Chapter 44 There are women like jade

The rain stopped, and the bright sunshine ushered in on the Queen Mother Mountain again, and the ladies and ladies who had been chaotic to hide from the rain also walked slowly from the carriage and the place where they were sheltering from the rain.

Xinqiao held an umbrella and a cloak and walked towards the various flower paths, she was looking for her young lady to paint her face. As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Miss, where are you?" Her face turned red because she was so nervous. She knew the root of her young lady's coldness and was worried. "It's so thinly dressed, and there's nowhere to hide from the rain, but it's good." Xinqiao thought anxiously, two flexible eyes, looking around, not letting go of a gap.

She has no father or mother since she was a child, she has been a beggar begging on the street, and she has also lived a life of refugee wandering. Since then, she has a warm and safe home, and a close partner. Huayan not only saved her life, but also treated her like a sister on weekdays, Xinqiao didn't read many books, but she knew the meaning of the words "grace is like a mountain". She also took care of her young lady wholeheartedly and meticulously, even giving her life if necessary.

Xinqiao walked, her thoughts were as complicated as the path in the garden, but she was very alert, and she did not get lost, but followed the footprints on the road, looking in the direction of the tracks. Thinking of the bitterness of the past, her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, but she still focused on the cloak in her hand, she was worried that the young lady's cloak would be drenched in the rain, so she quickly folded it and carefully hugged it into her arms.

"Ouch!" As she walked anxiously, she tripped over something, stumbling forward, and the umbrella in her hand fell to the ground along with her cloak. Xinqiao rubbed her sore knee and slowly stood up, looking back, it was a pair of men's feet that tripped over her. She took a step back in panic and slowly picked up the umbrella and clothes on the ground, ready to flee at any moment.

I saw the man lying on the ground suddenly sit up and look at her. Xin Qiao took a closer look and found that it was Liu Yifu, the son of the world, and hurriedly knelt down to greet him. She hurriedly said: "Slave maid, please see the prince, the slave and maid don't know that the prince is here, and bumped into the prince, please forgive the prince." ”

Liu Yifu, who was lying in the flower with his eyes closed, only thought that it was a small animal that hit him, sat up and looked, it turned out to be a smart little girl, he looked at her and said with interest: "How do you say you should make amends?" ”

Xinqiao knew that she had caused a big disaster, and there was no help from Miss and Shenglan beside her, so she couldn't think about it, so she said in a panic: "Let the prince deal with it." ”

Liu Yifu suddenly approached Xinqiao, looked at her and said, "Oh? Seriously? Hahaha......"

Xin Qiao was stunned by Liu Yifu's strange eyes, and thought to herself, the most unfortunate thing is to die, and she is not afraid of offending him again. She quickly retreated, away from Liu Yifu, who was slowly approaching, and said excitedly, "What do you want to do?!" ”

Liu Yifu stood still and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you let this son dispose of it?" ”

"Although you are the son of the world, you can't bully people casually! Didn't I just step on you, if you want to get angry, you can also step back on me! Xin Qiao has already let it out, she has been used to following her young lady for so many years, and she has also been infected with the temperament of painting Yan who never succumbs easily.

Liu Yifu became more and more interested in the little girl in front of him, he patted the dirt on his body and said with a smile: "Interesting, really interesting." What am I stepping on you for? ”

Xin Qiao still took care of herself, and said excitedly: "Although I can't beat you, my young lady and Shenglan will definitely avenge me!" ”

Liu Yifu didn't comment on Xin Qiao's words just now, only picked a pure white flower at hand, handed it forward, and said, "The white grass is a pure bunch, and there are women like jade." He nodded and motioned for Xinqiao to take the flower, turned around and lay back in his original position, and said lazily: "You go, don't let them come to seek revenge, save them effort." ”

Xin Qiao looked at the white flower and was stunned for a while. suddenly smiled, opened the umbrella in his hand, covered it in front of Liu Yifu, and quietly left.

Along the way, Xin Qiao always recalled the scene when she had just met Liu Yifu, and her crimson face seemed to be as hot as boiling water. Unconsciously, she walked into a pastoral path and found a small pavilion not far away, she stood on tiptoe and shouted in the direction of the pavilion: "Miss, are you there?" ”

Hua Yan really walked out of the pavilion, "Xinqiao, I'm here." ”

Xinqiao ran over happily and hurriedly wrapped the cloak in her arms around her. "Miss, how did you come here to hide from the rain? Let Xinqiao be easy to find. ”

Seeing that Xinqiao didn't hold an umbrella, her body was wet, and she knew that she hadn't stopped raining and came here. She frowned and said, "Why don't you take an umbrella, your clothes are wet." ”

Xinqiao smiled happily and said, "It's okay, it's just a little wet from the grass on the side of the road." The rain has stopped. ”

Hua Yan gently tapped her head and said, "Don't do this in the future." ”

Xin Qiao smiled and nodded.

Hua Yan knew that he would run out alone, which must have made his sister worried, so he turned around and returned Xiao Minglang's clothes to him and said goodbye to him. "Thank you Xiao Gongzi for your generosity, and I will leave."

Xiao Minglang took the coat, as if he wanted to say something, he swallowed it back, he arched his hand and said, "Girl, be careful, say goodbye." ”

Painting Yan and Xin Qiao leaned over slightly, turned around and walked on another road.

Xin Qiao helped Huayan, and said questioningly as she walked: "Miss, do you know the road?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with coming with me? Don't worry, I've figured out this place, this road is close and comfortable. ”

"I believe Mademoiselle." Xin Qiao suddenly remembered what Liu Yifu said, and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you know what Bai Mao is pure, there are women like jade, this poem?" ”

Huayan glanced at Xinqiao, thought for a while and said: "It's in the Book of Songs, Bai Mao Chunshu, there are women like jade, is this sentence?" ”

Xin Qiao jumped happily and said, "It's this, it's this." Does the young lady know what this poem means? Isn't it a compliment to being good-looking? ”

Huayan was a little puzzled, she glanced at Xinqiao again and said, "It's almost, but this sentence is not suitable for describing ordinary girls...... Who do you listen to? ”

Xin Qiao lowered her head, suppressed her excitement, and muttered, "I didn't see that person either, and I overheard ......"

Huayan didn't ask much, remembering the specially painted black spots on his face that were washed away by the rain, and asked her: "Xinqiao, I make a special black plaster, do you stay with you?" ”

Xin Qiao took out a small ceramic jar from her cuff and handed it to Hua Yan, only to notice that the makeup on Hua Yan's face had fallen off.

"Help me cover up, I'll put on my makeup." Hua Yan looked around, and smeared the black plaster in the small bottle on his face little by little. After putting on makeup, the two were ready to move on.

The moment he turned around, Hua Yan noticed that there was a noise around him, and when he looked at the sound, from the back, a little boy was sitting on the edge of the pool on the side, motionless and holding a bamboo pole in his hand as if fishing.

She stepped forward curiously and asked, "Little friend, it's raining, why do you come here to fish?" ”

The man turned his head and looked back and asked, "Are you talking to this king?" ”

When he saw the front of the painting, he realized that he was a weak scholar.

Hua Yan nodded in response. Suddenly noticed something, and asked, "Lord Wang?" Are you not, the second prince, Liu Yizhen. ”

The man laughed, nodded, and said, "It's been a long time since I've heard anyone call me that." ”

"Lord Wang, please forgive me for painting my face." Hua Yan leaned over and said.

Liu Yizhen took out a hand held on the fishing rod, waved it, and said, "No need to be polite, I have long since regarded myself as a prince, just a patient." ”

Looking at Liu Yi's long sleeves and dry hands, she couldn't bear to paint her face, so she sat down with Liu Yizhen.

It turns out that the legendary Liu Yizhen, who is lying on the sickbed all the year round, is really like this, it is estimated that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is in the prime of life, but unfortunately he is riddled with illness and tortures him to the point that he is not in shape. According to historical records, Liu Yi is really good at writing and good at singing, and he once won Liu Yu's heart, but he was sick in bed all the year round due to illness, and gradually lost Liu Yu's dependence.

"Since you are not feeling well, you should recuperate at home and run around to such a remote and lonely place to do something." After Hua Yan finished speaking, she laughed again, a little self-deprecating, she remembered that Xiao Minglang had also said such things to her. She was a sick person herself, but she came to persuade others.

Liu Yizhen sighed and said, "Yes, people like me, one day is one day less, and they shouldn't come out to shake." ”

Seeing that Liu Yizhen had misunderstood her, Hua Yan hurriedly said, "No, I wasn't laughing at you just now." I was just...... Actually, I'm also a patient. ”

Liu Yizhen looked back at the painting, as if he was seeking.

"I hope that your illness will be cured, and that you will have a good time in all parts of the world, and that you will leave the prison of the palace." Huayan remembered Liu Yizhen's tragic ending in history, and said sadly.

After Liu Yizhen listened, his eyes seemed to be shining, "Can it really be good?" With that, he sighed again and looked back at the water. It would be nice if it could be like you said. ”

Huayan patted him on the shoulder and said firmly: "It will be fine, I know a friend who is very good at medicine." I'll take you to him then. ”

Liu Yizhen turned his head and smiled gratefully. "It's rare to compare the palace to a cage, you're different from everyone else."

Hua Yan smiled casually, "It's no different, they're all mortals." ”

"Who's there!"

Huayan looked back at the person who was talking behind him, stood up, and said, "Huayan has seen the four princes." ”

"Are you Miss Painting? Why are you here? Liu Yikang, who approached, looked at the painting, sneered, and said, "The second lady of the painting really left the famous lady style completely behind. ”

At this time, Liu Che'er quickly followed from behind and stopped: "Brother Kang, don't be rude." ”

Liu Yizhen put the fishing rod back on the ground and said with a smile: "Third brother, fourth brother, why are you here." ”

Liu Yikang crossed over to the painting, walked to Liu Yizhen's side, and said, "Second brother, why are you sitting here alone, and you don't call someone to serve." Madame ordered us to come and find it. ”

When Liu Yizhen heard the word madam, his face froze for a while, and he coughed a few times. He strongly resisted the ups and downs of his chest, smiled at Liu Yikang and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you." ”

Liu Yikang half-supported Liu Yizhen and walked back, as if he was afraid that Liu Yizhen's thin body would be blown away by the wind, and took care of it carefully.

Liu Che'er and Huayan walked behind, and after a while, he finally couldn't help but say to Huayan: "Yan'er, how are you doing?" ”

"Ok! What about you? Hua Yan said with a smile.

Liu Che'er scratched her head and said shyly: "I'm okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time......"

Hua Yan nodded and said, "Yes, the prince is busy with official business, and he is about to forget my old friend, right?" ”

"How could I forget you, it's just ......" Liu Che'er suddenly said again: "I'll play with you when I have time in the future, is it okay?" ”

Huayan smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" Come as you want. Our home is a hospitable home. ”

"Yan'er, what do you like to eat? Next time I'll bring it to the house. ”

"It's good for everything, I'm not a picky eater. Of course it has to be delicious. Hey, hey, hey. ”

"I know there is a place where osmanthus cake is particularly delicious, beautiful and delicious, next time I will bring it to you."

"Okay, it's better to bring me her osmanthus wine too."

"How do you know she still has osmanthus wine at home?"

“...... Just guess it, is there really one? Hehehe......"

While the two were gossiping, they unconsciously returned to the meeting place headed by Mrs. Zhang.
