Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 340 Women’s private conversations
He led the girls through the middle courtyard and then into the inner courtyard. There was another burst of exclamation, and even Zhuang Fei'er could not close her mouth.
Zhuang Feier stared at it for a while: "Sister Yuqing, your inner courtyard is too beautiful. How can the scenery in the outer courtyard compare with this one? It is simply a fairyland on earth."
Yue Qing leaned on the flower gallery and looked at her with a smile: "I told you, how can it be compared to fairyland."
Zhuang Feier turned to look at her: "This is not a fairyland yet, and there is no place in the palace that is as beautiful as this."
Shi Mi said strangely: "Also, sister Yuqing, how can your courtyard be so bright without candles? What are these glowing things?"
Zhuang Feier walked to the flower gallery and touched the rope woven with flowing silk, which contained small luminous beads: "Sister Mi'er, these are night-light pearls."
Shi Mi was startled: "Night Pearl? This is a rare thing. Not many people in the capital have this thing."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "Yes, you can only see some in the palace. But, sister Yuqing, you have them hanging everywhere in your courtyard. And this flowing silk thread is as precious as this night pearl, and it is everywhere in the palace." You may not be able to see it. You actually hang it on the veranda like this?"
Yue Qing asked curiously: "What is the flowing silk?"
Zhuang Feier said: "It is a kind of silk spun by fire silkworms that only live in extremely hot places. It is also called fire silk, because the silk spun by fire silkworms is extremely beautiful and absorbs sunlight to emit colorful colors. Celebrity light silk. This fire silkworm is as rare as the ice silkworm in the extremely cold place. That thing is not something that can be seen everywhere, and not everyone can enter that extremely hot place.
This streamer silk is a priceless treasure. It's a big deal to get a bunch of it, not to mention that you actually use it as a woven decoration for the veranda outside the courtyard. Oh my God, this verandah is so long and winding. How many luminous pearls and streamers need to be hung on it? Silk? "
Everyone was shocked.
Yue Qing said: "Oh, is this silk thread so valuable? Sister Fei'er, you are really well-informed. You know all this kind of thing. I thought it was just a common thing. It's really beautiful."
Zhuang Feier's face was a little angry for some reason: "You, your life here is really too extravagant. The pillars of this verandah are also made of precious wood, which is not only strong and beautiful, but also disperses fragrance and repels insects. These The nets that support the climbing of these flowers and plants are all decorated with small and exquisite colorful jade beads. Hum, I came to your place today and I don’t want to go back to my yard."
Yue Qing was stunned for a moment: "Hey, are you angry?"
Zhuang Feier said: "I'm not angry, I'm envious of you. Hey, this is also the princess, and the difference between us is too big."
Yue Qing blinked, not knowing what to say.
Shi Ying said: "Oh, sister Fei'er, forget about you as the princess, even if you are a princess, you don't get this kind of treatment. The reason why sister Yuqing gets this kind of treatment is because of the Villa, it's useless for you to envy her. "
Zhuang Fei'er looked at Yue Qing angrily with her big watery eyes and said, "Humph, I don't care, you have to give me something excellent, otherwise, I will never pay attention to you again."
Yue Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she continued: "Not only am I ignoring you, Shi Ying, you are also not allowed to ignore her."
Yue Qing said: "Sister Fei'er, you are a bit overbearing. Shi Ying is the first good friend I met in Li country. If you want her to ignore me, I will be angry too."
Zhuang Feier said: "Shi Ying and you have just met, but she and I have known each other for a long time. If you want to be her good friend, you must also be my good friend. Good friends should give some satisfactory gifts to each other." Gifts are also appropriate."
Yue Qing was a little overwhelmed by her words: "It should be, but you..."
Zhuang Feier quickly stepped forward and took her hand: "Then we have agreed that you must give me a very good gift."
Yue Qing looked at her. "Hmph, actually I said at the table just now that I would give it to everyone I met for the first time today."
"Then what are you going to give me?"
"Why don't you tell me what you like? How about this flowing silk?"
Zhuang Fei'er said: "Of course Liu Guangsi is fine, but I always feel that you are a bit casual. Let's say it first. I will be your friend, which will be of great benefit to you."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Oh? What's the benefit?"
Zhuang Feier said: "If I think correctly, you should want to get to know more noble ladies in the capital, right? Although I am only a princess, I am very popular in the capital. I can help you."
Yue Qing suddenly realized: "Oh."
Shi Ying said: "Sister Fei'er is right. She is a very talented woman, one of the two ladies in the capital. No poetry club, flower club, or polo club can do without her."
Yue Qing glanced at Zhuang Feier again: "I've just seen it, but this character is a bit..."
Shi Ying said: "Sister Fei'er does have a bit of a temperament, but that's why we are so good friends. Sister Fei'er is someone who will put everything on the record, she is frank and honest, and she is very good to her friends. ."
Yue Qing nodded: "Who is the other Shuangshu?"
Zhuang Feier said: "Her, it's not that she is bad, but that person is extremely arrogant. You will know it when you meet her."
Yue Qing nodded and said: "Well, I understand after hearing what you said. Since Sister Fei'er wants to be my friend, then I shouldn't be too petty. Let's do it this way. Since you like this flowing silk, I will let you make it." How about a pair of exquisite bracelets for you?"
"wristband?"
"Yes, it will be made into a very beautiful style, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Zhuang Feier smiled and said: "The style must be good-looking. The villa is very famous in jewelry production. The jewelry in Xibao City is a rare and rare piece in the world. Okay, I want this one." It’s ringing, which is really exciting.”
Mrs. Shi said: "Princess Shun'an is really extraordinary. She gave away such a precious Liuguang silk as soon as she said it would be given away."
Yue Qing looked at her: "Not only does she have gifts, you all have gifts. I wonder if any of you like them?"
Cheng Jingjing said: "As long as it's from sister Yuqing, it's fine. I'm not like someone who rushes to ask for a gift."
Shi Mi covered his mouth and smiled.
Zhuang Fei'er angrily went up to twist her waist, but Cheng Jingjing hurriedly knocked her hand away.
"Why don't you let me talk to you? Thanks to Yu Qing's good temper, if I just throw you out of the door."
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Shi said: "Jingjing is right, whatever the princess can give is good, I won't choose."
Yue Qing said: "Okay, I'll take care of it myself. Let's go and walk around inside."
He led the girls to continue walking inside. Because of what happened just now, everyone got closer.
As they talked, they talked about marriage.
Yue Qing sat on the lounge chair in the courtyard and sighed: "Shi Hu's rough character can actually win a wife as beautiful as Mrs. Shi."
Mrs. Shi covered her mouth in embarrassment and said, "The princess has such a sweet mouth."
Yue Qing said: "I'm not being sweet. Let everyone talk about it. You and Shi Hu are like Beauty and the Beast when they stand together. Madam looks so young and beautiful, but Shi Hu looks so rough. Madam is Why did you fall in love with him?"
All the girls were also sitting in the courtyard. There were many benches and stone benches for resting in the courtyard, placed high and low inside and outside the pavilion.
Cheng Jingjing heard her describe it like this and smiled: "Yu Qing's description is really interesting, but it is indeed very appropriate."
Mrs. Shi said: "You actually agree with her point of view. How can you describe your husband as a beast? I don't agree with this."
Yue Qing said: "Oh, I was just making an analogy."
Mrs. Shi glared at her.
Yue Qing smiled and asked curiously: "Didn't I say that each person can bring two family members? Shi Hu brought his sister and his wife, why did Shi Rong, Dingyuan Marquis and King Bowei only bring one sister? You didn’t bring anyone else with you? Where is your wife?”
Mrs. Shi asked: "Where did they get this lady from? She's not even married yet?"
Yue Qing said in surprise: "They are not married yet? Do men in Li country all marry late? I think they are quite young, right?"
Mrs. Shi said sadly: "Yes, she is not young anymore. We can't control King Bowei's marriage, so the palace has to make the decision. But Shi Rong is different. This boy has made our Shi family very worried." "
Yue Qing said: "What? Doesn't he have a crush on the girl?"
Shi Mi blushed and said, "Sister Yuqing is really bold in what she says. How can you say this?"
Yue Qing asked strangely: "What can't be said? Isn't it normal for a man to marry a woman?"
Shi Mi said: "Isn't that something that our daughter's family should discuss before she leaves the court?"
Yueqing laughed.
Yu Xin said: "Sister Shi Mi, don't be offended. My sister grew up in a villa and she doesn't know how to avoid these things. She has said bolder things than this."
Shi Mi looked at Yue Qing, covered his mouth and smiled.
Yue Qing said: "You are serious, there is nothing you can't say. Besides, here are all women, and the men are in the outer courtyard. They are so far away, even if they are listening, they can't hear what is said here."
Cheng Jingjing looked at Chang Yuxiao and Chang Shen who were standing not far away: "Aren't they men?"
Yue Qing looked at the two people: "Don't worry about them, they are all my people, and they will not tell others what we talked about. Don't be too hard on yourselves. You can't talk about it outside. You have to be careful when saying some private things."
Zhuang Feier covered her mouth and smiled: "I can see that Yuqing also has an out-of-touch temperament, and she is unruly at first glance."
Shi Ying said: "Yes, when we were at my house, she suddenly said that she wanted to go to the school field. My brother and King Bowei did not agree. She actually asked her guards to fight against King Bowei and others to make herself happy. But I I was shocked. I thought to myself, there is actually such a woman in this world, she is a more powerful character than you."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "I did hear about what happened on the school grounds, but I didn't expect that this would cause a scene in Shi Mansion."
Shi Ying said: "No, it's a good thing it happened on the school grounds. If it were placed in Shi's mansion, our house would have to invite a lot of doctors to come today."
The girls laughed again.
Zhuang Feier said: "But, speaking of it, why are there men in sister Yuqing's courtyard?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions on their faces. Yue Qing showed no change. Cai'er San Zhuwei, who was standing aside, was not very happy. Mrs. Shi, Shi Mi, and Cheng Jingjing looked a little embarrassed.
The expressions of Yu Xin and Yu Ting changed the most. After all, they knew that when Yue Qing was in the palace, there were men in the courtyard. It would not be a good thing if Zhuang Fei'er said this.
Shi Ying pushed Zhuang Feier: "Why do you ask this?"
Zhuang Fei'er said: "What's more, I'm just curious, but there is no other meaning. Sister Yuqing, didn't you just say that others don't know if we talk about some private things? I'm really curious, is it true that most people in the villa are not aware of it? Is such that?"
Yue Qing smiled: "Actually, there's nothing I can't say."
Cai'er's eyes were a little anxious and she wanted to step forward to give some advice, but Chang Ge's matter came first, and she was also worried that Yue Qing would be unhappy. When she was worried, Qing'er secretly pulled her. Cai'er turned around to look, and Qing'er gave her a comforting look.
Cai'er calmed down and thought that although Yueqing had an unstable temperament, she had never done anything detrimental to the Villa.
Just listen to Yue Qing say: "In fact, a large part of the reason why I moved from the palace is that the customs in the Villa are different from those in the Li Country. Our Villa is not like the Li Country. Women can only stay in the backyard, but they can also run around. of."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "I have heard about this. I heard that there are many women from the Villa doing business in Beijing, and their ability is not inferior to that of the men. But I heard that most of these women are from the Yue clan among the five clans in the Villa. Man, Sister Yuqing should not be from the Yue family."
Shi Mi asked curiously: "What are the five clans of Villa?"
Zhuang Feier patiently explained: "There are five major clans in the villa. I heard that each clan is very powerful."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Sister Fei'er knows our villa quite well."
Zhuang Feier said: "Of course, I am a talented woman. Didn't you just say that I am well-informed? I usually like to make friends and read some interesting essays. I don't say I know much about the Villa, but I think I know a little more than most people.”
Cheng Jingjing said: "Then please tell me quickly, what are the five major clans in this villa?"
Everyone looked over curiously, and Yue Qing also looked at her. This was the first time she had heard information about the villa from an outsider, and she was still a woman who never left home.
Zhuang Feier said: "Everyone talks about how good and powerful the Villa is, but very few people have actually been there. They are very mysterious, but the Villa has a long history, and there will still be some news about it. What I just said The five major clans of the Villa refer to the five major families that support the Villa, and one of them should be one that most of you have come into contact with, and that is the Yue family."
Shi Mi: "Yue family?"
"Yes, the Yue family. The Yue family is a businessman. They are good at doing business, both men and women, old and young, and their business abilities are also very strong. I think you have all heard of Yue Chi, the head of the Yue family."
Shi Ying said: "I have heard that his influence in Li Jing is not inferior to that of Prime Minister Qin."
Zhuang Feier nodded: "Indeed, he has a strong influence in Li Country. It can be said that a decision can affect the lifeline of Li Country. For example, our usual food and clothing expenses may be bought from Yue's shop. . Especially in the houses of high-ranking officials and nobles, most of the rare things are made by the Yue family."
Shi Mi said: "Oh my god, it's so powerful. I only heard that the head of the Yue family is very powerful, but I didn't expect that their family can actually affect the national destiny of Li country."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "It's not just the Li country, it's the same in other countries as well."
Everyone was surprised.
Cheng Jingjing asked: "What about the other four families?"
Zhuang Feier said: "The other four clans are not as well-known to the world as the Yue family, but there is still some information about the Chang clan and the Mo clan among them. Let's talk about the Mo clan first. The Mo clan is very powerful in literature. Although he doesn't often appear outside, I heard that there are many great scholars in the clan who would definitely be rulers if they were born. The person sitting next to Sister Yuqing at the banquet today should be from the Mo family, what do you think of him?"
Shi Mi said: "How can we stare at a man, but when we see his behavior, it is indeed extraordinary."
Shi Ying said: "I have heard from my brother that this Mo family is very talented and beautiful. I have also seen this Mo Xue several times. He is really handsome. When he was in our house, His Highness the Crown Prince was also very fond of him." Treat him with courtesy and respect as if he were facing a teacher."
Zhuang Feier nodded: "Yes, and speaking of the Chang family, although I don't know much about it, I have heard that the women of the Chang family are extremely noble. Haven't you heard of the Chang family's noble daughter?"
The girls shook their heads.
Zhuang Feier said helplessly: "Don't forget, Princess Yongjing is the noble daughter of the Chang family. The reason why the current Holy Emperor attaches so much importance to Prince Yongjing's Mansion is precisely because of Princess Yongjing."
Cheng Jingjing said: "I do know that the reason why King Yongjing has his current status is because of this princess."
After speaking, he looked at Yuxin and Yuting next to him, and quickly said: "Oh, I didn't mean to offend."
Yu Xin said unnaturally: "It's okay, sister Jingjing, don't take it to heart. Our Prince Yongjing's Palace has heard a lot of rumors from outside, and we have long been used to it."
Cheng Jingjing was a little embarrassed.
Yue Qing said: "Sister, that was in the past, but it will be different in the future. If you hear someone spreading this again, don't be polite, just fight back. Now we have sister Fei'er to support us."
Zhuang Fei'er smiled and said, "You girl, you haven't given me this gift yet, so you're taking advantage of me first."
Yue Qing said: "You didn't say that. Being friends with you has many benefits."
Zhuang Fei'er rolled her eyes at her, "Okay, okay. I said it. If anyone says bad things about you again in the future, I will definitely scold them for you."
Yue Qing quickly clasped her fists and said, "Thank you so much for my good friend."
The girls laughed.
Yu Xin and Yu Ting also had relieved expressions on their faces and became more integrated into this small group.
Shi Mi said: "Sister Fei'er hasn't finished speaking yet, go on. We know about Chang's noble daughter, what else is there?"
Zhuang Feier said: "That's all, I don't know the rest."
Cheng Jingjing said: "Aren't there five major clans in the villa? You just mentioned three clans. Are there two more clans?"
Zhuang Feier shook his head: "I really don't know, I haven't even heard of his last name."
Shi Mi was surprised: "So mysterious."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "It's so mysterious. Why don't you, Yuqing, tell us about it? You are from the Villa yourself, so tell us about the things in the Villa."
Yue Qing smiled: "That's not possible. There are many things going on in our villa, and there are also many strict rules. The other two families are much simpler than the three you just mentioned, but they are the most vicious. If I tell you here You guys, I might get you into trouble. But if you want to know some interesting things about the villa, I can tell you. But it’s too late today, so I don’t know how long this lecture will last. There will be plenty of time to chat later."
Zhuang Fei'er was disappointed, but not angry: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it. It doesn't matter. The villa is mysterious, so there must be a reason for not telling outsiders."
Yue Qing nodded and asked: "I'm a little curious, why do you say I must be from the Chang family? Why can't I be from the Yue family? Or the Mo family?"
Zhuang Fei'er looked at her as if she were an idiot and said: "Princess Yongjing is a noble daughter of the Chang family. Of course you are also a member of the Chang family. Moreover, the noble daughter of the Chang family must not be able to walk around like the Yue family, so you I just said that women in the villa can walk around, but I don’t believe it.”
"Isn't my mother also in Li country?"
Zhuang Feier said: "That's a special case. I have never heard of a second Chang family woman outside. Oh, there is still you now."
Yue Qing understood.
Just listen to Zhuang Feier say: "Although I don't know why the Chang family's women can't go out, but I know other things."
Yueqing was curious: "What's going on?"
Zhuang Feier said: "As I said just now, I have many friends, some of whom are from the Jianghu. The rumors of the villa are not only in Li Jing, but also in the Jianghu, and they are about the Chang family."
Cai'er frowned.
Yue Qing asked: "What rumors?"
Zhuang Feier said mysteriously: "When I was chatting with my friend, I heard her say that the ladies of the Chang family of the Villa are special existences in the world. Many forces want them, even some demonic forces. They Even the arrest of the Chang family's noble daughter is the most important canon, and there are rumors that whoever gets the Chang family's noble daughter will win the world. Although some decent forces will not do this, there are also some who are interested in this. However, the Chang family's Women don’t go out casually, how can they be so good.”
Yue Qing was surprised. This was the first time she heard that such a thing happened.
Yu Xin was frightened and said: "Arrest? How to arrest?"
Zhuang Feier said: "I don't know about this. I just heard my friend say this and I didn't ask her in detail at the time."
Yuxin said: "Oh my God, this is terrible."
Everyone looked at Yue Qing.
Yue Qing looked strange: "What's wrong?"
Yuting asked: "Second sister, aren't you afraid?"
Yue Qing smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? If you want to catch me, you have to have this ability to overcome all obstacles and enter this courtyard. Besides, I am in Li Jingli now, and those Jianghu forces dare to stand at the feet of the emperor. There’s no such thing as chaos.”
Shi Ying said: "No wonder there are so many people around you wherever you go. It would be better for you to go out less often in the future."
Yue Qing said angrily: "How can I guard against thieves every day? Just because someone wants to arrest me, I can't even leave the door, let alone something I only heard about. If I hear someone wants to poison me another day, I will Just don’t eat or drink water.”
Shi Ying thought for a while: "That's true, what you said makes some sense."
Cheng Jingjing said: "You have courage. Sister Yuqing is really courageous."
Yue Qing smiled and asked: "Sister Fei'er, why do you want to know about the Villa so much? Is it not just out of curiosity?"
Zhuang Feier was stunned for a moment, her face looked a little unnatural, and she was even a little blushing. She said coyly: "Many people want to know about the Villa. Of course I am curious."
Yue Qing was amused in her heart: "Look at your face turning red. Could it be for someone? You don't go out often in your boudoir, so knowing this won't have much effect on you. I'm sure you are so careful. For the sake of others, tell me if you have a sweetheart."
Zhuang Feier was startled and hit her with a fan: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't have a sweetheart." As he said this, his face turned redder and his eyes were a little uneasy.
"Hey, look at you, no matter how big the deal is, the people in our villa won't be so awkward. If I like someone, I will definitely tell him boldly."
Shi Ying smiled and said, "You tell people boldly, what if they don't like you?"
Yue Qing said with a smile: "If I like someone and tell him, and then he doesn't like me, I guess he will be severely punished by the people in the villa. However, I won't do that myself. If I don't like it, I won't like it." Well, he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. How can I hang myself from a tree?"
Shi Mi chuckled: "Then which tree should you hang yourself on?"
Yue Qing said: "Of course I need to look for a few more trees. Whichever tree looks comfortable, hang it up and try it."
Zhuang Fei'er said: "The customs of this villa are indeed bold, but where can I find a husband who can be hanged?"
Yue Qing said: "You don't know this. There is a saying in our villa that women have two lives, one starts from birth and the other starts from marriage. Once a woman gets married, she enters another life. The previous self has passed away, and is a life that will never come back. It is not dead. And finding a husband is like finding a tree. Your new life must take root here. So when it comes to finding a husband, Just finding a tree to end your last life is not like hanging yourself."
The girls laughed.
Zhuang Fei'er laughed so hard that tears came out: "So that's the case, it makes some sense."
Not far away, Chang Yuxiao was also savoring her words. Chang Shen whispered: "The concept of Miss's hometown is quite new."
Chang Yuxiao nodded.
Chang Shen continued: "It's just that it's a bit strange for these ideas to spread from the villa. The lady said that there are more and more customs in the villa. Mo Xue is going to have a headache again."
Chang Yuxiao said nothing.
Chang Shen said: "Speaking of headaches, Miss's performance today is what gives me the biggest headache. Did anything special happen to Xiao Lingwei in Miss's room?"
Chang Yuxiao turned to look at him: "What if I said, even if it happens, I won't tell you?"
Chang Shen sighed: "What danger could there be?"
"With me here, there can be no danger."
Chang Shen said: "After all, he is a spiritual guard, and his relationship with the spiritual master is always closer than mine. Some time ago, there was some resentment between the young lady and you, but now the trend has changed. It's a pity that as a deacon in the hospital, I , I still can’t get the lady to notice me.”
San Yuxiao said: "Deacon Shen has done a very good job."
Chang Shen said: "Now that the young lady has an idea in her mind, please remember Xiao Lingwei that no matter what happens, I, Chang Shen, will always be on the side of the hospital master. If anything happens, I can always be in the hands of the young lady." shield."
San Yuxiao said: "I understand."
The girls over there laughed and laughed for a while, and then returned to talking about marriage.
Yue Qing asked: "Don't just talk about our villa, what about you? What would Li Guo do if he had a sweetheart?"
The girls were silent.
Zhuang Feier sighed: "What else can be done? Our women in Li country are not so free, especially the noble ladies in the capital. Marriage is often not decided by oneself, not even by the parents. If you can It’s okay if you’re paired with someone who respects and protects you, but if you’re paired with someone who’s rough and cruel, your life will be very difficult.”
Shi Ying said: "It's better for us. Sister Fei'er's marriage must be decided by the palace. However, even we don't choose our own husband."
Yue Qing asked: "Sister Shi Ying, can't you do the same? I think you are quite free at home."
"My parents dote on me, and my brothers usually protect me, but they can't let me choose my husband. At most, I have some room to choose, and most of them have to be chosen by my parents first."
"Wouldn't that be bad? If everyone marries someone they don't like, how will they live their lives?"
Mrs. Shi said: "You can't say that. There are some who can satisfy your needs. Besides, when your daughter comes to her husband's house, she will naturally have to follow her husband's family's wishes. If you want to live a harmonious life, you must learn to be obedient and patient."
Shi Mi nodded obediently.
Shi Ying looked disapproving: "I don't want to. If I meet someone I like in the future, I will definitely tell my parents and brother and let them make the decision for me. Anyway, our Shi family is not a famous family. Wang clan, as long as the other party is not particularly bad, I think my parents won’t be too opposed to it.”
Yue Qing asked her: "You don't have anyone you can catch your eye yet?"
Shi Ying spat at her: "It's not that easy. We don't go out on weekdays. How could we meet anyone interesting just by staying in the backyard."
"Is there no way for both men and women to meet?"
Cheng Jingjing said: "Well, even in some football clubs, flower clubs, etc., men and women are seated separately. You can look at them from a distance. Sometimes you can't even see the features clearly."
Shi Ying said: "Yes, that is to say, if you are bolder, you dare to break into the school grounds to watch some hunting. Which of us girls would dare to do this?"
Yue Qing shook her head: "What should I do? I'm still thinking about finding a good marriage for my sisters? I can't even see this person. Where can I find him?"
Yu Xin immediately blushed and said angrily: "You girl, just tell me."
Yue Qing said: "What can't be said? Sister, you are not young anymore. You have to find a good family to marry. No, I have to find a way to let you meet more talents."
Zhuang Feier smiled and said: "How can you bring your sister and sister everywhere to see people like you? Don't worry. Although Prince Yongjing's Palace is also a palace, they are just concubines after all. It is much easier to find a match for marriage. "
"You can't match them casually. You have to find someone good and someone you like. My elder sister and younger sister are both very good girls. How can I be wronged."
Zhuang Fei'er only smiled and did not answer her words, but asked: "You, it's better not to worry about these things, just worry about you more. Your marriage will definitely not be decided by yourself, and it will definitely not be the case by then. The palace has issued a decree granting marriage, so you'd better choose one more for yourself, and then ask the emperor for the decree."
Yue Qing said: "Me? I'm not worried."
"Why not worry?"
"Our villa has our own ideas. If the emperor wants to arrange a marriage for me, he must first go through the villa. I will choose the person leisurely and contentedly on the side. When they have almost finished talking about it, I have also chosen the person. If the emperor If the Villa doesn't agree, I'll let the Villa convince him. If the Villa doesn't agree, I'll ask the Emperor to make the decision. If both sides don't agree, I'll let no one of them make the decision. Anyway, I am the noble daughter of the Chang family. , and I have to be taken seriously by the emperor, even if I do something outrageous, no one can really do anything to me."
Zhuang Fei'er rolled her eyes at her: "You said it lightly, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself when the time comes."
Yue Qing said: "Anyway, that's what I'm thinking now. Isn't it too late? It won't be too late to wait until we actually meet him."
Zhuang Feier shook his head: "Oh, you are still free and easy."
He raised his head and glanced at the starry sky: "It's getting so late today, we don't want to keep talking."
Mrs. Shi said: "It is indeed very late. If we stay any longer, the officials should be worried."
Yue Qing looked at the sky: "Indeed, I'm really happy to meet you today. Unfortunately, the time is too short. Let's say goodbye today and get together again later."
Zhuang Feier said: "Okay, there will be a lot of time in the future, so don't forget the things you gave me."
Everyone stood up and prepared to leave. Yue Qing also stood up and said:
"Don't worry, your gifts will be delivered to my house one by one in the past two days. Shi Ying, you have done the most good today. Here, I will reward you with a bunch of grapes." After saying that, he picked up a bunch of grapes from the table and handed it to Shi Ying. in hand.
Shi Ying originally planned to refuse, as it would be like holding a bunch of grapes on the road, but Yue Qing scratched the back of her hand five times when handing it to her. He immediately changed his face and said, "Well, these grapes are rare. They are not common in our Li country. Thank you, sister Yuqing."
Yue Qing said: "There aren't any small boxes that can be packed here, and they don't look good in your hands. I do have some small boxes, but unfortunately they are all for decoration. Qing'er, go in and look for anything that can be used." A little box for stuff.”
Qing'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly went in and took out a box: "Miss, how can these grapes be put into the box like jewelry? They will break."
"It's okay, maybe I'll finish it before we get home." Then he put the grapes into a small box and handed them to her.
Shi Ying glanced at her and took the small box.
When the girls returned to the front yard, Shi Hu was already walking around anxiously at the gate.
I saw them coming out and complaining: "Oh, you've finally come out, why does it take so long to go around the garden?"
Yue Qing scolded: "Why are you so anxious? Can't we have fun chatting?"
"Princess Princess, you have to look at the time to have a happy chat. What time is it now?"
Zhuang Feier stepped forward and said: "Okay, let's go in and see the beautiful scenery in the inner courtyard, so we stayed a little longer. As we chatted, we felt it was too late to meet each other. If it hadn't been getting late, we would have stayed a little longer. Woolen cloth."
Yue Qing said: "That's right, the men in Li country are not as patient as the men in the Villa. In the Villa, it is natural for men to wait for women. Just like you, where can I find someone like Mrs. Shi in our Villa?" Such a good wife. Whoever sees her will dislike her."
Shihu stared.
Shi Rong smiled and said: "Princess, don't make fun of him anymore, he is also worried about you. We can't enter the inner courtyard, and the maids have not been brought in. You have been there for so long, so it is normal for Shi Hu to be worried."
Yue Qing looked at him: "Really, if there is anything to worry about in this courtyard, we have already taken care of it."
King Bowei came out of the pavilion and said: "Since we have finished chatting, let's take our leave first. We will have plenty of time to get together in the future, so I won't interrupt you today."
Marquis Dingyuan also came out: "Yes, I really enjoyed myself today. The delicious food here is really unforgettable. Hey, I don't know when I can eat it next time."
Yue Qing said: "Don't worry, I will make amends to you next time you are injured by me again."
Marquis Dingyuan waved his hand quickly: "Hey, don't say goodbye, but there won't be a next time."
Everyone laughed.
Yue Qing and everyone in the villa sent them out of the yard.
Yue Qing said: "I'll let someone send you off."
King Bowei said: "No need, we know the way. We are not weak enough to need escort."
"Okay, then be careful along the way."
King Bowei mounted his horse and saluted, saying: "Thank you very much, Princess, for inviting us today. We will continue the meeting another day. Farewell."
Yue Qing nodded.
After King Bowei said goodbye to Mo Xue and others, he led the team to leave the courtyard.
Mo Xue looked at their retreating figures, turned to Yue Qing and smiled: "Miss, you have worked hard today."
Yue Qing walked to the courtyard: "It's just a meal, why bother?"
"Mo Xue is worried that Miss will hurt herself if she works too hard. Today is a hunt and a banquet. She really doesn't stop for a moment."
"It's okay, I don't feel tired."
Mo Xue walked side by side with her, "That's good. Miss is actually much healthier than the two hospital masters, but it's better not to overwork yourself."
"I understand. Don't worry, if I get tired, I will rest."
"It's getting late. Miss, please go to bed early."
Yue Qing nodded and returned to her yard with Chang Yuxiao and Sanzhu Wei.
