Holding hands to see the world

Chapter 23
At night, my heart couldn't settle down, so I looked at Dong Qing and said, "Go to the third girl and ask, does the lady have any special orders today?"

Dongqing had just left here, and she had loosened her hair at night and was waiting to hear the news, when she heard a rush of footsteps, Dongqing hurried in, "Girl, girl, sister Xixiang from Madam's side sent a message Come, let you hurry over."

The hand that was combing hair at night couldn't help but pause, "Did you say what it is?"

"It is said that the emperor issued an order to allow the families of officials above the third rank in the capital to watch the battle." Dong Qing couldn't help but get a little excited. Even if such a grand event can't be close to the emperor, it is very good to watch the game. Not excited.

The restless heart that had been in the night slowly calmed down, and she said that people like Mu Yuanche did not follow the rules, and she really took action.

Dongqing was about to make up for the night, when Ruxue lifted the curtain and came in, she said, "Let me do the girl's hair."

Dongqing didn't expect that Ruxue would come over at this time, so she immediately said: "Sister Ruxue is not resting, why are you here?"

"I haven't laid down yet. I heard that I'm going to go out. How can I be lazy. Even the girl is usually so considerate, and a servant must know the rules." Sixue took the comb from Dongqing's hand and combed it for the night. Get up, "Girl, how about wearing a flowery bun?"

At night, I always felt that Bixue was a bit inappropriate. From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Bixue's clothes had been changed, which were bright and beautiful. I also reapplied powder on my face, which was extraordinarily bright.I understood a little bit in my heart, but said on my mouth: "I don't like these cumbersome things, you can just give me a simple tassel bun. I didn't want to go but I was afraid of being punished for resisting the order. How can I go out in this weather? Woolen cloth."

Hearing the murmur of the night, Ruxue's body stiffened slightly, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "Girl, this is a great thing. No matter how many people want to go, they are not allowed to go. The girl was restrained, but Madam still Remember girl, she is really kind."

"Ma'am is naturally very good." The corners of Ye Ye's lips curled into a faint smile, her brows and eyes were soft, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Si Xue glanced at it, and immediately looked away, her hands became busy.Dongqing opened the cupboard to find clothes for the night, and asked which one to wear for the night.

I know my own affairs at night, since I have met Mu Yuanche again and again, I naturally registered in Mu Yuanche's heart.Today, the martial arts field must be full of flowers, so why should I provoke the suspicion of Li Shi and Ye Chen, and Ye Xuan's defense.As long as Mu Yuanche has registered in his heart, even if he is only wearing coarse clothes, if he wants to see you, he will naturally see you.

So, Ye Ye said softly: "You can just pick out the lotus-colored squirrel-skin jacket and dress, and put on an autumn-colored cloak."

Dong Qing was stunned, "Girl, this is too plain, if you don't like too bright, how about wearing this silver-purple one?"

"No, everyone is here to watch a competition, not a beauty pageant. It's freezing outside, so keeping warm is the most important thing." Ye Ye seemed to be talking about something very unimportant, and she saw Xue Xue's expression through the bronze mirror With doubts, and then a sense of relief.

With a sneer at night, Li Shi's eyes are really responsible, even if she chooses bright and dazzling clothes, Ruxue will find various reasons to persuade herself to change them, even if she is not good-looking, she is Can't compete with Yechen.

Thick bangs covered the eyebrows and eyes, and the hair turned into small braids on both sides was bent and draped over the shoulders. On the bun, there were only a few pearl hairpins made of coral beads, and no earrings were worn. , just walked out.

Dong Qing followed Ye Xue to Li Shi's yard, and Ye Xuan came just in time, meeting Ye Xuan outside the door.Ye Xuan's bright attire almost dazzles the eyes, and when she saw Ye Ye's plain attire, she froze for a moment, "Second Sister, you are too plain."

"It's okay, I don't like those cumbersome things, I don't have to drop my head." Ye Ye said, and stepped into the door.

Ye Xuan looked at Ye Ye's back, her eyebrows relaxed, it seemed that Ye Ye really didn't have the heart to enter the palace, otherwise she would not be so careless about her appearance.Today, on such an occasion, if you can meet Shengjia... then it will be complete.

Thinking of the news that her aunt had spent a lot of money to get from the people around her, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frowned, she won't miss this opportunity today.The place where the martial arts competition took place was in a field specially set up by Daying in the western suburbs. The field was wide and surrounded by high platforms. People sitting on it could see everything in the field at a glance, and the view was excellent.

If the spring is bright and the flowers are in full bloom, with an oil-paper umbrella on the top of the head, a silk handkerchief in the hand, and a subtle and soft smile on the corner of the mouth, this is the decent style of the noble ladies in Beijing, enchanting and charming.But right now it is the cold winter, and there are snowflakes in the sky. Even if a shed is built above the head, the cold still invades the body, and the stove in the hand has already lost the temperature. Everyone is as frozen as catkins in the wind, shaking almost like a sieve. .

At night, I had expected such a situation, so when I came out, I dressed extra thickly, so as not to look good or not, bloated or not.Looking at the women around him, all of them are beautifully dressed, with slender willow waists, but at this moment their lips are pale and their faces are blue from the cold, so pitiful.

A long time ago, the servants of various families flew back to get the best silver frost charcoal, and put it in the hand stove to keep warm.Naturally, Li Shi also did the same, adding charcoal fire to Yechen's hand stoves, and it started to warm up again, and his complexion looked a little better.

Yechen's eyes fell on Ye Chen, who was wrapped up heavily, and Ye Chen's eyes were staring at the field with a smile on his face, without any embarrassment at all.Just now they were shivering from the cold, but at night they were dressed thickly, and their lips were red and their teeth were white and enviable.

Sensing Yechen's eyes at night, she turned her head and smiled at her, "Look, big sister, the second brother has come out, so majestic."

Seeing Ye Ye's smile, Ye Chen felt a little annoyed for no reason, but nodded coldly, then seemed a little unwilling, and finally said, "Second Sister, you are wearing thick clothes today."

"Well, I'm afraid of the cold." Ye Ye smiled sweetly, and said again: "That's why I envy my eldest sister who is not afraid of the cold."

The corners of Yechen's mouth twitched, and she couldn't figure out whether Yechen was really wise and stupid or hopelessly stupid, or if he was just a natural dumb.Today is such a good day, who doesn't want to make a good impression in front of the emperor, but at night, it seems that he didn't expect this, and he didn't have the consciousness of being a beautiful girl who was about to enter the palace for a draft, and he was dressed like a bear , The brows were locked again.

It's not that they are not afraid of the cold, but they are just carrying it hard, trying to make a good impression on the high-ranking king.

Ye Ye didn't seem to notice the stiff corners of Ye Chen's mouth, turned around and looked at the scene, and said to himself: "I don't know where the big brother went, why is there no one, everyone has come out. "

Yechen's complexion became more and more gloomy, and she didn't pay attention to Yechen anymore.There is no rush now, if he intends to enter the palace at night, sooner or later his feet will be exposed.What's more, she is just a concubine, and the elders of the family would probably not agree to a concubine's entry into the palace for draft. trembling.

Ye Chen often thinks that if Ye Ye changes faces with Ye Ning, she will never allow Ye Ye to live to this day.

The girls below had different thoughts, but at this moment, on the highest stand, Mu Yuanche's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.Yan Xi on the side didn't dare to show his anger, watching the night wrapped up like a bear dancing and waving vigorously at a man in the field.He really wanted to ask, Gu Liang, did you take your brains when you went out?
Yan Xi has seen many people in his life. There are no beauties in the harem, but he has never seen someone like Ye Ye.The few times we met before, Ye Ye didn't know the identity of the emperor, so it doesn't matter how inappropriate his words and deeds are, and those who don't know are not guilty.

But today, the emperor personally ordered the draft girls to come to watch the game. Dressing up like this at night is really... Yan Xi struggled and couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe his depressed mood at the moment.

On a day like today, who doesn't want to leave a good impression in front of the emperor, but this night, I don't know whether it's because he is slow and weak, or he has no intention of entering the palace. Dressed like this... really... I really want to give her a kick a feeling of.

The corners of Yan Xi's eyes quietly looked at the emperor's expression again, in fact, he seriously suspected that, in such a cold day today, the emperor wanted to see the night when he announced the ladies from various families.

Yan Xi guessed like this in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Presuming the holy will is a serious crime.

Mu Yuanche's eyes looked at the figure of the vigorous man who was chasing fiercely on the field. He was very satisfied that there were a few good seedlings in this year's selection. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a horse with a mixed coat rushing into it. Among the horses, the man on horseback was wearing a snow-white armor and carrying a long gun. The red cherry blossoms on the tip of the gun trembled in the snow-covered sky, making people unable to move their eyes away.

The horse was rampaging without any rules, and it looked like it was out of control. The people around seemed to sense the danger, and they all avoided the crazy horse. At this time, the man on the horse had already bent over On the back of the horse, he pulled the rein desperately with both hands, trying to stop the horse.The spear was carried on the back, and the bright red tassels were flying in the white snow all over the sky. Suddenly, the man on the horse had an extremely graceful figure hanging sideways on the side of the horse's belly, a silver light flashed in his hand, and the saddle on the horse's back had already turned upside down. Falling to the ground, the people around didn't know what happened. Many female relatives had already uttered panic and looked at this scene nervously, the veils on their palms were pinched out of shape.

The whole body was stiff at night, staring at her brother, she knew that someone must have tampered with the horse.She is a noble daughter of the Li family, and she learned to ride a horse when she was young.And this life was reborn in the Ye family, the Ye family is a general, the rules are not as rigid as the civil servants' family, and the daughters of the Ye family can also ride horses and bows, and she knew something was wrong when the horse was rampant just now.

It’s just that Ye family’s daughter practiced riding and archery as a kind of game, neither Yechen nor Yexi Yexuan had ever studied hard, so her riding skills were not very good, and she could barely ride a horse better than the daughters of ordinary civil servants’ families. Some.

But the night was different. In her previous life, she was the treasure in the palm of Prime Minister Li. She was the queen concubine who had followed Mu Yuanche in battle, and she was the role model that made many women in Beijing want to learn equestrianism.The former Empress Xiaoyuan Li was a mountain in the hearts of all women, whom she looked up to and respected.

Because my brother was too nervous, he ran down the high platform unknowingly at night, staring at his brother who was still trying to calm the horse down.The nails were deep in the flesh, and because she was too nervous, Ye Ye didn't notice that Mu Yuanche's eyes had been locked on her since she ran down the high platform just now.
