The boy grinned and was not angry after being scolded: "I originally thought you were just a little bean sprout and a little palace maid, but I didn't expect you to be with the Queen Mother. Seeing that there are so many people behind you, you must be of high rank. ?”
Zi Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "Why, you finally know my identity, why don't you hide far away?"
The boy chuckled: "Why should I hide from you? I'm kidding."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Zi Wan became a little more interested and looked at him curiously.
The two of them were standing in the garden, surrounded by lush plants, and it was night. They couldn't see the silly boy's expression clearly, but the brat looked very surprised.
"I've already said, you are a good girl, can you not be so aggressive at all times?" After the silly boy finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I have been out for too long and I have to go back. This... Back to you."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and there was a handkerchief in his hand, but... it was a incomplete handkerchief, one end of which seemed to have been burned by fire, with burnt edges.
Aster took it gently and took a look. It's my own handkerchief, but I don't know why it's in the hands of this stupid boy.
"I picked it up accidentally. I originally wanted to return it to you, but I didn't want to be scolded by you and then stopped returning it." The silly boy shrugged: "But I didn't put it away and it got burned. Don't blame me."
Burned... What suddenly came to Zi Wan's mind, she asked nervously: "Are you the construction worker of the ancestral hall, the one who saved the late emperor's ranking?"
The smell of Chinese medicine all over his body, the bandages on his hands, and now the silk handkerchief in his hand all showed that... the person in front of him was the person Zheng Shuwen had designated to be saved.
Unexpectedly, it was the brat he knew.
The silly boy laughed again: "Yes, it's me."
…
After Zheng Shuwen entered the Qianqing Palace, she was not in a hurry to enter the main hall, but sat outside.
She was a little scared, afraid of the atmosphere after entering. It was not as good as now. She knew that he was inside, could feel his breath, and knew that he was still alive and well. This was enough.
The night is as black as ink.
Li Jingnan has been reading, and the oil lamp on the desk has not been turned off.
There was wind blowing in from the window, carrying a slight scent of rouge. Although it was very faint, he could smell it keenly.
This smell was mixed with the withered and decayed atmosphere in Qianqing Palace, and seemed out of place. Li Jingnan frowned and snorted angrily.
Zheng Shuwen heard it.
They were far apart, but she still heard him, and she could feel the anger in his heart.
That’s all.
A helpless and lonely smile flashed across her lips.
It seems that he still hasn't let go of Xiaodouzi's death.
She sighed softly, stood up slowly, and walked outside.
The group of little maids who were watching the wind saw the Queen Mother from a distance and hurried to Huayuanzi to call her.
"Auntie, the Queen Mother is out, please hurry up."
Aster and Silly Boy were both startled.
A flash of sharpness flashed across the silly boy's eyebrows: "Wow! At such a young age, you actually became an aunt!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but extend his thumb: "I admire you."
Zi Wan had no time to talk nonsense with him, so she turned around and left, but didn't go far. She stopped and turned around: "What's your name?"
"My name is Chen Yuan." The silly boy smiled, his white teeth dazzling in the moonlight.
Zi Wan nodded and turned around to leave.
"etc."
Aster turned back: "..."
"Can I ask who lives in this palace? It seems mysterious?" Chen Yuan came forward and asked softly.
Zi Wan rolled her eyes at him: "If you want to live in the palace for a long time, the first thing you must do is don't ask questions you shouldn't!"
Say the next harsh words and leave in a hurry this time.
Chen Yuan looked at her disappearing figure and shrugged: "Why can't this person speak well?"
After muttering this sentence, he reluctantly left, but suddenly he slapped his forehead: "Yes! I forgot to ask her name! Oh, I suffered a loss."
What a silly boy.
…
After Hua Qingxue and the others stayed at Hancheng Villa for one night, they returned to Shengjing early the next morning.
When we returned to Si Bing's wife's house, it was not yet noon, Huan'er Xi'er finally expected her to come back, and she smiled happily like two flowers.
"Madam, you are finally back. Where have you been during this time?" Xi'er was a quick talker, chattering as soon as she came up.
Hua Qingxue also happily held the two of them. After listening to the two people talking, she realized that Fu Tingye seemed to be keeping the matter of her kidnapping by Xiao Han a secret from the outside world. He was really a bit tight in his work.
"I... I just went on a long trip. Look at the aggrieved look you two have. Could it be that someone would bully you while I was gone?" Hua Qingxue was just teasing the two little girls. Who knew when the two girls heard this? , I really felt aggrieved all of a sudden.
"Madam, no, when you were not in the mansion, the cousin of the Marquis..." Xi'er was about to complain when she unexpectedly saw another carriage behind the general's carriage, and the woman who was getting down from it at this moment was not the one she wanted. Who is Cheng Wanmiao who complained!
Stopped immediately: "Ah, no, it's nothing."
Hua Qingxue looked at her appearance, then looked back. She understood in an instant, but without saying anything, she pulled the two little girls and walked inside.
Fu Tingye waited at the door for a while. Cheng Wanmiao got out of the car and saw this, and hurried forward: "Cousin, let's go in together?"
Watching from a distance, Hua Qingxue actually left her cousin and left alone. She was really an inconsiderate woman.
But it just gave her a chance. She was feeling happy, and unexpectedly, Fu Tingye looked towards her.
"Wanmiao, you haven't been back to the Marquis Mansion for a while. You should go back first." Fu Tingye said lightly, turned around and left.
Cheng Wanmiao didn't expect that Fu Tingye was waiting for her and wanted to drive her away. She didn't want to leave.
"Cousin, please let me stay. My sister has not recovered from her illness. I can take care of her here."
She tried her best to stay, but she couldn't go back to the Hou Mansion. Going back would mean being in darkness, and her cousin would definitely not think of her.
Fu Tingye frowned slightly. It seemed that what Cheng Wanmiao said made some sense and he hesitated.
"Cousin, I know that my identity will make my sister a little embarrassed, but I am willing to resolve her embarrassment. I believe that as long as I work hard, we will be as close and harmonious as real sisters." Cheng Wanmiao said one sister at a time. Very sincere.
Zijuan on the side couldn't help but stepped forward to help and said: "Yes, General, your cousin is your only relative now. If you drive her back to a cold place like the Marquis Mansion, she will be sad even for a girl." ah."
This makes sense. Fu Tingye hesitated slightly and nodded in agreement: "Okay then."
"Thank you, cousin." Cheng Wanmiao smiled happily and followed Fu Tingye into the other courtyard.
Hua Qingxue and Huan'er Xi'er walked in front. Seeing that they were already some distance away from the cousin, Xi'er quickly took the opportunity to tell Hua Qingxue how Cheng Wanmiao took care of Huan'er some time ago and how she cut her own hair. The story about the bad skirt framing Huan'er was told vividly.
Hua Qingxue couldn't believe it after hearing this. She thought that Cheng Wanmiao was a delicate young lady. Even though she had a bit of a young lady's temper, she didn't have a bad heart.
But she didn't want to hear what Xi'er said. She just felt that this girl's character was a little twisted, even to the point of being perverted.
"Madam, you don't know that an environment like that in a big house can easily turn a person into a ghost." Xi'er glanced in Cheng Wanmiao's direction, then rolled her eyes and said angrily.
This metaphor was quite novel, and Hua Qingxue and Huan'er couldn't help laughing.
Huan'er smiled while looking at a girl behind them. She had dark skin and bright eyes. She seemed to have been following Madam since she came back.
Hua Qingxue also noticed her gaze and quickly introduced the two little girls: "This is Yulian, a little girl I met this time when I went out. She is kind-hearted and a good person."
"Miss Yulian." Huan'er and Xi'er quickly saluted Yulian.
Yulian had never received such high-level treatment. She waved her hands quickly: "Don't be like this, don't be like this. I'm just like you. From now on, just call me Yulian, but don't call me girl. I can't bear it."
Seeing that she was so polite, Huan'er and Xi'er stopped talking to her: "Okay, from now on we will call you Yulian, I am Xi'er, and this is my sister Huan'er. In this house, if you If you are missing anything, just look to us."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Huan'er, Xi'er." Yulian was unusually shy.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but laugh: "You two little girls, the more you watch the movie, the more you look like a brat."
Several people talked and laughed along the way and returned to the room happily.
Fu Tingye followed them and came straight over. After he entered the room, Huan'er and Xi'er immediately retreated and took away Yulian who was still looking around.
Yu Lian came out with a confused look on her face. Along the way, she seemed to have not finished walking through the entire mansion, which surprised her quite a bit.
"I didn't expect that Miss Hua Qingxue's family is so big. I have never seen such a big family in my life."
Huan'er and Xi'er laughed immediately when they heard her calling their wife, Miss Hua Qingxue.
"You all know that her name is Hua Qingxue. How come you don't know that she is the famous Si Bing's wife in our Qi Kingdom? Is it surprising that Si Bing's wife lives in such a place?" The two little girls could tell from the looks on their faces when they spoke. Outside, the admiration for Hua Qingxue is like an endless stream of water.
"What? She is Si Bing... the real Si Bing's wife?" Yulian opened her mouth wide.
"Otherwise, you are really stupid. Is it possible that you never knew?" Xi'er spoke frankly and sincerely. Huan'er slapped her hard: "Don't talk too much."
But Yulian doesn't care about this. What she cares about is, is Hua Qingxue really the wife of Si Bing? !
"Ah, Mrs. Si Bing is also my idol!" She recalled the short time Hua Qingxue spent with her: "No wonder, she is so smart and so close to the general, yes, yes, besides Mrs. Si Bing Who else could it be?”
Thinking of this, I became happy.
Hua Qingxue once said to her that sincerity leads to gold and stone, and one day she will come to Shengjing and meet Mrs. Si Bing.
She didn't believe it at the time, but looking back now... everything became clear for a while.
