Fanwai (Du Ruyin).
The first time I saw him, it was in the Bauhinia Palace, he was wearing a purple official uniform, talking to a few officials, slightly raised eyebrows, unquestionable gestures, and a true kingly demeanor. ∮ Yan Moxuan ∮ ad-free ∮
"Third brother. Princess Yiyang greeted with a smile.
He turned his face, and the sun warmly caressed the grace between his eyebrows, and the natural nobility poured out without words.
He said a few words casually to Princess Yiyang, and didn't notice that behind Princess Yiyang, there was a little me.
"This is my third brother, my father's favorite third prince, Nan Chengyao, I asked you to practice the shadow dance just to show him. When he and the officials walked away, Princess Yiyang smiled slightly and spoke to me.
The joy in my heart suddenly rose uncontrollably, and in this joy, there was also a little melancholy.
When he was talking to Princess Yiyang facing us, he didn't look at me, even though I wore a veil according to Princess Yiyang's instructions, which was unreasonable, but he didn't ask a word.
"Why don't you speak?"
Princess Yiyang turned her head to look at me, but there was no trace of superfluous emotion in my eyes except for pure shyness, since I can remember, the most I have done is to cover myself, and it has become a habit over the years.
"Yin Yin was just thinking, why did the princess let Yin Yin wear a veil, if the Third Highness saw Yin Yin's appearance, maybe, maybe......" I muttered, my face turned crimson, and my voice became smaller and smaller, and I didn't continue this shallow word.
However, just a few sentences are enough, in the eyes of Princess Yiyang, I am just a shallow woman who knows a little cleverness, but she can't become the climate and can be sent by her.
Sure enough, Princess Yiyang smiled casually: "It's not the time yet, my third brother is not an ordinary character, if you can't get into his eyes with a blockbuster, then even if you have this good face, it will only be in vain, wait a minute, wait until you practice the shadow dance more proficiently, and then I will personally blow the music for you to accompani." ”
I lowered my eyebrows and obediently answered "yes", but I didn't expect that this would be a few months.
He called himself sick and went out to Mobei, until I finally looked forward to his triumph, at the celebration banquet of the Qinghe Palace, I danced and photographed the four seats, and when the eyes fell on him inadvertently with anticipation, my heart couldn't stop being cold, he, drunk?
It's not that I'm not disappointed, I've been practicing dance for so long, but he just leans on his princess's arms, smiling at her drunkenly.
That woman, very strange, since that hurried glance on the street of Shangjing, I have never forgotten her, at this moment, she is holding the best man in the entire Southern Dynasty in her arms, even if the smile on her lips is like a grace, but that embarrassing gesture, how can it be hidden?
How can such a woman be worthy of him, just, just because of her background?
When I got home, I didn't feel sleepy at all, but I still forced myself to close my eyes and count the butterflies to sleep, just hoping that tomorrow I could have a good complexion and let him see the most beautiful version of myself.
However, I don't want to get the news after dawn that he was poisoned?
From the moment I realized that I was panicking, I also understood that he was more than just a tall branch in my heart that could help me climb out of my predicament.
I met him, and he was like a dream I've had since I was born, and even if it wasn't love, I couldn't force myself to accept the other branches.
Therefore, I tried my best to take care of him who stayed in the Bauhinia Palace to recuperate, even if it was, I had never been so dedicated to my mother's sickbed back then.
I thought it was just a means, but slowly I realized that there were many things that I didn't have to deliberate at all, and it was my heart that made me do it.
Perhaps, it was just because of the warmth between his eyebrows and eyes when he painted my dancing posture.
Perhaps, it was just because of the intoxicating softness in his eyes when he looked at me.
Perhaps, it was just because of his gentle call - "groaning".
Everything becomes beautiful and willing.
When Princess Yiyang chose the opportunity to mention to the emperor that he wanted him to accept me as a concubine, he was silent, for the first time in his life, I was so nervous that I couldn't even breathe.
But I didn't expect that after a moment of silence, he actually mentioned the side princess to the emperor, I looked at him in disbelief, but found that his figure was getting more and more blurred, I blinked hard, blinked again, but still couldn't see clearly, it turned out that I don't know when, I have tears on my face.
This is the first time in my long years that I have forgotten to hide myself, he came over, gently wiped the tears from my face, and his voice sounded softly-
Father, I don't want to wronged her.
He said.
At that moment, I suddenly felt that even if I wanted to die for him immediately, I was willing.
I thought I would soon be able to stand by his side justifiably, but the emperor's sudden illness caused our wedding to be postponed.
He was so gentle when he comforted me, but a woman's intuition is always the most accurate, and I tried to find it, from his eyebrows and eyes to his tone, but I couldn't find any regrets.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that I agreed with what my father said, and in the name of service, I followed him into the Three Kings' Mansion.
On the first day I entered the house, the first time I saw the woman, I even practiced breathing a thousand times.
Later, I gradually realized that she was not what I did, so cowardly and vulnerable, but I never thought that such a weak and arrogant woman could become so strong for the sake of her children.
Actually, I didn't know she was pregnant.
But she was right, and the comfort benzoin I gave her had an extra musk than what I was used to.
I still remember the scene in Qingyang Palace, Concubine Qing's mother didn't know why she asked Princess Yiyang to bring me into the palace for her to see, the three of them were saying polite words, but they didn't want a palace maid to take a sachet to come to Qingguifei and whispered a few words, Concubine Qing's beautiful face immediately turned pale with anger, grabbed the sachet and threw it on the ground: "This * dares to put musk in the sachet that was given to me, she wants to make the palace unable to give birth to a child, the palace will never let her go!"
Princess Yiyang and I were both frightened by her loss of control, and she immediately noticed her gaffe, forced herself to suppress her emotions, and spoke: "Princess, Miss Du, I'm really sorry, I still have some things to take care of, so I won't leave you." ”
Princess Yiyang and I naturally retreated, and when she was about to walk out of the palace gate, she suddenly called Princess Yiyang in a low voice: "Princess, I am out of shape, don't let your father know." ”
Princess Yiyang looked back at her with a smile: "Niangniang's graceful bearing is what Yiyang has always wanted to learn, how can she lose her temper, we just drank tea together and chatted about family life." ”
Concubine Qing nodded with a smile, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes.
It is this kind of look that removes my vigilance against her, even now, I am still not sure, whether she deliberately wants to frame me, or all this is just a coincidence, she is the imperial concubine, why should she be embarrassed by me, let alone have no reason to murder the flesh and blood of the Third Highness.
I remember Princess Yiyang's meaningful smile, out of Qingyang Palace, she chuckled in a tone that only the two of us could hear: "Didn't Yin Yin say that your aunt has been dealing in spices for generations, if that unknown concubine can get the incense prepared by your aunt herself, it won't be so quickly found out that there is a musk hidden in it, right?"
If not, she is really pregnant, yes.
However, between the facts and expectations, there is always a chasm across the moat, she is pregnant, she notices, and the child has not fallen.
I gritted my teeth, trying to make my voice not as pale as my heart.
"Your Highness will never let Yin Yin go unchecked. I said.
She just smiled condescendingly, and her voice became softer and softer: "What kind of person is the Third Highness, you must also know that he will never delay the right path for the sake of his children's personal affairs, do you think he will offend my entire Murong family for the sake of your little daughter of a cabinet attendant?"
Do I know? I don't know.
When he searched for strange flowers and plants all over the world for me and sent them to the Shaoyi Pavilion, when he took me to enjoy the flowers and visit the lake to go to the spring banquet, he was so gentle and considerate, and the eyes of the world were envious and jealous, I thought that he loved me.
But, more often than not, I asked myself over and over again, do I know him?
The answer is never yes.
