Jingmen Fengyue

Chapter 233 Planning (1)
"If such a portrait is painted, it will be no wonder that people's hearts are not moved. Even if there is a three-point idea, I'm afraid it will become a ten-point!" Qin Lian suddenly lowered his head and muttered.

Although her voice was shallow, Xie Fanghua listened carefully.She narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked, "You want to paint for me?"

Qin Lian suddenly raised her head again, looked at Xie Fanghua, stared and said, "Why are your ears so sensitive?"

Xie Fanghua looked at her calmly, "You'd better tell the truth about your purpose of coming to me today, otherwise I won't have any trouble ensuring that wherever I appear in the future, you will disappear far away." Lian didn't take it seriously, and added, "If I marry into Prince Ying's mansion in the future, then...you won't be able to return home. Perhaps, it's even stricter than your brother's ban on you."

Qin Lian pointed at her, raised her brows angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

Xie Fanghua looked at her calmly.

"You are really a woman my brother values. No matter what virtues you have on the outside, even this black heart is worthy of him." Qin Lian gritted her teeth, "So what if I tell you? It's not a secret that cannot be told." After the words fell, she showed her cards, "I received a letter from Brother Qin Yu's Feiying this morning, asking for a portrait of you. I didn't see you clearly that day, so I came to take a closer look at you today."

Xie Fanghua frowned, Qin Yu...

On New Year's Eve, her brother received a letter from Mobei Wuwei General's uncle, revealing Qin Yu's intention to marry her.

Today Qin Lian received a letter from Qin Yu, the Fourth Prince of the Mobei Military Camp, asking for a portrait of her.

It is also the Flying Eagle transmission letter, the date difference is no more than two days, that is to say, it was sent out two days later.

That day when her elder brother saw the letter from Feiying, he immediately wrote back to his uncle, spreading the news that she and Qin Zheng were married.Feiying will arrive at the Mobei military camp in ten days at the earliest, which means that Mobei's uncle and Qin Yu don't know the news of the marriage at this time.

"Hey, why are you silent all of a sudden?" Qin Lian stared at Xie Fanghua closely after telling her today's purpose, not missing any movement from her. Seeing that she knew her today's purpose, she sat quietly for a long time. I couldn't help but speak.

Xie Fanghua lifted her head slightly, looked at Qin Lian's charming and pure face, and said calmly, "Your brother and I are married by imperial decree."

Qin Lian snorted, "Of course I know that you and my brother have been married by imperial decree. I'm not the only one who knows, it's almost spread all over Nanqin now!"

"In two days, it can only spread thousands of miles around, and it still can't spread thousands of miles away." Xie Fanghua looked at her and reminded, "The military camps guarding the border in Mobei can't spread the news. Now I'm afraid I don’t know yet.”

"So what's the matter? It will be passed on sooner or later." Qin Lian didn't think so, and didn't think there was anything to say about it.

Xie Fanghua tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the ancient wooden tabletop made a low sound. She said blankly, "The portraits of women, especially the portraits of boudoir women who have already been engaged, are passed on to men who are not my fiancé. What, you have been raised by the queen for many years, and you will never know."

Qin Lian was taken aback for a moment, then snorted, "What's the matter then? In the southern Qin Dynasty, our country is open and the folk customs are open. It's not uncommon to have romantic affairs. It's also a matter of someone seeing or collecting a portrait of a lady's boudoir. The matter of Fengyue. There are many such things, and you are not the first, nor the last."

"What if your brother finds out? What do you think he will do?" Xie Fanghua raised his eyebrows.

Qin Lian's complexion changed, and he stared at him immediately, "Xie Fanghua, don't you dislike my brother? Are you afraid that he will know?"

"I'm not afraid that he will know, but even if I don't like him, I don't like my portrait being drawn casually." Xie Fanghua stood up slowly, and said with a bit of sternness, "Besides, I am such a dignified person." Rong, do you think that since I know your purpose, I will let you spread the word?"

"Can you stop me?" Qin Lian disdainfully.

"You can try it!" Xie Fanghua turned and walked back.

Qin Lian immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to hold her, frowned and said, "I promised Brother Qin Yu, a man can't keep his word. I don't think Brother Qin Yu would look down on you for such an honor. The rumors about you in the middle became more heated, involving Yanting, Yongkanghoufu, and Fanyang Lu's family, and the rumors spread to Mobei, so he is just curious about you. What are you afraid of?"

Xie Fanghua stopped in her tracks and looked at Qin Lian quietly through the veil.

Qin Lian was watched by Xie Fanghua. Although she was separated by the veil, she suddenly felt a chilly feeling of being stripped from head to toe by her eyes. She couldn't help but took a step back and looked at her timidly, " What are you talking about, looking at me like this?"

Xie Fanghua looked away, turned around and continued to leave without speaking.

Qin Lian took a step forward, just about to grab Xie Fanghua again, but withdrew her hand, stomped her foot and said, "Xie Fanghua, isn't it just a portrait? Why are you so stingy!"

Xie Fanghua ignored her and left the Haitang Pavilion.

Walking to the door, the waiter happened to come with a pot of wine. Seeing Xie Fanghua walk out of the Begonia Pavilion, he asked softly, "Miss, why did you come out? This wine..."

"Princess Lian wants to cook crabapple with warm wine, go and serve it to her!" Xie Fanghua ordered.

The waiter took a look inside and saw Qin Lian standing in the Begonia Pavilion with an angry face, she nodded and walked in with the wine.When he came to Qin Lian, he asked her neither humble nor overbearing, "Princess Lian, the wine is here, do you want to continue warming the wine and cooking crabapple here, or follow my lady back to the room?"

"Boil the crabapple with warm wine! Go and pick some crabapple flowers for me." Qin Lian took the wine and put it on the stove.

Waiter Hua nodded, followed her instructions, walked to a crabapple tree, reached out to pick a bunch of crabapple, went to the stove, and handed it to her.

"Take it and wash it! If you don't wash it, just put it inside and it will be dirty." Qin Lian said angrily.

Shi Hua looked at her and explained, "Princess Huilian, the begonias in our mansion's Begonia Pavilion are the cleanest, especially after being baptized by frost and dew overnight after fearing the severe cold for a long time, they are the most fragrant. If they are washed with water, the fragrance will be turbid. It fell off a lot. Are you sure you want to wash it?"

"Then put it in!" Qin Lian frowned, pointing to the jug.

Waiter Hua lifted the lid of the jug, and put a handful of crabapple petals into the wine.

As soon as it was put in, the faint aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of crabapple wafted out.

Qin Lian took a deep breath, stared greedily at the alcohol-smelling flagon on the stove, and said, "Xie Fanghua is not a very good person, but the begonias in this courtyard are really good! Good things are all done to the best of their ability. was enjoyed by her."

Shi Hua stood aside, Qin Lian didn't bring her maid, and Miss didn't tell her to go back just now, so she could only stand by and wait for her.
