Emperor Dezhao entered King An's Mansion all the way, asked where King An was, and was not allowed to report, and went directly into the front garden of King An's Mansion.

At this time, it was a cold winter, and there were no evergreen trees planted in the front garden of King An's mansion, which was bare, revealing a very bleak and decaying state.

In this bleak decay, only a red plum tree is planted next to the pavilion on the right side, which is blooming at this time, exuding a faint cold fragrance, and the side is obliquely out, showing a bit of interest.

King An sat in the pavilion, next to the red plum, bowed his head and gestured on the stone table in front of him, talking from time to time, and there was only a lonely maid standing beside him.

The boy opposite him was obviously absent-minded, and his small body was twisting and turning, and he couldn't settle down for a moment.

If he guessed correctly, it should be Hua Qian, and King An will sometimes take him to live in the mansion.

Emperor Dezhao looked at his heart sour, among the several sons, the third son was the most intelligent and outstanding, but now he can only live in the house like a wasted person, and he can only teach children with a talent, but he is afraid that even the prince who is imprisoned is not as good.

Emperor Dezhao stopped the movements of the people around him and watched quietly, he hadn't looked at his son for too long, so long that he didn't remember his appearance very well.

After a while, King An sighed dejectedly, rubbed his forehead and said something.

Hua Qian stood up and saluted respectfully, exited the pavilion, turned around and ran happily.

didn't run a few steps, he saw Emperor Dezhao standing in the distance, he rarely had the opportunity to see Emperor Dezhao, even if he did, he would be ordered by his family not to look around, Emperor Dezhao was not wearing a dragon robe today.

He blinked, stared at him for a moment, didn't recognize him, and continued to run, shouting as he ran, "Who are you?" Are you here to find the prince? Why don't you let people report? ”

When Wang An heard the sound, his complexion changed, and he seemed to want to get up urgently, but because of the weakness of his legs, his body collapsed as soon as he lifted a little.

The maid who was waiting was frightened and hurriedly helped him, "Lord Wang, be careful!" ”

Emperor Dezhao's nose soured suddenly, and he stepped forward unhurriedly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, I happened to pass by, come and see you."

Hua Qian stopped abruptly, glanced up and down at Emperor Dezhao, as if he couldn't believe that the old man in front of him was the Son of Heaven, and turned back to look at King An.

King An's face tightened, "Brother Qian, don't kowtow to the emperor soon!" ”

Hua Qian hurriedly knelt down, "Hua Qian knocked to see the emperor!" ”

"Get up".

Hua Qian got up, looked Emperor Dezhao up and down again, and suddenly grinned, "You are the emperor?" Father said that the emperor is so fierce, why aren't you fierce? ”

"Brother Qian!"

Emperor Dezhao waved his hand and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, children's words are the most cute, come and reward."

King An had already been pushed out of the pavilion by the maid, came to the two of them, and bowed, "Erchen has seen my father, Brother Qian, why don't you thank the emperor for reward?" ”

Hua Qian knelt down and kowtowed neatly, "Hua Qian, thank the emperor for the reward."

"Get up, how old are you?"

Hua Qian got up again and replied crisply, "Six years old."

"We're six years old—"

His three sons have also been crippled for six years—

King An was a little embarrassed and said, "My father forgives the sin, the son's house is cold, and Cousin Hua is playful, so he has no time to discipline Brother Qian'er, so the son-in-law took him to the house to detain him."

Emperor Dezhao smiled and said, "Your cousin, this should be the case, Brother Qian'er, what were you doing just now?" ”

"The prince is teaching me the nine-square grid."

"Have you learned?"

Hua Qian's fat and tender little face turned red, "The prince only started teaching today, and I will do it tomorrow!" ”

Emperor Dezhao, who was amused by a child, laughed, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of his soft hair, "Then you have to follow the prince to study hard, and don't learn from your father."

Hua Qian obviously didn't expect him to reach out and touch his hair, and after being stunned for a moment, a pair of watery peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded again and again.

The child's pure and envious eyes made Emperor Dezhao's heart wet and soft, he thought that he was really old, and he no longer liked the charming beauties of the harem, but felt happy when he saw the innocent child.

King An is not a person who talks much, but when he saw Emperor Dezhao, he was very restrained, and Emperor Dezhao didn't know what to say to his son, who had been neglected for many years.

Fortunately, Hua Qian seemed to be enough for Hua Shao, clever and talkative, Emperor Dezhao was amused by him and laughed non-stop, but there was no time to be awkward and cold.

Emperor Dezhao stayed in the bare front garden of King An's Mansion for an hour before leaving satisfied.

……

……

The news soon reached the ears of King Ning and Concubine Yuwen, and King Ning angrily kicked over the bookcase in front of him, reading and reading, how old is he, and his father still lets him read every day!

An important errand and let him do it! Xiao An has obviously been crippled for so many years, and he even went to King An's Mansion to see him! The father's favorite value is really that Xiao An!

Concubine Yuwen angrily smashed a set of her favorite blue and white twig pattern tea set, and cried again, Hua Yao, that slut, has been dead for so many years, and the emperor is still thinking about her!

……

……

Ye Qingshu had just had lunch and was walking in the garden with Mrs. Zhi to eat, when he saw Ye Qingcheng, who was supposed to be resting in the guest room, walking over unhurriedly.

When the two looked at each other, Ye Qingshu knew that he must have something to say to him, so he smiled and waved his hand at Ye Qingcheng, "Brother, why don't you take a nap?" ”

Ye Qingcheng walked closer, saluted the old lady of Zhi, and said with a smile, "I have long heard from Ah Shu that the garden of the Guogong Mansion is exquisitely arranged, and it happens that the sun is good today, so I want to take this opportunity to take a look."

Mrs. Zhi nodded again and again, "The villain's family should walk more and take a look, the ancients said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, it must be reasonable!" It just so happens that my old woman is tired of walking and wants to go back to rest, Ashu, you lead your brother around."

Ye Qingshu and Ye Qingcheng sent the old lady to the entrance of Rong'an Hall, and then turned around, Ye Qingcheng whispered that Emperor Dezhao was out of the palace and stayed in King An's Mansion for nearly an hour.

Ye Qingshu sneered, "Seeing the slight knowledge, Hua Shao's scoundrel tricks are very good, King Ning can't even suppress a scoundrel, King Qin's biological mother is humble, and he has never been loved by the emperor, doesn't the emperor want to think of his third son who is stable and intelligent but unfortunately crippled his legs?" ”

Ye Qingcheng's eyes softened, "When are we going to find Hua Shizi?" ”

"Don't be in a hurry, you have to wait until the spring release list."

At that time, they will have more confidence and more chips.

Ye Qingcheng nodded, and the two discussed the manpower arrangement brought by Shuzhong in a low voice, and Ye Qingshu pointed to the scenery and buildings on both sides to introduce him.

After the two of them finished walking around the front garden, Ye Qingshu was in high spirits, and said, "Let's go to the back garden again, and then go to Sanssouci Garden after the turn, I spent more than half of my time in Sanssouci Garden when I was a child, and now is not the time, when the Sanssouci flowers bloom in a few months, then it is called beauty!" ”

"Then you can show me again."

Ye Qingshu nodded happily, and heard Ye Qingcheng surprise, "Ashu, is that the second cousin and Sister Yi?" ”

Ye Qingshu followed his gaze, and sure enough, he saw Ye Qingyi and Zhi Qiyi coming around from the other side of the garden rockery one after the other.

Ye Qingyi walked in front, his steps were slightly faster, and he looked back at Zhi Qiyi from time to time, looking a little frightened, and in Ye Qingshu's eyes, he wanted to refuse and welcome.

Zhi Qiyi followed Ye Qingyi step by step, still chattering about something.

Ye Qingshu's eyes suddenly became cold, and Ye Qingyi also saw Ye Qingshu and the two of them, hurriedly walked over with her skirt, and stepped forward to salute, "Brother, second sister."

Ye Qingshu glanced at her, and then looked at Zhi Qiyi who was chasing her, "What are you doing?" ”

"I, I wanted to come and visit the garden, and I happened to meet my second cousin."

Zhi Qiyi snorted, "What are you afraid of her doing?" ”

Ye Qingshu sighed, "What are you afraid of me doing?" So according to my cousin, Sister Yi is lying? ”

Zhi Qiyi frowned, "What's wrong with you?" Can't talk well? It's because I saw her playing with a handkerchief so well, what's wrong with wanting to learn from her? ”

"How about playing with handkerchiefs? There's a gazebo there, so why don't we go and sit together, learn from it, and see what flowers can be played with handkerchiefs."

Ye Qingyi waved her hand again and again, "No, no, it's just a little trick, and the second sister won't be interested."

Ye Qingshu ignored her and took the lead in walking into the pavilion, Ye Qingcheng smiled slightly, "Second cousin, Sister Yi'er, let's go?" ”

Ye Qingyi gritted her teeth and followed.

The mother-in-law who had been waiting for a long time laid out the brocade mat and raised the wind curtain, Ye Qingshu looked at it, "The sun is big today, and there is no wind, so the curtain doesn't have to be opened, and some hot tea and snacks are served."

The mother-in-law hurriedly agreed, and the four of them sat down, Ye Qingshu smiled and said, "Sister Yi, you demonstrate first."

Ye Qingyi bit her lip, got up and raised the handkerchief in her right hand, "Look, this is a handkerchief—"

As she spoke, she swept her left sleeve with a handkerchief, and with a twist of her wrist, the handkerchief in her hand had turned into a bunny with a handkerchief.

Swept again, turned around, and turned into a peony flower with a handkerchief.

After another sweep, the peony flower changed back to its original veil.

Zhi Qiyi's eyes lit up, Ye Qingshu glanced at him, and sneered, "I really played with a flower."

Ye Qingyi bit her lip and didn't answer, Ye Qingcheng got up and smiled, "Ashu, borrow your handkerchief for me."

Ye Qingshu was slightly surprised, is it really an all-powerful elder brother?

Ye Qingcheng took the handkerchief in her hand, swept it like Ye Qingyi, and with a twist of her wrist, the handkerchief in her hand disappeared, and a lotus-blue purse appeared.

He threw his purse into the air, reached out to catch it, held it, and opened it again, but the palm of his hand was a wilting sparrow.

It was the one they picked up when they were visiting the garden just now, and it was casually stuffed in Ye Qingcheng's sleeve, ready to take it back to see if it could be saved.

As soon as Ye Qingcheng raised his hand, the sparrow fluttered and flew a few steps, and then fell powerlessly to the beauty, but Ye Qingshu's handkerchief returned to Ye Qingcheng's hands at some point.

"Oh, your veil".

Ye Qingshu took it, clapped his hands and smiled, "Brother is really smart, just read it once, not only learned, but also renovated the tricks!" ”

Ye Qingcheng smiled at Zhiqiyi, "Do you want to learn from the second cousin?" It's simple, just look at it."

Zhi Qiyi was originally full of interest, but when he was tossed by Ye Qingcheng like this, he simply lost his appetite, glared at Ye Qingshu fiercely, and shook his hand away angrily.

Ye Qingshu glanced at Ye Qingyi, who was standing awkwardly in place, "Sixth sister, sit down and eat some snacks."

Today is the first time that the Zhi family has returned to her parents' house after remembering Ye Qingyu as her sister-in-law, so she naturally wants to take Ye Qingyu with her and meet the old man and Mrs. Zhi seriously.

Ye Qingshu simply brought Ye Qingyi with her, so as not to have gossip behind her back, and didn't want Ye Qingyi to dare to be a moth under her nose, looking at Ye Qingyi's smile was a little gloomy.

Ye Qingyi's frightened atmosphere didn't dare to come out, she finally seized the opportunity and attracted the attention of Zhi Qiyi, if Zhi Qiyi was good at her, she naturally didn't have to be afraid of Ye Qingshu anymore.

But now she was bumped into by Ye Qingshu, not to mention, and let Ye Qingcheng get angry after a moment of effort, Ye Qingshu wanted to punish her, didn't it matter if he raised his hand?

Ye Qingyi trembled and picked up the teacup, and he didn't dare to come out, this is in the Zhiguo Mansion, Ye Qingshu will not do anything, and when he returns to the Ye Mansion, he will not dare to say it.

Sure enough, after Ye Qingshu finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to her anymore, and talked to Ye Qingcheng without a match, and when he was almost rested, he said, "Come on, send the sixth girl to the guest room to rest, don't walk around, so as not to collide."

Ye Qingyi didn't dare to say more, and obediently followed the maid away, Ye Qingshu looked at her back and smiled coldly.

Ye Qingcheng smiled, "Ah Shu is still going to accompany me to the garden?" ”

Ye Qingshu didn't speak with a cold face, Ye Qingcheng pulled her to stand up, and poked her forehead with a smile, "What?" Ah Shu is ready to make my appointment for Sister Yi'er? ”

Ye Qingshu glared at him, but he couldn't help but laugh, and instructed Fangcao, "Go back and remember to talk to Du Juan, find the most powerful discipline for Sister Yi'er, detain her to read the "Female Ring" for two hours every day, and copy the "Female Rule" for two hours, and if you dare to be lazy, you will give me the board!" ”

Fangcao responded, Ye Qingcheng glanced at Ye Qingshu with a smile, and Ye Qingshu glared back.

Ye Qingcheng chuckled lowly, "Let's go."

……

……

The back garden of the Zhiguo Mansion is not inferior to the previous garden, Ye Qingshu walked around the front garden, and then walked to the back garden, halfway through, he couldn't stand it, and was about to find a place to rest, when he saw a large group of maids and servants surrounding Shu's and coming here.

Ye Qingshu and Ye Qingcheng hurriedly greeted him, "Uncle."

Shu Shi grabbed Ye Qingshu's hand, "Good boy, I really want to thank you today."

Ye Qingshu knew that what she said must be a "coincidence" between Ye Qingyi and Zhi Qiyi, so she shook her head and smiled, "Uncle is too polite, it was Ah Shu who did not handle things properly."

If she hadn't brought Ye Qingyi to the Zhiguo Mansion, there would have been no such thing.

Shu Shi slapped his hands with a sigh, looked at Ye Qingcheng again, and praised, "Brother Cheng is also a good one, with this stability and properness at this age, I can't find a few in the whole capital."

Ye Qingcheng leaned over and clenched his fists, "Uncle has won the award, Qingcheng is ashamed."

Shu Shi smiled and nodded, holding Ye Qingshu's arm and walking unhurriedly, "Your mother looks a lot better when she comes back this time, it can be seen that the mountains and rivers in Shu are much younger than three years ago."

Ye Qingshu smiled and nodded, "The mountains and rivers in Shuzhong raise people, and the water and soil in Beijing are not bad, and my aunt is younger than three years ago!" ”

Shu Shi laughed at her, "My mouth is so sweet, did I hear that my aunt got something good?" Going to beg for it? ”
