Afterwards, it was difficult for Yun Zai to explain His Highness's actions, so he pinched the remaining petals and explained to the young lady: "Well, they are some pear petals, you must have stayed under the pear tree for a long time, right? so much."

She nodded and replied consciously as a captive: "I sat there for a long time because I wanted to cultivate soil for my flowers, but they captured me before I finished cultivating them."

When she said the word "captive", the captor was already standing in the yard, looking at her expressionlessly, which probably meant to settle accounts after autumn.Just now I don't know who walked all the way with her arm wrapped around her in the name of "fear of the dark". If it was this kind of "capture" method, she would be very reluctant to capture her.

The beautiful sister turned around and brought back her beloved flower pot with a slightly innocent expression.

Yun Zai guessed the identity of the visitor from the first moment he saw her, and felt that it was necessary to clear up the "misunderstanding" between the two parties.Kindly said: "Don't worry, our Highness is a good person, and we won't make things difficult for you. As long as you tell us the whereabouts of Qin Daguan, His Highness will definitely not make things difficult for you. Right, Your Highness?"

"Really?" Lady Huakui looked outside with gleams in her eyes, the empress dowager who was ignoring her could no longer have a cold expression, she had no expression at all.

"Really." Yun Zai has always been warm-hearted and assured her.

"But, I really don't know where he went. He never told me where he usually goes. You can see that he didn't take me with him when he ran over the wall. It can be seen that I have no place in his heart at all."

When she said this, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her indifferent attitude, but the more indifferent she was, the more sympathetic and sympathetic she was to those who saw her.

Yun Zai felt that the official Qin was really not a good person, he could leave such a beautiful oiran lady on his own way and climb over the wall, why didn't he throw him to death!

Li Jingchen felt that her innocent appearance was just faking, and sneered, "If he really has no status, how could he tell you the secret of the secret channel? Do you think we are three-year-old children?"

"I've said it all. If you don't believe me, there's nothing you can do. Anyway, if you arrest them all, I'll just go with you. In short, time will tell people's hearts."

The crown prince "captured" the oiran lady and wanted to leave, but the oiran lady was worried about her flowers before leaving, and she insisted on entrusting the care of the "deaf mother-in-law and grandson dumb uncle" before she would leave.The deaf mother-in-law and uncle Sun-mute she was talking about were the two servants in the yard, one deaf-mute and the other dumb.

Li Jingchen was not unreasonable either, so he just watched her explain the "funeral affairs" to those two people on the spot, and told the story of her being "captured" by the way.But when she told the dumb man that she was taken away, it was okay to say that she was taken away, but what happened to the gesture of choking her neck when she said "taken away" to the deaf mother-in-law?Have you been so cruel to her?

The old woman stared at the executioner with horror, the empress dowager felt uncomfortable, and felt that these people were not normal and could not communicate at all.He simply went out and got into the carriage.

In the carriage back, Yun Zai saw His Highness closed his eyelids and seemed to be asleep, so he started talking with the lady Hua Kui in a low voice.

"Miss, what's your name?"

"My name is Hua Qing, but everyone calls me Mrs. Hua Kui. You can call me Sister Hua Qing, or Miss Hua Qing."

"That's great, then I'll call you Sister Huaqing from now on." The little girl was pleased with herself for having such a beautiful woman by her side.

"Then what's your name?"

"My name is Mu Yunzai, and the one riding the horse in front is called Mu Yunzhong, he is my real brother."

"Mu Yunzhi, Mu Yunzhong, are your parents going to plant you as clouds?"

"No, His Highness gave us our names. When I was a child, my brother and I wandered the streets. We were hungry and cold every day. We didn't have enough food and clothing. One day we almost died on the street. It was His Highness who kindly rescued us. Her Highness gave us food and drink, took us in at her house, and gave us names. I forgot what my original name was. I only know that my current name and this life are given by His Highness. of."

"You are so pitiful!" Mistress Huakui's eyes glowed with sympathy, which made Yun Zai's heart feel hot again, and her eyes were also a little sore. She has always remembered this experience in her heart and rarely told others about it. But for some reason, I told her everything when I got excited.

I thought she would praise His Highness as a good person or something, but she leaned against the wall of the car and yawned. The tenderness and enthusiasm just disappeared in a blink of an eye, and she said lazily: "One meal will kill two people!" Buy it, this world is really pitiful!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyelids tiredly, as if what he said just now was all nonsense before the onset of tiredness.Yun Zai was a little confused, and thought for a while before retorting in a low voice: "That's not it!" As for why not, she didn't say much, but closed her eyes with her and took a nap.

Li Jingyu, who had been dozing off all this time, opened his black and white eyes, with deep water in them, and calmly stared at that face that must be said to be fascinating even in his sleep.Reluctantly squeezed his fist.

The empress dowager took the oiran lady back to the palace and put her under house arrest, and she sent out a message to coerce the officials of Qin to show up.However, she did not intend to just hang herself on the tree of Daguan Qin. While continuing to search for the whereabouts of this profiteer, she successively subdued the No. The small leader who is not well-known is promised a generous reward after borrowing food.

The No. [-] leader, Lu Daguan, was also very considerate, and he came to the palace every day to pay a visit, and presented many famous utensils and treasures to curry favor with the empress dowager.Although Li Jingchen refused to accept it, he treated this grain merchant who was willing to surrender with kindness.

That day she happened to mention at the dinner table that in two days' time, at the Jiangnan Grain Merchants Conference, this high official on the road would be in charge of raising grain.The oiran lady on the opposite side suddenly gave a "chi" smile, the contemptuous meaning in it changed the expressions of Yun Zai and Yun Zhong on the left and right, and also made the smug empress dowager unable to step down for a while.

Since being placed under house arrest, the oiran lady has not been too polite, and has lived a life of clothes and food in the backyard of the palace, and occasionally helps them take care of the flowers and plants in the palace.At first they didn't eat at the same table, because Li Jingzhu was pampered and a little clean since he was a child, and he never wanted to share the table with strangers unless it was necessary for business.It's just that once she came back late from a business trip, Yun Zai figured that she must have eaten outside, fearing that the prepared meals would be wasted, so she called the oiran out of the room to eat together.

Yun Zai has her own thoughts. After so long, she really wants to see the true face of the oiran lady. You need to use your mouth to eat. When the time comes, won't the veil be lifted?Unexpectedly, before the two of them moved their chopsticks, His Highness came back from outside in a hurry.

Xu Shi was in a bad mood that day, and he probably didn't get any food. He also saw the food merchants in the south of the Yangtze River pushing each other and holding together to resist the evil trend of the imperial court's orders. He also suffered from the disaster of the fish in the pond.

Although His Highness didn't say it directly, he almost put the words "you still have the face to eat" on his face.That Huakui lady is also a proud one, so it's not easy to stay any longer after being disliked so openly.Standing up with self-knowledge: "A little girl from a lowly family background, how dare you sit at the same table with His Highness the Empress Dowager, so I will leave now." After speaking, her eye circles were red, she gave a forced smile, and obediently went back to the backyard.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Yun Zai feels wronged for her, but he has no position to blame His Highness.Li Jingchen's brain was completely troubled by the matter of raising food, and he didn't have the heart to keep her, so he ate his own food.Hmph, she's been hungry for a whole day, and she's fine, she won't starve to death if she doesn't eat a meal, so why pretend like she's bullying her!

However, early the next morning, Yun Zai jumped into Hua Qing's room excitedly, asked her to go to the front hall for dinner, and declared that it was His Highness who called her.At that time, the oiran lady was dressing up, and after what happened last night, she seemed a little disheartened: "You don't need to comfort me." Some people are destined to keep warm, so she didn't want to make fun of herself.

"Really, His Highness said it herself. She said that she was in a bad mood last night. She didn't mean to make faces at you on purpose. She asked me to eat and call you this morning. Everyone, just pretend that this never happened. Are you going?" go!"

Hua Qing thought to herself, the empress dowager has such a big face, if someone else did something wrong, she would have to apologize, and she will act as if nothing happened.She must also thank her a thousand times.Otherwise, it's just ignorant and ignorant.

Comb your hair calmly a few times, "Go, of course. If you don't eat the food that's brought to your mouth for nothing, you'd be a fool."

So for the first time in Hua Qing's life, she ate at the same table with the empress dowager, and no one mentioned the unpleasant memories of last night.Before starting, the oiran lady took off her veil naturally, folded the square scarf neatly and stuffed it into her sleeves.Picking up the chopsticks lukewarmly, enjoying the exquisite and noble delicacies of the Empress Dowager’s family——

Winter bamboo shoots, shrimps, shredded chicken, green vegetables, tofu flowers...

Eh?Why are they eating about the same as she usually eats?

It turns out that His Highness the Empress Dowager usually eats these too, so it's no different from what ordinary people eat!She was complacent because of this discovery that invisibly shortened the distance between the two of them.

When she was about to put down the chopsticks, she caught a glimpse of the three people on the opposite side not moving at all, Hua Qing thought that she needed some dining etiquette, so she stopped the chopsticks embarrassingly.However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.She asked Yun Zai in a low voice, "Why don't you eat it?"

"Oh, eat... eat!" Yun Zai quickly picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of tofu in his bowl, and turned his gaze to the oiran lady again, but did not move again.The oiran lady felt a little hairy when she was stared at like this, Gu Xiang, the only normal Li Jingchen, "Is there something on my face?"

Li Jingchen frowned subconsciously, anxious about some abnormal mood swings that only she knew just now, and forcibly rationalized this anxiety as disgusting, so she continued to put on her cold face with peace of mind.

"No," Yun Zai shook his head hastily, "It's just the first time we saw you take off your veil, Sister Hua, you are so beautiful! Just as I imagined, no, even more beautiful than I imagined! Yes No, Your Highness, hehehe..."

"Huh?" It sounded like there was something to it.

The little girl covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. Last night, she persuaded His Highness to invite Hua Qing to this meal, so as to reveal her true face.But Li Jingzhen told her very seriously: "You'd better not have too much hope, usually you are really stunning, and you never bother to cover up, not to mention the kind of business she is engaged in. Most of the mystery is to cater to those people in the market. It's low-level fun, adding gimmicks, and gaining attention! This kind of trick of refusing to welcome is not uncommon in officialdom!"

God knows how much trouble these words have caused her. When she thinks that Sister Hua behind the veil may be a fake beauty that doesn't deserve her name, she is so uncomfortable that she can't sleep.And it turns out that His Highness sometimes miscalculated.

She was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to really laugh, it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her stomach.Especially when he caught a glimpse of Li Jingchen burying his head in his meal pretending to be calm.

"I want to ask you a question, Sister Hua, why are you wearing a veil all the time? Is it because you are so beautiful, and you are afraid that people will covet you when you see it, so you have to hide it?"

"No," Hua Kui said relaxedly, those extremely lively peach blossom eyes slowly rolled up, causing Yun Zai to look up too.

"Don't you think there is too much dust in this world, and it gets into your nostrils, and it's choking?"
