Princess Zhaoyang gave her a blank look, and her eyes returned to the painting. She had never put down her hand holding the magnifying glass.

"Xiaoxue has my shadow in her eyes. How can the scholar named Miao draw it?"

"What?" Hua Jingyao was shocked. Although she was dozing off halfway through her father's painting, she had seen this painting after it was completed. Why didn't she see the princess's mother in the cat's eyes?

"You... can you be sure that you are the one who painted it?" Hua Jingyao regretted it again and couldn't help but take a photo on her mouth.

"You stinky girl, you will just anger me." Princess Zhaoyang threw a soft eye knife over, and Hua Jingyao felt half of the bones were crispy.

Mom, I am your daughter, I can't stand this.

When Hua Jingyao left Jinyuan, her mother was still holding the Western magnifying glass and studying the painting.

Hua Jingyao kindly reminded him, "Mom, this painting has not been framed yet, be careful and don't wrinkle the painting."

No one pays attention to her!

Yuli smiled at her sympathetically and handed a box of candy with both hands.

Hua Jingyao held the candy box and returned to the embroidery garden.

Zhenlong Pavilion is located by the Yudai River, next to the Red Building on the left, and Miaoyinfang on the right.

Yihong Building has the most expensive top brands in the capital, Miaoyinfang has the most popular actors in the capital, while Zhenlong Pavilion has the most willing guests in the capital.

Yihonglou is a flower building, Miaoyinfang is a theater, while Zhenlong Pavilion is not a chess hall, but a gambling hall.

The Great Zhou Dynasty could not help but bet, but this was only aimed at ordinary people, and those with fame and status as officials were not good.

Even if ordinary people enter Zhenlong Pavilion, they cannot make bets.

It is said that the gambling game at Zhenlong Pavilion is often worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Even so, there are not many customers in Zhenlong Pavilion, and the most in the capital is rich people.

Behind Zhenlong Pavilion, there is a small lake, which is full of living water. This water is brought from the Yudai River. There is a small door with barbed wire under the water, filtering out the fallen leaves and dirt in the water, leaving only the clear river water flowing into the lake.

There is a small and exquisite octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake. There are soft smoke hanging around the octagonal pavilion, reflected in the rippling waves, as if cage in light smoke.

At this time, two people were playing chess in the octagonal pavilion. The elderly were in their early twenties, with elegant eyebrows and graceful demeanor, wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a faint smile on their lips.

The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, but a pale face and no blood. He wore a duck egg green Taoist robe and looked thinner. His attention was all about the chess game, and he was focused and focused without any distractions.

At this time, Ruan Yanluo's curtain was lifted from outside and a graceful figure walked into it.

"Young Master." The person who came in was wearing a light green bia, with a slim figure, a soft voice, and could not hear joy or anger.

The sick-looking boy turned his head and asked softly: "Xiangzhu, is there anything wrong?"

"Young Master, the person sent to you is back. I said that my mother has gone out yesterday and has not come back until now. I am worried..." Xiang Zhu's expression on her face was very plain, and she couldn't tell that she was worried.

Nie Zhengqi smiled slightly, looked at the chess game on the table again, and said, "Yes, she is a woman, alone, with gold and silver on her body, and it is possible that she is targeted by someone. Why don't you go home and take a look."

Xiangzhu's tone was as calm as her expression: "Since the age of six, where the young master is, there is my servant's home. Apart from that, I have no other home."

Nie Zhengqi nodded, obviously very satisfied with her answer, so she turned around again and looked at Xiangzhu, with a little more gentle voice: "Don't worry, I'll have to do it."

As he said that, he picked up the cold tea on the table and handed it over: "Drink more water in summer, especially girls. I like your watery appearance the most."

Xiangzhu's eyes showed joy, and she quickly knelt down, took the teacup with both hands, and drank it all in one go.

Nie Zhengqi smiled and shook her head: "You are always so impatient. The lake outside is just right. You go, don't have to play chess with us here."

Xiangzhu bowed again, got up and retreated, and from beginning to end, he did not go to see the person sitting opposite Nie Zhengqi.

Seeing that she was out, the person sitting opposite him smiled and said, "You little maid is becoming more and more charming. With beautiful companions and no disputes with the world, you will live a life like a god."

Nie Zhengqi sighed quietly: "I am just a dying person, I have nothing to do and can only fight with the world."

A breeze swayed on the lake surface, soft smoke swayed slightly, and one hand reached in front of Nie Zhengqi, and a small jade bottle in his palm was a small jade bottle.

"It's been refined again?" A hint of surprise appeared in Nie Zhengqi's calm eyes.

"Yes," the person on the opposite side nodded, but was a little helpless, "It's a pity that only three were refined."

Nie Zhengqi breathed a long sigh of relief, took the jade bottle, opened the plug, poured out a pill, and swallowed it impatiently. Then she remembered something, her eyelashes trembled, and she looked embarrassed: "I'm too anxious, I'm making you laugh."

"How could I laugh at you? Your illness is also my heart disease. If you don't get well for a day, I can't let go of my heart. By the way, I have good news to tell you." The person opposite said.

"Good news?" Nie Zhengqi smiled and said, "These three pills are the best news for me."

The person on the opposite side laughed softly, and the laughter was not as unrestrained as this age should have. Even if he was smiling, he was worried that it would affect others.

"The person who tested the medicine found it. He has the same disease as you. If his disease can be cured, you can do it too."

"Really? There is really someone like me? But can my disease be cured?" Nie Zhengqi sighed. He had no hope. If the elixir in the jade bottle had not been maintained, he might have died two years ago.

"You should know that the fourth son of the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion is back. I think you have heard about him, too." The person opposite said.

Nie Zhengqi nodded: "It is said that he is also a disease in the fetus. He was taken away by the strange doctor Yue Li before he was about to be a month old... But my disease, Yue Li... I think Shen Xiao should have another adventure, not treated by medicine stones."

That year, Yue Li came to the capital to treat the newly born young master of the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion. Princess Minghui asked the old doctor Jiang to invite Yue Li to come to the mansion. That year, he was less than two years old, and Yue Li cut off his life and death.

"The old man cannot cure this disease. If he can be clear about his heart and desires, without sorrow or joy, he can live to the age of fifteen or sixteen. But if he is as happy, anger, sorrow and happiness as an ordinary child, he can live to the age of seven or eight at most."

Soon, news came from the Duke of Yongguo's Mansion that after the death of Duke of Yongguo's wife, the newly born Mr. Shen Si failed to survive and died before a month.

Six or seven out of ten children can survive even in the Duke of Yongguo Mansion, dying a child is not a shocking event. It is like a small stone falling into the sea. That incident was quickly forgotten. So when I heard about Mr. Shen Si, everyone thought that this was adopted from the side branch of the Shen family. It was not until the news that Mr. Shen Si was the legitimate son of Duke of Yongguo that people vaguely remembered that a child seemed to have died in the Duke of Yongguo Mansion.

It was not until not long ago that Nie Zhengqi got more accurate news that Yue Li came to the capital that year and sentenced him to death, but secretly took Chen Xiao away.
