"Pearl Zaisuke? I heard that he was left in the capital by the emperor, and he didn't come to Chengde? Huai Sleeve was in a hurry, and inadvertently raised the volume for a while, Chang Ning looked around, and motioned Huai Sleeve to be quieter.

"It's true that Mingzhu didn't follow, as for the reason why he didn't follow......" Chang Ning paused when he said this, his eyes quickly exchanged information with Huai Sleeve, and Huai Sleeve nodded clearly.

Chang Ning continued: "Mingzhu knew that the situation had been extremely unfavorable to him, and this time the emperor only brought Rong Ruo, and the rest of the cronies related to him did not accompany him. ”

Listening to Chang Ning talk about these things in her ears, she couldn't help but frown, she could think that Rong Ruo was exhausted at this time, she knew Rong Ruo, he was a person from Qingqing Ningning, and he was only willing to write books and talk in the study, and he had always been extremely tired of these complicated things in the officialdom. Now it is inevitable that they will be involved.

There was a strong feeling of pity in his heart, and he couldn't help but whisper in his mouth: "The cold place is better, there are no roots and shoots, and it is not like a rich flower." ”

Chang Ning couldn't help but nod again and again when he heard this: "Indeed, he is indeed better in a cold place, but it's a pity...... Ay! ”

This sigh was heard in Huai Sleeve's ears, as if a muffled thunder in the gloomy and heavy sky was about to shake the rain, and Huai Sleeve suddenly woke up and grabbed Chang Ning's sleeve and asked: "Please make Huai Sleeve clear, what can I do for Rong Ruo now?" I didn't want to just look at him and feel uncomfortable, but I had to stand by and watch. ”

Chang Ning looked at a pair of watery eyes in his arms, full of deep feelings and distress, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of compassion in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Now, the fate of Neng Rongruo is all in the hands of the emperor alone, and there is nothing we can do......"

As the two were saying this, a palace maid in the window of the cloister next to her poked her head into the garden, saw that Chang Ning and Huai Sleeve were really here, and bypassed the full moon gate and said, "Prince Gong, Miss Huai Sleeve, the Empress Dowager is looking for you." ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly left the garden and followed the palace maid to the dormitory of Xiaozhuang.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the truffle hall where Xiaozhuang lived, they saw two palace maids standing in front of them holding a painting.

The crescent princess smiled, "What are you two talking about?" The sixth uncle kept asking me what was in this box just now, but as soon as he saw the beauty, he couldn't walk. Crescent Moon said and gestured shyly on her face.

Chang Ning shook her sleeve and said, "What do you little fart know!" With that, he walked towards the painting. He bowed his sleeves and bowed slightly, and stood beside him.

Chang Ning looked at it for a while, and suddenly exclaimed: "This is really a treasure, Zhao Mengfu's "Tea Fighting Picture" in the Yuan Dynasty, hey, you girl has never understood these ink danqing in the past, where did you pick up the treasure?" ”

"What a 'pick-up'!" The crescent moon raised her chin unconvinced, and said, "I know that the ancestor likes tea art, and I specially begged the master for a long time to get it." ”

Chang Ning carefully looked at the seal in the upper right corner of the picture with Xiaozhuang's magnifying glass, and carefully examined the whole picture: three or four people gathered together in the picture scroll, staring intently at the tea cup, the characters' demeanor was lifelike, and the interest of fighting tea was vividly displayed in the expressions of the characters.

Xiaozhuang looked at Chang Ning and forgot everything, just focused on admiring the picture scroll and said with a smile: "Your sixth uncle likes this, look at the focused appearance, he is more serious than listening to politics in the previous dynasty." ”

The crescent moon princess giggled when she heard this, and took the opportunity to complain: "That's it, the sixth uncle only knows how to enjoy these ancient books of calligraphy and painting all day long, or he eats and drinks with those sour and rotten civil officials, and he can't play with me well, it's really suffocating for a while." ”

Xiaozhuang nodded when he heard this, and said: "It's really not interesting at these times, why don't we also get some famous things to play, so as to save a trip in vain." ”

Xiaozhuang spoke, picked up the bowl at hand, just lifted the lid, saw the tea in it, slowly put it down, and said to Huai Sleeve: "Huai girl, boil some of the tea you made, I drink this tribute is not as refreshing and delicious as you make." ”

Huai Sleeve promised to go to boil water to cook tea, and after a while, a few fragrant herbs and fragrances of grass lingered around the room, and the crescent moon and Chang Ning each took a light and tasted it carefully.

As soon as the crescent moon took a sip, she couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea, it turns out that my master can also make tea, it's amazing!" When he spoke, he looked at his sleeve and smiled sweetly, and Chang Ning nodded frequently while drinking.

"Who is your master?" Xiaozhuang asked suspiciously. The crescent moon pointed to her sleeve and said, "Ancestor, my master is her, I just recognized it." ”

"Oh?" When Xiaozhuang heard this, he looked at Huai Sleeve and asked with a smile: "How do you have the ability to tame this famous wild girl?" You can actually make her call you Master. ”

Huai Sleeve also laughed, but he didn't speak, just looked at the crescent moon. The crescent moon took over the conversation and said: "Let me tell the old ancestor, I almost fell into the water just now, fortunately my master saved my life, otherwise the crescent moon that the old ancestor saw at this moment must be embarrassed, my master is not only beautiful and kung fu, but also more reliable than my sixth uncle, so I decided to ask her to be my master." ”

Xiaozhuang heard that "yes, Huai Sleeve was born in the door, it is natural to know some kung fu, she is much calmer than you, and she is indeed worthy of being your master, but this master has to be recognized seriously, and you can't say casually, what should you take as a thank you gift?" ”

The crescent moon nodded: "What the old ancestor said makes sense!" Immediately looked at himself, took off a string of blood-red coral beads on his wrist and walked to his sleeve, lifted the front of the flag uniform to learn from the appearance of those men, knelt down on one knee and said: "Master is above, accept the apprentice's worship, this is a little gift for the apprentice to respect the master, and I hope the master will not dislike it." As he spoke, he raised the string of coral beads in front of his sleeve.

Huai Sleeve hurriedly knelt in front of the crescent moon, and said eagerly: "This is absolutely unacceptable, what the ancestor just said was a joke, how can I accept such a big gift and torture the slave." ”

At this time, Xiaozhuang spoke: "Huai girl, this is the heart of the crescent moon, you accept it, she seriously recognizes you as a master, you will teach her more of your knowledge in the future, don't shirk it." ”

Huai Sleeve had to take the string of coral beads, gently pull up the crescent moon, and hold the hand of the crescent moon, maybe the fate between people is not intersecting for a long time, and all the encounters in the world may be reunions after a long absence, otherwise why would there be a sight.

Just like the first time Huai Sleeve looked at the crescent moon carefully, he knew that he liked this straightforward woman......
