Chapter 23: Old Friends Meet
It was also a coincidence that Zhou Huan staggered a step to the side, just in time to meet Zhou Ying's eyes.
Zhou Ying couldn't help but be proud of her little friend, raised her hand, and waved it vigorously. saw that Zhou Huan retracted his gaze as if nothing happened, and stretched out his right hand to the door. It was none other than Zhou Mei who came out of the door, and she unceremoniously slapped Zhou Huan's hand away.
Zhou Ying sighed in her heart, and after hiding in the corner of the wall on the side, she didn't forget to drag Su Zhi over.
Su Zhi was confused, "Princess......"
Zhou Ying reacted and couldn't help laughing. Now she is no longer the pitiful little one who is bullied and doesn't dare to resist, and she no longer needs Zhou Huan to hide it with a hint of a look. It's Zhou Huan, who is still angry with Zhou Mei?
Zhou Mei's tone was full of disgust, "I said it a long time ago, I don't need you here." Roll on, roll as far as you want, roll me as far as you want. â
"But Concubine Wei wants me to ......" Zhou Huan's tone was soft, a little embarrassed.
"Mother loves to worry about it, I've been studying for more than a year, and I still need you to take care of it? What a joke. Zhou Mei pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully, and warned, "You don't report to the concubine, if I want to know, I will definitely not be able to spare you." â
"This ......" Zhou Huan bit his lower lip in embarrassment, seeing that Zhou Mei was about to have a seizure, he reluctantly said, "I listen to the fifth sister." â
Seeing that Zhou Huan was finally obedient, Zhou Mei nodded with satisfaction, "You go back, I'll go and say hello to my mother, you don't have to follow." â
After Zhou Mei left, Zhou Ying came out of the corner, and Zhou Huan stopped before walking towards Zhou Ying.
Suzhi consciously stopped a few steps away, leaving room for the two princesses to be alone. Zhou Ying greeted him and happily circled around Zhouhuan, "I can count on you coming, and we will be able to accompany you when we go to and from school in the future." She handed over the childish embroidered bag, and was quite proud, "This is the first embroidered bag I sewed by myself, and I will give it to you as a gift, you should take good care of it, I will check it in the future." â
Zhou Huanliu's eyebrows frowned, but he didn't express his opinion on her female celebrity, but only said hello indifferently.
Zhou Ying raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of the place where Zhou Mei was standing just now, and couldn't help frowning and asking: "In Changchun Palace, it was forced by the situation, but now that you have moved out, why don't you take the opportunity to hide away, but still entangled with her?" â
Zhou Huan's tone was light, "If you can hide from the monk, you can't hide from the temple, my mother is still in Changchun Palace." â
Zhou Ying couldn't see her negative appearance, took Zhou Huan's hand, and persuaded with a smile: "Your mother is so cautious and careful, can you be disproportionate, and you want a child to take care of her?" If you only take care of yourself, it will be the greatest help to her. â
"With her prudence and cleverness, how can she react if someone is pressed down by a position of dignity and humility? If even I don't care about it, who else can she count on? Zhou Huan gently broke away from Zhou Ying's hand and said with a light smile, "At this point, I am not as good as you." â
"Did I hear me wrong?" Zhou Ying's palms were empty, and the smile on her lips disappeared little by little, "Or do you mean something." â
"You heard it right." Zhou Huan's eyebrows are still light and picturesque, and his voice is soft, "I have always liked you in the past, even if the fifth sister troubles you a few times, you run into her beloved Persian cat alone, let alone torture and vent your anger, you don't even kick it." â
Zhou Ying said in her heart, if she hadn't been sending people under the fence, she would have raised a cat by herself a long time ago, so how could she covet other people's cats.
However, Zhou Ying didn't expect that Zhou Huan had helped her because of this.
"I also believe in your temperament, so when I heard that you were so sad on the day of your mother's death that you almost lost your mind, I didn't believe a word." Zhou Huan looked at Zhou Ying seriously as if he didn't know him, "Your mother has always treated you very well, and you have average feelings for her, I can understand it." But I really didn't expect that you would be willing to use your mother's death as a stepping stone. â
"You are not only clear about grievances, but this cold-hearted and ruthless heart, it is not an exaggeration to call you a hero." Zhou Huanli bent his waist lightly and curled a blessing, "It's my clumsy eyes that I underestimated the nobles, please forgive me." â
"You're angry with me because of this?" Zhou Ying closed her eyes, and she really didn't know how to explain it for a while.
She is a mature and self-aware modern person, except for this skin, she has nothing to do with Wang Meiren. Wang Meiren was bent on competing for favor, ignoring the original owner, and the princess almost starved to death. Zhou Ying, who succeeded her, was able to fulfill her filial piety before Wang Mei's death, and she was already benevolent and righteous. Wang Meiren died suddenly, leaving a mess, and Zhou Ying borrowed her peeled skin to find a way out, which is not an exaggeration.
Zhou Ying is helpless, she can't say that she is borrowing the corpse to return her soul, and she has no blood relationship with Wang Meiren, so there is no such thing as zĂ i and unfilial piety.
As soon as Zhou Huan saw Zhou Ying's expression, he knew that she not only did not feel guilty and blamed herself, but also was very reasonable, and couldn't help sneering: "Yes, your mother is sorry for you, and she deserves to be used by you." What about me? How can I offend you and end up in the same fate? â
"Where do you start?" Zhou Ying said urgently.
"Isn't it that as soon as you moved to Mingxi Palace, there was no news again?" Zhou Huan saw that Zhou Ying opened her mouth to explain, and hurriedly blocked her mouth, "Don't say that you are strictly controlled by the concubine and don't dare to go out." I've heard that your mother treats you like a mother and daughter. â
Finally knew the crux of the matter, Zhou Ying explained: "I can go out at will, but Zhou Mei has always been wanton for you and knows, if you don't provoke her before, she can let the dog chase and splash snow and water, and now she tears her face, what dare she do, I really don't dare to underestimate it." Zhou Mei can still be a little afraid outside, but when I go to Changchun Palace to find you, I may not be able to retreat. â
Zhou Huan's sideburns blew off a strand of hair, and she pulled it behind her ear, "You can't get in, can't I get out?" But if you ask the concubine to give her next commandment, will Concubine Wei dare to stop her? Explain what, it's just that you don't want to pay attention. â
There seemed to be something wrong with these words, Zhou Ying was silent for a long time, "Where did I summon you?" â
Zhou Huan didn't answer directly, but said, "It's not Changchun Palace." â
It was as if a sugar balloon hidden in my heart quietly shattered with a pop. Zhou Ying smiled slowly, "It's Mingxi Palace." â
Zhou Huan was just silent.
Zhou Ying's smile became deeper and deeper, and the pear vortex on her cheeks was exposed, "What you want to see is not me, but the concubine." It's not that I've disappeared for too long, it's that I've climbed the high branches myself, but I haven't introduced you to a noble person and pulled your old friend, right? â
