Du Xiuying put her hand on Hua Liuli's palm, and when Hua Liuli was about to pull her up the tree, she lightly clasped Hua Liuli's thin wrist: "You are not well, stop using your strength."

After she finished speaking, she let go of Hua Liuli's hand and climbed up the tree, learning how Hua Liuli climbed a tree.

It turns out that when the brain thinks it can do it, the hands and feet don't necessarily agree.

"Sister Du, you have to use your feet." Hua Liuli instructed, "Yes, climb up with your right hand."

After circling in place for a long time, Du Xiuying finally climbed a certain distance. She raised her head and looked at Hua Liuli happily: "I will crawl."

"Sister Du is amazing." Hua Liuli gave way to the side, "Come on, only half the height is left."

Du Xiuying glanced at the hem of the skirt that was in the way, hugged the tree trunk with one hand, tucked the hem of the skirt into her belt, and continued to climb up panting. When she finally climbed to Hua Liuli's side, she was already sweating profusely.

She sat up panting, the cool breeze blowing on her, as if to dispel the sadness in her heart, and when she looked up at the little stars in the sky, she found that they were indeed beautiful.

Suddenly understanding Hua Liuli's intention to take her to climb the tree, Du Xiuying turned her head to look at her: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Hua Liuli smiled, "I was in poor health when I was young. My father and mother wouldn't let me go out, so my brothers secretly hugged me and climbed up a tree to show me the world outside the yard. Gradually, I Learn to climb trees."

"Whenever my family goes to the battlefield, I sit on the tree and wait for them to come back. As long as I hear the familiar sound of hoofs, I know that they must have come back." Hua Liuli leaned against the tree trunk and looked up at the sky, "Yes. The longing and reluctance of family members are human nature and are not shameful."

Du Xiuying was silent for a moment: "Is the princess comforting me?"

"No." Hua Liuli smiled and shook her head, "I'm just trying to persuade my sister to cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh. In life, there is always a time to do what you want."

Du Xiuying hooked the corner of her mouth, trying to make herself smile, but never thought that the tears in her eyes would fall first.

Grandfather always said to her that a gentleman is a strong man, and a strong man will not make himself happy.

As her grandfather's condition became more and more serious, her reluctance grew stronger and stronger. Today, she did not want to enter the palace, but her grandfather who had been in a coma for a long time suddenly woke up. The old man grabbed her hand and said, It was a banquet for the records of history, and she should have a look and take a look on his behalf.

"This is the country of the Great Jin..." Grandfather opened his eyes weakly, "You take a good look at Grandpa, and see that it is more prosperous and prosperous."

At that moment, she didn't want to go anywhere, she just wanted to be with her grandfather.

But my grandfather's hand was so hard and so serious.

So she came, she saw several princes unite to the outside world, she saw that his majesty did not even care about the so-called benevolent reputation for the common people, she saw that the future emperor of Dajin was firm in the face of common people's problems.

If grandfather was still in good health, how good would it be to be able to see with his own eyes

In the end, she couldn't help the sadness in her heart, and secretly came out to cry, but she never expected to be seen by the Fushou County Lord.

What she didn't expect was that, accompanied by Princess Fushou, she did something she had never thought of before. Holding on to the rough tree trunk, Du Xiuying's tears rolled down in large drops, sobbing hard.

It's too painful to lose a loved one, and she doesn't want to be a gentleman tonight.

Hua Liuli reached out and took Du Xiuying into her arms, patted her back lightly, and let her cry silently.

The prince watched this scene quietly, the foot he stepped out slowly retracted, he turned his head to look at the eunuchs who were following behind him, and whispered, "Don't make a sound, go back with Gu."

The accompanying eunuch glanced at the Fushou County Master who gently comforted Miss Du, and shook his head silently in his heart. This can be endured. His Highness really loves the Fushou County Master.

"Arrange two imperial physicians to guard at Du Taishi's mansion. No matter what kind of medicine, as long as it is beneficial to Du Taishi, they will be used. If there are no suitable medicinal materials in the imperial hospital, let them come to Gu." The prince left. Going to the gate of Weiyang Palace, watching the people in the hall pushing the cups and changing the cups, "I remember, there is a painter who painted tonight's banquet?"

"Yes." On such important occasions, several painters will be arranged to paint from different angles, so that future generations can pay their respects.

"Go and see how they are painting. If there are any that are almost finished, please bring them to Gu first." The prince said, "Tell them that Gu is only for temporary use and will be returned to them in a few days."

"Yes." The accompanying eunuch bowed and hurried to find those painters.

Among the painters who can come to paint this time, some are good at painting scenery, some are good at painting people, and some are good at sketching and recording big scenes. The eunuch took a few paintings that looked good and left in a hurry. .

The painters who were taken away were uneasy. Could it be that the prince was dissatisfied with their paintings

After crying, Du Xiuying felt a lot better. Seeing that Hua Liuli's shoulder was wet with her tears, she shyly said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

"Beautiful pear flowers bring rain, what kind of gaffe?" Hua Liuli smiled, took out a handful of preserved fruit from the kit, and put it in Du Xiuying's hand, "Come on, let's add some physical strength?"

"Thank you." Du Xiuying, who had never eaten snacks outside, looked at Hua Liuli's bright eyes, and unconsciously took a piece and put it in her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste filled her mouth, and Du Xiuying felt a touch of sweetness.

"After crying, did you feel better about eating?" Hua Liuli shook her calves and said with a smile, "When I was a child, there was little food at the border, but every time the fruit was harvested, the local people would not eat enough food. When I was young, I was good-looking, and whenever I went out, my beautiful aunt would stuff me with preserved fruit. My brothers said, if I went out a few more times a day, I would be able to open a preserved fruit shop at home. ."

If someone said that she was cute when she was a child, Du Xiuying would only think that this person didn't know how to be humble, but Hua Liuli said so, she only agreed wildly and had no other ideas.

"When I was older, my family members went to the battlefield, so I sat in the barracks with a bunch of preserved fruit and waited for them to come back." Hua Liuli picked out a preserved fruit with a lot of flesh and fed it to Du Xiuying's mouth, "As long as the mouth is full of preserved fruit. There's enough sweetness to be strong in the face of whatever terrible things are going on."

Du Xiuying remembered that when she first saw Hua Liuli, she and her brother were sitting at a roadside stall, eating a bowl of noodles with relish, regardless of whether the diners next to her were noble or lowly.

At that time, she only felt that the brother and sister of the Hua family were too careless, but now that she looked back, she realized that she was too narrow-minded.

Grandfather is seriously ill and still cares about the people of the world. How can she judge others as noble or low because of her status

She was wrong.

Her mother always told her that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. She only thought that her mother was complaining that she was unwilling to get married. Now think about it again, maybe her mother was trying to persuade her that there are all kinds of people in the world, and should not be treated with a uniform standard. Determine whether the person is good or bad.

Now that she understood, it was too late to change.

Absorbing the sweetness from the preserved fruit, Du Xiuying thanked softly, "Thank you, I understand."

"Sister Du understand what?" Hua Liuli blinked, "I didn't say anything."

Du Xiuying smiled: "The preserved fruit you gave is very sweet."

Hua Liuli took off the bag and put it in Du Xiuying's hand: "This bag is all for you."

"Thank you." Du Xiuying tied the kit around her waist seriously, "I will finish it well."

"When you finish eating, I'll send you a new one."

"Hua Liuli, what are you doing here?" Jiamin and Yao Wenyin sneaked out to breathe, and saw Hua Liuli sitting with a girl on a branch, which shocked them both, "What are you climbing on the tree trunk at night? "

"Because watching the moon on a tree is more beautiful." Hua Liuli pointed to the tree trunk next to her, "Do you want to come up too?"

"I don't want it, what should I do if someone sees it?" Jiamin quickly shook her head, "I want a face."

More importantly, her cousin, who even walked as if she was measuring with a ruler, came here today. If she knew that she was climbing a tree with Hua Liuli, she would definitely say that she brought Hua Liuli bad.

She is not afraid of her, but it hurts her brain to listen to her talk about the big truth.

Just thinking about it, the woman sitting next to Hua Liuli suddenly turned her head. Under the bright moonlight, she could see the other person's face clearly.

"Watch, watch... Cousin?!" Jiamin was taken aback, almost thinking there was something wrong with her eyes.

Her cousin, who can't speak loudly, doesn't show her teeth when she smiles, and acts and speaks extremely well, was actually broken by Hua Liuli? !

Hua Liuli is really poisonous!

Her cousin, such a big one, the most disciplined cousin!

Yao Wenyin secretly pulled Jiamin's sleeve: "Jiamin, is there something wrong with my eyes? I actually think the person next to Hua Liuli is cousin Du."

Jiamin's expression was numb: "No, your eyes don't have flowers, that's your cousin."

Yao Wenyin took a big step back in horror, what kind of dirt did my cousin get on

"Jiamin, don't scream so loudly at night, what should I do to scare Fushou County Master?" Du Xiuying stretched out her hand to support Hua Liuli, afraid that she would fall off the tree by Jiamin's fright, "The girl's family, have something to say? Can't you speak slowly?"

Jiamin: "Huh?"

Anyway, she was right again.

Du Xiuying showed a bit of embarrassment on her face: "It's not to blame the Fushou County Master, it is because I wanted to see the scenery from the tree, so I asked the Fushou County Master to accompany me."

Jiamin: "… "

It's done, it's done, it's done again.

Cousin Du, who has always believed in gentlemen who don't lie, is willing to lie and let herself be blamed for Hua Liuli's sake

At this moment, she had the illusion that all the girls in the capital were bewitched by Hua Liuli.

"Sister Du is joking with you, but it's actually me..." Hua Liuli was interrupted by Du Xiuying before she could finish her words.

"Okay, okay." Yao Wenyin thought that she could enjoy the moon with Hua Liuli on the tree, and agreed without thinking.

Jiamin felt like she was about to suffocate.

"Don't tell them." Du Xiuying whispered in Hua Liuli's ear, "Jiamin is simple-minded, and sometimes she can't hide her words. You are the future crown princess, and it's always bad for you to spread this kind of thing out. "

"Sister Du, His Royal Highness doesn't care about this, how can I let you take the blame for me?" Hua Liuli didn't expect Du Xiuying to think so much.

"The prince doesn't care, other civil servants may care." Du Xiuying pursed her lips, "This is just a kind of concealment, and kindly concealment is not a lie. Besides, you climbed here only for me. Did you say something wrong?"

"Cousin Du, give me a hand." Yao Wenyin jumped up and down under the tree, unable to climb up for a long time.

Jiamin couldn't stand it anymore. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she climbed up the tree in three or two steps and pulled Yao Wenyin to the tree: "Little cousin, have you been gaining weight recently?"

Yao Wenyin was nervous: "No way?"

"Ms. Yao has an even body and looks just right." Hua Liuli looked at Yao Wenyin seriously, "If you were thinner, you wouldn't be so good-looking."

Jiamin looked at Hua Liuli suspiciously. Could it be that she coaxed her little sister to the point of death by relying on this method of coaxing women to be happy.

"Really?" Yao Wenyin touched her face.

"Of course." Hua Liuli nodded seriously, "Your skin is so pale, you are too thin and look uninspired. Now, looking at Shui Lingling, it looks very tight."

Yao Wenyin suddenly smiled like a flower, and chatted with Hua Liuli happily.

Jiamin: "… "

Oh, superficial.

When the prince came out to look for Hua Liuli again, he saw that the girls on the tree had changed from two to four.

The four of them had their heads together, and they didn't know what they were talking about, but they seemed quite happy.

Prince: "..."

He sighed: "Let people stay here, don't care about others, don't trespass."

Forget it, his family Liuli would be happy.

The author has something to say: Jiamin: Who among us is not a traitor

Prince: If you want to live a good life, you must always have a little green on your head
