Qingchuan History

Chapter 361 Return to the East
It is said that Gu Xinglang and his entourage re-entered the territory of Qi State, and traveled non-stop to the central and eastern regions, first to Xiling, and then back to Jidu.

Facing the backyard, the wind and the sea are calm.When Ruan Xueyin arrived at Zhexue Palace, the palace people waited for the whole courtyard, all of them were overjoyed.

Yunxi stood at the front with her long neck stretched out, which is a model of "looking outside".Xu Yin kept her posture for too long, and when Ruan Xueyin appeared at the gate, she didn't look back for a long time.After another half a moment, I finally reacted and hurried forward to meet him.
"Madam is back. I wanted to go to the gate of the palace to wait, but I was afraid that I went to the wrong gate. There were rumors in the past, but this time I couldn't find out, so I had to wait in the palace."

"Sister Yunxi is looking forward to the stars and the moon," Tangli also came up, smiling all over her face, "I'm about to become a husband-wife stone."

"What are you talking about?" Yun Xi gave her a white look, helped Ruan Xueyin into the hall, and said:

"My lady is staying in Xiling for a short time. Is everything okay? The slaves stay in the palace, I'm afraid you are not used to being served by another person, and you always think that one day you will be called to go there."

But there was no movement until he returned.She didn't say it.Ruan Xueyin heard it, smiled and said:

"It's all good. Most of the time, the emperor and the thirteen princes rode horses throughout Xiling for spring outings. They didn't live in the palace very much, and they didn't bring entourage with them. You know, I lived by myself when I was young, so it's completely fine."

Yunxi blinked: "Madam has learned how to ride a horse?"

Ruan Xueyin was startled, "No." This lie cannot be told, it is too easy to get through, "He took me."

That's all I can say.I just finished talking about riding a horse for a spring outing together, but I can't say that the two of them are riding a horse and I am enjoying flowers in the forest.

Yunxi pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is very good at riding. I have been following my servants for several years, but I have never seen him take anyone. Ever since my wife entered the palace, everything has set a precedent."

After staying outside for a long time, as soon as she returned to the palace, her words and deeds were not very slick, Ruan Xueyin realized that her words were not right after a moment of reaction, "Why don't you act properly. Don't say such things in the future."

"Yes." Yunxi nodded repeatedly, "The maidservants only talk about it when they are with Madam, they usually tell other people like this."

Ruan Xueyin nodded, "Is everything okay in the palace?" It looked calm, but I don't know what the actual situation is.When she asked this question, she was consciously surprised, because Gein's question was too similar to the words of a concubine who had been floating in the palace for a long time, and the subtext was:
Is everyone still safe?Is there anyone doing something?
"Everything is fine." Yunxi replied, "Madam went up to Xiling with you. Everyone in the palace knows that no one came to visit during this period. It should be that Mrs. Yu is taking care of the affairs of the harem. Spring is coming and the other two ladies are also She often goes out and about. Princess Chunyue is about to give birth, and His Highness Chunfeng visited the Xiangguo Mansion again during this period, and it is said that he asked for an order before leaving."

Talking while walking, the master and servant returned to the bedroom soon.After going out for half a month, it was only when I walked into this room that I felt a real sense of home.Ruan Xueyin felt quite at ease, and Yunxi waited on her to change her outfit, and then looked at the books on the shelves in the hall, they were still the same.

She was in a good mood, and immediately remembered something,

"Inquire, did His Highness Chunfeng go to Qiji Courtyard to practice horses today. If she is in the palace, I will visit her later."

When Ruan Xueyin stepped into the gate of Linghua Hall, she just caught up with Gu Chunfeng coming out excitedly.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to see you!" She rushed up and pulled Ruan Xueyin's sleeve gauze, "I'm really going to suffocate to death. Ninth Brother Xiao Mo and you are not here, and no one is playing with me. But the three of you , traveling in Xiling together in the spring, and excluding me alone, how can there be such a reason?"

Gu Chunfeng's remarks, even if they are fallacies, are also particularly contagious.Ruan Xueyin heard it amused, she led her to walk in, and replied:

"Every year, the Xiling appointment is between your ninth brother and the thirteenth prince. I'm already counted as a follower. How can there be two followers?"

"You can only bring one follower. In the past, you must have taken me. If you have a sister-in-law, you can bring your sister-in-law." Gu Chunfeng curled his lips, "Now Brother Jiu, I wish I could squeeze you into a clay figurine in my arms and take you with me wherever I go. " She clicked tut tut, showing disgust, "It's inseparable, what's the matter?"

Ruan Xueyin couldn't laugh or cry with this clay figurine analogy.He also wondered that others didn't know that their trip to Shenquan Town, Pengxi Mountain, and Suoning City, at first glance, didn't they mean that they were favored and could even follow the appointment with Xiling?
This is often the case in the world. Outsiders watch the excitement, and the more they watch it, the more exciting it becomes. They think that the show on the stage is a good show, and they don't know that the real story is behind the curtain.

Therefore, those who don't know everything are often willing to open their mouths, thinking that they can penetrate into the inside and get all the mysteries; on the contrary, those who know deeply and broadly speak less, understand the vastness of the universe, and cherish the green grass and trees.

Gu Chunfeng doesn't belong to the latter yet, but he doesn't belong to the former either—

She's just happy to talk, not self-righteous, not rude, not obnoxious.This is another cuteness.

The two entered the side hall, sat opposite each other, drank tea and ate snacks.Ruan Xueyin didn't respond to her teasing, and asked with a smile: "Have you read all the books assigned to you before you leave?"

"Don't mention it." Gu Chunfeng bluffed, "You and Xiao Mo are not here, I read alone, and there is no atmosphere. No one asks, no one checks homework, how can I have motivation."

Some unreasonable reasoning is eloquent and emotional.Ruan Xueyin smiled and shook her head, "What about riding and shooting? Didn't you go to Qiji Academy recently?"

"Going to go." Gu Chunfeng waved his hand, "but the teacher is not here, I run back and forth by myself, day after day, and I don't see any improvement."

Shen Ji went out with them.Ruan Xueyin understood. "Where's Ji Qi?"

"Didn't Brother Nine reward him with an errand? I've already reported for duty, and I haven't seen anyone lately. But that nagging ghost, don't need his guidance."

Ji Qi went to Xue Zhan's camp.Ruan Xueyin remembered. "Master Shen Ji is back, and I'm back too. You can reschedule your days of studying in the morning and riding a horse in the afternoon."

"That's right." Gu Chunfeng smiled openly, "So when I heard that you were back, I didn't go to Wanlan Palace, I just wanted to find my sister-in-law."

Gu Xinglang probably doesn't have time to see you either.Ruan Xueyin thought.After leaving for more than half a month, even though there is Ji Xiang in charge of the country, the imperial study is still full of memorials.I'm afraid I'm going to sleep in the pile of memorials for the next few days.

"Speaking of which," she was thinking, and suddenly realized that she had nothing to do, so she took out a small brocade box from her sleeve and placed it in front of Chunfeng.

"Give it to me?"

"Open it and see if you like it."

Gu Chunfeng really likes to receive gifts, especially the ones that are packed in brocade boxes, most of them are kits and kats.Her eyes lit up, she swiftly opened the button of the box, and when she lifted the cover, it turned out to be a pearl flower.

The whole body is made of silver, not too bright, it looks like three feathers scattered in the wind, the delicate hollow shows its lightness, and it is embellished with light golden yellow coral gems. .

"It's pretty." Gu Chunfeng was a little disappointed that it wasn't a KitKat thing, but girls, who doesn't like pearl flowers?She weighed it in the palm of her hand and looked at it for a while, then compared it with the feather pattern on the cuff, "It matches my palace skirts, my sister-in-law has a heart." She smiled,
"Did you buy it on the way back to the palace? Jidu still has this kind of bead flower. I have never seen it before when I went out of the palace."

Of course Ji didn't buy them all.Fortunately, she does not need to answer this question. "Master Shen Ji bought this. I didn't ask where I bought it."

Gu Chunfeng blinked: "Shen Ill? Why did he buy me pearl flowers?" After thinking for a moment, he put the things back into the box, "Isn't that good. Is this not a private exchange?"

Give and receive privately.Ruan Xueyin also blinked.It is against the palace rules. "Can't I give it?"

When I was in Shenquan Town, I asked Shen Ji to pick and buy it, under the banner of wanting to make up for my birthday gift.At this moment, I didn't make it clear in time. Firstly, I wanted to see Chunfeng's reaction, and secondly——

When Zhuhua got her hand, she wanted to give Shen Ji two taels of money, but the other party would not accept it.Is it already a gift from him?

"You gave it to me," Gu Chunfeng blinked again, and carefully evaluated, "It was fine, but you told me that he bought it, so it's a private exchange? You're just a middleman." After she said this, she felt wrong Well, it's too easy to make people think wrong because of the words of private giving and receiving and middlemen.

What kind of bead flowers should I buy?

She stayed there for a long while, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration: she probably wanted to exchange his dagger with this.
