The prince left the palace, and the East Palace suddenly became quiet.
Jiang Qing was in her palace, having nothing to do, burning incense and playing the harp. Her mood gradually rose and fell with the music of the harp, forgetting where she was.
Until she stopped, suddenly the emperor's voice sounded behind her: ""Qingjiang Yin"."
Jiang Qing's hand brushed against the strings, making a strange sound.
She herself was startled and quickly raised her hand.
The emperor said: "Did it scare you?"
He was sitting aside, holding a rosary in his hand. He looked like he was strolling over and accidentally saw her.
Jiang Qing nodded unconsciously, then thought of something and quickly shook her head.
He looks so stupid, and I don't know where the cleverness in him has gone.
The emperor said: "The prince has left the palace. I'm afraid you will be bored, so come and sit here."
"Did you bring this piano from home?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qing's cheeks turned red and she said sheepishly: "This piano was made by the Emperor himself, has the Emperor forgotten it?"
The emperor raised his brows slightly, walked to the piano and examined it carefully, then smiled and said: "I told you, it looks so familiar."
"I remember that you were only six years old. When you went to the palace to accompany your eldest sister, you insisted on asking for the "green pearl" when you left. The eldest sister refused to give it and said it was a relic of the queen. You said that the queen's surname was Jiang, and your surname was also Jiang.
, that piano belongs to your Jiang family. The eldest sister couldn't help you, so she took you to the piano room to choose, and you chose this one."
Jiang Qing lowered her head and said in confusion: "When I chose it, I didn't know it was made by the emperor."
The emperor sat down, gently stroking the strings with his hand, and said calmly: "When I chose, I knew that you would take it with me. You were not so timid at that time."
Jiang Qing's cheeks were red and a little sad.
She is not timid, she just feels that she did not know that there were too many things to do when she was a child. Her cousin is the eldest princess and her cousin is the prince. She is a young lady from the Dingguo Palace. Everyone has pampered her since she was a child. Even the emperor said that she is like an aunt.
, and wanted to keep her in the palace for a long time.
Her parents had always refused because of her weak health. But she remembered clearly that her cousin treated her very well at that time. They could play in the East Palace all night, and they stayed with her.
"I'm sorry." Jiang Qing said weakly.
She knew that she had taken advantage of her cousin and knew that they would not be cruel to her, so she chose the path of entering the palace.
In fact, how could she be timid? It was just that she felt guilty and didn't know how to face her cousin.
The emperor played a song "Forgetting Worry", did he forget his worries while drinking?
But can it really be forgotten?
The sound of the emperor's piano is still so pleasant to listen to. If you close your eyes, you feel like you are immersed in the scene.
After the song was over, the emperor stood up and said, "The fragrance is not bad. It seems that I have no need to worry."
Jiang Qing felt very embarrassed. How could there be someone like her? It was obviously her fault, so why did everyone still feel sorry for her?
Jiang Qing stepped forward, pulled the emperor's sleeve, and apologized like he did when he was a child: "Cousin, I'm sorry."
The emperor gave her the bead string on his hand and said, "As soon as you come, take care of it and don't think too much about it."
After saying that, he left.
Jiang Qing held the bracelet that was still warm and felt very uncomfortable.
It was she who wanted to be her cousin's concubine, and it was she who wanted to avoid suspicion.
If these things hadn't happened, she would have dared to be the first person to punch him when she got angry. Although the fist fell apart like cotton after being punched, it had no deterrent effect. The most she could do was stamp her fist when she cried.
Stomping your feet as if you are the most wronged person is just to achieve your goal.
But when she was a child, the palace was an indispensable part, because all her pampering came from here.
…
At the village in the suburbs, Lu Yunhong took time to see some children.
The prince took Chengxi out to play, and only An Nian and Xinran were there.
An Nian was studying, and Xing Ran was playing by himself. They were all toys made of wood, including a carriage, a wooden frame, and a small fan.
One can play for a long time. Aunt Fang said with a smile: "Miss is the most obedient. She plays with herself. Young Master An Nian wants to accompany her, but she doesn't want it."
Lu Yunhong stepped forward, picked a wooden fish and handed it to his daughter, saying, "Would you like to play with daddy?"
Lu Xinran looked up at him, nodded, and brought a small pole.
Grandma Fang couldn't stop laughing, and said happily: "Miss is so smart, she still knows how to fish?"
Zhao Annian was also attracted, put down his book and ran over.
In the end, Lu Xinran pushed him, as if telling him to stay out of the way.
Lu Yunhong saw it interestingly and gave the wooden fish to Zhao Anyian, wanting to see what his daughter would do.
As a result, Zhao Annian got the wooden fish, and Lu Xinran threw away the pole and brought a ragdoll cat.
"bite……"
She said, shocking Zhao Annian.
Lu Yunhong looked at his daughter's calm little face. Her intelligence was obvious. It was rare that she could remain calm and do nothing in a hurry.
Lu Yunhong picked up his daughter and said, "Shall we go find our brother?"
Lu Xinran nodded and lay obediently on his father's shoulder.
Zhao Annian chased him out and shouted: "Uncle, I want to go too."
Lu Xinran hugged her father's neck and took a bite.
Lu Yunhong felt pain and asked doubtfully: "No?"
Lu Xinran nodded.
Lu Yunhong looked at the confused Zhao Anian, as if he didn't know what to do, and stood there in a daze.
Lu Yunhong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He winked at him and said, "How about you go ahead?"
Zhao Annian tentatively walked ahead, then turned back.
Lu Xinran was already struggling to get off the ground. She was fuming and didn't want to leave.
Even dad ignored him.
Lu Yunhong coaxed her for a while, but when she saw her daughter, she still ignored him and Zhao Anian.
He asked strangely: "How can such a young person know how to get angry?"
Aunt Fang explained: "I don't know, I was fine this morning."
"Oh, it seems that after the prince came, Master Chengxi wanted to go out to play. The young lady also wanted to go, and they all walked to the door. Young Master Chengxi said that she was too young and too troublesome, and he didn't want to take him with him. Then the young lady walked back and sat down
Come down and play by yourself."
Lu Yunhong nodded slightly, it turned out that it was his son who was responsible for the trouble, but why did Xinran blame Shang Annian?
Lu Yunhong picked up his daughter again and asked, "Brother Annian is staying with you, why don't you want him to follow?"
Lu Xinran turned her head away. Anyway, she just didn't want it, she was angry, and she just couldn't coax her.
Lu Yunhong laughed and stayed with his daughter to take care of An Nian's studies.
When it was getting late, the prince and Chengxi both came back. The two of them were sweating profusely and looked very happy.
Lu Yunhong saw his daughter, crossed the threshold, walked quietly behind his son, and slapped his son on the buttocks.
After the fight, he didn't hesitate, turned around and ran towards him.
He wouldn't believe this coordinated move without any premeditation.
Lu Yunhong stared at this scene blankly, saying nothing for a long time. Until his daughter threw herself into his arms, as if she had taken revenge, and she was so happy.
The son over there was still confused: "Hey, why did Xin Ran hit me?"
Lu Yunhong: "..." Nothing, she holds a grudge!
When Lu Yunhong returned to his room, he was still thinking that he must not offend his daughter in the future. Who does this vindictive temperament look like?
He's so serious that he won't even let his brother go!
