Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 4 Cousins

The moment their eyes met, Tong Jia Xili almost forgot to breathe.

It wasn't until a moment later that Nalashi quietly poked Tong Jia Xili with her elbow, and she came back to her senses.

"Xi Li, what are you thinking?" Concubine Tong Jia lowered her body slightly, and gently touched Tong Jia Xili's cheek.

Concubine Tong Jia's slender and jade-like hands seemed a little cold.But the gentle expression on his face is actually the same as when he looked at Yinzhen before.

"No...no." Tong Jia Xili's cheeks blushed for a moment, she didn't dare to look at Yinzhen any longer, and said: "Young lady playing the piano is really nice, Xili is still thinking about the sound of the piano just now."

"What's so difficult about it?" Concubine Tong Jia said, "You're still young, you can practice more."

After that, Concubine Tong Jia had something to discuss with Nala's family alone, so she left the two children to play outside, and entered the inner hall of Chengqian Palace with Nala's family.

In the huge back garden, only Tong Jia Xili and Yinzhen were left.And, a Xiangrui standing far away.

Tong Jia, Xili and Yinzhen were both sitting on the stone benches in the gazebo, neither of them spoke.

Yinzhen propped his hands on the stone table and dragged his cheeks, tilting his head and looking at the clouds floating in the sky.

The clouds are soft and moving slowly with the wind.

"I just heard from Er Niang that your name is Xili, isn't it?" Suddenly, Yinzhen spoke.

A pair of black eyes, like ink, just looked straight at Tong Jia Xili.

Tong Jia Xili was a little cautious, but when she raised her head just now, somehow, at the moment when she met Yinzhen's gaze, she felt a beat in her heart.

"Hmm..." Tong Jia Xili nodded, looked straight into Yinzhen's eyes, and said, "Xili is my name."

"It's a nice name." Yinzhen thought about everything, thought for a while and said, "Then you...do you like pear blossoms?"

The pear blossoms are pure and white.For some reason, Yinzhen felt that Lihua was somewhat similar to the little girl in front of him.

"Huh?" Tong Jia Xili was a little puzzled, and after she understood, she said, "Pear blossoms are not my favorite flower."

Who said that if there is a word pear in the name, one must like pear blossoms?
"It's not the favorite flower, so what do you like the most?" Yinzhen tilted his head, somewhat unable to guess the mind of this eccentric little girl in front of him.

"Magnolia." Tong Jia Xili said without thinking. "Is that so?" Yinzhen still tilted his head, searching his memory for the appearance when he saw Magnolia.

"Everyone praises the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum." Yinzhen thought for a while, and said, "I don't know, why do you only like magnolia?"

"Magnolia is as white as jade, crystal clear and clean, and its shape resembles a lotus flower. When it blooms, it is fragrant and refreshing, and the blossoms are upward, so I like it."

"So that's the case." Yinzhen nodded earnestly, but then said regretfully: "Unfortunately... there seems to be no magnolia tree in Chengqian Palace."

"However..." Yinzhen changed the subject, with a smile on his lips, and said with a bit of radiance in his eyes: "Since Xili likes magnolias, then Yinzhen will plant magnolia trees in Chengqian Palace in the future. How are you?"

Tong Jia Xili was startled, and at the same time her pretty face blushed slightly, she never thought that Yinzhen would say this suddenly.

What do you plant a magnolia tree for her?
Could it be that he can give her whatever she likes?
Seeing that Tong Jia Xili hadn't spoken for a while, Yinzhen stretched out his little hand to poke Tong Jiaxili's little hand, and said, "Er Niang said that Yinzhen is an older brother and has to take care of his younger siblings."

"You are my cousin, so I will naturally take care of you."

Yinzhen, who looks like a little adult, seemed extraordinarily serious when he said this sentence.

Tong Jia Xili couldn't help but chuckle, showing her small mouth with missing front teeth, and said, "I know, cousin!"

Yinzhen giggled, but at the moment when he saw Tong Jia Xili smiling, he seemed to have discovered some unexpected joy, and suddenly shouted: "Oh, Xili, have you changed your teeth?"

!

Tong Jia Xili almost forgot!
Although she just turned six years old, she lost her teeth earlier.After the front teeth fell out a few days ago, Tong Jia Xili became more and more reluctant to speak.

As soon as he speaks, he doesn't say anything, and his appearance is stupid and ugly.

It was so easy to meet such a handsome cousin when he entered the palace today, but he let him show his embarrassed appearance.

Tong Jia Xili felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

"What are you yelling about!" Tong Jia Xili stood up and stomped her feet, pointing at Yinzhen with an air of fearlessness and said, "Don't laugh at me!"

Yinzhen shrank his neck when he heard the words, and reached out to hold his mouth.

"I'm not kidding you." Yinzhen flattened his mouth and frowned, "I changed my teeth late, so my mother is worried."

"Seeing that you have changed your teeth, why don't I envy you?"

...

"What's there to envy?" Seeing Yinzhen's "stupid" look, Tong Jia Xili couldn't help but smile and said, "When you reach your age, you will also have to change your teeth."

Yinzhen nodded vigorously, his dark eyes filled with seriousness.

Since then.This introverted, prudent yet lovely fourth elder brother has left an indelible impression on Tong Jia Xili's heart.

In Tong Jia's mansion, Shun Anyan had just mentioned the fourth elder brother, but saw the little sister in front of her was lost in memory, tilting her head and thinking about something.

At this time, Tong Jia Xili's mouth corners were filled with a smile, and his eyebrows and eyes were also curved.

Obviously, she thought of something that made her feel happy.

Shun Anyan sighed helplessly. Seeing her sister like this, she couldn't help but squat down after a while, looking at Tong Jia Xili at the same level.

"Sister, what are you thinking?"

Shun Anyan's sudden utterance naturally brought Tong Jia Xili back from her memories.

After time travel, Tong Jia Xili also has those memories from the past.Therefore, he couldn't help being a little more curious about the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who was so-called "cold-faced and iron-blooded" in history.

It seems that Yinzhen treats his little cousin very well!

"Brother." Tong Jia Xili came back to her senses, straightened her chest to meet Shun Anyan's eyes and asked, "When it's Chinese New Year this year, shall we also enter the palace to greet my aunt?"

The smile on Shun Anyan's face hesitated for a moment, and suddenly she frowned a little seriously.

"Don't you want to enter the palace anymore?" Shun An asked with a gentle face, but his tone was a bit more gloomy.

Because, he remembered the incident when Tong Jia Xili fell into the water.

That incident can be said to have caused quite a stir in the entire harem and the front court.

As Tong Jia Xili's elder brother, Shun Anyan naturally conducted a secret investigation after realizing the abnormality at the beginning.Therefore, Shun Anyan naturally felt very distressed about her sister's abnormal changes later.

And Tong Jia Xili also knew that her falling into the water was not that simple!
