Chapter 65 Lotus Lamp Peony Lamp

Although Fu Changxi's method of dealing with a rival in love was simple and rude, it was completely different from what Tang He had thought in advance.

But Xie Qiuyan was still very relieved in his heart: anyway, the lord, he can be considered a shot, at least he didn't turn around and left - this shows how low Xie Qiuyan and other subordinates have on their own masters.

Therefore, Xie Qiuyan did not delay after taking the order, and walked over.

Fu Nianjia was very vigilant. When the hydrangea came flying, he could push Zhen Tingyun away as soon as possible, and at this time, he could naturally find Xie Qiuyan coming over. He quickly withdrew the hand on Zhen Tingyun's shoulder, then raised his eyes, looked directly at Xie Qiuyan who was approaching, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

His voice was cold and indifferent, without showing any emotion.

Xie Qiuyan first greeted Fu Nianjia, and then said Fu Changxi's previous words with a slight modification: "His Royal Highness ordered the minister to come over and send a message, and ask the prince to go to the palace immediately. His Highness has something to discuss with you."

"Uncle?" Fu Nianjia couldn't help frowning, and there seemed to be doubts in his jet-black eyes, "It's so late, what's the matter? It's worth the uncle that he sent you to look for me?"

Xie Qiuyan: "...His Royal Highness didn't mention it, and the minister didn't know it." Probably, because he didn't like you?

Hearing this, Fu Nianjia was even more suspicious, frowned and looked around.

When his eyes swept across the position where Xie Qiuyan had come, Xie Qiuyan thought of the Prince Regent, his shoulders stiffened and then relaxed, secretly saying: The men of the Fu family are generally suspicious, the prince will be suspicious and will patrol from left to right, the prince must be too If you are prepared, you will hide your tracks in advance.

Sure enough, Fu Nianjia looked around and found nothing, but it was inevitable that he would speculate more: although he has errands at hand, it is not very important. And...how did Xie Qiuyan find it here, or even find it so accurately?

Fu Nianjia looked at Xie Qiuyan with slightly deep eyes.

Xie Qiuyan looked calm, and asked again: "Prince, the lord is impatient to wait, please follow me to the palace."

Fu Nianjia was just silent and did not respond.

The atmosphere also condensed for a while.

Zhen Tingyun, who had been pretending to be non-existent, had to take the initiative to speak: "Otherwise, Shizi, you go first - the business is important, it is really not easy to keep the regent waiting for a long time. I am much better here, cousin and they should be soon. coming back."

Seeing her, Fu Nianjia's face softened a little and said, "I'll wait for them to come over before leaving."

Xie Qiuyan, however, knew the temperament of his lord, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to bite the bullet and shout again: "Sir, where is the lord..."

"What? I can't even stand here for a while?" Fu Nianjia has always been indifferent, but at this moment, he was furious and looked cold. It's just that the words that came out of his thin lips were like knives, and the words were sharp, "Uncle Huang asked me to pass, and I have to pass through as a nephew. It's just that no matter big or small, it's me and the emperor. What's the matter between you? A servant of yours is holding a chicken feather as an arrow, and urging you slowly in front of me. What's your heart? What's the reason? Could it be that you want to use this to provoke the Yan Wangfu and alienate my relationship with the emperor's uncle and nephew? "

Xie Qiuyan felt that he was really kind: Your uncle is waiting for you to leave quickly, so he can come up to fill the gap. You are chatting with me here, and your uncle is probably even more impatient. If he drags it on, he may not be able to wait, and he will come up to chase people by himself.

Sighing inwardly, Xie Qiuyan still had to say one more sentence: "Sir, this minister is here on the orders of the lord. I also ask the lord not to make the lord wait for a long time, which will make it difficult for me to be a minister." After a pause, he He said, "If the prince really doesn't worry about Miss Zhen's affairs here, I can leave a few secret guards down for protection."

Only then did Fu Nianjia reluctantly nodded, bowed his head and said a few words to Zhen Tingyun. He was about to leave when he suddenly looked around again and looked at Xie Qiuyan meaningfully: "Have the dark guard you said arrived already?"

Xie Qiuyan thought about the secret guard who had been with Zhen Tingyun for a long time and the prince who was waiting to come up, and she lied confidently: "I'll be there early, please rest assured the prince."

Fu Nianjia frowned, she didn't know what to think, she quickly left with a cold face.

Xie Qiuyan didn't have time to say more, so he had to follow him in a hurry, and he was more and more anxious about the situation on the other side of the lord - Tang He, the bastard, asked him to follow the lord tonight, but he was sent by the lord, will it affect the latter? s arrangement?

Thinking of this, Xie Qiuyan wondered if the prince had let him pass the word by killing two birds with one stone: not only did he spare Fu Nianjia, an unsightly nephew, but also his own unsightly subordinate?

 …

Xie Qiuyan was full of doubts, but Fu Changxi breathed a sigh of relief. After Fu Nianjia and Xie Qiuyan were far away, he walked over and called out, "Ting Yun."

Zhen Tingyun was standing leaning against the willow tree, trying to test the severity of the sprain on his foot, wondering if he could take a few steps first, when he heard the sound and turned around, he saw Fu Changxi walking up from behind.

Fu Changxi could be sure that the moment she saw her, her eyes immediately lit up.

Like a black gem soaked in water, like a star in the dark night, shining brightly.

Fu Changxi's anxiety all night, struggle and hesitation all night, all melted away like ice and snow in her eyes at this moment.

His brows also stretched out, revealing a slight smile.

It's just that Fu Changxi was always careful. When he saw her walking towards him, he stumbled and his feet seemed to be in the way. He also stepped forward, reaching out to support Zhen Tingyun, who was about to move around, and asked softly. Said: "What's wrong with your feet?"

"Yes." Zhen Tingyun wasn't quite used to Fu Nianjia's close contact, but he was naturally close to Mr. Fu Changxi. He leaned halfway to Fu Changxi's hand and said softly, "I seem to be sprained."

Fu Changxi immediately said, "I'll take a look for you."

Saying that, she squatted down to see her sprained foot.

Zhen Tingyun felt ashamed just now, and quickly shrank the sprained foot back and said, "No, no, it's much better."

Seeing that Fu Changxi hadn't given up his thoughts, Zhen Tingyun turned the subject and asked him, "Sir, why are you here?"

This question really stumped Fu Changxi for a while. He hesitated for a moment, then said: "...I heard people say that there is a garden party in the women's school today. I thought that I would never see you again after you entered the school, so I came to see you." After a pause, he asked again, " What, you don't want to see me?"

Although he knew that it didn't seem good for him to think like this, Fu Changxi still had doubts: Does Zhen Tingyun feel that he has delayed her getting along with Fu Nianjia?

Zhen Tingyun blinked, looking at Fu Changxi's handsome face that was almost sharp, and suddenly smiled. Her eyelashes fell down one by one, and the blush on her cheeks became even more embarrassing, but she still answered seriously, "No! I was very happy when I saw you, sir."

As she spoke, her voice fell unconscious, soft and soft, more gentle than the scent of flowers in the night wind.

"I just feel that I can always meet Mr. at times like this—whenever there is difficulty, I will see Mr. when I look up." After speaking, Zhen Tingyun felt a little warm on his cheeks, so he lowered his eyes. "Really very, very lucky."

Fu Changxi didn't know how to respond for a while, but his face was a little hot. He clenched his fist and covered it with his mouth, coughed softly, and felt a little better in his throat, and then said vaguely, "It's really a coincidence."

Zhen Tingyun regained his energy, and asked with a smile, "Sir, you are here, why don't we go and set off a river lantern together?"

Fu Changxi didn't answer, first frowning at her sprained foot, and then saying, "Your foot is not yet healed, so don't toss it. Walking around like this will only make the pain worse. Let's just stand here for a while. "

Zhen Tingyun puffed up his cheeks and hummed, "Sir, don't you like me?"

Fu Changxi choked his chest, and immediately retorted: "What nonsense?"

Zhen Tingyun glared at him righteously: "Sir definitely doesn't like me - the rare Qixi Festival, and I rarely meet Mr. Sir, you don't allow me to buy a river lantern to put on."

Fu Changxi was about to be deceived by Zhen Tingyun's delusions. After a while, he said, "Okay, you stand here, I'll go buy it."

Zhen Tingyun hummed deeply: "When you buy a river lantern, you have to choose it yourself. How do you know what kind of river lantern I like, sir?"

Fu Changxi was also led astray by her for a while. Seeing her angrily looking at him, he could only nod his heart when he softened: "Then, let me help you over there."

Halfway through the two, Zhen Tingyun suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Fu Changxi: "Sir, did you bring any money?"

Sir, have you brought any money?

Sir, have you brought any money?

Sir, have you brought any money?

This sentence reverberated in Fu Changxi's mind three times, which was deafening, so much so that he forgot how to reply for a while, but tried to recall a series of events after he left the palace: Yes, he only left the palace at that time. When he came out, he got on the carriage, and directly sent people to the Kyoto Women's School. At that time, he was still wearing a special dress made by the feudal lord, and naturally he didn't bring any money. When he got to the entrance of the women's school, he specially changed into a black robe, which was brand new and had no money...

For a moment, Fu Changxi really felt the feeling of being a heroic man with a penny - he was a dignified regent, sitting in the northern Xinjiang, but at this time he didn't even have the money to buy a river lamp for his own students, he could say it out. Shame to death.

Fu Changxi didn't answer, just pursed his thin lips.

Seeing his expression, Zhen Tingyun immediately guessed it, but he was even more happy, the corners of his mouth could not help raising, and he smiled: "Don't worry, sir, I am a female student of the Kyoto Women's School, and the price of buying a river lantern will be much cheaper. I Although there is not much money here, it is enough to buy one or two river lanterns."

Hearing her say this, Fu Changxi almost wanted to call out the dark guard who was hiding in the dark to ask for money.

It's a pity that Zhen Tingyun was in high spirits, and while pulling him to the place where he bought the river lanterns by the lake, he continued: "I usually collect things from my husband, but today I can finally buy them for my husband. I have some things, and I have done my best." Even a single river lantern is very good for her.

Fu Changxi really didn't want to ask her to spend money for himself, but Zhen Tingyun was so excited that he couldn't beat him for a while, so he had to go with her.

Although the lake in the back garden of the Kyoto Women's School is not big, it is not small. Because today is the Qixi Festival, there are many stalls selling river lanterns by the lake. The shapes are different, or the poems are mentioned on the top, or the inscriptions are drawn on the top, in short, it is all kinds of strange.

Zhen Tingyun stopped beside a stall, so he had to squat down and choose carefully.

Fu Changxi hurriedly stopped her: "You still have injuries on your feet, so don't bother. If you like that, just tell me, and I'll show it to you."

After speaking, he took the initiative to squat down and carefully looked at the different styles of river lanterns on the booth.

Zhen Tingyun stood beside him, and when he lowered his head, he could see Fu Changxi's jade crown and his long jet-black hair. For some reason, she couldn't help laughing. After laughing, she casually pointed to the lotus-shaped river lantern on the booth: "Then show me the lotus-shaped one."

Fu Changxi nodded, reached out and handed the river lantern to her.

When Zhen Tingyun took the light, his fingertips moved and somehow touched the back of Fu Changxi's hand. For a while, his fingertips seemed to be scalded, numb and itchy.

She managed to hold the river lamp in her arms, but she felt that the fingertips that had just touched the back of the opponent's hand were still hot, and the fingers were connected to the heart. .

She bit her lip, endured the panic in her chest, and looked down at the lotus-shaped river lantern in her hand.

I saw that the whole river lantern looked like a lotus flower, and the paper petals on the side were all dyed red, from the light red at the tip of the petals to the deep red at the heart of the lotus, from light to dark, which was especially special. At the lotus stamen, there is a small candle, which illuminates the whole river lantern slightly, and even the paper petals dyed red on the edge are bright red.

The most difficult thing is that there are poems written on this river lantern.

Zhen Tingyun settled down to look at it, but saw two poems written on the river lantern—

"Lower your head and play with the lotus seeds, the lotus seeds are as clear as water.

Putting it in the sleeves of the lotus arms, the lotus heart is completely red. "

The lotus seeds are as clear as water.

Pity is like water.

Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but gently rubbed the dried ink on the river lantern with his fingertips, and said subconsciously, "I want this one."

Instead, Fu Changxi was a little puzzled: "Don't pick?"

He was still squatting there, not getting up yet, when he looked back, he raised his head slightly, his eyes were bright, and his thin lips were still pursed.

And behind him is the lake with the river lanterns floating, and the countless river lanterns large and small on the small stall.

When the lights were on and off, Zhen Tingyun could clearly see his long, hidden eyebrows, the bridge of his straight and straight nose, and the lips that were as thin as a knife. His eyes were as deep as deep pools, but at this moment, he looked up, only Zhen Tingyun was in his dark pupils.

He's really good-looking, really, really good-looking. Especially when he frowned and pursed his lips to look at her seriously,

Zhen Tingyun held the lotus lantern in both hands, and suddenly heard his own heartbeat. She hurriedly turned her head, avoiding Fu Changxi's gaze in a panic, and said subconsciously, "Well, I won't pick it."

After a pause, she bit her lip and said solemnly and seriously, "I just like this one."

Seeing that she really liked this one, Fu Changxi didn't say much, and wanted to get up.

Zhen Tingyun quickly held his shoulder and said, "Sir, can you pick one too? Let's put the river lantern together."

Fu Changxi couldn't help but fall into a deep struggle: it is naturally good for the two to set the river lantern together. But he didn't have any money, did he really want Zhen Tingyun to buy him a river lantern? It's too embarrassing...

However, as soon as Fu Changxi raised his head, he could see Zhen Tingyun's bright eyes, and she looked at him with such bright eyes.

Fu Changxi let out a long sigh, and had to lower his head again, stirring up a river lantern in the booth.

Because Zhen Tingyun first picked a lotus lantern, Fu Changxi also wanted to pick a fancy one, but he was used to seeing good things. The river lanterns in this booth were really inconspicuous. Take a peony-like up.

Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect you to like peony, sir!"

Fu Changxi raised his hand and flicked her forehead, and then explained, "I don't like these, so this is for you."

Zhen Tingyun didn't say a word, she glanced at Fu Changxi silently, silently took out the money from her arms, and silently gave the money to the stall owner as money to buy lamps.

Fu Changxi: "..."

Fu Changxi couldn't help falling into silence.

Seeing this, Zhen Tingyun felt happy. Holding the lotus lamp in one hand and the peony lamp in the other, he walked forward triumphantly, just about to set off the lamp.

It's just that the sprain on her foot hasn't healed, and she limps when she walks.

Fu Changxi didn't care about being silent either, he stepped up quickly, held her arm, and said to her, "Don't walk too fast, what if you fall down?" After saying that, he took the lotus lantern and said, "I Hold it for you—you have something in both hands, and you can't hold it when you fall."

Zhen Tingyun hummed: "I'm not a fool, how could I fall."

Fu Changxi asked back, "Then how did you get it twisted?"

Zhen Tingyun: "...I won't tell you." After speaking, she took the peony lantern that Fu Changxi gave her to her, looked at it carefully, but saw that there were also two sentences written on the peony lantern. poetry

"Three springs cherish the peony, half leaning on the red fence when it is about to bloom.

There is no flower in the world that is better than this, and the world is more expensive and suitable. "

Seeing her looking down at the verse on the lamp, Fu Changxi was also a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to explain: "This river lamp looks ordinary, I think the above sentence 'There are no flowers in the world are better than this, the world is more expensive and more suitable' is quite good. , I thought of buying it for you."

Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but rubbed his fingertips on it for a while, then smiled and nodded: "Then, I will thank Mr. Ji Yan."

After a pause, Zhen Tingyun seemed to remember something again, and said softly: "Then I will put this peony lamp, sir, you put the lotus lamp."

Fu Changxi had no objection to this and nodded.

The two said it was good, each holding a lamp and holding hands to the lake.

At this time, the lake was already crowded, and many teenagers and girls were joking and setting off lights. The lake, which has always been empty, is full of large and small river lanterns. From a distance, it seems that stars have fallen into the lake, the lake is full of lights, and the lake is full of light.

Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but said, "It's the first time I've ever celebrated the Qixi Festival."

Fu Changxi was silent for a moment before saying, "Me too."

Zhen Tingyun was originally just a momentary sigh, but at this time he was startled when he heard the words. He turned to look at Fu Changxi, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: she grew up in her hometown in the countryside since she was a child, and she was only surrounded by a grandmother like Mrs. Zhen. Reading, no one in the village cares about the Qixi Festival, and it is not very rare that the Qixi Festival has not been observed before. But Fu Changxi is much older than her, and obviously he has a lot of experience. He has never celebrated the Qixi Festival, which is a bit strange.

Together with these doubts, Zhen Tingyun suddenly remembered his earlier doubts about Fu Changxi, and almost asked out of his mouth. Fortunately, she was still holding the lamp in her hand. The peony lamp was light, but there was still some weight on her hand, which made her restrain herself, barely suppressing the doubts in her heart, and then smiled sideways with the other party. Said: "Then we can be considered to spend the Tanabata with each other... um, why don't we put the lights on first?"

At the same time, Zhen Tingyun said to himself in his heart: It's rare to have such a good atmosphere, so don't ask these questions first, and it's not too late to ask after the lights are out.

Fu Changxi nodded slightly. He squatted down by the lake first, holding the lamp base of the lotus lamp in his hand, and slowly placed it on the lake.

There was a ripple on the lake, sparkling, reflecting a little fire.

Fu Changxi stared at the lotus lantern, then stretched out his hand and gently poked it on the lake, seeing the lotus lantern tremblingly drifting toward the center of the lake with the water waves, slowly blending into the lights that filled the lake... …

Then, he retracted his gaze and stretched out his hand towards Zhen Tingyun: "You still have injuries on your feet, so it's not good to squat down. Let me put your lamp on for you, right?"

Zhen Tingyun just ignored him and hummed, "It doesn't matter if you just squat."

How can you find someone else to help you put the river lanterns?

Saying that, Zhen Tingyun squatted down on his own, and also imitated Fu Changxi's appearance. He held the peony lamp with his hand and placed it on the lake. The peony lamp floated out.

Seeing the lamp drifting away, Zhen Tingyun smiled just now, but then he seemed to remember something, frowned fiercely, and said in surprise, "Ah, I forgot Qionghua, and my cousin and the others! They I just went to buy a lamp, and now I must have been looking for me and the prince..."

As a result, the Prince of Yan was called away by his own uncle, the Regent.

Zhen Tingyun was kidnapped by his husband. It wasn't until the river lanterns were put out that he thought of the rest of the people slowly, and was very ashamed for a while: "They must be in a hurry."

************

In fact, Zhen Tingyun was right, Pei Rusong and others were indeed looking for them, but not all in a hurry.

At least Rong Ziming and Yang Qionghua are not in a hurry.

However, they panicked.

Especially when they remembered what they saw when they were looking for someone, they were so panicked that they wanted to jump into the lake to wake up their mushy minds.

As a result, the two panicked people just bumped into each other, and they could see that the other party's face was wrong.

So, Rong Ziming and Yang Qionghua went up to the side, back to back, hiding behind the willow tree—

"you saw it?"

"You saw it too?"

"The Prince Regent came to my house before, and I just saw it. I was a little suspicious just now if I was wrong. But you look like this..."

"...It's over, I'll call her Sister Zhen."

He actually wanted to flirt with others, but when he turned around, he found that they had come together with his uncle. By the way, do you want to call "auntie" when you meet in the future?

"...It's over, it's over, I never thought of it before, and laugh at her that she won't be able to get on the list this time."

Even if she dreamed, she never thought that Zhen Tingyun would be able to come together with the Prince Regent. Moreover, these two people are still talking and laughing to buy river lanterns and set off river lanterns?

"I'm a little flustered."

"Me too."

The two said a few pills to each other, panicked each other for a while, and soon comforted each other and calmed down again, thinking of another person who urgently needed their rescue——

"Forget it, let's just leave them alone. Go and fool Big Brother Pei first." Rong Ziming took the initiative.

"Alright." Yang Qionghua was also worried that Pei Rusong would bump into him without knowing anything, so he nodded and agreed, "Let's go to Big Brother Pei first."

After a pause, Yang Qionghua seemed to remember something again, and asked Rong Ziming next to him in a low voice, "You said, what about the prince and others?"

Rong Ziming: "...Who knows."

Anyway, my uncle would never sink his nephew into the lake.

However, who knows...

The author has something to say: Fu Changxi: I never imagined that one day I would eat soft rice!Tang He came out and was beaten!

Tang He:  …
