Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 100 The Uninvited Guest

November 26th was Lin Ke's Jiji ceremony, and Princess Jiang only invited a few close relatives to the house to watch the ceremony.

As soon as everyone arrived and the ceremony had not yet begun, Mother Bai hurried along the verandah to the door of the flower hall where guests were treated, with a hint of panic on her face. The girl came over and gave a few low-key instructions. The little girl gave Nanny Bai a strange look, but she didn't dare to disobey. She carried her skirt and ran up the steps briskly. After a while, Princess Jiang came out with the little girl and went down the steps. , Bai Momo rushed up to greet her and reported in a low voice: "Princess, it's terrible, the fourth and fifth masters are here, and the master and the second master have gone to the main hall first, do you see?"

Princess Jiang's face turned blue: "What are they doing here? How do you say it?"

"I heard that the second lady is congratulating Ji today. Our uncle is not at home, so we can't do the gift of an elder brother. They come to see, and they are also doing the gift of an elder brother for our uncle." Bai Nao smiled wryly: "This is the ceremony of reaching the Ji. , how can there be any elder brother's gift? Isn't it so clear how good it is, our eldest girl is still practicing Buddhism in Puji Temple."

"Don't be afraid." After a long pause, Princess Jiang managed to calm down: "It's all here, what can I do? Dongyang County's mansion can't be offended, and this master can't be offended." Princess Jiang took a light breath. : "He came here uninvited, what can we do? Last time we were wrong first, I gritted my teeth and confessed about the eldest sister and Da Lang, what can we do this time? Even if there is anything to do today, we will not It doesn't matter, if he dares to do anything to Dongyang County Palace, I will tear up this face and talk to Fourth Master, I don't believe that Dongyang County Palace dares to offend Fourth Master."

"That's true, the Dongyang County Palace is so arrogant because of the noble concubine and the fourth master." Bai Nao hurriedly continued, Jiang Jun Princess's words were tough, but her heart was not so hard, and the knuckles of the hand holding the handkerchief were a little numb. Bai looked at the main hall in front of him and stayed there for a while, pressed his fingers tremblingly on his temples, and rubbed vigorously: "What is this? A Ke's consecration ceremony, he came here specially to see A Ke's consecration ceremony? If this is If it is passed on, what is it? He is the one who is negotiating marriage, if someone misunderstands him, wouldn't it be an offence? How will Ake negotiate marriage in the future?"

Bai Momo understood half of what she heard, and looked at Concubine Jiangjun with a startled expression, yes, he is an unmarried man, so he came here specially to see the second lady's marriage ceremony, what is it?What do people think?
"There's still the fifth master, and the fifth master is here too. It's better for the two masters to come together than one." Bai Nanny seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, Jiangjun Princess sighed heavily, and let go of the redness that had been rubbed. Looking at Nanny Bai, she said: "Go on, don't mention a word about A Ke and Jili, just say that the fourth master and the fifth master are here to talk to Erlang, no, no, no, just say they are here to find Erlang Lord, look for some old books, and go to the library behind us to find some old books. You go in person, and tell them one by one, if anyone dares to chew their tongues, they will be killed immediately!" Bai Momo hurriedly agreed, Jiangjun Wangfei Taking a deep breath and exhaling a few times, the anger and confusion on his face calmed down, and he went back to the flower hall steadily.

Li Tian was talking to Yu Yaofang, Jiang Shan, and others. When Lin Ke came out after changing out of his heavy dress, Yin Hua hurried over from a distance and winked at Li Tian from a distance. The branch came out, turned a corner, Yinhua looked left and right, jumped over in two steps, and said anxiously and angrily: "The master is here." The smile on Li Tian's face froze: "How do you know? "

"I was talking to Biyu, and Mother Bai came over and asked Biyu to get the key to the library at the back, saying that the fourth master is here and wants to look for some old books in the library at the back." Yinhua hurriedly explained, and Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief : "This is Mother Bai delivering a letter to us. It seems that this time it is an unexpected visitor."

"Then what should we do?" Yinhua looked at Li Tian and asked, Li Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, "Let's go back now."

"Let's go back now?" Qingzhi frowned and said, "Would it be bad? Seeing that the banquet is about to start, how abrupt it is for us to leave like this."

"It's better to leave." Li Tian lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at the two of them and explained: "Since we are uninvited guests, the princess has sent us a letter, so she wants us to leave quickly. Think about it, today is Ake’s birthday ceremony, but such an unexpected guest came, and the outsiders didn’t know why he came, so it must be taken for granted that he came for Ake’s wedding ceremony, and Ake became a scapegoat. I don't know which family I'm going to offend, and it might affect Sister Wen's marriage proposal with A Ke, so we have to leave quickly, and when we leave, he will leave too."

"Yeah, what Fifth Lady said is absolutely right, then let's go quickly, Fifth Lady, do you want to tell those little ladies?" Yin Hua hurriedly nodded in agreement, Li Tian shook his head and said: "No, you go and talk to Wangfei Let me just say that I blew a cold wind, and the old illness from a while ago suddenly relapsed, so I have to go back to take medicine quickly, so I won’t say goodbye to her, and then I will call Yue Niang, and go directly to the second gate.” Yin Hua agreed, and Li Tian took the green branches, and without even taking the cloak in time, picked a path under the forest rockery that was not easy to be seen by others, and hurried out to the second gate.

The two of them were extremely vigilant along the way, they saw that they had turned around the tall rockery in front of them and left the back garden. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of footsteps, Qingzhi froze, and turned her head to look at Li Tian. Li Tian raised his hand and pointed to the rockery at the back, then, holding his skirt and tiptoes, he burrowed into the rockery cave behind.Qingzhi looked left and right, hesitated for a while, and continued to walk forward.

Before she could calm down, Lin Yangwen came face to face with the fourth and fifth princes.The fifth prince recognized Qing Zhi at a glance, it was the girl who threw the jade pendant in front of him, the fifth prince's eyes flicked from Qing Zhi, and he turned around to look for Li Tian, ​​the fourth prince took a look at Qing Zhi, Turning around and asking Lin Yangwen, "This girl looks familiar." Lin Yangwen hurriedly bowed and introduced to the fourth prince: "This is the girl of Li's cousin, her name is Qingzhi, Qingzhi, come here!"

Qing Zhi seemed to be shrinking and didn't dare to approach, lowered her eyebrows and bent her knees, the fourth prince looked at her gently, raised his hand and smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, you are not serving by Fifth Lady, why are you here? "

"If you want to return to the master, the servant girl will go to the kitchen to get some snacks for the ladies under the order of the mother." Qingzhi replied respectfully, Lin Yangwen's face turned red, and he didn't know whether to explain or reprimand: "The house is good. There are so many girls and women, how can I let you come and go for refreshments? Who ordered this?"

Qingzhi looked at Lin Yangwen in panic, as if he was too scared to answer. The fifth prince looked at Qingzhi who was panicking and cowering, and raised his eyebrows with great interest. The fourth prince looked back at Lin Yangwen, and the fifth prince rolled his eyes halfway. In the circle, he suddenly interjected: "It's such a cold day, I don't have the elegance of fourth brother, you go shopping, I'll go to the warm pavilion over there to have a rest, I didn't sleep well last night." The fifth prince yawned exaggeratedly : "Fourth brother is done shopping, let someone come over and call me, I will go and squint for a while."

"Look at you, are you so sleepy? Oh, you go, please accompany Erlang." The fourth prince looked helplessly at the fifth prince and replied, then turned around and ordered Lin Yangwen, Lin Yangwen was stunned: " The fourth master?"

"I'll just take a stroll around here, and I'll go to the Nuan Pavilion for a while. You go there first." The fourth prince's tone was gentle but indisputable. Lin Yangwen agreed to accompany the fifth prince to the Nuan Pavilion behind the rockery.

The fourth prince watched the two walk away, then turned around, looked at Qing Zhi and asked in a gentle voice: "Where is your fifth lady?" Qing Zhi shook his head and said, "When the maidservant is called out, , Our fifth lady, the Yu family lady, and the Jiang family lady said that they want to go to the garden, but the servant girl doesn't know where he went."

"Oh." The fourth prince was slightly disappointed, paused for a while, lowered his head and thought for a while before ordering: "Go, go and invite the fifth lady over here." The fourth prince hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Just say, I If you have something to tell her, if it's very important, please ask her to come over." Qingzhi lowered her eyebrows and bent her knees obediently, then stepped back a few steps, turned around and went into the garden.

The fourth prince looked left and right, walked to the side flower stand with his hands behind his back, looked at the direction where the green branches disappeared, and waited a little restlessly.

Li Tian stuck in the fake cave, not daring to vent his breath, and listened intently to the movement outside with his ears sideways.

Not far from the Nuan Pavilion behind the rockery, the fifth prince suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lin Yangwen and said, "I still have to trouble Erlang, is there Liuxia in the house?"

"It just so happens that my father loves Liuxia Wine from Qingfeng Tower the most. I just bought a few bottles back." Lin Yangwen replied with a smile on his face. The Fifth Prince unexpectedly gave an 'uh', and then asked: "The Yutang Spring Wine?"

"I'm not ready for this, so I'll let someone buy it." Lin Yangwen replied courteously, and the fifth prince hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm really ashamed to say that, I'm a bit picky about the name on this wine, the Yutangchun wine that Qingfenglou usually sells out The taste is still a lot worse, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Erlang to go there personally, find shopkeeper Min in the Qingfeng Building, and ask him to fetch a few bottles of the wine I usually drink.” Although Lin Yangwen couldn’t figure out why he had to come here in person I went there, but I didn't dare to ask more questions, so I hurriedly bowed and agreed: "No trouble, no trouble, I'll go right away, and I'll be back in a while."

The fifth prince watched him walk away in a hurry, his brows twitched a few times in satisfaction, winked at the servant, looked around, then slipped back quietly with his back bent.The fifth prince was walking back with his back bent, while looking around for a suitable place where he could hide and peek.

Not far from the fourth prince's place, the fifth prince saw a cave at a glance. The entrance of the cave was facing the Nuan Pavilion, and the other side was facing the direction of the fourth prince. He rushed into the fake cave, Li Tian was standing close to the cave wall, when he saw the Fifth Prince ducking in with his head bowed, his eyes were wide open.The fifth prince entered the cave, straightened up in satisfaction, blinked his eyes, got used to the darkness in the cave, turned half his body, saw Li Tian at a glance, and stood there dumbfounded.
