Originally, Jiang Ling was going to take this royal guest to visit the Jiangfu Garden and have a good relationship with him by the way, but Zhou Chengzhi said that he was tired from the boat and car, so he had to rest for half a day.

When Jiang Ling heard this, he thought that he was going back to his room to take a nap, and he was still a little disappointed, but he didn't know that he was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and didn't leave, and Jiang Ling could only accompany him.

At this time, Jiang Ling realized that the rumors in the past were not all false, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince really didn't say much, so he only asked her to tell him some Yangzhou customs.

Jiang Ling has been away from Yangzhou for many years, and this time he has come back to life, and he has not had a chance to go out, so he can only rack his brains to think about some things that he still remembers in his previous life, which are nothing more than some customs and customs that everyone knows. She still knows some stories about the fireworks and willow lanes in Yangzhou City, but she just told it from a nine-year-old girl, but I'm afraid it's a little out of place.

What's more, Zhou Chengzhi is still just a child, and it is not good to teach a child badly.

She said a little boring, Zhou Chengzhi kept looking at her, but the expression seemed to be empty, and I don't know if I heard it or not. It didn't take long for Zhou Chengzhi's eyes to be a little dilated, his fan-like eyelashes blinked, and he slowly lay on the stone table, breathing evenly.

"Third Prince-" Jiang Ling called him, but there was no response.

She pushed his arm with her hand again, and called softly: "Brother Chengzhi, go in and sleep when you are sleepy, sleep here and be careful of catching a cold." ”

Although it was early afternoon, it was only early summer, and it was obviously a little cold when I slept on the stone table.

Zhou Chengzhi's lips opened slightly, and he spit out two words vaguely: "Ling'er." ”

"I'm here." Jiang Ling roughly recognized his pronunciation and approached him to respond.

From a distance, she could see his face clearly. Because of his youth, his skin is like porcelain, and he is really born with jade face and red lips, which is extremely exquisite.

Just as she could see her mind, Zhou Chengzhi suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her in front of him, wrapped his arms around her waist with one hand, and let her lean on him.

Jiang Ling wanted to struggle, but found that his hands were very hard, as if he was holding her tightly. She nudged him: "Third prince...... Wake up......"

But Zhou Chengzhi still didn't react, and the sound of breathing was even deeper.

Jiang Ling couldn't help but be a little anxious, even if she was really just a nine-year-old baby, she also understood the truth that men and women could not kiss. Holding a small hand can still be regarded as two little guesses, but now being held so tightly is a little unreasonable.

She was about to break away with all her might, when the elusive guard suddenly appeared a few meters away.

Jiang Ling saw the savior and gestured to him.

Chasing Yun strode over with a paralyzed face, and said softly: "Your Highness hasn't closed your eyes much in the past two days, and now you must be extremely sleepy." Your Highness will be angry if his sleep is disturbed on weekdays. I also hope that Miss Ling'er will not wake up His Highness. ”

Jiang Ling was dumbfounded: "That...... So I'm just waiting for him to wake up? He's going to catch a cold when he falls asleep like this, right? ”

Chasing Yun thought slightly: "I tried to carry His Highness into the house." ”

Chasing Yun carefully took away Zhou Chengzhi's hand that was holding Jiang Ling's small waist, but as soon as he succeeded, he muttered, so frightened that Chasing Cloud and Jiang Ling didn't dare to move anymore.

Zhou Chengzhi was really sleepy, but he didn't wake up, but his free hand grabbed it in the air, and finally somehow held Jiang Ling's hand, and then the person was quiet again.

Chaiyun breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Zhou Chengzhi, and said to Jiang Ling: "Miss Trouble will follow up." ”

Jiang Ling's little hand was tightly grasped by Zhou Chengzhi, and he had no choice but to follow.

In fact, Zhou Chengzhi slept quite honestly, and after being put on the bed, he lay flat and straight, and did not move, but just grabbed Jiang Ling's hand and never let go.

Chaiyun breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Please also trouble Miss Ling'er to be considerate." ”

Jiang Ling actually noticed the tiredness under Zhou Chengzhi's eyes, although he didn't know what was wrong with catching others in his sleep, but it was also related to his lack of favor and isolation in the palace, and the loveless teenager should always have some little hobbies that no one knows or even knows about.

Jiang Ling was complacent about his great discovery.

She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the handsome young man, unable to figure out how he had become such a cruel tyrant. Obviously, the current Zhou Chengzhi is well-behaved but harmless to people and animals, and she wants to touch this cute handsome face.

Chasing clouds disappeared again without a trace, and in the bedroom of Jing Yayuan, only these two children were left at this time. Zhou Chengzhi's breath was long and deep, as if he had entered a sweet dream.

Jiang Ling was infected by this breath, and unconsciously some tiredness struck, her eyelids fought up and down, and finally leaned on the bedside and closed her eyes, and entered her own dark sweet country.

When he woke up, Jiang Ling found that he was lying on the bed at some point, and he had a thin quilt on his body. Zhou Chengzhi sat in the position she had just placed, but this time he didn't hold her hand, just sat quietly on the edge of the bed and looked at her, with a weird smile on his face.

Just when she opened her eyes, the strangeness in that smile disappeared, and only the natural gentleness remained.

Jiang Ling thought he was wrong, stretched out his little hand and rubbed his eyes: "Why did I sleep?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "As soon as I woke up and found that I was holding your hand, I knew that I must have made an old mistake when I was sleeping, and I always liked to drag something and put you on the bed when I saw you sleeping, so as not to wake up with back pain." ”

Jiang Ling sat up, pouted a little worriedly, and asked, "Brother Chengzhi, have you slept well?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi nodded: "It's almost, you shouldn't be able to sleep at night." ”

Jiang Ling asked again: "I heard from your guards that you haven't closed your eyes much for two days in a row, why?" Can't sleep on the road? ”

Zhou Chengzhi looked at her and smiled: "Because I have always longed for the scenery of Yangzhou, I am inevitably excited when I am close to Yangzhou." ”

Jiang Ling didn't think about it, and nodded: "I see, it seems that Brother Chengzhi really yearns for Yangzhou." That's it, and asked curiously, "Then what do you yearn for Yangzhou the most?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi: "Of course it's from Yangzhou. ”

Jiang Ling was puzzled: "The people in Beijing and Yangzhou are all people, what can be the difference?" ”

Zhou Cheng knew: "Of course it is different, one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, Yangzhou belongs to the south of the Yangtze River, and the people are outstanding." As he spoke, he actually reached out and pinched Jiang Ling's face, "Look, Ling Er has lived in Yangzhou for a few years, isn't it very cute and cute?" ”

Jiang Ling smiled: "Which female doll as big as Ling Er is not smart?" I think Brother Chengzhi in the capital is more intelligent than Ling'er! ”

Ever since Jiang Ling realized that Zhou Chengzhi's personality was very different from what she had heard, she let go of the fear she had of him before. What's more, he's only an eleven-year-old kid now. Therefore, when talking to him, there is no need to be false and wrong.

The two have just met, but they are familiar with each other for a long time, as if Zhou Chengzhi is her cousin.

But only as if. The so-called Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when it came to his cousin, Jiang Ling's true cousin immediately appeared.

At this time, it was close to evening, and the two sons of the Jiang family and the second prince Zhou Chengwen had already returned home from the market. Zhou Chengwen's voice came from outside: "Chasing clouds, is my cousin Ling'er still here?" ”

Zhou Chengzhi's originally smiling face instantly turned a little colder. I only heard Chaiyun reply outside: "Miss Ling'er is inside, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhou Chengwen said: "What are the two of them doing inside? You help me call Ling'er out. ”

Chasing the clouds was silent and did not do so.

Zhou Chengwen raised his voice a little unpleasantly: "Ling'er, come out quickly, my cousin bought you a fried sugar cake, it's still hot!" ”

Jiang Ling jumped out of bed, crossed Zhou Chengzhi, ran outside and opened the door: "Cousin-"

Zhou Chengwen was happy and a little dissatisfied: "I heard from the people in the house that you didn't take my third brother to visit the garden, and stayed in Jingyayuan all afternoon." After speaking, he raised the pouch in his hand, "I bought you fried oil cake, and Ah Yu said that you like to eat this the most." ”

Zhou Chengwen actually had a lot of fun outside, but he didn't forget his little cousin at home, and specially bought fried sugar cakes to bring back to her. After returning to the house, I asked my subordinates, only to find out that Jiang Ling had been with Zhou Chengzhi in Jingyayuan all afternoon, and he was suddenly inexplicably a little surprised.

Among the princes in the palace, he can be said to be the most favored by the emperor, and his mother is now a queen, so he is a little arrogant and arrogant. It's just that he, the most unfavored third brother, can't give him a face no matter what, and he has to be humble to him. This makes him angry from time to time.

Now when I see my cousin alone with him, I suddenly have the illusion that I have been robbed of my love and love things, and I feel aggrieved and scratching my lungs, but I don't know what went wrong. After all, Zhou Chengzhi is a distinguished guest in Jiang Mansion, and his cousin Jiang Ling, as the host's young lady, is of a similar age, so it is not inappropriate to accompany and entertain him.

Jiang Ling took the bag, a little overjoyed: "Thank you, cousin, I haven't eaten this for a long time." ”

It's been a long time, and if you pinch your fingers, it's at least more than seven or eight years.

Jiang Ling took out the hot sugar cake and asked for a bite, the sweet and soft taste suddenly filled his mouth, it was really a long-lost delicacy. She squinted and enjoyed it, and then smiled at Zhou Chengwen and said, "Has my cousin eaten it?" ”

Zhou Chengwen saw that she was so happy, so he smiled happily: "My cousin has already eaten." ”

Jiang Ling took another big bite.

At this time, Zhou Chengzhi walked out from behind, and when she saw this, she took out a piece of fried sugar cake and handed it to him: "Brother Chengzhi, it's delicious." ”

Zhou Chengzhi didn't have the delicious food in her hand, and shook her head with a light smile: "I don't like desserts." ”

Jiang Ling pouted with some regret: "But this fried sugar cake is really delicious, it's a pity that you don't eat it." ”

Zhou Chengzhi looked at the young man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Second brother really has a heart, and made a special trip to bring back her favorite desserts to Ling Er." ”

Zhou Chengwen pursed his lips and gave him a perfunctory smile, it was his cold-faced imperial brother who praised him, but it was wrong in his ears. Obviously, he is Jiang Ling's cousin, how can there be some illusions that Ling Er has become Zhou Chengzhiren.

Zhou Chengwen secretly shook his head, and when he saw Jiang Ling's innocent face, he concluded that he had thought about it more.
