Chapter 41 A Man Has No Good Thing

In the next few days, Li Jingyun was surprised to find that Yin Huayue never talked to him again, and she never made any mistakes. She did everything carefully and properly for breakfast, lunch, dressing and tea.

He said he wanted to go out, so she went to prepare the car, he said that he wanted to meet the guests, she prepared refreshments and led them back far away.

Inexplicably, Li Jingyun felt that something was not right.

When he went to bed at night, he pulled her back, looked up at her drooping eyelids, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the son." Hua Yue said respectfully, "The slave and the maid went to sleep on the couch next to it, and it has been tidied up."

"Why?" He was slightly annoyed, "I didn't say I wanted to change places to sleep before."

Hua Yue smiled gently, and explained to him patiently: "The weather is hot, and it's hard for slaves to squeeze the son to sleep. Besides, sleeping on a bed is no different from sleeping on a couch. From an outsider's point of view, They all slept together."

Her attitude was so sincere that he seemed to be looking for trouble if he said another word.

Li Jingyun was not very comfortable, but there seemed to be nothing he could do. She gently took his hand away. He squinted and saw that she was carrying the quilt to spread it on the small couch, and then blew out the candlestick on the table.

It was dark in the room, and they both lay down.

Li Jingyun stared at the bed tent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Tomorrow is the fifth prince's birthday. His Royal Highness will hold a banquet for him outside the palace. You can come with me."

The fifth prince, Zhou Hemin, his uncle was the prime minister of the dynasty, but his mother and concubine were locked up in the cold palace. The sage was not very fond of him, but the prince was very close to him because of the recent abolition of the directorate, and even held a birthday banquet by himself.

Huayue half-closed her eyes, her eyes filled with the moonlight pouring in from the window, bright and deep. She was like a god who walked away for a moment, and then replied softly: "Yes."

Turning his head to the outside, Li Jingyun looked at the shadow on the couch: "You don't want to pay attention to the Lord?"

"Young master is too worried." She said with a slight smile in her voice, "If you have any questions, the servants will answer, but why do you start if you don't want to answer them?"

"Then why are you..." He wanted to say that she had been indifferent for the past two days, but after thinking about it carefully, she was doing what she should do every day, not avoiding him, nor deliberately not talking to him.

Swallowing the words back, Li Jingyun muttered to himself that he had become sensitive and suspicious. He felt that Han Shuang only likes to play the drama of others neglecting him. He is a big man, so there is no need.

"Forget it, go to sleep." Li Jingyun rolled over and closed her eyes, thinking about taking this person to meet the world tomorrow, if she was happy, maybe it would be normal.

The surroundings returned to silence again, and Huayue also turned over and looked at the shadow of the flowers on the windowsill, which was illuminated by the moonlight.

Clearly extinguished, like the pattern on the edge of the four-clawed cloud dragon robe.

The fifth prince's birthday banquet was held in a secret villa in Jinghua, and the banquet was attended by dignitaries and young ladies in the court. In order to be close to his cousin, the prince specially wore his four-clawed cloud dragon robe and stood in the courtyard to greet the guests in person.

"Jing Yun, you came just in time." Seeing them from a distance, Zhou Heshuo waved, "Bengong is going to the backyard, come and greet these adults."

What he said had no deep meaning. He described Li Jingyun as "my own person" in two words and three words. The dignitaries present laughed when they heard it, but Li Jingyun didn't refute it. He just turned his head and said to her: "Go to the flower hall for tea. ."

In this scene, it was inappropriate for a woman to stand beside her. Huayue obeyed obediently, and followed the servant to the direction of the flower hall.

In the flower hall, all the ladies and wives are sitting. When they come to this banquet, most of them are dressed in red and Dai Cui. Yin Huayue's concubine's red and Luo skirt attracts attention from all directions when she enters the door.

Probably didn't expect someone to bring the concubine's room to this place. Several ladies held their handkerchiefs and pressed the corners of their mouths. The expression was unclear, and the straighter lady laughed outright.

"Whose house is this?" Someone pointed to her and asked, "Did you bring it to the wrong place?"

There was inexplicable laughter in the hall, and Mrs. Han looked at her, her eyes piercingly cold: "Don't dare to say that this is the third son of the Li family who has a good heart. For her, the marriage contract is no longer needed. Straighten up, what kind of skirt can't you wear?"

When the ladies who were close to him heard it, they were indignant: "I don't think I'm an immortal, but I'm nothing. The third son is good in everything, but he doesn't have a good eye for people."

"Yeah, you see, this is unruly, and it can't be on the stage at all. It can't compare to Miss Guimen's knowledge and courtesy."

The wind direction is certain, and the hall will be ridiculed and ridiculed. Everyone is a group of people who live together. No one wants to say a few words and be pulled out, so when the coaxing starts, they are even more open-mouthed. The broken goods of the child and the self-recommended pillow seat have all been said.

As he spoke, he also looked at the face of the man at the door, trying to see how she reacted.

In the end, she saw that she didn't hear it, took a sip of the tea handed by the next person, looked at them without any waves, and raised her chin to signal them to continue talking, as if she didn't hear enough.

"..." Mrs. Han choked, staring at her resentfully, and several ladies beside her frowned.

The hall gradually quieted down, Hua Yue thought it was funny, she put down the tea cup and wanted to ask why they didn't continue to talk, but suddenly a person appeared in the crowd, dragged her and walked out.

He subconsciously wanted to break free, but the man's hand was soft and gentle, and he gently squeezed her fingertips.

Hua Yue was stunned, looked up and saw a very demure face.

"Come with me." She smiled at her, "I won't hurt you."

Xu Shi's aura was too friendly, Hua Yue gave up her resistance and followed her all the way to the small garden.

This garden is exquisitely built, with rockery and waterfalls, and the fragrance of birds and flowers. The lady in front of her sat on the edge of the rockery and smiled at her. Although her facial features were not as delicate as the lady next to her, she had a reassuring charm.

"I'm the young lady of the Xu family." Her voice was soft, like a fine silk satin, and she looked up with a pair of phoenix eyes, full of kindness, "Chang Yi mentioned you to me."

Xu Changyi's wife?

Hua Yue blinked, and a certain scene quickly flashed through her mind.

- I've seen very little in the world, and it's not like you two. You have a beautiful wife and you are used to seeing beauty, so it's not easy to bow your head.

-Third Master, they are all brothers, don't talk to your heart's content, is the one from my family beautiful?

Xu Changyi's painful appearance at that time was probably referring to the lady in front of him.

Huayue greeted her and felt that Xu Gongzi was a little unaware of the blessings in her life. Although his wife was not a beauty, she was not without beauty.

"Don't take it to heart." Ming Shu helped her up and patted her on the back lightly, "The people in that room don't have any good words to say, so you won't be favored."

Looking at her gratefully, Hua Yue nodded: "Thank you madam."

"You don't have to call me Madam, just call me Mingshu." She asked with a smile, "What should I call you?"

"Yin's Flower Moon."

"Then it's called Huayue." She touched the cuffs and pulled out a piece of peanut cake and put it in her hand, "This is my favorite food, made by the wet nurse in the house, can you try it?"

Feeling inexplicably better, Hua Yue took a bite and smiled at her: "Xiang."

Seeing that she finally smiled, Ming Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief: "Today is a good weather. If you are unhappy, you will lose this spring. You are beautiful when you are born, and you look even better when you smile."

As she spoke, she squinted to see the sunlight on the treetops, the corners of her eyes wrinkled slightly.

Only then did Hua Yue notice that she seems to be older than the Xu family son, and most of the wives of other families are three or four years younger than their husbands-in-law, and they look tender, but she seems to have passed two decades. The innocence of a girl is gone.

"Mrs. Xu." Someone called from a distance.

Mingshu returned to her senses, got up with a smile, and said, "I'll go take a look."

Hua Yue nodded and turned sideways to make way for her.

Half of the peanut cake was spit out in her mouth, and Hua Yue looked down at the rest in her hand, feeling a pity. She is very wary and won't eat people or food at will, but Mingshu is a good girl and she has no malice.

After thinking about it, Huayue took out the handkerchief, wrapped the peanut cake and put it in her arms.

"You." A voice suddenly came from behind the rockery, as clear as the wind in his arms, "If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away. What do you eat half and hide half?"

Hua Yue was startled, she took two steps back and looked at her cautiously: "Who?"

The robe dressed in the moon white embroidered mountains and rivers rolled out, and the boy with red lips and white teeth looked at her with curiosity between his brows.

There are a lot of nobles in this courtyard, and suddenly one appeared. Huayue didn't know who she was. The best way was to go first and act as if nothing happened.

However, as soon as she lifted her foot, the young man seemed to know what she was thinking, he turned sideways to block her way, and looked down at her seriously: "What are you hiding?"

Taking a deep breath, Huayue said obediently: "Greetings to you, the little girl has some urgent matters. I wonder if I can take a step?"

The young man raised his eyebrows, obviously disdain for her excuse, but he was very well-bred, and he stopped to make way for her.

Huayue buried her head and left.

There were people chatting everywhere in the garden. After walking for a long time, she finally found an empty pavilion and sat down. As soon as she settled down, a person sat down next to her.

"Your urgent business is to sit here?" The young man looked left and right, "Don't you want to deal with people?"

With a light sigh, Hua Yue looked at him puzzled: "There are so many people here, why are you embarrassing me?"

The young man laughed and waved his hand: "I'm not trying to embarrass you, or I'm tired of watching the walking dead in this yard and think you're more interesting."

interesting? Hua Yue frowned, thinking that this life is Zhou Zheng, why is her brain broken, she is not familiar with him, where does she find it interesting?

"Why is your surname still Yin?" The young man looked at her sideways, "Don't want to change it?"

Yin was the surname of the previous dynasty, from the royal family to the people of Limin. The Yin family was prosperous, but after the Great Wei destroyed the country, most of the people who were still living in the noble family changed their surnames to avoid suspicion. , Right now, she can generously say that she is a member of the Yin family, and she may be the only one.

Hua Yue responded casually: "The surname given by my parents is not easy to change."

"Then why aren't you welcome?" His eyes fell on her concubine-colored skirt, "Just because you are a concubine? But isn't the concubine's more favored in this place?"

The blue veins on her forehead jumped, she gritted her back molars and said, "Since you know that the little girl is someone else's concubine, you don't know how to avoid it. How can a man talk so much with a boudoir?"

The young man was stunned for a while, and said "Ah" blankly, then smiled: "I'm used to it, no one cares anyway."

The arrogance makes people feel ashamed.

Huayue was so happy that she couldn't hide from her left or right, so she simply said to him: "I am a dog slave who ruined the good things of others, and climbed the master's bed and flew on the branches in the middle of the night. How can I be welcomed by people with such behavior? It's better to stay away, if anyone sees it, you might be soaked in the pig cage with me."

Startled by her remarks, the boy opened his mouth wide, and Qing Jun's eyes widened, looking like two quail eggs.

One couldn't hold back, Hua Yue laughed out loud, her brows and eyes twitched, and her shoulders shook.

Zhou Hemin had never seen such a girl before. When he was angry, his thin eyebrows stood upright, and he almost wrote his impatience on his face. Yes, smart and lovely.

Inexplicably, he also followed her to laugh, laughing with two pointed little tiger teeth.

Seeing him laugh, she laughed even more, and scolded him while laughing: "What are you laughing at!"

He smiled back: "Then what are you laughing at?"

Isn't this stupid? Hua Yue couldn't breathe with laughter, she shook her head, she thought she was as smart as Zhou and Shuo, and the guests she invited must be smart people.

The two of them smiled at Sanzhuxiang.

After the three-pillar incense, someone came here, the boy glanced at it, and leaped over the wall with an almost convulsive laughter. Hua Yue stayed where she was, covering her lower abdomen, feeling her face almost stiff.

"This lady." Several servants asked her anxiously, "Have you ever seen a man in a moon-white robe?"

Caressing her heart, she took two breaths, Huayue stopped smiling, she pointed her finger at the direction the young man had left, and said mercilessly: "I see, I just turned over from here, you both are chasing, hurry up, Someone must be caught."

The servant saluted her gratefully, and immediately outflanked her to arrest her.

Yin Zhangshi, who was deeply hidden and famous, elegantly adjusted the hem of his skirt, slowly pressed back the flushing from the smile on his face, and then returned to the flower hall with the time.

As soon as Li Jingyun finished talking to the person, he turned his head and saw a familiar head buried behind a pillar in the corridor.

He groaned slightly, walked over and flicked her forehead: "I didn't tell you to go to the flower hall, why did you come here again?"

Pain on her forehead, Hua Yue took a half step back and bowed her knees respectfully: "Reporting to the young master, this servant is here to find Mrs. Mingshu."

"Ming Shu?" Li Jingyun thought for a moment, then suddenly, "Chang Yi's wife, what are you doing with her?"

"Young master, she is the only one who can say a few words with the servants in this courtyard."

His eyes moved slightly, and he pursed his lips displeasedly: "Someone troubled you?"

"Master Hui, no." She shook her head gently, "With the protection of the son, no one will treat the slaves."

Waving his hands impatiently, Li Jingyun said, "Can you stop being so hard when you say something, what are you going to say back to the son, back to the son, how did you mess with the old man before, don't you remember?"

Tilt her head to recall a or two, Hua Yue smiled softly: "Reporting to the son, that is too presumptuous, and naturally it must be changed."

Helplessly slumped his shoulders, he said deflatedly: "Master doesn't blame you, don't take this attitude to Master, let's just follow the way we looked at the mountain before, can we do it?"

Huayue looked at him inexplicably.

Li Jingyun pulled her to a corner where no one was on the side, and whispered against her forehead: "Master spoils you, don't poke your heart, when today's banquet is over, Master will buy you some snacks from Jing'an Tang, okay?"

There was a lot of people outside, but this corner was extraordinarily quiet, and she could clearly hear her heartbeat, pounding after another, as if she was jumping in his arms.

Li Jingyun softened his heart, pinched the back of her hand and pecked, and said with a chuckle, "If you don't speak, just take it as if you agreed."

It is not to speak, nor is it to not speak, Hua Yue simply remained silent, letting him hold her half.

It has to be said that the third master still has his own way of coaxing people. No matter how many bastards he has said, as long as he lowers his body and speaks softly, who is an ordinary girl who can't immediately cry a grievance in his arms?

Hua Yue also wanted to learn from ordinary girls, but this time she couldn't cry, and pinching her thighs was useless.

Fortunately, someone outside came to him soon: "Third Master? Where are you, Third Young Master?"

Li Jingyun let go of his hand, cursed in a low voice, and said, "Go find Mingshu, and you can feel more at ease with her."

"Yes." Hua Yue responded and watched him go around the stone wall.

Before the meal time, tea was being drunk everywhere. There was only two pots of tea in a courtyard in the west. The servants who delivered the tea were too busy to touch the ground. Several silver pots were piled up at the entrance of the courtyard, and the two maids never stopped. Brewing fresh tea and pouring it into it.

Huayue passed by and asked with a smile, "Have you seen Mrs. Mingshu?"

The two maids said without raising their heads, "I didn't see it."

Nodding clearly, Huayue continued to look forward, her sleeve robe brushed over the open silver pot, bringing a breeze.

The servant who delivered the tea ran over, picked up the freshly filled teapot, and hurried to the west courtyard.

Han Tianyong was discussing matters with Situ Feng, a servant under the prince's command, in the West Courtyard. The two had different positions, but they had some friendship, so they could still sit and drink tea.

"Xue Ji is gone, the commander of the guards always has to promote individuals." Han Tianyong said, "Who else is more suitable than the next?"

Situ Feng laughed and said, "Tian Yong, are you really confused or pretend to be confused? How could His Highness give you the Han family for such an errand as the imperial guard commander?"

"I'm not the same as Han Shuang."

"But both of you are surnamed Han, and both of you are receiving the New Year's gift from the eldest princess." Situ Feng poured tea for him, shaking his head with a smile, "Don't think about it, right now, His Royal Highness and the eldest princess are in your life and death. Driving you out of the guard camp is already a thin face for the Han family."

Han Tian never reluctantly picked up the tea, respected him, and then drank it together.

When the birthday banquet officially started, Hua Yue accompanied Ming Shu to eat in the small courtyard in the south. After Ming Shu took two sips of wine, she became more talkative.

"When Chang Yi mentioned you to me, he said that the third master doted on you very much." She took Hua Yue's hand and asked with bright eyes, "How does he dote on you?"

Hua Yue was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "However you can spoil it, just give it to Yinzihua."

With an envious look in her eyes, Ming Shu clicked her tongue twice and sipped another half glass of wine.

"Is Xu Gongzi bad for you?" Huayue also asked her following the principle of courtesy and respect.

Mingshu smiled satisfactorily: "He... is fine too."

They were three people sitting on a long table, Hua Yue was sitting in the middle, and before she had time to praise Xu Changyi, she heard the person sitting on the other side say, "What's so good?"

Turning her head in surprise, Hua Yue saw a young woman wearing a long skirt with a red bottom and a black border, with sharp eyebrows and dark red lips.

She looked past her and looked at Mingshu, and said angrily, "I haven't had sex for more than a month, but I can still applaud. If he's divorced tomorrow, you have to give him a plaque of 'Entong Reconstruction' to hang in the Xu family ancestral hall. "

Hua Yue was shocked by her cool words and forgot to look back for a while.

The young woman looked at her and pursed her red lips: "I am the wife of the Liu family, and I am acquainted with Mingshu. Don't get me wrong."

The Liu family... Liu Chenghe's wife? Hua Yue bowed her head to greet her, thinking that this temper is quite interesting.

Mingshu was a little drunk, and she didn't return her mouth. She just smiled and took her hand and introduced her: "She's called Chaofeng, and she never shows mercy when she speaks. Don't get caught by her."

Chao Feng looked at her with disgust and waved her hand to let the maid come over to help her down to rest.

Hua Yue wanted to help, but she pulled her back: "Just let her take a break by herself."

"Mrs. Chaofeng and Mrs. Mingshu have known each other for a long time?" Hua Yue couldn't help but ask.

Chaofeng waved his hand: "You can just call your girlfriend's name. It's tiring to add a wife."

After a pause, he added: "I and her are also considered handkerchiefs. That person grew up with Xu Changyi when he was a child. Xu Changyi said he wanted to marry her when he was five years old, but later, it dragged her on until she was two decades old. It took half an old girl to carry it in the door reluctantly."

Huayue was stunned.

Whether it is Dawei or Daliang, the girl's family usually gets married when she is sixteen, and when she is nineteen, she will be gossiped before her in-law's family. How much grievance does Mingshu suffer?

"She..." Looking around, Hua Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Why didn't she just look for another husband's house?"

Chao Feng paused, looking at her with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by his hatred for Ming Shu: "She is a stubborn person, they gave her a peanut when she was five years old. Crisp, she can remember fifteen years. At that time, the Xu family was not yet developed, and they couldn't keep up with her family background. Later, people became so successful, and I didn't see much thanks to her. "

Hua Yue sighed and shook her head slightly.

Chaofeng took her hand and said, "I see that you are an exquisite person, and I will tell you something straight. One of them is not a good thing. You can give three of them while you are young.Grandpa gives birth to a child, and then lives in fine clothes and jade, as for what kind of love and love, don't think about it."

I didn't even think about it.

Hua Yue lowered her eyes, glanced at the sky from the corner of her eye, and then looked at the door of the yard.

The servants came and went in a hurry, and there were people everywhere, even if there were a few more of them, no one would notice.

Looking back, she smiled Ying Chaofeng: "I understand."

Chaofeng nodded in relief, but he was about to say more, but he heard a crisp sound from somewhere outside, followed by the sharp screams of slaves, resounding through half of the villa.
