In the last chapter, it was said that after Ziheng picked up the kite, he immediately recognized that the words and paintings on the kite were not from Wan Ning, so he immediately asked Gao Rulan about the owner of the kite.

When Gao Rulan saw that he was asking about this seriously, she was stunned for a moment, then she tilted her head and looked at him with smiling eyes, and replied: "This is Sister Liu Qingyu's kite. Sister Liu made a very good kite. I really couldn't bear to see it drifting away, so..."

Before she could finish, Ziheng lost interest and handed the kite back to her. This interrupted Gao Rulan from continuing to speak. Seeing this, Ziheng said, "Since it is her kite, I will give it back to you." After that, Ziheng turned around and was about to leave.

Gao Rulan was panicking, her eyes showing some doubt and timidity. She looked around and gazed at Ziheng's back. Finally, she couldn't help but call out to Ziheng: "Brother Huaichu, Brother Huaichu, slow down, wait for me."

Ziheng turned around in surprise. Although he was confused, he waited for her to come forward like a gentleman before asking, "Miss Gao, is there anything else?"

Gao Rulan smiled, a little shy, and said happily: "Brother Huaichu actually remembered my last name, Rulan is so happy. I called Brother Huaichu to invite you to fly a kite with me, are you willing?"

Before he could answer the question, she added, "Pretty sister, no, I should call her Princess Le Yan - but I still like to call her Pretty Sister. She thought that we were very lonely and pitiful away from home, and the weather was good today, so the wind was blowing on our faces without making us feel cold. It was also a good time to fly kites in the east wind, so she took us to fly kites in the North Garden, and specifically told everyone to join. Brother Huaichu, if you have nothing to do, would you be willing to go with me? I heard from other sisters in the palace that the princess started designing her own kite very early, and it must be unexpected."

As expected, things related to Wan Ning always attracted Ziheng's special attention. When he heard that Wan Ning was designing a kite behind closed doors, he thought of her serious look and could not help but feel more expectant. Ziheng was willing to say a few more words: "Princess Wan Ning is very imaginative. Since she has already started designing, she must have some unique ideas."

Seeing that Ziheng was interested, Gao Rulan struck while the iron was hot and added, "That's right, the beautiful sister is not only beautiful, but also smart and clever. She can always think of things we haven't seen before. The sisters who participated in the talent show together all admired the beautiful sister privately and didn't want to miss a thing about the princess. They were afraid that if they missed it, they would regret it. Don't you think so, brother Huaichu?"

"Of course." Ziheng had no intention of leaving and didn't say anything more.

Gao Rulan was so excited that she almost jumped up after receiving such an answer. She hugged Ziheng's arm excitedly and shouted, "That's great, that's great. If my beautiful sister could meet Brother Huaichu, she would be very happy."

Ziheng had just pulled his arm out of her arms when Gao Rulan grabbed his sleeve again. She always looked innocent and naive, which made people doubt whether they were overthinking even if they were dissatisfied. So Ziheng didn't say much, and Gao Rulan didn't give him time to say anything. So Gao Rulan pulled Ziheng's sleeve, talked all the way, and went to the North Garden happily.

With Ziheng, who was familiar with the palace, leading the way, the return time was much faster than the coming time. When they arrived at the garden gate, Ziheng realized that it was inconvenient for him to go directly there due to his status, so he thought about standing at a distance and taking a look from afar, which could also be regarded as fulfilling his wish to accompany Wan Ning to fly a kite for the first time.

So he said to Gao Rulan, "Let's stop here. The North Garden is in front. Miss Gao, please go there on your own."

Gao Rulan stood in front of him, looking back and forth between the garden and Ziheng, her expression revealing reluctance to leave. She asked in a gentle and sweet voice: "Will I be able to see Brother Huaichu again in the future?"

"The princess and I have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship. Miss Gao is also good friends with the princess, so there is naturally a chance that we will meet. The entrance to the North Garden is in front of us, so Miss Gao, please don't make anyone worry," Ziheng added.

Although what he said "don't make people worry" refers to the sisters who participated in the talent show together, because she left without permission for some time, it is inevitable that people will worry and urge her to go back quickly. It would have been better if she didn't say it. When Ziheng said this, Gao Rulan misunderstood and thought that Ziheng was worried about her safety. In this case, she must thank him for coming back.

"Brother Huaichu is so polite. Just like my beautiful sister, I will go back first so as not to let my brother worry. Brother Huaichu, please ask me to go play with my beautiful sister more often. This palace is too lonely." Gao Rulan added.

But Ziheng just wanted to be alone and watch Wan Ning's kite, so he stopped arguing and just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, so he nodded. Gao Rulan smiled happily but also laughed secretly, so that he would not notice, she took two steps at a time and ran quickly towards the North Garden with the kite.

Ziheng had no time to care about the abnormality he found. He just wanted to quietly accompany Wan Ning to fly a kite, secretly observe her kite, and watch his Yanyan grow up freely and live happily without him. He thought that maybe one day in the future, the two of them would talk casually about the past and the future, and then Ziheng might tell him about today's scene. At that time, he would describe in detail the detailed appearance of Wan Ning's kite and the trend of Wan Ning's kite taking off.

After hearing his story, his Yanyan might be surprised, curious, and would pester him with questions: "Ziheng, how do you know? How do you know everything? Ziheng, are you secretly paying attention to me?"

At that time, he would answer arrogantly and stubbornly: "Yanyan, I won't tell you. I will accompany you in a place you don't know about."

In order to prepare for such a surprise and experience, Ziheng stood at the foot of the stone mountain outside the garden and waited for a while. But when he looked at the various kites flying in the sky, although the patterns were different, they were similar. However, the calligraphy on the kites was completely inconsistent with Wan Ning's ability, and none of them looked like Wan Ning's kites.

It was not until Wan Tao brought Xiang Wan Xuan's cakes to the ladies that she passed by and saw him behind the stone mountain, and immediately stepped forward to pay her respects. Wan Tao usually took care of the princess personally, and when she saw her, Zi Heng immediately became more expectant, and stepped forward calmly on the surface.

"Your Majesty, good luck. Why are you here?"

Ziheng was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to say what he was thinking directly, lest he lose the surprise, so he answered casually, "I passed by here and heard that Xiang Wanxuan was flying a kite here, so I took a few more glances."

Wan Ning looked at the emperor, then at the kite in the sky, and immediately understood. She replied, "There are indeed sisters flying kites here. The princess is kind and worried, so she asked me to bring some snacks and look after them."

Ziheng immediately realized that Gao Rulan was playing a trick on him and Wan Ning was not there.
