Spring Forest Evening

"Horse head?" Now Zhou Heng was completely shocked, and immediately stood up from the stone bench he was sitting on, and walked directly in front of Shen Fu, with an unbelievable expression on his face, and even his words were a bit incoherent:

"Horse head?! Gosh, you, you, did you see it? Didn't you...?!"

Seeing the anxious look, Shen Fu wanted to sigh a little, so he stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, and whispered softly:

"Aheng, it's not it!"

"Oh." The light of hope in Zhou Heng's eyes suddenly dimmed, and his tone sounded very disappointed: "I think so, how can we find it so easily..."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but sighed deeply, then raised his head and said to Shen Fu with a wry smile like self-deprecating:

"The three princesses probably had a grudge against me in the previous life, and they knew that I was looking for the horse head, so they came here to disgust me, right?"

Shen Fu didn't let go of the hand that was on Zhou Heng's shoulder just now. Hearing what she said now, while explaining to her, he walked over and hugged her shoulder without any trace. The lotus leaves in front of the waterside pavilion stand side by side:

"Aheng, the horse head that the third princess wants is a real horse head, not a jade carving. She said she has wanted it for a long time, and hopes to use it as the town house treasure and family heirloom of the princess mansion in the future."

"After listening to her request, the emperor not only readily agreed, but also asked someone to fetch it for the third princess on the spot. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the skull of Emperor Wu's mount. It was also carefully collected before coming here. I saw the situation at that time, and most of them were present. The princes, ministers and even the empress dowager have never seen it before, so I think the emperor is here to let everyone pay their respects."

"When the Empress Dowager heard that it was a relic of Emperor Wu, she immediately stood up and said that the emperor loved the third princess too much, saying that this reward was too precious, but the emperor and the third princess wanted to give it to each other, but the empress dowager also reluctantly agreed. "

Reluctantly agree?Zhou Heng curled his lips when he heard this, why does he feel that the empress dowager is full of drama?Or to be more precise, the mother and daughter of the Queen Mother and the Three Princesses colluded to act in a play, right?

As the final victor of the palace fight, would the empress dowager not know about this treasure?I don't know if the emperor saw it.

Anyway, Shen Fu didn't see it.

Zhou Heng curled his lips and said nothing. Since this horse's head is not that horse's head, then today's matter has nothing to do with him, so don't talk too much.

Shen Fu was talking to the lotus leaves that were faintly visible in front of him at this moment, and he didn't notice the expression on Zhou Heng's face, and continued to tell her what he saw in the palace today. He also likes the skull of a horse, it is not an ordinary horse's skull, it is a relic of Emperor Wu:

"Emperor Wu can be said to be unprecedented, surpassing countless men in the world. I only know that her mount was given by Emperor Gaozong today after hearing what the emperor said. 'Great Wind', following her in the north and south, can be regarded as a great military exploit."

"So when he died later, Emperor Wu was very reluctant to give up, so he buried her body in the imperial tomb, but the skull was kept on her imperial case. For this purpose, a base was specially made, and it was written by Emperor Wu himself. The word 'strength of character'."

"The emperor said all these in person in front of everyone. He also said that the three princesses know the goods. The word 'strength of character' on the base, because I am not far away, the emperor probably noticed it, and specially allowed me to go up." Looking at it carefully, Emperor Wu's calligraphy is powerful and magnificent, and the horse's head is raised to the sky, and I looked at it, and the princes are quite envious."

So it turned out that Zhou Heng didn't feel disappointed at the moment, and took the opportunity to stab the third princess with a bit of sourness:

"What are you doing? Does she want to imitate Emperor Wu's style? Tsk, after getting the relic of Emperor Wu, you think that someone who will come later refers to her?"

Shen Fu was dumbfounded by her words immediately, the associative force is too rich, and thanks to the fact that there are no people around now, such words can't be said nonsense, but it didn't mean that there were no princesses and emperors in her previous place, so don't worry about it, that's all. , then just remind her a little bit:

"That's the end of it! To achieve great things, you must have the right time, place, and people. Although Emperor Wu was a genius, the situation at that time was also special. Now the emperor is in the midst of spring and autumn, the world is in peace, and there are four princes under his knees. Princess, that's just his imperial sister, so it's impossible!"

Zhou Heng didn't say anything after hearing this. She understood the reason and also knew that the three princesses were deeply favored by the emperor.

The two stood silently for a while, Shen Fu looked outside, and remembered that he seemed to see a few lotus buds in the past two days, thinking of this, he turned around and walked to the stone table, took the lantern, and said to Zhou Heng :

"I saw a few flower buds yesterday, see if you can find them, if there are, pick them up later, take them back to your house and put them in a vase, they may bloom tomorrow morning."

Sure enough, not far from the hydrophilic platform, there was a flower bud that looked like it was about to open soon, so Shen Fu picked it off and handed it to Zhou Heng. Shi is still silent, thinking that she must be very disappointed, but there is no other way, so he stroked her shoulder and comforted her softly:

"Don't think too much, we have been out for some time, go back and rest early!"

"Also," Shen Fu saw that she was looking downcast with her head down, paused for a moment, and decided to advance one of the later arrangements:

"Today's Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor is considerate of everyone's holiday, and the rest of the day after tomorrow is specially rescheduled to tomorrow. If you want, or tomorrow we can go out for a stroll?"

Ever since she came back from Zhongnan Road, she has been living here by the Shangyun Pool and has no time to go out.

"What are you shopping for?" Zhou Heng still lowered his head, not seeing Shen Fu's distressed expression.

"Why don't you go outside to enjoy the flowers? I didn't pay much attention to this garden before, but now I only have this lotus to see." Shen Fu lowered his head and looked at her cautiously, but Zhou Heng was a little shorter than him. Only her side face can be seen, which is shiny and transparent under the not-so-bright lights:

"Or, we can also find a restaurant. I heard from you last time that the peach blossom fish in Zhongnan Road tastes pretty good. Although this capital city can't make peach blossom fish, it is quite difficult to find a restaurant that specializes in freshwater fish. Home is doing well, how is it?"

It's all said to this point, Zhou Heng is not an innocent girl, so I don't know how he wants to comfort her mind, Shen Fu, the dignified Prince Jing, is not close to him, but can be so considerate of himself , If you want to reject this good intention, it is really unreasonable.

However, just because she is not an innocent girl, Zhou Heng also knows that traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival should be celebrated with family members. It may be that the emperor intends to show his favor, but tomorrow is a special rest day, so he must visit relatives and friends, right?

For example, to visit his sister's house to see the nephews?

I heard from Chun Yu and the others that Shen Fu loved the two young masters of the Marquis of Weiyuan very much, and visited them a lot on weekdays. Even now, Shangyunchi is a place for children to come and play in summer. title.

In this way, he could only brush off his good intentions, so Zhou Heng raised his head to face Shen Fu with an expectant look and cruelly refused:

"That's in the future! It's rare that the holidays and holidays are together, I think, or you should go to the princess's house to see the two young masters? These days you are busy with my affairs, anyway There will be plenty of time to go out in the future, it’s not too late, don’t you think so?”

Shen Fu was very disappointed when he heard it at first, but after hearing it, especially the sentence "There is plenty of time", he felt very comfortable in his heart. After thinking about it, he decided to follow her wishes. Guy, it’s true that I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I miss you so much. Besides, it’s a big festival, and it’s not too appropriate if people see you, who claims to be keeping a filial piety, walking around with a “servant”:

"Since that's the case, let's wait for two days to talk about it. Anyway, I have someone open a corner gate at the wall along the street. You can go out for a stroll if you have time in the future."

"Jiamen?" Zhou Heng heard this, and immediately asked, "Where is it?"

After asking about the location of the corner gate, Zhou Heng decided: "Since tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, it should be very lively outside. Well, otherwise, I want to go out for a stroll by myself." After coming here, I have never been here. When you go shopping by yourself.

As for Shen Fu, when he heard her saying that he wanted to go out for a stroll by himself, he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and agreed: "Alright, let Chun Yu and the others accompany you to go out for a stroll, bring some extra money, and buy whatever you want."

"No, I mean, I'm going out by myself." The more Zhou Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea, and his tone sounded very excited and expectant: "On my own, I don't need Chuntao and Chunyu to accompany me. "

"No," Shen Fu refused straight away, and for this reason he turned his head and explained to her seriously: "You are yourself, but you are also the young lady of the Zhou family. Don't say that a rich young lady never goes out alone, so you come here. How long has it been? How much do you know about this world? This matter is not negotiable!"

All right, since that's the case, Zhou Heng had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Then I'll bring Chunyu!" Forget Chuntao, a little girl, don't have to be taken away by him, and Chunyu has kung fu.

Afterwards, the two reached an agreement: Chun Yu went out with Zhou Heng, and Chun Tao was in charge of guarding the corner door and waiting for them to come back.

For this reason, after returning to Liufeng Pavilion, facing the clear eyes of Chuntao's little maid, Zhou Heng also felt a little guilty. He only explained that the Japanese were going out to do some errands, which was a bit risky, so they only needed Chunyu to follow. Although Shen Fu didn't point it out, he couldn't help but turned his back when he heard it.

It sounds like the truth, and it's a bit risky. It's obviously going out for shopping.

However, I still had to cooperate with her, so I coughed lightly and then told Chuntao who was kept in the dark: "Then you have to guard the door, Miss Biao will definitely come back before the time is announced," said while signaling with her eyes After leaving Zhou Heng, seeing her nodding her head, she continued to instruct the little maid again: "If Miss Biao hasn't come back by then, you can go to the outer study and talk to Mu Yun, do you understand?"

It seems that the matter of Miss Biao tomorrow is really risky, Chuntao is a little worried, and at the same time feels that her task of guarding the gate is very important, so she nodded to Shen Fu with a serious face: "Don't worry, my lord, this servant will follow your orders! "

These words made Chunyu unconsciously a little nervous, so before going to sleep, she deliberately avoided Chuntao and asked Zhou Heng to ask him quietly. When she learned the truth, she went out shopping. I still have a little more fun for playing tomorrow.

Regarding this, Zhou Heng felt: "Oh, it's okay, let's buy her more food then, just don't let her slip up when I come back!"

It's better than letting the little maid know the "cruel" truth.

In this way, Chun Yu, who understands what she knows, is also happily looking forward to going out for the next day with her...
