Chapter 699: Goodbye
When the holy decree was announced to the six palaces, there was an uproar, and the harem ladies all had a lot of words about it, thinking that Nian had made such a big mistake, how could he be forgiven because of his brother's merits, and even re-ascended the throne of the concubine.
But the holy decree has been issued, and they just don't want to do it anymore, so they can only complain in private, and at the same time go to greet the resurgent Nian, lest she settle accounts after the autumn and blame them for their previous estrangement and coldness.
Hongsheng was overjoyed when he said that he could return to E-Niang, and for him, there was nothing happier than being with E-Niang.
He didn't care about packing up his things, so he followed the palace people who came to pick him up and left, and when he was about to step out of the palace gate, he suddenly stopped, and after some hesitation, he turned around and walked towards Dongnuan, he knew that at this time, Concubine Xi must be in Dongnuan Pavilion.
"The slave maid greets the third elder brother, congratulations to the third elder brother." Yang Hai smiled at Qian'er.
"Is Xi Niangniang in there?" Hongsheng asked politely, since he came out of the Buddhist hall, he has become much calmer, and he is no longer as rude and harsh to the palace people as before.
"Back to the third elder brother, the master is inside." Yang Hai said as he stepped out of the way and invited Hongsheng in.
Hongsheng nodded slightly, and when he entered the inside, he saw Ling Ruo sitting in the chair embroidering, and Shui Xiu was by the window facing the sky outside with the color of silk threads, and the two of them were talking without a match.
Seeing Hongsheng coming in, Ling Ruo was not surprised, smiled slightly, put down the scaffolding in his hand and said, "Third Elder Brother is here to bid farewell to the palace?" ”
Because of the change in the relationship with Hongli, Hongsheng no longer had the-for-tat confrontation when he first came, and bowed deeply to Ling Ruo, "Yes, Hongsheng thank Xi Niangniang for taking care of her these days." ”
"The third elder brother is polite. This palace is your elder, and your biological mother is inconvenient, so it is also appropriate for this palace to help take care of you. Ling Ruo stroked the embroidery in the wardrobe and said with a smile: "This palace knows how sad you are these days, and now you can finally see the moon and the clouds, and this palace is also happy for you, I just hope you don't blame this palace for being too strict with you these days." ”
"Hongsheng knows that Hongsheng was too reckless and rude before, and Xi Niangniang should punish Hongsheng." If he had changed before, he wouldn't believe that he would say such a thing to Concubine Xi after killing Hongsheng, but the confinement of the Buddhist hall in those days, as well as the contact with Hongli, made him gradually realize that he was wrong before.
Moreover, he has been tossing and turning between Kunning Palace and Chengqian Palace these days, although when Kunning Palace, the queen treats him very well, and there is never a shortage of food, drink and clothing, but it is limited to this, the queen's attitude towards herself has always been polite, sometimes he loses his temper, smashes things and even punches and kicks the palace people, the queen also laughs at it, never punishes him, and condones everywhere.
Is this really good for her? In the past, Hongsheng thought it was, but now Hongsheng, who has learned to calm down and think, thinks no, so he has a better impression of Ling Ruo.
Ling Ruo smiled and said, "Have you seen Hongli?" ”
"Not yet, I haven't seen Hongli since class today, and I don't know where he went." Hongsheng is a little strange and a little lost, after today, he doesn't live in Chengqian Palace, although he can meet in the future, but the relationship between Eniang and Xi Niangniang is not good, and he and Hongli are not easy to get too close.
Speaking of which, his relationship with Hongli is very strange, he used to be like an enemy, and it was not good to meet him, either fighting or quarreling, for which he was also punished by Huang Ama. But during this time in Chengqian Palace, he reacquainted himself with Hongli and found that he was not as annoying as he imagined, and even very good.
At least, when everyone avoided his third elder brother, he didn't; When he was isolated and helpless, it was he who went to Huang Ama to intercede on his behalf; When everyone in the palace was fighting for power, turning his face and not recognizing people, he always insisted on the word brother.
Heavenly family, will there be real brothers? In the past, Hongsheng scoffed at this, but now he is willing to believe it, not for anything else, just for a Hongli.
"Shui Xiu, have you seen the fourth elder brother?" Ling Ruo felt strange in his heart, and turned his face to ask Shui Xiu, who was putting the silk thread back into the small basket.
Shui Xiu shook her head and said, "Speaking of which, the slave maid has never seen the fourth elder brother today. ”
"This kid, knowing that you are leaving today, is still running around, it's really ignorant." Ling Ruo reprimanded lightly and said: "If you are not there, there is no way, you go back quickly, don't let Nian Guifei wait for a long time, if it is convenient in the future, come to the palace to sit here." ”
"Yes, Hongsheng retired." After saying this, Hongsheng withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion, took another look at the towering palace, and strode towards the palace gate.
I went back, I finally wanted to go back, and I returned to Eniang's side, thinking like this, Hongsheng couldn't wait to return to Yikun Palace in one step. The only regret is that I can't say goodbye to Hongli in person, but it's the same when I see him in the study tomorrow.
Just when Hongsheng had already stepped across the palace gate, a figure rushed over, stopped in front of him and gasped for breath, and then raised a big smile, "It's okay, it's okay to be in time!" ”
"Hongli?" Hongsheng was stunned, but what made him even more stunned was that there was still a Hongli standing behind Hongli, who walked up and called the third brother slowly.
"Where have you two been?" Hongsheng looked at the two of them strangely, because Hongli and Hongli have a good relationship, which is not uncommon these days, so it is not surprising that he appeared.
Hongli didn't answer him this question, just handed the things in his hand to Hongsheng, "Third brother, I know that you are going back to Nian Niangniang, I don't know what Lu Dao will give you is appropriate, I think you like fighting crickets, so I made this grub cage with the fifth brother, do you like it?" ”
"The reason why you are not in the palace is that you went to Hongyang to make a cage?" Hongsheng looked at the cage of the grasshopper handed to him in a daze, the cage was very exquisite, it was the style of a hexagonal pavilion, the single eaves were curled, and the copper hook on the top was a lifelike grasshopper.
"Well, the time is too rushed, and one person can't have time, so I pull Hongyang to do it together." Hongli replied with a smile, "I just did a good job, I'm really afraid that the third brother has already left, and I'm sorry to catch up." ”
Hongsheng held the grub cage made by Hongli and their own hands, and was very moved in his heart, but said: "Didn't anyone tell you, I don't like fighting crickets anymore." ”
Hongli was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the youngest Hongli had already said "ah" in frustration: "Don't you like it?" But I worked with my fourth brother on this cage for two whole days, and my fingers were cut several times! ”
Over there, Hongli also came back to his senses, he thought about it for a long time before deciding to send him to make a gnature cage for Hongsheng, but he didn't expect him to like it, and he smiled and said, "Then I'll make up things for the third brother another day." ”
