royal girl

Chapter 90 Confrontation
"I came earlier and went to the Buddhist monastery to rest for a while, who knew I overslept." Huiyu looked at Xia Bingyu with some embarrassment, and then glanced at the vacant space opposite the chess table, "Why is Master Liaowen not coming yet? Am I remembering the wrong time?"

Xia Bingyu looked at Huiyu, "Master has a visitor, we need to delay the time, sister Dong came later so I don't know."

Dong Huiyu nodded, "Well, I thought I had misremembered the time, and I would be so annoyed if I missed the wonderful match."

Seeing that Dong Huiyu looked unharmed, Xia Bingyu felt that she might be thinking too much, the person inside could not be her, and she had come out, but Master Wen hadn't come out yet.So, who is that person?

Seeing Xia Bingyu's pensive look, Huiyu breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the bustling Buddhist temple, she lowered her head slightly and took a sip of the tea that the girl had just brought up.The refreshing tea fragrance slowly eased Huiyu's tense nerves, and the tension slowly dissipated, telling herself that she was just like everyone else, a pure spectator.

The weather in early spring was already warm when it was time for Chen Shi, and the warm sunshine shone on people's body warmly. After half an hour slipped by quietly, Huiyu became more and more calm and relaxed.It's just that the eyes of Ji Qiyu next to him are a little uncomfortable, like Shura in the dark night, and every bone in Huiyu's body is screaming for danger.

Apart from nodding slightly to Ji Qiyu, Huiyu didn't even say a word to him, and Ji Qiyu looked at her as if ignoring her greeting.

Huiyu: ...

She found that Ji Qiyu was really a fucking arrogant and sullen young man, she would die if she nodded her head.But Ji Qiyu had the ability to glance at it lightly, and ignored it as if it were an obstacle. The clear contempt contained a bit of Huiyu's unclear meaning, which made her f*ckingly want to treat this brat pretending to be X Give it a beating.

The situation at the scene became somewhat complicated because of the sudden accident on Master Liaowen's side.Although most people may not be able to read Ji Fuyan's jokes, it cannot be denied that Ji Fuyan is indeed somewhat embarrassed after being cut off.Such an embarrassing situation was not caused by Huiyu subjectively, but with the development of the matter, some results were beyond her control.

Master Liaowen is indeed not in the temple, even without her presence, today's challenge will be Dichen instead of Naishi.After Huiyu defeated Dichen, there was only one condition, and that was to wait half an hour after she had gone out, and then Dichen would come forward and say in person that the situation had been broken, and the person who broke the situation did not want others to know that he had gone down the mountain.

Only under such circumstances, Huiyu will not be suspected, she is still the second daughter of the Dong family who is safe and sound.

After half an hour, Dichen really appeared.

As soon as he appeared in the front yard, the originally agitated crowd fell silent in an instant.

Huiyu looked at Dichen with a serious face and a compassionate and righteous face slowly walking towards him. Seeing Dichen like this, Huiyu felt that the person she saw just now must not be him.How can one person have such extreme two sides?Where did that ruffian monk go?
"Poor monk Dichen, I have met all the benefactors." Dichen chanted the Buddha's name softly, and formally greeted everyone.

Ji Fuyan stepped forward, looked at Dichen, and then said, "Little Master, what do you want to say?"

"What His Royal Highness the Second Prince said is very true. The poor monk is the only disciple under the family teacher, and he is also a closed disciple. Before the Second Prince said that he would come to break the broken chess today, he never thought that there would be a benefactor Arriving at Bisi an hour and a half ago, I broke the chess game with one move. Now that the chess game has been broken, my master asked the poor monk to tell the second prince that he can go back."

Everyone cheered, never heard of Master Wen accepting closed disciples, this Master Dichen looks very inconspicuous, who knows that he has a lot of background.Over the years, I don't know how many people wanted to worship Master Wen as their teacher, but the master never let go of his mouth to accept disciples. Where did this Master Dichen come to be able to fall into the eyes of Master Wen and accept him as an apprentice?

This news was even more eye-catching than someone breaking the mess. For a moment, Master Dichen became the focus of everyone's attention, and Huiyu could feel the slight scrutiny from Ji Qiyu, Xia Bingyu, and even Ji Fuyan around her.Huiyu knew that they couldn't be completely at ease when she came late, so she pretended not to see their eyes, showing almost exactly the same surprised expression as the others, and even the teacup in her hand shook slightly.

Dichen explained the matter to everyone in simple words according to the conditions he had agreed with him before, and finally concluded, "Since my master has promised to keep it secret for others, he will never reveal the origin of the benefactor. I also hope that everyone can understand, don’t inquire in private and bring unnecessary trouble to the temple. In addition, the family teacher has never seen with his own eyes whether the second prince can break the mess, but as the second prince for several years, he is the first one who dares to ask My teacher also appreciates those who challenge me. However, the world is impermanent and accidents will always happen. My teacher and everyone are deeply surprised by what happened today, so please don’t worry about it, Second Prince."

Although Ji Fuyan was cut off, Dichen's words still expressed Master Wen's appreciation for him, at least it would make Ji Fuyan not leave in such an ugly way, and it would be considered a good face for him.

Huiyu knew that she did not behave properly and took away the glory that belonged to Ji Fuyan, so although Master Wen's last act of compensation would add a lot of points to Ji Fuyan's personality and temperament, and help to enhance his prestige, At this time, she couldn't stop it.

What Ji Fuyan got was much less than what he lost, Huiyu told herself that she should be content.

"Although it's a pity to miss the chance to talk with the master, but what the master said is very true, people gain and lose, and Fuyan is a teacher. I hope to have the opportunity to consult with the master in the future." Ji Fuyan suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Dichen. Slowly speaking with the same smile as before, the demeanor displayed is indeed admirable.

Dichen's eyes seemed to sweep Huiyu's calm water face intentionally or unintentionally, looked up at Ji Fuyan and said with a smile: "The benefactor is open-minded, so he is a blessed person."

"Borrowing the auspicious words from Master." Ji Fuyan smiled heartily, then turned around and looked at the crowd and said, "I'm so sorry for being so tired today, please gather together another day. Guo'an Temple is a royal temple. It is very prosperous and has a great reputation, and it’s still early in the day, so everyone can just stroll around and enjoy the scenery as a relief.”

Ji Fuyan laughed at himself, and his words were funny, everyone laughed for a while, and some even comforted Ji Fuyan, it wasn't that he was inferior in skills, it was just that he was taken a step ahead by the villain.

Listening to everyone's attacks on the villain, Huiyu stood up without changing his face, without looking at the gentle and benevolent ruffian Dichen in front of him out of the corner of his eyes.He just smiled and bid farewell to Xia Bingyu, Xia Bingyu held Huiyu's hand and said, "It's rare to come here, why don't we go to see the scenery together?"

Huiyu quickly declined, and said helplessly: "My mother told my mother-in-law and girl that there must be a lot of people in Guo'an Temple today, so I should go back early. I want to play with Sister Xia. , but I really can't help myself. I will apologize to my sister later, so please don't annoy me."

"What are you talking about? Since it's the second lady's intention, I can't stop you. You can go back quickly. There are not many people in front of the mountain gate at the moment, and I'm afraid it won't be crowded any longer. Be careful on the road."

"Thank you, sister Xia. I'll go and play with my sister later." Huiyu said goodbye to Xia Bingyu with a sweet smile, and hurried away before the girls from other families gathered around her.

Huiyu didn't go through the main entrance of the front yard. At this time, the main entrance was already surrounded by water, and people outside the gate who got the news blocked the door and asked what happened.Huiyu went directly to the side door where the cleaning monk usually walked. After leaving the courtyard door, Huiyu wanted to go towards the mountain gate, but she never thought that there was a person standing outside the door at this time.

Not many people knew about this side door, so Dichen told Huiyu secretly, and Huiyu came out of this door secretly, so not many people saw her, so when she saw Ji Qiyu outside the door, she still didn't know. What a shock.The two women who came out to explore the way outside the door were kneeling on the ground and did not dare to speak out. The fourth prince did not let them make a sound, and they did not dare to tell the girl that there were people outside.

Ji Qiyu stood with her hands behind her back, her jet-black hair was blown by the spring breeze, like ink dyed in the air.Huiyu looked at Ji Qiyu's wide-sleeved long robe meandering to the ground, her straight back was as straight as a pines and cypresses, even if the oppressive aura was only left on Huiyu's back, it could still make people feel that A suffocating urgency.

Huiyu frowned lightly, looked at the woman shaking on the ground with her head half down, and said to them, "You wait for me in front."

The two wives ran away as if they were being pardoned, Xueqi and Xueying looked at Ji Qiyu not very well, but they still walked forward with the rest of them lightly, About a dozen steps away, they stopped where they couldn't hear their voices, and stood with hands down, waiting for Huiyu.

Ji Qiyu turned around slowly, her eyes like sharp knives fell on Huiyu, "That person is you!"

Affirmative sentences are not interrogative sentences.

Huiyu's heart trembled, but there was a bit of shock on his face, "Your Highness is joking?"

"Dong Huiyu, do you know where your biggest flaw is?" Ji Qiyu completely ignored the astonishment on Huiyu's face, and said slowly with a slightly cold voice with the usual rhythm.

"Your Highness is really ridiculous, Huiyu doesn't know what you're talking about." Dong Huiyu tried his best to keep calm, not to be irritated by Ji Qiyu and make mistakes.

"You know what I'm talking about." Ji Qiyu stared at Huiyu, "I'm surprised that you would make such a move."

Ji Qiyu didn't talk about Huiyu's weakness, but changed the topic instead.

"Your Highness's words really confused Huiyu. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just a girl in a boudoir. I'm afraid Your Highness has misunderstood someone. Huiyu is leaving now, and my mother is still waiting at home." , I’m afraid I’ll be worried if I go back late.” Hui Yu bowed slightly towards Ji Qiyu and walked on her feet.

"Dong Huiyu."

Huiyu paused, turned her back to Ji Qiyu and didn't turn her head.

"Before Ji Fuyan went up the mountain, he had put eyeliner on all the roads around Guo'an Temple. Master Dichen said that the person had already left. What if Ji Fuyan didn't see him?"

Huiyu looked slightly startled, but she turned her head and smiled like a flower, "Your Highness, what's the use of telling my daughter so much, my daughter is really not that person, so the Second Highness can do whatever he wants. If you don't do anything wrong during the day, you can't do it in the middle of the night." Sit back and relax until dawn." Monitoring people's whereabouts, this kind of thing can be big or small, Ji Fuyan will not be such an idiot.

Ji Qiyu was clearly defrauding her by saying this!

Seeing Huiyu's figure getting farther and farther away, Ji Qiyu still stood with his hands behind his back, but the expression on his face was more indifferent and gloomy than before.

"Your Highness." Jiang Qing hurriedly came to Ji Qiyu's side, "My subordinates have checked, and the second girl has indeed been in the meditation room all the time, and it is true that the nap time is a little too late."

Is that really the case?
Ji Qiyu's intuition told him that the truth must not be like this.But every clue told him that his predictions were wrong.It's fine if you guess wrong, but if you guess right, Dong Huiyu still has the ability to cover up every clue perfectly...

Thinking of that day in the dense forest, Dong Huiyu raised the knife and dropped it, blood was everywhere.

He couldn't forget the expression on Dong Huiyu's face at that time.

"Continue to check!"

Still check?How else to check?I have checked everything that can be checked. Miss Dong Er is indeed fine. Why does His Highness have to believe that there is something wrong with her?Jiang Qing expressed her distress, but she didn't dare to question her master's order, and immediately replied: "Yes."

Although Ji Fuyan failed to play chess with Master Wen in person, today's grand event almost became a joke, but after Master Wen made up for it afterwards, coupled with Ji Fuyan's smooth tactics, he finally did not lose his face to the ground.

Even so, Ji Fuyan's expression was definitely not good-looking. Sitting in the Buddhist courtyard that had been reserved in advance, Ji Fuyan frowned and his face was gloomy.

Xia Bingyu walked in quietly. She had already changed into a hooded cloak. At this time, the hood was on her head, so she couldn't tell who she was for a while.

Lifting the hat, Xia Bingyu slowly came to sit down opposite Ji Fuyan, looked at him worriedly, "Cousin, since the incident has already happened, don't be sad. And everyone knows the reason for this incident, as long as we sit down Fortunately, the following things can still be concluded satisfactorily."

"Bingyu." Ji Fuyan looked at the woman opposite, "You don't need to comfort me, I know what the consequences will be. I didn't expect that someone would embarrass me at a time like this. After all, I was too careless. But taking this opportunity, if I had made an appointment with the master to play chess with me alone, such a thing would not have happened."

"How can you blame my cousin for this matter?" Xia Bingyu was slightly angry, and said with a cold snort: "No matter who is behind the scenes, as long as there are clues, we can find out. I will tell my father to investigate secretly, and I will definitely It worked out."

"Don't let uncle take action." Ji Fuyan said, as long as there is any movement in Xin Guogong's mansion, people outside will definitely notice it, and then he will be even more ashamed.

Xia Bingyu's face turned pale, "I just want to help you." Biting her pink lips lightly, she felt a little aggrieved. She did so much and thought so much, but it was just to share his worries.

Ji Fuyan gently rubbed the center of his brows, looked at Xia Bingyu and said softly: "I know what you think about me, but now I am one with my uncle, so I just do what I want, and others will think it is what I mean. I'll think of another way, don't get me wrong."

Xia Bingyu's complexion improved when she heard this, she thought for a while before saying: "It's because I'm too impatient, what my cousin said is true."

"It's getting late, you go back first. I have to wait and see if I can see the master." After all, Ji Fuyan was a little unwilling to give up, how could he leave like this.

Xia Bingyu didn't dare to delay Ji Fuyan's business, so she stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first, so that my father and mother won't be worried. If my cousin returns late, be careful on the way."

"Understood." Ji Fuyan sent Xia Bingyu out with a smile, until it was near the gate of the courtyard, and the two waved goodbye.

After Xia Bingyu left, Ji Fuyan immediately called Ma Yuan over, "Did you ask?"

"The subordinates have already inquired quietly. This master Dichen is indeed a closed disciple of Master Wen. He said that the master accepted it when he was traveling abroad. It's just that Master Dichen basically stayed in the Buddhist temple of Master Wen. , seldom deal with the monks in the monastery, so apart from knowing that there is such a person, everyone is not very clear about his temper. What's more, he is a disciple personally accepted by Master Liaowen, and no one dares to make trouble with him. Therefore, the subordinates couldn't find any useful information for a while, so please punish him, Your Highness."

"I can't blame you for a short time, but keep checking, as long as people are alive, there will always be traces of life left. Check slowly, and you will always find something." Ji Fuyan is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time to consume.

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"Master Liaowen, can you agree to meet me?"

"This...Master Dichen said that Master Wen has gone down the mountain." Ma Yuan lowered his head and didn't even look at Ji Fuyan. The second prince is a bit out of luck.

Sure enough, Ji Fuyan's expression was not very good-looking, "Did you go down the mountain? When did it happen?"

"According to Master Dichen, the master followed the players who came to play chess."

"Walking together?" Ji Fuyan frowned deeply, no wonder it was Dichen who came forward, it turned out that the master was no longer in the temple.If this is the case, then Dong Huiyu is not suspected. He also said that even though it was rumored that Dong Huiyu had a talent for playing chess, and she was late again, he had doubted whether that person was Dong Huiyu.Although this guess is very ridiculous, but now I can finally rest assured.After all, Dong Huiyu is only a 12-year-old girl, if it is really her...it would be too scary. "Get ready to go down the mountain."

Master Liaowen was not there, so it was meaningless to stay in Guoan Temple.

Ma Yuan immediately went to make arrangements, and before he left, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ji Fuyan and said, "There is one more thing, one of my subordinates accidentally saw by the side gate of the Buddhist courtyard that the fourth prince stopped the second girl Dong." road."

"Oh?" Ji Fuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "The fourth brother has always stayed away from women, how could he do such a thing, can you see clearly?"

"Yes, there is nothing wrong. The distance between the two was not close at that time, and the situation at that time seemed a little weird. The fourth prince kept a cold face the whole time, and the second girl Dong seemed quite unhappy. Later, the second girl Dong left I turned around at the time, and I don’t know what I said, but the fourth prince’s complexion is not very good.” In fact, his subordinate said at that time that the fourth prince’s complexion was as if he had stepped on a stool, and the soldier’s speech was rougher. He can't pass on the original words.

Ji Fuyan tapped the palm of his left hand with his right hand, "His Highness remembers that Miss Dong Er is not eligible for this year's draft."

"Yes, almost in age." Ma Yuan immediately replied, because the second prince will be given a marriage this year, and the number of concubines on both sides of the first concubine, they as slaves naturally want to find out the situation of those important ladies.The Dong family had Miss Dong running for the election, so Ma Yuan also got to know something about Miss Dong's affairs by the way.

"Speaking of it, it seems that since Miss Dong's affairs with the second room of the Xia family, she has become a little different. After returning from the border, she didn't even participate in the banquet much."

"Master Xia Er is not going well recently." Ma Yuan said in a low voice, it doesn't matter if his official career is not going well, with Duke Ding and Marquis of Bei'an always staring at the fixed point to attack, these days are so miserable.In the past, he never made big mistakes and kept making small mistakes, but now Master Xia dare not make even small mistakes all the time. If he is caught by the Dong and Xing families... Tsk tsk, don't be too aggrieved.It's bad enough that the official career is not going well, I heard that the second master of the Xia family also has some problems in his financial career.These officials and lords who have no property in their hands and earn some money for their private houses, otherwise they only live on their salaries... There is no way to live with human relations, food and drink expenses, and raising a large family of masters and servants .

Don't say that the officials are like this, even the princes have their own property in their hands.A prince who has not opened a mansion, of course has no income, and depends on the emperor for food, drink and clothing.But the prince also has other fancy items, how can he do it without any property in his hand?Just like the second prince, it goes without saying that Empress Zhaoyi gave her private house to His Highness to do some promising business by herself, even the Xinguo Mansion managed several business deals for the prince.

Mentioning Xia Mingzhe and Ji Fuyan's expression is also not very good-looking, "It's not enough to make things happen, it's not enough to clean up the house, and it's hard to be of great use in the future."

Ma Yuan didn't dare to speak anymore. With these words, Xia Mingzhe might have no future with the Second Prince.

After descending the mountain, Ji Fuyan did not take a car, but rode a horse and galloped towards the capital, followed by a dozen guards, who watched a cloud of dust rise from afar.He didn't take the main road that he came before, but took another small road around the back mountain. This road is usually not very crowded and the road is not easy to walk, but it is a short distance from the return to Beijing. Went this way.

At this time, it is just that the golden crow will fall to the west, the sunset glow in the sky will render the whole land into a fiery red color, and the spring breeze in the evening is no longer cold, and it blows comfortably on people's bodies.Ji Fuyan's depression only dissipated a little after running wildly all the way. He looked up and stared ahead, and saw two cars parked on the side of the road from a distance. He saw that the gorgeous and spacious carriage was not something ordinary people could use.

Ji Fuyan didn't stop, instead he drove the horse directly, stopped in front of the carriage, sat on the horse and looked at the people guarding the carriage and asked, "Which family's guards are you?"

The guard saw that it was the second prince and immediately came over to salute, "I have seen His Highness, it is Ding Guogong Dong's family."

Ji Fuyan smiled, turned over and got off the horse, held the whip in his hand, looked at the people and asked, "What's wrong with the carriage, why is it parked here?" Without waiting for the people to answer, he went to the front one. The window of the carriage opened through the curtain, "Is Sister Dong inside?"

Dong Huiyu, who was sitting in the car at this time, looked stiff. She never thought that someone with such luck would meet Ji Fuyan in such a ghostly place.Taking a deep breath, he replied through the car curtain, "So it's the Second Highness, Huiyu is being polite." Whose sister are you calling?Do you know what avoidance is?Ah, you know?
"What happened to the carriage, can it be repaired?" Ji Fuyan's voice came through the curtain of the carriage.

"The carriage hit a rock and broke its axle, so it stopped. The servant has already returned home, and he will be back soon." What Huiyu meant was, get out of here, I don't need your help, don't swipe I have a good impression, and if you max out, I won't bother you.

Ji Fuyan didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Dong Huiyu's voice was a bit cold, remembering that Dong Huiyu didn't look like this when he saw him before.Did he ever offend her unintentionally?But then I just smiled, this is simply impossible, maybe I heard it wrong, so I smiled and said: "From here to Kyoto, it will be dark, and the axle needs to be replaced, I am afraid it will take Even later. The second sister might as well go back in my carriage, I came here on horseback and I don’t need the carriage.”
