King Shou said "stay", Song Jianing heard it, Tan Xiangyu also heard it, and her heart beat faster. She intended to attract King Shou. Although King Shou left, he was not necessarily angry. Maybe he also noticed her, but he didn't think how to get along with her? A person who has been standing here for so long, and now told her to stay, could it be
Tan Xiangyu turned around with a blushing face, but saw King Shou's cloud-like black eyes that were invisible, looking at Song Jianing.
Tan Xiangyu's pounding heart sank all of a sudden.
But, why did King Shou ask Song Jianing to stay
Song Jianing didn't have an answer either, staring blankly at the handsome prince across from him, his eyes full of confusion.
Lan Fang and Tan Xiangyu couldn't figure it out. One was worried about their sister and the other was ashamed and jealous. They both waited for a while, as if King Shou would answer right away. won't explain. Song Jianing couldn't help panicking, Lan Fang looked at her sister reassuringly, and led Tan Xiangyu away with interest.
King Shou is indifferent to fame and fortune, and has never reported any bad deeds. Lan Fang does not think his sister will be in danger.
They walked farther and farther, and gradually disappeared, and King Shou still did not make a sound. Song Jianing secretly glanced at the green bamboo bushes that firmly attracted the man's attention, but did not find anything particularly worth seeing. A clear sound of heavy objects falling into the water came from the lake again, accompanied by a burst of applause. The voice gave her courage. Song Jianing clenched her hands and asked tentatively, "My lord, you..."
"My brother, can I eat apricots?" Zhao Heng turned around and looked down at her, his eyes as indifferent as water.
Song Jianing opened his mouth in astonishment, what did the future emperor just say
Her red lips were like cherries, and her stunned and foolish look was particularly endearing. Zhao Heng watched silently without repeating. However, Song Jianing realized it. Thinking about her chubby little brother, she smiled unconsciously: "Eat, it's just not good enough, I just hold it and absorb water."
When she laughed, her apricot eyes became darker and brighter, like sparkling clear water. Zhao Heng looked away and raised his chin in the direction of Baiguolin: "There are apricots in the garden, they are ripe."
It was Xing'er's ripe season, but Guo Xiao had already bought two baskets the day before yesterday, and the Lin Yuntang portion had not been eaten yet, but seeing that the future emperor was already walking towards Baiguolin, Song Jianing didn't have the guts to refuse him. With good intentions, he silently followed behind the man, secretly happy for his younger brother. At such a young age, he was favored by King Shou. When his younger brother grew up, King Shou had already ascended the throne. If the new emperor still remembered the small friendship at that time, his younger brother would be beautiful...
Daydreaming all the way, unknowingly came to Baiguolin.
Only then did Song Jianing discover that the fruit trees in Baiguolin were planted according to the season of fruit ripening. Cherries ripen in April, next to apricot trees that ripen in May, and to the right is a row of green grape stands, followed by pomegranates, plum trees, and persimmons. Tree. Looking at the clusters of yellow apricots the size of duck eggs, Song Jianing couldn't help but dream again. When she gets married and becomes the master of the house, she must grow some fruit trees in the yard.
"If you pick yellow, pick a few more." Zhao Hengdun whispered in front of an apricot tree.
Song Jianing snorted and decided to pick only four, just enough to hold two in one hand.
The apricots were densely packed, but not many were yellow. Song Jianing looked at these apricots as if they were looking at their own treasures. Red will do. With a focused expression, she slowly circled around the nearest apricot tree.
Zhao Heng took light steps and followed behind her.
Today she was wearing a peach pink shirt with a long ivory skirt underneath. In summer, the clothes are thinner, and the thirteen-year-old girl has a more exquisite figure than the big girl who is a few years older than her. But what Zhao Heng saw the most was her rosy cheeks, her fair little face, which was more delicate than the newly blooming pear blossoms in spring, and her dark, moist eyes, clean and clear.
Zhao Heng thought of the scene in the water pavilion. She was robbed by the woman, but she had no temper at all, and continued to smile and look at herself.
"you… "
Song Jianing just found a bunch of Xing'er that looked ripe, and was about to reach out to pick it, when a man's low voice suddenly came from her ear. Song Jianing tilted her head to look, Zhao Heng glanced at Xing'er that she was about to touch, and shook her head slightly. , pursed her lips and said nothing. Song Jianing guessed what he wanted to say, but the man gave up halfway, so she had no choice but to nod and continue to pick the fruit.
Five or six of the round Myolie were clustered into a ball. Song Jianing held one, and with just a little force, Myolie fell off, revealing a dense black-shelled worm inside. Song Jianing didn't have any preparation. At first glance, she didn't know what it was. When she saw it clearly, her face instantly turned pale, she screamed, and lost Xing'er in her hand and ran forward...
Her panicked and fearful reaction was too sudden, as if she had encountered poisonous snakes and beasts, and mistakenly thought that there was some danger. Zhao Heng subconsciously hugged the girl who was running away in panic, turned around, and hugged the shivering her tightly with one hand. Looking at the location where she was just now, she soon found the broken hearted Xing'er and the pile of fruit bugs.
Zhao Heng frowned, suddenly hugged Song Jianing, and strode towards the Dequ Pavilion in the middle of the cherry forest.
Song Jianing was really frightened, and suddenly a dark piece was exposed in front of him, and it was so close. She did suffer a lot in her previous life, but it was all in her heart. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Song Jianing never lived a hard life. She was spoiled. A bee flew from the garden and had to hide behind the maid. She had never seen such an ugly and scary black man. insect? One or two is fine, but...
When the situation reappeared in front of her eyes, Song Jianing trembled all over, and instinctively shrank into the arms of the person who was protecting her. At this moment, his legs were suddenly lifted up by him, and his body suddenly flew into the air. Song Jianing opened his eyes in shock. In front of him was a man's collar embroidered with orchid leaves, his fair neck, and an obvious Adam's apple. .
Song Jianing was dumbfounded, King Shou, he...
Instantly forgot about the bug, Song Jianing struggled in a panic, and said uneasy, "My lord, I'm fine, please let me down..."
Zhao Heng glanced at the apricot trees on both sides and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid?"
Song Jianing shivered immediately, but insisted: "I can go by myself, and I don't dare to bother the lord."
Zhao Heng pursed his lips and slowly let her down.
His feet touched the ground, and the arms around his waist also left. Song Jianing breathed a sigh of relief. The fear of insects filled the air again. He quickly walked forward, only looking at the fruit trees on the left and right, and walked out as if he was fleeing. Outside the orchard.
"Blame me."
Hearing the man's low self-blame behind him, Song Jianing was stunned, then turned around quickly and said, "What does it have to do with the lord? You mustn't say that, because I made a fuss and bumped into the lord."
Her cheeks were still white, showing how scared she was just now. Zhao Heng wanted to hug her like before, let her tremble in his arms and then slowly regain her calm, but she had calmed down, and he had no reason.
"My lord, do you have any other orders?" Song Jianing lowered her head and asked, she wanted to leave.
Zhao Heng understood and said, "No." To leave her alone, in the name of letting her pick apricots to bring back to Brother Mao, but at this moment, Zhao Heng believed that the last thing she wanted to touch were those apricots.
Song Jianing bowed his knees and hurried away with a white face. Back at Linyuntang, while her mother was still in Changxin Courtyard, Song Jianing plunged into the boudoir and took off all her clothes and middle clothes in three or two strokes, for fear that there might be insects flying in there. After taking off his clothes, Song Jianing got into the bed and told Shuang'er, "Take it out and look carefully to see if there are any bugs!"
As soon as she came back, she took off her clothes, and Shuang'er, Liu'er, and Jiu'er were startled. When she heard that the girl asked them to find bugs, she finally felt relieved. Knowing that there were no bugs, Song Jianing's fear in his heart slowly dissipated, and then the scene of being slapped and hugged by King Shou resurfaced.
Are you afraid that she will be bitten by bugs, so take her away
At the beginning, did she run into his arms, or did he pull her over
Song Jianing couldn't even recall it. At that time, his mind was full of bugs.
The only thing she can be sure of is that King Shou didn't have any evil thoughts when he hugged her, because as soon as her feet touched the ground, he immediately let go of his hands, no matter how upright he was. So, he really took care of her as a cousin
Song Jianing's heart suddenly warmed. Among these dragon sons and grandsons, Princess Duanhui needless to say. The King of Chu did not pay attention to her and the three sisters of the Guo family. Prince Rui once accompanied Princess Duanhui to laugh at her. The Fourth Highness is more like a child. Wang, did not show any contempt for her background.
What a nice guy.
"Girl, why did you come back by yourself?" Shuang'er took out a new set of clothes from the closet and asked while waiting for Song Jianing to wear it.
Song Jianing told the truth, except for the accidental physical contact with King Shou, she didn't think there was anything to hide, but she explained it simply, only mentioning that King Shou asked her to pick yellow apricots, not saying that King Shou was with her, so Shuang'er didn't think deeply either, and instead asked quietly why Er girl and Biao girl went back to the house first.
this…
Song Jianing glanced at the three maids beside her, but cautiously didn't say that, after all, it was related to Tan Xiangyu's reputation, and Tan Xiangyu was Guo Xiao's cousin.
This matter, on the way back to the mansion, Lan Fang also hesitated to make up his mind what to do. First of all, she couldn't be sure whether Tan Xiangyu's veil flew out on purpose or not. Furthermore, she really reported it to her grandmother, in case Tingfang's sister believed that Tan Xiangyu was innocent... After thinking about it, Lanfang hid the matter for the time being. Come down and prepare to wait for the day when Sister Tingfang returns, and secretly remind her that if Tan Xiangyu is really such a shameless person, it's better for Sister Tingfang to distance herself as soon as possible.
Lan Fang thought thoughtfully, but Princess Duanhui thought the excitement was not big enough. As soon as she came back after watching the water swing, in front of Tan Xiangyu and Tingfang, she learned it as a joke to Mrs. Tai.
The way Mrs. Tai looked at Tan Xiangyu suddenly changed.
Tan Xiangyu was ashamed, but had to defend herself, retorting Princess Duanhui with red eyes: "I really didn't mean it, why does the princess have to misinterpret me?"
Princess Duanhui was about to reply when the maid outside suddenly raised her voice, "Here comes the prince."
