wedding dress

Chapter 85

The palace man poured honey-colored tea into the cup.

What Xiaodong has said to the third prince in the past few years can be counted with two hands, no, I can count them with one hand.It is to meet each other when we greet each other in the Changchun Palace, or meet in a nearby place, and greet each other.Speaking of which, Xiaodong and the third concubine talked a little more, at least on the surface their relationship was very harmonious.

"I heard that Qin Lie has come to the capital."

Uh, he also knows Qin Lie?

Nonsense—they have studied together in Jixian Hall, so they can barely be regarded as classmates.

The third prince's news is really well-informed, Qin Lie has only been back for two days.

"How...how is she?"

The third prince didn't beat around the bush at all, and came straight to the point.

Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, should he play dumb or be stupefied, or talk about it from left to right?
Finally, Xiaodong said, "She's fine, she's living elsewhere, and someone is taking care of her."

The expression on the third prince's face at that moment... Xiaodong couldn't describe it.

It looks like joy and sadness, but they are all hidden under the mask of calm.

After being washed by the river water for an unknown number of years, the exposed riverbed is not riddled with holes, but smooth as a mirror.

Yes, he looks calm.

"That's good."

These three words are spoken plainly.

Suddenly, Xiaodong's nose felt sore for no reason, and he lowered his eyes to look at the cup of tea in front of him.

The tea mist curled up, and the black lacquered tabletop was like a mirror, reflecting Xiaodong and the faces of the third prince.

It's just... I can't see clearly, it's blurry.

"Sister Lao Xiaodong is here." Without saying anything else, he told someone to take her out properly, and left.

Xiaodong felt disappointed for a long time.

If he wasn't the prince...or if he wasn't the son of the empress, maybe things would be different.

But that's the way it is, there are so many ifs, maybes.

The third prince and Yao Jinfeng are destined not to be on the same road.

There was this little episode, and when the third concubine posted a post to invite them to enjoy the flowers, Xiaodong was inexplicably—ahem, feeling guilty.

In fact, she has no guilty conscience, her cousin only asks a few words, and she has nothing to feel sorry for her sister-in-law.Even if the third prince had a relationship with Yao Jinfeng before, that is already a thing of the past. The third prince married a wife, and Yao Jinfeng is about to marry.Even if it's hard to understand—then...

Then she is still guilty.

Xiaodong wondered if he should find an excuse to push it away, but Zhao Zhi came to rob him early that morning: "I knew you were too lazy, and when the weather was hot, you wanted to plant yourself in the water as a lotus. Go for a walk, or you won't be able to." place, I will ask someone to find a bed for you to sleep enough."

"Don't talk, don't talk, I'll just get up." Xiaodong wailed after being pulled, and had to re-comb her hair and change her clothes.

"You should change to a pair of pendants. Didn't you have a pair of pendants inlaid with gold and steel diamonds last time? Why don't you wear that?"

"It's so hot today, wearing that will dazzle people's eyes." And it was still heavy.In the end Xiaodong only wore pearls.

"You said you always dress so plainly, didn't you get the tribute from that foreign country in spring...what's that called?"

"Golden Rosé."

"That's right, I saw that other people have already made clothes, how about you? Are you lying in a box waiting to be fed to bugs?"

"You didn't wear them either."

"My..." Zhao Zhi said bitterly, "Let my sister-in-law go."

"Will you give it to her if she asks?"

"Just don't give it to her, and there are others staring at it. It's better to give it to her. My ears are still quiet." Zhao Zhi threw herself on her back: "How wonderful is your family, you are the only one, and nothing is old. grab it with you."

During the Chinese New Year, she made a new silk padded jacket. The first time she put it on, someone poured oil on her body, and the good clothes were ruined.

Xiaodong patted the back of her hand: "I don't like that gauze very much either. If you like it, someone will send it to you when you come back. You can make a skirt and wear it."

"Forget it, that one is too eye-catching. The heads of my family are all like wolves. I don't know which eyes they will fall into when I deliver it."

They got out of the car and entered the door, and the third prince and concubine came out to welcome them.

"The two sisters are late."

Her eyes are clear and she looks very frank.Xiaodong always felt that her gaze seemed to have a kind of penetrating power, as if nothing could be hidden from her.

Although I don't feel wronged, there is always a little pimple in my heart.

Zhao Zhi said carelessly, "Yes, what is there to eat and drink? I got up early in the morning and came here with an empty stomach."

The third concubine invited a lot of people this time, Zhao Zhi looked left and right, and suddenly pointed in one direction: "Look, who is that?"

Xiaodong turned to look—uh, isn't this Miss Wang Yinglan?

"Why is she here? By the way, I've never seen her before."

Zhao Zhizhen was unambiguous, and came with her mouth open: "I asked at home, she has only been in the capital for half a year, and she has been living in her hometown before."

"No, it looks like he grew up in the capital."

Zhao Zhi gave Xiaodong a hand: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Pull it down." Xiaodong refused to go, "Don't you hate her? Why do you want to make yourself unhappy."

"If you don't go, go. Anyway, I'll see you later when you're listening to the play. I'll see if she still has the eyeballs on the top of her head."

Today I also invited a singing and dancing troupe, and there is also an opera troupe, the third concubine is thoughtful, Yishui's all-female troupe, only one old piano player is a man, and his hair is all white, Xiaodong is impatient to watch the opera, Zhao Zhihe She wanted to go together: "Let's go listen to the music."

"There is no new song, it still sounds the same."

"You are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and you only listen to the golden voices of Qin Nu and Hongxiu. Of course, you don't like these ordinary ones. But I heard that there is a newcomer today, who can sing Nanqu very well."

Nanqu's enunciation is different from Mandarin, it sounds crisp and vivid, Xiaodong only understands half of it.The girl who sang the song was only about ten years old, with a row of black eaves and flowing seas, a melon-shaped face, dark and bright eyes, very pretty.

Xiaodong thought she was beautiful and cute, so he asked her to sit down, had tea poured, and asked, "What's your name? How long have you been in Jiaofang? Who is your master?"

"The master calls me Xiaoyu. I came in last year. The master is Qin Nu."

Zhao Zhi was surprised: "It was taught by Nv Qin? No wonder she sings well. By the way, I heard that there is a fourth girl in your place? How does she sing?"

"The fourth girl sings so well, we can't compare to them." Xiaoyu said with admiration all over her face, "My master values ​​her, and won't let her come out to socialize, let her prepare well, and wait for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival to be a blockbuster."

After sending her away, Zhao Zhi said in a low voice, "Ms. Qin has the intention to quit? This is both a junior sister and an apprentice..."

This is not uncommon, many people in the teaching workshop are looking for a way out while they are young. It would be bad if they don't wait until they are old and fading and are squeezed out by others.

"Where are the two younger sisters? Let me find them easily."

The third concubine came in with a slight smile, Xiaodong and Zhao Zhi stood up.

There were two women following behind the third concubine, she pointed to the one on the left and said, "This is Miss Wang."

Wang Yinglan said in her mouth: "I have seen the two princesses." But when she raised her head, she immediately opened her eyes wide and stared at the two people in front of her as if she had been pricked by a needle.
