Compared with the prosperity of other palaces, Liquidambar formosana is the most quiet peach blossom garden. It's just that the simplicity here is not intentional, but forced. It's not to enjoy the comfort, but to get the pitiful warmth for the concubine to sit in the sun with Arnold in her arms.
Bu Qingyi, who had no idea of this, stepped into the Maple Garden and couldn't help sighing, "it's really a quiet and elegant place", which immediately led to a quiet sigh from Rong bin.
Chen sui'er gently pulled the sleeve of Labu Qingyi and said in a low voice, "the scene of Fengxiang garden is caused by the slightness of the etiquette department, not by human behavior. Let the concubine empress always because of this matter worry, you don't take knife to poke her heart again
Bu Qingyi also saw the sad look on Rong Bin's face at this time, and quickly changed her voice to greet Arnold: "Princess Arnold seems to be taller than when we met last time, and her skin is whiter."
Bu Qingyi wanted to praise Arnold, but Rong bin was more worried and sighed.
What's going on? What seems to be wrong? If you think about what you said, it's OK! Bu Qingyi couldn't figure it out, so he had to turn to Chen sui'er for help.
Chen sui'er's Lotus steps moved gently and came forward with an elegant and gentle salute. He whispered in a soft voice: "Chen sui'er has seen Rong pin Niang and Princess Arnold. Please say hello to Rong pin Niang."
"Sui'er doesn't have to be so polite. Get up quickly." Rong bin holds Chen sui'er up with a kind face, but she looks at Bu Qingyi all the time. "What brings Princess Qingxiang here? Did you come with sui'er? "
Bu Qingyi wanted to learn Chen sui'er's appearance and give her a graceful and easy curtsey. Thinking about it carefully, the gesture was really awkward. She simply raised her hands and clasped her fist in front of her chest: "last time I met with Princess Arnold's youth and wisdom, so this time I specially pulled sister Chen to make up with her. I hope the concubine and Princess Arnold don't give up."
Bu Qingyi and other people who have seen the world, how can they be easily impressed by a child? What she said was obviously a lie. Although Rong pin didn't expose it to her face, her expression was somewhat unnatural. On the contrary, Princess Arnold quietly took over the conversation: "I like sister Qingyi very much. It's so nice to see her again. It's just that on this cold day, my sister came here specially, and Arnold was really sorry. "
On a cold day, who will come to this place where birds don't shit for a half true and half false flattery? Arnold belittled the lies of breaking the green clothes, but she didn't have the taste of questioning and doubt. This kind of sophistication made her look very mature, which didn't match her young face at all.
Seeing that Arnold didn't mean to evade, although Rong bin was on guard, she was invincible. Bu Qingyi was relieved, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
"Rong Niang Niang, I'm a little tired. Let's go back to the house." Arnold took Rong Bin's hand and raised her tender face. "By the way, didn't Rong Niang say that before? There is a pair of needlework. I want to ask Chen's sister to give me some advice. "
Rong bin was a little dazed at first, and then suddenly realized it. She quickly said with a smile, "yes, there's a place that can't be embroidered well. Sui'er, come and help me to have a look. People say you're the best at needlework!"
Chen sui'er immediately understood their meaning, nodded gently, and then walked to Qingyi and said, "I'll go to the room to have a look. Sister Qingyi, please wait for me for a while."
After that, Chen sui'er and Rong bin leave together, and Arnold jumps to bu Qingyi. He holds Bu Qingyi's hand with one hand, and points to the wing room with the other hand: "my room is there, elder sister Qingyi, let's have a seat with me."
What Bu Qingyi wants is a chance to have a private conversation with Arnold, but she can't help muttering that Arnold's little hands are too cold, just like ice.
Arnold took Bu Qing's clothes to her small room, which was not as simple as some female official's residence. Apart from the basic supplies, there were only a few paintings and a Guqin. There was a fire basin on the ground, but there wasn't even half a piece of charcoal in it. If there were no walls to block it, there would be no wind blowing in. It was as cold as it was outside, or even as cold as it was outside.
"Do you usually live here? No wonder your hands are so cold. " Bu Qingyi subconsciously pinches Arnold's little hand, and transfers her internal power to the past.
That internal force can't help, but it can at least make Arnold's body a little warmer. Feeling the warmth spreading from the palm like flowing water, Arnold was slightly stunned and looked at Bu Qingyi with a few strange luster in his eyes.
"Sister Qingyi, you'd better sit inside. It's cold in the room. If you don't put on a quilt, you'll get cold easily." Arnold draws back his hand without any trace and leads step green to the bedroom.
Looking at the bedroom that is not as good as the outer hall, bu Qingyi frowned hard.
Where is this girl's boudoir?!
Cold, old, without any warm decoration, the quilt on the bed is still a thin brocade quilt used in summer.
Is it in this kind of environment that the prince Tianjia, who is in power and has no worries about food and clothing, lives in? Is not more than the beloved Yuyang princess, at least not inferior to those concubines and female officials? But what she saw in her eyes was that Arnold's life was no different from that of ordinary people, and even worse than that of some rich families.Inexplicably, a flame sprang up in Bu Qingyi's heart.
"Does the Lord never come to you? No one has sent the expenses allocated to the palaces by the Ministry of rites? " Bu Qingyi's tone was a little more angry.
Arnold laughs and looks like a mature adult: "people who are not rejected by their father, where will they be assigned to live in such a place? In the days of Liquidambar formosana, as long as you can't starve and freeze people, if you ask too much, it will attract the reproach of those people in the Ministry of rites. "
Bu Qingyi didn't know the existence of Lenggong, but she didn't understand how an underage Princess provoked the emperor? Tiger poison does not eat son, even if Arnold made a big mistake, it can not ignore such a small child, let it live and die? No matter how hard it is, she has royal blood. How can she be bullied?
Arnold understood all the expressions on her face.
"The father emperor dislikes who naturally has his reason, in the world can't have the hatred without reason." More mature than some adults, Arnold sat on the bed with his knees in his arms, still with a calm expression. "In fact, I'm very happy to be able to have a little peace with Rong Niang, and I don't need to mix in those open and secret fights. It's enough to live with food and drink. "
How can there be such a sensible child in the world? If you treat your own flesh and blood so harshly, won't Lu Zhaohui's son of a bitch be heartbroken?
Arnold's heart has no fluctuation, but bu Qingyi has been angry in her stomach. She sits down next to Arnold with an unhappy face and encircles her small, cold body in her arms.
Arnold doesn't seem to be used to this kind of intimate action. He struggles for a moment and is hugged by Bu Qingyi. Helpless a mu had no choice but to let her handle, small palm grabbed quilt draped in two people's back.
"Sister Qingyi seems to have known who brother rongsu is?" Arnold looked at the bleak empty wall in front of him in a calm tone.
Bu Qingyi nodded and looked at Arnold: "do you call him brother? Are you familiar? "
"Brother Rong Su is a relative of Rong Niang, and he is very kind to me. Besides Rong Niang and Jinwang, my favorite person is Rong su. So I don't want to see elder sister Qingyi and elder brother rongsu as enemies. In that case, I don't know who to expect to win or lose. " Arnold sniffed, and finally had some childishness. "I know that if sister Qingyi is injured, brother Jinwang will be very sad; brother Jinwang is sad, and I won't feel better. But if brother rongsu loses, I will be very sad, too. "
Listening to the tongue twister, bu Qingyi didn't know whether to cry or smile. She was still a child! How to see the relationship between emotional slander and pain so clearly?
Bu Qingyi wants to emphasize to Arnold that she has no relationship with Lu Jingyi other than friends. On second thought, she feels that there is no need to explain this matter at all - as Lu Jingyi said, it is her right that she refuses to accept his feelings, but it is also his freedom that Lu Jingyi likes her, and she has no reason to interfere.
"In fact, I don't want to be against your brother rongsu. His father is a man I admire very much." Bu Qingyi said solemnly, "it's just for this that I come to you and Rong pin Niang Niang. I want to know what happened to Gu rongsu. Why does he hate me so much? He also said some words that I couldn't understand. I thought, is there any misunderstanding? Maybe we don't have to be enemies at all. "
Arnold lowered his head and put his arm around his knee. His voice was low and small: "brother rongsu never told me anything about hatred. I only know that brother Rong Su is a very kind person. He will never hate anyone for no reason. But I once heard Rong Su's brother talk to Rong Niang Niang. He said that the death of Uncle Guoshi was definitely more than just a disease caused by chronic labor. "
Sure enough, Gu rongsu has a close relationship with Rong pin. Is Rong pin Gu rongsu's mother?
Bu Qingyi has some speculation, but he is not sure. After all, according to Su muzhe, Rong Su, who is in love with Gu fengxiao, is ugly, but Rong bin has a pretty and soft face.
Did Rong Su's appearance change? Or is Su Muzhi's aesthetic ability worrisome, because he is a beauty, but he is not beautiful?
All sorts of guesses flashed quickly in Bu Qingyi's mind. She couldn't wait to get the answer. She stood up and raised her feet to go out: "I'd better ask Rong pin Niang."
"Rong Niang Niang doesn't know more than me." Arnold stopped Bu Qingyi in time and shook her head gently. "Rong Niangniang is also a relative that Rong Su's brother cares about. Rong Su's brother has been protecting us and refuses to let us know the memories that make him live in pain all the time."
Bu Qingyi was stunned: "do you mean that empress Rong bin is not the witness of the event? She Is she not Gu rongsu's mother? "
"Sister Qingyi really misunderstood!" Arnold rarely showed a natural smile, but he was immediately covered by a sad expression. She wrapped the quilt tightly, and her cold little hands became paler: "Rong Niangniang is not Rong Su's mother. In terms of seniority, Rong Su's brother should call her aunt."
Aunt? In other words, is Rong bin and Rong Su sisters?
Bu Qingyi hasn't recovered from her surprise, and Arnold throws out a more shocking news."Apart from my father, there is no one who has witnessed anything. Uncle Guoshi is no longer alive, and brother rongsu's mother passed away many years ago. "
