Chapter 264 New Year's Eve Palace Banquet (4)
Feng Shuo's identity is sensitive, and now that Feng Lisheng is not in the capital, people hiding in the dark will definitely wait for the opportunity to move.
Compared to the imperial palace, which is heavily guarded on the surface but mixed with various forces, Su Wang's mansion is naturally safer.
But no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, the child was determined to study in the palace. Feng Lisheng didn't object either.
She understood what the two of them were thinking. Shuo'er wanted to use himself as bait to lure out the poisonous snake hiding in the dark. This is actually a way to hurt yourself, so ever since Feng Shuo entered the palace, she has been worried.
Feng Shuo shrank one shoulder back without a trace, and said with a nonchalant face: "No, before my uncle left, I arranged for many people to protect me secretly, and my uncle is here, so don't worry about my aunt."
Shen Mingjiao seemed unaware of "Oh", "That's good. But you seem to have lost weight recently, although homework is important, you must also pay attention to your body. I will tell the emperor's sister-in-law later to let you go back to the mansion to rest for a while." sky."
In a corner that Feng Shuo couldn't see, she looked at the thin but straight back of the little guy and sighed secretly.
In her previous life, she had raised this child for six years. Even if Shuo'er showed no signs of emotion, she could still tell whether the other party was lying!
But since the child took the trouble to hide it, she just pretended not to know.
Feng Shuo met her worried eyes, so naturally he would not refuse.
Just as the two were about to return to the front hall, a sound of Xun suddenly came from afar, the tone was silent and desolate, and one couldn't help feeling sour.
Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows and played the xun on the festive New Year's Eve. This is another noble lady who does not take the usual way!
There is nothing left and right now, so she walked forward along the source of the sound, bypassing a deserted path, and the sound of the xun became more and more clear.
I saw a tall and straight man standing beside the rockery not far away, wearing a scarlet python robe, which should have been quite imposing. However, he looked very lonely and desolate.
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze without much interest. She thought it was an unusual move by some noble lady to gain attention, but she didn't think it was the prince who was here to remember her true love!
She silently waved at Feng Shuo, and the two left quietly.
…
Lu Jingshu finally got rid of Mrs. Lu's nagging, and went out of the front hall. She planned to find a few little sisters who usually play.
It's just that this imperial garden is very big. Although there are palace lanterns everywhere, it is night after all. She looked around, but couldn't find the person she was looking for.
At this time, she felt something soft rubbing against one ankle,
Looking down, she saw a beautiful snow-white Persian cat arching around her feet. Seeing her looking over, the little guy turned his glazed eyes curiously
Lu Jingshu's girlish heart was immediately transformed, and she bent down and reached out to touch the little guy's soft head.
The kitten saw the human paw stretching towards it, and its fluffy fur puffed up vigilantly, and immediately jumped out in fright.
If it is an ordinary person, when encountering this scene, most of them will just shake their heads regretfully. But Lu Jingshu was spoiled by her parents, brother and sister-in-law since she was a child, and she has always done things as she pleases without any scruples.
Seeing the beautiful kitten running away, she immediately raised her foot to chase after it. The big maid behind her had no choice but to keep up.
As the daughter of a military general, Lu Jingshu has also learned some martial arts, so her physical strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary noble girls.
Walking through the flowers and willows, seeing the kitten turning around a path and disappearing, Lu Jingshu hastened to chase after it.
However, the shadow of the kitten can no longer be found. The big maid looked at the dark scenery around her. Some worried, she tugged on Lu Jingshu's sleeve: "...Girl, let's go back! It's weird here!"
Lu Jingshu was conceited and courageous, she glanced at the maidservant contemptuously: "What are you afraid of, this is the imperial palace!"
After finishing speaking, he continued to turn his head and search for the kitten unwillingly. At this time, there was a desolate Xun sound in my ear.
The big maid shrank back in fear: "Girl, girl, did you hear any strange voice..."
Lu Jingshu gave her a white look: "It's so rare and strange! This is a xun! It's a very common musical instrument in the northwest border, and my dad can play it very well!
Huh! No, daddy said, although Xun is a musical instrument, those high-ranking people who claim to be elegant don't like it, thinking that it is difficult to enter the elegant hall! Why would someone blow the xun in the palace now..."
She spoke to herself, her footsteps involuntarily heading towards the source of the sound.
Turning around the path, I saw the prince standing next to the rockery and blowing xun at a glance.
Because of the distance, she did not see the prince's face clearly, but only recognized the scarlet python robe on his body.
Seeing that the prince was still immersed in his own world, he was completely unaware of the arrival of the two of them.
Lu Jingshu walked more than ten steps quietly, and simply sat down on a big rock, raised her head and rested her chin, and stared curiously at the prince's side face.
The big maid tugged at her sleeves and whispered in her ear:
"This song sounds so sad! Many people say that the prince is sad all day long because of the death of Mrs. Su. The prince is really an infatuated person!"
Lu Jingshu doesn't care about these things, she just thinks this guy is a pretty good braggart. The second is that it has been a long time since I heard someone blowing the xun, so it was a bit novel for a while.
She used to stay with her father in border detention for a while out of curiosity, but later felt that the life there was too harsh, so she clamored to return to Beijing.
Thinking about it now, I still feel a little nostalgic.
He picked up a fist-sized stone beside him, and under the terrified eyes of the maidservant, he lifted it up with all his might. Throw it into the river next to the water pavilion in front of the prince.
With a "plop", a huge splash of water hit the hem of the prince's robe.
The dull and sad Xun sound finally stopped abruptly, and the prince frowned and turned his head to look.
The maid turned pale with fright, and dragged Lu Jingshu to leave:
"Girl, run, that's the prince! You are offending the king, and you will be beheaded..."
After she said this, Lu Jingshu also realized suddenly that the person in front of her was the prince! It's not the big nephews in the mansion who can fight with him at will.
Thinking of this, she was also a little scared. But she felt that as the daughter of the dignified General Lu, if she just ran away like this, she would lose her share!
While she was thinking wildly, the prince came over and looked at her slightly with a frown:
"Which family's children are so naughty!"
Seeing him walking towards her, Lu Jingshu was a little scared and guilty. But when she heard this, she immediately became upset.
Fortunately, the remaining saneness and the natural awe of the royal family prevented her from directly confronting her as before, but said a little more euphemistically:
"Your Highness, the crown prince, is wrong! The courtier's daughter is already old this year, so she can't be considered a child."
The prince was not angry when he heard what she said, and still looked at her gently, as if looking at a disobedient child.
Lu Jingshu was furious, and the big maid behind her grabbed her sleeve tightly, afraid that she would do something amazing again
Lu Jingshu snorted, made a substandard salute with the prince, and planned to leave.
The crown prince suddenly stopped her behind her, and Lu Jingshu thought that the other party wanted to punish her.
While she was thinking about how the prince would punish herself, a snow-white silk handkerchief embroidered with cloud patterns suddenly appeared in front of her, and the prince's gentle and gentle voice sounded above her head:
"Wipe your face,"
Lu Jingshu was stunned, and subconsciously followed his line of sight to touch her face, her palm felt a little sticky, presumably because she walked too fast just now, and accidentally touched a branch of flowers and trees along the way.
Seeing her reaction, the prince seemed to find it very amused, and lowered his head and chuckled:
"It looks like a little tabby cat, and it's not a child!"
Even if you smile, it gives people a sense of warmth and softness.
Lu Jingshu raised her head angrily, facing a pair of gentle and smiling eyes,
Although the prince is not as good-looking as Feng Lisheng, he is still one of the best in appearance. The facial features are soft and the temperament is warm.
At this moment, looking at this face under the hazy moonlight, Lu Jingshu's heart beat a little faster for no reason.
Born in a family of generals, most of the men I met since I was a child have resolute faces. The temperament is bitter. I have never seen such a gentle and good-looking man.
Until the prince's back had gone far away and disappeared, Lu Jingshu still stood there in a daze for a long time.
The big maid doesn't know why. Seeing the prince left, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, it's getting late, let's go back to the front hall!"
Lu Jingshu lowered her head and smiled, her mood seemed to improve all of a sudden, she pulled out the soft whip around her waist and turned it around briskly.
"Let's go!"
After the figures of the two disappeared completely, two figures walked out from behind the rockery.
"Girl, the prince must have taken a fancy to the overlord flower of the Lu family! This..."
Jiang Xueru looked at the direction where the prince left, her face was dark and unclear.
"It's absolutely impossible, how can a gentle man like the crown prince like a domineering and savage woman like Lu Jingshu! He obviously likes..."
Speaking of this, she paused, looking at the calluses on her slender hands from practicing the piano.
The servant girl was still a little worried: "But the Lu family is powerful, what if Miss Lu goes to ask General Lu..."
Jiang Xueru gritted her teeth, why isn't she worried? Although there are rumors from above that Jing and Di are likely to promote his father as prime minister.
But before the matter is settled, the hearts of their father and daughter will be difficult to settle down.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueru clenched her fists. This is her only chance to get close to the prince.
So she has to find a way to make the prince or the royal family have to marry her.
Thinking of the servant girl of the Su family who was bought into the mansion by her father two months ago, she became more confident.
Compared to others, she felt that she still had a better chance of winning.
