Chapter 17 Rockery
Mrs. Qi didn't say anything about it, but she didn't let Xiaodong show up. If she really wanted to see her, she could take a look through the screen.

Zhao Lu took Xiaodong's hand and moved forward, whispering: "Qi's mother is very lenient with you, but with me, you will be Ding Mao or Ding Mao, and you will never miss a single mistake."

Xiaodong pursed her lips and smiled.

The stricter the Qi family, the more responsible it is to Zhao Luyue.This mother Qi must have regarded "a loving mother who loses her children" as a motto and a beacon, and severely punished Zhao Lu's little laziness and minor problems, and would never tolerate it.Zhao Lu is going to be the king of the county in the future, and the Qi family naturally hopes that he will be rigorous and orderly, and become a talent soon.As for herself - she's a girl, to put it bluntly, she won't be considered a member of the palace once she gets married in the future, so the Qi family will naturally be lenient towards herself.

"Sister, just stand here, look, from here, it's very clear outside, but you can't be seen outside."

After Zhao Lu settled her down, he ordered someone to invite the two sons of the Luo family in.

Xiaodong stands in the best position. In front of her nose is a huge screen with high-quality yarn, embroidered with mountains, rivers and rivers. She stands behind the screen and can see the outside at a glance, but Zhao Lu said that the inside cannot be seen from the outside—— This is certainly due to the fact that the outside is bright and the inside is dark, but there may be some mystery behind this screen.

From far away, Xiaodong could hear footsteps, no one in the palace walked so quietly, even the little girl knew how to walk without startling the dust, and knew what it means to be quiet and nourish one's spirit.The footsteps were so heavy and noisy that it sounded like a bison—

Then it suddenly went dark.

That's right, it's dark.

Those two people had already stood at the door, and the sunlight was shining on the square bricks under the door, and the bright light was completely blocked.

It's like closing the door all of a sudden.

Xiaodong suppressed a smile, thinking that he deserves to be a general.

Moreover, the two brothers moved in unison, advancing and retreating at the same time. It is conceivable that if there is a fight, they will go side by side.Well, I really can't leave my brother when I fight a tiger.

Those two people had very loud voices, they clasped their fists together and said, "I have seen the prince!"

Oh, Xiaodong only felt that his ears were buzzing. He knew that these two came to pay a visit, but he didn't know that he thought they were here to seek revenge.

Although Zhao Lu is not very old, he is the prince after all. Courtesy is a compulsory course when dealing with people. He said with a smile, "You two don't need to be polite. Please sit down. Why are you free to come and find me today?"

The brothers of the Luo family sat down at the side, the eldest pushed the second child, and the second child pushed the eldest. In the end, Luo Xiao, who was still the elder brother, said, "It's rare that the weather is good today, and the son didn't go out for a walk?"

This greeting was dry and blunt, not like an invitation but a question. Before Zhao Lu spoke, Xiaodong covered her mouth. She couldn't help laughing, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Everything seen through the screen became soft and blurred, like an old movie.The sun slanted on a corner of the screen, and the brocade threads on it gleamed, making the gauze screen even more transparent, almost like a glass.

Xiaodong was a little dazed.

... In the past few days, she has never felt too real.In this era, in this place, she has always felt like an outsider.

Just like what she sees through the screen now.

It seems that you can touch it with your hand, but there is always a layer in the middle.

Hong Ling tugged at her, Xiaodong didn't look any further, and followed her out from behind.

Hong Ling was a little strange, she looked at the Princess and smiled just now, but after she came out she was in a bad mood, with her head drooping, and she walked listlessly.

Hong Ling couldn't figure out Xiaodong's thoughts, but just thought, why is the princess unhappy?Could it be that the son went to accompany the guest and she left the order, so she was in a bad mood?
Hong Ling led her and said, "Princess Princess, let's go and play with Miss Shen?"

Xiaodong is dispensable, nodded.Hong Ling took her by the hand to look for Shen Fang and Shen Qiang.The other maidservants followed behind, holding cloaks, hand stoves, snack boxes and other odds and ends.

On the way, they met Mrs. Ming, who came from the corridor with a few maids.The weather was warm, and Mrs. Ming was wearing a magenta dress, which looked like it was about to burst into flames in the sun.

It's really a narrow road.

People on both sides froze for a moment, then greeted each other bluntly.

Mrs. Ming smiled brightly, greeted Xiao Dong, and said, "Would you like to sit with me, the county magistrate? The noble concubine in the palace has enjoyed new tea..."

Xiaodong blinked, turned his head and ran away.

Hong Ling and the others rushed to catch up, leaving Mrs. Ming in the middle of her speech.

"Princess, don't run, be careful to fall."

Hong Ling was out of breath after chasing her.Little Dongren is short, but he can run really fast.

"Princess, princess."

Xiaodong paused, she quickly turned a corner, and got into the cave in the rockery.

Hong Ling and the others who were chasing behind did not pay attention, and continued to chase along the gravel road.

Xiaodong couldn't say why, probably because the feeling behind the screen just now made her feel uncomfortable.

She and Zhao Lu, and others, seem to be in two worlds, they are all on the other side of the screen, and she is the only one standing in the darkness where the sun cannot shine.

It may also be that Mrs. Ming's gaze and tone made her uncomfortable.

In this palace, not everyone is kind to her.

Xiaodong sat down on a rock sullenly.

The sun shines in from the rock gap above his head, Xiaodong looks at the rock he is sitting on.

Even if there is the sun, just such a ray, it is impossible to illuminate the whole stone so warmly, right?

Also, it's not like the temperature of a stone that has been exposed to the sun—well, it's more like someone has sat here before, and the body temperature has ironed the stone.

Xiaodong turned her head to look, yes, this place is very clean, there is no dust and no peculiar smell.

The piles of rockery rocks above the head are not so airtight, the sunlight shines in through the pores, and the caves are not so dark. The scattered light spots on the ground look like golden mice, which seem to jump up and run away at any time.

The cave is not deep, and there is a young man standing there. The fine golden sunlight seems to have sprinkled countless gold powders on his ordinary clothes, making him like every girl's boudoir dream, handsome and shining. flash.

"Brother Jing?"

Xiaodong was so shocked by the thunder that he wanted to spit on himself.

What kind of name is this, no, I have to think of a suitable name to replace this, otherwise I will tremble once I call it.

What is this cat doing here?
"It's quiet here, I'll read a book here for a while."

Well, it's pretty quiet here.

Xiaodong looked at the few books lying on the stone beside him, some were thin and some were thick, they were all old books, but the owner must have cherished them very much, the books didn't look damaged at all.

Xiaodong took a step closer, quietly but quietly took a step to the side, and asked softly, "Why did the princess come here?"

Huh?Why are you still blocking her from seeing it?

Ordinarily, she is just a child who has just started to learn to read, even if Shen Jing shows her the book, she may not understand it.

He did this clearly out of conscience.

If you read the books of sages and sages, do you still need to feel guilty?
Xiaodong tugged on his sleeve, and said childishly, "Brother Jing, give me a hug."

Shen Jing's expression at this moment seemed to have an egg choked in his throat.

Xiaodong has always been well-behaved, but she doesn't get close to people casually.And when Shen Jing was in Shen's house, she rarely had time to play with her younger cousins ​​- such things as holding a baby, um, shouldn't be difficult.
