Uncle Nine

Chapter 187 Prince Rui's face is invulnerable

The plum blossoms in Maowang Mansion give people the illusion of walking into a ten-mile peach forest. For a moment, Xia Yu thought that if it snowed, it would look even better and make people linger.

The flowers are blooming gorgeously, layer upon layer, and the eyes are white and pink.

"It's so beautiful." Xia Yu let go of Zhao Shuo's hand, and walked under the plum tree involuntarily, "I've never seen such a beautiful plum blossom, a blue plum blossom! It's really strange, why is it blue?"

"Do you like it?" Zhao Shuo stood side by side with her under the blue plum blossom tree.

Light green plum blossoms, a touch of blue, if the color is accidentally smudged by the gods, spread out lightly, slowly fainting a large area.

Xia Yu nodded again and again, "It looks good!"

He only heard a "click", and he had broken the branch in his hand, and handed the plum blossom to her with a smile, "Take it if you like it!"

Seeing Zhao Shuo's behavior at first, Xia Yu was also taken aback. Didn't it mean that the plum blossoms in this yard were planted by Mao Wang Zhao Yu himself?Ordinary people would think it was inappropriate to break it so easily, but Zhao Shuo took it for granted.

Xia Yuzhong stared blankly at Zhao Shuo, and then looked at the plum blossom in his hand but didn't dare to take it.

Had Zhao Laojiu's head been kicked by a donkey?Or forget to wipe your mouth when you go out, accidentally eat too much, let the lard blind you?Didn't you see that King Mao's face changed?

Whoops, this is a precious thing on the tip of my heart, it was broken off so easily, it's no wonder if I don't feel distressed so much!
Sure enough, Zhao Yu stepped forward with a stiff face, but because of Zhao Shuo's face, he still kept a very forced smile, "Ninth brother, this——"

Zhao Shuo seemed to have come back to his senses just now, raised his eyebrows towards Xia Yu, his peach blossom eyes slightly slanted sideways, his lips curled into a wicked smile, "Why don't you thank Lord Mao soon?"

Xia Yu frowned, it was clearly your own fault, and now you want to implicate me?
But—although Xia Yu was unwilling in her heart, she still saluted, "Thank you, King Mao Qiansui."

Zhao Yu opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

This is good, the dumb eats coptis.In front of Zhao Shuo, he didn't like to get angry, but seeing his beloved plum blossom being broken off so easily by Zhao Shuo, he felt very uncomfortable.

I am still reluctant to break two branches, this is - my heart hurts.

After thinking about it, he still felt——

"There are still some cumbersome things in my house, I still need to leave for a while, Ninth Brother, look—" Zhao Yu smiled.

Xia Yu could see it, it was clear that he was going to issue an order to evict the guests.

But who is Zhao Shuo?Who dares to order him to leave easily, as long as Zhao Shuo is unwilling to leave, no one can do anything to him.What's more - Zhao Laojiu's face is thick, it is a copper-skinned iron bone that has been worn for decades, and his face is too thick to be cut by a knife.

"Okay, then I'll walk around by myself, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Shuo smiled slightly, stuffed the plum blossoms into Xia Yu's hands, and walked among the plum gardens with his hands behind his back.

Now that the words have been spoken, Zhao Yu can be regarded as riding a tiger.It's good now, it's not good to go, it's not good to not go.

Come on, with a heartbeat, I still stepped out of the gate of the plum garden.

When you look at the gate, you are out of sight and out of mind.The plum is broken, and it will be pruned by myself at that time.Although he comforted himself in this way, when he thought of the plum blossom in Zhao Shuo's hand, his heart still ached.

Zhao Yu has no other great hobbies, and he devoted himself to serving these plum blossoms every year, which was almost all of his painstaking efforts.

Alas——who let Zhao Laojiu stand on the stall, the gods are also embarrassed!

However, it can be seen from this that Zhao Shuo really liked and doted on that servant named Xia Yu.When Xia Yu said a word, Zhao Shuo did it desperately, knowing the relationship between the two without even thinking about it.

"Master, why did you come out?" Sun Qi was stunned, "In the plum garden——"

"What nonsense!" Zhao Yu covered his heart as if holding his heart together, "It hurts me to death."

"What's the matter, sir?" Sun Qi hurriedly supported him, "What's wrong? I'm going to tell the doctor right away."

"What doctor!" Zhao Yu yelled angrily with red eyes, "Is it a pity that I didn't see you? Ouch, my plum blossom—from tomorrow, the gates of Prince Mao's Mansion will be closed, no matter who comes, they are not allowed to open the gate."

As he said that, a big man was so distressed that he whimpered slightly.

Sun Qi nodded again and again, "Yes!"

In the plum garden, Zhao Shuo and Xia Yu strolled in the sea of ​​plum blossoms.

"Plum blossoms are the most beautiful in Prince Mao's Mansion. Compared with the plum blossoms in Baimei Mountain, they are a little more delicate and less willful. Look at the neat ones, all pruned by King Mao himself." Zhao Shuo Turning to look at her, "There are second-degree plums here, and we can bloom again in spring."

Xia Yu smiled, sniffed the plum blossoms in her hands, "You are not afraid of being distressed, you dare to break plum blossoms in front of Lord Mao."

"How about zhemei, if you like it, I'll ask him what he can do if he wants this plum garden?" Zhao Shuo smiled slightly, looking at her slightly frozen red nose.Today's weather is a bit cold. He stretched out his hands to close her body, and straightened her shawl, "Is it cold?"

She shook her head, "It's not cold."

He took her and sat down in the pavilion in the center of the plum garden, looking around, a sea of ​​white and pink flowers, so charming.

The next moment, Xia Yuzhong was stunned.

He had already stuffed her hand into his arms.Her hands were very cold, just touching his hot skin, not to mention him, she also shuddered.The long eyelashes suddenly raised, she stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, suddenly didn't know what to say.

Zhao Shuo in front of him was still lazy and elegant. He sat there, looking at the beautiful scenery around him as if nothing had happened, as if he was admiring it, and didn't put any thoughts on her at all.Even, he refused to look at her directly.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu was about to pull it out.

But he covered the skirt of his clothes all of a sudden, lowered his eyebrows to meet her clear and hesitant eyes, and smiled lightly, "If you don't want to freeze to death, don't move!"

"Actually, I'm not cold." She has long been used to warming herself alone.

"Well, I'm hot." At this moment, a shocking peach blossom rain fell on the charming peach blossom eyes.That gorgeous color is coquettish and eye-catching, as if the sea of ​​plum blossoms all over the sky has been eclipsed.In her eyes, in her world, there is only this man with beautiful peach blossom eyes in front of her.Proudly warm, willful giving.

This is a black-bellied fox, he will slowly attack your heart, slowly erode your reason, and finally swallow your soul in one bite.What's even more frightening is that in the end, you were willing to let him devour you.

The strategy for attacking the enemy is to attack the heart.

This is Zhao Shuo.

She smiled lightly, and pressed her forehead against his chest, "You said that if one day, you want to drive me away, will I be reluctant?"

He didn't change his face, and remained calm and calm, "It's right to be reluctant, if you can easily give up, then wouldn't you have raised a white-eyed wolf?"

"You are the wolf." She raised her head, pursing her lips in protest.After thinking about it, she frowned and asked, "You said just now that there is another use for this plum blossom? What else is it for? You didn't finish talking."

With Zhao Shuo's slender hands, he gently stroked the wind-blown hair on her face, "What do you think is useful?"

Xia Yu shook her head, "I don't understand these things."

"Go back and think about it. If it's all punctured, then your head is growing in vain?" Zhao Shuo sighed softly, "Sometimes, be careful. Master can't protect you all the time, understand?"

She nodded, "I know."

"The situation in Beijing and China is complicated, and now many forces are about to move. The master spoils you, and the pros and cons are equal to you. Understand?" He asked in a low voice.

Xia Yu took a deep breath, "I understand that if you spoil me, you will probably push me to the forefront. Some people are afraid of me because you are behind me. Some people want to use me because of you. But I am not afraid, some people want to use me You, don't you also prove that you still have value to be used? If a person has no value to be used by others, what use do you think he is?"

Zhao Shuo smiled, "You think clearly."

"That's natural. If you can't think about it everywhere, then there are nine out of ten difficult things in the world. Don't you want to die every day?" Xia Yu pulled out her hand, stood up slowly, and looked at the sea of ​​plum blossoms that were as bright as clouds. Smile sweetly.

Letting out a long breath, Zhao Shuo stood behind her, admiring the undisturbed beauty together with her.

Xia Yu feels that being able to be with the person she likes is a rare beauty even though the grass is long.Because I feel happy in my heart, everywhere I see is a pleasant scenery.

Because some people, no one can replace.

When carrying the colorful plum blossoms out of the gate of Prince Mao’s mansion, Xia Yu took a sneak peek at Prince Mao who was standing inside the door wiping tears, and laughed inwardly, but——Zhao Shuozhe, no one could do anything about it.

It's all folded, so why not put it back?

King Mao also knew the general situation, and pushed the boat along the way, but it was broken, so he simply gave Zhao Shuo a favor.

Zhao Shuo's face is naturally very thick, even if King Mao is not willing to give it away, he has no intention of giving it back.It's a good sentence, it's really itchy, and I'm so happy.Brother Huang, this plum blossom is truly a treasure in the world.He easily covered up the fact that he had lost the plum, and said it so confidently.

Before leaving, Zhao Shuo said: In the spring of next year, I will score twice, come back then!
Scared Prince Mao's face into green plum, it was not until the carriage of Prince Rui's mansion left for a long time that he sat down on the steps in front of the mansion, his eyes were red with tears from the pain.

Since then, the gate of Prince Mao's Mansion has been closed, and people only smell its fragrance but not its plum blossoms.

Whoops, this is really heartbreaking.

Inside the carriage, there is an elegant fragrance, and the plum fragrance is overflowing.

"Didn't you see Prince Mao's face?" Xia Yu snickered, "He's turned pale, and you're still talking sarcasticly. That sentence, come back at that time, don't scare him into sickness .”

"He doesn't dare to be sick, isn't he afraid that Grandpa will come to visit again and uproot the plum blossoms in the backyard?" Zhao Shuo glanced at the plum blossoms in her arms.

There are a large pile of plum blossoms of all kinds, so many varieties, not one is missed.But after thinking about it, everyone would feel distressed for half a year, and in the future, whenever they think about it, they will still feel distressed.

Even if you are not a fan of plum blossoms, it will be difficult for your own flowers to be picked by others.

Xia Yu laughed out loud, "Are you really planning on his plum blossoms?"

"Why didn't I expect to plant plum blossoms in Yangxin Pavilion?" Zhao Shuo sighed softly, looking at the plum blossoms in Xia Yu's hands with great interest.

When she got out of the car and entered Prince Rui's Mansion, the bunch of plum blossoms in Xia Yu's hand made Luo Hua startle from ear to ear for a long time, "My lord, blue plum blossoms? Pink, white, really—— they're so beautiful! The prince treats you so well! I have grown up so much, I have never seen a blue plum blossom!"

Li Huan frowned and glanced at the plum blossom in Xia Yu's hand, then exchanged glances with Zhao Shuo, and then lowered his head.

Carefully took the vase and put the plum blossoms in the vase, the fragrance of plum blossoms all over the room diffused quietly.The cold wind blew against the window lattice, making creaking noises, as if there was another snow wind.

Luo Hua was gossiping aside, "My lord, have you heard? Today I went to the street to buy silk thread, and I heard some gossip, saying that it was the other side of Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, who planned to let Mrs. Hou go through the door, and had already started planning the wedding. Although There are no good days at the end of the year, but there are still some squeezes, even if they are not very good, they are still passable."

As soon as this was said, Xun Mei, who was wiping her sword aside, put her sword back into its sheath, walked up to Luo Hua, thought about it with her elbow, and signaled her not to talk too much.Can the matter of Zhenyuanhou's mansion be mentioned casually?
Others don't know, but the few of them know it well.

There is nothing else in Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, but there are many white-eyed wolves.

Luo Hua was startled, and subconsciously pursed her lips, "Master, I—"

"What else?" Xia Yu looked at the plum blossoms in the vase, sniffed them nonchalantly, then put them in front of Zhao Shuo's desk, looked at them carefully, and felt more at ease the more she looked at them.

No one dared to say anything behind them.

Xia Yu turned her head, "Continue talking."

"My lord, I always listen to nonsense." Luo Hua bit her lip.

"It's okay. It's better to know than not to know. I'd rather be a fool than be confused." Xia Yu stretched her waist and leaned on the soft couch with her legs crossed. "Continue talking!"

Luo Hua took a look at Xunmei, and then said softly, "I also heard that because of Shuying's miscarriage, our master sent something to Zhenyuanhou's mansion in private. Now Shuying is about to become the little lord. The concubine's room, I will marry the concubine with me."

At the end, Luo Hua's voice almost fell into the dust.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing exactly what role Xia Yu played in this conspiracy.A solid stepping stone, a solid stepping board.Just like that, Shuying stepped on Xia Yu's shoulders and took the position of the concubine of the Marquis of Zhenyuanhou.

A woman who claimed to be deeply in love and disdainful of fame and status, kept her promise without asking or asking, and got the status of concubine for nothing.At that time only Xia Yu was present, and Xia Yu was from Prince Rui's residence, so many people speculated about this matter and it was difficult to answer it.

What the truth is, only the authorities can know.

"Despicable and shameless!" Xunmei gnashed her teeth, "Young master, you—"

"Don't mess around." Xia Yu raised her head, "Don't touch her."

It's not that she doesn't know Xunmei's thoughts, but whether it's public or private, it's extremely unwise to move Shuying now.There are so many people in Jianghu, but now she has to think twice.

This is Prince Rui's residence, everyone knows that she is Prince Rui's servant.

So - no matter what, she will not act rashly and add unnecessary trouble to Zhao Shuo.

It's just a concubine's room, and there's Mrs. Hou Ye on top!
Holding the sword in his arms, Anu said coldly, "Mrs. Marquis, chosen by the princess, is not an easy role. You can rest assured!"

Having said that, Luo Hua nodded again and again, "It's about what kind of person the princess is. Now that she wants to marry Daxia far away, the first thing to do is to marry the Marquis of Zhenyuan, although taking a concubine is a last resort. It’s true, but Mrs. Hou, who brought in the sedan chair eight times, is the real mistress of Zhenyuan Hou’s mansion. No matter how powerful Shuying is, she has to be inferior. Now everyone in the capital knows that the princess is still There are many rules for the Hou Mansion, the most important of which is that the Xie family cannot divorce their wives!"

"So, no matter how much Shuying struggles, she will always be a concubine." Xunmei suddenly smiled, her smile was so cold and cold, "It's a pity, such a good method, such a beautiful figure, after all, she is just a concubine. Tsk Tsk tsk, this is called retribution!"

"Okay, don't talk about it." Xia Yu took a deep breath, "We don't care about her affairs, but you are not allowed to hide the news about the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion from me." She thought for a while, turned her head to look at Anu, "How about Old Man Xin? Can an antidote be developed?"

Anu shook his head, "I don't know."

Xia Yu sat up all of a sudden, "What happened to Shaofu's residence?"

"Not yet." Xunmei replied.

Scratching the back of her neck, Xia Yu sighed softly and spat, "This damn Yingniang, I have to deal with her sooner or later."

"I don't know if they are also related to the Black Demon League." Xunmei's eyes were serious, "Young master, if they are also related to the Black Demon League, I am afraid that you can do it alone. Think about it, Dai Zhou The matter of the mansion is related to the Heisha League, and Yingniang is also involved with the matter of the Daizhou mansion. But these people have mixed up with Utopia, and this series of thoughts seems a bit unusual."

Xia Yu nodded, and looked at her helplessly, "Of course I know it's unusual, but we have to have evidence. Who will believe us when we speak empty words? Besides, they are still fascinated, and now those officials' children are fascinated by them one by one. We have to turn around, if we act rashly, we will be the ones who suffer."

Anu agrees.

It's just that no one expected that Liang Yiru would go to Huamanlou again at night.

Liang Yiru himself didn't know what was wrong, he was sent by a ghost, since he came back from Huamanlou, he had been thinking about it, and he couldn't help but want to go when it got dark.

He wondered if he had something to do last night, so——

The one ordered was still Hongle's flower card.

The first time she was born and the second time she was acquainted, Hong Le still smiled like a flower and greeted her politely.

In the dark cabinet, a deep man's voice wafted through the room, "Here again?"

Yingniang said "hmm", "It's him, that's right."
