Leaving Song Man and Xue Baoliang to deal with the rest of the matter, Zhou Chengkuan sent Lin Wan, who had been busy all day, back to the room to rest first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Walking on the path back to Songzhu Courtyard, Lin Wan looked up at the dark night sky and the full moon with a glimmer of light. Exhaled softly, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in my heart.

Zhou Chengkuan persuaded softly: "Wan'er, don't think too much, there are so many people around Tianqi to help him, and General Qi is here, you can rest assured." ”

"Hmm. Lin Wan nodded lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chengkuan, is there anyone in your heart who can't let go?"

Zhou Chengkuan was stunned when he heard this, and a beautiful little face appeared in front of him, and that smile was deeply engraved in his heart, however, he may never see each other again in this life. Helplessly, he smiled faintly, shook his head, and did not answer Lin Wan's question.

Lin Wan turned his head to look at Zhou Chengkuan, thought for a while, and asked, "Is it Sister Rong or Sister Yan?"

Zhou Chengkuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't guess, the two of them are like my own sisters." ”

Lin Wan thought for a while and asked again, "Is she in the capital?"

Zhou Chengkuan was stunned again, and his eyes dodged for a moment.

Lin Wan suddenly became interested and asked very gossipy, "Who is she?"

Zhou Chengkuan's face turned red, turned his head, didn't look at Lin Wan, and said with a smile: "No, what are you guessing nonsense? I can't let go of anyone who teases you." ”

Lin Wan lowered his head and pondered, thinking, Zhou Chengkuan entered the palace before he was seven years old, and left the capital after staying in the palace for two years, if there is really such a person in the capital that he can't let go, it must be in the palace.

Suddenly, a word appeared in Lin Wan's mind -- wish! The slightly hoarse voice of the dignified and demure woman seemed to sound in his ears again: "At the end of the world, I only wish Jun An!"

Lin Wan was shocked, looked at Zhou Chengkuan fixedly, and said, "Brother Chengkuan, does she know that you are still alive?"

Zhou Chengkuan turned his head, looked at Lin Wan's suddenly serious expression, frowned, hesitated, and said, "She knows." If she hadn't helped me cover, Uncle Zhong and I wouldn't have been able to get out of the palace, and we would have been burdened by Concubine Yu. ”

Lin Wan asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Chengkuan looked at the full moon in the treetops, his eyes gradually drifted away, and his voice was soft: "On that day, Concubine Yu asked her chief eunuch to hide me and Uncle Zhong under the carriage and smuggle them out of the palace in the name of going out of the palace to buy. However, when he was about to reach the palace gate, he was stopped by the queen's guards. She was passing by the side of the road, and she was still small and short, and she saw me as soon as she bent down, but she quietly pretended to fall and be injured, and drew the queen's guards away. ”

Lin Wan had already determined, he was talking about Lu Manyi, sighed lightly, and said: "Sister Manyi is still thinking about you, she said, 'At the end of the world, I only wish Jun An'." ”

Zhou Chengkuan's calm heart suddenly turned up a monstrous wave, and he was speechless for a while. Looking at Lin Wan in front of him, he wanted to ask Lu Manyi about the situation, but it was difficult to speak.

During the two years in the palace, Zhou Chengkuan was often bullied by the princes, and even the eunuchs serving around him did not really regard him as their master. He followed Zhou Tianhong every day to ask for peace in the Yunxia Palace of the queen mother, although the queen mother did not deliberately embarrass him, she always deliberately ignored him.

The queen mother would test Zhou Tianhong's homework every day, and naturally left him for lunch at noon. But Zhou Chengkuan had been waiting outside the hall, and no one thought of him after noon.

Zhou Chengkuan was used to it, and he didn't take it to heart, the big deal was to let the palace maid go to the kitchen to bring some cold rice and cold dishes to eat after he went back. At that time, he thought, his father and mother are also suffering and sinning, what is his own suffering?

At noon on a summer day, Zhou Chengkuan sat on the corridor outside the queen's palace, quietly waiting for Zhou Tianhong to come out, and then left the harem together.

"Are you Brother Tiancheng?" asked a little girl in pink makeup standing in front of him, with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and smiling.

Zhou Tiancheng nodded, and looked at the little girl in front of him who took the initiative to show favor with an expressionless face, the little girl was about five or six years old, wearing a white palace dress, very cute, but looking at her face that looked like the queen's mother, Zhou Tiancheng felt very disgusted.

"Brother Tiancheng, my name is Lu Manyi, and the queen mother is my aunt. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand hidden behind his back, held a few pastries wrapped in handkerchiefs in both hands, and said with a smile: "This is delicious, for you to eat!"

Zhou Tiancheng looked at the exquisite pastries in front of him, felt a little hungry again, frowned, swallowed his saliva, turned his face away, and refused: "I'm not hungry." ”

Lu Manyi turned to him again, took a piece and fed it to his mouth, and then pouted and begged: "Brother Tiancheng, I took it out secretly, you can help me finish it together, otherwise my aunt will find out and teach me a lesson." ”

Zhou Tiancheng turned his head, looked at the tempting pastries, and swallowed again.

Lu Manyi took Zhou Tiancheng's hand and said, "Let's go and eat in the back, no one will find out about us." So saying, he took him and ran to the small garden behind the palace.

The little hand was soft and warm, but it was frowned by Zhou Tiancheng and shook it off in disgust.

Lu Manyi stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, a pair of aggrieved big eyes were full of tears, her mouth was deflated, and she asked with sobs: "Brother Tiancheng, why do you hate me?"

Zhou Tiancheng was also panicked at that time, for fear that the queen would know about it and punish him. He hurriedly helped Lu Manyi up, and explained anxiously: "I, I didn't mean to, are you okay?"

Lu Manyi burst into tears and laughed, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Brother Tiancheng, you eat these pastries, I didn't stain them when I fell just now." ”

Zhou Tiancheng frowned, and reluctantly ate those pastries, and he still remembers the sweet taste of osmanthus cakes.

Since then, Lu Manyi often secretly brings snacks to him behind everyone's back, although he can't say a few words, but he has gradually become a tacit good friend. No one knows except the two of them. If Lin Wan didn't ask, Zhou Chengkuan hadn't thought of his childhood friend for a long time.

However, in Lu Manyi's small heart, she attaches great importance to this unknown friendship. Nine-year-old Zhou Tiancheng, that handsome and upright figure, as well as that silent and sad look, and that rare smile, have been deeply engraved in the depths of her young heart.

Maybe it's not love, but it's a sadness that can't be forgotten, and it's a sweetness that is endlessly aftertasted.

The past is like the wind, blowing through the dusty memories. After a long time, Zhou Chengkuan was finally relieved, smiled faintly, and asked, "Are Wan'er and Miss Lu friends in the girl?" (To be continued.) )
