Chapter 13: Writing Letters
When I got closer, I saw that the pavilion at the top of the canal was surrounded by people, and I was playing with a pitcher before, and in an open space, a quiver was placed there and no one cared about it, and there were arrows scattered around.
As for why they all gathered around the pavilion, because on the stone table in the pavilion, there was a person lying on his stomach, his cheeks were red, his eyes were closed, and he looked like he was drunk. And sitting on the side was Sihan with a helpless face.
When everyone saw Ning Hu and Cheng Dongdong coming, they hurriedly gave way and saluted.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess."
Si Han ran over as if he saw a savior: "Imperial sister-in-law, where are you going?" I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Prince, why are you here again? β
Cheng Dongdong glanced at Ye Lingfeng and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" "It's only been a while, and I've drunk people, how much has this been poured in?
Sihan approached Cheng Dongdong and lowered his voice: "Don't mention it, didn't he run out alone and fall into the lake again?" I said that he left the table for no reason, and he should be punished for drinking, and by the way, he could also warm his body, and these people also coaxed, and he couldn't shirk it, so we poured a few glasses of wine, I swear, there were really only a few glasses, and then he was like that. β
Cheng Dongdong was also speechless: "Why do you want to pour him wine?" β
"Warm up, besides, it's a good clichΓ© to get drunk!"
Cheng Dongdong: "......" knew that it was not so easy to let him go.
Ning Hu was calm, and said loudly: "It's not too early, I and your imperial sister-in-law are going back." β
Sihan glanced at Ning Hu, why is it not early, it has only been more than half an hour, and it is not yet time for lunch for you to go back now, and the invitation letter of this princess says that she is going to have lunch here!
"Brother Prince, you are in such a hurry, is my father urging us?" But Sihan didn't want to stay for a long time, everyone was drunk, God knows when he would wake up, it was better to go back.
Ning Hu looked at Sihan with a smile and did not reply. Sihan didn't intend to give him this opportunity, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "I'm really sorry, I wanted to leave you here for lunch, but it seems that I can't, and I will make up for it next time I have the opportunity." β
Sihan said politely, but those people couldn't take it seriously, and they retreated one after another, very fast, except for Ye Lingfeng.
for he came on his own, and did not bring a servant.
Sihan felt that this was a good opportunity, but after thinking about it, he still had to give up. Why did she invite so many people to come, wasn't it just to hide her true purpose? Now, if this opportunity is seized, it is estimated that this guy will be unlucky.
"Alas......"
β¦β¦
The poetry meeting ended like this, Sihan sent someone to send Ye Lingfeng back, she originally wanted to go around with Cheng Dongdong again, but Ning Hu refused, saying that there was something, and then the two went back to the East Palace.
When he returned to the East Palace, before he stepped through the gate, Ning Hu was ordering someone to pack his bags.
Cheng Dongdong was a little puzzled: "Your Highness, where are you going?" β
"Didn't I tell you before? I'll take you to Rongcheng. Ning Hu led Cheng Dongdong forward, "I thought about it and felt that the time was just right, you should go back to the Linghua Hall first and see if there was anything you didn't bring." β
Cheng Dongdong didn't understand, why was it just right at this time? It's just that before the doubts in his heart could be exited, he saw Ning Hu deviate from his route and went towards his own dormitory. Helpless, Cheng Dongdong could only go back to Linghua Hall first, and then find a chance to ask after packing up his things.
When I returned to the Linghua Palace, I was standing at the door of the hall watching chess, as if I had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Dongdong was back, his eyebrows bent, and he greeted him: "Princess." β
"Watching chess, His Royal Highness said that he would take me to Rongcheng and let me come over to pack my luggage."
"The slave has already sent someone to take care of it, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it...... The slave maid had something else to tell the princess. β
Listening to these words that seemed to have deep meaning, Cheng Dongdong's heart tightened: "What's the matter?" β
Guanqi did not answer immediately, but glanced at the maids who followed Cheng Dongdong, and several people understood and retreated. Seeing that several people had left, Guanqi invited Cheng Dongdong into the hall and led him to the desk, on which pen and ink were already prepared.
"What is this for?" Seeing this, Cheng Dongdong was a little stunned, "You never think about it, let me take advantage of this little time to read and practice calligraphy, right?" β
Guan Qi smiled: "That's not it. It's just that the slave maid received a message saying that the crown princess could write a letter to the family. β
Cheng Dongdong was stunned for a moment, looking at the chess watch in disbelief, and once thought that he had heard it wrong. This home naturally does not refer to Fang Jinyin's home, but Cheng Dongdong's home.
"You... What did you say? β
Guanqi didn't reply, but said: "There are a few words, the slave maid transferred it to the princess on her behalf, and the princess is here to help, since she helped, it can't be without thanks." β
Cheng Dongdong listened, her heart was a little confused, she suddenly didn't understand, what Fang Xiang was thinking. Cheng Dongdong has always disliked them before, and always felt that they were not good people, but now it seems that they are not good people, and they don't necessarily seem to be bad people, at least bad people, they shouldn't do this. There's no need, everything is in their hands, and Cheng Dongdong can't have the heart to rebel.
"The crown princess." Guanqi called Cheng Dongdong softly, "There is not much time." β
"But......" Cheng Dongdong suddenly came back to his senses, "my family can't read." β
Seeing Cheng Dongdong's vigilant face, he smiled again: "The crown princess Xu doesn't know yet, your younger brother is already in school, and his time is about the same as yours, and his level may not be as good as yours, but the content of the letter is simpler, he should be able to understand it, even if he can't, they should be able to find someone to read the letter." β
After more than four months, Cheng Dongdong finally heard a news about her family, but she still had doubts in her heart, so she was not ready to put pen to paper immediately.
"Why did you suddenly ask me to write a letter?"
"What is the crown princess worried about?"
"I want to know why."
"But the reason, the slave maid has already said it just now."
Cheng Dongdong lowered her eyes, although Guanqi refused to reveal anything, her heart had already begun to waver: "How can you guarantee that this letter will definitely be delivered to them." β
"The slave can try to bring a reply." Guan Qi smiled and said very surely.
This reason persuaded Cheng Dongdong, and she finally picked up the pen, wrote and scratched, and finally wrote a complete letter.
Cheng Dongdong is not very good at deceiving people, so she didn't think about it, and the reply letter may not be true. But even if she thought about it, Cheng Dongdong would probably still write this letter, because she really couldn't think of what use this letter could be for the other party.
