Huaiyu is slightly cool

In Yunlanxuan in Weiyang Palace, everyone was happily drinking and drinking, laughing and laughing, and it was very lively.Zhou Huai was neglected in the corner. Because she had something on her mind and didn't know anything, she became a little bored in the noisy atmosphere, and sneaked out with a plate of fruit when everyone was not paying attention.

Zhou Huai avoided people on purpose, but didn't want to go back to his residence, so he found a higher place among the rockery beside the road, climbed up to lie lazily and bask in the sun.

When she seemed to be sleeping but was not sleeping, she heard noises from under the rockery, and heard a few words in a daze, saying "Kefu Kexiong" and "Sick Younger", with a lot of ridicule mixed in between.Zhou Huai rubbed his eyes and heard the voices of a group of children, so he sat up and looked down, and sure enough, he saw six children who were less than ten years old making a fuss next to a rockery below.To be precise, five of the boys were pointing around a little girl in a goose yellow skirt.They blocked the way in front of and behind the girl, pointed at each other and laughed loudly, with endless malice in that laughter.And the little girl who was surrounded had a pale face, lowered her head and leaned against the side of the rockery without saying a word, squatting and huddled there, motionless.

Zhou Huai sat on the top of the rockery and looked down from the top, and he had a clear view of everything below.She saw that besides the six children here, there was a girl in her teens hiding beside another rockery, and she was looking at the little girl in yellow huddled up in a ball and trembling with pride, having fun.

Zhou Huai didn't want to meddle in this business, so he yawned, stared at the bullied child across the way, and was about to go back to sleep, but unexpectedly, the little girl in yellow looked up at her position.The two looked at each other, and the next moment the little girl looked away, pursed her lips and lowered her head again.

Zhou Huai froze for a moment, recalling the expression of the little girl biting her lips and crying with tears in her eyes just now, and then looked at the posture of the children below who were not ready to leave, so she turned around and searched for small stones on the top of the mountain, but The rockery is smooth and there is no gravel at all.Zhou Huai glanced around, and saw the fruit plate beside him. He grabbed the plums, peaches and other fruits in it and threw them at the children. The five boys were scared away.

Zhou Huai saw that another girl who was hiding from her snickering also ran away, and then slowly climbed down the rockery and walked to the little girl in yellow.Seeing the other party lowering his head slightly, covering his forehead with his hand, sitting there curled up without any movement.Then he asked, "Why don't you get up? What's wrong with your forehead? Did those brats attack you?"

After standing up, the little girl still lowered her head, covered her forehead and shook her head gently, and said softly, "I just got hit by a fruit, and I feel a little dizzy."

"Oh, then I'll call someone for you." Zhou Huai said flatly, then turned around and left.The little girl in yellow froze for a moment, looked up to see that Zhou Huai had really left, and followed her without saying a word.

"Why are you following me?" Zhou Huai looked back at the girl who was half a head taller than her, but was as cowardly as a weak willow, frowning and speaking impatiently.

The girl put down her hand covering her forehead, looked at Zhou Huai, tried her best to look strong and said calmly, "You don't need to call someone, I'm fine."

Zhou Huai looked at the wound on her forehead, it was a little bruised, and it really wasn't something serious, so she stopped, folded her arms around her chest and said lazily, "It's okay, then go back to your respective homes."

"Wait, thank you just now." The girl in yellow finished speaking seriously, and took out a shiny yellow longevity lock the size of half her palm from her collar, trying to stuff it for Zhou Huai, and at the same time squeezed it out. Mo smiled and said, "This is for you, thank you for helping me just now, can you tell me your name?"

"No thanks." Zhou Huai glanced at her hand, but did not pick up the longevity lock. After speaking, he turned and continued to walk outside the courtyard, saying as he walked, "My name is Zhou Huai. What about you?"

"Ming Sheng."

"Wu Mingsheng? The widowed daughter of Prince Jing?" Zhou Huai stopped in his tracks, turned sideways and asked repeatedly.

The little girl in yellow looked at Zhou Huai with surprise and a bit of loneliness, then nodded slowly.

Zhou Huai, on the other hand, walked around Wu Mingsheng in surprise, and then turned his head to look at Wu Mingsheng, his eyes were flickering, and if he looked carefully, he could see a faint light of calculation, but what Zhou Huai wanted to calculate was not. Not Wu Mingsheng in front of her, but her biological mother——Shen Hui who disguised herself as a man and became one of Jing Guo's twin heroes.

Wu Mingsheng's father, Prince Jing Wu Yunzhen, is the youngest son of the old empress Wu Bowen, a well-known virtuous king in Jingguo, and Shen Hui, who has done his best, are called "Jingguo Twin Heroes".Eight years ago, Wu Yunzhen, because of the sudden death of his daughter, couldn't bear the blow of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man. He vomited blood and died of grief. He was just 40 years old when he died.But Wu Mingsheng, the master of Jinsheng County, is a posthumous child, and his biological mother is unknown. Although he was adopted by Prince Jing's widow, Princess Fang, he is not loved.However, Zhou Huai knew exactly who Wu Mingsheng's biological mother was, because she was recuperating in the monastery of the old matriarch of the Zhou Mansion in Yunzhou. Shen regret.

Zhou Huai stroked his chin and asked Wu Mingsheng: "Since you are the princess, why did they dare to bully you? And why didn't they see you at the table just now?"

"Why isn't the princess being bullied? Isn't the unfavored prince and princess in the palace also being bullied?" Wu Mingsheng said, but his voice gradually became quieter.She felt a little nervous when Zhou Huai looked at her, but she still answered all Zhou Huai's questions cautiously: "I'm not very talented, so I didn't go to the banquet over there to join in the fun."

Zhou Huai laughed dryly and suddenly remembered.In terms of seniority, Wu Mingsheng is the aunt of the eldest princess Wu Liangyue, so she should be sitting at Queen Wei's banquet, so he asked her: "Then why are you here?"

Wu Mingsheng was about to answer, but suddenly covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his face was paler than before, but there was an abnormal blush on his cheeks.Zhou Huai squinted his eyes, looked at Wu Mingsheng's thin body and paper-pale face, thought for a while, then went over to support him and asked, "How long have you been sick?"

Wu Mingsheng coughed a few more times before he stopped. He was a little out of breath and couldn't stand upright, so he leaned slightly against Zhou Huai and said, "I've been taking medicine for as long as I can remember, but it hasn't been all right. Always cough for a while."

"So it's Sister Lin!" Zhou Huai whispered to himself.

"What?" Wu Mingsheng didn't hear clearly, so he asked her.

"Oh, it's nothing." Zhou Huai replied casually. He wanted to help her to rest aside, but seeing that the place was remote and few people passed by, he said, "I'll take you back to the banquet over there. Take care."

"I don't want to go there." After Wu Mingsheng finished speaking, he stopped and asked Zhou Huai, "Where do you live in the palace?"

Zhou Huai had a bad heart, but seeing the other party looking at him eagerly, he had no choice but to say: "Yongle Palace, live with the eldest princess, do you want to go and have a look?"

"Okay." Wu Mingsheng's tone was obviously raised, with a bit of lightness.Zhou Huai twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

They have already left Weiyang Palace.Everyone in Yunlanxuan was remembering who was sitting at the only empty table in the corner, yelling that they must pour a jug of wine after holding it.Someone asked Shen Wensheng at the table next to Zhou Huai.

Shen Wensheng, the grandson of the Shen family, has a shy personality. He saw Zhou Huai when he was sneaking out just now, but he didn't dare to speak out after being stared at by Zhou Huai.At this time, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It seems...it seems like a little girl."

"Then?"

"Very fierce."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused roars of laughter.Some took the opportunity to joke, and scolded Shen Wensheng with a smile, saying that it was as if he hadn't said it.

There was a lot of noise at the banquet, and Zhang Ye in red, biting the fruit, took a look at the empty seat, patted his forehead, and hurriedly stopped the crowd and said, "I remember, there was a four or five-year-old child sitting there, wearing a green skirt. , there seems to be a slap mark on her face. Just now when we gave orders, she just ate there as if no one else was there, with a small face wrinkled, as if she was swallowing medicine." After finishing speaking, she felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing, Covering his mouth, he shrank behind Wei Xuan.

Everyone looked at each other, wondering when there was such a weird child in the capital, why hadn't they heard of it before, they were asking each other what the child was and where it came from.I heard a group of children running not far away, covering their heads or faces and clamoring for the servant girls to go to the doctor, and there were many noises crying for their parents and mothers.

The eldest princess has kept silent since everyone mentioned Zhou Huai, but when she heard the crying outside, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly called the maid over to ask what happened.

As a result, those children who were beaten ran away without seeing where they were at all, and now they have sent people to search for them, but there is no trace.As for asking where they were going and why, they only said that they were passing by, and they couldn't ask anything. In the end, they only reprimanded those dereliction of duty servants who didn't protect their master, but the banquet ended in a hurry, but there were still people. A lot of sensible people guessed who was beating people on the other side of the rockery, but they were all watching each other, refusing to come forward first.

Outside in the starry night, the Eldest Princess has finished washing, wearing white obscene clothes, lying on the bed of the beauty, and let the two maids help her dry her wet hair. Report the matter in the courtyard.Only Ruixiang's voice could be heard in the room, and she reported to her all the big and small things in the courtyard in a clear and orderly manner. The eldest princess was drowsy at first, but then she suddenly opened her eyes and asked: "Is she Did you two really stay together all afternoon? Didn't cause any more trouble? Didn't you bully Jinsheng?" The eldest princess said in disbelief, "Tell me in detail."

"Miss Zhou took the princess to the small kitchen in the courtyard to cook, and then took the food to eat in her own room. After the banquet at the empress's place, Miss Zhou sent the princess to the gate of the palace and handed it over to Prince Jing's mansion. The steward just came back and hasn’t been out of the house since then.”

The eldest princess thought for a while, then got up, put on some clothes, and went to Zhou Huai's room next door.

"Why didn't I see you at the banquet during the day?" The eldest princess drank a lot of fruit wine, leaned close to Zhou Huai while speaking, and watched Zhou Huai who was sitting cross-legged by the candlestick quickly close the wooden box she saw during the day , her eyes seemed to have a blazing light in the candlelight and asked Zhou Huai: "What's in it?"

Zhou Huai looked at the blueprints for an hour or two and made him dizzy. Now, seeing the flushed face of the eldest princess, and smelling the unknown fragrance from the other party after bathing, he felt drowsy. Heavy, and a little weak in the body.But seeing that the Eldest Princess was still in high spirits, it seemed that she came here intentionally to chat with her, so she had to pull herself together, but she moved her body to the side.

"Are you afraid of Bengong?" The princess looked at Zhou Huai's movements and smiled, but moved closer.

Zhou Huai felt that the tip of the eldest princess's nose was almost touching his face, and the hot air exhaled by the other party was directly sucked into his nose, so he tilted his head back in discomfort.But the eldest princess was not reluctant and continued to stick to her face.Zhou Huai stretched out her hand impatiently and pushed. She just wanted to push the opponent away, but she didn't use much force, but the position of her hand was a bit wrong.

Just hearing the sound of 'pa', the eldest princess reflexively slapped Zhou Huai, and then both of them were stunned at the same time.

It took Zhou Huai a long time before he touched his face in a daze, and asked, "At your current age, where can only be regarded as a chest?"

The eldest princess withdrew her hand, looked at the palm prints on one side of the other's face, the five finger marks were very eye-catching on the fair little face, and said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't realize it for a while."

"I think you react very quickly." Zhou Huai rolled his eyes, rubbed the wound on his face, hissed in pain, and asked the eldest princess who was standing there stupidly: "You come to me!" What exactly is this trying to do?"

"Actually, it's fine. You should rest early." The eldest princess left after speaking, simply and neatly.

"Hey, don't go, you apply the medicine for me first." Before Zhou Huai finished speaking, the figure of the other party had disappeared outside the door.Zhou Huai let go of his hands in a daze, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "What kind of hatred?!"
