Crossing the East Palace

"It's useless." Qing Huan said with a gentle smile, "Unfortunately, I can no longer play a song for His Highness."

Chang Qu looked at Qing Huan's left hand, which was wrapped in layers of white cloth, and still couldn't believe it: "It's useless? How could it be? Did someone come to make trouble?"

Qing Huan wrapped up the cloth strips, originally she didn't want the prince to come, seeing the ugly appearance of his left hand, and hearing Chang Qu's surprise, she let the boy open the cloth strips and let Chang Qu see his hand.

"Why..." Chang Qu paused, and then said, "Master Qing Huan's hand, why was it scalded like this?"

The hand, which was originally pleasing to the eye, is now particularly ugly due to the scalded scar.Especially the index finger and middle finger of the left hand were slightly deformed as if they had been scalded.

After Chang Qu asked, he felt sorry for Qing Huan in his heart - everyone knew that the crown prince liked Qing Huan's piano sound, but now that Qing Huan's hands have become like this, would the crown prince still value Qing Huan?Will you still treat him like before?

As for these things, Chang Qu can guess, and Qing Huan, who is the person involved, can also guess these things.

Qing Huan only smiled slightly: "It was that day that I suddenly got greedy and wanted to bring a charcoal basin and roast sweet potatoes to eat by myself. As a result... I lost my mind for a while and thought about other things, and ended up..."

Chang Qu secretly regretted: "If you hurt, you will hurt, so Mr. Qing Huan, can you still play the piano?" If you can still play the piano, then it's okay if your hands are ugly.

Qing Huan shook her head and remained silent.

Changqu immediately understood, sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to stop talking about it, but took out the box he brought: "This is a gift from His Royal Highness the Prince. The Prince has been busy since he returned to Chang'an. It's business. The emperor valued the crown prince regarding the locust plague earlier, so he asked the crown prince to help deal with it. In the end, the matter that the crown prince was supposed to marry the two good concubines was delayed. That's why he didn't have time to see Mr. Qing Huan. But although the crown prince did not come, there is a letter from Mr. Qing Huan. Look, this is what the crown prince Tete asked our family to send."

Qing Huan was startled, and then laughed.

Looking at it, Chang Qu felt that Mr. Qing Huan's smile was a genuine one.

"The things have been delivered, and the prince also ordered other things, so I take my leave."

Chang Qu left as soon as he said, Qing Huan asked the servant to catch up with him, and gave him a piece of jade unicorn.

Chang Qu followed the prince, what didn't he see?But when he saw this jade unicorn, he was a little startled.

"This thing is not what we should have. You should return it to Young Master Qing Huan."

The boy was not surprised: "Eunuch Changqu, please keep it, our son has always been generous to others. Except for the things that His Royal Highness rewarded, the young master often gave away things casually. Father-in-law will not accept this time. Next time the son will give it to the father-in-law himself."

Chang Qu accepted it this time, feeling awkward at times, but he didn't think it was too strange.

After Qing Huan put away the box, she put the box on the table.

He hesitated for a long time before opening the box.

If the box contained music scores, what should he do?

While Qing Huan was hesitating, the box opened.

It's a bottle of scalding medicine, and a painting album——the prince's painting album.

The painting is very casual, and there is no seal.It's as if I saw some scenery on weekdays, and when the interest came, I picked up the brush and drew at will.

Qing Huan looked at the scald medicine, and was startled at first; then he laughed when he saw the picture book.

Three years ago, when Tang Luojin left, Qing Huan only saw Xin Guogong's heart for Tang Luojin, but she thought that her heart could learn from the sun and the moon, but even so, she couldn't help but say something , hoping for a view of the border.

He just mentioned it casually at that time, but that sentence was remembered by the prince, and he sent such a picture album over, which painted wonderful or not wonderful scenery in various places on the border throughout the year.

Although it was drawn casually in spare time, to Qing Huan, it is a priceless treasure.

Even though his status is humble, there is still a corner in that person's heart where he can remember his wish. For Qing Huan, this is enough.

As for the burn medicine...

He lives in the Prince's place, and most of the people around him are the Prince's people. It's not surprising that someone would tell this story.

However, since the crown prince knew about his being scalded, what about Qing He?Did the prince know Qing He's bad again?Know what he said to Qing He?

Qing Huan's contented heart suddenly became worried again.

Tang Luojin galloped away.

After leaving the city gate, the running became happier.

So in less than half an hour, he arrived at the foot of the Jiang family cemetery.

Jiang Hanbing was waiting for him there.

And waited angrily.

Tang Luojin was about to ask him what's the matter, when he saw a group of maidservants standing side by side, and suddenly moved away, revealing a thinly veiled girl in a light yellow dress behind her.

The girl bowed her head slightly, bowed her knees, but did not speak.

Tang Luojin was startled.

He couldn't help but lift his foot, as if he wanted to take a half step forward.But in the end the foot came back.

After a while, he also came back to his senses.

This person is not Jiang Hanyi.

It was Jiang Hanyi's concubine sister, the concubine the Jiang family wanted to send to the East Palace, Jiang Hanyin.

Tang Luojin looked at Jiang Hanyin's bowed head, she was indeed very similar to Jiang Hanyi.But it's just like it.

She is not her.

Tang Luojin stopped looking at her, but looked at Jiang Hanbing: "Let's go."

Jiang Hanbing probably saw that Tang Luojin did not admit the wrong person, and his face improved a little - of course, when Tang Luojin was about to arrive, his face was much better than before when he was furious.

Today the prince is coming to worship his sister, Jiang Hanbing knows, and the Jiang family also knows.This is a good thing.The Jiang family didn't want to show up because of their status as elders, but they also sent Jiang Hanbing, who had the best relationship with Tang Luojin in the family, to come out and accompany Tang Luojin to pay respects to Jiang Hanyi.

It's just... what happened to Jiang Hanyin?

Jiang Hanyin's face was not covered with a veil at first, but when Jiang Hanbing saw Jiang Hanyin's attire, and the faint Leng Meixiang on her body, when she guessed Jiang Hanyin's plan, she became furious and hit her hard a slap.

——It's not wrong for the son to teach the concubine daughter a lesson.

No matter what Jiang Hanyin thought in her heart, after wearing the veil, she still refused to leave.He even kept saying that this was agreed by the family members.

——No matter how many reasonable reasons the prince has, he refuses to welcome her in for the time being.But for the Jiang family, even if this marriage is not settled, they will never feel at ease for a day.That's why Jiang Hanyin came over, and even turned a blind eye to the fragrance on Jiang Hanyin's body.

However, whether it is the eldest princess or Jiang's father, they only intend to let Jiang Hanyin meet the prince at the foot of the mountain.They never expected that Jiang Hanyin, who had looked at her obediently before, actually lied to Jiang Hanbing today. She gritted her teeth and followed Tang Luojin and Jiang Hanbing to climb the mountain together.

Jiang Hanbing scolded her, and Jiang Hanyin replied directly: "My sister is also my sister. Since I have come to the foot of the mountain, I have to go up the mountain to worship. Otherwise, how can I feel at ease? Besides, this is an order from my family, why can't I follow her?" ?”

When she said this, she kept peeking at the prince.But the prince never looked at her at all.

Jiang Hanbing clenched his fists and glared at her fiercely, but he couldn't say anything anymore—no matter how much affection he had with Jiang Hanyi's siblings, the remarriage between Jiang's family and Donggong had already become a fact.Moreover, this time is no longer the time for the little prince to propose to the eldest princess, but the time for the eldest princess's mansion to actively propose to the prince.

Jiang Hanbing didn't want Jiang Hanyin to occupy his sister's place—even if it was a concubine—he couldn't say anything now.

Tang Luojin continued to climb up the mountain.

But along the way, he didn't speak again.

Jiang Hanbing obviously found that the prince was annoyed.The prince was annoyed at the fact that the Jiang family sent Jiang Hanyin here, but the prince still remembered his sister, so even if he was annoyed, he did not give up on going up the mountain.

Jiang Hanyin is a delicate girl who was raised in a deep house, and she couldn't keep up with the crowd.But she had an idea in her mind, so she gritted her teeth and followed.

The more she walked, the farther her scent spread.

The faint fragrance of cold plum, as if it was the smell of Jiang Hanyi back then.

Tang Luojin sniffed the smell, but didn't even open her mouth to drive people away, or left alone.

It was only when he reached the mountain, at Jiang Hanyi's tombstone, that Tang Luojin stopped.

No matter how much the Jiang family likes a daughter who is not married, she cannot get a good position.

Jiang Hanyi's tombstone is in a relatively remote place.

Tang Luojin watched as Jiang Hanbing came forward, offering incense, offering sacrifices, and burning paper in the brazier.

He just stood aside and watched quietly.

He waited until Jiang Hanbing and Jiang Hanyi finished worshiping, and then he said, "You all go down, and read the scriptures for her alone."

Tang Luojin lived at the foot of the Baifo Temple for two years, and could read ordinary scriptures, so the others quietly retreated.

Tang Luojin really recited the Ksitigarbha, and when she finished, she sat on the ground, facing Jiang Hanyi's tombstone, which didn't even have a name.

"I haven't come to see you for so long, does Yi'er blame me?" Tang Luojin asked, "Or, Yi'er has been reincarnated and went to the world I used to be? That world, although it is not fair to women, Women need to put in several times more effort than men to live a more comfortable life. However, as long as you work hard, you can get it, which is better than here, isn't it?"

"I wanted to see you before. But, I didn't know whether I should come." Tang Luojin spoke slowly, with a slight hesitation on his face, he pursed his lips, and said, "I used to never really like you. Who has ever been. I only heard others say it, and I thought that if you like someone, you should be like a moth. You know you shouldn't get close, but you still have no hesitation. But now..."

"Now, I meet a person. He is very good. A couple for a lifetime, this is an era that should not be expected. But, if it is him, I think, I probably can do it. He, It can be done." Tang Luojin stretched out her hand, touched the tombstone, and said, "He makes me very warm and at ease. Although it is difficult, if I put my mind to it, being with him is not impossible."

"But now, I don't know whether I should do this thing. Jiangshan and beauty, although I don't have to spend all my money to get that person. But..."

There is probably love, but it is not that deep.Tang Luojin didn't know if he should fight for this love.

When it was getting late, Tang Luojin finally squatted up, lit the brazier again, and took out the contents of the box she brought.

It is a wedding dress.

"Yi'er, I probably want to ask you for a favor." Tang Luojin unfolded the red wedding dress, and everyone not far away was dumbfounded, but no one dared to go forward, and could only watch helplessly. Looking at the prince, he slowly put the bright red wedding dress in the brazier.

The red wedding dress slowly burned.

Jiang Hanyin stared blankly at the wedding dress, while Jiang Hanbing's eyes were red.

Tang Luojin's move was not for Jiang Hanyi's sake. After a while, when the wedding dress was completely burned, he was about to get up when he moved his nose slightly, and an extremely faint smell came from the brazier.

Tang Luojin's complexion suddenly changed.

"Bring some water!"
