When Liang Luo woke up, the sun had already risen very high. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Seeing the pink curtains and quilts, Liang Luo was a little puzzled, and quickly got up and found himself sleeping on Princess Anping's bed.
Hearing the movement, Princess Anping walked in from outside the screen, "You're finally awake." ā
Liang Luo remembered yesterday's incident, he was very embarrassed, and responded, not knowing what to do.
"Let's have a bite to eat. Princess Anping pulled Liang Luo to sit down at the table and pushed a bowl of duck porridge in front of him.
The freshly served duck porridge is full and moist with rice grains, the duck meat is minced but not scattered, and the aroma is mixed with hot air bursts, which is very attractive.
However, Liang Luo didn't have any appetite.
"Eat a little bit, you haven't eaten in a day. Seeing that Liang Luo didn't move, Princess Anping picked up the bowl and put a spoonful to Liang Luo's mouth.
Looking at Princess Anping's sincere eyes, Liang Luo couldn't bear to refuse, so he took the spoon and took a bite.
"Eat a little more. Princess Anping saw that he didn't move again, and hurriedly said.
"Enough is enough. Liang Luo said.
Princess Anping saw that he really had no appetite, so she stopped forcing him.
The two men sat with their heads bowed, silent.
After a long time, Princess Anping raised her head and said slowly: "From today onwards, let's start again, I am not to blame for the past." ā
Liang Luo frowned, glanced at Princess Anping deeply, and asked, "Why are you so troubled?"
Princess Anping smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what else can I do? What's more, if anyone doesn't know about our affairs, just forget it, won't it make the world laugh at it? Besides, if my father knows about it, will he let you and your family go?"
The reason is very good, and it progresses in layers until it is fatal. Even if Liang Luo is not afraid of death, then so many lives in Liang Mansion must be sent to death because of his willfulness? Of course not.
Liang Luo clenched his fists, closed his eyes tightly, and desperately suppressed the torrent surging in his heart.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, his eyes were desolate, and he slowly spoke: "Okay." I promise you that I will never see Mu Xiaoxiao again. ā
This was the answer Princess Anping wanted, and she nodded.
"But......" Liang Luo added, "you must keep her safe and not let her be harmed in any way." You have to promise me that. ā
Princess Anping's throat moved up and down, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay! I promise you! But you must not lose your word when you promise me." ā
Liang Luo nodded, and said the word "good" almost inaudibly.
Although Liang Luo was reluctant to agree, as long as he agreed, Princess Anping could rest assured. Liang Luo is a man of his word, and what he has said is absolutely counted.

Mu Xiaoxiao stayed in the bamboo garden all day long, and the wind and rain were shocking outside, but she didn't know anything.
She likes her current life very much, she likes the indifferent boy who is as indifferent as the wind, looking at the green bamboo garden every day, looking at the handsome young man, and her heart is as quiet as a lake.
There is no struggle here, no scheming, just like a peach blossom paradise outside the world, which is like this deep palace.
However, this is just Mu Xiaoxiao's thoughts, and in the eyes of others, what they see is not like this.
Guangxi is always faint, he can't see the joy and sorrow, and he can't see the wind and the moon.
Du Juan was a little anxious, seeing that the days were passing day by day, Guangxi hadn't spoken a few words to her, obviously didn't see her in his eyes, so how could he have a chance to ascend to the concubine position?
However, what made her a little relieved was that Guangxi's attitude towards Mu Xiaoxiao was also light, no different from other palace maids.
At least this is a good thing for Du Juan, what she is most worried about is Mu Xiaoxiao's threat, but fortunately nothing has happened so far.
Guangxi naturally saw what the palace maid named Du Juan was thinking, but he didn't debunk it, just treated it coldly.
For more than ten years, there has never been a woman who can make Guangxi's heart move, and there are very few who can even attract his attention.
And the only woman who made Guangxi curious was Mu Xiaoxiao. It's just that Guangxi's curiosity about her is very special, and she feels indescribable.
Guangxi told himself that it was not a heartbeat, but he had never been heartbeat, so how could he know what a heartbeat was?

Liang Luo didn't come to see Mu Xiaoxiao again, and she was finally clean, but she was full of loss.
The night was as cold as water, Mu Xiaoxiao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and came to the garden, sat in front of the stone bench, and looked up at the moon.
The waning moon is like a hook, scattering a cold light, accompanied by a few lone stars, rendering the deep night into a picture. It's just that there is too much white space, and it looks very empty.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked up, his thoughts drifted far, far away, and he couldn't recover for a while.
"Mu Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here alone without sleeping in the middle of the night?"
A voice sounded in the dark night, startling Mu Xiaoxiao.
By the moonlight, Mu Xiaoxiao looked back, and Guangxi, who was dressed in white, was standing behind him and looking at him.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly got up and saluted, but Guangxi waved her hand to sit down.
With hesitation, Mu Xiaoxiao sat down in place again, and Guangxi also sat down slowly beside her.
"Third Prince, why didn't you go to bed?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
Guangxi looked up at the moon and said, "I can't sleep, so I come out for a walk." What about you, why don't you sleep?"
"I can't sleep, so I'm out for a walk. Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Is there anything on your mind?" Guangxi turned his head and looked at Mu Xiaoxiao.
The moonlight sprinkled into Guangxi's eyes, rippling out a sea of stars, bright and brilliant.
Being looked at by such a handsome young man, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, blushed slightly, and said, "No...... Nothing on the mind, just insomnia. ā
"Hmm. Guangxi responded, stopped looking at her, and slowly pulled out the jade flute from his waist.
"What tune do you want to listen to, I can blow it to you?" Kwang-hee asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, pondered for a moment and said, "I want to hear Huajian Xi." ā
"Do you know this tune?" Kwang-hee asked.
"What's wrong with this song?" Looking at Guangxi's surprised face, Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
"It's a very old piece of music, and the score has long been lost. Hardly anyone can play this tune now, and very few people even know about it. How do you know?" asked Kwang-hee.
"When I was younger, my mother used to play this tune to me. Mu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Your mother, dare to ask your mother's name?" asked Guangxi, he didn't expect Mu Xiaoxiao's mother to play this song, it must not be an ordinary person.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly said: "I am from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, my mother's name is Ah Hua, and I don't have a big name. Maybe my mother is also hearsay. ā
Guangxi nodded, but she wasn't sure if what Mu Xiaoxiao said was true or false, but she didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask.
Seeing that Guangxi was silent, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a little weak, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to be silent.
"Do you know this song?" Kwang-hee asked.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned and nodded slightly.
