Chapter 66

Thinking of Pei Rusong, who was still ignorant at this time, both Yang Qionghua and Rong Ziming regained a little courage. The two hurriedly had a conversation, and they pulled out Pei Rusong, who was wandering around the lake looking for someone.

Pei Rusong was a little suspicious of their words: "Have you found someone?"

Rong Ziming, who had already had a good word with Yang Qionghua, hurriedly stepped forward and responded actively: "I found it. Cousin, he has returned to the palace beforehand, Tingyun, um, she was a little tired and went back to rest first, and specifically asked me and Qionghua to go back to the palace. Come and talk to you."

Pei Rusong has always been thoughtful and is not someone who is easy to fool. Hearing this, he became suspicious: "Tingyun has always been thoughtful, why did he leave without telling me?"

This question... didn't know the words beforehand!

Rong Ziming didn't hold back and looked up at Yang Qionghua.

Yang Qionghua was born in a family of military generals, and he has the style of a general. Even when Pei Rusong asked him straight, she did not panic, but replied with a normal expression: "Tingyun has a sprained foot, so I will let it go. She went back first, otherwise it would be bad if she walked back and forth like this, and the foot injury would worsen. Anyway, we are not outsiders, so we don't have to be so polite and care about these false courtesy. "

Only after hearing the words did Pei Rusong believe it, nodded and asked with concern, "Is the foot injury serious?"

"Fortunately, I can still walk after looking at it." Yang Qionghua just relied on a breath in her chest, and she just made up her words, "I will ask her to go back and apply the medicine, and she will be healed after thinking about it for a night."

Pei Rusong nodded slightly, as if he believed it.

Rong Ziming looked at Yang Qionghua with admiration: "..." Mom, although I know that pretty girls can deceive people the most, she really doesn't change her face when she deceives people! awesome!

In this way, Rong Ziming and Yang Qionghua, after some good talk, finally sent Pei Rusong away.

However, the breath on their chests still didn't let go, because they had to pick someone to talk to Zhen Tingyun - otherwise, if they left like this, Zhen Tingyun would definitely not be relieved, saying might have to go back and find them...

Although Rong Ziming has always loved beauties and treated the girls very gently, he was just shocked, and at this time, he naturally lost his thoughts of Lianxiangxiyu. Therefore, he had no sympathy, and pushed the matter to Yang Qionghua: "It's better for you to go, my uncle probably doesn't remember you, so you just pretend that you haven't seen him, and just use words to fool the matter. Anyway, You are Tingyun's friend, and my uncle will never sink you into the lake..."

"Shen Hu?" Yang Qionghua caught the keyword and looked at Rong Ziming with a strange look, "How did you come up with this?"

Rong Ziming couldn't hold his face, and forcibly defended: "You control me!"

Yang Qionghua felt that the Prince Regent was even more dangerous - look, even his nephew thought he might take someone to Shenhu...

Therefore, Yang Qionghua couldn't just agree to die. He simply took the dice out of his sleeve and said, "Forget it, let's bet luck. Whoever throws a smaller number will go."

Rong Ziming: "...No, you are a girl, how can you make up lies and play dice?"

Yang Qionghua ignored his nonsense, first weighed the dice in his hand, then stretched out his hand and threw it on the ground, exactly throwing a four.

Then it was Rong's turn to be self-evident.

Under Yang Qionghua's coercive gaze, Rong Ziming had to lean over to pick up the dice, while muttering: "Big Brother Pei was still pretending when he was here, but now I'm the only one left..."

Hearing his broken thoughts, Yang Qionghua couldn't help sneering, raised his chin, glanced at him lightly, and said with contempt and disdain: "What qualifications do you have to compare with Big Brother Pei - do you have a family's charm? Can you? Can you write good poems like him?"

Because Yang Qionghua was born petite and sweet, she raised her chin to look at people at this time. Not only did she fail to show condescending contempt, on the contrary, she looked like a child imitating an adult, adding a bit of cuteness and making people laugh.

"Don't think I can't see you standing on tiptoe secretly." Rong Ziming laughed and threw the dice, humming in his mouth, "Brother Pei will definitely not like you if you are so different in appearance... Ah! I It's six o'clock! Hahaha, you go!"

Yang Qionghua gritted his teeth and stared at Rong Ziming with his fists clenched.

Rong Ziming looked at her fist, which was not as big as a steamed bun, and was a little scared for some reason. He whispered forcefully: "You said that whoever throws a small number of points will go."

Yang Qionghua had no choice but to scolded in his heart, "It's a fool to be a fool." Then he put away the dice angrily, and walked towards the direction where he saw Zhen Tingyun just now. After all, it wasn't a random search without any direction. Yang Qionghua had a general orientation in his heart and walked around looking for someone, but he quickly found Zhen Tingyun who was looking for someone in a hurry.

Of course, there was also Fu Changxi, who was standing beside Zhen Tingyun, raising his hand to help her walk.

Yang Qionghua took a deep breath and did not dare to look at Fu Changxi. He stepped forward and smiled with Zhen Tingyun, calling out, "Tingyun."

Seeing her at this time, Zhen Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy, and said quickly, "I was looking for you. You didn't go to buy river lanterns, why did you disappear as soon as you turned around?"

After a pause, thinking of the Prince Yan who left early, Zhen Tingyun explained an extra sentence, "The Prince Regent has something to discuss with the Prince, so he sent someone to look for him, so he left first."

How smart Yang Qionghua is, when he heard her words, he immediately understood: the prince regent himself is still here, but Zhen Tingyun didn't even look at the other party when he said this, obviously he didn't know the identity of the other party; Here, they specially sent someone to invite the prince of Prince Yan away... Either, the prince regent didn't want anyone to reveal his identity in front of Zhen Tingyun; or, the prince regent felt that the prince was an eyesore, so he tried to get rid of him— - No matter what the reason is, she certainly cannot break the words of the regent.

Thinking of this, Yang Qionghua was sweating on her forehead, but she just pretended she didn't know the identity of the regent, and smiled and talked to Zhen Tingyun: "That's really a coincidence! Rong Shizi also has something to do, so Pei The elder brother went back with him first, and when they left, Tete asked me to come over and talk to you."

Speaking of which, she paused for a moment, and tried to ask Zhen Tingyun in a calm tone: "Then, who is this?" Although she didn't dare to read more, she didn't ask, and she could only ask a random question first. on.

Zhen Tingyun heard this, and felt a little hot on his face again. He glanced at Fu Changxi subconsciously. Seeing that the other party had no objection, he introduced: "This is my husband, surname Yuan and Minghui."

Yang Qionghua bowed and said, "Mr. Yuan." In my heart, I wanted to grab Zhen Tingyun, a silly girl, and shake her by the shoulders - Idiot, don't you know that the Prince Regent has a dark character?

However, Zhen Tingyun, a silly girl from the countryside, really didn't know about it, and she foolishly introduced Yang Qionghua to Fu Changxi: "This is Yang Qionghua, I met her when I was taking the women's school entrance examination, and now we are still in the same class. study."

Fu Changxi nodded, as if he remembered something, stared at Yang Qionghua, and suddenly asked, "Your surname is Yang? What is the relationship between Yang Huaikang, Admiral of the Nine Sects, and you?"

"It's my father." Yang Qionghua responded respectfully.

Fu Changxi nodded slightly and glanced at her again: Admiral of the Nine Sects is a very important position. The late emperor passed over the Zheng family and gave this position to Yang Huaikang, apparently wanting to give his only son an extra guarantee, which can be seen from this. The late emperor had great faith in Yang Huaikang.

Therefore, Fu Changxi took one more look and added an additional sentence: "You are not very similar to your father."

Yang Qionghua: "...Yes."

Her father was eight feet long and had a strong physique. But her daughter was born petite, she would tremble when riding a horse, and her legs would be weak when dismounting. Sometimes, people say that she doesn't look like a girl from the Yang family, so the Prince Regent can guess her father's identity at a glance, which is really extraordinary and very powerful.

In fact, Fu Changxi's words did not only refer to his appearance. But he didn't mean to say more, looked at the sky and left and right, and said to Zhen Tingyun in a warm voice: "Since they have all gone back, it's not early now, you still have injuries on your feet, it's not good to move more, I Take you home first?"

Zhen Tingyun nodded and looked at Yang Qionghua again.

Yang Qionghua took the initiative to say: "Alright, it's getting late. I should go back. Since your husband is here, I don't have to worry. Then, I'll go first?"

Zhen Tingyun nodded. Due to the interruption of Yang Qionghua and Pei Rusong, she forgot to ask about Fu Changxi's identity. She just told the other party where she lived now, and the two walked back together.

However, halfway through, saw a firework blooming in the corner of the sky, and most of the sky was reflected in red.

For a time, the rustling voices in the crowd were also suppressed, and everyone looked up at the sky, all sounds were silent, and the four places were quiet.

Zhen Tingyun was also infected by this atmosphere, raised his head and stared at the fireworks in the sky with wide eyes.

After a while, many people reacted and rushed to the direction of the fireworks. Many people could still be heard smiling and greeting relatives and friends: "Look, someone set off fireworks... Let's go and see!"

The crowd was surging and bustling, and Zhen Tingyun, who was only crowded, was about to fall.

Fu Changxi couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her to the side and said, "What's so beautiful about this, it's crowded, don't fall down again." After a pause, he comforted Zhen Tingyun again, "If you like it, I'll ask someone to show it to you next time—just one for you."

Zhen Tingyun just stared at the fireworks in the sky with bright eyes.

The fireworks unfolded one after another, illuminating a corner of the sky. At this moment, the night sky was as bright as day, illuminating half of the lake.

Zhen Tingyun looked up at the sky, and his snow-white cheeks seemed to be brightened by the fire. I saw her bright eyes with light, like it was the first time a child saw something he liked, and he couldn't help but say, "I've never seen this before."

Seeing her look like this, Fu Changxi suddenly couldn't speak anymore and said, "You're limping like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to squeeze through. Or..."

Or I will carry you over.

Before these words could be said, Fu Changxi had already woken up - the relationship between men and women is not close, especially their relationship, now it's a little too long to help Zhen Tingyun because of the injury on his foot. Going further, I'm afraid it will be a little overstepped and abrupt.

Therefore, Fu Changxi responded very quickly and turned his mouth, "Or, let's go to the lake to find a small boat, and take the boat to go by water."

This is a good idea, but Zhen Tingyun still wants to say: "I heard that there are a lot of people on the lake today, are there still boats?"

Fu Changxi's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was firm: "Don't worry, there will be."

Of course, Fu Changxi's inner thoughts were: Tang He sent him here before and gave him a robe to change, but he forgot to prepare money for him, so that he even had to take Zhen Tingyun for the money to buy the lamp. It is already planned that when go back, will reward Tang He Shi's board. If this is not even prepared for the boat to swim in the lake, hehe, will round up a whole number for him when go back, and reward him with twenty boards - so that he knows what it means to be unable to get out of bed in pain.

However, Zhen Tingyun still wanted to poke Fu Changxi's wound again at this time: "Then, I'll give you the money for the charter first? ... Is ten taels enough?"

Hearing this, Fu Changxi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but add five more boards to Tang He in his heart.

After a while, he regained his senses and said, "No need, I'll go take a look first. Maybe there is no money to rent a boat... You wait here for a while, don't wander around. I'll be back when I go."

After all, as if afraid that Zhen Tingyun would give him money again, he walked away.

Seeing Fu Changxi's appearance, Zhen Tingyun felt amused: her husband threw gold for her when they first met, and then gave her a jade flute and an ancient painting, so generous... As a result, it was her turn She was going to give him money, but he was embarrassed.

Zhen Tingyun thought for a while, and suddenly felt that Fu Changxi's stern face was also a little cute. So, she stood alone, thinking about her husband, and smiled secretly.

At the same time, Fu Changxi, who was considered by Zhen Tingyun to be cute, had a cold face, called the dark guard to come forward, and asked directly, "Are you ready to ship?"

"Yes, it's ready." The dark guard responded quickly, told the location of the boat that Tang He had previously ordered, and handed Fu Changxi the certificate from the chartered boat, "His Royal Highness, this is the number plate for chartering the boat."

Fu Changxi took the number plate, pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Isn't he the one who created these fireworks?"

The dark guard hurriedly shook his head and replied respectfully, "I don't know."

Fu Changxi was about to wave his hand to tell him to go down, when suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked, "Have you brought any money?"

Dark Guard: "..."

So, in less than a quarter of an hour, Fu Changxi turned back with the silver, and explained in his mouth, "I just turned over and found that I still have some money on me. I rented a boat, and I just had some left over."

Not being able to continue to spend money on Fu Changxi, Zhen Tingyun was still a little sad seeing his cute reaction. However, she was brought up by Mrs. Zhen, and she was very stingy. She soon enjoyed the happiness of saving money again, and then asked Fu Changxi: "Sir, how much does it cost to rent a boat?"

Fu Changxi: "...I forgot, that's all that's left." He simply handed over the few taels of silver he asked for from the dark guard, and added, "You keep it, just treat it as the previous one. River lantern money."

Zhen Tingyun was amused by him, so he had to accept the money, thinking in his heart that his husband didn't ask for the price of chartering the boat.

Fu Changxi sighed for himself in his heart: He only gave Tang Heji fifteen boards, which is really too few.

The two of them each thought about their own affairs, and soon reached the place where the boat was tied.

Fu Changxi took the number plate and came out, facing the boat. Only then did he untie the ropes that tied the boat, and the two got on the boat together.

Compared with the crowded crowds on the shore of the lake, the lake surface is obviously much cleaner. Although there are some small boats and boats, on this huge lake, large and small boats are scattered sporadically, and there are many distances from each other. .

The fireworks are still on the horizon, one after another, extremely gorgeous, illuminating the night sky brightly, and even the bright and charming light is reflected on the water surface, and the water waves have gentle ripples, like the look back of a beauty.

Zhen Tingyun and Fu Changxi sat side by side on the bow of the boat, sometimes looking at the sky, sometimes looking down at the river lights floating on the lake. Fragrant. Zhen Tingyun suddenly felt that the first Qixi Festival in her life was really good and very good, if only it could be so good in the future...

Thinking about it, she couldn't help lowering her head and gently hooked on the water with her fingertips.

With her fingertips around the cool lake water, the water waves rippled, and she heard her thin voice: "Sir, what I said to you last time, or else you should forget it."

"What?" Fu Changxi didn't react for a while, frowning as he recalled what she said.

Zhen Tingyun didn't speak anymore - when she talked to Fu Changxi about the various conditions for choosing her husband in the future, she had no distractions, and she naturally said it with confidence, but at this time, she wanted to take it back, but she felt unreasonable and unreasonable. , don't know where to start.

Seeing that she was just bowing her head and not making a sound, Fu Changxi thought about it for a long time without success, so he changed the subject and told her about the troubles that had troubled him for many days: "What you said to me before, I've thought about it these days, or I feel a little rushed."

"Ah?" This time it was Zhen Tingyun's turn to be stunned.

Seeing her blank expression, Fu Changxi explained patiently, "Your statements are too broad. If you really want to follow those lines to find someone, I still don't know who you can find."

Speaking of which, Fu Changxi's mind had been on Fu Changxi's mind for a long time, and it almost became a concern. In addition, he happened to see Zhen Tingyun and Fu Nianjia getting along with each other today, so he felt that he should say a few more words. So that Zhen Tingyun went the wrong way: "That's what you said to me before - 'The first thing to look at is the appearance and character, but you don't have to pick any young talents, as long as you look good and pleasing to the eye, that's what matters. The main thing is to have a good character; second, the family is clean and honest, if the population is simple, and there are no concubines and concubines, it will be better.' After thinking about it, I still feel that the marriage is not a joke, and it should not be ignored. , you should also think about it carefully."

"That's what you said." Before Zhen Tingyun could fully react, he asked subconsciously, "Is there a problem?"

"How could there be no problem?!" Seeing Zhen Tingyun's cheeks dizzy, Fu Changxi's heart became even more angry, which made him speak quickly, and before he could react, he said, "With such conditions, even me Can get it, not to mention others."

Before the words fell, the two people on the boat were silent.

Zhen Tingyun: "..."

Fu Changxi: "..."

The needles fell silently on the boat for a while, as if there was only the sound of fireworks blooming in the sky.

After waiting until the fireworks stopped on the horizon, Fu Changxi rowed a boat to send Zhen Tingyun back to the shore, and helped her back to her residence, but neither of them knew how to speak.

When Zhen Tingyun was sent away, Fu Changxi's good face was completely gone.

After thinking about it all the way, until he came out of the gate of the women's school, he just received those chaotic thoughts and looked up.

The carriage of the palace was still parked where it was, and the guards on the left and right were bowing and waiting.

There is no need for others to serve, Fu Changxi walked forward, lifted the curtain of the car with the same expression, took a look inside, and saw Rong Ziming sitting in the car as expected - this unfortunate nephew should have been arrested just after he left the door. People "please" get in the car.

Rong Ziming's face was a little stiff, but he still pulled his sweet voice and called out like a spoiled child, "Uncle."

"Well." Fu Changxi sat down beside him, glanced at him, and asked very reasonable, "Do you want to go back to the palace with me, or go directly to the Duke Rong's residence?"

Rong Ziming was very knowledgeable, and immediately replied: "I've been harassing my uncle's house for many days, I'm afraid my family will miss it very much, so let's go back and have a look."

"Alright." Fu Changxi nodded slightly, as if he had remembered something, and reminded him, "What should be said and what should not be said, you should understand, right?"

Rong Ziming nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and then quietly looked at Fu Changxi's face again. Seeing that his uncle had nothing to say, he quietly stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car and said tentatively, "Then, I'll go. already?"

Fu Changxi didn't answer.

Rong Ziming just took it as his acquiescence, and hurriedly opened the curtain and got out of the car.

This time, no one really stopped him. Rong Ziming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he had escaped death, and he was overjoyed. He hurriedly got into his carriage and went directly back to Rongguo Gongfu. Although there was a princess at home who urged the marriage, at least it was safe.

Fu Changxi rested in the carriage and called Tang He up to ask, "What's wrong with Tingyun's foot injury?"

Tang He had to briefly talk about the Liu family, and by the way, he also talked about the great help that Prince Yan played in it.

Fu Changxi raised his hand to rest on his forehead, and pondered for a while: "Although it was an accident, there is also the reason that the dark guards are not strong. You can change someone else."

Although it was an accident that the Liu family child threw the ball indiscriminately, and because of Fu Nianjia, Zhen Tingyun didn't have an accident, and he accidentally twisted his foot. But logically speaking, this kind of accident shouldn't have happened - you know, Fu Changxi wouldn't have this kind of accident around him.

Tang He nodded in response.

Hearing Fu Changxi pondering, "As for the Liu family..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Tang He felt in his heart that the Liu family was unlucky - first offended the Prince of Yan, and then offended the regent, and there was no way to survive.

After a pause, Fu Changxi asked, "Is Nian Jia still waiting in the palace?"

"Yes." Tang He nodded in response, "Without His Highness's order, the people below would not dare to ask the prince to leave like this."

Thinking that he had to go back to deal with his nephew who had been waiting for him for half the night, Fu Changxi sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his frowning brows, and had another headache—seriously, the next generation in the Fu family , Fu Nianjia can be a leader, and even more than a small emperor in the palace in terms of aptitude and talent. That's why it's even harder to fool.

However, even if it was a headache, Fu Changxi didn't forget the board he wrote down for Tang He: "For tonight's matter, you remember to go back and get the fifteen boards, and you should have a long memory."

Tang He was stunned when he heard the words, but he reacted immediately, and replied with a bitter face: "Yes, this subordinate understands." He is so good!

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

At this time, Zhen Tingyun was sitting on his couch and applying medicine to his sprained ankle.

Du Qingqing did not participate in the Qixi Garden Party today. She took advantage of the girls' school holiday to go home and enjoyed the warmth of her family. Because she was going to class tomorrow, she didn't rush back until evening, carrying all kinds of snacks prepared for her at home.

As a result, as soon as she came back, she found that her roommate's foot was injured, but she couldn't help with this, so she had to move a chair and sit on the side to watch. He asked, "How did you get hurt like this?"

"It was crowded. I accidentally stumbled on something on the foot and twisted it." Zhen Tingyun's ankle was not very heavy at first, but she was dragging her sprained foot tonight. After walking around for a long distance, I didn't feel anything at the time, only felt a little pain in my feet. But at this time, she calmed down and looked again. Her ankle was already swollen, and it was almost impossible to see the original shape. It was painful to poke it with her fingertips. Zhen Tingyun had no choice but to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find some anti-swelling medicine, thinking about taking the medicine first, lying down for one night today, resting well, maybe tomorrow will be fine.

Du Qingqing looked really worried and said, "Why don't you go to the female doctor to prescribe some medicine? You are swollen like a bun, can you still get out of bed tomorrow?"

Zhen Tingyun always felt that Du Qingqing's words sounded strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Therefore, she could only shake her head as if nothing had happened: "It's alright."

Without waiting for Du Qingqing to persuade, she asked Du Qingqing again: "You said, a person told you 'such conditions, even I can get it, not to mention others', what does this mean?"

"Ah?" Du Qingqing was stunned for a while, then blinked his eyes, not quite understanding why the topic changed so quickly. However, after thinking about it carefully, she still said, "You have to talk before and after contact to find out, right?"

Zhen Tingyun applied the good medicine, put down the plaster in his hand, and sighed with his cheeks on his back: "Yeah..."

Du Qingqing waited patiently for a while, and found that Zhen Tingyun was really gone in the middle of the story, so he got up and comforted: "Then sit down, I'll get you some hot water, at least you have to wipe it. Good sleep."

Zhen Tingyun hurriedly nodded his thanks, only then did he realize the benefits of living together.
