When the song "Xiaoxiang Shuiyun" ended, Qu Yuesu withdrew his hand, got up gracefully, bowed slowly to the three of them, and returned to his seat.
Qu Qing Ju saw that her fingertips were a little red, her brows moved slightly, she turned her head to look at the cake in front of her, stretched out her hand, twisted a piece and ate it.
He Heng saw that the plate of salty and crispy cakes became less and less, and said, "Be careful of dry mouth." If you eat this kind of cakes at night, are you not afraid of becoming fat
Taking a sip of tea, Qu Qing Ju stopped eating pastries, but pointed to the fireworks outside the window with some emotion and said, "The fireworks from last year must be as beautiful as they are today, but unfortunately my concubine is in the mansion, so I can only see the fireworks. The light when the fireworks are set off makes it impossible to see how beautiful the fireworks are."
Hearing this, Qu Yuesu's heart skipped a beat. Last year's Shangyuan Festival, she and her younger brother went out of the house to enjoy lanterns. The eldest sister and the second sister were left in the house. In the past, she felt a little guilty, but there was no eldest sister. Really can play more comfortably. Now that she heard the elder sister mention this, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
"You will surely get tired of watching the fireworks every year in the future," He Heng tilted his head to look out the window, the fireworks reddened his pupils, making him a little dazzled, "Don't worry about the past." After speaking, he looked away. Continue to drink tea without a sip.
He Yuan, who was beside him, hadn't spoken much since he was choked by Qu Qing Ju, and apparently there was still some anger in his heart that he couldn't bear. It's just that for He Heng, He Yuan's anger is nothing, and tomorrow's affairs in the courtroom will only make him even more angry.
"Well," Qu Qingju stopped looking out the window. The wind blew her veil, revealing her fair neck, which was then covered by the veil. She rubbed the rim of the cup and said to the quiet Qu Yuesu, " Third sister's piano skills are getting better and better."
"Eldest sister is wrong," Qu Yuesu reluctantly laughed, knowing that the other party didn't like her very much, but she had to maintain a respectful look, "It's just that she plays a lot on weekdays."
Qu Qing Ju nodded, "You have always been much stronger than my elder sister."
"My eldest sister is beautiful and beautiful, how can my younger sister compare with her." Qu Yuesu got up and was blessed, and did not dare to take the words, but what he said was not so right.
Tianzi national color? Qu Qing Ju felt that she was saying that she was beautiful, but she had no ink in her chest, but she didn't mind. It was worth her pleasure when others praised her for her beauty. As for whether she had any brains, she was clear enough, what others said. , what can it represent
There is no one in the world who is not said, and who is not envied as a mediocre talent, and she has never been afraid of malicious slander by others.
Smiling indifferently, she put down the tea cup in her hand, and suddenly said, "There are fewer and fewer pedestrians by the river."
He Yuan looked out, seeing that there were a lot fewer people on the river bank, he said lightly: "It's getting late, let the boat dock." He couldn't bear to see the second child and his woman tired.
No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, there are times when the fireworks stop, the pedestrians on the river gradually decrease, and the excitement gradually turns into desolation.
The painting boat gradually came to the shore, Qu Qing Ju looked at the various colored lanterns that were still hanging by the river but no one appreciated it, and remembered the jade rabbit lantern she let the servants hold.
"Who is watching that lamp?" He Heng helped Qu Qing Ju go downstairs and asked about the lamp's whereabouts.
"Don't worry, Qian Changxin is so easy to carry," He Heng walked down the last step, and saw that Qu Qingju was reluctant to make the crude jade rabbit lamp, and the smile on his face became a little thicker, "The house is also hung up. Less lanterns, I will let you choose a few beautiful ones to hang in the main courtyard when I return home."
Qu Qing Ju nodded, and went down the deck with He Heng. Looking around, she found that the sky was already misty, and there was a little bit of chill.
Qian Chang believed in the cloaks of the two of them, and waited for the prince to put it on first, and was about to wait for Qu Qing Ju, but was waved back by He Heng and started to take action himself.
The soft Shu brocade cape was embroidered with light patterns, and it had a hazy beauty under the moonlight. Seeing that He Heng had put the cape on her, Qu Qing Ju lowered her head to tie the belt, but was snatched by He Heng.
He Heng's fingers were trimmed cleanly, and the knuckles were somewhat obvious, giving a very strong and reliable feeling. Qu Qingju smiled, raised her chin and let He Heng fasten her cape.
Qu Yuesu stood quietly in the corner, no one served her diligently, and even everyone looked at her, she looked at the picture in front of Duan Wang bowing his head and tying a cape for her sister, and suddenly felt embarrassed and ironic. Now the eldest sister is at the top, and countless people hold Princess Duan who is waiting for her, but she herself has to try her best to please Rui Wang, even if she is successful, it is just a side room.
"Since it's not early, the second brother and the second sister-in-law should go back to rest earlier," He Yuan said when he saw He Heng's movements stopped, "I should also go back to the house."
The carriages in the two houses had long stopped, waiting for the master to return to the house. After He Yuan said this, he walked towards the carriage in his house.
Qu Yuesu, who followed him, hesitated for a moment, and after blessing He Heng and Qu Qing Ju, he followed He Yuan's footsteps to the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion.
Qu Qing Ju watched Prince Rui's mansion's carriage leave, and the smile on his face became more sarcastic, "Prince Rui is really a man of temperament."
He Heng said with a smile, "He has this kind of temper since he was a child, and because of this, I don't know how many troubles he has had with his eldest brother. It's just that the royal father favors him, which has made him more and more ... personality over the years."
Being able to make He Heng say the word favoritism shows how biased Emperor Qingde is and how offended He Yuan is. It stands to reason that such a prince who is favored by the emperor must be supported by many people, in order to obtain the power of the dragon, but this King Rui has not many people with him, which shows that his arrogance is so arrogant that the courtiers feel He will play off one day.
However, maybe Emperor Qingde likes his waywardness, or at least feels more at ease with him
Feeling that she was thinking a little too far, Qu Qing Ju let out a sigh of relief, "I don't know why the third sister would follow Prince Rui, this matter is getting more and more chaotic." She couldn't talk about the affairs of the princes, so she had to talk about the topic. Go to the mansion of Changde.
"What they do has nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about these people," He Heng understood He Yuan's plan in his heart. Slap yourself in the face, so that you can anger Qing Ju
Thinking of this, He Heng thought it was a little funny. He was not a hairy boy, so how could he be angry because of these things? He Yuan's idea of saving others by himself was really not suitable for him.
When they returned to the palace, it was already late at night. The servants had already hung the lanterns in the main courtyard. Qu Qingju and He Heng went to sleep after washing, but they were in a good mood and were not affected by He Yuan in the slightest.
On the other hand, after He Yuan returned to the mansion, he made a big fire, and even Qin Bailu's request for consultation was ignored, but he just ordered the servants to send Qu Yuesu back to the mansion of Changde.
Qin Bailu was so angry that he almost smashed things when he heard that the prince and the third lady from Changde's mansion were viewing the lanterns, but in the end, he still suppressed his anger. Changde's mansion is not a princess, how could he think Send another daughter to be the side room
Reluctantly suppressing the anger in his heart, Qin Bailu thought bitterly, no matter what, if this woman really entered the palace, she would not be the master of Lianxiangxiyu.
In the early morning of the second day of the Shangyuan Festival, a major incident broke out in the court. The imperial envoy sent to Jiangnan was attacked by assassins before they arrived in Jiangnan. King Cheng was stabbed in the arm, and the fever persisted. Wei Wenguang was seriously injured and is now unconscious.
There was an uproar in the whole dynasty. Who would have the courage to assassinate the imperial envoy? Could it be that someone wanted to kill and silence him
