Chu Yunqing naturally thought of something and decided to do it. He went straight to the Imperial College as soon as he left the house.

At this time, of course dinner was served in the Imperial College, and the aroma of food filled the air.

Chu Yunqing walked on the stone path and sniffed with his nose.

Of course he didn't come in through the front door this time. To avoid trouble, he climbed over the wall directly. Some students passing by would occasionally look at him, but no one said anything.

Chu Yunqing went in the direction of the flower garden he visited last time. He felt that based on Chu Huanyu's temperament, he should still be there at this time.

But he missed it, or in other words, there was someone in the flower garden at this time, but it was not Chu Huanyu.

A young man was eating, and sitting opposite him was a little girl of five or six years old.

This young man is not bad looking, with a dignified appearance, but his sleeves are rolled up, his feet are bare, and there is still some mud on his feet, which is obviously caused by handling flowers and plants.

He was wearing a Confucian shirt from the Imperial College, and there were no jade pendants, sachets or other decorations on his body. It was hard to tell that he was from a wealthy family, but judging from the way this man was squatting and eating, he looked like he was devouring his food.

What a rich family background.

This man has little temperament and looks more like a man with mud legs tending the garden.

But this is a judgment that ordinary people would make. Chu Yunqing saw that although the other party was stained with dirt, he could still see the delicate skin. Even though there was mud on his feet and body, he could still wash his hands cleanly, and that

Neatly manicured and stain-free nails.

Of course, there are also the clean roots behind the ears under the slightly messy sideburns.

These are all areas that are easily overlooked, and are also areas where people who are truly pampered are easily different from ordinary people.

Ordinary people don't take care of their nails deliberately. If they are really farmers tending flowers and plants, their hands will be rough and there will be mud in their nails.

Then there are ordinary people. It is not easy to work in winter. After a hard day's work, they simply don't have the patience to take a hot bath or have the conditions to take a bath. Therefore, the area behind the ears is the most likely place for dirt to grow.

In short, the young man in front of me is actually a rich young man with tender skin and tender flesh.

As for the little girl opposite him.

She is white and tender, looks cute and pleasant, but is a little thin, and she doesn't like eating very much. At this time, she is chewing a winter pear, sitting on the bench, her legs are shaking, and her eyes are looking at herself.

Eyes like black stones, very clean.

She was dressed more delicately, with fine fabrics, and a sachet embroidered with gold rims hung around her waist. It looked like it was embroidered with a duck? It should be a mandarin duck.

Chu Yunqing felt that the identities of these two people should be unusual.

I heard from Chu Huanyu that this flower garden belongs to the second prince, so these two people may be friends of the second prince's faction.

Therefore, Chu Yunqing must have this etiquette.

"Student, excuse me." He clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder where Chu Huanyu is?"

The young man was facing him sideways and had noticed someone coming. At this time, he looked over after hearing the words.

His mouth was full, his cheeks bulging, and he looked at Chu Yunqing while chewing.

"Who are you?" he asked vaguely.

Chu Yunqing actually didn't like talking while eating, but after all, he was the one who asked for advice first, and he couldn't control what others did.

Therefore, he still said gently: "I am his friend, and I came to see him for something."

"Friend? It's his friend. Why didn't you go to the place where he lived to find him instead of coming to this flower garden?" The young man opposite smiled.

Chu Yunqing frowned, then looked around and confirmed that Chu Huanyu was not in the flower garden.

"In that case, excuse me." He crossed his fists and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." The young man had already swallowed what was in his mouth. He took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you looking for him?"

Chu Yunqing turned around and looked at him, "Private matter."

"Can't tell?" The young man raised his eyebrows.

Chu Yunqing nodded.

"Then do you know who I am?" The young man pointed to himself.

Chu Yunqing shook his head.

The young man paused for a moment, carefully looked at the expression of the guy opposite him, and made sure that he was not lying. He immediately sighed with some dejection.

Looking at him like this, Chu Yunqing inexplicably thought of the man from Luoyu Jiange who came to intercept him when he left Taiyuan Prefecture.

At that time, the other party also asked himself the same question, and then showed such an expression.

It's like I should know them.

Chu Yunqing smiled secretly, turned around and left.

"Chu Huanyu is out." The young man's voice came from behind, "I don't know where he went."

Chu Yunqing turned around and smiled, "Thank you."

…

Looking at Chu Yunqing's leaving figure, Zhou Shangqing couldn't help but scrape his cheeks and rub a lot of mud off.

"Second brother, you know him, right?" Zhou Ye, who was chewing on a winter pear, said.

These two people were, of course, the second prince and the young princess.

"If your guess is correct, he should be Chu Huanyu's brother. Chu Yun is clear." Zhou Shangqing took out his ears, sat down, wiped his hands with a wet towel on the side, and then picked up the steamed buns to eat again.

"Then why don't you reveal your identity and say a few more words to him?" Zhou Ye said sharply: "Don't you always want to win over Chu Huanyu?"

"How can that be called wooing?" Zhou Shangqing corrected: "I was sincerely sincere and wanted to make him a friend."

Zhou Ye made a sound and said bluntly: "My mother told me that the prince is good at everything but he is less decisive, and you are the most thoughtful. I think that is the case now."

After hearing this, Zhou Shangqing looked dissatisfied and hummed a few times, but did not dare to say anything.

"What are you talking about secretly?" Zhou Ye kicked the table with his calf, causing the soup on the table to spill out.

"Oh, please be more honest." Zhou Shangqing looked helpless, "If you have nothing to do, go to the East Palace to play, and don't torment me. You didn't do any work, and you broke several of my

Potted flowers, do you know how much money this costs?"

"Okay, you still dislike me?" Zhou Ye pursed his lips and squeezed the pear in his hand tightly.

Zhou Shangqing saw it and couldn't help but shudder. He had no doubt that if he didn't say a few nice words, the half-eaten pear in the other person's hand would fall on his forehead.

He quickly said: "What about that? I promised the Crown Princess a few days ago that I would send her a wonderful scenery. I can't leave now. Why don't I bother my little sister?"

When Zhou Ye heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "You are very concerned about her affairs."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Zhou Shangqing's face immediately changed slightly, "It's okay to talk to me about this. You can't say childish words outside!"

Zhou Ye had seen the change in his expression a long time ago, and in his smart mind, he had already understood his second brother.

So, she waved her hand and said, "Okay, I just want to see Sister Gu, so I'll give you a trip, but..."

"I have already prepared a New Year's gift for you." Zhou Shangqing said quickly.

But Zhou Ye looked puzzled, "What did the second brother say?"

Then, she looked surprised again, "Oh, what kind of gift did you prepare for me? How embarrassing."

Zhou Shangqing's mouth twitched, thinking in his mind, when will I stop giving it to you? Once it's gone, won't you still have to play with my life?

But he still smiled fondly on the surface, "Hey, I'm just a girl like you, so of course I have to treat you well."

Zhou Ye smiled with satisfaction, walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Zhou Shangqing, who was squatting, was helpless and his face almost stopped laughing.

Not far from the flower garden, Chu Yunqing silently walked out from behind the tree and left quietly.

He was not a person who liked to voyeur, let alone eavesdrop, but because it concerned his younger brother, he still wanted to know the identities of these two people, and he was still curious, so he stayed a little longer.

Of course, the main reason was that he wanted to wait and see if Chu Huanyu would come back by chance.

But unfortunately, there was no such coincidence, so someone Chu accidentally heard some news.

…

Chu Yunqing left the Imperial College. He didn't know where to go to find Chu Huanyu, so he planned to go back first.

After returning home, Ai Xiaozhou was eating melon seeds in the yard.

Chu Yunqing was stunned.

Calculating the time, it would take more than an hour for me to go to the Imperial College.

"Did you not go to Baihusuo, or did you go and then come back?" he asked.

"I went there once and came back again." Ai Xiaozhou said casually.

Chu Yunqing was keenly aware that she was not in high spirits.

"What's wrong, what happened?" he asked.

Ai Xiaozhou spit out the melon seed skin and asked: "What about you, have you told Chu Huanyu?"

Chu Yunqing pulled up a chair and followed suit, lying down beside him, but instead of grabbing melon seeds, he held a teapot.
