"Liu Huanshu." The emperor raised his hand and pointed to Liu Huanshu, who was kneeling on the ground: "You will escort you back to the palace." ”

"Your Majesty!" Bai Chuxi hurriedly shouted: "It is not trivial to return to the palace at this time, it is still up to the ministers to escort it, and ask General Liu to stay." ”

The person next to him also echoed: "Yes, Holy Lord, it is more than half of the night at this moment, and the fire is strange, and it is most appropriate for the general to escort you." ”

The emperor looked at the fire in the hunting ground with a blank eye, and then waved his hand: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Then he led a group of people down the mountain, and it was easy to imagine that without saying a word, Chen Ruying was going to return to the palatial cage. I was reluctant to give up, and in the end, I could only grit my teeth and leave.

Rong Changning waited silently with Rong Ruo, watching Bai Chuxi follow the saint first.

Liu Huan Shu knelt on the spot to send off the holy car, and never stood up until everyone was gone. Rong Changning saw Rong Ruo beside him, Rong Ruo understood, and reminded him in the past: "General Liu, the saint has already gone down the mountain." Shall I help you up? ”

Seeing that Liu Huan was silent, Rong Ruo lowered his body to help. The stone under his knee stabbed in his knee, Liu Huanshu stood up with a little difficulty, and thanked his chin: "There is Lao Shizi ......"

"General Liu!" Seeing that he was leaving, Rong Changning suddenly stopped him, and no matter how much he wanted to advise, he seemed weak, and only one sentence remained in the end: "Take care." ”

Liu Huanshu looked back at Rong Changning and arched his hand: "You and Ah Yi have a heart, the fire is fast, Miss Rong Er entered the city with the Praetorian Guards, be careful on the road." ”

Rong Changning nodded, watching him run towards the fire.

On the way back to the Imperial City, Rong Changning kept thinking about whether the Holy Lord had just thought of the subtle changes in Liu Huanshu and Chen Ruying's expressions.

But I can't remember it.

The fire in the northern suburbs burned all night, and nothing strange was found. It's just that there was a fire in the dining room, and half of it was burned when the wind was strong in the mountains.

A few people were disposed of, and the matter was done.

Whether there is anything strange or not, Liu Huanshu must know better than anyone else.

I thought that the fire of the spring hunt would end here, but at this time, the Holy Majesty ordered Liu Huanshu to garrison the territory and take charge of the general office of the territory.

Rong Changning silently suspected in his heart that this had something to do with the fire in the northern suburbs, but he couldn't do anything about it.

When Bai Chuxi went to send people out of the city, Rong Changning stood by the flower shelf in the Wanqing Courtyard for a long time, and Aunt Lin came over with a cup of tea and reminded softly: "Miss, the Lujia Courtyard has been renovated. When do you see when you will take Jiang's family into the house? ”

Rong Changning came back to his senses and took the tea bowl handed by Aunt Lin: "Wait a few months, and my mother will be at a funeral." ”

"Recently, in your spare time, is Miss going to Baifu to walk around?"

"I have leisure, and Yue Chu'er is also leisure." Saying that, Rong Changning held the tea bowl and shook his head: "She is just waiting to meet me to find my bad luck, so it's better not to go." ”

"Then Miss go to Lanze Lane at the end of Long Street to see Jiang and Miss Six, right? After all, after you leave the cabinet, the prince and the Hou Ye will be taken care of by the Jiang family, and the young lady will go around more, and if the prince is naughty in the future, she will also be thinking about the face of the young lady. ”

Rong Changning looked up at the chirping of birds and birds on the tree, and Aunt Lin's words reminded her, so she returned: "It's okay, it's boring to stay in the Sifang Courtyard, so let's go and prepare some courtesies." ”

"Huh."

The long street is bustling and lively, and the cars and boats rub shoulders with each other, but the more you go to the end of the street, the more deserted it becomes, and in the end it is so quiet that only the sound of horse-drawn carriages can be heard.

Xiao Dong lifted the curtain and looked out, seeing that he was about to reach the outskirts of the city. In his father's outer rooms, only the Jiang family lived in such a remote and dilapidated place.

Seeing Lanze Lane, the children at the entrance of the alley ran around a little girl in a circle, singing a small ballad in their mouths, and one of the boys was dressed luxuriously, looking like they came from the city.

He stepped on the little girl's hand and shouted commandingly: "You little wild seed, how can you not kneel when you see Young Master Ben?!" I tell you, if you are still so stubborn and make me angry, you will not have a good life in the future! If you are obedient, I will tell my father to take you back, and he will serve me in the future. The service is good, and it is not impossible to wait for you to be a concubine. ”

As soon as the words fell, no children around them laughed. Xiao Dong frowned, very disgusted: "The child is so vicious? ”

I just wanted to put down the curtain, but I saw that the little girl kneeling on the ground seemed to be familiar, so I hurriedly glanced at it again: "Miss, that seems to be Miss Six!" The slave has sent things to Lanze Lane for you a few times, and that is Miss Six. ”

Rong Changning hurriedly leaned over to look: "That little girl, is it Rong Xuan?" ”

"Yes."

Rong Changning put down the curtain: "Stop." ”

The little girl kept sobbing, and she was still holding the half pack of candied fruit she had just bought in her arms. Shouting tears and staring down at the ground, he didn't dare to sobble loudly. Finally, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a pair of white cloud brocade shoes, an azure robe, and a cloud white dress.

The visitor stopped and asked, "Are you Rong Camelina?" ”

Xiao Dong pushed away the richly dressed boy, Rong Changning squatted down to help Rong Camel up, and patted the dust on the cloth. Zero Long Literature Network

Rong Chu snorted and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm ...... Why don't I guess who you are? Rong Changning tilted his head and smiled at her, as kind as the warm sun in March: "Your name is Rong Cheng, your mother's surname is Jiang, and your father is Bai Ninghou." ”

Hearing Bai Ninghou's name, the boy who had just bullied people ran away, and the richly dressed little boy stared at Rong Cheng in disbelief, turned around and wanted to slip away, but was caught by Xiao Dong.

Rong Changning took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the dust on Rong Fang's face: "I am Rong Changning, the second lady of Baining Houfu, that is, your second sister." ”

"You're from the city?" Rong Fang's smiling face immediately appeared with surprise: "Then is my father here?" They all said I didn't have a daddy, and I wanted them to see that I had a daddy too! ”

"Daddy recently had a head illness and couldn't come to see Xiao Rong, so the second sister came to pick you up."

"My house is in an alley." Rong Fang turned around and pointed to the alley: "I can go back myself." ”

Rong Changning told her seriously: "No, your home is in the city. You are the sixth lady of Baining Houfu. ”

Then I saw her tightly clutching the paper bag wrapped in candied fruit, which was already dirty and had holes. Rong Changning took the paper bag and handed it to Xiao Dong, telling Rong Cheng: "So, you can't eat dirty things in the future." You can't be bullied by others casually, otherwise you will not only lose your own face, but also the face of Baining Houfu. ”

Saying that, Rong Changning looked back at the little boy, got up and asked, "Whose child are you?" ”

"I ......" The child who was in a hurry to report his father's name would not dare to say anything.

Rong Changning reached out and took the letter on his waist, and took a closer look: "No wonder you are so arrogant, it turns out that you are the eldest grandson of the Qingguo family, Xun Xiaogongzi." Go back and tell your father, I'm waiting for him to take you to the Baining Marquis Mansion to apologize. ”

The little boy knew that he was at a loss, lowered his head and said softly 'oh', and Rong Changning waved his hand and asked Xiao Dong to let him go. Even though he was still young, this little prince Xun also knew that the woman in front of him could not be provoked.

Although the title of Baining Houfu was slightly lower, it couldn't stand the power of the East Palace and the White Mansion, so he thought about turning his head and ran away. Seeing that the person walked away without a trace, Rong Changning took Rong Fang's hand: "Let's go, take me to your aunt." ”

The little girl is not big, and her thin appearance makes people feel distressed when they look at it. She patted the ash on her hand and ran into the alley, her weak back looking exactly the same as Ah Ruo when she was a child.

Xiao Dong followed behind Rong Changning and couldn't help but wonder: "Yinniang and the Jiang family are both the outer rooms raised by the Hou Ye, and the Jiang family also gave birth to the sixth miss, why do they look so poor in life?" Look at Miss Six's weight loss like this......"

Rong Changning didn't answer, just watched the little girl run in, heartless as if nothing had happened just now.

Turning into the depths, Rong Changning saw a simple courtyard, and Rong Cheng stood at the door waiting for Rong Changning: "Sister! This is my home. ”

After speaking, he went into the crack of the door, Xiao Dong pushed the door open, and saw Jiang Shi drying clothes. Like Rong Fang, he is dressed in coarse cloth, thin in weight, and still doing rough work in his hands, but his gestures are full of charm that women in the imperial city do not have.

She turned her head, and Rong Changning saw her face and demeanor, which looked a little like her mother.

Rong Changning's clothes and temperament seemed incompatible with this narrow alley, and the Jiang family had probably not seen such a person for a long time, so he was a little frightened.

Rong Fang took her hand: "Auntie, my sister sent me back." ”

Jiang Shi came back to his senses and looked at Rong Camelina: "Didn't you say that you went to buy candied fruit?" How did you go for so long? ”

"I ......" Rong Fang's big round eyes turned: "I just met this sister and came back late." This sister is also Daddy's daughter, just like Camellia! ”

"Shut up." Jiang suddenly grabbed Rong Camel, pulled Rong Camel behind him, and respectfully saluted Rong Changning's chin: "I don't know if you are...... Which lady in the Hou Mansion? ”

Xiao Dongti returned: "This is the second lady of Baining Houfu. ”

Jiang Shi heard the call to put down his sleeves raised high and straighten his clothes, and saluted again: "I've seen Second Miss." ”

Rong Changning looked at the window that had been mended and mended: "You just live here?" ”

"It's enough for me and Pursion. If the second lady doesn't dislike it, come in and have a cup of tea, right? ”

"Okay."

Although there was no good tea here, Rong Changning didn't mind sitting in the place where they lived. The furnishings in the house are simple, but they are neat and tidy, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

Jiang was busy rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find the little tea and boat lotus crisp that he had stored, for fear that he would neglect Rong Changning.

The food was placed on the old desk, and Rong Cheng watched his little hands keep stirring, wanting to eat but not reaching out to take it. Rong Changning saw it and asked softly, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Rong Cheng nodded, and Rong Changning pushed the plate in front of her, watching her carefully take one from the plate to eat.

Although Jiang is not from a big family, she is also the daughter of a serious family. The family is poor, but he does not feel sorry for himself, and he works in a dyeing workshop on the outskirts of the city and also helps people to pulp and laundry to support himself. Sui Rong Changning did not have the same disgust with her as he did with the other outer rooms of Rongchuan.

When Jiang came back, he had more tea in his hand: "There is no good tea here for the concubine, and the second lady will be on it." ”

Rong Changning took the teacup and put it aside: "Although my father is affectionate, he will not let your mother and daughter go to such a field." ”
