On this day, Tianyao had just finished school and was preparing to pay his respects to the Empress at the Feng Luan Palace Hall when it unexpectedly started to rain. On a whim, Tianyao took advantage of the moment when the palace servants were looking for an umbrella to sneak out and run into the rain. He walked along the corridor and arrived at the imperial garden. It was the first time Tian Yao had seen the imperial garden in the rain. Although it was not as lively and interesting as usual, the rain added a bit of poetry to the garden.
Tian Ze strolled leisurely in the rain, without groups of palace servants following him, it was a rare freedom. Just as he was enjoying himself, he was attracted by a small figure in the distance.
He saw a little girl curled up by the fence beside the hibiscus pond in the distance. Her body was drenched in the rain, and her pale yellow palace dress was tightly attached to her body. From a distance, she looked like an injured bird, so sad.
Tianyao slowly walked to the girl's side. He patted her shoulder gently." Who are you? Why was she standing in the rain alone?”
The girl raised her head, her eyes red and swollen. She saw Tianyao. She immediately wiped away her tears. "This servant Chen Yunchu pays her respects to the Crown Prince.”His voice was hoarse and weak. But it was indescribably moving.
"You're General Chen's daughter and An Zhen's study partner. I've seen you before.”Tianyao said as he helped Yun Chu up. "Why are you crying here alone? Look, you're all wet."”As he spoke, he took off his cloak and put it on Yun Chu.
"This servant is accompanying this servant's mother. The imperial noble consort told this servant that this servant's mother had become a hibiscus flower in this pond, a hibiscus fairy. But this servant will never see mother again. This servant will be leaving the palace tomorrow. Perhaps I will never see these hibiscus flowers again, so this servant wants to accompany mother more today.”As she spoke, a stream of tears flowed down her face." If Your Highness pities this servant, can you help this servant visit my mother from time to time? This servant is here to thank Your Highness."”Yun Chu bowed to Tianyao.
"You don't have to be so polite. I'll promise you. You…"
At this moment, four or five eunuchs and palace maids ran over quickly with umbrellas in their hands. The leading eunuch panted as he said,"Your Highness, this servant is looking for you. The Empress is looking for you. Quickly follow this servant back.”As he spoke, he lifted Tianyao up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. Send someone to send Yunchu back.”Tianyao looked at Yun Chu, who was in a sorry state.
"No need, Your Highness. Yunchu can go back by herself.”As he spoke, Xiang Tianyao curtsied and ran into the rain.
Yun Chu ran out a few steps, turned around, and waved at Tianyao. Then, she ran away and disappeared from Tianyao's sight.
Tianyao stared in the direction where Yun Chu had left and thought,""Yunchu has been in the palace for four years, and this is the first time I've seen her in person. She's such a beautiful girl. Master Chen had not entered the palace for half a month, and Yunchu was leaving the palace again. Perhaps they would never see each other again.”Thinking of this, she felt a little lonely. The image of Yun Chu's small body huddled together appeared in front of her eyes again. Later on, this memory would often appear in Tianyao's dreams and every rainy day. It was as if everything had been predestined.
General Manor.
Due to the death of the Madam, the entire General Manor was filled with sorrow. Old Mr. Pan and Old Mrs. Pan also fell ill after hearing the bad news. The General Manor was shrouded in dark clouds. Faraway Dust was wholeheartedly preparing for Qianwan's funeral. The matters in the army were all handled by Deputy General Shen. Fengnian and Qingzhu handled the matters in the residence.
Zhi Song hadn't been having a good time these past few days either, sitting under the swing in a daze almost every day. She would cry when she thought of how well Madam treated her. Then, she thought of Yun Chu's tearful face and cried again. Feng Ling would come over to check on him from time to time, afraid that the young master would go crazy. Hearing that the young miss was going back to the manor, Feng Ling was both happy and a little lonely. Young Miss had been in the palace for four years, and Young Master had missed her for four years. Now that Young Miss had returned to the residence, Young Master would be saved. However, she might not have the chance to be alone with her young master and watch him cry or laugh. When he thought of this, his eyes burned.
Yun Chu sat quietly in the sedan chair. Her eyes were still red and swollen. She was holding the longevity lock that Han Zhen had given her. This was specially made for An Zhen by His Majesty when she was born. Knowing that Yun Chu was leaving, An Zhen almost fainted from crying. She didn't come to see Yun Chu off today and only sent someone to send this to her. Imperial Noble Consort and Yan Mei also burst into tears. Thinking of this, Yun Chu felt sad again. She might never be able to come back to this palace again. Imperial Noble Consort, Princess Anzhen, His Highness Tianyao, Aunt Yanmei…I'm afraid I won't be able to see them again…
The sedan chair stopped in front of the General's manor. Everyone in the residence welcomed him at the door.
Zhi Song looked nervous. He didn't know if Yun Chu would still recognize him after four years.
Qing Zhu stood at the very front, her face full of heroic spirit revealing the gentleness that a woman should have. In four years, Qing Zhu had already been sculpted into a slim and elegant young lady.
Yun Chu got out of the sedan chair with the help of the maid. Yun Chu was dressed in a gorgeous sky-blue palace dress, making her look like a little fairy from heaven, delicate and moving.
Qing Zhu walked forward and held Yun Chu's hand." Sister, you've worked hard. Now that you're finally home, we can rest assured." Do you still recognize me?"
"Sister Qingzhu." Yun Chu called out softly.
Qing Zhu was overjoyed." My good sister, you were only six when you left. I thought you wouldn't remember, but now that you're back, I'll definitely take good care of you on behalf of Madam."”As he spoke, he pulled Yun Chu into his arms.
"Miss Qingzhu, Miss Yunchu is also tired. Why don't we go in and talk?”Feng Nian reminded.
Qing Zhu immediately let go of Yun Chu." Look at how happy I am. I actually forgot to call Yun Chu into the house." Everyone, come in." Everyone followed Qing Zhu's instructions and entered the manor.
"Yunchu, Yunchu." Through the crowd, Zhi Song could no longer hold back his excitement and shouted.
Yun Chu turned around, and tears instantly flowed out of her eyes. She called out with difficulty," Brother Zhisong."”
