Chapter 54 Chapter 12 Imperial Edict

My heart tightened, I didn't expect it to be this kid, so who would have sent him here?Niu Hulu, Nala, Concubine De, or him... faces quickly slid through my mind, but my eyes fell on the face of Brother Fourteen. There was a trace of emotional folds, just silently staring at the flames that kept jumping in the brazier. "Huh." He suddenly snorted very low, turned his head and glanced at me, a trace of sarcasm or self-deprecation flashed in his clear eyes, and before I could distinguish clearly, a bright smile surfaced I was taken aback by his face, and Brother Fourteen raised his voice and said, "It's Hongli, come in quickly."

Seeing his new happy face, I couldn't help sighing lowly, whether it's the fourteenth elder brother, the eighth master, or even the fourth master and Yinxiang, it seems that everyone is holding a number in their arms. This mask, when needed, can be taken out and attached to the face at any time. Over time, whether it is laughing or crying, it is estimated that even they themselves will not be able to tell the real from the fake. For some reason, I suddenly remembered the days when I was just married to Yinxiang, the newlywed Yan Er, he was very close to me at that time, I asked him half-jokingly, what is so good about me.Yinxiang thought about it for a long time, and said, you are fine with everything.

I laughed out loud at the time, patted him on the shoulder and said, it’s okay if you can’t figure it out, don’t be so painful and embarrassing, I won’t divorce you because of this.Yinxiang burst out laughing, but didn't say anything, just looked at me with a smile, but after a while, he suddenly said, you laugh as you laugh, and cry as you cry, that's the best way. I didn't understand at the time, and even joked that he would play charades when he praised people, but Yinxiang just smiled, didn't say anything more, and casually talked about other things, and bypassed the topic.But thinking about it now, "Laughing is laughing, is crying just crying..." I murmured.

I couldn't help but look at Brother Fourteen's smile again, for some reason, the more I got to know him, the more I felt that he was just a pitiful person.As soon as the door curtain was lifted, a gust of cold air rushed in, and a small figure walked in with steady steps. When he reached Fourteen, he stopped in his tracks, "Hongli greets Uncle Fourteen, Uncle Fourteen is auspicious." Hongli said loudly, and bent over to greet him again. "Hehe." Fourteen smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Get up quickly, show Fourteenth Uncle, I haven't seen you for a while, I heard that the former Tai Tuo praised you, and the Emperor was very pleased when he heard that." Happy."

Hongli smiled and wiped his nose, "Yes, Taifu said that my handwriting is not bad, and it is a bit like Uncle Fourteen's style before you." "Really," Fourteen laughed, "Dare you, it seems that he is really an uncle and nephew, and the handwriting is similar. Hurry up, write an article and show it to Uncle Fourteen, eh." "Okay." Hongli replied loudly. I stared blankly at the big and the young, the two uncles and nephews. Although I had never seen Shisi's gentleness and kindness before, it was not unexpected, but Hongli's slightly coquettish childish tone made me feel a little awkward.I saw him several times before, and every time he was steady and polite, his mature appearance and calm eyes made people feel that he was not a seven-year-old child.But today, he looks like a seven-year-old child, but it makes me feel even more uncomfortable...

Before I could figure it out, Hongli leaned towards me as soon as he turned around, and called "Aunt Thirteen" sweetly. "Ah!" I replied subconsciously, Hongli was half leaning beside me, reached out and gently touched Qiang'er's sleeping face, and said in a low voice, "Sister is asleep?" "Yes." I nodded with a smile, and inadvertently caught the thoughtful look of Fourteenth Brother looking at Hongli from the corner of my eyes. My heart skipped a beat, and I calmed down before asking with a smile, " How did you come?" Hongli grinned, "A little eunuch just came back and said that you are coming, but after waiting for a long time without seeing you, the empress asked why you didn't come. Fujin and Er Niang were afraid that you would get lost, so they wanted to come out and look for you by themselves. I begged for my life."

I couldn't help laughing, "Your mother, don't worry about you coming out alone?" Hongli stuck out his tongue, "I am followed by a bunch of eunuchs and mothers, besides, it is hard for Fujin and the others to go away at the beginning of the main show, Master Yi and several other empresses are also there, there are people in the room, and the third brother followed Ama is together, not here, so I came." After speaking, he lowered his head to look at Qiang'er. "Oh." I nodded, and stretched out my hand to touch his red face, which was scorched by the fire at the moment, "Thank you for your hard work." After a pause, I asked indifferently, "Today Wouldn't the main show be singing "Wat on the Bed" or something?"

Hongli was taken aback, looked up at me, and asked stupidly, "How do you know?" I smiled slightly, "If you were singing martial arts like "Picking the Pulley", you wouldn't come out to find me." "Hey!" The fourteenth elder brother who had been silent all this time burst into laughter. I subconsciously glanced at him. Those warm eyes really looked like his... I hurriedly turned my eyes back, but the face of Hongli next to me was Even more rosy, he called "Aunt Thirteen" like a twisted candy, and I smiled slightly. "Okay, the play has started, you and Hongli should go back quickly, it's not good to make the empress and the others wait in a hurry." Elder Fourteen said to me with a smile.He stretched his shoulders, stood up and asked again, "Hongli, have you, Ama, and the others gone to Wanshou Pavilion?"

Hongli hurriedly stood up straight, and replied respectfully, "Yes, Ama and all the uncles have already passed by. When my nephew came out, I met Uncle Ninth. He is telling people to find you and Uncle Ten." "Hmm." Brother Fourteen nodded, "Who is waiting outside?" He raised his voice and asked. "Back to the fourteenth master, he is a slave, Qin Quan'er." A clear-sounding voice sounded, and I clenched my fists subconsciously. Qin Quan'er is the fourth master's side, no matter who sent him Yes, I must know that I am with the fourteenth brother. If someone with a heart sees it, rumors will probably spread all over the sky. Although at this moment, the number of people in the palace who know about this matter cannot be counted with a pair of hands and two feet. , but things that should be covered up still have to be covered up.

As soon as the fourteenth elder brother heard his voice, he looked down at me first, and the mocking color in his eyes became stronger. He twisted the corners of his mouth, squinted at me, and said to the outside: "Come in and help clean up. one time." "Cha!" Qin Quan'er responded, lifted the curtain and entered, greeted quickly, then walked over and stood beside me. I tidied up Qiang'er a bit, and was about to stand up, "Ouch." I couldn't help but groaned, I had been concentrating on dealing with Brother Fourteen, but I didn't realize it, my son wanted to stand up now Only then did I feel that my legs were numb.I swayed, and I sat back on the stool. Hongli and Qin Quaner on the side hurriedly reached out to help me, but the fourteenth elder brother behind them slowly withdrew the hand he wanted to extend, and clenched tightly. fist.

"Fu Jin, let the servant come." Qin Quan'er said with a smile, "You have held Xiao Gege for so long, and your arms are sore." I nodded, "That troubles you." "Master, you have killed the servant, come here, give it to me." Qin Quan'er half-bent down, carefully picked up Qiang'er, and held the child lightly and firmly in his arms. As soon as he turned around, he coughed softly at the door, and when the curtain was raised, a young eunuch's face was revealed at the door, with fine eyebrows and sharp eyes, although he had never seen him before, but he could appear here, he was naturally "one of his own".Qin Shun'er turned to go out, Shisi glanced at me and Hongli, turned around, and walked out with great strides. "Aunt Thirteen, I'll help you up." Hongli who was at the side said softly.I glanced at him subconsciously, and Hongli smiled at me. There was no coquettish softness in those very familiar eyes, but a calmness. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, and said nothing. He only stood up with a little strength. Seeing me standing up, Hongli didn't let go. He put his little hand into my hand and held mine firmly. No matter what, this warm little hand was still a child's hand. I clenched it slightly His, Hongli raised his head and grinned at me, a childlike smile flashed by.
