Su Er and Xue Yan raised their eyes to the door at the same time, and saw that it was Hongqing walking in with an umbrella.

"Sister Hongqing, it's raining, why are you here in person, is Fujin looking for Xiao Gege?" Su'er and Xueyan greeted Hongqing, and Su'er asked.

"I'm here to take a look, to see if Xiao Gege is up from a nap, there are indeed people looking for our little Gege, but not Ergege, but someone else," Hongqing and Su'er and Xue Yan were talking, but they peeked at Huai Sleeve with their eyes, and when they saw Huai Sleeve reading seriously, they smiled and said: "People, but they came to find our Xiao Gege!" ”

Huai Sleeve was originally concentrating on reading, and when he heard Hongqing's last sentence, he couldn't help frowning slightly, full of inexplicability. I secretly wondered in my heart: she has no relatives in the capital except for her sister, who will make a special trip to see her?

Hongqing saw Huai Sleeve put down the book, so she slowly walked into the study in the side hall, greeted Huai Sleeve, and said with a smile: "Since Xiao Gege is awake, just follow me, that person is still waiting." ”

Huai Sleeve was not in a hurry to change his clothes, and asked first, "Who is looking for me?" ”

Hongqing looked at her with a smile, and pretended to be mysterious: "You know it as soon as you see it!" ”

Su'er put on the snow cicada tencel cloak for the sleeve, this fabric is as light as the wings of the cicada, slippery as Shu brocade, but it can't hang the water, wear it outside on a light rainy day, and you can't wet the clothes inside without an umbrella, it is a tribute thing, very rare, Zhu Hetana only has one, and she made a cloak for the sleeve.

Dressed in his sleeves, he followed Hongqing out of the embroidery building, but did not go to the front hall of the hospitality, but went to the garden along the corridor of the West Flower Hall. Passing through the weeping flower gate and entering the garden, you can see a long white-shirted figure standing next to the vermilion corridor pillar of the waterfront pavilion in the distance.

"The people are there, go over to Gege." Hongqing said, leaning and leaving.

Holding an umbrella in his sleeves, he stood in place, looked at the man from a distance, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and walked over.

Rong Ruo, who was in the waterfront pavilion, stared at the lotus leaves gently swaying in the light rain in the lake, and did not pay attention to the light footsteps behind him.

"The light thunder outside the willows is raining on the pond, and the sound of the rain is dripping and the lotus is broken. The west corner of the small building is broken. Leaning on the Gangan, waiting for the moon to be ......"

Rong Ruo suddenly heard this, and when he turned around, he saw that he was wearing a plain shirt with his sleeves, standing beside him, his eyes were like autumn water, and he was also looking at the pond and lotus.

"Do you like Ouyang Xiu?" Rong Ruo asked with a smile.

"I read a lot of books, and I don't care about anyone, so I don't have fixed likes and dislikes." Huai Sleeve said with a smile.

looked at Rong Ruo with a side face and asked, "You came to me today, did you want to enjoy the rain or the lotus?" ”

Rong Ruo heard her ask, and couldn't help but smile lightly: "You're so interested, what if I say, neither?" ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he tilted his head and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "I guessed, you must be here to collect debts!" ”

Rong Ruo heard this, and couldn't help but raise his hand and play a chestnut on the door of his sleeve. laughed and reprimanded: "You girl, you don't have anything serious in your head!" ”

Holding his slightly aching forehead in his arms, he complained, "Why are you beating me again?" I didn't mess with you today. ”

"You didn't mess with me, but you were in Zifeng Tower that day, and you were really bold when you spoke!" When Rong Ruo said this, his face was much more serious than before.

Seeing him look like this, Huai Sleeve also restrained his smile and asked, "What I said that day, but I got into trouble?" ”

Rong Ruo said: "I didn't cause trouble that day, but you were lucky, Wan ......" Rong Ruo said to the edge of his mouth, thought for a while, swallowed the second half of the sentence back, and said: "If there are people from the yamen present, you will definitely suffer!" ”

Rong Ruo's words made Huai Sleeve suddenly wake up, and recalled that before leaving, his grandmother's instructions to him, his face was slightly flushed.

Rong Ruo saw that she bowed her head and was silent, as if she had repentance, so she couldn't bear to blame it anymore, and said in a gentle tone: "You are a daughter's family, although you are a woman disguised as a man, you need to pay attention to proportion, and this is the Weiwei Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you may meet some characters, you are unintentional, but you must know that the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional." ”

Huai Sleeve silently listened to Rong Ruo's words, although it was an instruction, but it was full of concern, and the warmth in his heart was secret.

How could she not know these truths? But because of his youth and recklessness, his behavior is inevitably impetuous, and his words are just to protect her well, how can he not know his sleeves. Slowly raised his jade-like pure face, his eyes were as bright as autumn water, and he looked at Rong Ruo and said gently: "Thank you for telling me this." ”

If you know that she is smart, these will naturally be understood. But seeing that she frowned lightly, she asked, "What?" Got something on your mind? ”

Huai Sleeve shook his head lightly and sighed lightly: "It's nothing, every time I go out of the house in disguise, it's just to be lively and distracted." If you are trapped in the house all day, you don't know how to spend your time. After that, his eyes turned to the lotus pond, and the homesickness in his eyes was faintly overflowing.

With Rong Ruo's cleverness, how could he not hear her thoughts, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I am in the mansion most of the afternoon, if you don't dislike it, you can go to find me." ”

When Huai Sleeve heard this, he suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Really? Words count! ”

Rong Ruo nodded with a smile.

When Huai Sleeve heard that he could go to the Ming Mansion to find him, he was overjoyed, and pulled Rong Ruo's sleeve and smiled: "Great, I'm in the capital, and I've finally made friends!" ”

Rong Ruo didn't expect that he just agreed to let her come to the house to play, which made her so happy and laughed.

Huai Sleeve was happy for a while, and then became silent again, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "I am my daughter's family, is it convenient to find you?" ”

Rong Ruo flicked a shudder on the corner of her forehead again, and said with a smile: "Stupid girl, you can also be a pregnant son when you go to my house!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

"Hey! Are you leaving? Huai Sleeve hurriedly asked.

"Well, it's not early, and Gu Zhenguan and your brother-in-law have almost finished playing chess, so I should go back." After the words fell, Rong Ruo turned around and smiled lightly at his sleeves, walked through the corridor in a few steps, and his figure disappeared behind the hanging flower door.

Kangxi sat in front of the dragon case under the east window of the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The dragon case is full of cantatas. Kangxi's eyes looked at the music in his hand, his ears were not idle, Mingzhu stood sideways, and he was reporting the matter of Jiangnan Caoyun.

Hearing Mingzhu's last words fall on the word "Jiangnan", Kangxi suddenly remembered the paragraph "Zhaojun Out of the Plug" that he listened to in Zifeng Building a few days ago, and by the way, he also remembered Huai Sleeve and her wonderful refutation with the sour Confucian. After walking for a while, he squinted at Mingzhu who was standing on the side, and asked, "Mingzhu, do you think Wang Zhaojun should marry and marry far away?" ”

Mingzhu was originally full of luck and luck, but when she heard Kangxi open her mouth and asked such an irrelevant question, she couldn't figure out the saint's mind for a while, and she didn't know how to reply properly, and she thought in her heart: Wang Zhaojun is a righteous daughter who sacrifices herself for the country, and it should be right from the point of being loyal to the country. Then he opened his mouth and replied: "Back to Long Live Lord, the minister thinks that when the country is in trouble, whether it is an official in the court or an opposition for the people, he should sacrifice his personal interests for the great righteousness of the country." ”

Kangxi laughed when he heard this, pointed to Mingzhu and said: "It turns out that Ming Xiang also advocates that if he can't beat him, he will compensate his own woman to others." ”

When Mingzhu heard this, he hurriedly knelt down in fright, kowtowed again and again: "Weichen should die, please forgive Weichen for being pedantic." ”
