Chapter 90 The Eve of the Spring Search
That night, Qingtongyuan.
Fu Xuechen happily told Fu Yuchen the news about the spring search the next day.
"How's it going? Do you want to go? Do you want to go? Can you go?" Fu Xuechen asked expectantly.
Fu Yuchen looked at her thoughtfully: "Do you want to go?"
"The princess invited me and my eldest sister to accompany her, so I can go if I want!" Fu Xuechen emphasized, knocking on the table: "Now I'm asking you if you want to go? Can you go?"
Fu Yuchen understood, rubbed his chin and muttered: "It's just hunting. When riding on horseback, you mainly rely on your arms to draw a bow and hunt. And you don't have to hunt all the time, so I can probably do it? The key is..."
He glanced at Fu Xuechen and didn't want to say anything further. In fact, the key point is that this spring search includes the emperor, the invited princes and relatives, civil and military ministers, no matter how small the scale is, plus a bunch of princes and princesses and their There were hundreds of people accompanying me, not counting the accompanying eunuch Gong'e and the imperial guards.
It is such a big scene, and it is in the suburbs. Even if there are a large number of temporary military tents set up, even if you can go through the woods and bushes, and there are eyes everywhere, it will be a big problem for the sister who is disguised as a man to get married. It's very easy for something to happen if she doesn't do it well. She can hold it in during the day and then take advantage of it at night... This is even more unrealistic.
After much calculation, Fu Xuechen decided to revert to women's clothing! It would be fine if he followed the princess. The princess must have her own palace tent, and she would also be accompanied by palace maids, nuns and even female guards. They could just take care of the princess who could not bring her maids with her. and invited female guests.
Huh? What's the key? Don't overwork your calves? Fu Xuechen had an idea and snapped his fingers: "Let's do this! I'll put some protection on your legs before setting off the next morning! That way you won't be afraid of tiring your legs."
Fu Yuchen was puzzled: "What kind of protection? Don't make any random decisions."
"I didn't come up with random ideas! You will know the benefits when the time comes!" Fu Xuechen burst into laughter.
Fu Yuchen lazily asked and started another topic: "It doesn't matter if we are here at the same time. If there is anything I have missed or something I am not clear about, I can ask you at any time. The eldest sister will also follow you. She will be responsible for taking care of you." Responsibility can just serve as a bridge between us."
"Yes, that's right! I will also keep an eye on you at any time and give you reminders." Fu Xuechen nodded in agreement: "In this way, we can exchange identities with each other and make the transition seamless and smooth. What a good idea!"
Fu Rushuang actually didn't know about the exchange of identities between the two siblings. In order to avoid leaking the secret, the two brothers discussed and came up with a set of code words and emergency gestures for communication, just in case.
At noon the next day, Fu Xuechen came back from studying in the palace. He didn't bother to rest and eat. He immediately returned to his Qingtong Courtyard, dressed up and changed clothes, and restored his female body.
Fu Yuchen was already prepared. He skillfully tied his hair into a bun, put on his own clothes, and led Haitang, the maid waiting in the corridor outside the house, out of Qingtong Courtyard. From this moment on, he officially resumed his identity.
Knowing that the two brothers and sisters had exchanged identities for each other today, even the Marquis of Jingbei, Fu Chuanyi, got off work early and rushed home, sitting in the main courtyard with Mrs. Xie, just waiting for the pair of children to come and pay their respects.
"A hundred miles is half a mile away. Whether we can finally pass the test depends on tomorrow!" Fu Chuanyi couldn't help but say.
Ms. Xie was more confident than him: "The hardest two months have passed. Since Xuechen didn't expose her secrets before, there should be no problem tomorrow! Originally, I was worried that Yuchen would suddenly go to the palace to study alone. If he can't take over, Fu An can't help outside the palace, but now, both of them are participating in the spring search, so Xuechen can take over Yuchen at any time, what a great time to hand over the identity!"
Fu Chuanyi shook his head: "It's a pity that the Holy Master didn't ask me to go this time, otherwise I would have been able to take care of him."
It may be said that there are some regrets, but in fact, there are not many regrets. Those who can be named by the emperor are basically close ministers who do not have a heavy burden on their shoulders, are very popular with the emperor, and are well-spoken and know-how.
On the contrary, an important minister who holds an important position and is highly trusted by the emperor will stay in the capital and take charge of various ministries. Fu Chuanyi is also considered to be a powerful and powerful man, and he holds a capital camp. He is not the kind of sycophant minister who is accustomed to flattering the emperor.
Fu Yuchen and Fu Xuechen, two brothers and sisters, stepped into the main courtyard at this moment. While announcing the news, Nanny Xu helped open the curtain with her own hands and let them into the main room.
"Son/daughter has seen father and mother!"
Fu Yuchen and Fu Xuechen greeted each other at the same time, one with a bow and the other with a blessing.
After the two of them sat down, Fu Chuanyi was the first to ask Fu Yuchen: "Are you ready?"
Fu Yuchen answered seriously and confidently: "Father, don't worry!"
Seeing that both his children looked confident, Fu Chuanyi had nothing more to say, so he specifically said: "Although your leg injury has healed, you still need to pay more attention. You can handle it a little during the spring search tomorrow." Just be the Sixth Prince, don't be too eager to show off and show off your strength."
"Dad, I know this!" Fu Yuchen felt that he had never been the kind of person who liked to show off, and his father's instructions were a bit redundant, but he still agreed.
Ms. Xie also spoke: "Although your sister is going with you this time, if there are any mistakes or oversights, you can contact your sister at any time and make corrections in time, but don't forget that as an elder brother, you have to take good care of your sister. Don't let anyone bump into your sister accidentally, and Rushuang, please help and keep an eye on her."
Fu Yuchen should be extra sincere this time: "Mom, don't worry! I will take care of them."
Fu Xuechen curled her lips in disapproval: "Mom, aren't you looking down on me! How can I use him to take care of me? The sixth prince is not necessarily easy to fool, and the fourth prince has sharp eyes, he can hide himself Well, if I don’t teach these two princes to discover the difference between him and me, it will be enough for him to put in all his efforts."
Fu Yuchen smiled: "The day you went to Yuanjue Temple, the Sixth Prince suddenly came to the door. Didn't I fool him very well? He didn't see anything. If I can pass the test once, I'm sure to keep him unaware. "
"You just used the game to divert most of his attention that time." Fu Xuechen reminded: "If you weren't careful enough, do you think he could notice something was wrong?"
Fu Yuchen felt that he had experience and could never make mistakes, so he glanced at his sister and said: "Do you think it is difficult for me to pretend to be you? I am very familiar with your appearance. I don't think anyone can tell that I am different from you." What a difference there is between you! After a while, I will gradually return to my true self."
Fu Xuechen hummed softly: "That's because I have already laid the foundation for you. In the past two months, I have made the makeup exactly like yours, and I have also imitated your tone of voice and actions! "
The two brothers and sisters have been meeting and talking every day for two months, and unknowingly they have developed the habit of bickering and taunting each other. When someone starts talking, they will unconsciously start chatting with each other.
Mrs. Xie couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh after hearing this, but she felt even more relieved. This was exactly why she insisted on letting the two brothers and sisters meet and communicate every day. The two of them were used to hanging out together, so it was indeed easy for them to influence each other.
Especially when it comes to speech and vocabulary, even ordinary friends will imitate each other unconsciously. If there are a pair of twins of the same gender in front of them, and they are dressed in the same way, it is really possible that even a mother like myself will
It's hard to tell who is who, let alone outsiders.
