Qingqiu is difficult

Chapter 21 The heroine spares her life
This was the first time for Yu Jingmo to attend such a banquet as a royal family member.

The chrysanthemum banquet was postponed for another ten days due to the princess's personal affairs. Although there was no way to wait for the flowering period, what couldn't be done with the royal family's order?

Before leaving, his old servant Rendong asked him to change into luxurious clothes many times, but he sternly refused every time.

"I told you not to attract attention! The grown-up man looks like a butterfly in his colorful clothes!"

Ling Dong sighed: "Sir, don't tell me that your current status is the future heir of our Prince Yi family. Even if you are an ordinary prince, it would be too shabby to attend a party with girls!"

After spitting out the melon seed skins in his mouth, Yu Jingmo said nonchalantly: "Stop it, I only agreed to help you with your large-scale activities and pretend to be your son, and I didn't say that I would sell myself for you to get married! I am a charming and suave man, in case any girl sees it. It won’t end well if you get involved.”

After hearing this, Ling Dong couldn't force himself anymore, so he just let out a long sigh, and then walked in and out alone, lamenting the misfortune of the third young master's youth.

Yu Jingmo came here on behalf of Prince Yi's brother. The Prince Yi family has been absent from such scenes for many years, and people have long been accustomed to it, so no one cares about it.No one in the room knew him, so he walked alone in the back garden.

I don’t know what happened to the princess that someone had been thinking about so much.

The autumn wind is blowing, the yellow leaves are flying, and the meaning of late autumn is even stronger.In the backyard of the elegant and exquisite princess mansion, a man wearing a blue and white embroidered robe walked through the rockery waving a fan.

Xiao Cong looked around for Xin Yi with a plate of pastries.

"It's really strange. Where has my son and princess gone now? I'll have to talk to her when the banquet starts later."

But Xin Yi can be seen everywhere.

She just felt empty in her stomach. She had been busy all morning and didn't even have a bite to eat.Looking at the plate full of pastries, there were three square layers, and the one at the top seemed to be waving to her hungry belly.

Xiao Cong swallowed: "Generally, pastries have two or three layers. Today, there are usually five at the bottom and three at the top. This one has one extra layer. Isn't it reserved for me? "

As she said that, she smiled, looked around and saw no one, then quickly picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Who doesn’t love this sweet, soft and glutinous taste?

"Girl...girl..." A fan gently tapped Xiao Cong's shoulder.

Soon enough, she quickly took the pastry plate away from her body, turned around and grabbed the man's arm, then kicked the man's knee down and knocked the man to the ground with her backhand.

"Ah - ah - ah -" Yu Jingmo screamed in pain. This woman looked weak and delicate, with a thin and tender neck, how could she be so strong!
"Woman, spare your life!!!"

Xiao Cong pressed his knee on Jingmo's back: "Who are you? Tell me, why did you come to the princess's house?"

If they were ordinary princes' children, how could she not have seen them before?The man in front of me was a stranger and was dressed in rags. He must have gotten in here from nowhere!

Yu Jingmo was about to cry but had no tears: "Xia Xia! This is the third son of Wang Yi's family! It's the first time I've come to the princess's mansion today and I'm a little lost. I came here specifically to ask for directions from Xia Xia!"

The Yiwang family?
Xiao Cong thought for a moment, then suddenly reacted and hurriedly took his knees off the man's body, stepped aside, clutched the plate tightly, bent down at a right angle to apologize, and did not dare to raise his head again:
"Slave...servant...I'm sorry! Go straight down this road and turn right at the next intersection!"

Damn it, I beat the prince of the Yi family to the ground!This is a life I cannot bear to look at!
Yu Jingmo stood up with force, but there were already a few blood marks on his chin. He only felt a burning pain, and his eyes were soaked with a layer of water unconsciously. He covered his chin and glanced at Xiao Cong fiercely, and then He walked back to the banquet angrily.

After a while, Huazhuhualu came over and saw Xiao Cong, who was holding on to the rockery and covering his face, sighing:
"What's wrong, Sister Cong? It's so busy in front, what are you doing here?"

With a long sigh, Xiao Cong raised his head and glanced at the sky.

"Erhua, maid, this is a risky job!"

Erhua raised her head and looked up at the sky for a long time, but saw nothing. She felt confused. When she looked down again, there was no trace of Xiao Cong anywhere.

-

Looking at the colorful, noble and well-behaved princes and ladies in front of him, Xin Yi coughed twice to adjust himself.

But the focus of everyone's attention, except for Xin Yi, who was aloof, everyone's eyes secretly bypassed Xin Yi and looked at Tu Shansong behind her.

Although the wound had not yet healed, and the torture had damaged his muscles and bones, it was inevitable that he would have a slight limp when he walked, but he did not want to lie in the room and just wanted to go out for a walk.

Xin Yi lowered his head in embarrassment and smiled shyly:

"Gu, I know everyone has noticed, Gu, the injury on his face is already healed!" Everyone was a little crazy looking at Tu Shansong. When Xin Yi finished speaking, no one looked away. .

Xiao Cong cleared his throat very loudly, and then everyone hurriedly toasted and congratulated:

"Congratulations to the princess. The beauty of her country is even more beautiful than the flowers today."

Xin Yi lowered his head and touched his cheek shyly.

Just when everyone was toasting to celebrate the princess, Xin Yi noticed that there was one person who always covered his face with his sleeves, tilted his head, and avoided showing anyone.

She felt strange, got up and left the table, walked around to the man, and made a special trip to clink glasses with him.

The man was startled, but then nodded, put the cup back into his sleeve, covered his face and drank it all in one gulp.

Xin Yi: "This brother is so nice. I wonder whose brother he is from?"

Feeling that the eyes all around were searching for him, Yu Jingmo finally became a little unbearable and couldn't hold on any longer, so he took off his sleeves and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Princess, I'm from Jingmo, Prince Yi's Mansion."

Xin Yi's brain felt as if it was exploding. She stared blankly at the man in front of her, and her thoughts suddenly returned to that day on the stone bridge. The man at the entrance of the stone bridge pulled her over and bit her neck hard, making him hit. Isn't this the face of the man who was poisoned by snake venom?

She staggered and lost her balance, almost falling. Yu Jingmo was startled and hurriedly went to help her, but unexpectedly, a hand came one step ahead of him.

Tu Shansong stood behind her at some point, held Xin Yi's arm with one hand, and said softly:
"Princess, be careful."

A trace of loneliness slipped through Jingmo's eyes, but joy immediately filled his face.

"Princess, I... have been living in the mansion for a long time, and my complexion is inevitably a bit worse, which frightens the princess."

Looking at the injured chin, Xin Yi held Tu Shansong's arm:

"You...your teeth...open your mouth and let me see your teeth."

Everyone present, including Yu Jingmo, was stunned, but no one dared to resist the princess's will, so he could only smile unnaturally and spread his teeth.

That mouthful of Qibei, where are the terrifying fangs from that day?

Xin Yi looked away, thinking that maybe it had been a long time and she had misremembered the person. After all, she was blind, so she said: "Maybe I misjudged him. Brother Wang is a talented person, and I am rude."

Yu Jingmo coughed, and in a blink of an eye he saw Tu Shansong standing there like a dead man. He couldn't help but get excited about playing, and pretended to be aggrieved:
"Sister, this is not rude at all. Look at Brother Wang with this color on his face. He was injured the first time he came back to the Princess's Mansion. This is called rude! I don't think we are welcome in the Princess' Mansion, otherwise why would everything be unsatisfactory!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to the side in aggrieved manner.

Xin Yi was a little helpless, but still generously comforted:
"Okay, Third Brother, why aren't you welcome? From now on, you can come to the Princess Mansion whenever you want. There is no need to pass the news!"

"Thank you, sister!" As if he was afraid of going back on his word, Yu Jingmo thanked him immediately and raised his eyebrows at Tu Shansong to show his victory.

Boy, let me show you the power of Big Brother's snake venom.

As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine, handed it to Xin Yi, raised another glass, and said:
"Princess, come here, we meet you for the first time today. Brother Wang will give you a toast alone!"

Just as he was about to take it, a sword suddenly lay between the two of them. Xin Yi was startled, but saw the sword poke away Yu Jingmo's wine. Xiao Cong said with an upright face:
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but the princess never drinks what is handed to her."

As she spoke, she took out a wine glass from her waist, took a small pot of sake from Hualu's hand, poured it and handed it to Xin Yi.

Seeing Yu Jingmo's dumbfounded expression, a casual smile flashed across Tu Shansong's eyes.
