Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

In the guard camp, outside Jin Fan's room, Gong Yunzheng, who was facing the window with his back to the wind, looked subtly embarrassed.

Although this is not the first time I have done this, I still feel that I am too much of an aid to the evil.

"It's okay," Gong Zishang, who was leaning against the window, turned around and couldn't help but smile. He pinched his fingers together and whispered, "I only looked at it a little bit. I won't be greedy~"

She would stop as soon as she saw Jin Fan's strong chest.

"..." Gong Yunzheng obviously didn't believe it.

Sure enough, the next second, a frightened man's shouting erupted in the room, and then Gong Zishang, with a look of "making a profit" on his face, stepped forward, grabbed Gong Yunzheng's hand, and fled the scene in small steps.

As soon as he arrived outside the guard camp, Gong Zishang, who was thinking of Jin Fan's strong back covered with water droplets, couldn't help laughing strangely. He suddenly looked up and was startled.

Across from her, Gong Yuanzheng, with his arms folded, was staring at her with a stern face.

It’s easy to imagine why the young master’s face looks so ugly.

As expected, Gong Yuanzheng frowned and asked coldly, "You brought my sister to a place like this again!"

"Where?" Gong Zishang let go of Gong Yunzheng's wrist and spread his hands, pretending to be dumb. "Isn't it just the guard camp?"

"you!"

Gong Yuanzheng was furious: "He's obsessed with sex!"

"How could a little brat like you, barely even twenty years old, understand Jin Fan's kindness?" Gong Zishang smiled softly, her voice even more coquettish. "You're so disrespectful! Why don't you call me sister?"

As the eldest daughter of the Shang Palace, who is older than Gong Yuanzheng, Gong Zishang feels that sometimes using age to pressure others is indeed a pleasant thing.

Gong Yuanzheng sneered at Gong Zishang, who used his status to bully others when he couldn't win the argument, and said nothing more.

Seeing that the two had finished arguing, Gong Yunzheng asked, "Have you packed your things?"

"I'm done packing." The boy, who had originally looked rebellious, immediately softened his expression. "Sister, I'll take you to the women's courtyard."

After saying that, he turned his face away slightly, as if he was embarrassed: "Sister, it's better not to come to places like this in the future, so as not to be led astray."

Gong Zishang looked at the blockhead and said, "What are you talking about? If your sister hadn't been led astray by me, when would you have had a brother-in-law?"

"No need." The young man scoffed at the word "brother-in-law". "What's the use of a brother-in-law? He can't even take my pulse or take care of my health."

"Useless trash, what do you want him to do?"

Looking at the backs of the two people walking away, Gong Zishang pondered: "What you said... seems to be right?"

Sister Yunzheng is weak and often needs to take medicine. If she marries a man who knows nothing about medicine, he will be just like what the little dead fish eyed said, a waste and of no use.

But...except for Gong Yuanzheng, all the doctors in the palace who know medical skills are old veterans. How can Sister Yunzheng choose her husband from among these people?

There was no way the little dead fish eye would agree.

"Alas, it seems that sister Yun Zheng's love life is full of twists and turns. It's not as good as you and me, Jin Fan. Lovers can finally get married~"

With one hand, Jin Fan, a tall and strong man dressed in a black guard uniform, supported Gong Zishang, who was falling towards him like a willow in the wind. He couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "From now on, don't peek at me taking a bath."

"What do you mean by peeking?" Gong Zishang covered her face with her sleeves and smiled shyly, "I had Sister Yunzheng to help keep watch... Bah, I was helping to be a witness, watching openly."

Jin Fan was speechless: "That didn't come with my consent."

Women's courtyard.

The maids were busy coming and going, and the trays on them were mostly filled with things needed for women's rooms.

Nanny Fu, who was waiting at the door, looked at the road and reminded the maids from time to time to be quick and agile and not to make any mistakes.

Everyone in the palace knows that the second young lady has a high prestige in the palace. The Palace Master of Zheng Palace, Gong Yuanzheng, follows his sister's lead. Now the second young lady is coming here to stay for a few days. If something goes wrong accidentally, I am afraid that all the maids in the female guest courtyard and her, the manager, will be held accountable.

When Gong Yunzheng arrived, her things had already been moved into the room and sorted out.

The woman was wearing a light blue long skirt, with a jade pendant hanging quietly at her waist, and a fox fur cloak on the outside. The fine, white, soft and impurity-free fur made her look elegant and gentle, giving her a look of a banished immortal from the other world.

The young man beside her was tall and slender, a head taller than the woman. He held the hilt of the sword hanging at his waist with one hand. The blue and white stained long gown gave him a somewhat cold feeling. His childish face, which was still youthful, had a faint smile on it, but it did not make people feel that he was easy to talk to.

Seeing someone coming, Madam Fu, the steward, came with her maids to greet them, bowing respectfully and saying, "Second Miss, Mr. Zheng."

As soon as she stood up, she felt a sharp gaze scrutinizing her, and her heart couldn't help but rise a little.

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Fu." Gong Yunzheng said softly.

"Second Miss, that's not right. You're really embarrassing me." Nanny Fu hurried inside to greet them. "It's very cold outside. Second Miss, Young Master Zheng, please come inside. I'll have someone make a bowl of cold-repelling soup."

The valley was indeed very cold, and Gong Yunzheng felt very tired after walking all the way. He raised his hand to tighten the white fox fur coat on his body and stepped into the women's guest house.

Following behind, Nanny Fu breathed a sigh of relief at the tall figure of Gong Yuanzheng, who had remained silent since arriving. She hurried after him, "Second Miss, all the things you brought have been put away, and the room has been cleaned. The bedding has been heated according to Master Zheng's instructions, the calming incense is lit, and the charcoal fire has been lit. Second Miss, please see if there is anything missing. I will have someone provide more."

Gong Yunzheng did not live in the main house of the women's guesthouse, but in a side house nearby.

Standing in the warm room, she looked around and said, "The expedition is well arranged, and Nanny Fu has done a great job. There's nothing else to buy."

Gong Yuanzheng smiled when he was praised.

He looked at the woman beside him and said, "Go down. I'll call you if anything happens."

"Yes." Nanny Fu hurriedly took her leave.

As Nanny Fu left, Gong Yuanzheng glanced around the room and said, "They've done their best."

Gong Yunzheng untied his fox fur cape and handed it to the maid behind him. He sat down beside the couch and beckoned Gong Yuanzheng, "You sit down too."

Gong Yuanzheng, who was checking whether the flowers and plants in the house had been tampered with, responded and sat down on the other side, watching Gong Yunzheng making tea smoothly.

In just a moment, a maid brought the medicine to dispel the cold.

He first poured himself a bowl, smelled it, and took a sip before pouring some for Gong Yunzheng, asking her to drink it while it was hot to drive away the coldness that had come from her body.

Looking at his brother's thoughtful and cautious manner, a sense of bitterness spread in Gong Yunzheng's heart. He drank medicine and lied that his eyes were red from the bitterness.

Seeing his sister's eyes reddened with tears, Gong Yuanzheng ordered Qinglan: "What are you standing there for? Go get some candied fruit!"

My sister's maid has no tact at all.

Gong Yunzheng took the candied fruit handed to him by Gong Yuanzheng and put it in his mouth. The sweet taste quickly covered the bitterness of the medicine, and the bitterness and sourness in his heart became even stronger.

Gong Yuanzheng: "Is it sweet?"

"Very sweet." Gong Yunzheng smiled gently: "I didn't realize before that Yuanzheng has grown up too."

Facing his sister's praise, the young man, who was hailed by the palace as a rare herbal genius once in a century, and who had taken on the responsibility of being the head of a palace at such a young age, and who was a powerful practitioner of both medicine and martial arts, smiled shyly: "No matter how much older I am, I am still your brother."
