Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 73 Throw it back (1)

Cuiwei's house is not big, and the slightly long and narrow room is separated by a huanghuali partition in the middle, with silk gauze curtains hung with ink and wash paintings. Li Tian took the green branches up the steps, stood at the door and looked in, the room was quiet In one piece, Li Tian stood at the door and called "A Ke" twice. Seeing that the room was still silent, he carefully stepped into the threshold with his skirt in his hand, and walked a few steps in with his heart in his hand. Where is Lin Ke's favorite hideout? Suddenly jumping out was scary, Li Tian stepped carefully all the way into the partition, but there was no one in the partition, Li Tian stood behind the partition and looked around, there was no way to hide anyone in this room, where is Lin Ke?

"Fifth lady!" Qing Zhi at the door let out a soft cry. Li Tian ran to the door with her skirt in two steps, only to see the fourth prince and two servants had turned out from behind the rockery. Zhi's cry, he turned his head and saw Li Tian running out.

Li Tian's heart sank violently, it was no coincidence, and it must not be Lin Ke who called her just now!
The fourth prince couldn't hide the surprise on his face, he rushed up the steps quickly, stopped in front of Li Tian, ​​opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, just looked at her with a pleasant smile on his face.Li Tian dexterously took half a step to the side, bypassing the fourth prince and was about to jump down the steps, but the fourth prince grabbed his arm and pulled him back: "Wait, I have something to tell you, don't leave yet."

Li Tian hurriedly patted the fourth prince's hand away, took half a step back, looked at the fourth prince vigilantly, the fourth prince hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, just say a few words, just talk." Li Tian seemed to be half relaxed He took a deep breath, took half a step back, and then half a step back, lightly shook the handkerchief hanging beside him twice, Qing Zhi stared at Li Tian's hand, saw the handkerchief shaking a few times, looked left and right, Lifting her skirt, she quietly stepped back down the steps, and took a few steps back. The two young servants of the fourth prince just kept their eyes on their noses and their hearts, as if they didn't hear or see anything. Wearing a skirt, he rushed out to call someone.

The fourth prince looked around, pointed at Cui Weiju and discussed softly: "Let's talk in the room, and it would not be good to stand here at the door so that people can see it from a distance." Li Tian lowered his eyebrows and bent his knees and said: "Last time the car broke down, thank you for your help, the fourth master. Now, if people see the lonely man and the widow, it's just a crime of love for the fourth master, and it's a ruin for the concubine. There is no place in this world, please Fourth master get out of the way."

"Don't worry, how can I let you damage your boudoir's reputation? It's not easy for me to see you, so I just want to say a few words to you. Let's talk in the room, just a few words." The fourth prince lowered his head, tenderly Looking at Li Tian tenderly, "Your hair has fallen." As he spoke, he raised his hand and wanted to lick a strand of hair at the corner of Li Tian's temple. Li Tian hurriedly took two steps back to avoid the fourth prince's attack. He hurriedly said: "Please respect Fourth Master!"

The raised hand of the fourth prince stopped in the air in embarrassment, but he couldn't help but follow a step: "I was reckless, let's talk in the room." Li Tian was already standing close to the threshold, so he had no choice but to step over the threshold and stand back. Arriving at the threshold of Cuiwei Residence, the Fourth Prince followed closely into the door, but turned his head vigilantly and asked, "Have you seen the inside?" Li Tian didn't say a word, expecting him to go in and take a look, You can take the opportunity to jump out of the door and escape, but the fourth prince asked Li Tian, ​​and before she could answer, he chuckled softly and said: "I'm confused, are you okay these few days?"

"If you have anything to say, fourth master, please speak quickly. Spreading such outrageous things outside will harm fourth master's reputation." Li Tian said sullenly, the fourth prince looked at her with perfect eyes, and comforted her softly Said: "Don't worry, no one will know, you are as beautiful when you are angry as when you are smiling. It is really beautiful."

"What exactly is Fourth Master going to say?" Li Tian was impatient, but the fourth prince didn't seem to hear her words, and just looked down at her hand and the handkerchief in her hand, which was still the same plain white as last time , the corners are embroidered with light green broken flowers, and the four corners are embellished with four translucent emerald beads. The fourth prince couldn't help but reach out and pinch the emerald beads in the corner of the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Your handkerchief must be decorated with beads. Yes? The pearls adorned last time, and the emerald beads this time are also very good."

Li Tian pulled back the handkerchief forcefully, and looked anxiously behind the rockery.

In the rocky mountains outside Cuiwei's residence, in a cave far away, the Fifth Prince was bent over, squatting and half standing in a strange posture in a small cave with a height of half a person, looking through the gap between the jagged rocks , excitedly looking in the direction of Cuiweiju, but unfortunately it is too far away to see clearly, it would be nice if I could get closer.

"Don't be afraid." The fourth prince couldn't see anything else in his eyes: "I just want to talk to you. I don't usually talk to people. The nuns said that I was like this when I was young. I often kept silent for most of the day. Even Ah Mother also said that I cherish words like gold, I just don't want to talk to them, and I don't know why, I just want to talk to you."

Li Tian was so miserable listening, he glanced at the small path outside Cuiwei's house and said: "Fourth Master is really interesting, you and I have never met each other, and we have never even met twice, how do you know that I am someone who can listen to you? Isn't fourth master afraid of trusting others?"

"Who said I haven't seen you a few times?" The fourth prince counted down with a smile: "We met once last year, and that was the first time. You were still dressed in filial piety and dressed in plain white. You are really like a fairy outside the world. The second time Come back, you and those ladies played Bijian Liuquan, the elegance is fascinating, you were wearing a light lilac dress that day, it was really beautiful, at the Jiang Jiawen meeting, I was on the boat on your shore, I met Qianer outside the city by chance, Today is the fifth time." Li Tian was startled, and subconsciously took half a step back, the fourth prince looked down at her, and suddenly reached out to pull off the handkerchief in her hand, Li Tian was caught off guard, and was snatched by him Going to the handkerchief, he quickly raised his hand to snatch it, the fourth prince turned sideways, and within a few steps, the two had already changed their positions, the fourth prince leaned against the door of the flower pavilion and faced into the house, Li Tian didn't dare to go forward to fight again, and stepped back He took half a step and looked at him very vigilantly.

The fourth prince slipped the handkerchief into his sleeves, lowered his head and untied a piece of yellow jade dragon pendant around his waist, handed it to Li Tian and said softly: "This jade pendant was given to me by my father on the day of my coronation ceremony, you take it and don't worry , I will send someone to come to propose marriage." Li Tian would not accept the jade pendant, subconsciously took a step back and said: "The quality of Puliu will not be able to enter the Royal Jade Hall, please let me go and forgive..." Before she could finish speaking, the door The servant from outside reported in a deep voice: "Master, someone is coming." Annoyance appeared on the fourth prince's face, obviously very annoyed at this person.He strode forward, stretched out his hand to grab Li Tian's hand, put the jade pendant into her palm, bent her fingers to pinch the jade pendant, held the jade pendant tightly between his hands and said: "I'm leaving, put the jade pendant away, don't worry about it." Let people see." The fourth prince looked down at Li Tian, ​​suddenly took Li Tian's hand and bowed his head to kiss, let go of his hand and hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, striding towards the path opposite the rockery.

Li Tian let out a long breath, and stretched out his hand to support the door of the flower pavilion, only feeling that his legs were soft.

Yue Niang jumped into the house from behind the rockery, looked Li Tian up and down and said, "It's okay, everything is fine."

"You didn't save me just looking at me?" Li Tian pointed at Yue Niang and was furious, Yue Niang spread her hands and said, "How to save me? Those two boys are good at skills, and there are two more on the other side of the rockery. If there is only one, I will rush." Go out and lay down, and make sure there is no noise. There are four in total. If I rush over, I will fight. Do you want me to fight with them? That is the prince. I will rush out and fight well. Take me as an assassin? Besides, don’t you have nothing to do?”

Li Tian knew that what she said was the truth, but the grievance and anger in his stomach had nowhere to vent, he looked down at the jade pendant in his hand and said anxiously: "What should I do with this thing?"

"It's a good piece of jade. It's not easy if you don't want it. You can just throw it away." Yue Niang glanced at it and suggested. Li Tian took a deep breath and looked at Yue Niang speechlessly. , This is something that can be thrown casually!
"They're here." Yue Niang reminded, Li Tian hurriedly shoved the jade pendant into his sleeves, behind the rockery, Qing Zhi rushed ahead, Jiang Shan and Xu Jie followed behind half-walking and half-running, with a slight look on their faces. redness.

Seeing Yueniang and Li Tian standing at the door of Cuiweiju with peaceful expressions, Qing Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, her ankle gave way, and she staggered forward two steps, Jiang Shan panted slightly, looked at Li Tian and smiled Said: "What good thing is that? Qingzhi just ran with her head stretched out, asking her what kind of good thing made her so anxious? She didn't say anything." Xu Jie followed behind, panting and stopped at the bottom of the steps , kept fanning the wind with a handkerchief.

"There is a golden sparrow, with a long tail and a long tail. I don't know where it came from. I want you to come over and see if you recognize it. Unfortunately, it has already flown away." Li Tian squeezed his sleeves subconsciously. The jade pendant inside laughed.

"There's a golden sparrow? Maybe it's raised by Ake's family." Jiang Shan turned her head around in amazement, Xu Jie also looked around, Yue Niang stared at Li Tian without saying a word, Li Tian went down the steps , and the two walked back, shaking their heads and said: "It doesn't look like a domestic bird, it looks very gorgeous."

The jade pendant in his sleeve was heavy and uncomfortable, Li Tian talked to the two of them restlessly, passed the rockery, and did not go far, when he suddenly stopped, looked at the two of them and said embarrassedly: "You two, Mrs. Go back, I have to...go and clean my hands." The two agreed with a smile, and took the maids to go back, Li Tian took Yue Niang and Qing Zhi to the side path for a few steps, turned a corner, Yue Niang looked at Li Tian and said : "Have you figured out a way?"

"En." Li Tian responded casually, standing and carefully calculating the layout of Nanning County Prince's Mansion. To entertain the Fourth Prince, he must choose the place with the best view in the garden, which should be near Jingyun Pavilion. Li Tian thought again After a while, he took Yueniang and Qingzhi along a secluded path full of flowers and trees, and hurried towards Jingyun Pavilion not far from Cuiwei's residence.

"What should I do?" Yue Niang's eyes flashed with excitement, she jumped in front of Li Tian and asked back, Li Tian said in a deep voice: "What can we do? Go back, since he is here, this year's flower festival must be connected Wenhui, since it is a Wenhui, he must not be the only one coming to this mansion."

"Are you talking about this, are you Princess Jiangjun?" Yue Niang and Li Tian stood side by side, frowned and asked in a low voice. Li Tian's face was gloomy, and he walked in silence for a while before replying in a low voice: " Who else could it be? The joint that played Bijian Liuquan last time is here, alas!" Li Tian's sigh was unspeakable, Yue Niang thought for a while, and suddenly understood: "This means that she has I started to plan this matter? You, aunt, why do you still want to get you into a high school? I heard that this aunt was also picked by your grandmother, how did you pick such a person?"

"It would be nice to pick someone like the king of Nanning County who can climb up to Jiang's house in Nanyang." Li Tian couldn't see any expression on his face: "If she didn't have shallow eyes and was greedy for the dignity of the princess, how could she be willing to marry? How ineffective for the Nanning County King? Now that the Nanning County King is old and restless, what is the difference between him and Qingjiang Hou Shizi when he was young? Grandma can't help it either."

"Oh, yes, no matter what, she is better than Mrs. Xu. At least she manages her own house fairly clearly. I think she is a bit overconfident. She always wants to meddle in the big things outside. How can she have that ability?" Yue Mother was born in Jianghu, so she didn't value the Fourth Prince and the jade pendant at all, but you like me, so I don't like you, what's the big deal?The focus of her attention soon shifted from the jade pendant to the gossip about Nanning County Prince's Mansion. Li Tian patted her and said, "Listen carefully to the movement, don't bump into anyone."

"Well, there's no one, let's go." Yue Niang quickly put away her gossip, listened intently to the movement around her, and walked forward side by side with Li Tian, ​​Qing Zhi lifted her skirt and trotted along behind her on her toes.
