It's July, and it's already halfway through summer. The sun's restless nature remained the same, and the birds and insects were also affected by it, hiding under the branches of the flowers and trees on the ground, and refused to meet it, fearing that if they accidentally appeared, they would be roasted to death by its wrath.

The beauty next to the flower branch also seemed to feel the sadness of the flower and looked lonely. She crouched beside the flower bar, looking into the distance, sighing from time to time.

It has been two months since Huashu married into the Shizi's Mansion, but the number of times she has seen the Shizi is no more than ten times, and she is the only one left in the huge mansion.

Xinqiao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but step forward and comforted: "Miss, the weather is good today, why don't we go to the back garden to relax?" ”

Huashu shook her head and said nothing, trapped in loneliness and unable to extricate herself.

Xinqiao was a little anxious, the young lady hadn't eaten a good meal for a few days, either a few bites of perfunctory, or simply didn't eat, seeing that the eldest lady was losing weight day by day, but she couldn't do anything.

At this time, a girl walked in and reported: "After the ceremony, Miss Painting II came to visit." ”

As soon as Hua Shu heard that it was Hua Yan coming, her gray eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn't wait to summon her, so she hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet her.

Hua Yan wanted to go to the Shizi Mansion to visit her sister for a long time, but there were many royal rules, and she was not allowed to enter and leave at will, so she had to visit on the specified day, so she had to postpone it until today, two months later. She took a big stride, ignoring the dissuasion of the slow-walking girl behind her, and walked towards her sister's courtyard. Just as she was walking through the backyard garden, she heard a lively frolic sound in the very center of the garden, and Hua Yan heard the familiar voice of one of the women, so she deliberately stopped to listen for a while.

"It's her again." Painted Yan muttered to himself.

Sheng Lan leaned in and asked, "Who did the young lady say?" ”

Hua Yan turned his head, continued to walk forward, and said coldly: "Lin Yunrou." ”

Before Huayan entered her sister's courtyard gate, she saw her sister leaning against the door to greet her. The emaciated figure is projected on the deserted corridor, like an air-dried bamboo pole, on the verge of shattering. Seeing this, Huayan couldn't move anymore, his eyes were sour, he looked at his sister's face, and tears flowed down. Although most of the tears were covered by Hua Yan's veil, she was still noticed by Hua Shu, and she stepped forward in a panic to greet her: "Why is Yan Er crying?" ”

Hua Yan wiped away his tears and said with a smile: "It's okay, it was blown by the wind and sand." ”

Hua Shu smiled reassuringly, and led Hua Yan into the courtyard together. The two sisters sat down around the place where they had just painted and admired the flowers, and greeted each other.

Hua Shu first asked, "Dad, mother, are you okay?" ”

"It's all good, it's just that they have been reluctant to let you go, worried that you will not be suitable for the first time you come to the Shizi Mansion." Hua Yan looked at Hua Shu with concern.

Hua Shu pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm fine, Yan'er, you go back and tell your father and mother that I am doing well here, so that they don't worry about me." I am the queen of the world, who dares to bully me? ”

Xinqiao couldn't bear it, and stepped forward and said, "Miss, you can help the queen of the world, the prince hasn't come to see the queen for a long time......"

"Xinqiao, go down and rest, there's nothing going on here." Hua Shu interrupted Xin Qiao's unfinished words.

How could she not know that she did not disobey her sister's intentions, and did not want to make her angry, so she nodded at Xinqiao and said, "Xinqiao, I'm a little hungry, do you make lotus root flour cake?" ”

Xinqiao immediately replied: "Yes, I'll go get it." ”

Huayan retreated from all the maids and mothers-in-law next to her, turned around and whispered to Huashu, "Sister, what do you need me to do?" Get that scoundrel back? ”

Hua Shu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, she knew that her sister could do what she said, and she didn't want anyone to be hurt. Then he stopped: "Yan'er, no!" ”

Huayan put down Huashu's hand and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about my sister, look at you, how thin have you become?" If you will eat on time, I promise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, I wouldn't sit idly by. ”

Hua Shu nodded helplessly, "Okay, I promise you, you can't be disrespectful to the prince." ”

Huayan took the dim sum sent by Xinqiao, put it in her sister's hand, and said, "Sister, eat a little." ”

Huashu took the snack, looked at her sister and smiled, and ate it bite by bite.

Xin Qiao happily exclaimed: "Miss still has a way!" The queen is finally willing to be obedient and eat well! ”

Hua Shu pretended to glare at Xin Qiao lightly with a pretended reproach, and continued to eat obediently.

The two sisters exchanged pleasantries for a while, and before they knew it, it was time to leave. Huashu held back her tears and sent her face to the courtyard gate with a smile.

Huayan didn't want to make her sister sad, so she turned around and waved her hand with a smile, and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will come to see you often!" ”

Huashu sent the painting away with tears in her eyes.

Painting Yan Xiang followed Xin Qiao quietly and asked, "Did Liu Yifu bully my sister?" ”

Xin Qiao hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no." The prince Xu is busy with official business, and rarely returns home, so it is difficult to see each other. ”

"I just saw him having fun with a few people in the back garden, what can he do?!" Huayan then stared at Xin Qiao and said, "Won't Liu Yifu know the news of Liu Yifu's return to the house today, and I didn't let my sister know?"

Xin Qiao opened her eyes in surprise and said, "The prince has returned home?" He hasn't come back for four or five days, and these girls dare not report it. After Xin Qiao finished speaking, she wanted to look for someone, but was stopped by Huayan.

"You don't have to worry about it, since Liu Yifu doesn't want you to know, he doesn't want to come to see you. I'd like to see what he's up to. After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the back garden.

She stood in a side hallway, observing the people in the pavilion in the center of the garden. Among them are Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang. The other person was unrecognizable, with his back to him. The woman who was dancing in the pavilion could see her face clearly.

She walked towards the men despite any obstacles. took the initiative to come to the pavilion and lean over to worship: "Huayan has seen the son." ”

The dance and music in the pavilion stopped abruptly, and Liu Yifu walked over from the main seat half-drunk and half-conscious, shook his body and asked, "Painting Yan?" Are you the queen sister? ”

Huayan replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, it is the little girl." ”

Liu Yifu laughed and said, "Why did you come here after you didn't go to see the world?" ”

Huayan stood up straight, looked at Liu Yifu, and said: "I have already met my sister, thinking that if I come to the front, but I don't come to see my brother-in-law, it is always unruly, after all, I am under the same roof." In the last sentence, Hua Yan deliberately accentuated his tone.

Liu Yifu, who was already drunk, didn't notice it at all, he immediately welcomed: "It's just right, I'm singing and dancing here, you come and sit down and enjoy it together." ”

Liu Che'er knew that Huayan didn't like this kind of occasion, so he stood up, as if he wanted to relieve Huayan, but before he could speak, he was preempted by Huayan.

"Paint your face and obey." After painting Yan, a sneer appeared on his face, but under the veil, no one noticed it. She was happy to see what Liu Yifu, who never returned home, was doing, and now was the opportunity.

Lin Yunrou, who stopped in the center, looked at the painting and was a little stunned. She remembered that the day she last met her was in the mansion of the third prince, and the two of them had a lot of conflicts, but now they were in the same room with her, looking at each other, which made her feel not only embarrassment, but also unknown fear, just a glance at her sharp eyes.

Liu Yifu strode back to his original seat to drink, and motioned for Lin Yunrou to continue the performance. Huayan walked to the side of Liu Che'er and Xiao Minglang, leaned over to salute, and wanted to sit down, but found that there was also a distinguished guest sitting on the opposite side, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted him: "Huayan has seen the second master." ”

It turned out that the figure with his back to him was the second prince Liu Yizhen.

"Why is he here?" Huayan sat down and asked Xiao Minglang quietly.

Xiao Minglang held the wine glass and inadvertently floated over: "At the invitation of the eldest prince, we came down to the court together." ”

Huayan quietly looked at Liu Yizhen, who was bloodless, but found that Lin Wanrou was observing her all the time, so she also raised her glass and nodded to her. Lin Wanrou pretended not to be seen and continued to dance.

Liu Yifu stood up suddenly, pointed to the palace people playing music next to him and scolded: "That's it, this music is played every day, but it never grows, and the more it is knocked, the more it is ugly, give me a retreat!" ”

The air seemed to condense in the air, and everyone was so roared by Liu Yifu that they didn't dare to move.

Liu Che'er stood up and said slowly: "Okay, you all go down." ”

When the palace people heard the words of the third prince, they dared to retreat slowly.

Liu Che'er turned around and said to Liu Yifu: "Brother Huang, don't be angry, it's bad for today's good mood." If the royal brother wants to listen to music, I know that Miss Lin can play a good song, so it is better to let Miss Lin try it. ”

Lin Wanrou, who was unprepared, looked a little flustered, and she said cautiously: "It is an honor for the little girl to be able to play for the prince and the princes, but I didn't bring Xiao here today, so I can't perform." She turned her eyes to look at Huayan and said with a smile: "I know that the girl who paints Yan can also play Xiaoyi, and her quyi is unparalleled, Xiao will not leave her body, why don't you let the girl Huayan show her skills?" ”

Huayan looked at the scenery in the garden left and right, pretending not to hear, and did not answer her words. This made Lin Wanrou, who was waiting to watch the show, lose face a little, and she begged Liu Yifu again: "What does the prince think?" Let's let the girl try it? ”

Liu Yifu said lovingly: "Okay, what Miss Wanrou says is what it is." ”

"I snubbed my sister because of what, and I dared to love the soul because she hooked it." Hua Yan thought to herself, her eyes fixed on the two of them. Suddenly, Huo Di stood up and said, "Shizi listens to music every day, I'm afraid I'm tired of it for a long time, it's better to change to a new game." ”

This sentence seemed to attract Liu Yifu's attention, and he walked up to Huayan with interest and said, "Do you want to play games?" Hahaha, what I have here is, it's just ......" Liu Yifu wanted to speak and stopped.

Hua Yan then asked, "Just how?" ”

Liu Yifu compacted his body to the front of the painter, and said with a provocative smile: "It's just not a game that girls can play." ”

Hua Yan didn't flinch, walked further to him and continued: "What you men can do, I can still do it for little women, don't you believe it?" That's Bibi. ”

Liu Yifu felt more and more interesting about this woman, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "Okay! That's Bibi. ”

Liu Che'er was a little worried about the painting, and couldn't help asking, "Compared to what?" ”

Liu Yifu turned around and smiled evilly, and replied, "Archery." ”
