When Yu Ting arrived at the Hou Mansion late, Chen Xing saw that her legs were weak and helped her get out of the carriage. He couldn't help but said cautiously, "Princess, I think it's better to go back."

She lowered her eyelashes, remembering what Xie Xuan said yesterday, shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law is looking for me because she has something to do."

"Princess," Xie Xuan waited for her in the front hall for half an hour, "I have a nanny in the village who is good at training birds. She sent me this parrot. If you like it, you can take it back to relieve your boredom."

Yu Tingwan was stunned, "You really just showed me the parrot. I thought you wanted to mention it to me again -"

"We won't mention him." Xie Xuan quickly stopped talking and raised her hand: "Don't worry, Princess, I didn't tell Yu Xiuyun either."

The parrot stood on the edge of the table and suddenly began to speak, "Guan Guan Jujiu, in Hezhizhou..."

It finished reading a poem and flew around Xie Xuan proudly after it was over.

"This bird is really interesting." Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and smiled.

"That's natural. My father loved to draw pictures of flowers and birds, so he asked the nanny to raise various birds in the village on the outskirts of Beijing." Xie Xuan squinted her eyes as if remembering something, "This village is my dowry. Before leaving Beijing, I even made a special trip there, and the yard was full of birds.”

Her father had said before that the various rare birds in this village were worth thousands of gold.

"All kinds of things?" Yu Tingwan thought thoughtfully.

"Maybe." Xie Xuan was not sure, "If the princess is curious, we can go there now. There are all my things in the village on the left and right. Take whatever you like."

Yu Tingwan hesitated, "Will I not be able to come back before the curfew?"

"As long as there are no delays on the way, we will definitely be back before dark."

Seeing that she was willing to go out to have fun, Xie Xuan asked her maid to prepare the carriage. The carriage she used was the carriage she brought from Xie's family. It had a gold-topped sandalwood body. It was different from the low-key Pingyang Marquis Mansion. It could be seen at a glance that it was a noble family. The female family members of the family travel.

At that time, people respected Luo Shan first and then others. Xie's carriage could save her a lot of trouble.

Xie Xuan's Zhuangzi talks about whether it is far or not, and whether it is near or not. Fortunately, it is close to the official road and the road is smooth and unobstructed.

"arrive."

Hearing the voice of the woman beside him, Yu Tingwan lifted the curtain of the car and heard the chirping of birds when he got out.

She wore a curtain to hide her appearance. It wasn't until she saw the nanny who was good at training birds that she opened the gauze curtain in front of her and said softly: "Nanny, I want to find..."

She paused and recalled while describing, "Purple tail feathers, the feathers on the side are black, and the tail ends look like snow."

"The eyes, beak and claws are all red, the top of the head is black, and the back of the neck is white."

"That kind of bird seems to be more lively."

Grandma immediately smiled and said, "Isn't it the blue bird that the noble man said?"

The bird Yu Tingwan talked about was so beautiful that everyone said it was the blue bird that delivered messages to the Queen Mother of the West.

"My lord, this kind of bird has a bad temperament. It will protect its nest especially in spring and love to peck people." Grandma advised: "Why don't you choose one with a more docile personality."

"No, just this."

Seeing that the woman in front of her could not be persuaded, the grandma tried her best to pick a good-tempered one from the pile of blue birds and put it in the cage. She did not forget to warn: "The noble man is so good-looking, so you must be extra careful and stay away from it as much as possible." If you stay away, it will be bad if you peck your face."

Xie Xuan stood aside and saw Chen Xing silently taking the birdcage, looking up at the sky and smiling: "Princess, it's time for us to go back."

Yu Tingwan put down the gauze curtain, and had been lost in thought on the road. Suddenly the carriage stopped, and he suddenly leaned forward. He heard the coachman saying doubtfully: "It seems that the road ahead is impassable, and we are blocked by people from Jingzhao Mansion."

This is an official road, how can you block the road at will? Xie Xuan frowned and asked her maid to go ahead and inquire. Only then did she find out that Princess Qiemo had just been stabbed by a Central Plains boy on the road, and the boy ran away.

Jingzhao Yin was one of two big men, and the envoys of the small countries in the Western Regions were killed, so the official channels were not blocked. However, Da Honglu mentioned that the princess's brother seemed to be favored by the King of Wei.

He didn't want to stop Xie's carriage, but said helplessly: "Since the criminal dared to assassinate the princess, he must be a desperado. It's dark now, so it's better for the female family not to pass through here."

"Princess, we can take the small road, but we need to take a longer route." Shen Xing thought of King Wei and felt a little uneasy. "Although the small road is remote, it is flat and uninhabited. The carriage can go faster and return before the curfew."

Xie Xuan knew that the Dragon-Slaying Guard was there, but she was not worried about her safety. She nodded and said, "Just go that way."

The sky was getting darker and darker. Yu Tingwan couldn't help but lift the curtains of the car. His face became paler and paler. He held the hand of the woman beside him and whispered: "Sister-in-law, if you meet King Wei later, you must not get down." car."

"Okay... okay." Xie Xuan responded blankly, knowing what she was afraid of, so she said after careful consideration: "The King of Wei should not be angry."

Yu Tingwan couldn't notice it himself, but the ministers and officials knew that as long as the princess was around, the King of Wei was usually gentler.

"Really?" She thought of the man's extremely angry and cold eyes and mocking tone this morning, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xie Xuan spoke hoarsely and was a little unsure. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly asked: "Princess, do you have a sister? Twins, the kind that look exactly the same."

Suddenly hearing this incomprehensible question, Yu Tingwan opened his eyes slightly and shook his head blankly: "My father has been the only one in the Yu family for three generations, and his family income has always been poor. My brother and I are the only ones in the family."

Xie Xuan asked Yu Xiuyun this question more than once. When asked about his suspicion that she was possessed by a ghost, she gritted her teeth and said after struggling: "In this case, the princess does not have to worry about King Wei treating you badly in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her mouth, as if she had broken some prohibition.

Yu Tingwan just took it as a casual comment, smiled, and didn't take it seriously.

"Princess, there seems to be a carriage parked in the middle of the road ahead." Shen Xing was a little frustrated, why did everything go wrong today.

Beside the simple car, a young man stood motionless and stopped the maid from Pingyang Hou Mansion. He said calmly: "My master is Mr. Baopu. He is practicing here and no one is allowed to disturb him."

The voice was sonorous and resounding, and seemed particularly confident.

Xie Xuan's face turned red with anger, and she pondered whether it was feasible to move out of the Xie family. She was far away from the young man, and her elegant words were mixed with Chen Jun's accent.

"I am Xie's daughter. Sir, can you give way?"

"Who is Mr. Xie?" The young man said arrogantly with a clean look, "My master is watching the sky at night and realizes that there is an opportunity here. It is related to His Majesty the King of Wei. If it is delayed, can you bear it?"

Mr. Baopu practiced both Confucianism and Taoism. In addition to teaching Pei Zhi the Qimen Dunjia, he was also good at divination and fortune-telling.

When he took the initiative to serve the Pei family, the late king was fighting fiercely with Fu Xing. When the news came out, the enemy's morale suddenly collapsed.

When the young man said this, Xie Xuan choked and took a few steps forward. His complexion suddenly changed, he sneezed repeatedly, and then started coughing. Tears covered his face. He covered his nose and said, "Why do you have such a strong pungent smell?"

Xie Xuan's face changed slightly, and she murmured in her heart: "Does this person have a bad nose?"

She made the five-spiced dish the day before yesterday and added more autumn mustard and Polygonum, but how long has it been since? She even smoked incense today.

Yu Tingwan saw that Xie Xuan's face was not good when she came back. He was about to get out of the car, but his wrist was held.

"Princess, Mr. Baopu has a close relationship with the great gentry in the former king's old tribe. He won't even give face to the Xie family, let alone..." Xie Xuan hesitated: "He didn't like Princess Chengyang back then, let alone Princess Chengyang. The Yu family who were once loyal to the princess have a weird temperament and their words are very unpleasant."

How could Yu Tingwan not know this? That time in the study, Mr. Baopu looked at her with unkind eyes.

She did not hesitate and walked towards the young man step by step. The weak moonlight shone on her, making her feel like a pearl covered in dust.

I just want to wait by her side until the sky is bright, get closer, and get closer again, to see what the Ruigong Fairy is in the lower realm, the color of the human world is like dust.

The arrogant-looking young man stayed where he was for a moment, and the woman in front of him opened his mouth, refreshing her soul like the cold spring water.

"Please sir, please send me a message, I——"

Yu Tingwan suddenly paused. The curtain of the carriage opened from the inside, and an old man locked eyes with her like a hawk. It was Mr. Baopu.
