You Meng Yin

He likes to rely on the old to sell the old, but in fact his age is not much older than the prince of Changning.
"Just because of him, pushed Xu Si into the water?"
Even if the subject is omitted directly, Jing Shen naturally understands the meaning of His Highness's words.
"Yes." He said, and added at the end, "But whether it is true or not, I'm afraid it is uncertain."
"That's right." Ye Chengqi nodded approvingly, "If our Vulcan wants to make a move, he will definitely not use such a stupid method."
Depth of Field was ashamed again.
Su Yun's palms were also sweating from nervousness, and the girl's voice behind her made her even more uncontrollable.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has been looking at us."
Even if the voice is deliberately lowered, it is difficult to hide the excitement in the speaker's words.
"Shut up." Su Yun snorted.
The girl carefully kept her voice down, but she clearly knew that the master was not really angry.
This sentence shut up, but anger is greater than anger...
Su Yun is really not angry, because she knows who Duan Wang is looking at.
nonsense.In their group, if they don't look at her, do they still look at her brother?
Thinking of this, she blushed a little.But he also felt that he should not be such a condescending state as the majestic Princess Jiahui.
So she took a deep breath calmly, and raised her glass to Duan Wang Yaoyao in a calm and generous manner.
Duan Wang didn't move.
Just when Su Yun was a little embarrassed and couldn't get up and down with his half-raised arms, Duan Wang stood up directly and walked towards her with a wine glass in his hand.
Su Yun's heart jumped out of his chest, and there was still an elegant and generous smile on his face.
Then, in the midst of her busy schedule, she still didn't forget to take a look at Ye Hongxuan.
Did he think that she had to be him?
Ye Hongxuan's eyes really stayed on Ye Chengqi.
He watched him walk up to Su Mu, joking and clinking glasses with him.
What the hell are you doing?
Ye Hongxuan thought.
What is this ghost?
Su Yun thought.
He was actually looking at his brother...
Ye Chengqi glanced at her quickly at this moment, and then smiled.
Su Yun's heart jumped up again and again.
This girl, why do you always look at him like a ghost?He is much prettier than a ghost.
Ye Chengqi thought.
If at the royal annual banquet, the smile shown by the most beautiful man in Dazhen was the first candy Su Yun ate on New Year's Eve, then after the annual banquet, the most beautiful man visited Changning Palace in person, that would be what she ate second.
And this one is far sweeter than the last one.
His Highness Prince Duan suddenly got close to her father and brother, why?
Thinking of that encounter where the hero saved the beauty, and thinking of a certain possibility arising from it, Su Yun's palms trembled with happiness.
Even if she was watching the new year with the female family members at home, Su Yun was always ready for her father and brother to call her over to meet Prince Duan.
As for the "Prince Duan's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion looking for Su Rong late at night" that caused a lot of noise in the city a few days ago, probably it was just like some rumors said, Prince Duan was entrusted by Prince Rui...
Speaking of this Prince Rui...
How could I be so full of heart and eyes before that I couldn't see anyone else except him?
He likes that lowly servant girl Su Rong, so let him like it.Thinking of her majestic Princess Jiahui, she would not bother to compete for a man with a lowly maidservant of unknown origin.
That lowly servant girl is naturally inferior to Su Yun's one toe, when Ye Hongxuan understands, just regret it!
As Su Yun thought about it, she couldn't help being complacent, and the people around her pushed her back, only to regain her senses.
"Yunyun, let's go."
It was Princess Changning who spoke.
"Ah, where are you going?" Su Yun asked, her heart pounding.
"This silly boy." Princess Changning smiled, "Of course I'm going to your father and brother."
"Ah... oh." Su Yun lowered her head, her face full of shyness.
It turned out to be...really.
But what are such a large number of people going to do?Doesn't this make her more embarrassed?
And if the concubine mother shows up in person now, will it appear that they are too serious and can't wait?
Forget it, don't think about it so much for now, it's safe for the father and brother to do things.
Su Yun lowered her head and followed Princess Changning to the main courtyard.
Then she heard the voice of her brother smiling.
"Yunyun, what are you doing there with your head down?" Su Mu said.
Su Yun cast a reproachful glance at him.
Then she glanced at him again in amazement, quickly surveying everyone in the room.
"What about people?" she said.
"Ok?"
Su Mu was baffled, and Changning Wang was baffled.
Because Su Yun has only one person in his heart since he was a child, the father and son tacitly agreed, and neither of them thought about it.
"Where is His Royal Highness Duan Wang? Where has he gone?" Su Yun calmed down and said.
"Let's go." Su Mu said, "What do you want him for?"
"No, what not to do." Su Yun said, "What is he doing here?"
Su Mu and King Changning looked at each other.
"Don't ask me." Su Mu said, "Because I don't know what he is here for."
Su Yun was a little startled.
Suddenly there was the sound of pattering footsteps outside the house.
The concierge's servants came to deliver the report.
"My lord, my son, His Highness Duan Wang is back again."
Duan Wang went and returned?
Su Yun was overjoyed.
But when he heard that he had come out, he wanted to come and see him?
Su Yun raised his head, looked out of the house gracefully, and followed his father and brother to welcome him out.
His Royal Highness Duan walked a few steps quickly and smiled at them.
"Excuse me." He said, "It's just that the king has been away from Jin Jue for a long time, and I can't remember how to get there."
Su Yun gave a "puchi" smile, her face was full of tenderness and cuteness.
In order to see myself, but came up with such a clumsy reason, this guy is really...
"It's okay, it's okay." King Changning said with a smile, and ordered his servants to take His Royal Highness Duan Wang back to his residence.
"Brother-in-law misunderstood." Ye Chengqi said, "I want to ask, how to get to Zhuzhitang?"
Changning King Su Huaqing is the eldest brother of the current Empress Su Huaxin, so Ye Chengqi called him that.
But when he said these words, the faces of Prince Changning and his son showed strange expressions.
The sweetness on Su Yun's face was completely shattered.
25 All wishes come true
"So father and elder brother called us here to distribute red envelopes?"
After seeing off Prince Duan, the whole family sat in the main hall, Su Yun asked lightly.
"Of course, otherwise what do you think?"
Neither Su Huaqing nor Su Mu spoke, but Princess Changning gave Su Yun a very strange look.
Why did the elder and younger become so strange when Prince Duan arrived?
Su Mu seemed to understand a little bit, but he was vaguely not so clear.
Not only women have a sixth sense, men also have intuition.
He felt that what His Royal Highness said today, although it sounded friendly and polite, was actually a bit like... a demonstration?
"The matter about the Xu family." Su Huaqing said suddenly.
He also looked at Su Yun.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is telling us that in the Zhuzhi Hall, he is protecting the people." He said, "From now on, don't provoke Rong Rong again."
Su Mu was still thinking about it silently, but when he heard the last two words, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Huaqing.
"Father!" Su Yun shouted directly, "What did you call that woman just now?"
Princess Changning also looked at her husband in great surprise.
"me……"
Su Huaqing hesitated for a while, but a few traces of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"I'll call her whatever!" He waved his sleeves and said, "Of course it's her name, so I'll call her whatever!"
Su Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
My God, is this still her father who "has a hundred thousand cars of real books in his belly, and sits and watches the wind and clouds come and go"? !
So, is the sky in Jinjue City really about to be disturbed by that woman?There is no distinction between young and old!
Su Huaqing was even more annoyed when he saw the eyes of his wife and a pair of children, and the look of the servants standing on one side who wanted to look at him but didn't dare to look at him.
"Come, come, get a red envelope!" He said, "Would you like any more!"
---
In the bamboo branch hall, red envelopes are also being distributed.
Different from the gloomy Changning Palace, the atmosphere here is full of joy.
"Hey, I wish Your Highness all wishes come true, everything goes well, and you and me are both right!"
Xu Ji said to Ye Hongxuan very flatteringly, making Zhu Rong and the girls standing next to him amused by his repeated bows and bows.
"Grumpy!"
Ye Hongxuan smiled, and hit him on the head with the fan-shaped red envelopes in his hand.
Xu Ji giggled and went to draw a red envelope.
What is wrapped here is not cash, but red paper with the amount written in advance by His Highness.
It ranges from one to five hundred, and you can exchange as much silver as you draw.
Xu Ji pinched a red envelope, pumped, pumped... he tried twice, but couldn't get it out.
He looked carefully at His Highness Prince Rui's face, but saw that although His Highness was smiling, the sharp look in his eyes flashed past him.
Xu Ji immediately understood.
Dare to be so lucky that I won an exclusive red envelope prepared by His Highness for someone in one draw...
Xu Ji smiled bitterly and let go, moving his fingers aside.
This time, I successfully received a red envelope.
"How much?"
Jing Zhan and the girls all gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Hahaha, one or two!"
Xu Ji wanted to cry but had no tears.
Did he memorize it like this? His Highness only prepared a red envelope of one tael, and the others started at least ten taels, so he happened to get it.
The little girl he smoked behind picked a 100 tael one.
Because Zhu Rong is the owner of Zhuzhitang, Ye Hongxuan asked her to draw last, so when it was her turn, there was only one red envelope left.
And it's the biggest one, because no one has claimed the legendary 500 prizes yet.
"It should be yours, so it must be yours." Ye Hongxuan said with a smile, "They are not as lucky as you, so they won't be able to choose if they choose first."
Two girls lowered their heads silently, so they couldn't take away a red envelope from His Highness just now, what happened...
Ye Hongxuan felt a little guilty when he said this.
He was afraid that Zhu Rong would see his little trick and say something like "just give it to me".
Zhu Rong really laughed, and laughed out loud, very happy.
"Get rich!" she yelled with a smile.
"Be careful!"
Ye Hongxuan held her down dumbfounded, not letting her jump because she was too happy, and then laughed loudly himself.
When the two laughed, everyone in the room laughed too.
Except for Xu Ji, everyone is really happy.
Even Shu Yang raised the corners of his lips silently. Although he only smoked a tael, he could see that she was really happy.
"What are you laughing at, so funny?"
A male voice sounded from the gate, interrupting everyone's cheerful laughter.
When Ye Hongxuan saw the person coming, his eyes lit up uncharacteristically.
"Uncle Seventeen!" He smiled at Ye Chengqi, "Are you here to give us red envelopes?"
The people in the hall burst into laughter again.
Asking for red envelopes from the elders is the benefit of the younger generation.
No matter Prince Duan or Prince Rui, they naturally didn't care about this small amount of money, they did so only for the sake of everyone's happiness.
Ye Chengqi glanced at the excited crowd and said with a smile, "That's right."
This smile almost made people dazzled.
"How much is the emperor going to give me?" Ye Hongxuan smiled, "I might be able to take back all the ones I just sent."
"Pai?" Ye Chengqi smiled, "It's too boring."
Everyone was silent.
These uncles and nephews are exactly the same...
After some preparations, the others drew first, Zhu Rong was last, and Ye Hongxuan was second last.
Xu Ji was gearing up.
As His Highness's Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle, His Royal Highness Duanwang naturally couldn't sell less than his nephew, so although the red envelopes he sent were only one tael at the beginning, the maximum amount was a full 1000 taels.
1000 taels...
In front of 1000 taels, what is the one tael I just drew?
So Xu Ji was full of ambition, high-spirited, and rubbed his hands to prepare for his grand plans.
Then he was very honored to draw another red envelope that was tightly held by the master.
But the expressions of the two uncles and nephews at this moment are exactly the same.
What are you doing?
I'm so lucky that I got Miss Su's first prize twice? !
Xu Ji was embarrassed, and moved his finger to the side, this time he moved a few more steps.
"How much?"
Just like when everyone finished smoking, a room full of people came to watch.
Then everyone exploded.
"1000 taels!" Jing Zhan yelled, "Xu Ji, what kind of shit luck have you had!"
Xu Ji was stunned, and still couldn't believe his eyes.
So, what is it that His Highness Prince Duan held tightly to prevent him from pulling? !
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Chengqi, and there was a light in his eyes, lingering a little playfully.
When it was his turn, he pretended to hesitate for a while.
"The first prize has been drawn by Xu Ji, so which of the two is left, which one should I choose?" he said.
Ye Chengqi looked at him with a deep smile.
"It belongs to whomever it belongs to." Ye Chengqi said.
Ye Hongxuan glanced at him.
These words are really familiar.
His fingertips reached for one of the red envelopes, and with a twitch, it moved.
Ye Hongxuan's heart moved, he let go and changed another one, and said with a smile, "I still choose this one."
"Okay." Ye Chengqi smiled warmly, quite like an uncle.
Ye Hongxuan's eyes twitched.
What are you doing?
So, it really doesn't matter which one he chooses?
He didn't hide anything in his red envelope?
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Chengqi for a while, suddenly realized, and without thinking about it, took away the one he had chosen at the beginning.
Then he looked at the corner of Ye Chengqi's mouth, the undisguised smile that really stretched out just now, he knew that he had chosen the wrong one before opening the red envelope.
This old fox...
Sure enough, fifty was neatly written inside the red envelope.
hehehe...
It's Zhu Rong's turn.
Of course she had no choice.
After unfolding the red envelope, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Ye Chengqi in a daze.
26 Avoid like snakes and scorpions
Zhu Rong stared at the living Ye Chengqi, then at the "Ye Chengqi" on the meeting paper, and then at the living Ye Chengqi for a while.
That's right, the words "Ye Chengqi" were written in the red envelope she drew.
No, she didn't smoke it at all, but he left it on purpose.
"Alas--"
"Oh--"
The girls joked for a while, then suddenly stopped talking.
Wrong, wrong, they are from Prince Rui's residence.
His Highness Prince Rui's face was already a little dark.
"Uncle Seventeen." Ye Hongxuan said, "What does this mean?"
Ye Chengqi laughed.
"Whatever you want." He said, "Uncle, I originally wanted to give myself to you, but unfortunately, we are not destined enough, nephew."
So, your fate with Zhu Rong is enough, right?
This old man is not ashamed!
Ye Hongxuan's face was black.
Zhu Rong looked at Ye Chengqi.
Anything and everything?
Why doesn't it sound... not very bad?
Ye Chengqi winked at her.
Then a group of people made noise until late at night, drank bamboo leaf green wine brewed by Zhu Rong himself, and set off a red firecracker in the middle of the night, before Ye Hongxuan and Ye Chengqi returned home.
Amidst the intermittent sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys, the Zhuzhi Hall gradually became quiet.
Zhu Rong wasn't very sleepy yet, the sound of firecrackers that didn't stop completely made her unable to sleep.
So she sat down on the stone steps outside the bedroom.
The first night of the new year was unexpectedly warm.
The breeze blows from the courtyard wall, and a figure lands beside her.
Zhu Rong was about to scream, but the man covered her mouth lightly.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Ye Chengqi said.
His voice was deep, and for some reason, it made people blush.
Zhu Rong felt that Shu Yang had already moved, but he only paused for a moment, and then walked away.
How much did this guy get from Ye Chengqi today?
Just sold her like this!
"Why are you back?" Zhu Rong said.
Ye Chengqi looked at her and smiled.
"I wanted to be alone with you for a while, so I came back again." He said.
Zhu Rong snorted lightly and didn't speak.
This is unorthodox...
Sure enough, there are even more unscrupulous ones.
"I give myself to you, are you happy?" he said.
Zhu Rong was stunned for a while, but was not in a hurry to deny it.
happy……
Should be happy, right?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Chengqi smiled jokingly and looked at her face.
At this glance, my heart felt like a sudden blow, and a piece of flesh and blood was torn away.
There was a thin mist in her eyes.
"You, don't cry."
Ye Chengqi was a little flustered, he had never felt such emotions before facing thousands of troops on the battlefield.
"You don't like me giving myself to you, I just take it back, don't cry, ah..." He said a little at a loss.
Zhu Rong looked up at the sky, trying to blink away the mist of tears.
"No."
A smile curled up on her lips.
"I'm happy. I cry because I'm happy." She said, "I'm much happier than I thought... I thought that this year's Chinese New Year would only be me and Shu Yang."
Hearing these words, Ye Chengqi felt a pain in his heart again, as if the wind had leaked from his chest, he was bursting with sour and bitter emotions.
"You mean... your parents are gone?" he asked.
Not only asked cautiously, but also a little timidly afraid of hearing the answer.
But Zhu Rong finally nodded.
If she looked at Ye Chengqi at this moment, she could see the sad look on his face when he first heard it, even more sad than her.
But the two were just silent, and sat side by side for an unknown amount of time, until the sound of firecrackers near and far no longer came from their ears.
"I'll take care of you."
On the first day of the new year, he said to her.
---
For some people, such as Ye Hongxuan and Ye Chengqi, the first month, as the beginning of the new year, is very busy and busy.
But for Zhu Rong, this year has been very leisurely.
In the first month, she had nowhere else to go except to go to Xu's mansion to pay respects to Mr. Xu for a new year, and then take a look at Mr. Xu.
But this time, besides Mr. Xu, she also saw Mrs. Xu.
At least for now, she can still be said to be her future mother-in-law before the engagement is officially dissolved.
She is a woman with delicate facial features and very benevolent eyebrows, but there is a haggard look between her brows that cannot be concealed.
The third son Xu is the only seedling under her knees, and now she is in such a catastrophe, as a mother, Mrs. Xu naturally feels extremely uncomfortable.
When Zhu Rong visited Third Young Master Xu, he found that he had also changed into new clothes.
In fact, every time she came to visit Third Young Master Xu, he was always clean, and the Xu family took good care of him.In his room, there is no slight musty smell that is typical of the rooms of ordinary chronically ill people.
He doesn't even look like a sick person.
Just... fell asleep.
Then for some reason, I couldn't wake up.
But even so, she couldn't wake him up.
Zhu Rong didn't use dream skills to probe again, because she knew that all efforts in dream skills would be futile until she was able to reach the highest point.
There is no hope for dream skills, maybe medical skills...
So in the following days, she had nowhere to go, so she nestled in her small bamboo forest, studying medicine hard.
But in the afternoon of this day, she suddenly heard a slight noise.
Very light, like a person deliberately slowing down the footsteps.
This is definitely not the footsteps of girls, nor Ye Chengqi or Ye Hongxuan.
Several thoughts flashed through Zhu Rong's mind, but when she thought that Shu Yang, Xu Ji, and Jing Zhan were not far away, she became more courageous.
This bamboo grove grows in the back garden, but the gate of the back garden is not closed, maybe someone entered by mistake.
She also leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, and walked in the direction of the sound.
Then, both sides froze.
"You...it's you." Su Mu said, there was more bewilderment in his voice than surprise.
Although he didn't know where this helplessness came from, Zhu Rong found that he seemed to be very happy to see that the calm and self-restraint on his face was broken.
She nodded, just waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Excuse me... where is this place?"
Su Mu looked at the bamboo forest and running water around him, and asked hesitantly.
"It's Zhuzhitang." Zhu Rong said, "I opened Zhuzhitang."
Of course he knew that Zhuzhitang was opened by her.
It's just that the scene here, how can it be so similar to the one in that painting?
Or, just a coincidence?
After all, all running water and bamboo forests look similar.
And it is not surprising that there are bamboos in the bamboo branch hall.
"It turned out to be the Bamboo Branch Hall."
Su Mu nodded and cupped his fists.
"I passed by and saw the quiet scenery, so I couldn't bear to invite myself in for a while, so please don't blame the owner." He said.
"It's okay." Zhu Rong said.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Mu walked back and forth.
Before leaving, he only said two words hastily.
"Farewell."
Zhu Rong wanted to call him to stop, but he held back when the words came to his lips.
Because she didn't know what she could say after calling him.
Zhu Rong smiled wryly.
So, is it true that unless she puts on the veil, he must avoid her like a snake?
27 Qujiang Spring Banquet
In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Ye Chengqi was not around that day, so Ye Hongxuan said to Zhu Rong: "You have been covered from winter to spring, may I invite you out to play?"
Zhu Rongwenyan put down the medical case, blinked and said with a smile: "Okay, when?"
---
"the day after tomorrow!"
Xu Mingzhu patted the table and stood up in surprise.
"Yunyun, have you received the post?" She said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui actually wants to personally host this year's Shangsi Qujiang Banquet!"
Su Yun glanced at her lightly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
No matter how you say it, Ye Hongxuan is his own cousin, so the relationship is naturally infinitely closer than that of other idlers.
"Everyone knows what it means to visit flowers at the Qujiang Banquet..." Xu Mingzhu said, "So, he didn't mean to invite that bitch?"
"Just go." Su Yun said nonchalantly, "It's none of my business."
"Yunyun, you're right." Xu Mingzhu smiled, "It's better for His Royal Highness Duanwang, he saved you last time at the gate of Zhuzhitang."
At the entrance of Zhuzhitang?
Su Yun frowned, feeling a sense of humiliation in her heart.
It turned out that that person, from the first day back to Jin Jue, went straight to that lowly servant girl in vain!
She and her companions mistakenly thought that he was interested in her.
It’s ridiculous!
Xu Mingzhu didn't notice the change in her heart yet, so she just said there: "It's uncertain who will sit in this world in the future. Isn't there a rumor that the emperor intends to appoint His Highness King Duan as his younger brother? So you want to marry Duan Yunyun?" His Royal Highness’s words, maybe in the future, he will be able to empathize with the world..."
"Enough, shut up!" Su Yun suddenly shouted coldly.
Xu Mingzhu was frightened into silence by her.
It's rare for her to lose her temper so clearly.
After all, she is a good sister in the eyes of her brother.
Su Yun took two deep breaths, and the expression on his face relaxed again.
"You just got one sentence right."
She said with a sinister sneer on her face.
"Prince Duan saved me. A frightened horse is very scary, very scary..."
---
On the third day of March, spring blossoms bloom beside the banks of the Qujiang River, and green willows line up.
More beautiful and eye-catching than the fragrant flowers in the grass are the various spring shirts worn by noble girls.
Accompanied by two girls, Zhu Rong stood among the group of young girls.She only knew that Ye Hongxuan confessed that she stood here and then left, and she didn't know what would happen next.
However, I heard him mention it before, this is the first time he hosted the Qujiang Spring Banquet, and in previous years, it was the royal brothers who worked hard.
"So you're so lazy."
Zhu Rong also made fun of him at the time.
Ye Hongxuan was obviously embarrassed by what she said.
"No." He said, "It's just that as the host, you must do one thing before it can be regarded as a formal banquet..."
I wish you great interest.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
Ye Hongxuan actually sells the key.
"If you go to see it, you will know." He said.
"I'm coming!"
The girls all cheered excitedly.
Zhu Rong first heard the sound of hoofbeats, then raised his eyes and saw a group of young men riding horses in the shade of green poplars.
Those who can be invited by the prince to come to the Qujiang Spring Banquet are none other than the noble children of Jinjue City.
Among them, two figures are the most eye-catching.
"Hey, isn't His Highness Prince Duan married Zhengfei yet? Why didn't His Highness Prince Rui invite him?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I can't see His Royal Highness Duan Wang..."
"Be content! It's not bad to be able to see His Highness Prince Rui and His Highness Prince Changning..."
The girls whispered to each other.
Zhu Rong looked at them, and those girls also looked at her, they were also stunned, and stopped talking.
Zhu Rong turned around unconsciously, but met Xu Mingzhu's eyes, Su Yun didn't look sideways, and stood beside her.
Zhu Rong was taken aback, thinking that Xu Mingzhu was going to ridicule or find a way out of herself.
Unexpectedly, she turned around as if nothing had happened, and only looked at it from the side, and she could see the unparalleled smile on her face.
Do you want to be so happy?
Congrats inexplicably.
Within a short while, the teenagers had already rode their horses up to them and dismounted one after another.
It was only then that Zhu Rong saw clearly that each young man held a freshly picked fresh flower in his hand.
And soon, many girls received flowers from the boy, some received one, some two, and some three or four...
Those who received one branch blushed, those who received two branches blushed even more, and those who received three or four branches... turned a little blue.
A girl's admirer should still be expensive and not expensive. If there are too many, people will say that the girl is not reserved and gossips.
Zhu Rong suddenly realized what it meant to present flowers at the Qujiang Banquet.
And she still seems to remember that her mother said that she and her father met at the Qujiang Spring Banquet...
Zhu Rong was startled and looked at Ye Hongxuan.
Her hands are empty, but the flowers in his hands have not yet been given away.
he won't be...
Zhu Rong's heart beat a little faster.
Then she saw that Su Mu still had flowers in his hand.
In fact, it wasn't just Zhu Rong, many girls were staring at Su Mu and Ye Hongxuan.
Su Mu moved first than Ye Hongxuan.
He went to the middle of the group of girls and gave the flowers to his sister.
"Hey……"
"cut……"
The girls and boys present all burst into sighs.
"When it's raining, you're playing tricks."
Somebody shoved him.
Su Mu smiled and hugged, without defending.
"It's nice to have such a brother."
Another girl envied Su Yun.
Su Yun had a sweet and reserved smile on her face, but when she lowered her head, there was unconcealed pride in her eyes.
is good.
Zhu Rong thought about it.
In fact, she was quite envious of Su Yun.
Right now, only Ye Hongxuan still holds flowers in his hands.
According to the rules, only after the flower in his hand was given away, Shangsi Qujiang would officially open the banquet.
Although the girls had heard some rumors before, many of them still had fantasies and expectations in their hearts.
But Ye Hongxuan directly shattered their illusions.
When the pure and flawless white magnolia flower was handed to Zhu Rong, Su Yun snapped and cut off the stem in his hand.
"I know you love bamboo, but today, maybe it's a shame to accept my white magnolia flower?" Ye Hongxuan looked at Zhu Rong and said.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she can refute his face, can she say no?
Zhu Rong took it without hesitation, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Hongxuan smiled as if breathing a sigh of relief.
The crowd was silent for a while, and then the laughter and hilarity broke out as if nothing had happened.
When Zhu Rong turned around, he met Su Mu's gaze.
But it was just a glance, and he looked away.
His expression was indifferent, like...
Forget it, she has no intention of delving into his expression when facing her.
This is the norm, right?
Although it is called Qujiang Spring Banquet, it is not mainly about eating.
After everyone sat at the banquet for a while, a brave girl suggested that the second repertoire of the day - horse riding.
it has started!
The flower stem in Su Yun's sleeve broke off another section.
28 Why Are You So Stupid
The folk customs of the Dazhen Empire were open. Not only did men and women marry late, but women also valued both ability and morality, and they were more respected for being superior in dream skills.
In short, among the noble women, there are many who can ride a horse.
"Let's go horseback riding too." Ye Hongxuan said to Zhu Rong.
When he called her out, he came here to play, not to sit here for others to see.
Zhu Rong was a little embarrassed, and this embarrassment was amplified when it met the surprise on Ye Hongxuan's face.
"I can't ride a horse," she said.
"There are things you don't know." Ye Hongxuan said with a smile, "Then let me teach you, okay?"
Zhu Rongbian was also a little eager to try, and readily agreed.
The attendants of Prince Rui's residence on the side led the horses, Ye Hongxuan helped Zhu Rong onto the horses, and then willingly acted as a groom, leading the two horses away.
The pasture by the bank was full of flying figures, and Zhu Rong and Ye Hongxuan quickly got mixed up among them.
Su Mu's eyes followed them all the time.
When Zhu Rong was giggling on the horse, and Ye Hongxuan laughed loudly with her, he looked at Su Yun very worriedly.
But what surprised him was that his younger sister Su Yun might not have noticed his gaze, but she was also staring straight at the two figures.
But the expression in her eyes didn't seem to be mournful, but more like...excited and looking forward to it!
Su Yun was really looking forward to it, not only was she looking forward to it, she was also sneering at herself in her heart.
Ye Hongxuan, I really understand you!

There are many horses raised in Prince Rui's residence, but Ye Hongxuan's favorite is only two horses.
A bay red horse with strong explosive power was mostly ridden by him in the past; the other gray horse has a docile personality and excellent endurance, which is perfect for women, especially beginners.
Zhu Rong is now riding this extremely docile gray horse.
But the docile gray horse suddenly went crazy, spread its hooves and galloped towards the mountains beside the bank.
After many people came to their senses, men and women all chased after her.
Su Mu's right hand trembled, and the teacup fell on his body, splashing dripping water all over his lap. He didn't care about it at all, so he got on his horse and chased after him.
Su Yun looked at his back angrily.
Why is even brother so nervous, that lowly maid?
She didn't see her, and when Su Mu left, he gave her a look in disbelief.
Zhu Rong hugged the horse's neck desperately, the strong wind blew the rough horse's mane, which made her cheeks hurt, but she didn't dare to move.Even though she lowered her body as much as possible, the branches and leaves that were blown up by the wild running all the way left bloodstains on her hands, feet and limbs.
"Xiao Rong!"
The anxious shouts of the people behind came along with the wind.
Zhu Rong turned her head tremblingly, but didn't dare to let go of her hand.
Ye Hongxuan's pupils suddenly dilated.
"Don't—" he yelled.
Amid the screams of the others and Zhu Rong's own screams, the gray horse plummeted towards the cliff.And Ye Hongxuan didn't even think about it, so he abandoned his steed and flew towards Zhu Rong.
As soon as the two of them joined forces, they fell into the mountain stream so neatly.
The others were lucky enough to rein in their horses, but they were all dumbfounded at the bottomless mountain stream.
Su Mu's face was also dead.
Then I don't know who started crying first.
"It's over, it's over! Call someone to find it!"
If we can't find His Highness Prince Rui, we'll all die together!
They found His Highness Prince Rui, if they were not alive, they would die together too!
---
When old man Zhang walked into the gate, he realized that the Zhuzhi Hall was extremely quiet today.
He sized it up carefully for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Doctor Su... isn't here today?"
The man with a handsome face like a god stood up from the corner, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were shining brightly.
"She's not here." He said, "Old man, are you here to see a doctor?"
"Yes, yes." Old man Zhang said, "Since she's not here, I'll come back another day."
Ye Chengqi nodded.
"Is it an incurable disease in Wanmutang?" He said.
"Of course." Old man Zhang said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't bother Dr. Su."
"That's it." Ye Chengqi said with a smile, "She's not here, so I'm still here. Just tell me about your illness, and I'll record it as a medical record and hand it over to her without any delay."
"Hey, that's fine, that's fine."
Old man Zhang sat down in front of the hall as he spoke.
Jing Zhan looked at his highness, and somehow the word "virtuous" flashed in his mind.
After old man Zhang left, Ye Chengqi returned to his original position and sat down to review the documents sent by the Northwest Army.
Jing Zhan finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the gap and said, "Your Highness, you are really kind to Miss Su. I am so touched that I am so moved."
Ye Chengqi glanced at him sideways.
"Are you touched?" He said with a half-smile, "Do you hate yourself for not being born as a woman so that you can marry me, the prince?"
Jing Zhan laughed.
"Even if the young one is a girl, she doesn't have the blessing to marry Your Highness." He said.
Ye Chengqi snorted.
"It's your acquaintance."
As he spoke, he dipped a stroke of thick ink and lowered his head again.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Someone yelled and ran into Zhuzhitang.
Jing Zhan recognized that the man was also a guard in Prince Duan's mansion.
His Highness is still sitting here, so no matter what happens in the mansion, even if it is on fire, it is definitely not a big deal.
"What are you yelling about?" He scolded the man repeatedly, "Is your father dead or your mother dead?"
"It's worse than the death of my parents!" The man said with a mournful face, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Miss Su fell to the bottom of the cliff together!"
With a "click", the pen holder in Ye Chengqi's hand fell straight onto the silk, leaving behind a mass of thick black ink stains.
And almost in an instant, a gust of wind blew out of the inner hall and rushed towards the outside of the gate.
---
When Ye Hongxuan woke up, he saw Zhu Rong sitting beside him, trembling uncontrollably.The face that was originally as crystal clear as snow was now covered with stains and even bloodstains, looking quite embarrassed.
Ye Hongxuan's heart ached heavily, and he struggled to sit up, only to realize that his whole body was in pain as if falling apart.
And the many wounds on his body had already been treated roughly by Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong noticed that he was awake, and looked over in a daze, her eyes were dull, obviously she was too frightened to wake up.
He thought she was going to talk about pain or fear, or to care about his injury, but the first thing she said was——
"Why are you so stupid?"
Then, the tears meandered down like a small stream, washing Zhang's little face black and white.
Ye Hongxuan smiled.
He was granted the title of Prince Rui at the age of five, and no one really said he was stupid when he grew up so big.
As for at that time, he couldn't remember how he jumped off after her without even thinking about it.
"I promised Shu Yang. If he doesn't take you back properly, he will never let you play with me again in the future."
In the end, he could only think of one reason.
Zhu Rong made a "puchi", and cried again after laughing.
Fortunately, they were so lucky that they were cushioned by the tree when they fell, and the gray horse was under their heads, so they didn't fall directly to death.
As for the gray horse, it was snorting at this moment, but it was only exhaling, not inhaling.
When Ye Hongxuan first saw a pool of blood on the ground, he couldn't help but be terrified. After careful inspection, it turned out to be the blood of the gray horse, but his heart felt sympathetic.
"It's Su Yun." Zhu Rong said firmly, "She was the one who drugged this horse in advance."
29 Can't Stand Up
Ye Hongxuan's knuckles were clenched tightly, his eyes revealed awe-inspiring look.
"Damn her," he said.
Zhu Rong was taken aback.
"You just believe
"Just because of him, pushed Xu Si into the water?"
Even if the subject is omitted directly, Jing Shen naturally understands the meaning of His Highness's words.
"Yes." He said, and added at the end, "But whether it is true or not, I'm afraid it is uncertain."
"That's right." Ye Chengqi nodded approvingly, "If our Vulcan wants to make a move, he will definitely not use such a stupid method."
Depth of Field was ashamed again.
Su Yun's palms were also sweating from nervousness, and the girl's voice behind her made her even more uncontrollable.
"Princess, His Royal Highness Duan Wang has been looking at us."
Even if the voice is deliberately lowered, it is difficult to hide the excitement in the speaker's words.
"Shut up." Su Yun snorted.
The girl carefully kept her voice down, but she clearly knew that the master was not really angry.
This sentence shut up, but anger is greater than anger...
Su Yun is really not angry, because she knows who Duan Wang is looking at.
nonsense.In their group, if they don't look at her, do they still look at her brother?
Thinking of this, she blushed a little.But he also felt that he should not be such a condescending state as the majestic Princess Jiahui.
So she took a deep breath calmly, and raised her glass to Duan Wang Yaoyao in a calm and generous manner.
Duan Wang didn't move.
Just when Su Yun was a little embarrassed and couldn't get up and down with his half-raised arms, Duan Wang stood up directly and walked towards her with a wine glass in his hand.
Su Yun's heart jumped out of his chest, and there was still an elegant and generous smile on his face.
Then, in the midst of her busy schedule, she still didn't forget to take a look at Ye Hongxuan.
Did he think that she had to be him?
Ye Hongxuan's eyes really stayed on Ye Chengqi.
He watched him walk up to Su Mu, joking and clinking glasses with him.
What the hell are you doing?
Ye Hongxuan thought.
What is this ghost?
Su Yun thought.
He was actually looking at his brother...
Ye Chengqi glanced at her quickly at this moment, and then smiled.
Su Yun's heart jumped up again and again.
This girl, why do you always look at him like a ghost?He is much prettier than a ghost.
Ye Chengqi thought.
If at the royal annual banquet, the smile shown by the most beautiful man in Dazhen was the first candy Su Yun ate on New Year's Eve, then after the annual banquet, the most beautiful man visited Changning Palace in person, that would be what she ate second.
And this one is far sweeter than the last one.
His Highness Prince Duan suddenly got close to her father and brother, why?
Thinking of that encounter where the hero saved the beauty, and thinking of a certain possibility arising from it, Su Yun's palms trembled with happiness.
Even if she was watching the new year with the female family members at home, Su Yun was always ready for her father and brother to call her over to meet Prince Duan.
As for the "Prince Duan's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion looking for Su Rong late at night" that caused a lot of noise in the city a few days ago, probably it was just like some rumors said, Prince Duan was entrusted by Prince Rui...
Speaking of this Prince Rui...
How could I be so full of heart and eyes before that I couldn't see anyone else except him?
He likes that lowly servant girl Su Rong, so let him like it.Thinking of her majestic Princess Jiahui, she would not bother to compete for a man with a lowly maidservant of unknown origin.
That lowly servant girl is naturally inferior to Su Yun's one toe, when Ye Hongxuan understands, just regret it!
As Su Yun thought about it, she couldn't help being complacent, and the people around her pushed her back, only to regain her senses.
"Yunyun, let's go."
It was Princess Changning who spoke.
"Ah, where are you going?" Su Yun asked, her heart pounding.
"This silly boy." Princess Changning smiled, "Of course I'm going to your father and brother."
"Ah... oh." Su Yun lowered her head, her face full of shyness.
It turned out to be...really.
But what are such a large number of people going to do?Doesn't this make her more embarrassed?
And if the concubine mother shows up in person now, will it appear that they are too serious and can't wait?
Forget it, don't think about it so much for now, it's safe for the father and brother to do things.
Su Yun lowered her head and followed Princess Changning to the main courtyard.
Then she heard the voice of her brother smiling.
"Yunyun, what are you doing there with your head down?" Su Mu said.
Su Yun cast a reproachful glance at him.
Then she glanced at him again in amazement, quickly surveying everyone in the room.
"What about people?" she said.
"Ok?"
Su Mu was baffled, and Changning Wang was baffled.
Because Su Yun has only one person in his heart since he was a child, the father and son tacitly agreed, and neither of them thought about it.
"Where is His Royal Highness Duan Wang? Where has he gone?" Su Yun calmed down and said.
"Let's go." Su Mu said, "What do you want him for?"
"No, what not to do." Su Yun said, "What is he doing here?"
Su Mu and King Changning looked at each other.
"Don't ask me." Su Mu said, "Because I don't know what he is here for."
Su Yun was a little startled.
Suddenly there was the sound of pattering footsteps outside the house.
The concierge's servants came to deliver the report.
"My lord, my son, His Highness Duan Wang is back again."
Duan Wang went and returned?
Su Yun was overjoyed.
But when he heard that he had come out, he wanted to come and see him?
Su Yun raised his head, looked out of the house gracefully, and followed his father and brother to welcome him out.
His Royal Highness Duan walked a few steps quickly and smiled at them.
"Excuse me." He said, "It's just that the king has been away from Jin Jue for a long time, and I can't remember how to get there."
Su Yun gave a "puchi" smile, her face was full of tenderness and cuteness.
In order to see myself, but came up with such a clumsy reason, this guy is really...
"It's okay, it's okay." King Changning said with a smile, and ordered his servants to take His Royal Highness Duan Wang back to his residence.
"Brother-in-law misunderstood." Ye Chengqi said, "I want to ask, how to get to Zhuzhitang?"
Changning King Su Huaqing is the eldest brother of the current Empress Su Huaxin, so Ye Chengqi called him that.
But when he said these words, the faces of Prince Changning and his son showed strange expressions.
The sweetness on Su Yun's face was completely shattered.
25 All wishes come true
"So father and elder brother called us here to distribute red envelopes?"
After seeing off Prince Duan, the whole family sat in the main hall, Su Yun asked lightly.
"Of course, otherwise what do you think?"
Neither Su Huaqing nor Su Mu spoke, but Princess Changning gave Su Yun a very strange look.
Why did the elder and younger become so strange when Prince Duan arrived?
Su Mu seemed to understand a little bit, but he was vaguely not so clear.
Not only women have a sixth sense, men also have intuition.
He felt that what His Royal Highness said today, although it sounded friendly and polite, was actually a bit like... a demonstration?
"The matter about the Xu family." Su Huaqing said suddenly.
He also looked at Su Yun.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang is telling us that in the Zhuzhi Hall, he is protecting the people." He said, "From now on, don't provoke Rong Rong again."
Su Mu was still thinking about it silently, but when he heard the last two words, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Huaqing.
"Father!" Su Yun shouted directly, "What did you call that woman just now?"
Princess Changning also looked at her husband in great surprise.
"me……"
Su Huaqing hesitated for a while, but a few traces of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"I'll call her whatever!" He waved his sleeves and said, "Of course it's her name, so I'll call her whatever!"
Su Yun's eyes widened in disbelief.
My God, is this still her father who "has a hundred thousand cars of real books in his belly, and sits and watches the wind and clouds come and go"? !
So, is the sky in Jinjue City really about to be disturbed by that woman?There is no distinction between young and old!
Su Huaqing was even more annoyed when he saw the eyes of his wife and a pair of children, and the look of the servants standing on one side who wanted to look at him but didn't dare to look at him.
"Come, come, get a red envelope!" He said, "Would you like any more!"
---
In the bamboo branch hall, red envelopes are also being distributed.
Different from the gloomy Changning Palace, the atmosphere here is full of joy.
"Hey, I wish Your Highness all wishes come true, everything goes well, and you and me are both right!"
Xu Ji said to Ye Hongxuan very flatteringly, making Zhu Rong and the girls standing next to him amused by his repeated bows and bows.
"Grumpy!"
Ye Hongxuan smiled, and hit him on the head with the fan-shaped red envelopes in his hand.
Xu Ji giggled and went to draw a red envelope.
What is wrapped here is not cash, but red paper with the amount written in advance by His Highness.
It ranges from one to five hundred, and you can exchange as much silver as you draw.
Xu Ji pinched a red envelope, pumped, pumped... he tried twice, but couldn't get it out.
He looked carefully at His Highness Prince Rui's face, but saw that although His Highness was smiling, the sharp look in his eyes flashed past him.
Xu Ji immediately understood.
Dare to be so lucky that I won an exclusive red envelope prepared by His Highness for someone in one draw...
Xu Ji smiled bitterly and let go, moving his fingers aside.
This time, I successfully received a red envelope.
"How much?"
Jing Zhan and the girls all gathered around to watch the excitement.
"Hahaha, one or two!"
Xu Ji wanted to cry but had no tears.
Did he memorize it like this? His Highness only prepared a red envelope of one tael, and the others started at least ten taels, so he happened to get it.
The little girl he smoked behind picked a 100 tael one.
Because Zhu Rong is the owner of Zhuzhitang, Ye Hongxuan asked her to draw last, so when it was her turn, there was only one red envelope left.
And it's the biggest one, because no one has claimed the legendary 500 prizes yet.
"It should be yours, so it must be yours." Ye Hongxuan said with a smile, "They are not as lucky as you, so they won't be able to choose if they choose first."
Two girls lowered their heads silently, so they couldn't take away a red envelope from His Highness just now, what happened...
Ye Hongxuan felt a little guilty when he said this.
He was afraid that Zhu Rong would see his little trick and say something like "just give it to me".
Zhu Rong really laughed, and laughed out loud, very happy.
"Get rich!" she yelled with a smile.
"Be careful!"
Ye Hongxuan held her down dumbfounded, not letting her jump because she was too happy, and then laughed loudly himself.
When the two laughed, everyone in the room laughed too.
Except for Xu Ji, everyone is really happy.
Even Shu Yang raised the corners of his lips silently. Although he only smoked a tael, he could see that she was really happy.
"What are you laughing at, so funny?"
A male voice sounded from the gate, interrupting everyone's cheerful laughter.
When Ye Hongxuan saw the person coming, his eyes lit up uncharacteristically.
"Uncle Seventeen!" He smiled at Ye Chengqi, "Are you here to give us red envelopes?"
The people in the hall burst into laughter again.
Asking for red envelopes from the elders is the benefit of the younger generation.
No matter Prince Duan or Prince Rui, they naturally didn't care about this small amount of money, they did so only for the sake of everyone's happiness.
Ye Chengqi glanced at the excited crowd and said with a smile, "That's right."
This smile almost made people dazzled.
"How much is the emperor going to give me?" Ye Hongxuan smiled, "I might be able to take back all the ones I just sent."
"Pai?" Ye Chengqi smiled, "It's too boring."
Everyone was silent.
These uncles and nephews are exactly the same...
After some preparations, the others drew first, Zhu Rong was last, and Ye Hongxuan was second last.
Xu Ji was gearing up.
As His Highness's Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle, His Royal Highness Duanwang naturally couldn't sell less than his nephew, so although the red envelopes he sent were only one tael at the beginning, the maximum amount was a full 1000 taels.
1000 taels...
In front of 1000 taels, what is the one tael I just drew?
So Xu Ji was full of ambition, high-spirited, and rubbed his hands to prepare for his grand plans.
Then he was very honored to draw another red envelope that was tightly held by the master.
But the expressions of the two uncles and nephews at this moment are exactly the same.
What are you doing?
I'm so lucky that I got Miss Su's first prize twice? !
Xu Ji was embarrassed, and moved his finger to the side, this time he moved a few more steps.
"How much?"
Just like when everyone finished smoking, a room full of people came to watch.
Then everyone exploded.
"1000 taels!" Jing Zhan yelled, "Xu Ji, what kind of shit luck have you had!"
Xu Ji was stunned, and still couldn't believe his eyes.
So, what is it that His Highness Prince Duan held tightly to prevent him from pulling? !
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Chengqi, and there was a light in his eyes, lingering a little playfully.
When it was his turn, he pretended to hesitate for a while.
"The first prize has been drawn by Xu Ji, so which of the two is left, which one should I choose?" he said.
Ye Chengqi looked at him with a deep smile.
"It belongs to whomever it belongs to." Ye Chengqi said.
Ye Hongxuan glanced at him.
These words are really familiar.
His fingertips reached for one of the red envelopes, and with a twitch, it moved.
Ye Hongxuan's heart moved, he let go and changed another one, and said with a smile, "I still choose this one."
"Okay." Ye Chengqi smiled warmly, quite like an uncle.
Ye Hongxuan's eyes twitched.
What are you doing?
So, it really doesn't matter which one he chooses?
He didn't hide anything in his red envelope?
Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Chengqi for a while, suddenly realized, and without thinking about it, took away the one he had chosen at the beginning.
Then he looked at the corner of Ye Chengqi's mouth, the undisguised smile that really stretched out just now, he knew that he had chosen the wrong one before opening the red envelope.
This old fox...
Sure enough, fifty was neatly written inside the red envelope.
hehehe...
It's Zhu Rong's turn.
Of course she had no choice.
After unfolding the red envelope, she suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Ye Chengqi in a daze.
26 Avoid like snakes and scorpions
Zhu Rong stared at the living Ye Chengqi, then at the "Ye Chengqi" on the meeting paper, and then at the living Ye Chengqi for a while.
That's right, the words "Ye Chengqi" were written in the red envelope she drew.
No, she didn't smoke it at all, but he left it on purpose.
"Alas--"
"Oh--"
The girls joked for a while, then suddenly stopped talking.
Wrong, wrong, they are from Prince Rui's residence.
His Highness Prince Rui's face was already a little dark.
"Uncle Seventeen." Ye Hongxuan said, "What does this mean?"
Ye Chengqi laughed.
"Whatever you want." He said, "Uncle, I originally wanted to give myself to you, but unfortunately, we are not destined enough, nephew."
So, your fate with Zhu Rong is enough, right?
This old man is not ashamed!
Ye Hongxuan's face was black.
Zhu Rong looked at Ye Chengqi.
Anything and everything?
Why doesn't it sound... not very bad?
Ye Chengqi winked at her.
Then a group of people made noise until late at night, drank bamboo leaf green wine brewed by Zhu Rong himself, and set off a red firecracker in the middle of the night, before Ye Hongxuan and Ye Chengqi returned home.
Amidst the intermittent sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys, the Zhuzhi Hall gradually became quiet.
Zhu Rong wasn't very sleepy yet, the sound of firecrackers that didn't stop completely made her unable to sleep.
So she sat down on the stone steps outside the bedroom.
The first night of the new year was unexpectedly warm.
The breeze blows from the courtyard wall, and a figure lands beside her.
Zhu Rong was about to scream, but the man covered her mouth lightly.
"Don't be afraid, it's me." Ye Chengqi said.
His voice was deep, and for some reason, it made people blush.
Zhu Rong felt that Shu Yang had already moved, but he only paused for a moment, and then walked away.
How much did this guy get from Ye Chengqi today?
Just sold her like this!
"Why are you back?" Zhu Rong said.
Ye Chengqi looked at her and smiled.
"I wanted to be alone with you for a while, so I came back again." He said.
Zhu Rong snorted lightly and didn't speak.
This is unorthodox...
Sure enough, there are even more unscrupulous ones.
"I give myself to you, are you happy?" he said.
Zhu Rong was stunned for a while, but was not in a hurry to deny it.
happy……
Should be happy, right?
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Chengqi smiled jokingly and looked at her face.
At this glance, my heart felt like a sudden blow, and a piece of flesh and blood was torn away.
There was a thin mist in her eyes.
"You, don't cry."
Ye Chengqi was a little flustered, he had never felt such emotions before facing thousands of troops on the battlefield.
"You don't like me giving myself to you, I just take it back, don't cry, ah..." He said a little at a loss.
Zhu Rong looked up at the sky, trying to blink away the mist of tears.
"No."
A smile curled up on her lips.
"I'm happy. I cry because I'm happy." She said, "I'm much happier than I thought... I thought that this year's Chinese New Year would only be me and Shu Yang."
Hearing these words, Ye Chengqi felt a pain in his heart again, as if the wind had leaked from his chest, he was bursting with sour and bitter emotions.
"You mean... your parents are gone?" he asked.
Not only asked cautiously, but also a little timidly afraid of hearing the answer.
But Zhu Rong finally nodded.
If she looked at Ye Chengqi at this moment, she could see the sad look on his face when he first heard it, even more sad than her.
But the two were just silent, and sat side by side for an unknown amount of time, until the sound of firecrackers near and far no longer came from their ears.
"I'll take care of you."
On the first day of the new year, he said to her.
---
For some people, such as Ye Hongxuan and Ye Chengqi, the first month, as the beginning of the new year, is very busy and busy.
But for Zhu Rong, this year has been very leisurely.
In the first month, she had nowhere else to go except to go to Xu's mansion to pay respects to Mr. Xu for a new year, and then take a look at Mr. Xu.
But this time, besides Mr. Xu, she also saw Mrs. Xu.
At least for now, she can still be said to be her future mother-in-law before the engagement is officially dissolved.
She is a woman with delicate facial features and very benevolent eyebrows, but there is a haggard look between her brows that cannot be concealed.
The third son Xu is the only seedling under her knees, and now she is in such a catastrophe, as a mother, Mrs. Xu naturally feels extremely uncomfortable.
When Zhu Rong visited Third Young Master Xu, he found that he had also changed into new clothes.
In fact, every time she came to visit Third Young Master Xu, he was always clean, and the Xu family took good care of him.In his room, there is no slight musty smell that is typical of the rooms of ordinary chronically ill people.
He doesn't even look like a sick person.
Just... fell asleep.
Then for some reason, I couldn't wake up.
But even so, she couldn't wake him up.
Zhu Rong didn't use dream skills to probe again, because she knew that all efforts in dream skills would be futile until she was able to reach the highest point.
There is no hope for dream skills, maybe medical skills...
So in the following days, she had nowhere to go, so she nestled in her small bamboo forest, studying medicine hard.
But in the afternoon of this day, she suddenly heard a slight noise.
Very light, like a person deliberately slowing down the footsteps.
This is definitely not the footsteps of girls, nor Ye Chengqi or Ye Hongxuan.
Several thoughts flashed through Zhu Rong's mind, but when she thought that Shu Yang, Xu Ji, and Jing Zhan were not far away, she became more courageous.
This bamboo grove grows in the back garden, but the gate of the back garden is not closed, maybe someone entered by mistake.
She also leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, and walked in the direction of the sound.
Then, both sides froze.
"You...it's you." Su Mu said, there was more bewilderment in his voice than surprise.
Although he didn't know where this helplessness came from, Zhu Rong found that he seemed to be very happy to see that the calm and self-restraint on his face was broken.
She nodded, just waiting for him to continue speaking.
"Excuse me... where is this place?"
Su Mu looked at the bamboo forest and running water around him, and asked hesitantly.
"It's Zhuzhitang." Zhu Rong said, "I opened Zhuzhitang."
Of course he knew that Zhuzhitang was opened by her.
It's just that the scene here, how can it be so similar to the one in that painting?
Or, just a coincidence?
After all, all running water and bamboo forests look similar.
And it is not surprising that there are bamboos in the bamboo branch hall.
"It turned out to be the Bamboo Branch Hall."
Su Mu nodded and cupped his fists.
"I passed by and saw the quiet scenery, so I couldn't bear to invite myself in for a while, so please don't blame the owner." He said.
"It's okay." Zhu Rong said.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Mu walked back and forth.
Before leaving, he only said two words hastily.
"Farewell."
Zhu Rong wanted to call him to stop, but he held back when the words came to his lips.
Because she didn't know what she could say after calling him.
Zhu Rong smiled wryly.
So, is it true that unless she puts on the veil, he must avoid her like a snake?
27 Qujiang Spring Banquet
In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.
Ye Chengqi was not around that day, so Ye Hongxuan said to Zhu Rong: "You have been covered from winter to spring, may I invite you out to play?"
Zhu Rongwenyan put down the medical case, blinked and said with a smile: "Okay, when?"
---
"the day after tomorrow!"
Xu Mingzhu patted the table and stood up in surprise.
"Yunyun, have you received the post?" She said, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui actually wants to personally host this year's Shangsi Qujiang Banquet!"
Su Yun glanced at her lightly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
No matter how you say it, Ye Hongxuan is his own cousin, so the relationship is naturally infinitely closer than that of other idlers.
"Everyone knows what it means to visit flowers at the Qujiang Banquet..." Xu Mingzhu said, "So, he didn't mean to invite that bitch?"
"Just go." Su Yun said nonchalantly, "It's none of my business."
"Yunyun, you're right." Xu Mingzhu smiled, "It's better for His Royal Highness Duanwang, he saved you last time at the gate of Zhuzhitang."
At the entrance of Zhuzhitang?
Su Yun frowned, feeling a sense of humiliation in her heart.
It turned out that that person, from the first day back to Jin Jue, went straight to that lowly servant girl in vain!
She and her companions mistakenly thought that he was interested in her.
It’s ridiculous!
Xu Mingzhu didn't notice the change in her heart yet, so she just said there: "It's uncertain who will sit in this world in the future. Isn't there a rumor that the emperor intends to appoint His Highness King Duan as his younger brother? So you want to marry Duan Yunyun?" His Royal Highness’s words, maybe in the future, he will be able to empathize with the world..."
"Enough, shut up!" Su Yun suddenly shouted coldly.
Xu Mingzhu was frightened into silence by her.
It's rare for her to lose her temper so clearly.
After all, she is a good sister in the eyes of her brother.
Su Yun took two deep breaths, and the expression on his face relaxed again.
"You just got one sentence right."
She said with a sinister sneer on her face.
"Prince Duan saved me. A frightened horse is very scary, very scary..."
---
On the third day of March, spring blossoms bloom beside the banks of the Qujiang River, and green willows line up.
More beautiful and eye-catching than the fragrant flowers in the grass are the various spring shirts worn by noble girls.
Accompanied by two girls, Zhu Rong stood among the group of young girls.She only knew that Ye Hongxuan confessed that she stood here and then left, and she didn't know what would happen next.
However, I heard him mention it before, this is the first time he hosted the Qujiang Spring Banquet, and in previous years, it was the royal brothers who worked hard.
"So you're so lazy."
Zhu Rong also made fun of him at the time.
Ye Hongxuan was obviously embarrassed by what she said.
"No." He said, "It's just that as the host, you must do one thing before it can be regarded as a formal banquet..."
I wish you great interest.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
Ye Hongxuan actually sells the key.
"If you go to see it, you will know." He said.
"I'm coming!"
The girls all cheered excitedly.
Zhu Rong first heard the sound of hoofbeats, then raised his eyes and saw a group of young men riding horses in the shade of green poplars.
Those who can be invited by the prince to come to the Qujiang Spring Banquet are none other than the noble children of Jinjue City.
Among them, two figures are the most eye-catching.
"Hey, isn't His Highness Prince Duan married Zhengfei yet? Why didn't His Highness Prince Rui invite him?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I can't see His Royal Highness Duan Wang..."
"Be content! It's not bad to be able to see His Highness Prince Rui and His Highness Prince Changning..."
The girls whispered to each other.
Zhu Rong looked at them, and those girls also looked at her, they were also stunned, and stopped talking.
Zhu Rong turned around unconsciously, but met Xu Mingzhu's eyes, Su Yun didn't look sideways, and stood beside her.
Zhu Rong was taken aback, thinking that Xu Mingzhu was going to ridicule or find a way out of herself.
Unexpectedly, she turned around as if nothing had happened, and only looked at it from the side, and she could see the unparalleled smile on her face.
Do you want to be so happy?
Congrats inexplicably.
Within a short while, the teenagers had already rode their horses up to them and dismounted one after another.
It was only then that Zhu Rong saw clearly that each young man held a freshly picked fresh flower in his hand.
And soon, many girls received flowers from the boy, some received one, some two, and some three or four...
Those who received one branch blushed, those who received two branches blushed even more, and those who received three or four branches... turned a little blue.
A girl's admirer should still be expensive and not expensive. If there are too many, people will say that the girl is not reserved and gossips.
Zhu Rong suddenly realized what it meant to present flowers at the Qujiang Banquet.
And she still seems to remember that her mother said that she and her father met at the Qujiang Spring Banquet...
Zhu Rong was startled and looked at Ye Hongxuan.
Her hands are empty, but the flowers in his hands have not yet been given away.
he won't be...
Zhu Rong's heart beat a little faster.
Then she saw that Su Mu still had flowers in his hand.
In fact, it wasn't just Zhu Rong, many girls were staring at Su Mu and Ye Hongxuan.
Su Mu moved first than Ye Hongxuan.
He went to the middle of the group of girls and gave the flowers to his sister.
"Hey……"
"cut……"
The girls and boys present all burst into sighs.
"When it's raining, you're playing tricks."
Somebody shoved him.
Su Mu smiled and hugged, without defending.
"It's nice to have such a brother."
Another girl envied Su Yun.
Su Yun had a sweet and reserved smile on her face, but when she lowered her head, there was unconcealed pride in her eyes.
is good.
Zhu Rong thought about it.
In fact, she was quite envious of Su Yun.
Right now, only Ye Hongxuan still holds flowers in his hands.
According to the rules, only after the flower in his hand was given away, Shangsi Qujiang would officially open the banquet.
Although the girls had heard some rumors before, many of them still had fantasies and expectations in their hearts.
But Ye Hongxuan directly shattered their illusions.
When the pure and flawless white magnolia flower was handed to Zhu Rong, Su Yun snapped and cut off the stem in his hand.
"I know you love bamboo, but today, maybe it's a shame to accept my white magnolia flower?" Ye Hongxuan looked at Zhu Rong and said.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she can refute his face, can she say no?
Zhu Rong took it without hesitation, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Hongxuan smiled as if breathing a sigh of relief.
The crowd was silent for a while, and then the laughter and hilarity broke out as if nothing had happened.
When Zhu Rong turned around, he met Su Mu's gaze.
But it was just a glance, and he looked away.
His expression was indifferent, like...
Forget it, she has no intention of delving into his expression when facing her.
This is the norm, right?
Although it is called Qujiang Spring Banquet, it is not mainly about eating.
After everyone sat at the banquet for a while, a brave girl suggested that the second repertoire of the day - horse riding.
it has started!
The flower stem in Su Yun's sleeve broke off another section.
28 Why Are You So Stupid
The folk customs of the Dazhen Empire were open. Not only did men and women marry late, but women also valued both ability and morality, and they were more respected for being superior in dream skills.
In short, among the noble women, there are many who can ride a horse.
"Let's go horseback riding too." Ye Hongxuan said to Zhu Rong.
When he called her out, he came here to play, not to sit here for others to see.
Zhu Rong was a little embarrassed, and this embarrassment was amplified when it met the surprise on Ye Hongxuan's face.
"I can't ride a horse," she said.
"There are things you don't know." Ye Hongxuan said with a smile, "Then let me teach you, okay?"
Zhu Rongbian was also a little eager to try, and readily agreed.
The attendants of Prince Rui's residence on the side led the horses, Ye Hongxuan helped Zhu Rong onto the horses, and then willingly acted as a groom, leading the two horses away.
The pasture by the bank was full of flying figures, and Zhu Rong and Ye Hongxuan quickly got mixed up among them.
Su Mu's eyes followed them all the time.
When Zhu Rong was giggling on the horse, and Ye Hongxuan laughed loudly with her, he looked at Su Yun very worriedly.
But what surprised him was that his younger sister Su Yun might not have noticed his gaze, but she was also staring straight at the two figures.
But the expression in her eyes didn't seem to be mournful, but more like...excited and looking forward to it!
Su Yun was really looking forward to it, not only was she looking forward to it, she was also sneering at herself in her heart.
Ye Hongxuan, I really understand you!

There are many horses raised in Prince Rui's residence, but Ye Hongxuan's favorite is only two horses.
A bay red horse with strong explosive power was mostly ridden by him in the past; the other gray horse has a docile personality and excellent endurance, which is perfect for women, especially beginners.
Zhu Rong is now riding this extremely docile gray horse.
But the docile gray horse suddenly went crazy, spread its hooves and galloped towards the mountains beside the bank.
After many people came to their senses, men and women all chased after her.
Su Mu's right hand trembled, and the teacup fell on his body, splashing dripping water all over his lap. He didn't care about it at all, so he got on his horse and chased after him.
Su Yun looked at his back angrily.
Why is even brother so nervous, that lowly maid?
She didn't see her, and when Su Mu left, he gave her a look in disbelief.
Zhu Rong hugged the horse's neck desperately, the strong wind blew the rough horse's mane, which made her cheeks hurt, but she didn't dare to move.Even though she lowered her body as much as possible, the branches and leaves that were blown up by the wild running all the way left bloodstains on her hands, feet and limbs.
"Xiao Rong!"
The anxious shouts of the people behind came along with the wind.
Zhu Rong turned her head tremblingly, but didn't dare to let go of her hand.
Ye Hongxuan's pupils suddenly dilated.
"Don't—" he yelled.
Amid the screams of the others and Zhu Rong's own screams, the gray horse plummeted towards the cliff.And Ye Hongxuan didn't even think about it, so he abandoned his steed and flew towards Zhu Rong.
As soon as the two of them joined forces, they fell into the mountain stream so neatly.
The others were lucky enough to rein in their horses, but they were all dumbfounded at the bottomless mountain stream.
Su Mu's face was also dead.
Then I don't know who started crying first.
"It's over, it's over! Call someone to find it!"
If we can't find His Highness Prince Rui, we'll all die together!
They found His Highness Prince Rui, if they were not alive, they would die together too!

When old man Zhang walked into the gate, he realized that the Zhuzhi Hall was extremely quiet today.
He sized it up carefully for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Doctor Su... isn't here today?"
The man with a handsome face like a god stood up from the corner, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were shining brightly.
"She's not here." He said, "Old man, are you here to see a doctor?"
"Yes, yes." Old man Zhang said, "Since she's not here, I'll come back another day."
Ye Chengqi nodded.
"Is it an incurable disease in Wanmutang?" He said.
"Of course." Old man Zhang said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't bother Dr. Su."
"That's it." Ye Chengqi said with a smile, "She's not here, so I'm still here. Just tell me about your illness, and I'll record it as a medical record and hand it over to her without any delay."
"Hey, that's fine, that's fine."
Old man Zhang sat down in front of the hall as he spoke.
Jing Zhan looked at his highness, and somehow the word "virtuous" flashed in his mind.
After old man Zhang left, Ye Chengqi returned to his original position and sat down to review the documents sent by the Northwest Army.
Jing Zhan finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked at the gap and said, "Your Highness, you are really kind to Miss Su. I am so touched that I am so moved."
Ye Chengqi glanced at him sideways.
"Are you touched?" He said with a half-smile, "Do you hate yourself for not being born as a woman so that you can marry me, the prince?"
Jing Zhan laughed.
"Even if the young one is a girl, she doesn't have the blessing to marry Your Highness." He said.
Ye Chengqi snorted.
"It's your acquaintance."
As he spoke, he dipped a stroke of thick ink and lowered his head again.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
Someone yelled and ran into Zhuzhitang.
Jing Zhan recognized that the man was also a guard in Prince Duan's mansion.
His Highness is still sitting here, so no matter what happens in the mansion, even if it is on fire, it is definitely not a big deal.
"What are you yelling about?" He scolded the man repeatedly, "Is your father dead or your mother dead?"
"It's worse than the death of my parents!" The man said with a mournful face, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui and Miss Su fell to the bottom of the cliff together!"
With a "click", the pen holder in Ye Chengqi's hand fell straight onto the silk, leaving behind a mass of thick black ink stains.
And almost in an instant, a gust of wind blew out of the inner hall and rushed towards the outside of the gate.

When Ye Hongxuan woke up, he saw Zhu Rong sitting beside him, trembling uncontrollably.The face that was originally as crystal clear as snow was now covered with stains and even bloodstains, looking quite embarrassed.
Ye Hongxuan's heart ached heavily, and he struggled to sit up, only to realize that his whole body was in pain as if falling apart.
And the many wounds on his body had already been treated roughly by Zhu Rong.
Zhu Rong noticed that he was awake, and looked over in a daze, her eyes were dull, obviously she was too frightened to wake up.
He thought she was going to talk about pain or fear, or to care about his injury, but the first thing she said was——
"Why are you so stupid?"
Then, the tears meandered down like a small stream, washing Zhang's little face black and white.
Ye Hongxuan smiled.
He was granted the title of Prince Rui at the age of five, and no one really said he was stupid when he grew up so big.
As for at that time, he couldn't remember how he jumped off after her without even thinking about it.
"I promised Shu Yang. If he doesn't take you back properly, he will never let you play with me again in the future."
In the end, he could only think of one reason.
Zhu Rong made a "puchi", and cried again after laughing.
Fortunately, they were so lucky that they were cushioned by the tree when they fell, and the gray horse was under their heads, so they didn't fall directly to death.
As for the gray horse, it was snorting at this moment, but it was only exhaling, not inhaling.
When Ye Hongxuan first saw a pool of blood on the ground, he couldn't help but be terrified. After careful inspection, it turned out to be the blood of the gray horse, but his heart felt sympathetic.
"It's Su Yun." Zhu Rong said firmly, "She was the one who drugged this horse in advance."
29 Can't Stand Up
Ye Hongxuan's knuckles were clenched tightly, his eyes revealed awe-inspiring look.
"Damn her," he said.
Zhu Rong was taken aback.
"You just believe
