Chapter 16: Touching Porcelain
Wen Hao couldn't help but think of one person who was related to Prince Jing's Mansion but different from his previous life: Prince Jing's son Qi Shuo.
Prince Jing's family moved next door to the general's mansion eight years ago.
At that time, Wen Hao was eight years old and Qi Shuo was eleven years old.
In Wen Hao's impression, this Prince Jing, whom he knew in childhood, was weak and quiet, and had little presence among the children in this area.
Therefore, the impression was not deep, it was just an acquaintance.
Now, she had to take it seriously.
Was it her ability to speak that caused the change in Prince Jing, or did the change come from Prince Jing himself?
After having lunch with the old lady at the general's residence, Lin did not take Sister Wen back home, but kept her there for an afternoon nap.
This is probably the advantage of being an only daughter. Since Lin got married, not only has her boudoir not changed at all, but Wen Chan and Wen Hao also had their own courtyard in the general's mansion after they were born.
Wen Hao returned to his room and felt no desire to sleep, so he told Baozhu, "I'm going to take a walk in the garden. If anyone comes looking for me, tell them I've gone to bed."
The garden of the general's mansion is very large. At this time of year, the garden is full of flowers and lush vegetation.
There were few people in the garden in the afternoon. Wen Hao walked and stopped, and unknowingly walked to the wall separating him from Prince Jing's Mansion.
She was not familiar with Prince Jing, and after her mother declined the marriage proposal from Prince Jing's Mansion, it would undoubtedly be awkward for her to deal with him.
Wen Hao looked up at the wall for a while, then jumped.
Forget it, it’s better to do more than to think more, let’s observe first.
The girl was as nimble as a rabbit. With a light jump, she climbed up the wall with both hands, then let go of her hands and fell back to the ground.
She leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.
What's wrong with Prince Jing? Why is he on the other side of the wall?
Wen Hao has been mute since childhood, so his impatient temper has been smoothed out, but at this moment he was a little angry.
She even suspected that Prince Jing did it on purpose.
But if you think about it rationally, it's unlikely.
Prince Jing couldn't predict the future, so how could he know that she would climb over the wall again at this time?
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and was not seen.
On the other side of the wall, a young man holding a scroll raised his eyes and glanced at the empty wall, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Young Master, it's a bit sunny in the afternoon. You might as well go back to your room." The servant Changshun advised.
"It's so comfortable to bask in the spring sun, not to mention the shade of the trees." The boy didn't move, but leaned back in the wicker rocking chair and continued reading.
Changshun really couldn't understand the prince's hobbies.
The huge palace is full of good places. Why does the prince like to read and rest here?
"Young Master, please be careful that Miss Wen II might climb over the wall again and fall on you." The servant was obviously still brooding over the injury that the Young Master had suffered that day, and he did not notice the undercurrents that had just occurred.
The young man glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't gossip. It was just a coincidence that day."
"I see Miss Wen is very skilled at climbing the wall..."
Wen Hao put his ear to the wall and felt a little awkward when he heard the conversation between the master and servant.
I didn't expect to be despised by the servant of Prince Jing.
Prince Jing... is quite kind.
There was no more sound coming from the wall. Wen Hao walked lightly to a tree not far away and climbed up nimbly.
With the branches and leaves blocking the view, she could finally take a look at the situation with peace of mind.
There was a laurel tree on the other side of the wall. Prince Jing was sitting in a rocking chair under the tree, dozing with his eyes closed, with an open book placed quietly in front of him.
The spring breeze ruffles the edge of the young man's robe, bringing peace and beauty.
Wen Hao was silent for a moment.
It turns out that the other side of the wall is where Prince Jing takes a break.
The preferences of Prince Jing were quite different from those of the noble young men she had met.
Thinking that Prince Jing had a heart disease at such a young age, Wen Hao felt a little sympathy.
She had long experienced how miserable it was to be without a healthy body.
But this did not eliminate her doubts about Prince Jing.
Prince Jing has even reached the point of hiring a famous doctor, so why was he able to travel far away in his previous life?
She sat on a tree branch, gazing at the young man from afar, lost in thought, and accidentally met a pair of black eyes.
Wen Hao almost fell from the tree.
Discovered!
She tried to make amends, holding onto a tree branch and looking away as if nothing had happened, but she glanced at the boy out of the corner of her eye and found that he was still looking at her.
He sat there for a while like a warm clay sculpture, then made up his mind and jumped down from the tree.
On the other side of the wall, Qi Shuo saw Wen Hao suddenly jump down from the tree and couldn't help but stand up.
The servant Changshun was taken aback by the prince's sudden action: "Prince, what's wrong?"
Qi Shuo stared at something and said in a calm tone, "Nothing."
Last time I jumped from the wall and twisted my ankle, this time I jumped from a higher tree...
"Is the prince feeling unwell?" Seeing Qi Shuo looking unhappy, Changshun looked worried.
"Stop nagging." Qi Shuo scolded, his eyes flashing slightly, "Changshun."
"Your Highness, please give your orders."
"I'm a little thirsty. Go back and get my usual tea set."
Changshun was very busy.
At the top of the wall, Wen Hao poked his head out again, and seeing that there was no one else around Qi Shuo, he jumped over the wall neatly.
The ground of Prince Jing's Mansion was very solid, but looking at the young man walking towards her, her heart felt a little uneasy.
Won’t Prince Jing think she’s crazy later?
On second thought, since I've already been seen, I might as well go for it and get it cleared up.
When the young man stood in front of him, Wen Hao regained his composure: "Prince."
Qi Shuo was silent for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "If Miss Wen has anything to say, we can go over there."
Wen Hao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a flower stand. The roses were newly green at this time, which seemed to be a convenient place to talk.
But Prince Jing was a little too calm. When he saw her climbing over the wall to see him, he looked as usual.
She tried to figure out what the other person was thinking, but couldn't fathom its depth.
The two of them stopped at the flower stand, and Qi Shuo asked with a smile, "Second Miss Wen is visiting today, what's the matter?"
Visit...
Wen Hao was speechless for a moment.
I've never seen anyone who is so good at giving others a way out.
"I—" Wen Hao pursed his lips and asked boldly, "When did the prince develop a heart disease?"
Qi Shuo was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect her to ask this.
Once you have started talking, you won’t have to worry about the rest.
"I heard today that a famous doctor came to the palace, and I was a little curious."
Qi Shuo smiled: "I'm a little curious too."
"What is the prince curious about?"
"I'm curious why Miss Wen is curious about this."
"The prince and I have known each other since childhood. Now that I can speak, I heard that the prince suffers from heart disease. It can be regarded as... out of curiosity and concern." Wen Hao gave a reason shamelessly.
"It turns out that Miss Wen Er sympathizes with me." Qi Shuo looked at her deeply.
Wen Hao calmed himself down and said calmly, "The prince is in his prime, and who wouldn't feel sorry for him suffering from a heart disease?"
"Miss Wen, do you really want to know?" Qi Shuo asked with a smile.
Wen Hao nodded slightly.
The young man sighed, "I didn't have this disease originally. But that day, Miss Wen suddenly fell from the wall, and I don't know why she got so scared that she developed a heart disease."
Wen Hao was dumbfounded.
Were you scared by her?
She suspected that Prince Jing was trying to scam people!
