Hearing Chu Qingli's reply, Xiao Pan smiled softly and said to Chu Qingli: "Okay, then you go quickly, go early and return early." ”

Chu Qingli walked out of the room and asked Du Qinghe to hurry to the pharmacy, take all the best medicinal materials she bought today, and go back to Anpingbo's Mansion to send them to Chu Qinghan.

When I came to Anping's house, the sun was already in the west, radiating a mild and brilliant warm light, because there was still some hour before dark, so the ladies in the garden today had not yet left.

Chu Qingli passed by them, and he didn't want to stay longer, but he didn't expect them to salute Chu Qingli respectfully. In this way, Chu Qingli had to stop and turn around to say a few words to them.

"How come a few ladies have time to come to Anpingbo's Mansion today?" Chu Qingli looked at the ladies in front of him with a kind smile. Chu Qingli remembered that these ladies were all family members of court officials, but they were all the same as Aunt Hua, and their husbands' supremacy in the court was insignificant, and I don't know if they were so close because they were sympathetic to each other.

One of the ladies stepped forward and replied to Chu Qingli, "Today is Mrs. Chu who invited us to come to enjoy the flowers, and the flowers in this garden are really never tired of seeing, so I forgot the time for a while, and saw that the sun was about to go down." ”

Chu Qingli nodded, and said with a smile: "But these ladies get together, why don't you stay in Anpingbo Mansion for dinner?" Chu Qingli took out the courage of being a family member in Anpingbo's Mansion and invited the ladies in front of him.

With Chu Qingli's existence, there was no Aunt Hua in the eyes of these ladies. Aunt Hua was unwilling to be ignored like this all the time, so she took the initiative to interject and said: "Qingli, what are you talking about, Auntie, I naturally want to leave a few ladies for dinner in the house." ”

Chu Qingli glanced at Aunt Hua lightly with his gaze, but the lady just now didn't say such a thing, and now she opened her mouth, but she was just selling favors afterwards.

Chu Qingli nodded coldly, and turned around to see Chu Qinghan. But Aunt Hua didn't let her leave, "Qingli, since you're back, it's better to enjoy the flowers together." ”

Chu Qingli turned around impatiently, and warned Aunt Hua with his eyes, don't play any tricks. But Aunt Hua didn't seem to see it, and still looked at Chu Qingli expectantly.

"It's too late today, let's do it another day." Chu Qingli stared at Aunt Hua and said to her word by word.

Chu Qingli just took a step, but heard Aunt Hua's words again, "It's okay, enjoying the flowers under the sunset can be described as a special taste." ”

Chu Qingli took a deep breath, but she wanted to see what Aunt Hua was trying to invite her. Chu Qingli turned around and smiled, "Okay, since my aunt has said so, it would be too shameless for Qingli to refuse again." Chu Qingli lifted the corner of her skirt, walked up the stairs, and walked to Aunt Hua's side.

Aunt Hua looked at Chu Qingli with satisfaction, and waited until she walked up, which led Chu Qingli to look at the flowers in this garden. The other ladies were naturally in a lack of interest because they had already admired them, and followed behind the two of them without saying much.

Aunt Hua pointed to the peony in front of her and said to Chu Qingli: "Look, how good this peony is, there was not a single peony in this mansion, so what else is there to see in this garden, I personally selected some good varieties and planted them here." "Aunt Hua seems to be reminiscing about the past.

Aunt Hua's words also made Chu Qingli's memories begin to surface, in the memory of the original owner, her biological mother did not love peony very much, she had a cold temperament, so she didn't like this beautiful flower too much, so after joining Anping Bofu, she never let her subordinates plant peony.

But Aunt Hua is good, as soon as she enters the house, she asks people to replace the gardenias all over the yard with peonies, so the mother of the original owner rarely comes to the garden anymore, and everything is gaudy, what else is there to appreciate.

"Qingli?" Aunt Hua saw that Chu Qing was distracted, and called out to her.

Chu Qingli withdrew from his past thoughts, and looked at Aunt Hua's eyes with more hatred. Is that why she was so invited to enjoy the flowers together?

Chu Qingli paused for a moment, and then laughed, "Yes, it is very good, and it matches my aunt very well." ”

"Really? Do you like peonies? Aunt Hua didn't expect Chu Qingli to answer like this, could it be that she was young, so she didn't remember anything at the time, so she wasn't angry about it?

Chu Qing didn't answer, broke off a branch of peony, and reached out to pin it to Aunt Hua's hair, "It's more appropriate to look at it this way." ”

Aunt Hua looked at Chu Qingli's actions, and felt a little uneasy in her heart, did she really forget, or was she pretending to be thinking about something?

"Auntie, I've also appreciated this flower, I still want to go to see Qinghan, so I won't spend much time with me." Chu Qingli owed Aunt Hua and the ladies behind her, and turned to leave.

When he walked to the steps, Chu Qingli suddenly stopped, turned his back to Aunt Hua, and slowly recited a poem, "The peony demon in front of the court is unqualified, and the pond is pure and affectionate." Only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom. Auntie, I still prefer peonies. Chu Qingli smiled faintly, raised his feet and continued to walk forward.

Chu Qingli didn't look back at Aunt Hua's face, but she knew that Aunt Hua must be staring at her back angrily now, as if she wanted to see her through.

When Chu Qing walked away, he stopped a subordinate and ordered: "There is a honeycomb on a tree in the garden, my aunt asked you to poke it down quickly, don't scare the lady of Beppu." ”

"Yes, Princess...... I wonder if the ladies can end their flower viewing? The servant asked cautiously, if he went to poke the honeycomb at this time, and the ladies were there, wouldn't it disturb them, and he would definitely be scolded at that time.

"I just came over there, I didn't see anyone in the garden, I guess I went to the front hall to prepare dinner, you move quickly." Chu Qingli instructed his subordinates and said.

Although the honeycomb is not far from the garden, if you want to poke it down, you have to go to the other courtyard, so you can't see the situation in the garden at all, so the next person will ask like this.

"Yes, the little ones will do it." The subordinate replied with his head bowed.

"Princess, what are your plans?" After the man walked away, Du Qinghe asked Chu Qingli, "What do you need the slave to do?" ”

"No, we'll just wait and see the show." Chu Qingli smiled mysteriously, and went to Chu Qinghan's room to send him some medicinal herbs.

Chu Qinghan took leave from the generals in the palace and recuperated in the mansion. Seeing Chu Qingli, Chu Qinghan was very surprised, "Sister, it's so late today, why are you back?" ”
