Chu Xiu obediently recuperated at home. Because of the good medicinal properties, after three or four days, his back was no longer sore and his butt hurt, but he didn't want to see the emperor and he didn't go to work in the court.

The emperor took time to visit several times, but every time the emperor hesitated to speak, he didn't know whether he wanted to apologize for that day, or he wanted Chu Xiu to get better soon and return to his dragon bed.

Chu Xiu was afraid that the emperor would make some strange demands, so every time the emperor came, he would pretend to be sick and weak, so the emperor still felt guilty in his heart.

Chu Xiu thought about leaving, and felt sorry for Qin Yue no matter what, everyone was asleep every night, but he still couldn't sleep with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't fall asleep all the time, so he became a little nervous.

The imperial physician came to see him every day, and Chu Xiu was already weak, and now he was suffering from neurasthenia.The imperial doctor followed Chu Xiu's wishes and prescribed a lot of calming medicine, and then went back and exaggerated his condition to the emperor, and Chu Xiu was approved to take sick leave for a period of time.

March [-]th is the Peach Blossom Festival in Taoxi on the northeast slope of Qiongying, Beijing. The courtiers have a two-day holiday, so everyone goes there with their families for a spring outing, enjoying flowers and poetry, having fun with wine, and talking about love... …

For a while, people from the capital flocked to Taoxi, and many foreigners came to visit, and Taoxi became overcrowded. However, this kind of scene is Chu Xiu's favorite.

Chu Xiu was ill and stayed at home for several days. She said that she wanted to go out for a walk and enjoy the breeze. The four maids in the family also wanted to go out to play, so they all agreed, and started preparing for the spring outing a few days in advance.

On the day of the Peach Blossom Festival, early in the morning, a group of five people and a coachman got into a large carriage and went to Taoxi. On the way, they met several adults and their families, and after saying hello, they all walked together.

The luxurious carriage and the handsome young men on horseback attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Feng Yu didn't bring her own family members with her, but she followed the carriage of the master's family on horseback. There were several younger sisters and younger brothers of the Feng family in it. There were also many young people from the Feng family riding on the horses, and many of them followed in the carriage Serving servants and maids, as well as a lot of useful items.

The next head of the Feng family should be 11-year-old Feng You with orthodox blood. The 11-year-old child has already behaved very calmly.After greeting the adults, they sat in the carriage and looked out the window silently.

Arriving at the Taoxi River, there are peach trees all along the river, as well as on the hillside by the river. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of thousands of peach trees competing to bloom. This is a sea of ​​flowers. With the breeze blowing, the petals are flying every now and then. , the whole world is pink, graceful like a fairyland.

The sun shines on the peach trees, on the grass and wild flowers, on people's faces, and on the Taoxi River. The river water is shining brightly, and the world is extremely bright.

On this day, everyone regardless of their status can travel together, and it is even a blind date meeting. Many people express their hearts to each other on this day, and people from different classes can also confess to each other. Parents don’t care about it on this day.

Looking at the peach blossoms all over the world, Chu Xiu thought of going to Leyang Mountain with the emperor and Qin Yue last year. At that time, he passed by here. At that time, his heart was still full of infinite longing for the future, but at this time, his heart was already desolate.

Along the Taoxi River, many people spread cloth or mats under the peach trees on the bank of the river, and sit on the ground, watching the peach blossoms follow the water, chatting and eating, and many children are playing among the peach trees.

After all, he is a son of a nobleman, and the place has already been selected by the servants and tidied up.

Chu Xiu was followed by four maids, who originally brought mats and snacks, but because they arrived a little late, all the good places were taken up, and it was hard to find a place, so they went with them.

The Feng family chose a platform on a small slope, facing the sun, with tall peach trees and green grass, and one could clearly see the Taoxi River not far away.It is relatively quiet here, with mats laid out on the floor, low table cushions, preserved fruit, snacks and tea are also placed, and silk curtains are even wrapped around to preserve privacy.

The area around Feng's house was also occupied by several other high-ranking officials. The men talked calmly, while the women laughed and laughed. The laughter passed through the petals and spread far and far.

After a while, there will be a performance in the Taoxi River. There will be a flower boat carrying singers, dancers and musicians to perform on the boat. Dancers and musicians, this money is even allocated by the state government, so that ordinary people can enjoy the art of music and dance that they usually cannot enjoy.

Some talented people by the river will also organize poetry competitions and painting competitions, and women can also participate. Everyone will show their talents and want to show their most glorious self at the meeting.

Chu Xiu and a group of talented scholars went to visit the poetry and painting fair and inquired about the situation, while the women stayed in the curtains to talk and chat. There were also those who were good at melody playing the piano and playing the piano, which attracted a group of people to linger.

Because there are so many people on the Peach Blossom Festival, when we walked to the river, it was the first flower boat that slowly descended from top to bottom. In the fragrant wind, there were beautiful dancers dancing elegantly, and some musicians played music like heavenly sounds. In the sky, I can't tell the difference at this time.

It was at this time that Chu Xiu was squeezed out of the team. When a group of more than a dozen people returned to the resting place, they found that there was one person missing. What happened to their son, how they explained to the emperor, and whether they can save their lives in the end is unknown.

The Feng family sent a few servants to look for it. They thought that Chu Xiu would not be lost as an adult and would come back by herself after a while, but they didn't expect to see no one at lunch time.Yinxiang Xiyuan was even more anxious, and wanted to find her son by herself, so the Feng family sent all the guards and servants, and the Li family next to them also sent people to help find her.

However, there are so many people in Taoxi River, Chu Xiu deliberately got lost, how could he find only a few dozen people.

In the evening, everyone went home one after another with the sunset. The people of the Feng family were extremely busy and anxious. They even asked for help from Jing Zhaoyin, who maintained the law and order. .

Xiyuan, the head of the four maids, felt as cold as ice, so she held back her tears and rode to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

The emperor quickly sent people to look for it, but the people who admired the flowers in Taoxi flowed in all directions, and tens of thousands of people had gone in all directions.

Perhaps it was because Chu Xiu performed so well in the past few days and did not mention the incident of being violated by the emperor that day. After the emperor heard the news of Chu Xiu's disappearance, his first reaction was not that he was hijacked, but that he ran away. The checkpoint set up a barrier and vowed to bring him back.

Speaking of which, Chu Xiu didn't leave at all. After she got lost, she took off her outer shirt in a hurry, and she was wearing a blue shirt inside. She was confused and went to the place Feng Yu arranged, which was near the city. A tea house at the door, entered the inner room and changed into a maid's dress.As soon as the clothes were changed, Feng Yu came, and when she saw Chu Xiu's appearance, she even laughed at him, saying that his face was so blurred that it was incomparable to the ladies in the curtain, so she was kicked by Chu Xiu With one kick, he came to comb Chu Xiu's hair in a bun and make a face change.

After Chu Xiu was dressed up, she took a basket of snacks and went out through the back door. There was a carriage from Feng's family outside, and it was there to deliver lunch to those who enjoyed the flowers in Taoxi.

Chu Xiu's identity also became Feng Yu's accompanying maid, and Feng Yu's real maid left the capital and went south to Feng's home. When Chu Xiu wants to get away, Feng Yu can also directly say let her go. When the maid returns to her home, she doesn't have to worry about revealing her identity.

So Chu Xiu brought some snacks to Taoxi, and stood in the curtain of Feng's house, serving the young ladies and masters inside, watching the guards and servants looking for him everywhere.

Seeing his four maids running around in a hurry, he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't want to go back, so he could only be cruel.
