Donggong Zhangjiao

The two wandered to the gazebo.

After walking the mountain road for a while, I feel somewhat tired and hot.

After sitting down in the gazebo, the maids quickly put out the prepared tea, cakes, and fruit snacks.

One person held a cup of tea, the mountain breeze mixed with the humidity before the rain, it was very comfortable.

"The cicadas and the forest are quieter, and the Birdsong Mountain is more secluded. Your Highness will choose it. This place is quiet and elegant, surrounded by vegetation, accompanied by mountain springs, and the breeze is gentle. It is really an excellent place to escape the summer heat and enjoy the scenery. It is even better than Anlu Villa."

Fang Yun's willow eyebrows were curved, her red lips curled up in a warm arc, and her face was full of laziness and comfort.

At this moment, she is enjoying the scenery, but in Pei Yao's eyes, she is not a different scenery.

Today Fang Yun is wearing a scallion green cross-neck tunic dress, simple and elegant, her black hair is tied up with only two white jade hairpins, her round earlobes are decorated with a pair of drop-shaped pearl earrings, and there are no extra accessories.

There is no makeup on the face, the willow eyebrows are light, the eyes are full, the face is like a hibiscus, and the mouth is like a peach blossom.

At this moment, she was holding a round fan in her hand, shaking it gently, and a mutton fat jade bracelet was hanging on her white wrist, making her slender and light, and her skin as creamy as fat.

Together with the emerald green color of the mountains, it seems like a fairy in the mountains, appearing in the world for a while.

"Your Highness?"

Not getting a response, Fang Yun withdrew his gaze from outside the pavilion, looked at Pei Yao with a little doubt, and called out softly.

Pei Yao also just came back to his senses, smiled with his lips curled up, and said in a warm voice.

"The green hills are hidden and the water is far away. I have seen too many red walls and green tiles in the palace. The beautiful scenery in the mountains is naturally more pleasant. I just saw that the mountains are quiet and there are few people, so I managed Zhuangzi here. In the past, whenever Gu came here, he would always invite Master Nian to sit in this gazebo."

"Then now, the concubine is lucky enough to occupy the position of master."

Fang Yun pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were cool, cute and delicate.

Looking at the people he saw, the smile on Pei Yao's lips deepened a bit.

"What's taking someone else's place, Gu brought you here, this position is yours."

"The concubine will thank His Highness."

Fang Yun held his fan as a gesture of salute, which was also deliberately amusing.

After chatting for a while, it was time to rest, so Fang Yun wanted to take a walk by the pool not far away.

This is a small square pond that Pei Yao specially ordered people to build. It is filled with mountain spring water, just enough for people to play in and enjoy.

There is a circle of flowers blooming around the pool. I don’t know if they are natural or human, but they are quite suitable.

Before Pei Yao finished his tea, he allowed her to go there first.

Fang Yun was not restrained, and after saluting, he supported Qing Rong's hand and went to the pool.

Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he saw a little fox by the side of the pool, drinking water by the pool at the moment.

In addition to being surprised, Fang Yun was also extremely novel.

It was the first time she had seen a live fox at such a big age, so she immediately slowed down and moved closer.

But the little fox had good ears, Fang Yun had just walked a few steps closer, and it immediately became alert and hid back.

One person and one fox, with big eyes and small eyes, no one dared to act rashly.

At this time, Pei Yao also came over, stood behind and saw the little fox, and said.

"Do you like it? Take it back and tell you to keep it?"

"No. Hey, don't be afraid!"

Fang Yun was answering Pei Yao's words, when the little fox saw that there were more people, he immediately turned around and ran away, and got behind a rock that was mostly covered by grass, and disappeared.

Out of curiosity, Fang Yoon instinctively lifted the skirt and followed in that direction.

Seeing how fresh she was, Pei Yao had no choice but to follow behind her.

However, the mountain was very densely covered with vegetation, and the little fox had gone somewhere. Fang Yun searched around but couldn't find it, so he had to give up.

Seeing her disappointed, Pei Yao smiled and took her hand and walked back, comforting her.

"It's not easy to bring this wild fox back home. There is a beast garden in the palace, and there are foxes that have been raised since childhood. If you like it, ask someone to get a small one for you to raise."

"That's unnecessary, I just haven't seen it before, I'm just curious." Fang Yun shook his head.

It takes effort to raise these small animals, and she doesn't have the heart now.

Seeing what she said, Pei Yao didn't force it.

The two went back to the gazebo to sit for a while, then got up and walked back.

Unfortunately, it started to rain on the way back.

The maids forgot to bring their umbrellas when they came out, and now they are not moving forward or backward, and it is not convenient to go back to the gazebo to hide from the rain, so they had to speed up and walk back.

But the summer rains always come fiercely and quickly, and by the time Yuan He rushed over to pick them up with an umbrella, they were already drenched through.

There was nothing I could do, so I had to change clothes quickly after returning, take a bath with hot water, and drive away the cold.

When Fang Yun's half-dried hair came out, Pei Yao was sitting by the window and was being waited upon by someone to brush his hair.

Fang Yun had never seen Pei Yao with his hair loose.

Now seeing his appearance in plain pajamas and with his black hair hanging down, he feels very handsome, compared with usual, it adds a sense of loneliness and coldness, as if he has been immersed in the clear spring in the mountains.

Seeing Fang Yun coming out, Pei Yao waved his hand to screen off the servants in the room, leaving only the two of them alone.

"Come here." Pei Yao whispered.

Fang Yun walked over obediently, and Pei Yao took the cloth from her hand, asked her to sit next to him, and helped her brush her hair with his own hands.

Originally, Fang Yun wanted to say that this was unreasonable, but after thinking about it, what are the rules?In the East Palace, the prince is the rule.

Since Pei Yao is willing, then at this moment when no outsiders are watching, she just needs to be well-behaved.

Sure enough, Pei Yao seemed to enjoy the process of brushing her hair, and he fiddled with it for a long time before giving up.

"Is it cold, is the ginger soup prepared?"

"not cold."

Fang Yun said in a low voice, and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were watery, making people feel itchy.

Pei Yao's eyes were dark, and he raised his hand involuntarily to cover those charming eyes.

"Your Highness?" Fang Yun trembled and asked in doubt, holding Pei Yao's big palm with both hands, and moved away from his eyes, "Your Highness, it's still some time before dinner, I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while, okay?"

It's fine if she doesn't mention this, but when she mentions it now, it really makes people's hearts throb.

Pei Yao glanced out of the window, it was already dark because of the rain.

So he withdrew his gaze, and Pei Yao nodded in response.

Leading people into the inner room.

It's just that this rest was not peaceful, and soon there were figures intertwined in the gauze tent.

When he got up again, Fang Yun was even more tired.

However, Pei Yao was very refreshed, and when he had dinner, he kept adding vegetables to Fang Yun.

But Fang Yun was so tired that he couldn't eat anymore, so he used it hastily, and rolled to the couch to rest after taking a bath.

This time I was really asleep, I couldn't stand it anymore.

Pei Yao didn't care that she ignored him like this, embraced him, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next few days are considered stable, but the time of stability often passes very quickly.

More than half a month passed in a flash, and it was time to go back.

Setting off in the morning, Pei Yao went to court first, and the female relatives went back to the palace in a carriage by themselves.

It was faster than when I came, and I arrived at the East Palace before lunch.

The first thing he did when he came back was naturally to go to the Wutong Garden to pay his respects to the Crown Princess. Unexpectedly, it happened that the Crown Princess was arranging residences for the newly selected people.

Counting the days, it is now the beginning of August, and the newcomers will enter the East Palace in September, so it is indeed necessary to make arrangements in advance.

Fang Yun took a look. This time, there were three people entering the East Palace.

Besides Xu Xin'er, there were also two girls from the Hu family and the Xie family.
