The eldest princess of Yuyang came to the house as a guest, but left without being seated. Song Yan only thought that the princess was noble, the affairs were complicated, and it was normal for her to leave something, so she didn't feel disappointed, but she was relieved that she didn't have to entertain the princess with dignity and courtesy without having to hold Mrs. Hou's shelf. She went to the weeping flower gate to see off the princess, and returned to the courtyard to plan to go to the flower hall, but saw that Shao Ding had not left yet, standing silently under a pomegranate tree. Song Yan didn't know whether to disturb or not, and was hesitating, Shao Ding turned to look at her.

Songyan saw that he saw him, so he let the maid behind him stand in place, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Shao Ding asked her to get up, and Song Yan was thinking about what to say to persuade him, Shao Ding had already spoken, "Madame is right. ”

Songyan listened and looked at Shao Ding in confusion. Shao Ding had already turned to look at the pomegranate tree and said, "My relationship with the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of Yuyang is indeed different from others. ”

Seeing that he told the old things to himself, Song Yan couldn't help but hold his breath nervously, only to hear Shao Ding continue, "The Empress Dowager did not live in the Cining Palace where the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasties lived, but lived in the East Sixth Palace of Longchi, her old Changle Palace. The women of the harem are keen to use various obscure symbols to express their desire to have children, and several pomegranate trees are planted in the courtyard in front of the back bed of Changle Palace. When Yuyang was young, he always took advantage of the inattention of his aunt and palace maid around him to climb the pomegranate tree. Pick pomegranate flowers in late spring, pick pomegranate fruits in late summer, and even when there is nothing, you always have to climb up and pick some pomegranate leaves. ”

Songyan couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said. Shao Ding's tone was also full of relaxation and said, "The Queen Mother doesn't like her jumping around, she looks undignified, but she has not punished the palace people who followed Yuyang, and when she received the pomegranate flowers sent by Yuyang, she will happily insert them in her sideburns." Over time, the palace people around Yuyang were just making a show of stopping Yuyang from climbing trees. ”

Songyan listened to him stop as if he was stuck in a memory of the past, and couldn't help asking, "What about you?" ”

Shao Ding came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong with me? ”

Song Yan asked a little embarrassed, "I heard you tell you interesting things about the princess when she was young, I don't know what you did at that time?" ”

Shao Ding looked at her with some surprise, Song Yan saw that his eyes were dark and deep, and couldn't help lowering his head, and after a while, he heard Shao Ding say disapprerovingly, "I seemed to be practicing martial arts at that time, every day, there is nothing to say." ”

Although he didn't say the rest, Songyan, who had already heard about the deeds of the generals who had conquered the north, knew all about it. Qiangrong people broke through Fengnuma City that year, when they arrived at the Longchi Imperial City, the situation was critical, the first emperor took the civil and military officials from the west gate to abandon the city and fled, the eldest prince wore battle armor to defend Longchi, it was the Dingyuan Marquis who paid the price of blood to suppress the Qiangrong people, full of heroes, only a young son left. This orphan was adopted under the knees of the Queen Mother, what kind of mood did he have to practice martial arts, and in just ten years, he prepared the army and drove the Qiangrong people back to the north of Dicheng?

Songyan listened to his flat tone, as if he didn't feel that life was difficult, and his heart seemed to have bubbles bubbling out of the water, sour and astringent, but he didn't know what to say to express his feelings to Hou Ye, in order to soothe even a little, the loneliness in Hou Ye's heart. She had never felt so close to Shao Ding's heart as she did today, and she was moved by him opening the door to her, but at the same time, she felt guilty from nowhere because she approached this person and knew that he had come to this day with a heavy responsibility.

She couldn't hold back her emotions and muttered, "...... I'm sorry. ”

Shao Ding was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry for what?" ”

Songyan listened to him ask herself, but she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the feeling of guilt and pity just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, she blushed and said, "I...... I don't know. ”

The two of them glanced at each other a little embarrassed, and a small smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Shao Ding's mouth, and he involuntarily reached out and touched Song Yan's hair.

Song Yan covered his forehead, took three steps back, and looked at Shao Ding with wide eyes.

Shao Ding didn't seem to react to what he had done, and when he saw Songyan retreating, he didn't care about himself, so he quickly explained, "Madame, don't panic, I don't mean to offend, it's just a momentary ......."

Before he finished speaking, Songyan turned around and ran, and the maids who were watching from a distance didn't know what was going on, so they had to follow Songyan and leave. In the blink of an eye, only Shao Ding, who had not finished explaining, was left alone in the courtyard.

Songyan ran around with his head down, and when he stopped, he realized that he had arrived at his original destination, the flower hall.

Yuhua was standing in the patio, unhappily beckoning a few maids and servants to fill in the list of some precious furnishings, and then moved back to the warehouse, seeing Songyan standing out of breath outside the flower hall alone, and hurriedly greeted him with a surprised face, "Why did you come here alone?" It's red from the neck to the tips of the ears! ”

Songyan listened, and hurriedly touched his ears, and saw that it was really hot, and he didn't know if it was because he was in a hurry, and he was jumping around. Fortunately, the Yuhua he encountered has never been a meticulous person, and he no longer asked, and helped Songyan into the flower hall, and the maid and servant who originally followed Songyan also followed at this time.

Songyan sat in the flower hall and breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Hong, who was holding the rain flowers, gradually calmed down.

Seeing that she had regained her former appearance, Yunwu smiled and uncovered this article and said, "It's a pity that the princess is gone, how long have we not been so lively?" ”

Songyan saw that the maids and servants around him were a little lost, so he said, "These things are prepared on the left and right, since the princess has moved back to the house, we will be blessed to enjoy all these good things." After eating, I have to take a good look at whose spiders weave dense and many webs in the box. ”

Yunwu hurriedly asked, "Madam, if anyone has the best cobwebs, is there any reward?" ”

When the maid saw that Songyan was interested, she also coaxed Songyan and asked Songyan to give a reward.

Song Yan has already gained experience in helping Yan Furong with these things on weekdays, so he said with a smile, "If anyone wins the jackpot, I will take a makeup satin from the box and make a skirt for her to wear." ”

There are many and precious colors of makeup and satin, and it is very suitable to make color heads for these maids and servants in the Hou Mansion, who have a big age difference.

When Yunwu heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Shui'er, Yan'er, hurry up and press your nectar sister, so that I can teach me to go and throw away the spider in her box now!" ”

Ganlu also shouted, and hid behind Songyan with a smile, "Ouch, Madame save me, someone here knows that the female celebrity is not as good as me, so he will play tricks!" ”

Songyan couldn't laugh, and before he could speak, Yuhua had already stepped forward to hold the nectar and said to Yunwu, "Don't go yet!" In a moment, that makeup satin can score me three feet! ”

Yunwu stood up and ran away, and said straightly, "You hold it first, and then talk about it when I come back." ”

Ganlu stomped her feet angrily, and said to Yuhua while laughing, "You still expect the little conscienceless person to share you, be careful that she loses a few of us, and she is left with a box for herself!" ”

The people in the flower hall burst into laughter.
