Lady Zhao

Chapter 105

"I want to fly higher, fly higher, dance like a strong wind, and break free from my arms; I want to fly higher—cough cough cough." In Mingxu Garden, a certain bird roared at the top of its throat, but who would have expected it to end? As soon as it rose high, the sound broke, causing a burst of laughter.

"It's done, don't fly away, Mama Yang is going to get you a bowl of water, look at this little neck." The old lady was so teased that after Mama Yang brought a small cup of water, she started to give it herself. Hey, while patting Tianxian's head affectionately, "You're really smart."

The little guy couldn't help boasting the most, after a few sips, he cocked his tail, revealing a bit of vigor.

Zhao Wenwan resisted the urge to pull the hair of a certain tail. She just hummed a few words in private one day, and the little guy listened to it, and suddenly sang the original rock style, and her hair exploded when she opened her mouth , and would shake his head with the rhythm, Zhao Wenwan was afraid that it would knock him out.

"Also, more! You are mighty and majestic, the man who sets the horse—" Tianxian couldn't stop his desire to perform as soon as he got excited, and immediately sang another song, but just as soon as he roared, he caught the eyes of the visitor and paused Dun, "I would like to melt into your broad chest, the endless wilderness, and wander with you..."

"..." Various cooking methods flashed through Gu Jingxing's mind when he entered the door.

Zhao Wenwan also wanted to hide her face and teach others how to pretend to be a corpse, how can she learn the humming song so well!Seeing the twitching corners of Zhao Wenwan's mouth, a faint smile slipped across the corners of Gu Jingxing's mouth. He first greeted Mrs. Zhao, and then presented him with the special product of Lan Country that Princess An ordered to bring back.

"Dongshi arrived with He'an's family letter, saying that everything is fine over there. The emperor's grandmother left a copy. Knowing that the old lady is prone to rheumatism when it rains, she specially asked me to bring this ointment. There are also some gadgets from the girls of the Lan country for the ladies of the Zhao family."

"Be careful, it's all old problems, and An'an is the least worrying one. Now that you are married so far away, I'm afraid the old sister will think about it." The old lady took the ointment, sighed faintly, and glanced at Zhao Wenwan again , "It would be reluctant to change me."

"Grandmother, although the two countries are close relatives, the one who will marry Princess He'an's sweetheart is finally consummated." Zhao Wenwan took her grandmother's hand and gently stroked the lines on it, "Grandma couldn't wait to let Wen Wan After getting married, Wen Wan wants to be with grandma for the rest of her life."

After the words fell, Gu Jingxing's eyes were tightly glued to each other, and he didn't say anything, just staring straight at him.

Mrs. Leng interjected, "The old lady is not willing to be an old girl like a girl, and it's not a way to have both. If you get married closer, you will be fine." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Gu Jingxing with her smiling eyes, and as soon as she contacted The meaning in the words seems to be very optimistic about this pair.

The old lady patted Zhao Wenwan lightly, and smiled when she heard the words, and her loving eyes fell on Gu Jingxing.The old lady asked herself that she hadn't reached the point where her old eyes were dim. Gu Jingxing acted like a girl, taking care of her overtly and secretly. With the ability to protect girl Wan without fear, and looking at girl Wan's attitude, it is obvious that the two have a strong relationship at the moment, and the old woman is naturally happy to see it happen.

When Gu Jingxing leaned slightly to pour the tea, a touch of warm white slipped out from the neckline and was exposed outside. Leng Shi caught a glimpse of it. When he took a quick look, he felt very familiar, and fell back on Zhao Wenwan. As expected, he also looked at it in front of his collar To a concentric jade lock.

"It seems that the aunts are just worrying about it. You are wearing all the tokens of love." Leng said jokingly.

Zhao Wenwan followed his gaze, "This..."

Without waiting for Gu Jingxing to explain her confusion, the old lady said first, "In the final analysis, it's my old sister Lisuo. When Wen Wan came back from the palace, I felt familiar with it. I remembered that it was specially ordered by the late emperor. It was made by people, one piece was given out when Jing Xing was still young, and the other piece was left for Jing Xing's future princess."

Zhao Wenwan opened her mouth slightly, thinking that she was wearing someone's future daughter-in-law's card and swaggering through the market, always feeling like she was cheated by the Queen Mother.

Gu Jingxing smiled, apparently knowing about it early in the morning, and was glared at by Zhao Wenwan.

"Looking at this concentric jade lock, I remembered it again." Mrs. Zhao seemed to be trapped in her own memories, and the corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously, and she said leisurely, "The old man has been with the late emperor for so long, and he also likes to play with it." Such a set, put together a pair. Your father is also like him, but at that time, the boy was stunned, and there was not much left after buying books and ink with the change for a month. When he met a girl he liked , I couldn’t afford to buy anything as a gift, so I finally gave someone a fan that I carried with me. It’s so shabby, and I’m not afraid of being laughed at by other girls.”

"Looking back, I'm too embarrassed to tell us, thinking about the sick person, if the girl hadn't come to return it later, I would still be angry. Your father's fan is worthless, but the pendant is the treasure left by the old man. There is a pair of Son, I saw that he likes it, so I tied it on his fan, but it's not bad, I brought back a good daughter-in-law."

"Grandmother is talking about my mother?" Zhao Wenwan blinked her eyes, a little unbelievable that Zhao Hongsheng was so innocent.

"That's right, there are not many girls in the capital who are as well-behaved as Shen's, and there are not many girls in the capital who can't make mistakes. The girl from the Shen family has the most famous name. How many people have stepped through the threshold to propose marriage, but they didn't expect to let her marry him." Your father married back in a daze." Mrs. Zhao thought of the days when Mrs. Shen was still there, and took care of everything comfortably, how could there be so many things that bothered her now, and then look at the pair she left behind. Children, the old lady likes them from the bottom of her heart.

Zhao Wenwan imagined according to the old lady's description, he is probably a very gentle person, and his son, Xiao's mother, has the temperament of a big brother.

The grandparent and grandson were talking and laughing, but they didn't notice Leng's gloomy look flashing past.

After staying in Mingxu Garden until the old lady felt tired, Gu Jingxing resigned. The old lady asked Zhao Wenwan to see the guests off, and left Leng Shi to talk for a while.

Arriving outside Mingxu Garden, Zhao Wenwan taught Gu Jingxing's idiot-like gaze to be very disturbing. When there was no one around, he showed his true face and gritted his teeth, "I have bruises on my face, I've been looking at them all the time."

"It's not long, but it's good-looking." I couldn't get enough of it, Gu Jingxing was afraid that he would really piss people off, so he only added something in his heart.

Zhao Wenwan was choked up by the sudden love words, and it was rare to feel shy, but just for a moment, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of the purse that Gu Jingxing was carrying, paired with this handsome man, Zhao Wenwan immediately wanted to snatch it. thought.

As if aware of her intentions, Gu Jingxing took a step back, shook his purse deliberately, his face was not tense, showing a hint of embarrassment, "I still want to regret it after I gave it away."

Looking at it, Zhao Wenwan thought of Tianxian for some reason, and finally followed the former owner a little bit, couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching, and said in a negotiating tone, "Or, this is for private storage, how easy it is to get dirty when hanging. "

Gu Jingxing grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a trace of self-satisfaction, "I also thought of this, so I specially covered it with a layer of transparent feather gauze, so you can't see it unless you look carefully."

"..." My lord, you are really thoughtful, Zhao Wenwan feels that he can't communicate happily with Gu Jingxing, and feels a little tired.

At the end, Gu Jingxing seemed to suddenly think of it, frowned and asked, "You taught that song, who is the man who tied the horse, and why did you go wandering with him?"

Facing Gu Jingxing's upright face, Zhao Wenwan completely lost her voice after being hit violently, and only after a while did she regain her strength and said, "My lord, please slow down on your way."

However, Gu Jingxing, who didn't understand why Zhao Wenwan suddenly chased him away, felt that it was necessary to investigate further, but the person concerned didn't give him a chance, and ran away after giving him a tearful look.Gu Jingxing pursed his lips, thinking that the man who tied the horse was suspicious, and he must be found out as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it all the way, Gu Jingxing almost collided with someone when passing by a place, but the flexible reaction formed by many years of martial arts practice, he turned sideways the moment the person fell over, and heard the low voice of a woman, Zhao Wenxi was quite He knocked on the rockery in some embarrassment.

"..." Gu Jingxing was inexplicably relieved by the huge human-shaped hidden weapon.

Zhao Wenxi's face was distorted for a moment due to the pain, and when Gu Jingxing looked over, he quickly disappeared, regained his smile, said softly to the sixth prince, and then continued: "I just went to the palace to talk to the imperial concubine and empress. My son, when I came back and heard that the lord came to the mansion, I hurried over, but fortunately I didn't miss it."

"Well, I still have some things to deal with, Miss Zhao can do it herself." Gu Jingxing always said with a deadpan face in front of outsiders, his indifference made Zhao Wenxi a little heartbroken, and he was about to leave as soon as he saw it, and he refused to even say a word of greeting Say more.

Zhao Wenxi bit the corner of her lips, full of reconciliation, but so what, the fourth aunt also said that she would help her get Gu Jingxing, so she boldly stepped forward and chased after two steps, "My lord, wait a minute." She was shy, but finally seemed to muster up her courage.

Gu Jingxing couldn't dodge it in time, so he had to dodge his lower body without showing any traces. It was a sequelae left in the palace last time, and he always felt that it was better to keep a little distance from this person.

Although it was a subtle movement, Zhao Wenxi's thoughts were delicate, seeing it in his eyes, he gritted his teeth secretly. "My lord, this purse was embroidered by the little girl herself, or the imperial concubine said that the purse you were wearing was too rough. The little girl dared to ask the imperial concubine to embroider one for you."

Gu Jingxing looked at the delicate and vivid patterns on it, raised his eyebrows, and turned his body slightly, revealing someone's handiwork on his body, "I like this purse very much." His eyes softened when he touched the purse, and he raised his eyes Hiding away again, he looked straight at Zhao Wenxi and said with a little deep meaning, "Besides...it's useless if there are too many."

After finishing speaking, Gu Jingxing nodded lightly and walked away.

The blood on Zhao Wenxi's fair face faded away, he bit his lips tightly, clutched the purse in his hand and threw it on the ground fiercely, the corners of his eyes were scarlet, and the tears couldn't stop falling down.Zhao Wenwan, soon you will see how much the prince will despise you, just like the purse that he rejected on the ground.

The two peach blossoms in the Xiangzhu Garden grow very well under the care of special personnel. The pink and white flowers are in full bloom and squeezed close to each other, and clusters of them are full of branches.The spring is lazy and leaning against the breeze, the petals are falling, and a thin layer is intermittently laid on the path of the bluestone slab.

Under the peach blossom tree, two maids carefully trimmed the flowering branches in the side flower bed with scissors. Accompanied by the sound of scissors, one of them straightened up, rubbed his hands, and hid under the shade of the tree. Want to be lazy for a while.

"Get rid of these soon, and there are other tasks. If sister Xueyan sees it, she should call you." Another maid frowned and said.

"Miss and Princess Mu entered the palace, and Xueyan and Baochan followed, how could they see it." The maid who spoke didn't care much when she heard the words, showing a little cunning, "Hey, did you see the sixth prince yesterday? Did you send anything, you can smell the fragrance from far away, I heard that the peaches were sent from Yongdi in a hurry, they are so big, and none of them are bad."

The little maid spoke excitedly, and made a gesture as big as a plate, "Miss waited for this peach tree to bear fruit, and someone gave me the water spirit peaches directly. The sixth prince is really caring for the lady, and he is more diligent than the prince's mansion here." .”

"It's okay to talk about it. If you yell out, be careful not to have your tongue pulled out. You know that the eldest lady has always disliked servants talking too much."

"I know, it's not only you, sister." The little maid winked at her, then approached her and said, "Do you think that the eldest lady's good deeds are coming soon? That time I watched the two masters come from the ancestors." Come out, that feeling..."

Hearing this, the less talkative servant girl hurriedly stuffed the peach petals that fell into her hands into the mouth of someone who was speaking without restraint, and glanced around nimbly, "Stop making wild guesses, you think it's fun to arrange things in private, master." Tired?!"

"Hmm - bah bah bah." The scolded maid hurriedly spat out her petals, wiped her mouth, with a resentful and aggrieved expression on her face, "If my sister doesn't tell, who will know!"

Probably because I was really angry when I saw people, and I didn't dare to mess around, so I continued to cut the flowers and branches.Little did they know that the conversation between the two fell on the ears of the man not far away who was wearing a dark blue plain brocade robe, and his footsteps did not move again, he stopped for a long time, and finally turned and left.

The Huxinzhai on the lotus pond has octagonal eaves and is ventilated on all sides. Inside is a round stone table and square stone benches.Sitting alone, he picked up a flagon and poured himself a drink, with a depressed expression on his face.

Not long after, a figure of Pingting seemed to pass by by chance, looked at the people in Huxinzhai, and then walked over with the maid, "Cousin Jingyuan?"

"Hmm." He Jingyuan, who drank all the wine in his glass in one gulp, opened his eyes and looked at the visitor clearly, "It's Cousin Wenxi."

Zhao Wenxi wore a peach-pink spring dress, with emerald flowers on her hair bun, and only a few accessories all over her body, which made her look fresh and pleasant while being simple and elegant.A pair of peach-blossom eyes seemed to be moistened, slipped past a few empty bottles on the table, and frowned slightly, "Cousin, what's bothering you, why don't you tell me about it while hiding here to drink away your worries. "

Lu Yun hugged the autumn-scented cushion and spread it on the stone bench with foresight, and Zhao Wenxi sat opposite He Jingyuan.Xu was drunk, He Jingyuan saw that the appearance and attire of this person overlapped with that of another person, and the next moment he shook his head vigorously, Zhao Wenxi's appearance clearly appeared in front of his eyes, arousing a touch of self-mockery.

"Hey..." He just said, that person was obviously avoiding him, otherwise how could he not even see him after coming to the house for two days, and even mistook him for him.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenxi had a look of worry on her eyebrows, and asked Luyun to order, "Make a pot of black tea, remember to put a few red dates in it."

Turning around, he said to He Jingyuan again, "My cousin is hurting himself by drinking so much, so grandma should be worried when she sees it."

He Jingyuan listened to that soft voice, a hint of warmth gradually appeared in the cold stomach soaked in wine, and when he raised his eyes, he met the hidden worry in Zhao Wenxi's eyes, and twitched the corners of his mouth, probably wanting to laugh, but helpless in his heart The rising sourness became even worse, and the smile became extremely bitter.

Once upon a time, the woman sitting next to her was Zhao Wenwan, even the woman in front of her was rescued by the two of them together, obviously there was a bond of fate between the two of them, how did they end up...

He was defeated by Fang Zimo, unwilling to reconcile, so he asked his father to go to Qidi to hone his training. It may take three to five years, and he will surely be successful when he comes back. However, he still wanted to meet Zhao Wenwan before leaving, so he stayed in Dingguo's mansion for a few days in the name of visiting his grandmother, and tomorrow was the deadline.

But I didn't expect to hear Zhao Wenwan and the sixth prince today... It's ridiculous that I'm infatuated.He Jingyuan filled another cup by himself, drained it in one gulp, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

"Cousin...is it because of Sister Wan?" Zhao Wenxi stared at it with clear eyes, and when the tea on the small red clay stove on the table boiled, he poured a cup and pushed it to He Jingyuan's hand, hiding the gleam in his eyes .

He Jingyuan suddenly withdrew his hand as if being scalded by the temperature of the hot tea, his eyes drifted and fell on Zhao Wenxi without answering.

Zhao Wenxi held the cup that Luyun poured for himself, and warmed it in his hand. He didn't care about He Jingyuan's thoughtful gaze, as if he was sinking into his own emotions, and said quietly for a long time, "I have always envied my sister. .”

"My cousin was the first person who took good care of me after I arrived in Beijing, but at that time I had already seen my cousin's affection for Sister Wan. You and Sister Wan made me have a home. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you are here Together, I was still happy when there were rumors of you and Sister Wan in the house, and I even wanted to see you together after hearing from my grandmother... I didn't expect it to change later."

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Feng, and... the Sixth Prince, my sister is surrounded by outstanding people, but I always feel that Sister Wan treats her cousin differently. Maybe she got confused later on."

He Jingyuan just listened quietly, took a sip of black tea unconsciously, and followed her gradually lowering tone.

"Do you really think so?"

Hearing the hoarse voice, Zhao Wenxi nodded without hesitation, "At least I have heard my sister mention more than once that even the bow and arrow have been brought back from Mr. Fang."

The reason for the dispute that day was suddenly mentioned, He Jingyuan's heart twitched, and his head was always hot due to the alcohol, Zhao Wenxi's voice was false and unreal, and it seemed a little inaudible.

"Cousin, don't give up so easily." Zhao Wenxi's voice was close to his ears, and he couldn't hide his worry. "However, cousin has been away for a long time. It would be great if we can make a marriage before leaving."

"Yes—" He Jingyuan followed suit with a faint sigh.

"That's not easy. People bumped into the scene of the private meeting between the young master and the eldest lady. The raw rice was cooked..." A brisk voice broke in, and Zhao Wenxi immediately scolded him with a black face.

He Jingyuan could no longer hear the words clearly after that, and his mind sank down on the cold stone table, only the last few words that the maid said kept lingering in his heart.

He Jingyuan, it's despicable that you would agree with such a thought——at the last moment of drunkenness, He Jingyuan said this from the bottom of his heart, full of desolation, but he had to deny that his heart was moving.

"Miss, there is indeed this in the story book you told the slaves yesterday. In the end, lovers will get married. The old man can no longer force that lady to marry someone he doesn't like. Why can't he use On Young Master Biao?!" Lu Yun felt a little wronged, if Young Master Biao and Missy got married, then the Sixth Prince would be Missy's!
Zhao Wenxi squinted at her, and calmed down, "I know you are kind, but if you tell others to listen, you might think about it. Anyway, don't bring up this matter again, let someone help Master Biao to go back to his room to rest. By the way , When my sister comes back, let someone go to the young cousin Yuan'er to inform her, my cousin looks very pitiful."

"Yes." Lu Yun looked at her, and felt more and more that her lady was considerate and considerate, so she wiped away her grievances and went to do things as ordered.

It didn't take long for what happened in Huxinzhai to spread to Leng's ears, but she didn't hear what the two of them said. An's eyeliner only reported that the two stayed for a while, and Master Biao looked like he was drunk. up.

After hearing this, Leng Shi thought that the girl's movements were quick, but she didn't pick the right time.She could guess what Zhao Wenxi could say to He Jingyuan, but she was just discussing with a drunkard. I'm afraid it won't work, so she might as well add another firewood.

Swiping away the waiter, Dudu beckoned Yinchuan to come up to him, and after some whispering and muttering, Yinchuan responded crisply.

"Be careful, don't let people find out."

"Yes, ma'am." There were only two people in the room, but the voice from Yinchuan's mouth was exactly the same as that of Zhao Wenwan.

Leng's lips curled up in a satisfied smile, and he made people retreat, half leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, thinking of something, a gloomy light appeared in his eyes.
