your Highness

Rong Changan led us to the inn where we had already been booked out.

I saw Rong Chang'an's innocent and deceitful appearance, so I couldn't help but stay: "Come here, and accompany me to stroll around the backyard."

He seemed to be hesitating, but he didn't dare to shirk. He walked half a step behind me, parallel to the innkeeper, and stretched out his hand to greet me.

According to Rong Changan, this road is interesting. The winding corridors twist and turn. Behind the dark willows and flowers, there is a pond with a few water lilies blooming in it.

It's not interesting at all, but what's interesting is that there are a few plants in my yard, which were brought back from the south by Kerquan's elder brother when I was young.

"This water lily is very beautiful." I approached and looked at it carefully: "I remind you of the days in the palace."

"This Yanyao water lily is said to be a rare item only found in the south, Mr. Rong Lang specially entrusted someone from the south to find it through hard work a few days ago."

A few days ago, Rong Chang'an knew that Daxu's princess was coming to Pingzhou.I looked back at the glib boss, and heard Rong Chang'an say: "Don't dare."

Father Huang once said that although scholars have enough brains, most of them are honest people.

Honest man.I smiled and motioned to Nian Nian who was behind me, and walked forward on my own.

After Niannian separated from the boss, there was silence between Rong Changan and me.

He didn't speak, and I didn't speak either. I looked at the pond and thought about my food.I don't know what's going on with her now, where she is, what she's doing, but she's still fine.

"Your Highness met on the night of the two-year annual banquet in Kaiping." Rong Chang'an said shyly, "Your Highness probably doesn't remember. At that time, your Highness was only 13 years old. I was lucky enough to see His Highness's Yanyao Water Lily. I remember it until now."

This is a bit out of line, I am not very happy: "Really?"

Unexpectedly, Rong Chang'an seemed to be encouraged to start talking: "Yes! His Highness left the New Year's banquet halfway that night, and asked someone to put the water lily in the pavilion and bring the daughter of Lin Shangshu's family. By the way, Dr. Du The girl is there too."

I remembered.

As I said, I treasure those water lilies very much, and I don’t let others see them, except for eating them.That night, I specially asked Niannian to carry the water lily into the pavilion, and took a look at it. Rongrong, as my newly appointed companion, was taken away by my father under the pretext of winning people's hearts.

However, what impresses me most is that a foolish boy also went there that night, coveting my water lily, with evil intentions.

At that time, I was looking at the hand he was about to reach out, and I tripped him down the steps.

That idiot didn't know how to cry either, he just sat on the ground and kept his mouth shut.

Rong Rong has been kind since she was a child, and hurried to help him up and pat the dirt.He helped him even when he was eating, so I could only reluctantly step forward and coax him with the lychee in my hand.He took away the lychees, and Nian Nian broke another one into my hand.At this moment, I saw that the flowers on the chest of his clothes were unthreaded, so I grabbed the end of the thread and pulled it hard.

I've seen nuns who sew clothes do it this way, and then just tear it off.That idiot just stood and watched us pull, but his thread yanked the flower away, and he was still taking it off.

I was stunned and asked Niannian to drag it with me, and finally called everyone and dragged it for a long time.

Still a nanny came and stopped us just in time.

I didn't know until later that it was flat embroidery, and it couldn't be pulled if the thread was off.

For this matter, my father laughed at me for half a year.

"Although it's not the season for flowering, Xiaguan felt that it was really beautiful at the time, and he dared to reach out to touch it, but accidentally dropped it." Rong Changan smiled shyly, "Later——"

I hastily stopped him: "So it's you!"

"Yes." He nodded, "It's an officer."

I was thinking about what he meant by mentioning this, and I saw him carefully take out something from his pocket, opened it, and there was a piece of silk inside.

Chan Chan took it and handed it to me, Rong Chang'an said: "This is what His Highness left behind that day."

I think the material of the handkerchief is good, and it is well preserved, but the color is the old style that was fashionable a few years ago: "But I have never used this kind of handkerchief, don't forget it."

"It can't be wrong!" Rong Chang'an said excitedly: "The official once asked Mammy, and Mammy said it was His Highness."

This is a bit difficult to handle. For one thing, I have never used embroidered silk handkerchiefs, because I was embroidered once and scratched my face. After that, my handkerchiefs will never be embroidered, except for occasionally asking Rongrong to draw a flower with a pen. bird.

I turned my mind around and told Chansong to keep it: "Perhaps I forgot about it."

Rong Chang'an smiled, and I folded the wicker and waved it leisurely: "I remember you talking about what happened to Pingzhou today?"

Rong Changan bowed his head and said, "Yes."

"The state is owed to Li Wei, and the virtues are shallow?" I stood still: "I would like to know why Pingzhou is now committing such a crime of murdering one's body and exterminating the family?"

Rong Chang'an raised his head and glanced at me, then lifted his robe and knelt down: "I have never disobeyed a minister, this time I am only ordered to escort His Highness back to Beijing."

escort?Back to Beijing?I threw the willow stick and squatted down, level with it: "What do you mean? You want to say that King Jiang An and Pingzhou did not rebel?"

"No." Rong Chang'an said, "It's indeed the opposite."

"That's—then how do you say you're going to escort Ben Gong, and you even found out that Ben Gong is coming to Pingzhou a few days ago?"

"This matter... His Highness will naturally know about it when he arrives in Kyoto."

It's another trip to the capital—"You should have met Princess Kerquan, who is kind and loving in Daxu. She was also there at the second year of Kaiping's annual banquet."

Rong Changan seemed to think about it carefully, shook his head and said: "Xu is here, I don't remember clearly."

I grabbed the leaves on the willow sticks and pondered: "You just talked about the capital, so I naturally know about it. Why did you have to go to the capital?"

Rong Changan waited for me to pull the bald wicker, and asked: "Have you ever heard of Yang Hu, Your Highness?"

don't know.I watched Niannian approaching, followed by the housekeeper, so I threw the willow sticks and stood up straight: "Get up."

Nian Nian approached and said: "Dinner is ready, Your Highness, please move."

Rong Chang'an resigned after hearing the words: "His Royal Highness would like to have a rest. Tomorrow, I will be escorted by an official to escort His Highness back to Beijing."

"Tomorrow?" Chi Chi and Lian Qin and Han Chenghao are still missing, so where can I go tomorrow?

Rong Chang'an looked suspicious: "Isn't Your Highness in a hurry to return to Beijing?"

I was in a hurry, but now: "It's not that urgent."

Rong Chang'an said: "His Royal Highness, if you let the people of King Jiang An know that you are in Pingzhou, then neither I nor you will be able to leave."

"You and King Jiang An are not of the same mind?" I thought of another thing: "How long can I stay in Pingzhou?"

Rong Changan seemed very embarrassed: "This day is an adventure, there can be no more, and we must leave tomorrow. I hope His Highness will forgive me."

How can this be good?

I waited for Rong Changan to leave, turned around and walked a few steps before stopping, waved and asked Niannian: "How did Rong Changan get here?"

Nian Nian thumped to her knees, shaking her head in confusion.

I squinted at her: "Where's Han Chenghao?"

"The guard Han said he was going to sell firewood, so he could buy some food with the money." She knelt down and said, "Your Highness, this servant is telling the truth."

After all, she has been with me since I was a child. She will never do anything harmful to me. Even if she kept some things from the past, she would not lie.I thought about it and said, "Get up, call Rongrong over later."

I roughly had dinner, thinking about what Rong Changan said, and when Rongrong arrived, I asked Chanting to take out a silk handkerchief and said, "See if you recognize this one."

Rong Rongzai looked carefully, and I told Rong Changan about this person, and asked her: "Do you have any thoughts?"

Rongrong pursed her lips: "Your Highness, this handkerchief is mine."

I got up and approached, she pointed to the embroidery on the top and said: "I was a beginner at the time, and I embroidered a square handkerchief by myself for fun. This was used at the banquet in the second year of Kaiping, I remember, because of this stitch I am used to making mistakes, and my mother has taught me several times, but I have not corrected it."

I can't see what kind of needle method: "But even if he admits his mistake, the mother will also admit it?"

Rongrong shook her head, not knowing: "Maybe there are other reasons. Your Highness asked me to come here for this reason?"

"Not only that." I wanted to make the beauty trick calm down with Rong Chang'an's routine, and there was another thing: "Rong Chang'an said that he is at odds with King Jiang An, and he will escort me back to Beijing tomorrow."

"But Yaoyu, young general Lian, and guard Han are all missing. Are you worried about your Highness?"

I nodded: "Rongrong still knows me."

Rongrong said: "Your Highness don't need to worry too much about this, I left clues in that hut when I came here."

"You won't be discovered by Rong Changan, will you?"

"No." Rongrong shook her head, smiling a bit wickedly: "It's a code word that I figured out when I was playing with Yaoyu when I was young. I tried it for fun, but unexpectedly it came in handy at this moment."

Secret words... I tried to roll my eyes and looked at her coldly: "I see."

Seeing Rongrong playing with the silk handkerchief, I suddenly got excited: "How about I tell Rong Chang'an the truth about this handkerchief?"

Rongrong was taken aback, and I earnestly and kindly said: "This may not be Rongrong's marriage. I see him with elegant appearance, gentle speech, and a handkerchief that I have missed so far. He is also a deeply affectionate..."

Rong Rong immediately smiled: "His Highness's plan, Rong Rong roughly understands. Let me try him tomorrow."

Ah: "My dear Rong Rong, you are smart and clever."

Rongrong pretended to greet An and said, "Your Highness is absurd."

Smart people who love to read are empathetic, which is good and bad.
