Mu Tieyi left, leaving Mu Hongsheng alone to guard the tea and fruit snacks on the small stone table. No matter how obedient and well-behaved Hongshang is, she is only twelve years old, which is the age of being lively and active, her brother is gone, no one accompanies her, and she can't sit still after being honest for a while.

It's just that Mu Hongshang is a sensible child in the end, even if she wants to run around, she still remembers her brother's words, just waiting for her brother here, and she can't go anywhere.

She stood up and sat down at the stone table, and then stretched out her head to look at the sparkling lake, very dishonest, Lotus Ye saw her young lady like this, she knew that she couldn't sit still, so she said with a smile: "The eldest lady promised the second young master, just wait here, don't go around." ”

"I know." Hongshang turned her head and smiled at Lotus Ye and nodded: "Sister Lotus Ye, I don't walk around." ”

Sixteen-year-old Lotus Ye really wants to get used to Mu Hongsheng, she knows that although her young lady is young, she is very sensible and will not do anything worrying easily. Therefore, after thinking about it, she said: "If the young lady can't sit still, just go around this lake and stone, and can't go far, the second young master can't see you when he comes back, so you have to worry." ”

Although Lotus Ye said this, Mu Hongshang shook her head, she pointed to the gravel road by the lake and said, "No! I don't walk around, I just go to the gravel road in front of me to take a look, here the lake is blocked by rocks, and I can't see anything. On the other side of the corridor along the lake, I see that there are still many people in the garden, and if there are fewer people, when my brother comes back, we will go to the other end of the corridor. ”

It's just a gravel road to the lakeside! Lotus Ye nodded immediately and responded, "Okay, it's just Miss ......"

As a result, before Lotus Ye finished speaking, Mu Hongshang only heard the word "line", and he had already hurriedly stood up and rushed out in the direction of the gravel road, extremely fast.

Seeing Mu Hongsheng running away, Lotus Ye was immediately in a daze. Well, it's obedient and sensible! Can't you let her finish speaking and run away! Alas! Lotus Leaf shook her head and sighed, so she had to step forward and keep up with her young lady.

Mu Hongshang didn't run far. It should be said that she didn't plan to run far in the first place, she really just wanted to turn around the lake and take a look at the other side of the corridor. didn't expect her to run out, but she almost bumped into someone else.

Odd! Mu Hongsheng raised her eyes and looked at the tall young man with some confusion. She didn't hear this man's footsteps, shouldn't she......

Doubts are doubts, Mu Hongshang clearly knows that no matter whether she heard this person's footsteps or not, people were walking along the gravel road by the lake, and it was her fault that she suddenly ran out and almost hit someone.

Therefore, Mu Hongshang was only stunned for a few seconds, then immediately lowered his head and apologized to the man very honestly: "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong, I suddenly ran out and almost hit you." I was wrong, please forgive me. ”

Zheng Ying looked at the little girl who suddenly appeared, and she was also a little stunned. There were a lot of guests from Prince Li's Mansion who came to congratulate him on his birthday, and it was very noisy everywhere, and the sixth brother went to Linglong Tower, but he really didn't like noisy drum performances, so he stayed alone in the garden.

Since he wanted to walk alone, it would be better to be cleaner, so Zheng Ying sent the little guy left for him by the eldest son of the king of Cheng'en County to the vicinity of the Moon Gate, and he walked slowly along the gravel road by the lake alone.

It was late autumn, and the wind blowing on the lake carried water vapor, which was actually a little cold, but for Zheng Ying, such a cold wind was actually just right, which could make his mind clearer.

He walked slowly along the gravel road along the lake, thinking about the recent events in the palace all the way, the more remote he went, the noisy voices gradually drifted away, and the end of the gravel road was very clean, only a few huge lake stones were standing.

Because it is late autumn, the vines climbing on the lake rocks have begun to wither, and when the wind blows, the fallen leaves fall one after another, showing a bit of depression. There is nothing to enjoy here, and naturally there will be no one, at least at the beginning, Zheng Ying thought so.

But he soon discovered that there were actually people in such a secluded place, such as this little girl who suddenly rushed out from the other side of the lake.

It must also be the young lady of the courtier's family, right? Or is it a girl from Prince Li's mansion? Zheng Ying looked down at Mu Hongsheng with a guilty face.

This little girl is not very old, that is, eleven or twelve years old, her body has not yet grown, and she has a double screw bun that only a little girl can comb.

It's about because of the birthday, the clothes are festive and lively, the Song brocade dress with a big red beaded small group pattern, the cloud brocade trim with the vermilion crocus pattern, and the cloud brocade belt with the treasure pattern, this is not a dress that ordinary people can afford.

It's just that although the material of this dress is expensive and luxurious, the style is just a simple narrow-sleeved skirt, and the skirt seems to be a little shorter than the ordinary skirt, which does not cover the surface of the feet, but exposes a pair of embroidered shoes of the little girl. But this skirt looks very new, and the sleeves and collar also fit, not like wearing a small old clothes.

Birthday is a festive occasion, most of the ladies who come to pay their respects are dressed up gorgeously, most of them wear the newly popular peony skirt in Beijing, the eight pomegranate skirts or the complicated style of the fairy skirt, Ruyi skirt, this is whose child, to participate in the birthday banquet is also dressed so plainly, wear a short narrow sleeve skirt and run out.

Zheng Ying looked up at the little girl's face carefully under curiosity, and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were quite beautiful and cute. Although this is a girl, she has a pair of slightly straight thick eyebrows, which look like a man's sword eyebrows. Her eyes were round and large, the tails of her eyes were slightly raised, and her pupils were black and white, and she always seemed to be curious when she blinked.

Somehow, as soon as she saw these eyes, Zheng Ying remembered the cat in the queen's palace that came from the West. The cat's eyes are also round and big, and when they look at people, they always seem to be curious.

However, this little girl is much better looking than a hairy cat, with a round face, a ruddy mouth, bright eyes, and a smart and pleasing look, plus the child is coiled in a double snail bun, and the bangs that the virgin will leave slightly cover the full forehead, and it looks more and more like a doll in a New Year's painting, or a lotus virgin next to the statue of Guanyin in the temple.

Although Zheng Ying was almost hit, how could he care about the child, besides, the child seemed to be sensible, and he apologized very happily. Therefore, Zheng Ying didn't speak, and nodded slightly at Mu Hongsheng as an answer.

Seeing that Zheng Ying didn't care, Mu Hongshang immediately laughed, she saluted Zheng Ying uprightly, and said with a smile: "It's me who is reckless, fortunately you don't care." ”

Zheng Ying still didn't speak, but nodded at Mu Hongsheng with a very gentle expression and replied, this little girl is in his way, and she has already said goodbye, should you get out of the way and let him continue to walk along the lake?
