Volume 1: The Wind and Smoke Rises, Chapter 22

"I'm not hungry." I replied as I ran, not caring if she could hear or not.

I ran to King Li's study in one breath and was stopped by Yuan Hunt, who was standing outside. "Girl, the prince is entertaining. If you have any problems, come back later. ”

I crossed my back, still panting. Since I couldn't get in now, I went around to the bamboo forest behind me to tease the fish in the pond.

I squatted down a little numb, got up and walked into the bamboo forest, closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the bamboo forest.

"The county lord really likes this place of this king."

I opened my eyes and said, "yes, of course!" A place like Jinling is quite suitable for growing bamboo. Look at this bamboo forest is really lush, Lord Wang, the mud bothered! I smiled and said, "Like the prince planting bamboo, because it is better to eat no meat than to live without bamboo." And every time I see bamboo, I salivate at the deliciousness of bamboo shoots. It seems that the woman is just a layman. ”

Chu Yi said: "The county lord is just more unique in mind than others!" ”

"Don't praise me, the prince." I said, "Lord, are you free today?" ”

"If this king doesn't go to the battlefield, he is an idle king, and he will be empty at any time! The county lord said clearly, what is the matter? ”

I took a deep breath and said, "Yesterday, Princess Yi fell into the water not because she was careless, but because I pushed it down. Lord, you have to believe me, I have absolutely no malicious intentions, I really just carelessly! The princess was probably afraid that the prince would blame me, so she took the mistake on herself. ”

Chu Yi said: "The eldest brother and sister-in-law are the best people in this world, don't worry, they won't blame you."

"However, I still hope that I can go to the palace and ask the princess for guilt." I spoke too much faster.

Chu Yi stared at me for a long time, and said, "If the girl wants to go, this king will go in the afternoon, so you can go with this king." ”

I was overjoyed and hurried to thank you. Chu Yi had already put on a posture of wanting to enjoy the tranquility alone. I think it's better for me to leave with fun and not to disturb others.

I took a few steps back and heard Chu Yi say, "The county lord trusts this king." I blurted out, "Of course." "Chu Yi didn't follow up again, but his eyes seemed a little hurt when he looked at me? I think I'm definitely dazzled!

I went back to Fangfei Courtyard, had some breakfast, and waited for Chu Yi to send someone to inform me. I always feel that Chu Yi is halfway through what he says. But the other half, I can't guess.

After waiting for a while, I finally waited for a servant to deliver a message. When I got into the carriage, Chu Yi was already sitting on the carriage.

Before I could sit down, Chu Yi gave the order to drive. I greeted Chu Yi, but he ignored me. I said the weather was good, and even though it was cloudy outside, he ignored me. I've been with my brother's temperament for 10 years, and I still have the strength to see it. Chu Yi was angry, and he was sulking.

I don't know where I provoked him, so I didn't dare to talk more. When I arrived at King Yi's Mansion, Chu Yi didn't reach out to help me down as before, and walked away with a swagger, so I had to jump off the carriage by myself. I wore a pink floor-length dress today, which was too troublesome.

Chu Yi's entry into King Yi's Mansion didn't seem to need to be announced. We followed the guards into King Yi's mansion, and along the way, I kept my head down, trying to only stare at the shoes of the soldiers leading the way in front of me, and never look at them randomly.

When I met Lord Yi, he was fishing in the rockery in the garden. Before we could get closer, he booed. We can only stand still,

We stood ten paces away from the Great Prince, and we couldn't make the slightest sound. I could only look at his back in a daze. King Yi was dressed in a blue robe and a hat on his head, and sat on a fake stone by the lake, not moving at all. I don't know what King Yi looks like. It was dark, I couldn't see his face, and my attention was entirely on Princess Yi. What I saw today, his side face was really similar to Chu Yi. I also heard of him when I was in the Zhou Kingdom, not from the gossip of the restaurant, but from the master's serious listening. King Yi was originally a virtuous king praised by everyone, but he was not a concubine, so he could only give up the throne, and since then he has regarded himself as an "idler".

While I was searching my mind for news of him, the line moved, and the fish took the bait.

He pulled up the rod, but I noticed that there was no container for the fish. Just as he was curious, King Yi threw the fish he had caught into the lake again.

After he tied the bait, he set the fishing rod in place, and finally got up to speak, "Seventh brother is visiting, is there something wrong?" ”

"If you're fine, you can't go to your eldest brother for a drink?" Chu Yi seemed to be in a much better mood.

King Yi laughed heartily, "Naturally, you can!" I'll have a few side dishes ready. Since you're here, let's not get drunk and go home! ”

Chu Yi said: "Sister-in-law can be in the house?"

"Yu Chen is playing with Huaning." When Princess Yi was mentioned, King Yi's tone became unconsciously gentle.

Chu Yi gestured to me with his eyes, "Big brother, do you remember this girl?" She insisted on coming to ask her sister-in-law for her guilt. ”

King Yi looked at me and seemed to recall, "Oh, it's this girl." There is no need to ask for sin, Yu Chen said that you are kind to help. However, since you're here, let's go talk to Yu Chen. ”

King Yi pointed to a servant who led me to Princess Yi's courtyard, and as soon as I approached, I heard bursts of laughter. The servant who led the way said, "This is the princess teasing the little princess." ”

I asked, "Little princess? Is it Huaning that King Yi said just now? How old is she?"

"Back girl, Huaning is the name of the little county lord! The little lord is two years old. ”

Two years old! What a carefree age. I remember what I was doing when I was two years old, but I don't remember anything at all. I was thinking that as soon as I entered the yard, a small thing bumped into me.

I stumbled a bit. I looked down at the little kid who bumped into me, and it was so cute! I thought she was going to cry, so I squatted down and struggled with how to coax the child. Who knew she was actually laughing.

"Huaning, run slower!" There was Princess Yi's concerned voice over there. The kid who bumped into me was really the little county lord. Since the little county lord was fine, I didn't get up, and squatted on the spot to say hello to Princess Yi.

Hua Ning saw her mother coming, turned around and threw herself into her mother's arms. Princess Yi checked if Hua Ning was injured, and then she noticed me who was still in a saluting posture, "It's you!" Why are you here?"
