Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Break in the Palace
Coming out of the south study, Huang Xu originally planned to go back to the forbidden army barracks directly, but looking back, there are still many details to be perfected in the undercover Jihua, and there may be all kinds of things in the barracks, which is not very convenient. Therefore, he decided to stay in the palace, on the other hand, he could also go to see Hong Zhengyan and tell her that he might not be able to come to see her for a long time later, which can be regarded as saying goodbye.
Huang Xu was thinking about the problem while walking, a gust of wind blew, Huang Xu couldn't help but shiver, then he remembered that this season, it was already late autumn, at this time of the year, in his hometown, everyone was busy sending away the harvest season, preparing for the arrival of winter, and whenever this time, his parents would make their favorite pasta, and often had a happy and satisfied smile on his face.
"Brother Huang, is it Brother Huang in front?"
What a familiar voice, so, quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned around with a smile on his face.
"Brother Huang, it's really you, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you forgot about me?" The person who came was Hong Zhengyan.
"How can it, it's impossible to forget Yan'er if you forget it, isn't the eldest brother about to look for you?" Huang Xu took a deep breath, put away the sadness, changed his mood, and then said with a smile.
"Big brother, Yan'er is looking forward to you coming every day, but I didn't expect you to really come today, Yan'er is very happy." From the bright smile on Hong Zhengyan's face, it can be seen that she is sincerely happy
"I also remember Yan'er, how is it, how are you doing?" I don't know weishenme, seeing Hong Zhengyan and looking at her smiling, all my troubles can be left behind.
"Okay, Yan'er haode is very, she eats well, she sleeps, it seems that she has grown meat again, big brother, you see, Yan'er is growing meat again." Hong Zhengyan stretched out his jade arm like snow and said.
"Well, yes, eat and sleep, sleep and eat, there should be an animal in this world that specializes in this kind of business, Yan'er, you are a bit like." Huang Xu said to Hong Zhengyan with a smile.
"Really? What's that, have I ever seen it?" Hong Zhengyan was a little puzzled.
"This thing, you shouldn't have it in your palace, even in the entire Heavenly King Palace, but it's very common in most people's homes." Huang Xu obviously intended to tease Hong Zhengyan.
"Ordinary farmer, eat, sleep, that should be good, Brother Huang, you actually said that Yan'er is that kind of ugly thing, I'm in a hurry with you." Hong Zhengyan suddenly remembered what Huang Xu was referring to, her pretty face turned red, and she raised her pink fist and threw it at Huang Xu.
And Huang Xu had already hid far away, haha couldn't stop laughing. Of course, Hong Zhengyan was unrelenting, and it was not over until Huang Xu apologized to Daoqian. Then, the two frolicked for a while, and then, Huang Xu opened his mouth and said to Hong Zhengyan: "Yan'er, accompany the eldest brother to the pavilion near your dormitory, which is the place where I met your sister last time."
"Why, I miss my sister, I want to go to my old place and revisit my old dreams." Hong Zhengyan also said deliberately.
"Yan'er, what do you say, I didn't mean that." Huang Xu immediately clarified.
"I think that's what you mean, otherwise, you won't go anywhere, weishenme wants to go there." Hong Zhengyan is relentless.
"Yan'er, you, don't you understand the heart of the eldest brother? How can Big Brother have the heart to think about this now?" Huang Xu explained.
"Oh, I just don't have the heart to think about this now, which means that you usually think about this a lot." It seems that Hong Zhengyan is deliberately finding fault.
"I, I didn't mean that, I mean, alas, forget it, sister Yan'er, you just let your eldest brother go, eldest brother has enough to do." The more Huang Xu explained, the more he couldn't explain it, and Zuihou could only beg for mercy.
"Big brother, see if you dare to tease people in the future" It turns out that this little girl is taking revenge.
"Yan'er, it's the big brother in front of me who is wrong, it's the big brother who is wrong, the big brother is here to sincerely apologize to you, please don't care about the villain." Huang Xu looked sincere.
"Since the eldest brother has apologized to Yan'er, then forget it this time, forgive you." Hong Zhengyan said playfully.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess." Huang Xu gave Hong Zhengyan a salute according to the standard etiquette of the court.
"Big brother, you're here again, ignore you." Hong Zhengyan really couldn't stand Huang Xu, turned his head and walked in the direction of the pavilion first.
Huang Xu smiled and followed, and met the palace maid and the guards on the way, everyone stopped to salute Yan'er and let her pass first. Huang Xu is glad that he didn't grow up in this palace, otherwise, he would be annoyed to death.
After a while, the two walked to the vicinity of the pavilion, to be honest, although Huang Xu came twice, but because of the accident on both occasions, the first time was to meet Hong Ruoyan, and the second time was to meet Hong Xiuquan, so he really didn't observe the situation around the pavilion well. Now, he finally has the opportunity to do this, from the observation of his position, everything is in full view, first of all, Huang Xu and Hong Zhengyan are where they are now, they are stopped in a corridor in the Heavenly King Palace, to say that this outline, it is connected to the entire Heavenly King Palace, that is to say, if you want to go from any place in the Heavenly King Palace to another, you have to cross this corridor, and they are just at the end of this corridor connecting the south study to this pavilion, from here to the center of the pavilion need to pass through a cobblestone path, On both sides of the path, there are some exotic flowers and plants that are rare to see outside the palace, and this season, they can still feel the spring mood here. The two of them walked along this trail all the way, about 500 meters, you can reach the pavilion they said, and look carefully at this pavilion, there is nothing special, it's just that it is connected to the path they just walked, and the other three sides are surrounded by water, weishenme will be surrounded by water on three sides, it turns out that this pavilion is built next to a pond, standing in the pavilion and looking into the pond, you can see all kinds of fish swimming in the water, but these fish are also rare outside the palace. And the reason why Huang Xu chose to come here was not that he thought there was anything special here, but that he thought that this place was more familiar with this place than other places in the palace, because after all, he had been here twice, so he also proposed to come here.
The two walked to the center of the pavilion, sat down on a stool in the center of the pavilion, and then, without speaking for a while, enjoyed the spring to the fullest, and felt the autumn from the bottom of their hearts.
"Big brother, you entered the palace this time, not just to see Yan'er, right?" Hong Zhengyan broke the silence first.
"Yes and no." HUANG Xudao.
"Big brother, can you make it clear, Yan'er is confused." Hong Zhengyan said.
"Yes, it's because I did come to see Yan'er, and came to say goodbye to Yan'er, and I said no, it's because I need to rest for a few days in the place where I used to live, think about some of my own affairs, and fulfill my obligations as a political officer, so I said this." Huang Xu further explained.
"Farewell, where is Big Brother going?" Yan'er was a little nervous.
"No, Yan'er, I mean, the commander of the forbidden army asked me to go on a long trip to do some errands, and it may take a long time to come back, and during this time, I can't come to see you." Huang Xu couldn't tell her that he was going undercover in Dongwangfu.
"I see, how long are you going?" Hong Zhengyan heard that it would take a long time, and she was also a little melancholy.
"I don't know."
"Is it dangerous?"
"Not dangerous."
"Then I'll see you off when you leave."
"No, I don't have a letter of approval, maybe I left after receiving an order, so don't send it." Can Huang Xu let her deliver it?
"Then you must take care and try to come back as soon as possible." Hong Zhengyan was a little reluctant.
"Don't worry, as soon as I come back, I will be the first to see you first." Huang Xu said.
"Then big brother, you have to talk about it." Hong Zhengyan said.
The two talked again, chatted for a while, and saw that it was getting late, and there was a slight chill, so they got up and went back to the palace. Back in the palace, Xiao Qian had ordered someone to prepare dinner, and was waiting for the two, Huang Xu hadn't seen Xiao Qian for a long time, how could they meet each other, and there was a hot chat, until Hong Zhengyan was hungry, they remembered that they still had to eat, so the meal was finished in a warm atmosphere. After eating, Hong Zhengyan ordered someone to make a pot of tea, and started chatting with Huang Xu again, in addition, they were still drinking tea, casually playing a game of chess, discussing poetry and songs for a while, until it was very late at night, Huang Xu got up to say goodbye.
In the next few days, in addition to perfecting the details of the undercover Jihua, Huang Xu was almost with Hong Zhengyan the rest of the time, and Huang Xu's purpose was only one, that is, to make Hong Zhengyan happy as much as possible. In fact, Huang Xu had no idea about going undercover this time, and he didn't know what the odds were. Therefore, he tried his best to use the spare time of these few days to accompany Hong Zhengyan, maybe he really won't have a chance in the future.
