The long winter days finally ushered in the first warm wind, and the wind faintly contained the breath of spring.

In the early morning, the cuckoos made a noise at dawn and danced wildly.

The brand-new pepper room hall is surrounded by flowers, like spring.

Dressed in a plain dress and long skirt, with her hair scattered, she was barefoot in the garden in the backyard, swaying with dew.

She hadn't had such a quiet day for a long time, but today she got up early and was determined to experience it.

Next to the small door in the backyard, there is a new four-season osmanthus tree, which is like an incense burner, and the fragrance is bubbling out all the time.

The wind stopped, the courtyard was quiet, and occasionally two or three osmanthus seeds jumped to the ground playfully and bouncing.

In the empty courtyard, there is a sandalwood table, and there are calligraphy and paintings with half-dried ink on the table.

A shadow walked by, a fragrant wind wafted through, and the paper on the book turned another page.

"Miss, it's time to catch a cold." Sheng Lan stood aside and said with concern.

Holding a kettle in his hand, Huayan leisurely shuttled among the flowers, and said unhurriedly: "It's rare to have such weather, you should also relax." ”

Sheng Lan was preoccupied, sat down next to the railing tastelessly, held his head with his hand, and watched Huayan's every move in confusion. "Sheng Lan just wants to stay by Miss's side."

After a pause, he slowly put down the kettle, turned to look at Sheng Lan and said, "General Nie never looked for you again?" ”

Sheng Lan was a little at a loss, "What is he looking for me to do, I have nothing to do with him!" ”

Hua Yan probed for a while with a pair of bright eyes, knowing a rough idea in her heart, she turned around and continued to sprinkle water in her hand, while saying slowly: "At the beginning, you were also comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, and now that the old friends are reunited, it is time to reminisce about the past." You have been following me all these years, running around, and you have suffered a lot, it is time to plan for your business. ”

"I don't have much to say to him!" Sheng Lan's expression was not as happy as Hua Yan expected, but became more and more lonely.

Hua Yan noticed something was wrong, stopped what he was doing, came to Shenglan and sat down, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" Are you still angry about the last time he hurt you? You should understand that he did it unintentionally. ”

Sheng Lan shook his head lowly, "I'm not angry because of this, it's just ......"

"It's just that his mouth is too hard to even say a soft word?" Hua Yan continued her words.

Sheng Lan raised her head in surprise, "Miss, why are you ......?"

"How do I know? I don't know him, but I know you. Even if there is a lot of fire in his heart, he only shows a point on his face. Isn't he just like you? Nie Feng's personality, I don't need to say more, you naturally understand in your heart that you are impeccable. But I am not at ease to hand you over to him. Hua Yan sighed lightly.

Shenglan asked, "Why?" ”

Huayan looked back at Sheng Lan, stroked the short hair around her ear, and said gently: "As I just said, his personality is too strong and he doesn't know how to be exposed. And I want to have someone who is full of enthusiasm and will be good to you all the time. But if you identify him, I will naturally support you unconditionally. ”

Sheng Lan listened, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "What Miss said is exactly what I thought." I am indeed not compatible with him. ”

Huayan gently hugged her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, in this world, as long as there is someone you like, no matter who he is, everything is up to me to make decisions for you." ”

Sheng Lan lowered her head and smiled, and the wound in her eyes deepened.

"Queen Qiyu, Xu Suhua, the daughter of Duke Xu, has been waiting outside the palace." The maid stepped forward to report.

Huayan was not surprised, slowly got up, and picked up the kettle again, "Let her in." ”

"Yes!"

The maid took Xu Suhua to the backyard and leaned down.

Xu Suhua bowed his head and stood outside the corridor, without the master's order, he didn't dare to make too many moves.

Huayan swayed the water in his hand and was silent for a long time before turning around and saying, "Miss Xu, don't come to harm." ”

Xu Suhua raised her head happily and looked at the painting expectantly, which was really amazing.

In the half-awake morning, there was a thin cloud of mist, and there was a peerless beauty standing in the mist, under her soft hair, a white skin was looming, especially the scorching gray eyes, shining with crystal light in the mist, as if it was cold.

At this moment, Xu Suhua also had a woman's normal jealous mentality, and she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.

She suddenly realized her faux pas, and hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over and said, "Xu Suhua has seen the queen mother." The queen mother Jin An. ”

has a dignified and gentle demeanor, a good face, and a graceful posture, which is still the same as Xu Suhua in the past.

Because of Xiao Minglang, the painting was originally a little estranged from her, but when she thought that she didn't know about her past, she gradually felt relieved.

She put down the kettle in her hand, stepped forward and took Xu Suhua's hand, and walked towards the courtyard in the backyard, "I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?" ”

Xu Suhua was flattered and said: "The queen is worried, everything is fine." Although I have experienced some illnesses, I am now healed. ”

Huayan patted Xu Suhua's hand, "Don't see me, call me by my name as before." ”

Xu Suhua hurriedly shook her head, "The courtiers don't dare to ......"

"You used to know me best, but now you have met me?" Huayan pressed Xu Suhua on the seat and sat down next to him.

Xu Suhua glanced tentatively at the painting a few times, and then nodded obediently and replied, "Yes." ”

"You just said you had an illness? Can it be recovered completely? Huayan personally poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Xu Suhua.

Xu Suhua didn't forget the politeness at all, got up to thank him, and replied: "Queen Xie cares, it's okay." ”

Huayan pretended to be angry and said, "You are not allowed to call me the queen." ”

"Yan'er, I was wrong," Xu Suhua hurriedly admitted his mistake.

Hua Yan smiled slightly, "If it's not good, just say it, I'll introduce you to a good doctor." ”

"Hmm," Xu Suhua meekly responded.

Huayan opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly couldn't find the words, and only took a deep and shallow sip of tea.

Xu Suhua picked up the calligraphy and painting on the table, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "I don't know which famous artist's handwriting is this, and he has painted such an ingenious work!" As he spoke, he looked down, and there was no signing, no seal, only the pattern of a flower, which had never been seen before, and could not be named.

Huayan only replied lightly, "It's not a famous artist." ”

Just as the two of them were speechless, the maid who had come in earlier to report walked in again, "Queen Qi, Concubine Shugui, and the fourth princess have come to meet you." ”

Painted Yan raised his eyebrows and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

The maid replied, "I said I was here to greet the queen." ”

"I don't see her so polite on weekdays, but today she actually bumped into something evil?!" Sheng Lan muttered angrily.

Hua Yan flicked his hand, "I don't see." ”

Without waiting for the maid to speak, Zhu Biyu walked straight in.

"Yo! Why does this Jiaofang Hall have guests visiting early in the morning? That's fine, and it should add popularity to this house. Zhu Biyu glanced around the room with disdain, covered her mouth and nose, and said lightly.

Sheng Lan had already been angry, and when she heard this, her anger was instantly ignited, she walked up to Zhu Biyu and said menacingly: "What did you just say?" Say it again?! ”

Zhu Biyu was not afraid, and further said: "What, you are a girl, and you still want to ascend to the sky?" ”

Tately Linlang came up tightly and pretended to persuade him: "Concubine, don't be angry with a girl who is not worth mentioning, so as not to hurt your body and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"That's what the princess said," she turned to Sheng Lan and said, "If you're in a good mood today, I won't cure your crimes, count you lucky." After speaking, Zhu Biyu bumped into Sheng Lan and still walked towards Huayan.

Where did Xu Suhua see such a tense scene, he hurriedly stood up and respectfully saluted Zhu Biyu, "The courtier Xu Suhua has seen Concubine Shu. ”

"Alright, let's go." Zhu Biyu didn't look at her, spared her side, and sat down by herself without the consent of the painter.

Huayan always watched the teacup, only watching the ups and downs of the tea.

After listening to Xu Suhua's words, her brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly raised her head to look at her, no matter what angle she looked at, she could no longer see the Xu Suhua who was outside the Zhaoyang Palace, and made a righteous move to stop Zhu Biyu's arrogance.

Xu Suhua was painted like this, and became more and more at a loss.

To this day, their identities are too different, no matter which one they are, she Xu Suhua can't afford to offend.

Huayan no longer embarrassed her, suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at Zhu Biyu coldly and said, "Kneel." ”

Zhu Biyu was drinking the tea of Huayan, and when she heard this, she suddenly choked and coughed vigorously.

Just when Tatelinlang was secretly happy, she ushered in the gaze of the painter.

Tate, Linlang went from puzzled to flustered, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Hua Yan slowly got up and walked further towards Tatelinlang, "This palace told you to kneel, didn't you hear?" ”

"Why are you making me kneel?!" Tatelinlang argued angrily.

"The fourth princess has forgotten what her identity is? How can the Jiaofang Hall of this palace allow you to enter and exit easily? Where do you place this palace? Where did you put the emperor? Hua Yan said coldly.

"I just don't kneel, what can you do?!" Tateshiro is still making her last struggle.

Huayan didn't say much to her, raised his hand and sat back down.

When the attendant received the order, four or five stout men came up, grabbed Tatelinlang's arm, and easily pinned her to the ground.

Where did Tatelinlang receive this kind of treatment, and scolded vigorously: "Painting Yan, you wait for me!" ”

"Wait for the fourth prince to come to save you? Hongu has said that Hongu is never threatened by anyone. Since you have repeatedly tried to test the bottom line of this palace, then congratulations, you have done it. Today, you will kneel down and talk to Hongu. Hua Yan poured the herbal tea in his hand on the ground and poured a new cup.

Zhu Biyu was stunned for a while, and finally realized that she wanted to say something for Tate, but as soon as she raised her head, she was frightened back by the cold eyes of the painted face, so she had to sit down silently.

She knew very well in her heart that the painting was to use the Lily Linlang to deter herself. She was very intellectual, and she didn't want to really anger the painting.

Xu Suhua stood silently aside, and inadvertently she suddenly saw a jade flute on Huayan's waist, which was extremely exquisitely made, and a delicate flower case was carved at the end.

She stared at the pattern for a moment, and suddenly everything understood. She was amazed that she couldn't read big characters in the past, and her rough and brutal painting face was actually good at writing, and she also began to have a new understanding of painting face.
