"Are you ready, little masters?" Dongmei came in and said.

Youzhu put the book on the table and turned his eyes to look at Dongmei: "Is the painter here?" ”

Dongmei nodded: "Just arrived, my aunt instructed the slaves and maids to lead the little masters over." ”

"Youzhu, aren't you really going to insert a hairpin or something?" Qizheng turned his eyes to look at Youzhu and said curiously.

Youzhu thought about it, got up, slowly walked to the cabinet, took out a small box, walked to the table, put the box on the table, opened it, took out a butterfly silver hairpin, walked to the bronze mirror and sat down.

"I'll plug it in for you." Shujin walked to Youzhu's side, took the hairpin in Youzhu's hand, compared it in front of her bun, inserted it into her hair, and said with a smile: "How good is this, I don't even bring a hairpin, I look so cold." ”

Youzhu smiled slightly and stood up.

"Dongmei, Xiying hasn't come back yet, let's wait first." Shujin Road.

Xi Rui sat on the edge of the bed and toyed with her jewelry: "Xi Ying went out early in the morning, and I haven't come back yet." ”

As soon as Xi Rui finished speaking, Xi Ying stood in front of the door, everyone looked at her with a little suspicion, Xi Ying hurriedly lowered her head, stepped into the hall, walked to the bed and sat down.

Shujin looked at Xi Ying and said suspiciously: "Xi Ying, where have you been?" What if you miss the portrait? ”

"I, I went to the Imperial Garden, I didn't care about the time." Xi Ying lowered his eyebrows and said slowly.

Xirui pouted: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Sister, we're leaving." Wen Yue saw that Qizheng was pondering something, and patted Qizheng's hand.

Qizheng hurriedly came back to her senses, got up and gathered her skirt, and followed behind Dongmei with Wen Yue.

"Xiying, you came back in a hurry, are the reward money ready?" Shujin Road.

Xi Ying didn't speak, and nodded slowly.

Shujin looked at Xi Ying and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you, it seems that you have something on your mind." ”

"No, no." Xi said busily.

Qizheng and Wen Yue walked at the end, Wen Yue leaned into Qizheng's ear and whispered: "Sister, do you think that Chen Xiying is a little wrong today, first she scared off the jade pendant at a loss in the imperial garden, and now she is always stunned, she shouldn't have done something wrong." ”

Qizheng shook his head lightly: "Xi Ying is thoughtful, how can we guess, forget it, take care of yourself first." ”

Walking to the open space in front of the main hall of the Chu Hui Palace, Dong Mei owed: "Little masters, please wait here first." ”

Qi Zheng They stood in the courtyard and waited quietly, waiting for the show girls from other halls to come, and after standing, Aunt Nian stood in front and said: "Although it is a portrait today, but this painting is to be presented to the emperor, I hope that the little lord will be cautious, and the people of the first hall will go in, and come out immediately after the painting, and do not delay, go to the Lu Hall first." ”

"Yes." The show girls responded with Qi Fu. ……

After all the show girls were finished, it was almost night, and the sky was already dark, Qi Zheng sat by the window in the hall, listening to the familiar music, and stared blankly at the moon in the sky. ’

"Sister, didn't you say you wanted to listen to me play the piano?" Wen Yue stopped stroking the qin and looked at the Qizheng in front of the window.

Qi Zheng slowly turned his head: "Listen, play well, it will be better if you practice more." ”

"I said that you play this song every day, don't you bother, I am tired of hearing it if you don't play enough, I want to play it in the garden." Shujin sat at the table and glared at Wen Yue, and said sharply.

Wen Yue glanced at Shujin: "If you don't like to listen, you can cover your ears." ”

"You." Shujin stood up abruptly and pointed at Wen Yue: "Xi Ying, you see that she is really getting more and more presumptuous." ”

"I'm not there." Yurui Road.

Shujin put down his hand, looked around, and muttered softly: "It's so late, where did Xi Ying go." He glanced at Wen Yue again: "I'm too lazy to talk to you here." With that, he walked out of the temple.

Shujin was full of curiosity and looked around for Xiying, walked to the imperial garden, and saw a figure in front of him who seemed to be walking in a hurry through the moonlight, very familiar with "Isn't that Xiying, where is she going?" Shujin didn't think much about it, and quickened his pace to follow.

Xi Ying walked to a corner and stopped to look back, Shu Jin hurriedly hid behind a tree next to him, Xi Ying was sure that there was no one around, so he stood there with his head calm.

"Haunting." A man's voice came, Shujin was startled, leaned over, and stood alone in front of Xiying, the sky was dark, and he couldn't see his face clearly, Shujin frowned, "Who is that, I haven't heard that Xiying knows anyone in this palace." ’

"Hengyu, how long will we have to be like this, don't forget, I'm a show girl." Xi Ying lowered his eyebrows.

Heng Yu looked at Xi Ying and said eagerly: "What do you mean by this, didn't you think that we would have to go later?" ”

Xi Ying turned around and turned his back to Hengyu: "Between the two of us, will there be a result, I am afraid to meet you every day, worried about being discovered, I am really tired." ”

"Ying'er, on the day of the election, you first call yourself sick and don't go, first in front of a female official, you believe me, it won't be long before I make it clear to the Queen Mother and ask the Queen Mother to give me marriage." Hengyu hurriedly said, slowly stepped forward, held Xiying's arms, and looked at her: "Ying'er, we have already missed it once, and we can't miss it a second time." ”

Xi Ying shook his head: "You think everything is too complete, it's too complete to believe, okay, it's not too early, I'll go back first, tomorrow at noon, I'll wait for you here, tell you my final decision." ”

"What decisions will you make, tell me." Hengyu clenched her arms.

"You let it go first." Xi Ying shook off and twisted his head to the side: "I don't know, but I'll think about it, think about what I should do, how to do it, so that I don't have to be afraid." ”

Heng Yu looked at the persistent face: "Okay, tomorrow, I'll wait for your answer." With that, he turned and walked away, disappearing into the hazy night.

Xi Ying stood in place, quietly looking at the back that gradually disappeared away, his eyes gradually moistened, slowly turned around, took out the jade pendant, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, "Isn't the answer already in my heart, why wait for tomorrow, this piece of jade should have been placed in his hand just now, or, fell to the ground, why, I would be so reluctant"

Shujin, who was hiding behind a tree and watching everything silently, was already shocked, 'Who is that man, how can he and Xi Ying?' Is it because of the abnormality that has been haunting the past few days?

Xi Ying walked forward slowly, and Shujin hurriedly left, pressing everything in his heart.

Wen Yue practiced the piano in the Lanxia Hall all the time, Qi Zheng was still sitting in front of the window looking at the moon, and slowly got up, and looked out of the door in a blink of an eye, and the night outside was lonely.

Qizheng walked to Wen Yue's side: "Yue'er, you continue to practice the piano, I'll go outside for a walk." ”

Wen Yue nodded, Qi Zheng walked out of the hall, just walked in front of the gate of the Chu Hui Palace, and saw Shu Jin with a frightened face, hurriedly walked over, entered the palace gate, as if thinking about something, did not pay attention to the Qi Zheng in front of him, and walked quickly towards the Lanxia Palace.

Qi Zheng shook his head in confusion, and was just about to step out of the palace gate, but he saw Xi Ying's soul walking to the palace gate, and when he saw Qi Zheng, he was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and walked quickly.

What's wrong with them, one panicked, the other depressed. Qizheng looked back at Xiying's back, and wondered.

Qi Zheng sighed, turned around, continued to walk, walked alone to the imperial garden, stood by the pool, listened to the squeaky insects, closed his eyes slightly, perhaps, in this deep palace, only standing by the water at night, can you feel the rare quiet. I looked around in a blink of an eye, and saw that there was a woman standing by the pool not far away, staring at the front, Qi Zheng turned her head and looked ahead, a gust of wind blew, and her hair danced lightly.

"Oops."

An exclamation came, Qizheng hurriedly came back to his senses, turned his eyes to look, was shocked, and shouted: "Girl, be careful." ”……
