Chapter 31
"Wei'er is getting older, it's normal to give Duoyi fruit to the girl he likes." King An remained calm, drinking the soup leisurely.

Zhou Wei choked again, and almost dropped his chopsticks onto the table.

"Husband, don't make fun of him, Wei'er's face is blushing." Princess An Jun said with a smile.

King An Jun said, "Wei'er is a beautiful tree facing the wind. I don't know who's girl is so lucky to be favored by Wei'er."

"Uncle," Zhou Wei blushed a little, "I'm going to visit Mingyue Lake tomorrow."

Prince An smiled, "Let Zichu go with you tomorrow, he hasn't been out for a long time."

King Anjun put aside the Duoyiguo story and talked about interesting stories about Qingzhou.

He was well-read and knowledgeable, and he was able to talk about Qingzhou's historical, cultural and historic sites. Although it was interesting to listen to, Zhou Wei couldn't taste the sumptuous meals on the table.

The princess of the county settled Zhou Wei in Zichu's yard. When she returned, Zichu was very happy and talked a lot.

"Cousin, you arrived in Qingzhou the day before yesterday, why didn't you go directly to the palace. If my mother hadn't heard that you were hit by a girl with an inkstone, we would not have known that you had arrived in Qingzhou."

Zhou Wei was a little embarrassed, "I was going to come to the palace as soon as I arrived in Qingzhou, but I suffered a small injury due to an accident. Aren't I afraid that my aunt might be in a hurry, so I just wanted to come back after the injury is better."

Zi Chu pursed his lips and smiled, "Cousin must feel ashamed."

"What's there to be ashamed of? A man can bend and stretch, who doesn't have a time to take a nap?" Zhou Wei boasted.

"My cousin is wrong. If my cousin didn't give way to that girl, how could she hurt you?" Zi Chu said teasingly, "I'm not curious about my cousin being beaten, I'm just curious about the girl who beat my cousin. ?”

"Since when did Zichu care about these things?" Zhou Wei teased him.

"As long as it's about my cousin, I care about it." Zi Chu said with a smile, "I heard that it was Miss Chang who told my mother about your visit to Qingzhou. She went to my mother to plead guilty, but my mother still didn't believe it."

"Miss Chang?" Zhou Wei thought about it, "Which Miss Chang?"

"I heard it's the fifth girl from Chang Shaocheng's family in the Weaving Department!"

"No wonder, I said she wouldn't tell my aunt." Zhou Wei heaved a sigh of relief.

"The girl you mentioned is the girl you gave up to, right? Could it be that she is also surnamed Chang?" Zichu's eyes flashed cunningly, "And, you must have given Doigo to Miss Chang."

Zhou Wei was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"I saw that when your father mentioned Duoiguo when you were eating, your reaction was unusual, so I guessed it."

No wonder people say that the son of King Anjun is smart and agile, and it turns out that his reputation is well-deserved.

"Zi Chu, come back to Beijing with us in a few days," Zhou Wei patted his head, "Maybe Doctor Xu can cure your illness."

"My disease is not curable," Zichu said with a calm tone, "I have accepted it for so many years, but my father and mother are worried about me, which makes me feel ashamed."

Looking at the full moon in the sky, he suddenly pointed to the sky, "Cousin, do you think people will really become stars in the sky after death? If so, father and mother will see fewer stars in the sky." Be sad."

"Nonsense," Zhou Wei took out an almond from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, biting it hard, "When a person dies, he is dead, so you must live well."

He likes to eat dried fruit and always carries dried fruit with him at all times.He will eat one when he is in a good mood, and one when he is in a bad mood.

Zi Chu looked at him, and Bai Jing's face was covered with a layer of brilliance by the moonlight, making her look even more elegant, "Cousin, I will live a good life, not for myself, but also for my father and mother."

Kong Linger's birthday character has been embroidered for more than half.Although it was only one word, she spent most of her energy.

The bright red base fabric and bright flowers form a big Shou character. The flowers are full of vitality, and the Shou character is huge and full, symbolizing the exuberance of life.

The most special thing is that this picture of longevity incorporates peonies in eight major colors, and all the petals are naturally smudged, and the colors are lifelike and bright.

Kong Linger's Xixiu Pavilion is adjacent to Chang Luoyun's Huansha Pavilion. Since she entered the Xixiu Pavilion, she has never gone out. She only sleeps for three or four hours a day. Shou Ye, Kong Ling'er's lower eye sockets were also slightly bruised.

Seeing that most of the embroidery was completed, Fei Cui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Girl, you see it's sunny today, why don't we go for a walk in the yard and take a rest by the way."

Kong Linger looked out the window. Although the big banyan tree blocked a large part of the sunlight, she could still feel the brilliance of the spring sun.The birds on the tree are chirping joyously, and the clear silk is curling up, shaking the spring like a thread.

Kong Linger stretched her waist, "Fei Cui, go fetch a basin of water and let me wash my face."

Fei Cui went to fetch water happily, and Kong Ling'er looked in the mirror.

In just a few days, the woman in the mirror lost a lot of weight, her eye sockets were darkened, and her chin was pointed, making her eyes look bigger.

She picked up the comb and licked her temples. Jade had already poured water in.She took the soft handkerchief and wiped her face, feeling refreshed.

"Jade, let's go outside for a walk." Kong Linger stood up and walked into the yard.

The yard is not big, but there are tables and stone benches for the girls to rest when they are tired.Kong Linger's back hurts after sitting for a long time, and she just wants to take a walk in the yard.

As soon as she stood in the yard, Biyan called out through the window, "Miss Linger!"

Kong Linger looked over, and Chang Luoyun was already standing at the window, smiling and waving at her.

There is an unwritten rule among embroiderers. When participating in an embroidery competition, they will not show their embroidery to others until the result is out. Firstly, it is to preserve their strength, and secondly, they are afraid of seeing other people's embroidery. Lost confidence.

Seeing Chang Luoyun waving, Kong Linger didn't walk over, but asked with a smile, "The spring is beautiful today, Miss Yun'er, don't you want to come out for a walk?"

As soon as the words finished, Chang Luoyun had already left the door and walked towards her, "Ling'er, I've been paying attention to this yard, but I haven't seen you come out, I thought you'd have to wait until the competition is over before coming out."

Kong Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't think about what to embroider a while ago, so I thought hard and spent some time, so that I didn't dare to relax later because I didn't have enough time. I feel that it's easier these days, and I can figure it out after a long time." Take a walk and rest."

Kong Ling'er looked at Chang Luoyun's face, "Is Yun'er also darkened under the eye sockets?"

Chang Luoyun smiled wryly, "These days, all the girls who come to participate in the embroidery competition are like this."

"That's true, but fortunately, it's only three days before it's over," Kong Linger fanned with a feather fan, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

"That's not necessarily the case!" At some point, Chang Luoyao stood behind them.

She held the fan in her hand against her chin, and said with a half-smile, but meaningfully, "We've made it through, but Fourth Sister, maybe your hard days have just begun?"
