Chapter 51 051

In early spring, a cool wind was blowing from the northwest, and three kites flew in the back garden of the Weiguo Mansion one after another.

Song Jianing was standing on the grass by the lake, looking up at his black eagle kite, slowly setting the string. Not far away, Yunfang’s red carp kite and Tan Xiangyu’s colorful butterfly kite are also slowly rising, red, green and green, not to mention so beautiful. Looking back on his eagle, Song Jianing really wanted to cry without tears.

What’s so good about multiple younger brothers? I have to hold my sister after walking for a while. I don’t feel distressed whether my sister is tired. Now he has to pick a kite. Pick a black and ugly eagle kite. Song Jianing doesn’t care. I’m ashamed to put it too high. Seeing that it was almost done, Song Jianing sat on the brocade cushion holding the string reel. Before he could sit firmly, Brother Mao came to grab it.

“You can’t pull it.” Song Jianing held her younger brother with one hand and raised it with the other.

“Yes!” Brother Mao was anxious, reaching out for enough, with a white face and watery black eyes. Song Jianing couldn’t refuse to see, so he held one end of the thread reel and gave the other end to his brother. Brother Mao was leaning on her sister, Xiao Pang moved around with the thread reel in his hand, and the eagle in the sky swayed along with him. Brother Mao was very happy, his mouth opened, and his saliva flowed out unknowingly.

Song Jianing took out the veil and wiped his brother’s mouth.

Tan Xiangyu’s colorful butterfly kite finally stabilized. She absently listened to her cousin Ting Fang talking about the housework, while looking at the back garden of the Shou Palace to adjust the position, and approaching the palace without a trace. The kite can’t fly too low, it won’t blow past low, but it can’t be too high, otherwise it will blow far. There are not many opportunities to get close to King Shou. What Tan Xiangyu has to do now is to make sure that the kite can fall into the Palace of Shou King. She has an excuse to pick up the kite, and maybe she can see the beautiful and rare prince.

When he came to a rockery, consciously the position was almost the same. Taking advantage of Ting Fang’s attention, Tan Xiangyu quickly took out a small blade from his sleeve, and with just one click, the tight kite string broke. When he loosened his hand, Tan Xiangyu screamed, staring nervously at the kite that was raised a lot in an instant, and begged silently: “Royal Palace, Palace…”

It’s a pity that the sky failed, or Tan Xiangyu underestimated the high-altitude wind. The beautiful colorful butterfly kite was getting smaller and smaller. It flew far away from Guogong Mansion and Shouwang Mansion before falling down in a whirl. I don’t know where it went. Tan Xiangyu bit her lips in annoyance, and when she was hesitant to ask for a kite from her cousin, an exclamation came from the lake.

Tan Xiangyu turned his head, halfway around, and saw that the black eagle in the sky jumped up suddenly. After a few spins, he planted his head in the back garden of the Shou Palace!

Tan Xiangyu was surprised, happy, and suspicious. The happy thing was that no matter who got the kite in, she could go to the palace to fetch it. But what was surprised was that Song Jianing also had the same mind, trying to attract the prince of longevity?

She looked over with a complicated mood, and saw Song Jianing’s two maids, Jiu’er, and Mao Ge’er’s nurse, all running wildly chasing the kite. The kite flies in the sky, the string reel has not been too far away from the ground, but the string reel has been carried by the kite and has floated on the lake. The maids can only run along the lakeshore. Look at Song Jianing, head down, I don’t know that I’m talking with Brother Mao. Say what.

Song Jianing is… coaxing her younger brother.

Blame her, I just saw Tan Xiangyu’s kite flying away, and I couldn’t help but let go. Just as my brother pulled aside, the thread reel completely left her hand. The kite flew high and pulled the people on the ground with a strong force. Brother Mao was frightened by the strength, and suddenly let go, so the eagle kite ran away, and Brother Mao cried, crying. , Earth-shattering noise.

“Brother Maoer doesn’t cry, my sister will find you a bigger eagle.” Song Jianing hurriedly wiped tears to her younger brother.

“Don’t…”

Brother Mao leaned his head back, the big teardrops rolled down like money, his mouth opened so that he could stuff the thread reel in, and he cried in the direction the eagle flew away. Song Jianing hugged her younger brother tightly and watched her kite while coaxing him, and then saw that “eagle” boldly planted into the palace of Shouwang, the future emperor’s territory!

Song Jianing was so scared that his younger brother couldn’t bother to coax him. Brother Mao couldn’t hear her sister’s voice and suddenly stopped crying. He blinked and looked at the sky. He looked around and didn’t see the eagle, but only saw the big red carp of the third sister, Mao. My brother cried more suddenly. The boy was so miserable, Brother Shang glanced at the kite he hadn’t set up yet, and wanted to give it to his younger brother, but he was very reluctant. The third girl Yunfang on one side was amused by Brother Mao and bent over, covering her mouth. Let Mao brother hear it.

Ting Fang was the first to react, and pressed her voice to remind Shuang’er: “Quickly, quickly pull the kite back!” The string reel is here. If the kite can be retrieved before the people in Shouwang’s Mansion find it, it will be fine.

The nurses of Shuang’er, Jiu’er, and Brother Mao ran faster, but just as Shuang’er was about to find the thread reel, a shrill yell suddenly came from the wall next door: “Bold, who ran into the prince?” That voice is different from the sweetness of a woman, and it sounds like a father-in-law.

Shuang’er was so frightened that she didn’t dare to speak out. Jiu’er and the nurse looked at each other. The nurse was older and quietly motioned to Jiu’er to report to the girls. She replied in fear, “The lord, forgive me, our girl just now I accidentally loosened the thread reel and accidentally disturbed the prince… prince, did you not hit the prince?”

Thinking of this possibility, the nursing mother’s legs began to weaken.

“Which girl? Tell her to come and apologize to the prince.” The opposite father-in-law said mercilessly.

“Yes, yes, the slave and maid will report it!” The nurse ran away in a panic.

Brother Mao was still crying. Song Jianing was so upset that he originally expected Lord Shou to be a reasonable and considerate and peaceful prince. He probably wouldn’t blame them too much. After listening to the trembling narration of the nurse, the Shou Wang sternly asked her to apologize. , Song Jianing immediately lost his confidence. He is the prince, the future emperor, and the emperor’s temper, can she figure it out? In case the kite really hits Shouwang…

Song Jianing hurriedly took her younger brother to see her mother.

“Why are you so careless?” Before Lin returned to his senses, Aunt Tan scolded her first, staring at Song Jianing displeased. This is the rhetoric she had prepared a long time ago, but the person who was reprimanded by her had changed from a daughter who had missed his hand to an unexpectedly successful Song Jianing.

Song Jianing ignored her and only explained to her mother: “Mother, I didn’t mean it, I…”

“It’s all my fault, if it wasn’t for my kite to let go, my cousin Jianing wouldn’t be distracted.” Tan Xiangyu suddenly walked to Song Jianing and took the fault to herself with a blank face.

Song Jianing didn’t have much friendship with her. After all, Tan Xiangyu did not come to the government office many times. The two only knew each other. Now that Tan Xiangyu was willing to bear the crime with her, Song Jianing suddenly felt that this cousin was pretty good, and she secretly pinched her. Aunt Tan on her face is different.

“Sister Xiangyu don’t say that, blame me for being careless.” Song Jianing smiled gratefully at Tan Xiangyu.

Her apricot eyes were clear and pure, and Tan Xiangyu looked down with a guilty conscience. She was not thinking about Song Jianing, but had to take part of her mistakes, so that she had a reason to go to the Shou Palace to make amends. It was mother and daughter. Aunt Tan noticed her daughter’s expression, and she suddenly realized that she was busy with her daughter, and then turned to Lin and said, “Madam, Xiangyu is also wrong. Can’t let Jianing take care of her. In this way, let’s do the same. Let’s take a trip to the palace.”

Lin didn’t say a word for a while, looking at the aggrieved little son in his arms, but his thoughts drifted to Guo Boyan, who was far in the northwest.

The Lin family was a commoner and didn’t understand the important affairs of the court, but after marrying Guo Boyan for so long, he had been affected by Guo Boyan’s attitude towards several princes, and the Lin family gradually figured out some things. Guo Boyan doesn’t want to get too close to any prince. Take today’s case as an example. The children made mistakes, and it is right to apologize. Shou Wang was able to preside over justice for her daughter when Princess Duanhui bullied her daughter. A fair and reasonable prince, at most two words of admonishment to the children. But when she went with Aunt Tan, this matter became the communication between Guogong’s Mansion and Shouwang’s Mansion, and it might cause suspicion if it spread out.

With an idea, Lin patted his son lightly, and said to Aunt Tan: “Madam is serious, Jianing missed the kite. It was just a minor mistake. Tell her to take Brother Mao’er to admit a mistake. Let’s When I went there, I seemed to be intriguing.” Lin said this, because he really thought about Aunt Tan. His daughter is only thirteen, and the younger brother with tearful eyes is two children. Shou Wang will not pay much attention to it. . Tan Xiangyu is sixteen now. Firstly, he should avoid suspicion. Secondly, what if he is caught by the king of life?

It is related to Tan Xiangyu’s marriage, and Tan Xiangyu is the cousin of the elder son. Lin doesn’t want to get along, so that she will be complained by the son.

Aunt Tan was wary of Lin. Deliberately setting aside her flowery daughter, could it be that the widow of Lin’s life is not enough to be the lady of the country, and she wished to make a small daughter of a small family be the concubine of life? No wonder she raised her daughter to look like a fox.

Shouwang is her long-time son-in-law in her relationship. Aunt Tan will never let Lin take it. She thought for a moment and said: “Madam’s words are reasonable, but the matter is because of Xiangyu. Let Xiangyu go with Jianing. , The sisters will be a companion, so you won’t be afraid of too many people.”

Lin pondered, his eyes swept across Ting Fang inadvertently.

Ting Fang’s thoughts are delicate, and vaguely guessed her mother’s scruples, she persuaded: “Mother, let the cousin go with An’an.” She is going to get married and can’t see a foreigner, but this time flying a kite was the idea of ​​her and her cousin. She couldn’t ask the fourth sister to bear the anger of the king of life alone, so she had to let her cousin take the place of her to share with the fourth sister.

Tan Xiangyu also took the initiative to express his willingness to go with him.

Since Aunt Tan insisted on her daughter to go, and Ting Fang testified for her, Lin stopped dissuading her, and carefully told Song Jianing, then bowed her head to coax her son: “Sister will take you to the palace to fetch the eagle kite, and Brother Mao will listen to her sister. , Don’t cry anymore.”

Brother Mao nodded obediently, as long as he could find the eagle, he would listen to his sister.

Lin helped his son wipe the crying face, and together with Aunt Tan sent the three children out of the Guogong Mansion and arranged for the nursing mother to accompany Qiuyue.

Song Jianing took her younger brother and walked to the majestic Palace of Shou Wang. She turned her head and smiled at her mother who was watching her on the opposite side, and went in nervously.
