Chapter Twenty-Nine: Brother
On this day, Zhao Wanning went out of the house with the silver candle that had recovered his body and went to the pawnshop to redeem the jade pendant.
When Silver Candle went to the pawnshop before, the pawnshop guy said that the jade pendant was taken by their boss to give away, and she had to go back to find Zhao Wanning. But she didn't want to touch Ruomeng, and Ruomeng found the silver ticket on her body. That's why I was framed.
Now that the silver candle is in good health, Zhao Wanning took her to redeem the jade pendant.
The pawnshop was originally an intelligence collection point privately established by the crown prince Zhao Wangjin. Last time, Zhao Wanning was beaten crookedly, and when the prince lost the long-lost Pisces jade pendant, the pawnshop owner had already returned it to the prince. Later, the silver candle came to redeem, and they naturally could not redeem it.
After Silver Candle left, they also went to tell His Royal Highness the Prince. Inexplicably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent the jade pendant back to the pawnshop and told the boss that if the silver candle came to the door, let her redeem it.
It's just that after a few days, the silver beads have not appeared again. Zhao Wangjin thought that something had changed, so he found an opportunity to come to the pawnshop.
happened to meet Zhao Wanning, who came to redeem the jade pendant with a silver candle.
Zhao Wanning recognized the disguised prince Zhao Wangjin at a glance. It's just that Zhao Wangjin pretended not to recognize her, so she thought that Zhao Wangjin really didn't recognize her. Also, although she and Zhao Wangjin played together when they were young, they have not had much intersection since Zhao Wangjin entered the East Palace.
Zhao Wanning secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, she came one step earlier and had already redeemed the jade pendant and put it in her sleeve. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recognizes the jade pendant and knows that he is his jade pendant, I am afraid that he will be upset.
Although Zhao Wanning wanted to hug His Royal Highness the Prince's thigh, it was obviously not a good time. She had no choice but to leave the pawnshop with the silver candle first.
Just as she turned around and left the pawnshop, Zhao Wangjin suddenly stopped her: "Girl, you and I fall in love." Can you take a step to speak? ”
Zhao Wanning secretly slandered herself, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planning to recognize her? In any case, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes the initiative to recognize her, it should be a good start.
So Zhao Wanning nodded: "Naturally." ”
"Girl, please come with me." Zhao Wangjin made a false salute.
Zhao Wanning was not hypocritical, and followed him directly.
There is a liquor store diagonally across the street from the pawnshop, and Zhao Wangjin often goes there.
The wings facing the street on the second floor.
As soon as the two entered the wing, Zhao Wanning took the initiative to salute Zhao Wangjin: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhao Wangjin helped him slightly: "I thought you didn't recognize me, Sister Wanning." ”
Zhao Wanning said slowly: "I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't seem to recognize me, so I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was out on patrol in a small service, and it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, so I didn't greet His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." ”
Zhao Wangjin laughed loudly: "This is not mine." Don't call me His Royal Highness the Crown Prince anymore, I'm your brother. ”
Zhao Wanning was trying to have a good relationship with him, so he hit the snake stick: "Brother Wangjin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhao Wangjin led her to sit down at the Eight Immortals Table in front of the window, and raised his hand to pour her tea: "I haven't seen her for a long time." The last time we saw each other was ......"
Zhao Wangjin suddenly couldn't remember when he saw Zhao Wanning last time.
Zhao Wanning answered thoughtfully: "It's last Chinese New Year's Eve, at the palace banquet." ”
Zhao Wangjin seemed to have some pictures in his mind, and he said with some embarrassment: "That's true." ”
Zhao Wanning smiled slightly: "Brother Wangjin is the prince, and he has to take care of political affairs and solve problems for the saint." Naturally, I can't remember these trifles. ”
Zhao Wangjin shook his head: "It's not that I can't remember trivial things. "I just really can't remember how to get along with you.
The latter sentence seemed a little ambiguous, and Zhao Wangjin naturally did not say it.
The two talked about homely things like cousins they hadn't seen for a long time.
Zhao Wangjin wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Zhao Wanning, after all, Zhao Wanning is the daughter of Zhenbei Hou, if she can win over Zhenbei Hou through her, she will have more help in the future.
Zhao Wanning is thinking about getting closer to Zhao Wangjin, if she is the eldest princess in the future...... She can also leave a life with her relationship with Zhao Wangjin.
Two people with different hearts sat together and had a light meal.
At night, Zhao Wanning dreamed again.
This time she went back to her childhood. When she was young, the eldest princess often took her to the queen mother's palace to play with the princesses and princesses of the same age.
At that time, the eldest princess and the concubine were in love, and the mandarin ducks were neck-to-neck. Zhao Wanning is still just a pearl in the palm of her hand held by the eldest princess and the concubine.
That was Zhao Wanning's grandfather, the former Zhenbei Marquis, who held a lot of power, and the Qi family army under his command was much more than now.
Zhao Wanning was held in the palm of everyone's hands.
At that time, Zhao Wangjin had not yet been crowned the crown prince. He had a brother of the same mother on him. The former crown prince Zhao Wangyu has been smart and unforgettable since he was a child, and he Zhao Wangjin is just a person who lives in the shadow of the prince, so his personality is also a little wooden. The other princes and princesses were afraid of the prestige of the queen and the crown prince, and it was not easy to conflict and dispute with him. The second is that I don't like his character. Therefore, he is always secretly excluded.
Only Zhao Wanning, who is simple-minded and hearty, is willing to play with Zhao Wangjin.
One day in spring.
Children gather to fly kites in the Imperial Garden.
Zhao Wanning's kite was pierced by her grandfather, Zhenbei Hou. It was a beautiful white crane, with a forehead painted with cinnabar, a snow-white body, and ink-colored claws, which looked fairy-like.
Compare other people's butterflies, flowers, and kites.
Zhao Wanning can't fly a kite. Zhenbei Hou taught her hand in hand. The crane rode the wind and soon became the tallest kite among the children.
Zhao Wangjin on the side was greedy.
At that time, the queen's thoughts were all on the former prince. At this time, the prince was listening to a lecture in the imperial study, and the queen mother was afraid that he would be hungry, so she personally cooked chicken soup and sent it to him.
Zhao Wangjin has only one nurse by his side. He also wanted to fly a kite, but the queen mother was worried that he would lose her mind and make it for him, so she didn't prepare it for him.
He could only stand by and watch the other children fly kites.
Later, Zhao Wanning found him and gave him his kite to play.
Zhao Wanning loves sweets, especially lactose. The eldest princess saw that she loved to eat, so she specially invited a cook to cook for her.
The milk was boiled in a hot pot for a long time, and the cook added osmanthus and honey to it, and it tasted full of rich milk and honey, with the fragrance of osmanthus.
Zhao Wanning had a lot of sachets in her carry, and she gave them to Zhao Wangjin.
Later, Zhao Wanning also took Zhao Wangjin to integrate into everyone and play with other princes and princesses.
Later, Zhao Wangjin gave her the Pisces jade pendant.
After Zhao Wanning woke up, she felt a little lost.
When Silver Candle combed her hair, she found that she was depressed, so she asked, "What's wrong with you, county lord?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Zhao Wanning was silent, and then slowly spoke: "I want to eat lactose." ”
Silver Candle: "......"
Zhao Wanning saw the speechless expression of the silver candle from the bronze mirror and said, "What's wrong?" Can't you? When I was a child, I used to love lactose. It's just that I was still young at that time, and I was always restricted from eating more. Now that I'm older, there's no one to control me. Now I want to eat lactose every day, without restrictions. ”
Huaping sneered: "County Lord, why are you still like a child?" ”
Zhao Wanning looked up at her and said, "What's wrong with the child?" I'm a child, and I'm going to eat lactose. ”
"Good, good." The picture screen replied helplessly: "Then the picture screen will try to make you lactose today." ”
Zhao Wanning instantly became happy: "I want to add osmanthus." ”
Because Zhao Wanning wanted to eat osmanthus lactose, the painting screen and silver candle went to pick the osmanthus flowers in the courtyard.
Zhao Wanning was interested, and she also wanted to pick osmanthus by herself.
The low branches under the laurel tree were all picked, and Zhao Wanning ordered his subordinates to bring a ladder to pick the top osmanthus flowers.
The osmanthus tree had grown for many years, and its branches were luxuriant.
She remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival in her previous life.
At that time, Zhao Wanning was at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, and once again had a dispute with the eldest princess because of Zhao Chen'an. She was heartbroken by the eldest princess, but she had nowhere to go, and she didn't want to be seen in her embarrassment, so she took advantage of the moonlight to climb this laurel tree.
Then she couldn't get down. It was Pei Yue who saved her.
Pei Yue told Zhao Wanning to let her jump down, and he would catch her.
Zhao Wanning looked at Pei Yue's serious expression under the moonlight and decided to believe him once.
Zhao Wanning jumped off the osmanthus tree with her eyes closed, and Pei Yue really caught her.
In order to prevent the situation of not being able to get down, Zhao Wanning deliberately moved a ladder.
Zhao Wanning climbed up the ladder to the top.
She carries a bamboo basket for flowers on her arm. The silver candle and the picture screen were not at ease, but they couldn't stop him, so they had to hold on to the ladder below.
The osmanthus flowers on the top are particularly lush because of the abundant sunlight and no one picks them. Clusters of small yellow flowers, exuding an alluring sweet fragrance.
As the osmanthus in front of him was picked, Zhao Wanning leaned forward to hook the osmanthus a little farther away.
Suddenly, her body lost her balance, and she fell backwards.
Zhao Wanning thought that she would fall to the ground hard this time, but she didn't want anyone to rise into the air. Between the calcium carbide sparks, a man in black fell from the sky, grabbed her waist, and held her in the air for two rotations, and finally fell to the ground.
As soon as he landed, the man in black let go of his hand and put down Zhao Wanning: "County Lord, I'm offended." ”
Because of weightlessness, most of the osmanthus flowers in Zhao Wanning's flower basket were scattered.
"My osmanthus!"
"County Lord, are you alright?" Silver Candle hurriedly rushed to her side, up and down to help her check.
Zhao Wanning shook his head: "I'm fine, but my osmanthus is fine." ”
"It's good that people are okay." Celestia's calm voice suddenly came.
Zhao Wanning looked for prestige in surprise: "Sister Wangshu, why are you here?" ”
The eldest princess, dressed in palace clothes, walked into the Invitation Moon Garden: "If I don't come, how will I know that you are like this in the mansion." ”
Zhao Wanning stepped forward to grab her arm and said mischievously: "I want to eat osmanthus lactose and osmanthus cake." That's why I climbed the tree to pick osmanthus. ”
"I know you're so out of character." The eldest princess shook her head helplessly: "If it weren't for my guard's light work today, I am afraid that you would have fallen to the ground and lay on the bed for ten days and half a month." ”
Zhao Wanning hurriedly thanked the eldest princess: "Thank you, princess, for saving my life, the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates." ”
After saying that, she turned her head to the black-clothed man waiting on the side and thanked her: "Thank you young man for helping." ”
