Chapter 7: The Fifth Brother
"Send someone to the Sea Viewing Palace, and say that I will invite the five princes to come to the palace." Gong Hanli commanded to listen to the rain. Hearing the rain obediently responded, he turned around and sent someone forward.
But after a long time, I listened to the report of the little eunuch outside. A figure hurried in. The man stood still in front of the fourth queen's couch and said a little shyly: "Please be the fourth sister of the emperor." ”
Gong Hanli looked up, wasn't it her precious fifth brother! Today he wore a royal blue civilian clothes, which made his already handsome face even more heroic as a young man. The fifth son of the emperor is one year younger than her, this year and twelve, and he looks like he inherits the beauty of his mother, Concubine Rou Shufei, but at this age, it seems that most of them are cute.
"Ling'er, come and sit next to the imperial sister." Gong Hanli showed a loving smile at Gong Yuling, and beckoned to him to come over.
Gong Heling obediently obeyed the instructions of the imperial sister and walked to the front and sat on the couch. Looking up at Gong Hanli, a smile unique to a young man appeared on his face, and his exposed teeth were white and neat, so cute. Gong Hanli reached out and touched his soft hair lovingly. opened his mouth and said, "Ling'er, stretch out your hand and show it to the imperial sister." ”
Hearing this, Yu Ling changed his previous attitude, nervously stretched out his hands behind his back, and shook his head embarrassedly to refuse.
As soon as Han Li saw his actions, he knew that he had guessed correctly, so he smiled and looked at him with a straight face. He Ling was stared at by the imperial sister for a while, and helplessly stretched out his hand. Han Li grabbed his pink little hand, took it to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that there were countless small scars on it. With a distressed look on his face, he reached out and rubbed it gently.
Two cute crimson clouds flew up on Yu Ling's face, and he quickly withdrew his hand. Hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all!" He shook his head seriously as he spoke.
When Gong Hanli saw his move, he felt even more distressed, and said with a little reproach: "If it is at the cost of hurting you, the imperial sister would rather not have this wood carving!" ”
He Ling heard the reproach and annoyance in her tone, and said uneasily: "Ling'er, Ling'er just wants to make the imperial sister happy. Right. I'm sorry Sister Huang. Sister Huang, don't be angry with Ling'er! At the end of the sentence, Yu Ling lowered his little head deeply.
Seeing him like this, Han Li was angry and funny, and said, "Little fool, how could the imperial sister be angry with you!" Sister Huang feels sorry for you! He patted his little head lightly.
After hearing this, Yu Ling raised his head happily and said, "Sister Huang, it's good that you don't get angry!" ”
Han Li laughed when he heard this, and then changed the topic and asked, "Why is the celebrant so lively today?" ”
"Imperial sister, don't you know?" He Ling asked strangely, looked at Han Li's puzzled expression, and then explained: "In four days, it will be August 30!" Sister Huang. ”
"August 30?" Han Li repeated in a low voice, and suddenly exclaimed: "Father Emperor has reopened the draft?!" "Since Hanli's mother, Empress Zhaohui, entered the palace, the emperor abolished the draft system to show his love for Empress Zhaohui. Even after the death of Empress Zhaohui, it has never been reopened, why did it start again this year?
Seeing Han Li's surprised and puzzled look, Hu Ling explained again: "The father is also under pressure from the ministers, Zhaohui's mother has been proposed to reopen the draft since her death, this year, in order to celebrate the birthday of the imperial sister, the father deliberately changed the year name and granted amnesty to the world, and the ministers used this as an excuse to force the father to reopen the draft!" ”
"I see." Han Li nodded, and suddenly said, "Ling'er, you should go back first today, the imperial sister is a little tired." She stroked her forehead and leaned to her side a little weakly.
Seeing this, Ling Ling said obediently: "Ling Er retires, Sister Huang, you have a good rest." With that, he stepped back.
