Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 20

Although the relationship between Chuqing and Yinzhen seems to have recovered, there is a big knot in Chuqing's heart.In the past, she wished she could be with Si Si whenever she had the chance, and it didn't matter what she did, and she would create opportunities if she had no chance.Now, instead, the idea of ​​retreating and avoiding would arise from time to time.Although I still like it, it's just that this liking has more worries and less fearlessness.

Came to the stables of the palace in a mess of thoughts, Chu Qing looked at the heroic Yin Zhen who was riding on horseback in front of her.Holding the rein in hand, with a straight back, stalwart and stern, giving people an unapproachable feeling.But every time Chuqing sees him like this, there is always a twinge of distress in her heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Da da da, Yin Zhen's horse came to Chu Qing with a thud.

Chuqing took three steps back "shua", what a tall, handsome and mighty horse, just don't lick my tongue at me.In terms of height comparison, the gap between her and the steed in front of her is almost as big as Napoleon standing in front of the Eiffel Tower.

"Si Si, you look so tall!" Chu Qing raised her neck.

The small body is wrapped in a crane cloak inlaid with golden knurled flowers and fox fur in the snow, wearing a furry hat, and the pouty little face is flushed in the cold wind, and the curled eyelashes and feathers are fluttering on the watery peach eyes. Fluttering.

Yinzhen asked back, "Look?"

Chu Qing hurriedly said: "No, it's actually very tall. Hehe." Chu Qing felt that there was a change in the recent April Fourth, as if there was an extra hobby to set a trap for her.

Yinzhen smiled faintly, and looked at Xiao Gaozi.Xiao Gaozi hastily called someone over and knelt down in front of the horse.Chuqing stood and watched suspiciously.Xiao Gaozi bowed over, stretched out his arm to Chuqing for her to support, and said, "Little Gege, please!"

Chu Qing was a little embarrassed, was she going to step on someone else to get on the horse?Anyway, she is also from modern times, except for fighting, stepping on and riding others when she was a child, she is very ladylike when she grows up... Ahem, even if she is not a lady, she is still a good child.

Yinzhen held the rein loosely with one hand, and passed the other hand towards Chuqing, "Don't want to go out?"

Chuqing stared at Sisi's hand that reached out to her for the first time, and was startled. After regaining her senses, she decisively supported Xiao Gaozi, and stepped on that person's back unsteadily.

There was some uneasiness in my heart, but it was quickly washed away by the sense of security brought by Yinzhen holding her hand.Yinzhen's hands were very cold, Chu Qing picked up his palm without thinking and rubbed it in her small palm, and warmed his hands while rubbing.

Yinzhen lowered his head and pinched Chuqing's cheek, said with a light smile, "Okay, let's go!"

"Where are we going on April [-]?"

Yinzhen took the rein in his hand, wrapped Chuqing in the space surrounded by his arms, and said, "Go and see your thirteenth uncle."

Driving out of the mansion through the side door in the northwest, Chu Qing saw the long-lost street.After a while, I saw the steward of the palace leading a team of people to load something and rush ahead in an orderly manner.Chuqing turned her head to look at Yinzhen, who stared ahead with no emotion.

"Ah, I got it!" Chu Qing clapped her hands, "April [-] is going to send New Year's goods to Uncle Thirteen, right?"

Yinzhen casually responded with a "hmm".

Chu Qing complained and murmured: "April, why didn't you tell me earlier, the first time I went to see Uncle Shisan, I didn't even prepare a gift. How bad."

Yinzhen smiled slightly mockingly: "Oh? Are you going to send dew this time or a bottle made of snow?"

Chu Qing curled her lips, "It's the heart that counts! Besides, the thing that was given to Xue is not a bottle anymore. If it was given to Uncle Thirteen, it would have to be made with a sword."

Yinzhen said: "What do you know? Back then you were young and never met your Thirteenth Uncle."

Chu Qing said: "Anyway, a sword matches a hero, you can't go wrong."

"You're a big kid. I don't want to suffer at all in terms of words." Yinzhen shook his head lightly.

I don't know how long it took to ride the horse around, Chu Qing has been busy watching all kinds of traffic on the street.It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are extraordinarily many people on the street.Young and old come together, beauty and ugliness gather together.

Yinzhen reined in the reins and got off his horse.Chuqing turned her head to look, she didn't arrive.There are only various vendors and shops in front of you, bustling, beaming, and full of people.

"Come down." Yinzhen put his arms around Chuqing's waist and hugged her down.

"Is it almost there?" Chu Qing tugged at Yin Zhen's sleeve.

"Well. The crowd is crowded, so it's not suitable to ride a horse. Walk over." Just as Yinzhen was about to hold Chuqing's little hand, Chuqing cheered happily and trotted to the stalls selling all kinds of gadgets.

After Yinzhen stood for a while, a servant from the mansion came to help him lead the horse.Yinzhen looked after Chuqing and followed her leisurely.

"Ah, pea yellow, Sisi, I want to eat this!" Chu Qing stood in front of the stall and looked at Yinzhen expectantly.

"No." Yinzhen glanced at it, and said without negotiating.

Chuqing was a little discouraged for a moment, then saw the same thing again, and shouted excitedly, "Catches! Si Si, I want to eat this!"

"It doesn't work either." Yinzhen continued to be autocratic.

"Why not?" Chu Qing was not happy.What's the point of taking me to the street?A dignified prince is so stingy.

"You can't eat it."

"But I like to eat!"

After Yinzhen finished speaking, she continued to walk forward. After Chu Qing complained incomprehensibly, she caught up with Yinzhen.

Leisurely walked for a while.

"Fourth brother?!" A clear voice sounded, with joy in surprise.

Yinzhen turned his head sideways, and saw the visitor nodding his head slightly.

The seventeenth elder brother Yinli, followed by several guards and servants, walked through the crowd and came to Yinzhen with a smile.

"Yinli greeted the fourth brother. I haven't seen the fourth brother for a long time. How is the fourth brother?"

Yinzhen smiled lightly and said, "Very good, you don't have to worry about it at all. Why are you leaving the palace?"

Yin Li replied respectfully: "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, I want to bring some New Year's presents to Brother Thirteen, I just got out from him."

Yinzhen nodded and said: "Okay. It's not in vain that your thirteenth brother loved you before. Can Huang Ama ask for instructions?"

Yinli said: "Huang Ama knows I'm going, fourth brother don't worry. Seeing Huang Ama's appearance, I miss Thirteenth Brother very much. It's just... ah, Fourth Brother is going to Thirteenth Brother's house now Right? Why are you alone?"

Only then did Yinzhen realize that Chuqing had disappeared at some point.

"En." Yinzhen began to search for Chuqing with his eyes without any trace.

Yinli saw that the fourth brother had something to do, so he said, "My brother will visit the fourth brother and sister-in-law another day."

"Go." Yinzhen said lightly.

Simply ended the conversation with Yinli.Yin Zhen earnestly searched for Chu Qinglai.

The bustling streets, the noisy voices, the hawking, the cold temperature, the warm smell of steamed pastries, and the strong scent of wintersweet flowers.

Yinzhen was slightly absent-minded, and a deep sense of loneliness rose in his heart involuntarily.Quickly, he searched in several directions in the crowd, but he still didn't see Chu Qing's shadow.

"Chu'er!" An increasingly intense sense of uneasiness tightly enveloped Yin Zhen's heart.Accompanied by the anxious gaze, for a while there was Bo Nu in his heart to reprimand her after he found her, and for a while it was the determination to firmly hold the little girl's hand and not let her run around.
