Xiao Ren didn't go back to his yard, he was called to the back house by the side concubine Ding to measure his clothes.

When he came out of King Qin's study, King Qin stopped Xiao Ren and said with a frown: "At a young age, why do you dress like a black impermanence?" ”

King Qin did not avoid people when he said this, and the attendants observed the words and immediately went to inform the side concubine Ding.

The Ding family has been in the palace for many years, and there is only one daughter under his knees, and after the death of the princess of Qin, the palace will be taken care of by the Ding family.

Xiao Ren and Zhou Zheng walked halfway to the road, and they were called over by the attendants sent by the Ding family.

Xiao Ren and Zhou Zheng are young and can still enter and leave the back house casually, but even so, Ding did not show up.

After the death of Princess Qin, King Qin did not seal the courtyard, but moved the relics of the prince and the second son in, some of which they left in Xi'an when they were children, and some of them were retrieved from the capital, and Princess Qin did not see her two sons until she died.

Zhou Zheng would often come here, and Xiao Ren would occasionally come with him.

This courtyard did not become deserted and gloomy after the death of Princess Qin, but was more lively than it was back then.

When I arrived today, the waiter and grandmother of the Wangfu knitting room were already waiting, and Zhou Zheng's sister Yining County Lord was also there.

Yining was nine years old, her biological mother Ding, when Princess Qin was alive, she liked Yining very much, and raised her by her side, until Princess Qin died, Yining did not return to Ding's side.

But Yining and the Ding family were not close, but came to the courtyard where Princess Qin lived whenever she had the opportunity, she grew up here, and here she had her happiest time.

When King Qin heard about it, he didn't reprimand her, but let her move back.

The Ding family was very sad about this, but she was just a side concubine, just like an ordinary family's concubine, but she was not as good as the county lord of Yining, who had already been titled, so she could only do it if she cried a few times.

Princess Qin's courtyard is very large, there are two cross-courtyards in the east and west, Yining occupies the west courtyard, and the east courtyard is the relics of the prince and the second son.

"Third brother, seventh brother, you are here." may be because he is too young, Yining's appearance does not look similar to Ding's. A round face, round eyes, and two round wine vortices when laughing.

Whether it was Zhou Zheng or Xiao Ren, they were very tired of letting them measure their clothes, but this was the kindness of Concubine Ding, and they still came.

Seeing Yining, the mood of the two relaxed.

Zhou Zheng and Xiao Ren, who had been fiddling with the eunuchs and grandmothers like two puppets for an hour, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Third brother, seventh brother, you came back from your father, did you hear him mention the Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival?" Yining asked.

Lantern festival? What lantern will be?

Xiao Ren looked inexplicable, but Zhou Zheng explained to Yining softly that the lantern festival was not held this year for the sake of the eldest brother's tranquility, and there was no other meaning.

Yining flattened her mouth and wanted to cry, Zhou Zheng coaxed a few words good-naturedly, and promised to take her out of the house next time and go to Baishui Street to buy delicious food.

Xiao Ren saw that Zhou Zheng coaxed Yining, turned around and walked out, Yining is Zhou Zheng's sister, this kind of thing of coaxing sister is still left to Zhou Zheng himself, he is the most annoying girl, especially this kind of little girl.

"Seventh brother, seventh brother, don't go." Yining's soft voice came from behind him.

Xiao Ren had to turn around and ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Yining ran to Xiao Ren in three steps and two steps: "Seventh brother, can you give me two lines from the palace guard?" ”

"What do you want people to do?" Xiao Ren said angrily.

"It's okay, I just want them to protect me." Yining said.

"When you go out, you are followed by the guards, what do you want the other two people to do?" Xiao Ren asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng sighed and said, "Ning'er, is there someone bullying you, just looking for Xiao Qi to be brave, you tell the third brother, who bullied you." ”

When he said this, Zhou Zheng remembered that there were often female dependents coming over these days, and Yining was bullied by those female dependents eight or nine times out of ten.

"No, no, who dares to bully me, kicked him away." Yining said as well, not forgetting to shake his little short legs.

Zhou Zheng had to ask again, Xiao Ren had already frowned, turned around and left, he was the most annoying little girl, especially like Yining, bouncing like a fool.

"Seventh brother, did you promise me? I'll just say yes to you. Yi Ning's shout came from behind him, followed by Zhou Zheng's reprimand.

In the midst of lightning, Xiao Ren suddenly remembered someone.

is about the same age as Yining, but his gestures are different from Yining, and they are much more pleasing to the eye than Yining.

Back in his courtyard in the front yard of the palace, Xiao Ren immediately called Yue Yang: "Miss Shen, they separated from us when they were in Jin'an, where they live after they arrive in Xi'an, go and find out!" ”

The next day, the information arrived in front of Xiao Ren.

Shen Tong and the six of them lived on Shuyuan Street, not far from the palace, at most half an hour's journey.

At this time, Yining quietly slipped to the front yard to find Xiao Ren, and still asked two guards to give her personal protection.

Xiao Ren was really too lazy to take care of this kind of little girl, he handed Yining to Yue Yang, and asked Yueyang to make Yining happy, while he himself went to Academy Street.

It's almost the New Year, the streets are full of joy, a while ago because of the death of the son, and spontaneously wear filial piety, people have long been no sad, happy and busy with the New Year.

Xiao Ren hadn't found the mansion that Yue Yang had found out, but he saw Shen Tong.

Shen Tong and Fang Fei, each holding a string of rock sugar gourds in their hands, stood at the corner of Shuyuan Street, nibbling happily.

When Xiao Ren suddenly appeared in front of them, both of them were startled.

"Xiao Ren, long time no see." Shen Tong said happily.

"Well, you can go back to the palace with me." Xiao Ren said thoughtlessly.

"No, now I don't want King Qin to see me", Shen Tong said, suddenly thinking of something, she asked again, "You and the people below you, told King Qin about me?" ”

"No, I didn't say it, the six who have seen you are not the kind of people who will sue secretly, I won't let you say anything about you, they won't say it." Xiao Ren said.

Shen Tong breathed a sigh of relief, took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, and asked vaguely, "Then what are you doing with me?" ”

"I've come to see yours and you've run away." Xiao Ren said coldly, the woman in the secret passage of the Protector's Mansion was not Shen Tong's mother, so Xiao Ren suspected that this dead girl was afraid that she wanted to escape and continue to look for her mother.

"It's winter, it's so cold, I won't run away, you don't have to guard against me like a thief." When I first started living here, I didn't feel anything. But after staying for a long time, there are always people who reach out and look this way.
