chapter 12

It rained lightly all night.

The next day, the clouds dissipated and the wind cleared, and the warm sun hung high above and reflected the sky.

After Hua Zuili finished washing, she pushed open the carved window and stretched comfortably in the breeze after the rain, and fell asleep listening to the sound of the rain, it was just comfortable.

She glanced at the green willows and green lake in the courtyard, and suddenly saw a handsome young man holding a purple bamboo oil-paper umbrella standing beside the green rockery.

"Young Master Cheng Yun." He also turned his head to see her, nodded slightly, his brows were stretched and soft, as if there was some happy event hidden.

"Happy eyebrows, Mr. Chen has got a good wife and a beautiful family, or is he going to be promoted and get rich?" After going through a life-and-death tribulation together, Hua Zuili has already regarded the other party as a friend, and her tone is a little more teasing unconsciously.

Chen Zhisheng lowered his head and chuckled, and he didn't shy away from anything, "Yesterday, I saw that Lord Bei Xing arrested Chen Youheng and went to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then Young Master Chen must have suffered." Hua Zuili recalled what Uncle Fu said last night, and guessed that at that time, Mei Zhuoxue was not physically weak, but was trying to torture Chen Youheng.

Setting fire to the royal mansion, this kind of provocative authority, will peel off the skin if you don't die.

It is indeed a good thing for Chen Zhisheng without the suppression of his son-in-law.

"Then, should I say congratulations?" Hua Zuili slowly stepped down the jade steps, and Shi Shiran stood beside the handsome young man.The willow leaves are green and the wind is swaying, making him picturesque.

"Congratulations..." Chen Zhisheng repeated in a murmur, the joy in his eyes dissipated, and gradually turned into sarcasm, "My father is a low-ranking person who is addicted to fireworks and willow lanes all day long, so there are many more descendants of the Chen family than other families. "

"A piece of meat, a hundred wolves, whoever is hungry and who is full has to rely on his own ability, but... I also have my own cards."

He looked up at the blue sky and warm sun, with a trace of coldness flashing across his eyes, "Young Master Chengyun, you said that if you want to fight for the top, you have to go against your will, is there any point?"

"Compared to me, you should ask your own heart, what to do, why not regret it."

Chen Zhisheng knew that she couldn't make decisions for herself, but felt that the young man's gentle and shallow voice could inexplicably reassure him. Perhaps, he already had the answer, but he wanted to gain the approval of the people around him, even if it was an ambiguous sentence.

It was not in vain, he stood here all night.

Chen Zhisheng lowered his eyes and kept staring at Huazuili's eyes, covering the cold light that flashed in his eyes. He held the handle of the purple bamboo umbrella tightly with his right hand as if he had made up his mind, "Young Master Chengyun, I..."

"Cheng Yun." A warm and soft voice interrupted him.

Mei Zhuoxue walked in slowly holding a gilt and crisp jade stove with purple heavenly fragrance in both hands. He glanced at the two of them, moved his body, and separated them calmly.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, I'm just talking about the scenery in Your Highness's courtyard." Hua Zuili stepped back a few steps, opening the distance between her and Mei Zhuoxue, where the corners of her robes were almost touching.

Mei Zhuoxue ignored her alienated attitude, and put the stove in her palm to dispel the cold, "The scenery in this courtyard is a microcosm built according to various places of interest from all over the world. When I first entered the mansion, I was quite shocked."

"However, no matter how beautiful these scenery are, they are just dead objects made by manpower. Compared with the natural scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, small bridges and flowing water, these are not worth mentioning. Do you want to go and see?"

Playing with Mei Zhuoxue?Oh, goodbye, she doesn't have the energy.

Hua Zuili withdrew her hand that was holding the heater and was about to refuse, but Chen Zhisheng suddenly answered from the side: "His Royal Highness is right, Jiangnan water town is picturesque, if you don't appreciate the blue lake light boat, wouldn't you It's a waste of time."

what's the situation?She turned her head to look at Chen Zhisheng who was whispering with downcast eyes, and couldn't help thinking, the two previous meetings between him and Mei Zhuoxue, he didn't say a word, why did he suddenly speak along today?

Could it be... This is trying to cling to the prince to find a way out?

Mei Zhuoxue also glanced at him lightly, without making any objection, she just said to Hua Zuili: "The minority obeys the majority, Mr. Cheng Yun, do you understand?"

"Hehe, I understand..."

An ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, as depicted in ink and wash.The long street passed by simple and simple people with simple clothes but relaxed expressions.

Mei Zhuoxue picked up the candied haws from the street vendor's stall, turned around, looked at it, and asked Hua Zuili beside her, "Do you want to eat?"

Hua Zuili looked at the small hawthorn balls coated with a thin layer of syrup. When she usually goes out to play, it is indispensable to buy a bunch of candied haws to satisfy her appetite. She wants to eat it very much, but she has not forgotten her present identity.

"Thank you, Your Highness, but I don't like this kind of food that my little daughter eats. Your Highness doesn't need to spend it."

Mei Zhuoxue nodded: "I mean, I eat, you pay."

"I..." Hua Zuili looked at the person who took a bite of the candied haws unceremoniously, and licked his lips leisurely, took a deep breath, took out two pennies from his long sleeve and put it on the stall table, She bears it!
The waters in the south of the Yangtze River are vast. If you want to enjoy the scenery of the town, boating is the best choice.

An exquisite and gorgeous wooden boat has already been prepared on the gurgling river.

Hua Zuili, Mei Zhuoxue, Chen Zhisheng and other three boarded the boat, and the boatman shook the oars, the light boat was long, and the peasant girl doing laundry by the lake was idle, humming a melodious love song with a clear voice, floating in the lake water above.

Mei Zhuoxue finished eating the last candied hawthorn on the bamboo stick, put it aside, took a sip of clear tea to soothe her throat, "The candied hawthorn from the south of the Yangtze River is delicious and not greasy, and the fruit is just ripe, sour and sweet, Mr. Cheng Yun If you have a chance, you must try it, you may not be able to eat the food from your little daughter's house."

"Okay." She endured it!
Mei Zhuoxue looked at the corners of her mouth raised bluntly, and smiled lightly. He took out a red sandalwood box with intricate patterns from his arms, and pushed it in front of her, "Mr. Chengyun, please eat a bunch of candied haws. , and took this as a thank you gift.”

Hua Zuili took it and opened it, only to see that on the bright red cotton velvet soft cloth, a black line coiled around its body was slowly spitting out a letter. Under the sun, the layers of scales seemed to be coated with silver light.

This is... that black scaled snake.

"Come." Mei Zhuoxue grabbed her wrist and stretched it straight towards the black scaled snake, but this time, Hua Zuili did not hide.

"This snake has been given some kind of secret medicine. As long as it is familiar with your breath, this black scaled snake will only obey your words from now on."

The fingertips touched the raised head of the black-scaled snake, and the little snake swung its head around the fingers, moved its body, and slowly swam up its drunken arms.

Hua Zuili froze, but the cold but gentle hand on her wrist seemed to sense her nervousness, and she clenched it slightly, seemingly silently comforting her. She relaxed and let the black snake climb up. Her shoulders, her neck, even her cheeks.

For a while, it lay on her shoulder and did not move.

Mei Zhuoxue let go of her hand, "This black-scaled snake is full of spirituality. After getting along with it for a long time, it will become more obedient." He was also more at ease.

It's rare for Hua Zuili not to refuse this gift. She feels that it is better to accept an extra weapon that she can control than to counterattack herself by falling into the hands of others. Besides, this is what Mei Zhuoxue owes her. of.

She nodded slightly to thank her, but the wooden boat shook violently.
