Chapter 16: Reunion
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is supposed to be a day for family reunions, but I am locked up here by the flower curtain.
It's been more than ten days, and I'm going to die or live! What's the deal with keeping me here?
"Girl", Lian'er pushed open the door and walked in, "Why hasn't the girl eaten a bite?" The food was cold, and the slave maid went to warm it for the girl. Lian'er put the food in the basket.
"No, I don't want to eat it."
"How can this be done, it's not good if you're hungry."
"Forget about starvation, no one cares if I live or die anyway."
"How so? Presumably the girl has something to worry about, you might as well tell Lian'er about it. ”
Lian'er squatted in front of me, holding my hands, looking at me with a pair of beautiful eyes.
I said, "Lian'er, when do you say Hua Mulian is going to lock me up?" ”
Lian'er thought for a while and said, "Lian'er doesn't know what happened between the girl and the prince, but Lian'er can see that the prince likes the girl!" ”
"Huh! Like? Like someone to lock her up? ”
"The girl can rest assured, the prince will definitely let the girl out."
I lowered my head and stopped talking, Lian'er packed up the food and prepared to go out, when a scolding came from the gate of the courtyard, "Bold! Don't you salute when you see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How many heads do you have! ”
"The subordinates don't dare, but they ...... The prince has instructed that no one can enter this courtyard. ”
"You are so daring! Is there any place in this palace that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't go? Don't get out of the way yet! ”
"Yes...... Yes ......"
Is it the prince's brother? Did the prince's brother come to save me?
I hurried out, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
I looked in the direction of the gate of the courtyard, and saw a group of people walking towards this side, the person in the lead, with a lofty spirit, his hair combed high, his hands behind his back, his expression was confident and firm, isn't that the prince's brother!
I pushed the guards away and ran towards the prince's brother.
"Brother Prince!" , I shouted happily, but cried again, "Qiao'er misses you so much, Qiao'er thinks I'll never see you again!" ”
Brother Prince hugged me and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Qiao'er, my brother will protect you in the future, and see who dares to bully you!" ”
I complained, "Why are you coming to me now?" I've been locked up here for so long, I'm going crazy! ”
Brother Prince wiped the tears from my face, "Okay, don't cry, let's go home!" ”
Brother Prince took my hand and was about to leave, when Hua Mulian rushed over and collided with us.
"No one wants to take her away today!"
Brother Prince stood in front of me, blocked me and Hanamaku, and said, "Joke! Is there a reason why the person this prince wants can't be taken away? Could it be that the crown prince is still afraid of you as a prince? ”
Hua Mu Lian clenched his hand into a fist and stared at the prince's brother fiercely, and the prince's brother said again: "It seems that King Lian has read the sage book for so many years in vain!" The elders and the young are not respectful! The concubine has taught a good son! ”
Brother Prince looked at Hua Mu Lian playfully, Hua Mu Lian reluctantly saluted, and then, Brother Prince pulled me away.
After leaving the Lianqin Palace, the prince's brother let go of my hand and said to me: "In the future, you will live in my palace, do you know the way to Shangqing Palace?" ”
I nodded, and the prince's brother said again: "You go back first, I still have something to do!" With that, he turned around and left.
Why did the prince's brother suddenly become so angry? I've never been so cold to me before! If I had been in the past, he would have sent me back and left, but now it seems to be a different person, is it that my temper has changed when I am sick?
