As soon as he arrived, Qi Jin watched Qi Xi leave in a hurry. Wang Xi came to report that the county lord was dressed in men's clothes, and he was picked up by Prince Rong's people just now. Qi Jin knew in his heart, the second brother has official business today, and he wants to go to Prince Duan's Mansion to help the fifth brother tidy up the mansion.

"Got it, let's go down."

In the Qianqing Palace, Qi Jin reviewed the folds in front of the table. The emperor listened to him on the sickbed as he read the folds.

"Qixi went to Prince Duan's Mansion today?"

"Back to Huang Ama, the second brother will go to the court as soon as he goes."

"Good. In the past few years, Ge'er's birthday has been to ask for orders to go to the imperial tomb to chant and pray for blessings, and after you get married, you will no longer let her continue to do this. I have dreamed of Ge'er all these days, and I always dream that he cries to me, and while crying, I ask me why I don't help him take care of the mansion. ”

"The fifth brother died of illness, and his son was far away in the southwest, so he couldn't stay in front of him to see him off for the last time. In the future, even if he married Nian Huan, Erchen and Nian Huan chanted and prayed for the fifth brother together. ”

"If your fifth brother knows your intentions, he should be satisfied."

Suddenly, Qi Jin remembered something.

When I learned that Prince Lin was cut off the title, Jin'er changed her name to Nian Huan, and the marriage with the fifth brother was annulled, and I wrote a letter to the fifth brother. And this letter should be lying somewhere in Prince Duan's mansion at this moment. Jin'er went to Prince Duan's Mansion with her second brother today, if she knew about the existence of this letter, it would be over!

Qi Jin began to panic in his heart.

The contents of the letter were not a word of concern.

Qixi led me out of the palace gate in a carriage. Shaking all the way, my heart shook with it. This is the first time in so many years that I have returned to Prince Duan's Mansion. Qi Jin told me that it had arrived, and I hesitantly lifted the curtain, and what caught my eye was still the past. It seems that Keiori takes good care of this place on weekdays. Ah Quan waited at the door, greeted Qixi, and when he raised his eyes and saw me, he shouted in disbelief:

"Gege?"

A sound of Gege, like the next day. That year in Prince Duan's Mansion, Uncle Quan always called me again and again. My eyes were hot, and I thought that I couldn't cry in front of so many people at this time, so I grinned:

"Uncle Quan."

"Gege auspicious."

"I'm not a Gege anymore."

"The old slave is here to help you."

Ah Quan said and helped me out of the carriage. The pro-soldiers opened the way, and in front of the main hall of the prince's mansion, the house slaves knelt on the ground. Qi Xi held the holy bin in his hand and recited it in front of everyone, to the effect that I missed the fifth elder brother Duan, remembered the past obedience and filial piety, and today specially arranged for someone to help tidy up the mansion. Ah Quan took the lead, accepted the order, wiped a handful of old tears, and then asked the others to lead the people brought by Qixi to various courtyards to clean up. Keiki turned to look at me, my eyes were already red, and when I saw him looking at me, I was embarrassed to wipe my eyes twice with my sleeve.

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm. Second brother, you go and get busy with yours, I'll take a look around myself. ”

"Okay."

Qi Xi sent me two personal soldiers to accompany me around the garden. The old twilight reappeared in front of me, and it was very uncomfortable to return to this end of the prince's mansion today. Walking to this corridor, I looked up and saw Qi Ge walking towards me in a crescent white robe, with a smile on his face. I smiled and stepped forward, looking at the empty cloister, and was stunned for a long time before walking forward.

Xi'er followed behind me, looking at this huge palace, and couldn't help but sigh:

"In the past few years, I thought that it would change somewhat, but I never thought it would be the same as before. County Lord, remember, you taught the slave and maid to apply a mask here. ”

"yes, of course. I just didn't think that all these years had passed. ”

Walking through the corridor, I'm still thinking about the past, Xi'eryi

exclaimed:

"Master!"

I subconsciously raised my eyes, and for a while my eyes were hot, and tears fell straight down.

On the grass in the backyard of Prince Duan's mansion, there are all red flowers, and these flowers have a common name, called Dream Interpretation Flower.

I stood there for a long time, not taking a step forward.

Xi'er followed me and began to cry too. The soldiers behind him were unknown, so one of them went to Keiki and said that the county lord was crying bitterly in the cloister for unknown reasons. There happened to be a path where Keiki was, and he followed the path to the backyard. In the past, I had only seen the fifth brother planting dream flowers in the yard in front of the bedroom, and all the places in the backyard were now red and gorgeous. When I raised my eyes, I saw that she couldn't cry at the mouth of the corridor, and the fifth brother's heart would move anyone deeply, not to mention that now that the fifth brother is gone, the flowers in this garden are still blooming so beautifully, no wonder she is so sad. Seeing this scene, Ah Quan, who was following behind, knelt on the ground with red eyes, and said in a choked voice:

"These dream interpretation flowers were planted by my grandfather himself before his death. Since the day of the fight, the prince sent the grandfather back to the house, and the lord's health has been getting worse and worse day by day. But even if he was in pain, he insisted on planting these flowers in this backyard every day, planting a little today, planting a little tomorrow, day after day for more than a month, and finally the whole backyard was full, and he couldn't get up in bed anymore. ”

Qi Xi sighed softly and said:

"Does she know about it?"

Ah Quan raised his eyes and glanced at me at the entrance of the cloister, and shook his head:

"I don't know. When the master died of illness, the flowers in this garden had not yet grown, and I couldn't tell that they were all dream interpretation flowers. Gege went directly to his master's bedroom that day, and when he came out, he fainted, and he didn't find any of this. ”

"Then don't let her know. At that time, she was Prince Duan's Fujin of the Imperial Finger, and she was in love with Prince Duan. Now she is the Prince of Yu Fujin of the Imperial Finger, if she continues to hurt her fifth brother and spread it, it will not be good for anyone. ”

"Yes, the minions obey."

Keiki walked up to me and gently held me in his arms.

"Second brother, he never told me that the entire palace is a dream interpretation flower."

"If he tells you, I'm afraid you'll follow him."

"Why is he like this, why is Qi Ge like this?"

"I don't know. He probably wants to say he loves you. ”

I cried so hard in Keihee's arms that he patted me on the back over and over again until I calmed down.

"Okay, if you cry again, you won't be the most handsome little prince in the Forbidden City."

I cried and laughed, and Xi'er leaned in and handed me the handkerchief. Qi Xi saw that Xi'er's eyes were also red, so he said:

"When the master cries, you cry too. Is it sadder than anyone? ”

Xi'er burst into tears and laughed, and curtsed on her knees and said:

"What the prince said is that the slave knows that she is wrong."

"Alright, lead your master to the lake and sit down." Keiki put his arm on my shoulders and looked me in the eye:

"Don't cry, go sit by the lake and blow the wind."

I wiped my tears, nodded, and followed Xi'er to the lake.

A personal soldier came to report that a letter was found in Prince Duan's bedroom. Keki asked:

"What letters?"

"Hidden in the pillow couch used by Prince Duan before his death, I accidentally found it when I was cleaning up the bed just now." As he spoke, he handed the letter he found to Keiki. Qixi opened the yellowed letter and saw it word by word:

The daughter of the criminal minister, Qi Jin, because Ama was demoted, abolished the title of Gulengege, and felt that she was no longer worthy of the prince, so she asked for the dissolution of the marriage contract. Prince Wangduan's grace and grace.

The letter begins: Qi Ge.

The letter ends with the following words: Prayer Jin.

This is a letter written by Qi Jin to Qi Ge. Qi Xi was shocked, and took a closer look at the font, it was indeed Qi Jin's words. Why did Jin'er write this letter? Since she wrote this letter, why did she go to the imperial mausoleum, copy scriptures, and pray for her fifth brother every year?

"Who else knows about this letter?"

"Back to the prince, after the subordinates found out, they immediately came to tell the prince, and no one else knew."

"Good. No third person is allowed to know about this letter. Thou hast rotted in the belly of this king. ”

"Subordinates obey."

After the soldiers left, Keiki opened the letter again, read it again, and after repeatedly confirming that it was hers, he walked towards the lake.

The wind was blowing slowly, which calmed me down a lot. Uncle Quan came over with tea, and I was talking to Uncle Quan, asking about some daily things in the house, and Qixi came. Uncle Quan went down to prepare tea for Qixi, and he sat down on the stone bench next to me, looked at me, and then asked:

"The past is gone, and you don't have to worry about it. However, after Yanxi Lake, the fifth brother moved out of the palace, but you have correspondence? ”

"Letters?" I shook my head and smiled helplessly:

"That's right, in this dynasty where the carriages and horses are very slow and the letters are far away, there is no correspondence between me and him."

"Not a single one?"

"Nope. Nothing was left but the flowers of this garden, and the string of jewels around my neck. ”

This string of pearls and jade was the favorite ornament of the imperial concubine during her lifetime, and her fifth brother has been wearing it on her wrist since her death. Now in your hands, it can be regarded as a little thought. ”

I held the string of pearls in my hand and smiled softly:

"It is said that a gentleman is as gentle as jade. He is like this jewel, warming my youth. ”

Qixi accompanied me to turn around the Duanwang Mansion completely. There are red stamens everywhere, and his heart is everywhere.

Finally arrived at the courtyard in front of Kaige's bedroom. I looked at the red stamen in a courtyard, holding the pearl jade around my neck in my hand, as if I saw Qi Ge wearing a white satin shirt from the house and opened the door curtain, and when I saw that it was me, the pale face smiled. I chuckled softly:

"Qige, I'm back."

Qi Ge covered his mouth and coughed twice, and replied:

"I'm sick, it's better if you don't come."

I took a step and walked into the courtyard:

"You forgot, you were sick last time, and you'll be fine as soon as I come."

"Yes, you are my medicine. You're here, and I'm all right. ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly towards me barefoot and hugged me tightly into his arms. He whispered in my ear:

"It's good to see you again."

"I think so too. Qige, have you received all the scriptures I copied for you and the blessings I prayed for you? ”

"Roger. It's just that I think you think you are very powerful, so I pray for you every day, and I hope you can be happy every day. ”

"You're stupid, worried about what I'm doing?"

"I'm afraid you're not happy. If you're not happy, I'm not happy. ”

"Don't worry about me. Let's go. ”

"Will you be happy then?"

"Yes, I'll be happy for you."

"Silly girl."

Qige looked at me and smiled, reached out and hung my nose, I closed my eyes and smiled, this feeling was really long gone.

Xi'er looked at me and smiled, and she smiled, but she still couldn't hold back, and didn't turn her head to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I no longer saw the figure of Qi Ge except for the red stamen in front of me.

"Second brother, I saw him just now."

"What did he say?"

"He said he was waiting for me every day to come, and it was good to see me again."
