There was a light rain at noon. In the courtyard of the Warm Fragrance Palace, a weeping begonia flower was planted, and the pink flowers bloomed delicately and vulgarly. The floral fragrance is very light, but as long as you calm down, you will smell a silent fragrance between the faint jumps, warm and timeless.

It was getting darker, the rain was getting heavier, and the wind seemed to be stronger. Qiyun walked to the door and watched quietly for a while, watching the begonia flowers being blown left and right, swaying in the wind and rain. She found a few slender sticks of wood and built a shelf for the flowers.

When Helian Ding entered the Warm Incense Palace, he saw that she was busy and happy. couldn't help but stop and looked at her silently. Her slender waist was slightly bent, and her posture was light. The drizzle hit her hair like a fine layer of pearls.

She seems gentle and supple, and usually doesn't like to talk. However, once he spoke, he was quick and talkative, and even the man sighed to himself. On the city tower, in the face of his father's difficulties and coercion, he was able to deal with it calmly and easily. Both weak and tenacious, unlike other women, he silently gave her these evaluations in his heart.

Qiyun got the last flower branch right, and when he was about to turn around, he didn't expect the hem of his clothes to be hung by the flower branch. She frowned slightly and tugged at the hem of her clothes.

"Zhuohua, don't move, I'll help you." He said aloud, walked over, and helped her pull out the hem of her clothes, and Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

When Helian withdrew his hand, the sleeves of his robe were scratched by the thin thorns of the wooden strips, and he picked out some silk threads. He glanced at it, frowned slightly, regained his composure, and comforted Qiyun: "It's nothing, it's just a piece of clothing." Qiyun, you are drenched in the rain, go into the house and wipe it, and be careful not to get sick when you get wet. ”

As he walked through the corridor, he took off his robe, threw it on the railing, and went straight out of the garden. Qiyun stood there, looked at the outer robe, walked over and picked it up, looked at the torn silk threads, and his eyebrows moved.

At dinner in the evening, Helian Ding came to see her and brought Qiyun's favorite yokan. He stepped into the room, stunned.

At the beginning of the lanterns in the Warm Fragrance Palace, Qiyun turned on the lights, carefully sewing and mending his clothes, his long eyelashes drooping and trembling slightly. The plain palace dress is better on her body than the gorgeous dress.

His heart was surging with strange emotions, a little uneasy and a little anxious, and he couldn't help but say, "Qiyun, don't waste time. I won't wear a shirt that has been mended. ”

Qiyun, who lowered his head to sew, was startled by his sudden sound, and the needle prick was obliquely pierced into his finger, and there was a tingling pain. She frowned slightly, and when she looked down, fine beads of blood were coming out. She inhaled softly, put her fingers in her mouth and sucked.

Such an action was unintentional for Qiyun, but it attracted him to can't help but walk over and look at her in a daze.

"You...... What are you looking at me for? Qiyun looked up, a little surprised by his gaze.

"I used to think that my mother was the best-looking person in the world. Now, I think..."Helian Ding's face was a little red, and he couldn't speak.

"Your mother? Why haven't I seen her for so many days here? Qiyun put down her shirt and asked in a harmonious voice.

Helian sat opposite her, his face a little sad and said, "Actually, I haven't seen my mother either. It is said that my mother passed away shortly after giving birth to me. My father said to me, "My mother is the most beautiful and intelligent woman in the world." Pity...... I haven't even seen her face. ”

Qiyun said apologetically, "I'm sorry. ”

"It's okay, it was a long time ago. I'm used to it, but fortunately, my father is kind to me. And also... Qiyun, you are also very good to me. Helian Ding smiled slightly, his slightly frowning brows stretched, and he looked even more handsome.

"You just got a needle on your finger, does it matter?" Helian Ding asked with concern.

Qiyun smiled and shook her head, and continued to pick up the needle and thread, mending the cuffs of her robe. Helian fixed his chin with his hand, sat next to him and watched for a while, and persuaded: "Qiyun, stop doing these needlework under the lamp, be careful of hurting your eyes." Besides, we Helian never wear mended clothes. ”

"I know that the supplies in your Xia Kingdom Palace are all exquisite, but every scoop and cloth is not easy to come by. This robe is just a silk thread that can be mended. ”

"Qiyun, as the county lord, you can do these needlework. I don't think Limin will do this. Helian Ding was idle intentionally or unintentionally.

"I grew up in Liu Yu's mansion since I was a child, and I learned a little from his eldest daughter." Qiyun said while flying the needle and walking the line: "Although Liu Yu is a powerful minister and a lieutenant, his life is extremely simple. Some of the needlework at home can be made by the female dependents, and the damaged clothes are also used after repairing. ”

"There are such people in the world!" Helian couldn't believe it.

"I've lived in his house for a few years, and I've learned a little bit about their daily lives." Qiyun picked up the clothes in his hand and handed it to him, "This is good......

He took the clothes she handed over, glanced at them casually, his expression froze, and then said, "Langhua." His fingers caressed the white flowers embroidered on the broken cuffs. The robe seemed to be even more perfect.

"I'm just embroidering the pattern casually, how do you know that the road is a flower flower?" Qiyun couldn't find the pattern, so he thought about the white jade pattern embroidered on his arm.

Helian Ding said: "In the royal court where I saw my father when I was a child, there was a flower inlaid with pearls and jade on the table. My father told me that it was called Langhua, and the color was exactly the same as this one. When Qiyun heard this, he knew in his heart that the flower he had embedded in his right arm was called Langhua.

Helian Ding's fingers gently stroked the delicate flower on his sleeve, and strange ripples appeared in his heart. Then, he handed the yokan he brought to Qiyun, "Qiyun has worked hard, I see that you haven't eaten dinner yet." I brought your favorite yokan, which was specially made by Mao Xiuzhi, you can eat it hot! ”

Qiyun was a little overjoyed when he saw the yokan, took it with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Your Royal Highness Xie Luxie." ”

"Why are you always so polite to me?" Helian Ding was a little disappointed.

Qiyun was silent, bowed his head and ate the yokan, and suddenly remembered the scene of being with the Buddha and inviting him to eat the yokan, and Lu Ying was on the side, and the three of them talked and laughed. Thinking of the past, Qiyun's heart was stagnant, a little sour, and said to Helian Ding: "I have a maid who has served me since I was a child, and we were separated when we escaped from Guanzhong, and her name is Lu Ying. Trouble the fifth prince, can you help me find her? ”

Helian Ding recalled, "On that day, I did see a maid on the march. She said that it was someone from the county lord's side, dressed in green, I wonder if it was her? ”

"On that day, she was indeed dressed in green, it should be her!" Qiyun shouted in surprise, grabbed Helianding's arm and asked, "Where is she now?" ”

Helian Ding shook his head lightly regretfully and said, "Right now, I don't know where she went. All I remember is that I ordered the prince's subordinates to take her to the captive camp. ”

Qiyun listened and let go of her hand in disappointment. When he saw her like this, he hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry, I will look for you carefully." ”

Seeing Qiyun's gloomy expression, Helian Ding hurriedly diverted the topic and pushed the plate of yokan in front of Qiyun.

Helian Ding saw that she was still a little unsatisfied after eating, and couldn't help laughing: "You have always been a picky eater, but you love the southern food made by Mao Xiuzhi the most, which shows that it is really delicious in the world." Now I also know that Jiangnan is really rich in products and outstanding people. ”

Qiyun supported himself with one hand, turned his head sideways to meditate on his thoughts, his eyes flickered, his face was gentle, and his slightly wide sleeves slipped off, revealing a snow-white arm. Helian couldn't take his eyes off it, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to caress her wrist.

Qiyun withdrew his hand and said to him coquettishly: "There are a lot of fun things for the Han people in Jiangnan!" Go back today, and come back in a few days. I've got something interesting for you, and thank you for everything you've done for me over the past few days, okay? Her voice was lazy and soft, as if she was coquettish, and she looked at him with a pair of water-cut eyes, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

Helian was stunned, and he couldn't resist it. When he walked out of the door, he reluctantly said, "Qiyun, say okay, I will definitely come next time." ”

Qiyun urged him, "Zhilu said, next time you come, you just wait for a surprise." Qiyun's eyes looked at him like a puddle of spring water, which was already a surprise to him. There are even bigger surprises, I don't know what? Helian Ding tossed and turned all night, and his heart was full of hope.
