Eunuchs are not easy

"Your elder sister of the Ji family was sent to the palace by her father a few years ago and became a beautiful girl. It is not surprising that she is a talented person now." With regret on her face, Ruan Xiu paused and instructed Fu Huan. : "Don't mention this matter in front of Qing'er, Huan'er, do you remember?"

It was hard to forget, and it will inevitably be sad to hear it again.

"Why mother?" Fu Huan thought for a while, and asked a little puzzled.

When she was a child, she only knew that the two of them were frequent visitors in the mouths of adults, and the two of them often appeared in pairs, but she couldn't think of the intersection between the two.

"The Ji family and our Fu family had a marriage contract." Ruan Xiu sighed, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, the voice was transmitted through the carriage to the outside, and soon dissipated, and the rest of the words were hidden In his heart, "It's your brother and Fu Liu."

His expression was gloomy, recalling the sorrows of the past, the darkness when the bad news spread throughout the capital, the loneliness and helplessness of the Fu family, quietly struck his heart, the corners of his eyes were dry, and he could only turn his head to cover up his sudden emotions.

"Mother?" Fu Huan also noticed it, called apologetically, bent over and got up, sat down close to her, and put his arms around her, "Okay, okay, Huan'er is back, everything will pass. "

"Well, I know." Ruan Xiu attached her hand and nodded, "Huan'er, our Fu family will be fine."

"Ma'am, miss, Shang Huating is here."

The carriage stopped, and Aunt Xu's voice sounded outside.

Ruan Xiu responded, looked at Fu Huan and said, "Go down!"

Fu Huan nodded, opened the curtain first, then stood by the door and bent down, helping Ruan Xiu get out of the car.

Soon a young father-in-law came out of the door and welcomed the two of them in, "Mrs. Fu, this way please, the imperial concubine is waiting for you to go in the flower hall."

"Okay." Ruan Xiu nodded, and followed the little eunuch with Fu Huan into the entrance of the porch surrounded by green branches all the year round.

There are rockery and green plants, small bridges and flowing water, and there are neatly arranged flowers and plants everywhere.Every year at this time of year, Shang Huating will hold a flower viewing banquet, inviting ladies and wives from famous families in the capital to come and get together, connect with each other, and cultivate their sentiments.

Not long after walking, a woman's charming laughter came from the depths of the flower forest, and she raised her eyes to look at a corner of the pavilion and caught it in her eyes.

The little eunuch retreated, and said with concessions: "Madam Fu, the imperial concubine and the others will stay there. I still have something to worry about, so I won't send Madam there."

"Excuse me, father-in-law." After Ruan Xiu nodded, she walked inside with Fu Huan.

Passing through the short flower corridor, women in various postures showed their figures from inside.

When he came here, Fu Huan suddenly understood that the flowers planted on the ground are not necessarily the ones to appreciate, because sometimes people are more beautiful than flowers.

There are many beauties, and more beauty lies in the strength of character.

"My wife has seen the imperial concubine." Ruan Xiu pulled Fu Huan and stood in the center of the hall in a short time. Everyone fell silent while talking, and all eyes were on the two of them.

During this period, many eyes fell on Fu Huan.

There were vague and whispered discussions among the crowd, flat-headed.

"Is it the wife of the Fu family?" The young imperial concubine put away her impatient expression, Kou Hong's nails pointed at her chin, and she shifted her eyes to Fu Huan beside her with a playful expression, and her eyes were on the hairpin on her head Turning around, his body froze, and his face was gloomy for a moment, "The one next to me is Mr. Fu Dudu, right?"

"Exactly." Fu Huan cupped his hands and replied calmly.The usual calmness in every gesture, and an aura that is diametrically opposed to everyone else.

Liu Qiwen clenched her cuffs tightly, and then raised her hands to cover her lips and squinted her eyes and laughed, her eyes were filled with emotions, "I didn't expect Fu Dudu to come, what a surprise."

"Come, Mrs. Fu and Governor Fu, please sit down." With a flick of his wrist, the emerald green bracelet on his snow-white wrist swayed, pointing them in a random direction.

The two nodded, said goodbye to her, and walked down hand in hand.

Fu Huan followed his mother to find a place slightly out of the way and sat down. Before he could take a breath and admire a flower, he heard the person above him calling his name again, "Fu Dudu, seeing a hundred things is worth seeing. Qiwen is particularly interested in the affairs of Governor Fu."

There was a dark light in her eyes, she flicked her sleeves, and turned her body slightly, facing Fu Huan and the other two.Due to the relatively long distance, her voice increased intentionally or unintentionally, disrupting the conversation and laughter of the female relatives present, and causing everyone's eyes and attention to return to Fu Huan.

Fu Huan who just picked up the tea to moisten his mouth: ...

There was a trace of bewilderment in his eyes.

He froze for a while, raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, holding his cuff with one hand, and put down the teacup with the other, with a curved mouth.Ruan Xiu patted her leg worriedly, Fu Huan nodded to her in relief, raised his eyes to meet the pair of upturned red phoenix eyes, ignored the provocation inside, and said angrily, "Thank you for your compliment .”

"Fu Dudu is not going to share with us. After all, not every woman can act like you." The corner of her mouth curled up. Although she was startled by Fu Huan's sudden heavy voice, she couldn't guess Fu Huan's attitude for a while. .

But this does not prevent her from sitting up straight, condescending, "Not every woman has the opportunity to be like those men."

"It's just a common thing." Fu Huan's expression did not change. In fact, the group of regretful people usually yelled too much at those guys, and forgot to stop for a while.

But his eyes moved away from her, he pulled the corners of his lips, and said softly, "If your empress really wants to know, just go back and ask Your Majesty."

"What?" There was a trace of stiffness in Liu Qiwen's eyes, as if she didn't understand what Fu Huan meant.

Fu Huan raised his eyelids and said casually, "After all, it is a military secret of the imperial court. For your majesty, it is most appropriate to ask His Majesty."

"Besides, the people who come here are all here to appreciate the flowers, not to admire the officials. Right, ma'am." The voice continued to be soft, with a gentle attitude, but the meaning inside and outside the words was——I don't want to talk to you , please be conscious.

It really made Liu Qiwen, who wanted to save her face, so embarrassed that the embroidered handkerchief in her hand was pulled into balls.Avoiding the eyes of others, she snorted coldly and asked her to ask His Majesty, it was not to make herself feel uncomfortable.

"Pfft..." Fu Huan had just finished speaking when he heard a muffled laugh coming from the people who were sitting closely, and it was extraordinarily clear in the quiet banquet.

Fu Huan shifted his gaze, and when he looked up, he saw a noble girl with bright eyes and white teeth covering her lips and winking at him.

Smiling politely back, Fu Huan looked away, picked up the teacup at hand, and refilled Ruan Xiu who was chatting with others. After that, he lowered his head and slowly lowered his sense of existence.

Liu Qiwen didn't stay around her all the time, instead she cleverly talked about her elsewhere.Those who were close to each other and winked at each other eased the awkward atmosphere with each sentence, and started talking and laughing.

Whether intentionally or not, the eyes of the corners of her eyes still did not leave Fu Huan's direction.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to care.Fu Huan's years of experience made him extremely sensitive to this line of sight.

Although she didn't know that she had provoked the imperial concubine for no reason, it didn't prevent her from unilaterally ignoring it.

After all, I don't rely on her for food.

The tense atmosphere passed quickly, as if it had never happened.Gradually, the flower hall was filled with chatting and laughing among the ladies and noble ladies, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Except for a few wives and noble daughters with bright eyes and Liu Qiwen who were flattering, the others were more indifferent, and smiled when the conversation turned to themselves, and just casually catered to them if they couldn't get around.

Liu Qiwen is just a representative sent by the palace in this flower viewing banquet, so it is her who is sitting here now, and naturally it can be someone else.

In the past, the queen came to the flower viewing banquet, and the people below naturally gave face no matter what.As for her, the posture of the master of this faction is much higher and more powerful, and it is already enough for her to show some superficial effort.

There are many flowers in the flower hall, and there are many varieties that have not been seen before, but the chirping voices in my ears are really not something Fu Huan can bear.

In those years, watching the people below drinking and drinking wildly, I didn't have the headache I have today.

There are quite a few people around my age here, but most of them are already married.Fu Huan's situation at this time is completely unknown, peers have no topics to talk about, and elders have estrangement.

"Ah, yes, that's great." Fu Huan squinted his eyes and dealt with Zheng Huan's wife who was chatting with Ruan Xiu beside him. He had some impressions, but he really didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, so he could only grin professionally. Laugh, deal with the past.

At the same time, he restrained his breath, lowered his sense of existence, and picked up the melons, fruits and pastries on the table. He didn't have much appetite, but he had a lot of tea.

When someone called her, she just squinted her eyes and grinned, and if she couldn't do it, she picked up the cup and sipped her saliva to avoid laughing awkwardly. When she put down the cup, the topic quickly changed naturally.

After coming and going, there was a lot of water in her stomach, and almost all the tea on the table went into her.

"Mother" Fu Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and tugged at the corner of Ruan Xiu's clothes under the low table, watching the other party stop, and leaned closer to her ear and said her purpose.

Ruan Xiu looked apologetically at the madam who was chatting beside her, then looked back at Fu Huan, and glanced at the empty porcelain cup on the table, "You should not be familiar with this place, let Aunt Xu follow you, she knows the way. Go back early."

If she only listened to the first sentence, Fu Huan would have nodded, but the latter sentence made her head pause, but she still nodded, "Okay, then mother, I will go out first."

"Yeah." Ruan Xiu nodded, and the lady on the other side dragged her to make a sound, looked at Fu Huan who was looking a little unhappy and quickly led her away, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I drank too much tea." Ruan Xiu tapped some water on the low table with her chin.

"Really?" The lady took a sip from the cup and nodded in agreement. "It's no wonder she likes it. This tea is really good."

"By the way, Mrs. Fu, what do you think about the matter we talked about? After all, Governor Fu is getting older, and it's time to think about it."

The author has something to say:

Fu Huan: Achoo!
