When Moon Shadow entered the house with the small box, Qingxi was writing something in the study.

"Girl, the young master sent something. It was said that the old lady Su Jiang sent you a wedding gift, and there was a letter here. Moon Shadow said as she carefully placed the small wooden box on her desk.

Qingxi immediately put down the pen in his hand and looked at the small box. "This is still the wooden box that my grandfather personally made with me and my brother when I was in Sujiang when I was a child. My grandfather took this as a congratulatory gift. She smiled and got up and took the box, and looked up and down, left and right carefully: "There is not much damage, which shows that my grandfather has taken care of it all these years." ”

As she spoke, she gently opened the box, and there were three things in the small space: an embroidered handkerchief, a baby belly pocket, and an air-dried Xinyi flower.

She picked up the embroidery handkerchief and stroked it gently, she knew that the stitches and threads were the deep affection of her grandmother, her eyes moved to focus on the pink belly pocket, and the corners of her mouth smiled.

Moon Shadow leaned in and teased at the belly pocket, "The old lady shouldn't want to hold his grandson so soon, right?"

Qingxi glanced at her, "That's what I wore when I was a kid." My grandmother said that she would keep it, and she once joked that when I got married, it would be considered a dowry, but I never thought it would be sent. ”

And the Xinyi flower next to it should be their deepest wish to themselves!

"I know the story of this Xinyi flower, and I heard the girl tell it." Moon Shadow pointed to the dried flower and grabbed the white way.

Qingxi smiled and nodded, her eyes once again stopped and stared at these objects that seemed inconspicuous to others, but were extremely precious to her, her heart was full of emotion and longing, and her eyes were flushed unconsciously red.

Seeing her like this, Moon Shadow hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and handed over two letters with a smile: "There is also a letter from the young master to you, take a look." ”

"Letter?" Qingxi was puzzled: "Is Dali Temple very leisurely?" What letter did he write to me? She took the bulging envelope as she spoke: "And so many ...... written"

She unfolded the letter, and what came into her eyes was: My sister: read the following words carefully.

She sighed and scolded in her heart: Then you still write to me. With such a feeling of complaining about her brother, she began to read the letter word by word.

Moon Shadow looked at her frowning lightly, her expression gradually becoming serious, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" The young master is competing with you again? ”

Qingxi shook her head and didn't say anything. Turning the page and continuing to read, the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly, revealing a warm smile. Then the remaining thick sheet of paper is unfolded and flattened, revealing a painting in front of you.

Moon Shadow took two steps forward, her eyes shining, "This is?" ”

On the painting, the mountains in the distance are undulating, the streets of the city are filled with fireworks, the white clouds are leisurely upward, and the sun shines on the grass and leaves.

"This is North Millet. My brother said that my eldest brother wrote a letter to him, and the letter contained this painting, saying that he painted it himself, and gave me a gift. ”

"Major General Zeng really has a heart. Beisu is also very beautiful! "Moon Shadow was also completely attracted by the scenery on the painting.

"Yes! The desolation and arrogance of beauty. Qingxi praised.

She looked at the painting carefully, forgot to forget the small wooden box at hand, and then looked at her brother's letter, and her tears condensed again. I am so lucky and happy to be surrounded by so many friendships and warmth in this world. She held the embroidered handkerchief given by her grandmother, reluctant to wipe her tears with it, and touched it preciously.

is so happy that you shouldn't be too demanding of people and things. Pushing herself and others, she also needs more fulfillment and tolerance. Then, there is another thing mentioned in her brother's letter, and she doesn't need to be obsessed. I had the time to care about so many things, but I might as well think about how to go back to Sujiang to visit my grandfather and grandmother. She thought so.

Outside the study, Xiao Yizheng stood quietly. When he walked in, he happened to see her unfold the painting, listening to the origin of the painting, and seeing her cherishing the embroidered handkerchief and crying, the picture of her sending Zeng Qidao away outside Shangdu City immediately appeared in front of him. Is the embroidered handkerchief in her hand at this moment the one that Zeng Qidao gave to her that day? Are the tears at this moment because of longing or regret? He bowed his head slightly, feeling a little depressed, not a taste.

At this time, another female official found out that the prince was coming, and was about to salute, but he stopped him with his eyes. He beckoned and asked him to follow him out of Chaolan Garden. "Don't tell the princess I've been here." He whispered a command, turned and walked away.

After returning to Zhengzheng Garden, Xiao Yizheng went back to the study alone. I heard that the dream came to report that there was news from the prince's mansion just now, and the princess was overjoyed and asked the palace if she needed to prepare a gift to congratulate her.

Hearing the news, he was happy for the third brother. "I just met the third brother today, but I didn't hear about it."

"The Imperial Doctor has also just left the Prince's Mansion."

Xiao Yizheng looked at the dream: "Then you know?" You're better informed than I am. ”

Hearing the dream, he hurriedly knelt down: "Listen to the dream." It's just that today, the female official in the palace went out to run errands, and met the chamberlain who spread the word in the palace, so she came back and told me. Although this good news should be known to everyone in the palace at this moment, the prince said so, and he knew that he was wrong when he heard the dream. ”

Xiao Yizheng stepped forward to help her up, slowed down his voice and said, "Listen to dreams." I don't blame you. I don't know as much about the rules of etiquette in the palace as I do. Although I don't want to get involved in complicated things, I can't avoid it in Shangdu. As you said, the crown princess Youxi has just been confirmed. Before it came out of the palace, my Hengwang Mansion knew about it so quickly. Do you think it's appropriate? ”

"Hearing dreams is wrong!"

"No, listen to the dream, you may not know what's wrong."

Tingmeng raised his head and looked at Xiao Yizheng suspiciously.

"The mistake is: there are some things that you don't pay attention to in the first place." Xiao Yizheng said seriously: "No matter why, don't pay attention to it and live your own life." ”

Listening to the dream, I was stunned.

"Tomorrow the palace will spread this news, how to do it, you go and ask the princess."

Listening to the dream, he said respectfully: "Yes." With that, she stepped back.

Xiao Yizheng watched Tingmeng quit, raised his hand and twisted his eyebrows, feeling a little tired. After sitting for a while, he got up and took a box from the square of the bookshelf, and took out an embroidered handkerchief from it. This embroidered handkerchief is the one he asked for like Qingxi on Baoding Mountain that day. The Xinyi flower pattern in the corner of the embroidered handkerchief has been damaged and delineated. He looked at it for a while, and felt that it was time to return the embroidered handkerchief to her tonight.

Just as he was thinking this, the sound of Moon Shadow asking to see him came from outside the study.

He laid the handkerchief and called her in.

"Your Highness, when the princess heard that you had returned home, she sent me to apologize. She said that Ben and the prince had an appointment tonight, but today she was a little tired, so she couldn't accompany the prince to enjoy the night view, and I hope the prince will forgive me. Moon Shadow said it word by word.

Xiao Yizheng's mind sank, looked at the moon shadow, and asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”

"I'm just tired and want to rest early."

He nodded, and then asked, "So what did she want to talk about with me?" ”

"Moon Shadow doesn't know." She is telling the truth, she really doesn't know that her girl hasn't revealed a word!

"Okay, this king knows." Xiao Yizheng's heart was indescribably irritable.

Moon Shadow just wanted to quit, but heard Xiao Yizheng say, "Wait a minute." ”

As he spoke, he took out an embroidered handkerchief from the box at hand: "Take it back, and say that the thing will return to its original owner." ”

Moon Shadow stepped forward to take it, her mind full of questions. Is it her girl's handkerchief day? Why is it another party? Embroidered with Xinyi flower patterns, Qingxi had only one before, her baby is amazing, why is it here in the prince? A token of love? No, no, how can there be a reason to return the love token?

Xiao Yizheng looked at her staring at Xiupa's stunned expression, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Moon Shadow hurriedly shook her head a few times, turned around and left.

Xiao Yizheng looked at the empty box and felt that his head was a little swollen. Okay, he can also understand that the person who cried when he looked at such a painting was still in the mood to climb the Spring Pavilion with him.

It's just, what exactly does she want to talk to herself?

I don't know why, the two of them didn't sleep well that night.

In the Ling Mansion, Ling Deyan and Ling Qingsong also talked for a long time in the study.

Ling Qingsong is currently the Dali Temple Cheng of Zhengliupin, and he is not qualified to participate in the high-level court meetings of the imperial court. But today the news of the court has also been spread.

"Dad, you didn't speak in the court today?" He asked.

Ling Deyan shook his head.

"Do you have no opinion of your own or is it because you're on the fence?"

"Neither." Ling Deyan shook his head: "I don't have a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the matter, how can I give advice?" The Emperor did not ask for my opinion. He paused and continued: "Now that I am in charge of the household department, it can be said that I am the money bag of the national dynasty, how many pairs of eyes are staring and looking. Speaking and doing things is not responsible for oneself alone, but involves the whole body, and it is not easy to speak about things that you cannot fully judge. ”

"Dad, you've become cautious." Ling Qingsong pursed his lips.

"You are the same, since you have entered the officialdom, those chic and active thoughts and behaviors should also be restrained."

Ling Qingsong smiled: "I know that you are acting like this, and it is because of Heng'er and His Royal Highness King Heng. For example, if I think today, you will be promoted, and I will enter Dali Temple, how much because of the attention of the Ling family and the royal marriage. And in turn, we have become the help of Hengwang. In short, we're in the same boat through thick and thin. Therefore, you don't want to make trouble for the Hengwang Mansion because of your relationship. ”

Ling Deyan nodded.

"But Dad, don't you see? Your Majesty will have to do something to Prince Guang sooner or later! ”

Ling Deyan stared at him, meaning to continue.

Ling Qingsong shut up, with a look of no comment.

Ling Deyan raised his hand and patted him hard: "I'm still playing this game with your father." ”

Ling Qingsong didn't dodge or dodge, and said with a smile: "Think about the people you arrested in the southwest, and then think about what His Highness told you before, and now His Highness asked me to pay attention to things in Dali Temple." He stopped at the right time, waiting for Ling Deyan's reaction.

"Are you saying that this matter will be the deadliest death hole for Prince Guang?"

Ling Qingsong nodded and became serious: "Although His Royal Highness didn't elaborate, he just asked me to pay attention to the people who are still in the prison of Dali Temple, but I think eight or nine are not far from ten, but I don't know when Prince Guang will make a move?" ”

"Your Highness was originally a carefree person, but now it seems that he can't completely stay out of it. I don't know if it's right or wrong to marry Heng'er into the palace. ”

Qing Song was silent for a while and said: "Heng'er is a choice made by herself, and she should have the ability and courage to be responsible for her choice." That's why he wrote her that letter today.
