Chapter 10 Lotus Pond in Distress

If there is something to do, the days will not be boring, this day Zhuo Ruoning was sitting under the corridor to draw a starry sky map, and a palace maid came to tell her that the second brother Zhuo Xiao came to pick her up.

Finally looking forward to a savior, Zhuo Ruoning jumped up with joy, threw the pen and ran outside.

For this second brother, she also recently learned from Liu Xiao's mouth.

Zhuo Xiao is the only son of Zhuo Cheng, the second elder of the Zhuo family, and the only man in the grandchildren of the Zhuo family. He has the name of "prodigy" since he was a child, he can recite more than 1,000 poems at the age of five, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of twelve. The crown prince admired him very much and named him the first genius in the capital.

Three years ago, when Zhuo Xiao returned to Pujiang to keep filial piety to his grandmother, he met a foreign missionary, and the emperor was worried that the missionary would bewitch the people, so he specially ordered him to accompany him to monitor all the way. So he took the opportunity of surveillance, and he didn't know where to run with people.

Listening to Liu Xiao's three words, he never left Zhuo Xiao and praised him, and Zhuo Ruoning was also looking forward to the second brother's return.

She had a gut feeling that he would be able to help with the search for instruments.

She ran to Liu Xiao's Zhaoruo Palace, was stopped by the guards, and only after asking did she know that the second emperor's grandson led Zhuo Xiao to meet the crown princess.

Zhuo Ruoning rushed to chase them again.

The crown princess lives in the Scarlet Palace behind the Chunhe Palace, the Scarlet Palace is one of the main buildings in the Chunhe Palace, with corridors on three sides, a wide courtyard in the middle, and only two wisteria flowers and woody flowers are planted under the east wall.

At this time, the flowers are blooming, and the purple flower strings like waterfalls on the wall and the woody fragrant flowers like snow-capped mountains and misty seas compete with each other, which can be seen outside the palace.

Zhuo Ruoning carried the skirt through the corridor, only to see a man wearing a round-necked robe with blue and purple entwined branches and lotus patterns on a white background standing under the flower wall.

The man's back is slender and straight, and the belt bordered by lake blue embroidery thread stretches the waist into a small bunch, lining the shoulders and narrow waist, and the jade tree is in the wind. The strong midday sun shone on his fingers, and it seemed whiter than the woody petals.

Zhuo Ruoning was overjoyed, and ran over and shouted: "Second brother! ”

The man turned around and was caught off guard by a soft butterfly.

"You ......," the man exclaimed in surprise.

Zhuo Ruoning raised her head from his arms, the two looked at each other, and the moment they looked at each other, her pupils suddenly shrank.

It was the most mysterious moment in the gap between time and space, and in retrospect a long time later, Zhuo Ruoning realized that it was the so-called fate.

For the first time in just 20 years of her life, she truly experienced that her heartbeat missed a beat, like the moment of her soul out of her body, her brain "buzzed" and lost all perception, and her consciousness was blank.

Which immortal is this?

The man's skin is better than snow, his eyebrows are like distant mountains, and a pair of star-like black eyes burst out with a cold and cold light, lined with a dark red scar on his forehead, which looks cold and unkind. The rosy lips are like smudging out on rice paper with a red pen, which is quite ethereal and dusty.

Is this the second brother Zhuo Xiao? No wonder everyone talks about him.

Zhuo Ruoning looked at him at a loss, shocked and confused, and couldn't help but echo in her heart Emma my God, how can it be so good-looking!

The man's brow furrowed, as if he had touched something unclean, and quickly pushed her away and retreated to a safe distance.

He stared at the white jade inlaid red coral beads on Zhuo Ruoning's hair and the double knotted Ruyi flower hairpin, his thin lips opened lightly, and he said something.

Zhuo Ruoning couldn't hear any sound at all now, her brain was buzzing, and her eyes were occupied by this face.

The flowers on the entire wall behind the man were frantically brilliant, one purple, one white, overflowing with brilliance and brilliance. In her eyes, these have lost their color.

No matter how gorgeous the flower is, it can't compare to one-ten-thousandth of the person's appearance in front of him.

At this time, a palace maid came out of the princess's palace, the man looked up, and the palace maid shook her head helplessly at him.

The man frowned again and glanced at Zhuo Ruoning, and when he saw that she didn't give way, he had to bypass her and walk towards the palace maid.

Zhuo Ruoning only heard the palace maid say, "...... The county lord said that he hated eating sour things, so you can take this back. ”

As he spoke, he pushed a food box into the man's arms, and the man didn't say much, thanking the palace maid.

When he finished talking to the palace maid and was about to leave, Zhuo Ruoning woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed with small steps.

"Second brother, what is this? Was it given to the county lord? ”

The man glanced at her coldly, his gaze swept over the hairpin on her head, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Zhuo Ruoning sensed his impatience and asked carefully.

"It's not."

The cold voice is so good that your ears are about to roll!

Zhuo Ruoning pressed her head with her hand to prevent the Heavenly Spirit Gai from flying out.

"Take me away, there are many rules in the palace, and I can't get used to it."

"No way!"

The man's feet did not stop, and the corner of his eyes glanced at her coldly, as if he was puzzled by her reluctance to chase her.

The current Zhuo Ruoning is like a glutinous rice ball made of stuffing, and she doesn't know how to observe words and colors at all.

If she had a tail, she would have waged it long ago.
