan sighed softly, "Don't you know that doing this will not only make you unhappy as a father, but also make you regret it even more?" "Father." Qiu Yiyao calmed down, sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "As a son, I should take care of my father's worries, and a child is useless. Not only can I not help my father with such a body, but it will only make you worry. , I feel very ashamed. Now that I can help my father a little, the child is very happy, and I hope that my father will not be angry." "Oh, being a father is not anger, but heartache!" Qiu Yuanshan looked at his son with regret in his eyes, "you know, the son is sick, and the pain is in the hearts of parents. You are not doing it for yourself, but also for your father." For your mother's sake, cherish yourself more than anything else to make us happy." "Father, mother, the child is like the Tao." Qiu Yiyao nodded, and softly comforted the parents, "What is the child's illness? He is taking medicine every day for recuperation. He has recovered recently, and he will be almost fully recovered in a few days. Wait until Dad After returning triumphantly, the boy will go to the city gate to lead the horse for you." "Okay, okay." Qiu Yuanshan showed his face and nodded again and again, "After my father left, I must remember to take good care of my illness, and don't worry about worrying your mother anymore." "En." Qiu Yiyao nodded, picked up the white silk and handed it to her father again, "I still have this thing, maybe it can be used." "Hey, the painstaking effort you have put in all night is not a waste for your father." Qiu Yuanshan took it, only glanced at it, and his eyes lit up. After looking carefully, he looked up at his beloved son, without saying a word, just thinking I deeply regret it.Such Jia'er does not pity him and makes him so sick, otherwise, his Qiu family will be a pair of arrogant children who rule the world! "Master Hou, the time is coming soon." Someone outside the door urged. "I know." Qiu Yuanshan replied, looking at his wife and children with nostalgia again, "Madam, Ting'er will be back soon, and I can feel at ease with him at home. Ma'am, take care of yourself, Yao'er I have to rest assured and recuperate, so I can go out with peace of mind when I choose a sample." "Master Mata, you have me at home, so don't worry." Mrs. Gu got up and put on the first armor for her husband herself, and instructed carefully, "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you have to be careful." "I'll save it." Qiu Yuanshan shook his wife's hand and let go. "Well, I'm here to wish my father a triumphant return." Qiu Yiyao bowed on the bed, and then said to Gu: "Mother, you go see off your father, it's fine, my boy." "Okay, I'll see you later." Mrs. Gu turned around and sent Qiu Yuanshan out. In front of Weiyuanhou's mansion, people from the whole mansion stood on the steps to bid farewell to Qiuyuan Mountain. Qiu Yuanshan bid farewell to his wife, and when he was about to get on his horse, he heard a voice calling "Hou Ye!" Turning her head, it was Fang Jia who came quickly, and she presented a small kit in front of her, "There are two bottles of golden medicine in this bag, the princess said, please bring the following For emergencies. There is another page, the princess said that she found it in the white building, presumably it was lost by the waiter, and now it is returned to the original owner." It is reasonable for Jinchuang Pharmaceutical to fall, but what will be "one page"?Qiu Yuanshan was slightly suspicious, but this was not the time to study carefully, he reached out to take it, bowed to Fang Jia, and said: "Please order Idaibenhou to thank the princess." Fang Jia returned the salute, "May the Master Hou come back victorious." Qiu Yuanshan jumped on the steed, and with a wave of his hand, all the attendants also got on the horse, whipped the whip, and galloped away. Behind him, everyone in the Hou Mansion watched from afar. December 29th. In the Jixue Garden of Prince Anyu's Mansion, Qiaoshan carried the breakfast carefully prepared by Lingyu, walked through the garden and corridors, and finally found Princess Anyu in Liushuixuan. Since the princess got married, the princess has also undergone some changes.In the past, the mother and daughter lived in their own rooms, each read their own books, each played their own piano, each drew their own paintings... and each had a leisurely look.But now, Princess Wang doesn't read much books, doesn't play the piano, and doesn't paint anymore... Each of them is having a good time.But now, Wang Fei doesn't read much books, doesn't play the piano, doesn't paint, and doesn't enjoy tea and food. She seems to be tired and tired of everything, but she feels very peaceful in her expression. She often comes to Liushuixuan sit in.Speaking of Ling Yu, the two agreed that the princess was so reluctant to let go of the princess, but it was a pity that the horse had not returned, otherwise the princess would have returned home long ago. "Princess, it's time to eat." Qiaoshan arranged the lunch on the stone table in the pavilion, and pulled down the curtain to block the cold wind. "It's tasteless, you can eat it yourself." Sure enough, Princess An Yu said so. Qiaoshan had already expected her to say this, so she came prepared, no matter what she wanted to arouse the "angry" of the princess. "Wangfei, you have to eat some, otherwise if you are sick and someone bullies the princess, who will she rely on?" "Ling'er is smart and strong, even if I'm not here, she can still live comfortably." Princess An Yu was very relieved. "Oh, that's not necessarily true." Qiaoshan sighed heavily, partly because of intention, but mostly because she was really worried about the princess. "Huh?" Princess An Yu turned to look at her as expected. "Princess, do you know that in the imperial capital... alas..." Qiaoshan sighed again, her face full of sadness. "What's wrong?" Princess An Yu asked. Qiao Shan hurriedly put the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, "Princess, talk to me while eating." "Oh?" Princess An Yu glanced at her, said nothing, and slowly ate vegetables. "It's some rumors." Qiao Shan said cautiously. "You don't need to tell me these things." Princess Anyu said. "Your maidservant knows." Qiaoshan has followed her for so many years, how could she not know her heart, how many gossips and gossips about the princess she has lived in, the princess has never known, anyway, closing the door of Jixue Garden will create a world of its own.It's just that this time it's a little different, and it's impossible to turn a blind eye and listen to it like a living. "Some words about the princess this time are really ugly." "Huh?" Princess An Yu stopped her chopsticks and looked up at Qiao Shan. "Princess, you eat first." Qiao Shan said. Princess An Yu looked at her without saying a word, with a clear smile on her lips, she picked up her chopsticks to eat again, and half a moment later, she finished a bowl of rice.She stopped her chopsticks, looked at Qiaoshan, and said: "Your actions today, it seems that you not only want to eat with me, but you also have something to tell me, so just say it, I'll listen." "Yes." Qiaoshan put away the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and then served hot tea in the pot, and said: "The servant girl came out of the garden today, and saw some people in the mansion gathered around to discuss something quietly, the servant girl didn't I don't care, only when the word 'princess' came into my ears occasionally, the servants paid attention, and only then did they know that they were talking about the princess eloping with the guards when she went to Baitan Mountain, and that the princess had an affair with her brother-in-law!" At the end, Qiaoshan's tone became more serious, obviously out of anger. Princess Anyu frowned slightly when she heard the words, "Where did these words come from?" Qiaoshan shook her head, "I don't know, I just listened to the tone of the people in the palace. It seems that there are such rumors everywhere in the imperial capital. Wangfei, the princess just got married, it's not good to be trapped by such rumors." "Did the princess go to Baitan Mountain?" Princess Anyu asked. "En." Qiaoshan nodded, "I heard that at the beginning of the month, Mrs. Weiyuan Hou took the female relatives in the mansion to escape the cold on the mountain, and the princess also went with her. When the princess' jade chariot passed through the long street, it was surrounded by the people. Fortunately, the princess came out of the chariot. See, it’s finally going through.” "Why is the princess's jade chariot surrounded by people?" Princess Anyu felt strange. Qiaoshan couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not that the people have heard about the beauty of the princess, so they must see it with their own eyes." "Oh." Princess Anyu bowed her head, and after a while, she asked, "What's the reaction of the Marquis of Weiyuan to those rumors?" Qiao Shan shook her head, "I don't even know about this." Princess An Yu murmured, and after a while, she got up and said, "Go get ready, let's go to the Marquis of Weiyuan." "Ah?" Qiaoshan stared at Princess An Yu with wide eyes when she heard the words.Since the princess married into the palace, except for the time when the princess was married, she has never stepped out of the gate of the palace, and has never visited any mansion. At this moment, the princess actually said that she would go to Weiyuanhou's mansion... This... is true of? Seeing Qiaoshan's reaction, Princess Anyu couldn't help but shook her head and sighed softly, and said: "Although I don't want to deal with world affairs, but when the princess marries into the Hou's Mansion, it's not like Jixue Garden there. She has many things to worry about, and her Temperament, even if things come to an end, I don't care about them, but I, a mother, can't help but care. You go and inform Ge Qi, prepare the carriages, and I'm going to Weiyuanhoufu." "Yes... yes." Qiaoshan was overjoyed upon hearing this, turned around and left as if afraid of her repentance, "I will go right away, servant girl." When Ge Qi heard that the princess was going to the Marquis of Weiyuan, she was also shocked, but immediately prepared the car and attendants for the princess to go out, and at the same time thought about whether to inform the prince who entered the palace to discuss the court affairs with His Majesty ?The concubine took the initiative to leave the garden, but it has never happened before, the prince listened, would he be happy? That day, Mrs. Gu was sewing new winter clothes for Qiuyi Pavilion in the house, when the housekeeper reported that Princess Anyu had arrived in front of the mansion, she was so surprised that she almost got a needle on her hand. You know, this princess is well-known in the imperial capital, but she also lives in seclusion. I have never heard of any house or mansion she has been to for decades. She actually came to the Hou Mansion today. This...but Is there anything important?Without thinking about it, he hurriedly ordered to open the middle door to welcome him. He also dressed up according to his taste and went to the mansion to greet him in person. When Princess An Yu walked out of the chariot, there was a sudden silence in front of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the attendants and guards were all dumbfounded, but Mrs. Gu was also on the spot in a daze. The person getting off from the car was slender and evenly dressed, dressed in deep purple and black ink, and covered with a fiery red fox fur. His black hair like a crow's wing was tied with a purple jade hairpin and a simple slanted bun. There is no more jewelry, and the eyebrows are clear and the eyes are not stained with makeup, but this is such a simple and almost simple person, but there is a compelling beauty from the inside, and the grace and grace are even better than that of the country. The beautiful peony, the charm is cold and elegant, everyone looks at her as if possessed by a demon, and can't move their eyes away, only feeling that the beauty is thrilling. At this moment, Mrs. Gu understood Qiu Yuanshan's saying "you dare not take a second look at the first glance", such a person can never forget it with just one look. "I think this is Mrs. Weiyuanhou?" Princess Anyu stared at Gu, who was still in a daze. Gu came back to her senses, and hurriedly saluted, "It's my concubine, I didn't know the concubine was coming, and I couldn't meet her far away, I hope to forgive my sin." Princess An Yu stretched out her hand to support Mrs. Gu, "Madam, you don't have to be polite." "Thank you, Princess." Gu stood up, "Please, Princess." He turned sideways to let Princess Anyu enter the mansion. "Madam, please." Princess An Yu also waved her hand before entering the mansion first. Mrs. Gu welcomed Princess Anyu into the main hall of the Marquis Mansion, and after serving tea in person, she lowered her head and took a seat. Looking at the graceful and gorgeous Princess Anyu sitting on it, for the first time, Mrs. Gu was in awe and did not dare to follow along. Yi opened his mouth and did not dare to move lightly, for fear of being in the slightest abruptness. After drinking tea, Princess Anyu looked at Gu Shi who was sitting down, she couldn't help but smiled softly, and said: "Madam, don't be restrained. I am the princess' biological mother, and you are her mother-in-law. You and I are both the princess' mother, so why not?" Sisters look at each other and get closer." Hearing what Princess An Yu said, Gu Shi relaxed a little, but said in his mouth: "Don't dare, the concubine is precious, and I must not be presumptuous." Princess An Yu just smiled. "The concubine came to our residence in person today, but what's the matter?" Gu asked anxiously.At this moment, she thought of the rumors, and wondered if the concubine had come here to ask for a crime?Alas, it is indeed the fault of the Marquis's residence that Baitan Mountain did not protect the princess well. "It's nothing important." Princess An Yu said, "The princess has been out of the palace for several months. I, a mother, have been missing for a long time, and it's her birthday tomorrow, so it's not convenient for her to go back to the palace, so I came to see look at her." "Oh, it's my concubine's negligence." Mrs. Gu hurriedly got up, "Come on, hurry up and invite the princess." "Slow down." Princess Anyu stopped her. "Princess is..." Gu turned around and looked at her. Princess An Yu also got up, and said: "Since I'm here, I'd better go see the princess in person. Besides, I also want to see where the princess lives now, Madam, what do you think?" "Of course." Mrs. Gu said hurriedly, stepping up to lead the way personally, "Princess, please." Out of the main hall, Mrs. Gu accompanied Princess Anyu to live in Dexin Garden and walked and watched on the same road. It took almost two quarters of an hour to reach Dexin Garden.And along the way, everyone in the Hou's mansion were all peeping quietly, all of them were amazed on the spot, secretly praising the princess for being so beautiful and young, and she was different from Princess Chenhua.It's no wonder that the three princes fell in love back then. 早有人先到了德馨园里通报，闻说母亲来访，倾泠虽诧异，但依止不住惊喜，亲自出园相迎。 母女相见，自是一番欣喜。 孔昭见到许久不见的王妃、巧姨、铃姨亦是喜不自禁。 德馨园里，又是一番见礼。 寒喧片刻后，顾氏想她们母女久不见，必有体己话要说，是以先行告退。一出了德馨园即去吩咐着侯府的厨子准备最好的佳肴款待这位罕见的贵客。 方珈、穆棕等见礼后亦领着侍从退下，便是孔昭都领着巧膳、铃语去自己房中说话去，于是殿中便只余母女两个。
