The sky is as blue as blue and the water is as clear as a mirror.
The pear blossoms on the two banks of the original Shiting Trail were in full bloom, and the entire world was paved with brocade. The gentle wind passed by them, and these beautiful flowers swayed in clusters, and petals fell like snow.
Although Xia Chu had already guessed Lan Yuying's life experience in his mind, hearing Fei Lian's words of confirmation still made him feel a vague feeling in his chest.
From a quick glance, this should be the favorite paradise of blue-feathered cherry blossoms, with vegetation, flowers, and fragrant birdsong.
He canonized her as Princess Qianlan so quickly, so Yuefeng must have treated her well... which is also very good.
Even after entering the palace, Diandian seemed to like it very much. She jumped off his shoulder and ran happily among the flowers.
Fei Lian and Bian Ding saw that Xia Chu had calmed down, and their originally tense and glaring eyes had also calmed down. The three of them, plus a red fox, had no conversation except for the passing palace servants who saluted Fei Lian. Wordlessly, he went straight to Mingyue Palace.
Originally, the prince's residence was located outside the palace, but since Yue Fengwan's father, Yue Hua, was honored as the regent, he often lived in the palace.
The regent was responsible for the regency. Yue Hua Shi felt that traveling inside and outside the palace was too troublesome, so he moved into Mingyue Palace. Over time, Mingyue Palace became the palace of the regent.
Fei Lian took them into Mingyue Palace and went to a room in the side hall. He stood at the door and asked Xia Chu for a gift. Just as Bian Ding was about to follow him in, Fei Lian grabbed his belt and said, "Your clothes are fine. I'll get it."
"Go ahead."
Bian Ding heard Xia Chu's instructions, grabbed Feilian's hand, paused, and then waved: "You should lead the way."
Fei Lian didn't buy his face. Hearing this unkind tone, his eyebrows suddenly tightened. Seeing that the two of them were about to start fighting again, Xia Chu sighed and said to Fei Lian: "What? … I’ve spoiled you, so just be patient.”
Bian Ding looked dissatisfied and glanced back at Xia Chu with a resentful look.
Fei Lian was slightly startled. He also wanted to experience what it felt like to be spoiled by his master...
The image of Yue Fengwan's charming face instantly appeared in his mind, but his body trembled slightly. He shuddered and then waved away this absurd idea. He glanced at Bian Ding lightly, with a look in his eyes. With a hint of envy, he said calmly: "Let's go."
Bian Ding followed him reluctantly, turning back three times with each step, obviously worried that Xia Chu would be left alone in the side hall.
Fei Lian felt teasing in his heart, with a narrow smile on his face: "Come on, let me cast a spell on you and give you a surprise."
Bian Ding looked at his malicious smile and suddenly became wary: "What tricks do you want to play again?"
Fei Lian's eyes were full of cunning, and he whispered to his ear: "I really want to give you a surprise, do you want to make a bet?"
Bian Ding resisted and pushed his head to the side: "What are you betting on?"
Fei Lian didn't care, and while leading the way with a long stride, he continued to say to him: "If you are not shocked for a while, I will lose. If you are shocked, you will lose."
"What if you lose?" Bian Ding looked at him sideways. It was really a joke. He had never seen any big storms and waves since he followed Xia Chu. Was he surprised
"If you lose, you naturally have to promise the other party something." Fei Lian looked at his disdainful look. Instead of retorting, Fei Lian smiled more and more.
Bian Ding was so embarrassed by his laughter. Although he didn't think he would lose to him, he still replied strictly: "Yes. But this matter cannot harm nature, cannot kill people, cannot involve two countries, and don't..."
"No, you are a stick hammer." The smile at the corner of Fei Lian's mouth gradually condensed, and his scalp was numb from his series of righteous words, and his face was full of impatience: "After losing, just call the opponent uncle, that's alright."
"Okay." Bian Ding nodded, very satisfied with this bet.
Fei Lian was also very satisfied with the promise he was determined to win. When he was happy, he led him to the room and opened the wardrobe, allowing him to choose a set of clothes he liked.
After Xia Chu saw Bian Ding and Fei Lian leaving, he opened the door and entered the room.
It is still late February, and the weather is quite cold.
Inside the house there is a small red clay stove and slender pine branches.
The doors and windows on all sides of the flower hall are open. The rockery and flowing water outside the window are gurgling, and the peaches and plums are competing to bloom. There is an indescribable artistic conception.
The two maids outside the house followed him inside, bowed to him and said, "My servant Yin Tao and my servant Yue Xiang, I have been ordered by the Regent to help you wash and change your clothes."
Xia Chu followed the figures to the inner room, frowned slightly and turned away from them: "No, I can do it myself."
The two looked at each other and didn't force him. Yin Tao saluted again with a smile on his face: "Yes, the slaves are waiting outside. Master will call you if you have any instructions."
Xia Chu nodded. When the two of them retreated, Yuexiang turned back and smiled again: "The regent said that if the master doesn't wash up and change his clothes, he won't see you."
"Hypocritical." Xia Chu muttered in a low voice, waved towards the two of them, turned and walked towards the inner room.
The table in the inner room was covered with dresses of various styles, but they were all as bright red as blood.
Diandian was stepping back and forth on these red skirts. If she had been lying there quietly, Xia Chu would have thought there was another fox fur cloak.
He was surprised that he had never seen a trace of red on Yue Fengwan himself, so why did his taste change when it came to him? Even if it was blue, it would not be as eye-catching as this bright red.
But complaining was nothing but complaining, so Xia Chu chose a set of clothes at random.
But he actually overestimated his abilities and underestimated the cumbersomeness of Western costumes.
I thought that Xiao and Liang's palace attire, from the water coat to the outer cover, and even the gap in the middle of the collar must be aimed at the tip of the nose, was enough to torture people.
I never thought that the dresses from the Western Regions were not only as good as Duo Yi, but also better.
Only then did she understand why the two palace maids were smiling before retreating, so she could only call them in to help.
The two palace maids were very smart and took no time to change clothes and make up. They dressed her up in a short time and made her look dazzling.
Bian Ding had already changed into a navy blue robe, and stood waiting outside the house. The men's clothing from the Western Regions did not look out of place on him, but instead made him look more chic.
After all, the clothes distributed by the Marquis Mansion in the past, although made of excellent fabrics, were all relatively monotonous and simple.
He had been waiting for a long time and didn't understand why Xia Chu spent so long in there. This time was enough for him to change into ten or eight sets.
"Are you sure my young master is inside?" Bian Ding waited impatiently and turned to look at Fei Lian behind him.
Bian Ding kept staring at the door expectantly, while Fei Lian lazily leaned on the corridor to look at him.
At this moment, he turned to ask, with that cunning look in his eyes again: "She must be in there."
While talking, the door of the room was opened from the inside.
The two of them moved their gazes over at the same time, and saw Xia Chu, who was wearing a bright red dress surrounded by Yin Yu and Yu Xiang. Her long hair was flowing, her body was decorated with Western-style accessories, and her silver jewelry was shining brightly...
