There has been no rain for half a month. The summer sun is too strong. During the day, all the plants are listless. At dusk, King Qingping will personally pour water and watch the peonies unfold their leaves again in the evening. His heart will also be moved by this.
and feel comfortable
How many people will you meet in your life who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you? He is very lucky to have met them. Even if they don't get them, he has no regrets about waiting all these years.
After pouring the water, he walked in to have a meal. By the way, he asked the housekeeper if anything special happened today. The housekeeper said: "Barely not, but a girl named Peony came today. She said she wanted to see the prince, but was blocked by the guard.
!”
King Qingping was stunned, "Peony? What does it look like?"
The butler shook his head: "I don't know, my subordinates didn't see it."
King Qingping became anxious, turned around and went out. The housekeeper was slightly surprised. It seemed that he rarely saw the prince so nervous. Didn't he order not to allow any women to enter the house?
He hurriedly chased out, but King Qingping walked very quickly. When he caught up, he saw him nervously asking the guard at the gate. The guard gave a rough description of Mudan's appearance and clothing. King Qingping's expression changed.
He flew out and rushed out
He almost traveled all over the capital and asked all the inns and restaurants, but there was no woman named Mudan, let alone such a beautiful single woman, who came to stay, as if she had never appeared.
Around midnight, the sky started to thunder and lightning. Summer weather always catches people off guard. He braved the rain and went back home to get a horse, intending to chase him out all night. He was like a madman, running wildly in the heavy rain, knocking on the door.
Open one inn after another, even third-rate inns.
The horses rushed out of the city like galloping arrows. However, when he saw the wild flowers outside the city being knocked around by the heavy rain, his heart suddenly tightened. He actually forgot about the peonies in the house and quickly tightened his grip on the horse.
Rein, turn around and go home
However, it was too late after all. The heavy rain came so quickly. Most of the people in the mansion were sleeping. In addition, the prince did not allow anyone to approach the peony garden. Therefore, all the precious peony varieties in the garden were beaten to pieces by the heavy rain.
Luo looked at the mess, and King Qingping's heart felt as if it had been run over by a horse, and was broken into pieces. Everything seemed to be destined. A few days ago, he found all the varieties of peonies, so he closed the door to thank the guests and ordered
No strangers are allowed to enter the house, he just wants to live with his flowers, but God arranged for her to appear at this time, so that she missed him.
Although it was a hot summer day, his heart felt cold when he saw the mess on the ground and the mud washed away by the rain.
Braving the rain, he squatted on the ground and frantically held the peony in place. The butler rushed in with an umbrella, pulled him away and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it anymore. It's raining too hard now, and you'll get gonorrhea!"
He threw away the butler, opened his mouth and shouted: "Don't worry about me, go in and don't step on my flowers!"
When the housekeeper saw his sharp expression, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He subconsciously took a few steps back, but accidentally stepped on a peony tree that had fallen to the ground. King Qingping roared: "Move your feet quickly!" The housekeeper looked down and was frightened.
He had to jump away quickly, but behind him was a field full of scattered peony seedlings. He couldn't hold back, and stepped on one tree and another. In desperation, he jumped out, slipped hard, and fell to the ground.
Seeing the peonies that he had stepped on, the housekeeper's heart went cold. He looked at King Que Qingping with a lofty look. He looked sad and picked up the seedlings on the ground one by one.
I don't know how long it took, but the housekeeper was helped up by a pair of gentle hands. He was slightly startled. When he looked up, he saw a fairy-like woman standing next to him. Her face was soft and she said: "The rain is too heavy.
, you go in!"
The housekeeper nodded unconsciously and moved in obediently.
Mudan looked at King Qingping who was working hard in front of him. His hands had been scratched by the tiles. The rain washed away the blood and mixed it into the soil, making it the same color as the soil.
King Qingping saw a pair of brocade embroidered shoes walking slowly towards him. He said with sadness and anger: "You are not allowed to come over, and you are not allowed to get close to these flowers. I tell you to get away, do you hear me?"
Peony sleeves were raised slightly, and all the peonies on the ground stood upright, and each one looked as if they had not been injured at all.
King Qingping was stunned. He slowly raised his head and saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face. He said he was familiar because he dreamed of her almost every night. He said he was unfamiliar because in fact, she had only met him before.
Several times, not familiar
He stood up and reached out to touch her face in the heavy rain. It was a bit unreal. Something blurred his eyes. He guessed it was rainwater and wiped it away with his hand, but he still couldn't see clearly.
She stretched out her hand, took his hand and said, "It's raining too much, can we go in and talk?"
The warm touch made him wake up and his body began to tremble. He held her hand hard, nodded hard, and squeezed out one word: "Okay!"
Back in the corridor, she stretched out her hand and gently swept it in front of him. All the water drops on his body disappeared. His clothes and hair that were originally wet were all dry now, making him look as neat as a gentle man back then.
He still didn't let go of her other hand, holding it very tightly. It wasn't until he felt that her skin was melting into his blood that he realized that it might hurt her, so he relieved some of his strength and still held it.
Hold her stubbornly
They drove slowly all the way, neither of them spoke. This moment was a moment they had dreamed of for a long time. No words can describe the mood at this moment. Silence is better than sound.
The housekeeper and all the servants looked at the two people infatuatedly, and then they realized that it was this fairy girl that the prince had been waiting for all these years. She was indeed a bit more beautiful than Princess Qingping back then. Even though Princess Qingping was a golden girl,
, but he is a common man after all, and this one is a fairy who has no contact with the world.
Long Chuxia was worried about this and returned to the palace. In fact, she had been following them all the time. King Qingping was frantically looking for Mudan. In fact, Mudan also followed him and ran with him all the way. She was not sure about his heart until the end.
He returned to the yard and frantically rescued the peonies. Her heart suddenly became clear, so she showed up to meet Long Chuxia. The moment they held hands, she left with a smile.
Returning to the palace, it was already the fifth watch. Long Chuxia lit the incense. Soon, the concubines would come to pay their respects. She had also planned to tell Concubine Qin today and let her sister come to the palace to accompany her.
Regarding things around her, Concubine Qin really feels sorry for her sister. She appreciates her friendship, but she cannot allow her to be plotted and framed by her own sister.
It is not yet certain whether Xue Xuan is a vixen, but once her identity is confirmed, she will have to be killed even if she offends General Dingyuan.
