The feast was as joyous and peaceful as every feast my mother has ever held. Li Rui won without doubt, his father rewarded him with a royal horse, a scholar in Ruzhou won the paste, was recorded as the second, tried the right to pick up the legacy, gave money and a number of ropes, and the rest of the people also have their own official rewards, I and Wan'er's reward was issued in the name of my mother, one is twenty horses of Shudi Xingong's jacquard brocade, although this thing is expensive, it is nothing in the palace, but as my father once rewarded Li Rui's new money, it is rare to ask for a new color. My mother looked at me lovingly, stroked my forehead, and said, "Go back and ask the nurse to take you to rest early, and don't always quarrel with them." ”

I suspected that my mother knew about Wei Huan's quarrel with me, and I was afraid that she would investigate it, so I hurriedly said: "I have been studying and riding horses all day long, and there is no nonsense." ”

My mother smiled and tied my cloak for me, and said: "Looking at your scriptures, it is indeed a little progressive, but don't stick to the classics, you can also learn from literature and history." Wan'er has a lot of experience in this, and you can still come to her when you are free. ”

I listened to my mother talk about Wan'er's talent again and again, and knew that Wan'er was valued by her, so she said in a loud voice: "I'll come tomorrow." ”

My mother's hand stopped, looked at me, and said, "Don't be too anxious, as long as you are attentive to learning, sooner or later, you must achieve something, don't push yourself too hard." She tied the tie into a beautiful knot, tuck the folds of the cloak for me, and said, "You don't ask for officials, you don't want to govern the country, you are born with glory and wealth, and you don't have to suffer for yourself—there is a grandmother in everything." ”

Before, it was clear that she asked me to study politics with Wan'er, and said how my short-lived sister was, but now she told me not to worry, my mother's heart, I really don't understand, I can only do yes, my mother looked me up and down, suddenly squatted down, and hugged me. Although her strength was not as strong as her father's, she was really big, she hugged me off the ground, put me down again, and said with a smile: "You were still such a small person in the past, but now you are about to catch up with A-Niang." ”

I don't know why she suddenly had such a feeling, deliberately stood on tiptoe, compared her right hand to the top, and said: "A-Niang coaxed me, I tiptoed, not as good as A-Niang's shoulders, maybe I will never be as tall as A-Niang in the future, when people think I'm short, I won't marry me, I will stay in the palace and accompany A-Niang for the rest of my life." ”

My mother burst out laughing, and even the people who were waiting next to me laughed, and my mother poked my face with one hand and said, "What nonsense, you are my daughter, who dares to dislike you? I am only afraid that when you reach your age, you will fall in love with someone else's handsome little Langjun, crying and shouting that you want to be someone else's family." ”

I was very disapproving, so I had to pretend to be ashamed on my face, and said: "Even if I get married, I am still A-Niang's daughter, and when I give birth to children in the future, I will have the surname of A-Niang, and they are all A-Niang's grandsons." ”

This is true, if my mother really becomes an emperor in the future, I am afraid that even Li Rui will have to change her surname to Wu, let alone me?

The mother's smile suddenly retracted, her eyes swept around, and the people around her stopped laughing as if their faces were frozen, and quickly retreated. My mother frowned, half-squatted down, looked into my eyes with flat eyes, and said lightly, "Who told you this?"

I looked at her and said, "Nobody told me this, just... Minzhi's cousin didn't have the surname Wu in the first place, he can change his surname, so why can't I? I also want to have the same surname as A-Niang. ”

Mother's brows loosened again, patted my face, and said with a smile: "Don't say this in the future, besides, A-Niang will punish you to go to the Buddhist hall to copy the scriptures, copy them a thousand times." ”

I said: "I know, I can't let Aya and Rokuro hear this, I can only tell A-Niang, there are all A-Niang's people around me, it's okay." ”

My mother couldn't laugh or cry, slapped me the head, and shouted, "Don't talk to anyone! ”

I stuck my tongue out at her, and I didn't get on my face, and trotted all the way back.

Wei Huan saw it when I entered the courtyard, but pretended not to see it, turned around and walked into the house, and when I entered the house, she went to the inner room again, sat on the side of a few cases, and pretended to read a book in her hand.

I asked someone to watch outside, Fang gently leaned next to Wei Huan, poked her shoulder, and called "Ah Huan", she ignored me, I saw that she was reading my book "Han Zi", so I joked: "Shangguan and everyone have explained it to me, if you don't understand anything, just ask me." ”

Wei Huan glanced up at me, and changed to another copy of "Lao Tzu" to see, I smiled and said: "I can recite this book, but I don't understand the righteousness in it, why don't you teach me?" Wei Huan glared at me, I just smiled at her, and bowed my hand to her to ask for advice, because of a little alcohol, I only said with a mixed mouth: "Master Wei, Mr. Wei, Fourth Lady Wei, please teach me, or just say a word to me, you say a word, I am happy." ”

Wei Huan covered the book, leaned forward, touched my face, sniffed in front of me, frowned, and said, "Drunk?"

I said, "Just one cup." ”

She rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to call someone, but I grabbed her and said, "Don't call them, I have something to whisper to you." ”

Wei Huan said coldly: "If you want to talk about poetry and Taoism with your friends, just Xuan Cui Mingde and Wang Ping, what are you pulling me for?"

My mind was sharp at the moment, and I actually caught her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Ah Huan, you... Don't like me and Cui Mingde?"

Wei Huan sneered: "They are all the daughters of the ministers, and their families are illustrious, I am just a little palace man pulled in by a mule from the corner gate, how can I dare to compare with them?"

I said, "If the minister is not a minister, what does it matter if he has a friendship with us? Do I still care about your family background?"

Wei Huan was angered by these words, stood up and said, "You are a princess, so naturally you don't have to care about the family background of the palace people around you." ”

When I heard this, Fang knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, so he hurriedly stood up, grabbed her and said, "Ah Huan, I didn't mean that you are from the palace... Although you don't have a name, in my heart, you are much more important than a name. ”

Wei Huan sneered, got up and was about to go out, I hurriedly called her: "Where are you going?"

Wei Huan didn't look back and said, "Naturally, I went to fetch water to serve the princess and wash your clothes." ”

I couldn't hold her, so I simply stepped over from the small table, hugged her and said, "The princess said you are not allowed to go!"

Wei Huan stood still, her face was even more angry, and she came to fight my hand again, and I said, "The princess doesn't allow you to move!" She stopped, so angry that her chest was rising and falling, and she just stared down at me with cold eyes.

I saw that she didn't move, Fang let go of his hand, stood in front of her, and said: "You say it horizontally and vertically, in fact, it's just that you are hurting yourself, I don't treat you like what you say, you know it in your heart, otherwise, how dare you do this to me?"

Wei Huan calmed down suddenly, the corners of his mouth were deliberately hooked, and he said with a smile: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

I have never seen such an awkward person in my life, so I endured my anger and said: "I never treat you as a slave, I know this, and you know it." ”

Wei Huan said: "The concubine only knows that the concubine was summoned by His Majesty to serve the princess, and she is naturally the princess's slave, no matter how the princess treats the concubine, the concubine treats the princess with the same loyalty." ”

I was so angry that she stomped my feet, and unconsciously sneered: "If you want to treat yourself as a person, then I can't do it, you can do it yourself." ”

Wei Huan didn't care about my words, he really went out, fetched water, and served me for one night like a palace person, and when I went to bed, he made a quilt on the ground again, ready to sleep on the ground.

I was very angry, and now seeing that she really wants to sleep on the ground, I can't bear it, don't turn my face, and say quickly: "I was wrong, you... Come up and sleep. ”

As if she hadn't heard, she packed up her bedding and lay down on her side, covered only with a large padded jacket, which I guess was warmer than this one.

At this time, it was a harsh winter, the wind was whistling outside, just listening to this sound, I felt that my teeth were going to fight up and down, although there was a stove in the house and a carpet, I still had to cover a big quilt to not feel cold, Wei Huan only had such a thing on his body that was not clothed and was not covered, how could it be warm?

I rolled over and over on the bed for a long time before I said in a rough voice: "Wei Gongren, the princess told you to come up to sleep." Seeing that Wei Huan still didn't move, he got up and walked over, pushed her shoulder, and said, "Hey, I called you." ”

Wei Huan got up silently, hung her head and walked to the side of the bed with a padded jacket, I saw that her demeanor was different, I chased after her in small steps, and came to her side to take a look, but I saw that her eyes were red, as if she had cried, and when I saw her, she raised her face and pursed her lips and said, "It's night, princess, go to sleep." ”

I was still a little annoyed, but when I saw her like this, that little annoyance disappeared unconsciously, and I wanted to reach out to hug her, but I didn't dare for a while, so I let her lie down, crawled to her side, and said softly: "I know that I have many bad things, but I really treat you as a friend." ”

Wei Huan was silent for a while, and then said, "There are so many people accompanying you, why did you fall in love with me in the first place?"
