After the Dragon Boat Festival, it entered the middle of summer, and the Forbidden City was completely like a huge furnace in the hot summer, stuffy and hot, Zhu Lan was already lazy, and she didn't want to move when the weather was hot.

At the beginning of July, Yi Quakerge's sister gave birth to a little Gege, because Yikun Palace did not have a lord, Xuan Ye was especially kind to her to put Xiao Gege by his side to raise her.

"Sister Lan, Yinzhen seems to be falling."

Wan Liuha Shushu held the card in his hand, but his head turned to Zhu Lan's bed, and on the edge of the bed was Xiao Yinzhen, who was struggling to crawl. His dark eyes looked at them, and his little hands waved incessantly. Seeing Shu Shu turn his head to deal with him, Yinzhen's hand waved faster.

Zhu Lan sighed, she walked to the bed, Yinzhen's round eyes were bent into crescents, and she stretched out her lotus-like hand to hug her. However, Zhu Lan didn't pick him up immediately, but looked at the little ball in front of him for a long time, and only when Yinzhen looked at her with tears in her eyes did she stretch out her hand compassionately.

"Mom...... Mom...... "Xiao Yinzhen's language system has obviously just been developed, and he speaks inarticulately.

Zhu Lan stiffened slightly, and Gina, who was on the side, widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Yinzhen can speak?" ”

The child in front of him was babbling, he gently put his hands around Zhu Lan's neck, and his soft and hot little chubby face snuggled into Zhu Lan's neck, making a giggle laugh.

Zhu Lan was stunned in place, like a weathered sculpture, and she stood in place in a trance.

In order to please her master, Mama Li has always taught Yinzhen to call Ama and Eniang on weekdays, but Yinzhen has never said a word before this. Zhu Lan will teach Yinzhen to call her mother in private, but because she is avoiding people, the teaching time is obviously not as long as Mama Li, she never thought that the first thing Yinzhen shouted was her mother.

"Sister Lanlan?" Gina asked, a little confused.

"It's nothing, it's just that Yinzhen can speak, and my brain didn't react at once." Zhu Lan relieved herself, she swept the little fat dun in her arms, and returned to the seat just now.

"Is Yinzhen fat again?" Gina pinched Yinzhen's little arm and felt a cloud pinched.

Zhu Lan took the puree from Yao Huang's hand, the apple was mashed, and Yinzhen obediently lay in her arms and ate it bite by bite.

Adding complementary food is the first time Zhu Lan argues with Mama Li, Mama Li stubbornly believes that human milk is better for the health of children, but Zhu Lan knows in her heart that children can gradually add complementary food from six or seven months, so she also took out the posture of the master, and Mama Li gave up when she saw that she was so insistent. Later, Yinzhen's body became healthier and healthier after adding complementary food, and some minor illnesses that would have disappeared all of a sudden, and Mama Li didn't say anything more.

"I asked the doctor before, and they all said that the flesh on the child's body did not grow, and it was okay to be fat."

Zhu Lan answered Gina's doubts while putting Yinzhen in Mama Li's hand. Poria brought up a bowl of grape crisp, a cool air came out of the bowl, and the sweetness and sourness of the grapes accompanied by the coolness of the smoothie cooled down the three people who were playing cards.

"I heard that the emperor will go to Rehe to escape the summer in a few days, I don't know if we have this opportunity to go out and hide." Gina slumped on the seat after eating two bites of Sushan, and her original regular flag costume was pulled loosely by her, and she didn't look like a serious person.

"I don't think I have that chance." Shu Shu shook her head, she was no different from an invisible person in front of the emperor, and this kind of good thing of going out to escape the summer must not be her turn.

Zhu Lan remembered that Xuan Ye said that he would take her out of the palace before, and her originally calm heart couldn't help but ripple.

She has been in the Forbidden City for a long time, it is really a little depressing, if only Xuan Ye remembered his previous promise to take her out of the palace.

Obviously, although Xuan Ye is busy with affairs, he is indeed a trustworthy emperor and has not forgotten what he promised Zhu Lan before. So a few days later, the news that the emperor was going to Rehe spread in the palace, and the concubines accompanying him were also confirmed.

The concubines that Xuan Ye brought when he went out this time were all more favored recently, except for Gina, who was brought with the light of the Queen Mother, the rest were either concubines with children or favored Gege.

Zhu Lan is among them.

She wanted to go out when she hadn't gone out before, but when she actually left the Forbidden City, it felt a little unreal.

Rehe, that is, Chengde in later generations, is more than three hours away from the capital in modern times, but when it was placed in the Qing Dynasty, they stayed on the road for two or three days. The carriage was often bumpy, and some of the concubines who had never been far away couldn't help but retch. In order to prevent this from happening, Zhu Lan almost fell asleep every time she got into the carriage.

The place where Zhu Lan lives is called "Moonlight Jiangsheng", it is an exquisite courtyard house, on an island in the lake, quiet and cool, except that it is a little far away from Xuanye's dormitory, there is nothing bad about it. It's just that she had just settled down on her own territory when she welcomed an uninvited guest.

Xuan Ye came to Zhulan's residence by boating on the lake, and the scenery here seemed to him to be the best place in the entire Rehe Summer Resort, far away, but it just happened to fit the quiet and supple temperament of Wu Ya's family. Besides, seeing beauties on a boat is also a novel experience for him.

It was already night when he arrived at the moonlight Jiangsheng, Zhu Lan was in the courtyard at this time, she was sitting on a recliner, her eyes slightly closed, feeling the cool breeze of the summer night, the palace maids around her were all ordered by her to go down to do all kinds of things, and for a while, she was the only one in the courtyard at first glance, so she didn't even react when Xuan Ye came to her.

Suddenly, a warm breath appeared on her face, and a dragonfly kiss landed on her lips.

Zhu Lan opened her eyes, and she was met by Xuan Ye's smiling phoenix eyes.

"What about the palace ladies around you? So dereliction of duty and leaving you here alone? ”

Zhu Lan said: "I want to stay alone in the courtyard for a while, and then let them go down." ”

Xuan Ye looked at her carefully through the moonlight, and saw that she was wearing a moon-white satin embroidered magnolia butterfly pattern robe tonight, and under the bright moonlight, she looked like the Moon Palace Immortal, as if she was about to become an immortal.

"Did Your Majesty come by boat, too?" Zhu Lan looked behind him curiously, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

When Zhu Lan came here, it was the little eunuch's rowing boat, and she didn't experience the joy of rowing at all except for the occasional swaying when she sat in it, so she was depressed for a long time.

"Would Maru want to try it too?" Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows, the thoughts of the woman in front of him were clearly revealed at this time, and he secretly laughed in his heart.

is still innocent.

"Is that okay?" Zhu Lan couldn't help but ask.

"Absolutely." Xuan Ye couldn't help but smile, took Zhu Lan's hand and slowly walked to the lake.

There was a small boat parked on the edge of the lake, Xuan Ye waved away the palace maid and eunuch on the side, turned to Zhu Lan and said, "It's not interesting to take a boat trip to the lake on a summer night. ”

Looking at Xuan Ye's appearance, he wants to row a boat by himself. Zhu Lan glanced at the oars in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little worried, what if the boat capsized?

It's just that at this point, emotion finally prevails over reason. Zhu Lan put her hand on Xuan Ye's hand and slowly stepped into the boat.

On the surface of the lake were blooming Han Lian, the water waves gradually rippled as they went, and the breeze swept across the cheeks of the two, Xuan Ye felt the relaxation and tranquility that had not been seen for a long time at this moment. He simply lowered the oars in his hand and let the boat drift freely in the lake.

Zhu Lan's originally restrained mood gradually disappeared without a trace in the swaying boat, and she leaned on the side of the boat and reached for the lotus flowers on the side. The water droplets jumped onto her hand and shattered into one by one, and she took off a large lotus leaf.

Xuan Ye didn't notice her actions at first, until Zhu Lan relaxed and lay in his arms.

The huge lotus leaf covered her face.

"What are you doing here?" Xuan Ye uncovered the light blue lotus leaf with some tears and laughter, and was slightly stunned.

Under the lotus leaf is a pair of dazzling eyes, her eyes are slightly curved, and the sky full of stars seems to be reflected in her eyes.

When drunk, I don't know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

Xuan Ye looked at the girl lying on his lap in a daze, she seemed to be truly relaxed at this moment, a snow-white arm stretched out from the loose big sleeve, and handed a blooming lotus flower to Xuan Ye,

The red fern is full of flowers, but it can't hide the charm of the girl's eyebrows.

It was a freedom that Xuan Ye had never seen before, and at this moment he seemed to touch the girl in front of him for the first time, but only for a moment.

Because Zhu Lan had already sat up, all that was left for Xuan Ye was the scattered black hair. Her behavior tonight was very unruly, but Xuan Ye's heart moved slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go back." Zhu Lan yawned, she turned her head to look at Xuan Ye, only to find that he was in a daze.

Zhu Lan blinked, and pulled up Xuan Ye's sleeve and shook it.

"Go back, it's time to go back." Xuan Ye's originally somewhat dazed expression finally returned to normal at this time, he glanced at Zhu Lan with some complicated eyes, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

The happy time of boating on the lake is always short-lived, and when the boat returns to the moonlight river, Zhu Lan will inevitably be a little stunned, and I don't know if there will be such an opportunity next time. But one of the things that made her happier was that after leaving the boxy palace in the Forbidden City, Zhu Lan finally felt the taste of freedom again.

The lights of the moonlit river went out very late that night.

Zhu Lan was tossed and sore, and she rolled into Xuan Ye's arm half asleep and half awake.

If she was still awake, she would have seen a pair of eyes full of complicated expressions, looking at her all the time.

Xuan Ye didn't sleep well all night, as soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think of was the pair of eyes he saw when he took the lotus leaves, as bright as a galaxy.
