Chapter 513: Revisiting the Old Place
In the spring, Shangnanyuan is full of flowers and green trees.
Beside the gurgling Surabaya River, willow silk is hanging down and the orioles are singing.
On the secluded bluestone path built by the water, there is a young figure in camellia red. She is running fast with the hem of her skirt, bringing a cool breeze wherever she goes.
Suddenly, his feet were empty and he fell heavily.
When she got up, rubbing her knees and grinning, she didn't want to raise her eyes and saw four or five young people dancing in gorgeous clothes standing in the corridor not far away.
They were pointing at something and laughing so hard.
In such a bright spring light, the sarcastic laughter was really sharp and harsh, and it ruined the scenery.
She couldn't help but step forward to take a look.
Through the gap, she saw someone huddled in the corner with his head in his hands, making a low whimpering sound and looking very painful.
But there were so many people standing in front of him, but they only laughed at him. No one was willing to squat down and ask him what happened and whether he needed help.
She limped over in doubt.
A little girl suddenly appeared, and the teenagers were surprised at first. When they realized that she was fighting for the sick man, they laughed even louder.
I couldn’t blame them for laughing at them. Those teenagers were much older than her, both in size and age. She stood in front of them, and even when she puffed up her chest and put her hands on her hips and scolded her back, she looked and listened in a coquettish voice. , not the least bit deterrent, and quite funny.
They didn't bother arguing with a little girl who hadn't grown up. Fortunately, they laughed and left after a while.
From the beginning to the end, the man huddled up in a ball never raised his head.
She took the initiative to step forward and pat him on the shoulder.
The man raised his head suddenly and glared at her fiercely.
The girl then saw his appearance clearly.
On the overly pale and gloomy face, the dark eyes were glowing red. He was obviously sick, but he looked fierce.
His tone was more sinister.
“Go away!”
She was startled when someone glared at her off guard, and she almost sat down.
She calmed down and asked kindly: "What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Whose young man are you from? Do you want to help you find a doctor?"
He He gritted his teeth and ignored her, maybe because he was not feeling well and didn't want to pay attention to others, or maybe he was just like the other teenagers who thought she was a little baby who hadn't grown up.
She didn't give up and asked again in a good-tempered way.
This time he didn't hurt her, he just looked her up and down with a stern face.
"There are children over there. Go and play with them. I won't coax them."
As expected, he thought she was too young and didn't bother to talk to her.
After that, he buried his head again, but this time, a pair of soft hands touched his head and pressed gently on his temples.
He looked up in surprise and met a pair of dark and bright eyes.
With kindness and a smile.
She said: "I am not a child."
By some strange coincidence, he did not push her away, and he still smelled the sweet fragrance on her body.
He just got through the pain.
She thought he was in a bad mood after being bullied, so she told jokes to make him happy, but she was the only one who kept giggling.
She asked him again what flower he liked best.
He looked at her with disdain: "Only girls like flowers."
She curled her lips: "You look down on women."
His face darkened and he didn't speak, and the two of them fell into silence.
Seeing that the little girl was unhappy, Xu took a look at the spring scenery in the garden, and took the initiative to ask her, awkwardly: "Then what is your favorite flower?"
She then beamed again: "Peach blossom."< br>
He also smiled: "Then I will also like peach blossoms in the future."
Hearing what he said, her eyes lit up, she immediately stood up and said to the young man: "You wait here Ah, I know there is a tall peach tree in Shangnan Garden. Wait for me to break one and give it to you. By the way, I have many friends. I will bring them with me!" The young man sighed: "I will give you a child. Not enough, you still have to coax a bunch of people?”
The little girl was smiling and not angry. Knowing that he was not in good health, she pulled him to sit on the stone bench under the poinciana tree and gave him endless instructions.
"Just sit here and wait for me. Don't leave. I'll be back soon!"
In fact, it is not easy for him to trust someone.
But at that moment, he wanted to believe it once and make an exception.
So, he really didn’t leave, and he did sit here and wait.
Waiting for an exception that is ridiculous just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, he did not wait for her, only for his few royal brothers who had left and returned.
They ridiculed and slandered her along with her.
This time, he was not polite and showed no mercy.
After all, when he is not suffering from illness, he is not easy to bully.
As a result, he had a violent fight with them.
They will inevitably be injured, and so will he, even more seriously than them.
Not surprisingly, this matter reached the ears of his father and little Xue Zhaoyi. Before the banquet was over, he was sent back to the palace and was severely punished.
Unfortunately, not only did he not wait for anyone, he didn't even know the little girl's name.
It wasn’t until they met again later that he slowly recognized her...
He once thought that she could be a beam of light that illuminated his world. Who would have thought that in the end, by some mistake, she would become the sharpest sword that stabbed him.
The sky above our heads is getting darker and darker, and the night wind makes the palace lanterns on the porch sway.
They stood under the poinciana tree, no one spoke, just like they fell into silence for no reason that year.
Gao Qian held her hand with one hand and touched the top of her head with the other. He lowered his head and looked at her silently for a while, then smiled and sighed: "It's a pity that there are no peach blossoms in this season."
< br>Liang Huan moved her lips: "I——"
Gao Qian put his arm around her shoulders: "You are hungry, let's go have dinner."
He didn't give her a chance to speak.
Liang Huan struggled to push him away, took a step back, clenched her hands tightly, stared at him, gritted her teeth and asked: "Just because I broke my promise back then, you-"
She was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Gao Qian glanced at her: "The answer is yes or no, neither is correct."
Liang Huan's sneer came to his lips. Gao Qian lowered his head to look at the coarse clothes on his body, then grabbed her wrist and walked to Qingluan Pond: "It's been a long day today, so let's freshen up and eat again."
Liang Huan was about to become violent, but he turned around and pushed her to the palace servants, and then walked away.
Qingluan Pool is not a place for drinking and banqueting, but a soup pool built by the late emperor specifically for bathing his beloved concubine Xue Zhaoyi.
When the late emperor was alive, he favored Xue Zhaoyi the most. Later, after Xue Zhaoyi passed away, his sister from the same clan took his place. To distinguish the two, the world called him Xiao Xue Zhaoyi.
After Liang Han took a bath, washed herself, and put on a clean robe, most of the anger she had just now had dissipated.
She gritted her teeth and felt a lump in her chest.
But there are more questions in my heart. Can Gao Qian really come to Nanyuan so suddenly without alarming the Queen Mother?
Outside the Donglitai Hall, the palace attendants stopped at the door, and Liang Huan entered alone.
Gao Qian was sitting crookedly, wearing a rare white plain robe, which was exactly the same as hers.
There were only two of them in the empty hall, and even their falling footsteps echoed.
Under his gaze, she stepped forward step by step.
Liang Huan couldn't bear it anymore: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Gao Qian put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at her leisurely, with a smile on his lips: "The emperor and the empress, Qian Lang and A Miao, you can choose any one, except Gao Qian and Liang Huan.”
