Da Yin Palace, Falling Water Courtyard.

Female officials don't like to walk around the courtyard at night, now it's just a meal, this neighborhood is already very deserted, these women who are in the palace all the year round in addition to their work on weekdays, the night time is playing bridge and occasionally singing a few scenes, although this life is quiet and lonely, but few women will leave the palace in order to get married, because they are used to the life in the palace, in the eyes of some people, to be a beautiful and enviable caged bird, it is better than marrying outside the palace to live the days of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but when I think of my old face and no children under my knees, I will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, as if his youth was confessed in this palace, but he did not leave anything, anyone who could remember him.

These high palace walls are very powerful and interesting, and when you first come in, you love the luxury, the food and wine, and after a long time you get used to the life in the palace until you can no longer live here.

The women outside the walls want to get in and it is difficult to get in, and the women inside the walls want to get out and get out, this is the power of the palace system.

In an inconspicuous courtyard, two women, one large and one small, knelt in front of the guzheng, and the faint sound of the piano calmly crossed the lake not far away, causing a ripple.

"Sister Su, are you thinking about Brother Xiaozhao?" After the sound of the piano stopped, a childish and delicate voice appeared in Su Nianyu's ears, and the person who spoke was the daughter of the eldest princess, looking at the woman with empty and lonely eyes, and said such a sentence seriously.

She sighed softly, looked listlessly at the sheet music in front of her, and pointed to one of the tunes, and her voice was tasteless: "Play this "Sauvignon Blanc" again, you should go back to rest early, girls sleeping too late are not good for their skin, don't be as old as my sister, you can see a little dark circles under your eyes." ”

Faced with Su Nianyu's deliberate neglect of her own problems, she pursed her crystal pink lips, and said in an old-fashioned manner imitating the tone of an adult: "I heard my mother say that Brother Xiaozhao brought a very beautiful vixen back in Xilin, it is said that she is so beautiful and beautiful, Sister Su, you are not angry, even I am angry." ”

Su Nianyu suddenly wanted to laugh when she heard her playful tone, but sighed faintly and said: "What are you angry about, what am I angry about, isn't it normal for many girls to like people like your brother Xiaozhao? There is no man in this world who is really devoted to a woman, you should be satisfied if you can occupy a place in his heart, these truths will be understood when you grow up." ”

"I understand it when I grow up, and my mother often prevaricates me like this, what do I don't understand about the three wives and four concubines, aren't all the officials in the court like this? But Uncle Meng is very good to my mother, he said that in the future, my mother will be a woman in his heart, and there will be no other people. ”

"If you lie, people will change. ”

"It's true. Li Nianyuan insisted.

Su Nianyu looked at her crystal clear eyes and was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe it's just that Sister Su is not as good as your mother's life." ”

"Brother Xiaozhao is already very good. ”

Su Nianyu's anger suddenly came up, slapped her hand on the piano score, and said angrily: "Yes, yes, your little brother Zhao is the best, play this song "Sauvignon Blanc" three times quietly, and don't talk about him again, otherwise I will tell your mother that you are lazy to play the piano." ”

Li Nianyuan pouted and didn't speak, silently plucked the long strings, looking a little unconvinced, and his peach face was bulging.

Su Nianyu listened to the sound of the piano that appeared in her ears again, and sighed low in her heart, she could be brought back to the palace by him from outside the palace, as a woman in the Qinglou, she should be very satisfied, she didn't have to be an assassin on the one hand and a qin Ji at the same time, this kind of life of playing the piano at night to please the guests, and taking the sword to ask for people's lives in the middle of the night, I really don't know who I am after a long time, just a puppet in the hands of others, and no one cares if it is thrown into the garbage heap if it is broken, she does not regret following Chu Xianzhao back to the palace, and Chu Xianzhao took her to Yan Mang, the first time between the two of them happened in a foreign land, so she and he will be so unscrupulous。

Now the days of worry-free food and clothing are supposed to be very satisfying, but as a caged finch that feels difficult to survive without being fed by its owner, she is just a little lonely in her heart.

Thinking of the past of the two, her face flushed with a touching flush, and she subconsciously wanted to put her hand on her stomach, but the hand still hung down.

"Angry, my sister didn't mean to scold you, but she was very messed up in her heart...... It's messy. Su Nianyu stroked a strand of green silk hanging down to her forehead, pinched her delicate earlobe, and suddenly asked, "Why do you care so much about Chu Xuanzhao's affairs, is he your cousin?"

"Brother, he's my brother. The child's temperament is not to hold grudges, especially when talking about the topics she is interested in, she stopped the piano in her hand and said: "My father died in the war in the west, I have lived outside the palace with my grandfather since I was a child, and my brother Xiaozhao will bring me sugar gourd every time he goes out of the palace to see me, and my mother has not seen me as many times as he has, when I was very young, I thought he was my father." ”

"Yes, Chu Xianzhao is always very good to girls, so good that everyone likes him, but he only has one. ”

She comforted herself like this, and Li Nianyuan said again: "I don't know much what love is, but I like Brother Xiaozhao, I also like Sister Su, I like to like many people, but love can only love one person, Sister Su loves him alone, I don't like Xiao Yuan'er." ”

She smiled softly at this fairy tale, stretched out her slender and white arm to hug this lovely girl, and said: "Of course Sister Su likes you, you don't know how much cuter than Brother Xiaozhao, at least you can touch and see it, unlike your Brother Xiaozhao who is a dragon all day long."

Who told you that you can like many people, and you can only love one person?"

Li Nianyuan squirmed in her arms, her face flushed, and she whispered: "That's what is written in the books, and I also wrote down this sentence, the ancients did not deceive me." ”

Su Nianyu rubbed her little head, showed a big smile, and praised: "Xiao Yuan'er is really good at talking, and she remembers the things in the book quite clearly, and there is no ambiguity at all." ”

Li Nianyuan said again: "But Sister Su's heart is very vague, and she hasn't figured out a lot of things, so her heart is very messy, the difference between liking and love is quite big, if a person likes you, it is likely that he just likes your face and voice, when a person loves you, he will pay more attention to what you think in his heart, girls like boys who make her laugh, but what she really loves is the man who makes her cry, has Sister Su ever cried for Brother Xiaozhao?"

Su Nianyu smiled even more happily and said, "You see these words from the book? ”

Li Nianyuan looked at Su Nianyu and said, "Some of them are read in books, and some of them are what I think, if Sister Su can figure it out, maybe she won't be worried." ”

Su Nianyu sighed faintly, touched her head, pouted like a little girl, and said in a low voice: "Maybe." ”

Li Nianyuan, whose face was as delicate as a freshly peeled egg, frowned and pouted: "Always touch a child's head, it won't grow tall, I went to Weeping Eagle Wan two days ago to help Brother Xiaozhao plant flowers, and I saw that beautiful and beautiful vixen, Brother Xiaozhao was not there at the time, and I didn't dare to talk to the vixen, but she was really beautiful, and her breasts were so big." ”

Su Nianyu was a little weak and asked, "How big?"

Li Nianyuan suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked at her blankly, Su Nianyu coughed lightly twice, and pretended to be serious: "She is a guest brought back from Xilin by Brother Xiaozhao, and she is not allowed to say that she is a fox spirit, and it is very unladylike to call other women like this." ”

Li Nianyuan raised his head and said with some confusion: "Sister Su, if you really love Brother Xiaozhao, you should go and fight with that vixen, instead of sitting here absentmindedly teaching me to play the piano, and then ask me about Brother Xiaozhao on the side." ”

Su Nianyu was noncommittal, rubbing her head harder and harder, but her eyes fell on the door, and said softly: "Xiao Yuan'er, it's not your mother or Sister Su who prevaricates you, some truths really won't be understood until you grow up, but it may be soon, and then you will understand that when you really fall in love with someone, you always hope that he can be happy, if you love someone, you have to ask him to be with you, completely ignoring his feelings, is this still love?" It is lucky to be with you all day long, as long as that person has you in his heart, no matter how far he goes, he will return to you, and sometimes letting go is also a kind of love. ”

The child looked at her in a daze, and Su Nianyu smiled: "Having said so much,

It's still the same sentence, and you'll understand it when you grow up. ”

Li Nianyu said pitifully: "Sister Su, how does this kind of love sound so miserable, why don't I take you to Chuiyingwan to find Brother Xiaozhao, I also want to play with him, and by the way, I will give him the song that my sister taught me." ”

Li Nianyuan grabbed her arm and shook it repeatedly like a coquette, Su Nianyu raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't go to him so late, dare to love you didn't listen to what I just said so much?" Hurry up and play the piano, believe it or not, I turned around and told the eldest princess that you always like to be lazy when you play the piano." ”

Li Nianyuan twitched his pink nose, looked at her without tears, and suddenly said excitedly: "Brother Xiaozhao, you are here, Sister Su, look." ”

Su Nianyu said angrily: "Don't use this kind of stupid trick to trick me, and let your girl bypass me if you don't pay attention." As a woman, you have to know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise who will dare to marry you home in the future?"

Li Nianyuan made a big grimace at her contrary to common sense, and then a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind Su Nianyu, his chin rested on her shoulder, and the comer smiled and said, "If no one dares to marry, then I will marry." ”

Su Nianyu came back to her senses at this time, looked at the person behind her with a surprised face, pulled out of his arms, gave Chu Xianzhao a slight blessing, and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." ”

Li Nianyuan stuck out his tongue, and followed Su Nianyu's appearance to salute Chu Xian and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Xianzhao raised his forehead and said helplessly: "Why do you also come to me for this trip, there is no one else here, so don't have so much red tape." ”

She stared at Chu Xianzhao directly, and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World came here tonight, do you have any advice?"

Chu Xianzhao listened to her slightly indifferent tone, thinking that she was having trouble with him because of Princess Daqin's affairs, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Nianyu's arm, wanting to pull her back into his arms, Su Nianyu's face suddenly turned red and said, "Don't ...... Obuchi is still here. ”

Li Nianyuan couldn't help muttering: "Brother Xiaozhao, it turns out that you still remember us, you have a conscience." ”

Chu Xianzhao happened to be free tonight, and heard Pomegranate say that Li Nianyuan was learning the piano with Su Nianyu every night, so he thought about coming to the Falling Water Courtyard to see if he could meet the two of them, who knew that as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard this big and small squeaky chatter, Su Nianyu and this child can talk very well, there is a reading in both names, Su Nianyu is still wearing the peach-patterned cloud robe, which is not as gorgeous as the palace lady, which can be regarded as a major feature of her.

Su Nianyu was obviously very happy, and said with a smile on her eyebrows: "Why are you so free to come to see us tonight, I haven't seen you much recently." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "I haven't come to see you much recently since I came back from Xilin, thinking that I will come here tonight when I am free, what are you two talking about so happily?" he said as he looked at Su Nianyu's body, and he didn't feel it for a few days

Is she a little fatter, Su Nianyu is the whitest-skinned woman Chu Xianzhao has ever seen, maybe it has something to do with the fact that she has lived in the northern snow country since she was a child, and her figure is tall and slender in the field, and the summer in Lin'an City will not be too cold, in addition to the peach-patterned cloud robe outside, there is only one inner clothes left inside, and it seems that she has a slender figure, her narrow eyes are full of charm, and the rouge on her lips looks particularly attractive on her snow-white face.

"Come on, let's talk about it for a long time. Chu Xianzhao hugged her waist and kissed her face hard, maybe it was too hard, but there was no smell of ****, Su Nianyu pushed his chest, and said shyly: "Xiao Yuan'er is still here." ”

"I'm afraid that everything is my own family, right, Xiaoyuan. Chu Xianzhao took out a hand and rubbed Li Nianyuan's head, every time he saw this girl, he would be in a good mood, seeing her eyes shining and looking at herself, he asked her what she was talking about with Su Nianyu tonight and chatting so happily, so she told Chu Xianzhao what she had just said.

It's also strange to say, sometimes children's ignorant words can often tell the truth that even adults can't tell, when Chu Xianzhao heard her say about love and liking, he was obviously very interested, but Su Nianyu didn't say a word in the process, and let him hug him.

Hearing that Su Nianyu taught her a song "Sauvignon Blanc", Chu Xianzhao immediately asked Li Nianyuan to play a song for him on the spot, listening to the sound of the piano in her hand, Chu Xianzhao's mood relaxed unconsciously, and the three of them played here for a long time, until the eldest princess's personal maid came to pick up Li Nianyuan, and only the two of them were left here.

Su Nianyu suddenly said: "Xiao Zhao, there is one thing I want to tell you, when you are away, in addition to teaching Xiao Yuan to play the piano, I will also help the palace maids and eunuchs in Baihua Palace to see a doctor, the people in the imperial hospital don't care about their life and death, just care about the health of your royal family, but I know that His Majesty the Emperor and the eldest prince, including you, have a very comparable physical fitness, and you don't need to go to the imperial doctor once a year, but there are many people in Baihua Palace who are short of medicine, and some palace girls can only wait for death in bed when they are sick, which is much worse than people outside the palace." ”

Chu Xianzhao hugged her from behind, thought for a moment, and said: "Okay, when I go to greet my father in two days, I will tell him about this by the way, and let him transfer some people from the imperial hospital to the outer palace to help the palace maid and eunuch see a doctor, I came to you this time, and I want you to help me write a tune, to be festive, it can make people happy, now that the wedding date of the marriage of Yinguo and Zhuguo is approaching, I want to put this song on the wedding of me and Ye Weiwei." ”

Su Nianyu said: "I will find time to help you write in the next two days, is there anything else?"

Chu Xianzhao showed a wicked smile and said, "This will drive me away?" I was wondering what kind of posture I should let you put on tonight......

Su Nianyu's face suddenly turned red, but fortunately, Li Nianyuan was no longer here, gently

Glaring at him, he said, "You are speaking more and more inappropriately now, you were not like this before." ”

Chu Xianzhao's fingertips wrapped around a strand of green silk around her, squinting and smiling: "People can change, but you said this yourself, besides, when I brought you to the palace before, you also stripped naked and seduced me, have you forgotten?"

When Chu Xianzhao said this, a pair of claws also grabbed her chest dishonestly, Su Nianyu slapped his hand a little angrily, and said: "It used to be before, and now it is now, besides, you used to like to stick to me all day long, but now I can't see anyone for a few months, I feel like I'm a widow, come and go as soon as I want, just don't come!"

In the past, she was quite good at indulging in her own lust, but now that she is familiar with each other, she doesn't want to play any tricks, to put it bluntly, Chu Xianzhao still spoke softly, and said in a good voice: "I haven't been with you well this year, in addition to helping the people in the palace see a doctor, I want you to teach Xiao Yuan to play the piano, hard work for you." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World said this, but it hurt me, I have always liked that child in Xiaoyuan, as for helping people see a doctor, at least I can't bear to watch them being tortured by illness, how to talk about hard work...... It's just that you either went to Shuyue or Xilin this year, and I was very lonely. When she said this, she looked at herself with teary eyes, which made him feel that the woman around him was very fragile and pitiful, and he wanted to take her into his arms and comfort her.

Chu Xianzhao was speechless for a moment, gently grabbed her arm, Su Nianyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and only listened to Chu Xianzhao and said, "Let's go into the house and talk about it, okay?"

She consciously felt very confused in her heart, but she couldn't find any reason to refuse Chu Xianzhao, let alone tell Chu Xianzhao about it, and after he returned from Concubine Guan to Yinguo and became the prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, who was not well known, suddenly became a hero known to the whole country, and most people looked at him differently, but he didn't see how his mentality changed, it seemed that he was still the little boy who was polite and shy and didn't dare to look at his eyes.

She felt in a trance that she was picked up by him and brought into the room, and when she came back to her senses, Chu Xianzhao was already untying her belt, her face flushed even redder, she sat up from the bed with her hands and said, "Wait a minute...... Wait for me to take a shower...... I have something to tell you. ”

Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, and said with a bright smile: "Why don't we wash it together?"

"No way!"

Since she said so, Chu Xianzhao is not easy to persevere, it is not interesting for both men and women to destroy the taste, maybe this is one of the wonderful feelings that power brings him, he can be extremely tender to her, and he can also vent violently on her, no matter what he does to her, she will not refuse, everything is under his control, this feeling makes him feel very comfortable.

People are always afraid of power, such as fear of the flood beast, but once

When you hold power firmly in the palm of your hand, you can feel how useful it is.

Chu Xianzhao listened to the sound of water coming from the bath room, lying flat on the bed and looking at the mosquito net above her head, feeling that there seemed to be very few things in her room, a chair in front of the dresser and a low couch, the medicine cabinet was placed with the piano score she composed herself, the faint fragrance of medicine penetrated into his nostrils, the pale yellow candle flame filled the room with warm light, plus a beautiful woman bathing her body in the bath.

Maybe this feeling of home comes from this, it doesn't need to be good, as long as it's your own thing, it can always make people feel a sense of belonging.
