Chapter 1374

Xiao Fei didn't look at An Zhi's painting, nor at the broken hydrangea, and continued to walk forward.

Chang Huanwei felt very happy, and quickened her pace to keep up with Xiao Fei, and many ladies in the pavilion shook their heads secretly, only to think that Miss Xiao really had the same temperament as before, but she didn't know that this time is different from the past, she has no Madam Xiao Fang supported her.

An Zhihua's entire face turned black, and his whole body trembled slightly.

The maidservants of Anfu kept silent, picked up the smashed hydrangea, and sent it to An Zhihua, wanting to ask the girl if she should change the hydrangea.

An Zhihua suffered such a big loss, how could she be willing to take a break? At this time, if she allowed Xiao Fei to bully herself, who would look at her in the future.

An Zhihua's eyes flashed a sullen look, and regardless of the other eight girls present, he walked towards the pavilion with his skirt, and the maid with the hydrangea hurriedly followed.

"Prince Concubine," An Zhihua walked up to Nangong Yue to be aggrieved and blessed, her big eyes misty with mist, "Look, the little girl's hydrangea has been trampled."

An Zhihua didn't name the hydrangea, but who was there who didn't know who stepped on the hydrangea.

An Zhihua glanced at Xiao Fei provocatively and thought to herself: This young lady Xiao dared to do such a thing in public, and it also gave the imperial concubine a chance to scold her.

As the saying goes, "If you give up, you can get it", presumably the princess will think of her own good. That way, you won't waste your own baby.

However, what she never expected was that Nangong Yue just glanced at the hydrangea that had been trampled down, and said lightly, "Cousin painting is just a thing, if it breaks, it will break. Baihui, you Go to my Curry and get that white jade hollowed-out golden lobster ball to pay to my cousin painting."

"Yes, Concubine Shizi," Baihui responded and hurried away.

An Zhihua bit his lower lip slightly, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and then he was a little unwilling.

This precious witch ball of hers is valuable and unique. On weekdays, even she herself is reluctant to play with it. How can this white jade witch ball be compared! She doesn't even care about the princess's compensation!

In the end, An Zhihua was only a fifteen-year-old girl, and she did not hide the indignation on her face for a while, her snow-white teeth clenched her lower lip.

Mrs. An on the side rounded up the ground and scolded An Zhihua: "Sister Hua, it's just a hydrangea. If it breaks, it will break." She smiled and said to Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, "Prince Concubine, Xiao Da. Girl, my daughter is young and ignorant."

Nangong Yue smiled without saying a word.

For a while, the atmosphere in the pavilion and under the flower shed was deserted a lot. The eight girls looked at each other in dismay. Would you like to play the next game? Even the ladies were whispering, not understanding what the Concubine Shizi's intention was.

Nangong Yue didn't care about it at all, and turned her head to talk to Xiao Fei.

Seeing this, An Zhihua couldn't say anything, but fortunately, guests arrived one after another, so she took advantage of the welcome and walked away.

Without the hydrangea, it means the game is over.

The girls went away, chatting and enjoying the flowers on their own, but just going through the little episode just now, the atmosphere was always less lively and comfortable than before.

After half an hour, Baihui, who had traveled to Bixiaotang, came back with a carved mahogany box in her hand.

Baihui opened the box, took out a delicate white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball, and returned to Nangong Yue.

The female relatives present looked at it curiously. The things that the concubine of the world shot must not be of ordinary quality. It's just that Miss An's golden ball is unparalleled in Dayu. No matter how good the concubine's things are, I'm afraid Can't make it.

At this moment, Baihui's little finger hooked slightly without a trace, and the white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball slipped from her hand just like that, and many girls subconsciously let out a low voice.

The golden ball slammed onto the ground, and then rolled out, just in front of the embroidered shoes painted by An Zhi, and bumped lightly on the toe of her shoes.

Nangong Yue raised her brows and first reprimanded Baihui lightly: "This is for my cousin Hua, you are too careless." Then, she looked at An Zhihua and said again with a smile, " Painting cousin, may I trouble you to pick up this golden hazel ball?"

For a moment, the surroundings were silent.

At this moment, everyone present could see that Concubine Shizi was helping Miss Xiao to get ahead.

It turned out that although the Xiao Fang was divorced, the concubine Shizi and Miss Xiao were still in love with each other, which means that Miss Xiao still had a stable position in the palace... Thinking about it this way, Xiao Fei was the only direct daughter of the prince, and there was also a concubine of the prince. Love is always more noble than the concubines of the palace. If you want to marry the palace, Miss Xiao is still the first choice.

Mrs. Chang is even more secretly delighted. There is a saying: it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow. What her daughter did just now will definitely leave a good impression on Miss Xiao. that is! Their Chang's house is not one of those mansions that step up and down.

Thinking about it, Mrs. Chang's eyes flashed a hint of color, and she held up the tea cup leisurely, in a good mood.

Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue with admiration on her face, thinking to herself: No matter what her mother did, my sister-in-law always defended herself so unselfishly. It's great to have such a sister-in-law!

Only An Zhihua looked down at the golden ball at his feet with a stiff expression on his face. Concubine Shizi clearly did it on purpose! Could it be that Concubine Shi Zi really wants to protect Xiao Fei? !

An Zhihua felt extremely embarrassed, and really wanted to step on the golden lobster ball beside his feet.

However, she is not Xiao Fei, she dare not!

Her feet seemed to be tied to a huge boulder, unable to lift one bit.

Mrs. An looked at An Zhihua and called out nervously, "Sister Hua..." She was afraid that her daughter would lose her mind in a hurry.

An Zhihua took a deep breath, and after a while, he finally moved, leaned over and picked up the golden ball, and then thanked Nangong Yue as if nothing had happened, with a slightly stiff smile.

The white jade golden ball seemed to be extremely hot in her hands, neither throwing it nor holding it.

Mrs. An was just about to make a round. There were several figures from the flower gallery, accompanied by Feng shi. After the ladies noticed it, they secretly hinted at the lady beside her, so they came more and more. The more eyes turned to the direction of the flower gallery.

This person is very familiar, it is Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Ruolan mother and daughter.

It is now past the time written on the post. Usually, when you come to other people's mansion as a guest, you will deliberately come a little earlier, so as not to be rude in front of others, probably only the distinguished guests such as Zhennan King can come late.

Mrs. Qiao chose to come when everyone was almost there. Everyone knew what she was putting on.

Feng shi didn't know what happened, but felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird.

Seeing that An Zhihua was holding a white jade hollowed-out golden ball in her hand, she smiled to liven up the atmosphere: "Third sister, what game are you playing?"

What happened just now can't be explained in a few words. An Zhihua's expression was a little stiff, but he soon smiled casually, and answered lightly, "sister-in-law, we are playing 'Drumming and Passing Flowers', whoever receives the hydrangea will ask for it. Recite a peony verse in the five breaths, or you will be out of the game."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and said casually: "What's the point of reciting poetry? It's just reciting. Wouldn't it be more elegant and interesting for the girl who received the hydrangea to perform a talent, play the piano or dance?"

Qiao Ruolan said in agreement, "Mother, you have a good idea." As she spoke, she also looked at the white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball in the box.

She just glanced at it casually, but accidentally noticed something, raised her eyebrows, and said with a hint of surprise in her tone, "Miss Ansan, your golden lobster ball is very delicate, can you lend me a look? "

Of course, An Zhihua was very kind. He instructed the maid, and the maid took the golden lobster ball and presented it to Qiao Ruolan.

Qiao Ruolan picked up the white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball, looked at it carefully, and praised: "This golden thread ball is intricate and delicate, and the thinnest part of the golden thread is comparable to silk. This craftsmanship... I am afraid that today's masters can't do it. , is this something from the previous dynasty?" As she said that, she looked at the An family in a different way, as expected from the idea of ​​the four major families in the Southern Border, with a profound background.

Immediately, a lady sighed: "Miss Qiao is indeed worthy of being a Shuangshu in the Southern Border. She really has a good eye. If the girl didn't say it, I would not have seen that this white jade hollowed-out golden lobed ball of Concubine Shizi was actually a treasure of the previous dynasty."

Prince Consort? ! Qiao Ruolan's hand froze, and the white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball in her hand almost fell, and she wished she could take back all the words just now.

She originally wanted to play drumming and passing flowers with a few girls, but now that she knew that the golden ball belonged to Nangong Yue, she lost all interest, and couldn't wait to throw the white jade hollow golden ball back to An Zhihua.

The ladies around were all amazed. I didn't expect that the things that Concubine Shizi casually brought out were so extraordinary. The Nangong family really had a profound background. In comparison, Miss Ansan's hydrangea only deserved it. The word "expensive" is set off like a nouveau riche.

Also, the An family has been defeated for a while, so it is no wonder that the An family is eager for quick success.

Feeling these glances, An Zhihua's face was embarrassed and angry, holding the golden lobster ball without making a sound.

Mrs. An winked at her again and again, and finally, An Zhihua calmed down. Today is very important to him, and he must not be affected like this.

Thinking of this, she showed a lively smile again, and greeted the eight girls who played drums and passed flowers.

The crisp sound of the pipa reverberated in the garden again, the golden loin balls circled with the music, and the girls got out one by one——

Miss Yu casually played a short piece with the maid's pipa; Miss Wang performed a sword dance with the help of Anjia's sword; and Miss Li showed a superb tea art, and the flowers bloomed leisurely in the tea...

Several ladies drank the scented tea that Miss Li brewed, and they all praised it again and again.

At this moment, a nanny walked quietly to Mrs. An's side and whispered something in a low voice.

Mrs. An's eyes flashed, and she instructed the maid beside her, "Miss Li's tea is well-brewed, you can give it to the third girl to taste."

"Yes, Madam."

The maid hurriedly bowed her knees to lead the order, took the tea cup, and handed it to An Zhihua.

After An Zhihua took a sip of the hot tea, he handed it back to the maid. After a while, the sound of the pipa was played again, like a big bead falling on a jade plate, and a golden thread ball was passed in the hands of the girls...

This time, when the sound of the pipa stopped, the golden ball just fell into the hands of An Zhihua.

An Zhihua stood up graciously, handed the white jade hollowed-out golden thread ball to the maid next to him, and said with a smile, "It happened that I learned a dance a few days ago, so why don't I just dance and have a good time with everyone. "

Since An Zhihua was going to dance, the girls in the flower shed stepped aside, and the maids hurriedly moved away the top chairs.

After An Zhihua made a little makeup, he stood gracefully in the middle of the flower shed, and then the pipa sounded, An Zhihua flicked his jade wrist, and the water sleeve flew into a beautiful arc...

At the same time, on the other side of the lake, several tall men were walking towards the lake.

"My lord, please come this way." An Zian led the way and walked along a rugged rockery. "There is a peony flower shed in front."

King Zhennan responded lightly, a little disappointed.

In his view, this garden of An Mansion is very common. In other words, which mansion in the southern border can surpass the palace!

Suddenly, a quiet sound of pipa came from the front.

An Zian happened to take Zhennan King around the rockery group, and a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him.

King Zhennan couldn't help but follow the sound of the pipa, and saw a wisteria flower shed beside the pavilion on the other side of the lake. Under a string of pink and purple wisteria flowers, a girl in a rose-red dress was dancing in the flower shed. Her body is light, every waving, turning, lowering, leaping... is so beautiful and moving, with her dancing, the robe flutters, and the blue silk flutters, like the legendary peony fairy, and it reveals a kind of Publicity, a kind of self-confidence, a kind of youthful vitality.

King Zhennan stopped subconsciously, looking at the girl with flying skirts by the lake, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, around this lake is the peony flower shed..."

An Zian said deliberately, but King Zhennan stood there as if he had never heard of it.

An Zian is a man, of course he can see the surprise in the eyes of King Zhennan. He was both excited and proud in his heart, barely holding back the corners of his mouth that were about to cock up.

Today's scene is naturally an "accidental encounter" arranged by An Zian after careful planning.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Qiao, he deliberately investigated the young concubines that King Zhennan had favored over the past few years. One is not young and beautiful, but also quite talented.

That's right, this man, the more middle-aged he is, the more he likes that kind of young and pretty girl, as if he will become younger because of it.

And her own painting sister is no worse than these women in terms of appearance and talent, and her identity is still the direct daughter of their Anfu. All she needs is a chance, a chance to impress King Zhennan.

Like this moment!

In the flower shed, the young girl is still dancing and spinning to the fullest, her figure is soft and graceful, making the viewers unable to take their eyes off...

"My lord." An Zian called again.

King Zhennan came back to his senses, and looked at An Zian with a slight eyebrow, showing a hint of impatience.

An Zian smiled and said, "It really made the lord laugh. The little girl has been learning dance for a few days, but she was embarrassed in front of the lord."

This time, King Zhennan was somewhat interested, and asked casually, "Is this Ling Ai?"

"Exactly." An Zian replied respectfully, and then deliberately sighed and said one more sentence, "The little girl just got married this year, sigh, my daughter is old, stay here and keep it as an enemy."

That is to say, An Zhi's paintings have not yet been approved by people.

King Zhennan responded lightly, and without saying anything else, he walked forward with great strides.

"My lord..." An Zian hurriedly followed, not sure what King Zhennan meant.

A few of them walked away again, without noticing the opposite side of the lake, a pair of bright eyes looked at them when they appeared. Baihui watched King Zhennan and his group drift away, then withdrew his gaze and whispered in Nangong Yue's ear.

Nangong Yue glanced thoughtfully in the direction where King Zhennan left, and then looked at An Zhihua, who was sweating profusely.

Today is just for fun, so the other girls are not enough to show their talents, so far, only this girl An San seems to be a little too hard.

Nangong Yue's eyes flashed, she picked up the tea cup in front of her, and covered the corner of her mouth with a half-smile.

What does An Jia mean by fighting?

Could it be that……

Thinking about it, Nangong Yue looked at An Zhihua with more interest.

At this time, the sound of the pipa gradually eased, and An Zhihua's dance also gradually eased, and finally ended with a flick of his sleeves.

An Zhihua glanced across the lake without leaving a trace, followed by Luoluo and said generously to everyone, "Zhihua is embarrassing."

After everyone praised a few words, An Zhihua withdrew, and the game continued. After a few more rounds, a lady Lang finally won the lottery from Nangong Yue.

After that, Mrs. An took everyone to the flower hall outside the garden to use the seats.

After lunch, everyone took a short rest, and then went to the garden to enjoy peonies. When the time came, the guests left one after another.

Nangong Yue originally wanted to leave early, but seeing that Xiao Fei and Chang Huanwei were chatting speculatively, she left an extra stick of incense. After the two girls finished speaking, she said goodbye to the host.

Mrs. An, Feng Shi and An Zhihua personally sent Nangong Yue and his party to the second gate, and then sent them on to their respective carriages.

After the carriage drove out of the gate of An Mansion, Nangong Yue rubbed her brows slightly tiredly, and Baihui said softly, "Prince Prince, would you like the servant to put a pillow for you, and you lie down and rest for a while?"

Before she could finish her words, Zhu Lunche, who had just left the house, suddenly slowed down, followed by a voice from the driver who couldn't hide his surprise: "Concubine Shizi, Lord Shizi is here."

Ai? !

But it's only halfway through now, and Yi has come back from the Luoyue City camp so early? !

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the curtains and looked out.

I saw that on the street facing the gate of the Anfu, there was a tall dark cloud treading on the snow, immediately straddling a purple-clothed youth, looking directly at his red wheel car, when the two eyes met, A bright smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, which was even more dazzling than the scorching sun in the sky.

It is indeed Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi was so dignified and waited at the entrance of the An Mansion on horseback. Naturally, the people in the other mansions also saw it. All of them were very emotional, and immediately guessed that the prince was here to pick up the prince and concubine.

Those men came forward to salute Xiao Yi one after another. As for those female dependents, whether they were ladies or girls, they were full of envy in their hearts.

There is a saying: it is easy to seek priceless treasures, but it is rare to have a lover.

Grandpa Shizi has a distinguished status and is so affectionate to Concubine Shizi, Concubine Shizi is indeed lucky!

Xiao Yi casually dismissed those who came to greet him, then immediately turned over and dismounted, and threw the horse to Bamboo for disposal, while he shamelessly entered Nangong Yue's Zhu Lun Cha.

Seeing this, it was not easy for the others to come over to greet them with saliva, but the young couple in Zhu Lun's car were cleaned up.

After this short interlude, Zhu Lunche continued on the road... After driving on a wide street, the speed of the car accelerated a lot with the shouts of the driver.

In the carriage, only Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were left at this moment, Baihui had already retired wisely and sat outside alongside the driver.

Nangong Yue leaned leisurely in Xiao Yi's arms. With this noble "human flesh cushion", she felt a lot more energetic. Accompanied by the monotonous sound of the wheels of the car, she took great interest to put the day in the room. Xiao Yi was told what happened in Anfu...

Along with the story, she also combed through today's events in Anfu from beginning to end, and suddenly found that Mrs. Qiao, who proposed to let the girls play the piano and dance, may also play a very interesting role in the whole thing...
