Although Mammy was still worried, after Ling Ruo said this, they could only agree, step aside and watch them leave.
After leaving his elder brother's house, Guarjia took Hongzhan to Xianfu Palace, while Ling Ruo went to Yangxin Palace to meet Yinzhen. After learning about this, Yinzhen did not show any displeasure, but
Said: "Since Hongzhan doesn't like my brother's place, let him stay with Concubine Jin for the time being, and there is no need to rush him back. By the way, is Hongzhan's burning good or bad?"
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it's not serious. Dr. Zhou has already looked at it and said that as long as you take the medicine on time, you will be fine soon." Ling Ruo's words made Yinzhen feel at ease, and he nodded and said, "When I'm done with these things, I'll be fine soon."
I have something to do, so I went to see him. Speaking of which, Concubine Jin has some days that I haven’t passed yet."
After exiting the Yangxin Palace, Ling Ruo wanted to go to the Xianfu Palace to talk to Guarjia about the incident, but saw an unexpected person when passing by the Yikun Palace.
"Second brother, why is he here?" Before Shui Xiu finished speaking, Ling Ruo had already made a silencing gesture towards her, indicating that she should keep quiet so as not to alarm Hong Shi who was not far away, and pulled him
Shuixiu hid in a dark place where she could not be easily found.
Guarjia said that Hongshi had been near Yikun Palace just the day before yesterday, and he didn't expect to be here again today. It seemed that he really missed Xu Changzai.
Ling Ruo's guess was correct. At this moment, Hong's mind was filled with the shadow of Xu Changzai. He restrained the thoughts in his heart again and again, but no matter how hard he tried to restrain, he could not completely give up. He wanted to see her and couldn't wait to see her.
.But he had no reason to go and no identity to go, so he could only wander outside Yikun Palace.
He knew that it would be dangerous if he continued like this, and he might even harm himself, but he couldn't help it. Xu Changzai was like an addictive poppy, making him want to go crazy.
No, he can't think about it anymore, let alone step into Yikun Palace. He should go back and be his betrothed prince. Yes, he should go back!
With the flesh on his cheeks twitching, Hongshi reluctantly turned around and wanted to leave. However, just after taking a few steps, there was the sound of the palace door opening behind him. He looked back and could no longer look away after just one glance.
Eyes. Because... the one who walked out of the palace gate was Xu Changzai, whom he had been thinking about day and night.
Mrs. Xu originally wanted to take the palace servants to fly a kite in the imperial garden, but she didn't expect to see Hongshi. She was very embarrassed for a moment. Although they only met once, the way Hongshi stared at her made Xu Mrs.
She couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. This time, although the way he looked at her was much more restrained, the essence was still the same as before. That kind of depth and concentration made her have the urge to escape.
Although I didn't want to see Hongshi, but since I met him, I couldn't leave like this, so I could only suppress the fear in my heart, bow to Hongshi, and call softly: "Second Brother."
Hongshi glanced at the hands of the palace servant behind Xu, "Is Xu Changzai going to fly a kite?"
"Yes." Xu responded solemnly, and then asked: "Why is the second elder brother here?"
Hongshi said casually: "I was walking around randomly, but I didn't expect to end up here." After that, he asked again: "Did Chang make this butterfly kite by himself?"
Mrs. Xu nervously pursed her hair around her ears and said, "Yes, I didn't do it well and made the second elder brother laugh."
"Can you let me have a look?" Faced with Hongshi's request, Xu motioned to the palace attendant to hand the kite to him. The latter looked at it carefully and then smiled and said: "If it's not bad to be here all the time, then... No kite can be called a good name. But I was surprised, I didn’t expect Chang Zai to be able to make a kite."
"My second elder brother was so impressed. When I was at home, my father taught me how to make a kite. I had nothing to do these days, so I made one. Although it was decent, it was a bit rusty after all, and I couldn't draw butterflies well. "
"I feel very good." As he said this, Hongshi's mind flashed back to the time when he and Suo Chuo Luo went to fly kites in the suburbs of Beijing. At that time, he was really happy, and he really wanted to... he really wanted to turn back time.
Mrs. Xu saw him distracted with the kite and said strangely: "Second Brother? Second Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Hongshi came back to his senses and said: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something." As he said that, he raised the kite in his hand and said: "I like this kite made by Chang Zai very much. I wonder if I can invite Chang Zai to do it." Are you making one for me too?"
"Does the second elder brother also like flying kites? This shouldn't be..." Ms. Xu wanted to say that women and children like it. How could Hongshi like it? But when the words came to her lips, she felt embarrassed to ask. After all, she and Hongshi I'm not familiar with him, even now I've only met him for the second time.
Hongshi smiled and said: "It's not me, it's Yong Lin. He has always wanted to fly kites, but the ones he bought either didn't have good workmanship or poor painting, and he didn't like them."
"Is Yonglin the second elder brother's child?" After getting the exact answer, Mrs. Xu thought for a while, took the kite returned from the palace servant and handed it over again, "If the second elder brother doesn't mind it, , just give this kite to Brother Lin first, so as to save you another trip."
Hongshi raised an eyebrow and said, "But in this case, won't Chang Zai be unable to release it?"
"Just make another one. As long as there are things left and right, we can make it again soon." Facing Mrs. Xu's smile, Hongshi couldn't bear to blink. After a while, he said: "It's just that Yonglin doesn't like butterfly kites."
"Is that so?" Mrs. Xu hesitated and said, "Then I will make him an eagle kite another day. But if this happens, the second elder brother will have to come again."
Hongshi said without hesitation: "It doesn't matter, I often go to the palace to pay my respects to the emperor's mother. Besides, your place is not far from Kunning Palace."
"Well, the second elder brother will come here tomorrow to get the kite." After that, she handed the kite forward, "As for this, the second elder brother will take it first."
"In that case, thank you Chang Zai." When Hongshi reached out to take it, their hands accidentally touched each other. Feeling the temperature that was different from his own, Xu quickly retracted his hand, and his cheeks trembled slightly. Hong, she lowered her head and said, "Goodbye."
Saying this, she didn't dare to look at Hong Shi. She just held the palace man's hand and walked quickly back to Yikun Palace. She breathed a sigh of relief until the palace door was closed. However, her eyes unconsciously stayed in contact with Hong Shi. on that hand.
After being cut off by the palace gate, Hongshi looked disappointed and stayed for a while before leaving with the kite. After he walked away, Ling Ruo held Shuixiu's hand and walked out of the darkness.
Shui Xiu withdrew her gaze and said softly: "Master, it seems that the second elder brother has taken the bait."
