Staying in Yulinyuan until the sunset on the west mountain, Ye Tianli said: "Let's come back another day, if we don't leave at this time, we won't be able to return to Tiandu before the city gate is closed."
Qing Chen stretched out his hand to caress Yun Cheng, Yun Cheng seemed to feel that she was going to leave alone, and followed her step by step, the setting sun dyed his long temples that bullied Frost Sai Xue with a soft luster, and everyone was reluctant to leave.
Ye Tianli had no choice but to lean on Zhui Xiao and waited for them to say goodbye, but he saw Sun Shi'an, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, riding over from the Xuansheng Palace, and asked strangely: "Sun Shi'an, why didn't you go to Mingcheng Palace with your father, why did you come back?" ?”
Sun Shi'an laughed and said: "The emperor ordered this old slave to bring a word, it is a coincidence that a good horse meets its owner, and today I will reward Miss Feng with this cloud galloping horse."
Qing Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and took the order to thank him, and said to Sun Shi'an, "I'm sorry, Tai Chang, I will go there myself."
Sun Shi'an said: "This is a matter of duty. We all admire the girl for earning the emperor's face in front of Shi Luo Khan today. The old servant will return to the emperor's side to serve him. If the Twelfth Highness has no orders, the old slave will I'll take my leave first."
After Sun Shi'an left, Ye Tianli saw Qing Chen holding Yun Cheng in his arms and smiling happily, and said: "Now I can go back to the city, it will be troublesome to be sent to the Mingcheng Hall to accompany the banquet by my father if I leave late."
The two left the Yulin Garden from the north gate and headed towards Tiandu. After a while, the sound of horseshoes behind them caught up with a group of people, and when they came to them, they all reined in their horses, and a quiet voice called out: "Is it Twelve Brothers?" ?”
Ye Tianli turned around to look, and smiled immediately: "So it's my sister-in-law, you also came back from Yulin Garden?"
The Crown Princess smiled and nodded to him riding on a yellow horse. The lady's skirt was quietly hanging down her side, elegant and generous, with a soft temperament. Beside her was a girl with pretty eyebrows and eyes, wearing a purple riding suit with buckskin boots and a flying swallow silver bow on her back. She looked at Ye Tianli and said with a crisp smile: "Your Highness, what good things did you hunt today?"
Ye Tianli said: "I didn't hunt today, I only went for a few laps, why didn't I see you in the paddock just now?"
The girl "giggled" and whispered: "The Crown Princess and I watched the emperor's royal driver sneaking away from afar."
The concubine frowned and said, "You ran to Dongyuan after seeing Yujia, and now you dare to talk in front of His Highness the Twelfth Highness."
The girl was obviously familiar with Ye Tianli and the others, and she had no scruples, and said, "It's not that the Twelfth Highness has never sneaked under the eyes of the emperor." She smiled and looked at Qing Chen, when she saw Yun Cheng "Huh?" Xing Xing's eyes were raised.
Ye Tianli said with a smile: "You missed the fun when you hid in Dongyuan. The emperor rewarded Qing Chen with Yuncheng today." He said to Qing Chen: "This is the crown princess, this is Brother Seven's Cousin Yin Caiqian, haven't you seen her in Seventh Brother's residence?"
Qing Chen saluted one by one, the princess nodded and smiled, Yin Caiqian looked Qing Chen and Yun Cheng up and down in amazement, and suddenly said: "Oh! Are you the beauty hidden in Brother Zhan's house?" Everyone was stunned, she smiled He said: "Sister-in-law Jin is indeed right. I went to Prince Zhan's mansion a few days ago, but you didn't meet when you went out. The eldest brother said that brother Zhan has a temper recently, so let me stop making trouble. I am anxious to see you. .”
Seeing her lively and pleasant, Qing Chen couldn't help smiling: "I also heard His Highness the Seventh Highness mentioning you, so I just met you here today." , Yin Caiqian said: "It's been a long time since I went to Prince Zhan's Mansion, let's bother Sister-in-law Jin!"
The princess concubine said softly: "You guys go, the prince has been out for so long and still doesn't know, I have to go back to the East Palace first."
Ye Tianli turned sideways and said to Qing Chen: "In case Seventh Brother comes back from Xuansheng Palace tonight, he will still talk about Yuncheng, I will not accompany you to be reprimanded." He raised his voice: "I have an appointment with someone , also take a step first!"
Qing Chen looked angrily at him gleefully riding his horse away, Yin Caiqian grinned and said, "The Crown Princess is worried about the Crown Prince every day, and the Twelfth Highness has never been idle, so we don't care about them!"
The two walked forward together, talking and laughing all the way, when they arrived at Prince Zhan's Mansion, Qing Chen followed the servant in charge of the horses to settle Yun Cheng, while Yin Caiqian threw the whip into the servant's hand, and shouted inside: "Sister Jin!"
Concubine Jin came out with a smile: "I knew it was you. You always came in with a yell. There are guests in the house."
Yin Caiqian sticks out her tongue and looks inside, a radiant beauty steps out from behind Concubine Jin, dressed in a drunken red and silver silk slanted-breasted robe, covered with jade-colored gauze with cloud marks, and has a flying fairy bun with exquisite steps and moon eyebrows. Slender and slender, the twinkle in her eyes came alive with her delicate steps, as if hiding a lot of complicated looks, frowning and smiling, clear and charming, and there is a dazzling light in the softness.
She smiled and said hello to Yin Caiqian, but Yin Caiqian's eyebrows turned cold, the original pretty smile disappeared instantly, and she said calmly: "It turns out that Fengluan Feifeng Xiuyi is here, then I'll go back first."
Seeing that she was being rude to Feng Luanfei, Concubine Jin glanced at her slightly responsibly, and shook her head slightly.
But Feng Luanfei didn't care, and smiled at Yin Caiqian: "Look at this outfit, you just came back from Yulinyuan, and you left as soon as you saw me, aren't you still angry about the roe during the last spring hunting?"
Yin Caiqian frowned, looked at her and said, "Who is angry about that? The roe didn't say it was mine. You hunted openly to count your skills, but you'd better stay away from some people!"
Feng Luanfei was still smiling brightly, and Concubine Jin slightly accentuated her tone: "Caiqian!"
Yin Caiqian snorted coldly: "I'm leaving!" Qing Chen was coming towards her, seeing her look of displeasure before she could call her, so she hurried out of the mansion.
Concubine Jin frowned helplessly, but Feng Luanfei didn't seem to take this matter to heart, she stared at Qing Chen, and when Qing Chen came up to her, he quietly dropped his gaze on her. Concubine Jin didn't have time to take care of Miss Yin Caiqian's temper, she turned her head and smiled softly, "Qing Chen, I'm waiting for you to come back, this is Feng Luanfei, Xiuyi before the imperial court."
Qing Chen was stunned, no wonder he looked at her with a feeling of deja vu, it turned out that she and "Feng Qingchen" did have some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes. Concubine Jin knew that Feng Luanfei had something to ask Qing Chen, so she said, "Go inside and talk, I still have a few things to tell my servants to do, I'll come back later."
Qing Chen invited Feng Luanfei to his room. When Feng Luanfei saw the picture scroll on the wall, and then looked closely at the furnishings in the room, he vaguely felt that Qing Chen seemed to have a special status in Prince Zhan's mansion, so he turned around and said with a smile: "Qing Chen Girl, forgive me for asking, do you have a swallowtail tattoo on your body?"
For the convenience of riding a horse today, Qing Chen wore a riding suit with folded breasts and narrow sleeves, and the neckline was folded to cover the skin under the neck. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
Seeing what she said, Feng Luanfei knelt down in front of the couch, stretched out her hand and unbuttoned the skirt of the silver-red patterned dress inside, and gently pulled it down to the collarbone, where the white-bottomed silver butterfly fluttered on the skin.
Upon seeing it, Qing Chen couldn't help being stunned, the light silver light lingering between the butterfly wings seemed to be gently dragging past her heart, a strange feeling rose quietly, it was so slow but clear, like the pain of her own body. part. Trivial fragments kept gushing out, interspersed in her heart faintly, passing by when she wanted to catch them, and seemed to disappear, she didn't speak for a while.
Feng Luanfei said: "I heard that His Highness the Ninth Prince saw the swallowtail on your body that day and almost regarded you as sister Xianwu. I wonder if that swallowtail is the same as the one on me?"
Qing Chen was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand and slowly took off his clothes, a piece of jade-white skin appeared in front of Feng Luanfei, the small and soft collarbone was slightly protruding, and the same silver butterfly was painted on it, with light beard and thin wings, fluttering like a butterfly , as if floating among the snow-colored flowers.
Feng Luanfei looked closely at the silver butterfly, with a look of surprise and joy in her eyes, she raised her head and supported Qing Chen's arm in disbelief, and said: "It's the same tattoo, you are really a sister, yes Daughter of the Feng family! Do you know how many years we have been looking for you!"
Qing Chen didn't seem to be interested in the sudden appearance of a prominent family, and said with a smile, "I think it might just be a coincidence, and the swallowtail tattoo is not difficult to draw."
Feng Luanfei said: "It can't be such a coincidence, such a butterfly cannot be imitated, there can be no second one in the world with Yaosha in Moyun Mountain and Zhu Xianqing's brushwork, and this butterfly beard, it seems The silver color is deeper than other places, but it is actually embellished with dark gold, no one except the Feng family will know about it, and the same tattoo can only be found on the daughters of the Feng family."
Qing Chen lowered her head and lowered her eyes. She didn't even notice it if she didn't look carefully. She reached out and caressed the neckline, and slowly closed the skirt, as if she was using this action to clear her mind. Then she shook her head and said, "If you say If she is the daughter of Feng's valve, it will not be me, I have never met my parents or relatives."
A slight surprise flashed in Luanfei's eyes, and he seemed a little puzzled by her refusal, and said: "My sister was taken away by the evil slaves at home when she was young, and my father has been looking for it for so many years, but I haven't heard from him, and I thought he was no longer in this world. It’s not surprising to remember things from the past.”
Qing Chen looked indifferently, and said: "I really don't have any impression of anything, so it seems that it is not easy to judge lightly."
Feng Luanfei was silent for a while, as if she was considering the meaning of her words, which clearly implied a bit of rejection, how could she not hear it
Qing Chen looked at Feng Luanfei quietly, with sculpted eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a beautiful nose and cherry lips. She turned her head slightly, and her own shadow was reflected in a bronze mirror next to her.
Luan Fei also looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, she said: "It's very similar, isn't it?"
Qing Chen couldn't deny the facts in front of him, so he gave an absent-minded "hmm".
Luan Fei said: "There is also Xianwu, our sisters are very similar in birth, I always liked to follow Xianwu when I was a child, even the clothes I wore were exactly the same as hers, people often couldn't tell who we were, I still imitated her Dancing, she dances very well, and people are fascinated by watching." She stopped, her expression was sympathetic, and her beautiful eyes seemed to contain a kind of complicated bleakness and sadness, as if she was recalling something: "But Xianwu She is no longer there. That year on Yan Yutai, she danced a "Tage" for His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince. Before the end of the song, she suddenly fell down and never woke up again. She left us at the most beautiful time. We No one will ever forget her."
Qing Chen comforted: "People cannot be resurrected after death. Although she left, she must hope that those who are alive will not be too sad."
Feng Luanfei said softly: "My mother has been ill in bed since Xianwu passed away. She also missed her other daughter all her life, and she has been sad for more than ten years. Now her old illness is running out, no matter whether it is true or not. , can you see her?"
Qing Chen's heart softened, and he remembered that he didn't know when he would see his mother again. The hearts of mothers and daughters are all the same in the world. Facing a mother who cares about her daughter's life, how can she bear to turn a blind eye? After thinking for a while, she finally nodded slightly and said: "Okay, let's not worry about other things for the time being, it doesn't matter if I follow you to see Madam."
Seeing that she agreed, Feng Luanfei smiled and took her hand: "It's too late today, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
