The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 35: traitor

Views:

The King of England didn't know yet that he had just run over under the nose of his fiancee.

He caught up with the prince and said in a strange tone: "Prince, where are you going?"

The prince glanced at the people behind him who avoided the fast horses, and the panic expressions on their faces had not yet completely dissipated, and raised their eyebrows slightly: "Big brother has not been sleeping well recently?"

"what?"

"Since you slept well, why did you forget that you can't ride a horse in the downtown area?" The prince pointed at the eunuch who was following the king's horse with his whip: "Come down and lead the horse for your master."

The attendant eunuch looked embarrassed, should he hold him or not

King Ying said with a cold face: "Please rest assured, Prince, this king is very good at riding and won't hurt the people."

"Your Highness." Hua Liuli, who was riding on the horse, clasped her fists and said, "His Royal Highness was riding so fast just now, it was quite scary." After speaking, she covered the corner of her mouth and coughed lightly.

King Ying suddenly remembered that Hua Liuli was a sickly and delicate girl who was frightened by a few dandy sons and brothers riding a horse. Afraid that Hua Liuli would suddenly fall, he would turn into a bad prince that even the three-year-old Tanghulu was unwilling to let go of, he swallowed the anger that spewed into his chest.

"The princess is right, the king is careless." King Ying looked at the prince, "Where are the prince and the princess going to play, the eldest brother just has nothing to do, I wonder if the prince would mind traveling alone?"

Hearing that the prince intends to win over the Hua family, he suspects that the prince wants to rebel with the Hua family, so he wants to see more.

"Okay." The prince glanced at King Ying with a half-smile, "It would be even better if the eldest brother could be together."

The King of England still didn't know what the prince meant, but then he understood.

Bookstore, cloth village, rouge shop, jewelry storeā€¦

How does he know whether round or square looks good

How could he know the difference between good and bad poems by the same person

There are also skirts, not all water red, what is the difference

But the prince seemed to be having trouble with him, and asked him while helping Fushou County Master pick

A bracelet is a bracelet, so I have to ask which one looks good

"I think they look good, so I bought them all." King Ying finally broke down. He held the box with one hand and said to the clerk with a grim expression, "Pack it all up, and this king will pay."

"Why are you embarrassed, I said that I bought something to apologize to Fushou County Master today, how can I make the big brother pay?" The prince smiled, "Big brother, you are too polite."

This jewelry shop is a well-known haute couture jewelry shop in Beijing. It is very popular with noble families. The craftsmen who make jewelry are famous old craftsmen in the country, and the price is even more staggering.

"As the eldest brother, I should pay for it." The King of England is not smiling. As long as the two of you don't ask me which things look good, I will be thankful.

After calculating the price of a box of jewelry, even the King of England felt a little pain in the flesh. Why are these women's favorite things so expensive

"County Master, if there is anything wrong with the Crown Prince, please don't take it to heart." King Ying was a little curious, what did the Crown Prince do wrong, and should he apologize to Hua Liuli

"It's not really a big deal to go back to the lord. A few days ago, my mother was going to the Taoist temple to repay her vows, and she happened to meet His Royal Highness the Prince. Not long after, some unwarranted rumors spread outside, and the ministers and daughters did not take these trivial matters to heart. What's more, His Highness is also a victim, but His Highness said that he wants to make amends to the ministers and daughters." Hua Liuli did not expect the Prince to say that he would take her around the capital, just to go to major shops to buy things. When King Ying asked, she deliberately found a reason.

These princes have their own thoughts, so it is better to make it clear.

At least the prince can't be pitted by other princes.

"So that's the case." King Ying remembered that the rumor about this matter had something to do with his own mother and concubine. Several other concubines who had princes also contributed to it, and he was a little embarrassed to see Hua Liuli.

He has always been unpleasant to see the prince, but because the prince has implicated this delicate little girl, he couldn't bear it. His Royal Highness Ying's way of expressing his guilt was straightforward. He bought another set of jewelry for Hua Liuli.

The prince did not stop him, and even showed a gentle smile after the King of England took out a large amount of banknotes.

When the crown prince was about to take Hua Liuli to see the porcelain, King Ying finally couldn't bear it any longer, and he said goodbye.

If he stayed like this, he would be bald.

When King Ying left, the prince stopped: "I suddenly remembered that these porcelains are not very good-looking, let's change the place."

"Okay." Hua Liuli faintly felt that the prince had deliberately cheated King Ying just now.

But who is she, the gentle, kind and weak Hua Liuli, she just needs to silently follow behind to pick up the spoils of the prince.

The prince really knew how to play. Not only did he take her to taste the food, but he also took her to the lake to listen to the beauties playing the piano, juggling the monkeys, and each one was more interesting. When the night gradually fell, the prince sent Hua Liuli home.

"If there is a chance in the future, Gu will take you to a few places to play." The prince said to Hua Liuli, who was standing at the door, "It's cold at night, the county master should go back to rest."

"His Royal Highness, return the horse to you." Hua Liuli handed the reins of the white horse to the prince, who smiled, "Let's keep it in your house for a few days, and then return it to the orphan in winter when the county master can't ride a horse."

Hua Liuli was about to refuse when she saw the prince turn his horse's head and prepare to leave.

"His Royal Highness." Hua Liuli stopped the prince.

The prince looked back at her, and without waiting for Hua Liuli to speak, there was already a smile on his face: "Thank you, the county master, for spending an interesting Shangyuan Lantern Festival with Gu."

This smile was so beautiful that Hua Liuli remembered that she seemed to have forgotten the name of the horse when the prince was far away.

"Forget it." Hua Liuli touched the horse's hair, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Wei Mingyue saw her daughter brought a horse back, and looked at it carefully: "This is the royal horse that was paid tribute to the Wuhu Kingdom in the north. It is a very rare horse of thousands of miles. Only your majesty has it, you..." She said with a slight pause, " Girl, have you gone to steal the royal horse?"

"Mother, my brain is still normal." Hua Liuli fondly touched the horse, "This horse was lent to me by the prince."

"Daughter, you should know the reason why horses and beauties are not borrowed." Wei Mingyue said with a serious expression, "Tell me, what are you doing to the prince? Mother will see if she can protect you or not. Say hello from Dali Temple and ask them to arrange a good bed for you."

Hua Liuli: "Probably because the prince has too many good horses, it doesn't matter if you lend me one?"

"Madam, this horse was really given to the county master by the prince." Iris hurriedly said, "Since returning to Beijing, the county master has been very good and has never caused any trouble. Not only that, but he also took care of a few horses on the street. The playboy of my lord, recently on the streets of Beijing, few people dare to ride their horses on the streets."

"It's better to keep a low profile. I heard that Ava was clamoring to see you a few days ago when he first entered the capital. He was starved for a few days by the Dali Temple before being honest." Wei Mingyue said, "Your Majesty will hold a state banquet next month. Invite the surrounding countries to come to the banquet, and you should not go out at that time, I am afraid that the people of Jinpo will put a sack on you and beat you with a sap after hearing what happened in Ava."

"Then you can't blame me." Hua Liuli said confidently, "When he infiltrated our Qinghan Province, he wanted to use a handsome man to set up a military situation with me. Of course, I can only reciprocate."

"So after you caught him, you plucked out all the gems embedded in his shoes?"

"That's not what I did, it was Iris." The betrayal of slaves was clean and neat.

Iris looked up at the moon in the sky: "Master, look at this moon, it's big and round, doesn't it look like a pot?"

"Today is a crescent moon." Hua Liuli didn't lift her head.

Iris looked numb, yes, although the moon is not round, the pot on her back is big and round.

"Iris has always been loyal to you, what did she do that you didn't mean?" Wei Mingyue never fought with Hua Liuli, because she couldn't win, "Be careful around you and don't put yourself in danger."

"Don't worry, there's no one else in the capital who doesn't know that I am kind, gentle, and fragile. I can't stand it, nor can I stand cold." Hua Liuli reached out and hugged Wei Mingyue's arm, but Wei Mingyue avoided her.

"You smell like a horse, don't rub against me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hugged by Hua Liuli.

Seeing that the lady was serious to the county master for less than a tea time, she was coaxed into a smile, and Iris took the horse to the stable, and ordered two grooms to take care of it specially.

After Hua Liuli took a shower and changed her clothes, she sat cross-legged on the bed, filled the bed with all the jewels she got today, and waved to Iris and Yu Rong, who were closest to her.

"Iris, Yu Rong, come."

Iris and Yu Rong were blinded by the dazzling jewels, and took a step back together.

"These are for you." Hua Liuli distributed a few pieces of jewelry to the two of them. The two had followed Hua Liuli since they were young, and they had long been accustomed to her behavior, and they put it away calmly.

The more she looked at these jewels, the more she liked them, Hua Liuli felt that even the prince who gave her a gift was cute.

No woman will despise her jewelry, no!

Now she is also a person who owns a house, a property, a shop, and jewelry. She can start preparing for things like raising a face and head.

"Yurong, Iris, go and find out, which music squares and pear orchards in the capital are more interesting." Hua Liuli fiddled with a jade bead, "Especially in places with beautiful women, you must not miss them."

Yu Rong said, "Why don't you take a look at which noble sons in the capital are in your heart?"

"That's not right, these sons and gentlemen are all going to marry noble girls. In the future, let those noble girls know that I have touched their husbands, will it hurt their feelings?" Hua Liuli shook her head, "That's too annoying. , it's better to keep your face first."

The night was cold as water, but Lin Wan could not sleep peacefully. Sitting in the small courtyard, she heard her mother's sigh.

Houses in the capital are expensive. My father has been an official for many years, and he has always been very clean. He doesn't like his family living too luxuriously. After returning to the capital, they lived in this small courtyard of Sanjin, and even this courtyard was prepared for them by the fourth prince.

Originally, the fourth prince wanted to prepare a comfortable compound for them, but his father said that if their family lived in such a good house, the people would suspect that their family was not clean enough, so they refused.

My father always said that one should not put too much importance on foreign things in life, and keeping a clear name is the most important. But she didn't understand that the big mansion was given by the fourth prince, so why couldn't live there.

It's not something you can't get by greed, even if you live there, what can you do, with a clear conscience.

"Xiao Wan, why haven't you slept yet?" Mrs. Lin walked into the yard and saw her daughter sitting on the stone bench, "It's cold at night, go back to the house."

"Mother." Lin Wan got up and helped Mrs. Lin to sit down, "My daughter can't sleep."

"What's wrong?" Seeing her daughter's worried expression, Mrs. Lin said worriedly, "Our family just came to the capital, did the girls from other families bully you?"

Lin Wan reluctantly smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I just haven't adapted to the weather in the capital, and it's just a little hard to sleep at night."

But Mrs. Lin didn't believe her words: "Is it the Flower Festival is coming soon, you don't have suitable clothes and jewelry?"

Now that the master has been transferred back to Beijing, he originally listened to King Ying's intention to let the master serve in Dali Temple, but now after waiting for so many days, the appointment has not been made, and I don't know what His Majesty meant.

However, Mrs. Lin didn't tell her daughter about these things, and didn't want to cause her troubles: "Tomorrow, mother will accompany you to go out and choose carefully."

Lin Wan shook her head: "The ones I did last year are also very good. Everything in the capital is expensive, so there is no need to waste these unnecessary money."

Mrs. Lin hesitated for a while, then got up and went back to the room. After a while, she took out a few banknotes and put them in Lin Wan's hand: "Mother knows that you are a good and sensible child, and the money will be spent."

Lin Wan declined twice, thinking of those beautiful clothes and jewelry, she still accepted them.

Just wait until she becomes the Queen of England.

everything will get better.

Sending her mother back to her room to rest, Lin Wan looked at the several banknotes in her hand, and then thought of Miss Yao, who was spending money today, and those ladies who didn't care about money at all, her hands trembled slightly.

When she becomes the Queen of England, she will have everything.

If Your Majesty hates the Prince...

Even better.

"Please forgive me, Your Highness!" The palace maid who made the bed suddenly knelt down, looking terrified.

The prince walked into the inner room and frowned when he saw the straw-woven butterflies scattered into a mass of weeds on the bed. Bend over to pick up this bunch of dead grass, the craftsmanship of the little girl from the Hua family is really not very good.

"It's okay, get back." He turned around and opened a wooden box, which contained an ugly pottery figure.

Take out the pottery man, put the dry grass under the box, and put the pottery man in. After all, it was the little girl's intention, and he couldn't just throw it away.

But that girl from the Hua family was quite interesting when she went out to play with her. Speak when it's time to speak, be silent when it's time to be silent, what a smart and clever little girl.

He wiped the little pottery's head and sighed.

If someone was in front of him, he really wanted to touch her head.

Jinling Garden, which sounds like a shop selling bells, is actually one of the famous paradises in the capital. There are musicians, dancers, and dancers. Some of them came from poor families and entered the business of performing arts. Some of them committed crimes in their families and were beaten for cheap status.

Recently, there was an outstanding luthier in this park, which attracted many noble girls to spend a lot of money here, and even the entire Jinling Garden became famous.

Jiamin has been in a bad mood recently. The little sisters know that she is interested in the King of England. Unfortunately, the King of England has made the daughter of the Lin family as his concubine, and Jiamin has become a frustrated person.

The little sisters were worried about Jiamin's anxiety, and when they found out that Jin Lingyuan had a very good-looking violinist, they invited Jiamin to watch the beauty.

Jiamin thought that no matter how evil Hua Liuli was, she would never appear in Jinlingyuan, so she agreed without hesitation.

Several people found a box with excellent vision and sat down, sitting by the fence, enjoying the dance songs downstairs.

"However, it's not as interesting as the musicians in the palace." Jiamin lost interest after taking a few glances.

"The musicians in the palace play the qin and dance music better than them, but the musicians in these places are also a bit wild." Miss Yao blinked and smiled, pointing to the male dancer who was twisting his waist below, "Look at it. , how charming."

Jiamin listened to the screams downstairs and glanced at it, vulgar, but that's all.

It didn't take long for the candles around them to suddenly go out, leaving only the light on the stage. A violinist dressed in white with a ghost mask on his face walked out with his violin in his arms.

"Here." Some little sister reminded Jiamin.

The violin master was extremely cold, and even though countless people threw jewels and hostas on the stage as soon as he sat down, he did not seem to have the slightest move.

After playing the song, he put his white hands on the mask and took off the ferocious mask.

The extreme exchange of beauty and evil caused many people present to gasp.

After a while, the stage was already covered with a layer of rewards.

"Thank you." The piano master smiled lightly, lowered his head and picked up the hosta that had fallen on the hem of his clothes, and gently strummed it on the strings. He looked up at the crowd with a smile.

Jiamin unconsciously sat up straight.

"Jiamin, I heard that as long as the bid is high enough, the musicians here can come to the wing to play for us alone."

"Interesting." Jiamin summoned the waiters and asked them to go downstairs and bring them up.

The audience downstairs was a little disappointed when the pianist left, and even the performances at the back looked a little boring.

Jiamin waited for a while. Seeing that the piano player hadn't brought it over, she frowned and said, "What's going on, people?"

Just at this moment, the waiter walked in with a face full of shame: "The county master, the piano player has been taken away."

"Take it away?" Jiamin couldn't believe it. The entire capital's princess and county masters didn't add up to much. Knowing that the piano master was the one she wanted, who would dare to rob her

"Who is so shameless to steal someone from me?" Jiamin was angry, this was not a problem of a piano player, but a problem of face.

People who disagree with her don't go out and ask. How many people has Yao Jiamin been afraid of since she was a child

"Didn't I say hello to you on purpose, and want to leave people to us?" Miss Yao was also a little unhappy, patted the table and said, "I want to see who has such a big face."

The waiter smiled awkwardly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the distinguished guest who ordered the piano master said that she is friends with the distinguished people."

"A few of our friends are here. What is she, and she's too embarrassed to have a relationship with us?" Miss Yao bumped Jiamin lightly with her arm, "Jiamin, shouldn't someone sway under our banner?"

Another little girl whispered: "I think our current behavior is very similar to the passers-by who are about to be humiliated and humiliated in the book."

"Shut up!" Jiamin and Miss Yao turned their heads and stared at the little girl who was talking.

Last time, she also said that they were passers-by A, B, C, and D!

It's really funny, they came from a famous family and were born rich, how could they be passers-by? Are there such noble and beautiful passers-by

Several people came to the door of the box where they robbed their violinist and pushed open the door aggressively.

A young girl was leaning back on the soft slump, and several beautiful maids squeezed her legs, kneaded her shoulders and fed fruits, her posture was extremely leisurely.

"Are you here?" Seeing them coming, the girl raised her slender and tender arms, "Sit whatever you want, don't be polite."

"Hua Liuli, it's actually you... uh..." Before Miss Yao could say anything, Jiamin covered her mouth and she dragged Miss Yao out: "I'm sorry to bother you, you continue."

"Woooooo." Miss Yao broke Jiamin's hand with difficulty, "Jiamin, what are you doing?"

"I just don't think it's nice to make this kind of thing out." Jiamin coughed dryly, "Anyway, I want to rob you, but I won't go."

Miss Yao still remembered the small grievance between herself and Hua Liuli, and even reached out to pull the door closed by Jiamin.

"Anyway, Hua Liuli's health is not good, and she may faint in a single breath."

Miss Yao hesitated for a moment.

"After fainting, it is possible to call an imperial physician."

Miss Yao's hand stopped.

"If you call an imperial doctor, your uncle and aunt will know that you are the one who made the person sick."

Miss Yao retracted her hand.

"When my uncle and aunt are angry..."

"Forget it, it's not just a violinist." Miss Yao turned around and left, "There are so many good-looking men in the world, we don't care about such women."

Jiamin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her cousin gave up her plan to rob Hua Liuli. Ignorance people are really happy, the little cousin still doesn't know that she has turned around in the gate of hell.

Fortunately, my cousin and Hua Liuli have nothing to do with each other, so there should be no conflicts.

Before the few people walked away two steps, the door of the box was opened from the inside, and Hua Liuli stood at the door and waved to them: "Why are you leaving? Come, let's enjoy it together."

Jiamin's heart was full of rejection, with a stiff but polite smile on her face: "No, no need..."

"How about that, good sisters are a lifetime thing, how could there be a rift between us because of this trivial matter." Hua Liuli looked at Jiamin with a smile, "That's right, Sister Jiamin."

Jiamin: "No, I really don't need it. I think our box has a good view."

"That's it." Hua Liuli lowered her eyelids melancholy, "Since Sister Jiamin is unwilling, I won't force it, then I'll come and play with you tomorrow."

Jiamin's scalp was numb: "No need."

Hua Liuli frowned slightly: "Sister Jiamin doesn't want to play with me?"

Miss Yao: "Who wants to..."

Jiamin covered her little cousin's mouth with the fastest hand speed in her life: "Well, then I'll disturb you."

The little girl who was walking with Jiamin breathed a sigh of relief: "I made a mistake just now, we really are not passers-by, A, B, B, D, and we are supporting roles."

Miss Yao, who was covering her mouth and couldn't speak, stared angrily at the little sisters, can they have a good point, why can't they be the protagonists

After the little sisters entered the box, Miss Yao angrily looked at Jiamin in front of Hua Liuli, and her expression became even more angry.

"Don't talk." Jiamin noticed Miss Yao's expression and whispered in her ear, "I think it's good to be friends with Hua Liuli."

Because if you don't be friends with her, you may die.

Jiamin patted Sister Xiaotangke's shoulder with a face full of vicissitudes: "Cousin, you will definitely understand me, right?"

Jiamin's tone of voice has the taste of Hua Liuli? !

Miss Yao stared at her in disbelief, as if she was looking at a heartless person.

Among them, a hateful traitor appeared!
