Chapter 56: Hibiscus Flower (Xin no Ka Gen)
In front of the stone table next to the lake stone, Mu Hongshang quietly drank tea and ate snacks, while Zheng Ying quietly held a cup of tea and looked at the lake, the two did not communicate with each other, and the lotus leaf who was waiting on the side felt a little strange, but her own lady didn't say anything, of course she wouldn't say much.
The atmosphere was quiet and harmonious, and after a long time, it was Zheng Ying who spoke first to break the silence.
Zheng Ying, who seemed to be enjoying the scenery seriously, suddenly turned her head, looked at Mu Hongsheng on the side, and asked, "What do you always peek at me?" ”
Zheng Ying's tone was very gentle, sounding like she was simply asking curiously, but it still made Mu Hongsheng blush. She smiled at Zheng Ying a little embarrassedly, and apologized curtly: "You found out!" I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I bother you, I won't watch it. ”
"You don't have to apologize." Zheng Ying shook her head: "I just asked casually." If you want to see it, just look at it generously, and do it secretly. This tea is yours, and you came to this place first, I took advantage of your favor for a cup of tea, is it possible that you can still be angry because you see me? ”
"I'm really sorry," hearing Zheng Ying say this, Mu Hongsheng was even more embarrassed, and she apologized again with red cheeks: "It's really my rudeness." Don't get me wrong, I just think you're so good-looking, so I can't help but keep watching. ”
Somehow, Zheng Ying suddenly felt that the little girl in front of her blushed cheeks and said that his good-looking appearance was particularly interesting. There were many women who blushed in front of him, but it seemed that there was only this little girl, and she blushed simply because she felt embarrassed by her rudeness.
"Particularly pretty?" Zheng Ying's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she suddenly had the mood to chat: "Because I'm very good-looking, you can't help but watch it all the time?" So, is it my fault? ”
"No, no, no!" Mu Hongshang hurriedly waved her hand again and again, and replied with a serious face: "It's like the hibiscus flowers in summer are particularly beautiful, and I want to watch them all the time, so how can it be the fault of the hibiscus flowers." ”
"Fleur?" Zheng Ying never expected that Mu Hongshang would actually pop out such a sentence, this is ...... Say he's as good-looking as Fleur? But he is a man, how can anyone compare a man to a fleur.
"yes!" Mu Hongshang nodded honestly: "I just think you look as good as a hibiscus flower." ”
Mu Hongshang was so frank and honest, for a while, Zheng Ying didn't know how to deal with it. He's been compared to a man with a gorgeous hibiscus flower...... Belch...... Should I feel honored or offended?! It's a bit embarrassing.
Before Zheng Ying could figure out what to say, Mu Hongsheng, a little girl who loves to talk, added: "I like hibiscus flowers the most, they bloom in summer, and they look so lively!" ”
Ha? Zheng Ying stared at Mu Hongsheng, a little stunned. This means that he is a big man...... Blooming flowers?? Is this really a compliment to him?! Sure enough, it's still a little girl!
Zheng Ying couldn't help but shake her head and laughed: "Flowers...... Oh, do you like Hibiscus? ”
"I like it," Mu Hongsheng nodded seriously: "I like the lively flowers that bloom like that." My brother always laughs at me for being cheesy, but the flowers are only beautiful when they bloom. ”
Kitschy...... Zheng Ying choked again. Although I know that this little girl is honestly saying something, how can it sound so awkward as a person who has just been compared to a hibiscus flower.
"Why is it cheesy to like hibiscus?" Zheng Ying finally decided to satisfy her curiosity, and there were many hibiscus planted in the palace, where is cheesy.
"My brother said, most of the girls in other families like plum blossoms, magnolias, gardenias, orchids and other elegant flowers and plants," Mu Hongsheng's big eyes narrowed and smiled slightly: "Even if you like gorgeous flowers and plants, most of them love rich varieties such as peonies and peonies, I am the most cheesy, and I like hibiscus that can be seen everywhere in summer." ”
I see! Zheng Ying smiled and shook her head, this was just a joke about the brother at home teasing his sister. Looks like this little girl gets along well with her brother!
Thinking of the four emperor sisters in the palace who had never been close to him, Zheng Ying suddenly envied this little girl and her brother. For a moment, he even wanted to open his mouth to ask which child this was, but he didn't open his mouth in the end, just picked up the half-cold tea in his hand and took a sip slightly.
"Brother must be talking nonsense, where is Hibiscus cheesy," Zheng Ying didn't speak, and Mu Hongshang didn't care very much, and continued to smile and said: "Since it's a flower, it naturally has to bloom a lot to be lively and beautiful, you can see it everywhere, and you can see it everywhere." ”
"Oh?" Zheng Ying raised her head and couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you like the Rose and the Moon Season, which are also in full bloom?" ”
"I like it," Mu Hongsheng nodded hurriedly: "Roses and Yueji are also good-looking, as long as they are lively and gorgeous flowers, I like them." It is good to have the momentum of 'thousands of flowers pressing low branches'. ”
Zheng Yingzai looked at Mu Hongshang carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Also, a little girl like you, innocent, carefree, and more compatible with the gorgeous and prosperous flowers, if you say that you like elegant plums and orchids, I don't believe it." ”
"Is that so?" Mu Hongsheng's eyes widened slightly: "How can you see this, in fact, I also like osmanthus a lot." ”
"Do you like osmanthus?" Zheng Ying seemed to be a little surprised, he pondered for a second, and then said with a smile: "Isn't it because osmanthus candy is delicious?" ”
"...... you" Mu Hongsheng was surprised, she looked at Zheng Ying, her round eyes widened, and Zheng Ying's shadow was reflected in the clear pupils: "How do you know?" I like osmanthus because it is delicious. ”
"Naturally, it's easy to guess," Zheng Ying pointed to the dim sum on the table: "Your maid brought you dim, two of the three are osmanthus flavors, I see that you only ate osmanthus cakes, and the other two dim sum are indeed untouched." ”
"Oh," Mu Hongsheng looked down at the snack plate, and suddenly realized: "You are so careful, you can notice this." This osmanthus cake tastes really good, it's even better than what I make at home, do you want to try it? ”
"I've been eating less of these since I was a kid." Zheng Ying shook her head slightly and rejected Mu Hongsheng's warm invitation.
"Don't you eat snacks?" Mu Hongsheng's big eyes blinked, and she seemed to be a little confused: "Don't you like it?" ”
"It's just a habit." Zheng Ying shook her head and replied gently.
Zheng Ying's answer seemed to make Mu Hongsheng even more incomprehensible, she couldn't understand it, since she didn't like to eat dim sum, why would she still be used to not eating dim sum?
