Chapter 51 Green Plum Wine

Haitang called Ji'er and Shuang'er in and told them that he was going to climb over the wall with King Duan. Ji'er was very nervous, but Shuang'er thought it was no big deal.Haitang asked Shuang'er to sneak out and wait for her outside.Ji'er turned off the light and pretended that the girl had fallen asleep.

Haitang opened the window, and after a while, Xie Ruitang flew into the window like a gust of wind.Ji'er was startled, and she and Shuang'er whispered together: "Your Majesty~" Xie Ruitang nodded towards them, put his arms around Haitang's waist, climbed up the wall in two moves, and jumped outside.

Shuang'er couldn't jump up and slipped out quietly from the side door.Ji'er stuck out her tongue, gently covered the window, closed the door and went out, hoping that the girl and Shuang'er would come back soon.

When they arrived outside the Cheng Mansion, Shuang'er saw Ling Yun waiting for her: "Sister, do you think the prince's speed... will you be able to return to the prince's mansion soon?"

Shuang'er got on Ling Yun's horse with a smile and followed the prince to Lianyunge.Lianyunge has closed its doors to thank guests. Shopkeeper Li is smiling so hard that he can't see his eyes and is waiting for them.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat, Miss. The food will be served soon. Your Majesty, would you like to have a couple of drinks?"

The prince lifted his robe and sat down, looked at Haitang and said, "Then bring two glasses of green plum wine and let the girl have a taste of your craftsmanship."

"From now on, if you don't have enough to eat outside, I will prepare delicious food for you when you come back." Haitang asked with concern, "Does the palace always deny you enough food?"

Xie Ruitang smiled: "Yeah, I only eat one or two bites of each dish. I'm afraid that others will know that I like to eat like that. There are a group of people standing next to me, all holding their breath. How can I still eat happily?" Haitang sympathized. Look at him.

"By the way, I have something for you!" Haitang said happily and asked Shuang'er to bring over a cloth bag: "I started preparing it when I returned to Kyoto. I checked it twice in the past two days. There will be nothing wrong. ”

Xie Ruitang couldn't figure out what it was, so he took the cloth bag and opened it. It was a bound picture album with pictures of various common plants in the wild, divided into poisonous, edible and directly medicinal plants.Each type is painted with flowers and leaves, with annotations written in small regular script on the side.

His heart seemed to be filled with happiness and about to explode: "This, what I said in Yueling, do you still remember?"

"I remember, because it was about you." Haitang's eyes curled up in laughter.

Xie Ruitang walked over, gently pulled Haitang up, held her in his arms, looked at her and said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to do it step by step, so that you have time to understand me, and let you love me as much as I love you. Love me, but now, I really don't want time to slow down so much, as long as you give me a little, I will give you all."

He lowered his head and kissed Haitang's forehead gently.

Haitang hugged him back, put her face against his chest, and whispered, "Does it take a long time to love someone? But I always feel that I have loved you for a long, long time."

After hearing her words, Xie Ruitang couldn't help but feel the love from the past and the present welling up in his heart.Really, it has been very slow. He has been waiting for two lifetimes for this person who gives to each other and has intertwined hearts.

I don't know how long it took before the two people sat down again holding hands.

"Ling Yun, why don't you ask for food when you are hiding there?" Xie Ruitang shouted without looking back.There was a rustling downstairs, and several people came up carrying dishes with smiles on their faces.Ling Yun held back his laughter and said, "We thought that you, your lord, were full..."

Haitang blushed with embarrassment.The smile on Xie Ruitang's face could hardly hold back: "You're the only one who talks too much, so get downstairs and wait!"

Several people quickly ran away overjoyed.

That night, neither Xie Ruitang nor Haitang slept well, maybe because of the two glasses of green plum wine, or maybe just because the other person's face was right in front of them as soon as they closed their eyes.Xie Ruitang never thought that he would be so lucky in this life. He loved her, and she happened to love him too.

After tossing and turning until dawn, Haitang fell asleep.

Over here in the old lady's room, Aunt Pan is applying eye drops to her aunt.

"Aunt, look at Haitang's child, she's so unruly. I heard she went to bed without eating last night, and now she's still up at three o'clock in the morning!" Aunt Pan was helping the old lady serve porridge, "She's so unruly. , others won’t say that he is uneducated in the wild, but they say that our Cheng family is uneducated.”

The old lady was also a little impatient: "She has no mother. As a concubine, you should teach her."

Aunt Pan immediately put down her porridge bowl and knelt down: "Auntie, take pity on me! Haitang has never taken me seriously. Even if she is not my concubine, I am still your niece and her cousin. Take pity on me and even an elder has to treat her." Be humble..."

The old lady sighed: "She is also an unlucky child. She is not close to us, and we are far away from her. You don't owe her anything. After the New Year, find her an ordinary family and marry her. go."

"What my aunt said is," Su Yun stepped forward and helped Aunt Pan to stand up. "If I promise to marry someone else later, even if she makes some mistakes, they won't dare to find fault with us. My aunt is still thoughtful."

"I feel pity for your master. He only has these three children! You are the only one in the house... I blame you for not being able to persuade him. If two more people had been admitted earlier, there would be more children and he would not be pampered. It’s like this.”

After hearing this, Aunt Pan pretended to wipe away her tears and said goodbye to the old lady.

When Aunt Pan entered her room, she angrily threw all the account books on the table to the ground.After working so hard to serve her aunt, not only did her aunt not think about her, but she even thought about helping Cheng Yu!

"Second Madam, please calm down. The old Madam just said that, what's the reason for you to waste your body like this?" Guizhi quickly picked up the account book and said with a smile, "You were not here just now, but Butler Cheng has already come to ask."

Aunt Pan looked at the account book blankly, took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and slowly sat down on the Taishi chair:
"Go and call Butler Cheng. I still have some numbers to contend with."
