Chapter 4: The Hills

The group stepped on the road covered with straw mats and arrived at the first rockery outside the back door of Muxiting.

In the distance, it seemed that several teenagers could be seen frolicking in the depths of Merlin, smiling happily. It should be that Licheng also brought guests to the garden to play.

The difference between men and women in Nanming is just a formality, as long as it is not an overly out-of-the-ordinary behavior, it is not very taken to heart, and it is common for men and women to greet and chat with each other at banquets.

"It's not convenient for a group of people to get together, let's go and have fun, remember to bring a maid with you, and be careful of the stagnant water in the courtyard. If you get your clothes dirty, just tell the maid in our house to go and change your clothes. Yi Ying instructed carefully.

When the ladies saw this beautiful scenery, they couldn't bear it anymore, and they dispersed after a few answers.

Yi Chen saw Yi Ying's thoughtful arrangement, and his face was complicated. Yiying seemed to feel something, but when she turned around, she was nowhere to be seen. Even Jiang Lianjia, who had just followed behind, couldn't see anyone anymore.

She turned around, and there were only the two sisters of the Yan family and Song Xinyan, Chunhe and others behind her.

She looked at Yan Baoyun with a smile: "...... The first time you come back, why don't you follow me around? ”

Yan Baoqin glanced at the granddaughter and county lord of Song Ge who had a cold look, shrunk her neck, and said with a smile: "No need, I see that the people in the house are very clever, and I don't think there will be any trouble." The county lord doesn't have to worry about us. Then he took Baoyun and left.

Yan Baojun also thought the same way, so she followed her cousin without hesitation.

Chunhe stepped forward and pouted: "Isn't it just a family that is about to be cut off?" Why did you invite them? She also knew that this flower party was actually held for Licheng, so that many people present were regarded as imaginary enemies, including Song Xinyan, who was smiling and smiling beside her.

"It's just that Miss Yan Er and I have some friendship." She still used the same words.

Song Xinyan didn't pay much attention to their conversation, her eyes just stared at Merlin's side with a smile on her face.

"Sister Song if she wants to go around, let's go, I still have some things to deal with here." Yiying didn't have any thoughts about getting close to Song Xinyan, and when she saw that her heart was not here, she said with a smile.

Song Xinyan glanced back at her with a smile, then nodded and left.

Junhe looked at the direction she left and became nervous: "What is she going to do?" Could it be that you are looking for a cousin of Licheng? ”

Yi Ying was stunned, bowed slightly, what she said made sense.

"I don't know much about ......" Yi Ying shirked two sentences, and drove away Chunhe, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled secretly in his heart: Now, these people are going to be transferred to my brother, and he has a headache. Alas, I don't know if there is anything he likes among these flowery little girls......

Everyone left, and she also went in the direction of the clear canal to enjoy the beautiful scenery of her house.

Passing by Merlin, his eyes inadvertently swept over the stone, and he unconsciously got goosebumps, and he shook his head when he remembered the scene where Yanhong and Fu Nan's ears and temples were grinding that day.

These days, on the grounds that she wanted to do a family affair for Fu Nan, she secretly asked Yi Zhen to send someone to check the situation at Fu Nan's mother's house. Yi Zhen laughed at her when she heard this, but she didn't shirk it, and on the grounds of communicating with her cousins on Sun's side, she generously sent someone to Sun's maiden hometown Chuzhou to investigate, counting the days, people should have arrived.

Her eyes were cold, if Fu Nan's origin was not innocent, she could knife him, but speaking of which, Yan Hui's life experience can be regarded as mysterious, orphan...... Whether it's true or not, who can tell? But if you want to check him and go to Tang Muyi, she will inevitably alarm her mother, but she hasn't figured out the reason yet, so she has to put it aside for the time being.

Thinking like this, I unconsciously walked to the bottom of the hill behind Merlin.

It is an artificial hill, and layers of white jade stairs are also laid on it, but the rain has washed it, and it looks very slippery. She shook her head, and prepared to turn away.

"Zhaoyuan." A gentle voice rang out.

She turned around, only to see Li Yun walking out of the cobblestone path behind the small hill.

"Why is Your Highness here?" She smiled and bent over.

"Didn't you invite me to the next post?" Li Yun raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased her.

Yiying smiled helplessly: "I want to ask Your Highness, it's so slippery here, it's not easy to go up, why do you stay here?" ”

"Oh," Li Yun smiled and stretched, "I just climbed up the wall of your house from behind to see if it feels different from the vermilion wall of the palace......

“……”

What's wrong with the teenagers now? Do they all enjoy climbing over the wall?

"Your Highness is not afraid of being teased by others, but like a child," she pursed her lips and smiled, "have you been doing well lately?" ”

She knew that the man in front of her was full of plans for his future and ambitions, and that he was just a character who could remind him slightly, not even a think tank, so she never asked much, just supported him as much as possible to show her loyalty.

Li Yun didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, and looked at the two colorful finches on the east wall with a smile: "...... The last time I climbed the courtyard wall was when my mother was alive. Unfortunately, it didn't work, and as soon as I went up, I fell down hard, and when I went back, I was beaten, and I actually forgot what it was like to stand on the wall of the palace......"

She listened quietly, her thoughts drifting away.

The life of this young future monarch in front of him was also desperate to the point of darkness for a time.

is clearly the eldest son of the orthodox grandson, but he has become the second son of the bereaved mother, groveling to the arrogant eldest brother, carefully hiding himself, and hiding himself for more than ten years......

In order to survive, lose self-esteem, lose power, and even lose a beloved wife......

- So, the reality is always unsatisfactory. Other people's lives are not much different from ours, the same ups and downs, the same dire situation.

The heaviness and the anguish, the sorrow and the pain,

Depression and cruelty have become secrets that cannot be spoken.

It is only in some moments when I can relax that I dare to remove the protective color on my body, and I dare to quietly show the fragility and scarring of my heart.

She looked at the young man's frosty brows, and said softly: "So, Your Highness, go and stand on a higher place to see, to feel what it feels like." ”

Li Yun turned his head, looked at her, and curled the corners of his mouth.

- It's just that, in order to fight against a life that is good at playing with black humor, you must pretend to be fearless and move forward, as if you have never been hurt, and then fight, grab, and fight for it by any means.

However, thanks to you, I can stay for a while and not have to be crushed by the heavy armor on my body.
