My Reason for Calmness Chapter 2

Skye was dressed in a blue shirt for men, with her crow-wing-like black hair combed into a man's bun, a sandalwood carved hairpin casually pinned to her head, an inch-wide brocade belt tied around her waist to reveal her slender figure, and lacquered deerskin boots on her feet, looking heroic.

"Mother, today I hunted some rabbits, pheasants, and a yellow sheep, and gave them all to the kitchen." Skye's voice was clear and full of vitality. He held a precious carved bow in his arm and bowed like a man.

Mingzhan likes Skye's dressing, which is both masculine and feminine, and confusing. Mingzhan is the younger brother, so he stood up and greeted his sister. Skye smiled and handed the bow to Mingzhan, "This is what my father just gave me. Let me show you."

Skye likes riding and shooting, and never uses bows, arrows, swords or guns from others. He takes care of them all by himself, and ordinary people are not allowed to touch them. However, Mingzhan is not one of them. The two are twins, and they are born close in their blood. Although their hobbies and personalities are very different, they are still as close as one person.

Elijah took it and held it in his hand. Seeing the elegant bone yellow color on the bow, he knew it was a top-quality ox horn bow. He pressed the bowstring and smiled and gave Skye a thumbs up. Skye stroked the bowstring as if it were a treasure and said happily, "This string is made of ox tendon. It's very strong and very easy to use."

Although he could not speak, Mingzhan had no problem with his ears. Because of this, Gavin invited many doctors for him, and even the imperial doctors in the palace came from afar to treat him, and the result was predictable. Later, Gavin stopped talking about this matter, and Mingzhan finally left the life of a drug residue that made him extremely painful.

"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a roasted leg of lamb." Skye knew that Elijah liked to eat roasted legs of lamb.

Princess Wei was watering a pot of dazzling camellia flowers. Without turning her head, she said gently, "Skye, your elder sister has been arranged to marry, and it's your turn next. You should learn some needlework and cooking skills, and don't dress like a man anymore. It makes people think you are not a man."

Skye folded her hands behind her head, leaned back on the couch, crossed her legs, and smiled, "Are you worried that I won't be able to get married? I'm not good at that, but my father has no objection, so don't be afraid, mother."

Elijah brought tea to Skye like a servile person. Skye was a very strong person, of course this had something to do with Gavin.

Elijah is a mute. Gavin treats him like a failure and never speaks much. Elijah is not the type to be warm and friendly but get cold reception. If Gavin ignores him, he will treat his parents as dead.

Skye and Gavin had a natural affinity. Among his children, Skye was the only one Gavin treated differently. Skye's riding and archery skills were all taught by Gavin himself, and Skye had attended the teacher's classes with Mingzhan since he was young. Gavin treated Skye like his own son.

If Skye was a son, Mingzhan had no doubt that he would become the crown prince of the Zhennan Palace.

Skye and Gavin are as close as Elijah is to Princess Wei.

Princess Wei picked up the flowers and plants, washed her hands, and saw Elijah massaging her sister's shoulders. She said helplessly, "Zhan'er, let the maids serve your sister."

Elijah smiled and pinched even harder, Skye smiled lazily, "You think he is being attentive for no reason, he must have something to ask of me."

Elijah patted his chest, then patted Skye's, implying that they were in sync. Unexpectedly, Skye had already started to develop, and when Elijah touched a small soft spot, Skye blushed even though she was happy. She slapped Elijah in the face, pressed him on the couch and beat him, cursing, "Try to touch me again! I'll beat you to death!"

Princess Wei saw what was happening and tried to stop them, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Elijah was hit several times and it hurt so much that he quickly hid far away. His aggrieved look was enough to kill people.

Skye was still angry, and pointed at the tip of Mingzhan's nose from a distance, saying angrily, "For mother's sake, I'll spare you this time! Come and give me a leg massage!"

Elijah tugged at Princess Wei's sleeve like a bullied young wife, refusing to move forward. Skye jumped off the couch like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, and Elijah rolled over on the ground and ran for his life.

Skye did not chase him, but stood at the door with his hands on his H!ps and cursed, "Don't think I don't know that you dropped Wu Daozi into the water. If you dare to come back, I will skin you alive!"

Skye likes calligraphy and painting. The other day Gavin got an authentic painting by Wu Daozi and gave it to her beloved daughter. Skye loves it like a treasure. Mingzhan has no interest in such things. He is just a money-grubber and insisted on asking for it. Skye has always been generous to his brother and lent it to him for appreciation. However, Mingzhan accidentally dropped it into the footbath and got it wet. Thinking of Skye's temper, he was so scared that his soul left his body. It was still the Princess of Wei who asked someone to send it out for repair in the hope of hiding it from Skye.

Because he had done something wrong, Mingzhan tried to curry favor with Skye, but Skye already knew about it. Skye wanted to pretend she didn't know, but Mingzhan's random groping today completely pissed Skye off, and she had a fit.

Elijah ran out of Wutong Pavilion as if being chased by a dog, followed by two maids Qingfeng and Mingyue. Mingyue held her belly, her slender waist like a bamboo in the wind, leaned forward and panted, "Fourth Master, you should take a rest, the second lady didn't catch up with us."

Elijah's cheeks were pink, his black eyes were full of spirit when he smiled, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Now that his sister was angry, it was better to avoid her first, so Elijah took the two maids for a walk.

In fact, Elijah had nowhere to go. The people living in the inner courtyard were all his father's c0ncubines, and he was too embarrassed to visit them. Elijah wandered to the inner courtyard garden. His father was a local tyrant, and it was said that this garden was only slightly inferior to the imperial garden in the imperial capital.

There are water, rocks, pavilions, bridges, flowers and grass in the garden. Yunnan has lush flowers and grass, and the garden is full of flowers and fragrance. Elijah found a stone table and stone chair next to the rockery and sat down, holding his chin and watching the fish wagging their tails in the lake. The sun was shining, the clear water was dyed golden, and the fish seemed particularly free and easy.

Qingfeng said softly, "Second Miss's temper comes and goes quickly, Fourth Master, don't worry, Second Miss will be fine when we return soon."

I'm not worried at all, okay? Mingzhan was worried. He's waiting for reinforcements here.

As Skye's twin brother, Mingzhan knows Skye very well. Skye is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. No matter how itchy his hands are, how angry he is, or how much he wants to punish Mingzhan, he will never do it in front of outsiders.

The scope of outsiders is broad. In Skye's concept, except for his biological parents, everyone else is an outsider. Although they have many half-siblings, they seem to be insurmountably alienated from each other since birth.

The reinforcements provided by Elijah and others were his fourth illegitimate sister Lila.

Lila had to pass through this inner garden when she returned to her mother's c0ncubine Yang's chrysanthemum garden after school.
