When she woke up and couldn't fall asleep, she didn't make a fuss or make a sound, just kept her eyes open until dawn.

Since when, Li Zhao stayed in Yonghe Palace less and less frequently.

Wen Yuan could finally sleep peacefully until dawn.

After the spring, Li Zhao was very busy, and the longest time Wen Yuan hadn't seen him was ten days.

She hid in Yonghe Palace, Amire never appeared again, and Xiangyu was sent to the laundry department that afternoon.

But even if one Xiangyu is missing, there are still countless Xiangyu.

Even the most attentive Nanny Li was Li Zhao's person. In the entire Yonghe Palace, there were dozens of pairs of eyes, but not a single one belonged to her.

After spring, the flowers bloomed.

The ancient catalpa tree beside the wall of Yonghe Palace was lush and leafy. Wen Yuan stood under the tree and looked up, only to see clusters of pink leaves piercing the sky, with almost no end in sight. It was true that: a thousand-year-old cypress or a ten-thousand-year-old fir is not as good as a branch of a catalpa tree.

Wen Yuan was lying on the porch with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, he found a kite floating on the ancient catalpa tree.

A green long-tail catfish kite teetering in the sky.

The person who flew the kite obviously didn't have good skills. He tried to save the person several times but still failed.

Sure enough, the green flathead catfish was stuck on the ancient catalpa tree.

Wen Yuan's dull life was shaken by this green catfish.

The people outside were obviously getting anxious. They pulled the kite string violently several times, but to no avail. Instead, the catalpa flowers were pulled and fell to the ground, as if it was raining catalpa flowers.

The long green tail of the kite hangs down in the pink, making it particularly eye-catching.

After a while, the people outside seemed to have given up and there was no movement for a long time.

Wen Yuan was tired of reading and got up to go to the study.

Recently she picked up painting again, mainly because she was really bored. There was no mobile phone, no internet, and no battery. Life in ancient times was so simple and unpretentious.

There was nothing in particular I wanted to draw, so I just drew a green catfish head. At first glance, it looked very similar to the one hanging on the ancient catalpa tree.

He finished the outline with just a few strokes and added some colors. When the ink was drying, he heard voices outside the gate of Yonghe Palace.

"Your Majesty." Nanny Li came to the study with a smile, holding a colorful swallow kite in her hand.

"What is this?" Wen Yuan stared at the kite, his eyes full of curiosity.

"It's a swallow kite, madam. It's windy outside. Do you want to fly a kite?"

"Where did the kite come from?" Wen Yuan took the kite and looked it over.

Yan Zi's work is extremely realistic, and the painter's accomplishments are extremely high, much higher than her half-baked level.

"The eunuchs and maids in the palace played with it for fun, here." Madam Li nodded toward the ancient catalpa tree. "That kite hanging on the tree is theirs too. The kite landed in Yonghe Palace, and they were afraid of upsetting the Empress, so they sent this swallow as an apology."

Wen Yuan couldn't let go of Yan Zi, with a soft look in his eyes.

After just looking for a moment, she concealed the smile on her lips.

"Give it to the little girls to play with."

Nanny Li opened her mouth, a little anxious: "You don't like it, Madam?"

like?

Wen Yuan looked up in confusion. She hadn't felt the emotion of "like" for a long time.

Besides, she was pregnant and couldn't even leave the Yonghe Palace, so how could she fly a kite?

It would just gather dust here, so I might as well let the palace maids play with it.

Nanny Li tried to explain several times, but seeing Wen Yuan's indifferent expression, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

After a long time, Nanny Li came to the outside of the Yonghe Palace wall with a kite.

Li Zhao stood with his hands behind his back, holding a string in his hand, the other end of which was connected to the branch of the ancient catalpa tree.

Dense branches of the catalpa tree protruded from the top of the wall, and pink catalpa flowers fell to the ground below the wall.

Nanny Li approached with her brows lowered and replied, "Your Majesty, the Queen asked me to give the kite to the palace maids below to play with."

The tall emperor did not speak for a long time. Then he threw away the kite string he had been holding in his hand and left Yonghe Palace silently.

Nanny Li and Eunuch Zhou looked at each other, both with helpless expressions on their faces.

When Wen Yuan was sleeping at night, he found a kite hanging on the wall.

She wondered why the kite was here and why Nanny Li didn't take it away?
