Wan Zhang was sighing in his heart, when he heard Xie Daoyun continue to greet Wang Xianzhi:

"How is the princess?"

Her heart jumped, and she didn't know what kind of expression Wang Xianzhi would have when he heard this title, this title that was destined to be tied to herself for the rest of her life, but every time she heard it, she would remember her sad things.

Will it be resentment, despair, or some other complex emotion?

However, there was no expression on his pale face, not even the slightest fluctuation could be seen, and he only replied lightly, in the most ordinary tone:

"The first seven of the queen, the princess went back to the palace to visit the emperor a few days ago."

I don't know why contact with Wang Xianzhi always gives people a sense of alienation, but he is obviously a polite and introverted thin young man, who seems to be non-aggressive and has no ability to defend himself. Even, I don't know if such a metaphor is suitable for a man, he is a piece of Xiuyu that people want to put in the palm of their hands and treat it carefully, and in the family, he must also be the youngest brother who has been cared for the most by his parents and brothers since he was a child.

After a while, seeing that there was nothing to say, he slowly lowered his head and said, "The little brother has taken his leave first." ”

Xie Daoyun nodded and told him to walk slowly, and Wang Xianzhi slowly disappeared under the bridge with the support of the two little slaves. The wide robe is slender, and the back looks helpless and lonely.

Wanzhang shook his head, very sympathetic to his suffering, and realized for the first time that this was probably the meaning of the sentence that overheard Xie Yan and Xie Xuan saying that day: The children of the family rely on the surname in front of their names without food and clothing, and if they don't have the protection of the family, they are nothing, so they should dedicate their lives to the family.

A lifetime, naturally, includes feelings.

But the matter has come to this, you can put it first, she is only very interested in one thing now, she has not known much about the royal affairs, just now I heard Wang Xianzhi talk about the deceased queen Wang, only to know that the late queen's surname Wang Dongjin family is only a few, could it be that the deceased queen is Xie Daoyunfu's family?

As soon as he wanted to ask, he heard a burst of laughter under the bridge, and the laughter was mixed with the timbre of a child. It turns out that the person I am looking for has always been under my nose, but the vegetation here is abundant, and it is not easy to find it if you don't look carefully.

The arch bridge is many zhang higher than the ground, just to be able to see the every move of the people on the ground clearly, only to see Yun Zhizheng and the little maid squatting on the ground and not knowing what to play, the little slave is holding a leaf of banana for them to cover the sun, the two people squatting on the ground from time to time shouted some strange names, and from time to time the three of them laughed together.

Wanzhang couldn't see it clearly, so he had to look at Xie Daoyun suspiciously, and Fang heard her say to herself: "They are playing with grass." ”

Fighting grass? This is also a fighting grass?

Wanzhang became more and more confused, he didn't have played grass fighting, obviously the two of them each took a plantain and pulled it crosswise, and whose grass was tougher than that, where did they each take a bouquet of flowers and plants like this to sign up? In contrast, this should be Wen Dou Cao, and what I played before was Wu Dou Cao.

Approaching them with light steps, Wanzhang heard them taking turns saying a few strange names, such as bell grass, drum flower, Changchun, Banxia, calendula, hosta flower, etc., compared to this, he has not played as elegant as a child for so many years.

Under the blow to their self-esteem, they have come to Yunzhi, and the two of them who are playing the game are still concentrating, and it is the little slave holding a banana leaf to shade the sun who is the first to see them.

It was inconvenient for the little slave to salute while holding the banana leaves, so he only bowed his head deeply and said, "Hello, madam." ”

This greeting finally made the two of them, who were engrossed in playing, realize that someone was coming, and the little girl hurriedly stood up to greet her, and Yun Zhi also got up immediately and threw herself into Xie Daoyun's arms to call her mother.

Xie Daoyun also hugged Yunzhi and smiled gently: "Tired of playing, right?" Would you like to go back to your room with your mother? ”

"Yun Zhi is not tired." The little hand made a head-scratching motion, which was very cute, "I still want to play for a while, just let them send me back later." ”

"Okay then." Xie Daoyun touched his head again, turned to the maid and the little slave and said, "You guys play with the little young master, don't play for too long, remember to bring him back early." ”

"Yes."

The two of them complied with each other, and Xie Dao Yunfang took Wanzhang to leave and return to the room first.

Walking out of the garden, bypassing the pavilions, and returning to the room, the catkins had been waiting for them for a long time, and when they saw them in the courtyard, they immediately greeted them, but they didn't see Yunzhi being brought back, so they were a little puzzled.

Liu Wu asked, "What about Young Master Yun?" ”

"He's having fun and won't come back." Xie Daoyun laughed while sneering, and then walked over to Liu Wu and said, "You go and pour a cup of tea, I have something to say with Miss Wanzhang." ”

"Yes." Liu Wu received the order, and then turned and retreated.

Wan Zhang and Xie Daoyun returned to the room, and as soon as they sat down, Wan Zhang heard Xie Daoyun say slowly and calmly to himself:

"Zhang'er, what you saw just now is the youngest son who was the most proud of the ancestor before his death, Wang Xianzhi."

Wanzhang Fang knew that what she was going to tell herself was about this, because she only knew a little about Wang Xianzhi's matter, so she pretended not to understand, and continued to listen to her with some regret.

"Many years ago, he was also a dashing man, and later married the daughter of the Xi family, who was a childhood sweetheart, Xi Daomao, by the way, that Xuan is the niece of the aunt, the two young husband and wife, the love is sincere, the two are in good harmony, and they have a daughter, but they died soon after, and there is nothing else. A few years later, the princess's concubine Huanji participated in a conspiracy, which was unfortunately revealed, and he was deposed and exiled. The princess has actually been optimistic about the uncle for a long time, loves his demeanor and talent, and the former concubine Ma Huanji is just the heart of the heavenly family in order to win the courtiers, and now it is liberated, the uncle and the Xuan family have no heirs, just as a reason to dethrone the wife, the princess went to beg the queen mother and the emperor, the Wang family is also a big family, the royal family is also happy to climb, a marriage order down, many years of feelings were beaten to the dust. ”

About this past, Wanzhang had known five points in folklore and Liu Wu's mouth, but now he heard Xie Daoyun, who has seen it with his own eyes, but he has another feeling, outsiders are hindered by the royal face, and will only pick up the good ones, for example, Wang Xianzhi has had a smooth career since then, and he and the princess raised their eyebrows and respected each other. However, no one knows, and no one dares to say that Wang Xianzhi's true love is only his ex-wife Xi Daomao from beginning to end.

Wanzhang sighed for a while, and suddenly asked incomprehensibly: "Is it ...... for the emperor to marry the princess and the little prince of the Wang family" She held her head and thought for a while, "Seven years ago, the emperor only ...... at that time"

"The emperor was only eleven years old back then." Xie Daoyun was calm and told her, "This is not the emperor's idea. He glanced at Wanzhang, who seemed to have an understanding, and said, "It's not the Queen Mother's idea, this is what my uncle meant." But the uncle's original intention was to live up to his friendship with his ancestor for many years, so that his favorite youngest son would have a bright future, so he pulled him into the palace and provided the fastest opportunity to enter the upper echelons of the imperial power. The uncle loved Xi deeply, and burned his feet with wormwood in order to refuse marriage, and suffered from foot disease, which has been bad for him ever since. ”

The starting point and the result go their separate ways, such things are not rare in the world, but Wang Xianzhi's tragic fate is really people can't help but sigh that the world is changeable, fate said, believe it, believe it or not, once disappointed, everyone will blame luck and fate.

As soon as a person is born, he is destined to face great calamities, great sorrows, and great sufferings, and no one is spared, and his fate is destined.

Wan Zhang sighed: "The world is always like this, everyone has their own destiny." ”

After speaking, he felt that his words were too pessimistic, Xie Daoyun was afraid that he didn't like it, so he quickly glanced at her expression, but fortunately, she seemed to think of something else because of this incident, and she was in a trance, and she didn't hear her words clearly, so she immediately changed the topic and asked:

"By the way, Sister Yun, this deceased queen is my brother-in-law's family?"

Xie Daoyun came back to his senses, paused, and then calmly told her: "No, although they are all surnamed Wang, the first queen is the Taiyuan Wang family, and my husband's Jun family is the Langya Wang family." ”

"I see."

Before the words fell, the voice of catkins came from outside the door:

"Young Master Yunzhi, you're back!"

followed by a stack of voices, not long after Yunzhi ran in from outside the door, as soon as he saw his mother, he stuck to it, twisting the strands like candy, it happened that Wanzhang and Xie Daoyun were almost talking, seeing that it was not early, he got up and said to Xie Daoyun:

"Sister Yun, I see that the time is almost up, so let's go back first."

"Wait a minute." Xie Daoyun soothed Yunzhi in his arms and quieted him down, and then got up and said to her, "Zhang'er, why don't you stay with me tonight, I feel close to you when I see you, and I often want to say a few more words to you." ”

Hearing the two of them say that they wanted to leave and stay, Liu Wu also hurriedly ran over to make a statement:

"Miss Wanzhang, stay tonight!"

On the one hand, it was getting late, and on the other hand, I felt that I had a good chat with Xie Daoyun, Wanzhang grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and never had a playmate with a common language, although Xie Daoyun was a few years older than her, but he was always a homosexual, and his personality was very much in line with her, and the emotions that had been pented up for twenty years finally found someone to express, even if he traveled for three days and three nights. Hearing Liu Wu's pleading, he was reluctant to let their master and servant separate, so he pretended to be reserved for a while and agreed, and was so happy that Liu Wu surrounded her and called her a good girl.

That night, Wanzhang and Xie Daoyun slept in the same bed, and Yunzhi was taken to sleep with Liu Wu, and the two talked all night like a pair of ordinary girlfriends. Later, on the second day, it was like this again, it was late, the conversation was good, plus Xie Daoyun retained, Liu Wu instigated, and Wanzhang did not go back to Xie's mansion, so he lived in the palace day after day. Later, she got used to it, so she simply decided to live in Xie Daoyun's place like this, anyway, living anywhere is similar to her, and she planned to send Liu Wu to accompany her to Xie Mansion to bring her clothes and things, and she was determined to live for a long time.
