The summer days are getting hotter and the days are getting longer. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info until the evening after sunset before the heat dissipated, Chaoxiu walked around the Ningxin Palace, and ordered the palace people to sprinkle the mint water in the cinnabar palace several times. The evening breeze gradually picks up, blowing the smell of mint everywhere, which is very cool. The twilight has diminished slightly, and the hazy sky has not yet risen the moon, only the clouds in all directions are faintly stacked, covering the sky without leaking.
A man dressed in a dark gray robe walked into the palace gate of the Cinnabar Palace alone, and he walked through the pavilion corridor to the Ningxin Hall of the Cinnabar Palace.
The night breeze plays with the palace lamps under the eaves, blowing the palace lamps to sway, the palace maids standing outside the hall are dressed in the wind, the thin waist is like a willow, the body is curled like a willow, the sideburns are like a cloud, there are pearls and jade falling on the sideburns, a little brilliance, decorating their flowers. They bowed to the man in front of the palace gate, saluted in unison, said "I have seen the eldest prince", and then pushed the palace door open sideways.
The bright lights in the palace are shining, illuminating the palace, as if pasted with gold and jade.
Xia Zihai raised his feet and stepped through the palace gate, the bead curtain was swept into the hall by the wind, making a tinkling sound, and a woman in the inner hall came out with the jingling sound of the bead curtain and greeted Xia Zihai in the outer hall. The woman's body is a satin thin coat, the apricot color is warm and warm, and she feels that her body is thin, her thin waist is unbearable, and a red hairpin is inserted in the hairpin of the combed Feiluan, and a soaring phoenix is on the hairpin. She grabbed Xia Zihai's hand, she called "Hai'er", and the corners of her lips and eyes could not hide the fine lines under the bright light.
Xia Zihai showed a hint of a smile on his usually unsmiling face, he stroked the woman's hand, but immediately withdrew his hand from the woman's hand, he took a step back, and refused to lose the etiquette of the usual ceremony. Mei Qianqian looked at it in her eyes, shook her head and said softly, "In my own palace, where do you have so many rules." Now that you have left the palace to build a mansion, you can not see it more often than in the past, and when you enter the palace in the future, you don't have to pay attention to these false courtesies in front of your mother. ”
Having said that, Mei Qianqian's face had another layer of smile, and even Chaoxiu on the side couldn't help the joy on his face, smiled and took the tea cup brought in by the palace people, bowed down and knelt on the ground, and personally made tea for Xia Zihai.
They walked into the inner hall together, and Mei Qianqian instructed the maid next to her to get Xia Zihai's favorite dim sum, and then the mother and son sat on chairs, sat with each other and talked about common things, chatting.
The snacks were soon delivered, and the maid saw that the two were talking happily, and gently closed the door and went out, and at once they were clean, only the voices of the two people and the slightly flickering shadows of the lamps, as if echoing their words and laughter.
They talked about trivial things, talked about some interesting things, drank tea for a while, ate some snacks, and talked about the two of them, and quieted down a little. Mei Qianqian raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Zihai, seeing the eyebrows on his quiet side face, the sorrow that had been buried in his heart for many years came to his heart again, so he hurriedly didn't look over, and after pulling out the handkerchief in his sleeve with a neat movement, he pressed the handkerchief in his palm, pressed the corner of the handkerchief to the corner of his eye, and quickly tucked the handkerchief back into his sleeve.
This action was just an instant, when Xia Zihai raised her eyes to look, Mei Qianqian had already regained her composure, and she spoke, "I heard that you went to the rest garden yesterday afternoon to see your father, right?"
