Fragrance Returned

Xunxiang glanced at Eunuch Li, who was hunched even lower, and said, "Liang Tu and Su are so bad. Fortunately, they are dead."

Queen Ye said, "As I said before, court affairs are men's business. Xiangxiang is a smart child. She doesn't care about things that shouldn't be done. Don't say what you shouldn't say. Don't violate the taboos of your tongue." Her voice was lowered. , "Stay away from those people and just listen to the emperor's words."

Xunxiang Nuonuo said, "You still have to listen to the Queen's grandmother."

Queen Ye was very pleased. Although the child was young, he was much smarter and more understanding than Dongyang. Even if he died early, that stupid girl would not be plotted against.

Without the trouble-making Sixth Princess and Cai Jiahui, the atmosphere in Jingfangzhai was much more harmonious, and even the aunt and husband in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Shanzhu has been in a state of excitement. He was both happy that Gao Huajing was no longer noisy and happy that he had escaped punishment.

If Xunxiang directly conveyed her words to the emperor, she would be punished like the Sixth Princess. She had been prepared for this before.

She suddenly felt that Xun Xiang was pretty good except for her flattering appearance which made people uncomfortable.

She also gave Xunxiang several matryoshka dolls made by Fusang.

"These dolls are my favorite, so I give them to you. From now on, I will bring Ding Zhen to Prince Qi's Mansion to play with me. She will be your handkerchief, which is also my handkerchief."

Condescending to be like a handkerchief to Ding Zhen is her greatest sincerity to Xun Xiang.

When Xunxiang returned home at around noon, Jin'er said that Feifei had gone out to play yesterday morning and hadn't come back yet.

Since the beginning of winter, Feifei has become more and more irritable and restless, often opening his mouth wide and howling.

Xunxiang guessed that it wanted to go back to its home in Jitou Peak again.

Xunxiang still didn't dare to let it fly such a long distance by itself. Yun promised, "Grandpa is going back to Beiquan Village in the twelfth lunar month. You go back with him."

Neither Ding Zhao nor Xun Xiang wanted Ding Zhuang to travel such a long distance in the cold weather, but Ding Zhuang had to go back to "visit" Ru Yue and talk to her, so they had no choice but to let him.

Feifei didn't howl anymore. Whenever Xunxiang went out without him, or was too busy to accompany him, he would fly out to visit by himself. As little as one day, as much as two or three days.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and the wind was blowing.

After Xunxiang was busy, she went to Qijin Hall for lunch.

The main hall is as warm as spring, with a faint fragrance floating around.

At the end of the curtain, Dongyang was leaning on the beauty's couch with his eyes closed, and the girl was gently tapping her legs.

Xunxiang felt that it would not be long before Dongyang turned to Buddha beads.

Apart from admiring flowers and talking about clothes and jewelry with a few relatives, she had no other hobbies.

The man's son and daughter are not only busy, but they are also not close to her.

This kind of day-to-day life is meaningless no matter how wealthy you are.

However, although Dongyang is not very likable, she is pretty good compared to some princesses. Some princesses like to find trouble when they have nothing to do, and even torture others, making their consort, husband's family, and servants miserable.

"mother."

Xunxiang's waxy voice broke the silence.

Dongyang opened his eyes, smiled and invited Xunxiang to sit on the couch.

"At the end of the month, the Xiyang Princess Mansion will hold a plum blossom banquet to test your talents. Xiyang hopes you will paint a painting."

This is what Princess Xiyang asked Dongyang for. If the talent competition can produce a good work, whether it is a poem, a painting or a good song, the person who hosted the banquet will have more face.

Noble ladies have nothing to do, and they are willing to make a splash in these things.

Shen Ying also begged Xunxiang, but Xunxiang made excuses to refuse. She didn't like that kind of occasion.

"Mom, I'm very busy. I haven't finished the paintings I promised, and I still need to read the published books..."

"Can't we just delay it for a day? Mother has already promised to Xiyang."

Xunxiang still shook his head.

Dongyang's face darkened, and he said half-smilingly, "If your Ding family's grandfather, father, and mother asked you to do something, would you refuse?"

Xunxiang wanted to say that if the Ding family's grandfather, father, and mother were to embarrass her, they would first refuse.

He explained, "Mom, think about it, if I go this time, what other banquets will I ask for? Going to this house or that house will offend people, and I won't have time to go to every house. Next year, at our house's peony banquet , I paint.”

Dongyang thought about it, Xiangxiang only painted at her own peony banquet, and also highlighted the high standard of the peony banquet. Moreover, next year, there will be another Yimei who will quit due to her old age, and Xiangxiang will definitely be selected.

Dongyang became happy again.

In the evening, only Xunxiang and Dongyang ate.

Prince Consort Xun asked someone to come back and say that he had some entertainment.

Dongyang has become accustomed to Prince Consort Xun not coming to Qijin Hall for dinner or rest most of the time. She felt that this year had been very good, at least the prince-in-law didn't go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Xunxiang spent more time meeting Xun's consort than Dongyang. Xun Xiang would occasionally go to Sipin Study Room to read, and would call Xun Xiang over to drink tea and discuss knowledge.

After dinner, Xunxiang sat with Dongyang for a while before returning to Ziyuan.

It was already dark, with snow flying all over the sky, and a row of lanterns on the porch were swaying in the wind.

Jin'er came out and smiled and said, "Princess, Feifei is back. He has a bamboo tube tied to his leg and there is a note in the bamboo tube."

"Note?"

Xunxiang was very interested and walked into the house in a few steps.

Feifei was still angry at her little master for not taking him out to play, and pointed his hindquarters at her.

Jin'er handed the small bamboo tube to Xun Xiang, "When I saw the writing on the note, I didn't dare to read it, so I stuffed it in again."

Xunxiang took it out and found two rows of words.

The first row of characters was in small regular script. The handwriting Xunxiang recognized was that of Sun Yumu.

Sun Yumu was testing Feifei and only wrote a row of specious words:

He came to my house yesterday and left with me this morning. I don’t know if he will return on time.

Twenty-four Yin hours and three quarters.

Today is the twenty-fourth. Sun and Mu's shift change time in the morning is at 3:30, and they must leave Sun's mansion at 3:30 to rush to the palace.

The words in the second row are powerful and powerful. Xunxiang has also seen them. They were written by Master Mingyuan:

I came to my place at Yinshi this morning and left at 2:00pm.

Twenty-four noon.

The little thing actually went to the place where the old monk was practicing in seclusion.

Xunxiang heard from the young monk that the place where the old monk retreated was called "Xuandong", but he didn't know where it was.

The little thing went to Sun Mansion to play for a day and a night yesterday, and today he went to Xuandong for half a day. When you come back at this time, you should go to the mountains to catch prey.

When Sun Yumu wrote this note, he must have asked him to come back directly, but the little thing was disobedient and went to play in Xuandong and the mountains.

Now there is no problem with Feifei's IQ in delivering messages, but it only listens to Xun Xiang's words now. It also listens to Ding Zhuang, Ding Zhao, Ding Lichun, Ling'er and others, but not Jin'er.

It likes to eat the meat of the Sun family and the Qiu family, but will not listen to them unless it is very happy or wants something from them.

At night, Xunxiang trotted around the house again. Don't dream today, break out a thin layer of sweat and give the little thing some benefits.

Feifei saw her master like this and jumped onto the bed happily.

After that, Xunxiang and Sun Yumu will pass the note through Feifei, intending to train it to send messages.

Feifei absolutely listened to Xun Xiang's words and delivered the note to Sun Yumu on time every time.
