?Huai Jun came back from court, but there was no sign of Chen Pu, not under the magnolia tree, not in the bedroom, let alone in the front hall.After searching for a while, he stood under the scorching sun in a panic. The sun began to be fierce on Mayday, and sweat came out with his anxiety.

He wiped his sweat and suddenly remembered.This hot weather is poisonous, Chen Pu can't stand the hot weather the most, he must be in the library.

Thinking of this, he had to laugh at himself.How could he not remember that Chen Pu would be in the book hall?If Chen Pu is not in the Hall of Zhaohe, where can he go?

As soon as he stepped into the book hall, he saw Chen Pu holding the book and reading in a corner of the hall intently, without noticing Huai Jun's arrival at all.He quietly walked behind Chen Pu, and a huge black shadow fell on the book, and Chen Pu realized that someone was coming.

He was about to turn his head, but Huai Jun was one step ahead of him, covering his eyes with his hands.

"Who?" Chen Pu asked, and joked again: "If you don't let go, I'll call someone."

Huai Jun lowered his voice cooperatively, "Who can you call?" After finishing speaking, he stepped up his strength to press Chen Pu's body to himself, "How can I let go of a rare beauty in my arms?"

"Nonsense!" Chen Pu scolded, his cheeks flushed slightly, "If my brother Jun sees you treating me like this, I will definitely not spare you. If you are wise, let me go."

"Brother Jun of yours has good eyesight, and he falls in love with the same people as me."

"It's good to see me!"

After listening, Huai Jun couldn't pretend anymore, put down his hands, and laughed exaggeratedly.

After a while, Huai Jun was still laughing non-stop, Chen Pu pinched his face angrily, "If you laugh again, I will ignore you!"

"Okay, okay, don't laugh if you don't smile." Huai Jun immediately put away his smile, sat next to Chen Pu, then picked up the book on his lap, and asked, "What book are you reading so engrossed in?"

"This," Chen Pu pointed to a few lines of beautiful poems in the book, and recited, "I only love to live in Yangzhou in my life, and Yangzhou is full of spring air on the banks. I pick flowers from the garden and dress up leisurely, and the green on the poolside reflects the water and the red skirt."

"You read it well, please read it to me again."

Chen Pu immediately turned his head away, "If you want to read it, read it yourself."

"Pick the flowers from the garden and dress up leisurely," Huai Jun read while taking out a magnolia flower that he had just picked up from his bosom, and stuck it behind Chen Pu's ear, "Magnolia is white and blushing."

"I'm telling you serious, what nonsense are you talking about?" Even so, Chen Pu happily touched the magnolia flower behind his ear.

"Isn't it just to coax you?" Huai Jun smiled, picked up the book again, and asked, "Do you like this poem?"

"It's not that I like this poem." Chen Pu pointed to the word "Yangzhou" on the book, "Tell me, is Yangzhou really so beautiful?"

"The outside world is bigger than the palace, does Pu'er think the palace is beautiful?"

"The garden rockery in the palace is well built, of course it is beautiful."

"Since this is the case, the scenery of Yangzhou city must be better than that of the imperial palace. When I was young, my father and mother took me to Yangzhou. The mountains, lakes, and gardens there are more beautiful than the imperial palace. Pu'er, the outside world is more beautiful. It’s more beautiful than the fake gardens of the imperial palace.” After saying that, he couldn’t help thinking—wondering whether the queen mother’s soul has traveled all the places she wants to go?

"Huaijun." Chen Pu put his hands on Huaijun's shoulders, looked into his eyes, and said seriously: "If possible, let's go to the outside world."

"Okay!" Huai Jun responded readily, "As long as it's where Pu'er wants to go, I'm willing to accompany you."

"Then let's go to Yangzhou first!" Chen Pu excitedly imagined the scenery of Yangzhou, imagining him and Huai Jun looking at the lake, willows and sunset in front of the Slender West Lake.

"Why do you like Yangzhou so much?"

"Because I was born there!" Chen Pu rarely talked about what happened before he came to the palace, and it was the first time for Huai Jun to hear it, "Wang Wang said that I am from Yangzhou, but I was separated from my family when I was young and wandered around. After arriving in the capital, Wang Wang bought it, and later entered the palace."

"So do you miss your parents?"

"I don't know! I don't know what they look like." Speaking of this, Chen Pu sighed in his heart, then picked up the book and put it back on the shelf.He turned his back to Huai Jun, and after a long time, he finally said a word: "Hui Jun, at least my mother loves you, but I have lost my parents since I was young."

Huai Jun was heartbroken, and immediately made a bold statement: "If you want to, I will send someone to find your parents. Your parents must be thinking of you."

"It's okay, I almost forgot my own life experience." Turning around, Chen Pu said with emotion, "I have no father or mother. Fortunately, I still have you. My worst fear is that even you don't want me."

"Fool, I don't want anything, but I can't want you."

"You can't deny what you said!" Chen Pu said aggressively, "Shall we go to Yangzhou next year?"

"Okay, let's find a good time to go there! At that time, I can take you by the hand, go boating on the lake, and watch the sunset. It's so satisfying." Huai Jun stepped forward to hold Chen Pu, and looked into Chen Pu's shining eyes.

"Hey!" Chen Pu sniffled, "You have to really do it."

"When can't I do what I promised you?"

"It's because you forgot, last year you also promised to take me to see folk opera."

"I haven't forgotten, I just couldn't find the time..." Huai Jun replied with a guilty conscience.

"Really?" Chen Pu pretended to be discouraged and said, "You are a prince, and you have a lot of opportunities every day. If you are willing to coax me, I should be happy. So the trip to Yangzhou, if I have heard about it, I will go there." After finishing, Seeing Huai Jun's flustered face, Chen Pu let out a "puchi" and laughed.

In fact, the only thing that Huaijun promised him but couldn't do was not to go to the opera with him.But he knew that Huai Jun was reprimanded by the Holy One for going out of the palace with him that day, but Huai Jun never mentioned it to him.

Huai Jun asked Chen Pu to go to Jingchen Hall after having lunch with Chen Pu. The matter of Ming Luo's coming a few days ago had been bothering Huai Jun, so he had to go there in person.But on the other hand, he didn't want things to go as he imagined, after all, he didn't want the innocent Min Luo to be implicated.

However, as early as the moment Min Luo bowed and apologized to Huai Jun, it was doomed that he could not be alone.

Huai Jun looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, hurriedly stopped, hid behind the lacquered pillar, and quietly looked at the two people in the far pavilion—Yong Ting and Ming Luo.

Ming Luo snuggled into Yong Ting's arms, playing with the bright yellow flowers in her hands, but the corners of her mouth drooped.Yong Ting also seemed to have noticed Min Luo's strangeness, hugged him hard, and asked softly, "Why are you listless? Are you unhappy?"

"I'm not unhappy." Min Luo simply put the flowers aside, held his chin, and looked at the sky boredly.

"You said you weren't unhappy, but your face is all wrinkled together, it's so ugly." Yong Ting pinched Min Luo's face, and Min Luo kept screaming in pain, so he had to put down his hand and threatened, "Quickly tell me why not?" Be happy, otherwise I will use my trick!"

As soon as the words fell, Yong Ting raised his hand and slowly moved towards Min Luo's neck, and then Min Luo, who was afraid of ticklish, immediately retracted and surrendered: "I'll just say it."

Yong Ting pulled the shrunken Min Luo back into his arms, caressing his slender fingers consciously or unconsciously, while listening to him.

"Second Brother, I made a friend yesterday, can I go and play with him in the future?" Min Luo asked nervously, and secretly glanced at Yong Ting.

"Who?" Yong Ting raised his voice to question, Min Luo shrank immediately.

Ever since he was a child, Yong Ting has always been used to putting away Min Luo. Firstly, Min Luo is a premature baby and his health is not good; secondly, Min Luo's mother is crazy and always hurts him; thirdly, everyone in the palace has different ideas. , what he was most afraid of was that Min Luo would get hurt.

Since the first time he picked up Min Luo, he has made up his mind to protect this child well, as long as he stays by his side, no one will dare to hurt him.

An air of silence circulated between the two of them, and Min Luo was like this, who was easily intimidated, and then remained silent all day long.Yong Ting, who understands this, can only be the first to speak up no matter how proud he is on weekdays.

He suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "Who is that?"

"Chen, Chen Pu..."

"Which Chen Pu?" Yong Ting asked impatiently.

"It's the Zhonglang of Brother Sanhuang, Brother Huang, do you know that he is very good-looking, and I am the same age as him, so we are very congenial!" He talked about his first friend.Min Luo was no longer afraid.

"Huai Jun's Zhonglang? Good-looking?" Yong Ting immediately remembered that day in Yongning Temple, the man who drew his sword and pointed at him and knelt down to Huai Jun, and immediately turned his head and said, "Don't see him!"

"why?"

"Unpredictable."

Min Luo didn't know what Yong Ting was worried about, she just felt that Yong Ting didn't understand him, so she pushed Yong Ting away and left with red eyes.But Yong Ting was faster than him, he stopped his waist with one hand, and pulled him back into his arms.

Min Luo kept struggling, but his strength was not as strong as Yong Ting's, so he had to bow his head and keep silent.

"Ming Luo, don't be self-willed, Brother Huang is protecting you."

Ming Luo responded silently, and Yong Ting's temper also came up, and he explained violently: "You know why, although the death of Empress Jun was not my idea, but it has something to do with it, Huai Jun will not let it go! So around him Don't get close to anyone!"

"Brother Sanhuang is Brother Sanhuang, but Chen Pu is a good person!" Min Luo retorted.

"Min Luo, everyone is a good person in your eyes. It's not that I don't want you to meet friends, but I'm just afraid that you will be hurt." Yong Ting hugged Min Luo even tighter, so tight that Min Luo could feel his beating heart , he immediately felt guilty.

Although he is the fourth prince, but his mother's background is not high, and now she is crazy, no one looks down on him.Only when Yong Ting gets close to him, loves him, and stays by his side all the time, can people dare not bully him.

How could he lose his temper for an outsider now?

He twisted his fingers and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Brother Huang, if you don't want me to see him, I will disappear."

"After the matter is over, can you play with him again?" Yong Ting also backed down a step, and Min Luo smiled with relief.

At this time, Yong Ting took out a small wooden box from his arms, and put an emerald green ring in the wooden box.As soon as the sunlight hit it, it appeared to be more crystal clear, and Min Luo's eyes were immediately attracted to it.

"It's so beautiful!" Min Luo sighed, then took the ring and pressed it on her chest preciously: "It's another treasure to see!"

Min Luo likes beautiful things, so Yong Ting would give him some gadgets from time to time for him to collect.

But this time he took out the ring, then took Min Luo's hand, and put the ring on: "Min Luo, I know I have a bad temper, I am difficult to get along with, and I don't know how to say sweet words, but you wear this , don't be disgusted."

"I won't dislike it!" Min Luo raised his hand, looked at the ring in the sunlight, and smiled brightly.

So since you put it on, you can't take it off, okay? "

"Don't take it off, you won't take it off for the rest of your life!"

With his back on the pillar, Huai Jun took a deep breath, and it was exactly as he expected!But should he be happy?God let him see this scene today, is he destined to avenge the dead Concubine Jun?However, Min Luo is innocent, he and he are the unfortunate people in this court, he did nothing wrong...

But what did the queen mother do wrong?

——Brother Erhuang, you let the person I love the most die, and I want you to feel the pain of the person you love dying wronged!

After making up his mind, Huai Jun left along the corridor, thinking in his heart, should he go to Cuiwei Palace to tell the truth, or should he tell the truth through others?

Suddenly, a delicate pink dress bumped into him, and he instinctively helped her steady.

"Zhilan?" Taking a closer look, it turned out to be the eldest princess Wu Zhilan.

"See Brother Sanhuang!" Zhilan hastily dropped the words and continued to rush forward, as if she was looking for something.Suddenly, she turned around and asked Huai Jun: "Brother Huang, have you seen my kitten?"

Huai Jun squinted at Zhilan's flustered expression, it turned out that the kitten was missing!Zhilan's cat seems to have been brought as a tribute from Persia last year.

He raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion: "Is it yellow? It seems to have gone over there."?
