Daughter's favorite concubine: Don't come here, the black-bellied prince

Chapter 21 Different Styles
"Eighth prince." Xinmeng called tentatively.

"Huh?" Xiao Lang shifted his eyes from the book of war to Xinmeng's face, his concentrated expression instantly changed to a laugh, and there was a lazy ending in his casual response.

The rapid change left Xinmeng dumbfounded.

"What's the matter?" He was still smiling and harmless to humans and animals.

"..." Xinmeng was startled again and again, and after a while, pointing to the book in his hand, he asked in a puzzled tone, "Are you reading military books?"

The style of the book of war and the title of King An Yi are not the same!

Hearing this, Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, threw the military book on the table casually, put his arms behind his head, and said helplessly: "You also think that the prince should not read the military book, right? It's a pity that the father and the old man don't I understand that every time I have an audience, I will be asked about my prince's art of war. This prince can hide as much as he can, but every year on his father's birthday, he can't escape, so he has to hold his feet temporarily, and count as much as he can remember."

This excuse... is quite reasonable.Xinmeng raised her head to look at the sky speechlessly, but she couldn't see the blue sky and white clouds, only the dense green crown of trees above her head.When the wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the mottled light and shadow leaking from the gaps in the leaves danced happily, and one of them happened to kiss her eyelid.

As a result, her neck showed a graceful curve, and her small and exquisite collarbone came down.

Xiao Lang squinted his eyes, and the end of his sight was a light blue blood vessel protruding from the white and delicate skin.

Is it time to apply?Xin was dreaming, and turned her eyes to Xiao Lang who was separated by a small wooden table, seeing him looking away as if startled, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Eighth Prince..." She only hesitated for a moment before he took the words.

"Well, what's the matter?" This time he answered quickly and anxiously, and Xin Meng couldn't help but feel a little bit of trying to cover up, and secretly guessed in his heart what he did just now that made him feel guilty.

"Dusk is approaching, the eighth prince should hurry back to the city, don't let the city gates close after the closing time." Xinmeng "rushed people away" with a concerned face, but she was actually worried that he would stay too late and she would have to let him stay overnight On Zhuangzi.

Although he is not a widow, except for the old Wang and his wife who take care of Zhuangzi, the rest are servants, and the serious master is only him and her.

Although this reputation is tiring, it cannot be ignored.She has always been the concubine of the general's mansion, and she has to think about the reputation of the general's mansion, and even more so, her boudoir's reputation.

Looking up at the sky quickly, Xiao Lang smiled and said: "Time flies so fast, before I know it, my prince has already been out for half a day. Thanks to Miss Shen's reminder, let's not live here. Yan Qing, let's go."

I thought he would linger for a while, but I didn't expect him to be so straightforward and save her a lot of tongues.

Xinmeng was overjoyed in her heart, she hurriedly got up and bowed to him, and said, "Respectfully send the eighth prince off. Song Chun, send the eighth prince out of the manor."

"The prince will visit Miss Shen some other day." He took a serious look at her, then turned and followed Song Chun.

He still coming?Xinmeng straightened up, staring at the back that was as tall as a jade tree and lost her mind.

"Miss, miss..." Songchun sent the eighth prince's master and servant out of the village, and when he came back, he saw Xinmeng still standing under the tree, his eyes were staring at something motionless, and he quickly stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes. few times.

"Songchun, tell me about the situation of the second young lady these days." Xinmeng said suddenly, and waved Songchun's annoying hand, her eyes that were still blank a moment ago became brighter.

"Ah?" Song Chun was taken aback, took a breath first, thought for a while, and said: "Yes, Miss. The second lady has been staying in the mansion these days and has never gone out. However, since Qiong After Honglian, the servant girl of Huayuan, went to Aunt Bai’s courtyard, Baoyue, Aunt Bai’s maid, delivered soup and medicine to Qionghuayuan every day. The maidservants have inquired about it, and it is said that the second lady does not sleep well at night and often has nightmares , Aunt Bai personally cooked the soothing soup."

Her concubine sister didn't sleep well and had nightmares, was it because of the sachet given by Lin Xian'er?
If the function of the sachet is only to affect the quality of sleep, then how to explain Liang Xiuyu's being sent out of the capital?

With the help of Zhenglong's emperor's grace, it is not too difficult for Liang Yun to let his daughter climb the big tree of the Seventh Prince.Unless Liang Yun had a good reason to send Liang Xiuyu away.

What is the reason for Liang Yun to give up becoming a relative of the emperor?
A series of questions made Xinmeng fall into contemplation. Her mind turned and turned, but she couldn't understand it. After a long time, she asked again: "Does Madam know about the fact that Aunt Bai made soothing soup for the second young lady?"

"None of the two courtyards sent anyone to report to Madam, Madam probably didn't know about it." Song Chun hurriedly replied, then shrank her neck in fright from the coldness on Xin Meng's face, and a ridiculous thought popped into her mind ——Missy wants to kill someone!

The mother and daughter didn't weigh themselves first, they really regarded themselves as the mistress and concubine of the general's mansion.

Xinmeng couldn't help being upset for a while, and suddenly thought of her uncle who hadn't been seen for a few days.Preparing the medicinal materials will not mean that there is no news at all, let her spend time alone in this village, and let Aunt Bai and her daughter dance around in the general's mansion.

Fortunately, my mother is not a weak person, so she won't worry about it.

"Go and see if Yingxia is awake. If not, stay and take care of her."

After dismissing Song Chun, Xin Meng picked up the residual tea on the table and took a sip.It was already early summer, but when she swallowed the tea, she felt a biting coolness penetrate into her heart.

After a stick of incense, she made up her mind to wait another two days on Zhuangzi.If Zhao Lin didn't show up after two days, she would go back home.After Zhao Lin has found all the medicinal materials, she will just come to live in Zhuangzi.

In the end, Zhao Lin really didn't show up!
Xinmeng didn't want to waste any more time, so she wrote a letter and asked a servant to take it back to the general's mansion to present to Zhao Dan'e, and sent a carriage to pick her up, while asking Songchun and Yingxia to pack up and leave immediately when the carriage arrived.

I don't want my servant to return, not only without a carriage, but also with a letter from Zhao Dan'e.In the letter, let Xinmeng rest in peace and not be impatient, stay in Zhuangzi for a few more days, and have the right to relax.Wait until the day before the prime minister's mansion holds the flowing water banquet, and then send a carriage to pick her back to the mansion.

There was also an invitation card written by Lin Xian'er in the envelope, inviting Xinmeng to attend the flowing water banquet five days later.

The Flowing Water Banquet is a banquet that must be held by the Prime Minister's Mansion every year, and all the guests are invited are young masters and young ladies from official families.The so-called flowing water banquet means placing many long tables in the garden, forming a circle, leaving a small gap.The young master or young lady sits together at a table, and a small copper bell and a small copper hammer are placed on the table.

After the banquet began, the servants lined up and carried plates of hot or cold dishes, as well as various staple foods, into the circle and slowly passed by the tables.When a young master or young lady takes a fancy to a certain food, they hold a hammer and ring the bell, and the servants at the table stop and scoop some of the food from the plate into the young gentleman's or young lady's bowls and plates.

From a simple banquet, you can often see the character and quality of a young man or young lady.
