Bai Hongqi followed from a distance, and saw the emperor holding Xie Jieyu's hand around the edge of the pool and slowly walking forward.

Further ahead, there was nightshade planted on the other side of the pool, and when the evening breeze blew, the strong aroma rushed to the face.

Fortunately, the two masters went around in a circle and slowly came back.

Qingmei led the people to prepare hot water and put away the clothes and skirts that the master had changed. Because I was walking in the bamboo forest just now, I needed to iron my cloak and skirt.

Shainin leaned against the edge of the tub, his cheeks flushed from the heat. Princess Yuyao had been taken by Fang Shanggong to coax her to sleep, and when she came out after bathing, she was wearing a light apricot red bedgown, and after thinking about it, she added another single shirt before she came out.

The emperor sat at the head of the bed and read a book, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, finally not so cramped.

It's not that she's suddenly shy like a bride, it's ...... Some are overwhelmed.

Just now, the emperor said a lot of things to her by the bridge in the bamboo forest, but she was fine, crying and crying, and she didn't know what she had said.

"It's not early, the emperor should rest early."

"Hmm," the emperor turned his head to look at her: "Wipe your hair dry and go to bed again, so you don't have to get up tomorrow morning and complain about a headache." ”

Xie Ning didn't want to move, he lazily lay down in the bed, and pulled a thick velvet gauze cushion under his head: "Don't wipe it, it's too sleepy...... The windows are closed, and the tents are kept open, so that the wind cannot enter. ”

The emperor put down the book in his hand, pulled the piece of velvet yarn that was pressed by her, wrapped her hair in the velvet yarn and wiped it slowly.

The washed hair has a good-smelling, damp aroma. The emperor gently leaned down and kissed her round earlobe lightly while rubbing it.

Xie Ning trembled, his body curled up, and his face was put into the bed, hiding it from him.

But there are some things that can't be hidden, such as ......

Her earlobes and neck were slowly dyed with a layer of crimson, like the color of a new rouge, and like an apricot on a branch in April, which faded and gradually revealed a sweet flush.

The emperor wiped it very carefully, starting from the ends of his hair, slowly moving upward, and then he didn't know where to throw the velvet yarn, his fingers ran through her soft hair, holding her face, loving and delicate kissing.

The bedgown was a little too thin, the lacing at the placket was crumpled apart, revealing the red satin bandeau inside, and the thin lacing was torn off with a little force, Xie Ning stretched out his hand and covered his eyes from him.

The soft palm covered his eyes, but the emperor had already seen it.

Even has children, but Shainin feels that today's closeness is different from the past. She couldn't tell what the difference was, she just felt that the two people had never been so close before, and the close seemed to have become one person.

The wind outside was tightening again, and a string of bamboo chimes hanging by the window were blowing and clanging. The bamboo bell is not as crisp and loud as the copper bell, but the bamboo is hollow, and the sound made when it hits is more beautiful.

Xie Ning didn't sleep well at night, she always felt as if there was something pressing on her heart, and she couldn't figure it out through a heavy fog.

She slept too late at night, and she woke up late in the morning.

Princess Yuyao was going to come to Xie Ning after she woke up, and the eldest prince coaxed her and took her out to eat snacks, and she still had to come in after eating snacks. The eldest prince coaxed her to the flower garden again, saying that she would pick a flower, and when she turned around, she could put a hairpin on her head when she turned around and thanked Niangniang for her makeup.

This is a good idea, Princess Yuyao picked out the flowers when she arrived in the flowers, look at this, look at that one, there are flowers on the left and right in front of her body, some of the flowers are taller than her, and the flowers are also tall, she has to stand on tiptoe to see.

When Xie Ning woke up, he heard the voice of the eldest prince saying through the screen: "There are too many picks, Xie Niangniang can pick one." ”

Xie Ning secretly screamed badly, and when he saw the sky outside, it was already sunset, so he quickly got up and freshened up.

Princess Yuyao came over with a big plate, the plate was big, she could only hold it with both hands, so the road was unstable, and she needed the eldest prince to help her beside her.

There are several flowers on the plate, large and small, of different colors.

The eldest prince encouraged Princess Yuyao to take another step forward.

Princess Yuyao lifted the tray a little higher, although no matter how high her strength was, it was limited: "Give, flower." ”

Xie Ning was overjoyed and asked with a smile, "Is this flower for me, Yuyao?" ”

Princess Yuyao nodded, and her voice was not much louder than the little milk cat's meow: "Dai, on the head." ”

Although there are still few words and the voice is still small, Xie Ning is already very happy. What Princess Yuyao said in a day can be counted in almost one slap. After leaving the palace and going to the garden, she was mostly panicked after changing to a new place, not only did she sneak away during a nap, but she still didn't speak. finally said two sentences in a row, although it only added up to five words, Xie Ning was also very pleased.

It's good to be willing to speak.

Xie Ning asked with a smile: "But there are several flowers here, I can only wear one." Yu Yao, pick one for me. ”

This can be a big problem for Princess Yuyao, the reason why she came out with a plate is because she can't choose which one is the most beautiful, and she looks good, so she is in a dilemma. The eldest prince came up with the idea to have these flowers cut out.

Let her pick from this now, which means that this problem has gone back around.

I'm really waiting for her to choose, but I'm afraid that it won't be used until lunch. The eldest prince can't sit idly by, his sister has something to do, and he naturally has to help his brother.

He stepped forward to look at a plate of flowers and asked Xie Ning, "What clothes are Xie Niangniang going to wear today?" ”

Xie Ning smiled, the eldest prince is not as easy to coax as Princess Yuyao, he followed Wang Moyan not only to learn music and rhythm, but also to learn a lot of other things subtly.

It should have been very gratifying to watch the child get better little by little. But when children grow older, they will not be as close to their elders and parents as they used to be. If the eldest prince is not too sick this winter, then the emperor will let him officially start studying in the spring of next year, and the eldest prince will move out of Yong'an Palace at that time.

The eldest prince saw Qinghe on the side holding a smoky purple palace dress in his hand, thought about it, and said to Princess Yuyao: "The red flower is too big, and it is heavy on the head, please Xie Niangniang wear the yellow one today, right?" ”

Princess Yuyao obediently picked out the yellow one, and Xie Ning combed her bun and put this flower hairpin in her hair. The flowers were just cut, and they bloomed just right, which made her face extra fresh and pink today.

Xie Ning leaned closer to the mirror and squinted.

She noticed a small patch of redness on her neck near her collarbone, and she thought it was rouge if she wasn't careful.

But this is not rouge, she knows it herself.

Qinghe found out just now, and at this time, seeing that his master was a little embarrassed and couldn't wipe his face, he put the shawl on for her very naturally and casually, and blocked the red mark.

Xie Ning hurriedly tightened the shawl. Although the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao didn't understand, she also felt that this was not easy for others to see.

After breakfast, Princess Mingwei came over and brought the two children with her.

Both children were born well and dressed neatly. Princess Mingwei asked them to salute Xie Ning, pointed to the two children with a smile and said, "This is Shutang, this is her younger brother Shuying." ”

Qiao Shutang doesn't look like Princess Mingwei's child at all. This little girl is one year older than the eldest prince, with a round face, small eyes and a naked nose, a hairstyle with a double beard, and a magenta butterfly shirt.

This girl must have followed Qiao's horse.

Contrary to his sister, Qiao Shuying is very similar to Princess Mingwei, from head to toe. The face, eyebrows, eyes, frame, and even the charm of gestures are all similar.

The first time we meet, we always have to prepare a gift. For the little girl, it is clothing, food gadgets, and for Qiao Shuying, there are two sets of books, four bundles of imperial paper, and a set of Wenxin ink.

This gift was obviously very much in line with Princess Mingwei's wishes, and she ordered someone to accept it with a smile, and Qiao Shutang and Qiao Shuying's sister and brother thanked Xie Ning again.

The eldest prince glanced at Xie Ning, who smiled and nodded to him encouragingly. The eldest prince went over to greet the little guests, and invited them to the side for a snack.

Princess Yuyao stayed by Xie Ning's side and refused to leave, and Princess Mingwei could see that something was wrong with Princess Yuyao from the time she came in just now. When she was in the palace, she only saw Princess Yuyao once in Yong'an Palace, and she didn't speak. But when you get closer today, you can see that this child is strange.

Princess Mingwei asked suspiciously, "Yuyao, is this?" ”

"She doesn't talk much these days, and she doesn't pay attention to people, the emperor said that she is not used to changing places, but this time it is much better than before."

This is much better, what was it like when I first arrived at Yong'an Palace?

Princess Mingwei said in her heart, don't be Concubine Shu, someone secretly did something to Princess Yuyao, right? It is also possible that the mother died suddenly, and all the people around him have changed, and the child is too frightened.

Since the emperor said that his daughter was not sick, of course Princess Mingwei would not go around this topic without interest.

"I heard that you went to the lake with the imperial brother yesterday? Don't forget to call me next time there is such a fun thing, the more people there are, the more lively it is. By the way, what did Sister Mingshou say when she entered the garden yesterday? ”

Shainin invited her to refreshments and said with a smile: "This almond cheese is very good, sweet but not greasy, and very smooth." On a hot day, you should eat more warm things. ”

As for what Princess Mingshou came to the garden for, I believe that Princess Mingwei must have sent someone to inquire about it, and Xie Ning has nothing to say: "It's for Princess Mingshou to do the birthday at the beginning of next month, and I want to invite the emperor to Changchun Garden for a banquet." ”

Xie Ning's words were indeed the same as the news that Princess Mingwei inquired about.

But Princess Mingwei didn't believe it was just for this.

Just for this princess Mingshou, why is she so anxious to chase and intercept?

Although Princess Mingwei is well-informed, it is not so easy to inquire about the things around the emperor.
