Chapter 1363 669 Characters

"Concubine Shizi," Baihui quietly walked to Nangongyue's side, and whispered, "Master Shizi and Young Master are back and went to the prince's tent."

Nangong Yue nodded slightly to show her understanding, and calmly picked up the tea cup to hide the corners of her raised lips.

Mrs. An, who was sitting diagonally opposite Nangong Yue, was talking: "...I'm not boasting, my brother Rui is both civil and military, stable and careful. I specifically told him just now, this hunting competition Although it is important, it is about participation, and the most important thing is to protect the safety of the girls..." Especially the safety of Miss Xiao.

The more Mrs. An said, the more proud she became, thinking to herself: God really is on their side of Anjia, otherwise, how could so many people have their own brother Rui who got the lottery! This is fate!

Mrs. Chang on the side looked disdainful. This Mrs. An can talk. If she has to say it herself, it must be that her son, An Minrui, is not good at martial arts. But Mrs. An said it as if An Minrui was in this hunting competition. In the middle of nowhere, it was because he wanted to protect the big girl Xiao.

Taking advantage of Mrs. An's silence, Mrs. Chang subtly interjected: "Mrs. An, what you are saying is, just like my brother Xi going to the battlefield, it is not enough to just charge and take care of the comrades beside him. Comrade-in-arms, don't you think so?"

As she said that, she gave Mrs. An a flamboyant look. Her youngest son had been on the battlefield and had made military exploits. Brother Xi couldn't come today, but he mentioned Brother Xi a few times, and he could also "show his face" in front of the princess. Although this An family is a relative with Shizi, but after all, the relationship is far away, it is like his own brother Xi is under Shizi's command, and he knows the bottom line.

Mrs. An's face froze, she couldn't say what Mrs. Chang said was wrong, she could only answer.

Mrs. Chang was even more proud and continued: "It's good for young people to come out on top, but after all, there is a girl's family today, and the most important thing is that everyone is safe. They are young and energetic, and they still want us to be elders. Take more care."

How could Nangong Yue not know Mrs. Chang's careful thoughts, but she has a good impression of Chang Huaixi. The young man is a bit arrogant, but he is a careful and daring person.

Nangong Yue gave Mrs. Chang a warm smile and said, "Mrs. Chang, there is a saying that children and grandchildren will have their own children and grandchildren. The son-in-law told me that Linglang has made great progress in the army now, and Mrs. Chang can be said to be a good teacher."

Hearing what Nangong Yue said, Mrs. Chang stiffened her back and was satisfied. She just said, how can a relative like Shizi who has turned several corners compare to his own brother Xi.

Mrs. Chang subconsciously raised her voice: "Princess Shizi is really a prize..."

Her slightly ostentatious voice echoed in the breeze...

By the lake, everyone was laughing and laughing loudly; on the lake, it gradually became lively, and water birds swept across the lake from time to time, making waves.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed, the tea had been changed a few pots, and the ladies were still gossiping.

Thrush on the side looked at his master with admiration, and there was a saying: three women play one show. With so many ladies together, if you say a word to me, even if they are still holding it, it is really like a vegetable market.

Nangong Yue kept a smile on her lips, but she felt that this spring banquet was really not in vain, not to mention how the "seeing each other" between the young masters and the girls went on, it was just that these ladies praised their children without leaving any traces. To belittle other people's homes, the secrets of the various governments revealed in the words were unexpected surprises.

For example, the eldest son of the Li family, regardless of his appearance and temperament, is gentle and refined. I heard that he is already a leader at a young age, which is in line with Xiao Fei's preferences, but today I know that the eldest son of the Li family used to be under the control of his grandfather, General Li. , and Shijiao pointed to marriage. Now that the woman has declined, and General Li is gone, the Li family has turned his face and refused to recognize him.

For example, the second son of Huang Changshi's family was born in a family of civil servants, and is said to be good at painting and calligraphy, but it was not until just now that Mrs. Huang had swallowed the dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law, and also stuffed the concubine niece of her mother's family into the eldest son as an aunt.

Another example, the son of the Tong family...

In just over an hour, the name on the son-in-law list in Nangong Yue's heart has been reduced by one-third.

After another incense stick, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of the mountain forest, mixed with crisp and hearty chatter and laughter. He was riding his horse toward this side, and he immediately carried his prey, which seemed to be a good harvest.

During the walk, a few young people chatted and laughed. They were still a little rusty before departure, but in less than two hours, they became more familiar because of the cooperation. Yan Yan, a pair of dark eyes. A dazzling light blooms under the eyes, with the vigor that is unique to young people.

Several ladies were watching secretly, whispering to the acquaintances around them from time to time, and the corners of their mouths were slightly hooked. It seems that today may really be able to achieve a few good luck.

After that, many people came back one after another, including Xiao Rongxuan. As soon as she came back, she trotted to Nangongyue's side to present the treasure: "Sister-in-law, I hunted a pheasant with my own hands just now, and the colorful feathers on its tail are very beautiful. , it can be used to make shuttlecocks, it must be very beautiful..." After saying that, she glanced proudly at Xiao Rongying, who couldn't go because she was too young.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Xiao Rongying's eyes, just as she was about to speak out to ridicule Xiao Rongxuan whether she was robbing her for merit, she heard the sound of horses' hoofs not far away accompanied by the panting voice of a little maid: "It's not good! It's gone!"

Seeing the little maid's pale face, all the female relatives sighed in their hearts and had a faint ominous premonition, but Mrs. Chang suddenly recognized that this little maid was Liu Li, the maid of the third daughter Chang Huanwei, and stood up nervously. Come.

The little maid Liuli wearing a blue riding suit was swaying on the horse, as if she was about to fall off at any time. Seeing this, Baihui hurried forward to help Liuli soothe the somewhat uneasy red horse, and then helped her to dismount. .

With the help of Baihui, Liuli hurriedly walked to the front, and hurriedly bowed her knees to Nangong Yue and Madam Chang: "Prince Concubine, Madam, there is a wolf in the hunting ground! The girl ordered the slaves to come back for help!"

In an instant, the expressions of all the female relatives changed drastically, and their faces turned pale, especially Mrs. Chang, whose face was even paler, and her body swayed, and the mama who served beside her hurriedly supported her.

"Sister Wei, my sister Wei..." Mrs. Chang murmured in a trembling voice.

Her sister Wei has always had no good luck, but she has been smooth and smooth since she was a child, why is she so unlucky today! It doesn't matter if the good things don't turn to Sister Wei, why did you meet the evil wolf? !

Originally, the palace organized the spring hunt, but an accident would have happened. The site was cleared several days before the spring hunt, and all the nearby beasts were expelled to other places, leaving only the relatively docile animals such as deer, sheep, roe deer and badger. A lady would be so reassuring to let the girls go hunting with those sons.

Wild wolves are ferocious beasts, and men may not be able to deal with them, let alone most girls who can do simple riding and shooting. When the wolf chases, I'm afraid it's too late to escape.

Nangong Yue's face was solemn, she believed that Zhu Xing would not make such a big mistake, there must be something wrong!

She called out, "Xiao Ying."

The moment the words fell, Xiao Ying, dressed in black, leaped lightly from a nearby tree, and he didn't know how long he had been lurking there.

Nangong Yue instructed: "Xiao Ying, take a few guards with you and Baihui!"

"Yes, Concubine Shi." Xiao Ying and Baihui responded at the same time.

The two called a few guards, and quickly got on their horses. Baihui asked Liuli to sit in front of her and asked her to help guide the way. After a while, the figures of everyone disappeared into the jungle...

A lady wearing a gold pine-crane silk satin robe looked happily at her daughter who had just returned, and comforted Mrs. Chang softly: "Mrs. Chang, don't worry too much, there are guards from the palace, a wild wolf. It's nothing but nothing."

Although this lady was telling the truth, she couldn't ease the heavy atmosphere, let alone relieve Mrs. Chang. She was afraid that something had happened now. Mrs. Chang put her hands together and silently prayed for God's blessing.

Baihui and Xiao Ying are galloping all the way, it is not easy to tell the direction in the mountains and forests, but fortunately Liuli is still reliable, and points out the direction to everyone from time to time.

After driving three or four miles, Liuli exclaimed excitedly: "Just in front, just in front!"

Before she could finish her words, Baihui had already seen several familiar figures, and one of them turned out to be...

Baihui's heart was startled, and her heart suddenly raised: "Big girl!

Just next to a big tree in front, two beautiful girls were supporting each other. One of them seemed to be injured and her body was staggered. The other girl was sweating profusely and supported her. Bai Zhou. Nervously trying to protect the two girls.

A few meters away from them, a dark gray giant wolf stood facing each other. The giant wolf was sturdy, and its head had passed the waists of the girls. Compared with this vicious beast, it also appeared The two girls became more and more slender and delicate.

"Big girl!" Baihui hurriedly got off the horse, thankfully they came in time, and Xiao Fei didn't seem to be injured.

When Baihui dismounted, she had already pulled out a dagger from her boots.

The gray wolf heard the movement and turned his head. Baihui grabbed the dagger and was ready to go, planning to fly forward when the gray wolf turned his head to meet her own eyes...

Just at this critical moment, Xiao Fei shouted at Baihui: "Baihui, don't! This wolf didn't hurt us."

Next to Xiao Fei, Chang Huanwei, who was described as embarrassed and lame on her right foot, also hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Miss Baihui, it didn't hurt us."

Baihui was stunned for a moment, not sure what the situation was.

"What a cute puppy." Xiao Ying from the back took a step forward, walked to Baihui's side, smiled and touched his chin, "It's not a wolf, it's a dog, and I don't know who brought the hound."

Such a cute puppy? ! The corners of Baihui's mouth twitched. Although she always knew that Xiao Ying was a bit strange, she actually called the hound in front of her, which was one point bigger than an ordinary wolf, a "little" dog?

The Hound had already turned around completely, and seemed to be watching Baihui and Xiao Ying's group vigilantly.

It does seem to be a wolf dog, and it is described as being eight or nine points similar to a wolf. If Xiao Ying hadn't reminded him aloud, it would be easy to mistake it for a wild wolf in such a wilderness at this moment.

As Baihui and others approached, the hound seemed to be frightened and took a step back...

Baihui frowned slightly. It was not an option to let such a large hound roam around in this hunting ground. It could easily be mistaken for a wolf by others. She was about to instruct the guard to take it down first, and then ask who it was. At home, I heard a strange male voice coming from the front: "Harrier Eagle, come here!"

Between the words, a slender cyan figure walked out of the woods. It was a young boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old. He was handsome and tall, wearing a cyan riding suit and carrying a big bow behind him.

The hound made a "wow" in excitement, rushed towards the young man, and wagged his tail enthusiastically at him.

Baihui looked at the other party and said, "This son, is this your hound?"

The young master in Tsing Yi looked up at Baihui and the others, his gaze stopped on Chang Huanwei's unnatural right foot, and he clasped his fists and said, "I'm going down to Yan Xijun, but how many people have my hound startled? It was chasing one just now. Pheasant, I accidentally disappeared." He said, he hastily apologized.

Baihui sees that this young man in Tsing Yi, who calls himself Yan Xijun, is somewhat familiar. It should not be the young man who went to the spring banquet by Mingye Lake today. Presumably the other party did not expect that his hound would scare the girl in the forest. She asked for instructions. Xiao Fei said, "Big girl..."

Xiao Fei smiled lightly and said to Yan Xijun, "Young Master Yan, be optimistic about your hound in the future." The implication is that he doesn't care about him.

After Yan Xijun apologized again, he left with the hound.

Baihui walked over to Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, bowed her head first, and asked, "Miss, what's going on here? Why are you with Miss Chang?" Baihui can be sure that when the lottery was drawn, Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei are definitely not in the same group.

Xiao Fei explained, "Miss Chang, Miss Gu and the others," Xiao Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain when talking about Miss Gu, "I met by chance half an hour ago, and we were around here together. Searching for the prey. Later, we first got separated from Liu Gongzi and the others, then, An Gongzi and Yu Gongzi found a deer and chased after them... leaving me, Miss Chang and Miss Gu. "

She paused and continued: "When the hound first appeared, the three of us thought it was a wolf, and ran away in fright... While running, Miss Gu pushed Miss Chang out to save her life. Biting Miss Chang, but Miss Chang's foot broke..."

Although the hound didn't bite them, Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei didn't know that this was a wolf at the time, and they were naturally too scared to move when they saw it, but it was still standing there and refused to leave...

Chang Huanwei looked at Xiao Fei gratefully. In fact, Xiao Fei didn't say everything. At first, Xiao Fei had already run in the front, and she turned back when she heard the scream of her fall, and the one pushed her. A handful of Gu girls left without looking back.

Chang Huanwei knew that her mother, Mrs. Chang, wanted to marry Xiao Fei for the fifth brother. To be honest, she thought that this was actually inappropriate. There is a saying: raise your head to marry a daughter, and bow your head to marry a daughter-in-law. Xiao Fei's family status is too high, and her temperament is high. If they marry her, won't their family pretend to be their grandson to her?

Fifth brother is such an arrogant person, Chang Huanwei really doesn't want him to be a man with his tail tucked in his tail all his life.

It was her demon.

No matter what Xiao Fei's identity is, from her behavior of returning to help her recklessly just now, it can be seen that she is a person of noble character. Such a person can not only share wealth, but also share weal and woe.

And seeing that Xiao Fei and the prince concubine get along so well, presumably they won't embarrass the little aunt in the future.

The more Chang Huanwei thought about it, the more she felt that it was good to have such a sister-in-law.

Chang Huanwei has already pondered in her heart that she must make a good plan with her mother when she goes back, and find a way to make the fifth brother show more face in front of Xiao Fei, maybe they will meet the right eye!

At this time, Xiao Fei looked at Chang Huanwei and said to Baihui, "Baihui, Miss Chang's foot is twisted, you should send her back first, and leave a few people to wait for Mr. An and Mr. Yu."

After a pause, Xiao Fei pointed in a direction and said again: "And Miss Gu, just now she panicked and fled to which way. It's easy to get lost in the mountains and forests, so you still have to send someone to find her."

Baihui was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile. The eldest girl has done her work very well now. Presumably, after the eldest girl gets married, the imperial concubine doesn't have to worry too much about her.

The two guards who were going to look for Miss Gu had just left their front feet when they heard the sound of "tap" horse hooves coming from not far behind, mixed with the excited voice of the young son, and after a while, they saw two long and jade-like men. Come by horse.

An Minrui and Yu Gongzi came back from the deer hunt. It was originally enough for them to show their faces in front of Xiao Fei, but they didn't expect that they would face such a scene.

After knowing what happened, An Minrui and Yu Gongzi felt regretful. It's because they are too eager for quick success and want to show one or two in front of Xiao Fei, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen! If they were there, they would definitely be able to fight for the title of a hero to save the beauty!

Too bad it's too late to regret.

Baihui ordered the two guards to find the whereabouts of the girl Gu, and followed Xiao Fei, Chang Huanwei and the others on their way home.

After a cup of tea, they returned to Mingye Lake. Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and they were relieved when they saw their return.

When Nangong Yue saw that Xiao Fei was with Chang Huanwei, she was also surprised, as were the other female relatives, whispering doubtfully.

"Sister Wei, are you alright?" Mrs. Chang hurried over, grabbed her daughter's hands and looked at her up and down. Seeing that she was not missing any arms or legs, nor was she bleeding, she just looked like her feet were swollen. He finally let go of his heart, and said with relief, "Sister Wei, you're really scared to death as a mother!"

Mrs. Chang hurriedly clasped her hands together to thank God for the blessing, and murmured, "No way!" When she returns to Luoyue City this time, she must take her daughter to the Mazu Temple to worship again, to get rid of bad luck.

Seeing that Chang Huanwei had slapped her foot, Nangong Yue hurriedly instructed, "Thrush, send someone to find a good doctor to show Miss Chang's foot injury."

Thrush hurriedly ordered to retreat, at this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a purple robe walked towards Xiao Fei and asked anxiously and worriedly, "Miss Xiao, have you seen my family? Daughter? She is with the girl, as well as Second Young Master An and Young Master Yu."

Even if Xiao Fei didn't know the lady originally, after listening to her, she guessed that she should be the mother of the girl Gu, Mrs. Gu.

Although she was very contemptuous of what Ms. Gu did, it had nothing to do with Mrs. Gu. Xiao Fei said politely: "Mrs. Gu, I have already ordered the guards to look for Miss Gu... Mrs. Gu, please rest assured, there are no wolves in the mountains and forests. It's just that the hound was mistaken for a wolf, and the guards will soon find the person."

It was a false alarm. Everyone around was secretly relieved.

The next moment, the maid next to Madam Gu shouted excitedly: "Madam, look, it's the girl who is back."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a slightly embarrassed girl in a lake green riding suit and her maid, escorted by two palace guards, coming from the mountains and forests.

That was Miss Gu. At this moment, she was riding on the horse of the guard of the palace, and her body was a little stiff and cramped.

Xiao Fei looked at Miss Gu, who was on the horse, coldly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Naturally, Miss Gu also saw Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei, her body shivered, and she could only avoid Xiao Fei's cold gaze by dismounting.

Mrs. Gu rushed over in a hurry, hugged her daughter so much and warmly.

Just when everyone thought that this oolong was revealed, Xiao Fei suddenly shouted: "Miss Gu."

For a moment, everyone's eyes focused on Miss Gu again with Xiao Fei's shout. Seeing Xiao Fei's eyes were as cold as frost, many shrewd ladies and girls faintly felt that something was wrong.
