As the chill receded, the Old Summer Palace was filled with greenery and colorful blooms.The birds are also working extra hard, and the melodious sounds are constant, and the sound is full of spring. Yinzhen, Yinxiang, and I strolled along.Xu was infected by the boundless spring in the garden, Shisan looked good, chatting with Yinzhen with a smile on his lips.Yinzhen was also extremely happy, with warmth in his eyes.I silently followed behind the two of them, hearing their low laughter from time to time, I felt an indescribable warmth in my heart. From time to time, Yinzhen looked back at me sideways, Shisan saw that his face darkened slightly, and quickly covered it up, then raised his eyebrows and smiled at me, looking at Yinzhen and me with a half-smile.That familiar smile instantly made my eyes sore, and tears almost came out.

The laughter of children came from afar, and the faint singing was mixed with it.Extremely pure and clear happiness, both of them couldn't help searching for the sound, but I frowned with a smile. Thirteen listened carefully and said, "What are they singing? The tune sounds unfamiliar." Yinzhen smiled and said, "Probably Protestant! Do you remember the songs we sang when we were young?" Ten San Xiao said, "I remember them all!" Yinzhen said in surprise, "I remember them all? I only remember three or two songs." I couldn't help but said: "Which songs do you remember? Come and listen to them." Yinzhen's expression was rather strange for a moment, Shisan covered his mouth with his fist, and coughed a few times, but he couldn't hide his smile.I smiled and asked: "Master Thirteen, what's the fun, don't be alone and steal the fun!"

Thirteen smiled and glanced at Yinzhen and said: "I dare not say, if you want to know, we will talk about it in private later." Yinzhen laughed and scolded: "Is that why I dare not say it? Say it quickly! In front of my face, I will still tell you Don't worry, otherwise, in private, I don't know what to arrange." Although Yinzhen's tone was resentful, it was genuinely happy.Thirteen and he finally started to joke around like before.Although it was only very occasionally, Thirteen still strictly followed the rules most of the time, but he was already very satisfied.Happy Thirteen's spirit is better than when it was released last year. Deep down in Happy Thirteen's heart, he still regards him as a close fourth brother, a fourth brother who can be unruly.

Thirteen looked at me with a smile and said, "Have you ever heard Brother Huang sing?" I shook my head, and he nodded and said with a smile, "You will know a way to get Brother Huang to sing for you once, but I'm afraid it will be difficult." Yinzhen glanced at the nonchalant Yinzhen with a smile and said: "It doesn't look good." Thirteen smiled and sighed: "Oh! It's not bad or good, but..." As he spoke, he stopped, just Looking at Yinzhen with a smile. Yinzhen smiled dryly and said, "Go on!" Thirteen cleared his throat and said, "Ama Huang's first birthday, I was still young at that time, I remember that the third brother played a piece, and the emperor's brother presented it to meet the occasion. Sing a song to make Huang Ama happy, but when he opened his mouth, the younger ones of us immediately covered our ears, and the fourteenth brother even hid under the table. The older brothers also frowned and held back. Only Huang Ama laughed and listened to him finish singing. Just after he finished singing, the audience burst into cheers, and we even patted the table to congratulate. The third brother's superb piano skills that night did not make everyone applaud so loudly. Brother Huang is the sole leader."

I covered my mouth and suppressed my voice and laughed, "So, I really want to find a chance to listen to it." Thirteen smiled and said: "From then on, whenever we heard that Brother Huang wanted to sing, we immediately left. It's a pity that I only listened to it once in many years. If the emperor is willing to sing again, he must inform his younger brother!" Yinzhen stared at the front calmly and walked slowly.Thirteen and I glanced at him, and we smiled at each other. Cheng Huan was sitting on the swing frame, and Hongli was pushing her on the swing, and there were a few sons of princes and ministers who were studying with Hongli, Shisan's son Hongtun and several little Gege were on the swing, and some were sitting on the swing. Laughing on the grass.

The three of us hid in the bushes and looked at them with a smile. A handsome little palace lady just passed by. She came to greet everyone and then retreated. He looked back at Hongli ghostly, then looked at the little palace lady who was going away, and laughed "haha".All of a sudden everyone laughed loudly. I smiled and pursed my lips and thought, Hongli will be twelve years old in August this year, which is the age at which people can talk about love according to the ancients.Shisan smiled and sighed: "We were on the swing back then, but now our hair is slightly white. Looking at them, I feel like we were back then." I smiled at Thirteen and said, "Could it be our suave and suave Thirteenth Master?" Have you ever done something like looking at a girl's back?" Shisan stared at the children playing with a faint smile.

Hongli was a little annoyed, and looked at everyone angrily. Cheng Huan jumped off the swing, looked up at Hongli with his hips on his hips, and took the lead in singing loudly: "On the banyan tree by the pond, Cicada is calling for summer On the swing by the grass, only butterflies rest on it The teacher's mouth in the classroom is still chattering desperately Waiting for get out of class, waiting for school, waiting for game time There is everything outside the Forbidden City, but you can't leave the palace at will Who is better, Guan Yu or Qin Qiong? The little maid I met yesterday, why hasn't she passed by my window

The history of the master, the broken book in the hand, the hazy feeling in the heart I always have to wait until Ama asks to know that I have only done a little bit of homework I always have to wait until after the exam to find out that I have not read the books that should be read An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, the master said that an inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time Day after day, year after year, hard work Dragonflies fly over in the sun, patches of green lotus ponds The beauty of the Forbidden City is not as beautiful as that rainbow in the sky When can I be like my older brothers, marrying wives and taking concubines to live freely

Looking forward to leaving school, looking forward to going out of the palace, looking forward to the age of growing up Day after day, year after year, I look forward to growing up. " Yinzhen and Thirteen looked at me in amazement, funny and helpless. Thirteen sighed: "I'm going to consider taking Cheng Huan back, and then let her mess around with you. I don't know what else I can do? Does she understand? What are you singing?" I laughed and said, "When I really understand, it will be impossible to sing with such a clear and cheerful voice." Yinzhen reprimanded helplessly: "The master's mouth is chattering non-stop? The broken book in his hand? The joy of marrying wives and taking concubines? What else have you taught them?" I smiled and turned my head: "I didn't teach anything either. , but sing and tell stories!"

Thirteen hands lightly supported his forehead and said gloomily: "You must ask Cheng Huan carefully when you turn around. I'm afraid your story can't be 'Kong Rong let the pear', 'Sima Guang smashed the vat'." I laughed without saying a word.Yinzhen listened intently to the singing, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, he looked at me and said indifferently: "The beauty of the Forbidden City is not as beautiful as that rainbow in the sky. Are you looking forward to leaving the palace?" Thirteen hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Let's go! They will see them later, but it will spoil their interest." Yinzhen nodded slightly, Thirteen stepped forward, but Yinzhen didn't move, and took my hand Be sure to look at me.I smiled and shook his hand and said, "Why are you so serious? It's just a lyric!" As I spoke, I looked at Shisan with his back turned to us, stood on tiptoe, kissed him quickly on the lips, and then stood back as if nothing had happened.

He hurriedly glanced at the children playing, but found no one was paying attention, so he looked at me with a smile on his face. I raised my chin slightly and looked at him with a smile.He nodded and said in an infinitely ambiguous voice: "Let's settle the score tonight!" The arrogance I had just dissipated, I threw off his hand, and quickly chased after Shisan, only to hear him laughing softly behind me He said, "You! You are always a paper tiger, and it will be broken at the first poke! It's just a lot of tricks. If you really want to fight with you, you just..." Thirteen was right in front of me, I was ashamed and anxious, I turned my head and stared at him, he shook his head and smiled, without further words. Cheng Huan dug out mud to build the castle, her skirt was already stained with stains, and now even her face was stained with black mud, she looked sideways at me sitting under the willow tree, and asked, "Auntie, those princesses you talked about Do you live in a house like this and wait for someone to rescue you?" I glanced casually, nodded, then lowered my head again in a daze. Hearing Cheng Huan timidly calling 'Ama', he looked up.Shisan silently looked at Cheng Huan, who was standing in the mud, hiding her hands behind her uneasily.I sighed in my heart, the children all had cold faces of Yinzhen with a little bit of fear, Cheng Huan threw herself into his arms when they saw it, but Shisan, who was not afraid of everyone, Cheng Huan always seemed to be a different person the moment they saw her. Thirteen stared at Cheng Huan, with a flash of pain in his eyes, and his expression was a little sad.Cheng Huan ran to my side, hid behind me, and called: "Auntie!" I smiled at her and said, "Go back and find the mother to wash your face and change the skirt." Thirteen, run away quickly. I said: "Cheng Huan has never been by your side, so it's reasonable to be unfamiliar with her. Why don't you take her back to your house, after a while, father and daughter will get to know each other better, and they will naturally become intimate." Thirteen bowed his head in silence for a long time, Said: "No need, I'm afraid that even if I bring her back to the mansion, I won't dare to face her every day." I sighed in my heart, Cheng Huan and Lvwu are five points alike, the heavier the thirteen love, but The more indifferent. Thirteen was silent for a while, his expression returned to normal, he sat casually beside me, looked at the black handprints that Cheng Huan had inadvertently printed on me, and said with a smile: "You are amazingly patient with children." I sighed: " This is their most carefree day, and I like to let them be happy. When the future grows up, all kinds of rules must be followed, and all kinds of troubles will come. There will always be a lot of helplessness in the royal future, I'd rather they have a moment of pure joy now." Thirteenth said: "Cheng Huan now has Brother Huang, and we are protecting her, but we can't protect her for the rest of her life. It doesn't matter to ordinary people because of her temperament, but for a family like ours, I'm worried that she won't mind if she gets into trouble in the future." I know." I thought silently for a while and said, "I understand what you mean, but it is precisely because we are too strict with the rules that we want Cheng Huan to live a more comfortable life. But don't worry, I have my own concerns." Thirteen sighed lightly and said nothing.I looked at him sideways and said, "When you were young, you were the most free and unrestrained. Who in the Forbidden City didn't know that the Thirteenth Master was having a romantic relationship with traffickers, pawns, elegant prostitutes and tycoons? When you were not familiar with me, you You can take me away and not return all night. Now I obey the rules and don’t say anything, but I’m worried that my daughter’s temper is not good enough.” Shisan propped her head, and said silently for a while: “I just hope that she can live a peaceful life and don’t want her to experience us. I have suffered so much. I would rather she be more ordinary and more stupid." I sighed lowly, hugged my knees, and said: "Although Cheng Huan likes to play and mess around, he is also very smart and able to adapt to the wind, coaxing the Empress and Concubine Xi into love. Although I dote on her, I should say You can tell the truth." Shisan nodded, and said casually: "Although Cheng Huan used to play with Hongli often, it is not as warm as it is now, and now he is not only so close to Hongli, but also so close to Concubine Xi. " I smiled lightly and said nothing, one is the future emperor and the other is the future empress dowager, of course I will always mention Cheng Huan to curry favour, the relationship should be cultivated from childhood. The two were each in a daze, and Thirteen asked: "I came here at first, and you didn't notice it after standing there for a while, but you were surprised when Cheng Huan called out. What are you thinking about?" I forced myself to smile and said, "I didn't think about anything, it was just a moment Distracted." Thirteen stared down at the ground and said, "You ordered Fourteenth Brother to guard the imperial mausoleum because of the emperor's brother?" I didn't answer.Thirteenth said: "In fact, it might be a good thing for him to stay away from the capital." I lowered my head and asked, "Do you really think so?" Thirteenth said: "That's true! I would rather exchange with him! Brother Huang left him in Zunhua Shouling, but he was not allowed to move around at will. It is not confinement. Although the basic necessities of life cannot be compared with those in Beijing, it is by no means bad. " I said in a low voice, "You are different from him. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor has no one who can be completely trusted, and now you are struggling, you would have gone on a boat on the five lakes. But his ambition has not been fulfilled. From commanding thousands of troops, The melancholy in the hearts of the generals and kings galloping in the northwest to the idlers guarding the tomb cannot be dispelled by the beautiful scenery of Zunhua." Thirteen said: "Brother Huang has been deliberately keeping you from knowing the affairs of the court, especially things related to myna and brother ten. I just don't want you to worry about it. I heard from Brother Huang that if you take medicine every day to recuperate, if you don't Worried about these things, wouldn't all the painstaking efforts of the emperor be in vain? Besides, after all, they are siblings, good or bad, and the worst is confinement." Thirteen smiled slightly and said: "Actually, in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Confined in a place, it can be regarded as a seclusion away from the troubles of the world." "The emperor's mood will never be better now. For the fourteenth brother, the queen mother refuses to say a word to the emperor's brother, and forbids others to call her the queen mother. Now she is seriously ill, but she is only the fourteenth brother. But the emperor is now There was already a lot of opposition to the implementation of the New Deal, and it was all implemented with a tough attitude. If the fourteenth brother stayed in Beijing, you also know his temper, and he would not give the emperor any face. Brother Huang is fighting against each other, what is the majesty of Brother Huang? How can you make all the officials obey? If you are provoked and used by someone with a heart, the consequences will be even more unpredictable. Ruoxi, these things are beyond your power, let go!" I fell silent with my head on my knees.Thirteen stared into the distance, also silently lost in thought.
