21, a truant duo
One hundred and seventy-six days to China, it was sunny. Today is a little cooler than usual, the breeze is breezy, and it is a good day to go out and play, but I still have to go to Mengxue to attend classes. Xia Xingji.
Now that they have lived in this palace for half a year, everyone in Beiyan has also learned to speak Chinese Chinese, from the various discomforts at the beginning to the current habits, Xia Xing and Xia Han can not see the difference with the prince and princess of Huaguo except for those strange eyes. Every day he went to Mengxue to attend classes, and when he returned to Biquan Palace at night to see Concubine Yun, Emperor Jing would come to Biquan Palace to see Xia Xing and Xia Han, and take the school homework, just like his child.
In the afternoon of this day, Mrs. Jiang decided to let them paint some landscapes, thinking that the flowers in the imperial garden must be very beautiful now, and children of this age always love to play, and it is not good to always detain them in this room. So he proposed: "How about we go to the Imperial Garden today to paint a hundred flowers?" β
Ming Qin slapped the table excitedly: "Great, you are so good, girl!" Xia Xing flashed with Youlan's big eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, good." Shu Hui also said: "The girl's proposal is very good, it's not very hot today, it's very suitable for going out to paint." Xia Han nodded: "Okay." Lady Jiang: "Since you all think it's good, then I'll let the palace people bring things to prepare, and you can also pack up what you want to bring, and we'll go right away." β
When I arrived at the Imperial Garden, there was already a group of people enjoying the flowers, needless to say which concubines must be, in fact, the life of the palace was very boring, appreciating the flowers, playing chess, chatting about clothes and jewelry, such a cookie-cutter life They have to live a lifetime, and the concubines who can persist in doing nothing to get to a high position must be tenacious, usually manifested as a premature decline.
Although the maintenance is not visible at all, the whole person will have a feeling of twilight years, these concubines do not have this feeling at present, they must not be high enough, and they have just entered the palace for a few years. The clothes are also pink and tender, and they look more delicate than flowers. Someone over there had already seen us, so Lady Jiang had to step forward to salute: "Greetings to all the nobles." The one who started took two steps forward and said, "No courtesy, what is the reason why Lady Jiang is here?" β
Lady Jiang replied: "The weather is mild and cool today, and I will take all the princes and princesses here to paint." Hearing that the concubines here looked at the few children behind Lady Jiang, Ming Qin was wearing a royal blue summer shirt today, with a brocade belt around his waist and an amber unicorn cloud pattern jade pendant, staring at this side uprightly, several people were shocked in their hearts and immediately stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the fifth prince, the second princess, the prince of Beiyan, and Her Royal Highness the Holy Spirit Gu'an Princess." β
Ming Qin waved his hand very casually: "Excuse me, who are you?" What are you doing here? It's still the same Rourou as before: "The concubine is a concubine, and here are Wan Chongyi, Xiao Guiren, Pian Guiren, Chu Mei and He Meiren, and the concubines are here to see the newly opened water lilies in the Imperial Garden." "If these people have just entered the palace, if they are not in a low position, no one has ever seen the prince and princess, and the maids around them are also staying in one acre and three points, but they are well-informed, and they can guess by looking at the dress and age of a few children.
After hearing this, Ming Qin said, "You can continue to walk around the garden, and you don't need to be confined here." Concubine Wan, Wan Chongyi, Xiao Guiren, Pity Guiren, Chu Meiren, and He Meiren said in unison: "Yes, we will retire." A gust of wind blew and took away the fat powder in the nose, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in, and after taking everyone for a while, Lady Jiang stopped at a spacious open space and let everyone choose the flowers they wanted to paint.
The place chosen by Mrs. Jiang is excellent, the terrain is slightly higher, and there are five paths leading to various places around it, and there are different precious flowers around this center, no matter what the princes and princesses choose to paint, she can see it. After the girl's words fell, the four children began to look for what they wanted to paint, Xia Han chose the nearest peony, and walked directly to the edge of the open space with Xiao Dezi and Wu Bangsha and began to lay paper and paint.
Shu Hui also raised her chin proudly and went to paint peonies. Xia Xing and Ming Qin were left looking at each other, and then they saw that Shuhui also commanded the maid to put things not far from Xia Han, and no one was visible on their faces, and then turned around and turned their little eyes to find the flowers to be painted. Lady Jiang looked at a few children, and then took out her tools and prepared to draw a picture.
After a cup of tea, Xia Xing half-squatted and held the flower branch and slowly retreated, on the other side Ming Qin made the same action in the opposite direction, these two people looked at the surrounding wind and grass while retreating, their expressions were serious and professional, they just didn't pay attention to their backs, and then the two of them bumped into each other back to back at the same time with an 'ah' sound, and immediately ran back, running, running, 'Hey? The voice was slightly familiar, and he looked back curiously.
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and at the same time: "You skipped class!" "I didn't." "I'll tell the lady!" Suddenly, the two of them quieted down with wide eyes, and Ming Qin squirmed and said, "That, you, me, thatγγγγγ Xia Xing interrupted her: "You go to sue, I don't care, I'm here to choose flowers." β
Ming Qin had a flash of inspiration and said: "What a coincidence, I also came to choose flowers, I don't think the near ones are good-looking, I want to see more before deciding which one to draw." Xia Xing: "Who believes it, it's sneaky, and you don't bring Xiao Chengzi, and you don't bring painting tools, are you going to take a fancy to that flower and then conjure up a painting?" β
Ming Qin: "Still talking about me, aren't you too, what about Lu Wan and Bing Ning?" Then the two of them thought at the same time in a daze, of course, let them stay there, otherwise the target would be too big, and they could also cover up.
In the same place, Xia Han was carefully observing the peony stamens, and Shu Hui was also straightening on the side, raising her small chin to choose carefully, but peeking at Xia Han from time to time. Aiming, aiming at finding that Xia Han no longer looked at the flowers, but was looking at the other side of the peony flower garden in a daze, and moved along Xia Han's line of sight, only to see a person standing on the path bent over slightly, as if picking flower petals, a cherry pink palace skirt almost blended into the flowers, and the embellished bags and Yingluo made crisp sounds from time to time.
Shuhui also lowered her head for two seconds, then raised her head again and said to Xia Han, "Prince Xia Han, what are you looking at?" Hearing this, Xia Han turned around and said, "That person over there seems to be one who went to enjoy the water lilies before, why did he come back to pick petals again?" Looking at Xia Han's Youlan's eyes full of doubts, Shuhui also pinched the corner of her skirt and said, "Maybe I don't want to see it, don't worry about her, have you thought about which one to draw?" β
Xia Han nodded and said, "It's the biggest and brightest one." Shuhui also said happily: "Really? I also drew that, oh, we chose the same one. That, um, do you think the pink palace skirt looks good? As she spoke, she raised her chin and looked at the concubine who picked flowers, Xia Han wondered about her question, could it be that she wanted to wear it and was afraid that it would not look good? Youlan's eyes blinked uncertainly and said, "It should be good-looking." β
Shuhui has also been staring at Xia Han tightly, hearing this answer faintly 'oh', hanging hands pulled his skirt, looking at his tender yellow palace skirt, thinking that the mother concubine once said that there is only one horse in the palace brocade and satin palace of this color, and the father didn't even give the concubine directly to Hui'er, only my princess is worthy of wearing such a noble color, and now I feel that it is better to wear an ordinary pink palace skirt.
A little breeze blew, a little petals fell, and Shu Hui also looked up in annoyance and wanted to say something, seeing that Xia Han was already concentrating on painting, Shu Hui had to turn around and silently adjust the color. On the right side of the center of the clearing, Lady Jiang was painting quietly, and after finishing painting a cluster of branches and leaves, she put down her pen, looked up at Xia Han and Shu Hui, well, concentrating on painting. Then he stood up, moved, his eyes swept around, and when he found the target, he frowned suspiciously, how could he run so far? Forget it, maybe I like the flowers there.
Lady Jiang sat down and continued to paint, in the two places as far as her eyes could see but the position was not close, the back of Xiao Chengzi by the azalea garden moved around, for a while she waved the fan vigorously, and for a while she was not lively with tea and water, but the action was slightly exaggerated. Xiao Chengzi wiped his sweat and muttered, "Master, you can come back quickly, it will be miserable if you are found to be a slave", although he is superior to the five princes, but this also has an unfinished heart. There is no one in front of me, I am stunned to make it look like someone, am I easy, can I change someone?
In another peony garden, the situation was diametrically opposite, and on the table in front of Bingning that was supposed to be painting was placed melon seeds, two large apples, a bag of pastries, a pot of good tea, and a large piece of roasted meat. Bingning: "Come on, sit down, Lady Jiang should be busy with herself at this time, let's take a break, eat something, and talk about life." Lu Wan: "Bingning, I really didn't expect you to bring so much food, as well as barbecue." β
Bingning: "That is, usually His Highness has to bring something to eat wherever he goes, so I have developed this habit, but today's meat is rewarded by His Highness at noon, and I haven't eaten it yet, and His Highness should not eat this cake and melon, just leave it to us." This season of beautiful scenery, cicadas and birds chirping is the time to enjoy the scenery and have a picnic outside. Lu Wan: "Your Highness is so good, I appreciate so many delicious things every time." β
Bingning: "Lu Wan, your tea-making skills are really getting better and better, come and eat more meat to see how thin you are." The two of them talked and laughed happily, while in the back box on one side, drawing paper, pen, and ink stayed quietly.
On the other side of the Imperial Garden, Ming Qin discussed with Xia Xing: "In this way, let's treat it as if no one saw anyone, and we are all painting there, okay?" β
On the other side of the Imperial Garden, Ming Qin discussed with Xia Xing: "In this way, let's treat it as if no one saw anyone, and we are all painting there, okay?" Xia Xing blinked and said: "But I obviously saw you, it's not right to lie, the gentleman sincerely believes that this is what you said, and besides, I have covered you once, and there can be no second time." When Ming Qin heard this, he was shocked to look left and right, saying that he had been threatened by Xia Xing several times because of this.
If it weren't for the fact that those two crickets were really rare, and it cost him a lot of money, he would have wanted to break the jar and break it, and when he was found out and asked her to keep it secret, he spent a lot of courage, after all, the stinky girl who was despised by himself had the handle of her own plaything, and he often despised what she brought to class, and it was really embarrassing to advertise herself as perfect. However, when she asked him to change her title first and call her Princess Gu'an, she still felt that she was very easy to talk to, did not deliberately make things difficult, and was not bad.
As a result, it's all tears when you talk too much!
