Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Sitting in the yard leisurely sipping tea and flipping through books.The eyes seem to be fixed on the book, but in fact, the thoughts have drifted to nowhere. Quiet, peaceful, peaceful... The heart is like still water, or it may be that there is no desire or desire, but the heart is actually very peaceful. Since that day, I have been staying in Yinxi Pavilion's own room, and Cheng Huan and Qiao Hui seem to have disappeared without a trace. In the middle, Xiao Shunzi came a few times and brought some tea, saying that Mr. Gao is waiting, this is just a tribute Yes, I know Miss Xiaowen likes these, so I sent them here specially.Even Ju Xiang, who was serving beside her, was no longer chattering like before, serving tea and pouring water in a similar manner, but her face showed a puzzled expression from time to time, probably because she didn't understand why Gao Wuyong favored a little palace lady so much.

His whole body was warmed by the sun, his hands were behind his head, and his face was covered with a book. The fragrance of books and the dry fragrance of the sun were mixed together, and he yawned lazily, ready to squint for a while.The more idle people become, the lazier they become. It is true to say that these days I just write and read, and sleep when I am sleepy.The result is that the more you sleep, the more sleepy you are, and the more sleepy you are, the more sleepy you are. I was in a daze, and suddenly felt a little dazzling, opened my eyes, and it turned out that Cheng Huan and Hongli were standing in front of me, Cheng Huan was holding the book I used to cover my face in his hand, his small face was wrinkled, tears were in his eyes, and he stretched out his arms to hug Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan Stubbornly opened my hand and stood where I was, tears streaming down my cheeks.

Looking up at Hongli, Hongli shrugged and said he couldn't help.Kneeling down to pick her up, Chenghuai cried out with a "wow", hugged my neck while crying and said, "Aunt Xiaowen is not good, just like Aunt Ruoxi, you all don't want Chenghuan." With a secret sigh in his heart, he patted Cheng Huan on the back and said, "Auntie will never leave Cheng Huan behind." Hongli chuckled lightly and said, "Cheng Huan, can you come down?" His hand tightened a little more. Hongli shook his head with a smile, signaled with his eyes to go out together, and the three of them walked slowly with Chenghuan in their arms.Hongli asked, "What happened a few days ago." Not knowing how to answer, he turned his head and smiled at him without making a sound, Hongli continued: "I heard that Uncle Shisan said that something happened in the mansion, and he asked you to go back. For a while, but Qiaohui came a few days ago, and she didn't see you in the mansion. When you didn't come back, Gao Wuyong kept sending people out, not knowing what to look for. After you came back, Huang Ama deliberately asked Cheng Huan to leave Yinxi Pavilion for a while. What happened, why Huang Ama is so nervous, is that rumor true?"

Trembling in my heart, I asked: "What rumor?" Hongli took Cheng Huan who was already asleep on my shoulder, beckoned for an eunuch, and told him to send Cheng Huan to Yinxi Pavilion, and the eunuch hurried away with Cheng Huan in his arms.Hongli gave me a meaningful look and said, "Huang Ama has a beloved woman who was pointed out by the emperor's grandfather to Fourteenth Uncle, and you are someone who is very imaginative with that woman." I said dumbly, "Really?" Hongli looked at me and said, "Xiaowen, no matter who you are or what you have experienced, you are not her. In Huang Ama's heart, no one can replace her. Didn't you realize that after the queen's canonization ceremony was held, Huang Ama just asked the concubines to congratulate the queen. According to the usual practice, they should also congratulate the noble concubine. But Huang Ama canceled it, which means that Huang Ama wants this palace to have only one emperor and one empress. He doesn't want the women in the harem to control him. He is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and his worries are all about state affairs. To him, the harem is just a decoration. The palace is not a place where dreams are allowed, otherwise you are the only one who is sad .”

After listening to Hongli's words, I realized that this big boy in my eyes is no longer a child. In such a seemingly gorgeous but extremely complicated environment like the imperial palace, although his appearance is immature, his thinking has already matured. Although he had an idea in his mind, he still asked, "Si elder brother, what do you think the servant should do?" Hongli shook his head and smiled and said, "How can a person who seems to understand be so confused. Do what you should do." The affairs of the palace, the affairs of the palace, one step away can be a matter of life and death."

Feeling pity in his heart, this time he disappeared for no reason, and he didn't know how Thirteen would explain to him that he was sent back by Fourteen, would he have no idea?Always thinking about how to recognize him, but neglecting this important layer, how naive. With a wry smile, he said, "Brother Si, can you lean on your shoulder?" Hearing my words, Hongli was taken aback for a moment, probably because he had never seen such a bold woman before, ignoring his reaction, and directly leaning his head on his shoulder superior. Hongli smiled next to his ear and said, "Is it true that when a woman gets older, her self-cultivation and face will become thicker." He really wanted to please me.So he raised his head and squeezed out a smile and said, "Am I very old?"

Hongli took the opportunity to take a few steps forward and said loudly: "Old-fashioned." He ran forward after chasing him, laughing and joking along the way, running and stopping, he embarrassed me and hurt him, and his mood improved a lot.The man had relatively good physical strength, and after chasing for a long time, he was still behind. When he suddenly saw Hongli stop, he was overjoyed, and grabbed his arm and said, "I still don't surrender." There was a sound of clapping from the front, and he hurriedly let go, and looked forward, the third elder brother Hongshi was wearing a white long gown with silver trim, standing there with a sneer on his face, and beside him was a petite woman with slender eyebrows. With a small mouth and a well-proportioned body, she is considered a beauty, but unfortunately, her eyes are a bit sharp, which makes her look a little uncomfortable.

Blessing him and retreating to the side, Hongli said: "Third brother and third sister-in-law are very interested." Hong Shi squinted at me and said: "Fourth brother is also very interested, but we just came back from the queen's palace. "Hongli said calmly: "Third brother, I still have some things to deal with, I will go first." After speaking, I walked forward, and I hurriedly followed. Walking to Hongshi's side, Hongshi said softly, "I heard that you were taken captive." Sure enough, it was him, who staggered and fell to the ground.Hiroshi stretched out a hand to me, and before he could pull it, he hurriedly got up, held back the pain and hurried forward.

After walking for a while, I couldn't bear it anymore, and sat on the ground again. His ankle seemed to be twisted. Hongli in front of him also felt something strange. He turned around and asked, "Can I still walk?" He took a breath and said: " I might not be able to leave." Hongli looked around, there happened to be no eunuchs or court ladies, seeing him like this, I said: "Si elder brother, you go first, I will find someone to find slaves later." Hongli said: "You are here alone, how can I help you go." I said: "Being helped back by an elder brother, do you think something will happen to me?" Hongli smiled and said: "Yes." Go forward quickly.

Sitting on the ground, looking down at his swollen ankle, he tried to turn it, but the pain made his heart shiver.Secretly cursing Hiroshi in his heart, every time he meets him, nothing good happens.Slowly put your hands on the ground, stand up with one leg, and jump towards the side gazebo. When people are unlucky, anything can happen. Just when I was rejoicing in my heart that I was about to arrive safely, my body dodged forward and the whole person fell straight forward.Close your eyes and prepare to have an intimate contact with the earth.Suddenly, I felt someone hugging my waist. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Shisan, who was about to thank me, when Gao Wuyong beside me came to support me.

Turning around, she looked at him quietly, then lowered her eyelids to give him a blessing, moved a bit, and took another breath in pain.Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Gao Wuyong, what are you doing standing there?" Gao Wuyong helped me into the gazebo, Yinzhen and Shisanyi came in one after the other, sat down, Yinzhen said flatly: "Sit down. Hearing Cizuo, he also sat down and looked down at the ground. Quietly, there was no sound at all.Quietly raised his head, Thirteen looked indifferently, quietly looking at the road outside the pavilion, Yinzhen stared intently at my feet, seeing me raise his head, when they met each other, they each looked away.There was another silence, and I couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I don't feel too much pain anymore, I will leave." Before I got up, Shisan had already said by my side: "Brother Huang, I still have some matters to ask Cheng Huan, so I have to go first." Seeing Yinzhen nodding his head in agreement, Shisan got up and walked out, Gao Wuyong saw this, He also hurriedly said that he would prepare a soft stool, and hurried behind Shisan. The two of them remained silent, and my mood gradually calmed down as Shisan and the other two left. I raised my head and let out a sigh of relief, and the last bit of embarrassment and anxiety in my heart also disappeared. I found that sometimes silence is also a kind of happiness.Just like now, although he didn't speak by his side, he still made me feel at ease and warm.Even I didn't know when a smile escaped from the corner of my mouth. When I realized it, I found that Yinzhen was already staring at me with a playful smile. Seeing me recovering, Yinzhen suppressed the smile on his face and said, "Don't your feet hurt?" As soon as he mentioned it, his feet ached again.He turned his face and said: "This servant has already forgotten, but after the emperor mentioned it, it seems that the pain is even worse." Hearing what I said, the smile that had been hidden in his face instantly piled up all over his face, and he said with a smile: " Yes, it's all my fault." After finishing speaking, I bent down and put my feet on my knees, rubbing gently on the red and swollen areas. With an exclamation, he shrank his feet in a hurry, his heart was both happy and surprised, he was happy because he knew that he cared about him, but he was surprised because what he did today was different from his usual style.He did this to show one thing, that is, he has made a decision in his heart, in other words, he has already decided his attitude towards me.But from the current point of view, this result is not what I want. Thinking of this, the joy in my heart suddenly disappeared, and I stared at him blankly, the expression on his face was still calm, and there was still a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. The pavilion returned to tranquility, as if everything just now had never happened, and saw Gao Wuyong leading the two eunuchs coming from a distance, moved his feet down and said: "Your Majesty, I want to answer the duty." Yin Zhen fell silent He said: "After the feet are healed, find Gao Wuyong." Throwing away Gao Wuyong's hand, reluctantly walking forward in anger, Gao Wuyong looked at Yinzhen helplessly, and saw that his face was indifferent, without a trace of expression.Gao Wuyong was probably panicked, so he had no choice but to follow my steps step by step. The two eunuchs looked at each other, as if they didn't understand why Mr. Gao was so careful. Sitting on a soft stool, weeping.
