Chapter 124: Inevitable

Helian laughed and blurted out Jiang Xiaoyun's surprise, and couldn't help being stunned: "What did you say?"
Helian smiled with a pair of beautiful fire-breathing eyes, and at this moment it became more and more aggressive: "I have tolerated her everywhere, never dared to be an enemy of her, how dare she treat me like this, and even snatched my fiance!"
Hearing her talking intermittently, Jiang Xiaoyun vaguely understood: "You mean... the third highness is going to divorce?"
"No, it's not a divorce, it's a substitution!" Helian laughed extremely sharply, his expression was like a sharp blade out of its sheath, with a cold light that could not be blocked.
Jiang Xiaoyun frowned even more tightly, and fell silent for a while: "How could this be?"
Helian smiled and cried bitterly. Her tears seemed to never stop, she wanted to cry out all her grievances and anger. After a while, the Huzhou scented veil of Fang's butterfly and flower became wet. It was dripping, and his eyes were red. This pear flower's appearance with rain is almost different from the anger just now.
Jiang Xiaoyun quickly and gently persuaded me: "I am still confused about the change of marriage. You should make your words clear so that you have no brains, how can I help you?"
Helian laughed and coughed, but was speechless. Jiang Xiaoyun stepped forward and gently patted her back, coaxing her like a child, and comforted her for a while. Helian smiled reluctantly to speak: "His Royal Highness came to the mansion for a banquet yesterday, does Sister-in-law know?"
"This... I know it naturally. But what does it matter if you are a family and come and go?"
"Before my father ordered me to avoid it, but I didn’t take it seriously. After all, it’s not good for unmarried couples to meet each other. Later, my father even called Jiang Xiaolou and He Lianhui to accompany the Lower Garden of the Third Hall. Do the best of the landlord...Who knows that they have other feelings and want to replace me with Jiang Xiaolou to become the prince."
"Is this news serious?" Jiang Xiaoyun looked at her for a moment, barely speaking.
"It's true! Sister-in-law, what should I do, what should I do! Everyone knows that I am about to become the third prince and concubine, and now I am changing, how can I explain it to others? People will treat me as a big man. A joke, even a woman abandoned by the royal family, my marriage in the future..."
Jiang Xiaoyun's thoughts were sinking, and the fact that Princess Danfeng would soon become the third prince and concubine was already known to everyone, but at this time the bride changed people, and anyone with a discerning eye would immediately think of the disaster of Anhua County. In this way, who can Helianxiao marry in the future? The third prince didn't want her, and others didn't dare to ask her. This ruined her life! When she thought of this, her face became harder to look. More importantly, the prince princess agreed with the marriage. After all, Helianxiao is a member of their family. He can insert a nail beside the third prince, and it may be useful at an important moment.
"Is there no room for change? Are you sure that Jiang Xiaolou is the replacement candidate?" Jiang Xiaoyun's eyes were dark and terrifying.
Helian laughed and couldn't help resenting, and gritted his teeth and said: "Will I still compose such news to lie to you?"
Jiang Xiaoyun still has doubts: "His Royal Highness is always cautious. Without the permission of the emperor, he would never dare to be so presumptuous..."
Helian smiled, and his heart became more excited, and his eyes became more and more red: "That's natural! The queen admires Jiang Xiaolou very much, so she invited her into the palace every so often, talked with her, played chess, and even brought her majesty. Love her. Jiang Xiaolou's identity is not easy to find a perfect marriage, the queen helped her to seize my three highness!"
Jiang Xiaoyun took a deep breath: "Oh, all of this is not your second brother's. If he hadn't caused such a catastrophic disaster, how could he have fallen to this point, you would not lose it because of his involvement. Door marriage."
The Liuyun charcoal in the furnace blazed steeply, making a crackle. Helian smiled and raised his face, unable to conceal his hatred: "This is the end of the matter. It is useless to say anything. Sister-in-law, you are looking forward to my marriage to the Three Princes' Mansion. I have promised you and will do my best in the future. I can return it to you. But in this way, both of us will fail. It's not that I didn't keep the promise, but that people refused to give me this opportunity..."
Jiang Xiaoyun had already understood everything, the other party's meaning was just to let himself extend a helping hand, but this fact is a bit embarrassing. She walked back and forth two steps in the room, her eyebrows getting tighter, and her footsteps seemed a little hesitant. Immediately, she turned around abruptly: "Smile, there is only one way now."
"what way?"
"Go ask the princess."
"Please, the princess? On the surface, the princess treats me well, but she has always been jealous of me. After all, there is aunt Shun’s hatred there, and we can’t get along well. What use is there for me to ask her now, but it's humiliating. Chance!" Helian smiled without thinking about it, and the refutation almost blurted out.
Jiang Xiaoyun gently took her hand, but she was bitterly persuaded on her face: "Even if she refuses to help you, there will always be a bit of wind. It is better than we are sitting in trouble and sad city. You cry here. What's the use of blind eyes? Let's try it out!"
He Lianxiao forcefully held back the depression in his chest, and reluctantly said: "Then I will go find out. If they insist on not letting go, don't blame me for being impolite... It's a big deal, no one thinks about it. Good!"
Jiang Xiaoyun was startled, Helian smiled like a cloud, with golden beads and green hair, magnificent, but he couldn't hide the cold hatred in his eyes, which shocked people's hearts.
Unconsciously, Jiang Xiaoyun was frightened, only feeling cold and cold, and subconsciously withdrew his hand.
Jiang Xiaolou went out to inspect the shop, and as soon as he entered the palace, he was invited to his yard by Princess Qing. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Helianxiao, who had not seen him for a long time, sitting in a chair. In a begonia red dress with a gold-inlaid bead and emerald hairpin in his hair, Jiang Xiaolou recognized that this hairpin was the makeup that the princess personally gave to Helianxiao that day. The flower type is made up of gold silk, jasper, ruby ​​and pearls in series. The gold is the flower, the jasper is the leaf, the gem is the petal, and the round pearl is decorated. The shape is unique and priceless. Only at this moment, Helian smiled with red eyes, especially eye-catching.
When Princess Qing saw Jiang Xiaolou, her expression was still serious, she could not see a trace of smile, but quietly winked her eyes twice. Jiang Xiaolou understood, with a faint smile on his face: "It turned out that it was Princess Danfeng who was visiting."
Helian smiled and looked up to see Jiang Xiaolou. She was dressed in a plain blue shirt. She had no other accessories except a jade pendant around her waist, but she looked more and more beautiful and compelling. Her heart was sour, but not To answer her words, she turned her face, and said to the princess with more grief: "Mother, today I have something urgent to ask you."
Princess Qing was stunned, but she knew very well in her heart, but she had no choice but to deliberately wonder: "Oh, what matters?"
Helian smiled and gritted his teeth, suddenly got up and bowed down at the feet of the princess, stunned the princess, and quickly tried to help her get up, but she squatted on the ground, her coquettish face was dull because of the sun on her back, and her eyes seemed to be With the flame, it was about to burn into the heart of Princess Qing: "Mother, I know... His Royal Highness the Third Prince will cancel my marriage!"
Princess Qing became more anxious in her heart, her eyes dimmed slightly: "Where did you hear about this?" After speaking, a pair of eyes swept across the people around her, very harsh, "Who is chewing the tongue in front of the princess."
Helian laughed and took a deep breath, tears rolled down, and his red lips stained with mouth fat trembled uncontrollably, and said sincerely: "Mother, I have been engaged to the Third Royal Highness two years ago. The month is the wedding day... But now he inexplicably refuses to marry, mother, everything is because of my unsatisfied second brother, so I dare not blame others, only ask my mother to allow me to leave home, better than being in the world Bear everyone's eyes..."
Princess Qing hurriedly said: "I'm full of nonsense, how can I just talk about becoming a monk because of this, don't say such things anymore, get up!"
Helian laughed but refused to get up. He still knelt there, crying in tears: "Since ancient times, women’s marriages have been made by their parents and matchmakers. Ordinary people have a marriage certificate as proof. The matchmakers are all present before they can reach an agreement to officially retreat. But the three are from the royal family, where do I go to find the marriage certificate, and whom to ask for justice? I can only be dumb, smash my teeth and swallow it! The daughter understands, the father and My mother is very worried about this and shouldn’t add to your burden. But as a woman, being abandoned halfway through, I’m not acceptable at all. If it weren’t for my parents, I’d already hit my head. To die, to show your innocence, so as not to tarnish the lintel of the Qing Palace. If my mother really loves me, let me go!"
When Jiang Xiaolou saw her talking in tears, but every word was threatening the princess, his smile became even weaker: "Princess Danfeng, you said that the parents of the body are affected by the skin, why bother to cut your hair and become a nun? Isn't it embarrassing the princess?"
Helian laughed with a deep hatred, tears flowed more fiercely, and ignored: "Mother, this is a last resort for me. If the Third Highness really retreats from this marriage, Xiaoer is afraid that he will never be among the famous ladies again. Based on it, even if you go out to socialize in the future, you will lose face!"
Princess Qing sighed. Although she and Aunt Shun had been guilty for many years, Princess Danfeng was only a child after all. There was no major mistake in the past, and she was respectful to herself. As an aunt, she should have planned a good marriage for the other party, which is also good for the prosperity of the Qing Palace. But this time, the third highness himself offered to divorce, and even invited his majesty to move, even King Qing could not imagine. After thinking about it, she became more and more difficult to deal with, so she had to persuade her: "You know what kind of personality the Three Highnesses are. You know better than us. Since he has made up his mind, I'm afraid this matter can't be turned around. Laugh. Son, do you think this is good? If the news of your retired marriage goes out, you will leave the capital and go to Liangzhou Fuyi Mountain Villa for a year or a half. I will ask someone to take good care of it. When the limelight is over, my mother will try to do something for you. Find a good match."
Princess Qing was born in a high family, and her ancestors started from Liangzhou. She wanted to use her natal family's resources to shelter Helianxiao. The so-called finding another good relationship, this capital's nobleman should not think about it. It must be married by choosing a family from other prefectures. If it is an ordinary woman, it is also a good place. After all, the elder brother has done such evil things, and his reputation will also be affected. If you marry far away, the news is not clear, and the other people will see it in the face of the Qing Dynasty. treat. However, Helian smiled wholeheartedly as she flew up to the branch to be the prince and concubine, how could she easily give up this beautiful future?
Helian's smile changed, and her voice was hoarse: "So my mother refused to help me and pushed me out!" After speaking, she got up and pulled out the scissors hidden deep in her arms, into the crystal eyes. Implied resentment: "Mother, if you insist on not helping me, then I will cut my hair here today!" After she said that, she had pulled out the golden hairpin and threw it on the ground, and the scissors suddenly approached a waterfall-like blue silk.
Princess Qing did not expect such abrupt behavior of her, her heart shrank fiercely, and exclaimed: "No!"
Jiang Xiaolou gave a wink, Xiaodie had already rushed up, and grabbed Helianxiao's hand. Helianxiao struggled desperately. When the other maidservants didn’t see well, they also rushed over, holding each other tightly. Can't help. Looking around, the shadows of the pearl hairpin, the red dress and the green sleeves, are almost intertwined, and the colors are mixed and chaotic. Xiaodie pushed hard, and the scissors in Helian Xiao's hand fell to the ground, and suddenly he let out a crisp sound.
Helianxiao didn't really want to cut her hair, but just doing it, so she lost her scissors along the way. Princess Qing didn't know the truth or not, she just felt that the girl was very pitiful, she couldn't help sighing, and her face was sad: "Why are you? If I had a way, I would have already thought about it for you. Isn't there really no way? Think about it. This is a royal marriage, so why should we pick and choose? If there is no such thing as the Anhua County King, there is still room for turnover in this matter. Now the third highness refuses to accept you as his full concubine anymore. What can you do? Don't say you come to beg me, I'm afraid you are going to beg the empress, she is also powerless!"
Helian's smile changed several times, but he suddenly rushed to Jiang Xiaolou, and fell to his knees all of a sudden, tears rolled down, a blue silk was like a shiny satin, draped messily on his shoulders, looking extremely miserable. . She grabbed the skirt of Jiang Xiaolou, and her voice kept trembling: "Princess Mingyue, you and I have no grievances, and have no grievances. Although my mother is sorry for you, my second brother has always tried every means to persecute you, but I But I have never harmed you! You go to the Third Highness and say that you don't want to marry him, so I..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help frowning. When the princess Qing didn't look good, she hurriedly stopped and said, "Shut up, the more you have no rules, how can you say such vain words!"
Helian smiled and looked at Princess Qing with tears all over his face: "Mother, what are you doing to hide from me when this is the point? The third majesty wants to change relatives. Isn't it the Princess Mingyue? Yes, she is you. The righteous daughter, but I am also the daughter of the royal family. Think about it, I and the third prince are already engaged, if he is so abandoned now, I have only a dead end, why you only want to think about your righteous daughter, totally unexpected Where is the innocent affected me?"
When the words came out, Princess Qing glanced at Helian and smiled, unable to hide the complexity of her heart.
Jiang Xiaolou gently shook her head, she was not interested in Duguke, and she didn't want to be the third prince. The change of relatives was only Duguke's initial thoughts, and it has not become a real conclusion, but Jiang Xiaolou can be sure that even if she shirks the matter in the end, Helianxiao will never become the third prince. But now I laughed and talked about this with Helian, I'm afraid she wouldn't listen...In order to become the prince and concubine, she did not hesitate to act on her biological mother. This obsession is really chilling.
Princess Qing couldn’t help but stepped forward and said softly,
Smile, you’re not a foolish person. Whether or not your Three Highness marries Mingyue is the second best thing. The most important thing is that he doesn’t want to marry you! Even if it’s not Mingyue, he I would choose other ladies instead of..."
He Lianxiao obviously didn't think that way. Prince Qing's Mansion was the power that the Third Highness needed most, and he couldn't give up. Except for her, Princess Danfeng, the most suitable candidate is Jiang Xiaolou. After all, He Lianhui is a concubine, and has never been taken seriously in the mansion. It is far less useful than Jiang Xiaolou, which is favored by the empress. Everyone can see that what Duguke needs is a political marriage. Whether he chooses Helianxiao or Jiang Xiaolou, he has only one purpose, and that is to consolidate his political power and marry more support. Even if he knew this, Helianxiao still had no hesitation in marrying the other party. The answer was very simple. What she wanted was not Duguke himself, but the royal power and the power of the prince and concubines represented by the other party.
She wants to fly to the branches, she wants everyone to look up, she wants to get rid of her status as a concubine forever, she wants to soar into the sky!
Helian smiled with sadness, but his eyes were unbearable resentment, and he refused to believe the words of Princess Qing. Jiang Xiaolou's expression was very cold. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Princess Danfeng, no matter what the three princes think, the change of marriage is nonsense."
"But if he invites the imperial decree, what should you do?" Helian smiled with a raging fire in his eyes, almost burning everything.
The more aggressive the other party, the more vulgar and vulgar, Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: "No one can force me to do what I don't like. I can't marry the Third Highness. You can rest assured that Princess Danfeng is on this point."
Helian smiled and looked at Jiang Xiaolou deeply. The other's eyes were very calm and gentle, and they seemed to be sincere, with no trace of lying. Helianxiao didn't believe it after all, and finally couldn't help but said, "Can you swear to heaven?"
"Xiao'er, how can you be so rude?" Princess Qing became angry and scolded angrily, "Xiaolou didn't owe you anything, so how can you swear easily! If you are really worried, you can go to your Highness. This matter has nothing to do with Xiaolou. Don't play around here, you must remember your identity, lest others look down on you even more!"
"But mother..." Helian's smile turned pale, with a helpless appearance, but she was hiding evil intentions. Although she was wrong, she urgently needed Jiang Xiaolou's guarantee.
Jiang Xiaolou smiled softly: "Such a trivial matter is not worth swearing, Princess Danfeng, the reason why His Royal Highness III wants to divorce you is because of the influence of the Anhua Prince. The other is because he thinks I am more Useful value. If you insist on marrying the third prince, please go to him to solve it yourself, let him understand all the benefits you can bring to him, and persuade him to change his mind, I will not interfere, let alone interested."
Helian smiled with red and swollen eyes and pale skin. He looked like a ray of wandering soul, so he could only stare at Jiang Xiaolou without saying a word.
Princess Qing quickly instructed Chao Yun Muyu next to him: "What are you two doing in a daze? Don't you want to comb your hair for Princess Danfeng." The two girls hurried up holding the makeup box and comb, and pulled Helian laughed for him. She pulled up her hair again. During this process, Helian's eyes never left Jiang Xiaolou, seeming to weigh whether everything she said was true or false.
Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help but sighed softly. This was truly a disaster. She didn't mean anything to Duguke. The reason why the other party valued her was to get more support from the empress. And Helianxiao didn't have any feelings for Duguke, it was just for the position of the third prince concubine, what did these two people do with her Jiang Xiaolou? She thought about it for a moment and looked at Princess Qing and said, "Mother, please go into the palace for me to clarify with the queen empress, and she said that she did not agree with this marriage, and asked her to choose another marriage."
Princess Qing was taken aback when he heard this. Is Jiang Xiaolou really going to give up Duguke? She glanced at Princess Danfeng, her face was a little surprised: "Okay, I will try my best."
Helian smiled, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She knew that Jiang Xiaolou's heart was arrogant, and the more peaceful he was on the surface, the more impatient to toss. Today's appearance was first to show weakness, then to urge the generals, to seek the sympathy of Princess Qing, and to confess Jiang Xiaolou's heart, and she achieved her goal. If he asked Princess Qing to go into the palace to beg the empress as soon as he opened his mouth, it would be impossible to make this trip. She only stood up when she thought of this, and gratefully said to Jiang Xiaolou: "I misunderstood you, and now I am very sorry..."
Jiang Xiaolou had already understood her intentions, and indeed did not comment: "Don't thank me, I just do what I should do."
After Helian left with a triumphant smile, Princess Qing couldn't help but said to Jiang Xiaolou: "What do you care about her? The third prince will never marry her even if he doesn't marry you. It's just a daydream and he thinks he is smart. It's very."
The corner of Jiang Xiaolou's mouth can't help but rise slightly: "Mother always thinks this is a good marriage."
"Of course it is! Xiaolou, don't blame me for being long-winded. Those wealthy and nobles in the capital flatter and hold you on the surface, and secretly say that you are just a business woman of unknown origin, and no one is willing to marry such a girl. Be a daughter-in-law at home. Many of those inferior ones are concubines and make a way for the family. Think about it, how can your mother be willing to marry you to such a person? Want to find a right marriage, It’s really difficult! Although His Royal Highness the Three Princes has no purpose, as long as there is a queen empress in one day, no one will dare to move your position."
Princess Qing said this from the bottom of his heart. King Qing has loved Aunt Shun for so many years, but has never touched Princess Qing. The real reason lies in her natal power and the support of the empress. Therefore, she also hopes that Jiang Xiaolou can consider this as the first element of marriage consideration. After all, her own marriage has long proved that the royal family has only eternal benefits, but no lasting true love.
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but said: "I know, you are looking for someone who suits your own liking. But if you think about it, Aunt Shun is in line with the prince's mind. After a long time, the fairy has become just a footstep. Where is she now? You have seen all of this with your own eyes. Why do you want to pursue illusory things? It is better to seize the real marriage in front of you. The most important thing! As for Helian smile, this Everything is her own responsibility. If it weren't for what her mother and second brother did, where did the third prince come from, you can leave her alone!"
Prince Jin is certainly a beautiful man with both civil and military skills, but he is not the emperor’s biological son. There is no hope in the battle for the throne. He has to bear the fear and hostility of countless people. Naturally, the three princes Dogoke is more secure...
What the princess Qing said to be reasonable is also human nature. Although she is kind-hearted and fair in doing things, she can't help but bring a three-point jealousy to Aunt Shun's children. If Helianxiao succeeds in marrying the third prince, then she will not know what kind of crazy revenge her forbearance will turn into in the future. After all, the sons and daughters taught by Aunt Shun... how can they be better? Princess Qing did not want to be a farmer bitten by a snake. Since the three princes insisted on not marrying, she decided to choose another wealthy marriage for Helianxiao and let her marry away from afar without seeing her heart. Everyone wanted to A quiet.
Jiang Xiaolou knew what it meant and couldn't refute it. He just smiled and said, "Mother, the third prince, I will never marry. If my mother really cares about me, please go and explain to the empress."
Seeing her painstakingly persuading Jiang Xiaolou to refuse to obey, Princess Qing couldn't help but sighed deeply: "I really don't know what you are thinking in your heart. I really can't do anything."
As soon as Princess Qing finished speaking, she heard King Qing laugh loudly: "Wang Hao, Xiaolou, both of them are here! Okay, I'll look for it elsewhere without saving!"
Jiang Xiaolou immediately saluted the other party and said respectfully: "I have seen the prince."
"Hey, how many times have I told you that I am called father! I am always called the prince, and I look very strange. You are the righteous daughter of the princess, that is, my daughter." The smile on Wang Qing's face is very kind, and his expression is also kind Father in general.
Jiang Xiaolou's eyes were clear, and he calmly said, "Xiaolou has seen his father."
"Okay, okay, it's my blessing to have a beautiful and talented daughter like you!" Qing Wang walked to the upright position and sat down, his eyes lightly fell on Jiang Xiaolou's body, his smile deepened, "I'm just right. If you have something important, your Highness the Three has made appointments three times in a row and you have shied away. This afternoon he asked you to swim in the lake. It is not good to be rude."
Jiang Xiaolou glanced at Princess Qing and smiled unconsciously: "Father wants Xiaolou to go?"
King Qing nodded and said: "His Royal Highness is an upright gentleman. It does no harm if you have a lot of contact with him, not to mention just swimming in the lake. It's not easy to keep making excuses to shirk. It seems that my Qing Palace is unreasonable. Your mind...speak face to face. It's good to be clear."
Princess Qing was a little anxious, and was about to say no, but heard Jiang Xiaolou obeyed: "Father's request, Xiaolou dare not follow her life."
Seeing that Jiang Xiaolou agreed so easily, Wang Qing felt a little surprised, and immediately smiled with a stretched eyebrow: "Okay, it's no wonder that the princess loves her, she is really a sensible daughter." He looked calm and clear, as if he was a real father. Full of concerns about Jiang Xiaolou.
When Jiang Xiaolou reached the shore, he saw an extremely beautiful painting boat parked by the lake, bright yellow roof, vermilion cabin, carved window panes, double anchors in the front, rudder blades in the back, and a couplet hanging above: Draw pictures in spring along the coast; move buildings around the city. A servant girl in Tsing Yi was already waiting, and when she saw Jiang Xiaolou, she bowed her head respectfully and said: "Princess Mingyue, Your Royal Highness is waiting inside."
Jiang Xiaolou walked all the way into the cabin, the cabin was burning with quiet sandalwood, exuding a simple and long fragrance, which made this dreamlike painting even more lazy and intoxicating. Duguke was sitting on the edge of the red wood table, and when he saw Jiang Xiaolou coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The sunlight came in through the carved window panes, and the cabin of the originally well-lit cabin became brighter, but when Jiang Xiaolou appeared, the full cabin was suppressed.
Duguke was in a momentary trance, as if he saw a green lotus moving slightly along the bead curtain, walking in front of him silently.
Danfeng Princess He Lianxiao is a well-known beauty in Beijing, but her beauty is too gorgeous and gorgeous. However, Jiang Xiaolou has only a beautiful face, which is not so amazing at first glance. After you taste it carefully, the rippling water and the black and white eyes can make people forget everything.
Duguke got up, with a smile on his mouth: "Thank you Princess Mingyue for your honor, I thought I still couldn't date you today."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled unconsciously: "His Three Highnesses were kindly invited, but Xiaolou was disrespectful."
Duguke looked at each other, and Mingrui's eyes softened a lot, "Then please sit down."
There are several exquisite desserts on the table, a pot of tea and two jasper cups.
After seated, Jiang Xiaolou raised his eyes and looked into the distance. At this time, the guard in charge of punting had already opened the bamboo poles and let Huafang sway all the way to the middle of the lake. The breeze blew, the whole lake was so clear that it was not bottomless, and the green was endless. Between the paintings, the lake was shimmering, fish jumping from time to time, and white birds swept over the water occasionally. The pavilions and pavilions on the shore are exquisite and elegant. From time to time, girls in Chinese clothes poked their heads out of the oil-walled car, and the young men in Jinyi were wandering around on the green horses. The turquoise lake water is the same color as the deep blue sky, like weaving tourists and the gorgeous scenery, like a beautiful huge picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of it, it is really refreshing.
Duguke just smiled and said, "I take the liberty to invite you here. I wonder if I will bother you?"
There was a faint smile on Jiang Xiaolou's lips: "It is thanks to the kindness of the Three Highnesses to enjoy such a beautiful scenery."
The smile on Duguke’s face became more gentle: "This lake has beautiful scenery all year round. In spring, bridges with smoke and willows, clouds and trees cage yarn; in summer, lotus leaves and fields, lotus flowers are blooming; autumn, reed flowers are flying, and red maple is red. ; In winter, it’s covered in silver, fishing alone in the heart of the river. If you can live by the lake all year round, it’s really fun on earth."
Jiang Xiaolou only smiled softly when he heard the words: "Unexpectedly, the Third Highness still has this kind of Yaxing."
Dugu Klang laughed: "You think that being a prince should be very boring, thinking about national affairs, political gains and losses all day long? In fact, when I was a child, I often sneaked out of the palace, especially like strolling by the lake and forgetting about it. I even sneaked into the middle of the lake and picked lotus leaves to make wine glasses. Unfortunately, the lotus has lost early, otherwise the princess can also have a taste of the taste. It is really refreshing and wonderful."
Jiang Xiaolou had a rare smile on his face: "The ancients said, the wine smells mixed with lotus, the fragrance is better than water, and the three highnesses can be described as master drinkers."
From beginning to end, Jiang Xiaolou had a polite tone, but when he talked about the lotus leaf cup, a trace of nostalgia flashed across his eyes. The eldest brother also often cut the lotus leaf with the stem in the lake, and pulled her hairpin to pierce the heart of the leaf so that the puncture hole communicates with the hollow lotus stem. Then he stole his father's favorite wine and poured it into the lotus leaf, then bend the hollow lotus stem and drink from the end of the stem. Not only the wine is mellow, but also the lotus is fragrant. It is almost drunk without drinking. Father was looking everywhere with a stick, but he laughed and climbed onto the roof to drink. Later, he invented a method of storage, which can keep the lotus leaves from drying for three years. When he goes out for a long trip, he always carries the lotus leaf cup with him, so happy.
"Actually, I already wanted to get acquainted with Princess Mingyue." Of course Duguke didn't know Jiang Xiaolou's thoughts, but keenly sensed her emotional changes, and said without a trace.
Jiang Xiaolou still held the tea cup, but quietly said: "Why does your Highness Three know me?"
Duguke Xindao, who doesn't know the name of Princess Mingyue in this capital? But she was the daughter of a small businessman. Not only did she climb into Princess Qing, she is now favored by the Queen. This opportunity is a rare opportunity. I don't know how many people want to send their daughter to accompany the Queen, but in the end they all touched cold nails. The empress is not easy to get close to, and not everyone can climb it. Jiang Xiaolou doesn't have two brushes, so how can it be now?
On his face, he said calmly: "Princess Mingyue has noble temperament and talent. Many people walk around in front of the palace of Qing Dynasty just to get a glimpse of your demeanor. I am also a layman, and of course I have curiosity. Seeing you at the banquet, I can't even say a few words. I can sit down and talk in detail today, and I feel so happy in my heart."
Jiang Xiaolou smiled amicably, but couldn't hide the distance from his eyes: "Your Highness is joking."
At this time, a maid brought two fine porcelain plates. The fine porcelain was clean and elegant, as white as jade, covered with a pair of cyan bamboo chopsticks. Jiang Xiaolou couldn't help being surprised. He looked at the other person and said, "Is this going to have a meal on the boat? I had known that, so your Highness might as well inform me earlier. I only came after having a meal."
Hearing what she said, Duguke chuckled slightly. He took the initiative to open the porcelain plate, and the aroma was fragrant for a while, and he just persuaded, "Try it."
Jiang Xiaolou raised her chopsticks suspiciously, tasted it, and was startled. She was born in a family of riches and nobles. She cherished the precious fish and didn’t know how much she had eaten. But this fish was plump and delicious and melted in the mouth. Haunting on the tip of the tongue, I don't know how to describe it.
Jiang Xiaolou only tasted one piece, so he immediately stopped eating.
Duguke raised his lips: "Why, doesn't it taste bad?"
Jiang Xiao still smiled like water on the floor, but crushed ice floated on his dark pupils: "Although it tastes good, it's a pity it is poisonous."
"Princess Mingyue is really knowledgeable." Duguke's smile became deeper, but he was very interested. "Yes, this kind of fish blood is poisonous, and the poison of internal organs is deeper. If you don't know how to cook, you will suffer from respiratory failure after eating. Death. But you can rest assured, as long as you drain the blood when you kill, and remove the internal organs to prevent it from contaminating the fish, nothing will happen."
Jiang Xiaolou looked at the white and milky fish soup and sighed softly: "Blood is poisonous, and the internal organs are more poisonous, but the bone marrow and roe are the most poisonous. Most of the fishermen who die of this kind of fish are because they are very skilled at killing fish. Everyone likes the freshest fish eggs, so if you are not careful, you will die. It can be seen that your statement is not foolproof."
Duguke didn't care, opened the lid and feasted on it. Not long after, he stopped his chopsticks and said to Jiang Xiaolou: "The princess has never heard of an anecdote from His Royal Highness, and it is related to this puffer fish."
"Oh, I would like to hear the details."
"Five years ago, the prince went to Mingzhou for inspection and brought back a fisherman's girl as a concubine. He was tired of the delicacies of mountains and seas. He followed the fisherman's suggestion and bought a large number of puffer fish to go back, and invited a chef who specializes in cooking to cook it. The puffer fish is delicious. Everyone knows that the salivating guests rushed to eat, and in the blink of an eye, they divided 30 pufferfish and ate them. When they were evaluating, they suddenly found that the Book of Rites fell to the ground in vain, foaming at the mouth and all over the body. I was convulsed and unconscious. In my panic, I thought it was poisoned by taking the puffer fish. I hurried to ask the fisher girl how to detoxify, and replied with the yellow soup. The prince immediately ordered to go to the latrine to take the yellow soup. The ground grabbed the dung water and drank it, and immediately even the internal organs were poured out. The entire Prince's Mansion was smelly and messy. The Prince was about to arrest the chef and ask the guilt, but the Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites fell to the ground and was shocked when he saw it. It turned out that because the puffer fish was too delicious, he was eating well and had epilepsy for a while... You say, is it not ridiculous?"
Jiang Xiaolou just looked at each other with a smile and declined to comment. Duguke mocked the prince, not just idle.
Seeing that her expression was still, Duguke had only a faint smile on her lips. She didn't know the depth of the temptation, and decided to get straight to the point: "I invite the princess to come today, presumably you should know my purpose."
Jiang Xiaolou's long eyelashes moved, and a faint mockery was suppressed under his eyes: "Of course I know what your Highness meant, but unfortunately...I can only disappoint you."
"why?"
Jiang Xiaolou smiled, picked up the tea cup, took two sips slowly, and then replied: "I'm taking the luck of the lonely star of the gods, to defeat my parents and my children. As for the husband, there is no way to survive, only It’s good to be a lonely person. It’s for the sake of your Highness that he refuses to follow.
Hearing this, Duguke was startled at first, and then burst into laughter. His loud laughter alarmed the fish in the lake, causing ripples.
Duguke rolled his eyes and slowly said, "I have always sneered at the fate."
This... she didn't expect it. Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly: "Usually people will believe in fate. Isn't it true that the Third Highness is not afraid of being defeated?"
Duguke's expression is extraordinarily peaceful, and he is completely different from the shrewd and powerful appearance of the past. He just sinks his mind and sonorously: "I don't believe in fate, only believe in myself. I believe, and the same is true of the princess!"
The sunlight fell on Duguke's white face, and a faint golden layer floated under his dark eyes, and a few strands fell on his forehead, making it more and more prosperous and outstanding. His eyes seem to be gentle, but in fact there is a kind of determination that is inevitable. It can be seen that the law of marriage exchange of the three princes must be implemented to the end!
