She was taken aback when she saw the woman walking towards them. The woman's eyebrows and eyes are exquisite, her demeanor is square, and her face is somewhat similar to Lin Huaijin, but she has a bit of fortitude. After a moment's thought, she turned a corner in her heart, this must be the deposed princess imprisoned in Honolulu and her eldest son.

When she got closer, she saw her more clearly, only to see that she was pale and thin, her face was finely folded, her eyes were dark blue, and her temples were mixed with a little gray hair, and she was much older than Zhou's. Looking at the young man next to her, he is a head taller than the woman, and he is also thin, but his face is different from that of the waste princess and Lin Huaijin, I think he is more like the first prince. I saw that his face was pale, revealing a little tiredness.

Lin Huaijin was embarrassed. Speaking of which, his mother has an old relationship with the abolished crown princess, but it is not a pleasant thing, and his father is the one who helped the emperor seize the palace. ”

The woman smiled softly, and her words were gentle, like a spring breeze: "It turned out to be Brother Jin'er, they are all so old." How is my sister and brother-in-law? ”

Lin Huaijin pondered: "My father and mother are fine, but I am just thinking about my aunt, but it is not good to come to visit." ”

The abolished princess had no resentment and sarcasm on her face, as if she had no mustard at all, and also greeted him: "The last time I saw you, you were still in infancy." Now that you are standing in front of me, I feel that I am really old. Why did you bring these two people out? After that, when he saw Cersei, his eyes flickered, and he said, "This little girl is really Yuxue cute, but her eyes are a little red and swollen, have you ever cried?" ”

Cersei bowed embarrassedly, only pursed her lips and smiled.

The waste princess pulled her child: "Ah Yuan, you accompany your brother to go shopping, but you have never seen each other since you were born, and you don't know when you will see each other in the future." As he spoke, he winked at him.

Lin Huaijin didn't pay attention, he just lowered his head to himself, and he was a little stunned. Then I heard her say, "Let this little girl wait for you, and this little girl will stay with me." ”

Lin Huaijin nodded, exchanged a few more words with A-Yuan, and followed him.

The waste princess turned to Cersei and stretched out her hand: "Their boys are full of energy, let them stroll, let's find a place to sit and rest." ”

Cersei took her hand, only to feel that her palms were clammy and cold, her fingers were rough, and there were many calluses, and she couldn't help but feel some emotion. Carefully helped her to sit down, but she grabbed Se Se and pressed her to sit down. She looked thin, but she was so energetic, she was pressed to sit down and panicked: "Slave ......"

The abolished crown princess immediately interrupted her: "There are only two of us here, so there is no need to be formal." After that, he laughed at himself: "My current status, I'm afraid it's not as good as you, don't call yourself a slave in front of me." ”

Cersei nodded, and the waste princess was even more happy when she saw that she was obedient, and took her hand and asked, "What's your name?" How old is it? ”

Cersei looked respectful: "Slave maid...... I, my name is Cersei, and I don't know how old I am, but there are people who are about fifteen or sixteen years old, and there are people who are eleven or twelve. ”

The waste princess was surprised: "Why don't you even know your birthday?" What about your parents? ”

"I have no father or mother, I have grown up for a few years, I was injured and rescued by the Son, and my name was also given by the Son."

"No father and no mother...... The waste princess patted her hand gently, her eyes were full of pity: "Poor child, you must have suffered a lot, but I feel very close to you, but with my current situation, I can't protect myself, and I can't help you too much." As he spoke, he sighed faintly.

Cersei felt even more frightened and a little sad. Such a gentle and pure woman has fallen into such a situation, and she can't help but secretly hate the injustice of the world. Then he said, "Good boy, I have a piece of advice for you, and you must remember that whoever asks you how old you are in the future must tell you when you are young." If you look skinny, you will say how young you are, and others will not care. He pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you are eleven years old this year, you look like you, do you remember?" ”

Seeing that she was confused, the waste princess patted her hand again: "I just think you have suffered too much since you were a child, and your body and bones don't look good, let alone how old you are, you can get married and have children later in the future, and take care of your body for a few years." ”

Cersei couldn't help blushing, but she felt her kindness and was grateful. I was about to say something, but suddenly I felt a hard hand and something more.

"I don't have anything left, only this jade pendant, which I want to leave to my third son, so I have been carrying it with me, and it has not been looted by them...... When I add makeup to you later. The waste princess looked at Cersei stupidly, and her beautiful eyes full of vicissitudes swelled with clouds, full of emotions that she couldn't understand.

Cersei was uncomfortable with her, and was about to refuse, but she held it with both hands: "Take it, count me a little thought." This garden is usually not visited, but since we see it today, it is a great fate. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out, so you will ...... for me See more of the world with my children. Cersei had no choice but to nod and retract his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a piece of white jade pendant, engraved with two words, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which was worth a lot of money at a glance.

When the waste princess saw her holding it and looked at the word, she asked, "Can you read?" ”

Cersei carefully picked up the jade pendant and said, "The prince taught me to know something, but I don't recognize these two words. ”

The waste princess showed a smile on her face: "Brother Jin treats you very well." ”

Cersei nodded and said seriously: "The prince treats me very well, if it weren't for him, I would have died four years ago." ”

The waste princess didn't seem to be able to hear this, her eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she hurriedly led the conversation: "The words on the jade pendant are very good-looking, I see that the prince also has many good-looking jade pendants, but it is rare to see the words engraved so beautifully." ”

The waste princess pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "This is engraved by His Royal Highness himself." I had two sons at that time, and Wen Po said that the womb of my third child was similar to a girl, and His Royal Highness was very happy, so he named it 'Lang Huan' and engraved it on the jade. Who knows...... "Who knows that the third child is still a boy, and he died in the palace change."

Cersei lamented in his heart, he has been with Desheng for a long time, he has not learned other advantages, but he has learned his ability to not open which pot to mention, it can be seen that the son of the world often says that the black is close to the ink, which is very reasonable, and in the future, he must be far away from Desheng.

Seeing the annoyed look, the waste princess smiled, patted her hand lightly and said: "This jade was given to him by His Highness's grandmother when he was young, if His Highness knew that I had this opportunity with you today, I would probably agree to let me give it to you." ”

Cersei's eyes were wide and round, and his eyes were blazing: "This jade pendant is so valuable, you can give it to me as a makeup, I think I can marry the son of Steward Zhao." ”

The abolished crown princess couldn't help laughing: "Why do you want to marry the son who is in charge?" ”

Cersei was a little shy: "Yan Cao said, Steward Zhao is in charge of the shop outside, and his wife is in charge of the big kitchen, if he marries his son, he will definitely be able to eat a lot of good things that can't be eaten on weekdays in the future, and he can also get a lot of gadgets from the West, and Steward Zhao's son can read, although he can't respond, but the scholar is weak and reasonable, and he generally won't beat his wife." ”

The waste princess teased her: "Isn't it rare not to beat your wife?" ”

Cersei nodded and counted with his fingers: "Mrs. Li on the second door is often beaten by her husband, and Desheng's mother has also been beaten, Mama Feng's husband will beat her when he drinks, and ......"

The waste princess was dumbfounded: "It sounds like the son of Steward Zhao is really good." Then he said uneasily: "You should be more active on weekdays, and don't always sit, so that in the future, the scholar will not be able to beat you if he wants to, but if he can beat you, you will be able to run faster." ”

Chow waved his little arm that couldn't see the muscles: "I'm very good at beating people, if the girls in Jihui Courtyard are talking about the boss according to fighting, then I must be the boss of Jihui Courtyard." A little overlord who was alive and was about to continue blowing, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Huaijin and the three of them standing in the shadow of the tree behind the two of them, and he didn't know how long he had been standing there, so he couldn't help but put down his hand and quickly stood up.

The waste princess looked at the seer and saw the three people who had returned, and they returned to their previous gentle and dignified appearance: "Are you back?" ”

Lin Huaijin bowed and saluted: "It's not early, I didn't explain to my family before I came out to come to Honolulu, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that my family will be in a hurry, so I'll come to see my aunt another day." ”

The waste princess nodded: "You don't have to come, I am very happy to see you today, and I have no regrets." I have received your wishes, but it is better for you to come less here. ”

Lin Huaijin was silent, saluted again, and then left with Cersei and Desheng. The deposed princess and her son leaned against the scarlet pillars, their eyes lingering on them until they disappeared behind the corner gate.

"Mother, how innocent she is."

The wasted princess turned her head, and the mottled shadows of the trees cast on her face, cutting her face into pieces, like the white porcelain carved pattern plate that he accidentally broke when they left the palace. She looked at her son with an unbearable face, and her eyes were resolute: "Huang'er, this is her life, and it has been decided from the moment she was born." She paused, then stretched out her hand again, caressed his head lovingly, and sighed, "Which of us is not innocent?" ”

*******

On the way back, all three were silent. Lin Huaijin's expression was gloomy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he regretted the fate of the abolished princess, Desheng looked at this, looked at that, didn't dare to talk, and went back to the house in silence all the way.

Lin Huaijin has to stay in the study for an hour every night to read and write, and even today is no exception. Cersei felt that his chest was tight, and his mind was full of the voice and words of the abolished princess. Seeing Lin Huaijin grinding ink, she took out the jade pendant and showed him: "The prince taught me to write these two words." ”

Lin Huaijin nodded, waited for her to polish the ink, dipped her pen into the pen, and wrote the word "Lang Huan" smoothly. He learned Dong Qichang's body, and the garden was beautiful and elegant, without any sense of clumsiness. I went up to look at it, but I couldn't see why, I just thought it was beautiful. Lin Huaijin asked her to put these two words away, and laid out another piece of paper: "These two words are too difficult for you to write now, but fortunately, you have strong hands, hold the pen steadily, practice hard, and you will be able to write soon." ”

Cersei nodded, saw him dip the tip of the pen again, and wrote the word "Cersei" in small letters: "You practice your name first, you can't even write your own name." After that, he patiently explained to her how to write one stroke at a time. Cersei just stared at the word and nodded, Lin Huaijin could only see her hair in a double bun black and shiny, her ears were round and pink, very cute, and her words stopped unconsciously.

Cersei looked at him strangely, and when he saw that he was distracted again, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. Lin Huaijin suddenly woke up, and saw that Desheng was also looking at him, his eyes were a little clear, and he pretended to be angry and glared at Desheng, but his ears were red, and he quickly finished talking to Cersei, and let her go to practice by herself.

After a while, Desheng stepped over, his face was narrow, and he was about to speak, Lin Huaijin looked at him: "Mama Tao said that she has a nephew at home, who is very clever, and feels that there is no future in Zhuangzi, and begged my mother to come to the house to serve. ”

Desheng immediately smeared oil on the soles of his feet: "Lord Shizi, you practice first, I suddenly remembered that Zhao Yong, the son of Zhao's housekeeper, asked me to drink, and there was a servant here." As he spoke, he shouted to Cersei again: "Cersei, you look at it a little, don't let the prince stay up too late and hurt his eyes." After that, he muttered in a voice that could be heard by both of them: "This Zhao Yong, he likes to drink when he has nothing to do, and he drinks too much and goes crazy, I really don't want to go!" Without looking at the faces of the two of them, they ran away with a smoke, and did not forget to cover the door before leaving.

Stunned, Lin Huaijin couldn't help laughing, hurriedly held back, and ordered Cersei to come over and grind the ink.
