"Doctor Chu?" Zhao Qilong asked with a look in his eyes.

Chu Yingying paused for a moment, but she still finished her question: "Ms. Dou used to treat you with honesty and ungratefulness every time, why did you still help her so wholeheartedly?"

Zhao Qilong was a little embarrassed, but still replied: "She...she is very kind-hearted, but her personality is a bit twisted..."

He faltered, Chu Yingying saw it, what else did he not understand?Presumably Zhao Qilong has a good impression of Dou Rulan, she didn't say anything, but just smiled, and said: "That's right, Miss Dou is really nice."

Zhao Qilong laughed immediately after hearing this, as if Chu Yingying was praising him, her smile was a bit silly.

In the afternoon, someone knocked on the door in the front yard. Chu Yingying didn't dare to open the door rashly, but looked out from the crack of the door first. Outside stood a woman in a light green shirt, dressed as a maid, and the clothes on her body were made of The best ones are definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

Moreover, the woman looked familiar, Chu Yingying recalled it for a while, and then suddenly remembered that when she was in Hangzhou City, Liao Shiyin often had a maid by her side, named Jing Mo, who was very clever and winky.

After Chu Yingying confirmed it, she opened the door. When Jing Mo saw her, she immediately laughed, and greeted her warmly with a sense of familiarity: "Miss Chu, long time no see, my lady invites you to come over to the house A story."

She didn't call Liao Shiyin the princess to Chu Yingying, but still called my lady, which made Chu Yingying immediately feel kind, as if she had returned to the city of Hangzhou many years ago.

Taking advantage of the afternoon sun, the lively girl and her maid knocked on the courtyard door of her house with a smile, and said cheerfully, Yingying, here I come again.

Chu Yingying came back to her senses, nodded to Jingmo with a smile, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

"Okay, Miss Chu, take your time, don't rush," Jing Mo said with a smile.

Chu Yingying went back to the backyard, and told Zhao Qilong not to act rashly, pay attention to the wound, and then said: "An old friend invited me to the house to talk, if there is no accident, I will come back in the evening, if someone knocks The door, don't open it easily."

Zhao Qilong quickly agreed and said: "Doctor Chu, you just go, I remember."

Only then did Chu Yingying close the yard, and when she reached the front yard, she said to Jing Mo, "Let's go."

Jing Mo immediately turned his side to show courtesy: "Miss Chu, please follow me."

She led Chu Yingying to the corner of the street, where there was a carriage waiting, the driver saw him and jumped down to salute, Jing Mo helped Chu Yingying into the carriage, and then ordered: "Go back to the palace."

"Yes."

The carriage rattled across the long street and quickly headed forward. Chu Yingying sat in the carriage with mixed feelings and thoughts. When the carriage stopped, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Jing Mo lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Miss Chu, the palace is here, please get out of the car."

Chu Yingying nodded, and with her hand, she got out of the carriage. In front of her was a mansion with a high gate. On it was a plaque with the three characters of Prince Yong's Mansion impressively written on it.

Jing Mo bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Chu, please."

Prince Yong's Mansion is not very big, in Chu Yingying's opinion, it is not even as big as Cui Yunhao's house, but the decorations are very exquisite, such as rockery pavilions, high eaves, curved water pavilions, and so on.

Chu Yingying followed Jing Mo and walked through the long veranda all the way to the garden of the palace. From a distance, she heard a burst of children's laughter, accompanied by cheers, which seemed very lively.

After passing through the rockery path, her sight suddenly widened. Chu Yingying saw a tall tree in front of her, and a swing was hung on the tree. A four or five-year-old girl was sitting on the swing, and a seven or eight-year-old girl was sitting on the swing. The boy is pushing her up and down.

The swing flew up and down suddenly, and the girl's cheers also fluctuated, giggling, and it sounded very happy.

She urged: "Push it higher, I want to fly!"

After hearing this, the boy really pushed the swing with great strength, and the girl's clothes were elegant, like a dexterous swallow.

A few palace guards were standing beside them, they were so nervous that their faces were a little pale, and their hands were open, as if they were afraid that the girl would fall from above.

Jing Mo whispered to Chu Yingying, "Miss Chu, this way."

After she finished speaking, she led Chu Yingying to the path on the right, and a lotus pond appeared in front of her. It was June at this time, and the lotus blossoms stood tall and fragrant. On the small wooden bridge, a woman in goose-yellow clothes was standing with her back facing them, leaning on the railing.

That is Princess Yong.

Jing Mo asked Chu Yingying to wait a while, and went forward to report softly. After hearing this, Princess Yong immediately turned around to look over, smiled at Chu Yingying, and said, "Yingying is here."

Chu Yingying stepped forward and was about to salute, but was stopped by a soft white hand, Princess Yong said: "It doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

Hearing this, Chu Yingying looked at her, and they both looked at each other and smiled, the estrangement and unfamiliarity that had been caused by time seemed to disappear in this smile.

Concubine Yong pulled Chu Yingying and said, "When did you come to Jindu? After Cui Yunhao won the first prize?"

Chu Yingying shook her head and said, "I've only been here for a few days."

Concubine Yong smiled again and said: "No wonder, I didn't see you looking for me. I remember I gave you a token back then."

Chu Yingying felt apologetic in her heart. They parted a few years ago. Although the two of them exchanged letters several times, they gradually forgot about it after a long time. She knew that Liao Shiyin had become Concubine Yong, if it wasn't for today's coincidence, they probably wouldn't meet so soon.

After a few years, the two are now reunited together, feeling very sad, and for a moment she didn't know where to bring up the topic, Princess Yong looked at Chu Yingying carefully, and said with a smile: "Yingying is still the same as before, only more beautiful gone."

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "You too."

She said, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "how are you doing now?"

Concubine Yong was stunned, then nodded, and said: "Fortunately, there is nothing serious in the palace, and I don't need to do anything. Every time I hear my sister and mother talk about the difficulties of running a family after marriage, I don't feel it at all. On the contrary, it is more relaxed than when I was still in the boudoir."

As she spoke, she laughed and said, "But there is one good thing, no mother will drag me to do embroidery work anymore."

After hearing this, Chu Yingying couldn't help thinking about the past. Liao Shiyin followed her to learn how to embroider and match bags, and she pricked many holes with her fingers. It's easy to see.

Looking back now, Chu Yingying felt like it was yesterday, the afternoon sun was shining brightly on the face of the woman in front of her, her eyes were still clear, her face was beautiful and her makeup was exquisite.

She was wearing gorgeous palace attire, but there was a bit of indescribable loneliness in her smile, she was no longer the innocent girl she was back then.

As if seeing what Chu Yingying was hiding in her heart, Concubine Yong slightly lowered her eyes and said, "Don't talk about me, how is Yingying now? Are you still a doctor?"
