The Queen was not aware of the complicated emotions of the other married women, or even if she was aware of them, she would not take them to heart.
With Fuyi's company, the smile on her face never dissipated, and she was reluctant to let her go until the luncheon was about to begin.
"You have changed a lot."
Fuyi avoided the crowd and sat under the rockery in a daze. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the person who came: "Miss Lu."
Lu Yan lifted her skirt and sat down on the stone next to Fu Yi. She behaved in a gentle manner. If Fu Yi hadn't reached out to help her, she almost fell to the stone.
"Be careful." Fuyi had no choice but to notice that the other person's fingertips were a little cold. She turned around and took the shawl from Xia Yu's hand and put it on Lu Yan: "It's still cold in the middle of spring, so you don't know how to wear more clothes when you go out."
The Lu family is a noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Lu Yan's father is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Two years ago, he was awarded the title of Guanglu doctor for his meritorious service in escorting the emperor.
Fuyi is also known as a dandy in the capital, while Lu Yan is a talented woman with a reputation far and wide.
Lu Yan lowered her head to see Fuyi complaining and tying a cloak for herself. She coughed twice and laughed, "My maid brought her clothes with her when she went out, but I got separated from her."
"Okay." Fuyi pulled the knot of his cloak, stood up and said, "It's windy here, I'll take you back."
"There are many people over there. I want to sit here and be quiet." Lu Yan sat on the stone and looked at her: "Please stay with me."
Fuyi sighed helplessly and sat back on the stone.
“Three years ago, you would not have said such flattering words.” Lu Yan turned her head and looked at the lotus pond next to her. The lotus leaves had not yet grown, and the lake was completely bare, and it was very cold and desolate.
"How can I be considered as flattering? It's just words from the bottom of my heart." Fuyi smiled, and his smile was very free and easy: "I am lucky to be able to make the Queen smile."
Lu Yan wanted to say more. Stopping, I recalled that my friends had just privately discussed Fu Yi’s flattering words, and hesitated for a long time: “I’m worried that others will misunderstand you.”
"I'm just a playboy, and I don't pursue fame. Why should I be afraid of others' misunderstanding?" Fuyi looked at Lu Yan's pale face and pulled her up from the stone: "The banquet is about to start, we should go back, you Don't think too much, "It hurts me."
Lu Yan followed Fuyi obediently. When they were about to reach the main hall of the palace, Fuyi let go of her hand: "You go in first, I have something to say to Xia Yu."< br>
“Okay.” Lu Yan nodded obediently.
Waiting for Lu Yan to enter the palace, Xia Yu asked curiously: "Miss, what do you have to say to the slave?"
"What can I say to you?" Fuyi raised an eyebrow: "Lu Yan's Those little sisters are all well-educated and talented women, and they have never interacted with me. What if they see Lu Yan with me and don’t want to play with her in the future?”
"Then you take Miss Lu to play with you."
"Should I take her to listen to music, or take her to ride horses and play Cuju?" Fu Yi straightened her clothes: "Let's go in now."
The banquet has not yet begun, but the fruit and wine sent by the emperor to the palace minister have arrived first, giving the queen a good face.
Fuyi did not have a rank, but because her parents were more expensive, she was seated closer to the front. Next to her was Lin Xiaowu and the young daughter of a minister.
Lin Xiaowu moved his seat and squeezed together with Fuyi: "I didn't expect Princess Ning to be so beautiful."
"She comes from the Lu family, a prominent family in the north of the Ling Dynasty. The late emperor had arranged this marriage for Prince Ning before he died. Given how much the late emperor valued him, he would naturally choose a princess with both talent and beauty for him." Fu Yi handed over the orange in his hand. Lin Xiaowu half said: "Have a try."
"What a pity." Lin Xiaowu sympathized with Princess Ning. If the late emperor was still in power, this would indeed be a good match.
Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne and Prince Ning has lost power, with the status of the Lu family, there is no chance of regretting the marriage.
Princess Ning's words and deeds can be regarded as a model of a noble lady. Even though her status is a bit embarrassing, she still manages to navigate among the ladies of destiny without any problems.
On the contrary, several married women from the Lu family in Lingbei had a mediocre attitude towards her and were not very close to her.
In the middle of the banquet, Lin Xiaowu pulled Fuyi's sleeves: "Fuyi, I want to go change clothes, why don't you go with me."
Fuyi put down the silver chopsticks, got up and accompanied Lin Xiaowu to change clothes. Halfway through, I heard someone talking quietly by the lake.
"As expected of the Lu family in Lingbei, he was willing to marry such a good girl to Prince Ning."
"A gentleman should cultivate his heart and be sincere. A family with such character as the Lu family, Naturally, we will not do anything that is not true to our word.”
“The Lu family can be called a model of gentlemen.”
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Fuyi nodded to Lin Xiaowu, pretending not to hear what they said.
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Lin Xiaowu held up the hem of her skirt and ran away in small steps.
The few people who were talking heard their voices and hurriedly left with their sleeves covering their faces in embarrassment.
There was a faint sound coming from behind the rockery. Fuyi pretended not to notice it and walked away.
"She knows I'm here." Princess Ning walked out of the rockery and looked at the retreating figure. After a long time, she slowly came back to her senses.
The girl spared her the embarrassment in a kind way.
"Princess." The maid supported her worriedly: "Don't take the words of irrelevant people to heart."
"They praised our Lu family as a model of gentlemen. I still have What are you dissatisfied with?" Princess Ning put her hand on the maid's palm and walked down the rockery with her back straight: "Let's go back to the palace." Princess Ning returned to the banquet, and she was in perfect condition. Nothing wrong with it at all. Princess Kangyang, who was sitting next to her, saw her suddenly staring at Yun Fuyi and Lin Xiaowu, who had just entered the palace, and introduced her: "They are useless dandies in the capital. They spend their days entertaining cats and dogs, doing nothing serious. If you meet them, stay away.”
Recalling the little affection between Prince Ning and Fu Yi, and her fat grandson who was bullied by Yun Fuyi, Princess Kangyang said something more: "The one with the flying fairy bun is Master Yun. My daughter is the most troublesome and annoying.”
"Aunt, you are joking. Yun Shangshu's name is known to everyone in Dalong..."
Princess Kangyang interrupted Princess Ning: "Yun Wanggui is indeed a person praised by everyone. But his daughter... Humph!"
She maintained the last bit of dignity as a princess and did not curse out loud on the spot.
Her obedient big fat grandson has been bullied by this bastard girl countless times.
"Princess Kangyang seems to be glaring at you." Lin Xiaowu noticed Princess Kangyang's gaze and asked Fuyi secretly: "Have you bullied Liu Xiaopang again recently?"
"It has nothing to do with me that he came to the door to scold him." Fuyi didn't care how Princess Kangyang scolded him in his heart, and ate happily with his chopsticks.
"Fu Yi, I remember you didn't like eating duck flower soup cake before." Lin Xiaowu was a little surprised when he saw Fu Yi pick up a piece of duck flower soup cake. Fuyi ate it in two or two bites: "It's actually not that bad."
It was her fault in the past. She was picky about everything she ate. Then she fell off a cliff with injuries and endured hunger along with the villagers who rescued her. Only when you go hungry and live a hard life do you realize how ignorant you are.
Hearing this, tears flashed in Lin Xiaowu's eyes, and he held Fuyi's hand tightly: "Fuyi, you have suffered."
This is so much punishment that I can even eat soup cakes that I didn't like before.
In the past, her family was very particular about their clothes. They would burn incense in the house before eating, and every meal and tea was exquisite and meticulous.
Seeing Lin Xiaowu's tearful eyes, Fuyi reluctantly touched her hair bag: "Have a good meal."
"Please forgive me, Miss Yun, the servant below is not sensible. , I brought you the wrong soup cake, my slave will give it to you..." The waiter carrying the hibiscus cake hurriedly came to Fuyi's table and wanted to replace the duck flower soup cake for her, but he didn't know that there was only an empty plate in front of Fuyi. , the soup cake inside disappeared.
He knelt down in panic: "The slave is guilty."
"Get up quickly." Fuyi saw that the servant was only twelve or thirteen years old, so he took an orange from the table and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Take the fruit and go down to eat."
"Thank you for Miss Yun's reward." Seeing that Fu Yi was not angry, the little waiter took the fruit and thanked him profusely.
The hibiscus cake was sweet and tempting. It must have been brought to her right after it came out of the pan. I picked up a piece of it and tasted it. It seemed to still have the same taste, but it seemed different.
“The steward of Shangshi Bureau is quite considerate and remembers what you like to eat.” Lin Xiaowu took the hibiscus cake and took a bite: “The taste has not changed, it is still the same as before.”
< br>It turns out nothing has changed.
Fuyi took a sip of the fragrant drink on the table and sighed. Sure enough, people change. For example, she became less of a jerk.
“The gentleman of the Lu family has promised that some people will act according to the prevailing circumstances. She doesn’t feel ashamed, and I blush for her.”
“How can you talk so loudly at a royal banquet? What about etiquette?" Fuyi put down the cup and said without raising her head: "How elegant Princess Ning is, hasn't someone here learned a thing or two?"
She has corrected some bad habits, but not much.
The person who spoke seemed not to have expected that Fuyi would directly retaliate in this situation, and said with a blushing face: "I'm not talking about you, why are you going to sit down?"
"I'm not talking about you, what's your answer?" Fuyi asked back.
"Yes, what do you want to say?" Lin Xiaowu laughed: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
The people around the other party quickly persuaded and coaxed, just because they were afraid. She really got into trouble with Fu Yi.
Someone whispered in her ear: "You haven't had any wine, why are you saying such things?!"
Someone said: "Okay, why did you provoke her? Crazy? ”
"Isn't it because your brother was beaten because of her a few days ago? If he hadn't accompanied Wang Yanhe to tease the girls, how could your father beat him?"
Miss Chen did not expect that she would be friends with her on weekdays. The little sisters, at this moment, all said something wrong with her, their faces were red with anger, and their eyes were filled with heat.
Yun Fuyi is not a princess, so what is there to be afraid of?
“Didn’t you beat up some dirty trash a few days ago and go to complain to their elders?” Guessing that Fuyi might not know this person, Lin Xiaowu explained: “She is one of them. One person’s sister, whose surname is Chen, was transferred to Beijing two years ago.”
“No wonder”
No wonder he could treat her strangely in this situation. It turned out that he didn't understand her well enough.
Seeing that the little girl's neck was flushed with anger, Fuyi tilted his head and smiled at her calmly.
“Look, she is still laughing at me.” Miss Chen was furious and pulled the little sisters to complain again.
"You misunderstood, she smiled at you because...she loves to smile by nature."
"Yes, yes, she just loves to smile by nature, don't think too much about it."< br>
Someone forced Miss Chen's head back to prevent her from staring at Fuyi anymore.
Fortunately, the jugglers from Yuefu entered the palace at this time and performed their performances to the ladies, thus separating the sight of both parties.
For the safety of the nobles, many things cannot be brought into the palace, so the juggling performed is quite satisfactory, but not as thrilling and interesting as the folk wild tricks. Dandies like Lin Xiaowu Fuyi are not interested in watching it.
Until an old man came in and performed a peacock show, Fuyi suddenly became energetic and stared at the two peacocks with burning eyes.
Lin Xiaowu was confused. She had raised a few peacocks in the past, and she didn't see Fuyi being so rare. Why is she staring at the peacock today?
After the peacock danced, it suddenly shook its tail feathers, spread its colorful tail, and nodded in the direction of the queen.
"The peacock saw the true face of the phoenix and bowed before him, wishing the empress a thousand years." The old man peacock knelt down to salute, and the two peacocks beside him also knelt down. In an instant, everyone was amazed.
At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly came from outside the palace, and the peacock, which originally had its screen open, flew towards the queen like crazy.
"Escort!"
A red shadow flashed across the palace, and a slender hand pinned the peacock flying into the air to the ground. The peacock only had time to make a "quacking" sound before it fainted. passed.
Another peacock was also carried in her hands by her. This peacock struggled desperately and its feathers were all over the sky.
Fuyi shook the two peacocks in his hands, tied them tightly with the shawl on his body, turned around and looked at the queen with concern: "Empress, you are frightened."
"I'm fine." The queen stood up and walked towards Fu Yi: "Are you injured?"
"Your Majesty, catching such a flat-haired beast is a piece of cake for me." Fu Yi patted her. He patted his feathers.
Nothing but familiarity.
After she fell off the cliff, she didn't know how to do farm work. In order to prevent the villagers from thinking she was freeloading, she helped the villagers watch chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs every day. So much so that when she saw such furry things flying away, she immediately I can't help but want to catch them back.
It was a cruel life that tempered her strong and unyielding will!
