Chapter 108 Encounter
Shaohua walked all the way along the Qing Canal to the bridge tower, and then quickly returned to the flower hall of Xuantang through the bridge tower. Xin Zixuan also asked curiously why she didn't come back with Jiuyin.
As soon as he mentioned Jiuyin, Shaohua was very angry, but because of the face of the third princess, he had to say that he had dispersed with Jiuyin in the yard and had to come back by himself. The third princess looked at Shaohua thoughtfully and said that she had to call Jiuyin to punish her well, but she actually lost the guest. Xin Zixuan naturally made a kind offer, and Shaohua also felt that although Jiuyin was at fault, she was not the culprit. After all, she is also involuntarily. In this palace, in addition to the prince and princess, the next master is the son of the world.
Even if the son is wrong, he will let Jiuyin come out to stand up in the end. Thinking about this, Shaohua will no longer blame Jiuyin. Instead, he felt that even Jiuyin was an excuse specially found by Hongfang. She said that she was asked to mention something, but in the end, she didn't hear Jiuyin play the pipa, but instead she came to sing a song.
Xin Zixuan saw that Shaohua was absent-minded, so she got up and said goodbye to the third princess. The third princess kept a few words and politely asked them to send them out of the house.
Finally, she also said to Shaohua, "If you like the garden here, you can come often when you are free." Shaohua stiffened his scalp, nodded with a smile, and then couldn't wait to leave the palace.
If it hadn't just come out, Shaohua's impression of the Three Kings Mansion is still good, elegant and beautiful. Here, it is obviously much more free than in the Li family. Relatively speaking, in the Li family, Xiyuan and Biwuxuan can go around. As for Xin Zixuan's yard, if she goes too much, she will inevitably be nagging by the Ling family. Suddenly, she expects Zhou Yan to get married quickly. At least she can visit the garden when she has nothing to do.
As soon as she got on the car, Hongling finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to tell Xin Zixuan how she had just felt in the royal palace. Young lady, I didn't expect that the rules of the royal palace were so big. Those maids stood like sculptures, motionless and walking without sound. When I was served tea, it suddenly appeared and almost scared me. Hongling also imitated the posture of the royal maid on tea and brought the tea cup to Xin Zixuan again, which amused Xin Zixuan in an awkward posture.
"It's good that you know that you don't have rules. Don't learn well when you go back." Xin Zixuan is quite generous to Hongling. Although she is not as knowledgeable as other maids in the house, she is more loyal and honest than her.
She regretted that she had put all the maids out and didn't keep one by her side, which made Liu empty. Now she would rather have multiple hearts and wait for her to raise her confidants before letting Hongling go out. Thinking so, Xin Zixuan became more and more gentle to Hongling. Hongling somehow felt that the better the master was to her, the more conscientious she was.
"What happened to you just now? Why did you get separated from Jiu Niangzi?" Xin Zixuan was a little worried when she saw Shaohua's haunted appearance.
Shaohua shook his head and opened his mouth. Suddenly, the carriage suddenly stopped and there was noise outside the car.
Xin Zixuan frowned. This is the back door of the royal palace, which is adjacent to the mansions of the royal and grandson nobles. No one should dare to make trouble. So, he motioned Hongling to go out to find out the situation. After a while, Hongling came back and met the carriage next door. Because the carriage opposite was bigger than their carriage, I wanted to withdraw and let them go out first, but I didn't pay attention to hitting people on the road, so I quarreled. Xin Zixuan listened and felt that it had nothing to do with them and it was difficult to come forward, so she asked Hongling to come back and wait until the things outside were dealt with before going out.
"Have you quarreled enough, and don't look where it is!" With an angry shout, I only heard a few complaints, and then the voice decreased and seemed to disperse.
Shaohua was a little curious about who had such courage. After fighting for a long time, there was no result, and he was stopped by his words. Therefore, he raised the curtain and didn't wait for Xin Zixuan to stop him. He had already poked his head out and just opposite Yan Kaizhi's four eyes.
Yan Kaizhi was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to see Shaohua here. He looked up at the direction of their coming out and suddenly understood.
"Yan Kaizhi!" Shaohua couldn't help shouting when he turned around and was about to leave. Then he returned to the carriage and begged Xin Zixuan, "Sister-in-law, I want to go out for a while."
Hearing Shaohua's call, Xin Zixuan knew that the person outside wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she only said, "Go back quickly and don't delay."
Shaohua rushed over excitedly, hugged Xin Zixuan, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.
Xin Zixuan shook her head helplessly and said to Hongling, "Go down and watch. If someone passes by, bring the Fifth Lady back." Hongling nodded and got out of the car.
"Why are you here?" Shaohua jumped out of the carriage, ran a little quickly, and almost fell down. Yan Kaizhi gasped. He hurriedly took two steps to stretch out his hand, but saw her stand firmly and hurriedly withdrew her hand when she was not paying attention.
"Your feet are fine." This sentence is obviously not a question.
The footsteps that had turned around and left couldn't help stopping after hearing Shaohua's call. After waiting for a while, an elf-like figure came out of the carriage and stumbled over. Before he stood still, he had already smiled brightly at him. As if infected by her smile, Yan Kaizhi raised the corners of his mouth gently and his eyes fell on her ankle.
"It's okay, I'm not disabled yet." Shaohua twisted his ankle and motioned to show him.
Yan Kaizhi still had a smile on his face. As soon as he heard her say that she was disabled, he suddenly remembered the thrilling scene of that day and couldn't help sinking his face. As the wife of a family, didn't the house teach you how to act like a lady? If you are disabled, it will be too late for you to cry.
Shaohua was a little aggrieved and flattened his mouth. It was rare to see him. He was happy in his heart, and even the gloom that had just been brought out of the royal palace was swept away. However, Yan Kaizhi was a little unconvinced when he opened his mouth to scold her, but on the other hand, in fact, he was also caring about her, that's why he said so.
Suddenly, Shaohua became happy again and raised a smiling face and said, "It's okay. I'm lucky. My mother said that my life is very hard and others can't hurt me."
Just now, I saw Shaohua's aggrieved look and was about to cry. Yan Kaizhi regretted a little and unconsciously always said harsh words to her. She didn't know what she thought, and her whole body was full of smile. Hearing her nonsense words again, Yan Kaizhi could only cry and laugh.
So, he sighed gently, "It's okay. If you encounter this kind of thing in the future... Bring more people out." I wanted to tell her not to be the first bird. What can a little woman do, but when she thought of encountering this kind of thing in the future, she didn't happen to meet herself. Yan Kaizhi couldn't help but be excited and immediately turned to the end of the words. "If you have nothing to do, go back. There are people coming and going here. Don't let anyone watch you. You have to go back to complain."
Seeing that Yan Kaizhi's voice became gentle, Shaohua was secretly happy and shy, and nodded.
"Yes!" As soon as Shaohua turned around and had not yet stepped out, he suddenly shouted and turned around to see Yan Kaizhi standing still motionless. She blushed and couldn't help being a little embarrassed. "I, I haven't thanked you well, no, my mother said I haven't thanked you."
Hearing Shaohua's stattering words again, Yan Kaizhi couldn't help laughing, "Why did you stag again?" Yan Kaizhi's happy and loud laughter made Shaohua immediately blush. She didn't know why. Once she spoke seriously, she couldn't help stuttering. Yan Kaizhi saw that she was embarrassed and didn't tease her anymore. He just said, "Tay it for me and the second lady. You're welcome. It's your kindness to me first. I should do it."
The look in Shaohua's eyes suddenly faded and muttered, "Is it just like this?"
Yan Kaizhi didn't know whether he didn't hear her words or didn't know how to answer, so he also fell silent.
The two stood opposite each other, but did not say a word, and the atmosphere around them was a little condensed. Yan Kaizhi didn't know where he said something wrong, but he just wondered why the little woman's mood had changed so much. She suddenly raised her eyebrows and exhaled, suddenly she was gloomy and speechless. Suddenly she was happy and depressed again.
Yan Kaizhi thought for a moment and seemed to be a little transparent. He said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, I really can't do anything about your father."
"What?" Shaohua suddenly raised his eyes, and Yan Kaizhi, who fell at the bottom of his eyes, blamed himself. Shaohua suddenly remembered what Hongfang had just said.
It's impossible to say that she doesn't care about Hongfang's words at all, but there is still some hope and some favoritism in her heart. Now, hearing Yan Kaizhi's sincere apology, Shaohua suddenly felt that the expectation in his heart was worth it. As she thought, he must have unspeakable pains.
"Lord Fang is a righteous and upright official. The emperor ordered him to investigate the case, and he also trusted him. However, Lord Fang is a relative of the emperor and his relatives. I really can't help it. Yan Kaizhi told the truth. Fang Youxin once locked up Princess Ninghua's youngest son and beat him on the top ten boards under pressure to vent his anger on the people. As a result, Princess Ninghua had no choice but to sue the emperor.
"I know that my grandfather is also clear. I can only say that the lucky limit is not good and the villain is a criminal." Shaohua shook his head, indicating that there was no intention of blame.
"That's good. I'll also sue Mr. Li for me." Yan Kaizhi felt that he was suddenly relieved for some reason. Suddenly, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Don't you stag?"
Shaohua was stunned, came to his senses, and his face became hot again, "I, I... won't stag." She wanted to explain, but the result became darker and darker. She was in a hurry and defended herself, which made Yan Kaizhi laugh happily.
In the end, Shaohua simply didn't say anything.
Yan Kaizhi laughed away his recently suppressed emotions. Looking at Shaohua's unhappy expression, he smiled gently and said, "It's time for you to go back. I have something else to do. I won't accompany you to make trouble. If it's okay, you can come and talk to Lanzhi. She often mentions you at home.
Shaohua's eyebrows suddenly opened, "Really?" Seeing Yan Kaizhi nodding, she immediately laughed again.
Yan Kaizhi never thought that Shaohua was such a smiling woman. No wonder Lanzhi likes to be with her. And about that list, if you don't want to, just say a word, I will try my best to help you.
Shaohua tilted his head and said, "What list?"
Yan Kaizhi frowned and wondered, "Didn't you come to the palace today for the affairs of the imperial concubine?" Shaohua nodded and Yan Kaizhi said, "Although the reputation of the step-in-house is not very good, the prince is a good person. You can think about it."
The more Shaohua listened, the more confused he became. How did he jump from the imperial concubine to the step-in-house? No matter how good the imperial concubine is, she doesn't want to marry him. Suddenly, the inspiration flashed. Thinking of the strange words of the third princess and Hongfang's joking attitude towards her, Shaohua immediately understood it. For a moment, his anger rushed again.
But without waiting for her to speak, a sound of footsteps seemed to come towards them. Hongling immediately jumped up and pulled Shaohua to the carriage.
