Chapter 375: Weird and cold
"Little brother, you have to do me a favor!" Jiang Hengkun completely ignored Yuanbao's surprise and said to himself.
"Second brother! You're crazy! I made it very clear, the princess sister will not come out during this time, and the palace is also very close, especially the concubine Niangniang, you also know that this matter is stuck in the concubine Niangniang, before I came out, Prince Huanyue also told me to tell you not to be impulsive, you are going to toss when you just come back, are you crazy! Yuan Bao frowned and said in his air.
"How can I not be crazy, just three years this is already a strong enemy, and the situation in the palace is unknown, if, if, if Huan Yan is pointed out to others, then, what should I do, what should Huan Yan do!" Jiang Hengkun became worried.
"Oh, the concubine and the emperor are the most affectionate sisters, and their happiness will definitely be the first condition, you are still worried about yourself." Yuan Bao said helplessly.
"So, I've got to see her first, no matter what." Jiang Hengkun held Yuanbao's shoulder and emphasized.
"Second brother! I know, but it's really not right now, when I left the palace, Prince Huanyue had already explained it again and again, if you really want to stay together, you have to be patient for a while. "Yuanbao's words are already so clear.
But Jiang Hengkun, who was in a hurry, couldn't calm down, pacing all over the room, and Yuan Bao was powerless to stand in place and sigh.
Jiang Hengkun stomped and stamped, suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned around and said: "That's it, for the safety of Princess Huanyan, it's okay for me not to see her for the time being, but you have to bring a letter back for the second brother and me, and you must hand it over to Princess Huanyan, okay?" ”
Princess: "Well, that's fine, then you can write it now!" Yuan Bao will naturally agree, as long as the second brother doesn't make trouble to see Huanyan, then he will try his best to meet any other requirements.
Jiang Hengkun didn't have time to wash, so he immediately came to the small study, and the ingots were grinding ink on the side, and Jiang Hengkun immediately spread out the rice paper and wrote.
Outside the palace, Jiang Hengkun was anxious. Huanyan in the palace is accompanying his mother Xibao to prune flowers and branches in Changxin Palace.
Xibao pointed on the side, Huan Yan took the scissors and trimmed it little by little, it had been repaired for half an hour, and Xibao had no intention of stopping at all.
Huan Yan had no choice but to secretly shake his sour arm. Then continue to prune, finally cut it off, Huan Yan was sweating lightly, this breath was a little panting, pruning flowers and branches is a quiet and elegant job. But this time is long, and it is indeed very exhausting.
Xibao called Huanyan, who was already a little out of breath, and sat on the couch, asked the palace people to hand her a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands and sweat, and then handed over a cup of sour plum and said casually: "Last night, Jiang Hengkun came back safely." ”
"Uh...... Is it? Huan Yan heard her mother mention Jiang Hengkun's name so inadvertently, and she was stunned when she handed the tea cup to her hand.
"Yes, early this morning, Huan Yue arranged for Yuanbao to go out of the palace and return home, thinking that the brothers have not seen each other for three years, they should be very excited to meet this time." Xibao took a sip of sour plum juice and said.
"Probably so. Yuanbao's child is the youngest in the family, I heard my younger brother say that Yuanbao's relationship with his second brother is only the best on weekdays, and he should miss him very much if he hasn't seen him for three years, and this time he finally came back, and he should be allowed to go back and see. Huan Yan followed the words of the mother concubine Xibao.
Although she was smiling and talking, the sour plum juice that she drank in her mouth had lost its taste, and she was already a little worried about what would happen to her mother next.
Xibao looked at Huan Yan's worried look and smiled: "Well, a few days ago, my mother heard your aunt mention it. said that many people went to Jiang Jun's palace to say goodbye, it seems that this Jiang Hengkun is remembered. ”
"Huh?" Huan Yan was a little nervous, but more at a loss.
"Your fifth uncle and second uncle all said that this Jiang Hengkun is of good character, thinking that the princely family in the capital must make up his mind. But this child is Yuanbao's second brother, if he can become a good marriage, his mother will be happy for him, Yan'er, what about you? Xibao asked with an eyebrow.
"Ah...... What the? Huan Yan has lost his mind.
"Hehe, mother, I'm still thinking about it, I haven't gone out for a long time to breathe. If Jiang Hengkun marries a woman, my mother and I want to go to the Yuanbao Mansion with Huan Yue to join in the fun, you haven't gone out for a long time to breathe, do you want to go with your mother when the time comes? Xibao asked softly with a smile.
"Uh...... That one...... Mother, I just cut flowers, this is a thin sweat, sweat is very wet, I want to go back to change into clean clothes first. Huan Yan forcibly endured his feelings.
"Ao, my mother didn't pay attention, let's go, scrub it by the way, rest for a while, and at lunch, my mother will send someone to call you, go." Xibao agreed directly.
Huan Yan thanked him, turned around and covered his chest and hurriedly trotted out.
Xibao behind her shook her head helplessly, and continued to drink sour plum juice, she was very worried about her daughter's appearance.
At this time, outside the palace, Jiang Hengkun had already written the letter and dried it, folded it and carefully put it in the envelope, and then handed it to Yuan Baodao: "Little brother, you must hand over this letter to Princess Huanyan." ”
"Second brother, don't worry, when I return to the palace, I will definitely do it!" Yuan Bao patted his chest and promised.
The two brothers were still talking, and he heard the voice of the princess outside the house, as if he was asking about the situation in the house, the two brothers looked at each other, hurriedly retreated to the outer room, and happened to collide with the princess of the county who pushed the door in.
The two brothers immediately said respectfully: "Say hello to my mother." ”
The princess smiled and said, "Okay, Kun'er, how are you sleeping?" ”
"Back to my mother's words, last night was fine!" Jiang Hengkun said with a smile.
When Yuan Bao heard this, he couldn't help but look sideways, and muttered in his heart: Yiqiē is good, you always go to sleep underground.
The princess of the county looked at Yuanbao's eyes and said, "And you, let you call your second brother, it's good for you to not go out in this house." ”
Yuan Bao scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Hehe, my son hasn't seen his second brother for a long time, he has a lot to say, and he forgot the time when he said it, hehe, mother is not strange." ”
"Okay, hurry up, your father and eldest brother are almost in the house, let's use it for lunch today, and celebrate it when it's dinner, hurry up, go with your mother." The princess said with a smile.
"Hey, I know, mother first, please!" After the words fell, Jiang Hengkun and the Yuanbao brothers accompanied the princess of the county to the main courtyard.
After a while, King Jiang Jun and the eldest prince really came back, and after lunch, the father and son chatted hotly, and when they had dinner in the evening, they were even more happily drunk. Except for Yuanbao, who didn't dare to drink because he had to return to the palace in time, the other three were all drunk, of course, some were happy, and some were depressed.
And so the night passed. In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Bao didn't have time to say goodbye to his family who had not yet sobered up, so he got into a carriage and hurried back to the palace.
When he arrived in the palace, Yuan Bao begged Huan Yue to hand over the letter to Huan Yan, but Huan Yue naturally did not refuse. But it took a few days to have a chance to hand it over.
On this day, Huan Yue sent someone to Huan Yan's dormitory to inquire about the situation, these days it is strange to say, every time Huan Yue arrives, Huan Yan happens to accompany their mother in Changxin Palace, in this case, Huan Yue can't do anything at all.
On this day, Huan Yue heard that her father had arrived at her mother's concubine, thinking that her sister should be free today, so she sent palace people to inquire first, and if Huan Yan didn't go to her mother's palace today.
Huan Yue listened to the return. immediately set off to Huan Yan's dormitory, and as soon as she entered the hall, Huan Yue complained: "Sister! What's the matter, how are you running into the palace of the concubine these days, so that I don't dare to say anything to you! ”
Huan Yan said calmly: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Huan Yue keenly felt that there was something wrong with her sister Huan Yan's feelings.
"I'm fine, what are you looking for me?" Huan Yan sat back in his chair and picked up a book to read.
"Sister, Second Brother Jiang has a letter for you, which was written by Yuan Bao himself on the day he went back, oh!" Huan Yue took it out.
But Huanyan didn't mean to take it. Huan Yue was anxious: "Sister......"
"Leave it there, I haven't finished reading the book yet." Huan Yan seems to be very uncaring.
Huan Yue was completely blinded, what is the situation, this Second Brother Jiang has just come back. But I really didn't provoke my sister, it doesn't matter how this sister's demeanor is.
Thinking of this, Huan Yue simply pulled a chair and sat down and said, "Sister! What's wrong, what's wrong, you look so weird. ”
Huan Yan sighed and said, "I'm really fine." ”
"Sister! I am stupid when you are your younger brother, I know how happy you are to see Second Brother Jiang's letter on weekdays, but today you are so cold. Something must have happened, sister, don't hold back, say it, maybe my brother and I can help. Huan Yue took Huan Yan's hand and said.
"I'm really fine, but I'm not feeling a little happy these days." Huan Yan sighed.
"Is it because of Second Brother Jiang?" Huan Yue guessed.
Huan Yan didn't reply, but the lonely eyes explained a word, Huan Yue said: "Sister, I don't understand this, Second Brother Jiang wrote a letter to you as soon as he came back, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity, no, I only sent it to you today, you won't be suitable because of this talent, right?" ”
"Hey......" Huanyan sighed, then looked at the letter and said, "It has nothing to do with the letter." ”
"Why is that?" Huan Yue was puzzled.
"It's said that there are already a lot of people who have kissed him again, isn't it?" Huan Yan endured it for a long time before asking.
"What!" Huan Yue's reaction was bigger than Huan Yan's.
"Be quiet!" Huanyan said urgently.
"Sister, what are you talking about, this second brother Jiang has been in the south for the past three years, who will say kiss, besides, I haven't heard Yuan Bao mention it." Huan Yue recalled.
"But this is what someone told my aunt in person, and my aunt entered the palace that day and told my mother, saying that the princess of the county is also very active, if there is no such thing, I will not gossip at all with my aunt's character." Huan Yan knew that her aunt was so upright that she would remember it even more.
"But, Yuan Bao didn't say anything about this, then, even if it is, but that's just wishful thinking on the part of the princess of the county, after all, what Second Brother Jiang has for you, you don't know! Maybe Second Brother Jiang is also in the dark, sister, you read the letter first, and you will understand if you can't say it. Huan Yue pushed the letter to Huan Yan.
Huan Yan sighed and said, "It's all like this, I'll see what this letter does." Huan Yan pushed back again.
"Sister, this is not necessarily what Second Brother Jiang meant, isn't it common to say that marriage is a major event, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, the princess of the county should worry about her son's marriage, and the matter between the two of you, maybe they don't know, after all, we have been very low-key in the past three years, sister, don't beat everyone to death with a stick, you can take a look first." Huan Yue must want Huan Yan to read the letter, and he firmly believes that Second Brother Jiang's heart will not change.
"Forget it!" (To be continued.) )
