Chapter 142 All In Pairs (Two Chapters In One)

No matter how furious the concubine Xian in Baihua Palace is, in Weiyang Palace, Chu Yi still continues to use her current Flowing Sword.

After a set of sword skills, she put down the wooden sword, took the square handkerchief Xiao Yan handed over, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said a little excitedly: "From today onwards, the curfew will be canceled in Shangjing. This is such a good thing, I have to think about it." Want to go out and play something?"

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "Your Highness, I will take leave of absence to go out of the palace, so I won't practice sword with the princess in the afternoon."

"You're going...Okay, then you go out of the palace. Father has promised you that you can go out of the palace once a month. I can't always let you waste your time on me. I went to Fan's mansion yesterday to accompany me. Yes, it doesn’t count.”

Chu Yi was taken aback for a moment, opened her mouth, and tried her best not to blurt out the question.

Seeing her clear almond eyes suddenly dim, Xiao Yan couldn't help but gently pressed her hair, like a little rabbit's head with drooping ears.

His tone was low and magnetic: "Time spent on the princess is not a waste."

"Don't pat my head." Chu Yi covered her face with a square scarf and said sullenly.

At the door, Zhenxue led Lianqiao in: "Your Highness, Miss Lianqiao from Baihua Palace is here."

"My servant has seen Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that our mother just made to celebrate the great victory in the Beifu, and this servant specially came here to give it to Your Highness."

Lian Qiao was dressed in a light blue court lady's dress, and presented a food box respectfully.

"Osmanthus cake? Thank you, Concubine Xian, for your kindness." Chu Yi poked her head out of the square scarf to thank her.

Her eyes glanced casually over Lianqiao's face, vaguely familiar: "Your name is Lianqiao? The one who went to worship together at the gate of Fan Mansion yesterday, Chu, the maid next to Brother Four, is you, right?"

"It's the servant girl. The servant girl was ordered by the concubine Xian to see the second son of the Fan family off yesterday." Lian Qiao nodded, and finally raised her head, carefully looking at Chu Yi's face.

She knew that the princess in front of her was the woman His Royal Highness liked.

As for her, it was only because she had eyes similar to those of the princess that she was able to get a little mercy from His Highness the Fourth Highness.

Lianqiao thought to herself, Princess Yongning is really beautiful, at such a close distance, the princess is like a little fairy in the sky, it is not difficult for the Fourth Highness to like her, it is not difficult to understand.

She and the princess are like firefly candles and bright moons, peonies and wild flowers and weeds in the country.

Chu Yi opened the food box and sniffed the scent that came to her face: "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is really freshly made, the craftsmanship of the concubine Xian, I naturally like it, Miss Forsythia, you can eat a piece too."

Forsythia didn't shirk, she picked up a piece decisively, and ate it without hesitation.

Chu Yi's heart moved slightly.Lian Qiao is the maid next to Concubine Xian, and she has not met her a few times in total, but the way she looks at herself at this moment is a little strange.

She couldn't feel any malice, but felt that Forsythia seemed to want to say something to herself.

Forsythia's eyes flicked to Xiao Yan who was next to her, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

"Since the princess's sword has been practiced, then I will take my leave first." Xiao Yan also saw the meaning behind her words, so he stood up and left.

Chu Yi watched his back disappear, her red lips pursed slightly.

During this time, Xiao Yan had been practicing sword with her all the time. Now he suddenly left early and said that he would leave the palace in the afternoon and would not come back again. Chu Yi felt sore and was not used to it.

"Xiao Yan has already left, Miss Lianqiao, what do you want to say to Bengong?" She calmed down, looked at Lianqiao calmly, and asked.

Lian Qiao looked at Chu Yi, summoned up her courage, and said slowly, "Princess, I actually want to tell you something."

"It's something related to Brother Four," Chu Yi said, with a serious expression on his face, "but it's okay to say."

"Princess, in fact, you have always misunderstood the fourth highness. Yiqiu is the person who was placed in your palace by the concubine Xian. At that time, she found out that you went to Nanfu privately, and saw someone from the crown prince helping you open the city gate. The fourth highness was afraid. She tipped off the Fan family, that's why they got rid of her."

When Lianqiao spoke, she spoke for Chu Zhao.

Chu Yi had already guessed this matter, and Chu Zhao admitted it, but she just didn't know what was going on at that time.

"And the various gifts that Fan Yunsheng gave you over the years were actually chosen by His Royal Highness for you personally. He was afraid that you would not accept them. Sometimes, he gave them to you by Fan Yunsheng's hand, and sometimes, he gave them to you by His Royal Highness Fifth. .

Even when he is out on business, he still misses the princess's favorite pens, inks, papers and inkstones, ancient paintings and books, and often brings them back, before hesitating on how to give them to you. "

Lian Qiao continued talking, and in front of her eyes, it seemed that Chu Zhao seriously ordered Tan Feng to prepare a gift for the princess, and when he asked himself what kind of gift a girl like the princess would like.

Chu Yi frowned slightly, recalling some expensive gifts in her treasury that didn't match her impression of Fan Yunsheng, were those all from Chu Zhao?

"Also, His Highness killed Fan Yunsheng, because His Highness was afraid that he would harm you."

Chu Yi took a breath, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

It really was Chu Zhao, that is to say, he was really at odds with Concubine Xian.

After a long time, she came back to her senses and asked, "Miss Lianqiao, what are you talking about?"

"Your maidservant is actually a member of His Highness Fourth Highness." Lian Qiao said.

This was the first time she saw Chu Yi face to face and had the opportunity to talk to her.

She couldn't help but tell her about the Fourth Highness she had seen these years, because she really felt sorry for the Fourth Highness's silent dedication, but was always misunderstood by the princess.

Tears glistened in Forsythia's eyes, and her tone was crying:

"The maidservant just wanted to tell the princess that the Fourth Highness and Concubine Xian's mother and son had been at odds for many years. Concubine Xian was domineering. She wanted to control everything about His Highness. As her son, His Highness could only resist secretly. In his heart, it was There are yours."

"You have always been closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he can only treat you indifferently in front of the empress, but he cares about you. I hope the princess can see his goodness, and don't keep misunderstood him."

Forsythia almost exhausted all her strength to complete these words.

Chu Zhao would never say these words to the princess in his life.

If she doesn't say it now, maybe she will never have the chance to say it.

She looked at Chu Yi nervously, with tears in her eyes, a little pitiful.

Chu Yi looked at her and nodded gently.

"I can see his kindness, so I have long stopped complaining about his superficial indifference to me. He is my fourth brother, how could my sister resent my brother? I just don't want him to keep making mistakes."

"Fourth brother..." Lian Qiao repeated the address in a low voice.

She remembered that only when the princess was a child, would she call the Fourth Highness Brother, and later on, the three words "Fourth Emperor Brother" were unfamiliar.

Chu Yi said: "In my heart, I have always hoped to go back to the past with him. He is still my fourth brother."

Lianqiao understood what Chu Yi meant and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

However, she couldn't explain anything further. If the princess was forced to understand the feelings of His Highness Fourth, maybe the princess would get bored with His Highness.

Fourth Highness, this is all the servants can do.

"My servant understands that this servant just hopes that the princess can see the people around her, and that His Royal Highness can get what she wants..." She lowered her head, her eyes were gloomy and gentle.

Chu Yi bent her eyes and said with a smile: "I also hope that fourth brother can see the people around me."

Forsythia is beautiful and brave, and she is Chu Zhao's subordinate. If one day Chu Zhao becomes enlightened, it will be a good story...

Lian Qiao suddenly understood what Chu Yi meant, her delicate cheeks instantly turned extremely bright red, and the tips of her ears were about to bleed.

"Slave, servant, leave!"

With a blushing face, she fled Weiyang Palace in a hurry, until she was almost at the Baihua Palace, her face gradually calmed down, she couldn't hold back for a moment, and jumped up excitedly.

She actually told Princess Yongning about His Royal Highness's thoughts!

Although the princess didn't seem to understand what she said, even if the princess regarded the Fourth Highness as her elder brother, it was better than hating him all the time.

Forsythia bit her lip and walked back slowly.

From a long time ago, when she sensed His Highness's thoughts, she knew that in His Highness's heart, she was just a substitute for the princess, no, she was just beside His Highness, not even a substitute.

But she doesn't ask for anything.

The princess is someone His Royal Highness likes, so she will not hate the princess like Yiqiu;

At the same time, she will not fight for anything like Narcissus.

As long as she can look at the Fourth Highness from a distance and help the Fourth Highness, it is enough.

"I probably don't like the princess," Lianqiao muttered to herself, laughing helplessly, "but, who wouldn't like her, she's so good, but Your Highness, it's hard for you."

She hurried back to the inner hall, picked up a cup of tea, and went to report to Concubine Xian.

Inside the hall, the voice of Concubine Xian talking to Rose suddenly came out.

"Zhaoer actually likes her. It turns out that he has been acting in front of Bengong all this time! You bastard!"

"Snapped!"

There was the sound of teacup porcelain breaking.

Forsythia suddenly stopped in her tracks, her heart beating wildly.

She looked around subconsciously, except for herself, there were no other palace people near the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, calm down, maybe, maybe Mr. Fan is just guessing, and the Fourth Highness usually treats the princess badly..." Rose advised.

"Mother, you know, I was confused before, but I was deceived by him. I really thought that Fan Yunsheng had found out something crazy and threatened me. He killed it well...well, it's very good. What he found was not at all. Ben Gong and Su Jingyuan, and Zhao Er and Chu Yi!" Concubine Xian's voice was almost hysterical.

"Go and send a letter to your brother now, telling him that you can do it! Go! Wait, quickly get rid of the boy who sent the message. You must not let your brother know about this!"

Their conversation was like pouring a basin of ice water on Forsythia's head.

The teacup in her hand shook and almost fell to the ground.

The relationship between Concubine Xian and Su Jingyuan?
This should be the reason why Rose paid out by herself before.

But for some reason, Concubine Xian actually knew how His Highness Fourth Highness felt for the princess!
Forsythia tried her best to calm down, and retreated quietly and quickly.

She wanted to tell His Royal Highness the news immediately, Fan Yunsheng was holding back, Concubine Xian seemed to want to do something with Prime Minister Fan!

Lian Qiao hurried back to her room, sat on the chair and thought about how to tell the Fourth Highness about this matter.

After the Fourth Highness saved herself from a palace guard many years ago, she swore that she would protect the Fourth Highness with her life.

The meaning of her existence is Chu Zhao.

……

"The curfew has been lifted, and the Habayashi Army and the Gyeonggi Battalion are also on holiday for two days. Yier, aren't you surprised!"

On the streets of Beijing, Fu Qianqian held Chu Yi's arm with one hand, and held two bunches of red candied haws in the other.

"I think it's you, Sister Qianqian, who are surprised."

Chu Yi broke free from her hand helplessly, and looked at Cen Xiao beside Fu Qianqian expressionlessly: "So what if the Yulin Army is on vacation, Little General Cen has no self-consciousness, doesn't he know how to train himself?"

"Also, Qianqian, please pay attention, my son is now a man."

She lightly lifted a few strands of hair in front of her forehead, revealing her handsome and delicate features. She was dressed in a brocade robe with a jade belt, with a slender figure, and a jade pendant and a delicate dagger given to her by Xiao Yan on her waist. Gentle.

Fu Qianqian quickly put down her hands: "Wuuuu, I'm used to it, and Yi'er, your outfit is really good... even if you look too similar to His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Chu Yi smiled slightly, and shook her braids: "This is what I want."

Wait a minute, her fifth prince is going to visit brothels.

Cen Xiao scratched his head, and explained in a low voice: "Qi, Your Highness, I want to continue training in the camp, but Taiwei Rong said that he will go back to the mansion in a few days, and let the young people of the humble Go relax, too."

Chu Yi asked: "Relax? How did Su Bai and Si Yue relax?"

Cen Xiao let out an "ah", and his Yingting eyebrows furrowed.

"Brother April said he was going to enter the palace to greet the princess. Didn't you see him? Brother Su went to find his elder brother Commander Su. I'm humble. I just have nothing to do. I can... go shopping with the princess and the county lord."

Chu Yi raised his forehead: "Qianqian pulled me out of the palace when it was still light, I didn't see April, that's all, since the curfew is cancelled, then we can really have fun all over again, let's go, ah Sister, I will take you to Changlefang!"

As soon as she patted her chest, she wanted to drag Fu Qianqian to find Lu Fengmian.

Changle Fang sings well, dances well, and there are beauties to watch, she likes it the most.

When Cen Xiao heard the word "Changlefang", he was dazed for two seconds before realizing what it was, and his head instantly grew bigger.

"Wait, wait, princess, county lord, people can't, at least they shouldn't..." He stammered.

Fu Qianqian also thought of what Changlefang does, her pretty face blushed, she looked up at Cen Xiao quickly, and said in a low voice:
"Yi'er, let's just go shopping, I, I'm not interested in these Qin Lou Chu Pavilions at all, and, we girls, it's better not to go to those places!"

Tsk tsk, Fu Qianqian just pretend.Chu Yi's eyes turned back and forth on the two of them, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Then let's go shopping. What does sister want to eat, Cen Xiao, go buy it for me and sister."

"Yes, I obey!"

Bright lights were lit on the long street at night, the common people were shoulder to shoulder, bustling, and there were many hawkers and merchants around, so it was very lively.

Cen Xiao lined up to buy mung bean cakes for Fu Qianqian, while Chu Yi bought a paper rabbit lamp at random, and said in a low voice, "Next time Cen Xiao is not here, I will take you to Changlefang."

Fu Qianqian nodded again and again, like a chicken pecking rice: "Good! I heard that there are still actors in Changlefang. I wanted to go and see it early in the morning."

Chu Yi: As expected of the eldest princess' daughter.

"Sugar Blower, Sugar Blower."

"The hot buns just out of the oven, to celebrate the great victory, they are on sale for two cents."

"The little turtle just caught in the river is fresh and lively for the girls!"

"Exquisite cloth, fair price, no deception..."

The cries kept coming and going, Fu Qianqian happily took the mung bean cake bought by Cen Xiao and ate it, with a smile on her soft face.

"What would the princess want to eat? I'll buy it, too." Cen Xiao asked again.

"I don't want to eat, just protect sister Qianqian, drink ice, let's go for a stroll over there." Chu Yi said, walking away from the crowd in a low mood.

Yin Bing appeared in the crowd, adjusted his bamboo hat, and followed silently.

Chu Yi looked at the common people who peddled, on such a lively night, there were couples of men and women everywhere on the street, she was the only one alone.

Also watch Fu Qianqian flirting with Cen Xiao!
"My lord, do you want to buy a mask?" The peddler next to him asked enthusiastically, "Look at this general's fangs mask, it's quite masculine. If you can't buy it for five renminbi, you will suffer a loss. If you can't buy it for five renminbi, you will be fooled..."

Chu Yi: "..."

"I want that." Chu Yi casually pointed to a fox mask to put on, and walked back into the crowd sullenly.

"Ask for leave to go out of the palace, don't ask for leave sooner or later, but ask for leave today... Great Demon King, what a nuisance."

She walked, talking to herself, until there was a black "wall" in front of her, blocking her way.

If Chu Yi goes to the left, the "wall" also goes to the left; if Chu Yi goes to the right, the "wall" also goes to the right.

"Who doesn't have long eyes, dare to stand in my way!" She raised her head irritably.
