Chapter Eighty Departure
The people in Taoge suddenly want to move away, and everyone has a lot of ideas about it.
Some people feel envious, the second prince has established a family, and those who have been serving by his side for so long are all veterans. In the future, they will surely have a good career. Moreover, once this is made public, the rules will be more relaxed than in the palace.
The crown prince still doesn't know when it will be his turn.
Some people think it's good, the second prince moved out, Songtao Pavilion is empty, maybe the eighth prince will move to the opposite courtyard, then Huaye House will be more spacious. Everyone's accommodation will also be more spacious. It's okay in winter, but in summer, the whole house smells, it's really unbearable.
Some people feel reluctant to part with it.
For example, the birth of the tide.
With fragrance all her way
From now on, it won't be as easy to meet each other like we do now. Although we are separated by the courtyard now, I can still see her in just a few steps. Once Huan Xiang leaves the palace, she will be inside and how can we possibly meet?
Alright, even if the Fourth Prince has moved out of the palace and into his own estate, it's not that easy for people to come and go between the two royal estates.
Thinking of being in the palace together, it's hard to see each other picking pearls, and now they are about to part ways with a lingering fragrance.
The tide understands that people's lives come and go without a constant principle.
But...
When it comes to the crunch, I really don't want to give up.
Chao Sheng wrote down all the characters he was familiar with, fearing that after being exposed to them later, he wouldn't be able to recognize them. He even went so far as to add some illustrations. For example, next to the character for "apple", he drew an apple. However, most of the characters were too complex and abstract, making it impossible to draw them. But there was a good solution: using homophones to label the characters, with additional notes afterwards.
In short, she managed to write down almost all the commonly used characters. Because she couldn't let anyone see them and didn't have much spare time, she stayed up late with bloodshot eyes until she finished writing.
Because... she really didn't have anything else that could serve as a farewell gift.
She has no money and nothing of value.
She had a lot more to say, but when it came to her lips, she could only repeat: "Be careful. Don't stick your head out, don't be careless, and keeping your life is more important than anything."
Han Xun was calmer than her: "I know... you're the same."
Just like the song says, from now on we'll be in two different places, each taking care of ourselves and wishing each other peace.
Just as the two of them were about to turn into rabbits, Cai Sheng hastily changed the subject: "By the way, if you find anything delicious or fun outside, don't secretly keep it all to yourself, remember to save a share for me."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you."
In April, the second prince's mansion was renovated and redecorated. It took the people from Songtao Pavilion seven or eight days to completely move out all the things. Who would have thought that the second prince had so many things? Most of them were trivial items that were packed up without being left behind. Now in Huaye Residence, many trunks in the storage room are filled with the fourth prince's old belongings, including worn-out clothes, shoes, used items, and many decorations, boxes, a large number of fabrics, old household items... Chunmo is indeed a thrifty person, she has kept many things that could have been thrown away by the servants.
The second prince moved away, and Han Xiang had to follow him too.
She knew that Xun would also be worried about her in the palace.
Maybe when she has gone through as much separation and loss as Aunt Li, she will be different from now.
The eighth prince was reluctant to see the second prince move away from Yiyi. The second prince was in a good mood and comforted him, saying: "Second brother hasn't moved far, you now have another place to go from now on. If you want to play or eat well, just bring someone out of the palace to find me."
The eighth prince immediately changed his expression upon hearing something delicious and fun: "Really? Can I go find you?"
The second prince chuckled: "You're still young, it's not very convenient for you to come by yourself, you can ask your fourth brother to bring you here."
"The eighth prince said seriously: 'Then I'll remember it, second brother promised and can't go back on his word.'"
The second prince patted his chest and said with a big smile: "Who am I? When have I ever spoken without counting the cost?"
The eighth prince was overjoyed and thought he should congratulate his brother on getting married. He raised his two hands in a gesture of respect: "Congratulations to my second brother, congratulations! Wishing you and your wife a hundred years of harmony, and when you get married that day, be sure to give me a cup of wedding wine to drink."
The second prince was taken aback, and the fourth prince couldn't help but laugh, rubbing his head: "You're still so young, yet you're already thinking about wedding wine?"
The second prince laughed and said: "Alright, as long as you're not afraid of spicy food, I'll give you a jar of celebratory wine, drink it slowly."
Younger brother doesn't understand things, older brother is out of tune.
However, after this stir, the sorrow of parting has been dispelled a lot. The second prince looked back at the gate of Songtao Pavilion and sighed: "I've lived here for a few years, but I'm really reluctant to leave."
The eighth prince unexpectedly said: "Why doesn't second brother compose a poem as a keepsake?"
He didn't know where he heard it from, but felt that whenever bidding farewell or parting ways, one should write a poem and also break off a willow branch.
This exposed the Second Prince's weakness, how could he write poetry?
The second prince felt his face burning with shame, patted the chair and said: "Alright, it's getting late, missing the timing is not good. The people from the Observatory said I have to move in before noon, and also go through a set of messy formalities in the main hall."
The fourth prince said with a good understanding: "Second brother, hurry up and don't miss the good time. In two days, I'll make an appointment with the fifth brother and others to go to your new house to congratulate you."
The eighth prince's words drove his brother to an early grave, yet he remained oblivious, waving goodbye to his brother with a small hand.
Chao Sheng only felt a hollow feeling in her heart, thinking that it was good for Huan Xun to leave, but also worried whether the new environment would be more treacherous and if she could handle it.
Watching the Second Prince and his entourage walk away, the Fourth Prince didn't immediately enter the door, instead standing outside Songtao Pavilion for a while.
Chun Mo said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, can we still go to Chongwen Pavilion today?"
"Not going, I've already taken time off."
The eighth prince suddenly became happy: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, take me to fly a kite"
The fourth prince nodded and said, "Alright, where are we going?"
The eighth prince thought for a moment and said crisply: "How about going to Biyu Pool?"
The Biyu Pool is not in the East Palace, but inside the palace.
The eighth prince probably heard someone say that the scenery by the Biyu Pool is good, so he suddenly came up with this sentence.
"Alright, let's get ready and go to Biyu Pool."
The eighth prince ran back: "Let's go fly a kite! Let's go fly a kite! Dongzhi, quickly bring out my big goldfish!"
The fourth prince naturally had to bring someone to serve him, and apart from Xiao Shun and the others, Chao Sheng was also named.
The fourth prince also had people bring out kites from the house, probably thinking that it wouldn't hurt to have more on hand. Chun Mo brought out two or three for selection: one was a butterfly kite, one was an eagle kite, and another was a hexagonal kite with a long tail.
It's been a long time since Chao Sheng came to the palace - the last time he was summoned for questioning can't be counted, that place doesn't seem like the palace.
The garden is just right, in the late spring season, the sunshine on the body is warm and hot, the greenery is layered, the flowers have reached the end of their blooming period, but they are even more brilliant.
The eighth prince ran along the edge of the Biyu Pool, laughing and playing, with a large goldfish in his hand that was blown by the wind to make a rustling sound. The eunuchs and palace maids behind him also ran after him, fearing that he would fall or get hurt. The eunuchs were fine, but the palace maids' physical strength couldn't keep up, the eighth prince looked small, but his short legs moved quickly, Winter paper ran so fast that her hair was scattered, sweat came out and washed away the powder on her face
So Chao Sheng never wore makeup in her daily life.
Besides, when working in the kitchen, you shouldn't be wearing nail polish anyway.
If the powder on your face falls into the noodles you're cooking... Cough cough, of course, it shouldn't make a difference in taste.
Or maybe the fragrance of the hand cream was transferred to the cage... that can be smelled.
At least the fourth prince must have smelled it, this person has a dog nose. When Chao Sheng secretly gave Hanyin a writing book in the house, the fourth prince smelled a ink smell on her body and asked her: "Did you draw flowers?"
Listen, she has already washed her hands several times and even used soap.
The little eunuch flew a kite, and the eighth prince clapped his hands on one side, shouting: "Higher, higher!"
When the kite was stable, he handed over the line axis wrapped in a cloth handkerchief.
The kite that the second prince is flying was put up by Xiao Shun. Don't look at how windy it is, and the string is thin, but this isn't an easy job. When the wind gets strong, the string can get out of control, and if you're not careful, some people's hands will be cut and injured by the string.
She raised her head and looked up at the sky, the sunlight was dazzling, she only took a glance, then quickly lowered her head, scrunched up her face, and her eyes stung.
In your previous life, your eyes weren't so afraid of light.
The fourth prince noticed her wiping away tears and asked: "What's wrong?"
The sun is shining too brightly.
Looking at the expression of the fourth prince, it seemed like he didn't quite believe her words.
Uh, does she think this is the same as the classic "sand in her eyes"?
What's wrong with her that she has to cry?
Alright, if there's anything to count on, then Xiangyun leaving can be counted as one too.
Well, let's just say she was secretly crying in sorrow then.
The fourth prince paused for a moment and said: "There will be other opportunities to meet in the future, don't be so sad."
See, I was right, it's just being misunderstood.
The eighth prince was delighted, but children are always fond of new things and soon lost interest in his big goldfish, and started playing with the long-tailed hexagonal kite brought by the fourth prince. This is not easy to grasp balance, but the long tail swayed in the air, more vivid than the goldfish.
Chao Sheng narrowed his eyes and took another look, and as a result, this kite looked like a jellyfish...
Just one glance and she was on the verge of tears again.
Chao Sheng covered his eyes, and the Fourth Prince said, "You go sit over there."
This sentence sounds... um, it has a somewhat gentle tone to it.
Chao Sheng felt a little dizzy, probably due to looking up just now.
She also heard someone calling her name.
Is it an auditory hallucination?
No, it's not hallucination.
Chao Sheng suddenly turned around, Cai Zhen was wearing a pink palace dress, and was waving at her vigorously from across the Bi Yu pool.
The tide was stunned and motionless, this time tears were genuine.
Zhai Zhu waved her hand for a while, she wanted to come over and make a big circle, Chao Sheng saw her holding up her skirt and running two steps, then stopped with some concern, changed to fast walking.
Why isn't there a bridge over this pool?
What's the point of digging a pool so wide for nothing? It's really not taking people's labor seriously.
It took a whole cup of tea's worth of effort for them to finally meet, and Cao Sheng stumbled forward a few steps, their hands finally clasping together.
"Tide, is it born?" Zhai Zhu gasped: "I thought I saw it wrong"
