Qi Rui pushed open the corner door of the back garden of the palace, avoided the two servants who were talking under the porch, tiptoed down the verandah, and walked to the depths of the garden under a magnificent waterfall of wisteria flowers, and quickly climbed the tree and sat down on the vine branches that were intertwined into a net.

The sun was shining, shining through the curtains on her delicate face, making her have to half-squint. She picked a large banana leaf and put it behind her waist, lay down, pillowed the back of her head with both hands, and stilted Erlang's legs.

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps at the corner gate, and someone was anxiously saying, "Where is the county lord?" Can you see the county lord?! ”

The servant woman under the porch said in a loud voice, "I didn't see it...... The county lord didn't come here! ”

The man stomped his feet and said, "Where have you been?" Your Highness has already arrived! ”

Qi Rui picked up the flower branch and looked at it, and Fan Yun had already led the people out quickly.

She pursed her lips and lay down comfortably again.

The wisteria flower was suddenly opened, and a handsome face with a big smile suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I knew you were hiding here!"

Qizi said proudly.

"Brother!"

Qi Rui muttered dissatisfied, got up and sat up, "What are you doing here?" ”

Qi Zishen sat down next to her and said, "Qingran is here, why don't you see it?" ”

"I have nothing to do with him, why should I meet?" She calmly brushed the hem of her skirt and hugged her knees.

Lu Yan is the son of Concubine Shu, and Qingran is his cousin. Today is my mother's birthday, and every year the queen comes to visit the house in person, but this year it is not possible because the queen is pregnant with a dragon fetus again. The third prince was still young, and she knew that this Lu Yan would come to give a birthday gift for the queen, but no, just when she was about to go to her mother's room, Yuegui told her that the second prince was already halfway there.

Thankfully, she was fast.

"Why don't you want to see him?" Qizi looked at her cautiously and inquiringly, "Is it because he didn't allow you to sneak out to watch the theater last time?" ”

"It's not!"

Qirui loudly denied it. Does she want to sneak out to watch a show, and she has to get his permission? Of course, this is also one of the reasons. In fact, Lu Yan is very domineering, not only does he not allow her to sneak out to watch the play, but also does not allow her to pretend to be a maid to go to the temple fair in private, and he also feels scornful of her pretending to be a little maid and following her father out to see the world.

In short, this person is very mother-in-law. But that wasn't enough for her to avoid him.

"Why is that?" Qi Zishen didn't understand.

He was 14 years old, and his mother told him to take good care of his younger siblings, so he was very concerned about them. Min Niang was obviously very good with Qingran when she was a child, but she refused to walk, so Qingran carried her. She refused to eat, so Qing Ran fed her. Qingran is a careful person by nature, and he is even more careful with Minniang. He even knew what clothes she wore and what hairstyle she wore on her head every time he saw Minniang, and every time they were outside, he would pay attention to bring back something that Minniang liked to eat.

Min Niang followed Qing Ran's ass all day long, and he, a serious big brother, was almost a little jealous. He is also about to reach the age when he is going to say goodbye, he knows what Qing Ran thinks, he grew up with Qing Ran when he was young, and I also hope that he can be good to Min Niang like this forever. But why did Min Niang become estranged from him when he grew up?

He recalled that Min Niang didn't seem to be as lively as before recently, as if she had something on her mind.

He blamed himself a little, maybe he was too worried about his second brother's studies for a while, so he neglected his sister's mood.

"You shouldn't avoid it anyway." He slowed down his tone and said softly: "Today is my mother's thirtieth birthday, and many guests have come, my aunt, the fourth aunt and the eighth aunt are all here, how bad it is for you to avoid it like this." ”

Qi Rui thought for a while and nodded: "Then I'll go back to the room first, and when he meets his mother, I'll go out again." ”

At that time, Lu Yan should have gone to Dongwangfu with his brother, and there were all female dependents here, and she couldn't touch him.

Qi Zishen touched her sister's head helplessly, and went down to the ground first before catching her who jumped down.

The brother and sister parted ways under the upside-down seat, Qi Rui went back to the room to change clothes, and Qi Zishen went to the main room.

At this time, the main room was full of people, and Lu Yan was talking in front of Liuli.

The seat was full of pearlescent powder, but there was no familiar shadow, he was a little absent-minded, but he couldn't help but cheer up to deal with Princess Huai'an's words.

The woman in front of her is always smiling and smiling, but her gaze seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

"Shen'er led the second prince to the East Mansion to sit down. Your grandfather is afraid that he would have set up a chess game and waited there. ”

Liuli looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was full of joy.

Youth is good, and the heroic spirit of the whole body forced the * light outside the door to retreat a few points.

Lu Yan said goodbye respectfully, and stepped out of the threshold with Qi Zishen in a room of admiration.

When he got out, he ran straight to Dongfu. Every time King Dingbei sets up a chess game, he will always ask Min Niang to play next to him.

Princess Huai'an's own chess skills are very poor, so she ruthlessly asked Min Niang to learn chess with Rong'an Hou Du Rui, and she has already learned something.

He himself is also a disciple of Rong Anhou, and he can't help but laugh when he remembered that when Emperor Yang went to beg Rong Anhou to accept him as an apprentice on his behalf.

There are many chess players in the palace, and he only wants to worship Rong Anhou as a teacher, because of Min Niang.

He knew Min Niang since he was a child, the first time he saw her, she was only three months old, Princess Huai'an took her into the palace to talk to the queen, and the mother happened to be there with him, at that time she was lying in swaddling clothes, her two eyes were spinning around, and she stopped when she fell on him, he felt very novel, so he walked over to see her.

Her skin is so tender and smooth, like mutton fat jade, but softer than mutton fat jade, like congealed goat milk, but more shiny than goat milk, he never knew that babies can be so beautiful and cute, and the next time he goes to the queen, he can't help but ask Min Niang.

asked too much, and the queen told Princess Huai'an an an interesting story.

Princess Huai'an came to the palace for a period of time, she didn't take Min Niang and took Zishen, the mother died of illness that year, and the family of King Huai'an and King Dingbei entered the palace to mourn, and he saw Min Niang again. She was almost three years old at the time. The queen has also given birth to three princes, and his father took pity on him for being young and sluggish, so he asked him to move to Kunqing Palace to follow the queen.

The queen treated him very well. During the period after the death of his mother, he was so depressed that he abandoned his studies, and the queen scolded him in person, but cried for him behind his back, and then found Master Du to make up for him in person.

He knew that the relationship between the Rong'an Hou Mansion and the Huai'an Mansion was very good, so he asked Lord Du about Min Niang. When Master Du came back, he brought Min Niang in.

At that time, Min Niang was almost four years old, and the original little pink ball had grown into a white and chubby little girl, and when Lord Du gave him a warm book, she was quietly listening, and if she encountered a question that he couldn't answer, she would gently pat the back of his hand with her little fat hand next to her, telling him not to worry.

He was very happy, and took out the things he usually treasured for her to play with, she didn't like to play with swords and swords, so he asked the palace ladies to make her puppets, and then went to the queen to ask for a lot of her melons and fruits, and every time she would kiss him on the cheek happily. And the queen was watching them and laughing.

His schoolwork finally caught up.

Because Master Du didn't have to go into the palace to warm his books for him, Min Niang rarely came in. Princess Huai'an didn't know why, every time she entered the palace, she only brought Zishen and Zi'an without Minniang.

When Min Niang learned chess with Master Du, she was five years old that year. After he heard about it, he went to his father's palace and wanted to learn chess from Master Du. The father has always been generous to his children, but he couldn't resist him, so he greeted Master Du. Since then, he has been able to see Min Niang every once in a while, and then it has continued until now.

But recently, he hasn't seen Min Niang several times when he comes to the palace.

He walked quickly to the Dingbei Palace, and sure enough, the King of Dingbei had already set up a chess game in the study of Rongxi Hall, but it was not Min Niang who was playing on the side, but Qi Zi Zheng Qi Zi'an and the Nie family brothers.

He looked around and asked Lu Yan, "Where is Min Niang?" ”

Lu Yan sighed and said, "Min Niang is a little uncomfortable, so she has to lie down before coming out." ”

The brothers of the Nie family grinned and said: "Qing Ran has no mind if he can't see Min Niang, he will definitely lose the chess today!" ”

Several children have been playing together since childhood, and they are used to jokes.

Qi Zishen smiled silently. There is an elder like King Dingbei, but Lu Yan is not good at talking nonsense with them. Then he said: "You are not used to being big or small, go back and wait for me to tell your mother." ”

The brothers of the Nie family hurriedly waved their hands with white faces.

King Dingbei laughed. Every time he sees these children together, he is very happy.

Qi Rui changed his clothes in the room, ate a small melon, and then went to the main room.

Liuli asked her with a smile: "Qingran and your brothers went to play chess in your grandfather's house, why did you come back?" ”

Qi Mulan smiled: "Min Niang is older, and she doesn't like to play with boys anymore." ”

Qi Rui took advantage of the situation and snuggled into her aunt's arms and said, "Where is Sister Rong?" Why don't you bring it back to play? ”

Qi Mulan said: "Sister Rong and your Aunt Xiang went to Sister Han'er's garden to move peonies, and Sister Han promised to send her two pots." ”

Qi Rui said: "Then I will go too." ”

Liuli smiled and watched her go out, with a touch of love in her eyes.

Qi Mulan said: "Doesn't the sister-in-law not want Min Niang to have too much contact with the princes?" Why—"

Liuli gradually smiled and said: "Because of the words of the saint back then, I really don't want Min Niang to go through this troubled water, but when it comes to children, we as parents have no choice." Qingran is a good child, Min Niang is also a good child, they grew up together, and they were forcibly disassembled, and your eldest brother and I couldn't bear it. ”

Qi Mulan nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

Qi Rui went to the Dongwang Mansion, Sister Rong and Aunt Xiang had already left, and Qi Hanzhi was watering the peony. Qi Rui walked over and sat on the wooden chair in the flower room without saying a word.

Qi Hanzhi raised her lips and said, "What's wrong?" My little princess. ”

Qi Rui Zhengse said: "It's nothing. I just think it's boring. ”

Qi Hanzhi glanced at the figure under the porch behind her and said with a smile, "Who provoked you?" Say it, and I'll help you ask him. ”RS
