Yinzhen was very busy this day, and I don't know if the breakfast was because of a bad mood or a really bad appetite, but I just ate a small bowl of lotus seed porridge. When it was time to pass the meal at noon, he hastily ate a few mouthfuls of food because he was busy with official business.

It's already September, the rain began to fall in the afternoon, and the night became heavier and heavier, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the plantain outside the window, which made the melancholy even worse, and really responded to the sentence of "the rain hit the banana".

Yinzhen is still busy, he doesn't rest, and I can't leave, so I have to lean on the couch next to me and embroider the unfinished embroidery

In this way, it was not until it was nearly dawn that Yinzhen put down his pen and got up to walk. I remembered that he hadn't eaten much all day, and when I saw that he was busy, I got up and went to the small kitchen to bring him the stewed Chuanbei pear soup.

When I entered the house, I saw that he was holding the half-embroidered begonia I had embroidered, and I was slightly stunned, thinking of the morning, my heart was even more worried, and my pace slowed down.

Put the pear soup in front of him, took the embroidered bandage from his hand, and said: "I see that you have a little cough today, and your appetite is not good, thinking that it is afraid that it will be hot in autumn recently, so I stewed some Sichuan shellfish and pears, thinking that you don't like sweetness, and only a little rock sugar is put in it, can you taste it?"

Yin Zhen took a bite of the pear soup, and suddenly asked, "You and Lao Fourteen knew each other before?"

Hearing him ask this, the heart that had been hanging fell to the ground. I'm not afraid he asks, I'm afraid he won't. With his temperament, if he doesn't ask, he is afraid that there is a gap in his heart, and he is afraid that he will be slowly alienated in the future, but now that he is willing to ask, it means that he has the heart to give me a chance to explain, as long as the matter is explained clearly, it will be fine.

"Recognize. I was honest and blunt.

"I haven't heard you say that before. Yinzhen's tone was very light, as if talking about the weather, but it made people feel extremely depressed and uneasy.

"On March 3 last year...... "I told Yinzhen about the experience of knowing Yinyu and the two intersections of the Eight Masters Party that I later met on Wangfu Street, but I concealed some of the things behind, just because those things more or less involved Yinzhen and Yinyu's careful thoughts about me, I subconsciously didn't want Yinzhen to know the intersection between me and Yinyu, and I didn't want him to misunderstand what ambiguity I had with his fourteenth brother because of Yinyu's thoughts."

"Yinzhen saw you here that day, it doesn't look like I knew you......" Yinzhen's tone became more and more flat, and he asked this while eating Sydney soup without a bite.

Yinzhen was talking about the time when I came to the study to wait for the second day I entered the house. I didn't expect that day Yinyu pretended not to know, and deliberately ridiculed me for my plain clothes, and he still remembers it.

I pondered for a moment, suppressed some nervousness, and asked with a smile: "If you only have a relationship with a woman for one or two faces, and suddenly you see her in your brother's mansion and know that she is the concubine of your brother Xinna, will you show that you know and know this woman?"

As for why Yinzhen acted like he didn't know me, it was actually a normal reaction that anyone would make, but if I explained this question directly, it would only make Yinzhen feel that I was trying to cover up or find an excuse for the relationship between the two. So I threw the question to him, to treat others as himself, and asked him to think for himself what he would do.

"How much else do you have to hide?" Yinzhen's face softened, but the question was even more aggressive.

For Yinzhen's question, I was really weak-hearted, thought silently for a moment, and asked: "Why do you hide it? It's not an important person, it's not an important thing, if you don't ask, I won't take the initiative not to say it, but if you want to dig deeper, I will definitely tell you bluntly." If you think I'm hiding something, just ask. ”

I didn't want to lie to him, but I couldn't say it outright, so I could only answer like this, do a tai chi, and throw the question back to him in twos and fours.

"Where did you get all the jewelry you pawned? I am afraid that your father's official position will not be able to give you these things as a dowry, but I would like to hear the origin of those things. After drinking the last sip of Sydney soup, Yinzhen pushed the bowl away and asked with a deep look in his eyes.

I was silent at this moment, in fact, I already knew that he would have doubts. Yinzhen is different from other princes, he hates things like greed for ink the most, so the errand beside him has always been Qingshui Yamen, and it is impossible to have any benefits of official filial piety. What's more, Geng's father is just a small manager, and there is nothing that can be begged to do things, so Geng's father is really not able to save such a large fortune just because of his usual wealth.

"Do you believe what I said?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"You haven't said it yet, how do you know that I won't believe it?" Yin Zhen's brows furrowed again.

He rarely frowns in front of people, and all his thoughts and displeasures are hidden under his usual cold appearance. But when he relaxes physically and mentally, he frowns whenever there are mood swings. Such an expression seemed to be visible only in front of those close to him.

I suddenly chuckled, raised my hand to touch his eyebrows without hesitation, and said softly: "Although my family was not born high, my ancestors also followed Taizu to fight the country and came out of a family of high-ranking generals. It's just that my father's generation didn't make any achievements. Those things were left by my ancestors, passed down from generation to generation, and when it came to my father's generation, there were only those left. My parents only have one daughter, and I am married to a prince, and my parents are worried that I will be looked down upon after I enter the house, so they take out all the remaining old bottoms in the family. Some of the jewelry looks old, so I found someone to melt and remake and renovate into new patterns, originally thinking that even if I can't wear it, I can leave a thought, but I didn't expect those things to happen before, so I had to secretly ask someone to send it out of the house to change the silver. “

In fact, these words are not all false, the dowry of the dowry is given by Yinyu, and there are indeed some things handed down by the ancestors, although they are also valuable, but the color and style naturally cannot be compared with those sent by Yinyu. Thanks to Mama Pang at that time, she felt that those things that were too expensive were too ostentatious to take out, and she was afraid that she would be in a hurry to sell them, and the price would be at a loss or it would be difficult to sell, so she took out the pawns at that time, except for a few ornaments with relatively poor quality in the things given by Yinyu, most of the others were things from the ancestors of the Geng family. Because of this, it also gave me a satisfactory statement.

Yin Zhen didn't stop my touch, but closed his eyes and let my fingers touch his eyebrows, soothing his doubts, and his solemn expression eased and relaxed.

Looking at Yinzhen's expression, I judged that he should believe ninety percent of my words, as for the remaining one, with his suspicious character, I am afraid that it will not be able to be solved in a moment, so he can only ponder and verify it himself.

Just when I was relieved to take my hand away, Yinzhen suddenly grabbed the hand I was about to withdraw, and Qingwei asked out loud: "Is it for him to refuse favor?"

The "he" that Yinzhen said must be Yinzhen. I sighed secretly, and said to myself that he really seemed to be worried about this.

I put my other hand over his, taking advantage of his somewhat loose strength, to soothe the pain of his wrist being clenched by him. Then he sat on the edge of the couch next to the small table and looked at him, shook his head helplessly and said, "But some people say that you are a little childish?"

Seeing Yinzhen's gaze became puzzled, he pursed his lips and chuckled: "Naturally not, I like a calm man, he is the same age as me, but he is much more impetuous, not to mention that if I have an ambiguous relationship with him, why don't I let him ask Concubine De Niangniang directly for a favor?"

Yinzhen is more favored by Concubine De than Yinzhen, knowing that this is the pain in Yinzhen's heart, but he still said this, only because of this is more convincing, and it can make him really let go of speculation and calculation about this matter.

Yin Zhen looked abrupt at first, and when he was young, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and he asked rhetorically: "How can you prove it?"

His sudden smile was beyond my expectations, but I felt that this smile was inconsistent with the words, so that I couldn't judge what kind of mind the man in front of me was thinking at this time.

How to prove it - this question really stumped me, and I could only respond carefully: "I can't prove it, I can only say that he who is clear will clear himself." ”

Yinzhen suddenly took me into his arms, tightly restrained me who wanted to struggle to get up, and said, "I will let you prove it." ”

Before I could react, he leaned down and pressed his warm, soft lips on mine.
