Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 530 A Familiar Painting

Han Duyue was completely unaware of Princess An's actions. In the name of accompanying Princess Yuping, she had a good date with Song Ning in Princess An's other garden, and finally accompanied Princess Yuping back to Prince An's mansion. .

The reason why Han Duyue followed Princess Yuping directly back to Prince An's Mansion was because she was about to leave the capital, and Princess Yuping hoped that Han Duyue could spend more time with her.

This request was not excessive at all, so Han Duyue agreed almost without thinking about it. As for Song Ning, anyway, the two of them will spend a lot of time together in the future, so there is no rush for these few days.

And this time when returning home from the capital, Han Duyue would always bring back some specialties and gifts from the capital. Song Ning just took advantage of these few days to prepare all the things that should be prepared, so as to save herself from being in a hurry when she was about to leave.

When Han Duyue and Princess Yuping returned to Prince An's Mansion, it was already evening. Princess An probably knew that the two of them must be tired, so she specially sent Nanny Liu to pass on a message so that they would not have to go to Princess An's place again. Please be safe, just rest.

Han Duyue didn't want to see Princess An very much at first, and Princess Yuping didn't say that she wanted to go there, so the two had dinner in Princess Yuping's yard, took a walk for a while and rested.

However, on the second day, Han Duyue had to go with Princess Yuping to greet Princess An. After all, he was here as a guest, and the most basic etiquette was always indispensable.

When Han Duyue followed Princess Yuping into Concubine An's yard, Concubine An was painting, and the two were brought directly into the house, but they didn't dare to disturb Concubine An, so they could only stand aside and wait.

After about a quarter of an hour, Princess An finally raised her head, and looked softly at Princess Yuping: "How have you been these two days? You haven't neglected Miss Han, have you?"

Han Duyue hurriedly wanted to say no, but when she realized that she was speaking to Princess Yuping, she obediently shut up again. She is always cautious in front of Princess An, for fear that the other party will start to look down on her if she is unhappy.

Princess Yuping glanced at Han Duyue and said with a smile: "I shouldn't ask my concubine this, Xiaoyue is here, why don't you ask her yourself."

Princess Yuping naturally also saw that Han Duyue was a little afraid of Princess An, but as Princess An's daughter, Princess Yuping hoped that Han Duyue could get along better with her mother.

Now that Princess An has lost her initial grudge against Han Duyue, she puts her questioning eyes on her with a smile.

Han Duyue replied slightly cautiously: "I had a great time these two days. The other garden is very big and the scenery is beautiful. The princess also took good care of me. Thank you, Princess, for your concern, and thank you for your willingness to let me go." I'm going to visit such a beautiful place."

"Just have fun," Princess An nodded lightly, without asking any more questions, but pointed to the painting on the table, and beckoned to the two of them, "Come and see the painting I made casually."

Han Duyue glanced at Princess Yuping, and walked behind her. When she saw the contents of the painting on the table clearly, she couldn't help but stare in surprise.

Han Duyue couldn't tell whether Princess An's painting skills were good, so what surprised her was not the level of painting skills, but the scenes presented in the paintings.

This scene is so familiar, Han Duyue and Song Ning just strolled and frolicked in this familiar scene, and the memory is still fresh.

In a fiery red maple forest, two people stood side by side. One was wearing a light yellow dress, obviously a young woman, while the other was tall and straight, wearing a black brocade robe. A handsome young man.

Because the person who drew the painting was Princess An, and the content in the painting was the scene in Princess An's other garden, Han Duyue naturally made an association. Could the two people in this painting be Prince An and Princess An? ?

Soon, Princess Yuping answered the doubts in Han Duyue's heart: "I once heard my father mention that the first time my father and my concubine met was at the other side of the concubine mother who was once the royal palace. Yuanzhong, the painting by the concubine must be the scene at that time, right?"

When Princess An heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. She obviously didn't expect Princess Yuping to know these things: "When did your father mention this to you? Why didn't I know?"

The reason why Princess An made this painting was naturally because she thought of all kinds of things with Prince An, but she asked Princess Yuping and Han Duyue to look at this painting, but she just wanted to find someone to chat with. Just relieve your worries.

In Prince An's Mansion, apart from herself and Lord An, only Princess Yuping's daughter is left as the master of the Prince's Mansion.

"The father told me a lot before, about the things between the mother and the concubine in the past," Princess Yuping smiled lightly, and said with a bit of ridicule, "The father also told me that the reason why he asked the Holy Majesty That separate garden was given to Concubine Mu for this."

Princess An couldn't help being a little stunned by these words, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Princess Yuping glanced at the painting again, and said with a smile: "I just came back from that other garden, and the maple leaves are just right now. If the mother and concubine really miss the old days, why not go for a walk with my father again."

Concubine An only lost her composure for a moment, then came back to her senses, and said with a slight smile: "It's just a painting with nothing to do, it's not like what you said."

If Princess Yuping observed carefully, she would be able to see that Princess An's complexion was unnatural, but her eyes were all on the painting at the moment, so naturally she didn't notice it.

On the contrary, Han Duyue, who was standing aside, noticed some details, but he didn't dare to guess or say anything.

"My daughter just said it casually. As for what to do, it is up to the mother and concubine to make the decision." Princess Yuping blinked mischievously, then looked back at Han Duyue, with a slightly teasing look in her eyes, as if saying , "Look, I took you to a good place before, it's the place where my father and mother concubine made love."

Han Duyue didn't know how to react, so she could only lower her head silently.

Concubine An smiled and chatted with Princess Yuping for a few more words, then drove them back.

When she returned to Princess Yuping's courtyard, she beckoned the maid beside her to come over, and without avoiding Han Duyue, she asked directly, "I've been away for two days, what happened at the house?"

The maid glanced at Han Duyue and saw that Princess Yuping had a normal expression, so she replied in a low voice: "It seems that Li Shangshu sent a greeting card before, and wanted to come to apologize, and the princess agreed, but then somehow did not come."

"Aside from that, is there anything else?" Princess Yuping continued to ask.

"After Li Shangshu sent the greeting card, the concubine seemed to have met the prince in the study, but the servant did not know what she said specifically. Others, nothing happened." The maid said truthfully.

Princess Yuping nodded, and waved her hand to let the maid back down.

Only she and Han Duyue were left among the animals, and Princess Yuping finally expressed her doubts: "Xiaoyue, you just found out that there is something wrong with my mother and concubine, right?"

In front of Princess Yuping, Han Duyue didn't have any scruples, and immediately nodded frankly: "The princess seems to have something on her mind, maybe it has something to do with that painting?"

Princess Yuping was silent for a moment, and couldn't help sighing softly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Although my father and mother have always raised eyebrows, they seem to be very affectionate, but in fact, there are some things that are not understood by outsiders."

Now Han Duyue didn't know what to say. She knew that the back houses of many big families were very complicated, let alone Prince An's Mansion.

It's just that Concubine An is the mother of Princess Yuping after all, and Han Duyue has no position to comment, whether as a noble concubine or as an elder.

Princess Yuping obviously realized this, and waved her hand with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, are you going to find Mr. Song today?"

The situation between her and the second princess is actually somewhat similar. Although there are many people around, she can't find someone to confide in many concerns. Now that she finally has a real friend like Han Duyue, she naturally wants to confide in more .

"I will stay here with you for the next few days, and I will not go to him," Han Duyue couldn't grasp Princess Yuping's state of mind at this time, so he could only try his best to be considerate and authentic, "Although I may not be able to tell you what to do." What a great idea, but if you have anything to say to me, I'd love to hear it."

Princess Yuping smiled, and didn't say much at the time, but when she was lying on the bed with Han Duyue that night, she still couldn't help saying: "Actually, I think the father likes the mother and the concubine very much."

Han Duyue turned her head to look seriously at Princess Yuping, motioning for her to continue.

"I think the concubine mother cares about the royal father very much. When I was young, I lived with the concubine mother. Every time the servants said that the royal father was coming, the concubine mother would let the small kitchen carefully prepare the food that the royal father loved. I will also dress up carefully for the meals." Princess Yuping's voice is very soft, as if whispering, "But when the father and king really come, the mother and concubine will look different again. Every time at the In front of the father and king, the performance of the mother and the concubine is always indifferent, even if she can laugh, but I can see that the mother and the concubine are not smiling very happily."

Speaking of this, Princess Yuping paused for a while, smiled again, and then continued: "At that time, I didn't know why the concubine mother was like this, I thought she was a little afraid of the father like me, and that's why. "

Han Duyue felt that as a qualified listener, besides listening, she would occasionally respond, so she said, "So you were afraid of your father when you were young?"

Princess Yuping gave Han Duyue an angry look, but her tone lightened a little because of this: "Father has always been rough, and his voice is scary. Of course, I will be a little afraid of him. What's so funny?"
