Yezhao Sandbar

Duan Qianmo walked out of the hut, Hou Zaiyun outside leaned over and followed, leaving a wide distance between them, walking slowly on the stone path.

After walking for a while, Duan Qianmo stopped, looked back at the cloud and mist for a while, and asked, "Aside from doing some chores, what else does he do every day?"

Yun Wu thought for a moment, then shook her head, "The servant is with Ah Xi every day, so I don't think there's anything suspicious."

Duan Qianmo's question was subtle, while Yun Wu's answer was straightforward.

"Well, help me keep an eye on him."

Yun Wu raised her head, pondered for a while, and said, "Your servant can only look after good people, but not your heart. If Ah Xi's heart is not here, the prince should not blame this servant for slack and dereliction of duty."

Duan Qianmo glared at her indifferently, and said coolly: "My lord, wouldn't it be ridiculous for you to see his heart!"

Yun Wu smiled slightly, and said back: "The servant can't watch his heart, and the prince may not be able to watch him either!"

These words were in the middle of Duan Qianmo's heart, he hooked his lips, and asked with a helpless smile: "You have a good face, but you can see what he thinks in his heart?"

This is the fulfillment of the saying of rushing to the doctor in a hurry, but the onlookers can see clearly, and the cloud and mist can see clearly, she sorted out her thoughts, and said in a way that did not offend Duan Qianmo as much as possible: "My servant thinks that Ah Xi is a simple person, so his thoughts are naturally simple , when others treat him well, he doesn't say it on the surface, but he remembers it in his heart, it's the big talk of the servant, if one day the servant is in danger, Ah Xi will save her life regardless of life and death."

When she said this, she observed Duan Qianmo's expression, and saw that he was looking far away, but he was listening carefully and thinking.

"Axi never talked about his family. The slaves guessed that his life experience must be miserable, and a little love from others is like a spring to him. Therefore, he must remember the kindness of the prince to him, even if the prince treats him well. Beaten to internal injuries, suffered from typhoid fever and left the root of the disease, and was thrown into the dungeon to be..."

Her voice became lower and lower under Duan Qianmo's eyes, and she hurriedly changed the topic.

"Even if the prince treats him like this, he won't hold grudges against the prince in his heart."

Hearing this, Duan Qianmo felt a little better. Of course he knew that Axi would not bear any grudges against him, but he was alienating him. He would rather Axi bear some grudges than ignore him completely.

"Axi once said that a lifetime is a couple..."

Duan Qianmo suddenly turned his head, looked at the cloud and mist, and chewed these words thoughtfully: "A lifetime is a couple..."

Yun Wu nodded, she knew that this was the gap between the two.

It is this invisible gully that can be seen through, but it is just looking back at the old years and laughing at the foolishness of the past.What can't be seen through, forget each other, the rivers and lakes, the sky, the blue sky, the yellow spring, the old and the dead.Compromise, the spring boudoir dream at the top of the cardamom building wakes up as a married couple and a resentful couple.Those who give up may be like Ah Xi, who traveled far away with one person and one horse, and the years of poetry and wine in the past are just a solitary smoke in the desert, dissipating with the wind.

Duan Qianmo walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and when he stopped, he smiled wryly, "Since he said this, you must have spoken so well at that time, and he must have benefited a lot."

Yun Wu said with a smile: "The servant girl just told me bluntly that Axi is a sensible person, and so is the prince, not to mention the identity of the prince and the burden on his shoulders, even if it is an ordinary family, it takes a lot of courage to marry a man, let alone a The eyes of the world on the one who is the wife and concubine."

The light in Duan Qianmo's eyes gradually dimmed, "Even if you cancel the engagement, you can't escape the next time. The feudal town is far away from the centralized power center, and it is inconvenient for the emperor to control it. The feudal king took into account the inconvenience of his in-laws."

This kind of marriage is an imperial decree and a temptation, and it has to be obeyed by the emperor.

But that is also a matter of the future, and we can only take one step at a time. Duan Qianmo already has some calculations in his heart. Since he wants Axi, he will give him sincerity if he can.

Although it was just accepting a side concubine, it was a grand event in the northwest feudal town. On the one hand, the ruler of the feudal town, on the other hand, was a merchant from the northwest, and on the other hand, the identity of a royal bride was exchanged for smooth business routes in the northwest; From now on, Qi Gaozhi will do his best for the growth of Xifan, and the two good things are good together.

The palace has been preparing for the wedding in an orderly manner these days. Concubine Jidian will be delivered in five days. At this moment, carts of food and wine are being delivered in. The accountant and the manager of the purchase are holding booklets to check the goods, and they are very busy. sweat.

The side concubine who has not been married is a lively character, she is just 17 years old, this place is close to the frontier, the folk customs are open, and she doesn't care about the etiquette of the Central Plains, she came without notification.

The girl was dressed in a red riding outfit, holding a gold-encrusted whip in her hand, followed by a row of servants from the palace, and the stewards did not dare to stop her. This is the mistress of the future, so she had to trot along behind.

Ah Xi was assigned to tie the red silk in the front yard, and when she heard a sound coming from a distance, she followed the sound and saw that fiery red figure was like a tornado, whirring through with a maid. After entering the porch, he suddenly stopped on the stone arch bridge. The people in the row behind hurriedly stopped, and the steward panted heavily behind him, and said with a smile: "Miss Fang, the yard is preparing for a wedding. It's very chaotic. Please move." Tea is served in the flower hall, and the small ones can send someone to inform the prince to return to the mansion..."

"What Miss Fang!" The girl raised her eyebrows in displeasure, then smiled again, rolled her eyes and said angrily, "It's time to call me Wangfei!"

The steward was stunned for a moment, wiped off his sweat, and quickly agreed with a flattering smile: "That's it, that's it, sorry for my clumsiness."

"Hey! What are you tying?"

In the distance, Ah Xi heard a shout, and he turned his head from the ladder to look at the woman on the stone bridge, not knowing whether to answer or not.

"What about you, dumb?"

Seeing that it was Ah Xi she was asking, the steward hurriedly replied, "He's a handyman in the mansion, he doesn't know how to speak very much, lord, wangfei, forgive me."

However, Miss Fang understood that the handsome young man was half-deaf and dumb, she frowned in disgust, and said, "How can dumb people be used as slaves in the palace? The servants of our Fang family are all screened by layers. Say, if I ask him to pass on a message, won't he mess up the errand?"

The steward gave her a sneaky look, and said, "Ah Xi is not dumb, she just doesn't like to talk."

Miss Fang didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, but her mother taught her the day before yesterday that a bride should first show her prestige when entering the house. There is no concubine in the palace. She is also afraid of her three points, so she is holding on to this matter now.

"Don't like to talk? Don't you even answer the master's words?" She pointed at A Xi, "Let him come and answer!"

The manager was in a dilemma, and was sweating profusely. Although Ah Xi was a servant, the prince of his family was already a servant for this servant. He washed his hair and kept watch at night. The people in the palace were like mirrors in their hearts. Picking up the easiest job for him, on one side is the future side concubine, and on the other side is the prince's favorite person, so he can't be offended, what should I do...

Fortunately, Ah Xi knew how to look at her face, so she jumped off the ladder, walked over and bowed to salute, but he didn't know what to call, so she didn't speak.

Miss Fang looked at the boy who was neither humble nor overbearing, with a slapped face, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of red phoenix eyes, he was actually more feminine than a woman, just like the rabbit master those old men like to talk about in their dirty mouths.

She was raised spoiled and pampered since she was a child. She was not afraid of anything, and she had never read the Four Books and Five Classics. In her opinion, the three obediences and four virtues of a woman's family are nothing, so she dared to say anything, and the manager who asked a question almost foamed at the mouth.

"Look at your white skin and thin flesh with a devilish face, you can't be a low-grade molester raised in the palace!"

Ah Xi raised her head, her eyes were already stained with anger.

Where does Miss Fang allow a villain to look at her like this, and said angrily: "What are you looking at, you have such a ridiculous leg, you dare to look at this princess with your eyes!"

Ah Xi looked at her for a while, then replied: "You have a mouth dirtier than the gutter, and you dare to call yourself a princess!"

Miss Fang's pretty face was flushed with anger. She was just planning to move her mouth to frighten these servants first, but she didn't expect to be scolded instead. When her head got hot, she swung the whip out.

"Crack!" With a sound, the whip was grabbed by Ah Xi's raised hand, and the blood from the palm was left on the wrist and slipped into the sleeve.

Seeing that it was broken, the steward hurried up to persuade her. Miss Fang pulled it a few times, but the whip didn't budge. She pushed the steward away angrily, and kicked Ah Xi right in the abdomen.

A Xi was kicked back again and again, staggering and falling to the ground.

At this time, Yun Wu also heard the news and rushed over, seeing that Miss Fang's reluctance to add two feet, others may not know Duan Qianmo's plan, but she knew, rushed up and blocked Fang miss home.

"Every flower, every grass, every tree and every tree in this palace belongs to the prince. Even if Miss Fang is married, if she wants to teach the servants a lesson, she must be granted the title of mistress by the prince. Isn't it the trouble now? Stepping on the prince's head, embarrassing the master of the Fang family?"

Miss Fang stared at Yunwu angrily, and was about to say something when a lazy voice came from behind, "I'm not in the mansion for half a day, so I'm flying like a dog?"

There was some irony in these words, Ah Xi's heart shrank when she heard it, but Miss Fang couldn't hear it. When she turned around and saw Duan Qianmo, she was immediately happy and aggrieved, very contradictory, she pursed her mouth and greeted her.

Duan Qianmo seemed to have just realized that she was here. He let out a "huh" and his smile widened. Miss Fang took his arm and patted her on the head affectionately, "What's the matter?"

As he asked, he glanced at Ah Xi, who was covered by the clouds and mist, without stopping, and looked at Miss Fang with a smile.

"Who is he?" Miss Fang asked with pouted lips.

"Which him?" Duan Qianmo raised his eyebrows in confusion, and pointed to Axi who was looking up at him. There seemed to be a faint expectation in those eyes. Duan Qianmo felt warm, turned his eyes away, and said lightly: " It's just a servant in the mansion, let's go, I'll take you to see the menu of the wedding banquet."

"Yeah." Miss Fang gave Ah Xi a heavy look, thinking that there is no rush to punish him at this moment, and she will use him as an example in the future.

The two walked away hand in hand, and the fading backs of the pair faded away the last gleam of hope in Ah Xi's eyes.

He laughed at himself in his heart, he should have expected this result a long time ago, so why did he deceive himself and others to expect him.

How do you want him to introduce his identity to the unmarried princess?

He was right, he was just a servant in the mansion.
